Webster Central High School - Reveille Yearbook (Webster, NY)

Text from Pages 1 - 112 of the 1931 volume:

Foreword Z usjother year has sped by on the “wings of time and another Senior Class stands at the threshold of life, awaiting admittance. Yet, before we leave, we present to you, our friends, this Reveille. May it be a fitting record of the activities carried on in Webster High School during the past year and, more especially, a lasting memorial of the four years which we, the Senior Class, spent in Webster High — years filled with memories as colorful, as rich and, to us, as precious as a medieval tapestry. BOARD OF EDUCATION WILLIAM JAYNE CARL WOOSTER GEORGE H. WITMER W. G. YOUNG PETER G. SMITH A ppreciation e, the class of ’31, in presenting our annual publication, the Reveille, wish to express to the Board of Education our sincerest appreciation for the efforts they have so freely expended. We say a hearty “Thank you at this time for the financial assistance as well as for the educational advantages which they have given to us, the Class of ’31 Page Eight Page Nine WEBSTER HIGH SCHOOL ma ater Where the Ridge Road forms a border, For the lake and sky; Proudly stands our Alma Mater, Dear old Webster High . CHORUS Flag of W. H. S. float for aye, Old Webster High o ' er thee; May thy sons be leal and loyal To thy memory. When the evening twilight deepens And the shadows fall, Lingers long the golden sunset On thy western wall. MISS KNIGHT Dedication We, the class of ’31, dedi- cate to Miss Knight, our class advisor, this year’s Reveille in recognition of her untiring efforts in our behalf. Her concern in our scholastic attain- ment, her personal supervision of our play and other extra-curricular activities, and her interest in the welfare of each student has been greatly appreciated. Our gratitude is far greater than it is within our poor power to express. Page Eleven mm Faculty Motes Robert L. Thomas, Supervising Principal SENIOR AND JUNIOR HIGH Mary G. Knight Marie F.

Social events have been many and varied but with one general characteristic, that of being im- mensely enjoyed by all. We are sorry to lose six members at the end of this year. To Caroline Blackmer, Hugh Vander- hoof, Aimee Terry, Christine Newberry, Mildred Harris, and Anna Safford, we reluctantly say, Goodbye. Our best wishes go with them for success and happiness. Their successors will be, Mildred Miller, Theodore C. Day, Mildred Barnes, Edith Brutzman, Esther DeFisher and Louise Adams. Page Thirteen Mrewell to Webster I ligh No poem done by humble pen Words rhymed by finite brain. Can fully tell the feeling That our saddened hearts contain. Four years we ' ve spent within your walls, Four happy, happy years, But now the thought that all is o’er Just can’t help but bring tears. Immortal shall the memory be Of Webster High school life, The joys, the sorrows we have had Shall linger through every strife. Our turn has come to say farewell, To take our places in the world And as we go we pledge ourselves Webster High’s banner shall ne’er be furled. We may not gain much worldly goods, Nor men our names acclaim; There ' s wealth that’s richer far than gold, And love is higher far than fame. You ' ve taught us this outside of books This in our hearts and souls will ‘bide. To make us worthy of your name Dear School, to which we say, Good-bye.’’ Page Fourteen Page Fifteen D L.

