We have tried to create something which would be preserved through the years by our schoolmates. We want to remember you and each other. We want to recall all of the joys, and even the trials, of our school life. Because this book is going to help us do these things, we appreciate the part you have played in making the 1934 Guide possible. As we approach the close of our high school days, the trials fade to a blackout, while the joys slowly take the spotlight. Another year begins to roll around, and We envy those of you who have taken our places. CQNTENTS DEDICATION 'k FACULTY 'A' SENIORS 'A' UNDER CLASSMEN ik ORGANIZATIONS 'A' ACTIVITIES i' PATRONS 5 the class ol 193 -4 MR. E. L. BOWSHER Superintendent Greetings to the Class of 1934. You have finished your course of training offered by the State of Ohio and the citizens of this community. You have done so in a creditable man- ner. It has meant much in effort on your part and sacrifice on the part of your parents and the citizens of Ashland. They now have a right to expect something from you in return. You are leaving Ashland High School at a time in the history of our country when the stuff of which young men and women are really made is given a most exacting test. Few periods have seen competition keener, social changes more in evidence, and opportunities for human service greater. To those who are qualified and willing to serve, the future should offer a place in the ranks. You are entering a new period in human relations where service will be the password. It may be a period when the souls of men are most sorely tried. It is our hope that this high school has contributed something to your sense of values through which you may weather unexpected storms and build most excellent futures. llay your success be abounding. O 6 To tlW6 class of 1934 O MR. J. E. Boi-IN Principal As members of the Class of l93-l you have not linislled anything. You have just reached another section of life's highway, a section less protected, more uncertain, littered with experiences of the past, fraught with numerous detours, but always leading somewhere. VVe be- lieve that you have acquired some of the personal qualities that will aid you in conquering per- sonal problems that will beset you. Due to a generous citizenship, you have been provided with full-time schooling, and we believe that you have acquired some of the knowledge that will assist you in making the journey more interesting and therefore less difficult for you. Bear in mind that you have received only a part of your educational heritage. From now on the receiving of the rest of it depends chiefly upon you. Be mentally alert, he physically fit, be spiritually awake, be generally tolerant so that you may take each step of the way with unfailing courage. One hundred and sixty-one strong you represent a splendid cross-section of Ashland and the sur- rounding rural territory. You represent a wide range of abilities, various interests, many homes. VVe hope you will use all of the privileges of citizenship open to you to make Ashland, or any other community in which you may live, a better community for you and especially' for your children. We congratulate you on having arrived at this point in your journey. Our best wishes are with you always. Your success is our successg your difficulties are our difficulties. Klay your success he in proportion to your efforts, and may your difficulties be few. 7 'lihere was a time when our faculty had an opportunity to prepare for an annual picture, for it was then an individual matter. VVe changed the order of things this year, however. All unsuspecting, our faculty was dragged from their classrooms one early spring afternoon, ushered to the steps of the auditorium, and posed, there to face the camera. Here they arel Not at all had! ln fact, quite good. XVe'ye agreed with them and quarreled with themg worked for them and against themg have felt moments of dislike and moments of affection for them. But, all in all, each of us has made many friends among them, and we're always sorry to hid farewell to our friends. E. L.

Now, again standing on the threshold, we of the graduating class look without toward the chances for achievement in the business world or for even higher educational en- deavor. Four years of constant effort and growth now pass in review before our eyes. In our first two years we see ourselves as a group of green but willing students. During these two years we improved very rapidly and succeeded in laying a foundation in science, mathe- matics, and languages. These subjects were fairly difficult to master and Latin in particular caused many headaches. Although we were still rather small, many of us were instrumental in forming the athletic, musical and other organizations of the school. In the third year of our endeavor, we found ourselves learning how to prepare many peculiar odors Cchemistryj and trying to master French and Spanish verbs. This year brought with it many social functions as well as its scholastic side. Under the able leadership of Paul Hazen we presented our Junior-Senior prom and to finance it some of our talented members thrilled a large audience with their interpretation of f'The Creaking Chair. This year school dances were started as a part of the school's social program and many of our group spent several em- barrassing nights until they could dance on their own feet instead of those of the girls. In our fourth and final year, we became acquainted with Physics, the more difficult parts of foreign languages, and the workings of our national and state governments. We found that clubs, other social activities and the striving for honors and scholarships, both scholastic and ex- tra-curricular, took almost more time from our studies than we could spare. We were very successful this year under the guidance of our leader, Bricker Ganyard. We are very proud of the fact that we have lost only about thirty members in our four years of high school. As every move upward and onward is the result of years of diligent preparation and in turn is the driving force which urges one to greater accomplishments, the graduating class of 1934, having equipped ourselves for the task now stand eager to enter the fray and acquit ourselves as befits a product of Ashland High. James McDowell 24 THE GUIDE W ASHLAND HIGH CLASS WILL We, the members of the Class of 1934, Ashland High School, located in the city of Ashland, of the county of Ashland, and the State of Ohio, being of supposedly sound mind and memory, do make, publish and declare this to be our Last Will and Testament in the manner following, that is to say: l We bequeath to the junior Class, what we learned about women from her. 2 To the Freshmen Class, our advice to follow not in our footsteps far afield, but follow the straight and narrow path.

