Columbia University, Post graduate work Mr. Avery has been with us two years as superintendent of schools. He was here but a few weeks until his magnetic personality won him the good will of the students and parents. The schools have progressed rapidly under his skillful and thorough supervision. At all times Mr. Avery had the interest of the school at heart and has secured for us several new organizations for the betterment of our school life. We are sorry to have Mr. Avery leave but we wish him best of luck in his new position. MR. GEORGE B. KIRK Ohio State University, B. S. Kent State College, Bs. Ed. Mr. Kirk came to Wadsworth High at the beginning of the school year 1925 and took up the duties of Principal. In the year that we have had him as our principal he has proven to us that we have a friend in him. His syste- matic way of taking care of all school duties and his interest in outside activi- ties have won our respect. As a gentleman and one who is always fair in his dealings he is above reproach. To make certain that he would be busy every minute he coached girls basketball. Another school's gain is our loss. MISS ERMA I. SWIGART Heidelberg College, H. B. What would we do without her? Even though she teaches Algebra and Geometry she can always find time to help us out of our troubles. She coaches boys and girls Clee Clubs and we are sure no one could do better. Teacher, Friend and Helper. Difficult to fill her position. MRS. MARGUERITE OPLINGER University of Chicago Gregg School of Chicago Western State Normal, Kalamazoo, Mich. Commercial teacher? Yes, the best ever. We feel sure that Wads- worth High would not be the same without Mrs. Oplinger to show our students how to manipulate a typewriter and to teach them to keep their books up to date and out of debt. MRS. A. CORNELL SHERIFF Miami University, B. S. If a teacher can teach in a school year after year she must be good. Therefore Mrs. Sheriff is a good teacher for she has taught in Wadsworth High for three years and we are glad to have her with us and will be sorry if she leaves. She teaches English to our Sophs. and Freshies. MISS FRANCES CRAMER Ohio University, Bs. Ed. Ohio Northern 'Miss Cramer has been with us for three years and well has she proven to us her sterling character. She teaches English to our Juniors and Seniors and everyone likes her. MR. EDWARD j. SORNA Kent State College, S. M. C. Special Mr. Sorna is our Manual training and mechanical drawing teacher and if anyone can show our students how to drive a nail straight or draw a round circle we are sure Mr. Sorna can do it. We hope he remains with us in the future. MR. FRED L. WOODBRIDGE Wooster College, A. B. Mr. Woodbridge teaches us History, Civics, Biology and General Sci- ence. He is a very able teacher and in addition is well liked by all his pupils. He also coaches debate and we will say for him, he is some 'iarguerf' MR. FRED C. SCI-IMUCK Ohio State University Dennison College Ashland College, A. B. University of Illinois Mr. Schmuck has proved to us that he can teach academic work as well as coach Athletics. He is very efficient in the class room and successful on the Athletic field. I-le has been with us for two years and we all join in asking him to come back to Wadsworth High next year. MISS FERN SWIGART Wittenberg College, A. B. Can she cook? Ask the Athletic teams. Miss Swigart has the job of making good homemakers of our girls, she teaches them cooking and sew- ing. She has been with us for two years and we hope she will return for several more. MR. R. B. SUNDERMAN University of Michigan, B. S. in Chemistry University of Chicago Mr. Sunderman came to Wadsworth High this year and we all feel lucky that we have had a teacher and all around good fellow of his calibre. He really teaches us Chemistry and Physics and he has that ability that few of us have of getting our point across to others. We hope to see him back in Wads- worth High for many years. MRS. H. S. KRABILI.. Bluffton College, A. B. Mrs. Krabill was promoted to the High School from Junior High Eng- ish to teach French. A deserved promotion. She also teaches Commercial Arithmetic. She maintains perfect attention in her classes but she is liked none the less for it. We will consider ourselves fortunate if she returns to our faculty next year. MR. ROBERT E. SHEETS Wooster College, A. B. Mr. Sheets is the latest addition to our faculty. He came to Wadsworth at the beginning of the second semester and immediately won the admiration of all by assisting with the glee club concert. The Senior Class Play stamped him a real dramatic coach. His culture and scholarship have made him an enviable record as a teacher of Latin and French.

