No. just the starting placel Twenty-eight shy, blushing, awkward freshmen were placed under the care of C. E. Doust. Mrs. E. L. Hine, Miss Alspach. Miss Colville and Mr. Wiley. We walked on tip-toes to and from classes: we never giggled or talked with the upper classmen for fear of being rebuked or jeered at. We chose as our president Eleanor Gunn. At a Hallowe'en party given by the seniors, we were initiated and from that date on we have been full-fledged B. H. H. S. students. In our second year Twyla Hartley was our president. The following new teach- ers were welcomed to our school: Mr. L. S. Hadley. Miss Ebert. and Mr. R. Hack- ney. Mr. Hackney, our class sponsor. joined us in all our activities, especially that one coasting party on Winton's Hill. A junior class of eleven! Four of our girls found marriage more pleasant than school and some having failed to find any joy in school life, had sought work elsewhere. Bertha Hast was elected as our presi- dent. During this year we selected our class rings and a pennant of purple and lavender. Several of our members held positions on the Student Council and Erie Echo staff. We gave the play Aaron Slick from Pum'kin Creek. The Lake- view Hotel was the scene of the annual Junior-Senior reception. Seniors at last! A class of eight! Thomas. our only boy. was hailed as president. We were sorry that Karl Web- ber could not. due to sickness, keep up with us, One new teacher.

They have worked together through four years of strife, Making the best of every-day life. They have shared thir joys and sorrows, too, Doing their best for themselves and you. Thomas, who ranks as a basketball star, Keeps his studies up to par. The girls' choice, with his consent Made him the seniors' class president. A joyous girl is Eleanor Gunn: She keeps her boy friends on the run. She studies nearly all th night To make her French come out just right. The studious one of all this eight Is Twyla, our dear, blond classmateg She is industrious, active and bright: Everyone likes her at first sight. The tallest girl is Marge by name, As a basketball captain she won her fame. The highest ambition she has in store Is to be the world's greatest aviator. The next is Bertha, a tiny lass: She is the funniest of the class. She's very romantic, loving and kind, A smile on her face you will always find. An intended nurse is Ruby Shoop: To no man she will ever stoop. Her talents she always tries to hide, Shunning what people oft' call pride. Margaret, a demure little lass is she: Loyal and shy she will always be. Her friends are many, enemies few: You love her and she'll love you. fContinued on Page 43.j W I UL Know all men by these presents that we the class of 1928 on this Hfteenth day of May in the year of King Hammurabi, be- ing in possession of sound mind but ap- prehensive of severing all connections, spiritual and temporal, from the Berlin Township High School. without coercion or undue infiuence, bequeath all our per- sonal and worldly property as follows: I, Thomas Cucuro. bequeath my desire to go to Youngstown to any boy in high school providing he can find the attraction there that I have.

After all. it isn't so bad to lose when one knows good sportsmanship, although it is sometimes almost overbearing. Both teams were complimented on their clean play and hard efforts. The girls' squad suffered more defeats than the boys, losing nine of the ten games. but they kept up their spirit to the last, They are very unfortunate in losing three of their regular players, through graduation. Marjorie Robertson. Basketball who won a wide reputation as a forward. has been on the team throughout her high school course, being crowned captain in her senior year. Nancy Good, another forward, has been with the squad for two years and Twyla Hartley, guard, for just one. Although the team will be weakened by the absence of these girls. there is plenty of excellent material in the high school. which, with careful train- ing. can bring out an A-1 team. The boys started the season pretty well, but their captain, Floyd Page, was taken ill and forced to give up basketball. lt is hoped that his health will permit him to return to the team next season. Thomas Cucuro will be the only boy to be taken by graduation. As guard, he was a mighty fine player and one capable to take his place will be hard to find. They say 'practice makes perfect, so our boys are looking forward to a bright and perfect season next fall. Much credit is due the coaches, Mr. Hadley and Miss l.ersch. for their patience and encouragement. Under their instruc- tion. the old and new material of the high school combined into teams may win the basketball tournament of 1929. Who knows?

