"FATHER TIME'S VISITING DAY"
(transcribed by Linda Boorom)
Old Father Time donned his invisible
habiliments, seated
himself in his aeroplace, and with a whir of motors and revolving fans,
began his annual round of visits to the East Night '14 graduates.
It was now the year of Our Lord
nineteen hundred and twenty-five
and the following are the observtions chronicled in his "Year Book"
under that date:
PROFESSOR
LEO BAEHR of the Cincinnati University has completed a new and
better transaltion of the Aeneid, which is to be used exclusive;y in
all the public schools.
MR. CHARLES BOEGLI is now the
manager of the Munro Hotel. This hosetlry has become world-famous for
its Turkish baths and many come here for their annuals.
MLLE. FANNY COHEN is at present
in Paris, startling even the Parisians with her wonderful creations in
style. She is setting the pace and all up-to-date women look to her for
their fashion hints.
MISS LORETTA ERDHAUS, the
celebrated pianist, has played her way into the heart of the Duke of
Lancaster. After the wedding tour, she will be mistress of the duke's
most beautiful castle on the Thames River, near London. All her former
acquaintances are most cordially invited to visit her.
MR. HERMAN GRAEBE is now living
in Palestine, where he prides himself on having the finest seedless
olive groves in the world.
MR. ALBERT SCHWARZ has been
secured as general manager by Miss Cora Dow of Dow's drug stores. Thiss
accession has compelled all other druggists in the city to go out of
business.
SENATOR JEROME S. WILLIAMS and REPRESENTATIVE CARL KLINE are among
the most influential Ohio statesmen at Washington.
MR. ELMER GRISCHY has succeeded
Mike Mullen as councilman of the Eighth Ward. The Coney Island picnics
are still held for the benefit of the poor children, only on a much
larger scale. May his name ever be remembered among thos of the saints.
MR. LOUIS REUSCH, JR., has
published a book entitled, "Frivolous Woman and Her Ways," and has also
revised the distionary, adding many new words, some of which are almost
a foot in length. He and THEODORE

capacity of houskeeper and has recently been elected president of the
"Woman's Club." They publish the useful little monthly magazine called
" Hints to Housewives."
MR. FRED GERTZMAN has gone back
to his native country to get the girl left behind him and bring her to
America.
MISS GLADYS A. SADLER has been
elected the first woman president of the United States after many years
of campaigning. MISS MARIE KOLLMAN
is her Secretary of State, and under Miss Sadler's able adminsitration,
the country is exceedingly prosperous.
MR. GEORGE KENDRICK is now the
manager of the Cincinnati "Reds" and for the second time they have wond
the pennant owing to his capable management. MR. OLIVER SMITH, familiarly known
on the field as "Schmittie," is his most reliable man, being the most
famous catcher in the big leagues.
Rumors were afloat that ALBERT
BECHTOLD of the home team was to be traded for CHARLIE AULL, the Cub's most
reliable man, but the Cub manager denies that there is any truth in
such stories.
MR. RAYMOND GERDING, president
of the Commercial Traveler's Club, has been for the last six months in
the south Sea Islands, selling ice skates to the natives. His sales
were very poor until MR. HENRY TOEPFER,
the ice magnate, came to his assistance by establishing an ice plant,
in order to furnish the ice upon which the natives could skate.
The First National bank, of which MR.
CLARENCE KEIDEL is president, was robbed by an Indian a few
weeks ago. MR. HENRY HEITBRINK,
the second "Sherlock Holmes," has been given the case and it is certain
that the Indian will soon be captured when this famous detective gets
on the scent (cent).
ENGINEER DANIEL HANDLEY runs
the little toy engine which encircles the lake at Chester Park. On the
last Post Day, it bumped into MR.
WALTER HUETHER, the life-saver at the bathing beach, who was
sitting on its trancks and he almost got hurt. The engine and coaches
were derailed and plunged into the lake, giving all the passengers, who
were the MISSES MAYME HUEBER, EMMA
JANTSCH, CATHERINE McDOUNOUGH, HELEN OSSEGE, EDNA SAEMAN and JOSEPH HUBER a good ducking. After
the collision, the engineer picked the engine up out of the water, set
in on the tracks and continued the journey the same as usual.
MR. LEO DRIEHAUS has bought out
S. H. Knox's five and ten-cent store. The following graduates are
employees of the store: MR.
RALPH HOOKE is the handsome floorwalker. MISS HELEN ROESENER is a the candy
counter selling kisses. Candy sales have gretly increased, owing to the
additional sweetness added to the candy when it is sold by such a sweet
young lady. MISS MARGARET KAUTZ
is at the ribbon counter where she sells blue ribbons to many of our
champion runners, including MESSRS.
FRANK ZUCH, HENRY WOLSDORF and ARTHUR
REISNER. MISS DENA MARCUS plays the piano at this store. MR. CHARLES YAEGERS is the songbird
who accompanies her in the selections and his voice fills the air with
melodious harmony. MR. CLIFFORD ELLIG

