We deeply appre- . cate the work he has done in his years of service in our u reiools, X.: To the Class of 1940: It is with the greatest interest that I have Watched your progress through school. From the time when you brought apples to your grade school teachers till I signed your diplomas, I have watched for evidence of mental, social, and spiritual growth. There is much controversy today about what public education should accomplish. We expect that our graduates shall show a knowledge of skills necessary in life - figuring, reading, writing, and the handling of ordinary tools. We also hope that they will be conscientious, trustworthy members of society, understanding the problems of the democracy in which we live. We hope they will have a creative ability to contribute something of their own to the world today. When I view this graduating class, I feel that our school has not failed. Time alone will tell how Well we have done cur work. But today is fnr all of us a day of promise -that you will show by your future achievement that the influence of Bryan High School has been good. A. R. WHITE. 'XJ Miss Culbertson, better known to the students as Marnie, is the secretary in Mr. White's office. She attends to the re- ports, the correspondence, and the blue slips. She has a pleasing personality and is well liked by all the students. AAAAA VVV X MR.

EXTRA CURRICULAR ACTIVITY-Adviser of Stu- Qf A look backward over the years is valuable only insofar as it provides a perspective of the present situation and suggests the way to future progress. It is with this idea in mind that the community of Bryan can look at the high school as it is now, compare it with what it was several years ago, and work toward what they wish it to be in the fu- ture. The home economics department, the vocational arts department, the department for the sciences, and the 119W junior high school in the new building, and the new agricul- ture department in the old building indicate a great stride forward in the Bryan schools. We are pleased to know that these departments rank with the best in the state of Ohio, but their true values are to be realized through the results of the work carried on in these various courses. The educational values of the shop department will be realized for years to come. Twenty years from now Will, no daubt, find many of the present shop students working in their own shops at home: thus Bryan public school education will have con- tributed toward two of the major goals of education, viz. enrichment of adult life and pre- paring for constructive use of leisure time. Many boys will go into shops in order to earn their livelihoods and again the Bryan publi: schools will have contributed to an ultimate goal of education-vocational training. dent Council. A pleasant and adequate environment is conducive to better results. The people of the community are and should be proud of these improvements made and the students, faculty, and townspeople should be grateful to the members of the board of education for their foresight, interest, and efforts in planning these fine educational facilities for the youth of the community. -RUFUS SCALES. cf Flossie Burkhart and Ruth DeGroff act as secretaries to Mr. Scales and are in charge of the office when he is absent.

M ary Lucille Weaver QXWXJ Perhaps all of you students do not realize it, but there must be a unifying force in order that the school may function. The faculty and administration are part of this unit as is the Board of Education. However, we, the students, ought to have a voice in the way the school is run and we dol Every fall each class elects its members to the Stu- dent Council. The Freshmen elect two members who remain in office throughout their four years of high school provided they behave themselves properly and display a rea- sonable amount of interest in the Council. The Sophomores elect one, bringing the total to three and the Juniors one, making then a total of four. Because of their seniority the Seniors elect two new members giving them six representatives on the Council. This body of students has the responsibility of governing the four classes in high school and doing such things as arranging the elections, decorating the football field, and sponsoring assembly programs. The Student Council also renders its assistance to other clubs whenever difficulties arise. This year a new service was rendered to visitors of Bryan High School. The coun- cil provided an information desk in the main hall leaving a student in charge at every period of the day. This group finances its activities by operating a candy stand in the main hall. The nievnbers hope to make our school a better place in which to study by keeping order and discipline. G. K.

There were 117 in that first grade, and Miss Hester, Miss Mattox, and Miss Quelette were their teachers. 1940 seemed far, far in the distance in those days. Would you believe that there are only 45 of that class who are Seniors at Bryan today? The rest have withdrawn, failed, or moved away and have been replaced by others. The next three years passed swiftly with many of us spending a good share of our time either in the cloakroom or out in the hall. It was in these grades that many fell in love for the first time. Remember Valentine Day back in those days? However, very few of these love affairs lasted through the years to follow. The fifth grade brought the kids from the east and west part of town together for the first time. Joyce Tolman and Jimmy Yencer joined us that year. Remember the champion Midget basketball team we had the next year? It was the pride of the whole school. This was also the year that the penalty for chewing gum was to stand in front of the class and chew to the rhythm of the clock. COur G. R. president should remember this quite distinctlyl. We also had an amateur hour every Friday afternoon, and many future actors and actresses made their debut at this time. Then came Junior High-half of our school life gone already. Is there anyone who doesn't recall that Things to be remembered must fre- quently be reviewed. Here the girls got their first taste of sewing and cooking, while the boys turned carpenters. Ross Alexander spent a night in the county jail, and everyone hurried to get his autograph. And then graduation! Didn't that stage seem a mile long? Many of the girls wore their first corsages that memorable night. It was a nice dance afterwards, remember? Freshmen-and as green as they come. We were surely given a thorough initiation. Remember that sulphur and molasses? Our spirits rose considerably, however, at the dance which followed when we became full-fledged members of B. H. S. Several of our class became important in football, basketball, the debate, and in the dramatic club play. There were also many freshmen in the A Capella Choir and in the band. What fun it was to be sophomores and watch other people go through the tortures we had experienced only one short year before. What a boost to our ego to think we were no longer the bottom rung of the ladder. This year we were allowed to join Girl Reserves and Hi-Y. Jean Blakely, Elaine Grim, and Henry Sanford joined us that year. And then we were Juniors. Mary Louise and Dorothy Decker were added to our merry throng-also Doreen Flinn, who, after spending several years elsewhere, finally decided Bryan was the best place after all. By this time nearly everyone of us had found some important place for our- selves, either in sports, dramatics, music, or some other extra-curricular anctivity. Perhaps one of the most memorable events was the J unior-Senior rom. Dignified seniors at last-or were we really much more dignified than as freshmen. Marjorie Clark and Hubert Shape came back after spending a few years in our neighboring state of Indiana. The Hi-Life to be gotten out every other week, the annual to be kept out of the red, football and basketball championships to be won-all these made our last year seem very short. Our last Junior-Senior, the Senior play, Bacca- laureate, Commencement, and the Senior picnic over-in fact, our days in Bryan schools are all over. Twelve years weren't nearly so long as they seemed back in 1928. D. K. '40. 'IWHEN WE WERE VERY YOUNG Q .1-A , Ding Dong Dell L 'c0'n School Park School Bell f fx , . Tawney, Scummy, ' I. . A.

