We RESUME Volume IV Number 1 Published by the Class of Twenty-Five Bradford High School Bradford, Ohio THE RESUME W B. H. S. ENTRANCE TO BUILDING 4 THE RESUME ■ ■ B. H. S. Farewell to Thee; Oh, B. H. S. Should you ask me, whence these lines, Whence these thoughts and careless rhymes, These thoughts of our dear High School, Thoughts that are pleasant. Thoughts which are not few? I should answer, 1 should tell you,— From the memories of our teachers And their kind devotion to us, From the memories of lower classmen Who are in our footsteps following, Who are always dreaming, dreaming, dreaming, For their journey is not completed And their ambitions not attained. Oh, those carefree days—those High School days, They are past, they are o’re, They are gone forevermore! From your halls we are going, Dressed for travel, armed with knowledge; In our pockets empty purses, And our courage not abated. Into the blackness of the future, Into the future we are plunging, Knowing not fear or misfortune, Of disappointments or of sorrow. But if these mounts should loom before us Like huge walls of Stygnian darkness. With our patience, with our knowledge, With a song upon our lips, We will fight them, we will conquor them! Farewell! Farewell to thee, Oh, B. H. S. We know your days for us are o’re, That they are gone forevermore! H. LESTER ROUTSON, ’25. 5 ■ B. H. S. THE RESUME ■ % And then we think of one who in her youthful beauty died, The fair meek blossom that grew up and faded by our side. In the cold moist earth we laid her, when the forest cast the leaf, And we wept that one so lovely should have a life so brief: Yet not unmeet it was that one, like that young friend of ours, So gentle and so beautiful, should perish with the flowers. 6 THE RESUME B.

II. S. THE RESUME Open Seasame THE l est of our life is gone, and we have permitted the years to slip from us and have not realized the aspiration of our youth, to build some tower of fame with a great lofty parapet. Not indolence, pleasure, nor the fret of restless passions which are difficult to overcome and sorrow and cares that almost kills will keep us from that which we may yet accomplish. Though only a part way up the hill we can see our past lying beneath us with its echoes and sighs,—like a city in the twightlight dim and vast, with its hopes, disappointments, and many jokes; and now ahead of us in the years to come is the cataract of Fame and Fortune far thundering from the heights as if taunting and daring us to climb and make it our very own. We realize those days are gone, but memory is still with us. States fall, arts fade—but memory will not die. We will never forget how dear those days are to us, and so if, in the following pages, which is our last token to B. H. S., we have succeeded in bringing to your lips a quiet smile and to your hearts a faint ripple of joy, we will be satisfied in the knowledge that our earnest labor have not been in vain.

THE RESUME ■— gt Senior Class History Nineteen Hundred and Twenty-five. WHAT does this number mean to us? To some it may have little significance; but to us, the Senior Class, it will be remembered as the year in which we leave our high school, and, separating, go out into life’s great field. Is it to be the end of our toil? No, it is only the beginning of life’s great work, as the word “Commencement” implies. Our high school days have only been a preparation for the tasks which will follow in later life. Four years we have associated together, worked together, solved problems together. Some sixty of us began this journey of four years. To some it has seemed a long journey, and many have grown weary and turned aside. Some thirty of us, by our own perserverance and the help of our teachers, have come to the end of the dear old Bradford High School Road to choose one of many out-branching roads, which will lead us into various occupations. We have had many happy days together. Our associations in the various organizations have been an inspiration and help to us all. These associations have imparted to us something which cannot be gotten from books, and probably are as necessary to our welfare as book learning. But our high school days have not all been happy days. We must have the bitter as well as the sweet. Dark clouds, now and then, make the sunshine seem all the brighter, and adversities help us to appreciate the felicities of life. One of our classmates, in the (lower of youth, has left us, left us not in spirit, but in body. Her spirit still hovers o’er us, and we can still see her gentle, smilling face. In the last four years our teachers have labored much in our behalf. What success we may attain in later life will be largely due to their earnest efforts. So now let us live in a way that our lives may be a fair picture of what a good high school education can do for us; and that men, by looking upon us, can see that perserverance and toil are rewarded by a richer and fuller life—a life more useful and therefore more happy, for we know that the only true joy comes from being useful. And then, as the years roll by, we shall look back and realize that these four years here in high school was time well spent and has done much toward shaping our lives and making us better citizens.

