This annual represents the final efforts of the staff wand it is our sincere hope that in later years it Will bring back memories of the happiest time of -our lives-our school days. We hope that this book will re- call the spirit of Blume High and all the happy memories associated with it. Just as history records the achieve- ments of men and nations, so this Retrospect attempts to mirror the activities -of the students during the years of '31 and '32. If We, to Whom this Work has been in- trusted, have succeeded in accomplishing these things, we shall be amply repaid for the time spent 'on it.

She has made a place for herself in -our hearts by her outstanding ability, by her keen understanding and appreciation of the truly great things of life, by her loyal support of all school projects and by her spirit of cheerful patience 'and helpfulness. Under her guidance and leadership the dramatic productions of Blume High School have reached the highest standard of excellence and, mainly through her efforts, the school has become well known in that respect. May Miss Zeigler continue to be the guiding example and influence of our lives in the years after we leave old Blume High. v o 1 o n1n1u1u1o1o1:11010101011x1o1o1u1o1o1o141:11 11 10:4 O6 E i Q i f - 1 0. y1o10io1o1o1o-101011 1 ioioioiuqpui as0105u2111u1rz11rin1rx1lx1n1oirxI0101njo10i0bz4 .'4.ui0ioiniuioinini4linin1nixioioioiuiuzuxnxuioioi ini 1 112 THE RETROSPECT Miss Marion Wilson 1 1 1 1 101010--of-1010111u1u1u1n: :mimi in o.01x,11-11--------- 3 i o i H C H II II vie APPRECIATION To Miss Marian Wilson We wish to express our sin- Acere appreciation for her inestimable assistance through- out our high school career.

George Washington George Washington, our great American soldier-statesman, who was first in war, first in peace, and first in the hearts of his countrymen, was born in Westmoreland County, Virginia. Had The Father of His Country lived until the present time he would have celebrated his bi-centennial birthday February 22, of this year. This self-composed and dignified gentleman was a leading member in b-oth the First and Second Continental Congresses. He, with his iron-like character, became the Com- mander-in-Chief in the Revoluti-onary War. Under his leadership the Constitution was formed and George beclame the first president of the United States. Here it may be interesting to note that political leadership was unattractive to Washington, Three years aifter resigning from the office of president, this great man died at his home at Mount Vernon. -0--owl--o-.m Q -a+-0-4--v ...-vel-Q--m Q -0-on--0.0. 001 iuioiuioin-1 1 iuiuioiniuinir2111111 2 11: 1 1411rxirliuiuioioiuiojixioior1 r1oz1x1o1o1o1o1 1010101014 .ff Blume High School Building rioioioioioinioioi 2 I i E a 3cISOH.L3El El-LL .LD I 5 bio 1014111111111 11111111 in1411111m11u1111111o1n1411 1 1 1 1 111 1111411111011 THE RETROSPECT Blume High School The first graduating class, that of 1871, consisted of only three students, The exercises were held in the old school building where the Williamson building now stands and C. W. Williamson was superintendent of schools. The growth of population and business called for increased accommodations for school purposes, so the Williamson building was erected in 1874-75. In 1907 it seemed advisable to have a separate high school building. Need for a suitable location was one of the difficulties. This difficulty was removed when Mr. T. N. Blume kindly donated the present site. Our school received its name, Blume High School, in honor of its donor. The building' was adequate at the time and it was thought that it would not be filled to capacity for twenty years. Yet, in 1922, it became apparent that the build- ing could not accommodate the growing student body. Through the untiring efforts of the citizens of Wapakoneta, the new annex was begun in March, 1924 and com- pleted the same year. The new part contained a library, clubrovoms, a spacious audi- torium and extra classrooms with modern equipment. The completed structure is im- posing and modern as well. V At the present time we can well be proud of our school. Blume High houses some four hundred students and is ranked as a first-class institution, well-knWn by colleges.

