E HAVE often been assured by our f'Qld Grads that the three 9 V6 years spent at Northeast were the happiest of their lives. The associations and friends ,of their school days are among the few things connected with their Alma Mater which they never for- ' get. Their greatest treasures in after life are the mementos of those days, their 'Class Record and Class Pin. They point with great pride to a class record faithfully Written, and printed in permanent, lasting form. They apologize for a record deficient in these respects. Wfith this in mind, it has been our aim to give to the Men of 1904 a record Worthy of a place among their fondest treasures, and one which will in some degree come up to a high standard of literary and artistic excellence. How 'well We have succeeded is for the class to decideg we have done our best to execute the trust of honor placed in our hands by the class. Qwvygmm he acuity ANDREXA7 J. MORRISON, Ph.

Wlhen the heavy veil of darkness W 4 is lifted by the hand of progress, it always discovers the nucleus of t the future state in a greater or less degree of development. True, the QC? inhabitants may as yet be but mere savages, without culture and re- finement, laws or established government, they may not have, as yet, accomplished any deeds, the knowledge of which will be of any value to posterity. But for all that, they have had a previous history, a history which is forever lost. lhfho they are, where they came from, what agencies and influ- ences moulded their destinies, shaping them into what we now find them, must for- ever remain insolvable mysteries. So the ancient history of the Class of 1904 is obscured from the vulgar gaze by a cloud as dense and impenetrable as any ever emitted by a locomotive burning soft coal. The doings of the members of this class, while still studying geography and arithmetic in the grammar schools, must ever be hidden behind a curtain as transpar- ent as a London fog. And may be it is better so. It might so fall out that some assembled here to-day would not care to have the North American advertise by what a narrow margin they managed to squeeze past the sentinel who guards the en- trance into the high schools of Philadelphia. Sufhce it to say, that by some chicanery or other a few lucky sinners did manage it, and, as they set foot across the border, a new epoch was begun in their lives, a new chapter commenced in the annals of Old Northeast. The history of the Class of 1904 was begun! And such a class! Gathered from all the four points of the compassg from Ger- mantown, Kensington, Foxchase, Frankford, as well as from the c'iz'i1i.GUd quarters of the city. Wfe were indeed a motley crowd. W'hen the light of our history dawned on September 9, 1901, it shed its welcome rays over two hundred hfty-three innocent, emerald-hued little kids, all, figuratively and literally, clamoring for admission to that classic pile known as the Northeast 10 Manual Training School, the beauty and grandeur of whose architecture is exceeded only by that of the Parthenon itself. , And we were accompanied, yea, verily, even unto our hearts, content. Promptly, on the stroke of nine, the doors were thrown open, and timidly we advanced, even as calves to the abattoir, silent before their butch- ers. Once passed, there was no escape. Qur only course was to advance, which we accordingly did. At length we found ourselves coralled in a rectangular enclosure, vaguely resembling a room. This, we were informed, was the Front Chapel. It was so large and spacious that for us all to get in at once it became necessary to ar- range ourselves in layers. In this condition we patiently awaited our doom, and it was not. long in coming. A venerable gentleman, who had not yet attained his full growth, for his head was sprouting upwards through his hair, presented himself and commenced to speak. lt needed no town crier to tell us that this was the renowned Dr. Morrison. Wie knew it instinctively and promptly surnamed him Andy.', Awed into silence and submis- sion by the presence of so noted a personage, meekly we sat and absorbed the words of wisdom which were even now falling from his lips. Wfe were treated to a delectable little sermon upon honor, school spirit and other kin- dred topics, which same discourse has been repeated to us every day of the school year. lt was once suggested that we present him with a phonograph, so that the regulation speech could be delivered without any personal effort upon his part. But the scheme fell through, for we concluded that he liked the exercise. He has another little speech which we are forced to listen to quite as often as the one on school spirit. Every morning if his break- fast has agreed with him, he will say, Boys, I feel as though I had a new set of springs in my heels this morning. It throws me into such paroxysms of delight to behold you all looking so well and healthy. And so he runs on like an engine that has lost its balance wheel. But he has one redeeming virtue. If a boy's parents call at the school he will invariably tell them that their son is the best talented boy in the city, that he possesses the most ability, and that he CD11 Morrisonj stayed awake all last night thinking about him. lt makes no didierence who the boy is, it's the same old story. It is even rumored that he once said that Stanley K. Smith stood a fair chance of graduating in IQIO. About this school spirit of which Mr. Dr. Andy is so fond, there was, at first, a good deal of doubt. But gradually, bit by bit, from wondering in a vague sort of way whether the alcohol Mr. Gumphert uses in his shellac was the kind of spirit meant, we came to understand that what Dr. Morri- son calls the Northeast spirit is really a very potent power, even more so than the kind sold in bottles. An inde- finable something, none the less real for being indescribable. A something which causes heavier and vetcrzm athletic teams to regard the game with N. E. with doubt and misgiving, prompts the girls coming over Girard 11 avenue to wear Red and Black ribbon, causes the University to accept our diploma and compels every one to re- spect our boys and hold them in high esteem. After Dr. Morrison had finished telling us how much he loved us, the rest of the faculty were presented. And weren't they a set of beauties, though. Cine by one they came up, bowed and spoke their little pieces. Each told us how highly honored he felt at being permitted to have the privilege of gazing upon such a body of hand- some, intelligent young men. After we had received a knockdown to every one, we were' turned loose for the day, with the understanding that we were to report for active duty on the following Monday. Ah! Little did they dream that they were up against ity, for fair when they tackled the Class of IQO4. A To tell all that happened in the weeks and months following would consume too much valuable time. Suf- fice it to say that the days liew by on golden wings, each following so closely upon its predecessor that they seemed to slip over each other's backs. They were busy days, for, being green, of course we had to get the hang of things. The upper class men assisted us materially in this process of being broken in. They did their 'work so well, in fact, that before long we knew to a nicety just what Prophs. we could 'Kcut with impunity, where to buy the most reliable ponies and, in short, had a pretty fair working knowledge of the shack. Of all the departments of the school to whose mysteries we were initiated none appealed to our minds as strongly as the Manual Departments. Now, we had heard much about this branch of the school work, and we expected to do anything from build- ing a three-story brick house or shoeing a horse to whittling wood for match sticks. As a matter of fact, all we seemed to be able to make was dirt and noise. First came the wood working department under the personal supervision of Mr. jacob Wfildemore, jakey, a short funny little chap, with a huge diamond stud, probably bought from Wfextar, and a tongue like a nutmeg grater. It is an acknowledged fact that the smallest dog always barks the loudest, and threatens to do the most. Jacob was no exception to the rule. lf such a giant as even Nelson Herst got too sassy, the little Dutchman would wax great in his wrath and threaten to put a head upon the offender, throw him over the roof or do some- thing else equally desperate. ln this department we were supposed to learn joinery, but our principal occupation consisted of making shavings and seeing how many coats of molasses Cshellacj we could smear over an exercise without being caught. ,lakey is, however, a very pleasant help in time of trouble. Many and many a boy who having lost trouser but- tons in the scramble for lunch in the basement, has gone to him for consolation and repairs. And Mr. Wfildemore 12 is always ready to fix you up with a wire nail in place of the missing button. He is indeed a bachelor's friend. Then came Mr. Ascough. He it is whom the city pays to instruct its youth in the fine art of moulding, ti11 smithing and chipping and filing. llfloulding wasn't much fun. All a fellow could do by way of diversion was to pour sand down some one's neck, or fill his coat with the same useful substance. Tin-smithing wasn't much better. Wfe were supposed to manufacture funnels, quart cups and other articles of Billy Goat diet. But it was far more interesting to make putty blowers. Anyway, if we did not succeed in making very many of the pre- scribed exercises, there was one thing that we could do to perfection, and that was, make a racket. By laying a piece of tin on a Hat block of iron and pounding it with a mallet, we could generally manage to propagate a few sound waves which, in the course of their travels, penetrated to the furthermost corners of the building, and the nicest part of it was, that all the time we could appear to be industriously at work. Later Thomas undertook to teach us chipping and filing. For the benefit of the uninitiated l will state that the branch of science technically known as chipping and tiling consists of knocking off the top layer of a block of iron and then ploughing out the hills and hummocks with a tile. That is what it is supposed to be. But in reality we seldom got further than knocking the skin off our thumbs and l:1llgC1'S and saying naughty words. One of the truly interesting sights of the school is the Hgrtfb shop, conducted by Mrs. Van Horn. Here in a low ceilinged apartment, closely resembling the Black Hole of Calcutta, we assimilated nourishment in the form of peanut bars with mustard and frozen skimmed milk. Across one end of the cell stretched a counter over which 'fjoefl assisted by several comely, blushing maidens, dispensed chalk and water, Schuylkill mud as well as solid indigestibles. Lest there be any lingering shadows of doubt in your minds as to the identity of the first two mentioned articles, I will state that they masqueraded under the disguises of milk and coHee respectively. XVhen the whole school was assembled here at noon, one might well have been pardoned for supposing that he had stum- bled upon a skirmish between the laps and Russians. The only difference was that our weapons were breadcrusts. cinnamon buns, and other staple food products. In the academic departments maybe we didn't run up against a snag of old sticklers. First, taking them in the order of their importance came Mr. Moore, that is, in his own estimation I and his judgment is considered excellent. Our rosters stated that Mr. Moore taught Algebra, but after we had survived one period under his tender care we all came to the conclusion that the roster had made a gigantic mistake. In personal appearance, actions, and ability to breathe blood-curdling threats, Tommy closely resembles an old linc- caneer of the Spanish Main. Wlith his red hair, long flowing moustache of the same color, and a general air ol' Fierceness, he looks as though he had just stepped out of one of Robert Louis Stevensoirs novels. And he is so 13 , very nice and sociable that, like the Irishman, he is always ready for a friendly fight. Like Mr. Dooley, he constantly threatens to use his influence at the V' frontu against anyone who may have incurred his displeasure. And like Mr. Aft .fp - I 1 ,mg Dooley, his threats die away even as they are uttered, and are no more. Qnce f . during an Algebra spasm this old relic of the Spanish Main said to a certain guileless freshie, ln this equation we have four unknown quantities, X, y, Z and u. Now which one do we wantto get rid of l:11'SlQ?', And moved by a common impulse the entire class shouted with earnest and heartfelt fervor 'fY0zL.',. ,.

