T Tucson, Arizona, April 23, 1927 Class of 1927 of Washington High School :- With the graduation exercises your High School life is ended. ,Vin sure that you did not think four years could pass so quickly. They have gone and your school days are over. But the next few years will pass even more swiftly than the four you have spent in Washing- ton High School. I wonder if, when you get older, you will look back upon the youngsters that have taken your place and protest that you didn't do things as they do them. We are prone, as we grow older, to criticise the actions of what we generally term thc younger generation. VVhy, after all, should the young people of one generation be- have as did their elders. Do those same elders carry on their business affairs, their manner of living in the same way as their forefathers? Youth is not perfect-far from it. It is often careless of the rights of others, lacking in courtesy and other faults. So are olderpeople. Whatever your faults, whatever your virtues, when you get old don't blame everything upon the younger generation. We often condemn in others those acts we do not practice ourselves. You know I congratulate you. You know I wish you good luck. Yours very sincerely, JOHN H. MILLER. 8 DID 1 flu ...oss CLASS OFFICERS WILLIAM IRELAND, President ELIZABETH ELLIS, Prophet LAWRENCE MOSS, Vice President HERBERT HARD, Historigm MARJORY EVANS, Secretary-Treasurer CHARLES LYNCH, Lawyer CLASS COLORS CLASS MOTTO CLASS FLOWER Scarlet and Old Silver We Finish to Begin.

And as we go our ways in life Mry oar memories of you Help us, guide us, cheer us on, Till our battle is fought, our goal is won.

Then fare thee well dear high school, And classmates all so true, Although our lives may drift apart, Our thoughts will be with you. -Dorothy Sparks CLASS SONG O! Washington! Dear Washington! Tonight we must say farewell. We must say good 'bye to our teachers dear, And the halls we love so well. We have shared all the joys Of our High School Days In four short happy years. And next year when each class assembles Don't think we shall forget For in each heart there still shall dwell The memories loved so well. ,v Chorus: We merry Seniors come tonight To bid farewell to youg We the Class of '27, to the Blue and White Bid adieu.

