This statement is equally true applied to the education of youth. In the same way that the growth of a tree is helped or hindered by the forces of nature, student development is effected by different methods of training. Because schools now provide every instructive activity to fur- ther all phases of student advancement, this, the 1939 Spokesman .... EPlC'I' HEIII 1 U 5 - 5 - , -1' T?f.i2fKL , . .. ,-.3.

He prepared for his career as a teacher by attending Colgate and Penn State, graduating from the latter . . . Being of a studious turn of mind, he has continued his work in later years at the University of Pittsburgh and New York University . . . He began teaching at old Central High in 1925 and continued at Strong Vincent Where he was promoted to assistant principal in 1932 . . . His favorite pastime is prophesying what old man weather has in store for our outdoor games . . . His batting average here is about fifty-fifty . . . Among his many responsibilities are those of being school treasurer and faculty manager of football . . . He does his good deeds more than daily, continually giving a helping hand to puzzled students in their problems . . . He is very fond of travel, too, especially in his beloved Scandinavia, but last summer he made the momentous decision that traveling with a companion is a lot more congenial than being a lone wolf . . . We wish him and Mrs. Anderson the very best of luck and happiness in the future. ElllUA'I'Ell Qffiwplm 3 Ezltfmqsg EMDQ -.a..a1,,5ge-. ea' X -i iiflllw QT? g xq . DERO with the deep respect and sincere admiration that he has well merited for his service to Strong Vincent. Mr. Anderson, by his untiring work and wholehearted devotion to duty, has materially aided in the growth of our school, from the small organization at old Central to our present Well integrated group at Strong Vincent. With his keen sense of fair play, combined with his unswerving example of honesty and justice always before us, he has impressed upon every student with whom he has come into con- tact, the value and necessity of these character- istics. 3- gg 4 1 Principal W. Edwin Coon A.B. Allegheny ' M.Ed. University of Pittsburgh Principal's Message F' S' Anderson The modern school is designed to care for the all-around development of its students. In it, the emphasis is placed on a healthy mind in a healthy body and the development of a proper attitude towards society. To this end our curriculum has been expanded. New departments have been added. Physical Education and Sports are taking prominent and important places in the every day life of the student. School doctors and nurses check the health of students. Furthermore, the school carnivals, musical comedies, Senior Class plays, dances sponsored by various organizations, concerts, clubs, and other activities tend to make one better able to appreciate the efforts of his fellows, and to develop a spirit of fair play and toleration for others. Of the greatest importance is one's mental development. Since the school is primarily a place to learn, we hope that you, Students of Strong Vincent High School, will acquire a strong foundation of facts and develop an ability to think clearly. The extent of this will depend on the ability, energy, and enthusiasm with which you do your tasks day by day. -Work that springs from the hearts desire, Setting the brain and the soul on fire-l' -W.

Miss Greiner, Miss Hartleh, substitute. Administration All organizations must have a department which controls and directs the rest. Here in school we call this department the administration and it not only controls and directs, but also gives at helping hand to all students in their problems. We never think specifically of the duties of the administration unless we are sent to the office, and then our thoughts are a little bitter. The principal, his assistants, and the office staff' do their Work so efficiently and direct the running of the school so smoothly that We are scarcely conscious of the immense job they so ably ac- complish. Tl1e only way to really comprehend its far-reaching work would be to picture our school, a community of varying interests, going its own Way without the guiding hand of the Hoificef' Think of the l50O pupils making out their I Nine schedules at random with a Wild hope that any of them would agree and that a teacher would, too. Imagine the cozy little classes of a hundred and fifty or so, working in rooms built to accom- modate thirty-five. Students would be walking in and out at all hours with no records of atten- dance. We could not Hnd the number of our credits because there would be no office files. Why, there vvouldn't even be anyone to lead our singing of American in auditorium! Yes, what would we do without our adminis- tration to guide us in doing things. We are lucky in having our Mr. Coon, Miss Connell, and Mr. Anderson to head our school, and Miss Weindorf, Miss Sheehan, and Miss Greiner to keep our records, handle clerical work, take care of our locker keys, and many, many other things.

AM Our Cafeteria StaH The lunch bell rings! A crowd of hungry students, regardless of the rebukes of the monitors, rush to the Cafeteria, grab trays, and begin to Hll them with good things to eat. To them this is the time to appease that empty feeling in their stomachs. They thing nothing of those who are responsible for the smooth running of the Cafeteria. The Cafeteria Staff, under the direction of Mrs. Blythe, have spent the morning pre- paring an appetizing array of food wl1icl1 they place temptingly before the students at a very reasonable cost. Not once, but at the signal of each of the seven luncl1 periods, these women are ready to serve the hungry groups. During the lunch periods the reg- ular staff is assisted by a group of students. In addition to supplying the students with wholesome food, the staff is always willing to cooperate with school activities, in which its help or the cafeteria equipment is needed. We are very grateful for the services of these women. Our Maintenance StaH Can you imagine Strong Vincent with- out a Janitorial Staff for just three days? What would be the appearance of the exterior and interior of our school? It is the duty of this staff to keep our school clean and comfortable. Each day after school they take particular care of the class rooms and the halls. The women, under the guidance of Mrs. Miller, better known as Anabel, work hard to keep the stairways, locker rooms, showers, girls, rooms, in fact every nook and corner, spic and span. Headed by Mr. Foy, the men take excep- tionally good care of the gymnasia, en- trances, lawns, and shrubs. They also have complete charge of the operation of the con- trol and projection rooms and the engineer- ing department. As well as performing their regular services, this efiicient group of men and women are always ready to support all of our school activities. The Janitorial Staff is indispensable to our school and we are proud of the way they are taking care of it.

A sccnc from M5110 Stoops to tfonquori' staged for thc Loan lfund. l Since the Strong Vincent Parent Teachers' Association was organized in May 193-1, il has proved itself in- dispensable to the Welfare of the school. Its enthusiastic President, her able assistants and their various committees have worked very hard to promote child welfare in the home, as Well as in the school and in the community. This year the theme of the P.T.A. was Building on the Past for the Future. In addition to the regular business routine of the meetings there are also vocal and orchestral selections, talks by prominent educators, and often refreshments are served. The Hattie M. Schabacker Stu- dent lioan Fund, which was founded in 1936, has filled a great need in supply- ing students with financial assistance so that they may further their educa- tion. The proceeds from She Stoops to Conquer,', which was given in the the Phoenix to the fund. citizens have school auditorium by Players, were donated Interested parents and also made considerable contributions. Entirely maintained by gifts, the fund about fifteen has now increased to hundred dollars, a large percentage of which has been given out in loans. Already it has aided eight students in securing higher education. The board endeavors to follow the student through with an annual loan. A fund as worthy as this ought to grow through the years and wc sincerely hope it will. The association has a large field for activity in the wel fare department, also. Here mothers help to raise money and other necessities which are given to needy students, Who, other- Wise would be unable to attend school. However, the Student Loan Fund and the welfare department are not the only interests of the P.T.A. The com- mittees sponsoring better films, radio broadcasting, safety, hygiene, and hospitality also have a Wide scope for activity. Fourteen 1 , 1 Q ,Y.-f:,e12f '- V .

For this reason the student endeavors to gain with the help of instruction and training, the useful knowledge that past generations have built up for his benefit. By means of study he develops the powers of his mind and acquires the ability to think. Through the current of well directed thought he can build up his educa- tion and promote his success. Because the thoughts and achievements of the boys and girls of today will play a large part in the world of tomorrow, the most important work of educators is to further their mental development.

The staff is marked according to their inchage in each issue, that is, the number of inches of printed material that each member has written, the appearance of their articles when they are handed ing the promptness with which the assignments are completed, and last, but far from least, the general attitude shown toward the work. They receive a thorough training in every line of the newspaper business, including not only how to write articles, but also how to gather news, how to proofread, how to set up a paper, and how to canvass subscriptions. These embryo journalists also learn the meaning of many newspaper terms, such as Hcutf' Mears, and others. Any Junior or Senior who is interested in writing and who is dependable, accurate, enter- prising, and willing to work is eligible to become a English This question was recently asked in a class- room, Hlf one wishes to learn English, what must one study? The reply was, 6'All the phases of the English Language, oral and writtenf, This, of course, includes grammar, composition, rhe- toric, and literature. Had the question been asked WHY does one study English, the answer would have been obvious. One must learn to express himself effectively, read and write intel- ligently, and spell correctly if he is to make a favorable impression. A new, improved system for teaching English has been introduced into Erie schools this year. After a careful analysis of the subject, with solely the pupils, interests in view, it has been concluded to Adapt the course of study to fit the student. Great things are expected from this new system after the necessary revisions and corrections have been made. member of this class, which is trained by Mr. Schenck. The class meets daily sixth period in Room 223. Besides being sent every month to nearly twenty high schools and colleges in Pennsylvania and Ohio, a copy of every issue of the News is forwarded to the School Press Exchange. This bureau, which is a department of Penn State College, receives and carefully examines papers from schools throughout Pennsylvania, New York, and Ohio. At the end of each month, the HEX- change issues a bulletin commenting on the good and bad points of these papers. Articles from the Vincent News have been mentioned twice dur- ing the past year, both times favorably. Although the editing of the News is done largely by the staff, that does not mean that any- one else is forbidden to write for it. Every student in the school is welcome to contribute to the News, whether it be an article, a suggestion, or a criticism. Contributions may be dropped in the 'iNews boxes which are in the front hall and the library, or they may be given to Mr. Schenck directly. This year, for the first time, the members of the 6'News staff receive five credits a semester for their labor. They formerly received only five credits for the entire year's work. Foreign Languages Vincent's Foreign Language Department sup- plies an ample opportunity for the student de- sirous of knowledge of a foreign language, either for the mere pleasure of knowing, or as a pre- paratory course for college. A minimum of three years of French, German, or Italian, and four years of Latin are taught. Beginners wishing to study Latin may do so under the guidance of Miss W. Wright or Mrs. Brockway, the advanced student with Miss Mercer. Miss Bourquin and Miss Evans teach anxious students to parlez francais, just as Miss Kohout helps German students to acquire a conversing German vocabulary. The Italian student may become better acquainted with the works of the Great Masters under the able super- vision of Miss Galbo, our Italian teacher. Twenly-lwo A.

