X ew. I .KN- 1253 1 -l-l. f'I'K'x EE ll HAI FOREWORD FOREWORD We are living in a world of rapid change. The ideals and customs of yesterday are obsolete. In their place, we iinid a new era of progress and achievement. Thns, the Annual Staff felt that modernism would be an appropriate theme for the North Star of 1934. Throughout the annual, we have endeavored to express the spirit of this modern age by both the art work and the write-ups. That the North Star of 1934 may act as a beacon, lighting the way to the future, we, the Senior Class of 1934, pre- sent this book. III To Floy S. Lish, who for six years has faithfully served as faculty ad- visor to the Senior Classes of North Tonawanda High School, we, the members of the class of 1934, do gratefully dedicate this edition of the North Star. ' 'With good will, doing service. ' ' DEDICATION IN MEMORIAM EDGAR LOUIS GETMAN '34 1916-1934 None knew thee but to love thee, None named thee but to praise.

It is the successful completion of one set of tasks and the beginning of an enlarged outlook on greater responsibilities. The faculty of the high school shares with the seniors the joy and happiness of the occasion and in all sincerity wishes each senior the best of good luck, long life, happiness, and a full measure of success. Finally, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good reportg if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think of these things. VI ALMA MATER When in the evening fair Niagara's twilight falls, Breathing its silence through our high school halls, In that happy moment, love for Alma Mater swells, In our hearts abiding, of thy power tells. High and aspiring be our aims inspired by thee Bold and untiring may our course e'er be. Though we leave thy portals, still with us thine influence dwells In our hearts recalling on thy glory dwells. Friends, teachers, classmates, as we raise our farewell song Blending our voices send its strain along: In the radiant future where our beckoning duty leads, May our present visions blossom into deeds. Chorus: N. T. Alma Mater, fairest theme of all our lays N. T. Alma Mater, ever blest thy days. I I FRED PHRROT President 'fSpeak, for whenever you speak we are always ready to listen.