Dear Sir:— One morning in early January, 1951, I received a letter from Miss Lucille Pearson, the president of the Senior Class of 1925, of the City of Bradford, Ohio, requesting that I prepare a complete record of the life and present location of each and every member of the aforesaid class from the time that we left the halls of learning in Bradford High School to the present date. I am sure no one fully realizes the enormous expense and great amount of time and labor that the fulfillment of such a request has cost. But when 1 consider the fact that I have enjoyed my work immensely and am living in the hope that it will be appreciated to the fullest extent I count my labors as nothing. At the time which 1 received Miss Pearson’s letter I was working very hard to complete a romantic scenerio, but in order to comply to her request I immediately dropped my profession temporarily and began a task of research work which lasted about two years. Enclosed you will find a manuscript which is a result of much patience and untiring efforts which I sincerely hope you will find satisfactory:— Kloompy, the celebrated film actress is none other than Lois Basill. Her recent appearance in the rip-roaring comedy, “When Evolution is Philosophical,” has received nation-wide applause. At the time of her entrance in filmdom she had with her two companions, Margaret Hartle and Neva Monroe, also eager to become famous in the light of the screen. Margaret and Neva, however, were doomed to disappointment, for they did not photograph well. But, determined not to be ruined for life, they accordingly resolved never to marry and proceeded to establish what is known to-day as the world-wide famous “Hartle-Monroe Beauty Parlor” in Hollywood, California. Chester McCune early received the degree of “LI. D.” and has recently given up his practice at law in Chicago and retired to his large estate in Florida. He has become internationally known as a result of his success in the aversion of another World War such as was experienced nearly half a century ago. His estate is connected to the famous plantation belonging to Leo Hollopeter. Mr. Hollopeter’s estate is known as the “Iron Butter Bean Plantation” and the finest bananas in the world are grown here. His partner, Don Weikert, has succeeded in cultivating bananas one foot in length and two inches in diameter. Maurice Crowell is assistant editor of College Humor and is expecting to be Editor-in-Chief after the retirement of Mr. Comico, the present editor. Red Layer is chief fireman in the new High School building south of the City of Bradford. I am told he has no trouble in starting the fires. Mildred McBride is the owner of the “McBride Dairy Co.,” south of New York City, which has for sometime been a topic of national discussion. Raymond Lyons and Judson Paul are doing their utmost to negotiate a purchase of the Company at an outrageously low price, but Miss McBride is doing her utmost to prevent a scandal. Lyons and Paul are quite wealthy brokers and it is believed that it is their intention, providing they can arrange a purchase, to control the price of milk and cheese throughout the state of New York. M ■ B. H. S. THE RESUME ■ Benjaman Bosserman has conquored gravity! By means of his device, the Gravitator, it is possible to resist all forces which tend to draw all bodies to the center of the earth. He steps proudly in his machine, presses gently on a small throttle, and immediately is in noisless motion, swift and sure. It is the first perfect machine invented. Helen Grise and Edna Fifer are happily married and are living in New Orleans at the time of this writing. Before marriage they traveled extensively in the jungles of Africa and obtained some very valuable data concerning the ancient tribes which infested this continent centuries ago. In 1950, Imogene Kress, was the first woman to be elected governess of the State of Ohio. Her votes were unanimous in all counties except Miami and Darke. The votors of these two counties feared that her flaming red hair would fire the state. The conclusion that Kermit Froebe is the henpecked husband of a troublesome wife is proven by the fact that he recently telephoned John Sipple’s grocery for “two empty barrels full of sugar.” John replied that he would fill the order immediately provided he could find the “side to one of the barrels.” Naomi Conway and Lillian Perry are spending some time in the Orient. It is said that they have gathered considerable data concerning the religion of the countries and are preparing a book entitled “Religion in the Orient Since Creation.” Marcella Routson was quietly married one year after leaving school. Her husband, a Mr. Shear, is operator at the Athenian Theater in New York City, which was completed last year and is the most wonderful and beautiful structure of its kind in the world. Marjorie Pugh is capturing Paris with her wonderful voice. So great in her singing that a high frequency transmitter is erected over every theater in which she sings, broadcasting her voice to the four corners of the earth. Dorothea Livingston and Ruth McBride recently joined the Barnum and Baily Circus and are very successful in playing the part as snake charmers. Pauline Marline has reached fame and fortune with her violin. She received degrees in two Paris music colleges, one degree in London and four or five in the United States. At the present time she is traveling through the Ethipean Empire in Africa, and is making a tremendous hit with the negroes there. The Regus, the black political head of this Empire, is overwhelmed with her enchanting music. Glenn Buechly completed a course in missionary work in June of last year, and is now arranging for a six year trip to Borneo where he expects to convert the natives by creating in them a love for his violin. Wilbur Hack was married in 1929 and moved to Clayton, Ohio, where he has become quite wealthy due to the fact that oil was discovered under his back porch. Jennie Yates, is gifted with the power to heal the sick and afflicted. There is a steady flow of people in her direction from all parts of the United States. She is working very hard and her relatives are very much concerned about her health. 32 THE RESUME ■ B. II. S.

THE RESUME Junior Class History WHILE the recollection of our Freshman year brings us some rather painful memories (??) we can look back upon that year with pride, for we can truly say we laid a good foundation for high school and—yes—our life career. Our officers for that year were: President, Dale Berkebile; Vice President, Luther Routson; Secretary, Frieda Hershey; and Treasurer, Thelma Grice. Miss Thompson proved herself an able advisor. The next fall forty-two Sophomores met in the large assembly. We felt very much at home that year and demonstrated the fact. Dick Dively was elected to rule over us. We endeavored to live up to our motto, Constantly striving to make our best better,” as is shown by fact that the first semester twenty-seven percent of our number were on the honor roll, the seniors being our only betters. The boys last year made a very good showing in athletics. Our social activities were limited to a Hallowe’en party at Leslie Seas’. This year opened with even greater determination on our part to bring our class to the front. Our Hallowe’en party and rabbit supper were occasions of great festivity. We were all saddened when we heard of the death of one of our classmates, Gladys Bolton. Our class did not produce a great quantity of athletic ability, but we had good quality in the persons of Dick Dively, Mickey Warren, and Robert Liddy of the boys, and Iva Keihl and Miriam Deeter who represented the girls. We have tried to uphold the honor of our class this year and will continue to do so next year. 36 the resume ■ $ ■ B. H. S.