The instructors in this field are well fitted for their positions and the pupils have modern and efficient text books to aid them in their studies. Vincent students are very fortunate in being able to take courses in advanced mathematics. During the first two years of junior high school the pupil studies a general course in arith- metic under the instruction of Miss Carrick. In the ninth grade Miss Van Natta guides the classes in their study of elementary algebra. In tl1e first year of senior high school the pupil gets a still more advanced view of mathematics when he studies plane geometry with Miss Turner, Miss Cantlon, or Mr. Hughes as his instructor. ln the junior year, he again returns to his study of algebra. Last year our algebra course was lengthened so that Algebra 3, formerly a half year course, now requires a full year for its com- pletion. The subject previously known as Alge- bra at has been incorporated to a certain extent with the present Algebra 3 and fl, and with additional information on higher mathematics has become known as advanced algebra. A choice of this course, solid geometry, and trigonometry is offered in the senior year. After the first year of algebra all classes in that subject are under the instruction of Miss Bryce. Turner teaches the solid geometry classes and Mr. Hughes, the trigonometry classes. The courses in advanced algebra and trig- onometry are very helpful to those students who are preparing to go to college even though neither is a requirement for entrance to most universities. These two subjects are taught only when there is a demand for them among the students. Physical Science What is more wonderful than the thrill that one gets in studying science? Through it all the mysteries of the universe are unfolded before our astonished eyes. Vincent may well be proud of its science department, with its well equipped labora- tories and its competent instructors. The student gets his first taste of science in junior high school Where he studies general science under Mr. Weihel, Mr. Cochrane. or Mr. Blake. In senior high school his studies become more specialized. He has his choice of one or several branches of science, of which biology is usually ll1e first to be taken up, Mrs. Flynn and Mr. Cochrane ably guide these classes in their study of plant and animal life. Physiography is the next of the sciences to be studied. The earth and its construction, the wonders of the universe, and Proxing a theorem: Solid Geometry Performing an expe Twenty-four atmospheric conditions are taught in classes under Miss Burke or Mr. Shanor. . When the student first enters the chemistry class he steps in to a new world. In chemistry he gets his first view into the more advanced fields of science. In the laboratory under the super- vision of either Mr. Armagost or Mr. Blake he will decompose compounds or make them. In Physics the pupils learn by actual experimentation about the laws and forces that govern the universe. This department is ably headed by Mr. Shanor. Physics and chemistry are open only to juniors and seniors. Senior science, a subject recently added to our curriculum, was created for the benefit of those who do not plan to attend college. In this course the pupils learn to apply the prin- ciples of science to every day life. They become interested in science because of the benefit which they, as consumers, can derive from their know- ledge of it. Senior science students are fortunate in having Mr. Armagost as their instructor. Social Science livery year more and more emphasis is being placed on the social sciences. There are probably more students in this field than in any other with the exception of English. It is our duty as citizens of the United States to understand its problems and the laws by which it is run. The courses offered in this held include civics, world history, United States history, problems of democracy, and economics. Civics gives the pupil a general knowledge of our national and local governments, and the problems that arise in our nation. World history gives the student a knowledge of European affairs and the bearing that they have had upon the growth of our nation. In United States history the pupil studies the history of our country from its earliest be- ginning to the present day. He also learns of the manner in which the government is conducted. All the problems that a democratic nation faces are brought to his attention when he studies problems of democracy. In econcmics he studies financial problems and acquires a knowledge of the business world. All the instructors in this field are rendering an invaluable service to their community and to their country by preparing the students for their future positions as citizens. The junior high history classes are under the guidance of Miss McCarthy and Mr. Weibelg Miss Foust is the competent instructor of the civics classes. The world history classes are taught by Mr. Wallace, Miss Foust, Miss Quirk, and Miss Sourwineg and the United States history classes are taught by Miss Evans, Mr. McCarthy, Miss Peters, and Mr. Pratt. The classes in problems of democracy are instructed by Mr. Wallace and Mr. Gustavsong Mr. Gustavson also teaches the economics classes. ient in chemistry P. O. D. class preparing for the Pitt Forum. Twen l y- five .L Industrial Arts Room 122 is where Strong Vincent students become familiar with sucl1 machines as, the jointer and lathe, and the more common tools as, the bit, chisel, plane, and screwdriver. Not only do the shop students know what the tools look like, but they know how to handle them capably and with- out danger to themselves. Here they learn not only how to make things, 'but they obtain a knowledge of their materials-the different woods, varnishes, enamels. Mending a broken chair, filing a saw, or fixing a broken lock is just routine home work to Mr. Groschke's pupils. These boys, along with the other things they can do at home in the way of repairs, are adept at reconditioning furniture. Far from being removed and separate from other departments of the school, the shop division Practice in woodworking. rv Practice in sewing. t works in cooperation with them. A certain number of standard open book cases are being finished each year until every room in the school is supplied. Drafting, the graphic language of industry, is also important to any young man who intends to take part in almost any branch of industrial work because he will be required to read blue-prints. Because he gets experience in making them, his understanding of blue-prints is also an aid to him in shop work. More highly specihed, drafting is a basis and a ground work, and essentially important to anyone intending to studying engineering. These two avocational subjects were designed for boys, but several girls have discovered their advantages. Domestic Science In days of long ago, a true lady had to be accomplished in fine sewingefrom the ladies of the Middle Ages with their embroidery frames, to the modern girl making her own wardrobe. In high schools everywhere today, the sewing depart- ments offer carefully planned courses. ln our own school, Miss Benson capably teaches her classes not only the different stitches, how to cut from a pattern, how to fit clothes, and how to put them together neatly, but they also learn the important fundamentals of design, line, color, and how to recognize good materials in their different weaves, textures, and fabrics. The biggest adventure in cooking is learning to change this art from a doubtful experiment to a science. It is all very well to learn how to make creamy fudge, but to be able, as well, to put to- gether-with successwsome of the basic dishes of a meal is also very important. Along with ex- perience in cooking foods, the student learns the '6do,s and the i'don't's of buying the ingredients. Miss Crowell, head of the cooking department, offers a full and interesting semester. This course is open to boys as well as girls. ln the past year, the cooking classes have been filled to capacity, including many wise lads who foresaw a future need for knowledge of the culinary art. Twenly-sir it t Art A knowledge of art is valuable to us not only because of the culture that we attain from it, but also because it may lead us into interesting hobbies and activities. An appreciation for art marks every cultured person. The influence of training in art will be felt throughout the entire life of the student. The impressions made at high school are lasting and influential in character building. New worlds open to the person who is able to feel and appreciate beauty in its various forms. Such classes are definite aids in the search for cultural attainment. Miss Galinsky teaches the art classes in junior high school, where it is a required subject. These classes did very useful work this year in lf after making toys for the Junior Bed Cross. he reaches senior high school, the pupil is interested in art and wishes to continue his studies, he may ln lhe do so under the guidance of Miss Pearce. art courses the pupil learns to apply his creative knowledge by various assigned projects such as still life studies in charcoal and water color, and pencil sketches. The art department renders a great service to the school by supplying posters and any other necessary art work for all activities. Commercial A large number of Vincent students en ter the commercial courses. Those who must secure positions immediately upon graduation because the course prepares them for a definite vocation, and those who intend to continue their education because the training they get from typing and shorthand will be useful to them in their college work. Business education not only supplies training for immediate employment but also for further studies along the same line. Vincent has many competent instructors in the commercial field. The typing and shorthand classes are always crowded. Miss Esler, Miss Forsberg, Miss Lange, and Miss Warfel teach the shorthand classesg and Miss Shalkham, Miss Esler, Miss Forsberg, and Miss Warfel, the typing. Two years of typing are offeredg during the first year the pupil learns the keyboard and acquires Twenty-seven Freehand in Art. Transcribing shorthand notes. speed, and in the second year he learns to trans- cribe notes. Mathematics is of' vital importance in the commercial subjects as well as in the academic fields. One year of commercial arith- metic and two of bookkeeping are offered under the guidance of Miss Schade, Miss Shalkham, Mr. Wick, and Mr. Schenck. Mr. Schenck also teaches classes in Commercial Law and Miss Quirk has classes in Business English. Com- mercial Law and Business English are half year courses. Graduates in commercial work should leave school with a better understanding of economic laws. Business training prepares students not only for efficient participation in productive activities but also trains them to save money and invest wisely. Besides learning to do their own work well, the students in commercial fields learn to cooperate with others, for they do work for both faculty and fellow students. 1 A Cappella Choir President - Probert Ormsbee Vice President - r Annette Shutllin Secretary 1 - - Doris Coburn Treasurer - - William Smith Corresponding Secretary - 1 Yirginia Ennis Historian, , - r Robert Butt Librarian - Violet Mae Karaisz Director eA.e . Mr. Grendel' Facility Advisers ,. Miss Wilson, Miss Connell Faculty Manager - 1 Mr. Gustavson Our A Cappella Choir was organized in the fall of 1932. Each year since then it has been gaining new laurels for itself. Seldom does it appear without. being asked to make a return performance. The choir members not only learn how to sing notes but they also learn to feel that which the composer wished to express and to interpret that emotion to their audience. This year, one day of the week was devoted to the study of theory, in an effort to increase the mem- bers' knowledge of music. This year the choir made its third annual trip to New York City. The group lengthened its trip by stopping at Lewisburg, Pennsylvania, and Wilkesbarre, Pennsylvania to give performances on the way to New York. ln their broadcast over WJZ they upheld the excellent reputation that they have gained in previous years. Their stay at New York was climaxed by a brilliant ap- pearance at the World's Fair on May 21. The fact that the choir has been asked repeatedly to return to New York is a proof of their ability as singers, and of their good conduct as ladies and gentlemen. At the annual Christmas Concert, tl1e group had the Academy Choir as its guest. ln their turn, our A Cappella was the guest of the Academy group. Eugene Bossart again added greatly to the success of the Spring Concert with his brilliant performance on the piano. The A Cappella Choir is one of the many line organizations which have contributed so much toward placing Strong Vincent in the national limelight. They also do a line Work in helping to guide our student body toward a greater appreciation of good music. Mr. Crender may well be proud of the fine organization that he has created.

Arloween Steiner, llita Swanson Librarians - Helen Tice, Ann Shafer Direelor - , , Miss Galinsky The Girls, Chorus, much like an athletic team, must work together as a single unit in order to achieve its goal: perfection. Each girl's voice must blend faultlessly with the other voices. The girls practice every day with this aim in mind. The Chorus works toward a series of spring con- certs to be given in the smaller towns around Erie. The Chorus sang at our Christmas concert, at St. Mary's Home, and at tl1e Zem Zem Home. To raise funds for expenses which come up during the year, monthly pop-corn sales are held, the Chorus being a self-supporting group whenever possible. In addition, several social events are l1eld by the girls during the year.

Each boyis face is lit up with happiness as he tackles the important business of singing good music. At first his efforts may fail, but by zealous practice the desired results will be reached. In addition to the fun of singing typical male chorus songs, valuable train- ing is acquired for eventual work in the A Cappella Choir. During the football season, the Glee Club led the singing in several auditoriums. The boys sang at our Christmas and Spring concerts, as well as in several high-schools throughout the city. .

Brown Strong Vincent's forty-live piece Orchestra represents well the type of classical music its school appreciates. Members of this organization have not only a chance to develop their instru- mental skill, but a chance to learn to interpret and love fine music. To those not naturally musically talented, the Orchestra offers a variety of selections which are presented at several as- semblies. Under Mr. Brownis capable direction every second period, the Orchestra has developed into one of the finest in the city. Any student who plays an orchestral instrument is welcome to join this organization. During the last school year this musical group has rendered its services at a variety of programs. According to the annual custom, it lent a pleasing touch to the graduations. It also performed at the senior class plays and several Parent Teacher Association meetings. A splendid Spring Concert given in conjunction with the Band, climaxed a very successful year. Strong Vincent was also well represented at several other performances. The Orchestra together with the Band, sponsored a dance in the school gym. lt also held a popcorn, prelzel and potato chip sale. A trip to Cleveland, planned by the Faculty Adviser, Mr. Dean, included the witnessing of an opera. This trip was thoroughly enjoyed by all members. Each year, Mr. Brown has the privilege of awarding school letters to five students who have been members of the Orchestra for at least 'three years and have been loyal workers during that time. Our school is truly proud of the work this organization is doing. ORCHESTRA-Director Brown. Row 1: Burroughs, Griflin, Hoornstra, Nelson, Kingsbury, Gorenflo, Lawrence.

This motion, quickly seconded and passed by Council, illustrates the esteem with which the student body holds the band. Besides performing at the pep-rallies, the band played at all the local Vincent football games, although it was not found possible to accompany the football team on any of the team's trips. Into the music room every first period, come the boys carrying their instruments. Here many difficult selections, as well as more modern fav- orites such as the Donkey Serenade are practiced. The musical portion, however, is by no means the only factor in making for a good Th irly-one performance by a band. Marching is also a very important requirement. Realizing this fact, the boys devote much time to drill in parading. As we sit in the grandstand watching the band enter the Stadium doors, we feel a surge of pride. Then-look, there is a boy out of rank! Thus the importance of working together dawns on us. .lust as Hone rotten apple will spoil a dozen good onesf' so one weak cog in the band will spoil the appearance of the 'entire group. One of the greatest lessons in life that an organization such as the band can teach, is to cooperate with your fellowmen. Under the able direction of Mr. Brown, the band has become proficient in this major requisite for a good musical organization. ln addition to their performances in school assemblies, this organization presented a program at Academy High School: and appeared in a joint concert with our orchestra. As is the annual custom, five boys, members of the band for three years and recommended by Mr. Brown as having improved to the greatest degree, received minor school letters. This year for the Hrst time, band members receive full credit for their work in this organization. Rope drill for the boys. Dr. Brecht tests for defective hearing. Doctor and nurse giving the annual health check-up. Physical Education A voice repeatedly calling HLeft, right, left, right, the rumble of many feet and we know that a gym class is in progress. Two years of physical education is now the minimum for graduation and the requirement is being raised to three years. Pride in a sound body dates back to the early Greeks. Muscular coordination, a sound body, vigor, and a responsive mind can be attained through the proper physical education. Capable swimming instructors endeavor to teach the beginner, improve the intermediate, and perfect the swimmer. American Red Cross life- saving instructions are given throughout the year and tests determine the progress made by individuals, with awards going to the successful ones. V Outstanding performance in gym and swim- ming eventually leads to participation in after- school activities. The work accomplished by Miss Weinheimer with the girls and by Mr. Kramer and Mr. Cochrane with the boys un- doubtedly accounts for the prowess of the Red and Black athletic teams. Medical Staff The least known organization and probably the one which receives the least amount of atten- tion and praise is our medical staff. The staff is made up of Dr. Scibetti and Miss Secord, the nurse. First aid is rendered by Miss Secord, who visits the school twice a week. When a pupil is ill, it is again the duty of Miss Secord to visit his home and see that he is properly taken care of at once. Precaution is taken if the pupil has a con- tagious disease to prevent it from spreading throughout the school and home. These, how- ever, are not the only duties of the nurse who with the doctor gives every pupil a thorough examina- tion each spring. The doctor performs the examination and the nurse keeps a careful record of each pupil's health. Eyes, teeth, and throat are carefully inspected. lf defects are discovered, pupils are referred to their family doctors or if necessary to the school clinic. if we are to have a school that stands out in sports, activities, and scholarship, we have need of maintaining healthy bodies and minds. The duty of the school doctor and nurse is prevention and care of disease rather than its cure.