We found our tear-hers eagerly awaiting to indulge in our ignorance, and they were not long finding out, as they have so often told us, This is the brightest class l have ever had. ' Miss Davis worked uneeasingly and untiringly trying to teach us as Freshies, the deelensions and eonjugations. Some went to the other three corners of the building before they finally went to the VVest for Algebra. All classes were soon 'tHook -ed on Commercial Geography and Arithmetic. As the year sped on, the Great Reaper called two of our prominent class- mates, Charlotte Jefferson and Ruth Deen. When our Freshman year ended, we had one hundred and twelve in our class. At the beginning of our Sophomore year, our class began to make history for Washington High Sehool. Our candidates were making good on the football field. On the basketball eourt they were right there, both boys and girls. In the orches- tra and Glee' Clubs we were amply represented. As our second year started, one of our most popular classmates, William Baker, was called to the Great Beyond. He was taken from our midst, but his memory will always be eherished in the hearts and minds of his classmates. lt was also in our second year that Cupid made his debut. VVe were unable to have the usual Sophomore Carnival, but we did have a pienie at Monroe Falls that will never be forgotten. VVith the ineoming number, at the end of our Sophomore year, we had one hundred and seventeen enrolled. In our Junior year our class had diminished to ninety-four. In Miss .Iester's elass of Matrimony, Cupid's darts fell fast, thus further deereasing the number in our 4-lass. . Coach Vannorsdall resigned his position to take up coaching at East High of Akron. His plaee was amply filled by Coaoh Miller who immediately met with success by turning out a South Central Ohio League Championship football team. Our class furnished some splendid material without which they could never have aeeomplished this feat. The basketball team was not as fortunate although it did win a majority of the games played. The glrl's team did not win a majority of games, although it fought hard every game and deserves a great deal of eredit. lt was at this point that Mr. Rees who had guided us thus far, resigned to take up other work. His plaee was filled by Mr. Bruner who still holds the posi- tion of superintendent. The rest of our year was an eventful one. The Junior-Senior banquet, in whiz-h we entertained the Seniors, was one of the best ever put on in the history of Washington Hlgh School. The Junior plays were greatly enjoyed by everyone who saw them. The class used four well known one-act plays: The VVeasel,'l The Ghost Story, The 24 QQ i -V DUO End of the Rope and Scenes from Old Granada. Every person in the cast played his 'part well, carrying out clearly the dramatic talent of the class. At the start of our final round, we were saddened by the death of Joe Chris- tian, called in the midst of the basketball game between the Phi Sigma Chi Frater- nity quintet and New llolland. Joe went down fighting to the last breath, as he always gave his last full measure of strength in his games for the Blue and White. Again in the Senior class, Cupid welded hearts together. A fitting climax for our hard efforts at school was the Senion play, The Hottentotf' extremely well played by every member of the cast. Our debate teams came through this year adding another trophy to our long list. A majority of the debaters were from our class. This year our school lost the most popular coach ever known here. Coach John II. Miller left to go to the University of Arizona. Everyone, not only those on the athletic teams, but all who came into contact with him regretted his leav- ing very much. This vacancy was filled by Mr. Staats who piloted the baskeball team through a very successful season. A very appropriate ending of our High School career was the banquet given at the Washington Country Club by the Juniors in honor of the Seniors Out of the one hundred and twelve who finished the Freshman year there are now seventy-five of us who have lasted through the voyage of four short years. VVe have gained a knowledge that will make us much better fitted to fight the many strong battles of life. CLASS PROPHECY XVENTY-FIVI-'I YEARS ago today? Let me think! Oh, dear. How time flies! K J May and flowers again. Spring. How like, yet how unlike the Spring imqnj, of 1927. NVhat joys and sorrows have the years brought to the young men and young women of our graduating class of 1927? In my mind I see them then joyously and perhaps noisily moving from class- room to classroom or congregated in small groups in the corridor. Days-months-years together. And then-and then--the last days of school. So eagerly sought. forg so reluctantly given upg the last days of school. Each May brings vivid recollections of those dear classmates but this May of 1952, the twenty-fifth anniversary of our graduation seems particularly to have brought with it many forgotten incidents. My life work has necessarily taken me away from the world, but seclusion has never lessened the desire to hear about my school day friends. Yet until last evening I knew but very little of them. Last evening l gained much information in a very strange way. While searching through old records I noticed an apparently newly bound volume. Closer examination disclosed that it was printed in 1951 by the Record 'Publishing Company and in the city of Washington Court House, Ohio. Ilow it came to be where I found it will alwaysbe a mystery. Hastily glancing through the book I found some familiar names and brief accounts of the lives of these interesting people. Just the information for which I had been longing. Although many of the younger folks here tonight will not rexnevnber some of 25 Z 1 ,ova the names mentioned, I am sure the older generation will not have forgotten. VVith your permission I will read just what is written: Georgia Prugh Chapman has been with the Hartman Stock Company for the past several years. She is the prima donna. Ivan Manville Boyer is successfully completing his fifteenth year on the con- cert stage. The public never allows Mr. Boyer to leave the platform until he has given them his unique and absolutely original presentation of Twittering Birds.

Always interested in Athletics, Herbert Condon Campbell is Head of the Athletic Commission for the State of Ohio.

Shortly after she graduated she be- came secretary to Aimee Semple McPherson. In the last few years she has taken complete charge of Mrs. McPherson's evangelistic work.

The stern reality of life has taught us the necessity for the apparently strict discipline and for the thorough instruction we received as students and it is my prophecy that the Class of '27 will continue to add to its already notable list of achievements. CLASS WILL We, the members of the Class of 1927, of the Washington High School, City of Washington Court House, County of Fayette and State of Ohio, having completed our scholastic career, publish this, our last Will and Testament, hereby annulling and making void all former wills by us at any time heretofore made.