V. his ,,., ..,V if ' ' Another mathematical man is Professor Lycurgus Leonidas Ford. Tradi- ff M it ',t' tion states that, as he was christened with the name of the famous Greek mathe- , p , H , ,lx i matician, he therefore took it upon himself to live up , V2 lrxn l iv tg, .A 'yV ff tyyy 7 . ,HA to his name. So now he teaches Geometry. It is gen- I, i V V' A erally conceded that this is the only excuse Mr. Ford ever had for indulging in that science. Be that as it L. L. FORD may, we were obliged to spend five hours a week in his lair, and itis a wonder we're alive to tell the tale. He made us draw diagrams that resembled a scrap basket full of lively eelsg then EA, :ik asked us to explain why straight line AB was not a curve, if it was straight, and why il ,'i,. .' I a circle was round if it was drawn with a compass. These and other kindred prob- lems did he propound much to the disturbance of our mental equilibrium. Wfe now pass from the sublime to the ridiculous, from the contemplation of tragedy to that of comedy. Wfe leave Lycurgus, and meet A. Oswald Michener, alias Dickie, Mich, Qssie', and other like terms of endearment. He was a new addition to our Faculty, having just been raised from the rank of Office Boy to that J g - of a full-tledged instructor in Elementary Science. Dickie', was to teach us Physi- cal Geography, but if he had been out hitting it up on the night before and conse- quently neglected to study the lesson we were to recite on the following day, he would read us some of Kipling's short stories, plentifully adorned with a good, rich, 7 '-l'j Qt 'tilt - iii genuine brogue. This was very nice and sociable, but at the next recitation period he invariably gave us a test upon what he was supposed to have drummecl into our 14 DICKY H MICHENER noddles, while he was relating to us the adventures of Mulvaney. Dickie'i is also , , ,f 'tri m the self-constituted leader of our Orchestra-enough said. There is yet another gentleman whom we would fain touch lightly upon, namely, our English Professor. You have all, doubtless, seen pictures of the old Mediaeval monks, fat, slick, contented, hands folded over well-rounded belly and gif face wreathed in smiles, his whole personage speaking eloquently of indolence and good living. Wlell, that's Lemuel. Always jolly, ever ready to listen to a joke and crack a staler one in return, he is indeed a winner. Chaff is his forte. ff a fellow had his head cut off, Lem would chaff him because now he couldn't eat so much ice cream. Merely as a side issue he also gave us essays to write. Generally, he told us to read a certain book, the Dictionary, Encyclopaedia or other heavier litera- t f ture, and then bring in a Iooo-page essay upon it. lt was not long before we began to suspect that our dear Dr. based his marks upon quantity. .lt was even rumored that he weighed the products of our labor, the heaviest receiving the highest mark. To ascertain the truth of this statement, a certain s wise duck took a quire of foolseap paper and inserted a drop of paste between every two sheets, put the ,fmlv 5, 'f U iH3, title and his name on the front and turned the dummy - DR. VVHITAKER in as his essay. Sure enough, when the papers were . returned this individual had received .a D.,' VVhen we first entered the school we were given our choice of studying Ger- r,. , ', man or French. Cf course, before making any definite decision we consulted our friends in the upper classes, and got their advice. One and all they told us 4 l to take French. Said they, German is undoubtedly the best language to know, 'J but, well, we've been there, and if you want to know anything at all about the l-li I-lf' language, take French ! So accordingly the majority of us selected German. Did tif ' we learn much German? Wfell, really, now-anyway, we had lots of fun. The l7O0l' Dr. is so very tall that when he stands upon his platform he looks right over our heads, and those near him are totally lost to view. Savoy. 15 J' ., 'T' H E FRENCH MA N Those who took French found for their instructor a short, loud speaking, wildly gesticulating little fellow, who wore neckties nearly as loud as Fluck's socks, and who talked in bunches. VVhen explaining a lesson his arms fly around in a most reckless fashion, endangering the life and limb of all within reach. Wfhen in full blast he closely resembles a cross between a Dutch wind mill and a steam carrousel. So the year slipped away, even as sand which we grasp, and ever as we grasp slips through our fingers, and is gone. Almost before we had gotten well settled down to work the Christmas holidays arrived. Then, be- fore we were aware of it, the long summer vacation was upon us. Two .long delicious months of rest, and then work again. E Wfhen we returned in the fall, we had not aged materially since our parting in the spring, it's true, but maybe we didn't feel a whole lot older and graver. No longer Freshmen, we would swagger around with a fine air of importance and proprietorship, taking revenge on the poor, inoffensive little freshies for all the indignities which had been heaped upon our heads the year before. Our class had dwindled during the summer, and we missed many familiar faces. But if the class had decreased. the staff of in- structors had been augmented. lVe found a man on our Faculty, Mr. Chorlton, a graduate of Northeast. It will give you some idea of Mr. Chorltonls habitual frame of mind when T tell you that on one memorable day a bulletin appeared bearing this startling intelligence: A A GREAT cA'rAsTRoPHE!! On March 4 Mr. Chorlton was observed to smile! Q. E. D. This year, in the shops, we took up blacksmithing and pattern making. Wfe had gathered from books that the smith is a mighty, brawny man, but upon entering the dominions of Mr. Rozel QRosellej we looked in vain for any one that would fulfil those conditions. Wfe found out that 0111' smith was a tiny wiry little gink, whose manner and expression were at times really almost human. Yes, Blacksmithing. But don't be alarmed, we were not required to shoe horses. Our most strenuous labors were given to acquiring proficiency in playing the anvil chorus. This is accomplished by a body of performers all pounding in unison upon a steel anvil with a hammer. The back door of the shop opened out into a 16 0 J' 1 f if HW ' ,E Wi FTW all 'fd ft 114' ' R-j ,ilu . . fs - lxzygvuaff ' ' W, ,ill 'i1,i iI'1i , ' 'fi Q, .7 1 f' --V - .1-.

