We. the Seniors of the Archbold lligh School of 1912, submit this first volume of the Bitter Sweet to the public, trusting that it will be re- ceived in the spirit in and for which the book was prepared. The Seniors as a class wish to thank the other classes and organiza- tions of the High School who helped us so faithfully to make this An- nual a success. The Bitter Sweet, dear readers, comes to you with our school life, once your school life, on its pages. Be the work praiseworthy or other- wise will you accept it, remembering that we are just one of you with like capabilities and powers and that we have done the best we can? And so we salute you. THE CLASS OF NINETEEN TWELVE. Apitatrajili Mail to thee, oh Hitter Sweet, Emblem in thought and flower; Of our High School hours. Now past and gone forever. For bitter have been some lessons. And bitter have been some days; Vet sweet is the crown of Honor, And sweeter is well earned praise. Oh, High School days that seem not made to fade away, Oh, School of Life, that is to make us useful clay. I know not which is sweeter. No not I. I fain would follow High School if that could be. I needs must follow life which calls for me; Call, and I follow. 1 follow, let me go. Sunuu't tn thr A. ii. 8 . See as I linger here, the sun grows low; Cool airs are murmuring that evening is near. Oh, High School from thy portals I go Consoled, tho sad. in hope and vet in fear. Brief is the time I know. The warfare scarce begun. Yet I would fain he near Thee, when I have won. Still flows the fount, whose knowledge strengthened me. And in Life’s battle, when the rise and fall of fortune tide, Shall rock men's fates, mine, their ships will guide. Thy victors names are vet too few to fill, Heaven’s mighty roll, that detests ill will. Yet I am proud. The glorious armory, I hat administered to me, is open still. L. R.

Just to live those old days o'er, be a boy at home once more, In that dear old Brush Creek valley far away. CLAYTON SCHUSTER. .. iFnrnmirii .. e, the Hitter Sweet Staff of 1912. have thought it fitting to leave a monument of our literary talent in the form of a High School Annual. The object of this Annual is to portray real high school life. It was with some hesitancy that we decided to edit this volume, since it is an innovation for the school. It is always difficult to bring in new ideas into any sphere. If this little brochure can only create an appreciation for what years of school life have wrought and for what it aspires to do in futurity, then the staff feels that their work has not been in vain. We have hoped to make this a memorial worthy of fond remembrance when school life becomes real life. It deals with the life of the entire school. Although certain phases had to be omitted, the object has been to incorporate in it what- ever will be most interesting to the students of the school and the mem- bers of the alumni. In the preparation of this work the different classes of the school have been willing and eager to assist in every possible way. Their help has been an encouragement and an inspiration to us. The business men of Archbold have also lent a helping hand. Only bv their lovaltv and sup- port in our advertising department was it possible to make this a success. I o all these and to others who have given us their assistance, we wish to extend our thanks. ()ur appreciation is in proportion to the great amount of assistance given us in this, our first attempt.

With leaping pulse; with eyes some dim, some bright From which within, our lamps of knowledge beamed, We place this book before you, which to us has seemed. The very essence of our life; our light. And while you turn its leaves and read its name, May the ice (?) about your heart melt as the snow ()n mountain heights, and in swift overflow, Come gushing from your lips in praises of its fame. Make thou a full confession; and a gleam As of the dawn on some dark forest cast, Seems on our foreheads to increase; Bitter and Sweet—the remembered dream And the forgotton sorrow—give at last Those craved praises which give perfect peace.