Twilight beauties thrill my heart, Woo my mind to dream. I see a world Filled with eager maids and youths, High school - childhood's goal! With free-reined will Class and student found its place. Novel life enthralled. Ere long came clouds,- Problemati-c rounds of workg ' Teacher-guides seemed good, Off:-times we played,- Games of prowess, nights of fun, Mom-ents spent in song. But years have passed. Men and women now I see Watching further goals. The paths divide - Labor, marriage, other schools, Music, art or stage. We hope and fearg Shining dream-worlds call us on - Life has need of us! Ruth M. Segu in CLASS HISTORY XXI OUT OF THE STRATOSPHERE Dear Diary, H September 1930 What a myriad of beaming and gloomy faces! The latter belong to Freshmen. Our first taste of high school apparently smacks of the bitterness of disillusion. However, they inform us that it's all in getting used to it. April 1931 Miss Wheeler's Freshman English Class entertained the Sophomores at a tea. Everybody appeared to enjoy it - especially the Sophomores. May 1931 The unexpected death of Superintendent Batchellor is a sad blow to us. Though we view his passing with the deepest regret, we wish the best of luck to his successor Claude L. Moss, and a warm welcome is extended to Dana H. Wells who will assume his duties as principal in the fall. V Junel, 1931 Regents! We surely are studying, although the greater achievement seems to lie in overcoming various distractions - mostly the weather. June 30, 1931 Very few casualties. September 1931 Besides lending excellent support to the older activities, the Sophomores are credited with the origin of three new clubs. The Nature Club, with Earl Hilfiker as faculty advisor, is in its second year, while the Junto Club and the Dramatic Club have been recently formed under the guidance of Mrs. Gertrude Taylor. June 1932 We pause here to bid an affectionate farewell to Miss Coman, who is retiring after many years of successfully conveying Latin students through the hazards of declensions andlconjugations. We shall never forget her. , October 1932 Undertaking the task of establishing a precedent for future Juniors has embarked us upon our first project - a magazine sale. March 1933 The publication of an annual is left to us this year. Work has been begun on a two-fold theme dedicated to the depression and the spirit of mirth. September 1933 Our tirst Senior meeting resulted in the election of the following officers: Fred Parrott, Presidentg Dorothy Stenzel, Vice-Presidentg Elizabeth Prohaska, Secretary, Frank Stephan, Treasurer, and Wilbur Ganzhorn, Business 1VIanager. A magazine sale has been launched. October 1933 At the first football game, our hot dog stand was very successful. It promises to be even more so in the future if there is any relation at all between practice and perfection. December 1933 Treading upon the heels of the magazine sale comes the candy sale. March 25, 1934 The Senior play, Bah, A Sub-Deb, exceeded our highest hope. Many judged it the finest one produced in years. The dance after the play furnished a fitting conclusion to an enjoyable evening. April 1934 We feel as if we've just experienced the passing of a crisis. We're going to have an annual! And a prom! And perhaps a picnic! Although time is scarce, we intend to make this annual outstanding in many ways. The Prom committee has lost no time in getting its plans well under way. W May 1934 It is with mixed emotions that we watch the rapid passing of each day whose ending bears us closer to our goal - and to farewell. We shall come together that last hour to share the triumph which we have helped one another to attain. Elizabeth Prohaska, Historian CLASS PROPHECY XXII SECRET MESSAGES OF THE COSMIC RAY Up, up, up thru dense clouds, bumping air currents until my head swam and my heart poundedg I wished fervently that I had restrained my desire. I was taking a trip into the stratosphere with my friend, Professor Procuro Futuro. We had with us the Pxofessor's latest invention, the Futuroscope, a machine which would show the future ten years ahead. And so, in order to quell some of nervousness and excitement, Professor Procuro Futuro Finally let me look in the Futuroscope. First we saw North Tonawanda, where Ona Raper was president of the W. Y. C. S. M. Club CWhynch Come up and See Me Sometime?D. She and the members, Thaddeus Ciesielski, Paul Belstadt, Ruth Meyer, and Edith Harber take turns lecturing on the glories and benefits derived from the West Era. At the High School Qnow quite delapidated from overcrowded roomsJ,we saw Walter Wendell, the principal, with some of the distinguished faculty which included Edwin Schmidt, Irene Lynch Koh, how she talkedj, Anna Masters and Ray Martin. In the auditorium Ruth Seguin was lecturing on The Evils of Ankle Socks in High School. Edward Blazak was also there selling test tubes to the new chem- istry teachers, Alfred Rossow and LeVerne Reilly. However, what surprised us most was James Siegfried and Arthur Peter, agents for Wrigley's and Nestle's, actually selling gum and candy in the hall while Theodore Krzyuda was selling '34 N. T. sweaters for memoirs. Just then the DeGraff Memorial Hospital flashed into view. Dr. La Verne Reinbolt was preparing for an operation. The nurses, assisting him were: Maxine McIntyre, Jean Maldiner, Hazel Andrus, Ruth Fels and Nellie Yates. We looked with horror at the operating table, for on it was Edward Fischle. As the knife sank in his flesh, the scene changed and we saw Wilbert Hoefert, chief of