Outstanding as a center for scenic beauty is Mill Creek Park, a natural preserve for the beauties 4, ,xg of woody wilderness and animal life, portraying grandeur, strength, and grace in mighty trees and rock formationsg and revealing placid beauty in tran- quil lakes and rippling streams. Many are the memories of happy hours spent in this paradise of nature-paddling a canoe up wilderness channels, riding horseback on the verdant covered bridle paths, or just thrilling to the won- ders of God's handiwork. lj The scenery of other parks throughout the city renders many lovely aspects, and especially have We enjoyed Cran- dall Park with the fun of winter sports on the lake. lj Our residential district is enhanced by well kept lawns and gardens and the verdure of many trees: while the rolling country surrounding the city offers many scenes of pastoral beauty. 111 Realizing the influence that the natural beauty of our environment has had upon the formative stage of our lives and that this beauty can be better described by the magic of photography, rather than by words- We, The Rayen Annual Staff present Scenic Youngstown as our Art Motif for The Rayen Annual for 1935. -The Editor SGML un . jg ,gondwdmawmwimmdmmmwimdwmimdwdm 5,4 'T' 'T' 'FW 'F5' 'FU' 'FD' og fm, em, an? dn, fm, asv CONTENTS THE EOREWORD og I THE DEDICATION VIEWS OP MILL CREEK PARK THE MID-YEAR SENIORS eg THE JUNE SENIORS JUNE CLASS HISTORY UNDER CLASSMEN og ATHLETICS THE MUSIC DEPARTMENTS CLUBS AND DRGANIZATIONS SNAPSHOT PICTURES FEATURE ARTICLES ADVERTISEMENTS cg M I U!

MlDfYEAR CLASS HISTORY Q4 rv- ELL, if it isn't my High School Memory book! I shall never is l forget the four years I spent at Rayen. Why, I remember when f gl' A jg upperclassmen. It took us almost a whole year to get on our feet and adjust ourselves to the ways of Rayen. th QQ? we were Freshmen, how we gazed with envy and awe upon the I see by these clippings that our football team downed South 25-7 when we were Sophomores, and that our basketball team reached the semi-finals in the N. E. O. tourney at Warren. A Rayen Record I haven't seen one of these for years. How proud we were when our classmate Nan Cross was chosen editor. This Record says a group of students have been selected for the General staff of the Rayen Annual. In that list, I see the names of Don Tod 'and Jack Peters, also of our class. Here are some programs from the Music Departments' concerts. Four of our girls were in the Octetteg Jane Rosenberger and Peg Mathews had leads in the operetta The Lucky Jade, too. By the names on these programs it is plain to see that we were well represented in band, orchestra and chorus. What's this? It's a crown bearing the words, Rayen Will Win! Now I remember. During the week preceding our Thanksgiving game with South in l933, we had a big rally. I can still see the rooms, and corridors, decorated with orange and black streamers and pennants. We beat South 6-OI The girls didn't take a back seat that year either: they were Junior base- ball champs, and the track team CWadsworth, Tod, Rutkay and Harrison of our classj was host at the N. E. O, track and field meet. Even if we didn't turn out any stellar cage men from our Class, I recall that we had a group of mighty ine supporters who saw Rayen win the N. E. O. Championship and go to the second round of the iinals in the State Champion- ship at Columbus. I see by the Club News in this Record that many of our classmen held offices or served on boards and committees of the different school organizations. The sport page tells us of the fine work of Myer Monus on the Champion tennis team and of John Samolyk on the golf team. Well, well, here's a picture of the class officers. We certainly had some excitement the day they were chosen. Jack Peters was president: Peg Mathews, vice president: Jacob Coxey, treasurer, and Nan Cross, secretary. Shortly after election Mr. Miller, our principal, surprised us all by re- signing, but Daddy Herr stepped into his shoes and things kept running along smoothly. In October, about ten of our class were honored by being selected to sing in the N. E. O. T. A. chorus in Cleveland. These clippings and silk pennants aren't necessary to recall our third con- secutive victory over South, making us City Champs: and you can bet we were proud of Jack Peters who played on the winning team. After girls' basketball, Milly Hammitt earned her second R, a thing which few girls do, -:Sf Page Tzcenly-sf ven +29 ..h,... ..M,,,. 23 E53 3 Eh P Unnv Q 3 Qvninrn 9 as 553 E? 9220 0220 9226 0220 Til 22233 as 023' 0220 -2236 ess sel- es 1 is -1520 9230 - 1935 THE RAYEN ANNUAL 1935 ...ole qu.. o JUNE CLASS OFFICERS Dominic Rosselli, President, Jane Percival, Vice Pres., Jeanne Graham, Sec'y, Edward Corcoran, Treasurer Sealed, lefl ia right-David Brody, Elsie Chazanoff, llariann Landau, Jane Percival, Betty VanBaalen, Flora Brown, Edward Corcoran. llflidrlle ro-w, loft ta right-Leagrace Crow, Carolyn Dreher, Mary Policy, Christine Thaw, Diary Elizabeth Warwick, Ruth Hydovitz, Cecily lNICNamara, Virginia Lee.

Five of Rayen's basketball sharpshooters are from our class: Richard Miller, Dominic Rosselli, Joseph DeSimone, Joseph Sefreed, and Albert Monus. We might mention that Stephen James and Joseph Storey-both of our class--have received Five-R bars, which means that each has received at least live varsity R letters awarded in Major sports. Graduation Day, June, 1935. A lot of frightened boys and girls on a plat- form, some speeches which no one remembers, a piece of paper given by a kind- looking man, and it's all over. Prom being the worry of an illustrious faculty to four years later becoming exemplary scholars and a source of inspiration to our delighted teachers, we have at last become another addition to the list of Rayen alumni. -if Page Fifly-ihree 12:- gf SEE PAGES 112-114 FOR NAMES 13 2 Uhr Unhm' 3 3 3 Cllmmmvn 3 J 3 3 3 5 3 Q 3 6 3 9 3 6 Q 3 Q 9 Q Q 3 6 3 Q Q 1935 THE RAYEN ANNUAL 1935 -cl in II E50- -:Qf I'11geFif1y-six B+ THE 1936 MID-YEAR CLASS l935 THE RAYEN ANNUAL 1935 --'06 l l ap...

Louis Maga and Gene Aulisio helped to hand South the l9-O trouncing last year. At this game, and at all the rest for that matter, the band furnished the noise-and-oh yes, the music. Charles Axtmann, John Bare, Clay Folsom, George Granger, Clifford McCreary, Clarence Strouss, John Terlescki, Hastings Trigg, and Jack Wagman were the rooty-tooters. While we're mentioning music we might say that these boys, along with James Lambers, Lillian Roth, Jane Toot, and Natalie Weininger, form a large part of our famous Senior Orchestra. By the way, Natalie Weininger also saws her fiddle in the string quartet. Miriam Bowden, Caroline Campbell, Rose Cassano, George Granger. Frances Moyer, John Welker, and Edna Sloss all wear those long black spooky robes. Don't be afraid--they're only the members of the A Capella Choir. Edna Sloss sings in the Girl's Octette, a group which actually gets paid for their singing! The thinclads next attract our attention-as they usually catch everyone's eye. On the basketball team are Lloyd Haynes and Felix Malone, while on the track team are William Healey, James Lambert, Howard Williams, William Pettit, and Frank Heames. With all these outside activities, only diligent work has placed Donald Bernat, Rose Cassano, Beryl Dent, Charlotte Gateman, Marian Igo, Minnie Kaufman, Matilda Macchione, Lydia McCurdy, Bessie Slavin, John Terlescki. Natalie Weininger, Betty Wilkolf, Helen Wodianka, and Charlotte Stein on the Honor Roll. In the various school clubs we not only have members from our class but we also have oflicers. Kathryn Moore is secretary of the Yolaso Society, John Bare is president of the Hi-Y and treasurer of the French Club, and Charlotte Stein is vice president of the Stamp Club. There are many in our class who seem to be inclined toward Journalism. Charlotte Stein is Editor-in-Chief of the Record, Charles Axtmann is the Busi- ness Manager, and Barbara Brown is his assistant. In the Journalism Class are James Booker, Clay Folsom, Minnie Kaufman, Kathryn Moore, and George Reese. Each one has his special task in producing the Record. Those on the Annual Board who have made this fine year book possible are John Bare, Miriam Bowden, Beryl Dent, Charlotte Gateman, George Gran- ger, Dorothy Levin, Kathryn Moore, George Reese, Bessie Slavin, Clarence Strouss, Donald Grant, John Markusic, and Charlotte Stein. The first work that the class did as a whole was to elect their oflicers. William Ford was chosen president, Frances Moyer, vice president, George Granger, treasurer, and Kathryn Moore, secretary. Long after the chandelier will be ixed and forgotten, people will remember that our Class and its members achieved some of the higher veins of our school life as a result of our earnest labors and our richly endowed minds! -:Sf Page Fifly-sefven Re- 1935 THE RAYEN ANNUAL 1935 -0 S90 :IE 0 Y -aff Page Fifty-eight Q31- E JUNIOR CLASS TH 1935 THE RAYEN ANNUAL 1935 ...of-QI IE qu..

