B., UNIVERSITY or CHICAGO VVhen we are summing up the suc- cessful efforts of our Senior Class of 1931, there is one man whom we must not forget. This one is none other than R. W. Solomon, who has guided our destinies throughout our entire school career by his keen understanding and sympathy with our plans. Middletown High School has made a name for itself largely through the cooperation and execu- tive ability of this man to whom we do express oursincerest appreciation at this time. li. A., IImn1-:1,m-:I:r:,- M. A., Onio STATE Efficient, sagacious, alert: the man upon whose shoulders rest the re- sponsibilities of M. H. S.-our own Mr. Miller. Besides qualifying so splendidly as a principal, Mr. Miller holds the honor of being one of Mid- dletown's best public speakers, and is a man known throughout the Miami Valley for his high ideals and leadership. For four years he has guided us Seniors down the straight, narrow road of our high school careers, and for this, we. the class of 1931, wish to express our most sin- cere gratitude. -..--'--i ,fp il' FACULTY QQ?

We need not go far to find such an example in our own Mr. Valentine, who by his whole-hearted cooperation and in- dustry, has endeared himself in the hearts of us Seniors. Though he constantly remained in the back- ground, his untiring effort at the Senior Prom greatly added to its success. Thus we do desire at this time to express our appreciation to our friend and adviser, Forest Val- entine. l RICHARD HAYES, President To our president, quiet Dick Hayes, He's successful in all he assays: At the Y and at school He's unruflied and cool, He's accomplished in various ways.

For four years this most illustrious class of Seniors has tarried, so to speak, in this splendid institution of learning. Upward and onward have we striven to gain the chosen honors of this school. Through our most outstanding abilities we have proven successful in our debates, sports, and scholarship contests. Here in an environment conducive to study we have taken on new zeal, now that it is our last few months of school, and have striven for higher planes. Witli the help of ever-ready guides the termination is at hand. Four years ago we formed the foundation for our carrers, and through trials, labors, and toils, we are about to earn our priceless scroll-the diploma. It has been with a great deal of pleasure that we looked forward to the night of June llth, when, with diplomas in hand, we might leave this building forever. However, as the time draws nearer, our hearts are touched with sadness, and as the immortal Riley has said, we must say Farewell, a word which must be and hath been A word which makes us linger, yet i F arewellf' K t ' is 1 Page Fifty-one wurgw, f . so Last Will and Testament We, the Senior class of 1931 of Middletown High School, being of full credentials and of sound and disposing mind and memory, do make, publish, and declare the follow- ing to be our last will and testament, hereby revoking all wills heretofore made by us.

