ITHIN the mysteries of an unknown future there lies hidden the realization of a new High School, and it is to this realization that we most sin- cerely dedicate this volume. THE REFLECTOR Our Dream of the Future THE REFLECTOR 7 Short Argument in Favor of a New School 1 OU have heard and read the ideas of many people concerning the Nr- necessity of a new school building for Maumee. VVe can give you some Iirst hand information o11 the subject. 111 the present build- ing there are insufficient facilities for education and its side issues. Already the second and third grades have been forced to adopt the half-day session plan. Next year all the grades in the building will have to do the same. The High School is just as crowded, if not more so. Our Physics Lab- oratory can comt'ortably hold but six pupils at a time. Imagine studying in a room where thirty or more pupils are continually bustling about trying to find elbow room. Because we have no auditorium we can neither give entertain- me11ts, 11or hold social gatherings of any sort. In these disagreeable surround- ings do you blame any boy or girl for quitting school and starting to work? From another point of view. The building has been condemned as unsafe by the state authorities, several times. Not only is there great danger from fire, but from the wind storms which strike the old building with full force and shake it to its foundation stones. . 1 Then again, do you suppose that any self-respecting man is going to make his home in a place which does not offer the best advantages for the education of his children? Not in the least, and we may state further without exaggera- tion that many residents of Maumee contemplate a change of residence for the same reason, ' You who are ardent supporters of progress in Maumee, keep these things in mind. Do you not think that a fine new school house, such as is pictured upon the opposite page, would be the best possible advertisement for Maumee? You property owners who object so strenuously to paying any additional tax for schools, this school building will cost you just twenty cents on each thousand dollars' worth of property you possess. Is this not an insignificant sum to spend for your children 's education, let alone realize a profit of several hundred per cent from increased property valuation? , The school you see pictured upo11 the opposite page is modern and up to date in every way. It has an auditorium, gymnasium, there is ample study room, not only for the regular classical courses, but for manual training, domes- tic science and other practical studies. Students will be proud to go to such a school, and Maumee will once more be put. on the map as a real town. THINK IT OVER. THE REFLECTOR , D. R. RIFE.