Robert McCreary 25 THE GUIDE Q ASHLA'ND HIGH CARGLINE KATI-IAITQINE PILLE To Kliss Katharine Pille, who has taught in the Ashland School System for the past thirty-six years, the Senior Class of Nineteen thirty-four takes this opportunity of expressing its sincere ap- preciation and thanks for her many years of inestirnable service. sir 26 UNDERCLASSMEN THE GUIDE ASHLAND HIGH HISTORY OF THE JUNIOR CLASS The class of l35--some of us have fallen short of our goal, some have just reached it, and some, in their natural exuberance, have reached far beyond it--to everbody's surprise, and doubtless their own. When the long-awaited time came for us to migrate to the Cat that timej mysterious realm of the high school, we put away our lollipops with a parting affectionate lick, and packed up our bean-shooters and bubble gum for the transfer. In Jr. High we acclimatized our very sensitive selves to the surprisingly civilized atmosphere of the educational center-a drastic change from the jungle outposts of the district schools. We were quick to learn. Given sufficient hints, we could recognize the sign to close our gaping mouths without being distinctly told. That is-some of usg others contracted serious chronic disorders from the prolonged exposure of tender esophagi Cgullets to youl. During the Freshman initiations, some of the so-called stronger sex lost--not their shirts, as the saying goes-but other articles of masculine attire commonly referred to as pants. ln this year the embryonic pioneers in our midst blossomed forth and, daring the ridicule of the mob, blazed the trail to bigger and better dating systems. We proceeded to talk our way through the much-famed, much befuddled, and much razz- berried Sophomore year. Some of the bolder ones among us tried to dive deep into the depths of geometry, only to emerge choking and spewing out troublesome triangles. But we survived, and passed, in the customary manner of our noble predecessors, into the Junior Class. By that time, most of us were able to put on a fairly convincing act of bored sophistication. Some were pursuing dangerous careers in the chemistry lab. Hark! Even now one can hear agonized wails as a clumsy female spills corrosive acid on her imported Mongolian burlap skirt. The desks will probably bear new scars and the professors nerves will be deco- ratively frazzled by his class of independent and experimental chemists in the raw. The ones who felt that they could not stand or understand Cicero have taken the supposedly more pleasant alternative of French and have developed into abominable French spouters. Oh, but the pitfalls that befell the unwary ones and lured them from the straight and very narrow path to higher education. Some of our ranks fell by the way and had to push others over during the disastrously fatal Unasty-manning epidemic and are hopelessly degenerated. CPlease contribute for their upkeep. See Mr. Pross, chairman of the Anti-Penner com- mittee. D Others, equally unfortunate, have responded to the Siren call Come up some time, and have been seen no more by man nor beast. But, generally speaking, we have thus far survived, and are in our respective whole pieces. We are looking forward with our own peculiar brand of disquieting anticipation to our Senior year. So, with a cheerio, adios, adieu, auf wiedersehn and a toodleoo, we bid you farewell till next year. Rita Damm 28 THE GUIDE W ASHLAND HIGH Juniors I 29 THE GUIDE ASHLAND HIGH HISTORY OF THE SOPHOMORE CLASS ln September, 1930, one hundred and seventy-four boys and girls, the present class of '36, entered Junior High School. We could not at first get used to the spaciousness of Ashland High School, but our verdure soon vanished, leaving us eager to become a part of the high school life, which we had heard so much about. Because we did not find our subjects so different from those in grade school, we got through them without mishap. Not having had many scholastic activities in elementary school, we became enthusiastic over the few organizations open to seventh graders. The girls formed a Home Economics Club, which gave several luncheons and parties, while the boys, much to everyone's surprise, organized a Chef Club. The most important date in our history to us was September, 1932, at which time we proudly became known as Freshmen. We no longer hid ourselves in the dark recesses of the first Hoor corridors, but came out to sun ourselves in the upper halls mingling with those shining upper classmen. At that time a number of new enterprising students joined us from nearby com- munities and rural districts, swelling our proportions to two hundred and ten pupils. With hearts quaking we marched forth to meet those big bears, algebra and Latin. Under the capable instruction of our teachers we learned that these subjects were not impossibilities as we had supposed. Taking the hard knocks on the chin, most of us came through with colors flying. The fact that we had a good supply of gray matter was shown by the number of students on the honor roll each six weeks. Our representatives Sent to Kent for scholarship tests did well, considering their lack of experience. We were very much pleased to have one student place first and one, third. When we had secured a good grip on our lessons, some of us turned to outside activities. Several represented our class in the band, orchestra, and glee clubs. Not only was our class represented in these highest rating musical organizations in the state, but several rated high individually in the State lllusic Contest. Our boys showed signs of becoming good material for football and basketball in the future. We had one man on the varsity football team. lllany of the girls, desirous of earning a letter, worked hard on hikes, basketball, volleyball, soccer and kittyball. Of course, the Freshman girls were looked down upon by the other teams, but the worm turned and the Freshmen ran off with the kittyball championship. , Our Sophomore year too has been eventful. The Hrst thing we did was to encounter those enemies, Caesar and Euclid. lf asked concerning our battle with them, most of us could answer, to use Caesar's own words, Veni, vidi, vici. We