X teen Class History ln the fall of l9l3 a very fortunate event occurred, namely, the future class of 26 entered the Public School of Wadsworth. It was the beginning of Life's great race. Such a hale and hearty bunch, full of pep, and eager to learn the better things in life. Then through the years we went, parties, pic- nics, and hikes filled our time, then Junior High. During the seventh and eighth grades we felt quite dignified when we had six or seven different teachers, and had our first experience of changing classes. As we went through the halls mingling with the High School students, we began to wonder what Wadsworth High had in store for us. During the battle of these first eight years, new students joined us and many of our old friends left school to pursue other interests, or to attend other schools. Now we were ready to enter High School, l I0 strong, but only I8 of these had started in l9l3, namely l-larold Bassett, Jake Blough, Jim Daykin, Bob Gerstenschlager, George and joe Griesmer, Edwin Parker, Floyd Prince, Hugh l'lartzell, Mildred Kahl, Mildred Kurtz, Martha Styer, Madie Weaver, Mary Everhard, Elizabeth Sturges, Naomi Neely, Opal Nico- demus, and Mildred Hunsicker. Then came our High School career. Our class had the honor of being the first Freshman Class to enter the New Building. For many weeks we Freshies wandered about, dazed and wild-eyed, but we were destined to do something, we did-for now we are the Class of 26. During the Basket- ball season we soon found out that several of our boys had a big career ahead of them. During the basketball tournament the freshies were given the honor of having the strongest voices in the gym. Upon entering into the Sophomore Class, we still ran true to form, that is we were the most severe critics the freshies encountered. Outside of a few Sophomore parties, that's about all the Class did. Sophomores are very unimportant creatures anyway. Be that as it may, we suddenly underwent a complete change and be- came juniors, people of great consequence. We fully organized our class. Officers elected were, Edwin Parker, President, Ross Shenk, Vice president: Gertrude Watts, Secretaryg Charles Christian, Treasurer. We chose black and red as our colors. Then tradition urged us on and color fights soon ensued. During the height of our fun the Faculty forbade the sporting of our much honored colors at school. Soon after the election of officers, rings, pins, and sweaters, were or- dered, and about a month later the class members were sporting these, and the aforesaid articles began changing hands. At last we have reached the haven of Seniors. We have accepted the throne of the ZS Class, and have done much to keep it in high esteem. We are proud of our classmates who have put our class on the Athletic Mapg proud of the Loving Cup won by the boys in the inter-class tournament. Soon after school had taken up Senior Class officers were elected. They are: Edwin Parker, President, james Daykin, Vice President: Charles Chris- tian, Secretary, Anna Crarshman, Treasurer. We are grateful to the teachers who have stuck by us, and helped us along the highway of hard work. Eighteen boys and girls have managed to stick amid sunshine and storm, and now we call ourselves The Stickers, and we are hoping that we may continue to be stickers all through l..ife's journey. So in May when the fifty-five Seniors who have thus loyally defended the standards of the school, have completed years of work, we will cherish the memory of four happy years spent in W. H. S. As we pass on to the higher things of Life, we hand the Throne to the 2 7 Class, to love, honor, and esteem, as we of the 2 6 Class have tried to do. Twenty Senior Wiener Roast A great number of the Senior class of '26 met in front of the school on September 24th. After everybody had found a machine, they left for Bowles Grove at Sharon. We all arrived at the grove in due time. The fire was started and eats appeared. The menu consisted of wieners, mustard, buns, pickles, and marshmallows. Quite a feed as anyone that attended will tell you! After everything had been eaten, a fine program was furnished by the entire bunch. All in all a fine finish. G. A. Griesmer Senior Hallowe'en Party On the evening of the twenty ninth of October, nineteen hundred and twenty-five, nearly every Senior met at Virginia Seiberling's at Western Star for a l-lallowe'en party. There were many unique costumes in the general assembly, everything imaginable from girls to ghosts. Games that were amusing to all concerned were played. After these had run their course, there was lively music and several indulged in the light fantastic. The lunch consisted of pumpkin pie, hot dog sandwiches, catsup, dough- nuts, cider and pickles. Everybody enjoyed this sumptuous repast to the limit of their capacity. The party adjourned about eleven thirty o'clock. lVlany thanks were ten- dered Miss Virginia Seiberling who was a clever hostess. George A. Griesmer Boosting the Old High School I 2 Faithful and true hearted, Honors she has taken Let us cheer our Wadsworth High, On the track and with the ball, We revere her and defend her, May she always rank the highest, And her colors proudly fly, May her colors never fallg We will stand for her, united, There's no other that can match her, Of her deeds we gladly tell, When her team is on the field, l-ler colors streaming, Her boys the fleetest, Glad faces beaming, Her girls the sweetest, So here's a cheer for her Then here's a cheer for her, That we all love so well. For her who ne'er will yield. Chorus joyous and ever loyal, Let us boost for Wadsworth High, Let ev'ry heart sing, Let ev'ry voice ring, There's no time to grieve or sigh: lt's ever onward, our course pursuing, May defeat ne'er-our arclor cool, But, united, we will boost for her, Our Wadsworth High!

