Strong Vincent High School - Spokesman Yearbook (Erie, PA)

Text from Pages 1 - 144 of the 1936 volume:

Foreword In the preparation of The Spokesman I lie members of the editorial, business and arl stall' have attempted to I race I he historical development of Erie. First the Indians with their primitive mode of living roamed over I his site. In 1753 the French invaded the realm, established the military post, Fort Presque Isle, which grew into the city of Erie, and brought the first breath of civilization to the frontier. The French were overthrown by the English who occupied the territory until the founding of a new nation—the United States of America. These hardy pioneers laid the foundation for the great- ness of our country which lias progressed steadily in civilization and in education. The Indian learned only the art of faring for himself in the wilderness. Franciscan missionaries who had accompanied the French, taught the soldiers and children. The Americans instituted the public school system, a unit of which is Strong Vincent High School. Dedication We reverently dedicate this book to the memory of the man who was the founder of our city- Chevalier Le Mer- rier. In the spring of tlie year 1753 Ibis French pioneer, scouting along Lake Erie for a likely spot on which to ereel a fort, was the first white person to set foot on the soil that is now Erie County. To him belongs the further honor of being the man who formulated and executed plans for the construction of the post. As engineer of his expedition, Le Merrier built a log fort not far from t he mouth of Mill Creek. We little realize what a great debt we owe to this scarcely known and unheralded soldier of the wilderness. It is with a great feeling of sincerity, respect, and thankfulness in our hearts that we pay tribute to Chevalier Le Merrier, founder of Erie.

He placed here then a race of men Who called themselves the Eriez when The whitemen came with thoughts of war To dominate this western shore. First came the French with swords of steel And to a cross affixed the seal Of Louis, king of France abroad. Here in New France on foreign sod. Among them was LeMercier W ho had been sent here to survey This land all whitemen envied most. A land the English wished to boast. And when the English envoy came, A man then destained for great fame. Across I he wilds to Fort Le Boeuf. And weathered winter cold and rough. Ho was a spectacle of strength. And LeGradeur then knew at length France could no longer claim these lands. And France must leave Lake Erie’s sands. Now after years of toil and pain Our ancestors have left� a stain Of blood upon this hallowed spot. But it was not spent for naught. They have left a heritage Of virtue, honor to this age. We are strengthened by their error. We can naught but bless the bearer Of the hourglass and the scythe Taking from our midst his tithe. We cannot damn him for his toll For through him we have reached the goal Our fathers w ished us to attain, So to their memory we ordain A city beautiful to see, A happy city, famed and freti. At Presque Isle we have built a park. Our city’s beauteous hierarch. Proud too are we of our fine schools. The most efficient of all tools. Our churches show our inner selves. Our library’s show of crowded shelves Prove we love the finer things The present age’s culture brings. O, thanks ought we not now to give? Thanks for the homes in which we live? Thanks for the blessings of the years Wrought by sweat and salty tears? Leader of French forces at Fort Le Boeuf. William Blair. Jr. Administration Efficient administration plays a major role in the success of an institution. Willi- out this necessary factor there could be no progress. Strong V incent is fortunate in being a part of the excellent school system of the district of Erie with able Superin- tendent Grose and the School Board in executive capacity. Our kindly principal and our experienced,understanding faculty serve as inspirations for our students to become upright, slraight-l hinkingcil izens. The rapid growt h of our high school dur- ing the few years of its existence verities definitely I he fact that it is governed by a wise administration. It is with an ever deepening feeling of appreciation that we view this development. Front Row— Dr. S. L. Scibetta; John Rcinhold, Jr.: John McDonald. Hack Row—Dr. Robert VV.

Board of Education The Board of Education of the city of Erie consists of nine members who form a perpetual body, three of whom are elected by popular vote, every second year for a term of six years. The members, who serve without compensation, direct and regulate the affairs of the School District of Erie under the School Code of the State of Pennsylvania. Eleven Superintendent C. Herman Grose We, ll le students of Strong Vincent I ligli School, wish to take this opportunity to welcome Mr. Grose, as Superintendent of the Erie Public Schools. Since last September Mr. Grose has become a familiar figure in our school life, and we are always happy to see his kindly smiling face in auditorium or class room. We are eager to do our part in making his work as pleasant as possible. Twelve Asst. Superintendent George (). Moore Besides I he Superintendent of Schools, the Board of Education functions through the efficient Assistant Superintendent, Mr. George O. Moore, a familiar figure of the public schools over a number of years. The older alumni remember him as a helpful inspirational teacher at Central. We feel that Mr. Moore is a friend whom we are always glad to welcome to our auditorium or class rooms. Thirteen Faculty Coon, W. Edwin .a Principal Schabacker, Hattie M. Asst. Principal Anderson, F.

In Parting There's a tear in our heart at this parting. And to childhood we hid fond adieu; More lurk to the freshman that's starting To tread the path anew. II's not for the dread of tomorrow. Nor for each solemn thought of today. That we re plunged in the gravest of sorrow, I I’s memory of yesterday! Ve shall miss e en the less kindly teachers, I lie advice and the teaching ignored. Whom we called and considered as preachers W dh whom we once were bored. Let us give to the bright and young student. The advice, that we heeded not, but knew; I hat though you are ever so prudent They always know more than you! — Violet La Russo. Thirty Front Row—Briggs. Marshall.

June Senior Cabinet The Senior Cabinet is composed of the class officers, a rep- resentative chosen from each homeroom and t he class advisers. Because the enrollment of the class is over two hundred and fifty, it would be very difficult for such an unwieldly number to transact business; therefore, the business of the class is entrusted to the cabinet whose duties, under the leadership of Miss Peters and Mr. Shanor, are to discuss and to recommend to the class such activities as dances, ways and means of raising money, and to supervise senior activities. A meeting is held once a week, the class president acting as chairman, and then the proceedings of the meetings are carried back to the students via a report given by the homeroom representative.

FijIy-three TOO BASHFUL TO APPIvAR Alice Elizabeth Handley, “Betty” Library Monitor 4; College Club; Virgil Club. Alvina Dolores De Marco, “Bena” Girl Reserves 4. Louise Agnes Miller Oh. must leave all this behind. Shrill voices, bells and all? Oh. where else wilt I ever find That pleasing clamor of the halt? For years I dreamt of stepping out Into the world of luck and fame. And now have a great, great doubt If happiness can be the same. I was no genius with the square. The circle, trapezoid and line. To leave this place, how can I bear? Would that youth again were nine. Caesar was a task for me. Ij Francois was Ires dur. English I could never see. In science J was very poor. Fll miss that scornful look one gets When he arrives here late. I'll miss those pesky teachers' pets And all the athletes who rate. Oh yes. perhaps my schooling was A bitter failure but, I'll still miss that refreshing pause At Burkhart's or the Hut. William Blair, Jr. Fifty-four THE POUT BEYOND Four years we strove to reach this aim, And now the ending all too near, We look far back across the main, That holds fond thoughts of yester year. For years we worked and played and wrought, As side by side we stood our ground, To praise our school, great heights we sought, Dishonor, shame, we trampled down. Is it for aught, our labor’s o’er? Is it enough to say we’re through? Is it in vain we’ve plied the oar? Through empty sea no porf in view? Ah no, we did not lose our course, Perhaps we wandered now and then, Yet back—the tides of Heaven force, And turn our ship toward port again. Now we are safe, our anchor firm. We’ve docked—but is that all? Is there no other sea to churn? No lofty port to tempt, to call? Yes, God has planned a destined sea. On which to sail, our port to find, Unfurl the sail! the ship, set free! Let’s on, brave crew, head in the wind! -Ferris Humphreys.