police, Edwin Hardy and John Baxter, policemen dragging in Johnny Vona and Helmuth Grohmann, bouncers at the Flash, for getting too rough. Charles Doody was the new proprietor and Hubert Giardino was check boy there. Over at the Villa Nova, Tom Gray was a gigolo. Assisting as hostesses, were Elizabeth Purdy, Margaret Valliquette, Barbara Preisler, Agnes Pawlik and Virginia Martin. Lorry Papke, owner of a private dairy, interrupted the scene. On his staff of milkmen were Casimir Potaczala, Louis Bartel and Charles Wolgast. Turning the Futuroscope in the opposite direction, we saw Arno King, taking Mae West's place in Hollywood. On the extra girls chorus list were Elizabeth Prohaska, Alice Behm, Alice Daly, Ruth Beiersdorf, and Dorothy Flatau. Helen Hallows, Verna Roggow and Elizabeth Postle were the Wild Women of Hollywood. In fact they were so notorious that even little children were afraid of them. Carroll Stoeckel was owner of M. G. M. while Alice Greno and Lois Doebler were scenario writers. At this time, we came back to New York City. At the Central Park Casino we saw Barbara Bowman still waiting for a break with Eddie Duchin. We noticed Joe Socha and Edison Steig in Edclie's orchestra. The Casino had just been redecorated by F. Werhun and E. Jones, Inc. Outside we saw the circus coming into town. The one and only bareback rider, Myrtha Schmidt was in the parade while Burt Leverenz and Nick Vallio were riding elephants. Walking along the street pushing a baby carriage were Dorothy Qnee Stenzelj and Wilbur Ganzhorn. The circus finally landed in Harlem where Myrtle Hardy and Margaret Clare were reviving the ancient fan dance. Over in Greenwich Village Anita Frankenstein, Dot Kline, and Alice Kriedeman were models for Frank Stephan and Richard Rasmussen, artists. Mary Upcraft had a studio of her own where nightly she entertains famous writers and actors such as Thelma Strassel, the Nina Putnam of 1944, Norma Smith famous as a new Lillian Gish, Mary Cerra, who had just published a book on: Senior Sawdust of '34 g Jerome Kalota, the world's sensa- tional monkey actorg and Al Suchorabowski, the man with a name. In Chicago we saw Harold Horrocks, Donald Graf and Fred Parrott the whistling trio perform- ing over the ether. Roberta Hemple had joined the Chicago Opera Companyg Kenneth Waggoner owned the Chicago Tribuneg Paul Robertson operated a bank of his own, and Art Roberts with Alvin Rycroft were the city's most notorious gangsters. Just at this time, when we were getting disappointed because nothing unusual had happened, the Futuroscope flashed in Africa. We almost burst laughing, for over there was Harriet Forsyth eating CLASS PROPI-IECY XXIII ' cocoanuts with the cannibals. Among the cannibals were Ken Goerss, Bob Cramer, and Walter Necel-- hunters. Glen Baker, Jennie Plewak, Florence Berner and June Schroeder had joined the Pygmy tribe to which Helene Proefrock was giving drum instructions. Not far from them we saw Eugenia Johnson, Arnold Golem, Marian Allan, Lorna Achterberg, and Andrew Fusco in a nudist colony run by Eugenia. Also in Africa were Helen Dornfeld, Virginia Semper, and Eleanore Seiler, hairdressers, who were in- venting new coiffures for the natives. Gordon Stone and William Sheldon were Africa's leading under- takersg while Howard Witkop, Chris Schulmesiter and Winnifred Kane were outstanding missionaries. A loud splash Canyway we thought we heard onej broke forth and we saw Jeanette Kasprazak and Franklin Parske, Weismuller's successor, swimming the English Channel. Both were Olympic Stars. In Paris we saw Verna Wollenberg, a famous designer. Mannequins in her store included Jeanette McIntyre, Doris Klemer, Joan Leszczynski, Cecelia Mang, Angeline Manfredi and Sophia Miller. Stanley Rand owned an Austin Car Company. At the Paris Grand Hotel, Chris Miranda and Stewart King were hotel porters, while Jerome Smith and Karl Hoefert were bell-hops. Stephania Kowalczyk, the present Voice of Experience was making a world tour. Stephen Kruk and Emily Kornacka were her secretaries. Joseph Kalota was the Walter Winchell of Europe. Two of his secret sleuths were Kazimer Koslowski and Jimmy Graf. In one of the Parisian department stores, Betty Bradley was demonstrating a new freckle returning cream, whereas Milly Cohen and John Beach, demonstrated henna packs in the bargain basement, with Anna Furmanek assisting. That seemed to be all of Paris, for the Futuroscope now returned to America, down in Kentucky. There we saw Bob Brick who now ran the Kentucky Derby. Stephen Markovich and Bob Oyer were prominent jockeys who rode two of the world's best race horses owned by Irene Biriky and Helen Berrzdt. Among the spectators watching that day's race were Margaret Forsyth, Supreme Court Interpreter, Norman Miller, the new Roy Atwellg Ruby Bach, still a manhater, and Madison Muncil, who was still looking for Phil . At one of the hot dog stands were Mary Litwin and Victoria Pawlicki, the inseparables, talking to Janet Doebler, America's new sweetheart. Imagine our surprise when later we saw Margaret Toth and Alberta Ludwig, the leading women wrestlers of the day, arguing with Lester Thursam, Slim Summerville's double, because Lester didn't really believe that Mary Strapko had actually found Ponce de Leon's Fountain of Youth . Exhausted by this strange experience and bewildered at discovering the progress and future of my classmates, I leaned back in my seat while Professor Procuro Futuro steered our machine to safety and we landed on good old terra ferma!

