They had a common l-anguage, religion, and cul- ture and were envied by other nations. Because their lands were fertile and their resources copious they were susceptible to frequent attacks from their enemies. With steadfast zeal they easily defeated all toes and finally, their valor being unreputed, men no longer dared to contest with them. Then came a period in their history that far excelled the culture of former ages- Still today the eloquence of their accomplishments is such a revelation of beauty that men doubt that it ever can be rivaled or excelled. But, with- standing the fact that the ancient splendor seems invincible, we have found in our school a modern example which might truly have a place in line with that exotic, antique beautyl -Dorothy Gump Page 2 E UTY UEEN The most beautiful senior in Wil- liams Countyl That's what they are saying about our Virginia Gabriel, who brought honor to herself and to her school by being crowned queen of the annu-al Horse Show at Bryan over more than half a score of con- testants from all of Williams County.

Some say it is an all-pervacling presence which unfolds to the numberless flowers of spring, that it waves in the branches of the trees and in green blades of grass, that it haunts the depths of the earth and the sea, and gleams out in the hues of the shell and the precious stone. And they see not only these minute objects but the ocean, the mountains, the clouds, the heavens, the stars, the rising and the setting sun, all overflowing with beauty. The l937 class of Montpelier High School visualizes beauty personified by human relationship, mental growth, varied interests, physical vigor and Co- operation. With these thoughts paramount in mind we have tried to make this book an example of our theme. -Dorothy Gump Page 3 FOREWQR EAUTY is the shrine at which all mankind pauses to worship. There is a certain pulchritude in the advancement of civilization. Now we can look back upon the laborious efforts of our ancestors with gratitude- they have made our endeavors more simple, yet beset with difficulty to keep astride with the pace of the throngs marching onward to seek the obscure and magnetic realms of success. Life is like a fantastic drama, the background a beauteous one, depicting the hardships, dismal realities, the joys and exultations of our downfalls and triumphs. Every individual has a part, some of us will be privileged greater roles to play, these being allotted to us according to our integrity and adapt- ability. While others will be allowed only minor portions, every character is significant to make magnificent the forthcoming climax. When the great- est of all productions, the drama of Life is over and the curtain descends, may we be worthy of the jubilant applause of our followers. We have enjoyed compiling the major project of our High School career -the Mirror. The cooperation necessitated for this publication has been willingly granted, demanding closer associations in our sincere efforts to make this particular yearbook a commendable one and imprinting upon our minds an everlasting and beautiful memory of school life and friendships. We the class of '37 trust that it is granted your profound approval. -jack Weidner UDL-IUDH ZI2YL!'HQJN INCE we realize that the longing for beauty is the profoundest hunger of mankind, and its creation the loftiest ideal, We the Class of 1937 Dedicate this the l9th Volume of the Mirror to those Artists, Laymen, Teachers, and Parents who have ever held high the creative ideal of the True, the Good and the Beautiful before us, and imbued our very being with a desire to cultivate and ap- preciate aesthetic things. -Clinton Bartley Page 4 'LFZSALSEIEI GDL? 0 NTENTS Beauty oi l-luman Relationships Beauty oi Mental Growth Beauty oi Physical Vigor Beauty oi Varied Endeavors Beauty oi Cooperation UB relationship, mental development, physical strength and varied endeavors form one huge cycle, around which human lite .centers These factors enable our ideals to be actualized and cause our base intrigues to banish.

Al- though constructed aimlessly, these tales involved the very fiber of the race which they exemplified, and therefore they stand before us today as an ac- curate account of the lives of our ancestors before us. There is one of the Greek stories of which I am tremendously fond because it holds in store such a grand philosophy. This is the story of Pul- lux and Castor, two brothers who held a boundless esteem for each other. These boys were noted for athletic skill and they entered upon all unknown paths together. Their hopes and ideals were the same and they dismounted each task only after a complete victory. Then one day they had to sum- mon their courage and go forth into battle. Still together they strove, but fate would take its course and Castor was fatally wounded. Pollux, incon- solable for the loss of his brother's life-since he knew life to be a thing too beautiful to lose--be- sought the King of Gods, that he might be permit- ted to give his own life as a ransom for him. lup- iier so far consented as to allow the two brothers to enjoy the boon of life alternately, passing one day on earth and the next in heavenly abodes. As I have said, I like the philosophy embodied in this legend, for it shows that the Greeks had found the art of living and realized its worth. It seems all the more symbolical to me since I think we have wandered upon hasty and heated days and are intensely over powered by the God of Swiftness and Greed. Too many of us accept flashing pictures of life for life itself and therefore miss all beauty on they way, we hasten here and there, and having arrived, rush away again with- out gaining our purpose. To be still awhile and breathe of the beauties of life would be good for all of usl By this I do not mean mental stagnation nor lazy contentment, but life more deeply thought about, and more intensely realized. For it is cer- tain that our grasp of life is in direct proportion to the variety and warmth of the way in which we consider it. Where there is no thought, there is no beauty and no joy. There are so many ways by which we are able to enrich our lives, and therefore enhance the lives of those about us. I speak of comely things and intangible beauties such as every man might share. We all know that wealth and power can secure many things which are not available to the poor and humble man. Yet in life there are bound- less treasures of beauty that are open to the rich and poor alike, these are to be had for the asking and although no amount of money can purchase them, they are ever at hand for people who have the eyes to see and the minds to comprehend them. I believe that Ruskin, a famous nineteenth cen- tury essayist, very well summed up these intangi- ble treasures in what he termed the Seven Lamps of Architecture. I-Ie believed these Seven Lamps to be Sacrifice, Truth, Power, Beauty, Life, Memory, and Obedience. The first of these is one of the most common, and surely one of the most necessary. Every day presents to us a chance to sacrifice either for the benefit of others or ourselves. For those of us who cannot see the beauty in the sacrifice of a mother for her child, in the sacrifice of one friend to an- other or in sacrifice for the cause of any loved one, life still holds this vision in store. And truth is so closely connected to sacrifice, because it involves all those principles which are necessary to gener- ous living. By this I mean that any man is gener- ous who is truthful to himself and those about him. For truth invariably wins, and where licentiousness brings defeat, truth shall set you free. Power is one characteristic that can either bring beauty into a man's life or bind him up in the bounds of eternal misery. But usually its pul- chritude is victorious for if a man knows power, then he believes in his own convictions and he knows in what things he is strong. Thus to know your own mind, and realize when your ideals are truly great is an asset which any one might avail himself of if he can only conquer his soul and have power within him. I shall pass over beauty and life, for as I have already said beauty is ever present, and we all know life a thing to come unsought. Now memory is a blessing with which many of us are not en- dowed. But this is a fault of no one but ourselves since memory must be cultivated and matured. Yet once obtained memory proves itself to be of infinite value for so much beauty might be brought into our lives by recalling those pleasant past experiences and happenings. Lastly, obedience is a thing which we all should strive to nourish in our being. Obedience has such a scope and includes so much but one of its greatest meanings is obedeince to self. Still I would add another to Buskin's list, for it is one which, in my mind, seems to dominate the others. This is the companionship that we find in our friends and acquaintances. If a day passes in which we have exchanged no friendly greeting, nor given a word of comfort or sol-ace to a fellow- man-that day is wasted indeed. My heart cries out to those who in their moment of despair have had no one close enough to bring them bliss from their worldy trouble. What greater form of beauty can we know than that which is stimulated by human re- lationships? And now I have given my prescription for finding beauty in living. If it only touches one single human and brings them into a fuller life, I shall be satisfied! Dorothy Gump, Editor Page I2 PERRY FQAULKNER A. I. BROWN, Pres. THE BACKGROUND OF AN EDUCATION The subject of any successful picture must be presented against a fitting background, the melody of a song is enriched by its ac- companiment, a drama is not complete With- out a proper setting, likewise in summarizing the traditions and standards of our chools, We cannot fail to recognize the background against which they are presented. This background is our Board of Educa- tion. lt is their selection of an efficient Fac- ulty, their loyal support of the student body, their advancement of a Curriculum includ- ing a Wide range of subjects, and their Well organized control of school and finance which allows our school to appear as a complete and potential unit. While We exalt our school and our schol- astic achievements, We scarcely think of the ever-ready assistance Which they offer us. But We are grateful for their interest and en- couragement and it is our aim as students to be found Worthy of their jurisdiction and support. -Vivian Briner DR. L. H.

A. Honors-Pi Gamma Mu Understanding, sincerity, and dependability are the qualities which all the students admire in our Superintendent, Mr. Moffitt. ln the classroom his pres- ence dominates and inspires the scholars to develop their power of reasoning, to balance their minds, and to look at all problems, mathematical or other- wise, from a practical and scientific viewpoint. He has the ability to understand the construction of human natures and to psychologically analyze the thoughts of those with whom he comes in daily contact. He is unsurpassed in force and fitenss for his responsibilities and has the unrivaled gift of succinct and trenchant speech. One explanation is sufficient. He possesses a keen and an alert mind which gives him the power of immediate observation, sudden yet well thought decision, and readiness of comprehension. Those who are graduating and those still in high school fully appreciate and express their gratitude to him for his remarkable guidance and leadership. Mr. Moffitt has a great load upon his shoulders, yet he never wavers or falters for his infallible intellect causes him to have vigor and richness of re- source. He is urbanely plastic and versatile. -Carlin Abend SOLVING A PROBLEM -Willis Hoadley -Maurice Gregg -Mr. Moffitt Page 14 H. M. SHAEFFER, Principal it' Department-Algebra Home-Montpelier, Ohio School-Heidelberg College, Tiffin, Ohio, Ohio State University Degrees-A. B. A wise knowing quality and a stabilizing force characterizes Mr. Shaeffer. He is never disturbed from his seemingly usual calm state of mind. l-le is one upon whom the students feel they can go to for advice and know that every detail of their problem is being given due consideration before a wise answer is given them. Mr. Shaeffer welcomes every new student to high school and because he teaches Algebra, becomes acquainted with them upon their arrival. 'His magnetic personality and subtle humor keeps his classes interesting and thoroughly enjoyable. l-le is always willing to lay aside his own tasks to help the pupils over their ponds of difficulty to the safe shore. Teaching a theoretical subject as Algebra gives him a strong reasoning power which has aided him in his problems as Principal. Many duties rest upon him but he attends to each one individually, giving his undivided at- tention to each duty unstintingly. Surely we all agree that Mr. Shaeffer is a commanding and powerful figure in our faculty. We appreciate his undying loyalty. -Carlin Abend BAR OF IUSTICE --Mr. Shaeffer -Willis l-loadley Page l5 REID RNS GDL? H DONNA H.