Sixfy-Jive Activities Strong Vincent opens a wide and varied field of that extremely necessary part of school life—the extra-curricular activities, which are not only education- al but also social in aspect. These thoroughly worthwhile organizations foster the spirit of service among the students, develop talent along such lines as debating, music, and dramatics, and create interest in the school and in the education that it offers. They give the individual a chance to discover for him- self where his hidden abilities lie, and to enlarge upon these abilities. The ac- tivities are prime factors in developing scholarship, leadership, and character among the students. Hottom How -Bull, Eastman, Dunbar. Martin. Second How—Wilson.

At the beginning of each semester, homeroom representatives, and four faculty advisers, who work together to direct and finance school activities during the year, are elected. Meetings are held once a week, usually on Monday after school. The following morning the representatives report the activities and projects of council to the homeroom pupils for their approval. The most important financial undertakings are the gala carnival, held in November and a musical comedy presented each spring. Besides financing the elaborate school athletic program and extra curricular activities, Council distributes sixty Christmas baskets each year to needy families, grants school letters of merit to students of distinction in athletics and scholarship, renders financial aid to dependent organizations, and sponsors dances and activities, which form a large part of school life. This year Council was responsible for a special lecture course of six interesting speakers who entertained and instructed the students in assembly at various times throughout the year. This one group generally enjoys the approval of the entire student body. I herefore, most of the important problems of the school are submitted to the Student Council. Sixty-n ine Carnival On November 22, Strong Vincent High students presented their Fifth Annual Carnival. The object of the Carnival, which is under the auspicies of the Student Council, is to raise money for school activities. As the gay crowd of visitors entered the brightly decked halls, and were greeted by pretty girls in varied-colored costumes selling many novelties, they immediately took on the spirit of the Carnival. From that point they began the tour of the side shows amid the loud voices of barkers extolling the wonders of each. There were thrills galore in the Aeroplane Rides, Ghost House, Television, and much entertain- ment in the Bingo and Balloon Games, Auction Sales, and Quin- tuplet Replicas. Eight o’clock, time for Auditorium Show, came so quickly that before they knew it, the eager crowds were hurrying for seats to witness the first perfor- mance. From the very moment the orchestra struck the opening num- ber, until the very end, the audience showed their appreciation of the amateur entertainers by loud ap- plause and undivided attention. With the genial host, Dick Eastman, as Master of Ceremonies, and Steve Stroup as S.V.H.S. station an- nouncer, the cast including comedy stars, talented voices, novelty dancers gg and syncopators was neatly blended. For those who enjoyed the more h classical numbers, Vincent offered the Street Singers headed by Gilbert. Bocco, and Bill Neilson, featuring his own piano arrangments. This highly diversified program with all its entertainment, was keenly ap- preciated. Top The Ih-nrys’ ..... Auditorium Middle—Doll's House ..... Side Show Ilotlom Thu Cyclists ..... Midway Show Seventy Carnival From the auditorium the huge crowd separated into two groups, those attending the Pool Show, and those attending the Midway. At the Pool the exciting exhibition began by each participant coasting with a huge splash down a sliding board. However, that was only the beginning, the interest of the audience was further held by novelty skits, formation swimming, fancy diving, and breath taking relays. Outstanding perhaps was an act in which Jerome Bam- baurer was lied in a bag by John Cifor and dropped into the water, only to be seen freed ami swim- ming on the surface several mo- ments later. But as all good things come to an end, this one did too with the effective candle set in which a large S. V. was formed by the entire group of swimmers. From the Pool the joyous spectators crowded into the Midway Show for the last feature in the evening’s entertainment. There the audience saw amusing clowns, balloon dancers, large and unusual animals of all shapes, breath taking acts by “Eq uilibrium” and “Balance” identified perfectly by their names, John Shreve and A1 McCliman’s skillful bicycle stunt ending in a baby carriage, and as a climax to the spectacular affair, a marvelous trunk performance on the rings and parallel bars. With the accomplish- ing of the last feat, the successful Carnival of Strong Vincent came to a close. The Spokesman Board takes this occasion to thank John Hutch- ings and Alan Engstrom for their amateur photographs of the Carnival on pages 70 and 71 of this book. Top—S. V. with Candles .....

The class realized a net profit of fifty dollars from t his activity, which they generously donated to the Spokesman. The play is a comedy concerning I he experiences of twelve California college students quarantined in a sorority house, where Beryl contracts scarlet fever. This upsets I he elopement plans of Edythe and Finlay. Elliot, masquerading as a nurse, gains entrance to the quarantined building, but is ejected by Mrs. Smith, the housemother, when Lela, the real nurse, arrives. After the quarantine is ended, the members of the house hold a banquet to celebrate the happy culmination of a series of troubles. The cast included: Gordon, sorority waiter .

June Senior Class Play “Shirt Sleeves.” the June Senior class play, was presented in the Strong Vincent auditorium on May 15, 1936, under the direction of Mr. Arthur Shepard. The play represents the life of a well- to-do middle-class family at the time of the financial crash. Privations caused by losses through a bank failure transformed the artificial atmosphere of the Hand home into one of human under- standing. Thus adverse circumstances tend to bring together a family separated by selfishness.

These plays com- prising a cast of 75 pupils afford an opportunity to a large number to display talent in dramatics, singing, and dancing. Accordingly on March 12 and 13, “Color Spots,” a Lee-Winter production in three acts, was given. The plot, the catchy music, the attractive set ting, the clever dance steps and the lovely costumes all resulted in an artistic performance. The various choruses each composed of 20 girls and boys—Art Students, Manhattanetts, De- butantes, Color Debs, Fashion Picture Cirls, Old Fashioned Sweethearts, and .Modern Sweethearts accompanied by an all school popular music orchestra were colorful and splendidly executed.

Vice President Secretary Treasurer . Joseph Galli Car niello Pi Placido Gulio Berarducci . Louis Meninni Carry in January of (his year, under the able leadership of Miss Hose M. Galbo, the Italian classes formed the Dante Club. The purpose of the club is to create and develop an appreciation for the cultural, social, and practical values of the Italian language. This deeper insight into the romantic language is gained through pictures, books, slides, and many interesting talks given by members of the club. All Romance languages have a cultural background, but to those students who are able to receive training in the language of their ancestral heritage there comes an unexcelled understanding. for this reason the teaching of Italian was begun in the city of Erie at Roosevelt School in September, 1933, where it may be studied for a year with continuance of the course at Strong Vincent for two years. Since the Italian classes have been only recently initiated in our school curriculum, membership in the Club is not limited, as all students of Italian are eligible. The officers meet on the first Monday of each month, and the entire Club meets twice each semester. This year the Italian Club is undertaking a project, an exhibition of the work done during the semester. This will be the first, display of the Italian Club and we are looking forward to it with interest and curiosity. We wish this new organization success in its undertakings this year and in the years to come. Seventy-seven Holton, How—Hutchins, McNeill, Lavery. SpofTord, Levin, Krimmel, Seib, Byrd, G. Brown.

