W. EDWIN COON Principal To the Boys and Girls of To-day — the Men and Women of To-m.orrow When first you enter this beautiful stately Strong Vincent High School, you are greeted by the Principal and his Assistants; when you leave they are on hand to wish you success. What happens in the meantime is cooperative action between the faculty and you. With them you look between the covers of books, take out the facts and fancies of past and present and make them a part of you. With them you enter more or less into the activities of the school to enrich your own living by doing things with your fellows. Thus books and activities go hand in hand to help you lay a firm foundation for a happy, successful life. May you always be able to say, I have done my best. W. E. COON Mr. Coon A.B. Allegheny M.Ed.

These citizens should have a knov ledge of government, local, state, and national, and know the difference between good govern- ment and bad. The fact that United States History for one year is a reguirement for graduation indicates its importance. With a background of Civics and World History, students obtain general knowledge of our government from United States History. Then with greater knowledge and a wider background, they may proceed to Problems of Democracy and to Economics, which present the problems we are facing today, and give us an insight into the problems of the financial world. The study of history instills in us pride of our heritage, and from it we glean facts and ideas which show us how to improve our own govern- ment.

H B F H fe m gim ML English is the only subject which is reguired each year throughout the high school course. Upon thorough investiga- tion the reason becomes obvious. We are naturally impressed by the person who can express himself effectively and who does not hesitate in his pronunciation or spell- ing. This is a part of the wide and varied field which the English curriculum covers, including the mechanics of language, both written and spoken. Upon graduation, a High School stu- dent may be expected to be able to write and speak with due regard for rules of grammar, punctuation, and spelling. He should have a knowledge of our heritage of literature and some understanding of it, since this knowledge leads to greater assurance, and lays the necessary foun- dation for appreciation.

Those who have selected an academic course and plan to go to college must take at least two years of a foreign language and maybe more, depending upon the college reguirements. Here in school we have ample opportunity in the field of languages. Our capable and dependable foreign language department offers Ger- man, Italian, French, and Latin. Since much of the value and brilliance of an author ' s style is lost in translation, our language course is broad and com- prehensive enough to enable us to enjoy reading works in the original. And if anyone is fortunate en ough to travel in a country whose language he has studied previously in high school, he will find the trip more agreeable and educational. Twelve Sylvia Galinsky B.M.

Graduates who have suc- cessfully completed this course are able to go directly into business. This field in- ' eludes preparation for a variety of occupa- tions. For those desiring preparation in secretarial or office work. Typewriting, Stenography, Commercial Arithmetic, and Bookkeeping are taught. Typing is a two- year course, the first year being devoted to learning the keyboard and acguiring speed, the second to transcribing notes. Two years of Bookkeeping and one of Com- mercial Arithmetic furnish some knowledge of accounting. Half year courses are taught in Business English and Commercial Law. Graduates in commercial work should have acguired the accuracy and training which enable them to work suc- cessfully with other people, as well as to manage their own affairs more efficiently and wisely.

The study of Mathematics throughout the junior and senior high schools follows the customary order of progression; and a complete math course from Elementary Algebra through Trigonometry is offered. This year the Algebra course has been changed somewhat in that Algebra 3, which formerly reguired one semester, will now be divided into two semesters in order that more time may be spent on subjects which need extensive treating. The former Algebra 4 will now be called Advanced Algebra. The mathematics department offers Advanced Algebra and Solid Geom- etry, which so often are necessary for college entrance, as well as Trigonometry, which is also taught whenever there is a demand for the subject. This is a distinct advantage for boys who expect to enter schools of engineering. Mathematics Fourteen Lilian Peters A.B. Penn State History Adviser — One-Act Play Club Anna Quirk A.B.

In the junior high General Science classes, the student is given brief but comprehensive infor- mation on all branches of science. If he is interested in plants and animals, he may take Biology in senior high. If he is interested in earth formations, atmospheric conditions, oceans, rivers, and the starry universe he may take Physical Geography. Physics answers the how, why, and what guestions of everything by actual experiment. Chemistry not only shows us the construction of the atom, but also how to buy better food, build stronger houses, and choose safer cosmetics. Vincent is the first high school in Erie to offer a course in Senior Science, which is designed for those not going to college, and stresses application of scientific principles to every-day life.

In junior high all students are instructed in both art and music. If they wish to continue in either held there are more advanced courses in senior high. Through his association with these ac- tivities, the student derives personal en- joyment, acguires greater appreciation of beauty, and draws a step higher in cultural attainment. In the diversified art course, the student acquires an appreciation of beauty, and learns to apply his creative knowledge by various assigned projects such as still life studies in charcoal and water color, and figure sketches in pencil. Posters are also furnished for all school activities by the Art Department. If the student is interested in music, he may join various organizations, accord- ing to whether his inclination is instru- mental or vocal. The Band and Orchestra are popular goals, both rendering out- standing service to the school. The Girls ' Chorus, the Boys ' Glee Club, and the ultimate achievment of the ACappella, are the channels for the vocally inclined. Sixteen Arthur R. Weibel B.S.

Columbia University Latin Adviser — Language Club; Candy Sellers Practical arts students learn not by books, but by doing. Cooking and Sewing are for girls, while Shop and Drafting are for boys. However more than one brave male has ventured into the cooking class in spite of the fact that students are ex- pected to eat their own cooking; and even more girls have invaded the traditional domain of the boys. In the well-eguipped cooking room, students acguire first hand experience in preparing nutritious meals as well as being initiated into the mystery of marketing and food budgets. Advanced sewing students make many of their own clothes, following a clothing budget which they themselves have worked out. Selection and repair of clothes are also a part of this course. Each boy in the buzzing wood-working shop is busily working on his own project, creating useful articles and learning to use his tools correctly. In drafting, students learn to make and read drawings and to handle their instruments as efficient crafts- men; producing mechanical, sheet-metal, or architectural drawings and tracings.

In this popular subject the routine promotes muscular con- trol, coordination, correction, strength, grace, and mental alertness. Exercises and calisthenics are follov ed by any popular game — an invigorating shower, and school clothes again. As a result of these contacts, students often join exciting after-school activities. As well as making worthwhile use of their leisure time, students often become quite proficient in a certain sport and are accepted in mem- bership to various athletic teams. Swimming instructors attempt to make each student a swimmer by instructing beginners and advanced pupils in various strokes, exercises, and diving. Later in the semester apprehensive students strive to do their best while taking the American Red Cross tests. Pins are distributed to these aspirants according to whether the student has earned the rank of Beginner or Swimmer. For the more advanced pupils, after-school instruction is given in Life Saving, and Red Cross tests are also given to this group. Many boys who become expert in this field spend their summers doing Life Guard duty on the Peninsula. Two years of Physical Education are compulsory for both boys and girls. Each group works in its own gym, following the program best adapted to its needs, but in both groups all activities, whether formal exercise or in- formal games, are planned to encourage and develop healthy, and sturdy bodies. i. Eighteen Beyond the classroom, the boy and girl become absorbed in delightful hours of club and crroup activities. With th ir fri nds they present plays, enjoy droll initiations or attend teas, work on publications or argue upon the unicameral svstem of crovernmp nt.

A government of the students, by the stu- dents, for the students is the goal of the Strong Vincent student council. Every community must have a government and its laxity or efficiency de- pends on the members of the governing body. Ever since its birth, Strong Vincent has had a student council. Some years it has done very worthwhile work, other years it has not. This year the Council members have taken up a challenge and have de- cided to make this Vincent community a truer democracy. To this end they have begun to ex- ercise more fully their constitutional powers. One An annual duty of the Council is to sponsor and pro- mote the Carnival with the aid of faculty and students. The annual musical comedy is under the auspices of the Council and an outside director. Many dances and other money-making projects are under the Council ' s direction and the proceeds are devoted to various worth-while causes. Supervision of activities sponsored by the Council is taken care of by specially appointed committees. New ideas are constantly being suggested at the regular Monday- after-school meetings. All of these ideas are considered, discussed, and acted upon. With the aid of the faculty advisers, the Strong Vincent student council is marching on to greater achieve- ments. Twenty Torch Bearers President . . Robert Nichols Vice-President . Robert Lohse Secretary Esther Shannon Senate . Misses Mercer, Bryce, Warfel Mr. Coon, Mr. Anderson, Mr. Armogost Mr. President, may I present for membership in the National Honor Society ? If this state- ment applies to you, everyone knows that you have received the highest honor Strong Vincent may bestow. It means that you have excelled in the four points which are the foundation of the Na- tional Honor Society. These points are Character, Scholarship, Leadership, and Service. Having a fine character includes conscientious attendance and behavior in school and is measured by your teachers ' impression of you. Your scholastic aver- age must be very high, depending on competition, but over 90 if you are an 11-2. It is obvious that those who are leaders deserve honors and almost anyone with ideas and the initiative to carry them out can be a leader. Service to Strong Vincent includes active membership in clubs and various committees and any constructive deed for the school. After the new members have been formally inducted in an assembly program, the whole society at Vincent enjoys an informal party. The organization meets several times a year for special purposes but has no definite schedule. This is not a very active organization for the very good reason that the members are selected for their activity in other clubs. However, last year a handbook, giv- ing information about the school, was edited and distributed by the Honor Society. This year marks the tenth anniversary of the Strong Vincent chapter, number 81, which started in old Central High School. In all the ten years, only 347 students have been admitted. This shows how high the standard has been kept. Ten years is not so long in view of the fact that the first honor society was originated in 1776. At that time Phi Beta Kappa, an honor society for colleges, was begun, and later this inspired the organization of the first honor society in secondary schools, founded by Dr. William B. Owen of the Chicago Normal College when he was principal of the South Side Academy in Chicago. This idea spread all over the country and soon the National Honor Society was formed with the idea that na- tional recognition has more value than honors granted by individual schools. The goal of the National Honor Society is to create an enthusiasm for scholarship, to stimulate a desire to render service, to promote worthy leadership, and to en- courage the development of character in the pupils of the school.