But to those seniors who would no more walk through the halls of Strong Vincent as under-classmen, came flooding back the memories of past ac- tivities. Most vividly remembered were those that happened in their 12-2 year. The food sales which took place in September and sold out completely each time, the rally dance held before the Vincent-Academy game in the Girls' Gym, another dance put on with the aid of the A Cappella, the series of after-school dances in the gym, and the skating party, will long be held in memory by every senior, as will the class play. .IANUAR Y COMM EN CEMENT SPEAKERS- Seated: Galiriclson, Carlson, Sprickman, Levey, Marlow, Maxwell.

The Class Day program, a school-room skit, brought forth much laughter from the audience. The pupils in this fictitious school-room sang popular songs, played guitars, made fun of the teacher, and even held a style show. Then came the Senior Banquet and Prom held at the Lawrence Hotel, bringing to an end the activities of the January Graduating class.

Kottmeyer. Standing: Mr. Blake, Mr. Wallach, Estabrook. Parting IS Such Sweet Sorrow Never could it be said the June Seniors were ever idle. As soon as they were safely l2-l's they elected David Schaper, Presidentg Harriet. Milloy, Yice Presidentg Eileen Kottmyer, Secretaryg and Richard Esta- brook, Treasurer. They chose as advisers Miss Hearn, Mr. Blake, and Mr. Wallachg at Miss Hearn's resignation, Miss Wilson took her placeg and they began to make plans for the year. The first was a dance in the Girls' Gym on St. Patrick's Day. This dance was followed by another successful dance, attended by the graduates to be and undergraduates. All the social events were planned by Clem Schwab and his committee. As the weeks flew by, the Class Play Committee, headed by Huthe Johnson, chose Headed For Eden, given on May 5 and directed by .lack Lewis of the Play- house. On May 29 the seniors sat down to a banquet, followed by a dance, at the Masonic Temple, arranged by a committee headed by Margaret Louise White. With a day's vacation to recover they then worried themselves past their exams. lixamsover, they prepared for their Class Day program on June 9. Lead by Bill Harbold, the seniors took great delight in having a day of their own and made the most of it. The Prom was held on June l6 in the Armory and was a very gay and successful dance. The night came which every senior had long anticipatedf-their Commencement Night. The Commencement theme, Ulidu- cat.ion For Democracy was very timely and an ideal subject. In a day when one fears that all liberty and freedom will soon be lost unless dictatorship is wiped out, no other theme would have been suited to the occas- ion. Mary Illig, Doris Schutte, Charles Moresco, George Sisson, William Harbold, David Schaper, Harriet Milloy, and Park Klie held their audience enthralled as they tried to show them how everyone needs to be educated if they are to have democracy. The graduating seniors could not help but wonder into what sort of a world they were soon going. But all these thoughts were wiped out of their minds as they awaited their turn to be presented with their dip- lomas by Mr. Coong and to listen to the con- gratulations of their friends and relatives which signified that their high school days were over.

' A sound mind in a sound bodyf' J uvenal Statement In order to understand the importance of health and its relation to mental and moral growth, students must have the benefit of physical education. Besides the study of physical culture, this course also includes healthful exercises and training. The effort to achieve greater physical fitness not only results in added strength and efficiency, but also tends to produce grace of movement, alertness, and a well rounded personality. Because we recognize the importance of healthy bodies, our school provides all forms of athletic activities, both curricular and extra-curricular.

Meadville ,.,. ,V c , T Nov. 19 liasl, H ,C C., l5 When Coach Sam Kramer sounded the call for grid candidates on last August 25, he was greeted by a pack of about sixty-live promising lads who were eager to don moleskins and demon- strate their prowess. Having only two weeks before the first game, against Grove City, Coach Kramer had to build fast in order to have a strong team to face the Hartman coached combine. Not only did he build fast, but he built well, for the inexperienced Colonels walloped the invaders to the tune of 28-0. In the next game Vincent appeared to lack a scor- ing punch, for they had to hustle to earn a 14-ll l Sixty-n ine Nlzumgcrs: Wlallavll, Mr'- Carthy: Coaches: Cochrane, Kramer, Gustavson. 'mi A tie with the Warren, Penna., Dragons whom they easily outplayed. The Hrst severe test of the season came when the Red and Black faced a highly touted eleven from Jamestown, N. Y. They did themselves nobly on that night for they sent the visitors home with a 39-0 lacing. The Fighting Colonels faced Technical High Schoolfs Centaurs in their Hrst City Series battle of the season and used their 'irazzle-dazzle system to advantage, obtaining a hard fought 21-6 de- cision over the Green and White. Shelving this now famous razzle-dazzlei' attack, the Kramer- men used straight football to roll up thirty first downs and crush a small but scrappy Greenville team by 410-7. This set the stage for the biggest pigskin attraction of the year, the Fighting Colonels against the defending City Champions, the Academy Lions. Pre-game dope', gave the Blue and Gold a slight edge, but this was no criterion of the outcome of the encounter, for Strong Vincent, after being held in leash for three fierce quarters suddenly rose like a cyclone and swept downfieldg but Academy held for dear life Upper Photo-Watertown game. Lower Photo-Practice session on the Peninsula. on the 12 yard line, and on the last down a big, bruising tackle named Charlie Schwarz was called back from his position on the line, and place- kicked the ball directly between the uprights to give Vincent a field goal and a richly deserved 3-0 victory over the defending champions. In the next game the Red and Black finally met up with defeat at the hands of Farrell High School's N ightriders, but the downstaters' victory was not fairly earned, as a recent investigation of this school's athletic department by tl1e District Ten Committee showed that several ineligible players were used in the contest, therefore the game was foreited to Vincent. This enabled the Colonels to chalk up seven straight games before tasting honest defeat at the hands of a rugged Campbell Memorial team by 13-0. Had the men of Kramer showed more scoring punch they might have extended their winning steak one more game as they held a 16-3 first down margin over the Campbellites. Catl1edral Prep, which served as a stepping stone for all the other schools in the city, served in the same capacity for the title bound Colonels. Vincent romped to a 32-0 victory over the hapless Ramblers. The following week an inspired band of Meadville Bulldogs caught the Red and Black napping and went back home with a 7-6 upset chalked up in their favor. The game against East High decided whether Vin- cent should have sole claim to the City grid crown or share the honor with Aca- demy and East. In a hectic battle in which nearly everything happened, the Colonels dropped the de- cision to the Sunrisers by 15-9, but still held on to one third of the coveted city title. The score was no indication of the closeness of the game. After holding a 7-2 lead over the Hyde- men for three quarters the Red and Black were over- powered in the last quarter when the Scarlet and Gray scored twice to' run the score to 15-73 but when East's Chimenti intercepted a Vincent aerial and stepped Seventy 1, ' ' 1.. - Row 1: Emling, Tate, Langsdorf, Orlando. Fry, Schwarz, Reinecke. Row 2: Reese, DiTullio, Case, Miller, Williams, Karle, Dunn. behind his own goal line, he was smacked down in short order and the Westsiders annexed two points. Inspired by this fortunate occurrence the men of Kramer let loose with a barrage of passes that brought the spectators onto the field, but Petack, East's great fullback, pulled the game out of the fire for the Warriors when he intercepted one of these passes in the closing seconds of play, thus ending the game and closing the title race in a triple deadlock. Because of their outstanding performance throughout the season, the Kramermen were in- vited to play a Turkey Day engagement at Water- town, N. Y., where, although they lost by 7-0 in the biting cold, they made such a hit with grid fans in this northern city that they were asked to return next year. The long trek north meant that the boys would miss the traditional turkey and fixings with their families, but the fans of Water- town were so hospitable, that they made our players feel very much at home, despite their defeat. This year the team was co-captained by two bruising linemen, Howard Oscar Tate and Fred Ditz Langsdorf. Both these boys did sterling work for the team, and both received All-Scho- lastic honors, as did the captain-elect for next year's team, Bobby Orlando, the greatest foot- ball player ever to work the pivot position since the great Jack Doyle captained Strong Vincent gridders to their first City championship in 1934. It is the desire of the Strong Vincent student body that Orlando should follow the example set for him. Seventy-one The boys whose play this year warranted their receiving varsity letters are: Arthur Ander- son, Douglas Case, J ack Cray, Richard DiTullio, Harrison Dunn, John Emling, Robert Fry, Richard Karle, Fred Langsdorf, Charles Miller, Robert Orlando, Allen Reese, William Reinecke, Charles Schwarz, Howard Tate, Jack Williams, and Ralph Consider, Manager. Despite the fact that only three lettermen will return to bolster next year's squad, the prospects are quite fair, as Coach Kramer is fortunate in having a large amount of reserve material on hand for the first time in many years. The fighting Colonels are known far and wide for their fine appearance on the field of play. This reputation may be attributed to two men- Justin A. McCarthy and John Wallach, faculty equipment managers, who select the equipment and supervise its care. The brains behind the brawn of Vincent football teams is that peerless professor of pig- skinology Harold Sam', Kramer, who each year, assisted by Kenneth Red Cochrane and Bertil C. Gustavson, guides the destinies of Vincent's gridiron greats. This is a small coaching staff to handle one hundred fifty boys, the number that reports, and means that each year the squad must be cut to about seventy-five. From the material left, Sam and Red', coach the varsity, Gus the beginners. Because material is so scarce at Strong Vincent, Sam must work hard for his winning combinations and deserves full credit for his effort. . tx no l Date Opponent S. 6 13 Coshocton .H,o - .o-, - Dec McKean- - Dec Dunkirk - - Dec Aliquippa - Dec Farrell- - - - Dec.

Through the Hoop The 1939 edition of the Strong Vincent Basketball team started the season with five returning lettermen, one of whom was a seasoned veteran of the preceding campaign. Prospects for the season were none too bright in early practice sessions and they appeared even worse when this comparatively green quintet was forced to the limit to eke out a 25-13 victory over an invading team from McKean. On the following Friday the Colonels took over the role of invader when they crossed the state line to trade baskets with a powerful Dunkirk, N. Y. team. The Maroons ran up a commanding lead in the first canto, but the Bed and Black, who were playing to break a jinx, were not to be denied. They soon overhauled the New Yorkers and put the game on ice with a barrage of two-pointers in the final period. This victory changed the season's outlook considerably, for although the Colonels dropped a close decision to Aliquippa the next week, they succeeded in up- setting Farrell, Western Pennsylvanials defending champions on the Steelers' home floor. Again the Red and Black invaded the downstate area and shellacked a strong Sharpsville five to the tune of 25-17. Here good fortune took a leave of absence, for, on a Christmas vacation road trip, they twice met with defeat at the hands of Mansfield and Coshocton. Seventy-lwo f' On their return they decisively beat Academy in the first City Series game of the season. This later proved to be the only Series victory reg- istered over the Golden Lions who Won the rest of their games to capture the City Championship. In their next Series encounter the Colonels dropped a close game to the Warriors of East High. The next time that the Vincent hoopsters raided the Empire State they were not quite so fortunate, as they returned on the short end of a 35-32 score, with Jamestown on the long end. In their next series game the Colonels trod on the Tech Centaurs, and an invading aggregation from Fredonia bowed to them. A surprise invitation from Watertown, N. Y. sent the team to that northern city to tie one and win the other of a thrilled packed, closely fought two game series. A travel worn quintet took the floor against Academy and received a merciless beating from the Thomasmen, who were out for revenge. This was the Hrst of a five game slump before Vincent again tasted victory at the expense of Cathedral Prep, whom they decisively defeated. In their last game of the season the Red and Black lost a close Series game to Tech after the encounter went into an extra period, ending their season with nine victories, one tie, and twelve defeats. Despite the fact that Strong Vincent fared poorly in the championship race, it has made its presence felt in many cities throughout the tri- state area. In their intersectional battles the Fighting Colonels have done well and upheld the honor of their school. This year ten letters were awarded. Their recipients are as follows: Henry Aarnio, Jack Cray, Louis DiBacco, Richard DiTullio, John Emling, Richard Karle, Thomas Martin, Richard Nichols, William Reinecke, and Joseph Dougherty, Manager. The basketball team is coached by Harold I. Sam,' Kramer, Director of Athletics. He gets no assistance in coaching this sport and the student body may be rightfully proud of both him and his teams.

