Pollock Students of VVaite High School had their wishes gratified last year when Mr. Pollock was elected principal. The appointment of Mr. Pollock as principal was the dawn of a new era for VVaite in all its activities. Mr. Pollock: having been faculty manager in athletics and a teacher in the school, knew the needs of both teachers and students. By applying new systems and studying the needs of VVaite, Mr. Pollock has overcome, one by one, the difficulties that arose,' from time to time, in the first year of his leadership. It matters not how trivial the difhculties of a student may be, Mr. Pollock is always ready to give a helping hand and some good sound counsel to anyone who seeks his advice and opinion. lVe feel well assured that the future will witness more of his splendid leadership, his generous spirit, and his kindly feeling toward all who are fortunate enough to be associated with him.

VVith these essential matters under the care of two men as efHcient as Mr. Keller and Mr. Barrow, we mayiconsider the health of the students safeguarded against any unsanitary or unpleasant conditions. Waite has one of the best heating and Ventilating systems of any school in the city. This plant requires an emcient man to care for it. Such kind- nesses as opening the lockers for those who forget their keys or lose them make the VVaite students still further indebted to these men.

Herbert Overmier lVilbur Randel Martha Sullivan Constance lvegman Colinne McClure Russell Wlebster 59 Purple and Gold IVaife High School ZVilZPfE'6 lI twenty lwivmf E I Two thousand years ago, or even more, In lands beyond a wild and traeliless sea, There lived a race, by every foe most feared, And known to savage peoples far and wide For daring conquests made in distant elimes, lllhere mighty kingdoms swayed and rocked and Tvhen stormed by those bold Roman generals. The cruelest tale that ever tongue could tell lVould fail but sadly to describe their deeds. The world, with all its frightened peoples shook, Wlhen mighty legions to the front lead way To struggle hard in sharp and deadly strife. No Christian light sent forth its cheering glow To lighten grief and lessen worldly care, To take the sting from Deathls relentless blow, Or make the path of life an easier wayg But, at the flower-decked shrines of heathen gods The Roman warrior made his sacrifice, And then no matter what tl1e odds Illlgllt be Wvent forth to struggle on in sin and strife, Content, that by his parting gifts of wine Or fatted sheep upon the altar slain, He duly hadappeased the powers sublime And thus was freed from sorrow, wound or pain. 60 fell, I urple and Gold Waite High School Nmeteen twenty Yet out of all this weary war and strife, Arisen from the lasting grief of life, Appeared a shining vision, pure and white- A maiden fair in softest garments clad. Upon her arm the fairest lilies lay, VVhose whitest petals drooped to hide in shame As side by side with this pure spotless maid Their tender beauty seemed but weak and vain. Her eyes were raised in happy thoughts Of sweetest music sung by hosts on high, No goddess more than she is sought in prayer, All men for worthy inspiration sigh. And, hand in hand, and leading her along In case, by chance she slip aside and fall, VVhen holy thoughts, the evil strive to blur And joyous Pleasure her from work doth call, Did friendly Opportunity draw near. Her rosy cheek and sparkling eye of blue Bespoke a joyous nature, with no fears VVhile Happiness and faithful Trust are nigh She is the helpful friend of all mankind As to each one she often gives her hand, Yet many to l1er beckoning are blind And let kind Opportunity pass by. And thus these two have scattered joy and hope Throughout the land into the farthest realm At one time to the humble country folk They take their helpful words of joy and cheer. A shepherd tending to his flocks, While oier the grass they slowly graze about, Doth see appear from misty clouds of haze As in a dream when one is fast asleep, The glorious thoughts and songs of poetry Like faintest strains of sweetest music played By throngs of angels in eternity, YVhile earthly plans of mortals wane and fade. Now in the homes where wealth and ease are found And servants hasten to the slightest call, VVhere softest carpets still disturbing sounds And richest tapestries adorn the wall, Here, too, the helpful maidens pause awhile, To whisper softly in a willing ear The magic words and precious guiding laws 61 Purple and Gold Waite High School Nineteen-twenty To free the earnest youth from hindering fear To make the stony road to fame less rough They give him light to show the path ahead And bid him always keep his sacred trust, And oft for inspiration fair to pray. Through all the ages that have gone before, Through time of war and time of restful peace, In years of hunger and of misery ' Or periods of wealth and luxury, At all times Inspiration kind and true V And Opportunity with helpful hand Are giving freely of their gifts so rare And oft where these rich blessings fall and grow There springs a poet with his tuneful lays A famous artist with his masterpiece, An author struggling through life's hampering maze, Or great musicians soulful melodies. We cannot all to music turn our eyes Or do great work in art's exalted realm, But each one can this simple lesson learn As first he takes his faltering steps through life, Though art's high standard may not be attained And music softly falls with broken Wingsg That Inspiration always hovers near To help mankind in many ,trials sore, To raise his life to higher planes of thought VVhere he will gain his laurels, l1igl1 ideals. And now, O classmates, may we one and all So guide our lives through each succeeding year In everything that we may strive to do That we may for the future have no fears, Let Inspiration be our trusty guide And followwhere she shows the shining Way In paths where Joy and hard-earned Fame have trod And richest blessings tempt the pilgrim ong And may We always act with willing heart When kindly Opportunity appears I To make the world a better, easier place For those who follow us in future years. 1MILDRED AGNES MCCALLA. 62 Purple and Gold Waite High School Nineteen-twenty ff liffi r , as... ...ass .wg f .4 Ill ISS get ,,gw,,..s. . . , V, , ' ,Q 'iv l F3 33 if .b!