It is a wonderful day, the skies are blue as California's bluest. It is more like a day for a May -but look who's here, coming up on my right into the BB box-no other than Ross Snyder, Kay Miley's defense lawyer. You know Kay, who went to M. H. S. back in old 1931, is making a big hit in Country Lass. In Mr. Snyder's party are: Mrs. Snyder fnee Helen Brosiusj, Jim Lawrence ish! he's the big Popcorn King from Chicagoj, Mrs. Lawrence Knee Dot Reinerl, and who's that over there in that snappy sport ensemble?-oh yeah, Mildred Nitterhouse, who's a member of a talkie ballet. Ladies and gentlemen, may I present Mlle. Becker, prima donna of the La Scala Opera. She's just returned from a concert tour of Europe. Miss Valda Wilkerson, famous teacher of piano was on the same boat. By the way, she's just completed her latest composition, Elegy in G Major. Her secretary, La Verne Balser, is accompanying her. Over in box GG, Louis Schmidt, naval commander, is anxiously waiting to see his old pal, Bob Getter, play the game of his life with the Irish. Holiding out the rest of the box is that Hollywood famous trio, the Bachelor Three-Bob Vought, Bill Long, and Bill Matthews, directors in talking pictures. Among the spectators we can see Dr. Weikal, and his practicing partner, Jack Byrum. Since the oflicers of the Doctor's Organization fboth Medical and Dentalj are attending the game in a body, Drs. Greer, Draut, Kesling, and Kimble are in attendance. We have with us some more ardent football fans in the persons of Dorothy Rada- baugh, Dorothy Love, Margaret Upton, Bertha Watson and Estelle Lowe, who try to remain awake while on duty at St. Margaret's Hospital, and nurse the sick to life and the live ones to death. Murray Jacobs, Sam Sennet, Floyd Cline and Everett Brehany are chemists in the Hollywood Dye Company located in New York. Ah! Ladies and gentlemen, now is the time! The football boys are running out upon the greensward- Chow long will it be that way?J and would you look who's in the lineup? The University of Southern California's eleven are from what I can see: Bob Jones, wholeback, Paul Wolfe, tackling dummy, Chet Wendt, drawback, Jim Sparks, two-thirds back, Ova Kash, left center, Joe Ritter, first base, Ralph Buehl, forward, Bud Woods, bench warmer, Neil Enright, substitute flying tackle, Barney Evans, one and a half back. How's that, everybody? It sounds like Notre Dame is going to have a tough time. Coach Hamm has certainly stepped into Rockne's place nicely. The game's started. Gosh, look at that run. Block that guy, Getter! . . . There goes the whistle for the half. Boy, didn't that one slip by! Well, let's look around again. There's a group from the Albertina Rasch ballet playing at Grauman's Chinese Theatre over there, enjoying the game at the expense of Mr. Homer Boxwell, manager of the troupe. Among those featured in the cast are: Kathryn and Roberta Franks, the doubletrotters, Fannie Bracken, the flying Dutchman, Virginia Wilson, the originator of the baby rattle, Betty Finkleman, the dancer of the new elephantino, Evelyn Colvin, originator of the snake dance, Ralph and Raymond Hovel, internatinally known singers, Evelyn Davis and Ruby Catching, the twin gallopers. At present Mr. and Mrs. E. Young Knee Pix Millerj are making a fashionable entrance Qin other words-latej with a great crowd of guests. Guess El must have cleaned up on Wall Street, for in his party are: Charles Van Horn, a big stock-broker with a future, Sam Blumberg, who holds Wall Street in his hands, Evelyn Pierce, secretary to Mr. Blumberg, and Mary C. Nickell, secretary for Mr. Van Horn. They must be hot for they are being mobbed by Wales Blood, representative of Coca-Cola, Milford Pendleton, auctioning away popcorn, and Chris Politz, with his famous candy bars, Cotton Slugs. Even the circus is becoming in a small way intere ted in football, as members of the Richardson-Riddle Circus are here today. Among them are Ray Schrock, world famous juggler, and Vera Sharits, tight rope walker. There's a swanky side-show act too, 'VF I including: Messrs. Thomas, Lee, Cooper, Pleasant, White and Glover, featuring the Pleasant-Thomas acts of manly strength. Here comes the band down the field, resplendent in blue and pink. Their drum major is really strutting-well, would you look who it is! Charles Hansel, that Middle- town boy, is leading the mob. Bill Forkner, king of the brass taps, Mark Kerschbaum, writer of the popular song, Liquid Notes , Bob Patton, cornet teacher, Luther Morri- son, all-American French horn adviser, and Frizell Myers, inventor of an old eliminating puffy cheeks in cornet playing, are among those wearing the chosen colors. The band is down at the other end of the field, so we can pay more attention to the other celebrities that are rubbing shoulders with us. Bob Crawford, maestro of the jazz that everyone from Junior to Grandpop likes, is here with his fellow syncopators: John Montgomery, Harold Greenfield, and Don Guthrie. Their wives stayed at home playing some of their hubbies' latest records. Athletics is represented in more ways than one, for example, Marion Kiester brought some of her clients: Helen Seibert, the champion tumbler, Ernestine Early, the high jumper, Silver Belle Gehm, holding the record as international rope skipping champion, Racheletta Wilhide, Olive Smith and Louella Follmer, champion skippers. Marion is a gym instructress in a local Y. W. C. A. in Hollywood and little Melba DuVall is her partner in agony. You remember Ruth Etting way back in 1931? Well, we have a new Broadway hit in our midst. She's here on a vacation. You know who she is without my telling you -Virginia Hilling! Some of her cast are here, too. Geraldine Raines, the brunette lead, Kenneth Halsey, the handsome, dashing hero, Marie Hasselbach, LeRoy Wagner, and Harold Hogge, the juvenile leads, are those that are getting what we Californians call a real sun burn. Speaking of theatrical folk, Wanda Roberts, premier danseuse, is gracing a box. The art colony would have to have someone represented here! Geraldine Anderson, Mildred Bloch, and Ed Portsmouth rate a picture or two once in a while, and at present they're delving in columnistic art in the volcanoes of Peru. You've probably heard the Threesome who broadcast menus from KFI every morning at 6:30. Well, they are off stage so to speak: Ruth Liesenhoff, Doris Kemp, and Mary Sutphin. It doesn't seem long since they were burning fudge in M. H. S., does it? There's Crist Rigas, slinking along after some blonde. He must be a detective. Bob Shane is the other half of the agency. Ruth Stern books the cases, and in her spare moments emotes on a Hollywood stage. Since next year the Olympics are to be held in San Francisco, the girls who are entering in the events are here already, and we can see that Ruth Crocker, slow runner, Dot Brehany, low jumper, Daisy Brown, skipper, Rebecca Morris, biscuit Hinger, Vonda Savage, lead in the blind man's buff game, Emily Schaerges, Roxie Stamper, and Esther McGraw, three-legged racers, are Middletown's representatives on the field of honor. Their trainers Qhere's where the boys get an inningj are: Al Leak, Alpheus Johns, Francis Jennens, Henry Dennis, and Charles Imfield. The coach over them all is Delmar Elam, who thinks and is sure fin factj that he's going to produce a winner. Business is swell now, and Elsie Campbell, the chief, Eleanor Crist, her assistant, and Mildred Gibbons, the assistant's assistant, prove it by attending the game in a body. I suppose you've heard how successful the corporation of Lamphier, Fisher, and Fisher is, what with dealing in a big way in foreign trade besides brushing up on their Spanish. They're here, too, today and cheering so loudly that their companions fsecre- taries I believej , Ada Faulkner, head of the onion shipping department, Kathryn Fiscus, gangplank foreman, Ruth Phillips, Betty Smith, Dorothy Kramer, Sarah Morris, and Viola Bullard are raising the white flag of truce. The Three D's of Broadway fame: Rose Dennis, Rose J . Dennis, and Dot Dagen- bach, are here in person giving the crowds a treat. f its ,..-I Page Fifty-seven is r i..,:f-r - nfnwc-4p.j55:wt1sEaatzfa.':x :5:'.'- - --.9-5 ' . 1-1,.-',: . 4- . 1' X I Y x ' Q FK tx. I see Mary Ellen Congdon over there talking with Faye Charles. You know Mary Ellen has just finished her latest book on Prohibition in School Politics. Faye, too, is a promising authoress with ten volumes of Child Welfare to her credit. In the same group are Matilda Bruck, Lucille Dennis, Mildred Carr, and Anne Huffman, who are all social secretaries to Hollywood's comedians. Boy, would you look at the plane that just swooped down over the field. It's Bob Litsch and Ruth Schneider, who show the crowds how it feels to be human birds. Bob's manager is Myra Harpring, and Ruth's is Jack Hogan. There goes the whistle for time out. In the meantime we'll be addressed by Bob Raine, international swimmer, who won the water races at LeSourdsville Lake, Ohio. Thank you, Mr. Raine, you folks might be interested to know that Mr . 'Raine Knee Bee Seiboldl is here with us this bright afternoon. You know there's nothing like coming in late. It's the third quarter and yet here comes a party of girls who have organized a Christian Temperance League. Betty Lickert, Head of Temperance in Eating Dept., Beulah Long, Head of Temperance in Sleeping Dept., Mary McCoy, Temperance in Smoking, Oveda McKee and Eulah Moore, Heads of Religious Education for downtrodden individuals, are those involved, and their director is Andy Mehl. Way down at the end of the stadium, by the use of binoculars, I can make out another bunch of brokers that are enjoying a day off. They are as follows: Wilbert McIntosh, head of Amalgamated Paper Roofing Company, Homer Wills, head of Bethlehem Tin and Celluloid Collars, John Murphy, Lloyd Smith, and Lloyd Sticklen, heads of Southern Pacific Austin Truck Corporation. Bill Bunnell and Gene Schul have taken up boxing in a big way, and are now doing a flourishing business. Some of their proteges fexponents of the gentle artl are: Jack Simpson, Ray Caldwell, sparring partners, Ruben Childs, his shadow boxer, Milford Alexander, massager, Bill Botts, water boy. Every night they hold a match at the Hollywood Fistic Club, and also every night Dorotha Secrist, Marie Sigel, Edith Stamper, Ann Huntsberger and Martha Patterson hold down ring-side seats as they watch the fray. Sounds funny, doesn't it, but remember this is 1950. Dorothy Singleton describes the play-by-play account for us listeners in Podunk or elsewhere. See that big guy there with the heavy gold watch chain? That's P. G. Banker, Jr., who is the President's right hand man in the Secret Service. He must make a lot of dough for it's rumored he owns sixteen Bantombows, the car that was designed by Clarence Bowlin. Helen Bennett and Kathlyn Bach painted the upholstery, while Mary Esther Anthony and Florence Billet carved the cute little ducks on the fenders. Mary Ida Boesenberg, Alice Daily, Hester Brandon, and Georgia Poulos wrote the descriptive ads for the Bowlin Auto Co., so we may be sure everyone reads the papers. Dick Hayes, general secretary of the Los Angeles Central Y. M. C. A. is here this afternoon with several of his fellow workers, they being Howard Hidy, Arthur Hill, Jack Frisch, William Gregory, Earl Billman, Art Gividen, and Frank Gray. The Women's Aquatic Club came here in a body today. The members are: Pauline Graham, who set the long distance record for two feet, Ruth Hall, originator of the swimmer's baby crawl, Virginia Fryman, inventor of the fish stroke, Grace Hickey, champion submerger and emerger, and Georgie Georgopoulos, champion duck diver. Included in the group are: Ruth Williams, designer of the head stroke, Helen Wetzel, record holder for standing on head, Helen Webb, life savr, Viola Veidt, life restorer, and Mary Wideman, substitute. The Secretary of the feminine organization is Vera Turner. I've neglected to say that some of the Profs are here, and in the group are Don Voorhis, Professor of Sociology, Katherine Krasnonski, Dean of Girls, Helen Jones, Director of Natural Physics, Marion Kettenacker, Professor of Geometric Science, Kenneth Jefferies, Dean of Boys, and Margaret Lamson, who coaches the Hollywood Baby Stars' basketball team. Who says Middletown students aren't bright? A bon voyage party is being given this afternoon for Elsie Morgan, Julia Morton, Thelma Brown, Eleanor Washington, and Margaret Herndon, who are leaving tomorrow Page Fifty-eight as missionaries to the Snicht Islands, where they will endeavor to teach the people there the rules of table etiquette. Mlle. Frisch and Mlle. Fair have returned from Paris where they were studying good housekeeping under the vigilant eye of Marion Westerman who sews for the French army. Florence Ditmyer is her assistant and Louise Mulholland keeps up correspondence with the dear old U. S. As the fray continues, more brilliant people arrive and are promenading past me single file. One can tell by their haughty bearing and chilling smiles they are somebody. The first to pass me is Clayton Hill, the composer of the celebrated poultry song, When It's Twilight on the Chicken Roost. In a group of five or six passing, I recognize many people whom I once knew. There's Edwin Johnson, the Lon Chaney of the legitimate stageg Gladys Radabaugh, the wonderful medium and spiritualistg Carlene Price and Martha Warner, co-authors of the book, Elements of Psychology for the Insane , and Gayle Humston and Gordon DuVall, famed chemists, alleged to have invented the smokeless match head. Ah! there goes Hilbert Roebuck, famed Metropolitan Opera tenor singer, whose brilliant performance in the Floating Rib , the latest opera of Horatio Barnes, the world's violinist, overturned the country. There goes Mary Caldwell, premier actress and speaker, who is just recovering from an overworked brain while going about the country explaining Einstein's celebrated Theory of Relativity to third grade pupils. She is with Leslie Peck, the composer of that famous song, Einstein and His Relatives. They are sitting down with Wilda Clendenin, the inventor of a medicine guaranteed to eliminate the squeaking from the bones of the aged. With the last of these celebrities comes Laben Mowry, writer of Better English for Hindu Servants , Eugene Venatta, manager of the Ittis-Orful Theaters, Walter Peck, the model farmer, Howard Bowers, the head of the carpenters' league for the prevention of cruelty to ill-treated carpenter toolsg Max Russelo, author and writer of Russelo's Solid Geometry for Kindergarten Pupils, and Dortha White, up and coming artist who has just displayed her masterpiece, the Back Road Home, and won the Nobel price. Last, but not least, comes Dorothy Adrion, the sheriff of New York's underground section. Ladies and gentlemen, there are only two minutes to playg the score is 7 to T. . . There goes the gun. It's over, the biggest game of the year, and everyone's dashing home to his cold dinner. So I'm off for home, Mary, and the kids. G'night, everybody. ,ixlwf-j ' xi CIF' I ' Y'?Q T -Q. - I ,l TU, 'i --N v - K K ' ,V -- I . '1 ' li HX Mfg f . P - rf f ' ff JN Jr' Page Fi f ty-nine K '55 ', QQQQXQN E 14 sq X .

The two editors and the chairmen of the nine committees have given many hours of ardent labor in making this book worthy of its name. Every available afternoon the editors and chairmen met with Miss McCray, the adviser, planning and perfecting the ideas which appear with so much success in this finished form. To every worker is due much praise for this crowning achievement. To Veda McCray the staff wishes to express its deep appreciation for her untiring efforts.

H. S. has ever published. Last year's Purple Advocate has been discontinued and the Middletonian is now a bi-monthly paper. The staff deserves much favorable com- ment on its work for such a worthwhile edition as the Middletonian. HIARY ELLEN CONGDON, Editor-in-Chief MR.