I-Ii-Y Club The organization of the Hi-Y club took place in Blume High School in January, 1924. The first Hi-Y club was started in the United States in 1870. Every club is affiliated with State, National and International organizations. Every member must be willing to take as his purpose to create, maintain, and extend, throughout the school and community, high standards of Christian character, and take his stand on the Hi-Y Platform, namely: Clean Speech, Clean Living, Clean Sportsmanship and Clean Scholarship. The officers of this club for this year are as follows: president, Winifred Harsh- barger, vice president, Bus Chesbrough: secretary, Bob Kettering: and treasurer, Russel Shlanuon. ' The membership is open to upper-classmen Whose scholarships are equal to athletic eligibility or better, land who successfulllygpass the examinations for entrance. Hi-Y conferences are held in which the members get together and discuss prob- lems which are important to boys. Many people do not realize how much influence .a club, made up of a group oi boys who must have, certain standards, caan have -on the school and c-ommunity. Every one should help keep up these worthy ideals and strive to haave the whole school adopt them in order to put everyone on an equality. The officers, committees, and advisers of the club have much to do with the development of the best in each boy. This organization has accomplished many fine things in the past and are con- tinuing their good Work, It is at this time under the splendid leadership of Mr. Bush and Mr. Steiner. 451010101014 2010101 aio: 31111: 1 :ui -1 1 11111 1 111 111 1 1- iszwiniuxoil ozo ! 1 I u E i i !

' ag . 0 Q - I Girl s Reserves Club 1 ! The Girl Reserves Friendship Club is the Junior Y. W. C. A. and an international Q organization. Definite work with younger girls in the Y. W. C, A. began as early as I 1881 when Oakland, California had as an auxiliary a Girls' Christian Association. A So rapidly did activities for girls grow and so varied were they in their scope and ! variety that in 1918 unity was brought about by the use of the name Girl Reserves. l This organization was started in Blume High School in the spring of 1924. , i The purpose of this club is to find and give the best which means to Promote 2 a spirit of good fellowship among all the girls of -our schoolg to stimulate a sympath- Q etic interest in the people and the problems of the worldg to inspire clean, healthful l livingg and to foster a religion that expresses itself in straight forward conduct and i in helpful relationships with other people. 2 The triangle and circle is the symbol of the Girl Reserves Club. The three sides ! of the triangle represent body, mind, and spirit. , -This organization has as its slogan Face life squarely. 'All upper classmen, who are willing-to fulfill the pledge are eligible to member- : ship. ! The officers of this club for this year are as follows: president, Ruth Koch: vice ! president, Elizabeth Cartmellg secretary, Mary Ellen Maxwell, and treasurer, Ruth ' Clapp. i The Girl Reserves movement is not a plan, it is an idea. It is n-ot ia. set of ways - of doing things, neither is it a. tool: it is an understanding. Q This understanding has, grown out of the experience of younger girls who have Q responded to encouragement to initiate and create, in other words to think for i themselves and to make for themselves. i i 55 nt, 1,10-, - ,Z 3- - --111:-nga1u1Q1win1111011:1111u1o1u1u1n1o1u1o1n11r1o 01 Oi - - '1 1 1 1 1 THE RETROSPECT 4, The Nut Farm Top row, left to right-Don Davis, James Telljolm, Paul Jacobs, Bruce Miller, Ned Dingler, ' Second Row-Emily Swink, Donna Metzger, Miss Ziegler, Ruth Clapp, Mary Ann Shaw. Member of cast not pictured-Gertrude Lyman. A The situation of the play all revolves around the purchase of Ia nut farm in order to get away from California. Willie Barton, James Telljohn, hears. that his sister, Helen Bent, Donna Metzger, has been influenced by a scenario writer, Clarice Bidde- ford, prayed by Mary Ann Shaw and Hamilton T. Holland, Ned Dingler, to try and persuade Bob Bent, Paul Jacobs, to let her make a moving picture with Bob'si money. He tells his mother, Mrs. Barton, Ruth Clapp, about it and they both are quite ex- cited when Bob consents to make the picture which they know is a fraud, All the 'while Hilda. the maid, Gertrude Lyman, plays her part unconcerned with what is happening. Willie, after Holland said thlat he could direct the picture, at first refused and then accepted in an effort to make Bob withdraw his money. Some of the parts get turned around until the play is not a tragedy when Van I-I-orton, Bruce Miller, who is the hero of the movie, kills Helen, of course only in the play part. Everything goes wrong and Bob loses his money: so it seems. After the picture was made, Bob and Mrs. Barton are quite upset-Willie has gone and finally Ezra Sliscombe, Don Davis, the yanky farmer, announces that his daughter, Agatha, Emily Swink, is gone and that Willie must be responsible, for he has fallen. in love with her. They decide to go back to Newark because of the lack of money when Miss Biddeford comes to Bob, offers him 955,000 for his share of the picture. This astonishes Bob very much and he is about to sign the contract when Holland rushes in to offer Bob 310,000 for his share. It all leads up to a climax when Willie steps in and makes his announcements. He had turned the movie into a comedy, bought Holland's rights, had a check for eighty thousand dollars for Bob, had a contract for himself with Mack Sennet, and had married Agatha. , - So the Bents bought the nut farm after all! ! 0:4 o 1 Q ! ! ! 1 E n I !