' 1- 2- You l1ave all heard tl1e story of the search for the Fountain of Youth. In fact, many people would give much to find this mystic spring. But who has ever searched for the Fountain of Old Age? Few people have ever heard of such a well, yet there is in existence today a hidden spring and he wl1o drinks of its water adds twenty years to his life. Therefore when I was asked to write a future for each member of our class, I determined to get actual facts. To do this I broke a time-honored precedent, for never before has any woman volun- tarily added twenty years to her age. But, feeling that duty demanded it I sought the Fountain of Old Age and plunged in. Simultaneously I advanced twenty years in life. Imagine my surprise at the wonderful changes in the world and at the various occupations in which I found my classmates to be engaged. Robert Babione, the second Luther Burbank, who had a fine experimental farm at Bowling Green, had developed a new odorless onionwhich opened the hearts of many housewives to him. In place of Smith's Cafeteria, a new electric service eating house had been opened by Irene Dunn and employed there, as an entertainer, was Ora Critchet. It is said that her marvelous dancing attracted many to the cafe and was instrumental in making the place a success. Directly across the street from the cafeteria was the Young Men's Out- fitting Shop of which Francis Stephenz was the proprietor. VVhen I entered the shop a great' surprise awaited me, for there, parading before a group of buyers, was my old friend, Roy Milbourne, whose build made him especially well adapted to his position as a model, showing the styles for slim young men. Among the buyers were Park LeGron, Eleanore Carnall and Irene Humberstone. Wliile I was in the store who should enter with his wife but our president, Edward Lamb. IVho could have believed that our strong-willed, resolute president could ever have developed into such a peaceful and meek family man? Yet developed he had, and his sole object seemed to be to gratify every whim that his capable and self-reliant spouse expressed. About the year 1928, I dropped into the Rivoli to view the latest musical comedy which was being produced by Mildred Haye. VVho should I see as leader 63 Purple and Gold Waite High School Nineteen-twenty of the burlesque chorus but our football friend, Boni Petcoff. He was at the head of a group calling themselves the Beefy Trusti' and composed of Malcolm Mclnnes, Howard Trautwein and Peter Quinlan. Pete was the only one of the group who ever married, but as his wife traveled with him, matrimony in no way hampered his career. .Iames Feak had been in this celebrated chorus, but had left to enter the movies as successor to Fatty Arbuckle. I might also mention here tl1at traveling with this group were the Misses Helen Cripe, Dorothy Bennett and Melva Johnson. Their main duty was to guard the properties and see that the chorus received plenty to eat. Boni was especially well pleased with the last named duty. Marion Clark was traveling with her husband, a theatrical star. VVhen his company came to Toledo her friends, Vera Barnes and Clara Palmer, both happily married, entertained her lavishly. The arrangements for the enter- tainments were carried out by the leading caterers of the city, Nellie Hoag, Bessie Hoffman and Edna Hollopeter. VVhile strolling down the street one day I saw a large crowd gathered around a corner salesman. I walked toward them and received a shock, for who should the salesman be but my old friend Clyde Kiker. Clyde was employ- ing his oratorical powers in selling a new potato peeler, invented by a promi- nent lady scientist, Violet Campbell, and manufactured by the Chetister Potato Peeler Co. Just then a street car went by bearing the sign, To the Ball Parkf, I hopped on board and rode out to the field for I knew that I would see many of my friends there. It was in 1936, that a number of ex-VVaite boys met together and formed a baseball team. They practiced and practiced until they became so proficient that the Toledo manager engaged the group to represent Toledo in baseball. The boys lined up like this: First Base ,....... Lloyd Grow Right Field .... Charles Lewis Second Base..Edward Howe Catcher .......... Charles Hider Third Base ...... Wilbur King Pitcher .... Theodore Roberts Shortstop .... Harold Meilley Umpire ........ Stephen Miller Center Field ..,. Don Kreager Umpire ............ John lNIcColl Left Field .......... Art Lipner VVhile at the ball park I met the Blade Reporter, Helen Bradbury, who took me to several of her business associates and introduced me. However, no introductions were necessary, for who should they turn out to be but Ward VVhitcomb, Editor of the Bingville Bugle and Zoe Clark, Limerick Editor of the same paper. I asked Zoe for information about my old classmates and was surprised when she told me that Swain Van'lVormer was an ice man in Bing- ville and that the maids on his route awaited the ice delivery eagerly. Zoe mentioned the names of two of these maids, Vllilma Kuhr and Georgiana Metzger, I also learned that VVilliam Vtlells was in Bingville and occupied a position as leading veterinary and also the constable of this thriving hamlet. 64 Purple and Gold Waite High School Nineteen-twenty You may be interested to know that George Hunter had made a place for himself on the list of the immortals when he played Cupid in the 1930 Follies. He owes his success to his valet, Edwin Karl, keeper of George's quiver and wings, without which the act would have failed. Hildegard Hering, the leading sign painter of Bucyrus, Ohio, was quite surprised when the order for the new grocery store came in. It called for a sign reading, Kievit's Cut Rate Grocery Store-Kum Here and Beat the H. C. Lf, , Other members of VVaite,s 1920 class who had become interested in art were Herb Colvin, who posed for the prize-winning picture entitled, Innocence Let Loose, and Harry Stegenga, the sculptor who carved the friezes in Toled0's Labor Temple. Florence VVoods, in spite of her art lessons at the museum, never accomplished much in the line of art. In fact, all Tubby had ever drawn was water from the well. - The students of the class of '20 took the foremost places not only in art, but also in religion, politics and science. Eleanore Durian had given up her life here and had gone to the Fiji Islands as a missionary. Edythe Baum- gardner had taken up Christian Science and was now earning her living as a Christian Science practitioner. Calvin Reed was a Methodist minister of the Billy Sunday school. Vashti Harmon for the last ten years had been a Y. W. C. A. secretary. The greatest surprise of all was Lucille Kelley who had entered a convent. Many say she had been disappointed in love, but the real reason was never learned. However, she was now leading the life of a recluse and seemed contented to do so. Mary Bauer and Loyal Nofziger may be religious, but they certainly are of the newer type. Both had founded new- thought cults. Mary called hers the Spinsteris Relief Band and Loyal had identified himself as Swain of the Cult of the Seven Steins. Many of the old crowd had entered vigorously into the political life of 1936. Erma Baird, when she went to the mayor's oHlce to sell fire engines, was surprised to find Esther Gerber filling that position. Needless to say that Esther gave her an order for old time's sake. That is the inside history of the 360,000 fire engine graft of 1937. Since 1920 a new party had sprung up in America, the Anti-Tobacco Party, and at its head was another conscientious Waite graduate, Donald Bacome. Durelle Oten, although he had never married, had written marriage licences for other people, while Marvin Widmer held a position as plane traffic-cop on top of the one hundred story building. Durelle boasted that he had Written licenses for nearly all of his WVaite friends, yet never for himself. Among his many customers were Bessie Grasser who had been married for years and Martha Sullivan who capably filled the heart and home of a Methodist minister. As Geraldine Lash had been married three times up to date, Durelle didnlt even have to ask her the usual questions when she appeared. He merely filled out her license. Perhaps my greatest surprise which my insight into the future gave me was the progress that had been made along scientihc lines. Wlho would have believed 65' Purple and Gold Waite High School Nineteen-twenty that some day, instead of crossing the Cherry Street bridge by car, all that would be necessary was to catch hold of a pulley and be jerked across. This was a great time-saving invention, for it only took two and one-half minutes. This machine was invented by Max Shepherst. At either end of the bridge two familiar figures collected the toll-f-Elizabeth Moran and Gertrude Nadeau. Hilda Feindt had contributed to humanity a new medical dog biscuit. Florence Gaertner, her publicity agent and demonstrator was instrumental in bringing success to Hilda for it was through l1er efforts that Addie Croft's Dog Hospital had adopted this biscuit in the treatment of its patients. Victor Crew's combination tooth brush and button hook was another commodity for which the world may thank an ex-lVaite student. But perhaps the greatest inven- tion may be described by copying an advertisement I saw. It read: Why Let Your Baby Cry? Pacify It With Ifarolzl Woozlis Baby Pacifierf' Mildred Pasch had not turned out as all signs had indicated that she would. Instead of marrying, she had opened a modiste's shop and had employed as models, Nina Gladiux, Grace Faulkner and Miriam Hartman. The shop was a wonderful success, for the most exclusive society matrons of tl1e city pur- chased their frocks there. You will recognize their names, Myrnah Esling and Laura Haines. But purchasing expensive gowns in expensive shops often leads togtrouble as Annie Andrew had discovered. She found herself with such a large modiste's bill that she was forced to part with her 330,000 necklace. You can imagine her surprise to find Velma Bodimesvacting as everybodyls aunty in a Superior Street pawn shop. Six years after we l1ad been graduated, women obtained the vote. Suffrage led women into many masculine professions. Vera Applegate was a salesman for the Modern Glass Co., and Francis Denniston headed the new Petrolatum Co. Ella Bender was captain of the Greyhound III and Zelma Kirkman was stewardess on the same boat. Speaking of the Greyhound reminded me of Sugar Island, where Helen Swinehart was taking tickets for tl1e Loop-the-Loop. But amid all of this commercialism there was one ex-Waite girl who had sacrificed herself and had contributed to the educational world her famous Latin Pony. I mean Jessie Belden, the author of the Latin Student's Friend. Many of my old classmates had gone into vaudeville and had been success- ful too. '6The Three B Treeu was composed of Carl Benson, Luther Brenner and George Booth. They were the three most successful jugglers in the country. Horace Donegan furnished tl1e surprise of my young life. Myrtle Sanzenbacher, the Egyptian dancer, had just completed her act. The curtain went down and rose again on a scene of wonderful artistry. All was quiet when a melodious voice burst into song and a superbly gowned woman came upon the stage. After rendering several beautiful songs she bowed, came to an erect position without her wig, and stood revealed as Horace Donegan, the second Julien Eltinge. Charlotte Meagher dashed madly upon tl1e stage crying, HI don't care, I donlt caref' My program explained it by saying that Miss 66 Purple and Gold Waite High School Nineteen-twenty Meagher was hailed by theater-goers as the second Eva Tanguay. She was supported by an excellent prop, Professor Harry Munday, the phrenologist and Roland Black, Jazz King on the saxophone. Another headliner was Eugene Wveiss, impersonator of Icchabod Crane. The whole bill, may be seen, was excellent to the nth degree. Interesting to the theatrical was the famous Sullwold law-suit. The two Sullwold sistersufthey were not really sistersj had applied for admittance to the Follies chorus. The judges of applicants to this chorus were Charles Charvat and Floyd Colbert. It is said that they never failed to pick stars. Sad to relate the Sullwolds, application was refused. They immediately sued the judges and hired the Nauts cousins to defend them. With such able lawyers the Sullwold girls could not help winning the suit and it was rumored that they gained a comfortable fortune through the decision of the court. Theatrical people were not the only W'aite grads. who had obtained press notoriety. Zula Burkholder, the champion cross-country wa1ker,iand Opal Weida and Leona Stockton, tennis champions, commanded paragraphs in the daily sports' page, while George Schlosser, the polo hero, warranted a whole half page when he fell from his biplane on the way to the polo grounds. In the columns of the Daily Noise were to be found tl1e questions and answers of Dr. Myra Pratt. She was better known as the Mother's Guide, for when any one's baby swallowed a button or a penny or had any sort of accident, all that was necessary was to ask Doctor Pratt, and the correct remedy was immediately suggested. When the three children of Mildred McCalla drank the last of the Johannesberger and acted strangely, it was Doctor Pratt who dis- covered the cause and supplied the remedy. Doctor Pratt's able assistant was one of the old group, Ila Kirkland. Don Dewey had employed some of the knowledge learned at high school when he opened a large dancing academy. Employed as his assistants were the Misses Mary Jones and Dorothy Kemp. Professor Dewey and his helpers were considered the most daring and proficient dancers in that locality. Doris Yeagle and Thelma Lingle were' still talking. They were making records for the new Edison machines. Ellen Yenzer and Loretta Zelner were associated with the same company, but they sang. Ellen was classed with Alma Gluck, but Loretta confined her vocal efforts to the latest rag time melodies. Doris Nelson, in spite of all her training used her voice for a very commonplace duty-that of singing little Doris to sleep. Colinne McClure, Pearl Meyer and Helen Mohr had invented a new lotion called the Three M's Remedy. It was warranted to grow hair on a bald surface, remove hair from the face, cure colds, catarrh, pneumonia and eczema. Needless to say the sale of this medicine had brought the girls a large fortune. i Olga Rodemich who was hailed as the second Annette Kellerman traveled through Toledo in 1929. Her trainers, Fannie Koons and Catherine Kruger, 67 Purple and Gold Waite High School Nineteen-twenty challenged all comers to defeat Olga in a three-hundred-yard dash. They believed this to be impossible, but they were mistaken, for Constance Wegman, a Y. W. C. A. product, accepted the challenge and came off victorious. Mildred Leeth, promoter of sports, cleared over 350,000 on this one race. In conjunction with this meet, the Stitt swimming school entered a candi- date who won from the Indiana state representative. Bob and his three assis- tants, Harry Garbe, .Iulius Geach and Norman Hart looked their best in bright red suits, with a single white stripe around the chest. Bob looked so Winsome that many ladies in the audience, among them Eunice Rier, Leta Loch- bihler and Bertha Piel, were encouraged to bet on him in the diving contest. But appearances are often deceiving. The bets were lost when Bob hit flat on his first dive. Such is always the way of life. Leslie Bender, who was in the employ of the Roose and Ruppel Tea Co., had gone to China as a tea taster. It was rumored that he had become addicted to the tea habit and consequently would never return to the states. Roland Birkenkamp was also in the far east. At the close of his high school career he found himself with four glistening medals. Being unable to think of any prac- tical use for them in America, he sought an oriental land where metal orna- ments were the vogue. He was now wearing two as ear-rings and two as nose ornaments. Claud Brown was still driving around in his old friend, the familiar Hivver. He earned the almighty dollar by collecting junk and hired in his junk emporium, Eulele Rush and Mary Sayen. Cecil Murphy was engaged in a similar profession, that of a ragman. His wife urged him to try some more refined occupation, but as Cecil enjoyed riding around, blowing his horn, he continued his rag-picking way. Geneva Scharer had established a precedent when she took a position as porter on the Twentieth Century Limited. The idea was a winner and now the traveling salesmen-lucky dogs--could have their coats brushed by smiling maids instead of by grinning darkies. Grace Sisson and Blanche Werner, members of this profession said that the tips alone won a munificent salary. VVhen Florence Shaw had taken her son to have his hair cut, who should she discover with a large pair of shears in his hand but Howard Smith. He had been head barber in Lasalle's for years, but he Hnally opened a shop on Madison Avenue where all of the socially-elect had their babies, hair cut. VVhile little Melly or .IimmyQas the case may be-had his hair cut, mother had a manicure from either Nellie Sockman or Maud Scofield. Some people in this world make money and gain little in the way of intellectual honors. Others gain honors but live in poverty. Of this latter type was Gordon Pheley who was ma-de a Fellow of the Royal Society for writing a treatise on The Pollywog and Its Relation to the Human Being. V I was standing on the banks of the Maumee one day, when to my surprise, 68 Purple and Gold Waite High School Nineteen-twenty directly in front of me, a submarine arose to the surface. Out upon the deck came Captain Ernest Reichart, Edward Riendeau and Carl Reisbach. They fearlessly plied the waters of the Great Lakes guarding the coast from any possible invaders. Another man, famous in nautical circles, was VVilbur Randel, the most successful bell-diver in existence. He had earned fame for himself by diving in among the wreckage of the Lusitania. Due to the accuracy of his reports the Wewiurkowski Salvage Co. was able to raise and repair the great liner which was still in use as a passenger ship. Jack Williams, furniture manufacturer was about crazy with worry, for it was reported that Mildred Underwood who had been his secretary for years, was about to marry. He scolded, but as report had it that Jack himself had fallen a victim to Cupid's darts, he could not say much. It was another illus- tration of the old saying, People in glass houses should not throw stones. Ethel Wiles and Bernice WVilliams, pioneer homesteaders in British Colum- bia, had been surprised to discover honest to goodness gold deposits on their territory. They had immediately sent for Ruth Talbot, assayist. Her reports led to their establishing two mines, the Oh Boy YH and the Some Girl. Their agent, Thelma Thompson, immediately opened offices in New York and the sale of stocks. began. Thelma said that shares in the Some Girl sold rapidly in military camps, while stock of the Oh Boy I went like hot cakes in feminine circles. The reason for this is very evident. Russell Webster was a photographer in New York. His specialty was theatrical pictures and he delighted in posing the Winsome stars of all the Broadway shows. Harold Steinmueller the pugilist, had rather a unique arrangement. He knocked out the teeth of his opponents and then recommended to them his dentist friend, VVilliam Steinhauer. VVilliam inserted new teeth and charged an enormous price. Then he and Harold divided the proceeds. In his way they managed to earn a comfortable living. Marguerita Sullivan, owner of the Come Dirty-Leave Clean Laundry, was surprised to find among the clothes to be washed a soldier's uniform with Alice Sturgeonis name in the collar. She immediately investigated and found that Alice was a lieutenant in the U. S. A. Recruiting Corps and that she held the record for recruiting the greatest number of young men in the year 1938. Only the other day when I went to order my coal, who should driverout of the yards but Herbert Straub. At iirst I thought he was a negro-he was so black-but when he spoke to me I recognized him. He told me that he had been a coal driver for years and that as he enjoyed his daily drives he hoped to stick at that position. On my way home I met Robert Strub and from him learned a sad tale. Abram Smith-poor Abram-became so crazy on the subject of soap-box 69 Purple and Gold Waite High School Nineteen-twenty orations and debates, that it was necessary to enter him at the South Street Hospital. I-Ie had been found three times, lecturing to the inmates and he had so excited them that his relatives had been obliged to hire a keeper. Robert Strub was that keeper. ' With the years rapidly rolling by, tastes and customs change. French pastries used to be the vogue, but since Arpad Sarka had introduced his Greek confections, French desserts had been forgotten. Sarka,s famous cooking drew many to the New Secor where he was the head chef. V You may wonder that I thought the discovering of your futures was worth adding twenty years to my age. Don't give me too much credit. VVhile walking down Adams Street, I saw a sign reading, Valiquette's Beauty Parlors-Come in and Let Us Remove Ten Years from Your Face? I went there twice and thus I lost the twenty years I had added by plunging into the Fountain of Age. So you see I gained a true insight into your future, yet I lost nothing of my youth, after all. 1I4UCRETIA ELIZABETH ABBOTT. .3525 iffeft' 70 Purple and Gold Wrlitc High School Nineteen-twenty 1 ff is - 1-, gc l f we X a 'f'1' 1 .