BURNS Although Miss Burns for many years has given her un- divided attention to the mastery of Literature in the upper classes of the High School, she has especially favored the Seniors with her never erring and unfaltering aid. The in- numerable activities which she directs so successfully cer- tainly proves her to be one of the great factors in the progress of the school. Truly it would suffer without her. MARIORIE L. HETI-I Regardless of the fact that Miss Heth's English and His- tory classes involve diligence and all her students do not comprehend, she ever maintains an admirable patience. Always striving to present subjects that each may clearly grasp them, she employs a sense of humor that now and then brightens up the gloom of school life. WALTER W. FABEN Mr. Faben is a favorite of all students. His sincere and placid character merits all admiration placed upon him. During his time as teacher in this school he has established a reputation for keeping both his English and French classes alive with his inexhaustible supply of knowledge and gen- eral information. sity Activities -- Girls' Basketball Coach, Freshman Class Ad- visor RUTH RICHEY CWEBERD Although one of the busiest members of our faculty, for she supervises Latin and English courses as well as acting as the school librarian, Miss Richey efficiently per- forms all duties as though they Were but mere tasks. Her dependability and her interest in every worth while cause have made her a valuable asset to the school. DOYLE G. SWANSON Willing, able, and comprehensive, Mr. Swanson has a way of putting vitality and life into the dull sounding word History, Well versed in his subject he has little difficulty in transferring his meanings. He is noted for his fairness and equality among the students. His classes are made more interesting by current topics and lively discussions. DALE V. SWANSON Mr. Swanson has long enjoyed immense popularity with all the students of M. H. S. His rare -.sense of humor, which is always in evidence, has no doubt had a great deal to do with this. A former star athlete himself, he still loves all forms of athletics. We all appreciate this fine character and may he continue in our midst for many years to come.

He makes his classes a pleasure and puts himself on the same level with the pupils. He has taken the dullness out of the study of typewriting, shorthand, and bookkeeping with his many uplifting and inspiring talks. KATHRYN SHARP A charming personality and a genuine character, com- bined with vast abilities both as a teacher and leader, Cl gracious little lady who is known to be a true inspiration and a willing advisor in the problems which girls bring to her--this is Miss Sharp. These qualities are the factors which so efficiently qualify her to be our advisor of the Girl Reserve Organization. K. N.

He has a pleasing yet con- vincing manner which draws from his students the very utmost of their ability. May we wish Mr. Radenbaugh the very best of luck in his future years at M. H. S. LOUISE LATTANNER Miss Lattanner probably enjoys one of the most inter- esting fields of study in the school, for she has served during a period of years as the Music and Art directress. Because of her humor and patience she is well liked by her students. The two departments have participated in varied programs and have accomplished many lovely things with the aid of her instruction. SCHOOL BUS School students are unanimous in their verdict that school buses are a boon to rural students and save much worry and anxiety on the part of parents. Page l 7 OFFICE STENOGRAPHER Our school stenographer, better known as Laura, is truly an optimist and a nec- essary individual in our plant. That sweet smile which greets us, is sincere and gen- uine and we feel that we can speak with the utmost confidence under all conceiv- able circumstances. She keeps the even tenor of her way, taking care of corre- spondence, tabulating grades, meeting visitors, and a legion of tasks, that seem never too many for her willing hand. She is a graduate of Iackson Business College and well prepared to fill the posi- tion in a capable manner. -Winona Kaufman Laura Bevier. Office Secretary ELMER STRAYER Mr. Strayer for twenty-two years has opened the doors of a clean well kept school to an onrushing mob of students. ln the evening he closes these doors behind them only after the building is in shipshape for the next day. From the well kept shrubbery to the most hidden nook everything is kept in order. Many say that cleanliness is next to Godli- ness and Mr. Strayer has put this theory into practice so as , to make the surroundings as enjoyable as possible to the -' students. He spends most of his time thinking and helping the student body in every way possible. He is the one who gives the facial, manicure, and shave to the building. His genial disposition and willingness to help everyone makes him very well liked. -Harold McFann Elmer Sf1'UYe1'f Cusmdian TOKENS CF AFFECTION VV e are indeed grateful for the many gifts, that have so generously been ours to enjoy this year and express our hearty appreciation to our friends who were so thoughtful. Mrs. N. G. Lash has painted her yearly gift of the class rose, to be placed with the senior picture in the High School Hall. She has also remembered each of the seniors and High School Faculty, with a de- scriptive card, showing the date of commencement, class flower and class colors. Ville de Paris, a yellow rose, which is the senior class flower is predominating on the card. With this years gift it brings the number above one thou- sand. Mrs- Lash has won the heartfelt thanks from all concerned in the Montpelier High School. Silk Flags were donated to the Grade School by the Women's Relief Corps. The W. C. T. U. gave to our High School Library a book entitled, What About Alcohol? Mr. E. M. Riggard has for years prepared and pre- sented a picture of the Senior Class to be hung in the hall and has done so again this year. He truly deserves much praise and thanks. Mr. Moffitt has presented the High School Library with subscriptions to several of the leading magazines. The High School Mother's Club has also contributed many of the worthwhile magazines. Mrs. N.

COURSES OF STUDY IN MONTPELIER HIGH SCHOOL Intellectual capacity is increased through many and varied channels. Our school offers five avenues of approach by which the student may choose that which seems to best fit him for his chosen career, an innovation of the modern school system. From the prepared chart, one may easily see what is provided in each course and justify the selection. We know those who follow in the classical or science field will be the potential adminis- trators of the professional and technical world. For those whose circumstances or inclinations do not allow specific training, We have the general course which will equip them suitably to become good citizens and loyal members of their community. lf you strive to business heights, you may successfully acquire nearly all that is needed for an initial step in the commercial field. ' No longer do we use the hit or miss formulae for the perpetuation of home life but through scientific experiments and formulae we are enable to take the guess work out of living and in this Way make the World a better place in which to live with training offered through the Smith-Hughes and Home Economic Departments. -lane A. Bible STATE INSPECTOR APPROVES SCHOOL Following a recent inspection of Montpelier High School by F. M. Shelton, High School Supervisor of the Ohio Department of Education, the following report has been issued: Many classes were visited and the work carefully evaluated. As a whole the teaching observed is above average in quality. Your schools enjoy competent leadership. A good program is offered and the results secured are very satisfactory. At the annual meeting of the North Central Association of Colleges and Secondary schools in Chicago last week, Montpelier High School was unqualifiedly approved for continued membership in the association. G. H. Reavis, Chairman. Page 19 lane Bible IT HAPPENED TO ME Let me tell you of a trip I took immediately after graduating from high school. I went with my French-Canadian guide, lean Baptiste, into the part of Canada known as the Lake-of-the-Woods, so called because of the many lakes in the region, and attempted to find out if the great fish stories which come from there are true or merely figures of the native's imagination. I found out that they were very much the truth and while finding out I had an experience which reminded me of my classmates which I had just left. I took a train from Montpelier to Quebec, where I was to pick up my guide. When I boarded the train I found that I had left my railroad ticket at home. But the conductor had a heart as big as a barn and did not put me off. Thank you, Mr. BARNI-IART, I said as he gave me a sly wink. When nearly in sight of Quebec I heard a hum- hing noise and looked out the train window. I saw a giant dirigible. Probably DE GROFF zeppelin, I thought, as it circled HINER and I-IINER into the air. The loud TINGLEl TINGLEV' of the engine bell then awoke me to the fact that we were pull- ing into the station. A momen later I spied lean and hailed him. When he heard the story of the lost ticket he exclaimed, ZACI'IRICI'I, and laughed long and loud. Then lean explained that he had a friend that he wanted me to meet. UBOYER girl? I wanted to know. Neither, said lean, as he showed me his pet turtle which was to accompany us on our trip. 'lLYKINS? he asked. Not caring for turtles in the least, I prompt- ly told him that he was certainly being a GUMP. The next day we rode to our camp in the Lake- of-the-Woods region. Now I hadn't expected a BAUER of roses upon my arrival but I certainly didn't expect to find what I did. The weather had played havoc with my cabin. There were holes in the roof the size of a pelican's BEEK, the floor boards were loose, and in general it was badly in need of repair. But we came for a rest and were not to be beaten by such a minor calamity. We forgot the damages and while lean went outside and began SHOUPing wood with the axe I had bought from SEARS and Roebuck, I prepared our supper of flapjacks made from that good old Hin- KLE's flour. Once I looked out at lean and he reminded me of the Village BlackSMITH who owned the brawny arms. When supper was ready, lean came in and complained of soreness of his hand from swinging the heavy axe. I looked at his hands for a mo- ment and then exclaimed, Why, that's CI-IAP, MAN. However, his chap did not prevent him doing a good job on the wheatcakes. Later on that evening lean saw what he sup- posed to be a strange bird and called my atten- tion to it. I gave it a good look and immediately exclaimed, Why that's a ROBIN, SON, and chided .lean for his stupidity. Early the next morning I awoke and prepared to do battle with the wily fish of the lake. The weather was very RAINY but I didn't care and immediately ran down to the BEACH to give the lake the once over. The water was being Mc- EANNed by a light breeze which sent tiny ripples upon the sand shore. It looked alright to me so I rushed back, awakened lean, and we headed for our favorite fishing grounds. I recognized the spot before we came near it and couldn't resist a lusty HDARR it isl When we dropped anchor Iean knocked his reel overboard and very quickly said things contrary to the BIBLE. It was BARTLEY your fault and BARTLEY mine, I explained. I didn't fasten it securely to your rod. After an hour of no marked success we opened our lunch of CLARK, O HENRY, and HERSHEY bars and refreshed ourselves. Immediately after lunch I changed baits and on the first cast hooked a big one. I could have COPEd with it better on LAND but after a long and bitter struggle I got him up next to the boat where with his BAER hands lean pulled him in. It turned out to be an enormous Pike, weighing over fifty pounds. It was then that lean looked upward. Black clouds were rolling across the sky. lean was known as a very WISe MAN so he exclaimed, WALLACE get out of here. Sure SINES of a storm, he shouted as he attempted to start the MOTTER. No sound came from it save a few short coughs. That was when we RADLEY needed a motor. A fine time for it to STAI-IL on us, I muttered as I began to thing of GREGG yards and imagine I heard GABRIELS trumpet and think what a KRILL, KRILL world this is. Finally it started and we sped for camp. As the boat ap- proached the shore lean leapt from it with my prize and shouted, PARKER beneath a tree, and hurried to the cabin. When I joined them there I found he h-ad sup- per, which was a MIXTER of fish and BROWN bacon, waiting for me. While I was eating, a bone became lodged in my throat. HKAUF, MAN! KAUF, MAN! he shouted, as he pounded me on the back. When I was BRIM full of fish I called it a day and retired to my bunk, thinking what a RICH MOND I am. By the way, I still have the head of that mighty fish and if you will only come up to my GARRETT some day I will gladly show it to you. O'CONNELL you under- stand what I have been talk- ing about?

