Q 1 x QR Ll .A .W -vw., Q va' jecgfcafion To the ideals of the school-fraternity, loyalty, and honor-which We have always cherished and vvhich for four years have served as a source of in- centive tor us, We the class of '37 reverently dedicate this edition ot the North Star. X Q 4,x '1 V-2 . 'I X.-gg 0'C6WOZ We, the ensigns of 1937, are launching off at the dawn of a radiantly promising future, initiating a new half century of advanced education at North Tonawanda High School. For four years we have been safely harbored within the haven of our beloved Alma Mater, to whose ideals we dedicate this volume of the NORTH STAR. VVe have endeavored to construct this book to conform to the theme of building character as compared to that of building a ship. Gradually we have been promoted from lowly freshmen to the rank of seniors, the ensigns of the ship. In our first year we established a firm foundation by learning to adapt ourselves to the principles of high school life. During our second year we acquired more intimate knowledge of the complex rudiments and mechanism of seamanship. As juniors, we participated more actively in the organizations of the school. We, in our senior year, strove to master scholastic difficulties to obtain our diplomas and engaged in the supervision of our underclass-mates. p Under the careful guidance of our pilots, who have supplied us with the best of material for character building, we are now mentally, physically, morally, and spiritually equipped to leave our sequestered stronghold and to embark on the Sea of Life. Many graduates have definite, planned itineraries directed toward higher institutions of learning to complete their coursesg others may not venture far, seeking recognition at home. A few among our number will attain renown after breasting perilous, stormy voyagesg some, erring from the charted route, may flounder and be lostg still others may become disillusioned by huge obstructing waves and return to anchor. Whatever our voyage, wherever ourdestination, when Life's golden sunset deepens and we sail across the beckoning, tranquil horizon, we shall meet again and be reunited to reminisce over our arduous, yet happy days at North Tonawanda High School. Bon voyage! Happy landing! 6 0. x av, Q nun, - ,Y ilklluu-u .,5' .lu 0 . -1, -' Q , 2 flu' : P 5 1 ' 1 -K s f on , 'n x nf l 1 . f ,I 4 ' 1 x' 1 N 'K ' s o H . 5 1' . U YH Wu .

The only reward ofa board member is the satisfaction of per- forming an invaluable service to the community. The Board of Education has complete charge of local education. Meetings and conference require much time and thought. The Board has always endeavored to furnish the best educational facilities which their judg- ment leads them to believe that the taxpayers can reasonably afford. VVhile the Board has always had especial interest in the high school, vocational train- ing and the difficulties of restoring the single session are receiving much attention at present. These are complicated problems which can not be solved at once. High school students may rest assured that their interests are being very carefully and ably considered. 8 I- E G-llmznzafmfzm Principal: MR. GEORGE LowRY Ojice Secreta1y: MRS. AGNES ORcU'rT Assistant Secretary: Miss FLORENCE Doom' The pilot-house of the North Tonawanda High School is a trim room lined with charts, files, and all articles necessary to successful steering. The captain's special cabin opens off the main chart room and here bustling, humorous Captain Lowry transacts the business of the day. His aides, Mrs. Agnes Orcutt and Miss Florence Doody, file ship's papers, make out reports, take care of lockers, tardiness, attendance records, examination results, blue slips, schedules and business. Captain Lowry interviews midshipmen and parents, signs excuses, regulates hall traffic, and sets the course of the ship. Any able seaman who disobeys sailing orders must answer to Captain Lowry also. The pilot-house is always the scene of much activity. 9 fl! ,f-L CSS Clarify Mr. George Lowry . Mr. Prince Beebe . Mr. VVallace Bitters . Miss Anna Byers Miss Eileen Clary . Mr. M.

Very vivacious with dark hair and brown eyes, she was chosen queen of the Freshman May Festival last year. Her hobbies are tennis and music, but the lure of adventure appeals to her, so she aspires to be engaged as an air-hostess. Vice-Pre.fidem': The ethereal waves of radio mechanics fascinate the receptive mind of Raymond Wieloszynske who wants to fill the capacity of a radio announcer.

Vice-Pre.vident: Nimble-footed, blond Norman Prohaska, one of our star foot-ball players, is not only devoted to athletics such as football, wrestling, and boxing, but is also an expert dancer. Pratt is considered the father of thejunior class. He would like to enter college and become a professional football hero or die in the attempt. S ecremry : David Graham, with the reputation of being the practical joker and cut-up of the class, is usually found wandering aimlessly around the corridors capering or acting mis- chievously.

