'1'5 mu-nu u Revoir NOTHER task accomplished and each member of the Staff breathes a sigh of relief as the Crucible goes to press. Another task accomplished-how well, we leave it to you, modestly soliciting your indulgence for whatever short comings may appear in this volume. A sincere effort has been made to create such a volume which will in future years, pleasantly recall days spent in Berea High School during the school year 1922-1923. If this endeavor has been realized we feel that we have not proved unworthy of the trust reposed in us. Our one regret is that we could not shut out all the errors, which have crept between these covers. The Staff wishes to express its appreciation to those, who have helped, guided and made it possible for us to present to you the Annual number of the Crucible. Special thanks should be given the student-body for their splendid co-operation, to the faculty for their friendly advise, and the kindly interest they have displayed, to our advertisers, who have given us the necessary financial support and last, to the typists who have given much of their time in typing Crucible articles. VVe have endeavored to make this number as attractive as possible by again installing an autograph page. Qui' aim dur- ing this school year has been to make the Crucible bigger, better and more democratic, giving each individual a share in making the high schoolpaper what he or she would wish it to be. The Staff takes this opportunity to wish the incoming Staff every success in the future year. We relinguish our place to them, probably with a sigh of regret, but with the earnest de- sire that they profit by our mistakes. -Lydia Roelznz, '23. Dedication ALLUVVICD by tradition and glori- fied by age is the relationship of student and teacher. As an evidence of our appreciation of this time honored bond of friendship, we dedicate this, our annual, to our teachers. -Rn B E TSA H 151-owq g-s Dlc H G QE Musuc AFT BO EQ Cwacs FRENCH 'T H EN JR O S R45 E F ART I.

Although she is a native of Columbia she really seems just as if she belonged here. Iva likes dates and a lot of other kinds of fruits, and we think that there are several people in town, who think that Seminary street, es- pecially the encl near the city hall is a pretty nice place to wander to in the evening. MILTON BARBER By thc tcorli, one knows the ZL'0l',i'lIZf17ZU If you want to find out all about League baseball, or the latest Court case or the presidential campaign or in fact any current topic just ask Milton-he will tell you all about it. There probably isn't anyone in the Senior Class that follows the newspapers and topics of the day as faithfully as he does. VVe are proud to say that he is a member of our graduating class. JAMES BARCLAY Tall, blond, and trersatilef' Prof is at the head of his class-in height. He is noted for his ability along radio lines. It is known that he studies his Algebra, while listening in to some concert or interesting speech. No wonder he rattles Algebra off with such ease. VVhile in High School Prof has made a great many friends who wish him the best-o'-luck in all he undertakes. HELEN BECK A lrue friend is forever I1 friend Do you happen to know a girl who always has a cheerful smile? If you don't well it's time you were becoming ac- quainted with her. And if you want to have some type- writing done, Helen is surely able to do it. No wonder she is tall and slender, she has plenty of exercise for she walks way down from Pearl Street, morning, noon and night. JULIUS BERGMAN Uflfy mind to me I1 kingdom is Nat'l, of the Senior Play, is an all around good fellow. He specializes in Chemistry and helping the Athletic Asso- ciation. Every VVednesday you can see him collecting the Athletic dues from members of the class. At other times he is selling candy for the benefit of the Association. Due to his willingness to help people, he has made a great many friends at Berea Hi. HAROLD BLACKBURN A merry .heart Nlflkffll fl cheerful countenance Blackie and his Drums, and his Can -the three insepar- ables-at least they used to be. But now that the consump- tive Can has been replaced by a shiny Chevrolet, with a self-starter and everything-well that's different. There are lots of girls, particularly one, who much prefers riding in a Chevrolet. MARTHA BRADLEY Ever rlmrming efver ne1c ' Nlartha is one of the jolliest people in the Senior class. She is always ready for a good time. She is especially fond of the nickname Nanny . Each night Martha can be seen carrying home an armful of books. VVe know she will suc- ceed in the future in