OUCZWOT To THE READER : VVhether you leaf the pages of this annual today, tomorrow, or in the distant future, you will find, first of all, an accurate account of any average day in our high school life. Our ultimate aim has been to portray accurately the cross-section of our school, both educationally and socially, as it is in 1936. Each person represented on the staff has so successfully done his work that for the first time all activities are represented. As nearly as possible, each element of our school day is placed in the book without any undue emphasis whatsoever. After representing school life as it was, we turned to our second aim-to add an original touch to the book by giving everything a touch of mild humor. Since humor is something that infiuences every student in some way, we felt that it should have at least a small part in this representative book. On the following pages you will find entertainment to a degree that we sincerely hope you will enjoy. Most of this was produced by Bill Hough after long hours of tiring work. Our work is done. We hope you will realize that this is your book. Primarily it was compiled and pub- lished by the Senior Class, however, the final success has been an outcome of your support. We have tried, lastly, to recognize this support by representing the part you play in making this school the fine, happy, well regulated organization of friendship that it is. Personally we feel that we have done our best, and in so doing, have produced a fine annual. As you read and reread it, we hope that you will find many happy memories of the year 1935-1936 in Fostoria High School. When, in the dim future, you can look back through these pages and find remembrances pleasing to you, then we will have satisfactory proof that we have done Well' JOHN E.

THE BOARD OF EDUCATION It is indeed gratifying to again merit a page in this splendid year-book of 1936. We feel that the excellent quality of this book is only an exemplary reflec- tion of the sterling character of our entire student body. As a board of education we have put forth every effort to give the youth of Fostoria an educational system second to none. In a strict sense of the word, we could not realize this desire within the realms of our own efforts. True, we have been able to provide material equipment, an excellent faculty and other educational essentials of a tangible nature. But all of these are to no avail without your ambition to take advantage of them. It is after all, only through the strenuous work of our student body, and their wholesome cooperative attitude that we have been able to attain our ambitions of maintaining a superior grade of education in Fostoria. It seems that perhaps this book is indicative of the culmination of a span of years during which you have made your greatest strides of progress. How dif- ferent it appears than a similar record of your first year in school would look. The contrast cannot help but impressively reveal the magnitude of your develop- ment. It is with a great deal of pride that we shall scan the pages of this year- book which is your contribution to another page of history in the records of Fostoria High School. VVe congratulate each and every member of this X large graduating class. VVe wish for you every compen- sation that will make you healthy, happy and serviceable citizens. VVe sincerely hope that Fostoria citizenry will be just as proud of your achievements ten years hence as they are in your successful completion of twelve years of Public School Training.

Teacher to Student that teachers should not show partiality to students. that teachers should always address students by their Christian name unless calling a tabulated list. that teachers should give the student due credit of his accomplishments. that teachers make no sarcastic remarks that would embarrass the student in any way. that teachers cooperate so as to balance the outside work of the student. Student to Student that students respect their fellow students property. that students should not hold personal prejudice against any student. that students should not ignore less fortunate students. that the boys be more considerate of the presence of girls and vice-versa. that a student should be obliging to other students for services extended to him. that absolute silence should prevail whenever the chairman of an assembly period rises or steps to the front of the stage. that on assembly dismissal, students rise with beginning of the music and stand in place until time to fall in line and march out.

Bomfquin Q-L- A SS POEMS + + RED AND BLACK '36 CHARTLESS SKIES Like a modern aviator bold VVe ventured forth across the endless seas In search of knowledge. From simplicities We flew to continents, time-tried and old Where, to higher thought, the arts unfold. The works of Virgil and Demonthenes When learned, direct our future destinies And train our minds into the master mold. One voyage clone, another promptly starts Into the ever-changing clouds of life. VVhile hidden close, within our care-worn hearts, To aid our toils in this relentless strife, We hold the memory of lusty cheers That made us victors in our high school years. -John Wade OUR DRAMA The rustling programs all at once are stilledg Bright lights grow dim, and music softly dies. The hushed, expectant audience is thrilled As solemn, velvet darkness veils all eyes. Behind the curtain, too, is felt a hush As eager, radiant, youthful actors pause Beside the wings. Behind, rehearsal's rush, Ahead, a woeful failuregor applause. And now we are the eager actors there, HBack-stage and ready to begin our play, To brave the scornful laugh and critic stare, To please the ones who pray for us today. We know the practice gained these twelve years past VVill mold our life-long drama to the last. -Donald DeWitt : 2 5 PAGE RED AND BLACK '36 PAGE :26: SENI-OR C-L-A-SS HISTO-RY SENIOR CLASS OFFICERS BETTY GENE NEINIAN What sweet thoughts are thine?

SENIOR CLASS HISTORY For twelve years this senior class worked upward to this commendable moment when we might say, We have succeeded! Now we are to receive the diploma symbolizing that for which we have striven. Again we are to be graduated, some to go into another academic quest and some to enter immediately into the obligations of life. We have gone through these six years proudly and expectantly, doing our best to gain recognition and honor for our class. Two years in the east wing of the building were as a separate school. Four years, from a green-horn to the f'Top, have molded our lives into what we now stand for: 'fHonor before honors! As freshmen we looked up to our big brothers and sisters for guidance, independent as we thought we were. As sophomores, we aided new green freshmen in gaining a secure foothold. VVe had our first joint action in select- ing blue and gray class Colors. As juniors, occupying the large junior study hall and nearly filling it, we began to form ideas for our senior year and to watch the seniors closely in order that we would lose no time in taking over our duties. Then, when the big year Came, we were ready, and we have executed these duties to the best of our ability. We guarded freshmen, we led in activities, we helped teachers, and we were, in deed and act, seniors. As time has advanced, We have lost a few of our number, and gained others, but through all have we stuck together and still keep in our memory a remembrance of each friend we lost, as we welcomed new friends when they joined us. VV e have tried to be always worthy of the duties, assignments and obliga- tions that have been given us. We have attempted to show spirit and good sportsmanship for everything we have undertaken, no matter how great or small, or what the outcome might be. We have striven to show our appreciation for all that is being fContinued on Page 34j Aa RED AND SENIOR CLASS + + BLACKB6 CLYDE W. ALGE I live each day.

We look back on these years with happiness and memories worthy of permanence. We see ourselves as others must have seen us as we were beginning to grow in mind and body more fully. How patient they must have been! Now We have tried to follow their example in helping others, remembering we had the same difficulties once. Now, as we are near to completing this phase of our life and education and are now through counting the years till we are graduated, we hope we may be an inspiration to the oncoming classes, as others have been for us.