The Class Prophecy of 1928 One fine day in l978 while sitting near the fireplace I was aroused from my slum- bers by a loud tapping on the door. Still deep among my thoughts of old school days I did not fully awaken until I was aware of the presence of a person. Start- led I looked up and beheld a young man dressed in purple tweeds. He smiled and said, Come! I am the good Morpheus' ' Involuntarily I arose and followed him from the room. When we reached the street he bade me put on a pair of roller skates which he offered me and we sped merrily along without any trouble what- soever. We slipped unnoticed past a number of fierce monsters that guarded several dif- ferent thresholds. Suddenly we beheld the river Styx at our feet and the aged Charon Cferryman at the Styx riverl vainly endeavoring to put the boat off a shoal on which it was stuck fast. Look his burden proveth too heavy quoth the good Morpheus. The music proveth too great a load. 5 I nearly rolled into the river with sur- prise on seeing Mr. Wickline, a former high school teacher of mine. As you know. continued Morpheus, 'he was the music instructor. He died of a broken blood vessel one hot summer day from trying in vain to reach upper 'Do' while taking a vocal lesson. After a while Charon took us over. We landed and immediately recognized many familiar faces. We started walking around and I rec- ognized Minnie Glime. I afterwards learned that when she finished high school she had taken up misisonary work and while living in the Samoan Islands was devoured by her cook when supplies failed to arrive from the mainland. Progressing a little farther I was start- led by the appearance of Nelda Kropf who had been an upper classmate of mine. She had been killed while traveling with her children through the wilds of the West and she died a tragic death at the hands of a couple of thugs because she failed to remember as far back as the death of her third husband The next familiar face was that of Clifford Clary. I was informed by the good Morpheus that Mr. Clary had been. while on earth, a bacteriologist and one night. having succeeded in his work, he planned a little celebration. Going into the laboratory he seized a long-necked bottle and drank fthe entire contents. But alas! It was not alcohol as he imag- ined, but chloroform. Professor Clary was not long in arriving at the Styx river. We hurried on just in time to catch sight of Genevieve Reising entering the threshold of her abode. Miss Reising -after leaving school met and later courted and won the fat man in the Campbell Circus. She was very fond of the ele- phants and spent a great deal of her time feeding them peanuts, until at last one day when she was feeding a very large ele- phant, evidently taking her for a peanut because of her delicacy, easily swallowed her. Louise Summers was the next person whom I recognized. Louise had run away with a Western cowboy, while at college. and they had joined a Western Rodeo. During a performance while riding a bronco, the bronco stopped. but Louise didn't and hitting her head on a stone soon landed in these infernal regions. Soon I discovered Jack Boss. sitting on the bank fishing. Mr. Boss had won a couple of millions at gambling, married the first girl he met. and gone to New York and set up a soap factory in the slums for the sake of charity. He was there only a short time when he died of a complication of diseases caused from soap from his own factory. Near by I saw Erma Bauman. Inquir- ing from Morpheus I learned that she had become a stenographer, fallen in love with her employer and learning that another girl loved him also. Erma fbeing a gener- ous soull took poison. Thus she ended her career as a business woman. Seated on a stump near the entrance I distinguished Martha Heyman but not without difficulty for the atmosphere of these infernal regions had caused her QContinued on Page l0.l Senior Class Will We the Senior Class of Florence Rural High School, being in sane mind. of sound body and buoyant spirits. are about to make departure from the hall of fame located here in Birmingham. And we hereby afix our dignified signatures to our declared last will and testament. Clifford Clary bequeaths his ability as a bluffer to his successor Charles Burrows. His mania for using his getting the goat system to Kenneth Welch. He desires to bequeath his rosy cheeks to the Tobins Drug Company. Erma Bauman leaves her facility for making A's to her most capable under- study. Lincoln Wasem. Her earnest de- sire is that her sweet innocence be left to Leonard Kropf. This has been granted with the condition that he make good use of it. If not, it shall be passed on to Junior Heyman. Genevieve Reising can see no other way of losing her pet freckles so she very re- gretfully leaves them to Eleanor Schafer to have and to cherish for her very own. Her charming smile she leaves to Arnold Palmer. With great regrets Paul Knott parts with his cherished nickname of Lardy. He leaves it to Eber Vincent and hopes that he will in time become worthy of it. His ability as a potato peelet he leaves to Mildred Gegenheimet. Louise Summers bewails the fact that she must leave her ability as a star for- ward to her sister Doris. Her nonchal- ance while receiving championship cups she bequeaths to Alliene MacNeill. Jack Boss passes on his charming ways and oratorical instincts to Lewis Sebolt. He hereby bequeaths eight suits to Fred Kubishke on the condition that the afore mentioned legatee keep them always spic and span. His A's and A's he leaves to Leonard Kropf. Sylvia Frankenberg does leave her secret for reducing to Miss Katherine Early whom she hopes will give it proper care. No objection will be raised to Katherine using a quantity if in her highly esteemed judgment she deems it necessary, Nelda Kropf at our request leaves her kiddish pranks to her friend Cleo Dickel. She leaves one teaketle full of steam to the General High School Fund. fContinued on Page 10.1 THE ERIE E Senior Class CLIFFORD CLARY I,ife is a jest, and all things show it: I thought so once and now I know it.

