ALLEN TOWNSHIP CENTRALIZED SCHOOL-1924
History of the School
HE completion of the new building in the year of 1917, marks the beginning
of the Allen Township Centralized School. Previous to this, the schools
were not centralized. The pupils attended small one-room buildings in the
district or a brick building of four rooms in Van Buren. Even before this, school
had been held in the latter place in a two room, frame building, now known as, the
"Town Hallf'
The construction of the present building was supervised by Mr. J. C. York,
who then became its first Superintendent.
The first winter was one of extreme cold and later threatened with an epidemic
of smallpox. School was suspended for a few days, and the building and equipment
carefully fumigated. When school opened no child nor teacher could be admitted,
unless he could present his certificate of vaccination to the mayor who stood at the
north entrance.
The next three years were under the Supervision of Mr. C. D. Hindall. With
his aid and influence an interest was developed in Athletics, Manual Training, Inter-
class Contest, Domestic Science for the girls and Smith-Hughes work in Agriculture
for the boys.
The present Superintendent, Mr. J. C. Copeland, succeeded in bringing to our
school the Smith-Hughes work for girls, Vocal Music for all grades, under the
direction of Mrs. M. I. Chicote, and Instrumental Music and the Orchestra under
the direction of Prof. Carl Twining.
Hot lunches have been served every day to all children for the past three years
at a low cost. The lunches have been prepared by Miss Hanna as assistant. During
the entire history of the new building Mr. Cramer has been the faithful Janitor.
The High School, has grown from 54 pupils and four teachers at the beginning
of l9l7 to 112 pupils and six teachers at the present time. The present enrollment
of the Grades is 327 making a total of 439. Seven trucks, all but one of them mak-
ing two trips morning and evening, are used to transport the pupils to and from
school. The High School is out-growing its rooms and is looking forward to an
addition and an enlargement of the Auditorium with a built-in stage. 1

LEN TOWNSHIP CENTRALIZED SCHOOL-
192.4
History of the Class of Nineteen Hundred
and Twenty-four
T was in September, 1920, that our class composed of twenty-two members first
entered High School. XVe were called "green" by the upper classmen at that
time but probably there was sufficient reason. The majority of us were small,
the girls wore short dresses and.the boys, knee trousersg but we WGFS Very
ambitious and eager to learn.
After attending High School for a week, we were given a reception at one of the
country homes a short distance from town. XVe were terribly frightened over the inia-
tion, but afterward, an enjoyable evening was spent,
Most of us were very timid and many times we failed to report at the Assembly
Hall for study along with the upper classmen. It always seemed more convenient
to remain in the Freshman room. On occasions of this kind the teachers found it
necessary to demand our attendance and finally our timidity was somewhat over-
COITIE.
One of the greatest events of the year was the Inter-Class Contest in which we
took part with much. enthusiasm. Although we failed to win we were proud to
have the honor of displaying more "pep" in yells and songs than any of the other
classes.
Before the close of the term we lost a few members who found it necessary to
move with their parents into other communities. but we still had the largest Fresh-
man class in the history of the school.
After vacation, we entered the Sophomore class with great eagerness. yVe no
longer cared for the little Freshman room but were willing to take our places in
the Assembly Hall.
Our motto, "VVork and VVin" proved its worth that year inasmuch as we were
victorious in the Inter-Class Contest. For this reason, our class orator. James Fisher,
and our quartet composed of Juanita Edwards, Iva Schwab, Bessie Stallbohm and
Louise IQeRodes, were chosen to take part in the County Oratorical Contest held at
McComb- This we also won with great honors for the school.
At the beginning of Olll' Junior year we realized that more responsibilities were
ours to assume. Also our studies were more difficult compared with those of pre-
vious years,
On December 15th we rendered the play entitled, "A Strenuous Life," which was
successful in all respects. In fact it was appreciated so much that we were asked
to repeat itg but after due consideration, we decided in the negative.
On May 10th we entertained the Senior class of 1923 at a delightful banuet
in the school dining room. The 'LLittle Symphony Orchestra" from Findlay fur-
nished music throughout the evening.
At the beginning of our Senior year, we each possessed an air of dignity. VVe
were ready to begin the last part of the journey that would place us "Out of School
Life and into Lifes' School," VVe had a greater feeling of personal responsibilityand
a. desire to make the most of every fleeting moment. VVe learned that the talent of
success is to do well everything that we attempt without a thought of fame.
The class was represented in the boys' basketball team by Harold Hartman,
James Fisher and Lester Ensign: in the girls' team by Burnette Burrell and Louise
DeRodes. Each took an active part and displayed considerable ability in the games
as well as loyalty to the teams.
Again we were successful in winning the annual inter-Class Contest of April 3rd.
Not only was our average grade higher than that ot the other classes, but each of
our contestants won first place. Consequently our school was represented in the
County Oratorical Contest held at the Findlay College Chapel on April 11th and 18th
by the following: Bessie Stallbohm, Juanita Edwards, James Fisher. Iva Schwab,
and Louise DeRodes.
On May 16th we will present the play entitled "Pol1yanna" with the intentions
of giving to the public an enjoyable evenings entertainment. ive are also contem-
plating taking a trip to Niagara Falls shortly after the close of the term.
After the Commencement exercises of May 22nd, we will step into the arena
of active citizenship and try the realities of the practical world for which we have
been preparing. VVe fully realize that,
"Labor is life 'tis the still water faileth,
Idleness ever despaireth, bewailethf'
Our members have decreased until the final number of those who are to receive
the honors of graduation is seventeen. But each of us have a strong determination
in our minds to "VVork and Win." LOUISE DE RODES

