In so far as it is possible to picture, with pen and ink, the activities of our school, We have striven to do justice to Norwood High. If we have prepared something, that in the years ahead, will call to your mind pleasant experiences, and old friends, almost forgotten amid the cares of later life, and thus make a little stronger the tie that binds our hearts to our High School, we shall not have labored in vain.

Tielking Mathematics English English I9I A IN APPRECIATION IX months elapse between the time when the Senior Class meets to select the staff which will bear the brunt of the responsibility of preparing The Silhouette, and the day when the sign appears, Annual will be placed on sale this afternoon. Throughout that period stretches the monotony of class and staff meetings, advertising and subscription campaigns. And now, as the book goes to press, we want to express our gratitude to those who, by their advice and efforts, have contributed to its make-up. Whatever degree of success this volume may deserve, is due directly to their efforts. We feel safe in asserting that no editor and business manager ever received more faithful service from their staff than the present staff has given us. The assistant managers have done splendid Work -lack of space prohibits commendation of individuals. We appreciate the efforts of our art editor, who has contributed 'to the attractiveness of this book. Fred Williams '23, art editor, has given generously of his time in planning and working out the art material. Miss Cora Morton, Mr. Emil Hostetler, and Mr. W. Ross Dunn have acted as our Faculty Advisors. Miss Morton has allowed us to use the chemistry room for our staff meetings. Mr. Jones, of the Jones Studio, Cincinnati, has done all our photographic work. The Ebbert SL Richardson Company, printers, have aided us in many ways. Theirs is the credit for the mechanical excellence of The Silhouette. When one comes to the end of a good day's work, there comes to him a reward, in the satisfaction of having given the task his best efforts. So it is with us, we remember the tedious hours spent at this work, with something of a spirit of gratification, for it represents the best our class can offer. We hope that the result of our labors will prove to be a strong link in the chain that binds the graduates to the high school. We have made it our aim to include those things which will be recalled in the days when high school memories are golden memories. When from the fold we far shall stray, With souls no longer young, We'll ne'er forget our high school days, These happy friends among. - THE EDITORS. l10I EBRUARY LASS 113.--eww: -.2-:fa-.afwaxe my v 'IfIl9Ur Y V Nllagg, I I-I. rv ff F R E D W z' ' .waxes-wmknfm-fn'-fa! h v g iff' ' 43 za.

CLASS HISTORY FEBRUARY, 1923 FOUR years ago the February Class of '23 started to Norwood High School with McKinney Gash as their leader. The first day of school McKinney was seated in a nice basin of cold water while others were welcomed in a similar way. Nevertheless, the class survived, and by June rose so high as to gain the title of Educated Freshiesf' It was not long after this until we were sophomores with headquarters on the second floor. We surely did think we were the bee's knee when we had gained the title of sophomore. But it soon wore off and we began to wonder if we would ever be juniors or seniors. Eventually we became juniors and were allowed to organize our class. At our first class meeting we elected Joe Mottern, President, Evelyn Baker, Vice- President, Stanley Crane, Secretary, and Newman Briggs, Treasurer. At this meeting we selected our class colors, green and gold, and our class motto, Multum in parvo. Several of our classmates excelled in athletics, namely Joe Aston on the football team, Howell J ones on the basket-ball team, and Virginia Warner on the girls' basket-ball team. Evelyn Baker and Joe Mottern represented our class on the Mirror Staff in '22. Finally our senior year did come and David Frisch was hailed as our presi- dent. Those assisting him were Thelma Nickel, Donald Behrman, and Nellie Losh. During our second semester of 1923 Donald Behrman was chosen as our illustrious president, with Mildred Pendery, Marion Roney, and David Frisch completing our staff of officers. We were represented this year by Joe Aston and David Frisch in football, Stanley Crane as art editor of the Mirror, and Virginia Warner in basket-ball. All in all, our class was the shining light of N. H. S. during this fall. Our days at Norwood High are now past but there are memories of old Norwood which will not pass, but will linger with us forever. . JOHN BURGOYNE. I 12 l C' -1 ' ' ,s , D N . .Q , .. rf. - . . , . - DONALD BEHRMAN Masque and Scroll '22g Class Secretary '22g Class President '23. A witty joke, a bright flashing smile and then a jolly laugh' that's Donald. He is a friend to everyone, generous, good-natured and well-liked. He has caused many laughs among his classmates with his famous cartoons. EVELYN BAKER Dark hair, shining eyes, Merry humor she's a prize. Mirror Staff '22, '23g Masque and Scroll '23: Hiking Club '22, Evelyn is the possessor of a sunny smile that flashes upon the slightest provocation. In her are united capability and sociability H- a most happy combination. There is no one who has known or met her, but feels the sterling qualities of her character. JOHN BURGOYNE Hi Y John is rather quiet but a good student and a hard worker. What he doesn't know about radio isn't much. He is a good friend to everyone and liked by all. Good luck to him. NELLIE LOSH She's as modes! as any, and bliihe as she's boring. Class Treasurer '22, Nellie - a little ray of sunshine. She is a cheer- ful and willing worker in everything. You will always find her tomorrow what she is today. She is never swayed by the thoughts of others, for she can see things in the right light herself. Wi wish her the best of luck at Miami next year. i 13 I afwzwnu. Y ff s fr. J. I - .,---H JOSEPH MOTTERN Class President '21. Joe is a good dancer and quite a ladies' man. He is one of those cheerful, lively people and along with Joe Aston made a virtual Damon and Pythias. MARION RONEY Class Secretary '23. VIRGINIA WARNER She is a form of life and light, Laughing eyes and marmer bright. Girls' Basketball '21, '22, '23g Glee Club '22, '23g Glee Club Vice-President '23g Athletic Asso- ciation Vice-President '23g Hiking Club '223 Masque and Scroll '22. Virginia needs no introduction - she speaks for herself. She can show more enthusiasm and pep than any other girl in the school, whether the occa- sion be a football game, basket-ball game, or Glee Club meeting. She is surely one of the most all-around girls in the school, and we wish her luck wherever she goes. Marion is sure to make a success at either music or automobile mechanics, being gifted in both. Marion is our class wit and who ever saw him looking sad? THELMA WORK She is wise, fair and true, And never oversteps the bonds of -modesty. Thelma has two constant companions - a happy smile and a pleasant word. Her kind and gentle disposition has won her many friends and we feel sure she will be appreciated wherever she goes. She is our friend, and we wish her success.

