Secre- tary '23, The Whole Town's Talking 22 Hifiory of 615155 of 426 In September, 1922. a group of light, aspiring and eager youngsters, not lacking the greenness characteristic of such classes, registered as Freshmen in C. H. S. We were not long, however, in acquainting ourselves with the strange surroundings and in a few weeks began school life in earnest. It was with much pride and dignity that we announced the result of our first class meeting, which was as follows: Presi- dent, Martha Stogdill: vice-president, Ezra Klinger: secretary-treasurer, Lela Reid- enbach. The first social event in which we participated was the banquet given us by the Sophomores. Vifhile Freshmen, we gave two delightful parties. one a Halloween. the other a bob-sled party. Our battle with Latin, English and Algebra was not so difficult as we had expected, and after the Iinal exams, victory reigned, we proclaimed ourselves Sophomores. Entering the Sophomore class somewhat decreased in number but still possessed with the same loyalty and enthusiasm we elected Ernest Harper, president: Evelyn Reidenbach, vice-president: Catherine Dauler, secretary: Otis Bricker, treasurer. In order to make the acquaintance of our new teachers and classmates a weiner roast was held four miles east of Convoy in a grove. On November 9th we initiated the Freshies at the annual Freshman-Sophomore banquet. The literary societies gave us the opportunity to display our various talents. XYe were also represented in the County Eisteddfod and Spelling Contest. Sadly, we realized that just half our High School days were over, after completing a most successful year as Sophomores. YVith renewed hopes and high ambitions we began our third year under the lead- ership of the following officers: President, VVayne Helms: vice-president, Inas Gard- ner: secretary, Hazel jones: treasurer, Evelyn Reidenbach. On Halloween we were entertained at an old-fashioned barn party given at the home of Inas Gardner. From parties we turned toward more serious things. In March. we gave, with. the help of the faculty and other classes, the most successful event of the season-the minstrel show. XfVho can forget the darkies of this occasion. This tinanced us in giving one of the most elaborate Junior-Senior banquets ever witnessed in C. H. S. As graduation drew near we were saddened by the fact that the class of '25 would no longer occupy the favored seats in the assembly or be seen talking in the halls. Our duty, then, was to take their place and accomplish our tasks with the same zeal and willingness which characterized them. Our Junior year was ended by taking a never- to-be-forgotten trip to Hamilton Lake. Once more we stepped into C. H. S.. but this time under the dignified title of Seniors. VVe came determined to make things go and set a standard which the other classes might follow. The otiicers elected were: VVilbur Pancake. president: Lela Reidenbach, vice-president: Inas Gardner, secretary: lfrances Mowry. treasurer. VVe were represented on the varsity team by three letter men and on the girls' team by three members of the Senior class. Everyone remembers the many banquets given in honor of our athletes. Being a very busy class with work on the Bellerophon. class play and other activities we had little time for parties. Vnder the direction of the Senior class a series of moving pictures were shown which enabled us to put out a bigger and better annual. Our success, in all that we tried to do, we partly attribute to the help and splendid advice of the faculty, especially Mr. Davis, our sponsor, since we were Sophomores. At last came the hardest thing of all-graduation. It was in the Baccalaureate sermon and commencement that we realized our motto, Not Eve- ning-but Dawn, and inspired us to use to a greater extent the knowledge acquired at dear old C. H. S. 2 .3 eff Lily! Ilforo' From the Sefziors It is customary for the Seniors to speak a word of farewell. and perhaps give a little advice to those who stay behind. Four years we have labored together, sharing our work, our pleasures and a few sorrows. Most of us can look back over our high school days with pride and have the thought that we have done our best. Our class, as a whole, is one which will not soon be for- gotten. NYe have entered into activities of our school zeal, doing all that was possible to keep alive file needed pep and spirit. WVe have been represented in oratory, music and athletics. And what is more important. we have a large number of honor students to prove that we have not forgotten the purpose of school. These lines from the Psalm of Life to express our sentiments: And departing, leaves behind us. Footprints on the sands of time. Footprints, that perhaps another Sailing o'er life's solemn main: A forlorn and footsore brother. Seeing shall take heart again. To those who are left to follow in our footsteps we wish the best of luck. May they strive to attain the high places, and may they succeed. Let them try to keep dear old C H. S. from sinking into the ranks of a common place school: keep her sailing proudly. triumphantly. ahead of the rest-a school to be envied and honored for her talent, her sportsman- ship, and her high ideals. 53 4 , ,,4c'f1'f ' W SY' it ,,.... 