THE RETROSPECT . . A PICTORIAL REVIEW OF OUR STUDENT DAYS AND DOINGS . . CAUGHT IN MOTION AND RECORDED PERMANENTLY IN OUR SENIOR YEAR BOOK DIRECTORS: Carolyn abraham Robert Stultz LIGHTS and SOUND: Richard Telljohn Paul Stech LYRICS: Miss Genevieve Elankenbaker THE RETROSPECT-1936 BLUME HIGH SCHOOL • • • WAPAKON ETA, OHIO FOREWORD You have before you a presentation by the senior class of 1936; the purpose of which is to portray, represent, and tell you of the doings of these students and their colleagues, the under-classmen. This book catalogues all events of interest and importance. The staff has diligently and laboriously given all their efforts to this Retrospect. They have tried just a little better than their best to acquaint you with our school. In the pages following, you will see pictures of our teachers, our smiling seniors, jocund juniors, fearless freshmen. Then there are plates of Boosters Club, Commercial Club, G. R. Club, Hi-Y Club, and every kind of club or organization in the school. You will notice with pride our band, all shiny and bright, in their new uniforms; our orchestra, realistically snapped with their instruments, and our football and basketball heroes standing straight and grinning into the camera. The duties, purposes, and accomplisments of all societies have been duly set down. Outstanding pupils have been given their proper place in school life. All contests and sports have been thoroughly outlined. A short record of our scheduled basketball and football games has been written for your benefit and convenience. And a summary of our many victories and few defeats is also contained in this 1936 Annual. Our snapshot page of both students and faculty at play will make everyone remember those good old school days . We have new, original jokes and old, favorite ones to provide fun and comedy. And then there is a complete directory of each senior in the school—every office he has filled, every activity in which he has participated, all honors he has won, and the organizations he has supported. And, of course, that's not all, because we have numerous new features which can't be mentioned due to lack of space. Therefore, as you pursue the seventy-odd pages in this 1936 Retrospect, we hope you will get a general conception (behind the scenes, so to speak) of the happy school life of Blume High. EDITOR DEDICATION Mr. Beckwith As the outgoing cast of another of Blume High School's pictures, we wish to dedicate this review of Technician Beckwith for his interesting and valuable aid in our climb to stardom in the film of 1936. Throughout his schedule with the numerous branches of the mechanical role of the studio, he became respected by many understudies. It was through his efforts that the auto-mechanic's script was brought from the background into the spotlight. His studio has been developed until the equipment is remarkable for its size. Behind his twinkling eyes and comic character is the common sense and tolerance to do justice to any philosopher. His role in the drama of school life is underestimated; but his character is not daunted. Therefore, as we leave the stage, we take great privilege in showing our appreciation of him on the screen of this preview. LIFE AT BLUME HIGH SCHOOL A TWO REEL FEATURE Reel I BEHIND THE SCENES ADMINISTRATION CLASSES Reel II ON LOCATION ACTIVITIES ATHLETICS FEATURES Reel I BEHIND THE SCENES ADMINISTRATION . CLASSES Mr. Menschel After being approved by the board of censors the photoplay is in the hands of Mr. Menschel, our advisor. From him come instructions and directions for the filming of the picture. He's not the man who holds the megaphone and shouts orders about the dramatic edition of the play, but quietly he sits in his office, behind closed doors, giving advice, conferring, and supervising all actions of the company. He doesn't turn the handle on the camera but he tells the best way to make our picture a success. The man in closest contact with the film colony is Mr. Simpson, our critic. Every day he must be on the set with his mind ready to answer and direct the activities of the entire company. To him the players go for directions and help. As we reel off scene after scene we find our critic willing and helpful in creating a force that will make our school days worth while. Simpson MR. TAYLOR Commercial MRS.

