■CT We RESUME li . il Volume III Number 1 Published by Class of Twenty-Four Bradford High School Bradford, Ohio THE RESUME Centralization What’s wrong with the little red school house Which stands by the side of the pike; Where our parents so often assembled To count and to read and to write? Its glass is punched in and its door knobs Are rusted with years of neglect The organ which stood by the cupboard By mice has been ruined and wrecked. Oh, shame on a nation so careless I hear some old man sadly say The new fangled ideas of now days Can not bring us more than dismay. But we who’ve had both in our learning Can say with a quite different air The large well equipped school for now days Is here to prevent our despair. ELLEN LAUGHMAN. 2 THE RESUME 9 ■ THE RESUME A. C.

We shall all be separated and perhaps never meet again. Some shall go one place and some another but we hope that all will become good citizens. We first started in as Freshmen strong. Of course we were green or the faculty would not have placed us where they did. However green things grow and we did too. Some decided to wade through Latin and Caesar while the rest took commercial arithmetic and geography. We got along very nicely that year and in the spring of 1921 after getting our grade cards we found the word Sophomore written on them. That year our class came down to 37. Some of the boys took Manual Training and some of the girls took Hygiene while the rest of us rode thru Caesar but not on ponies. Oh! No. We were too good for that. February 22, 1922, was an eventful day when Mr. Snyder announced the birth of a ten pound baby girl at his home. Our Sophomore girl’s basket ball team won the championship that year in the interscholastic games. We had several parties and many good times but it was not until the third year that the fun began. Now that year we dwindled down to 31. We thought we were almost it because we were sent over to the Commercial Room with the Seniors. Some decided to take a Commercial Course while the rest of us tried a College Preparatory Course. In the fall we had a rabbit supper at Esther Deeter’s and did justice to the rabbits which were nine. We elected Carl Shackinger Class President. On the 17th of March we had a St. Patrick's and Kid party at Ellen Laughman’s. Then in the Spring came the Junior Play and Reception. It was a still more eventful day when we came to school one day last spring and found that we should start in as Seniors in the fall. This year has been the shortest and best of all because it is the last. We met early and organized our class, electing Esther Deeter, President and Millard Snyder, Secretary. Then we had another meeting and elected an Annual Staff. The French Class decided to organize, so one afternoon we stopped long enough to do so. It was named “Le Cercle Francais. Also the Commercial Class met and organized, “The Rotary Club.” Everyone knows that the rabbit law comes in November 15, and not to be out done by the Juniors we had a rabbit supper in the High School Building, November 24. Every one had a very good time. I must not forget to mention that we had one little boy in the class by the name of Jack I llery, and a girl who very seldom talked by the name of Llora Katherman. We had many good times with little Margaret Bashore and big Susie Carter and Clyde Brant. We had a certain ring in our class who were always talking. This ring was composed of Margaret Loxley, Wilma Loxley, Gertrude Deeter, Frances Wiekert, Herbert Hill and Millard Snyder. If anything came up in Physic’s Class we did not understand Guy Shear could always explain it by means of the Strand Theater. When we wished to know the life of a certain author in American Literature we never failed to ask Therin Fahnestock. We were never able to get any giggles out of Margaret Keogh. During our four years we had but one complete change of teachers with the exception of Mr. Snyder. He was our old stand by and to know him was to like him. We liked the teachers we had the first three years very much but wre were equally satisfied this year with our new teachers. Our Superintendent has labored very earnestly in our behalf and what ever success attend us in later life must be attributed in part to the earnest labor of all of them. B.

Now this dear class of Seniors, This class of ’24, Gave all their time to their studies So they could ask for nothing more. We remember the days we were Freshman, We remember those days gone by, And we hope we have left inspiration To the Freshman who come by and by. We remember the travels of Caesar, History, English and Geometry too; And we trust the teachers remember When we were the Sophomore crew. Then we were noble Juniors, The Juniors of yesterday, Who left behind them in parting The faculty we adore. We have an English teacher Whose name is Dolores Black; And when to English class we go In fun she does not lack. The Superintendent Saunders And Mr. Snyder, too, Are two of the most capable teachers Bradford high school ever knew. Miss Yager and Miss Casey And Mr. Hukill, too, Are three of the wisest teachers Our high school ever drew. Miss Eaton and Miss Westfall Are two of the faculty crew And we hope they will be with us Another year or two. And now we come to coach Woodward, To whom much honor is due; For he is helping the high school To win high honor too. Good bye to the loyal Freshman, Good bye to the Sophomore crew, Good bye to the noble Juniors, We Seniors are leaving you. Good bye to the football fellows, Good bye to the basket ball crew, And we hope you will remember That we were always true blue. Good bye to the dear old High School, Good bye to those we adore, We hope that they’ll not forget The Class of ’24. 26 ■ THE RESUME 27 OO 04 President. Vice-President Secretary.

No one knows except those who have gone through the mill what agonies we suffered the first few days of school. We all imagined that everyone was against us and trying to push us down, but we soon found out that they were all there ready and willing to help us, so we held up our heads and came through with flying colors. Lois Shear called a class meeting for the purpose of electing officers. Gordon Yount was chosen as the President, Naomi Erisman, Treasurer, and Paul Bittikofer as Secretary. Did we have a party? Well I guess, and we didn’t have to have it in the afternoon either but in the evening like the most grown-up boys and girls. After Santa Claus had paid us his annual visit we moved out to the new High School building where we continued to distinguish ourselves. We had reason to be proud of Imogene Kress, Glenn Buechley, and Frances Miller, because they were the “A” students. We closed our Freshman year with an enrollment of fifty-two, eight of the students having dropped out because they could not master their Algebra, Latin, Biology and English. l'he next year we felt much more at home in our large Assembly room. ()ur class President was (denn Buechley. All the other officers were held as very unimportant in our minds especially the Treasurer whom we all shunned as much as possible. During this year we were inclined to be stuck up but why shouldn’t we have been when we had one girl on the Giris’ High School Basket Ball Team and five boys on the Boy’s Team. We also had three “A” students they were, Frances Miller, Glenn Bueckly, and Pauline Marlin. We had an Easter party at the home of Dorothea Livingston this being the only social event of the year. Last September we took our places in the Commercial Room which we use for our Assembly. Lois Shear again holds the title of class President, while Louise Hill is Secretary and Marjorie Pugh is Treasurer. W e had a picnic in October which was enjoyed very much and which preceeded all other social events of the year. And now as we try to bear the name of “ Honorable Juniors” we will so conduct ourselves that all people will have a good word for us. Other classmen will never regret if they follow in our footsteps because we will always be true to our own Bradford High School. 30 PAULINE MARLIN, ’25.

