Mary Werner as secretary, and Norman Trick as treasurer. In November two plays were given. The productions were “The Line is Busy” and the Riddle of Isis.” the later being a musical comedy. This was one of the very few of the musical plays presented by a junior class and it showed excellently what third year students can do. Members of the class have engaged in practically all the activities at Stivers. In dramatic art, literary work, music, commercial training, and athletics they have been well represented. When Miss Horrell returned from China at the beginning of the year, she was asked to serve as adviser of the class, which position she kindly accepted. Under her guidance the class of ’27 has developed a spirit of democracy and a sense of responsibility that promises much for its last year at Stivers.

[73][74] Our Clubs Stivers possesses many treasure chests, but one of the richest is that which symbolizes its clubs. This particular chest contains a great number of old and new gems, gems of various sizes and compositions, for there are literary, classic, music, athletic, scientific, and honorary organizations. Every opportunity is offered tin pupil who seeks diversion from regular academic tasks. Alpha and Vega, two of the oldest girls’ societies, in addition to Circle, are clubs whose programs consist of discussions of literary topics. To become a member of Classical one must study either Latin or history, for the boys and girls of this society treat subjects of a classical nature only. El Circulo Espanol is a club whose meetings are conducted in Spanish. The co-operative girls are few in number, but they are wide awake and have started a Girls' Industrial Society. The members of Geographical are boys who study matters pertaining to geography, science, and travel. Most of Stivers' musicians have their names on the membership list of Orpheum. The names alone of Radio and Debating express their respective interests. Our students are also interested in the V. M. C. A. and V. W. 0. A., for the (iirl Reserves and Hi Yi have a large following. There are also three honorary societies, and the members of Tigerines, Royal Bengals, and Ten Tigers are always alert to promote projects for the benefit of the school. Mr. LeFcvrc and Mr. Sharkey have chosen a member of each organization of Stivers to constitute a Student Council as an aid in solving problems which concern the student body. It must be remembered, however, that a large portion of the praise for the success of our clubs is due to the excellent guidance of their respective faculty advisers. To you who are not familiar with the societies of Stivers and their members, turning this page will be like unlocking a treasure chest. To you who are acquainted with what is to follow, lift again the lid and view once more your treasures. S. R. S. [75]Albright.

With Harry Wilhelm, “the Conqueror,” leading the “Orange Crushers,” this period has been one of few defeats. In the first year of his reign he was able, with his gallant knights of the orange, to gain possession of the city football championship and put the team in the position of claimant for the national title. In the same year he was able to “sack” the southwestern and state basket ball championship. He finished up this fruitful year by leading his men to victory in the battles for city and state baseball titles. In 1924 and ’25 his now famous eleven rode through the season’s campaign without defeat, although it was forced to play a tie game with Scott High of Toledo. Ilis basket ball quintette then regained the city championship, which they had lost the year before. This season, 1925-’26, his grid team lost its first battle in four years. The basket ball team came through the season with no defeats registered until the finals for the southwestern title. So ends the record of one of Stivers’ greatest coaches. It is with genuine regret that we accept his decision to leave our school. Good-by, coach, and the best of luck! [118] R. B.[119]Football in Retrospect Only three members of the national championship team of 1924 returned to Stivers on the first of September. Coach Harry Wilhelm faced the toughest job of his career. For three straight years no Stivers football team had bowed in defeat and he was determined to keep the slate clean. Ghost balls were brought out and the squad worked tirelessly from early afternoon till long after dark. Every player, every student realized fully that a three-year string of victories was a decided burden for an inexperiened team. The schedule called for St. Xaviers of Cincinnati to pry off the lid on September If). There was no time to be lost. At last the opening day arrived. The Tigers suddenly forgot their fears, played the game, and scored a clean cut victory which partially made up for those stinging defeats that St. Xaviers handed us last year. Columbus Central stood next in line and was defeated by a wide margin. Things began to look rosier. The Orange and Black goal line was yet uncrossed and the prospects for another year of glorious victory were encouraging. Then came Middletown! Using straight football the Middies twice placed the ball between our goal posts while the Orange backs were counting once. The Tigers fought furiously, but Coach Lingrel’s men held their ground and when the gun cracked Stivers was beaten. The Orange and Black had been vanquished for the first time in four years and it was a singular coincidence that Coach Elmo Bingrel, who steered the Orange Crusher when it began that three-year string of victories, should break it off so abruptly. These two touchdowns served as stinging spurs and thoroughly aroused the Stivers fighting spirit. With defeat urging them on, the Orange Gridders trampled on Wcstinghousc High of Pittsburg and Riverside of Chicago, both among the classiest combinations in their respective districts. Toledo Scott, who held the national champions to a tie last year, was next to fall. On the kickoff Scott recovered a fumble and turned it into a touchdown. Both teams were handicapped by the muddy field and neither scored again in the first half. On the first play in the second half Fuzzy Evans tore through left tackle and sprinted fifty-seven yards for a touchdown. On the first play in the third quarter Fuzzy again skidded across the goal after a thrilling seventy-yard dash that ended the scoring. The first game of the city series was a tough one. The Teddies outplayed the Tigers in the first half and grabbed a 7-0 