These words have been spoken and Written With pride by thousands of men entering college, entering industry, seeking promotion. You have every right to be proud of the school of which you are a graduate. lt is rich in history and in tradi- tions. lts graduates have done and are do- ing their full share of the World's Work. I hope and believe that your interest in your school and your loyalty to Northeast may grow with the years. Northeast is a part of your life and you are a part of Northeast history.

ROWLAND 1 l I i 1 1 I l in 1 1 1 1 ' I To the Members of the Class of Ianuary, 1937: Tonight, Commencement, marks the end of another phase of your lives, a phase that has been devoted to further prepara- tion for that part which each of you is des- tined to play in life. You have received train- ing, both physical and mental, you have made friends, and you have increased your field of vision. Some of you Will have the advantage of additional preparation, others of you Will immediately seek your place in your chosen field of endeavor. A few of you Will achieve great financial success, others will render notable service to humanity. Many Will fill the vast number of less prominent but vitally important positions. Remember, that no matter how trivial or routine-like your Work may seem, it is indispensable in world affairs and should be done with great thoroughness. Little problems correctly solved eliminate many large problems. Above all be tolerant and humble. A great man realizes his limitations, respects others' opinions, and learns through others' experiences. We are living in a troubled World, a- World that requires great men and some of you are capable of greatness. Go forth, give your best in everything you do, and you need apologize to no one. Sincerely, ' l Ol-IN K WILDEMORE. IT HAS BEEN a pleasure to have had a share in the work of the Ianuary 1937 Class Archive Committee. The Class ought to be proud of the fellows in that group. They worked hard to make it a Class Record of which the school could be proud. They have a fine spirit, the kind of thing that We older Northeasters like. I wish the very best of luck to every fellow in the Class. VINCENT B. BRECHT. To Mr. Brecht 'HE EDITORIAL STAFF of the Ianuary '37 Archive desires to pay a sincere tribute to Mr. Vincent B.

Even if we do not suffer a serious loss from those students who know what the new building will be like in its improvements over the old in both room and facilities, I know there will be some who wish that they were of the Class of 1938 instead of l937, for then the new quarters are expected to be complete. The total number of rooms for the Me- chanical Arts classes will be fifteen. They will include four each of electric, auto and wood shops, two machine shops, and one mechanical laboratory for those majoring in mechanical construction. These rooms will be placed on a level with the old building Cfour stories? and will be at least thirty by sixty feet in size. The new equipment will cost thousands of dollars and will help make Northeast the best equipped school in Philadelphia. There will be an elevator to run from the basement to the roof. In the fourth floor there will be the soundproof music room where Music Teachers Duffield and Washco will preside. Their present domicile will be con- verted into a library to be named, in honor of our principal, Rowland Hall. In each of the new rooms there will be a clock. CWere these not there we could still have Ioe Fara- ghan announce the time every half hour from the public address system centralized in the main office? In addition to this there will be telephones installed in the new rooms and those in the old rooms fixed so that one will no longer receive calls from mysterious strangers who appear to hang up when the receivers are lifted. The old bicycle room or inner courtyard, is being converted into a modern lunch-room to be used in conjunction with the old one. A specially-constructed bicycle room has re- placed the small lunch-room and has its entrance and bicycle ramp on the Eighth Street side of the building. Best of all, they Won't have to change the words of the school song, for the new build- ing will also be faced with granite. All corridors throughout the building will have a glazed tile wainscoting such as is found in many junior high schools. lt will be strictly fireproof, with hollow tile parti- tions throughout. The main structure is to be the Somerset wing which is to have a wire enclosed root playground. THE NEW NORTHEAST IN THE MAKING ' or N SEPTEMBER, 1890, students represent- ing the overflow of students from the Central Manual Training School, were cared for on the first and third floors of the William A. Lee primary school, on Howard Street, below Girard Avenue. When the next semester began in Septem- ber, 1891, shop equipment was installed on the first floor of the school. ln the same monthl, Mr. I. W. Moyer was placed in charge of the annex. ln the following September, Northeast became a separate institution with Dr. C. Hanford Henderson as Principal. After Dr. Hendersorfs Principalship that office was filled by Prof. I. Monroe Willard, who was succeeded by Dr. Andrew I. Morrison. Later an addition, which housed shops and laboratories, was built. ln a short time even two annexes were not sufficient to ac- commodate the great numbers clamoring for entrance, and the present structure was built in 1905. The cornerstone of the present build- ing was laid on Ianuary 8, 1905, by Mayor Weaver, in the presence of a large audience, including the entire student body. The building was dedicated on November 14, 1905, by Woodrow Wilson, at that time President of Princeton University. Dr. Andrew Morrison was principal at the time, and he held his post until his death in 1920. The present auditorium, Morrison Hall, was dedicated to him in the following year. The gymnasium, Shallcross Hall, was dedicated in the same year, in memory of Thomas Shallcross, who had been chairman of the Northeast High School Committee of the Board of Education. Upon the death of Dr. Morrison, Dr. George F. Stradling became Principal. After faith- fully serving Northeast for forty-one years Dr. Stradling quietly passed away on Ianu- ary 24, 1932. His successor was Dr. Theo- dore S. Rowland. ln the fall of 1890, the faculty consisted of six men, of whom the last survivor was Professor George D. Firmin, who retired in Iune, 1936. Shortly after moving to the present build- ing, the faculty and student body raised a large sum of money with which they pur- chased a pipe organ. Later a larger one was purchased and placed in Morrison Hall, but this was destroyed in a disastrous fire in 1935, and since then an excellent modern organ has been installed. Northeast Field was secured only after a hard fought battle against powerful odds. The Archive , a monthly magazine, ap- peared in September, 1892, under the able editorship of Vincent B. Brecht, now Profes- sor of English at Northeast. The Mega- phone appeared in March, 1923, as a mime- ographed sheet, with Stanley H. Lang as editor. The annual Fall Play and Spring Revue have given Northeast a dramatic record sec- ond to none. The first Revue was presented in 1921 and the first Senate Play in 1925. Now that Northeast is to be increased in size by an annex to be finished by Septem- ber, 1937, may it also increase in fame, scholastic and athletic merit, and always maintain at a high pitch, that unconquerable Northeast Spirit.