JUNIOR CLASS HISTORY Eleven years ago in the year of grace, 1924, one hundred-forty-three bright young students took flight in an old-fashioned biplane, on a well-known sky ride called Education. VVould this plane carry us to success or failure? This-we would have to decide. After a short stop at kindergarten, where we learned to draw and write, and above all to be well-behaved and obedient, we traveled on to the world we had long dreamed of-school. It was an adventurous trip during those first years, while we learned the fundamentals of education: readin', writin', and 'rithmetic. At the close of the sixth year, we trans- ferred to a large and more modern type of plane, as we ventured to our next desti- nation, Junior High. Here we faced new trials and tribulations-the large building, numerous teachers, homework, and extra curricular activities. We managed to get used to the new routine, however, and were very proud to become at last a part of the high school. We next took a non-stop fiight, the longest and most thrilling journey of them all, into Senior High. As we looked down from the plane on our previous adventures, we found that we were steadily becoming the noticeable, and worth-while class of 1937. With faith, hope, and courage we advanced into the more difficult reaches of education. As freshmen, or freshies as We were called, we were permitted to join the various clubs. Although this was not our first attempt at drama, Freshmen Players was formed in this year under the leadership of Miss Crafts. Then we soared into our sophomore year. We selected our class colors, brown and orange, and obtained sweaters of these colors. Some of our boys held active parts in the football and basketball squads. Arthur Cole, one of the most outstanding members of our class, took part in the All-School Play, The Arrival of Kitty. In 1936, we triumphantly sailed into our junior year. As a class, we now assumed some of the heavy responsibilities of the school. Arthur Cole was elected president and performed his many duties very efficiently. Many of our boys and girls were represented in the Hi-Y and Girl Reserves clubg and three of our mem- bers were chosen as cheer-leaders. Our students contributed their share toward the purchase of the radio system which was installed. Practically the entire cast of the All-School Play, Charlie's Aunt , was made up of juniors. We success- fully sponsored the junior Dance or J-Hop , as it was called, on February the 20th. The junior Class Play, Within the Law , was presented under the direc- tion of Mr. Leiter, with Mary Crocker and Bruce Currie taking the leading roles. After eleven years of worth while accomplishments and success, we have made a perfect three-point landing so that our plane may be refueled for one final year of fame and glory. -Wanda Gilliard RED AND BLACK '36 :35: PAGE RED AND BLACK '36 PAGE :36: JUNIOR CLASS EUNICE ADAMS 'no BETTY ANDERSON GEORGE APPEI, ROWENA AZZAR MAC BATES MARYLENE BARKLEV MARIE BARNETTX BESSIE BASSETT DOROTHY BECK CHALMER BLOOM IVIAXINE BLOSE LUCILLE BODAY - JACK BOYD WON ROEERT BRANDT WILLIAM BRANDT NORIXIAN BRICKLES MELV.A BROOKOVER IRA CADXVALLADER GLENNA CASKIEYHI ORLO CASTRET IVAN CIIILCOTE GLENN CLARK BOB CLORE MILDRED Coop: ROBERT CRAIN MARY CROCKER BRUCE CURRIE RUTH DAUB GILBERT DECKARD ROBERT DEER XVALTER DEERWESTE NIARJORIE DWVER WILDUR DEXTER ISABELLE DRINKHOUSE EVELYN FEASEL MAX FLACK HERBER'f FOSTER T Dropped ou! of school s x RICHARD DAUGI-IERTI1 NIARION DECKER N'WXOJNfxMf9x HELEN DEVORE ECN iifwva, R l. i RED AND JUNIOR CLASS -sw + BLACK96 DONNA FRIESNER - DONNA FRUTH 4 I' WANDA GILLIARD ff' LOUISE GOTTSCIIAI.L - J AMES CrR.-XY l'I BESSIE GREENFKELD HELEN GRONIAN DONALD GRAVES JOHN GROVE NIARCEIL HADE DON HALL ROBERT HAMPSHIRE PETER HANICQ HELEN HARRISON EDITH HARSHMAN GOLDIE HARTLEY JEAN HENRY 'PAULINE HENRY MARGARET HOLCOMBE FOSTER HORNER WALLACE HAUGHAWOUTT GERALDINE HOUSE BEN JINKS VIRGINIA JOHNSON RICHARD JURRUS NELLIE KERR RUTH KESSLER DOROTHY KIEFER RICHARD KEISER ROBERT KLEINI-IEN I ' 1 , P N .

They are now known far and wide as the Class of 1938. The acts put on by this versatile troupe are as varied as a Major Bowe's amateur hour, and how they draw the crowds! For instance, after the first six years as the chorus in the background, named Grade School, our troupe of 1938 came to the middle of the stage by entering a new scene called junior High. w N For this scene our players occupied a complete wing of the stage-the East Wing. The group of junior high players was divided into sections called home-rooms, each having an advisor or director, with Mr. William Hawk, our principal, as chief. The foreground of the stage was set, for this scene, with science, English, social science, and mathematics, and in the back- ground were art, physical education, and literature. With such a setting our troupe of players progressed rapidly, and before CLASS OFFICERS Jack Prudden ,.........

They had started a new scene called High School, play- ing the part of Freshmen. The setting in the foregound was English and science, with Latin, Spanish, and junior business in the background. Mr. Hawk, as before, was the chief director, but at this point in the play the actors took on new roles. Some of them entered the field of music, and found enjoyment in the Fostoria High School band and orchestra, while others who were especially interested in their part as actors joined the Freshmen Players' Club, under the supervision of Mrs. Mildred Hutchinson. The Student Council, too, was new to these freshmen actors. The president of each home-room took the center of the stage by representing his home-room in this council scene. Many worthwhile acts were put on by our players while they were freshmen and they entered the second part of this same scene-high school-as a proud group of Sophomores. Playing the part of a sophomore was exciting, for there were new parts to portray in clubs and activities such as Audubon-Nitesak, Lambda Sigma, and others. And so we draw the curtains on this young group of actors as they prepare themselves for the next scene, in which they will distinguish themselves in the future. -Florence Walters PAGE , J ,7,,, I I 1 I I L .

Often a poet, such as Tennyson in his Ulysses, can express our thoughts better than we can, yet our experience helps us to understand his meaning. Each one of us has brought varied experiences from the different schools in our city ward build- ings, as well as from different rural schools. l Our hrst acquaintance with the high school building was in coming to see various entertainments given by the high school students. Later when we were in the sixth l grade we had an opportunity to sing in Mr. jones's chorus. Then came the year that we entered the seventh grade at the high school building. That was a big day for us because we would then be able to participate in more activities and make more acquaintances. That September day of 1933, although rainy and dreary, was a very bright day in our lives. Again this poet voices our thoughts or hopes: 'fYet all experience is an arch where CLASS OFFICERS fhmugh Gleams that untraveled world, whose margin fades Forever and forever when I move.

In the seventh and eighth grades we were again able to participate in another chorus directed by Miss Oneita Whiteman. We also had home-room activities in which we had a club and home-room officers. Then, too, we had a few debates between the different home-rooms, and were able to have assembly periods with the high school. None of this could we have done in the grade schools. ' ' ' The Freshmen year brought still more activities into existence because we had a chance to be members of some of the clubs, such as the Audubon Nitesak, Freshmen Players, Girl Reserves, and Girls' Athletic Association. We also had an opportunity to participate in athletics through the junior high football and basketball teams. VVe especially liked the freshmen year, because there was so much more associated with it than with all of the other years combined. Since there has been so much progress up to our Sophomore year, there still must be a greater Future awaiting us in this field of life, so let's seize the opportunity now and make further progress.

COACHES + CHEERLEADERS COACHING STAFF Beginning his second and last year at Fostoria High, was Head Coach Roy CDuganj Miller, who received his athletic training at VVittenberg and Columbia. When Miller resigned early in spring to become Frosh coach at VVest- ern Reserve University, his place was taken by Dwight Qlkej Trubey, also a VVittenberg man, who for the past four seasons has been line coach at New Philadelphia. Miller was ably assisted by Al Sawdy, Physical Ed Director, Johnny Swearingen, ex-Bowling Green college Hashg and the youthful John F. Rolfes, a prod- uct of Miami University who also took over the greater share of the basketball coaching duties.

Tops too, in the eyes of his teammates who elected him their honorary captain. Yea, Bennett-good work! WALTER DEERWESTER, '37 Fullbaek ToOty had the fans on their toes with his deceptive play-and his teammates on their sides with his spontaneous humor. A clown, but nevertheless-a fighter! RICHARD ScHLossER, '36 End Dick's keen competitive spirit and natural ability made him a real asset to the squad. A swell fellow and a swell player! WILLIAM MUNSEY, '39 HaUbaek His indomitable spiritg his unsur- passed light and pep helped Bill to win a varsity position over older and more experienced players. With three more years, watch Bill go! EUGENE ROWE, '38 Hayback Punting, passing, and ball carry- ing. Schoolboy excelled in all of them. Not always spectacular, but always dependable. CHARLES FLECHTNER, '36 Tackle Bull was a consistent tackler and an accurate blocker. His fine spirit and experience will be sorely missed. GLENN CLARK, '37 Center Pete handled his position in great shape and developed into an accurate passer and lineman of merit. HARRY COE, '36 Center Always primed for a great game, Harry's experience, size, and ability were highly appreciated.

Perhaps the fleetest man on the squad, he astonished the stands with his tricky ball handling. WILLIAM TRAUSCH, '37 Guard Bill demonstrated by his tena- cious blocking and tackling that he was a fit running mate for Bud Shirk. His skill, his calmness under fire makes him a defensive bulwark. I MARION DECKER, '37 Tackle Big, capable, and a hard worker, the experience Mutt gained will make him a real candidate for a first string position next fall. ROBERT CROWE, '36 End Bob's lack of weight and expe- rience kept him off the first eleven, but his willingness, his aggressive- ness, made him a credit to his team. CLYDE ALGE, '36 Guard Playing his first and last year of football, Clyde did not break into many games but demonstrated a world of spirit and potential ability. CHARLES BARRINGER, '36 Tackle Playing his first year as a regular, Chuck proved to be valuable not only as an aggressive, driving line- man but also as a place-kicker of merit. CHARLES SHIRK, '37 Guard Continuing to play the scrappy' type of ball that won him a position on the all-Buckeye League team 'n 1934, Bud's skill, speed, and stamina made him one of the most valuable players on the squad. JIMMY HUTCHINS, '38 HaUback Jimmy's line plunging drew cheers from the crowds last fall. He had ability, determination and pep. Small-yes, but Great oaks from little acorns grown!

