NICELY Dedication To the man—lately entered into the life and management of our school— who for the course of the past year has held high before himself and Strong Vincent High School the fulfillment of our aims and ideals— we dedicate this book. 3« Memoriam. GARTER WILLIAM TROW He was scholarly in learning, metic- ulous in routine, a martinet in the classroom, and exemplar of a very gracious and very human personality. With a few great teachers he shared the gift of. making study seem as much a privilege as a duty. He was at once inspired and inspiring. His pupils during his long service as instructor in Latin at Central High School remember the uncompromising teacher with rev- erence, and the kindly friend with affection. He was an exacting mentor, but they called him “Pop.” ■ a i i r or r. o n t r n t s DEDICATION 7 IN MEMORIAM 8 SCENES 10 FACULTY 17 CLASSES 19 FEBRUARY SENIOR CLASS 22 JUNE SENIOR CLASS 32 UNDER-GRADUATE CLASSES 50 ACTIVITIES 63 ATHLETICS 66 ORGANIZATIONS 78 FEATURES 102 SATIRE 113 LITERARY 118 CORRIDOR Tt LIBRARY T© the racially Hard is the task of the guide and leader,— Threading the maze of the embryo thought, Shaping new minds, with fate in the forming, Revealing the way that is eagerly sought. The realms of the mind and the past with its richness, They open to myriads, waiting to know, Truth and the future still lies in their keeping, Part of our legacy, always to flow Down through the years that are stretching before us,— The laggard inherits it ever the same; The genius, encouraged, strides on to perfection, And each makes the sign which will follow his name. If sometimes they err, and untaught is the student, A few truths at least he has gained and for these We shall honor the hearts that persisted in finding New notes that will ring in new harmonies. —Martha Jane Hagenlocher.

Connell. _ Mr. Kramer___ .President Vice-President ___Secretary . --Treasurer Faculty Advisor Faculty Advisor The 12-1 class has not been so active this year as it has been in the past. This was partly due to the great amount of time taken for selecting, placing and directing the various committees, so necessary to the success of a senior class. The only activity sponsored by this class was the skating party held January 13, 1933 at the 12th Street Market. However, plans are now in progress for a dance to be given sometime after the Lenten holidays. We prophesize that next semester when our duly arranged committees are in excellent working order, will be the time of times for our class. 51 19 SPOKESMAN 33 II -i Class Officers John Caserta. Isabel Johnston Marian Little- Robert Jordan Miss Barringer Miss Plotzer _ President Vice-President _______Secretary ______Treasurer Faculty Advisor Faculty Advisor The 11-2 Class was the first to organize and to interest itself in our school by electing four committees: scholarship, athletic, social, complaint citizenship. The scholarship committee has drawn up a set of rules which is to guide the students in studying. These were distributed throughout the Junior homerooms. The other committees have also been active in their respective tasks. We have given many outstanding students to basketball, football, debating, orchestra, band, track, swimming, dramatics and A’Capella Choir. The bank moratorium was responsible for the postponement of our main social event, a dance to be given in the girls gym on St. Patricks night. We expect to do many other things before the end of the semester. Our large class hopes to contribute appreciably through both citizenship and scholarship to Vincent’s fine reputation. 53 19 SPOKESMAN 54 II9� SPOKESMAN 3131 11' -1 Class Officers Fred Brevellier President Dave Ohler .. _ Vice-President Mildred Penrod Secretary Jean Butler.. . - _.

Practically the whole first team of last year had been graduated. The work seemed difficult, but when over ninety boys answered the call to practice in late August, strong reserves were soon uncovered to fill the gaps. In the first game of the season, a nervous group playing together for the first time, defeated a hard-fighting Girard team to the tune of 20-0, Bell making three touchdowns and Longnecker smashing through the line to gain two extra points. In our next struggle with Sharpsville, who were strong favorites to win, the team unleashed thunder-bolts of power and completely routed the down- staters 21-0. The boys clicked together in perfect team-work showing vast im- provement over the last struggle. Outplayed in the next two games, we suffered defeat at the hands of Mead- ville 12-0 and Warren 7-0. In our biggest fight of the season, marked by rallies and pep-talks before the game, we triumphed over Academy for the first time in eleven years. The score, 6-0, does not reveal how the Golden Lions were outplayed in every phase of the game by a bunch of hard-hitting “Fighting-Colonels.” Gillespie, standing on the five yard line, received a twenty yard pass from Bell and stepped across the goal line for the only and winning touchdown. Our line gave perfect support to a smooth working backfield. It was hard to pick out any outstanding player. The “let down” from the Academy game proved too much and we bowed to Alliance in a very poorly played game 6-0. Atoning for last year’s defeat at North Braddock our boys defeated the Pittsburgers 7-0. Bell making the touchdown in the first quarter on a long end run. The line deserves a great deal of praise for its commendable work in this game in stopping the running attack of Scott High. In our next game, a city series tilt, we lost to East High 19-6, Recovering a fumble before it touched the ground, Suesser raced 70 yards for our only touch- down. In spite of the score Vincent was on the offensive in both halves and the team is to be congratulated on its fine showing in this game. Farrell, our next opponent, rated two touchdowns better, was treated to a surprise when held to a 0-0 tie, Wolfe, a new man in our line-up, brought the fans to their feet when he made several large gains. Our last city series game, with Tech, proved to be a great disappointment to Vincent fans when we lost 12-0. The fact that two touchdowns for our team were disallowed by the officials took the spirit out of the boys and for the rest of the game they played a mediocre brand of football. In the last struggle of the season the team showed its worth by defeating a championship Wellsville, Ohio team 12-6, Bell making both touchdowns on off- tackle plays. Throughout the whole season the spirit of the team was outstanding. Whether we won or lost every man gave all he had playing the game in a sports- manlike manner. Under the leadership of Captain Agresti, and with most of this years team returning, we expect to have a successful 1933 season. 67 19 SPOKESMAN 33 Review of the Season Date Opponent Dec. 6 Alumni Dec. 9 Conneaut, Ohio Dec. 13 P.