Burns, from America, and his daughter, Miss Jacqueline Burns, arrived in Japan, May the twenty-fifth. They are staying at the Oiwake Hotelf, Mr. Burns had found an easy chair on the veranda of the hotel where he sat smoking the afternoon away. Beside him sat a young American man whose tanned complexion marked the stay of a long time in tropical Japan. He sat there reading the newspaper, as if it were possible for him to make out those queer characters. Mr. Burns was bubbling over for want of a conversation with him. Would he ever get through reading that paper? 'Just as he had made up his mind to interrupt the reader, the young man turned to him, point- ing to the paper, and asked: . L'Pa1-don me, sirg but are you this Mr. Burns PU lim Mr. Burns, sir, but how do you find me in that conglomeration of print? Mr. Burns, lim glad to know you. Kranstan, is my name. I'm the American consul for this district. The two men arose from their chairs to shake hands. A flourishing con- versation ensued, which was interrupted by the approach of a slender, graceful young woman, the fairness of whose complexion was accentuated by a wealth of soft black hair. Mr. Kranstan, I want you to meet my daughter, Miss Burns. How do you do? l'm pleased to know you, seemed to come in contralto and soprano tones at the same moment. How do you like Japan, Miss Burns Fl' 7l Purple and Gold Waite High School Nineteen-twenty Oh! Hasn't father told you? 'iYes. He did say he would have to sail back with you. I just can't stand these thin walled hotels, with sharp brown eyes peering through every crevice. I haven't a moment of privacy. I detest Japan! I dreamed of seeing artistic cottages and beautiful gardens, and here are the ugly buildings crammed in these narrow streets. I'm sorry, Miss Burns, you're so wrought up over this disappointment. As to these buildings, they aren,t tl1e property of the Japanese, but they belong to the foreigners who built them there to take in the good money of Japan, and they give her this ugliness, due to her ignorance. The Japanese, you know, are superstitious about 'going into businessf If you came to Japan to see scenery, you must go into the countryf, Mr. Burns said in reply, Jacqueline has come to Japan for ideas in Japanese customs, which she wishes to use for a tea room. Her grandfather left l1er a little property on the Maumee river, near Napoleon, Ohio, which she wishes to beautify, she says, 'in artistic Japanese style.' I believe she could have found better 'style' in Perrysburgf' Jacqueline perceived that Mr. Kranstan was thinking, and she did not disturb him. I have a brilliant idea, Miss Burns. I'm living at the house of Yezo Tangsu, up in the mountain near Yomoto, a city on Lake Chuzenji. Tangsu has a beautiful place and I shall ask him whether he will be able to accommo- date you and your father also. Iill tell him that you want to be inspired by the beauty of his gardens. That will flatter him, and I feel sure he'll be pleased. Miss Burns, I have found Yomoto the prettiest place in Japan. You will enjoy the trip up the mountain, through the forest to the lake five thousand feet above the sea. 4 Mr, Kranstan, that's the most thrilling thot Iive had! I think it would be wonderful 1 Mr. Kranstan left, returning the next day with the news that Tangsu was Udelightfulee plaisedf, Mr. Burns and Jacqueline packed their trunks, giving them to a coolie,,' advanced for Yomoto, guided by Roger Kranstan. VVhat a delight it was to Jacqueline to leave the hated city and climb the moss covered steps through the bamboo forest up Mt. Nanti San. The smell of the moist earth was deliciously refreshing, and the cool shade was restful to her weary nerves. At last they reached the artistic cottages of which Jacqueline had so long dreamed. They walked through the town Yomoto and Jacqueline was growing tired and anxious to arrive at her destination, however, Mr. Kranstan guided them still farther into another woody lane. Jacqueline, in despair, was ready to exclaim that she could go no farther, when she caught sight of the dearest Japanese cottage, built on a cleared space in the woods. Right beyond it was blue-the water of Lake Chuzenji. . 72 Purple and Gold Waite High School Nineteen-twenty Why, Mr. Kranstan, what beautiful flowers! They're iris! And those pretty pink blossoms! Wliat kind of tree is that ? Plum. So you do like Japan, Miss Burns P At the moment a stout Jap appeared before them. Miss Burns and Mr. Burns, I wish you to meet Yezo Tangsu. 1 Mr. Burns extended his hand, but Tangsu was bowing low. The Ameri- cans perceived it better to follow this custom in their turn. Tangsu arose with the queerest babbling Jacqueline had ever heard. She was able to understand only his welcoming smile and gestures which were meant to invite them into the house. Tangsu entered, and sat on the floor, saying, Delightedlee. Tea ? He motioned for them to sit on the floor, and they complied. Tangsu took a little tea pot from a little charcoal stove and poured one cup of tea which he passed to Mr. Burns, who drank it. Pouring more in the same cup, Tangsu passed it to Jacqueline, who did as her father had done. Kranstan drank after her, and lastly, Tangsu. Tangsuithen passed a pipe in like manner for each to take one puff. Jacquelineis refusal to smoke caused excited babbling from Tangsu. This warned her against breaking peace in his house, accord- ingly, she was forced to puff at the dirty old thing in spite of her show of innocence. When Jacqueline and her father arose from their cramped positions, Tangsu called, Yoto 5 The call was responded to by a pretty little Japanese lady with sparkling eyes. Tangsu introduced her as My girl, Yoto. Jacqueline stepped forward and took the tiny hand. Yoto, I hope we shall be friends. Yoto fairly beamed and showed her pretty white teeth as she said, Surlee, Miss Bur-r-ns. The days passed quickly in this garden of plum blossoms. Yoto and Jacqueline loved to walk in the lanes along the lake to chat. One day was especially memorable, because the girls told life secrets. On this particular day, they sat on a rustic bench which overlooked the lake. Did Jacqueline ever see such marvelous scenery? Had she ever been with such a fascinating little being as this dainty girl, clothed in a silk kimona, embroidered in wild roses? And did she ever hear of such strange customs? Yoto, how did your father come to own such a beautiful garden? Yoto's grandfather broke ceremony. He not like wicked way. He knew he was going to die. He tol' magistrate he should not bury hees servants alive when he die. He say it was wicked. He tol' that all money and hees house go to Tangsu. Why, Yoto, did they really bury men alive ? 73 Purple and Gold lflfaiie High School Nineteen-twenty i'Yees. They thought it right to let dead man take all he own with him. I wondered why they never turned the gardens up side down. There was silence a moment, then Yoto spoke. lim so sad, Miss Jacqueleen. I think I wonlt live more. Why, Yoto, tell me, are you sick?U No, me just sorry. I kill myself for it maybe. Shima is a butcher in Toshag he sell nasty meat, he strong, he wicked. He marry me I'm eighteen. June the twentieth Ilm eighteen. When Yoto was three weeks old she was sold to Shima for most money. Tangsu no care for me, just for money. Yoto, Yoto, you dear child, I wish I could take you home with me l You have Yoto go with you? Yes, Yoto, would you? Yoto would. Jacqueline told this unfortunate girl of America and American love. She told Yoto of the man she loved. I went to college, Yoto, where I met a very fine young man, Mercer Chesterfield, whom I loved very much. Mercer loved me too, Yoto, and asked me to marry him, but I never promised that I really would. At the end of my four years at college, I left, telling him that he was too poor, for I realized that I was a banker's daughter, accustomed to every thing I wished, and I feared I should not be happy with him. I tried to forget him that summer, Yoto, but I never knew until I was actually without him, how much I needed him. This last winter I have been heart-sick, yet I wouldn't write for him to come to me. I decided then that I must do something to occupy my mind. I begged father to bring me to Japan to learn your customs, that I might build a Japanese tea room on my return to America. Jacqueleen, you naughty girl. I know of American love too. Jacqueline didn't seem to understand her meaning, she was dreaming of Mercer again, her big, stalwart Mercer. Why hadnit she realized that she would never find such love again? The days rolled on, and as Roger Kranstan became better acquainted with Jacqueline, he fell in love with her. They spent much time together. He had not met a true American girl so sweet and so charming as Jacqueline any- where in Japan, perhaps, not in the world. It is true he loved Yoto, loved to teach her to speak English, loved to instruct her in American ways, yes, truly, he loved to teach her American love. Yoto became very much in love with Roger, she hoped he would take her away from the claws of Shima. Yoto Was ever watchful of Roger and had been jealous since Jaqueline had come. Never- theless, the more Roger thought of Jacqueline, the more he thought it a sin against his race to marry Yoto. The days were drawing nigh unto the twentieth of June. When was Jacqueline going to leave? Wlould she take Yoto from the country or would 74 Purple and Gold Waite High School Nineteen-twenty Roger be able to leave his consular post and take Yoto away? She would never get out of Shima's house, once she was in it, not even to walk through her pretty garden again. Action must come, and it came. One night after their rice and tea, Roger took Jacqueline by the arm, and without a word, led her into the garden. The rest of the family were preparing for bed. Mr. Burns had been feeling the change in climate and Jacqueline had become tired and heated from waiting on him the last few days. It was nearing the time when they were to leave Japan and Roger wished for a few words alone with Jacqueline. They walked along the mossy paths, the clear moon shone over the lake through the tree branches. Jacqueline longed for Mercer's presence, to drive away her lonliness. In fact, this walk with Roger pleased her, and she put her dainty white arm through his as they strolled silently along. Suddenly Roger stood still, and said, very earnestly, Jacqueline, these have been blissful days for me. I canit tell you what pleasure your dear person has given me. Jacqueline did not speak. Jacqueline, I love you! Her heart seemed to stop beating. VVas she thrilled or was she afraid? She knew now-she was afraid. Roger drewvher in his arms. A kiss Jacqueline P She turned her head away. She could have criedg oh, why wasn't Roger, Mercer? Her heart seemed to beat out these words: Mercer, Mercer, if you only could hear my sobsln No, she would not kiss Roger, she had saved her kisses for Mercer and she was going to keep them for him. She looked upf and saw a figure moving behind the trees. It was Yoto, she thought. This frightened Jacqueline for she remembered, Yoto know of American love, too.', Could it be that Yoto loved Roger? Jacqueline started hurriedly toward the cottage, followed by Roger, who was ignorant of the fact that Yoto had been watching. ' Let us learn something of Mercer. Mercer had learned of Jacqueline's trip to Japan. He loved her, he wished he had money enough for her. A great idea came to Mercer, however. He had read of the great need of sanitation, to purify water in Japan. Babies, dishes and clothes were washed all in the same stream as it ran down a mountain. The family living highest up would get the best choice, but those living at the bottom did not fare so well. lf Mercer could undertake to establish a water system that would furnish each house with pure water, he would be able to give one of the greatest aids-Sani- tation, to an ignorant country. Mercer Chesterfield sailed for Japan in great hopes of success in his plans and success-in finding Jacqueline. On the day of his arrival in Tosha, he inquired at the Oiwake Hotel concerning Mr. Burns and his daughter. 75 Purple and Gold Waite High School Nineteen-twenty Learning of their lodging at Tangsu, he was eager to get one glimpse of Jacqueline, and he was determined to go up the mountain to do so. He started at sunset to climb the mossy steps up that beautifully wooded mountain. The soft reflection on the trees from that red sun in the west thrilled his lonely heart. Perhaps he would see Jacqueline in the garden, maybe he would even talk to her. On his lonely way up to distant Yomoto, he would say half aloud, Jacqueline, dear Jacqueline, I'm coming. At the point of Mercer's journey, when he was nearer to Yomoto than he was to Tosha, a strong wind sprang up, which made it hardly able for him to push forward. He would brave it, regardless of the peril! The wind howled, the lightning flashed, the rain came down in torrents. He pushed on and came in sight of the lake, the furious wind seemed to swoop down in its depths and toss its angry waters. He followed the path to Tongsu's and stopped within sight of the cottage. A figure stood in the open door way, he heard him say, Ah! It's a wicked night! A night for murderll' The figure withdrewg Mercer advanced to peek in, but it was useless, for the Windows were shuttered upg however, he was close enough to hear voices. As he leaned his drenched body against the building, he was able to distinguish what was said Within. He heard a man's voice. This storm is probably only up in tl1e mountain. This is an angry lake. The wind will die out by morning, calm your fears, Jacquelinef' I can't! I'm going down to the village, I can't stand this stormf, No, you must not go, my daughter, you would be drenched. You would be frightened to death, walking down that mountain, alone, in this storm! I shall be glad to take her down, Mr. Burns. It,s foolish! Nonsense! Go to bed, Jacqueline, and sleep your fears away. Goodnight, Jacqueline. Try to forget your fears. The talking ceased. The speakers must have gone to bed, Mercer would better start back. VVhat was that P-a woman's figure had brushed through the door. Another figure followed, running as if to jump. Mercer saw in a flash that the latter had a dagger in her up-raised hand! He dashed forward, grasped the springing figure and the up-raised hand, thus saving from death none other than-Jacqueline Burns. Jacqueline turned instantly at the noise behind her. She beheld Yoto's figure squirmming under the firm grip of a manls hand. Innocent of Yotois intention, she must save her. Release her ! she cried. ' Not now, Jacquelinef' His voice was full of love. Jacqueline's breath seemed leaving her body, she swayed, Mercer curved his free arm, and she fell within it. Yoto's sorry! Shejealous. Forgive. 76 Purple and Gold Waite High School Nineteen-twenty Yoto burst into tears. Even though 'Mercer unconsciously let go of her in the act of lifting Jacqueline in his arms, Yoto stood close, ready to serve. She saw the strong man tenderly kiss the lips of the unconscious girl, lying in his arms. Yoto opened the door of the cottage, and Mercer carried Jacqueline in and laid her on the mat on the Hoor. Her eyes opened and she smiled when she beheld Mercer's face again, after this long year. 'KMercer-you dear. The storm quieted during the night, and, in the morning, the faithful sun shone on the refreshed earth. Mercer was made welcome at Tangsu. Through Jacqueline's Christian love, she had forgiven Yoto, assuring the latter, Mercer, and not Roger, was her lover. Yoto was sorry and promised she would ever after obey God's commandments. That evening found four lovers in the garden of Tangsu. Mercer, forgive me. I know now I love you. Yoto and Roger strolled arm in arm to where Jacqueline and Mercer were seated, engaged in earnest conversation. Roger broke in to say: VVhen will you be leaving Japan?,' Mercer replied, On the next boat. That will be in two days. I am glad to invite you and Miss Yoto to attend our wedding in Tosha, tomorrowf, We should be glad to witness your marriage, Mr. Chesterfield, but we came to ask a favor. Wlould you care to have a double Wedding ? VVhy, you dear people! Congratulations ! exclaimed Jacqueline. ' Two days had passed, the ocean liner had steamed out of the harbor of Japan with Mr. and Mrs. Mercer Chesterfield, Mr. and Mrs. Roger Kranstan, and Mr. C. L. Burns on board, sailing for America, and the heart of Yoto was full of joy and thankfulness at her escape from the dreaded marriage to Shima. INIARTHA SULLIVAN. :Qs ty. -4? 77 Purple and Gold lVaitAe High School Nineteen-twenty Pete and I were sitting before an oriental hotel leisurely smoking and talking. Dusk was fast falling, as we enjoyed the balmy and richly essenced air wafted to us from the flowery gardens of India. Pete, ever since that native mentioned the wishing-well, I have desired to visit it. Today, our ambassador confirmed the words of tl1e native, conse- quently I have determined to see its wonders. As we have nothing particular to do, let us go to the wishing-well tonight. At my companion's cheerful assent, we arose and strolled slowly down tI1e verdurous path. Here it is 'I I exclaimed as we ai roached a roof-covered stone well. I J 'gNow all one has to do is to make a wish, and on the clear blue waters below will appear the answering vision. But, what shall We wish for Pi' asked Pete, looking at me inquiringly. I know, I exclaimed as I addressed the well, O Mystic VVell, let us see our school-life once again. W'e looked eagerly into the well, as a misty vision grew steadily more and more distinct. W'hy, itls old lVaite, burst out my companion. Look, there is the Bowl,-butwhy are all those children swarming into the building? The date, September 17, 1916, appeared in response. Suddenly, a roomful of familiar faces appeared on the water below. It's 178, said Pete. Look, there are Russell lVebster and George Hunter in short trousers, with their diplomas in their hands. Donlt they look cute? A ' Near them, I saw Howard Nauts, sporting a red necktie, which his class- mates were admiring. At the rear of the room I saw Lucretia Abbott spreading some newly acquired gossip by weird motions of her hand and emphatic nods 78 Purple and Gold Wfaite High School Nineteen-twenty of her head, to an interested group of listeners, among whom were Myrtle Sanzenbacher, Mildred Pasch, Florence lVoods and Doris Nelson. The next scene showed Mr. Pollock explaining some matter with untiring effort. Then as the light dawned upon his listeners, those seated began to search for pencils, while those along the walls betook themselves to other rooms. Next we saw little .lack Davies and Robert Stitt, hand in hand, running about the crowded halls. Now and then, they would stop to compare the number of a room with that on a slip of paper and then in disgust they would hurry on. The scene changed. Now a class of physiology under Miss Gates was experimenting in the laboratory. Howard Trautwein was vainly looking through a microscope, while his hand wandered into the drawer to his supply of candy. Seeing Elenore Durian fail to adjust her instrument, he proudly offered his services and then spent half an hour in fruitless work. Another vision presented Mr. Gregg's algebra class. Sitting in the middle of the room was Horace Donegan, showing his new shell-rimmed glasses to Leona Stockton and Martha Sullivan. The next reflection indicated that a period of several months had passed. Along the third iloor, groups had formed, showing one another their grade cards. At the girls' end of the hall could be seen Charlotte Meagher, sur- rounded by a questioning group, for she had received four A's. At the boys' end stood Robert Maginnis, loudly condemning a certain teacher. Our brilliantly lighted auditorium was the scene of the next three pictures. The Vaudeville Shown was now shown on the watery sheet. Although Fresh- men, the performers possessed dramatic talent. Roy Milbourne, wl1o was wearing the wig of a lowly 'negro upon his noble brow, was now entertaining us. His jokes were, evidently well appreciated, for Robert Babione and Roland Ilirkenkamp, who were sitting in the front row, were in convulsions of laughter. The next vision displayed our great Basketball Team, standing on the stage telling us how they would play at the Chicago tournament. The Roman Saturnalian Festival then appeared, a capacity audience could be seen. The Freshmen held their heads high for many of their 'classmates were in the play. Each -succeeding scene added to each Freshman's store of knowledge. Finally, June 17, 1917, appeared. .Ioy was now written on all Freshmen faces, for they were Freshmen no longer. After the well had remained in darkness for a few moments, another vision appeared. It needed no explanation, for I remembered that day, as September 12, 1917. The lower hall was crowded with boys and girls walking about, arm in arm. There were no longer timid looks upon their faces. Indeed, some were bold enough to haze the Freshmen, for I saw a barefooted Freshman come down the stairs and go outside to find l1is shoes, wl1icl1 had been dropped from the third floor. 79 Purple and Gold Waite High School Nineteen-twenty In the following picture, I saw the Sophomores assembled in Room 644. Mr. Travis, whom I remember as more willing to discuss a felloW's troubles with him than to give him penalties, stood before them explaining something. The Sophomores went about their work systematically. Suddenly, from below flashed a vision of the Service Flag, which I remember hanging opposite the front door of Room 126. There were 185 stars in a field of white, representing both instructors and students who went as true patriots, giving their unseliish services to Uncle Sam. . Several pictures followed in rapid succession, showing different rooms, where collections were being made, for the purpose of buying bonds and stamps to support the boys who had joined the colors. The Auditorium was the scene next presented. The Waite Orchestra was playing while the entertainment, The Bells of Corneville, 'was given very elaborately and entertainingly. Then followed the Trial by Jury,H also very well given. Another group of pictures appeared, in which I saw many girls knitting for the Red Cross. Some girls knitted even while walking about the halls. The fad, evidently, had attracted James Feak, for I saw his picture on the sheet below, endeavoring to wield the needles properly. Another scene presented our High School Cadets. I saw Charles Charvat intently looking at his feet, as he walked, trying to decide which was l1is right foot. Near him stood .lack VVilliams regarding his unfortunate companion with mischievous delight. . The last scene was in Room 126. As I looked over the perspiring roomful of students taking their examinations, I laughed, as I recalled my own troubles. Following closely the Sophomore year came the Junior. I saw the boys and girls assembled in Room 126 under Mr. Mathias. But no sooner was the class organized, then it was dismissed, on account of an epidemic of the influenza. The following picture indicated that a month had elapsed before school had again commenced. The next vision recalled most vivid memories. It was at Swayne Field, the bleachers were a mass of waving colors. People had come to see Waite win from Scott at last. But again, they were doomed to disappointment, for the element of luck entered the game and Scott won. Then came a gay scene. It was tl1e JH hop at the Woman's -Building, The hall was decorated with the allied war colors. Several pictures in the auditorium displayed first, the Swiss Bell Ringers, and secondly, the play, 'fThe Princess of Kamakuraxw In the latter, I saw Ethel Nviles, Constance VVegman and Bernice VVilliams, members of the Junior Class, who displayed remarkable talent. 80 Purple and Gold Waite High School Nineteen-twenty Next I saw Mr. Pollock sitting in the principalis chair. Mr. Gayman, after many years of well-accomplished and well-appreciated work, had resigned to take a position at the Toledo Computing Scale Co. Mr. Pollock was appointed to take his place, to the great delight of all at Yvaite. A series of pictures now followed, in which was shown the well-planned entertainment for our soldier boys. Our Campus was now displayed. The entire school was assembled there, while Mr. Van Cleve planted trees in memory of George Fisher, Walter Goorley and Lieutenant. Roosevelt. The final scenes showed the students holding celebrations, for, due to the epidemic, the examinations were eliminated. VVithout delay, visions of the Senior year appeared below, signifying, no doubt, that the well wished to complete its long, yet pleasurable task. The Scene below now displayed a finished product in those who had survived from the green, untrimmed crowd of four years previous. As we gazed, I saw some sights which interested me greatly. I saw Benj. Kievit puzzling his well- ordered mind, trying to solve the eternal feminine. He had grown from a mere stripling to a well-knit young man. Next I saw Clyde Kiker establishing his reputation as an authority on the United States Postofiice System before an interested crowd. The scene changed abruptly, from that of the school to a football Held. The stands of the Scott field were packed and masses of gay colors were stream- ing everywhere. VVaite and Scott were again at their annual fray. VVhat a bat- tle it was! Waite, rising from defeat, their hearts coursing with awakened hope, fought like tigers. Time and time again, the masses of colors swayed, as Colvin tried for the last time by his crashing tackles, to stop Scott. But all was of no avail. Dame Fortune smiled again on Scottg and Waite, proud of her team and its spirit, accepted her fate, and looked once more toward the future. A cherished remembrance was recalled by the next picture. I was sitting in tl1e English VIII class, behind the pupil in question, whose mind at that moment was far from the class room. Suddenly his dreams were rudely broken. Edward, what's the reference of the passage, 'Loaves and Fishes ?' U asked Miss Dunlap. V Lamb scratching his head replied, It has reference to the 'Las-t Supper., 'fOh, Edwardj, exclaimed Miss Dunlap, sinking back as if thunderstruck. VVhoever heard of such a thing? Ever after, Edward was regarded as an authority on the Bible. As I looked at the next picture, I thought I was in a theatre on Broadway, but on closer observation I recognized our auditorium. On the stage were actors chiefly of the Senior Class, enacting the sacred drama, The Appeal to Caesarf' Among the most talented, I recognized students who had taken part in previous 8l Purple and Gold TVaitP High School Nineteen-twenty entertainmentsg but, now, what a change. Tl1e contrast was beyond words. Two successive performances were given, on April 16 and 17. The entertain- ment was one of the best given at VVaite, and, I recalled, that its success was due to the untiring work of Mr. Van Deusen. The Senior prom was presented next. The lfVoman's Building, beautifully decorated, was the place of enjoyment. On three successive class days, standing at the library window, I had watched that boat go down the river and now, I was to go as a member of the Senior class. All hearts gave way to pleasure for soon we were to part and school days would be no more. Oh, what a day we made of it! The next vision and the last, was one that I have often recalled. Seated in the front rows, we listened to the addresses which brought forth common thoughts to all the seniors. VVe were soon to start out sorrowing to leave, yet glad to go to perform the tasks laid out by the Almighty. lVithin a few years we should be scattered broadcast but each one of the class of 1920 would forever be under tl1e watchful eye of our Alma Mater. As the surface of the well darkened and became empty of figures, I looked at Pete, whom I had forgotten. He smiled back at me and said in a husky voice, I wish we could live those years over again. I, too, I replied.