IN TESTIMONY WHEREOF, We, The Class of 1927, solemnly subscribe our names and affix our seal this ............ day of May, 1927, A. D., One Thousand Nine Hundred and Twenty-Seven. 7 ................................tWitnessj Signed, Sealed and Delivered by THE SENIOR CLASS 32 Y M .Q 'v EEZ T 1 lg, UNIOR CLASS A NCE MORE the Class of '28 greets you. As a rule the Juniors are sup- posed to be Very ineonspicuous personafes. Possibly the Freshmen on account of the lateness of their arrival in lligh School create the most attention. Then come the Sophomores who fairly radiate conceit. They seem to feel so distinguished because they are no longer Unsophistieated Freshmen. As compared with these two groups and the wise, dignified Seniors, we Juniors are regarded as having an inferiority complex. As it is, we are justly proud of ourselves and, unlike lVill Honeyeoml, we are sure that time has made an impression, both by wrinkles on our foreheads and traees on our brains But- ttlf we stop to consider the work we have done, And to boast what our labor is worth, Angels may come for us--it's true But we'll never be wanted on Earth. ln View of this, perhaps it would be better to end right here, but after all, that would be almost impossible, wouldn't it? lYe owe it to ourselves to record the class events to date. Each of us has his peculiar ambition. As a class it is to Le truly esteemed by our classmates and to render ourselves worthy of their esteem. We realizce that, although there is a necessary limit to our achievement, there is none to our attempt. At any rate, we haven't reached the goal yet. The class officers as elected were: Thurman Sheppard, President: .lost-ph Quigley, Vice-President, Mary Katherine Snider, Secretary, and Robert Schneider, Treasurer. -.-. Wgblb A- . 9,1-ZA ra: Q1 x ..-. K' During the past year you have had an excellent chance to see how Juzziors 34 ff D10 can debate. Charles Schwart, Wanda Myers, Helen Todhunter and Elizabeth Cline composed one-half the Washington High School Debating Team. The class is counting on them for next year and wishes them the greatest success. No one will question but that Charles Schwart has a full share of histrionic ability. He was chosen to represent Washington High School at the Ohio Extempore Speaking contest at Delaware, Ohio. He was one of the twelve, who were entered in the finals and he was a credit to our school. For quite a while this last Fall the gridiron was one of the school's chief centers of attraction. Washington could not ask for a better record than the one which belonged to the Foothall Team of 1926. Of the seventeen who received letters, eight were Juniors, nearly half. Now we ask you, How is that for the contribution of the Junior class? Those who bestowed credit upon us are as follows: Eugene Smith, Captain-elect for the coming year, Richard Jacobs, James Fichthorn, Clark Pensyl, Stuart Gossard, George Campbell, Charles'Lucas, and Thurman Sheppard. Many were the achievements on the basketball court. We bask in the reflected glory of Washington Hi's Girls' Basketball Team, since five out of the eight who were granted letters this year are members of our own class. We are certain that next year with Miss Mary Weaver acting as the coach, Ramona Short as the cap- tain, Anna Lisciandro as the manager and Alice Hixon, Waunita Gerstner, Mary Katherine Snider and Wanda Myers constituting part of the players, there is noth- ing this team can not do. We claim a share of the laurels won by the Boys' Basketball Team. Richard Jacobs was the sole Junior receiving a letter, but what a Junior! In addition to his three basketball letters, he has three football letters. With a man of his ex- ceptional athletic ability filling the position of captain for next year's team, we predict the best success. Mary Katherine Snider represented the Class of '28 both as Freshman and Sophomore reporter on the Sunburst Staff. This year she again appeared on the staff as the assistant editor with Elizabeth Fite as the Junior reporter. We demonstrated our dramatic talent in our Junior play, Peg O' My Heart. To the members of the cast the Class of '28 expresses its gratitude for the efforts it put forth in making the play the huge success it was. Our Junior class ranks high in scholarship. Although the purpose of a journey is not only to arrive at the goal, but also to find enjoyment by the way, we realize that ,there is something more to school life than just amusement. There are two chief musical activities in Washington High School, the Glce Club and the Orchestra. l The Glee Club owes some of its splendid success to us. Remember that Marion Osborn, the star of the musical play, Carrie 'Comes to Collegef' is a Junior. We cannot mention all the Juniors who were in the Glee Club, but don't forget that they were there just the same. The Junior Class had a large representation in the Orchestra. We fully realize just how much such an organization means to our High School. The Juniors hereafter named, who by the way, made up almost one-fourth of the entire mem- bership, should be as proud to be enrolled in this group as we are of them. They are: Cornelia McClimans, Virginia Hyer, Ramona Short, Anna Lee Taylor, Waunita Gerstner, Earl Link, Robert Parrott, Helen McElwain, Anna Belle Stemler, and Jeanne Tipton. Before closing it is befitting that, we should take this opportunity to thank all the members of the High School faculty for their efforts in our behalf. They have lighted many candles which in later years will shine back to cheer them. 35 GB i 4 Arnold, Katherine Arnold, Mary Beckett, Donald Bonecutter, Willard Clemmer, Wanda Curl, Edith Carter, Elizabeth Carr, Corwin Campbell, George Cline, Elizabeth Dray, Mary Flee, Norma Fisher, Ralph Fite, Elizabeth Fichthorn, James Gossard, Stuart Grove, Mary Ellen Grimm, Glenn Ging, Frances Gerstner, Waunita Hyer, Virginia Hixon, Alice Jackson, Helen Louise Jacobs, Richard 2 JUNIOR CLASS ROLL Knedler, Eva Marie Klever, Richard Link, Earl Liseiandro, Anna Myers, lVanda McElwain, Helen Miller, Mary Minton, Mina McClimans, Cornelia McCoy, Melvin Minton, Dorothy McLean, Mary Osborn, Marian Penn, Kathleen Parrett, Robert Plymire, Mary Louise Pensyl, Clark Pursley, Helen Park, Nellie Quigley, Joe Rine, Margaret Ross, Gladys Reeden, Adalene Reynolds, Louise 36 Smith, Eugene Spurloek, Carrie Snider, Mary K.

