THE CHIEFTAI 19 Y 5363150 QK 3 7 'QW .A 'Q f opof Sig a. T.: ' 55' 5 f Q I. Published by the Students of the SENECA VOCATIGNAL HIGH SCI-IDOL 666 EAST DELAVAN AVE. BUFFALO, NEW YORK E TAKE a few sheets of paper, write on them. place a cover over them and call it a book. Some hooks or booklets are scarcely opened before they become waste paperg others are read through and then discarded. The third class of books are read and reread, placed among our choicest possessions and kept forever. YVhy the difference? l have looked through this - a hook filled with pictures and articles - and I, at once, lecl an interest that leads me to want to keep it. Again l ask, why?'l XVould you agree with me when l say it is because of the human element that made it possible? Some boys said YVe want a year book and we will get it. They have succeeded. Then, too, l see pictures of students and reaql the articles written to accompany each cut and this leads my mind to the place where the pictures were takeng to the particular activity and then to the boys I have come to know so well. The invisible atmosphere enveloping the book arrests my interest and I want one to keep. l would be remiss it I did not mention the Senior boys and thank them for their untiring efforts, as I express my appreciation to all others who have helped to make the book what it is - a real credit to our school. ELMER S. Pinaciz OREWORD DR. ELMER PIERCE Our Prinrifvll Emma S. Piaaca, graduating from Alfred University in june 1908, with a degree of Bachelor of Science, was soon to assume the direction of the first voca- tional work in Buffalo. This venture was launched in September 1909 with a class of seventeen boys. From this small beginning he has guided the work until the present registration is 10735 from one room in an old building, to the present building which was erected in 19265 from Seneca Vocational School with its two-year course, to the Seneca Vocational High School which awards four-year State Industrial diplomas to its graduates. ln June, 1927, this son of Alfred was honored by his Alma Mater, in recognition of his work in vocational education, when the degree of Doctor of Pedagogy was conferred on him. The ambition of Ur. Pierce through all these years continues, as he strives for a bigger and better Seneca Voca- tional High School. DAVID NVARN HOFF ,41l1ninistr11ti'zw' Jssislznzt After spending twelve years in the electrical industry as wireman, armature winder, and railway signal electrician, he graduated from the Buffalo State Normal School in the class of 1913. In 1931 the degree of Bachelor of Science in Vocational Education was conferred by the University of Buffalo. lllr. VVarnhoff taught in the Peckham Vocational School for four years and for the past twenty-two years has been a member of the Seneca Vocational High School faculty as electrical instructor, head of the shop department and Admin- istrative Assistant.

Johnny Fresham among themj apparently physically and mentally fit to begin their life work, knocked at the doors of Seneca Vocational High School. Every precaution was taken to determine whether we would qualify for the type of work that would confront us when we should enter industry. IVIany questions were hurled at us by stern-visaged instructors: 'AVVhy have you selected the electrical trade, the machin- ist trade, photography, steam engineering? Our answers were invariably the same: Because I like that type of work. I have tools at home where I try to . . .H Ivly report card ran the gauntlet successfully. I labored through a written examination. I waited. Then came the glad news. I had been accepted. VVhat a weight was lifted from my mind when I heard that I was one of the fortunate ones! Two hundred and fifty-nine boys and I would enter Seneca. Three hundred were turned away. In September, my schedule fVVhat was a schedule, anyway?j was adjusted. English, mathematics, mechanical drawing and shop! VVhat do these names mean at Seneca? I should have liked only the last, but I soon found that I had to take them all. Five weeks passed. Came the examinations. I passed. Oh, this was easy! The tenth week came with a rush. VVhen the storm clouds passed, I found that I had failed math. It was then that I learned about another Seneca phrase: Called upon the carpet. Cold shivers ran up and down my spine. What would they say to me when I was called into the office? I made some discreet inquiries. What I discov- ered was disconcerting, to say the least: They don't say much. They act! Gee, I thought, if I had only studied I might have passed. Gathering the frayed skirts of my courage about me CI really thought about my motherj I reported to the office. Never again will I go on the carpet. Home work for me after this! January examinations . . again I passed. June followed with the same happy results. Walking home with my pal, I joyfully called his attention to my marksg he didn't answer. The following September he was absent. INIy heart ached for him, because it meant a blind-alley job, penalized for life, when a little effort would have assured success. The years have melted away, and hear I am a senior! Iviany of my fellow- students during the last three years have vanished in the past. Commencement is just a matter of a few days.