Teachers and Classmates -' Is it not fitting to ponder a moment before we pass into the world outside? For some, graduation marks the end of an educational career, for others, it is but the end of the preparation for higher education. For all of us, however, it is the close of an important chapter in our lives. The splendid co-operation of the class, the faculty, and the entire student body has made it a most pleasant chapter. It is not the end of our storyg June the seventeenth but marks the 'icommencementu of a greater, broader life. In taking farewell of our instructors who have faithfully accompanied us, it is only fitting that we give to them our thanks. VVith mere words, we cannot show our true appreciation of their devotion, and we take leave of them with sincere wishes for their future happiness and welfare. Now, as never before, the world recognizes the value of the well-trained man and woman. The day has arrived when the worth of the man is not based upon his dollars, but upon his value as a man. Is he giving his best to humanity? Does he appreciate the greater things of life? Does he know his fellow-men and love them? The man at a premium is not he who lives for himself, with selfish, narrow visiong but it is he who works for his fellows and lives for them, giving each day his best and fullest that he may the better serve his stewardship here. Thus do we see him grow in spirit, until the noble and true are his enjoyment and his life. An intimate acquaintance with nature, science, the lives of great men and women, and the fine arts as well as with the practical business of every day life, maketh him a full man. IVhen this type of man is in such great demand, can we rightfully ignore Duty, or do aught butprepare ourselves for the tasks that confront us? VVe must recognize that we shall each of us, soon become an integral part in the community in which we live. Inseparable with the privileges which will be granted to each of us, must come the duty and sacrifice. In the secluded academic life there is not always the opportunity to take part in the secular affairs. VVe should, however, observe with that impartiality, which ought to characterize us throughout life, the business of the work-a-day world. Not in 83 Purple and Gold Waite High School Nineteen-twenty our experience, or the lack of it, shall we Hnd our inspiration, but in the chronicles of our fore-fathers. VVe are proud of our nation's record, and of its ideals. Truly, my dear classmates, we must help to carry on that clear-thinking, strong manhood of which our country has long been so proud. It was such an ideal, such a hope, and such faith that took Americans across the sea to battle. There is now the pleasure of accomplishment which comes with the knowledge that the world has rid itself, in large measure, of that autocratic, despotic power which sought to dominate the world. That part of the work has been done, it remains for us to cherish those noble ideals, to preserve which countless lives have been given. Let us adapt our class motto to our lives, believing always, that with the knowledge of the world, a greater knowledge of truth is made possible. As the curtain rings down upon the activities of the class of nineteen-hundred and twenty, let a solemn prayer go up from our thankful hearts. We have fought a good fight, we now come where we may well say 'Tarewelli' to the Morrison R. Waite High School.