The first days were discouraging, but we lived through them. After several weeks, having become accustomed to the new laws and habits, we organized. We elected the following officers: President, Dale Berkebile; Vice-President, Luther Routson; Secretary, Freida Hershey, and Treasurer, 1 helma Grise. We chose scarlet and grey as our class colors, the American Beauty Rose as our flower, and “We are Third’’ as our motto. Miss Thompson was chosen our Advisor. Our Class was well represented in all activities and organizations. At the end of the term, when we received our grade cards, most of us took on an air of deep superiority, but others were very dejected in spirits. No wonder! The next fall, we met again, and as usual we had new teachers. We elected Richard Dively as Class President, and settled down to study. The first semester twenty-seven per cent of us were on the honor roll. Among our number were several athletes. Karl Warren, Dick Dively and Robert Kiddy played on the Foot Ball Team. Iva Kiehl played on the Girl’s Basket Ball Team. We have made a good standing in all activities the first two years, and intend to keep up our record the rest of the way through High School. 34 =■ THE RESUME ■.- ■ � reshmen 35 FRESHMAN CLASS ■ — - --U THE resume —■ Freshman Class OFFICERS Mary La Rue Hess Maxine Stocker Alberta Eller Mr. Woodward Old Rose and Cream Marelessa Rose Motto: “We Can Because We Know We Can.” CLASS ROLL Leona Apple Emma Kiehl Harry Bangs Catherine Kisner Leroy Bashore Robert Leverdy Marion Brown Ruby Laughman John Brumbaugh Donald Looker Goldie Bussinger Harold Looker Mary Cain Raymond Looker Lawson Conway Bernard Lyons Nondas Cottrel Jasper Miller Oliver Davis Lita McLaughlin Ruth Derr Chlorine McCool Treva I )eWeese Taylor Myers Ralph Dill Edward Poling Don Draher Delbert Scott Alberta Eller Norman Selby Thelma Foutz Arthur Smith Gerald Gibbony Sheri Smith Herbert Gephart James Stichter l'aie Hahn Maxine Stocker Ralph Hartle Frances Teeter Mary La Rue Hess Thelma Tisor Carl Hill William Tuttle Naomi Hill Bernard Warner Glenda Hockett Lawson Warner Edward Hughes Hazel Warner Florence Keller Max Weaver Clarence Keihl Opal Yates Zelmer Keeler Helen Zimmerman 37 President Secretary Treasurer Class Advisor Class Colors Class Flower ■ T HE RESUME Freshman ( lass History WHEN this class of sixty green Freshman, but not as much turned green as supposed to be, entered the new High School building on Sept. 10, 1924, very nervous and down hearted as we thot we were being stared at by eyes from all sides. Our minds were conscious of nothing only to gel a place to sit as we were too weak to stand any longei. hen we found places to sit we were only too glad to rest. When the bell rang we all seemed to be in an uproar, “What arc we to do?” “Where are we to go?” came the remarks from several green freshies. When we had quieted down Mr. Snyder came in with the new teachers. Just to worry us poor Freshman more he would not tell us what each one taught. But told us we would find out soon enough. We were then left in the large ghostly assembly which seemed quieter than a grave yard with Miss Yager and Mr. Woodward watching over us. We were much more surprised than ever when they gave us small pieces of white paper. What was coming now was our only fear. We thought we were getting off pretty fine only having four studies, but we soon found out what the teachers taught and that the subjects were not easy. A few weeks after our wrecked nerves had a chance to rest we were organized by the help of Miss Yager. It took us some time to get started, but when we did get a start everything went off just fine as it always does for green Freshmen. Well our first meeting was the election of officers. The officers elected were, Mary La Rue Hess, President, Maxine Stocker, Secretary, Alberta Eller, Treasurer, and Mr. Woodward class adviser. We chose for our class colors old rose and cream and our class flower the marelessa rose. Our motto which is as good as it's words, “We can because we think we can.” We also know a little bit about music as most of our girls turn out in the Glee Club and the boys also can make the room ring. Our Freshman boys and girls are also good in sports and athletics. Thelma Tisor and Bernard Lyons are on the High School Teams and I tell you there are hard games fought when any one plays against the Freshman. We were also as big as the rest when we were told that we could have a Hallow’een party. At that time October 30, 1923, was a very enjoyous time in the country. 1 am sure that the thirteen sandwiches James Stichter ate digested very well. Well, if we are green we will not do like most green things do, grow so far and die, but we will keep on growing and growing so that the class of '21 will be the very best that ever left the doors of B. H. S. 38 G. H„ '27. ■— ■ THE RESUME ■ ■ Senior Party ABOUT half of the Seniors went out to the home of Ellen Laughman, March 15, 1924, for a good time. Those that were there certainly had a good time. We had decided to walk out but it was rather chilly so Therin Fahnestock and Mr. Hukill took us out in their cars. The fun was started by playing “ Fortune Telling Bottle and the Truth the Whole Truth and Nothing but the Truth”. Mr. Hukill said that he loved Mary Jones, Ralph Marker firmly believes that he is in love with Miss Casey and Miss Yager loves everybody. After refreshments were served which were a sandwich, cake and oranges, we played “poor pussy”. But I guess everyone was too sleepy to laugh so we decided that it was time to go home. We left thanking Ellen for the fine time we had enjoyed. Junior Party IT was Halloween and the call of the witches led the Juniors to Neva Monroe's. They came one by one, some dressed as clowns,some as ghosts, and others as dairies till nearly everyone was present. About eight o’clock there came silently down the street and into the house a very tall looking ghost. It kept the crowd busy for over a half hour trying to guess who it was. At last they discovered it to be Glenn Buechly. After all had been identified they went out of doors where they amused themselves by playing games such as hide and go seek, ten little Indians, and two behind two. At ten o'clock they journeyed back in the house and were served the refreshments, which consisted of doughnuts and cider. About one half hour later they found “Ikey” Yount sitting in a corner feeding Lois Shear doughnuts. Not because he wanted to but because the six glasses of cider had made him see double and the doughnuts were just naturally going to Lois’s mouth. From then on they played wink-em, and other such thrilling games. About 12 o’clock the girls started for home but the faithful little lads caught them and put them in the machines and homeward they sped. 39 LOUISE HILL, Jr. ’23, ’24. THE RESUME 40 TIIE RESUME Sophomore Class Party THE Sophomore Class met at the home of Leslie Seas, the Friday night be fore Hallow’een, for the purpose of having a masquerade party. There was a goodly number of the members present, most of which came dressed in Hallow’een fashion. As each one passed into the house a number was pinned upon him. A prize was offered to the person being dressed most attractively. Each member voted for the number he considered most attractive. Frieda Hershey received the most votes and was awarded a box of home made candy. The remainder of the evening was spent playing various games. Refreshments were served just before going home, consisting of sandwiches, cakes, pickles and apples. Each one thanked Leslie for the pleasure of meeting at his home and for the enjoyment of the evening. ALICE SH ELLABARGER. Freshman Party THE Freshman Party was at Miss Thelma Tisor’s on October 29. We all met at the central school building at 6:30 o’clock. As it was nearing Hollow’een we dressed up in our Hallow’een suits. Some of the girls and boys who were at the party were, Maxine Stocker, Alberta Eller, Treva DeWeese, Chlorine McCool, Goldie Bussinger, Leona Apple, Mary La Rue Hess, Glenda Hockett, Thelma Foutz, Nondas Cottrell, Mary Cain, Lita McLaughlin, illiam Tuttle, Edward Poling, Norman Selby, James Stichter, Bernard Lyons and several others. Miss Casey was the only teacher present. Most of 11s walked out to Tisor’s from the school building. We had a jolly time parading down through town with our masks on. We arrived at Tisor’s about 7:30. e played, “ 1 wo Behind Two”,“Nick and Dummy,” “Tag” and “Pleased or Displeased . After we played these games we went into the house to eat our lunch. We had sandwiches, and all kinds of fruit. The biggest joke was that Miss C asey lost her shoe coming home. The party broke up about 10:00 and we all went home. 41 THE RESUME Senior ('lass Reception ON Monday evening, May 19, 1923, the Junior Class of Bradford High School very beautifully entertained the Senior Class of ’23. We shall never forget that wonderful evening, spent in social activities very appropriately planned for the occasion. When we arrived at the High School Building we were ushered into a reception hall and hence to a very beautifully decorated social room. This room was decorated with the '23 and ’24 class colors, red and white, and purple and gold, the room also being furnished more attractively than any living room could be, having piano, victrola, comfortable chairs, divans, in fact everything to make us comfortable. There we were entertained with a short comedy play and many interesting games. At the proper hour we were ushered to the Banquet Hall. This room is beyond our description. The Seniors table was decorated with the class colors. Candle sticks were the foundation for the most beautifully constructed bridge work, made of crepe paper. The lights were also very beautifully decorated due to the wonderful artistic taste of the class of ’24. The banquet consisting of all the best prepared food we could desire. 1 wo large baskets of red and white roses graced our table and at an unexpected moment these roses wrere presented to us. We also received little favors and each Senior wras given a little trinket with which to remember our last banquet with the Class of ’24. The Class of ’23 thanks the Class of ’24 for the wonderful entertainment and banquet given us in our last days at “dear old B. H. S.” Excuse this humbly WTitten piece, “dear Class of ’24” for the evening of enjoyment was beyond our power to express. 42 OPAL BOWERSOX, '23. mm mm SneiK LET'S EK Stranded ■yd§e- i C K THE RESUME ■■ =■ 43 TIIE RLSUM e Varsity “B” Jack Ullery....