REINARDT THE BOARD OF CENSORS Behind the scenes of this production sits a group of persons who act as censors, advisors, and financiers— the Board of Education. Their activities and duties are many and varied. They must examine and verify the script before any scene can be shot. They must finance the production company. They decide upon the length of time required to make a successful picture and upon the theme. In selecting a plot they must consider many things. They must make allowance for the cost of scenery, for without an adequate supply of material with which to work the directors cannot make a satisfactory picture. Public opinion must also be considered for the picture must please the audience in order to be a real success. Duirng this season they whole-heartedly supported the two mill levy in order to enable the show to be continued. Not only were they successful in this but they also obtained the permission of the public to construct an athletic field and swimming pool for the stars to use in their leisure time.

Through their three year assignment, many exciting, embarrassing, and breath taking moments have been experienced which were not written in the script. But they have all learned their lines and actions to perfection so this particular lot does merit some outstanding talent and exceptional mental ability. Seemingly so, the Junior misses prefer to lead in the stenographical courses with the spotlights and cameras focused during commercial contests. Included in this special cast are Helen Lusk, Wanda McCullough, Mildred Varner, Harriet Knatz, Violet May Beech as cinema queens of shortland and bookkeeping as well as the typewriter. Famous of these makers of fashion are those donning trousers to lead the art of cheerleading. Those who delight in spurring the record-makers to victory and heroism are Rosemary Kantner, and Wanda McCullough. During the third year production, the Juniors are given the opportunity of editing the weekly paper. Many names have become famous for the contributions received for this Lantern. Mary Bachman is assistant editor, while almost the entire staff is composed of girls. The girls are just as well represented in the movie band and accompanying orchestra playing violins, flutes, clarinets and drums. Also they are very active in the Acapella Choir. One of those who starred in the operetta in 1933 Miss Cherry Blossom, was Helen Lusk. B. Metzger W. McCullough R. Kantner H. Schlatter M. Scott D. Botkin C. Fullerton J. Sprague M. Shappell H.

Sawmille; As we travel along, attempting to show you our entire lot and producing apparatus, we come to those lads who have spent three years working toward a final goal. In their achievements, we notice that sports, singing, and miscellaneous talents comprise their producing qualities. Their chief manager for this year is Bill Jarvis, with John Lanning as assistant advisor, secretary and treasurer of the coming cinema graduates. One of the outstanding musicians of this lot is Bob Parish who is accompanying artist for those who make their debut into the movie world as singers. He, with Fritz Fisher was one of the warbling four who comprised a quartet well on to fame in our colony. Many of this cast play instruments both in our orchestra and band which plays for opening nights and premiers. William Kcmlner, William Koenig, Fritz Fisher, Bud Faulder, and Dale Claflin are those actors who prefer action and excitement in their play. They all were members of the school football team. Not forgotten though are those fellow teammates who also prefer action but on the inside. They prefer the bright lights and evening shifts as their scenes are shot in the gym during a basketball game. Among these are Andrew Bailey, William Kantner, William Koenig, George Dickas, and Rollin Kennedy. These boys are especially proud because of their cooperation in winning the Midwest League Championship which in reality is given for expert acting' and close shots. Dou bles-Actor s D. Winterman F.

This group establishes and enforces the rules of all social activities. it is composed of a boy and girl representing each lot with three additional members chosen from the entire school at large. The work that is being accomplished this year is partly due to the efforts of a new committee system. Each commit tee consists of two council members, three faculty members, and one class representative. There are five committees, namely: Social, Health, Citizenship, Community Contact, and Assembly. Each has its special duty. The Chief executive of 1936 is Cy Metzger. His cooperation and good management have been much appreciated by the Council and the entire student body. The vice president, Wanda McCullough, has not had an opportunity as yet to show us what she can do, but we're sure she could take his place. Joe Taylor acts as treasurer, and June Pfenning as secretary. These assistant executives are well worth mentioning as they performed their duties well. W. McCullough M. Bachman J. Pfenning F.

