He studied law at Harvard, grad- uated with distinction, and returned to Erie to practice law. Answering Lincoln's call to the colors he forsook a career of great promise to become a private in the ranks. Courage in the field quickly won him pro- motion, eventually leading to the rank of Colonel. At Gettysburg he proved his military ability in the engagement at Little Round Top, where he was mortally wounded. Shortly before his death, Strong Vincent was appointed Brigadier General by President Lincoln in acknowledgment of his courage and distinguished service. eneraf Sfrong incenf The Fall of 1930 saw the newest Erie High School named and dedicated in honor of Strong Vincent, lawyer, soldier, and patriot. Many of the school's traditions are derived from this dedication: the Vincent Coat of Arms became the school crest, the family motto, t'Virtute non viribus Vincent, By courage not by force of arms, we conquer was adopted as the school motto, from Strong Vincent's army title, Erie sports writers nick-named Vincent athletes The Fighting Colonelsf' ln addition, Strong Vincent High School inherited from old Central High, along with her material equipment, her stirring school song, her gallant colorse red and black, her record of clean sportsmanship. On the corner stone of the building these words are inscribed: The spirit of the school must be such that every individual is anxious to co- operate With the others in making that institution a good place in which to learn. This spirit is an ideal that shapes the lives of every student, it expresses itself in our varied social and cultural organizations, is embodied in all our activities, is a guiding influence in the class rooms. We are proud and happy to welcome our new principal to Strong Vincent High School. We Wish to express the warm feeling of friendship that We have for you and to assure you ot our sincere and loyal cooperation in your efforts to mold Strong Vincent students into responsible men and Women. ln saying this We foster a hope that under your guidance Strong Vincent may attain even greater triumphs than those which have crowned her name tcr the past decade. On your leadership depends the future success ot our school. We trust that, with the help of those who cherish her name, you will develop the traditions ot honor, courage, and sports- manship which for ten years have been Vincent's pride. ,i 6Ll 0!6! 2 C3fQ68I l'I'l6LI'l W 'L K ,Q '5' W' f X 1 -, ,,.- K f 1.5 ,,., N 4, . Q R . Because this year we celebrate the tenth anniversary of Strong Vincent High School, it is most fitting and right that this 1940 Spokesman honor a man who has worked untiringly to aid in the growth of our school, who has put in unoounted hours of work after the regular school day, who has helped to develop the character of many students- Because for the first decade of our existence he has been an active and interested member of our faculty- Because he has earned universal respect and affection, and has brought to our school fame and admiration by his constant example of clean sportsmanship-af We dedicate this Spokesman with pride and deep affection to CLFOZCI .!6 Cll'l'lQI Known more familiarly as Sam. Two of his famous characteristics, that of never doing things by halves, and always doing more than one thing at a time, were evidenced when he acquired a wife while still an undergraduate at Grove City Collegep not letting this hinder him in the least from acquiring both a reputation as a footballer and his degree. ln the Fall of 1929 Sam returned to old Central, scene of his high school exploits on the gridiron, as coach and teacher of physical edu- cations Then, in 1930, when Vincent opened he was made Physical Director and has held this position ever since. Here at school he has earned our affection and admiration for the keen interest he takes in all school activities-ever willing to give cooperation, support, encouragement. He is famous throughout the city of Erie for his hearty and contagious laugh, which will never rust through disuse. His is an example every boy and girl should follow, that of a man who stands for honest and clean sportsmanship, generosity, and a keen zest for living. Our respect and affection are deservedly his-he has earned them. r Q 4 l Eight i il S LAM xff-2fvrfM?g WN QBQXI Q06 5X3 KW URW QQQQ N K1 X 1930 Assistant Principal E. G. F RAIL Principal Sept. 1930-lune 1932 ln ten years changes of all sorts take place in every profession. This is to be expected, as every nation in the world is always trying to be the most progressive. Every nation is competing with its neighbor to.be the first in this field or that. Today the United States of America is the leader in the field of education. As each nation tries to better his neighbor so does each state do its best to have the most modern system of education. Even we students, in Strong Vincent High School, are affected by these changes. We have experienced the changes in the field of education, such as curricula adapted to modern needs, less homework and more self-study programs, more student leadership and less teacher imposed dis- cipline. But no change in Strong Vincent has been so obvious as the passing parade of admin- istrators. In the ten years since Strong Vincent first opened its doors we have had eight different people in the office to lead and guide us on the road to better and more progressive education. Sept. l93O-lune l937 A. J. NICELY Principal C. F. BROCKWAY Sept- 1932,hmp Assistant Principal Sept. 1930-Oct. ll, 1930 HATTIE M. SCHABACKER Deceased we padding ar Four have been in the principal's office and two each in the assistants' offices. Strong Vincent was built to accommodate the rapidly increasing enrollment. Many people with sentimental memories of Central had bewailed the necessity of this new school, but they realized it was an essential step in the progress of our school system. lt was natural and fitting that Mr. Elmer G. Frail, principal of Central High, be transferred to Strong Vincent as its principal. He brought with him the spiritual as well as the physical heritage of old Central. Before becoming principal of Central, Mr. Frail had taught at Erie High, and had been principal of Gridley lunior High. Mr. Frail served at Vincent for two years, at the end of which he retired, to enjoy a well-earned leisure. Accompanying Mr. F rail and helping to bring some of the spirit of old Central to Vincent was Miss Hattie M. Schabacker as assistant principal. Miss Schabaclcer had spent all of her teaching life in Erie and she was teaching in Erie High when Ten V E COON nf Principal F. s.

She served for seven years and then he also retired. Although there were two offices for assistant there seemed to be no need for two when Vincent first opened, but rapidly enrollment resulted in the appointment Mr. C. F. Brockway as assistant principal. Mr. ' y had been assistant principal at East and of Roosevelt lunior High previous to his ent at Vincent, and he returned from a year leave of absence due to ill health, to take new position. The work proved too much and a gallant effort he passed away that same Fall. At Mr. Broclcway's death Mr. W. E. Coon was ppointed to fill his place, at the end of the year r. Coon was transferred to Wilson lunior High s principal. ln l934 he was transferred back to incent as its principal, where he stayed until the ll of l939 when he was transferred to East as rincipal. leven 194 Sept. 1937-A H. D. LEBERMAN Principal Oct. 1939- On Mr. Frail's retirement, Mr. A. l. Nicely, principal of Wilson lunior High, was transferred to Vincent to fill that position. He served here for two years, at the end of which he returned to Wilson as principal. On Mr. Coon's transfer to Wilson his position of assistant principal was filled by Mr. F. Sebert Anderson, who had come over from Central as a teacher of the social sciences. Mr. Anderson has held this position since 1932 and is still serving. Miss Ellen Connell succeeded Miss Hattie Schabacker in 1937, previously she had taught at East and Gridley and was teaching Latin at Vincent when promoted to her present position. The death of assistant superintendent Cf. O. Moore made necessary several changes in ad- ministrative positions. As a result of these changes Mr. H. D. Leloerman was transferred from principal of Technical High to principal of Vincent and is serving now in that capacity. i . . t Mildred Allen-B.S. Edinboro State Teachers College. English. L. A.

The generous contributions which the P.T.A. makes to the Christmas baskets is an im portant item in the welfare work of the organization The most important activity of the Strong Vincent P.T.A. is the Hattie M Schabacker Student Loan Fund of which Mrs F L Day is now the chairman. The Loan Fund was organized in the F all of 1936 for the purpose of being financially helpful to the students desirous of attaining a higher education but whose finances would not permit them to do so unaided.