During the past nine months, they have been admitted into mizpi w the soeieties wliieh form an important part of the seliool life. The aetivi- tives and different studies have made the year pass mueh more ouiekly than was realized. At the beginning of the sehool year, timidly peering through formidal le new books, they shuddered at the thought of studing about a Diet of Worms. lt surely must be unpleasant. How strange it seemed to sit on an old stool that would squeak at the slightest movement and to try and eoncentrate on tyrannical triangles and eireles, suppressing the keen desire to examine the mysterious and fascinating bottles and flasks that littered the desks. But now the books are no longer new, the mysteries of Aneient History have been explained, and the c-lass is adept in the art of moving the bothersome stools to a more eomfortable position, examining: the contents of the laboratory bottles and giving attention to the geometry lesson -all at the same time! Besfdes these minor aeeomplishments, the elass has finish- ed the work of one of the most important years in l-ligh Sehool life. The class is proud of the representatives it has in the musical organization of the sehool. One-fourth of the orehestra members are Sophomores. Praetieally one-fourth of the Glee Club is eoniposed of Sophomres. These Sophomores have 28 qu D19 had their share in making the Glee Club one of the most important organizations in the school. The future stars in athletics, as represented in this class are promising. On the girls basketball team, several Sophomore girls attended practice regularly. Verda Cooper received a letter for her exceptional playing. The promise of a vic- torious basketball team next year is increased by the fact that two Sophomores, Robert Moss and Harry Ferguson, have shown marked ability in basketball. In football, Robert Moss received a letter, and several other Sophomores, Pharles Campbell, Harry Ferguson, James Ireland, Daniel Wilkin, Glendon Kelley, Howard Thompson and Thomas Craig attended practice regularly. These players will give opposing teams some strong resistance next year. Now that the class is half way through their High School life a feeling of pride and anticipation passes over them. There is a feeling of great pride because the class has successfully finished two years work in lVasl1ington High School. In the last two years t'1e class has had a glimpse of the pleasure and advantages to be gained from their next two years in school. Each year the graduating class excels the seemingly unsurpassable standard set by the former classes. When the time comes for the Sophomore Class to gradu- ate from the halls of this school, they want to be able to say that their class has set the highest. standard. With this aim in view they are eagerly looking forward to next year, when the class shall enter the doors of Washington High School as Juniors. Ii!!