Senior Class Prophecy
UST at the close of day as the sun was slowly sinking beneath the western horizon
I felt weary because of graduation week. Vlfishing I might think and dream,
I sank down in it big' chair. Almost instantly it seemed as though I Was
carried away by swift wings and placed down by a body of water whose extent
I could not guess but where waters washed strange lands. I walked down the shores
and entered a forest so dark I could only see the outline of mighty trees and in
the distance could hear the breakers dashing upon the rock bound shore. Feeling
that I was now in the land of perfect rest, I sat down upon the soft moss to con-
template on my surroundings.
yVhile thus in perfect repose I heard a rustling sound. Soon there appeared be-
fore my eyes a phantom form saying, "Ile not afraid, I am the Spirit of Prophecy,
the Angel of things to come." VVith her mystic touch she rolled back the curtain
of the dim Beyond and permitted me to gaze down the vista of things yet to be,
that I might behold all things that are, transformed into all the things that they
should yet become. Then pointing down the long avenues in the strange land she
said, "Now your eyes are open and the future is made clear to you. Prophesy to the
members of the High School Class of 1924 what things shall come to pass in their
lives as the years roll on and the sands of life run out.'i
As I looked into the land of the future, I could discern moving among the dim
shadows of the people, the familiar faces of those fair and radiant beings who
were my classmates, now charged and transformed into citizens of the great outside
world.
In the distance I behefd a great building. Rising from my mossy seat I sped
thither to see what it might contain. I soon found that the -Spirit of Prophecy
had eliminated both time and space so that what seemed moments might be years
and what seemed rods might be thousands -of miles.
As I entered the building, I found myself in a strange land and among strange
people. A brightly dressed guard, bowed low as I entered and I asked him to show
me the master of the house, He took me through long marble hallways where
walls were richly carved, and hung with the most beautiful pictures. We entered
a splendid room which was furnished with all the things which could be pleasing
to the eye and bring comfort to the body.
We approached a shining desk at the far ei1'd of the room when from behind
us arose a young lady who was arrayed in all the splendor of the Queen of Sheba.
As I approached her I fairly screamed, l"Louise DeRodes-" Yes, there she was,
having realized her highest ambition to become the head ot a great school in a
foreign country- I could stay but a few minutes to listen to her story of struggle
and splendid success, for there were many more to see.
My prophetic eye suddenly caught lsight of a great crowd that was rapidly
filling a building ii, a large city. NVfth much difficulty I pushed my way through
U19 Yhfllng- Then I learned a man was on trial for his life. As I approached the
court room I heard the voice of a prominent lawyer pleading the cause of a prisoner
at the bar. There were many tear-stained faces before that passionate pjleat for
life 21115 liberty was ended and the jury filed -out to consider the vlerdict. Almost
'mmediately it returned and the foreman said "Not guilty." 'Phere was :L .wild
scream as the mother of the liberated boy rushed over to the brillialft lawyer to
thank him for his splendid service, Vvhen he stood a shout went up from the crowd
and as he turned to bow his acknowledgment, I recognized him as James Fisher,
our Orator of High School days.
Here the scene changed and I entered a great building where a splendid orchestra
was entertaining a large audience. "VVhat place is this," I asked the usher who
showed me to a seat. "This is the Edwards Institute of Music. That is the manager
leading the orchestra. She employs dozens of teachers and has many hundreds of
students. Sihe is a musical business wonder." As the music ceased I grabbed her
by the hard, and sure enough, it was .luanitn Edwards. She led me to the group
of players and there I saw Grace Mitchell, Iva Schwab and Harold Hartman. She
told me that these were three of her best teachers and that she was very proud of them.
When I had recovered from my astonishment I said, "Do you krow what has
become of Hesse Stallhohm?" 'iOh, yes," she replied, "She is the head of the
English department of the State University, which is located not far from here. I
will take you over there and see if she will remember you,"
I closed my eyes for just a second to help collect my thoughts. When I opened
them l was in a place I had never been before and my friends with whom I had
just spoken vanished from my sight. I looked around and saw that I was in 2.
large and wonderful beauty parlor. I wondered Why I had been brought here so I

