The Board of Education The pupils of the Ohio City-Liberty school district, for past few years, have been looking forward with keen anticipation to the erection of a new school building. At last through the efforts of the Board of Education a bond issue was presented to the voters of Ohio City-Liberty district for the erecting of a new school building. The issue passed and one of the finest and best equipped buildings in this part of the country has been erected. un--nun--u nuuzzzzzuar , Y -nu-nnuu unununn-nn nnnuuunnunnnu-nnnnnnuunuuuun Standing: L.

So the youth of Ohio City was very fortunate in having twelve very capable instruc- tors to teach them this past vear. Through the cooperation of this corps of teachers the students this year have been accomplishing great things such as tying for first in the Eisteddfod, winning of the debates, winning of the County Baseball League, and giving entertainments in the new auditorium.

Here these travelers were called Freshmen. We noticed that the upperclassmen heartily laughed many times at the awkward mistakes made by the Freshmen. We only thought this to be a part of human nature and that the same oppor- tunity would come to us when we would be upperclassmen. After we became acquainted with each other, we held our first class meeting and elected Mildred McClelland, President and Mr. Cotterman, Advisor. As time passed we were called together and told that our Hrst party would be held at the beautiful country home of Alice and Evan Owens. This was a masquerade party and every one came dressed because they feared the penalty. Every one had an enjoyable time and wished that all the parties would be as enjoyable. The first year passed and we found ourselves to be Sophomores. A few of the travelers decided that they had acquired enough education to satisfy their needs in life. In a few days we elected Evan Owens, President: Mildred McClelland, Vice-President: and Miss Moorman, Sponsor. We decided that we might make this a very successful year. We were allowed to hold two class parties and were royally entertained at the homes of Dode Smith and Pauline Brunni. The party at the home of Dode Smith was a masquerade party. Pauline delightfully entertained us with an invitation party in the spring. Thus ended our second year of high school life and we started on the third year as Juniors. In this year we thought we could almost see on the other side of the mountain but every attempt was in vain. We had not the required amount of knowledge to do that, but we believed that with another year's work we could do it easily. Again some of our classmen decided that they could profit much more at other work and they left us. In the 'election Evan Owens was again chosen President, Harold Skinner, Vice-President and Miss Moorman, Sponsor. The only party of this year was held at the home of Helen Clouse. The losing side of the ticket contest beautifully entertained the class. Every effort of this year's work was centered upon the most important happening of the year, the Junior-Senior Banquet. It was an elaborate affair and We are glad that it proved highly successful. We sincerely believe that Effort Brings Accomplishmentf' which was our motto for the Junior year. Beginning on our last year with an enrollment of twenty-five we believed that we had one of the best classes that entered Ohio City High School. Before the lirst semester had passed three of our number decided that they did not care to remain any longer with us. The oflicers elected were Pauline Brunni, President: Evan Owens, Vice-President: and Mr. Cottcrman, Advisor. We chose for our class the motto Preparation is the Key Note to Success, the crimson rose for flower and scarlet and gray for class colors. The class was very beautifully entertained at the home of our Superintendent and advisor, Mr. and Mrs. B. W. Cotterman. In every activity of the school there are to be found some members of the Class of 1928 who take a great part. Thus we as a class are proud of every member because of their intense interest shown toward the school and its work. In nearing the end of our high school life we have very many responsibilities placed upon us. But having been a very energetic class, we are able to play our part and we regret very much that our high school days are coming to an end and that We shall leave the classmates, perhaps never again to meet as the same group. Without any regard for this fact we are proud to think that We have acquired the necessary knowledge which will aid us as We enter our life work, MADGE STRAW wk wk lk lk Senior Social Events The first party of the Senior Class of 1928 was held at the home of Superintendent B. W. Cotterman. It being the first party of the class as Seniors, it was a delightful affair. The evening was spent in playing games and singing. At the close of the evening a delicious lunch was served by the Senior Class. The party Was a complete success and was enjoyed by all present. MILDRED Mc:Ci.E1.1.AND PF Ik 111 ak SENIORS OF 1928 Happy Seniors are we this year, Although we thought we were done. But this is what we seem to hear, 0ur lives have merely begun. We look into the far distant blue And see our classmates now. With each doing what he wishes to do, In the best way he knows how. Many have chosen to be teachers, While others have chosen to roam. But still all are human creatures, And love O. C. H. S. our past home. Here again we shall our schoolmates greet, And talk of our old schooldays, Of how, in halls. we would ever meet And Work on our lessons always.

