Senior History
It was during our sophomore year that the class of '22 started to
do things. To start our career we raised thirty dollars as our share
toward the football deficit. Then in order to be represented in social
activities we gave a very successful Christmas dance; after that came
a Sieighride!! ? ? ’—but the less said about that the better. To finish
up our first year in Academy we gave a dance in the Spring.
In our Junior year we started a play but realizing that all our
efforts would be needed in our Senior year we discontinued plans for
the year and laid our plans for our final year.
The rest during our Junior year certainly helped wonderfully.
The famous Hallowe’en Carnival started the ball rolling and the
Christmas dance, Dinty and Vaudy, and Keith Junior, and Oberlin
Girls’ Glee Club gave the necessary shoves to keep it rolling. Follow-
ing these came the most important event, excepting Commencement,
in the Senior program, the Senior Banquet, held at the Kawkwa Inn.
We ended our year with the Senior Class Play, “My Friend from
India."
A full program, and one that will make *22 stand first in the annals
of Academy High.

________________________
Three years ago, there entered, or we should say, rushed, through
the portals of Academy High a crowd of small, greenlooking (never-
theless smartlooking), boys and girls. Yes we were freshmen then,
but still quite an unusual and intelligent bunch. The faculty admitted
it long ago, and the rest of the school soon found out. This large
mass of “fresh youngsters” as the rest of the school named us, soon
became a well organized and smooth running class. A fine debating
team was one of our achievements. We got along fine the first year
considering all the hardships, etc., that were put before us.
By the end of our September year the entire school realized that
we were achieving unusual success in scholastic and athletic circles.
The Shenk brothers, Rhodes, Rehner and Kish were only a few of the
members of our illustrious class who showed extraordinary scholastic
ability. Hartman, McMahon, Lutz, Hershey and others were uphold-
ing the honor of the school and the class in athletics.
The third year of the history of our class has been a great suc-
cess, with the old members striving hard to attain the highest honors
in all activities for ’23, aided greatly by many newcomers. Speaking
of scholarships, we overheard some of the “higher ups” in the faculty
the other day, declare that we, the class of 1923, have the highest
scholastic standing in the school.
Although our class has not been a leader in social activities,
(most of our time is spent in study, athletics, etc.,) we have had sev-
eral successful achievements along that line. The Allegheny Glee Club
concert was the best of these.
But, hark, Academy, our Motto is “WATCH US NEXT YEAR.”

We, the Class of 1924, are under the advisement of two very dis-
tinguished members of the faculty, Miss Renner and Mr. Faber.
The Class of *24 has been active during its Sophomore year. The
representation in the activities of the school and class proves that
the Sophomores have been wide awake. The class had three letter
men in football, Schilling, Webb, and McCarthy. The Sophomore
boys’ and girls’ basketball teams both stood in the third place in the
Class Leagues. Swimming also found the class of ’24 there to give its
support.
A Thanksgiving Dance was given in the gymnasium, this was the
first social event of the class. This proved to be a great success both
socially and financially as many members of the class and faculty
were there to partake in the enjoyment.
Colgate Glee and Instrumental Clubs gave a concert in the audi-
torium on April 12th under the auspices of the Sophomore Class. This
was also a success as the Sophomores were there to back it.
We have spent two happy years together and we are glad that we
have before us two more years of high school life. We have secured
for ourselves a favorable place in the activities of our Alma Mater and
we will never cease to "Carry On.”

This, the third Freshman Class to enter Academy, made wonderful
progress. A class organization was promptly formed and officers
elected—wide awake ones.
In the early part of the year we had a party which was greatly
enjoyed. At our class meetings we have always had large numbers
present. In council we have been ably represented by three members.
The Freshmen were net backward in athletics either. The Junior
High Basketball Team came very near winning the championship be-
sides furnishing an excellent player to the varsity. We were promi-
nent on al! the varsity teams.
The Class of 1925 has supported the Star and Academe very
strongly showing their patriotism in all respects.