His favorite expression is: Heat this to a cherry red and draw it out six inches. Billy Gumphert and pattern making. The former suggests a dictionary, the latter trouble. Billy is highly cultivated, believes in the broader life, home study, and is a great student. Every night he devours several pages of the dictionary, and the next day we have the beneht of his enlarged vocabulary. It is always possible to tell just how far Billy has read by the character of the big words he uses. One week they will all commence with, say, E, and the next he will begin with the F's. The only trouble is that he don't digest them very well, and when he attempts to unload them on us in the morning they are accompanied by a shower bath. Billy also has a weakness for military drill. Wfhen about to dismiss a class, he will assemble us in a col- umn, and then in sonorous accents issue the command, Attention, mark time, forward, march! The leader of the line usually shouted Charge l and we accordingly left the room on the double quick. In the drawing rooms we were assisted by Profs. Heyl and Pfeil, the former a quiet, inolfensive gentleman. with a voice like wild honey dripping from a forest oak, and the other a big, sleepy, lazy hulk, whose principal ambition in life is to see how many plugs of tobacco he can dispose of in a day. And they all eventually end up behind the radiator at the side of his desk. He would go to sleep in his chair, and we, meanwhile, amused our- selves in various ways. Some took a walk around the square. Raymond Moore, Bruce Murphy and W'alter Miller matched pennies, and in one way or another we managed to eke out an existence. If he happened to be particularly wakeful, Keinath, who served his country so nobly during the coal strike, was sent up to talk to him upon military affairs, and all went smoothly as before. X All during our Freshman year we had had occasional glimpses of the Physical Laboratory. Through the half open door we would peer with awe and wonder into the gloomy region presided over by Dr. George Freeze- out Stradling. Now for the Hrst time we were admitted, and after being in a little while we could not understand for the life of us what had made it so fascinating before. The man who guided our scientific researches was a peculiar, not to say comical, specimen of humanity. He was exceedingly fond of his ease, for whenever about to near a recitation he would sit down in a creaky old revolving office chair. cross his hands in front of him, and settle back with an involuntary sigh of relief, lf instead of following science he had studied finance he would have been without a peer. He is always on the lookout for a chance to turn an honest penny. ln one of our experiments it was necessary to use small, delicate glass bottles which the Dr. informed us cost 33.40, and if we broke one we 17 . . .Ml ik llyaxwisix 6' f' i Jill, i.i.Ml!,i.id, Q 6:71 i My .u.I'T7.'x'TAEl'!R!'.4l:.

Qne did get broken, and the boy quietly went down to Queens and purchased a duplicate for 5.20. , Qne of the great events of the year was our debate with the Central High School. ' Of our class Malcolm Edward Miller participated in this, and doubtless succeeded in covering himself with clouds of glory. At any ryfte, he showed that he had a good memory, for he spoke his piece without .having to be prompted once, and said everything that Dr. Wfhitaker told him to say like the noice little boy that he is. ' But our class was not to run 'its course unscathed by trouble. Early in June our friend and classmate, Robert P. Muench, was taken from us after a few weeks' illness.

STRADLING man to serve ns in the capa Manager for The Archive. had won for him the esteem of both instructors and students, and his loss is sincerely mourned. As our junior year drew to a close it became necessary for us to elect a city of President during the coming year, and also to choose an Editor and Business M Accordingly a meeting was called and we all assembled in the front chapel. A spectator might have thought that he was witnessing an old Roman election, where the officers were elected by acclamation, the parti- sans of each candidate yelling as loud as they could, and the side making the most noise winning. Bradbury was the biggest man in the school, and well able to lick'i any two of us, so upon a gentle hint from him he was elected President. The election of The Archiveu officers was next in order, and then it became apparent how foxy some peo- ple had been. The election was on the afternoon of the debate with C. H. S., and-well, Malcolm Edward Miller was elected Editor-in-Chief. Bob Lehman was chosen for Business Manager. After recuperating from the strenuous work of the past term, we again returned to Old Northeast, this time as Seniors. Many changes had taken place during our absence, and we missed several familiar faces. I1 C 1llOI'lllllg Cl U l'1l1 g our vacation the sad news had been flashed to us of the death of one of the most popu- lar members of our Faculty. And a few days before our return to school we met to pay our last tribute of respect 13 to Professor Ylfarren H. Detwiler. His death was a shock to us, and as we gazed upon him for the last time, we felt that we had lost a true and noble friend. And yet again were we called upon to mourn the death of a friend, this time our classmate, XfVilliam Logan Fisher Wfright, and for a time the joy of our reunion with old acquaintances was clouded with regret for those who had passed away. A This last year was indeed one never to be forgotten. New studies, new duties and new pleasures occupied our minds, crowding each other in such rapid succession that we hardly knew where one stopped and another commenced. Much attention was given to the foot ball team, and many an exciting time we had at games. Rushes. compared to which the charge of the Rough Riders up San Juan Hill sinks to a mere pillow f1ght,f1e1-ce struggles for our antagonists Hags, rousing cheering and hoarse bellowing that was intended for singing-all these combined to add zest! to a foot ball game. i ' 'iii ii Wfe always look forward to the game with C.

You have noticed that when a stone is thrown into the water there is a splash, and presently the surface of the water resumes its wonted tranquility, and the stream runs on smoothly as before. Wfell, it wasn't long before things at N. HECK E. had readjusted themselves, and all was good. About this time we took up the study of Chemistry under the guidance of Prof. Firmin. That is, we went to the Chemical Laboratory, but what we dir! 19 1 1 1 - gi g , 4 4. f OUR ATI'ILE'I'lC FI RMIN there is another question. Mr. Firmin is a hue man. VVhy? Because he acknowledges that he likes study, and chemistry in particular, even less than we do. He informed us that he didn't know a thing about chemistry until after he left college, and the question has been asked, 'ildfqhere did he get the gall to say that he learned anything then FU I-Ie does like athletics, though, was water carrier for some class foot ball team. I believe, and if you can get him started talking foot ball you are safe for that period, for the thought of the lesson will never enter his head at all at all. His laboratory was the picnic ground of the whole school. Poor man. I am afraid we made life miserable for him. Wfhat with put- ting limburger cheese on the radiator, swiping his rule, locking him out of the room and breaking test tubes, he had to hustle to keep up with the show. Another favorite pastime was for the whole class to jump up and down in perfect unison, with the result that Strad. In the room below thought that the ceiling was falling. Mr. Firmin has a very unique system of grading us. He has a cardboard disk marked oi? into four divisions, D, G, P. and N. A little needle is balanced over this and it is spun around. If it stops at a G, that is our mark for the term: if at N, the same. It is the fairest way, for then every boy in the class has an equal show and there is no chance to show favoritism. So far I have neglected to mention Professor Moyer, our trig. teacher. I-Ie is the man who says he will not recommend a boy to hll a responsible position who sharpens a pencil in his room. I'Ie also thinks himself quite a wit, and if cracking old worn-out pointless jokes without number makes a man a wit, then Prof. Moyer most certainly is one. .-.,.:.. , H ..w.ev ' , lil I III xx , I f' ,xlixxx I I ,,,. , , ,.