Vice President Secretary and Treasurer Chairman of Program Committet . Richard Eastman Retty Rrillon Winifred Arnes Jeanne Luke Although the French Club did not function this year until the beginning of the second semester, it was efficiently organized then, and proceeded with speed to plan interesting programs for the remainder of the school year. The object of the club is to arouse greater interest and enjoyment in tilt French language and to engage in certain pleasant, as well as useful activities, which regular class time does not allow. The initial meeting proved very gratifying with a large attendance of French enthusiasts eager to participate. After the usual routine of electing officers and a program chairman, the committee planned the work for the monthly meetings. Miss Bourquin, the capable faculty adviser, asked the members to continue the French correspondence plan established last year at our school between French students of English in various parts of France, and the students of French at Strong Vincent. The interchange of letters has proved a source of great interest to the recipients, bringing first hand information from a foreign land, testing their ability in a foreign tongue, and demonstrating the French students’ proficiency in our language. Mr. Dean delivered a good talk at one of the meetings, his subject being “Corsica,” which land he has visited during his World War enlistment. To the third year French students Mr. Dean’s lecture had particular interest, because the scene of the action of “Colomba,” the text of that class, is Corsica. The last project which the French Club is working upon, as this book goes to press, is a play spoken in French to be given in the auditorium at the regular assembly. Seventy-eight German Club OFFICERS President . Vice President Secretary . Treasurer .lames Marlin John Shreve William Eherl Leo Wagner In regular class periods there is little lime to wander into the delightful little paths that open to one as he studies more intimately the life of a foreign people. An after-school club is almost indispensable to make that people’s life more interesting to the student, and to introduce to him the many phases that so richly lend color to its culture. It was with this in mind, that the German Club of Strong Vincent High was organized in 1927. Composed of more than fifty members, the present club is a direct lineal decendant of the German Club of old Central High School. True to tradition, the club is experiencing another successful year, with all of its members gaining a much deeper insight' and appreciation into the Teutonic language. Us success may be attributed to Miss Kohout, who formed the club nearly ten years ago, and has continued as adviser ever since. The chief aim of the club is to acquaint the German students more intimately with the German lang- uage, and with the country whose language they are studying. The programs of the monthly meetings take the form of motion pictures of Germany, songs in the native tongue, talks on German subjects by club members, games, and many delightful social hours work which is both enjoyable and helpful to the students.

Aediles OFFICERS Belly Britton David Schabacker Betty Wilson Betty Zahniser, Katherine Heilman, Lucy Laughlin I he average person thinks of Latin as a still subject, especially if the course endures for four years through the study of Virgil's Aeneid. To prove that advanced Latin is not all work, but a great deal of fun as well, the Virgil Club was organized ten years ago. Under the guidance of Miss Mercer, twenty members of the irgil Club meet on the third Thursday of every month to probe into the more interesting, and perhaps more amusing side of Roman life and character. The club is governed according to the method of old Rome. There are two consuls in charge of alternate meetings; a scriba, who acts as secretary; and three aediles, who together with the three previously mentioned officers, plan programs. Club activities include Roman games, stories, book reviews, descriptions ol ancient Rome and her customs, dramatizations, and interesting lectures which are given with the aim of familarizing members with the poet Publius Vergilius Maro and liis contemporaries. This year the Virgil Club was responsible for a radio program. A dramatiza- tion “The Trial of Latin Language” was reproduced by nine members of the club. I his insight into Latin in general, and Virgil’s Aeneid in particular, affords much interest and at the same time has educational value. Members of the Virgil Club will be sorry to leave these old Roman heroes with whom they have become so intimately acquainted. Eighty Sealed Eichenlaub. Luke, A. Lavery, lr.

Debating Club For the second year, the Strong Vincent Debating Team has been a member of the Lake Erie Debating League, sponsored by Allegheny College and composed of Erie East, Jamestown, North East, Fredonia, and Vincent. The object of this league is to stimulate interest in debating activities through annual interscholastic meets. Requirements for membership in the Debating Club are scholarship, personality, and the ability to speak well. The club is composed of 20 members. At first all the members may not be assigned to teams; nevertheless, they prove themselves very valuable in doing research work, gathering material, aiding the veteran debaters, and gaining experience for themselves. Although the Debating Club was not organized until the second semester, our teams, with Mr. Pratt as coach, have engaged in a number of debates with schools in the League. They par- ticipated also in two non-decision debates with Harborcreek High and the Jewish Temple. The debaters handled the subject for this season—“Resolved that the several states should enact legisla- tion providing for a system of complete medical service available to all citizens at public expense”- expertly on both the negative and affirmative sides. As the Spokesman goes to press, the schedule of debates has not been complete, and the debaters are eager to win the trophy offered by Allegheny College. We wish these young enthusiats success and are proud of their efforts. ighly-one First tow—Butler, Lavery, Miss Bennett, Mr. Humphrey, Miss Pearce, Walling, Russell, Schaffner.

Spokesman Board In creating this book, the Spokesman Board has endeavored to present to Strong Vincent an accurate, lasting history of school activities during the scholastic year 1935-36. We hope that succeeding classes will follow our example, thus forming a complete pictorial and written record of the development of our high school. The members of the Board have worked earnestly and diligently in furthering this purpose. Not only have they done the school a great service, but they themselves have also received much benefit from their efforts. They have become experienced in planning, managing, editing, and in the technical work connected with the publishing of a year book. Without a doubt much of this information will be of value to them in the future—either in college or at work. Modernization and innovation have been prominent factors in the production of this annual. A theme has been introduced to connect and give continuity to the different divisions; the art work is extremely instrumental in carrying this out. Representation of all departments, classes and active organizations in the entire school brings an added interest to the book. We know Strong Vincent will be justly proud of its revived tradition the Spokesman. and We wish to take this opportunity to express our deep and sincere appreciation for the guidance aid we have received from our faculty advisers.

News Editor-in-Chief Assistant Editor News Editor OFFICERS Jane Carl sen A llene Stephens DeWiil Hull As early as 1869, records show that Erie High School was the proud possessor af an annual school newspaper entitled “High School News.” In the following year this same paper continued to issue-copies monthly, and from that time forth, school papers have appeared intermittenly. The Strong Vincent News was instituted in 1932 when it was decided that a regular class period would he devoted to its development. Now. in 1936, our school paper has proved itself a vital part of the machinery which serves the student body. The staff has three aims; first, to present all the news both accurately and vividly; second, to recognize talent and aptidude in the journalistic field; and third, to try to cultivate an even richer talent in its students for the benefit of the school they serve. With Mr. Schenck as teacher, the Strong Vincent News Class meets daily during the sixth period. At this time, the students work diligently to publish a paper devoted to the welfare and interest of the school and its students. Miss Ilearn acts as English critic when the copy is finished. To become a member of the News Class, the applicant must show some journalistic talent, and should excel in English. The 1935-36 class has worked earnestly to give the students a worthwhile paper. Members of the News Staff have been most cooperative in every undertaking, and the Spokesman Board is particularly appreciative to the News for printing the Senior (.lass Will and Prophecy which were formerly included in the year book.

Miss Mercer, Miss Mercer The National Honor Society consists of a group of Juniors and Seniors who are chosen near the end of each semester by a senate composed of a representative group of the faculty. Only five percent of the second-semester Juniors, ten percent of the first-semester Seniors, and fifteen percent of the graduating class are eligible. Membership in this society is the highest honor that can be granted by Strong Vincent. I he object of the chapter is to create an enthusiasm for scholarship, to stimulate a desire to render service, to promote worthy leadership, and to encourage the development of character in the pupils of Strong Vincent High: hence the selection of members is based on these four principles, which are signified by the emblem of the society, the keystone and the flaming torch. Strong Vincent Chapter ol the National Honor Society has been in existence since 1928, and now has an active membership of 28 and an alumni of 140. The number received in the past semester is the largest ever accepted in this chapter. I hose selected for membership are initiated at a banquet given in their honor, to which all active and alumni members are invited. The National Honor Society without doubt contributes more to the cultural and character formation phase of school life than any other group.

This organization, brought from Central, is one of our worthwhile institutions, and has grown in authority and the amount of respect it commands. At the beginning of each semester Miss Burger, the adviser, selects a group of eighty students to whom the monitorial duties are entrusted. The students forfeit their study periods and assume the posts assigned to them in the halls. The head monitors, six in number—one for each period, have a position of responsibility and deserve a great deal of credit for the success of the system. It is their duty to see that every member of their force is at his post and. if a monitor is absent from school, to fill his place in the hall. To each monitor is issued a card signed by Mr. Coon and Miss Burger signifying their responsibility and authority. Each monitor should cooperate with t he administration in maintaining order in the halls during class- room hours, in policing the cafeteria, checking excuses and lunch permits of any student who leaves the building during school hours, in directing visitors to the building, and in turning on and oil the lights in the halls during and after the exchange of periods. The student body has cooperated with the monitors in maintaining the order and quiet which is characteristic of Strong Vincent. The success of this system is largely due to Miss Burger who so ably and successfully directs the work of the monitors. The plan of having t he students share in the responsibility of maintaining a systematic schedule in school has been entirely successful. Eighty-five ('enter Mr. Brown.