Those charming Hun haircuts we have seen hopping about dance floors, and running up ramps were originated in the fertile brains of the Junior class. To prove further that the '33 Annual's eulogy is untrue and malicious: have not Mary Jane Ashton, Nancy Evans, Kathryn Pershing and Nancy War- wick achieved something in the Octette before becoming Seniors? And also Robert Croysdale, Robert Eberhart, Milton Greenberg, and Grey McKenrick as extra-special endmen in the minstrel? And also, what of that N. E. O. T. A. chorus who managed to give the Cleveland hotel guests a sleepless night? Of course, you recognize these sleep disturbers: Robert Eberhart, Milton Greenberg, Robert Harley, Gomer Jones, Weiker Kline, Grey McKenrick, Joseph Phillips, Harriet Rees, and Robert Ricksecker. Our instrumental department includes some of the best-looking CU boys in school-for example: Stephen Butler, Herbert Parks, Morris Simon, Jack Smith-while these aren't as bad on the eyes and are good musicians, too: Robert Croysdale, Paul Deak, Peter Gulick, Donald Goodridge, Robert Harley, Gomer Jones, Weiker Kline, Clyde Labate, Jerome Lefkowitz, Henry Arkwi- zewski, John Quigley, Fred Resch, Robert Ricksecker, Franklin Rook, Robert Saunders, George Silver, Morton Solomon, Walter Spiegel, Daniel Ungar, and Lawrence Zimmerman. Some important Juniors in Clubs are: Ann Petrarca, as vice president of Home Economics: Betty Brainard, Sue Carson, Rose Cassano, Nancy Warwick, Maurine Pupkin, Stephen Butler, as members of the Administrative Committee of French Club, Evelyn Balch, Florence Jones, Sidney Kline, George Silver, as workers on the Record Staff, Jean Brunswick, Betty Rogers, on the G. A. A. Board: and Joseph Carter, Jack Steuerwald, Sidney Kline, George Silver, Joseph Kaufman, as actors in the Dramatics Club. Between rehearsals of passionate love scenes in Dramatic Club productions. Joseph Carter still had time to foot foot-balls. No lesser Don Juans of the Football team are George Dolwick, Robert Halloran, David Massocco, David Kohan, Eugene Aulisio, Walter Cegan, Robert Croysdale, Robert Ellis, Ed Higgins, Gerald Holmes, Victor Marino, Eugene Roberts, and Robert Scali. And what is more important-they have won the city championship again! If you ever have an extra dime in your pocket and want to see a circus, go to a basketball game and see Victor Marino and Patrick Pachell amuse the crowd while Robert Halloran, Steven Mamrick, David Kohan, William Lansing, John Simione, and Eugene Roberts help play a line brand of basektball. The girls' basketball team runs from one extreme to the other-Jean Brunswick was unanimously elected the tomboy of the school, and Winifred Patrick has a mean twist when it comes to knitting. And now, all we can hope is that we'll have as much fun next year as seniors Cif We passlj.

Gina Saulino, Mary Jean Schultz, John Stuves, Jerry Wald, Jeanette Williams, Marcia Bernsteen, Thomas Cross, Richard Harley, Victor Kurjan, John Kusnic, Ruth Naylon, Isadore Ozersky, Bernard Sisman, and Bostwick Vinton. There is also another distinction which our sophomore class already holds: we have the largest enrollment in the school. So much for the cerebral capacity and number of our class. Maybe some of our sophomore girls on the basketball team would like to see their names in print? Here goes: Ruth Davies, Sylvia Glass, Nettie Belle Harrison, Gina Sau- lino, Alta Jean McDonald, Edith Purnell, and Margaret Woods. Besides such athletic grls, we believe some of our worthy brethren were instrumental in that very swimmingly grand demise of South on Thanksgiving Day. Those on the reserve squad were: Thomas Goldcamp, George Hartland, James Poleno, Ed- ward Bartz, and William McKelvey. What! no color! Yes, sireeg Howard Kline seems to be a connoisseur of bright-colored necktiesl And don't forget that James Poleno carried off the honors for being the only sophomore on the regular basketball squad. Voices worthy of A Capella are owned by a host of our classmates: Frank Ambrose, Frances Babbitt, Amelia Delplato, Betty Gay, Richard Harley, Alice Henery, Sally Hubler, Esther Hydovitz, Charles Lee, Terry Montani, Alta Jean McDonald, Blanche Riddle, and Ruth Wilcox. An even greater distinction is conferred upon those of our number who are in the octette: Ruth Wilcox, Betty Gay, and Alta Jean McDonald. Our class is very versatile, too-yes, we even have two dancers in whom we take pardonable pride! They are Jean Grippe and Vivian Kane. Quite a number of our boys, of course, are musically inclined in the band. Those noted for their knowledge of sharps and flats are: Bernie Katz, Richard Harris, Irving Hotimsky, Kline Locker, Isadore Ozersky, Donald Ruhlman, Jack Rudolph, and Bernard Sisman. Public opinion has it that that happy duo, Winifred Sause and Virginia Mullane, take the cake for being the best-natured girls in our class. And speaking of pairs, we wonder when the people in this school will begin to distinguish one of the Cramer twins from the other. Milouise Emerson, Irving Hotimsky, George Paugh, Bernie Katz, grace the roll of the senior orchestra, and then three sophomore girls are on Miss Harding's Library Staff. They are Jayne Booth, Jean Sause, and Jane O'Hara. We aren't through yet! But we are inclined to believe that you will agree we have a well-sounded personnel.

Come, let us follow these young students as they alight from the train and approach Rayen. At Q9 A They gaze with awe upon the beautiful surroundings of the school. Breathlessly they look upon the great Rayen Stadium in which many a heart-rending game has been played. Perhaps some of these students will some day be out there fighting for their Alma Mater. They note also the lovely flower garden now in its most beautiful stage, a solid mass of brilliant colors. But come, let us enter these spacious halls and follow our newly-found friends as they go about their work and play during the year. First for the gym. Look at those baskets! They're being overcrowded. Those boys are sinking them from all angles. It looks as if there's some promis- ing material for future years in this class. We salute Mr. Lansing, Mr. Ellis, Miss Stoops, and Miss Whan for their fine work. The Freshman girls under Miss Stoops and Miss Whan are going right ahead in their campaign. Among those outstanding are Virginia Slifka, Monica Warner, Marian Bascom, Nancy Duby, and Mary Louise Mincher. And now we iind ourselves approaching the Music Room. Listen to those beautiful rhythmic strains of the Blue Danube Waltz floating from the room. Members of our class whom we find playing these colorful phrases in the band and orchestra under Mr. Yaus's excellent supervision are: George Cargill, Don- ald Frantz, Jr., Lois Cmoldblatt, Leonard Lourie, Harry Schagrin, and William Stolmack. Here also we find the Glee Clubs under the wonderful touch of Mr. Nisch- witz. We note innumerable members of the class lending their sweet and melo- dious voices to the frolicking tunes of the operetta, Ship Ahoy. A few have gone so far as to reach the ranks of the Junior A Capella Chorus, these being Dorothy Biddle, John Bierkamp, Harold Blank, Ruth Burley, Bob Chrystal, Esther Groeschen, William Higgins, Robert Joyce, William Rielly, Constance Roth, Ruth Saunders, and Robert Venrose. Believe it or not, here's a Valentine Party being staged by the Freshmen of 315. Let's go in and enjoy it ourselves. Yes, sir, there are Mr. Rogers and Miss Vogan, chaperoning the party. Listen to the solos and recitations being given by the members of the class. Everyone seems to be enjoying himself. Oh--here come the report cards, the real test of all. But our Freshmen can take it, Look at those honor roll names! The number seems incredible. Here's Colin Ramage with 5 A's. Farther down we find a number of students with 4 A's: Marian Bascom, Dorothy Flewellin, Lois Goldblatt, Selma Hain, Elaine Ortman, Margaret Phau, Harry Schagrin, and Phyllis Whitten. A great many also have 3 A's. We wish to take this opportunity to thank all of the teachers who have aided our class this year, but as they are far too many to mention, we will have to be content with saying simply this: To all teachers connected with the Freshman Class and to all not connected with it who helped a Freshman in any way, we, the Freshman Class of 1935, thank you. if Page Sixly-three E+ 34 SEE PAGE 114 FOR NAMES yg ,... ........ 3533 32553 ggo Hihlviirn gg 9 5 220 M was 3 Q Q ' 3 Q 3 Q 3 3 Q 3 3 3 Q Q 3 6 Q 3 3 3 8 9 3 -rf gan IIE 0 cn E -I -I II!

Coach Lansing had a group of veterans to build his team around this year, and after weeks of rigorous training, he picked the squad that was to wear the Orange and Black in Rayen's gridiron wars. Rayen opened on September fifteenth with a 13-6 victory over a stubborn Niles crew. On September twenty-second, our boys downed the Sharon High eleven 13-12, in a very hard-fought game that was packed with thrills. Q 13 seems to be Rayen's lucky number.j Rayen played host to Akron Central, a highly-touted team, on September twenty-ninth, and eked out a close 6-O decision. The powerful Canton McKinley crew came to the Stadium the following Saturday and trounced Rayen 33-O. This defeat is no disgrace, however, be- cause Canton became state champions and held a decision over a small college eleven. Rayen came back strong on October thirteenth and severely thrashed East, 25-0, as our first step towards the city title. The boys rested on the following week-end. Some of them attended the Pitt-Minnesota game and the others the Mount Union-Western Reserve clash. Chaney's hopes of a city title were destroyed when Rayen defeated them 7-6 in a game that made a Western thriller look like an afternoon of bridge at the Old Ladies' Home, when it came to excitement. On November tenth, the boys overpowered a Warren team, that was re- puted to be very strong, 6-O. Rayen outplayed them in every department with Peters, Storey, Martin, and Pachell starring defensively, and Rosselli and Sackela leading the offense. Rayen rallied in the last half to defeat Girard 13-6 in a close game. CRayen's lucky number is l3.Q Rayen then took on her traditional rival, South, and spanked them in the mud of their own back-yard. Rayen's whole team played wonderful football. and even the combination of the elements and the Red and Blue couldn't stop them. Rayen's passing attack even functioned, despite the adverse weather con- ditions, and we came out on top 19-0. Headed by Captain Nicholas Sackela, the team had played good football all year and as a reward they were feted at banquets given by the Round Table and Rotary Clubs, and one given by the men of the Rayen faculty. Thus closed one of the most memorable seasons in Rayen's football history and, although he will lose many men through graduation, Coach Lansing has high hopes for the team for next year, which will be built around eight return- ing lettermen and several promising members of the Reserves. u We are all proud of our team's fine record which was made under the able tutelage of Coach Harold Lansing, and hope that his future teams will continue Rayen's fine athletic record. if Page Sixty-sefvcn Bc- 1935 THE RAYEN ANNUAL 1935 ...Q aiu...