MOYER Wfhen the Mary and Ann problem came out he endeavored to solve it, and informed us that it was no problem at all, and that the age of Ann was x, an unknowable quantity. During the last year of course we had charge of the publication of the school paper, f'The Archive. The immediate publication was in the hands of a band of desperadoes, who dignified themselves by the name of The Archive Stan? Miller was Editor-in-Chief of the paper, but it is a well established fact that Conyers Button Graham was the power behind the throne. I-Iis timely suggestions and pointed criticisms made him an inval- uable personage. Ask him. These culprits held out in a little closet tucked away up on the roof. It was from this den of thieves that they would sally forth on errands of desperation, terrorizing the entire school, it was from the window of this 2 0 I hot-bed of mischief that paper bags filled with water were dropped upon the heads of unoffending pedestrians in the street below: it was here that one fresh member was made to chew a cake of soap and another received a bath in a bottle of ink-in short, if there was anything savoring of torture. mischief or fun abroad in the air, it could always be traced to The Archive office. At least that's what Andy said. To recount all the episodes that occurred during the year: to tell how many of our number achieved fame and notoriety. would occupy more space than is here allowed. How red pepper was turned loose in the Dutch- man's room, causing every one to sneeze his nose off: how toy balloons were liberated in the front chapel, how electric light globes were slipped into fellows' pockets, which upon being struck with a book exploded with a sound like a cannon cracker: and a thousand and one other pranks of a like nature. How Horn became celebrated for his chapel address on Hairy Beeff' Maurer for his attempt to dabble in yellow journalism: Ovington for his magnihcent poetry: Miller for his niatchless gall, and ability to get into trouble: Greasly, Rumig, W7 McCann, together with a select group of like dignitaries, for their angling exploits, when they succeeded in landing a large number of suckers at the butt end of the pole: Sammy Eletcher, for his eHorts to run Northeast on a Fletcherite basis, also for his endeavors to persuade the class to adopt for its guidance a policy known as Fletcherism. How XfVess Brown demonstrated that the Class Benefits and Class Play were financial successes by appearing in a new suit shortly after having lost some of the tickets for those functions. About this time it was decided that it was time for N. E. to fall in line with the march of progress, to keep up with the other schools in the matter of social functions: and accordingly it was determined to give a play and dance. An all star cast, consisting of Malcolm Edward Miller, Howard T. Knapp, Norman Ovington, Samuel Fletcher, Robert Lehman, Conrad Maurer, Miss Lillian Crosier, Miss Anna Fletcher, Miss Elizabeth Knapp and Miss Rial R. Taylor, were chosen, and under the able coaching of Prof. Charles C. Heyl, the comedy Our boys was presented at the New Mercantile Hall. Everything went off line and dandy. And how could it have been otherwise, inspired and encouraged, as we were, by the enthusiastic support given the entire movement by both instructors and students, both of whom stood manfully by us, giving their moral support and material aid? lt is no wonder that it was a big success. XfVas the audience appreciative? Wfell, rather. XVhen the curtain descended upon the final spasm, most' of us found ourselves possessed with enough vegetables with which to start light housekeeping. Soon after the play was over, and before any of those who had it in charge had a chance to blossom out in a new suit, Mr. Robb announced his intention of taking a select group on a three days' cruise to thc National Capital. At once there was a great rush for ringside seats, and on the 21st of April the party started. They were 21 given a private car, Mr. Robb said, not so much for our benefit as for that of the other passengers. The three days in XfX'ashington were quickly gone, and almost before, we had gotten over the feeling of importance which shaking hands with Teddy Roosevelt had given us it was time to turn home. Did we have fun? just ask the proprietor of the hotel at which we stopped. After this every one was busy hustling around to remove conditions or trying to prevent getting them so that there was little time left for anything else. Thus our history nears its end. Yes, the history of the Class of 1904 is all but hnished. Yet a little while and our life here will be ended. A new Senior Class is coming up to take the place so shortly to be vacated by us, while we must pass out into the world to fight the stern battle of life as best we may. For three years we have associated here at Northeast: for three years we have worked side by side, sharing common hardships, bearing common burdens. ln that time we have come to understand, to sympathize with each other, to feel that our classmates form an integral part of our existence. In that time we have become bound into one compact, sympathetic body by the bonds of constant association and friendship. But now, just as we begin to really know each other, we must part. Wie have reached the point where eventually all trails must end, the parting of the ways. W'e stand at the cross roads for a moment, our farewells are said, and we plunge for- ward, each on his own separate path. From now on our paths diverge, from now on we will grow apart more and more, until in a little while we will have lost sight of one another completely. But no matter how widely divergent our paths may become, no matter how completely we may lose sight of our old companions, yet we will still have Memory for our friend, and he is a friend who will never 'fail us. In after years, even though we may be weighted down by cares and troubles, yet by summoning memory to our aid we can escape the cares of the present and lose ourselves among the joys of the past. Memory will call up to us familiar faces long forgotten, and enable us to live over with him once more the three rich, full, golden years of joy and happiness spent at Old Northeast.

'Ne pass along. and enter soon a grim, mysterious lair, Full of dangerous contraptions. Dr. Stradling reigneth there.

So you see he's weak and sickly, for, you know, it takes his strength just to try to make that whisker grow to any decent length. From hairless youth we now will pass to Very hairy men, So let us now, in fancy, visit Mr. Fords grim den. You'll notice first, as round the walls you turn your wandering gaze, Some geometric drawings which we made in Freshmen days: Some people think these things are charms, or magic dark and weird, But really they're just photographs of Doc Lycurgus! beard.

But just think. He runs the Glee Club, leads the Dutch band, teaches Tries to prove to them that study's not a weariness to flesh, And his cranium swells so quickly, he's kept busy changing hats, So is it any wonder that his belfry's full of bats? The next one of this company is Johnnie Wlildemore, XVho succeeded Dickey Mich in holding down the office floor. He did the only crazy thing that Dickey never tried, By trotting to the altar to receive a blushing bride. The next office boy was Chorlton, whom wherever I may go, I'll remember as the picture of unutterable woe. One day a feeble smile upon his features was discerned, And the next day was the morning on which Baltimore was burned. Last, largest, and longest of thc office boy brigade, VVas Brachold, he who speaketh like a distant cannonade. His voice is distant, there can be no doubt upon that score, For our darling Henry's talker is some ten feet from the floor.

There is Wfoods, the undertaker, with his sad and solemn face, And our dear friend Sammy Wfexler, the embodiment of grace. Let the people talk of bygone days and classes that were then, Did they have any heroes to compete with our great men? Did they have any warriors like Brummy or like Dill? Did any one but Fletcher ever speak with Fletchers trill? Did you ever see as fine a child as Baby Gouldy there? Did you ever see a shade of red like that in I-Iorner's hair?

To most of us, however, the rest on our pillows is merely for form's sake, and we only doze and dream and think and Oh! the entanglements of perpetual thought. It seems years since I slept well, but what of that? No one sleeps well now-a- days, and as my tired eyelids refuse to perform their mission, I, like the rest, Think, Think, Think. But what of thoughts? Ah! They are busy with my classmates. VVe are about to pass out of school life into 1ife's school. And the future. infill I be able to foretell its successes and failures? But why speak of failure? Only success can attend the members of the Class of 1904. ' As I thus meditate I am conscious of a heavy whirring sound. It seems as though a mighty propeller is forging a great ocean Vessel to its port of destination. As I rush to the window to investigate the cause of this unusual sound, my eyes are almost blinded by an intense Hash of light which illuminates my room and which seems to pro- ceed from a great searchlight. As I peer through the semi-darkness, I discern the outline of a mighty airship that has anchored in the trees surrounding my home. A smaller vessel, cigar-shaped and resembling a huge shuttle, has left the side of the ship and is descending rapidly to ward me. In a few minutes it reaches my window, and a voice exclaims: I-Iasten, G Prophet! Wfe are to journey into the year 11130. Embark, and thou wilt find those with whom thy thoughts 'have held conversef' As I step into the shuttle-shaped car, my conductor smiles and says 2, You don't know me. I am Serguson -authority on shuttles, and this is my patented auto-shuttle car, warranted to weave more highly colored fan-- cies in the brain of him that rides in it than anything flying through space. 30 Reaching the ship, I was conducted to a state-room. As it was only a few hours until daylight, I threw my- self upon the bed and wondered who the Captain of this great ship could be. I was soon to be enlightened. A knock sounded on the door and my guide of the night before appeared to conduct me to him. My surprise can be imagined when I recognized Lockhart, who informed me that he was captain, owner and navigator of the ves- sel and known as the Aerostatic Sportsman, although the ship was invented by Francis XVirth. Desiring to know what power propelled the ship,he informed me that it was the I-Iot Air generators, de- signed and built by Herst and Horn. who,-after many years of verbal efforts, had at last produced something practical. . I-Ie also told me that the unusual Flash of light sent into my room was procured by radium, now used ek- tensively for light and especially for heating purposes, the latter feature being a discovery of George Kays, who had experimented with it for Cold Feet. 'fThat is a very nne school building, I remarked. Yes, that is the Leon Scott Semi-Preparatory Institute, conducted by a corps of former brilliant students, Wfeldie, Xlfeinman, Soulas, Wiilcox, Cairns and Forney. They have evolved a remarkable system, I-Iow not to study or proving the whichness of the what. Noticing an immense factory, I learned that a substitute for soap was manufactured there. Believing soap unhealthy, the firm of XNeiss, Kimmelman, lfVexlar 81 Epstein had refused to use it, but the inexorable require- ments of nature had demanded a substitute. So after much experimenting and mental anxiety, they had pat- ented 'Dirtof' and were making a fortune. That great building you see over there is the home of the Cerebro Dynamic Expositor, the greatest daily newspaper in the country. The owner is Bertram, and the editor was once a lightning talker, but was persuaded by friends to write instead of talk, so Vandegrift editorials are quoted far and wide. They also have two very clever short-story writers, whose 710771 dv f1!111110s are U. R. Daffy and S. O. Ami. You no doubt recognized them as Clofme and Maurer.

My further perusal of the paper was interrupted by my friends saying, The Great Republican Convention is being held in XVashing'ton, and if you desire, we will stop there. Acquiescing in this, We steered in that direction. My attention was called to a hne building, and l was informed that it had been erected by XVarren E.