I0 THE ERIE ECHO THE CLASS PROPHECY OF 1928 CContinued from Page 6.1 curls to uncurl. Martha had died a rather dramatic life. After leaving school she had met the Prince of Wales while travel- ing abroad. It was love from the start and on a cloudless night a few weeks be- fore the wedding while joyriding on his private schooner, the wind proved too strong for the fragile Martha and she end- ed her romantic life by falling overboard into the deep, blue sea and started for the Styx without hesitancy. Our journey was drawing to a close when I noticed two other classmates of Birmingham. The first of these was Paul Knott who had shown his ability as a business manager by establishing a factory in India near a doughnut fac- tory and here he took the holes from the doughnuts and used them in stuffing maca- roni. This did not prove sufficient to support his wife and children so he took up blind begging. He walked the streets of India continuously and was making money rapidly when one day a policeman stuck a gun in his face. He quickly opened his eyes thus losing his position as well as a few months sleep for he was forced to spend a few nights in the peni- tentiary. On his way home, to the great grief of his family, he forgot that he wasn't blind and shut his eyes and stepped in front of a machine. Now he wanders these dense woods awaiting the arrival of his wife. The other was Sylvia Frankenberg who had in the upper world been an aviatrix and once when making a flight to the arctic, the plane ran out of gas and she froze to death. She had her choice of either life and chose Hades, taking no chances of cold weather. Here my wanderings were cut short and I was conscious of Polly, my parrot, calling loudly for a cracker. SENIOR CLASS WILL fContinued from Page 6.1 Martha Heyman bequeaths her Gosh and Gee to her good friend Ruth Sikes. Her charming presence on the dance floor she leaves to Katherine Early. Martha also wishes to leave her ability as a basket- ball center to Helen Lees to have and cherish and pass on to the coming star athletes. Minnie Glime it appears is about to lose her famous giggle because she is leaving it to her friend and schoolmate Helen Lees and if she does not care for the aforesaid giggle the first one who picks it up may have it to keep and to guard for life. The much admired dimples which adorn her either cheek she passes on to Lincoln Wasem. SENIOR CLASS HISTORY 'Twas in the year of '23 That we set sail in our wooden craft In search of knowledge new. Although we brought the laugh As most all Freshmen do. We never once did shirk For we had a captain and a crew That couldn't be beat for work. Bus was the captain. that you will remember. And Erma was first mate. Paul also was an honored member The chief's assistant was his fate. How could we ever fail With them to boss the crew? The task was now to sail And make the rough spots few. So when ended our first green year With higher hopes to gain. With nothing else to fear We found it not in vain. The next year we're sad to say We found our number few For several members went their way But why, we never knew. To disappoint our captain We knew we couldn't do So we proudly put to sea again With fifteen in our crew. So thus another year was ended With a new one to begin. And every one his bit he did To help the crew to win. The third year found us fewer still With harder games to fight. And stronger yet our will To make our skies all bright. Louise was now made captain A good one too she made For our battles she could win. Martha was her first aid And just as fine was she. Then closed for us another year And better could never be. Now we're all Seniors bold We make our word the rule Our places we are bound to hold And are the envy of the school. Buster. our captain, again made we To guide us safely to our goal sublime. And Erma. I'm sure you'lI all agree As his assistant did right fine. Of Nelda, too, we're proud of course Our funds she used with utmost care. With her We complete our office force. And so the mighty gale we've had to And many storms at sea to meet. But as long as we all stick together We'll sure be hard to beat. We set about to begin again A-lthough in numbers we are few. With the three that are honored men And the seven that are in the crew. weather THE ERIE ECHO Il .1 2 . -Y.-GW-,-..w ., .-,m....,..,,mg. y .,..,, PM F VM 'x f.