Completing the hardest schedule a Red and Black team has yet faced, our boys established another enviable record, winning 16 out of 21 games. The high spots of the season, with the exception of the city series, proved to be games with, Conneaut, Meadville, Farrell, Girard, and James- town. Led by Sickafus with 192 points and ably assisted by Calabrese, Jones, Hetico, and Bell, the Vincent offense piled up to a total of 688 points against the opponents 479. Despite of the loss of Sickafus, Calabrese, Leet and Donatucci, the Colonels are expecting to carry on as befits a Vincent team until February when the loss of Bell, Hetico, and Gillespie will bring more grey hairs to “Sam” Kramer. 69 SPOKESMAN 3131 19 Schedule 1933 March 3 Academy Alumnae at home March 25 Cleveland A.

The team did very well in all the larger meets and brought home medals and trophies to show their valor. The championship of the city remained undecided between Vincent and Academy although it looked like a Vincent victory. This splendid season under the coaching of Mr. Wick and the management of Lycurgus Chacona developed fourteen letter- men including:—Acker and Arneman, flashy, sprintmen, Kapsar, Gardner, Postos and Wolf; splendid middle distance runners; Clapp, a fine distance man; Bruno, Bauder, and Thomas un- beatable weightmen; R. Calabrese and Bell springy high jumpers and Schabacker and McCarthy stellar pole vaulters. Manager Chacona also received his letter. The Team of 1933 having trained all winter and spring has shaped up well. There are seven lettermen back, namely, Clapp, Kapsar, Bell, Thomas, Wolf, Schabacker and McCarthy. Some of the bright prospects and their events are: in the sprints—Hawkins, Kruth, Kirchner and Lewis, the long distance, Hutchings, Sant- angelo, Myers, Waite and Suesser, the middle distances, Valimont, Augustine and Ross, high jump, A. Calabrese, Jones and Restivo, Hurdles, Harter and Spamani, the weights, Runser, Harvath, Olsen, Arlswright, Hetico, West and Hynes. The manager for this season is Jack Russell. 71 19 SPOKESMAN 33 :r-------'■ Ain.TT v., —j---- m inimini� With four well balanced teams battling for the city title, the swimming season proved to be an exciting affair. In this race Vincent came out second best, bowing to Academy in two close meets. The team’s outstanding success was the defeat of Syracuse Central High School, in their own pool, who up to that time had not been beaten in eight years. Vincent broke even in eight dual meets and placed fourth in the State Championship meet at Pittsburgh. This year’s team was composed of: Paul Covey, James Wilson, James Shugart, Max McGavern, Bob Moser, Ronald Mattes, Bob Baur, Willard Crittenden, Frederick Oberkerker, Bernard Anderson, Maurice Bohman, Charles Emling, “Red” Kidman and Manager Richard Harter. Next year, with the exception of Bob Moser, James Wilson, “Bones” Mattes, and “Red” Kidman the whole varsity squad will be back. In February the team will be “hard hit” with the loss of Paul Covey, Max McGavern, and James Shugart. The graduation of these men will cause some concern for Coach “Art” Monahan, but it is hoped that upcoming Gridley boys will fill some of the vacancies and help carry on Vincent’s splendid records in the aquatic world. 72 Water Pel© With the return of such excellent material as, Willie Crittenden, “Red” Kidman, Max McGaven, Burt Fitting, Paul Covey, Bob Mosher, Ed. Crasky, Bob Frank, and Bob Hunter, Vincent’s hope of gaining the city polo champion- ship was high. These anticipations were doomed to disappointment as the other high schools forced Vincent to take the short end of seven games out of twelve played. Outstanding scores for Vincent were: Willie Crittenden, Max McGaven, and “Red” Kidman. These men supported by Bob Mosher, Paul Covey, Eddie Crasky, and Jerry McCarthy, carried Vincent’s colors through the season. The loss of two veteran men, Bob Mosher and “Red” Kidman in June with several such valuable substitutes as Phillip Conti and Bob Hunter, followed by the graduation of Max McGaven, Paul Covey, and Bob Frank in February will seriously impair Vincent’s chances next year, but we’re hoping for the best. 71 Girl’s Swimming The swimming team is the only interscholastic activity for girls. One meet a year is held with one entry from each school. There are nine events. Each spring a Junior and Senior life-saving class is formed. 74 19 SIPCIKIESMAN 33 Girl's Letter Clui� Officers Corrine Kottmeyer----------- Catherine Galmish... ---- Pauline Shanor__ ___________President _____Vice-President Secretary-! reasurer The letter club is an organization to further intra-mural sports.