The fates were propitious and qave us a clear, crisp, moonlit night. When we entered the main ballroom of the Brookline Country Club, which was the scene of the Prom, shaded lights and soft music greeted us. The nip of the outside air was soon forgotten in the warmth and friendly spirit which pervaded the ballroom. The girls were exquisite in their scintillating gowns. To- gether with the young men in evening dress, they made a fine picture as they circled the ballroom and transformed it into kaleidoscopic effects of color and brilliancy. We were honored by the presence of our esteemed Prin- cipal, Dr. Rowland, our hard-working and conscientious class adviser, Mr. Wildemore, and faculty members, Messrs. Smith, Ouigley, ludd, Wooley, Geiges, Krug, Fee, Cohen and Hilton. The choice of Roger Kent's orchestra as the provider of music proved a happy one. They rendered a variety of num- bers frorn the swing to the sweet and slow type. As the couples glided to the haunting strains of the orchestra, a romantic spell seemed to envelop them. lean McCool, bewitchingly beautiful, sang in her usual charming manner. When the Prom was over all felt that they had had an exceptionally enjoyable evening. We feel sure that each Thanksgiving night in the years to come will remind the boys of this happy Thanksgiving night of l936. 20 H O N C R M E N WALTER RODGERS SAMUEL MANN ROBERT PARTRIDGE IEREMIAH CERTAINE ICSEPH FARAGI-IAN 1 IRVING ADLER 3123 W.

S o u s a ORCHESTRA 88 LIFE OF T. A. DALY IOSEPH FARAGHAN HOMAS AUGUSTINE DALY was born in Philadelphia in 1871. He attended the Philadelphia public schools until the time he entered college. While he was a student at Villanova he published some of his verses in the undergraduate magazine. Later he Went to Fordham, and while there he not only wrote for the college monthly, but became its editor. His serious writing career started when in 1891 he became cub reporter on the Philadelphia Record. It was then that he began the making of character verses which brought to his readers the dialect of the Italian-Americans. Before that he had ex- perimented with poems in the negro and Irish dialect. As a newspaper reporter he had become familiar with that section of our city occupied largely by the great Italian population, so that when in 1904, six years after he had given up reporting and had become General Manager of the Catholic Standard and Times, he found a great op- portunity to use his experience as a basis for writing about the lives and characters of the Italian-Americans. Whether in dialect or in literary English, Mr. Daly has always held very definite views on the writing of poetry. He has no great admiration for free verse. For a number of years, he says, I have been going through this country brandishing a literary Shillaleh over the heads of some of the poets I do not like. My particular pest is the free verse writer. This queer school of free verse has been putting out for some years this stuff that looks like poetry-at a distance-the lines are chopped off-but when you get close to it, it is some- thing else. These people tell you that in this day the only thing that counts is the thought: that the rhyme and rhythm are outworn, and that thought is the thing. Then they bury the thought so deep you can't find it. It is certain that both in maintaining his point of view in this respect, and in devot- ing himself to the writing of poetry which appeals to our sense of beauty in form and thought, and which reaches the hearts of all of us, he has performed a real service to American poetry. In 1904 he struck a new note in his Italian Poems in the publication of Mia Carlotta. Prominent in his verse are the Italian girl and the Italian man, with the dominant theme the nobility of the average Italian- American. One of his poems which he per- sonally feels illustrates the Italian's love for the beautiful is The Blossorny Barrow which is based on an actual incident. This poem appears in his volume called Madrigali. True to his Irish ancestors, Tom Daly as he is known to his friends, has a keen sense of humor and is quick to appreciate a joke Whether applied to himself or to another. An anecdote which he relates of his early days illustrates this trait. When I was a young cub reporter I used to carry around a two days' beard. Safety razors hadn't yet been invented, a shave cost fifteen cents and for fifteen cents one could buy something much more delectable than a shave. There was a little lunch coun- ter near our office, where for this sum a fellow could get a good meal. ' ' POEMS BY T. A. DALY SAMUEL BATEIAN ALONG THE WISSAHICKON HE red and gold and silver haze Of early Indian summer days Along the Wissahickon! Dan Cupid, could there ever be A likelier place on land or sea Wherein to plan your Arcady And let your love plots thicken? There earliest stirred the feet ot spring, There summer dreamed on drowsy wing! And auturnn's glories longest cling Along the Wissahickon. On winter nights ghost-music plays tThe bells of long-forgotten sleighsl Along the Wissahickon And many a silver-headed Wight Who drove that pleasant road by night Sighs now tor his old appetite For waffles hot and chicken. And grandmas now, who then were belles! How many a placid bosom swells At thought of love's old charms and spells Along the Wissahickon. You, Gloriana, you who know The word, low spoken long ago, Along the Wissahickon, The word that was the golden key To ope the gates ot Arcady For one man. Come! and walk with me Where sweetest memories quicken, That once again the charms that brood Through all the sylvan solitude May bless the wooer and the wooed- Along the Wissahickon.

ALLEN SAMPSON .AMES RUSSELL LOWELL has contributed the Yankee dialect to American litera- tureg Eugene Field the dialect of child- lorep lames Whitcomb Riley has popularized the Hoosier dialect: Bret Harte has given us the dialect of the California miner, but it was left to Mr. Daly to immortalize the dialect of the lrish-American and Italian-American of our own time. His delineation of these characters is splendid, in them he has shown us the joy and sorrow, the hope and despair, the hu- mor and pathos, the love and hate, which go to make up the everyday lives of thousands of Americans. In musical rhythmic lines the poet accur- ately imitates the speech of the ltalian- Americans, thereby adding a delicate sense of local color. The Irish dialect is clever and witty, reflecting a truly Celtic sense of humor. Through his long years of contributions to the newspapers of Philadelphia, and to various magazines, he has brought distinc- tion to our city. Likewise honors have come to him. Fordham University has conferred upon him the degree of Master of Arts and Doctor of Literature. A. DALY Not only is he loved and appreciated in his own city and his own country, but his fame has extended across the seas. When he visited England and Ireland in 1910 he was received with great enthusiasm. In 1914, Mrs. Katherine Tynan Hinkson, a lead- ing spirit in contemporary Irish literature, delivered a lecture in Dublin on T. A. Daly, The Poet of the Dago. While it is true that Mr. Daly's dialect poetry has brought him contemporary fame, we should not overlook his splendid poems in standard English. A fitting estimate of his own genius as a poet and his worth as a man can be found in the lines of his own poem, His Favorite Poet g after devoting at- tention to the merits of Milton, Shelley, Burns, Blake and Shakespeare, he ends up by writing: Yet not for any one of these Great names that loom above him Would l exchange those qualities That make me fondly love him. I love his living heart that sings And makes my blood flow fastery I love so many little things Of which he is the master. 1 love his ardent joy of life, And, faith-as l'm a sinner- I love his bairns, his home, his wife, His appetite for dinner. My favorite poet? l'll rejoice And tread this old, earth gaily As long as 1 can hear the voice Of-T. A. Daly. Christopher Morley, another Philadelphia poet, writes: 1 once inherited his old roll top desk in the office of the Philadelphia Evening Public Ledger. With that desk per- haps l inherited an inside glimpse of his ardors and indurances. There was a lot of dusty old copy-paper in it, and a large bot- tle of ink, which l remember was oddly labeled Commercial Fluid , ta term which seems to have gone out of use in the ink business? 