In the interscholastic dual meets the Colonels stroked to another City Championship -the third consecutive time. It was one of the most interesting seasons in Vincent history. As Academy did not want us to repeat our victory of last year, they offered us much competition. Their biggest threat was Brotherson, state backstroke champion, but even then the Lions could not sub- due the well balanced Colonel team. It was always a thrill to watch Ed Shaw and Red Hymers swim the 220. This was always a very close race, but Shaw never failed to come through for the Colonels.

In the out of town dual meets the Colonels also excelled. They defeated University School in Cleveland, East Tech in Cleveland, and Butler. These three schools were the only dual meets that were scheduled for the team, other than the city meets. Every year a large crowd turns out for the City Quadrangular meet. This year, as last year, the Vincent swimmers took the meet by a safe margin, with Academy again coming in second. The Colonel mermen had to place in the District Meet to be eligible for the Regional Meet. This they did in the true Vincent way, and a man from each event was eligible for the Regional Meet. After this meet, Vincent made its way to the State Meet to defend their Championship. They put up a fine battle, but they had to be content with second place behind York. This year's swimming season has been some- thing to be proud of. Next year only one letter- man, Dave Ford, will be returning. Around him ' will be built the team which will have all it can do to duplicate this season's record. Letters were recommended to the following boys by Coach Weibel: Dave Schaper, Jim Arters, Ed Shaw, Max Weaver, John McClenatl1an, Bill Levey, Richard McClenathan, Cleaveland Judd, Dave Ford, and Manager Bill Harbold.

An inexperienced team was to defend the city championship against the veteran teams of Academy, East, and Tech, with Academy offering most serious threat. In the opening game against Academy, the fighting Colonel mermen ran up a total of five points to Academy's two. The next two games were easy victories over East and Tech. The next meet brought Vincent up against Academy again. During the first quarter Academy ran up two points, making things look pretty bad for the Colonels. In the second half Vincent tallied four points, and once more brought the Lions to defeat. With the championship sure, for the remaining two games Coach Weibel experimented with next year's team. Again, under the able leadership of Dave Schaper, the water polo team has won the City Championship, going through the season un- defeated-a record we should all be proud of. Ably assisting Captain Schaper, the boys who also earned letters are: Richard McClenathan, Johnny McClenathan, Jim Arters, Bill Levey, Ed Shaw, Jack Bailey, Dick McGranor, Clem Schwab, and goalie, Jim Turner. All this year's lettermen will graduate, with the exception of Jack Bailey, around whom next year's team will be built.

This team was composed of Bob Orlando, Charles Miller, Tom Martin, and J ack Cray. In the first game in the playoffs at Oil City, the team found themselves up against Mercer, a highly rated team. After a closely fought game we were de- feated fifteen to thirteen. In the second game against the same team we were again defeated fifteen to four. As the system of play in volley ball is the best two out of three games, we were automatically eliminated. Only five teams were represented at the playoffs. They were: Mercer, Franklin, Titusville, Oil City, and Strong Vincent, the only team entered from Erie. Oil City won the playoffs, and consequently the District Ten Championship.

Long after the dis- missal bell has rung, striving young rookies or seasoned veterans can be seen working out in the gym or running through the halls. At Strong Vincent, track is regarded as a major sport and is the main attraction on the Spring athletic program. Each year the Red and Black engages in fewer dual meets and takes part in more meets of the relay type. This year the Colonels com- peted in only four dual meets while the relays which they attended numbered eight. In their first dual meet of the year our boys tasted defeat for the Hrst time in three years. The heart- breaking setback at the hands of the Scarlet and Grey of East High was hard to take, as the out- come of the meet was undetermined until the running of the last event, the mile relay, which East Won. The Sunrisers' margin of victory was one point. In the remaining three duals Vincent breezed through Mansfield, Dunkirk, and Tech in that order. As in previous years, the Fighting Colonels made their presence felt in the various invitational relays. The early season saw them win the blue ribbon at the Pitt Indoor Meet, and then take second berth in The Erie Indoor, sponsored by the American Legion. Then came the greatest schoolboy track and field carnival ever staged in this section of the country, the Mansfield Relays. In this meet, the Red and Black, always a constant threat, were given better than an even chance to top the field, but three and one half points stood between them and the crown, while the fourth TRACK SQUAD-Row 1: McLucas, DiNittis, Miller, C., Matters, Rocco, Callista, Miller, R., Carlson, Bonnell, Fabrizio.

At the Fourth Annual Alliance Relays in Cambridge Springs, Vincent finished third to East and Academy. On the same day a part of the Colonel squad thrilled the crowd at tl1e Salem Night Relays, when our four mile relay team of Kotz, Moore, Martin, and Hunter cracked the meet record in that event by 57.1 seconds when they turned in the almost unbelievable time of 18 minutes, 54.4 seconds. The Blue and Gold of Academy still flies from atop the District Ten flagpole, and Strong Vincent had to be satisfied with second place in the District Meet, but it was the Red and Black scantyclads who made the best showing of the Erie schools at the State Meet although they failed to retain the State Championship which they.captured last year. The all important meet on the schedule which served as a grand finale to a splendid season, was the City Meet. The Fighting Colonels, defending their City Champion- ship, placed second to the greatest and most well balanced track machine ever to perform under the Scarlet and Gray banner of East High. School. The meet itself was a wonderful show and the manner in which records were de- molished almost outshone the guest performer of the evening, Jesse Owens, the famous Buckeye Bullet, who exhibited his skill in the broad jump, the hurdles, and the dashes. Captain Jimmy Callista, who led this year's team, is without a doubt the greatest track man ever to perform for Strong Vincent. An ace dash man, Callista holds records in the 100, 220, and 440 yard dashes. Despite the fact that he severely injured his ankle in a skat- ing mishap last winter, his record for the season is surprisingly fine. This year Jim received national recognition in the form of a place on the National Scholastic All-American Track Team. This is the first time that an honor of this kind has come to an Erie athlete. Probably the highest contributing factor to his being chosen is the State record which he holds in the 440 yard dash. Last year in the State Meet he was clocked for this distance in the amazing time of 49.1 seconds. Shot Put: Orlando. Relay: Carlson, Rocco. Discus: Behnke. Javelin: Smith. Seventy-e ight I Teamwork and self-sacrifice are seldom attributed to the track, as the work is of an individual nature, but Strong Vincent's ace distance men, Ollie Hunter and Clem Martin, figured in a reversal of this theory when they threw personal glory to the four winds and consistently tied for first place in the mile event. What a sterling example of good sportsmanship! It is only fitting that when they return to us next year that to- gether they lead the team to further honor and glory. The letter men have elected them co-captains. Hunter and Martin have also taken part in a post season race at Harrisburg. The distance was four miles. They tied for first place, as usual, and were presented with the trophy by the Flying Kansan, Glenn Cunningham. For their work during the past year the following boys re- ceived varsity letters: James Callista, Robert Carlson, Richard Estabrook, James Gallagher, Carl Gustavson, Oliver Hunter, Vernard Kotz, Donald Moore, Roman Miller, Clement Martin, Robert Orlando, Robert Petrucelli, Eugene Rocco, Linden Smith, Harry Sandusky, and Armand Santone, Manager. With only five lettermen returning, the prospects for the coming year do not look too bright, but there are many re- serves anxious to fill the shoes of those who have given their best and moved on. They have grown in mind and body and are ready to move up in order to make room for more rookies who may in turn grow to take their places. Much of the credit for the success of' the team goes to a flaming haired dynamo named Kenneth Cochrane, better known as Red, In his five year career as maestro of the Vincent cinder-pounders Red,' has brought home one state and two city championships. Not only is he a splendid coach but also a good showman. He is responsible for the fine way in which the District and City Meets are run off. May his life be long and his teams be champions . . .

Ace after ace, point after point, set after set, game after game-that is the way the '38 tennis schedule came out for the Vincent '4Netters.', Not only did the team go through the season undefeated, but they did it by winning four of the matches by seven straight sets. All the inter-scholastic com- petition proved to be no match for the Colonels, for they lost only one set during the season. Coach Humphrey recommended letters to four members of the team: Jerry Randall, Robert James, David Kling, and John Britton. If you happen to pass a golf course in the summer, you probably will see a group of men knocking a little ball around. lt seems like a silly game to some, but it is another sport that the Colonels excel in, and there was a fine turnout for last year's team. The tryouts for the team were played at Glenwood in April, and from the results of these tryouts a fine team was organized. In the inter-scholastic competition, Vincent played each school twice. The Colonels won every match, except the two games against the strong Academy combine. They did a fine job of playing a serious game last season. Mr. Shenck, coach of the team, recommended letters to the following boys: John Britton, Wm. Moorehouse, Glenn Milloy, and Dave Schaper. After a most successful spring season, the team was assured of a good chance in the Fall inter-scholastic tournaments, distinct from the regular spring varsity season. Although we had defeated Academy seven to nothing in the spring matches, graduation had weakened our team, and Academy won this tournament. However, the Colonels went into the finals in both the singles and doubles. In the doubles Jack Cray and Dave Kling offered strong competition, but not quite enough. The singles finals between Lopes of Academy and Dave Kling was the most exciting match. Lopes took the necessary three out of the five sets, and gave our life long rivals the Inter- scholastic Championship. TENNIS AND GOLF-Top: Kling. Cray. Center: James.

Eighty 1 , Boys' Intramurals Tennis After the students have settled down from the hustle and bustle of starting to school again, the Fall Tennis Tournament is staged. This year, as in previous years, the tournament was under the supervision of Mr. Humphrey, assisted by the student manager, Robert Carlson. Any boy in school is eligible to enter the competition, but so far honors have been invari- ably carried off by some member of the tennis team, and this year was no exception to the rule. This fact is a constant .challenge to hopeful aspirants who covet the school championship. Because a smaller number of boys entered the contests this year than last, the doubles division of the tournament was dropped and the tourna- ment developed into an intense contest of in- dividuals. In the eliminations, Dave Kling, who appears to be the star and leader of next year's team breezed through the upper bracket in good form, while Guido DiLoreto earned the right to play in the finals via the lower route. Kling, who was much more experienced, easily defeated the challenger, who despite his loss has labeled himself as a promising candidate for the team. This tennis tournament does much to bring out good material for the team and is an outstand- ing factor in Strong Vincent's fine net combines. With the addition of a Fall Inter-scholas tic Tourna- ment as well as the regular Varsity Spring Schedule our tennis enthusiasts, only complaint is lack of courts. There is surely no lack of op- portunity. Indoor Olympics Every year before the track team leaves the school halls to invade the outdoors for practice, a large number of track events are run off. These competitions are called the Indoor Olympics. Among the events staged are: 50 yard dash, one, three, and six laps, 80 yard low hurdles, 45 yard high hurdles, broad jump, high jumpg pole vaultg shot putg rope climbg and the two, twelve, and twenty-four lap relays. The boys who take hrst places in these events are honored by having their names placed on a plaque in the team room. Should a boy establish a new record in any of these events his name is placed on the larger plaque hung in the Boys, Gym. Eighty-one TENNIS: Runner-up DiLoreto congratulates Kling winner.

