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. MARY NEWTON Ik all Pk ik Elmer Switzer who had stopped at a westerner's cabin down in Kansas. noticed four holes in the door. Elmer- Friend, I do not like to be too inquisitive, but what are the four holes in the door for? Westerner- Well, you see, I has four cats. Elmer- But wouldn't one good-sized hole do for all the cats? Westerner- Boy, when I say 'Scatl' I mean 'Scatl' ' unnuuniwiuiwvuuniii Ginih-a rmmmn--vnu--.1ui?-mniki-li'-n-in6 vv