English (Emirar nf S’tm'ui The course of study of the Archbold High School has been re- vised and another year added to meet the requirements of the State Board of Education for a First Grade School. Under the new charter just granted March 11, 1911, by State School Commissioner Zeller, the students who are graduated from the Archbold High School are exempt from all entrance examinations and receive full credit for the four year’s work done here in all the lead- ing colleges and universities of Ohio. Also by a special Act of Rec- ognition our graduates are exempt from entrance examinations and are given Freshman standing in twenty-six of the leading colleges and uni- versities outside of Ohio. In order to get this recognition and college standing our physical laboratory had to be overhauled and almost an entirely new complete and modern set of apparatus purchased. We now have one of the very best laboratory out-fits any high school can afford. Our library also had to be re-classified and increased. Over one-hundred and fifty volumes of reference books and others for research work and supplementary reading have been secured. We have found that a course in either History, English or Science in which the student is confined strictly to his own text book is narrow and barren of fruitful results. Since our High School course has been completely revised from the modern scholastic and psychological point of view, and has received the approval and recognition of higher institutions of learning, we take pleasure in soliciting the inspection and patronage of the interested youth who are looking for solid school work and the recognition of the same in public life. MATHEMATICS. English for imagination and expression, science for hard cold facts and humility, Latin and German for culture, but mathematics for mental discipline. No one subject in school requires so much diligent study as mathe- matics, no one contributes so much to the development of the reasoning and perceptive powers. Again no subject is of so much practical utility after leaving high school to the student. We thus have borne this two- fold object in mind and have likewise strengthened our course. Algebra. One and one-half years are devoted to this subject. In the Freshman year the four fundamental operations are securely mastered. Also much attention is given to the rapid manipulation of factoring, di- visors, least common multiple, involution and the extraction of roots. Much time is given to radicals and the application of the Binomial theorem, also to the solution of equations with two or more unknown quantities. The theory of exponents is taken up in detail and problems from various texts used. The first semester of the second year takes up the quadratic. Here much time is spent. A few days are given to the review of the radicals and then problems involving quadratics are selected from every source. College Algebra is also introduced and imaginary quantities, recurring series, logarithms and graphs each receive special emphasis. Geometry. The cultural value of this subject is inestimable. It teaches a student two things: first, that he must think; second, that he must tell the truth. One and one-half years are devoted to this subject, the first year taking up plane Geometry, emphasizing the triangle and relations of all polygons. The second semester of the third year is devoted to solid Geometry alone. e use Smith-W entworth s text, of which there is none better for lucid demonstrations and the large number of very practical originals at the end of each book. Spherical geometry is especially made interesting by charts and figures. Commercial Arithmetic is also taught for a few weeks in the Senior year to assist those desiring to teach or go out into practical life. No text book is used, just problems from business and educational journals. LATIN. Possunt, (juiu posse ridentur.—Acncid 5, 231. Believing that no one can appreciate fully his mother tongue until he knows its source, the Archbold Nigh School ofifers a full four vears course in Latin. The first two years are required of every student and the last two strongly recommended, especially to those who expect to do college work. During the first year the time is spent in mastering thoroughly the var- ious conjugations and declensions. The uses of the different moods and tenses of verbs and the cases of nouns are carefully explained and illustrated. The comparison between Latin and English is brought out and English derivatives from Latin words worked out in an interesting way. Enough vocabulary is learned to prepare the pupil for successful work in Caesar. A note book is required for credit. A quick but thorough review of the first year’s work occupies about the first two weeks of the second year. The rest of the time is spent on the first four books of Caesar's Gallic War. The histoi ical and literarv value of the work is brought out and Caesar himself is studied as a man. as a general and as a writer. The Latin constructions given each day and composition work once a week emphasize the grammatical rules most com- monly used. A note book is required for credit. Cicero’s four orations against Catiline and the orations for Archias and the Manilian Law are read the third year. I lere an excellent oppor- tunity to study Roman Political life and Roman oratory is given. One day each week is given to prose composition, the more unusual and com- plex forms being emphasized. A note book is required for credit. The last year of the course takes up the first six books of Virgil's Aeneid. The versification and scansum of the poem are studied thorough- oth the year. The figures of speech and the excellent descriptions are carefully pointed out. Much time is also given to the study of the life and character portrayed in the story itself. V irgil’s object “to inspire the patriotism of the Roman's is kept well in mind and often referred to. A short synopsis of the poem completes the work of each book. MUSIC. “The man that hath no music in himself, Nor is not moved with the concord of sweet sounds, Is fit for treasons, strategems and spoils. Let no such man be trusted. And since the Archbold Public School aims to turn out the most trust- worthy men and women, music is begun in the First grade and continued until the Senior year in High School. The work is under the direction of Prof. Tubbs, of Bryan, who comes to us once a week. At least fifteen minutes each day and sometimes more is spent in singing. This year new books, which contain excellent material, have been puschased for the High School. We have already learned choruses from several of the well-known operas. Several times the Seventh and Eighth grades have united with us for the music period, thus paving the way for better work next year. We have shown good musical ability and with the larger High School we hope in the very near future the work can be made most successful and enjoyable. GERMAN. The German language, a sister to the English, and having the same common origin, is recognized as one of the most practical of all modern languages. Realizing the importance and practicability of this language, the Archbold High School offers a two-year course. The aim of the first year work in German is to get a firm founda- tion of grammatical principles, and to become acquainted with practical German expressions and their use in conversation. The beginner is made to feel the meaning of the language, for the object of the study of Ger- man is the language principally, and not the grammar. 