He is sure to be successful in the future. THELMA NICKEL 'Tis lrue she's very much inclined To chin and talk with all mankind. Class Vice-President '22, Thelma is always jolly and full of fun. She is well liked and has many friends. Apparently her philosophy is Care's an enemy to life. CYou ought to see her drive that car of hers.J You will find Thelma at Miami next year where she plans to continue her studies. DAVID FRISCH Football '23g Class President '22g Class Treasurer '23. Dave is a hard worker but always cheerful and ready for a good time. Dave's persistence has been shown by his successful attempts to col- lect class dues. He is also a football player. MILDRED PENDERY l15l There's a vein of mirth beneath her air of dzgnzty. Class Vice-President '23g Masque and Scroll '23, Mildred's personality is a many-sided one. A more modest or gentle girl would be hard to End, but her closest friends know that combined with this, is a large supply of grit and strong will. Stability and unselfishness are qualities of a true friend, and surely she has proven herself such to all who know her. CLASS WILL FEBRUARY, 1923 I N IE, THE class of February, 1923, being of sound mind, declare this to be our last will and testament, and do devise, advise, and bequeath the following: I-To the faculty, our thanks and appreciation for their ceaseless aid in our behalf. II -To the school, our splendid school spirit. III 4 To the February classes in times to come, more school spirit and more pep. IV - To the janitors, the privilege of not having to clean up after our class. In Witness whereof, We, the undersigned testators, do hereby set our hand and our seal this fourth day of April, in the year of our Lord, one thousand nine hundred and twenty-three. DON BEHRMAN, Witnesses M President. JOHN BURGOYNE, EVELYN BAKER. l16l PROPHECY FEBRUARY CLASS, 1923 TEN years ago the February Class of '23 graduated from Norwood Hi. Just stop and think what has happened since then. David Frisch has won and lost the welterweight crown. Last night at the Capitol I saw a film that was directed by Donald Behrman. I can well remember the days at school when he would draw cartoons by the dozens-his books were just full of them! Now they pay him a hundred dollars for just writing his name. I noticed the attrac- tive design on the cover of the Saturday Evening Post the other day, and learned that the artist who drew it was none other than my old classmate, Stanley Crane. Recently I met Marion Roney, the mechanical engineer, who lately reconstructed the Suspension Bridge, and he informed me that Joe Mottern had just bought out the controlling interest in the Dow Drug Co. Last night while wondering where to go to have dinner, I thought of Nellie Losh's Blue Boy Tea Room. I went there and had the finest meal for the meager sum of ten dollars. I had a chat with Nellie and she had just received a letter from Virginia Warner who was contemplating accepting a position as coach at Bryn Mawr for five thousand per year. Thelma Nickel is a movie star and her latest piece is From First to Last. I was surprised to learn that the following September Evelyn Baker would be married five years and was going to have a bang-up time on her fifth anniversary. In order to find out what the remaining two girls were doing I looked them up in the Who's Who, and was astonished to see that Mildred Pendery and Thelma Work had formed a partnership called, The Work and Pendery Business School. JOHN BURGOYNE. i171 1 IJUNE CLASS' FRED WILLIAMS HISTORY JUNE CLASS OF 1923 HE balmy fall of '19 found a new flock of bewildered frosh. The rivals of every school in Norwood were now united under the common tie of high school fellowship so admirably extended to us by the upper classmen. But someone immediately cast the proverbial Hy in the more proverbial ointment and inaugurated the last hazing ever held in Norwood. We were a predestined class it seemed from the start, for with resplendent coats of iodine we were sorely vengeful toward our persecutors, and sought to avenge ourselves on the next freshmen. The first bitter cup was handed us when water-troughing became taboo. Nevertheless, the present juniors seem to be just as healthy without their initiation. The court-room scene will not be soon forgotten - Judge Hoffman being forced to investigate the scandal, much to our discredit. However, when the municipal medical authorities assured an enraged mother that iodine was uninjurious if applied externally, she was appeased. All of the above undue notoriety has been attributed to our class unjustly, as we were always content with our reception. As Bunyan so glibly remarked, Pigs is pigs, Boys will be boys, etc. The inherent spirit which was ever present, led us to stage our first social function a month after enrollment. Over eighty twenty-three'rs turned out for the hike which was a gala start upon our happy journey through school. Miss Sutor and Mr. Dunn acted as chaperons and enjoyed the wieners, apples, and marshmallows almost as much as we. Mr. Dilley, Miss Foote, Mr. Heidle- baugh and Mr. Miller were our other teachers who missed this carnival. On November 11, the anniversary of the Armistice of the previous year, Miss Elizabeth Fairweather organized her drive for the French Orphans, to whom she has always been a devoted god-mother. The freshmen immediately responded, pledging an annual sum of 956400, enough to feed and clothe two French children. Through Miss Foote's hearty and cheerful, not to mention financial support, the DZB was able to support one of these kiddies. She is Genevieve Blanc and is still on our list, although the drives for more local improvements have almost overshadowed this movement. But Genevieve will remember her benefactors long after these petty things are passe. Thanksgiving and Christmas of 1919 were also made more cheerful for some, by the perseverance of our teachers in raising supplies for the needy. The Christmas party was the first dance given by our young class. In the midst of our celebration, a flurry of snow blew in the door, and who should confront us but Santa. That dear old fellow filled our stockings with every kind of gift. When Mr. Miller's turn came to shake hands with Old Kris, he siezed his beard instead and shook it so soundly that it came off. Here, lo and behold, it wasn't Santy at all, it was Earl Ferguson! The freshman year closed with a party given by Miss Foote to her Latin class. Belser's Ice Cream and Eden Park was a combination hard to beat. l20I The second year of our tranquil voyage was weathered with Miss Rogatzky, Miss Nellie Fairweather, Mr. Dunn, and Mr. McNutt at the wheel. Mrs. Benedict, Niss Nute, and Miss Hooke guided our future commercial magnates, while Misses Jackson and Ehlerding were the instructors of the Domestic Sciencers. The new Freshmen class was sorely persecuted in private by us previously injured ones - but after the first football game they became just as cocky as ever. The Sophomore dance in the girls' gym was the opening event of the Spring of 1921. Another hike chaperoned by Miss Rogatzky and Mr. Dunn led us to a beautiful farm on Ridge Avenue. Too many sandwiches and too much ice cream was predicted by the more conservative of the committee, but mathematics was thrown to the winds and so were the buns. However, as Quinapolis was wont to say, You tell her cause 'I stutterf' September 23, 1921, our class was organized, Miss Nellie Fairweather being our advisor-exalted. Norbert Eschmeyer was elected first president and started our political career with a firm hand. The debates in our class meetings led to such spirited arguments that it was necessary to harness the escaping dramatic ability and to this end the Masque and Scroll was organized in January, 1922. The mid-year election resulted in the selection of Howell Jones as our guiding light. The J unior-Senior party on February 25 of that year set a hard standard for the present Juniors to equal. The last Junior Issue of the Mirror was put out in May. All of us turned out to the Senior- Junior dance because it was free. We were certainly well repaid for our efforts. Miss Jacob, Miss Rogatzky, Miss Elizabeth Fairweather, Miss Nellie Fair- weather, Miss Nute, Miss Hooke, Mr. Hostetler, Mr. Miller, Mr. Dunn, and Mr. Warmoth gave us every opportunity to display our meager wares. Our last year was heralded with Ray Bradley's election to the chair. The Trojans were pikers when it comes to work, compared to this demon. The Freshmen Reception was given the early part of December and included a play by the Masque and Scroll, entitled, Local and Long Distance. Ray Nasser, again starring as George, earned the right to become Austin in our class play. A dance was given in the holidays and the Dixie Five furnished the necessary melodium. In February our members rushed the polls in favor of Norman Auburn, who won almost unanimous approval as president. The Senior-Junior on April 20, the Charm School on May 11, the Commencement on June 8, and this Annual are all evidences of the success of his administration. The last class to have entered the school under the dlirection of Mr. Mclntire, the skidoo class of '23, makes its farewell. While we have been here we have lived a fuller life in accordance with our cherished motto, Vivimus, Vivamusf' Vive the crimson and gold! Adieu. TOM GRACE. l21l w-s-13+ 1 like .-4...aznnuw,...- . Y,,,,. HOWARD ADER Masque and Scroll '22, '23, Hi Y '22. To the countenances of the French students the mention of his name will always bring a smile. Howard is well liked, and is always ready for a good time. As for arguing, he can't be beat. ISABEL AFFLECK Masque and Scroll '21, '22g Class Vice-President '23, Silhouette Staff '23, Tennis Club '22, '23. Such a girl is Isabel, whose true and womanly qualities have endeared her to her friends. She is a conscientious student, and we feel sure that she will someday bring honor to Norwood Hi. JOSEPH ASTON Football '21, '22g Captain '22, Joe has been one of the stars of the football team for two years, being elected captain this year. The Times-Star once said Joe was a good student as well as a good football player. We will not com- ment on this except to say that those specs surely make him look the part. At any rate we are all glad that Joe waited and graduated with our class. HELEN ARMSTRONG Mirror Reporter '23. Helen always has something witty to say and has furnished much amusement for our class. We know that she will be very successful in any- thing she undertakes. l22l NORMAN AUBURN Class President '23g Class Treasurer '22, '23: Hi Y '23g Masque and Scroll '23g Tennis Club '22, '23g Silhouette Staff '23. Although he is our graduating president, and one of the best-liked boys of the class, Normy is prob- ably best known as the hard-working librarian of the Norwood Library. If he makes as good an impression elsewhere as he has at N. H. S. we are sure that he will meet with great success. EMMA BOGER Masque and Scroll '22, '23g Hiking Club '22, '23g Manager Tennis Club '22, '23g Silhouette Staff '23g Swimming '23, Emma is so fond of Norwood Hi that she came back from Dayton to graduate with us. She is a tennis fan, and has certainly worked hard as girls' tennis manager. Em is going to Ohio University and we all wish her luck. FRANK BACKUS Hi Y '22, '23g Baseball '22, '23g Football '21. Frank's red cheeks have roused the envy of many girls. He is jolly and always willing to help the other fellow. We wish you the best of luck, Frank. VIRGINIA BOWEN Hiking Club '23g Masque and Scroll '22, '23g Silhouette Staff '23g Tennis Club '22. When one thinks of Virginia, one always thinks of her hair. She never gets excited, is never in a hurry, and is always ready to answer in recitation. She has gained a host of friends in N. H. S. IZ3 JOSEPH BERNENS Joe is our class wit but is a little bashful. He is at his best when with a crowd of boys. His rosy cheeks are the envy of his fair classmates, but he refuses to tell what brand he uses. We feel sure Joe's humor will win for him as many friends in the future as it has in the past. ANNA BOWMAN Everyone likes Anna, she is so jolly and full of fun: yet she is always willing to help. Her Literary Digest reports cannot be beat. WALTER BLASING Walter has been with us only a year, but it has been long enough to find out that he is a good fellow. We are sure that he will succeed in any- thing he undertakes. LOUISE BURDORF Treasurer, Masque and Scroll '22g Hiking Club '22, '23g Tennis Club '21, Louise is a girl whom no one can accuse of over- study. No matter how blue you may be feeling, with her most irresistible laughter she will put you in the best of humor. l24l RAY BRADLEY Class President '22, '23g Class Treasurer '22g Base- ball '23g Hi Y '23g Tennis '22, '23g Silhouette Staff '23. Ray was one of our estimable presidents and is probably the hardest-working boy in the class. He has wonderful powers of persuasion, and cer- tainly used them trying to make us have our pic- tures taken. Ray hasn't decided on his college yet, but we know he will make good wherever he goes. CHARLES BUTLER HELEN CHURCH Masque and Scroll '22g Hiking Club '23, Helen is one of the happy four, who think life too short to be spent in worrying. A stranger might think Helen quiet, but when she is with her bunch, she is one of the chief fun-makers. Charlie is one of the most friendly members in our class and we believe his hobby is arguing. He is well liked by the opposite sex as well as his own. l25l LOUISE CORDES Masque and Scroll '22, '23g Class Secretary '22g Hiking Club '23. Louise has a smile for everyone. She is just the girl for a good pal. Her sweet disposition has won her many friends. We wish Louise the best of success. Hiking Club '23 Fuss?-lsr 'fs--Y' l l , ea' ,. 1, ...i .-u...,-g. .71-in ARTHUR CHAPMAN Arthur is one of those brainy boys. He knows all there is to know about chemistry, and math is just fun to him. As for French - it's not at all unlikely that the French government will send him a free pass to come over and teach the French children how to speak real French. FLORENCE DARLING Hiking Club '22, '23, Florence is a good sport and always ready to partake in any fun. She is always willing to help the other fellow in any way she can. And oh! how she can drive that Buick. Good luck to her in the future. CHARLES CHRISTY Silverton has had this representative in N. H. S. for four years and has had no cause to regret it. Charles is one of our studious members, being one of A. J .'s disciples. It is said, however, that he is quite popular with certain Montgomery belles. MARY DONOHUE Mary is liked by everyone who know her. But this is not strange, because she is so calm and gentle, We know that she will be successful in the business world. l25l yer'-'ws vc WILLIAM COLCLOUGH Assistant Track Manager '22. Bill is small but full of life. His humor and ready smile have made him many friends in P Norwood Hi. We know he will be a success in whatever he undertakes. ROBERT CORDES DORIS DUNN Glee Club '20, '21, '22, '23g Secretary Glee Club '23g Masque and Scroll '23. Doris is very charming and well liked by every one. As the leading lady of our class play she was very successful. We wish Doris happiness in her future life. Robert never has much to say. CHow can he have in such a roomful of talkative girls?J but his grades are always among the highest, especially in shorthand. He is also quite an artist. l27l A- ' DORRIS DUNN We all know the little lady who takes our pennies when we forget out locker keys. Dorris believes the only way to knowledge is by asking questions. She has gained many friends while at N. H. S. for her stock of smiles has never grown low. CHARLES EARHART Orchestra '20, '21, '22, Hi Y '22, '23, Masque and Scroll '22, '23, Football '21, '22, '23, Manager Basket-ball '23: Silhouette Staif '23. Charlie's electrical experience has helped many school plays along. He has shown us that he is a very capable business man by the way in which he managed the basket-ball team. Charles is quite a football player. EMILY EVANS Tennis Club '22, '23, Hiking Club '22, Mirror Staff '22, Masque and Scroll '22, '23, Silhou- ette Staff '23. Em is the last of the Evans tribe, and she cer- tainly will be missed. She is quiet to all appear- ances, but it's a case of deceiving appearances. Em expects to take the kindergarten training course at U. of C. and we know all the children will love her. NORBERT ESCHMEYER Football '20, '21, '22, Manager Basket-ball '21, '225 Class President '21, Silhouette Staff '23? 4 Board of Control '23, Hi Y Secretary '239 Masque and Scroll Secretary '22, Tennis Club '22, '23. Valedictorian and football star - that's Norb. He was also our first class president and a member of the first Board of Control. He is admired by all who know him, and the good wishes of his many friends will go with him to Wisconsin. MARIE FISHER Glee Club '20, '21, '22, '23, Glee Club Secretary '21, '22, Marie's prowess in the lunch room and Glee Club prove her to be as eflicient as she is sweet and shy. We wish Marie the best of luck. i281 r' 'ow ' .....-,,.. ,g v. EARL FERGUSON Fergie is one of the best-looking, as well as one of the most studious boys in the class. His interest in school activities has waned lately, but we think we know the reason. How about it, Earl? REUBEN FRISCH FRANCES GLINS We don't know Frances very well because she lives outside of Norwood. She is very quiet, but always has a sunny smile, and comes up to all the qualifications of a regular school girl. Reuben is the witty one of our class. He has livened up many of our bells with his dry humor, but he can be serious, too.