In this year with the assistance of Professor Rex Wells, eighteen boys organized the society. Here it continued until the building ceased to be used for high school purposes. It was then transferred to old Central High School for a brief period, after which it found its permanent home in the new Waite building, which was completed in 1913. ' Through these fifteen years, the society has had an honorable career, pros- pering beyond the expectation of the most sanguine. There have been times of defeat as well as times of triumph, but of these there is no complaint. The aim has been to develop fellowship and leadership, which purpose has been accom- plished to a satisfactory degree. An inspection of the class oHLicers, of the Retina and Annual Boards, of the athletic leaders and of other prominent characters will reveal the fact that the majority of them are loyal members of the Forum. , In the year which is drawing to a close, tl1e Forum has maintained past standards. Splendid programs on Alaska, Burbank and Pershing, Australia, Ireland and Music have been given. The joint meetings and debates with Zetalethean and Quill and Dagger societies have been pleasant and profitable. The Forum also promulgated and assisted in presenting the drama K'The Appeal to Caesar. This was a notable occasion and displayed a splendid spirit of co-operation as did also the formation of an i'All lVaite Debating Tearuf' The Forum also has established other precidents for the year in participating in a joint meeting and in a dance with the VVebsters of Scott. These events were both enjoyable occasions, showing that the Hhatchet can be buried, when necessary. This dance, held at the close of the year, was tl1e climax of the Waite social affairs. Last but not least, Forumites will long remember the banquet which was held early in June to commemorate the close of a successful year. The following toast could be proposed: Here's to the society we all love well. May she continue to perform her duty in years to come as well as in the past, training leaders, who can move the masses with logic and cunning arguments, yielding a lasting influence for all that is noblest, for all that is best and making for a higher citizenship, a safer and happier America.

But it was quite a different society from what it is now. Miss Grace Gibson and eight young girls from the East Side Central School banded together for the purpose of becoming better acquainted with literature, music, and art. They called themselves the Margaret Fuller Society. In the course of a few years the society was moved to Central High School and finally to lfVaite, where the name was changed to the Zetalethean Literary Society. And now we have many things to be proud of in our society. First of all, think of our members! Many of them have helped to make this annual what it is, and others are members of the Retina board, heads of the various depart- ments, members of the Girls' Basketball team and, furthermore, our Vice- President is Secretary of the Senior Class. VVe have not only derived such benefits as better knowledge of oratory, debating, and current events, but our members have enjoyed more and better social times than ever before. We have had our usual spreads and informal dances, and also holiday parties, and theater parties. In addition to these there are three annual functions: The dance of the four Literary Societies, the farewell party to the Seniors, and the banquet given at the close of the year, which is attended by all the members and critics. Altogether this year has been one of the most successful in the history of the Zetaletheans.

The Q Sz D is the emblem 0f.Friendship, Fraternity, Endeavor and Achievement. It is composed of conscientious members who are giving their best for VVaite on the football and basketball field, in dramatics, in orations, in literary work and music. The aggressive students of 1914+ gave it the constitution and by-laws that have proven the foundation of its strength and achievement. The members ,of the society have conducted the activities with so much spirit and enthusiasm that success has been the crown of their efforts. Over thirty-three per cent of its members are letter men in either football or basketball. It has placed its quota on the debating team, on the Annual and Retina Board, and in all other organizations. Since an amendment to the constitution permits the society a membership of forty it has increased its membership to the number permitted. The new members have been recruited largely from the lower classmen to insure a quorum of active members at all times to conduct the society in such a way that it will be a benefit to its members collectively and individually. i The Annual Dance given at the Womanls Building on March 31 was a triumph in social activities. It was a good demonstration of Quill and Dagger enthusiasm and. unity of endeavor. A feeling of gaiety and care-free merri- ment predominated everywhere. The Annual Banquet is always one of the greatest meetings of the Q Sz D because it brings to the surface the feeling of respect, fraternity, and of mutual assistance that exists among the members. It is a manifestation of the clean sportsman-like way in which all the activities of the society are carried out. The regular weekly meetings of the society have been conducted in such a way as to give the members a clear conception of parliamentary procedure and laws. Music, orations, debates, literary compositions, and comics have been among the numbers given on the programs from time to time. But to measure the capacity of the Quill and Dagger Literary Society, make a survey of its achievements and it is quite certain that everyone will agree that it is one of the greatest institutions of 'Waite High School.

For over nineteen years this society has been in existence in Toledo schools. There are now two chapters, the Alpha and Beta chapters of Scott and VVaite respectively. Although the name indicates that this is a study club, this is not entirely true. Each year besides the joint luncheon at the VVoman's Club with the Scott Pericleans, there are spreads, theater parties, an annual dance and a yearly excursion to Sugar Island. Aside from these pleasures, the regular meetings held every other Friday are both entertaining and educational. The subjects are arranged by our censor, carried out by our members and corrected by a competent staff of critics chosen from the faculty.

