distinction; ana in this way, to create a greater loyalty to and a deeper

love for our Alma Mater.

Early last fall, the Faculty Club of W. H. S. was organized for this school year. Before the close of school last spring Esther Walker was elected President and Aimee Terry, Secretary and Treasurer.

The activities of the club have been varied and in everything attempted t he whole facu lty has given its loyal support. The Club developed its social side by means of dinners given every month in the kindergarten of the school and also other parties held at the various homes of the faculty. The Book Club idea was continued this year, every member contributing a book which was put in the library for faculty use.

There are some changes in the faculty for next year. We shall miss Mildred Shumaker, Dorothy Toor, Virginia Macormic, Myrtle Carr, Lucy Cardwell and Annajean Havens. We wish them every success in their new work.

~ppreciation

ALTHOUGH Mr. Thomas has been with us for only a year and a half, the Seniors feel that had they known him a life time, he could not have done more for them. He has proven helpful,

patient, and kind and it is with the deepest feeling of gratitude that we extend to

him our sincere appreciation.

The class of ' 28 numbering thirty-nine started the year with a " bang" under the effi cient leadership of our president. The first problem was the best means of raising money for Washington trip. T he treasury was swelled by selling candy, Christm as card s, and subscriptions to Curtis Publications. The support of the townspeople at the Senior play helped to expand our account. As a result we were able to pay a good share of the expenses of each member going to Washington.

T he Seniors have had good times, through three parties, one a t Dorothy Brown's, a theatre party, and the crowning one, given by Miss Knight, at all of which you may rest assured we were not disappointed in our happy anticipations. The Senior Ball May 18, with Bob Hemming's Orchest ra proved a great success.

At the close of their last year in High School, the members of the class of '28 wish to extend their most earnest th anks to the members of the faculty and especially to Miss Knight and Mr. Thomas for what they have done to make the Senior's four years in High School pleasan t and profi table.

There are forty-five members in the Junior Class. Just the right num­ber you' ll have to admit. As juniors we have had many hapj)Y times. Among the social activities in which we have participated were a H allowe'en party at Marion Burnett's home and a stage party after our play.

Although we have been a jolly crowd we have also been :t busy one. We sold candy, icc cream and hots at different times during the year and feel we have made a success of every thing we have undertaken. The Junior Prom and Junior Play both ::tdded a substantial sum to our bank account. The prom brought into the limelight many a Junior dancer whom we had overlooked before, and the plav was a wonderful success. It demonstrated what line actors and actresses the Junior Class possesses and that other classes will have to "go some" to surpass ou r gemuses.

Besides these class affairs the Juniors have contributed much to school activities. " Bill" Brewer has been captain of the boys' basketball ream this year and will be captain next year. Roman Kuhn also played on first tea m. Several of the boys played on the baseball and football teams this year. The girls were well represented by Chris. Hoc ken berger and R ed Drury, who played regular on the girl's basketball team, Rufus Hall, who subed, and Bea Shoemaker who was assistant manager of the team. Many of the Junior girls were out for girl's baseball <md track. Beside being well represented in athletics one of our number, Marion Wilson, was vice-president of the High School Student's Association th is year. From this you can readily see that we are well prepared for our Senior year. Our class promises to be the most energetic and prosperous Senior Class of Webster Hi~h School.

MISS PARSHALL

Class Colors: Crem and Cold

On a bright sun-shiny morning in early September 1927, a group com­prising about ninety members, the class of '31, entered upon their High School career at Webster High School.

Our rime as a class was not given much to parries this year. The Hal­lowe'en party which was held at the home of one of our members and also the party given to the winning side in the magazine campaign werc enjoyed by a large majority of the Freshman class.

We are proud of the achieved success of our girls and boys' basketball teams. We also succeeded in placing a few of our number on the Reserve Team. We were not entirely off the baseball team either.

We are not lacking in school spirit. At the games the Freshman were always well represented and this gives evidence of it existing within room "22".