Slutz Class Song Presentation of Class Presentation of Diplomas Benediction New Feature A new feature was introduced into Wadsworth High School at the be- ginning of the second semester of the year i925-26. This was in the form of a new schedule, made up of six periods of sixty minutes each, three in the morning and three in the afternoon with one hour and a quarter at noon. Under the old schedule there were seven periods of forty minutes each-four in the morning and three in the afternoon with one hour and a half at noon. There are many good features about this new schedule. With periods an hour long, more can be accomplished in class where you have the help of teachers and students. The hour periods also make it possible for students taking subjects requiring laboratory work to get this all in one period, while the old schedule required two periods for this work. It has been proven this semester that the students can do the same amount of work in one period of laboratory as they formerly did in the two periods of forty minutes each. With the old schedule, students taking Chemistry or Physics, found it very difficult to take extra subjects because they had to save two periods for their laboratory work which they had only twice a week. From an economic standpoint this new schedule has helped the problem of home Economics and Manual Training a great deal. Under the old schedule both of these subjects required two periods and this limited the number of students who could take these subjects. Under the new schedule one period is sufficient to cover the lesson and consequently, the vocational teachers can handle twice the number of students they could before. The new schedule is so arranged that for one period each day all teachers are relieved of class duty. This is worked out by having the first period off on Monday, the second on Tuesday, the third on Wednesday, the fourth on Thursday, and the fifth and sixth on Friday. Under this arrangement nearly all school activities such as Glee Clubs, Class Plays, Orchestra, Debate, Chapel and all other activities with the exception of athletics can be taken care of during the off periods and no classes are interrupted. Those students whose grades are not up to standard must use the off period for study. From actual practice in Wadsworth High School this semester, the new schedule promises to be a success in every way. With a few new features everyone should be well satisfied, for students and teachers alike feel that it is an improvement over the old schedule. James Daykin American Legion Presents Two Cups for Inter-Class Basket Ball Trophies A Committee from the Local Post met with School Officials, Tuesday evening, Dec. l5, and formulated plans for the presentation of cups. It was agreed that the cups should be placed in the Home Rooms of the winning Classes of that year at the close of each tournament and remain there as a permanent trophy when won three times. For example, when Boys or Girls of three Senior Classes have won the Tournaments, the cup will remain in that room permanently and the Legion will present another cup. Twenty-fou r Junior Class Report The Junior class of twenty seven started out with a boom last fallg the largest Junior class in the history of Wadsworth High School and of course we are proud to have this honor. It doesn't seem possible that three long years have passed since we started as Freshmen, bewildered and half afraid of our upper classmen. We have been guided safely through the treacherous whirlpools and rapids and will soon sail on to our last harbor. We feel that we have given the very best we could give to our school but next year we will try all the harder to do our share. We have contributed to all branches of athletics and to all other school activities. We elected officers at the beginning of the year and they have proven to us that we were wise in our choice. Parties have not predominated this year as they have other years. We have grown up now and see the more serious side of school life. Shortly after school began we planned to have a wiener roast at Bill Reamis and to invite the football squad: but luck was against us, as it rained. We had a l-lallowe'en party and it was voted a real one by all present. Then came the important event in the life of a Junior. We ordered our rings, and my, weren't we proud the first time we wore them! We didn't get our sweaters until later, but one of l..ife's greatest moments was the first time we walked down the street proudly displaying our crimson W. l-l. Sfs on the backs of our sweaters. Our class play was a great success and it was presented to a full house. Our girls ushered and the rest of the class certainly showed the right spirit judging by the number of tickets they sold. We gave the Seniors a real fare- well at the banquet. We have enjoyed our Junior year more than we can say and are now looking forward to our last year and, we know, the best year of all.

The fact that we constitute a part of the beloved W. H. S. is an honor in itself. With much merriment, mingled with a little seriousness, we gathered for the purpose of electing officers. Phyllis Williams was elected President, John Damm, Vice President and Florence Huffman, treasurer. Not only, because it was the regular thing to do, did we convene for a wiener roast, but because all nature suggested the event. With an assort- ment of ghost stories and games, which are seldom absent from a wiener roast, we may say quite emphatically that all in all, the occasion was a success. Even though much enthusiasm was displayed towards the wiener roast, superior eagerness was evident in behalf of the approaching l-lallowe'en Party. It is sufficient to say that every expectation was awarded. The Sophomore class has contributed its bit in producing energetic players for both the boys' and girls' basket-ball teams. Cut elation l-:new no bounds when the girls' class team won the Silver Cup, awarded by the American Legion for the winners in the High School Class Tournament. ln all other activities the Sophomore class of 1926 has put forth supreme efforts. May we improve with wisdom. Esther Neely Twenty-+-iizlit SS RE CLA 0 OM SOPH FRESHMAN CLASS The Freshman class was organized the second day of school, with about eighty-six pupils. Virginia Auble was elected president, Harold Seiberling, Vice-president, and Corrine Longenecker, Secretary. Freshman Wiener Roast The Freshman Wiener roast was held the last of October. About forty- five were present. Two roaring fires were used to take care of the demand. We had a bit of close harmony by lVlr. Vvoodbridge, lVlr. Avery and Mr. Krabill. Indeed when we broke up to go home, it was fitting to say We had a fine time. Freshman Glee Club This organization was started with about thirty-five members. The Club chose Wanda Bain as President and Glen Hall as Secretary. Under the directorship of Mrs. Krabill and with lVlary Rood at the piano the Glee Club made a fine showing. Wayne Byer ll r FRESHMAN CLASS To the Flowers When flowers die and let their petals fall, The perfume vanishes into the air, Yet leaves behind the thought that after all The world was brightened with their beauty fair. Not only flowers with their fragrance sweet Have left in this dark world a phantasy. A dream half hidden in the life, too fleet, Of some small half forgotten memory. But in my