went over to one of the girls and asked who the manager was. Much to my surprise-
she replied, "Miss Nelly Brandeberryf' She showed me to her room and there I
found my classmate as young and beautiful as when we were in school together.
But the crowded city vanished. I stood lookirig M H SUHHSQ D19-tf01'm and
wondered what it was. Suddenly there was a whirling sound and an aerolilime
gently settled on that platform. A dozen pair of hands commenced taking off the
mail bags, and I realized that this was the trans-continental air mail service. In
a couple of minutes the exchange was made and the big wheels commenced to turn.
Then I recognized a familiar face in the pilot house and shouted, "Loy-Loy Powell,"
at the top of my voice, but the noise was so great he did not hear ,me. He was
soon but a tiny speck far up in the sky as he sped away to the next station, three
hundred miles to the west.
Next I stood before a splendid home Sul'l'0l,1l'ld9d by a large orchard and fertile
fields as far as the eye could see, I rang the bell and anxiously wilifed U' filld 0'-it
who the owner of such a home might be. As I stood there wondering, the door
opened, and I beheld a tall, graceful man whom, inspite of his long beard, I recog-
nized as Lester Ensign.
When we were comfortably seated in the parlor, I asked him how he had
?lCCl1l'l'1Uli1l9d such wealth. He said, he had developed a seedless blackberry which
had brought him his fortune- After congratulating him on his success, I com-
menced to inquire about our ,scattered class- "Have vou heard of Burnette Burrell?"
"Yes," he replied, "You remember she went to Cleveland on leavirg High School.
She was very successful in Nurse's training and has been recently promoted to
matron in the new hospital, the largest in the world."
" 'Buss' 1Donald Hartb was always a smart chap. What do you know of him?"
"VVhy, he became 21 civil engineer, and because of his wonderful work, his rame is

"Clifton Mygrart has a strange story. He was disappointed in love, left his

but at last settled down in a quiet and beautiful home. Later, he recordled the
story of his wanderings in books, which are fast becoming famous the world over."
1 thmlght I had foufld 2111 my classmates and was proud to find them in such
high positions in life but was astonished to fiitd that none of them were married.
when I remembered I had forgotten Lenore Trout. I asked Lester about her and
he informed me that she had married a very prosperous man and was now living
in one of the most beautiful homes in the city of New York.
I was about to set forth on my journey to go to her home when the Spirit
of Prophecy suddenly rolled down her mystic curtain and the future was forever
closed to my eyes. Awakening I realized that it had all been a dream but my next
thought breathed a hope that each of us would really fill our places in life, worthy
of the preparation and days spent in the Van Buren High School.