Beulah Stutzrnan 1 Upon this page scattered at random are portraits of people whom you know as friends or as acquaintances. Taken as a whole, they comprise the Junior Class of '39-'40. If these pictures were endowed with the power of speech, perhaps they would speak of these, their merits. We are proud to have been one of the largest Junior classes assembled in Bryan High School. Due to our size we were strong in all branches of scholastic and extra-curricular activities. In the athletic field we had 13 representatives in footballg nine of this number received gold foot- balls and letters. The basketball season furnished eight of our number an excellent opportunity to prove their worth. Several excelled in track and cross country. Not only in athletics, but also in literary, social, and educational clubs did the Juniors participate. They realized the advantages of these organizations and tried to prove themselves helpful members in Girl Reserves, Hi-Y, Dramatic Club, Twin Arts, and the F. F. A. Many held offices or were active in the new clubs started this year, the Shutterbugs, Radio Club, Flying Club, and the Quill and Quibble. A few held responsible positions on the Hi-Life staff. Our capable president, together with the other class officers and Student Council represen- tatives, piloted us safely through the year, and we take this opportunity to express our gratitude to them. Under their guidance the class, planning to assume half the financial responsibilities of the Junior-Senior, sponsored a successful bake sale. Now, as time advances so rapidly, we suddenly realize that we have completed 11 of the 12 years of fundamental education and have but one remaining year to spend in our Alma Mater acquiring additional knowledge, life-long friends, and practical experience. In progressing to our Senior year we hope that we can emulate the standards set by the Senior class of '40, To them may we extend our best wishes for happiness and future success. E. S. '41.

QZEIIIIGJKD TI-IE CLASS OF 1942 What have we, the Sophomores of 1940, to look forward to? A turbulent, warring world, a nation with millions of poor, wretched, starving people, a national debt of unbelievable size, unem- ployed men, women, boys, and girlsg and if one believes in prophecies, the end of the world soon. Sophomore - with only two years before us, and we shall be out facing the grim reality of this horrible picture. ls it any wonder that we sometimes question why we should go to schoolg why We should study and prepare ourselves, and then be forced into a world such as this? Are we studying the English language in order to go out and shout our hatred of the enemy and murder him from the deep, dark trench of the bloody battlefield ? Are we studying the history of the world to discover the mistakes that have been made and yet to proceed to make worse ones ourselves? Ho - we are the future leaders of the world. We are looking past this bitter scene that looms before our eyes into something greater, more beautiful. Our hope is to profit by the errors of others in order that we may bring a solution to the bewildered people of this age. We are watch- ing those Juniors and Seniors and wondering how they will meet the world, and we realize that we have only two more years ahead of us to prepare ourselves for the great task before us. Our study of English is a privilege because it has been handed down to us by our elders. It is our duty to preserve it for the coming generations that they may realize the value of it. Our study of history and science is essential that we may know the World as it was when it began, its people, our relations to them, its progress, its improvement, and the greatness of the task we have to per- form when it is given into our hands. Yet it is with pride that we think of our country, and it is up to us to keep it a nation to be proud of. Only by education can we do this. Through religious education we can prepare our- selves to work With, love, and understand our fellow men. Through scholastic efforts we shall learn the past solution of international problems and increase our knowledge of worldly matters. Only when we have built a country worthy of the highest praise can we tell others upon what to build their foundations. Are we able to give the future generations apeaceful, contented world? Can we, the Sopho- mores, look forward past a troubled world of today into a serene world cf tomorrow? There is work to be done, there is a challenge to meet. Can we meet that challenge, and when we have given our best hear the words which we want to hear- Well 610109, my Cllildfeli, well d01'le ? C. B.

THE CLASS OF 1943 We stand before you here 115 strong, the Freshman Class of 1940. We are the future hope- fuls of Bryan High, and We realize the responsibility that places on us. As Freshmen we must prepare ourselves for the work of carrying the torch later on and keeping up the present high standards of our school. To this end we are doing our very best. In the 115 members of our class we have everything a class needs to carry on the work of making a high school one of the best of its kind. All the talents of our class are blossoming forth this year in their various ways. Our future actors and actresses rave joined the dramatic club and in a very few years will probably have all the responsibility which now rests with upper class- men. The executive ability of our class is represented by our representatives to the S t u d en t Council. Our Freshman athletes this year are getting an early start and promise to do big things in a year or two. Future football stars have played on both the Junior High and second teams. The Freshman boys have their own basketball team, made up of 11 members of the class, and have already completed a very successful season. When we are upper classmen there will be all sorts of journalistic jc-bs for those who are so inclined. These people are getting their practice from small assignments on the Hi-Life which are thrown their way. In the musical line We have made a gallant start. The Freshmen are well represented in the band and several also play with the Melody Boys. For the training of future A Capella stars we have a special Freshman Chorus which meets twice weekly.