This is a play that depends on the acting for its success rather than on the staging, scenery, and costuming, and is probably the most difficult ever attempted as a Senior production here. Bab, A Sub-Deb is the story of the trials and tribulations of the lively Bab, in her attempts to prove to her mid-victorian family that she is really grown-up and deserving of attention. Before she iinishes, she gets more than she has planned on, and the result is almost fatal. But everything turns out right, and they all live happily ever after. Myrtha Schmidt did a line piece of acting with a very long and diiiicult part. Those congratula- tions from Helen Hayes were not at all inopportune. Jean Maldiner, after several valiant attempts, finally succumbed sweetly to the persistent love-making of the English QD Wilbur Hoefert, in spite of the monocle, while Lorry Papke proved a more successful stage lover than Paul Robertson in winning the leading lady's hand. We don't know how she resisted you, Paul! The character parts were successfully portrayed by Arno King and Richard Rasmussen, who received some valuable information and practice. The comedy Cdid it feel as funny as it looked, Walter?J was skillfully supplied by Ruth Seguin and Walter Wendell, who, between them, gave the audience plenty of laughs. Helene Proefrock and Burt Leverenz agreed to take the shorter parts, and played them well. I The play was most heartily received by a full house, and was a great success. It was with much disappointment that the cast learned that the quota of plays had been filled for the contest at Ithaca, but they can be justly proud of the line performance they gave on Thursday, March 22. PICNIC PLANS , r Of course we're going to have a Senior picnic! It is still a part of the futureg but isn't anticipating loads of fun, too? Crystal Beach has been agreed upon as the place, and the big day is Saturday, June 23. Each Senior who wishes to, will be allowed to bring a guest - and don't forget the eats. ! Busses will leave Saturday morning to take the Seniors and their guests to the boat. Arrange- ments have also been made for return transportation. Although the prom was very successful, we expect the picnic to be doubly so. This is the last day that many of us will be together socially, so we're all planning to go and make it a perfect day. We'1l be seeing you on the Cyclone! ff KX' , fi' JUNIORS O F F I C E R S President . . Edward Boyer Vic5e4President . . William Richards Secretary . . Thelma Rostofer Treasurer . . .