'saw -- K . Page Eighty- four The Handbook As We Would Write It fWe'll make a forward pass and land on the voice of the handbookj. My voice isn't so keen today. I tackled a big end fof one of Winkelman's ideasj and finally managed to down him, but oh, the after effects! Feel as if I had bucked an Optimist dummy for a touchdown. My throat makes me scream with pain. Oh well, folks, we'll kick off with the faculty-hold tight. There's little use in giving the teachers' home room numbers, as the instructors of all good and noble subjects are never there, and if you can't decide what subject they're teaching you after a year of gruelling, Mr. Miller will surely look up the faculty member in question and endeavor to discover it for you. If you want to know how you're classified, ask the school gossips-and forget about requirements. Most colleges require that you play bridge, dance, and attend all football games. You must have had a thorough course in how to act as a freshie and toward a freshie . You should be proficient in chewing gum, own a ukelele and acquire an extensive supply of wise cracks. The information for everyday needs you can get from your fellow students if they have their assignments prepared. You may use the building any old time, just as long as you replace it when you are finished. If you don't know how to find a room in this building, you are either near- sighted, or don't know a room when you see one. The library is the room from which that delightfully refreshing atmosphere emerges-the abode of the intelligentsia of the school. If you want to find the Deans' ofhces or the Principal's lair, do something you shouldn't and your teacher will promptly and accurately show you the way. If you desire personal interviews with Mr. Miller, send in your petition for an audience immediately, as so many are clamoring for admittance that he is forced to select his interviewers. You may study when and where you like-there are no restrictions on this as so few people concentrate enough to interfere with the regular scholastic work. Invite as many visitors as possible because the teachers will never reprimand you and seldom call on you tif you're dumbj while visitors are around. You needn't worry about scholarship as long as you have a duplicate report with which to dupe the folks at home. When the time for honors comes around buy up a quantity of medals at the Five and Ten. Abhor contests-they are wont to cause sleepless nights, wakeless days, a lot of work and in the end you get Well, it gave you some experience. If you are unlucky enough to be made a cheer leader, minute man, or sandwich girl-hire a robot to do your work. The cafeteria is the one bright spot in this cloudy world. Its slogan is- Eat, drink, and be merry, for if our food doesn't kill you, studying will! Get in as many activities as you can-it costs nothing, so don't be Scotch. There are a lot of rules and regulations that we should like to put in concerning teachers-but this book goes to press before school is out and the culprits might be discovered. fThat's what's wrong with this school- free speech isn't toleratedj. We have a few athletic eligibility rules, chief among which are the following: 1. Each football player must know a football when he sees one. fNot required in basketballl . 2. No touchdowns can be made without Coach's express orders, so if you don t want to obey this rule, don't sign up. Y 3. You must be financially capable of purchasing all chewing gum and water you use during the games. 4. If the opposing team hasn't a good defense you must help them. flf you disagree with this theory you won't be eligiblej. 5. You should know geometry and art so you will know which is the most artistic and correct angle to kick the ball. t fCoutinued on Page 1581 'K 'uf ,-,A 1 7' ' v 7?

Every three weeks, a play is presented by the club members. Constructive criticisms are handed in at the close of each play. Some of the plays which were presented in chapel were: At the Stroke of Twelve, which was given by Homer Boxwell, Marion Kiester, Vera Turner, Mary Ellen Congdon, and. Geraldine Raines. The Christmas play, A Christmas Carol, was presented by Max Russelo, Edwin Johnson, Luther Morrison, Mark Kerschbaum, Wanda Roberts, Frances Schomer and Homer Boxwell. Other members of the club had minor parts. The most interesting plays which were presented at the club meetings were To Be Dealt With Accordingly, Moonshine, and In 1999. Socc and Buskin Robert Herman, President Thelma Allen, Treasurer Mary Helen Steed, Vibe President John Deardorff S t t A David Epstein, Secretary Stanley Reed ergean 8'a ' ,gms Thelma Clevenger, Adviser ' Socc and Buskin is the name of this year's newly organized dramatic club for Juniors only. Their peppy name isn't nearly as foolish as it sounds, for it is a combina- tion of the Greek word soccus, the low sandal symbol of comedy, and the white buskin, a high boot worn in tragedic roles. At the meetings of the club such plays as Thursday Evening, Evening Dress, Mrs, 0akley's Telephone, and others were presented. Besides the plays, lessons on make-up and chalk talks were given and originality in programs was especially encouraged. The annual Thanksgiving chapel play, It Could Have Been Worse, was written by Mary Helen Steed and capably portrayed by Stanley Reed, Aileen Sheley, Hazel Beier, Mildred Shartle, John Deardorff, and David Epstein. The humorous and complicated situations of The First Dress Suit, as portrayed by Herbert Boren, Nina Sebly, Robert Herman, and Mary Jane Crawford, were worthy of commendation. This play was presented publicly for charity purposes. The club has had a very successful social time, including an initiation party at Wildwood early in the fall, a Christmas party in Franklin, and a Spring party at the close of the school year. Ye Merrie Jesters Millie Bender, President Virginia Shrout, Treasurer George Wilkerson, Vice President Dorothy Lamson S t A Mary Lou Chestnut, Secretary Virginia Catching ergeantsm' ' rms Louise Wood, Adviser Ye Merrie Jesters is a Sophomore dramatic group.

FLoaENcs Powam., Director The Fool, by Channing Pollock, was most creditably produced by the large cast. Though a heavy play for high school amateurs, the cooperation and ability of the cast carried it through most successfully. The title role of Gilchrist was played most effectively by Charles Rybolt, whose interpretation of the man who dared to live up to his ideals was most striking, not only to the audience but to the others in the play. If he was- surpassed in his acting, it was by the able portrayal of Goodkind, Sr., by Russell Bowman. As a heroine of a play, even though her mistakes were for a life time, Ruth Price won the hearts of her audience. Paul Catching as Jerry Goodkind, the personification of a descent in life through dissipation, and Wadena Miller as Mary Margaret of the miracle scene, were two other who e work stood out from that of the majority. Perhaps the most progress, and certainly much sincerity, was shown by Harry Campbell in the guise of the Pole. However, though some characters appeared better taken than others, it was the willing cooperation of each member of the large group that brought success. There was much merriment at some of the rehearsalsg mob scenes looked like free- for-alls, though the director found them more obedient to the whistle than most mobs. Ten Days! grew to be a byword of the cast, the significance of which will always be a mystery outside of the magic circle. An afternoon party at Chautauqua was the climax to our fun: the number of popsicles devoured by one member of the mob has always remained the second miracle in our play. Then the play was over, splendidly over, and everyone said, I never thought you could do it! More than ever, we stood together because we knew the task well done had been accomplished not by one or two, but by all of us, and we were sorry we had no longer any work to do-together. -P .71 5, J g, 5 1 Hi 5 Q2 -Q ,,w,, , Page Nine ty-one f 'T ffitrs-I I , 'lx 7 SX.

PROPERTIES .......,..................................,... Robert Easton, DavId Epstein THELMA CLEVENGER, Director The strains of On Wisconsin and Carmen Ohio g a glimpse into the trainer tent where the coach is reading the riot act to the runnersg then the excitement of a real track meet, pennants flying, cheers, a real relay race, and running through it all an appealing love story-what could hold more thrills for an audience? What could better express the merited popularity of this entertaining play of youth? Highly commendable were the dramatic attainments and the excellent characteri- zations in this play. The diflicult lead, The Poor Nut, was portrayed with an ease and excellency that would do credit to a professional, and showed remarkable ability in pantomime. And how he did consume those apples at dress rehearsals! The Wisconsin rival, our inimitable Willie , proved his versatility by turning into a real villain. He insists he is still pulling out cactus stickers thrust into him by the hero. Of course there was a sweet little heroine whose gentle unassuming personality charmed her audience. And what a vamp the junior class has given us, or shall we say what a clever actress in the scintillating Miss Wisconsin ! Then there was the college professor and the grouchy Book Store manager, both good impersonations of age. There was the humorous standard studentg the popular Ohio State track captaing the hardboiled trainer fwho used his musclej g the coach who laid them out with looks and wordsg and the cute little Freshie. These characters were all well done and made a lasting impression. The rooters and runners deserve praise for producing the most exciting scene in the entire play. Their pep and the antics of the funny little cheer leader produced such excitement that the audience was almost cheering with them. An exceptionally large cast, yet so harmonious and cooperative in every way, that their spirit reflects a remarkable junior class. ' Page Ninety-two I.. ..I fix i I.

F . Louise Wood The town was Sandusky, Ohio. In order to satisfy the longing of his daughter, Ethel, for a man who has lived , Henry Simmons tells a little white lie about his partner, Chester Binney, and a famous movie actress, Letty Lythe. One good story calls for another, and each little white lie adds a smile to this whirlwind of hilarity until statistics show 374 laughs. Vous avez surpasse mes reveal spoke Roger Shields to Mrs. Simmons, who loved romance and good manners. Mr. Audience translated the French phrase and'fittingly applied it to the Sophomore cast: You have surpassed my dreams. The curtain has fallen on the scenes of Sandusky. But, the whole town continues to talk. All Middletown's talking of this enjoyable performance, the admirable inter- pretation and portrayal of character by the all-star cast.