Senior Class Prophecy I graduated from high school with the desire to travel. I had been out of school ten years and saved enough money to take a trip to a few of the large cities in the United States. I decided to go to New York as I always Wanted to see a large city. While walking down the street everyone seemed to be going in the same direction. I followed the crowd to see where they were going. After walking about a block I saw a large sign which read, Palace Theater. The attractions for the evening were, Mildred McClelland and Clarence Hertle starring in 'Butcher Knife Love' and the 'Kish Hardman Vaudeville Company'. After the show I went to the stage door and had a fine visit with my old classmates. As it was late I began to look for a hotel where I could stay all night. As I did not know where to go I thought I would inquire of a policeman, who proved to be no other than Vernon Custer. He informed me the way to the hotel and also that he and Miriam had been married just one year. I Went the direction I had been directed and after walking two blocks and turning to my left I saw this sign, The Straw Hotel. I went in and as Madge and I were talking she told me that Elmer Switzer had been rooming there. I asked her if he was one of her star boarders and she said, No, he is just an idle roomerf' Madge had Charlotte Kline assisting her in the hotel business. The next morning while I was waiting, I picked up a newspaper, the New York Herald, and turning to the editorial page found that John Williman was the editor of the paper. I turned to the society page and read where Mr. Harold Skinner and Mrs. Skinner, formerly Miss Alice Owens, delightfully entertained a number of their friends at the beautiful Skinner home at 219 East South Street. The next day I left New York and went to Washington. In Washington I met one of my classmates, in the person of Evan Owens. Who was United 'States Senator. He informed me that Marvin Cowan, another of my old classmates, was ending a very successful year as manager of the Senator Baseball Team. From Washington I went to Chicago Where I visited Pauline Brunni and Margaret Yagle who were doing a very proitable business in a millinery store. As I had been away from home for some time I decided to return to Ohio City. VVhen I arrived at the station I hardly knew Where I was. The town had made many changes. There were several new business places which were not there when I left. I I learned that Donald VJaltcrs 'and Mrs. Walters, formerly Miss Doris Temple, were still in the drug business. Down the street a little ways was a barber shop and beauty parlor combined. The proprietors proved to be no other than Harold Johnson and Lucille Dull. Across the street from the barber shop was a grocery store, advertised as, The Smiths Grocery. The Smiths proved to be Dode and Hugh of the Senior Class of 1928.