Twenty-one Sweets from the Sweet Is there any Vincentite who has never been tempted by the Mounds, Clark Bars, or Pepper- mint Patties of the Candysellers? From three to three fifteen every day, ten sophomore girls under the able direction of Miss Willard Wright roam the halls of Vincent, holding assorted sweets under the noses of hungry students. Although the girls who serve Vincent in this capacity receive no recogni- tion or praise, they perform their work faithfully week after week. As is proven by the money turned in daily, their salesmanship is so convincing that the way of least resistance is simply to dig for those last five pennies. Girls disregard their complexions and forget those extra pounds — boys forget about that week-end date — teachers, too, have their favorite candies. The money taken in from these sales is turned over to Student Council where it is put into the general treasury — last year this fund constituted over one-hundred and forty dollars. Our Choir could not have such effective robes, our band and orchestra could not have such fine instruments or such colorful uniforms, and our stage could not be so well set without the help of this organization. By purchasing candy from our Candysellers, we are helping to make the activities of our school a success. Down the Aisle This way, please, to your seat in the Strong Vincent auditorium. Just follow the lad in the neat white jacket. Who is he? gushes the sweet young thing. My, he ' s handscme! Is he the lead- ing man in the play? Sorry to disappoint you, dear, but he ' s one of the Strong Vincent ushers. These boys volunteer their services for the semester long position of ushering at all assemblies, stage productions, and all auditorium activities sponsored by Strong Vincent. It is the duty of the ushers to find seats, clear all the aisles, maintain order, and keep out all uninvited persons and canine visitors. As occasion demands, the ushers have the added duty of acting as checking booth attendants and as a lost and found department. In cases of em- ergency it is the ushers who take charge and keep order. They have contributed a great deal toward keeping the auditorium in the fine condition so commended by visitors. Under the supervision of Mr. Shanor, their faculty adviser, the Strong Vincent ushers have become one of the most efficient bodies of this type in the city of Erie. Aside from the pleasure he gets out of serving his school, each usher feels that he is receiving many privileges and valuable training at all times. The qualities that make one a success at ushering are those which make one a success throughout life. Behind that Curtain Lights, Curtain, Action! The performance is on. With tremendous applause ringing in their ears, the actors depart from the stage. Excitedly discussing the performance, we leave. But what about the stage? Who were the unknowns who set up such beautiful scenery, and operated the powerful floodlights? Who is to clear the stage? None other than the Stage Crew, the unsung heroes of Strong Vincent. At all school assemblies these boys are busily engaged, preparing the mammoth stage so that we can enjoy the interesting pro- grams, operating the curtain, and remaining be- hind to clear away the wreckage. The boys who compose the Stage Crew of Strong Vincent are a group of hard-working, in- dustrious lads, who do this work, not only for the sheer love of working behind stage and helping the school, but also for the practical side of stage- crewing, which helps them in later life. Mr. Shanor, the member of our faculty who directs the Stage Crew, is also one who is never finished. If he is not helping to put up the scenery, he must be on hand to connect the many fixtures to obtain the correct lighting. Even during class hours, if an emergency arises, he must leave all class duties behind and remedy the disturbance. We are grateful to Mr. Shanor and his able Stage Crew.

They Also Serve Hall Monitors A stranger coming into Vincent might wonder why so many students are seated in the halls, but after he has been assisted in finding his way by one of these students, called monitors, he will be aware of their usefulness. Perhaps, however, he will not realize that they represent an important phase of student self-government. Part of their duties are to keep the other students out of the halls, unless they have legitimate business there, at which time they must carry a pass, which they obtain from the teachers. Their other duties are to police the halls, guard the lockers, take care of the hall lights during the change of classes, and to keep order in the cafeteria. This year the Student Council claimed the right of the Second Vice-President to have charge of these monitors; although the clause referring to the monitors was always in the school constitution as a phase of student government it was never before enforced. Responsible to this officer is a head monitor whose duty it is to see that all the others are at their posts, and, if there are any absences, to see that someone is in the place of the absentee. Only those students whose grades are passing and who are judged trustworthy are eligible. Cards denoting the responsibility of their positions are signed by Mr. Coon and Miss Burger, the faculty adviser, and given to each of the monitors. Twenty-four Library Monitors Can you picture the library without Miss Wilson? Can you picture Miss Wilson without the library monitors? The answers to both these questions would probably be no. Just as the auditorium needs its stage crew, so does the library need its monitors. There are no special qualifications for this position except a willing- ness to serve and adequate grades. These girls have come to be indispensible to the library. Their principal duties are to collect and check admits, help students find books and articles, stamp the books which are returned and taken out, mend books, track down delinquent bor- rowers, and help prepare the new books for circulation. Office Monitors Miss Connell, Mr. Anderson, and the mem- bers of the office staff have much work to do but only the usual one pair of hands and feet. To serve as extra hands and feet there is a group of energetic girls who help in checking and filing programs, typing, and running errands. To anyone who has not worked in the office it would seem that there is not so much work as to warrant extra help; however there are always several monitors needed, and at any time of the day they may be seen in almost any part of the building, delivering notices or getting in- formation for the office. Gym Monitors The scene is the Girls ' Gymnasium. The time is any period of the day. Miss Weinheimer has just been called out of the gymnasium. Con- trary to what you might expect, the class goes on just as if she were there, under the able management of the gym monitors. If it is a gym class, they lead, referee, and keep score in the games; if a pool class, they take care of the showers and give out the assignments for the period. If there are any girls who are taking a special gym period it is the duty of the monitors to report their names to the study hall.

(And on the side, big juicy steaks!) Yes, the action of the February Senior Class Play took place in a sanatorium, but this was an unusual one. In Dr. Pilski ' s health resort, the staff served the guests nothing but concentrated food pellets, and the poor patients would have probably starved if it hadn ' t been for Hotfoot, the colored porter. He operated a restaurant on the side to appease their hunger and to add to his own exchequer. Soup to Nuts was the title of this farce and the production was so successful that it had the audience fairly rolling in the aisles. The action of the play was off to a hilarious start when sweethearts and enemies met under the roof of this unique sanatorium. Sweethearts be- came jealous of one another and enemy dislike became more violent. Affairs went from bad to worse when the emotional pellets of anger were served by mistake. Pandemonium reigned! Then the nurse served the love pellets and the resort became a nest of love and lies. Then came the truth pellets. The facts revealed by these little dispensaries were more than startling. It all ended happily with sweethearts reunited, all lapses for- given, and self-respect regained. Under the direction of Miss Mary Loughran, the characters rose to lofty heights with their grand acting. Lawrence Fritts, as Hotfoot, proved himself a real comedian with his Suitcase Simp- son feet and his portable menu. It certainly was a surprise to hear James Speed, our outstanding bass soloist, let shrill yells in his role as the eccentric Dr. Pilski. Nellierae Carstater ' s per- formance as Miss Rice indicated that she would make a delightful nurse. If anyone wished to distinguish the best played character, it would be practically impossible, because each starred in his own role. So good was the acting of the entire cast, that we lost all consciousness of the fact that they were only fellow students whom we met every- day in the halls. Everyone did his part in carrying the play to the smashing success that it was. The spectators left the school feeling that they had witnessed one of the funniest and best performances ever produced by a Senior Class of Strong Vincent High School.

Sally McClain Marjorie Braine Gertrude Kari Robert Geiger Martha Campbell About the June Class Play, of course! for there was much to be talked about! Vivacious Ethel Simmons returned from Chicago with a self-styled blue-blood, Roger Shields, in tow, who charmed both Ethel and her mother with his continental mannerisms. No doubt a wedding would have followed, had not Mr. Simmons planned a more practical future for his daughter. He had selected his timid business partner, Chester Binney, to marry Ethel. Binney had never sown a wild oat in his life, and Ethel would have none of him, pre- ferring men who knew women and the world. Cautious Simmons racked his middle-aged brain with the result that Chester purchased a picture of Letty Lythe, glamorous film star, and dropped it accidentally near Ethel. Daughter and mama flashed it delightedly before envying neighbors, while Lila and Sally, Ethel ' s friends, put the town of Sandusky in a furor, linking Chester ' s name with that of Letty Lythe. Ethel ' s attitude toward Chester changed com- pletely, when she pictured his colorful past. They were soon happily engaged, and things were pro- ceeding nicely, until Letty Lythe arrived in town on a personal appearance tour, her jealous producer, Donald Swift, at her heels. A merry battle of wits ensued. Letty called Chester ' s bluff in an attempt to teach Swift a lesson, and to the bewilderment of all concerned, flung herself into Chester ' s trembling arms. Swift, enraged, in- sisted upon fighting it out, so Chester, quite the squelched creature, called for a battle in the dark. Shields lingered by to gloat, but when the lights came on, there was Chester, big as life, swinging blythely on a chandelier. Swift and Shields had all but killed each other, and Chester received all honors. Mrs. Charles Le Sueur, a director of high standing in Erie, did admirable work in directing the young people, who seemed made for the part. Each did his part in merry style. Paula Dunlap and Mark Wagner were typical modern parents; Harvey Kuhn, a very dapper Chicagoan, and Beatrice Betti was at her cleverest as the spoiled daughter. Claire Eichenlaub lisped in a winning manner, and Sally McClain was attractive in her part. Bill Culbertson changed from the timid to the more dashing soul, and Dick Arbuckle clenched his fists in realistic jealousy. After the performance, the school, as well as the whole town was talking. Twenty-seven Top: Mexicancs. Center: Rockettes. Bottom : Dress Parade. Fire Away Another trailer wound its way through Erie streets, and when it drew up in front of Vincent, we knew things would happen fast. Mr. and Mrs. Lee Winter had arrived bag and baggage with their annual clever show. There was much bustling and unpacking, and first we saw loud colors and peculiar shapes. These gradually turned into a mammoth battleship, the U.S.S. Alaska; a Dude ranch near San Diego, plus a variety of clever costumes for this year ' s musical comedy produc- tion, Fire Away. Thinking back to previous successes, we wondered just how they could be surpassed. Then one rainy morning, they showed us coming at- tractions and all Vincent was dazzled! The mercury in the homeroom sales-thermometers rose steadily, foretelling a capacity audience for two performances, on March 3rd and 4th. Richard Guthrie had the leading role as Captain Moore of the Navy. There is something about a uniform and the way Dick wears one. Eileen Lambrecht of the laughing eyes, was a very sweet Molly and her sisters, Ruthe Johnson as the effervescent Florabel, and Sally Thayer as silent Daisy, put a lilt into the comedy that made Twenty-eight Top : Cowgirls, Indians, Principals. Bottom : Gobs the roof quiver. To match them we had a comedy team in the persons of Andy Lindstrom and Frank Morris, that left us weak with laughter. The crew of the battleship were typical sailors — and you know sailors! Darrow Schabacker was a most efficient petty-officer, and Ruth Pearce and Bob Ormsbee were excellent Westerners. No drama is complete without a villain, so Fausto Addessi frightened all his friends as a very dashing bandit. The shining battleship appealed to Molly, who there posed as one of the crew, and the Dude Ranch appealed to Captain Moore when Molly traveled West. Stunning chorines graced both locations, the peppy Gobs and trim Dress Parade Girls aboard ship, and dark-eyed Mex- icanos and Cowgirls who swung castanets and lariats beneath the Western skies — all lending to the sparkling success of Fire Away.