thoughts, I have, and fondly carry now, With eyes half closed, I shall remember how- Our school, upon the salient ground reclines, Among the emerald lawns, and flowing vines, The inscriptions carved, proclaim its objects high, Just like its towers, stretching to the sky. They both reflect the rising, morning sun, And shadows, tall, they east, when day is done, At night, the giant's eyes shine ruby red, O'er the city from the towers over head. To classes in the morn, we hurried, none, When home time came, we hurried, all and one, Our school, with calm demeanor, does not confide, To stranger, the secrets of its inner side. Ah, but those fond secrets we all know so well, As like our learning, too much on deaf ears fell, And I hear again the motor's steady whine, Amidst the machinery's fitful grind. Imagination upward, outward, swells, I hear again the metallic, ringing bells, Halls still and dead, the moment just foregone, Now, teem with life, and now all are alone. The fire burns low, my reverie is stirred, The lost, sweet memory, lingers and then is blurred, And, like the fire's last symbolic burst of light, The Huttering Hag makes a final, nervous jerk, And points to outward, forward, and life's workg Yet saying, Onward, Boys of Seneca! page 'I'wen'ry-six MR. McDOWELL Melvin McDowell, who had completed 25 years of service as a teacher at Seneca, retired from active service last june. Mac, as he was called by all who knew him, will long be remembered by those with whom he was associated and by those for whom he worked. He was courteous, not as a mere gesture of respect, but rather because of an outflowing heart and a mind at peace with all. He was faithful in whatever it was his to perform and painstakingly he gave each problem his best thought. He was sincere and all trusted him, for they sensed his genuineness and sincerity. He despised shows and sham. His life here lay open to every student. Their problems were his, and now that he has retired from professional life, the faculty and students hope he may live long and prosper. nL':LA4Af'-A G ' .'7'54'c ' MR. HARRY C. THoMPsoN Harry C. Thompson was one of the first electrical instructors connected with Seneca Vocational High School. He entered the school department in june, 1917, and was a regular instructor for day and evening school until june, 1935, when he retired because of his health. During his years of service at Seneca, Mr. Thompson was instrumental in securing the new building and new equipment. He is a resident of the City of Buffalo and an active member of his community. During the experimental years of the use of radio for police work, Mr. Thompson made many tests and was actively engaged with a radio class in maintenance work on the police cars. MR. CARL SCHMIDLIN VVe are happy to report that Mr. Schmidlin, who has been on sick leave for the past two years, is showing steady improvement. We know that this will be welcomed news to all those who have been associated with him at Seneca. For the benefit of the Sophomores and Freshmen who have entered Seneca since Mr. Schmidlin has been ill we are offering a brief history of his case. Mr. Schmidlin was assigned to Seneca as physical director in 1928. Early in 1931 he suffered an attack of encephalites fsleepiing sicknessj. He was able to return to school in Septem- ber, 1931 but a gradual relapse forced him to take sick leave in September, 1935. During the past four years, Mr. Schmidlin has undergone treatments at Stormy Memorial Hospital in Rochester, New York and in the Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minnesota, in addition he has been under observation of various local physicians. At the present time he is being cared for at a clinic in Kenmore. His improvement during the past few weeks has been remarkable. We all extend to Mr. Schmidlin our sincere wishes for a complete recovery and for his return to Seneca in the near future. page 'lwenfy-seven Vocational Training ENECA offers three distinct courses in vocational training. These are electricity, machine shop practice, and photography. This school like all other vocational schools, prepares young men for industry. All courses require four years of training. The students have a half day of shop each day of the four years, or the equivalent of two full years of shop practice. The electrical course is divided into two periods of two years each. The first two years are devoted to acquiring a general idea of all the phases of electricity. During the last two years of the course the young men may specialize in either of two general branches of electricity-communication or power. After given a very sound foundation during the first two years, the future elec- tricians then decide whether they want to study communication or power work. The communication branch is divided into three phases-telephony, telegraphy, and radio. A thorough knowledge of the different telephony systems, including the modern auto- matic system, is acquired in the telephony shops. The telegraphy phase consists of practice in both sending and receiving. Seneca has the distinction of being the only vocational school in this part of the country to own and operate its own broadcasting station, WSVS. This is a great advantage to the radio students as they can get actual experience in station management and control. Besides this experience with the broad- casting stations, the students also are taught the theory of many radio circuits, both transmitting and receiving. The power course is divided into four general branches: the generation of power, the distribution of power, the maintenance of electrical equip- ment, and the repair of electric motors. In power generation the students learn how to manage and operate a steam-electric plant. They are taught how to distribute power economically, methods of measuring power, including a thorough knowledge of switch board, and the automatic control of electric .motors in the power distribution shop. Many experiments are performed on various electrical machinery to determine their operating characteristics in the maintenance of electrical equipment shop. The motor repair shop gives the electricians practice in armature winding and general motor repairing. The course in machine shop practice also includes tool and die making. The machinists receive experience in the operation of machines by working on modern equipment such as the boys will find in industrial shops. This course, like the elec- trical course, is divided into 'two periods of two years each, the first two years being used for a firm foundation in machine shop work, the last two years for specializing in tool and die making. Some of the machines that the boys Work on include lathes, planers, drill presses, and grinders. Among the tools made in machine shop are ham- mers, punches, chisels, scribers, screw drivers, and vises. In addition to being able to make their own tools, these young machinists also learn how to care for their tools and how to keep them in workable condition. Among other distinctions, Seneca is unique in being the only vocational school in this country to offer a course in photography as a definite trade. This course includes both portrait and commercial photography. The department is equipped to carry on all of the activities involved in photography. Instruction is given in taking pictures, developing, printing, enlarging, copying, coloring, and a general theory of motion pictures. Most of the pictures in this yearbook were taken by seniors who will soon find employment in their field. All the above courses are as complete as possible for a school of this kind. Many of the graduates have been very successful in securing and retaining excellent positions in their respective fields. page twenty-eight SHOPS ALTERNATING CURRENT DIRECT CURRENT ARMATURE VVINDING POVVER DISTRIBUTION POXVER GENERATION RADIO TELEPHONY VVIRING MACHINE SHOPS PHOTOGRAPHY The Alternating Current Laboratory MR. WILLIAM T. FISHER Besides the hard work and study involved in the alternating-current course, there are many humorous happenings that take place in the laboratory. John Clor appears to be the champion at blowing the circuit breakers, Roy Grimm, who is always looking for something to eat, has yet to sample a mite of alternating current, Bob Steiger tried to use a transformer on direct current and is wondering why he got no results, Frank hlorrow and Ed Beitz always seem to guess the wrong answers during the oral quizzes which take place after the well-known lectures. ivlr. Fisher our instructor, is trying to get Jack Tony Gehl a job at the Singer Sewing Nlachine Company as a reward for his delightful singing. In the picture the following students are included: E. Beitz, M' I' VV. Bender, E. Chapman, J. Clor, R. Collin, L. Gannon, J. Gehl, G. Grau, R. Grimm, VV. Hahn, J. Kohler, R. Lang, N. Liemherger, D. Mergler, O. Meyer, F. Morrow, E. Reichel, R. Sch-oening, G. Simons, R. Steiger, P. Unetich, E. VViechec. The instructor is Mr. VVilliam J. Fisher. All of these students are Juniors who are pursuing the power course. Direct Current Laboratory MR. DOBBINS The purpose of this shop is to explain how direct- current electricity is gener- ated, transmitted, and used, and to afford an adequate foundation for further study in the application of alter- nating-current electricity to modern practice. We are instructed in the simple but practical form, the operating characteristics of direct-current generators and motors, including the parallel operation of generators. Also we are given in a thorough manner, the most important principles of electrical science in language which the student can understand. A thorough knowledge and understanding of direct current is very essential, since most of the controls in steel mills and other large manufacturing establishments are now operated by direct current. page +l1ir+y Armature Winding Shop MR. THEODORE E. KESSLER The old adage seeing is believing does not hold true for this picture of apparently studious junior classmen. These boys are all good actors, for they all appear to be working. f'Smitty, at the first table to the left, is probably the only one actually working. lVIr. Kessler seems to be quite insistent that Charley Wagner winds his armature properly. Bucki, on hir. Kessler's left, is testing for a ground in an unwound field. Brown is actually rewinding a field. Bennett is the bird whose bean is buried behind the bulb. Hurley. the begoggled student, is mystified by the intricacies of the single phase motor. VVasinger, the ferocious mallet thrower, is calmly inspecting a starting switch. Belcher, the smart boy of the class, is off in the corner, present, but not ac- counted for. However, fooling is not all that is done hereg Mr. Kess- ler sees to that. In this room motors from every school in the city are brought to be re- paired. This work gives the boys enough experience to be able to acquire a job as a motor repair apprentice afte' graduation. Power Distribution Shop MR. RAYMOND A. Paossaa This shop is known to the students taking the power course, as the power distribu- tion shop. As the name im- plies, its purpose is to acquaint the students with the methods of distribution and maintenance of the dif- ferent power systems. The work taken up in this shop includes a theoretical study of alternating currents, methods of measuring power consumption, which gives the young electricians a thorough knowledge of switchboards, industrial maintenance problems and, in addition, the automatic control of electric motors. Although most of the students show keen interest in their work there are some that have other ambitions. George Speth would like to be a jockey in the Kentucky Derby. Pfeil is still looking for a clue that may lead him to an A. C. storage battery. john Grandits is still wondering why his name wasn't mentioned in the all high standing for basketball. page thirty-one POWER GENERATION Steam Engine The engine used in the Industrial Power Generation Plant is a one-cylinder, horizontal Ames Una-Flow. It is a 100 horsepower engine connected to a 75 KVA. alternator and operates at 250 revolutions per minute. After telling so much about the equipment in this shop. I think it would be a good idea to introduce some of the boys who are included in the group: Joe Suto snores in perfect rhythm with the knocking of the steam engine. Lester Boneberg studies Cryptography as a hobby. ls it really a hobby, or is he studying it in order to read his own hand writing? Paul VVitzleben, the slickest looking fellow of the Seniors, tells yarns about the days of old when the New York Central Station was not yet in existence. Henry F. Jozwiak should learn the meaning and spelling of Psychology before he attempts to use it in a sentence again. Ray Schim- mer seems quite worried about his big problem since she left for Florida. Cut Diesel Engine MR. JAMES J. SMITH This machine is a four- cycle, direct-injection, verti- cal Diesel Engine. It is a heavy-duty engine of the latest design, incorporating new features to insure long and satisfactory operation. It was loaned to Seneca by the Worthington Pump and llflachinery Corporation for instruction purposes. It can be operated with natural gas, with gasoline, or as a Diesel, that is, with crude oil. When the engine is run on gas or gasoline, a magneto furnishes the necessary electrical energy to produce combustion. To operate it as a Diesel Engine, the rate of compression must be increased by removing the spacer rings and lowering the head. The magneto and spark plugs are disconnected and combustion is caused by the heat of excessive compression. The crude oil is pumped into a spray nozzle where the oil is vaporized. The engine delivers 25 horsepower and runs at a speed of 514 revolutions per minute. A 220-volt, direct-current generator is connected on the same shaft with the heavy flywheel. page thirty-two Radio MR. LowEL1. C. KITCHIN The radio department for the Seniors is headed by lN'Ir. Lowell C. Kitchin. In this shop the students learn the theory of the operation of receivers and transmitters. During the year many receivers were serviced and much transmitting equipment was built. The boys learned to use all the t6St equipment, including the oscillograph. Robert Zubler, joseph lX'Iaul, and Raymond lleyer have been trying to get the transmitter they built in the shop last summer working, but if they keep on at the rate they are going now, their grandchildren will have to get it going. Harold Spook Beyer has been the best stoo-ge that any Senior could have for forty weeks. john Red Doyle was the best needle-bender fespecially of voltmeter needlesj that lVIr. Kitchin has produced this year. Nick Pardi's chief failings: comb- ing his hair, worrying about the debaters' votes, and read- ing somebody else's news- paper in the control room. lVIany of the boys have a license to operate the short- wave transmitter which they have built and are becoming experts in transmitting and receiving, Second -Year Radio Shop MR. XVILL.-XRD H mi ENDINGER In the second-year radio shop the students study the theory and design of simple radio sets. They start by building simple one-tube sets. As they gradually advance in knowledge more complicated connections are attempted. XVhen the time comes for the boys to change to another shop they have a good foun- dation of the principles of radio. The ever-advancing partners, Richard Gorka and Kenneth VVolff, mistook their radio set for a pile of solder drippings. After coiling a thousand feet of black and white radio hook-up wire, xvlllldlll Stahura went into a trance and began relating tales of his pal's alma-mater, Alcatraz. After being properly instructed by our most able instructor, M1'. Hemendinger, Franklin VVinkleman proceeded to connect the ground wire to the tloor boarding and the antenna to the rafters. He then toddled away to a corner and began to cry because of his failure to receive a signal. In con- clusion one must admit that much is gained in the second-year radio course. page 'thirty-'three Telephony Shop MR. SCHALL The fellows in Mr. Schall's telephony shop have been there since September specializing in telephony. These fellows work in pairs, each pair having special duties to perform and special jobs to complete. Speaking of completing jobs, everyone is wondering how many times Wahl fthe human broadcasting stationj has rewired the remote-control power cabinet on Mr. Schall's desk since the beginning of the year and still hasn't made it work. The only partners in the shop who seem to do an equal amount of work on their job of building a dictaphone for Mr. Schall are Halsted and House. House does all the work and Flash Halsted does all the criticizing. Since the football season ended Wooler hasn't been able to find an excuse for his loafing. We would like to conclude this V article with a comment on Mr. Schall, but we are afraid of the consequences. Second -Year Telephony Shop MR. LYLE J. HARRISON In the telephony shop the boys are taught how to repair and construct many telephone systems. Of course, the boys know their work but a few pull boners.,' James Berry put this answer on his paper: an A battery gives alter- nating current and a B battery gives direct current. The Don Juan, Angelo Vernale, walks around in a daze singing love songs. Stanley jarosz was a few jobs ahead of the rest of the class, so he began to fool around. This did not last long, however. The teacher soon caught up with him, with the result that Stan has decided to do his work quietly and mind his own business. We have some boys who are always down to work, they are, Richard Gorka, Edward Wisniewski, Robert Evans and Paul Rosenow. In order to make this summary of our telephony shop complete, I will tell of our current-tracing genius, Virgil Tremblay. That fellow can trace a current from Hong Kong, China, to Sing Sing, New York. page thirty-four First-Year Wiring Shop MR. FRED VV. BENDER A course in lighting circuits is one of the variety of courses given to the Freshmen in the electrical shops. This course consists of common lighting circuits that are used in the wiring of a building. It trains the student in the use of various types of switches and the correct method of installation according to the rules and regulations of the National Fire Underwriter's Association. The first-year work is all open work so that the student can see all the connections. During the first year, the student also studies the fundamental relations of the current, voltage, and resistance as applied through the use of the various applications of the Ohm's Law formula. All the experience acquired H- in the first year shop forms a very sound foundation for the advanced work which involves the wiring systems that are now used in modern buildings. These systems, although somewhat compli- cated, form a very interesting study for the students. Electrical Wiring MR. CHRISTIAN KUEHN The students who Work in hir. Christian Kuehn's shop employ their time mounting projects with conduit, armored cable, etc. It is evident that the boys do not work at all times. Robert, a lad with a very mischiev- ous sense of humor, spends a great deal of time hiding the Sophomores' coveralls and tools. Ever since Mort Slessinger bought a new knife, many have been complaining about missing buttons on their coveralls. Junior Schaeffer is still running around in a daze trying to find out why Edward Ruestow is always one jump ahead of him. Easy! He uses his brains. The blaring horn which reminds us in the afternoon that it is time to resume work, was installed by two very handy students, George Pfeiffer and Bobby Snyder. We all know that all practical electrical maintenance problems arising in the school shops, are given attention and no service by hir. Kuehn's boys. page thirty-five Tool and Die Making MR. CHARLES HATTENBURGER During the last year of the machinist course the boys are trained for die making. They are taught the fundamentals of making articles in regards to figuring out the dimensions, laying out the work piece, making the template, the filing of the die, punch, and stripper. If the boys work as hard as lklols, Henderson and Stetter they will never complete their die. The teacher nearly fainted one morning when Joseph Allen arrived on time for once. When all the school days are over the boys will always remember the tall, handsome fellow Corliss Buhs' Coca Cola's and he's under the table. James Davis spends more time in shop trying to sing and dance then he does working. john R. McKay is the milkman machinist and the outstanding word slinger of the group. Edward lklichals talks a good machinist's course. A fact which the school is very proud of is that boys graduating from our machin- ists' course are always in demand by employers all over the city, and there are never enough graduates to fill all of the positions available. First -Year Machine Shop MR. ALEC P. ARMSDEN This is the first year machine shop class and there is hope that we will become first-class machinists and toolmakers, if we live long enough. The honor of being at the head of the class goes to Harold lkleacham and George lwickl and following behind in line is james King, Norbert Kratzke, Chester Nlalachowski, Henry Schenk, Adam Naliwajek, VValter Milaskus, john Styn, Norman Styn, Edward Brzouski and lVIelvin Creamer. Besides learning to use hand and machine tools, we are taught how to forge, harden and temper, and in addition to studying the theory of our trade, we learn some- thing about the materials of construction. There are a few boys with special attributes that should be mentioned. Arthur Johnson and Fred Keller are the champion arguers of the classy they have never agreed upon any subject up to the present time. Well, after all, they are not a bad bunch of freshmen and next year they will be real grown- up sophomores. page thirty-six Machine Shop MR. FREDERICK ATZRUT These machine shop students, like their fellow students in this course at Seneca, spend their three hours daily, getting experience on the lathe, planer, shaper, drill-press, milling machine, grinder and bench work. The Sophomores gain their experience on this equipment by making vises, drill-presses, and other machine parts. To the juniors naturally falls the duty of performing the more accurate and complicated work. ln this shop, the manufacture of fixtures and gigs gives the student an opportunity to apply their knowledge of drawing and mathematics gained in their book classes. Here too they may display some of the mechanical ingenuity and initiative so necessary in the design and construction of this type of product. All operations are performed on machines which as nearly as possible duplicate those found in modern machine shops and tool rooms. It naturally de- volves that the p r a c t i c e gained thereon is such as will Ht the students of this course for continued profitable eni- ployment in the mechanical industries of our city. The Machine Shop Group MR. FREDERICK THEURER The juniors and sopho- mores shown here hope to be future machinists and tool - makers. One - cut Schillo is probably the only machinist who ever succeeded in cutting a 2- 10 thread in one cut. Svarzkopf and Pukay can always be seen waltzing over the well-oiled shop floor. 'fBruiser Klein has to stand on tip-toe to reach the vises on the bench. VVe wonder if the Bielers have a bath tub at home because he always takes a bath at the machine-shop sink. Hinton has the enviable job of running the bench lathe. Stutz, Coons, Stuhler, and Hochstrasser can always be found de-bugging lN'Ir. Atzrott's plants. Knab was heard telling a certain young fellow his own successful formula for making Fourth of july sparklers. Limited space will not permit us to include the .specialties of each member of the class, but a check-up in the future will, without doubt, reveal the outstanding characteristics of every one in this exceptional group. page fhirfy-seven The Photography Shop MR. SHEPARD During the past few weeks the photography shop has been in a state of constant upheavel. The reason is the pictures in the Year Book which you are now observing had to be taken. lwost of the pictures in the Year Book were made by students of the photography department. The work was done by two seniors, Adam Silvestrini and joseph Farolino, who are in the graduating class. Some of the lighter work was done by Henry Quattlander and lVIerle Horton. Cf course all the upperclassmen helped in making prints and enlargements. The pictures show activities in two of the important rooms in the photography shop. One shows work being done in the Camera room where most of the actual work takes place. ln the print is shown some of the different activities which take place each day in the shop. The other print is of the Dark- room, where all of the films are processed. This picture shows several of the students working on films, examining them by the red lights or as the photographers term it safe lights. This is just a brief example of some of the things that were done or started by the Photography Class. Taking of the senior pic- tures proved a headache to Rudy Binn, Charles Farrell and Ed Selig. lt seems that the back of the multiple camera was loose and the pictures generally turned out no go. lvlr. Shepard made the second batch, so as to be sure of their success. John Nies and Alfred Blumreich have just finished printing a large number of shop pictures. The boys were forever arguing about the temperature of the developer, the type of paper to use, and other essential operations of printing. The printing room resounded for several days with their backbiting. The whole class is now glad they are done. Joe Farolino, Adam Silvestrini and all the other fellows connected with the Year Book pictures, have certainly turned out some very fine pictures, and are to be con- gratulated. Although these two seniors did the majority of the work, the juniors and sophomores who lent a hand are also to be congratulated. page thirty-eight Humor SIGN SPOTTED BY STUDENT PANTS MATCHED OUR SPECIALTY Not for me, says this student.