C6 7 99 af 4 ei Qofefaae Harold Thielke Suzanne Tussing W'eston Nicholson Helmut Mueller Lois VVoodrufT Violet Kramer Anna Slusarczyk Jane VVire VVilliam Babel Felicia Rog It has become a tradition in North Tonawanda High School for the graduating class to launch a dramatic production annually. This year, Let's Get Together by Katherine Kavanaugh was presented. , This is the story of the Eversman household. Harold Thielke, the irascible, stubborn, and narrow-minded father cannot keep pace with the times. The result is disagreement in the family, principally with Weston Nicholson, Jack, the son who expects the privileges of youth of his age. Of course, the mother, Susanne Tussing, has to bear it all and effect peace if possible. The second son, Helmut Mueller, who has an instinct for business, con- stantly hankers after the money owed him by Jack. Bobbie, the youngest child played by Lois VVoodruH7, who has the unique honor of being the first female to play a male part in an N. T. H. S. Senior play, determines to do a man's work and consequently gets in trouble. Lucy, the younger daughter, who is at that age, is a center of amusement and disapproval to the family. Jane Wire, the older daughter and William Babel, a rash young- ster and next-door neighbor, provide the romantic interludes. With the help of Felicia Rog, his sophisticated sister, Bill makes Mr. Eversman conscious of his antiquated ideas. Everybody compromises and the family is happy in the end.

How pleasant it is to recall the events which have occurred during the past four years - years which will always be memorable to us - while we were sailing the seas of knowledge! Let's see what happened as we traveled: September, 1933- A very bewildered group of freshmen entered the stately portals of N. T. H. S. and for the first time began to wrestle with the rudiments of algebra and biology. The double session was put into effect for the first time. jfanuary, 1934- We have become accustomed to the school routine. After recuperat- ing from the nausea the school exams caused us, we followed the example of our illustrious predecessors and elected officers. Thelma Marchall, Leonard Sikora, and Alvin Ostwald obtained the coveted titles of President, Secretary and Treasurer respectively. February, 1934- Not to be out done by the upper classmen, we formed a Freshman dramat1c club which we called the Buffoons. Several of us demonstrated our histrionic inclinations in the one-act play, Breakfast Marblz, 1934-We were startled and surprised by the appearance of a Freshman paper! CNow it is known as the N. T. H. S. Review, which gets the students all agog with excitement every two weeksj. May, 1934- W'e popularized the so-called amateur program l' for which much credit was deserved by Mr.Tierney and to Fred Cianfrini who enthralled his naive audience with the blithe, lilting tunes which emanated from his accordion. june, 1934- Exams and report cards. September, 1934- As sophomores we began to attend the morning session and un- consciously began to adopt a very superior and condescending tone toward the freshies. Mr. Lowry replaced Mr. Dana H. VVells as principal of our school. :?!l77ll6Z7j', 1935- VVe began to grapple with these chill-givers, the Regents- for the first time since entering high school. Seplember, 1935-Organizing as a junior body, we chose Weston Nicholson, Felicia Rog, Harold Thielke, and Doris Utnehmer to steer us. They were aided by the wise counsel of Miss Byers. November, 1936-The first social event sponsored by us-a sport dance-was a success. May, 1936 - As blase' juniors, our class demonstrated to-the others its originality by having a Junior Hop which was a social success but a financial Hop. September, 1936- Now that we're seniors we're all set and rarin' to go. VVe selected LaVerne Dueger at the first meeting to represent us at the Athletic Council. At the second get-together we selected officers, VVeston Nicholson again became Presidentg Louise Dorn- feld, Vice Presidentg Jessie Yee, Secretaryg and Lida Rech, Treasurer. October, 1936 - Busy days have come upon usg through peddling magazines and candy, we exercised our abilities or salesmanship. Our hot dog stand during the football season brought a neat sum ofmoney to our treasury. The senior rings arrived before Thanksgiving Day and we were all breathless with excitement at having an emblem all of our own. ffzmuary, 1937- The Regents and school exams made us seem morose for a few days. The business of the publication of the annual opened a new vista for literary and business endeavor among the seniors. February, 1937-Another Candy Sale! Thelong lethargic dramatic club produced four one-act plays, supplied an evening of excellent entertainment, and again revealed some latent talent from among the seniors. Mnrcl1, 1937- Music, lights, curtain - the indescribable glamour and excitement of a first night were experienced by the cast of Let's Get Together, a play by Katherine Kavanaugh. Needless to say the presentation was one of the best offered by a senior class, consequently, the audience was big and responsive. lCom'inued on Page 591 35 C1...fVIA11 We, the North Tonawanda High School Seniors, in a year of smooth Sailing, nine- teen hundred and thirty-seven, bequeath in our CLASS WILL to the following persons, both friends and enemies, our most worthy possessions.