ALLEN TOWNSHIP CENTRALIZED SCHOOL-1924
History of the Class of '25
E, as Freshmen, entered the Allen Township High School in the year 1921.
It was with a desire that our four years would be a success that we chose
as our motto, 'lOnward to Success." For our class colors we chose
blue and white.
VVe were duly initiated about a week after school began, when a splendid
reception -was held in the High School Auditorium by the upper classmen.
ln the fall of 1922, our class of thirty were privileged to occupy the hard
earned but honorable rows of Sophomore seats in the assembly room. We took long
strides in our second year to accomplish our purpose and excell the record made
the previous year. ln the inter class contest we succeeded in gaining first place
and had our name engraved on the silver cup. Our instrumental music and short
story won first and represented our school in the county contest.
The trials of the two years have been only stepping stones to the goal we wished
to ieach and the title of junior has been won. Culver Gorsuch, who as president,
successfully guided us through our Sophomore year, was re-elected for another year.
Great dramatic ability was shown in the successful presentation on January 4th
of our Junior class play, HAnd Home Came Ted."
VVe did not gain such high honors in the inter-class contest this year but we
feel that our record is one of which to be proud.
VVe have been well represented in football, basketball and track during our
entire three yearsg several have received letters. VVe also feel elated since our
Junior boys won the championship in the inter-class basketball tournament this year.
These are only a few of the things accomplished in our three years of school life.
A We regret very much that several of our classmates have withdrawn, but with the
twenty-seven remaining our enthusiasm and pep have not diminished.
We look forward to the time when we may be called Seniors and we have
great hopes for our last year in high school.

A LEN TOWNSHIP CENTRALIZED SCHOOL-1924
History of the Sophomore Class
T is indeed a great pleasure to the historian of the class of 1926 to compile
the history of such a brilliant CU class.
One September day, in fact a very memorable day to the class of '26, the upper
classmen of Allen Township High School, looked with good natured tolerance down
upon a class of extraordinary verdancy.
Nevertheless, teachers and upperclassmen alike soon began to recognize, yes,
and to even appreciate us, for they realized that we were an asset to their beloved
A. T. H. S.
ln athletics our class shone, for our boys contributed considerable assistance to
the football team by practicing to the utmost of their ability. Likewise in basket
ball both our boys and girls gave their best to the school team, and three of the
girls were rewarded by first team letters.
The High School chorus was greatly augmented by our presence, and when
the orchestra was organized, again our class came to the fore by furnishing a goodly
percent of its players.
Our next brilliant success was at the lnterclass Contest, where our upperclass-
men were gathered in gala array to assist in and witness our defeat. And they
were not disappointed. We came out in the rear. However our reading won first
with a large margin, and placed high in the county Oratorical Contest.
In track, again we lived up to our standards by winning the Interclass Field
Meet, and many of the members of our class assisted in helping the school to Win
the County Track Meet.
After a well spent vacation we gathered again in our classic halls and once
more maintained our high standards of excellency. ln fact, this year among our
numberous wonders we have proved to our teachers that we can nearly bisect an
angle and that we can successfully ride a steed through the Gallic War.
Once more our boys worked hard on the gridiron and several from our class
participated in the games, hence the high reputation which A. T. H. S. football
team created for itself last football season.
Then the ever welcome basketball season 'round again and the captain of the
girl's team was elected from our class. Morever, five out of ten on the team
came from the sophomore class. And also the boys, by carrying on the work
which they began last year, helped to make of our team what it was.
At the lnterclass Contest our class placed second, with three out of five num-
bers winning second. '
To say the least, we have not done badlyg and while our modesty forbids that
we should raise ourselves as a standard, we would suggest that the class that done
as well may be justly proud.

Freshmen Class History
HE Freshmen Class has been called upon in its infancy for a contribution to
the first annual of the Allen Township Centralized School. Although we
have enjoyed but one year with the upper classmen, we feel that our short
history is worthy of notice.
The class entered upon its High School career with seventeen boys and sixteen
girls. Each one was welcomed and duly initiated into high school at the annual
Freshmen Reception, held September nineteenth, in the school auditorium.
During the year the Freshmen have taken part in various school activities.
Some of the boys tried to be football playersg none of them starred, however.
Among those who played basketball are Trevalyn Abbott, Ruthanna Brinkman
and Clair Flanagan.
The annual lnter Class Contest was an event looked forward to by all and
especially by contestants. Although we did not win the cup, some splendid numbers
were given by the Freshmen and the oration delivered by Gershom Poole won
second place.
lfve hope that in years to come a large number of our class will be stars in
football, basketball, baseball and track. We also hope for a good record in class-
work because, after all, that is what counts.