The eighth grade students, who last year received their schooling in the upper story of Park School, had quite a change. I.ockers were greeted with shouts of approval, and the new subjects were heartily applauded. At first the students were lost as to knowing where the rooms were located, and, in addition, some of the classrooms were not completed, the completion of these rooms helped to clear the confusion. The first Junior High Student Council meeting was held in October, 1939. This Student Council, which has 14 members, provides the students with many activities. The members are elected each year and represent both the seventh and eighth grades, the head cheerleader and class presidents are also included as members. The group elected the following officers: Sherwin Frye, president, Shirley Miller, vice-president, Carolyn Key, secretary, and Betty Lou Starr, treasurer, Mr. Fites attended each meeting as the adviser. Other members are Betty Throne, Shirley Frye, Gae Obee, Max Poer, Nat Acker, Margaret Slough, Norman Guise, and Harry Castor. In December Sherwin Frye resigned and the council elected Billy Beach to fill his place. A candy stand was set up at the bottom of the stairs but old man winter changed the group's minds, the stand later being moved to the third floor. Since more money has been made than in former years, this year has been a very prosperous one. The Student Council also sponsored the Junior High Christmas Dance. An interesting pro- gram preceded the dance, the music of which was furnished by records. Gym is an interesting subject for most of the students. Those who came from Lincoln and Park Schools never had the privilege of using a gym, therefore, all were very much interested in the course. The Junior High football team, coached by Avery Willis, enjoyed a successful sea- son-winning two, losing one, and tying one. They won from Wauseon 6-0, conquered 'Pelier by the same score, tied Defiance 7-7, and also lost to Defiance 6-0. The following boys were the bulwark of the attack: Curly and Roy Hoffman, Dick Jaquith, Don Mills, and Pete Dreher comprised the backfield, Dave and Eugene Hoffman, Wimpy Pickering, Wilmer Lutz, Foster Kline, and Dutch and Dick Miller made up the line. Coach Taylor will rely on these boys to bring league championships in the years to come. The students profit by the Junior High library, which is located at the north end of the study hall. There are reference books of all kinds as well as a great variety of fiction and magazines. The music classes of '9 and '40 have been a great improvement over former years in the Junior High. Due to the access of a separate music room it is possible to have classes for both boys and girls. Each class has its own accompanist whose playing is greatly appreciated by both teacher and pupils. The eighth grade girls were allowed to sing one selection in the annual Christmas concertg this same group of girls has been de- voting a few minutes of each period to the singing of popular numbers. The seventh and eighth grade students are eagerly looking forward to entering high school. Each one has his own idea as to what courses he will take when either next year or the following year he becomes a part of the senior high school. C. H. '44. G. 0. '44. B. L. S. '44, E. S. '45. K. R.

HI SHOP: JR. HI STUDY HALL. With the addition of the new building to Bryan High came a new and modern Industrial Arts Depaitment. Covering nearly every phase of learning in woodworking, electricity, automotive me- chanics, foundry work, and machine shop makes ours one of the finest industrial arts departments in this vicinity. Good tools, new equipment, and ideal working conditions help many who may become our craftsmen cf the future. This can be proved by the magnificent cedar chests, graceful tables, and many other objects made by the students in woodworking, the hum of the repaired automobiles, precision tools madc in the machine shop, castings made in the foundry, and feats in electricity ot' thc electrical department. None of these things could be made possible without proper cquipmcnt. Moreover, very few things could be accomplished without the able and correct instruction ot' Mr, Cash. We wish to thank the Board of Education for this splendid addition. THE LIBRARY The purpose of the library is to provide worth-while pleasure and also information in books and magazines. The library has been enlarged, now holding 52 people while last year its capacity was only 24. It's open seven periods a day and also at noon. Although Miss Zimmerman keeps it running very smoothly, she has 10 student librarians to assist her. It has subscriptions for 28 magazines, both local papers, and one daily paper. The circulation of books averages 35 a day for Senior High and 20 for Junior High. About 150 new books were purchased and as many bor- rowed from the public library. Under the efficient supervision of Miss Zimmerman, the Bryan High School library certainly serves its purpose. CKQIIIJGX9 MODEL KITCHEN: MONKEY CAGE: FARM SHOP: JR.