SCHULZ, Coach The question for debate this year was: Resolved that chain stores are detrimental to the best. interests oi' the United States Public. The 125 schools, which was the ofiicial enrollment for this year, were divided into seventeen districts with seven schools in each district. During the Preliminary Series, every school had to debate each other in its own district, and the winner of one district debated the winner of another. This was done until only two schools remained. In the spring these two schools participated in the final championship debate held at Columbus. The Ohio University Division of Public Speaking is at the head of this with D. W. Riley as manager. The schools which are in the same district as Middletown are: Okeana, Campbells- town, Lebanon, VVest Chester, Lockland, and Monroe. Some other schools which a1'e participating: in the Ohio State High School Debating League are: Troy, Findlay. Hicksville, Lima, Canton, Ashland, Xenia, Oberlin, Brooklyn Heights, VVooster, Youngs- town, Portsmouth. and Marietta. Middletown went a step further this year than last. Last year she had to debate off a tie while this year she won all the debates in her district, and thus became district champion. I nge Nmcly six 7, ..-... MUSIC I 1 N n tu even Band Tho High School and all Middletown are proud- of our M. H. S. band, which in uniform marched, counter-marched and formed the famous M at our football games. Another thing, which adds greatly to the appearance of our band as they march, is the new banner which is carried at the head of the -band at every occasion. They have traveled with the teams to several of the games and have joined the other bands while strutting the field. Their aid in upepping up and entertaining the crowds throughout the basketball season also, is not to be overlooked. The band boys are very faithful in their playing, which is a star in their crown. Eleven boys have played at every basketball game and nine boys have played at all but one. To reward the boys, who had been faithful and diligent in their work, a music M -was given them in chapel. The band gave their annual concert in chapel March 25. Music hath charms to soothe the savage breast, and doubtless it had the same influence on the teams this year, which came up to their usual high record of cham- pionship. Many individuals, who got their start .in M. H. S., have gone out and made good in other bands, due to the eflicient leadership of Professor Copp. This year's success is due to the excellent cooperation of each member, to the eillcient work of the drum majors, Charles Hansel and Harold Fisher, and director, Professor Copp. We seldom realize how much the band means to the school and how much we owe them for their services. We cannot boast of this band being the largest, but we can of the best. Let us take this opportunity to give three rousing cheers for the Band of M. H. S. Page Nmety eight F., , , ,M ,,.,.-.....,.

MCMANN, Assistant Sergeant The Student Senate, composed of one senator and one alternate elected from each home room, is an organization through which the wishes and opinions of all the students regarding school matters are voiced. The Senate meets twice a month, and on the following morning in every home room, a report is given by the representative to the students of his room. The oiiicers of the Senate are nominated by the senators, but are elected by the student body. The president of the Senate appoints his own committees to handle and investigate the different matters. Such matters as suggested minor improvements to the building, small purchases of school equipment, and betterment of school conditions are discussed and approved or rejected by the Senate. No action i taken upon questions unless approved by school authorities. For the fourth year, the Student Senate is sponsoring the Variety Show, the proceeds from which are to be used this year for charitable purposes in the school. The proceeds of last year's show were used for stage furnishings, a very fine addition to our audi- torium equipment.

QC, , V- . Page One Hundred Seven ll ll ff ' x The Variety Show Did you see the Variety Show? Well, it was worth the time and ambition you had to spend. And of course you couldn't have missed the Faculty actg that was the hit of the season. It was only proper that the show should be started with a bang, and there would have been one if Mary Ellen Gallaher, alias Jerry Anderson, had dropped the rather dictionary looking Bible when she was sworn in as a witness against John F. Winkelman, who was charged with disturbing the peace. And we'1l all remember that John F. Cin reality Mark Kerschbaumk promised to swear. Wouldn't that have been terrible? Is Mr. Winkelman's voice like thunder, and are students young, calm, and dumb before their teacher disturbs them ? Well, the mock trial was not the whole show. Ye Merrie Jesters played their part exceptionally well, and we are still wondering if Mary Lou Chestnut's Otto is waitin' fer her. My, wasn't Otto lMax Burskj splendid to pay off the mortgage and save his loved one's family! And Maggie had a grand reception. Maggie had a good double in Marion Kiester, and although Jiggs was considerably squelched, he and Dinty finally succeeded in obtaining their corn beef and cabbage. The long and short of that reception was Mary Ellen Congdon and John Hamm whom everyone enjoyed, as well as the dancing of Wanda Roberts, and the lunching on carrots and cheese of the young miss from Paris, Kentucky-Kathryn Franks. 'NuH said for the Purple Masquers. Our Socc and Buskin's Minstrel was quite novel, especially in the harmony of its songs, and its selection of musical instruments. The leader, Sassafrilla J. Copp, was none other than Stanley Reed, and the two clever end men were David Epstein and Harry Pierce. We wonder if Socc and Buskin could produce their copyright on the M. H. S. song usedifor their theme song. The Junior Leaders Corp gave us some excellent acrobatic feats, and our Variety Show could never be complete without their act. Did Wade E. Miller have a good excuse for being late? Well, that was the question at issue in the Senior Hi-Y Girls' act, The School Life of the Faculty. One day disclosed many juicy bits of gossip: that Gertrude Price knew what A apple wasg that Mabel Eldridge ate jawbreakers in school, that Forest Valentine teased the girls. One of the pupils informed us that Columbus didn't discover America, because we have not been discovered yet. Then the Boys' Glee Club said Hello to us with several clever selections, especially a lullaby. A lullaby to whom? Oh! just a little doll. Poor Reggie, as portrayed by Virginia Hilling, could not help making comments about the models, when he went with his bride-to-be, Robin Becker, to select her trousseau. Madame Eloise's Shoppe gave us some of the latest styles from Paree, and we know now that the Rolling Stones can put on a Fashion Show. A graceful Little Alice in Wonderland was Joe Ritter, and the bull-frog, the bunny, and the babbling brook, from his story, were very interesting. Who killed Cock Robin? It was all quite a mystery about who was to die, who did die, and why? The Senior Hi-Y boys left the mystery somewhat unsolved as to the person guilty of the murder. And now comes Lochinvar on his trusty steed. He must have practiced a long time and broken in that steed to be able to carry his bride to their destination. It was a wonderful wedding, and if Broadway knew of such extraordinary talent among our faculty, our teachers would be living in New York. Wa.sn't the organ recital grand, even if one of the pipes was put in the wrong place? The faculty contributed harmoniously to the recital and we appreciated very much the organist's music written by Heemself and dedicated to the same. All in all it was a splendid Variety Show, and we challenge the next years' classes to produce a better one. So say we all of us-eh! Page One Hundred Eight Ew'...L.i. ..

Decagon dance. Orchestra had to wear asbestos outfits it got so hot. Winkelman gives his famous oration in Student Senate. Did I say that, now, did I say that? QSomebody must have been squelchedj. The Turkey Middletonian appears. It Could Have Been Worse is presented in chapel. fMaybe it could have been worse, but not much betterj. Tiffin game called off. The team has something to be thank- ful for. flt can eat all the turkey it wants nowj. HAVE You A SENIOR TWIN?

Training's over, and did the team make up for lost time at the banquet! They won't diet from now on. Mr. Winkelman gives the Student Senate a course on Eti- quette at the Basketball Games. Did you hear the big news? No Optimist meeting! Let's go right home from school for once. Mr. Zierer gives us a travel talk on Palestine and the lunches they don't serve there fsquare mealsl. Didn't need a pep meeting to beat Franklin. Did you hear the cheers for the band? Hi-Y girls play Santa Claus. fWrap Christmas packagesl.

Purple Masquers demonstrates its ability in its annual Christmas play, and even the rodents come to listen in fa mousel. The girls have their big Hi-Y Christmas parties. The Optimist pictures come out, and aren't they terrible? We give Hughes a back seat in the basketball game. Who says we don't have a winning team? Withrow falls a victim to our onslaught. School is out! Did you hear the cheer offered to the Christ- mas season at the end of the 5th period? It's great to lie in bed for once. Just think, two whole weeks of contentment.

Noon-and yet, the household snores! A peppy game with Miamisburg. Strike up the new band! Murder! Local newspapers informed the staff that they have just begun their work, and the staff wants revenge! Variate Student Senate by beginning on Variety Show. Middletonian, Optimist, and Student Senate all at once. Aren't they rushing us a bit? The staff gets writer's cramps, and undoubtedly the janitors will get cramps cleaning the windows in 201. The Hovel Brothers sing all about the pretty mermaids. Wish I were a fish, too. First Hi-Y of the New Year-turning over a new leaf. A game of pitch the candy in 201. Oh, this Optimist staff! Beat the brow of Western Hills in a fierce combat. Oh, those Hying tackles make you want to take up aerial football! Another Optimist meeting with every shaggy brow con- tracted in concentrated thought. The bird talk about fish stories. Did you see the bright boy in the first row adding up the billions? Senior class has a big pow Wow about the prom. It grew so hot the janitor was summoned to extinguish the fiames. Whoopee! Another chapel this week on Character Build- ing . Would have been more interesting to some of the audience if it had been block building. Student Senate meeting. Keep on the right side of Jim says Winkelman so we can have some cheering. Add a new bird, to our collection. Win a picture, The American Eagle , for banking. Debate in chapel. Some of the sleeping students drowned out the debaters with their musical rumblings. Another big Senior day-voted on the why and wherefore of the prom. Middletonian breaks out again in fine print. Too bad it wasn't the measles. The plague of school life again attacks-report cards. This debate wasn't quite so good, the speakers disturbed' our slumbers. Sandwich girls and Orchestra take up a donation to pay for a broken camera lens. Lots of little white lyres floating around today-no angels though-yes, the band had its picture taken. Last day to buy an Optimist-big campaign closes. HAVE You A SENIOR TWIN?