Senator Rossiter moved that the seats of Senators Horace McCann, lValter Miller and Raymond Moore be declared vacant, because of their violation of custom and traditions, thereby forfeiting the confidence of their colleagues, and that their constituents be notified of this fact. Senator Levin, receivingrecognition from the presiding ofhcer, proceeded to an impassioned speech, and moved that the United States recognize the independence of the natives of Hog Island. This was nothing new, for he always was a fanatic on such lines. i Leaving the Senate Chamber, we went over to the Congressional Library. The librarian proved to be Frank Le Noir. Asking for the titles of standard books, he mentioned the following, and stated that Con- gress had recently purchased copies for the Library: It, or the Ethics of Conceitf' compiled by Spruance and Fisher: The Dictionary of Unpronouncable XVo1'ds, by John C.

Garman and Garvin. just before leaving, we were informed that we could purchase any of these books from the United States Special ,Book Agent, Leon Stern. Leaving the library, we strolled into the business section of llfashington. My attention was attracted to the sign of the Three Golden Balls, and the proprietor's name was Max Marovitz. Further on T saw a number of very spectacular posters, and they were the work of Simon, Plough K Co., advertising agents and bill posters. Right next to these was a large gayly-colored sign, Drink Schmalzried's Beer, the beer that made old Fishtown famous. Passing a gents' furnishing store, I noticed a special sale advertisement of collars, Use the High Ball Collar, to act as a check rein, and the wearer becomes a high stepper, patented by George Bradbury. Seeing 34 an attractive barber shop. I was induced to enter and have my hair ctit. After the proprietor had nnished his task, the peculiar way in which he brushed my hair led me to recognize him as Ernest Nowack. After leaving the barber shop, I observed a large sign, Painters and External Decorators Corporation, com- posed of the following members: P1'csz'dc'11r, Conyers Button Grahamg Ifvlltl'-Pl'C.Y1iCfC'IIf, Malcolm Edward Miller: Scr1'r'frz1'y, Howard T.

He had the airland smile of the Confidence or Bunco Man, and at once we recognized him as Gobl:o Lehman. AI-Iearing the sound of music, we moved along with the crowd toward Pennsylvania avenue, and witnessed the arrival of the Pumpkinville delegation to the Republican National Convention. As the leader of the band, I recognized F. S. Fluck, and the leading cornetist, Alfred Del Rossi. Conspicuous in the delegation was Mayor Zeke Felton, Slzcriff Archie Root, Dvfvzzfy .5'lzr1'z'ff Billy Farrel and the following political ward leaders: Victor Abel, Sufi.

Having been fortunate in securing seats, we proceeded to Convention Hall. Among the delegates I noticed a large number of well-groomed men in frock coats, grey trousers and silk hats, wearing badges of red and black, and seated in different parts of the hall, under political banners of a similar character. As the time ap- proached for the nomination, there was a great display of enthusiasm from these delegates. A delegate seated on the platform. whom I was told was Congressman Qtt, of Cross Fork vlunction, in a brilliant speech, placed in nomination the name of james Smith, of Big Flats, for President. Instantly there was an uproar, and I heard all over the hall a campaign cry of Wfiff, Wfack, Red and Black, I yell, Man-u-al, Sis-Igioom-Rah. Smith, Smith, Smith. This cry was like the smell of powder to an old war horse, and my senses were at once keenly alert. Scanning these delegates, I discerned the following, who had risen to positions of political and commer- cial inliuence in their respective communities. Representing the money loan interests were Strousse, Schocne- .vs .JD man, Unterberger and Rosenbluth, while the less important interests were represented by Arthur Lowe, john Harvey, Charles Robertson, Harry Wfrigley, Arthur Reed and Charles Shoemaker. Leaving the Convention Halljwe started back to the Capitol. A veterinary ambulance passed us, and the sign on the side read: The lglrumbaugh Veterinary Hospital. Howard Brumbaugh, Proprietor and Specialist in D. O. A. QDiseases of Animalsjf' Hardly had this passed, when a police patrol dashed to the district court, which was close by. A spectator informed me that one of the prisoners was known as Carson, the pool room shark, and the other Truitt, the noted crook. Xlfishing to know how justice was meted out to criminals, T entered the court, and in the case then being tried, recognized a number of faces. The Judge was Robert Thomasg the Clerk of the Court, Henry Bloodg the Tipstave, Frank Myers, and the Policeman, Harry Scott. There were three prisoners up for trial, Miller, Con. Cwraham and Knapp. I learned that this was their seventeenth arrest since October gd, 1903. They were charged with maliciously destroying poles and stealing wire from the Wfilbraham, Rumig International Non-Resistance Wfireless Telegraph and Cable Company, of Xyashington and Paris. Also for dynamiting the tracks of the Trans-Continental Air Line. The prisoners bluffed the court so successfully that judge Thomas declared that the charges could not be substantiated, so the hardened criminals were once more freed. Hurrying out of the court room, we soon reached the Capitol, proceeded to the dome, embarked in the air ship and sailed for other points. In a few minutes a heavy mist surrounded us, the outlines of the ship were obscured. T was unable to see. 'Wie were sailing in such a high altitude that my breath came in gasps.

' This, however, we can declare truthfully and earnestly. That all the preceding classes have never contributed so largely, nor have they attained such feats as ours. Our athletes of '04, in every year of their school life, were the principal means of obtaining the enviable record which Northeast has earned. ootball Season 1 901 ln IQOI we started them well. Of course we were fresh then, and enjoyed the sports to the fullest extent Cin loud yellingj. You know the universal opinion of these silly, little lunatics. XN'ell. we were no exception. W'e were declared reputable Ionahs, to say nothing of the other phrases. However, that year Northeast won the inter-scholastic championship, even though four Ionahs were on the team. 33 FOOT BA LL T EA Nl W.

Brown, Allmlagrv Dobson Felton Brumbaugh Dill Longaker Umholtz Jennings And this is how they did it: High School defeated us by the score of 6 to 5. The kicking of a goal decided this game. Then we played Central Manual and won from them by the score of 5 to o. The latter in turn defeated C. H. S. by II to 5. Thus in our two games, we had 6 points scored against us, while C. M. T. S and C. H. S. had IO and I6 points against them, respectively. ft certainly gave us the undisputed champoinship of scholastic foot ball, and we had cause to feel proud of it. Season 1902 This year we had every hope and apparently every chance for a repetition of the same feat of the season of 1901. However, we came off with victories from only Camden High, Cheltenham Mil. Acad. and a defeat from Central High, with the two tie games of Chester High and Central Manual. Season 1903 All seniors out for the team, was the cry this year. All seniors made it, with the exception of two. The season started with a rush, several of the teams falling before our large scores. Before the season was half completed, we had scored seventy-three,points on our opponents, when they had failed to tally one. Gur Hrst game was with Penn Charter. Here we absolutely astounded the inter-scholastic athletic world by defeating them II to o. This was a feat that never before had been accomplishedby Northeast. The good work of Dill, Longaker and Brumbaugh was chiefly responsible for it. Our light, but exceedingly quick and tricky team thrust the hope in us that we could defeat C. H. S. On Qctober 23 the game occurred, and though we came OH second best, it was by no means with any degree of shame. Qui' fellows made High work for their touchdown, and had not an unfortunate fumble occurred when Northeast had the ball on the 3-yard line, we should have tied the score. Our game with C. M. was lost by overconhdence, Central only scoring by a goal kicked from field. lfVe ended the season by defeating the strong Swarthmore eleven, I7 to 6. Resulting scores: , N.

Qu the whole, the team did not have a very successful season, finishing fifth in a league of seven teams. However, they had the satisfaction of knowing that they tried and also that of capturing the goal throwing contest, which closed the season, by Hyland. Results of a few games played: N. E.

Wfith Dill, Brumbaugh and Terzi were some new men, namely: Archibald, Levene, Fisher and Pearce, all of whom made the team. XVe were entered in the regular Interscholastic League, and the fellows played a good, fast game. Through some unfortunate means, C. H. S. again beat us because of the lack of weight. But we had the distinct honor of being the only team in the League to defeat the League champions-La Salle. It was the closest and one of the fiercest of any contest waged in St. James' Hall, and sorely did La Salle feel it. Season 1903-04 All the men of our past season returned, and there was only one vacancy caused by graduation. This was soon filled, and N. E. started out for championship honors. XVe soon rid ourselves of the lazy ones, but struck a snag in Pa. Fresh. This was followed by C. H. S. and R. C. H. S. There was a little too much individual playing on the team. Of course they played well at times, but occasionally one or two would spurt out on a shooting trip. 42 However. we Finished fourth in both the first and second series. The games were more stubbornly con tested and the teams were heavier and hetter in every way. :Xt the close ofthe season Pearce Q'o5j won the goal throwing contest for N I A few of the scores as follows: E.