1 X ..., 5 fzafzge 1.11 Our Hzgh School in the Tas! Years No doubt the greatest change in our High School has come through the change of appearance. Recall the number of girls, when our Senior class started our career. with bobbed hair. Or just for another diversion think of the boys in long trousers. NYell. we all agree that it doesn't take much of our time. , Again, there has been a great change in our faculty. Some of the faculty that the class of '26 were first directed under. have entered into the matrimonial sea. others 'are still starting Freshmen out on their gay career. Another change we can all be proud of is the change in our school building. If only our wonderful gym had been added we would have a right to feel proud, but several new and spacious class rooms have been added, and also a hall. not so dark as the otherg for no doubt all Freshmen had the same feeling of terror as we. when we passed through its gloomv recesses. Our curriculum has also been enlarged during our high school career. Convoy has a course in its school that anv school its size can well be proud off Perhaps the best of these and the ones of most interest to the boys and girls is the manual training and home ec courses. Also there has been a change in the recreational life of the school. Four years have shown a marked increase manifested in basketball. The interest shown toward baseball and football is also increasing. The success of our teams has partially been on account of added athletics equip- ment. This year the picture shows. being introduced. have presented a new form of wholesome entertainment. Not only the intellectual side of the pupil's life is cared for. but with the introduction of Bible training in the school the spiritual side has been increased. W'ith our large gym and start toward playground equipment and our numerous' sports we have a good chance toward physical development. If the name of Convoy High School is carried on with the zeal experienced during the past four years. every graduate can well be proud of his Alma Hater. . 24 WOT I al' 1927 President , ,,,, , Yice-Presiclent Secretary , , ,, Treasurer , Xlexancler.

' lL7II.0l' Cftzxi' HZ'5f01'l'1' iVho could help remembering that beautiful day on which we tirst made our appearance in the Freshman class? Our tirst step was in organizing our class. VVe elected Darwin North. president: lford Clay. vice-president: Earl Mace. secretary- treasurer. and the colors chosen were pink and gray. The tirst great event of the sea- son was a weiner roast at Lester Burrisf This was later followed by a sleigh ride party which took us to the home of Esther Shilts. At the close of the season we showed our ability by giving the operetta, Yanki San. Thus with the aid of our president and Nliss Poe. otll' hope of salvation. we sallied through the Green Freshieu stage very successfully. ii'e returned to school the next fall very happy to think that we now ranked as sophomores and not timid little freshmen. Our class was reorganized and then-the Freshman-Sophiimore banquet lPon't you remember those green ties and unmatched stockings-also the pie eating contest? iYe were proud of having the cheer leaders chosen from our class. Darwin North. Nlargaret iYhitmer and Jennie XVeaver. .ind now we come to the present. the lunior class of '25-'26, continuing its way on the sea of education. Un the very tirst day of school our class organized. electing Darwin North. president: lfsther Shilts. vice-president: Rhea Kreischer. secretary: Kathryn Lare. treasurer. Pastel shades of pink and green were chosen as class colors. and the Pink 'lea rose as class tiower. It was decided bv the class to charge ten cents dues per month. XYith the opening- of the season the quality of the class was shown on the football team. XVe are very proud of having tive first team players. The captain. Leo Lee. proved his great ability in making touchdowns for the red and white. Perry Huffman. small but mighty. has proved himself a star basketball player. by being chosen as a forward on the all-star county team. Full of Pep. that's Fern Baker. our jumping center. iYe also boast of many other good basketball players on both first and second teams. Alice Heads and Laura Blctlmber were chosen to represent the school in the county oratorical contest: both from our class. Alice gave the recitation, VVhite .Xzaleasf Laura. the oration. Justice for All. bringing home with her the county championship. Theres music in the air when you're in our midst. XYe are well represented in the local Eisteddfod. taking many of the prizes, also in the county Feisteddfod. There are also many juniors in the orchestra and we're very proud of the fact that in Ford Clay we have a natural born musical director. In dramatics. too. our class is right there. Anne XVhat's-Her-Name ? -a great mystery from beginning to end-was given quite an ovation and the players voted as great actors. The ingenuity of the class was shown in the manner of entertaining the Seniors at the Prom. which proved to be a great success. Thus the Klunior class has passed this year and the two previous years. having been verv successful in all attempts. Before us lies the last year of our school days. Vile. as Seniors. will be supposed to lead in the High School activities. According to indications. the Senior class of '27 can ably do this.