dreary life l sometimes find A wisp of personality so rare, A shadow of a character behind. l wonder if in answer to some prayer The Fates install a flowery phantasy T lnto a mortal personality. Nellie Ray '26 The Storm The first glimpse of Dawn and everything hushed. l-lark! the birds are beginning to twitter in the trees. The sun is rising and rainbow hues appear. As the sun rises higher and higher into the beautiful heavens, flowers begin to wake and turn their pretty dew-covered faces to-ward the sun for warmth. Their fragrance is filling the air. But, in the west appears a grey bit of down and as it approaches the stillness is made ominous. The atmos- phere becomes heavier and heavier. More clouds appear and a breeze begins to rustle in the tree tops. Little by little the sun is hidden. A low rumble is heard, a flash of light is seen and then great drops of rain begin to fall. The wind, blowing harder and harder, whirls the rain as a great whirl-pool. The large drops have changed to smaller but the thunder continues to boom, the lightning to flash and the wind to blow. Then just as calmly as the storm had first approached so does it diminish. The leaves of the trees and the grass are no longer clothed in a parchecl green but in a beautiful bright shade. The flowers, freshened by the rain, nod their happy faces in the breeze and the birds again commence their chattering. Everything gives an impression of exquisite beauty and cleanliness. There is a beautiful song which we know as Every Cloud has a Silver Lining. l'low true this song is. If we will only look for the silver lining, happiness will surely be ours. The storm, we may compare to a tempermental cloud-burst. When it is over, the very atmosphere shows signs of relief. Madalene Rasor Anderton Thirty-two Literary A Criticism on Cooper's Last of the Mohicans The Last of the Mohicans is one of Cooper's best works, second only, perhaps to the Red Rover. His wonderful description, curious plot-weaving, and uncouth humor are at their best in this story. His weakness in the portrayal of woman is less noticeable than in his other works: his situations are less improbableg his portrayal of the Indian is at its best. ln this book are brought out more Indian and pioneer characteristics, more paternal and military feelingsg more lover's emotions, more depth of feeling, in general, than in any other book l have ever read. Personally, l believe this book to be the masterpiece of American literature. No one has ever combined so many characteristics, and types of humanity, as has Cooper in this story. After reading the so-called masterpieces of Shakespeare, Milton, and others, it is refreshing to read of crude, honest people, and of true, uncor- rupted environment. It is refreslting to read a work by an author whose very defects are his powers, whose mistakes endear him to his readersg and whose faithfulness to his ideal marks him as one of tlze few real men among authors. People love to read the works of a man of their own kind--one who falters, makes mistakes, but keeps on trying-one who realizes his limitations, but will not submit to them. Cooper's style puts his reader in direct sympathy and understanding with his story-characters far more than that of any other author in any country, or in any age. This is my sincere opinion: not said to cast a reflection upon the reputa- tion of any writer, neither to fill space, nor to disagree with my friends, or eminent critics. It is simply my honest, carefully arrived at, opinion. Edwin l... Parker How To Make a Senior Take a Freshman, fat or lean, just as long as he is green. l, myself, prefer the fatter But perhaps that doesn't matter. Carefully smooth out the dimples, Dash in French and other simples, And some old Egyptian lore, Then you'll have a Sophomore. Now take off his childish dresses, Straighten out his golden tresses, Add self-importance and some nerve, And as a Junior he ,will serve. Now put some down upon his lip, And give his hat a rakish tip, Roll down his trousers from the knee, And then a Senior he will be. Glada Myers '27 'l'l1ll'fY-Il1l'k'6 The Last Game Rah! rah! rah! Team! team! team! The loud cheers rolled down the bleachers to the sturdy men who were plodding their ways, in the slime and mud of the field, through the hardest game of the season. ln spite of the cold drizzling rain, many boosters had turned out to witness the last game, of a successful season of foot-ball. The team although they had worked hard, and had given their best efforts, were cold, and down-hearted. Their courage was at its lowest ebb. It seemed as though all luck had gone against them. The ball, wet with mud, slipped through their hands, making it impossible to carry it any distance. First on the I0 yard line, then soon the pigskin would be carried half way down the grid. Then the whistle-end of the third quarter-still the shadow of a !3-I3 tie hung over them. If only Captain Gordon could go in, just long enough to put the ball across the line, but he had been hurt in a previous game of the season, and Doctor's orders had been to stay out of the game. That seemed impossible to do in such a critical period as this, but in spite of everything, Gordon was happy and went around patting each fellow on the back, giving them words of encouragement. Then for the last quarter each man went in with renewed spirit. Fifteen yards to go, and Our ball, then time was called. Van, who had played quarter-back, was injured and had to be carried from the field. Our only hope now was Captain Gordon. Again loud cheering was heard, and Gordon's name was heard at the end of each cheer. Gordon was put in the game. He had courage and plenty of grit, and there were only a few more minutes of play. He must do his duty. i'Sig- nals!! Gordon was to carry the ball across, a line plunge, a forward pass, and he was through. But as he crossed the line a big fellow from the opposite team tackled him. Cordon went down in a heap, but he was across. Then the final kick off. The ball neatly sailed over the goal post. The whistle sounded, the game was over and they had won 20-l 3. The cheering mass of boosters, proud of the man who had saved the day, rushed madly onto the mud-plowed field and carried him off on their shoulders. Even in all their excitement they did not fail to remember other members of the team who had also done their duties. The sun breaking through the clouds as the throng left the field, seemed to make a fitting climax to a perfect day. Mildred R. Hunsicker Senior '26 The Little Things We toil day after day in the same monotonous routine, dreaming ever dreaming of our goal, of the great things which we hope sometime to perform. With our minds centered on this certain aim, are we giving earnest consideration to the things at hand? Too often do we give our entire at- tention to the big, the bright, the applauded things of life, in place of living the little things with diligence and concern. We must remember that the smaller acts which we execute repeatedly and inconsiderately are the ones by which our characters are determined. By committing one seemingly tiny mistake, the greatest thing which we might have achieved, may be destroyed. It is not difficult to be on one's guard in a great exploit, it is determining the fact that it requires many bricks to build the chimney, which adds to our esteem.