If the studies that are being carried by the Seniors of dear old A. T. H. S.
are successfully completed there will be seventeen that will graduate this year
on May 23. The Class of '24 is the largest in the history of the school.
..40.101.
People: Do you know that this annual is the first published in the school's
history? Do you realize the vast sum of money it has taken to publish this book
and to make it a really worth while proposition? Do you realize that the time and
effort spent by us to make this Annual a success was enormous? VVell then, people,
do not criticise this publication of the Annual, for we did the best we possibly

Football
ATS oif-Some good man has mentioned that sturdy Allen townshil7 f00t'
ball squadg the bunch that piled up a score of 168 to their opponents 393
the bunch that allowed only two teams to cross their goal line in one SPHSUHJ
and the bunch that tied Lima Central 3 to 3. Yes, these are some few FGHSDHS
why A, T. H. S. has been put on the map as having a clear., winning football team.
Back in the fall of '21 the boys found in their science teacher an able 00aCh.
Mr. VVS-aver came from Lima. his home town, and brought with him the abillfb'
to put A. T, H. S. on the map. Our coach is a graduate of Ohio Northern University.
and having played high school and college football, he took up coaching as a side
line with h.s science work- Coach Vveayer has trained winning teams for 3 number
of years and his good experience has been utilized ip V211 BUFGD' H9 Started in
'21 with three letter men and has produced some real material.
In the opening of the season before the game with Lima Central it was easily
observed that a great season was ahead. Enthusiasm was at its highest, Coach
VVeaver was to reap the reward of his hard coarh..ng, and Captain Hart was using
his influence with regard to training rules and the old time spirit. At the moment
Lima faced our boys they realized the situation and it was only after much substi-
tution and desperate effort that they were able to hold our boys to a tie.
In going over the lineup we come ii.rst to those brilliant ends, the Hartman
brothers. Harold and Kenneth have started many a rally by pulling in a nice pass
or by a hard tackle. Harold graduates this year and our coach must work hard t0
produce his equal. We are sure Kenneth has another good season in store.
Our trusty tackles, Moorehead and Trout, have never failed. With clean, quick
methods they attain their ends. Moorehead received a broken arm at McComb
which weakened our strong line for sometime. Both players are looking forward t0
their final season next fall and our best wishes for good luck go with them.
Captain Hart and Spitler work in harmony with Dove at center and form a
strong combination. Spitler and Dove will be on hand next season hut Captain Hart
graduates after four seasons of remarkable playing. Gary, H. Trout and C. Trout
have helped out on the line this season and they will work in nicely next fall.
In the back field we have that swift Gorsuch at quarter with Fisher in reserve.
They have played a fine brand of ball this season and Gorsuch has been rewarded
with the captaincy for next year. Fisher, who graduates this year, was laid out
with a broken collar the last half seasor.,
With Abbot, Elder and Space to change off at half we have a remarkable
combination. Elder always ready to gain with a long end run, while Abbot Ol'
Space is waiting for a defensive fight. All three players will be out next fall and
we expect great things from them.
Ray Trout, that husky fullback, has come up to our expectations. He is always
ready to deliver a nice pass or plow for il gain. He plays clean hall and is expected
to hold his own next season.
Through the efforts of these players Mr. VVeaver has given A. T. H. S. a high
standing in the opinion of the surrounding teams and fans.
Along' with hard fight, Mr. VVeaver has made his team hold clean sportsman-
ship alvove all things, and has received much comment from opponents due to these
facts. VVith Captain Hart, the ideal of honesty and good spirit at its head, the Allen
township squad has spread the gospel of clean athletics throughout its scheduled
territory. N0 matter what team it is that falls before their strength, they mention
our team as the ideal of real sportsmanship.