We organized January 16, 1924, for the purpose of promoting cleaner athletics in B. H. S. and to encourage the students to work harder in sports. Since we have been organized but a few weeks we have made little progress, already a better attitude has been noticed from each member of basketball and baseball teams. Officers for next year will be elected at our May meeting which will be preceeded by a banquet for members of the club. JUD. PAUL, ’25. 44 ■ THE RESUME Athletic Organization ON October 3, 1923, the High School and Faculty members assembled for the purpose of organizing an Ahtletic Association. It was moved and seconded that both the girls and boys association should be organized together this year, as it would be better for both organizations. Nominations were then made for President, Secretary, Treasurer, Faculty Manager and Student Manager. The following persons were elected: President.......................................... John Wenrick Secretary ............................................. jack Ullery Treasurer .......................................... Esther Deeter Student Manager.... John Sipple Faculty Manager......................................Mr. Woodward Football Banquet A BANQUET in honor of the B. H. S. Football team was given by the High School Faculty on the evening of December 18, at the High School building. Oysters, chile con carne, ice cream and cakes were served on the menu. After the feed was over speeches were made by each of the men teachers present and by members of the varsity. The general opinion of all the speakers was that Bradford had had a very successful season this year, but they figure on a far better one next year. However, the two Seniors, Ullery and Wenrick will be greatly missed by the team. Each man sends out his warning to Varsailles, Gettysburg and all the rest for next year. The next thing on the program was to elect the captain for ’24 and ’25. Chester McCune was the favorite and was elected to lead the team with 11 to 20 votes. A short speech was then given by Chester McCune in which he thanked his team for the honor just given him. He also said that he hoped to fill his position as well as Ullery had this season. Last but not least was the presentation of a “B” to fifteen men who had played the majority of the period. After this Ullery led a cheer for the bunch and they departed. Others present besides the “Letter” men and teachers were: Hartle, Stichter, Yount, Shively, and Deeter. 45 THE RESUME Girls’ Glee Club THE Girls’ Glee Club was about the first organization in the High School for this school year. After we were introduced to our new music teacher for this year, Miss Westfall, we organized under her leadership, which we find very commendable.

We decided to meet every twq weeks at the homes of the members. We were also requested to speak as much French as possible at the meetings. We call the Club “La C'ercle Francais” and our motto is “ Bon Amis”. We elected: Beatrice McLaughlin President Guy Shear Secretary Llora Katherman Pianist We did not elect any treasurer having no need for one at the present time. The first meeting was to be held at the home of Llora K. It was to be a Hollow'een party and French Club combined.