I4 THE ERIE ECHO Class Flower: Red Tea Rose. I was seated one summer day. in the year of 1938, by the banks of a little country stream. idly throwing pebbles into the clear blue water, when suddenly. directly in front of me a tiny creature clad in bright green made his appearance. Tripping lightly to my side, he winked knowingly, and stretching himself on tip- toe he whispered in my ear. I've got quite a bit of inside dope on the activities of your old classmates who graduated in 1928. Care to know anything about them? I was all interest at once, and immedi- ately responded that I would go anywhere or do anything to see what had become of my High School chums. The tiny fay nodded, well satisfied, and beckoning me to follow. he slid into the clear water. I hesitated only a moment, and then shut- ting both my eyes I did likewise. It seemed an eternity before I recalled any other sensations for the next thing I re- member I was emerging from the water, and discovering myself standing beside my small guide in a meadow green with the gifts of spring. No word was spoken between us, but I obediently followed him to the door of a low grey structure. He rang the bell and then disappeared. My heart rose to my mouth and stayed there, for I had no idea where I was or who would greet me. The door swung open and cut short my reflections. I raised my eyes and saw a trim. young woman, neatly dressed in a nurse's uniform. I looked a second time and with a start of pleasure recognized Merle Mason. She led me to a quiet little room where we had a splen- did visit. It seems that although Merle is happily married, she is still running a small hospital for poor children: she also said that her husband comes out for week- ends, as he gets so tired of the hustle and bustle of the city. While we were talking a slim, very stunningly dressed young wom- an put in her appearance. After two or three good looks I discovered that she was no stranger but another former classmate, Helen Burke. She informed me that she stays with Merle the year around doing nothing more arduous than playing tennis and swimming. Merle added that Helen was a nurse in another guise. She reads to the children, dresses up for them and plays 'Lady Bountiful' in general. . I was loath to leave the pleasant room Class of 1928 Class Motto: Deeds not Dreams. PROPHECY and my newly discovered friends, but I heard a gentle tap at the window and knew that I must go. The fay and I continued our journey in silence for perhaps ten miles, when we halted suddenly before a little brown cot- tage nestled in a curve of the river. Two tanned young men. dressed in khaki breeches and shirts were sunning them- selves on the doorstep. In spite of their prosperous air, I recognized Donald Thay- er and Vaughn Miller. I had a nice little chat with them. They informed me that they had made quite a substantial fortune in the oil business. and after their years of hard work they were enjoying themselves as much as possible. When I politely inquired how long they intended to batch it they both looked rather sheep- ish and exchanged quick glances and re- plied rather vaguely that they didn't know. However they did know a few other things, which I was interested to hear about. On their last trip to New York they had gone to a new and very popular tea room and had discovered the proprie- tresses to be Cleota Schnell and Mabel Lockwood. They said that the girls were doing exceedingly well. Using their slang they also informed me that they had run into good old Walt Wilcox one day. specializing in Agriculture. with the idea of becoming a teacher. Having exhausted their information we journeyed on. and after a short time ar- rived at a beautiful little city. My guide conducted me directly to a new and im- posing High School building. Not know- ing who I was supposed to meet there I wandered around until I heard a familiar voice declare: Really, Amy. that does look like Bill Bartow. I turned around and discovered Amy Sayles and Mary Nickels, staring at me in astonishment. After our greetings were over they told me that they had both been teaching for the past three years and were enjoying it very much. They were also able to add to my store of knowledge. They told me that Ellsworth Metzler had become one of the leading lawyers in the State and that there was talk of his being placed on the Supreme Court bench that coming year. Luck was with us. for in a quiet, shady street of this same city we discov- Class Colors: Scarlet and White. ered three more of my old classmates. It was just getting dusk when my guide left me on the front door-step of a pretty little bungalow. Several small children romped on the porch. and three young women sat quietly talking. I was sur- prised and happy to renew my acquaint- ance with Lucile Filkins. Elizabeth Myers and Blanche Lafene. I told them on what sort of a quest I was and that I still had live members of the Class of '28 to visit. After I had named these live, the three girls exchanged amused glances. and informed me that if I would spend the evening with them, they were pretty sure that they could help me out of my diffi- culty. Not seeing my small companion around anywhere. I accepted the invita- tion. I discovered that we were all con- gregated at Lucile's house. What a sup- per! Those girls certainly could cook, and although I was somewhat embarrassed when the heads of the various house- holds put in their appearance, I soon re- covered an dprepared to enjoy the evening. About 7:00 the door-bell rang and two young men entered. Although they had changed quite a bit, I could still recog- nize Johnny Seiling's smile and Red Ohle- macher's hair. After a few minutes con- versation with them I learned that they were both athletic directors. one at the High School, the other at the Y.M.C.A. Half an hour later two more young men arrived. John Weilnau, however. had a young lady with him. and due to the ring on her left hand. and the happy smile on John's face my suspicions were aroused. Carl Hissong accompanied them. and he proudly informd me that he was fast becoming a first class druggist, as yet he had not a single death to his credit. When the late arrivals had seated them- selves. Lucile turned on the radio. A woman's voice came into the room, a sweet clear voice. and with a smile Lucille said. We have Mary Williams to thank for this, and her statement was verihed a few minutes later by the announcer. Just at the height of the evening's fun I heard the familiar tap. and knew that I must leave. I did so with many regrets and promises of future meetings. The home journey was merely a repe- tition of the former one. and when l finally emerged to the bank of the quiet stream, I was glad to be alone. ancl to live again in memory the happy hours spent with my old classmates.