So spake Shakespeare, that great writer of our high school literature, and with this idea in mind the members of the class of 1919 have always striven to fill their respective parts in life 's great drama, whether great or small, to the best of their ability. Youth has always been kind to the aged and it is for this reason, perhaps, that we, the decrepit old Seniors, are treated with good natured tolerance and respect. Four long years we have toiled faithfully to be a fitting example to the blissful, unsuspecting Freshmen and tried to impress the giddy Sopho- mores and loquacions Juniors with our calm ffl, dignifiedlhilj manner, all in vain. In looking back to that bright, eventful day in September, when we first entered as students those halls of learning new so dear to our memories, we wonder at the strangeness and timidity we displayed in our new surround- ings.. But readjustment was easy and we quickly adapted ourselves to the dif- ferent environment and unaccustomed methods of instruction. Our number was twenty-two, and almost immediately we began to acquire a reputation for being a talented, popular, a11d above all, a TALKATIVE class. The nickname we acquired then, That active bunch of live wires, has followed us all through our high school days, and of late it has come to be regarded rather as a compliment than otherwise. The first year passeds wiftly and happily, and is now buut a pleasant reminiscence. ' As Sophomores the class was duly organized, choosing green and gold as colors. Just at this time the literary work of the societies was at its height, and here as elsewhere our class proved itself a 'valuable asset. As for athletics, several of our girls were absolute necessities to the triumph of the blasket ball team, while our gridiron heroes, though they numbered but three, proved in- valuable to the success of the football eleven. But alas, 'l'mpus Fugit and before we knew it we were Juniors, with a really important task before us. The graduating class must be banqueted- and in a manner which would sustain the reputation we had gained as a sociable, clever group. So to defray the expenses a class benefit show was given at the Strand theatre, a11d this enabled us to entertain in a manner befitting the occasion. It was in this year also that the May Queen was chosen from our circle. Another year has passed and we are the SENIORS-the class of 1919. Throughout our entire course these words had held a peculiar significance for us, and they are no less dear to us now that they are a reality. The old twenty- two have downdled down, until now but fourteen remain. Our former classmates have all our good' wishes for every happiness and success in future life. Our difficulties have been few, our gains many, and now at Commencement time, we proudly raise the green and gold banner in victory. The days we spent in good old M. H. S. were happy, happy ones, filled with the pleasantest of recollections. Vile realize what she has done for us, the standards set by the previous classes are of high aim and purpose and we feel that the same is expected of the class of 1919. VVe want to justify her faith in us, and can do so only by striving to live up to the true spirit of our class motto--' ' Only a Commencement. ' ' THE REFLECTOR 19 -:::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::poc::::::poo Class Prophecy '19 First Annual Reunion Class of 1919 Maumee High School May 12 Nineteen twenty-nine Seven thirty o 'clock Maumee High School Building Domestic Science Hall John L. Meehan, Toastmaster ,,,-- 'a f' N if Y, but I was glad to receive this invitation, for I had looked forward ,Lag .' l to the time when l would return and meet again with the class of '19, l had been .head waitress at the Clam Shell Inn, at hos Magis Angeles, fklllillflllil, and although my work needed my attention 5 it seemed more im mortant to wo back to dear old Maumee. The l 5 next day I informed the proprietor that my cousin was ill and it would be abso- lutely necessary that I take the trip home immediately. At last I gained lllS consent a11d began to prepare for the long journey. Four days later l found myself at the station waiting for tl1e train to St. Louis. lt was a terribly long ride and l finally grew tired of eating, which was my favorite pastime. VVhile l was walking up and down the aisle I stumbled over an enormous foot which had been accidentally thrust in front of me. l looked up to recognize Earl Schnetzler. My, what a surprise. NVe sure did have a fine old chat. He told me that he owned a popcorn stand at a summer resort near Los Angeles. He was gradually gaining world fame and was about to build an addition to his business so that he could sell ice cream cones. VVe finally arrived in St, Louis, where we were to wait six hours between trains. VValking about the city we noticed a sign in a window reading Mlle. Smythe, Tonsorial Artist, Hair Dressing a Specialty. I do not know what made us enter, as there are so many Smiths in the world but we finally entered after elbowing our way through the great crowds which were continually coming and going. There stood Mabel, merely Hbossing the job and looking dignified. She seemed quite pleased to see us, but informed us that her business demanded her entire attention. The trip to Toledo was without incident and some jump. About noon the next day we boarded the Maumee Valley ear for home, There was no one 20 THE REFLECTOR V on the car that I recognized and it seemed hours before we finally arrived at Maumee. Just as I stepped from the car I met Margaret Clarke. She walked home with me and told me all about the doings in Maumee. She herself had been driving a taxi i11 competition with several other girls. This did not surprise me much as I had always known how cleverly Margaret could handle a car, The next day was the banquet and I could hardly wait until evening came to see the New High School and the members of the class of '19. Viihen at last I found myself surrounded by the old bunch, it really seemed a dream. Adeline Perrin was a reporter for the Advance-Era and had been doing some very dangerous work of late. This I had always known would happen to Adeline, for she always loved to go places and do things that all others were afraid to attempt. Marguerite Gates was giving aesthetic dancing in Toledo and had a wonderfully progressive class. Although she tried to be faithful to her class, her many admirers made it impossible for her to give it the proper amount of attention. Then there was John Meehan, a tall, dignified looking man who owned a hair pin factory in Canada, and would soon build another at Business Corners. Imogene informed us that she was a typist for her Dad, and since Harold Perrin had a share in the honey business she might as well get familiar with his work. I inquired about Hazel Zeller, and was told that she had left for a trip through Europe. Alone? I inquired. No in- deed, Shc had married Charles Ford, another old schoolmate. Dorothy Bettis, after losing her voice ini Grand Opera, had been playing opposite Eugene 0-'Brien on the screen. But where was Thelma? They said that after studying French for four years she had actually given up her high position as teacher at Vassar to learn to fly. Of course Thelma had always been interested in aviators for some unknown reason. They further informed me that she would make her first Hight the following day and that Roland Smith would accom- pany her in case there should be engine trouble. ' There was Mary Pore, as quiet as ever, and when she said that she was running for Mayor of Mushville, Tenn., I was greatly surprised. But before the banquet was over I found that she had overcome her former bashfulness and was quite a talker. Now where has Zelma been all this time? John said that after two years of pleading with her, she had gone, against his wishes, as a missionary to Africa. Finding the Class of '19 in the best of spirits and with their usual happy ways, the banquet was successfully over and we all re-turned ho-me, pleased to know how beautifully we had acquitted ourselves in the trials of life.

VVaite Literary Society organized this year with the fol- lowing officers: Harold Perrin-President Richard 'l'ryon--Vice President Julius Hrahier-Secretary-Treasurer It has become the custom ot' the literary society to hold a meeting' each Friday afternoon. A lll'Ug'I'21ll1 is presented, consisting' usually of debates and impromptu speeches concerning- subjects of the day. It was found very popu- lar to present a scene in court, the various attorneys, the jury and hizzoner, the judge, being' represented by students and members ot' the faculty. By try- ing such cases as divorce and chicken stealing, a great deal of amusement is provided. Another feature is the edition of the High School XVeakly Standard, by two of the boys. This paper, read at each meetingr, contains all the latest H, S. news and jokes, and on the whole is a very successful newspaper, if it does change hands onee a week. Public entertainments for the benefit of the societies have been impossible because of our cramped quarters and auditorium. This last is very modern tl870J, but canot seat all of the students, let alone interest the public. Handi- capped as we are, we still strive to keep up the spirit of the school and let the faithful citizens of Maumee know that we are still in town, The Society will lose three valuable members this year by graduation, but it is hoped that the number of Freshmen entering next year will more than make up the deficit.