1 he grammar work, based on Collar and Eysenbach's text, is supplemented by Bacon’s “Im Vaterland,” a book which introduces the pupil to the real German life that is lived in “Deutschland. Several of the representative Ger- man poems arc also learned. In the second year Collar’s Rysenbach and Thomas’ Practical Ger- man Grammar are used as reference books. The work aims to pre- pare the pupil for college entrance requirements. In order to converse in German in the class-room, a Pamphlet called “Class-Room German, designed to facilitate the pupil in the use of a large vocabulary and of idiomatic expressions, is used. In addition to the translation of several German classics, stories and essays are written in German, and German poems and songs are learned. Following is an outline of the reading: Gliick Auf, Finer Musz Heiraten, Eigensinn, Das Edle Blut, L’ Arrabbiata, Hoehen Als Die Kirchc, Immensee, Germelshausen, Der Lindenbaum, W ilhelm Tell. HISTORY There is perhaps no study in the High School curriculum which can be made mose interesting to the average boy and girl than history. It has been said that “history repeats itself. If this is true, it is only by a careful study of the rise and fall of the earlier powers that we can predict with any degree of intelligence the future of our own country. The work in history is begun in the Junior year, when Myer's Gen- eral History is studied. The pupil is taken back to the earliest periods of which we have even the slightest knowledge, and from that vague be- ginning he traces the rise of the human race through its varied fortunes up to the present time. Current events are also called for frequently and at the close of the year the conditions existing at the present day are dis- cussed at some length. Three complete sets of encyclopaedias and various single volumes in the school library are a valuable aid throughout the course. During the first half of the Senior year United States History and Civics are studied intensively, while in the grades the pupils have learned the main facts of these subjects, and the object of the Senior course is to classify this knowledge. The different periods of our history are worked out as units then combined to make a connected whole. In addi- tion to the general class work, especial topics are assigned from time to time. Debates, often extemporaneous, are sometimes held. Here again the library affords excellent opportunity for reference work. Passages taken from historical and political novels add great interest to the class when time permits. SCIENCES. We have three years of Science in our High School Course. We feel as though it is the happy medium between the two and four year courses offered by so many schools. There is no one other study in the high school curriculum that brings the student face to face with nature, her laws, with life and its broader and more beautiful conceptions as does the study of science. Physical Geography is studied in the first semester of the Freshman year. The relation of climate to plant and animal distribution, the study of the great climatic changes in prehistoric times and their landmarks which we see today, the study of the “reliefs” of each continent and of the many physical forces existant form the most important features of the course. Botany is taken up in the second semester of the Freshman year. Here the student takes up in detail the study of plant life as it really is on the physical earth he has builded during the previous four and one- half months. No subject in the high school is more charming and yield- ing in nobler conceptions than is Botany. The last six weeks are spent in plant analysis and a complete herbarium of thirty mounted flowers is necessary for graduation. Agriculture is given an entire year in our course. It naturally and logically falls in the Sophomore year. The previous year’s work in Physical Geography and Botany furnishes the student with sufficient working ideas, vernacular, material and ground-work upon which Agri- culture depends. The laws and conditions governing the successful propa- gation of our most important food plants, the study and analysis of the soils, the testing out of the soil to determine the kind of elements lacking and the relative values of nitrogen, phosphorus and lime for different farm crops, the study of successful breeding, the study of weeds, insects and economical conservations make this study both charming and fruitful in results. PHYSICS. The work in Physics is taken up in the fourth year of the High School course. An effort is made to so arrange the work that it will be of equal value to the student whose education ends with the High School course and the prospective college student as well. The work is taken up under the heads of Mechanics, Sound, Heat, Magnetism, Electricity and Light. The subjects of Mechanics, Sound and part of Heat are cov- ered the first semester, and the work is completed in the second semester. This has become one of the most interesting subjects in the curricu- lum since all experiments can be explained with our additional labora- tory apparatus. The course consists of class room work four days per week, accompanied by illustrative lecture experiments, and one day is de- voted to individual laboratory work. The application of some of the fun- damental laws of nature are studied and pointed out in their relations to everyday life. Special work in actually producing electricity by different methods and the explanation of these phenomena, forms the most interesting feature of the course. Millikan and Gale’s text book is used. Students are required to keep laboratory note books and must record all work done. At least thirty authentic and recorded experiments are required for graduation. ENGLISH. Even progressive person today realizes that one of the essentials in every walk of life in the ability to write and speak the English lan- guage correctly. The purpose of the English Course, which extends through the four years, is to gain a knowledge of the essentials of grammar and of the practical application of its rules and principles, and to lay great stress upon the importance of reading the works of best authors as a means to enable the pupil to appreciate good literature and discriminate it from the inferior. The aim of English I. is to develop the pupil's power to express his thought clearly and interestingly. Constant practice in composition is gained by daily and weekly themes; and frequent consultations are held for individual criticism and instruction. Besides the drill in the elements of punctuation, grammar, and sentence structure, classics are read and discussed in class. The work in Composition and Rhetoric is based on Lockwood and Emerson's Text and covers the first two years of the course. The English work for the second year, in addition to the text-book- work. consists of class-room reading and discussion of choice classics, which furnish abundant material for narrative and descriptive themes, character sketches, and book reviews. Attention is also given the col- lateral reading for special examination. The work of English III. and IV. is combined and the course is alternated. The history of English and American literature is studied, and representative classics are read and discussed in the class-room. A note book with the work done in outline form is required. Emphasis is placed upon short themes of literary appreciation on subjects drawn from the classics. A survey of the work of other representative writers is ob- tained by extensive collateral reading, and the thoroughness of the work- done is tested bv special examination in the form of questions, book re- views and critical papers. The outline of the course is as follows: Freshman Year:—Composition and Rhetoric. Scott's Lady of the Lake. Shakspere’s Merchant of Venice. Irving's Sketch Book. Goldsmith's Deserted Village. Sophomore Year:—Composition and Rhetoric. Eliot's Silas Marner. Franklin's Autobiography. Shakspere's Julius Caesar. Tennyson’s Idylls of the King. Scott's Ivanhoe.