Our boys have proved to us, by the the presentation of the "Minstrel Show'' given for the benefit of the piano fund, that they are not afraid to ~peak or sing in public.

This is a brief epitome of the class of '31. A short period and our class as Freshmen will pass into history. We hope to accomplish what we have been working for throughout the school year, and when next September comes we will return with renewed vigor a11d strengthened determination to surpass even our former successes, with the one goal- graduation before us, the class o.f '31.

Football After school had begun in earnest last September, Mr. O'Connor, who

was to coach football, sent out the call for men. About forty young ath­letes responded.

Faced with the task of putting a team as good as that of 1927 on the field the men started earnest work.

Captain Hockenberger and assistant Coach Congdon helped coach O'Connor round his men into a team.

Although only five vetera'ns remained from last year's squad, a fast, determined, fighting and agressive squad was rounded for the first game with Pittsford, which Webster won 26-0.

Games followed, and were won until the meeting with Fairport to whom was lost the only game 12-0, which was the same score as th at of the pr~vious yea r. The team lined up as follows:

L. E. VROMAN R.T. FoRMAN

L. T. V ANDY R. £. SmmE~VJLLE L. G. } ONES Q. B. PINKLEY

c. KI NG F. B. WARNER R. G. H o c KENBERGER L. F. B. VAN ALSTYNE

R. F. B. GENTLE

Brewer, Fry, Benjamin, Dadswell and Partridge were subs who helped to win the games by their efforts when substituting.

Many men from this year's team will be back next fall, and, with the excellent help of the same Coach, Mr. O'Connor, will try to produce a team to eq ual that of 1928.

The scores for the season follow: Pittsford 0 Scottsville 6 LeRoy 0 . Fairport 12 Pittsford 0 Newark 6 Palm yra 6

Score for season: Webster 125 points; opponents 24.

Webster 26 Webster 42 Webster 0 Webster 0 Webster 32 Webster 7 Webster 18

Under Manager Kuhn next year's games are being obtained and they promise a very good season.

Men lost by graduation will be: Pinkley, Capt. Hockenberger1 King, Va11dy, and Van Alstyne.

13oys Basketball

After football had taken its course, basketball came into the limelight . Early in November, Coach Congdon asked a ll men interested in basket­

bt.~ll to report. About sixty turned out, and of course, these offered a large choice.

At the beginning of the season things started to happen. Captain Pinkley, star of the 1926-27 team, injured his knee and this kept him from participating in games all the season.

Notwithstanding tbis handicap the team progressed rapidly and won its first game at W illiamson. This gave the men the needed confidence in themselves.

As the season progressed the men continued to show form and ability to play the game. T he team fought h ard and was determined to show the townspeople that they had a successful quint, despite the constant misfor­tunes.

Coach Congdon worked h t~rd and showed the men the fine points of the game as well as t he mistakes they made in opening games. He worked successfully all the year both on the court and elsewhere to keep the men's minds on the games.

After Captain Pinkley's knee became parti ally healed he played once in a while to inspire the men.

The season, although it did not seem successful to some, may be called a success. Notwithstanding ,the fact that the team did not win all its games, it did accomplish one thing and that was the winning of the Sports­manship Cup, which was offered by the East Rochester Herald. Tlus cup remains in the possession of the basketball squad and the school fo r one year. If won two years in succession, it becomes the permanent possession of the team.

(iirl' s Basketball

The girls basketball season opened with the usual call for players. Volunteers came fast and numerous this year. Yes indeed . there were even enough rcpresent:nives from each class so as to provide inter-class rivalry, ~¥hich is not wholly essential, but makes the game that much more interest­Ing:.

The first team consisted of several new players. "Portchy", "Red" Drury, "1\ihybe" Vanlngen, " Joe" Averill and all the rest su rely did show their stuff; not mentioning the two old veterans "Tody" Morley and "Ter­rible Tess" Waterman.

About the games,-Well, why bring that up? The team as a whole was a success mentally as well as physically, but owing to the lack of experience they were not quite as successful in winning the trophy. But wait till next year: Eh! Juniors? However, just between you and me and Coach Billy, we had a good time visiting and entertaining the different t eams.