Doors fly open and hungry students dash through the halls and down the stairs to be first in the cafeteria line. Hurriedly they fill their trays with the delicious food prepared by Mrs. Blythe and her staff. ln all our thoughtless chatter little do we realize the time and work these women have given to have ready for us good, hot, wholesome food. A crew of fellow-students help these ladies with special duties during the seven lunch periods. Our cafeteria is self-supporting yet We as able to buy food at very reasonable prices. Vincentites say, hats off to you, ladies! It is a good thing that the care of Strong Vincent has not been left to the students. We shudder to even think of how it would look. The janitresses headed by Mrs. Miller do an excellent job in keeping our school spic and span for us They have to work quickly and very hard to hav the building in tip-top shape for the next day Every stairway, class room, locker room, girls room and all other rooms must be cleaned. Thes ladies not only make a healthful, clean buildin for us to live in but they are active supporters o our many activities. Strong Vincent is glad t have such a fine group of ladies taking care of it Mr. Foy guides the janitors in their duties and h does a very good job of it too. ln the winter it i these men who corne to school early to clean th walks for us. These same men keep our lawn an shubbery trim in the summer. They have to se that the mechanism of Vincent is in good workin condition. They too, are red and black booster We are indeed thankful for the dependable staf Eightee XD YQDIX Z Xxx QBQRAQ , 1 Q my wx X15 WACDVQLGX f xbuw X5 DU mick Gif iuing 09efAer The aim of the social science course is to educate not only for personal welfare but for participation and ability to function in an ever- changing society. lts purposes are to stimulate a desire to seek new facts and ideas, consider them carefully, Withholding judgment until the conclu- sion is evident, to keep the mind from being easily swayed but always open to additional evidence and new outlooks. The student is first taught to expect and to meet new problems and also is educated for individual and cooperative action in the interest of the group. For example, the unwise destruction of our forests, the erosion of our soil, the so called water stealing, and the exploitation of our mineral resources showed an utter lack of in- dividual responsibility for social welfare. The social science course is attempting to instill adequate education in social attitudes and ap- preciations. The preservation of the spirit of democracy depends upon socially conscious and enlightened citizens. The greatest need of America on the threshold of the greatest epoch of its history, is citizens who understand the past out of which this nation has grown, and are thankful for the heritage that has been passed on to them. The courses -offered in this field include American history and civics in junior high school, and world history, United States history, problems of democracy, and economics in senior high school. Also, this year, a new course called con- sumer's economics, which is useful training for future citizens, has been added. The history classes in junior high school are under the supervision of Miss McCarthy and Mr. Weibel, Mr. Weibel is the instructor of the civics classes. The world history classes are taught by by Miss Sourwine, Miss Quirk, Mrs. Boynton, and Mr. McCarthy. The United States history classes are taught by Miss Peters, Miss Evans, Mr. McCarthy, and Mr. Pratt. Mr. Gustavson conducts classes in problems of democracy and economics. The new course, consumer's economics, is taught by Mr. Schenck. Even now the instructors are working on a revision of the social science curriculum and are ever alert to new ideas which might further the objectives of effective social studies. Miss Quirk's history class put their notebooks on e in the school library. The P.O.D. class gets a preview of a citizen's duties they all use a demonstration voting machine. In Mr. Shanor's physics class, the boys practice scientific principles. Zia Ckanging lvmrfcl Even a small child has an indirect quest for scientific knowledge when he asks of his fond parents such a question as Where does the rain come from? It is only natural for human beings to want to know of the origin and basis of the various things which surround them, for some of the foods we eat, the clothes we wear, the homes we live in, our way of living, began in some scientific laboratory. It is when this child enters junior high school that he first finds the answers to a few of the most profound queries. Gradually as he progresses in his school courses his choice of studies becomes more difficult and yet more satisfyingp he may take general science at the beginning and then advance into biology, phys- iography, chemistry, physics or senior science. It is only in the past few years that the junior high school student has been offered a taste of the physical sciences. l-le now takes a course of general science which gives him a little of each branch of science, one of which he may choose to major in, in senior high school. Mr. Weibel, Mr. Cochrane and Mr. Blake are the able teachers of this subject at Vincent. ln senior high school biology is usually the first to be taken up. This science deals with the origin and life-history of plants and animals, and is exceedingly interesting especially when studied under Mrs. Flynn or Mr. Cochrane. Physiography is next in line and it tells of the earth and its con- struction and of atmospheric conditions. Miss Burke or Mr. Shanor teaches this at Vincent. The real adventure begins when the pupil enters the chemistry room. Atoms, molecules, protons and electrons, things which were previously unheard of now begin to take shape and a new world un- folds. With Mr. Armagost or Mr. Blake he will decompose compounds or make them. Mr. Shanor also teaches physics which instructs by actual experiment the laws and forces which govern this great world of ours. These latter two may be studied only by juniors and seniors. The most recent addition to the school curricula is senior science which is taught by Mr. Armagost. This presents a practical side for the boy or girl who will not go to college for it teaches them how to apply the principles of science to every day life. Mr. Hughes' trig class watches a surveying demonstration put on by four of the members of the class. In Miss Bryce's advanced algebra class, a student demonstrates graphing. A student in Miss Turner's geometry class proves that a straight line is still the shortest distance between two points. goof of cc!! oaarning Mathematics may not qualify as everyone's idea of an interesting course, but some, taking it either through necessity or natural inclination, have come to enjoy it. They understand that mathematics has always been the important factor in the foundation of our civilization. Without it we could not possibly have our present day sciences as we know them. Furthermore there is hardly an occupation today which does not deal with mathematics in some form. For this group of pupils the teachers of the mathematics department have provided excellent opportunities for enlight- enment and advancement. They have planned the courses in the order of student ability to master them and have attempted to satisfy everyone. Our own school, Strong Vincent, presents all this in a very efficient way. Qur junior high students are fortunate in having Miss Vanatta as their instructor in general mathematics. This course has recently been changed so that it now consists of plain arithmetic in the 7th and 8th grades and an introduction to algebra and geometry in the 9th, with some com- mercial arithmetic. Mr. Hughes is now teaching the last class in Algebra 2. Beginning next semester there will be no classes known as Algebra l and 2 taught in the school. ln beginning senior high work, the lOth graders have an opportunity to study plane geometry with Miss Turner, Miss Cantlon, or Mr. Hughes. Having successfully completed this course, advanced algebra is open to them as luniors. All of these classes are under the super- vision of Miss Bryce. ln their senior year, a choice of solid geometry or trigonometry is given. The decision between the two depends upon their future occupational needs. Solid geometry is taught by Miss Turner and trigonometry by Mr. Hughes. lnasmuch as people seem to work harder when a definite goal is in sight, the winning of the Rensselaer Medal is the goal of the students of mathematics and science. This medal is awarded each year to the most proficient student in mathe- matics and science. Twenty- two uziinedd raining Many students secure positions immediately upon graduation because those who have success- fully completed the commercial courses offered at Strong Vincent are able to go directly into business. Those who plan to continue their education will find that the training they have received, will be useful to them in their college work. The com- mercial course is definite vocational preparation, and the commercial field includes preparation for a variety of occupations. When Strong Vincent was first established, the commercial studies were few, but during the past ten years they have increased greatly. The Typing and Shorthand classes, under the direction of Miss Esler, Miss Forsberg, Miss Lange, and Miss Warfel, are always filled to capacity. The courses in Typing and Shorthand consist of two years. The typing classes are under the capable direction of Miss Ester, Miss Forsberg, Mrs. Donahue, and Miss Warfel. Mathematics is of vital importance in the com- mercial field as well as in the academic field. Two years of Bookkeeping furnish some knowledge of accounting, and are taught under the guidance of Miss Schade, Mrs. Donahue, Mr. Wick, and Mr. Schenck. Semester courses are taught in Busi- ness English and Commercial Law. Graduates in commercial work should have acquired the training which will enable them to work successfully for other people, as well as to manage their own affairs more efficiently and wisely. Business training provides the student with the knowledge of the business world, and also trains them to save money and invest wisely. In addition, the students in commercial fields learn to cooperate with others. In bookkeeping class, students check their figures on an adding machine. The office practice group turning out a school stencil . . . cooperation provides extra experience An advanced typing class transcribes their shorthand notes. Twenty- three .41 l There were hypnotic chord spins, chords of radiant beauty and dynamics in fine control. These phrases were only a few of many used by Wesley E. Woodruff, a severe music critic, to describe the Strong Vincent A Cappella Choir. We can Well be proud of such a fine group as this. Still other confirmations of their ability lie in the fact that the National Broadcasting Company listed the Choir as one of their ten best programs of 1939, and that due to the huge success of their singing at the World's Fair last May they were asked to return the following October to sing in the Temple of Religion, a request which they were unable to fulfill. The Choir practices for one hour every day and learns not only to sing notes but also become more adept at sight reading, at interpreting the words, at pitch and guality. The A Cappella Choir was organized in the Fall of l932 with Mr. O. L. Grender as the director and Mr. Anderson as the business manager. Each year since then it has mounted one more round of the ladder of success. This year it made its fourth annual trip to New York City where the group again sang at the World's Fair and over a nation- wide radio hook-up. En route to the great city the Choir presented several concerts at various cities and towns through-out the central and eastern part of Pennsylvania. ln addition, the Choir sang many times at home in Erie and the neighboring vicinity. The Choir has its own constitution, issues its own paper, and elects its own officers and advisers. The officers this year were Evans Davis, udic id fAe present. The following week the Academy A Cappella visited here. The concert was a great success and one of the factors was the guest artist, Andrew Lindstrom. Andy was a member of the Choir last year and is now studying at St. Olaf College. l-lis amazing tenor voice and remarkable stage personality thrilled the audience and sent them away singing his praises. The two choirs appeared together again in the Spring Concert. The Strong Vincent A Cappella Choir has established a reputation for the school from coast to coast.

Row 2: 65 0 fAe Milla! i i Mr. Grender, the director, deserves much praise. The Girls' Chorus is one of the finest examples of team-work in our school. Each girl of this group of about forty must drown her own individual vocal qualities and merge them into one perfect whole, a difficult achievement. Each day the girls spend fourth period working toward this end, and toward the Christmas and Spring Concerts when their efforts are made evident. Many people have remarked on the faultless blending, the pure quality, and true tones of the Girls' Chorus. Several times a year the group performs at neigh- boring towns, over WLEU, for the P.T.A., and for Row 3: Lohse, lames, Dundon, Blundin, Fiero, Sam Kalagian, Bourne, Foesset, Munn, Haworth, Johnstone, Karaisz, Humes Shufflin, Schacht, Kirkland.

They are also active earning money to finance their trip to Cleveland in the Spring to be present during the opera season. One of their popular methods of earning money is the sale of pop-corn after school. Being a self-governing body, the Girls' Chorus, which was organized in the Fall of 1930, elects its own officers and carries on its own busi- ness. This year Margaret Allison was elected president, Virginia Boyd, secretary, Mae Myers, treasurer, Susan Missimer and Carolyn Curtze, librarians, and lune First and Alice Saint, robe chairmen. Miss Galinsky is their able director, Miss Kohout their adviser. All work and no play, the old saying goes, makes for dullness, and so the girls hold several social events during the year. The robes of the Girls' Chorus carry out the school colors for they are white poplin with red and black collars, cuffs, and buttons. Gone are the days when it was considered sissified for a boy to sing in an organization such as GLEE CLUB-Row Long, Tidd, Franklin, Koeck, Nichols, Si- antcne, Lusk, 2: Hines, Schitea, Lasky, Rose, Shepley, Richardson, Car- Martin Lalohn.

Cften many of the school's most capable athletes are among its mem- bers. Singing is an excellent outlet for the emo- tions and particularly in such a group as the Glee Club where the music is of the best, and varies greatly in type. The singing and the fellowship are valuable additions to a boy's character and the musical knowledge acquired is helpful. These boys work hard every sixth period for the Christ- mas and Spring Concerts, and for their ap- pearances in Erie and the neighboring towns. Comparatively speaking the Boys' Glee Club is a new organization for it was started in Feb- ruary, l935. It, too, is a self-governing body and this year's officers were William Allen, president, Milan Munn, secretary, Frank Whitney, treasurer. Mr. Grender is the director of this zealous group of boys.

This means that the Band is practicing to play at one of the many functions in which it participates. We cannot help but feel just a little bit prouder of our school when this organization, wearing our Red and Black parades onto the football field and performs the intricate marching routines, and leads us in the many songs familiar to us. At the pep rallies, held before each game, enthusiasm rises to its highest peak when they strike up the band. The Band as a unit has been unable to partici- pate in contests which are held out of town, but individual members have won high honors for themselves and the school in the State Musical Contests which are held each year. As a climax to the year's social functions the Band usually combines with the Orchestra in presenting a Spring Concert. This year the pro- ceeds of this concert will be used to defray the expenses of a tour to one of the larger cities. Mr. Brown has been the very efficient faculty director of the Band since its organization at Strong Vincent in 1930 and Mr. Dean has been acting as faculty manager. When Mr. Brown is unable to be in school for Auditoriums in which the Band is taking part, Harry Fronzaglia acts as the student director. Besides these leaders there are also the elected officers who assist in arranging the affairs of the Band. For this year these are Eugene Mercier, president: James Richardson, vice-pres- identg Douglas Carnes, treasurer: and Richard Yaple, secretary. rains C400 A new instrumental group is being organize at Strong Vincent at the present time. It is to b an all girl group and will be known as a Bras Choir. Mr. George Yochim is to direct this unigu organization. The girls have made a good star and it is sincerely hoped that by next Fall it wil take its place among the outstanding musica organizations of the school. Watch for this Choi during the football season. qsee Picture, Page 121.3 Twenty-si llleef 6l,l'l6! QZJOLU A hush settled over the audience as the maestro raised his baton and another concert by the Strong Vincent Orchestra was under way. This well arranged program is the result of daily practice under the capable direction of Mr. Brown. Members of this organization not only develop their talent in music but they learn to love and appreciate fine music. Ten years ago when Strong Vincent was established, this organization was just a small part of the school and consisted of eighteen people, but since that time it has grown considerably and now it has forty-six people who are interested in this musical organization. lt has developed into one of the finest orchestras that any school could wish to have and the students of Strong Vincent are proud of this organization. During the past school year the orchestra rendered its services by many programs held in the school auditorium. They have presented selections at many of the following occasions: senior class plays, meetings of the Parent Teachers Association, and Commencement exercises. The orchestra also presented several programs during Education Week which was celebrated early in November. Bourne, Annually the orchestra holds a Spring and a Fall concert in cooperation with the band. These affairs are held in the school auditorium for the purpose of showing the results of the students' efforts to friends and parents. ln presenting these programs the orchestra was assisted by their faculty manager Mr. Dean. In addition to their class work the members of the orchestra enjoyed a social program which included a dance held during the Thanksgiving season, which was followed later by two roller skating parties. Full credit toward graduation is given for membership in this organization just as full credit is given for subjects in the academic field. This has not always been true. The orchestra started as an extra-curricular activity. In time they were given a period during school for practice, and half credit. Eventually, following the modern trend in education, full credit was granted for the very worthwhile accomplishments of the orchestra both in technical excellence and in the appreciation of music. 1: Rusterholtz, Ricart, Manning, Hoppe, Simon, H., Miller.