At the beginning of the year we adopted for our slogan, Don't wait for a personal invitation, and we have grown from a club of but twenty-eight to one of one hundred and two live, active members. I WVe have held our meetings at 7:30 o'clock every other Saturday evening at the YL M. C. A., under the supervision of Mr. Warr of the Boys' Division. The program committee, headed by J. Max Shepherst, arranged a great many excellent programs, and the social committee, under Samuel Lynn, saw that refreshments were a part of each meeting. - The club had a meeting during the vacation at the country home of George Booth. Nearly every member was present and all had a good time. At the Hrst meeting after school started Coach Rupp talked to the club. Among other speakers who talkeduto 'us during the year are: Prof. Rex W. Wells, Rev. S. K. Mahon, lNlr.'Mark Winchester, Mr. Nevin O.

The Club also enjoyed a hike, a boxing tourney and two great banquets. The Hi-Y Club is now, undisputably the largest, livest organization in VVaite Hi and will undoubtedly continue to be so next year, and those that follow.

All girls who had an average of B in English were eligible for membership. With the aid of Miss Collins they soon succeeded in their enterprise. The member- ship was left open for about six weeks, so that all girls desiring to enroll might be given this opportunity. A At the second meeting the name Aloha was adopted and the constitution was drawnup. The first semester was' spent in procuring members and preparing for the second semester. The general topics of the meetings have been the study of the most prominent American authors. Among those who have been discussed are: Irving, Hawthorne, Kipling, Harriet Beecher Stowe, O. Henry and Poe, which have been criticized by Miss VVaite, Miss Nelson and Miss Kimble. The colors, Green and Gold were selected: the first because of its relation to the Freshmen, the second taken from the school colors. The pins and motto Interest Freshmen in VVaiteg Interest VVaite in the Freshmen are very suitable. Our policy has not been all work, for we believe in the old saying, All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy. Therefore in addition we have enjoyed many social events, such as parties, luncheons and spreads. We do not expect to do as much as we would like to during our Freshmen year. By the time we are seniors we hope that the Freshmen Society of 1923 will be able to compete with other organizations. lVill XVaite High School help us to carry out our motto?

The membership is nearly twice as large as ever before. This great increase is due, perhaps, to the splendid ability of the president, Edythe Bumgardner. Miss Brown carried on the Bible study this year by a series of short talks on the Old Testament. Miss Neville gave a talk on health, and Miss Pray gave a very interesting talk on the Passion Play. Miss Goodall and Mrs. Rynder gave talks on social and Welfare work. The girls of the club made some very clever scrap-books for the children in the hospital, and a delightful Christmas party was given for the Girl Reserves of Birmingham School to show them a real American good time. The Friendship Club entertained the Hi Y Club at the Y. W. C. A. on April 10. The party was a splendid success and everyone present had a very delightful evening. Numerous other parties, hikes, and roller skating made up the social affairs of the year. l53 Purple and Gold Tllaite High School Nineteen-twenty W . I The Waite High Girl Scouts The Waite High Girl Scouts, Troop 38, were organized last October by Mrs. L. C. Jackson, local director. The oflicers are' Amy Mills, leader of Patrol Ig Myrtle Furman, leader of Patrol II and Helen Ewing, leader of Patrol III. Mary Witlierell is scribe, Miss Jeanette Collins, captain, and Miss Laura Pafenbach, lieutenant. On Saturday, February 28, the troop presented the play A Good Scout, in the auditorium of the Lasalle 81 Koch building. This play was written for the Waite girls by Miss Constance Mackaye, the Well-known authoress of Boston. Mabel Swineliart of Patrol II, won Hrst prize in the essay contest, conducted by the Toledo Commerce Club for boy and girl scouts. The scout motto is HB6 Prepared. Their promise is: On my honor I will try to do my duty to God and my country, to help other people at all times and to obey the Scout laws. I54 Purple and Gold Waite High School Nineteen-twenty -. . .- , The English VIII Club The English VIII Classes have again organized into a club consisting of the Alpha, Beta and Gamma chapters. The meetings are held every other Friday by the respective classes. The programspare similar to those of the literary societies, Miss Dunlap as censor, assigning the subj ects. . Each Chapter has its own officers, but unlike the usual practice, the of'Hces of president, vice-president and secretary are rotary, that of the treasurer, only, being permanent. This method gives an opportunity to a great number of students to learn how to preside over a body and how to record the minutes of a meeting. Dues are collected at each meeting, and, at the end of the year, the money will be used for some worthy purpose. Two years ago the amount thus obtained was given to the work of the Red Cross in Toledo. The sum collected last year is still unused, but it was hoped it might be applied toward some memorial of the service rendered in the VVorld War, by the boys of Morrison R. Waite High School. The organization is enthusiastically supported by all. This club work is helpful, also, in that it accustoms the members to speak at ease in public.

A tennis club was organized in March for the promotion of tennis in the high schools and to develop teams to participate in the local and state tournaments. Tennis is without doubt one of the best games of which a high school can boast, as it gives the girls and boys an equal chance to participate. The club was organized on the faint hope of having four courts built on the VVaite campus. An appropriation was made by the Board of Education for the erection of backstops and other equipment. Tennis, like other sports, will come under the control of the Athletic Association and will be encouraged as a part of the regular athletic program of Vvaite. 157 Purple and Gold PVa,ite High School Nineteen-twenty Debating Team In the early part of the second semester a series of debates were held to select an all-VVaite debating team. Four teams were selected from the four literary societies and were matched to determine the ability of the prospective candidates for the all-Wfaite team. After the series of debates were finished the five judges met and cast. votes for the five debaters that they considered the best of the twelve that took part. Those selected were Abraham Smith, Myrtle Sanzenbacher, Clyde Kiker, Charlotte Meagher and Edward Lamb. The' team might be considered mythical, as they were never given a chance to show their skill outside of school. 158 ' Purple and Gold Waite High School Nineteen-twenty The Appeal to Caesar One of the notable events of the year was the play given by the four literary societies, on the nights of the sixteenth and seventeenth of April. The Appeal to Caesar was a story of the Apostle Paul's trial before Nero. The life and customs of,the time were well portrayed by the cast of about seventy-tive students, under the direction of Mr. John G. Van Deusen. The part of Nero was played With exceptional talent by Loyal Nofziger. That of Paul was played by Roy, Milbourne With great success. A feature of the play was an Egyptian dance by Myrtle Sanzenbacher, also another dance given by Con- stance Wegman and Isabel VValters. The entertainment displayed dramatic talent and will probably create a greater interest in school plays. 159 Purple and Gold Ufaite High School.

One-half of the time is given to practical work, demonstrations and proceedure in home care of the sick. It is instruction in how to take care of children, how to assist the doctor and trained nurse, how to prevent disease in the home, and so help establish high standards of health in the home and community. The chief aim of this course is to teach girls how to handle the common problems relating to care of the body, and social relationships of life, so that they will be fitted to take charge of a home. This course is not strictly vocational in the sense that it leads directly to employment, although one object is to train girls to appreciate the necessity of education, so that they will be more capable of choosing a vocation. The course is open to Junior and Senior girls with full credits. l6l pl dGld W HglSll N y QPVHLLEIWWS 5 N U Purple and Gold Waite High School Nmeteen twenty 7 .

I63 Purple and Gold Waite High School Nineteen-twenty 1 Coach Rupp Let us stop for a minute before entering athletics to pay our respect an tribute to the man that has woven his way into the hearts of the men on the ' ' ' ' ' Tl f tball men met held and the students by his association with them. ie oo Coach Rupp on the field in spring practice, became acquainted with him at Camp Storer, and developed a lasting respect for him and friendship with f the him on the home field. Coach Rupp is a man that knows athletics rom Ground u a man who stands for all that is splendid and clean in all sports, a to ps man who is Willing to lead his men in their enterprises. Nvherever the man ' ' . At that was once a Port Clinton lad has been he has left an enviable record Doane Academy he played on the football team four years, at Dennison Uniersity Knocky Rupp was all-Ohio halfback three successive years. VVe are proud to have so able a man to lead the team next year 1n d athletics, as it is quite certain that after one year of his training the team that will be developed in the coming season will be the greatest team that has ever fought under the banner of the Purple and Gold, for success only can T crown the efforts of so able a man as Coach Nelson Rupp. I64 Purple and Gold lVaite High School Nineteen twenty Wearers of the W CASSIDY ' SIMPSON COLVIN PETCOFF ALEXANDER BUCK KIKER BENSON PLARREL BIEYERS PAULEY GOLDSTEIN BERNDT LICINNES FOOTBALL VARSITY R BASKETBALL 165 SQHULTZ HILL GREGG BARRETT PELTON QUINLIN DEMUTH 'FRAUTWVEIN DOMHOFE KINKER BRENKJT STAMMAN PRINTY ULRICH Purple and Gold Waite High School Nineteen-twenty Mr. Fred W. Klag, Faculty Manager A On the faculty manager of a school rests the success or failure of athletics. It makes little difference what kind of material the coach has to Work on or what kind of coach the team may have as a leader, if athletics are a failure financially it is impossible for a team to succeed. To pay the expense of athletics costs thousands of dollars each year, which must come from the proceeds of the games. When Mr. Klag took charge of the Athletic Association it had a deficit that had been developed during the war and influenza epidemic of the past seasons. When the season opened several hundred dollars were spent for new uniforms and other equipment which increased the debt of the Association. But the end of the athletic year of nineteen hundred and twenty found the Athletic Association with a surplus fund to start the season next year. This success is due to the efficient management of the ,faculty manager. Mr. Klag has made every possible effort to make the year in athletics a success, and as far as it is in his power it has been successful. He has not only been a proficient manager, but a true friend to everyone with whom he has been associated in the class room as well as on the athletic field. It can be truly J said that Mr. Klag is a prince among men. 166 Purple and Gold Waite High School Nineteen-twenty The Year in Athletics It matters little what the pessimist may say, it is an established fact that athletics are taking a more prominent part in the high schools over the country every year. Today an institution, no matter what its academic standing may be, is known by the athletic teams it develops. VVhether that team wins or loses matters little so long as they play hard and Cplayj clean, the school they represent will be looked upon with pride and respect. When we look at the record of the teams that have carried our banner into the athletic contests this season we can but feel proud of them. It is true that this may not be the most successful year that Waite has ever had if we take only the scores into consideration, yet without doubt the football team that opposed our worthy opponents on Thanksgiving Day was the strongest team that Waite has ever put on the field. In spite of the few losses that the team sudered in football, we consider the season a success. VVe feel safe in saying that the team at no time lost to a team its superior in football tactics. The basketball season was less successful than the football season so far as the number of games won were concerned, but this cannot be said in respect to its spirit, fight, and enthusiasm. So far we have had no chance to see the track team in action, but we are looking forward to the success and exhibition of the true sportsmanship that we are sure will crown the efforts of the VVaite boys who are giving their best for their school in this sport. The tennis team that has been practicing for some time may be able to establish a new record for Waite in a new sport. Let us hope that in the future tennis will be one of the chief sports of the school in which everyone has a chance to participate. 167 Purple and Gold Waite High School Ninefffmz-tza'w1t'y FOOT 15 LL ' Z4 'JL -. 91 S I ...ig 1 LX A THE LINE Z- m EVE GOT A5 STRONG 4, X LINE. voun.n.No1-:ce f THE soars ARE THE 4' 4 d STRONG PART OF ITT X.