A little rough at times. the way And smiles are turned to frowns, But years roll on. and I find The chariot is nearing its round. At last we are to climb a height. A steep and rugged path. A few have fallen, and some have joinec To journey on at last. The four years journey from the valley I-las brought us to the top, And now we stand at an open gate To pass and never stop. At last the chariot is returning home And friends are drifting by. Some with a laugh or cheery call And others with a sigh. The horses reins are thrown aside Like a parent's tender hand. And they are left to roam the earth ln weak or sturdy bands. Oh thanks to parents' kindly though And teachers good and true And may the day of progress come And hold a steady hue.

Cook Coach Oliver Wiedenheft Captain ffw. IW 'fs of-rc K The boys' basketball season has been the most successful in the history of Margaretta High School. Our team was one of the ten best teams in the state. although we lost to the state champions. The team has had the able coaching of C. R. Cook to help it gain such high honor. He is to be complimented on his line work. The outstanding trait of this year's team has been clean playing. L1The dauntless spirit with which our team has gone through the season is one of the main reasons for its success. The season has been a very strenuous one with respect to the number of games played. We have played twenty-four games. Of these, four were defeats. This is an excellent record considering the high class teams that were played in the tournament. Perhaps the most spectacular playing was in the sectional tournament at Norwalk, when Margaretta won four games in two days. outscoring their opponents 84 to 6l. The season started out with three letter men, and the rest of the team was built up from green material. Five letter men are graduating. and two are Juniors, The players in the picture at lower right are as follows: Bottom row. from left to right- Mix, left forward: Kuns, right forward: XViedenheft. captain and right guard: Ontal, center: J. Neill. left guard: top row7Coach Cook: Mischler. forward: Prout, guard: Truman, center: Hoffman. guard: and R, Neill, athletic manager. The track team is also coached by Mr. Cook this year. ln the season of 1927 it was under the guidance of Mr. Bowman and won the only meet it participated in outside of the county meet. Margaretta placed second in the county meet at Milan. The letter men of Last year were: Keller. l.. Kuns, R. Neill, Harknezzrz. Alspaugh, XVinterstellar, Ontal. Mischler and J. Miller. All those except Keller and Winter- stellar are out for track again this year and together with some new material track prospects are very bright for the 1928 season. ln addition to basketball and track Margaretta students have played playground ball and speedhall at noontime. ln the playground ball league the Seniors were champs and in speedball the Juniors, Sophomores and Seniors were tied for first, Physical education classes have been conducted the second semester this year.

Z8 THE ERIE ECHO The girls' basketball team has made considerable progress this year ttnder the careful coaching of Miss Scott, She has worked with the team for two years now and feels repaid for her efforts after the sttccess of the team during the entire season. The team has profited by the entrance of Mabel Rttdy, Marian Beebe. l.eota Moyer and Rosa Nell Debo from Townsend high school who occupied positions on the team. They have lost but five games out of the sixteen which were played and those were by a close score. They claim second place in the county because of losing the final tottrnament game. Referring to the picture in the lower left hand corner of this page, those composing the group are: Upper row-Mariam Prentice. manager: Pauline Bateman guard: lfrva Dwight. guard: Miss Scott, coach: Lower row-l.eilah Mansky. guard: Mabel Rudy. forward: and Pthel Wcabser, forward. The girls' tnack team is under the guidance of Miss Scott. lt is composed of lfsther Miller, Agnes Kromer. l.eilah Mansky. Pauline Bateman. Marian Beebe. l.eota Moyer, Bertha Fisher. Mabel Rudy, and Julia Chorba. Last year they won second place at the fourfcornered track meet at Townsend in which Clyde. Gibsonburg. Townsend and Margaretta participated. They also claim the highest honors in the annual county track meet. winning Hrst place but doubling the total points of their nearest opponents. The girls soccer team was organized only this school year as a result of the influence of the Townsend girls who were well skilled in the game of soccer. Vklith Miss Scott coaching. a team of eleven was chosen. They are Marian Beebe, goal tender: Patiline Bateman and Mabel Rudy. fullbacks: Julia Chorba. Agnes Kromer, and leota Moyer. forwardsg l.eliah Mansky, left half back: Esther Gurtl. center half back: Rosa Nell Debo, right half back: listher Miller. right wing: and Bertha Fisher. left wing. Besides these sports the girls have participated in many other activities during th: year. During the fall a large group of girls were on their class volley ball teams. During the volley ball tournament the Sophomore girls proved to have the stronger team by defeating the Seniors by a close score. All students who were not on the basketball squad have been taking physical education once a week under the leadership of Miss Scott, All feel that they will miss these activities during the summer months.