However, with the exception of Latin, they are open to upper classmen only, as our school follows the state recommendation that foreign languages be taught above the ninth grade. Under the guidance of Miss W. Wright, the Latin beginner masters nouns and verbs and studies Caesar. He may continue with advanced Latin: Cicero and Vergil, directed by Miss Mercer. Miss Bourguin and Miss Evans are willing and waiting to instruct all students who wish to com- prendre le francais. While Miss Kohout and Miss Galbo teach their classes appreciation of the great German and Italian masters. In addition to furnishing a background for the college preparatory students, the study of any language gives those who do not intend to con- tinue their education a means of increasing their English vocabulary. ur Wafiue ongue Gone is the old fashioned method of teaching English as Vincent undertakes the new. Formerly, the student was assigned so many pages in a book, he came to class, recited on it more or less verba- tum. Nothing further was expectedg if he was successful in reproducing the assigned lesson, he was given high grades. The new system gives a great variety of material to the student. Under each unit, there is an extensive selection making it possible for pupils of varying degrees of ability, ambition, and energy to find something which interests them and to explore as far into that field as desired. ln this way, the experiences of the new course of study are made comparable to life experiences. The teacher may keep a record of all of the work cf the pupil whether or not he has recited upon it. In this way she is able to judge the ac- complishments of each pupil. LETTERARIA In order to fully benefit when study- ing ltalian one must have a definite knowledge of Italy. At the left is shown an informal pose taken in an Italian class, while the class benefits from a map lesson. English deals not only with literature and grammar but one must also acquire practical knowledge. Here we see pupils in an English class learning the proper method of intro- ducing one another by actual demonstration. Twenty-eight NEWS CLASSWROW 1: Mr. Schenck, Garner.

This is an excellent example of an extra- curricular activity developing into regular class- work, for when Strong Vincent first came into being ten years ago the paper was strictly an after- school affair edited entirely on the time of a few students. For the first year circulation was straggly-a paper coming out now and then with Twenty-nine no seeming regularity. The second year Vincent had no paper at all, and it was not until Mr. Schenck took over the advisership that the paper was shaped into something really business-like and developed, by leaps and bounds, into a paper comparable to any and all, a paper which came out once a month. This Fall as an experiment, publication was prodded and the News began to be issued twice monthly with the once-weekly idea as a goal. After being with the News for seven and a half years, Mr. Schenck due to pressing duties as school treasurer gave his advisership over to Mr. Wick. Those of the staff who have been most responsible for the success of the News this past year are: Mary King, editor for one semester, and foe Markine, assistant editor under Frank Marsters. l e:i6l'l'l6L erri ln high schools everywhere today, the sewing department offers courses that enable girls to know how to cut from a pattern, how to fit clothes, how to wear clothes neatly, how tobudget cloth- ing expense, and the fundamentals of color, good materials and their different textures. In our school this course is under the capable direction of Miss Barber and Miss Crowell. Advanced sewing students make their own clothes on a budget and therefore have a variety of clothes which they can add to their wardrobe. These three girls are cooperating in cutting out a pattern in a sewing class. Cooking is becoming popular with boys as well as girls . . . a friendly couple cooperating in learning the fundamentals of cooking. g,l'l'L6l y0 CAE 6 Each day we see many of our Vincent students acquiring first hand experience in preparing some of the basic dishes of a meal, as well as being informed about the managing of food budgets. The biggest thrill in cooking is to learn to change a number of ingredients into a delicious dish. In past years the cooking classes were for the girls only, but a few years ago a few brave boys ventured ing as a result of this, the course is now open to the boys as well as to the girls. These classes are conducted under the guidance of Miss Barber. Keaufg id .amd Education has come to mean mental and cult- ural attainment. An appreciation for art is a mark of culture in any person, but art as a craft is a gif not every one possesses. Those students who are fortunate enough to have this gift receive a diversi fied course in Vincent. It offers them an excellen opportunity for self-expression and appreciatio of beauty. In lunior High, under the direction of Mis Galinsky, students receive a background of varie art experiences, including representation, letter ing, design, color, and art appreciation. Thi year, as a special project to aid the Red Cross, the made Braille book covers for the blind. If student wish to continue the course in Senior High, the receive a broad and extensive training under th able guidance of Miss Pearce. A variety of project such as still life studies in charcoal and wate colors, and figure sketches bring out their creativ knowledge. This course is a step higher in cultura attainment. The Art Department renders innumerabl services to the school by supplying posters fo school activities. They create school spirit durin football season by the attractive work they put u for display in the classrooms.

Drafting, a subject closely connected to wood- orking, is one of the most important subjects ught for the young man who is planning to enter ny of the branches of industrial Work. It enables e boys to make and to read blue prints, tracings hirty-one Q. and drawings. Drafting is the graphic language of industry. There are two kinds of drafting: mechanical and architectural. Mechanical drafting is con- sidered one of the basic studies for one planning to enter the engineering field. Architectural drafting is a reguired subject for one planning to study the science of art of building. Although the study of drafting in high school was originally planned for boys, several girls have found it to be an interesting as well as an instructive courseg they usually elect the architectural branch. Under the direction of Mr. Humphrey, several classes each week are devoted to the students in junior high school where drafting is a required subject, a more advanced course is offered to senior high students who elect it. For one planning to enter the industrial field, the industrial arts course is the most important course offered to them in high school. Jceloing if One of the many sports open to girls in our gym classes is basketball, a girls' gym class in action during the basketball season. The boys also participate in many athletic activities. Volley- ball, one of their favorites, proves popular in a gym period. The school health service believes in the ounce of prevention, the annual medical check-up cf each student is a precaution against serious illness. Physical education in Strong Vincent includes one period of physical activity in the gymnasium and one period of swimming each week. Both boys and girls at Strong Vincent have gymnasium and pool accommodations with two modern spacious gymnasia and a sixty foot pool. Classes receive marching and running drills, calisthenics, and usually the various sports in season are played in a modified form. Such activities include soccer, basketball, volleyball, boxing, wrestling, track and field, pass football, mushball, and relays for the boys, while the girls enjoy basketball, ring tennis, shuffle board, volleyball, badminton, archery, mushball, and track. In the pool every boy and girl has the op- portunity to learn to swim and there is very seldon a pupil unable to swim unless handicapped by some physical defect. Some specialize and be- come excellent swimmers and participate on the varsity teams. The girls have a progressive system consisting of three swimming classes, beginners, intermediates, and swimmers. Certain require- ments must be made in order to be advanced. The boys have a set of efficiency tests, in which the boy is tested in various activities such as rope climb, foul shooting, swimming one pool length, ten pool lengths. Each boy must show an improvement as he progresses in his class. He competes against himself rather than against boys out of his class. In addition to class activities the physical education department operates a fine intramural program in which every pupil has an opportunity to compete. Participation rather than speciali- zation is the theme of the Strong Vincent physical education department. Miss Ethelyn Secord, the school nurse, is always on hand to render first aid at all times when her services are required. For protection's sake, each Spring the school nurse and our school Doctors Gannon and Scibetta make a thorough examination of every student's eyes, teeth, throat, and heart. If any defects are discovered parents are advised to consult their family doctor. If necessary, cases are taken to the school clinic. Before participating in any kind of athletic sport a certificate of good health is just as essential a requirement as a good scholastic standing.

Their three short years are gone forever now, but who could help but remember the gay times, the heartbreaks, the good hard work, the various games and sports, and all those other things that make high school life what it is. The Banquet and Prom, probably heading the list of thrilling events, were held together on Ianuary sixteenth at the Hotel Lawrence. The Banguet Committee under the leadership of Iean Stackhouse and the Prom Committee guided by Iohn Stauffer planned the evening's gala time, Iohnny Himebaugh's orchestra supplied the music for the dance which began at nine and continued until one A. M. Because the prom was limited to advisers, the Seniors, and their friends, it was one of the most exclusive to ever be given by a Vincent Senior Class. In addition to that, the first Vincent Prom Queen, Elda Mae Myers, presided over the affair. The Senior Class was capably led by Robert Everhart as president, Robert Ashworth as sec- retary, and Marion Darsie as treasurer. Due to conflicting activities, the former president, Robert Barclay, was forced to resign shortly after school opened in the Fall. The mid-year graduates chose as their faculty advisers, Mrs. Flynn and Mr. Shanor.

Robert Everhart acted as chairman of this committee. When Commencement time came around, this Ways and Means Committee worked hand in hand with the Invitation and Caps and Gowns Committee under Chairman Marion Darsie. The class play, R. U. R. alias Rossum's Uni- versal Robots, was chosen by the Play Committee of which lack Vincent was chairman. Given on December thirteenth, and directed by Miss Pimley, the play received favorable comment. Class Day was another never to be forgotten affair in the lives of the Seniors. The committee, supervised by Ray Weber put on a clever takeoff on honor societies. In this, the Seniors provided many a laugh and a grand morning's entertain- ment for the underclassmen. As its theme, Chemistry in Modern Life was chosen for the commencement program. Speeches were made by Delsana Iane Taft on Chemists Make a New World , Ierry Boyd on Coal, Air, and Water-Chemical Miracles , Martha Hall on Camphor and Dyes , Robert Barclay on Man-Made Plastics , Gladys Robison on Synthetic Textiles , Roy Snyder on The Value of Research. Diplomas and awards were pre- sented while the Seniors sat on the Vincent stage for the last timeg as a finale the class sang the school song. Commencement had come and gone.