Sworn at a public meeting this Thirteenth Day of March, in the Year of Our Lord, Nineteen Hundred and Twenty-eight. Signed: LUCILLE DULL, For the Class of 1928. Witnesses: MR. COTTERMAN, Miss STRAW. The Grumhlleir Oh my, I don't like to grumble and never do unless it's absolutely necessary: but if some people were in my shoes, they would wish they were dead. I some- times wish I was dead too, but it doesn't do any good. I just have to come to school every day whether I feel like it or not. It wouldn't be so bad if I could study in a nice new building but to come to this old building every day and see the grand new one we will not use is enough to give anyone a headache. It's a wonder our brains don't become as cloudy as those walls smoky because that's all we have to look at all day long. Then those teachers, I'd think they would have a little mercy and give a fellow a rest sometime. Just because they have the advantage they think that they can work a man to death. W'el1, I might as well be dead as have to take Physics the first thing every morning after arriving at school. Mr. Cotter- man must think we know everything about electric currents the way he asks questions. I don't like electricity any way. You can't see it but you sure can feel the effects when it goes through your body. Oh dear, I'm getting tired of hearing music. About all one hears around this school any more is singing. I don't see why they have Eisteddfods. The noise made at them makes me think of cows. Cows don't know any better, but students in high school should have more gumption. Well, I'm glad school is about out. It must be about 3:55 at least. I don't see why the janitor doesn't get a new watch. It's about fifty-seven seconds slow every day. There's the bell at last. I thought it never would ring. Well, good-bye, I hope you enjoyed my talk and will come again. Sk PF if lk It was a clear moonlight night after the Junior-Senior Banquet. A car came down the road lurching dizzily. Vernon had one arm around Miriam and drove with the other. The car gave a great swing and then straightened out on the road again. Oh, Vernon, cried Miriam, please use both hands. I Can't, replied Vernon grimly, gotta drive with one. Dk DF lk if Science Teacher-Now tell of the effect of the moon on the tide. Red Johnson-I don't know what effect it has on the tide, but I can tell you about the effect it has on the untied. FK HK 41 Pk In planning for Eisteddfod: Miss Platt-Evelyn, do you think you would be able to sing a solo? Evelyn-Alone? Miss Platt-Yes. Evelyn--Oh, I'd be tickled to death. un--nun-nu annun-nnnuuunnuu::::::::::::: ...uunu-uuuu-u nunnuuuuunuuuns-n::::::::: ' Junior Class History On September 12, 1927, the Class of '29 gathered at the Ohio City High School to begin their career as Juniors. More than ever this year we expected to gain the higher and nobler things of life inside its walls. With the consolidation of Ohio City-Liberty school districts we found, after glancing through our numbers, that six had gone to other fields of knowledge. Seven others, thinking school too dull, had gone elsewhere to seek adventure. Although so many of our number of the year before had gone elsewhere, we willingly welcomed three new enterprising students, Norma Wise, Paul Wise, and Robert Hardman. Realizing that we should not be successful without good leaders we chose the following officers: Ivan Putman, President: Norma Wise, Vice-President: Helen Trout, Secretary-Treasurer: and Martha Dull, Class Reporter. To guide our actions that they might be successful, Mr. L. L. Hurley was chosen Sponsor. During the first months we threw ourselves happily into our work that we might derive much benefit. In October we dispensed with hard work for a few hours and enjoyed a pleasant out-door party in I-Iigh's Grove. About mid-way in this year's term we came face to face with the exams, but having whetted our minds we passed successfully. As our class is always successful in everything undertaken we have a fine representation in athletics. During the fall Ivan Putman, Robert Hardman, Donald Cowan, and Ralph McDougal defended the school's baseball team. As basketball season drew near we were again faithfully represented by Olive Dibert, Helen Trout, Gerald Snyder, Donald Cowan, and Ivan Putman. In the Interclass Contest we were splendidly represented by Mildred Saums. short story writer: Matha Dull, reader: 'and Norma Wise, orator. ' As we breathlessly awaited the results, feelings of misgiving began to arise-but only for a moment. Our success was only too evident when Mildred's story and Norma's oration took first and Martha's reading third place. The next really large event was the Junior Class play, The Mummy and the Mumps, a three-act comedy presented April 13. Following the Junior play was the main social event of the year, the Junior-Senior Banquet, May l l. After vacation joys are over, we hope that all the Juniors of 1927-28 can join us as Seniors next year.

Some were timid and shy- others were bold and seemed very much frightened. But the name that the upperclassmen gave us included both types for we certainly were green about the routine of high school. In the interest of our very large class we held a class meeting and elected Marcile Straw, President: Doris McClelland, Vice-President: Mildred Felger, Secretary-Treasurer: Deloris Billieu, Class Reporter: Corinne Profit, Short Story Writer: Wesley Rickard, Orator: and Mary Moyer, Reader. There were more in our class who thought it wiser to become interested in the outside world and so left our class before we became Sophomores. They are Beatrice Clouse, Edith Boroff, Maxine Custer, Mildred Giessler, and Lewis Johnson. Our first party was held at the home of Mildred Giessler where we became better acquainted with one another. One thing that we Freshmen were most proud of was being allowed to display our banner in the chapel room for having the most points in the Oratorical Contest. The first year passed quickly and we soon found ourselves Sophomores. Some of our number had chosen other schools to finish their high school life which lessened our number to thirty-five. We chose Miss Rollins as our Advisor. Also Camilla Rollins, President: Martin Dysert, Vice-President: Richard Harvey, Secretary-Treasurer: and Mary Moyer, Class Reporter. Of the ten basketball girls who wore the dear old Red and Green thru this year's season, we can proudly boast that five were sophomores: namely Camilla Rollins, Marcile Straw, Maxine Dibert, Zelma Lawson, and Mary McDougal. Of the boys team we have two, Martin Dysert and Richard Harvey. We held a meeting some days later and elected Helen High, Orator: Mary Moyer, Reader: and Corinne Profit, Short Story Writer. This year in our local oratorical Mary won first place and Helen and Corinne both won third place. We had been warned of the mid-term examinations. But we passed thru these with flying colors. After the Inter-Class Contest our efforts were drawn to the hexagonal debate. ln this we found we were represented by two very capable debaters. Helen High and Mary Moyer. We sincerely hope we shall all meet again in the Ohio City-Liberty School as Juniors. CLARA i-FICKLE ze :cf wr ar ' Mr. Hurley Cln Biology Classj : What advantages has man in his upright position?