The officers for the first year were: the Presidents, Ida Gnagc and William Sherman; Vice-Presidents, William Sherman and Margaret Kellman; Secretaries, Dorothy Tozier and Gertrude Doyle; Treasurer, Edward Paul; and Advisor, Miss Parshall. The class colors chosen were green and gold. During this year our boys showed their great talent in the presentation of a Minstrel Show given for the benefit of the piano fund. In 1928, the class officers were: President, William Sherman; Vice-President, Thelma Kuhn; Secretary, Blanche Kuhnmunch; Treasurer, Edward Paul. Our class advisor was Mrs. Thomas. This year both the boys ' and the girls’ basketball teams won the Interclass Championship. Our play, A Perplexing Situation was a great success and added a considerable amount of money to the treasury. In 1929, the Junior Class, numbering fifty-seven, assembled in Miss Stone ' s room. Officers were chosen as follows: President, Grant Somerville; Vice-President, Thelma Kuhn; Secretaries, Alice Portukalian and Gertrude Doyle; Treasurer, Carl Brucker. Our girls won the Interclass Basketball Championship again this year. The Junior play, It Happened in June, not only displayed the dramatic talent of the class, but also added money to the treasury. The Junior Prom was also very successful. During our Junior year the class of ' 31 was well represented in the various activities of Webster High School. Hugh Mason served as Football Manager while Elmer Hilfiker and James Barnard acted as assistant Basketball Managers. Ruth Schwenzcr held the position of Girls ' Basketball Manager, assisted by Gladys Morgan. As Juniors we were prominent in the Students’ Association for the Vice-President, William Sherman and the Secretary, Gertrude Wilbert were both Juniors. The year 1930-31, saw a large group of students gathered in Room 28. With the help of Miss Knight, we chose an efficient staff of officers who led us successfully through the year. Hugh Mason was chosen President; William Rothfuss, Vice-President; Gertrude Wilbert, Secretary; Carl Brucker, Treasurer. Our greatest problem was to raise funds for the Washington trip. The money in the treasury was greatly increased by selling candy, Christmas cards and subscriptions to Curtis Pub- lications. The Senior play, Alabama Bound, was a great success and added a large sum to our bank account. However, we have had fun as well as work. With the money gained from all our labor, some of us enjoyed the Washington trip while the others had nearly as good a time at a theater party at the Palace Theatre. Our Hallowe ' en party, held at the home of Marian Hermancc, was enjoyed by all who attended. The last event of the year was the Senior Ball given in May. Now hasn’t the class of 1931 been a great success? Page Twenty-four Friday, Apr. 3 Saturday, Apr. 4 Sunday, Apr. 5 Monday, Apr. 6 Tuesday, Apr. 7 Wednesday, Apr. 8 Thursday, Apr. 9 Friday, Apr. W Saturday, Apr. 11 A Washingt on Diary All set for Washington. Left the Lehigh Valley station at 8:45 A.M. What a time on the train! Just loads of fun. The weather was nice until we crossed the Pennsylvania border then how it did rain! Arrived in the big city at 8:15, and then obtained our never to be forgotten impression of Washington. The Grand Union Station, the beautiful lighted dome of the Capitol, and the busy wireless streets all pleased us. 7:45 A.M. That ' s earlier than we get up at home. But what funl Spent a good night, although twelve times we were awakened by the beautiful mu- sic of the fire siren. Went to Mt. Vernon, where we had our pictures taken. Then went to Alexandria and visited places of interest there. Then to the National and Smithsonian museums. Were just about starved so ate our dinner before attempting to climb the Washington monument. From the monument, went to the Lincoln Memorial and then took a 35c cab to the hotel. That evening enjoyed the theatre party given by Mr. Thomas. What time did we get to bed? Happy Easter. It was a beautiful morning — it rained. Everybody went to church. Who says nickel cabs are cheap? In the afternoon we went by bus to the Franciscan monastery and the Zoological Park. That evening we went by trolley to visit the Congressional Library. We went through the U. S. Capitol and visited the House and Senate wings. Then we were honored by a handshake with Vice-President Curtis. From thence we revisited the Congressional Library and ate our lunch there. In the after- noon we went by bus to Annapolis where we visited the United States Naval Academy. As usual it rained. From Annapolis we returned to our hotel where we spent the evening. Were taken by bus through Washington ' s residential section and then to Ar- lington Cemetery, where the tomb of the unknown soldier is located. Again it rained. Returned from Arlington about 11 :00 o ' clock and visited the White House. In the afternoon visited the Bureau of Engraving and Printing, Pan American Building, Corcoran Art Gallery, Red Cross Buildings and D. A R Buildings- We also visited the wharf where Byrd’s famous ship and dogs were. In the evening our ’’chap (Miss Esther Dunn), gave a theatre party to her charges. Goodbye, Washington. Taken by bus to the Union Station and thence by train to Baltimore. Enjoyed a sightseeing trip through Baltimore, following which we were taken to the wharf. At 5:00 o ' clock that evening were settled in our staterooms abroad the steamship, The City of Richmond. Last call for breakfast 6:15- Were we sleepy? We had had a nice trip on the boat. No one was seasick. Docked at West Point, Virginia at 7:30 A.M. and then were transferred by railroad to Richmond, Virginia. Took a sightseeing trip about the city. Stops made at the interesting places. From there we went to Williamsburg, Virginia, where we lunched. Then a sightseeing trip through the city and the William and Mary College. Thence to Jamestown Island and Yorktown. What did we sec in Cornwallis’s Cave? That evening left Yorktown via Chesapeake Steamship Line and arrived at Baltimore at 8:23 the next morning. Went to Philadelphia. Took a sightseeing trip about the city terminating at Hotel Benjamin Franklin. That afternoon our party dividedjfour of us went to Valley Forge, the others to the Curtis Publishing Company and Wanamak- er ' s store. At 8:00 P.M. left Philadelphia by train for Rochester. Arrived in Rochester at 6:15. We were tired but we had enjoyed every minute of the time . Page Twenty-five ■ r , i-i 1- H - r - HM -h Page Twenty-six JUNIOR CLASS T • NJ unior -Hotes President .Robert Hockenberger Vice-President ........ . , Samuel Foster Secretary Carlton Collins Treasurer Gerald Hartung Advisor Miss Stone Here we are, the class of ' 32, the Seniors of next year, the future rulers of the realm of Webster High School. In other words, here are the Juniors. As Juniors we have had a busy and successful year. Our Junior Prom was given during the first semester, and everyone who attended had a good time. In March we gave our play, It Happened in Hollywood, which was, in the opinion of others besides the Juniors, the hit of the year, thanks to Mr. Colburn, who directed it. Through these two social activities, and by selling candy at noon, we have succeeded in enlarging our treasury by quite a sum. We have several people in our class who have stepped forward into the limelight. Robert Hockenberger, popularly known as Hocky, is vice-president of the Students’ Associa- tion, went to Syracuse as a delegate of the Sportsmanship Brotherhood, and is an all around athlete. Nellie Du Bois is the girl who made the forwards on the opposing team work hard if they expected to keep the ball and make a basket. Others in our Hall of Fame are Margaret Kellman, better known as Peg a basketball star; Lucille Miller, who sings a mean alto; Elbert Finn, who is seen thoughtfully chewing a wisp of hay, as he studies his Ag. books to find out why cows are cows and not horses, or something; Wil- son Johncox and Robert O ' dell, our freaks; Caroline Bonenblust, Marguerite Hart, and Lois Wright, our artists, who talk intellectually of art and artists, of color and light, until, very strangely, the rest of us become tongue-tied; Marion Bowman and Rita Krenzer, our intellectual giants, and Carl- ton Collins, who is in a class all by himself. Although there are 62 of us. Miss Stone rules us like a captain at the helm. Its usually stormy weather in her opinion. Just as examples to prove our worth, the girls of the Junior class never talk when they shouldn ' t, unless they think of something they want to say; and the boys have a pas- sionate fondness for cleaning erasers, especially on fellow students. Well, really, if our modesty doesn’t suffocate us, someone else will, so goodbye until next year, when we shall, the Board of Regents willing, be full-fledged Seniors.