Foreword
Academy has accomplished more in athletics during the past year
than it had in the two preceding years combined. Not because we won
more contests, but because the Blue and Gold teams met opponents
who were in Academy's division.
For years, it has been the custom in Erie to bring championship
teams here, whether or not the Erieites had a chance with the champs.
Two years ago, Academy tried the same thing.
But Academy woke up during the past season. In football we met
some tough elevens. The reason for this, however, is due to the fact
that we did have an exceptional team. Basketball met only one team
which it did not have a chance with. Baseball is playing against stiff
opposition, due to its ability.
Academy has won one championship and looks like a sure winner
in another. Our eleven gave Central a beating on Thanksgiving Day,
thus giving them the championship of Erie and also several trophies.
The baseball team has defeated East High once. One more and it has
the scholastic championship of the city.
As much as we say concerning the teams that the southside school
has been proud of having, we cannot say much for the support given.
Academy students have shown little or no interest in the activities of
the teams.
There were crowds at the football contests because the football
team won every game. It appears that students are ashamed of hav-
ing a poor team. It is when the team is losing that the support is
needed. It is needed all the time.
If students support athletics next year the way they have, ina few
few years Academy will not have such a thing as football, or basketball
or a track team.
So buck up, Alma Mater, and see Academy through to a finish.
Athletics need the support and you are the one to see that it gets it.
— -1922’
The Academe people have asked of me
That I should a willing helper be
And in a doggerel, so they said,
Should eulogize, before they’re dead,
The Academy High School faculty,
And things about us that we see.
We have our ups, we have our downs,
Some take in sense, some take off pounds,
When half are cranky all the rest
Have tempers of the very best,
And, taking one and all together,
We fit most any kind of weather.
Now half of them 1 do not know
And they'll be glad that it is so,
While those I know I'll have to shun
Unless they take this all in fun
And prove the truth of all reports
That I will find them right good sports.
The ladies of the faculty
Are extra fine, as you can see,
Nowhere in town you’ll find such grace,
Such charm of figure and of face,
While there are left some two or three
To furnish weight and dignity.
Miss Badger, Miss Booth and Miss Ruth Lutje,
(1 can find no rhyme for that but ‘itchy’)
Are three who torture the Spanish classes.
And twist the tongues of the lads and lasses,
No luckless ‘muchacho* ever dared
Tell them ‘hasta manana’ when unprepared.
Miss Mong and Mias Salchli, I am told,
Speak Latin like the Romans bold,
With Roman legions in array
They spend the periods each day
And woe betide the luckless class
That in its Virgil does not pass.
Miss Black, Miss Tanner and some more
Are filled with mathematics lore
Miss Johnson and Miss Burgess, too,
Some Alegbraic sums can do,
(Caixttauvd on Pnftn I OS)

Nichols Prep of Buffalo, a strong combination, was scalped at
Buffalo, 26 to 14. The Bisons were the first and only team which
scored twice on our lads.
Albion had been going strong in the country, and like North East
they challenged. As we had an open date, we took them on. In the
first game on a snow-covered field, Albion marched home with its head
down, suffering the greatest defeat it had ever been given, 58 to 0.
Conneaut was easy, 25 to 7, the Saturday before the Big game.
Then came the contest with Central. The Red and Black had not
been going well. They had been losing consistently. On paper, they
were much stronger than our boys. Seven of their boys were supposed
to be picked on the All-Erie team.
The writer, himself, was convinced the day before the game that
Academy was not going to win its eleventh straight. He feared that
overconfidence might give us a defeat.
It was not until he had been with the team an hour before the
game and heard the words by our exceptional mentor, Oc. Anderson,
that he was convinced that the Blue and Gold would again triumph.
Academy played for the honor of the Blue and Gold. But it played
more for our coach than for anyone else. They realized why Anderson
wanted us to win. And the team went in there, determined o come out
victor.
And it did. In the first few minutes, we had the ball on Central’s
five yard line. Slipping in the mud, we lost the ball on a forward pass.
However, we beat them, and that is all we wanted.
Football should be an even greater thing at our Alma Mater this
year than ever before. We have such stars as Captain "Smash ’Em”
Thompson and Bush, with Kuhl, Collins and Kelsch missing, but we
will be there fighting in there just the same.

