We were the Only Class. Everyone seemed to look up and take notice. Things were different, but not as had been expected. Our high school career might be compared to the shifts of a machine. As Freshmen we were in low, going rather slowly, and taking the bumps rather carefully. However, each one was willing to do his duty in work and play. We were successful in athletics, producing 2 on the first team and 3 subs. The girls of '24 won the B. B. tournament in the new Gym at Waynesfield. This year ended only too soon and we were Sophomores. Wayne Hi greeted us in our Sophomore year with a new Superintendent, Mr. W. K. Wilson, who took the place of Mr. W. S. Younger. Also a new principal, Mr. Paul Wen- ger, taking the place of Mr. Nelson T. Howe. Everything fairly boomed, new clubs and organizations were started. This year our class had shifted from low to second, we were now taking the bumps more easily, and were also traveling at a higher rate of speed. Again our class shone in athletics and in glee club. We also had the honor of having proved some of the theories in Geometry, that never had been proven by any other person, and by methods never before used. This year our class numbered 26, several having dropped out. It was this year that the first Souvenir Program of the Waynesfield school was published. Vividly we recall our Junior year and its activities. Three new teachers came to .Wayne Hi in '27: Mrs. W. K. Wilson, Latin teacher, taking the place of Miss Martha Crawford, Mr. Walter Cook, principal and athletic coach, taking the place of Mr. Wen- ger, and Miss Beulah Yinger, instructor in music. As Juniors we made a third shift, now we were in high, going at a rather swift rate of speed. Our knowledge of the past seemed to serve as balloon tires, smoothing out all the bumps, making the road pleasant to travel. We letiour lights shine out with the class of '27 in English Literature. Our secret motto was put into practice this year: Do it as the teachers say, and it will spell success. The Junior play, Eyes of Love and Junior-Senior reception were two of our greatest successes as a class. On entering school this year some were glad, others sad, with this thought. It is our last year in Old Wayne Hi. As Seniors we had 17 members, 8 girls and 9 boys. Several of our former class mates were married, others quit school, and took up differ- ent kinds of work. However, we were greeted with two new teachers, Miss Roberta Williams, music instructor, taking the place of Miss Yinger. Also Miss Edith Witten, filling the place of Miss Freda Trumbull, as English instructor. New class mates also greeted us, coming from neighboring towns. This year has been one Golden Time, all our work and play have blended to make a golden spot in the book of memory. Perhaps some people are wondering what shift our Senior year could be compared to, as no other remains, but reverse. I will set my readers right by saying we were not in reverse, but fContinued on Page 325 'll al Page Seven 11 if 'QQ-ji, ,D nl lNAYNE L-:IGH D UNIORS ! 4 FRONT ROW-Elsie Seaman, Angeline Douglas, Frances Faler, Min: Witton, Rosellzl.

A thrilling story of college life at Weston College, in the Middle West. Grant Hayden, with a talent for clay modeling, gives up all athletics and other forms of pleas- ure in an attempt to win a prize with his modeling. He is doing this in an attempt to raise enough money to keep his brother Robert and himself in college, after he has learned, unbeknown to Robert, that his father has lost his fortune. As no one knows of his reasons, Grant is accused of disloyalty, and shortly before the big game of the sea- son, Watassa, an ardent fan, destroys the famous model, thinking to drive Grant into football. Later she learns of Grant's real purpose, repents, and acts as his model for a new piece of work, which is finished in time for Grant to get into the big game and win it with a thrilling run for a touchdown, after Woolfe, star half, has been kicked off the team for betting against his team and intending to throw the game to the opponents. ll , fl Page Nine ew' WAYNE HIGH 459.5-Q5 FACULTY FRONT ROW-Ethel Wierman, 5thg Mrs. Wilson, Latin and Home Economicsg Jose- phine Stocker, 4thg W.