Boys Basketball
T takes no boisterous remarks to voire the merits of our basket ball clelJ2U'UU9flT-
for the appreciate on of those merits has been vonstantly shown by our staUI1Ch
supporters and by excellent community vo-operation, VVe are glad to say that
wherever Allen township's fast teams are playing their rooters are the real sports
of the crowd. WVith our teams, the same as honest men in life, we C10 lOl seek
victory through a lueky loop hole but by true technique do we play the 353019.
Our able coaeh, Mr, Chronir, has developed some real ability in our players,
He often relates tales of vim-tory when he was still in the game. Coach Ch1'0l1iC
added to his coaching knowledge a six week's course under Professor Hlsen at
Ohio State University last summer and from these sources he has trained his
teams under college tar-tic-s.
From thirty candidates he has selertefl eight mei, tv l'9l!1'PSH'l1t our school in
all first 1-lass contests.
Captain Hartman, Fisher and Kenneth llartnxan to i-hange at forward make
a niee combination. Dove and Elder at eenter manager to get the tipoff, while
Trout, Gorsuch and Ensign play the defenslre eild.
Our team has been taught the Dr, Meanwell system used in all leading colleges,
and it works out nicely. This system develops nive, speedy dribbling and short
passes which insure Captain Hartman a ni:-e, quick shot. Although we were unlucky
at tournament time with Hartman, star forward, in poor shape, and Dove on the
sick list, we put up a clean brand of ball, appreo ated by those who have a knowl-
edge of the game. During the tournament game with Arlington Gorsuch and
Ensign were added to the sick list with 1-raeked ribs. lt is significant to note that
not one opponent has been disabled while playing A. T. boys this season. It speaks
well for our players and bears out the main point of lVlr.'Chronio's coaching.
We had only one week's practice when we were defeated the first game of
the season at Hoytsville. The defeat from North Baltirnore showed lack of practice
and not until our vietory over the Alumni did our team get back to the old time
ball, VVe easily defeated Mt, Cory in a fast game but the next week were defeated
by Rawson who succeeded in laying out our best players. We won from Liberty
and Arlington by a nice margin only to meet defeat with North Baltimore after a
rough game. Mt. Cory and Liberty again niet defeat at our hands in fast, clean
games, but we lost to Arlington both at the tournament and there because .of
disabled players. It shows our ability when in shape, by the .hard defeat over
Rawson, the touriiament champs. They played hard ball but were helpless under
Coach Chronicls shooters. XVe have proved by our defeating Arcadia, on their
own floor, that their game was won from us by unfair means rather than from
real basketball. The season was officially closed by defeating the Alumni in a
hard game 29 to 18. Captain Hartman, Fisher and Ensign leave the squad this year,
Hftel' three Yeflrfl of W1Y'f4ifY lllayinir. ard their absenee will be felt next season.
As a fitting close of the season the eight letter men met and elected LeRoy
TY'0Uf Uiilltilin fill' the FQHSUN of '25 in honor of the ability he has shown in the
past three years. We take this opportunity tn extend our best wishes of success
to him and his fellow workers for next year's basketball showing.

Girls Basketball
URRAH for the girls, They won the county championship by defeating
Liberty in a fast game in the tournament finals. Coach Chronic deserves
unlimited credit for their showing this year because he started the season
with only three girls who had letters from last year. Mr. Chronic developed his
winners from some twenty candidates all of whom were willing to learn and fight-
He has coached many good teams and worked with many players but he observes
that some of this ye'ar's talent is the best that he has ever produced.
Captain Dove, Huffman and Abbott are all good shots and play nice offensive
hall. Thomas, Poe, DeRodes and Reed change off at center of the floor and do
some real pass work. Fisher, Locey and Burrell form a strong defensive combination
which would be hard to beat. Outside of Burrell and DeRodes, who graduate this
year, the remainder of the team are new at the game and will represent A. T. H. S-
another season at least.
The girls showed remarkable ability in defeating Hoytville and North Baltimore
but lost a hard game to the local Alumni. They easily defeated Mt. Cory but
didn't pull together and fell to defeat before both Rawson and Liberty- Arlingt0H
was easily defeated and North Baltimore was outclassed in a 2-2 game. Liberty
again defeated the girls on the home floor, but in the tournament, after defeating
Arcadia, our girls easily won from their old rivals and put V. B. to the front.
Arlington was next defeated but Rawson staged a come-'back 12-3. Their first
game with Arcadia was a victory while the last ended a tie, To finish the season
our girls defeated Findlay's Firsts in one of the hardest games of the year.
VVe must not omit to here make note of the pleasures we enjoyed during the
workouts and the good times we had on the truck going and coming from games.
To close their victorious season the girls elected Miss Fern Thomas as their
iiext year's leader. VVe are sure they will accomplish great things under her leader-
ship. and we hppe them the very best of success.

