FOREWORD
Our high school years are the shining links in the
chain of life, and a tangible record of them is a prized
treasure. We, the class of 1925, therefore present
this the fifth volume of the Academe as a record of
the happenings and activities of the year. In it we
endeavor not only to recall all the activities of the
year, but also to show examples of the excellent work
done by our different departments.
We, the staff, have given of our time and effort,
toward completing this annual. If there are mis-
takes, we ask you to be lenient; if there are good
qualities we ask you to be kindly appreciative.
In closing, we give thanks to the faculty, the stu-
dents, the office force, and our advisors, for the help
that they have given us.
The Editor.

Walter Hayes Detmers
Mr Detmers. to whom this book is dedicated, is a native of Buffalo. N. Y. He
graduated from the old Centra) High School; known al present as Hutchison High School.
Upon leaving high school he entered Brown University where he continued his studies.
At Brown. Mr. Detmers soon won fame as a member of the baseball team, on which he
starred. After completing his course at Brown he entered Harvard for a graduate course.
For some time after concluding his college life Mr Detmers taught as a private tutor in
his home town. He then became a member of the faculty of Dunkirk High School where
he taught until hie fame spread and he was brought to Erie to teach at Central High.
With the opening of Academy High School Mr. Detmers was transferred to the new
school, where he soon won the hearts of the students and the respect of the faculty.
Mr. Detmers has made two trips abroad spending several months on the continent
during each trip. During his travels and studies he has acquired a vast store of know-
ledge on all subjects of general interest. This knowledge enables him to give lengthy
discourses on many subjects, much to the delight of the students of his classes. Although
Mr. Detmers tenches algebra and geometry, which are apt to influence the mind, and turn
one's ways to technique and to details; he has escaped their influence, and still retains a
jollity and sense of humor that win him many friends.
Mr Detmers won great fame at Academy for his stirring addresses to the student
body prior to some interscholastic clash. No rally would be complete without him.
He has never failed to respond when called upon on such an occasion. He has
never failed to arouse the dormant spirit and enthusiasm of the students; or to quell over-
confidence that might threaten victory.
Mr. Detmers has done much for Academy, the greatest of his accomplishments is
that he has won the whole-hearted respect of those with whom he comes m daily contact.
And we. who have been fortunate enough to know him. shall never forget him.
We, the class of '25, grasp this final opportunity to express the kindly feeling that we
hold and shall always hold for Mr. Detmers.

Mr. George Hoffenberg
Editor in Chief 1925 Academe.
May 4, 1925
Dear George:
I want to extend my congratulations on the
successful progress of your Plans for this year's
Academe. Apparently all the members of your staff
are live wires. The personnel of the staff usually
indicates the degree of success which the publi-
cation will enjoy.
You and your staff have quite a responsibility
resting on your shoulders this year due to the new
plan under which the Academe is being published.
True, this plan relieves you somewhat of responsi-
bility in connection with selling and collecting
for advertisements but it seems to me it gives ad-
ditional responsibility for high standards and real
merit in the Academe from a literary point of view.
I am sure that the staff fully realizes this re-
sponsibility and will measure up to it.
With such a Business Manager as you have this
year I am sure it is not necessary to mention that
all matters pertaining to this year's book should
be closed up at, or very shortly after, commence-
ment time. It is always easy to have the staff
carry out its plans until commencement time. It
is only the better one which feels its responsibil-
ity to the end.
I hope and believe that this year's Academe
will be more successful in every way than any prev-
ious issue of this publication.
Heartily yours.
Principal

A Short History of the February Class
On February twenty-eighth, hardy pioneer* of Academy High School broke the
path to mid-year graduation when their commencement exercises were held.
They were the hrst group to graduate from an Erie School al mid-year, and well
deserving were they of the honor. Though small in number they made up for it in
spirit
According to observers their class day exercises, those ceremonies traditionally
bound to graduating classes, were the best that had been given at Academy since the
foundation of the school. Everyone of the students participated with numerous feature*
that will long live in the memories of the beholder*. The class had all the fixtures that
go with graduation, even to the banquet that was held at Kahkwa Park Inn and attended
by every member of the class. Everyone had a fine time and voted the affair a total
success.
Their commencement exercises were brief but embodied all the dignity essential.
with especially fine speakers: namely Ward Campbell, who was president of the class
and Helen Jobes of debating skill.
Though many members of that class are out upon life's journey now. the Senior
class unites with the student body of the school in wishing them complete happiness in
their undertakings

Senior Class History
Though our eminently distinctive class had to start its high school education as
all others have to; by becoming Freshmen, we. because of our high intellectual ability
and naturally active dispositions endowed that title with honor and glory.
Somehow, hardly anyone knows how. we found ourselves after a short time in
possession of jade green and white as class colors and with the appropriate motto
"The class that says go."
We were aptly represented on the various athletic teams and even owned three
representatives to the Council of the student government that was in existence at that
time.
Our social life began auspicously when our first class party, held for some dim
reason, turned out to be a total, nay complete, success.
As Sophomores we became so proud of our new positions that we somewhat neg-
lected our social reputation and rested after our trying Freshman year However, we
were especially active in the Stadium drive and it is probable that our influential back-
ing made the campaign a success.
Later in the year some enjoyable dances and other social affairs brought us back
into the lime Light as a peppy class and this title we have never lost.
Various aspiring athletes of our class became famous in divers forms of sport and
we were represented upon every varsity team.
Entering our Junior year we became conscious of the fact that we had reached
the three-quarter-mark and were approaching the pinnacle of our hopes, to become
Seniors.
Though we sponsored several dances that were successful affairs, both socially
■ nd financially, our largest project was with the Union College Glee Club, whtch gave a
oncer! in the auditorium under our supervision that eclipsed all previous musicales.
Finally we were Seniors and it seemed but a day ago that we had been lowly
Freshmen of the Parinh type
Our class members were prominent about the school in all its branches and es-
pecially so in athletics. As for our social life it was one continuous round of activities.
• One of our hobbies was the Wednesday afternoon dances which took place one
day a week for a lengthy period. We held several other dances and were notably suc-
cessful in every way.
The mot hers'banquet tendered our class on May 12th, the first of its kind met the
commendation of everyone who attended the affair. Needless to say the entire class
turned out to put the banquet over and It was a great success.
Our four years* social activity culminated in the Senior Banquet, the dividing
place of friends. Everyone had an enjoyable evening at the last social gathering of
those who had spent the best days of life together.
"Dulcy." the class play, proved to be a well acted piece that played to a capacity
house, once again illustrating the executive ability of the "Class of 1925."
Speaking as mature Seniors who will shortly leave these homelike portals to be
scattered like chaff before the driving wind of life, we sincerely believe that our class
is the best of all classes for we have labored with one accord and will labor hard for the
welfare of the school. Our four years are done and we bid the school farewell thanking
it for the high principles of truth and loyalty that it has engraved upon our souls.