K ,f They were one hundred and twenty-one strong, and stood about in scared mi-afw groups until directed to their class-rooms by kind-hearted upperolass- men, who sent them everywhere except where they should go, and reveled in their discomtiture. For about a week the class was overwhelmed with these kind- nessesn Cespe-cially those which were dispensed in the study hallj until some of the green wore off. By the time they attended a few pep meetings, where they learned to cheer in lusty tones, they began to feel like real High School students, and to hold their heads at as high an elevation as the Seniors. Their achievements they modestly present to 'tSunburst readers as worthy of some small credit. Nine of their number are in the orchestra, namely, Sparks, Elliott, Harper, Far- quar, Magly, Kisling, McElwain, Hudson and Conwell, each adding tone and harmony to Mr. Kay's aggregation, and contributing of course, a proportionate number of goose-notes . However, such discords 'are a part of every musical organization, and the mistakes made have been more than offset by augmented volume. The Freshmen had a rather small number of men out for football, but more than made up for this shortage by loud and strident rooting, in which every member of the class took part. The class also registered a solid attendance at all of the games, either here or elsewhere. 4 I 42 2 CK Z5 Their basket-ball activities were much more conspicuous. During the latter part of the year Harold Hill was given a place on the Varsity squad, which is quite an honor for a yearling. The Freshman team, composed of Ferguson, Hill, Fite, Myers 'and Walker, won the Junior League championship, winning ten games and losing none. The girls' squad practiced often with the Varsity, and not only gave it spirited opposition, but developed some good material which we hope to see in Varsity uniforms in the future. The most promising are Mark, Story, Schadel, Persinger and Fowler. Much credit is due the Freshman Class for their untiring efforts in supporting the Sunburst drive of 1927. , In scholarship, they feel that the ground work for a successful course of study has been laid, and they have settled to their work with determination to make the Class of '30 the pride of the faculty in that regard. They here and now, dedicate their efforts and talents in athletics and scholarship to the High School in the firm resolve to give their best and their 'all to what will be their Alma Mater in 1930. 43 g C3 on FRESHMAN CLASS ROLL Anders, Evelyn Anderson, Meda Arnold, Elza Baer, Louis Ballard, Betty Barger, Howard Belles, James Benjamin, Virginia Binegar, Ethel Blakeman, Helen Blue, Dorothy Boggess, Paul Boswell, Ethel L.

Research was begun immediately and rgkxjs the speeches were started. N On Friday, l eli-ruary 11th, the first debate of the year was held. The subject was Resolved: That the Direct Primary Method of Nominating State and Local Can- didates Should be Abolishedf' The Affirmative team met as their first opponent, Laneaster High School. This debate was probably the hardest fought debate that the Affirmative had. Each member on the Lancaster team being a remarkable speaker. NVashington High Sehool won this debate and with the Negative team winning at Cireleville, Washington was qualified to meet the Portsmouth squad there on March 4th. Here again Washington High School was victorious and able to gc on to the finals, due to the narrow margin by which the Negative lost. On March 27th, the Affirmative team traveled to Marietta and debated in the College Library. This was the last debate of the season and as a fitting climax Wash- ington High School was awarded the Championship eup, awarded by the Marietta College in the Ohio University-Marietta League. The success of the season was largely due to the unfailing efforts of the coach, L. C. Staats and to the hard work of every member of the team. The guidance of the Priniepal, Mr. Thompson, who accompanied the Affirmative team on every trip, was very helpful.