Bunyan’s Pilgrim’s Progress. OUR PROFESSOR. A man with mind both great and strong, ho belongs to the world's deep thinking throng. In wdiose advice we find no whim— He's been the High School's strongest limb. In guidance, sure, he can't be beat; He justly fills the honored seat. In basket ball lie's coached a team That now stands on the highest beam; In other things he did the same, That now a front rank we can claim. What would we’ve done if not possessor Of so noble, grand, and wise Professor? His motto is “To Do or Die;’’ His rulings we can justify Of being always right and fair And. as he says, right “on the square. The numbers never shall grow lesser Of the ones who say “He’s Our Professor.” —Written by C. Eugene Schuster, March 29th, 1912 C. E. GERMAN. Mae S. Hull, Principal. Metha C. Stuempel, Assistant. T.

TEACHER’S SOLILOQUY. To teach or not to teach—that is the question, Whether ’tis nobler in the class-room To let the minds of pupils wander as they will. Or, by efforts, dentist-like, to extricate The facts that they have never wished to know. Or more, I trow, by our influence to turn the thoughts From talk of basketball and annuals that they hear. Or, by dismissing class, to say we end The pains and heartaches and thousand other things That teachers are heir to—’tis a consummation Devoutly to be wished. To drift—to sleep— To dream, perchance to wake; aye! there’s the rub! For in that rest what thoughts may come Oh state inspectors when we least expect Must give us pause; there’s the respect That makes calamity of a teacher’s life For who could bear the failures and mistakes. The wild guesses, the bluffs that fail. The looks of pupils, the sinking of the heart That needs must follow when to try To show them off to visitors who might Take a notion to question of back work. To grunt, to scold, to labor night and day. To overthrow the tricks that boys may plan And girls may urge on by their laughter Don’t make us gray and wrinkled e er our time. But we must ever be prepared To meet the wants of boards and parents and the rest. Thus duty doth make heroes of us all. JANITOR DEPARTMENT. The department of janitor in the public school is as important as the departments of Mathematics, Science, Language or Gymnastics. For upon the sanitary condition of the school building and grounds in general does the health and activity of the child depend. We are thankful that this department of our Public School is so well taken care of and that at no time have we had cause to murmur. Our Alma Mater The Freshman speaks:— Mail to thee, my Alma Mater. Thus I claim you for mine own. In you we will reap great harvests Of the tiny seeds we’ve sown. I'he Sophomore speaks:— Day by day my love is growing, For you my dear fostering mother. May we live and learn to love you. Die before we love another. The Junior speaks:— For three years I’ve toiled and labored, Under your kind guard and care; Now I see as in clear vistas Mines and fields of knowledge rare. The Senior speaks:— Fare you well, my Alma Mater, Through my mind’s perspective vast Runs a thrill of pain prophetic Of thy joys forever past. LOUIS GRIME. Bocraraoi 8 ruUu (ClaBB President ....

Her favorite sub- ject was English and in this she excelled. In the subject of elec- tricity she was also parexcellence and won renown for “shocks. Hazel is destined to teach. She has a romantic disposition and would like to first take up the ferule in some western state far away on some Inman reservation but we hope it will be nearer home and that our annual class meeting will find her present. She says the most serious loss of her Senior year was that of her older sister to some Lochinvar from Delta. Shall other Loch invars come and go? HERSCHEL E. GRIME. “Hardy.” for it is by that name that we know him best, was out class President and basketball star. He was the happy combination of those two very rare qualities-—a thorough student and a great ath- lete. He shall ever hold a cherish- ed corner in the hearts of bis classmates and athletic admirers as one who always did his best all the time and without murmuring. Hardy was our bashful boy until the second semester of our Senior Year when a wonderful transforma- tion took place. Ask us no ques- tions for the fault may fall on one of the Senioritas. LOUIS R. GRIME. Louis was the Poet and Musician of our class. He was Editor-in- Ohief of the Annual Staff and on bis shoulders fell the brunt of the battle. Just how earnestly and courageously he did this work let the beautiful pages of our annual speak. Louis’ Senior year was marred by his having to undergo the tortures of a severe case of tvphoid fever. Rut he overcame it all and graduated with Honors. His favorite study in school was English. His pastimes were spent in writing love lyrics and reveries rivaling those of our Whitcomb Riley. He anticipates a Business College Course. LAWRENCE H. LEAVY Lawrence early in his high school career formed the habit of never getting excited or in a hur- ry. Ilis specialties were science and mathematics. He was noted for liis clear, lucid demonstrations and mastery over originals. Lawrence was always busy, both in school and out of school. lie could do a half dozen things mi once. He anticipates a business career. We know he will be suc- cessful. In a few years we may hear of him as being the leadio chemist in some large city. lie had so many favorite expressions, and girls, that we will not at- tempt to name them all. Perhaps one—Miss Ida. could better act the class Ivstorian of “Our Tommy.” All bail the Irish Shamrock! IDA B. NOFZIGER. Ida was the “scrapper' of our class. She never lost any time searching for diplomats expres- sions when trouble was on, but straight fioni the shoulder came her blows, powerful and well di- rected. Ida had a series of ro- mances in school. Xo names will be mentioned. If interested, con- sult the class president. Her school life was happy and well spent She had a happy, optimistic way of looking at all misfortunes which endeared her to both class- mates and instructors. Her favor- ite studies were botany and astron- omy. She simplv detested Latin could endure German, but was cap- tivated with “Irish.” May her fu- ture days be as well directed as her school days. MABEL E. NOFZIGER. Mabel bore the enviable reputa- tion of having the best deportment record in school. Her earnestjjes; and sincerity of purpose was ever an. encouragement to both class- mates and instructors. She was a true disc'pie of the creed that more comes in life “from perspiration than from inspiration.” She vn also our class artist, and with what degree of esteem we should cherish her let the silent urn wings speak. Mabel finished the High School course without many romances. She may teach n -xt year or else take a business course in college. Whatever she may venture, the best wishes of her classmates and teachers will ever be present. EDWIN RUEGER. Not many years hko there was born a laddie destined to be a sci- entist of universal fame. He was christened Edwin, but was known as our “Edison in High School. Edwin antic pates a course in elec- trical engineering in some of our leading universities. We know wc shall hear of him in years to come as being a great genius, a great in- ventor. Already he has made a dynamo, that is no bluff and in the agricultural and physical labora- tory departments bis ideas and in- ventions were of incalculable val- uc. Edwin was also a great de- bater. He had a certain Hazel aff'nity for which he has given no scientific reason. We hope he will do all and then more than our fondest wishes. ALBERT STAMM. Albert bears the enviable distinc- tion of being the youngest member of our graduating class. He was our class comedian and fun-maker in general. We think we shall beat of him some day as playing the leading role in some great comedy drama. His instructors will always remember him as being a very bright, cheerful little fellow and one also that “would bear watch- ing. Albert’s big Hit of the sea- son was his comic reading at the Senior recital, entitled. - • He also made good in basket nail and baseball. Albert was especial- ly strong in mathematics and sci- ence. His favorite expression was. “What for did you do that already so soon? MAEBELLE R. SWISHER. Maebelle was the “spirit of un- est in our class She was captain ,f our girls’ basket ball team, Se- dor class yell composer, and sec- etarv. She was noted for her sun- � • disposition and two d!mules in ier cheeks. Her school life was ineventful and happy, her friends rd admirers many. Her favorite xpression was. “Who wants to 'now ” Her aesthetic nature was l,own by her love of Indian cos- umes, hair dressing and literature. ;he anticipates an illustrious col- ege career, and the good wishes or he class go with her. THE SENIOR’S REVERIE. The day is done, and the darkness Falls from the wings of night; And my thoughts are wafted upward. As an eagle in his flight. A feeling of sadness and longing Oppresses my soul tonight; In the gentle years of our childhood, You are our greatest delight. When through long days of labor, And nights devoid of love, I’ll think of thee and thy blessings. Akin to those from above. And the quick tears drown my eyelids, As I think of leaving thee now; May your crown of knowledge and sincerity Be placed on every student’s brow. When years have whitened my temples, And I long to go to my rest, I’ll think of thee, dear High School, As the author of all I loved best. And I know that my heart is breaking As I turn from your portals away. I’ll love you, by Alma Mater, Till the trumpet of Judgment Day. —LOUIS R. GRIME, T2. CLASS SONG. We're just a bunch of students, faithful and true To our dear old Archbold High School. Of all wisdom taught A part we’ve forgot. Yet our love for you, Archibold, ceases not. CHORUS: O, Archbold High, dear old Archbold High, We’ll think of you many a time. We’ve stood by you— We’ve ever been true To our dear old Archbold High School. We’ve a lesson learned in dear Archbold, Character is our true diploma. Thy colors, green and white, Stand for the right; Thy grace we crave to sound thy praises due.