The football schedule, with the defeat of Academy, was a complete success. Our basketball team gave us every reason in the world to be proud of them; they were the high scoring team of the city, and played hard, clean ball throughout their games. The water polo season came out even and the swimming team turned in more victories than defeats. The track team has started the season in a fine way, and great things are expected from them this spring. Golf and tennis have begun their practice sessions, and from watching them we would say, are due for their share of victories. With the above in mind, be proud of your teams, support them and help them live up to their high standards of good sportsmanship. —E.

Officers -------------President _,First Vice-President Second Vice-President ■ - ---------Secretary -------------Treasurer The Student Council, Strong Vincent’s governing body, is comprised of one member from each home room in the school. From this group, a president, two vice-presidents, a secretary and a treasurer are chosen. These officers with the help of four faculty advisors, two chosen by the faculty and two by the council, guide the members in their legislation. The officers of this year’s first council Council has done many things this year. It has granted the customary letters to athletes, authorized candy sales, financed dependent organizations, and distributed Christmas baskets. Its most important activity, however, was the “Carnival” given November 22. This project was unusually successful in every way. Financially, it netted us $396.10. This was duly budgeted and used to aid in other ventures. We can well be proud of our Council, the organization which we compose and through which we legislate for our school. 78 19 SPOKESMAN Imuli Club Keith Hamilton Mary McClain.

Membership to this club is offered to any student of French 4, 5, or (i and to those French 3 pupils who have earned a grade of 90. Many meetings have been held, at one of which a very clever, and well portrayed playlet was enacted by some of the members. 79 Gemiciii Club Officers Carl Strick_------------------------------ _. President Irene Yajda----------------------------- Vice-President Martha Rubner______________________________ _Secretary Martha Jane Hagenlocher__________________________Treasurer No one can deny the sympathetic, humanizing influence which the study of the manners, customs, and history of a foreign people must have on those who take an interest in them. With this idea in mind the German Club has been instrumental in bringing students of the German Club into closer touch through song, story, and bits of historical data with those vitalizing forces which go to make up the life story of the German people. Also by a regular correspondence carried on between our students and those of Germany, through the Medium of our Club the students have learned to know and understand each other better. This has meant more interest in the study of the language itself. «0 Virgil Club Officers Thomas Treadway Consul Josephine O’Dea . _Consul Margaret Grantonio _ . Scriba To assure one that there is also amusement as well as difficult homework in Latin, the Virgil Club, which has been in existence for several years, was organized. The entertainment for the meetings has been planned by very efficient Consuls. We are certain that those who intend to make Aeneas’ acquaintance will admire his devotedness in remaining with them as a loyal friend each evening. Miss Mercer is exceedingly willing to introduce strangers to her better half. Can’t you see the sorrowful look on our faces—that’s because we are so reluctant in leaving our Greek and Roman friends.

Two subjects were discussed during the past seven months. That of the first .semester was “Resolved: that Interscholastic and Intercollegiate Athletics be abolished.” This subject netted us four adverse decisions. However, during the second semester when we debated on the question “Resolved: that at least one-half of all state and local revenues should be derived from sources other than tax on tangible property, we gained three out of four decisions. The debate club has also been socially active. A very successful party was held early in the season. Other social activities are planned for the near future. Both Miss Louise Preston and Miss Ida Warfel, who coached the team in the first and second semesters respectively, are to be congratulated on their work. Strong Vincent may indeed be proud of her debaters! 83 119 SIPCIKIESMAN 33 Junior Didinatic Club Officers Robert Steiner Patty Barringer_________________ Emory Austin_____________ Miss Ellen Connell_______ President ___Vice-President Secretary-7 'rea surer ___ _______Advisor Early last Fall, the Junior Dramatic Club was organized and officers were elected.