Later as the season advances nature enters into a more mature state of development. At this time she appears more beauttul than ever, for all of her glories lay open and they shed sweet fragrances and shadowy rays on more inanimate objects. When youth is in its spring its heart and mind are eager and ready to be nourished by the fertility of education. The students of Montpelier High are revolving through this period, and each year a class surmounts, which has blossomed fully and is ready to spread its radiant gleams of knowledge on the world about. Surely all intelligent students shall accom- plish this aim, for it is the cosmopolitan man that prospers and inspires. And then, when the whole world shall View the accomplishments of those people who have enlarged their capacity for learning, shall we acknowledge the beauty in mental growth and development! -Harriette Henry Harriette Henry Page 22 SENIOR CLASS OFFICERS Left to Right: Victor Thorpe, Treasurer, Miss Burns, Advisor, Virginia Gabriel, Secretary, Eugene Hershey, Vice President, Clinton Bartley, President. FORWARD INTO BATTLE Seek Careers in Different Fields The channels of industry and livelihood which we follow are varied and numerous. Indeed, they must be, for each individual requires a different course. God has so planned land with greatest wisdom, tool the human race that no two people are alike, neither in physical characteristics nor in those endowments of mind through which each of us is fitted for a purpose. God has given each of us a special work to do. lt is our duty to mankind to enlarge our talents and to devote our lives to the betterment of the world in which we live. This duty, we, the Senior class of nineteen hundred and thirty seven, have endeavored to keep foremost in our minds. This duty we have more keenly realized as we prepare to take our place in our own particular realm, as have the classes who preceded us. Few there are among us who will attain those heights of which we dream. They are only a part of our fancy, but still, are vital factors in maintaining good morals and worthy ambitions. Yet it is far better to live a good life, a beautiful life, and a wholesome life. Our careers are ahead of us, yet school life for many will be over when we receive the diploma of our achievement. Therefore, let us glance back- ward for a moment over that part of the road which we thus far have trav- elled. Surely we are but started on a long and vigorous journey. The start- ing point in our learning is almost as obscure as the path stretching onward into the future. Little else of anything which pertains to the growth of our ideals and ambition can be found except those which we fostered during our school days. Through eight years of primary and elementary training, and through four years of high school we have cultivated our hopes and desires. Talents have been displayed in numerous fields, on the football field, on the basketball floor, in dramatics, of which we took part in our Iunior year when we successfully presented Penrod and Sam. This year we are looking proudly forward to the publication of our Annual and to the Senior play. Lastly, and with many a heartache, we are about to experience something new in life-the time when we must leave our happy school days and face the prospect of realizing the dreams we have cherished for so long. lt will not be an easy task. Indeed some will perhaps fail. Yet the education of which we have been offered a generous portion, will, we hope, keep each and everyone of us, from wandering from our true course.-Martha Stickney Page 23 CLINTON BARTLEY, IR.

Clinton came into our midst late but was received with open arms by his classmates. His likeable appearance and manners make him friends easily. Clinton loves boxing, the man's game. He has traveled extensively through the States and attended four schools during his high school career. His physical strength, mental capacity and genial disposition make him an ideal character. EUGENE WILLIAM I-IERSHEY Most of us picture those of the scientific world as being dull, droll, and dreary. But Eugene Hershey, our scientific wizard, is a gallant exception to the rule. He has a per- sonality which reminds one of the' proverbial after-dinner speaker: jovial, good-natured, and laughing always. So, good luck, Eugene, in your chosen field. VIRGINIA LEE GABRIEL Such a sweetness of nature as Virginia possesses is rarely found. Her winning smile has made many friends for her. Her charm, grace, and poise are admired by all. She is of a very simple nature, yet her simplicity accents her dignity. Virginia is planning on furthering her edu- cation in commercial Work. VICTOR F. TI-IORPE Vic is another of our class who is a little man with high ideals. He has a sparkling way about him that is hard to excel. I-Ie is an active participant in athletics and class affairs. Our efficient treasurer and an all-around regular fellow. His ambition centers in Agricultural En- gineering and we predict that his inexhaustible energy will bring for him its coveted reward in after years. WESLEY IACKSON The graduating class of 1937 reserves this space for Wesley Iackson, a member of our class who was unable to continue his studies with his fellow classmates. We miss not only his companionship but also his musical ability, but trust that in due time he may be permitted to resume his scholastic training. -Virginia Gabriel Page 24 ARLENE JOAN BAER Vtfaldron, Michigan Class l-2-3-4, Annual Board 4, Society Editor, Girl Reserves l-2-3-4, Latin League l-2, French Club 3-4, Glee C.ub l-2-3-4, Theta Epsilon l-2, Bas- ketball Interclass Tournament 2, 4H five years, placed 4th l.

Her loftiness and gracefulness are suggestive of a queen promenading before her admirers. Her pleasantness and all-around good humor has carved a deep niche in the hearts of all her admirers and friends. WILLIAM KIMBLE BABNHART Studious and energetic describes him in full. He is a leader in several of his studies and attributes it to his not being lazy. His sports are baseball and hockey. For a vocation he has chosen radio, a field very interesting to the inquiring mind. He firmly believes that the only way to find happiness is to succeed in a worth-while vocation. NOBMA BABTLEY Coming to us from Decatur, in one short year Norma has endeared herself to her classmates and has proved her ability to gracefully adapt herself to changing conditions. Shes peppy, she's willing, and she's competent-a person- ality which has added a charm and color to our class, which is infinitely worth her short stay with us. ALICE L. BAUER Alice has characteristics which make her singularly dif- ferent from others. Nothing seems to upset her and her mien and general outlook make her singularly majestic. To further boost her personality, she possesses the admirable trait of sincerity. With such a make-up she will always continue to hold her popularity. ROBERT L. BEACH Fleet as an arrow and possessing a world of endurance is the phrase which best describes him physically. Mentally he rates with the best of them in practically every field. Bobbie is a quiet individual nine-tenths of the time but like all of us he has his changeable moods. Where most of us would speak a dozen or more words, one or two at the most suffice for him. ln the field of sport Bobs best efforts go toward distance running, football, and golf. He carries his endurance onto the ice also, for he loves the game of ice- hockey. THUBLOW l. BEEK The ability of self control and a sympathetic under- standing are embodied in Thurlow's characteristics. He has made it a habit to practice the habits which will give him a fine foundation for manhood. Through a period of many years he has become acquainted with music and musical instruments, With a calm presence of mind he remains in- dependent of all worldy cares.

ELSIE MABLE BERMINGHAM Elsie Posseses the ability to appreciate the value of a true friend. She is understanding, sympathetic and sincere in her relation with others. Sincerity is one quality she admires most. In High School she has favored Typing, English and Shorthand. She really enjoys reading and dancing and spends much time listening to the radio. IANE ALICE BIBLE She is always ready for a good time but willing to put work before pleasure when necessary. lanes hobby is reading and working around books. She has been a stu- dent librarian during her high school years and is planning to further her Work in this field. She is willing to follow some one else's advice. RONALD A. BOYER Reserved, yet at times fun loving, Ronald has made many friends during his high school career. He is inter- ested in the study of Aeronautical and Deisel engineering and would like to continue his education along these lines. l-Ie is also interested in motoring and reading during his leisure time. VIRGINIA PAY BRIM A sort of eager, almost appealing amiability is Virginia's outstanding characteristic. Her happiness seems to be con- tagious for she is always able to elevate the spirits of those about her. Active in all sports and ready to win by fair play, is her motto. By her fine grades in science Virginia has proven her interest in this subject. She in- tends to enter into a career of beauty culture. MILDRED BRINER Mildred is a friend to everyone. She is sought not only because she is a willing listener but also because she is ready to aid in whatever way she can, Making the most of leisure time, Millie has found sewing to be a most prof- itable pastime. The commercial field, in which she excels, has been her fondest interest, and she hopes to continue her progress along this line. VIVIAN L. BRINER One of the golden twilights which transfigure the world is emulated in this character. She has much intellectual ability which is recognized by her classmates but that en- viable characteristic does not excel the beauty of her morals. Sincerity at all times and faithfulness to duty will help her to become a successful social service worker, since she has chosen that field for her life's work. Page 26 BERNARD A.