Here’s to the illustrious class called Juniors. May their paths of life be as smooth in the future as they have been in the past, and may they, when they are Seniors, do something for A. H. S. that will live after they have gone and prove to the world that the class of 1913 was the most intelligent that ever stepped out of the threshold of school life.

Ruihley Lydia Short Alva Coy Junior Class History hen we entered High School, three years ago, we were known by the institution as a jolly bunch of fourteen “Freshies.” Although we worked very hard, we always saw the bright side of school days. W e started out in our Sophomore year having left six of our fellow- students behind, some of them having preferred to work rather than to partake of the joys of High School life. Nevertheless, with our class of eight, we labored the harder to make up for our small number and were rewarded by being ranked as a very intellectual group, but before the term had expired we were again minus two faithful members. An- other fellow-student, Alva Coy, also left our midst to attend the Evans- port High School, graduating from there in the same year. When we launched out upon our Junior year, still undaunted by our gradually decreasing number, we were a crew of six, having been again joined bv Alva Coy. and although the smallest class in the High School, we were one of the foremost inbooming the old A. H. S. e not only excelled in our school work, but in the athletic world as well, for did we not furnish our basket ball team with one of the cleverest guards ever known in Northwestern Ohio? Also in a dramatic way we have shown unusual talent and skill, in the play which was given, called “Farmer Haskins.” No doubt, when the baseball season opens, we will again be called upon to furnish material for the organization of a successful baseball team. Having mastered our giants—geometry and Cicero—we will bid farewell to the name Junior, and next year strive to be the most dignified Seniors in the history of the A. H. S., always adhering to our motto: “Re lifters, not leaners.” CLASS HISTORIAN; JUNIOR CLASS POEM.

In the fall of 1903, about thirtv-five bashful tots gathered at the school house to start their school life under the care of Alice Vernier. After a happily spent year in the primary room, all but three or four were promoted to the second grade. About this time Ralph Rychener and Marv Ehrat thought us too slow and moved a class in advance. After the first year the time went quickly, our ranks being altern- ately joined and deserted. While in the fourth grade we were saddened by the death of Mildred Mahler, one of our classmates. When we were eagerly looking forward to a happy year in the eighth grade. Prof. C. G. Miller announced his resignation, to our dee]) regret, as we had always found him kind and helpful. His place was filled -the following year by Thomas Orr from Weston, O., who at the end of the school year thought it expedient to ski]) the country. It was during that year that we received our first grade charter. As we passed from grade to grade some of us were wise and some were otherwise. In the seventh grade Sylvan passed the Boxwell examination and entered the class ahead of us, but his place was filled by the arrival of two new members, Ivan and Viola. When at last we entered High School our class numbered nine, but was soon raised to ten by the advent of Lester Nofzinger. When we entered High School we found it to be entirely different from the grades. We had a new Superintendent, Prof. C. E. German, who taught us to hustle, much to our advantage, as we soon organized our class and got in line with the rest. We have contributed our share towards athletics. Two of our girls have starred in basketball, and several of our boys hope to make first team next year. We have learned to row and not to drift and we are ready to paddle our own canoe through the Sophomore year. CLASS HISTORIAN. FRESHMEN CLASS POEM. At the school house one September morn. Ten Freshmen stood with looks forlorn. The Sophs., they jeered them and they said: “Wait a week and you’ll he dead. But the Freshmen, not dismayed, Calmly answered: “Who’s afraid?” So into the school they went; In work and mischief time was spent; Each day they laughed and worked and frowned. Unitl at last, with looks profound, They found the end was drawing near Of this most happy Freshman year. And now that days were growing few. The Sophomore year came into view. “Just wait,” they said, “and you will see What a Soph, class ought to be.” Oh! red and black! to you we re true. And ever right, we’ll strive to do. TO THE A. H. S.