Strong Vincent's Seniors have worked hard to put into that year just as much as they could. They elected Annette Shufflin, President, Tom Martin, Vice President: David Borland, Secretary, and Sheridan Kettering, Treasurer. Miss Warfel and Mr. Wick were chosen as their advisers. One of the first committees to start action was the class play committee. This group, under the leadership of Iames Hess, chose Brother Rat for the class play. The banquet, followed by a dance, was held May 22. It was not long before exami- nations were under way. Those three days were .11 X., -1 , , g , S ,. e ,IV fr.. . - .. .,,A.,-. r ex av V -. 1 c . about the most serious of any during their high school career. The tests taken on these days determined the fate of many students. But with the arrival of class day, examinations were com- pletely forgotten. This was the day the seniors boasted. The Prom, held on Iune twelfth, was a very brilliant affair. At last the long hoped for night arrived: Com- mencement, each one thinking of what his diploma would mean. The graduation topic was Intol- erancep divided into five speeches: Its Challenge to Us, Knowledge of Ourselves, Of the Enemy's Weapon, Of the Ideal of Democracy, Of the Enemy's Territory. .

The ll-1 class of Juniors also elected their officers at the end ot the first semester. Their selections were: Eugene Mercier, President, Maxine Carlson, Vice President, Mary Emory, Secretary, Richard Wallace, Treasurer, Miss Bryce and Mr. Wal- lach, advisers. Much credit can be given to this class for instigating the rebirth of get-together parties. The success of these parties will probably promote other similar functions in succeeding classes. Crowding impatiently on the heels of the Seniors, the luniors eagerly speed the departure of their older classmates, for with that departure comes the Juniors' opportunity to rise and shine, and to profit by the mis- takes of their predecessors.

The juniors were not organized at once when the building was opened, but were admitted two years later, it being found necessary to create another junior high in Erie since the other buildings were filled to capacity. They might be considered a unit in themselves, separate from the rest of the school, for junior classes are conducted entirely separate from the senior's. They have their own athletic teams and other organizations such as the lunior Red Cross and lunior Girl Reserves, and the juniors have their own assembly programs, although they often attend senior assembly, especially the pep rallies.

Sixty-nine Yet, it is impossible to say that the junior high school is a separate unit for in reality it is closely related to the senior high. We might say that the juniors are the embryo of the future senior. The juniors always forge ahead with record ticket sales to school events, proving their loyalty, at pep rallies, the juniors' lusty young voices rise above those of the other students, proving their spirit, junior varsity athletic stars form a nucleus around which future Vincent championship teams are formed, and it is the junior of today, who tomorrow, as a senior, will teach those from other junior highs the ways of Vincent and lead them on in her traditions. xLN.fSf'f Row 1: HOME ROOM 120-Allen, Lois, Banko, Albert, Barr, Hugh, Bolan, Myrtle, Boyer, Clara, Brown, Rachel, Cauley, loseph, Claridge, lohn.

Lettermen. aussi! fo fie Mcford a ianf! Last year the Colonels ended the season claim- ing possession of one-third of the coveted Princeton Cup, token of the city football championship. Pleased with this taste of victory, the men of Vincent determined this year to have sole claim to the honor. Because of the lack of varsity material, the Colonels were rated the under-dogs as far as the city championship was concerned. Resolved to win despite pre-season predictions, Vincent went into its first game against Grove City, and won, repeating their triumph the following week against Warren. With two victories to its credit, the Red and Black was ready to enter the City Series race, and Tech was the first victim in the march toward the championship. After this fray, the Colonels began serious practice for the game of the year against their long- standing rivals, the Academy Lions. Before this game, however, they had an opportunity to ex- periment with new plays against lamestown. Both plays and score were very satisfactory to the Vin- centmen. The team, in first class condition, was ready for its hilltop rivals, the student body was keyed to a high pitch of anticipation. And the Kramermen did not disappoint-sending a cowed Academy Lion back to its den under an onslaught of power and precision. Again the Red and Black returned to foreign fields. At Meadville the Bulldogs and the Colonels struggled to a hardfought tie. Next, Vincent invaded Dunkirk and lost by one point. Displeased with this first taste of defeat, the Vincentites went into the Campbell Memorial game fighting. The game ended in a deadlock, with the Kramer come bine holding the Youngstown outfit scoreless for the first time that season. Vincent had already won two of their City Series games, but needed a victory or tie for un- disputed claim to the championship. Beat East! ! Beat East! ! Beat East! !

Two fine teams were playingg East and West were meeting, and anything and everything could happen-and did. The game ended in a tie, fulfilling pre-season ambitions by giving the Fighting Vincentmen undisputed possession of the City Championship. As far as the student body was concerned, the pigskin parade was over, but the team still had two encounters: one with Altoona, and the other with Watertown on Turkey Dayg both defeats. High praise to this team of 1939- City and District Champions! lunior Varsity football also had a big season this year.

A threat to any absent minded lag- gard roaming the upper halls, the scanty-clads jumped the gun on the track season by Working early season stiffness out of lazy muscles. The 1939 sguad, although handicapped by the return of only five lettermen from l938 added another championship to their coveted list of titles by winning the District Ten Championship for the first time in the history of Strong Vincent High School. Hunter, Martin, Estabrook, Orlando, and Moore returned as the nucleus for the team, with Co-Captains Hunter and Martin, Vincent's famed Miler Twins setting new records in the City, Dis- trict, and State Meets. The indoor track season saw the Colonel's four mile relay team of Hunter, Martin, Moore, and Kanash compete in the Cleveland Relays, where the team placed second to Cleveland Lakewood. The second indoor meet, in which the entire team competed, The Pitt Indoor, sponsored yearly by the University of Pittsburgh, saw the Red and Black, always a, threat, Winning for the second con- secutive year. The Colonels started the outdoor season earlier than ever before, when they traveled to Altoona to duel the Altoona State Champions. Vincent came home on the short end of the score, 78-39.

'Lettermen. , Seventy-five H Hunter and Martin, Vincent's twin milers took both the mile and the half mile, while Dick Estabrook brought home the only other first place-the hurdles. The next meet took the Red and Black to Mansfield, Ohio, where every year the famed Mansfield Relays are held. Vincent landed enough points to take ninth place in this, the greatest schoolboy track event in the United States, where annually over two thousand schoolboys gather in keen competition. Taking ninth place in these great relays is a record any school can well be proud of. Hunter and Martin were defeated in the mile, from this we can see that some Very fast competition was given the Colonel tracksters. The following week the Colonels returned to Mansfield for a duel meet, which they lost 'YO-48. The Colonels had defeated Mansfield the year before by the identical score. In an unusual meet on May 3rd Vincent defeated Erie East 65 1-6- 6l 5-6. It was an unusual meet in that East won ten first places, yet lost to the Cochrane coached combine. The outcome was in doubt until the finish of the final event, the mile relay. The Alliance Relays, staged at Alliance College, was the next meet for the team. Vincent had to be satisfied with a close third to Academy and East. The sarne evening, Hunter and Martin traveled to Salem, Ohio, and competed against the mile king of Ohio, Ray lordan. lordan beat them, in the fast time of 4:29, their second and final defeat of the season. With the lamestown meet the Vincent machine started to roll, defeating the Green and Red by a margin of 69-38. Hunter equalled the Chautauqua County record in the 880. Orlando was the only double winner, taking first place in the shot-put and discus. Now that the Colonel combine had started to roll, the team determined to keep it going. The following week the Red and Black smashed Alliance College 87M-395 on the Strong Vincent field. The next victims were the Dunkirk aggregation. They fell before the Colonels to the tune of 62 2-3- 41 l-3. This meet was a good warm up for the District Ten Meet-high spot on the local schedule. Under the lights of the Erie Stadium, Vincent pulled the season's biggest surprise by topping Academy for the District Pennant, by the close margin of two points. Again Vincent took only one first place, that the double win of Hunter and Martin, in the mileg but the other boys came through with enough place points to win. Hunter and Martin knocked five seconds off the mile record, setting a new low of 42345. Tech and Vincent clashed in the next meet, a duel one, and the Colonels continued their victorious streak by defeating the luckless Cen- taurs by a large margin, 73M-5321. The State Meet saw the Colonels pile up more points than any other Erie school. The Miler Twins climaxed a great season by setting a new state mile record in a dead heat. The previous time was 4:28, the new time 4:26.7. This was the second straight year the boys had taken this event. This increased Vincent's list of State Champion- ships to four. DiSantis' climbing the pole vault to 12'2 , and Callista's record of 49.1 in the 440, both in 1937. All these records still stand. The City Meet which always climaxes the local track season, saw Academy and Vincent battling it out for top honors. Academy edged the Colonels out of first place 44 l-3438 l-3. Hunter and Martin featured their last appearance by breaking the city mile record in 4:29, coming back and tying the half mile record at 2.02, and anchoring the mile relay team to victory.

Dick Estabrook holds the new school records for high and low hurdles . . . Chuck Miller is shown giving the discus a hefty toss . . . Bob Orlando is an all round field man and may always be counted on for points in events: here he is shown throwing the javelin . . . The three managers: Nolan, Bradt, and Pizzo rest a moment from their labors. Seventy-six established a fine record for the Red and Black tracksters of l939. The lettermen are: Co4Captains Oliver Hunter and Clem Martin, Seeman Rose, Dave Kling, Robert Orlando, Charles Miller, lames Guth, Robert Lundmark, lames St. George, Alton Raygor, Sam Pizzo, Dick Estabrook, Morris Bradt, Donald Moore, Thomas Martin. During the ten years of Vincent track history, the teams have produced many champions. When you hear of the Colonel tracksters you cannot help but think of such record breakers as Hunter and Martin, Callista, and DiSantis, who all still hold state records in the mile, the 440, and the pole vault respectively. ln addition, there is the fine example of unselfish friendship shown by Hunter and Martin. ln a sport where individual effort is essential, these two earned the nickname of the Miler Twins because neither friend would beat the other, invariably they came to the finish, stride for stride, to finish each race in a dead heat. The name of Strong Vincent High School became known throughout the country through champions such as these. They and their teammates have been coached to victory during the last six years by Kenneth Robert Lundmark, who is only a freshman, is the outstanding junior pole vaulter. He placed in the District lO meet . . . Chuck Miller caught in mid air in the broad jump . . . DiMarco.

Seventy-seven Red Cochrane. Maybe it was his Scotch blood that made him train his boys to cut down their time, but whatever it was Red deserves much credit. Before he migrated to Vincent, the track team was piloted by Mr. Wick for one year, by Coach Kramer the rest of the time. Coach Kramer as director of athletics at Vincent still assists in developing the team. Date Opponent S.V. Feb. 22 Cleveland Indoor .... . . 2nd. April 1 Pitt Indoor ......... . . . lst.