A few weeks after school had started we organized ULU' class with Miss Lichtensteiger as our sponsor. The class ofncers were as follows: President, Harold Leslie: vice-president, -lohn Nlarsliallg secretary-treasurer, Mildred Armstrong. As we were hard-working Freshmen we had little time for socials. The main event of the year was the Freshman-Sophomore banquet which was given by the Sophomores in our honor. lYe gave one program during the year. Although it was a rather miscellaneous one. it was enjoyed by all. It ended up with a pep meet- ing as it was the same day that Convoy boys and girls played basketball with York. Lester Green represented our class in basketball. Mary Shaffer, although not receiying a letter. represented us in basketball at the Van XYert countv tournament. Both the lfreshman boys and girls were defeated in the inner class tournament which took place on New Year's day. It wasn't long until the Iirst year of our High School had vanished into dreams of the days gone by. It seemed but a few days of summer vacation until we enrolled in Tully-Convoy High School in the fall of '25, as wise with thirty members in our class Sophomores. although our class was somewhat smaller than it was when we were lfreshmen, we all took more responsibility and decided to have a very good class. A few weeks after the beginning of our Sophomore year. we held a meeting and organized our class with Mr. Livingston as our sponsor. The class officers were elected as follows: President. Lucile Reidenbach: vice-president. Lester Green: secretary- lreasurer, Mary Shaffer. As we were also hard working' Sophomores we had little time for socials. The main event of the year was the weiner roast and marshmellow toast which was held at the home of Nolan Friedly. VVe had a very pleasant time and are expecting to do the same for the remaining years in Convoy High School. Mary Shaffer, Lucile Reidenbach and Mildred Armstrong represented the Sophomore class in basketball. Lester Green, lloyt Dauler and Xliilliam Myers both in basketball and football. The time which we spent in our Sophomore year seemed to tly away very rapidly and have but a few more weeks of school. The last few weeks of our Sophomore team seemed to be very busy ones because there were manv who had not finished their book reports, and we were writing themes in our history class. It will soon be time for vacation, and then we will be anxious to enter C. H. again next fall as bright luniors. g 32 . - - 5.

