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