We are proud to know that we are the largest class that has ever attended the Archbold schools. As we passed from grade to grade, some joined our ranks and some left them. When we began our school life there were eighteen in the class, that have come thus far together. In the third grade we were joined by Esther Kutzli; in the fourth, by Olga Hoffman, Hazel Miller and Alfonso Perney. The following year we were joined by Almeda Broadbeck and in the sixth grade by Glen Whipple. This year Sylvester Grime and ()tto oilier came to complete the class roll. The Eighth Grade is noted for its fine work in Arithmetic, History and Geography. We have several pianists and violinists, and considerable talent in vocal music; although Prof. Tubbs says we sing too loud. Most of us expect to complete the High School course and hope in 1916, to have the largest class of graduates in the history of the institution. CLASS HISTORIAN. EIGHTH GRADE. Stop! Look! Then listen! To the Eighth Grade's little rhyme. We’re the class that does the things And gets them in on time. Now we’ve reached the Eighth Grade; And work is piling high, Still we’ll struggle and he victors, Before we ll pass it by. Miss Miller is our teacher, The “Strictest on Earth,” you know. When she says a thing she means it. And we all know it’s so. We hardly ever whisper. Except—well, we’ll not say. But we try to do our duty. And do what comes each day. Hickory tea. and strap oil. too, t omes very often when mischief we do. ()ur class of twenty-six is young. And we just can not hold our tongue. And we will second be to none In all we undertake. For us arithmetic is won. Who wins at the highest stake. There arc twenty-six of us. That will take a six months’ rest. Then we’ll be the Freshmen In the dear old A. H. S. Then here’s to the Eighth Grade's future. The class of Silver and Rose; May it stand in honor forever. As it in prosperity grows. ARTHUR El CHER. 0 AGRICULTURE. To comply with the Cahill hill, which has been enacted into a law, all public schools, whether village or rural, must teach agriculture. In compliance with the aforesaid law the Archhold public school has made its Course in Agriculture especially strong. Not only is a text-book used on this subject in the seventh and eighth grades but one whole year is devoted to a deeper and more scientific study of the same in the High School course. There was a time, nor is that time far removed, when it was said that anybody could farm, and. a man who read, studied and tried to adopt some of the so-called “new fangled ideas” from the experiment station or who sent his boy away to an Agricultural School was regarded as little less than a fool. But those arc bygone days. So great has become the “bread and butter question of this nation, so desperate has become the struggle for existence, so high priced are our food-stubs, that the great question in the minds of our political econ- omists is: “How to increase the productivity of the soil and thus meet the demand of a constantly increasing population.” Just a look at the statistics of the annual yield per acre of our important farm crops in ()hio will convince any man that something must be done. The government at large is trying to solve this question. They have established a Department of Agriculture at Washington, 1). C.. which sends out literature free to anybody and everybody who will ask. Agri- cultural colleges and experiment stations have been established in every state that they may better serve the farmer by being in closer touch with him and his environment. Then about two years ago the Cahill bill became a law and that provides for the teaching of agriculture in all the public schools. We had a great year in the agricultural class this season. No other class in school was so alive and enthusiastic. Our dis- play at the farmers' institute received marked attention and we were congratulated by all. We have a fine laboratory outfit for all practical purposes. We shall have a room separate and entirely devoted to and for agriculture next year. T • V BACK TO THE FARM. Backward turn backward, oh, boy, in your flight. Turn your face homeward to rest for the night. Back where the horses and cattle do roam, In the rich meadows, their most pleasant home. Back to the gate and play as of old. Back to the place that shelters from cold. And to your mother who shields from all harm. Back to the farm, boy, back to the farm. Turn back to the place on the hill. Back to the swimmin' pool close by the mill. Listen once more to the squeeling of swine. Be frightened again at the dog’s dismal whine. Oh. how familiar the shearing of slice]). I'he buzzing of mower now ready to reap. Harsh words from father should cause no alarm, Back to the farm, boy, back to the farm. There on the farm no sickness is known, It's where Health reigns supreme and alone. (iracefitl in form and ruddy of cheek. There go all invalids for health to seek. Look then, young man, to the proof that’s above. Go to the place that all sane men love. There on the acres strength in mind and in arm. Back to the farm, bov, back to the farm. C. EUGENE SCHUSTER. PHYSICAL LABORATORY. A cut of a corner of our physics laboratory may be seen on the next page. e claim to have one of the very best laboratory outfits to be found in any high school. e may not have as large a laboratory as some schools or a college, for in very large city high schools they must needs have four or five sets of the same kind of apparatus to accommo- date the student body, but we have all the necessary pieces and more too than is demanded by any laboratory manual or text book on physics. 1 he work in physics is intensely interesting. Many of the laws of mechanics, sound, heat, light and electricity are verified bv actual experimentation. 1 believe the class this year learned more physics and realized more during the two days each week in the laboratory than from the text book in the recitation room. The performing and recording of at least thirty well chosen experiments is necessary for graduation. 1 he class is divided into sections when working in the laboratory so that practically individual work is secured. All data and method of work must be checked (). K. before posted in experiment book. We are especially strong in apparatus of mechanics and electricity. 1'he power plant being located here gives us ready access for first hand investigation. Atljlrtira The absolute necessity of good, wholesome athletics in our public schools has long ago been settled. All city schools have special teachers and trainers in the different departments of athletics who receive as good a salary and hold as high a recognition from the school patrons as do the professional teachers themselves. Keen our small towns are awakening to the fact of the need of athletics in school and hire some physical direc- tor to take charge of the public school athletics and perhaps teach a few classes besides. A healthy brain must have a healthy body, hence plenty of sun- shine, fresh air and exercise. Some parents argue that they can furnish plenty of work at home to suffice for any needed exercise. They are wrong. Children need plays and games. Something that is exciting, attractive and cheering, hence something that will relieve the mind of school day or home troubles. Yes, all athletic play is hard work but not all hard work is play especially the drudgery of some home work. There is a rational limit to all things and the author has that thought in mind and thus hopes that this article may not be taken as an argu- mentative one but that it may afford something to think about. Again. 1 quote Coach Yost of Michigan State University, who de- clares that more can be done on the athletic gridiron than any place else toward teaching our young men to be manly and courageous and lovers of clean, honest, square deals. The Archbold Public Schools have the right spirit toward athletics. We are as yet in our infancy along this line but are coming fast. Ath- letics have been sadly and deplorably neglected here and the effect on the Nigh School is only too bitterly seen. But we learn fast. When the school year of 1911-12 opened last September 5th there was no or- ganized athletics of any kinds. Now we can boast of two very clever basketball teams in the High School. Our girls’ team have won more games than they lost while the success of the boys is phenomenal, having defeated all teams in their class and captured the High School cham- pionship from Pioneer, ()., in the tie-off game at Bryan, March 29. Grammar school also has a fast team organized. We hope next year to have organized athletics in school. Our gymnasium must be re- paired and kept in order. A good football eleven and baseball nine will be organized. Military drills and machinations would be very profitable work for the grades. YELLS. Boom-a-lacka, Boom-a-lacka, Bow! Wow! Wow!