Fresfimrzfz Class Historia' The Freshman class of 1925-Z6 was one of the largest classes to enter Convoy High School. At the beginning of the year there were iifty-four members. Some of these withdrew. reducing the number to forty-six. The organization of the class took place a few weeks after the opening of school, VVhen the officers were elected, Though shy. we'll fly was chosen for the class motto, the carnation for the class tiower. and navy blue and gold for the class colors. The tirst event of the year was the class party held in Ackermans woods. A large number of the Freshman and also the teachers attended this party. Roasting wieners and playing games were the main features of the evening. Another party was enioyed by the class a few weeks later when Robert Powell, who moved with his parents to Leipsic. Ohio, was given a farewell party. The school months wore on, and the Christmas season drew near and with it the selling of Christmas seals. The Freshman class agreed to buv a tive-dollar bond, assessing each member of the class to pay for it. The Frehmen boys took an active interest in football. They were always ready for practice, getting ready to take the place of the upper classmen. Alfred Lee made the tirst team and played in several games. XVhen the basketball season opened the Freshman boys and girls organized teams and scheduled games with the eighth grade. In every game the Freshman teams were the victors. Fern North proved to be the outstanding player of the girls, earning a suit and getting to play with the high school team, Yernie Densel was the Freshman boy who was permitted to play with the regular team. In the local tournament the Sophomore teams defeated the Fresh- men, although the latter played hard and well. A number of the Freshmen boys went out for baseball. Gaylord Stemen, on first base, and Clarence Black, in the pitcher's box. represented the Freshmen on the high school team. Music being required in the Freshman year. every member of the class belongs to the lfreshman cliorus, lioth boys and girls sang in the choruses at the local Fisteddfod. Helen Baclchus won second place in the soprano solo contest. Fern North. Mabel Foley, and Berniece Denig won first prize in the girls' trio, and so represented Convoy in the county Eisteddfod, where they won second prize.

Su muttered old man .lenks to himself as he walked back to his office. He strode into his private otiice. Slouching down in his swivel chair he pondered deeply. He was founder and nearly sole owner of -Ienkville. a town of some 6.000 inhabitants. and vet his washwoman wouldnt iron his shirt because of a pesky football game. NVell. he'd tix 'em. That night there was a special meeting' of the Board of liducatioa. Less than a week later it came out in the county papers that bw a special act of the school bward there would be no more activities in the new lenkville High School. Thev had de- cided that the present dav youth was too much absorbed in outside events to learn anything. The town was horror stricken. No more games. no more plays and operettas. Could it be possible? The students quit school. the people protested. but to no avail. Mr. lenks was a powerful man and the edict was permanent and must be enforced. The students were forced to return to school and the parents silenced. Life as -I H. 5. became a miserable grind. Such a thing could have but one result. People began to leave town. real estate sank to a new low mark. One bv one the teachers at school resigned and it was with difficulty that even poor, inefficient teachers were hired. The school was rated as second class and its graduates were unable to enter college. But this was not all. The students, thrown upon their own resources for amuse- ment. haunted the poolroonis and filled the dance halls, Throngs of boys terrorized the town by their nightly raids. The vouth of the town was becoming' demoralized, Conditions became intolerable. Again Mr. Jenks walked down the street muttering, I'll tix 'em. l'll tix 'emf' For todav his washwoman had liatlv refused to wash or iron his clothes. and he could not understand why. But he could think uf no wav to hx 'em. He called his private secretary to his aid He told him his troubles and asked for advice. The town is dead. It needs some excitement. This was the only answer he could get from his advisor. Excitement. eh! XVell. well! XYe'll try to make a little. His eyes became suddenly bright and he became extremely nervous. A half smile curved his lips and his face flushed. Yes. he would provide enough excitement. An hour later a tire broke out in an old barn near the edge of town. The fire chief and nearly half his men had moved out of town. Nobody else would tight the fire. XVas not the property worthless anyhow? XYhy save it? In two days the tire had consumed all but the bank building and the town was empty of life. Yes. empty except for one person. That was Mr. Ienks. And we find him on top of his bank building muttering. I'll fix 'em, Iill fix 'em. 38 The E Bellerophon 5 r N 1 X 1 K 1 , V 1925-26 TI-IH ANNUAL BOARD Editor-in-Chief 7 ,,,, 7 Business Manager 7 7 Art Editor 7 7 Society Editor 77 7 Girls' Athletics 7 Boys' Athletics 7 ,777 7 Circulation Manager 77 Snapshot Editor 7777777 Joke Editor 77 7 Faculty Adviser 7 7 fellerophon S M f f 40 Dale E.