A steady performer. ROBERT CROWE, '36 Guard A willing worker, and an experienced ball handler, Bob's adeptness on shots beyond the ten second line were a real ltreat. His sharpshooting accounted for 23 points. EDWIN MASEL, '36 Forward Ed not only played basketball, he lived it. His offensive efforts totalled 21 points. 'Cap- able? Earning two letters speaks for itself. DoN RAGER, '36 Center Don's vigorous, ag- gressive style of play, which netted him 133 points, made him of real value to the squad. Tall and rangy, he was also a talented defensive player. ROBERT THUMANN, '36 Forward A seasoned veteran, Bob's steady floor play, and his clever, brainy attack figured largely in the Braves' success this season. He hit the hoop for a total of 103 points. FRANK KODOR, '36 Guard Although this was Frank's first year as a regular, his stellar of- fensive work proved to be the keystone of the Tribe's attack. Frank scored 46 Held goals and 44 free throws for an average of eight points per game. EARL RUSSELL, '37 Forward Cool, fast and de- pendable, Russ will be the nucleus of next year's cage squad. His ability and experience should make him a steadying influence over the younger can- didates.

GIRLS' ATHLETIC ASSOCIATION The Girls' Athletic Association, the only club in Fostoria High School which gives a girl the chance toparticipate in sports and athletics outside of her gym class, has been under the guidance of Miss VVilma Miller, the new director of physical education. The membership of this organization, open to girls from the three upper classes of the high school, has been limited to thirty girls. As has been the custom of this club in years past, both a public and a private initiation were held at the first of the school year. f The meetings, held on the fourth Monday of each month, usually consist of business, a short program, and games. In November, the members were the guests of the Y, M. C. A. Swimming and contests were held in the Y. M. C. A. building, under the supervision of the director of physical education, Mr. Roy Armstrong. The Girls' Athletic Association also sponsors the inter-class basketball and volleyball tournaments which are held each year. These always prove to be exceptionally interesting. This year for the first time, the G. A. A. has started a new organization, the Junior Girls' Athletic Association, which is for seventh, eighth, and ninth grade girls. This club gives the younger girls a chance to organize and also develops their spirit of cooperation. The aim of G. A. A. girls is to earn G. A. A. emblems and F. letters which are presented at the annual formal banquet held in the spring. -Margaret True lf' , or 3, President ..... .......

JUNIOR GIRLS' ATHLETIC ASSOCIATION This year the Senior Girls' Athletic Association has started a Junior division of the club for the seventh, eighth, and ninth grade students, admitting any girl as eligible who is interested in athletics. The girls were given National Recreation Association badge tests which they passed under the supervision of the senior association and Miss Wilma Miller, the Girls' physical education instructor and advisor of the club. Miss Miller is a new teacher this year, coming from Springfield, Ohio, to take charge of girls' athletics and to supervise the two athletic clubs for girls. She attended Ohio State University before coming to Fostoria. The National Recreation badge tests involve such skills as balancing, potato race, all-up Indian Club race, 50-yard dash, basketball throw, 12-inch indoor baseball throw and catch, volleyball serve, tennis serve, basketball goal throw, and 12finch indoor baseball throw. These badge tests come in a series of three: the first quite easy, the second and third increasing in difliculty. The girls went in for fun at every opportunity. Margaret True and Betty Benson took the girls of the club for a hike out to Munger's VVoods, where they cooked their supper and played games. One November morning, the girls went to the City Park at an early hour for their breakfast.

GIRLS' VOLLEY BALL Talk about a good time? Say, there's nothing like a good volleyball game to take school worries off your mind, and that is just what a number of the high school girls have done. The outcomekan interesting, thrilling volleyball tourna- ment which took place in the middle of the first semester. '4Who is going to be the winner? This question was asked a number of times but could not be determined until the teams, composed of freshmen, soph- omores, juniors, and seniors, had played against one another. After several after- noons of play the outcome was as follows: juniors grabbed first place, seniors took second honor, the sophomores came in third, and the freshmen trailed into fourth place. Win or lose, all participants are agreed that volleyball is a great game if one can sock the ball over the net. -Martha Jackson 0 M RED AND GIRLS' BASKETBALL TEAM BLACK 36 Standing: Devota Wise, Elinor Slick, Martha Jackson, Betty Bensong Sealed: Betty Barchus, Margaret True, Virginia Manecke GIRLS' BASKETBALL February and March were busy months in the lives of athletically inclined high school girls. This fact was due to the basketball tournament which, conducted under the leadership of Miss Wilma Miller, ended the third week of March. The final contest of the tournament was played between the Amateurs and the Seniors. This game, which proved to be a very close and exciting fray for both the participants and the spectators, gave the Seniors the championship. Name of Team Seniors ........... Amateurs .... C. G.

VVith the aid of the students and teachers, who watched from the study-hall windows, we accomplished much. The gaudy Red and Blacks marched through some spectacular stunts, always making the opponents' school letter and our own F. H. S. After the football season was over, we went to work on concerts, contests, and other phases of band life. VVe held our first concert February 24, 1936, and it was very well attended. It was here we first played our contest piece, Sven Dnfva, by Hedman, before an appreciative audience. The next important incident was the contest at Bowling Green, fax K , X 1 where both the band and the orchestra competed for honors. A, Now our activities are over and the band can stow away their beautiful red and black uniforms. The younger mem- bers of the organization will inherit the uniforms of the older members who will be gone next year. The band wishes to thank Mr. Reed and the school board for the new in- struments we have received this year. We also thank the Band Mothers for the help it gave the band in transporting it to the footballs and the contests. -John Libby Officers President ....... .......... .

H. S. Auditorium. The forty-seven mem- bers, taken from the three upper grades of the high school, fall freely and easily into motion as they endeavor to keep with Smitty's beat. A violin screeches, a horn blares out of tune, and the drummer forgets to play his part-but why fret? The finest musical assembly in a high school is a symphony such as this one, consisting of twenty-seven strings, ten brasses, eight Woodwinds, and three percussions. The students practiced hard and faithfully on their Tuesday and Thursday morning rehearsals. Difficult numbers by prominent composers, such as Mozart's Symphony in G Minor, Einzugsrnarsch der Bojaren by J. Halvorsen, Haydn Suite by Josef Haydn, March Militaire Francaise from Suite Algeriennen by C. Saint-Saens, and the orchestra contest number, The Calif of Bagdad Overture by A. Boieldieu, were among the classics played. The Orchestra gave several concerts during the year. It was one of the features of the musical week-end held on May 7, 8, and 10. This organization also broadcasted over WSPD, Toledo, in January. A small group of fifteen members who are the superior musicians of the symphony are chosen to make up the pit orchestra which plays for chapel days and for various special programs. Organizations such as these cannot hope to attain the desired effect of music and reach success without an enthusiastic and well-trained musical leader. The orchestras found these qualities in Mr. E. E. Smith, who has been in F. H. S. for the past six years.

This is the first time such an organization has been attempted in our community. As A Cappella means singing without accompaniment, it is also a very necessary point to be well balanced so as to bring out difficult sound effects. Another extremely important factor in this sort of choir work is to have a good, heavy bass section, carrying the foundation for the harmony, so as to make the chord sound full and beautiful. All of the sixty-five voices were tested indi- vidually for range, pitch, quality and sight reading. All of these requirements are very necessary for a well balanced choir. The Board of Education graciously furnished the entire choir with vest- ments, which help to bring out a feeling of reverence. The choir first appeared in Toledo, Ohio, broadcasting from station WSPD, in an hour given to each school which competed. The next concert, an hour pro- gram, was in our own High School Auditorium in which our numbers mostly consisted of sacred music. -Carolyn Kinnaman E3 ' The ofhcers elected this year are as follows: ,a T . , President .,... ..... x 'ifginia Hicks lx X Vice Presidenl. . . . .Raymond Yeager ' Secretary ...... ....