are going still farther in athletics. Two boys made the varsity basketball team, while several others were on the junior varsity team. The Sophomore girls were represented on the Girls' All-Star Basketball Team. In these days of speed and stream-line action it is only fitting that our class fit itself to les- sen resistance against those oncoming currents of education. just watch the Stream-line Class of '36 for the next two years! Frances Griggs 30 HE GU DE Q ASHLAND HIGH W Sophomores I THE GUIDE Q ASHLAND HIGH HISTORY OF THE FRESHMAN CLASS We of the Freshman class of 1934 entered our first year of Ashland High School in the fall of 1933. Perhaps as we started on this altogether Qto our way of thinkingj mature path of knowledge we were a bit dubious as to the outcome. Would we master the difficulties of Latin, English, algebra. and science? Or would we fall to the lowest depths? However, as we proceeded our doubts began to vanish rapidly as we saw before us a path not altogether easy but relatively so, compared with our past ideas. Along this path we were skillfully guided by our excellent teachers. Miss Hopkins showed us the way, to correct usage of that difficult language-Latin, hlrs. Mandeville and hir. Paxton successfully steered us through verbs, nouns, pronouns, and other hardships in English, llliss Franz guided our wandering minds in the intricately round about paths to a true mastery of algebra, while hir. Lonero and Nlr. Wander led our eager feet down the halls of science. We freshmen Wish to express our gratitude to all of these teachers as well as to our principal and superintendent. Besides using our talents in studious ways some of us have loaned our ability to athletics. The girls have been successful in soccer, basketball, and volleyball, while the boys excelled in football and basketball under the capable direction of Miss Jardine, iVIr. Starn, and Mr. Lonero. We also feel quite honored to have as one of our members a varsity football and basketball player. Thus we have accomplished much from an athletic as well as a scholastic standpoint. Today we are hopeful that we have passed our first milestone successfully and shall con- tinue on an easier path until we reach our goal in 1937 as graduates of Ashland High School. June Freer 32 GU D Q SHLAND HIGH FVQSIWITWQH I THE GUIDE ASHLAND HIGH HISTORY OF THE EIGHTH GRADE Click! With a clear, easy swing the bright cover of the book of knowledge opened September, 1932 for one hundred eager boys and girls. What a thrill! At last we were really a part of the busy, rushing Ashland High School. Proudly we went to our assigned classrooms amidst the cheery hellos of our last year's schoolmates. In a short time we had settled down and were ready to start our interesting adventures in the world of knowledge. This was in the seventh grade, where we were obliged to take English, mathematics, history, and geography. A year later we opened another volume of the book of knowledge. In the eighth grade we busied ourselves with such subjects as English, mathematics, history, and science. In these classes we had several tests made up by the state, as well as numerous tests originated by the teachers in the various subjects. In English we enjoyed literature, spelling, and the study of clauses, phrases, and parts of speech. At the turn of the semester our history became citizenship. This subject proved to be useful to us who became interested in current events and the problems of our country. Our science was made interesting by a trip to the water works, where we obtained a more thorough understanding of the problems relating to water supply. Rflathematics brought untold pleasures, things we never dreamed of. Not only did we learn the fudamentals of mathematical science, but in addition, the principles of banking, insurance, and many other things which prepare us for the outer world. Although we found many of the pages hard to turn, we were, with the able assistance of our willing teachers, able to solve all confronting problems. The girls had home economics, where they learned the art of cooking and sewing. They formed a Jr. Home EC which met monthly in the home economics room. During these meetings we were entertained by plays written by the girls themselves. The boys, in woodwork class, learned to handle the tools used in carpentry. In this class they made book-ends, book-racks, and other articles of equal interest, all of which proved their ability as carpenters. Both bo s and irls took m. Teams were formed in the individual classes and ames were Y g gy g played to test the students' athletic skill as well as to prove their sense of co-operation and teamwork. With the pages of the book of knowledge slowly turning, we End ourselves expressing an inward desire to be a class which Ashland High School will long remember. Virginia Lacey 34 Eighth Grade THE GUIDE ASHLAND HIGH .gy i HISTORY OF THE SEVENTH GRADE Seven years ago, about two hundred boys and girls, with their tablets and pencils, marched forth to the little red school houses all over to the city for the first time. Last fall nearly all of this number entered the Seventh Grade as the graduating Class of 1939. The thirty niners have been very enthusiastic over High School Athletics. Already the Seventh Grade is well represented in the band and orchestra. Many students like to read and spend much of their leisure time at the library. The boys are interested in their gym and wood- work and have made good showings in both. The girls are interested in sewing and cooking as well as in gym. With Miss Pille putting her whole heart and soul into getting us to remember what we have studied, bliss Teeter's patience in teaching us the science of numbers, Miss Adams drilling us on our English, and Miss Culbertson's interesting classes in history we have earned a place on the honor roll and are sure of having a good class in High School year after next. Although we do not have much history as yet we are hoping that we have some very interest- ing history by 1939. Betty Conklin 36 THE GUIDE W ASHLAND HIGH Seventh Grade 37 THE GUIDE W ASHLAND HIGH ATHLETICS The athletic program for the 