BERNARD A. BROWN The deepest wants and aspirations of his soul are rarely spoken, since he is very quiet and reserved. Yet his placid character and marvelous sense of humor has gained admiration for him among his friends. When on the basketball floor he proves to be a loyal and never tiring player, for basketball is his favorite sport. Bernard will probably combine Agriculture and Engineering and make a happy living. THEODORE CHAPMAN Ted's strong determination and exactness dominate not only on the athletic field, but over his life as a whole. Though jolly and carefree he can always be depended upon to carry out his tasks, no matter how great or small they may be. We predict a bright future for him in the business world, DAN I. O'CONNELL Life is short, so enjoy it while you may, is Dan's phil- osophy, and enjoy it he does. Cunning in his tricks, al- though revealing his guilt by a mischievous smile, we al- ways know it's Dan who did it. He possesses outstand- ing journalistic ability and his talent combined with his happy-go-lucky personality portrays a rare but pleasing combination-that's Danny, LORETTA SARAH CLARK Loretta posse-ses an extremely optimistic philosophy of life. She has a high scholastic standing and attempts to grasp all knowledge with which she comes in contact, She has pursued the commercial course while in high school, excelling in Shorthand. She plans to continue her educa- tion in the commercial field, aspiring to become a teacher of such subjects. FAITH LEONDA CLARK Always trying to see the bright and beautiful side of life, is a predominant characteristic in this individual. During her High School career she has enjoyed typing and shorthand and has devoted most of her time to these sub- jects. Her interests are centered around church Work and her aim is to see advancement in this particular field. VIRGINIA BELL COPELAND Virginia has a charming and vivacious manner which has made her one of the best-liked girls in school.

HENRY Another of M. H. Sfs worthy athletes must bid adieu to his Alma Mater. Even as Oscar's fine work on the athletic field will be remembered, so will his sportsman- ship and kindly cooperation linger in the minds of his classmates. HOWARD M. HINER Howard is a person with a high degree of humor. He has rnany friends and is well known around school. His witty sayings have given his classmates many a laugh and he is appreciated in the classroom: His interest is centered on the newspaper staff and he endeavors to be an asset to his work. HOYT B. HINKLE Hoyt is a boy who rarely mixes with his mates but rather prefers to remain aloof from the motley crowd. How- ever We know Hoyt and never mistake his aloofness as being up. Hoyt has commercial ambitions and if he carries the diligence which he has displayed in school into that field he has a sure chance of success. 1- Page 29 WILLIS I..

HOADLEY A whirlwind of humor plus a dignity and refinement, al- though a very unusual combination proves a very like- able personality in Bill. He is well liked among his scores of friends because of his ideal sportsmanship. He enjoys several outdoor sports and is interested and talented along the line of mechanics and electricity and this will probably prove an important factor when he chooses a career. WINONA KAUFMAN Some minds are like an open fire-communication with them are direct and instant. Winona is this type of a student. She is very eenrgetic and after her studies, finds much pleasure in dancing, swimming, or helping a friend. She is fun loving and always ready for a good time. Toni has been with us for only two years, but has undoubtedly proved her worth to us individually and, to the school as a Whole. EDNA MAE KRILL She's ready, she's willing, she's able, and what is more, she possesses both temperament and nature to make friends and to hold them. Edna Mae prefers to hide her scholastic abilities beneath a sly disguise of modesty which is neither self imposed nor assumed. She is a lover of art in every form-music, nature, and beauty. MIRIAM RUTH LYKINS Our Miriam's main passion is to be able to snuggle up in a chair with a good book and read away the hours. She spends many hours at this diversion and has gained more general knowledge from it. She is pleasing toward everyone and has many friends both in and out of school. HAROLD MCFANN, IR. Bus, as his pals call him, is one of few who is humor- ous in a rather serious way. He seems always to be jolly and having fun. His Witty personality is his one marked characteristic, and we have enjoyed his ability to infest joy among his schoolmates. He is a tireless worker, and can be seen early and late, doing the little tasks uncom- monly well. KEITH A. MILLER Keith reminds one of the chivalrous knights of old. His character is admired by his many associates and friends. He is the type of person who would succeed in the busi- ness world yet he has chosen to direct his efforts in the field of agriculture. Regardless of where he is his char- acter will be esteemed as a coveted prize.

Despite the great handicap of size Orly has been the joy of his coaches and the despair of his oppo- nents during his high school career. For his tour years of loyal support to his school he has a sheath of letters to show for them. He has won letters in every school sport in which he has participated. Outside of the athletic world, Orly has a fine personality and has as many firends as athletic letters. A great little fellow who will be remem- bered by everyone. HARRIET L. MOTTER Easily moved to gaiety and laughter is Harriet, but un- derneath her gay moods she has a serious heart. Her de- sire to help others in need is a trait that will do much in making her the capable nurse she wishes to become. She also possesses a sincere love for poetry and art. IOSEPHINE PARKER Although Iosephine is fond of teasing and joking with her friends, there is always a sober side too. She tries to see the nobler and more enriching phase of everything which conceals the poorer qualities. ln her spare moments you usually find her delving and prying between the cov- ers of some book. Reading Club 2, G. A. A. LESLIE E. PIKE Leslie is a great lover of nature and the out-of-doors. To be inside four walls for more than a short time serves to make him yearn to be out in the territory he loves. He is a versatile chap which gives him many different fields to enter.

SINES A timid little fellow balances his studies with his inter- ests in other fields. He enjoys sports and although he has not been on the field in so many of them, he has helped the teams by attending. Reuben takes a great interest in farming and is industrious in this occupation. DORIS IEAN SMITH Pert, exacting, and the super-refinement ot good taste, are the Words best describing Doris jean. She has shown these characteristics throughout her tour years of school for she wisely chose to take up the piano and is an ardent devotee of all styles of music, Doris lean is very business- like in all her dealings and has shown that she is one to he depended upon. May we Wish her success in the future. LLOYD R. STAHL Lloyd's very active nature has made him an essential part of his class. The pepper-pot of every gathering, his wily good nature has popularized him with everybody. A glance into his face will reveal a pair ot sparkling eyes and a broad smile. We predict that his personality will be a big help to him always. MARTHA STICKNEY Martha has excelled in her school work and is a leader in all her classes. She enjoys her work and takes pride in putting up her work in neat form. Iournalism appeals to her and We are sure that sometime she will reach her goal-Success. R.

He has been very interested in Music and has participated in this a great deal. As a Hi-Y mem- ber he has been very active. R. Bfs sense of humor shall no doubt carry him over many a rough road. KATHARINE ELIZABETH WALLACE Katharine appears to be a very reserved type of person until one knows her well. Sincerity is her most outstand- ing characteristic. She applies herself to her studies with the determination of seeing them executed with finis. Being of a very quiet nature she speaks sparingly and thoughtfully.

He is very interested in athletics and chooses farming for his vocation. Z years, President l year. LETTY MARIE WILLIAMS Thoughts as deep as an ocean and just as unfathom- able, characterize Letty. In rare moments the cloak of shy- ness is thrown off and a person few people know is dis- closed. She talks and acts according to the moods she is in. One moment her thoughts are in the clouds, and the next moment she is thoroughly discouraged. The world will never be disappointed in her contribution to society. OLEN L. WILLIAMS A quiet, efficient, and unassuming Willingness to Work has won for Olen an estimable place among his classmates. This same trait so admired by everyone will advance him a long way in his quest for success. As a hobby Olen has devoted his time to the development of his talent for music. Much of his popularity is undoubtedly due to his keen ability to appreciate a joke. MARGARET ANN WISMAN Regardless of the fact that Margaret possesses slow and resistless forces of conviction, once she makes a decision it proves to be infallible. She takes a deep interest in all of her studies and she has made the reputation of being a very dependable student. Page 34 IONE F.

School has been a huge opportunity for all, here We mount the first step in the long stairway of living, and from here, like an airplane after it has taken off, we must either rise higher or fall. Daily tasks have been placed before these students and they have been met faithfully. Beauty in uniformity of regular habits of study, and performing the little tasks daily has enabled them to accomplish these and extract a compli- mentary total at the final account of a four years' journey. Daily toil has added little by little, to the final achievement, and here, as a plowman glances back, pause, and attempt to measure the progress of our students. l-low deeply have they grooved the soil of education? Time has proved their steadfastness, as the sunflower always turns her face toward a rising sun, these pupils have ever turned their eyes to- ward the diligent work of daily study-and have achieved. -l-larriette I-lenry SENIOR SCHOLARSHIP TEAM Seated, left to right-William Zigler, lane Bible, Doris lean Smith, l-lrarriette Henry, Alice Bauer.

LONE STUDENT SEEKS EXTENSIVE KNOWLEDGE t There are a few young people who realize the necessity of furthering their education when the facilities for doing so are ever present to them. lt is only after this opportunity has been withdrawn that they are conscious of their mistake in believing that their need of more advanced knowledge ended with their l-l. S. graduation. During this school year, 1936-37 there is but one who has chosen to further seek advancement. Rosemary Osborn returned to our High School and is now taking a post graduate course. VV e feel certain that she will reap great benefits from her choice. -Doris lean Smith Rosemary Osborn Page 39 FIFTY-THIRD ANNUAL COMMENCEMENT Baccalaureate Sermon ...,.......,..,...,........... Rev.

PILOTS OF TOMORROW BID SENIORS ADIEU Feed Scholarly Curiosity The lofty limbs of the giant elm trees whispered softly to themselves in the cool summer breeze. Nature diligently cared for and grew these trees from small insignificant seeds to their tall, stately forms. They are serving a purpose in this world, the purpose of rendering beauty, peace, and sol- ace to humanity. They protect the weary trav- elers from the heat of the noontide sun, shelter them from driving rains, and afford them a place where they may lay themselves to sleep. Surely if man were to have the unselfishness and the bal- anced foundation of the tree, civilization would really mean culture and refinement. Man should build himself a mind and body and willingly give what he has accomplished to aid others over their difficulties. Could man but be like the tree, staunch and stable, that someone would be able to lean upon for security and comfort. Let knowl- edge stand magnificently and majestically, that it may spread its branches out over the universe. Now we are about to assume the responsibil- ities of the Senior class, to show some of our talents that have heretofore lay perhaps dormant within us. Time has claimed its tribute. A seemingly short time ago we came to high school, curious, anxious, wondering what next we could possibly learn, for to us knowledge seemed complete- A man as great and renowned as Emerson said, ln every man there is something wherein l may learn of him, and in that l am his pupil. This is a worthy inspiration to any student. Our eventful Iunior year with class play, Spooks, our treas- ure hunt, and the banquet is now over and we feel we are ready and capable to receive our new tasks. We owe our deepest gratitude to our Advisor, Mr. Faben and to the class officers: President, lohn Nichols, Vice-President, Richard l-lall, Secretary, Guy Connolly, Treasurer, Melba Tate. Pausing here before we continue on we ask God to make our lives as useful and as worth- while to humanity as the tree. -Carlin Abend IUNIOR ATHLETICS The Class of 1938 is truly proud to have its members so well represented in the various ath- letic departments, and it feels that they have done their part in making successful the teams on which they have been holding positions. Iuniors par- ticipating in Football were: Elbert Thompson, George lump, Tony Pignataro, Kenneth Doenges and Maurice Strayer. Of these Thompson, lump and Strayer received Varsity letters. Theo Man- ley and Thompson received Basketball letters. Vivian l-lauck, Louise Messner, Kathryn Bratton and Mary Makley all received letters in Girls' Basketball. Iuniors having reported for track are: George lump, Tony Pignataro, Charles Courtney, Wayne Lougheed, Theo Manley, Kenneth Doen- ges, and Iunior Marks. -Wayne Lougheed Page 4l LAST APPROACH BEFORE THE SETTIN Iohn Nichols Carlin Abend Kathryn Bratton Virginia Darr Vivian Hauck George Iump Richard Hall David Barnhart Estelene Brown Donald Davis Eldon Hawkins Ladyne Keller Melba Tate Guy Connolly Doris Beaumont Nelson Bloom Charles Courtney James Cox Margaret Dilworth Kenneth Doenges Raymond Herb Wauneta Hoag Laurice Kirk Mary Kirk IUNIOR CLASS PLAY, SPOOKS CAST OF CHARACTERS Elliott Butterfield ,,,,, ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, ,,,,,,,, .,,,,.,,,,. .