RUSSELL ADAMS
Talking about mathematicians Russell may be con-
sidered a second Mr. Detmers. Any one wanting advice
about their business affairs along the mathametical line
apply to Russell Adame. Russell may l»e a second Mr.
Detmers but he will never be a second Miss Jones.
HAROLD ALTHOF
“Biddy", as he is called is sure papular in Miss Tan-
ner s office. Always smiling, he laughs at worry and "as
to the future", he says. “Let it take care of itself.’’
EDNA AMY
"Therea fun in her eyes.
And sense in her head ’"
Edna’s friends know about the "fun" part and her
teachers can verify the statement concerning her good sense,
which means good marks.
NELSON ANDERSON
Y es, this is "Andy." The fellow whose favorite indoor
sports are eating and sleeping. He has done much for our
class and we shall miss his good humor and wit. when he
leaves for the University of Pennsylvania. Andy was just
beginning to get in the lime light of football when he was in-
jured and forced to atop playing.
RUGGLES APTHORPE

ANNA BAKER
She is one of our great athletic girls. The class of 1925
is proud to have a girl like Anna. We hope that some day
she will have charge of the athletics in Academy.
HELEN BARNES
Helen is mischevious and full of fun, and is just cram-
med full of giggles and smiles. Her motto is "Give a smile
and you will receive one in return." We are sure she will
be successful if she adheres to thia good motto.
MILDRED BAST
'Fond of work and fond of fun
as any lassie 'neath the Sun."
Mildred—perfectly, for she never shirks her work and
is always ready for a good time She enioys discussing
felty (?) subjects, but we all have our weaknesses.
JOSEPH BAUMAN
It cannot be said Joe is not a good fellow and he
is never ready to take advantage of a chance to play a
joke. He is quiet and secretly fond of the fair sex

KATHRYN BAUR
Kathryn is small, hut nevertheless she has brains, and
she uses them too. She is * very good friend of a certain
Harold. She loves the name Pauline, and fairly dotes on

HAROLD BECKER
Introducing Mr. Harold Becker, track man and financier.
If this young fellow can handle his money as well as he can
handle his feet on the cinders his future is assured. The
class expressed great confidence in Becker when they re-
elected him as treasurer for the second time. Without ex-
aggerating it. Becker has. in the course of his high school

tow line when it comes to women.

ties and is therefore very well known about the school. She

Smith College will be proud of her. “Mil," her car. and
Winnie are inseparable friends.
EDYTHE BLILEY
It is always highly gratifying Io feel that one haa been

art galleries of the old world, the paintings of an American
artist:--Edythe Bliley.

interested in Ford sedans.

letting us know she's with us.

scribee Edith better than a three page eulogy.
ERMA COLLINS
Merry, impulsive and jolly---that’s Erma. She takes the
bumps of lile with a smile. A girl with such an attitude
toward life is bound to succeed.
MARY CONWAY
Nature has failed to accomplish her purpose!
Though she made Mary jolly and happy-go-lucky as all
plump people are inclined to be, she could not even with the
aid of teachers and friends, make Mary dignified.
She is a spark of fun wherever she is.
ALMA COOK
Alma is one of our quiet kind---never has much to say

JOSEPHINE DE LAURO
Jo the girl we all know
Who was always excellent in her studies

Josephine ia some terpsichorean artist and when paired
with W. A. T. she certainly can step.
MYRNA DEVORE
Myrna was one of Academy's star debate students She
graduated with the February class and the loss of her ora-
torical ability is keenly felt. She was an active member of

RONALD DUNBAR
Ronald was a member of our championship tennis team
and it is rumored that Ronald is training very hard for a
match with Tilden, in which he intends to cop the tennis
crown. Ronald was one of the first students to graduate in
F ebruary.
EVELYN DUNLAVY
Although Evelyn came to Academy late in the term she
has gained many friends. Her golden hair and sweet person-
ality have made her well liked by all, especially a certain
young man in college

LINALYS ELLSWORTH
A smile, it costs you nothing-----this must be Linaly's

ALICE FARVER
We haven't heard much of Alice but those who know
her have found her a staunch friend. Here's success to
you al! through life, Alice. Though she appears very studi-
ous she is always ready to have a good time, and we like
her all the better for these traits.
LAWRENCE FELTY
It can easily be said that Lawrence is one of the finest
boys of '25. lie is very popular with the fairer sex. Besides
h>s love of fun there is at times a very serious mind which
few of us know. Of his future we know little but, "Well
begun is half done." and he certainly has made a good be-
ginning.
JOSEPH FERRARO
If you have ever heard a bird or a thunder storm com-
ing down the hall it is Joe.
His main object in life is to invent some new noise or
sound.
Never mind, Joe, if your collection of noises grows as
large as your collection of friends the State Militia will have
to be called out to investigate the rumpus.
JOSEPH FIORELLI
HnrkH Do you hear that noise? No, it is not the loot-
ball squad, it is Joe coming down the hall. Joe works as
vigorously as he walks.
From the manner in which he kept order in the cafe-
teria we are sure he will some day be Chief of Police.
HELEN FISHER
Her heart is like the moon, it is always changing.
And like the moon, there is always a man in it. A dear little.
sweet little, good little girl, is the verdict of all her friends.

AMOS K FLINT
This blond chap----with hia alow but deliberate way—
has a personality which has won for him oodles of friends

spring after spending an enjoyable five months stay tn South
America.
JOHN FOURSPRING
Though John ts an innocent, guileless youth hia pencil

GEORGE FREEBOURN
Great wisdom was shown by the class of '25 when they
made George Business Manager of the Academe.
Guiding the school journal safely around the rocks that
have wrecked so many of its predecessors is no easy task
and George has demonstrated that he is a financier as well as
a good student.
RALPH FRENCH
"Frenchy” is brilliant in many ways, but conspicuously
in one. Hie one hope, pride and joy is the jazz orchestra.

And could bake fine cakes and pies.
She left her Alma Mater,
Her sheep akin in her hand.
And in State Street's busy mart.
A position did promptly land
EMMA WELTHER
Emma. Emma is her name.
Many friendships she can claim.
Always happy, full of fun.
Always thinking of every one.
VERA WEST
Our Vera has many admirers, due to her sweet per-
sonality. She has put many a kink in------our girls' hair, and
we have often wondered what they would do if there were
no Vera in this school.
EVELYN WHITEMAN
Evelyn is one of these "quiet" girls whom you can't
appreciate till you know her She does good work in the
class-room, but she doesn't tell the world about it. And
there we have her----capable and modest; a good combina-
tion for success in this world.
BEATRICE WHITNEY
Have you ever heard her recite > If Beatrice goes forth
to conquer the world in the same manner in which she
studies, we know she will come out on top.

H ten, we know you will win in the long race of life.
BERTHA WILCOX
In all this busy business whirl.

On a Remington or an Underwood.
RUTH W ILHELM
The aim and ideal of Ruth is higher than the stars, and
•he's going to reach her goal for she is bound to. She is

young man (?) cherishes the friendship of Emma.
GEORGE W 1LSON

been in the past.
PAUL WIMER

about still water And say did you ever hear him play the
mandolin? He always gets in on the last note.
61
MARIE WUENSCHEL
Talking about "long finger*"—this young lady t* an
exception to the rule. Her long slim quick finger* and
efficient brain have made her one of the noted typists of
our school on the hill.
EVERETT ZURN

THE CALL OF THE GREAT OUT OF DOORS
By George R. Huber
From the dark sepulchral regions of my soul, creeps up a longing, which for seem-
ing ages seemed to have been chained down by many fetters of sorrow. It stirs my heart
within me so that I long to be gone. Every zephyr that reaches me forces a sigh to
come to my lips. I yearn to break the chains that hold tne pent up in thia confinement.
Every sight of the out of doors makes me try to break the bonds, but alas, the results
smother that ambition. There for miles reaches the landscape, beckoning, calling to
me to come forth, to revel in the present, to seek the hits and woods that lie serene and
still, calling me to leave and forget the place where walls dampen the fervor of my am-
bition Oh, why does this feeling of freedom, which like the wanderlust of my grand-
sires. stir up revolution in my pent up soul, which only increases my anguish?
"THE CALL OF NATURE"
By John Grasberger
The call of the wanderlust ia strongly upon me. The sweet singing of the birds,
the buzz of the bee. all these intermingled with the gentle blowing of the south wind
make this call almost impossible to resist. It calls me to journey to a certain thick
forest within whose bounds flows a beautiful stream of very deep and calm water.
Along the bank of this stream many beautiful flowers grow. When the wanderer
comes upon these flowers the wonderful fragrance they give forth makes him feel he
is in heaven In this forest I should like to be, but it is impossible because all this
beautiful scene ia one 1 see each spring, when the call of the wanderlust comes upon me.