Covers were laid for sixty. 'l'he Iligrh School Dramatic Club found no time this year in which to dis- play their talents, but they will be remembered by their success in the pre- sentation of Miss Fearless and t'ompany. 'l'he Morrison R. Waite and Athenian Literary Societies met in joint ses- sion on Friday afternoon, April 11. A well arranged program was presented, including' a debate upon XNOIIIPII 's Suffrage. Something new, a boys' quartctte. was immensely enjoyed. So you may see for yourself, that we have not been unoccupied in making hte social lite of our school a very enjoyable one as well as a benefit to the individual.

They made their debut before the public at a joint meeting of the literary societies. As this was something' entirely new, it made a decided hit. Al- though its musical efforts have hitherto been limited to impromptu concerts, given on the march for fear of bricks and old shoes, we hope that it may some day be a permanent feature of the lligrh School.

Football Every one will admit that the team of '17-'18 was a wonder. Vl'e played seven hard games and won them all. But the team of '18-'19, owing to insur- mountable obstacles, was a complete failure. After a poor start we were just showing promise of a second year of success, when the Hflllii came along and upset all our calculations. Basketball The years of '15-'16 saw the boys' team walloping everything in sight, and the girls playing excellent games. But. our basketball hall was transformed into a pool room, and because Maumee 's citizens do not takeienough interest in the affairs and needs ot her young people we have ben unable to do anything i11 this sport. Base Ball Although Maumee has usually formed a nine, we have never entered this sport with much enthusiasm, because of the short playing season. Track This is the only major sport remaining to us and we have entered it with the determination to excel. Maumee High has won the Annual County Track Meet on each occasion. Our athletes during the past years have been good enough to clash with any one in the state, and some have done so and won. This year is a different story. The old combination, which was so successful during the past years, has passed away and has not been replaced by new stars. This year's team is a good one, however, and with their abundance of school spirit should be able to uphold the illustrious name ot' Maumee High. Team is as follows: THE REFLECTOR 37 M, NU-Te .K UAL. - ,, . f T AT .,,f- f,1,s,g.. Af E DITORIALF ANNUAL BOARD Editor-in-t'hief .,,,,,A,,A,,,, . , ,,.,..., A,,, A,,A, E Q url XV.

D orothy Bettis As you look through this volume you may scott at our ideas as merely the enthusiasms olf youth. But please remember. that the world of business gains ist only impetus through sueh enthusiasins. That all branches of service, all phases of huinanity, have grained inueh ot the energy of youth. The 2lll12lZlIlgIllllllQ'l1PfUl'f' the world today is the striking: eonsisteney which the Bolshevilzi, Soeialists and other eeeentries are displaying: XVhen the world went to war in the interests ot' hunianity, they were the eonseientious objeetors, and l'VOIj'Wll0l'C' ranted about peaee at any priee. Now that the war has been fought and won, and normal huinan beings are trying to form a treaty for the lasting' peaee of the world. they are just as 0llOI'Q1't'l.C in their denunciation of peaee. They reinind us ol' llnele Si's aneient inule. The old llueas eounty eourt house, the hone of niueh eontention in the past. has finally given up the ghost, and is being razed to the ground. Now, perhaps the well meaning: sehool hoard will get down to brass taeks and de- vise some means whereby the beautiful school building' to which we have ded- ieated this volume may be realized. NVQ at least, hope that they will now turn their attention to this ideal. in order that the eoniingz' elasses may not be de- prived of what is due thein in a lligth School education. You hear so inueh about a peace treaty whieh will secure a lasting peace. VVe believe that nothing: short of the expeeted lIllll0lllllllII1, which is eertainly a great distance away. can provide that. One of the first laws ot' nature is that 38 THE REFLECTOR only the fittest shall survive. In all forms of animal life, from the lowest to the highest, is that continual struggle for life. Eternal peace between na- tions is improbable as peace between an lrishman and a Dutchman, Our advertising columns this year contain the advertisements of the pro- gressive business men of Maumee. We hope that you will take time to look over this list, and that our host of friends will patronize their respective places of business. The photographs of the various classes this year were taken by 0116 of Toledo's foremost photographers. Don 't they look like it? To the Girls' tllee Club and to all others who have assisted us in the pub- lication of this Annual, be extended a vote of thanks. An annual is a great invention. The class gets all the fame, The contractors get all the money, And the Board gets all the blame, Is the United States going to be swept by a reign of terror similar to those which are sweeping foreign countries? Are the many municipal officers going to let it grow in strength unheeded. or even be in sympathy with it? This sect of fanatics commonly designated as 4'Reds is not to be tolerated. And as one able man put it. we should not be preparing conferences to deal with them, but cemeteries. None but the most forceful methods can he able to cope with the situation. D. R. Rice, superintendent of Maumee Public Schools, after remaining four years in that capacity, is to take a position as Educational Director of the Y. M. C, A. at Fleveland. His host of friends in Maumee wish him all success in his 11cvv and important position, . WOMEN 'S SUFFRAGE If the women are given the vote, are the men to become their slaves, or merely put on an equal footing with them? To women's sufferage we give our unqualified support, but not to petticoat government. The majority of fair minded women have the right conception of what they want, but these fanatics who stand in front of the VVhite House and elsewhere are onlv disturbers, and delay only that much longer! the coming of that time when women shall have equal rights with men. , J V y X .ii X ,-..fw3E?32g4' f '.i- .W jg -V? 1 .1 , . - , 'P' J f J ' J.