L 4 '7 r 5852? 52 42, 5:29 3 AK: x I MATER Our Organ It was on our Annual Open House Night, November 19, 1936, that a Hammond Organ was installed in our auditorium for an exhibition. After hearing several selec- tions played by Arthur J. Crossen, Dr. Pierce spoke to our visitors about the possibility of buying such an organ for use in our assembly programs. An organ fund was started under the supervision of Mr. King and lVIr. Gomph. The student body, faculty, and friends were asked to contribute whatever they could afford. The enthusiasm was soon felt by the whole school. The seniors, who are always ready to support any good cause, decided that instead of giving the school a picture they would put this money into the organ fund. With all this loyal support cqming from students, teachers and friends, we were able to see the way clear to have this organ brought back to Seneca to stay. The total amount that has been raised at the present time is 5800. We also expect to have S150 more paid by the time school closes which will make a total of S950 paid. This will leave a balance of S520 to raise next year. The operation of the Hammond Electric Organ is rather an interesting thing to know. It has a generator located in the console which produces the minute electrical currents which create the musical tone. A metallic disc, about the size of a silver dollar, is arranged so that it will rotate in close proximity to a permanent magnet About the permanent magnet is wound a coil. This disc is not a true circle, but has a number of convolutions, or high spots equally spaced about its periphery. As it rotates it does not touch the permanent magnet, but these high spots pass close to the magnet. Each time a high spot passes the point it varies the magnetic field, and induces a minute current in the coil. Should the disc be rotated at such a speed, for instance, that 440 high spots would pass the point of the magnet each second, a minute alternating current of a frequency of 440 would be generated in the coil and would flow in the circuit with which it is associated. In the generator there are 91 such discs, all permanently geared together and driven by a constant speed-synchronous motor. Their speeds of rotation and the number of high spots on each are so calculated that each disc produces one of the 91 frequencies necessary for the 91 pitches which are aroused in the fundamentals and harmonic overtones. It is possible to obtain 8 harmonics, their intensity and number constantly under the control of the organist. There are 61 playing keys on each keyboard, each board having separate harmonic controls and preset keys. The operation is entirely electrical, the music first appearing as sound at the power cabinet. We wish to take this opportunity to thank our organist, Mr. Austin, who has done such a splendid job of playing so well on this new instrument. The organ fund com- mittee also wishes to thank all those who helped in any way to bring this organ to Seneca. page forty-two The Band The Seneca Band, under the competent direction of Carlton G. VVagner, has been composed of about forty-four members for the past year. Considering the small amount of time alloted for rehearsals, and the cramped quarters that the band has had to work in, we believe it has made very Hue progress toward being the best band that Seneca has had the pleasure of boasting about in some years. It has rendered its valuable services whenever needed, having played at most of the football games, Open House Night, and the School Play. Beside this the band contributed some unusually fine numbers to the annual musical assembly program. VVe are also able to boast of having eleven of our own band playing in the city's All High Band. Seneca also has a Junior Band which was organized for the purpose of experiencing beginners for next year's Senior Band. This unit is progressing very rapidly having already advanced some of its members. THE SENECA BAND Dirfrlrd by Carllon G.