Q i cfm Extra Curricula The year 1925-26 was Wadsworth Higlfs banner year for activities out- side of the regular curriculum. These activities play an important part in our High School life and also give students with ability along these lines an op- portunity to get valuable experience to prepare themselves for society. These activities are as follows: Glee Club, Orchestra, Student Council, Debate teams, Hi-Y, Girl Reserves and National Honor Society. Several of these activities are new to Wadsworth l-ligh and we welcome their addition and will do our best to make them a success in our school. James Daykin Thirty-f Student Council The Student Council of the Wadsworth High School was organized October tenth, nineteen hundred twenty-five. It is composed of students elected from each class respectivelyg 5 Seniorsg 4 Juniors: 3 Sophomoresg 2 Freshmen. ln electing these students the student body used very good judgment. Superintendent Avery and Principal Kirk have found the group to be a fine body of co-workers that mean business. The Council has had eleven meetings this year in which we have tried and have succeeded with movements which would be for the betterment of the school in general. The first service was the management of the Annual Peppy Pep Party which went across big. This was our first step in backing Athletics. The second work of note was the management and presentment of 51,1 I5 Lecture Course. There is a profit of over fS50J fifty dollars, which goes into the Lecture Course fund. The Council has also chosen and engaged the course for the year 26-27. ln promoting student welfare in the school the Council helped to pro- mote the National Honor Society which stands for leadership, service, char- acter and scholarship. The Charter has been received and the emblems have been presented to the members of the Society. 'I'l1i1'ly -si x S Orchestra The High School Orchestra was one of the important organizations of our Extra Curricula this year. They played for numbers of the lecture course, Junior and Senior plays, C-lee Club concert, and several times in Chapel. Visiting companies of the lecture course complimented the work of the students. Their playing also pleased the people of Wadsworth who attended the lecture course numbers and class plays. Much credit for the showing made by the orchestra is due to Mr. Kirk and Floyd Prince. Mr. Kirk had charge of the orchestra and took care of all matters pertaining to practice and playing and he deserves much credit for giving us a well organized orchestra. Floyd Prince, of the Senior Class, acted as director during the year and no one could have handled the students of the orchestra in a more satisfactory manner. This year's orchestra was the largest to ever represent Wadsworth High and we hope that it will grow still larger and better as the years pass by. james Daykin Thirty-se x ll Glee Clubs ln the latter part of October a call was sent out from the main office for the organization of a boys' and girls' glee club. About fifty boys and eighty girls reported. As we had only one leader, Miss Swigart, it was impossible for so many to belong. An individual try out was given and some were dropped in this way. Still there were too many for the leader. To remedy this a division was made of the main club forming a Freshman Boys' and Girls' club making three clubs in all. The Freshman club was under the leadership of Mrs. Krabill. For six weeks the High School Glee clubs practiced hard for the concert given February 24th. A cantata was given by the girls and an operetta by the boys. Both were exceptionally good. A Legend of a Dandelion was the name of the girls' cantata. The stage was very prettily decorated to represent a garden. With the aid of the different colors of the dresses and the colored lights it was a very beautiful scene. The name of the operetta given by the boys was Double Crossed. This showed life in a boys' camp which was done exceptionally well. It made one feel as if one wanted to go to camp for a week. We will remember what a good looking girl Ross Shenlc made. We wish the Glee Clubs future success.