In cooking classes they make different kinds of desserts and salads. If some of the girls progress as well as they have been in the future, they may become expert seamstresses and cooks. Cafeteria The freshman and Senior Girls both serve lunch to the pupils at noon, Cafeteria style. These pupils who live far from school are very glad to patronize the Girls and get a warm lunch. The money that is received is used for equipment for Domestic Science Room. 50 TIIE RESUME � High School Orchestra AN Orchestra was organized in the High School by Mr. Woodward with the help of Mr. Saunders. They play for chapel every Wednesday morning, and a few times in public. Those that take part in the orchestra are: Mr. Woodward ...Cornet J ames Teeter Violin Luther Routson. Cornet Kermit Froebe Saxaphone Robert Ready ... .Clarinet Robert Liddy Saxaphone Mr. Saunders Violin John Wen rick Saxaphone Lee Smith Violin Marian Froebe Piano Max Weaver Violin Roy Carter Drums 51 ■ —THE RESUME ■- --u Le Crecle Francais IT was on Halloween when our first French Club met, and my but we did have fun. We were collected out at Paul’s corner and Esther came along in her Cadillac and all ten of us piled in. It was raining; and then to top it all ofif we had to follow a twine string which wound around every tree in Katherman’s yard. It led us to a window. All was dark within but nevertheless we crawled thru the window and mysteriously seated ourselves in the now dimly lighted room. As we were masked we had to be identified. Following this were games, such as tossing a ball thru a pumpkin face’s eye and walking on eggs and trying to talk French. At ten-thirty the dining room doors were thrown open and we were ushered thither. How beautifully everything was decorated, in black and orange and cat’s an’ owls an’ everything After the delicious refreshments we found it was time to return thru the window and creep back into Esther’s faithful which wasn’t so faithful until after priming in the rain. Such times as this one will never be forgotten by the Class of ’24. Commercial Class Rabbit Supper THE Senior Commercial Class had a rabbit supper at Marian Froebe’s house Wednesday evening, November 21. The Class did justice to eight rabbits and Mr. Hukill sure did his share of eating. Elmer Bolton and Therin Fahnestock seemed to think salted coffee was good and Therin also liked baked beans for he emptied the dish the first thing. After we were all filled to the brim we had a meeting, electing Margaret Loxley, President and Marian Froebe, Secretary and Treasurer. The Junior Rabbit Feed AND it came to pass that on or about November 13, in the year of our Lord Nineteen Hundred and Twenty-three, all of the merry Juniors congregated in the large and spacious cafeteria of Bradford High School for a grand and glorious feast. A feast of rabbit and other delicacies such as mashed potatoes with gravy, cream peas, cranberry sauce, mince pie, and apple cidar. About seven o’clock the feast was announced ready for our sharpened appetilies. We were scattered in numerous groups in different parts of the building when the cooking committee “broadcasted their announcement, and you can imagine how much we welcomed this glorious news, for we had not eaten anything since luncheon. We gathered around the loaded tables, rather noisily we must confess. Mr. Snyder returned Thanks after which we all “fell to” and did ourselves ample justice to the delicious eats. All those who were present can faithfully affirm that we fairly made gluttons of ourselves. We remained at the tables about an hour, spending most of the time telling stories. Most of which were told by the boys who were so unlucky as to miss a shot at an escaping cottontail. Of course some fabulous excuse would be invented pertaining to the cause of the escape of Brier Rabbit. After every one had satisfied his or her appetite to the fullest extent, especially on rabbit, and the cooking committee had cleared all evidence of the quite recent feast, we again gathered in the lunch room to pass the remainder of the evening in games. The presence of the faculty made the games especially enjoyable. About eleven o'clock someone put a damper upon our frolicsome spirit by going to the cloak room with the intention of obtaining wraps in preparation to go home. Several followed suit, and finally all decided that the time has come for adjournment. And so it came to pass that our evening of “eat, drink, and be merry” came to a close with merry hearts and parting “good nights.” 52 LESTER ROUTSON, ’25. THE RESUME FOOTBALL TEAM TIIE RESUME Football Season THE work of the Football team during the past season was of satisfying results not only in the number of games won but the teaching of the football man fighting spirit and fair play. This is only the third year of football at B. H. S. and in a few years it will have reached its zenith to be kept there by loyal B. H. S. fighters. The team showed splendid spirit and kept up their slogan “I will not be denied”.

'the squad was soon drilling for the first game with West Milton. SEPTEMBER 28. B. H. S.—0 West Milton—6 Bradford met West Milton and came out on the tail end of the score of 6 to 0. It was a hard fought battle and several times the B. H. S. warriors pushed the ball over West Milton's goal line but to be called back by referee Fish. Revenge in '25. OCTOBER 5. B. H. S.—33 St. Marys—6 Bradford romped away with a victory over St. Marys by a tune of 33 to 6. I he game was featured by a sensational run for a touch down by Capt. Ullery. Wenrick and Sipple did the bulk of the ball carrying while “Bullet” McCune and Jud Paul looked best on the defense. OCTOBER 12. B. II. S.—0 Greenville—27 B. H. S. lost a hard fought battle to Greenville by a scroe of 27 to 0. Greenville made 21 of their points in the last quarter showing that only weight held Bradford down. Ullery and McCune did well on the defense while Myers did some fine ball carrying. Wenrick obtained a wrenched ankle the last part of the game. 55 Football Season—Continued % OCTOBER 19. B. H. S.—7 Arcanum—0 Bradford trimmed Arcanum High School by a score of 7 to 0 in a hard fought battle. The whole line played a good defensive game while the back-field made the necessary yardage. OCTOBER 26. B. H. S.—12 Versailles—12 Versailles held to a tie and only in the last minute of play succeeded in getting the touch down that evened up the score. Warren and Froebe did some fine work. Warren received injuries at this game that put him out for the rest of the season. Better luck next time, Warren. NOVEMBER 2. B. H. S.—7 Gettysburg —0 B. H. S. evened up the defeat given them by Gettysburg by a score of 7 to 0. The game was a hard fought one throughout. Ullery our roving center sure let the Gettysburg backs know that they could not get thru his place. Myers showed up good in the back-field. NOVEMBER 10. B. H. S.—12 Roosevelt—0 Bradford romped away with a victory by defeating Roosevelt Hi by a score of 12 to 0. Wenrick did some fine ball carrying while Ullerv, Lyons, and Froebe looked well on the defense. 56 Football Season—Continued Gettysburg came down with blood in her eyes for that defeat handed them on November 2, but were sadly disappointed by a worse score of 10 to 0. Bradford outclassed them in every department of the game. Sipple, Paul, Ullery and Dively did fine work. NOVEMBER 23. B. H. S.—0 Versailles—6 1 his was the closing of the 1923 Foot-ball season. The jinx followed us to this game and when a touchdown was possible we were held back from it by an inch. Then a Versailles back got a clear field and ran for a touch-down. This was the last game for (’apt. Ullery and Wenrick. The prospects for next year are very bright, losing only three letter men the team should have a winning season. Experience will be a telling factor. It is well here to mention the fine work of the scrubs. If it were not for the scrubs fine spirit anti grit B. H. S. would not have had the fine team it had. Our hat's off to you, scrubs. “I will not be denied”. 57 58 THE RESUME Our Departing Heroes JA( K UI.LKRY—Captain Jack was the captain of our blood thirsty football team. He was the man that was here, there and everywhere on the line; a regular Chinese puzzle for the opposing backs. A regular stone wall, spilling the plays that came his way with blood thirsty revenge. Ullery played a good clean game and we sure are sorry you can’t be with us next year Jack. JOHN E. WENRICK Johnny was the football preformer at quarterback. He was right there at calling the signals and directing plays. He was one of the main cogs in the football machine this year of B. H. S. A steady man on offense and a stellar performer on defense. Johnny leaves with a reputation as a clean and good football player. 59 Basketball Squad 1923-24 Bernard Lyons......................................................