S. students, they could find the nose prints of a good share of them on the windows of the new Home Ec lab. The Junior High also has left its mark there. And no wonder. It's one of the most attractive rooms in the new building with its shining white stoves and cupboards, not to mention the tempting smells that have come every year from the kitchens. It has printed Iinoleum to set it off from the rest of the school, and even drapes at the windows to make it seem more like home. And how the students gloried in the ultra-modern sewing machines and the smooth tables where not even the sheerest hose could get snagged. Then, too, every girl has an individual drawer in which to keep her work. Although part of the cooking equipment did not arrive until the middle of the year, the Freshmen, who cooked first, managed ta turn out quite creditable meals. But a few accidents did happen, like the breaking of one of our precious goblets or a Pyrex double boiler. A few of us even had failures in our meals, but in spite of all this, the cooking was enjoyed by all. All in all, the year was a memorable one and Miss Bowland is to be congratulated on her continued success in turning out future housewives. A. H. '42. 3? THE LAB Do you believe in dreams? Well, I didn't either until yesterday. I was in the li- brary and Don Davis, who was sitting beside me, became extremely talkative, and it was then when he told me about a dream he had had some time ago. It all happened on one hot July day when Don didn't quite know what to do with himself 5 so he decided to go over to the high school and putter around in the lab. As he unlocked the door, he thought how wonderful it would be to have a new laboratory. One that wasn't stuck clear down in one corner of a basement, one that didn't have its few little windows covered with shrubs from the outside, one that was completely equipped with all the latest scientific devices. But he soon stopped this idle thinking and started to work on a new experiment with all of the interest and enthusiasm of a true scientist. But wait-something went wrong-and crash! There was a big explosion. When he had finally recovered and found that he was still alive, his next thought was of his experiment, but to his amazement it was gone! The old room had gone too, and in its place he found himself in a large bright, new room. Yes, it was a chemistry laboratory for there in front of him were two rows, each czntaining seven newly equipped tables which were all facing one big long table at which he was sitting. The tables were built like a T. There were two drawers on the left-one filled with clean, new, glisten- ing, glass utensils, and on top, there was a flask, beaker, thistle tubs, watch glass, gradu- ate, and many other supplies. On the right there were also two drawers, like those on the left. Below these four drawers in the middle were three other drawers which acted as a support to the top. The first one was filled with tho unbreakable instruments such as the Bunsen burner, triangle, forceps, test tube holders and others. Below this were two other drawers each equipped with a lock and key for the pupils who used the table. The table tops were black and each side was equipped with a gas jet and a ring stand. Two little chairs were also at each table. On the west side were seven cupboards where the various supplies were kept and also a blackboard where the pupils received their in- structions, while the east side was made up of large windows. Upon further investigation a little dark room was found which was for those who were interested in photography. Don was almost overwhelmed by all of this, and he could just see himself at the head table issuing forth the various explanations and instructions to the pupils before him. Again I ask, do dreams ever come true? If you doubt this one which I have just told you, go up to Room 27 some day after school, and there you will see the same identical chemistry lab, and most likely Professor Davis. C. F. '41, if-l 5' BEARS GROWL THREATINGLY IN REMODELED GYM The gymnasium had its face lifted this year. Although the seating capacity remained about the same, new seats were built and a new electric scoreboard and time clock was installed in the west end of the gym, adding greatly to the improvement of the gym. The playing court was widened about five feet. This change, although a handicap at first, was easily overcome by the members of the team. In the southwest corner of the gym, a kitchen was built. This kitchen has been used several times for banquets and lunches which were held in the gym. Also the concessions at the games were dispensed from this part of the gym. The new seating arrangement, the scoreboard and clock, and the kitchen have im- proved Bryan High School's gymnasium very much, and the alumni and underclassmen look forward to more successful seasons.

ZETA CORDIA STAFF 'V V 'LI-lot cross buns! Hot cross buns Y shouted the Simple Si- mons of the annual staff at its first coming-out party this summer. Many individuals who wit- nessed the swimming pool dedication observed the Will- ing co-operation of this stu- dent group. This spirit was evident throughout the year as it is only through close co- opreation of the staff that this business can be conduct- ed. Although perhaps the an- nual staff should only be con- cerned with putting out the yearbook, it seems our big- gest worry is making money. We had all sorts of schemes- some which were good and could be carried out and some which had to be shelved. Every member of the staff is an important unit toward a good book. This is a year- book presented by the seniors and we have tried to gain the interest of each member of the class of '40 - soliciting them for write-ups and volun- tary material. Finally with a sigh of relief on our part the book is published. We, the Simons of the Zeta Cordia, hope it presents a true picture of our past four years as well as some interest to each stu- dent of B. H. S. Treasure it and show it with pride to others in future years, for it is your yearbook. HI- LIFE VV This year. as in the past. Hi-Life has tried to serve the interests of the student body. Throughout the year it has been printed every two weeks in four, six, or eight pages. Columns were used far more this year than in the past. Norma Julie Calvin, alias Emmy Lou, advised various scholl students on problems of love and etiquette, while two of the columns Man About Town and Stuff had quite a popular feud during the year. In the latter part of the year Mose Isaac turned out lVIosez in his tor per-- haps we should say Arch Ward'sJ unique style. The purpose of the news- paper is to bring up-to-date news to the students in an in- teresting fashion. The staff tried to keep the articles peppy and cover all the news accurately. There was usual- ly a picture featured in the issue which added to the at- tractiveness of the paper. To liven up the school atmos- phere there were some car- toons printed at various in- tervals and a number of good jokes. One of the unique things of the Hi-Life this year was the advertising before the issue. The circulation staff put col- orful announcements on the board with chalk and also posted cardboard notices which caught the eye of many a student. Although most of the work was done by the staff, the stu- dent body should be given credit for handing in a 'num- ber ot' interesting articles. The paper is a member ot' the Quill and Scroll Society.