Theselcontests are very advantageous to Coach Cochrane as he can sound out material for the coming season, and it is also good for the boys, for it offers them their first crack at competitive play. Experience in this department means a great deal both on the field and on the track. The large plaques in the Boys' Gym are a constant challenge to participants in the lndoor Olympics to better the record posted, and for the individual to see his own name go up as a new record holder. Despite the fact that the times posted are unusually fast, each year sees a num- ber of them fall and new champions crowned. 1 Boys who broke records this year and whose names now grace the plaques are as follows: Hunter, three laps, 2:03.8g six laps, 4:33, Esta- brook, 45 yard high hurdles, 5.8 seconds, Orlando, broad jump, 19'LL g shot put, 47'2 . Two relay records were also broken. They were the twelve lap relay team of Hunter, Martin, Moore, and Kanash, 8:38g and the twenty four lap relay, consisting of the same boys except Kanash, who was replaced by Pratt. Their time was 19:12. Other boys who placed first in events but who failed to smash any record are Miller and Guth, 50 yard dash, Pizzo, one lap, Estabrook, 80 yard low hurdles, high jump, Haygor, high jump, Lundmark, pole vault, DiNittis, rope climb, and Pizzo, Estabrook, Miller and Guth, two lap relay. Basketball The eighth annual Home Boom Basketball Tournament got under way early in January with Home Room 126 crashing off to a good lead in the Class A tournament, which consisted of Seniors and Juniors, while Home Room 215 took the lead in the B Class, the race among the Sophomore and Freshman Home Rooms, and the 8-2's paced the Junior High Tournament, known as Class C. As the series settled down after a terrific start the defending champions, Home Boom 118, began to move up on the fast driving Bour- quinites and in the deciding game of the Class A competition the Men of Humphrey downed the Frenchmen in a closely fought, exciting game. ln the meantime the boys from 215 held to their lead all through the tournament to take the Class B toga. The only team to offer the Historians any trouble was the quint from 223. The 8-2's lost their early lead to the 8-1's from Library C and then lost to the Galinskymen in the final and deciding contest in the C division. ln the final playoffs between Classes A and B, the Draftsmen, defending champions, faced the Historians from 215, who were recognized as out- standing contenders for the title. In a hotly E ighty-two 1. contested game in which the Historians pushed the 118 Draftsmen hard through four quarters, the defenders of ll8's glory for the second con- secutive year provided a worthy resting place for the Palace Hardware Trophy awarded the champions. ln the assembly program medals were pre- sented to the winners in each division and the trophy was presented to the champions, who then turned it over to their Ilome Room teacher, Mr. A. IC. Humphrey, who had been their inspiration and guide throughout the tournament. With our varsity teams suffering from lack of school teams in the J unior High Schools, tl1e intra- mural games serve as a proving ground for younger boys who would be unable to keep their places on tl1e Yarsity Squad. Boxing and Wrestling In the Spring a young man's fancy lightly 'turns to thoughts of--love? No-Boxing gloves and strangle holds? Yes, a thousand times Yes. Boxing and wrestling are still in their infancy at Vincent, where they are still in the intramural stage, but enthusiasm is growing rapidly and this tournament has a large and enthusiastic following. Every year when the call for candidates is issued a goodly number of boys come out and after two weeks training by Coach lied Cochrane the boys are ready to put on the gloves and toss punches or go out barehanded and toss opponents. Since all weights wear the same size gloves, which are the fourteen ounce type, there is slight danger of serious injury. It is the sincere wish of the contestants that some day in the near future these sports will be graduated from the intramural class to a level with other varsity sports. This year's boxing champions are as follows: bantamweight, Lewis, lightweight., Wright: mid- dleweight, Troncone, lightheavy, Hoeschg heavy- weight Boss. I t is interesting to note that all the champions are new, as none of defending cham- pions were able to do a repeat performance. After the dust had settled on the mats we saw the fol- lowing boys crowned wrestling champions: Dun- ham, 95 lbs., Taylor, H5 lbs., Marks, 135 lbs., Sweny, M5 lbs., and Fry, 165 lbs. ln the wrest- ling struggle only two champions retained their titlesKDunham and Sweny. These sports are instrumental in developing a boy's coordination between mind and muscle. Champions in all events were awarded athletic shirts signifying their right to their respective championships. Eighty-three BOXINII-Winners: Ross, lioesch, Troncone, VVright, Lewis. WRESTLING-Winrxers: Marks, Sweny, Fry, Taylor. DiLoreto, Dunham, Some lively action in the Boxing and VVrestling tournament. Girls' Intramurals Basketball For the girls, basketball is usually the out- standing sport. It comes in the middle of the school year and lasts from ten to twelve weeks, depending upon the number of teams competing. Each team consists of six girls divided according to their grade in school. The girls, unlike the boys, use three court rules, which means six players to a team. Since every game is timed, each player must be constantly alert, as anything may happen. To be basketball champions at Strong Vincent is indeed an achievement and comes only after much skill and hard work. The champions of this year's league were an eleven-two and a seven-two team. Mushball Corresponding to the boys' baseball is the game of mushball which the girls play each Spring. Each team is made up of nine girls who battle it out against each other two days a week after school. Two students usually umpire each game, one calling the balls and strikes, and the other being base umpire. The rules are similar to those observed in indoor baseball, but the ball used is larger and softer. Each game consists of three innings. Because this sport is so fast, it requires much skill and very quick thinking. The balls come where they are least expected. Onlookers become as excited as the regular players when a ball is not caught immediately. When the weather permits, the girls play their games on our athletic iield. Volleyball One of the favorite sports among the girls is volleyball. Any girl may play this enjoyable game during the tournament period in the Fall. A team is usually composed of from four to seven girls, all the same grade. lt is the responsibility of each girl to see that the ball does not fall on her side of the net. This makes the game exciting and the action fast. The first team to have twelve points wins the game and the hrst team to have two games is considered that day's winner. A team may only make a point when it is serving. Because of this, a game may go on indefinitely with no one making any score. Eligibility into the Letter Club or Junior Aces belongs to any girl on the winning team who has played loyally each day. This year a team from the ten-two class was crowned champions. Eighty-four Archery Enthusiasm for archery has risen greatly since a Trick Archer spoke to us at an Assembly. For those girls who wish to improve their aim or be- come versed in the lndians' means of securing food and waging war, one night each week, weather permitting, is spent in learning and practising fundamentals of archery. A large target is placed up on the athletic field at which six girls may aim, in turn. To be an adept archer, a girl must have grace and a good aim. She should also have good posture' and be steady. The latter is a very important factor in obtaining high scores. The girls who were just starting archery had a small contest among themselves with the first girl to make a bull's eye receiving a milk shake. It was several weeks before the prize was claimed. Swimming Although the girls no longer compete in inter- scholastic meets, Vincent still has much after school swimming activity. Many girls, whether they are good swimmers or not, come out for swimming every Thursday afternoon. Intra- mural meets for all grades are sometimes held. At most of the practices, the girls are taught how to improve their swimming. Under the very efficient direction of Miss Weinheimer all who are swimmers or can take care of themselves in the water, practice such things as take-offs, kicking and diving. The very best swimmers, who came regularly each week, were the ones chosen to be in the Carnival pool show. The only other time that the girls swam before outsiders, was at a boys' swimming meet, when some of the individual championships were decided. Life Saving Every year around Easter time a class is conducted for those who wish to learn the funda- mentals of life saving. The class meets each Thursday after school for about ten weeks. After each girl has passed her swimming test, the group is instructed in the different holds and how to break them. The prospective life savers work by couples, but each girl must master the approaches, the carries, and the means of breaking any hold the victim may use. At the conclusion of the course, the girls are not only ready to save their fellows, but they have aided in developing healthy strong bodies. These girls are now capable of handling themselves in the Water and in cases of emergency could perhaps save someone's life. Eighty-five - , gL,, GIRLS, INTRAMURALS: Archery, Swimming, Life Saving. JUNIOR ACES-Row 1: Pifer, Peterson, White, Hugh- son, Painter. Row 2: Caulcy, Larson, Sccman, Wright. TENNIS: Winner Gillespie, runner-up Holland. RING TENNIS: Play-oll' in the tournament. Junior Aces The Junior Aces, a recently organized club, is to the junior high girls who are interested in after school sports, what the Girls' Letter Club is to the senior high girls. To be eligible for mem- bership into this Club, a girl must have been a member of a championship team in any one sport. It is also compulsory that she be present every time her team is scheduled to play. If she meets these requirements, she may then be voted in by the old members of the Club. lf they then go through with the prescribed initiation, they are full-fledged members. The qualified new girls are usually admitted at the completion of each league. As the name suggests, only students in the seventh, eighth, and ninth grades belong to this organization. Two girls from the Girls' Letter Club have been elected sponsors to help in start- ing this Club. Tennis Each Spring, and often in the Fall, a girls' tennis tournament is held. The contestants play at their convenience but within a definite time limit. The winner of each pair each evening next meets another winner, while the losers are auto- matically eliminated for that season. The winner must have taken two out of three sets. All games are played on the tennis courts belonging to our school. The grade to which you belong in school plays no part in this tournament since the players compete only as individuals. The final winner of the Spring from among thirty participants was Betty Gillespie who is making a name for herself in the junior division of the city tournaments. Those girls who are participating are per- mitted to sometimes even play off their games during their gym periodfprovided their class work is satisfactory to Miss Weinheimer. Ring Tennis Ring Tennis, a game similar to volleyball, was enjoyed by more girls than any other sport this year. In this game the players use a white rubber ring in place of the volleyball, but the rules governing the game are practically identical. When one team has earned twelve points, both teams change courts and start over. This season twenty-nine senior teams and several junior teams battled it out for first place. There were only four girls on most teams, which meant that each girl had to be on the job to do her part. Because only eight or ten games are played each evening and each senior high team played twenty-eight games, the ring-tennis league continued for several months. New girls on a ten-one team distinguished themselves as cham- pions in this sport last season. Eighty-s ia: 4d ?

Through planning and organizing their different activities, they also develop initiative, resourcefulness and executive ability. They gain a better knowl- edge of human nature and acquire the technique of getting along with their as- sociates. In the elfort to maintain a har- monious working unit, they come to know the meaning of social adjustment, and how to give and take in the game of life.

Letters to be voted upon, committees to be appointed, and recommendations to be ap- proved or disapproved by the young legislators. There are hundreds of details to be looked after by this busy organization representing students and the faculty. A Student Council is the distinguishing mark between an old-fashioned school and a modern one. A democratic body such as this must be efficient, and our Council is no exception to this rule. lt is the duty of Council to support many annual projects, and it is the duty of the ofticers to direct the management of these affairs. The Eighty-nine Messrs. Shanor, Armagost Carnival, our frolic, is successfully presented by committees appointed by Council. The musical comedy'-always a Hcolossal production -is under the supervision of Student Council and Mr. and Mrs. Lee Winter. The second vice-president is also the student manager of the Hall Monitors. Council also undertakes the added responsi- bility of planning interesting assembly programs for the entire school made up of outside talent. This year especially, has the student body found out just what a good idea this is. An archer, an authority on architecture, a feminine member of the United States Olympic Team, and a concert pianist are only a few of the speakers who have been presented to entertain and delight us.

We receive our Spokesman. Anxiously, we look through the book, and at once realize what a dear possession it is. As years go by and we leaf through the Spokesman, our friends' personalities will again be revivedg the Carnival, football games, and A Cappella will once more entertain us with memories and sweet remembrances. It is a picture story of our school year. From the month of September until the minule the Spokesman is delivered to you, the Business Department, under the direction of Miss Esler, is busy at work. In the Autumn, it launches a publicity and sales campaign, during the course of the year collects installments, and in June delivers the book. All this means many records carefully kept. In the meantime the Photography Department, under the supervision of Mr. Humphrey, covers all the school activities. When- ever anything exciting, interesting, and unusual happens, the Spokesman camera could be seen flashingAtaking pictures of our school life. Dur- ing this time, plans for the book are being laid out by the Editorial Board with the help of Mr. Humphrey and Miss Wilson. Much time and work is required for this planning. Long after school is dismissed, this group could be seen pondering over arithmetical figures and squares. Under the skilled guidance of Miss Pearce, the Art Department sketches cartoons, draws division pages, and creates an attractive design for the cover. The task of the Literary Department, directed by Miss Wilson, is to sum up briefly, yet completely, the yearly program of organizations and clubs. This summary adds to the life and understanding of each picture and activity. livery year the members of the Spokesman Board strive to improve the book. Our work is completed. We hope we have reached our goal. Therefore, to the Spokesman Board of 1940, we pass the torch. May you enjoy carrying it forward just as we did.

Armagost, Coon, Anderson 1939 and the National Honor Society is one year older. Eleven years ago the school felt the need of an organization which would recognize outstanding, all around, individual effort and a chapter of the National Honor Society was formedg the first to be chartered in Erie. Twice a year an eligibility list is submitted to tl1e faculty. They in turn recommend to the Senate, students whom they feel are worthy of reward for meritorious academic achievement, above average character, noticeable leadership, and conscientious service. Those chosen from the juniors must have an average of at least ninety per cent, and the seniors' averages must be over eighty-five per cent. Only five per cent of the eleven-two class, ten per cent of the twelve-one class, and fifteen per cent of the entire graduating class may have been chosen, and this quota is N i nety-one rarely filled. This is an indication of the strict limitation and consequent high quality of mem- bership. The collegiate custom of tapping is em- ployed at the formal induction ceremony which takes place at a general assembly twice a year. Members of the Society go into the audience, tap', those to be honored, and conduct them to the platform for formal presentation. At this ceremony the ideals and qualifications for mem- bership are stated by members of the Society. Approximately two weeks following the induction service an informal party is held for members only. The initiation, which is purely for fun, takes place at this time. An honorary, rather than primarily an activity group, they exemplify in other school activities the qualifications that made them eligible for membership. Every year the Society tries to do something to help in bettering Vincent. This year they are working with a special com- mittee from the Student Council to establish a Point System, which when finished will help the Honor Society Senate in making their choice of members.