H. S. The team showed fighting spirit all through the season and if we did lose some of our games it was with a spirit of true sportsmanship. The team has a good, clean sportsmanlike attitude and when the score was against them they fought the hardest showing “Class, here’s to you team of ’24. BKN WOODWARD—Coach This was Mr. Woodward’s first year with us and inside of three weeks he had us ready for our first game. Mr. Woodward is a graduate of La Crosse Normal, Wisconson. Mr.Woodward ably coached the team and he deserves all the credit that can be given to him for his work for B. H. S. Good luck, Mr. Woodward. KERM IT FR()EBE—Guard Fritz made the team by his grit and wonderful fighting spirit. Fritz is with us again next year and it’s sure he will give all he has for B. H. S. Stick to ’em Fro'ebe. JOHN SIPPLE—Guard Sipple the hardest fighting guard in seven counties came to the front this year as a real basket ball player. You can t keep a good man down is John’s idea. Another year will see John at his best. Good luck John. BERNARD, LYONS—Forward Bern sure played the game this year being the high point man of the year. This is Bern's first year and with three more years ahead of him he is sure to show up good. Keep up the fight and spirit Bern. RICHARDDIVEI .Y—Fo rw a r I Dick plays a clean last game and with two years ahead of him promises him a great basketball future. Dick has the fight and a spirit that goes fora good basketball player. Fight, Dick. EARL WARREN—Forward Mick lives up to his reputation as the chief paraphernalia forgetter in the U. S. Mick plays a bang up game and with two more years ahead of him promises to make a name for himself in B. H. S. Mick did not get with us at the first of the season because of a serious operation, but when he came back he showed the fight and spirit that won him a berth on the squad. 62 ■ THE RESUME Our Departing Heroes HAROLD CLARY—Captain ( lary lias a good basket eye and never fails to ring up some basket for B. H. S. Clary has the hard fighting spirit that it takes in a man to make a good player when the odds are against him. Hank makes up for his slimness by his length and he sure uses that to a good advantage against opposing centers. Luck to you, Hank. JOHN WLNRICK—Ft rward Johnny’s loss next year will be missed in more than one way. He was always ready to fill the shoes of any forward with equal ability and could be depended upon for steady and clever work on the floor. 63 ■ TIIE RESUME ■ B. II. S.

The Freshmen boys won the boy’s tournament from the Senior boys in a thrilling battle by a score of 11 to 8. The Freshmen team consisted of : Bernard Lyons, Bus Myers, William Tuttle, Harold Looker, Ralph Hartle. 64 Baseball ALTHOUGH we played but one game of baseball which was against Versailles we showed the opponents a few points of the game. We outclassed them in every way and was not threatened once through the game. We can always count on a victory when we play Versailles, although they have about as large a school as Bradford, but they do not have the athletic ability that we possess. B. H. S. have always found them to be weak in the line of sports. They are improving a little as they become experienced and we hope that some time they will be able to give us a little opposition.

We felt as though we would be successful and by this we worked all the harder. There were 11 hard games to be fought. When the first game came we were little excited but after that we were all right again. We fought hard and only lost 4 games out of 11. In these we were not beaten by a score of more than three points. But we have beaten by a score of 20 points. After our success this year five of our players are graduating. We five are leaving our best to old B. H. S. and hope they can be successful in the years to come. 67 «: ■ THE RESUME ■ =■ MARGARET BASHORE, Captain, (R. F.) Margaret has been our captain for the last two years, when she started practicing in 1921 she helped the team along as the jumping center. She is big altho she can’t out jump “Hi Clary” she can any other opponent. She also helped in the forward position. This year she is leaving school to fight other games of difficulties. Good luck, Margaret. THELMA TISOR, (L. F.) Thelma has already shown her ability to play forward for the next three years for she is but a Freshman. She is small but strong and in the games she surely makes use of it. With her the next three years B. H. S. should not show up on the small end of the score. MARGARET KEOGH, (L. G.) Margaret has guarded on our team for three years. She is fast and holds her opponents to a small score. She is now ready to enlarge her knowledge in Basket Ball and Athletics to show other teams how to play. We wish her a great success. ESTHER DEETER, (R. G.) Esther is Margaret’s partner for playing guard. It is a few baskets their opponents make. Esther handles herself well on the floor and her opponents get few shots at the basket. She has practiced for three years to make the team the last two. This year when Esther graduates we are losing a good student as well as a good basket ball player. MARIAN FROEBE, (S. C.) Marian has played center for all our games but the last three, when with doctor’s orders she quit. Altho by the time the season closed she was ready to play again. We are sorry to lose you Marian. NEVA MONROE, (J. C.) Neva has played in center for the last two years. She will lie here next year yet. We hope she and Thelma can lead the next year’s team to a success. HAZEL PAUL, (S. C.) Hazel was double ready to fill Marian’s place when she had to leave us. She sure showed her mettle in the Pleasant Hill game. She was also ready to fill a guard’s place when necessity called. We hope she can keep up her good tract of work since she is leaving us. IVA KIEHL Iva altho a sub forward was ready when called. She will also be here to play for the next two years. Iva plays a steady game anrl has a good eye for the basket. LOIS SHEAR Lois was our sub for either center or guard. She was already to fight for our team and yell for it. She has helped as the other subs to make our team fit for the fight. MIRIAM DEETER Miriam is the smallest lass on our team but she is not least. When necessary she fills up a place in the center. She is quick to get the ball and holds on to it when she gets it. 08 THE RESUME 69 ■ THE RESUME Track THE Miami County Field Meet was held at Troy Ohio, on May 6, 1923.