CHORUS One hundred fellows and girls and a man, Mr. Capen, who very capably directed this large group of students, met every Monday and Wednesday except when the time for the A Cappella to go to the state contest rolled around. However, after the contest this body resumed its ac- tivities. The annual Christmas concert was held in the latter part of December and it was, as usual, a big success. The participants in t.his concert worked hard for several weeks previous to the con- cert in order to make the event the success which it was. In the middle part of May the annual spring concert was held to the enjoyment of all who attended. Bryan High School can well be proud of its musical organizations under the capable direc- tion of Mr. Capen. B. H. S. TOMMY TUCKERS The members of the A Cappella have received training this year that they will never forget. Appreciation of good music and a knowledge of it is of immeasurable value. The music sung this year was an excellent selection of religious, classical, and light music. Mr. Capen has taught the choir how to sight read, follow directions on the music, and recognize time signatures, all of which is necessary in singing and even in appreciating music. This years A Cappella encountered many difficulties and has overcome them commendably. Over 20 members of the choir were new and untried, but through careful attention and hard work they have earned their places in the A Cappella. Rehearsals were started almost six weeks after school began and concert work began immediately. The choir first sang this year at the Christmas concert where it was received very favorably. It next sang a religious program at the United Brethren Church and later it sang at the Masonic Temple for the Horse Breeders' Association. On February 12 it sang a program of light songs forthe Republican banquet. Also included in the year's activities was an assembly program at which the choir sang the two district contest numbers, April Ts In My Mistress' Face and Phyllis On March 15th the choir went to the contest at Bluffton. Although the choir was defeated at Bluffton, everyone feels that the A Cappella of 1939-40 carried on the high reputation established by Mr. Capen's hard work with previous choirs. All choir mernbers have sincerely enjoyed working with Mr. Capen and feel that it has been a very worthwhile year in music. A. N. '41. QQ, L U B. H. S. LITTLE BOY BLUES Confucius say, Practice makes perfect. The band followed this old adage quite closely, both before and after the opening of school. Since school didn't open until September 18, and the first game was scheduled the 16th, We had to get in a great deal of practice the preceding week. With marching drill in the mornings and playing prac- tice in the afternoons and evenings We began to shape up pretty well. This year Lana Cary, Carl Wolfe, Ned Frisbie, and Carolyn Everlvart assisted our regulars, Bob Sharrock and Loel Ritchie, in the drum major department. The girls wore white silk, and the boys wore white ducks and purple shirts. Since the close of the football season, we have been working en concert music, namely Bach Chorales. The Junior Band has been organized for approximately one year. Because of the rigid rules and hearty enthusiasm together with the co-operation of the parents, the or- ganization has progressed rapidly. Several from this group were permitted to fill the vacancies left by last year's graduates. The band numbers 70 players, all of Whom have learned that practice can bring pleasure and will eventually lead to fine performance. Although very little is heard of this combination of players, the future of the High School Band depends entirely upon the work of this group. All in all the band has had a very successful year, and we who leave it this year extend our best wishes for its continued success. P. T. '40. 2.

Miss Bowland Since the Girl Reserves was organized in 1924 by Mrs. Newcomer with Mrs. Mar- garet Myers as adviser, the club has grown from 14 charter members, into an organiza- tion with a membership of 91. It has not only grown in membership, but it has also grown in purpose. This year one of the aims was to get better acquainted with the town in which we live. Every six weeks one meeting was devoted to learning more about Bryan. Of course the annual G. R.-Hi-Y hunt was a success this year as we won for a change. Two of our most outstanding programs were the Mother and Daughter Ban- quet and the Senior Breakfast. Although not completed for occupation this year, much work has been done on the old Ag room, redecorating it for use as a club room next fall. In behalf of the Senior Girl Reserves I wish much luck to the future Girl Reserves. J. B. '40. HI -Y President .,.,,,,,.....,...,w.. ...,.....,...,,.... .w,7.,...

Wagner The purpose of the Hi-Y Club is to create, maintain, and extend throughout the school and community high standards of Christian char- acter. The Hi-Y Club is affiliated with the Y. M. C. A., and the local chapter is just one of the many different clubs lc-cated in the various high schools throughout the nation. At the close of the 1939-40 school term the Hi-Y Club can look back on the activities of the past year with satisfaction and feel that it has been a year well spent. Some of the boys attended the Hi-Y Camp, Camp Todd, at Brink Haven, Ohio, last summer. As usual the club had a wide variety of programs which consisted of several interesting talks by faculty mem- bers, local ministers, and business meng also Bible discussions, church meetings, and recreational programs. Once again the annual pencil campaign was carried out successfully. 'I'he club, consisting of 35 members, sold 1000 pencils in approximately 10 days. This, along with several successful programs in which the mem- bers took part, gives ample proof of the wholesome co-operation of offi- cers, members, and faculty adviser. W. J. M. '-11.

It is a national organization, having chapters 111 every state in the union as Well as in Hawaii, Alaska, and the Philippine Islands. The motto of the Future Farmers is, Learning to do, doing to learn, learning to live, living to serve. The chapter has participated in many worth while activities this year. The boys exhibited their projects and erected a booth at the county fair, and in October the group sent a team to the district corn husking contest. ln December they entered the county-wide Pest Hunt, and the club, co- operating with the F. H. A., had charge of the program for one session of the Farmers' Institute. The chapter is planning to send a judging team to Columbus in June to participate in the state judging contest at the Ohio State University. G. H. D. 140.

This organization was started some years ago by Mrs. Mallory when she was teaching here. The purpose of the club is to further the interests of commercial work in order that students may have a little practical knowledge of business affairs before undertaking a job in this field. In order to fulfill this ob- jective we have business men and women in the community address the club to enlighten the future stenographers and bookkeepers. These talks inform the members of Twin Arts in many matters which are of great interest to these girls and boys who will soon have access to them. This club is not all work and no play. There was a delightful party given in the gymnasium at which abundant refreshments were served, and everyone had a good time dancing. D. F.