Captain Applejackv Captain Applejackj' an outstanding success in all phases, 'was given as the under-class play this year, , ' It is the story of Ambrose Applejfohn, acted very well by Edward Stroebel, who suddenly, one wintry evening, tells his ward, Poppy Faire, portrayed by Emily Swink, and his aristocratic Aunt Agatha, RuthfClapp, that he is tired of his old life and has offered the ancestral home of the Applejohn's for sale! Of course Aunt Agatha and Poppy are quite astonished and go to ,bed greatly disturbed. - In the course of the evening, Mr. and Mrs. Pengard, acted by Eleanor Abe and Don Davis, enter, pretending tfo buy the house but really having quite a different purpose. Shortly after they go, a lady who, calls herself Anna Valeska, Donna Metzger, comes, claiming to have been followed by the Russian spy, Borolsky, Suddenly a loud knock is heard on the door. Anna hides and Ivan Borolsky, Lee Haman, enters in search of her. However, he finally goes away outwitted by Ambrose but determined to return and find her. Anna is then sent to bed and Poppy comes down to Ambrose.. In the course of their talk they see a burgla.r's tool left by Mr. Pengard beside an old secret-hiding place in the Wall. They search this place then and find an old- parchment that says that a great treasure is hidden in the room and that Ambrose's direct ancestor was Applejack, the pirate. ' The second act takes place in a dream that Ambrose has about the pirate ship. In this, Anna Valeska is a Portugese captain, and Pengard is a mate aboard ship. Borolsky .heads a mutiny and finally by the decision of the cards, Applejack wins and Borolsky dies. The next act takes place when Ambrose awakens :and realizes that he has to face a grave situation. His ancestral pirate traits are carried over and he is quite a. changed man. There is a meeting of the Pengards. Anna Valeska, Borolskv, and Bill, Wright Shaeffer, who pretends he is an officer. They are all thieves and plan to get the treasure. However, Ambrose .and Johnny Jason, Fenton Hamilton, outwit them after finding a treasure of plriceless pearls. The alarm clock goes off and pre- tending that it is the telephone over which he can phone the police. Ambrose wards them off. The play is closed with the same ending as in act two- Aces, All Aces - Ambrose discovers that all romance is not outside the home-he has discovered Poppy! 10101 zu: 10101 2 1 1 111 311 3:1 1 ixixcb 1 3 1131 3:1101 in10ioiniozoiuioinini 1 3 1 1 1 irili 1 in 3,1030 1 :uit xoxoxoxoxuzozognzozozozrri 3 113 iuiniuxnxjoiui no Q 010 uzuxuxuxoxnx ning ri: u-1 :1 10102112 ini THE RETROSPECT Top row, left to right-Junior Musser, Roland Morris, Maurice Thrush, John Wisener, La Rue Metzger, John Louis Smallwofod.