whatever she plans to do. LAVERNE BROIVN Wie doubt not that for one so true, There must be nobler rcorb to do. Brown-Brown-why Laverne Brown of course. She's a quiet, modest unassuming miss of the Senior Class. She is quite a distinguished member of the class along the line of athletics as she has been a star forward and Captain of the Girl's basketball team. In whatever work she may take up, all our wishes for good luck go with her. HAROLD CRAVVFORD fl bright young bfllliL'If1l ic'in.ron1e -ways flviff frin some yet in FOIIZIHQ days. Bill certainly needs no introduction in Berea. He's an all- around athlete and makes good in every activity he under- takes. He has been a great asset to the orchestra and the Boy's Glee Club and will surely be missed next year. Bill is also President of the class and has performed the duties of this position very favorably. ALLEN CURTIS il youth Iiglvt hearted and rontent I zconder through the u'or1d. School is out, and everyone rushes down the steps. Then a lone figure comes down-the last one out-that's Allen. VVhenever a curtain puller or a stage manager is needed, Allen is right thereg whenever Crucible money is to be collect- ed or a play needs a business-manager Allen gets the job and why? It is because Allen accomplishes almost everything he goes after-that's all. FRANCES CUTTING fly merry as the day is long If you can find a better good all-round student, basketball player, debater, domestic science expert and just jolly good sport than Frances Anne we'd like to see her. Frances is graduating with more points than any other member of the senior class and still she's had time for other activities and stands among the highest in scholarship in the class. HUGH DEMOSS H!e.f.fings on thee, my little man iIufge DeMoss-sounds like a prize fighter doesn't it? But we assure you that he isn't. He's just that well liked boy with the black eyes and black hair and the smile on his face. If you want to meet someone in whose presence you just can't grumble,-meet Huge at once. Oh, we almost for- got another thing--Hugh always has his French. Maybe that's because his name is French. 5 :QI 1 gift? if i l , y ia X1 ,rf Q xnrxy, fr :LA 2 4 gg, rlelbit . ix f ,f I ,:fff'KfI3' - X I, GTK xx f 1 QL!-'X XY . xx f' I ,fd ikxx. , r get . ,affsvi , , f'ylsif,-i.

This is Theron Dixon, Algebra shark, French expert-No, I guess we're on the wrong track, that isn't Ther- on, but nevertheless we must say he is talented in many ways. Indeed we're proud of Theron and I guess we're justified in feeling that way about him too. IVIAJORIE ECKISRT Hnlrtists are 17077117701 made, so if llas llcrn said ,lml I haw mine to tlzizzl' all artists are not dead. Marjie is one, who hardlly needs an introduction. Need- less to say, she is our best scholar since she has won the right to present the Valedictory Address for our class. Marjorie, with her artistic ability should easily make a name for herself wherever she goes. HOVVARD FHRIZAR 'Ullost lzlamrlcss is lie, rcrztrrczl in the sfvllcrc of rom- nmzz f1IlIflI'.f.H Howard is probably the quietest, most gentlemanly mannered boy in the senior class. Although Howard is taking up stenography and although he has never said anything about it, we believe that he is interested in the law and things of that nature, because he always shows such interest in it in class. If so, here's luck to you, Howard. HELEN FARNSVVORTH l'lcr grare, all, zvlzo roula' paint She tvoulrl fafinate a saint I zlcrlarcf' Farney was one of the latest to gain entrance in our class. She came here in her Senior year from distant New York. Although Helen has only been with us this last year she readily made friends with everyone, who met and knew her. She has taken an active part in everything and she has surely been a valuable addition to our class. DOROTHY FFNIIXIORE Eyes not fast dozen, flI'0f72' nor ofvrr bright, But ful tcitlz thc rlear pointed flame of sinrfr 1ty. Do you know that little girl whose nickname is Dot ? Of course you do. Everyone knows Dorothy. She is always in school, always on time and always willing to help you out. She has spent all of her school days in our dear old Berea High . This year she played the piano for our chapel assemblies. LGUIS FITCH Today is ours for joy and nlirtlz, 1170 may be sad tozzzorroztf' VVho is that boy with the smile upon his face? VVhy have- n't you heard? That's Louis Fitch from Columbia. You surely have seen him in his Ford. He's some kid, we must say-especially when it comes to teasing the girls. We know that with his winning way he will succeed in the