Basketball
Basketball at Academy High school was not so success-
ful as the football season. One of the main reasons for this
is poor support from the student body. Another is illness to
the best players on the squad.
The team in spots showed some brilliant playing. On
the whole, the Blue and Gold could not be seen. We were
outclassed in the games we lost, with the exception of one or
two.
In the first contest for the championship of the city, the
Red and Black stepped away from us for a 50 to 21 victory.
The game was played on the Y. M. C. A. floor, the home of
the Central team.
The most important thing Academy learned in that
game was that it was unable to win many ball games unless
the school got behind it. In the following game with Central
we again lost, 60 to 19.
There was no support. The team played because it had
to. Of course the result can be easily determined. We lost
several games we were capable of winning with some noise
by our students.
At any rate, we won 12 of 19 games played. This is a
far better record than any other basketball team that Acad-
emy has had, but it does not excuse the losses we suffered.
For instance, the East High series, which decided sec-
ond place in the city championship. Coming to our school,
knowing very little basketball and having few players wrho
could compare with our boys, the Scarlet and Gray outgamed
our players by three points. These were scored in the last
few minutes of play. It was the first win in 12 for East
High.
In the second game, we showed a comeback to win by
11 counters. We lost the final, due to no cheering for Acad-

Leaders’ Class
The Leaders’'Class is composed of the girls of highest standing
in Gymnasium work. Correct standing position is one of the vital
things in this organization. The girls are trained in Skill, Strength,
Co-operation, and Grace. A Leader Class girl is an all-round athlete.
Under the instruction of Miss Mayette the Leader’s Class of 1921-1922
has proved to be a great success. In the Gym. Exhibition of this year
The Leaders’ Class took a very prominent part and was greatly com-
mended for its fine work. The girls have established a high standard
and it is hoped that next year’s group will equal or excel the present
high standards.
The members of this class are:
Winifred Mong, Geraldine Purches, Florence Copeland, Margaret

Track Team
Academy track team of 1922 will be a success, considering the
quantity of new material. Without one of our best men, who could be
counted upon to score 12 points in any meet. Academy is making a
good bid to take the Faculty Cup away from Central.
To date, we have been entered in two meets. The first was a tri-
angular affair at Ashtabula in which we were entered with Ashtabula
High and Ashtabula Harbor High.
Academy students were surprised when they learned that we took
second place at this meet In reality, we should have copped first. We
lost by one point, due to the inexeperience of one of our new runners.
The following week, the team and the band of 40 pieces traveled
to Meadville for the annual Allegheny Interscholastics. Another sur-
prise, a pleasant one at that, was in store for Academicians.
After losing the first few events, the band stirred up enough music
to create some spirit in the boys. Not only did we score a few points,
but we gathered enough to take third place from 11 other schools.
At the meet, Academy copped two first places. Orin Owens, our
smallest man, ran around the hurdles in faster time than any other
representative. Edward Sims, after practicing one day at hammer-
throwing. took first place in that event at Allegheny.
By way of reminder, Central took second in the meet, we being
only seven points behind them. South High of Youngstown was an
easy winner with 43 1-2 points.
On June 10, the big triangular meet between Central, East High
and our boys will take place. We must win in order to get a hold on
that Faculty trophy. If the Red and Black cops this time, and they
win again next year, they will have permanent possession of the cup.
What do you say, Academy ’ For the honor of the school on the
hill let us win and show Central we not only have a football team, but
also a track team, l^t’s go.

Baseball
Some years ago, a citizen of Erie would have been surprised if he
heard that high schools woud form baseball teams and play scholastic
ball. The reason for this is that Centrall had attempted it several
times and had made very little success with it.
It is a different story today. Scholastis baseball has developed to
such an extent that one would think that baseball had always been a
sport in Erie.
Only two schools have baseball teams. They are Academy and
East High. Central has refused to enter a team to represent it in the
national sport.
Last year, Academy started its first baseball team. Luckily it
was able to purchase suits and other equipment and had a fairly suc-
cessful season.
Academy is proud of the baseball team it has at present. At press
time, we have won six games and lost only one. Over-confidence cost
us one contest.
East High is our biggest rival. They do not have as finished a
team as we have. There is not that inside baseball in their playing,
which we show. Our team is like a machine. Everything is done auto-
matically with a reason behind it.
Manager Barron has arranged games with the best teams in this
section of the country. Knowing the excellent nine we have, Abraham
was not slow in getting games with good teams. He has arranged a
contest with Hutchinson of Buffalo, the best team in that city. If we
beat them, he will try to get the state champions and then, oh boy!
Won’t Academy be proud of her team? Football made a record,
winning eleven straight games. However, it did not get a crack at the
state title, as the baseball team is doing.
The team has been coached by John F. Faber, one of our faculty.
What Faber does not know about baseball can be placed on a flea. Of
course there are a lot of things in baseball. But our boys are learning
a good many of them.
Our baseball machine is captained by Alphonse “Punsey" Weiss.
He plays a good game and has been hitting the “pill” at a terrific
pace. We are relying on the pitching of Lindberg and Barber for our
victories. However, without the aid of the other eight men we would
have a bad time.
Only three men will be missing from the fold next year. They
are Captain Weiss, Manager Barron, and the star of them all, Joseph
“Red” Thompson.
Here's luck to you, Academy baseball fiends. We hope that you
will carry on with baseball as we have tried to.