1933-34 season taken as a whole has been a fairly successful one. A deficit was recorded in the ledgers of the department for this season. This was un- doubtedly due to the fact that the 1VIansfield game was played away from home, thus cutting off the principal source of revenue. This was felt throughout the department as the other pro- grams depend on this income to defray their expenses. The members of the Athletic Board for this year are Mr. Bohn, Mr. Starn, Mr. Lonero, Mr. Paxton, Mr. Boyd, Mr. Gnagey, Miss Jardine, and Mr. Ryan. The student members are Paul Hazen, Dick Shively, Glenn Morrison, Bricker Ganyard, and James Hunter. The duties of this board are various and they include the management of the finances, the making of schedules, and the awarding of letters. It has done excellent Work in all these respects, and much credit should be given it. This year's football team was the fourth best in the history of the school, being exceeded only by the 1910 team, which lost no games, last year's team which lost one and tied one, the 1915 team which lost two, this year's team lost two and tied one. Nine letter men and four special letter men were back from last year to form the nucleus of the team. Several boys made the grade from the Junior Varsity and played excellent ball during the year. Captain John Depler, as usual, was the shining light in the forward wall. Lacey, McDowell, Strine, Heter, Emerson, and Keffer were all hard men to move, and not much yardage was gained through the line. The backfield men were all very small but made up for their lack of size in their speed and drive. Paul Ducky Hazen generaled the team and much of the team's success was due to his ability to call the right plays at the right time. His ability to pass and punt were also distinct assets. Bob Depler, Junior Varsity lineman, was made over into a quarterback and subbed for Hazen whenever necessary. Bob was an excellent place kicker and a fair punter, and with additional experience should develop into a fine player. Brick Ganyard was the speed merchant of the backs. His speed and broken-Held running ability was undoubtedly one of the reasons for the team's success. Joe Harvath was his under- study and a very fine player. Dick Shively played the other Wingback. Dick was very fast and a good punter, but due to a damaged ankle was unable to play a good part of the time. Jim Mazzochi was his substitute. Jim was fast and elusive and gained his share of the yardage. Harley Freer was the hard-hitting fullback, and the opposition were always glad when Jonas quit driving. lVIuch of the success of the kicking department was due to Frank Zercher and Grant Clark who were always down under the punts in plenty of time to prevent them from being returned too far. James Mazzochi and Oliver Red Chorpening were newcomers to the school and were welcome additions to the team. Coach Starn, taking advantage of the rule which states that a loose ball may be picked up and carried, devised a play whereby the center rolled the ball back, Keffer, playing a guard position, wheeled out of the line, picked up the ball and made many a substantial gain. One of the most thrilling episodes in this season's play took place in the Shelby game. Due to a penalty, Shelby was given a first down on our one inch line. In the four successive downs, they were thrown back to the twenty-five yard line. All who saw this game will surely remem- ber this feature. 38 THE GU DE Q ASHLAND HIGH Football Basketball I 39 THE GUIDE Q ASHLAND HIGH Due to the loss of such luminaries as Dolby, Thomas, and Brindle, Rosie Starn had quite a problem on his hands right at the beginning of the basketball season. Only two letter men- Hazen and Shively-and two special letter men-Grant Clark and Zercher- were left from last year. Bricker Ganyard, james Hunter, Gibbons Clark, Doc Poff, Glenn Morrison, Charles Hockensmith, and Bud Plank were taken from the Junior Varsity, and along with Red Chorpening, completed the lineup. Excellent ball was played for the most part, but when the going became tough the boys were apt to show their inexperience and this was in no small part the cause of some of the losses. Eight games were won and nine lost. The team broke even in their regular season, the ninth game being lost in the tournament, when they were eliminated by Fremont. The boys never played better ball all season than they did in this game, but were unable to overcome a lead established in the opening minute by the Fremont basketeers. The team was captained by Ducky Hazen who had three years varsity experience and showed it in his superior playing during the entire season. Ducky had the boys giving their best at all times and was the balance wheel of the team. Dick Shively was the next in years of experience, this being his second year on the varsity. Dick played a fine fioor game for the most part during the season. Frank Zercher had a large pair of shoes to fill when he took over the position vacated by Earl Thomas, but Frank did an excellent job and was instrumental in winning games and keeping down the scores of those lost. Red Chorpening subbed for Zercher until his graduation at mid-year. Red was handicapped by his lack of knowledge of the Starn system but played fine ball while he was in the game. Bud Plank soon earned a position for himself on the team and kept it by his hard work and fine playing. Gib Clark played a lot of ball but was ineligible at mid-year because of his studies and was lost to the team at that time. Grant Clark was a hard man to get past and was always in their fighting for the ball. James Hunter, Brick Ganyard, and Doc Poff were the other boys to receive their varsity letters. Ganyard was one of the best defensive men on the squad and whenever a tough guarding assignment was on the books Brick got the call. Hunter was especially useful because of his being left handed and hard to guard effectively. Jim was handicapped by his size, being one of those little fellows. Poff was a steady and dependable player and was always ready when called on. Special letters were awarded to Glenn Mor- rison, Charles Hockensmith, and Bob McPherson, who all played excellent ball when they got the chance. Much is expected of these boys next year. The Junior Varsity played a regular schedule and finished in second place in their league. These boys will be excellent material for next season. This years track squad has a nucleus of nine letter men from last year. These boys are W. Gerlach, B. Ganyard, R. Ryder, G. Carl, H. Walker, R. Fasig, F. Faber, W. Riley, and C. McQuate. The rest of the boys are all green material and not a great deal is expected this year. This year's schedule is as follows: New London, Willard-Oberlin, Norwalk, Mansfield Relays, Fremont-Lima Central, Mansfield, Mansfield District Meet, and Willard. The baseball team was dealt a distinct blow before it was organized. Paul Hazen and Dick Shively, veteran shortstop and catcher, respectively, were declared ineligible to participate in any spring sport because of the violation of one of the Ohio Athletic Association rules forbid- ding any participation in a sport after the school season closed. The boys did not understand the rule that way, but never the less they were declared ineligible. Both boys hit over .370 last season. Both boys were excellent players and their loss will be felt deeply. Shively has taken over the Junior Varsity and is coaching them. They won their first game of the season. Stub Morrison has moved over into Hazen's place at shortstop and Bus Hockensmith has taken Shively's place as receiver for the team. Paul Parker is the best of the hurlers and is expected to win his share of the games. Earl Urban and Jack Emminger are the other pitchers. The coaching staff of Ashland High School deserves a great deal of credit for the fine teams they have turned out. The success of the athletic endeavors of the school has been in a great measure, due to these men. The coaching staff is as follows: Football-G. D. Starn, F. R. Lonero, W. Pfeiffer, Basketball--G. D. Starn, and F. R. Lonero, Baseball, R. P. Paxton, Asst. Dick Shivelyg Track-F. R. Lonero. 40 THE GUIDE if ASHLAND HIGH ee 9 X xC,Hl4,y0 , 555'-Aly' NQAYN .A xk Kfv' A f7'5's 5 .gint I ' f 1,52 1 5 A if V A . ziffgbd f -f 'v f is BasebaH -I-FGCIC 41 THE GUIDE ASHLAND HIGH JOHN DEPLER The Senior Class wishes to extend its heartiest congratulations to John Depler for the honor he has brought to it by his selection as a member of the All-Ohio Scholastic Football Team. John was known as Ashland's Iron Nlann because he only missed participating in one game in his four years of varsity competition. John was unable to play in this because of a twisted ankle, which strangely enough, was not injured in a football game but from slipping off a step. John captained the 1933 team, was never known to take a penalty which didn't benefit Ashland the most. His ability in diagnosing plays was phenomenal, and he was always in the right place to knock down a pass or bring down a runner. Once again we congratulate a wonderful player and a grand sportsman. 42 CDIQGANIZATIGIXIS THE GUIDE W ASHLAND HIGH THE HI-Y CLUB One warm evening last September eleven boys and their adviser met under an oak tree along Jamieson Creek and outlined the program of the Hi-Y Club for the coming school year. The following are the results: During the football season the fellows who were available made sales at each home game. The revenue from these sales has gone far in helping to finance our program. On the evening of November ll, in cooperation with the Wooster Hi-Y, we sponsored a banquet for members of the two clubs and the football squads. This was a great success and we believe has done much to get boys of the two schools acquainted. Then through the cooperation of every member we presented the best rally of the year and as a result of our efforts we have possession of that much coveted plaque for at least one year and we hope that it will be retained next year. Throughout the basketball season our publicity committee telephoned home the score of each game played on a foreign court. This committee also supplied each visiting team with milk between halves at home games. Much of the time at each meeting is used to discuss some of the problems that confront us in every-day life and some that we will have to face in the future. Several of our members represented the club at the state Hi-Y conference held at Wooster. The social chairman has done much good work in arranging several potluck suppers, and in putting across our invitational dance. This was something new for the club and everyone there enjoyed himself, although the financial report ended on the wrong side of the books. Early this spring, through the cooperation of the Girl Reserves and the teachers, we brought Dr. Slutz here who gave some very valuable information and started some of us thinking on the matter of our education after we finish high school. Toward the end of the year a father and son banquet, which was very successful and then the biggest event of the year-the annual Hi-Y banquet. In conclusion we wish to thank our most capable adviser for what he has done to further the success of the club. Pres. Paul Hazen V. Pres. Bricker Ganyard Sec. Franklin Zercher Treas. Charles Garretson JR. HI-Y Messrs. Tieman, S. R. Boyd, and J. E. Bohn were instrumental in the organization of the Jr. Hi-Y club in Ashland High School. In the fall of 1932 Mr. Boyd and Mr. Bohn met with the Comrade Club to form the Jr. Hi-Y. At this meeting it was decided that a Jr. Hi-Y would be of great value It was decided that all boys who were in the eighth to tenth grades would be eligible for membership. And so with the funds of the Comrade Club, the Jr. Hi-Y was started. The new club spent the first year mostly in getting organized. The club took part in a sub- scription campaign and aided the Sr. Club in various ways. Since last year the membership has been doubled and the club has taken a more active part in school activities. Two representatives were sent to the Hi-Y conference at Wooster with the whole club attending the final session. Next year the Jr. Hi-Y is looking forward to what it hopes to be the best year of its existence. Pres. Kenneth Gongwer V. Pres. Clifford Smith Secy. Hubert McCuen Treas.