CROSSING THE BAR
Sunset and evening star.
And one clear call for me!
And may there be no moaning of the bar.
When I put out to »e»
But such a tide as moving seems asleep.
Too full for sound and foam.
When that which drew from out the boundless deep.
Turns again home.
Twilight and evening bell.
And after that the dark!
And may there be no sadness of farewell.
When I embark
For tho' from out our bourne of Time and Place
The flood may bear me far.
I hope to see my Pilot face to face
When I have crossed the bar.
---Alfred Lord Tennyson.

Three year* ago a group of pupils entered Academy High School as Freshmen; they
were studious, brave, determined and as comes to those who are worthy, they were pro-
moted to the Sophomore Class, but they still persisted and so became Juniors.
They had capable advisers, excellent leaders and best of all co-operation from the
class ns a whole. They realized that next year they would be Senior* and as Senior*
they would need money to accomplish those things which that class must do
Their social activities proved worthy of their effort* and were as successful m
were their athletic activities.
This Junior Class is made up of fine material and Academy High School is proud
of them and we know that they will continue to strive for all that is honorable. We
salute the Seniors to be.

It is not often that you hear much of the activities of a Sophomore class, but this
class is different and we have heard about and attended many of their affair*.
The member* being young, are ambitious, eager to accomplish thing* and willing to
work. Usually when you find these characteristic* in a younger class, you can be sure that
at they progress along the way* and by-ways of learning they will do things which
will be an honor to their class and a benefit to their school-
The Sophomore Class officers were bound to make other* realize that there was a
Sophomore Class in the history of Academy High School which believes that it could
accomplish thing* other had failed to do and so believing those thing* were possible, they
proved such to be so. Yes. Sophomore*, we are proud of you.

"Wake I wake! Freshmen, wake!" Behold, the envious Rookies, who are now
entering the portals of our Alma Mater.
When we hear a rumpus in the hall we know who has instigated the quarrel; some
industrious Freshman has been trying to hurry to class and has incidentally trod on the
toe of an upper classman who finds it advisable to halt this lore seeking youth and to
gently relate to him the ways of one who is accustomed to taking a "little extra time;"
but then the Freshiea in their eagerness to get to class on time are setting a good example.
keep up the good work.
The Freshmen did not enter into the social whirl; but their presence was evident
at most of the athletic contests They have contributed nobly to athletics by giving us
candidates for our different organizations.

L. C. Drake
VX hen the School Board chose this man to head athletic* al Academy High School
they made a wise choice.
Mr Drake was born in Marion, Ohio on September 19, 1895. He was educated
an the public school* of that town, and later entered the high school at Ashtabula and
graduated from there in 1913.
In the same year he entered Allegheny College; in hl* spare hours he worked as
gymnasium instructor thus enabling him to continue hi* course At Allegheny he was
a member of the football team for three consecutive years. 1915-16-17 in which he
received the distinction of being chosen All-State Quarterback.
During his four years he was a regular on the track team and in his fourth year he
was elected captain. Drake held the Allegheny record for the 50 yard dash (5 3-5
seconds) indoor, and the low hurdle (outdoor) at 27 seconds. In his second year when
the college attempted a baseball team Drake was a regular on the squad. When Drake
graduated in 1917 Allegheny lost one of it* best all-round athletes.
At this lime he entered the Chautauqua School of Physical Education and Com-
pleted a four year course there. He is now continuing his education through the La
Salle Extension University law course. At the termination of this course he intends to
enter the bar.
Conch Drake has been with us for two years, and in thia short time he has pro-
duced two champion football team*, one champion basketball team; and indications point
to a champion track team this year.
Merril B. lams
Mr. Merrill B. lams, the "Faculty Athletic Advisor" at Academy High School was
born in Paterson, N. J., twenty-six year* ago. He lived there only a short time, soon
moving to Erie where he ha* lived ever since. He graduated from the old Erie High
School in 19 17. He continued hi* education at Allegheny from which he graduated
in 1921, Almost immediately after his graduation from Allegheny he was added to the
teaching staff of Academy High School a* teacher of chemistry In the latter part
of 1924 he was appointed "Faculty Athletic Advisor.”

Athletic Foreword
According to written record, athletic* at Academy High School have not been up to
the standard of previous years: but in the opinion of many they have far surpassed other
years.
This year in athletics, we have had to work under severe handicaps, the greatest of
which was the greenness of the material. Moat of the men on our teams were only in
their first year of competitive high school sport
Despite this, however, and despite the mediocre support of the students, the various
team* came through with flying colors It is the fighting spirit of Academy that conquered.
The prospects for next year are considered to be about the finest that we have ever
had. Most of the men on thia year’s teams are returning next year.
A* it was. this year we came through champions of the city in football and second
in basketball. We have the best of hope* for this year's track team, a* the material is
excellent.
Specially of note is the fact that for the first time in the history of Academy High
School, the team representing the school won in a basketball tournament. This tourna-
ment took place at Allegheny College in Meadville. Pa.

Football
On the opening day of school the well known call of 'all candidates for the football
team report in the gym tonight." was sounded by Manager Bradley Evans The result of
this call brought out some I 10 well meaning Americans who thought they would like to
play football.
Out of this large number of aspirants for the varsity football team Conch Lowell C.
Drake found that he had only four letter men (that had any experience at all) to fall
back upon namely: Hostettler who was chosen captain. Campbell and McMahon ends,
and Cummings a back field man.
To one unfamiliar wtth football that squad of 110 men looked like a hopeless task.
but Coach Drake after careful picking and sorting was able two weeks later to place
eleven men of the field to play their first varsity game of the 1924 season
September 16, Academy turned back North Elast by a score of 40 to 6. The follow-
ing Saturday the team traveled to Albion and defeated the country boys by a score of
32 to 0.
The fourth day of October the team went to Beaver Falls to experience their first
deeat by two touchdowns namely I 4 to 0.
The next week we met our ancient foes from Oil City and they marched off with a
victory to the score of 28 to O.
By this time the team was rounding into shape but they had not hit their stride so
we suffered two more defeats, the first by the future teachers at Edinboro Normal by a
score of 20 to 6 and the second from Buffalo Technical High School by a score of 1 3 to 0.
It is often said that the darkest hour is before dawn and so it was with Academy.
On November 1st Waynesburg High journeyed to Erie in hope of an easy encounter but
this they found not so, for Academy sent them home defeated 21 to 10.
The team then traveled to Tonawanda and lost a losing battle at that town 49 to 0,
after holding Tonawanda to a 2 I to 0 score for three quarters of the game.
The varsity next succumbed to the charms of Lakewood Fligh School of Cleveland
by a 44-0 score in a game fought at that city. Manager Bradley Evans though nursing a
broken ankle made the trip with the team.
86
Erie'a stadium was dedicated on Armistice day. November I I. when East played
Central for the right to meet u* in a city championship encounter East secured the right
by defeating Central by a 2 I to 0 count.
Academy played its first game in the Stadium on November 22 with Cathedral Pre-
paratory High School as their opponents and won by a single touchdown. 6 to 0.
On the morning of Thanksgiving Day a certain Erie paper proclaimed East High
School team as the Yale of Erie but like Napoleon of old that team found its Waterloo
in the Academy shifted team- Shifted because hardly a man played h>s regular sea-
sonal position, a thing which Coach Drake had planned and watched for all reason. They
held East zero to zero and had the ball up in East's section of the gridiron fully three-
quarters of the game, proving what a determined bunch of fellows can de and also that
a green team can be made into a championship team if there is a coach to do it. «n<l
this Conch Drake proved himself able to do.
To finish up the season a banquet was held in the Boston Store a week after the
Thanksgiving game, twenty men besides the manager, receiving their A'*.
The following players donned an Academy suit for the last time Thanksgiving'
Shenk. Heinlein, Gorton, Cummings. Guertin and Compbell.