First among these is Art Copeland. a scrappy center and captain of the '27 foot- ball team. Much credit is due Art for his guidance of the squad throughout the season. Next in the line is John Trinter, cap- tain of the basketball team and halfback on the football squad. He played well in both sports, leading the basketball five to many victoris. The left tackel, Ben Whit. deserves much crcdit for his work in smearing plays coming through the line. This is Betn's third year with the team. Fred Reifert was an outstanding player this year as end. He played a great game and was an important figure on the team. Herb Landers was right at home at his guard position and we are all proud of his work. Orson Kuhnle is another of the valuable players about to leave us. He received many passes and gained much ground this season in football. He also played a great game of basketball, caging many goals. Another of these athletes is Ernest Kuhl. who played a great game of guard and as an interference man could not be beaten. Melvin Rothgery was handicapped by lack of experience, this being his first year, but he did his best when given a chance at half. Howard Bogart also did his part in helping V. H. S. turn out a victorious team. He played forward on the basket- ball team and worked hard all through the season. Among our girl athletes is Bernice Phelps, captain and center of the basket- ball tcam. Bernice has played for three years and has gained many points for the team during this time. Evalyn Burrows as a guard made it hard for the oponents to score. She kept ,up a speedy defence and a close guard. Henriette Chandler has been with the team only a year but during that time she has proved her skill as a forward, and has shown good team work. Another of the guards was Bernadette Parsons who showed much skill in stop- ping her opponents. Lucy Golsky worked hard and helped the girls turn out a good team. Her posi- tion was forward.

Here is a sample, in briew, of a typical civics recitation. We straggle in from the halls, and saunter over to the windows to watch the men working on the tennis courts. Art and Bogy settle some minor grievances with a tussle and Red manages to get himself involved. The girls hug the radi- ator and exclaim to Miss Oswald It's too cold in here, or stand by the window and complain that it's hot in here. No wonder we can't think-I'm suffocating, as the case might be. The bell rings. Miss Oswald rounds up the loiterers from the hall, we find our chairs, prop our feet comfortably on the handiest elevation, and settle down Cliter- ally.J The class commences. Miss Oswald: Boys, take your feet from the waste paper basket, and rum around. Howard, you better get rid of that gum. Will you close the door, Ern- est, please? CTo a late comer, Did you have any excuse for being late? Tardy One : My locker stuck Che! hell The preliminaries over, Miss Oswald opens her book. We do likewise. Miss Oswald: For tomorrow we will begin with chapter XIII and will take over to page--hmn, let me see-. Well, I Sweetest Girl . ---------- Betty Ranney. Most Delicate Girl .--Genevieve Christian. Bernadtt was sitting on the beach gig- gling when Benrice came along and asked the reason. Oh, but isn't Fred the cut-up? re- plied Bernadette. between gasps of laugh- ICI. Yes, but where is he now? Bernice wanted to know. Well. he made a comic dive a while ago, and for the longest time he's been down under the water blowing bubbles for me. Orson K.: How come? Herb Landers: A moth leads an awful life. Herb.: He has to spend the summer in a fur coat and the winter in a bathing suit. Bernice Phelps: Fred. Fred Reifert: What? Bernice: The monkey died. Fred: Aw, I suppose you think that's smart. Lucy: Look at the length of that girl's skirt. Eva: Yes, it's very little our two feet. think you can finish the chapter. The class, individually, in chorus, in duets, quartets, sextets and every way imaginable: Why, Miss Oswald, that's twenty pages. forty-five lines of don't have a bit Neither do I. be done. Why, .1 it Miss Warner gave us Virgil. Yes, and I of time to study. 