voice the wonderful bargains in carborundum diamond studs and earrings.
MISS VIOLET EBERLE stands near
the stairway and sprinkles the customers with pink, green or yellow
vamilla, otherwise called perfume or calogne. MISS NORENE SPECKMAN is at the hair
goods counter selling horsehair switches, puffs, rats and other
animals. On the outside of this store usually can be found a man
selling dogs of fine breed. He is none other than MR. JOHN SANTEN, who owns a dog farm
in the wilds of Cumminsville. As a by-product he raises fleas.
For many years, MISS RUTH HOLZWORTH
had a campanion to a rich old lady who died some time ago and left MISS HOLZWORTH her entire fortune.
Since then she and her sister EDNA
have traveled to the four corners of the earth. Philanthropically
inclined, they established a branch of the East Night High School in
the heart of Africa and some of their old classmates are on the faculty
of this school. MR. J. BERT WILSON

ESTELLE RACKE who leads the singing.
MR. PERCY HOLDT, the aviator,

subdued by war. The leader of the army sent against these was GENERAL JOSEPH A. SCHERER and some
of the officers were COLONELS EDWIN
C. GEHLKER and RALPH
MACMILLAN, LIEUTENANT JOHN MALL and CAPTAINS DAMON DANIELS and FRED LINCIMAN, MISS EDNA BERBERICH was the Red
Cross nurse who tended the wounded and dying and her name will go down
in history as a second Miss Nightingale. The natives were finally

East Night High School were among the first settlers: LEO SPINNEY, MALCOLM STUCKENBURG, EDWIN
KNECHT, FREDDIE ROTH, EDWARD TREIMAN, LOUIS SCHLUETER, FRANCIS SCHULTE
and CHARLES LAMPE.
Schiff-Beimeshe & Shields' Airship Company are working day and
night to supply the damnds of the people who wish to go there.
MESSRS. CLIFFORD MUELLER and WM. JONES have erected a new nickel
show, the finest in the city. On the opening night, MISS ALMA ODGERS and MR. JOHN SULLIVAN, the king and
queen of the "movies" apeared on the film in a five-reel preformance. A
special feature of that evening was the work of the most graceful of
dancing masters, MESSRS. WOLF
and FRIEDLEIN, who gave the
audience free instructions in all the latest dances.
J. L. S.
(transcribed by Linda Boorom)
Like most folks who have followed in the footsteps of their
ancestors,
we ere no exception to the rule and, accordingly, in april, 1913,
organized the J. L. S.
While we will not give a history of the J. L. S., due to its still
being in its infancy, we would like to take advantage of this
opportunity to convice several curious individuals that we are far from
being the "Jolly lunatics" that they have termed us.
Reguslar meeting are held on alternate Mondays at East Night High
School, at which a literary reading is given by one of its fifteen
memebers, on some eminent preson or interesting topic, which is
recorded for future reference. Instead of the usual custom of roll
call, each member responds to her name by giving a quotation.
The Society adheres to the old adage that "All work and no play makes
Jack a dull boy" and every third meeting is held at the home of one of
the members and after the usual literary proceedings, a jolly good time
closes the evening. When the weather is permissible, social events are
held in the open.
The membership of the society is limited to fiteen, but in the event
of
a member's resignation, any pupil of East Night High School is eligible
for membership.
The majority of the J. L. S. will bid farewell to East Night at the
close of this session, but will ever endeavor to continue the spirit of
intellectual improvement instilled in all during their pilgrimage at
East Night High School, as well as to continue the friendships formed
prior to leaving our Alma Mater.