Hauger The work of the Mask and Sandal Dramatic Club has been very successful this year. The annual play, Our Town, which was viewed rather skeptically at first due to its un- usual plot and setting, proved to be one of Mr. Hauger's best productions, bringing a larger crowd than had ever before attended a Mask and Sandal play. The bi-monthly meetings have been held regularly with very good programs of readings, music, and games. The 12 new members who were taken into the club in the fall show very promis- ing talent for the coming years. N- P- '40- Peace on Earth-Good Will Toward Men? Ah, yes! November 5 and 12, the annual Prince of Peace Contest. These nights are well remembered by all members of the Speech Class. For on November 5 seven scared and shakey contestants voiced their memorized pleas for world peace. Jum Kunkle, a windy and able speaker, carried off honors and a handsome bronze medal for his vocal efforts of the evening. One week later another contingent of speakers, as scared and stage struck as the first group, delivered their eulogies for peace. This night there were nine contestants. Gill Gillespie, even though he had a slight lapse of memory, was chosen winner by the judges. December 5 was the night chosen for the County Contest held at the Methodist Church in Montpelier. Both boys came through to win high honors- Jum first place, Gill third. What a night for Mr. Hauger! His expert coaching and advice was reap- ing rewards. Quoting Mr. Hauger, A couple of good speakers-some good judges- and I have two winners. Jum', went on to the District Meet at Defiance, only to be eliminated because of greater competition. H- G- '41- OUR TOWN This play is called Our Town. It was written bv Thornton Wilder and is produced by the Mask and Sandal Dramatic Club. The name of Our Town is Grover's Corners, New Hampshire, just over the line from Massachusetts-latitude 70 degrees and 37 min- utes-longitude 42 degrees and 40 minutes. This speech introduced something entirely new to the play lovers of our community. As the crowd began to gather, they were greeted by an empty stage-bare of all scenery and the usual stage equipment. By the use of their imagination they visualized a small town before them. The characters were introduced to them and the audience was taken into their homes. The audience enjoyed the every-day happenings of small town life, and they watched the bov and girl grow up, fall in love, and get married. Then the audience was taken to the graveyard where the characters that had lived during the first two acts were still in death. Our town will not forget Our Town for a long time. The realness of the play can- not be forgotten nor can the philosophy and down to earthnessf' Our Town is the difference between realism and reality.

The Zetagathean flag was red and green and the Concordia flag was black and yellow. There was no discrimination among the students and everyone belonged to one or the other. Programs by each club were put on, one eac'1 month. The programs were largely miscellan- eous, consisting of 0119-3Ct plays, debates, music, and readings. The clubs also sponsored track meets, basketball games, and other athletic events. There was some rivalry between the clubs but this was mostly in fun and little harm was done. Once the Zetes painted the pump at the south side of Park School red and green and beyond quarreling over whose flag was going to fly over the school, they got along pretty well. In 1914, the first year-book was published. From the Zetagatheans and Concordians the an- nual was given its name. These two clubs continued their activities a few years more, but gradu- ally they died out. MIOIIIJGN Here are the past editors of Zeta-Cordia: 1914 BYRON SHAFFER 1923 PAUL KRONE 15115 LUCIA R.

This year Ll11Cl6I' the capable guidance of Mr. Robrock three distinct clubs have been formed. The Radio Club, or better known to most of us as the hams, has been trying to master the continental code, which is the main requisite for obtaining a license. Along with our efforts we have been soaking up a few fundamentals of radio theory and practice. The club hoped to license a few of its members by spring or early summer. The Shutter-bugs or Photography Club ls, in numbers, far superior to the Radio Club. They enjoy their dark room and the success derived from it. Talks, forums, and field trips make up their interesting programs. All of its members are becoming quite proficient in the art of photo finishing. Many of the pictures in this annual were taken, developed, and finished by the club or its members. The largest of tlie three clubs is known as the Aviation Club. This club, under the leader- sfhip of its president, Dick Thomas, has learned agreat deal, and some of the members are taking flying lessons and ground work. The interesting work they have undertaken includes the me- chanical makeup of the planes and its engines.

Garrison of the State Department of Education visited Bryan High School. He found the general condition of the buildings and grounds satisfactory. The following were also listed as satisfactory: Administration, instruction, teaching staff, library, science, com- mercial, music, art, agriculture, English, social science, mathematics, and languages. The home economics, industrial arts, and agriculture rooms and equipment were rated as distinctive. It was stated that the new science laboratories, the home economics rooms, and the shops are on a par with the best in the state. However, the State Department recommended that some class rooms in the old building be redecorated and that a course in health instruction be included as a part of the physical education program. Bryan High School is still continued on the list of first grade schools approved by the State Department of Education. AMERICAN LEGION ESSAY CONTEST The senior essay contest was sponsored by the Charles E. Arnold Post No. 284 of the Amer- ican Legion. The junior contest was sponsored by the American Legion Auxiliary. The winners were as follows: Senior boys, John Cotterman, Junior Isaac, Bob Six, Senior girls, Mary Schuck, Jeanette Beavers, Marjorie Clark, Junior boys, Gerald Brannan, Jack Oxen- rider, Junior girls, Mary Lucille Weaver, Eugenia Schwartzbek. Mary Lucille Weaver's essay was exceptionally well done and accordingly won first place for Junior girls in the district. The subject for the essays was The Bill of Rights-My Protection. The Bill of Rights is the name given to the first 10 amendments of our national Constitution. These amendments pro- vide for and protect each and every citizen of these great United States. To the Legion and the Auxiliary we extend our thanks for this opportunity to tell what The Bill of Rights means to us. SENIOR SCHOLARSHIP TEST On March 30 at 9 o'clock 25 Seniors reported to the study hall for the annual state scholar- ship tests. These tests included English grammar, English literature, science, mathematics, and social science. When a student was finished he could leave. Ten days later the results were pub- lished. Four of our contestants ranked within the top 25 per cent of the county. These students and their rankings were: Joyce Tolman third, Junior Isaac fourth, Junior Spletzer seventh, and Virginia Tawney eighth, more Bryan students placing than any other town in the county. 1940 BOWLING GREEN TESTS Twenty-four Bryan High School students competed at Bowling Green State University on Saturday morning, May 4, in the annual District State Scholarship tests, sponsored by the Ohio Department of Education. The 10 highest ranking students in each subject receive certificates of award, those from Bryan being as follows: Algebra, LaVerna Wilson seventh, American History, Miriam Rubel, ninth, Chemistry, Don Davis, first, English I, Barbara Hawk, eighth, French I, Mary Lucille Weaver, eighth, French 2, Joyce Tolman, 10th. Inasmuch as Bryan competed as a city school against the large cities in northwest Ohio, the above awards make a very creditable record.