The May and June work- out was more of a calisthenic nature than practice for the gridiron. The season proper began when the squad of fifty-eight men left for Camp Storer for two weeks of real training. Two weeks of strenuous exercise and close association brought the team closer together than could be expected from practice on home ground. The squad returned from Camp Storer on September 5th and started football in earnest under the direction of Coach Rupp, Courtney and Ray Sheets. lvhile we may not consider the season as good as the preceding one, we are convinced that Vllaite had one of the best teams in the middle west and one that we can well be proud of. VVhen we think that VVaite ran up a score of 206 points against G9 of their opponents, we are fully convinced that the defeats VVaite suffered were the results of ill luck rather than any weakness of the team. - The first game of the season was played on Swayne Field, September 27, with Bellevue High School. Although the field was as strange to the VVaite men as it was to the Bellevue men, the visitors came out at the negative end of a 66 to 7 score. All the lVaite men seemed to be in fine shape for the game and all did fine work, which filled the lVaite enthusiasts with glee. C I69 Purple and Gold Waite High School Nineteenjtwenty One week after the game with Bellevue came the crushing defeat from which the Waite squad never fully recovered. The game with Detroit North- western was the roughest game of the season, played in the sweltering heat on Goldberg Field of Detroit. Quinlin and Cassidy were injured early in the game, causing the Waite team to weaken before the continual string of fresh men sent in by Detroit Northwestern. The game ended with a score of 19 to 6. VVaite had two weeks of practice between the game with Detroit North- western and Cass Technical of Detroit, which was played on Swayne Field October 18, VVaite winning with a score of 66 to 6. Scoring started early in the game and did not stop until the game was over. It wasiin the game with Cass Tech that Captain Cassidy gave the fans a real thrill when he caught the ball on the kickoff and ran eighty yards for a touchdown. The Bryan team that played Waite on October 25 was equal in weight but lacked the speed and training of the Waite squad. It seemed in the first quarter that the game was going to be an exhibition of real football, as neither team made any decisive gains. The second quarter, however, told a different story, for the Waite squad netted four touchdowns. Bryan scored a touchdown in the third quarter following a pass. The VVaite squad came out at the big end of a 35 to 6 score. Like the War of the Roses, the game with Cleveland Lakewood on Swayne Field, November- 1, was a battle in the mud. Being covered with mud, it was almost impossible for the teams to detect their own men. Tackling was almost impossible, as the men were so covered with mud that it was impossible to hold to them. The Waite men were the muddiest, however, for the game resulted in a score of 32 to 13 in Waite's favor. THE LINEUP 170 ' Purple and Gold Waite High School Nineteen-twenty 1 WAITE FINISHING AN Exo RUN - WA111:-Sco'r'r GADIE ' . . The game with Detroit Northern was the hardest game of the season to lose. The team did not know until the afternoon of the game whether Captain Cassidy or Halfback Simpson would be on the field, as both had been ill with severe colds. In spite of their colds, both men were in the game. Little can be said a-bout the Northern game except that it was one of the best exhibitions of clean sportsmanship ever exhibited on Swayne Field. Final score, 12 to 7. The game with Ann Arbor was the climax of football in Waite. VVhen we think of what occurred in Ann Arbor on November 15, we are inclined to smile and ask what the score was. With six of the regulars out of the game, the Waite team was defeated by a score of 19 to 7. The Ann Arbor gamg was the rough-house game of the season, the game in which the rules of football were suspended and hurdling and holding were in vogue. Everyone had a chance to be kicked in the rib-s or penalized five yards. Such a game will probably not occur again soon. ' Q ' Contrary to the opinion of the public at large, they Yllaite team carried the Purple and Gold on Scott Field, Thanksgiving Day, confident of victory. It is true that VVaite had suffered defeats that could not be accounted for, never- theless they felt themselves equal to the team that they were going to meet, and in the 'snow and mud they proved themselves equalg not only equal but superior to their adversaries. The number of first downs made by the Waite team almost doubled that made by Scott. The clean, cool-headed punting of the ,man that will lead the Waite team to victory this fall has no precedent. Every unit of the great football machine that it had taken a whole. season to develop waslin perfect working condition, every man was fit, every player was l7l ' ' Purple and Gold Waite High School Nineteen-twenty anxious to play, and the entire team was confident as to the outcome. Waite did not win, but thousands of spectators that crowded the grandstands and field left Scott Field with a feeling of respect and admiration for the team that could light and throughout the game showed such clean-cut sportsmanship. Next season we are expecting a stronger adversary than this year, but we feel confident that VVaite will rise to the occasion and end for some time the string of Scott victories. It is scarcely fair to pass from the football review without mentioning the heroic eEorts and fidelity of the reserve squad. The strength of the varsity team depends on the opposition furnished by the reserve team. YVhen the games that were scheduled for the reserve squad were cancelled, they took it in a sportsmanlike way, ready to make any sacrifice that the varsity might win. The only game played by the reserve squad this season resulted in a score of 59 to 0. The game was played with Genoa High School. It was the only game played by a Waite team this year in which the opponents were not permitted to score. Already the plans for the fall training have been formulated, which is a good indication that the VVaite team next season will be one of the best. It is true that Waite loses some of her best men, but the new spirit that animates the team will more than balance the loss of the men who graduate this spring. The team will be some lighter, but faster than the team that represented Waite last season. Because of the new system of open playing, speed is of more value than weight. . 1.