Four successive victories rewarded our teams e'lTorts. Good out- Helding, excellent infielding and a good twirler helped us to do this.

O I Gl'ICR6lI This sport was something entirely new, and for this reason exceptionally good players had to be developed before they could attempt to cope with the Academic teams, for they are old hands at the business. However, N. E. has put up a fairly good showing in the League. XVe have played matches with Haverford, C. H. S., De- lancey, Drexel and Central Manual. Considering our teams inexperience in the gamer we can say that they gave a fair exhibition. JB wling eam i Tlnterscbolastic Ghanmpions J The Bowling League formed by the various high schools of Philadelphia proved a big success. N. E. had one of the strongest teams in the League. The team was composed of Capt. Weldie.

Gui' victories over tlie other uve schools make rs the lnterscholastic Champions for IQO4. 5 1 ack can The track teams of N. E. Manual have for the past three years raised our stock above par. Wife are greatly handicapped by the absence of a track and gymnasium, but manage to get there just tlte same. Those who were lucky enough to see tlie relays in IQO2 were treated to a beautiful race on the part of our team. The team chosen to represent us on that day consisted of Root, Fox. Sonneborn and Capt. Spielman. with Hallman and Tunnel as substitutes. At the crack of thekpistol. Root, who ran first, sprang into the lead and gradually increased his lead until, at the end of l'is lap, he was fully ten yards ahead of the next man. Fox took it up and until three-quarters of the way around held his leadg but here he gave out and allowed Cheltenhanrs man to pass him, crossing the line I5 yards ahead of him. This lead gave Cheltenham the race, as all Sonneborn and Spielman could possibly do was to keep their distance and come in second. This team won four silver cups. In IQO3 we had a relay team that lacked experience. They were a fast lot, but used poor judgment and landed fourth place in the U. of P. Relay Races. Now for the Relay Team of 1904. NYC are very proud to state that this year we had a winner. The boys trained faithfully and deserved to win. The team was composed of Root, capt.g Cornog, XVeldie and Lynch. with Clarke and Horn as substitutes. fl? G RELAY TEAM Clarke Horn Lynch Root Weldie Cornog Root, who ran the first relay. came in a good second. Cornog then took it up and by gcod running did not lose and ground. NVeldie. who ran the third relay, kept close at the heels of the leader, and when half way around passed into hrst place which he held to the finish. This good work enabled Lynch, our last runner, to keep the lead, and by good sprinting beat the Mackenzie School, the nearest rival, by three yards. The trophies which this team succeeded in winning were four silver cups and a silk banner. Freshmen Year y The athletics of the N. E. Manual Training School were always of the first class. Before the class of 704 arrived they were not so victorious, but this was overbalanced by the pure, clean and manly spirit shown in their games. Wfhen our class was installed, they soon began to make victories, plentiful as well as manly. Qur first step was to organize a Freshman Foot Ball Team. This team defeated Central High Freshies 6 to 0 and the Central Manual Freshies 2 to 0. Thus N. won the Freshmen Foot Ball Championship. In the spring we had a Champion Fresh Base Ball Team, which defeated the Hrst year men of Art and Textile-Central Manual and Central High. The following will show what an active part we took in athletics for a Ii1'SlI year class and the number of regulars we had on each team: Foot Ball, 3 meng Basket Ball, 2 men. Relay Team, 2 meng Base Ball, 4 men. This shows that out of 2Q regular players the Class of 1904. furnished It. unior Year In the second year each class had a base ball team. The Senior Team defeated the Freshmen, and '04 in turn defeated the Seniors. Thus we won the school honors for base ball. Since our arrival at the school the Athletic Association had been run on the donation plan. There were no set dues, but every few days a voluntary collection was taken throughout the school. This became such a regular custom that the teachers and fellows got tired of contributing to the teams. Finally the Class of '04 49 CRICKET TEAM - Gray Vogan Buckman Graham Hirst l-lenkels Walling W. Brown J. Felton Spruance M. Felton J. BYOWD Wllson stepped forward and submitted a new Constitution. This Constitution did away with all collections. A season ticket was sold for 31.00. which admitted the holder to every game of toot ball. basket ball and base ball in which the school participated. This Constitution was accepted and went into effect the beginning of our Senior Year. During the .lunior .year our class furnished the following: Foot ball, 6 men: basket ball, 3 men. Relay team, 3 men: base ball, 6 men. Senior Year Qui' Senior year started off well, so did the new Athletic Association. Out of 800 students we managed to sell 500 A. A. season tickets. Thus starting our linal year in athletics with 53500. Qui' foot ball squad contained 18 men, 141. of which belonged to the Senior Class. The lirst game was with Penn Charter, and they were defeated by the score of II to 0. This was the nrst victory ever scored against this school by Old Northeast. Gui' team was composed of IO Seniors and I Junior, which redects great credit on oui class. - A summary of the '04 men on this yea1 s teams is: Foot Ball, I4 men Csquad ISD.