These boys have tried to set a high standard of behavior for themselves and others. They have aimed to protect the good name of our school by encouraging good citizenship in the halls and in the cafeteria. The faculty and the administration wish to express their appreciation of the monitors’ splendid co-operation in handling school problems. 86 Ushers The Usher Society of Strong Vincent was started during the second year that Vincent High School was opened. Charles Rose was the first leader. The first group was composed of about 15 students who were interested in taking charge of commencements and school plays. The ushers gave much assistance to Mr. Phalan, Mr. Frail, and Miss Schabacker. Much credit is due this organization for the orderly fashion in which graduations were conducted. The present organization is composed of twelve ushers under the leadership of Francis Williams, head usher. These boys have added greatly to their duties. They are now taking charge of all auditorium periods, operating lights, and opening and closing the auditorium. They assume full charge of all school activities for which the auditorium is used. It is planned to add even more duties this coming year by helping with the organization of school when it opens in September. Ushers are requested to report for duty during registration of classes, in this way they will contribute much to the success of Vincent. 87 National Honor Society Officers Rodney Brown— President Louis DiCecco __Secretary Miss Mercer --------- Treasurer Faculty Advisors Miss Byrce Mr. Anderson Mr. Nicely Mr. Armagost Strong Vincent is indeed proud to have the only chapter of the National Honor Society in the city. This organization is very worth while and member- ship in it is a coveted privilege. This membership is granted only to 11-2 and 12th grade students who have distinguished themselves in character, service, scholarship and leadership. Members are selected semi-annually by a senate composed of four teachers and the principal, and at those times solemn induction services are held. It has always been customary to have a banquet for the purpose of initiating new comers to the organization. However, this mid-year because of the depres- sion, the officers thought it best to depart from this custom. A larger and more elaborate banquet with the new members, chosen both semesters, invited, has been planned for sometime in June. 88 19 SPOKESMAN 33 Girl Reserves Catherine Galmish Catherine Roth,.

Although the Chorus is in its infancy, having been organ- ized only a year, it has already proven its ability to master the most difficult of pieces and to render tone quality that few can surpass. Among the Chorus’ outstanding pieces of the past year are “John Peel,” an old English Hunting song arranged by Treharne, “Gospodi Pomilui,” a song of the Russian Orthodox Church, arranged by Norden, “Sing We and Chant It” and “My Bonny Lass,” English Madrigals by Thomas Morley, and “Lovely Celia” by Munro and “I Know That My Redeemer Lives” by Johann Michael Bach, both contest pieces of the Forensic Music League of 1933. The mixed chorus will without a doubt, accomplish much this year. 9.5 19 S IP © I© IE SM A N 3t 3 Girls’ Chorus Officers Alice Knoblock-------- ---------------------------------- President Jeanne Morton----------------------------------------Vice-President Eleanor Fishel-------- Secretary-Treasurer The newly organized Girls’ Chorus of Strong Vincent are working to retain the State Championship which was won through the efforts of the splendid group of last year. With this goal in mind they practice diligently every day in the music room under the very capable leadership of Mr. O. L. Grender. This group consists of thirty-five talented young ladies, many of whom were members of last year’s Chorus and familiar with the purpose of this group have already shown interest and earnestness necessary for the success of such an organization. 94 Cheer Leaders The Cheer Leader’s squad is a very important organization in Strong Vincent. By daily practice, these able people perfect themselves in those cheers in which they lead the students in auditorium and also at all games. It is to this group that we owe that vocal support which spurs our teams on to success and inspires spirit in our students. 95 19 SIPCIKIES HAN 3 Spokesman Staff Officers Jules B.

Business Manager Margaret Reichert, Dorothy Thomson, Arlene Charles, Helen Stone, Fred Breveiller This year the Spokeman staff decided to attempt something entirely new and different from all other previous yearbooks, not only of Central and Vincent, but also of the other schools in the city. This idea was the working of color in the book to brighten it. The idea has been worked up very successfully in college annuals and so the staff decided to try it with their book. Money was raised entirely by the Art Department under the direction of Miss Myra Disterdick. We are very pleased with the result. The modernistic theme which is used throughout is a symbol of World Progress in the mode of living and in the trend toward simpler things. We wish to take this opportunity to thank Mr. Wallace, one of the former faculty advisors, who, unfortunately was forced to drop his instruction at school because of illness; Mr. Dean, who capably took over the management of the finances; Miss Joanna Connell who supervised the Editorial part of the book and Miss Forsberg who aided greatly in the typing. 96 19 SIPCIKIESMaV 3 3 June Senior Class Clay “The Charm School,” a delightful comedy in three acts, by Alice Duer Miller and Robert Milton, was produced by the Senior Class in the auditorium on May 19th. The play relates the adventures of a handsome young automobile salesman scarcely out of his ’teens who, upon inheriting a girl’s boarding school from a maiden aunt, insists on running it himself, according to his own ideas, chief of which is, by the way, that the dominant feature in the education of the young girl of today should be CHARM. The cast is to be congratulated on its excellent portrayal of this amusing and entertaining play. Cast of Characters James Wilson_________________________________ I Inward Bischoff.