Robert Nichols Ronald Humes Robert Lohse Elsie Lund Robert Lohse and Charles Fernandes John Ramsay Brown Mr. Dean Have you ever stopped to wonder what this world would be without music? And how it would effect our own school life? Without any hesitation you would answer that it would be a very dreary place to live in. Since appreciation of music characterizes any cultured person, we are very fortunate in having the opportunity of being closely related to good music through our school orchestra. Although all of us are not talented musically, this organization with its programs of enchanting waltzes and lively marches has thrilled and aroused the emotions of the students at many assemblies. Due to the practice sessions held daily during the second period throughout the year under the capable direction of Mr. Brown, our orchestra has developed into one of the finest in the city. Boys and girls find in the orchestra a pleasant way of developing their talent and of learning to love music. During the recent school year the orchestra has taken part in a variety of programs. It has presented selections at many special occasions, in- cluding the Commencement exercises, the senior class plays, a meeting of the Parent Teacher As- sociation, and the Clare Tree Major Productions. In commemoration of Armistice Day this group offered several musical numbers at Gridley Junior High School; the orchestra also honored the school which it represents by many other performances. In presenting these other performances the or- chestra was ably assisted by the faculty manager, Mr. Dean. The social program of the orchestra was limited this year to a dance in the Girls ' Gym, sponsored by both the orchestra and the band, and to the annual picnic held at the peninsula. Although the pleasures derived from or- chestral work seem sufficient reward to a student, minor school letters are awarded by the Student Council to those members of the orchestra who are considered by Mr. Brown the most worthy after at least three years of faithful service.

Bill Wagner and Bill Ross Director Mr. John Ramsay Brown Faculty Manager . Mr. Dean Open up, clear the track! Gaily flies the Red and Black! As the Colonels go marching along! With such inspiring tunes, our band marches into the stadium and instills pep and en- thusiasm into the hearts of the players as well as the spectators. It is this kind of music that pro- vides the pep and enthusiasm so necessary and vital to encourage the teams on to victory on the gridiron, track, in the gym, or in the pool. How often from the grandstand in the stadium, we have admired the perfect form and striking appearance of this group! During the past year the band played at all the football games — at home and out of town. The members were highly commended for their fine performance at Jamestown, New York, during the Strong Vincent-Jamestown football game — added proof that our band is greatly appreciated. This splendid organization lends an opportun- ity to boys, possessing talent and ability, to learn how to play any instrument guite proficiently. They also become fully acquainted with many great and famous musical arrangements. Under the able leadership of Mr. Brown, the Band has developed into one of the finest in the city and has presented many musical selections noted for their difficult arrangements. It partici- pated in the recent concert with the Orchestra and proved, beyond a doubt, its real musical ability. Aside from its musical program, the Band, with the Orchestra, sponsored a gay dance in the Girls ' Gym and a picnic on the peninsula as a grand finale to the school term. Any boy who can play an instrument may join the band class which meets daily during the first period. Five members are rewarded annually for their work by the Student Council with minor school letters. These letters are given to those, who, in three years, have given greatest evidence of improvement.

Ellen Blount Roberta Maxwell Robert Ormsbee Burton Neiner Mr. Grender Mr. Gustavson . Miss Connell, Miss Wilson When a stone mason wants to split a rock, he rolls up his sleeves and strikes it once. No result. He strikes it again. Still no result. He hits it again, and again, and again — perhaps ten or twelve times, and the only apparent result is a surface mar. Then he strikes it again, and the rock splits. It is persistence that puts anything over. And so it is with our own A Cappella Choir. Thus, by persistent practicing, by persistent en- thusiasm, and by persistent support, the students in this organization have gained most noteworthy honors. Due to its fine performance last year at Radio City, under the capable direction of Mr. Grender, our choir was asked to return to present another program over station WJZ. What a thrill to hear our own school choir sing over a nation-wide hook up! During their stay in New York, the choir members also sang at Dr. Holmes Community Church in Town Hall and appeared on Erno Rappee ' s Music Hall Program of the Air. Perhaps the greatest honor that the A Cappella received was the invitation to appear with the Erie Phil- harmonic Orchestra this spring. Combined with the Academy Choir, an outstanding performance was presented. At this Spring concert, the pro- gram was augmented by the performance of Eugene Bossart, a pianist and a former student of Strong Vincent, who is now studying at the Curtis School of Music in Philadelphia. Mr. Bossart was proud to appear with our Choir which gave fine evidence, at the Christmas Choral and the Spring Concerts, of its musical ability. The A Cappella Choir is one of the many fine organizations which have contributed so much toward placing Strong Vincent in the national limelight. The fact that our choir was requested to return for another appearance in R adio City, New York is proof that they are conspicuous not only for their musical ability but for their conduct as ladies and gentlemen. Thus, each year the choir does its part toward keeping Vincent one of the first among the schools of the nation. Thirty-two There ' s a Song in the Air President Secretary Treasurer Librarians Directress Ruth Dana Elaine Cleveland Kathleen Dalrymple Jean Little, Gloria Garner Miss Galinsky An organization that all Strong Vincent may be proud of is the chorus that has been developed among the girls of the school. The young ladies in this important and interesting group are very enthusiastic about its welfare and eager to make it known throughout the city. This organization aims to give those girls who enjoy group singing an opportunity to develop their voices. Among its activities for the year, the Chorus participated in the Christmas Choral Concert, the Spring Concert, a P.T.A. Meeting, and a fine Christmas program at Junior Assembly. President Secretary Treasurer Director Andy Lindstrom Eugene Rocco Robert Lawson Mr. Grender Oh, ' dem golden slippers, Oh — the music comes to an abrupt halt as Mr. Grender motions the boys to stop while he explains how this selec- tion should be sung. Thus, by diligent practising our Glee Club has risen to a better organization than ever before. The boys receive splendid training for future work in the A Cappella Choir, and also enjoy good group singing in typical male chorus songs. Vincent can be proud of these boys who were enthusiastically received at several schools in the city and also contributed to the suc- cess of the Christmas Choral Concert and the Spring Concert.

Wright, Evans, Galbo, Bourquin, Kohout, Mercer, and Mrs. Brockway The Language Club, otherwise known as The Little League of Nations, is now in its second year of successful organization. The purpose of the club is to bring students, who are eager to learn more about foreign languages, into closer contact with one another and show the relationship and importance of the language. Teachers represent- ing the various departments of the languages, work diligently to supervise enjoyable and interesting programs. They are assisted by the council con- sisting of a member of each of the language classes. The members of each of the languages — Latin, German, French, and Italian — sponsor a program. The Latin group was in charge of the first meeting. With the enthusiastic aid of the students, songs were sung in Latin and a clever play entitled Thanksgiving For Latin was presented. At the next meeting, which was at Christmas time, the members were entertained by the pupils who endeavor to know more about the German lan- guage. A monologue of The House that Jack Built was given in the German language. The third meeting of this group was supervised by the French department. Chez le Medecin a French dialogue was given. A picturesgue account on The Impressions of my trip through Europe was related by Joan Straus. Several French students sang the lovely L ' Alonette. At the concluding meeting which was conducted by the Italian group a description of the masterpieces of Michilangelo, De Vinci, and Raphael was given. Thirty-four In Dante ' s Track President . Vice-President Secretary . Treasurer Pauline Silvestri Mary Letizia Sam Pizzo Robert Orlando It was in September, 1933 that the teaching of ItaUan began in the City of Erie. Elementary Italian is taught at Roosevelt Junior High School and the advanced course is continued for two years at Strong Vincent High School. This study has a real cultural background for these pupils who try to understand and appreciate their Italian heritage. Miss Rose Galbo divides her time evenly between teaching at the two schools, coming to Vincent the last three periods in the day to teach these Italian students the fundamentals and the values of their language. For a year she was an exchange stu- dent, studying in Italy. Every Thursday the Italian group meets to learn more about the Italian language through the reading of books, the interesting plays presented by the various pupils, and the discussing of pictures and books. Each member has an eager desire to make his club a benefit in every way to himself. An excellent exhibition of the accomplishments of this organization was the colorful display of the Italian fiesta in the annual Carnival. The Italian Teachers ' Association of New York City offers each year to twelve students throughout the United States a six weeks trip through Italy. Originally to be able to compete in this under- taking a special Italian test was given but today the students are selected if they have a high scholastic standing, if they are a credit to their Alma Mater, and have studied Italian for four consecutive years. Strong Vincent had the honor of having Joseph Gatti, 1936 President of the Club, chosen as one of the twelve students to make this trip to Europe in 1937. The class period in reality is an activity period. Each Thursday a group of students take turns dis- cussing Italian art and music. One student tells the story of an important, well-known opera while another relates the life of the composer and finally the music of the opera is heard. The entire club pledged to listen to the radio on Saturday after- noons after hearing the opera Aida during a club meeting. The club ' s activities stress the study of the music and the paintings of famous Italians, and also includes all the other fine arts. Another name for this club is the Dante Club. Any student enrolled in a class of the Italian Department is eligible for membership. The purpose of starting an Italian Club in Strong Vincent High School was to create, and develop an appreciation for the social, practical, cultural, and the vocational values of the language, as well as to arouse in the minds of these Italian students a greater interest in their heritage. To make the Italian Club a benefit to those attracted to the language is the one ambition of each member cf this club.

Adviser John Fust and Wilbur Wallace Gloria Santomenna Miss Mercer Three o ' clock and the third Tuesday of each month finds the students who take Latin seven and eight banding together for a meeting of the Virgil Club. To gain admittance to this club the study of advanced Latin is reguired — that is through the work of Virgil ' s Aeneid. The club, which shows the interesting and amusing side of Roman life and character, was started in 1926. The purpose of this organization is To create and foster an interest in Roman mythology, home life, and customs in an informal way beyond that acquired through the regular classroom channels. The club is patterned after the Old Roman City organization. The two consuls preside in alternate months over the meetings; the Scriba performs the duties of the Secretary; and the enter- tainment is arranged by four aedils who are chosen every month by the consuls and who form a pro- gram committee. The club activities include the reading of interesting stories, the description of ancient Rome, book reviews, games, study of Roman customs and ideals and interesting lectures which aim to familiarize the members with the ancient poets, their contemporaries, and other famous men. Stories of mythology portrayed by way of the pantomime make a more lasting appeal than when read from the printed page. Songs that are sung in Latin make the language appear as more personal and alive than when it is used as merely a tool for describing the terrors of the Roman underworld. Dido ' s love story becomes real when offered as a thrilling dramatization and her tragedy is very vivid indeed as we stand beside her funeral pyre. In the many years of the club ' s existence the programs have been as varied in character as the change in the personnel of the individual members of the group. The aim of the club — to instruct as well as to entertain — has been successfully accomplished. The advanced study of Latin serves as a cultural as well as an educational background. Under the experienced guidance of their adviser. Miss Inez Mercer, this would-be-difficult subject is made interesting and enjoyable. Through the informa- tion gathered from the discussions at the meetings the students gain knowledge invaluable to them in the later years of their lives. The meetings stim- ulate the minds of the members to appreciate the values of the Romance languages; consequently they work harder to achieve a greater under- standing of their work. Many students believe Latin to be a dead language. After participating in their club activities, their increase in understanding and appreciation indicates not so much dead lan- guage as a soundly sleeping interest that can be awakened. They learn of the close connection between Roman customs that have survived into our own times — family organization, the legal framework of our courts, the very words we speak. While these things survive Latin will never be dead. Thirty-six GERMAN CLUB-Desk Schacht. Standing : Fust Front Row : Schmitt Saint, Culbertson, Wol ford, P. Semrau, F. Sem rau.