H. S. THE RESUME ■- ® Sophomore Class History IN the year of 1923, we entered the High School as Freshmen. We found the term long and discouraging. But we did our best, and with patience we worked on through our year of work. We all were very happy when our grade cards were given to us with the word “Sophomore” written on them. Then in the fall 1924 we again started back to dear old B. H. S. with four new teachers whom we all like very' much. We knew the rules of High School better and we were not frightened, but ready to start in our long term of hard work. It was but a few days until we met and organized. The officers elected were: President, James Stichter; Vice President, Harold Looker; Secretary and Treasurer, Harry Bangs. C lass colors. Brown and Buff. Class flower, White Lilly.

H. Freshman Class History IF this were the year 1949, it would be an easier matter to write the history of the class of ’28, for in that time each member of the class would have made his own history. However, each would have to admit that the days spent in old B. H. S. marked the beginning of his career. But, as this is only the year 1925, I will do my best to tell you the happenings of our Freshman year. With Mr. Warner’s assistance we orgainzed and elected the following officers: President, Thelma Shear; Vice President, Eileen Durr; Secretary-Treasurer, Mary Waggoner. Although our high school days have thus far been few, some interesting things have happened. We have taken two very interesting field trips in Biology. The last one was very much enjoyed because we had a marshmallow roast along with out hunt for insects, leaves, seeds, and flowers. Everybody had a good time at our hallowe’en party. Leonard Routson’s barn was the scene of our revelery. We helped to celebrate Margaret Seefloth’s birthday by a party-held at her home. Besides a good time the Freshmen Class has had a share in the success of the athletics this year as Donold Shively and Artie Deeter are very-prominent athletes. We also have learned a few things this year. Some of them are: All dangling participles should be hung (English), amoebas explode (Biology), change the sign of the subtraction and find the algebraic sum (Algebra), and don’t use a pony in Latin. ’A'V AXIE 'NUT r sM ' vs—v.. « - ‘ fcN HELEN” k'gB ETOI LE BUTH A PAIR THE RESUME ■ - g ■ B.

THE RESUME JLl Douglas Literary Society THE Douglas Literary Society, met the second week in November, 1924, and an organization was formed. Eighty-five members were enrolled. The Douglas Society gave the second Literary program of the year. It was a Christmas program. It presented to the High School and a few visitors the play, “Christmas Carol.” Immediately after the play Santa appeared upon the scene and presented gifts to all members of the faculty. There was also a piece of pie presented to the biggest eater in school. Later in the year other programs were given. The main events of these programs were the debates. The first debate was “ Resolved: That we pity the future generations.” The negative speakers won the debate. The next debate was “Resolved: That an International Court should be established.” The affirmative won. The last debate was “Resolved: That the tobacco traffic should be abolished.” Again the affirmative won. With the beginning the Douglas Society has made, we hope to go forward and attain those things for which our Literary Society stands. MARY WAGGONER, Sec. 48 Senior French Club ON November 25, 1925, sixteen members of the Senior French Club including Miss Yager met at the High School dining room to feast upon rabbit and all the necessary appendages. After we had all eaten to our utmost capacity we were each asked to give in French the name of something we had eaten. Then we had a report on the origin of French language. The party broke up at 9:30 because Coach Schumacher had told the boys to get to bed early so they could beat Arcanum on the morrow. PAULINE MARLIN. LE CERCLE FRANCAIS was organized by the Senior French Class. We decided to meet every three weeks at the homes of the French students. The officers elected were: President......

Football Banquet THE l'ootl all banquet was more successful this year than any other held in previous years. 1 his was due to the fact that the team enjoyed a more successful season than ever before. The plan and arrangements were made by the parents of the members of the team, who showed their appreciation towards the work of the team. 1 he banquet was held in the Domestic Science room on a Tuesday in December, beginning at 6:30 and lasting until 8:00 o’clock. Among them present were members of the team, faculty, and parents. Music was furnished by Mr. Galligan’s Orchestra. The supper consisted of chicken, noodles, potatoes, sweet potatoes, gravy, fruit, baked beans, cake and ice cream. The after-dinner speech was made by Mr. Snyder, who, in representing the faculty expressed their utmost appreciation towards the team and wished them many more successful seasons. Verses were read by each individual of the team concerning each of the other members. The election of the captain for the coming season took place. Richard Dively was elected and we hope that he may be able to fullfill his duties with the entire strength and help of the team. Mr. Schumaker was then called upon to speak. His speech was one that showed every appreciation of the team’s work and the work of the individuals. I he foot ball that helped win so many games for B. H. S. and the one that went through the most battles that were fought was then presented to Captain McCune, showing only briefly the appreciation extended to him in his most successful season.