May we hold his memory always in reverence. 'A' 40 THE REFLECTOR JVI. H. S. in the Great War' 'W' G+ V' A ANY of the former students who fought by our side on the football Q45 .'- i field and in the class-room have proven their abi ity in that game which was far more interesting than any we ever dreamed of When War was declared twenty-three students or former students 'mm' of Maumee High School donned either the khaki or the blue in their country's service. Of that number, at least thirteen saw service over- seas in France. One of that number will never return. Paul D. Cone, of the ambulance service, has made his supreme sacrifice on the field of battle. Lieut. H. D, Bailey, a former principal. after drilling machine gun com- panies in the mud of France. has been returned home. Another principal, H, R. Taubken, enlisted as a yoeman in the navy alld from all reports is still actively engaged. Frank Pore, of the Engineers, was in active service on various fronts and was in the great American drive in the Argonne sector, Lysle Griggs, another of the Engineers, is now in Germany driving truck for the official government cameraman. Ray Harper and Foster Carman enlisted early in the War, and have seen considerable service in the Canadian Army. Florent Renaux, Bud Pangrantz and Adonis Mathewson are in the Army of Occupation and are still carrying' on into Germany. Since the close of the war Camille Bette has been attending Paris Uni- versity of Engineering, and Lloyd VVechtel is at artillery school in St, Quentin, France. Marcy Pilliod of the Aero Corps won his gold service stripe in Scotland and Belgium, and flew over the captured German fleet as it sailed up the Firth of Forth. George Engle and Howard Rheinhalt trained in several southern camps and were on the eve of departure when the armistiee was signed. Roland Smith, former member of the class of '19, and star quarter back onthe M. H. S, football eleven. is still in the service in the U. S. Truman Perrin, VVayne Slater, Virgil Vifcaver, Fharles Campbell and VVil- liam Hoen served in the S. A. T, CT. QStudents' Army Training Corpsj, and have been discharged. THE REFLECTOR 41 MY EXPERIE CES MARCELL PILLIOIJ -cz:::::::::o::::::::::::::::: nz :oo::::Q::oo:::o:::::::::o:: ffl OT so very long ago three young men decided on a little pleasure Y trim to the unknown.