BOYS' GLEE CLUB The Fostoria High School Boys' Glee Club started out the year with over thirty voices, mostly inexperienced, and a new music supervisor, Mr. Wallace T. Fisher. In spite of these difficulties, the club proceeded to make splendid prog- ress under his able direction, combined with a fine cooperative spirit on the part of the fellows. Presently there resulted a well-balanced club of thirty-live voices: ten first tenors, seven second tenors, eleven first basses, and seven seconds. Beginning with simple one part music the club progressed-blending, harmonizing and sustaining tones, practicing sight-reading, phrasing, and technical routinesh until before long, they were singing numbers of a difficult nature, and producing very good musical effects. During the year the boys covered a large variety of interesting music. The club made several public appearances. They cooperated with other school vocal organizations in presenting the very impressive Christmas Operetta, The lVlagi's Gift . They sang over station WSPD on a program with other school musical organizations, one Saturday. In an outstanding event of the year, the Spring Concert, they took part by presenting three selectionsg Hunting Chorus, by Buccalossi, HOld Ark's A'lVloverin' , a Negro spiritual, and Lauda Anima, by Andrews. The club is indeed grateful to Don DeWitt for his accomplished ability as our accompanist. Don will be greatly missed next year, as will also Ralph Kwilus, Bob Losey, and Marshall Williams, the other seniors. However, the remaining members, thirty-two strong, will form a fine nucleus of experienced voices for next year's club, and with good material to be expected from this year's freshmen, an even more successful organization for 1936-1937 is anticipated. -Robert Shurnan President . ......... ............

GIRLS' GLEE CLUB The Girls' Glee Club, directed by Professor Wallace T. Fisher, is comprised of fifty-six of the school's most talented singers. lt specializes in three-part music for which there are sixteen first sopranos, twenty-three second sopranos and seventeen altos. The most important aims of the Girls' Glee are: to obtain a proper balance, blend, and unity of toneg to improve tone qualityg and to study songs whose qualities are of the type that develop an appreciation for the highest class of music. The quick response to singing that has been secured with these points in mind, combined with the rich, colorful, sostenuto tones of each section are ample proof that the desired objectives are rapidly being brought to a realization. The group's first appearance of the year was made over station WSPD in Toledo, last December. The selections which were presented beautifully at that time were Lullaby by lVlacCarthy, La Paloma by Yradier, and 'AOpen Our Eyes by MacFarlane. Perhaps the most outstanding event of the year in which the Club parti- cipated was the Spring Concert, held in the auditorium in May. At that time the girls sang compositions by Reutter, Lassen, and MacFarlane. Other notable performances were made at the Northwestern Ohio Choral Contest held in Bluffton in April, and at the local Commencement Exercises. An excellent spirit of cooperation prevailed in the club throughout the year. This, combined with an untiring effort and willingness to learn, resulted in the development of a very fine singing organization. +D0nna Clark President ......., ....

AMATEUR CONTEST For the first time in the history of the Fostoria High School an amateur contest was held, to inaugurate the annual subscription campaign under the auspices of the Red and Black Annual Staff. The program was broadcast over our newly installed radio system which made it possible for all students to remain in their respective home-rooms during the presentation, and listen to it as they might hear a program over their radio at home. The entire student body was eligible and was invited to take part in this new -to our school-and interesting type of program. An audition consisting of sixty tryouts was held and the ten best were selected by a chosen committee of the faculty. These ten winners were then given an opportunity to compete for first, second, and third prizes. The first prize was won by Don Estes, who sang a cowboy song convincingly. A popular duet sung by the Volkmer Sisters was acclaimed as the second prize winner. Raymond Yeager won the third prize by artistically singing a bass solo. These talented winners were chosen by a vote from each purchaser of the 1936 Red and Black Annual, and the prizes were cash credits toward the winner's own annual. The staff is very appreciative of the splendid cooperation shown by the faculty and students in presenting this novel program.

RED AND BLACK STAFF Again the time has arrived to publish a Red and Black Annual to show the students of Fostoria High School the extra curricular activities of the school. The senior class has made this record of the teachers and students in order to have classified accounts of the year's happenings for future use. Committees and staffs were chosen from the senior class at the beginning of the year. Practically everyone who wished to be on the annual staff was permitted to take part. We followed the traditional task of organization. The editor and assistant editor planned and supervised the making of the annual while the budget and financing of the book was in the hands of the business manager. The circulation manager was in charge of the success of the subscription campaigng although the responsibility for the sale of advertisements was dependent on the advertising manager. The duty of the literary editor was to collect and correct all the written material of the book. Seeing that all group and class pictures were taken was the responsibility of the photograph committee, while collecting snapshots of the students, teachers and activities was under the direction of the snap committee. The sport records were dependent on the boy and girl sports' representatives who recorded all activities in athletics. The typing staff was responsible for having the written material in final readiness for the printers. Miss Virginia Crawford and Mr. R. J. Hosler were the faculty advisors of the Red and Black Annual. Their excel- lent suggestions and concise directions made the annual TSE what it is today. The 1936 Annual is completed. If you like it, and we hope you do, the staff and committees feel that their work has not been done in vain. We await hopefully for your verdict. Is the 1935-36 Red and Black Annual up to your expectations? -Weldon Brooks -lg ffl , dj iii' f2?iT'i -15519 AND BLACK COMMITTEES Top row: Rachael Harris, Mildred Welsbacher, Betty Barchus, Beatrice Marshall, Anna Rose Arnold, Elinor Slick, Margaret Foster, Second row: Gertrude Miller, Joyce Gise, Martha Jackson, Kathryn Lewis, Betty Benson, Ima England, Dick Ward, Bollom row: Agnes Dinsmore.

RED AND BLACK COMMITTEES The success of the Red and Black Annual is made possible through the work of the staff and the various committees: Advertising, Circulation, Literary, Art, and Typing. Each group worked under the staff member who was their chairman. To the Literary Committee, working with Donald DeWitt, fell the duty of securing a suitable quotation for each graduate. They also obtained information from the faculty in regard to their colleges, degrees, subjects taught and clubs they advise. Their most important duty was the assigning to various students articles on the clubs and other activities of the high school. To Miss Virginia Crawford and Miss Mabel J. Bourquin of the faculty, the staff and committees offer their sincerest appreciation of the hours they have spent in reading and correcting the material that was submitted to them. The size of the circulation of 1936 year-book proves that Richard Fruth and his committee have done splendid work. Enthusiasm over the recently installed radio broadcasting system in the school, inspired the committee to stage an Amateur Hour as a means of opening the subscription campaign. The Advertising Committee, headed by Clarence Jacob, worked diligently securing advertisements. Through the unselhsh cooperation of our local merchants and townspeople, we have a large advertising section, Bill Hough and Don Bates, of the Art Committee were responsible for the many illustrations, designs, and cartoons throughout the annual. This committee was supervised by Mr. R. A. Sauerbrun of the Art Department. The Commercial Department has done its share in assembling the annual. The girls on the Typing Committee should be commended for their assistance in typing the literary material. The secret of our success was the cooperation that these committees have shown in functioning together to create the 1936 Red and Black year-book. - Virginia M anecke RED AND BLACK '36 :81 PAGE PAGE RED AND BLACK '36 RED AND BLACK JOURNAL Third row: Ralph Kwilus, Dick Carter, William Brand, Ray Birdwhistell, Don Bates, Second row: N ieta Shirk, Marceil Hade, Mary Drake, Betty Bonnell, Evelyn Feasel, Jean Henry, Beatrice Marshall, First row: Wilbur Dexter, Eileen England, Malinda Horn, Weldon Brooks, Opal Forbess, Mr. Knepper. J OURNALISM Back in the early 1920's the Red and Black was a literary magazine published four times a year. In 1923, renamed the Fohirab, it became a regulation size, four-page newspaper. When classes in journalism were introduced in 1924, the project of that year was the publishing of a mimeographed paper known as the Red and Black Journal. It was at this time also that the class began to run news columns in the two daily newspapers. Financial difficulties have made the journal publication an up-an-down business at times-first the paper was published with no advertising, then later a little was inserted: now the staff relies heavily on advertising for its support. Bill Ellis, with his original illustrations, acted as editor for the Journal in 1929. It was at this time that the school paper was again reestablished on a sound basis. Miss Isabel Hunt was Journalism instructor until 1934. It was then taken over by Mr. G. D. Knepper. The Co-editors for '35-'36 were VVeldon Brooks and Malinda Horn, assistant editors, Eileen England and Opal Forbess. This year's class was responsible for eight publications of which two were six-page, special issues: a Christmas issue and a senior issue. -Eileen Jane England THIS YEAR'S STAFF Business and Circulation Manager ...................,,.. .....