T o cap the climax the league enjoyed a huge "blow out" at the Green Lantern Inn , Fairport. Speeches from the Coaches of each team, food, singing. and dancing provided entertainment for all.

So much for another season. And here are best wishes from the Class ' 28 for a bright and successful season next yea r and the years to come.

c:Baseball Right after Easter vacation things in old Webster High began to buzz,

Baseball was again started. Coach Congdon sent out a call for a ll men to report for practice. Previous to this the pitchers and catchers were work­ing out in the gym., but the other men had had no practice.

With the fi rst game April 24, everything went along smooth ly and so many men showed so much form Coach Congdon had a hard time to pick a squad.

Of the men reporting seven were veterans. The infield was made up of veterans, Pinkley and K. King were veterans for the pitching burden, but Sch rader was the only veteran in the outfield.

However, the men soon began to work smoothly together.

The season's schedule follows with a summary of games played:

April 24 April 27 May I May 4 May 11 May 15 May 18 May 22 May 25 June I June 8 June 15

Although only five games have been played four have been won and a hard one lost . The men a re working hard every day and are striving to win all the remaining games, and give much proof of being able to do it.

The team lines up as follows:

1st Base-D. King (Captain) 2nd Base-Brewer 3rd Base-Warner S. S.- Somerville R. F.- Schrader C. F.- Pinkley L. F.- Gentle Catchers- Hockenberger and Hill Pitchers- Pinkley, Abrams, K, King and Leaty. Subs.- Hilfiker, Hartung and Weeks.

HIGH SCHOOL COURIER STAPP

Th e High School Courier Early last Sep tember that enterprising body-the cabinet- met and

appointed new staffs for the two town papers. The staff appointed to present the doings of the school in th e Webster Herald was as follows :

Editor-in-Chief: . E\'EL.Y~ M I:NTWE Senior Reporter: . RUTH DoYLE Junior Reporter: . EnMA BusC'n Sophomore Reporter: MARCIA B vcKMA:-1

Freshman Reporter: FRANK B ucHANAN Eighth Grade: MARGUERITE HAHT Seventh Grade: . . . . MARION BAKER Athletic Reporters : MAFn;r" VAN l NGEN, ALVIN HrLFIKEll Grade Reporter: . . ANN.~ FLTNT

Very first thing this staff did was to change the name of its publication from that of Station W. H. S. to th at of The High School Courier. ~ith the generous assistance and sy mpathy of the editor of the paper, Mr. Jack Collins, the staff was able to keep up its required quota of news throughout the year and to prove to any dubious ones the advisability of publ ishing school news in a weekly paper.

The staff sincerely hopes that its ideals have been upheld and that in the eyes of our public we have proven ourselves capable during one happy busy yea r of ou r school life. If we have succeeded in any small way we will have considered our duty done and will withdraw, some of us forever, from the eyes of a reading public.

SENIOR PLAY CAST

The Senior Play One of the best plays presented in the Webster High School Auditorium

during recent years was "Assisted by Sadie" given by the class of '28. It was a comedy of four acts fi lled to the brim with mystery and adven­

ture. The scenes were laid in a fashionable hotel, which gave great op­portunity for characterization. A necklace is lost by Harriet Carley and in the process of recovering the necklace several other n luables are lost by the guests of the hotel. In the end Sadie solves the mystery. Thus "All's well that ends well".

The class of '28 wishes at this t ime to extend to Miss Knight its grateful appreciation, for it was due to her earnest efforts that the play was such a success.

The Junior Play This year the Juniors decided to surprise the public by giving a brilliant

farce which had run an entire season in New York. It was by far the most hilarious comedy of the season and it was a roar of laughter from beginning to end with many surprising situations.