VVhen called on to carry the ball through the line Joe always responded readily and was generally successful. Without a doubt Schultz is one of the best punters on the grid. Much of the success of the Thanksgiving Day game was due to l1is cool head and accurate punting. Joe is captain-elect of the team for next year. Hill Howdy, though tl1e smallest man in the backfield, was, nevertheless, one of the most important players last season. As quarterback Howdy exhibited rare judgment in selecting the right play at 'the right time. As everyone knows, the general of a football team has more responsibility than any other player on tl1e team. Running back punts is one of the difhcult jobs that falls to a quarterback. VVe expect to see Hill on the team again next year. ' 176 Purple and Gold Waite High School Nineteen twenty Colvin Herb, alternate captain, proved himself one of the greatest ends that Toledo High Schools have ever produced. His speed enabled him to get down under punts and passes and to down his opponents before they were able to get under Way. On the defense Cupid was a genius in breaking up end runs and short for- ward passes. Herb is one 'of the few four- letter men who will be lost by graduation this year. We expect to hear of Colvin in college football in the near future. Petcoff Boni,,' the heavyweight of the team, played at right tackle. The big boy's weight and strength enabled him to break through the line and down his opponents behind their own line, thus gaining many yards for the VVaite team. VVhen given the ball, Petcoff could leave the field a wreck with his stiff arm. Boniis career as High School football player comes to an end this year, but we extend to hirn our best wishes for a success in college football. 177 Purple and G0 d VVaite High School Nineteen-twenty Alexander Alex, another heavyweight, held a guard position. Alexander made his letter in I1is Freshman year, which is proof of his ability as a football player. The guard position is no easy place to play, as it requires unlimited strength and endurance, which were two of Alexander's assets. Dodge will be on the grid again this fall. Pete was the pivot man in the grid machine who could snap back a spiral ball as straight as a bullet. In the hottest of the battle Quinlinis Voice could be heard encouraging the team and putting pep into tl1e plays. Quinlin, who has been a member of the squad for several seasons, is a valuable man Whom we regret losing very much. He will graduate this year. I78 Purple and Gold Waite High School Nineteen-twenty Pelton Jerry was the lad who played the other guard position. Although a new man at the game, he proved himself one of the best guards Waite has developed for some time. VVhen Pelton joined the squad last season his knowl- edge of football was somewhat limited, but by . . . . . 1 conscientious endeavor and faithful training he 1 developed into a player that could be depended ' on at all times. Pelton will be in the lVaite camp again next season. Mui I Barrett A'Clif,,' who joined the squad after being discharged from the army, proved to be the man needed to fill the left tackle position. Play- ing opposite to Petcoff balanced the lVaite line until it was almost impossible to penetrate it. This was the first year that Barrett appeared on the VVaite varsity squad. Clif was one of the men who not only gave their best to the service of the country, but also to the Purple and Gold. Barrett will be back next year. 179 Purple and Gold Waite High School Nineteen-twenty Gregg Leo, like Barrett, was one of the men who came from one service to join another. Gregg joined the squad at Camp Storer but did not begin to play at end until the team began practice on home ground. Owing to the fact that Gregg was a fast man he made an excellent mate' for Colvin and greatly assisted in the development of the forward passing game, as well as breaking up plays while on the defense. Gregg will not likely be with the squad next year. Trautwein Hodge', was the lad who intercepted a for- ward pass and ran ninety yards for a touchdown. Trautwein played halfback or end with equal proficiency. He is one of those who have earned a place on the team by constant and faithful training. At recovering punts he was hard to beat and it was this little act of kindness that accounted for one of the touchdowns scored by the Waite team last season. Trautwein graduates in June. 180 Purple and Gold lVaite High School Nineteen- twenty Buck Buck', took his exercise at the pivot posi- tion on the grid last season. As a roving center Buck was a genius, breaking up forward passes over the line was his hobby. VVhen it was necessary for him to be placed in the backfield he could hit the line hard, as was shown in the Bryan game. Buck will not be on the VVaite grid machine this fall. Benson 'fAndy was one of the men whose merit was not discovered until the season was well under way. Benson goes at everything in the same 4 determined way that he goes at football. His I8I devotion to duty and constant fighting earned him a lV.l' Vile are expecting to see Benson on the team next season with the same old fighting spirit that animated him this year. I urple and Gold Waite High School Nineteen-twenty tl1e team. graduates. ts , Kiker KikeH is a kind of an athlete that a coach likes to work with. VVhen he came out for the team the student body and players laughed at the idea of him trying to play football. But those who laugh last laugh best, and some who did the laughing were shown up by Kiker. The school will miss Clyde when he leaves, because he is always working for our interests. . If more of tl1e students would follow his example along this line the athletics here would be raised higher. -Coach Rupp. 182 Demuth H Demuthn was the long boy who could go liigher in the air without leaving his feet than any other man on the team. Wfithout a doubt he was the fastest man on the team. Demuth suffered injuries early in the season that pre Vented him from contributing l1is full value to Demuth was one of the January Purple and Gold Waite High School Nmeteen twenty Farrel Fud,' is the fastest, squirmiest, pluckiest little quarterback that XVaite is likely to develop for some time. Despite the injuries that he received early in the season, Farrel was one of the mainstays of the team. At running back punts Fud is a demon, as he demonstrated in the Bryan game last fall. In all probability Farrel will be the 1920 quarterback. Meyers Meyers is tl1e boy with the educated toe, who can drive the old pigskin through the goalpo-sts from any angle. Although Meyers is light, he is one of the fastest, most dependable halfbacks that will don the Purple and Gold socks this fall, as the team will depend on speed rather than size. 183 Purple and Gold lVaite High School Nineteen-twenty Pauley Frank is another of the beef trusts of the line. Owing to his weight he will be a very valuable man to the Xvaite line next season. Everyone that knows football knows that the guard position is one that requires strength and endurance. A glance at the picture will con- vince you that Pauley has both. Domhoff Vick is another halfback who was handi- capped throughout the season with injuries. Domhofl' tore a ligament of the ankle in the earlier part of the season. However, this did not keep him from participating in the games. YVe expect to see Domholf in the lineup again next fall. 184 Purple and Gold White High School Nineteen twenty Kinker Bud is the little fellow who tore gaps in the line in the Cleveland Lakewood game at Swayne Field last season. Although this was Kinker's first year on the Purple and Gold squad, he made a fine record. Bud will be on the eleven again next season if he shows the same fight and ability that he demonstrated last fall. Brenot Brenot was another amateur at the rough and tumble game who made good by a little grit and stick to the game. He is already a good foot- ball player and we feel assured that if Brenot is in the VVaite camp next season he will be on tl1e regular lineup. 185 Purple and Gold Waite High School Nineteen-twenty J. Max Shepherst, Student Manager VVe owe a debt of gratitude to the man who acted as student-manager for the VVaite football and basketball teams this season. When the football team returned from Camp Storer, Mich., there was one thing that the team needed seriously and that was a student-manager, to take care of their suits and supplies. After a careful research, Max was selected to fill the position. We can feel assured that if we always have as competent a man as Max to fill this position the men on the field will have the best of care. ' I Cassidy Captain Cass,' was a born football player who held the fullback position. When he was given the ball, Cassidy never failed to make gains throughlthe line or around end. Walt was just as good on the defense as on the oHense, as was demonstrated in the Waite-Scott game. We regret that Cassidy will not be with us this fall, as this was his fourth year on the gridiron. Simpson Jimmy was the star halfback who was frequently called on to plough holes through the opponent's line. His ability to dodge and ward off tacklers enabled him to make gains where others failed. Missing a pass was a thing that Jimmy was never guilty of. In all phases of the game Simpson was one of the most proficient men of the team. The sheepskin took Simpson. l86 'WP e and Gold Wai, H Hzgh School Nineteen twent N IDEALFORWARU ,,,,..-- ONEWHO HAS WORKED INA BASKET FACTORY AND HAS PLENTY OFEXPERIENCE MAKING BASKETS. 187 Purple and Gold Waite High School Nineteen-twenty The Season The basketball season of 1920 can scarcely be termed a success, but how many of us ever stop to think that our athletic teams are just what we make themg that they are composed of the student body, chosen out of the student body, and are playing for the school. When We fail to give the best we have to the team that represents us we can expect little from it, for it is the reflection of our spirit and enthusiasm. The people that are the first to knock are always the people that are doing the least to advance the team or the school. VVhatever may be our opinion of the season, We are bound to admit that every effort to make the team a Winning team was made by the coach and players, The teams that the VVaite squad was matched against in the past season were the best teams of the state, While the Waite squad was made up of players who were, as a rule, new at the game. We do not wish to make any excuses or apologies for the defeats that we have suffered, because that is part of the gameg it is part of sportsmanship. The Hnest thing in the true sport is being a good loser, as well as a good winner. Henceforth, let us put our heart, soul, and confidence in our teams and we shall have a good reason to expect better results. There are several teams that belong to VVaite that we have a right to be proud of. The Hi-Y team lost few games of the season, in fact, they were victorious in far more games than they lost. ' The Freshman team deserves mention for the splendid showing made in the games that were played during the season. It is to the Freshman team of today that we look for the Winning varsity of the future. The Quill and Dagger and Forum teams gave a number of exhibitions of clean sportsmanship in the preliminaries to the varsity games.. Out of the four games played by the D. team only one was lost and that by one point. The Seniors won the intramural contest for tl1e Waite championship. I88 Purple and Gold Waite High School Nmeteen twenty Goldstein Abe possessed all the requisites of a suc- cessful basketball playerg consistency, speed, brains. He was easily the star of the team and his absolute dependability gave' the team a feeling of confidence. Goldstein will not be on the Waite quintet next year. CullyU started the game as guard, but before the end of the season Coach Rupp considered him a good candidate for a forward position and placed him in that position. Cully will have a chance to show his proficiency again next year. 189 Purple and Gold Waite High School Nineteen-twenty Mclnnes Mac was the steady, dependable, cool-headed lad who guarded the basket. He was one of the few men who emerged from the team of 1919 and held down his position on the team of 1920. hlac will not be in the Purple and Gold lineup when the season opens in 1921. Stammon Dutch was a new find in the basketball world when the season opened in January. VVhether Stammon ever played basketball or not before he joined the YVaite squad matters little, we only know that he played a good game this season, and that we are expecting to see him play a better one next year. I9O Purple and Gold Wfaite High School Nineteen-twenty - Printy Printy was the long, lanky center for tl1e team who emmigrated from St. John's to give his best to the Purple and Gold squad. VVe were pleased to find Printy a good fighter and a great assistance to the lVaite squad. He will not be with the squad next year. Ulrich Ulrich was the beef of the team. He served in the capacity of guard. As Ulrich has two more years at VVaite he should he a great aid to the team next season, as most of the varsity squad graduate in June. 191 Purple and Gold Waite High School Nineteen-twenty Trautwein Hodge was the captain of the 1920 team. He was not elected, however, until the season was partially completed. Trautwein was a cool- headed, consistent player who was always at the right place at the right time. Trautwein grad- uates in June. Nauts This was WValter's iirst year at Waite, but he showed exceptional talent as a forward. He was a man the coach could use at any time and by ' his hard fighting helped to Strengthen the lineup. Nauts will not be with the team in 1921. 192 Purple and Gold Waite High School Nineteen-twenty 1 Girls' Gym Few people realize how much the gym has done for the girls of VVaite High School, under the able leadership of the two capable instructors, Miss Lecklider and Miss Armbruster. The girls, on their part, have shown their appreciation also by working faithfully, striving to even better last year's reputation. They spend two afternoons of the week there, WVednesday and Friday, and the Freshmen and Sophomores have a class one school period each of these days. Wednesday afternoon the Advanced Gym Class is held, consisting, for the most part, of Juniors and Seniors, although there are some of the younger classmates enrolled. In Advanced Gym the girls are taught drills of all kinds, dancing, marching, and games. On Friday afternoons the teams practice basketball. From the close of school until 2 oiclock on Friday afternoons the girls are free to come in the gym and dance. Near the close of the school year was held the Annual Gymnasium Exhibition. This was one of the important events of the year in the line of gym work and took place VVednesday evening, May 26. The regular gymnasium classes performed with wand drills, dumb-bell drills, free-hand drills, and dancing. The Advanced Class had a difhcult Indian club drill, dances, and marching. It was clear to be seen at this exhibition the careful training that the girls had received throughout the year and what had really been' accomplished in the line of gym work. VVe all hope that girls' gym work will be as successful next year and in the years to come as it was during the past season. ' . . 193 Purple and Gold W'aite High School Nineteen-twenty . Esther Gerber Esther was a fine forward. At every available opportunity, she, with a sure aim and a steady arm, threw the ball in the basket. In every game Gerber firmly held her own, and one can easily say she fought a good figlltnf' Esther will be lost by gradua- A tion., fi lf Helen Bennett Helen, on at-count of her height and alertness, made herself an important factor in the reputation of the team. At a toss-up, Bennett invariably got the ball in time to throw it to her side center. Helen will not be lost by graduation. jane Wiles Jane was the tie which secured the team their excellent passwork during tl1e year. A great point to her credit belongs to her clean playing and cheer- fulness as a loser. The team will be glad to look forward to her again next year. 194 Purple and Gold Wlaite High School Nmeteen twenty Esther Fritz Fritzie, although not having the intention at the beginning of the year, to be a forward, filled the vacant place with surprising ability. She managed to be all over her section at once and the two Esthers showed good teamwork together. Happily Esther will not be lost by graduation. Helen Williams Grace Plain , Plain, our staunch and sturdy guard, has been true to her record all season and has played a clean game at every chance. Her ability to stick to her opponent labels her as first-class. Lucky for the team, Grace will serve next year. Helen, though rather light, made another good guard for she possessed a talent for sticking to her opponent. In every game, Helen could be relied upon, playing with her other guard and breaking the throws of the opposing side. 195 Purple and Gold Waite High School - Nineteen-twenty A V The Season in Girls' Basketball This year, unfortunately, luck has almost always been on the opposing side for the Girls' Basketball Team, but they have tried to succeed, in keeping up the reputation of last yearis team. Although less experienced and lighter than that of the preceding year, they have made a gallant show and deserve to receive a just reward. Also, we can only boast of one old player out of the six girls comprising the. team of last year. Five of the girls graduated, leaving only one member to carry on the work, Esther Gerber, this year's captain. But every girl, when entering into a game, used every ounce of strength and it was a consolation to see their fine passwork and real playingi' even though they did not always win. 4 One great asset to the team was their clean playing. All games were the same to them, just clean and fair all the way through. Then too, the girls showed their wonderful spirit as losers and lived up to the old saying, It is better to be a good loser than a poor winner. In Miss Lecklider, the coach, the girls found a competent leader. She patiently corrected their errors and carefully instructed them in the ways of correct and successful playing. We must not forget to speak of the second team. They, in their turn, showed valuable material for a winning team next year, and although playing only one game this year, they showed their true spirit.. The following is a line-up of the first and second teams: FIRST TEAM ' SECOND TEAM E. Gerber fCapt.j .............. R.F ....... ................ C . McClure - E.

LASALLE 81 KOCH'S The girls at least had a good start.. Although Lasalle 8z Koch's team professed to have a winning team, they gracefully submitted to a superior six when they came in contact with Waiteis girls. The game showed good, clean playing and when the final whistle blew, VVaite came 'out at the big end with a score of 30 to 7. Westfall was chief point-getter. WAITE vs. sCoTT ' , Waite suffered their first defeat at the hands of Scott Basketball Team. The game was fast from the time the girls walked on the floor until the end, with every girl playing her best. Although the score ended 14-29, Scott's favor, 196 Purple and Gold White High School Nineteen-twenty they did not get their points without a struggle. Gerber was chief point-getter in this game. WAI TE VS. NORMAL In the game with Normal, before an audience of aboutone hundred people, the playing waxed fast and furious. The final total was 17-1-1 with Normal as winners, but Waite outclassed tl1e opposing team in every detail and proved this point in their spirit as good losers.. , VVAITE VS. KU PHYS On March 13, at the Y. VV. C. A. the Waite sextette bowed down in an overwhelming defeat. The team did not fully expect to win, therefore it was not such a big disappointment, the Ku Phi's having the reputation of being the foremost girls, team in the city, with Toledo's championship. One topic that is popular in a game like this is the clean playing, to VVaite's credit, which is so clearly shown in every game. VVAITE VS. NORMAL ' On March 244, VVaite came in contact with the Normal team again and lost, the score being 9-20. The girls put up a heroic fight, but a victory was not to be theirs, and Normal scored again. ' - WAITE RESERVES VS. SCOTT RESERVES g Waite Reserves only game of the season was played in the Waite Gym on February 27. For a second team it was very exciting, the final score not being determined until the last few minutes of the game. About two minutes before the end the score was 11-10, VVaite's favor, when Scott's forward made their last basket, making the score a point ahead, giving Scott the victory. We expect great things of VVaite's second team next year and we know that they will keep up the good work.

The support given the Purple and Gold is an expression of the friendly relations existing between the advertisers and the VVaite patrons. VVhen you contemplate any business transactions, bear in mind that the firm that gives you a square deal in school will give you one out of school, and the quality of service rendered and the grade of products received will exceed their expression of good will.