In October when the carnival was held the members of the Class of ' 34 gave their generous support and one of the members won the ticket selling prize. At Thanksgiving time a party, chaperoned by Miss Hallam and Mr. Colburn, was held at the home of Elizabeth Walters. The party was a complete success. The class treasury was enlarged by a magazine contest, conducted between two sides which were captained by Margaret Watson and Paul Wackerow. We are happy to say that several of our members have taken part in the School ' s athletic ac- tivities during the year. It will be but a few weeks before the present occupants of Room 22 will take another big step toward their goal which is not so very far away. Page Thirty-one 1 ) 1 r 11 1,1 ill i 1 % 5 ?

Suits were given out and practice was started immediately in an effort to round out a team. Due to graduation last year, seven regulars were lost and the first practice found only six lettermen and four regulars reporting. On September 27th, Webster played its first game with Cook Academy. This game was played with little hope of victory, but more to gain experience for a green team. As was expected the Web- ster boys took a bad beating from the Prep school team and came home on the short end of a 54-0 score. Clyde followed for an easy victory and a hard fought game with Newark yielded a 7-0 win. The following Friday, Webster played a scoreless tie with East Rochester, in the middle of a heavy downpour. The next week, Webster avenged its only defeat of its 1930 Championship team by trimming Palmyra high 21-0 in a shortened game of only twenty-eight minutes. Two weeks later our old rival Fairport was played at Fairport. Both teams scored a touchdown, but Webster ' s was overruled by the officials and the try for extra point was not granted. This gave Fairport a 6-0 victory. However, the officials ' decision was brought up before a board of referees and declared unfair. The following week a playoff was held on the same field and, in spite of a 65 yard run by Schrader on the opening kick-off and the fine all around playing of Captain Somerville, Fairport nosed out a 7-6 victory. Next year’s team will greatly miss Coach Hugh Vanderhoof. During the last two years ' of his coaching his team has won eight games and tied three out of fourteen starts, his 1930 team winning the first football championship ever won for Webster High School.

Eight men, including five lettermcn from the previous season, received first team suits and practice was started immediately. Webster was entered in a newly formed eight team Monroe County League which included Brockport and Brighton High Schools plus the six teams from the original league. On November 27th, Webster held its first game with East High School at the new Benjamin Franklin School in a three game meet. Webster forced the city team to a hard game only to be nosed out by a 22-21 score. The following week the League opened with Fairport High and lasted through February 27th. At the end of the season Webster found itself in the upper half landing in fourth place.

After many weeks of hard training under Miss Safford, our new coach, a team squad of twelve girls was chosen. Many of last year ' s players were out again this year: Peg Kellman, Bert Wahl, Scotty, Alice Fox and Nellie DuBois. Before our first league game, which was with Fairport, we elected Bert Wahl, captain. At the close of the season Peg” Kellman was elected captain for the coming year. We were fortunate in obtaining our new suits for the Alumni game and it was a very neat look- ing team that went on the floor that night. At the end of our successful season the team was presented with a trophy hearing the following inscription: Girls ' Basketball Championship Monroe County won by Webster High School 1930-31 presented by Harold I.

An early spring and good weather conditions brought an early call for practice from Coach Nelson Wood and regular workouts were held during all of Easter vacation. Six lettermen reported for the first practice, including a veteran battery of Markell, Smith and Hill. On April 8th, a practice game was played with the University of Rochester ' s Varsity team with Coach Nelson Wood in the box for the high school team. His good pitching with the timely hits of the rest of the team en- abled Webster to earn a 4-2 victory over the University outfit. Two victories were scored over Irondequoit in the following week with Smith and Markell doing the twirling. East High was the next victim and an easy 5-1 victory was scored by the good pitching of Markell and timely hits by the team. The league opened on April 24, with Brighton, and the Webster boys have a good chance and high hopes of repeating last year ' s record. Positions Pitchers A.