Pitt Inter-scholastics .... 5th place Of the excellent records that have been set up by the various Vincent athletic teams, none stands out more than the record that has been made by Art Weibel, mentor of Vincent's Swimming and Water Polo Teams. In 1937 and 1938 he coached Vincent's Water Polo teams to city supremacy. But great as this accomplishment may seem, it is overshadowed by an even greater one, for, in the past four years the Vincent Swimming team has beaten all comers to be city champions, and in one particular year, 1938, Vincent won the city cham- pionship and then went on to win the District, Regional, Quadrangular, and State titles and place second in the National Meet at Philadelphia. This year, when the time for the annual swimming season came around, the followers of aquatic sports in the city looked forward to the winning of another dual championship by the Vincent Mermen. A tense crowd filled the Vincent pool for the first Water Polo game of the season between Vincent and East, and after four exciting quarters the Vincent polo men, under the captaincy of Dave Ford, were able to stem the drive of the Warriors and chalk up their first victory of the season. The Centaurs were the next team to be swamped by the Vincent tidal wave and the fans became more Seventy-eight WIMMING INDIVIDUALS-Top Row: Dave Ford, captain of both swimming and water polo and the team's backstrokerg illiam Wisgirda, diver, and Bob Bruno, diver, snared many points for the Colonelsp Art Matteson did double duty as water oloist and swimming the 2205 Art Krein, relay man and water polo guard.

Tech and Academy again felt the sting of defeat at the hands of the swimming Colonels. At Connellsville the team was overpowered by a very tough team. The deciding meet for the city championship was between East and Vincent, and by winning it the Vincent Aguamen hung another feather in Art Weibel's City Championship hat. They then went on to win the District Ten and Quadrangular Titles and to establish a record that might well be the envy of any other in the City of Erie and all points North, South, East and West. They also participated in the Regional Meet at Slippery Rock, the State Meet at State College, and the Pittsburgh Relays in Pittsburgh. The boys that will receive letters for their valiant services are: Bob Bruno, Tony Calos, Capt. Dave Ford, Bill Hogenmiller, Art Matteson, Bud Riehl, Dave Lewis, Bill Wisgirda, and Manager Dave Weaver. This school is truly grateful for the excellent record that has been obtained by our aquatic teams and especially to the Coach, Captains and Managers that have helped to obtain this record. mg if Kyw if 3 f W F f 'ff 7 if A , is W Nga 35353: i Tk in ..i, in ,v , Vlil 1 if Wx I 5 , , 6' if '. ,fx ': FT? f x-M 5 's A .5 'av ,KC is C-Tree .Slab an lu! .Slab When basketball took the sportlight from foot- ball, the chances for success seemed dim. A green, unproven team had to be built up around the three returning lettermenz DiBacco, DiTullio, and Martin. Reminders of past seasons kept the fans from selling Vincent short, however, for, since Strong Vincent was organized in 1930, we were City Champions and runners-up for the State Championship in 1932, in 1936, we gained our second City Championshipg and, under Coach Sam Kramer's canny generalship, have always been a constant threat in the local basketball race. This year's city series race was divided into three rounds, that is, Vincent played each school three times. The team played its first game with East, but did not have the extra stamina needed for victory. Their next city series game was with Tech and again the team tasted the bitterness of defeat. ln the game with Academy, the defending champions were able to pile up a first quarter lead that was impossible to overcome. ln the second round of play, the Vincent squad took revenge on the Warriors by soundly trounoing them. Tech was the next team to bow to the now-encouraged Colonelsp Academy, however, defeated Vincent by the very close score of 36-35. Vincent opened the third and final round by defeating East and ech, and in the thrilling last game, the Kramer- en took over Academy 48-49 to place second n the city series.

The season consists of only one game with each school, making four in all. A victory over the Lion Netters of Academy started the '39 season. Victory again appeared when Vincent encountered Prep. Already past the half-way mark with perfect scores, the Colonels met East and were defeated. This defeat was compensated for by winning over Tech in the final meetg but because of the inad- vertent use of an ineligible player Vincent had to forfeit the City Championship. In the Fall an interscholastic tennis tourna- ment is held and serves as a preview to the spring season. Om ZLL Vincent harriers found themselves up against this competition in their next meet and Vincent made a fine showing at Alliance. In their last dual meet, the Colonels had a chance to make up for their loss against Academy. This time the team came across the finish line with flying colors, defeating the Lion rivals. At Pittsburgh, the following week, the team came out of the smoke and across the finish line to take a good sixth place. Only one harrier qualified for the State meet: Clem Martin. Clem crossed the tape in second place. We would like to congratulate the team on adding another great Cross Country season to the decade of Vincent track history, and to wish Clem Martin four further years of record breaking at Notre Dame. gfeelfl strong arches, for before the season is over they have walked almost every fairway in the county. Out of fourteen matches the Colonel Golfers broke even by winning seven and losing seven. As far as the city meets were concerned the team made a good showing by defeating Prep and East in both encounters with each school, losing once to Tech and twice to Academy. Every letterman of last season's team has graduated, making it neces- sary to recruit an entire new team. Mr. Schenck is the coach and adviser for golf, and is in charge of the pre-season elimination tournaments by which team selections are made.

Alton Raygor negotiating a successful attempt in the high jump Eighty-fou Qefaing in Corwhfion In order to be sure that every boy will have an equal opportunity to build up a strong, healthy body by participation in all forms of athletics within our school, our coaching staff has devised a system whereby all boys may compete in the sports in which they excel. There are two types of competition: team and individual. Of the various sports which may be chosen, basketball and volleyball are the leading sports in which team or homeroom competition plays an important part. Tennis, boxing, wrestling, and indoor track are the sports in which individual prowess decides the winner. ln the team sports, basketball and volleyball, the different home rooms are divided into three classes, A, B, and C, according to the age and grade of the students in the homerooms. Semi-final competitions and eliminations are run off and the winners of each class meet in the final eliminations to decide the champion of the school. The in- dividuals that take part in the boxing and wrestling tournaments are weighed and graded in different divisions according to their weight. The Indoor Olympics include the track and field events that may be run off indoors: and the winning of such events as the broad jump, shot put, and the hundred yard dash depends purely on individual ability. At no time of the school year is a varsity sport without its intramural counterpart. ln the Fall we have the Autumn tennis tournament paralleling the football season. At Christmas time intramural basketball is the companion of varsity basketball. Soon after the beginning of the new semester volleyball parallels varsity swimming. Later in the semester boxing, wrestling, and the Clympics go along with track to complete the intramural program of the school year. The intramural pro- gram is directed by Mr. Kramer and Mr. Cochrane. BOYS' INTRAMURAL SPORTS: Volleyball Champions winning an important game.

They flock from all the grades, eager for the grand fun and valuable experience that may be derived from the exciting sports program offered here. And it is rare indeed when there is not at least one activity in this varied program that appeals to these sportswomen. Starting the season comes volleyball. This long-time favorite requires an alert mind and agile body as well as extreme skill and precision. The teams are composed of from five to eight girls, usually of the same grade. The first team having twelve points wins, and the first team winning two games is the winner for that day. The volleyball championship is a coveted honor and doggedly sought after by every team in the league. Basketball continues to be the leader of the girls' sports at Vincent. Although the game must be played according to girls' regulations, it is none the less thrilling, and the time limit on each game creates a frenzy of excitement. To the champions go the spoils: admission into the Letter Clubg incentive enough for the hard effort and lively competition among the teams. Swimming has now become a year around sport for many Vincent lassies, and through the use of our pool they are developing strong, lithe bodies, having lots of fun, and gaining experience. They meet every Thursday afternoon because the rest of the week the pool is taken over by the boys, but in spite of few practices they make wonderful progress in swimming. One of the most beneficial aquatic activities at Strong Vincent is Life Saving. In this the girls are given invaluable instruction in responding to any crisis that may arise in the water. Every possible phase of Life Saving is thoroughly covered, and those who successfully fulfill the requirements and can wear the insignia of the American Red Cross may be trusted im- plicitly to do their duty. Ring tennis means just what the name sug- gests, a small white rubber ring is used, and is hurled back and forth over a high net until it is dropped. The players are allowed to catch and throw the ring in a specified manner which re- quires no little skill. Ring tennis has worked its way up from near oblivion to one of the most popular of the sports. With Spring comes mush-ball season, and with mush-ball comes all the thrills and excitement of regular baseball. The action is very fast, and the girls become remarkably skillful in throwing and hitting the ball. lt is made even more enjoyable on warm days when the play can take place on the athletic field. Spring also heralds another favorite-tennis. The contestants may play at their own convenience, but within a definite time limit. In this tournament the players compete as individuals, their grades INTRAMURAL SPORTS: Tennis finals-school champion Betty Gillespie receiving congratulations from runner up loan Benson.

Our girls are earnestly striving to develop these attributes and are gradually through their efforts building up real competition. Vincent has lately seen a revival of interest in Eighty-seven that most picturesque of sports, archery. And it has found this comparatively simple looking sport to be one requiring the greatest skill and precision. The girls spend long spring afternoons developing their aim, and acquiring a keener measurement of distance, both so necessary if one wishes to strike that golden goal, the bull's eye.

Brains and brawnithe two main requisites of every member of the National Athletic Honor Society, mean many a long hour of hard work and diligent study for the lads aspiring to this goal. lt means that after vigorously practicing his chosen athletic program all afternoon, he must, though tired from his exertion, apply himself to his lessons. For to achieve this highest honor that can be paid to any Strong Vincent athlete he must have earned a letter in at least one sport and be able to maintain a scholastic average egual to or above that of the Whole school. I-le must also have displayed the highest type of sportsmanship. These are rigorous demands, and great credit is due to the fellows who make the grade. Admission into the society amply rewards him for his faithful application, and its worthy purpose of fostering scholarship among athletes, stimulating a desire for balanced training, and elevating the ideals of sportsmanship is a challenge to Vincentites to become scholars as well as athletes.

This interesting, fun-loving organization comprises a group of happy, healthy girls who have either won a letter for swimming or have played on a winning combination in the intra- mural sports. Membership into the Club has proved to be an excellent incentive to the girls of our school to become thoroughly interested in the athletic programs offered here. They learn to appreciate healthy activity, fair play, and good sportsmanship which are invaluable character builders. After a hilarious, but none the less thorough, initiation, which keeps the school in an uproar for three days, the new members are on their way to a year of excitement, culminating in a grand banquet to which the alumnae are invited, bringing together all girls who have a common interest in sports.