Taylor, has been coaching for eight years. He has spent the last two years in Bryan where he has developed championship teams in football, basketball, and track. His even tem- per and his understanding of the athletes has brought him the respect of both fans and players. No doubt his having won letters in both high school and college athletics has a great deal of influence in his work with the fellows who constitute our athletic teams. During his eight years of coaching there have been only two boys who have suffered broken bones under his very capable coaching. Coach Taylor is married and has a 3-year-old daughter, who, no doubt, will be one of her father's most ardent fans. Pop was so busy scouting other football games this year that he saw only two of the Bryan games. As a result of his efforts the Bears were able to work up a defensive play which effectively stopped most of their opponents. He is assistant to Coach Taylor and this year coached junior high and freshman basketball. In addition to his coaching he is much in demand for officiating other games. He teaches several subjects and has charge of two study halls. He was a letter man in all the sports in which he participated. He also won a letter in debate. This shows that he is very convincing in his manner. Mr. Geer likes animals and has a cocker spaniel named Sandow. He, his wife, and Sandow reside on Vine Street in Bryan. THE BEARS FOOTBALL The 1939 football squad of Bryan High School brought the league championship back to Bryan for the first time since 1936. A fast, shifty backfield and a hard charging line were responsible for its success on the gridiron last fall. The Bears rolled over Woodward, Lima Central, Wauseon, Liberty Center, Montpelier, Bowling Green, and Napoleon. They lost to a superior Fremont eleven and had an off night down at Fostoria. Who can forget their comeback in the last quarter over at Defiance that clinched a share of the league championship? Four boys won berths on the all-league team-two out of the backfield and two from the line. The squad worked hard during the season and it possessed a scoring punch that swept its foes off their feet early in the games. The prospects for next year are none too bright due to the fact that nine lettermen are lost by graduation-three from the backfield and six from the line. However, Coach Taylor is looking forward to another successful season next year, and we all hope that his wishes may be fulfilled and more honor brought to Bryan Hi.

BOOSTERS Many new clubs were formed this year of which one of the most popular was Boosters The primary purpose of this club was to have an organized cheering section that would be second to none. The Club met every other Thursday in the study hall, and at the first of the year try-outs for cheerleaders were held for the under-classmen who were interested. New motions were practiced with old yells as well as new ones by our cheerleaders-Junior lsaac, Margaret Ackerman, and Betty Keeler. Most of the later pep sessions were planned and executed by this group Whose faculty adviser was Miss Moore. Officers elected by the group were Mary Louise Decker, president, and Doro- thy McCord, secretary. May Boosters have in the future as much and more success than they had in the past year. M. D. '40.

Jack started public basket- ball down in the fifth grade with the Midgets, under Don Ogden, so basketball has played an important part in his life all through school. We, therefore, bid adieu to a grand basketball player, a level-head- ed captain, and a swell fellow. 6 BOB ROBINETT - We feel that much credit should go to Jud, a junior. At the first of the season it was difficult for him to keep level headed when the referees or other players performed in a way con- trary to his way of thinking. Throughout the year Jud', attempted to overcome this difficulty and succeeded in becoming a model player with his natural ability to play good basketball. Q BART CHRISTMAN - Bryan's center this year was extremely valuable as a pivot man, sinking many shots to add up valuable points. Bart, just a junior, aids us to believe that B. H. S. should have an excellent team next year with added hono1's. 0 WARREN HARDING-This fellow, bet- ter known as Alki, was a noble addition to the team. Although he wasn't able to play often, his chatter from the sidelines aided his team mates immensely. An- other product of the Midgets, Alki de- serves recognition for his loyal support of basketball as an outstanding sport in B. H. S. Liberty Center Howe tlnd.J . Wauseon Angola .. Defiance . .

He is so small that he can get away with many plays that larger boys could not. Dick also had train- ing with the undefeated Midget team and has played on the first team for four years. Dick was high scorer in the league due to his ability to sneak the ball into the bucket so often while the other players were still at the other end of the floor. A senior, Dick leaves B. H. S. this year, and the students have lost a good basketball player as well as a likeable boy. 0 BOB HAUGER - This was Bob's first year in a varsity position and he handled it commendably. Being unusually indis- pensible as a defensive man, he helped the team to win by preventing the opponents from scoring. Although he unselfishly handed the ball to others to shoot, when necessary he sank some beautiful shots. Keep it up, boy, and lead Bryan to victory next year. HOWARD BERGMAN - Bergy was our first substitute, often being in the starting line-up. His cool playing and ability to cope with unexpected situations were much admired by his team mates. Again may we say, here's good material for next year's team. 0 PHIL SMELTZ-Phil was a great help to his team with his cheers from the sideline and his dependable activity when called upon to go into the game. Especially when the second team needed help, Phil did not hesitate to play with them, show- ing his ability to handle the ball. Phil also played with the Midgets, showing promise even then. B I-I S BEARS IN BASKETBALL l l With perhaps the most capable talent Bryan has ever produced the quintet this year wa-- almle to subdue the greater majority of their opponents. In token of their esteem the sports writers named several to the All-League team. The Bears, who finished second in the league, attracted many enthusiastic followers in the remodeled gym. At the district tournament they were runners-up for the championship receiving a beautiful trophy and individual silver keys. The ovation that greeted the boys as they received their letters was a fitting climax to a sue- cessful season. 'PICLIICII TIP OFF FOUR IVIICN ON A BALI.