Baxter, Class of '93, was Northeast editor on the staff of the Argzzs, as the Central Manual paper was then called. For the next two years Vincent B. Brecht, of JQ3. filled this position. Wfith this much valuable experience, the Class of lQ3 ventured to establish a paper all their own. In order to do so a stock company was formed, to consist only of Seniors, with a capital stock of ISO shares, at 31.00 per share. One hundred and twenty-'nve shares were subscribed for, and the 33 membersfof the stock company elected Vincent B. Brecht as President of the company. The class also elected him Editor-in-Chief of the A1'rl1iz'c'. Wfith such a solid foundation the paper of course prospered, and at the end of the year the stock company paid a dividend of 265 per cent., and the paper was turned over to lQ4. The first issue was a modest little sheet, GVLXQEXL, spicy, newsy, and, being a manual training paper, up-to- date. The page was enlarged in IQOI to 7MX1oW, and new features added, but up to this year no issue larger than twenty pages had been attempted. The rcgzzlm' issue thisyear has been twenty pages, and there have been one thirty and several twenty-four-page issues. The cuts and supplement pictures have been better printed than ever before. May the A7'C171.Z.'E'S shadow never grow less in the hands of 'ogl Qburselves as wtbers See Us The Mystical lVarum and His affectionate Madge are two features of this month's issue of the A7'C11'Zii-'L'. R05 Acadmvzztczcf, Oct. 23, ,o3. The Archive contains a very interesting story, entitled His Affectionate Madgef' As the writer. Conrad B. Maurer, has intended, it causes one to think that Madge is a girl, whereas it is only a polo pony, as explained at the end. 'Twas Thus lt Happened is a good account of the Little Tycoonsf' a club of two years' standing, being composed of Northeast and Central Manual Seniors and graduates. The Secretary, however, forgot to say that we gave our customary Wfiff, 'vVaclc! Rnd and Black, November, 'o3. The Arrlfirre has a very attractive cover this week. Dc Lcmcey Weekly, November 30, JO3. 66 The October number of the Arrlzitfc has several good poems. Blizc and Gray, November, log. The Al'ClI1'I'C is especially interesting this year. The Mystical 'Wlarum' is a very good story. llflzitc and Blue, November, log. The October number of the Arrlzitr, of the N. E. Manual Training School, of Philadelphia, is a VVarren H. Detwiler memorial number. Professor Detwiler was one of our alumni in whom we have had much cause for pride. XfVe mourn his loss with them. Aizilzlct, November, 'o3. The ffl'C1lI.Z'C of the Northeast Manual Training School promises fair to be one of our best exchanges this year. Its editorials are all well written, the paper itself is well gotten together, and then, that lean meagre appearance, characteristic in many of our exchanges, is entirely absent in the A1'rlz1'2fU, and their student-body is not so large either. Wle hope its editors will keep up their good start and try to eclipse the eHorts of their last year's staff, which will, by no means, be an easy task. It is with reluctance that we record the vandalism of several students of the Northeast Manual Training School on the night before the foot ball game between that school and Central High. Wle cannot understand the motives which prompted this repulsive actg but that it was neither manly nor brilliant seems to be pretty well admitted by the better element of the students of Northeast. Fortunately for the good name of the latter, the perpetrators ofthe attempt to disfigure our building with paint do not represent the standard of the school, but are far below the average. It is only right that as a school Northeast should be exonerated from any connection with this ruffianism. Wle approve of the action of Prof. Morrison in signifying that the students in question will be expelled from school, but, While we condemn the refusal of the parents of those students to allow them to apologize to our student-body, we hope that when the matter has been finally adjusted, its memory will not mar the friendly relations between the two schools. .llffl.l'7'0l', November, 'o3. The 1fll'C1l'l'Z.'C,f1'O1'11 the N. E. Manual Training School, Philadelphia, is an example of a good. live school paper. Balance Slicer, November, 'o3. The Arclzitfe appears in its usually interesting form. Balance Slicer, December, 'o3. The Thanksgiving Turkey Carver, in the A7'C1IZi'Zf'0, is very amusing. The paper as a whole is very good. Res flrczdzlzzrar. December 4, '03, Wlhat! Never heard of the Arclzitfe? Wlell, neither did we until it arrived last month all the way from Philadelphia, too. Splendid paper. Come again. Dicfzmz Exf, December, 'o3. 67 HA Mountain Ramblen in the Archizfe is Worth reading. Real and Black, December, 'o3. An attractive cover and an article entitled HA Mountain Ramble puts the Al'C!Zli'Z'C among our leading exchanges G!c'a1101', December, 'o3. There is an undercurrent of vigor running throughout the Ardzitfe that makes the paper the most enjoyable reading of our exchanges. Eas1'c1'1zc1', December, 'o3. A Mountain Ramblef, in the A1'cl1iz'e, is a well-written story, and if the author had not given us timely warning, we might have taken it seriously, Academy Sclzolizmz, December, iog. The November AI'CfZ1iZ'U contains a clever and Well-executed editorial, in which the writer, after dwelling at length upon the merits of the drama, requests all his readers to buy tickets for the Senior Class beneht fund, at one of the theatres. PUILIL Clzartw' llffUgC1SlillC', January, 'o4. The Arclzitfe prints a very good story called The Stolen Bacillif' The Whole paper is very Well gotten up. and speaks well for the energy of the editorial staff. Academy Sclzolizmz, january, 'o4. The A1'clziz'c, Philadelphia, Pa., is a neat, Well gotten up publication. Every article in the paper is worth reading by High School students, with the exception of the editorial article on the Revolutionary Wfar. ln our opinion this editorial is a waste of valuable space. Rcfzfzzia, January, '04, VVe are glad to receive such an excellent exchange as the A1'ff1iz,'e, of the Northeast Manual Training School, Phila., Pa. Although we have received but one copy so far this year, we feel sure that we may class it among our best exchanges. P. H. S. Momflzly, February, 'o4. The editorial on Cecil Rhodes in the Arclziftfe for january is a strong one. Balmzrc Sheet, February, 104. The Stolen Bacillif' in the December A7'F1lI.'Z'F, holds the readers attention as thoroughly as a large number of the stories in professional magazinesg but, though the plot is good as far as it goes, at the conclusion the impression of the reader is that he has read a preliminary which should be followed by an action containing the . 6 S climax, especially when is considered the lengthy introduction and the careful description of the abbot. Yet the story is full of interest and exceedingly creditable. The last may also be said of 'RA Master Fowerf' The flrrlziw ........ have said something worth saying. for which we warmly thank them. PC1111 Clzartcf' lTfUg0Sli1IC, February, 'o4. The il7'Cfll.'Z'l' is one of the best papers we have received which have maintained their Christmas excellence in the january issue. The Club Notes are especially good. Rvt'z'riL', February, 'o4. The cover of the january .fl1'r!z1'f r was unusually bright. In fact, we dared not look at it till we put on our - Izzder, February, 'ot green goggles. The .fi1'L'fll'Z'C is a very pleasing paper. Their exchange column and their Personals are very interesting. G1'alL11zcI1', March, 'OJ,.

P. H. S. Mofzflzly, March, 'o,L. In the ,Tanuary number of the A1'r!:1'2'C the first chapter of a story under the appellation of Kismet appeared. The plot seems to consist of the determination of the heroine to have the hero address her by her praenomen. In the perusal of the story we come upon the following thought, so amazing in its profundity: Fishing is more or less monotonors except to the lovers ot that sport, and also the following: But tate! Ah! cruel fate! Wlhy must thou always kill Cupid's flowers when just about to bloom F' Really, Mr. Author, we never suspected that fate was such a villain. We are glad to note that the Al'F!II.'Z'C has an exceptionally strong exchange department. Q ' Brorwz and T'VfIlilLL', Easter, '04. Wfe want to thank the 14I'EfZIi'Z'U,Pllll21ClCl1Dl1lEl,fO1'llI5 kind words. Not as a return compliment, but as an honest criticism, we would like to say that we place the -4l'Cfll.Z'C in the front rank of amateur journalistic efforts. The cover design, the headings of the different departments, and their contents are of high standard. Kodak, Nay, ,O.I.. u1ilS111Cll,H the serial story in the Arclzitic, is very interesting.

