The Class of l928 have not been the least interesting. You leave the High School with a creditable record-a willingness to coop- erate with the teachers ancl among yourselves. Honesty, industry and common sense are the prime requisites for successful living. You have these qualities in a large measure. Sincerely, C. A.

Many times during the week he opens the building so that all the different organizations can have their meetings. In addition he mows the lawn, repairs all broken articles. and many other things he does, willingly. Many times we wish to find a certain book, or have seats reserved for the ball games or the lecture courseg it is then that we seek Mr. Craig's office.

Wi W l gil OUR FACULTY In our dear old school of Columbian High There's one man who's known to every eye, For hels superintendent-and oversees all, His name's Mr. Krout as you'll surely recall. In Principal Martin we all have a friend ' Who,s helped solve our troubles right through to the end. When absent-he gave us a little' white slip. When present-our gift was a smile from each lip. In Spanish and French, no one can surpass Our Margaret M. Miller, beloved by each class. The Latin students seldom played, Instead, they studied for Miss Wade. And Mr. VVilliams we name here, He teaches events of yesteryear, And others, too, we here must put, Miss Arnold and Miss Emma Dutt. This year Miss Engles crossed the sea Instead of teaching stenography. While she was gone we missed her so, But Mrs. Beckwith we came to know. A fancy writer, a good musician, L. S. Foght, the Mathematician. Though Mr. Welty we seldom see He's teaching Carpenters-to-be. Mr. Lutz and Mr. Baily, two learned men of high degree, Teach the science of physics, and that of chemistry. Miss Hartmann, like a mother dear, Fills each dreary day with cheer. Miss Bastian has charge of each musical lass, While Miss Rosenberger reigns in the English class. To learn the art of keeping books, Each student to Mrs. Kelbley looks. And now Miss Koller, with all the rest, Helps make our faculty of the best. And Mr. Craig we'll never forget Who, in the halls, we often met. Now to our school we bid adieu. Oh, teachers dear, we'll all miss you. We thank you for the things youlve done To make our life a happy one. And as we start upon lifels way VVe see a road that's not all play. But-win or lose-if we go right We'll know 'twas you who helped us iight. A , -Madeline Wetter x if f 1 Q ax! I Q 9 x si J xx W ' 'W ' w g- , 1w,,,Q fH' f f Vf 1ugfw ' , f f S f 9 ,Q.

SENIOR CLASS HISTORY All the world's a stage, And all the men and women merely players: They have their exits and their entrancesg And one man in his time plays many parts. In September of 1924 one hundred sixty-two boys and girls took up the new part of happy, carefree students in dear old Tiffin High. Our happy state of mind was not marred by the presence of upper-classmen for we freshies held full sway in the new Junior High School build- ing. Our participation in high school activities was limited to the football team where we were ably represented by Jimmie Sertell. Our gala event was a class party held in May. The following September we entered Columbian High as Sophomores and immediately found that it would be best for us to be seen and not heard. We elected: John Niederhauser-.--.- ..-..... President Robert Allman ....... .... V ice President Ruth Anderson ....................... Secretary Joseph Martin -....................... Treasurer and Ruth Homan, Ward Creeger and Brewer Pearson to the Tiffinian Staff. After Jimmie Sertell and Aaron Warner helped to make a win- ning football team we again began to feel our importance. We choose Purple and Gold as our class colors, the Lavender Sweet Pea as our Hower, and the motto, Knowledge with Labor is Success. We were well represented in all activities including Boys' and Girls Basketball, Dramatic Club, Glee Club and the Literary Societies. Our real coming out party was a Sophomore Prom. Although there was salad to spare, no one suffered any ill effects from the party, so the upper-classmen began to realize we were past the green stage. Juniors! Oh, that grand and glorious feeling! We were no longer under-classmen and yet we still had a year of pleasure to look forward to. We began the year right by electing these officers: John Niederhauser .......-............ President Joseph Martin .................... Vice President Ruth Anderson -...... .- ....-...,...... Secretary Alice Rohrer .-......-...........-.... