Timid as ever a .freshman could be, I struggled against a fear That D's might dishonor my spotless name, And the school I held most dear. Since then three years have shadow'd my brow- Years, filled with joy and strifeg But the days I spent at Central were The happiest of my life! ' Gladys Fellabaum Nineteen-Seve-nteeu Purple and Gold-lVaite H igh School Waite The school that is richest in learning, The school that is fine and is great, Higher than all other high schools Is Waite. The school where the teachers are kindest, Patient with us early and late. Where the principal's the best inthe country ls Waite. The school that is iirst in athletics In all of the vast Buckeye state, Where they play a game fair, win or lose, Is Waite. Where the boys are honest and manly, And the girls are lovely and sweet, Where we all are happy together, ls Waite. .

We have tried to put into it the spirit, the deeds, the hopes of- dear old Waite, and, if you would find some fault, remember, we are only poor er- ring mortals after all. In this volume we wish to show our apprecia- tion of the work of our beloved teachers, to pre- serve fond memories for Dignified Seniors, to em- body the hopes of Aspiring Juniors, to form the dream of Sighing Sophsg to show Worthy Fresh- ies a glimpse of the joys of High School Life. And if you read the result of our labors with pleasure and commendation, we will feel indeed, as if our work was not in vain.

T0 THE CLASS OF '17 I Classmates of '17, my comrades dear, A happy word of greeting to you all! 'Tis but a meager way to show good will, But 'tis my best. How dare I hope to call Forth earnest resolutions with my verse? But I can hope to make you understand. My wish of life's best health to each of yo May Fate be kind and send a gen'rous store Of golden memories-a wealth to you- Remembrances of school day pleasures past. ug II I scarce can think our school days past and gone. Though now like pleasant dreams, they are no more, We stand, like Waifs-bewildered, faint and Weak- And tap in fear at life's unopened door Beyond' which lies the conflict that we seek. Courage, comrades, shall We falter now, Upon the verge of battle's din and heat? Shall We stop fighting, once we have learned how, Pause, but to sense the grimness of defeat To us, who have, in safety, come thus far? N ineteen-Seventeen Purple and Gold-Waite H igh School III Before the eaglet learns to float in air He first must test and train his feeble wingsg 'Tis ever true that great success doth lie In first accomplishing the simple things, The earnest efforts ever reap rewards. True, often the reward seems very small, Scarce worthy of the effort that it caused, But every deed accomplished brings to us A sense of power over him who paused, While opportunity knocked at his door. IV A The valid meanings of familiar words Become obscured by use, from year to year- Faith, courage, loyalty, unselfishness, Patience, and purity, for they appear To float, thin radiant bubbles, from our lips, Shiver, collapse, and vanish, each by each, And we blow other bubbles 'til we tire, Perverting action into idle speech, And shirking all responsibility. V. Thus let us learn the prayer that we should pray, A supplication blossoming into deeds, No servile cringing, but a pledge to use All we receive to meet life's varied needs- Muscle and sinew, nerve, and heart and brain, Each fiber braced to its proportionate power, ' Each faculty alive and glad and free To iight and grow and conquer, hour by hour, And let us ever dare to do and be!

Dear Dad and Mother: Your son is not such a bum after all. I have a piece of good news for you. I was elected chief physician at the hospital last even- ing and I regard that as the first leaf in my crown of laurels. Everything I have, everything I am, I owe to you both. No boy, with a heart, could disappoint two such dear parents as I have. I have labored, not always for my own gain, but in order to repay you for' your great 'love and help-money can never do it. There is one thing that mars my happiness, I am quite lonely. I have such a beautiful cozy apartment, and there are just Benton and I to enjoy the comfort of it. But, some day, at the right time, the right place, and the right girl, I shall marry. Until then, I remain, ' Your lonely boy, Kenneth. Thus wrote Dr. Kenneth Pierce, the most popular young man in fashionable circles. Indeed, it was time he was marrying, but he had seen no one, as yet, whom he wished to be his wife. . As he sat there reading the letter he had just written, he began to think of the many girls of his school days. There was Gladys and Marie, the inseparable, Esther and Luella, the sisters whom every one loved and esteemed for their truthful simplicity, Gracia, the an- gelic, motherly kind, Margaret, tender and sweet, Maude, who was always rough and readyg Wilhelmine, who sang her way into every one's heart, Leah with the soulful eyes-ah, indeed there were many. But above them all, shone a little face, with twinkling eyes and smiling lips. He moved restlessly as the thought of the smiling one came to him. fV'i7l8f667l-S6ll671-M6II Purple and Gold-lVai1'e High School ' l'55 At last he arose, put on his wraps, and went out to mail the letter. It was cool outside as there was a slight breeze. He walked down to the corner, and dropped the letter in the box. Just as he turned to go back, he heard some one yell, Fire! fire! help! From a second story window across the way, smoke began to roll out. Kenneth instantly sent a fire alarm and rushed back to the scene. By this time, smoke was pouring from all the windows. People ran 'here and there, weeping and wailing. Everyone is out, said some one close by him. But, no, look! Kenneth looked up and to his amazement, saw a girl, leaning from a fourth story window. I'll go! he said, under his breath as he threw off his coat and hat. Stand aside, please. That girl must not perish. He edged his way through the crowd toward the entrance of the building. At the door he hesitated a minute, as if to take on more strength, then with his head thrown back, his teeth tight together and his hands clenched, he rushed head-long through the black smoke and was soon lost from sight. The crowd below gasped in a fearful silence for a moment. The clang of the fire engines was heard. After what seemed ages to the eager watchers, two faces appeared at the window. A voluntary cheer arose, but died, as they saw the red flames and thick smoke dart from the building. To come down was death, to stay-heaven only knows what. If the fire department would only hurry and put up a ladder for them, was the thought of the whole crowd. Oh, how slow they were, those firemen, and those two precious souls looking eagerly from the high window and waiting for help. ' At last, a ladder was put up to the Window, and everyone held his breath as the man holding the girl in one strong arm, climbed out and came slowly downward. When he reached the pavement, the crowd surged forward, all wishing to get a glimpse of the hero. Tlliey saw a tall man, black with soot, holding the insensible form of t e gir . He carried her into the house across the street, where she was laid on a couch. ' Bring some water, please, brandy, too, if you have it, he com- manded in his usual hospital tone. She is just a little frightened, and will be alright soon. He dashed the cold water in her face and poured brandy between the pale lips. Her pulse grew stronger and soon she began to breathe heavily. I shall leave her here with you, he said to the -kind old lady at his side. She is sleeping now and her pulse is normal. I will be back, as soon as I clean up a little. The fire was now under control, so he went back to his apart- ments to rid himself of the dirt and soot. In a short time he re- turned to see his patient. 561 Nineteen.-Seventeen Purple and Gold-Waite High School The old lady had washed some of the black off the girl's face and smoothed her straggling hair back from her forehead. Kenneth looked at her, then suddenly grew deathly white. Can it be ? he muttered, as he bent over her. She moved a little and then opened her eyes. ' Her gaze fell directly on him, and as she looked, her eyes grew large in astonishment. V You! You here. She asked in a faint voice. Yes, Clarice, it is Kenneth, he said tenderly. She smiled resignedly, and dropped off to sleep again. She is an old friend of mine, he explained to the bystanders, An old schoolmatef' Mrs. Fitzgeralds ball, which was to be the chief social event of the season, was the talk of the town. It was to be the grandest affair ever given in aristocratic circles. Mrs. Van Hoesan had im- ported a Poiret creation from Paris for the occasiong Mrs. Reinhart would appear in the famous Reinhart pearls, Mr. Underwood, just returned from Europe, had brought his proud and beautiful wife a necklace of priceless emeralds and diamonds which she would wear, and of course, the Robson girls, such belles, would be there, looking as gorgeous as ever. Everything was humming in preparation for this great event. , The night arrived. The great hall was brilliant with a gorgeous array of flowers--tier upon tier of magnificent bloom, a sight well worth seeing. Here and there a marble statue stood amidst the Howers. Little fountains of scented water rippled musically. Soon the motors rolled up to the hall and the rooms began to filly there was a faint sound of music, a murmur of conversation and laughter. Dr. Pierce was there among the gay crowd. He was undeniably good-looking with an open nobility of feature which is uncommon enough among well-born and carefully-nurtured specimens of the human race. Tonight he looked singularly attractive, the more so, perhaps, because he was unconscious of it. Many an aspiring mother gazed at him with admiration and hopefulness in her heart. One might, indeed, be proud of such a handsome son-in-law with a rapidly growing practice. Even the daz- zling young belles, watched j ealously to see that one did not get ahead of the other in her acquaintance with Kenneth. f Where is Dr. Pierce, Mrs. Fitzgerald? I want him to meet my daughter, said a society mother. I saw him last with Miss Andrew, Mrs. Frost, they were going toward the garden. Oh, dear she said disappointedly, then as she walked away with her daughter, she added, He has spent most of the evening with the secretary of Mrs. Cheney. Yes, Mamma, he has dancedfour times with her already. I don't see why he is so c1'azy about her-the little insignificant thing. She is not a bit pretty, do you think so ? A7'i7I-0fC6'7lf-S6lf67lf86'fL Purple and Gold-lVa'ite H 'igh School I 57 No, indeed, she is not! ejaculated the mother. And why he prefers a poor ugly secretary to some of our rich daughters, is a puzzle to me. You wait here, Dorthea, I will go in search of him. She walked through the suites of rooms crowded with people, and through the conservatory. A pretty little bower, a perfect thicket of roses, caught her attention. She walked noiselessly on the green carpeted earth to the little garden where roses hung in thick profu- sion and the air was heavy with perfume. The moon shone brightly in the sky 3 its beams fell upon the fiowers, bathing them in floods of silver light. On the other side of the bower she heard voices, and half suspecting, leaned against the wall of sheltering roses to listen. But, Clarice, said a deep voice, It was not my fault. I never will forget March 27, 1917, at the Senior Prom. You shattered all my hopes then. I would have beaten Harold that night, if I had not been dressed up. And then they both laughed. He certainly was happy to think that he had robbed me of my girl. That was the first time I was jealous. And now-I am in despair. You can not put it off any longer, Clarice, you must give me your answer tonight. Should you refuse me, Clarice, I believe only death would be my solace. This was enough for Mrs. Frost. She hurried back to the house and circulated the terrible news that Dr. Pierce had proposed to the awful little secretary, and had thrown the great fortune and high social position of an heiress to the winds. A few days later the following letter was received by Mr. Pierce, Sr. Dear Dad: Prepare yourself for the worst. I, your obedient son, am to be married. My choice is the dearest, sweetest little girl on God's green earth. I suppose you remember her-my schoolmate, Clarice Andrew. Mother and yourself must surely come to the wedding. I will write you again soon, as I am too happy, just now, for any explanation. Tell all the boys that I am about to take the fatal step, and give my last love to all the girls. Hoping that you are as happy as I am, I remain Your happy son, Kennetli And thus, did Time weave the strands of Fate. DRUSILLA TANDY 'l7. 581 Nineteen-Seventeen.

The murmuring pines and the hemlocks, Bearded with moss, and in garments green, indistinct in the twilight, Stand like Druids of old, with voices sad and prophetic, Stand like harpers hoar, with beards that rest on their bosomsf' So sang the poet so dear to the heart of every Freshman. In somewhat the same terms we may speak of the aspect that confronted us when we, inexperienced and expectant, first took up the task of hewing down some of the mighty and ancient patriarchs of the Forest of Learning. When we reported and declared ourselves ready to begin we were assigned to a working base commonly known as Old Central, with a certain section of it designated by the term 40B as our headquarters proper. Here we found ourselves under the supervision of Head Boss Ward and a group of foremen under him. Over him were Division Superintendent Gayman and General Manager Guitteau. We were soon assigned by the various foremen to the tasks each of us was to do and set to work. At first the work, being new to us, bothered us a great deal and we approached it very awkwardly indeed. But soon we became accus- tomed to the situation and settled down to a steady routine, hacking and chopping away all day long with little to break the monotony. But one day a picked gang of men from Central and the neigh- boring headquarters at Scott were sent some miles to the northward to a place called Detroit for a sporting contest with a similar gang of men at that place. Our gang outdid the Detroiters and returned victorious. On their return some of those -who had remained at Cen- tral and Scott left their work and started to spread the glorious news broadcast. To leave our work without express permission was against the rules, so those who were found out, which by the way were in no Nineteen-Seventeen Purple and Gold-White H igh School I59 small number, were each presented with a small rectangular slip of paper, blue in color, and carrying with it a penalty for the offense. A short time later came our first pay day and everyone was ex- cited and eager to know what our foremen thought of our work, for we were not started at any fixed remuneration but with the under- standing that our checks would show the value of our labors. They came at last. Some were very good, some merely satisfactory, and some, sad to say, below standard. Many were incited to more ener4 getic endeavor so that their checks would show an increase at the next issue. - Just before checks were issued the second time each of us was given certain tests to bring out our real worth in a crisis. Special trees were pointed out to us and we were told to show what we could do. When we received our checks we found on them the rating we had been given by the foremen. Some found when they looked at their checks that they would have to repeat the work they had al- ready, done but most of us had done well enough to' be promoted to more advanced work. . And so things went. We passed through two more sessions like these first two, receiving our checks at the end of each and going through our tests at the end of the second as before. In this interval between the first and second test periods it was announced that our headquarters were to be changed at the beginning of the next year. Our new base of operations was to be at a place called Waite. One day we all took a day off and visited this new place to become ac- quainted With our new scene of operations. Finally 'our first year was over and we were released for a few months of vacation and rest from our labors. . At length we reassembled, this time at Waite, to begin new work. This time we were in division 64 under Head Boss Travis in- stead of Mr. Ward. Our labors were. not the only things that occupied us now. We were beginning to take more active part in sports of various kinds and to have social affairs now and then. By this time quite a rivalry had sprung up between the Waite and Scott divisions. This rivalry first appeared at a contest similar to that at Detroit the year before. A specially delegated gang visited Scott and gave their contestants a lesson in football which our rivals have not to this day forgotten. Then came the J Hop which some of us attended. There were more pay days and more tests and we began the second half of this year. Aha! Again we have taught Scott, and still again, both of these in the game known as basket ball. But we did not wish to discourage them so we allowed them to win in the two branches of sport we did not care so much about that year. And still we were teaching the Scottonians. We had a spelling bee and again vanquished our rivals. Q Nor were our energies confined to these channels alone. In the course of the year were given two Vaudeville Entertainments, a French play, and the light opera Pinafore - all with success but the latter being perhaps the most brilliant of these dramatic attempts. And so passed another year. We received our checks regularly and at the end of the year those who had kept their Work up to cer- 60 1 Nineteen-Serefzieen Purple and Gold-Wa-ite High School tain high standards were awarded gold, silver, or bronze medals in recognition of their endeavors. This was a very excellent year in all respects to start with in new headquarters. Once more we were moved, this time to division 126 under Boss Mathias and we set out on our third year. We were confronted by denser portions of the Forest than we had met with at any time hitherto. We found underbrush of all kinds and once through that, -perceived that we had not been conscious formerly of what really big trees were. But we hacked and sawed and gradually 'ate our way through and had time for a few other things besides. Our foot- ballers again met Scott but they must have seen us coming for we left the premises a bedraggled and down-trodden set. Again some of us attended the Hop but not in such high spirits as a year before. But at length some of us recovered and, influenced by a tendency toward levity, cheered the rest of us with another Vaudeville Enter- tainment which was pronounced a success. Checks and tests again. Alas, some of us had not prospered so well as before but for the most part we advanced in an unbroken body. And now we proceeded to go after Scott. Revenge is sweet and we obtained it in basket ball-twice. But we had not learned to run as fast as they so we let them take this branch of sport. But we out based them in base ball and so evened things up. We again became high spirited and indulged in another Vaude- ville Show. And then one of our organizations which had been hav- ing a good deal of luck presented us with a generous portion of it. Now came Erminie, another light opera. It was pronounced a grand success despite some small mishaps, and since these mishaps were our first offense of this nature we could Prove an alibi. . Tests were again over and medals awarded and we left for au- other vacation. We came together once more. We had passed through three years of hard work and at the same time much pleasure and were now on the fourth and last year. We were again in division 126 with the same Mr. Mathias in charge. Now, however, we had taken on that sober and dignified mien that bespeaks experience and authority. We had assumed more responsibilities. We elected for the year. We had reached the age at which we were considered capable of managing the Retina, the monthly chronicle of our doings and our year-book, the Purple and Gold. Our football aggregation was not defeated but swamped by Scott, but since Scott became champions of all this part of our country we consider this no dishonor. We gave a most unusual and elaborate entertainment in the Roman Saturnalian Festival and made a success of it. We went through our tests, drew our checks, and started on the final spurt or home stretch of our career at Waite. We were assigned to new tasks or told to proceed further with the old ones for the last time. Our labors have been heavy but we have been concerned in so many other things that we have 'scarcely had time to attend to the felling of trees of the Forest of Learning. We gave a 'street fair or carnival combined with a reception to parents and a basket-ball contest with a group of those who had fin- Nineteen-Seventeen. Purple and Gold-Waite High School fill ished and gone on ahead of us. We won the game from them and from that time on our team strove for championship honors. They attained them and left a basket-ball record such as no predecessors had left. Another Vaudeville Entertainment has been given sur- passing all others in quality-and length. The Senior Promenade, the most brilliant social function of the year was enjoyed by many. And now we are nearing the end of our pleasant even though some- what laborious life here. Soon we will have received our parchment and been sent out to face the world. We can see ahead the day when all the joys and troubles we have gone through together here will be at an end. We have striven against difficulties. We have pushed obstacles aside. We have con- quered mighty monarchs of the Forest of Learning. And now we are about to leave these things behind to try our luck with the bigger things of life in its reality: greater troubles, perhaps, and greater pleasuresg greater barriers to overcome, greater situations to master. Some are destined to go on into higher education and others are not. It is as if we have been in a dream and are awakening. These things, however, unlike most dreams, will remain with us and inspire us as we go on through the years to come to higher aims and more earnest endeavor. May we, as we are borne along on the tide of life, be ever pos- sessed of that Waite spirit, Not tangible, not visible, not audible, but yet a something within us that will urge us on and impel us to exert our greatest efforts to do honor to ourselves, to Waite, and to this, the Class of Nineteen Hundred and Seventeen. By Kenneth Pearson '17 ? l I l w V I I I l E l 621 Nineteen-Seventeen Purple and Gold-lVa'ite High School I was leisurely dozing in a great armchair in the lobby of the Oxford Inn, London, one August afternoon, thinking of the bygone days at Waite, when I was suddenly startled from my revery by hear- ing my name called. The clerk asked if I were the war correspondent of the New York Herald. Upon my affirmation he gave me a message which he said had been received at the wireless station at Plymouth. I was commanded to go to Edinburgh at once and await further orders there. I found that obtaining transportation to Edinburgh was no easy task with both boat and train service crippled, but upon presenting my credentials to the aerial commander of the army, how- ever, I obtained permission to ride with the aviator who took the even- ing reports to Edinburgh. He was scheduled to leave at four o'clock that same day, so I hurriedly packed my belongings, preparatory to my long aerial flight. Arriving at the field a few minutes before four, I had a little time to get acquainted with the driver and to strap myself in the Plane. We soon left London far below us, and then far behind us. Now, I was to have the opportunity of my life, reporting war news. My imagination took wonderful leaps. As a successful reporter my name was widely pronounced in all American Newspapers. With my thoughts in the trenches on blood stained fields of Europe, I was gradually lulled asleep by the constant hum and purr of the motors. Suddenly I was awakened by a forward lurch. Looking about in amazement I asked the d1'iver where we were and what the matter was. He calmly informed me that we were caught in a brisk west gale and had been taken far out of our course, and to top the matter we were forced to land because of a broken propeller bladej The Englishman also told me that the propeller had to be repaired before we could again resume our flight. I-Ie thought that we were some- where in western Scotland as we had been driven ac1'oss the Solway about a half hour since. Nineteen-Seventeen Purple and Gold-Waite High School IG3 With a long journey still before us, I thought it a good idea to stretch my cramped legs. Consulting my watch I found it to be about midnight, nevertheless I then started out on a tramp. The low jagged hills stood out sharply in the moonlight. We had landed on a flat just between two rugged hills whose sides were like perpendicular cliffs. It was along the foot of one of these that I began my walk. Pacing briskly back and forth, I noticed a dull light to my left coming apparently from the side of the cliff. Wondering who could be there that time of the night, I walked over to investigate. It proved to be the mouth of a cave. Strange shadows moved about a cauldron over an open fire in the center. Upon close scrutiny, these shadows took the forms of three weird witches. Their strange chants and songs were hardly audible and gave me a feeling of dread. Lis- tening intently I heard these words: Fair is foul, and foul is fair, Hover thru the dark and filthy air. Gad! I exclaimed, they must be the weird sisters spoken of in Macbeth. One of the number overhearing me exclaimed: H By the pricking of my thumbs, Something wicked this way comes: Open locks ' Whoever knocks! Considering myself addressed I stooped to enter and knocked upon the side of the cliff. Remembering some verses of Macbeth from my rigid training at school I decided to utilize them and replied with a kingly air: How now, you secret, black, and midnight hags, What is it you do ? A Immediately with one accord they answered in thin voices: We reveal the futures of mortal man. Recalling other lines of Macbeth I cried: If you can look into the seeds of time, And say which grain will grow and which will not, Speak then to me, who neither beg nor fear Your favours nor your hate. - I long to know of you, of each career For those grand old classmates of mine at Waite. Say if thou'd'st rather hear it from our mouths, or from ou1' masters, they replied. Call 'emg let me see 'em, I then declared. Making weird motions the first witch then spoke: Round about the cauldron throw In the poisoned entrails throw Boil them now in the charmed pot, Come, high or low, Thyself and office deftly show. Then altogether, as they crowded around the cauldron, sang: Double, double toil and trouble, Fire burn and cauldron bubble. 641 LVITLOf83I1f-SBIJBTZIEBII Purple and Gold-lVa:iz'e High School Slowly a reddish vapor arose from the cauldron, I drew back and watched it closely and in the midst I could see the exterior of a barber shop. The name on the door was Charles Shaver. Thru the large plate glass I could see that my old friend Chuck employed two lady barbers, Ruth Wege and Esther Prottengeier. The latter was sham- pooing thebald head of a stylishly dressed gentleman whom I recog- nized as William Van Gorder. Slowly the scene faded and another took its place. It was the Washington Monument. Some person was crawling down the outside of the marble monument. A closer view revealed the Human Fly, Hyginus Weaver. In a limousine standing in the drive was a richly attired lady, Marie Swinger, who divided her, attention between the Human Fly and her French poodle. Just before the limousine drove away I noticed the monogram of H. J. on the door and I knew that her husband must be Herbert Jorris and also must be a successful business man. This scene gave Way to a movie screen upon which was reflected the name of the picture, The End of the Aeronautical Nuts. The first scene showed a large balloon. In the basket I could see Clifford Kinney, Herman Brigham and Harold Wittman. The baloon ascended and when nearly out of the sight changed to a mass of smoke, with the explosion the picture ended. The vapor had almost disappeared when the second of the witches shuffled over to stir the fire. Its glow increased, dimly lighting the solemn cavern. With a cracked voice she uttered these words: Fillet of a fenny snake, In the cauldron boil and bake. After the charm had been added a bright green vapor arose in which appeared a busy city street. Four autos, driven by Madeline Elwell, Laura Christman, Marie Binley and Pearl Mortemore came down the street. Upon the sides of each was a sign saying, Harold Patterson's Seeing Toledo Trips. The scene faded into a beautiful tropical landscape. In the far background was a tent upon which was painted, The Basey-Fuire Mission. In the foreground in the shade of a few tall palms was a congregation of people. They proved to be blacks surrounding two white people whom I recognized as Annie Cordill and Amy Coy. The latter began to sing from a book and I noticed to their dismay the poor blacks were thrown into great fright and confusion. I could not help thinking that the negroes would rather have the hymns read than sung. As the tropical landscape faded away a different scene ap- peared. At first I thought I saw a tombstone, but this is the inscrip- tion that I read: LUMBERMEN'S EXCHANGE. A t Directory Gladys Fellabaum .....,................ Wholesaler in Toothpicks Harold Underwood .................... Wholesaler in Telegraph poles Margaret Stump ........................ Wholesaler in Kindling The marble tablet gradually changed to the title page of a book. With some surprise I read Advice to Young Men, the greatest book ever written by Drusilla Tandy. The book was published by the Conklin-Shanteau Publishing Company of Point Place. Nineteen-Seventeen Purple and Gold-Waite High School I 65 By this time the vapor had almost become invisible, so that the third witch poked her knotty stick into the fire and while passing her hand over the cauldron said aloud: Adder's fork and blind-worm's sting, For a charm of powerful trouble Like a hell-broth boil and bubble. . A thick vapor arose with a brilliant yellow color which clearly gave up its story. It was a theater program from which I read: E. Sz E. HITCHCOCICS VAUDEVILLE Program A. The Versatile Vocalists, Margaret Minneker, Marion Ross and Leona Kerstetter. B. The Fascinating Widow, Staring Ursula Wenzler, Leah Feak, . Alan Shepherst and Jimmy Doyle. C. The Abnormal Wonder, Van Hoeson playing two cornets at the same time. D. Sparrows on a Wire, Gracia Vermaas, Anna Chappius, Alice Warner. Only tight rope walkers not killed in war. E. Sam Edelman, the comedian playing the Jews' Harp. F. Nellie Kievit, the only bearded woman in this show. This star cast is supported by the great German American Brass Button Band of Temperance Michigan, including Hazel Geiner, mouth organ, Gertrude Rauch, fiddle, Myrtle Plumadore, banjo, Paul Hull, mouth organ, Lewis McClure, bass drum, and Earl Roper, snare drum. As the last name on the' program disappeared it was a great relief to know that the orchestra was not there in person, for if it had been perhaps I should never have lived to learn the rest of this prophecy. ' But as it was, the slowly fading vapor submitted one more scene. It was a push-cart propelled by Beatrice Gillham and Geraldine Brun- ing. Upon the sides of the cart were painted, Sandwiches, Hot Dog and Burg. Pleiss's Candies and E. Hades cold ice cream. Now I noticed that the first witch with weird actions performed some mystic ceremony over the magic cauldron and ended by saying: Double, double toil and trouble, Fire burn and cauldron bubble. A brilliant lavender vapor slowly came at the witch's bidding. The first vision astonished me greatly. It was a huge factory which reminded me of the Overland at home. A towering smoke stack re- vealed the names Rudolph-Strittmatter Co. Hairpins. Next appeared a busy street in Toledo where I saw a restaurant bearing the name of Clarice Anderson. Looking thru the window at the victims, I saw Kenneth Pearson in the garb of a waiter. QI always knew that Kenny would wait for Clarice anyhow.J A few doors from the lunch room was a store belonging to Bromain Sherman and Harold Knisel. The interior of the store next appeared and the stock on the shelves passed before my eyes like a Labor Day Parade. Then 'suddenly the procession stopped. A bottle was in view which gave me a shiver for I thought it said castor oil, but no, the label read-Dr. Herringshaw's Fish Oil, a sure cure for love-sickness. 66l Nineteen-Seventeen Purple and Gold-Waite High Sclwol What next appeared surely looked like a sewing circle. In the center was Paul Fingerhuth busily working with the other members. Some were darning socks, some were sewing upon dresses. I recog- nized Courtland Riddle, Robert Tucker, Carl McCabe, Carl Fuhrer, Pauline Utz, Donald Kotts and Donal Pheley. In the background were a number of women lined up as in a suffragette parade, carry- ing different banners. They pointed their fingers in scorn at the aforesaid gentlemen who no doubt were their husbands. Here too I recognized some of my classmates, Maude Werner, Zelma Watkins, Wilhelmine Robson, Donelda Schick, Lucile Rogers, Gladys Scharbach and Esther Wordon. By this time the lavender mist had cleared away and I could see the witches huddled upon one side of the cavern. This is not all, I said, Why do you sit there? Show me more. The second witch starting up exclaimed: We will not be commanded, here's another more potent than the first! As the witch slunk away, the boiling cauldron again revealed its prophecy, this time in a blue vapor. Gazing fixedly, a newspaper appeared., It was the Chicago Daily Tribune-America's greatest newspaper. On the staE I recognized the names: Chalmer Dyer, Bruce Reinhart, Harold Robinson and David Voss. As the pages of the paper were slowly turned a few cleverly worded advertisements drew my attention. The first was': McBride's Matrimonial Bureau. We have competent agents. Our motto is: Helen can easily Ketcham, but it takes Frank to Roper. The second ad began something like this: A Before they Steele your Wallett, Reed this ad. I did not complete reading for I knew that Willard, Beatrice and Thelma certainly would constitute a good 'detective bureau. I quickly thought of Louise and Howard when I read: After the theater try our Bitter-Sweet. Still another ad read: Wai Lim German Tea Room. Next door to the Leech-Bird Store. Just as the last page of the paper was fading away I caught the words: The Dixon-Lee Co. Real Estate Auctioneers. The next scene convinced me of the vanity of this wicked world. It was the interior of a dancing school. Claudine Agler was trying to teach Tubby Roush, Harold Pickens and Calvin Higbie the art of toe dancing. With a shudder at the possibility at t S' I was consoled to see Amelia Bodenmiller preaching from a pulpit in a small country church. In the following visions a row of stores on Water Street in Toledo, appeared. The first disclosed Esther and Luella Beck in a fiorist shop. They were artistically arranging some gorgeous sun- flowers and dandelions around a wooden bushel basket. The second proved to be a shoe store in which the clerks Bert Ayers and Joyce Canright were busily occupied. The third revealed a Ford Salesroom where Frank Pore was using his mentality in trying to sell a Henry to Margarit Flaherty. The next place of business was Merkles Junk- Nineteen.-Seventeen Purple and Gold-Waite High School I 67 yard. A wagon loaded with papers and bags of rags was driven into the yard. Upon closer scrutiny I recognized Rollin Nagle with a tin horn in his hand. He was imbedded in a heavy Hebrew Beard which made it difficult to recognize him. The blue vapor now being dissolved, the third witch came for- ward saying: Pour in sow's blood, that hath eaten Her mine farrowg grease that's sweaten From the murderer's gibbet throw U, Into the flame. At the end of her ceremony a white mist arose and I expectantly leaned forward to see what it would reveal. With some surprise I saw a group of people standing on a street corner playing different instruments and singing. They proved to be a Salvation Army. Standing in a circle about the leader, Laura Nichoson, were Gladys Bowland, mth Curtis, Elmer Edenburn, Gladys Glass, William Fitz- gerald and' eatrice Holland. The next scene was a 1'ural landscape. A great harvester was working close to a huge barn. Mervin Huston was directing a number of laborers in their operations. Closely fol- lowing his instructions were Clara Byers, Velma Hoffman, and Ruth Mathews. Refiecting I found that I had heard of all my classmates. With a start I suddenly realized that I had seen nothing of myself. Just then the third witch spoke: I know thy thoughtg Watch this vision, but say thou naught. In the thin vapor I could see a railroad track. A hand car had just stopped and I myself stepped off, with a shovel and pick over my shoulder. I was walking toward an old box car shack. The door suddenly opened and about a dozen children came flocking toward me I could almost hear them crying Daddy, Straining my eyes I tried to see within the house, but I found myself staring into the witch's wrinkled face. Seek to know no more, were their parting words. They dis- appeared into the gloom. The cauldron also vanished. Lighting my electric torch at last I found my way out. I hur- ried to the place where our plane had landed. but found nothing there except a note pinned upon a stick fastened in the ground. It said that time was valuable, that I was but fifty miles from Edinburgh and would be able to get there on foot. Luckily, the gray sky told me it was almost dawn. After roaming about for some time I came to a small village. Making my way to the only inn, I found that I could, get thru transportation to Edinburgh in two days. It was the only alternative, so I was obliged to wait. At Edinburgh I found two telegrams. Opening the first I read: See Mr. Brown at once in regard to passports and mission. Opening the second I read: Too late. You are canned. We want a live wire, not a dead one. With my doom still passing before my eyes I bent my steps toward the American Steamship Co. My mind wandered across the ocean and my sick heart was consoled by the thoughts of a box car home and many little cares.

It is very fortunate that a high school can boast of such an organization, for it is a medium through which we can keep in touch with friends of our high school days. It was shown at the get-together meeting, held December 27, that although the former students are scattered far and wide, loyalty to Waite is still firmly embedded in the hearts of those who have had the privilege of being counted among the graduates of Old Waite. The association has a membership of nearly three hundred and, with the graduates of '17, the number should be increased to nearly four hundred and fifty. As each successive class joins the ranks of the association, it must needs become more powerful, and it is hoped that in many ways the Old Grads, thru the association, will be able to render assistance in making their alma mater one of the best that can be found in the country. Some definite action toward this end will be taken at the next banquet, December 27, 1917.

It was under the able guidance of Miss Gibson that they made a successful beginning. Later Miss Spayd lent invaluable assistance which enabled the society to keep up its- standard. The name was changed in a few years to the Zetalethean Literary Society. When the society moved over the river to Central High, there was a trying year of reorganization, but when iinally settled at Waite, success was reached. Each year has added to the growth of the society, until at the present time it is one of the strongest organizations of the school, having about seventy members. Various subjects are taken for study, such as the development of the drama, present-day writers, our contemporary authors, the modern short story, musical composers. At times plays are given, and once a year it is the custom to give an open meeting, at which everyone is invited to attend. - The girls' work is on their own initiative, merely receiving sug- gestions and voluntary help from the critics. Their motto is: Nihil sine labore, and they have lived up to it. During the year various social functions are given, spreads, theater parties, the season ending up with a luncheon, Where the active and honorary members and critics meet with the alumni for a final good time. With, the greatest hopes of success the society looks forward to the future, and those who graduate can look back upon their society as one of the most enjoyable features of their high school life.

Among the members of the Forum are many men who will long be remembered for participating in all branches of athletics, as well as doing creditable work in their studies. When first organized, debating was introduced into the society, and this has ever since been a source of much pleasure to the students. During the last year such subjects as The Struggle in Europe, The Trouble With Mexico, and the many bills before Congress were debated upon. And in each of these debates the members showed their desire to help further the interest in the society. Social events of all kinds have been enjoyed, and the Forum supporters were ever Willing to do their share and help these events along. This spirit was shown in the masked ball, given in the refectory, the carnival and other occasions. So the social side has been developed, but not to the detriment of the work of the society. The aim of a literary society must always be the betterment of its members as public speakers, and this, we are glad to say, is being accomplished by the Forum. And we hope that in later years the Forum will win a high place among the literary societies of the best and only school-Waite High.

At first there were o11ly seventeen members, but the society grew steadily from year to year, until now it has a flourishing membership in both Scott and Waite High Schools. The division of the society came when Scott High opened in 1913, and those attending that school formed the Alpha Chapte1'. With the opening of Waite High the Beta Chapter resumed the regular literary work, until now, after three years, they have a memberhsip of over seventy young ladies. It is the custom for the two branches to hold a joint meeting at least once a year. These meetings always prove interesting because of the friendly rivalry between the girls. The programs during the last year have been very instructive, as well as interesting. They are composed of orations, debates, with Know and then? an occasional play. During the school year the girls enjoy the many social functions of the society. From time to time spreads and theatre parties are arrangedg formal and informal dances are given, and in June a fare- well party for the departing Seniors is given. During the Christmas vacation the annual banquet is enjoyed with the Scott branch. It has always been the desi1'e and ambition of the girls of the society to faithfully live up to their motto, Second to None. This the girls have accomplished, but only through their own endeavors, as they work entirely without a director. Nineteen-Seventeen.

It is composed of zealous members who are Working for the interests of their society, their school and themselves. When this society was organized, the founders pledged themselves to make it a success in every way. From the society those having vocal talent were selected and, under Mr. Van Cleve's tutorship, they have pre- sented several excellent demonstrations of their ability. The weekly meetings have been conducted in a capable manner, with debates and discussions of current events, always keeping things moving. The membership committee is a lively one. The society can now boast of about seventy-five active members. The Quill and Dagger Society is noted for its athletic and scholastic standing. It supports a mandolin club, several excellent debating teams, a glee club, and a dramatic club. The members of the society are chosen from the entire school and not merely from upper class men, which guarantees a long lived, successful organization, one which promises to make Waite famous. Nineteen-Seventeen Purple and Gold-Waite H-igh. School I 125 Student Council The Student Council has again been organized to boost things for Waite. For the benefit of those unacquainted with the organiza- tion it might be well to state briefly the origin and purpose of the Student Council and of whom it consists. Two years ago Mr. Gayman started this organization. Its members consist of the ofiicers of each organized class, representatives of the other classes, the officers of the four literary societies and every club in Waite High School. It is a great factor in uniting the school in common bonds of interest. Members of the Council are as follows: Senior Class-James Doyle, Leah Feak, Clarice Anderson, Donald Herringshaw, Frank Roush. Junior Class-Clarke Pittenger, Helen Packer, Helen Johnson, Mercer Hade, Charles Trout. Sophomore Class-Robert Baker, Robert Rogers, Richard Gillham, William Aderman, Merle Bolton, Helen Clarke, Doris Brown, June Cable.

At the close of the first two years nearly all of the advanced members had left school, leaving' for the year 1917 only one of the original members, under whose leadership a new club was formed with new members. Most of these members had no experience in radio work. But from this fresh material wonders were wrought. The apparatus was altered and improved and records made in long distance work that were thought impossible, such as Buffalo, N. Y., Columbus, O., Fort Wayne, Ind., Jefferson City, Mo., and Saginaw, Mich. On January 5 an exhibition of wireless and high frequency cur- rents was given in the wireless room. Enough money was realized from this to pay for the high frequency apparatus, which was made by the members of the club, and help defray last year's annual debt. The following members have become skilled enough in the opera- tion of wireless apparatus to entitle them to government licenses: Walter Goorley, Russell Talbot, Russell Flora, Clark White, Howard Kerstetter and Sam Featherstone. And all these gratifying results were accomplished in nine months by an entirely new club.

Many speakers were obtained, such as Dr. Panian, Prof. Rex Wells, Mr. Klag, and Dr. Hall. The good record of the club was due to the help of Mr. Gregg, Mr. Dulmage, Mr. Abbot and Mr. Warr. A variety of topics were discussed under the leadership of Mr. Warr. The pur- pose of the club is to stand back of the things which Waite High School stands for. 128 1 Nineteen-Seventeen Purple and Gold-Waite High School Mr. Carl Toepfer ....... Marie Binley .........

Twice a month, regularly, have the members met under the excellent leadership of Fraulein Fenneberg and Herr Toepfer, and their command, Sprechen sie nur Deutsch has been cheerfully obeyed by the aforesaid leaders. The other members have obeyed the decree more or less uncomplain- ingly, and when lapses into English have occurred, said members have grinningly paid the fines imposed.

Unique games similar to the English authors were carried on, the French language being the medium of conversation. French songs were pleasingly executed on different occasions. Several delightful social affairs were also enjoyed. The organization was of great assistance in familiarizing its members with the French langauge, as well as being a source of much pleasure to those attending. To these meetings were admitted all who had had one year of French and a few of the first year French pupils whose A's entitled them to membership.

The courses of study are more interesting, and the social times more pleasing. Each one may choose one of the five classes for study. They are: Bible Stories, and How to Tell Them, South America, Lives Worth Living, Christian Citizenship for Girls, and Life of Christ. They are all interesting courses and there are competent teachers in charge. Once a month social service talks are given. Probably the ones enjoyed most were those given by Miss Ashley, who is head of the Red Cross Work in Toledo, and a Red' Cross nurse. But the girls also have many social times. They have had two hikes, three parties fone given to us by the Scott Friendship Clubj, roller skating parties, etc. Waite has always had fewer members than Scott in their friend- ship club, but this year we had just a very few, if any, less than their number. Besides aiming to increase our membership greatly next year, we also hope to keep up our purpose, to promote as Christian standards of living, honor, cheerfulness, friendliness and helpfulness, in home, school and social life, and to aid each girl to realize her best self. 132 1 Nineteen-Seventeen Purple and Gold-Waite High School N t S t P pl nd Gold-Waite High School I 133 flT 'lIf '-5 W3 3 .4f QQ J ' ff RSWYQFCHJC i ffQ CH0LASTjgGO lm 7 S5 hy' Q M mf 276 N , 'ii . .X f Aflnli xjx ihqb X CUNSQLATHU X K X X X Tug. 12-ll Aznetcen Sezenteen Purple and Gold-Waite High School Faculty Manager Hiss. In order to make successful ath- letics possible in a school, they must be heartily supported by the faculty, and it is necessary that there be a faculty manager who is interested in the boys, and willing to do his best for them. We are sure Mr. Hiss filled the bill. He was in charge 01 football and of basketball, until after the game with Stivers. At this time, he considered it necessary to resign. We are sorry to lose Mr. Hiss as fac- ulty manager, and wish him the greatest of success in his future life. Faculty Manager Moore. When Mr. Hiss handed in his resignation, Mr. Moore was appointed his successor. Mr. Moore has had previous experience as a faculty man- ager, and quickly fell into line in his new position. He had charge of the basketball team at Chicago, and han- dled everything in firstclass shape. Mr. Moore was also of great assist- ance in arranging a schedule for the baseball team. Nineteen-Seventeen Purple and Gold-Wa.-ite High School 30 Bill Wright. The one great worry connected with Waite High athletics has been the matter of proper foot- ball coaching. For the present these are at an end. Bill Wright, former coach of the Toledo High School team, and our coach two years ago, has agreed to return to Waite, and take up the duties of a football coach. We are all acquainted with Bill and know what he can do. He stands for keen rivalry and good sportsmanship, and returns to Waite under the condition that the bitter feeling between the two high schools comes to an end.

Waite High secured the services of Paul Mason as physical director and football coach. Mason is a letter man from Purdue, and knows all the fine points of the game, especially those concerning the line. He is very popular with the players, and they willingly give him their best efforts. We wish Mason the greatest success in athletics and in any line of business he may take up. Coach Fluhrer. As soon as Jack Fluhrer was free to leave the Iron Men at the end of the baseball season, he came to Waite High and took charge of the backfield. Fluhrer seemed to put new life into the team, and even injected more pep into the scrubs. At present Fluhrer is making good as a professional baseball player, giving promise of being a big leaguer in the near future. F' EY Ni-neteen-Seventeen Purple and Gold-Waifc High School 139 Coach Keller. Ted Keller, captain of the 1915 Waite High football team, had charge of the reserve squad. Ted usually had the scrubs scrapping, and was responsible for their good showing against the nearby towns. We wish success to Keller, and if he is not with us next year, we hope to see him become famous as an athlete or in business. loads of good fortune. Fillup Clemens. Much of the success of our team was due to the splendid work of our student manager, Phil Clemens. Phil was always on the job. He at- tended to the advertising, and saw to it that the players were well supplied with the necessaries of football. Phil dropped the job at the beginning of the basketball season. Cal Higbie. Phil Clemens had an able assistant in Calvin Higbie. Cal arranged a schedule for the Re serves, and kept the Waite field in playing Condi tion. Cal graduates this year, and we wish him '-9 140 N meteen iSe1wenteen Purple and Gold-Waite High School Cy Foster. This year's captain was Merrill Foster. He was the right sort of a man to have at the head of a team-cool-headed and always fighting. Merrill started out in the backfield, but because of the wealth of material in this department, he was shifted to the line. Cy always worked hard and was usually the first man to report for prac- tice. We have Foster with us again next season. Tea,' Young. Number thirteen, husky, tackles hard, a brick wall on the defensive. This is the impression formed by those unfortunate humans who had to play against our future captain, Tea Young. Tea suffered from a badly bruised shoulder, but he always put up a good game in spite of this fact. With Young at the head, Waite should have a corking good team next season. Emmy Scheets. Scheets, our quarterback, is not what one would call a giant, but he has natural football ability and dearly loves to fight. Scheets was troubled by a badly injured leg the greater part of the season, but showed the grit to stick in the game. With this year's experience, Ray should greatly strengthen next year's team. Ni-netee11.-Sevenleen Purple and Gold-Waite High School I 141 Chuck Trout. The right halfback position was held down by Chuck Trout. Chuck always played a con- sistent game, his specialty being good sized gains thru the line. Trout starred in the Oak Park game, when he tore thru the line repeatedly for gains of fifteen and twenty yards, and blocked plays thru the Waite line, after a dangerous hole had been opened. Trout has one more year at Waite, and it should prove to be his best. students of Waite High. 'sv '- Grist Siegrist. Carl Siegrist was a new man in Waite High Athletics. Grist started the season with the Reserves, and showed up well at fullback. He was given his chance in the Oak Park game, and by his good showing, was given a berth with the regulars. We expect to see Carl do wonders next season. lk Tubby Roush. One position that caused no wo1'ry to the coaches or players, was left halfback, being taken care of by Tubby. Frank always made valu- able gains thru the line, and often made snappy runs around either end. Roush also played de- fensive end. Here he usually broke up the inter- ference, and often nailed the man with the ball. Roush graduates this year, but his future career as an athlete will be watched with interest by the IL 147 N111ctcen-Seventeen Pwr JI. il G - M' 1 0 mu old U a-ite High, School Dick Schlageter. In Dick Schlageter Waite High has w at aint. Dick sta1 ted at fullback, but early in the season he sustained a badly wrenched knee. The Call of the Gridiron was too strong for Dick, and he was soon back plugging aww 1 o .C 4 5 He should be seen in the Waite line-up next yeai 1 a man with the peculiar habit of plunging. thru a hole ii Vh 7 !Y ll 17 , Doc Simpson. Jimmy was our general all-around backfield man, playing all the backfield positions and quar- terback. Simpson is a light man, but 'overcomes this lack of avoirdupois by hard work. James is with us another year, and, with his experience and knowledge of the game, will help greatly in building up a strong team. Cutey Clemens. A man who showed the ab'l't ll y to pull down long passes just before an opponent arrived, was Fra k Cl ' n emens. F1 ank was always there at turn- ing the interference into the line or breaking it up. Frank will have another year at Waite, and is expected to show some classy football. Nineteen-Seveneen Purple and Gold-Wa-ite H igh School I 143 Joe Sullivan. Joe Sullivan held the pivot position. Joe was the heavy on'the team. His passes were accurate and speedy, and on the defensive' he often b1'Ok6 thru the line and nabbed the man with the ball. Two more years of high school football will put Joe into trim for college athletics. Cotty Lockert. Left end was held by Cotty Lockert. Cotty could be depended upon and was always in the thickest of the fray. Lockert could play in .the backfield, and was a good punter. Cotty is. a hard Worker, and surely earned his letter. Waite ' ' ' ' ' s for another is fortunate 1n having his seivice year. - ll Merce Hade. 'F Merce Hade was the lightest man in the Waite line-up, and also the fastest. Hade alternated with Lockert at left end. Merce had the knack of getting under a pass just before it reached the ground. He often nailed a man from behind, on runs around the opposite end. Hade has one more year to play. ll 1441 Nifneteen-Seventeen Purple and Gold-Waite High School Cupid Colvin. Colvin at right guard was rather a light man for the position, but he always held his own against heavier men. Cupid is a new man, being only a sophomore. With two more years best in high school football. Al' -'Buda Foley. A combination of speed and weight is rare, but these we have in Bud Foley playing right tackle. Frank's flying tackles were a joy to behold. Foley showed up well in the Oak Park and Scott games. Unfortunately we lose him next season, since he will be ineligible, but we hope to see him finish of coaching and experience, he will be among the his course at Waite. Cass Cassidy. Another light line man was Cassidy. 'What he lacked in weight was amply made up in nerve and natural fighting spirit. Cass is only a fresh- man, and will p1'ove to be a valuable man in future years. Nineteen-Seventeen Purple and Gold-Waite High School l 145 Stritt Strittmatter. Strittmatter, playing tackle, was another new man. He started the season with the Reserves but was soon switched to the regulars. Stritt's tackles were hard, and quick as lightning. He was a stone wall on the defense. Frank is lost to Waite by graduation, but we wish him success in his future life, and in athletics. 'Slew' Gary. Sam Gary made an able second for the center position. Sam was a trifle light, but being a de- termined worker, was not to be held down. Gary left school, having lost his father by death. Sam will be back again next season, and will be a great help in developing next year's team. Jas Doyle. 'Jas Doyle managed to make the team at the much disputed end position. Doyle and football were strangers until this season, but Jas had plenty of confidence, and Won his place. We lose Doyle by graduation. The stuff he showed on the football field should help him in his future career. as t.,...pui I 146j Nineteen-Seventeen Purple and Gold-W aite High School ilu.-..,, Paul Mason .....,..

Purple and Gold-Waite H igh School l 147 The Waite-Scott Game. Ideal football conditions greeted the grid warriors of Waite and Scott on Turkey Day of 1916. Promises of a battle royal during the early stages of the game, finally developed into a decided victory for the well-oiled Scott machine. Waite kicked, Foster to Usher, who carried the ball back 15 yards. ,Scott was held, and forced to punt. The ball went out of bounds, and was put into play on the 20-yard line. Waite's ball. The ball then changed hands several times, but Scott finally carried it over the Waite line for 6 points. Cowell kicked goal. No more scores were made in this period, and the quarter ended. Score, Scott 7, Waite 0. Waite pushed the ball into Scott territory at the beginning of the second period, but soon lost the oval. Scott then marched down the field. Usher carried the ball over the Waite line, but the touchdown was not allowed, because of unsportsmanlike conduct. A few minutes later Kirk carried the ball thru center for a touchdown. The first half ended without further scoring. Score, Scott 13, Waite 0. The second half opened with a kick to Trout who returned 35. Waite lost the ball, and Vick, via a hole wide enough for a wagon to go thru, went 25 yards for a touchdown. Waite seemed to have weakened, and the rest of the game became a procession, with Scott doing the proceeding. Occasionally Waite would put up a stubborn resistance, but Scott had found its stride and was not to be stopped. The slaughter finally ended with the score standing, Scott 57, Waite 0. Summary.

This year Waite had an unusually good squad of second string men- These boys were always willing to fight the regulars to a stand-still, and often the scrimmages were real good games. As the season progressed, several men were taken from the second team and put in with the regulars- The Reserves played quite an interesting schedule, but were handicapped by seldom having the same team for two successive games. The first game was lost to Prairie Depot. Then Bradner was defeated, but quarterback Hill had his leg broken and was lost for the rest of the season. The Reserves felt his loss, and a close game was lost to Blissiield. Maumee was then taken into camp. A return game with Blissfield was lost. This ended the season. There are many promising players oh' the Reserves, from which to draw for the regular team next season, and we hope to see them win their letters. The following players received their R's : Hill Clegg McCabe DeViney Merkle Petcoff Wickham Kuhns Jacobs Buck Walters Barrett Schlupp DeMuth Nineteen-Seventeen Purple and Gold-lVaite H igh School I 149 Review of Football. The 1916-17 school-year had a late start, but that did not hold back the football season in the least. Several weeks before school opened, Captain Foster got together a squad of fellows who were promising material, and opened up a training camp at Devil's Lake. Regular practice was called a. week before school opened, and about thirty C305 men responded. When school opened, Waite High showed the largest squad of hopefuls ever tu1'ned out by a Toledo High School. During one practice session, there were four squads running off signals at the same time. . The first game played was against the Alumni made up of some good huskies, but Waite trimmed them neatly. The Waite boys then journeyed to Detroit, knowing that a hard fight was before them and ready to scrap to the last minute. Waite lost, but gained the respect of all, including the Detroit papers, which had roasted our team on all sides, the year before. Adrian was then played here, and easily defeated. In a rough game on our own field, Waite put one over on Michigan Military Academy. Another soft game was against Bowling Green. The first hard game, outside of Detroit Central, was against Columbus West. Waite should have won, but seemed to lack the punch at the proper time. The result was a tie. The next week a little jaunt was taken down to Lima. Some stiff opposition was expected, but the results prove the expectations unfounded. Oak Park of Chicago was our next victim. f?J The game was really won by Waite, but the worst sort of breaks took place in the last five minutes of play, and Waite lost. The blow-up started when an Oak Park man fell on the ball, got up, and ran for a touchdown, while the Waite men, thinking the ball was dead, were going back to their places. Then another fumble was gathered up by an Oak Park man, and turned into a touchdown. With only a few minutes to play, Waite opened up with the long forward pass. Two of these were nabbed, and touchdowns resulted, after runs of fifty-five 1551 and ninety-five 1951 yards respectively. Waite then went to Ann Arbor and was beaten on a cold day, a slippery field, and an empty stomach. Our last game was lost to Scott. The score looks like a walk-away, but those who saw the game, know it was a hard scrap against a bigger and better team. Iniuries were not very frequent this year. Unfortunately, quar- terback Hill of the Reserves had his leg broken in a game against Bradner. The Toledo Commerce Club again entertained the players of the Scott and Waite High football teams, at the close of the season. The coaches, players, and representatives from both schools were present. Finally we wish to congratulate our rivals from across the river, on having copped the football championship of all the territory on this side of the Mississippi. The Waite student body is also to be complimented on the recognition given Scott, when that victorious team was welcomed back to Toledo from its trip to New England. 1501 Nineteen-Severzleen Purple and Gold-W nite H 'igh School 5 1 f' I, ZW ' 1 X THE Q.D.

Jimmy Feak, unfortunately, has not the build to make him an athlete, but this does not keep him from athletics. Besides being the manager, Jimmy was the rubber for the football and basket ball teams. Much of our athletic success is due to Jimmy's valuable assistance. Nineieen-Se-ve-nfeen Purple and Gold-Waite H igh School I 153 n E uTeep.v It has been said that Waite had a good basketball team the first year, had a better one the second year, almost a championship team this year, and with Teep's coaching WILL have a championship team next year. Waite surely has been fortunate in having had a coach of Teeple's caliber for such a long period. We hope to have him still longer, but he has given out the word that he will not coach next year. Let us hope he will change his mind. We wish him the greatest success in his business as a basketball coach, should he con- tinue this line of activity- 154 1 Nineteen-Seventeen Purple and Gold-Waite H 'zgh School thru graduation. Tubby Roush. The other guard position was held down by Tubby Roush. Tubby ' plays back to defend the Waite goal, while his running mate capers around the iioor. He often supplied something of the sensational by his high, arched shots from be- yond the center of the floor. This is Tubby's third and last year as a basketball man at Waite. Lewie McClure The Waite High basketball team was captamed by Lewie McClure, at left guaid Lewie al ways gave the best he had, playing a wonderful floor game, and at the same time holding his man down to a few points.

Waite had a classy little forward in Frank Clemens. Frank always played a wonderful floor game, and was an accurate shot. He knew how to slidelunder his guard's arms, and then proceed to make two points with said guard's hand clinging to his neck. Frank has another year at Waite, and much is expected of him. Squirrel,' Ballmer. Squirrel Ballmer, our lanky center, was one of the finds of the season. Few centers were seen to consistently get the tip-off from Ballmer. He was the main point getter on the team. Squirrel performed best under the basket, where his height permitted him to toss the ball thru the hoop, altho several others might be trying to climb up and reach it. Being best at basketball, Ballmer will help bring back the bacon next year. 1561 Nzneteen Seventeen Purple and Gold-Wa-ite High School Fillup Clemens. Another new man who showed class was Fill- up Clemens. Phil helped greatly in forming Waite's point-a-minute combination. His floor work was much better than ordinary, and he was a shark on long shots. Two more years of efli- cient coaching will put Fillup far out of high school class. Pinky Pittinger. Pinky Pittinger gave the other forwards a run for their money. He played in every game, and always succeeded in caging several baskets. Most of his points were made on follow-up shots. He played a very clever floor game. Pinky started at Chicago, getting more field goals than any other man in the tournament. His services will help Waite produce another crack team next season. Nineteen-Seventeen Purple and Gold-Waite High School I 157 Cy Foster. Waite had a valuable substitute in Cy Foster. Cy could perform equally well at center or fo1'- ward. Foster handled the ball exceptionally well, and was an excellent shot. Cy is with Waite another year and will help greatly in developing a winner. Tea Young. Altho a substitute this year, Tea Young may be considered a find of the season. Young pulled a surprise by his showing at Chicago, uncovering a world of speed, and intercepting passes that might have resulted in points. Teeple predicts that Young will play the most wonderful basket- ball ever seen at Waite. 1581 Nineteen-Seventeen Purple and Gold-W'a1'te H igh School Paul Qinej Utz. Another man who helped the team along greatly was Paul Utz. Paul was always 1'eady to go into a game and give his best. Utz lacked the speed to make him a first string man, but he was an excellent shortand a hard worker. We lose Utz by graduation, but wish him a world of success in his future life. Emmy', Scheets. Emmy Scheets was our substitute guard. Scheets was the smallest man on the squad, but he has a stocky build, and can stand a lot of roughing. Scheets has two more years at Waite and will prove to be a wonderful help in develop- ing teams in the future. .. r Nineteen-Seventeen Pu-rple and Gold-Waite High School I 159 POINTS MADE BY EACH PLAYER.

A few responded. This started some others a-thinking, and they followed on the next train. Doc Simpson seemed to lack the necessary kale, so he and his friend Hank Rigney boarded the blind baggage. They were pinched at Evanston, where they had gotten off for beans The officer asked Doc where they were bound. He seemed to know all about the tournament, and released them. Thus they managed to escape the evils of law and order, and reached Chi. hale and hearty tho cold. Here they were taken care of by the rest of the boosters who had all lodged at the same hotel. A collection was taken up, and 'Doc' and Co. traveled home in fine style. Others also had their little adventures. On the night of our arrival, several of the boosters decided to go downtown. They boarded the elevated, and when they thot they had gone far enough, they got off. After having seen their fill of the sights, they decided to turn in. This was about midnight. The again boarded the ele- vated, but to their disgust, discove1'ed that it was the wrong train. They boarded several others, but accidently landed in the right one, and got back to the hotel at three o'clock in the morning. The trip usually takes about fifteen minutes. , A good representation of Waite boosters was present, tho the Toledo business men were quite conspicious by their absence. Those interested in Waite High activities may be well pleased with the showing made by the boosters, and in the future, we hope to see the Club increased by a large number.

The Waite High basket ball team of 1917 ran into the hardest schedule ever made for a Waite team. All the crack teams of Ohio and neighboring states were played, and at the end of the season, Waite played in the middle west championship tournament at Chicago. At the call for candidates, most of last year's team and loads of good new material, turned out. From these a first squad of ten men was selected. The first game was the annual affair against the Alumni. The game had to go into two extra periods, but was finally won by Waite. Then Bowling Green was swamped under. Next came Ann Arbor, and Waite took revenge for the defeat handed us last year in the Michigan city' In the game against Adrian, Waite just gath- ered enough points to keep up a point-a-minute pace. Lima was taken on the next week and easily beaten. Findlay proved to be fish- The next week was a hard one, two games being played against state title contenders. The first one, against Stivers High of Dayton, was won by a close score. The next night Elyria fell victim to our basketeers. Waite kept up a point-a-minute pace in both these games. Scott, our next opponent, was defeated by a few points in a very rough game. Akron showed little opposition. Erie, claiming the title of Pennsylvania and New York, was defeated the next week. Then Scott was walloped by a large score. With only two days' rest, Waite journeyed to Chicago, won three games out of four, and finished third in the tournament. This closed the playing season, and the players were overwhelmed by the many feeds tendered them by their many friends, including the Faculty. - BASKET BALL SCHEDULE.

They started the season with a loss against a local team. Then Coach Roush took hold of the fellows. As a result, Oak Harbor, another local team, Napoleon, and the Scott Reserves were defeated. A game was lost to Norwalk. Elmore's scalp was taken. With most of the team on the sick list, the second game with the Scott Reserves was lost. Waite then braced up, and, by some flashy playing in the last th1'ee minutes of the game, took a win from Defiance, thereby winning the championship of north- western Ohio. A competitive ticket sale was held, to decide at which school the third game between the Scott and Waite Reserves should be played. The game was played at Waite. This was the kind of a game you read of in stories. Waite started out with a fiash, but was overtaken by Scott. One side, and then the other, took the lead. Finally Waite made a basket, putting them one point ahead, and ten seconds later the game washover. The last game was lost to Mans- field, by one point, in the tournament at Bowling Green. Those who are acquainted with the teams turned out by such towns as the Re- serves played, know that they hit some rough going. In these games the Reserves out-played their opponents, and whenever rough tactics were used they were not a bit backward in returning the compliment. There is some mighty fine material on the Reserve team, some of which will undoubtedly appear on the first squad next season. Those playing on the Reserve squad, were: Helbing Rudolph , Simpson McClure Plock Ladd - 1 Byers Merkle N-1'vwtemz,-Sezverziec11 Purple and Gnlrl-White H igh, School I 165 Girls' Basket Ball Team Girls' Basket Ball Squad 1661 Nineteen-Seventeen Purple and Gold-Waite High School GYM GIRLS , This year has proved an interesting one in girls' athletics. Be- sides the regular Freshmen and Sophomore classes during school hours, a large advanced class, composed of Juniors, Seniors and those Freshmen and Sophomores who so desired, met every Wednesday. This class started late but in the end showed up splendidly. Danc- ing, drills, and marching were ably taught by Miss Arnibruster and Miss Lecklider. ' There is also a girls' basket ball squad: a first and second team. There have been two clashes with Scott, the first at Scott, the second at Waite. Our first team was hopelessly defeated both times. The material was good but the team Work did not show up as it should. The second team was nearly as good as the first. They were vic- torious on both occasions. After the basket ball season closed, indoor baseball was played on Wednesdays and Fridays. There has been swimming every Wed- nesday during the school year, and a large enthusiastic crowd has enjoyed the sport. On Friday evening, May 4, an exhibition was held in the gym. Various folk dances, drills, and marching, were given by over four hundred girls.

Wilder, first in the 220 and third in the 303 Herringshaw, second in the high jumpg Hade, third in the 220, and Bernot third in the mile, were the only Waite men to place. Final score-Detroit 753 Waite 11. Sprinters. The Sprints were run by the following men: Pleiss, Wilder, and Hade in the 30-yard dash. Wilder, Hade, and Pearson in the 220-yard dash. Of these, Pleiss and Pearson will graduate. High Jump. Waite was represented in the high jump by Herringshaw and Plock. The former graduates this year. . Pole Vaulters. McBride and Pore were our pole Vaulters. Both men graduate. McBride was the best man on the team, and his loss will be felt strongly in building up another team next year. ' Hurdlers. I Our hurdlers were McBride, Pearson, and Herringshaw. Quarter Mile. Waite's representatives in the 440 were Robinson, Farrell, Wendt and Fitzgerald. Wendt and Farrel will remain at school. Half Mile. Bernot, McCabe and Wendt were our half milers. Only McCabe will be lost this year, and this should become one of our strong events next season. A Mile. Bernot, Merkle, and Clegg ran the mile. Merkle graduates, but the others are sophomores, and should make good milers before leaving school. Shot Put. Roush, Petcoff, and Demuth performed best in the shot put. Relay Team. Wilder, Hade, McBride and Pleiss formed the relay team.

From these, a team of very promising material was picked out. This year's team is fully as good, if not better than last year's, and Waite should have no trouble in going th1'u the rest of the season without a defeat. The main feature of the schedule is a five-game series with Scott. Waite lost the first of these, 6 to 5. We came back strong in the second game and won, 5 to 2. The first defeat seems to have done much good, for the boys are now pos- sessed with more determination, and show plenty of fight. There is little question as to who will win the Waite-Scott series. The first sack was left vacant, but Merkle was chosen to hold it down. He fields well, and is a fair batte1'. Last year's combination was back again around the keystone sack, Simpson holding down second, and Pittinger short. These two men work together like well oiled machinery, and very few balls pass them. Both are good hitters, and Pittinger is the clean-up hitter. Fitzgerald had some experience last year in covering third base, and worked in very well to complete a strong, .smoothly running infield. Fitz plays airtight baseball on the defense, and is a good hitter. The outfield was little cause for worry. Plock, center field, and F. Clemens, left field, were back from last year's team. Both field well and hit when the hits are needed. P. Clemens in the right garden is a good fielder and a vicious Slugger. Young and Ayers also perform well in the outfield. Young is a very good fielder, and a good hitter. Ayers bats from the port side, and is able to draw many passes. Roush took on the heavy end of the battery work, tho P. Clemens follows close upon his heels. Both of these peg well, and give the pitcher fine support. The pitching department is well taken care of. Ballmer does most of the work. He depends mainly upon a fast ball, tho he has a good curve, and has also been experimenting with a slow ball. Ballmer is a heavy hitter. Scheets also took his turn upon the mound, depending upon several very deceiving hooks, and a fast ball. He also played second base. If not working in the outfield, Young could take his turn upon the mound. His main stand-by is a fast ball.

The program was very elaborate, consisting of tableaux, dances, a Vestal Virgin ceremonial, and the betrothal scene from 'A Roman Wedding! During the intermission gingerbread images of Saturnus and his sickle were sold. About 150 students took part in the entertainment, all in Greek and Roman costume. The aedile who gave the games described the Roman customs involved and other students followed, who instructed the audience in whatever was necessary for a complete enjoyment of the scenes. The first group of tableaux represented characters in the political and social life of Rome, another group portrayed mythological per- sonagesg scenes from the Gallic Wars and the Aeneid formed sub- jects for still others. A piano, cello and violin helped greatly in creating the proper atmosphere and accompanied the very beautiful dances, among which were 'Apollo and the Muses,' 'Iris,' and 'A Pompeian Flower Girl? At the close, the entire cast appeared upon the stage singing 'Gaudeamus Igitur,' as they followed the aedile to the temple. ' -Classical Journal. The Latin Department cleared a little over two hundred dollars. at the Saturnalia. A portion of this money was used in- buying a beautiful Caproni cast of Diana of Versailles, for the Waite High School Library. The balance is being spent for pictures, casts and equipment for the Latin recitation rooms. N i-rzeteen-Seve-rzteefz.

A flirt, said the ugly one, a flirt is a species of human carrot that has an irresistible fascination for two-legged donkeys.

One day his mother, noticing his tracks, called: Earl, where are you '? 'Tm restin' in the parlor, was the response. Not on the sofy ? she gasped in horror. No, on the floor. Not on that grand carpet? came the agonized query. No'm, for once I rolled it up. ' When Eve held forth in Paradise, She found much pleasure in it. For when she did her Monday wash, It only took a minute. Small Daughter of the House-Oh, mama! Donald must be awfully wise. I just heard him tell Marie that he would explain everything. Solid Rock Marie's little sister, aged five, was combing her daddy's hair. Daddy is slightly bald but was startled to hear the small girl say: No wonder you can't grow hair here. It's all- stone.

Tucker Cprospective member of clubl-What is the limit in this club? , D. Voss-The food. An Irishman, going for the first time into a fashionable restau- rant, saw on the bill of fare, Oysters on the half-shell. He ordered half a dozen, but looked at them dubiously when they were brought. His meal had progressed for a time when he beckoned the waiter to him again. Say, waiter, he exclaimed, how do yez eat them things? and he pointed to the oysters. Why, said the waiter, you put on a bit of salt and pepper and vinegar, if you like, and swallow them. Do yez mane t' say -they'll sthay down fer yez ? , Why, of course, was the waiter's reply. The old fellow was unconvinced. Let me see yez do it, he finally said. ' The waiter prepared one of the oysters and downed it with evi- dent relish. The Irishman looked incredulous. Do yez mane to say it sthayed down '? he asked. Of course, was the answer. . And, if I'd do that would it sthay down ? Why, sure! Won't either l It will too! By Golly, it won't either. I swallowed that same one three times now. ll ' What Did She Mean?

Paul H.-Yes, indeed! I went to the mutes' dance and swung dumb belles around all evening. Southern cousin of Gladys F.-So youh goin' to staht a poultry fahm? Mrs. Fellabaum-Yes. Gladys has the chicken pox already. Preferred Algiers to Heaven i The late bishop of London was once ordered by his physician to spend the winter in Algiers. The bishop said it was impossible, he had so many engagements. Well, my lord bishop, said the specialist, it either means Algiers or heaven. In that case, said the bishop, I'll go to Algiers. Who was here to see you last night, Dora? Only Myrtle, father. Well, tell Myrtle she left her pipe on the piano. 5 Nimrteclz.-Sevenfvcn.