John Fust Bill Saint Betty Schacht William Culbertson Miss Kohout Lernen sie Deutsch? If you do, you should be a member of the German Club. Belonging to a language club gives one valuable practice in developing facility in the use of the language. This practice cannot be achieved in the classroom with its necessary routine of recitation on the funda- mental rules more than the actual speaking of the language. The purpose of the club, states Miss Kohout, the faculty adviser, is to maintain interest in the study of the language and to become acquainted with the culture and the background of the Ger- man people. This is an admirable purpose, for in this day when feeling runs high at the deeds of a single leader, or a prople as a whole, it is well to study the history of such a race to better understand their motives and aims. The German people are so like us in character, ambitions, and ideals; yet their language, customs, background and deeds are so different from ours that we must know and under- stand these differences to establish that bond of sympathy and good fellowship that is necessary to peaceful existence. This bond is most valuable when ' established between the young people of each country, for they are more capable of friendship and will, perhaps, hav e more opportunities to use this friendship as modern inventions bring races and nations into still closer contact with each other. This friendship may be a forerunner of the ideal time when all will be members of one large family, all will be citizens of the world. Until this time, however, tangible contact is established between young Germans and the mem- bers of the Strong Vincent German club by means of private correspondence; intangible contact is established by active membership in the club. Reguirements are quite strict, since only those who find classwork comparatively easy can benefit by, and find time for participation in the club. All the members meet with Miss Kohout on the first Thursday of every month. An interesting program is planned for each meeting by the program com- mittee. On some of these programs have been skits, plays, musical selections, songs, spelling bees, and colored slides. A regular feature is the monthly news reel, a review and general discus- sion of current events in Germany, and ever pop- ular is the serving of refreshments. Dues collected at the monthly meetings are employed to pay for the victrola purchased and enjoyed by the club, and to finance all social functions. Each member may purchase a German club pin as a remembrance of the many well-spent hours of participation in this organization. Thirty-seven All the World ' s a Stage President . Secretary Treasurer . Faculty Directors Robert Pratt Roberta Maxwell William Culbertson Miss Warfel and Miss Peters Dramatics had been somewhat neglected in Vincent. Although there were Public Speaking Classes and Annual plays, these were not enough. Then last year, Miss Peters and Miss Warfel, two very energetic teachers, had an idea, and the One Act Play Club was formed under their direction. Top: The Lost Silk Hat. This year, students whose interests and talents were in the dramatic field, found an opportunity to vent their energies there. Having elected officers, they immediately began work on a play- Their enthusiasm was certainly rewarded, for their first public performance, a clever play presented at assembly, was greeted with acclaim. The Players met whenever occasion warranted, and the young actors learned something of stage technicalities. They found that unigue lighting and scenery are guite as important to a production as fine acting. Robert Pratt attended the Theatre Conference, at the Erie Playhouse, and returned with added enthusiasm and enriched technical knowledge, which he shared with the One Act Players at the most interesting meeting of the year. Every organization has an outstanding feather in its cap. That of the One Act Play Club is the unusual Christmas program which they gave last season. Miss Peters and Miss Warfel worked out a pageant based upon the song, The Nativity, and Club Members portrayed the characters beauti- fully. The color and costumes were striking; the Choral Music and reverent attitude of the actors were such that every student in the audience was happier for having seen the Pageant. Following this, the group presented a satirical play — Adolescent Young which Paula Dunlap directed. It was a splendid comedy portraying the type of illustrious mother who preaches child-care and neglects her own offspring. The faculty directors have interesting plans for the One Act Players, for with the same eager- ness and ability shown this year, such a group can look forward to participation in local and state play contests.

Vice-President Secretary Faculty Adviser Betty Lemmon Paul Thomas . Norma Jean Brow nyard Mr. Pratt Resolved: That skill in debating is of great value to everyone. The first speaker for the af- firmative asserts that debating teaches one to think clearly and effectively on one ' s feet; teaches one to be a good listener, to get the meaning of every v ord spoken; and teaches one to meet opposition courteously and decisively. The af- firmative speaker quotes the President of Allegheny College v ho said, No other activity renders so much educational value for the time spent in it as debating. To these arguments, the speaker for the neg- ative can only reply, How can I attain this skill in debating? The answer to this question to Strong Vincent students is, Join the debating Club! This club meets every Tuesday sixth period, in Room 115, where the members indulge in short debates on subjects of current interest. One of the older clubs at Vincent, the debating club has been active and successful since its origin in old Central High School. The club is now under the guidance of Mr. Pratt. Debating, aside from supplying enjoyment for its members, accomplishes very well its purpose of teaching them how to argue concisely and effec- tively by giving them practice in participating in timed debates. Each debater must learn to con- dense his material, emphasizing what is important, be able to listen carefully to his opponents and pick out flaws in their speeches to be incorporated in extemporaneous rebuttal. Everyone must have skill in these points to speak effectively. After the club has been organized each year, two teams are chosen to represent Strong Vincent in debates with other schools. Strong Vincent is a member of the western section of the Lake Erie Debating League and our opponents are Girard, Erie East, and North East. There is also an eastern section composed of Bradford, Fredonia, and James- town. The team winning the greatest number of de- cisions in the western section competed with the winning team in the eastern section at Allegheny College where the Lake Erie League champion received a loving cup and each member of the championship team received a medal. The object of the Lake Erie Debating League is to stimulate interest in debating activities through annual inter- scholastic debating. This year the guestion debated was: Resolved, That the several states should adopt a unicameral system of legislation. Each debate was judged by three competent judges approved by the op- ponent ' s director. The judges ' decisions were based on delivery, organization, content, and re- buttal. Those who represented Strong Vincent in this competition were: Affirmative team; Albert LaRusso, Robert Carlson, Shirley Walden, Betty Lemmon. Negative team: Paul Thomas, Mina Berenstain, Lucy Jane Marlowe, Gloria Santomenna.

The informal initiation of the Hi-Y provided Strong Vincent and Erie with one of the most side-splitting spectacles in years. This was followed by the more solemn ceremony of induction. Freguent meetings are held at the Y where solutions to world problems are presented. With their Hi-Y cards, the boys are privileged to enjoy the many diversified activities of the Y. Featur- ing the social calendar of Strong Vincent are the many dances and other gatherings conducted under the leadership of the Hi-Y.

Sally McClain Misses Burger, Mercer, Wilson As a Girl Reserve, I wrill try to face life squarely; To find and give the best — I will try to be Gracious in manner; Impartial in judgment; Ready to serve; Loyal to friends; Reaching for the best; Ever dependable — Thus begins the Code of a laudable organization of Strong Vincent High School which as the first letter of each line is read, spells Girl Reserves. The challenge of a healthy body, an alert mind, a willingness to serve and the desire to be a Christian Citizen is accepted by every member. The slogan of the club is ' ' Service ' ' a principle that in every detail has been skillfully accomplished. The selling of tags for the Save An Eye Campaign was the first project bestowed upon the group and closely following was the drive for the sale of Christmas Seals for the Anti-Tuberculosis Society. An habitual custom of the Girl Reserves is the traditional Hanging of the Greens a ceremony which is celebrated every Christmas season at the Y. W. C. A. The members that attend this Yuletide rite bring White Gifts of any non-perishable food which is later given to the Visiting Nurses Association to distribute to the less fortunate people of the city. Aside from the many service projects under- taken by this group, the girls who are associated for a common purpose and mutual benefit have a school year crowded with several interesting social events. Many delightfully appointed teas are given in the school library with the eager partici- pation of all the members; tureen suppers are enjoyed by hordes of hungry girls in the dining room of the Y. The members of the Tri-Hi sponsored a successful Battle of Music which was held at the Masonic Temple. An impressive Recognition Service was cele- brated at the Y. W. C. A. with the willing co- operation of students from the three high schools. The only illumination in the darkened room was the dim light of the flickering candle which each girl carried in her hand. The old members of the club formed a friendship ring around the new members who formed a triangle — the symbol of the club. An important division of the Girl Reserve Clubs of the three high schools is the Ring group. A girl to be eligible for membership in this group must be a member of the Girl Reserves for at least one year , be ready to help when any service pro- ject arises, take an active part in all the activities of the club and attend four out of the five social meetings of the group at the Y. W. discussing topics of interest to girls. At the close of this series of meetings, a committee of the Y. advisers is formed to judge if the girl is worthy of the honor of the presentation of a Girl Reserve ring at the Ring Ceremony. Forty- one Day by Day Managing Editor . Editor-in-Chief . Assistant Editor Faculty Adviser Faculty Critic Gertrude Kari Pat Schilling Burton Neiner Mr. Schenck Miss Hearn Like the poor, we have newspaper people al- ways with us. Even in school we have a group who are willing to give up their sixth period, as well as many after-school hours, to editing the Strong Vincent News. Most of us have acquired the idea that all newspaper people are rather queer. They are usually shown as having one-track minds; no matter what we see them doing there is one thing that seems to be uppermost in their minds — the news. If we would only stop to notice the news- paper people around us we would see that they are just as human as any one else. If you were to visit Room 227 during the sixth period you would find the members of the journal- ism class learning the fundamentals of the news- paper business. To become a member of this class, which is trained by Mr. Schenck, one must have ability in English, an interest in journalism, and a willingness to work diligently. In return for their patient work, these pupils gain not only valuable training in journalistic writing, but also some knowledge of how a paper is set up, a conception of the mechanics of the printing business, and train- ing in salesmanship. Besides Mr. Schenck there is another member of the faculty who has much to do with making the News a success — this teacher, Miss Hearn, gives up much of her time helping the reporters correct and improve their copy. Although there are many stories about news- paper people, few of these stories show them doing anything but gathering the news, which is only a small part of their work. There are many important facts to be considered in preparing articles for printing, such as filling out the line of a column, having a well-balanced paper, and hav- ing magnetic headlines. In order that a little knowledge of the printing business be known, each member of the journalism class has at least one opportunity to accompany the editor on a visit to the printer. The popularity of the News ha s been steadily increasing, until this year the subscriptions reached the seven hundred mark. Articles telling of the activities of the various school organizations, of the work being done by the Parent Teachers ' Association, of the victories and defeats in sports, are only a few of the subjects about which in- formation appears in the News. The News is not only the work of those students who are in the journalism class; any original work, as well as news, is gratefully ac- cepted, and will, if possible, be printed. The news class welcomes any suggestions or criticisms from students, as they will then be able to print those articles which are most interesting, and, as a result, the paper will have more appeal.