Clarke and Simon were very intimate with our japanese friend and took upon themselves the title of charter members, and also the task of putting the others through stunts. lt would be cruel to mention the tricks played on some of the lads, but Knapp didn't seem to mind it. Ask him. I will mention, though, that every fellow, after he was formally admitted into the club, obtained a long red gown and cap, with a black mask. Xvhen these were procured he was allowed to participate in the next ceremony. And he did so, strenu- ously-his reasons you may guess. Knapp' achieved renown in one evening. He jarred us all bpippearing with a wicked-looking vest. a cream-colored article with black plus signs distributed over its wide expanse. Wle greatly objected to this on account of the sweet CU memories it recalled of Doc. Stradling's sweat-box processes. Next, did we have fun? Wlell. ask the milkman. He witnessed the breaking upof many of our gatherings. Also, ask Sammy. His restraining hand often kept that awful bunch out of trouble. A Our club once became divided into twofactions. And it was all about the girls, too. Simon and Haring. two conhrmed women haters, were the teachers of one faction. Fletcher and Bill Carson were the leaders of the other. Sam and Bill are all but girls, anyway. By their persistency, those women haters won out, and the club has always been represented stag. Some members of the club have noted weaknesses. Sonneborn and Hilton, for instance, are the songsters of the crowd. They used to sing just for the asking, but they don't sing now. Wfhy? Because we don't ask them. And there is Clarke. He's from Fox Chase. Ever hear him relate his thrilling exploits on a rat hunt, armed with an axe and a rake? 'Tis truly wonderful. A There are, however, two of us who are ardent supporters of the gentler sex, Chapin and Clowes. Have you ever missed them from class, about two out of every Eve days? X-Ve wonder why. This little conversation was overheard in the basement, 8.55 A. M. Chapin- XfVhat shall we do ? Clowes- NVanamaker's.'' Albrecht and Smith are the two steady members of the club. But Smith was once heard to say that llc cut two whole periods. Oh! shocking! So this leaves only Albrecht, the staid old man of the crowd. Un closing, I will say that. all in all, we're a jolly good crowd and have enjoyed each other's companion- ship, so much so, that we have applied for the renewal of our charter, not for one year, but for nine hundred and ninety-nine. 77 r S. S. S. Ingram Wright Chapin Haring Albrecht Haldeman, P1'CSffYl'l1f Hayllar K Here we are! The S. S. S. XVe do not claim to be thehrst, but we are second on the list of secret organizations of the Class of IQO4, XfYe will claim, however, to have as perfect an organization as that of any in the school. Our organization took place in school, one dav early in Qctober of IQO3, and with the aid of one generous and sincere gentleman of the faculty, we obtained our name and later our fame. lVe formed together to be a social group while in school, and a circle of friends after leaving school. Q4 Now look on our picture and become introduced. ln the centre sits the most noble and honored chief, Spotted Leopard CT-faldemanj. To his right, seated, is Guy de Graver QQ-Xlbrechtj, and to the left of the chief is seated Sid de Granger QI-fayllarj, the Keeper of Deeds and Old Brass. In the rear, starting at the right of the picture, you see Jed the -lewsharper Clngramj, Billy de Bard CXfVrightj, Knick the Knocker CChapinl and Sine de Slinger fHaringj. One of our members not in the picture owing to a misunderstanding, and as he is much beloved among us, it is necessary to mention him. c He is Ponderous Punter QButtonj. T just a view as to what we did when we flocked around to each otherls houses once a month. In Qctober, our first meet was held at Sid de Grangers lowly enclosure. Here we sat before the glowing embers of a log- fire, cracked old jokes and a few old eggs. Most of the boys are strictly temperance, so when they were told to order up what they wanted, they meekly asked for a straight crystalf, The Leopard was a little more brave and called for a dark. Then came a sudden turn, and they ordered all the drinks that they could think of. By quitting time they were all so sober that they said good night and went straight home after giving a loud XWhiH! Wfhacklv A VVe cannot mention minutely each of our meetings, but will describe a few occurrences in connection with each of them. The meeting for November was up in the Alleghenies at the chateau of Guy de Graver. A red light at the door greeted those who attended. Inside, Guy, himself, greeted us. This meeting was composed of a little rough house, some feed and a lfVhiff! lVhack! to help digest the feed. Then we said good nightf' The meeting of the following month was at the castle of Sine de Slinger. Six showed up. ,led the -Tewsharper gave a wonderful show in his rendering of the new song, 'fHand Scrubolio.' Sine and Ponderous engaged them- selves during the repast in playing Noah's Ark with the fruit on the board. Things were lively for a while, but the meeting ended without a serious mishap to anyone. 79 Wfe had almost despaired of ever getting everyone out to a meeting, but the Jaunary meeting at Knick the Knockers did, however, bring them all out. Spotty and Sine de Slinger furnished music such as shall never be heard again. For refreshments a small but weighty matter attracted our attention. It was a chocolate cake and had the letters S. S. S. worked out in nuts on the top. A piece of it broke a plate on which it was accidentally dropped. Ponderous Punter still has a piece of it as a souvenir. He was the limit that night, and was so engrossed in the eatables that poor Kinck did not have much left for lunch at school the next day. In February we met at the Spotted Leopardis residence. Vile were only four. A quiet but very enjoyable evening was passed, and Spotty sent us all home sober. At our March meeting we decided to gather a wandering minstrel into our fold. It was voted that Billy de Bard be accepted into our secrecy. Other important business was attended to at this timeg officers were chosen and occupied their chairs. The last meeting of which we shall be able to tell you came in April. It was at the palace of the Ponderous Punter. That night Billy the Bard was the centre of attention. He learned more on that night than he ever before learned. He's wise now. Qne of the specialties of the evening was another chocolate cake. It had the same symptoms as the one mentioned before, only in a still more compact form. lt must have been made of lead. Ponderous remarked the other day that he had made bullets out of the remainder, and was using them to shoot cats with. This dwelling so much on chocolate cake is not done with the object of making our friends' mouths water, but rather to show them what we have to endure when we go a-visiting. Don't take our remarks as serious, but should you care to know more of our doings, just inquire of a few stars, such as llflars or Jupiter. T Hoping that our friends are better satisfied as to our identity, and thanking them for their kindly interest, on behalf of my fellows, l am sincerely, i SINE DB GRANC-BR, Keeper of the Records and Old Brass. The following beautiful little lyric is the contribution of Billy de Bard. lt represents truthfully the members of that wonderful society, The S. S. S.: Eight handsome young fellows, most beautiful to see, Our aims are all noble, our morals are high, Renowned for our wisdom and valor are we. And so is our motto, ,tis Never say die. Uur fame and our glory have resounded afar, Qur glory is great, may it Devel- bg 1655, And we re equally clauntless in love or in war. So here's to the knights of the bold S. S. S. 30 bi beta at Here is in the history of our doings at Old Northeast a day long to be remembered by us. This is that fated day when the stalwart Phi Theta Psi groped its way to the top among the many other clubs of the school and dehed all the past and took a good mortgage on the future. Wife First met at the house of one Robert Blanclc, our Angel I7ather,', and here was organized our famed club. At this meeting we decided to hold a banquet each year, at which each great member was to put on his prettiest and bring with him one of the fairer sex. The other gatherings are held every third week in our Great Month. XVe have held two annual banquets and hope that we may hold many more in the years to come, after we will have severed our connection with good Old Northeast. The last banquet was held at the home of Laughing Charlie, away out in the depths of that famed little haven of Germantown. Here we enjoyed ourselves immensely, and with the exception of the Roof of the club putting forth in the wrong direction and getting lost in the wilds, everything went along nicely. After spending a most delightful time at playing games, everything suddenly disappeared as if by magic, and we found ourselves all in a whirl and dancing became the theme of the evening. After this we retreated to The Hall of Fame and here enjoyed all the goodies that were set before us. The table was laden with delicacies which we enjoyed exceedingly along with the great hospitality of our host. Finally, after doing full justice in the Hall of Fame, we retired with much thanks and praise to our host. This was our last annual banquet, but since this xwe have held several Great IXlonth meetings. Our next annual banquet will be when we have finally parted from within the walls of that good old haven, lY01'tlzrasf.

WHS seems apparent from our existence of three years. ln this time we have become more widely known than many of the school organizations, not only in schoool circles, but outside ones as well. A club that can boast of 43 engagements in one year is working hard. Various notes appeared in the Archive from time to time, to the effect that the Mandolin Club was asleep, but tar from it: we were hustling all the time, and were well rewarded for our work by the appreciation we received wherever we played. NVe have succeeded in making this year what we intended at the start. The club was organized three years ago by Mr. Coons: the second year saw Mr. Korbau at the head ol itg Mr. Huch led it last year. This year it was under the leadership of Mr. Plough. The present graduating class wishes it the greatest success under Mr. Hull's supervision. Ie ebating Society NE of the most important triumphs of the Class of tgogt in striving to elevate the plane of our school among more classical institutions has been effected through the instrumentality of our debating society. Not only have we clearly demonstrated that the Northeast Manual Training School is capable of holding its own among other schools of its immediate grade, but the debating society has voluntarily taken upon itself the task of obliterating the misunderstanding that the ultimate goal of the N. E. llzl. T. S. is to inculcate a desire on the part of its students for various trades. Wie can truly say, upon retrospection, that its labors in that direction have not been in vain. . 'Wlhen we entered this institution as the Class of root the debating society was yet in its infancy. Through the exertions of Maurice Rose, G. C. Ladner and numerous others, we were enticed into this honorable assembly. As a matter of fact, Freshmen usually desire to make themselves heard, and in a very short time we proved our- selves the stimulus of the society. Our programs were prepared most ably by Mr. Thalheimer, and were such as Io draw Commendation from our faculty. They consisted of prepared and extemporaneous debates, recitations, S3 NIANDOLIN CLUB Weinman Hart Schumaker Hull Miller Parker O. Huck A. Huck A. Griggs Plough, Lmrlcr Coons Kornbau F. Griggs Walker addresses and, in fact, every conceivable opportunity for improving our methods of public speaking was utilized. In consequence, the members showed manifest signs of improvement, not only in delivery, but in composition as well. One of the most brilliant episodes of our Freshman year was a mock trial held a few days before Christmas. judging from the exceedingly large attendance and the vociferous applause, the occasion was a remarkable suc- cess. ln this entertainment, for such it was. the members of the society showed the extent of their training to advantage, and by the manner in which they committed themselves many new members were enrolled. However, the paramount interest which crowned the society with glory was the lnterscholastic Debate, when proud Central High School had to dip her colors to those of Qld Northeast. The battle for intellectual supremacy was waged on the evening of February 23, IQO2, when the Manual delegation, comprising Messrs. Dutton, Ladner and Rose. by energy and boldness, wide range of thoughts and irresistible fire and eloquence, far exceeded the feeble efforts of their rivals. Our junior year was in no respect less eventful than the preceding one. During the early part of our junior career we unanimously changed the name of the Debating Society to that of the Northeast Manual Training School Senate. The new organization proved to be an exceedingly popular one. Applications for representation from the different States became superabundant, thus showing the intense interest taken in the newly organized body by the students. The Senate is governed by the same rules, and the routine gone through is practically the same as that of the honorable body of Qur Country, thus giving the members a general idea of the workings of the U. S. Senate. During the first session of the Senate we received a note from the Central High School, challenging us to a second interscholastic debate. Of course, we could do nothing but accept. VVe were represented by Messrs. Miller, Tour- nier and Remington. The orations on both sides werexremarkable. Colleges could do no better. The argu- ments presented by -the several speakers were concise and to the point. But, alas! we cannot always win. After much deliberation by the judges, and after assuring the speakers that they had covered themselves and their respective schools with much glory, they awarded the decision to High School as having a shade better of the argument. Thus ended our junior career. . Qui' Senior year was not so eventful as were the two preceding ones. VVe continued the meetings of the Senate as usual, but without any extraordinary coincidences. The Class of 1904 has undoubtedly concluded three years more eventful than any other class that has heretofore been graduated from this institution. HORN, '04, 85 The Stewart 85 Steen Co.