Davis Clary Troplzecy In the year nineteen hundred lifty as I was seated before my lireplace watching the little tongues of Haines dance about, they seemed to form objects which attracted my attention greatly. To my asonishmen a prophet came forth, saying to me. Listen Ye, and you shall see the doings of your former classmates as they are today. Notice their achievements, some of which are very great. Of course, I immediately became interested and listened and looked impatiently. I could hardly believe my eyes when I saw the scene of Convoy in nineteen hundred Iifty. The city was wrapped in a coat, of leaping flames of tire. Listening I could faintly hear moans, and, on looking closer I distinguished many outstretched forms on cots. I saw many nurses moving among them, administering to their wants. Chief among these was one of my classmates, Hazel Jones. She still bears that patient look on her face. The fire had been started by some careless loafer in one of the largest department stores owned by Monsieur Elmer Campbell. I see Elmer has put his French to some use if only in his name. Again, I could see the halls of Congress. The galleries were filled to over- flowing because a question of great importance was being discussed. It was the question of whether a woman from Ohio should be admitted to the President's seat. This is the lirst time a lady has been elected. The name of the President seemed familiar. Of course it was Martha Stogdill. Martha has finally attained wonderful success. The chief leader of the question being discussed was Wilbur Pancake. a Senator from Ohio. VVilbur has become very intimate with the lady president and it is prophesied a match will soon be made. I also noticed another familiar face. It was Benson Meyers. as erect as ever. His hair has turned slightly gray from worry, I presume. Continuing my gaze I saw a beautiful centralized school building, surrounded by beautiful hedges and shrubberyg also, equipped with a wonderful play ground. I would define it as an ideal school. Many children came here every day. They were all well taught, for Inas Gardner is the instructor. I see Inas has held to her am- bitions of teaching. Another outstanding character here was a short, still erect man who, it seems, is overseer. I soon learned that it was Lawrence May. He was talk- ing to a small child who addressed him as Daddy Lawrence. It all. came to me in a flash, Lawrence and Margaret XVhitmer married as planned in high school days. and this was their child. Ma1'garet never used her capable ability. Again I saw the once small town of Dixon transformed into a magnificent city. On the corner of one of the busiest streets I saw the traffic cop. not a man, but no other than Jennie VVeaver. While my gaze was still held on this scene a taxi whirled by. The driver was Goldie Zinn. To my astonishment she had a boyish bob which is very modern in Dixon. The ladies had taken full sway of the city for Evelyn Reidenbach was mayor. On her council were three former classmates, Grace Riley. Glennis Ramsey, and Erma Geissler. The order of the town was strictly conducted. These girls are as yet unmarried and moved to Dixon on account of the Old Maids' Home, which was erected there by Emma Ackerman and Agnes Etzler. My next view was on Convoy again. The destructive tire had been extinguished, and I was able to read, amid the smoke of factories, on 'one of the skyscrapers, a sign Convoy's Mieux Cafe Shoppee' proprieted bysLela Reidenbach and Ruth Armstrong. The waiters were Ezra Klinger, and-the other bore a familiar smile yet I could not have placed him had not Ezra called out his name. It was Dale Martin, leader of fashions for men in Convoy. He had become so thin I could hardly believe my eyes. -ll ALLEN COUNTV PUBLIC LI llNIHHMIlJIIHIHHHIHIHIWHWHINIHHIMWIHJNHI i 31833 01227 R 'Q 8? The ?