Forty-two Our Annual Record Editor-in-Chief Associate Editor Literary Editor Art Editor Photography Editor Business Manager Faculty Advisers Arline Shores Mary L. Freeman Doris Snow . William Saint . John Fust Richard Guthrie Mr. Humphrey, Miss Pearce, Miss Wilson, Miss Esler Oh dear, my hair was all mussed, I ' m sure my mouth was wide open, I got so scared that I blinked, and similar exclamations have fre- quently been uttered during this last year. The innocent cause of such mutterings has been the new, fast-action, newspaper-type camera which the Spokesman Board purchased. With this acquisition the Spokesman has become almost entirely a student project — the writing, art work, and most of the photography being done by the students. The only pictures not student photo- graphy were the individual junior and senior pictures and the faculty pictures. In addition to the photography group, all the members of this year ' s Board have watched the Spokesman grow from the time when it was a mere idea to its present state. They chose the theme, planned the pages, wrote the articles, took the pictures, did the art work, and financed the book. Of course all of these things were done under the supervision of four members of the faculty — Miss Wilson, who aided the editorial department; Miss Pearce, who guided the art department; Miss Esler, who helped the business department; and Mr. Humphrey, who assisted the photography and mounting department, and, in addition, supervised all of the departments. From the time that the 1938 Spokesman was only an idea, to the day when it was sent to the printer, every member of the Spokesman Board has been hoping and trying to make the book equal to the one put out by last year ' s staff, which was placed in first class by the Columbia Scholastic Press Association and the National Scholastic Press Association. Within three years the Spokesman has progressed from a third to a first class annual. This progress has not been accomplished without hard work. In spite of the hard work, the members of the 1938 Board reluctantly give up their position to the 1939 Board, wishing them lots of success and hoping that they have as much fun.

Vice-President Secretary . Treasurer Adviser Jean Vincent Joseph Rapone . Bill Crotty Doris Stephenson Miss Forsberg Time marches on and so does the organizing of new clubs in Strong Vincent High School. The Vincent Business Club is an alert organization with approximately seventy members who have com- pleted at least one year of shorthand and one year of typewriting or are now enrolled in some com- mercial subjects. The purpose of the club is to acguire valuable knowledge of business and its reguirements, to develop ability in the art of business, and to acguire general office information through meetings, discussions, classes and con- ferences with business people. It is to furnish new ideals of service and to stimulate and encourage the effort to realize these ideals as well as enable the members to mingle with those engaged in like pursuits, of making new friends and cultivating old ones. The Vincent Business Club has drawn up a Constitution which gives all the necessary infor- mation concerning its activities. The president chooses as many committees, known as circles, as she deems necessary to carry on the different activities and with the aid of Miss Forsberg, the faculty adviser, makes interesting and enjoyable plans for the meetings. The permanent committees are Program, Social, Auditorium, Membership, Publicity, Educational, and the Magazine Sub- scription. The entertainment of the club varies with each meeting. Miss Ellen Connell, the assistant princi- pal and girls ' adviser, discussed the proper etiquette in a business office and the necessity of manners in an office, at one meeting. There was a presentation of clever skits on the right and wrong way to act in an office and the proper way to use a telephone at another. The February graduates of this worthy organization were honored guests at a Christmas Tea. All the commercial teachers helped to celebrate the affair in partici- pating in the singing and the musical program which took place in the Music Room. Fraud in advertising and the many dangers present was e xplained at still another meeting. The place of the meeting is designated by the Executive Board which is composed of the officers of the club and the chairman of each standing committee. Each June and January an election of officers takes place. At the beginning of the semester dues are collected to take care of any money matters that may arise. It was decided that the members paying their dues before the first meeting of the semester should be called charter members and those members that paid after the first meeting should be called non-charter members. Forty-four The gyms, the pool, the track and field . . summon the boy and girl. Kicking the pig- skin down the line, swimming and diving in green -waters, stirring the dust and the crowds at noisy track meets, they enjoy traditional sports and keep abreast of the popular ones. COACHES— Top: Kramer, McCaithy, Weinheimer, Weibel, Guslavscn, Wallach. Bottom: Humphrey, Anderson, Cochrane. The Brains behind the Brawn The most important factor in any sport, major, or minor, is its coach. Coaching is one of the most thankless jobs in existence — a successful year covers the players with glory — a bad year, and the blame falls on the coach ' s shoulders. The three o ' clock gong is only the beginning of the day ' s work for the coach in charge of the sport then in season. Every afternoon from three to six, the coach drills his team, and it is not unusual for prac- tice to be scheduled also in the evening. Coach Sam Kramer, physical director, supervises all the sports with football and basket- ball his direct responsibilities. With his assistants, Mr. Cochrane, Mr. McCarthy, Mr. Gustavson, and Mr. Wallach, he meets with his football candidates two weeks before the opening of school. While Coaches Kramer and Cochrane drill the Varsity sguad, McCarthy, Gustavson, and Wallach work with the scrubs. Football and the Thanksgiving Turkey bow out of the scene together, and basket- ball immediately takes the center of the stage. Until the end of February, the coach is busy whipping the squad into shape and steering them through a strenuous program of two games each week. Red Cochrane sends out the call for track candidates while basketball is still in full swing. and sends his scanty clads whizzing through the upper halls after school, getting them in condition for outside practice as soon as the weather breaks. In addition to handling track, Mr. Cochrane in his spare time, trains the boys for boxing and wrestling in the intramurals. Mr. Weibel is busy from early Fall until Easter, coaching his water polo and swimming teams. This yaar his teams took both Water Polo and Swimming Championships in the City, the first time Vincent has accomplished this double feat, and his swimmers went to greater glory in the District and State meets. The close of the Swim- ming season is not the end of Mr. Weibel ' s work; for immediately he organizes after-school classes in Life Saving. The 1937 Golf and Tennis teams are handled very effectively by Mr. Anderson and Mr. Hump- phrey respectively, and always show the result of their efforts in the city contest. All the Girls ' Sports are handled by Miss Weinheimer, who is busy from Fall to Spring drilling the girls in their respective sports: swim- ming, basketball, shuffleboard, and volleyball. Since inter-scholastic sports for girls are frowned upon in Erie, activities are confined to keen com- petition between Class teams. These are the coaches who were in charge of sports from April 1, 1937 to April 1, 1938. Forty-six Spark Plugs Brains and Brawn With a skyrocket on the kickoff, football fans express their unanimous desire to aid their team in the victorious completion of a hard fought game. Cheerleaders are an essential part of that thing called school spirit. With voice and gesture, they combine and concentrate cheers, direct and aid to their utmost, the student body to provide the co- operative spark which is ever so vital to a winning combination. The cheerleaders officiate at pep rallies, and bolster morale from the sidelines at athletic events. Without this group of hard work- ing students, who are chosen for their ability to serve the school, many sporting events would lose life and color, and doubtlessly result in bitter de- feats. Every athlete will tell you that words cannot p hrase the actual assistance that a triumphant cheer in victory, or an encouraging rally in defeat brings to a fighting team. We greatly appreciate the fine work that these lads and lasses are doing for the school under the capable direction of Miss Bryce. We hope that in the future new cheer- leaders will be able to pick up the megaphones dropped by those graduating, with as much ability and pep as their predecessors have shown.

Many a boy has con- sidered this guestion when he found that athletic activities leave so little time for studying, and in many cases it was the studying that suffered. But to those boys who can honestly say they are both athletes and scholars, great credit is due. At Strong Vincent, these boys are recognized by membership in the National Athletic Honor Society. Each one who attains this honor must maintain a scholastic average equal to or higher than the school average for three consecutive semesters, must earn a letter in at least one sport, and in general must prove himself capable of sportsman- ship and fine citizenship. This nation-wide society has over 1400 chapters with the Strong Vincent chapter steadily increasing in membership. Today Vincentites have become so sport-conscious that worthy members of the football, track, basketball, swimming, water polo, golf, and tennis teams are awarded this, the highest honor to an athlete. The National Athletic Honor Society fulfills very well its goal of promoting scholarship, stimulating the desire for balanced training, and elevating the ideals of sportsmanship.

Under sumrner skies, these boys cut short their vacations in order to trim themselves into shape for the team — the defenders of the school ' s glory. Last fall, Vincent ' s coaches found considerable football material on hand and proceeded to mould them into a powerful team. The boys showed satis- factory promise — they were big, heavy and fast. This was certainly Vincent ' s year to conquer. Franzaglia, a 220 pounder was playing full- back. In addition, and no less important, the Colonel ' s line was bigger than it had been for several years. Tate and Gustavson, placed at tackle, with Langsdorf, Stephenson, and Laird filling the middle of the line were gilt-edged guar- antees that the line would withstand many battering assults. Donnatucci and Dunnigan, who combined the assets of speed and size, were sure-fire ends. Brandes called the signals. Dunn and Case, sup- plemented by DiTullio, Johnson and Calabrese filled backfield positions. Vincent knocked the lid off the gridiron schedule with a 14-6 win over Westfield. The team showed the spark of cooperation that wins ball games, in this opener. In the next game, which was with the Warriors from East, the Colonels were forced to bow to the adversary while frantically searching for a clicking combination. Still testing new methods of attack, the Red and Black ex- perienced a defeat at the hands of Jamestown. As this was a game in which we invaded enemy ter- ritory, the team was without the support of that Forty-eight essential student enthusiasm. Vincent ' s Kramer- men were then matched against a team of wide renown from Mansfield, Ohio. The game was held on our opponent ' s field and it is with considerable pride that we point out that this famous team was unable to score against the Colonels. The results so startled our opponents that they declined to meet us in a return engagement next year. The following week Vincent ' s hopes soared high when the team struck its stride and turned back a powerful Technical High Team, upsetting all predictions. Even though the Colonels lost the next game by one point, they acguitted themselves nobly, because they were tossing the turf with a championship team from Campbell Memorial. The hilltop Lions were scheduled as our next match and we admitted that a victory would be a strenuous battle indeed. With the starting gun we were greeted first by a favorable break and then by a succession of crushing setbacks. The final results were heavily against us, but the team had done its best and valiantly endured the defeat. Crippled in strength by injuries, and in morale by defeat, the Colonels lost to Dubois in the following encounter. In the last game of the season Vincent met Prep in a City Series contest. Coach Kramer used almost entirely a team of second string men to sound out material for next season. These boys performed beautifully and secured a win over our old rivals, drawing the season to a close. Top Row :JDunnigan, left end. Row 2 from top : Laird, guard; O. Tate, tackle; Donatucci, end.