The orchestra is a very active organization both musically and socially. The duties of this group include playing for commencement exercises, for senior class plays, for the meetings of the Parent Teacher Association, and for the Clare Tree Major productions, together with any other school activity which requires orchestra music. The program presented at our regular auditorium was declared a decided success and fully ap- preciated by the student body. One of a series of radio broadcasts, sponsored by the Erie Public School System, was effectively given by the orchestra. This year these students played at a dinner held in honor of the visiting members of the Pennsylvania District of the P. T. A. in convention in Erie. On the social side the orchestra provided a good time for many who attended the skating parties of the past winter. The boys and girls always look forward to the June picnic which is limited exclusively to members. As a whole, the orchestra members are a combination of two good qualities in the right proportion to be success- ful: the ability to work diligently and the ability to play enthusiastically.

In trim black and red uniforms they march and play at all Vincent football games During the last season the boys delighted the spectators by forming S V, “Hello. Fans,” Lions, Tech. East, and the letters, if not the full names of all opposing teams. This display was made possible by the supervision of an alumnus of our school. John Schapter. The band has presented radio broadcasts and played at the March meeting of the Parent-Teachers Association. Any boy in the school who can play a band instrument has the privilege of becoming a member of the band. Here he is instructed daily in the technique of music under the skilled direction of Mr. John Ramsay Brown, who is the sole judge of eligi- bility. In June of each year tie Student Council appropriates five minor school letters to be awarded to t lie band members who, having been in the band for a period of at least three years, show the most improve- ment. At the end of each school term the members have a picnic on the peninsula. This is their only purely social function. Our band certainly should be highly commended for their excellent music and the splendid appearance of the boys in the school uniforms. Eighty-seven Front Row—Spath, E. Rocco.

Dan Riley Secretary Michael Zimmerman The Strong Vincent High School Glee Club, organized only in February. 1935, now ranks the highest of any male chorus in the local high schools. This phenomenon may lx attributed to the great abundance of talent which our school furnished, to the competent directing of Mr. Obed L. Grender. and to the capable accompanying of Annis Bretts. The assiduous work of the boys made possible school assembly programs, concerts at Roosevelt Junior High School, a spring concert in May 1935, and two broadcasts over LEU. The type of song which the chorus interprets has much to do with its popularity. The Glee Club chose carefully and now has on its repertoire a fine variety of selections, among which are the following favorites: The High Barbaree .... Armbrusler Song of the Marching Men . Prolheroe Golden Slippers ..... Zeiner Three Sea Chanteys .... Bartholomew Twilight ...... Goldsworthy The Old Road .... Scott. Hunting Song ..... De Koven Integer Vitae .....

Gerard Miller Cynthia I fill John Krimmel Georgette Bayer James Eisenburg Our A’Capella Choir was organized in the fall of 1932. The purpose of the body is to faster and pro- mote A’Capella music in public schools. The roll is composed of a selected group of thirty-eight girls and thirty-eight boys. Under the direction of Mr. Obed L. Grender the choir practices daily during the fifth period. Last year the choir presented programs to enthusiastic audiences in Silver Creek. Westfield, Ripley, and Saegertown; and was asked for return engagements, certainly a confirmation of their worth. The Church of the Covenant in Erie, has requested that the choir present an annual spring concert at the Church as a part of the regular schedule. St. Mathew’s Lutheran Church, in Erie, was the scene of a winter pro- gram by the chorus. The members always present a stunning picture in robes of dark green velvet and ivory satin surplices.

The thirty-five members sing together four times a week under the able coaching of Miss Sylvia Galinsky. The aims of this body are to prepare the girls for membership later in the A’Oapella Choir, and to give girls who enjoy group singing an opportunity to develop their voices. During the first, semester the group furnished a program for school assembly and for the radio. The voiced approval of the students seems proof that, the proficiency of the organization is being brought more and more to the attention of the school as a whole, and that the chorus is well on its way to attain an active and successful position among the musical organizations of Strong Vincent High School. Some of the selections sung by the chorus are: Ave Maria . Arcadell The Green Cathedral Hahn The Cossack Lullaby Bussian Folk Soruj I Dream of Jeannie Stephen Foster Minuet of the Dolls .

Model Civil) The Strong Vincent Model Airplane Club was organized over a year ago by a group of model plane enthusiasts. The purpose of the club is to arouse interest in building airplane models, and to provide competition among the members. With Mr. Blake as faculty adviser, and Alan Kngstrom as president, the club has been con- stantly active in meeting, designing and flying their planes. This organization showed its talents in contributing joy and amusement to Carnival goers last fall when the boys set up a model passenger airplane in a novel side-show. No other high school in the city has a model airplane club, so meets with other clubs.

Jack Me Neill In the early fall an enthusiastic group of Juniors and Seniors met to form the college Club. The only requirements for membership are that each applicant belong to the Junior or Senior Class, and that he be pursuing a high school course, preparatory to college. A constitution was drawn up. officers were elected, and under the able guidance of Miss Florence Burger the Club got under way. The first meeting was held with a large attendance of those eager to obtain information about particular colleges. Since that time have occurred interesting bi-monthly meetings, with talks on college requirements by Mr. Goon and other speakers. The program committee planned a lively schedule for the year. Informa- tion has been obtained and reported to the Club concerning scholarships, student aid, and tuition in many different schools. A complete set of up-to-date catalogues has been received and filed for reference. At various time throughout the year representatives from such colleges as Goucher, Allegheny, Oberlin, Rensselaer Polvthechnic Institute, and the University of Buffalo have visited our school, interviewed the pupils interested, and furnished any information desired. Thus, prospective college students gain a clearer insight into their approaching college life. Besides providing this information, the College Club promotes fellowship among the students as they are brought together in their common interest. Ninety-two Front Row—Mao Murray. Sampieri, Frenis.

Girl Reserves President Vice President Treasurer Secretory . . .lane (Utrisen Mary Frances Gilson Mary Walling Janet Eichenlaub When the present Girl Reserve Club of Strong Vincent High School was organized at Old Central in 1925. it stood for one principle—service. Since that time, because of the period of depression, service has developed into welfare; and the club devotes much of its energy to aid those less fortunate members of our own school and community. At Christmas time many toys and baskets of food were distributed to the i oor and needy. Another welfare project enjoyed by the girls is the annual entertainment which they give at the Old Ladies Home. With the Misses Mercer, Wilson and Burger as helpful club advisers, the girls have held many delightful meetings, occasional teas, and parties. Several of the outstanding entertainments in which the girls have participated are the Shirley Temple Party, given in October to terminate the initiatory ceremonies of the new members; the Tri-Club Dance, a very gala affair taking place during the Thanksgiving vacation; and a Leap Year Dance held in February. As the school year draws to a close The Girl Reserves feel quite satisfied with the successful season which they have finished and all join in thanking the advisers, oflhors and students who have devoted their time and energy to this worthwhile work.