Basketball
When the basketball call was sounded it was found that only two veterans were
available. Of the other candidates none had ever played varsity basketball.
Coach Lowell Drake had a hard proposition confronting him: the hardest schedule
that had ever been the lot of the Blue and Gold net men and only a green team.
Considering the odds the team did well. Two players were lost through in-
eligibility and another through injury. However they came through with six games
out of nineteen in the league and defeated Central to finish runners-up in the city series.
In addition they won the Allegheny Tri-State Tournament. Considering the fact that
several games were lost through small scores, two or three points in most cases, it can
be seen that the fellows made good.
The firat two games resulted in victories for the varsity; in the former with a 32-11
score against the De Molay. and in the second with a 27-2$ count over the Alumni.
An overtime period was necessary for the latter game but the team was too much for
the ex-Academy men
Rough going was encountered in the next few games when we dropped four in a
row to our opponents. In the Meadville contest on January 9, the score was 19-20
in favor of the downstaters.
On January 17, we administered Warren a decided beating, the final count being
3 3-23. It was a fast game replete with thrills holding the spectators' attention from
start to finish.
Franklin proved a little too strong for us a few days later and we were forced to
accept a three point beating, the score being 21-24.
On January 27. against East High, the Sunrise outfit were returned victors by a
13-30 count. The fellows played their best but were not capable of beating the East
team.
Lafayette made it two games in one season at our expense when they handed us
a 15-49 score with us on the short end.
February 3. we played Central and lost in a fast game with a 13-11 decision. The
team did not lose their spirit however but fought until the final whistle.
90
We fell victim to the charms of Titusville on February b. to a 31-45 count and
were forced to return home without the scalp that we had traveled after.
On February 13. anything but unlucky too. we staged a come-back and defeated
Meadville handily 48-19 avenging the earlier defeat they had given us.
Oil City was a little strong and we were forced to be content with a 23-36 score.
On February 20 we bowed to Warren, the final count being 36-44 and a week later
Franklin triumphed by a 2 1-26 count.
During this time the support of the team by the students had not been what it
should. A small but enthusiastic group attended every home game we played and gave
the team encouragement.
But we turned at last on March 3, took a little trip to the Y. M. C. A. where we
met Central and gave them the surprise of their lives when the final score returned us
victors by a 33-23 verdict. When the game started we swept the Red and Black off their
feet and were leading at the end of the first quarter by a targe margin. Central caught up
and when the half ended the score was tied I 6 all. When the game was three-quarters over
Central piled up a safe lead of four points that were soon brushed away by the vigorous on-
slaughts of our men. With one minute and fifteen seconds to go Captain Bud Gordon
dribbled the length of the floor surrounded by the Central men and sunk a side-court
counter and made good two free throws which he was awarded- Central made another field
goal but it was too late the game was over and when the combat had subsided we
had won and defeated a Central team upon its home floor for the first time in the history
of the school.
The next week we played East before a record crowd but the team lacked the
punch that had beaten Central so they succumbed to a 21-34 score.
Sometime later we beat Central in the deciding game of the city series by a 21-17
score, doing what all other Academy teams have tried in vain to do when we finished
in second place in the city ranking.
At Allegheny, where we were given only an outside chance to win, we defeated
Belle View and Allegheny High Schools of Pittsburgh and returned home possessors of
a silver shield as winners of the Allegheny Tri-State Tournament.
A world of credit is due to Coach Drake and the players who worked hard all
season and finished as * smooth working, well balanced aggregation that rose to victory
in a crisis and upset "Old Man Dope" as did the football team.

Track History
Academy can well be proud of her track team thia year as a he has been in yean
past. Coach Drake did not have much to work with, but with a few men like Capt. Flick,
Guerrien. Nelson and Becker he was able to build up a smooth working combination.
Ashtabula was Academy's first victim. They came down to try to offset their
defeat of last year but were turned back by a score of 85 to 2 3. In thia meet Harvey
Nelson broke the city record of 22 years standing in the high by going over the bar at
5 feet 6j/j inches.
The team then traveled to Cleveland to participate in the Lakewood Relays. Here
we captured the Class A Mile Relay. The team was composed of Flick, Becker. Lewis
and Laird. Through a misfortune of one of our runners we were just nosed out in the
880 Relay.
If the team comes through in the remaining meets as it did in the first two there
will be no doubt aa to Academy's making a strong bid for the championship honors at
the City Interscholastic meet.
With such individual stars as Nelson in the high jump. Guerrein in the shot put.
and the different relay teams composed of the best runners in the school. Academy
should not hesitate to support the best track team it has ever produced.
The Stadium has done a great deal for other lines of athletics, and it will benefit
the track in the same way. so let every loyal Academy student come out and support
the track in which Academy has always shown off some of her best athletes.
To Manager Walter Lancaster goes the credit of arranging one of the hardest
schedules an Academy track team has ever gone through. To Coach Drake goes credit
for producing a team of which we can well be proud,

The swimming season of 1925 was not a success entirely but showed the stick-loit
spirit of the Academy Ash, who though up against discouraging odds and with little sup-
port. gave their best in every meet, it was the first season lor all of the embryo acquatic
stars, no letter men being available from other years.
About 30 candidates responded to Coach John Kamora's first call and after several
weeks of steady work were weeded down to a squad of fourteen men. this number being
the seasonal standard.
The first meet was held with East High in our home pool. Our members made a
gallant attempt but East was more experienced and carried the laurels. 54-14. Flick
and Jones made the best showing in this meet in the back and breast stroke respectively.
The next meet was held with Central in the "Y” pool Central with Cross. Surre.
and Gillespie was of much stronger calibre, and took us over 56-12. Schauble and Flick
were tied for high honors by scoring the same number of points each. There was a good
audience but mostly Central adherents.
Following the meet were several intensive practices before we again went up against
the city champs. Unfortunately we were badly crippled for this meet, with Jennings
out with a sprained ankle. Flick with an infected foot, and Foht. Jones and Schneider
ineligible. However the score was held to 5 7-11. Schauble heading the scoring for
Academy with Parsons a close second.
At the present writing there remains one meet with East High in which we hope to
be back at full strength, and so have every expectation of bringing home the bacon
Coach John Kamorn and Manager Glenn Osborne are to be commended for their
earnest efforts on behalf of the team
The chief scorers so far are Schauble, who has the most points, Flick, who is a close
second and Parsons who is but one point behind second place.