While the report of wins and losses was not exceedingly gratifying, it was plain to be seen that circumstances had combined with more circum- stances to prevent a capable team from turning in a brilliant record. Next year ' s co-captains have been named as Oscar Tate and Fred Langsdorf. It remains to them to lead next year ' s squad of fight- ing Colonels through a similar schedule and to re-capture for Vincent the pigskin prowess that once was ours.

The end of the semester saw the axe fall on our Fifty veterans, Stephenson, Chetoni, and Kuch, leaving the team composed entirely of last year ' s reserves; therefore it was necessary for Coach Kramer to whip an entirely new team into shape by the midterm. From then until the end of the season, Coach Kramer was busy every afternoon with his team, working patiently and persistently to instill in them the confidence so necessary to win ball games. As a whole, the basketball team travels more than any other of Vincent ' s athletic groups. Some of the our closest and most exciting games were held out of the city, at James- town, Farrell, and Westfield. Other games were held at Braddock, Dunkirk, Sharon, and Sharpsville, and every place we went, the team left a record in good sportsmanship. This year ' s City Series proved to be one of the most exciting Free for Alls Erie has ever experienced; until the very last game, it was anybody ' s championship. Although East took first place in the city, two of its games with Vincent were tied in score at the final whistle, because of the last second points scored by East ' s Karuba. As a result, the games were extended into overtime periods, and in both cases we were nosed out by slim margins. Although we did not win top honors in the City Series, we gained much in experience which will make our next year ' s team better prepared for competition with other City teams. This y ear, all the games were held in the Public Auditorium, instead of the respective schools, because of its more central location, and because it has a much greater seating capacity. Every Saturday night, double headers were played and the spectators saw two thrilling games instead of one. In addition to the Varsity schedule of games, the Re- serves have played a less publicized schedule. Without cheers, applause, or a rooting section behind them, these boys turned in a remarkably fine record; a record which indicates they will be strong contenders for next year ' s crown. Among the lettermen who will be back with us next year are: Aarnio, Reinecke, Karle, Emling, and Cray. The lettermen we lose are: Addessi, Stephenson, Kuch, Scarpelli, and Merriman, Manager.

This year Vincent holds the proud title of undisputed champion in the City High School Water Polo League. Webb, Schaper, Fitting, Ericson, and Lund were veterans of last year ' s team and they lost httle time in forming themselves into a fast swimming, hard playing team. With rookie Gustavson covering the net, the team sailed through their brilliant season. The water polo season, although brief, lasting only from Thanksgiving until Christmas, is heavily laden with games. As evidence of overwhelming suprem-acy, Vincent crushed East in the first game of the season with a 10-0 score. In the second game. Academy slipped in a tying score during the dying minutes of the battle. This neces- sitated an overtime period in which the Lions again scored, winning the contest. Regaining courage and confidence in the following encounter, Vincent decisively defeated Tech. Then came a walkaway victory over East. The next game was with Academy — the aquatic Colonels dis- played their true ability and won over the Lions, despite another of their last-minute invasions against our goal which resulted in a score. Following this came our second game against the Tech Centaurs, a 3-1 win. This made our count of wins and losses tally exactly with Academy ' s record and brought the two teams into a deadlock. A playoff game was arranged in neutral waters and the time had come for the Colonels to rake the title out of the hre. In the playoff fray, the team came up from behind to win the game with a 2-1 score and to capture the Championship Crown for the glory of our school. Top : Gustavson, Liind. Center : Fitting, Ford.

That record dazzles the eyes of any reader — and that, students of Strong Vincent High School, is the enviable record of the varsity swimming team. In 1938, Vincent ' s crack swimming team made history in Erie. It went through its schedule with only one defeat, that to a powerful Mercersburg team, National FVep School Champs. Vincent set a new perfect record by downing East 62-13, in which every man entered placed either first or second. They also posted unusually high team scores in all the meets leading up to the State finals. Thirsting for more triumphs, the swimming team journeyed to State College, to win the Pennsylvania State Championship by 13 points. The next week the team was in Philadelphia where they lost the National Championship by a scant two points. They finished the season in a blaze of glory by capturing the Pittsburgh Invitational Meet for the second straight year. Individual records broken include: Robison ' s 19.2 in the 40 yd. dash, and his 54.6 in the 100 yd. freestyle, a new state record; also O ' Brien ' s 1:10.6 in the 100 yd. breaststroke. All of these records were set at Slippery Rock. Fifty-three Bottom row: MdcDonald, 440; Brandes, Low hurdles. Top row: Sandusky, High jump; Calhsta, 100 and 220. State Champions!

For the season of 1937, Strong Vincent had a better track team than in any of the previous six years of existence. There were more thrills, more school spirit, and more records broken in Vincent this year than in any Erie School. The team showed its worth by tying Cleveland Central, for fourth place in the Mansfield Relays, placing 5th at the Princeton Relays, and winning first place in the State Meet. The team owes most of its success to Red Cochrane, who has spent much of his time on them, getting ready for the season. He has checked the boys countless times, trying to smooth out the rough spots, and find the weak ones. It was long, tiring, and continuous work, but in the end he had molded the team into a smooth-working machine — of which both he and the school ought to be proud. Out of the twelve major meets, Vincent won eight, tied two, and lost only two, although in these meets the scores were very close. Throughout the year, the star performers were Jimmy Callista, Captain Joe Heberlein, and Oliver Hunter. Callista has shattered more records than any other man in Erie; he is the holder of one State, three Dis- trict, and two City records, and is Captain elect for next year. Callista also had the honor of being invited to participate in the A. A. U. U. held at Madison Sguare TRACK— Center : Coach Cochrane.

Captain Joe Heberlein set a new shotput record of 47 ' 2% in the District Meet. In many meets, Joe had given us the needed points to come through on top. This is Joe ' s last year; when he goes, Vincent loses one of its best all-round athletes. Oliver Hunter set a new time of 4 ' 35 for the mile, and came in 2nd in the State Meet. Oliver will be back with us next year, and we expect great things of him. Along with Callista, Heberlein, and Hunter, some of the other boys who helped make the team what it was were: John McCarthy, quarter-mile; Roman Miller, 220; Clinton Brandos, hurdles; Warren DiSantis, pole vault. Warren, the best all-around athlete in the school, deserves special mention for breaking the pole vault record in the State Meet, where he cleared the bar at twelve feet, two inches. The Mile Relay team, composed of the four fastest trackmen in the school — Oliver Hunter, John McCarthy, Roy McDonald, and James Callista, is an excellent example of how smoothly four boys can work together. At every meet they came through with flying colors, and won the universal acclaim of the spectators as they breezed through one meet after another, showing their heels to their op- ponents. The only jolt they received during the entire season was at the State finals where they were nosed out of first place by a slim margin of 1-10 of a second. It is with regret that we say farewell to these, the Four Horsemen of the cinder-track. In addition to the individuals who starred, there were other faithful workers earning their letters. The lettermen were: Callista, Miller, Carlson, McCarthy, Hunter, Kotz, McDonald, Heberlein, DiSantis, Gatti, Sandusky, Lopez, Campbell, Smith, Durbin, Estabrok, Brandes. The student body should also be congratulated on the wonderful support they gave the team throughout the year. At every meet our Trackmen were backed by enthusiastic students, whom they did not fail. The Junior team also showed considerable promise this year in the inter-class meet, by running up a total score of 44 points, to the Senior ' s 99. If we show as much enthusiasm next year as we did this, Vincent will again come out on top. Top row: Hunter, Mile;Estabrook .High Hurdles. Bottom row: Heberlin, Shotput, Captain; McCarthy, 440.

Center: Wrestling. Bottom: Tennis. Boxing and Wrestling These two popular intramural sports draw the biggest crowds of spectators, jamming the gym to the rafters for every bout. In each group the boys are divided into six classes according to weight, where they fight off their respective bouts until one boy emerges the victor of each class. The fights are run off much the same as professional bouts, with referees, judges, and seconds; also as in professional bouts, the audience voice their opinions by both cheers, and boo ' s. The gloves weigh fourteen ounces, minimizing the danger of a serious injury. But at the same time, a well timed punch will jolt the receiver sufficiently to raise a cheer from the gallery. Before the contestants met in actual combat, Red Cochrane trained them in the manly art of self defense for two weeks. Due to this training the lads were able to withstand the punishing blows and strong grips they received in the ring. The results in the different weights in Boxing were as follows: The flyweight division, Meyers; bantamweight, Nolan; lightheavy, Kotyuk; middle- weight, Hurn; heavyweight, Gustavson. In Wrestling these results were obtained: the flyweight division, Dunham; bantamweight, Step- hens; light weight, Hurn; middle weight, Roesch; light heavy weight, tied, Orlando, Anderson, Hurn. Boxing and Wrestling do as much as any of the other sports in developing physical and mental alertness in the boys. In addition, he has learned to take, as well as give punishment, and is in a position to adequately defend himself if the need arises. Tennis Tennis is the first intramural that is played off each fall. Any boy in school is eligible for this sport; and as a result, over one hundred candidates turned out when the contests started. The boys had developed their game during the summer, so that by fall, no time was lost in practicing and the games started immediately. There are two depart- ments into which the players may enter, the singles and the doubles. After a month of fast and furious playing in which the scores were always very close, lerry Randall nosed out Lloyd Franz for the single championship, and these two boys beat Bill Byrd and Robert James to be crowned the victors of the Fifty-six double matches. Vincent has always been proud of her intramural Tennis contests because they have been fast moving and hard fought; and it has taken the best man to win. Basketball For the past seven years, Homeroom Basket- ball has been one of Vincent ' s most exciting and fastest moving intramural sports. This year, when the call was sent out for the homerooms to organize their teams for the coming season, over two hun- dred boys answered the call. The competition was so great throughout the season that one hun- dred and fifty games had to be played, at the average rate of three games a night, before the victor in each class was acclaimed. The teams were divided into three groups, A, B, and C. The Juniors and Seniors made up Class A; the Sophomores and Freshmen fought it out in Class B, while Class C took care of the Junior High. When the play-offs were finished. Homeroom 118 emerged the victor of Class B, Homeroom 215 in Class A, and Homeroom 116 in Class C. In the finals, the contest boiled down to the Homerooms 215, and 118, because 116 was hope- lessly out-classed in competition with the older boys. The game between the two champions proved to be the most exciting of the season. Although outweighed by several pounds, the scrappy Sophomores of 118 ran rings around the 215 Seniors, to run up a final score of 23 to 17. As a reward for their fine work, 118 was awarded a trophy, by the Palace Hardware, to be kept in their Homeroom until the next season. If the Homeroom succeeds in winning the school championship for the next two consecutive years, the trophy will permanently adorn 118. Homeroom Basketball does much to provide physical training for the boys; it also may bring to light new talent heretofore not seen. Indoor Olympics This is the second year that the Indoor Olympics have been held at Vincent. Here, any boy in school has the opportunity to compete in many track and field events; he has a large group of events to choose from; dashes, and distance races, high jumps, broadjumps, pole vault, shotput, relays, and rope climbing. For his work in each, he receives a certain number of points, depending upon where he places. The contests are run off at the rate of one round a week for four weeks; at BASKETBALL— Top : Homeroom 213, Champions Class A. Center: Homeroom 118, School Champions, Champions Class B.

