"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 HASENOHR are keeping bachelor's quarters. "Teddy" acts in the 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 is the auctioneer who stands near the door, proclaiming in a sonorous 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 is superintendent; MR. LANDE, the Latin teacher; MR. WERNERSBACH, the trigonometry teacher; MR. FRANK WILSON, the mathematics teacher;  MR. JOSEPH SAXE, the English teacher and MR. IRWIN SALM has charge of the athletics. A little missionary Sunday School has also been started here by MISS MARY LEWIS and MISS FRIEDA VON DER HALBEN. They are assisted by MISS BLANCE FELL, who composes the hymns and MISS ESTELLE RACKE who leads the singing.

MR. PERCY HOLDT, the aviator, has discovered a new planet, the fierce natives of which had to be 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 conquered anda colony was established. The following 1914 graduates of 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.