In witness whereof, we, the undersigned testators, do fix the seal of the Class of June '23, - NORMAN AUBURN, President Witnesses - VIRGINIA BOWEN EARL FERGUSON 441 Y CLASS PROP!-IECY IF WINTER COMES f IN 1933 IT WAS winter. It was cold in New York. I was broke. A week before the doctor had said to me, You must go to a dry climate. The dry irritating cough was increasing and I was getting desperate, so when I saw in the Male Help Wanted column, Pullman Porter for Western Limited, I made a decision. I would disguise myself as a darky and apply for the job. Accordingly bright and early the next morning I appeared at the Consoli- dated Ticket Office. I was directed to a little room labeled Employment Manager. I stepped in and saw a bald, stout, youngish-looking man whom I immediately recognized as Allen Stone, a boy who graduated with me from a little high school back in Ohio. I was surprised to see him and almost blurted out, I thought you were in the navy, but I remembered my position and replied to his curt question, Pullman porter? I said, Yaas, suh e- Let's see your references, he demanded. I gurgled, Boss, some rap- scallion done stole all mah referenchilsf' Evidently porters were scarce for he soon dismissed me telling me to report for work at 8 p. m., on No. 6,832, leaving for Los Angeles at 11.40. He gave me the name of my car,and a list of the berths already engaged. I spent the day strolling around New York saying good-bye to the few acquaintances I had made. At eight I walked down to the station and, after much questioning, found the train. It had just been made up and was being inspected. It was drizzling and I was glad to get inside the warm Pullman car. But I began to lose my nerve, I didn't know the first thing about being a porter, and I began to wonder how long I would last. The car was empty and I was sitting in the first seat thinking. I heard footsteps behind me and then, Are you the new porter? What's your name? Sam, I said. I am Mr. Woodward, the conductor, he said. As soon as I saw him I remembered him and I almost died trying to keep myself from laughing. He took himself so seriously, and he looked so funny in his uniform. Old Vernon Woodward, who used to get such good grades! I had never thought he would be a conductor. He was sharp and it didn't take him long to give me the keys and tell me to get busy. I wanted to identify myself, but he looked so hard I was afraid to do so. He showed me where my uniform, the bedding, broom, and other things were, and left. I was at a loss how to proceed. I did not know how to transform the seats into beds so I went in search of some other porter who would teach me a little about the trade. I passed through three cars and finally stepped into the dining car. I saw a familiar figure sitting at a table fumbling with some papers. It was Bill Martz, and I forgot myself and said, Hi! Bill. What are you doing here? l45I , N He looked up blankly. Ifinally talked him into remembering me and then told him, with much gusto, my hardluck story. He was the steward of the dining car and he was very glad to see me. He told me I had nothing to worry about because he knew every one connected with the train and that he would make one of the waiters help me out on the porter job. Bill had been back in Norwood a few weeks before, and he told me a lot about the old classmates. He said that John Shepherd and Red Scott had been in the real estate busi- ness and, in a quiet sort of a way, had failed, because all their houses had had too many possibilities. I learned from Bill that Mildred Seery was involved in a large law suit for slandering Emily Evans who was running for mayor. Bill would have told me more but one of the waiters came in so we went to make up the berths. The big negro that Bill had assigned to help me was a queer sort of a fellow. He was always peeking out the window and before he would go through a door he would stop and listen. When we got to my car the people were already coming in to get settled. My helper was a fast worker, and after I had watched him a while I knew how to make up the berths. I became interested in the actions of my helper and noticed that his features were not much like a negro's, and that his dialect was sort of forced. He worked so vigorously that he became heated, and I noticed a white circle around his head and strands of yellow hair. He was in disguise as I was, and his wig had slipped up. This amused me, so when we were alone in the smoker I politely told him that his wig had given him away. He looked startled, until I told him that I was in disguise too. He asked me if I was a detective like himself. We ex- changed a few words and then I told him who I Was. A smile came over his face and he heaved a sigh of relief. He then told me who he was, Ray Bradley, of Norwood. Well! We fell on each other's necks. He was a great detective and was hunting a band of counterfeiters. He said I could help him a lot in his work. He told me that he had made a vow never to marry until he caught the counterfeiters. I felt sorry for him and resolved to do all I could to prevent his catching them. Ray went back to the diner and I heard the train pulling out so I finished berths and retired. I awoke early and as there was nothing to do in the Pullman I went to look over the day coaches. We stopped at Cumberland, Maryland, and a number of people got on. 'Here, boy, said the slightly obese, but nevertheless familiar figure of my old classmate, Gene Riley. Where is number 9? I showed him and was rewarded with a nickel which he with difficulty had extracted from a handsome leather vest, on which the maker's label was still visible. It read Kennedy and Backus, Impregnable Money Depositories of All Kinds. I was so affected by Mr. Riley's generostiy that I dropped the j itney on the cement floor of the Pull- man. It made a noise like a pancake and bent double. This extraordinary behavior of the coin aroused my suspicion, and I examined it carefully. It was counterfeit. I have been robbed, yelled Riley, and, taking the putty coin from my fingers tore out of the coach like one possessed. Greatly excited I followed out of the station to a cheap hotel four blocks away where Mr. Riley l46I -. . - --Y --v,!---- had recently stopped to obtain two nickels for a dime. On the way we passed four slumbering policemen who were huddled together on a park bench. From their comatose condition I recognized them immediately as Bob Karch, Norbert Eschmeyer, Earl Ferguson and Bill Hepp. Having with difficulty aroused them and acquainted them with the crime perpetrated on Mr. Riley, they joined us in our man-hunt. Arriving at the hotel, we collared the clerk, who, nat- urally, yelled in a loud voice, Unhand me, youse guys, or I'll knock your heads off and throw them in your faces. We then laughed uproariously at this example of medieval humor. I recognized my old friend Reuben Frisch, who specialized in this brand of wit. When the matter was explained to him, he pointed accusingly at a long, bony gentleman, who was wrestling desperately with a hemp stogie. That's your man, the clerk said, He bought the cigar with it. I gasped in astonishment. The man was no other than Dick Whiting. We advanced menacingly toward our former classmate and lunged violently at him. He drew back haughtily and throwing open his coat, displayed a huge star which made us gasp in amazement and chagrin. We were caught red- handed in an attempt to assault and batter an officer of the law. The cops all shrank back in terror at the sight of their boss in disguise, for they didn't recognize Dick Whiting Without his Tom Logans. The trouble was at once made clear, and Dick immediately wanted to see the mangled coin which Riley had so generously given me. Holding the putty-like object beneath a powerful glass he immediately recognized its origin. I could not help admiring the calm serenity with which he announced his verdict. This, he said, is the work of the Krags! So saying he whisked from our sight and we were left gaping. Riley roused us to action since we must not forget that it was his nickel which Whiting had made off with. We all galloped down the street in hot but futile chase. A newsboy on the corner was the next object in our path and deliberately shoved his wares in our faces. Astonishment is too mild to describe our joy when we recognized our million-dollar newsboy of high school days, Charles Butler. He had not seen Whiting, but would sell us a paper. My dime was changed into a nickel, three coppers and a bundle of news. Headlines in flaring red type announced the re-election of Charles Christy as Imperial Wizard of Ku Kluxery. To divert our minds from this routine we sought refreshment in the comic section of which Clarence Shepler was editor. This was not surprising to me for Shorty had always displayed marked ability along these lines. Who are those two men who look like Gallagher and Shean? someone asked. Lo and behold if we weren't reading the Adventures of Chapman and Bernens with illustrations by Williams. The day waned and our stop-over was extended too long already, so return- ing to the train we resumed our journey. The road lay along a beautiful highway which ran parallel to the tracks for miles. A distant putter from the rear aroused my curiosity. Neck and neck came two racers down this beautiful stretch. The one a Dewitt Special, the other an Auburn Beauty Six were contending for the Amateur Road Hog Championship. We cannot say who l47l won, for Earhart fowner of the Dewittj and Auburn were so intense in their rivalry that they failed to observe that the road turned and they didn't! The train halted abruptly and threw us all forward a car or so. Fear that the end had come caused many of us to leap through the windows, clear of the cars. The cause of our agitation was soon apparent, however, when we per- ceived a long parade slowly marching across the tracks in front of the engine. As porter, I felt it my duty to remove the obstacle, but found myself terribly abashed and horribly blushing Cbeneath my black paintj to find Emma Boger's Hiking Club playing leap-frog from tie to tie. Old friends galore loomed up before meg Esther Hamilton, Claire Harkness, Ruth Sarles and Elizabeth Pendery, playing frog, while Joe Goehler, Marie Scanlon, Elizabeth Hines and Janet Shivler did the leaping. The engineer and fireman, who had been very abusive heretofore, suddenly became quite aimable, and why not? No one would ever accuse Ray Rau or George Morgan of being overbearing. The meeting adjourned and the train pushed on once more, only to be arrested anew in its fiight. Doors were violently slammed and lights turned out. Things looked much more ominous than previously. Two guns spat at my ear, and rather than betray my true race, I allowed my knees to tremble as any respectable porter should. From the corner of my very wide awake eyes I perceived that our visitors were masked and deadly. The two hold-up men systematically ransacked every pocket in the car and I realized the jinx was up. But the sight of a mirror was too much for these desperadoes who immediately yanked off their masks and daubed their comely noses with a wicked puff. Masks are deceiving, but mirrors are not, and our erstwhile gunmen were no others than Pauline Johnson and Isabel Affleck who had gone into the Money or your life game as partners. So petrified were the passengers at this daring piece of audacity that the two women serenely took their leave, bag and baggage, as Caesar often said. Thus lightened of our burdens, the train again steamed merrily over the clicking rails. At Chicago we picked up the accoutrements of the Chicago Opera Company en route to Omaha. Doris Dunn and Dorris Dunn both came on board, chaperoned by the retired Mary Garden, and became so confused over their luggage, that they took different coaches in order to keep from any Hentangling alliances as George Washington so fittingly remarked. Accompanying these celebrities were several groups of chorus girls and their accompanying swains. Elizabeth Mason, Florence Darling, Mildred Pendery, Mabel Scheiffele, Ruth Harrington, Helen Armstrong and Cornelia Raidt were the operatic soprani who attracted me with their splendor. Colclough and Kennedy were basses in this stupendous tour. - A sign-board bearing an S. S. S. S. Sink or Swim Cure advertisement bore the signature of Marie Scanlon, Emma Schwein, Esther Starbuck and Elsie Seilkop. The Hoerr and Hoerr Dandruff Cure is another familiar product manufactured by Bill and Grace of our class. Just before the train l4S entered the yards at Omaha, Isadora Holloway terrified the passengers by diving from the Suspension Bridge. Before leaving Omaha, the train was held on a siding for the Overland freight. Just as the last cattle car left us, a haggard unshaven body was assisted from the rods by a jovial brakeman. Peet, the brakeman, was in the act of giving this Knight of the Road the count of ten when a sickening gleam of light shown in his face. His old pal, this hobo, hardly recognized Peet, but behind his whiskers one could easily discern the hollow eyes of Tom Grace. Misery and suffering had been his lot, ever since he failed in the garbage busi- ness. My first trip had proved so successful I felt that the Golden Gate was a fitting haven for such a journey. Thanking my lucky stars for my delivery, I left the coach and proceeded to spend my earnings. The Korengel Dime Museum was so entertaining I proceeded to collect some souvenirs of the place when an arm of the law hauled me before Judge Edward Wilson, who threatened me with bread and water, but punished me by asking the following question, Where does the candle go, when it goes out? which rendered me unconscious for weeks. Doctor Hayes administered everything but the requiem to me, while the able nursing of Miss Bowen pulled me through. My health regained, I walked the streets of Chinatown one fine blue Monday morning. Standing on a curb was a handsome mandarin selling Spearmint, 2 for 5c. This was none other than Howard Ader who had just been ousted from the movies for damaging twelve cameras. Clanging bells and sirens diverted my attention from my former buddy and the fire engines on Wong Lu Street were the next objects of interest. The heroic work of the firemen was due in no small measure to the gallant leadership afforded them by Captain Backus and Lieutenant Haas. The Salvage Corps came just in time to save Edward Weisgerber from dropping from a burning window, where he was hanging by his pigtail alone. However, everything was righted by the time Chief Schubert was on the scene. The fire, like this story, was extinguished. The conclusion we leave to Munchausen.