There is still enough difference to give us a personality of our own. On the morning of September the twelfth, the Class of 1931 assembled: some were so enthusiastic they nearly beat the janitor and were obliged to linger on the high school steps many a long minute. That our enthusiasm did not cool under this preliminary trial is shown by the fact that only two have with- drawn and one new member has been added. We entered the building with the proper amount of Freshman humility: our hearts quaked with the pleasure of speaking to a Senior and sitting with them in the Assembly Hall, while the mere mention of Latin and Algebra sent our respects soaring to the loftiest heights. Of course, the spell has long since been broken: and the trials and tribulations of these subjects combined with the experiments of General Science and other subjects enumerated in the Course of Study have had their disillusion- ing effects. On September the twentieth We organized as a class. Our ofncers were: President. Ned Yahn: Vice-President, Evelyn Hoghe: Secretary and Treasurer, Vivian High: Reporter, Betty Jayne Gardner: and Sponsor, Miss Platt. We selected Green and White for our class colors. The Grst social event of our class was a Hallowe'en party, which was held at the beautiful country home of Vivian High. The class was well represented and all enjoyed the events of the evening. L As soon as the basketball teams were chosen some of our classmates, Helen Putman. Grace Dibert, and Roy Orton were seen displaying talent equal to that of the upperclassmen. For weeks nothing but a steady inflow of knowledge was undertaken for soon after Christmas news was broadcasted from the office that the mid-year storm was approaching. Although we still survive as a class, we lost some students in Latin and Algebra. In February the Interclass Contest was held in which the intellectual ability of our class was displayed by Betty Gardner, original story writer: Ned Yahn, reader: and Rex Custer, Orator. The Class of Thirty-one has always been distinguished for its perseverance and for the spirit of determination. Three short years remain to complete our high school life, and united we wish to bring honor and glory to our class.

While waiting on the dock Will Be for the good ship, High School, our thoughts naturally turn to some form of amusement as the ship will not be due for some time and our passports have to be inspected and accepted. So we hold our Hrst social gathering at the home of Jeannette Tickle, where we spent the evening in roasting wieners and playing games, departing at a late hour being satisfied that our quest for pleasure had not been in vain. On March 2, 1928, we again met, this time at the home of one of our classmates, Moreen Shaffer by name, and again were pleasantly entertained. We spent some time studying the rudiments of athletics and judging from results it must not all have been in vain. In baseball we found Exline an easy victim and came back to O. C. with a victory. We proved almost as superb in basketball as in baseball. Vie played with Van Wert Third Ward and with the Boy Scouts and won half of the games played. The girls were more fortunate than we boys. In volleyball they won the majority of their games with the Upper Classmen and holding a perfect record in basketball defeating not only the Intermediate Room but the Freshmen and Sophomores as well. Taken as a whole our short sojourn in social affairs and athletics along the Royal Road to Learning bids fair to be successful. So we are eagerly awaiting the arrival of the good ship High School hoping that our passports will be O. K., our luggage inspected so that We may embark when Captain Cotterman cries All Aboard. With great anticipation we look forward to the journey into the Land of the Unknown and to explore the mysteries of Rome, her ancient language, The History of the Classic Franks, things scientific and theorems unsolved. So in September 1928 may our quota be 100 per cent.

We started out with only a few members at the beginning of the school year and, if we might compare it to a tree, have been constantly adding new shoots to the trunk which now stands firm in its belief and desire to make it a club to which every real girl would want to belong. To join this club means to plant a hope, a joy and a purpose in the life of time that hints eternity. Each new day it brings forth a new reality, beautiful and strong, as we sail along the sea of life: a sea of love and trust as well as of hardships and sorrows. Perhaps the best Way to explain the meaning and purpose ofthe Girl Reserves is to give the code-a code that stands for the best mentally, morally, and socially. Gracious in manner, impartial in judgment, ready for service, loyal to friends, reaching towards the best. earnest in purpose, seeing the beautiful, eager for knowledge, reverent to God, victorious over self, ever dependable. and sincere at all times: probably completes the meaning of the Girl Reserves- for which we have striven hard to be loyal. Always We shall love, honor and obey its teachings.