A vase in which is deposited a slip containing the name ot another of the party destined to die by violence is mysteriously shattered, and there are other spookish happenings that keep the nerves ot the audience taut and vibrant. The conclusion comes when Miss Brown, the secret agent, posing as a nurse discovers that Iudy isn't edaf or dumb and that Sam is her son, They have been doing all the mysterious things. The final curtain comes down on a happy ending.

The difficulty of going over them was made easy by the background they were now developing. They chose a leader to show them the Way.

By his side are his faithful aids: lohn Spencer, Kathleen Nichols, and Arlene Fisher.

The elementary teachers mould the wriggling mass of bewildered chil- dren with an enviable energy and zeal into an ample imposing edi- fice. lt is they who fashion a wielding disposition into an active, energetic being. Under their guiding hand pupils not only learn the fundamental subjects but are also assigned small tasks which tend to give a child self-confidence. This year has been especially pleasant to the five hundred am- bitious pupils because of the added attractiveness of their building which was accomplished by interior decoration. The newer, clean- er environment has filled the students with renewed energy and an ambition to continue their education. - Anyone who comes in Contact with a ' Marguerite Hoskinson. Principal teachers courteous, patient efforts will im- meidately recognize the fact that parents owe them a great debt. Through supervised teaching, pupils gain a better understanding of their associates and the problems that confront persons in a modern world. The pupils have actualized this effort on the various fields of endeavor, especially in sports. lust as in sculptoring, the finished object is most important and the beauty of the end result depends upon the first few mouldings, so is credit due the skill of the Principal, Miss l-lospinson, and her assistants who are moulding the first few Lillian Rune! years of a more abundant life.-Letty Marie Williams.

These extra curricular periods inspire interest and are made up only ot members who have chosen them because they enjoy them. ls there not beauty in versatility? In four years of high school eighty-tive per cent of the pupils in the country are building up the education that is to carry them through a life time. Beauty in varied endeavors comes to mean that the person who has many interests is a joy to know and accom- pany. Personality is acquired not by narrowness of thought but by a Wealth of activities, sports and mental developments. The varied endeavors in high school are to broaden the student and give him opportunity to seek his particular talent, to teach in an interesting manner that which is difficult and inanimate. Surely those who are active in the many school clubs shall be able to spread rays ot beauty by making more pleasant the lives ot those about them. -Faith Clark Page 54 ,L Front row, left to right-Orly Mixter, Richard Weaver, Charles Rainey, Bernard Brown, Robert Beach, Ruben Sines, Vernon Weis- enborn, William Barnhart.

AUTHORS AND CO-AUTHORS OF 1937 MIRROR Attempt To Make Pacemaker Any class has reached somewhat the horizon of its dreams, when it has been able to consummate a project that will be a lasting memorial of its being. True the way is long and the work sometimes tedious, but to anyone whose heart and soul is imbued with a love for creative endeavor nothing could prove more fascinating and interesting. ln a school that has so long won laurels nationally it is a much greater task to secure that which is new and intriguing and yet cling to the fundamental laws of good journalism. Our desire now is to not only have a book worthy of All-Ameircan but to include some innovation that may place it in the Pacemaker class. We appreciate the efforts and cooperation that has been shown by each member of the class as well as the under class assistants, who have no doubt learned much of the process of building. May we but trust that our efforts be worthy of con- tinued praise, and gain satisfaction in work well done. -Lloyd Stahl, Business Manager EXECUTIVE BOARD Seated- lack Weidner-Assistant Busi- ness Manager Letty Marie Williams-Treas- urer Doris lean Smith-Assistant Treasurer Miss Burns-Advisor Winona Kaufman-Secretary Virginia Gabriel-Filing Clerk Theodore Chapman-Assistant Literary Editor Standing- Victor Thorpe-Assistant Gen- eral Manager Thurlow Beek-Business Liter- ary Lloyd Stahl-Business Mana- ger Clinton Bartley-General Man- ager Page 55 Ill T ASSISTANT ANNUAL BOARD Front row, left to right-Wayne Louheed, Charles Courtney, Sara Betty Prosser, Carlin Abend, Margaret Ellen Teal, Alice Richmond, Kathryn Bratton, Dora Lee Iohansen, Kenneth Doenges, Guy Connoley.

THERE'S MUSIC IN THE AIR Blue Notes Everywhere People have always loved to sing. lt seems like a natural way of expressing happiness. Per- haps you have felt like shouting for joy when you have climbed to the top of a hill, or felt the wind in your face, or maybe, when you have heard some steady rhythmic sound you have found yourself humming a tune as you worked. Possibly in some way as this the earliest songs came forth. The man that has no music in himself, or is not moved with concord of sweet sounds, is fit for treason, stratagems and spoils, wrote Shake- speare, and while it must be admitted that he ex- aggerated and that many an excellent person has no love for music, it is nevertheless true that music should have a very real part in every life. A song in the air a song in our hearts, helps us to see the beauty which everywhere abounds. Goethe has written, A man should hear a little music, read a little poetry, see a fine picture every day of his life in order that worldy cares may not obliterate the sense of the beautiful which God h-as implanted in the human soul. We may love songs and enjoy singing, but a skilled instructor by their deeper knowledge and broader experience may lead us to a greater ap- preciation of the beautiful songs of famous com- posers. Realizing this M. H. S. has for a number of years sponsored a Gele Club, that has developed outstanding talent, which has served the com- munity in many ways. We are deeply appreciative of this organiza- tion for it is the song that lends to the sunlight a brighter hue and gives rhythm to the patter of the rain.

THE SONG IS ENDED The Melody Lingers On Music has been handed down from centruy to century. lt was begun at pagan religious cere- monies When the barbarians offered human sac- rifices to their gods. Music has power, force, and inspiration to revive the Weary soul and lift eye- lids, laden with Weariness to look toward the heavens, and cause haggard lips to part in a smile, perhaps of pleasant memories. Such is the power of music, blended harmony, and perfect accord. To that end the Girls' Glee Club is striving, to bring a bit of cultural training to the high school. Miss Lattanner has exerted every effort toward making our glee club a material school accom- plishrnent. To show our progress We proudly name the honors our members have Won, at the Annual County contest, held at the Fair Grounds, Betty Hall took first place in the soprano solo group, GIRLS' GLEE CLUB Front row-Ieanette Traut- man, Phyllis Boisher, Mar- garet Ellen Teal, Betty Baker, Alice Richmond, secretary and treasurer, Virginia Brirn, presidentg Margaret Guilinger, libra- rian, Dorothy Gump, Sara Betty Prosser, Doris lean Smith, Lynette Scharlow.

ORCHESTRA LEADS DOUBLE LIFE New Arrangement Highly Successful All interesting and successful organizations have some form of musical entertainment, like- wise, our school has a Music Department, of which the High School Orchestra is a part. Our able and patient instructress, Miss Lattan- ner, has devoted much of her time to the orchestra, not only during school hours but she has sacri- ficed many an evening so that the orchestra might progress. The orchestra rehearses regularly every Tues- day morning for a short forty-five minute period. ln preparation for public entertainments more time is allowed and we have practice in addition to the periods allotted in our curriculum. Also in the regular routine of the school the Orchestra plays for the assembly which is held every Wednesday morning.

The Orchestra furnishes the music for the Senior, lunior, and An- nual Board plays, together with many other public entertainments held in the High School. In the latter part of the year We assumed the role of a part time dance band. This was an in- teresting innovation and we enjoyed the dances held after all the home games. After a reputation had been gained we filled several engagements including Annual Board Dance, Eastern Star ln- stallation, and Guest Night of the Study Club. The Orchestra has been striving to produce better music, and through the cooperation and efforts of the lnstructress and members it is being accomplished. -R. B.

TAP-TAP-TAP THE KEYS ARE CLICKING Three Locals Win Laurels There was only one drawback to the announce- men which informed us that we, because of our merit, were to compete in the commercial contest at Delta. We had to be on our way by 7:30 or find ourselves the lone occupants of a cold school- house. Consequently everyone arrived in a rath- er slumbering state of mind but after the hour's ride to our destination, grew sufficiently awake to realize what was ahead of us. 'We entered the building in a daze and soon were conscious only of the dull hum of many typewriters. A whistle sounded which brought us to our senses and we realized it was the end of the typing test. Of the five students entered in the Typing ll test, two-Margaret Guilinger and Lor- etta Clark-returned victorious. Our part of the contest was over and we busted ourselves with a brief inspection trip of the building. We peeked in a door and saw a group work- ing steadily at bookkeeping. Our contestants were among those entered from the district. As we turned the corner we ran into some of the first year shorthand students. They excitedly informed us how hard their test was and that none survived. Once again we returned to the scene of the typing contest where our younger aspirants were steadily pecking away at the elusive keyboard. Later we learned how very elusive it really was. One, Margaret Ellen Teal, conquered the noisy but necessary implement. We glanced at the clock and drew a deep, and l imagine a rather nervous breath Cpossibly there was a hastily said prayer, tool for we saw it was time for what we thought was the ordeal of the day-the shorthand exam. We hastily grasped our mental powers and disappeared one by one into that fateful room. We came out more slowly, if possible, than we went in. The total list of entrants and those who re- turned triumphantly were: Bookkeepinge-George Copeland, Doris V. Smith, lames Coleman, Mary Maier, Franklin Dill.