It would be almost impossible to think of Blume Hi without its triumphant band. Mr. Steiner has organized and led the band throughout this year. The band has played at most of the home football and basketball games, at musical festivals held in the Blume Hi auditorium, at the county fair, at the .annual I-Iall'owe'en Masquerade held in Wapakoneta, and many -other times throughout the year when it was asked to play by the school or community. It has alwlays responded willingly whenever it was asked to help. Every student is proud of this -organization because of the excellent spirit it showed, It seemed to put pep into our football and basketball games. As the arrayed band would come marching down the football field in perfect rhythm, the air seemed to fill with a deafening roar of applause from the onlookers. Lee Haman is our tall and gallant drum major. We can't tell whether he practices much or not, but we can see that he knows his stuff. - -u--o-o--o--v Q -o-+4-o-in -1-4-o-+-v Q -o--Q--s-4'-v Q' yjoioioiuioiwir:3o:u1u:n1n2ng1xioio:oiuiuZu?r 1 :guy1xxtrilviuioininioirlillilliuvQ 9.01 111011111 1 11101 111110101111u1o1o1o1u1o1u1 1 -1 1 1 1 1 1014110101 1110? 2 i Q E Q i i i OO 'THE RETROSPECT g , !

Since then it has been a part of the extra-curricular activities of the school. This year, although some of the veteran members were lost in the class of '31, many new members were added and the orchestra is fairly large. A y The orchestra offers a splendid opportunity for those with talent who wish to join. This organization meets regularly once a Week for practice in the music hall at the eighth period. It has helped put on the musical programs given during the year. Mr. Steiner is the leader of the orchestra this year. Through his able guidance the orchestra has assumed its present proporti-on. -u-4--c--o--0' fr-0-4--n-.Q--mr -o-+-0--0-a-Q-9--o-.u-Q--m ' ' E . g V i v1 101 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 p1 1m:11r1:1mcpx1r1r1x1 1x1u1o1n1u1n1 0101152 ,ozozozazoxozoznxnzcx ri 1 111101111011r:n1n:n1o1o:n:i:u1o:u11l1o1n1o1o1o11n1l THE RETROSPECT .

Mixed Chorus The students of Blume High were given a wonderful opportunity at the begin- ning of this school year. They were offered a chance to join the mixed chorus and a. number survived the strenuous, embarrassing tryout. To these we should extend, our gratitude because they have shown an enthusiastic spirit throughout. The chorus met twice each week to drill their voices to keener value. No popu- lar songs were sung during the entire year because they contain too much slang. All thought that singing classical songs entirely would become very dull, but, on the contrary, they learned that good classical music really can be appreciated. Thev ex- hibited their unrivaled performance twice in our auditorium at musidal festivals. After the first festival the chorus was divided and nearly all went Christmas oarol- ing in the different parts of the city. As many from thel chorus as could journeyed to Bluffton on December twentieth to hear Hiandel's Messiah, Although the sing-ing they heard was much better than theirs, there are some in the chorus who have ac- quired skill that is rare and remarkable. It has been a custom in previous years to have a boys' and a girls' glee club instead of a Mixed Chorus. Although glee club work wasn't offered this year both boys' and girls' glee clubs were organized out of the chorus. Several boys' quartets, mixed quartets, and girls' trios were -organizedd to try out as representative of the school. Also several soloists were practicing for the Eisteddiod. The tryout was held on March. 22 in the Blume Hi auditorium. Two capable musicians rendered the decis- ions and thev were as follows: soprano solo-Dolores Case: alto solo-Margaret Bush: girls trio-Marszaret Bush Orva Cannon, Carmen Shaw: male Quartet-Ned Ding- ler, John Wisener. Pich.a.rrl VVisener, Lee Haman: baritone solo-Lee Haman: tenor solo-Ned Dingler: violin solo-Cornelius Loew: piano solo-Dean Kohler, and' mixed quartet-Lee Haman, Eleanor .Tane Abe, Dolores Case and .Tohn Wisener. Mr. Steiner was our music instructor this term. Although he is a. very good sing- er, he is still a better leader and we wish to thank him in behalf of the whole stu- dent body for his work in our school. fo I I !. Q.