Nine rah* for the pioneers of girls* athletics at Academy, for they certainly are in
need of all the support available. Last year these girls represented Academy and
brought home the bacon by copping the city championship but received little or no recog-
nition for their splendid showing.
This year candidates were called for in September and over fifty turned out from
which number nine girls were chosen to represent Academy in her acquatic meets. These
girls have worked diligently and have progressed rapidly under the instruction of Coach
Frances C. Roesch.
For the first time in the history of Erie an out of town girls* swimming team was
brought here for a swimming meet which on April 3 made its initial appearance in the
swimming circles of Erie Although the Cleveland girls were victorious the Academy
girls were not down hearted because of their defeat but were only spurred on to do better
The swimming team defeated the Evening Stars and the East High School teams in
the earlier part of the season but were defeated by East High and the Cleveland Y. W.
C. A. teams later.
The team is now awaiting the triangular meet when the scholastic championship will
be at stake, and it is in hopes of again pulling the Academy surprise stunt by carrying
off the honors.

That the lennis team of 1925 wilt not fall behind the teams of other year* is prac-

out II has a smooth working and able combination of players. The organization of the
learn is due to the initiative of certain followers of the sport at school In its initial

The Chemistry Club is composed of those who have taken or are taking chemistry.
Two meetings a month are held. One. after school in the chemistry room, which i* purely
a discussion of the plans and business affairs of the club; the other is devoted to the study
of chemistry. The program for this meeting is made up of a business meeting and talks
on recent discoveries made by prominent chemists. An interesting experiment is usually
performed by one of the members. After the program refreshments are served and a
social time enjoyed
The Chemistry Club was formed not only to promote the social side of life but also
Io bring before its members the recent discoveries and inventions that have been, made
along the line of chemical research. It helps us to keep up to the minute in science and
by doing this it creates an interest in chemistry such as can be gained in no other way.
We are planning to lake a trip to the Hammermill Paper Co. and see the various
steps in the making of paper. In the near future we also expect to visit the plant of the
Erie Pure Ice Co. and see how the principles of expansion of gases applies to our every-
day life,
The original officers of thia dub are to be congratulated for their success in establish-
ing this organization, the members also are to be commended for their interest and co-
operation,

1 he Clio Club of 1924-1925 has through the assistance of its faculty advisors. Miss
Herat and Miss Ehasson. just closed a most successful year, both socially and educationally.
At each meeting, a very interesting sketch of some famous historical character or
period was given by a member. In this way, the students learn to appreciate history.
On the social side, the club has sponsored many activities. The first social event on
our social calendar was a dance in the Girls' Gym on Hallowe’en.
Then our annual banquet was held at the Pulakos Tea Room. Thia banquet is still
being talked about, for it was a great success. Immediately after Lent, the members en-
joyed themselves at a spring picnic. As a fitting close to the activities we sponsored
another dance in the Girls* Gym in May
Miss Betst presented the club with a picture, '"The Dance of the Nymphs,' which

In the annals of our school history nothing is more worthy of mention than the
Latin Club. Its very name hears dignity and its aim is praiseworthy indeed. Founded
a number of years ago to stimulate interest in the study of the Latin language; to en-
lighten its members in everything pertaining to the Romans, and to make, as far as possi-
ble, the study of that language which is oft looked upon with dread by the student, a
pleasant and interesting one. To that end the teachers have assisted by officiating at the
bi monthly meetings, suggesting topics for discussion and aiding in the arrangement of
the programs to be given by the students,
By way of preparation for the Roman banquet, the club entered extensively into the
study of the Roman feasts. Sub topics were taken up in the following order: ’’Cereals,”
Lucia Burton; “Roman Meats,” Dorothy Henderson: ’’Olives and Olive Oils," Gwendolyn
Stump; “Grapes and Beverages,” Carlyle Ruhl: ■'Decorations and Customs of the Roman
Banquet.” Mary Cecelia Horn; and "Dining Methods," Doris Henderson.
The banquet which was held April 17th. in the school cafeteria, was a great success
The courses of food, mode of serving and the entertainment which followed were copied
as nearly as possible from the Romans.
The social side of the club has been very enjoyable. Many hikes were taken in the
Autumn and Spring; food sales were held, which materially increased the funds; and
frequent social gatherings, during the winter made the club an important factor in school
functions.
We, the members of the Latin Club, during the year 1924-2 5 have taken great
pride in our club and we trust that those following in our footsteps may find as much
pleasure in it as we have. May it continue throughout the years to come and may it
mean much to Academy High School
To be a member of the Latin Club is quite the thing.

In the latter part of the first semester a group of students interested in the various
sciences formed a club for the purpose of furthering the study of science. The club was
to stimulate interest along the line of science and to study it in all its forms. Trips to
various points of interest were to be included among the activities of the organization
The club was open to all students studying or having studied any of the sciences
They chose Mr. Davis and Mr. Morse as their faculty advisors. Sigmund Gorney
was elected President; Edna Branch. Secretary; and Perry Wood, Treasurer. These offi
cars served until the end of the first semester.
Under the direction of lively committee* many interesting program* were given.
The club held it* meeting* bi-weekly and at one of the meetings a debate was given by
John Sterrer, Leonard Smith. Mildred Brown, and Harriet Merritt on the subject: Resolved,
That insects act from intelligence.
The organization was now taking definite form and was in need of a set of rules. A
committee, consisting of active members George Scheffner. Harry Kuhns. George Yochim,
Edna Branch, Mildred Brown and Evelyn Whitman was appointed for the purpose of
drawing up a set of laws to govern the future activities of the club.
Following an interesting and enjoyable musical program given by members of the
club, the committee presented the constitution and by-law* of the organization
The club began to arouse interest and attract attention when it presented motion
pictures of a trip through Yosemite National Park.
At the first meeting of the new semester the officer* for the spring term were elected.
They were Mildred Brown. President; Sigmund Gorney, Secretary, and Perry Wood.
Treasurer. The faculty advisors of the preceding semester were retained.
During the meeting the members were entertained by an interesting talk on "Radio"
given by John Sterrer and by the reading of a letter written by the great biologist. Charles
•lirwin. A delightful musical and dancing program lent enjoyment to the evening.
In February the club held its first social event of the season when a dance was
given in the girl’s gym. The Rosebud Novelty Boys furnished the music and the affair
was a success both socially and financially.
The club is eagerly awaiting the spring, when plant and animal tile resume* its
course and when Nature can be studied at her best. It is the intention of the club to make
many trip* to the nearby fields and countryside For the purpose of studying in their native
haunts., bird*, insect*, and flowers. For those whose interest lie* along the more practical
lines of science the organization i* planning trips to various commercial plants where
interesting processes will be studied
The club is active and wide awake and it* member* look Forward to an interesting
and active future.