Under the capable leadership and management of our Principal, Mrs. McLaughlin we have enjoyed a successful career. Our beginning would have merited little if it had not carried with it the germ of further development. This year has marked a distinct advance in the broadening of our course of study. As for the plans which we have evolved for the future it would be unfair to disclose them now. The scope of each subject has been enlarged to offer an outlet for the various abilities and the response had been gratifying. The excellence of the work done in each department is fair proof of the earnestness of the instructors and the willingness of each pupil to co-operate. In September came fifty-four Seventh Graders from the Central Building to write their names on the honored scrolls of Junior High and magnify it’s fame. They found it no simple task to adjust themselves to new experiences and requirements, but they have been patient and tolerant. I hey have kept the Savings Banner all year, never having surrendered it once to the eighth grade. Such a thrifty class is sure to climb to the top and we are confident that they will be capable of filling the position of leadership iii Junior High next year. Tot) many to chronicle are the deeds of brain and brawn which have marked the shining pathway of the Eighth Graders through our two years of brilliance. We have given evidence of our histrionic ability in semi-monthly literary programs. These programs included recitations, readings, current events, pianologues, vocal and instrumental numbers. In class prophecies written by our classmates we have been pictured as filling every position in life from the President of our nation to the Marshall of Bradford. We shall have to work hard to fulfill all these expectations of us. Questions ranging from such weighty topics as “The Abolishing of Capital Punishment” to “The Comparative Value of a Boy and a Girl in the Home” were skilltully handled in our debates. Many silver tongued orators were discovered among us. We have produced autobiographies which surpass Franklin’s, and essays comparing favorably with Emerson’s. We have been justly proud of our Basket Ball Team. They have given us some real thrills in defeating the Juniors 5 to 4 and the Freshmen 9 to 8. These deeds are not only of masculine glory for who shall forget the noble work of our girls’ team? These determined black-filoomered heroines of the Basket Ball floor were able to hold the Freshman girls to a tie in the brst game and defeat the Juniors by a score of 9 to 5. We are students who support football and faculty with unreserved enthusiasm, who attack laboratory and note-book, basket ball and hikes with equally genuine fervor and zest. Our wholehearted ness is a tonic potent in fall and spring. The results obtained by the Intelligence Tests given us show that we will be a Freshman class the High School can be proud of next year. 75 ■ ■ - =■ THE RESUME ■ -■ Junior High Basketball WHEN the Basket Ball Season opened, December 1st, a group of fine players appeared. The squad consisted of nine players, Shively and Hike, foreards; Deeter, center; Witwer and Bazil, guards, with McLaughlin, Bowersox, Dively and Calbert as substitutes. Deeter was elected captain and Witwer, manager. Only two games were won out of the eight played but that is an enviable record when the opposing teams are considered. We are especially proud of the game with the Junors, January 25th in which the score was 5 to 8 in our favor. The Freshman were downed by us by a score of 9 to 8. Much credit is due to the coaches, Mr. Clary and Tisor. Everett Clary made an outline for each of us to practice by. JUNIOR HIGH ATHLETICS Score Score Dec. 28.