The purposes of the Club are: To foster a higher and finer social spirit among the students of the department: to present to the students through lectures, plays, programs, the problem of business life and a better conception -of the commercial world as it is today, to give awards for typing, which formerly had been given by the typewriting companies but has been discontinued by them, and to sponsor commercial contests which are given each year. The plans of the Club have been retarded this year as the club was organized in the second semester of school, but it is hoped that in the Fall the cornmercial students may work with renewed energy and interest, and carry it forward surmount- ing all obstacles. The officers of the club for this year are as follows: president, Clarence Miller, vice-president, Glenn Bowman: secretary, .lane Seitzg and treasurer, Roger Bailey. The Commercial department, an infant member of the school organization, is fast developing into a progressive division -of the educational life in the high school and community. I add community because we feel that the work of this Depart- ment is of vital importance in bringing about greater efficiency and intelligence in the business life of Wapakoneta and its vicinity. Students in the Commercial Department have instruction in shorthand, type- writing, bookkeeping, and commercial arithmetic, The English Department offers in addition to these subjects, a splendid course in Business English, while economics also holds an important position in the supplementary business training. gg, 910101010-loin: :mini 1 11112 1 111 2 1010101 1 iyioioirlioinioioioiuoa 1 1 1 ini: iniuiniuiuinirxioioiu1010: mimi: THE RETROSPECT ATHLETICS 'di gg rm QW f ffW,jaffzJVff 1 sf x W V VWWV VMWAW Wm -mlb 44 E 5 T 'S'-fig: , if 'X Y' ' K Our Warriors In their armor of red and White, Our warriors c-ome out to fight.

The game with Kenton on Dad's day, resulted in a Redskin victory, 14-7. The biggest game of the season was with St. Marys on Armistice Day. The final score was 7-6 in favor of the Redskins, i, Every member of the squad thoroughly enjoyed the season and are deeply ap- preciative to the in-others for the enjoyable banquets which they gave the entire squad. i The twenty Seniors will be greatly missed when the 1932 warriors assemble.

A Girls' Athletics Athletics for both girls and boys are the objectives of the physical education department of our school. Believing that these are worthy aims, the girls have been privileged to continue with their basketball activities. This year there was an un- usually large number -of girls participating. The formation of la team is indeed a big problem for any coach. Team work means more than individual players being selected on a team since all must be of the same mind. We believe this type of cooperation has been well accomplished in our basketball team. To Win games is always the outstanding objective of .al team but how to win is a far superior aim. The efforts of the girls have been to Win but Win like real sports'- men. To win games means that all must be in good physical condition and this too is one of the purposes of the team. We believe this objective has been realized. . Only by a real bit of true leadership, can a team realize the full value of bas- ketball. We believe and kn-ow this leadership has been had in the pefrsonagef of our coach, Miss Embree, In all events she has emphasized Winning but by clean, straight sportsmanship. We believe our year has been a success under her coaching. -u-of-0--o-M 0 -l--9-Q-o--ov -0-4-'va-m Q -a--0-+0-4--u 5 1u1n1u1n1u1 114 1 iuxn101.01010141111101 sfo ! ! ! ! E.