It was arranged that all schools should keep their negative team at home. .Affirmative team Negative team Virginia Auble Ruth Osburn Wanda Bain Edwin Parker Harold Corwin Earl Joachim Ford Coolman, Alternative Louis Lensch, Alternative The affirmative team, debating at Medina, did not win the judges' cle- cisiong but they did win the respect of their opponents. The outcome of the debate was uncertain until the judges' decision was announced. It was certainly a pleasure to hear the members of our negative team talk as they did. Debating team, we are proud of youl We also enjoyed Barberton's team, for they were fine and put up a good fight. The debate was very close and difficult to judge, but we think lVlr. Hallerbeck, a professor at Akron University, judged fairly. According to his way of deciding, Barberton lost by only a small margin. At the Chapel exercises on March l9, the members of both teams were awarded pins or ribbons for their good work.

Thirty peppy, alert, loyal boys reported. The team had as its foun- dation seven fighting, running, hitting veterans. They were: Jim Daykin, Captain and center. Jim is never licked. Bob Gersty, hard-hitting, full-back, with all his scrap and more, too. Horace, with his speed and loyalty held down half and end positions. jake Blough, small, gritty, wiry and speedy. Wade, backfield and endg never knows when to quit. Hutch, to worry all his foes. Paul Pollock, nobody gets through Paul. How, with these husky, true, he-men, could we have anything but a wonderful season-we could have and we did have. As a tribute to Wadeis stick-to-it, the team elected him Captain for l926. We feel proud of our team! Forty-five FOOTBALL W. H. S. 51g Rittman 0 Our first game of the season was played in our own back lot with Ritt- man. We won by the score of Sl to 0. Horace made the first touchdown by catching a pass from Bob. Capt. Daykin played especially well at center. W. H. S. 133 Kenmore 6 Our second game of the season was played with Kenmore at Kenmore. It was our first real game. We were out to cancel the defeat they gave us last year. At the end of the game the score was I3 to 6 with Wadsworth on the long end of the score. Bob made both touchdowns through tackle. A fumble paved the way for Kenmore's score. W. H. S. 03 Wooster 12 Wooster, our old jinx, came up to play on our field. We were out to win and break that jinx but Wooster proved too strong for us. Their line outweighed us quite a bit. Their first score came as the result of a fumble, but the second was bucked over. Bob was the big feature. Capt. Daykin's work was up to par. W. H. S. 265 Kent State 0 Our next game was with Kent State. After a hard week's practice we were ready to start out and win again. It was cold and difficult to hold the ball, but we took them over by a 26 to 0 score. Eddie Gerstenschlager who started, played a good game. Jake Blough also was a big factor. l-le started the scoring with a dropkick. W. H. S. 63 Orrville 35 We journeyed to Orrville to keep up our good work. We held them to I4 points the first half but we could not continue this in the second half. Our score came in the last quarter when Bob passed to Geisinger. W. H. S. '73 Kent Roosevelt 0 We went to Kent to play Roosevelt Hi. It was rainy most of the game but that didn't dampen our spirits. Our score resulted from a pass, Bob to Ceisinger who ran 20 yards for a touchdown. Blough kicked goal, while Capt. Daykin played his usual good game. W. H. S. 05 Medina 0 Playing in mud, Medina and W. H. S. fought to a scoreless tie. Though Wadsworth had the ball down to the one foot line they could not put it over. The ball was in lVledina's territory the majority of the game. Parmelee at end played well. W. H. S. 03 Cuyahoga Falls 46 We went to Cuyahoga Falls to beat them out of a few chicken dinners but we failed. They were too strong and we could not hold them. We held them scoreless the first quarter, but they won the game 46 to 0. W. H. S. 75 Barberton 0 One of our biggest rivals came over to keep up the work that they had started in the past years. We played in a sea of mud and many fumbles resulted, but the big event came in the second quarter. jake Blough picked up a punt and with perfect interference ran 60 yards through the whole Bar- berton team. He also added the extra point. Bob's punting was good. W. H. S. 03 St. Vincent 20 Our last game of the season was played with St. Vincent. Hutch, our big tackle, was out and this left a big hole. They won 20 to 0. Bob was hurt in the second quarter and had to be taken out of the game. Kindig played well at halfback making several long gains. Dick C-eisinger F4 'I W The Football Banquet During the late fall, soon after the veterans of Wadsworth High School had played their last football game, some one of the Senior class proposed that we give them all a banquet. All in favor of this banquet shouted chicken, chicken, to be the chief dish. It was finally decided that we would have tlie banquet, also that we would serve chicken. But, first the Whole football team had to promise that they would drag, carry or run our bashful Bob Gersty to that banquet before the Seniors would give them the banquet. Finally Bob promised to be present at the fateful event. Everything was planned carefully by our good instructor, Miss Erma Swigart, and the fateful night drew nigh. The best of the Senior girls lent their aid and cooked everything fine, and only Senior boys waited on table. This because some boys can't eat as fast or so much to their own comfort in front of a bevy of girls, expecially girls of the type we have in our Senior class. Before l wander any further l must