CALENDAR FEBRUARY What's happened? Student Senate is out early! Mr. Win- kelman must have a cold. Again the pennies are let loose in a wild race to the bank. Chef is angry-he expected to use the sour notes from the orchestra this morning to flavor his pickles-but the orches- tra didn't play many. Cafeteria will go bankrupt now buy- ing some. Portsmouth-wow, wotta game! Storm at the box office. Everybody's blue except the senators who are pink with delight. Winkelman can't fire his gun this evening. Ha! Middletonian has some new cuts ino bruises thoughl. Paper's progressing. Sophomore Play. The Whole Town's Talking about the iight in the dark. Dr. Shimer talks on the Man Behind Your Face. Have to do some excavating to find the Girl Behind the Cos- metics. Lincoln wasn't so great after all-couldn't even emancipate high school students-yes, we have to go to school. Marietta plays M. H. S. team but it managed to limp back to town. The Valentine blew up balloons and pasted programs all afternoon. The big Senior ball in the evening fnot rubberl but some people thought our toes were. Prom and banquet-no lessons Monday. Senators languish through another session. Everything back to normal-temperature 0. K. Girls' Glee Club performs-now some of the fellows want to take up singing. We, too. succumb to Steele. fMake M. H. S. the curl and Steele the scissorsi. Purple Masquers throw another wild party that surely hit the initiates in their weakest spot-dish washing. The spirit of dear old George chops off another day of school. Blessings on thee, little man. Special Student Senate meeting for variety tickets. Cell 20-says Warden Winkelman. No wonder they call this place Sing Sing -that's all we did in chapel. svG'f ,, Springfield retaliates with an upper cut that sends us ' ' scurrying home. Troy may have fallen, but this time it crashes on the right 1 side of the fence-yes, we lost the debate. Seniors lose a 15 minute study hall to listen to the latest , -..... edition of College Prospects in person. The Zanesville CAL 10 game-now the team can write finish on the score board. ' Still practicing on those variety stunts. Wish they'd give M '.Vf4 ,, 3 us a break and incidentally a portion of variety. U i HAVE You A SENIOR TWIN?

Student Senators hold another session. Variety Show. For awhile we thought Pegasus was going through the wings. Some show, wasn't it? No chapel-Y not? Maybe the teachers are still checking those exams. Oh me, oh my. Ha! The results of the exams are posted, and look who's heading the American History list. Another Student Senate meeting. Some poor students have to dissolve some ties-another exam. Whoops! We get off early to go to the tournament. Climbing up the ladder with the championship in sight. Student Senate takes a rest. 113 must look MT or else like sleepy hollow this evening. Another Middletonian with an abundance of humor pouring from its pages. Mr. Solomon gives his annual speech. He consoles the red- haired, freckle-faced people with a chance for fame. Now some people will start dying their hair and face pronto. It may be Friday, 13th, but it is lucky for us. Reach semi- finals in Southwestern District Tournament. Optimist off. The dear old book has gone to press. Hear the sigh of relief in 201? Another Student Senate session-March 4 doesn't affect them. They ought to amend the school's constitution so that they can have a chance being lame ducks. The second Harwitz elimination-they're dropping off like fieas. Oh, the horror of the slaughter! More movies in chapel. Wish they'd keep on moving till the clock moves 'round to 12:00 and we move up to lunch. It's your move next. The Seniors enjoy the wrack of headaches and heartaches in the annual exams at Hamilton. Oh, what questions! The band gives us some uncanned music. Not bad, but why did they put on the lid so soon? fMaybe it evaporatesj. Student Senate reconvenes. Oh, dear, what a life they're leading. fSounds like Chorus in 3023.

Kathleen Banker: Your Destiny number is a negative 3. You are calm, rather indifferent, due to your Destiny number falling under this planet Jupiter. You are accurate, keen, and somewhat sarcastic. You are, how- ever, by nature kind, unemotional, neat, and impassive. Your color is yellow. Wear it to bring out your real traits. Helen Barkley: Your dominant number, negative 2, in- dicates that you are loyal, tactful, kind, agreeable, quiet, pleasing and rather independent. There are times when you have just a touch of jealousy due to the negative planet moon under which your Destiny number falls. E. O. Barr: Your Destiny number is a negative 5. Obdurate, rather unbending and unyield- ing, witty, rather sarcastic, patronizing, and sporty. You are quick, energetic, and bright of eye. If you would change your name, either your surname or Chris- tian, you would be able to change your Destiny to a more yielidng, gentle type. A nne Carman : Your Destiny number is a positive unusual 6. You are by both your Destiny and personality number dreamy, languid, peaceful, lovable, quiet, unassuming and cheerful in a reserved way, and you are so dreamy as to be very unbusinesslike. Your color is pink or cerise. Wear it in order that it will be truly harmonious with your nature. Choose friends whose personality number is a 3. Fay Clark : ,, Your Destiny numberais a negative 1. You are earnest, sincere, quiet, modest, unassuming, and virtuous. Your color is gold, very harmonious with your outward appearance and sunny nature. Choose friends whose personality number are 4 and 9. Wear the golden color. It will be helpful in aiding you to keep your true nature and disposition. Thelma Clevenger : Your Destiny number is a positive 8. You are ardent, adaptable, pious, me- diumistic, spiritual, and creativeg also you are courageous, immaculate and in- tellectual. Your color is dark blue, black or cerise. When choosing a life mate be very careful to choose one whose person- ality number is a 4 or a 6, for your number is rather hard to harmonize with. Page One Hundred Twenty-two Verna Compton : Your Destiny number is a negative 8. You are courageous, pure, a lover of simplicity in dress, living, etc., very accurate, intellectual, resourceful and kind. Your color is black, dark blue or gray. Wear it to emphasize your per- sonal traits. Choose friends whose per- sonality number is a 4 or 6. Herman Copp: Your Destiny number is a negative 1. You are earnest, artistic, firm, passive, and a wee bit careless and fickle. But you might make a great mental telepathist with a few changes in your name. Your color is gold. Wear it to help your sunny nature. Mabel Eldridge: Your Destiny number is a positive 9. You are gentle, poetical, placid, zealous. Choose friends whose personality num- bers are a 5 and an 8. Your color is red or dark orange. If you would change your surname, you would extinguish a sort of hidden warlike fire in your Des- tiny. I would suggest Mabel Ann Eld- ridge as better fitted to go with your naturally gentle nature. Russell vans : Your Dgltinylrnumber is 5 and positive. The 5 denotes' intelligence. You are energetic, liberal, generous at times, un- emotional, quiet, poised, sober, scholarly, and usually a'good student of human nature. Your color is dark green. Wear it for it will aid you in keeping your natural disposition. Rayner Greene : Another positive 3. You are quiet, un- assuming, complacent, thoughtful, inven- tive, and self-reliant. Your color is yellow. Your recent marriage ought to be a success, for your life mate's person- ality number is a 1 interchangeable to a positive 3. Helen Hartman : Your Destiny number and dominant number is the positive 2. You are fear- less, unusually patient, rather enthusi- astic, unemotional, neat, and you are usually planning pleasure or misery for somebody. Your dominant planet is the Sun. Eleanor H aueisen: Your Destiny number is a positive 1. You are independent, firm, aristocratic, sincere, earnest, passive, and rather idealistic. Your color is gold. You ought to wear it as a charm. You have chosen the profession of teaching wisely, for it harmonizes with your Destiny number. Your profession number is 4. Gladys H oerner: Your Destiny number is positive 2. You are wise, chaste, studious, independent, tactful and loyal, but you are somewhat haughty. Your number is really the hardest character to read. Your color is white, pale gray, or silver. Wear it as a charm. When choosing a life mate, choose one whose personality number is a 7 or a 6. Bess Hoover : Your Destiny number is a negative 4. You are sweet, impassive at times, patient, receptive, impetuous, and you are morose at times. You are always plan- ning either pleasure or misery for some- body. Your color is dlark blue. Your Destiny number falls under the planet negative Sun. Elmo Lingrel: You are a positive 8. You are courage- ous, resolute, intellectual, adaptable, powerful, and determined. Your color is dark gray, dark blue, or black. Your number is inliuenced greatly by the planet Saturn. You make a natural leader. Helen Long : Your Destiny number is the quiet, un- assuming positive 8.