She inspired the confidence of both team and coach and then lived up to it. Dependable and consistent from beginning to end. Shirt is a real spo-rt. LENA RUTH VOSSLER- SIS A team mate -of equal ability for Shirley. After two fouls had been called on her, the game was on in earnest! Not for the opponents-Oh, no, for them it was over. MXARCEL BURDEN-- BABE She doesn't say much-but why sh-ould she? Actions speak louder than words! Babe forms the other point of that invincible defensive triangle. Basket ball to Babe is a problem and she fattacks it as such, cool, collected. But it's fun-and she loves it. , MONA LINDER- MONA ' ,Mona was a consistent, hard playing team-mate. She might have been timid about shooting but that was all. She filled her place in that scheme 'of offense which, once started, couldn't be stopped. We can sum the whole thing up by saying her basket- ball playing is commensurate, only with her chewing gum. ELIZABETH CARTNIELL- LIZ Liz was our high point scorer for the season. As for her opponent, they might have been out big game hunting , because hunting was all they ever did where she was concerned. She was much too fast for them even to find her-Whiz- she had the ball, Whiz-we had a basket. MARGARET. BUSH- BUSH Bush is our only senior. We feel sure that if she shows the same good sports- manship and fight in the game of life that she does in the game of basket ball, she will certainly be a success. She filled the bill both offensively and defensively and we say, Best of luck, Bush. LULA MAE TERWILLIGER- LU Lue came to us at the beginning of the second semester. It seemed as though we were waiting for that confidence and assurance that she gave us. We can cer- tainly say that, with her dependability and cleverness, she was a big help to our team. MARJEAN HEADAPCHL Marjean in her quiet but deliberate way was' ready to rise to any necessity that circumstances demand. The team felt that perfect confidence that she always seemed to inspire. We can remember when our team looked 'decidedly better because of her. FLORENCE KA-NTN ER- SH'ORTY Shorty was an inspiration to all. What she lacked in inches she amply made up for in fight. She has the spirit that makes successful ball teams. And now we come to those girls who really make teams like we had possible. Those girls who, evening after evening, faithfully came to practice and yet, whose rewards are not in the form of letters or participation in games. Those girls com- mand great respect from both team and coach. Their sportsmanship is a thing which has been a goal for all' to work for. The following merit mention, because at various they have-been a part of our playing scheme: Elizabeth Bachman, Frances Brodbeck, Emma Vorhees, Caroline Weimert, and Laura Alice Youngs. Last, but not least, comes another who has helped make our team the success it was, Kathleen VVoolfe, our trusty manager. Always ready to do her share, cheer- fully and willingly. Kathleen and her team mate, Virginia McCormick are' a proof that one can know real sportsmanship 'without being a participant in the game. We thank them!

Track TCHIII The interest in varsity track has been greatly increased this spring. More than seventy boys reported to Coach Hamm at the start of the track season. An unusual amount of enthusiasm was sh-own and training started in earnest in spite of the cold weatherr. Strict training rules were laid down and a single violation meant that the offender was automatically dropped from the squad. The loss of VVald.man by graduation last year was keenly felt in the hurdles and dashes, but at the beginning of the season prospects were bright for Blume I-Iigh's best year.

There were six lettermen in school from last seasong but two were ineligible and two unable to plaly so again our team was represented by comparatively inexperienced players, James Tellj-ohn and Bob Snyder were the two lettermen on the squad. Edward Stroebel, Cornelius Loew, Harley Nelson, -and Darrell Woolf completed the squad. Darrell is the Junior Champion of Wapakoneta and much is expected of him. Edward Stroebel was the runner-up in the city tournament. N Each year two games have been scheduled with Sidney, Van Wert, Piqua, Bluff- ton and Celina. . During the 1931 season Blume High won twice 'from Wan Wert and Piqua and -once from Celina. Matches were lost to Bluffton and Sidney while one match was lost to Celina. So many girls were interested in tennis this year that intramural tennis was organized for them. A tournament was planned for the last week of school, the win- ner to receive a prize of la scholastic tennis letter. Two inter-scholastic matches were scheduled with girls from Sidney and Celina. -0--0-0-ovm Q -Oreo-D--+-N ....,.g.4.-0.

But this group was extraordinary. Each individual was an expert in his -or her own way. Some expected to reach their greatest heights 'through intellectual achievements, others hoped for glory on the gridiron, the hardwood, or the cinder track. Others intended to become luminaries in the realm of dramatics or music. After nine months of intensive climb, all planes were leveled off and the taxed minds allowed to rest. But this could not last for long, Again these ambitious pilots turned their crafts skyward, and again these ingenious students excelledd all previous records. Then here, as every where, we find individual characters turning from the followed path and finding for themselves unimaginable honor and glory. After another nine months of exerted flight these planes are again given a breathing spell. The third lap is a perfect likeness of the other two, different only in that here we find even greater accomplishments. By this time the skies are clear and the resourceful pilots find but few head winds to be overcome. The motors are permitted to cool and then the fourth and final stretch is begun. With a burst of speed and initiative, these high flying geniuses again rise to altitudes of fame. The mechanic of our drome , Blume Hi, thought that no stu- dent pilot of these complicated crafts could ever recah a higher altitude than this 011111 1 -inioiuiui 1:1111 111 1 1 iii ix: 1 1 10111 1913 10101 promising class had done on their previous flight. But here they were wrong. For after setting a mark to which others can strive, these record breaking students of this game of life banked sharply onto a field -of honor, where their efforts were rewialrded with the much prized diplomas. And now, armed -with these certificates, they are prepared for any adventure or difficulty which might present itself. -J AMES ' VARNER D101 ! ! ! ! unopzo 41, ..--.- --gi:-20201111 THE RETROSPECT ,-E . 1. .---N ... .A . .YY ,,..,, W- - - as 'r r Left to right-Dolores Case, Robert Snyder, John Nagel, Emily Swink.