VVe left Maumee early on the morning of November 17, and well can I remember the feeling down deep within me, something that seemed to tell me, Look, grasp, but do not linger Surely we did look, illld with a feeling and keen foresight that led us to hold it dear to ourselves that we might see it again in future days. There were no bands to play, no bells to ring our farewell, nor were there any sweet girl graduates to weep over our ardor and yell. NVe were what the regular soldiers call Hjust a volunteer. November 18 saw us sworn into the Air Service of the Il. S. Regular Army. We then hung our hats on the same hook and put our shoes u11der the same bunks until we arrived at Kelly Concentration Camp at San Antonio, Texas.. A fewvdays later we were separated and found ourselves in different units of the Air Service. That afternoon was the last I saw of my pals until I arrived from overseas. It was at Kelly Field that our ways divided and from now on this tale must take its course, leading nearer, ever nearer to the battle front in Europe. Towards the end of November I was taken ill with pneumonia and next morning found myself in the Base Hospital in Fort Sam Houston. I was finally discharged and sent back to duty at Kelly Field. I arrived in camp at about two in the afternoon, just in time to face and go through a sand storm which lasted'for over twelve hours. I emerged from this looking verv much like a ground hog, but feeling good. VVhile I was experimenting with the dust of Kelly Field, the Army moved on and finally. when the 225th Aero Service Squadron was formed, 'I was one of its charter members. and that night slept on the soft side of the planet Earth. VVe trained at Kelly Field and while there formed a twenty-tive piece band, until we finally got under way for overseas duty. After a six-days' journey we arrived i11 New York Fity. passing through Houston. New Grleans, Montgomery, Baltimore, Vvashington, Philadelphia and Jersey Pity. NVe pulled into the Pennsvlvania station and found ourselves in the midst of greater New York. Out of the station and through the tubes under the East River into the sunlight of a golden spring day on Long Island. Here was the Mineola Flying Field, and here we were put into a regular bar- racks and supplied with spring beds and mattresses. Steam heat, hot and cold Water with all modern conveniences were ours during our four months' stay. During these months we saw a great deal of New York City. and many of the boys have walked down Fifth Avenue with hob-nailed boots and the 42 THE REFLECTOR ladies didn 't mind. New York has a fine spirit of hospitality and many of its people will live long in the hearts of the men who came into contact with them on their way to and from the fields of muddy France. It was here at Mineola that we received our final instructions in airplanes and motors, Many mechanics who are trained to the pink of perfection are needed to keep a flight squadron in flying condition. An airplane is an extremely delicate mechanism, and a trained mechanic will not lay a monkey wrench even on the wings, which do such comparatively heavy work in fiying. All told it takes many tiresome days to learn fully and accurately all about our winged eyes of the air. The me11 must be trained along special lines. A service squadron is com- posed of men of the following trades: Motor mechanics, gunners, instrument repair men, ship testers, chauffeurs and dispatchers. They must also be able to do minor operations in every one of these lines. For instance, many times have chauffeurs had to take down a plane and transport it safely, many miles to its hangar. All these things must be done and the men so trained as to be able to remedy all evils While still here in America. Any man with sufficient education is eligible for the examination for pilot, Ellld many of our best fiyers have risen from the ranks. Then one day as the boys came in from work, they read and re-read the bulletin that we were to go over there to do our bit, and then passed it on to their bunkics. We were hurriedly equipped and marched aboard one of Eng- land 's South American freighters. New York iCty piers were crowded tfhat afternoon, for while there we had made many friends, adn not a man in my company but had walked down to the gangplank with a fair young lady on his arm. VVhen all were on board a band struck up the national anthem. Men stopped on the decks and saluted at attention. On the dock they sang, and long after the music had ceased, the echoes came fioating back through the fog and rain. That day will never be forgotten. Covered by the heavy fog our ship remained at the dock over night, and next morning slipped out of New York harbor. The Statue of Liberty shone high and beautiful that morn- ing and seemed as if she was imparting to the hearts of men a courage and determination that mounted to the superhuman. Yes, if a man has no one else to fight and die for, he should but cast, his eyes to dear old Liberty. She will so thrill his heart that he will do anything if only he may see and be thrilled by her again. We joined a large number of other transports, and started across, con- voyed by a fast battle cruiser. We were assigned to berths on the diiereut decks and given a number and a place to get our grub. These bunks are only about two by six feet and don 't aiord any too much space. The second day out two of us were assigned as part of the crew to life boat number 1, reserved for the officers and always