We have always had a well balanced track team and this year was no exception with our boys always placing well. The tennis team practiced for several weeks prior to the season, showing their enthusiasm for the sport. GIRLS ATHLETICS This year a new athletic association was formed, the Girls' Athletic Council. All the ot't'icers ot' the six clubs which the Council organized, two officers from the Boosters Club, and two repre- sentatives from the dressing room made up the group. The Council met every Monday night. under the leadership of Miss Moore, who was responsible for organizing the association. Virginia Tawney was president of the Council, Donnabel Kerr was secretary, and Mary Decker was in charge of the publicity and bulletins. The Council organized six athletic clubs-Dancing, Bowling, Riding, Hiking, Roller Skating, and Bicycling. These clubs were established for recreation and improvement in the sports they repa- resented: all had a large membership restricted to physical education students. The Council also sponsored several individual sports such as badminton, tumbling, shuffle board, ping pong, and handball in gym classes. One day a week the whole class played volley ball, basketball, or a similar sportg the other day the class was divided into groups ot' tour, and during the period the groups played two games. Besides having these sports, one day a month was spent in dancing. In the fall and spring the classes met outside and participated in such sports as base- ball and kick ball. The interclass basketball and volley ball games were dropped this year: however, a basketball tournament was held in each gym class. The victors of each class met in a final tournament, and the sophomore team defeated the junior and senior team. Through the work of the Athletic Council and Miss Moore the girls of B. H. S. were enabled to participate in a larger variety of sports. E. G. Vttl.

THE HALLOWE'EN DANCE Two old witches putting a bloody feminine head into the caldron! A huge black cat and a haunted house! Ghosts, bats, and tombstones! Such were the decorations of the Hallowe'en dance designed by the Art Class. Many students swung out to the rhythm of Eck Greer's fine band while others played cards or watched the orchestra. Our own Ann Scott was featured as vocalist and Jack Little on the drums provided much of the eVening's entertainment. The Freshman Reception, due to our late start, was incorporated into this dance: so, as a mixer, there was an autograph bingo game. Many new friends were made in the course of the evening and many thought it the best Freshman Reception in the an- nals of Bryan High. ffifif THE CORONATION DANCE The first football queen Bryan High School has ever had was Doreen Flinn, who presided at the Thanksgiving game with her two attendants, Norma June Calvin and Ann Scott. The next evening Doreen was crowned at the Coronation Dance by Jack Brace, football captain. After a short program for the queen's entertainment Eck Greer swung into the opening dance. This dance was also given in honor of the football team with all members being admitted free. Again the art class provided clever decorations on the walls of the gym with golden bears kicking the pigskin around and cheer leaders at the goal posts. As in the case of the Hallowe'en dance the annual staff was accredited for giving the school a dance worthy of remembrance. ifffff THE MARDI GRAS Sing a song of five pence Pocket full of tickets. So might start a nursery rhyme depicting our Mardi Gras. One of the largest car- nival crowds in B. H. S. history was present on Friday night, March 29, when Carol Cullis and Bob Ensign were crowned King and Queen of the Mardi Gras. Nine organizations sponsored stands offering entertainment of various sorts on the main floor of the gym. Another organization offered refreshments in a tea room, also there were movies, ping-pong, games, and a puppet show. All receipts went to the an- nual staff to produce this book. . At 10 o'.c1ock each night the gym was emptied and the crowd adjourned to the audi- torium to witness five bouts of boxing. After this the Melody Boys swung into the dance in the cleared gym. aff ,-J.. -i 7? fi' V' Q :x :hx f -ffm lf! N 5..1i4:1 ' ' V- , ix I wr qu. .r 1 . Eff , ' x iii ' iw- J, ,, l .

One doesn't realize how much school has meant until it comes time to graduate. This year we have had many outstanding features accompanying our graduation. The J unior-Senior on May 11th was enjoyed by all, for those who didn't care to dance gained pleasure from the banquet, a new idea in B. H. S. This year the Senior play acquired a Friday night date making it more convenient for play lovers. The date was May 31st-the play, A Pair of Sixesf' The cast is seen at the top of this page. Thus our activities were spread out more than usual. The climax came on June 6th at our graduationg our speaker was Dr. Frank Sayer of New York City. Then on June 7th we were treated as members at the Alumni Dance, our first taste of life out of high school. Where now? Such is the topic of many talks. To be different let's look back. What have we gained from 12 years' schooling? Not much of the factual knowledge to which we've been exposed has been absorbed by us. However, it has stirred deep trains of thought in many of our minds. leaving us with some experience of settling problems pertaining to our interests. We should now be able to shift for ourselves in life, for school is but a testing ground where we try our wings to see in which field we are most adapted. We are now ready to go forth as full-fledged members of the Club of Hard Knocks. Let's dig in with a smile on our faces and a song in our hearts. We are educated!