As it is a Christian organization with an aim of developing talents, of making girls feel more at ease at all times and of better acquainting them with each other our monthly meetings are divided itno devotional, business and discussion periods.

The dis- cussions are on subjects of both interest and im- portance to the members. This year there were many girls who saw the light of our candle and wished to be included in its circle of friendship. With them came many new ideas which they have contributed to our organization. Naturally, among so large a group of young Women, considerable talent is displayed, making our regular meetings and the special functions enjoyable as Well as advantageous. Every year the Girl Reserve and the Hi-Y spon- sor a Mixer in honor of the Freshmen, the object being to aid them in becoming better acquainted with the student body. This year it was in the form of a Kid Party and everyone fully enjoyed themselves. An impressive ceremony brought the new members into the organization, and with a pledge to themselves to be faithful to the club, they be- gan four of the most eventful years of their lives. At Thanksgiving and Christmas each member contributed food Which was given to needy fam- ilies to help brighten their holidays. The Chapel program, commemorating Wash- ington's Birthday was another highlight in the year's activity.

YOUNG MEN FIND INTEREST IN BIBLICAL STUDY Appreciate Various Messages From Laymen The world of today is calling for men of quality --men trained mentally, morally, and physically. Only men with those characteristics are found who conform to a platform of Clean Speech, Clean Sports, Clean Scholarship, l'Clean Living. They also strive to create, maintain, and extend throughout the school and community high stand- ards of Christian Character.' Since the organization of the club, the member- ship has increased rapidly from fifteen members in l924 to fifty-seven members in l937. HI-Y OFFICERS Left to right4Harold McFann, Treasurer, Vernon Weis- enborri, Secretary, Orland Mixter, Vice-President, Thur- low Beek, President, Mr. Swanson, Advisor. The activities of the year have been varied. The Hi-Y and Girl Reserves, together with our new advisors, Mr. Doyle Swanson and Miss Katherine Sharp, gave the annual Mixer in the gymnasium with the purpose of promoting a friendly feeling between the Freshmen and upper classmen. During our meetings throughout the year many outside speakers as well as our own members have participated. We were anxious to have as our guests Rev. Ward, Rev. Donaldson, Rev. Montague, Mr. Kieth Porter and our own Mr. Radenbaugh. Some of the topics discussed by these speakers were Choosing a Vocation, Our Future, Scout Week, and 'Remaking the World. At other meetings members of the club under the leadership of Wayne Lougheed as Chairman took part in such discussions as 'What Kind of a God do we believe in, and l'The Life of God. . lt has been the aim of the club not only to en- tertain but to instruct by means of well planned programs. The religious side has been stressed by topics that are vital to every day situations. We also try to create an interest and pleasing at- titude toward things that are sacred and spiritual. All in all our year has been a highly successful one. Our members profited immensely in a spir- itual way. They gained something which the non- members can not possess.

Ici On Parle Francais Le Cercle Francais, otherwise known as The French Club, has completed the fourth year of its existence under the efficient supervision of our French instructor, Mr. Faben. Serving as aides were Lloyd Stahl as president, Doris lean Smith as vice-president, and Odella May Bigg as secretary and treasurer. These officers endeavored to pre- sent the club members with a series of programs of a highly educational nature. Although our pro- grams have been retarded no little by the fact that other happenings have arisen at the time of scheduled meetings, what few programs we were able to present were thoroughly enjoyed. Organized in 1934 by a small group of inter- ested French students, the club has increased rap- idly from a mere handful to the present enrollment of thirty. The primary object of the club is to give the pupil opportunity for expression of the French he has learned, and also an understanding of French life and customs beyond that which is taught in the classroom. Such subjects as French art, literature, and personalities have been includ- ed on the club programs and we also presented oen of the year's chapel programs. Aiding us a great deal was the experience of Mr. Faben, who is himself a veteran of the Great War and who has traveled extensively over France. Thus it can be seen that many of his expereinces were a great help to us. Hardly anyone who has the least knowledge of the French language can fail to enjoy LeCercle Francais. The language differs from Latin in that it is alive and modern and can be put to use today. Anyone who has studied French in school and then had the opportunity to travel to Quebec or New Orleans and speak with the gay, laughing people who discourse in the genuine tongue has experienced a sensational adventure. For the members of Le Cercle Francais that treat still awaits us. -Daniel O'Conenll FRENCH CLUB OFFICERS Left to right-Mr. Faben, Advisor, Odella Mae Rigg, Secretary-Treasurer, Lloyd Stahl, President, Doris lean Smith, V.-President, Dan O'Connell, Program Chairman.

DECEASED LANGUAGE FIGHTS FOR POPULARITY Ars Longa, Tempus Fugitl Time has mellowed the archaic splendor of ane cient Rome but it can never destroy the lasting in- fluence of that people on culture. Their tremen- dous effect on the art, the literature, and the lan- guage of the civilized world has been of such a nature that, although the Roman Empire passed out of existence enarly two thousand years ago, the historic torch of learning which they have handed on to succeeding geenrations, has never been extinguished. To this worthy end, the development of a cul- tural taste, the Latin League devotes its time and energy. During that brief forty-five minutes once each month the members of our organization for- get the trials and cares of the daily translations. ln memory we travel backward to the troubled days of lulius Caesar, Cicero, and Vergil. The mist of past ages seems to envelop us. Through its thin veil we can almost see the throngs of Roman citi- zens gathered in the streets to witness some tri- umphal return of Caesar's armies, and in the Bo- man Forum, Cicero rises before an august body of toga-clad Senators to deliver a stirring address against the vice of the times. Even the most casual observer will smile faintly at the egotism frequently employed, and then we can travel on foot to a tiny mountain village where the poet, Vergil, is busily engaged in writing his epics of the Trojan war. Only the bell, signalling the end of a happy period, can recall us from our meditations. Our success this year has been due especially to the untiring efforts of our advisor, Miss Ritchey, and the officers: Dorothy Gump, President, Mar- garet Ellen Teal, Vice-President, Marjorie Bennett, Secretary, Betty Baker, Treasurer, and also to the program committee which arranged the delightful playlets, talks, and musical numbers which so colorfully depicted Roman life. -Martha Stickney LATIN LEAGUE OFFICERS Seated, left to right-Betty Baker, Treasurer, Marjorie Bennett, Secretary.

A., is an ever growing organization ot boys interested in Vocational Agriculture. lt is a very extensive organization throughout the United States and Hawaii. ' Keith Dickinson was awarded the State Future Farmers degree last spring. This year the otticers not only gave the Future Farmers degree to our members, but, to West Unity and Bryan chapters as well. During the year we had many activities in which the members took part. Our corn husking team placed third in the district contest held at Liberty Center. We have one hundred per cent F. F. A. Seated-K. N.

Robert Collie, Carl Creek, Willis Headley, Cecil Cook and Mr. Morse received the seventh and highest degree in the grange at the National Con- vention last tall. We held our annual parent and son banquet in December. The speaker was the Honorable Frank C. Kniftin ot Napoleon. There were a hundred and twenty plates served. Carl Creek won fifth place at the district public speaking contest that was held at Malinta in December. VV e entered a pest hun contest between Bryan, and West Unity. West Unity and Montpelier tied tor first place. There was a banquet held at Bryan in honor of the winners. We were in charge ot the grain and egg show during the Community Institute. There were two different divisions, the junior class for in school and senior for those out ot school. On March l7, we conducted the chapel pro- gram. A play entitled The Feed Store Mystery, was enjoyed by all. We had a F. F. A. display at the state fair on the subject ot Thrift We were awarded eighth place.

MOTHERS WILLINGLY RENDER SERVICE Sponsor Recreational Service The High School Mothers Club is an organization which aims to cooperate with the faculty and students in every way possible perhaps making the paths of each a little easier. Our program chairman and her committee have had interesting and uplifting programs at the monthly meet- ings throughout the school year. In November we sponsored a card party in the gym- nasium, bringing together one hundred and twelve ladies, and teachers, for a pleasant social evening. The proceeds were used for the subscription to a group ot worthwhile magazines tor the school library, a standing piano bill, and curtains and supplies for the First Aid Room. In February we cooperated with the Community Insti- tute, taking charge of the potluck dinners and combining our regular monthly program with that ol theirs for the ladies session which was attended by two hundred. Feeling that the students needed more parties connect- ed with their school life, we sponsored two evenings of dances and singing games, which were held in the gym- nasium in April for their pleasure, charging a small ad- mission to take care oi expenses. We furnished music for the High School orchestra and in turn they played for the dances. Miss Pollock of Bryan, Ohio, led the singing games. We got a late start this year but hope they can be carried on next year. The members of the executive board of the club enter- tained with a telephone bridge the evening of April 7, adding the sum ol eighteen dollars to our treasury to be used for Iurtehr expenses and to leave a balance tor new stage curtains if some future committee can see fit to purchase them. At the time of this report we have not vet had our an- nual mixer for the Alumni mothers, High School mothers, and eighth grade mothers and Faculty, which comes the last of May, but are looking forward to a pleasant evening. The Alumni mothers will furnish the Drogram. The years activities will end with the mothers club serving at the Alumni Banquet.