At that time a new Constitution was drawn up, whereby a more democratic representation and more authority were provided. Since then, the duties of the several officers have been enlarged. Council is now one of the guiding factors in the democracy of our school, owing to the efforts of many wishing to practice good citizenship by their active participation in the school govern- ment. lncluded under the sponsorship of Council are the Carnival and Musical Comedy, which furnish the bulk of the money to be raised, and are eagerly looked forward to each Fall and Spring. The growth of Council's influence and juris- diction has increased steadily under the able leadership provided by the student body, aided by student cooperation.

This does not mean that if you can do these other things, your chance at monitoring is gonekby no means. In fact, most of the monitors are leaders in other activities as well. To gualify, a student must be dependable, tactful, courteous, trustworthy, eager to work, and well up in his studies. ln addition to that, he must devote a period each day to the carrying out of his duties. Why not apply for the position? You have a chance at the beginning of each semester. Une of our most indispensable monitors is the hall monitor. This student contributes much to the democracy of Vincent--students managing students. He is chosen by Miss Ellen Connell and the second vice president of student council. lf this monitor proves that he is unworthy of the position granted him, he is promptly and un- ceremoniously removed. Each period is super- vised by a head monitor on each floor. lt is his duty to see that the students under him are at their posts and correctly performing their work. It is the duty of each hall monitor to take care of the hall lights before and after each period, to see that the halls are kept clean and guiet, to guard the lockers, and to keep wandering students as well as unwelcome visitors out of the halls. With Ninety-two Ninety-three Among the various duties of office monitors, the girls check the files. LIBRARY MONITORS- Row 1: Tiffany, Kahn, Paras dise, Bongiorno, Knobloch.

A new student receives direc- tions from a hall monitor. this in mind, the hall monitor realizes his re- sponsibility in overseeing his section of the hall. Other must have students are the office monitors. How can you tell her? ls she hurrying? Does she carry papers galore? Then, she's an office monitor. This young lady carries notices, collects absent slips, checks the attendance, runs errands, answers the phone, and efficiently but with the greatest of ease takes care of any other matters which might come up. When the phone rings, when notices are to be distributed, when urgent errands are needed, this girl proves that she is ready, willing, and able. Under the supervision of Miss Ellen Connell and Mr. Ander- son, the assistant principals, the girls learn many of the side-lights of working in an office. To them, the school owes much in the way of a smooth- running office force. The library monitor is somewhat like the office monitor. This young woman stations herself at the door and demands a library admit from all who desire to enter. She checks admits, stamps books taken in or out, returns books to their proper places on the shelves, helps students to find various reading material, prepares books for cir- culation, mends books, helps to locate overdue books and their borrowers, returns admits to the teachers who issued them, runs errands, and takes command of the library in Miss Wilson's absence. The girls find their work enjoyable as well as educational. Such is the life of a library monitor. The work of the gym monitor is vastly different from the Work done by the hall, office, and library monitors. For a girl who is interested in athletic activities, this is heaven. Here, she learns all the various girls' games played at Vincent. She thoroughly enjoys every minute of refereeing each sport. She turns showers off and on, takes care of the lights in the dressing room, mops up the water tracked in from the pool, sees that all necessary rules are carried out, distributes tank suits, times the various activities, makes out special and attendance sheets, runs errands, and takes charge of the class when Miss Weinheimer is unable to do so. Because of the type of Work she does, this girl has to be alert, fast-thinking, and fair in her decisions.

Ninety-four ainfaining .gjfanclarofri One of the most outstanding organizations at Strong Vincent is the Hi-Y. The reason for the renown of this organization is the fact that it has a dual purpose: to foster good physical and mental qualities and to build a foundation for Christian endeavor. This purpose is founded on a platform of clean speech, clean sports, clean living, and clean scholarship. ln the motto of the club, to create, maintain, and extend throughout my school and community, high standards of Christianity, one will find its purpose more clearly defined. Only boys who measure up to these qualities are admitted into the Hi-Y. But not all the time of the club is spent in serious thinking, for, when the day comes 'round for initiation of new members, several boys are seen running around in the halls and rooms of the school with their lips besmeared with lipstick, their shirts on front-side-back, their ties on their left arms, and their general appearance slightly disheveled. A new plan for membership has been intro- duced into the Hi-Y this year. ln past years the club has not restricted its membership with respect to grade. Now, however, the club membership has been put on a 20-20-20 basis, that is, twenty seniors, twenty juniors, and twenty sophomores. The Hi-Y has always been an advocator of new ideas and this year they have put into practice one of these ideas. This has been the frequent lobby parties which have been held in the Y. M. C. A. On the designated night, the lobby has been re- served for the Hi-Y boys and their dates. Dancing, singing, ping-pong, billiards, and other party games have been the entertainment provided. Also, refreshments, usually in the form of soft drinks and pretzel sticks, were served. These lobby parties have been very popular this year and are expected to be continued in the future. The officers of the club for the past year have been: lohn Stauffer as president, lack Vincent as vice president, lack Batten as treasurer, lack Hamil as secretary, and Pat West as chaplain. Mr. Weibel has been the club adviser. Thus, true to its purpose, the Strong Vincent Hi-Y has become one of the leading boys' organi- ations in the school. inety-five MA ing fo SFU? The place is Central High School, the year, 1925. A group of girls are gathered in one of the classrooms, the purpose of the gathering to form a new club, the Rouge et Noire, or the Red and Black. This organization is now called the Girl Reserves, and its membership has grown to over one hundred and fifty. The organization carries on its work under the supervision of three faculty advisers, Miss Mercer, Miss Wilson, and Miss Thomas. lt has a cabinet which consists of Pres- ident, Artemis Chacona, Vice President, Marjorie Howe, Secretary, Martha Hall, Treasurer, Ann McElroy. The purpose of the club is to face life squarely, to find and to reach for the best. The Girl Reserves opened their meetings last September with a tea at the Y. W. C. A. Through- out the rest of the year, there were several parties, teas, and also a tureen supper. ln the Yuletide season, they participated in the Hanging of the Greens at the Y. They wound up their activities for the year with a picnic on the Peninsula. ln September, they took new members into the organization and at a joint induction ceremony of the three high schools the new members were formally received into the club. As service is one of the points in their pledge, the Girl Reserves assisted in the Save an Eye Campaign, the Y. W. C. A. membership drive, and gave their annual entertainment at the Old Ladies Home. The Ring Group, an organization within the club, is for girls who are interested in studying Girl Reserve problems. You must be a Girl Reserve for one year or more to become a member. These girls meet at the Y and discuss problems of Girl Reserving. They must attend four of these meetings to merit a ring. This organization was formed in l937, and has grown until it has become a big part of the Girl Reserves. All three clubs of the three schools are ruled by the Tri-Hi, which consists of the cabinet mem- bers of each club of the three schools. Each year this group arranges the City County Conference, and each Spring and Fall, they hold their annual Tri-Hi formal dance. The Tri-Hi cabinet also sponsors joint meetings with the Hi-Y.

I 2Cl,l'l'L 0 fke 60,0 The National Honor Society of Strong Vincent is one of the most outstanding organizations of the school. Only those having a high academic stand- ing and showing qualifications in Character, Leadership, and Service are eligible for admit- tance. Therefore, to be chosen a member of this society is the greatest honor a pupil can attain at Strong Vincent. Students are chosen each semester by a Faculty Senate composed of Miss Mercer, Miss Warfel, Miss Bryce, Mr. Armagost, Mr. Anderson, and Mr. Leberman. No students have a voice in the selection of members. The academic qualifi- cations necessary for admittance are: luniors must have an average of at least ninety per cent, and Seniors must have an average of eighty-five per cent. Pupils must also show ability in taking charge of affairs and handllng them properly, be willing to offer their services, do what is asked of them, and have a reputable character. Under the quota no more than fifteen per cent of any class may be admitted. No more than five per cent of these students may be chosen in eleven-two, and no more than ten per cent may be chosen in twelve-one. The requirements are so strict and so well enforced that the quota is seldom filled. Impressive induction ceremonies are held in the school auditorium, at which time the qualifi- cations and aims of the society are explained by the members. After this procedure, the old mem- bers go into the audience and, tapping the selected students, lead them to the stage where they are introduced to the president. Informal initiation is held a few weeks later with a banquet, entertain- ment, and sometimes a dance. Ours was the first chapter of the National Honor Society chartered in Erie. That was twelve years ago at Central High School. Since then all of the other Erie high schools have obtained similar charters. During these twelve years only 432 members have been admitted to our society, show- ing the high caliber of students chosen. The officers this year were: DeLana Taft, President, and lack Vincent, Secretary for the firs semester, and Bill Levin, President, Lorrain Hannon, Vice President, and Bill Smith, Secretar for the second semester. Miss Mercer is Treasurer. The goal of the organization, toward whic all members and those hoping to be member should strive, is to create an enthusiasm fo scholarship, to stimulate a desire to render service to promote worthy leadership, and to encourag the development of character in the pupils o the school.