the last to leave the ship. The third night- boiler trouble developed and we put back to Halifax. alone. You know that hunted feeling which you experience when traveling alone at night The bright moon seemed to hold us under some phantom spell. Sleep was impossible and throughout the night the men remained on deck waiting and expecting the orders Live, those who can. After several days we entered the harbor of Halifax, past the scene of that great explosion which created such havoc and loss of life. Finally headed for the open sea again. The conditions aboard that ship were indescribable. About twenty-four hundred men were herded into the space THE REFLECTOR 43 below and the stench that arose was enough to make any one sick. We were eating the following rations: Breakfast, barley meal and coffeeg lunch, two pieces of hard tack with cheeseg dinner, one piece of bread, a small potato and a half-cooked piece of meat with peas. The last day began, bright and shiny. The old Atlantic had calmed down ovcr night and its surface was broken only by small ripples. Just before noon about thirty destroyers came rushing up to convoy us through the danger zone. Suddenly whistles began to blow and smoke emerge in great puffs from the fun- nels of every ship. Life boat sirens blew and the men began to form on deck, adjusting their life belts. Destroyers were cutting about, dropping depth bombs and the transports took their zig-zag course. A terrific explosion sounded on ou ' right and we had won our chance to live on. Fritzie had lost again. He had merely furnished a much needed diversion for thc men. The next evening we sailed up the Mersey river and disembarked at Liverpool. Thence to the American camp at Knotty Ash. During the next five days we marched into five different camps. At South Hampton we again entrained for Edinburgh. Scotland, and went into camp at Gullane Flying Field. England is a beautiful country and although its buildings are ancient and out of style, for pretty scenery it would be hard to surpass. Traveling over the country o11e sees the beautiful valleys under the process of cultivation, while high up on the forest capped hills, tower the ancient monuments of Feudalism. Even today it seems to us Americans that England is still in the Feudal age. Much of her land is still in the possession of the noble class. VVe visit the ancient city of Edinburgh. After following the rustic road from the camp for some distance you suddenly find yourself at the entrance of a broad city street. So many people are going to and fro that you find it almost. impossible to advance. Everybody is on foot at an easy pace and will stand to stare at any stranger. You glance to the left and see the post office. It is beautiful building and its Grecian style of architecture makes it none the less imposing. Nearby stands the Waverly Hotel and station, one of the few that are as well furnished on the inside as they are on the out. You are now on Princess street, and directly across from you stands Wellington's monument. To your right is Lee street, leading to the American Naval Hos-- pital and the Firth of Forth. This is one of the most crowded parts of the city. Looking directly down Princess street, upon the right you see an im- posing line of tall buildings. while upon the leftpthere is only the Waverly station. You advance. High above the city on the peak of a steep cliff stands the great and famous castle of Edinburgh, holding the memories of ancient Scotland. Scots will look at it and say Great and bonny Scotland. Today it is used as a barracks for Scotland 's own kilties, surnamed the laddies from hell by the Germans. Going back to your club you dream of fairy nations and a fairy people. You travel by train to the Firth, where lies the strength of Britain's Heet. Beyond, the bleak North Sea wails as though with the voices of a million men groaning for life and loved ones. Something twitches at your heart, true homesickness has you and you hurriedly retrace your steps. To bunk you go and quiet sleep claims you once more. A pal bunkie jerks at your blankets and jumps into his clothes. He feels that you might be sick and shakes you instead of throwing bed and all around over the floor. VVe got up that morn- ing to celebrate with the rest of the world, for the armistice has at last been 44 THEK REFLECTOR signed and soon it. will be home for ours. NVe packed up all of our equipment and hiked to the Liverpool dock and on board the liner Mauretania for home. The voyage home was made on one of the largest and fastest ocean steam- ships. For six days we sailed through some of the Atlantic's worst storms and highest seas. Only a comparatively small number of men were on board so the most of us occupied the first class staterooms and passed the time pleas- antly. We landed again in dear old New York and after a rousing welcome entrained for Camp Mills, Lo11g Island. Here they placed our clothes and the enclosed live stock in a steam stcrilizer, whence they emerged much wrinkled, but minus the live stock. After laying over for several weeks we were sent to Camp Sherman for our discharge. Today the men who fought i11 the world worst and hloodiest battles are back and glad to get hack. And in future days, when this war is old and the men who fought and won it are grey, with memories of the past with its high aims and ideals, they shall pass to the great beyond, feeling and knowing that they have fought and won that America and Americans might live.