AUTOGRAPHS X 531 TH TICS ff f M e F p x M KK C. H. FORDYCE Alhlefic DiT?CflIT FOOTBALL THE SEASON THE football season at N. H. S. this year was a repetition of last year's success. The team won seven, tied one and lost one out of the nine games played and scored a total of 265 points to their opponents' 51. The first two games of the season were played at home against Newport and Miamisburg, and each resulted in a comparatively easy victory for the home boys. The next game, against Hughes, was a horse of a different color. The game was played at Carson Field and resulted in a 12 to 6 win for the Cincinnati eleven. Norwood gained ground much more consistently than Hughes, but whenever they threatened to score their heavier opponents held and took the ball on downs. It was not until late in the second half that Our Boys were able to score, Eschmeyer taking the ball over after a spectacular march down the field by the Norwood backfield. The final whistle, a few minutes later, halted another Norwood rally, and the string of tie games between the two schools was broken. To prove that the defeat did not affect their morale the team came back beautifully the following week and ran up eleven touchdowns against Wood- ward. Every man on the squad got into this game and gave a good account of himself. On Friday, October 27, the boys journeyed to Hyde Park for their annual clash with the East Side Tigers. The game started off much like the Hughes contest, with our opponents scoring first and leading, 6 to 0, at the end of the half. Coach Fordyce's charges got under way in the second stanza however, and ran up three touchdowns while holding their opponents scoreless. The victory, although highly satisfactory to Old Norwood, was marred by the serious injury of Howard Yingling, guard, who suffered a dislocated hip, which kept him out of football togs for the balance of the season. Eschmeyer and Bettinger also received injuries which kept them out of the next game with Covington. The absence of these two ground-gainers was a severe handicap to the team, but the boys were equal to the occasion, and came back from Kentucky with a 10 to 7 victory added to their ever-lengthening string. The following week they tackled Miami Military Institute at Germantown, and had little trouble winning 20 to 6. On Saturday, November 18, the Big Red was scheduled to meet Wilmington High at Norwood, but old J. Pluvius interfered and the game was postponed for a week. This gave the team two games in three days as they were booked to play Lockland at Lockland on Thursday. This contest looked like fish for Norwood, and Coach Fordyce started the second team, intending to save the regulars for Saturday. The scrubs did not live up to expectations, however, and the Locklanders ran up two touchdowns against them in the iirst quarter. The first team men were then sent to the rescue and played rings around their opponents the balance of the game. The damage, however, had been done and the best we could do was a 20 to 20 tie. Oh, well, better than a defeat at that. l54l The next day word was received that Wilmington would not be able to play because of the death of the captain's mother. Rather than disappoint the large crowd that had bought tickets, and not wishing another postponement, Coach Fordyce substituted the Blanchester High School gridders. To say that Blanchester did not have a good team would discredit our own victory, but it must be admitted that the visiting eleven was no Wilmington by a long shot, and hence was no match for our noble warriors. The final count, as nearly as we could make out, was 70 to O, with the locals scoring almost at will and the visitors never even threatening. All in all the game served as a fitting windup to one of the most successful seasons ever enjoyed by a Norwood High football squad. THE TEAM When practice started last fall, Coach Fordyce had these letter men around which to build his team: Billy Hoerr, Charlie Earhart, Cobbles Ross, Shorty Shepler, and Bill Rednour, linesmeng and Joe Aston, captain-elect, Norb Eschmeyer and Wally Bettinger, backfield men. Lemcke Qcaptain and guardj, Kudell Ctackleb, Kaufhold Cquarterbackb, and Jacob Chalfbackb, had been lost by graduation and Charlie Hoerr Ctacklej had quit school. It was no easy task to fill the holes left by these men but, besides Grace, Miller, Peet and Pons from last year's subs, there was an abundance of new material out for practice, and it was not long before Coach had gotten together a team which not only looked but was as strong as the great team of the year before. Shepler and Rednour returned to the ends. Hoerr had no opposition at center. Grace, Earhart and Zimmerman, a new man, held down the two guard positions between them. Ross, a guard the year before, filled one of the tackle positions, and Peet and Whiting, the latter another new man, did a good job of filling Swede Kudell's shoes at the other. In the backfield Eschmyer switched from half to full, Where he was a fixture for the seasong Pons proved to be a second Kaufhold at quarter and Captain Aston, Bettinger, and Stone divided the work of the two half-backs between them. Besides these regulars there were several subs on hand who would have been regulars on most teams. Earl Miller, probably the hardest worker on the squad, was ready to fill any vacancy on the line and would not have been entirely at sea in the backfield, Hiram Bolsinger made the ends keep stepping to hold their jobs, Howard Yingling and David Frisch were always anxious to show their wares at one of the guard or tackle positions, and Morell Hagen, Fred Yingling, and Don Meyers were all backfield subs par excellence. The team usually lined up as mentioned above, but on several occasions they were shifted around because of injuries or some other cause. For instance, Ross took Eschmeyer's place at fullback in the Covington game, Aston played one or two games at end, Earhart had a brief whirl at tackle, and Bettinger called signals from quarter for a part of two games. In all these cases the players put up just as good a game in their new positions as they had done at their customary places. l55I In only two games did all the second team men get to play. These were the Woodward and Lockland affairs. They did not resemble champions in either of these games but they will, no doubt, show a great improvement next year. The following men, not so far mentioned got into these battles: Wolfe, Hayes, Kaucher, Fetter, Green, and Levison. Late in November the Cincinnati papers published their selection for All- Cincinnati teams, and three Norwood men were picked on almost all the teams. These men were Whitie Pons, Dick Zimmerman, and Charlie Earhart. Billy Hoerr, center for two years, and undoubtedly the best high school snapper- back Greater Cincinnati has seen in years was overlooked because the captains of East and Hughes both happened to be centers. Fifteen men earned football letters this year. They were Joe Aston, Walter Bettinger, Charles Earhart, Norbert Eschmeyer, Tom Grace, William Hoerr, Leslie Peet, Ray Pons, William Rednour, Martin Ross, Clarence Shepler, Allen Stone, Warren Welborne Cmanagerj, Richard Whiting, and Richard Zimmerman. Of these Aston, Earhart, Eschmeyer, Grace, Hoerr, Peet, Shepler, Stone, and Whiting graduate this June, so it is evident that Coach will have a harder job to develop a team next year than he did this. At present it looks like next year's team will line up something like this: Rednour and Bolsinger, ends, Ross and Wolfe or Fetter, tackles, Zimmerman and H. Yingling, guards, Miller, center, Pons, quarterback, Bettinger, fullback, Hagen and Meyers or F. Yingling, half-backs. It is to be hoped that several new men will turn up next fall, for the squad will be rather short of subs. If two men like Zimmerman and Whiting can be developed again, N. H. S. will have a good chance of repeating the records made in the last two years. The Scores for the Season Norwood. . . . .......,. 20 Newport. . . , .

Our basket-tossers played a total of twenty-one games, winning sixteen and los- ing only five. They scored a total of 598 points to their opponents 392, an average of almost ten points more per game. Any team that so far outscores its opponents is bound to Win games. The team took part in three basket-ball tournaments, the Tri-State Tourna- ment at the University of Cincinnati, the Southwestern Ohio Sectional Tourna- ment at Miami University, Oxford, and the State Championship Tournament at Ohio State University, Columbus. This year's quintet was the first Norwood team to play for the state championship, and although they didn't Win the Columbus tournament, their good work in earning the right to participate in it was highly appreciated by the student body of the school. The biggest games of the season were, of course, played in these three tour- naments, but several important contests were staged, so it will be well to start at the beginning and review the entire season. The first game was played early in December with Loveland at Norwood, and proved to be nothing more than a practice affair for our boys. Score 62 to 20. Next came the Gymettes at the Cincinnati Gym. On a strange floor and against an older and heavier team, our plucky representatives displayed a brand of basket-ball which easily beat a team that was victorious over all other high school teams in Greater Cincinnati. In Batavia, whose team they played the following week, the boys ran into a team that knew more about fighting than playing basket-ball. Several fights and near-fights marred the game, but the locals, who tended strictly to their knitting, came out of the fracas with a third scalp dangling from their belt. A few days later, the team tackled the U. C. Scrubs, with both Captain Riley and Zimmerman out of the game. Riley's basket-shooting was sorely missed, and although they fought hard the high school lads suffered their first loss by a margin of one point, 22 to 21. Ohio Military and Lockland were next on the schedule, in the order named. Both games were played at Norwood and were easy victories for the wearers of the Red. In the two Ohio Mechanics games, played on successive Tuesdays, the squad ran into much stiffer opposition than they had anticipated. Kuen- ning's work on under the basket shots won the first of these games by two points and the stellar playing of Jones and Riley late in the second half won the other by three points. Sandwiched between these two games was the contest with our Indiana rivals, Aurora High. It was played at Norwood before a packed house. The first half found our boys sadly off form and the down-the-river quintet ran up l58l a commanding lead in the first twenty minutes of play. No one knows what Coach told them between halves, but the locals came back fighting and at the start of the last quarter tied the score at 25 to 25. In the last nine minutes they scored twelve points and held Aurora scoreless! 37 to 25. The next game at Miamisburg, was much easier. Kid Riley had his eye on the basket and accounted for 18 of his team's 34 points. Eaton High journeyed to N. H. S. the following week and put the second crimp in our winning percentage. The first half was much like the Aurora game, but the boys could not come back as they did against the Indiana bunch, and dropped the game by a margin of six points. The Covington game, the week before the Tri-State Tournament, was too easy to mention. Two more games, exclusive of tournament contests, were played and these will be dealt with before passing on to the tournaments. The Stivers game, played at Dayton between the University of Cincinnati and Miami University tournaments, was a big disappointment. Although Stivers always turns out good teams, it was thought they would at least meet their equal in Norwood. The goal-shooting of the Big Red, however, was below the standard and al- though they pulled a belated rally near the end of the game, which was stopped short by the whistle, they were handed their worst defeat of the year Cwhich wasn't so worst at thatj, 38 to 24. The season wound up on March 23 with a game with the alumni. Lack of practice worked to the disadvantage of the graduates and they were beaten by the regulars 33 to 14. The following men played with the alumni: Clark Valentiner, Howard Wisenfelder, Gordon Seery, Larry Devanney, Eddie Evans, Carl Haufhold, Bob Coleman and Harold Debold. Miller for the school team and Valentiner for the graduates were the individual stars. THE TRI -STATE TOURNAMENT Norwood and the University School played the first game in this tourna- ment at eight o'clock in the morning. Not being used to getting out of bed and jumping right into basket-ball togs, our boys were not at their best, but still were plenty good enough to avoid being the first team to be eliminated from further competition. This honor C75 they kindly bestowed on their worthy opponents. By three o'clock in the afternoon Captain Riley and his cohorts were thoroughly warmed up, and proceeded to hand Hamilton Catholic High School a sound trouncing in the second round of the tournament. The third round brought Norwood and Elwood, Indiana, together. The latter was the favorite to win the tournament, but was expected to have her hands full in the Norwood game. We'll say she did! The first half found N. H. S. six points to the good and visions of a championship were passing before the eyes of the rooters. Between halves Joe Lemcke got out on the floor and had everyone in the big gym yelling for Old Norwood. Elwood had not l59l shot her bolt however, and came back in the last frame with an offense that completely baffied her lighter opponents. Basket after basket was made by the Indiana lads and when the game ended they were on the long end of a 25 to 14 score. Norwood was beaten by a superior team, by a team which eventually won the tournament, but it may be said to the team's credit that they gave Elwood the hardest fight that the latter encountered in winning the championship. THE SECTIONAL TOURNAMENT Smarting under the sting of two straight defeats inflicted by Elwood and Stivers, Coach's basket-tossers journeyed to Oxford on March 2 to take part in the Class A division of the Southwestern Ohio Sectional Tournament held at Miami University. Twelve teams besides Norwood were entered in Class A which was composed of schools having an enrollment of more than one hundred and fifty boys, these were Dayton Steele, Dayton Stivers, Hamilton, Hamilton Catholic, St. Xavier, Middletown, Springfield, Piqua, Wilmington, Greenville, Xenia, and Troy. Play was to continue until all but two teams were eliminated, and these two winners were to play in the state tournament as representatives of southwestern Ohio. The first round of Class A was played Friday night, with Norwood meeting our old foe, Middletown High. And what a beating we gave them! Not as bad, perhaps, as the memorable half-game last year, but the Big Red got away in front and then took things easy, scoring just often enough to hold the lead throughout the game. The score was 23 to 17. Jones was the big noise sinking six baskets from all over the Hoor.

Troy drew a bye. In the second round, on Saturday, Norwood won her second game putting Wilmington out of the running by the count of 16 to 7. The issue was never in doubt, Norwood being superior to her opponents in every thing but size. No one had a monopoly on the basket, Jones and Riley dividing the scoring l60l honors almost equally between them. Pons was out of most of the game because of an injury to his nose.

Dayton Stivers drew a bye. In the last round Norwood was paired with the crack Hamilton High quintet, considered a sure winner of the Miami tournament and a good bet in the state tournament. This reputation, however, meant nothing to Norwood, whose fighting spirit was up and who was not to be turned back now that she had fought her way to the finals. Playing with the same determination that had carried them through the first two games, our plucky quintet pulled the unexpected and snowed the Big Blue team under by the score of 25 to 11. This game was the biggest upset of the high school basket-ball season and did more to put Old Norwood o-n the basket-ball map than any other game on the schedule. Jones' shooting was a little off in this game, but Riley, Stone and Pons made up for this by caging most of their shots. The entire squad played a good floor game, and clearly demonstrated their superiority over their Hamil- ton opponents.

N. H. S. was given three positions on the All-Tournament teams, Pons at guard on the first team and Riley at forward and Stone at guard on the second team. As usual, the teams were picked on their showing in the finals. If all 611 the games had been given equal consideration, four instead of three wearers of the Red would deserve positions on the two teams. Jones' work in the first two games showed him to be the equal of any forward in the tournament. A pleasing feature of the Class B tournament was the elimination of Eaton by Miamisburg. As you remember, Norwood scored an easy victory over the latter on Miamisburg's fioor, but was defeated by Eaton. THE STATE TOURNAMENT The next week, with one championship already under their belts, our noble warriors journeyed to Columbus after the state title. Their first game was with Coach Fordyce's old school, Marietta High. Our boys, although the smallest team in the tournament, were determined to make a good showing, especially since nearly fifty rooters had made the trip, hoping to see them continue their triumphant march. They took the floor at 12.15, full of fight and pepper, but before the game was well under way it became apparent that things were not working very smoothly and, in addition, the team was not getting the breaks Shot after shot hit the rim and rolled off. It can't be explained, the boys just weren't themselves, that's all that can be said. In the second half they showed a flash of their old form, but the lead Marietta had piled up was too great to overcome and so Norwood suffered her fifth and last defeat, 20 to 14. Although greatly disappointed, the rooters stuck with the team to the finish, and it is safe to say that not one of them .was sorry he made the trip. They all remembered that the defeat was even a greater disappointment to the team than it was to them. The players felt they had been beaten by an inferior team and all declared that Marietta could never do it again. Any Norwoodite who saw the game will undoubtedly agree with this. However, it's over now and no post mortem will change the result. To be eligible to play in the state tournament is an honor in itself, and the appreciation of the entire school goes out to the team, whose great work brought fame and glory to Old Norwood.