Page Fifty-one Athletic Coaches MR. HUGH VANDERHOOF Ir is with reluctance that the student body bids farewell to Mr. Vanderhoof. During the two years he has been at Webster High School he has very ably filled his position as history teacher and football coach. Due to his capable training, our team won the championship of Monroe County in 1929, an unusual honor for W. H. S. Possessed of a pleasing personality and a fine spirit of co- operation in all school activities, Mr. Vanderhoof has endeared himself to the entire student body. We shall miss you, Mr. Vander- hoof. We wish you all the success possible in your new endeavor. Au revoir and Godspeed MISS ANNA SAFFORD And here is the worthy coach of the girls ' team! She, during her one year of teaching at Webster High, has instilled in each player a love of sportsmanship and clean play. Under her untiring efforts the basketball team brought glory to our school in the win- ning of the Monroe County Championship. The student body deeply regrets the fact that Miss Safford will leave us this year. And so. Miss Safford, we say goodbye to you and thank you for your wonderful cooperation, wishing you the best of success in your future undertaking. MR. NELSON WOOD Two years ago Mr. Wood entered the portals of Webster High School as the science teacher and basketball and baseball coach. During this short time he has freely spent himself in accomplishing a great amount of work both in the classroom and on the athletic field. His primary achievement has been his successful leadership of our boys in clean play and true sportsmanship. In 1930 his team brought honors to our Alma Mater by winning the Monroe Countv Championship in baseball. We want you to know, Mr. Wood, that the student body is conscious of your fine cooperation and ser- vice rendered in all our school activities. We arc glad that you arc returning for the coming school year.

The following officers were elected: President William Sherman Vice-President Robert Hockenberger Secretary Rivera Newill Treasurer Miss Knight These officers capably sponsored several activities during the school year. The first of these was the Community Carnival. This first enterprise was a great success due to the combined efforts of the faculty and the student body. The Cabinet of the Students ' Association chose a Reveille staff and a High School Courier staff both of which were approved by the student body. Through the school year meetings of both the Students ' Association and Cabinet were held weekly and, due to the united efforts of all, many successful activities were carried out. Page Fifty-six ATHLETIC COUNCIL Athletic Council 1930-31 The weighty matters, considered by the Athletic Council in the course of its meetings, have, in a large way, dominated the managerial side of the school athletics. All prospects for managerial positions have been discussed and the most suitable nominees have received the approval of the Council. The Council itself consists of all athletic managers, captains, and coaches. These members, sit- ting in room thirty-five, have very earnestly supported the demands of girls ' basketball for new equipment and championship emblems and have also introduced a new sport to the physical cur- ricula of the school. This is the sport of tennis. During the past two years the Council has been very emphatic in demanding that merit, effici- ency, and successful competition shall determine the managerial choices. This body has also noticed the need for a widening of athletic activities to include students who in the course of the year do not compete in the established sports. It is the earnest desire of the Council that the interclass bas- ketball competition be extended to soccer and playground baseball. We feel most sincerely that this would justify itself. The officers of the Council for the past year have been H. W. Vanderhoof, President; N. C. Wood, Vice-President; and Gladys Morgan, Secretary. The 1931-1932 managers, recommended by the Council and subsequently approved by the Cabinet are: Betty Baxter, Basketball; Donald Smith, Basketball; Milton Sherman, Football. Page Fifty-seven Webster I I igh School Courier WEBSTER HIGH SCHOOL COURIER STAFF The High School Courier , as most of you know, is the half-page in the Webster Herald devoted to the interests of Webster High School. During the year 1930-1931 the work of this high school activity has been in the hands of Geraldine Parker, the Editor-in-Chief, who with the help of an efficient staff, has faithfully furnished us with the weekly news. The members of the staff are: Editor-in-Chief Senior Reporter Junior Reporter Sophomore Reporter Freshman Reporter Eighth Grade Reporter Seventh Grade Reporter . Girls ' Athletic Reporter . Boys ' Athletic Reporter Geraldine Parker . Marie Schreiner Marguerite Hart . . . . Mary DeHond . Elaine Campbell .... .Doris Dewey .Charles Hartung Marion Scott . James Barnard Page Fifty-eight SPORTSMANSHIP BROTHERHOOD The Sportsmanship J brotherhood The first of the year the Brotherhood reorganized. New officers were elected. They are: President ...... William Rothfuss Vice-President Grant Somerville Secretary Thelma Kuhn In the combined meeting of the Cabinet and the Brotherhood, ten new members were elected, and were immediately taken into our midst. The meeting of all the chapters throughout the state was held at Syracuse on March 28. To this conference we sent two delegates, Hugh Mason and Robert Hockenberger, a new member. Although we did not win any medals for posters, we wish to thank those who made them for us. The delegates reported that they had a great time and also heard some very good speakers. The date of our annual banquet is set for June and we hope to make this banquet the best one that has ever been given. On account of lack of funds, we are selling candy to help finance it. Every year we give this banquet in order to show our appreciation for the good sportsmanship and hard playing of our athletes. As speaker for this banquet we are trying to get a Rochester Red Wing man and also Mr. Johnson who spoke at the meeting at Syracuse. Surely it will be an enjoyable event. The members that are graduating this year wish the brotherhood of coming years great success in the following out of the Sportsmanship Code. Page Fifty -nine SENIOR PLAY enior IPlay On Thursday, February 5, the Senior class presented Alabama Bound, a dramatic comedy of youth triumphant. The scene of the play is laid in Judge Wise’s office where Fay Fairbanks of Alabama meets Bemis Bennington, the possible heir to his uncle ' s two million dollar fortune, and mistakes him for a crook whom the police are seeking. Bemis immediately decides that he is Alabama Bound” and follows Fay to her home town where he outwits Professor Noah Jabb, fulfills the requirements of his uncle ' s will, and wins Fay as his bride. This play was a success in every way, due to the efforts of our director, Miss Knight and the efficient business staff. The following cast of characters showed plainly that talent exists in the class of ' 31 : Cast of Characters James Patrick Burns {Stubby}. Charles Gnage Colonel Frank Buchanan Hon.