future. NORMA FRANK Full of deepest thought Doing the very things she ought, Slooping to af! good deedsf Norma is another of the Brook Park students, who helps to make up our class. She is a very quiet, good-natured, young lady, and, one who we are glad to number among our friends. She is a very conscientious worker and we are sure the future has much in store for her. GEORGE GAYDASH I tit in reverie and 1c'atrlz VVe have often seen wandering about the halls of old B. H. S. a fair-haired, blue-eyed boy-usually smiling. VVhen- ever a leading man was needed in any of our plays or oper- ettas, Gadie was nearly always the first one thought of, for he usually makes a hit . He is also to be recommended for his splendid work in football during his Senior year. EVELYN HOEFRIAN J life that mover to grnfious ends Evelyn is a quiet girl with a pleasant smile for everyone. She likes to use a typewriter and is ready when Miss Rice says speed test . She is always ready for a good time and willing to lend a hand when there is work to do. FRANCES JOHNSON Ojif1ositifnz is the Spire of fifen The last bell has rung-then Johnnie arrives, but better late than never for what would we do without her. VVe place utmost confidence in her to win an argument in any class for hasn't she been a winning debater for three years on our high school team. Johnnie is strong for literary work and has clever talent in this line. You certainly have read something of hers in the Crucible. . VVILLIAM KOLOKOSKE Hffe ir ll lllllll of fheerfu! ye.rterrlfzy,r and fonfizlenf to- morro1:'s. The Commercial department is where Bill Kolokoske shines, Haven't you ever seen him in the typewriting room the Hrst period typing away as if his very life depended upon it? At least part of the period, when he isn't busily passing the time of day with Evelyn Hoffman or Helen Beck. He's a Crucible typist and a good one too, because if you ever take your material to Bill, you know that it will be finished and finished pretty suddenly too. THELNIA KRAMER Ever level, ever true, To the zeorlf she has to do. There's one thing that you've got to hand it to Thelma for and that's her good humor and perseverance. Really I don't believe that any of us have seen Thelma when she wasn't ready to appreciate something humorous, and I don't believe that she was ever seen when she was angry or even a little bit peeved about anything.

It was perfectly natural that Kuhnie should acquire that honored position because, you see, writing poetry is her hobby. Sad verses, glad verses, and big verses and small verses, and love verses and a few miscellaneaus ones scattered through, they're all in the day's work for Kuhnie. FRANCES LEVHY She Nlllllff, mm' snlilrnv, and will not sigl U I Have you ever seen Frances taking a speed test in typing? XVell you'd better pretty soon then. Isn't she in earnest about it? I guess we're perfectly safe in saying that Frances' hobby is dancing. She veritably sighs for it and cries for it. Here's hoping you can keep right on dancing through life with few shadows or troubles to cross your path, Frances. OLETA MACHOVINA There is 110 truer llearfedf' Oleta is one of our sopranos in the Glee Club and she is always ready with a helping hand. VVe all like Oleta for her carefree ways and her sunny disposition will always win. She has a hne start in life, and we hope to hear of her success in the business world for she is one of our best typists. HENRY MAHLER Ile is Il fmrt of all that he lms lI1f'fH Do you know Heinie? You've missed something if you don't. He was our star basketball captain. Could he play? just ask anyone. Heinie is one of those quiet modest chaps and all who know him are his friends. He is on the cast of the Senior play and is known by all as a good student. The school will undoubtedly lose by his graduation. IWYRQN lNrICEWEN J lzrzrnzlzzrs fellow, rcasrirzg useless days is he. Ile lows his ronzforf and his leisure. Myron-Myron-we wonder who they can mean, and then suddenly it dawns upon us that they are speaking of Mutt. Mutt's greatest difficulty, all through his High School career, has been to get to school on time at least one morning every week, and sometimes he has actually done it. He is also one of our football stars. CLARENCE MOHR ... Tlze bell .rtrikes one, I fake no note of time. That happy-go-lucky chap, one of the best natured fellows of the Senior class is f'Coonie . As you may know Coonie does not love studying but he has grit enough to stick to it. If you want to know where Coonie shines, you should watch him pitch ball or play basketball. IRENE PARKER