Having been organ- ized for only a few months, the German Band has had but one chance to show us what they are able to do. This performance, however, was met with enthusiastic approval bv everyone, and we expect to hear more from them in the future. page forty-four SCHOOL ACTIVITIES STUDENT COUNCIL MONITORS HI- Y YEAR BOOK STAFF PROGRAM COM MITTEE PURLICITY COMMITTEE CHIEFTAIN STAFF CAMERA CLUB STAMP CLIFI3 IJEBATING TEAM DRAMATIIC SOCIETY CHESS CLUB TABLE TENNIS CLUB Executive Committee The executive committee of the student council is composed of those who repre- sent large groups of students. All class officers, chairmen of permanent committees, editor of the Chieftain, chairman of the year book committee, a delegate from the athletic groups, a delegate representing all clubs and any others who have special duties are members of this group. lt is the duty of this executive body to decide upon the general policy of the council and to determine the program for the year. The executive committee receives all petitions and recommendations and decides upon the course of action to be taken. EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE Mr. A. P. Armsden Robert Selzler Faculty Adviser Peter Paulos Pres. of Council Raymond Allen George Speth Arthur White Richard Mergler Anthony Porreca Howard Sasse George Zeis Editor of Chieftain Raymond Kubera Eugene Wozniak John Harrison Edwin Thurrien Francis Schwab J.