Page Sixty JUNIOR PLAY unior It Happened in Hollywood, a three act comedy, was presented by the Juniors on March 27th. The scenes of the story are laid in the home of wealthy Mrs. Pembroke who is touring abroad. Alan Tremayne, with the aid of his friend Tom Garriety, finally succeeds in crashing the movies and falls in love with Josie Pembroke, who is full of adventure. Josie unexpectedly comes home from college to find Alan, who is masquerading as a Prince, and Tom Garriety living in her home. In order not to spoil their plans, she, unknown to them, poses as a maid in the household. The play was very successful due largely to the efforts of Mr. Colburn by whom it was directed.

The officers are: President William Sherman Vice-President Ralph Welker Secretary Gerard Maier Treasurer Arthur Yaeger Reporter . William Rothfuss At the Rochester exposition, the Webster boys again carried off first honor for the best grange fruit exhibit. Five teams judged at New York State Fair. William Rothfuss won third place in the state-wide speaking contest. At the Rochester Horticultural Show the boys received second prize and a large sum of money for the best fruit exhibit. In February, six teams were sent to Ithaca during Farm and Home Week. William Sherman won second honor in apple judging. Night meetings were held once a month at which the boys had programs furnished them. The season ' s activities were topped off by a fine meal, served by the girls in the Home-making depart- ment. The greatest honor of the year was having William Rothfuss elected to the Empire and to also the American Farmers degree. William was also selected to go to Kansas City as one of the two New York delegates to the National Meeting. Bill was also elected Secretary-Treasurer of the Associa- tion of Young Farmers of New York for 1930-31. The club feels very proud of Bill ' s achievements. Page Sixty-two HOME ECONOMICS CLUB IE lome Jhxonomics Club This is the first year that Webster High School has had a Home Economics Club. Despite the fact that this club is new, it has made itself well-known in its one year of existence. Like every other club, it has its officers. They were elected as follows: President — Ruth Fry; Vice-President — Marion Weeks; Secretary-Treasurer — Ruth Schwenzer. In January, Ruth Fry finished school and the officers were moved up. The new Secretary-Treasurer chosen was Caroline Strobeck. In February, Ruth Fry was sent as the representative of the club to Farm and Home Week at Cornell University. Upon her return a tea was held at which a most interesting report of the ac- tivities of Farm and Home Week was given. The money with which the picture in the Reveille was paid for, was earned by home-made candy sales. In April, a joint meeting of the Home Economics Club and the Agricultural Club was held. The boys furnished the food and the girls prepared it. After dinner, moving pictures were shown and games were played. Although the Home Economics Club has done no outstanding things, it must be taken into con- sideration that this was its first year. Great hopes are held for its future success and progress. Page Sixty-three WEBSTER LIBRARY CLUB Webster Library Club The Library Club was reorganized at the beginning of the school year by Miss Genung, our librarian. The veteran members who were honor students, formed a Senior group, while eighth grade members made up the Junior division. Each Senior member offered a period a day for library work and held herself responsible for some task such as care of overdue books, desk work, return of books to shelves, and grade work. The Juniors on the other hand, worked as a group giving one period a week to mending of books and devoting two hours after school to learning the fundamentals of librarianship. Bulletin boards, filing, care of magazines, and preparing new books for circulation were some of the tasks done. The loyal and efficient effort of each member has made the library development marked. Junior circula- tion has tripled, non-fiction circulation has doubled and public membership has greatly increased in the past year. The Library Club has not only done its share of work but it has greatly enjoyed several social events. On Valentine’s Day, Miss Genung entertained both groups at a get-acquainted party when the Junior members met their big sisters. We enjoyed later a theater party at which we saw George Arliss in Old English. At present we arc looking forward to a trip to Cobourg. At this time, the Senior group, most of whom will leave their Alma Mater this year, wish to express their appreciation to Miss Genung and to wish the future club-members success in their work. Page Sixty-four LES BABILLARDS SOCIETY Les Labillards Les Babillards, the French Honor Society, which was organized last year under the leadership of Margaret Holley, was reorganized in October 1930, with twenty-one members. The officers elected for the year were : President Rita Krenzer Vice-President Robert Hockenberger Secretary Charlotte Thomann Treasurer Rivera Newill Meetings are held every two weeks, every other one being a supper meeting. With the advice of Miss Hollander we have had a very successful year and hope that the society will continue in future years with the same success.