F. WINKELMAN, Afll16fiC'nlllllllgCl' Page One Hundred Twenty-seven A Message From Coach The 1930 football season at M. H. S. stands out as one of the best in many years. The undefeated' record of the team is commendable when one considers the competition of the present day football in High School circles. A great deal of praise and credit must be given our opponents. They not only played good, clean, hard footballg but taxed our every effort at all times. The sportsmanship of our opponents was of the highest type. We are proud to have had teams of such high calibre on our schedule. Middletown High reached a high peak in sportsmanship last season. The scholarship was best of any preceding year. The cooperation was excellent and' team spirit was present everywhere. Only words of praise can be given to the high type of character and gentlemanly attitude of each and every boy on the squad. Many boys will not be among us next fall. We will miss them, to be sure, however we are happy to have left with us the memory of the splendid record of sportsmanship, character and team play which was so noticeably displayed by all of them. We will have many boys returning next fall. It will be up to them to fill the gaps left open by graduation. Next year's schedule is by far the hardest ever attempted by Middletown High. A schedule of ten games wit.h the best teams in the state has been arranged. Whether we win or lose, let's strive to maintain our high standard of sportsmanship, keep our scholastic standing up, live clean, morally, physically and mentally that we will be better fitted to meet such worthy opponents on the old battle ground. Page One Hundred Twenty-eight COACH LINGREL Coach, the man whom every one looks to for the highest qualities of sportsmanship, character, and a dynamic personality, for eight years has given Middletown High School successful football teams. There is a certain something in c0ach'S personality that makes every fellow want to put forth his greatest efforts. A great deal of the credit for the high reputation of M. H. S. in High School circles is due to Coach Lingrel's untiring perseverance. COACH GREENE Although this is only Coach Greene's second year as a basketball mentor and as- sistant to Lingrel in football, he has shown he knows a lot about both sports. Among the many new features that Greene has im- parted to his basketball cohorts, the zone defense is the most distinctive. A lot of the credit for the success of the undefeated 1930 football team is due Coach Greene, because of his ability to drill the second team against the varsity. NEIL ENRIGHT Half-back All hail, our able captain of the 1930 undefeated football team. He has given four years of fighting Irish service for M. H. S. Neil has been especially efficient in the blocking department of the game, and a very able ball carrier. Many an opponent's long run has been cut short by the bone- crushing tackles of old Double Ugly . Neil is one of the few men who has made his M in his freshman year. Next year's squad will seem a bit empty without the Irish smile and cheerful character of Enright. f' -55 I i Q-.. Page One Hundred Tlventy-'nine -ia K Page Om' Hundred Thirty STANLEY ARMITAGE Quarter-back Stanley, the 'tGalloping Ghost of the Middies, was a hard, fast driving quarter- back. He showed up especially well in the Kiser game, where under his superb general- ship in the last quarter of the game, the Middies drove from the thirty yard line clear to the goal line. In scrimmage at prac- tice during the week, Stanley was one of the main threats. He could always put up a keen battle against a larger bunch of fellows and often he came out on top. P. G. BANKER End or Backfield P. G.'s initials might easily stand for Powerful Guy , for his size is deceptive. Banker performed equally well at end or in the backfleld, and when called upon to carry the ball or snag a pass he was right on the dot. A good many of our opponents were wont to scoff when Banker entered the fray, but when he got into action they found that he was little but mighty. BOB GETTER End Bob has played his second consecutive year as a regular on the M. H. S. football squad. He held down his position on end both years as if he had been a professional. He showed up excellently in the defense and blocking out his man, which caused many of the long gains made by the backfield men. He proved his ability in the Springfield game setting the upstaters back for losses time and time again. TRUMAN GRAY Tackle Truman, the largest boy on the squad held down his position at tackle as if he were a veteran. Although he was a little awkward this year, he showed his ability greatly in the games he played. He was always faith- ful at practice, turning out whether it was cold or hot. He received more bumps than the rest because he had more surface to be bruised. He has another year yet to help M. H. S. win more games. We're all pulling for him. GERALD HORN Center Jerry, our roving center, had much to do with the success of the 1930 team. He was especially deft in intercepting enemy passes and many times saved the Middies from being scored upon. In the Portsmouth game, Jerry intercepted a pass on his own 20 yard line and paved the way for our first touch- down. Horn has another year and we hope he will rise to even greater heights next season. Very few fumbles were made because of Jerry's passes from center, for he always knew where to throw the ball. J. B. McMANN Quarterback Jason, John Bueford, J. B., and many other such monickers were applied to McMann by the players, fans, and even the officials. He was the quarterback with a terrible temper which showed up in the first game. He called signals very ably this year. His charging and blocking was nothing to be sneezed at. Many of the touchdowns were due to Eagle Eye's accurate passes which beautifully sailed through the air into the waiting arms of Sparks. His long runs and fighting spirit kept up the enthusiasm of the crowd as well as the players. JIMMY SPARKS Tackle No, this is not Karl Dane, it's Jimmy Sparks, M. H. S.'s 1929 all Ohio Tackle. Jim has played three years on the Middies' teams, one year at guard and two at tackle. Last season Sparks mastered the art of snagging passes from the ozone and many of the Middies' touchdowns were scored by the Big Swede. M. H. S. will miss Jimmy next year and Coach will have to look pretty hard before he finds someone who can tackle as well as Jimmy. ,...I ' Page One Hundred Thirty-one Page One Hundred Thirty-tzco PAUL LAWSON Guard Rube Lawson, the stellar guard, has played two years with the Lingrel grid machine and has still another year to go which we know will make his reputation as a guard stand out still more. Whenever Rube hits a man, he stays hit, and whenever he tackles a man he stays tackled. He starred in all the games in which he played. In the early part of the Kiser game he broke two ribs but kept right on playing. In the Lima Central game when a much down- hearted team was doing its best to win, Rube came into the fray in the last part of the second quarter and the team picked up noticeably. KENNETH HALSEY End Halsey, our curly haired end's motto was '4They shall not pass, and the ball carrier very seldom skirted his end. Although Halsey was not a brilliant player, he always gave his best. He was a good blocker and a hard tackler, and was an able pass receiver. We will miss Kenny next year for he has earned himself a place on the scroll of honor by his earnest nature and likeable spirit. JOE RITTER Half-back Joe was our hip-twisting, spinning' half- back who bewildered the foe many a time with his deceptive running' and uncanny ability of shaking off would-be tacklers. Rit- ter's specialty was a short line play that netted a tidy sum of yardage on many an occasion. He was a good blocker and tackler, and was exceptionally fast on his feet. M. H. S. will miss Joe's talent. OVA KASH Tackle Big Ovy has played two years at right tackle and has proved himself a very valu- able man on both the offense and defense. His hard, clean tackling and excellent block- ing will be missed greatly. It was seldom that an opponent could outwit him and cause him to let an opposing ball carrier through his side. When ever the game was starting, Ova was ready to go. He never had to take time out and has played in every quarter this season. MERLE WENDT Half-back Merle is only a Sophomore this year and he has already earned a letter and two stripes. He scored the majority of the touch- downs last season. In the Washington Court House game he made several brilliant 1'uns and scored both the touchdowns. Merle is not only a good ball carrier, but also an excellent blocker and pass receiver. In all his playing, his excellent and commendable work with his brother, Chet, has put the Wendt family on the athletic map in a great fashion. CHESTER WENDT End This was Chet's first year at end and will be his last for M. H. S. His outstanding ability was that of snagging the enemy ball carriers behind the line of scrimmage and throwing them for a great loss. His block- ing was enough to make any one proud. On the offense he played tackle, and very few guards were able to break through his side of the line to stop a Middie ball carrier. Chet showed up exceptionally bright in the Lima South game, for he always seemed in the way of the Bengal ball carriers. Page One Hundred Thirty-three N. S.. X :N K+ .Jvvi I . Q W X Page One Hundred Thirty-four HARLAN ROMANS Half-back Biscuit was the Albie Booth of Middle- town. This masked wonder skirted the opponent's ends before they knew what had happened. Harlan is light but very fast and we expect to see wonders from him next year. Although he was the lightest and smallest fellow on the squad, when in action he was one of the mightiest. Romans had his nose badly broken in practice and was then compelled to wear a mask the rest of the season. BOB JONES Guard Bob performed well at the guard position this season and when he broke into the game he always gave a good account of himself. Jones played especially well in the Washing- ton Court House and Lima Central games. He was a good charger and blocker, and could be depended on to be in the path of the ball carrier. Jonesy possesses a determined makeup and he sticks to what ever he is doing, like a leach. B ILL WEI KAL Half-back At the end of the Springfield game, Bill had completed two years of active service for M. H. S. at the position of half-back. Weikal was a stubborn blocker and a snappy ball carrier. His stocky frame caused him to be an excellent line plunger. Bill had a lot of tough luck during- his football career. He was injured several times and forced out of the play. ART STRONG Full-back Art Dude Strong, our dependable full- back has played his second consecutive year as a regular on the M. H. S. football team. Dude was especially excellent in driving straight through the line, and the majority of the passes that were intercepted this year were taken by Art. He also backed up the line remarkably this year.

