EDISON HIGH SCHOOL I94I Mr. Arthur Drown Dedication One day toward the close of last Nov- ember the students, teachers, and community of Elmira Heights were saddened by the death of their friend Arthur Brown.

He was elected to the Board of Education in May 1933 which office he held continuously un- til his death Novewber l7, 1940.

I hadn't been back to Elmira Heights since the summer I left after graduation. As we slowed down, coming into the station, I realized that something was going on. It certainly was. From where I was seated I could see the station platform clearly. It was a wonderful sight. Theodore Moss paraded his brass band up to the tracks. What a band it was! I recognized Leo Rose and Donald Hughey be- hind big horns but most of the players were unfamiliar to me. Just as my curiosity was getting the best of me, a crowd of people came from around the station. Seated in a large open car was Rodger Sykes and Kenneth Sweeney and above them floated a banner NSenator Sykes goes to Washing- tonn. Now the secret was out. In spite of Rodger, Kenneth was doing the talking. He was mak- ing a very touching farewell speech. It was then that I sensed that I should have said Mayor Sweeney was talking. As I looked about me, I saw Frances Waytina talking baby-talk to a little girl, Donald Forrest supporting Mr. Mandel on his right arm, Eugene Phillips and Robert Higgin- botham were getting out of a streamlined May's milk truck. Agnes Paluch and Dorothy Unruh were trying to keep a group of school children in order, and over to the left was a group of women talking. It didn't take me long to recognize Florence.Guidus, Tekla Sekella, Marjorie Burroughs, Dorothy Button, and Marian Cunningham in that group. As I glanced over to my right, I was over- joyed to see Mr. Northrop, Thomas Sabran, William Popovich, and John Alcock boarding the train. I found out later that they were going to New York and all were big professional basketball men. In the meantime events had taken place at the mayor's car. Dennis Mowchan and Louis Steege had driven up in a second car. From their uneasy actions, it was clear to me that they were secre- tary and lawyer to Senator Sykes. My, but so much had happened during my absence. At this time three teachers, Betty Jane Ackley, Betty Kroczynski, and Helen Balash presented a token to Rodger Keith Matanle, the president of the school board made a speech. Anna Kaul presented a bouguet from Walter Merri1l's Florist Shop. Bertha Marie Vetter and her secretary, Betty MacBlane, paid Sophia Kroczynski and Gene Ladd their respects to Senator Sykes from the 4H Club. The band played a selection and toward the end the conductor of the train called NAll Aboardn. I thought I recognized.the voice and I turned around to see Charles Emmick. Then the train pulled out slowly for New York leaving a weepy, waving crowd. Just before leaving the station, I purchased a newspaper from a boy who was going through the cars. It was a Height's Gazette edited by Frederick Larispn whose business manager was Pau- line Ball. The paper was very newsy. The headlines read USykes goes to Washingtonu and NGordon Egan goes to Hollywoodu. I had heard that Gordon Egan was in pictures but I had thought he was still doing HHenry Aldrichn. As I read his write-up, I sensed a certain touch peculiar of only one person. Certainly Francis Gustin must be Gordon's professor manager. On the society page was a,large picture of Margaret Shull, now wife of a famous professor. Margaret had given a tea in honor of Marilyn Hamula who had just been made manager of a branch office of the American Ham Co. Among the out-of-town guests were Norma Colson, Erma Jane Hazel, and Helen Fecich. On the same page was a notice that the Pastuzak. I put away the paper distinguished looking man about to him: NVat time you tink, ve get Of course I recognized him Married Women's Club would meet at the home of the former Frances and glanced around the coach. Down front on my left sat a very the same time the conductor came through and this gentleman said to New York? I vant to see my Maryn. then. It was Stanley Dockstader. I went over to him and we had a good chat. Stanley was an engineer settled in New York. Just as we were comfortably seated, smoking our pipes, a crying child ran down the aisle with its mother in pursuit. We recognized Zula Platt immediately. She was very glad to see us and told us about some of our classmates. were doing social work in Chicago, Robert Hovencamp was a big rancher out West. Emily and Mildred Seymour owned and ran a large tea room outside of Rochester, and Anna Obuhanich was a dancing teacher in Los Angeles. Zula left us as we-neared New York. Stanley and I were having dinner at the same hotel, the one which Carlton Wheeler managed, so we left the train together and hailed a taxi. After all I had seen and heard, the day could bring no more surprises, but it did. The taxi driver turned to ask us our destination and it was Fred Carter staring at us. Fred owned the cab company, so he gave us a free ride to the hotel. As we drove up to the doorway,,I glanced into the hotel Beauty Salon and there were Phyllis Farnsworth and Norma Patelunas waving to us. We stopped to talk. As we did, two very lovely 180185 passed us. Recognizing them, we called Kath- erine Rogus said she was a model at Macy's Department Store and Eva Dekoschak was the personnel director. We were talking over the events of the days and I was wondering what had happened to Senator Sykes and his party when they arrived. Our meeting was so pleasant that all of us de- cided to have dinner together and take in a musical comedy later. The music from the dining room was soft and sweet, and there, holding the baton, was its leader, William Aber. When he saw us, the drummer burst into a Gene Krupa affect and we turned to see Richard Bills at his best. With a wave of the baton, Bill silenced Richard and we took our places. The musical comedy had been a big hit on Broadway and we knew why. Jennie Kaiser was the western singer, Jean Deery and Sophia Hryskanich were star ballet dancers, and Ernest Gumtow was a professional trick pool player. We enjoyed the show very much and were sorry to have to leave so soon. Nevertheless Senator Sykes and I had to make the Washington plane. It had been an eventful day. The Senator and I were very tired and were hoping for a rest- ful trip into the Capital. We were trying to make ourselves comfortable when the air hostess, Lena Custic offered us pillows. She said we would take off soon. At that time the pilot,.Peter Tarby, went through to the front, and the Senator and I relaxed for we knew we were in safe hands Half in slumber and half awake, I pondered over She day just past. It was a pleasant coincident, my being on that very train to New York. 2 ? M 'sf-za.

These losses did not affect our season very much, however, thanks to the skillful training of Coach Northrop and his assistants, Terry and Ano. Although most of the players were inexperienced, they developed fast and were ready for their first battle, September 28, which was the Bath game, generally considered one of the hardest of the year. Bath overpowered the Heights with a score of twenty to nothing. With the spirit of good sportsmanship and plenty of enthusi- asm, the team started building up for the game with Horseheads. The Heights overpowered them six to nothing. After taking Watkins Glen, 26-6, and Waverly, the Heights team was defeated in a night game played at Sayre by a score of six to nothing. By conquering Painted Post, the team was tied for first place with Owego. But at Owego our team was swamped by a score of forty-one to nothing. This game ended the season.