Tennis
Tennis is the youngest of Academy’s sports. It is the youngest
sport in the world. But it will in time be the most popular. There is
something in tennis that attracts the biggest fellow in the school to
the smallest girl.
There are more students playing tennis on the courts than there
are playing in any other sport. What is the reason? Tennis is the bet-
ter sport for the development of the body.
Of the 300 or 400 students who play the spring sport at Academy,
there are five fellows who represent the Blue and Gold when a match
is arranged. They are good tennis players and are looking forward
to having a very successful season.
Byron Baur, the youngest who copped the Northwestern Pennsyl-
vania title for the Juniors ast year, looks like the best we have. How-
ever, the others are close behind. W'ilbur Adams, Grant Cook and
Brant Courson, with Baur, look lige the best we have at the present
time.
Manager Hatheway is arranging a tough schedule. Academy will
in all probability win the majority of its contests as it did last year.
In another year or two tennis will be a major sport.
Central is in for a beating in this sport by us. Go to it and win,
Academy.
91
Swimming
Swimming was a bigger success, so far as wins and losses are
concerned, than last year. The team worked hard all year and only
one slip-up was made during the entire season.
Besides winning four of five meets, the Blue and Gold had one
man who broke the city record for an event. This is a great feat to
accomplish, considering that Central High, our big rival, holds the
scholastic championshin of the United States.
Boys’ Club, one of our friendly rivals, went down to defeat two
times. The first, by a mere four points. In the next meet at the Club
tank, our boys did not give the Club a chance to get its breath. It
won by a big margin.
East High was another of our victims. Twice did we conquer over
them and both times by humiliating scores. The first was 51 to 17.
It was in the second meet with East High, at the latter's big tank,
that Minedeo, our star plunger, broke the Erie record for this event.
The stubby fellow plunged 62 feet, 5 inches for a new record. The
former record was 60 feet, made several times.
On New Year’s Pay, Central took us over. We were able to take
thirds in each event. Our rivals had a better team than we. We
knew it. We had as much chance in beating them as Central had with
us in football. We were game, however. The boys tried hard, but
could not place.
The slip-up came when Coach Fred Near resigned. Many of the
players, in fact, all of them, did not want Freddie to quit. It took a
good bit of persuading on the part of the school to get the boys back.
But they came. And we came back with a bigger bang than ever.
The one thing that has marred swimming at Academy is that we
have not been able to get out-of-town meets. The reason for this is
that managers cannot take chances on losing any money on guarantee.
We have as good a team as ever came to meet the Red and Black.
Let us support swimming so that we shall be able to make Acad-
emy known as having a good tank squad.
Organizations
Orchestra
The Orchestra of Academy High School has had a most successful
year. Withdaily practice the orchestra has reached a degree of pro-
ficiency that enabled it to furnish the music for the musical comedy
“Kathleen,” the senior class play, and it is to be in evidence at the
Commencement exercises. This is not only a great credit to the school,
and fine training for the members of the orchestra, but it has been the
means of saving the school quite a sum of money.
There are several good players in the school who were not
able to join the orchestra because the necessary changes in their pro-
gram could not be arranged, but it is hoped that this difficulty can be
overcome next year, and that Academy will have a sixty-piece orches-
tra.