SUBS These are the doughty fellows who are the material for the future and the makers of the present teams by their efforts in giving those, who do get to play, plenty of stiff practice. The subs are the fellows who come out night after night, get bruised, and banged about, yet show up with a smile just the same. They are the chief consolers and cheerers during a game. All of them are good workers and work fully as hard as the regulars. ,..-I' Page One Hundred Thirty-five Football Record for 1930 M. H. S. Opponents Newport 20 7 McGuffey 45 0 Portsmouth 14 0 Lima South 16 0 Hughes 39 0 Kiser 19 8 Washington Court House 12 0 Lima Central 6 6 Springfield 13 0 184 21 Games Newport After three weeks of strenuous practice, Coach Lingrel's 1930 grid machine opened its season by defeating the Kentucky Newport team by a score of 20 to 7. The Middies outblocked and outplayed their heavier opponents in every quarter of the game. The purple superiority was shown by gaining from scrimmage 310 yards to Newport's 10, and making 20 first downs while the Kentuckians were making one. Newport's lone score came in the second period by a well executed pass. McGuH'ey At the start of the season no game had been scheduled for the week following the Newport encounter, but a game was arranged for the second team with McGuffey of Oxford. The Middie yearlings tramped them in the dust by a score of 45 to 0. Several times in the game the Purple captain had to call time out, so his teammates could get their wind back after repeatedly crossing the enemy goal line. At times it was hard to tell whether it was the first or second team that was playing, for the yearlings played like real veterans. Portsmouth On October 4th the Portsmouth team journeyed to Middletown to endeavor to inflict a second defeat in as many years. The Portsmouth team outweighed the Pur-Whites by a large margin, but the Lingrelites took their handicap lightly and battled their way to a 14 to 0 victory. Both of the Purple's touchdowns came in the second period of the game. Horn, roving center, intercepted a pass on his own 20 yard line. On the next play, McMann, aided by perfect interference, ran 60 yards before he was downed . After three successive plays, Merle Wendt drove over for a touchdown. With but three minutes yet to play in the first half, the Lingrelites started an 80 yard march, which ended when Art Strong chalked up another marker. Ritter added the extra point by cracking the line. Cropper, Portsmouth's triple threat man, gave the Middie players plenty of scares, but he could not quite get away for any scores. Lima South Within five minutes after the kick-off in the encounter with the undefeated Lima South team, a pass from McMann to Sparks netted the first touchdown. In the final stanza the Middies added 9 more points by a pass from McMann to Merle Wendt and a blocked kick. In the 3rd stanza, Vogelsang, the Bengal's outstanding star, reversed his field and ran quite a distance before he was pulled down. Time after time the forward wall of the Pur-Whites would break through and tackle the Bengal ball-toter behind the line of scrimmage for losses of from 5 to 8 yards. Page One Hundred Thirty-six I u ai Wa' 'L -1 Hughes In the track meet against Hughes the Middies scored 39 points to Hughes' 0. The purple gridders scored in the first three minutes of play and kept right on scoring throughout the game. They made 22 first downs to the Hughes three. Kash, a tackle, made a touchdown by falling on a blocked kick behind the Hughes line. The McMann to Sparks passes were working to perfection. Feldhaus was the outstanding star of the Big Reds. Romans outran the big Hughes players in the last quarter to scamper over the goal. Kiser One thousand Middletown rooters journeyed to U. D. stadium to see the Middies play Ubogy man to Kiser in their first night game. On the kick-off the Middies marched down the field to Kiser's two yard line where the ball was fumbled. Then the Middies again traversed the field for a touchdown. The Middies were on the one yard line when the half ended. Kiser's score came late in the third period when they scored a touchdown by two lateral passes. They also got a safety by a blocked kick. Late in the last quarter Strong and Armitage carried the ball 70 yards by off guard and off tackle drives for a touchdown. Washington Court House The Middies took their sixth straight victory by defeating Washington Court House 12 to 0. On the first play that the Middies tried, the sophomore, Merle Wendt, ran 50 yards before being stopped. The next two plays netted 20 yards and Wendt carried the ball over for our first touchdown. In the second quarter Merle came through with another brilliant run, after the ball had been carried to the thirteen yard line, going through tackle for a touchdown after shaking off three of the opponents. Armbrust, star halfback of W. C. H., was unable to break loose for any of his long runs. Penalties kept the Middies from scoring the rest of the first half and their final threat ended in the third quarter, when a forward pass was incomplete. The Lingrelites completely outplayed their opponents, obtaining seventeen first downs to W. C. H.'s four. Lima Central The best the Middies could do against the Dragons was a 6 to 6 tie. The Lingrelites repeatedly carried the ball within scoring distance, but didn't have the punch necessary to push the ball over. Late in the second' quarter, Brown of Lima, came through the line and blocked a punt. He recovered the ball and carried it to the two yard line before being downed. Brentlinger then carried the ball across for a touchdown. Early in the third quarter Enright by a series of hard smashing attacks put the ball over the line, but the Middies failedl to make the other necessary point by inches. Springfield Unknowingly to the players, they played their last game when they defeated the over-confident Springfield team by a score of 13 to 0. In the first few minutes of play the Lingrel Men scored a touchdown by smashing line drives. Again in the last quarter the Middies scored. Ritter in the last quarter showed stellar ability and almost netted another touchdown. The Middies put up the best defensive battle of the year in this game. Six times the Wildcats were inside the 20 yard line, but the defense tightened and prevented a touchdown. Tiflin Due to adverse weather conditions the game between the strong Tifiin Home team and Middletown was postponed until some time in the future. It was so cold and snowy that a game was unthinkable. It surely will be a great scrap sometime between the two. I MI Page One Hundred Thirty-seven L ' fi --f l'ug1' Um' Hundrvd Thirty-fight if Page One H und-red Thirty-nine .

Our cap- tain's quick thinking pulled many a game out of the fire when it looked black for the Middies. Besides being a good defensive player, Chet could be counted on to be there with his share of the points. This is our captain's last year at M. H. S. and we will miss his ability in sports next year. TRUMAN GRAY Truman measures well over six feet tall, and every inch of his height has helped M. H. S. in turning in a successful basketball season. Gray's work at center has placed many of our games on the right side of the ledger. Our lanky pivot man specialized in work under the basket, and very seldom failed to take a rebound In the tourna- ment play Truman was a consistent scorer, and was a big factor in taking the Greene- men to the semi-finals. MERLE WENDT Regardless of the fact that he is only a Sophomore, Merle has already attained athletic fame. Merle possesses an accurate eye for the basket, and a brand of defensive work that marks him as a born basketball player. With two more years ahead of him in both sports Merle should fill his stripe arm to capacity. The Wendt family will long be remembered in M. H. S. for their willing spirit and good nature. Merle has brought much credit to M. H. S. by being chosen guard on the 2nd All Star A Team of South Western Ohio at Dayton Tournament. J. B. MCMANN J. B. hopped from quarterback on the football team to left forward on the basket- ball. This black haired boy, made a name for himself on the hardwood court. J. B. possesses a keen shooting eye, and many times in the past season he used it much to our advantage. We'll be looking for you next year Genz. PAUL LAWSON Lawson has the distinction of being the leading scorer in basketball as well as a good defensive player. Paul possesses a pair of '1 e es that are attracted to hoops, rm y especially basketball hoops. He is quick on nt his feet, and can outsmart the oppone most of the time. In the past season his outstanding scoring ability played a big art in the Middies' success. He has one P more year to further his athletic career. BILL LONG Bill's last name doesn't describe him very efficiently. Long proved that size isn't the only thing when it comes to playing good basketball. Although he did not perform as a regular, Bill always turned in a good game when he was called upon to replace someone. We'll miss Long's fighting spirit. X ffl? Page One Hundred Forty-three ff 1, Page One Hundred Forty-four P. G. BANKER P. G. disliked for his opponents to score baskets, and when he was inserted into the fracas, he kept the score at a minimum. Banker could also be depended upon to add a few points to the score. His ready smile, and happy-go-lucky spirit will be hard to replace next year. ART STRONG Art switched positions this year, and played at guard instead of center. Strong excelled in defensive work, and many of our opponents' low scores were due to his ability. Although Art did not play as a regular, he performed so admirably that he deserves to be called one. Next year Strong will undoubtedly fill a guard position, and we are certain that he can handle it to perfec- ion. JIM SPARKS Although Sparks was not a sensational player he showed a dogged determination, and when inserted into the fray gave a good account of himself. M. H. S. will miss this big Swede next year on both field and floor. Although he was not the outstanding player in basketball that he was in football, he always gave his best. GERALD HORN Our good looking football center surprised the Middletown fans and proved to have basketball as well as football ability. Jerry performed equally well at guard as forward, and when called upon to replace a regular he always delivered the goods. Horn will be back next year, and you can bet that he will add' some more stripes to his left arm. ,fb Sr Kneeling, left to fright:P. G.

BASKETBALL SUBS Too frequently all the credit of a win is given to those who play, and too often we forget the many days that the subs came out to give the first team stiff opposition. Just as no show is complete without a side plot, so it is with our teamg the subs give the backing to the first team. Their scores in the preliminaries showed up their ability and now let's all give them a big hand and wish them lots of succcess in the future.