The plays were very well received and met with much recognition outside of school. 119 SPOKESMAN The Art Department Unfortunately, it is the way of the world to acclaim the finished product alone, entirely forgetting the diligent workers and their individual contributions which comprise the composite whole. To prevent just such a situation, we wish to mention for special recognition, a group which is rightfully deserving of much praise, the art department. Not only has this department designed plates for our book, but it has even undertaken to make these plates in color. The work of raising the necessary funds for this purpose was left entirely to this group, because Council was in no position to give any financial aid. We are proud to acknowledge that these students have indeed performed their task well. Of course this has meant a personal contribution from each member of the department. In addition to this, money was obtained from the sale of silhouettes made by Betty Giles and Leola Dinges; and from lunch period dances for which an orchestra consisting of Gail Brown, Jack Dailey, Bernard Connelly, Harry Mulvey, Robert Zurlinden, Edward Runser, Elmer Heimo, Bob Hickey, John Shirley, Russell Mascato, Jack Shugart, Richard Conrath, and Arthur Burkholder, gave its services free of charge. The Spokesman Board of ’33 wishes to express to the mem- bers of this department, the orchestra, Leola Dinges, Betty Giles and Miss Myra Disterdick its sincere appreciation for their whole- hearted generosity, untiring efforts, and splendid co-operation in the production of this book. too FEATURES 119 SPOKESMAN STRONG VINCENT-6 ACADEMY-O Th E RESULT 102 19 SPOKESMAN 33 February Class Will We, the 1933 midyear seniors of Strong Vincent High School, willingly declare our state of mental distruction. However, dif- fering from all former graduating classes, we refuse to admit that our failure has been caused by books, examinations, teachers, half- witted undergraduates who have continually annoyed us, and other such trials contended with in school life.