My vision seemed blurred but in an instant everything became clear again. No wonder for the great Reidenbach-Kreischer circus has come to town. Norman and LeRoy combined their circuses after the dissolving of the noted Barnum K Bailey circus. 'I'he parade was passing down Main street. lfirst in line was the band. I didn't recognize anyone in this group because I was chietlv interested in my former class- mates. IYhen I saw Norman I knew Catherine Ilauler would be along for she and he are married. Sure enough for here she came in a lion's cage. Lion tamer, no doubt. In the line of the animals was a yerv large elephant and on its back was the Large XYayne Helms. One could hardly see him as he was. as yet. small. Of course he was not alone for his wife. formerly Mabel Shutt, accompanied him as the toe dancer and rope walker, It was said that she could walk a thread if it were strong enough. I watched the circus until the end thinking I would perhaps see more acquaintances, but to no avail. 'l'here were none, ' Nly gaze was once more changed: this time it was on the desolate land of Africa. It was on a hot lulv dav and the sun was scorching. I could not understand why the prophet should direct my eyes on this scene. but this puzzle was soon solved for there stood llale XYebb in the doorway of a mud hut. His life work had placed him in this wilderness where he administered to the ailments of these savage people. Esther Miller has tinally become a nurse in the Evanston Hospital. Evanston. Illinois, Her white uniform led nie to believe her a special nurse. Yelma Lee has become organist in a large theater in New York. She has graduated from the Music Conservatory at Cincinnati, Ohio. I could not understand whv I did not see lfrances lVlowrv's life. lfinallv it ap- peared. She was at the head of a large school erected in Convov for the deaf and blind. lfrances realized the great need of education for these unfortunate people. Iiast. but not least, came the visioa of our high school sponsor, Mr. Davis. He has liecome professor of science at tlhio State l'niyersity at Columbus. One would hardly know him for he has become very stout and. sad but true. bald. Poor man. he hafl feared this since leaving Convoy High School. Being very fatigued after this pleasing acquaintance with mv former classmates I retired without learning what the future might still have in store for me. I really do not care because at present I ani a spinster and anxiously waiting for better tunes. -.Jiffy .If0l!r'llA'I1f7f. 5. 55 if lb... 4' su .. uf fm : -:- : fix 'ff:...

Mr. Simmons. senior partner in a paint business. has a marriageable daughter. For business reasons he wants her to marry the junior partner, Chester Binney. But the iunior partner is the kind of a bachelor no woman likes. He is such a blank - as Mrs, Simmons put it- that every time he comes into the room it seems that some- one has iust gone out. The senior partner has the ieda that every woman would like to get that man whom every other woman wants. Hence he conceives the idea of in- venting a few love affairs for Chester. But with whom? He selects at random from the book shop some photographs of beautiful women, which afterwards, unfortunately. prove to be those of the Queen of Roumania: Mona Lisa, and Letty Lythe, a moving picture star. But the star is decided on as the iunior partner's latest dame: and. at the proper time. the Story is allowed to leak out. Soon l'The Whole Town's Talk- ing. All the girls, old and young. fall in love with him. and especially the daughter. But in the midst of his glory. the picture star, on a personal tour with one of her pictures, suddenly appears in town, accompanied by her tiance, who happens to be a prize fighter. From this point onward there is a series of complications which work up to a climax of whirlwind hilarity, when Chester, as victor over the vanquished Swift and Shields, claims Ethel as his wife. 49 Huifnne What!