Each year, any boy who takes a first place has the honor of having his name placed on the placque which is hung in the team room. Indoor Olympics are held just before Outdoor Track practice starts in order to get the boys ready for the coming sea- son. It also gives the coach an estimate of new material to strengthen the Varsity for the coming year. This year, nine new school records were established. Hunter took two: the half-mile in 2 ' 8 and the mile in 4 ' 45 . Estabrook and Gallagher tied in the 80 yd. low hurdles at 9.2 . Gallagher tied with Sandusky in the 45 yd. high hurdles, at 6 . The pole vault went to Petrucelli at 10 ' 9 . DiNittis took the rope-climb, 4.5 . The twelve lap relay in 8 ' 46 , and the twenty-four lap relay in 19 ' 34 went to the team of Martin, Moore, Kotz, and Hunter — a double victory; the two hundred and forty shuttle relay. Pizza and Gallagher in 33.8 . Volleyball Volleyball is the last intramural sport to get under way each year; but it is by no means the last in popularity. Instead of being divided into the three classes as in basketball, the homerooms, both Senior and Junior, compete directly for the school championship. This year there were nineteen homerooms in competition for the crown with a total of one hundred and fourteen boys participating. As in basketball, the Junior high teams were hopelessly outclassed and eliminated early in the season. In the semi-finals. Homerooms 215 and 213, two of the Senior Homerooms, emerged victorious and faced each other across the net in the deciding game — a contest that proved an exciting one between two evenly matched teams with Homeroom 213 emerg- ing the winner, with 21-14 and 21-11 scores for the two sets. Miss Schade received the trophy on behalf of her homeroom, where it will remain until taken from them in a future contest. The defenders of 213 ' s glory are: Gustavson, Hetico, Kotyuk, James, Jackson, and Captain Johnson. Fifty-eight Archery Girls ' Intramurals We have been introduced this year to a new sport, that of archery. Beginning with the first balmy spring weather you may find a group of girls on the athletic field back of school, shooting at their targets, practising as often as possible to gain experience so that some day they may have a team with which to enter scholastic competition. Although this game does not demand great physical strength it does require much skill to become an expert archer. A keen measurement of distance must be acquired, coupled with the ability to send the arrow whizzing through the air to the spot at which it was aimed, preferably the gold bull ' s eye. Top : Archery. Mushball. Basketball [.im TV-C . V Basketball is the leader of girls ' sports at Vincent. The basketball league play-offs begin early in the second semester and continue for several weeks. The girls do not play under the same rules as the boys do, as they use a six girl team while the boys use five. Nevertheless, this does not make the game any easier. It is necessary that they be alert every minute for a possible ball coming their way. Every chance to make a score must be utilized as the time is limited for the game. Basketball is as exciting a game as one can play. The increasing interest in this sport has greatly enlivened competition for places on the teams. Mushball Crack! and away flies the ball that opens the girls ' Mushball League. Mushball is really indoor baseball, with minor changes. The ball, as the name implies, is larger and softer than the regu- lation baseball. This is as exciting a game to watch as to play. The action is very fast and it is necessary to pay close attention to follow the plays of the game. Wild scrambles among the players to catch the ball and thus prevent a run cause the spectators to jump and shout, cheering their favorite on. Many times when the weather per- mits the girls play off their games on the athletic field back of school. Center : Basketball champions. Bottom : Fifty-nine Ring Tennis Top: Ring Tennis. Volleyball. Center: Shuffle Board. Bottom: Ring Tennis is one of our most interesting and exciting games, although not much is heard of it outside the girls ' gym. There are not more than six and not less than four players on each side of the net. A small white rubber ring is the only other equipment used in this game. The score is twelve points and the teams play for the best out of three games. This year our league is composed of seventeen senior teams and three junior teams. The Ring Tennis league begins about the first of March and continues till the last of April. All of the play-offs take place after school as Ring Tennis like all other Intramural sports is an after school activity. Shuffle Board Another of the popular games played in our girls ' gym is that of Shuffle Board. This game has come to us by way of shipboard, where it first proved itself new and exciting. Each team, com- posed of two girls, is allowed ten trys to score by shooting at the white scoreboard which is painted on the gym floor. It is necessary to devote reg- ularly and faithfully the nights set aside for practice, in order to acquire the accurate eye that is so essential in placing the shots, for in this game accuracy is more important than muscular strength. Shuffle Board usually makes its appearance in the early Spring Season and it is the last league to be run off in the school year. Volleyball Volleyball, one of the favorites of girls ' sports , provides healthful, vigorous, exercise for athletic- minded lassies. As the girls jumps about to keep the ball going from one side of the net to the other, they are having a great time laughing and shouting and are unconsciously building up strong, sturdy bodies. A volleyball league was organized this year to include teams from each grade, ninth through the twelfth. Games were scheduled twice a week and the winners of each grade were given a chance to play each other to decide the school championship. This year the conclusion of the tournament found the eleventh grade crowned the victors. Sixty Swimming A girls ' varsity swimming squad has been re- tained at Vincent for the past year. ' as an after school activity because no actual inter-scholastic competition has been possible. These girls have had to limit their swimming to intramural meets scheduled between the grades, from seventh through the twelfth. A process of elimination is used to decide which grade gets the championship. Their only public appearance was at a meet held in February when the boys ' swimming team com- peted against East I-Iigh and the girls swam against each other. Aside from the competitive element, by practising faithfully the girls are building up strong, healthy, and graceful bodies. Life Saving We are fortunate at Vincent to have offered to us a course in Red Cross Life Saving. Instruction for life saving is begun about the middle of April and continues for ten weeks. This training teaches the girls how to respond to any emergency that may arise in or on the water; freeing themselves quickly if a boat overturns; breaking the strangle hold of the person near drowning; getting the victim to shore and applying artificial respiration. This training, which may seem unimportant when in a guarded pool, may in the future result in the saving of a human life. The successful completion of this training course bestows upon one the honor of wearing the Red Cross Life Saving pin. Letter Club One of the most outstanding of our after school activities is the Girls ' Letter Club. This club brings a selected group of girls together in a closer companionship. The girls hike, swim and take the lead in Intramural sports, fostering the growth and development of a girl physically and in many ways mentally. To earn admittance to the Letter Club, one must be on the winning team of any one league. To earn a letter, she must participate in three intramural sports and play in enough games to enable her to gain the set number of points neces- sary for a letter. The new members are introduced into the club following a hilarious week of in- itiation. Top : Swimming. Letter Club. Center: Life Saving Bottc Girls ' Sixty-one It ' s a Racquet! Swing It! A turnout of good material last spring assured Vincent of a team ranking favorably in the contest for City Tennis Honors. Wliile the courts were not yet in shape, inside tryouts were held, and a team was chosen. Captain Gerald Randall, the only remaining letterman, and a comparatively green team received its first setback at the racquets of Alliance College. Returning to competition with boys of the Erie schools, our team was successful in handing Academy a 6-1 defeat. The smooth working combine by this time was strong enough to deal both Prep and East love matches, and to share honors with Tech. The Colonels well earned the title of City Champions, which they divided with Tech. With the same team returning for next year ' s competition, Vincent ' s outlook seems hopeful indeed. At the beginning of the 1937 Golf Season, Strong Vincent had a very promising team com- posed of Captain Paul McCarthy, Arnold Cachione, John DeMarco, Bill Moorhouse, Arthur Caserta and Bob Snell, who started the season out well by trouncing Lawrence Park. Unfortunately the out- come of the next eight matches was discouraging, for we lost four, tied in three and won only one. After each game the city championship seemed to fade farther and farther away, but under Mr. Anderson ' s patient supervision the fighting Colonels smashed through in the last three matches to beat East, Wesleyville, and Edinboro in succession, by wide margins. This strong comeback shows but one thing, that if the team shows as much fight next year as it did this year, we are very hopeful of taking the championship in 1938.