The hexagon was divided into two triangles, an east triangle and a west triangle. Ohio City, Convoy, and Union made up the west triangle: and Ridge, York, and Middlepoint made up the east tri- angle. The subject for debate was: Resolved: That the federal govern- ment should establish a Federal Department of Education with a Secretary in the Presidents Cabinet. The aHirmative team debated with Convoy here and the negative team traveled to Union. Both teams were victorious in this debate, The winning of this debate entitled us to debate with Middlepoint, who were the winners of the east triangle. The affirmative team journeyed to Middlepoint but were a little unfortunate and were defeated by three points. The negative team at home lost by four points. Although we lost this debate we did excellent considering that four members of the debating team were inexperienced in debating. llnltoirollalss Contest The Interclass Contest, our first program to be presented in the new auditorium, was given Tuesday, January 31, and considered a complete success. The Junior class scored the greatest number of points.

These contestants represented Ohio City at Van Wert where the County Oratorical Contest was held. The cup which has been held by Ohio City for the past year was given to Willshire. Although Ohio City lost the cup yet our representatives did creditably well considering that this is their first year to take part in an oratorical contest. lk ek Pk ell SPELLING CONTEST In the County Spelling Contest held at Van Wert, Ohio City will be represented by Madge Straw,- Corinne Profit, and Irene Kline. Charlotte Kline held fourth place in the elimination contest. -mg...............................................................-..........-.......................... ...-...----..aag...n................. Chapel Through the efforts of the faculty and students the High School has been able to present one of the most interesting chapel programs ever given. Besides the numbers and plays rendered by the High School we have had excellent talent from outside school. Some very interesting talks were given by Rev. Hurley, Mr. Johnson, Rev. Strawn, and C. H. McMillien. A number of instructive facts about Asiatic customs were given by a native of Hindustan. The most entertaining pro- gram was given by Mr. Peters, a popular radio fan. Here's a thanks to all who helped make it a success.

Our marvelous talent in music was displayed many times during the year. Each class furnished two special numbers for the local oratorical contest, and again we furnished two numbers for the county oratorical contest. Our musical talent was also displayed a number of times in chapel. Three days each week, for forty-five minutes, are spent in music. Miss Belle Platt and Mr. Oscar Jones are our instructors. The first of our great musical numbers was held March 16 in the new High School Auditorium. This was the Local Eisteddfod: our school was favored this year by a very large number of contestants. Everyone really deserved a prize for competing. We had a very efficient man for our adjudi- cator, namely Mr. Oswald Jones of Fort Wayne, Indiana. We feel that Mr. Jones rendered a very good adjudication as our contestants won for us the County Eisteddfod. - After the Local Eisteddfod we felt we were properly equipped for the greatest feat of all, the Van Wert County Eisteddfod. This was held March 23 at the Van Wert High School Auditorium. In the afternoon session Ohio City captured the highest number of points, winning third place in the tenor solo, Mother Machreef' sung by Kish Hardman. Third place in the alto solo, Prayer Perfect, sung by Mildred Felger. Third place in the male quartet, Stars of the Summer Night, sung by Ivan Putman, John Scheidt, Robert Hardman, and Kish Hardman. We also won first in the largest number of the afternoon, the girls' chorus, Who-oo! A In the evening program we also managed to keep in the lead. We won third place in the bass solo, Back in Eden, sung by Ivan Putman, and third place in the girls' duet, Sundown, sung by Evelyn and Miriam Cully. The two largest numbers of the evening were our desire, We succeeded in taking first place in the boys' chorus, The Sailor's Home Song, but in the mixed chorus we were contented to take second place. This tied our points with the Willshire school, making Ohio City and Willshire winners with 88 points each. This is the first time in four years that any other school has won over York. We had taken second the two preceding years, but this year we broke our record. If at first you don't succeed, try, try again. This is our motto and we believe it to be a very good one. , IVIILDRED MCCLELLAND mnuvvnn :nun ..... ..................uu... ...... nn... un-uunnuu mnuumm.mmu .......nun Senior Class Play A TURNING THE TR1cK ' Characters Patrick Casey, a retired contractor - - - Vernon Custer Mary Anne, his wife ---- Madge,Straw Michael, his son ---- Harold Skinner Kathleen, his daughter - - ' Miriam Cully Maggie, his daughter - - - Lucille Dull Eileen, the maid ---- Pauline Brunni Humpy Steele, the janitor - - - Hugh Smith George Drake, a friend of the family - - Harold Johnson lim Dougherty, of the U.