Tony Wfheat, fleeing from the police. hides in the home of ,Iudge Bunley and allows the family to mistake him for their nephew, Ebenezer VVhittle. The climax of his misfortune is reached when he is married, much against his inclinations to a masked lady. with a deep bass voice. called bv the minister Anne. Tony is much relieved when he finds that the lady whom he married was his former fiancee. The play, besides the mystery. consists of clean comedy situations, created by Mooney, the tempermental maid with nerves: Barbara and Nullie, two youthful lovers are also featured. Another very interesting feature of the play was Gramma. a typical nervous old lady of SZ years of age. This play was given April 16th in the school auditorium and proved to be one of the best plays ever presented bv high school students in this vicinity. 49 zmior Tram A scene of veritable beauty and much merriment was the l. O. O. F. lodge room on the evening of May Sth, for there had gathered the junior class to do honor to the graduating class of '25. After great preparations on the part of the Juniors, the halls were elaborately decorated in the colors of both classes-green and white and cerise and gray. The latter two colors were profusely used in making a massive canopy effect and in paneling the walls together with the Wisteria Bowers at each end of the room. The many tloor lamps, candles and palms enhanced the scene with the large banquet tables placed in the center beautifully decorated with centerpieces of the class flowers, tea roses and valley lilies, Dainty place cards along with miniature class penants unfurled on tiny staffs at whose base was tied a small diploma revealing a prophecy marked each place. Novelty roses, which later proved to be caps, were the favors. The delicious four-course lunch was served to the members of the two ciasses. the Faculty, and members of the School Board. After the banquet, a short program was given while seated at the table. with Wayne Helms acting as toastmaster. 'l he welcome was extended by Martha Stogdill, with a response by Durbin Hertz, president of the Senior class. Superintendent Shaffer represented the faculty, and Mr. Snyder the Board of Education. Music for the occasion was furnished by Dale XYebb, Inas Gardner, and Kathryn Dauler, which concluded the table program. The mock commencement was a hilarious success and from it we shall have memories of Dale Martin. as president of the School Boardg Benson Myers, as superintendent. and how nobly well VVilbur Pancake and Ezra Klinger mocked the Seniors in giving orations. No one will ever forget the class song. Alice Rlollenkopfs oration on pies, or the manner in which we received our diplomas. This was truly one of the most beautiful and brilliant gatherings ever held under school auspices. After the socfal hour all departed with pleasant memories of the closing event-the Seniors grateful to tlze lower classmen, and the Juniors proud of their success. me Hzgh School HtlZl0TQ7E,E7l Tarty Ghosts. hobgoblins, and witches! Indeed, everyone of these any many more, too, were present at the high school Halloween party held October 18:11. the gym was cleverly decorated for the occasion with black and orange, the predominating colors of the Hallowe'en season. also with witches. ghosts. and pumpkins. VVaudering among the corn stocks, many weird personages could be seen, and apparition, which are common at this season. As the guests arrived, everyone in grotesque attire, was ushered through long, dark, spooky passage ways, treated roughly by the ghosts into the gym. Everyone was trying to decide just which one of their friends was behind the mask. Prizes were awarded for the most clever costume which was decided by a grand march. All experienced many thrills, as everyone was ushered through the death chamber by the ghosts where we received the shock of our lives. The fortunes were taken out of the mouths of skulls with out teeth. and last but not least, we were given a peep into our future which proved to be a skeleton in a casket, decorated with flowers which indeed made us feel rather spooky. One of the big events of the evning was the stunts put on by the various classes. Portraying excellent dramatical ability, the Freshman presented a Balky Ford on the way to the County Fair. Much difficulty was experienced with tlat tires and burned out bearings, which was given cleverly by the members of the class, each portraying a part of the Ford. The Sophomores gave a playlet entitled The Crystal Gazer. showing the magician's power to ascertain numbers in the magic crystal, but it did not always prove true, which afforded great merriment. Displaying 3. marked ability in athletics, the junior class staged a Slow Motion Baseball Game as a national game in a unique manner. The Seniors gave a pantomine entitled And the Light Went Out, as four prominent seniors portrayed a very tragic love scene in a new