I hzezt' the right and did it VVho is the fair young miss in the Class of '23? VVell, she is Irene Parker. A member of the Glee Club and is always ready to lend a hand whenever she may happen to be called upon to do so. Fatty is her nickname and she is very much interested in shorthand and typewriting. VVILLIAM PETCH Prove to me zclmt it is I -would not do for others Bill , VVillie , Patch : To whom else do all these nick-names apply but to VVilliam Petch? He joined our class the beginning of our Junior year, and has been a valuable addition. He is one of the best natured members of our class, and whenever there's any fun on hand, you can count on him every time. ROLAND PETCHLER The fombined qualities of fl mon and an rzlllleteu At about 8:45 in the morning, the school bus drives up, stops in front of the school, and who jumps off but Roland- one of our best athletes. Roland's specialty is basketball and a fellow has to go some to do better work at guard than Roland does. YVe are bound to miss him when basketball season rolls around next year. FRANCIS PINARD lVlzal 511011111 Il man do but be lllFl'l'j'?H VVho is that fellow over there? Yes the one with the pretty wavy hair and-'l VVhy, that's Francis Pinard. Don't you know him? I'll introduce you right away. Francis comes from Brook Park. He is one of those optimistic, fun- loving individuals who is always ready for a good time. ELINOR RILEY I founl life just a bluff To try a soul's strength on. Have you heard Elinor's cheery Howdy ? If you haven't make it a point to do so, for it just gives you the right spirit with which to start the day. She has only been with us for two years, but during that time she has gained a host of friends. LYDIA ROEH M None knou' her but to low her, None name her but to praise. Did you ever know anyone to do so many things and be a success in them all, as Lydia does? She is the shining light of the Glee Club, Class Secretary, prize winning orator, and Editor of the f'Crucible . Lydia may be a little small to do so many things but she is just chuck-full of ability. CARLTON SEIDLER Little I asf, llly uvlntx are feud' Carlie is one of the fun lovers of the class. Did you ever know anyone who could sing as many funny songs or crack as many jokes? He is also a lover of VVadsw0rth and may often be found there. VVe wonder what the attrac- tion can be? As a shining light in football-basketball games Carlie is right there. H ELEN SH EPPARD Her nir, her manners, all who sau' admired Helen Sheppard is-well just Helen. She has a four year basketball record behind her which any normal girl might well have cause to envy. She started in as a regular player when only a Freshman, and I guess you can't beat that any place. Helen has a contagious laugh-and so if you have a bad case of the blues and don't want to lost them-we warn you-keep away from Helen. RALPH SMITH Hr is six foot of man. All rlenr grit 111111 IINIIIIIII I1 nf I1 re ' ' Perhaps you have seen a tall fellow on the basketball floor, or perhaps on the football field. That is Smitty and he is liable to be seen any place. Smitty has a hobby-auto- mobiles. lf he isn't driving an auto, he is repairing one. He is also interested in radio. Some day we may see his name in il list of inventors. H FLEX XVATSON Her niofltatt lllI3 ZL'f'I' mul yl'Il1't fl1l air, Sho-zt' her wise mul good, ax the is fair. The patter of feet on the stairs. A voice, Am l late ? That's Sweeny's voice and it is heard on the basketball Hoot' as well as in school. Although Helen has only been with us a year, she has found many friendships and her sunny smile and winning ways will be missed next year. lNlAR.lORlF VVILLIAINIS 'fill her free, llllf7l1l.l'l7ll' rlrting, lx .fo flmrnzing, so 1li.s'fr1u'ti11g. This little black-eyed curly-haired slip of a girl came to us just this year from Lakewood High. Have you ever passed Marjie in the hall when you weren't greeted with a cheery hello? Yes, she invariably remembers your name. Welve never know her to forget one once. Marjie likes Kissel Kars, and her hobbies are knitting sweaters and dancing. EDNA VVOOLDRIDGE Ho-zz' lllllfll lies in laughter lf you hear a merry laugh you'll know Edna is near. If anyone is feeling blue, just send them around to Edna and she'll cheer them up with one of her stories or songs. When anyone wants anything done they see Edna and she is there with a helping hand. She is active in athletics and in the Girls' Glee Club. T , , Editor-in-chief ........... Assistant Editor ....... Editorial Staff Lydia Roehm James Barclay Literary Editor ..,......... ........