The Friendship Club did not get started at the beginning of school in September, but
was held over until February. 1925. when many new members were admitted, who had
originally been connected with the Y. W C. A. organization of Roosevelt Jr. High. With
the entrance of these girls into the club the membership swelled until it went over the
century mark.
The Club has been very active and started out for a successful year by entertaining
the new members on March lists club luncheon. On March 2b the club dressed lolly-
pope for the immigrant children of Ellis Island. When the Academy Girls' Swimming
Team brought the Cleveland Y. W. C. A. team to Erie for * meet on April 3. the Friend-
ship Club entertained the girls of both teams with a light luncheon.
The Friendship Club has lived up to it* purpose by promoting friendliness among

After the banquet, which was held in the school cafeteria, the College Woman's
Club provided a delightful entertainment in the form of a playlet followed by aesthetic
dancing by three little girls Billy Miller's Orchestra then appeared on the scene, and
the remainder of the evening was spent in dancing in the gym. which presented a gay
appearance with its unique decorations of multi-colored streamers and gaudy balloons.
It was a very enjoyable affair and we hope that the "get-togethers"' may be frequent.

one of the more recently organized clubs of the school, having been formed at the be-
ginning of the second semester.
Owing to the fact that the club is still in its infancy, it has not been heard from as
some of the older established clubs have, but it is believed by the members that in time it
will come more into the limelight A candy sale was held on April 29. when the Pitt Glee
Club wns here. A number of the Smilers and their friends hiked to Waldameer in the
latter part of May.

Debating
Academy has had but three debater so far this year, two with Warren High School
on the queat ion, "Resolved, That the United State* should join the League of Nationa
now.** In both case* we were outclassed by the Warren debaters. The third question
was. "Resolved, That the United States should give the Philippines their independence
now." Our opponents were the debaters from Central High The decision was in our
favor. At the time of the writing of this article a contest is being arranged with East
High Academy by its defeat of Central won the right to challenge them to a debate for
the cup which East has held for two years.
Our debaters were all inexperienced men and have made wonderful progress.
Academy hopes to have a larger program next year and with experienced men like
Finlay and Ruaterholtz and Harris, we may look forward to a successful year. Mr.
Dimorier has had charge of the work. The teams this year were made up of Laird
Harris, David Finlay, Eugene Graney, Wallace Ruaterholtz and James Hamilton.

JOURNALISM CLASS
Journalism Class
In the fall of 1924 when the Academy foothall squad pranced out upon the field
for its first practice, another squad formed the first journalism class at Academy. Since
that time the students of the school have been able to read the scholastic activities in
the daily newspapers, and this year's Academe contains many noteworthy writings by
members of the class.
Mr. C. C. Radder has worked faithfully with this inexperienced group of enthusi-
asts until he has the present day product; students of both sexes writing daily for the
Erie newspapers. Mr. Radder has reared these cubs into genuine reporters and has
developed a staff that is publishing the rejuvinated school paper. The word destination
means much to the teacher of the journalism class, and at the rate he is traveling he
will soon be publishing a universal paper with that staff of his.
In future years what student of Academy will not purchase the daily newspapers
of his city? To the reader who follows sports, the journalism class of 1925 offers re-
porters who by 19 30 will be doing all the work of the city papers. These are: Harry
Barron. Sherman Hickey, Carlyle Ruhl. Vance Brooks, John Everhart and Dick McClellan.
The readers of "Society” will be guided by Ruth Clark, Margaret Owens, Harriet Merritt.
Phyllis Carter. Lucile Cotton and Eleanor Quinn. Then those who want news stories
of murder, city hall activities, court trials and other happenings of the day will have
the following to write for them: Eugene Graney. Freda Gabin, John Donaducy. Chester
McGraw. Robert Anderson. Merle Crowell, Bill Gety. William Goetz. Frank Grande and
Charles Rettger. For the children Ken Schauble will produce the leading comic strip,
entitled. "The man who reads, leads." including visions of his career in the Academy
library.
Erie may have 200,000 population by 1930. but there will be only twenty-one
professional newspapermen in the city, and these will have been created in our journal-
ism class of 1925. They are going to cling together and produce a real paper of which
the Academy Star is a miniature example.
In closing words, our "Journalism” is to "Academy" as "Transportation" is to the
"World."

Music Foreword
Music at Academy has reached a higher standard than has ever before been reached
by any high school in Erie. In music we can compare well with almost any high school
in the country.
We have a band of fifty-three pieces; an orchestra of fifty-one pieces; girls* chorus
of fifty-three voices and a boys* glee club of twenty-four voices.
Our musical organizations have given several very satisfactory concerts, both from
a musical and financial standpoint.
Our orchestra has reached a high degree toward perfection. It has performed num-
bers which are not considered within the scope of high school orchestras and which
would tax the abilities of orchestras composed of professional musicians
The same can be said for our band.
These two organizations, the orchestra and the band, are to take part in a concert
at New Castle later in the year. We think they have an excellent chance of winning some
of the prizes
The girls' chorus was revived again this year and under the excellent leadership of
Morton J. Luvaai has astonished all by its excellency of performance.
The boys* glee club was just started late in the year, but much is expected of it. It
is also under the baton of Mr. Luvaas.

ACADEMY ORCHESTRA
EP
Academy Orchestra
The Academy High School Orchestra, under the direction of Prof. W. S. Owens.
has won great praise wherever it has played.
Prof. Owens was made director of the Orchestra the second semester of nineteen
twenty-four, succeeding Mrs Stughlon. who was forced to give up the work on account
of ill health. Under Prof. Owens' instruction the Orchestra has reached a high degree
toward perfection.
The members have done their part by paying earnest attention to their work and
daily practice. The Orchestra has rendered music for almost all the school activities; and
io in great demand for social events.
The organization has made a tour of the surrounding towns and furnished musical
entertainments. It has always been very well received, and commended highly for its
fine work. It has grown rapidly and now has a membership of fifty-one. It is hoped that
by next year the Academy High School Orchestra will be the best of its kind in Penn-
sylvania.
We. the students of Academy High School, wish to thank and commend Prof. Owens
and the Orchestra for fine work.

ACADEMY BAND
Academy Band
Through the combined effort* of it* capable director. Prof. W. S. Owen*, and its
members the Academy High School Band ha* gained the reputation of being one of the
best band* of the stale. The number of instrument* in the band has steadily increased
until now there are a great many pieces. It ha* rendered the music for basketball
and football games a* well a* playing at many concert*, meetings, and contest*.
When the Pennsylvania State Association met at Erie last year the Academy Band
gained state wide recognition by rendering most of the music for the occasion.
A* a result of the good playing on this occasion the band was invited by a professor
who is interested in High School musical organizations, to participate in a musical con-
test at New Castle.
At a contest in Pittsburgh, open for all the band* of the State, the Academy band
distinguished itself.
The Kiwanis and the Lions Club came to Academy to hear our band ploy. The
comments were entirely in our favor, pronouncing it the best High Schoo! band in the
city.
Under the further direction of Prof. W. S. Owen* we are assured that the Academy
Band will not only increase its instrumentation, but will improve still more in quality until
it can be called one of the very be*t bands in the country.