Yaeger Oswald Meyer Raymond Allen Leslie Graubman Class Representatives In addition to the executive body, we have our general council members. Although their duties are different than the executive committee, the general council members are a very important group. This group consists of representatives from each roll call class, presidents of clubs, leaders of groups and chairmen of special committees. We depend upon the roll call representatives to inform the council of the recom- mendations and wishes of the various classes, and also to inform their class of the action taken by the council. page 'Forty-six Seneca Student Council The Student Council of Seneca Vocational High School was formed for the purpose of giving the students an opportunity to express their desires and ambitions and to have some part in determining school policies. lt tries to develop initiative on the part of the whole student body and to foster those faculties of judgment, resourcefulness, carefulness, promptness and steadfastness of purpose which are so essential to leadership. The council aims to promote and maintain a co-operative spirit not only between students and faculty but also in all things pertaining to our school life. During the organization of our council about two and a half years ago, it was decided that a set of rules and regulations be drawn up in the form of a constitution. After considerable research and investigation as to the purpose and aims of student council activities, our present constitution was accepted and approved. Up to the present time it has not been found necessary to amend our constitution. However, there is provision made in the constitution for amendment, should it be found necessary. The idea that students should participate in school affairs is not a new idea by any means, and for years liberal-minded educators and teachers have felt that there should be some sort of governing body selected and directed by the students. Our council contains representatives from all organizations within the school, in all, there are about sixty members when the full council meets. The class officers of every class, the roll-call class representatives, the presidents of the various cluibs and activities, and all chairmen of permanent and special committees are those who make up the membership of our student organization. Within the council there is an executive committee whose duty it is to arrange all details and to supervise the duties of the council. The program for the coming year is partly decided upon by the outgoing council. They submit a set of recommendations based upon the experience of the past year which serves as a guide for the new council. All of our past activities, such as the program committee, publicity committee, music committee, committee for radio programs, and about ten other special committees, have been continued this year. Peter Paulos, who was vice-president last year, was elected President of the Council for this year and Howard Sasse, a junior, is vice-president. In addition to the regular program of activities there were three new recom- mendations for this year: First, to publish our school paper, the Chieftain , which had been discontinued, second, to form a debating team, and third, to have a year book. The Chieftain has been published regularly since the first issue under the editorship of George Zeis and his staff. The debating club was organized by John McKay, president, and the club is now under the individual sponsorship of Mr. W. Klass, faculty adviser. The fact that you are able to read this is due to Raymond Allen and his year book committee. Our student committees function with very little faculty supervision. Students are informed of general school policies, but the organization and detail are left very much in their hands. It is student self-government as far as that is practically possible. page forfy-seven Monitors and Moving Picture Qperators The monitors have done an excellent job this year in keeping the halls clear, maintaining order in the cafeteria and the show, checking the lunch passes, and in preventing congestion in the halls and on the stairways. The monitors of the show completed another season in operating the motion- picture show during the two lunch periods. They sold the tickets, inspected and collected them at the end of each week, and aided in keeping the auditorium clean and orderly. Through the cooperation of these boys the noon hours were made most enjoyable.