Dear Uncle.:--I would like to come and stay with you, for no one treats me right down here. 'l'he other day I was playing with Towser and wanted to see him swim, so I threw him i11 the river. There were some goslings in the river and an old ga11der on the other side. Instead of 'I'owser's swimming right back to me, as he always had, that fool pup started straight for the goslings. I whistled and called and scolded but Towser wouldn't pay any attention. The ga11der steered straight for him and let off a. good deal of steam and finally felt the pup 's hide, whereupon Towser opened up his caliope. I tried to help the poor pup by elawin' up mud at the water's edge and throwing it at the gander. Ivhen Towser got his rudder into action, he turned and came straight towards me, full speed ahead. The gander trailed along behind keeping the ealiope going. As soon as the pup reached the shore l started to run, but Towser soon passed me. I could hear the blood-curdling hiss of the gander close behind me. Another flop and he took a nip at the seat of my pants. Wow! A fisherman heard my screams and came to my rescue. I didn't stick around to tell him my story or even to thank him, but when I reached a corn field I ventured to look back, and the blamed fool was sitting on the bank, holding his sides. Vile wandered about in the corn field for some time, looking back now a11d then, cautious like, toward the river. Finally we found a big green hall lying on the ground. It was entirely new to me, but I learned later that grown up people had long ago known about such things. We assumed that it was hollow, and started to find out what was inside of ilt. I was industriously pounding upon it with a stick, when Towser growled a11d barked and came close to me. I heard something coming. O, horrors! It was a big, strange man, a11d he was scowling a11d looking awful mad. He wanted to know what I was doing in his corn field, and said he would have my daddy switch me, and if I didn 't git and leave his punkins alone he would spank me right there. He was coming right at me, shaking his finger when he said those dreadful things. I began to howl, when the whole thing suddenly changed. Towser stuck his sharp teeth into that dreadful man 's leg, and he was kicking and trying to hit. Towser with a stick, and I was throwing clods at the horrid man, and screaming Let my dog alone! Ilet my dog alone! He smiled and chuckled to himself, as though it was all a funny joke. IVell, I don 't know how we finally got out of that corn field, but suddenly I remembered that ma had forbidden me going down to the river, so we started straight for home. Ma found out what had happened, and I--well, Towser will never know the price I paid for my experience that afternoon. From your little nephew, , , HAROLD PERRIN . Dir I E , I U Mala 46 THE REFLECTOR DOMESTIC TROUBLES ' ESTHER DART Ll D E Oh, I hate you, Jack Troublestone, and your name does not belie your character, either, sounded a sweet angry voice from the cute little bungalow opposite. But, Mary, you know you didn 't need it, answered a deep masculine voice But I did, Jack, you know I did. Really, I couldn't wear the same gown so many times and think of what Mrs. Truslow would have said. Oh, hang Mrs, Truslow! 'What is it to her what you wear? And, any- way, Mary, if you had to have a new gown, why not a cheaper one? Well, Mr. Miser, if you are so stingy with your money you may keep it and I 'll go home to mother. Before he could answer she rushed from the room with blazing eyes and slammed the door behind her. On the other side ot' the street, opposite the little bungalow, sat an old lady on .the porch of a large house. From her actions it was apparent that she had heard the dialogue, for she was excited and kept calling her grandchild by the name of Dora. Dora appeared in the doorway bright eyed and eager. What is it, grandmother? she asked anxiously. Are they quarreling again? This time a roguish twinkle appeared in her sparkling blue eyes. ' Yes, and it was about-I' began grandmother. A new gown, of course, laughed Dora gaily. That is Mary to the T. Why, grandmother, 1 never have seen anyone like that dear child. She has six bali dresses with shoes to match. Eight cloaks, not counting her summer ones. Four sets of furs and a nice bungalow and still wanting more, and she heaved a heavy sigh. But, dear child, she isf- grandmother began again. Going to leave and come home, she gurgled, What fun! l'll' go over and help her packf' - But dear, grandmother tried to remonstrate. She has packed so many times, interrupted Dora, that I believe I'll help her. 'With that she was off the porch and half way across the street when her grandmother gathered up her scattered Wits and called to her. But Dora bent upon her destination hurried on. She stopped on the threshold of the bungalow, mischief showing every- where and stifled a laugh. She bounded through the doorway and into some- thing that took her breath. Falling back into a chair she gasped: Goodness, is that you, Jack? Are you ill? You look like a ghost. Are you-are you dead? . THE REFLECTOR 47 At that he laughed a little strainedly perhaps, but still Dora told herself it was a laugh. H1 think I a malive, but I wouldn't mind if I wasn't, but you may pinch me and see if yo11 likef' She moved forward in a quick, lithe move and pinched his atm. As she did so she shouted wickedly. t'Domestic troubles I Ile started, tl1e11 laughed, this time a real laugh. Ullora, you're a wonder. How did you know? t'By keeping my sensitive ears open 4'You mean you heard us clear over there, you wicked child? At this she sat up and stared. Heard you clear over there! Why, Jack, I'll bet Mrs. Truslow heard you clear out on her farm. , Dora l he cried incredulously. What about a farm? came from the open doorway. Oh, is that you Dora? t'Yes, I was just telling Jack that Mrs. Truslow is staying on her farm now and isn't expected to live in town again. 4'NVhat-, Mrs. Truslow, the well known-l' Mary began. t'Yes, continued Dora wickedly, Mrs. Truslow, the well known domes- tic trouble maker. Doral You know then? 'LWhy, of course-, she said. 'fWe live right across the street. 'tYou don 't mean you heard? Heard'? What? Oh, yes, of course, you know you're nothing but a screech owl, Mary, and Jack has a bear 's voice. I Dora, they both said in reproach. W'ell, anyw-ay, I meant in Domestic Troubles. Dora, will you ever- Mary began. No, I do11 't think I will, she said, but I think l'll go home. Good-bye, and here's to the wings ot' your troubles. She walked out of the room, stopped on the threshold and heard Mary start to say: Jack, I ,ll never again- But with a look of utter disgust she stopped her ears and started across the street, ' HIS she going, dear, and what time will she start? asked the anxious grandmother. I think they will start for the opera at about seven. So saying she sighed and sat down on the porch. She sighed a while then sighed some more and yet still sighing she got up and started into the house, but before she went in she looked across the street at the dark bungalow and said with a happy gurgle: ' Goodnight, Domestic Troubles. 48 THE REFLECTOR a THE ALUMNI s ' -:::pooo4::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::: ----A---- By PETER M. RAGAN :------v- - x iw I T was certainly a great satisfaction to the organizers of the Maumee .icfffi High School Alumni to have its members respond to the call in l such a manner as they did at the banquet on May 31, 1918. With ,4llay, i K, t . K .W all the activities of war, it was a matter of some concern for a time 1 - as to whether it would be possible to hold a meeting worth the while. But with the hope that our school days had consecrated themselves into our lives to a depth that could not be disturbed, a call was made and was a great success, Space will not permit us to make individual mention of all of those who did excellent work on the various committees, but as a whole they certainly deserve mention for the harmony and completeness ot their work. The event took place in the Masonic Auditorium. All that need be said to the credit ot' the table service is, that the ladies ofthe Methodist church were in charge. At the appointed time Toastmaster Frank Geer, in his usual happy manner, called upon President. Peter M. Ragan for a few words of greeting. Then followed the regular program of toasts and music. Mrs. H. P, Bamtord reviewed briefly the work of the Red Cross. Superin- tendeiit Rice spoke concerning the affairs of the school, and John Ormond, representing the Board of Education, gave a pleasing talk, dwelling especially on the old school days. The musical part of the program, consisting of selec- tions by the orchestra and a vocal solo by ,Miss Blanche Farnsworth, was well rendered and greatly appreciated. The class of 1918 were welcomed to membership by Toastmaster Geer, and an able response was made in their behalf by its president, Fred Schutt, Then followed the reading of letters and messages from the boys overseas. As they were being read all present, in reverent silence, voted the boys first place on the program. VVe were set to thinking. What a shame it would have been for us to have acted upon our first impulses, and not to have met, to listen to their expressions of loyalty and good will to us. While we were wavering and debating they, with all manner of danger before them, were trusting and working. Nothing could have instilled into our minds a more resolute desire to perpetuate the existence ot' the Alumni than the greetings from our soldier boys. At the close of the banquet the business meeting took place. After the reports of the secretaries were read and approved the officers were elected for the following year: President ...................... .............. P eter M. Ragan Vice-President ................... ........ N Irs. H. P. Bamford Recording Secretary ........... ......... . .. ..............