The Girl Reserve insignia, the blue triangle, symbolizes on its three sides body, mind, and spirit. The meetings were held every three weeks and the program for the entire year was planned as a voyage, the topics being in appropriate sea-faring vernacular. At Camp Wildwood, near Columbus, a Girl Reserve conference is held every year, and two girls from the Senior Club attended this conference to get ideas for programs and to become acquainted with Girl Reserves from other high schools in Ohio. The social events of the year consisted of a hike and picnic supper, pot-luck and candle light service, the long-awaited Father-Daughter party, a dance, and the Mother-Daughter banquet. The Senior Club had charge of the Easter chapel. The girls in the club showed splendid cooperation in all they undertook and with this spirit they ended a very successful year. Pres. Katherine Murphy V. Pres. Rose Marie Weaver Sec. Sara Jane Arnold Treas. Betty Toomey THE JR. GIRL RESERVES This year the Girl Reserve Organization, which was founded nine years ago, was divided into two groups. The one is called the Senior Girl Reserves and the other the Junior Girl Reserves. This division was necessary because the original club was becoming too large for efficiency. Meetings were held every three weeks under the direction of a capable leader. Such topics as Honor,,' Modern Recreation, and Service were discussed. These meetings, several of which were joint with the Senior division served to bring the girls closer together and to create a better understanding. The Junior club had charge of two assemblies, the one a Christmas Chapel and the other an athletic rally. The athletic rally tied for second place in the rally contest. The two clubs cooperated at Christmas to dress dolls for children as part of their service program. This was just one part of the many services which they yearly direct. Miss Tetter, Mrs. Ganyard and Miss Culbertson were the faculty advisers chosen by the fledgling organization. llflrs. G. D. Starn and hlrs. Burns were the city counselors. Pres. Margery Burns V.

The original plan was that anyone taking French was eligible to membership. The resulting organization proved to be too large and unwieldy so it became necessary to divide into two groups. The club comprised of those students taking their second year of French was named Les Grognonsf' while the group made up of first year students was dubbed Les Enfantsn meaning the children. The purpose of Les Grognons is twofold, first, to create interest in the life of the French people and to achieve skill in the use of the language. This is realized through a program of study and discussions. Second, to create friendly relations between French and American students. A lively correspondence is carried on between club members and French students studying English which served to achieve the second aim. In order to make membership in Les Grognons something to be proud of, the membership rules are strictly enforced. First, a student must have served a pledge-year as a Les Enfantng secondly, he must have had an average of C or better, thirdly, he must have passed an oral ex- amination before an eligibility committee. ' The social calendar of Les Grognons is carefully planned out each year. In November Les Grognons have their annual dinner party a la francaiseg at Christmas, a carolling party, in April, a Musicale-Teag lastly, in May one day is set aside on which Les Grognons go gaily dressed in French colors, bright smocks, and berets. The day is climaxed by a dance. Les Grognons of Nineteen hundred and thirty-four hope that Les Grognons of the future will continue to uphold the reputation established by its founders three years ago. Pres. Werner Gerlach V. Pres.

Alice Shearer USHERS - During the past six years the Girl Reserves of Ashland High School have furnished the ushers for all programs presented in the McDowell Auditorium. The value of this service becomes apparent when it is realized how frequently the work of the ushers is required. Not only do the eleven girls, who constitute the ushering force, take charge of coupon reservations. They also serve as door guards, attend to programs and perform many other useful services incident to handling the crowds which flock to auditorium attractions. This work is without remuneration of any kind but it is as valuable as any for which the school must pay. The auditorium management welcomes this opportunity to express its gratitude to the Girl Reserve Organization, to the sponsors who so willingly help select the ushers and, in particular, to the ushers themselves who render this valuable service. This year's ushering force is under the capable direction of Kathryn Murphy who has faith- fully carried out her duties as head usher. In this respect she has followed in the footsteps of Rosemary Ferguson who directed last year's ushers. Both these young ladies have distinguished themselves by rendering valuable services to the school and to the auditorium management. It is always with regret that the management sees a group of capable ushers graduate and join the ever growing ranks of A. H. S. alumni. But it is with pleasure that another group of young ladies is received to carry on the work. This long continued service of the Girl Reserves has established a tradition of service and usefulness in Ashland High School. F. E.

The Girls' Athletic Club is the largest organization in Ashland High School. lt has a mem- bership of over two hundred girls in the freshmen, sophomore, junior and senior years. This organization encourages the girls to participate in various sports. A point system is used for tennis, soccer, basketball, volleyball, kittyball, and hikes. When four hundred points have been earned and the girl is a junior, she is awarded a large orange A with a small G on it. A chevron is granted for each additional two hundred points. The present club has several three- chevron members. It is not easy to earn the points. On an average of twenty girls are out for each team, and most of these girls are experienced athletes. Therefore, competition is exceptionally keen. The activities have been rather scattered this year, with the hikes ending in pot-luck suppers, and other affairs terminated by parties and interesting discussions. Three outstanding accomplishments for the club this year have been: The all-star basket- ball game, put over in such style that a nice sum of money came to rest in the treasury, the annual basketball banquet, a well attended affair, always, and the dinner party held for one hundred and twenty-five school children. These little folks spent the entire afternoon playing games under the supervision of the girls. Miss Marian Jardine, girls physical education instructor, has very capably served as adviser for the club. She has been capably assisted by Miss Amy Lou Snyder. G. A. C. won school recognition by taking second place in the rally contest. They did this with their Just Kids rally, featuring Stinky Davis and hlicky McGuire. Pres. Betty Toomey Vice Pres.

There were eleven girls who were eligible the first semester and ten more Were initiated after the first letter-day assembly. After several short meetings in the gym which Were held for election of officers and discussions on the topics of the year, the club held its first formal meeting in October. The third meeting which was held in the Girl's Gym was in the form of an initiation for the new members. The members were put on probation for a Week, their letters were taken from them and in their place animals made of cambric were substituted. The girls wore these for the required length of time, after which the old members agreed to their final acceptance into the club. Topics discussed Were: f'Athletics in Foreign Countries, Dancing, Ideas and Ideals, Athletics in Ashland High School, and Winter Sports. The first year of the A, taking into consideration that it was just formed this year, was quite successful. The girls took a great deal of interest in the club and its discussions and thor- oughly enjoyed its activities. Officers of the club: Pres. Janet Brubaker Sec. Marjorie Patton Treas.