Academy High School Band
Promoters of the Academy High School Band had the following
objects in mind:
The giving of an opportunity for the development of latent musi-
cal talent; an added attraction to hold boys in school; a means of pro-
moting school spirit; a source of entertainment in the school and at
the school functions.
Has it fulfilled their expectations? There is no question about the
first object Under the excellent leadership of Professor Rusterholtz
the band has developed to such an extent that it is in constant de-
mand. It is hard to say just how much it has done to keep boys in
school, but those who are in closest touch with the workings of the
band feel that at least five boys have been kept here who otherwise
might have left school. If the students had their way the auditorium
would be full every sixth period. “The students have certainly en-
joyed the band," said one of the seniors." It seems to be true.
Our first appearance was at the Thanksgiving game. While our
football team was covering itself with mud and immortality, the band
was also gaining a very brilliant start. Our next appearance was at
the Public Library on the occasion of its twenty-fifth anniversary. We
did some good work later at the band contest at East High School if
the applause of the auditors is a criterion. At the Meadville Track
Meet we furnished sweet strains while our team and a dozen others
contended for track honors.
We lose few players by graduation. The band now numbers 38.
There is every reason to hope that the number will be increased to 50
members by next September. It is gratifying, also, to note that our
leadership has been followed by other schools in the city. We also
believe that few schools in America can boast of a better band.
95
Euterpe Club
Although hindered by short periods and not much time for prac-
tice, the Euterpe Club, formerly the Junior Girls’ Chorus, accompished
something.
Two dances were given. A Thanksgiving Dance was sponsored
in honor of Academy and Centra) foot ball teams. A Valentine Dance
was also given.
Next year the Club looks forward to
socially.

The purpose of the Acadamy High School Friendship Club
is to create, and maintain a spirit friendliness and democracy among
the girls of the school; to awaken through social service, a definite
responsibility for citizenship, and to be a force for high ideals in the
school and community. Membership is open to any girl in high school.
Hikes, bacon bats, parties, discussions and talks, making of toys for
children at Christmas, packing and distributing Thanksgiving baskets,
programs at Old Soldier’s Home, etc. are the club activities.
The club has undergone a very successful year because of the
cooperation of all the members. The Christmas carol singing and the
Vocational Guidance Conference proved such a success that they are to
become annua! club activities. The*'April Showers” dance was one of
the features of the year. In all the club has fulfilled the four fold pro-
gram of, membership, social, educational, and social service.
If you are not a member now sign up with the girl in the
booth at the beginning of the new term.

The Seniors gave their annual class play on April 27th and 28th.
"My Friend From India" was chosen as the piece, and the committee
composed of Margaret Bogart. Catherine Feidler, John Kelsch and
Miss Hunt, selected a cast. Mr. William Rex Bond, Jr., who had
pjayed in this farce some years ago, was secured as coach.
On Thursday evening, April 27th, they played before a house of
six hundred and on-Friday a house of over a thousand applauded the
clever jokes and witticisms of the characters. We cannot say that the
play went thru without a break, but they were covered up so well “be-
hind the curtain” that it was not noticed "beyond the footlights.”
To give all the credit to the cast would be folly, for much of the
success of the play was the work of the Managers. The class elected
J. Edward Pelton, as General Manager. He in turn appointed Jean
Wilson as Ticket Manager; Abraham Barron as Advertising Manager,
and Milton Link as House Manager. Under these three heads came a
score of other workers who must not be forgotten.