Service with a Smile lf you can'L sing a note and if you are not the coach's dream, how can you serve? Of course you want to be of some use to your school other than demonstrating methods of complete relaxa- tion six periods a day, so why not be a monitor? A monitor? Oh, that is a very busy student who gives one period daily to helping the faculty or office staff with their extra chores. Every Vincent student should qualify for the position because the requirements are dependability, readiness, cheer- fulness, and a fair scholastic standing. The position holds much responsibility and must be maintained with courtesy. You are chosen by Miss Ellen Connell and the second vice president of council. So when you feel ready to serve your school apply for the job and stop worrying about your lack of other abilities. One very evident type of monitor is the hall monitor. It is his duty to save the school's electric bill by turning out all unnecessary lights, and to keep the halls clear of wandering students. This latter duty is a little difficult when the wanderer is your very best friend. The students as a whole, however, are very cooperative be- cause this system really is a part of the student government of which we are so proud. These hall monitors sit at each corner of the building and are responsible for a certain section of the hall. They are supervised by a head monitor on each floor. Your idea of a monitor by this time may be as an officious little busy body, but this is not at all the case for the students are proud of this honor and carry out their jobs with diplomacy. The position, of course, is not entirely pleasure for we have many unwelcome visitors who will not comply with requests to leave, and often the halls are draf ty, but as a whole the students clamor for the honor and are more than willing to undergo these little hardships. Another type of monitoring which entails more work is the office monitor. She is ready to dash 'fat the drop of an admitw to any part of the building. When the phone rings she is ready to answer it with the correct information. Carrying notices is her speciality and she does it with despatch. No matter what the period, if you see an efhcient young girl hurrying about the hall with a handful of papers you may be sure she is an office monitor. These girls are often commercial students because the work helps them in this N inely-two M W, ,M, training, and secretarial work is sometimes re- quired in the office. Whatever their course, however, they must be quick and efficient. Monitors of this type are indispensable to the principals in their every task. On to the library. At the door another young girl fthe place is overrun with themb stands ready to demand an admit. If we are unfortunate enough to be unable to produce one she has the power to send us back to the study hall to contemplate our sins until we can procure one. She is the library monitor. Her other duties consist in checking out books, receiving returned ones, and helping students to find any desired reading material. When Miss Wilson leaves the room the monitor sits behind the desk, taps her pencil officially, and succeeds in maintaining order and quiet. During the first period she becomes competition for the office girls in hall dashing for she returns the admits of the previous day to their respective HALL MONITORS-Row 1: Sherk, Robinson, Bur- roughs, Coburn, Weber, Mazzocco, Oherkircher, Eastman, Joyce.

Her work is enjoyable and she often finds time to do her homework during the period. The gym monitor has an entirely different type of work which calls for fairness and intel- ligence because she is often required to referee games in the gym. Naturally she must know all the rules of the game and be quick to notice every false play. She must understand the workings of the gym class because at any time she may be called upon to direct the work for the entire period when Miss Weinheimer is called away. On swimming days there are suits to be distributed to the girls and after every period the showers must be turned on. 6'Be prepared, is a motto as applicable to the gym monitor as to the Boy Scouts who claim it.

N ineiy-three ' x Hi-Y on the March President - - Claire Merritt Vice President - John Stauffer Treasurer - - Jack Vincent Secretary K Richard Nichols Adriser ..h, Mr. Weibel To boys in their formative years, good companionship is a very important requirement in order to develop into honest and law-abiding citizens. Many good boys, by associating with the wrong type of people, get in trouble over some dishonorable action which they later regret. The Hi-Y, which brings the boys together by weekly meetings at the 'fY,,' attempts to solve this very serious problem. At these meetings, the boys gain many worth-while friends whom they did not know before they became members of the Hi-Y. Speakers wl1o talk on subjects interesting to boys, such as Larry Danbom's talk on football, are heard. After the more serious part of the meet- ings, group singing, ping pong, or swimming is enjoyed by the group. With their Hi-Y cards the boys are entitled to some of the NYM activities. In addition to the weekly meetings held by each high school, a joint meeting is held every month. The joint meetings had for speakers such men as Mayor Charles Barber and Howard Pierce Davis, a well-known news commentator who spoke on affairs in Europe. These meetings were thoroughly enjoyed by all who attended them and they tended to break down prejudices between students of the different high schools.

March, about fifteen Hi-Y members from each high school met with members of the Girl Re- serves. At the meetings problems of youth were discussed. Among the speakers were Lloyd Mahoney, head of Erie Pitt Center, and Reverend Ralph Mould. At the beginning of both semesters, names of those who wished to become members were taken. These were carefully checked by the active body, and only those applicants who were thought to possess initiative, ability, and enthusiasm were accepted. Thus we see that it is a distinct honor to become a member of tl1e Hi-Y. Mistakes are bound to be made and in tl1e Hi-Y, as in all organizations, there are those wl1o are not worthy of being members. But nevertheless, the majority of the boys are an honor to the group. If walking through the halls one Fall day, thickly-rouged boys with rolled up pants were seen, there was no need for alarm. These boys were only participating in the Hi-Y initiation. After this informal initiation, the new members were formally inducted in a solemn ceremony where they pledged themselves to uphold the principals of the Hi-Y. With their motto, I resolve to do all within my power to create, maintain, and extend through- out my school and community, high standards of Christianity, to guide it, the Strong Vincent Hi-Y has developed into one of the school's outstanding organizations. N inely-four Reaching for the Best President - - , Roberta Maxwell Vice President - - Margaret Louise White Vice President - , Doris Coburn Secretary - - - Margaret Lipsett Treasurer .,.. Ann Mclfglroy Advisers - Misses Mercer, Wilson, Hearn The scene is a large room at the Y. W. C. A. lt is rather dark, as it is lighted only by the candle which each girl, standing in the triangle, holds. This is the Induction Ceremony of the Girl Reserves which is so impressive that the memory of this solemn occasion lingers throughout the entire period of membership of each girl taking part. Without a doubt, tl1e Girl Reserves has the largest membership of any organization in Strong Yincent. Practically the first club a girl hears about when she enters tenth grade is the Girl Reserves, so she joins almost immediately. Clubs as a part of l1er school life, are more or less, a new experience to her, and it is particularly fitting that sl1e become a Girl Reserve first. Through this fine organization the girls learn to give their services for many worth while pur- poses. They sell tags for the Save an Eye Campaign, giving freely of their time. Shortly after this, they take part in the Anti-Tuberculosis Society's sale of Christmas Seals. There is a deep satisfaction to be gained through serving two such line charitable drives. An entertainment, in which the girls took part as is customary, was presented at the Old Ladies' Home. You may be sure, however, that the members of this club are not Hall-work-and-no-play girls,', for tl1ere are many social activities associated with the club. A Christmas tea for the mothers and daughters was held at the Y. W. C. A., and was one of the most successful activities. Another important event was the dance annually sponsored by the Tri-Hi, which was held at the Masonic Temple. An ice-skating party, a novelty this year, was held at the Peninsula. Mrs. F. E. Bowser reviewed Anne Lindbergh's outstanding book, 6'Listenl The Wind at one of the December meetings. Dr. Louise Brecht gave an interesting talk to a large audience in the library, her talk followed a tea. An important part of the organization is the Ring group which is made up of girls who have belonged to the Girl Reserves for over a year. lf these girls pass in several points laid down by the Y advisers they may earn a Girl Reserve ring.

The Virgilians Consuls - George Sisson Richard Amthor Scriba Elaine Cleveland Adviser N.., Miss Mercer Roman Vergil, thou that singest- taking their inspiration and the name 'of their club from the most famous of the Roman poets, our advanced Latin students have a club whose aim is to stimu- late and foster interest in Roman times, customs, and institutions. Besides the above named officers there are three aediles who are chosen each month by the consul in charge. It is their duty to provide interesting programs. These programs consist of plays or mythological pantomines, slides of ancient and modern Rome, book reviews, games, and the learning and singing of Latin songs. The club as a whole reads descriptions of ancient Rome, or studies the Roman ideals and customs. Some- times reports are presented on the ancient poets and their poems or on other famous men. The programs vary greatly from year to year depend- ing upon the ingenuity and interest of the group. The Vergil club has an interesting adviser in the person of Miss Mercer, who guides 'them well in their search for further knowledge about the Roman people. Her friendly counsel and quiet humor has done much to help the club function smoothly and retain the interest of its members.

The students enjoy the club for it furnishes them an opportunity to learn more about the Roman background than the time in class affords and also develops an appreciation of the ancient art and literature along with a friendly interest that encourages furthering of knowledge of Latin. The plays and skits which are given, afford a chance to try out dramatic ability and at the same time strengthens and corrects pronunciation of the language. The club develops leadership and a sense of responsibility on the pupils, part for they have almost complete charge of their club. N ineiy-six 5 . Vive La France President ,M,.

In the monthly meetings the members are carried far away to Britanny or perhaps Paris, where they see, by means of colored slides, the ancient buildings or brilliant costumes of the natives. They travel from palace to cathedral studying the intricate architecture and listening to the legends of each.

They stand once again at the bier of the Little Corporal, recalling the glory that once was France or contemplate the tragic death of Marie Antoinette, the vain and frivolous, as they view the wonders of the Hall of Mirrors in the palace of Versailles, that crowning extravagance of a prodigal reign. The students have an infinite interest in tl1e subject and prove it by spending their time after school listening to the lore of this old country. Their meetings are supervised by either of the two advisers, Miss Bourquin or Miss Evans. In no other way could the students be brought into sucl1 close contact with the language than through a study of the people who speak it. Thus is this club bringing French in a broader sense to all its students. Abroad at Home President - - Dante Di Franco Vice President - Carmella Bongiorno Secretary - - Ruth Graziano Treasurer - - Charles Moresco Faculty Adviser - Miss Galbo When Keats wrote these lines, Much have I traveled in the realms of gold, he spoke the minds of millions of persons who travel through many countries, and live in many centuries with the aid of books. The students of the Italian Club have taken this poem seriously by touring Italy, study- ing her art and literature, and seeing her famous operas, by means of scrap-books which they made at their meetings. The Italian Club is divided into four groups each of which worked on a different project that Went for the completion of the scrap-book. The Italian 1 and 2 classes completed the city projects. The members of this group collected and arranged vivid pictures and descriptions of the important cities in Italy. Fascinating trips can be taken to Rome, Florence, Venice and many other large cities by glancing through this scrap-book. The Italian 3 and 4 group worked on a miscellaneous scrap-book comprised of common objects as an animal, art, architecture, a child, a flower, a fruit, a holiday Cboth Italian and Americanj, science, a sport, and a Word Cltalian words adapted by Websterj. Pictures and descriptive compositions give interesting details and facts concerning the thriving condition of these objects in an Italian environment. Other students in the group selected and classified masterpieces of Ptaffaello, Da Vinci, and Michaelangelo, including a brief anecdote in the life of each painter. The Italian 5 group gathered information on famous Italian womeng a short story tells of their service to their country and to the world. This group, also arranged the opera project. The story of seven of the most famous Italian operas namely, Aida, ll Trovatore, La Traviata, La Boheme, La Tosca, Pagliacce, and La Cavalleria Rusticana was condensed so that each can be easily read. Each story is vividly pictured by means of beauti- ful scenes, and portraits of famous singers in costume. The Italian 6 group worked on a literature project. This was the most difficult as students had to interpret poems and passages in Italian literature and find pictures to depict each passage. Thus by assimilating and putting this material together in a scrap-book, the Italian Club was able to tour Italy. ITALIAN CLUB-Row 1: Isue, Valentine, Tromboli, Graziano, DiFranco, Bcvilacqua.