I sit and wonder what it is, But I answer all the same, Saying, Goodbye sehooldays, goodbye all, VVe're out to lose or gain. Though all our paths at Berea High VVere not always strewn with l'lowers, Yet 'mid our sorrows, tears and cares, VVe've spent many happy hours. Yes, old Berea, we love your name, But not for that alone, VVe love the knowledge that you have, To each of us made known. And as we all will tread along, In our great highway of Life, VVe'll think of our days at Berea High For those tho'ts will lessen our strife. No matter what our tasks shall hc, And we're apt to turn away, VVe'll go right on, with a good will, To be better from day to day. Yet never will we in all our days, Forget you dear Red and Blue In all our thoughts and all our ways, VVe will ever he true to you. Now farewell teachers, we must part, Though we've learned to love you best VVe'll never regret the hours we spent Preparing ourselves for the test . For you have helped us right along, Over highways steep and rough, And tho' we've tried our very best, VVe have not done enough. Dear classmates, we must bid farewell, To each other, next of all, For we've stayed together to the time, VVhen we each heard I7uty's call. Then, we must not forget the friends, VVhom we speak to day by day, For they have helped us right along, VVhether in thought, in work or play. And lastly we must hid farewell, To the place we hold so dear, But memories of our high school days VVill be treasured from year to year. -Irfm' Kuhn, 23 'l'nE CRL'c1izLE 13 History ofthe Class of 1923 N the following lines lies the record of the class of nineteen hundred twenty- three. This class has been in school while our country has gone through a period of war, reconstruction and peace. This very fact could not help but register a sweeping effect even on our class life and our class outlook. It is evident that we, who have been in the public schools during such a national crisis have been given more things to think about and things to take into consideration in our everyday school life and in our preparation for the future than have the classes of a time of peace. As we look back over our school days, the great events of our national life, which happened in the past twelve years will each be associated with and recalled with events in our school life. The class always showed a spirit of loyalty to its Alma Mater and this increased as the years passed by. The class has a record that it can well be proud of. It has set a goal for other classes to reach. In giving a short sketch of the life of the class, in the grades we find that Laverne Brown. Martha Bradley, Allen Curtis, George Gaydash, XVilliam Kolokoske, Frances Levy, Henry Mah- ler, Helen Sheppard, Ralph Smith and Carlton Seidler were the ten members, who started out in the Berea Public Schools in nineteen hundred and eleven on the long and strenuous journey. These members have proved themselves to be some of the most prominent people of the class today. They are also in high rank, when it comes to popularity. In the second year of school only one member was added-Harold Blackburn. He was a well worth addition to the class as has been shown in his participation in different activities and organizations. The third year brought in four members-Frances Cutting, Harold Crawford, Marjorie Eckert and Oleta Machovina. Among these were musicians, athletes, a valedictorian, in fact a group, which had ability in many lines. The fourth year did not have any one to add to our small list but the fifth, sixth, seventh and eighth grades each gave us one member. james Barclay, who is known as the radio shark, came in the sixth, Milton Barber, who is skilled as a baseball pitcher, came in the seventhg and Eve- lyn Hoffman, who is noted for her pleasing personality, started with us in the eighth. In the freshman year of high school, which is known as the one in which many new mem- bers are added, this class lived up to this tra- dition very well. Athletes, debaters, actors, and orators were added to the class. The newcomers were Iva Ashman, Helen Beck, Julius Bergman, Theron Dixon, Hugh DeMoss, Howard Ehrbar, Norma Frank, Louis Fitch, Frances Johnson, Thelma Kramer, Irene Kuhn, Irene Parker, Francis Pinard, Roland Petschler, and Edna VVooldridge numbering seventeen in all. The class was without a doubt one of the biggest and busiest classes that ever entered high school. These so-called freshmen seemed to be every where, but as the year rolled around it appeared that they were not very green. That year several of the girls were regular players on the basket- ball team. Some of the boys also displayed their skill when it came to athletics. The next year when the class entered Senior High Schol they were no longer looked down upon. VVe added as many members to the foot- ball, basketball, baseball, and debating teams as any of the classes did. This was the year that Lydia Roehm entered the class. She is the one, who has so successfully held the position of Editor of the Crucible the past year and won fame for the high school in oratory. In the eleventh year or the Junior year of high school Dorothy Fenimore, VVilliam Petch, and Elinor Riley were added to the enrollment of the class. VVho hasn't heard Elinor or Dorothy playing a piano or when was the time that VVilliam Petch wasn't experimenting in Chemistry or Physics laboratory? That is how these people gained their fame. In the last year of school which no doubt always is the most eventful of all, Helen Farns- worth came to us from New York, Marjorie VVilliams and Helen VVatson from Lakewood and last but not least Clarence Mohr from oui' own home town. These members need no men- tion as to the fame they have gained. Anyone will tell you that they are four of the best mem- bers of the class. Class additions then came to a close, making a total of forty-two of the most energetic people that ever formed a class. For the past two years the class won the annual football, basketball games which are be- tween the juniors and seniors. They retired undefeated. Lydia Roehm, who won first prize in the Cuyahoga County Oratorical Contest, as you have observed is a member of the class. CContinued on Page 235 14 THE CRL'c11z1.E T l 11 IW fllg ' x f I VW!