1 can't believe that Tom used ink from a bottle with that legend. Irish by in- heritance, poet by nature, there is no drop of commercial fluid in his veins. ' ' CLASS HISTORY LOUIS RABBEN OMB DAY, eons in the future, childr will be bidden by their considera elders to have and to hold in the memories some few dates, and foremost W' be-Ianuary, 1933. At that time, four, sho or tedious years ago, as the oint of Vie may hold, the sixty-ninth graduating class Northeast High School was set on the pa to greater glories through the medium Mr. Henry Brachhold's mighty voice. T hundred and eighty-six quaking freshm to this institution. These freshmen were ficially bidden to cease and desist from a form of quaking by their understanding me tors and thus began a journey to whose e we corne today. D f o were welcomed by those stentorian ton s nd Despite admonitions from superior senior the strangeness and novelty of a new for of schooling and a new attitude, soon wo off, and left in its wake a patina of con dence. That first year is reckoned by ma as the beginning of an era of self-relian and understanding. Those two hundred and eight-six men bers, were, in the scale of seniority, th lowest of the low, and upper classmen kept them continually mindful of the fact. Some more gullible were persuaded to purchase seats in the lunchroom, passes to Morrison Hall, and any other little knicknacks which the fertile brains of older and perhaps wiser students could germinate. The case-hard- ened consciences of the higher groups were to the tender and innocent freshmen con- tinual sources of worry and secret wonder. What defense could be offered except the useless one of passive misery which might ignite some spark of humanity in that cold breast. All too often the spark was con- spicuous by its absence. But later a sense of Stoicism prevailed, for soon, very soon, the freshmen would no longer be freshmen, there would be a new crop, and what an infinite variety of innocuous pleasures could be derived therefrom. lt was only a short while more until the hunted became the hunter. And so it came to pass that in Ianuary of nineteen thirty-four the freshman class be- came a sophomore class, and as companions in learning were four hundred and seven former lunior High School boys. The sopho- more class had on its rolls six hundred and ninety-three prospective graduates, and among these selfsame students there was what might be called by some pure idealist, perfect harmony, and by some realist, just harmony. Some few of the tried and true two hundred and eighty-six felt mixed feel- ings of resentment and mild contempt at having by their sides these new boys eager to be plucked and yet untouchable, for it would not be playing the game to treat sophomores like lowly freshmen. At about this time those who had not al- ready done so began to take an active inter- est in clubs and other extra-curricular activi- ties. A great many future maestros, thes- pians, and lights in the world of sport date their humble beginning to their sophomore year. And still we strove onward to attain that peak of nonchalance which would en- able us to converse with perfect sang-froid in the haven of the mighty-the front hall. So passed two years: half the job was clone and we were juniors. Already half- way across the stream the other side was finally a goal within our limited vision. By this time many had dropped out and the class was rapidly being pared down to a small group which had been dragging along with it satellites and lesser beings. Our field of activity was being broadened rapidly, and our scope, our power to visualize, became wider. School history was being made and we were a part of it. Everything was flying thick and fast and no one was spared. Lag- gards became acquainted with several gen- tlemen of the faculty who tried to open in their obdurate and recalcitrant skulls a pas- sage so the light could strike. If the light didn't strike, the heavy hand of enjectrnent did, and there was a departure from our midst. In this year we were permitted to rub shoulders with the near great, when we were admitted to Morrison Hall for our advisory period. There was now at first hand a group with whom we could compete in the selling of tickets for our shows or games, and many and blatant were the remarks hurled to and fro when one group outdid another. Some events were unpleasant. To this day only the culprit knows the source of a series of fires patently started to destroy some of the things most hallowed by tradi- tion. We do not know who started these fires and probably never will, but they are all part of the huge kaleidoscope of events which made up one of the most exciting years in the history of the school. For the first time in Philadelphia, North- east had the honor of being a pioneer in winning a championship in every sport of- fered during the season. Never before has any school done this. Football, soccer, cross- country, to name three most popular, we took them all in our stride. What a day for us, and what a load for the trophy-casel Of course we had by this time become quite accustomed to Coach Terry's success with soccer teams, but to capture all-that was a feat! During the last half of the junior year, we were told to organize ourselves into a politi- cal body. lt was a new and novel experi- ence to most of us to be active participants in a campaign but the white feather never made its appearance even though we were under a deluge of blotters, speeches, and petitions. Our officers were elected and ush- ered into office. The class adviser, Mr. Wildemore, m 9 his appearance on the scene as did ot .er faculty members, aiding us in various cua- pacities. Purely from a desire to emulate our fore- bears and from no real enticement to us we considered the possibility of a dance W Kensington, but the efforts of our mod gay deceivers bore no fruit. th st At last the great day came and we w re rolling along in the fourth year. For t first half of this final lap most of us play a watchful waiting game since we coi., e d ld almost reach out and touch graduation. W' e were already well started on that bane our existence-dues. Y' gottany dues? became the cue for a languid stretch into leaky pocket to bring to light the lone co with an air of bloated plutocracy. of a in The dance with the Kensington damsels was at last held as was a Iunior Prom, at which the handsome class Romeos and otlr er not so handsome shone their brightest. Before the second half of the year, rum of new additions and renovations were c rent. Hope was high that after vacation would return to a completely recondition and enlarged school. In fact, the sch was smaller, as the builders took up mu room. On the opening day of the n rs I- e d ol h W semester Dr. Rowland told us of the difficul- ties we would have to face. There was shortage of lockers, a shortage of space, shortage of light, and a shortage of he All the obstacles were offset however a a t. The only things in abundance were rivetefs. Y our now being the senior class. A studi ennui was easily discernible and here d d there a misplaced eyebrow. They took the place of placards announcing our new dignity. What busy days! With photographs, plans for the prom, dues, such minor things as studies, and numerous worries, leisure time was cut to almost half a day instead of the usual three-quarters. The only cham- pionships brought in were soccer and count- ing sheep in classes. Mr. Terry established a world's record with twelve consecutive soccer championships. This last term we have had no Senate play because of the alterations to the building. To the prospective actors this might be a boon since high averages entail time. The senior prom was the great social event of the four years of school life. Many a lad removed his shoes as he brought in the milk the next morning. It was very Well attended and the enthusiasm evidenced made it a huge success. Thus we have been strained through the sieve of education and of the original six hundred and ninety-three there are left only two hundred and seventy-five. Somewhere along the road four hundred and eighteen boys parted from us. We who are left are now young men, going out into the World which will receive us with no Wide open arms. We must make our own way and four years here have shown us how. A few, perhaps many, have reached their limit. Those who go on will have as a background