'Miss Oswald, it can't at this rate we'll finish the book in a week. Miss Oswald ffrigidlylz That will do! I'm teaching this class. and.I am perfectly capable of making lesson assign- ments. Close your book! Crestfallenly we close our books and settle still further down. We decide the worst is yet to come and we might as well get it over with. Miss Oswald: What is the relation between free public schools and govern- ment by the people, John? John tlooking dazedjz What? Miss Oswald: Charles. Red frumpling his hair and screwing his face aroundj: Well, it's this way. H-m-n. XVhat was the question? Oh! Well. you see. after they get their chink. they have to do something with it. so they build schools. Savvy? Miss Oswald: Guess again, Charles. Red shifts to a more comfortable posi- tion. chuckles inwardly. and looks around 36 THE ERIE ECHO to see what he can see. He usually sees something. Miss Oswald: Ben. Ben: It's beyond me. Miss Oswald: Eva. Eva: 'Where'bouts did you see that in the book? I studied my lesson, but I didn't see that. Miss Oswald: Well, couldn't you fig- ure it out? Bernice? Phelsie: I couldn't imagine. Miss Oswald Cto Bernadette who has been waving her hand frantically for the past five minuteslz Well, Bernadette. Bernadette: You can't have a govern- ment by the people unless the people are educated. Miss Oswald: Exactlyl Is it neces- sary to take tive minutes to answer a simple question like that? What? fin answer to a complaintj Well, what if it wasn't in your book in so many words? You should be able to figure that out, at least. fShe looks disgusted and opens her book for the next questionj Red says something inaudible to the rest of us. Miss Oswald grins, tries not to laugh, grins again. then laughs outright. The storm is over. And so the class goes on. After an interminable half-hour the reci- tation is closed. The Home Economics girls are excused to go to their class and our study hour begins. The rest of us sit up, stretch, rearrange our books and feet, and prepare to study. f Be prepared is a good motto.l Miss Oswald starts her daily tour of inspection. While her back is turned Betty Ranney and Evalyn Burrows carry on a sign conversation which all goes over my head fagain literally--I sit be- tween themj From time to time the waste basket, at the request of Miss Oswald, receives apportionments of perfectly good gum. Here and there a French book is seen. lFrench comes next period and-how we love d'Artagnan and his Trois Mausquit- aires.J Miss Oswald saunters around, settling disputes as to whose feet belong on a par- ticular chair-rung. flt seems some of the rungs are too little.l She collects Col- lege I-Iumors and Judges, for which she has a great fondness, it appears, and chats or chides as she sees lit. . Thus the last half hour passes. At a few moments of the time for the bell, we untangle our feet from the chairs, and put them in rows Cthat is the chairs.j The bell rings. We rush, saunter, swing and stroll out, as it pleases our persons or personalities. a good time hav- ing been enjoyed by all sometime during the hour fno refreshments were servedl, while Miss Oswald smiles benignly on her errant children. Which all goes to show that We Sen- iors, although we have our faults fwe even admit itj are not such a bad bunch after all. Just ask Miss Oswald. ATHLETIC BANQUET After aimlessly walking about the building for nearly a half an hour, we were finally conducted to the room that, just that noon, had been the common cafeteria hall. Now, all was changed. The light from the big yellow candles. whose candlesticks were adorned with pur- ple tulle bows, turned the room into an unbelievably beautiful place. We found our places and soon were seated. We saw, to our delight, that each favor was a rubber ball that, when squeezed, stuck out a red tongue from a painted face. Then a four-course dinner --ah! the remembrance of that delectable food still lingers in our memories. In spite of all the fun that is made about after-dinner speeches, we all en- joyed the program that was as follows: Toastmaster ............h Mr, Snyder, Welcome. ...........u. -Mrs. Phelps.