Edward Tarulli I ho purpose of the Ili-Y Club, a strong and nationwide organization, is to create, maintain, and extend throughout the school and the community high standards of Christian character. The chapter members of Strong Vincent High School, under the joint advisership of Mr. Pratt, of our faculty, and Mr. Reiman of the Y.M.C.A., promise at initiation to adhere to these standards; and, in so doing, exert a decided moral influence on our school. In addition to the aim of the club, there are four other objectives, equally important namely, sports, scholarship, clean speech, and right living. With all the members striving steadily toward these ideals one may easily realize what a decidedly constructive force the Hi-Y is. Membership in the Hi-Y chapter of Strong Vincent is decidedly limited in number. An applicant must be recommended by a member of the Hi-Y, each member having the privilege of endorsing one new member for the succeeding year. The applicants are then voted upon by the entire member- ship) and must be endorsed by all, or the names are withdrawn. The boys who arc successful are informally initiated. After this ceremony follows a formal initiation at which the new members solemnly give their word to uphold the principles of the Hi-Y and the four points previously men- tioned. The meetings held once a week at the Y.M.C.A. building take the form of social gatherings where the boys have a great deal of fun, always keeping the ideals in mind.

Pep, punch and willingness to work for the chief requirements of an aspirant to the cheerleading job. A good strong voice is a necessity. During practice sessions the halls resound with an unearthly din. The flailing arms of the dozen accepted candidates fill the air. and after weeks of practice these pupils are ready to perform their appointed tasks. They are the backbone of school spirit which they serve to arouse to the highest possible degree. Candy Sellers A group which plays an important but hardly noticed role in the activities of Strong Vincent is the candy sellers. Each year since the founding of our school approximately ten girls, under the supervision of Miss Willard Wright, have given their time to this worthy, but previously unlauded service. From two-thirty until three o’clock every afternoon one may find salesgirls, with boxes of candy, posted throughout the halls of the building, displaying their wares to an eager student body. During five years the candy proceeds have added a total fund of $950 to the assets of the Student Council treasury. Through this fund many sports and organizations such as the A’Capella Choir and the band have been aided. The responsibility of selling candy is undertaken by the girls of the sophomore class.

The ushers are always mindful of the safety and comfort of the members of the audience, whether it be a student or an adult gathering.

Stage Crew The stage crew is a group little known to many of pur students. Nevertheless, it is most dependable organization of reliable hard working boys whose work is a decided advantage to the school. Although t hey wear no particular uniforms, as do many other members of the various organizations, lliey are frequently busier than those whose services are ever in the public eye. Their work is not the most delightful, nor the cleanest in the school; but despite all this, it is most essential. During the performances the stage hands see very little or none of the programs, as they are busy behind the scenes arranging lights and getting ready for the next change of setting. Many different scenes follow so closely that swift shifting of the stage is necessary. The boys accomplish this easily and speedily. The stage crew are one group which functions without officers under I he direction of Mr. Shanor. The crew realize the importance of their work and cooperate so willingly that no further organization is needed. Ninety-seven Athletics Well-directed alhlelic activities tend to improve physical well-being, encourage the growth of good sportsmanship, and develop a vigorous school spirit. Strong incent oilers a wide range of sports from which the student may select. The benefit and pleasure derived from our athletics is evidenced by I lie large pro- portion of boys and girls who each year compete in intramural and interscholastic events, and by the splendid cooperative teams which are produced. Participation in these activities is a true character builder, forming such qualities as self- reliance, mental alertness, and reliability, all vital for the development of model young citizens.

Coaches Since the completion of Strong Vincent High School six years ago, we have been fortunate in our coaching stall'. Our athletic victories have been due in a great degree to the efforts of the coaches, but set-backs have occurred in spite of them. In bringing Football through a difficult season and capturing the City Basketball Championship for the Red and Black, Physical Director Harold “Sam” Kramer was assisted by Kenneth “Bed” Cochrane, Bertile Gustavson. Justin McCarthy, and John Wallach. Mr. Cochrane has spent long hours instilling championship tactics into the Track team. Our prowess on Gridiron, Court, and Track attests the ability of these mentors. In Swimming, Mr. Weible has made the Vincent team respected throughout Pennsylvania, as well as bringing the Water Polo combination within an ace of the city championship. Mr. Humphrey has worked hard to make our Tennis team one of the most formidable in Erie county. The Golf team, coached by F. S. Anderson, has built up a fine record. In the past year. Miss Wcinheimer offered to Vincent girls an opportunity to compete in Inter- scholastic and Intra-mural sports for which they should be deeply grateful. In the Inter-scholastic field, the Girls’ Swimming team has been in the spotlight, but in Intra-mural Sports, every active girl had a chance to participate. Deck Tennis, Shuflleboard, Volleyball, and Basketball furnished keen competition. Words cannot express our appreciation to the coaches of our school; rather it is reflected in the name Vincent has made for herself in athletics, and in the clean, healthy minds and bodies of our boys and girls.

Graduating Lettermen t Keltirning Lcttcrmen Varsity Football The annual football call in May, 1935, brought forth more than 100 enthusiastic boys. Although no spring games were scheduled, the team devoted several weeks to intensive drill under the competent direction of Coach Kramer. A few days before the opening of school in September, the squad reassembled and began practice for the most difficult schedule the Red and Black squad has ever had to face. This schedule had been arranged with the thought of a championship team still predominate in our minds, in spite ol the fact, that only two regulars remained from the spectacular aggregation of last year. Although the season began with a sweet tasting 13 to 0 victory at the expense of Prep, if ended rather disastrously for us. All in all the football season of 1933 was a mediocre one, but the team hampered by injuries and continued misfortune, fought courageously to the last second of the last game, living up to that glorious title “The Fighting Colonels.” Sept. 21 SCHEDULE Vincent 13 Cathedral Prep 0 Sept. 27 Vincent 0 Dunkirk 13 Oct. 5 Vincent 6 East 26 Oct. 11 Vincent 0 Brad ford 20 Oct. 18 Vincent 13 Mead ville 16 Oct. 26 Vincent 2 Tech 19 Nov. 1 Vincent 6 Jamestown 13 Nov. 9 .

I his hitherto unheralded group of boys has always served as a practice opponent for the Varsity, and also as a source of material lor the older group. This year the Reserves played their own schedule with much greater success than the Varsity. An otherwise perfect record was spoiled by a defeat at the hands of the Varsity team of Falconer, New York. The boys were successful; however, in winning the mythical title of Erie Reserve Champions. great deal ol attention should be paid to the excellent record compiled by these boys, for they rep- resent the backbone of the Varsity team for the next two years. Their fighting spirit, good sportsmanship, and determination have won for them the respect and admiration of all their opponents, as well as of the entire student body. Knowing that tlieir record insures a conquering team next year, we congratulate them and their competant coaches on their effort and success. SCHEDULE Oct. 2 Vincent 40 McKean 6 Oct. 5 .

The team swept through an impressive schedule with the loss of but five games out of twenty- six contests. The boys started out like a whirlwind winning at first eight consecutive games, then hit a mid-season slump only to rise to unprecedented heights in a last minute difficult drive for the Basketball Championship of Erie. The competition was so fierce, the schedule so difficult, that Vincent ended in a tie with both East and Tech at the completion of the regular season. This difficulty was eliminated by two play-off games, in the first of which Tech conquered East, and in the second, the former was decidedly beaten by the Bed and Black. The team, representing the Erie district, traveled to Greenville and played Sharon for the District 10 Title, only to lose in a close, hard fought game by the score of 42-37. To their coach, to whom much of the credit is due, as well as to the capable captain and the members of the squad we pay tribute to their success. In December Vincent met with the following result: Westfield 36-16, Vincent Alumni 35-29, Alliance Academy 42-20, Westfield 34-23, Girard 54-17, Farrell 26-22, Sharpsville 31-30: In January Dunkirk 37-28.