and foundation four years of training for life in an institution which has flourished despite the bitter blasts of time. We are grateful, we of the sixty-ninth grad- uating class, to our hallowed Alma Mater. CLASS POEM ROBERT W. MacF1-XRLANE HILE Red and Black waves proudly ln the reaches of the sky, We find that we must now depart And bid a fond Goodbye! For now, as we approach the end Of a too brief sojourn here, Our happy thoughts of parting May be mingled with a tear. Forward lies an open world: Achievements yet undone, Fields which must be conquered, Fights which must be won. But still our thoughts in retrospect Turn back and glimpse at last Mem'ries of our Northeast days Whose golden hours have passed. We came from many places, Some near and some afar To study and to follow Ambition's guiding star. The hours of Spring we spent here Friends and comrades all, Are seeds for richer harvest To be gathered in the Fall. The teachings, too, will linger 'Til our voices all are stilled And after life's dim sunset We find our task fulfilled, For each one in his own way Will do that which he can To pass another milestone ln the upward march of man. So this must be the ending And we, with much regret, Must leave for others to repeat The life which we have met. For while we cannot feel sad, We still can breathe a sigh While Red and Black waves proudly ln the reaches of the sky. A CLASS SENATORS CHEERLEADERS SCHCDOL BAND OUR CHEERLEADERS ' 1 ASSEMBLIES NE of the many unique distinctions f Northeast High School, is its wonde - ful assemblies. The purpose of thes assemblies is to present to the students, thos persons who have become successes in the several lines of endeavor, and by doing s , to inspire the students to similar achiev - ments. The assembly programs have bee graced, not only by prominent Philadel- phians and Americans alone, but also by persons of international fame. The experi- ence of listening to and seeing such conterr- poraries has been a privilege and inspiration to the entire student body. They have, by their speeches and renditions, opened our eyes to the success that may be achieved if we apply ourselves to our special talen and form an ambition within ourselves t emulate the great. We have been honored by celebriti since 1905, when the present assembly sy - tem was adopted. Over six hundred gues have honored the school with their presen in the thirty-one years of assemblies. Du - ing our four years, the list of our delightf l entertainers include the names of: Lawren Tibbett, America's greatest dramatic singe 5 Nelson Eddy, Philadelphia's own contrib - tion to the musical world, Sascha lacobino , a vivacious personality who has thrilled s all with his rendition of Ave Maria 7 Madame Sigrid Onegin, world famous D - ish soprano: Iohn Charles Thomas, belov American baritone, Lucreza Bori, Giovan i Martinelli, Dusolina Giannini, and Marion Anderson, all internationally famous opera stars, who have captivated us all with their musical renditions. The widely divergent fields of worldly vo- cations have been represented by Count Eric von Luckner, German naval commander and adventurer, Albert Einstein, the world's foremost physicist: Frank Speaight, noted Dickens and Shakespearian actor, I. Edgar Hoover, head G Manny Dr. George E. Haiguel, noted lecturer, and voted the best speaker ever to come to Northeastg Captain Eddie Rickenbacker, best known of Amer- ica's World War flying aces: Dr. William Lyon Phelps, noted literary critic and col- umnist: Peter Freuchen, the world's greatest authority on the Eskimo, the Reverend Ross Stover, famous author and pulpit oratory William A. Schnader, former Attorney Gen- eral and prominent Philadelphianp lan Hun- ter, well known English actor: and last but probably one of the most important was the short visit of Hirosi Saito, Iapanese ambas- sador, who left a friendly feeling with every- one upon leaving. In the athletic world Northeast has been especially favored by the visits of such sport luminaries as William Big Bill Tilden, greatest tennis star of all time, Barney Ber- linger, winner of the Sullivan trophy sym- bolic of the outstanding athletic accomplish- ment in the United States: George Herman Babe Ruth, home-run king and beloved figure of the diamond: Gordon Mickey Cochrane, famous catcher and spark plug of the Detroit Tigers p Charles Chuck Klein: Bill Terry, Lefty Grove, and Iimmy Foxx, all of baseball fame: Harry Stuldreher, member of the famous Four Horsemen of Notre Dame and present football coach at Wisconsin University: and Gene Venzke, Penn's famous miler and holder of the world's record for the indoor i500 meter run. Morton I. Schwartz, noted publicity direc- tor, has said that, Northeast's assemblies are the talk of the publicity and theatrical world, for your guests are the most promi- nent and successful people in the world. DRAMATICS NORTHEAST REVUE N MARCH, 1922, the Senate of the North- east High School put it up to the North- east boys to make the first Northeast Sen- ate Revue a success. The posters then cir- culated substantiated a rumor that Northeast was about to embark on a yearly dramatic, or rather vaudeville, venture. This was quite an innovation for the high schools of Philadelphia and the contagion spread from the students to their parents and friends, and the first Revue was a huge success. The first few Revues were not directed as they are today, but each instructor who thought he had a good act would work it out, and then submit it to the Revue Committee. Yet it is quite evident that this material had to be co-ordinated, and this job fell to Mr. Weills, who has labored earnestly for North- east as director of Revues and Senate Plays. Although Mr. Michener is no longer with us his name is worthy of mention. He was the original director of music and his retirement at the end of only four Revues filled all of the students with regret. This department has long since passed into the capable hands of Instructors Duffield and Washco. Some of the original acts were the Flora- dora Sextette Know replaced by the Dionne Quintuplettesl, Minstrels, and the Old School Comedy tboth now extinct? and the dances and acrobatic performances which are still two important additions to our shows. There was that piece-de-resistance of comedy, the Two-Man Horse tone end never knew what the other was going to do or in which direc- tion is was going to do itl. lf you can picture Mr. Terry Ccoach of our championship soc- cer teamsl, as a female impersonator, you have another of the acts. One spectacular act was the Dancing Dolls who were made up by one of the girls from Van Horn and Son, which company now supplies our cos- tumes. lt was a masterly job and one which should have earned her a berth on any of the Hollywood make-up staffs. Apropos of costumes, ours were loaned to us by the old Walnut Street Theatre. The latter was also the source of our scenery in the early plays. lt was only recently, that the stage ob- tained its banks of multi-colored lamps which enhance the scenery and make for such a colorful finale. One of the schemes for ac- complishing this in times past was as follows. Near the end of each show, assistants would be sent up into the lofts, well armed with rolls of tinted tissue paper. When the per- formers were lined up on the stage, and the orchestra just finishing the final chords of the finale, these boys would shower the stage and barrage the audience with their multi- colored confetti. SENATE PLAYS ln l925 it was thought advisable to give another presentation in the fall for the bene- fit of the graduating class of February. lt was decided that the Revue had been too successful for duplication and that a wholly dramatic presentation in the form of a play should be given. As both of these productions were then, as now, under the direction of Mr. Weills, it was to be expected that they should give each other a hard battle for first place in sales and popularity. The first play, Captain Applejack, proved a great triumph, and then came in rapid succession many others, including two of Shakespeare's. The Revues and the Senate Plays have given rise to two clubs concerned with the stage and its management. They are. the Theatrical-Electric and the Stagecraft Clubs. The Sketch Club also assists through the painting of scenery. Such talented artists as Samuel Batejan, Ioseph Faraghan, Prank Helinek, and Theo- dore Ricker will be greatly missed by Mr. Weills, NEW SECOND FLOOR HALLWAY ln conjunction with the new building program, the first and second floor hallways were widened, and the shops made over into classrooms. The sec- ond floor hallway is the one place in the school where fel- lows can cut traffic to their hearts' content. AROUNI LION Through freezing nights they keep their unblinking vigil! Under the blazing sun they stand their endless watch! 