'D I Page Twelve mgggl WAYNE HIGH 499,65 CLASS PROPHECY By ALICE BOWDLE One day I was sitting before my fireplace while a fierce storm was raging out- side. The snow was falling fast and I was glad there was no task to call me outside. Suddenly I remembered that this was the day I could experiment with the different shaped snow-fiakes, so taking a large square of black cloth I hurried out. Soon the flakes began collecting and there were many beautifull shapes. I noticed they were foiminfr into little figures. The figure 1928 made out of tiny, star shaped white flakes looked very dainty, but until the words class of'5 came I couldn't remember what it stood for. Then I knew. It was the year a specially bright, happy bunch of boys and girls graduated from Wayne Hi. But where were they now? It had been tvcnty years since we had met. Soon the answer to question came. The snow- flakes were so beautiful that they seemed to signify afbeautiful wedding. This guess was right for soon the names Mabel Smith and Edward Stocker appeared. Al Smith had been elected president and Mabel and Ed. went to see him. He was so pleased that nothing would do but for Mabel and Ed. to be married there, so they were and lived in Washington almost a year and then returned to Mrs. Stocker's father's farm, where they raise white chickens, white dogs and white rabbits. e The next snow-fiakes were so jiggily that I at once thought of Nellie Gossard's cork screw curls and it was her name that came next. She had been seen by a movie director who thought her cork-screws very handsome and he took her to Hollywood where she plays leading parts as a dashing colored lady. Happy Dolph Apple runs a hotel in Waynesfield, where you can get anything or cvcrything to eat. ,It is known as the Happy hotel and the motto is: Eat, laugh and grow fat, and as far as the looks of Happy and his chief cook, Opal Griffin, an- other Senior of '28, who is now Mrs. Apple, are concerned, the cooking certainly agrees. The next snow-fiakes were so white that it seemed they suggested the cleanliness of a hospital and then I saw the name Dale Horn. She is a famous nurse and has given thousands of dollars for building bigger and better hospitals. The next flakes were rather short and pugnacious looking and they represented Banty Harold E. Sproul. He had joined the rank of prize fighters and was champion of the featherweight class. Zelma Gullett, another illustrious Senior is very musically inclined. During her high school days she played the piano, uke and violin, but now her favorite instrument is the HORN. She has been married and lived quite successfully with this HORN ever since he graduated from Miami. Oscar Morrison, the Westminster shiek, who was so witty many years ago, is a Hne example of a hen-peeked husband. Hislgnappy, up-to-date wife, formerly Lucille Morris, completely runs the home and Oscar. Glenn Wierman, famed for athletics while in High School, is now athletic coach at Yale and is making fine progress toward world fame. Dick Richard Yale surprised everyone. He went to Denison University and then took up politics and was our thirty-ninth president. His term of office was very successful except for three things: flj War between United States and England. Q21 Eleven strikes in railroads and mines. Q33 Tornadoes, cyclones and fioods. Ralph Heston became, through hard work, president of the Waynesfield Bank. fContinued on Page 321 ll I Page Thirteen E 'i5QQDlp WAYNE HIGH SGPHOMGRES FRONT ROW--Violet Slagle, Gertrude Pepple, Esther Gullett, Ruth Sproul, Cecil Bow- dle, Mary Alice McGinnis, Gertrude Smith.

In the fall of 1926 complete equipment for football was purchased by the athletic association, and that sport was added to the high school athletic activities. Music was added to the curriculum of the elementary school, and by departmentalizing the upper four grades, with the music teacher acting as home room teacher of the seventh grade, thirty-minute daily music periods were added to the work of all eight grades. Immediately after the holiday vacation work was started on tearing out the old heating plant, and a complete new steam heating plant of the Mouat Vapor type was installed in both main building and gymnasium. After the close of school, all traces of the old soot-belching hot air plant were removed by painting and cleaning the building throughout, and installing new window blinds and screens. Then all seats and other furniture were completely renovated, so that at the opening of school the following year, the pupils felt that they were entering a new building. This cleanliness of the building has raised the morale of the entire school several notches, and has done won- ders in bettering the health conditions of the children. At the beginning of the school year just ending, one more elementary teacher was employed, making one teacher per grade for elementary work. This increase was made necessary after three rural schools in Wayne township had been abandoned and the pupils transported to Waynesfield. This change was made permanent when the County Board of Education, on January 31, created a new school district from the old Waynes- field district and about three-fourths of the Wayne Township district, leaving only the Gossard district to itself. The new district then purchased two new G. M. C. school trucks, through the assistance of state aid, and these were routed in seven trips such that only two loads leave the building before four o'clock, and less than six pupils have any back-tracking to do in their ride to and from school building. In February complete equipment for manual training and cooking was added to the high school, and Wayne High now possesses one of the most completely equipped kitchens, arranged according to newest unit kitchen idea, of any school in this section. Twenty-four girls enrolled for the work this year. Plans for the coming year include more playground space to relieve the badly crowded conditions, play-ground equipment for the little children, a new garage to house the school trucks on school property, with one of the drivers acting as mechanic to care for them, thereby eliminating considerable of the high cost of up-keep, and a commer- cial department in the high school, whereby Wayne High graduates can go out into the business world equipped for this kind of work, without having to take expensive courses in high priced business colleges. ll ll Page Seventeen T IVVAYNE HIGH ' f 'fl' l9fl9ll FIQJQQQ, FRESHMAN , l D l FRONT ROW-Roy Davisson, Ralph Focht, Robert Douglas.