TRACK MEET
HE season of '23 was the tirst successful track season in the history of our school.
Coach Chronic worked hard to produce a winning team and was successful.
It is a valuable asset to our school to have track talent added to our athletic
abilities. At the last county meet, considering total points made by the whole school,
we were the champsg however, our high school was second only to Rawsfrn. The
boys team competed in the State Sectional Meet at Ada. and made a nice showing.
This season real enthusiasm is shown and both teams are working hard for the
championship. Captain Fisher and Coach Chronic are working out a real team
and mean victory.

chorus has worked with remarkable zeal which brings the inevitable-Success.
'lThe Gypsy Roverfl given Feb. 27, was said to be the best operetta yet put on by
the Glee Club. The story of the musical comedy was built around the disappear-
ance and the romance ot Rob, a gypsy lad, in reality, the lost heir to the Sir Gilbert
Howe estate. The part of Rob. played by James Fisher, was a treat to the
audience and he is to be commended on his ability for this line of work. Juanita.
Edwards, taking the part of Lady Constance, is also to be highly praised for her
good work as are all those taking part.
The musical comedy was coached by lklrs. Qhilcote, our vocal music teacher,
who has been teaching music in our school for the past six years. VVe owe much
of the success of the operetta to her and she is to be congratulated. The Glee Club

directorship of Prof. Carl Twining who is teaching music in our school and has
been for the past two years.
The first event at which we were called upon to act was the Orchestra recital,
Dec. 15. The program consisted of a number of marches, overtures, solos and
popular pieces which were well received and greatly appreciated by the audience.
Other events at which we served, were the junior play, High School Operetta
and the Teacherls Institute. We felt as though it was a great honor to have been
asked to play for the Institute. WVe played to the best of our ability to show the
Hancock County teachers our mettle and what a really good. orchestra we had.
The orchestra, which has a membership of forty music students, is composed
of the following: Violins: Hattie Huffman, Aura Barnd, Martha Reed, Iva Schwab,

supplement and broaden the work of the Chemistry Class, by devoting time
outside of school to the study of topics pertaining- to scientific events.
During the year, many interesting experiments were performed and numerous
papers read before the club. It is apparent that many of these will he of considerable
value to the student both in and out of class.

OUSEKEEPING is the biggest woman-employing industry in the world. It is
the oldest industry in creation and yet no other occupation is annually called
upon to employ so much unskilled labor.
In 1917 our government, realizing that the future of America depends upon the
conditions found in our homes, passed a law providing for the teaching of Home-
making as a profession to our High School girls. Smith-Hughes Home Economics was
established in Allen Township High School in the fall of 1922. There are between
forty and fifty of these schools in the State of Ohio.
Home Economics is, in a broad sense, the science of household management. It
includes the study of the planning and preparation of meals, sewing, dietetics, house
planning, house decoration, care of the sick, sanitation, and the general care of the
home from a sanitary and economic standpoint. Girls who are entering the field of
home-making with its many and varied duties will be glad that they have been able
to take such a. course in High School.

HIS is one of the one hundred twelve departments of Vocational Agriculture
located in the High Sn-howls of Ohio and is offered to students under the Smith-
Hughes act.
It is a four year course including the study of many different phases of farming
sueh as Animal Husbandry, Farm Engineerinsf, Farm Management, and Crops.
The purpose of the eouse is to give the boys in rural communities practical and
seiestific training in Agrir-ulture, thus fitting them to become real farmers.
This department was introduf-ed in the school in the year of 1918-19. The first
teacher was T. J. Brownlee. He was succeeded by Mark E. Simons who had charge of
the ever inereasing class for the next three years. Mr. Simons was succeeded by
Everett VV. Koch who is the present teneher in the department which'n0w consists
of thirty eight boys enrolled.
The activities of the class :ire praetical and numerous. They are based on such
things as surveying, testing of seed corn, soil testing. and computing rations for farm
animals. Many enjoyable field trips have been experienced by the members of the
classes.

MY WORK
"Let me but do my work from day to day
In field or forest, desk or loom,
In roaring market place, or tranquil room.
Let me but find it in my heart to say,
When vagrant wishes beckon me astray,
This is my work, my blessing, not my doom,
Of all who live, I am the one by whom
This work can best be done in my own way,
To suit my spirit and to prove my powers,
Then shall I cheerfully greet the laboring hours
And cheerful turn when the long shadows fall
At eventide to play, and love and rest,
Because I know for me my work is best."

An' gives you a slap on the hack,
As he reaches clear down in his pocket

An' hands you a bundle of "jack,"

An' only climbs down when he goes to the