'Mid driving rain, snow, sleet, and hail they guard the portals of our school! But Leo l, with tail confides that Leo ll, without, is very, very inefficient. In fact, says Leo I, he has been lying down on the job for thirty years now. PHYSICS LAB The bane of many, the de- light of few: the Physics lab is dominated by Messrs. Young, lohnson, and Bradbury. Many shocking experiments are per- formed here to prove beyond a doubt that electricity is all that the profs say it is and that every Englishman's house is his ohm! THE SCHOOL TROPHY CASE Within this oak and glass case are contained the thirty odd championship trophies ac- cumulated by Northeast teams since 1914. lt is said that on dark and moonless nights, the ghosts of the members of these teams unite once more to lament over the coming genera- tion, which can Win but five championships in one year. FRONT HALL For many years our front hall was the favorite lounging place of seniors. But since our Traf- fic Squad has been revised under Mr. Doane, nary a stu- dent can be seen there between periods. Recent improvements to our front hall include the fine stained glass Windows and a nice new coat of paint. MORRISON HALL A part of the school of which all Northeasters are justly proud, Morrison Hall, with its fine organ and modern stage equipment, is looked upon with envy by many other schools. lt is here that the famous North- east assemblies are held, and many are the famous person- ages who have trod upon its spacious stage. THE SENATE E HAVE just reason to be proud our Senate, as it was the fi democratic student-government bo formed in any Philadelphia Public Hi School. Organized in l905, it was a pion in the student participation in school gove ment movement in the United States. The object of the Senate is to provide means by which the students can voice th opinions on matters of general student int est and control the legislation relative their interests. lt consists of one Senator and one Alt nate elected from each section and fifte members of the faculty, of which five elected by the student members of the S ate, five are elected by the faculty, and fi are appointed by the Principal. The offic are held by both members of the Facu and members of the student body. The fices of Chairman, Treasurer, and Audi are held by faculty members, while s t st Y h I' a ir r- o I-- 1'1 9 G S Y f. I' u- dents hold the offices of Vice-Chairman amd Secretary. A few of the recent Chairmen of the S ate have been: Mr. Michener, now Princi n- l of the Harding Iunior High School: Mr. Ste- venson, head of our Mathematics Dep ment: Mr. Krewson, head of the Mecha t- .1C Arts Department, Mr. Pennypacker, of tfne Mathematics Department: while the pres chairman is Mr. Fitzgerald, popular Engli Professor. The student Senators are chosen by th advisory group in February and Septem of each school year. Meetings are h three times each school term to meet the si ations which arise. Regularly the meetin fall on the first, third, and fourth months nt h ir er ld u- QS of the school term, but special sessions may be called by the chairman. All squads ftraffic, lunchroom, gardTn, sanitation, and othersl, clubs, Senate Pla fs, school elections, Senate Awards, athletic tivities and money necessary to carry C- T1 these activities are under the control of the Senate. One of the Senate's by-laws states that no club or student organization bearing the school's name shall be recognized un- less chartered by the Senate. Through the Senate's sponsoring the Northeast Revue and Fall Play, the money received enables our athletic teams to have the advantage of the finest equipment of any Philadelphia Public High School. Due to the initiative and foresight of our Director of Athletics, Mr. Brachhold, and the financial support of the Senate, Northeast Field has been equipped with the first ampli- fying system to be used by any Philadelphia High School. The newly formed Student Tribunal shows Northeast again taking the lead in student government. Consisting of a faculty sponsor and seven members of the senior class, it has the power to punish violators of regulations under the jurisdiction of the Senate. lt can remove any offender from any club, squad, team or any other organization sponsored by the school for a satisfactory reason and with the approval of the faculty sponsor. The main point in view when organizing it was to invest the judicial power of the Senate in the hands of the student members. In so do- ing it has greatly increased the power of the student body in Senatorial affairs. The sen- ior members of the tribunal were Samuel Mann, Chief Iustice, Wilbert West, and Allan Sampson, while Mr. Doane supervised the experiment. ' Through the Senate, the students have their representation in school affairs. They are guided by the older and more experi- enced minds of the faculty advisers. This combination of zealous youth and experi- enced age has been the keynote of the suc- cess of the Northeast Senate, which for over thirty years has capably guided our student affairs. SENATE WICE each year the Senate of Northeast High School tenders the much honored Senate Awards to those students who by their personal influence, Character, and indi- vidual achievement have made a distinct contribution to the student life and welfare of Northeast High School. These coveted awards have been presented to students for over a decade. Previous to 1936, only fif- teen awards were given to the entire student body. However, due to the great increase in its size, a proportionate increase was made in the distribution of Senate Awards. The Senate passed a bill allotting one award to every two hundred students. Candidates for Senate Awards may be nominated on a blank, filled out by either students or members of the faculty. Activity is the keynote for obtaining this honor. A point system enables the awards to be given without favoritism. That is, candidates re- ceive a certain number of points for holding particular offices, or participating in other ac- tivities, the point being alloted in proportion to the relative importance of the work done. If the total number of points equals a speci- fied number, the candidate receives a First Award. In like manner the highly honored Second Award is given to those students of only the highest caliber. It is only fitting and proper that documents of this sort be awarded as a recognition of merit, thus fostering leadership and other desirable qualities. lust as an NE denotes outstanding ability in athletics, the Senate AWARDS Award recognizes leadership in the other fields of student activities. The reception of Senate Awards is not lim- ited to the student body. Special Senate Awards may be made to outsiders of merit and distinction and many have been pre- sented to famous personages in all walks of life. A great number have been presented to the guests of our famous assemblies. Miss Dusolina Giannini, opera star, Captain C. W. R. Knight, famed ornithologistp Sir Willmott Lewis, British correspondent: and Gene Venzke, Penn's famous milerg are just a few of the celebrities who have been honored with Northeast Senate Awards. To receive a Senate Award denotes a suc- cessful school career. But it is more than that. It is an omen which foretells of future achievements. The select few who do re- ceive this cherished recognition are usually those who contain in themselves the neces- sary intelligence and ambition to mold them- selves into respected and indispensable citi- zens, and worthy members of the alumni of our great institution. Those members of the class of Ianuary '37, who through demonstrating excellent quali- ties of scholarship, activity, and leadership, received Northeast Senate Awards are: BATEIAN, SAMUEL BATES, GEORGE BERMAN, MARTIN FARAGI-IAN. IOSEPI-I GOODMAN, IEROME L. HEIL, DAVID HELINEK, FRANK MANN, SAMUEL G. MCCABE, IAMES MCCAUGHEY. IOHN MORGAN, GOMER D. MOSS, EDWARD PARTRIDGE, ROBERT RICKER, THEO. ROGERS, WALTER R.