' . , . which enabled more boys to participate in the game under the super- 9 vision of a coach. Besides the Varsity team, he picked teams of Seniors, and of Sophomores, and Juniors, which practiced with the Varsity. The Varsity, headed by Captain Dominic Rosselli, opened the season by losing to the Alumni, Akron Central, and Lowellville, in the first three games, before they broke into the winning column by defeating Warren 40-23. Three defeats at the hands of Sharon, Memorial, and Niles followed. The Tigermen recovered to defeat Struthers and Brookfield, but then fell before Canton Mc- Kinley, Salem, and East. Three successive victories over Chaney, Scienceville, and Girard followed. South, our hated rival, defeated the Orange and Black standard-bearers 30-24. A victory over East Palestine 39-37 closed the season. In the N. E. O. Tournament, Rayen defeated Boardman and Sebring, and lost to Salem and Girard to qualify for the district tournament at Akron, where they lost to Brush and were eliminated from further competition. egf Page Sixty-eight Bt- 1935 THE RAYEN ANNUAL 1935 ----1. ggi ng-g THE RAYEN TRACK TEAM EMBERS of the Rayen track team again demonstrated Rayen's ath- letic prowess in their very successful season of 1934. They defeated Boardman, Canton, Poland, Sharon, Warren, and Canfield, and also received third place honors in the Salem Relays, and second place in Wim' the N. E. O. district meet. During the season five school records were broken, with Vincent McBride breaking the half mile record, David Massocco the shot-put, Howard Williams the quarter mile, and Harvey Wadsworth the 220-yard low hurdles. Also the mile relay record was broken by the relay team consisting of Harvey Wadsworth, John Malloy, Ivan Kovacicek, and Howard Williams. Rayen was honored in being host of the N. E. O. district meet in which all teams of Northeastern Ohio participated. Ten of Rayen's track members qualified in this meet to go to Columbus to compete in the state finals. These boys were: Vincent McBride, David Massocco, Harvey Wadsworth, Nickolas Rutkay, Ivan Kovacicek, Eugene Wren, Stephen James, and Manager Irving Ozersky. In this state meet Stephen James won first place in the javelin throw, and Nickolas Rutkay won fourth place in the discus throw. The team for 1935 is minus nine men because of graduation, but they still look strong with most of the old members back again. During the season they meet Sharon and Warren, and are participating in the Salem Relays and the N. E. O. district meet. Through the coaching of Mr. Oliver Ellis and Mr. John Russ the team again looks forward to a very successful season. Otto Williams is manager this season, and William Cruikshank assistant manager. if Page Sixty-nine ifc- 1935 THE RAYEN ANNUAL 1935 gan 095 Left Io Right, Las!

TENNIS 1934 'gil-IE tennis season for 1934 ended very successfully with Rayen' Win- ning the city series championship, in spite of the fact that tennis had been given a respite during the year of 1933, due to lack of funds. Rayen played her first scheduled match early in the season, when A iwsll-A she was pitted against an excellent Salem team. Both teams played superb tennis, and the individual matches were fairly even. The match ended with Salem Winning, Salem 4, Rayen 3. Salem being the only out-of-town rival, Rayen began the city series, beat- ing East 6-l. Chaney was the next victim with the match ending 5-2. Probably the most exciting match was against South, who had a very strong team and had great hopes of beating Rayen. But Rayen again played championship tennis and romped through with a brilliant 4-3 victory, giving our team the city series title. Members of the team were: Max Brunswick, captain: Jack Wagman, Albert Monus, William Jones, Robert Taylor, James Barnes, Myer Monus, Dan Ungar, and Donald Sullivan, whose death resulted in this ye1r's team losing one of its star men, -:if Page Sefvenly R1- 1935 THE RAYEN ANNUAL 1935 .nag ala...

THE RAYEN GOLF TEAM HEARayen Golf Team, under the supervision of Mr. Pickering, has been making outstanding and exceptional records for Rayen School since it was first organized seven years ago. Although all the city schools have golf teams at present, the first one was started at Raven 5419703-4 by Mr. Pickering in 1928, and it has held the city championship for the past seven years. The boys who were on the team last year: namely, John Samolyk, Patrick Miladore, Ralph Pallante, and John Simione, deserve especial credit. In last season's matches they were undefeated, their total score for the six games being 76, while that of their opponents was but 16. The team average was 81 M for eighteen holes and Coach Pickering expects it to be even lower this year. Individually, John Samolyk, captain, held the lowest average. He held the honors with a score of SOM, but the other boys were close runners-up, Their schedule last year was made up of games with Warren, Ciirard, Chaney, East, and two tournaments with Salem. Their closest victory was with East, which they managed to win after a hard match: the final score was Rayen 9, East 5. Coach Pickering has these same boys, with the exception of Captain Samo- lyk, who graduated in February, to build up a winning combination for 1935. Mr. Pickering has produced successful teams in previous years, which have made a name for the school, and we are confident that they will win another title for Rayen in 1935. -:Sf Page Se-venty-one Hc- I935 THE RAYEN ANNUAL 1935 ....9 ll QE fp... GIRLS' ATHLETIC ASSOCIATION Girls' Athletic Association, a school. organization composed of girls who Want to combine their athletic and social activities, has just completed another very successful year. 544 fgittg' This club includes in its membership most of the girls in Rayen and because of this a large executive staff is necessary. The executive staff for 1935 included: Betty Bergman, president, Jean Brunswick, vice presi- dent: Camilla Hammitt, secretary: Betty Griiiiths, Senior representative: Betty Rogers, Junior representative, and Nettie Harrison, Sophomore representative. Under the leadership of these girls the club enjoyed a year of activity that included the annual steak fry, a hike and Weiner roast in Liberty Park, Girard: and an exciting treasure hunt in Crandall Park which concluded the outdoor activities. The Christmas Party was a huge success. Miss Keck told a delightful Christmas story, and this was followed by an exchange of gifts. The girls also received their basketball numerals and Dorothy Rose Levin and Camilla Ham- mitt received those coveted R's. The numerals and letters were not gifts despite the Christmas spirit, but had been earned through dint of hard Work. Of course, a Valentine Party was held with stunts and a heart-hunt providing the enter- tainment. A skating party for all Rayen girls closed this very successful year. The girls are very grateful to Miss Whan and Miss Stoops under Whose guidance they have enjoyed the many benefits derived from participation in the G. A.

Early in October basketball begins. Those who wish to try out come on their appointed nights, and after a few weeks the teams are chosen. The class tournament is then played. Those girls that played on the winning team are given l50 points toward their letter, and members of the teams, 100 points. Points are given also for work done in baseball, track, and tennis. Baseball points are awarded in the same manner as those for basketball. In track each girl works for herself, gaining 100 points for each first place and 50 points for each second place. The winner of the tennis tournament is given 100 points and a runner-up for tennis gains 50 points. When a girl has earned 800 points she is entitled to a letter. Those girls winning theirs in 1934 were: Edith Regan, Charlotte Stahl, Anna Fronceski, Augusta Yavorski, Betty Bergman, Myrtle Lundgren, and Mary Louise Ross. This year four more girls have succeeded in winning their letters. These girls are: Dorothy Rose Levin, Rosemary Yurkshait, Sarah Jane Toot, Betty Grifliths, and Camilla Hamitt. This year Camilla won her second letter after winning her first one in 1933. -if Page Seventy-three 134- 1935 THE RAYEN ANNUAL 1935 ggi nag ,,....

Led by William Harrison, these veterans demonstrated real abil- ' ' fvmna' ity and came through with flying colors. Their nearest rivals were the Sophomores, who presented a well-balanced aggregation led by Captain Smallowitz and Lawrence Lewis to finish in the runner-up position. The Juniors, who were hampered by ineligibility rulings, finished in third place despite fine work by Morrison. The lowly Freshmen finished in the cellar posi- tion, but not until they had put up a struggle in which they were led by the Ryan brothers. The tournament opened on March 19 with the Freshmen beating the Sophomores 4-3 and the Seniors topping the Juniors 25-13. On March 20, the Juniors defeated the Freshmen 27-6 in the only game played. On March 21, the Seniors beat the Freshmen 25-1 1, and the Sophomores defeated the Juniors 22-9. The scores for the second half of the tourney were as follows: Sophomores 29 - Freshmen 1 1: Seniors 24 - Juniors 8: Seniors 23 - Sophomores 14: Juniors 26-Freshmen 105 Seniors 48 -Freshmen 18: Sophomores 22- Juniors 21. The officials of the tournament-Blaine Austin, Victor Marino, Patrick Pachell, and Adrian McKinley, picked the following All-Tournament Team: Morrison, Juniors: Harrison, Seniorsg Bacani, Seniorsg Lewis, Sophomores: and J. Ryan, Freshmen. This tournament was staged under the direction of Mr. Ellis, and the boys are grateful to him for his assistance in staging the tournament. Mvl. GIRLS' CLASS BASKETBALL X34 HE girls' basketball season started out well with a bevy of girls coming out for practice. After a few weeks' training the teams were picked by Miss Stoops and Miss Whan according to their ability. On December 4th the Seniors defeated the Juniors 16-13 in a close Fxfvndfdf game. The Freshmen fought valiantly, but were defeated by the Sophomores. The Seniors won the first round after defeating each of the other two teams. ln the second round each team played the same teams again. The Seniors trounced the Juniors for the championship by a score of 54-10 with the Senior star, Camilla Hammitt, sinking eleven baskets. The Juniors came in second, the Sophomores third, and the Freshmen last. The girls who received numerals for playing basketball on the Senior team were: Leona Fitch, Theresa Lonczkowski, and Ann Norton. Elsie Labate and Dorothy Miller carried off the numerals in the Junior team. The Sophomore girls who received numerals were: Ruth Davies, Marion Emery, Sylvia Glass, Rose Stolmack, Charlotte Thomas, and Margaret Woods. All the Freshmen received numerals. They are: Ruth Barnett, Marian Bascom, Violet Benson, Eleanor Bretz, Mary Ruth Butler, Harriette Daykin, Nancy Duby, Gladys Ellis, Ruth Henry, Mary Louise Mincher, Virginia Slifka, Mary Strausbaugh, Monica Warner, and Phyllis Whitten. -if Page Sefvenly-four Be Qrganigaiinnn 5?