The Library Club The library club which was started last fall soon became known as the

Brownie Specials due to their interest and study of photography. How­ever, we did not devote ourselves to photography alone but by actual prac­tice learned to be of service in the library. Out first financial venture was in the nature of a book sale at the Community Carnival. We felt that our efforts were well repaid for although our profits were not large, we had enabled the citizens of Webster not only to buy_ good books but to obtain advice about the books to buy in the future. This first sale was followed by a second one, held in Harold Foley's office in December. The results of this sale were really gratifying.

Another project which we started this year was taking of snap shots and offering the finished pictures for sale. Next year we hope to be able to offer the students snapshots of the various athletic teams, clubs and other pictures of interest. Although we feel that we have been successful this yea r, we hope to do better things next year and to make the Brownie Spec­ials the foremost club of Webster High.

W ith the L ibrary tn 19 27-28

Of all the instiwtions of Webster High School none have made more rapid progress than the library, and 1927-28 has been a banner year. Last fall for the first time, Miss Genun2; began her courses in library study for J unior and Senior H igh School. 1 hese classes were held once a month in order that the students might learn to use the various parts of the library such as th e card catalogue and the Re;tder's Guide in the most efficient manner.

This spring the entire library was inventoried and many of the books were found to be in a sad plight, but due to Miss Genung's genius and the aid of many willing helpers, of whom we must not forget the Frosh, the books were repaired and the Board of Education was saved many dollars with which we hope classes of 1929 will be furnished with new books.

The Junior library has also had a •very successful year, and many interesting projects have been carried out. Each member of the fifth grade has made a stamp collection in which nearly every country in the world was represented. The sixth grade has looked up the biographies of many great men. The encycloped ia and reference books were used and the work proved interesting as well as useful.

Considering all these facts the library staff feels very proud of the things which have been accomplished durin!> the past year and it is looking for­ward to an even more successful one m 1929. They are confident of this because our school library has been incorporated with the Webster public library, a union for which we have worked so long. Through this trans­action many new books will be added to the library shelves, and the village people will be enabled to enjoy something that they have had no oppor­tunaty heretofore.

u'lgricultural Club When school opened last fall, there were twenty-three members en­

rolled in the Agricultura l courses. Following a precedent established some yea rs ago a club was formed and th e following officers elected:

Pre.ridcnt . . fl ia-Pre.side11t Secretary • T rNIJttrer .

WILLIAM BREWER

. WJt.F.RJ!O WEEKS WILBUR H ERMANCE

. OviD FRv

As early as August the members of the Agricu ltural classes were busily at work gathering fruit for an exhibit to be entered at the Rochester Ex­position. The fact that Webster took second prize is an assurance that the work was well done. One hundred and twenty-five dollars was added to the Ag. Club treasury as a result of the exhibit.

The fruit judging team won first place in their line at the Ne\>' York State Horticultural Society in January. They were awarded a silver cup \\ hich they proudly carried back to their Alma Mater.

The members of the various teams spent several days in Ithaca during Farmer's Week. There they entered in judging fruit, potaroes, poultry, milk and live stock. At the Young Farmer's Club banquet rhe winning teams were announced. Webster again took first place in judging fruit and was awarded a silver cup. Ovid Fry was the high man in the state in judging fruit and he was awarded a gold medal. The trip to [ thaca was made by auto and, judging from the report of the various members, a good time was enjoyed by all.

The members ma.king up the various teams are as follows:

.Fruit- Fry, Pinkney. Potato-King, Rothfuss. Milk- Weeks, Hilfiker. Poultry- Aman, Hermance. Live Si:ock- Fry1 Pinkn ey, \i\1alters.

The Agricultural Club is a member of the Young Farmer's Club of the state. This organization is planning to have a spea king contest to which Webster will send Pinkney and Hil fiker.

The club feels that much of its success is due to M t. Galbreath and the members wish to express their appreciation to him at this time.

~thletic Association

At the beginning of the school year. the Athletic Association was or­ganized under the same plan which was used last ye:tr. The following officers were elected:

Pruidtnt . fl ia-P re.ride111 Sc C'retar\' T rea.m,-er .