It was indeed an innovation and like all new ideas and projects had to live down certain existant, petty prejudices. But we are sincere in saying that the girls’ basketball season was a flattering success. While they did not win all the games, they won the majority of them and often outplayed and outseored teams heavier, older and much more experienced. They have this one indisputable honor at least, that is: they were the most clever looking and attractive High School girls’ team we have seen this year whether on or off the Archbold floor.

BASEBALL. As soon as the weather would permit, a baseball team was organ- ized. with Ralph Kvchener as manager and I lazen Vernier as captain. We do not expect our baseball season to be as arduous, illustrious and successful as was our basket ball season, for in the latter we ac- knowledged no superior, but we expect to win our share of the games and establish a High School baseball record for Archbold. The following schedule of games has been made out but as vet no games have been played, so that we can give the score in this volume of The Bitter-Sweet, but we hope to have an average around the 1000 mark.

Xo track team was organized because most of the time was devoted to baseball; yet we feel sure that a good team could have been organized, for a number of the boys proved themselves worthy of becoming good sprinters as well as good in jumping and vaulting; in fact, every form of athletics was well represented. drama ..

The program consisted of the Class History. Class Adventures. Prophecies, Readings, h.ssays and Music, it not only portrayed their rhetorical and oratorical ability, but also their worthiness of being Seniors. Their class yell and song revealed line class spirit. The second excellent program was a comedy-drama, “Farmer Has- kins, given on February the ninth and tenth, by the Juniors and Sopho- mores. I lie play met with great success, and was given each night in the presence of a very large audience. “Farmer Haskins was a revela- tion of the large amount of talent, the combined classes could, and did furnish. The Junior and Sophomore classes, known as the High School Dra- matic Company, again furnished the stage with a very well played drama, “A Receipt for Ten Thousand Dollars. on the fifteenth of April. This drama, also proved a great success, and showed the increased dramatic power of the company. I he breshmen play, “Silas, the Chore Boy. given on the first of May. was next in order on the list of our dramatic skill and called forth much public applause.