PRESENTING A YEAR AT RAYEN UR school days at-Rayen constitute one short golden interval in our Journey through life. They are four years of merry youth moulded 3 and tinted according to the ability, ambition, and character of the stugienlt. During this formative stage, the student at Rayen woiiks V QWYPQM an p ays, loses and wins, thinks intensely and learns. If he ta es advantage of the excellent opportunities offered in a variety of activities, he linds organizations made up of students of kindred interests and directed by competent instructors and advisors: here he forms real friendship. Through activity he develops appreciation, poise, and leadership. Then again, we find that there is a great deal behind the brilliant and colorful spectacle of the big game, for through interest in athletics the student comes to know sportsmanship, team work, and loyalty. Then with the playing of the last march at Commencement -it all ends. But how to remember, how to retain one hour of those precious years-nothing except your annual. In presenting this annual we give you a year at Rayen-a year packed full of the joys, achievements, and friendships of high school days. With the aid of our faculty advisors, who have given their time and talent so willingly, we have endeavored to publish an annual worthy of our school's name: and if in years to come while turning the pages of this memory book, you feel your spirit glow with pleasure in recollection of those happy days at Rayen-then The Rayen Annual for 1935 will have served its purpose.-The Editor. 42-f PageSefvenly-six 131- l935 THE RAYEN ANNUAL 1935 ...nf n ala...

Since 1899 this record of Rayen happenings has passed through many years of prosperity and achievement. That year the first paper supervised by Mrs. Peterson and Mr. Miller, made its PM 579344 initial bow, it had as editor William Maag, now of the Youngstown Vindicator. Throughout those years the 'iRecord has carved for itself a place in the hearts of all Rayenites and has maintained the highest standards of high school journalism. In September, Mr. Herr, who for many years had so loyally and success- fully supervised the paper, was compelled to resign from this position because of his new duties as principal. However, under the very able direction of Mr. Stewart, we have done our best to follow in Mr, Herr's footsteps, and have published an issue every two weeks. Through the paper the students have an excellent opportunity to discover just what is being done in Rayen. Complete reports of sports, club news, notes on the faculty, alumni, and students are published. Among the new features added during the past year, we presented Ramp Rumors, Betty Benitaf' and an 'il-Xnagram Contest which was very enthusiastically received by the students. Heading the Record Staff this year were our capable editors: Nan Cross and Charlotte Stein. Miriam Bowden's original poetry added much to our paper as did Ted Corcoran's general talent. Due credit must be given to the members of the Journalism Class who assisted in the compilation of each issue. Congratulations, Mr. Stewart! May every year you have the Record under your supervision be as successful as this first one has been. . -:gf Page Sefvcnly-eight We - 1935 THE RAYEN ANNUAL l935 .mg lL q ay... THE GIRLS' OCTETTE HE Rayen Girls' Octette has been steadily increasing in numbers. S until now it is composed of eighteen members. The octette, with its substitutes includes Edna Sloss, Nancy Warwick, Jane Percival, Betty Gay, Jane Rosenberger, Alta McDonald, Jeanne Graham, Nancy 544 53935 Evans, Ruth Wilcox, Margaret Mathews, Mary Jane Ashton, Evelyn Clement, Katharyne Pershing, Dorothy Shirk, Nan Cross, Betty Lloyd, Virginia Lee, and Marjorie Jacobs. The accompanists on the piano for this year are Mary Stevenson, Betty Lloyd, and Jean Graham. Among the selections presented by the group are Waitin' in the Shadows, Marcheta, Sing Me To Sleep, 'AA Little While, and Allah's Holiday, from The Firefly. Two of Victor Herbert's compositions, Kiss Me Again and Gypsy Love Song, complete the octette's repertoire. Always in demand, the octette has entertained for the football radio pro- gram, Sorosis Club, the Southern Hills Country Club, St. John's Church in Sharon, the P. T. A. Council, the Monday Musical Club, the Junior and Senior High School Forum, and for various church services and school activities, in addition to a broadcast over station WKBN. Mr. Nischwitz, the group's able director, has devoted a great deal of time and patience to their training, and is largely responsible for the excellent stand- ing of the octette. In the absence of Mr. Nischwitz, Jane Percival directs the singing. In the Girlsf Octette Rayen has an organization of which she may be pardonably proud. Page Scfuentj ine Ee 1935 THE RAYEN ANNUAL 19 -:jf Page Efghly 13+ - THE RAYEN CONCERT BAND l935 THE RAYEN ANNUAL 1935 ...qi fl IE q.... THE RAYEN BAND kfrvgxiwe AYEN may well be proud of her Marching Band of sixty-six pieces, under the direction of Mr. Yaus, music instructor and di- rector, who has proved himself invaluable to the department. ln addition to his ability to uphold the standard of the Band year after year, he is a true friend and advisor to every member. YA The solo chairmen of the band reflect Mr. Yaus' knowledge of the subtleties of musical effects. This group is comprised of John Quigley, trumpet: Ernest Zenk, clarinet: Clay Folsom, flute, William Smalley, French horng Jerome Lefkowitz, trombone: William Schofield, bass: and Charles Axt- mann, baritone, who is also the drum major and baton artist. When we recall the cheers, color, and real fun which have accompanied the many Rayen football games we have attended, we must remember the Rayen Band, marching in perfect formation, horns shining in the autumn sun, orange and black capes waving in the breeze, led by their drum-major, who whirls his baton with unusual skill. Foremost among our memories of high school days shall be that of the band standing on the field in R formation playing Rayen's '4On To Victory, while the student body, standing in the bleachers, sing and wave their banners. Rayen has a marching band noted throughout the state as an organization embracing the highest standards of band music. Now we see the Rayen Band in a quite different setting, as a concert band presenting all the beauty and artistry of fine classical music. The instrumental division of the annual Autumn Concert given at Rayen was unusually outstand- ing in its program. The student leaders who directed The Serenade by Her- bert, were Irving Hotimsky, John Bare, John Quigley, George Montgomery, Clarence Strouss, Jr., and Charles Axtmann. John Bare played Nearer My God to Thee as a chimes feature. The Rayen Specialties added a new note to the concert. The Melody Boys were Joseph Belvet, Frank Ambrose, and Fred Anzivino. The Saxophone Quartet, composed of Edward Przelomski, Dee Andella, Ernest Zenk, and Clifford McCreary, played many encores. During the summer of 1934 eight boys were chosen to play in the All-Ohio High School Band for the Ohio State Fair at Columbus. Those who attended are: William Schofield, bass, John Quigley, trumpet: Dee Andella, Clifford McCreary, Clarence Strouss, Jr., and Howard Rempes, clarinet: Clay Folsom, flute: and Charles Axtmann, baritone, one of our four drum-majors. Every advantage possible in free musical instruction is offered to pupils by Mr. Yaus and his student teachers. Every morning, between seven and eight- thirty o'clock, students receive instruction from the following teachers: Ernest Zenk, Clarence Strouss, Jr., John Quigley, Clifford McCreary, Charles Axt- mann, Clark Hammitt, Fred Schultz, and William Schofield. Special groups of boys were called upon to furnish entertainment on many occasions. Eleven members played at Butler School for a garden club meeting in September, and fifteen were chosen to play at Martin Luther Church for a Hallowe'en Party. On Armistice Day the whole school observed several minutes of silence while the impressive notes of taps rolled through the halls. Fred Schultz, John Quigley, and George Paugh were the buglers. The Band closed an active year when it gave a concert at the Twelfth Annual Spring Festival, the greatest high school musical undertaking in the city, which is held in May at Stambaugh Auditorium. elif Page Eighty-one Ec- 1935 THE RAYEN ANNUAL 1935 'll egf Page Efghiy-ltco 12+ - 5 9 ORCHESTRA THE RAYEN CONCERT .rfa -. fgi l - TN N V' Qvl , , A 2 EEO, XO' we 5 ' - xg Q in N, 'UG' 1-f' l935 THE RAYEN ANNUAL 1935 '--'Ke Il ll fy...