The Academe
Vol. II Academy School, Erie, Pennsylvania June, 1922
Our School Publications
Are they worth the effort which is put into them?
We have asked ourselves this question many times this year but
have never hit a favorable answer. There are a great many advantages
gained by the work which the students put forth in publishing these
papers and magazines.
We say great help is gained by the students who help and con-
tribute to them, and then the question comes up as to how many con-
tribute to them.
There are nearly twenty-five hundred students in Academy High
and about one out of every four hundred has contributed to the two
publications, the Star and the Academe,
These few people do the work; contribute their knowledge and
time to them while the rest stand back and criticize and scoff when
something goes wrong. The great number of scoffers do not even give
the workers the encouragement to do their best by buying these pub-
lications.
These two papers are not run by those students who do the work
just for the fun but for the honor and glory of Academy High.
If it must be said we will now say it that the people who play
football, basketball, baseball, and take part in track and who are looked
upon as heroes, walk about with their chests out with a grand and
glorious feeling that they sure have earned this honor which is just
and fair for them to give it to them.
But let me tell you we of the publications, earn just as much if
not more. We work from the beginning of school in September to the
end of school in June.
So when some one says that the Star is “punk” and the Academe
is “bum” just think of the ones who are working their fingers off to bet
out the best publications they are able to.
So, in our estimation the publications are worth all the effort if
only the ones who did the work got their full amount of credit, we
would be satisfied.
Our motto is: “YOU ABOVE ALL MUST BE SATISFIED."
< ACADEME
Athletics and Activities
Is there any person in Academy
who does not know that our foot-
ball team won eleven games and
lost none? If there is such a per-
son he will at least know and nev-
er forget that in our second year
of football we defated Central.
Certainly no manager could kick
about the gate receipts last Thanks-
giving. It seemed as if all the
students of the two high schools
plus half of Erie was out there.
The majority of the public thought
the Red and Black a sure winner
because of its established athetic
status. But our players under the
coaching of “Oc” showed Erie that
with the proper spirit a champion-
ship team may be formed from
practically inexperienced men.
In other snorts we showed up
well, if not as great as in football.
Our swimming team had a very
good season. The basketball team
did not fare as well but showed
fine spirit.
At the time this is written the
baseball and track teams have not
started, but we have hopes of de-
feating Central in those too
In debating and speaking we
have equalled, if not surpassed,
Central, thus showing that age and
established reputation are not re-
quisite for success.
The Student Council
Student self government has
been tried in Erie schools in vari-
ous forms for some time. During
our first year we had an Activities
Committee which was fairly suc-
cessful. The next year a new con-
stitution was made calling for a
Congress composed of two houses.
The entire organization was mod-
eled after that of our national gov-
ernment with the different classes
as states. A supreme court and
cabinet were also provided. This
plan was too elaborate to work
successfully.
This year a committee was se-
lected by Mr. McNary from a num-
ber recommended by the classes to
draw up a new and better form of
government. Having the past fail-
ures before them this committee
obtained constitutions and plans of
various student governments which
had made good. These were from
all sections of the country. The
best parts were selected and modi-
fied to fit our school. This was
done quickly and meant great work
to the people on the committee.
The organization is known as The
Student Council of Academy High
School.
This year's Council accomplished
a great deal for the amount of
time it has been in operation. Get-
ting a good start next year it
ought to take care of all school
problems that may arise.

FACULTY ADVISER
It is well known to every High School student that periods of
depreccion are always followed by even greater prosperity. The stu-
dent of United States History will inform you that the greatest pros-
perity that this country has ever experienced has been immediately
following the great panics.
At present we have a groat industrial depression. Thus far it
has lasted two years. Just as a surgeon cuts away the false tissues
about a wound so it is this country at the present time cutting away
the false economic structure built up during the war.
Therefore through precedent and the signs of the time it may
well b expected that the next few years will see business in America
resumed on a grander scale and sounder basis than was ever before
known in the history of the world. America must start to work. She
has a monopoly on all the money and resourcs of the world. For years
to come American business will greatly effect the business of Europe.
This situation presents to every High School student an oppor-
tunity to step into the growing business and grow up with it. Already
the call is out for youth with specialized education, executive ability,
character, and the desire to serve,rather than to work for mere gain.
to fill up the breach and form a lasting foundation for our industrial
system. More especially are the prseent graduating classes prepared
for this opportunity because of the fact that during this period of
depression, the students in the High Schools who have not been able
to work have learned the real value of money and they have developed
the virtue ofeconomy. The opportunity therefore presents inself to
every’ member of the Class of ‘22 of Academy High school to step out
and show the world that the school on the hill has already paid fr it-
self by producing men to lead in the business of the country and devote
their lives to constructive service for the community.

Council
About the middle of October a committee was appointed by Mr.
McNary to draw up a form of Student Government that was practical
and would endure. The committee was composed of Ruth Bennett "22,
Edward Brown ’23, and two Faculty Members, Mr. Morse and
Miss Hunt.
This committee soon drew up a constitution and a plan of gov-
ernment. The Executive Body to be known as The Student Council, and
composed of thirty-three members. Five from the Faculty, six from
each of the Senior High classes and three from each of the Junior
High classes.
The President is a Senior nominated by his class and elected by
the vote of the entire school. The Honorary President is the Principal.
The Vice President is elected by the Council from among their Junior
Class members. The Secretary is elected by the Council from their
number. The Treasurer is a member of the faculty appointed by the
Principal.
The members of the three Committees are nominated and elected
by their respective classes. A faculty member on each committee is
appointed by the Principal. Each Committee elects a Chairman and
Secretary-Treasurer from the members of that Committee.
This plan was put into operation in November and since then the
Council has taken care of all school activities.