lead. The Orange warriors came back on the field determined to score. Fighting desperately they overpowered their lighter opponents and twice crossed the goal. The game ended 16-7 and Stivers retained the city title. Weakened as we were by the Roosevelt combat, Springfield gave us a close call, but Abbott ’s trusty toe placed the ball squarely between the uprights in the final period and saved the day. On Turkey day we met Steele and thoroughly convinced the Big Red of our right to the city title. The team entrained December 3 for Pine Bluff, Arkansas, to play the Zebras who hold the southern title. Much to the dismay of Daytonians the Zebras turned out to be Nightmares and galloped through the Orange defense for 61 points. While this is the worst defeat ever received by a Stivers eleven it does not does not mean the team failed to come up to the standard of other years.. —C. R. [120]WILLIAM “WILLIE” GITMAN Captain Guard (All-city team) A tireless leader full of fight and football. He led the Orange to victory over the best teams in the state. His offensive play is unsurpassed. [121]CLIFFORD “FUZZY” EVANS Captain ’27 Halfback (All-city team) A whiz at broken-field running. It was his incessant ground gaining that put Stivers out in fro't. With Fuzzy at the helm in ’27 the Orange will be out to regain the National Title. HOWARD “BOOTS” LEHMAN Halfback A reliable passer and a good punter. He took the hardest knocks in silence and went back for more. They don’t come any gamer. ARTHUR “ART” SNYDER Quarterback Our master of strategy. His quick thinking was an invaluable asset to the Orange Crusher, picking the right play at the right time. [122]RICHARD “HACK” ABBOTT Fullback (All-city team) Behold the husky who collected the vital point after touchdowns. He never failed to punt out of danger or hit the line for first down and then—“He couldn’t gain an inch.” Oh, no! ROBERT “BOB” SCHELL Tackle (All-city team) A driving, smashing giant of a forward. He was one of the main reasons that opposing forwards found it impossible to break up Stivers’ shifts. HERBERT “ORBIE” SCHEAR Center (All-city team) One of the best scholastic centers of all time. His broad smile blocked many a plunge. [123]DANIEL “DAN” SAMMONS Tackle Here you see a large portion of Stivers’ “stone wall.” He took them as they came and set them down for a loss. ANDREW ZOELLER Guard A husky forward who kept the regulars on their toes every minute. Ready to rush in at the “crooshal moment” and pull the game out of the fire. JOHN “JOHNNY” HERMAN Guard A true sportsman through and through who played the game every second. [124]MARVIN FARRIER End The “longest” player on the squad and one always on the job to squash an end run. He held the line till his teeth gave out. RALPH “RED” LANG End A speedy little pass grabber. Just a flash of red as he cut across the field to spear the ball and then a spring toward the goal. He swooped down under punts like a hawk. RAYMOND “RAY” DEVANNEY Fullback A big rangy back with lots of punch. “Hit ’em hard and often and something’s bound to happen” is Ray’s motto. [125]DANIEL “BIG BOY” BOWELL Center Take a good look, folks! Our future snapper-back. It’s a safe bet that Dan will be in the center of the line next year. DICKSON “DICK” BURROUGHS Quarterback A clear thinker both on and off the field. If his long dashes of this year are a sample of what is to come we’ll need a new trophy case. HOWARD “STEW” STEWART Quarterback A steady, dependable field general, he was always ready to jump into the game and “do his stuff.” [126]LA VERNE REBOULET End An up-and-going flanker. They couldn't go through him and they seldom went over him. EARL DIETRICH End A capable performer ready at any time to step in and take his place in the Orange machine. [127]Basket Ball—1925-1926 Stivers went through an unusually fine season only to lose to Hughes High of Cincinnati in the finals of the southwestern tournament, thereby, for the second consecutive year, losing the chance to represent this section in the state meet at Columbus. The season opened with a win over Osborn by a 39 to 18 score. Then Mt. Healthy dropped a game to the Orange, 29 to 19. Columbus Trades also came in for a beating by a score of 46 to 22. At Eaton the Tigers lost their first game of the season, 21 to 15. The team then beat the Alumni in their annual game by a close score of 35 to 33. Doane Academy lost, 37 to 18. One day later Hughes defeated Stivers by a 21 to 14 count. Springfield, state champions, fell before the rush of the Orange, 26 to 11. Stivers then traveled to Miamisburg, Kenton, and Toledo Scott; losing to Miamisburg, Class B Champs, in an overtime game, 20 to 17, winning from Kenton, 23 to 16, and losing to Toledo Scott by one point, 24 to 23. In the first game of the championship series Steele fell by a score of 25 to 17. The Tigers again defeated Osborn at Osborn, 21 to 11. St. Xaviers lost its game, 25 to 12, and Springfield also went down to defeat on their home floor, 31 to 18. Steele, our foe of long standing in scholastic athletics, was defeated in the second game of the city championship series by a score of 23 to 18, thereby giving Stivers another city championship. Moraine lost to the boys on its own floor, 24 to 21. Roosevelt, the other city championship contender, was defeated by the Tigers, 35 to 15. At Greenfield Stivers was victorious, 21 to 18. After this string of victories the Orange dropped its last scheduled game at Middletown, 17 to 12. Stivers repeated the performance of last year’s team by losing in the finals of the sectional tournament. The team defeated Piqua, 35 to 25, Urbana, 16 to 14, Hamilton, 27 to 15. and Roosevelt, 28 to 16. The boys had high hopes of winning the tourney but went down to defeat in the finals at the hands of Hughes High of Cincinnati. 21 to 14. —D. F. [129]CLIFFORD “FUZZY” EVANS Captain Guard An able leader and guard, who has shown his worth in many contests. [130]ELMER“RED”JONES Captain-Elect Forward A hard fighter on the court. JACK “MACK” McCONNEL Forward A hard and conscientious worker, who can shoot and pass with precision. ARTHUR “BUS” TRAUTWEIN Center The boy whose uncanny ability to hit the net puzzled many opponents. He garnered the highest number of points ever made in Dayton scholastic basket ball. [131]HERBERT “ORBIE” SCHEAR Back Guard Our hats off to Orbie! He filled the back guard position in an exceptional manner. MICHAEL “MIKE” GEORGE Forward A boy with a steady hand and a good eye for the basket.