To the highest bidder, an equal chance in the world of men and affairs for fame and fortune. Terms: A full measure of brain, determination, courage and loyalty. Interest and principal collected annually. To this thrilling call to arms as it were, a small army began to assemble on the Campus of Blume Hi at the appointed hour. It seemed as though there was no end to this purposeful throng. From far and near they came: clear eyed youth responding to the clarion call of opportunity. Behold! The Freshman Class of '29. With grim determination they went into their work like soldiers going into bat- tle. They would be able to pay the interest and principal when the loan on this great chance should be called. But alas! As our friend Bobbie Burns says, The best laid plans gane aft aglaef' Some lost interest, some suffered through illness but few failed to meet their obligations on the day of reckoning. Thus passed the first year of great adventure for the Senior Class of '33. Gaining strength and knowledge through previous errors they embarked upon the year of 1930, their minds were made up, their plans were laid for a more thorough application to the business on hand, that of acquiring a firm 'foundation for their wonderful structure of life. 'Thus the doughty Sophomores of Blume Hi set out to- :Jetter their assets and lessen their liabilities. Firmer understanding between teacher and student was evidenced at the outset. Greater interest was shown in the welfare and integrity of the school. Pride in their personal appearance was manifested to a noticeable degree. Forebearance of weakness of others, and courtesy to all was another -outstanding trait that grew and thrived as the year rolled. With the next day of accounts we find few exceptions in this en- tire army of youth stepping forward gayly, confidently to meet the future. So passed the Sophomores of '30 and '3l. ' And now the noble Juniors, the cream of the crop, are stepping forward to first place not only in learning but in athletics as well. -Though handicapped in many ways it was the tremendous fighting hearts of -our boys that helped in putting across one of the school's greatest athletic victories. VVe must not forget our girls, because it was their steadfast support that inspired the boys to do or dare. K So now the Senior Class of '33, from spindle-legged, gawky Freshmen, green as the grass that grows in country lanes, to the dignified Juniors, there has been just one thought in their minds: For our God and our country, our school and ourselves, we stand, Unus Omni. bus Omnes Uno. -KATHRYN WENTZ 10111111-11011111111l111r11111111111u101l1oi 1111111111n1u1n1u1u1u1n1 11:11 11: 1 1 1:11 1 111 l I M - - - -1 -111111.11 1111010101011 yzaoiuioioioioioioi 1:14 1111: :oi .n ..

This splendid train was going to carry them on a journey of almost ten months length through the land of education, where they would learn new things and enjoy new pleasures. These young people were fresh from a three, months vacation after having spent a year in the Freshman Section. There they had become accustomed to the intricacies of high school life. There they had distinguished themselves as a fine class in scholarship, as well as in athletics and music. Now they were coming back to start their second year with new vigor and courage. All were eager to begin their work again. Each one of them was required to inspect four cars every day. Several energetic students voluntarily took 'five as their allotment. Most of the cars had to be visited daily! however, sev- eral required -only two or three visits a week. While in these various departments, the pupils, under the guidance of competent instructors, studied many subjects. In one of them English was taught: in another-Latin, and so on. The periods not spent in these special class coachesfwere taken up by studying in the largest unit of the section, called the Study Hall. Of course there were athletic cars. Here a number of sophomore boys showed themselves to be athletes of great promise in football, basketball, track, and tennis. In these sports they accomplished much in the way of physical development. Several girls, also made names for themselves in basketball. A few of our classmates toofl part in dramatic presentations and musical events, and were very successful. During the year, the Limited made three important stops. On Armistice Day it paused at Harmon Field while most of the class turned -out to cheer our gridiron warriors to victory over our perennial rival, St. Marys. In. January, another StOp was made, this time for mid-year exams. This was not as joyous an occasion as Armistice Day, but most of the class came through unscathed. Then in early June, when the flowers and treeswere growing more beautiful every day, the train once more came to a standstill, and the happy throng of young people crowded out of the cars-an- other very profitable year of travel into education had ended. -CORNELTUS LOEW -n--Q-o-4--m 0 -0--o--o--Q-to -o-+-o-4-a- Q -9--o--o-vm 101 1 1 -1i1uirriniciinzoxuiuini 1 ix: ioininicri 1 3 ioioiuioiuinioimq THE RETROSPECT SOPHOMORES Top row, left to right-Dean Kohler, Emil Tieben, Harold Lanning, Charles Phil- lips, Frederick Ballweg, Cornelius Loew, Charles Fleming, Fenton Hamilton, John Louis Smallwood.