mention something of the way the room and tables were decorated. The tables all had red and white table cloths to match the beautiful red and white carnations very willingly donated by Everhard, the Florist, through the untiring efforts of his beloved son Homer. The room had red and white drapes all over the ceiling with a football hung in the center of the room over the tables with a white twenty- five painted on it to designate the year although it was the class of twenty-six that were celebrating. Now for the eats, chicken, mashed potatoes and gravy, buns and butter, baked noodles, Cranberries, pumpkin pie with whipped cream and last of all after dinner mints. Ask Harrison if the chicken wasn't goodg ask Horace and Jim if the pie wasn't the best. Then ask Bob Gersty what he thought of the whole affair. After everyone had finished the table was cleared and speeches were in order, Coach Schmuck, Supt. Avery, Prin. Kirk and last but not least Captain Jim Daykin spoke. These speeches were all for the best with hearty applause at the end of each. The speeches finished the program after which good-nights and praises for the banquet were heard from all present. George Griesmer Five Rules of Sportsmanship l. The first rule of sportsmanship is courtesy to your opponentsg be a gentle- man or lady and treat your opponents as gentlemen or ladies. 2. The second rule of sportsmanship is to play the game according to the rules, play fair. 3. The third rule of sportsmanship is to abide by the decisions of the umpire or referee without remarks or heckling. 4. The fourth rule of sportsmanship is to be a courageous loser and not to lose heart when the score goes against you. Play your best to the end. Have grit. 5. The fifth rule of sportsmanship is to be a modest Winner. Not to boast of your victories or rub it in. Cheer your opponents. Spectators should appreciate the good plays of opponents as well as the home team. Show courtesy to opponents as well as support the team. Take pride in the spirit which the school exhibits. Where there is good sportsmanship between contestants it leads to friendship and not enmity. VVhen tha- Une llreut S1'01'f?l comts To write ziguillst your name, He writes not that you Won or lost, But how you played the game. Forty-sex t ll GIRLS' BASKETBALL Wadsworth High certainly is proud of her Girls' basket ball team, not that it has been victorious by winning every game, but because of the manner in which it has played. Like all teams the girls tried to come out on the winning end, but that isn't all they played for. It was for the sport, the physical and mental training they were able to get, by playing clean, like real sportsmen. ln the last quarter of a game even tho' they were being defeated, they would muster as much fight as if they were the victors. This spirit was partly due to the girls themselves and partly to the able and efficient coach, Mr. Kirk. Our games in which we lost in score Cbut not in battle, never caused our players to become discouraged and lay clown on the job. They were ready to fight for the Red and White to the finish. We are fortunate to be able to say that we will have all our members of the old team back next year except, Capt. Ruth Osburn and Della Yoder. May these two Seniors play the game of life as fair and hard as they played their athletic games. lf'm'ty'vig'l1l Basketball l 925-26 Our basketball season started with wonderful pep fight and skill Six veterans were back.

The teams as they now stand are: Girls-Mary Houglan, Capt., Doris Crumrine, Kathleen and Myra johnson and Evelyn Dick. The girls have two matches each with Barberton and Cuyahoga Falls. Boys-Edwin Parker, Capt., Hugh Hartzell, and Lee Hammond. The boys have two matches each with Barberton, Cuyahoga Falls and Hudson. On May 4th Cuyahoga Falls defeated Wadsworth boys and girls six matches to two. However, the stubborn resistance of our players made the Falls teams work for all they got. May Sth, Mr. Kirk took the girls over to Barberton to battle the Bar- herton lassies. The results were two matches to one in favor of Barberton. Fifty 1926 Base Ball Season With seven letter men to form the backbone of the team, the prospects are indeed bright for a winning nine this year. The letter men that reported to Coach Schmuclc were: Bob Gersty, Horace Mason, Dick C-eisinger, Jake Blough, Leonard Willis, Garland Chris- tian. These men form the battery and part of the infield. The new men that have shown promise are: Duane Calbetzor, john Damm, Ed. Gersty, Harry Cnuiley and Ross Shenk. This material together with Coach Schmuclis training will make a team that will be hard to stop. Wadsworth 6 Cuyahoga Falls 0 Wadsworth High Baseball team opened the l926 season at Cuyahoga Falls with a shut out. Charlie Christian twirled in fine form, allowing only three hits, while Mason and Calbetzor led in hitting. Wadsworth 8 Medina ll This game was lost due to the poor work of the Wadsworth infield. Mason and Blough were the heavy hitters. Wadsworth 5 Orrville 10 Local infield with 6 errors in the sixth inning were responsible for the locals defeat. Charlie Christian pitched well but had poor support. Wadsworth 6 Barberton 3 Wadsworth defeated Barberton 6-3 at A. C. field. Both teams played good ball, but the locals out hit and out-fielded Barberton. Charlie Chris- tain pitched a real game for Wadsworth, while Guiley starred in the field. Wadsworth 22 Medina 9 This was a real track meet for the locals. Wadsworth scored eleven runs in the fifth inning, and in the field gave Dick Geisinger almost perfect support. Garland Christian, Guiley, and Blough were Waclsworth's best hitters.