Sophomores and juniors have classes every Tuesday while the seniors have classes every Thursday. The tonics prescribed by Mr. Klee for the boys are: marching tactics, in which they are taught the fundamentals of mass marching, calisthenics, tumbling, volley ball, battle ball, basket ball, indoor baseball played in the gym in bad weather, outdoor baseball played in Bomberger Park during good weather, t rack events, and swimming. The demand for basket ball has caused Mr. Klee to form two leagues. The Intramurals played every Tuesday and Thursday after school and the Stivers High School Basket Ball League played every Monday and Wednesday after school on the Bomberger Park court. In the Intramurals the teams played off by elimination. The sophomores played off, 414 defeating all comers. The championship of the fourth floor was won by the make-time pupils of 417, room 414 being defeated. In the second floor elimination contests, 202 came out victorious by defeating 213, thereby winning the second floor championship. In the finals of the elimination contests between the rooms, 202 defeated 417 for the room championship. All Stivers boys were eligible to the Stivers High School Basket Ball League except varsity members. The league was composed of six teams: the Giants, Stewart, manager; Reds, Lehman, manager; Cubs, DeVanney, manager; Pirates, Richardson, manager; Cardinals, Early, manager; Braves, Yike, manager. In two rounds of playing the Giants came out as champions with eleven wins and one loss to their credit. The winning players of this team were: Stewart., Coleman, Leake. Lively, and Haller. No competition in swimming had been arranged this year because of the inadequately equipped pool. The swimming classes are held every Monday and Friday, and despite the condition of the pool many young men have become proficient in the art of swimming. —D. F. [141]What the Trophy Case Tells The first trophy brought to our school for permanent possession was a cup from the Shroyer Company for the city baseball championship in 1914. Next we acquired one for the annual cross-country run in 1916. The first state basket ball championship trophy was captured in 1916 by the squad captained by “Jit” Lightner. This cup, along: with three others for the years 1917, 1918, and 1920 was received from Ohio Wesleyan University. In 1921 Stivers received two trophies, one from the Kiwanis Club, and the other from the University of Chicago, the latter for having: been runners-up for the national championship. Two silver basket balls of actual size were presented by Cornell University for the city championships of 1924-'25 and 1925- 26. We have two other state champ cups, one from Ohio State University and one from Bastian Brothers, of Rochester, New York. A trophy was also presented to the squad of 1924 by the Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute of Troy, New York, for the Southwestern Championship. The latest basket ball prize won by Stivers is the Dayton Inter-school Victory Brick, which is not, however, a permanent possession. In the case there are three beautiful football trophies, two of which are silver footballs. These were presented to Stivers in the years 1922 and 1924. In 1922 the boys were undefeated and in ’24 they were national champions. The other prize possession is a cup received by Stivers from the Dayton Exchange Club in 1924. In track Stivers has received two trophies, one for the tug o’ w'ar, and one for the relay in 1923. And now we come to a trophy that is unique in that it is far different from any other that we possess. This is a plaque won by Mary Werner in 1925 in the state music memory contest. All the trophies but two are the permanent possessions of Stivers. We hope there will be many more to which we can point with pride and remembrance of those who won each trophy. [142]Girls’ Physical Education Activities Miss Riley and Miss Kern keep the girls right on their toes during gym periods. Formal exereise and drills, games of all sorts, hiking, indoor field and track meets, tournaments, and swimming offer sufficient variety to meet the physical needs of all. As a result of these activities, the following girls have been chosen as outstanding for their good work, fine spirit, and good posture : Elizabeth Jones, Lillian Krug, Grace Callahan, Margaret Fravel, Mary Shepard, Dorothy Mills, Grace Iiehme, Dorothy Niehus, Clara Geiger, Henrietta Zimmerman, Sarahmac Oliver, and Lorena Geske. In the Junior Red Cross life saving tests the following girls have qualified: Grace Rehme, Grace Callahan, Sarahmae Oliver, Esther Krebs, Harriett Rettig, and Graee Albright. The results of an interesting bounce ball tournament were: Juniors, 21 vs. Seniors, 9; Sophomores, 23 vs. Juniors, 21. Much fun was derived from the indoor field and track meet. The girls partook in the following events: fifty-yard dash, running high jump, standing broad jump, basket ball, far-throw (round arm), target throw, and knee raising. The results were as follows: Total Points Seniors .........................................................1136 Juniors .........................................................1944 Sophomores ............................................ ...... 2933 Highest individual scores—Clara Geiger, 67. senior; Dorothy Niehus. 61, sophomore; and Marjorie Rowe, 59, sophomore.