The other southwestern Ohio team, Dayton Steele, met a similar fate, b eliminated by Alliance High in the first round. eing l62 l THE TEAM Coach Fordyce's greatest task at the beginning of the basket-ball season was to fill the places left by Clark Valentiner and James McPherson, letter men, who had graduated. Besides these two, he had lost Kudell, Coleman and Kauf- hold, all reliable subs the year before, while Gade, who was counted on to fill Mads shoes, had left school. Riley 1captain-elect5, Jones and Pons, all letter men, formed the nucleus around which the team was built. Stone, back with more speed than ever, was assured of a guard position, and Dick Zimmerman, making his first appearance in a basket-ball uniform, fitted in nicely at center. Old Faithful Miller and Vic Meyers were back on the squad, ready to jump in and fill the breach, and Kuenning, a new man, saw a good deal of service as a substitute forward and center. Bud Valentiner, younger brother of the famous Clark, played little this year, but should be the bee's knees next season. These men formed the regular squad, but several good second-string men were on hand early in the season and got into several games. The big point scorers this year were Pons 11935, Riley 11425, and Jones 11215. Pons' big score was due partly, of course, to his foul shots. In field goals Captain Riley led his team with 69. Jones and Pons engaged in a close race for second honors with Runt just nosing Jonesie out in the alumni game in which J ones played only a few minutes. The stocky forward was far behind Pons before the tournament games, but his great work at Oxford and Columbus brought him almost up to his friendly rival. These two men were also the team's iron men, being the only players to take part in all twenty-one games. Riley and Zimmerman missed only one and Stone was out of two. A record of all the men who played in one or more first team games follows: Field Total Player Games Goals Fouls Points Pons ...... .... 2 1 60 73 193 Riley .... .... 2 0 69 4 142 Jones .... ..., 2 1 59 3 121 Stone .,... .,.. 1 9 28 0 56 Miller .,.. .... 1 2 16 3 35 Meyers ..... .... 9 10 0 20 Kuenning ...., ..., 1 4 7 0 14 Bettinger .... .... 4 4 0 8 Valentiner ..... .... 3 2 1 5 Zimmerman ...., .... 2 0 1 0 2 Welborne ..... .... 3 1 0 2 Hayes ....., .... 1 0 0 0 Byron ....,. .... 1 0 0 0 Totals .... ,,,,... 2 57 84 598 l63I Dunn and Johnson, although much too light for high school basket-ball, deserve much credit for their work on the scrubs all season. Watch them next year! The five regulars, Howell Jones, Gene Riley, Richard Zimmerman, Ray Pons and Allen Stone, and Manager Charles Earhart were the only men to make their letters. Earle Miller, Vic Meyers and Howard Kuenning all missed letters not because of inferiority, but because only five men could be played at one time and a stable line-up was necessary to the team's success. Riley and Stone will be lost by graduation this spring and Jones and Kuen- ning will be available only until February next year. This leaves the following men to bear the brunt of next season's work: Pons Cappointed captainj, Zimmer- man, Miller, Meyers and Valentiner. Jones and Kuenning will add much strength to the team in the early games and if Dunn and Johnson can put on some weight this summer they should help out enormously. Then, too, new men may turn up as Kuenning and Zimmerman did this year. All in all the prospects are at least as bright as they were for this season, and see what the boys did this year!

And, of course, the climax was the winning of our first cup, at the Second Tri-State Tournament held at the University of Cincinnati, March 10. The Bearcat said, The Norwood team was noted for its good coaching, clean playing and good sportsmanship throughout the tourney. That statement is something to be proud of. But then, what else could be expected, when the team was under the supervision of two such splen- did people as Miss Rogatzky and Mr. Miller? Miss Rogatzky was big sister and chaperon to the team, and Mr. Miller was coach. We know that many more cups will be brought to Norwood High through their excellent work. The star of the season was Jo Goehler, the peppy side-center. This is J o's last year in school, but her first on the team. By her brilliant Work in the center box, however, she more than made up for the three years she did not play. Virginia Warner, our tall center, played an excellent game, but because of mid-year graduation, she was not able to remain with the team throughout the season. Another girl who has made a name for herself as forward is Elizabeth Rad- cliffe. This is Elizabeth's first year at basket-ball, but none of the opposing teams believe that. She plays like an old-timer and has pulled the team out of many tight places with her field goals. Emily Dickman, forward, is picked for a shining star in basket-ball in the near future. Emily's clean shots have been the wonder and admiration of more than one boy as well as of our opponents. Esther Kahle is another forward who has helped the team pile up its score. Esther likes to jump up, pick the ball out of the air and make a basket while her opponents are still wondering what to do next. Mildred Easton is a guard, or rather, is the guard. She plays a wonderful brand of basket-ball and always manages to be in the right place at the right time. Compare our score total with those of our opponents. Quite a differ- ence, eh? Mil had lots to do with that. Ruth Thomas, guard, was usually Mil's side-partner in keeping down the other team's scores. Ruth did not play the entire season because of illness, but when she did play, she played. Mildred Klein is developing into a fine guard and will make a name for herself in basket-ball before she graduates. lone Ogle is our little guard, but she has made more than one forward wish that she had never seen Ione. What she lacks in height she makes up in speed. For her size, lone is one of the best guards Norwood has ever had. l66 Mildred Pohlman, center, took Virginia Warner's place on the team, and immediately made good. We can say for Mil that very few of her opponents have been able to out-jump her. Marjorie Bowman is a dandy forward, but because of the number of girls already playing that position, has not been in many games. Marg has a good eye for shooting both field goals and fouls. We expect to hear from her in bas- ket-ball before long. Ruth Harrington was our very capable manager. She was ably assisted by Henrietta Erdman. Norwood High never produced a better player than Marie Scanlon. She probably is the most versatile of all. She is an excellent player in all three posi- tions. Marie earned four letters. She made the team her first year which very few have done. She was elected captain in her junior and senior years, a rare honor, and filled the position perfectly. She has always been a hard and GIRLS' BASKETBALL Standing left to right' fThomas, Bowman, Easton, Manager Erdman, Pohlman, Kahle, Kline, Ogle.

Norwood has the honor of having three girls on the All-Star Team, namely, Elizabeth Radcliffe, forward, Marie Scanlon, center, and Josephine Goehler, side-center. THE SCORES Norwood. . A . .....

Several years ago the school could boast of quite a large team but somehow this organization went into a state of Hinocuous desue- tude, and until recently has remained as quiet as the mummy of old King Tut. However, in February, 1923, two senior girls with the aid of Mrs. Eckel, the girls' physical culture instructress, after having received official approval, organized the department of aquatic sports, in other words, the swimming team. So far it has already been asked to participate in two meets, but owing to the fact that the club has just been organized, a refusal had to be made to the first invitation. The second, through, is a challenge from the girls' team of East High School, for May 16, which has been accepted. ESTHER HAMILTON and EMMA BOGER, Promoters. I 68 l BASEBALL THE baseball season began late this year due to rainy Fridays early in the season. The first two games with Wyoming and Ohio Military Institute were called off because of weather conditions and up to press time only one game had been played, a three-inning practice affair with the University of Cincinnati Scrubs. The boys dropped this one, 4 to 2, but were slow in getting started and probably would have won had the game gone the regulation distance. This year's team will miss Valentiner, Coleman, McPherson, Knudsen and Marz, but several promising men are on hand to take their places and prospects are bright for a successful season. Miller and Hayes will alternate behind the bat this year and Fetter, Pons and the new men, Korengel and Woodruff, will carry the pitching burden. Bradley will probably hold down first, Pistor and Martz are putting up a hot fight for the second base job, Stone appears to have a clear field at third, and Pons will cover short when not in the box. The out- field will probably be composed of Burling, a freshman, in left, Rednour in center and one of the pitchers in right. Shepler, one of last year's lettermen, was out because of sickness early in the season, and it remains to be seen where he will break in. He will probably play second or right, or take Pons' place at short when Runt is in the box. Bud Valentiner will be around for general utility work and pinch-hitting. This appears to be the composition of the team at press time, but several changes are likely to take place later. Here is the schedule which will probably be completed before this article reaches its readers: April 24 - Lockland at Lockland. May 8 - Ohio Military at College Hill. April 26 A Wyoming at Norwood. May 11 - Covington at Covington. April 27 - Milford at Norwood. May 24 - East Side at Norwood. May 4 - Wyoming at Wyoming. June 1 - Woodward at Deer Creek. l69I BASEBALL Standing left to right-Burling, Martz, Hayes, Valentiner, Coach Fordyce, Manager Warner, Stone, Hayes, Pons.

I70l TRACK THE track team, according to present indications, will be entered in only two meets this year, but if the boys get down to hard work they have a good chance to win at least one of them, a victory that would mean much to the school. The first of these is the Southwestern Ohio Sectional Track and Field Meet, at Miami'University, Oxford, on May 19. The winner of this meet will journey to Ohio State University, Columbus, the following week, to compete for the state title. If our boys cop the Oxford meet, they will, therefore, show their wares at Columbus, otherwise they will take part in the University of Cincinnati meet which is held on the same days as the state meet, May 25-26. Korengel, last year's captain, is devoting all his time to baseball this year but Sheperd, Rednour and Stone are back again and much is expected of them. Sheperd has been appointed captain. This trio is ably backed by several new men and three or four from last year's squad, all of whom are showing improve- ment in their work. Zimmerman's shot-putting is especially noteworthy.

Our first election resulted in choosing Warren Wel- bourne, President, Alice Bausmith, Vice-President, Mildred Isler, Secretary, and Le Roy Hayes, Treasurer. The next semester David Affleck was our efficient president, while Kathryn Curl, Mildred Isler and Freeman Young did justice to the responsibilities of their offices. Now We are Seniors and Howard Kuenning, Helen Walker, Ruth Miller, and David Affleck are our illustrious officers. Our class is well represented in the high school activities. Ruth Thomas, Howell Jones, and Howard Kuenning play on our famous basket-ball teams, and Warren Welbourne is baseball manager, Vice-President of the Hi-Y, and received a letter for serving as football manager. In closing, the A2 class wishes to thank its advisors, Miss Sutor, Miss Nellie Fairweather, Miss Morton, and Mr. Dunn, for their valuable counsel and to wish each and every member of the June graduating class success and happiness.