Center your work so ,,, C f that some day you may become a member of Rayen's line concert D X orchestra, for Mr. Yaus will ind room for you there as soon as ,! you have fulfilled the requirements Our young musicians find it Nga very profitable to join one of the small groups of instrumental students who may be seen at any time practicing in and about the music room. If you lean towards ensemble playing, gather a few boys or girls together-there are always willing ones-and form your group. Such organizations as the Sax Quartet and the Girls' String Quartet have originated in this manner. The Junior Orchestra is a stepping stone to bigger things for music students, for in this organizations Mr. Yaus teaches and grooms the pupils for their work in the Concert Orchestra and the Rayen Band. Many times during the year our musicians have entertained and assisted by playing at functions throughout the city. Some of the most important of these were: The play, Nobody's Girl, presented at Keith's Palace by The Children's Theater of New York g The Queen's Husband, a Youngstown College pro- duction: and the Martin Luther Pageant, which was given at Stambaugh Auditorium. The department is also very obliging in presenting musical pro- grams for numerous club meetings and parties in the school. Twice a year the orchestra presents an excellent concert accompanying the Rayen School Com- mencement exercises held at Stambaugh Auditorium. One of the biggest events of the year was the Mid-Winter Carnival given at Hayes School Auditorium, in which every member took part. Mr. Yaus directed the orchestra ina really fine program. Then again, a picked group of the orchestra's members accompanied the Vocal department in their production of the Dixie Melody Minstrels and also in their musical comedy, Ship Ahoy. The proceeds from the concerts given during the year are used to buy more instruments and to further equip the music room. This enables many students to study music without the expense of buying an instrument. At the present time the department owns string basses, French horns, percussion instruments, drums, a bassoon and a oboe. The music room is also fully outfitted with chairs, stands, cupboards, a sound curtain and, of course, a very extensive library of orchestral arrangements of many musical selections. This year the Rayen Music Department presented a gift to the school library. It is a very valuable set of books, Grove's Dictionary of Music and Musicians , and as a permanent part of the library it should prove interesting and helpful to music students for years to come. Many Rayen students after graduating have continued their musical careers with great success. Some come back to Rayen, for a time, and continue to train and practice with our orchestra and band. While others have sought to further their education in schools of music, there have also been those who have become members of prominent musical organizations. A number of the members of the Youngstown Symphony Orchestra are former Rayen music students. This and other examples prove that our students, taught and inspired by that grand director, musician and showman, Mr Grover C. Yaus, are doing a great deal in making a name for themselves and Rayen in the field of music. -:EE Page Eighty-three Ek- 1935 THE RAYEN ANNUAL 1935 if CAPELLA CHORUS A THE RAYEN -12f Pays Eighty-four ig:- W f 1935 THE RAYEN ANNUAL l935 Ulf ,T :ju-.- THE RAYEN A CAPELLA HE A'Capella Choir has completed its fourth year as the foremost organization of the Rayen vocal music department, for it is mem- ?

With the close of the current season gvtli-if we find that the Rayen A Capella Choir in its comparatively short ss.. -I--ei- - QQ L bership in this organization that marks the zenith in the musical f lm EL existence has established a name dear to the hearts of Youngstown music lovers: a name which is being widely discussed in music circles throughout the state. Greatest credit should be paid to our competent director, Mr. Walde- mar Nischwitz, whose patience and faith in his subjects, coupled with his skill as a teacher and director, has enabled him to mold from a group of inexperienced high school singers a choir whose work has been compared by critics to that of the St. Olaf and Westminster A Capella Choirs. The choir is made up of about seventy-five students, which include eight voice ranges. They are outfitted with black robes trimmed with orange rosettes, and present an impressive sight when they march onto their stands in perfect formation. For the third successive year the Rayen A Capella Chorus appeared as guest artists on the Webber Organ Recital at Stambaugh Auditorium, March 31. The choir was exceptionally well received by the large audience. They were especially praised for their presentation of 'Coin' Home, taken from the largo of the New World Symphony, by Anton Dvorak. The singing of this num- ber, which has a very difficult arrangement, represents a great deal of real work and concentration on the part of the choir and Mr. Nischwitz. The mysterious strain of Listen to the Lambs, by Detts, was also outstanding on the program. As an encore to their Hrst group the choir sang an exceedingly beautiful arrange- ment of the chorale, Commit Thy Ways, from the St. Matthew Passion, by Johann Sebastian Bach. In the course of the season the choir appeared at many other functions held throughout Youngstown and vicinity. They were praised for their work at an evening service at St. .lohn's Church in Sharon: they also presented a program for the Northern Ohio Organists' Convention at First Presbyterian Church. In October, a group of students from the Rayen Music Department were selected to sing in the N. E. O. T. A. Chorus at the convention held in Cleve- land. This chorus was made up of young singers chosen from high schools throughout northeastern Ohio and was directed by Mr. Olaf Christiansen. Mr. Yaus of Rayen, was our sectional chairman and Mr. Nischwitz directed the boys' number in the program at Cleveland. The choir played an important part in Rayen's Autumn Concert and The Mid-Winter Carnival, presenting special numbers on both programs. Many choir members were prominent in the Dixie Melody Minstrelsf' A very successful season was rounded out with the production of the Annual Spring Festival in May at Stambaugh Auditorium. The rollicking musical comedy, Ship Ahoy, was staged in a very professional manner with members of the A Capella Choir in the principal roles. In conclusion, may we say that in realizing the excellent training that we have received through Mr. Nischwitz in the Rayen Music Department we are truly thankful for this great opportunity and hope to continue through life with this sincere love for fine music which we have developed during our years in Rayen. -:if Page Eighty-fifue we 1935 THE RAYEN ANNUAL 1935 4 i if Page Eighty-sfx E+ Z5 F2 THE RAYEN GLEE CLUBS 1935 THE RAYEN ANNUAL 1935 ....c u IIE ay... THE RAYEN GLEE CLUBS fx HE Rayen Glee Clubs, under the direction of Mr. Nischwitz, are rapidly becoming one of the highlights of the Music department. FQ N an enrollment of fifty members. It has now increased in member- x ,vfmxgljl ship to four hundred, who are divided into two groups forming ' U7 ' the third period and the fourth period glee clubs. 5 When the organization first started, about live years ago, there was 'QF J ei .Ca A A very successful season was launched at the first concert. The Boys' Glee Club sang the stirring tune Gypsy Life, while the Girls' Glee Club gave their interpretation of the May Dance. The Junior Choir' sang King Jesus is a-Listenin', in close harmony, while Jean Grippe, Vivian Kane, and Lois Jean Wilhelm entertained with gay songs and dances. At the Minstrel show, given January sixteenth and seventeenth, the Girls' Glee Club upheld their high standing by singing Silent Starlit Night, a soft, beautiful number, while the boys overflowed with tales of A'Down South. The Junior Choir sang the Negro prisoner's song Water Boy. In addition to this, Barbara Jean McBride and Lois Jean Wilhelm demonstrated their talents as directors of a very clever group dance, Stars and Stripes Forever, a Military tap. Dancers included: Jean Grippe, Frances Zurbrick, Nettie Bell Harrison. Virginia Otterman, Mirriam Bowden, Alta Jean McDonald, Mary Jean Schultz, Vivian Kane, Dorothy Brown, Virginia Siefert, Blanche Riddle, and Esther Groeschen. Vivian Kane, Jean Grippe, Barbara McBride, and Lois Jean Wilhelm took part in another clever group dance, Ladies of the Gay '90's. Dressed as women who had just stepped out of an 1890 style book, these talented dancers entertained in rhythmic tap to the music of Take Me Out to the Ball Park. A good evening's work came to a close with the entire company rendering An Earful of Music. Each program only added to the zest of every member to gain that coveted distinction of being a part of the A Capella Choir. The keen competition to get this distinction was made known at the last performance of the year which was a musical comedy Ship Ahoy! Music and lyrics by Ted Williams. The two glee clubs played the parts of tourists on board the ship S. S. Bel Santo. This gay festival showed more. of the' talent of the music department than any previous performance. The year came to an end with each person being well paid for his earnest work. Many students at Rayen wonder how they too may become one of the Music department. The third period glee club is the starting point of music experience. There Mr. Nischwitz tests voices to lind out the kind of tone each pupil's voice has. He also gives instructions on breathing and posture while singing. He tries to have each person sing in the particular tone into which the individual voice fits. Every year more students from the Glee Club become eligible for the A Capella Choir, and for this reason Mr. Nischwitz is very careful whom he chooses to fill the vacancies in the choir. Looking forward to a more successful year Mr. Nischwitz welcomes any new members who are willing to co-operate with him and the rest of the club and those who will look forward to the advancement of music in Rayen School. -:ff Page Eighty-sefven He :ft 1935 THE RAYEN ANNUAL 1935 I ejf Page Eighiy-right We 15 S?

At the second meeting in November thirteenth, Judge Erskine Maiden, Jr., a graduate of Rayen, explained in detail the theory and practice of extradition and contrasted the court system in the United States with that in England. The meeting was closed with a few selections by some members of the band. The December meeting also dealt with courts. The meeting opened with a violin solo by Phoebe Jane Dixon, accompanied by Mary Elizabeth Stevenson. Since George Renner was unable to be present to speak to the club, Mr. Tear took his place. Mr. Tear described the federal, state, and local court systems in the United States, At its January meeting the History Club launched for the next semester a new plan which will draft each member of the Club into active service. The club was divided into ive groups for study under Miss Barger, Mr. Marstellar, Mr. Pickering, Miss Roth, and Miss Wallis. The students were to choose any of the five following subjects to study: Crime, Slum Elimination, World Peace, the Far East, and International Trafiic in Arms and Courts. The February meeting was also of an entirely different nature. Miss Esther Hamilton of the Youngs- town Telegram gave some very interesting facts about the Hauptmann kidnaping trial at Flemington, New Jersey. Then Dorothy Mathews played two selections on the accordion. Next some members of the History Club presented a mock trial. Carl Raupple gave a brief resume of the play written by Jacob Coxey, and Harry Oster. The characters were portrayed by Dorothy Siegel, Paul Smith, William Herald, Robert Leighninger, Ted Corcoran, Allen Foxman, David Brody, George Silver, Gerald Katz, Eugene Butch, and Lawrence Stone. The remaining meetings were arranged by the various study groups. For the March meeting Miss Wallis's group gave a debate on Resolved that: Gov- ernment ownership of munition factories would prevent war. The affirmative was presented by Elsie Chazanoff, George Silver, and Allen Eoxmang the nega- tive, Cecily McNamara, Harold Gefsky, Thomas O'Dea, and William Smalley. Carl Raupple assisted in preparing the debate. The judges, Mr. Hykes, Mr. Marstellar, and Mr. Pickering, declared the affirmative side the winners by a vote of two to one. At the April meeting Mr. Pickering's group gave a meeting on the Ear East, and in May Miss Barger's and Mr. Marstellar's group went together to present a program on the subject of Crime. The History Club has prospered well so far, and each member has been able to get much from the meetings this year. Each year the Club finds something both new and old to learn, and in a time when current history is of such great importance, the Club has proved more valuable than ever to its members. -:gf Page Eighly-nine Ee - 1935 THE RAYEN ANNUAL 1935 P5 U B Q THE ENGLISH CL -:Sf Page lvfnely Pj!- 1935 THE RAYEN ANNUAL 1935 .nU 1,qan ENGLISH CLUB Wm, LTHOUGH the English Club is one of Rayen's newer clubs, it QQ Jia! h . . . . . . .