In the fall of 1924. under the able management of Professor Dimorier, there sprang
into being a musical aggregation known as “The Giris' Chorus *'
The chorus is composed of fifty-eight voices, with Louise Ohmer a* solis» Under
the efficient direction of Mr. M. J. Luvaas it has in the short space of one season, de-
veloped into a chorus of which Academy is proud. One interesting fact about the chorus
is that it is one of the few choruses which sing unaccompanied. On some occasions the
chorus is represented by an octet, which consists of picked voices.
When singing, the girls wear quite a unique costume designed by Miss Carrol of the
art department. The costume consists of a gold banded smock of blue over a skirt of
white, with cap of blue and gold. These costumes were made by the sewing class under
the direction of Miss Schaper; while the caps were the work of Mr. Waha'i millinery class.
The public work of the chorus consisted first of concerts in various local churches
and a sing at East Hi Its debut made, and stage fright over, it sang at the Columbia
Theatre, and later gave a spring concert to a packed house. May 14, at the Masonic
Temple.
Invitations out of town were accepted, and a very enjoyable trip was made to Cam-
bridge Springs to sing at the high school, followed by a banquet at the Riverside. A musi-
can contest was also entered at Dunkirk.
At the close of the season the chorus was very delightfully entertained by Mr.
Luvaa* at the First Baptist Church
We trust that the Girls* Chorus of Academy Hi may be continued throughout the
years to come as successfully as in it* initial year.

Everett Zurn managed the play in a capable manner and Edmund Knoll, of wide
theatrical experience, coached the students. The result was a finished product acted in
faultless manner; and assisted by wonderful scenery and lighting effects.
It was without doubt one of the best comedies that was ever given in an Erie school,

FORDS 1 HAVE LOVED
By Charles Murphy
Very few of those patricians who drive high class cars. Chevrolets and Overland*,
can understand anyone's loving a Ford. But to the initiated ten million, that love is a
very real one Deprive one of them of his Ford and he, within a short time, will die an
agonizing death.
My first or puppy love was for one known to her immediate associates as Wide
Open. She was of the touring type, which was an error on the part of her builder. She
was more suited to stationery labor. The longest tour on which she was voaxed
was to Waldameer. While there she became embarrassed because of strange surround-
ings and had to be towed back to more familiar territory.
A* the pet name suggests she carried no top. making for pleasant going in rhe
rainstorms, which infallibly appeared when we were farthest from port.
A second season for this moniker was that it was necessary to carry the throttle
wide open at all times to keep out of the clutches of the law. No. not speed to get
away, but to speed up enough not to obstruct traffic
Once in a while, usually in a traffic jam, a spasm would come over her and she
would cut loose like a rookie pitcher.----all speed and no control. After such an out-
burst she would calm down and finally faint away, blocking traffic for blocks.
She finally passed out during a fit of delirium tremens, brought on by an overdose
of radiator solution. In this fit she argued the right of way with a ten ton truck loaded
with sand. Two representatives of the Rubin's Mortuary shoveled up the scant remains.
and carried them away amid much unsympathetic laughter from an idiotic audience of
bystander*.
For a time I had dark thought* of suicide.---later, sinister thoughts of murdering the
truck driver.---still later, thought* of becoming a wanderer over the face of the earth.
or of taking a job a* lighthouse keeper on a desert island.
Then I met my second love, She is an eccentric damsel. Some previous owner in
the dim dark days gone before had broken the brake drum, and so it is necessary to use
the reverse pedal as brake. This gentle procedure cause* her to hop violently at every
stop; hence the nickname----Kangaroo.
Another of her eccentricities is her preference for deep rutted mud or sand roads
On good, navigable macadam or concrete she buck* and jerk* enough to churn butter in
•kimmed milk, but in well nigh impassible mud she settle* into the harness and pulls like
* Stutz
Nest fall I am going to take Kangaroo to California. She is becoming somewhat
wheezy and I hope the climate will improve her health.

OUR SUMMER ON THE FARM
By Erma Collin*
I wai all run down and the doctor ordered a complete change for me, co my sister
and I decided to run the farm that our grandfather had left u» in hie will the winter
before We had never farmed but thought that we knew a great deal about it.
The first of May found u* firmly established in out cory little vine-covered farm-
house I he spring had come early and our Aral thought was to prepare a stony piece
of ground for wheat. In one corner of the field were several large stumps. We had
heard that dynamite would have to be used to uproot them My tester, Nell, suggested
that we get one large stick of it, and that would tear them all out at once. The next
day. which was Saturday, I put a cushion in the wagon and went to town with Molly, the
mule.
I procured the dynamite and placed it on the cushion by my aide, hoping that
Molly would not get excited on the way home and bounce it off. Just after we started
for home it began to ram, and she seemed to sense that danger was behind, for when
we were about halfway home she cast a leery eye over her shoulder and bolted, then
went tearing down the road at breakneck speed The front of the wagon suddenly dropped
into n rut, and the jolt sent the dynamite, cushion, and all into the bottom of the rig, and
pitched me after it Then Molly stopped dead still, thinking she had done her worst.
and refused to budge. I got out, I urged, I coaled. I petted, but all in vain. I offered
her grass, I told her stories, but she absolutely refused to move. Fearing she would
have a sudden change of mind, I took the dynamite and deposited it by the roadside.
Seeing this, Molly trotted off leaving me nothing but the dynamite, with not even the
cushion to sit on. Fortunately I was not far from home, so with the dynamite held
gingerly in my hand. I walked the rest of the way. I arrived sometime later to find
Molly waiting at the gate. I put her up, ate my supper, and went to bed.
Early next morning we went out to clear the field. We dug a hole at the foot of
a large stump and placed the dynamite in it. We fastened a long fuse to it and ran to
the house. It was not long before we heard a terrible explosion. It shook the ground
and broke a few windows We went out to see if the stumps were gone and found to
our dismay, a hole large enough to set a house in. The neighbors came stringing in to
find out what had happened, st they usually looked to us for the unusual.
The field was beyond repair, so we decided to plant our potatoes. 1 went to the
neighbors for the seed. After I returned we started to prepare them for planting, 1
pared them while Nell cut out the eyes and sliced them. The next day we planted them
and ran the drag over SO that the ground would be smooth. We waited and watched
daily for the potatoes but as they did not come up. I decided to cultivate them. As
there was no way by which to know where the potatoes were planted, I started al the
edge. It was not long before I Found rotten potatoes.
1 was so discouraged I quit, and then made up ray mind to run a small dairy. When
we had the cows ready to turn into the pasture. Nell thought we had better turn them in
the lane while we mowed the field as we were afraid they would get lost in the quack grass,
and we would be unable to find them.
After some weeks finding that the cows did not thrive, we sold them and took to
raising hogs. When the pigs came we found they were small and we decided to keep them
in lhe laundry house while we built a pig-pen The laundry was a budding with one large
room. In one corner was .a large spill, which was used to carry waste water from the
laundry to the creek. We had forgotten about the spill when we shut the little pigs in the
laundry. The next morning two farmers came and told u* that they had found six little
pigs drowned in lhe creek—our little pigs- We were so discouraged that we went back
to town vowing never to try farming again.