Kennedy, with llelen Todhunter as alternate, In our first debate with Cireleville February 11, 1927, W'ashington High School was vietorious. This victory placed Washington High School in the semi-finals with Portsmouth. Previous to last year, Portsmouth had held the debating' honors for twelve eonsecutive years. The strong Portsmouth affirmative was able to defeat the Washington High School negative. Our affirmative having defeated Portsmouth's negative team, Washington High School was deelared champions ot' the WW-stern division ot' the Marietta College-Ohio University Debating League. Un March 24, the negative journeyed to Athens to eompete with Marietta, the winner of the South-Eastern Division. It was a. hard tight from beginning to end. Toward the end of the construction work the opposition gained a little, which Wash- ington negative was unable to entirely balance, 'although they were better in rebuttal: so in spite of' the hard fight put up by Washington negative, the decision was awarded Marietta by a small margin. Thus, Washington has tinished two successful years in debate which success is due to the untiring work of Mr. Staats, the eoaeh, and the eo-operation ot' the squad. Mr. S-taatS, VVz1Hda Myers, I . M. Kennedy, Jr., Helen Todhunter, Jean Cavinee 49 C5 OM ORCHESTRA HTS YEAR the orchestra celebrated its sixth anniversary and has become one of the most progressive and permanent organizations in the school. 0, The influence of the orchestra is widely felt. There has been no greater incentive in this community which has developed in the minds of the younger boys and girls, a desire to play musical instruments and to learn music, than this organization. The orchestra considers itself most fortunate to have been able to retain Mr. 'Karl J. Kay as organizer and director for its whole lifetime. YVitl1 every year, the orchestra has shown an increase in the number of n1en1- bers and an improvement in the type of music played, as every successful organiza- tion should do. Last year the orchestra boasted thirty-six members and this year they are proud to say their number has grown to forty-three. Twenty-four more advanced players are organized into a group known as the concert group and play 1I1Ol'6 difficult music than the whole orchestra. ROW 1-Runyan, MoClimans, F. Sparks, Hudson, N.

On Monday night and on Wednesday evening after school. A The character of music this group of young people plays also improves as the years roll on. Six years ago, their most difficult numbers included Minuetto by Mozart and Barcarolle from Tales of Hoffman by Offenbach. Now they are playing such pieces as Ruy Blas by Mendelsshon and selections from the comic opera Florodora by Stewart. This one comparison helps in pointing out the growth and improvement of the orchestra. There are very few days during which the orchestra does not meet for pleasure. practice, or the production of music. Besides playing for chapel program, it also plays for various school entertainments that occur in the High School auditorium. Those for which it has played this year are the operetta, Carrie Comes to College, the Junior play, Peg O' My Heart, the Senior play, The Hottentotj' and the commencement exercises. Some of the hardest work was put in learning new music for the sixth annual orchestra concert which occurred this year. As usual, the orchestrafs activity has not been limited to High School func- tions. It has had numerous engagements for outside organizations during the past year. Among these were a concert for the shellshocked veterans in the hospital at Chillicothe, the Canadian Farmers' banquet, two banquets of the Ohio Bell Telephone Company, a Rotary Club banquet, a play sponsored by the Church of Christ, the Sunshine Comedy fgiven at Washington, Jeffersonville, and New Hollandl, a meeting of the Athletic League officials, and the Clarksburg commence- ment. A new departure this year was the broadcasting from the WAIU Station at Columtus. ln the latter part of April, the orchestra gave a demonstration concert for the students in the music department of Miami University. L Social activities have proven very satisfactory in holding the orchestra members together and making each one feel that he has a definite place in the organiza- tion. This year's social activities have been the summer camp at Sunny Bump QMr. Kay's summer retreatj, a party at Dorothy Chandler's summer home in London, a hike through Patriarch Hollow near Frankfort, and October frolic at the home of Lucille Janes, a Thanksgiving box supper at Harold Todhunter's country resi- dence, a Christmas party at the home of- William and Charles Robinson, a George Washingtoii party at Francis Marion Kennedy, Jr.'s, and a spring picnic at Sunny Bump. ' Twelve orchestra members are leaving the orchestra through graduation this year. They are leaving with the hope that the oncoming classes will furnish many orchestra recruits who will carry on the work in good spirit. 51 GB D10 OMICRON SIGMA LITERARY SOCIETY members of the Public Speaking Department. This year We were unable to do active Work until after Christmas'vacation hx V A program committee of four members was elected to arrange the programs of each meeting. Some of the works of eaeh of the following writers was studied: Booth Tarkington, Jean Stratton Porter, J. W. Riley, Robert Burns and Edgar Guest. The Omieron Sigma and the Adelphian Literary Societies both sponsored the Capitol University Glee Club at the High School auditorium. Chapel was also spon- sored by the Omicron Sigma in May. The Omicrons were very active not 'only having meetings but having a candy sale at the Junior Play, which made a nice treasure for the Society next year. The year was closed with three meetings 'and a joined meeting with the Adel- phian Literary Society.