Miss Rilla Hull The meeting closed with a vote of thanks to the Masons and the ladies of the Methodist church for their good will and assistance.

She was finally hauled off by the heroic Julius Brahier. Mr. Rice is still suf- fering from the shock. The motive of the assault is unknown. Harold Perrin, the devoted husband, has created great scandal in Maumee society. The other day, while going to Toledo on the car, he suddenly became seated in Miss Marion Glann's lap. Harold has tried to explain. Vincent Boellner, the well-known scientist, has discovered a new method of eating mac- aroni. He uses his fingers. Joe Gribben calls himself a human dy- namo. Quite right. He charges everything. Mr. J. Brahier had the pleasure of eating candy in school and making those about him hungry. The candy was presented to him by Miss Margaret Clarke. John Meehan has been found guilty .of killing time. Judge Ailes has sentenced him to twenty days without Adeline. A woman tells fairy stories to her chil- dren to quiet them. Mr. Ailes says that a man tells fairy stories to his wife for the same reason. Thelma Sheperd started for heaven the other day, and was given a piece of chalk. She was told to place a mark on the rungs of the ladder for each of her sins. Half way up she met Frances Desmond coming back for more chalk. John Meehan says that he is so bright that he is the sun's only rival. While Mr. Ailes was looking over some of his ancient books he found that Queen Eliz- abeth kept her throne by cultivating the art of fiirting. Some statesmanship.

Marguerite: Did the fisherman who stopped here this morning have froglegs? Katie: Shure, I dunno-he wore pants. Virginia Hull: I expect to get rich this year. I'm going to start a doughnut fac- tory. Zelma: How do you expect to get rich on that? Virginia: Make the holes bigger. Zelma: You poor fish, don't you know you will have to make more dough to go around the holes?

Marion Greenlese: I think it's more proper for a boy to kiss me on the forehead than on the lips. - Allen: I don't think so. I got a 'bang' in the mouth the last time I tried it. She laid the still white form beside that which had gone before: no sob, no sigh forced its way from her heart, throbbing as though it would burst. Suddenly a cry rent the stillness of the place. A singular heart- breaking shriekg then silence, another cry: more silence: then all is silent, but for a gut- tural murmur, which seemed to wel-l up from her very soul. She left the place. ,She will lay another egg tomorrow. Irma Stonebrook: Girls, don't run so fast. I can't keep up with you. Margaret Clarke: Why don't you lie down and roll? 56 THE REFLECTOR EVENING GOSSIP. Charles Mason was known to buy two tickets for the senior play March 25. We are still suspicious of him. Richard Kasmaier is thinking of renting the big front window of McGovern's garage so as to attract the attention of Lucile Schnetzler when she passes on her way to school. Thelma Zeller's and Thelma Sheperd's hair is returning to its natural color, due to the fact that the government has forbidden the sale of henna, which is used in the manu- facture of explosives. It is rumored that if a pipe was stretched from Lake Erie to Maumee, and Marguerite Gates was as good a sucker as she is a blower, she would have the lake beside her in ten minutes. One day, while trying to practice a few lessons in economy, Juhus Brahier broke a dollar pair of suspenders trying to pick up two cents. Miss Marie Brahier claims that a kiss without a moustache is like bread without butter. Thelma Sheperd is thinking seriously of carrying a small umbrella with her con- stantly. She deems it best to have some protection when talking with Thelma Zeller, as she has a sufficient number of rust spots on her benign countenance already. Dick Tryon says that of all his wife's re- lations, he likes himself the best. Wanted-Girls wanted to sew on buttons on the fourth door. Experience not abso- lutely necessary but must be able to make fair shirt tail fasteners for school teachers. Margaret Clarke was attacked by rattle- snakes one day this spring, and frightened themqawav by Haunting her flaming red skirt. Why didn't Eve think of that? John: I will be your Valentine. Adeline: I was in hopes I wouldn't get any comics this year. The death notice caused much excitement in this vicinity when Mary Pore departed this life for Heaven at 3:30. Four hours later great excitement took place in heaven. Mary had not yet arrived. It is said she probably has friends in both places. Mr. Ailes Cin science classjz Esther, name one of the most vicious animals in the earth. Esther: A worm. Mr. Ailes: Very good. Now, Franklin, you name another one. Franklin Smith: Another worm. Mr. Griggs looked in vain for his umbrella one morning. I suppose Harold took it, ventured little Florence. Why, sister, how can you say that? asked Imogene. Well, when he was leaving last night I heard him say, 'I'll steal just one.' 'f Esther Dart: I'm sure Franklin loves me, for I heard his heart beat last night.

Thy shape's a thing of beauty without peer, Thy juice found everywhere, from ear to ear.

The Bolsheviki, like the Maumee river, are harmless if they have plenty of overflow at the mouth. Stranger: My, what a destructive dog you have, sonny! He must have German blood in him ? Gordon Hull: No-but he would have if he could find a German. Fernande P.: Then I am the only girl you ever loved? Richard K.: No, dear, but I am harder to suit than I used to be. Allen: Is your wife taking singing les- sons, Doc? Earl: Yes, but you didn't think that I was beating her, did you? Education Yes, sir, the cauliflower is only a cabbage with a college education. Well, then, a cootie is an ordinary louse with a military training. Declension of the word kiss, according to the Senior Class: Kiss is a noun, both common and proper. not at all singular, and agrees with you and I.