R AYMOND PrTT

MARlON w lLSON MARION Wtt.BRRT

Mrss K NrCIIT

Under the management of our capable president, several activities were planned and successfull y managed.

The fi rst of these, the Community Carnival, which was staged tm Nov­ember ll by teachers and students was a decided success. It consisted of vaudeville, dancing, a bazaar and other amusements.

The Chautauqua campaign was also under t he management of the as­sociation. Leaders were appointed from each home room and prizes were offered for the three highest scores. This campaign was a success as well as the wonderful Chautauqua program which resulted from it .

The association also appointed the editors-in-chief for the two local news papers. Evelyn Munroe was given char~e of the Webster Courier in the Webster Herald and Martha Versprille ed1ted the Webster School News in the Webster Free Press. Due to the fact .that M artha Versprille left our Senior ranks, Dorothy Brown was made editor.

This year a new plan relating to dues was conducted as an experiment. The charge for dues was added to the price of a season Basketball ticket, thus charging the students only $1 .50 for a season ticket and dues.

The Cabinet of the association appointed the members of the Reveille stafF. These appointments were ratified by the student body and are mentioned elsewhere in this book.

The last event whicl1 the association undertook was the Athle tic Din­ner. This banquet was held on June 1 and at this time th e boys who deserved letters and awards were presented with them. Mr. Chase, the Executive Secretary of the Sportsm anship Brotherhood, the guest of the evening, spoke to the diners. The loving cup which was given by the Mon­me County League for the best sportsmanship shown this year was for­mally presented to the Webster High Basketball Team.

Altogether, this has been a very eventful and interesting year for the Athletic Association. Much benefit has been derived from the weeklv !'neetings as well as from the many activities which were conducted under ItS management.

60

Home and School Club The Home and School Club has shown great activity this year, and its

efforts have been well directed. Early in the year it undertook the pur­chase of a piano for the school auditorium. T o this end the "Zig-Zag Follies" was produced under the direction of Mrs. Ehrha rdt. With the proceeds from this and the contributions from other interested o rganiza­tions of the town and school, the club has bought and nearly pa id for a Vose and Sons' baby grand piano.

Under the auspices of the association the Home Economics and Physi­cal Education departments of the school have instituted a nutrition class for the under-nourished pupils in the lower grades.

An active membership committee enrolled one hundred and thirty members. This same committee donated a volley ball to the attendance con res c.

Thi s contest, begun in April, awards a month's use of the ball to that grade in school which has the largest representation of parents ancl friends present at the monthly meeting of the association.

With this contest and the remaining debt on the piano the club closes this year and off~rs a nucleus on which to begin another year's activiry.

Class of 1918

Dear Miss A veri !I:

Webster, New York Apri l 27, 1928

T en years ha ve wrought many changes ro the class of 1918. It is with a keen appreciation that I send to you the partial biograph ies of the pals of a decade ago.

It is with sincere regret that I am compelled to report that one of our number, Sihon Baker, has passed to the Great Beyond.

Our president, Eldon Grenzeback is at the present, preaching and administering to the spiritual needs of the congregation of the: Portville. N. Y. Presbyterian church.

Harley H allauer, our vice-president is an advertismcnt specialist in Rochester, N. Y.

The other two officers have found their life work as helpmates, Vivian McL aren Tschorke in Charlotte and Marie Cooman Calkins in Oakfield.

Marriage, home and children has called four of the other girls of our class. Margaret McLean Rogers and A1ice Larker R ex both live in Roch­ester and both have two children. Wilhelmina Rex Swartout is living in Lodi and Augusta Mohr T rimble in Ontario.

Business called three members. Alma Kittleberger is keeping books for the Webster Basket Company and Luella H art:un~t is keeping the keys w the vault at Jayne and Mason's Bank. Dewey Wright is manager of the Palmer Dress Shoppe in Boston, Massachusetts.

Teaching called Viola Baker and Celia Wright. tht! former in Garrison. N. Y. and the latter in Irondequoit, N.Y.