Plans were immediately made for the summer concerts with the result that six were played in Webster and two in Ontario, netting the organization over $400.00. During the spring and summer of 1930, nine engagements were met including an early spring concert at the high school, the memorial service on Decoration Day and seven Saturday evening concerts during the summer. It is expected that the band will furnish music during the coming summer since the village board has approved the expenditure of the $250.00 appropriation made for this purpose. The in- strumentation includes twelve cornets, four saxaphones, two clarinets, two alto horns, four trom- bones, one flute, three drums, one brass horn. Since the personnel of the band is constantly changing and will survive only so long as popular interest supports it, a citizens ' committee was appointed from the Webster Ad Club to encourage the boys in their efforts. The members of this committee are: R. B. Mason, chairman, Frank Jones, William Kime, Sr., Peter G. Smith, William Kittleberger and R. L. Thomas. Efficient and timely aid has been rendered by the Ad Club the past winter in furnishing funds when none were available in promoting a public benefit concert.

LEWIS Merton E. Lewis was graduated from Webster Union School in June, 1882. He almost immediately applied for employment as a salesman of fruit and ornamental trees. He was engaged and sent to Schenectady where he succeeded in making a fair record for a beginner. From Schenectady he was sent to Saratoga. After canvassing Saratoga he was sent to Pitts- field, Lennox and other towns in Western Massachusetts, where he obtained some very substantial orders. The following summer he again represented Glenn Bros, in the same territory with rather better success. Before returning from his first trip for Glenn Bros, he applied for the position of teacher of the West Webster District School and was given the position, on trial, for two weeks. The probation period expired and he continued as the teacher through the fall and winter terms. At the end of the term he was employed by James Breck Perkins, a Rochester lawyer, in whose office he studied law when not engaged in the operation of a typewriter. Studying was mostly done after office hours. He was again employed as teacher of the West Webster School during the winter term, after which he returned to the Perkins law office. He was admitted to the bar in June, 1887, at the head of a class of seventeen, and immediately opened an office in Rochester. Mr. Lewis was elected as the Alderman of the Sixteenth Ward, Rochester, and continued in office for five years; was President of the Board, by reason of which he became the Mayor of the City, succeeding the Mayor who resigned. Later he was elected a member of the Assembly of the State of New York and served five years. He was then elected as State Senator and served in the Senate five years. He also served for several years as the Chairman of the Executive Committee of the New York State Republican Committee. During such service he was appointed as First Deputy Attorney General of New York State, and later was elected Attorney General by rhe Legislature to succeed General Woodbury who resigned. He was elected Attorney General in 1917 and served until Jan- uary 1, 1919, at which time he became a partner in a law firm in New York City, where he practiced until September, 1926. InFebruary, 1927, he was appointed as a Special Assistant to the Attorney General of the United States, in which position he served for four years. During his active practice in Rochester, Mr. Lewis was a Director and the Legal Advisor of the Trader ' s National Bank at Rochester. He has practiced his profession for more than forty years as a member of the firm of Lewis, Mc- Kay, Bown and Johnson, and lately as a member of the firm of Lewis, Bown, Johnson and Tobin. During his busy life Mr. Lewis has found time to travel extensively both in the United States and in many European countries. Page Seventy-six ASA KENT JENNINGS Asa Kent Jennings, son of Hiram and Emma Jennings, was born in Ontario, Wayne Co., New York, September 20, 1877. When he was a small boy, he moved with his parents to Basket Street, Webster, New York, where he attended a district School. He later attended Webster High School from which he was graduated with the class of 1899 and the following year entered Syracuse University. After leaving the University, Mr. Jennings became Boys ' Work Secretary of the Y. M. C. A. in Utica and two years afterward was appointed General Secretary of Y. M. C. A. in Carthage, N. Y. Before taking up his work as Secretary at Carthage, he was married to Amy M. Will of Camden, New York and to them were born three children — Asa, Wilbur and Bertha. Because of ill health he spent two years in the Adirondacks and then accepted a call as pastor of the M. E. Church at Forestport, New York and later at Trenton and Richfield Springs. After eight years in the ministry he again took up Y. M. C. A. work and was sent to Newport News, Virginia. During the World War, Mr. Jennings was religious work director of Y. M. C. A. and acting army chaplain at Camp Morrison and at Camp Merritt. Later he was sent to France where he be- came assistant and then chief Secretary of the Y. M. C. A. camp and finally Divisional Director for the Y. M. C. A. organization of the Lc Mans area. At the close of the