Sophomore Class Party ON October 29th, the Sophomore Class had a party at the home of Glenda Hokett. They went to her home about 7:30 and were all masked. I here were a great number of the class there and among them were the following teachers: Mr. Warner, Mr. Schumaker, Misses Martin, Warvel, Nelson. We all had a good time with them. After we were recognized we went out to play games. One game we played was called “Sudden Pain,” with Mr. Warner as doctor, Miss Nelson as nurse, Miss Warvel, suher to the doctor, Miss Martin, doorkeeper, and Mr. Schumaker patient. After playing these games the refreshments were served, consisting of fruit and sandwiches. After this we played the piano and talked. At a late hour we departed and went home. Everyone had enjoyed the evening very much. High School Picnic ONE Tuesday afternoon, the High School hiked out to Deeter s Grove. The boys played football until the supper line was formed. The girls played Whip Cracker, Black Man, Leap Frog, and many other games. Finally supper was ready which consisted of weiners, buns, dill pickles, and marshmallows. After supper a few of the students gave a play. The characters were: Hero I key Yount Vamp Neva Monroe Heroine Frieda Hershey Ma Lois Bazill Pit John Sipple Yillians........... Jud and Warner Singers Slim Wooner and Trev a DeWeese This was a big hit. The heroine falls in love with the hero. The vamp and villians plot to get rid of the heroine. She is captured by the fierce looking villians but the hero saves her and you know the rest. After the play was over we sang many songs. Miss Warvel is right there when it comes to teaching new songs. She taught us a new song called, “ I'd Like to be a Friend of Yours u m and a Little Bit More.” 57 THE RESUME M B. H. S. Sophomore Hallowe’en Party THE home of Alfred Brown, member of the Sophomore Class was the scene of a delightful Hallowe’en party Thursday evening, October 30. The girls and boys of the class entertained. The home was made most attractive for the occasion with suggestive Hallowe’en colors and novelties. Black and orange was the predominating color scheme throughout the rooms. Softly shaded lights threw a pretty glow over the whole setting. The teachers. Misses Yager and Eaton, with the class members came enmasque, which as usual, was mirth provoking and greatly enjoyed. After the unmasking, contests, music and fortune telling afforded the evening's entertainment. Popcorn balls, fudge and apples were served during the evening. The party proved to be one of the most enjoyable events of the Hallowe’en season. Junior Rabbit Feed THE Junior Rabbit Feed, was held Wednesday evening, November 26, 1924. in the Domestic Science rooms of the Bradford High School building. Among about thirty totally present were five members of the faculty, namely: Miss Nelson, Miss Warvel, Mr. Snyder, Mr. Schumacher and Mr. Warner. The dinning room was brightly decorated except for the table which was of paramount importance. When all had arrived, they were seated at the table and Mr. Snyder returned Thanks. A two-course meal was served and every one filled up on fried rabbit, mashed potatoes, gravy, rolls, water, coffee, celery. (ranberr sauce, pie, and baked apples. In spite of the fact that the boys had been saving up for several weeks there was still something left. After supper everyone went to the gym where a class prophesy and some jokes were read. The remainder of the evening was spent in playing Volley Ball, Pick up the Brush, Punch, Musical Chair, and Gathering Nuts. hen it was time to go home, although each one’s appetite was practically ruined, we secretly wished the frying pan many more rabbits. 58 MIRIAM DEETER. THE RESUME ■ ■ B. H. S. Junior Commercial Dept. Steak Roast AT 3:45 Tuesday P. M., November 11, a company of fifteen, not including Warner and Schumaker went to the Covered Bridge. Unlike preceeding times, everybody rode out in three machines. We played baseball and volley ball for about an hour and then Warner came. No sooner did he arrive until of course “eats” were mentioned. Then Dale B. and Alice W. were elected to go after Schumaker. When we started to roast our steak we discovered we had forgotten salt. Somebody went to Deeter's and asked them if we might borrow some salt just as If we’d pay it back. After lunch we played again by the lights from the machines for there was no moon. We chose sides and worked to keep the ball from our rivals. After playing a number of different games we returned to the fire, which had been burned down to coals, and roasted our marshmallows. W7e sang and visited awhile and the motion was made for adjournment. It was seconded and carried and we proceeded on our way home. 59 THE RESUME B. H. S. LUKE 'frj da MID' BUMS w H OA JO R SAT.

COAC H SHUMACHER THIS is his first year with us, and he turned out a football team that hung up records, and a basket-ball team that won three-fourths of its games. He was always conscientious, a hard worker, and always patient. He not only made friends with those in athletics, but with the entire student body, as well, we find good reason for our boast, that being that, “we have the best coach, for a school of our size, in the state”. “Shuey”, we hope you are with us next year.

He instilled fighting spirit into his men that was shown in each game. He was a terrific fighter and a hard loser never saying quits until the final whistle had blown. He could be depended upon to play a bang-up game, and the advice that he gave to his team-mates came from his knowledge of the game. Ches, your spirit, it is hoped will be taken up by those who follow, if it is, success will crown the efforts, not only on the gridiron but in the work and spirit of the school as well. We sincer-ly wish you success. B( )SSER MAN—Guard Bosserman’s determination to show the school what he could do, made good as a guard. He was always on the job and stopped many plays thru center. He played heads-up football all season and broke up many plays of the opposing team. Ben will leave a big hole in the line next year. We wish you luck in the future Ben. PAUL—Center Paul, our star center, has thrown a scare into many of the 1924 elevens. It was impossible to stop him on the offence, and he was a stone-wall on the defence. He could pass a ball from center with ease and with perfect accuracy. He could always be depended upon, and when the time came he made good. Center is one of the hardest positions on football team to play, and Jud filled the place in “ALL AMERICAN STYLE”. He will be missed next year, as he was the main spoke in the line. Luck to you, Jud. 64 the resume B. II. S. LYONS—Tackle Lyons, our veteran right tackle playing that position for three successive seasons, was a fighter of first degree. He would be found in every play and was a constant manace to opposing backs. His ability to lead interferance was a great help to the backfield. Luck to you, Erve. HACK—End Hack, when called upon to take his place at end always did what was expected. He tore into the end runs with fury and he would not only break up the