PARENTS' COOPERATION MEANS MUCH TO CHILD Splendid Programs Appreciated Montpelier Grade School Parent-Teacher Association has been a very active organization since its inception a number of years ago and many worthwhile projects have been carried out that have added greatly to the comfort and physical well being of the Grade School children. This Association is also a member of the State and National organization. Membership-and attendance at P.-T. A. meetings enables teachers and parents to become better acquainted and to work together for the benefit of the child. P.-T. A. meetings are held in Iunior High assembly rooms the first Wednesday afternoon in each month. One evening meeting is held during the year at which time the school is open for inspection and the men participate in the program. Meetings are opened with a short business session followed by interesting programs of music and educational subjects. Officers and Executive Board during the season of l936-1937 were as follows:-Mrs. E. M. King, President, Mrs. Kenenth Long, Vice-President, Miss Wiltrude Brown, Secretary, Mrs. R. T.

And play the garnet' -Sir Henry Newbolt Page 71 BEAUTY OF PHYSICAL STRENGTH AND FAIR PLAY On the tour testival days in ancient times the stalwart youths ot Athens and Sparta gathered on the plains of Olympus to exhibit their skill. For centuries this was done and it has been handed down to us to form our modern Olympic games. The motto ot the Greeks Was of our motto The survival of the fittestf' To attain this fitness they were put in military train- ing and taught every sort of outdoor sport. All ot our Grecian architecture depicts a man in motion. There is a great beauty in movement. One may watch the fleet-looted deer moving with long swift strides across the grass and gain sheer pleasure from gazing at its rhythmic movements. When the discus thrower exerts his every muscle in hurling the discus there is about him a form of beauty of physical strength. Physical strength denotes Well trained muscles and clean living. For that reason athletics is put in high schools today. Those participating are also compelled to feel the beauty of fair play. Life is a game and those who learn to play it fairly are the winners perhaps not always materially but spiritually. ls it not an admirable trait of character to be a good loser and is there not an intangible beauty about it? Youthful training is necessary and to that ideal our high schools at- tempt to teach fair play in athletics. -Carlin Abend Carlin Abend Page 72 GRIDIRON PRACTICE PROVES STRENUOUS Under Tutelctge of New Coach COACH RADENBAUGH He is the possessor of those qualities needed to direct athletics with a Winning spirit as Well as an aim toward better physical development. He has shown all those qualities which are honored and praised by youth. His record previous to this year was one to be proud of and also one hard to beat. He is noted for his frank, earnest, and whole-hearted efforts. -OrlandMixter i POWER OF SPIRIT IN ATHLETICS Eight years of athletic competition, ten years of athletic coaching, and all the years since my early boyhood given over to Whole-hearted athletic sup- port, are enough to convince me that athletics are Without question a great contribution to life. My first reason for liking athletics is because it brought me into more real contact With men than the classroom allows. W'hile there may be some in- sincerity in a classroom there can never be any insincerity on an athletic field. There a man has to put his Whole self into every assignment. In athletics a man cannot sit on a chair and let his tongue do most of the Work. Every part of himself from the tiniest brain cell to the tip of the smallest finger is here brought into action. ln a psychology class a student can talk about his will and his emotions While he uses his mind only. A far better laboratory for the true mastery of psychology is the athletic field Where a man uses his will, his emotions and his mind all at the same time. Which is more important, 'to talk about a thing or to use it? Which is the better kind of pedagogy-the text book method or the laboratory method? To me the athletic field has been the laboratory of life. wCoach Radenbaugh Orly Mixter, cap- tain of the team and truly the outstanding player for the season, was the field gen- eral, He played quar- terback equally Well both on offense and defense.

S. These were the main cogs of 'Pelier's football machinery. The l936 edition was a great football team in material, yet lacking in experience. However all fought for the same victory or the least possible defeat. Coach Baden- baugh was con- fronted With fel- lows unknown to him and comparative- ly inexperienced lightweights. By his endless energy in teaching the essen- tials of football technique, he produced a fairly good team mostly Sophornores and Iuniors. Early in the season we lost one of our promising backs, who fell a victim AVERAGE SEASON ENIOYED The dedication of the new stadium at Napo- leon was held the day we met the Corporals. It was a beautiful day just suited for football play- ing. During the first half the efforts of both teams only advanced the pigskin into close proximity of the goal but neither scored- The game ended scoreless. The next game was with the Wauseon Bed- birds. lt was another day for the fans to enjoy the spectacles of the gridiron. Neither team seemed to be superior but a couple of well maneuvered plays caught M. H. S. unawares. 'We met the Bryan Bears on their field in a night game. The field was slightly muddy. We went onto the grid- iron like an underdog due to the sheer power and drive of our opponents. As a result we were whitewashed. Even though our season was not superior to that of our opponents we feel we have gained a victory through our losses that will strengthen our team for the coming year and bring in due time the desired victory. -Robert Beach to a slight injury and ended his service for the rest of the pigskin season.

Page 75 CAGERS STUNG MANY TIMES BY DEFEAT Two weeks before the opening game was to come up our forty prospective bas- ketballers reported to Coach Radenbaugh for practice. Needless to say, this encour- aged Coach and bod- ed well for a fine sea- son to come. Of course it would have been impossible to carry such a large squad, so gradually began the whittling- down process. Inside of a week only nine men were left of the original forty and these were immediately put into intensive practice drills in anticipation of open- ing night. At the end of the week they were champing at the bit, ready for any and all comers. Our first two games were played on foreign soil. We opened our regular season with a clean cut victory at Alvordton and the following week were cut down at West Unity. On December the eighteetnh we opened the official league season on our own home court l BASKETBALL SQUAD Last Laugh On Ancient Enemy against Liberty Center. The old gym was bright with color and packed with an expectant wildly- cheering throng. But their cheers were in vain as we took our second successive defeat. Then followed five defeats in a row by con- vincing scores. The boys were giving their all but Lady Luck was turning a cold shoulder to their efforts. On Ianuary the twenty-third we traveled to Edon and came through with a nice win, which sent our ambitions soaring in hope that this was the turning point. But such was not the case. Our hopes received a cruel rebuff in the form of five straight losses in the following three weeks. Of our next three games We won but one, but this one was sweet because we avenged an earl- ier defeat at West Unity by winning from them this time with plenty to spare. The week of March the fifth opened the official league tournament at Napoleon. We drew as our first opponent our ancient enemy, Bryan. This was our big chance to show the world that our unsuccessful season was a big mistake and we did not muff it. We put one over on them by the margin of only two points, but they were enough to win. Bryan was undoubtedly a very amazed group of boys when it was all over but they gradually real- ized that they had sold the Locomotives short. This win placed us in the semi-finals in which we were de- feated by a strong Perrysburg team. Although our sea- son was unsuccessful in the sense of wins and losses, we have gained a world of ex- perience that will help us next year. May we thank our coach for his patience and efforts with us through the past year. -Bernard Brown Front row-Keith Miller, Bernard Brown, Orland Mixter, Elbert Thompson, Harold Mclpann.

We are sorry that such players as Orly ever graduate. Bemcrrd Brown Brownie started the season off with a bang by totaling twen- ty-one against Alvordton. He was noted for his peculiar pivot shot and his determination not to quit. He was possessed with ability to keep cool when under fire. Keith M. Miller Keith was one of the oldest men in experience. Though he lacked the height for his position he gave much trouble and dis- comfort to his opponents.

GIRLS CONTINUE TO SHOW INTEREST IN SPORTS Enjoy Trips In New Bus Many schools have dropped the tradition of girl's basketball, but not good old M. I-I. S. Our exciting trip on the new bus took us to Alvordton where we participated in the first game of the season. Here we were victorious. This elevated our spirits and encouraged us for our future games. Next we tackled West Unity- This appeared to be a little more difficult but the score at the end of the game proved that we were capable of the task. l'm afraid our two victories made us a little over- confident, because our first game on our home floor spelled defeat by Pioneer. Repeating a former match we returned to West Virginia Brim. Captain Unity for another game. Once again Montpelier was victorious. We are especially joyous for this decision since our courage had faltered with de- feat by Pioneer. Once more we went to a strange floor, Kunkle being our opponent. This time we were a bit awed by their attack but we soon got into the swing of the game and again came home vic- toriousl You can't keep a good team down, so again we journeyed to Pioneer. Lady Luck certainly wasn't present at this game for we came home defeated a second time by the same team. Our last game was on our own floor with Kunkle. We were very evenly matched and the score ended in a tie. The Seniors found to their disappointment that this was the last game they would play for their Alma Materl However, they wish next year's team much success. -Margaret Guilinger Page 78 lust Before the Signal Few persons realize how difficult it is to secure competent coaches, es- pecially those who are equipped to train girls basketball. Mr. Swanson has had such experience and is able to take a group of untrained recruits and through systematic and diligent effort, build a team that not only makes a pleasing spectacle on the floor, but who are able to cope successfully With their opponents. Hcxrt, Guilinger -Virginia Brim Coach Swanson NEW HEALTH PROGRAM FEATURED THIS YEAR The modern program of Health and Physical Education has three main di- visions. These are: l. The School Health Service. The school health service includes the opera- tion of those agents or agencies aiming to improve or protect the personal and en- vironmental health conditions of the chil- dren. The following functions are opera- tive in a health service: l. Health examinations by physicians and dentists. 2. The reference and follow- up program for the correction of remedial defects. 3. Immunization programs against communicable diseases. 4. Clinics. 5. Speci-al classes. 6. First aid and safety provisions. 7. The hygiene and sanitation of the school plant and equipment. 8. The health of teachers, custodians and others on the school staff. 9. The hygiene of in- struction. , ll. Health Instruction. Health instruc- Page 79 tion is the sum of the instruction given within the curriculum, which has for its aim the improvement of the health conduct of the individual. Many subjects, depart- ments, and other health takes place throughout the school day. Health con- duct is made or modified in response to the health staff and plant must be seen as re- sponsible in varying degrees for its Whole- some development. lll. Physical Education. Physical edu- cation is the contribution made to the com- plete education of the individual through the psycho-motor or large-muscle activi- ties. For school purposes, physical educa- tion includes such activities as athletics, rhythmics, games, sports, and related ac- tivities. The scope of this phase of the program is broad and includes all inter- scholastic athletics, intra-mural sports, the service classes and the corrective or in- dividual work. -Coach Radenbaugh BOYS' GYM Illustration of bar and pyramid work. PHYSICAL EDUCATION SUPPLIES MUCH NEEDED EXERCISE If At First You Don't Succeed Try, Try Again Gymnastics, under the direction of Coach Raclenbaugh, were a new undertaking in our school this year.