It hardly seems possible that a club could hold together for that long and still have the vibrance and spirit that the Pre-College Club has! Yet this is true, for records prove that some fifteen years ago at Central High School, a group of enterprising young people, aided by some of the faculty, organized a group for the purpose of aiding those students preparing or expecting to go to college. Through very entertaining means, the members are acquainted with the many different colleges, the requirements for entrance, tuition, ees and other expenses, and life at the college 'tself. . . Representatives from various noted colleges re invited to come and speak to the members, thus iving that certain college a personal quality of harm which might not be gained otherwise. For xample, at the second meeting of the club this ear, Mr. and Mrs. Biggs, representatives of estminster College, gave a very interesting ,talk n the college, illustrating fascinating points with xcellent movies. After this little talk members ere invited to question these representatives, hich they did with little show of hesitation. Most f the questions centered around the college life, hat the social activities were there, what the tudents did after classes and so on. Mr. and Mrs. inety-seven 0 0 eg? Biggs were eager to answer these questions with candid frankness, thrilling the members beyond expectation. College life was just what is pictured! Since those four years are destined to be very important, the choice must be a wise one. The selection of a college hinges very much upon one's reasons for wishing to attend a college. If the reason is a vocational one, interest in the club would center around information concerning colleges which carry professional studies. lf a student is going merely to acquire a cultured back- ground, he will very likely go to any college which seems particularly attractive to him. They say a club is only as good as its leaders and such must be the case for the club has been fortunate in having Richard Pimley for President, lames Phillips for Vice President, Ioanne Fiero for Secretary, and Hugh Herron for Treasurer. Under the capable advisership of Miss Turner and Mr. Dean, this club has progressed splendidly, aiding and advising all students who are puzzled about their choice of college. Many a former member of the club has found the information received here invaluable in his choice of college or university. C' 'i-Wni'-r-Y-7 ibanfe gamer! fo incenf Under the leadership of Miss Galbo, the Dante Club came into existence. This club was organized at Vincent soon after the teaching of Italian be- came popular in Erie. Membership in the Dante Club is limited to the senior Italian classes. The purpose of the club is to create and develop an appreciation for the cultural, social, and practical values of the Italian language. The members, through the reading of books, presenta- tions of plays, the study of music of famous Italian composers, and art of renowned Italian painters, are aroused to a deeper interest in their Italian heritage. During the year, the club has sponsored several successful skating parties. The proceeds of which have been used for club entertainment. Also this year the club has donated money to the opera guild for International continuation of the Saturday Metropolitan broadcasts. Among the achievements of the club is an excellent Spring Display which is open to the public. In the past this project had been sponsored by the interested Italian students and is now being carried on by the Dante Club. Mary Zulian is president of the club: Elsie Pizzuto, Vice presidentp Ida Cardamone, secretary, Pearl Phillips, treasurer. Miss Rose M. Galbo is the club's adviser. er lbeuf:5cAe urein To be a member of the German Club is con- sidered quite an honor since the eligibility standard at Strong Vincent is especially high for first and second semester German students. The admirable purpose of the club is to attain a closer insight into the life and culture of the German people and to pursue the study of German with more interest. The German Club was organized at Vincent with the belief that such a club would be of great benefit to those studylng the language and attempt- ing to learn more of German life and customs. A great advantage in belonging to the German Club is the opportunity this membership affords for the development of facility in the use of this language and for practice in pronunciation. A program committee plans an interesting program for each meeting. Entertainment often includes songs, playlets, poems, music, slides, and spelling bees. Students are encouraged to get better acquainted with one another through their common interests and friendships in the club. The club's president is Martha Linde, vice president, Iames I-less, secretary, Gertrude Ruegerg treasurer, Ursula Schmidt. The faculty adviser is Miss Bess Kohout. .glfldtlfiff FOIHLLXMJQMQ 0l'l'L6Ll'lll5 S.P.Q.R. causes much curiosity at Vincent. These initials stand for Senatus Populusgue Romanus, the Latin Club, which is a society of recent organization in our school. All second year Latin students and those of more advanced Latin are eligible for membership. The officers of the club are as follows: Pontifex Maximus, Ellen Esther Sherk, Consuls, Sally Brennan, Rosemary I-Ieldy Censor, Nancy F rankg Quaestor, lane Feist, Aediles, Ioan Davis, Ann Devinep Tribunes, Iean Bacon, Dow Davis. The club's adviser is Miss Willard Wright. The purpose of a good Latin Club is to give the pupil such a friendly interest in the classics that he will be eager to go on with them in college and will look upon them with respect and admir ation in his future life. The S.P.Q.R. not only give an outlet to the dramatic instinct, but at the sam time strengthens correct pronounciation of Latin It furnishes an opportunity for the learning of muc about the Romans and their civilization for whic there is not sufficient time in class. Latin Club meetings include many interestin and amusing Latin games and songs. Students ar encouraged to develop leadership, responsibility and originality in preparation for these meetings Motion pictures depicting Roman life and custom are often shown.

To be eligible for membership into this club, a girl must have been a member of a championship team in volleyball, basketball, ring-tennis, baseball or swimming. She must also have been present every time her team was scheduled to play. If a girl meets these reguire- ments, she may then be voted in by the old mem- bers of the club, she becomes a full-fledged member after she has undergone the prescribed initiation. New girls are usually admitted at the completion of each league. When a girl reaches the tenth grade, she is automatically dropped. This sport club is not a new thing at Vincent but a junior branch of the Girls' Letter Club, an athletic club organized several years ago for the benefit of girls in the tenth, eleventh and twelfth grades. Two girls from the Girls' Letter Club are elected by the lunior Aces to act as advisers for the club. This year the advisers are Margaret Allison and Helen Cauley. Miss Weinheimer is the faculty adviser of the group. There are, at present, nine members in the club, six old, and three new members. JUNIOR ACES-Row 1: Miss Weinheimer, Painter, Seeman, Piefer.

Organized to give recognition to junior girl athletes, their activities center about a social program. X uri? .Manda Friday afternoon is hcbbytime in Room 122. Boys interested in woodworking meet to work on their hobbies in an informal manner under the guidance of Mr. Cfroschke. This club was organized by Mr. Groschke three years ago, and through his efforts has become very successful. The purpose of the club is to increase interest in woodworking as a hobby. lt enables the boys to learn just which branch of woodworking is most interesting to them and how to make use of this hobby in their leisure time. Any boy in the school may come to the woodshop on Friday afternoon to make what he pleases. Supervision is not stressed for the boy works as he would in his own work- shop at home. WOODWORKING CLUB der, Cheeks. One hx Since the boys have had the opportunity of seeing so many boats on the bay and the lake all year round, many are interested in making models of the boats they have seen. These boats are made and painted during the club sessions. Some of these boats are made for sailing while others are mounted for display. Of course, not all of the boys are interested in making boats, some boys are interested in repair- ing and remaking different articles which they have brought from home. Many boys bring files to repair while others bring small tables to be repaired and refinished. One boy who is planning to enter the Soap Box Derby which is held in Erie every summer, has brought the materials for his racer to school. During the club session, suggestions are made by the club members to make his car a better racer. These and many other projects show that any type of woodworking may be practiced during these hobby periods. earning eruice gain! The lunior Girl Reserve Club was organized two years ago for the benefit of the girls in the seventh, eighth and ninth grades. The Girl Reserve Club is not a new club at Strong Vincent, it was organized at Central High School and then brought to Strong Vincent. Because this club made no provision for the students in Junior High School, a Iunior Girl Reserve Club was organized. This organization is open to all girls who are willing to accept the purposes for which the club was organized. Under the direction of Miss Marion Van Natta and Mrs. Maude M. Brockway, this club attempts to balance social activities with service and discussion meetings. Three out of every ten girls in the lunior High Schools have joined the club this year. The new members were formally initiated at the Induction Ceremony held in the Girl Reserve Room at the Y. W. C. A. at the beginning of the semester. At this recognition service, the girls were received into the club after they had repeated the pledge of the Girl Reserve Club. Meetings are held every other Tuesday. These meetings are conducted by the president of the club, lean Graham. ln the absence of the pres- ident, vice president Louise Wilson carries on. The minutes of the previous meeting are read by secretary Betty Burnett. The dues, amounting to ten cents a semester, are collected by treasurer Marilyn Ferris. A talk by Miss Elizabeth Meirs, the Girl Reserve Secretary of the Y. W. C. A., work for the Visiting Nurse's Association, taking part in the Hanging of the Greens at the Y. W. C. A. at Christmas time and several parties, show how the program of activities and service is balanced.

Eaton, P. ne hundred one n wifA fhe .gzowf The curtain has fallen on another product of the One Act Play Club. They have once more produced a successful play which has been acclaimed by the student body. The One Act Play Club was formed in 1937 under the direction of Miss Peters and Miss Warfel. These two teachers have spent their free periods rehearsing and directing plays. Several times there have been student directors who did their best to attain the success that Miss Peters and Miss Warfel have always attained. The purpose of the club is to create a better realization of life and to stimulate student interest intdramatics and the stage. The club has a very small cabinet composed of officers and advisers, but it is very efficient. President is Clara Detzel, Secretary, loanne Schnur, and Treasurer, Tack Vincent. All these cabinet members also take part in the plays and do their best to make the club a success. During the year they have produced several plays such as Bread, which was the story of a farm family struggling to get enough money to afford one luxuryfa piano. Many complications arose and in the end the money was spent for a tractor, the need for bread proving more essential than the desire for beauty. 'TA Nephew in the House was a comedy in which three maiden aunts accept the care of their sister's child whom they think is a boy but really is a girl. To change their opinion about boys and to make herself welcome, the young girl dresses as a boy and acts rough and rowdy. She uses slang, and it isn't any time at all before she has the aunts wishing for a girl. High Heart, one of the best plays ever given by the club, was the story of young Sam Davis, a spy for the Confederacy. The acting was very good and the conclusion of the play left you with a touch of sadness in your heart because of the fate that Sam Davis meets. Because there is no provision in our regular curriculum for dramatics, the One Act Play Club has filled a real need in providing for some dramatic activity for those students who welccme this opportunity to try out their wings and prove that all the world's a stage.

' One hundred two Curfain oing Perhaps some students wonder, during as- sembly programs, who puts up the scenery for plays, arranges the curtains for rallies and other assemblies. The explanation is a simple one. The stage crew under the supervision of Mr. Shanor attends to these tasks. lust imagine what an as- sembly would be like without this group, lights would go on and off at the wrong times, the public address system would not function properly, perhaps there would be no scenery at all. Not a very flattering episode to have occur in an ef- ficiently run school. Becoming a member of the stage crew means hours of hard work for the boys as well as their adviser, for they not only take care of regular school assemblies, but they also make the stage ready for the musical comedy, carnival auditorium show, class play and concerts. By belonging to the stage crew, a boy not only offers a valuable service to the school, but he also gains much valuable experience. .740 ay, yeade Strong Vincent can justly boast of her fine group of ushers. Under the faculty direction of genial Mr. Shanor, these boys guard the auditorium doors during all assemblies, seeing that they are opened quietly for late comers. They also find seats for visitors and those whose assigned seats are taken by some one else. Resplendent in white jackets and black bow ties, these same boys attend all special school functions, performing the same services for our parents and friends in the evening as they do for us during the day. Many strangers go away from a performance on the Vincent stage, having enjoyed it to the maximum because they were spared the confusion of finding their seats. These same strangers take away with them a lasting im- pression of the typical Vincent Student gained from our courteous, efficient ushers. To these boys we owe our lasting thanks for their services to us and to the fair name of Strong Vincent. STAGE CREW: Curtain going up-McKay, Herron, Glazier, Waterman and Tidd work the switch board.