F.M.D Grinding gears and moaning motors added their noise to a thousand others to create a perfect scene of din and confusion in The Fostoria Pressed Steel Company. Yet two youthful minds freed themselves from this chaos and united in one purpose-to create and continue in the factory, city, and school a bond of friendship for themselves and a few friends, that together they might better themselves and their surroundings. Chink Wolfe and Virgil Myers in this way gave birth to a new idea destined to defy the destruction of the decades. When school began in the fall of 1919, our three founders U. Lloyd Mahoney had joined the second meeting held on the Lutheran Church lawnj presented their plan to the school authorities. Great things move slowlyg so did this plan until Miss McDermott attended a meeting. She left as adviser of the new F. M. D. Seventeen years have passed. F. M. D. is the only school activity that has stood the strain of time. Today it is the oldest, most outstanding, and most restrictive club in the high school. Seven members of the senior class are admitted each year if they possess high character, wide activity, and good scholastic standing. Seventeen years have not been time enough for the students to discover the meaning of the initials, F. M. D., although several have guessed and still are guessing. Service is the keynote of the club's success. All ushering in the school is done by its members, each of whom is an outstanding representative of several other activities of the school. One of the many services this year was to write and produce a modern comedy, Cu1'lyl0cks and the Three Bears, that was humorous enough to laugh the magazine campaign into a vigorous success. In the words of one of our founders, J. Lloyd Ma- honey, Director of the University of Pittsburgh, HF. M. D. is not a monument to the individuals who perhaps somewhat by accident conceived of its making, but rather it is a living testament to the spirit of comradeship through high ideals of clean living and wholesome thinking to be found in the better scholars in the senior classes in every high school. -'John Wade ,:89.: RED AND BLACK 36 PAGE -pq REID AIID BLACK 36 PAGE :90: +- + + D-EBATE Slanding: Bernard Kelbley, Richard Carter, Ray Birdwhistell, Junior Moore, George Gray, Robert Shuman, Art Cole, Sealed: Florence Walters, Eileen England, Wilbur Dexter, Carol Fruth, Jane Gray, Sydney White. DEBATE As the debate class of 1935-36 was much larger this year than in previous years, Mr. C. F. Leiter, the debate coach, was able to separate the students into first, second, and third teams. The question for debate this year was-Resolved: That the several states should enact legislation providing for a system of complete medical service available to all citizens at public expense. In charge of the negative team was VVilbur Dexter, with Art Cole, Eileen England, Robert Shuman, George Gray, Sidney VVhite and Jane Gray as col- leagues. In charge of the affirmative teams was Bernard Kelbley, with Carol Fruth, Ray Birdwhistell, Junior Moore, Dick Carter, and Florence Walters as colleagues. All debates were held under the two-man team system with ten minute constructive speeches and five minute rebuttal speeches. The affirmative teams based their arguments on: CID a need exists because there is a lack of medical care at present C21 Socialized medicine is desirable because it would help the poor and underprivileged, and C3D it would be practical. The negative based their arguments on Clj only a slight modification of the present system, namely, the group hospitalization plan, is necessary C25 socialized med- icine would lead to political corruption C35 it would cost too much, and CLD social- ized medicine has been a failure in other countries. -George Gray The debating schedule for this year includes: jan. 20 ,.... .......,..,....

DEATH TAKES A HOLIDAY Death took a holiday and thus made it possible for the Class of 1136 to bring its highly successful dramatic career to a close in a blaze of glory. This striking drama in three acts written by Alberto Casella and translated for the American stage by VValter Ferris owes its power to the haunting beauty of its unusual theme. It is in reality an allegory dealing with the death of a lovely girl but the true meaning is woven into this strange and appealing love story. His majesty, Death, decides to take a holiday of three days duration in order to find out why it is that men fear him and cling to life so eagerly. He believes that it is because of love and wishes to prove his theory by falling in love himself. For the setting of his little adventure he chooses the castle of one Duke Lambert, an Italian nobleman. He informs only the Duke of his intended visit and warns him, on pain of death, not to disclose his identity to any of the other guests visiting at the castle. Shortly thereafter he arrives in the person of Prince Sirki Vitalba Alexandri, a close friend of the Duke's. The other members of the party receive him gladly and without suspicion although they all confess to feeling uncomfortable in his presence. He begins his experiments with Rhoda, a handsome English girl, who utterly disappoints him by her failure to comprehend the significance of his words. Next he uses his charm on Aida, a beautiful, sophistocated widow who understands him better. But she too is a failure for when she discovers who he really is she turns from him in terror. At last he comes to Grazia, an etheral, lovely, child of eighteen. And in her he Hnds his dream as well as the answer to his question, for she understands him without fear and gladly follows him to the grave. The tenseness of the situation is relieved by the bizarre incidents brought about by Death's failure to perform his 0, A F 'T appointed tasks. -Betty Flechtner Q.,4 RED AND NIOR CLASS PLAY+ BLACK36 PAGE .91.

CHARLEY'S AUN T 'Tm Charley's aunt from Brazil, where the nuts come from, quoth Lord Fancort Babberly as he beamed coyly through the ruffles and lace of his ancient feminine attire. Lord Babberly had been cunningly coaxed by Charley and Jack, a friend of Charley's, to pose as Charley's aunt for their fiancees, Kitty Verdun and Amy Spettigue. The story moves along rapidly with old Mr. Spettigue, guardian of Kitty and Uncle of Amy, supposedly falling in love with Lord Fan- cort. In the midst of all this, who should appear on the scene but the real Charley's aunt whom he had never seen before, Donna Lucia D'Alvadorez, with her adopted niece, Ela Delahey. With Donna Lucia's unusually keen sense of humor, the story, with the aid of Sir Francis Chesney, father of Jack, ends happily and romantically. Charley's Aunt, directed by Mr. C. F. Leiter, and chosen as the all-school play this year, was in three actsg the first in Jack Chesney's rooms, Oxford, England, the second in the garden, and the third in the drawing room of Mr. Spettigue's home. The humor of Charley's Aunt brought many chuckles and smiles from a well-represented number of high school students and citizens of Fostoria, on November 22, 1935. The advertising was handled by Eileen England, while George Gray was stage manager. The prompters were Ruth Daub and Malinda Horn. Dick Luman, Lowell Stultz, and Robert Ball took care of the properties. -Jane Gray The cast was as follows: Jack Chesney ...... .........,...,.......,,...... .....

WITHIN THE LAW Lightsfsilence-and the curtain rose! The annual junior class play, VVithin the Law , a melodrama in four acts by Bayard Veiller, was successfully produced by five girls and fifteen boys of the class of 37 . The play is built around one incident. A quantity of goods, stolen from a department store, was later found in the locker and coat pocket of one of the women employees. The girl, Mary Turner, was unable to convince the court of law not court of justice of her innocence. Her boss, Mr. Gilder, using her as an example to the others, had her sent to prison for three years. VVhen she had served her sentence she was determined to get even with her boss who had so assuredly convicted her. In order to do this she 'fplayed up to his son Dick, who soon fell in love with her. As she was unable to get a job because of her past experience, she became a Hfinancieru, as she called herself. She swindled legally. Then one day she married her employer's son. Of course she made Dick promise to take her to see his father, who was unaware of the affair between his son and Mary. Later when Mary and Dick were caught by mistake with her gang stealing in Dick's house, Dick was accused and taken to jail. After much tricky speculation by the police, one of Mary's gang, Garson, confessed that he had planned the robbery, and Dick was freed. Mary admitted her love for Dick and the tense silence which greeted the cast at the opening of the show turned into approbation with great applause as the curtain closed, according to, and Within the Lawn. fRnth Daiib Sarah ........