Springfield 6 15 323 228 Franklin The Middies opened their court season by an easy win over Frankling the score being 29 to 8. Franklin was unable to break through the Pur-White newly inaugurated zone defense. Franklin sank one free throw to take the lead but soon the Middies got working and rapidly scored 4 points by successive trys. In the second quarter the Middies scored 9 points by successive plays from the tip-off. The third quarter the visitors resorted to long shots and held the Middies, each side making 7 points. Again in the fourth quarter the Purples made 9 points. Franklin at no time threatened the Greenemen. Lawson, a new forward, led the scoring list with 9 points and was closely followed by Long, who tallied 5. Greenville Middletown received its second consecutive victory in as many nights by defeating Greenville 22 to 6. The Middies took an early lead and maintained it throughout the fray. When the half ended the locals were ahead 12 to 1. Gray and Chet Wendt led the scoring by chalking up eight and seven' points respectively. The Greenville team, although hopelessly beaten from the start, put up a fighting game until the final whistle blew. Greenville was held to a lonely tally until near the end of the game when by virtue of two long shots and another foul they pushed their score to six points. The work of the Wendt brothers was again outstanding. Hughes The Middies' hope for a perfect season was deflated when the Big Reds from Hughes handed them their first defeat by a score of 21 to 14. Hughes maintained a safe lead throughout the tussle, and held the Greenemen's scoring punch in check. Things just wouldn't click for them and the Big Reds seemed to get all the breaks. Withrow The Middletown five chalked up their third victory of the year over Withrow, by a score of 23 to 7. Lawson led' the scoring for the evening, ringing up four field goals. The zone defense again worked to a perfection and held our opponents to a lone foul shot until near the end of the game. This was! one of the cleanest games played so far this yearg there were only three fouls called. Miamisburg The Middies began the New Year right by handing Miamisburg a 14 to 12 defeat. A curious feature of the game was the fact that all the points were scored by the guards, Chet and Merle Wendt. These two accounted for seven points a piece. Miamis- burg put up a stiff battle and- came near upsetting the Purple five. Eaton The Middies journeyed to Eaton to gain revenge for two straight defeats at the hands of Eaton. A fine brand of basketball was played by both teams although the Middies held the upper hand in the defense by forcing the Eaton lads to shoot from a great distance from the hoops. The lead changed hands at least eight times and the game was so exciting that the crowd was kept in constant uproar. The Middies finally came out on top with a score of 21 to 18. Western Hills Again the Greenemen win, this time at the expense of the Western Hills quintet. The locals came through with a 23 to 11 victory. Though the visitors gave very stiff opposition in the first half, they could not keep up the stiff pace set by the local five. The defense of the Greene five was very good, and Lawson, the Middie forward, came through with 12 points. Page One Hundred Forty-six Norwood January 16 followed January 15, and Norwood visited Middletown to try to take her second victory in two years. The game waxed fast and furious and at no time was either team certain of a win. During the last quarter the Greenemen managed to forge ahead a little and break the tape in front of the Cincy team to win by avcount of 19 to 17. Springfield On January 23 the Middies played host to Springfield. Coach Greene's cohorts had .hoped to break the winning streak of the Reaper City five, but when the smoke cleared away Springfield was on the long end of a 15 to 6 score. The Pur-Whites' inability at the free throw line was one of the main factors in the defeat. Xenia Following their defeat by Springfield, the Purples entertained' Xenia on January 30. The Central boys had' a hard time getting started, and the Middies piled up enough points to coast into home with a 26 to 15 victory. Last year Xenia trimmed the Greene- men, and this victory sweetens the sting of that defeat. Portsmouth One of the most exciting games of the season was played on February 6 when the Greenemen defeated Portsmouth 8 to 7. For a while it looked as though the Trojans would take home the bacon, but with a matter of seconds to play and the score 7 to 6 in favor of Portsmouth, Lawson dribbled half the length of the floor and dropped in a one-handed shot to place the Middies out in front by a one point margin. Roosevelt Following their sensational win over Portsmouth the Greenemen traveled to Dayton to tackle Roosevelt. The Teddies lacked something important in the encounter, and when the final gun cracked the Purples were on the long end of a 37 to 20 score. Captain Wendt and McMann led the scoring with fourteen and twelve points respectively. Marietta The Middies came through with another win, this time defeating Marietta 19 to 13 in a hard fought tussle. Both teams used the zone defense, but the Middies seemed to be better at smothering the opponents' attempts at the basket. In the first half the Greenemen piled up such a high score that the Marietta team was unable to catch up. Truman Gray came through as high point man and showed excellent playing by follow- ing up his teammates' shots. Steele In the game against Steele we were on the short end of a 15 to 12 score. The teams fought on an even basis during the first quarter, both ringing up 4 points. At the half, Steele held a nine to four lead, and in the third a twelve to six advantage. The Pur- White cohorts showed a sudden burst of speed in the fourth stanza, but it was too late to cut down the lead. Springfield Springfield's jinx over the Middies was kept intact when they handed the Greenemen a second defeat in one season by a count of 10 to 15. Doughman, a sawedeofi' forward, proved that size doesn't count and kept the net sizzling with well placed shots. The Purple five stayed on even terms with the Reaper City outfit, but were unable to close up the gap at the finish. Zanesville As a fitting climax to a very successful season the Middies administered a 35 to 23 clubbing to Zanesville. The Purple's tip-off plays worked like a well-oiled machine, and they were soon out in front where they stayed. Zanesville brought a big team with an gcgurate eye for the basket, but couldn't break through the Purple's air-tight zone e ense. Tournament The Middies upset the dope bucket and traveled farther in the sectional tourna- ment than it was predicted they would. At Cincinnati they smothered Wilmington and Woodward, and gained the right to contest at Dayton. After defeating Sidney in a breath-taking battle, the Greenemen met their Waterloo at the hands of Hamilton. Our old rivals kept their jinx intact and again killed the hopes of a Middie championship. a ,JN Sf l Page One Hundred Forty-seven I uyr' Unfr Ilmfrlrwfl l m'ly-1'l'yl1! -, ...S 'vitae--tl, if nge-,. 4 ' If 'f V -A' ,Q L . :iff-I.:-LF' :sy -,. f. - .4 Girls' Athletics As usual, basketball semed to be the outstanding sport this year in girls' athletics. Real sportsmanship and clean playing were shown throughout all the games. Although inter-scholastic games are not allowed for the girls, the inter-class games proved to be a huge success. The Seniors played against the Juniors in a preliminary game to the last boys' game. The Juniors won by a two point lead. The Juniors won the class championship. They won every game they played. They kept up their fighting spirit and determination, which, along with their good pass-work and cooperation, went a long way in conquering their foe. The Juniors played under the captainship of Mary Knepshield. Each class had two teams. Two captains were elected from each class and they chose their respective teams from those who tried out. The teams were as follows: f Sf Senior Teams Geraldine Anderson, Captain . Margaret Lamson, Captain Melba DuVall Katherine Miley Elsie Campbell Geraldine Raines Florence Billet .

Much enthusiasm was being shown and lively tournaments were being anticipated. Page One Hundred Forty-nina I+?

The afternoon was bright, but not half so bright as the faces of jubilant young men and women who streamed out of the building in gay apparel and exuberant spirits. The birds carolled blithely, but not half so blithely as these youngsters who rejoiced in their liberation, who felt conscious of their youthful strength. None saw a venerable old man who lingered on an outer step except he who was last. And he, who seemed the very personification of Youth, tarried a moment to talk with the ancient Hgure. f'Wh come ou here, old man? asked Youth . . . erha s to live a ain Y Y P -P - g the days of long ago . . . or perhaps to recover some fleeting reflection of a once joyous reality?,' No, Youthf' replied the ancient. Always I am here. I have walked this earth since life began. And I shall dwell here until the last faint spark is extinguished? You . . . you . . . must be Life, thenf' stammered Youth. I have never come face to face with you before. What would you with me?', This, and nothing more, oh proud and stalwart Youth: You walk the way that I have journeyed many times. Only you shall travel it but once. Heed not the inviting bypaths of folly and ill-doing. They promise much but fulfill little. Look not upon that glittering and low-hanging star that beckons beyond the moldering ruins of selfishness. Shun as you would a pestilence the guileful siren that would lead you to false glory over the shattered aspirations of your fellows. Three good and loyal servants I give you to light the way and share your burden-Honor, Fidelity, and Deter- mination. There lies the road. And with these words, the old man hobbled away. Night settled over the great hall of learning and enveloped the meditating youth. But his mind was tranquil and his vision clear. Unselfish purpose gleamed in his eyes, and high courage coursed through his veins. He threw back his shoulders, raised his eager face to the evening star, and strode confidently into the future.

Honorable Hot Dog Not a Vagitable The banana are a great remarkable fruit. He are constructed in the same architectural style as the honorable sausage. Difference being, skin of sausage are habitually consumed, while it are not advisable to eat rapping of banana. Perhaps are also intrissing the follow- ing differences between the two objects. Banana are held aloft while consuming, sausage are usually left in reclining posi- tion. Banana are first green in culler, then gradually turn yellowish. Sausage start out with indefinite culler fresemble terrier cottaj and retain same hue in- definitely. Sausage depend for creation upon human being or stuffing mochine, while banana are pristine product of hon- orable mother nature. Both articles re- semble the other in that neither have pit or colonel of any kind. In case of sausage both conclusions are attached to other sausages, honorable banana on opposite hand are joined on one end to the stem, other termination are entirely loose.

They kept their windows' closed at night And shunned the use of water, They loved to hunt, adored to fight And revelled in the slaughter. The people of those early days Would doubtless think us futile, The speed and fury of our ways To them would have seemed' brutal. Our submarines would terrify, Our aircraft would' amaze themg Our jazz their souls would mortify, Our motor cars would daze them. They wouldn't swap on any terms Their quiet age for now 5 They'd rather dare all kinds of germs Than live in such a row.