When in the evening Fair Niagara 'J twiliglzlfalls - A playful breeze flipped the pages of my book. I laid it down and leaned back in the deck chair. The sinking sun filled the western sky with orange and saffron hues and occas- ional splashes of crimson. The leaping waves of the ocean threw reflections of the sunset in every direction. The sun soon disappeared below the horizong the sky gradually darkened to a deep azure sprinkled with stars. The vast expanse of water seemed to roll on end- lessly, rocking the boat as it plowed through the briny deep toward a safe harbor. As I lay dreamily watching the starlit sky, the path of the Milky Way across the heavens, the stars seemed to move about, forming images. I discerned the figure of Douglas Hartel in the Milky Way. He was setting a bottle of milk on the doorstep of a small white cottage. He is a milkman.

T. H. S. Review holds many accounts of storm and foul weather. Good harbors and calm waters have been scarce, but the hardy sloop of the Review has sailed on for three years. The Review, now an indispensable factor in school life, was founded in the spring of '34 by an indomitable group of Freshmen. Under the guidance of Miss Elizabeth Mills they published two issues, and the follow- ing autumn resumed publication with Mr. Earl Tierney as faculty adviser. Mr. Charles O'Brien, Mr. Lewis Smith, Miss Edna Sackett, Mr. Herbert Drumm, Miss Genevieve Meagher, Mr. Edward Parske, and Mrs. Agnes Orcutt have aided the course of the Review. In 1935 the Review was awarded a trophy for being the best mimeographed high school newspaper in Western New York. In 1936 the Review was awarded the blue ribbon for second place. This year, smooth sailing ahead and harbor in sight the Review has an entirely diH erent executive system. The governing body is the Board of Directors composed of Editor Charlotte Eichler, Business Manager Joyce Chester, Ex-Editor Ruth Milander, Ex-Busi- ness Manager Phyllis Chester, Chief Mimeographer Martha Soissa, Head Typist Adeline Schulz, Art Editor George Miliczky, Clerks Florence Plewinski, and Lucille Nagel. The board decides every matter of importance concerned with the publication of the paper. The staffis assisted by Mr. Smith, and Mr. Bitters, business advisers, Miss Meagher, typist adviser, and Mr. Tierney, the editorial adviser. For the last three years the Review has maintained its original stand, that even a school newspaper should exemplify the popular rights of the freedom of the press and has continued to personify its slogan A Hardy and Forthright News Magazine. 41' X W 'M 'N. 5 N, ,X K. -i .fag ,s , age.. ,N Q -fl as ,X win 5,-X' ti 14 3 .R R -i S 'X Qz.efC1.i?'wM Together with- the Freshman Girls' Glee Club, the Senior Glee Clubs presented a pageant at Christmas time called Why the Chimes Rang. The combined glee clubs, under the direction of Miss Mary V. Zielinski, are now launching upon the prospect of going to the Niagara Falls Music Festival. Presently, the choristers are planning a spring concert. They will also sing for Commencement. The Boy's Glee Club had an exceptionally large membership this year, and accom- plished much despite the handicap of a suitable time for a rehearsal period. The Freshman girls have worked hard and have entered wholeheartedly into the glee club activities. A girl's sextette, consisting exclusively ofSeniors was formed for the purpose of singing in assemblies and at Commencement. The officers of the Girl's Glee Club are: President, Louise Dornfeldg Vice President, Elvera Fischleg Secretary, Margaret Knoellg Sergeants at Arms,Shirley Luck,Anne Marie Thomulkag Librarians, Florence Rice, Erma Wlollnik. 42 1 I l -vi WW ,awp Oecaeafm am! gmc! 'iv 67' The North Tonawanda High School Orchestra has sailed blithely ahead this year, under the able guidance of Miss Mary Zielinski. The orchestra has appeared in many assemblies this year, and cooperated splendidly with the glee clubs in making the Christmas program a success. Welistened to its renditions at dramatic club presentations at the senior play, and at the graduation exercises of the Class of '37. The orchestra and band plans an embarkment to the Niagara Falls Music Festival this year. Later this spring they will give a concert in conjunction with the glee clubs. The N. T. H. S. Band, ably directed by Mr. Stanley J. Cyran, only leader in Western New York holding an Army and Navy Bandmaster's Certificate, has successfully played throughout the seasons for football games, assembly programs, and public concerts. The band has exceeded its quota of players, now having fifty-seven members. Rx, R fi it ., , c Xa '- Z lsfigig 43 .. .C 1 -X. 0 lilillil fl CQ te? Ojice President Vice President Secretary .