He, with the greatest mastery and judg- ment, guided her through the half-year. His very capable assistants were Marion Schmidt, Robert Barrows, and Mary Elizabeth Lansdowne. Soon after organization, the class ratified a constitution and selected as its colors scarlet and gray. October 25 witnessed the memorable Junior Mask Dance. This was one of the most successful social events of the year. The class was well represented among the various school activities. Two members, Ray Pons and Dick Zimmerman, achieved singular distinction, being picked as members of the All-high Football Team of Cincinnati. Jack Ker- ley also upheld the laurels of the- class with his many poems and stories which were published in the Mirror. For the secondsemester Harry Fry was elected to the presidency with Cin- trilla Carver, Vice-President, Audrey Watson, Secretary 5 and Mary E. Lans- downe, in return for her fine work the first half, re-elected as Treasurer. Under this regime the affairs of the class were carried on in a most efficient manner. Now as we draw nearer to the culmination of the year's work and in the distance catch a glimpse of our ultimate goal, let us remember our kind friends, who labored so patiently in our behalf that we might be better able to cope with life's problems later on, and with the poet say: Four things a man must learn to do If he would make his record true, To think without confusion, clearly, To love his fellow-men sincerely g To act from honest motives purely 5 To trust in God and heaven securely. SIDNEY TRAVERS. I75 l BOARD OF CONTROL Standing left to right- Mr. Hostetler, Norbert Eschmeyer. Seated Y- Esther Hamilton, Mr. Warmoth, Miss Nute. l76 THE BOARD OF CONTROL THE Board of Control was created by the Faculty in order Uto clarify in the minds of parents as well as pupils the conditions under which school societies may organize and function, and to fix definitely the responsibility for the same. Monday, September 25, 1922, the Faculty elected three teachers, Mr. Ray Warmoth, Mr. Emil Hostetler, Miss Mary Louise Nute, and two students, Esther Hamilton, and Norbert Eschmeyer, to serve on this Board of Control. The Board held its first meeting Tuesday, September 26. Mr. Warmoth was elected chairman and Esther Hamilton secretary. This being a new Board in Norwood High, its first business was to notify the school organizations of its existence and powers, as well as to acquaint them with the rules under which they must function. The most important are as follows: Each organization is required to work under a constitution which has been approved by and filed with the Board. No contract shall be entered into involving the expenditure of money unless the money is in the treasury of the organization making the contract, or unless special permission is given by the Board of Control. The books of the treasurer of each organization must be audited at least twice during the school year. Membership on the Board of Control, office in any school organization, managership or assistant managership of any school team is to be considered an official position. No pupil shall be eligible to any official position unless he has at least 70ffQ in each subject for the previous semester. No pupil may hold more than one ofiicial position at any one time. During the year various matters of a serious nature have been discussed and acted upon by the Board. Its chief aims have been to establish harmony among the various organizations, to create a loyal, whole-hearted school spirit, and to promote an atmosphere of one for all and all for one. With such a goal before us, all organizations have been working to put Norwood High in the lead in every respect. The first Board of Control has completed a very successful year and it wishes its successors the same. ESTHER HAMILTON. I TTf ATHLETIC ASSOCIATION Standing, left to right - - Mr. Miller, Mr. Fordyce, Sidney Travers. Seated, Marie Scanlon, John Sheperd, Miss Foote. V781 THE N. H. S. ATHLETIC ASSOCIATION THE Norwood High School Athletic Association is a school organiza- tion to promote and finance all athletics at Norwood High School. Its membership includes all members of the school who pay the annual dues, and at its head is the Athletic Board made up of three students chosen from the Asso- ciation, and three Faculty Advisors, appointed by the Principal. For the years 1922-23 the organization had two hundred and fifty members. The present board consists of John Shepherd, President, Marie Scanlon, Vice-Presidentg Sidney Travers, Secretary, Mr. Cary S. Miller, Treasurer, Miss Foote, and Mr. Fordyce. Virginia Warner was elected Vice-President on October 20, 1922, but was forced to resign on account of her mid-year graduation, so Marie Scan- lon was appointed to fill this vacancy. The Athletic Association has made the sports of N. H. S. more attractive to participants by furnishing all equipment for the teams, and by sending them on many fine trips. Many types of fence around the athletic field have been considered, but this year the Athletic Association has made these thoughts materialize by raising enough money by popular subscription to erect an eight foot galvanized wire fence all around the field. The Athletic Board petitioned the Board of Educa- tion to erect this fence, but they, being unable to do it, suggested that we raise the money by popular subscription. This suggestion was acted upon and through pep meetings and much hard work the grand total of 552,500 was reached. The high school membership deserves mention for donating about S3700 to the good cause. After this fence has been finished the Association hopes to make a cinder track around the field and build a grandstand capable of seating two thousand people. The Athletic Association has accomplished much this year and has added greatly to the progressiveness of N. H. S. during 1923. JOHN SHEPHERD. l 79 l PARENT - TEACHERS' ASSOCIATION THE Norwood High School Parent-Teachers' Co-operative Association, which was formed in March, 1920, is undoubtedly a direct result of the ex- cellent work which the various associations in the elementary schools have been doing for many years. The moving spirits in organizing this association were convinced that co-operation between the home and the high school ought to be as constant and effective as in the elementary grades, moreover they believed if it were, that many of the difficult problems of the high school and the high school age would find an easier solution. To this end an organization was effected, having as its purpose: To establish a closer relation between the home and school, to discuss the mutual work of home and school, and to awaken interest in civic conditions especially along educational lines. One of the earliest projects in which the Association became engaged was providing a library for the school. At that time, three years ago, the library room was used only at commencement, when the graduates received their friends there. Today the library is used constantly as a study hall, and since last September, it has become a library in real truth. In these few months, volumes have been purchased, collected and catalogued by Miss Sutor, who has been devoting a great deal of time to this work. While the Board of Education has been giving assistance in this cause too, it was the Parent-Teachers' Association which gave the first impetus to this cause. The greatest financial success which the organization has experienced was its first bazaar in November of 1922. Committees and sub-committees worked valiantly and long, with the result that over a thousand dollars was cleared. This money was divided between the Mirror, which was struggling under a debt at that time, and the library. With this assistance, the Mirror was able to make a fresh start and is now maintaining itself, and the work of teachers and pupils has been made easier by the acquisition of many reference volumes to the library. It would be ungrateful to conclude this account without mention of those who have served the Association as executives. Mr. Gerrit Raidt was Presi- dent for the first two years when the organization was struggling to get on its feet, and gave much valuable time in getting it started. It was during his term that the money for the library and the school paper was raised. Last April Mr. George Weedon was elected President, and early in the fall, under his leadership, the Association presented handsome blankets to the foot- ball team. Later, the bond issue for the building of an addition to the high school received staunch support. Since Mr. Weedon's resignation, necessary because of his departure for California, Mr. Hunt is the guiding spirit, and at the time of writing, the Association is living up to its purpose, in co-operating with the Athletic Association in its plan to put up a fence around the athletic field. FRIEDA B. ROGATZKY. I80 . , THE SOPHOMORE CLASS f b f GPHDFIDRE E 2 .q , au! ,A 71' CLASS OF 1925 EA! We are the sophisticated Sophomores, once Freshies, but promising: to become Seniors. We are proud of it, and our position entitles us to the respect of the present Freshmen and to the condescension of the upper-classmen, all of which causes our association with the school to be a mixture of awe and scorn. But what have we done to be proud of? To be sure, we have athletes, jour- nalists, and even students among us, but the main source of our pride lies in the fact that we are a part of such a wonderful organization as Norwood High School. We are proud of Norwood's faculty, her organizations, her teams, her athletic spirit, her building and even her gymnasiums. We realize our indebtedness to Norwood for the fine time we have enjoyed, even as Freshies, and wish to extend our appreciation to the school as a whole. In the future we hope to repay Norwood for her kindness by becoming active members of class organizations, and we look forward with pleasure to the Hi-Y and Masque and Scroll. We will strive to make Norwood proud of the Class of '25 in school functions, athletics, and studies. WILLIAM GRACE. I 83 I THE FRESHMAN CLASS l 462--s U it Sr fs. lt? gr K1-'ATL ill - fb 'llllli mi E ,,,, IN NORWOOD High School at this time are three lower and six upper Freshman classes. There are ninety-one lower Freshmen and one hundred fifty-eight upper, two hundred and fifty Freshies. Not so bad. Just think, we make up over one-third of the student body and are very helpful, for We came to the high school and filled up the vacant spots, making it more cheerful. Most of our students are from the Norwood public schools, but some are from Cincinnati, Columbus, Dayton, and various other places. The first few days, before we were used to our new place of study, one of us was always hunting a room number. When we got into the wrong class we were more or less embarrassed, and usually more so when we found the right one and were late. Our teachers are: Miss Beavers and Miss Foote who teach Latin, said to be a dead language Cwhy, oh why, didn't they bury it?Dg Miss Miller and Mr. Bartlett, teachers of ancient history, Miss Tielking and Mrs. Beckett, the teach- ers of Englishg Mr. Tiffany and Mrs. Beckett who teach us the intricate study of Algebra, Miss Jackson who teaches sewing, and Mr. Siders, the manual training teacher.

You think he's a fellow with marvelous head Who can sway such a crowd, with the things that he's said. Now notice the fellow whose mouth is shut tight, Who doesn't talk much, unless questioned outright. You think he's a fellow with uncertain ways Who will listen to others through all of his days.

ISS THE MASQUE AND SCROLL IN JANUARY, 1922, a new society was formed for the purpose of giving plays and debates. A similar society had been in existence a few years before, so this, in a more literal sense, might be called a revival. Thomas Grace, who headed the movement, was elected president. It started off well by giving a debate on Philippine Independence and a play entitled, The Ghost Story, by Booth Tarkington, before the Parents' and Teachers' Association in March. The Ghost Story was repeated at the Sharpsburg School in April. In September William Hepp was elected president and rivaled Thomas Grace as a good manager. The play which had been presented twice the previous year was repeated at the Norwood Branch Library. The Widdy's Mite, an Irish play, was presented at the Parish House and again at the Fresh- man reception. Local and Long Distance was given in the high school auditorium and a second time at the Sharpsburg School. The Loveliest Thing, a play appropriate to the season, was given during an auditorium session, December 24. We wish to extend a cordial invitation to all Juniors and Seniors to become members of this organization when school opens next September. Although The Masque and Scroll has progressed wonderfully it has been seriously hampered by the lack of attendance on the part of its members. Therefore all ye who would join this society, first make up your minds to at- tend every meeting and thus push the society to greater and better production. VERNON WOODWARD. 89 THE CLASS PLAY THE Charm School, by Alice Duer Miller and Robert Milton, was pre- sented to an enthusiastic audience Friday, May 11. The brilliant success was due to the hard work of the characters and of Miss Jacob. ' Ray Nasser, of Masque and Scroll fame, was highly entertaining in the role of Austin Bevans. His opposite, Doris Dunn, of Glee Club memories, also played very well. Norman Auburn is to be commended upon his portrayal of a Scotchman, While Edward Weisgerber looked the expert accountant. Isabel Afileck, Ruth Sarles, Emma Schwein, Mabel Schieffele and the rest all did excel- lent Work in their parts. The stage committee, invisible but indispensable, was most eflicient. Randolph Karch, Ferdinand Haas, Mildred Seery, and Norbert Eschmeyer were the unseen artists. Without a doubt most praise is due Miss Jacob who directed the cast. Without her wonderful aid our play could not have succeeded. WILLIAM HEPP.

We owe him a great debt for making it as successful as it was in 1921-1922. Not many members were present at the first belated, though enthusiastic, rehearsal held on October 23, but most of these have returned and have brought with them other musicians who have materially contributed to our prosperity. On November 8, the following officers were elected: President, Raymond Bohsdorf, Vice-President, Robert Barrows, Manager, Edward Weisgerberg Secretary, Henry Levisong Librarian, Max Parrish, Mirror Reporter, Evelyn Read. Meanwhile preparations were made for a concert to be given December eighth. The entertainment given that night in conjunction with the Masque and Scroll, was witnessed by a large audience. Mr. Bartlett's cornet solo, Beneath Thy Window, was a splendid feature. The dramatic society gave Local and Long Distance, with Miss Rogatzky as director. The program was repeated at the Sharpsburg School, and here Mr. Hostet- ler, whose fine playing of the trombone greatly added to the attractiveness of our selections, received continued applause. We were next engaged at the Williams Avenue School on February 19, when we were directed by Mr. Hostetler, since Mr. Bartlett was ill. Beneath Thy Window was repeated with Sidney Travers as soloist. The orchestra has taken part in about six auditorium sessions, while various members have given piano, cornet, violin, or flute solos. Our efforts have been constantly rewarded with the attentive appreciation of the school, while the social functions repaid us amply for our struggles. EDWARD WEISGERBER.

Membership in the club was conditioned upon a good singing voice, a reasonably good ability to read difficult music, and a willingness to work. A consistent numerical growth brought the membership to such proportions as to embrace one-third of the girls of the school. This number was found to be unwieldy and was reduced to seventy- five, the present membership. The club, in addition to presenting concerts at the high school, has appeared in numerous public performances, singing for Various churches of Cincinnati and Norwood, and for local organizations, including the Federation of Women's Clubs, the American Legion, and the Y. W. C. A. In February, 1922, the club gave the opera Miss Cherryblossomf' the proceeds of which were used to pur- chase music for the Glee Club and instruments for the high school orchestra. In December, 1922, the opera, Paul Revere, was presented. The club is now preparing a beautiful opera by Rhys-Herbert, The Wild Rose, which will be given this spring. Much of the success of the club may be attributed to its splendid line of accompanists, the best pianistes of the school serving in that capacity. Eliza- beth Lucas was the first accompanist, serving from September, 1916, to June, 1917. Elizabeth Jones followed, serving two years, from September, 1917, to June, 1919. Following her came Ruth Sarles, from September, 1919, to June, 1920, Dorothy Waldman, from September, 1920, to June, 1921, Evelyn Read, serving continuously from December, 1920, until the present time, having as her assistant, Edith Sage, who came in September, 1922. Marion Yingling was the club's first president. Mabel Woost, Marion Hoffman, Gertrude Jones, and Elizabeth Dumont succeeded her in the order named. The present officers are Blanche Dickins, President, Evelyn Read, Vice-Presidentg Elizabeth Medert, Corresponding Secretary, Helen Schenck, Financial Secretary, Violet Hucksoll and Marjorie Bowman, Librarian and Assistant, and Betty Schenck, Mirror Representative. l95l A much coveted gold pin is awarded by the club to each member after two and one-half years of faithful work. Pins have been presented to Elizabeth Dumont, Marie Fisher, Frances Glins, Alice Higgins, Gertrude Jones, Dorothy Marsh,Arlene Searles, Esther Sponsel, and Lygia Wells. The following girls will receive pins in April: Thelma Anderson, Margaret Argus, Eleanor Dorsey, Doris Dunn, Edna Gentile, Florence Gossin, Ellen Harney, Grace Hoerr, Myrtle Hucksoll, Voilet Hucksoll, Mary Louise Porter, Evelyn Read, Helen Russell, Helen Schenck, and Martha Vehr. Several former members of the club have gained distinction musically. Mildred Steinbock is a paid soloist in a prominent Cincinnati churchg Louise Bonner was selected from many applicants as leading lady in an opera which was presented at Emery Auditorium, Naomi Earhart, Helen and Marie Pickel- heimer, and Gwen Nelson were admitted into the most exclusive musical organization of Miami University, the Madrigal Club. Mr. Cook as director of the club is completing his seventh year of service and we sincerely hope that he may continue. BLANCHE DICKINS.