For some years there has been a definite interest in the histrionic arts, but only this spring has it reached its culmination in alert organizations. In proof of the fact that the love of dramatics is more or less innate in all humans, boys and girls of diversified types, talents, and interests have been drawn to these new and democratic clubs. They are concerned not only with the theatrical quiddity of acting but also with all the other details of stage activity: costumes, direction, make-up, scenery and lighting eH'ects. The membership of the Buffoons is limited to Freshmen, that of the Thespians to the Sophomores and juniors whereas the Senior group is composed of upper classmen. However, it is hoped to extend the work fully into all the classes and to expand the whole into more active and powerful groups. O F F I C E R S President ..,..,....,..... ,.....,.

We hope the coming season will see a larger and better iield in debating and the discussion of topics of national importance. The purpose of the Junto Club is to develop better speakers, promote the use of better English, and to represent North Tonawanda High School in debates. QUILL AND PEN CLUB The Quill and Pen Club was newly organized this term. It was created for the purpose of stimu- lating an interest in original writing. The motto of the club is The Pen is Mightier than the Sword. Oflicers at present: President, Dana Wells, Jr.g Vice- President,Vincent Bakerg Secretary, June Lewisg Treasurer, Louisa Manfredig Program Chairman, Ruth Milanderg Faculty Advisor, Elizabeth Mills. The first successful project of the club has been a Freshman Newspaper, The Freshman Review. ACTIVITIES XXXXIV 3 n 3 I I I I 5 SENIOR PROM The Senior Prom was the outstanding social function which the Senior Class of North Tonawanda High School has staged this year. Friday, May 18, 1934, marked this gala event, made memorable by four hours of dancing to the iine music of Edward Frauenheim and his orchestra. The gym was beautifully decorated in a myrid of spring colors by a few of the artistically inclined members of the Senior Class. The general success of the prom is attributed to the prom committee, composed of Mrs. Floy Lish, Faculty Advisor, Arthur Roberts, Chairman, Walter Wendell, Franklin Parske, Fred Pariott, Helen Dornfeldt, Jean Maldiner, and Howard Witkop.

Competition was very keen and the squad emerged victorious in four out of eight meets. This was the last season for several of the squad and they all have enjoyed working under Beeb. The past season has been, undoubtedly, the 'most successful, inasmuch as the team took five out of eight first places to win the invitation meet. Staley completed his second Eseason, as undefeated champion in diving. Captain Parske was also undefeated and broke records lin seven out of nine meets, his best records being 58.2 for 100 yardsi and 2:13 for 200 yards. The team brought to North Tonawanda two trophies which had adorned the Tonawanda case one for the 200 yard relay and one for winning the sectional meet.

T. star and an outstanding player of the Tona- wandas, has succeeded Henry Burns as coach. In the matches played, the veteran squad has shown promise, and a good season is certain to result.

Xl gill The season's activities of the G.A.A. started with the annual Q ' Halloween Masquerade Party. This was well attended by alarge number p of gaily costumed members, including our famous Tarzan who, true ' tradition, appeared in the customary skins, bear and otherwise. CWe Qi . have reprinted last year's illustration by special requestj The evening progressed rapidly in the pursuit of various kinds of entertainment A provided by the able committee: Theresa Kasprzak, Katherine Albright, ' Harriet Forsyth, and Helen Chodacki. Costume prizes were awarded ' to Cora Rohrdanz, Mildred Primeau, and Frances Neale. The evening . ff came to a close after a box-lunch was enjoyed by all.

Marie Dorn Due to the double session day, it has been very diflicuult to get the girls together for practice of the various sports, and the turn-outs therefore have been much smaller than in former years. The first sport of the season was Captain Ball, for which about 70 came out. There were several exciting games, and another year, with better conditions, we hope for some real competion. Volley Ball practises are now in session. Judging from the close scores of last season's games, we expect some keen competition this year. Mrs. Reed is also coaching a Life Saving Class. There are 15 trying for Junior Life Saving and 10 for Senior, with three reviewing. The girls in former years have made fine showing with their tests, so we are expecting great things of this years' class. Baseball and track haven't been started yet, but when the weather permits, we expect to swing into them with as much enthusiasm as has been shown toward the other sports. We also hope to have an Interclass Swimming Meet before the season closes. ATHLETICSB o LII GIRLS BASKETBALL The major sport of the year has been Basketball, with about as many try-outs as Captain Ball. There were games in each of the gym classes, and season came to a close with the combined efforts of the star players of these games in two games with Tonawanda. Those who played in the Tonawanda games are: Claudia Klimas, Suzette Grapes, Stephania Niciszewski,-Victoria Monkiewicz, Veroniac Urbanik, Theresa Kasprzak, Dorothy Peasland, Jessie Dorociak, Cora Rohrdanz, Jean Luck, Elona Sommers, Sarah Fire, Irene Tyskiewicz, Vera Smyke, Nellie Thursby, and Marie Swierczynski. Tonawanda versus N. T. at Tonawanda Tip-off was received by Kasprzak, N. T. center guard, passed toward the N. T. basket, received and the iirst 2 points were scored by Klimas. After the second tip-off, Tonawanda seemed to buck up, scoring 6 points to N.T.'s 2 Although N.T. did not score, they were complimented on their passwork and showing well on the defensive. The game proved to be quite exciting, regardless of the score. Nicis - zewski was N.T.'s high scorerer, scoring 14 points, and McDowell was Tonawanda's star shooter. The game was refereed by Miss Beatrice McPhilmy. Score: T. 90, N.T. 24 Tonawanda versus N.T. at North Tonawanda The game at N.T. showed quite an improvement in our players over the game at Tonawanda. Tip-off was received by N.T. and the first basket was made by Fire. Although Tonawanda again was high scorer of the game, N .T. was still well on the defensive. The scorers on N. T. team were Fire, Nicis- zewski, and Klimas. Many substitutuions were made during the game, with everyone playing at his best. The game was witnessed by a large crowd. Miss Elizabeth Wherry acted as referee. Score: T., 473 NT.,8. CHEER LEADERS An able group of cheerleaders composed of : Ray Gilmore Teresa Kasprzak Gladys Graf Claudia Klimas Thomas Gray Emil Kucera Walter Wendell, Jr . was chosen early in the year after competitive try-outs in assembly. The cheerleaders were present at every football and basketball game to spur our teams on to victory. The cheerleaders deserve a great deal of credit for the faithfulness and loyalty with which they filled their position. They have set a worthy example for the school to follow.