These clubs proved very satisfactory and we hope they will be as successful next year as they were this. The members of the Ohio Club feel their knowledge of Ohio has been increased in the study of the first men, cities, schools and many other interesting subjects. The Reading Club held interesting programs consisting of plays, poems, stories and material on how newspapers are printed and how to read a newspaper. These programs were enjoyed by all. The Dramatic Club in this the second year of its history has prospered to a great extent. Plays, readings, and resumes of plays were their principal subjects. Vile hope to see some of the members enter the dramatic world. Now be quiet. I have station XYZ. That's the Radio Club listening in at their meetings. No, they have more than radio concerts. Diller- ent parts of the radio are explained and also interesting talks on the value of radio to the world. No girls became interested in this club. VVe feel sure the Natural Science members will be able to tell the names of almost any animal if they should meet one. Their work has included the study of animals, birds, trees, and flowers. They all have enjoyed their work immensely. The good work of the Debating team is due to some degree to the knowledge they obtained in the Debating Club. They held interesting programs consisting of mock trials, speeches, and the lives of noted debaters. All the members feel this club has been a benefit to them and the school.

VVe are sorry to lose our Coach but are hoping to have another successful year next year.

Hi-Y News During the year the Hi-Y club, a new club just formed last fall by the Y .M. C. A. of the college has started out very well for a new club of this kind. The club has put on feeds for the fellows and also for the girls. They have had some fine meetings and hope to have a real live club next year now that they have had a year's experience. 'Til-Ili CR1'c11a1.E 15 :- ,rd Orato ry LYDIA ROEHM, Orator Berea High was very much honored this year when Miss Lydia Roehm won first place in the Cuyahoga County Oratorical Contest. Three years ago and two years ago we won third place, but last year Lydia won second for us. And finally, this year after careful preparation, and with her splendid ability and pleasing per- sonality, she reached the pinnacle of success by attaining first place. Every member of Berea High School is justly proud of our representative and of the record she has made for their high school. ORCHESTRA Standing-Jamcs Barclay, Edward Hausser, Harold Crawford, Clyde Barchard. Sitting-Harold Blackburn, Douglass Stroud, Miss Fish CDirectorj, Elizabeth Gilchrist fPianistJ, Wesley Roehm, Myron Mayles. VVithout an orchestra, what would Berea High do? This organization is of great importance in our school. The orchestra was a guest at the Reserve Tournament and have had other occasions to prove their ability. Although only two girls in the orchestra, they were able to do their part with the music selections. 16 Tier CRVCIBLE JOHN SOVTHARD, Captain John proved his ability as a debater by attain- ing the honor of captaincy in his second year. In thinking through arguments and finding in- roads into the points of an opponent, John is certainly a wonder. And when john dtbates- he debates-nothing else matters, and his ser- iousness in this matter has been of great heneht. John still has another year before him, and we hope he will continue to prove his ability along this line. VVESLEY ROEHM You've all heard NVesley yell at basketball games where he acted as cheerleader,-but have you heard him TALK in a debate? VVesley, the smallest member of the two teams startled oppon- ents and audience alike when he started his argument. VVould one think that a boy so small could have such a voice, and such a convincing manner and argument. Here's to future success, VVesley. FRANCES CCTTING VVhat a pity that Frances, as a debater, was not known until her senior year. Frances lays her cards on the table, faces her opponents squarely and-debates. She just loves to argue. For proof of this just ask any of her teachers. But besides this, her ability to laugh and cheer up her colleagues, when they were unusually blue-over anything in general-certainly was a valuable asset to this year's teams. FRANCES JOHNSON, Captain Some college is going to gain a good debater and Berea High will lose a good one, for this was Frances' last year in High School and she has been a splendid debater for three years. This last year she was made captain of her team and did credit to her position. As this was her third year she received a gold medal. By means of a large vocabulary and quick and keen think- ing she could present influential arguments with ease. LAVVRENCE DANIELS VVe ask you to show us any debater in the whole county who was any more familiar with the subject of discussion than Lawrence. Law- rence fairly eats details and technicalities in a case-it is said that he knew the whole League of Nations Covenant hy heart,--and if this con- tinues, we can foresee a future for Lawrence as a constitutional lawyer. MIRIAM HOCH That little girl with the dark eyes and the demure look-you would hardly believe her to be a hery debater would you? But believe it or not, Miriam was one of the most convincing arguers on the teams this year. She wasn't always serious-but when it was imperative that she be serious, she was, and that, of course was all that was necessary. Miriam still has two years in which to debate--and if she continues the way she has started they ought to be fortu- nate years for the teams that she will be on.