THE RETROSPECT Freshman Class History We passed the milestone of grade school and entered high school with joy, en- thusiasm, and not a little fear. And now that the first year of our high school 'career has become history we will try to make a brief resume of the high spots in that time. It did not seem possible that we were now a part to that institution which for eight years we had looked upon from the outside, that it was now our duty to- up- hold the school in all its undertakings, to do all we could to keep its standing upl among the other schools, and to enter into all activities with energy and spirit. We were now imbued with the same school spirit we had seen exhibited in others, and were happy in the fact that we were not different except as we thought oureelves a little better than the usual run of freshmen. When we entered high school that first diay we were awed by the sea of faces ioward the Freshies to ascertain whether they might not by chance discover some look, some act that would create merriment. We carried off our part, however, with a. good show of bravado. We were bewildered the first few weeks by a maze of doors, halls, and rooms and by the persistent ringing of a bell that meant nothing whatever to us. But as time went on and we settled into the regular school routine, we found we hadlearned the way around and had quite established ourselves. The studies at first were new and confusing, made doubly so by new teachers with whom we were not acquainted, But, as we learned to know them, better. we found that they were quite as helpful and sympathetic as any we had had heretofore. We were greatly relieved to find they were not so terrifying as we had thought. We sincerely hope we have made as good an impression on them as they have on us. 'Then as sports became popular we were more than proud to see a large repre- sentation of the Freshman class in all lines: football, basketball, and track. We be- gan to realize we were being trained for our part as seniors to uphold Blume High in all sports. The rest of the year passed quietly, and we found we had made a place for -ourselves. This last year has been spent not only in acquiring knowledge but also in becoming trained so that we might be able to hold up the honor of Blume High School when we became seniors. We are sure we have profited by the example set by the Class of '32 and hope we have helped them too. p So in closing we wish to thank all the freshman teachers for their help and guidance and to extend to the Seniors who are leaving this year, s-ome to higher in- stituti-ons of learning, others to occupations that await them, the wishes of the Freshman Class. 5-EMILY GARRETSON -0-Q-0--0-0 Q -0-4--0-+vm -a-4-0-9-v 0 -0-vw-9 n. uioiciaz 1 :xi 21:11 1 1 1 1 tiring irzriniririoioi nine - - - - -.- --- - - qvozuzo14110101mimic:oxnxninioioioxoog 1 111 TH E RETROSPECT FRESHMAN 1 Top row, left to right-William Jearmeiret, John Idle, Frederick Koch, Harold Claflin, R-obert Metzger, Orva Cannon, Charles Stein, Virginia Lehning, Kathaleen Smith, Bernard Idle, Helen Heil, Madge Kentner, Lucille Wilges, Emma Vorhees. - Second Row-Carrol Kuhns, Pauline McCullough, Norma Zvviebel, Lucinda Schneix der, Leonard Rankin, Junior Berg, Helen Brackney, Emily ,,Garretson, Maxine Shaw, Susan Seitz, Eileen Hodges, Goldie Rostorfer, Bob Hine-r, Lorin Mills, Billy Martin.