M it DID sueeessful year. Because the Club was sueh a benefit to students taking Spanish, it was the wish of the members that this be a permanent organ- wg ization. So at the last meeting in 1926, offieers for this present year were ati elected in order that the Club might have some basis upon which to start this year. Although we did not start our meetings until after Christmas, the students have shown an increasing interest in the Club and have had a most profitable and enjoyable year. This year the meml:-ership was limited to students who made an average of C in Spanish. The Club plaeed this limit on the membership because it would encourage better work in Spanish. The Club was made interesting so that students would wish to belong. The first meeting was given over to the initiation of the new members. This was one of the outstanding meetings of the year. Part of eaeh of the following' meetings was taken up by a study of some phase of Spanish life. In this way business became a pleasure. , On May 4th, the Spanish Club was favored with an address by El Senor N. D. La Fuerza, of Barcelona, Spain. His message concerning Spain and its customs was most instructive for the Club and its guests. The last meeting of the year was a pienie at Monroe Falls. This was one of the most interesting events of the year. 56 CK DUO COMPETENT TYPIST CLUB fqfifiilgis NDUSTRY HAS taken a great stride forward.

Under the direction of Miss Green, Supervisor of High School music, this organization has again come into its own. tri VVorking under a regular schedule as other organizations in the High M School the achievements have been noteworthy. Early in the Fall the Glee Club presented two numbers before a regular meeting of the Mothers Circle. They provided music for the chapel programs. In a com- bined program with the Public Speaking Department the Club presented When Carrie Comes to College, culminated with a Spring concert on Thursday, April Sth, 1927. A difficult program was ably rendered, assisted by Ellis E. Snyder, baritone, head of the Voice Department of Capital University, Columbus, Ohio. The girls have expressed a keen desire to continue the work of the f'lub as an active organization in the High School and earnestly hope that the good work carried on this year may continue throughut many years to Come.

K I Spencer Goodnow, only son of a wealthy man, falls into evil ways after a eniqxi, brilliant start in college. He accumulates so many debts until his creditors threaten to take them to the faculty. Spencer's bills are paid by Carrie, the girl whom he loves. She tells him, when he says he is going to leave, that if he is the man she thinks he is, he will stay until he has repaid her. Spencer's H1811- hood shows itself and he redeeins himself entirely. Then Spencer forgives Carrie for paying his debts and the story ends in the usual way. The other characters in the comedy were well suited to their parts, and fur- nished the variety necessary to make the play interesting. Much credit is due to the splendid work of the chorus and the orchestra. The play would not have been as distinctive as it was, if it had not been for the work so admirably done by these two groups. The directors were Lorin C. Staats, Karl J. Kay and Lizzie Ellen Green., Lucille McLean did the accompanying .for the orchestra, and Elizabeth Burnette for the chorus. Fred ..... Tommy ..

His next issue contained the following items: John Benin, the laziest merchant in town, made a trip to Beeville on Mon- day. John Coyle, our groceryman, is do- ing poor business. His store is dirty and musty. How can he be expected to do much? Married-Miss Sylvia Rhoades and James Collins, last Saturday at the Bap- tist parsonage, by the Rev. Gordon. The bride is a very ordinary girl who doesn't know any more about cooking than a jackrabbit and never helped her mother three days in her life. She is not a beauty by any means and has a gait like a duck. The groom is an up-to-date loafer. He has been living off the old folks at home all his life and not worth shucks. It will be a hard life. A Sheeny junk peddler was walking along Third Avenue one hot day last summer. He had a heavy bag of iron, lead pipe and brass on his shoulders. He was perspiring freely under his big load and making slow progress. A wom- an in a fifth-story window managed to attract his attention. Come up here Mr. Quiggleyf' she called. The Sheeny climbed five flights of stairs and when he got to the top the woman said: Von't you put Ikey in the bag, if he ain't gout? Daniel Wilkins: What's that in your mouth?