Written by an Eighth Grade Student.
The profession in which I am interested now is the work of a missionary. A mis-
sionary cannot be an illiterate person by any means He has to be the preacher, teacher,
doctor, mason and carpenter. He must teach the heathen hie faith, how to read and write
their language, and do calculating. He must know how to fight disease, perform minor
operations and improve sanitary conditions in the community.
To be a missionary one must have great patience, possess a Stirling character and
know how to help people who come to him in distress. He must also be strong in the
hour of affliction.
A person could not start out for a foreign country without some previous training.
He must have attended some college or seminary, taking the course of a teacher and
preacher. He must also know the rudiments of carpentering and bricklaying. (I am
using the requirements of a Baptist missionary.) He must be baptized on confession of
his faith and have a religious experience.
The missionary is paid a yearly salary by the American Baptist Missionary Board.
This goes toward food, clothing and shelter. Also for the Bibles, school books and tracts
he needs. In case he dies while in the field a fund is provided to support his widow and
children.
His hours of work are "from the rising of the sun unto the going down of the same."
Once or twice a year (in case of sickness) he comes home on furlough for a week or
more. His work is a holy work, therefore he must take no lengthy vacations
One of the advantages is to be able to see at least part of the world and at the same
time be doing good. Another advantage is the privilege of serving humanity.
If one* mission compound happens to be in a country where the people are canna-
balistically inclined, there is always the danger of being decapitated and being the piece-
de- resistance of somebody's Christmas dinner or being shipped back to America as was
done to Rev. Cyrus Hamlin, who later became our greatest missionary in the Ladrone
Islands.
On a missionary compound there is little chance for advancement the fact being there
are no "highs" or "lows" there; all are equal. Of course, there is the opportunity to
rise in the esteem of your co-workers.
There is. 1 am glad to say. great opportunity for service in the fact the very warp
and woof of the missionary system is service, service to oneself, to others, and to God.

SCHOOL SPIRIT YE TOWNE GOSSIP
By Harriet Merritt
No matter how vague or indi«-

rune through the heart of every

interest to a group.
With ut the red thread is school
spirit--that queer, catchy feeling
that makes us want Io protect every-
thing that bow* to the Gold and
Blue, and to crush anything that
might harm it.
But the perfect scarlet of the
thread must not be smeared with
the mud of class-room failures To
be worthy of standing abreast with
our "Alma Mater" our record* must
declare that we have paid the price
with our best effort*. Not only on
the field must our hearts flame with
loyalty, but also as we struggle with

SUCCESS
By John Donaducy
Of all the oratorical deliver*,,. ,a
made in Academy High S<h< ,u...
toriurn. while I was a student tker*.
I find a professor's lecture on
"Three A’s in Success" has been
most beneficial to me. and possibly
to all who are minus one or two ot
the A’s needed for success.
Every living creature ha* m it
some type of ability. Ability, there
fore , is God-given; it is in the soul,
and should be fostered by Xrnbition
and Action.
It one aspires to reach a goal he
covets, it is hit ambition. Some have
no real ambition; their ambition u
merely to drift in the tide of life,
and to fall into the cataract un-
mourned and leave nothing behind to
perpetuate their memory Some hav-
ing Ambition depend on Dame For-
tune to see that their prominence
in life i* realised; procrastination is
their master; Ability and Ambition
are dormant in them
Action i* the hardest to contend
with. Lack of will-power, pro-
crastination, Indolence. Wilfullness
and folly are a few trait* that deter
the function of Action
There is no such thing a* a born
genius A genius is merely a person
having great capacity for learning
vnd Ability in a superlative degree.
Shakespeare had little schooling but
surpassed every other living man in
the art of literature. He war not
born to it. though his boundless
Ability, coupled with the Action af
observing Nature and proclaiming it
in his themes, brought him the Am-
bition, which he hardly looked for
The fact that he wanted to write for
a livelihood show* clearly that be
had Ambition, but not the kind that
one usually think* of—the Ambition
of higher classification in the Story

Captain Hick, when I asked him
pi whnt his success was based, an-
twered that the success of an athlete
depends on three things: sleep, sleep
snd more sleep.
Today is the Inst time that Flick
■nil represent his school on the ath-
letic field, although it is very prob-
able that he will add more fame to
the great Wale University along
other lines. When questioned about
his future occupation, he replied.
I have been offered a contract by
the Erie School Board to become
principal of Academy High School.
as Principal C. W. McNary wishes to
vacate his office. I have had a little
experience in running and believe it
will be easy for me to run academy."

CLAMP
_______
New York. June 30.-----As usual
Walter Clamp's All-American team.
which has just been announced, has
been the brunt of criticism in many
quarters.
Mr. Clamp, the successor of the
late Walter Camp, for the first time
has selected only one team and with-
held his selections until the annual
championship tournament was play-
ed in May. and Morter Down ad-
judged the Champions.
His line-up is as follows:
Flump Campbell----Bevo-On-Tbe-
Lake —___.........______Right End
Leo McMahon, Morter Down
___________..................... Left End
Bill Blotter--Little Noise _______
, ___________.........—— Right Tackle
Norman Shenk----Cor. School of
Bumming Left Tackle

Sherman Hickey----Morter Down—
___________—Right Guard
Gerry Sweet---Ann Appleus __....
—____...._____________ Left Guard
Edward Heinlein---Yeast Point ——

John Grassburger--Swanvard—___
__________________ Quarterback
Rudolf Flick--Swatmore _______
____..........._______—Right Half
Hans Guerrin--Harry and Mary—
______-_____________________Left Half
William Frame---Joliet Teck __....
___________—__________ Full Back
The principal criticism has cen-
tered about Blotter, who. it is as-
serted by several critics, is only a
fair player. But in the estimation
of the writer who saw him play •ev-
eral times, he is a hard man who
■oaks up his share.
Ten of the men on the Clamp
team played on the far-famed Ac-
ademy team of 1924-25. when they
defeated some of the best teams in
the country.

Academe Popularity Contest
For the first time in the history of Erie, a school annual has attempted and suecess-
lully carried through, a popularity contest. Because of the success of thia attempt, it is
hoped that it will be an annual affair.
The winner of the first Academe popularity contest is Helen Fisher. We wish to
congratulate Helen on her victory, •<
Helen is not only popular but is also an excellent student
and an actress of ability.
Her ability aa a student has been shown throughout her high school career. Her
histrionic ability has been shown in her excellent portrayal of the title role of that well
known comedy "Dulcy.”
We wish Helen the best of luck and success throughout life, and may she brighten
the liven of others as she has brightened ours in our high school years.

OPPORTUNITY
This 1 beheld, or dreamed it in a dream:—
There spread a cloud of duet along n plain;
And underneath the cloud, or in it. raged
A furious battle, and men yelled, and sword?
Shocked upon swords and shields. A prince's banner
Wavered, then staggered backward, hemmed by foes.
A craven hung along the battle's edge,
And thought. "Had 1 a sword of keener steel---
That blue blade that the king's son bear*—but this
Blunt thing—I" he snapt and flung it from his hand.
And lowering crept away and left the field.
Then came the king's son. wounded, sore bestead.
And weaponless, and saw the broken sword..
Hilt buried tn the dry and trodden sand.

Lifted afresh he hewed his enemy down.
And saved a great cause that heroic day.

Tablets—but not of Paper
When Sennacherib was preparing to take his Assyrain
hordes down through Asia Minor 2600years ago, he gathered
together his army stores and recorded the receipts of grain
and cattle as a matter of accountancy.
k
But the records of Assyria about 700 B. C. were not
those of America in this year of grace, 1925. They used
tablets for their writing, but their tablets were of clay and
the book-keeper could never tear a sheet loose to put it in a
file. Their records were enduring enough, but it must have
been quire a job to dig the proper receipt from a barrel of
tablets that had been collecting for ten years.
Today the tablet is still a favorite writing surface, used
by every school child. Today's tablet of white paper, light
and convenient, bought for a nickel or a dime, is vastly
better than those that Sennacherib with all his wealth could
command.