I Of course, in its colorful history the Mega- phone has won many distinguishing honors at the various scholastic press conferences. Undoubtedly the most notable of these wa the winning of the Columbia Scholastic Pres Conference Awards for 1929, '30, and '3l. For taking first prize in the Columbia compe- tition, the Megaphone received a beautiful plaque, symbolic of top honors. By winnin this plaque the Megaphone achieved th pinnacle of high school newspaper success. But this was not the end, for in Ianuary, l936, the Megaphone added another prize to its already extensive collection, by emerging victorious at the Lehigh Press Convention. ln taking this blue ribbon our paper was in competition with representatives from six. states, proving the Megaphone's superior-.- ity in this section of the country. The Mega- phone also tied for first honors at a recent press conference held in Hershey, Pa., at which individual work was recognized, suclf MEGAPHONE STAFF as humor, cartoons, editorials, and other phases of news reporting. The Editor-in-chief of this prize-winning periodical is Charles Elfont, a member of the B class. He worked his way upward through the ranks and became one of the few junior class editors. Although the Editor- in-chief is not a member of the class of lanu- ary, '37, a few other important members of the staff are. At the influential post of Business Manager we find Iohn McCaughey, well known mem- ber of the classy Samuel Mann, Honor Man and most active in school activities, holds down the post of Advertising Manager, as Senior Class Editor, Frank Helinek, with all his other activities, maintained his post. A great deal of the success of the Mega- phone is due to the untiring zeal of the faculty advisers, Messrs. Vincent B. Brecht and Iohn C. Cunningham. Mr. Brecht acts as editorial adviser, while Mr. Cunningham takes care of publicity and financial affairs. The Megaphone plays an important role in the scheme of things at Northeast. Be- sides offering the students a cheap source of current news and sports data, the Mega- phone is a powerful financial aid. ln 1935 it contributed nine hundred dollars to the grandstand fund. A success since its for- mation, the Megaphone deserves the ad- miration and support of every loyal North- easter. ACKNOWLEDGMENT HE strenuous work on the Archive has been completed and at last I find time to sit once more in an easy chair and reminisce. Many pictures of bygone events and personalities enter my chain of thoughts: most of them, however, are connected with this Record Book. I wish to take this idle moment to express my grateful thanks to those who have made this book a success, for without them it would never have been possible. Although I am the Editor, it is your fellow classmates who did the honest labor. I hope that you will appreciate the sacrifices made by those boys and that when you read this book, you will enjoy every page of it and feel that the Archive Staff did not work in vain but honestly accomplished something. I do not like to mention personal names, be- cause the endeavors to create a book worthy of our class have reached far, and so to mention some few names I would slight or forget others who have worked equally hard. However, I ex- tend my sincere and earnest appreciation to Mr. Randolph Abbot and Louis Rabben, who made some snapshots for this book, to Zamsky Studios for their fine photography and untiring aid, to Lyon ci Armor Printing Company, and Phototype Engraving Company, and to Mr. Wildemore, to whom we all owe a vote of heartfelt thanks. So it is a fond but regretful farewell that I bid to this school and to the fellows with whom I have had an intimate friendship while working on this book. THE EDITOR. 105 4 1 4:1,.,'z...