The membership of the club is selected from the third and fourth year groups, although a second year student may join near the end of that year. page forty-eight Acknowledgment I take this opportunity to thank everyone who has participated in the publishing of this year book. I thank the Photography department for the photographs they have taken and those who have drawn sketches for the book. I thank all the reporters for their assistance in compiling the articles, and all those who have helped in the raising of funds to defray the expenses. I also wish to thank Dr. Pierce and the members of the faculty who have supervised this work. With the full coopera- tion of everyone we have been able to publish a year book which you will always cherish. v Senior Sponsor .... ,... , ....... M r. Atzrott Editor-in-Chief ........

At the beginning of the school year the Council appointed John R. McKay as chairman of this com- mittee, and he in turn selected the boys that he wished to have working with him. These fellows were Richard Maus and Albert Bartholomew. The duty of the group has been to arrange all the programs presented by the Student Council and to select the proper type of entertainment to place before the School in the assemblies. This group also helped to arrange several programs which were sponsored by different organizations outside the Student Council. page for+y-nine Publicity Committee It is the duty of the Publicity Committee to arrange and produce weekly programs to be aired over our school station, WSVS. These programs, with the exception of the technical direction of the remote shop and classroom broadcasts handled by lVIr. Lowell Kitchin, are produced entirely by students. George W. Zeis, the chairman, Arthur C. VVhite, the co-chairman and Peter Paulos, the announcer, headed the committee.

Zeis, the editor-in-chief, organized the staff early in the year with the help of Arthur C. White, the assistant editor. Eugene Uber, advertising manager, Nlerle Horton and Robert Zeis comprised the advertising department and through their efforts the publication has been self- sustaining. Since the majority of the staff are Juniors, the paper should be published regu- larly next year and should continue to show improvement over its predecessors. page fifty Seneca Camera Club The Seneca Camera Club was established in the fall of 1933. The purpose of this organization is to improve the photographic ability of its members. Nlr. Henry Shepard is the faculty adviser of this club and assists the members in obtaining better results while taking, developing, printing, enlarging, and copying photographs. The members are permitted to do any type of photography work they desire, using the equipment of the photography shop. This is done in order that more students will become better acquainted with the art of photography. Sitting on Floor: James Sartori Ludwig Schuckardt Arthur Misuraed Sitting: N. Buckowski Arthur C.