kind of wayiby actions instead of words for as the darling sweetheart was on the verge of accepting the fond lover's proposal and everything done but the tinal seal- The Lights VVent Out. . After the stunts, refreshments were in order. which were appropriate for the occasion. con- sisting of those delicious doughnuts, juicy red apples, and not to mention that three-day-old cider. In fact, we had a fine time, never to be forgotten, and as we, the Seniors, go out into the world. will alwavs hold the memories dear of this our last lligh School Halloween party., 50 M TH LETICS 15 -A N Football In the fall of 19.25 C. H. S. produced one of the best football teams it has had in the past years. Only four players being left from last year's squad, a winning team was not expected out of the material that was left. The HTSY week of school Coach Livingston called for men and thirty were there to answer. Out of this squad he had to build a winning team. PAYNE, OCT. Z.-Our opening game was played away from home. Payne having played the week before had had experience. while C. H. had not. The result was a scoreless tie. :kNTWERP. OCT. 9.-The next week the Red and White journey to Antwerp. With a stubborn defence and a ground-gaining offense, the Red and XVhite came home with a 38-0 victory. :XNTWERP, OCT. 16.-Antwerp was given another lesson in football. This game was played in the mud. and plenty of it. The Red and lVhite celebrated a 32-0 score. ROCKFORT, OCT. 23.e-Rockford here the following week with a team Well suited for tricks. But the Red and XVhite made two touchdowns. The iinal count being 12-0. CELINA, Uwix 29.-The Red and White went to Celina to play one of their strongest teams. This game was played in the mud and water and proved to be a real one. Both teams were within the goal line but were unable to score. The result was a scoreless tie. PAVNE, Nov. 6.--Payne iourney to Convoy the next week. The Red and VVhite had not vet been scored on so they knew they would have to put up a fight. The Red and lVhite's defense would not let them have much of a game. While the offense worked line with six touchdowns. The final score being 30-0. Oaicwoop, Nov. 13.-The Red and VVhite played at Oakwood. 'giving them their only defeat by IZ-0. CELIXA, Nov. 20.-Our last game and a real one. XVith many rooters and good playing we kept Celina from scoring, This was the last game for Dale Martin. L. May and Norm Reidenbach. XVe celebrated with a score of 33-0. Thus the goal line of C. H. S. was not crossed by their opponents. Much material will be, left for the next season and we will be safe in saying that the Red and VVhite will again have a team that will hold up our football standard. .

The ifirvltfetbfl ll Season Our boys enioved. or rather fought, through one of the most erratic seasons C. H. S. has faced in years. At the start of the season Coach Livingston was not given a wealth of cage material to work with and prospects looked slim. As the sea- son progressed the student body and fans were astonished at the good work of the players. The team was only defeated three times throughout the season and attained the Championship of Yan Wert county. Uhio City .. . 12 Convoy Z7 Ft. W. C.

Q1'rl.v 'fifzsliefbfzll 1926 At the beginning of the year. when the enthusiasm of basketball was aroused, about thirty girls came to try out for the team. After a few weeks of practice ten girls were chosen as the squad. 'l hese girls made a remarkable showing throughout the season. A few outstanding games were: December ll, Ohio City 13. Convoy 10.

This was our last game of the season and each girl played her best. The Qz'rf.v TOZ!7'7I1l77ZE77f Great plans and preparations had been made for this event which was held in Yan Vtert February 26th and 27th. ln the afternoon of the first day we journey to the city by the bus route and were quartered in the Marsh Hotel, where we prepared to play the opening game. At 2 :OO p. m. we met Middlepoint, defeating thm by the score of 40-3. Our forwards made baskets at will while the guards prevented the opponents from making a field goal. ln the evening l'nion and York girls played a hard game. requiring an overtime to decide l'nion the winner by the tally of 20-18. This meant we must play Union Saturday. The first game Saturday morning between Ridge and Ohio City was a hard-fought battle and not until near the end did Ridrfe take the lead to win by 25-IS, . The semi-tinals between our girls and Union was thrilling from start to finish, and was any- ones game up to the end. No doubt the result would have been different had not our star forward, Lela Reidenbach. and Alma jones. as guard, been put out by the personal route. The team fought valiantly until the end. Score 15-13 in favor of Union. The finals between Ridge and l'nion was an overtime game, resulting in l'nion as the cham- pions of Van VVert county. s 53 Sept. l4 start. Sept. 21 Oct. 2 Oct.