Basketball Reserves For the first, time in the history of Strong Vincent HighSchbol the Basketball Reserves played a prearranged schedule of their own. Both Coach Kramer and his assistant, Mr. Cochrane, con- sidered this squad chiefly as a source of material for the championship Varsity team. The games were played for the most part as preliminaries to the Varsity games with opponents who were well qualified to test the mettle of our players. 'Two games were scheduled with Tech and one with Fast Vincent’s contribution to “The Little Basketball Series.” The Reserves also met the formidable teams of North East, Union City, Wesley ville, and Meadville with gratifying results. Mr. Kramer constantly changed men and positions, in order to obtain capable substitutes for his Varsity team. The Reserves also proved useful in providing practice games for the Varsity. They tried to imitate the style of play of the major opponents of the Varsity and. in that way, prepare the members of the regular team for the next battle. For these serv ices, as well as for the success of their own schedule, the Reserves have earned much praise. In December Vincent met with the following teams: Church of Clirisi 19-25, Sprowls 16-24, St. Andrew’s 31-14, North East 41-34. Union City 18-34: In January with East 20-25, Wesleyville 41-35. Meadville 23-21, Tech 26-21; in February Meadville 23-28. Westside W arriors 29-16, Tech 27-32 and Y.M.C.A. 25-21, making a total number of points for Vincent 339 against the opponents’ 330.

Boys’ Swimming Swimming at Strong Vincent tinder the able coaching of Mr. Arthur Weibel has always been a major sport and one in which we have taken great pride. Although defeated for the city champion- ship. the swimming season of this year was probably the most successful in many ways that Strong Vincent has ever experienced. The team triumphantly opened the season by invading the home waters of North Tonawanda, and defeating the latter by the close score of 44 to 31. This meet was the first aquatic competition between the two schools. After finishing second to Tech in the city series, the team showed its fighting spirit by tying Tech for first in the Annual City Quad- rangular. In the last dual meet of the season North Tonawanda invaded our waters and was sent away with a 52 to 23 defeat. Individually, the high point of the season was the breaking of the city 100 yard record by Captain Robert Sehaper who covered the century in 54.2 seconds. Bob also swam the 40 yard free-style, covering the two lengths of the pool in 18.6 seconds-time which nearly equals the National Scholastic record. Herbert Mitchell was another outstanding per- former. coming within less than a second of the city backstroke record. Robert Sehaper. Howard Robison. William Brown, and Herbert Mitchell were honored by receiving invitations to compete in the National Inter-scholastics at Philadelphia, but because of adverse weather conditions were unable to accept. However, in the Twenty-second Annual Inter-scholastic Swimming Meet held April 4 at the University of Pittsburgh, Strong Vincent won second place out of 25 competing schools. In the qualifying heats, the Red and Black splashers dominated the scene, placing seven men and one relay team in the finals. Swimming, unlike the other sports, is a year-round activity. From early September, when the first call is given, until late in May. the candidates for the Boys’ Swimming Team are practicing in the pool nearly every afternoon. Although many of the team, which has been intact for the last three years, will be graduated, we hope their records and spirit will remain an inspiration to future squads.

Water Polo An excellent Water Polo organization has always been a tradition at Vincent and this year was no exception to the old days. The 1935-36 season witnessed one of the greatest Water Polo teams in the history of the school. The squad, under its eflicient mentor, Mr. Weible, effected a most successful campaign, losing but a single game. Although many of the members of the Water Polo team are also on the Swimming team, both teams have the same coach, and both are aquatic sports, it does not necessarily follow that they are identical bodies. They are two separate organizations and their seasons do not conflict. The Water Polo season of this year preceded the Swimming season, while in previous years the Water Polo succeeded the Swimming. In the first game, held December 9, in our own pool, the Vincent lads held the championship Past team to a four to four tie. Bob Schaper, stellar for- ward. accounted for all the Strong Vincent goals. In the next two encounters Vincent defeated Tech and Academy. But the fourth game proved a catastrophe, the Scarlet and Gray defeating the fighting Colonels. Their spirit undaunted by this set-back, our lads went after the Tech Centaurs and Academy Lions puling their tails just as hard as before. However, because East had not tasted defeat this year the fair guerdon of “City Champions” was snatched away just when it seemed within reach. It is a real honor to earn a letter in Water Polo for it is one of the fastest and most gruelling sports outside of Track, and one of the roughest and toughest save for Football. One must be not only a par excellence swimmer and diver, but also a quick-thinking, quick-acting ball player with a flare for working with his team mates. So here’s to our team and every team in the years to come! May they always have the spirit of good sportsmanship and fair play and always be an exemplification of Strong Vincent ideals in sport.

Track Willi numerous stars of former years from Track and other sports, in addition to a powerful reserve force, the Track team of this year bids fair to be one of the best that Strong Vincent has even seen. On January 6, the first day after the Christmas vacation, the gymnasium was thronged with aspirants for indoor Track. Steady practice and an intra-class meet whipped the boys into shape for the interscholastic relay carnival held at Pittsburgh on March 28. At this event the relatively few Red and Black entrants placed third winning 14 points. Callista scored second in the 50-yard dash, Capt. Hutchings took third place in the 50-yard low hurdles, and Vincent teams won the Y mile relay and the mile relay. Harkins. Ciotti, McCarthy, Miller, Hutchings, and Callista participated in the winning relays. Outdoor practice began in April and again intra-class meets were held. The colors of Strong Vincent High School were carried by five outstanding track men in the annual Mansfield relays at Mansfield, Ohio, on Saturday. April 18. Besides our team engages other out-of-town schools, notably: Alliance, Mead ville, Bradford, Dunkirk, and Silver Creek. These, in addition to tangles with our old city rivals and the State and District meets will round out a full schedule. Because of the fact that the Track season somes so late in the year we are unable to print the results of each meet along with the schedule in this book. You may rest assured, however, that this fine group of boys working out daily under the direction of Mr. Cochrane will have their share of the fruits of victory. We have ample precedent on which to base this claim, both in the spirit of the boys themselves, and in the proved ability of Kenneth “Red” Cochrane to coach.

It witnessed the arrival of a Varsity sport which existed formerly only as an intra-mural activity. Volleyball, an old favorite among the students, was successful in its first year in winning a place among our championship sports. With but one week of practice the team succeeded in defeating the local opponents Academy, East, and Tech in a tournament held in our gymnasium. After thus winning coveted the right to represent Erie in the District Meet, the boys traveled to Meadville to engage there with three other teams for the District 10 Championship. They emerged from this battle without the championship, but with flying colors by obtaining the runnerup position. Following the District tournament the team invaded Slippery Bock only to lose to AJiquippa in the Western Pennsylvania contest. With their usual ability Sam Kramer and Red Cochrane coached the Volleyball Team. We take this opportunity to compliment both coaches and squad for their great success in their initial season.

For years this activity lias been a favorite means of recreation among high school students with the natural result that there were developed many capable and speedy skaters. This hitherto hidden ability came to the foreground for a brief, but much publicized time during the Lions’ Club Annual Ice Carnival. Among (he events decided upon by the sponsors was a mile relay among the local high schools. Starting out like a spark the fame of the public interest in this event spread until it had slowly but surely put the other events of a well-arranged program into the background. Our own Sam Kramer assumed charge of the Red and Black, choosing by elimination the most capable team possible. The boys because of their experience and lighting spirit easily defeated Academy, East, and Tech and won an elaborate permanent cup to adorn our trophy case. In the fast time of three minutes, twenty seconds, after but two short weeks of practice, our relay team composed of Miller, Iximmer, English and Drapeau earned the title of “Ice Skating Champions of Erie.” With the majority of this year’s team returning and with a few additions, plans are being formed for a real team to skate in a number of dual meets next year.