The desirable social and educational advantages of such an organization speak for themselves. The members exchange, sell, and buy stamps among themselves. The facility adviser and treasurer of the Club is Klr. Hemendinger. The club elects its officers annually. All members who attended this year's meetings will agree that they were amply repaid in knowledge and entertainment for time spent after school. page fifiy-one Debating Team At the instigation of several enthusiastic students the Seneca Debating Society was organized. As a result of the preliminary tryouts the below pictured candidates were chosen to pioneer in the forensic field at Seneca. Activity, in the main, centered about the regular Friday afternoon radio debates. In this manner each member was accorded plentiful opportunities for the exercise of prepared and extemporaneous oratory. The topics involved questions of civic, national and international importance, enabling each to grasp the essentials of public speaking. Seated: Anthony Porreca Richard Maus John McKay A.

It gives entertainment and provides money for the other extra-curricular activities, but its major goal is to educate. Our aim is identical with that of all courses of study in the curriculum. In choosing plays, the club always keeps in mind the ideal that the vehicle chosen must help the actors as well as the audiences to a better and fuller life, and that through its presentation the actors attain real results in the Way of oral expression, poise and a general freeing and awakening of their faculties. page fifty-two Chess Club Chess, the original slow-motion game, has engaged the attention of a number of our bright young students. Of course, there is a difference of opinion as to whether it takes brains to play chess. VVe won't stop to argue that now. We'll admit it. Individually and collectively the club played better chess this year than last. We won two of our interscholastic matchesg last year we didnlt win any. This lack of victories was undoubtedly influenced by the fact that no matches were played. Mr. V.

This year found Tommy Hughitt in his regular place as coach. Every afternoon Tommy and the boys devoted three or more hours to building up their bodies and improving their offense and defense. They trained every day regardless of the weather. Six games constituted the schedule for the 1936 season. The team was victorious in three of the six and, in addition, captured the vocational championship. Ossie Williams, Stetter and Ray Schimmer, along with the help of George Speth, were able to open a large gap in the opponent's front line. Lester Benzee, jerry Meyer and Ray Kubera complain that they could never find it. l'0peye,' Vanderbush and VVarzel are two good centers. They were the core of the team. Henry Rewicki and Randell played right end and left end of the bench, respectively. jim Hurley, Harold Beyer and Lampman learned more by watching the game. They had to, because they did not play enough to learn by experience. We know that football helps give a man a good sense of humor as well as a strong body. Perhaps that explains why we dare poke a little fun at the team that gave such a good account of itself. page fifty-seven Seated: R. Mineo 1C0achJ, F. O'Brien, H. Mankowski, C. Antholzner, K.

Baseball When the call for baseball candidates was given by the coach, lNIr. Nlurph Mirieo, he was delighted with the large turnout. However he soon learned of the inexperience of the material he had to mold into a winning combination. Undaunted by this handi- cap and with one eye on the 1938 title, he continued to build up his team as best he could. The team has played four games. The losses have not discouraged the boys, however, and they have not given up hope of becoming the vocational champs. The team has the traditional fighting spirit, characteristic of Seneca athletes, a spirit that keeps it going until the last play is completed. Homenda is tired of throwing the ball up high enough so that George Speth does not have to stoop to catch it. jerry Nleyer would play better ball if he would grow a few inches. 'Carl Antholzener bats in the clean-up position because he takes a bath twice a day. Browney Stepka and Carl Krauss make a good battery. Frank Padak and Ken Elsie are always stealing bases. They should be reminded that there is a law that prohibits stealing. Ray Kawalski says that he can follow a ily better with short hair. CYou should use your eyes for that, Ray. Be sure to kill the Hy and catch the ball.j Dan Rutkowski, Frank lVIartek, and Herman Fernberg are always warm- ing up in the bull pen. They will soon be growing horns. llflankowski already has horns. I-larry Nlalachowski would like to initiate Wiiikleman, but he cannot because he does not, as yet, shave. VVinkleman has joined the House of David. A victory means a shave to him. page fifty-eight Seated: ll. Kowalski, F. Padak. S. Szczepanik, R. Kubera. B. Stepka, B. Svarzkopf, K. Elsie.

The first turnout of candidates Hlled the gym. Mr. lloehmer divided the boys into two groups, and selected the better players of each to comprise the squad. The team played ten of its games on the road. lt was victorious in one of them, and was also victorious in one of the two home games. lien Elsie was a flash on the Hoor. He was very deceiving, the faker. Ray liubera and Stan Szczepanik were co-captains. The team needed two captains. YVhen Stan was not out of the game for personal fouls, Ray Kubera was. Dan Rutkowski was the super-man of the team. He was a good player for Stepka to practice against. Such rough boys. Herman Fernberg played a minute of one game. Never mind Herman, by the time you graduate you will play four full minutes-one a year. Hobart Halstead warmed the bench all year. VVhen the team played its home games, Hobart burned the players' bench. The bench could not stand it for two full games. Bill Svarzkopf gave the spectators a laugh when he dribbled down the Hoor. You should keep your legs straight when you run, Bill. Frank Padak was out of place on the court. Paddocks are usually connected with race tracks. All for fun and fun for all, was the motto of the team. page fifty-nine Seated: J. Hancock, M. Harter, J. Davis, J. Allen, R. Mans. M. Fredette, W. Barlow.