THE FACULTY
om Pa(i. 72)
No matter what may be the tangle
They get it from the proper angle.
Miss Wieland helps them add their sums,
Miss Weir to different classrooms runs.
A sound comes rising on the breeze,
A wail, a sob, and then a wheeze,
’Tis Mrs. Stoughton tunning up
The orchestra, and then my cup
Of bitterness is surely drawn—
The band comes next, of that anon.
One squad of ladies earn their bread
Teaching of the Pilgrims dead,
Miss Rider tells of Nero’s reign
Miss Berst of Cromwell and his fame.
Miss Fluegel, too. and Miss McLaughlin
Their history dates have not forgotten
While down within the plumbing shop
Miss Caughey reigns, and does not stop
With Washington and treaties fair,
But teaches Woman Suffrage there.
Queer bugs and worms Miss Thompson likes
She teaches plumbing and building dikes
Miss Pinney looks unto the stars
And tells her class which is Mars,
Miss Klinged starts the ball to rolling
As round the earth her class goes strolling
From the plumbing shop doth Mrs. Hawks
Propound her geographic shocks
While lobsters, frogs and fishes’ eggs
Are things for which Miss Schwittay begs.
A lady does the French verb stunt.
We know' this lady as Miss Hunt,
The honk you hear outside her door
Will make you think of Henry, sure.
Miss Bateson, likewise, “parley vous”
And in the rest room tells the news.
Now we’ll take the English corps
And bring its members to the fore.
Two sisters guide the student host
Through the paradise that Milton lost,
And if they do not parse it well
The Misses Gaggin soon can tell.
Miss Farley has a catnip fit
When students fail to do their bit.
The list of names is very long,
Miss Brown adds ballast to the throng
And when Miss Renner’s class is tired
The talent that might go to waste
In pictures of the teachers
Is trained by Mr. Erickson
To practice nobler features.
The pattern shop of Mr. McGraw’
Is the busiest place you ever saw’,
His patternmakers come to me
For English, so I know, you see,
While Mr. Groschke with his tools
Mr. Zahniser, you know,
Is long for this world anyhow
Makes chairs and tables, racks and stools.
And so I won’t say much about him
It’s getting time that I should shorten.
Now Mr. Rusterholtz and I
Are enemies, I’ll tell you w’hy,
He leads the band and it did meet
At period six beneath my feet.
No further reasons need I state
I think 1 have explained my hate.
When we wrant some kicking done
Mr. Anderson’s the one
We call upon to do the same
For he's a man of football fame.
Another man that I must name
Is Mr. Derby, of his woe
I have eight portions so I know
What evils fall unto his lot
And why his laddies love me not.
Down where the climate grows hotter and hotter
Reign Mr. Henrichs and Mr. Cotter
And it isn’t as hot as it’s going to be
If Mr. Henrichs doesn’t make up w’ith me.
Mr. Kleffman’s job is a glorious one
He teaches the trade boys to figure a sum
If he wants it he has my sympathy
For the same lot come to me, you see.
Community Civics with Mr. Radder
Make the Household Arts girls wiser and sadder
Could their English but have the same effect
I’d view my job with more respect
One class in which the boys delight
Is the printing class, they’ll work all night
If Mr. Thomas will just say, "Yes,”
When they tease so hard to run the press.
Two ladies adorn our stately halls
Who respond to everybody’s calls.
1
When for library books you page Mrs. Binney
She calmly tells you there are not any
While Miss Salisbury’c grip upon books for your classes
Is a powerful thing that nothing surpasses.
Now friends my muse is giving out
But I’ve still a few to talk about.
Miss Lutje, our girls’ counsellor
Asks "What are you going to leave school for?”
Her help is given every bit
To all who may have need of it,
Every girl bears her in mind
And says "We like her for she's kind."
Mr. Dimorier shows the boys
How schooling multiplies their joys
And when a yeast cake he has eaten
His pep and vim can not be beaten
The office force consists of two
Miss Weber and Miss Fassett, who
Lays down the law to king and peasant,
And thinks she scares us, but she doesn’t.
Miss Weber is the pupil’s fate
And gives them black marks when they’re late.
And now the head of all this crowd
The man of whom we may be proud
To Mr. McNary we’ll give our best
We’ll work for him nor think of rest,
His honor we will make our own
And that of our school until it’s known
That Academy stands for unity
For fellowship and loyalty,
Co-workers all in one great scheme
And we'll really be so, not merely seem.
Now those whose names I do not mention
Remember, please, my good intention,
I neither know your names nor tasks