war he went to Czecho-Slovakia as one of the regional directors to organize an army Y. M. C. A. and later organized the work in Moravia and Silicia. From there he was called to Smyrna, Turkey, by the International Committee of Y. M. C, A. to develop work and clubs for boys. Shortly after he and his family arrived in Smyrna, the revolutionists of Turkey, having repudiated the mandate given to the Greeks by the Allies, formed an army to resist the encroach- ments of the Greek army. In August 1922, the Turkish army broke through the Greek line and forced the Greek army, together with the Greek Christians and Americans to the sea. At this time he witnessed the Turkish occupation of Smyrna, the defeat of the Greeks, the burning of Smyrna and many of the horrors of fire, war, and hate. Following a decree of the Turkish officials that they would let all refugees leave Turkey, Mr. Jennings, through direct contact with the Greek government at Athens, was able to secure fifty ships by means of which, in the brief space of one week, 300,000 refugees were transferred to Greek shores. After attending the Lousanne Conference he served on the commission for the exchange of Greek and Turkish prisoners. He was twice decorated by the Greeks and offered a position with the Greek government to assist them in settling refugee problems, but decided to help the Turks in the development of a new Turkish Republic. Recently an organization, known as the American Friends of Turkey has been organized, of which Mr. Jennings is the executive Vice-President with headquarters in New York and offices in Angora, Turkey. This organization is interested in the welfare and pro gress of the Turkish people, in the character development of their youth, in good citizenship and in loyalty to the Turkish Re- public. It seeks to promote a better understanding and good-will between the people of Turkey and the United States. The A. F. T. have no vested interests in Turkey and do not wish any; there- fore, they do not have anything to protect or lose, except the good-will of their Turkish friends and increasing opportunities for united service in behalf of humanity. Page Seventy-seven TO WEBSTER HIGH As I sit at my desk amid Uncle Sam ' s official papers and law books, looking out to the South at the table-lands of Old Mexico and then to the West at the deep blue waters of the Pacific, I am wondering just how far towards the ends of the earth the Alumni of Webster High is disbursed. But after all it docs not make much difference where we are. It doesn’t make so much difference whether our names are written in the Hall of Fame; whether we are great statesmen and our statues will rise in our Nation’s Capitol; whether in our calling of medical science we discover a new serum to combat the ravages of disease; whether we can interpret the law so clearly that all other inter- pretations are insignificant; whether we control a great manufacturing industry or lead a great army against the foe. Fine as these achievements are, wc must not forget that che little things of life also count. To be tolerant, kind, and not too fundamental in our thinking; to believe the world is growing better, will assist us in climbing the Delectable Mountain towards the Throne of Grace. Many years have passed since I said good-byeto Webster High, but the joy and happiness of those years have far exceeded any reverses that have come to me. I have found the world beautiful, al- ways, and that any discord, violence and sorrow are man-made. Practically my entire career has been in the Government service, eight years of which were spent in Washington, before going to the Northwest and then finally to the Great Government Aviation Supply and Repair Activity here adjoining Coronado, California, just across the Bay from San Diego. From this institution our fingers reach out to seven Western States and the Hawaiian and Philippine Islands to whom airplanes, engines, and supplies of all kinds incident to the main- taining of our Government Aviation Fields, are shipped. With a wonderful daughter in Junior High, a member of the “Honor Council and an accom- plished pianist; a son just entering Junior High, a solo clarinetist in a band of one hundred boys; a wife, beautiful and devoted, I think my lot compares favorably with those of my High School friends of days of yore and I hope that when they read this Annual of Webster High and later visit our California land of sunshine and (lowers, we may not be forgotten, but instead a reunion of old friends may be had. Students and Faculty of Webster High and my Alma Mater, I salute you. Clarence W. Knight, Class ' 06. 3342 Grim Ave., San Diego, Calif. April 14, 1931. Page Seventy-eight W. BURR KETCHAM W. Burr Ketcham, the son of Moses D. Ketcham and Mina Trimble Ketcham, was born in West Webster in 1896. He was graduated from Webster High School in 1914 and then entered the University of Roch- ester. While here he became a member of the Delta Upsilon Fraternity. After two years at the University, Mr. Ketcham entered the World War where he served for twenty-two months. At the close of the war he resumed his studies at University of Rochester and was graduated in 1921, with a B.A. degree. Mr. Ketcham has been connected with the Foreign work of the Standard Oil Company of New York, for the past eight years. He has served that company in Beirut, Syria, Athens, Greece; Smyrna, Turkey.