The club meets every other Monday night in the fclub rooms. The first meeting of the month is for business and general discussion. The second lmeeting the club has a party. A special party was held at Christmas time this year. Each girl brought a child of pre-school age to the club rooms for an evening of recreation and refresh- ments. Gifts were presented to the youngsters. The Ashland High Club is a member of the Ohio Home Economics Association and sent two delegates to the convention in Columbus, April fifth and sixth. Awards are presented to girls for special work done throughout the year. This may include serving on a committee, helping with banquets, and on scholarship. A plaque is given the girl with the highest scholastic standing. For two-hundred fifty points, a girl is given a large letter A with H. E. C. in smaller letters across the bar. For five hundred points, she receives a Betty Lamp. If she reaches one thousand points she merits a trip to Cleveland visiting the Home in the sky, and other points of interest. The club was lead through a successful year by the advisers, Miss Pauline Fierce and Miss Frances Brundige. Officers for the past year Were: Pres. Rose lVIarie Weaver V. Pres. Evelyn Piper Sec. Loretta Adams Treas. Bernice Yarman THE JR. HOME ECONOMICS CLUB The jr. Home Economics Club was organized September 14, 1933. A group of over one hundred enthusiastic seventh and eighth grade girls elected the following officers: Pres., Pearl Leasong V. Pres., June iXIcAdoog Secretary, Helen Wensingerg Vice Secretary, Helen Bedwellg Treasurer, illartha Jean Brandt. With the assistance of the Home Ec. teacher, Miss Brundige, the club held interesting as Well as entertaining meetings. It is the plan of the club to buy a tea urn for the Dining room with the money made by it. At Hallowe'en and Christmas, parties were given in the Girls' Gym. These evenings proved to be higly enjoyable. This promising young group looks forward with great pleasure to the Sr. Home Ee. Club of which they soon hope to become very active and out-standing members. 54 THE GUIDE if ASHLAND HIGH Home Economics Club Jr. Home EC.

These students receive academic credit for their Work, due to the fact that it consists not only of page work in the library but involves a study of library science. This includes the rudiments of cataloging, filing, reference work, etc. The club has fifty-five members this year who carry on the organization. The clubs most important activities this year were the Tatterman lvlarionettes, which they sponsored in the High School Auditorium, and a benefit bridge-anagram party in the boys' gym. The outstanding thing most of the pupils look forward to is the trip they are entitled to every year. That is the one thing they work for. This year their destination was Cleveland. Interesting places were visited and a large high school library carefully gone through. Much was benefited by this trip. The club's officers were chosen in September and meetings were conducted at the end of the second or third week. Ralph Aten Paul Boyer-Pres.

The purpose of this organization is to promote interest in farming, leadership, cooperation, thrift, recreation, and scholarship among the rural students. The Ashland Chapter has been outstanding in its project activities. ln the past year one hundred seventeen projects were completed making a total labor income of over twelve thou- sand dollars. This year we have a project selection of one hundred thirty eight, an average of more than two per boy. During the noon hour between sixty and eighty boys participate in various athletics. Basket- ball, volleyball, kittyball, shuffle board, and ping pong are all enjoyed. Each year we organize a basketball team to represent our department against rural high schools and other F. F. A. chapters, and this year as usual, we have won our share of games. The apple judging team was the most successful of the many different teams, winning second place in the state. One member, Virgil Wertz, was second high man in the state. The meat judging team was also Very successful, with a member, Paul Boyer, taking Fifth place in the state. This year our representative, John Kestner, won the district Public Speaking meet, and took second in the state. Ashland High had four state farmers elected at the conference in June. Those winning the honorary title were Ernest Dohner, Roger Hiller, John Kestner, and Virgil Wertz. Ernest Dohner 56 THE GUIDE Q ASHLAND HIGH Library Service Club Future Farmers of America I 57 THE GUIDE if ASHLAND HIGH THE MUSIC DEPARTMENT The Music Department is divided into three main groups, namely, the band, the orchestra, and the a capella choir. All three of these are under the capable direction and supervision of Mr. Louis E. Pete. Nlr. Pete has been a friend and adviser to everyone of his members and has established a built our Music Department into one of the strongest in the school. But along with the build- ing up of his department, he has also made great strides in the individual player. It is now pos- sible to take lessons on any instrument you desire to play. All of these instructors are capable and well trained. Mr. Pete has been a friend and adviser to everyone of his members and has established a friendship with his players that will never be forgotten. Everyone is one hundred per cent for our director, Mr. Louis E. Pete. This year the High School Band has followed the age old custom of our former bands, and has again Won a State Championship. Beginning back in 1931, when the band first entered a contest, they walked off with the honors and have been doing so ever since. The band gave two concerts this year, one at Savannah and one in Ashland. Besides the con- cert they also marched for parades and local gatherings. Also the band was one of the drawing cards at the football and basketball games. The band backed the Ashland teams this year to the limit, ever going out of town to follow the team. This year the state was divided into districts with a musical contest in each district and a final contest in Columbus. The band tied for first place in our district with Ashtabula Harbor. But in spite of this, we think our band is the best in the state. The orchestra is without