So we grow together On our lofty hill of learning, Bound by soul ties In love everlasting. —D. E. W.High Noon at Stivers Law and order reigned supreme in the schoolhouse. From the length of one tiled corridor to another, no sound was heard except those necessary to a well ordered schoolroom. The occasional murmur of voices from recitation rooms, where English pupils and teachers alike were in the midst of Burke’s outline, first broke the stillness. Next the sound of French and Latin words mispronounced by American students was heard. Then from the commercial rooms came the click of typewriters as tyros, eager to learn the touch system, transcribed their shorthand notes. As these sounds died away, the click of bottles and sound of running water gave testimony to the fact that laboratory work was somewhere in progress, while from the auditorium sounds of music and lines from Shakespeare made one realize that a dramatic art class was then in session. These noises alone disturbed the reign of quiet, as each pupil and teacher was busily engaged at his task. But suddenly this quiet was broken by the shrill ringing of a bell, and as it rang, it seemed automatically to set all things into motion. Doors swung open, pupils poured forth, shouts of laughter and sounds of running were heard, for it was the signal for the lunch period. And the god of chaos looked on and smiled as he succeeded quiet to the throne, for each pupil struggled to obtain first place in line. In the shadow of this never ending line, many varied feelings find expression. First there is tin1 blithesome, gay chatter of the girls who are club-members. anxiously discussing that evening’s dance, and as they describe to one another the gowns they arc to wear, they are lost to the commonplace occurrence of luncheon. In their imagination they are dancing away to the tune of some enchanting melody in a swirl of perfume, silks, ribbons, flowers, and music. In a far distant corner four members of a senior debating team madly present arguments pro and con. As they make their last hasty preparation for the class which is to follow, they eat mechanically, more interested in briefs and bibliographies than in bread. Other students, seemingly true followers of Epicurus, have put away such trivial things as books and lessons and are striving for one attainment only, that of satisfying their hunger. As the luncheon period draws to a close, a few late comers and those who return to make another purchase take the place which, just a few moments before, was occupied by that long line. Some pupils go singly or in groups from the crowded lunch room to their respective classes or to stand about the corridors. Others remain seated languidly at the tables, as though loathe to part with the memory of such a pleasant event. Then in the midst of laughter, conversation, eating, and study, the bell again sounds its warning. Quiet takes up her sceptre to rule once more as chaos descends from the throne. —D. II. B. [148]A Dissertation on Science Science is a wonderful thing. Bvery one says so. To it we owe our modern civilization. Little would remain should we take away the printing press, electricity, the automobile, and our advanced knowledge of chemistry. Now the newspapers, for instance. How would your friends and, incidentally, your enemies, know that you had entertained the renowned Admiral of the Swiss Navy or Mile. Ophelia Dunkincoffy, the famous lecturer on the Fur Coat Industry in the Fiji Islands, if it were not for the society column? I fully realize that eventually the telawoman would inform them, but even that reliable source has been known to distort the facts of the situation. Then how would young wives know the names of the concoctions they prepare (so that they can tell their husbands if they are so indiscreet as to ask and do not value the serenity of their domiciles), if there were no women’s page? How would the critics of literature and drama live? You know those fellows who people think have tried and failed, but who I think felt too darn superior even to try. Where would Ihey earn their daily pittance? And what a dreadful blow it would be to the Ladies’ Philanthropic Society if some one should obtain a divorce and they would be unaware of the occurrence. Yea, verily, the printing press is of immeasurable importance to our society. Then there is electricity, that wonderful servant of mankind. It has made the radio possible. Now with but a twist of the dial we may hear bedtime stories or a lecture on the correct method of divesting an onion of its fibrous protection. Through electricity, we now have Alexander Bell’s great invention. Think how much the telephone aids us in our daily life. For instance, without its wonderful aid, it would be quite impossible to call up the boss at the office some tine morning, and, simulating a feminine voice, say: “Hello, Mr. Goutenfoot. This is George’s wife speaking. He is ill today and will not be able to come down this morning. Oh. yes. the doctor says he will be all right tomorrow. Good-by.” Then off for a few rounds of golf with Bill, who had pulled the same one on his boss. Edison’s great contribution to the electrical world, the incandescent lamp, is used in nearly every home. In the days of gas lamps, a demure miss and her swain returning from a buggy ride must grope their way through the darkness in search of a match. Now that we have the electric light—they don’t even bother to turn it on. Our civilization demands electricity. Permanent