Now some of the men have done a few things, Chas. Nichols our electric­al wizard built two radio stations, WOKT in R ochester and one in Utica. At present he is mechanical draftsman in Rome, N. Y. Barton Baker h<ts achieved considerable success as a lawyer in Rochester.

As for myself, I am attempting to educate some of yottng Rochester in the field of science. Yes, l am still single.

May you, the class of 1928, have the success with the Reveille that we the clas~ of 19 18, had with the initial volume.

Sincerely yours. Geo. S. Curtice

Class of 1919 The majority of the class of 1919 has settled down for irs life work

quire close to its Alma Mater, only four of the class being found in distant cities. Five of the girls are married and engaged in the business of making a home.

Grace Vcrdine is now Mrs. I rving T. Farnham of Rochester. Erma Martin, Mrs. H. R. Himinger of Naperville, 111.. one of the fold to settle

62

in a distant city. Rurh Campbell is no\\' Mrs. L. R. Yost of Rochester. Gladys Frost is M rs. Dean Adams of fairport. Agnes Contant is Mrs. E. A. Williams of 'West Webster.

The boys haven't done so well, only two of them having entered the realm of matrimony, and those two used to be called the most bashful hoys of the class. The brave ones are : Ray Verdine, who is one of the up­to:date farmers of Ontario, and Ronald H awley who is a salesma n for Brown Burrell of New York Cirv. Ron ald has also sett led some distance from his Alma Mater. ·

Now for the girls who arc making names for themselves in the business and professional world.

Alfreda Hill is instructor of French at Roch ester University. M ari(>n Sawyer is assistant office m:mager at E. M. Trimble Mfg. Com-

panv, Rochester. [~uth Schneeberg;er is teach ing at North Rose. Elma Struck is doing statistical work in New York City. Norma Tompkins is bookkeeper at the E. H. Ashley Insu rance Com­

pany, Rochester. Old Webster High may well be proud of the boys of the Class of L9 l9.

"Mac". Gordon and ' 'Scoop", the comedians of the class have taken life seri­ousll' and made a name for themselves.

Gordon Witmer is a member of the firm of Witmer Bms. Coal Co. of Webster.

Donald McMillan is a draftsman at the Stromberg Carlson T t:lcphone Co. Harlow Phillips is a mechanical draftsman, Dep't Public Works, Al­

banv. Osburnc and Oscar Baker are living at home in Lincoln . Oshurne is

sellinj! insurance and Oscar has a radio repair shop. Arthu r Shermer competes with R a)r as Ontario's most scientific farmer. Boh McCullough is ,~·irh the General Electric at Schenectady, another

engineer for the class. The Cbss of 1919 is up and coming, as Professor Spry called them on

tht: morning their banner was inverted by a rival class to read 6 161, at which time Mr. Spry congratulated the Class for having a banner at so early a stage in its history .

Class of 1920

When considering ·the history of W. H. S. one should neve r forget the famous class of J - 9- 2- 0. The following are the members of that class an d their present activities.

Those people ::tppearing in the business world: Flora Walz li ves in \Vebster and helps Uncle Sam at the loca l post offi ce. Agnes Bauman is engaged in the law offi ce of Chamherlain, Paige and

Chamberlain . Leo Bauman helps the National Bank of Rochester make money. J n the field of education: "Mibbs" Baker teaches in Pawlinr,, New York. May Marrin known hy some as' John" is teaching in Fairport. Esrher ''Done'' resides at home and is teaching at rhe local High School. Frank Thon1pson, ca lled " Buckie", is continu ing his education ar Cor-

nell.

63

We are happy ro say that " Pete" Kasper and "Blondy'' Hartung an~ regaining their health at their respective homes.

Those of our fold who have chosen their life companions are: ''Anner" Grimes Smith is happily situated in Fairport. Helen Cripps Northrup is the motber of a little boy and lives in Penfield. "Mift"y'' Hawley Bowman will be found on the Holt Road in Webster. Grace ''Burrow" Leisten is the mother of a little boy and girl and lives

in Rose land. ·'Caep" Ellis Collier lives on his farm in Lincoln. Linn Bowman is acring as a cadet engineer at the Gas and Electric

Company in R ochester. "Katy'' Klem Martin who is the newest member of this d ivision teaches

music in Mount Morris. In considering ou r class. quality not quantity, shou ld he taken into

consideration.