Q, 3 LA-gg . , Paul Revere NE of the most successful events of the school year, and one which brought a fine reputation to Berea High School was the Annual Operetta held Friday afternoon and Friday evening of April 27. The presentation of this operetta Paul Revere , was given in a most pleasing manner. George Gaydash as Paul Revere, pleased his audience with his voice and his dramatic ability. His interpretation of his part was fine and all think George has a future before him. Lydia Roehm as the pretty but stubborn Molly Faxton made a charming colonial maid. All her personality and ability were displayed in her clever portrayal of this character. Parts taken by Elinor Riley and Benedict Vilashtock were also well interpreted, and their little love affair delighted the audience. Ellsworth Fox, as old Mr. Faxton, took the part remarkably well. VVe are glad that he will still be here next year to again participate in the Glee Club. Oleta Machovina, Dorothy Fenimore and Francis Pinard .deserve much credit. Dorothy and Francis constantly kept the audience in a jovial mood by their negro dialect. Oleta, as the younger Faxton daughter took the part very well. Frances Cutting, before the raising of the curtain recited the poem The Midnight Ride of Paul Revere , in order to bring to the audience more vividly the story of t'Paul Revere . She presented it in a most creditable manner. Great credit is due Miss Fish, our director, whose tireless efforts made it possible to present our operetta, to Esther Pillars, pianist, to the orchestra and the chorus. Vile all hope that another operetta will be presented next year. CLASS HISTORY-Continued from Page 13 She has represented Berea High School for two successive years. The captains for the football team, basketball team, baseball team, and de- bating teams for the present year came from the class of nineteen hundred twenty-three. The class was always noted for its fine support at the games and there were always at least some people from the class who followed the team as rooters and boosters for Berea High when the team went on a trip. In the spring of 1923 most of the members bought class sweaters which was never done before. This innovation proved to be very successful and no doubt this class started something that the classes to come will follow. The last activities of the class were their pre- parations for graduation and the accompanying affairs that go with that event. There is pro- bably no time in which a class is as busy as when they are preparing for that occasion. There were the junior-Senior Banquet, the Baccalaureate Sermon, Senior Play, Class Day Exercises and Commencement itself. These events mark the close of a journey, that never has been equalled by any other class nor ever will be forgotten by any of the fellow classmates. -Carlion Sfidlrr. 7-L THE CRL'c1P,LE Araugrics Football HE 1922 football season, from the County league standpoint, was very successful. The team annexed the County Champion- ship and inproved greatly through out the season. The best brand of football was displayed in the Chagrin game. Baseball--l 923 The Baseball team has made an enviable re- cord the last two years and surely has put Berea on the map Athletieally speaking. Although not winning many games this year it will be noticed that the team has played ex- ceptionally good teams such as Shaw, Lakewood, Shaker Heights, Cathedral Latin and others. NVith Captain Mohr, Pinard, and Barber the only three letter men graduating this year tht nine should have a successful season next year. Basketball l922--23 The basketball season was particularly suc- cessful. The team won the Northeastern Uhio Class B championship at XVestern Reserve l'ni- versity. The Cuyahoga County Tournament Championship at Baldwin-XVallace was another achievement. ln the season's schedule, the team won, in addition to these triumphs, ten out of six- teen games. Among our opponents were such schools as Akron VVest, Canton lVIcKinley, NVads- worth, South Euclid, Shaker Heights, Cleveland VVest, etc. CAPTAIN MAHLER, Forward Senior Heinie serving as pilot of the team for the second year had a very good season and led the team in scoring. He was particularly good in the Vlladsworth and South Euclid games. CRAVVFORD, Forward Senior Bill-also playing his second year in the var- sity, was dependable the whole season and could always be counted on for a point via the foul !'0L1tC. PETCHLER, Guard Senior llllelfl' WHS fl m6'Hl1 guard when sufficiently aroused and tho't nothing of holding his man scoreless. VVith -loe he made a fine working guard and floor man. SCHVVANDT, Guard Junior Cheesy had to play three or four hours before the game so that he would be slowed down enough to play with the rest of the team. XVith his speed he made a wonderful guard in a large floor. Fred will be the Captain of the team of 1923-24. DELCURSO, Guard Junior joe again was the big little man. Playing at guard, he was one of the flashes of the season. lle held them all down big or small and his floor work and shooting ability won many a game. lIere's to a good season for .loe next year. PRIVER, Guard Junior Ted-carrying his football ability to the bas- ketball tloor, won a letter and put up some nice games both at guard and center. Ted is another who will be back next year. BERGER, Center Sophomore Bernie-one of the midget Sophs who has made two letters this year. Fast and rangy and a natural basketball player. Bernie made many a large center look sick. VVith two more years he should make them all sit up and take notice. The squad did excellent work and the second team is to be congratulated for the fine work in helping develop the varsity. Next year's pros- pects are good with four letter men back and plenty of good material from the second team. Girls Basketball The girls' basketball season of 1922-23 on the whole was very successful. Although they did not win all the games the girls were good sports all the time.