YVhy, the mothers. of cours-2. Vkfho else could nos- sibly get up such a perfectly satisfactory dinner, entertainment and general good time, besides our mothers? Don't ask. All mis happened on Monday. April 23. 1928, at the new school building of Vermilion Hi. Genevieve Christian Cworking on her M. O. S. booklz 'The roster and hen is in the lield.' What's the matter with that sentence? I Evalyn Burrows: The lady ought to be mentioned first. J UNIOR-SEN IOR RECEPTION On Thursday, May l0. the Junior- Senior reception was held in the new high school building instead of the old boat- club rooms, which were formerly used for this purpose. At 6:30 a joyous group of seniors, juniors, faculty members and guests turned their steps toward the cafeteria. where a delicious three-course dinner, pre- pared by the ladies of the Reformed Church, was served by the freshman girls. The tables were arranged in a V shape and decorated in the senior class colors- green and white. Light was furnished by green candles trimmed in white bows. The Huron orchestra furnished music dur- ing the dinner and afterwards for danc- ing. Following the dinner the program was as follows: ' Welcome-Harold Rathburn. Response-George Wakefield. Toast--Junior Class Sponsor. W. J. Gebhardt. Toast--Senior Class Sponsor, Miss Mary Ellen Hutton. Music. Trumpet Solos--Louis Gegen- heimer. Address-Mr. Mitchell. Music, Duet-Eleanor Alheit and Alice Rothfus. Toast-G. R. Snyder. Betty Hunter acted as toastmistress. Immediately after the rirogram, dancing furnished amusement in the auditorium, which was decorated in emerald green and white, serpentine with white balloons hanging from the trimmings. The committees in charge were: Decorating Committee-Virginia Hain. Alice Roscoe, Helen Hess. Recreational Committee-Betty Hunt- er, Louis Gegenheimer. Alice Rothfus. Dinner Committee-Helen Grant, Elea- nor Alheit. With Mr. Gebhardt acting as super- visor of these committees they have worked hard in order to make this a suc- cess and from some of the reports received. their time and efforts have been rewarded. Art Copeland: When did swimming become a national sport in Scotland? Ben: Hurry it along. Art: When they erected toll bridges. Pauline: Let's have an ice cream sun- dae. Henriette: Well, remind' me of it later: this is only Thursday. ' - Ernest K.: How did'you' win your girl? .. John T.. By serenading her Ernest: Golly That!'s how I lost mine. l THE ERIE ECHO 37 S7 151 'Y J amie ee nl, l I W .

After winning the Hrs! game of the season, defeating Berlin Heights. it looked promising for us. but luck must have been against us. All the girls played their best and we hope we have a team with as good sportsmanship next year. We are losing five of our players this year. They are: Capt. Ruth Gall. Mary Windau. Charlotte Wilkes. Vera Mae Smith and Ruth Jackway. Our letter girls were: Ruth Gall. G.: Charlotte Wilkes. F.: Ruth Jackway. F.: Mary Windan. F.: Eloise Sperry. F.: Virginia Hey- man. C.: Esther Durian. G.: Vera Mae Smith. G. At the start of thc season we were all in gloom because of such poor material for a team. The coach rounded up a bunch of fellows. some old and some new. and made a team. There were no games won the first semester. Finally like a dream it came true. Three new fellows who had been ineligible were included with the team of the first semester. It took three or four weeks to get team work and then we gave some of the stronger teams a race. Losing only a few men next year we hope to give all our opponents a run for their money.

The death is said to be caused by heart disease. As a matter of fact, the disease was not of short development but probably started in childhood from some local infection. The most common source is diseased teeth, tonsils and acute infec- tious diseases. It is with this in mind that we are anxious to make inspections and examinations of school children and get the small local infections corrected be- fore there is a generalized infection, which present knowledge of disease proves is the principal cause of diseases of the heart and kidneys that later in life cause the so-called sudden death. The field of public health work in the schools has changed rapidly in recent years. When this activity was new in the schools. the parents resented the work as an inter- ference with their personal rights. but a notice sent by the nurse giving findinys in the school. is row often sufficient to bring the child to the family physician. The more general appreciation of the principles of preventive medicine on the part of the parents has made it unueces- sary to make so many home calls to con- vince the parents that the child has a de- fect and that it will be a good investment to have the defect corrected. The dental clinic operated by the health department and financed by the Public Health League is of great value in demon- strating the value of oral hygiene. We do not hope to correct all dental defects at this clinic. It is doubtful if such pro- cedure is desirable, but we do demon- strate the value of dental corrections in children and thereby get more corrections by the regular family dentist. During the past year 93 children received dental corrections at the clinic. Crippled Children Wc do not believe there is a crippled child in the county that will profit by treatment or appliances that is not getting all that modern science can give it. There are at present twelve crippled children under the supervision of the health de- partment. In this work we are greatly assisted and work in cooperation with the Rotary Club. We have. in our program. eleven major activities. It is manifestly impossible to present each activity and the individual responsible for the work in this report, but we will give a brief description of each activity. Vital Statistics or Bookkeeping It is of the greatest importance to a health department that accurate records be kept of its vital capital, of its gains by birth and its loses by death: the num- ber of healthy children and the children with physical and mental defects: the number immune to certain diseases bv pre- viously having had the disease or by im- munization: the occurrence of certain dis- eases: records of sanitary quality of the milk and water supply: the spot maps showing the incidence and location of dlseases: graphic charts presenting a com- parative study of the incidence of disease and daily report cards from the attending physicians. The vital statistics are studied by the health commisisoner just as the meteor- ologist reads his instruments daily in or- der to forecast the weather and give warnings of the coming storm, so the health commissioner will study the re- ports and records of disease in order that he may be fore-warned of an impending epidemic and take measures to check its ravages.