Sixty-two w High in the hearts of the typical boy and girl are the riotous carnival, the sir ile o£ the janitress, and the familiar jalopies which sink resignedly to one side as they are parked by the school. Carnival International Casino; Auditorium Show; International Casino; Midway. Auditorium Show; ONE - TWO - THREE - FOUR - FIVE - SIX - SEVEN — the school clock strikes, as the crowd im- patiently awaits the opening of the doors in order to be among the first to see our exciting, epochal Carnival, which is presented by the students of Strong Vincent High School for the purpose of raising money for year-round activities. Finally, we are admitted, and after struggling through the milling line to the check room we are free to enter the crowded, humming halls, gaily decorated with bright posters and streamers. We are sought by energetic young lassies selling balloons, popcorn, candy, and roses. As we sweep along with the multitude, the excited voices of the barkers attract us, Step this way, folks, and follow the signs to the Midway! Play the games of fun and skill! Try your luck bowling in a miniature alley. See yourself in a colored movie! Don ' t miss the Faculty Graveyard! Each barker ardently tries to outdo the other. Following the crowds, we find ourselves in Sample Fair. Later, burdened with bundles, balloons, and refresh- ments, we daringly proceed to a fortune teller ' s booth, then to the antics of Epaminandos in the puppet show, staged by the Junior High Depart- ment. Bong! eight o ' clock. We must reluctantly leave the gaiety of the halls to attend the spectac- ular auditorium show. As throngs of happy people fill the auditorium, the orchestra tunes up, lights are dimmed, an expectant hush falls over the audience, and Walter Reese, our genial master of cerem.onies, greets us. He assures us of many remarkable features of dancing and singing. A medley of talented entertainers lightens our spirits. Bands ranging from swing to harmonica, dancing ranging from tap to colorful folk dances, and many other acts including a singing duet, an accordian team, a piano composer, our good old stand-by — the magician, imitators, and the revealing of the Emerald Empress, a long time mystery among Vincent students, have thus brought the curtains down on another excellent auditorium show. Because of the large attendance, combination tickets with the time definitely stated for each show have been provided in order to avoid the confusion of past years. The crowd leaving the auditorium is therefore heading in different directions. As the time has not yet arrived for us to attend either the Pool show or the International Casino, we return to the auditorium to see our first style show. It is presented by charming Vincent girls, who model Sixty-four Capers clothes from numerous leading fashion shops of Erie. Mary Jane Schumacher, chairman of the affair, presents the marmequins as they walk grace- fully across the stage to the rhythm of our orchestra. They display the clothes of a modem miss rang- ing from smart riding habits to exq uisite evening apparel. During an intermission, Darrow Scha- bacher and his partner, Jean Shipman, provide entertainment by demonstrating many popular dance steps. Next, according to our tickets, we go to the cafeteria to see the International Casino which replaces the Klub Amsterdam of the previous year. As we sit at a table, partaking of the delicious re- freshments served by singing waitresses and waiters, we watch a floor show starring the Rhythmeers, the CopjDer-Colored Gals from the Cotton Club, and many other talented entertainers. After the show we may dance to the swing music of the band. Finally we must leave this modem night club to attend the last pool show. Swimmers under the direction of Miss Weinheimer and Mrs. Edna Mae Rollinger have produced a rival to Billy Rose ' s Aquacade. Beginning with a water waltz to the familiar melody of the Blue Danube, the swim- mers make their first appearance, following this with the formation of various shapes and designs. Many races and relays, particularly the one to which almost every individual looks forward — the nightgown relay — succeeds the fancy and plain diving demonstration. Swimmers dressed in funny, gaudy costumes hilariously chase each other about in the pool. A jovial scene, Katie and the Kayak is enacted in pantomime by three boys. Lights are dimmed as the swimmers, with lighted candles in their hands, form a glowing S. V. The candles die out, the big lights flash on, and the swimmers bow out with well deserved applause ringing in their ears. All too quickly the time has passed, ending this frivolous evening and thus another successful Carnival lingers only in the memories of the de- lighted audience. Returning to the halls we find them littered with colored-paper streamers, candy wrappers, and trampled roses. Pausing a few minutes, we sit down on the now vacant chairs, only to be disturbed by the clean-up committee. So on we must trudge, past the deserted stands, whose barkers no longer shout at us, but now let us know that the time has come for all good children to travel homeward. The Carnival is over! Sixty-five Pool Show; International Casino; the Halls; Auditorium Show; Midway. Ever Dependable Parent Teacher Association The chief link between home and school is the Parent Teacher Association, an organization com- posed of parents interested in furthering the under- standing of their children ' s problems through closer contact with the school. The members work guietly during the entire school year on various projects. In the classes on parent education mothers learn how to meet various problems of their children. In the welfare work many mothers help to raise money and other necessities which are used to help needy students who otherwise would not be able to attend school. The Hattie M. Schabacker Loan Fund, which was started last year, was augmented by the proceeds of a card party. This fund makes it possible for deserving students, hampered by lack of funds, to gain a higher education. Cafeteria Staff Bong! There goes the bell for lunch! Starving students madly rush out of the room and down the stairs to the cafeteria. Anyone who has ever been there can assure you that food certainly improves student dispositions, easily observable from their smiling faces and from the cheerful din. Most of the students are not very well acguainted with the work done behind the scenes. Each member of the cafeteria staff, which works under the direction of Mrs. Blythe, has a particular responsibility toward the preparation of the food, which they serve, with the assistance of students, during the lunch period. The primary purpose of the cafeteria is to furnish the students wholesome food at a reasonable price. Janitorial Staff Just as hooks depend on eyes, corned beef on cabbage, and night on day, so does Strong Vincent depend on its Janitorial Staff; for without efficient janitors Strong Vincent would not be such a pleasant place. The staff, which is under the direction of Mr. Foy, with Mrs. Miller heading the women, is the unseen factor which keeps the interior and exterior of our school spick and span. Many of the duties which the janitors perform are too often taken for granted. Vincentites can well be proud of their trim lawns and of the shrubbery in the rear of the school, as well as of the clean and shining halls. This jolly crowd not only buys tickets for the Carnival, concerts, plays, and all other school activities but also sells them, and, although not a duty, all their names appear on the subscription lists of the News and the Spokes- man.

We sang our school songs and yelled our favorite cheers, led by Red Cochrane. Red is an example of what we need to push our team on — school spirit— not one part of the school, but the whole body. L ater at another assembly this point was stressed by Red Grange, the Galloping Ghost of the Gridiron, whom we were very fortunate in having. Student Council brought a series of pro- grams here for our entertainment as well as for our education. The first speaker, Jill Edwards, gave us seven helpful pointers on personality of which she herself is a lovely exponent. Following her, we had the Master Singers, whose six fine voices, accompanied by a concert pianist, offered the best in music. Mr. C. E. Jones gave us the simple principles of a tiny gyroscope top and demon- strated its importance as a factor in transporta- tion and industry. Howard Cleaves, an expert marksman with a camera, shot wild animal life; these excellent pictures of wilderness thrills were shown to us. Helen Hiett furnished us with a fresh viewpoint on international affairs. The Assembly Program Series was inter- spersed by many local speakers. On Arm- istice Day, Mr. Momeyer of the American Legion reminded us of the origin and the significance of that day. To save life during peaceful times. Lieutenant Herman J. Roush of the Pennsylvania State Police stressed that it could be done just by careful driving. On National Honor Society tap day, Mr. Grose, superintendent of the Erie Schools, gave us his opinion of this fine organization and con- gratulated the new members. For the February Class Day the Seniors chose Judge Hirt as their speaker. AUDITORIUM PROGRAM— Row 1 : Master Singers. Row2: Red Cochrane, Red Granae. Row3:Howard Cleaves, C. E. Jones.

September, 1937, the 12-2 class swung into action under the able direction of the officers: David Sterrett, president; Roy McDonald, vice president; Doris Snow, secretary; and Ruth Pearce, treasurer; and guided by the class advisers. Miss Weinheimer, and Mr. Dean. All the unused school spirit and class fellowship stored up in eleven years of attendance were expressed in the 12-2 activities. This class had gym dances and a class day, u nique in that instead of the usual vaudeville type of program, classical music and a talk by Judge Hirt of the Erie County Court were featured. They had a student swing band in the cafeteria that had the whole school with a tray in the hands and a truckin ' in the toes. They had a rollicking play as filling with fun as a dinner from soup to nuts. Instead of two separate affairs the class had a battle of music as a banquet-prom and as a fitting close to schoolday memories came Com- mencement. The Commencement program had as its theme, The Story of the Constitution and speeches were made by Ruth Nelson on The Colonies Face a Crisis, Robert Lohse on Making of the Con- stitution, Dorothy Miller on The Constitutional Convention Convenes, Douglas Nagle on Pro- posed Plans, Catherine Nyberg on Great Com- promises, David Sterrett on The W ork Com- pleted, Ruth Pearce on The Fight for Adoption, Robert Nichols on The Amendments, James Speed on The Constitution in the Life of Today. Musical selections by the school orchestra and individuals in the class; and speeches by Principal Coon and Superintendent Grose completed the formal graduation of the January 1938 class from Strong Vincent High School. Seventy Finale! Twelve years ago these people toddled to the brink of public school education to spend their time in absorbing knowledge, and being trained for life. At the culmination of their school days, the 12-2 ' s concentrated on many activities and traditional functions under the guidance of the faculty advisers, Miss Ellen Connell and Mr. Armogost, and their officers: Fausto Addessi, president; Sally McClain, vice president; Barbara Hilditch, secretary; and Walter Sutton, treasurer. These activities included a food sale and gym dance to the tunes of a nickleodeon, which had the advantage of providing the latest music by the best dance bands. They had a class day with many novel stunts and a class play about which the whole town is still talking. The enjoyable banquet-dance and the magnificent prom will long be remembered. Then, when they were begin- ning to regret having to graduate at all, came Commencement Night. On the school platform, for the last time, in the formal cap and gown, they sat listening to the music and the speeches. The theme of the speeches was Youth and Education based on the report of the Advisory Board on Education, with speeches by Fausto Addessi on The Significance of the Report of the Advisory Board on Education, John Fust on Inequalities of Educational Opportunities, Shirley Walden on Youth Migration, John Britton on Former Grants and Federal Control, Bernice Weingart on Funds, Dick Guthrie on Research, Mina Berenstein on Private Schools, and Gordon Wagner on Federal Control.

Seventy- four Frequently the boy and girl come as giddy junior high students, ever in the path of the upperclassmen. They struggle, puzzled, through their Freshman year; more, hopefully they survive as Sophomores and wondering Juniors; until at last, as Seniors, they feel they have found that definite niche for which they sought so long. 9 0 M _, iLiJk i The Junior High School 7-1 Row 1 : Walker, Uht, Dunham, Boback, Regel- man, Koehler, Pifer, Painter, Case, Dreger, Griffin, Flower.

Seventy-six Sophomores Our Sophomore Class is formed, augmenting the ranks of our ninth graders, by those boys and girls who come from Roosevelt and Gridley Junior High Schools. During the course of an entire year, they flounder, an unorganized group. It is a pleasant sort of floundering however, — For they are expectant, and sense that there is much in store for them. Ahead, are all the thrills of growing up and endless opportunities to serve Vincent. They attend a few school functions, have as yet to hold their own in activities — but sometimes, they also serve, who only stand and wait.

Not yet eligible for honors, they begin to participate in activities so that they may earn those honors in Junior or Senior years. In athletics they form the scrub teams, the sub- stitutes. On committees, as Junior members they learn by observing the dignified upper classmen, whose efficiency and importance they envy as they aspire to like positions of prominence. And so, by serving as they wait — not patiently, but crowd- ing closely on the heels of their elders — they prepare to take their places in the sun.

Assisted by their advisers, Miss Hearn and Mr. Blake, the class chose as their officers: President, Harriet Milloy; Vice President, Edward Wood; Secretary, Harrison Dunn.

Four 19 3S8 When His Mark was good form Even as recently in history as the settlement of America, it was considered no disgrace to sign a contract wilh a mark. Writing was a fine art, confined to a few scriveners, wlio sucked their sustenance, as certain sick people are said to do, througli a cjuill. ' Yet today even the day-laborer declares his income over his own signature, and immigrants I ' rom the most backward sections of tlie globe attend night school to form their names with pencil and jjen. Miat was once a special art has become a common and unnoticed accomplishment throughout civilization. When writing paper was rare the average man had no particular need of knowing how to write, for he had nothing to write upon. When means were invented for making large quantities of pap( r cheaply, writing came into conunon experience and iiis mark went out. Haiiinierniill Paper Company Erie, Pennsylvania.