The following eulogy was written by one of the instructor’s best Latin pupils. On behalf of the Spokesman Board I wish to take this opportunity to sincerely thank Mr. Curtis not only for this contribution but also for the material which he so kindly prepared for the “In Memoriam” page. —The Editor. “A Eelcveil Scholar” When Carter W. Trow retired from the active teaching of Latin at Central High School in 1924, Erie schools lost their foremost classical scholar, and an unsurpassed instructor. With his passing, in February, 1933, the city lost a man whose powerful and splendid personality left its impress upon hundreds of students during his thirty years of teaching. His standards were uncompromising. Those of his students who went later to famous eastern preparatory schools remembered him as their only high school teacher who had afforded a preview of what a really rigorous scholastic regime could be. He insisted upon the fullest performance from his classes, and rewarded them with a facility in instruction which somehow transmuted even the study of Latin from a duty to a privilege. It is curious that he was a man of excedingly methodical and sedate manner, coupled with a truly gay spirit. He derived deep and genuine pleasure from teaching himself to read Greek in his later years; yet he was sincerely surprised when a former student expressed amazement at his evident enjoyment of the burlesque theatre. Perhaps he might have said, with Justice Oliver Wendell Holmes, criticized for an identical indulgence, “Thank God, I am a man of low tastes!” Only once, it seems, did his methodical habits play him false. He never quickened his-space in walking, never was late, never was satisfied with the excuse of tardy students who explained that they lived “south of the tracks” and had been delayed by a long freihgt train in coming to school. He himself, he insisted, only found it necessary to start early enough. In former years, when the school day ended at one o’clock, it was his custom to receive the Virgil class at two, one afternoon a week. These meetings he made it an especial privilege to at- tend, and the classroom door was locked precisely at two. Belated students were deprived of what they had come to recognize as a cultural opportunity. A one-time colleague of Mr. Trow recalls the time when, on a Friday afternoon, he became engaged in a particularly stimulating conversation with the equally scholarly Mr. Burns. He was so engrossed that not until a few minutes after two did he remember that his class was waiting. Then he hurried to the room—and found the door locked. All of his students recall the dry humor with which he illuminated the Latin classics. Caesar’s “Commentaries” are, of course, only the matter-of-fact records of a literal-minded soldier on campaign, and what humor can be wrung from them is dry at best. One of Mr. Trow’s students has spoken reminiscently of his Latin text book—a volume in which a former student had added pencilled notes of the high points of the course. When the translation had proceeded to a point where the words “doctor joke” stood in the margin, Mr. Trow delivered himself of a measured, preliminary, “Har, liar, har.” “To avoid any confusion,” he said, “you should all know that this Marcus Piso that Caeser writes about is not related, as far as we know, to Mr. Piso of Warren, who has advertised his patent medicines in so many places.” It is not a very funny joke on paper, and it was not a convulsingly funny joke in class, but it was comic relief in contrast to Caesar. Like hundreds of other comments, it had its place in the course, and was faithfully repeated, year after year. There was the standard greeting, “Good morning this beau-ti-ful morning.” There was the oft repeated offer of a “beau-ti-ful colored chromo” to anyone who could explain correctly certain elusive ablatives. There were scores of undeviating little habits—habits as undeviating as his devotion to his aged, invalid mother, to care for whom Mr. Trow retired in 1924 from the teaching that he loved, while he explained that his motive was to have more time for study. It is significant that his students never resented that methodical disposition. It is more significant that they so enjoyed being bullied into a semblance of scholarship that they invariably referred to their instructor as “Pop.” Carter W. Trow was a man whose life seemed, to those did not know him thoroughly, to be lived in a groove. Yet one of his students, long an intimate friend, and now his executor, remem- bers him as a gay companion of bicycling days, and at the theatre. Scores of others recall the true breadth of his interests, which never cropped out when Latin was the real business in hand. The many facets of his fine mind were never displayed, but they might be discovered. He was a true scholar, a rigorous taskmaster, and a polished gentleman—and they called him “Pop.” 107 —John Gould Curtis. 19 SIP CIVICS Ai AN 33 The Carnival Strong Vincent’s Greater Carnival, held November 22, 1932, proved to be the most successful affair, both from a financial and a social outlook, that has ever been included in the school calendar. Late in October, Council, in order to defray the expenses for the coming year, decided to stage this affair. President Rodney Brown appointed a committee, consisting of five members under the able chairmanship of Edward Kidman, with Mr. Anderson as adviser, to take general charge. A meeting of the Council Advisors and Officers, the Carnival Committee, and the Ways and Means Committee was called. At this meeting it was decided to divide the Carnival into twelve sections or committees with a student chairman and a faculty advisor for each. They were: Committee Student Chairman Police Richard Harter Faculty Advisor Mr. Blake M id way Ticket Sales Side Shows Auditorium Catherine Galmish assisted by Martha Nicklas John Bonnell Bob Edwards Paul Hooper Claire Weil assisted by John Preston Rodney Brown Gerald King assisted by Catherine Roth Dorothea Mulvey Donald Joy Miss Burke and Mr. Humphreys Mr. Armagost Miss Warfel Mss Bryce and Miss Barringer Pool Willard Crittenden Miss Weinheimer assisted by and Pauline Shanor Paul Covey Mr. Monahan Gym Work George McCarthy Mr. Kramer Dance Walter Graft assisted by Paul Dennis Miss Burger Publicity Gerald Bettes Miss Kane assisted by and Claire Weil Edward Kidman Miss Disterdick Food Margaret Giantonio Robert Turner Miss Rheinhold Costumes Helen McDermott Miss Benson Clean-up Duncan Borland assisted by Barbara Brunner Claire Weil Paul Hooper Edward Kidman Gerald Bettes Rodney Brown 108 19 SIPO IKIES MAN 3 3 The Carnival With an efficient committee, consisting of Martha Nicklas, Bettie McPher- son, Marian Little, Janet Fishel, Keith Hamilton, Donald Smith, Rodney Brown, Robert Williamson, Richard Eisenberg, William Loose, under the chair- manship of Claire Weil assisted by John Preston, the advance ticket sale suc- ceeded to an extent never before attained in the history of Central or Strong Vincent. The Midway under the expert supervision of Miss Burke gave a show about which people are still talking. Prehistoric animals, tumblers, fire-eaters, sword swallowers, strong men, midgets and tall men featured in this event. The Auditorium show, the main event of the evening, succeeded in fulfilling and even surpassing all expectations. The Misses Bryce and Barringer and their efficient committee are to be highly congratulated on the fourteen splendid acts, employing only school talent, which were included in the program. Outstanding is the fact that the music and lyrics for the finale were written by Donald Joy, a senior. The boys and girls swimming teams showed again, in the Carnival Pool Exhibition, that ability which has won for them and the school these state championships year after year. The six hundred spectators saw these human fish perform, with the greatest facility, seemingly impossible tricks. A write-up of this activity would be incomplete if we failed to mention the side shows. Under the capable leadership of Rodney Brown and Miss Warfel, fourteen shows were produced by various home rooms. Perhaps the three most successful of these were Monte Carlo by home room 114, Bingo by home room 110, and the House of Horrors by home room 217. The financial success of this department can be easily discerned by a glance at the financial statement. The social success was evidenced by the enjoyment which our patrons obviously derived from it. The final and crowning glory of the affair was.the dance. The huge crowd spent a happy, last hour at the Carnival dancing to the music of the Syncopating Colonels in the Girls Gym, which was effectively illuminated with indirect lights of different shades. The financial summary is as follows: Receipts____________________ . .$506.52 Expenses___________________________ 110.42 Net Profit_________________________$396.10 The sponsors of this event wish to express their deepest appreciation for the splendid cooperation accorded them and also wish to congratulate the student body and the faculty on the complete success of the Carnival. 109 19 SPOKESMAN Official Popularity Contest leiiuns Boy Richard Harter Breed Best Looking Girl .Evelyn Norrell Robert Moser..