Nor other things the census asks.
Some other bard, some other day
Will to these teachers tribute pay.
She sings to them like one inspired.
Miss Walter and Miss Sloan make off
At three o’clock, they took up golf.
To Miss Suttelle boys like to go
Just look at her and you will know
Why they like her for a teacher
Tis written plain on every feature.
The plumbing shop, too, has its share
Of English and the lady fair
Miss Crawford is, and from their tell
I think she knows her subject well.
110
Miss Carrol’s favorite indoor sport
Is teaching English, and report
Proclaims her quite a fine successor
To an erstwhile defunct professor.
My trade boys do not care a rap
While I make verses they shoot crap.
The shorthand and stenography
Are doing fine as all can see.
While Miss Jones teaches dicks and whacks
Miss Edmond’s class makes chicken tracks
Miss Sapper and Miss Etter, too,
Have all the work they can do.
Of our fine cooks Miss Giltner's one
She knows when pies and cakes are done.
Miss Crowell, too, can fix a snack
And of good taste it has no lack.
Miss Bennett teaches girls to sew
And keep their needles in a row,
Miss Williams, too, can teach the stitch
And fits a dress without a hitch.
The laundry holds a busy hum
Where Mrs. McCormack’s girls have fun
Cutting and fitting and basting all
The pretty gowns for the gridiron ball.
English and Latin and History!
How she knows so much is a mystery,
’Tis Miss Klingensmith I refer to now
That she knows a lot you’ll have to allow.
Miss Jordan teaches the common folk
With pencil and brush to make a stroke.
She draws and paints! and teaches them
To do the same with artistic vim.
On Miss Meyette the curses fall
For teaching dancing and basketball
She prepares the girls for married life
Not one will be a down-trodden wife.
And now the men, ah me, the men!
Would that I had a magic pen
That I might dip in magic inks
Fit to describe our Mr. Pinks,
Whose smiles our hours of labor deck
When there's no boil upon his neck.
The men about the building here
Are held by every one so dear,
We love their many manly virtues
But better still we love their autos.
On pay days when we hie us down
To cash our checks and see the town,
We get a ride ’most every time
Their courtesy is quite sublime,
And when we want to move a table
We always find one man that’s able
To lift himself out of his chair
And help us put the table there.
Mr. McNally’s sparks and shocks
Keep running fine our schoolroom clocks,
While Mr. Faber’s blue print baths
Make clear the electrician’s paths
And Mr. Daley’s smiling face
Makes the girls like to learn to trace.
Of Mr. Detmers oft we hear
He holds the ladies, oh, so dear,
The facts of this I do not know
The Chinese plate, it told me so.
Mr. Sternberg wanders round
Looking for classes that can’t be found.
Mr. Arnold and Mr. Krum
Make the bookkeeping classes hum
And Mr. Darsie not far off
Assigns quadratics long and tough.
Now Mr. Morse experiments
With all the earthly elements,
He walks the halls with shoes that squeak
And knows what makes the storm clouds leak.
Mr. Davis in his turn
Makes other lamps of science bum.
Tis Mr. Kelly’s task to show
The whys and wherefora of the so,
Why tax on tea our land rejected,
Why Bryan hasn’t been elected.
While Miss Salisbury’s grip upon books for your classes
Miss Klingel starts the ball to rolling

WHAT SCHOOL?
What school teaches only one thing?--how to render service?-- teaches
its students that work, instead of being a disgrace, is the only honor-
able means of accumulating wealth.
Every man who has been through college knows that it is a common
tendency for a boy to try his best to emulate the habits of his college
chum who spends the most money.
When a boy or a girl enrolls in a Business College there is a very
definite aim in view, and that aim is to prepare for useful work out of
which an honest living can be earned.
Almost from the first he hears the other students talking about jobs,
about earning salaries, about promotions and the like; the air is im-
pregnated with the desire to perform work. This desire is contag-
ious and one absorbs it from the other.
Lizzie Jones, the baker’s daughter, stands just as well with her chums
in Business College as does Elizabeth Rockamorgan, the heiress, with
her chums in an eastern school of “fashion”.
Simple democracy is the order of the day!
Everybody learns to work; everybody wants to work; everybody is
talking about work; work becomes an honorable means of earning a
living instead of a mere necessity.
Ask for the book that tells, “What an Erie Business College Training
Does for young People”. It’s free.