Hibner The Blume film company has for the past few years participated in the National Honor Society, of which a given number of graduating stars are eligible for membership. The first and most important qualification is that one must be in the upper third of his class in scholastic standing during the four years of his attendance. The selection is also based on leadership, character, and service. The Blume film people are proud to announce this year's members who are Carolyn Abraham, Bill Bibler, Dwain Fritz, Paul Lusk, John Ramge, Minnie Roode, Robert Stultz, and Richard Telljohn. At the end of the year there may be a few more members added to the list. The following members of the junior class have been awarded membership in the Honor Society for their outstanding and cooperative work during their three years at Blume High School: Mary Bachman, Helen Jane Lusk, Paul Ruese, and Mildred Varner. Another useful organization is the Commercial Club. It is made up of actors who are studying business only, and they have all proven that they will some day be useful to those of our numerous executives who need assistance. Leona Beckwith has charge, and she is assisted by Wanda McCullough, vice-president, Leola Vorhees, Secretary, and Willie Kantner, Treasurer. This society sponsored one of the most successful parties of the year, and has been active in contributing specimens of various business forms for one of the bimonthly exhibits shown in the music hall.

With Carolyn Abraham starred in the role of editor-in-chief and Richard Telljohn, leading man, as the business-manager, the making of the book progressed rapidly. Miss Blank-enbaker was the director who worked patiently with the cast to make their production a hit. We, the staff, have taken scenes of the various types of school life and clubs and have developed them in this book. It is our sincere wish that the Retrospect will meet with the approval of our fans. The activities of the Blume movie colony are put in print in the Lantern under the leadership of Miss Postle and Paul Ruese. Composed of ambitious Juniors and class reporters, this staff turns out a weekly production of interest, amusement, and benefit. Much work goes on behind the scenes to make this a success. The staff has also shown that it has ability in other lines by giving a party for the students with the aid of the Booster Club. The vote is unanimous, Lantern staff, in giving you a hand for the fine work you have accomplished in 1935-36. Girl Reserves Hi-Y p. Shappell N. J. Strobel V. Metzger J. Pfenning L. Beckwith A.

Lanning Mr. Bush With Pera Shappell as their leading lady, the Girl Reserves have done commendable work this year. In the supporting cast were June Pfenning, vice-president; Leatha Hoopingarner, secretary; Carolyn Abraham, treasurer; Doris Cannon, songstress; Mary Schuler, and Zenith Hodges. The membership has been considerably limited this year; but, with Miss Chenoweth as their capable new director, the girls have accomplished much. A Christmas project was the collecting of toys and baskets of fruit which were distributed by the American Legion. A big scene was the annual fete of G. R. and Hi-Y Studios in the B. H. S. gymnasium. During the past year on the Hi-Y lot, there were scenes of special value and interest. These shots emphasized the theme on the development of character. Mr. Bush and John Ramge, director and leading man, were a fortunate asset to the club. They, in turn, had the advantage of being supported by many able undermen. Many new members filled the vacancies made by last year's graduation. Delegates to the state conference and capable speakers benefited the club greatly. In league with the G. R. the club sponsored a party and a joint meeting. Without a doubt, the productions of the Hi-Y may be rated very high. Sound Effect Lyrics H. Nesbitt R. Jones B. Stinebaugh D. Fritz K. Metzger W.

Stimmel This year the band was provided with smart new costumes in our school colors by a very generous legacy from the late Miss Grace Shauber. They were also blessed by a new director, Mr. Joseph DuPere. Mr. DuPere has been very successful in previous productions at other studios. Our band has improved very much in the many weeks of constant practice and endeavor. Its cast has been added to until this year we have the best band in the history of the school. In addition to many marches our new director has led us through many difficult and classical scenes. The band has also bought three new Sousa-Phones which are manned by grade school pupils. Under the able direction of Mr. Steiner the orchestra has made progress even though its cast was reduced by the graduation of many of its leading stars. It has played at several entertainments in the last year. The shooting of the scenes has taken place twice a week instead of the one weekly rehearsal of previous years. When practicing special occasions the grade orchestra practiced with the regular cast and then lovely music indeed was the result. The orchestra is the one production in which those pupils who have real musical talent, but who cannot play in the band, may give vent to their talent. J. Pfenning B. Stultz P. Shappell J. Shaw M.