For the Alumni it is the big social event of the yearg for the graduates it is the crowning event of their high school life, and one which they will always remember. For twenty years Wayne High Alumni Association has so welcomed its yearly graduates. The Alumni Association was formed in 1908 with John Coffin as its first president and Ada Skinner as secretary. The first class banoueted was the class of 1908 with four members--Bertha Volbrecht, Grace Pepple, Edgar Fasig and Edward Moyer. Since then the classes have gradually increased in numbers until now the total membership is near the 300 mark. These are scattered all over the United States in re- sponsible positions of almost every profession. Eight members are deceased. It is not possible for all members to attend the regular yearly banquets of the Alumni because of distant locations and business conditions. But whenever possible it is a privilege pleasurably executed for members to be present at these meetings. If for no more than to bring back pleasant memories of school days, greeting old friends and classmates, and getting personally acquainted with the new graduates it is surely worth while. What alumnus does not cherrish the memories of the pleasant four years spent in Wayne High. True, there were exasperating moments at the final exams, humiliating thoughts when being chastised for whispering or writing notes. How many times would the tortured alumnus liked to have had the authority to subdue Professors Rankin, Gregg, Bowsher, Lehr, Stoker, Miller, Stough, Younger and Wilson. Or perhaps a few remember the times they would liked to have gotten even with Misses Harrington, Hick. Bailey, Beavers, Blouser, Huffman, Shank. Rosebury. Krautwater, Hartman, Augsberger, Keppler, Felland, Beyerly, Means, Crawford, Trumbull, Yinger, Wilson, Williams and Witteng or Messrs. Fasig, Lusk, Wilkerson, Wolfe, Jones, Wenger and Cook. But the pleasant memories are the ones that survive, and every Wayne High instructor's name mentioned above brings back many pleasant thoughts to Alumni members of happy associations with some of them during the past twenty years. X Wayne High Alumni Association has a purpose to perform. Keep interested in Wayne High school enough to keep posted on what is going on. Stand back of the fac- ulty and help put across the things that are right for the betterment of the school. It is still our school so lets be boosters for Wayne High as long as she lives.

This is the second year that we have had this sport. During these two years it has advanced very rapidly under the able supervision of Coach Cook. We won two games this season, the first was the defeat of Raymond and the second victory was the defeat of the St. Marys reserves fnearly the first teamj. The St. Marys game was the last of the season. Wapak gave us our worst defeat with the score at 44-0. This was our first game, but from this one on the boys gave a good account of themselves. The football team loses four players by graduation. They are Oscar Morrison, Ralph Heston, Glenn Wierman, and Richard Yale. BOYS BASKETBALL Wayne High had one of the strongest boys teams this year that it has had for several years. They dropped the first two games of the season, then settled down to real basketball. From then on any team that won from them won only after a hard battle. The boys defeated New Hampshire three times during the season, but were de- feated by Harrod a like number of times. In February the boys went to the county tournament. They drew New Bremen and defeated them 23-16. They next played New Hampshire and defeated them for the third time of the season. This put them in the finals against Minster. After a hard fought battle they defeated Minster and won the tournament. They had tougher sledding in the sectional tournament at Lima and were defeated in their first game which was played against Columbus Grove. The team loses four men this year by graduation. They are Glenn Wierman, Ralph Heston, Robert Pepple, and Harold Sproul. GIRLS BASKETBALL The girls had a fairly strong team this year. The girls played well the first part of the season, winning nearly all their games, but after an upset by New Knoxville and another one about a week later at the hands of Wapakoneta they lost nearly all their pep. At the tournament they drew Cridersville and were eliminated by a score of lg to 20. . The team loses Nellie Gossard, Dale Horn, Zelma Gullett and Cleo Davisson by graduation.