Washington lligh School has not R lost a league game in the last two years. iiiidja VVith the record of 1925 backing them, the team of 19226 was looked upon with great interest and enthusiasm. Never before had football been so popular as in 1926. There was much support for the team from the lligh School and also from the down-town fans. The season was opened by defeating Vlarksburg 7 to 0. ln the second game, with Logan, lVashington High School was defeated 18 to 0 on the field, but through the Ohio Athletic Association, YVashington High School was awarded the victory because of an ineligible man on Logan's team. The third game was here with Circleville. lt was a close game but Washington won by a score of 19 to 14. The next was with l rankt'ort, lVashington winning by a score of 19 to 10. Then came Xenia. They had an exceptionally strong team and after a hard fought battle, the game ended 7 to 0 in Xenia's favor. This was the only game Washington lost. Hillsboro came next and after a one-sided game in which the boys avenged themselves of the scoreless tie at llillshoro in 1925 the game ended 14 to 0 in lllash- ington's favor. 1 I l ROW 1-L.

The field was under water from incessant rain and snow. Never before had a Washington High School football team played under such condition, but with the do or die spirit, nothing could stop them from fighting to hold Wilmington to a scoreless tie. iWashington played a defensive game throughout. ln the closing minutes of the game Wilming- ton threatened the score, but the iron wall of the Blue and White refused to be penetrated. The game ended 0 to 0. Thus tying Wlashington and Wilmington for the league championship. . The last two games meant victory for VVashington's gridiron'crew. Chilli- cothe 31 to 13. The last with Greenfield 21 to 0, one of the most interesting games of the year. lVashington loses six letter men through graduation: Captain Ireland, Hartlnan, Flee, Doyle, Lawrence Moss, Edwin Sollars. i . Ireland as quarter-back was the most dreaded and feared man, in the league. His unfailing attack on offense and his deadly work on defense alone5secured him a place on the picked team of the South Central Ohio League. His position on the Blue and White team will be hard to fill. ' Hartman at end was considered as one ofthe, best ends in thefleague. His sure tackling stopped many opponents from a goodly gain. His absence will also be felt next year. V , - . -- Flee made a name for himself thiseyear at center. This is Bob's first and last letter from W. H. S. He quite capably filled the positigrn of center and play- ed a clean steady game throughout the season. I M A Doyle at guard received his share .of the glory as he was one of the seven men to make up the Blue and White's stone. wall. ., Lawrence Moss and Edwin Sollars served faithfully, althoiigh not of the first eleven, they did their bit on all occasions. ' j A Those who will go to make up next yearfs .team are: Captairi-elect Smith, Pezisjsl, Gossard, Fichthorn, J. ireland, Robert,Moss, Lucas, Charles Campbell, Fer- guson, Sheppard, George Campbell and Jacobisfl With these mengto build on there s no reason why Washington High School. can not have another team like it has had for the past two years.

K J Losing the iirst game of the season aroused determination in the minds of mg J, each and every player to such an extent that they defeated the next three adversaries by safe margins. Then came Wilmington to defeat us by a score of 26 to 24. The breaks of the game gave them this contest as the c'Itra basket was a lucky shot. Washington lost two more games after this date. One with Columbus, which was later avenged, and another game with XVilmington. The trip to Athens was a big event this year. Washington drew Chillicothe for the first game. Before a few loyal rooters from the home town, we came through with a victory of 33 to 17. Hillsboro cancelled and we had to meet Ironton. After a rather one-sided battle the game ended 31 to 13 in our favor. Next came Ports- mouth. They were picked to win the tournament-which they did by a score of 26 to 17. It was a hard-fought game in which every man played his best until the end. There were six letter men this yearg McLean, captaing Ireland, Hartman, Jacobs, Doyle and Flee. McLean distinguished himself throughout the entire season by his unfailing accurate basket shooting. He will be greatly missed on the team next year. Ireland, the other forward, must be complimented on his iioorwork and follow- up shots. He was always dependable in all games. Hartman was a valuable man in securing the tip-off and following up the occa- sional misses of Ireland and McLean. He was one of Washington High School's most valuable men. Flee, Doyle and Jacobs were the best set of guards in the entire league. Their guarding was almost impenetrable. Without them Washington High School would never have had the successful season that they had. The first live men mentioned have played their last game for Washington High School, but Captain Jacobs has some very good material in Ferguson and Schneider. Next year's Freshman Class holds great promises for the basket-ball team. The oncoming Freshmen hold the Junior High championship this year. THE SCORES 1st 2nd lst 2nd Gam Game Game Game VV. H.