Michael becomes entangled in the coils of diamond smugglers but cleverly escapes at the expense of the family. Eileen, the maid, proves to be the daughter of a millionaire and good enough for the Caseys. This comedy-drama in three acts was presented by the Senior Class May 18. This play was very entertaining for those who were seeking fun and amuse- ment. It was highly complimented by the community because of the moral that it taught. if Pk Bk lk THE JUNIOR-SENIOR BANQUET The Hrst Junior-Senior Banquet ever held in the New School Building was a complete success on the night of May 11, 1928. The auditorium was beautifully decorated in the Seniors' colors. Scarlet and Gray. The tables were set under a lattice work of flowers. On the tables were tall rose colored candle holders and gray candles. Red roses filled the center of each table. The Juniors and Seniors marched into this gorgeously decorated room and took their places at the tables. The dinner was served and toasts and songs filled the air during the dinner hour. The remainder of the evening was spent in Senior farewells, dancing, and playing games.

The Red and Green boys coached by Mr. Kelly won their ive league games and two out of county games. This entitled them to the trophy offered by the U. S. Sporting Goods Company. The call for try outs for the team was made the second day of school and about thirty men responded. It was first thought that a winning team was out of the question because so many of the heavy hitters and star pitchers and basemen graduated the preceding year. Nevertheless Cozch Kelly was the first to see the shortcomings of the team and by fast and hard workouts he put the squad into fine shape. It was with great difficulty that Coach Kelly chose the team. So many good men were out that it looked impossible to choose without faltering, but the fast workouts and changing of positions showed the weak spots of the men and finally twelve were chosen to represent the Ohio City-Liberty school. The players were captained on the diamond by Harold Johnson who held first base. The opponents were tagged by Donald Cowan at second. Evan Owens stopped the hot ones at shortstop and Ralph McDougal held down third, but the world evidently held too much in store for him as his school career ended shortly after the baseball season closed. Kish Hardman, who entered from Wren, was successfully worked into the position at third. Robert Hardman, also from Wren, held down the best place on earth, home, the home plate. The ball was given the sensational curves, breaks, and drops by Ivan Putman. The out field was covered by Skinner, Custer, Smith, Dysert and Rickard. At the close of the season a banquet was given by Mr. Bert Johnson in behalf of the members of our championship team. The banquet was given in the Masonic Lodge Hall. The entertainment consisted of short talks by Mr. Johnson and Superintendent B. W. Cotterman on sportsmanship and char- acter. Mr. Oscar Jones, the local music instructor, furnished the music. After the program Mr. D. R. Bendure, county superintendent, presented the silver cup to team for their sportsmanship and for winning every game in the league. This ended our baseball career until the spring season. All thoughts were then turned to basketball, the school hoping to make a record as good as the baseball record.

Giiirllsg Basketball Team The Ohio City girls played a total of sixteen games of basketball in the year of 1927-28. Of that number they won ten and lost six which made a percentage of 62.57 of the games won. During the season Ohio City scored a total of 474 points as compared with the 299 points of their opponents, which was an average of 31.1 points per game. Unfortunately the scores were made too high at times and not high enough at others. In the tournament Ohio City defeated its iirst opponent, Middlepoint, but lost to Union, the winners of the tournament, in the second game. Helen Trout was selected as one of the forwards on the all county team. At the close of the season seven girls were given letters for their playing and sportsmanship.

Nevertheless, the record was better than the record set by the previous teams. At the call for players the response was great and the choosing was difficult. At the first of the season practice was held at Van Wert. This great handicap was overcome when the gym in the new Ohio City-Liberty school was turned over to the team. From then on practice was regular and a great improvement was made by the team. The dedication game was played with York and both local teams were defeated by close scores. Although we lost this game, we defeated two county champion teams, Celina and Shawnee. The height of the team's ambition was to win the tournament. Although the boys fought to the last and displayed a good brand of basketball, they were greatly handicapped by the small floor and were defeated.

The two principle ones are Red Jungle and Aseel fowls. The Red Jungle fowl is small, active, and of a nervous temperament. From this fowl was developed the Mediterranean class in the countries around the Mediterranean Sea. The Aseel fowl is large and angular in form and of a slow, sluggish nature. From this bird was developed the large heavy meat breeds. The all purpose breeds were developed by crossing and recrossing the two breeds. The poultry industry has outgrown its swaddling clothes, and it is today not a mere side issue but has become one of the specialty lines of farm pursuits. Exclusive poultry farms are being established rapidly with greater promise than ever before of success, because of the progress that science has made so we can cull a hen by external characteristics. I cull for egg production, breeding and all kinds of diseases. CALL IN PERSON WRITE OR PHONE 99 E. A. STETLER OHIO CITY.