waves would be a fizzle (or should I say sizzle) without it. The phonograph, too, while hardly under the caption of electricity, has brought us many evenings of delightful entertainment. On many occasions, I am sure, it has been expedient to stop the feminine talking machine by drowning her out with the mechanical one. Automobiles have also done much to speed up our mode of living. The flivver has made it possible for nearly every one to ride and has proved itself an economical instrument of transportation. Although it has certain disad- [149]vantages over Dobbin, it being necessary to hold the wheel while driving (at least with one arm), these are offset by the comforts it provides even in winter. New models with advanced ideas in engineering are constantly making their appearance and they are now contemplating adding roller skates as standard equipment on all models. So you see science is keeping paee with the times. Chemistry has also played a wonderful part in our existence. Our chemists have developed many beautiful shades of dyes—henna and others, so that now even the good dye young. Chemistry is responsible for much that is beautiful in our lives. A glance at the face of the average girl proves conclusively the chemical source of much pulchritude. So there again we realize how much science has done to add beauty to feminine faces. So, to paraphrase Bryant— “To him who in the love of science holds Communion with her visible forms. She sure does speak a various language.” J. S. The Typical Stivers Girl She has wavy bobbed hair. ( We cannot vouch for the naturalness of the wave, however.) Her complexion may or may not be natural. The clothes she wears are chosen with regard to both appropriateness and beauty. Occasionally she wears something, like baby socks, which are not exactly practical, for she loves to be different. She is a jolly good sport and enjoys going to the games. She likes to play volley ball and bounce ball in the gym, and sometimes she swims in the pool. Shb is fairly conscientious about her school work and studies her lessons heartily—if she has no dance or theatre date. She is a good pal with the boys and never expects to be treated like a Dresden china figure. Yet she will tolerate no disrespect for her sex. She belongs to one or more school societies and really enjoys the affairs they sponsor, especially the dances. She learns not to be snobbish; therefore she has many friends. She is healthy, and illness causes her to miss perhaps only three days a year at the most. She eats sensibly, but indulges in ice cream and candy to her heart’s content. She is as kind-hearted as the day is long and very accommodating about lending money (if she has it), her gym togs, her extra pencil, sheets of paper, or anything else which her forgetful friends demand. She is the modern high school girl—the embodiment of the times. D. E. W. [150]Going to College During their last year and especially around commencement time the seniors are often asked, “Are you going to college?” and the answers in the affirmative seem to indicate that a large number of our classmates will further cruise in the Sea of Learning after receiving their sailing papers from Stivers at graduation. Although they have developed greatly in their four years in high school and have learned many things from books and from participation in the various activities at school, the majority of Stiversitcs know that they are not yet fitted to enter the greater University of Life. And rightly so. When our parents were in school, colleges were neither so large nor so well equipped as they are today and graduates from them were widely scattered. In the last twenty or twenty-five years the average education attained in school has increased materially until now the number of college graduates per hundred persons has more than quadrupled and is still rising. In those times practically everybody received the training for his life work in .the “University of Hard Knocks” which, as its name indicates, has a long and very stiff course. Promotion in this school, even then, required ceaseless application and pluck. Think then, how doubly hard it is today when the number of trained men is so much larger. It is exceedingly difficult, of course, for one who has not had the benefits of higher education to compete with the college graduate in the realm of business or industry and have any chance of reaching the top. Naturally, there are exceptions; a man may have an inherent genius for his line of work or else may be promoted over college men who have frittered their time away in school and do not apply themselves sufficiently to their jobs. But such exceptions are few and chances for success so greatly favor the college graduate that every Stiversite, even though he must wait a year or more to complete necessary financial arrangements, should make every effort to go to college and show his old Alma Mater that he has the true Stivers spirit of striving for and attaining the best. —R. L. M. [151]On Going Fishing I must set the reader right at the start—it would be a shame to mislead him. I never fish. Of course, 1 am an occupant of our ear on Izaak Walton expeditions, along with a large and varied collection of disreputably-dressed people, steel, cane, and bamboo fishing poles, army blankets, buckets of bait (mostly night-crawlers and craw-dads), baskets of lunch, live nets for the fish we are to catch, magazines, boxes of tackle, leather cushions, and school books. lint never, for as much as an instant, think that I am foolish enough to fish. Not 1. 