OMICRON LAMBDA Omicron Lambda, the dramatic society of Fostoria High School, has suc- cessfully completed its seventh year of service. The purpose of its organization was to encourage better public speaking, and to promote further the study of drama, and the production of plays. After try-outs for new members, and the election of officers early in the fall, the club was ready for a new year. The officers and members of this year's group have striven to carry on the aim and design of the original organization. Under the guidance of our adviser, Mr. C. F. Leiter, and our president, Malinda Horn, a successful year of work has been completed. Our monthly meetings have proved to be interesting and entertaining as well as helpful in our study of drama. The production of several plays, namely: f'The Terrible Meek, by Charles Rann Kennedy, The Finger of God, by Percival VVilde, and No Sabe, by Elisha Cook, presented at these meetings, have given us a greater understanding of the theater and of the ancient art of Thespius. These plays were purchased through a fund provided by the club and were produced under the direction of Mr. Leiter and student directors. The action of the one-act play, f'The Terrible Meek, which was also pre- sented in assembly, takes place on Calvary. This play shows the relationship between the Old Roman Empire and the British Empire of today as to their ideas of Christ and the Crucifixion. In Percival lVilde's play, The Finger of God, a man who is about to lapse into the crime of his former years, is turned into an honest man by a mysterious girl who puts her complete trust in him. As the play is ended, as the f'Grand is drawn, as the house is darkened, we leave to our successors the empty stage, for ge them to till and light, and we wish them every measure of fi? success in doing so. -A rthiii' Cole ' President ......... . . .Malinda Horn Vice President. . . . . .Dick Deckard ' Secretary, . . . ....

FRE SHMAN PLAYERS' CLUB The Freshman Players Club this year was a very active and popular club with sixty-three members, under the direction of Mrs. Mildred Hutchinson, who, through her knowledge and experience, gave us much valuable advice and direction. Our club gave several plays during this year. Besides the many plays which we gave for our own entertainment, we gave 'tHe Almost Remembered for a junior high chapel program. When our advisor offered us a play, she gave us an opportunity to choose the part which we desired. This gave everybody a fair chance to have a part in a production. We also planned to enter the drama con- test at the VVomen's Club to see how we ranked with some of the older and larger dramatic clubs. Through all our activities ran a current of youthful enthusiasm which needed the guidance of our adviser. The members of Freshman Players came to realize the good training this club gave us in losing any self-consciousness we may have had. We were trained to forget ourselves and think of the characters we attempted to portray to our audience. Vile were given certain responsibilities which taught us how to take hold of obligations and carry them to success. As all the present members worked toward membership in Omicron Lambda, no doubt all the Freshman Players agree in saying that this club is a very inter- esting organization. Any eighth grade pupil who reads this should become a member next year. glean Saliers President ....... ....... J ack Zemer Vice President. . . . . Dorothy Wineland Secretary ....... .....

HI-Y To create, maintain, and extend throughout the school and community high standards of Christian Character. The Fostoria High School Hi-Y Club was organized in 1922 by eight boys of Fostoria High School. In the fourteen years of service to the high school, this organization has grown until its membership is now sixty fellows. A luncheon meeting is held every Wednesday noon with varied entertain- ment furnished for the boys. These programs consist of singing the Hi-Y songs and caring for business matters which are of importance to the club. In addition, the Hi-Y brings before its members speakers from our school and community, who discuss problems which affect adolescent boys. Activities carried out by the Hi-Y Club are many. This year for the first time the Hi-Y Club held a 'fmixer for all high school boys. In addition to this, the Hi-Y Club took care of pep meetings, the Thanksgiving Assembly, the Christ- mas toy collection, morning devotions with the Girl Reserves during Holy Week, and the State Hi-Y Conference Assembly. The Hi-Y Sweetheart Banquet is without doubt the outstanding social function of the Club. The Older Boys' State Conference in Tiffin, the district conference, also held in Tiffin, the Halloween party, and the Spring Outing at Camp Sandusky were also interesting f and enjoyable activities. 7 X 6 The high school principal, Mr. VVilliam Hawk and Mr. f 1 ' George Evans of the faculty, are the able advisers of the 'll organization. -Richard Fruth The Hi-Y Club's officers for 1935-1936 were: ' 'Q' President. .............................

W. C. A. whose triangular aims are Spirit, Mind, and Body. This year the club, under the supervision of Miss Isabel Hunt and Mrs. Mildred Davis, divided the 135 girls into five groups called triangles. The effica- cious leaders were: Rachael Harris, Betty Flechtner, Virginia Manecke, Betty Gene Neiman, and Margaret True. VVith each triangle responsible for specific duties, the club accomplished numerous projects: selling refreshments at the football and basketball games, packing baskets for the needy, directing hobby classes for the members, assisting with the Girls' Prom, caroling at Christmas to entertain the sick, collecting gifts for charity, editing a Girl Reserve Annual, and spo Daughters' Tea. The Town Council, composed of Mrs. Franklin Pennell, Chairmang Mrs. Helen Neiman, Mrs. Floyd Kinnaman, Mrs. Gordon Gray, and Mrs. W. M. Hawk, with the Dean of Girls as an ex-officio member, has also helped to make this year an auspicious one. President .......................,.............. Evelyn Myers Vice President . . . . . .

LAMBDA SIGMA What's this coming in here now? asked a puzzled new book on one of the shelves of the Fostoria High School Library. I thought our day was done at four o'clock, but now at seven we are being rudely disrupted by these chatting tongues. Ah, yes, wisely asserted its grizzled book neighbor. HI see you're not yet accustomed to these monthly Monday evening interruptions. These girls love books to such a degree that they find time to devote one hour here to a discussion of us. Isn't that flattering? f Q gYes, and not a bad idea, acquiesed the inquirer. But enlighten me further, rien . 'To be sure. I'm not an expert orator-my orations are all between the covers-but you'll excuse me. The name, Lambda Sigma, comes from two Greek letters standing for Literary Society . A group interested in literature organized the club in 1929 as a tribute to Miss Bourquin, choosing black and white for colors Csymbolic of ink and paperj, and the sweet pea as flower. Later, Lambda Sigma thrived from the original fifteen members to a lively group of thirty. The two faculty advisors, Miss Schulze and Miss Hess, as well as the officers, Betty Gene Neiman, Malinda Horn, Mary Drake, and Weldon Brooks, greatly assisted the club in making this year's activities successful. They seem quite formal tonight, responded the new book. Are they always that way? The older book chuckled heartily as it replied, No, not at all! You see, they also have a home meeting once a month and then so I was told by Walt Whitman after his Leaves of Grass was a visitor-the girls are less formal. There are also three parties a year-two when new members are admitted, and a Senior Party in May. 'lf-Xre only Juniors and Seniors represented in this energetic group? inquired the new book. UNO, answered the old book. 'fHere are six girls, some Sophomores and some juniors, who have just become members: Jane Gray, Florence Walters, Mary Crocker, Phyllis Guernsey, Carol Fruth, and Sidney White. eBetty Gene Neiman RED AND A-g-DUBON N-ITESAK + BLACKB6 Third row: Mr. Caldwell, John Orwig, Herbert Page, Jack Prudden, Richard Luman, Robert Kleinhen, Bruce Currie, Lowell Stultz, Ivan Chilcote, Ira Cadwallader, Jane Gray, Sydney White, Second row: Dick Carter, Robert Shuman, Max Flack, Robert Fruth, James Gray, Arthur Zuelzke, Rex Rinebold, Evelyn Feasel, Bernice Munger, Florence Walters, First row: George Gray, Charlotte Schultz, Phyllis Guernsey, Donna Fruth, Selma Wernick, Wilbur Dexter, Dorothy Wineland, jean Saliers, Mildred Spitler, Mary Cardwell, Jean Sayre, Marie Barnett, Carolyn Kinnaman. AUDUBON NITE SAK In November 1927 a group of junior and senior girls, interested in the out- of-doors, organized a Girls' Nature Club. They chose as their adviser, Miss Virginia Crawford, who very faithfully performed her duties in guiding the club toward rapid progress. Several years later Miss Mary Leasure, who was the assistant advisor at that time, received the complete sponsorship with Mr. O. K. Caldwell as her co-worker. In 1933 due to illness, Miss Leasure ceded the leader- ship to Mr. Caldwell, and the club has continued to prosper under his guidance ever since. The name of their organization, HAudubon Nitesak, was selected in accord- ance with the purpose and ideals of the society. John Audubon was a great naturalistg Nitesak is an Indian term signifying friend , During the year of 1935-36 we had many interesting club discussions and worthwhile experiments dealing with science and nature. This year we had as guest speaker, Mr. W. Nixon, instructor of science, who gave us his impression of the Relation Between Science and Religion . He explained how closely related the two really are and the possibility of God- existing where there is also science, ending with the emphatic statement that both God and science must exist. Our outstanding event of the year was the flower show which we conducted in the lobby of our high school building. Nearly one hundred students entered Howers, which were judged by Mrs. Roscoe Carle and Mrs. F. H. Warren of the Fostoria Woman's Club. Thanks to the stimulating leadership of Mr. A Caldwell, the meetings have been excellent examples of coherence and cooperation. -Mary Crocker President ....... ......... W ilbur B.