THE MIRROR STAFF OF 1922-1923 HE nominating committees met last fall, one headed by Florence Hudson Cnow Mrs. Walter Elstunj and the other by Arthur Chapman. An election, to make a selection between the tickets, was held on the third Friday in October, with the resulting staff: Editor -Clarence Shepler. Assistant Editors- - Mildred Seery, Wil- liam Mashburn. Circulation Managers- - Eugene Riley, Ruth Winkleman. Business Manager- Edward Wilson. Advertising Department - - Charles Chris- ty, Randolph Karch, Hoyt Welborne. Current News -- Florence Gossin. Literary Department - - Arthur Chapman, Claire Harkness, Ruth Seeger. Art Editor- -Stanley Crane. Boys' Athletics - - William Readnour. Girls' Athletics - - Emily Evans. Exchanges - Grace Hoerr. Alumni - Mildred Kahle. Faculty Advisors -Miss Honora Jacob, Mr. Emil Hostetler. The members of this staff proved their interest and enthusiasm when they decided to change the Mirror, the magazine which Norwood High School had published since 1915, to the newspaper which they now issue. Ruth Winkleman was elected secretary of the staff, and served until the expiration of the term, in February, 1923. The first staff is very, grateful to Miss Jacob, for her assistance and guidance, and its members realize that the paper which more than once came close to failure, was saved only by the splendid interest she manifested throughout the entire term. In February the school voted again for a new staff. All seniors were barred from this election, and in February, the new staff began its work, with Editor Hoyt Welborne. Assistant Editor Donald Meyers. Circulation Manager Le Roy Hayes. Assistant Circulation Manager Mar- cella Ferguson. Business Manager- Rnadolph Karch. Assistant Business Manager- Charles Riley. , Advertising Manager- William Mash- burn. Assistant Advertising Manager Wil- liam Maitland. Current News Editor Ruth Seeger. Assistant Current News Editor Mar- garet Ryan. Literary Editor- - William Grace. Assistant Literary Editor - Thelma Mey- ers. Boys' Athletic Editor- Robert Barrows. Girls' Athletic Editor - -- Emily Dickman. Exchange Editor Ellen Harney. Assistant Exchange Editor Charles Mortzas. Art Editor Curtis Clements. Faculty Advisors- -Miss Honora Jacob and Mr. Emil Hostetler. This staff continued the work begun by the first staff, and under the super- vision of the advisors, published the paper for the second half of the school year. Both staffs wish the very best of good luck to the staff of 1923 and 1924. l99I RUTH SEEGER. DOMESTIC SCIENCE FOUR years ago, one fine September morning, a crowd of boys and girls marched proudly down Sherman Avenue. We assembled in the auditorium and were nicknamed Freshies immediately. Mr. Mclntire talked to us about the different courses from which we could choose and seventeen of the girls decided to take the Domestic Science Course. Under the helpful guidance of Miss Jackson we finally made lots of little pretties and our first exhibit was a very successful affair. Our second year was devoted to dressmaking and millinery. The girls received many compliments upon their good work, and when our Sophomore year was finished, we resolved all to return the following September and continue our interesting course. The saying is that a man's heart may be reached through his stomach, so our third year was given to the art of cooking. Miss Ehlerding deserves much credit for being so patient with our struggling class. Many times the food that we prepared was sold in the lunchroom, but most of the time we were allowed to devour the goodies This year was enjoyed immensely, and why not? In the fourth year our efforts were directed toward the difficult but interest- ing study of chemistry. We always enjoyed the bells in Miss Morton's room, and we learned many things from her. The last half of our school year found only ten girls in our class. The girls liked the course exceedingly well and heartily recommend it to the girls coming into our high school next September. DORIS DUNN. I 100 1 MANUAL TRAINING NEW department sprang into being out of the remnants of an old one this last fall. Three rooms in the basement, formerly wasted, are now operating under full steam in the task of creating mechanical genius in Norwood High. An old band-saw, a sander and planer were cleaned of their cobwebs and are now bright and shining in their busy tasks of turning out finished wood- work. Not only are the boys taught the art of hitting the nail with the hammer, but the technical side of wood construction is an important part of their day's labor. The room opposite the boys' locker-room is utilized for mechanical drawing. Regulation draftsmen's tables and supplies are furnished the scholars and coupled with accurate and earnest work, amazing results are obtained. This practical work has done much to benefit the school, for the post-box in the office and the file in the library are specimens of the skill of our under- classmen. Earl Miller produced a hall-tree of enviable beauty. The wood was carefully toned with veneer which is difficult to apply. Martin Griflith and Harold Byron have both been successful in this line, as have a great many others. Everything from cedar chests to smoke stands are completed week after week and our lower floor is beginning to resemble a veritable furniture display. The class is contemplating building a piano, but can't decide whether it is to be a grand or an upright, so I suppose they will have to let it drop until next fall. The future for this department is bright and its opportunities are unlimited. Under Mr. Sider's able hand this industry will produce experts in a really prac- tical trade. l101l HI Y CLUB Top row left to right -Truit, Bohsdorf, Horton, Scott, Wilson, Warner, Weisgerber, Brad- ley, Fetter, Whiting.

The first and greatest of these was the loss of Mr. Barrett, the Hi-Y Secretary of the Y. M. C. A., who was our advisor. Mr. Dunn became our advisor and served excellently in this capacity although he could not give as much of his time to us as could Mr. Barrett. He had many school duties, while Mr. Bar- rett's chief work was in assisting Hi-Y clubs. Another obstacle was the fact that our President, Tom Grace, and other members, were employed in the evenings. This made it necessary that we have our meetings in the afternoon at school. But most of our Senior members were out of school early, and could not come to the meetings. I At first our sessions were not very well attended, and only through the great work of our officers did the Hi-Y Club really exist. These oiiicers were: Tom Grace, Presidentg Warren Welborne, Vice-President, Norbert Eschmeyer, Secretaryg and Allen Stone, Treasurer. Our first social was held at the home of our president on October 27. Every- one of the many members present had a very enjoyable time, although many of the Seniors present were studying the well-known Halleck book in preparation for a test. Mr. Dunn, the guiding hand of the organization, was present also. Another stag social was held at Ray Bradley's home. Even more members attended this one. The boys all had a good time as shown by their staying qualities. In fact, none of them knew when to go home even though Mr. Dunn dropped quite a few hints and finally left. Up to this time Cabout the last of Decemberj, our meetings had not been very well attended. The president then got a new idea in his head which worked exceedingly well. This idea was to divide the club into two teams, the one, composed of Junior members, captained by Curtis Clements, was to be known as the Blue Team, the other, composed of Senior members, captained by Norman Auburn, was to be known as the Red Team. The team having the most members present at the semi-monthly meetings was to be given a party by the losing team. In January the Curtis Clement Blues won over the Big Red Team by having six more members present at the two meetings. Consequently, the Red Team members had to dig down in their jeans to pay for the social given in honor of the Blue Team at Norman Auburn's home. At this social there were thirty- three members present including the supervisor, Mr. Dunn. Quite a few of our musical members brought their instruments and formed a fine jazz band. Leslie Peet tickled the ivories g Mathias Wiesgerber, alias Incidentals, H031 hammered on the drumsg Ralph Henlein proved to be quite a blower on the saxophone 5 Curtis Clements performed on both the mandolin and violin Cnot at the same time howeverjg while John Debold, Charles Earhart, Ray Bosdorf, and Bobby Barrows quietly fingered the fiddlesf' The Red Team pulled a comeback in February, beating the Blue Team by having one more member present. However, the score being so close, it Was decided to have a joint social. Richard Whiting invited all the members to his home, where an evening of games and music, together with the well-known eats, was enjoyed by all present and missed by those not fortunate enough to attend. From this article one would think the Hi-Y Club is altogether a social club. However, this is not true. Its aim is to promote Contagious Christian Character. Its motto is Clean Living, Clean Speech, Clean Athletics, and Clean Scholarship. All the members have tried to live up to the motto and promote the C. C. C. C. To find out how well the boys have succeeded, one would only have to attend one of the socials. There he would hear no vulgar words spoken nor would he see any member smoking. At all the meetings there have been discussions on subjects pertaining to current events, local school problems, and the like. The president appoints a member each meeting to lead the discussion at the following meeting. These discussions sometimes have become quite hot and often were settled by a vote of the boys present. Then also, at the meeting, Mr. Dunn would speak to us about living up to our motto, about school spirit and having respect for the teachers. The good work done by the Hi-Y Club this year must not be under-esti- mated. Who was it that erected the fence around the field previous to the Blanchester game and preserved order there? Who was it that encouraged fairness in treatment of the opponents at the basket-ball games? Who was it that helped keep smoking away from the school? Who was it that attempted to keep the lunch-room clean? It was the Hi-Y Club. The outlook for the Hi-Y Club next year is extremely good. The twenty- five Junior members this year must serve as the nucleus for next year's club. The present Vice-President, Warren Welborne, should make an able president next year. Assistant Trearurer Robert Barrow should make an eflicient treasurer. Then there is the ever-faithful Mr. Dunn who so greatly aided us this year. NORMAN AUBURN. l104 j ECREATIO LIAMS- GIRLS' HIKING CLUB HE Girls' Hiking Club was started in Norwood High School by the Senior Class of 1922. At iirst seniors only were permitted to belong to the club, but later other students of the school were admitted to membership also. They took many long hikes, carrying the usual eats that are enjoyed on such trips, and returned to Norwood abcut eight p. m. Because of the great success of this club, application was made last fall to have the club recognized as a school organization. This was done, but somehow the response of the students was not what it was expected to be and the club was almost forgotten. The club takes a hike every other Friday. It differs from the club of '22 in that its hikes are short, lasting not more than three hours. However, two long hikes are scheduled for the year: the one will be taken some time in May, the other in October.

Note The roster of the Tennis Club has been almost doubled since Ihis piciure was taken l 1071 THE TENNIS CLUB THE Tennis Club was organized in September, 1922, for the teachers and students of Norwood High School. A constitution was framed and oflicers were elected, Mr. Hostetler being made supervisor of the club. Almost at once a tournament was held for all the members. This was a most enjoyable and exciting contest. It began the twenty-sixth of September and lasted for about two weeks. Bad weather set in, however, and for some time the finals could not be played. But a day came at length for the boys to play the final games to develop their champion. After a rather hard fight, Donald Meyers won the title. The girls, however, were not as fortunate in getting their star proclaimed before Father Winter closed the courts. The match, though, will probably be held as soon as the Tennis Club re-opens this season. The club intends to hold another tournament this spring, which is expected to be even a greater success than was the first one. A team is to be organized also for both boys and girls, and matches are to be scheduled with not only Cincinnati schools, but also with schools out of the city. It is the hope of the club to make itself known far and near for its hard fighting and powerful teams. Norwood is one of the first high schools in southern Ohio to have a boys' and girls' tennis team. Therefore, it was rather difficult to obtain matches with other schools. However, the importance of a tennis team was soon recog- nized and a most successful and interesting season is expected by the club. Just recently the Norwood Tennis Club gave to the school two fine nets. These were certainly greatly appreciated and welcomed for just at present the funds are quite low and such donations as these are a great help. What the club needs most is the support of the school, not only by con- tributing members, but also by contributing rooters at the tournaments. It should be the pleasure of each student to help make his organization grow, so let this club not only have a successful beginning, but let each one help it grow bigger and more successful year by year. Then Norwood can rightfully be proud of her high school, and the alumni glad to claim her for their Alma Mater.