Officers were appointed temporarily, until an election might be held. The scho- lastic standard was maintained: students who wish to be members of the club must have a grade of A or B in English. At the October meeting the following officers were elected: George Peifer, president: Allen Foxman, vice president, Mary Beth Warwick, secretary: Anas- tasia Norton, treasurer, and Donna Henne, program chairman. A few musical numbers followed: a current event report was given by David Schwebel. Barbara Parker gave an interesting reading of two poems, but the main event of the after- noon was a clever play, Spot Cash. This comedy featured Mary Funcheon, George Peffer, and Allen Foxman. A debate on the subject, Resolved: That the Chinese and Japanese should be admitted into the United States under the quota of other nations, brought forth a heated discussion at the November meeting. After due deliberation, the judges decided that the affirmative side had presented the argument in a con- vincing manner. Members who took part in the debate were: Edward Birnberg, David Brody, Allen Foxman, Catherine Henery, Helene Ciber, Sara Cwiblin, and Anastasia Nemenyi: the judges were Miriam Harr, Lutz Flynn, and Albert Monus. Bessie Slavin read a prologue to the play Hot Lemonade, which was presented by Miriam Harr, William Pfau, Joseph Phillips, and Morton Spero. Sherbert Weiss was the program chairman of this meeting. The Christmas meeting opened with several Christmas carols played by Clay Folsom, Christie Thaw, and Natalie Weininger. Sol Joseph recited the famous poem 'Twas the Night Before Christmas. After the refreshments, the program closed with songs and resolutions for the new year. February 7, 1935, was the day on which the first meeting of the year was held. New officers were appointed as follows: Mary Beth Warwick, president: Anastasia Norton, vice president: Anne Ugran, secretary, and Edward Birnberg, treasurer. Sol Joseph was appointed program chairman for the next meeting. Mr. Charles Leedy, of the Telegram, was the main speaker at the meeting on March 20. Morton Spero directed a short one-act play Where But In Amer- ica. The last feature of the program was a discussion of current topics by Elsie Chazanoif. ' Ah! the May meeting was a mixture of emotions. This was the closing party of the year and the farewell meeting for some of the senior members. The events of the afternoon were a few instrumental numbers, a short dramatization, and farewell speeches. After refreshments were served, the last club meeting was adjourned. The past year has been a successful one in the achievements of the aims and ideals of the club. The future of the club is very promising and offers new adventure for the students of Rayen. -if Page Nineiy-one 121- W , P 1935 THE RAYEN ANNUAL 1935 225 9 THE FRENCH CLUB -:gf Page Ninely-in-o E4- Q, ,V ' .- N r- . , f ai' if A Xl 'qj 1. f E 1-W J ' TG' J 1 C1 il 1, If 1 ' fhf X .10 f 154 Q T .', clit-I V i7T'sicrw I 1' T' 1935 THE RAYEN ANNUAL 1935 ...air an IIE fy...

The first meeting was held on October thirtieth, and was conducted by Dorothy Siegel and Robert Tornello. The program was unusually novel and amusing. Room 306 was suddenly converted into a broadcasting station with Robert Tornello as the announcer. The features of the program incluled: Nancy Brockett as Lady Astoria, assisted by Trenor Hannan: Mary Carney as Miss Sophie: Israel Cohen as the Strong-Man , and Wellington Althof, Jr., as Frank Buck. Maxine Adler read a bed-time story. A French anecdote and a play, Jeanne D'Arc, were dramatized. As a fitting climax, selections were played by the newly organized French Club orchestra. Margaret Mathews and Donald Sullivan were co-chairmen for the No- vember meeting. Musical selections preceded reviews of the birthdays of some famous French people. An amusing imitation of a French correspondence school was presented by Joan Veach and Donald Sullivan, who recited the French they had learned in ten easy lessons. To show them just how French should be pro- nounced, James McGuire and Clifford McCreery spoke in the flawless French taught them by Miss Thomas. Cupid the Dentist, an entertaining play, was then performed. Christmas songs and music concluded the program. Because of the death of Donald Sullivan, one of our most active members, the January meeting of the French club was postponed. Since Jacob Coxey, president, and Margaret Mathews, vice president, grad- uated in January, another election was necessitated. Murray Stedman was chosen president, and Christine Thaw, vice president. Under the direction of our new leader, at the February meeting, after the entire club participated in a game of conversation, a play, 'AL'Anglais Tel Qu'on Le Parle, was presented under the direction of Cecily McNamara and Julianna Strausbaugh. The March meeting was a gala affair. It was a costume party, held in the gym, with Isobel Duby as chairman, and Christine Thaw and Ted Corcoran as vice chairmen. Each of the five advanced French classes presented a part of the program. The 3-A class enacted the well-known fairy tale, Snow-White, while the 3-B class dramatized A'Cinderella: one 2-A class produced a farce on an old-fashioned play representing the gay nineties. The members of the other 2-A class represented movie, stars, showing promising talent in their midst. The 2-B class, our most infantile group, very appropriately featured a doll-shop. With John Bare as chairman, and Mary Beth Warwick, vice chairman for the April meeting, and Murray Stedman, chairman, and Sue Carson, vice chair- man for the one held in May, the entertainments were as successful as those of the earlier meetings. And thus the French Club has succeeded this year in carrying on the tradi- tions established by its predecessors. May it continue to thrive and increase in ability in the years to come! eff Page Nincly-three file 1 f' cw 1.

Over twelve thousand young journalists from schools which are outstanding in the quality of their publication work wear the gold badge of this society. According to the constitution of Quill and Scroll, its membership must be chosen from the students enrolled in high school who at the time of election to membership have been outstanding or superior in their journalistic endeavor. Rayen School was honored January 15, 1934, when it was granted a char- ter from this society for the outstanding quality of the work done on the 1933 year book. Mr. Erck was appointed the first member and supervisor and was vested with the power to organize a chapter. Last year, Wylie Judd, Bessie Sissman, LaVerne Sutherland, and Dee Andella became members. This year Edward Corcoran, Ruth Wilson, William Herald, Mary Beth Warwick, and Robert Leighninger were made regular mem- bers of the Rayen chapter. Miss Betty Hamilton, a member of the faculty com- mittee for several years, was awarded an honorary membership and welcomed into our chapter. -:Sf Page Ninety-four ,Qs l935 THE RAYEN ANNUAL 1935 ....p- Il IIQEQ' 9.... THE LATIN CLUB NOVEL arrangement was used this year for the organization of the Latin Club. Previously, students from all the classes had formed one club, but it was considered better this year to divide the club and let each section meet separately to study subjects related to its individual WWW group. Each section had its own oflicers. David Heames was presi- dent of the H-A group with Gina Saulino as secretary, and A. Stanley Dreyfus was president of the Il-B group, with Alice Gulanick as secretary. During the meetings we became the schoolmates of two boys of ancient Rome, Publius and Furianus, sons of wealthy Romans. We lived with them, examining the Roman house and furnishings, contrasting it with ours. We peered into the wealth of Roman tradition and beliefs, noting their marriage and funeral ceremonies. We met famous authors whose works are revered today, we noticed woman's position in Rome: we attended a session of the Senate. In company with the boys, we made the hazardous trip to Greece. There we studied philosophy with them in Athens, went to Delphi to see the Oracle, and marveled over the beauties of Grecian architecture-the Acropolis, the glori- ous Parthenon, the Erectheum. We studied the great heroes of Greece and Rome. Finally we returned to Rome and watched the boys grow to manhood and serve their country. Music, both vocal and instrumental, found a place in the program, and games CPueri erunt puerij that were not only fun but an aid to Latin vocabu- lary were played Umagno gaudio omnibus g these were excellent Ways of pro- moting good fellowship. The Latin Club closed another successful year with its annual picnic or roundup at Mill Creek Park, an affair which was of exceedingly great interest to all members. -if Page Ninety-five Bs- 1935 THE RAYEN ANNUAL l935 ...als yu..

HOME ECONOMICS CLUB Q'?ase'pijQF1gI'AVE the girls of Rayen proved that the adage You can't mix busi- ness with pleasure is a fallacy through the formation of their Home 0 fj Economics Club? One would be forced to think so, if the consensus of opinion is to be taken as a criterion. The girls have derived a great tt -Cr deal of pleasure, as well as knowledge, from the meetings of this prominent school organization. The club was governed during the year I934-35 by the following officers: Mary Lou Policy, President, Ann Petrarca, Vice-President: Theresa Vallati, Secretary: and Mary Bradley, Treasurer. Supplemented by the various commit- tee heads who were: Mary Donnan, Social Chairman: Anita Battafarano, Pro- gram Chairmang Grace Hagerty, By-Laws Chairman, Helen Dornstetter, Editor. The club wished to have a variety of programs, and so the executives in- troduced the system of having the social committee combine with the business activities to present the program one month, with the program committee acting along with the business session to present the program the following month. In December a Christmas party was held with the Yuletide customs being observed. The January meeting was one of the best of the year. Flora and Theresa Tullis, of South High School, entertained the club with songs and piano selections. This meeting was also marked with the appearance of Miss Marcella Shultz, noted beauty expert, who spoke on The Art of Make-up. She used Margaretta Gulanick as her model and presented her subject in a most in- teresting manner. The girls are most grateful to Miss Lucille Hawkins, the Club adviser, for her splendid guidance during the past year. -:H Page Ninety-sefven +3- 1935 THE RAYEN ANNUAL 1935 ...qt ll U ap...