At the beginning ofthe year, Commander Houghton, our new director of histrionics, proceeded to produce several outstanding productions. The dramatic group First launched The N. T. Yankee, a play dealing with modern day scenes around the globe. Then there followed assembly programs during which a series of one-act plays were enacted, two of which were VVho Says Can't and The Murder Mystery, at Christmas time. These two plays were again presented before the Masonic Organization for charity. At the beginning of the second semester, our dramatic club presented a variety program opened to the public. This included four one-act plays, namely, Little Prison, YNienies on VVednesday, Soul Vibrations, and And the Lamp VVent Out, a pantomime. Other such programs were planned for the rest of the year. In May Rhythm Saves the Day, a musical comedy in seven scenes, was presented. May next yC3.l',S dramatic club be as successful as its predecessor.

The football team had little hope of making history in Western New York football, but under the able leadership of coaches Alfred Humphreys and George Vetter, the 1936 team has passed through the season untied and undefeated. The season will long be remem- bered for the Major Conference Title, the Twin City Trophy, and The Buffalo Evening News Cup- all of which were won by North Tonawanda. The slogan, You can't beat North Tonawandaf' was proven when Dueger, Prohaska, Plewak, Piskor-more men than from any other school- were given berths on the all-conference team. In his four years of coaching at North Tonawanda, Al Humphreys has won thirty, tied four, and lost four games. VVe have, therefore, every reason to be proud of our coach, and we salute him on his most laudable season. Our Record of Nine Stmiglzt W im: N. T. . 32 . . . St. Joseph's . 0 N T. . 7 . . P. A.

The competition which it met was unusually strong: but, after winning only one game in the first round, it came back to win four out of seven games in the second round. One of the latter was against Lackawanna, one of the strongest teams in W'estern New York. Al Humphrey's constant endeavoring to uphold the scl1ool,s prestige in athletics met with fair successg therefore, a great deal of credit goes to him. The second string under George Vetter's coaching experienced nine victories and five defeats. Those second stringers, who received little or no publicity, include: B. Blazak, E. Rudsinske, R.

The Flashy Seniors were victorious in the final game of this year's basketball tournament by defeating the Tip-top Sophomores - the Hnal score was 5-2. Through Mrs. Reed's efforts two new sports were introduced this season, badminton and field-hockey. Badminton made such a hit that a tournament was held with 22 doubles competing. Margaret Knoell and Lida Rech carried off the honors of being the first doubles champs in badminton at N. T. The athletes had eight different sports in which to compete for their points. A class of about twenty-five girls went out for life-saving. All classes were well represented in all the sports, showing that girls' athletics is attracting more attention every year. Rech was the successful manager for '37. Keep it up, girls, you '11 make the school proud of you yet - good luck and smooth sailing! , The winning senior basketball team was made up of: Reineka, Ccaptj Salefske, Rech, Luck, Knoell, and Fritz.

Under the direction of Mr. Cragbon the school orchestra in conjunction with the band presented us with an assembly program during which only Irving Berlin's tunes were played and sung. May 1937-On the 7th We shall have our prom. Everybody is a-tingle with excitement. VVe expect it to be a great success and something worth proudly recalling, when we shall have left our Alma Mater. Mrs. Floy Lish invites the staff for its annual picnic to Lake Chautauqua. ffune 12- The class of '37 will have its yearly picnic, for which it has almost unani- mously voted, at Crystal Beach. ffune Z0-The Baccalaureate Services will be held with the customary dignity and ceremony. . 7une 22- The Gateway a pageant by W.