THE TRAFFIC PATROL The whistle blows, the semaphore turns, and the traffic moves on. What power! That little tin semaphore has the ability to drive away Death, who is lurking about the street corners. During this school year, with Mr. George Switzer and Captain Richard Fruth operating the signals at the Perry Street corners, assisted by Lieutenant Clarence jacob and Patrolmen Robert Kleinhen, Bruce Currie, and Ira Cadwalladerg with Captain Don Bates operating the signals at the Main Street corners, assisted by Lieutenant Edwin lVlasel, and Patrolmen Lowell Stultz and George Appel, we have avoided many probable accidents. The Traffic Patrol is advised by Mr. George Switzer, one of Fostoria High School's faithful janitors. To him we owe our deepest gratitude for helping the traffic boys willingly in all types of weather. During Septembertsunshine, December snows, February blizzards, and April showers, the Traffic Patrol carries on. We stood on duty at the corners all year to guide Fostoria High School students safely across the streets each day. All year the fine cooperation from most of the students and the drivers of Fostoria in obeying the signals, prevented accidents in the school vicinity. This year a new idea was developed at the Perry Street corner which aided considerably in the directing of student pedestrians at that bad crossing. A rope stretched by two of the patrolmen to hold the students back, was put into use particularly for the benefit of the smaller students who are in junior high school. The A. A. A. organized the Traffic Patrol several years ago in Fostoria, and for the last four years the F. M. D., which is a service club in our school, has sponsored this organization. Before this was taken over by the F. M. D. club, the Fostoria Boy Scouts had charge of the Traffic Patrol. Using the words of J. C. Furnas in his article, And Sudden Death, If you have the nerve to take chances, you ought to have the nerve to take the appropriate , care. -I ra Cadwallader -Zit, SQ --T1 -'f- - - f 7- Y --- LI-BRARY SCIENCE + + Slanding: Miss Scott, Elfrieda Rettig, Lucille Boday, Margaret Holcombe.

LIBRARY SCIENCE Our High School Library is like a city in that it is continually being enlarged and continually growing. This year we have added by purchase many new vol- umes including both reference books and fiction. Besides these we were fortunate enough to receive a number of donations. This year, with the assistance of the Manual Training Department, we were able to procure two new bookcases which are used exclusively for books classed under the heading of General VVorks. Under this heading we find encyclopedias, and a ready reference group of books. In order to become a student librarian a girl must have good character, a high scholastic rating, and she must be amiable. Our student librarians, selected from the upper classes of our high school, have truly proven themselves worthy of their positions. Librarians learn how to evaluate booksg how to shelve books, by means of the Dewey Decimal System of Classification, how to catalogue books, and how to check books in and out. They are also taught how to give reviews and annotations of books. . This year for the first time in the history of Fostoria High School Library, an inventory was taken. The student librarians, after checking and restamping all our books, thus giving an accurate itemization of the shelves, found that we have a total of 3420 books. According to statistics taken by the librarian there is an average weekly attendance of 1000 students. For a weekly period there is an average of 228 books checked in and out. Because of the excellent cooperation between Miss Hannah Scott, the librarian, and her assistants, the work this year has progressed remarkably well. The -Sgllflll student librarians have spent many long weary hours making the pamphlet file, with which all are acquainted.

HOME ECONOMICS CLUB The Fostoria Home Economics Club, under the supervision of the adviser, Miss Mary Gordon, has completed its second year as a member of the National Home Economics Association and the Ohio Home Economics Association. This membership entitled the club to attend the district convention in Toledo and the State convention in Columbus. The membership of the club this year was com- posed of fifty girls who were studying Home Economics or had taken at least one year of it previously. The purpose of the club was to develop worthy home members, to interest girls in the many fields of Home Economics, to train girls in leadership and responsibility, and to promote social contact. The club financed itself by holding candy sales at various entertainments throughout the year. The first outstanding event of the year was an enjoyable Christmas party in the form of a duck dinner followed by a program. Mrs. Mildred Davis addressed the club on The Art of Dressing Well at the January meeting. In February, Mrs. R. R. Hamann, a former Home Economics professor at Berea College, Berea, Kentucky, spoke to the club on Home Economics at Berea College . Another memorable event was the Findlay District Home Economics Meet- ing held at Findlay on March 14, 1936. The meeting was composed of Home Economics Departments of fifteen schools centered around Findlay. The main speakers on the program were Miss Enid Lunn, State Supervisor of Vocational Home Economics in Ohio, and Miss Elizabeth Boehr, head of the Home Eco- nomics Department at Bluffton College, Bluffton, Ohio. This was the first year that a meeting of this kind had been held. The purpose was two-fold: to develop further interest in Home Economics, and to build social contacts between the students of the Home Economics Departments of these schools. An interesting play given by a cast of Home Economics students and directed by Mrs. Davis was presented to the club at the April meeting. -Agnes Dinsmore Officers Q gig President ..... .... . . , ..... .........

The members were junior and senior boys, who were studying home economics. At the first meeting, officers were elected as follows: president, Walter Deerwester, vice-president, Wilburt Piper, secretary, Ralph Bennett, treasurer, Marion Decker, sergeant-at-arms, Edwin Masel. The club was ably assisted in its activities by Mrs. Mildred Davis and Miss Mary Gordon, the co-advisers. . The class itself, composed of forty-one boys, was divided into two sections, each section receiving its alternate three weeks period of instruction fromeither Miss Gordon or Mrs. Davis. Miss Gordon was responsible for making the boys into perfect cooks, and Mrs. Davis was given the task of making them into per- fect gentlemen and useful citizens. After finishing Miss Gordon's course, the boys were experienced cookie- cutters, pie-bakers, steak-broilers, and dish-washers. The halls surrounding the cooking room were constantly filled with appetizing odors of tasty foods, perhaps, this accounts for the fact that no class entertained so many visitors during the year as did the home economics class. There have been unconfirmed rumors about the discomfort of a few of the boys after consuming some of their delicious, self-prepared dishes. To Mrs. Davis fell the task of impressing on the minds of this group the importance of good manners, neat appearance, and the budgeting of time and money. This interesting side of the course was badly needed, and well utilized. Some of the valuable time was given to the teaching of those womanly arts- sewing, patching, pressing, and darning. f' A biscuit-baking demonstration was given by several 'N L of the boys under the supervision of Miss Gordon, before the Woman's Club. Later in the year, five of the boys, assisted by a few members of the Girls' Home Economics Club and directed by Mrs. Davis, presented a play, which explained the values of a course in home economics. -Junior M oore fl ff: 5 13 1. iff, JMC RED AND BLACK '36 fn ., PAGE j RED AND BLACK36 + + AccoUN'r1NG na: 104 Slanding: Betty Barchus, Carolanne Stcckg Silting: Evelyn Myers, Mr. Knepper, Ruth Munn. THE ACCOUNTING DEPARTMENT The Accounting Department was started January, 1929. The work is done by four girls under the supervision of Mr. G. D. Knepper. Their duties are to type checks, issue balance sheets at the end of each month for the Superintendent, Principal, each member of the Board of Education, and the Superintendent's secretary, Mrs. Mary Chamberlain. They also prepare special statements for the separate organizations when they are requested to do so, file all receipts and vouchers, do other special typing, make out the annual football and basketball reports, and keep an account of the transactions of the organizations and de- partments. Perhaps it would be interesting to know how these accounts are kept. When Mr. Knepper receives money from the treasurer of an organization, he makes out a receipt with a duplicate. He gives the treasurer the original and gives the Accounting Department the duplicate. From this is posted the amount of money to that account. Before the treasurer can take money from the account, he must have Mr. Hawk's signature. From these accounts the different reports are made. Most of the bills are paid by check, which are typed and then signed by Mr. Knepper and Mr. Hawk. One of the highest honors that can come to a bookkeeping student is to be selected as an accountant. To be chosen as an accountant the student must be dependable, careful, accurate, and willing to work. Also, she must have a pleasing personality, high grades in all her subjects, integrity, and a cheerful disposition. This last year the Accountants were Evelyn Myers, Ruth Munn, Carolanne Steck and Betty Barchus, who wish to say, 'fWe have enjoyed the work very much and thank Mr. Knepper for being so patient with us. -Betty Barchus W- RED AND OFFICE + NURSES + ATTENDANCE BLACK '36 l i l Standing: Jean Conklin, Virginia Maneeke, John Wade, Weldon Brooks, Carolyn Kinnamang Sealed: Martha Dwyer.