Miss Mollie Russell led an interesting discussion on Etiquette, and later a forum, on Crime, was presented by Mr. Ray Thomas. The Y. M. C. A. Cafeteria presented a course in Home Economics, which a number of HI-Y fellows attended. A Back-To-School Dance early in September started the club's social ac- tivities. Torch Club and HI-Y had a farmers' dance December 14, which proved unique. Doris Loveland was chosen Sweetheart of HI-Y at the annual Valen- tine Dance in the NU?Elms Ballroom. Informal affairs were enjoyed during the year, including swimming parties, a scavenger hunt, and a stag supper honoring retiring ofHcers. The climax of the year was a private dinner-dance held at Twee-Crest Inn on April 5. There have been instructive speakers at the meetings, among whom were Mr. Herr, Mr. Ellis, and Mr. Stewart. Walter Forman and Joseph Seefried coached the basketball team, whose members were William Ford fcaptainD, Frank Gonzales, William Coombs, Murray Stedman, Donald Balch, Hastings Trigg, Walter Flores, John Bare, and Alex Gordon.

In sports the Rayen Torch Club Won the Torch Club Championship and added to the athletic laurels of the Orange and Black, While in education the Hi-Y Forums have proved to be the same source of invaluable information they have been in the past. In social events chief among the activities is the annual private dance in May, an event for the younger set during the Spring social season. The Father and Son Banquet and Ritual, a most impressive ceremony, is a part of the initia- tion. The Stag Party is the get-together where the boys hold the election of oflicers and have a real good time. The Club elects oflicers semi-annually and chose for the lirst semester: Pres- ident, Robert Ricksecker: Vice President, Harrison Cramerg Secretary, Jerome King: Treasurer, John Steeves. The second semester Norman Zimmerman was president, David Leighninger, vice president, John Steeves, secretary, and Rob- ert Coyne, treasurer.

Booth Tarkington's comedy, The Trysting Place, was the club's first ambitious production. Who can forget Bertha VanWingerden as the susceptible middle-aged widow who meets her former sweetheart, David Brody? Especial- ly appreciated were Jack Steuerwald's passionate courting of Ruth Wilson and the tender love-making of Ruth Gill and Joseph Carter. The club was fortunate enough to obtain as guest speaker, Mr. Hubbard Kirkpatrick, manager of the Playhouse, who discussed stagecraft and offered a few friendly suggestions and his aid in the club's projects. Mr. Diehm, South High Dramatics Coach, told the members of his experiences in dramatics and encouraged their efforts. In February a new cabinet was elected, composed of David Brody, presi- dentg Sidney Kline, vice presidentg Barbara Fleming, secretary: and Joseph Car- ter, treasurer. Mr. Franklin Butler gave a short talk at the March meeting, and Mary Beth Warwick and David Brody gave a reading of Suppressed Desires, a farce by Glaspell. The Obstinate Family, a comedy, was given at the Playhouse Forum by a cast made up of Hortense Friedland, Joseph Kaufman, Mary Cappuzzello, George Silver, Virginia Lee, and John Bare. The Dramatic Club wishes to thank Miss Moody, Miss Mary Rogers, and Stella Cassano for their help and encouragement throughout a successful year. -:Lf Page One Hundred One Rc' - 1935 THE RAYEN ANNUAL 1935 gli' im The Rayen Girls' String Qqintette if HE Rayen Girls' String Quintette which first came to public notice when it playediin the Autumn Concert of 1932 consistedlof Martha Shaner, Katherine Katz, Phoebe Jane Dixon, and Christine Thaw.

The , 0' Gxnb average student of one of our modern high schools with its varied VL buildings, may take his advantages all for granted: yet for all its 14- . QQ excellence the American high school experienced a humble begin- ning in the founding of the Boston Latin School in 1635. The early colonists of Massachusetts were determined that learning should not be forgotten even in the great work of settling a new world: consequently. just five years after they had landed at Boston Harbor, these sturdy pioneers made provision for the higher education of their youth. At a town meeting of the freemen of Boston the following order was made: Likewise it was generally agreed upon that our brother Philemon Par- mont shall be entreated to become schoolmaster for the teaching and nurturing of the children with us. Thus was founded the Boston Latin School, the first secondary school in America. This school, supported by private donation and the rental of certain islands in the harbor, prospered well under the tutelage of its master, who had been educated in the long established universities of the Old World. The chief task of Master Parmont was to prepare his pupils for entrance into the newly founded Harvard College. The tiled halls, industrial shops, and spacious gymnasiums of our high schools are a far cry from this first early school. The small one-room building was constructed of logs cut from the surrounding forests. Inside, the rude benches had been hewn by the settlers from the same source, A sharp New England wind whistled through the openings between the logs. In one corner a group of small boys huddled together and studied over two copies of the Bible -books were rare in the colony. Master Parmont and the young men were seated around the great open fireplace, where he was teaching a lesson in Latin grammar. All were dressed in coarse homespun garments. Near the door stood the boys' musketsg for these stalwart, young students had ever to be ready for attacks from the savages. . With the founding of Benjamin Eranklin's Academy in Philadelphia toward the middle of the eighteenth century, we see the transition which took place in the Latin grammar schools toward a more practical curriculum. In addition to Latin, the new academy included English and Mathematics and many of the new schools were devoted to the education of girls while others were co-educa- tional. In time, the academy received recognition as the outstanding institution of secondary education which it held until the first public high school was es- tablished in Boston in 1821 and when Central High School, Chicago, the first co-educational high school, opened thirty-five years later. We see that secondary education has passed through many stagesg the Latin grammar school to the academy to the free co-educational high school of today, each essential in view of the growing needs of democracy. Therefore, in this Tercentenary celebration let us pay homage to the achievements of the past: but with the great masses of unemployed youth and the problems of adult education facing us, let it also be a time for considering the work yet to be done in making the high school an even more effective aid to society.

This was Thanksgiving, the day of the big game. Zggwiiln H7 e. ' And the . . . but let one of the players tell you: A'Every one of us was trembling with excitement. Coach Lansing didn't say much to us, for there was no need, we all knew that this was the biggest game of the season and we had to win. Before we knew it, we were lined up ready for the kick-off. There wasn't a player on that field who could forget that kick-off! A whistle!-A ball!-And we were off! And who wouldn't remem- ber that first tackle-grabbing madly for a pair of thrashing legs, half blinded by the mud, then slithering a few yards in that field of sloppy muck. After the first few moments, however, the tension ceased somewhat, and the remainder was almost like any other game. The first touchdown came midway in the second quarter, when Rosselli. fading back from the line of scrimmage to pass, pivoted suddenly and shot a long aerial to Desimone, who crossed the line untouched. Then, in the third quarter, South, in midfield, tossed a pass-and Desimone, seemingly to come from nowhere, snagged it and, after sidestepping four South players, raced 52 yards for the second touchdown After these two goals, the remainder of the points were easily scored, ending the game with a score of Cnineteen to nothingj --19 to 0-favor of Rayen!