Although the instrumentation up to the present has been inadequate for giving a concert, one has been given with the assistance of players from Lima Central. The orchestra has also furnished music for basketball games, a play given for the Christian Endeavor, the Junior class play, and the Junior-Senior banquet. The instrumentation has been steadily increasing, and it is to be hoped that within another year it will be possible to have a school band, properly uniformed. Prepara- tions are being made to give a big concert or musical play during the coming summer, wh'ch event will help in the realization of the above stated aims. al' -I J .- LJ Page Twenty Seven vvwl, WAYNE HIGH, . ,lggfv K9 Q!

Clyde and Raymond Laycock, regular forwards on the team, are not in the pic- ture, having moved from Waynesfield immediately after the close of the season. This team is made up of boys from the Gth, 'Ith and Sth grades, and made a won- derful record for the season, winning 14 games and losing none. Among these games: were two games with Central Junior High of Lima, the Junior High teams of Wapak- oneta, two games with Bryan, and two with Gomer. The high school will fare well when these boys complete their eighth grade work. Five of them are entering high school next year. ll fl Page Twenty-Eight VV A Y N E I 3, HOME ECONOMICS DEPARTMENT ty-Une wig, WAYNE HIGH ,Iggy HISTORY OF CLASS OF '28 1Continued from Page Sevenj remained in high our Senior year, with the carburator adj-usted to full speed ahead, and we were rapidly closing our high school journey. Our boys were victorious in the Coun- ty Basketball Tournament. The Chapels were also very interesting, and each wanted to see what the other class would do. The Junior-Senior reception of '28 will long be remembered, also the Senior play, The Dummy, as being two of the most outstanding events of the year. The happiest period of our life, our high school days, will soon be over. Then our 17 members, some of whom have journeyed together for more than 10 years, will leave. Wayne Hi for their 1ife's mission, each perhaps to travel a different road. May Wayne. Hi be proud of each son and daughter of the class of '28, and may each member do nothing to lower the standards of Old Wayne Hi. Our class wishes to thank all those who have helped to make our high school days. successful. Especially do we wish to thank the parents and teachers, who have helped to make the way more easy. We especially thank our Superintendent, Mr. Wilson, for the interest he has taken in our class and all its activities. We may say as a class, He is one, that has taught us more, than can be found in text books, and as our 17 mem- bers go through life, if each will carry with him, some of the high ideals that Mr. Wil- son has endeavored to bring to us, the last three years, we will then find life to be worth living. Our class of '28 on leaving Wayne Hi, hope that each of the following classes will enjoy their Hi school days as we have. High school days are happiest, so make the best of them. May you look back and say: It has been four years well spent, we are ready now to go on. CLASS PROPHECY fContinued from Page Thirteenl He has been very successful and has won the confidence of the whole community. Cleo Davisson remained true to her promises to the Senior girls, by marrying a man eighty-five years old, who was fairly swimming in money. He died soon after and now: With the old man's cash, Cleo cuts quite a dash, and has all the fine clothes, young admirers and big automobiles she could possibly want. Floyd Dawson, the little boy of the class turned out to be a fine orator. His speeches are going down in history and literature as the finest examples of oratory in the English language. Robert Bob Pepple took up aviation and almost out-Lindied Lindbergh. Bob made the first trip around the world by aeroplane and discovered a new continent which was called Pepples in honor of the discoverer. It was snowing more slowly now and one fiake fell almost plain with none of the frills and fineries of the others, so I thought that it must be Alice Bowdle, for she w f 'y the only one left and her fate was not disclosed. When I found I could learn no mo K' I went back to the house well pleased with the news of my old time friends that I had learned. ll L Page Thirty-Two Egg, WAYNE HIGH , ,leg- Senior F arewel!