interference, but he would bring the man with the ball down in his tracks. “Hacky”, may you meet the problems of life as you met your opponent on the gridiron,—SQUARELY. SIPPLE—Half Back John Sipple, our ever fighting halfback, will be greatly missed next year. He was hard as nails and a tornado to the opposing team. He never failed to take out an end on offense and when he got the ball, it was disaster to the other eleven. Sipples ability to snag passes and recover fumbled balls was uncanny. For three years, Sipple was a hard plunger and no halfback has equalled his record as an athlete. Sip will be missed next year from the backfield, as he is leaving a big hole for someone to fill. Good luck, Sip 65 THE RESUME ■ W ■ B. H. S. FROEBE—Fullback Froebe, our brilliant fullback, lacked nothing that went to make a full-fledged football player. He is considered the best triple threat man B. H. S.'has turned out for years. His wonderful punting and passing ability will long be remembered. Fritz’s punting was as good as most college stars, he often ’booting the ball 60 yards. We wish you the luck in later life that you have had on the gridiron, Fritz. YOUNT—End Yount was the smallest man on the squad but he was also one of the mightiest. He was Coach Shumacher’s most reliable “sub”, and he saw action in every game. He won a letter because of his nerve. No one was too big for him, and while he was in the game there was no end-runs made. We’re for you, Ike. CROWELL—Manager Being a goat was somebody’s job. “ Bo Zo” took the job and helped inspire a fighting spirit in the team. Always ready, willing, and hopping up and down the sidelines, grip in hand, water bucket in the other, and at a call for water, Bo Zo would be the first on the field. He was the butt of all jokes and was continually being rode, but there is where his good nature came to the front. 66 the RESUME ■ B. H. S. Bradford’s Football Season Bradford—0 Greenville—0 ABOUT thirty men answered the call for foot-ball candidates at the opening of the season. Our new Coach put the squad through two weeks’ of strenuous practice in preparation for the first game with Greenville. Bradford came thru with a moral victory over the “Big Green Eleven”, the game ending a scoreless tie 0—0. Capt. McCune, at left tackle played a stellar game on offensive as well as defensive. The whole line played a heroic game putting up a stonewall defense. Bradford—46 Versailles—0 Coach Schumaker’s prodigies journeyed to Versailles with but one though in the mind of each, that of avenging the 6—0 defeat handed them by the Versailles team the preceeding year. Shively started the scoring with a 45 yard run for the first touchdown. This was but the beginning of a large number of scores. Froebe intercept ;d a pass and with the aid of wonderful interference ran fifty-five yards for a touchdown. S'pple scored on a wide end run which was followed closely by our left end, B. Lyons, crossing their goal line after snagging a pass. Warren on two end runs scored two touchdowns. Myers, our star half, scored the last touchdown on a center play. Versailles was outclassed. Bradford—13 Miami Military Institute—0 The “Boilermakers” motored to Miami Military Institute, and gave the boys of that school the only defeat of the season, the score being 13—0. Warren, our diminutive quarterback scoring both touchdowns in the early part of the game. McCune and R. Lyons at tackles put up a fight on the defense that won’t be forgotten by the soldier boys for some time. Jud Paul playing center, although far out-weighed by his opponent, played around him all during the game. When the debris had been cleared away after the game, Bradford was away out in front as usual. Bradford—40 West Milton—0 This battle took place at home, during the week of the Pumpkin Show, and a large crowd witnessed the victory of the locals. Froebe started the scoring with an end run followed up by the scoring of Dively, Lyons, Sipple, and Shively. Capt. McCune was badly injured in this game. Myers was also injured, keeping him out the rest of the season. Lyons, Shively, and Sipple got away with a number of passes. P. Lyons playing R. T. did some real offensive work opening holes for play after play. Also Paul did some great offensive work playing center. 67 THE RESUME ■ ■ B. H. S. Bradford—34 Celina—0 For the fifth consecutive game of the season Bradford Hi held her opponents scoreless. This speaks well for the line, tho to mention one star on the line would demand a mention of the rest. The Bradford team played below their standard, the rapid pace they had set earlier in the season was beginning to tell on them. Looker’s, 85 yard run in the final minutes of play gave the fans a thrill that will long be remembered. Yount, came through for a touchdown. Warren put up some great offensive work standing the big Celina boys on their ears and making them look like dubs. McCune’s superior defensive work must be given some mention. Brandford—3 Sidney—25 The Bradfordites suffered their first defeat of the season at the hands of Sidney. McCune at Left Tackle, Paul at Center and Hack at Right End, were Bradford’s stars, putting up an invincible brand of ball both on defense and offence. Sticher our small Left Guard stopped Sidney’s huge Full-back on many of his charges. The Hi boys took the defeat rather hard but like the true men that they are. Bradford —0 Roosevelt—19 Playing in a field of mud the Bradford warriors went down to their second defeat at the hands of the Daytonians 19—0. With the exception of the wonderful passing machine of the Teddies, Bradford outpointed their opponents throughout the game. Only 56 yards were gained through our line or around the wings while we ploughed through them for a total of 145 yards, but always when we were in scoring position we lost the ball by fumble. The Teddies made all their points the first quarter and made but little ground after the locals had solved their method of attack. McCune attempted a forty yard place kick and missed only a few inches. Sipple and McCune looked best on the defensive while Froebe looked best on the offense. Froebe did some fine punting during this game. R. Lyons, our big right tackle put up a brand of ball on the defensive that deserves mention. He was handicaped by playing against a man outweighing him by twenty pounds. Bradford—0 Arcanum—0 Bradford left for Arcanum in a body. It was the last game on the schedule and to all outward appearances would be the most gruelling contest of the whole season. It was a fast game throughout. The Arcanum people were certainly glad to hear the final whistle for this reason: Looker, a plunging R. H., was certainly tearing up the Arcanum line. Making from four to twelve yards at every play through either center or right tackle. Bradford out-classed Arcanum Eleven, in every thing that goes to make up a good foot ball team. But simply could not supply the necessary punch when within scoring range. The game ended 0 0, ending the football season. 08 the resume ■ ‘teak B. H. S 60 BASKETBALL TEAM THE RESUME the resume ■ B.