1 pride myself on being the only one in my immediate family who is not a slave to a heavy fishing rod. When we arrive at the spot along the river at which fish are reported to be dreadfully hungry, 1 am very accommodating in helping to unload some of the previously-mentioned articles. (I am unusually partial to the food baskets.) Then I spend about fifteen minutes in exploring the river bank in search of dry wood for the fire. 1 struggle valiantly with huge branches the size of young logs and place on the wood-pile enough fuel to keep a stove going a week. By this time, the fish enthusiasts have rigged up six or seven poles. Those who are indulging in “still” fishing are seated calmly on stumps or rocks with their eyes riveted upon their gaily-colored, dancing cork or wooden floaters, which mark the places where some of the finny tribe should, by all means, soon come to grief. The more ambitious souls who desire to pull in the “big ones” from midstream are casting out with short steel rods, to which are attached the whizzing, singing reels. After a few minor catastrophes, such as getting a line caught in the low-hanging branches of a near-by tree and sliding feet-first into the water in an effort to rescue a rod (with a twelve-dollar reel) which is slowly but surely slipping through the mud, the “casters” sink their hooks near the opposite shore with merry cries of “Fish, here comes breakfast!” (or luncheon or dinner, as the case may be). Meanwhile, with army blankets and cushions, I have fixed a snug bunk for myself near the fire and am comfortably situated reading the Cosmopolitan [152]or studying. Conveniently near at hand are baskets of oranges and bananas and a cake box tilled with sugar cookies and butterscotch rolls. I disregard all diet rules when tin- rest of the family go fishing. In fact, one of the members of the party once unkindly remarked that 1 never stop eating! dust about this far along in the program of events conics the feature without which a fishing trip is a lifeless, uninteresting operation, really nothing more than a fiat failure. 1 refer to a shower of rain. A gentle drizzle will do; but if thunder, lightning, hail, and pelting rain come as fulfillment of the weatherman’s prophecy of “fair and warmer,” so much the better. The day becomes worthy of notice—it acquires personality. I hastily gather together my books, blankets, and other miscellaneous objects which have collected around me, and. amid much excited yelling and many smothered exclamations of wrath, a make-shift shelter is constructed. It looks like an old-fashioned “lean-to,” and. being open to the elements on one side, reminds me of the rude log hut in which, as 1 have read, Abraham Lincoln lived for a part of his boyhood. I feel that the great emancipator anti I have something in common. The wool “armies” shed the rain for a while, but when a cloud-burst comes, we run to a small pig-shelter on the other side of the fence. Naturally we must first climb the fence, an operation which results in torn skirts and hose for the feminine members of the party. Nevertheless, we are glad to reach the pig’s summer home and are glad to find that the owner is a nice, clean porker, and that he has gone that day to visit relatives. Hut only three persons can be accommodated in the pig’s residence, and so the gentlemen serve dinner to the sheltered ladies through the wide meshes in the wire fence, getting thoroughly soaked during their chivalrous action. The dinner, 1 should explain, has been cooked before the rain falls with so much violence and abundance and so must be eaten regardless of the weather. W hen the baked beans, pork chops, and spaghetti (all generously watered) have been consumed, it is decided by unanimous vote to give the fish a chance and return home. Accordingly the thousand and one little things are carried laboriously back to the automobile, which is conveniently parked about a quarter of a mile away. The muddy, irritable, sneezing crew again “mans the ship,” just as the sun breaks through the cloud haze and shines hotly and benignantly down upon the home-going fishermen, as if laughing gleefully at their discomfiture. D. E. W. [1531Suprema Nocte Time: The last night before school is dismissed for the year. Place: Lobby in front entrance of Stivers. Characters: Minerva (statue), goddess of wisdom, and Augustus (statue), first emperor of Home. Clock in Trinity Church strikes twelve. The immobile features of Augustus and Minerva relax slowly. Hath stir and stretch to loosen the muscles which have been unmoved for a whole year. Augustus: “Forsooth, my dear Minerva, we have passed another year. This brief respite of one hour each year is the only thing which hath made my existence bearable.” (Adds hastily) “Except the pleasure of again conversing with one so beautiful and wise as thyself, nata dea.” Minerva: “Yea, Augustus, for one hour again we will be youthful. But come, let us again stroll through these halls whilst we may; forget not, we have but one brief hour of liberty. ” (Both step down from their pedestals and arm in arm slowly proceed up the stairs.) Augustus: “Hast thou noticed the manner in which the young women of Stivers dress in this generation? In my day the women wore beautiful flowing robes which were very becoming—now there is hardly enough material in the robes of these comely maidens to make a sash for a toga.” Minerva: “Ah. but are thev not more beautiful