The gym classes have brought forth many worth while athletes who had not tried out for a major sport, such as football, basketball and track. Their programs have been arranged so as GIRLS' GYM Floor-Vera Pike, Mary Roberts, Arlene Fisher, Lenore Hicks, Thelma Allman, Clara Alice Osborn, Myrtle Knecht, Elizabeth Miller, Viv- ian Wheeler, Arena- belle Speaker. Top - Lauretta Brown, Marjorie Bennett, Doris Darby, to develop the body as well as the mind of every one partaking of this form of exercise. Work has been done on the parallel bars, and swings-in- cluding tumbling and basketball. All of this has helped the students to be able to exert more con- trol over their muscles and limbs. On May seventeenth an exhibition was given to show the public how great the attainments have been throughout the year. Surely the audience profited from this performance and found gym- nastics to be entertaining as well as helpful. -Theodore Chapman Page 80 IN TBA-MURAL COMPETITION PROVES INTERESTING AMONG CLASSES One of the very first signs of Spring which may be seen in Montpelier is the preparation for the inter- class tournaments. An an- nual event, it has long at- tracted capacity crowds who feel free to scream, yell and shout at will and in general have a royal time. Most of the time they do not see good basketball, but then, it's the spirit that counts with them. The yearling Freshmen, both boys and girls, com- pletely dominated the play throughout the tournament. After winning their prelim- inary games they made the Sophomores the victims of their sharp-shooting in the finals to become the Champs of 1937. We must give those frosh plenty of credit, The Way they swept everything be- fore them both amazed and delighted everyone. Their hustle and dash was some- thing usually found in much older and experienced teams. Hats off to theml As an added attraction and comedy relief for the final games our faculty played a group of ex-basketballers Cemphasis on the ex J named Midgets who make their living as business men of our town. The game was given much publicity which served to pack our little cigar box to the rafters. It was a hectic affair with both sides doing things strange to the game of bas-- ketball at times. The bell found the two teams even in the matter of points scored. This called for a mutual challenge between them to meet again in the coming year which was promptly accepted. So we have something exciting to look forward to, come next basketball season. -Leslie Pike Rivalry Intensely Keen Top-l Surprised, 2 Touchdown Twins, 3 Broken-down full- Bow three Freshman B B Z Pepperpots 3 Sophomore B B back, 4 Our head man, 5 Final instructions, Bow four-l Sophomore BB 2 Senior BB 3 Freshman BB Row two-l Action, 2 Thunder Talk, 3 Bench warmers, Row five-l Senior Boys Basketball 2 Iumor Basketball 4 Interesting game. 3 Iunior Boys Page 81 First row-Managers, Val Strayer and Vincent Bordner.

LOCOMOTIVES CREATE EXCITEMENT ON CINDER PATH Modernized Mercury Difficult To Conquer Track enthusiasts have had occasion to be proud and happy over the victories that have been theirs to claim, and certainly the Wholesale record of credits in their favor are but evidence of a carefully trained team eager to fulfill their debt to the school. - Montpelier High school defeated Pioneer High school in the opening track meet of the season, 78 to 61.

PANORAMA OF DREAMS UNROLLED ON SOCIAL CALENDAR Beauty Veiled Under Soft Lights Une soireel Everyone instantly lives a moment of anticipation, To all an evening spent in complete leisure among friends and abundant entertainment is an occa- sion to look forward to with great eagerness. Our school has many delightful social functions for the purpose of the mingling of students and to live up to the motto, All work and no play makes jack a dull boy. HEIGH-HO! THE GIRLS' RESERVES AND HI-Y ENTERTAIN THE FRESHMEN Hair ribbons in all colors of the rainbow and apologetic knee-pants made the freshmen a picture of their childhood days. Cheeks rosy with blushes, they timidly assembled in the gym little dreaming what was in store for them on this brisk November evening, Friday the sixth. This annual custom was carried out in the traditional manner and the freshmen were initiated in a fashion not soon to be forgotten. First they were requested to enter a room. A darkened, ghastly, spine chilling atmosphere prevailed in this room. A dim light revealed a very ghastly white clear figure and many freshmen were seen leaving with a much faster rate of speed than in which they had previously entered. This not being sufficient they were marched to the auditorium. Here they were made to sing, pantomime, dance and even recite nursery rhymes. Promptly if they declined to follow orders a forfeit of a shoe was taken from them and many found themselves in their stocking feet. After this relentless invasion of their modesty they were escorted back to the gym to take part in a grand march. At the close of this each received a very quaint and de- licious box lunch. Thus the evening ended, the upperclassmen having opened the doors of welcome wide and feeling that they had made many new and worth-while friends among the new students. SENIOR HUNT Have you ever been on a Scavenger Hunt? Neither had a lot of Seniors until November the seventeenth. Act- ually it proved more fun than ever was anticipated. Groups were assigned with leaders and a list of objects was given to each to be brought in. The group that most specifically and swiftly returned with their articles were to be declared the winner. Abundant gayety and humor were in evidence through- out the evening of enjoyment. Many brought in objects so old or obsolete such as a bustle, an out- of-season sun- flower and an onion, that they immediately produced peals of laughter from all. The winning group was presented with a large box of candy mints and they certainly de- served it. All were delightfully awarded for their endeavors with or light lunch consisting of wafers, fruit salad and hot choco- late. A music box was rented for the evening and dancing proved a very fitting climax to this jubilant and lively occasion. IUNIOR CLASS PARTY Scavenger Hunts seemed to be quite the vogue of late in our school as the Iuniors announced Wednesday, Feb- ruary the seventeenth as the date set for a hunt they were anticipating. As a result objects that had long hovered in old trunks, attics and cellars were brought to light. A great deal of fun was had by all who searched for these objects and later every moment was enjoyed looking at some of the idiotic articles that the different groups had managed to get together. Always there is one a little luckier and swifter than the other and so it proved at this time as the winning group sat around munching happily on the prizes awarded them, large chocolate Hershey bars. First Annual Board Formal Page 84 Mmmm-what was that aroma--it couldn't be-but it was hot steaming coffee and delicious sandwiches. After all had partaken of this lunch, Mr. Moffitt suggested square dancing and immediately all thought it a wonderful idea and jumped to their feet. And who said the younger people couldn't square dance? Well anyway they were as graceful at it as their grandfolks used to be. THE ATHLETES HAVE A FEAST Another season of sports has swiftly passed. In for- mer years the mothers have arranged a banquet for just the football boys but this year the Athletic Association sponsored a dinner for all girls and boys participating in the season's sports. April the sixth proved a very significant evening for all. The decorative idea was very unique as the tables were arranged in a large M design with blue and white the predorninating color scheme. Place cards of football and basketball design found places for everyone and also were passed around to be autographed by friends later. These will probably prove as souvenirs of the oc- casion for many years. None too soon for the lively, healthy athletes, the dinner was served. Chicken pie, ice cream, cake and pie left everyone in a'full but happy mood. Mr. Shaeffer, toastmaster of the evening, introduced Mr. D. V. Swanson who gave the girl's basketbal- teams their letters. Virginia Brim, captain, spoke a few words of thanks and appreciation. Mr. Radenbaugh next pre- sented the boys with football ter, seated with Virginia at spoke his thanks in behalf Mr. Howalt, a former coach delivered a very impressive letters whereupon Orly Mix- the center angle of the M, of the team. At this time, of Montpelier High School, speech on the importance of School Spirit. Last but not least Mr. Moffitt gave a very splendid and appropriate talk to the young people on Cooperation The banquet was not immediately brought to a close, but music was furnished by the High School Orchestra and dancing was enjoyed by everyone. ANNUAL BOARD DANCE - Yes indeed, the Annual Board has gone social on us this year for the first time in the history of our school! On April tenth a very colorful group of members and their friends assembled in the gym in soft spring formals and dark tailored suits. The gymnasium was a dream of spring in all colors of the rainbow. Beneath the soft lights glowed the eager eyes and warm smiles of boys and girls. Arlene Baer Virginia Copeland Editors Popular melodies were rendered by the High School Or- chestra and everyone seemed to have an exciting time either dancing or listening. Beneath a low canopied alcove refreshing punch was served and it proved to be delightfully cool after the continuous dancing. Eleven o'clock rang the curfew causing many to won- der how the hours had sped so swiftly. After bididng good-night to the hostesses, Miss Burns and Executive Board, all took their departure wishing for many more occasions as lovely as this. FUTURE FARMERS BANQUET PARENTS What more pleasant sight could meet ones eyes, than that of a mass gathering of some fifty boys seated with their parents around the family board, conversing mutually upon many problems so vital to the youth of today. After the physical being had been supplied, the master of ceremonies Vernon Weisenborn presented as the guest speaker, Hon. Frank Kniffin, who gave a very interesting and applicable discourse on problems that confront the potential farmer of the future. Reports from various groups indicated that the organ- ization would not be found wanting in any of their ac- tivities, and the rural child would have equal opportunity with his city cousin. SOPHOMORES ENTERTAIN No school year would be complete without having some form of a class gathering. So May ll found the Sopho- mores busily engaged making plans for a get together dance and evening of amusement. Recreational games of ping-pong and bunco furnished amusement for those who did not wish to while away the hours on the dance floor. Delicious refreshments of ice cream, tea cakes, punch and mints were in keeping with the dignity and grace of the party, and the guests departed with the hope that the years would smile brightly Grand March, Iunior-Senior Prom Page 85 upon their class. WE BID YOU BON VOYAGE ln a realm of enchant- ment where sweet music touched the vital chords of the soul, the Seniors and guests were ushered into a haven of rest and content- ment as they set foot for the first time upon the vessel that was to take them forth upon the Sea of Life. A Banquet fit for kings showed that hospitality was not lacking and favors of Ville de Paris rose were tokens of a sincere friendship. Beauty reigned supreme as strains of dance music filled the air, and the deck became a veritable mass of colorful humanity. -Baer, Copeland BOOK LEARNING SUPPLEMENTED BY LECTURES The 3 R's Not Adequate What would our school be without a period for every individual to assemble in the auditorium for forty-five min- utes each Wednesday morning, to forget the daily routine ot study and to enjoy this time of learning and laughing?