HE junior High exhibits at the annual exhibition this year were fine. The rooms were decorated very attractively with class and individual work. Several group- printed papers or magazines for their English work. The Latin class had some very original ideas worked out in drawings, posters, and Roman bridges constructed by the boys. The Domestic Art room was filled with beautifully made garments, and samples of darning patch- ing. The Domestic Science classes prepared some dainty displays and a group of the Fresh- man girls served delicious refreshments. The boys had a fine collection of handcraft in wood- work, lamps, pedistals, desks, and ferneries com- posed some of the exhibits. This year's exhi- bition showed over six hundred parents that work that is being done in school. The athletic efficiency test for standard badges was conducted as usual this year. The follow- ing boys were successful. In class A, George Fulton, Lee Ives, james Keller, Howard Pin- combe, Roger Robinson, and Clarence VVing. In class B, Harold VVilliams, and James Zander. Robert Lechner and Robert Steck in Class C and Otis DeMoss, Class D. The best man from each class chosen to represent Berea at the track meet here on May 19th were, Roger Robinson, Harold VVilliams, Robert Lechner, and Otis DeMoss respectively. Last year Robert Lechner brought honor to Junior High when he won the trophy for Class B. This was the first trophy a member of junior High has ever placed in the trophy case. 28 THE CRFCIBLE Athletic Review FOOTBALL 1922 B. H.

CAPTAIN BROVVN, '23, Forward Laverne is one of our old stand-bys. Although last year she had unusual luck in shooting, this year her floorwork was depended on. She was here, there and everywhere-wherever and whenever she was most needed. Laverne's ab- sence will leave a big gap in the team. CVTTING, '23, Forward Frances is the best all around player on the team. More than once has kept her opponents ability to score was as defense. A great many but she always Came up more. her timely interference from scoring, and her great as her ability at knocks came her way, smiling-and ready for COOK, '24, Guard Mae is the smallest member of the team, but she surely could play basketball. Although she played guard most of the season, she has con- siderable ability at locating the basket-especially from the third line. This was her first year as a regular on the team, and she has another year ahead. Mae is to be captain next year. REICHO, '24, Guard Violet, also playing her first year as a regu- lar fully established her right to her position. Although she may have appeared somewhat small to her opponents she soon demonstrated that her ability on defense was by no means small. Violet also has another year on the team ahead of her. SHEPPARD, '23, Center Helen is always right there when it comes to basketball. She is one of our dependable players and her absence was greatly felt, when out part of the season because of injuries. It was very seldom that her opponents got by with anything.

The staff was composed of members of the SA class. There were but two numbers pub- lishedg one in February and the other in April. The former number was sold at the Carnival, and was a great success. Other things that will be remembered are the hikes, picnics and parties participated in by dilferent groups as they went to the various places about Berea.

Berea, Ohio Prosperous Year At The Oberlin Business College The Oberlin Business College is passing through another prosperous year, the attendance being even larger than last year. This school has now come to occupy a great place in train- ing young men and women for business and office positions and for teaching commercial branches in high schools and business colleges. It now has the highest standing given to any business college in Ohio, by the State School Department at Columbus. It was the first busi- ness college to be placed upon the Accredited List of Ohio colleges, in 1915, by which author- ity it ofters a 2-year commercial teachers' course which leads to the State Certificate. It is said to have more graduates holding State Certific- ates than all other similar schools combined. The Oberlin Business College is the school for high school graduates for it urges all young people to complete the full high school course before entering a business college and as a result it has an older and better educated class of students than any other school of the kind. This accounts for the great reputation which this school has gained. Any of your present seniors who think of entering a business college would do well to consider this school.-.f7d'v.