Class of 1921 We numbered nineteen in June of 1921. and still our full number do

rctatn. Our Presidei1t. Kenyon Greenley in Pittsburgh li ved when last themes­

sage came. Our Vice- President, H enry Foote is nCJt so far away. He works in

R ochester at the chemical laboratory of the Eastman Kod ak Co. Our Secretary, Ruth N. Hill, who was our salutatorian, is now acquir­

ing more .knowledge at Geneseo Normal School. The smallest bur not bv far the least was Evelvn Wall, who took our

money and paid our debts. '·'Peg~' found our class so attractive that she made sure of remaining a member by marrying Lloyd Skinner who to Malone did go.

Lois Hilfiker, a te:~cher in Gloversville who tired of her name changed it to Swarthout.

Out in the far West Yakima, Washington. Ralph Hallauer did journey. ln Buffa lo they needed a stenographe r and so Ethel Partridge applied. Cecelia M archner, who went into the Holy Ghost Convent, T echney,

Ill., is known now as Sister Ellen. At Cornell we have William Chapman and Frank Thompson, their de­

grees we do see this June, "Billy" in B of Science in Agriculture and "Bucky" in B of Chemistry.

In Rochester not so far away we have Hilda, Viola and Mildred. For the Pratt and Whimey Co. in the Gas and Electric building, Hild a Arndt does the work. \Vhile with the Hai11es Manufacturing Co., Viola Hart is employed. When your life you do insure to Mildred Kettwig you apply with the New York Life l nsurance Co.

Teaching school near Pittsford Iva Shortt Symonds we see. While Alonzo Hicks is helping his father on the farm in Lincoln. Our Valdictorian, Frances McMath. to Alfred Kittelherger did wed,

and now is kept busy by taking care of Jean and Baby brother on Dunning Ave., in Webster.

Needing some one honest in Jayne & Mason Bank, Louise Sutter they did employ .

And Irene Coapman, who married R.]. Johnson, in Webster does live. This concludes our news but we would be glad to hear anything more of

interest which is not here recorded.

Class of 1926 Dear Miss Averill:

I have racked my brain for nearly a week in · an attempt to think of some way to write the history of my classmates of '26, during the last two years, and this is the result. Some of them are married. some have gotten half the distance, if that means anything; others are industriously seeking knowledge to enable them to reach their goal. while some are work­ing in offices, and several are at home. Clarence Hammond is working at The Beechliut Packing Coh1pany, and spending part of his e venings at the R. B. I. Trum an ""ill be a druggist if he stays at Sibley's long enough. " Denny" is at Cortland Normal. ''Dick'' Hoffman, · •Dot" Woodcock, Ruth Struck, and Erwin Engert have the U. of R. as their Altna Mater. while "Ron." Hart has bis time very much taken up at Geneseo (?). Ethel will soon be Miss Cripps as a result of her studies there. " Pat," "Ron's" old pal, is at Rochester Normal. Charlotte is at Keuka College. Catherine Gnage is a stenogra pher at the Rochester Chemical Company. Catherine Welch is occupied at Nazareth Academy. Blanche Read, Fay. Gladys, ::ind Florence are at home, while Bob Seymour is taking a P. G. Course at Fair­port High. Ralph is at home, and Mildred Schneeberger is taking a Nurse's Training; Course at the Genesee H ospital at Rochester. Mary Fitzpatrick is with Miss Fillmore in Buffalo. Last, but not the least, I come to those who have tasted matrimony, or are soon to do so. May Gnage is now Mrs. Seigel, of Buffalo. Eleanor Wager is Mrs. Amsler. Both have a child to occupy their spare moments. Lucile, who is working at presenr in a shoe faCTOry, will no doubt be Mrs. Taft in the near future, and I should judge that ·•Milly" will soon belong to the same group.