E51 - FRED WILLIAMS- VALEDICTORY CARRYING THE TORCH IN THE days of long ago the ancients had a relay race in which one man ran with a lighted torch to a second, the second to a third, and so on, until the end, each man giving his best effort. Now let us apply this idea to the advance of civilization. In the beginning of history one nation stood out as better civilized than the rest. These people passed their learning on to others who advanced further and in turn handed their accomplishments to another country, and so on down to the present times. The Egyptians were the first to practice the arts necessary to a civilized people. We have learned from tombs that they knew of agriculture, manufac- turing, sculpture, literature, and music. The pyramid, today, stands as an example of Egyptian architecture, clumsy but indestructible. One of their greatest contributions was belief in a hereafter where one must account for his actions on earth. In contrast are the Assyrians, who made the division of time and started a system of weights and measures. But these people had no conception of a supreme deity or of life beyond this world. The Hebrews handed down a literature expressing the idea of a single God, now recognized by most nations. The next race to progress greatly was the Greek. ' They contributed a form of popular government, a remarkable body of literature, some good philosoph- ical ideas, unsurpassed sculpture, and most important, Greek culture. Then the Romans held the torch of civilization. Much of their literature is still read in schools. Their gift of organization, to which the church owes its organization, was exceptionally valuable. Their greatest contribution was the system of law, the Justinian code being one of the foundation stones of present law. As for western Europe, Austria has been a great musical center. France and Germany have contributed much music, painting, and literature and have produced many mechanical and chemical wonders. To England we owe a I 110 1 representative form of government, the greatly improved conditions of the middle class, and wonderful literary works. Throughout this period we can trace a different spirit in the people. The ancients fought solely for personal gains. During medieval history countries waged war for principles. Men went on the Crusades to recover the Holy Land. Now we are in the present lap of civilization's race. America is one of the greatest countries the World has ever seen and its eyes are on our country. Many other nations model their government after ours while all seek this nation's influence. But are we prepared to guide the world's welfare? In some arts, such as painting, literature, and music we do not yet hold the honors. Our country does not train men for diplomatic service nor require enough knowledge of the science of government in the representatives. About 90 per cent. of appro- priations are for military uses and only 1 per cent. for education. However, we are comparatively a young nation and will advance in these things. We hear of bombs capable of destroying an entire city, of submarines which can sink a fleet of battleships, of invisible gases, fatal when they touch a portion of the skin. Is this civilization? The world did not advance by wars, but by peaceful inventions. The World War was fought for a principle, this nation entering to make the world safe for democracy. Now four and a half years after its close, seventeen of nineteen countries are preparing for war. Are those ideals for which millions have died to be thrown aside? Must we agree with present day writers that the white race has passed its zenith and is on the decline? War has always resulted in a check to progress. One writer says that Asiatic races in the future will be supreme. Shall America prove unable to shoulder the responsibilities of world advancement? This country is capable and by the education of future generations, she will prove it. With that spirit of helping another for their good and not for selfish aims, and with the power of future well trained citizens this country will cause, through the spirit of the brotherhood of man, a federation of the universe. Then, having run her race with her best effort, our nation Will hand on the gleaming torch of civilization to - we know not whom. NORBERT ESCHMEYER. l111I ACROSS THE STRAND ACROSS the strand, there's another land, a land that I call my own, For when the evening shadows fall, I turn my boat to roam. It's course is set by a force unknown, the hand on the helm is light And without a sound or murmur, I drift into the night. Into the night, with never a light, 'till I hear the wild surf roar, And I open my eyes and gaze afar, to the light of a golden shore. My boat drifts into a harbor still, away from the surf's wild scream, And I'm carried away on wings of joy, to the land of a beautiful dream. Island of gold, thy tale's untold, but thy secret is sweet in my heart, And when I stand on thy golden shore, from thee I am loath to part, I'll tell no more of thy story, thy secret I'll ever keep, But each evening I'll come to thy haven of rest, and stay ,til I go to sleep.

Ill 5 I OUR LIBRARY EPTEMBER, 1922, saw the creation of a school library. The idea of establishing a school library was not sudden, for it had been contemplated for several years. Its beginning was made with a few volumes which were stamped Norwood High School Library, a mark that led us to believe that at some time or other, a high school library had previously existed. A number of volumes lying here and there around the school were added to this collection. These made the foundation for what was to be, and has become, a carefully selected group of books. Several individual gifts have been added to the first Small collection, and these have indeed been greatly appreciated. A very generous donation was made by The Parents' and Teachers' Association, as a part of the splendid results of a bazaar, this gift amounting to five hundred dollars. A library committee was immediately chosen by the Association. On this committee Miss Amy Foote, Miss Julia L. Sutor, and Mr. C. W. Johnson served. The head of each department was aked to give to the committee a list of books which would assist in the advancement of that particular depart- ment. The committee, endeavoring to show no partiality and believing that each department should be treated equally, allotted a certain sum to each. The books which were thought to be most useful for advancing our intellectual knowledge were purchased. The committee is to be congratulated upon its wise selection. The book shelves which are beautifully finished in dark oak match the wood-work of the room. They are neatly arranged and were built by the Board of Education. Our earnest wish is that they will soon be crowded with books, thus perhaps, making it necessary for the Board to exhibit anew its interest, for we know that the Board members are always ready to do that which is good for us. We certainly thank them for this helpful addition. There are six hundred and seventy books in our library on topics which are of assistance to all branches of study. Besides these, there are one hundred and eighty music books, making a total of eight hundred and fifty books. l116I Our library has saved the students many a step for often, on an average of twice a week, we used to go to the Norwood Branch Library, and to spend there numerous hours in order to get history assignments and English readings which occur weekly. Now it is almost a pleasure and surely it is a convenience to be able to perform such duties at school, where we are always in the mood for study. This may not seem very realistic to those outside of school, but ask any high school student how he feels on the matter, then you will know I am right. Miss Julia L. Sutor is our eflicient librarian. She takes an unlimited amount of interest in the library and its progress, keeping the books in excellent order. She is always cn the alert for new and valuable additions. Miss Sutor is so well versed on all subjects contained in the books that she knows what you are looking for better than you know yourself. We almost accuse her of reading every volume word for word. We all are agreed that there are few librarians her equal. The only criticism of our library is that it is still in its infancy, but with the co-operation of our friends, it ought to grow rapidly. If you know anyone who has an extensive collection of books, and who wants to get rid of a few good volumes, remind him of our school library. Or if you, yourself, are in doubt as to the manner in which you care to spend your money, just think of our library. Your money will be most gratefully received and you are assured that it will be used advantageously for the purchase of books. Since all things come to him who waits we feel that our alumni will recog- nize the constructive work done by the School Board, and will co-operate in making this department a splendid institution. ' VIRGINIA BOWEN. I 1171 THE HISTORY OF NORWOOD HIGH SCHOOL PRIOR to 1868, Norwood was simply a farming community, with small township schools scattered throughout its boundaries. In that year, how- ever, the residents of Millcreek and Columbia Townships organized and incor- porated two special school districts. For about fifteen years a two-room school building on the old Central School grounds served the needs of the district. The growing settlement, however, made necessary additional accommodations. A four-room school building was erected on these grounds, and in 1884 the building was opened. It was in this year that a half do-zen young people who had finished the eighth grade and had successfully passed the entrance examina- tion for Woodward High School, requested the Norwood Board of Education to furnish high school instruction at home. The request was granted and the first class began work in September, 1885. The Central School building, which consisted of four rooms, received the first class of Norwood High School under its roof. Space was limited and the high school class occupied the same room with the seventh and eighth grades, and was under the instruction of the same teacher. The growth of the high school was hindered by the lack of room and for a few years only the first and second grades of the high school course were taught, Those who finished the second year and wished to continue were obliged to attend the Cincinnati High School and pay their own tuition. Presently the Board of Education decided to pay tuition for the advanced grades and con- tinued to do so until the increase in the number of pupils madeitseem desirable to establish the complete course. It was decided by the Board in 1895 that all pupils beginning high school work that year or afterwards should receive the full four years course in Nor- wood. Accordingly, the first class to take its entire high school training in Norwood, and to be graduated at home, began work in temporary quarters in the Marion Street building in September, 1895. The following year the high school was brought back to the Central building and there it remained until 1901, when it was moved to the Allison Street schoolhouse. This was a sub- l118l stantial and commodious eight-room building, with an auditorium that was the pride of the community at that time. The use of this building enabled Norwood to take care of its own high school pupils, and the payment of outside tuition rendered unnecessary. This building accommodated the community at first, but it was soon outgrown to such an extent that the auditorium was cut up into laboratories. In 1909, it became evident that the building would soon be too small to house the increasing number of pupils. The matter was discussed by the Board of Education and by the public at large, and in 1910, as an expression of the public wish, Norwood Council passed a resolution requesting the Board of Education to proceed at once with the erection of a S500,000 high school. This same year the Board secured the tract of land now occupied by the high school building, covering about seven and one-half acres. It then proceeded to erect a thoroughly modern, up-to-date, well-equipped school building, that should meet the needs of the community fo-r some time to come. The building contains sixteen class-rooms as well as those devoted to special branches, includ- ing chemical, physical and botanical laboratories. This new high school was opened in 1914. At that time it was not believed that in ten years this building would be crowded to overflowing. However, as we all know, several rooms, not fitted for use as class-rooms are now being used as such, which proves that with more and more students entering the high school some provision must be made to accommodate them. Accordingly, the addition to Norwood High School is now being constructed, which, we all hope will meet the needs of the community for a few years. Norwood High has had its share of prosperity, for in 1885 the school occupied one class-room and only one teacher was needed, in 1923, thirty-eight years later, the school occupies sixteen class-rooms, not counting the other rooms being used as such, and twenty-eight teachers compose the present faculty. ESTHER HAMILTON. I 119 I SCHOLARSHIPS ENIORS of Norwood High have been blessed 'with numerous opportunities to secure higher education with limited finances. The Education Society of Norwood is the donor of an annual scholarship to the University of Cincinnati, while the Swarthmore Club, the H. S. Firestone gift, the Holister Scholarship to Yale and the Bryn Mawr Scholarship are very attractive. Marie Scanlon and Emma Boger have the honor of winning the Enquirer Scholarship Contest held last year. The ten highest contestants each received a 53,000 scholarship to any college of the winner's choice. These two senior girls are examples of the old maxim, No excellence without great labor. It is a great honor to our school, our class and our girls to have the privilege of numbering these victors in our midst. All the world loves a winner, and these are no exceptions. H201 ALUMNI THE ALUMNAL ASSOCIATION THE Alumnal Association of Norwood High School has been dormant for a number of years. This dormancy was caused in no small degree by the war and was unavoidable. Many of its active members saw service in the great War and consequently no meetings were held. Then, also, there was no immediate need for the association. But now there is a great need for a live body of organized graduates. A great deal of money is needed to construct the fence which will be builtaround our athletic field. All our alumni must be asked to contribute to this cause. The Alumnal Association realizes the great risk that the Athletic Association is undergoing in the construction of this fence. Mr. George Beazell, president of the organization, expects to call a meeting in the near future for the purpose of giving aid to the Athletic Board.

It is not a matter of expressing our thanksgiv- ings and desires outwardly, but in inwardly communing with our souls. Our most powerful supplications are those in which we imagine our spirit and that of the Creator commingling. Prayer is really a form of concentration in which we make our requirements or thanksgivings more evident to ourselves and per- meate them with the heavenly spirit. Prayer does not consist merely of asking guidance or the satisfaction of our desires from the Heavenly Father, but in the sincerity of our thoughts. Men who dwell but seldom upon the existence of the Infinite, but who are assiduous workers and thinkers, yet pray in a truly honest way. Their method is that of impressing their minds with the object of their ambitions and then steadily keeping it in view. The accomplishments of these men are mainly materialistic and lack the touch of the Master. The work they consummate is but a worldly success and incapable of enduring the attrition of time. Then another category of men exists-those whose theories, innate or intuitive, are conjoined with the wisdom and knowledge they have gleaned from the world, usually their achievements are impregnated with divine senti- ments. The heavenly inspiration is discernible in the works of these men no matter how wicked they have been or how distant they have strayed from the kingdom of God. These men are the geniuses and their works are monuments for the ages. LOUIS SAUR. I 124 1 .15 1In flbcmoriam VV. W. MQINTYRE 1869 1922 Death's sable curtain fell on the last act of Norwood High's first principal on July 9, 1922. Mae, our beloved friend, will always be revered in our hearts for the nobility and generosity with which he governed our school. Over a period of eighteen years this companion and eounsellor promoted the welfare of Old Norwood to the utmost. Our successes of today are results of his amiable devotion to his task. As the last class to be honored with the leadership of this man, we pay tribute to his sacred memory. Q4ns-wx.us..Q1-Q1-se-Q1-Q.14anvs--susnus-nxn1nxnQ-nsnQusnQ--sn D0 YOU THINK STRAIGHT?