than the maidens of your day?” Augustus: “Yea, so they are, but the source of their pulchritude seems to be those little round boxes which they carry and with which they anoint themselves frequently.” (Pauses for reflection and then assumes a jocular manner) “Nevertheless, Minnie, my dear, they’re the cat’s meow, or I should say, tht feline’s exclamation!” Minerva’s eyes twinkle as she listens to Augustus’ modern expression and she too discards her ancient diction. Minnie: “Yes, Augie, and these boys! To some of these football players a blow with the caestus would be a mere tap, while most of these apothecary cattle-tenders or rather—how did I hear that flapper express it? Oh yes— drug store cowboys woidd consider a slap a deathblow.” (She draws a little closer to Augustus.) “And say, Augie, don’t it getcha sore to hear about the parents of these students objecting to them going to dances once in a while?” Augie: (Sarcastically) “Sure; don’t they know that young people enjoy these wrestling matches set to music ? ’ ’ Minnie: “But still, old top, don’t you admire these pretty girls with bobbed hair and sun-kissed cheeks---. ” Augie: (Interrupting) “Yeah, I wonder whose ‘son’ kissed them.” Minnie: “But there are many who are not frivolous, Augie; some of ’em still burn the midnight oil.” [154]Augie: “Yes, some do, but most of ’em don’t get in that early.” Minnie: {Becoming irritated) “Say, listen, where do you get oft' criticising the young people of today, ya big egg? You weren’t any bargain yourself, if 1 remember correctly.” Angie: “Well, maybe not, but I didn’t try to bribe a young chap by the name of Paris either!” Both glare at each other and turning their backs proceed, each by a different stairway, back to their pedestals in the lobby. Minerva assumes her immortal appearance while Augustus draws himself up with a lordly mien. The clock in Trinity Church strikes one. The person who goes camping for the first time imagines he is going to have a perfectly lovely time. He has the impression that camping is an easy, happy-go-lucky sort of life. Oh, but he is to be soon disillusioned. He imagines himself sleeping, eating, hunting, and fishing himself through the happy, golden days. He doesn’t stop to think about who is going to make the beds, cook the “grub,” wash the dishes, carry the water, cut the wood, and make the pies; or if he does, it is in a hazy way. He chooses the place where the “skeeters” are sure to be the hungriest. Or he pitches his tent in a creek bottom and the first time it rains he wishes that he had thought to bring along a canoe. His wood is wet and his fire refuses to burn. He eats cold “chuck” and “cusses” the world in general and the camp site in particular. Finally he becomes discouraged and goes home to tell his friends what a good time he had. —J. S. On the Follies of Campers —M. G.Cheer Up! Did you ever think when the day was drear ’N everything gloomy and sad. That it’s a fine old world you’re livin’ in— An’ things ain’t half so bad. Sometimes you’re blue and down in the dumps, Seems like trouble jes’ tumbles your way From losin’ your purse to gettin’ the mumps— But things ain’t half so grey. Just take a walk and call on some soul Who’s crippled, or deaf, or can’t see. An’ then you’ll think you’re a lucky old mole— An’ things ain’t as bad as they be. You know, life’s like a long, long road With ruts that make you curse, But we’re plodding along in spite of our load— And life could be lots worse. M. A. B. In the Year 2000 A. D. Stivers boys will carry compacts; Girls will smoke big fat cigars. Teachers will indulge in eating “Hot Dawgs” during business hours. Wheel chairs will be used to carry Students all from room to room; Teachers will permit crap shooting And give no tests ’til crack of doom. In the lunch room, consomme, Turkey, and filet of sole They will eat from Sevres china; Then to Keith’s they all will stroll. School will close when twelve is striking; Lessons will be short and sweet. For the mind’s growth “Snappy Stories” Will be read; they can’t be beat. [156]JANET RQSINBLOOM j DOROTHY HAUSER SUCCESSFUL. CONTESTANTS IN STENOGRAPHIC AMD TYPING CONTESTS [158]The Commercial Department Stivers’ commercial department has again been rewarded for its principles of accuracy by the attaining of four honors in the Southwestern Sectional Shorthand and Typewriting Contest. It has had the privilege of training four girls who have so proved their knowledge of these principles as to win the following honors: Janet Rosenbloom, first place in the champion typewriting; Dorothy Hauser, first place in amateur shorthand; Grace Albright, third place in champion shorthand; and Grace Rehme, third place in novice typewriting. These girls had the highest percent accuracy of all contestants, making the least percent mistakes. This is a record that Stivers’ commercial department can well be proud of. “INTERESTING, IF TRI E-----------” Concord is the town where the battle of Lexington was fought. The table of contents is a stand with objects on. Bottom is the court gesture in the play. Ariel through Prospero’s magic was indivisible at times. The subject of my talk is “Revealing the Eighteenth Amendment.” John Alden was in love with Priscilla Dean. Rhode Island was founded by Will Rogers. Shakespeare is the greatest American writer. The boll weevil is a French general. A bamboo is a large ape. The international date line is a railroad. N. B. The above words of wisdom fell from the lips of various Stivers students.