Sip has played guard for three years and has a reputation of being the hardest fighter that B. H. S. has turned out for years past. His position will be hard to fill next year. We’re for you Sip. h ROEBE—Guard I' ritz played guard and besides being a great defensive man, he was also a main cog in the powerful offense. A clever floor man, with a dashing dribble, he gets in and cages the buckets when the others fail. Fritz leaves us this year. ALL OHIO 2ND. TEAM '23. 72 THE RESUME B. H. S. LYONS—Center A reserve center who didn’t get into the fracas very often but when he did he looked good. A hard aggressive player and a good shot. We lose him by graduation. PAUL—Forward A reserve forward who always instilled a lot of pep into the game when he was called upon. Not only showed up well on the offensive but also made his opponent stretch to the limit while playing defense. Jud we shall expect to hear from you during your college career. 73 THE RESUME THE RESUME ■ ■ B. H. S. Basketball THELMA TISOR, (R. F.), Captain Thelma’s lack of size does not matter to her or B. H. S. She seldom misses a basket when she aims We are glad to note that B. H. S. will be fortunate enough to have her two years longer. 1VA KIEHL, (L. F.) Iva has worked her way up to first Team, by speed and accuracy. She and Thelma will both be honored in the coming years. NEVA MONROE, (C.) “Pug” has played in Center for the last three years and we are sorry to say, that this is her last year in B. H. S. We wish her success, and hope we can be proud of a second “Pug” next year. MIRIAM DEETER, (R. C.) Miriam is little but mighty. She is always after the ball and usually gets it. There is a difference in the size of the Centers but they work nicely together. LOIS BAZELL, (R. G.) “Klumpy” as she is better known in B. H. S. has the pep, and sure knows how to use it, when it comes to guarding her opponents. We wish her all the success in the world. EDITH KEOGH, (L. G.) “Toots” is a big girl and she has two years left in B. H. S. We hope in the coming two years, she will make her opponents step as she has done the past year. MARGARET HARTLE, (G.) Margaret is a good scout and we are proud to note that she can sub in two positions. Guard and C. This is her last year in B. H. S. Luck to her. lita McLaughlin, (r. c.) Lita is a girl who never thinks what she does, but she does what she thinks. EMMA KIEHL, (L. G.) Emma is frequently after the ball. She has a sly way of slipping the ball into the basket. She is working her way up to fame by speed and accuracy. LOUISE HILL, (G.) “Hilly” is quick on her feet and is a good guard and nothing else but. As this is her last year in High School we want to wish her success during the coming years. 75 B. H. S. THE RESUME NEVA MONROE—Jumping Center Neva who had played center for two years came back again this year with a wonderful fighting spirit that helped win many games. She was quick on the floor making straight sure passes to her forwards nearly always getting the tip offs from her opponents. Althought near the holidays Neva’s ill health did not permit her to play a whole game. At the end of the season she came back with the same old grit as was shown in the P. H. and Covington game. Had her health permited we are sure she would have reached her highest ambition and knocked a piece of plaster off the top of the Gym, with one of her neat little tip offs. Here’s to you “Pug” keep your fighting spirit and win the game of life. LOUISE HILL—Guard Louise would have been one of our brightest stars had she started earlier in her career to try for first team. Early in the season she showed her mettle when put in to help stop the strong Greenville scoring machine. How well she helped may be judged from the fact that in the second half we pushed ahead from bitter defeat to a tie score. As a guard Louise had natural ability. Being aggressive and fast on her feet she was always able to worry her forward. Always ready for the fray she came up smiling after every bump. We know she will play well the game she enters after commencement day. MARGARET HARTLE—Left Guard Margaret played guard and center in her Sophomore year. This year she again took up her guarding position, althought she did not play the first few games she made up for it in the other. She had for her motto: “Stick with ’em” and no matter how quick an opponent she had she always lived up to her motto. She was quick and always on the job, being willing and ready to go into the game at any time. We know that Margaret will be a success in what she undertakes if she sticks with it as she did her basket ball. LOIS BAZILL—Right Guard Lois showed her ability as a student in more than one way besides completing her High School course in three years. She took up athletics and made a success in it as she has in her studies. She was our star guard playing in every game and fighting till the last. Her strength and endurance always outlasted that of her opponent’s by using her head as well as her feet she may be able to break up the forwards’ passes before they were aware of it. Lois has proved to us she can and will be a success in what ever she undertakes. 76 the resume ■ B. H. S. Track THIS little alibi may to your mind be worked to death, dear reader, but it is our good reason for our not making a good showing in track last year. Our reason is: We lacked training and preparation. We hope however to do better this year, and we feel that we will for Coach Shumacher has been putting in a lot of work getting his men in shape.