SCRIVENERS' CLUB On two Thursdays of each month a heroic little band of aspiring authors met in Room 214 after school. To air original productions of both verse and prose, but particularly verse, was our grim purpose. Thus we valorously carried on the tradition set three years ago when the Scriveners' Club was organized, under the supervision of Miss Mabel J. Bourquin. In order that the majority of the students may understand our procedure, I shall describe a typical meeting. Walking bravely to the reading stand-one at a time, seniors first-with our coats Hopping about us and a handful of flut- tering manuscript clenched in our nervous grasp, we tremblingly gave our futile attempts at greatness their premier rendition. Then, after sitting down again, how relieved, how proud we felt! We had claimed the attention of a real audienceg we had impressed them with our peculiar brain children. After an hour or so of this listening to and criticizing a varied and interesting assortment of our literary gems, we would quietly adjourn. To leave a permanent reminder of our work and an encouragement to future Scriveners, the club decided Cof course, it was Miss Bourquin's ideal to make a typewritten year book of our best writings. Carol Snodgrass, assisted by Donna Fruth, had the thankless job of collecting the ma- terial. In May, this volume of manuscript was bound and placed in the library for students to read and Wages nreTfeJ vmrers ,ef enjoyfor perhaps, merely read. In order to understand our club, one must know 2' its sponsor, Miss Mabel J. Bourquin, member and verse critic of the Toledo Writers' Club. Without the untiring assistance she has always given us, the Scriveners' Club would have been impossible. As one who has taught us to look through magic casementsf' she well deserves the highest praise we can give her.

AMERICAN HISTORY CLUB In 1933, Mr. C. D. LaRue, our senior history teacher, organized the History Club. Its purpose is to study phases of history not discussed in class. Every senior interested in learning more about his country and the events of the present day is eligible to membership. To open our first meeting this year, Mr. LaRue gave us a very enjoyable and picturesque talk about his trip East in 1934. At another meeting, Betty Carter told of her visit through New Englandg Raymond Birdwhistell, talking about Indians, showed a large collection of arrow heads, Indian knives, and other objects related to the subject. For our Armistice Day program, we sang war songs, after which our advisor told of his own experiences in the World War. At the February meeting, the members brought examples of songs, fiction, and poetry which grew out of the Civil War, and Mr. LaRue read The Perfect Tribute, by Andrews. One of the important projects of this year was a trip to Columbus on April 9, to visit places of historical and current interest. The large group who went enjoyed seeing the state capitol and office building, the Ohio State University Museum and other entertaining places. In order to gain knowledge of methods used in voting, and to make history class less monotonous, the club this year elected its officers by oflicial ballot. There were two parties: the Utopians and the Preantidisestablishmentarianists. The day after each party had held a convention to nominate its candidates, mimeographed ballots were marked during history class. Although there were about twice as many Utopians, all the officers elected were Preantidisestablish- mentarianists. They were john Wade, president: Betty Gene Neiman, vice president, Don Rager, secretary of state, Dora Volkmer, secretary of the treasury: Robert Thumann, secretary of warg Elinor Slick, secretary of laborg and Margaret True, secretary of the interior. -Joyce Gise PAGE 107 RED AND BLACK '36 PAGE NATIONAL HONOR SOCIETY.

NATIONAL HONOR SOCIETY The Fostoria Chapter of the National Honor Society is the baby of the high school organizations, yet it stands foremost today among the clubs open to any senior or junior. just before the close of the last school year C1934-355 our Prin- cipal, VX'm. Nl. Hawk, who had recognized the present need of an honorary organization to encourage and to reward excellence in the qualities most desirable in a student, presented a plan to the Student Council. With the cooperation of Mr. Hawk the council then proceeded to frame a constitution and secure a charter from the National Honor Society Headquarters in Vilashington, D. C. Anyone in the senior or junior classes possessing the qualities of character, service, scholarship and leadership is eligible and may be admitted by Vote of a faculty committee. Membership the first semester is restricted to five per cent of the senior class. In the second semester, an additional ten per cent of the senior class and five per cent of the junior class are admitted. Inasmuch as the club sponsors no activities or programs, membership is more honorary than active. The seniors entitled to join the National Honor Society the first semester were VVeldon Brooks, Donald DeVVitt, Richard Fruth, Evelyn Myers, Betty Gene Neiman, and john VVade. No organization was set up nor were any activ- ities promoted other than the encouragement of the fundamental qualities of which the coveted pin worn by the members is a reminder. This club represents the consummation of the desires of Mr. Hawk, the faculty, and the student body, especially the junior and senior classes. To have a branch of an organization of this kind in our school is a privilege not enjoyed everywhere. It is a mark of merit for a school to be well enough qualified to have a chapter of National Honor Society. To become a member of this nationally recognized society is to receive the greatest honor the school is able to bestow, equivalent to the possession of the Phi Beta Kappa key in a college. Our school certainly can feel proud of its new honorary club. -John Wade RED AND SCHOLARSHIP TEAMS BLACV36 SCHOLARSHIP TEAMS Knowledge is indeed that which next to virtue truly and essentially raises o11e man above another. -Addison. Every year the state of Ohio conducts competitive examinations to determine which of its high school students are superior in each of ten subjects. In our school two competitors and an alternate for each subject are chosen early in April. Until the tests are held at Bowling Green State University early in May, they study thoroughly their chosen subjects. As each student making one of the highest ten scores also contributes to his school's score, it is thus obvious that he competes for both school and personal honors. High-rating schools and high- rating students are awarded certificates from their districts, and if students are fortunate enough to carry off high honors in the state they also receive state certificates. Four classes of schools take part: parochial, city, exempted village, and country schools. Science, modern languages, English, Latin, mathematics, and history are the subjects in which the scholarship tests are given. . This year similar tests will be held at Tiffin, Ohio, April eighteenth in the commercial subjects: typing, bookkeeping and shorthand. --Carolyn Haines SCHOLARSHIP TEAMS Typing I ......,.,,.,...,....

MAGAZINE CAMPAIGN The annual magazine sale of Crowell publications started the second week in November and ran for a period of two weeks. The purpose of the campaign was to increase the radio fund to the extent that the new radio could be purchased with a sizeable down-payment. The Junior High, whose faculty leader was Mr. Stearns, competed against Senior High, whose leader was Mr. Knepper. Mr. Hosler was general manager of the contest. Of the total sales, which reached 3611.50, 3250.00 was gained for the radio system. The campaign was hotly contested by the two teams, and it was not until the last day of the contest that the Junior High was determined the winner, by the narrow margin of 39.50. Both teams deserve a great deal of praise for the splendid effort and industry shown. Along with the prizes offered for sales, and the beneficial salesmanship practice gained, each student was permitted to cast with his subscription, a vote for the most popular girl or boy in his division. Evelyn Myers was chosen Senior High's most popular girl, while Dick Fruth was chosen the most popular boy. junior High named jean Saliers their most popular girl and Billy Munsey their most popular boy. The Freshman class led in the total money collected, turning in the amount of 3162.253 Seniors were second with 312675, and the others as follows: Eighth grade, 394.753 Sophomores, 387.753 Juniors, 38450, and Seventh grade, 351.50. Evelyn Myers was high salesman, with a total of 320.75 collected, and fifteen subscriptions sold. Many of the other students did very commendable work. -Evelyn Derek -F ---v----gl RED AND BLACK '36 :111. li PAGE i RED AND BLACK36 THE YEAR AT PAGE 1112: Sept. Oct. N ov. Dec.