MARGARET KLEM Margaret Klem, a member of Webster High School ' s Class of 1914, entered the University of Rochester and, after graduating from there, studied lawand later practiced in the office ofO ' Bricn and McSwceney, in Rochester until 1928. Since then she has done research work, first for the Bureau of Labor Statistics in a Cost of Living survey in Boston, New York, Chicago and New Orleans, and for the past two years has been on the research staff of the Committee on the cost of Medical Care. This Committee is studying various aspects of medical care and the study which Miss Klem is directing will show the amount of illness and its cost to 12,000 families, living in various parts of the United States. The field work in connection with the study has taken her to Massachusetts, Tennessee, Virginia, West Virginia, Kansas, Colorado, Wisconsin, California and Washington. Page Seventy-nine 3 DR. BARTON BAKER Dr. Barron Baker (W.H.S. ' 18) was the editor-in-chief of the first Reveille in 1918. He was editor and publisher of the Universal Tribune, established in 1916, which was the largest circulated Lone Scout Tribe magazine and is still published by him as a legal periodical. He graduated from Cornell University in 1922, with the degree of Bachelor of Laws and in 1926 and 1928, received the degrees of Doctor of Civil Law, cum laude and Doctor of Philosophy from the Chicago Law School for extended research in law and philosophy. Dr. Baker has been practising law in Rochester, N. Y. since 1923. He is a partner of Judge Elbert H. Carver. The firm is located in the Genesee Valley Trust Bldg. Dr. Baker was admitted to prac- tice in all the New York State courts in 1923 and was admitted to practice before the Supreme Court of the United States in 1926. He was also admitted to practice before the United States District Court, United States Board of Tax Appeals and the Treasury Department, He was married in 1925 to Bernice M. Dennis (Cornell ' 25) of Ithaca, N. Y. and has one daughter Beatrice Bernice Baker, born December 1, 1930. Dr. Baker is an enthusiast in scouting and camping activities and made six annual western trips to the Rocky Mountains or the Pacific coast prior to 1930. During the summer of 1930, he visited the Adirondack Mountains and traveled extensively in the Province of Quebec. He is at present Grand Council Chief of the Boy Scouts of America, Lone Scout Division for the states of New York and New Jersey. He recently was a member of an expedition to the ruins of the cliff dwellers at Mesa Verde, Colorado and made a study of the law and religion of these old Americans. In the regular one hundred page edition of Philatelic West and Collector ' s World, published at Superior, Neb., in May 1918, Dr. Baker was described as the youngest Philatelic authority in America, but has not been active in Philatelic matters recently. He completed the field artillery course at the First Field Artillery R.O.T.C. camp held at Camp Knox, Kentucky. He is the author of Constitutional Law, Legislative Tendencies in Modern Divorce Law, pub- lished in the Cornell Law Quarterly. He resides at 93 Hazelwood Terrace, Rochester, N. Y. Page Eighty WILLIAM J. CHAPMAN William J. Chapman, after graduating from Webster High School in 1921, with high hopes and considerably more hair than he has now, fared forth to seek his fortune. What he wanted to do most of all was to find the niche in the world ' s affairs which he was fitted to occupy. He desired to find himself. To do this he taught school two years, attended Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute a year, worked a year, and finally graduated from Cornell University in 1928. In the spring of 1928, he came in contact with an officer stationed at Mitchell Field, who had just graduated from Kelly Field, the Army Air Corps ' Advanced Flying School. From then on his energies began to be bent toward flying and particularly toward getting an appointment to the Army Training Schools. It took from then until February, 1930, to secure an appointment, largely due to the fact that he three times failed his physical examination. Between graduation from Cornell University and his entrance to the Primary Training School at San Antonio, Texas, Chapman held the following jobs: seed salesman in North Carolina and Vir- ginia, truck driver for W. F. Lauer Sons, 4H Club agent in Green County, Auditor ' s assistant with the Associated Gas Electric Company in Ithaca and instructor in Cornell University. All these bits of work were fillcrs-in until he entered the Army Air Corps Flying Schools. Chapman became a dodo (lowest form of bird life) at Brooks Field, February 26, 1930, and was graduated from Kelly Field as a Second Lieutenant, United States Army, February 27, 1931. He was one of thirty graduating from the original class of one hundred and twenty-one. Chapman was married on June 20, 1930, to Miss Marie Byars of Valley, Nebraska, who studied music at Eastman School of Music and the University of Nebraska. Lieutenant and Mrs. Chapman are now living at 11 Bedell Street, Hampstead, Long Island, near Mitchell Field, where they arc stationed. Page Eighry-onc 3 HENRY FOOTE Henry Foote was born in 1902, on his father’s farm in Walworth, New York He obtained his early education in School District Number 3 at West Walworth. He then attended Webster High School from which he graduated in 1921 . Tn the fall of 1922, Mr. Foote entered the University of Rochester, electing a liberal engineering course. In 1926, he obtained his B. A. degree with major in chemical engineering and honor in mathe- matics. During his University career he was elected a member of the local Beta Delta Gamma under- graduate fraternity and in his junior year became a member of the Kappa Phi Kappa educational group. After finishing his course at U. of R., Mr. Foote accepted a position in the chemical division of the Eastman Kodak Company as analytical chemist in the Photographic Paper Manufacturing Division. This position gradually merged into one combining control of the scientific and experi- mental side of photographic paper manufacture. In July 1928, a vacancy occurred in the company ' s Australian Manufacturing Plant and the posi- tion was offered Mr. Foote. From that time until February 1929, Mr. Foote was released from active duties at Kodak Park and entered upon an extensive study of photographic paper, film, and plate- manufacturing throughout the various departments at Kodak Park and the company’s plant at Toronto, Canada. On March 1, 1929, Mr. Foote left America by way of San Francisco and Honolulu, for Australia to take control of the manufacture of photographic paper in the Southern Hemisphere. Unlike Lindy’s trans-Atlantic flight, Mr. Foote’s trip was not taken alone but served a double purpose of combining a business adventure with a honeymoon trip. His companion was Lillian Abbott, a graduate of Newark High School, At present Mr. and Mrs. Foote arc residing in Melbourne, Australia, but anticipate a business trip to America sometime in 1933, when they hope to attend the Alumni Banquet, and meet old friends. Mr. Foote’s address is, Kodak Australasia PTY. LTD. Melbourne, Australia.