As 1 was gazing at the different brands while waiting for a clerk, I was startled to here a peculiar grating directly under my feet. The noise very much resembled the clanking and scraping of iron against iron. Then followed a shrill screech of rusty hinges. Suddenly, and without any warning whatever, the floor directly beneath me gave away. Down I plunged, clutching madly for a handhold on the edge of the opening. Down, down I fell, through a limitless black chasm. I crashed into a wire, and everything was flooded in a dazzling, blinding light. The wire must have been connected to an electric switch. Immediately below me I saw a huge, wide-mouthed, conical shaped tube terminating in a spout. I fell so rapidly that I did not realize the fear of being wedged in that terrible trap of death. I struck it with a violent crash and slipped like a streak of greased lightning to what 1 thought was the bottom, but to add to my horror, I kept on slipping downward—down to I knew not where. The small opening was nothing more than an egres to a kind of a cylinder closely resembling a spiral fire escape. Like a squirming worm I slipped down this twisting structure at such an enormous rate that my senses gradually begun to grow numb and vanish. I know not how long I remained in an unconscious state, but the next thing I remember of is that I was struggling in a pool of icy water. The shock of the chilling water brought my senses back with a rush, but the reaction of the coldness paralyzed me for a time so that I merely floundered helplessly about. 1 struggled faintly among the chunks of ice towards the ledge, which was bout two feet above the water. The half frozen water sapped nearly all the remaining strength from my chilled body. The coldness penetrated to the very marrow. Summoning all my fast waning strength and power of indurance I struggled almost vainly for the edge of my watery sepulcher. I grasped the edge of the ledge and slowly crawled to the top. Almost frozen, I fell exhausted upon the edge and there I lay in a semi-conscious state for a long time—an age it seemed. I wandered what time it was. I withdrew my watch from my pocket and to my surprise it was only 2:20. Surely more than five minutes had elasped since 1 entered the Chinaman’s store! It seemed hours. Then it dawned upon me that the time piece had stopped upon coming in contact with the water. The place on which I lay was a shelf about ten feet long and three feet wide. On my left was the icy water. The walls which bounded the sides of my prison were made up of square cakes of ice piled upon each other like bricks in a brick wall. The room was so brilliantly lighted by numberless dazzling electric lights that the reflection upon the walls of ice blinded me. My wet, soppy clothes clutched to my numb limbs with a terrible tenacv. It was so 87 ■ B. H. S. THE RESUME ■ silent that my ow n heart beats resembled the spurtering of a gattling gun. I grew colder and colder until my breath came in labored.gasps. The air that 1 breathed seemed to be a dense cloud of frozen mist. In a vague manner I wondered why I had been so mysteriously hurled into this deathgripping chamber. My thoughts were so skattered by the unbearable cold that I failed to fully comprehend the horrible predicament to which I was subjected. The brilliant light compelled me to keep my eyes closed. Then I began to sink into a kind of a fit, with apparent suspension of the vital and mental powers. I lost all sense of pain and felt very comfortable for a short time. Then a void, unfilled interval. I know not how long 1 remained thusly, but when 1 woke, the walls of ice had begun to melt and the water to trickle on the floor on which I lay. As the cold liquid came in contact with my spine I was seized by a spasm of shivering. The sensation which I experienced was a hundred times worse than that realized when someone unexpectedly drops a small chunk of snow down you spine. I struggled to rise and to my horror, I was bound hand and foot by copper wires. The bonds were so tight that the pain was barely endurable; and only by sheer force of will power was I able to hold back cries of torture. I tried to free myself, but the more I struggled the more acute the pain. After a time I became so exhausted from my feeble struggles that I was contented to lay quite still and gaze dumbly at my feet. About twenty-four inches above my feet I noticed an alarm clock. This struck me as a strange thing. Immediately above the clock was situated a placard about a foot square, containing writing upon it. I gazed at the objects cpiite unable to comprehend their meaning. In a faint way I read the message upon the sign: AT THREE O’CLOCK THIS CLOCK WILL AUTOMATICALLY CLOSE AN ELECTRIC CURRENT WHICH WILL PASS THROUGH THE WIRES THAT ARE BOUND ABOUT YOUR WRISTS AND ANKLES. THIS WILL BE YOUR DEATH. WATCH THE CLOCK. I must have kept my eyes rivited upon those terrible words for some time, for when I at last fully realized my doom, the ice had all melted. The steam from my clothing made it more or less difficult for me to watch the clock. I then knew that the temperature must be rising, or the water would not have begun to evaporate from my soppy clothing. The vapor acted as a dense fog playing between me and the clock which I was so intent upon watching. It was two o’clock by the dial above my feet. Only one hour to live! Is there any feeling as terrible as that experienced by anyone who knows when the end is to come? Intently I peered through the dense vapor, watching the hand upon the dial slowdy creep toward three o’clock. At irregular intervals I was permitted to faintly discern the clock through the thick fog. I thought it rather queer that my clothing alone should create so much vapor. Then I noticed that it came from every damp source about me. The pool by my side was steaming. The thick gloom inshrouded me so closely that I could see only a few feet in any direction. The lines of the sign and the clock slowly became more and more indistinct until they were lost from view. The cold began to leave me. I became warmer, and with the exception of my hands and feet my temperature felt quite normal. But only for a short time, for it soon began to get warmer and warmer until the prespiration stood upon my forehead in huge droplets. The heat become so intense that it wras almost asphixiating, but more easily endured than the terrible cold. I lay in this condition for some time, wondering what it all meant. I could not see the clock and wondered how long I had yet to live. Not a noise penetrated the stillness to disturb my troubled thoughts. It was like being shut up forever in a tomb. Suddenly, and w ithout any warning, a