April fool! I came to realize the dreadful fact when I discovered the outrangeous trick that my wife executed at my expense. She put approximately seven ounces of salt in my coffee at breakfast. She tried to convince me it was an accident, but of course I knew better. I controlled my angry passions and quietly admitted it an inexcusable accident or a poor joke if such it may be termed. I have said that April first is a dreadful fact. Well, to some people it is a glorious fact but to me it is dreadful. As far back as I can remember I have been ill used, ridiculed, made sport of, and always put at the receiving end of a practical joke. And all this on April first, understand. I have always regarded the approach of April first with—well, not exactly horror, but something very closely related to it. I hope I have made it clear why I do not possess a very amorous attitude toward April first. On last January first I resolved not to always be on the wrong end of a joke. Last night I renewed my resolution and you have seen the result of my efforts at the breakfast table. I was the fool again. I realized that it was a poor beginning for the day, but I took it as a reminder to be on guard the remainder of the day. I would not be overthrown again in a joke, or argument, or anything else for that matter. My good wife seemed to understand the turmoil to which my mind was subjected. She only smiled blandly—probably hatching up some ingenious trick with which to irritate me. I kept an eye on her and watched my step. But all was vain. After I finished breakfast I adjourned to the living room. Alice soon followed suit. Nothing was said and she quietly took up her mending and began work. I extracted a cigar from my vest pocket and began smoking. She made a motion to put aside her work as if in preparation to rising and then suddenly changed her mind. “Oh, Al, ” she said, “ I forgot to turn off the gas in the kitchen. Your not busy and I wish you would put it out. I just sent the cook to the grocery.” I wasn’t busy—except smoking—and immediately concluded to execute her command. Not thinking anything was out of the ordinary I approached the kitchen. Can you imagine my consternation when I discovered that the fire was not burning? I felt beaten at being fooled so easily. I was struck with a sudden impulse to rush from the house and not return until midnight rather than face my “better half.” However, I slowly returned to her presence and selected a chair opposite that which she was occupying. She looked up innocently. “Alice,” I began, determined to lead the subject of conversation into fields other than that of April fool. “Don’t you think—” Bang! Swish-z-z-z-z. I leaped from my chair as if propelled by an electromotive force. A sudden explosion followed by a huge and continuous volumn of sparks at the further extremity of my cigar was the cause of my sudden rising. I must have resembled Halley’s comet. My wife grinned. I slamed the cigar into the fireplace and turned toward her. “Why did you change that cigar in my vest pocket?” I demanded. She reminded me that it was April first and grinned more that ever. I realized the joke was a harmless one, but being at the receiving end complicated matters. I was deliberately fooled. From my point of view it was downright mean. Again I sat down opposite her, thoroughly determined to introduce a conversation that would carry her mind completely away from the subject of April fool. I was at a loss concerning what subject would be best suited for the occasion. Something requiring considerable thought would be appropriate, 1 decided. “ I suppose you have heard of palmistry?” I remarked interrogatively. “Yes,” she answered, and smiled in her winsome way. “ I had my palm read a few days ago, and the palmist told things so straight that I had him give me a few lessons. I would like very much to read yours if you will consent.” I rose and approached her, but she said it was too much like fortune telling. She flatly refused me the pleasure of reading her palm. “Very well. I’ll try the cook,” I said, quite glad to escape her presence, for a short time at least, and be out of reach of her tricks. The cook had returned from the grocery by this time. I approached Sally rather causally I must confess. I he cook looked up with surprise as her dominions were invaded, and that surprise increased as she learned the subject of my visit. She felt it her duty, however, to hold out her hand as requested, and after a look at her metacarpus I began: “This line here indicates a short life and a violent death. This other line tells me that you will never marry. This other indicates that you—” 78 ■ =■ THE RESUME ■ ' ■ “That’s enough, sir,” she interrupted as she jerked her hand away. “Do you see that line there? Well, that indicates that if you come fooling around this I’ll pack my trunk and leave. Why don’t you go in the alley and read the chicken tracks and find that you are to grow whiskers clear down to your toes? Do you go, or do I go?” “I’ll go,” I answered meekly. I effected an exit from that kitchen with all possible haste. My wife's company was preferable. As I gravitated toward my chair opposite that which Alice occupied I remarked indignantly: “Cooks are an illogical biped closely related to the Anthropoidea.” “A w'hat?” she asked. “An illogical biped,” I repeated wdth considerable stress. A silence of several minutes ensued, during which time Alice kept herself quite busy with her mending. That winning smile w:as still playing about her delicately shaped mouth. “Do you believe in transmigration of souls?” I finally inquired. “No, sir,” she answered rather shortly. Her smile diminished considerably in size. I struck the w'rong chord, and I knew- it. I decided to try another question. “ Perhaps you would be interested in some particular line of medical science. For instance, idiosyncrasy, or batophobia?” I believed I was on the right track at last and was getting her to forget that it was April first. “I will explain the latter first, as I can associate it with a shorter definition. The former will in all probably require an amount of explanation in order to make it clear to you.” I wras anxious to start an interesting conversation. “Batophobia,” 1 defined, “is claimed by some authorities to be slightly related to idiosyncrasy. It simply means fear of high places. I think that applies to you quite well. Idiosyncrasy is, I believe, a branch of metaphysics. Metaphysics, as you know', is the scientific knowledge of mental phenomena. If the word, idiosyncrasy, is candidly interpreted, I believe you will not find it incomprehensible. It is a disease which is bound to be followed by death once it makes an attack. This mode of death does not often accur, indeed, but, when it does occur, it usually attacks individuals wrho are considerably past their prime of live, and generally takes affect in the tension of some mental crisis, or, perhaps, in an access of w'rath. It is interesting to note that when the disease is discovered in a family it is usually found to be a physical predisposition of that family. When I finished this lengthy speech I noticed for the first time that Alice had laid aside her mending and that the smile was entirely eradicated. I knew by this fact that I had succeeded in gaining her attention. “How strange,” she said in almost an inarticulate voice. “There are several other things that I am very much interested in. Although they are widely separated I can not help but give them my divided attention and thought. They are paleontology and philanthropoiogy. ” Here I paused to secure the desired effect upon her, but, alas! I paused too long. “Oh, Al, won’t you please talk about something else? That doesn’t interest me at all,” she burst out. This did not seem to disturb me in the least, for I was accomplishing my purpose. She was forgetting that it wras April first. “Very well,” I answered. “Perhaps you would like to discuss transmigration of souls, even if you do not believe—” “Or the doctrine of predestination and forordination,” she finished for me. “Oh, you are too retroactional!” I exclaimed. “I am, by marriage, head of this household and so I wish you would let me create such subject as I choose for conversational purposes. “You can’t even spell the words you have been preaching about, W'as her comeback. “Why don’t you talk about something sensible, and at least use w'ords that are proper and perceptable? ” _ . “What is it I can’t spell?” I asked rather loudly-considering the fact that she is not in the least deaf. “You might spell ‘batophobia’,” she suggested. “ B-a-t-a-p-h-o-b-i-a. Batophobia.” , “My supposition was correct, You mispelled the word. An ‘o’ comes after ‘t instead of ‘a’.” “What! What!” I exclaimed. “Do you dispute me? Do you spell it wdth an ‘o’ or an ‘a’?” “With an ‘o’ of course.” 79 ■ ■ =■ THE RESUM E This made me rather angry, but I realized I was getting into deep water. I thought it best to irritate the matter in order to have an excuse to leave the house. “Then you are a party to the swindle! 1 have lived in this world for forty-seven years, and it has always been spelled with an ‘a’ by honest people. By what authority do you put an ‘o’ in it?” She started for the Webster’s Dictionary. I concluded the time was ripe for me to command by exit if such was my intention. “ I see 1 can’t enjoy a sensible conversation with you. I’m going to the butcher shop and talk to the butcher,” I said as I rose to go. “It is absolutely impossible to impress anything on your brain through that thick cranium of your’s. I believe you think that Sing Sing is a Chinese lullaby, and Rex Beach a Florida summer resort. I wish I knew how to reduce your egotistical air of superiority and how to teach you to enunciate correctly your intellectual sentimentalities. ” 1 rushed from the house “muy pronto” and gave the door a slam, and named that California town, I think ’twas Yuba-Dam. This was April first and I began to feel a faint impression that I was being worsted, or would be in the immediate future. As I stepped from the porch I met a tramp. I thought it would be quite a joke on him if I could persuade him to permit me to read his palm-especially if he would believe my deductions. After the usual greeting I queried: “Have you ever heard about palmistry?” “I have, sir. It’s the lines in your hands.” “Yes. Do you believe in it?” “I do.” “Ah, you do! Then I’m glad to meet you. Have you ever had your hand read?” “ I have, sir, and not an hour ago. That’s why I came here. I was told that you’d give me a quarter. ” “But that isn’t palmistry.” “The straightest kind, sir. It’s right there in one of the lines that you’d give me two bits and perhaps an old suit of clothes.” “Then they lied to you. I’m not giving quarters to any tramp. I’ve seen you hanging around this street for a year or more.” Then I’ll get nothing from you?” “No, sir.” “Then I’ll tell you another line in my hand. The feller who read it said I'd bump up against the meanest old skinflint in town before my good luck came, and I’ve bumped.” “What! ’ I cried, brandishing my cane. “How dare you insult me? Get out before I completely lose my temper and extract a portion of you epidermis. ” Huh, you big fathead couldn’t even move a flee.” “So you think I can’t move you, eh?” I demanded savagely. “I doubt it.” I lost my temper entirely and brought my cane down on his head with a resounding whack. It was more than I could bear—to be called a disreputable name on April first. I had made a resolution and I acted accordingly. I slowly retraced my steps up the veranda steps and entered the house. Alice saw me come in and she greeted me with her beautiful smile. “ hy, are you back so soon? Did you forget something?” she asked. “Nothing,” I answered disconcertedly. “Has anything happened? Your cane is nearly broken in two!” I looked at my cane and for the first time noticed that it was cracked beyond repair. “Oh, I just bent it in an argument,” I answered by way of explanation, and started for the lounge. I wanted to think. 1 he first thing that popped into my mind was a certain quotation from one of Shakespeare’s plays—Hamlet I believe: “Give every man thy ear, but few thy voice; Take each man’s censure, but reserve thy judgment. ” Billy Shakesphere was correct. I had talked too much and as a punishment I was the ool. realized the dreadful fact with a sickening sensation. I added several amendments to my resolution and I firmly believe that on April first next, I will not be the butt of all merrymaking. 80 H. LESTER ROUTSON. ■ THE RESUME ■ 81 ■ THE RESUME ■= B. H. S.