German without the Swastika President ...a Gerard Boyd Vice President , - Elmer Lawrence Secretary , Elda Mae Myers Faculty Adviser O - - Miss Kohout HI joined the German club because I thought it would help me to better appreciate the language, the people, and the customs of Germanyf' That is what one student said when this question was put to him Why did you join the German Club? Another student said he joined this organization because he thought it would help him to speak the language better. These are both excellent reasons, and they are the ones students most often offer when they are asked why they joined a language club. At the present time, it is more important than ever before to understand the people of nations other than our own. Today, when we are criti- cizing some nations rather harshly, it is necessary to gain an insight into the people themselves, in order to keep a sane point of view when we are judging that country. That is why a language club, such as our own German Club, may play an important part in helping students to understand their friends from across the ocean. Once a month, the German Club of Strong Ninety-nine A Vincent meets for discussion or entertainment under the supervision of Miss Kohout. The dis- cussion will cover German topics-the people, current events, customs, and the language of Germany. The entertainment may consist of short plays, songs sung in German, colored slides, or talks. A victrola purchased last year with the monthly dues, helps brighteh the meetings with musical selections. One of the outstanding features of the organi- zation is the sponsoring of correspondence which bridges the Atlantic Ocean. This brings young America and young Germany in closer alliance, as far as the students of Strong Vincent High School are concerned. It is great fun to receive letters and postal cards, and perhaps puzzle out the script and construction of the sentences. This cor- respondence helps to foster the deep interest in German ways and German people. If a pupil belongs to the German Club, you may be sure that he is an excellent student, for there are strict requirements for membership. Dues are collected at lhe meetings each month. The money is used to finance all the social activities of the club, and to buy anything the members may feel they need to add to the interest of their meetings. Take a Letter Please President - Eileen Kottmyer Vice President i Doris Schutte Secretary - Helene O'Donnel Treasurer i Bertha Elser Faculty Adviser - Miss Forsberg Is getting down to business ever enjoyable? It is when the Commercial Club undertakes the task for it combines business with pleasure. A student having taken one year of typing and short- hand may become a member of the Commercial Club. With a membership of approximately one hundred students, this club has grown to be one of the largest organizations at Strong Vincent. The purpose of the club is to acquaint its members with practical office information and office etiquette. The club stresses the importance of ,a pleasant personality, a neat appearance, a cheer- ful disposition, and initiative to go ahead. Ability to contact people plays a significant part in the life of a secretary. All these points are presented to the students by means of skits, discussions and recitations. Gaining experience in such a way is indeed very agreeable! 1 At all the meetings of the Commercial Club, entertaining yet instructive programs were pre- sented. The Social Committee planned the parties and teas. A Christmas party was held in the Music Boom where the members sang, gave recitations, and received gifts from Santa Claus. Delightful skits were presented that were as beneficial as they were amusing. In Wanted: A Secretary, a stenographer was shown the proper methods of applying for a position. The good and bad points were brought out in the course of the skit. The duties and qualities of a secretary were discussed. Spelling plays an important part in the business world, but the members of the club turned the boresome task of learning to spell into a pleasant game. A blonde versus brunettew spell- ing bee was held at one of the meetings, with the result that the blondes won. Answering the tele- phone is another of the secretary's duties. The importance of telephone etiquette was explained and enacted. The skits and programs W61'E skillfully di- rected and conducted by Miss Forsberg with the aid of the Program Committee. Other permanent committees which help make this a successful organization are the Auditorium, Membership, Publicity, Educational and the Magazine Sub- scription. The Executive Board, composed of the ofheers of the club and the chairmen of each stand- ing committee, designates the time and place of each meeting. Election of officers takes place every Fall when the club is reorganized, but in the case of an officer graduating in mid-year, the President appoints someone to fill in the vacancy.

Will this school provide the proper course for you, the one best fitted to be a real aid in the realization of your ambitions? Are you quite sure about this? Or have you possibly allowed some sentiment, or a wish to be in a certain locality, or even an un- recognized desire to attend some school where an admired friend has graduated, to influence you too much? These are the big, important ques- tions that confront the college-bound student. In selecting the right answers you will launch your ship of life on a favorable course. It is to help you in answering these vitally important questions that our College Club has been formed. Numerous aids have been planned by the Club for your especial benefit. Representa- tives from highly recommended colleges are in- vited to come to Erie to speak before the group. One hundred one They bring with them something of the spirit and Hatmospherei' of their school. Club members may ask questions, gain invaluable information direct from these representatives. Our school also aids by keeping files of college catalogues and year hooks. The club committee on correspondence keeps in close touch with the most desirable schools everywhere. The program committee arranges for meetings, talks, special functions. Publicity and social committees also are active. The College Entrance Committee takes you to the college gates, providing you with a passport to many little advantages you would otherwise miss, or have to slowly discover for yourself. Under the efficient supervision of Miss Turner and Mr. Dean, the College Club meets monthly to discuss the problems of the high school student whose college days, that vital period of life, are just ahead. Many a student from this school, in later days in college, will look back with thankful gaze on his or her membership in the College Club, realizing then what a great help it was in charting the course.

The club supplies a two fold program, providing pleasure and practical experience. This year the question debated was: Resolved that the United States should enter into an alliance with England. The Vincent club is a member of the Forensic League and is in the division that includes North East, Girard, Lawrence Park, and Erie East.

They have time to finish after school the things they were not able to finish in class. Here they learn to make attractive furnishings for their own rooms.

One hundred two Thinkers and Doers Recognition for being outstanding not only in the athletic activities of the school but also in the scholastic pursuits, is amply awarded to the Strong Vincent athlete by membership into the National Athletic Honor Society. To compete successfully in the sports program alone requires a great sacrifice for any boy, but even greater credit is due to an individual who can enter en- thusiastically into athletics and at the same time maintain for three consecutive semesters a scho- lastic average equal to or above that of the entire school. An ever increasing membership in the Strong Vincent chapter of this nation-wide society is an excellent indication that its goal of fostering scholarship among athletes, stimulating a desire for balanced training, and elevating the ideals of sportsmanship is being well fulhlled by tl1e sports- men of Strong Vincent High School. Senior Aces Membership into the Letter Club is an ex- cellent incentive for the girls of our school to become thoroughly interested in the athletic pro- gram offered here, a program confined strictly to intramural competition by a School Board ruling. To attain this highest honor, a girl must have been a member of' the swimming team, or have played on a winning combination in the intra- mural sports. Through their varied activities during the year, including hikes and picnics, as well as their regular sports program, the girls are brought to- gether in closer companionship, and develop a keener appreciation of the healthy activity, fair play and sportsmanship so valuable in the build- ing of character. The c1ub's program for the year begins after a hilarious. week of initiation and ends with a banquet to which the alumnae are invited, bringing together all girls having a com- mon interest in sports.

This year's Top O' The World, directed by Mr. and Mrs. Lee Winter broke all-time records. Because of the great crowd that thronged our auditorium the first two nights, a special performance was held on Saturday night to accommodate an enthusiastic audience. Who can ever forget the handsome Gene Barrat, Captain of the Royal Mounted Police as ably portrayed by Edward Gallagher, or the beautiful songs he sang to and with vivacious Fran Phillips, better known to us as Elaine Cleveland. Mr. Winter stated he was very well pleased with the comedians he found at Vincent. Mr. Winter might well have been speaking for the rest of us. As a cook, Evans Davis is unsurpassed. John Stauffer, an aviator who is being hunted by the Mounted Police, is persuaded by his French girl friend, Mimi CBetty Davisb to play Hlndian for a Day much to both their dismay when the Indian Chief CPaul Oberkircherj insists that John marry his daughter Blue Flower CPriscilla Arrow- smithj. She in turn is in love with Mickey Dillon, an Irish Police Sargeant known to most of us as Joe Dougherty. Mary Shreve as Babs Warren won her way straight into the heart of every member of the audience. Our l1eartiest thanks to the Faculty Directors, Mrs. Flynn and Miss Sourwine. Their hard work and cooperation went a long way in assuring the success of this production. A great deal of credit is due also to the groups who participated, in- cluding the Orchestra, which Mr. Winter said was the best he has ever found at Vincent, and to the Stage Crew. All in all they helped make 'iTop O' The World a production long to be remembered. TOP O' THE WORLD: A panorama of cast and choruses . . .

One hundred sis: Carnival Time A thousand lights blazed forth from Strong Vincent High School on the night of October 28, 1938. The reason-it was the night of our seventh annual Carnival. Although we arrived soon after the doors opened at seven o'clock, so that we would not miss a single moment of the evening's fun, the walks were already crowded with rosy- cheeked boys and girls, both spectators and performers. After we had gained refuge from the chill Autumn air in the warm sanctuary of the school building, we entrusted our wraps to the Misses Hazel and Willard Wright, who ran the check room, bought our tickets, and wandered into the front hall, only to be confronted by a seething mob of spectators, candy, ice cream, and flower vendors, and cries that sounded like the chant of the tobacco auctioneers, but really came from the Sideshow barkers. Our attention was immediately attracted to the complete model, eight by ten feet, of the first floor of the school. It was planned to scale by the Drafting Department from the sketch in the National Honor Society Handbook, and con- structed by the Woodworking Department. The Art Department made the grass surrounding the model and also the small signs to identify the various attractions of the Carnival. This minia- ture replica, made of wood, was placed on a low table outside the auditorium. It showed all the points of interest in the Carnival, including all of the sideshows. After playing a few games of Bingo and viewing the Rough Riding Yodellers, we dis- covered that that ole debili' called Carnival Spirit had us in his clutches, and so withOut further ado, we proceeded merrily on to see the Ghost House, the Turtle Race, a Trip Around The World, Dr. Killer Cure, the Fortune Teller, the Surprise Pie, Movies, and the Sample Fair. We emerged from our tour of the Sideshows laden with bal- loons, popcorn, samples of breakfast food, tiny red and black yarn dolls, peanuts, in fact almost everything imaginable. At eight o'clock we joined the gay throngs of people who were rapidly filling the auditorium. The ushers, resplendent in their crisp, white jackets, directed to us to our seats. Soon the One hundred seven A1 , lights dimmed, the music faded, and the curtain rose, revealing Elaine Kahn seated before a switchboard. In a short time, her snappy come- backs to the questions asked by various characters, whose heads alone were visible, had us all rolling in the aisles with laughter. At the conclusion of this skit, which was prepared by members of the One-Act Play Club, the curtain descended to the tune of ringing applause, only to rise a moment later, bringing to our vision this time a luxurious hotel lobby. Standing at Clerk Raymond Weber's desk was John Stauffer. The fourth floor of this hotel seemed to abound in talent, for each time Mr. Stauffer telephoned, the elevator soared to the fourth floor and descended again, bringing with it one or more of our gifted entertainers. In rapid succession, we were delighted by many variety acts, including the Davis Sisters' version of Small Fry, Bobby Cooney, Vincent's Bobby Breen, A-Tisket, A-Tasket, as swung by Charlotte Walters, and Gloria Garner as Fannie Brice's im- mortal Baby Snooks, with Evans Davis as her Daddy, This year's carnival also marked the farewell appearances of Louis Mennini and Sonnie Henry, both members of gifted families whose talents have entertained us for many years. Following the Auditorium Show, we slowly proceeded through the crowd down the steps and into the cafeteria, which had been converted, by means of gay streamers, into the International Casino. There, charming waitresses served us delicious refreshments at tables that surrounded a gold and black raised platform on which Walter Reese, our genial Master of Ceremonies, intro- duced numerous acts, among them Dolly San tone's intricate Tango, a song rendered by Mary Dean Kingsbury, and the dainty CPD stomping of a beruflled Boys' Ballet. j Once more we joined the jolting, good natured mob and, as indicated by our combination ticket, we entered the Pool Show. There, to the rhythm of the Blue Danube, as played by Carmel Bam- berga, many difficult patterns were formed in the water by the swimmers. A water burlesque of Romeo and Juliet, with James Arters as Juliet and David Ford as Romeo, drew much mirth from the audience. We held our breath as the divers, headed by City Champion Benny Strand, performed spine-tingling feats on the spring board, and we laughed at the antics of the comic divers. All too soon, the Pool Show concluded with the form- ing of a candelight S. V. and we turned our footsteps in the direction of the Midway. We ourselves were the performers at the Midway, and most of us were rather poor ones at that. It seemed as if those pennies just wouldnit hit that plate. And those darts! they absolutely refused to break any balloons. Oh, well, it was great fun anyway, and even if we didn't all win chrysanthemums, we at least received some caramels as consolation prizes. The dance was in full swing by the time we got there. Jerry Mitchell and his Orchestra certainly went to town that night. In spite of tl1e crowded floor, the jitterbugs were swinging with all their might, although the fast pace soon made them breathless and caused them to retreat to the refreshment booth for a cooling drink. Streamers and huge bunches of balloons transformed the Girls' Gym into a place of colorful gaiety, and added much to the joyous atmosphere of the dance. As all good things must come to an end, we reluctantly left the paper strewn halls at eleven olclock, to await im- patiently the coming of next year's carnival. Miss li. F. Connell and Mr. F. S. Anderson were the general faculty chair- men, and John Stauffer was the general student chairman of this year's carnival. But credit for its success must go to the entire school, for without the hard work of all the committees, and the whole- hearted cooperation of faculty and stu- dents this tremendous undertaking would be impossible.