hidden door near my feet sw ung partly open. A strong draft rushed over me, and through the room, clearing the heavy laden atmosphere. I he first thing I thought of was the clock. I had only ten minutes to live! I had barely glanced at the clock, wdien, with a terrific crash, the lights wrent out, plunging everything in a black, creeping darkness. My heart leaped toward my throat, nearly choking me. I swallowed hard. I realized that my end was near and trembled like a small leaf in a mighty storm, -mmediately after the lights went out, I heard a gurgling, splashing sound at my left, as if the water in the pool was rushing madly out of a drain pipe. Then, as suddenly and as mysteriously as they went out, the lights flashed on again, but without that deafening crash. A peculiar noise in the pool attracted my attention before I could again glance at the clock. There was not a drop of w'ater in the place where I had been compelled to swim for my life. In its place I was horrified to see swarms of squirming, hissing reptiles! My eyes were glued to the awful sight like one under the power of hypnotism. 88 B. H. S. THE RESUME ■ £1 My attention was next arrested to a peculiar swish immediately above my face. I turned my eyes and there, not more than an inch from my nose was the most wicked looking spider I had ever looked upon. I tried to cry out and frighten the hideous thing up its web. Then, like a flash, a squirming, fighting, hissing shake, tied about the belly by a cord, came plunging toward my face. I closed my eyes so that I would not witness the sight of that slimy devil crawl about my neck and slowly and surely choke the life from my body. Hardly knowing whether I was dead or dying, I lay there and awaited my fate. Several minutes passed and no slimy touch of that infernal serpent! I finally gathered enough courage to open my eyes. The spider was gone! In its place was another reptile! Both serpents were fighting their death fight within ten inches of my face. In a twinkling the larger snapped his vicious jaws on the neck of the smaller and with the most terrible gulps, began to swallow the victim. Involuntarily my gaze shifted toward the alarm clock. I still had five minutes to live. I was filled with thoughts pertaining to my future. Heaven or Eternal Torture,—which? In a flash I thought of my sinful life. Surely no hell could be as terrible as the hell to which I was now subjected. My slowly functioning brain filled with the sweetness of that beautiful passage, “Expect ye repent ye shall be lost. I breathed a fervent prayer asking the forgiveness of a wicked soul, and God to take care of my wife. The thought of those beautiful words in the last stanza of Thanatopsis! How little had I realized their meaning when I was in good old B. H. S. Had I lived so that I could take my chamber in the silent halls of death, sustained and soothed by an unfaltering trust, like one who wraps the drapery of his couch about him and lies down to pleasant dreams? Or would I be scouraged to my dungeon like the quarry-slave? Three minutes! The suspense and torture of impending death! My repenting thoughts were disturbed by the screeching of the door at my feet. It was being slowly opened. A long skinny hand gripped the knob on the inside. Then the wrist, followed by the arm, the shoulders, and the huge form of a man. The horrible, grinning face of a Chinaman! Oh, the hidiousness of that fiendish, yellow son of Satin. He pushed the door wide open and admitted himself. His grinning face, squinting eyes, and slanting forehead are so vividly impressed upon my memory that it is impossible for me ever to forget the horror of it. In his hand he carried the most death-looking dagger that I had ever beheld. Over his shoulder appeared another yellow beast. Another, and still another, until there were about two dozen crowded in the door and hallway beyond. I flashed another glance toward the door. The yellow fiend in the lead was slowly raising his weapon, and with a quick, jerking motion, he sent the dagger through the air toward my heart. I closed my eyes and awaited the sting that would sever my heart. A thud between my arm and my side was all. The knife missed its mark and stuck quiveringly in the wooden floor. I shot a glance toward the one who had sent the message of death. He and all of his followers had vanished! Again I turned my attention to that wreathing serpent above my face. I had almost forgotten its presence when those slinking, yellow beings stood before me. I stared at what I saw as one transformed to stone. The snake was changing form! First, it seemed to lose its length and grew shorter. When it reached the length of about ten inches its abdomen began to expand. It kept up this manner of changing until it became a perfect sphere which immediately began to assume the face of the devil. It was more hidious and hellish than those chinamen. I closed my eyes in despair. Was this Satan’s call for his workers? Surely when one is about to die he will not be tormented thusly unless he has lived a life such as I. When I again opened my eyes and looked toward the clock the hand was directly on the dot indicating three o’clock. Mad with fear, I tore and struggled at my bonds of copper wire. With a mighty effort I leaped. The wires snapped and I was free! The devil and all his angles could not get me now. I could fight! “I say Charlie, what do you mean by crawling away from your hard-working wife and day-dreaming in the shade of this old apple tree? Go on and clear yourself out of here and split me some wood.” My wife! Was I in heaven, or—no, it was my wife, for she instantly endorsed her command with a flying rolling pin. I tried to dodge, but some of the flying flour found a lodging place in my eyes as the handle vigorously came in contact with my thick cranium. The shock was electrifying and I acted accordingly. In short, I moved quite rapidly in the direction of the wood shed. H. LESTER ROUTSON, ’25. 89 THE RESUME ■ ■ B. H. S.

Essay on Pants “Pants are made for men. and not for women. Women are made for men and not for pants When a man pants for a woman and a woman pants for a man, that’s a pair of pants. Such pants don’t last. Pants are like molasses—they are thinner in the hot weather and thicker in cold. Men are often mistaken in pants; such mistakes are breeches of promise. There has been much discussion as to whether pants is singular or plural. It seems to me that when men wear pants it’s plural and when they don't it’s singular. Men go on a tear in pants, and its all right—but when the pants go on a tear it’s all wrong. If you want to make the pants last, make the coat first. By Bozo, ’25. 98 THE RESUME ■ B. H.