One faire daie this blustrie winter 1 percieved myself parked with ye venerable Dr. Jonson directlie before ye marvellouse ediffice, Strong Vincent Secondarie School, whereas my greate friend did deem it fittinglie to remark to some greate length on ye subjecte of ye moderne upstartes and mentioned with some heate as to where they were alle bound to go in ye ende. Lette me bestow his profounde words on ye fortunate eager readerie: “Ye moderne youthe renders ye wolde dizzy with ye strange jazz swaggering, hideous with ye boup, boup a doupe! and ye hotte chaaa, choked with ye smoke of manie toasted cigarretties, foul with ye stenche of bad liquorie, mad with ye goings out and comings in, and dead from ye generale numbness below ye skulls!” (Ed. note)—Dr. Jonson would have said more (undoubtedly) but at this point both men were fortunately strangled. 114 19 SPOKESMAN 35 J A Senior’s Speech Parents, teachers, schoolmates, led me your ears, I am about to leave this school, not to enter it. The good I have done is being sent out with me The evil remains here on permanent files and report cards So let it be a warning. The patient teachers have said I was lazy; If this were so, it was a grievous fault, And unintentionally have I answered it. Here under leave of Miss Burger and the rest,— For Miss Burger is a patient teacher; So are they all, all patient teachers. Come, I speak in my departure You are my judges, with sentence awaiting. But P. D. Schenck says I was lazy And P. D. Schenck is an honorable man Now Miss J. Connell has drilled many facts into my head These facts were much too dry to stick Did this then mark me lazy? And when brighter pupils failed, I did not. Laziness should be made of duller stuff Yet Miss Kane says I was lazy and Miss Kane is a patient teacher. You all did see that in the month of June They thrice times twice gave out my tests Which in three of them I failed, was this laziness? Yet Mr. Armogost says I am lazy And surely he is a patient teacher. I speak not to disprove what my teachers spoke, But here I am to speak what I do know. I passed before,—not without brains What cause withholds me then to graduate? Oh knowledge, thou art fled to brighter pupils And I have lost my school-days, Bear with me! My widsom is on that paper, there by Mr. Nicely, And I breathe not ’till he calls out my name. (With apologies to Shakespeare and the teachers of Strong Vincent High School.) 115 —Ruth Keil. ■ 19 SPOKESMAN Tc the Faculty Some Helpful Easy Rules for the Guidance of our Dear Faculty 1. Try to keep awake at least while teaching, as it has surprising advantages. 2. Do not try to convince the students that you are right, if you are, they will find it out. 3. Do not converse with your neighbors in the halls after the second bell as it disturbs the students. 4. Tell your jokes to all but Seniors, please! 5. Count five to twenty times after each mistake. 6. Show no mercy to the undergrads. 7. Don’t make eyes, it demoralizes the earnest scholar. 8. After memorizing the above selected rules, write each two hundred times and throw paper into waste basket. (Ed. note) throw this into the basket too. 116 LITERARY If the Truth Were Tcltl-- There would be either an end to war, or constant hostility between, all the inhabitants of this earth. I am a firm believer in the truth—at all times and in all places. The question next in order is: do I practise what 1 believe? Well, (pause for stammering) that depends. Take, for instance, this business (or art or sorcery) of writing essays on prescribed subjects. May I state that there is nothing as sandpapery to the mind of a pseudo-author, as “writing to order.” You may compare the difference between the result of inspiration or “mood” and the result of selection and command to the difference be- tween tailored clothes and ready-made apparel. In other words—to tell the truth—I am tired in every joint of mind with the unused exertion of fitting essays to titles. When young and plotless I often jotted down a list of chapter titles and wrote a story suggested by them. Needless to say the result was a patchwork quilt, not a unified story. Now, having removed that from my system, I am ready to attack the real question. If I write only the truth about everything, as I see it, what does that make me? A satirist? Or, in less polite terms, a mud-slinger? Or just an independent, fearless speaker? Or a fool for antagonizing powerful foes? There is an old saying:-“It is the truth that hurts.” That is what makes it such a powerful weapon. No one knows better than the bluffer what a sinking feeling of hopelessness floods the mind, when someone calls his bluff and uncovers the naked and shivering truth. He is shamed. What can he do to “save his face?” I am afraid he has only one resort; but that is a good one. “Can it be called truth,” he may ask, “if the statement proceed from the mouth of a fool?” The deep thinker can answer him by asserting that there are two kinds of “truth:”—the kind which is real, an existing fact, no matter who states it; and the so-called truth, as one person believes it. In this latter division I would like to place all the surmises, disagreeing “facts,” and opinions of the history texts, and the criticisms and sickly-sweet praises of the works of famous writers. If the Truth Were Told—(and this may be false, being only my opinion) something is wrong in the methods of presenting English and history. We are to accept the “facts” as they are given us