Beard N. J. Strobel On the eves of April 23 and 24, the graduating class drew a closing curtain on acting. This gala premier nighf was the Class Play which was presented on our casting lot stage. Since this was the last chance the Seniors would have to break into the acting world, each did his utmost to cooperate and made it a great success. With Mrs. Soules as chief director and members of the cast portraying characters of 1820 and 1850, the play was highly rated. The name, The House of The Seven Gables, is that undying tale of witchcraft and curses by Nathaniel Hawthorne. This year the voice artists have been organized under different auspices than before. Though Mr. Steiner still remains head director, Helen Jane Lusk, president, and Dwain Fritz, property manager, aided him. Gowns and costumes were provided for a better effect and a series of appearances were given at other schools. The Acapella Choir was separated into a boys' and a girls' glee club which participated in a contest at Bluffton in April. A radio broadcast is anticipated for the end of May, and with this final accomplishment, the members of the Choir will have done much to deserve the credit due them. THE LOVE BUG Have you ever been bit by a bug Yet it didn't hurt you at all? In fact, it made your heart jump and jump, And you took what we call a fall . You have felt the effects of this queer little bug And it's left you all a quiver, You can't see it fly with your naked eye Yet it's there to tickle your gizzard. Have you ever been bit by this love bug That's left you floating on air Can't eat, can't sleep, can't think, can't see And don't have a worry or care? Take warning, now, young ladies and gents Who so far have passed its way, This little bug is quite a pest And It's going to get you some day. Cupid’s Cast GRIDIRON GIGOLOS As the first cry of football came from the call board, the pigskin players trooped to the gridiron set. They donned their new, red-striped pants and polished up their cleats for the initial work-out with M. A. Oliphant, the new athletic director. Passing . . . kicking . . . running ... all put a load on the liniment supply the first week. Then came plays and finally, scrimmage. What were the prospects? 100%. Spirit ran high during the entire season. Games were dedicated to the businessmen and to the dads. Season ticket sales kept a high attendance at every game. Weather on the set was the chief bugaboo of the season. The heavy, hard-charging team was severely hampered by muddy fields which slowed down the offensive attack of the swift backfield runners. More than once, the Redskins, who repeatedly outplayed the opponent, were deprived of victory because of their inability to adapt themselves to the adverse conditions. The Senior class was well represented in the regular lineup. There were Gibbs and Elsass at tackle positions, Gutman at guard, and Cornell, Metzger, Shaw, Mesarvey, and Link in the backfield. H.

Harshbarger HARDWOOD HEROES Scarcely had the practice schedules for football been erased from the board when up went the cry of basketball. The Redskins began the season with a scant two weeks of practice and developed fast after that. Those two weeks were weeks of re-training muscles for the majority of the court athletes had been playing on the grid-iron and, consequently, had to undergo a change. The Redskins were forced to play a tough schedule which frequently called for games on consecutive nights. It was this factor that held the team back from a better showing. After a victorious drive at the end of the season, the team won the lead position in the Midwest League. Blume High had been trailing in third place, then up to a tie for second, and finally, the top. They also entered the state tournament, but unfortunately came back, defeated, after the first game. Mention should be made of Metzger and Cornell who represented the senior class in basktball as well as in football. E. Cornell R. Kennedy A. Bailev D. Metzger W. Kantner Coach Oliphant O.

Miller FANS • • • A new organization was formed in Blume High this year, the Booster Club. With Mr. Simpson, our principal, and Mr. Taylor, our athletic sponsor, as faculty advisors, the pupils holding season tickets or directly assisting our athletic situation were members forming the Blume High Booster Club. After adopting a constitution and electing the officers, the organization was officially begun. It is the duty of each participant to promote or enforce all undertakings of the school, especially the athletic association. In our first year we have worked with the school on the school bond issues and in connection with ticket selling and cleaning up of our school. The members of this Club only wish they could have done more toward making Blume High a belter school.