The Only Hirl. given on the twentieth of May. This drama re- vealed their power very well, in the dramatic line, and proved their worthiness of becoming graduates in every way. F. M. S. A TEACHER'S REVERIE. The teacher sat in the twilight, Thinking of things said and done— Of pupils who wanted to do right. And of those who came just for fun. And she thought of those days not forgotten, hen she was a child just as these— How temptations came to her often. Not to study her lessons, but tease. .She smiled as those days came before her, And thought of those schoolmates of yore. Who had gone to success or to failure, Or passed from her sight, by the score. I hen she turned to those now in her keeping. And wondered what time had in store; What fortune would come with the reaping Of seeds they had sown long before. What part had she in that sowing? Was she nurturing the young life aright? Could she be all wise and all knowing. And see through darkness to light? Was she ever too hasty in judging? Was she ever unkind or unfair? Could she know every motive in doing, Or in the innermost feelings have share? She sighed as darkness came 'round her. But then the brighter side shone; 1 hough the task seemed heavy to ponder, She knew she was not alone. hor around her were myriads of forces, Each doing their share every day, As they flowed from numberless sources. ith the Oreat I eachcr still holding sway. So she smiled as she thought of the laughter And fun of the childhood days; And prayed that in the hereafter W hen it came to the parting of ways— 1 hat each might go away stronger. That somehow, some word she had said Might go with each to make better And brighter the life to be led. Should auld acquaintance be forgot, And never brought to mind? Should auld acquaintance be forgot. And days of auld lang syne? (Refrain) For auld lang syne, my dear, for auld lang syne; We'll take a cup of kindness yet. for auld lang syne. LITERARY PROGRAMS. At the beginning of the year we decided that each class should give a program once during the school year. Then the hoys, girls and faculty should follow in turn. But this plan was not followed out in detail. Dramatics became popular and in a little while two or three organized dramatic companies of the A. H. S. were playing to packed houses. The spirit and talent of the students was remarkable, and this was intensified bv the loyalty of the townspeople and “comps from the same. Below is a program of the first program—Senior—of the year: Music........................................................Orchestra Class Song Debate: “Resolved.

Early in the year the Board of Education decided the library needed a complete overhauling, re-cataloging and classification. Miss Metha Stuempel was accordingly appointed librarian. Our library now shows up with some taste and class. The door receipts of our programs were heavy and a committee on “Books Needed has been appointed, and before another year we will have not only what we have now—an excellent col- lateral and supplementary reading library, but one filled with more refer- ence books and material for research. ... 5?nrifty ... One of the pleasant features of a high school life it its social side. This year our school has had its due share of social activities. The first social entertainment was an informal party given by the Archbold basketball teams to the West Unity teams after the game, October 27. Our next social gathering was at the Rink hall when we became acquainted with the Fayette teams at an oyster supper. The oysters were relished by all. especially by Miss Bochstaller and Mr. German. On Thanksgiving eve. Nov. 29. the Archbold High School royally entertained the Pioneer basketball teams at a sumptuous banquet. With the exception of a few minor incidents, the evening was thoroughlv en- joyed. After a grand march we were seated at two long tables which were very prettily decorated with flowers and the High School colors. Professor C. E. German was symposiarch, and admirably filled this place of honor. When called upon. Superintendent Rhinehart and Professor Kyper responded in a very witty manner, with toasts. The rest of the eveinng was spent in games and in guessing contests. The prizes were awarded to our honorable superintendent and the facultv of the Pioneer school. On the evening of March 18th, Edwin Rueger showed his hospitality by entertaining the worthy members of the Senior class, chaperoned by the faculty. Notwithstanding the difficulty in securing means of trans- portation. the guests arrived in due time and took their departure at a late hour, after an enjoyable evening. Miss Mabel Xofzinger. one of the favorites of the Senior class, pleasantly entertained her class and teachers. May 3rd. At a late hour the guests returned to their homes feeling that the evening had been most thoroughly enjoyed. One of the most pleasant social events of the latter part of the school year was the faculty reception for the members of the Senior class. The pleasures were all entered into with great eagerness. Every en- tertainment has been a great success. Alumni ♦Married. 1891. ♦Boldry, Bertha Whitehorne.......................

The second man looked mad hut Mr. German said: “My dear sir. I don't know which of us is to blame for this violent encounter, hut 1 am in too great a hurry to investigate. If I ran into you, 1 beg your pardon; if you ran into me, don't mention it''—and he tore away at redoubled speed. The phrase, “lie’s a brick, originated in the Archbold High School, when on a certain occasion Miss I lull, pointing to the High School stu- dents. said: “These are my pupils. Every one is a brick. Miss Stuempel, speaking of marriage, says it’s like every other dis- ease. While there's life, there’s hope. “Can you tell me the last addition to the English language?” “Ask some of the girls. They always have the last word. Miss Stuempel had difficulty in pronouncing bachelor one day, and cried. “()h, what an aggrevation. When asked why, she said: “Because they don't get married.” The worst case of selfishness on record is that of a Freshman on the second day of school. lie complained because Miss Hull gave another member of his class more questions than she did him. Manv times a small bird is able to overcome a man. For instance. “A Lark.” Mr. German said that “science enumerates 588 species of organic forms in the air we breathe. Just think of it. Every time we draw in a breath a whole zoological garden slips down our windpipes. “Herschel. don’t you think women are more sensible than men?” asked Ida. Herschel, after scratching his head for a minute or two. said: Why certainly they are—they marry men—and men only marry women. “But, Miss Hull, do tell me how old you are? “Oh! but 1 don't tell my age any more. I am just as old as I look —there.” “Indeed. I thought you much younger. � .j..♦. «j� .j � - � j. «:« « •s ❖ ❖ � i ❖ m • • ♦ � !♦♦ • •: ;• :♦ ♦:« � ► • :• ► •; ❖ • ♦ •; ;• •£• � i •{• ; ;• • i ❖ ► •; •� • •; •j� } • 2 {• i t % 4 4 Ulben in need ot some Fine .lob Printing ❖ go to The flrcbbold Advocate ❖ lob Rooms and get your Printing done.