It was to resemble a large eagle and built so that anyone riding in it wouldn’t have to stop for oil, gas etc., upon taking a long journey. I soon had everything made but the wings and my little brownie friends didn’t seem to know what to use either. But finally one little elf appeared with a thin membraneous material which was as light as a feather yet as strong as iron. He triumphantly told me that if I used that material I could go anywhere in my machine. As you may have supposed I was soon the subject of critics and newspaper men all over the world and everyone laughed at me but being a person possessed of a very strong will I kept on. In 1888 I startled the town of Chicago by sailing over it in my new “buss”. As you can guess every one was excited and said I must be bewitched but I contented myself by turning my “Flying U” (as I had named my new areoplane) upside down in the air a few times and dalling nose downward for a few yards, then sloping gently to the ground. The mayor of the town said he would put me out, that all labor had stopped because of me and the town would go to ruin if it had a holiday once. Then I told him to jump on the fan and I’d take him a ride. At that he got the sheriff and fire department after me so I had to beat it. I stayed in the country for awhile and in ’89 thinking Chicago was treating me worse than I deserved I decided to tour the world. So on July 4, 1889, I jumped into my “Flying U” said “good-bye” to my friends and started out. I opened a valve and was soon in the clouds. I was making excellent time and soon thought I should be in Ohio. I pointed my telescope to the spot where the earth should be and saw a little village far below. I descended and found it to be Bradford, a flourishing little town of one hundred inhabitants. I again ascended and in a few hours I was in New York City where I stopped to get something to eat. While there I became very popular, everyone wanted to take a ride in my extraordinary' machine. In fact a lady offered me 810,000 if I would take her a ride but I told her I had been flying all day and must have some rest before continuing my journey the next morning. Next morning 1 prepared to cross the ocean. I arrived at the other side the next day at noon. I stopped at London where the King entertained me at his palace. He said 1 was more fitted to rule a large nation than he and offered me the throne but I declined saying nothing could keep me from seeing the world. Next day as soon as I could tear myself away from my many friends, I started for China. When I reached there I found the country very peaceful and thought I would rest awhile here. But soon changed my mind because the people did not appeal to me. I came to the sea and there I found the jumping off place. I had been taught that the earth was round but wTas now sure all my honored geography teachers were liars and I am afraid they will be punished for telling innocent little children such untruths because the earth stopped right there at China. I was convinced it was flat because I was so shocked for 86 ■ - - ■ THE RESUME ■- ■ awhile I didn’t know what 1 was doing but suddenly awakened to the fact that I’d better steer up instead of down. I had gone six miles when the air became so rare that 1 had to almost fight for my breath. After traveling another three miles the air was much better and I was surprised to see I was approaching another world. I got my map and saw this planet was Jupiter. Pretty soon I bumped into it not being able to steer very well I was so nervous. And soon a body of armed men appeared (each one not larger than a pencil) and told me I was under arrest for moving the world. I humbly begged their pardons and was finally excused when I told them I was an inhabitant of the so-called round earth. All the people welcomed me and I was shown all over the planet. I found gold and silver there which the people did not know how to use. So the Emperor made me a present of some very productive mines. 1 stayed there a year then decided to go back to earth and show the professors and smart men that I was not so dumb as I looked. I promised to visit Jupiter again and bring presents to the people from the world. I arrived in Chicago in five days and hastened to the mayor and made him call a meeting of all lawyers, dignitaries and professors of the world. At this meeting I set a little man from Jupiter on the window sill as proof for what I said. But still they wouldn’t believe me but 1 told them none were as deaf as those who wouldn’t hear so I built an excursion to my areoplane, and dumped all those hard boiled fellows into it and took them to Jupiter. There they became convinced I was right so 1 came back home and proved the earth to be Hat. I was declared the smartest person living so in 1892 I was elected president of the United States and served two terms. At the end of that time I returned to Jupiter where I remained until the present time. And now in 1924 I have decided to spend my old days in peace and the faithful little people from Jupiter brought to this world gold and built me a mansion which is more beautiful than any palace in the world. I have those people for servants because they have become so attached to me they cannot be persuaded to go back to their home.

John Gilpin Rides in 1924 The modern John Gilpin Of Nineteen twenty-four, Is a little bit different From what he was of yore. One day John’s wife said unto him “Oh John, how nice ’twould be For us to have a holiday On our anniversary. “ For twenty years we’ve had no fuss, No squabbles have we had, But if I stay here all alone I’m sure ’twill drive me mad. “Now let us hire a large machine And take a journey, too, We’ll get our meals at a large cafe And then we’ll see a zoo.” Now John agreed without delay To what his wife had said, For he did think without a doubt She had the better head. Now, when the car at last did come, John’s wife seemed very bored, For in the place of a roomy car Was a small, one-seated Ford. “Oh dear”, said she, “such a big mistake, It seems to make me blind, But yet I see no reason why You cannot ride behind.” So up he got, with little fear Of where he soon would be, The only thought left in his mind Was how well he could see. The Ford was cranked and they were off And going at full speed; Poor John held on with all his might But of this there was no need. The car soon hit an awful bump Which relieved it of its load, Poor John gave up his last of hopes And fell into the road. He rolled and tumbled many feet And then he slowly sighed, He counted all the stars he could And then lay down and died.