National Athletic Honor Society The highest honor that can come to a Strong Vincent athlete is membership in the National Athletic Honor Society. It is indeed a proud moment for the nev member when his scholastic, as well as his athletic ability, is proven before4 his fellow students at the annual induction ceremonies in the auditorium. I he purpose of this society is to raise the standard of scholarship among athletes in the participating schools. To be eligible for membership in the National Athletic Honor Society, a student must have earned a major, or two minor letters, as well as having had a scholastic average equal to, or above the average of the school for three consecutive semesters. lie must also have demonstrated the highest type of citizenship and sportsmanship. The aims of the organization have been an inspiration to most of our athletes to keep their marks up. Although the National Athletic Honor Society was founded only a comparatively few years ago, there are already over 1300 chapters of the Society in the United States. In past seasons membership has consisted mainly of representatives of the major sport, football. This year, how- ever, a truly representative group was admitted, as the following list will bear out.

Golf Under their competant mentor, Mr. Anderson, the golf team is anticipating both a strenuous and a successful season. They will play, as in former years, all of their matches as part of (he ‘‘Erie County Scholastic Golf League,” competing against not only powerful local teams but also ex- perienced aggregations of boys from nearby towns. The boys of Strong Vincent after meeting the league teams will enter the three tournaments which are at once the culmination and climax of llieir efforts for the season. These tournaments are: The District Ten Gold Tournament, Erie County Scholastic Golf Tournament w hich is to be held Saturday, May 23. 1936. Although there is bul one Jetterman, Carl Larson returning, a large squad and many experienced candidates w ill in all probability enable Vincent to be very represented as they have been in former years. Our schedule of 14 games includes the following opponents at home and abroad: Wesley ville, Lawrence Park, Academy, Tech, North East, East, and Prep. Tennis At the first sign of spring a large group of hopeful candidates assembled to compete for place on the 1 ennis team. I lie boys elected LeHoy Peterson temporary manager and in a short time regular practice was begun. Mr. Humphrey, as in former years, served as coach, performing his duties w ith customary efficiency. His labors, to all appearances are certain to bear fruit, because of the wealth of material. Three Iettermen from last year, Peterson, Fogelbach, and Porter are back again this season to bolster flu squad. An addition to an already strong team was brought about through the transfer from Academy ol Davis, who, in his short enrollment at our school, has won the singles in the fall I ennis Tournament, lo complete the squad several boys w ill be picked from the large group of hopeful aspirants. We hope that the new tennis courts in our own Athletic Field will aid the team in defeating their opponents: East, Academy, Tech, and Prep, in the Erie Scholastic Tennis League and securing the much sought title of City Champions.

Girls’ Swimming Team I lie Girls’ Swimming Team has been practicing in order to become fit since last fall. The lall practice was climaxed by the participation in the Pool Show of the Annual Carnival. This past semester, the swimmers have been concentrating on achieving a well balanced team. Here- tolorc the girls have been allowed one triangular meet during the year, contesting with East, and with Academy. I his year, however, two interscholastic meets were entered with each school, plus the triangular meet. After the spring training for meets has passed, the girls prepare for a summer of safety in the lake by passing Red Cross Life-Saving tests. Under Miss Weinheimer’s constant supervision, the Vincent girls took first place in every e en( in the meet with Academy finishing with the score of 44 to 22. Swimming against East was a heated battle. I he outcome was doubtful to the very last event, but the Vincent relay of budding free-style girls— Geraldine Beck, Ruth hosanske, Lorena Scherer, and Shirley Butler using every ounce of strength pushed to the finish line, and won with a score of 35-31. ar Girls’ Letter Club 'I he Girls’ Letter Club is one composed of the finest athletes in the school. Most of the girls ‘ holders of letters won by swimming. The other girls have played on a winning combination in the intra-mural sports, demonstrating outstanding ability. The club is an active one and to finance their aquatic program holds monthly food sales which are well supported by all. The mem- bers enjoy invigorating hikes and picnics during the entire year. This year, for the first time, the club entertained (lie alumnae at a banquet held in their honor. The evening proved so pleasant an experience for the present members as well as the old, that it was decided to make the event an annual affair. One hundred thirteen Girls Intra-Mural Sports Strong Vincent High School, ever watchful of the modern trend of education, is giving more attention to intra-mural sports this year than formerly. Shuffle Board, our latest activity, is (he well known game often enjoyed on board ship. Every Friday afternoon after school eight enthusiastic teams, composed of two girls each, hasten to the Gym to Iry their skill at this fascinating game. Each player is allowed five shots and the team attaining the highest score in two games out of three is declared the winner of the set. Three intra-mural swimming meets were held this spring among I he respective grades. The Seniors carried off the honors in the Senior highs and the Seventh Grade in the junior high school department. Many girls practice regularly every week in an effort to build up (heir strokes so that eventually they will become the mainstay of t he Varsity squad. The Girls’ Tumbling Team is composed of the smaller, nimbler girls of the school. The members have just recently organized, but already are cap- able of presenting a very accept- able exhibition. To the energetic participant of this sport, tumb- ling not only is a sport, but an art, which, when perfected, is a work of great accomplishment. With this idea in mind these in- dustrious tumblers work con- sistently every week in order to gain complete ability in this particular field of the world of sports. After the Volleyball season has closed Mush Ball will come into its own. The teams will be organized into a league, and an elimination tournament will take place. Top Shuflh Board. Middle Swimming. liollorn Gym Team. One hundred fourteen Girls’ Intra-Mural Sports The members of Basketball teams were so interested and derived so much fun from playing, that the season this year was the most successful it has ever been. The Tenth Grade Team finally emerged as the winner of the tournament. The victors played eight games losing one to the Twelfth Grade, but challenged them to one final game, in which they showed such determination that they thoroughly defeated the Seniors. The majority of the girls on the winning team were rewarded by admission to the Letter Club. A sport which is rising rapidly in importance, on the athletic horizon is Volleyball. This game played by a group of quick moving, quick thinking girls such as these, proves enter- taining not only to the partic- ipants, but also to the spectators. This year the Gym has been the scene of many exciting games in all sports, but none have been more breath-taking than the volleyball tournament games. One of the most popular modifications of tennis is the game called Ring Tennis. Interest in this sport is fast becoming as wide spread as that of its famed progenitor. It is played with a small white rubber ring over a net strung slightly lower than that which is necessary for the game of Volleyball. The game requires agility and energy, presenting a pleasing game to the girls who enjoy action. For those who still prefer the game of Tennis the girls spring schedule provides accommoda- tion. This sport has been enjoyed only recently since our new courts have been finished and perfected. At the beginning of the season, the first meetings are devoted to discussion of rules and strokes. A tournament is held and after due elimination, the winner is proclaimed. Top— Basketball Middle Top Volleyball. Middle Bottom— Ring Tennis. Hof lorn—Tennis. One hundred fifteen Boys’ Intra-Mural Sports Although many new features are to be discovered on the pages of this book, the one which is probably the greatest and at the same time the most deserving is to be found on pages 116 and 117. Recognition has finally been given to a well-merited section of the athletic department. The real success of our competent coaching staff is not on the football field with large sections of cheering spectators, but rather in the extensive intra- mural program at Vincent. Intra-mural activities this year covered the largest field ever known at Strong Vincent. Lack of space prevents us from giving a complete story of each sport, but we are making an honest endeavor to present the most important facts. A Tennis tournament last fall resulted in a double victory for Bob Davis. With Ken Hill as his partner he defeated Abbott and Pope for the doubles champion- ship, and then conquered Hill in the singles division. The tournament unearthed a large amount of hidden ability and served as an accurate test for the picking of a Tennis team in the spring. The Annual Basketball Tournament was again held with several hundred boys competing. Home Room 112 was successful in de- feating four teams in a meteor-like rise for the title. 112 conquered Home Boom 119 in the finals by the score of 38 to 32. Intra-mural Volleyball was held for the first time during the past winter. After a strenuous series of games, the field was nar- rowed down to t wo teams, Home Booms 107 and 119, 107 vanquishing their light- ing opponents by a close score. Top—Tumbling Team. Middle—Cross Country. liollom Boxing and Wrestling. One hundred sixteen Boys’ Intra-Mural Sports The Annual Boxing and Wrestling Tournaments took place February 16-28 in the Gym. Champions were crowned in the various classes after four rounds of elimination. In the finals for Boxing Lightweight Lawson defeated Johnson, Middleweight Kotynk defeated Krein, Light heavyweight Boneconti defeated Angelotti and Heavyweight King defeated Brown. For Wrestling in the 80 Pound Class Corberry t hrew Green, in the 115 Stephens threw Kettering, in the 125 McCreary threw Reilly, in the 145 Laird threw Carberry and in the 165 pound class King threw Langsdorf. On November 9, 1935, the annual cross-country run was staged in conjunc- tion with the Academy- Vincent football game. The course was set over a dis- tance of 3.1 miles. Nine boys competed. Harvey Kuhn, a sophomore, won in seventeen minutes, twenty- one seconds. James Callista took second place and Vin- cent Ciolti, third. Our boys from incent in outside competition this winter showed their prowess on the mats, parallel bars, rings, and with the Indian clubs. Qualifying first in the city meet and later in the district meet, our team competed at Slippery Rock for the western Pennsyl- vania championships with t he following results: George Hearn placed first in both the tumbling event and on the parallel bars; both Henry brothers also placed in the mats, while Luries obtained a second in the Indian club event and Saint placed on the rings. The wide variety of sports and the competent advisers have made possible athletic activity for every boy. One hundred seventeen Top—Volleyball. Middle Tennis Tournament. liollorn Basketball. Features Features include the miscellaneous portions of our daily school life. There are certain groups to whom we owe a great, deal of praise for serving Strong Vincent, guarding the welfare of the students, and continually striving for im- provement. In this section we express our gratitude for their valuable assistance. Some of the many humorous incidents which occur in school have been recorded to show the lighter, brighter side of our life. Glimpses of interesting personalities, hints as to the character of our daily existence are all revealed in the division of miscellany known as “Features.” - K - ■■ Sealed— Mr. Pratt, Mrs. Storn, Mrs. Rubner, Mrs. Talbot, Mr. Coon.