Cross Country The first day of school was not just registration day, but also to many boys, the beginning of training for Cross Country. The call for candidates was issued by Coach Boehmer, and the response of a large group of eager aspirants showed promise of zi championship team. After a week or so of gym work, the squad migrated to the athletic field. There Coach Boehmer instructed the squad in the art of striding, keeping the body forward, and breathing correctly. The second week of training found the squad running around the track at a trotg this increased to a faster pace in the third week. The last week of training was devoted to improving endurance and stride. The month of the meets was devoted to remaining in good running condition. The team went through the season undefeated. It scored decisive victories over Emerson, lWcKinley and Hurgard in the dual meets. ln the final meet the teams romped to victory by the low score of twenty-six points to McKinley's sixty-nine, Burgard's seventy-seven and Emerson's eighty. The shower room quartet comprised of James Davis, Joe Allen, Dick Maus and Florian Schmidt composed a song about running. Fredette, Harter and Barlow did their utmost to outdo the quartet in singing but they were not successful. page sixty . .. . A . AL Q - Seated: F. Morrow. R. Grimm, O. Meyers, H. Sasse. J. Clor, J.

Track Many boys greeted April First with a cheer, because to them it meant the inaugu- ration of the vocational track season. The turnout found only a few veterans hack from the I936 squad. Despite that condition, lilr. Boehmer, the coach, did not lose hope. He trained the boys every day. He is about the fields every afternoon instructing boys in the art of running, jumping and vaulting. Despite inexperience, our team will present stiff competition to its opponents in the All-Vocational meet. Roy Grimm is astonished because he is not handicapped by his weight. Frank Morroxi' does not detour around an opponent to pass him, he just runs through his legs. Howard Sasse and McGeachie are great rivals, neither can vault over eight feet. Gerhard Gran is always crossing up Riel Fredette by beating him. Troutner likes to follow Parker in at the finish. .lust a fish after a worm. VVats:fn began training for the mile. So far he has run everything but the mile. -Iohn Harrigan claims that if he had more weight he could put the shot farther. Louie Linhart sur- prised lVIr. Boehmer by presenting three Oliis on his eligibility card for three straight weeks. Frederick Seege is hurdling by hops, skips and jumps. He's creeping right up in there. joe Allen usually forces Barlow to eat his dust when they run in the same race. Is that nice, Joe? Bob Scott was surprised when he found that he could still high jump. He thought that night-life would handicap him. page sixty-one First, Row: A. Hartman, R. Winter. E. Smolinski, J. Walter, H.

Graubman, Swimming llflr. James Smith, a registered life guard, instructed the swimming class. The class is conducted at School 31. Upon entering the pool the boys are required to swim ten lengths. They then participate in some wrestling and water polo to strengthen the legs, arms and lungs. After the physical side of the training is completed, lblr. Smith explains different predicaments a lite guard can encounter and presents a solution for each. To pass a life guard examination a swimmer must know and execute the various approaches, breaks, and carries. The student must administer artificial respiration. If a swimmer passes the examination he becomes a registered life guard of the American Red Cross Association. Fred Fish is right at home in the water. VVhen Frank Geyer begins to spout water, one thinks that he is a geyser spurting skyward. VVhen Ed Smolinski rides Tony Palmays massive back he thinks he is reclining under the sun on Palm Beach. Leonard Zimmer always carries water wings. I wonder if he thinks hels an angel? VVhen Al VVohlford churns the water one thinks that a model T Ford is in the pool. VVhen Robert Griliiths and joe Battaglia finish taking a bath in the pool the water I1lL1St be changed. Hans -Ioachimi is quite a joker. Once he attempted to drown Leslie Graubman, but Leslie, true to his name, grabbed Hans to keep him down too. Art Hartman is a dear heart. He saved joe l,oSecco from drowning. page sixty-two Seated: Arthur Ouchie. Frank Drzewieck, John Clor. Standing: William Bender.

The teams were divided into four leagues, and the elimination system was used. Six teams were entered in the senior league. Class -H31 proved itself champ of the Senior class. The junior league was comprised of seven teams and the boys' class 3B7 proved themselves the superior players. Class ZBI was the winner of the Sophomore league in which ten teams competed. The Freshmen were represented by Ill teams. Class IBIU was the winner. The winning teams were given the honor of representing their class in the playoffs. Class 231 displayed clever team work to win the championship. The champion team was presented a trophy for its conquest, and the winners of the individual leagues were presented plaques. This tournament is held every year just before our regular basketball season opens. Its purpose is twofold. lt is held mainly in the hope of uncovering potential basketball material for the varsity team, and secondly to provide enjoyment for players who are anxious to play basketball but are not good enough to secure a position on the school team. In order to insure this no member of the school team is allowed to participate in these interclass games. page sixty-three Roy Grimm N.

Father Time Says It is the duty of the senior class to set an example, or one may say, set the pace for the other students to follow-that is, for the activities around the school. The class of '37 has taken charge of many school affairs. A large number of seniors answered the call Mr. VVarnhoff made for monitors about the school, they are faith- fully carrying on with this voluntary work. We take this opportunity to thank each and every student for the splendid cooperation in making these enterprises possible. The experience the seniors had this year proves that this is one time Father Time has favored us very well. Many assembly programs have been presented through the sponsorship of the senior program committee. The never-to-be-forgotten theater party was made success- ful through the senior work. Of course, the senior skating party and dance was a success. The senior group was responsible for the production and circulation of this year book. We may change the familiar saying Htime will tell and say in the past tense, time has told.', page sixty-eight wWWE40fv REMEMBER .,.m ' VVVVVVVVVVVYVVVVVVVVVVVVVV 7777777777 Vvvvv Vvvvv VV 7777 77 777777777777 77 77 77 VVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVV VV 77 VVVV 7777 VV 7777 7777 77777777 V7 77 P P P P P P P P P P P P P P P P P P P P P P P P P P P P P P P P P P P P P P P P P P P P P P P P P P P P P P P P P P P P P P P P P P P P P P sure Success with S T E N O T Y P E SECRETARIAL TRAINING I A mere job won't guarantee your future in Business.