The Geography Club was organized in March, this year, under the spon- sorship of Miss Roth, and boasts a membership comprising 40 present and for- mer students of geography. The Club has chosen for its president Stefiie Yoz- wiak, a very capable leader, with Ruth Henry as its secretary. Hazel Wollet with the aid of Betty Stiver and Hazel Cargill constitutes the program committee. The Geography Club has chosen their programs with care, while their guest speakers have contributed much to the information as well as the entertain- ment of the members. The meetings, which were held upon the first Thursday of each month, have accordingly been most successful. A splendid talk was given at the opening meeting by Miss Keck, and Miss Dennison of the faculty of Hayes Junior High School delivered an interesting talk at the second meeting. Thus with such an imposing beginning, the Geog- raphy Club takes its place with the many other outstanding clubs of Rayen. -:ff Page One Hundred Six Ee 1935 THE RAYEN ANNUAL 1935 ...mfr 210-- VARSITY R CLUB 'fxc HE Rayen Varsity R Club, which can now boast a membership of one hundred and seventy-live active members and alumni, was or- ganized under Coach Bevan in 1928. To qualify, each boy must secure a letter in one of the recognized high school sports. 24.2 'vi J' ' , o- Meetings which are devoted to the discussion of various sports are held twice a month. At the November meeting Coach Lansing very obliging- ly displayed interesting pictures of previous Rayen football games. In December the receipts from a game between Varsity members and alumni provided funds which were used to help seniors buy their Varsity R gold pins. Initiation of new members was held in January. Spring activities of the club in May consisted of extensive preparation for the Northeastern Qhio track meet, which was held at Rayen for the third con- secutive year. A picnic in June concluded a most active period for the club. The officers for this year are Dominic Rosselli, president: Stephen James, vice president, and Patrick Pachell, secretary-treasurer. The faculty members are: Mr. Lansing, Mr. Russ, Mr. Ellis, Mr. Thomas, Mr. Erck, Mr. Pickering, and Mr. Senft. LIBRARY jpg' fly O many Rayen students, the library is a lifesaver because they can rush to it to look up an author or to read a poem just before class. We have become so accustomed to our library that we really do not appreciate its value and help. The Rayen library was first established 497935 as an individual unit of the school through the thoughtfulness of Margaret Rayen Parmalee, niece of Judge Rayen. Each year a new fortune in books is added to the library. These books are donated by classes, clubs, the Board of Education, and individuals. Besides books, the library has a show case. This gives the clubs, teachers, and students an opportunity to exhibit their collections and treasures. A bust of George Washington keeps vigil over the every busy desk. His comrades of watch are Benjamin Franklin and Mercury. The library subscribes to scientific, nature, and literary magazines. These total about 19 in number. The French magazine, L'lllustrat1on, is given by the French department. Students interested in library work are under the guidance of Miss Harding before or after school and during study periods. Those who are members of the class this year are: Jayne Booth, Mary Cappuzzello, Betty Jane Clark, Jane O'Hara, Jean Sause, Lillian Roth, Cecilia Kalasky, Jane Lyman and Rosemary Woods. The practical quality of this work is shown by the fact that two of the girls are now working at the Public Library, Philomena Fish, who is a member of the staff, works in the reference room, and Rosemary Woods in the children's room. -elif Page One Hundred Seven E+ 1935 THE RAYEN ANNUAL 1935 ...ole 00 THE STAMP CLUB 93.0, T Rayen there may be found clubs for those interested in languages in economics in athletics and in stamp collecting. Until compara f-Xe A '-X4 Y gl tively recent times there was no such organization at Rayen, yet. 1 H 5 5 ' Y I K ll Y! flrfaw despite its newness this club has served as a real hand of unit among all the embryo philatelists in Rayen. Finding that it was necessary to re-organize the Stamp Club this year, a group of devoted followers of the King of Hobbies and Hobby of Kings, held an impromptu meeting November 19 with Miss Craver, the faculty's stamp enthusiast. Much was accomplished at this initial meeting-a new Stamp Club was born. Miss Craver graciously consented to be sponsor of the club, and tem- porary oflicers were elected: A. Stanley Dreyfus, president, Bella Bernstein, vice president, Robert Greer, secretary and treasurer, and Bernard Balmuth in charge of publicity. The members, realizing that it was necessary to call public attention to the club in some way, determined to hold a stamp auction. Leo Middleman, posses- sor of a stentorian voice, was chosen auctioneer, with Cynthia Tidd his secre- tary, and Milton Goldman, in charge of publicity for the auction held in De- cember. The mid-year elections were held in January. A. Stanley Dreyfus was re- elected president, while Charlotte Stein, vice president, and Robert Marshall, secretary and treasurer, were the new oficers. A committee composed of Cynthia Tidd, George Silver, and Beryl Dent drew up a constitution for the club. During the spring all energies were directed toward a large stamp display with which the Rayen Stamp Club closed a successful year. Rayen Needs An Auditorium ihpjjwgfs OES Rayen need an Auditorium? One has only to sit for a few mo- ? ments on the hard wooden benches of our bleachers to answer that Q question. It is, indeed, a fine tribute to the class of entertainment W' 9 afforded b Ra en and the s irit of her atrons, that she usually ,ia V Y Y , P P , , , 'plays to a full house, despite the fact that the audience must sit in physical discomfort, Every school is entitled to an Auditorium sufliciently large to house and comfortably seat, at least, a fair portion of those who are interested in the school's activities. But Rayen can make no such boast. Rayen-the oldest school in the city, with all her traditions and pride, as a school, stands last in its ability to provide adequate stage and seating facilities for dramatic and musical efforts. Something must be done. Even many of the junior high schools have auditoriums, while Rayen, unsurpassed in faculty and equipment is far behind the times in public entertainment facilities. It is with a feeling of inferiority that we go to another school or audito- rium to hold our public gatherings, and likewise, it is with a feeling of inferior- ity that we ask our distinguished speakers fand we have had quite a fewj to stand against a pillar so that, at least, a few of us may hear their messages at our assemblies. Conditions such as this must not go on! Come! Loyal Rayen- ites! Join in the cry. We need an Auditorium! if Page One Hundred Eight 124- l935 THE RAYEN ANNUAL 1935 ...df- 9 IIE q.... Qur New Principal--F. F. HERR T j R. HERR, since 1904 a well-known member of the Rayen faculty, became our principal in September. Rumors had spread that we could no longer have lockers with our best friends, or talk in the halls, and we prepared ourselves for many changes. Instead, the regular routine U-199-W of the last few years has carried on, and we have noticed very little difference in the school program. Mr. Herr has concerned himself especially with encouraging good scholar- ship and co-operation. He is working to make school a more pleasant place, and we find him humorous, impartial, and genial- a real guy. We do find it rather disconcerting to see him unexpectedly looking in the windows or walking quietly down the aisle. Whenl he inquires enthusiastically what kind of sandwiches we have in our lunches, we often offer him the extra one we brought along just in case. Those who have had him as a teacher say that his favorite expressions are be that as it may, and as it were, and his hobby, derivation of words. He himself confesses to a love of tinkering with old clocks and dunking cookies. Mr. Herr graduated from Western Reserve and also passed the bar eXam. He taught a year in the high school at Lorain, Ohio, before coming here. His character and culture have ideally fitted him for his work, and since we had to lose Mr. Miller, students and faculty agree that Rayen School was fortunate to have had Mr. Herr selected as its new principal. l.g.1 Rayen's New Trophy Case AYEN has recently'added to 'its equipment a much-needed trophy case to hold the various trophies' which hand previously been distrib- uted all over the building. Although a dr1ve for funds to build the case had been conducted by Mr. Miller last spring, the installation of fi'i'k3- the finished product was an agreeable surprise to the students when they returned to school in September. The oaken cabinet is fitted with three glass shelves. The first shelf contains tennis and track trophiesg the second, footballs and cups won in city and state title gamesg the third, basketballs and their accompanying trophies. Miscella- neous awards line the bottom, among them that of the l928 award for the only undefeated high school football team in the state of Ohio. The total cost of materials used in the construction of the case was three hundred dollars, and the plate glass alone is worth one hundred dollars. Mr. Barnhill and Mr. Simpson share honors in the designing and building of the cabinet, which was completed within three weeks. Rayen students take pardon- able personal pride in the possession of such a useful and decorative addition to the school, especially since the trophy case represents popular donations by the student body. -if Page One Hundred Nine E4- ii 1935 THE RAYEN ANNUAL 1935 ...als 01...

Every member of the music department, vocal and instrumental, ,eagerly awaited that fateful day when the entire morning would be devoted to dress rehearsal, and incidentally, entirely free from the daily grind of class-rooms. lt was, indeed, a fine performance. The Rayen Band, of which we are so rightly proud, presented to the appreciative audience a varied program. The chimes number, A'Lead Kindly Light, has always been a favorite of the audi- ence, this year Jack Sutherland was at the chimes, assisted by the A Capella Chorus which sang from behind the scenes. Dee Andella, William Schofield, and Ernest Zenk each took the baton in turn to direct the orchestra. Sharing equal honors with the band, the vocal department presented Ship Ahoy. The most attractive features of the operetta were the humor and the melodies. Nancy Warwick played the part of the heroine with finesse. Ted Corcoran, who for the past two years, has taken the part of the bold, bad villain, displayed his versatile talent in the role of the hero. The villain was Joseph Phillips, a bad count who threatened the charming heroine. Joe is only a junior, and so we have prospects of a future villain in him. Gustav Rufus Rundatti, better known to us as Grey McKenrick, and his aide Boris, played by Robert Schultz, contributed much to the merriment and delight of the audience. Jane Percival and Gomer Jones played the part of sweethearts realistically, including the usual misunderstandings of lovers. The chief fun-maker was Richard Miller. Virginia Lee was very good as the aunt who especially liked royalty. Robert Harley, as captain, guided the S. S. Bel Santo to port. Miriam Bowden played the part of a pretty little waitress. Richard Harley took the ine part of the heroine's father. The festival was a great success and special laurels go to Mr. Grover Yaus and Mr. Waldemar Nischwitz, Rayen's competent music directors. .lm-.

U. Hulin, a prominent retired educator of the valley. The donor has spent a major por- tion of his life working in the in- terests of better educationg and this gift is a further manifestation of his efforts. Mr. Hulin has many interests out- side of the educational field, promi- nent among which is a study of the lives of Washington and Lincoln. As an outgrowth of this interest Mr. Hulin made a survey of our local schools to see how many had pictures of these two American heroes. The result of this survey was the gift to several different schools of a picture of one of these men. The Miller Memorial The faculty has planned to honor Mr. E. P. Miller, former principal of Rayen, with a bronze tablet. This plate will bear names of the prin- cipals of Rayen with terms of their services. Names engraved on it are: E. S. Gregory C1866-l878j, A. J. Michaels C1878-18795, M. S. Campbell C1879-18835, M. B. Hill H883-18915, Geo. F. Jewett C1891-19013, W. L. Griswold C1901-19115, E. F. Miller C1911- 19341 A portrait of Mr. Miller is to be another presentation by faculty and members of Junior and Senior classes as a tribute in recognition of his services as principal of Rayen for twenty-three years. The members who will form a permanent memorial committee are Miss Pyle, Miss Barger, Mr. How- land, Miss Lamme, and Mr. Ellis. Plans are being made to honor other Rayen teachers by some permanent memorial. tired Sixteen E+ 1935 THE RAYEN ANNUAL 1935 tau U95 ' W A D E Compliments Of l7 West Federal St. Phone 3-l662 A For 30 years Youngstown Traders.

The Poster Contest The answer to the advertising problem of the Spring Carnival was the 6th Annual Poster Contest, which closed April 17th. This con- test has been growing in popularity among the students until this year's entrance list totaled forty-live. Prac- tically all of these were used by the Rayen Music Department. Perhaps the most outstanding fea- ture which marked this year's group of posters, was the originality in thought and treatment. However, in attaining this unusual feature in a contest of this type, the lettering of many of the posters was not up to standard. The awards for the three most outstanding posters were medals in gold, silver, and bronze. Milton Hirschl's poster, which was marked by balance and forcefulness, received first prize. The second prize went to Albert Vari for a remarkable study in green and yellow. Miriam Teman's poster displayed a very clever illus- tration which was a study in taupe shadows and gave her third place. Honorable mention was given to Kenneth Martin, John Doherty, Bet- tie Pennock, Ed Hlasta, and Vir- ginia Walsh. The judges included: Glenn Rum- mel and Jack Davis of the firm, Rummel 95 Howe Commercial Print- ers and Artists, and Paul Hammond, the Regional Code Authority for the Graphic Arts Industry of Ohio and Pennsylvania. Rayen is proud of this interesting contest and of the students who par- ticipated in it. egf Page One Hundred Twenty lg:- 1935 THE RAYEN ANNUAL 1935 lg 14,339 113 .1....