a doubt the finest the High School has ever had. It is a symphonic orchestra, having a complete orchestration. The Orchestra also competed in the district contest at Kent and the final contest in Colum- bus. At Kent the Orchestra won first place and a superior rating. This is the third consecutive year for the Orchestra to receive this rating. The Orchestra then followed in suit with the band and won a state championship at Columbus. This year's orchestra also gave a concert in Ashland besides helping out materially the High School plays, by playing suitable music between acts. It is an established job of the orchestra to play at the plays given at the auditorium. The a capella choir is the newest singing arrangment in the Music Department and this year has shown itself quite capable of maintaining the high standard of the Department. The Choir gave more concerts than the band and orchestra and therefore received more experience. The Choir journeyed to surrounding towns and high schools and gave numerous concerts. The choir is steadily improving and we Wish it all the luck in the world. An a capella choir is something different and difficult, but we are sure that Ashland High will back it and put it over. 58 ASHLAND HIGH THE GUIDE if , SH' 59 121 Band 0fCh6Stfd I THE GUIDE ASHLAND HIGH CONGRATULATIONS When any organization can come through with four decisive state championships and a tie for the fifth, there seems to be a strong indication that the respective members, together with the leader, are heart and soul in the work. State champs in boys' glee, girls' glee, a capella choir, orchestra, and a tie for first place for the band! Almost a perfect record, and, in music, there can be no such thing as perfection. Tone, interpretation and technique constantly improve. Nlay the interest fostered throughout your school days be but the beginning of a great happiness which your music will give you. DRAMATICS CLUB The Dramatics Club by the Gods of Shakespeare, was duly organized at the beginning of the school year under the direction of lVIr. A. B. Gorsuch. After the election of officers, plans were made for the induction of aspiring pledges. It was solemnly decided that all aspirants were to pass a judged reading test before they were taken into the club. If they survived this ordeal, they were to entertain all old members at a party. At the party the old members were entertained by skits put on by the new members. These acts were duely judged and passed on by the audience. For all bad acting, the actors Were given sentences by Judge Gorsuch. These penalties were carried out the next morning under the guidance of the old members. . After the pledges were duely taken into the club, work was begun on the annual Dramatics Club play. The next few weeks were filled with intensive study and work with the result being publicly shown on Dec. 19, 1933, in the High School Auditorium. The attendance was small because of the Christmas season and therefore the financial result was not so very beneficial to the club. Late in the year several one act plays were presented in assembly. The purpose of these plays was to give more of the club members a chance to participate in dramatics. These plays were enthusiastically received and were very worth while. The season's activities ended with a final party at which charms were presented to those people who had a sufficient number of points to win a charm. The club will be carrying on next year with even a more extensive program than this year's club had. Pres. Lacey V. Pres. B. Ganyard Sec'y.-Treas. J.

I was just reading in the papers the other day how that famed torch singer, Ruth Vanderzeil, had had her face lifted for the fifth time in ten years-say maybe there is something in this time flying after all. Take for instance Paul Hazen who just led his American League Ball Club, the Hayesville Pinchitters, to their third successive world championship. But wait, l a'most forgot, the strangest is Dick Shively, he's a radio broadcaster now. You would think that one so quiet in his younger days would never have the nerve to go before the mike. Maybe you would like to know, the present champion of twiddle-de-winks Herr Gerlach defends his title against the Arkansas cowboy, John Kestner tonight. They are the cream of the heavyweight crop and should present an unforgettable match. Pardon me while I tune in on the radio, I don't want to miss Zercher and Sprague, Radioland's funniest comedians, they're even better than Burns and Allen ever were, but maybe it is because we have television now. Jack Jacobs and his Harmony Princes are on with them and they have a swell blues singer by the name of Scott Hanville and you ought to hear him sing 'mammy' songs. There is one program I can't stand and that is The News of Todayn presented by Harriet Reaser, she even formed a gossip club justlso she could do all the talking and all the other women just have to listen. The Flo Ziegfield of the day, Mable Reich, is presenting her eleventh annual Paris Review, which is the musical show of the year with Janet Brubaker as the leading lady and a Russian baritone, Bob lVIcCrearyski as the leading man. Some of the comedians are Ruth Bowsher, the lllarie Dressler of today and Bob Fasig, a second Joe E. Brown, as his fans call him. I am afraid you will have to pardon me again as it is time for me to go out and milk the cows, you see my hired hand, Jim Hunter, never could learn how and where to milk a cow so I al- ways have to. Well, here I am back again and I just thought of a lot more to tell you. You know Betty Toomey is an old maid and running a column Advice to the Lovelorn in Grant Clark's Chicago Blast, Doc Poff, star batsman was sold to the Savannah No-stars last week by Manager Hazen for a couple of hundred thousand dollars but that just rounds the league into a closer race. Jim McDowell is a big broker just dabbling around in stock awhile. IVIary Louise Easterly broke the class's reputation as a non-marrying one and got hitched to some one, may he rest in peace whoever he is. Well I am afraid it is getting nigh on to ten o'clock and my bed time so good night. Bricker Ganyard 63 PAT R CD N I. I S T ASHLAND HIGH SCHOOL ANNUAL, 1934 Ashland Drug Co.