The candid shot at the bottom shows one of the speakers in the debate against West Millcreek, uriinedd ofagorafory Five years ago, the Commercial Club was organized to assist the business students in acquir- ing a background of oftice practice. Amusing skits are presented at the monthly meetings. These are very beneficial to the students because they show the right and wrong manner of business conduct. During the year, two purely social pro- grams are planned-in December, there is a Christmas party and in l une, a picnic. Elections are held yearly in the Fall. This year the officers are: Lorraine Hannon, President, Clara Detzel, Vice President, Violet Mae Karaisz, Secretary, and Virginia Gensheimer, Treasurer, the faculty adviser is Miss Forsberg. rguing wifA a urloofie Resolved: That the Federal Government should own and operate the railroads. This is the debate question for l939wl94O. The Vincent debating club which is a member of the Forensic League follows a busy schedule. During the year it must meet Girard, West Millcreek, North East, Lawrence Park, Erie East, and schools in the Lake Erie Debating League in discussion of the resolved question. The final debate, in which only the debater of each school receiving the highest vote participates, takes place at Allegheny College in April. The members ot the Vincent affirmative team are: Maxine Carlson, Bettie Livermore, and Merle Fry. The alternate is Edith Lavery. The members ot the negative team are: loyce Coleman, One hundred four Lillian Necci, and lack Schaffner. Allan Nelson is alternate. Under the guidance and criticism of Mr. Pratt, who is the faculty adviser and president of the Forensic League, the club meets every Friday during sixth period. The club officers are: Presi- dent, lack Schaffnerp Vice President, Merle Fry, and Secretary, lean Schanbacher. The Debating Club was organized at Central High School by Mr. Brockway. He was succeeded by Mr. Pratt, whom Mr. Anderson followed. When Mr. Anderson was promoted to assistant principal, the press of his new work compelled him to resign, and Miss Warfel succeeded him. Five years ago, Mr. Pratt again took over the club and is still adviser and critic. One hundred five BOOKKEEPING CLUB-Row 1: Brennan, Behringer, Gardner, Mead, Anderson, Humes, Shepley, Scarpino.

Bookkeeping club gets a glimpse of industry at the Boston Store. Crechfri ana! ibegiffi Vincent commercial students formed a new organization in October to be known as The Book- keeping Club. They elected the following officers: President, William Andersong Vice President, Margery Holden, Secretary, Phyllis Humes, Treasurer, Robert Sheply. Chairmen were also appointed to head the various committees. The purpose of the club is to acquire a val- uable knowledge of business. Through class dis- cussions and conferences with professional people, the members try to develop business ability and obtain general office information. Recently the club met at The Erie Thrift Corporation for a field trip which proved very beneficial as it brought the students in direct contact with the business world, Qui' .sjllleefefff gory Though few in number, their charming sales- manship, personalities, and delightful offerings mark them as one of Vincent's most useful organi- zations. They deserve not only our grateful ap- preciation and patronage but more important, they need the active support of a few more girls who will give their services to this method of raising funds for the Student Council. Every night after school, these girls give fifteen minutes of their time to this work. They always have a choice selection of the most pleasing confections, they satisfy a need just when it is most felt, and with the very con- siderable amount of money thus earned they help to make it possible for our band and choir to appear as the most attractive and best equipped of Erie's high schools. lust three girls have given the required time and effort to carry on this work the past year and to them we owe our sincere thanks. They have achieved excellent results from this service. we uOomla H 0 incenf It takes something more than the score board to tell the full story of Strong Vincent's glorious city football championship. A marvelous spirit of school loyalty made the Colonels stand out as a team that could win against odds that had been considered insurmountable. Though its history is the shortest of any of the Erie High Schools, Vincent has built up among its students an en- thusiastic devotion to their Alma Mater. The skill and fire of our trained cheerleaders has been a powerful factor in developing this wonderful spirit. In the Fall, the experienced leaders prepare for the games by practicing after school, three even- ings each week, in the Girls Gym. In the Spring, others try out for places among the cheerleaders, and those who show the most talent are selected. These cheerleaders are also a social group and have many delightful gatherings. Our student body makes plenty of noise, and shows tremendous enthusiasm in the Stadium, when We meet teams from other schools in athletic contests. Everyone has noticed the eager re- sponse from the students to the guidance of their trained leaders. We hear not the shrieks of a mob but rather the magnificent cadences of a titanic choir carrying to the men on the field Vincent's unconquerable spirit. Too much credit can never be given for this work. It requires self-sacrifice and tireless effort: but it certainly brings results.

The popularity of the picture magazines bear out this saying and we bore it in mind when we planned our 1940 Spokesman.

Sighs of relief were heard from all students and teachers who helped to make this annual Council-sponsored activity a huge success. All evening the halls were crowded with laughing, excited students, their friends, and their families. From seven o'olock until eleven the barkers screamed, each trying to see who could attract the biggest crowd to come and buy his wares. This year the sideshows were better than ever. Almost every homeroom sponsored some project-M perhaps a sideshow, perhaps selling candy, balloons, ice cream, or flowers. When Council A quartet of Syncopaters: Horton, Wright, Young, and Martin had the audience calling lor more as they gave everything they had to the tantalizing music . . . A sideshow that really proved to be a sideshow was the Television set, demonstrated by John DeWitt . . . A pretty as well as clever chorus of tap dancers was Betty Wagner, Doris Christen- son, and Jean Holland . . . Acrobatic dancing at its best was demonstrated by Pat McCune as she executes a particularly undertakes to sponsor a carnival each year, it is taking for granted that all students will do their parts. Never yet have the students of Strong Vincent failed to make this assumption come true. lngenious ideas are concocted and planned until they take their final form. One home room had a television set worked out that they guaranteed was not phoney-to the surprise of everyone, it wasn't. Another homeroom put on a very interesting Hobby Show showing many valuable collections of our hobbyists. Every sideshow was cleverly put on and well worth the money. The Auditorium Show was hilarious. There were singers, tap dancers, waltzers, a barbershop difficult routine in the Auditorium Show . . .

Much work went into this modern production. Early in the school year a Class Play Committee was appointed to select a play suitable for a high school. On this committee were Valerie Henneous, lane Schuwerk, Elda Mae Myers, and lack Vincent, who did an excellent job. As the play Went into the final stages, other committees were appointed to do last minute tasks. Ann McElroy and Martha Hall served on the Properties Committee. Marion Darsie was Prompter. Robert Everhart played sound effects man, assisted by Robert Barclay. DeLana Taft and Gladys Robinson helped to gather all necessary costumes together. A large crowd received R.U.R. with en- thusiasm. All players and committee members deserve much praise for all their hard work. N The robots have conguerorecl us! This is the dreadful cry that is wrung from the lips of the distinguished scientist, Mr. Allquist, as he realizes too late what has happened to the machine- made men he has created. Standing from left to right are: Robots Bob Ash- worth, Clarence Blasco, Allister Brimmer, Ralph Wheeler, Elda Mae Myers, William Smith, Jack Hamil, and Bill Donaldson. Lying on the floor: Charles Owen. With the aid of five of his friends, Mr. Allguist has made robots so like human beings that all they lack are hearts. These six have built a factory from which they ship these robots to all parts of the world. But the robots gradually begin to feel emotions, resent being machine made slaves, and begin to rebel and kill all human beings, until they finally rebel on the little island where they are made. Too late they realize that they need men to make them. Mr. Allguist is saved from death because he had prepared the formula. The robots do not know it has been destroyed and that Mr. Allquist can not remember it. He finally finds the solution in two robots who are in love with each other. Because of their love, they will save the world. Insert: Miss Doris Pirnley, director of R.U.R.

P055 0111 2Cl,I'f A successful musical comedy was brought to a close on Friday night March 8, under the direction of Mr. and Mrs. Lee Winters. The story revolves around a girl, Terry Ames, played by Marjorie Morton, who, bored with life at a select boarding school, runs away to a l'T1O1I'l9l farm. She solves her la ed b Ed problem by happily marrying the farmer, p y y Gallagher . . .

Those who join in the Virginia Reel are: Iacovette, Strachan, Leone, Boam, DiLuca, Frank, Benson, Liden, Reynolds, Nye, Jewell, Dillon, Koeck, Douglas, Meyer. . . Singing for their break- fast are: Gallagher, Ding, the dog, Davis, James, and Thayer . . . The College Girls: MacElroy, Morton, Knob- loch, Zell, Hersberger, Smith, Shreve, Griffin, and Cleveland are caught dead to rights by the matron of the boarding school and lerry's mother: Fiero and Schnur, when making forbidden fudge in lerry's room. One hundred eighteen lerry, disguised as a boy in order to make a safe escape, meets several new friends on the farm. As a wandering boy, Tillie, Bill Smith's housekeeper's daughter, played by Sally Thayer, falls desperately in love with her. Tillie's boy friend, Hector, played by Evans Davis, Vincent's ace comedian, provides the comedy action. Hector, a big, rawsboned farm hand is always in trouble with Tillie's mother, capably played by Patty James. When Ierry was still at school, she and several of her close school friends wrote some love letters they had made up. By coincidence, lerry's love letter reached Bill Smith at whose farm she is trying to get work. She had signed her own name to it and had also given her real name to Bill Smith. He put two and two together and decided that this boy who had come to him was really a girl. Once he dis- covered this, he immediately began to fall in love with her and .lerry had meantime fallen in love with him. Hector, meanwhile, was being lulled into the thoughts of marriage by love sick Tillie, in spite cf her mother's objec- tion and his wandering eyes for other girls. ferry had to reveal her true identity to Tillie to ward off her violent love making. When lerry was kidnaped by the janitor cf the board- ing school from which she had run away, who only wanted back the pants lerry had stolen from him for her disguise, it was Tillie who broke the news that lerry was a girl. While Bill was organizing a searching party, lerry came back dragging the janitor by a rope. Bill asked lerry to marry him and she accepted. While lerry was absent, Bill had called her mother who, with the matron of the school and four of lerry's friends, arrive at this moment to take lerry back. But when Mrs. Ames finds they are in love she gives her consent to the marriage, in spite of the disapproval expressed by the matron, but much to the joy of all 'lerry's friends. A very original and clever chorus were the Skeletons. Musical comedies are renowned for the choruses of pretty girls, but it is a welcome change to see a boys' chorus such as the Skeletons. Phosphorescense skeletons painted on black suits produced an eerie effect in the total darkness in which the boys went through their routine. Taking part in this chorus were: Whitney, Raygor, Davison, Lund, Baldwin, Brockway, Davis, Loose . . .

The committee was capably guided by Miss lda Warfel and Mr. lack Lewis, member of the staff at the Erie Playhouse, who directed the play. Under lames Hess, student chairman, the com- mittee, composed of Evans Davis, Alton Raygor, Charles Barbour, Kathleen Levis, Bill Donaldson, Sara Myers, and loAnn Schnur, decided on Brother Rat.

It was due them, you see, to favor the omen that a man should cross the family door sill first on New Year's. The old stable has made way for a two tractor garageg the pail of oats has passed to make room for a drum of gasoline, the old sled has long since crumbled to its metal parts and those rusted away, and the party line has brought the whole neighborhood to the dining room wall. Still, once a year human neighborliness calls for the handshake of auld lang syne . The world is smaller in a way, but our circle of friendship is ever so much larger than great-grandfather's. To reach afar we harness the little red portrait of George Washington, and our message goes easily and quickly through doorways in the next town or across the continent. The holiday letter and the seasonal greeting- thanks to paper and papermakers tic tl c ' ' friends. Hammermill f Erie, Pe .T1 l llil-1 l- ' 1940 ,E-.