It is a “two-in-one” course. It combines in a single program a regular high school course that meets college requirements and vocational trade training through practical experience in part-time work. The variety of training offered and the number of firms co-operating make it possible to satisfy the desires of many high school students. At the present time members of the Co-operative High School are prepar mg themselves for engineering work in all its phases—civil, mechanical, chemical. and electrical. Others are studying theoretical mechanics and gaining practical knowledge at the same time in machine shop practice, auto mechanics, toolmaking, and designing, mechanical as well as architectural drawing, pattern making, and airplane assembling. Typing and salesmanship claim many interested workers and future printers alternate theory and practice in a most enlightening manner. Dayton industries are aiding this department in carrying out this vocational program by placement of Co-operative students in practical work on alternating two-week periods, one section being in school while their alternates are at work. Co-operating firms sharing the success of this training plan are as follows: A. C. Electric Co., K. B. Allen Engineering Co., Brelsford Printing Co., Cellaring and Dressier, Civil Engineers, Dayton Fan and Motor Co., Dayton Pattern Manufacturing Co., Dayton Power and Light Co., The Delco, The Delco-Light Co., The Duro Pump and Manufacturing Co., Elder and Johnston Co., Ewing and Hinkle Co., Gebhart Folding Box Co., Grant Co., Groneweg Printing Co., The Home Store, Kay and Ess Paint Co., Langefeld Printing Co., Leland Electric Co., McCook Field, National Cash Register Co., Oelman Co., Ohmer Battery Co., Ohmer Fare Register Co., Rike-Kumler Co., Schenck and Williams.

CALENDAR With the opening of school comes the alibi abuse, “My Ford wouldn’t run,” was the very first excuse. At Stivers this year we are missing the green, For in all our long halls not a “Freshie” is seen. The seniors in a meeting are very select, For today their officials they wish to elect. Stivers, Stivers, rinky, ping, pang! St. Xaviers falls with a mighty bang! Crave a tonic for your case of blues? Here it is! First issue of the Stivers News! Seniors strut around the halls like duchesses and kings; There’s nothing like displaying some new class rings! The Journalism students have left our city fair, They’ve gone off to Columbus to get ideas rare. We have our first assembly to formulate some pep, You simply have to yell or be quite out of step! It’s no wonder at all some illusions are shaken! The seniors are having their pictures taken. Grave seniors cast their worry off and throw all care aside, To join in the big Frolic and let their lessons “ride.” Wrhen seniors look preoccupied and just somewhat downhearted, Could anything be plainer then, that senior talks have started? No, buckets and flowers are not the latest style, ’Twas Alpha initiation that caused the school to smile. That old adage was true—even juniors have their days, And they certainly did “step out” in their clever class plays. Stivers still is city champion on Thanksgiving Day. They completely whipped the Lions in the Annual Fray! W’hat? Pine Bluff? Ahead? Hush! Be Quiet! Nuff Sed! Yea, masculine seniors take their turn despite their scornful pose, For have they not on this fair day discussed Commencement Clothes? No, it didn’t mark a battle or any other fray, This date was so eventful—well—another Grade Card Day! We began vacation with vigor and vim, With a great old dance in our great old gym. Listen, look, and then please stop; Did you have fun at the Alpha-Vega Hop? Seniors went to the office on the run, To count their credits, one by one. Some wept and wailed and others bounced, When the cast for “Little Whopper” was finally announced. There’s no reason now for anything to go wrong; We have a Student Council to push affairs along. We vow to do much better as we think of all our sins; No, not because it’s New Year’s—but the second term begins. [182]Jan. 27. Feb. 4. Feb. 9. Feb. 12. Feb. 24. Mar. 3. Mar. 1G. Mar. 18.

From her boyish bob and mannish ears, could he tell she wore a skirt? Again the old, old rivals meet to test their skill and fame, ’Twas ever thus with “Jeff” and “Lymp” to play their annual game. The sophomores now graced the stage and they made quite a hit, “The Tenth Attempt” was bound to please if you liked sparkling wit. The Orange-Crushers play their trump and take another trick; They win the City Championship and carry home the brick. A talk, “The Making of a Home,” drew girls to Vega Tea, In spite of knickers and shingled locks, they’re feminine, you see. Seniors are preoccupied and don’t indulge in fun, You ask why all the sudden change? Debates have just begun! We picture him with halos and a glory quite divine, When we hear that our beloved coach announces he’ll resign. The Wittenberg Glee Club was quite “easy on the eyes,” But the pianist was the one who got the side-long looks and sighs. Four nights of success—was it a “popper?” Of course it was—“The Little Whopper ’ Baseball training starts off with a bang, In the cheer-leaders’ language, “Let’s go, gang!” Oh, we’ll dance and we’ll shout and with joy we will sing, For the good time we had at the “Tigerine Fling.” And now after “loud socks” and “jazz-bows” and “slickers” The boys are decked out in “plus-four knickers.” Stivers’ glory is not shown in sport and plays alone, In the stenographic contest, she ably held her own. A bevy of musicians was instantly detected When class and farewell songs were finally selected. “Daddy Long-Legs” was a howling success, Every one saw it? Why, I should guess! In the Baccalaureate Sermon we were given good advice, If we should always follow this, wouldn’t it be nice? We yelled and we sang and we danced with the gay, Oh, we’ll never forget our peppy Class Day. In stately march and solemn file, The seniors come along the aisle, Then four of us stand up and spout— Commencement Night? Beyond a doubt. We have such fun at the Farewell Ball, We quite forget ’tis the end of it all! —G. V. A. [183]I BE IT A HOQQY OP A DPCAM WE MUST HAVE SOME IDEAS FOR ANOTHER PAGE.