Now, in closing, I desire to wish to the Reveille Staff the best of luck with their book and to the Senio rs the best of success in their life work.

Morris Cape '26, U. of R. '30.

Class of 1927 A year is comparatively short but it can present qui te changed affairs.

Even though the class of '27 are at present scattered and occupied very differently thev still feel themselves to be a part of old Webster High and wish the very best for it in the years to come. This class has high hopes for the future. Of course as yet no lawyers, doctors, presidents, etc. ap­pear from the ranks of '27, but they have only just taken the first step and their hearts and eyes are focused on the goal ahead. "Fa era non. 11erba" is their motto and they are holding it high.

The class at present are Located as follows; Harold Am an- at home. Franc Andrews-at home. David Bishop-University of Rochester. jerome Bisho~-University of Rochester. Juli a Bueg·-'1 eacher's Training School in Sodus. Helen Bueli- At home. Velma Campbell- Cortland Normal. Ethel D arling- School of Commerce. Marshall Delavan-Post Graduate at Webster High School.

What Others Are Saying

The following resolution consisting of three short pungent paragraphs with a world of meaning was adopted by the Idaho State Grange at Boise on January 19th.

''Whereas, the Washington State Grange and the Id aho State Grange and theN ational Grange have gone on record urging Congress to refuse appropriations for aJ1Y more great irrigation projects; and

"Whereas, the open ing of the Columbi a River Basin and the Boulder Dam project will open up millions of acres of new agricultural land and thus destroy an already over-crowded market.

" Be Tt Resolved. that we hereby demand that our representatives in Congress, both House and Senate, set their faces like flint against giving any more government aid to these large projects."

WILLIAM WAHLE Webster, . Y.

Rochester Business Institute Keeps on Growing-

WHY? 1. Because the R . B. I. has never failed to make good

any of its promises.

2. Because when business conditions are good the R. B. I. has three positions for every qualified graduate.

3. Because the R. B. I. with its 23 instructors is able to give personal attention whenever it is needed.

4. Because R. B. I. tuition is less when quality and thoroughness are considered.

5. Because the time required to finish a course is shorter considering the many subjects given in each course.

6. Because the R. B. I. does not ask you to pay money in advance for a course which you may not like or may not be fitted for.

7. Because the R . B. I. has winning basketball a nd baseball teams which are carefully restricted to attending students.

8. Because the R . B. I . Cafeteria, owned, managed a nd operated by the school in the school building and for students only, saves each student from $3.00 to $4.00 per month on his food bills.

9. Because the R . B. I. is big enough and strong enough to offer financial assistance to deserving students.

10. Because the R. B. I. is registered by the Board of Regents of the University of the State of New York.

For infonnation about cmases, tuition and general information, write, call or telephone the Registrar.

JEST PRETENDIN'

I am only ten year~ old, Jest a litde feller, But 1 know the world's a sham, Black is blue or yeller. Father said he owns this house, Puts on airs unendin', But it's mortgaged to the roof­Only jest pretenclin'.

Sister's go t a classy beau, Takes her out ' mobilin', But she treats him somethin' fierce Jest ro hide her feelin'. Vows she wouldn't like to do Any man's old mendin'. But she's crazy to ge t spliced­Only jest pretendin' .

Mother has a set of furs-An' ever since she wore 'em Tells the folks the price she paid Something awful1 I'll tell 'ern Pshaw! the new mstalmcnt store Every week is sendin', For the balance on 'em yet­Only jest pretendin'.

Brother Jim has got a job Somewhere in the city, Looks upon the grocer's clerk An' the rest with pity. Brags of million-dollar deals That "his" firm has pendin'; Jim runs errands for the boss­Only jest preumdin '.

93

Bur when 1 come home a night Feet all wet and muddy, Been a-playin' hookey with Bert an' Bill and Buddy: Mother says she'll whip me good, And tries to look unbendin', Never touches me at all! Only jest pretendin'.