Wendell, President Mrs. Colletta B. Smith Charles E. Hewitt Harold E. Bollier Dr. F. Reszel LIV ELECTRO-STATIC SHORT WAVES Mustaches are coming back, says a fashion reviewer. It's the coming out and not the coming back that worries some of us. Many a ship of matrimony has been sunk by too many permanent waves. No matter how efficient the elevator opera- tor is, someone is always calling him down. A man is known by the company he keeps. A woman is known by the company she keeps waiting. No matter how healthy a bowlegged person may be, he is always in bad shape. A beautiful girl invariably has for her closest friend and constant companion, one not nearly so beautiful. Some of us are referred to as poor souls or good souls, others are just heels. Mother Nature intended us to live long. The animals acquire a certain amount of sense before they are ready to die. No school is complete without Freshmen. They're such an inspiration! CEspecially if you have an interest in the simpler phases of life., The greatest water power known to a man is a girl's tears. When riding on Carpenters' buses, remem- ber that if you give a man an inch, he will take a seat. A high school graduate is a man who had a chance to get an education. llll AA- jg A tten tion Miss Da tes ATTRACTIONS Thurlow C. Meyer s Smlth Lumber R . .

H. S.-An obnoxious law has just been repealed. After much wrangling, the girls have won their point and are now allowed to come to class wearing shorts. This seems strangely similar to something else we've heard about. Ah, yes! The anklet episode way back in '34! Washington, D. C.-Senator Joseph Kal- ota, well-known for his motto, Clean Politics, has just succeeded in passing a bill which pro- vides for spring housecleaning in the Senate chambers. Mr. Kalota is an alumnus of this school. London-The greatest sensation since the visit of Cab Calloway in 193.4 ! 1 Our foreign correspondent reports that Benny Matecki and his orchestra have the London night clubs in a whirl. N. T. H. S.-Coach Aganski appears de- termined to have a team of champions this year. He was seen cramming spinach down the throats of a few would-be football stars, recently. New York-Miss Margery Clayton, radio celebrity, stopped here en route to Hollywood from Baden-Baden where she has been vaca- tioning the past few months. Miss Clayton admitted that she is to be starred in a motion picture soon. Paris--F rom the French capitol comes word that La Reinecka in her new book Etiquette for the School Girl, declares red lacquered toe- nails taboo. N. T. H. S.-The sudden popularity of lisp- ing has made it necessary to install courses in diction in most modern schools. The depart- ment in the local high school will be in charge of the famous lecturer and dramatist, Miss Thelma Rostofer. Miss Rostofer declares that lisping is merely one of those idiosyncracies of youth and can be dealt with as easily as slang or a tooth- ache.