Club meetings are held every other Friday evening at the Y. M. C. A. A regular planned program is utilized, combining interesting discussions on current topics and a social each month. The socials are staged either privately or with numerous Hi-Y organizations throughout the city. The President is Samuel Mann, Vice- President, Allen Sampson. Other A Class fellows include Walter Rodgers, past president of the club, and loseph Faraghan. BIBLE STUDY CLUB While most of the pursuits followed at Northeast contribute to the intellec- tual, social and physical development of the student, the Bible Study Club enables him to receive spiritual education in school surroundings. With Mr. Rhoads as leader, the club, comprised of two chapters, meets every Friday. lts endeavor is not confined to the meetings or to the boys who are already members. lt seeks new members, especially among those who have neglected their spiritual training, and conducts a campaign against vices which tempt boys of high school age. This organization must be commended for its work, as it has performed a great service for Northeast. 108 THE GARDEN CLUB Real Northeast Spirit has led the Garden Club, organized by Mr. Lapp in 1931, to make Northeast and its surroundings more beautiful. They over- came the great difficulty of clay soil and have planted velvet green grass and beautiful shrubbery. These boys have taken a real interest in their work and have accomplished it nobly. Each Wednesday meetings are held during fifth period for the purpose of discussing various problems and learning the basic principles of gardening and plant life. Officers include Gomar Morgan, Presi- dent, Samuel Mann, Secretary, Allen Sampson, Treasurer, and Alfred Boileau, Librarian. Each term the Garden Club does deeds of service to our school. TRAFFIC SQUAD CAPTAINS A definite part of Northeast are the Traffic Squad Captains who guide more than one hundred boys in keeping law and order. Their task comprises that of seeing that ordinances are kept and that all members keep their stations in the halls clear. The squad was organized several years ago by Mr. Landis. Today it is sponsored by Mr. Hallam and Mr. Doane. The captains this year include Wilbur West, Iohn Nolan, Charles Harris, and William Woehr. The traffic squad must be commended on the splendid work it has performed for our school. 109 HONORARY DRAMATIC SGCIETY The Northeast Honorary Dramatic Society was founded with the first famous Revue in l922. lt has achieved great success in bettering our Revues. The club did not attempt any plays until l925, but since then has presented a Revue each spring and a Play each fall. After each production, the boys gather at the home of Mr. Weills and they are presented with pins for their deeds of service. Many boys such as loseph Faraghan, President, Samuel Batejan, Secretary, Walter Bronstein, and Theodore Ricker, are veterans in our annual presentations. They will have their final curtain calls in Northeast this Fall. THE FENCING CLUB With a rapid growth, the Northeast Fencing Club, only four years old, has contributed a Fencing Championship to Northeast High School. Under the leadership of Mr. Bradbury, these boys have become very skillful. He aims to give all those interested a solid foundation for further triumph. Mr. Brad- bury's own equipment was first used, but now each member is fully equipped. Through his efforts, a league consisting of Northeast, Southern, and Central High Schools has been formed. Harry Gonzales is President this term. Thus the club faces broad fields of accomplishment for Northeast. 110 HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES A counterpart ot the House ot Representatives ot the United States is found in this Northeast Club. Every Tuesday an interested group of students meets, under the sponsorship ot Mr. Rhoads, to discuss questions of political, local, and legislative importance. As in our national legislative body, the student group has a Speaker, a Clerk, and a Chaplain, while the representatives are divided into parties according to their political leanings. Committees are appointed and various bills proposed, debated upon, and passed or rejected. ln a broader sense, the club is instrumental in promoting that toward which our entire education is directed, good citizenship. THE ENGINEERING CLUB Perhaps the most unique club in Northeast is the Engineering Club, which has progressed under guidance ot Mr. C. E. Shaw tor thirty years. The novelty is that no meetings are held. All meetings are in form ot trips to various industrial plants throughout the city, such as Kopper's Koke, Burk's Meat Pack- ing Plant, and the Delaware River Bridge. Thus, the club is enabled to educate its members in all phases ol engineering by actual contact. Only A or B class members may belong. The otticers this term are Gomar Morgan, Presi- dent, and Henry Roberts, Vice-President. This club combines the interesting with the educational, using actual illustrations. lll fn-:-5, 1-..

SPM ' lk ' .L - L FOO ABELED Northeast's mighty midgets at season's opening, we had probably smallest and most inexperienced team in T the the the league. However, with a spirit not often seen in any team, our boys determined not to be league door-mat, and in this determination tf were successful. Opening against a strong Olney team, i' non-league fray, We lost by a lZ-O score the tiny line looked very good, both scores the Trey T1 a but be- ing made through the air. Against West Phila- delphia, pre-season championship favori our aggregation Well earned a 6-5 tie. So ern Was met with the final outcome a repeti' of the West Philly tiff. Traveling to Ienkintown We encountered tes, ith- :ion GH undefeated Cheltenham eleven and lost a 114 BALL heartbreaker, 7-6. Peak form was reached against Germantown, with the Archives Win- ning 12-O. After a scoreless first half with the much favored Pioneer gridders, Frankford eked out a 6-U victory. ln the battle with Gratz, a safety was the margin of victory. Score 8-6. Pointed for the Central game, a fighting team, outplayed the Mirrors during the first half, but neither team could score. In the third period, however, Central, with some breaks and heads up playing, made three touchdowns. Some cori- solation was gained in Nick Dennis' pass inter- ception and 90 yard run to make the final score 22-6. Our class Was fully represented with Schatz, Stein, and Clark in the backfield, and Cloak, Tees, Larin, Vandegrift and Gondek on the line. - FIT? CROSS-COUNTRY HHN the call for cross-country candidates was sounded again, a promising season appeared in store for Coach Owen's boys. The Red and Black harriers started the season right by taking an always powerful Central team in- to camp. Then followed two triangular meet conquests over South Philly and Germantown, and Olney and Gratz. 1:1 the last meet of the season, our only setback was suffered at the hands of Overbrook. This was no disgrace, though, as Overbrook had a team this year that would do credit to many colleges. The Archives looked forward to giving Over- brook some keen competition in the Champion- ships, but the warm-up season was an accurate forecaster of the outcome. On the Canoe Club Course in Fairmount Park the Northeasters, giv- ing their all, placed a close second to Over- brook. Bill Fowler is a fellow graduate of whom we can well be proud, as he placed first for North- east a number of times, including the Cham- pionships, when he was among the Very first to finish. Other members of the 69th graduat- ing class who deserve recognition are Marty Arost, Harold Notwick,and Bob Ressner. 115 mi, r O .r I J ,EEN s is if SO CER NCE again Northeast has completed a br liant soccer season, and for the twelf consecutive year has won the championshi thus making a World Record for teams of i class. We opened our season by defeati West Philly 6-l. Keeping up the good o Northeast style they beat Overbrook 7-l, Ce tral 7-O, and finally ended by trimming G mantown 5-0. With Perry Bross as its captain the team ca through and tied the league record for scori which was made by the 1935 team of 32 goal also, fewer goals were recorded against us. The Championship team built around Appl I S 6- ton, Clark, Partridge, Hedeyoff, Pteteneller, and Smith, all of the Ianuary '37 class, had the dis- tinction of being the only team in four years to go through the season without a tie. The combined skill of the players, their cap- tain, Perry, and the experience of Coach Terry Was responsible for our amazing record. We have been Winning the Championship for so long that it has become a foregone conclusion. Of course, the one man to be praised for these showings of our soccer team is Coach Terry. The Class of Ianuary '37 may point with pride to the scintillating playing of their class- mates. 