and digest them without question. We may not express our own opinions of the deeds and writ- ings of our illustrations dead. Yet the average student is too dull to appreciate these deeds and writings enough to criticize them with any degree of fairness. However, freedom and tolerance dictate that everyone shall have a right to their own opinions. At least we insist on harboring a few doubts as to the authenticity of much that is stated in school text books. To find out why the truth is not told, we might investigate the use of lies. Why do we despise and abhor the liar? Why is he an outcast? Because we cannot trust him? We, ourselves, (I venture to include everyone) practise some subterfuge,—are not absolutely “on the level” every minute. For example, a friend approaches all decked out in an eye-striking costume and chrips, “How do you like my new dress?” Your inner soul shrinks from the obvious misfit and clashing colors of the garment, but you chirp, just as sweetly, “Oh! It’s gorgeous! Such a pretty shade and it looks so well on you!” If the Truth Were Told—you would probably say, “It’s a nightmare! Haven’t you any sense of color combination? Haven’t you any idea of style?” Why, then, do you tell an obvious untruth? You are a liar, but you would be highly in- censed if anyone told you so. You have no twinge of conscience. If you had, you told your “wee small voice” to lie down in a corner. You didn't want to hurt your friend’s feelings. You did it then in her defense. And so, by coming in backwards, we reach the kernel of all the mischief. Lying is done for defense (usually self). The murderer’s alibi, perfectly untrue, attempts to defend him from fate. The little boy says he didn’t take any jam, (though his mouth is smeared with it) to defend himself from parental wrath. And so on—even as you and I. Since self-defense is a primary human instinct, lying will cease to exist only when human nature is changed. Before such a cataclysm, this “terrestial ball” shall have burst in a thousand fragments and a shower of sparks. Until then telling the absolute and unadulterated truth will be reckless courage, employed by one-tenth of the people one-tenth of the time. Anyway, perhaps I have not told the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth writing this essay! But would you? Martha Jane 1lagenlocher. in 118 19 33 Editor’s Note— In spring a young person's fancy naturally turns to the writing of poetry. Behold, the finished products I Spring Spring Winter departs with her mask of white, Gentle breezes unfurl the leaves, The glory of Nature is at its height, A sigh of contentment the whole world heaves. Small green buds shoot through the earth To blossom forth into colors bright, The sun in its blue bed smiles at the birth Of the new beauty which follows the night. The robin with his scarlet breast, Sings to the wide world and to his mate A song of love so divinely blest, That each to his love the same strains relate. The dew of morning sparkles like a jewel In the sunlight, every beam reflecting the hue Of dawn, like a rainbow would on a spool, Or the red of the sunset fading into the blue. —Mary Louise Quay. Spring My heart is heavy, as I see My feathered friends begin to flee; I sadly watch the leaves fall down, And lie neglected on the ground; The days are cold, the snow drifts deep, And all the nature seems asleep. Time flies, and soon one lovely morn I wake to find the world reborn; The budding trees, the robin's trill My heart to overflowing fill ; I watch the sunbeams, sparkling, bright, Dispell the shadows with magic light; I see all things, so fresh, so dear, Tm gay again, for Spring is here. —Claire Weil. Spring The Wind swept over the naked hills Playing a magic lute, And changed the somber world of green With every budding shoot. Daffodils flaunted golden banners, Songbirds were northward-bound, Every stream sped to join the sea With a joyous, murmuring sound. The melody borne on the fragrant wind, Reaching each nook and lane, Was the song of life returning— With the springtime once again! —Irene Vajda. Spring Fever I'll bet you that the teachers Get spring fever just as we do, I’ll guess there’s lots of mornings That they wouldn’t mind skipping too. Human nature's just the same Whether you are young in years, or aged, You can bet the teackers often feel That Vincent High School has them caged. When they wake on spring mornings They’d love to roll over and say “Guess I’ll stay home this morning, I don’t want to teach today. Teachers, if you feel this way, You may stay home if you wish to, For the students realize That Spring Fever affects you too. —Jo Ann Walters. 119 19 SPOKESMAN Adieu Dear Alma Mater— It is with heavy hearts that we express our deepest regrets upon leaving the school that has so greatly contributed toward moulding our lives and shaping our characters.

For in 196 B. C., no generous supply of paper existed for the dissemination of government information. Despotic rule does not have much need for paper. Things have changed. Taxation without representation is out of fashion. Rule without consent of the governed has a hard road to travel. Information, prompt and detailed, is expected when government makes a move that affects the welfare of citizens. Paper makes this diffusion of official information possible. Hereditary domination of lives and property of subjects went suitably with proclamations cut in stone and baked in clay. Democracy and paper go hand in hand.