We hurried tardily to our seats as the last strains of the overture died away, and were comfortably settled when the parting curtains revealed the warm and inviting living room of an eccentric maiden lady, Mary Herries. We at once felt we had entered the room from the chilly street and were thus carried easily into the story. In the room sat Mary Herries. and an ac- quaintance, Mr. Foster. She was no longer relating the tale but it was being enacted before our very eyes-Into the life of our Kind Lady stepped a charming young vagrant, Henry Abbott. He immediately took advantage of her generous nature and imposed on her hospitality on many pretences. He finally succeeded in getting a young girl, who was supposedly his wife, into the house by pretending she was ill. Later he brought three more of his rascally companions there and together they very cleverly isolated Miss Herries from all outside contacts. They proceeded to sell her valuable original paintings and continued to keep her locked up by claiming that she was insane. She finally is able to give a note to a visitor there and at the last moment the police enter to carry the criminals to jail. The play was the first of such dramatic quality to be offered by a Senior class and much credit must be given to Miss Loughran, dramatics director of the Villa, who directed the play and succeeded in shaping the subtle action into such polished form. Felicitations are also due to Roberta Maxwell who handled her difficult part with such finesse. We congratulate both the cast and their sponsors, the January Seniors.

Listen to that applause. The applause is being directed to the June class play, Headed For Eden. The curtain has just gone down and the players are taking their curtain calls. Such a delightful play. Mrs. Oral Skipworth runs a boarding house for eight business girls. Lovely Rosina Blandish is quite fond of her employer, Barry Richards who returns her affection. Because Barry is handsome, he interests Gladys Hermann, model, Peggy Walters, clerk, and Dorothy Brill, stenographer. Nancy Lane is enjoying a romance with truck- driver Henry Banks. Plain, efficient Minnie Peters, and Marcella Turner, who loses jobs almost as soon as she finds them, are two of the other boarders. Imogene, the large and clumsy maid, One hundred eleven is the target for many jokes. Hank, who collects the laundry, flirts with her but meets with rebuff after rebuff. A great deal of action centers about Kate Roberts who is a reporter. Kate's brother Bob runs away from home and meets with all sorts of trouble. First, a robber forces him to drive through a busy Chicago intersection at high speed, and he kills a man while driving at the point of the gun. Of course, Bob is immediately arrested as a thief and a murderer. The girls all band together under Henry's ingenious direction to find the real murderer. Kate dresses as a girl of the Salvation Army and goes out searching for clues. Ken Howard, a reporter on a rival news- paper, earns the enmity of all the girls when he tries to interview them. Then, when he really tries to help them, they ignore him and Kate treats him unmercifully. Henry proves himself the real hero when he discovers Limpy, an under- world figure with a religious mania. In an emotional scene of great power Limpy finally over- comes his fear of gangsters who may take his life and promises to reveal the man who forced Bob to drive so short a distance with so great a mis- fortune. The curtain finally rings down with Rosina Blandish and Barry Richards happily married, Ken Howard forgiven by a grateful Kate who is convinced at last of his good will, and Nancy and Henry with every promise of a happy wedding-to-be. The play was directed by J ack Lewis who has appeared in many plays at the Playhouse. Mr. Lewis is an alumnus of Strong Vincent and the students enjoyed his directing and really showed their best talent under him.

JUNIOR ASSEMBLY remembers the first Thanksgiving Small Fry in Activities The small body of Junior High Students at Strong Vincent do as much to promote activities and carry the Strong Vincent spirit forward as does the Senior High Group. The Junior Pied Cross and Girl Reserves are the two largest organizations in this group. Each club has its parties, sponsors dances and food sales, and does charitable work. The Junior Red Cross consists of both boys and girls whose main duty is the performance of worthy projects. They carved animals for blind children, assembled scrap-books for the hospital children, and prepared Easter favors for those at Zem-Zem. They sponsored novel food and candy sales that took place on special occasions. In April a representative was sent to the National Convention at Washington. The Junior Girl Reserves boast a membership of sixty-five girls. At the beginning of each school year the girls are initiated and each attends the recognition service at the Y. W. C. A. Each month a party is planned, teas are held at which the junior high teachers are guests. Once a month the girls attend lectures at the Y. W. C. A. or participate in the different sports this organization offers. At several of the meetings, nurses from the Visiting Nurses Association gave talks on health problems. When the Seniors leave the Auditorium, the Juniors enter it for their programs. Every junior high teacher plans three assemblies per year- other programs are contributed from outside sources. A Thanksgiving play, directed by Miss McCarthy, was given at that time. Miss Carrick and her classes wrote and performed a clever and original math skit. The ninth grade music class under the direction of Miss Galinsky presented the play '6Hristus and Prodi. The math and geography classes showed slides and gave interest- ing discussions on astronomy. The entertainment in the Junior Auditorium is in the hands of the student body under the direction of the junior teachers, they have shown much inventive ability and originality in organizing these programs. The Juniors also partake in intramural sports. They receive training in all outdoor and indoor recreations. This small body does, indeed, possess Strong Vincent spirit to the highest degree in all its activities. One hundred twelve Stage Struck President - Annette Shutllin Secretary - C Dorothy Mulligan Student Directors - - T JoAnn Schnur, Annette Shufilin Faculty Directors - Misses Peters and Warfel Want to act? Love the sound of applause? Join Vincent's One Act Play Club. Under the able supervision of Miss Peters and Miss Warfel, the club, now in its second year, ranks among the most popular at Vincent. When asked the main purpose of the club, Miss Peters replied, HTo stimulate interest in the theater-the theater al- ways being one of tl1e chief manifestations of culture. In addition to being an avenue of culture, the club furnishes ample opportunity for dramatically inclined students to give vent to their secret ambitions. The plays produced by this organization are presented at assembly for the enjoyment of the ONE ACT PLAY CLUB-Top Picture: the Christmas play A Table Set for Himself.

The presentation of such productions as 5'Why the Chimes Rang and the amusing radio play, f'The Fall of the House of Usher, started the club on the path of recogni- tion. This year, the American Beautyf, por- trayed by Jean Hersperger, related the story of a poor college girl unable to enter a contest because of lack of a gown. She finally succeeds in winning the contest. The play olfered ample opportunity for a display of the unusual talent to be found in the club. The Table Set for Himselff' presented during the Christmas holidays met with the same immediate success as had the 4'Nativity of the year before. The club is now Working on Freda Eastman's '6Bread and The Valianti' written by Hall and Middlemas which they hope to present soon. It seems as though the One Act Play Club is im- proving rapidly. '6Bigger and Better Productionsn might well be their motto. One ltunclrert thirteen 3,1 Scene Shifters Can you imagine a play without costumes, scenery, light effects? Would you care to go to a performance and have the curtains pulled at the wrong time or the lights go out? Then it is not hard to understand that a play or performance could not possibly be a success without those unsung heroes of the back stage-our efficient stage crew. Under the able direction of Mr. Shanor, Strong Vincent has produced a crew which can equal any of those at work in other schools. These students, who volunteer their services, have much work and great responsibilities thrust upon them. They not only take care of the school activities, but are responsible for the smooth running of all performances on the stage. They must be willing to work and devote a great deal of time to their chosen activity. They must be able to meet quickly any emergency which arises. Our thanks to these boys for doing a difficult job so well. STAGE CREW: Filip, MCK ay, Marsters,Hur- ley. Smith, Duncombe. USIIERS-Seated: Emery, Beck, Riehl, Frank, Hess, Vincent. Standing: Mercier, Weber, Eastman, Ford, Thomson, Stauffer. This Way, Please! Strong Vincent is proud of the work her ushers, under the direction of Mr. Shanor, are performing, whether at the shortest, simplest as- sembly, or at some extremely important school activity. Some people would say, '60hl there is nothing to that. Anyone could open a door or find a seatf, However, this is not the extent of an usher's worries. lt is up to him to see that everything is peaceful and that all unwelcome guests are quietly shown the door. He, to the best of his ability, finds lost or misplaced articles. To strangers coming to our performances, the usher is judged as a typical Strong Vincent student. Since first impressions count, an usher is in a position to reflect good or ill will on his school. He must be friendly and polite at all times. Thus, when a boy serves well in this position, he may justly feel that he has served his school in such a way as to reflect only credit to her good name. One hundred fourteen Sweet Saleswomen It would take a very strong will power indeed to refuse the delicious wares of the lovely lassies who are posted at strategic points through- out our halls every day after school. These girls are rendering a very worthwhile service to our school, and although they receive little recognition or gratitude, they continue to perform their significant task faithfully, day after day. And, due to our ravenous appetites or, more often than not, their winning sales talk, the candy sellers collect an amazing amount of money during the year, which is turned over to the treasury of the Student Council. This fund is then used to help in the buying of robes for our choristers, uniforms and instruments for our band, and otherwise to aid various school sports and organizations. Under the capable supervision of Miss Willard Wright, these girls are doing their part to make our school activities a success. CANDYSELLERS: Carr, Kraus, Gensheimer, Farrington, Braccini. CHEERLEADERS: Marsters, Lipsett, O'Day, Halley, Lawrence, Zacks, Sisson, Phillips, Miskell. Your Pep! Your Pep! Cheerleaders all-whose vim, vigor, and vi- tality set off that vital spark which instills in team and school alike the burning desire to win. It takes plenty of pep-plus a good strong voice, and an infinite capacity for unceasing work to become a cheerleader, and to them must go a major portion of the credit for the outstanding success of our teamsg for it was they who kept the school spirit at its highest pitch, cheering our team on to victory, or giving an encouraging rally in defeat. To earn a minor varsity letter, our cheerleaders must have sacrificed their lungs for a minimum of two years and must have the recom- mendation of the faculty adviser. To Mrs. Flynn, who took over the directorship when Miss Bryce resigned last Fall, we owe a debt of thanks for turning out an excellent crop of cheerleaders this year. Whether we win or lose, they are always on the job. More power to them. One hundred ffieen MA 4-.-MW, , ,KA The Listening Post Boy, I certainly have a sore throat from cheering in that auditorium. Such a comment is is often heard during the Fall as, under the in- spired leadership of Red', Cochrane, we cheer our team on to victory. It is important for any athlete to feel that the student body is behind him. Thus, by means of pep-rallies, we make the teams feel that we are supporting them. During one of these assemblies, Tommy Doyle, a football hero from Central High, gave an inspiring address as he told our team to fight on to victory against East High School. This year, as it has done in the past, the Student Council presented six very entertaining assembly programs. The first speaker, Betty Robinson, was a two-time Olympic winner. She told of her experiences in Amsterdam and in Germany. To participate in the Olympic games is a very great honor, and Miss Robinson over- came a serious injury in order to accompany the American team to Germany. Jill Edwards, a repeat lecturer from last year, discussed the problems of youth. The relation of streamlining to modern design was explained by Carl Johnson. In order to enjoy music, one must understand what the composer is trying to express. The background of music, however, is seldom studied, and thus we have many students who do not ap- preciate good music. Donald Scott-Morrison, with his 6'conversational piano playing, traced the history of music from the songs of savages to present-day jazz. He explained what each section of the pieces he played was supposed to represent. Mr. Scott-lVlorrison's arrangement of George Gershwin's Rhapsody in Bluew was something which will be long remembered in Strong Vincent. How would you like to have a balloon shot out of your hand by an arrow? One of our students experienced this as Russell Hoogerhyde, National Archer Champion, demon- strated the art of shooting a bow and arrow. Before this thrilling performance, Mr. Hoogerhyde told us something about the history of archery. lVlr. Frank P. Johnson told us how to find posi- tions when we graduate from school, a topic of utmost importance due to the conditions of business today.

Une hundred sirleen ln addition to the speakers furnished by Council, Vincent has been very fortunate in hearing such men as John Black- more, prominent young local attorney, who gave a peace talk in our Armistice Day celebration, Chester Zerbe, president of Pennsylvania's Yeterans of Foreign Wars, and Mr. Lempe, who enter- tained the assembly with an imaginary trip across the United States. The Aca- demy High School Band, a splendid musical organiza- tion, presented a Well-bal- anced program during one of our assemblies, as did the W. P. A. orchestra. Besides providing entertainment, the auditoriums have proved themselves of great value in training pupils how to act in a large gather- ing. Many a speaker, after appearing at an auditorium program presented at Vin- cent, has remarked that our student body is one of the most polite audiences he has ever addressed. This is something of which we are proud, and We strive to the utmost of our ability to maintain this reputation of being a courteous group. SENIOR AUDITORIUM--Mr. Nutter direets the W. P.

'ledger 45, Folio 137' OT more than half a dozen words are needed for the modern accountant to locate the state of any account on his books. But imagine what the Cashier of the Bank of England had to wrestle with when George Washington was still a British subject. Notched twigs recorded thousands of important financial transactions. A needle in a hay-stack was little harder to locate than any particular twig in the vaults of the Bank of England. Finally, these twigs became such a nuisance that they were ordered burned, and the resultant blaze burned down the Parliament buildings. Yet even that calamity was repaid with a system of records among the most thorough in the world. When the Old Lady of Threadneedle Street was able to replace sticks of wood with ledger paper, a new era of book-keeping began. I-IAMMERMILL PAPER COMPANY, ERIE, PENNSYLVANIA Five L.l.1.l-1 .