116 I SWIMMING WILD DASH was made and a champion- ship would have been surely carried off. by Northeast in last year's swimming race, but lo! hard luck joined up with the Northeast swimming team and disabled several stars who had been counted on to tally many points for the school. Their spirit, although weakened, did not keep the boys from winning the diving championship, an honor to be bestowed on Ken Michener. Several of the swimmers made headlines during last season, Tichy, being one of the fastest sprint men in the league, and Bill Rodgers being a consistent 220 winner. Al- though placing only third in last year's cham- pionships, Northeast sees new hope in the re- turn of one of her disabled swimmers, Captain Bud Peck, of our senior class, who will aid Rodgers in the 220. Peck, alone, gives our class plenty of representation on the team, but we also have Boileau, a breast stroke swimmer, graduating with us. The season looks like a sure championship one. Most of the old team is back, everyone is in best shape. Records are going to be shat- tered, mostly bv NE. 117 GYMNASTICS OLLOWING in the footsteps of their cham- pionship brother athletes, the Northeast Gym team of 1936 raised the curtain on a fine 1936 season by defeating Southern in the playoff. Only two lettermen and a last place second team remained from the previous year upon which Coach Nelson could build his team. At the beginning of the season, Southern was pick- ed to dethrone Olney, the defending champs, while the Archives were favored no better than fourth place. Our gyrnsters enjoyed a very successful sea- son in the dual and triangular meets by defeat- ing Central, Germantown, Gratz, Overbrook, West Philly, and Southern in great style. The first tough break occurred in the champion- ships. Vernon De Souza, one of the bulwarks of the tumblers, was forced out of competition by an injured wrist, and the Northeasters were nosed out by Southern: and finally, on account of the point system, a playoff between the two teams was necessary. ln this crucial test, the Archives, led by Charles Houston, showed their superiority by defeating the Southerners. A great deal of the season's success was due to the friendly com- petition among Vernon De Souza, Captain lohn McLaughlin and Charles Houston for high scor- ing honors, McLaugh1in being a fellow class member. Andrew Grandy and David Leace of the A class, also helped a great deal in bringing the gym crown back to Northeast. 118 BASKETBALL HE basketball team has high hopes of win- ning the coming Public High Race. Captain Bill McKnight, Bob McDonnell, Hal Stillings, and Perry Bross, all the regulars last year, will again represent the Northeast aqgreqation. With a great second team to supply reserve material and fill the vacant regular berth the team looks like the greatest since 1932-33. Last year's record, pretty good for a young team greatly handicapped by size, saw Coach Wooley's squad land Sth position in the Public High Loop, losing but two games. lt wasn't until after three drubbings at the hands of Hav- erford, West Catholic, and Central that the Northeasters registered their first victory, that over Frankford, 19-15. This was followed by a closely contested fray at Germantown which saw the Archives lose in a heart-breaking fashion. Doubtless, the most thrilling game of all, was that against West Philly. lt wasn't until the final minute of play that the much favored West Philadelphia team copped the contest, 34-32. ln much the same way defeat was tasted at the hands of Southern and Overbrook. ln the latter part of the season this young inexperienced team began to click and turn- ed in victories over Olney, Gratz, and Rox- borough. The class of lanuary '37 gave the services of Frankie Holmes to the team with Pray Matthews as an able manager. 119 FE CING HE newly formed fencing league, of teams from Northeast, Central, and ern, found Northeast its first champion, to the string of championships won in the l 36 season. Under the able guidance of 1 Bradbury the fencers won three of four matches in a sport unknown in Public High Schools fpur or five years ago. In the league opener, our only defeat was administered at the hands of Central. Against Southern, considered stronger than Central, the score indicated that we were the victor. In the second meeting with Cenqral, their previous victory was proved to be a fluke, as the Northeast sword-wielders turned the tables decisively. In a journey to the dolwn- town institution, Southern was again overcame and the championship was ours. The 69th graduating class can be proud of our re re- sentative on the team of six, Harry Ganz es, for his outstanding work in the championships alone, notwithstanding his consistent work throughout the season. Others on the t m were Gooch, Kahlenberg, and Huber, alre dy graduated, and Mayer and Kahlenberg, Go ch and Mayer shone during the season. lt is Coach Bradbury's earnest hope at more high schools will become intere ted enough in fencing to form teams and tffrius broaden the scope of the league and bring it to the fore as a sport. I 120 BASEBALL ITH Bob Vickery as the mainstay of the Archive mound staff, the Red and Black nine ended the 1936 season in a tie for second place. Coach Engel's boys were weak at bat but they more than made up for it with a fighting spiritlon the field. The Archives opened the season successfully by easily trouncing several tearns before the league season opened. They then took Olney over the hurdles to the tune of 3 to 1. The first defeat suffered was at the hands of the South- ern High nine, who beat our boys by the nar- row margin of one run. On the rebound the Northeast team took the West Philadelphia Speedboys into camp 10 to 1. Roxborough was beaten by a score of 3 to 2 and Frankford was whitewashed 3 to O. The Gratz Bulldog was beaten 6 to 3, but the Overbrook Hilltoppers defeated us 5 to 2. Then followed a victory over Germantown and finally our arch rival, Central, was thoroughly trimmed. Our classmates who played first team base- ball were Bob Partridge and Howell Evans. Bob played a fine brand of ball around the keystone sack, while Evans was a pitcher. Part- ridge played three years in school team compe- tition and aided the Red and Black no little by his pep and vigor while on the field. , Walt Rodgers, another classmate, managed the team in 1935 and Cohen in 1936. 121 RACK HE Red and Black color-bearers enjoyed a fairly successful season on the Cinder path and in the field. In two pre-league season meets the Archive team easily vanquished Haverford School and St. Ioseph's. A very tightly contested meet found Northeast nosed out by a strong West Catholic aggregation, National Catholic Champions in 1935. Unfor- tunately our first league encounter was against two of the strongest teams in competition, Over- brook and Central, and we finished a close third. After this, the going was fairly easy, with Northeast smoothly downing the rest of its league foes. What might well be termed the high spot of the l935 campaign was the setting of a new scoring record in a triangular meet. This happened against Gratz and Olney when our gang piled up lO9V2 points out of a possible l65. In the championships, While placing third, two Northeast stalwarts, lack Stein and Hal Stillings, garnered championships in the shot put and the 220 yard dash respectively. Those in our class aiding the team were Bob Nolan, shot putter, Raymond Pleis, broad jumper, and Martin Arost and Ray Chambers, half milers. 122 TENNIS E 1936 Tennis squad showed the fans how a team could play in the face of overwhelm- ing odds. The season of 1937, however, promises to be a more successful one for the racqueteers. Captain Leo Knable, of the class of Iune, 1936, ably filled the first singles position. A new- comer, Mike Lieberman, was impressive in his matches as the other singles player. One of our classmates, namely, Neprash, was on our doubles team, and displayed a fine brand of tennis in all his matches. lack Laverty, also of our class, played third position singles. The first match of the season was with Cen- tral. The Mirrors were victorious, but the bear- ers of the Red and Black went down fighting, with Lieberman putting up a stubborn defense before finally submitting. ln spite of defeat, Northeast returned the following Weeks, playing good tennis against teams from Overbrook, West Philly, Gratz, Ger- mantown, and Olney. Although they were not very successful, the Archives displayed an admirable fighting spirit throughout the cam- paign. The team was ably managed by George Bates, of our class. 123 WHO'S WHO Who is the most popular? Who is the most handsome? Who is the class wind-bag? Who is the class lick-lick?