For a week all classes were busy getting things together to make this a success: but they all forgot to decorate their window except the Freshies who believe in advertising and making their product look attractive. l think you will be interested in knowing what we sold. Freshies did their best to sell the Uhot-dogs with plenty of mustard. Sophs had the candy fand plenty of it, including suckers dressed as dolls and balloons with Peppy Pep Party printed on them. The high and mighty Juniors next. They broke the traditional law of lemonade and pop corn but substituted ice cold pop and hot pop corn instead. Quite an idea. Now for the still higher and mightier Seniors. They rolled up their sleeves just the same and dug into the ice cream can. But we must say they were a little stingy with it. We certainly compliment the girls on their cake baking. At 7:45 prompt flVlr. Kirk and Mr. Avery are always prompt, came the best part in the program. All pupils and parents gathered in the audi- torium for a while. The orchestra opened with a bang. This orchestra of which we are all so proud, is led by Floyd Prince. Next on this memorable program was the Senior Sextet. This was composed of George' Griesmer and Joe, the brother of George, Kenneth Serfass, Horace Mason, Earl Joachim and Ross Shenk with Paul Pollock at the piano. The 3rd feature was a skit by Harold Corwin and Sam Griesrner. Leonard Thomas fwith Doris Crum- rine at the pianol played the Xylophone beautifully. Helen Hartman fthe school clownl next favored us with a reading in which Jimmy had an awful time and l know Helen was quite relieved when she got rid of him. The last number was a violin solo by Frances Hill with Ruth Macbeth at the piano. A big bonfire was the last feature of the evening and the crowd went home happy with stomachs full but pocketbooks thin. Eva Miller Fifty-tl11'ee Boys' Intramural Basketball Tourna- ment The boys' basket ball tournament opened with the Seniors playing the Juniors. This game was won by the Seniors without much trouble. ln the next game the Seniors played the Freshmen, who had defeated the Sophomores in the preliminary game. The first half was a battle royal, end- ing 6 to 5 in favor of Freshmen. After a slight change in the line up and new courage, the Seniors settled down to play real basketball and with perfect teamwork ran up the score to Z3 to I5 by the end of the game. Girls' Intramural Basket Ball Touuma- ment ln the first round of the girls' tourna- ment the Seniors succeeded in de- feating the juniors. ln the second round the Sophomores battled the Freshmen and won by a close score. The final was a game between the Seniors and Sophomores and was a very exciting game. The Seniors wore red, which is the signal of danger, and at the half the score was 5 to 6 with the Seniors leading. This made the Sophomores think the Seniors were wearing the right color. Even though the Seniors were one point ahead, the sophomores did not lose their pep, but it made them feel more like fighting. ln the last quarter the Sophomore's star forward, Julia Watts, made a basket and thus nosed out a victory. The American Legion showed its ap- preciation of clean athletics by pre- senting cups to the winners of the boys' and girls' tournament. The Sopho- more girls and Senior boys are proud to have won one third of the cup the first year. If i ft y - You 1' THE ALUMNI Wadsworth High School has been in existence just fifty years, the first class graduating from W. H. S. in l877. Classes have enlarged, and due to new vision, and community needs, three new courses have been introduced and proved a success. The class of '26 has a decided advantage over the class of '77. Instead of only the classical course, we,now have four. The courses are: the College Preparatory, having under it the Scientific and Classical course, and the Vocational having the English and Commercial courses. The first class to graduate numbered six, with only the classical course to follow. E. E. Henry was Superintendent at that time and Sadie l..ytle Principal.

B luffton, Ohio The class of '26 shows considerable increase there being fifty more members in the present class than there were in the first one, an average of an additional one each year. ln the class of '26 there are 22 members taking the Classical Course, 22 the Commercial Course, I0 the English Course and 2 the Scientific Course. The students selected these courses so that they might fit themselves for their life work. We are proud of the Alumni, many of them attaining honors asg States- men, Farmers, Merchants, Professors, Athletes and good Citizenship. The class of '26 stands staunch and true to her Alma Mater, although no truer than the classes of 'Ol and '77, twenty-five and fifty years ago.

And maybe that's the reason why one day he lost his head, And falling on his knees, he cried, Oh, maiden, wilt thou WED He may have thought this sudden, but it seemed not so to her, She lisped a quick acceptance and said forcibly, Yeth THUH. But when they went to housekeeping he feared that he would die: For oh, that modern maiden could neither bake nor FRI. She could not run a bungalow, or even run a flat. So on many sad occasions in a restaurant they SAT. But he forgave her everything as man has always done, When she presented him one day a bouncing baby SUN. 919 .

The first cars Dodge Brothers built established a world-wide reputation. The cars they are building today incorporate the ac- cumulated refinements of those ten intervening years. That important improvements in the comfort and appearance of the car are made from time to time, implies no basic departure from Dodge Brothers traditional policy of progressive rather than season- able development.

That you have reached the final green in this course with the score you have, is de- serving of the applause of the community, and in a way repays the faith your near and dear ones have in you. All the world is a stage, and in your play, Remember this from day to dayg By striving, serving as best you can, And giving a hand to a fellow man, By always practicing the golden rule, Is building yourself, your own charm school.