Parent Teacher Association If one were to judge tin Parent Teacher Association, organized in May 1934, by what it has accomp- lished in two short years, tins organization has fully justified its existence in the daily life of Strong Vincent High School. The object of the P.T.A. is to promote child welfare in the home, the school, the church, and the community, as well as to bring the school and the home into close cooperation. With this object ever in mind, and with an earnest desire to promote the general welfare of the community, the enthusiastic president, ably assisted by the officers and committees, has accomplished a very great deal. The associa- tion through the welfare department, the study groups for parent education, the committees sponsoring better films, radio broadcasting, student loans, worthwhile legislation, the drama, music, hospitality, publications and hygiene has a wide scope. The meetings, in addition to the regular business routine, take the form of programs of music and talks by some of the best local and important talent, and in this way contribute instruction, entertainment, and culture to the community. The membership for the current year has reached five hundred. It is believed that if all the patrons of Vincent understood and appreciated the great possibilities the P.T.A. possesses, not only for helping to improve the schools alone, but also for contributing to the general welfare of the entire city, membership would be greatly increased. The annual dues are only twenty-five cents, a minimum cost to meet current expenses. The students are very proud of the P.T.A., and grateful to the members for the assistance they have given to Strong Vincent, particularly in welfare work. May the P.T.A. continue to grow and carry on the work which it has so successfully begun. One hundred twenty-one Sealed- Mrs. Kern. Mrs. Smith, Mrs. Butler, Mrs. Daley.

Phis corps presents seven times each day carefully prepared and deliciously cooked menus to an eager, hungry crowd. I he pleasant, il noisy, atmosphere of the dining room is created by the obliging manner of the workers and the student helpers. Each member of the staff has a particular responsibility in preparing the food under the supervision of Mrs. Blythe, the manager. The cafeteria, although self-supporting, is not supposed to be profit-making, but to furnish the school children food at a low cost. The prices are rather reasonable, and the food is high grade. The students who assist work only during lunch periods, while the regular workers are on duty from eight A. M., until three P. M. The stall has always taken an interest in school functions, and to its members the students are grateful. One hundred lwen y-lwo Hark Row C. W. Thaler, Michael Miller, Dan Benner, Thomas McClelland.

Janitorial Staff A group of men and women indispensable to the comfort of Strong Vincent is the janitorial with Mr. I haler, custodian. Although the purpose of the staff is to keep the building in good condi- tion. the duties of the members are varied. Six women, under the smiling Mrs. Miller, are responsible for the extreme cleanliness of classrooms, laboratories, pool, girls’ gymnasium, locker rooms, offices, auditorium and corridors. the men are equally careful of athletic rooms, entrances, control room, projection room, and the entire mechanical department. Both men and women clean the cafeteria. They are responsible for the spotless appearance of Strong Vincent. The stair has cheerfully co- operated with every school project and the students enjoy the geniality of its members. One hundred twenty-three Medical Staff The Medical Stair, a very necessary adjunct to our school, is comprised of two members, Miss Secord and Dr. Scibetta. In order that we may better appreciate the importance of this organization, let us consider its worth in the life of the student, the school, and the community as a whole. An invaluable assistance is rendered to the parents through the yearly physical examination given to each pupil. Physical defects are discovered, thereby preventing many diseases by proper treatment in their early stages. Ailing pupils are asked to consult their family physicians; those unable to meet the expenses of a physician are given individual care at a clinic for their particular case. Under the competent supervision of Miss Secord, first aid is rendered in all emergencies. She also assists Dr. Scibetta in the physical examination. We cannot be mentally well trained unless we have the physical health also. Good health promotes clear thinking. One hundred twenty-four Alumni News Recently Mr. Coon received a letter from Penn State saying that Strong Vincent High School ranks in the upper quarter of 683 high schools for the excellency of its students.

One hundred twenty-nine Humor THE HERO The North and the South were engaged in a war To see if the nation to one staple core Could adhere, one glorious state. Or be separated by blood and by hate. April the 12th, eighteen-sixty-one. Just as the east ushered in the sun Confederate guns on Fort Sumter turned, And the guardian of Richmond was shattered and burned. Bull Run brought on a Union defeat, Antietam ended in Union retreat. At Chickarnauga Blue faded to («ray. But Gettysburg wiped all this shame away. Three days this terrible battle waged, A drama Belasco could never have staged. The bloodiest part of the battle was fought Where Vincent’s men reduced Hood’s to naught. The Little Round Top the place is named Where General Vincent the Confederates maimed. Now near the spot where the victor stood A monument stands, it would speak if it could. It would boast of that glorious hero of his, It would not say WAS, it would say Vincent IS. And now Blue and Gray to the beautiful hue Of the Union flag red, white and blue Have faded away and to these colors run. And now our nation stands as ONE. —William Blair, Jr. WHAT WOULD HAPPEN IF Betty Britton lost her weight? Dick Rubner, his line? Myrtle Prussin, her dramatic ability? Kitty Knapp, her beauty?

I have always cared for music in general, but during ray three years in the choir, I have learned to appreciate more classical music than I was ever accustomed to listen to before. Just as the study of English literature helps one to differentiate between good books and inferior books, so mem- bership in the choir enable one to distinguish worthwhile music from unimportant music. I think that all high school students would profit by belonging to the choir, for they would gain an appreciation of music, which is a great help in life. —Georyette Bayer.

I think that the Chemistry periods were the most interesting and profitable time that I spent at high school. — Harold Webb.

Miss Joanna Connell’s regular English and College English classes, and also membership in the National Honor Society, are the high lights of my high school life, the former even more important. —Ferr is 11wnphreys.

Thriving enter- prises point to the character and quality of our progressive merchants. Business may be the future for many of our students.
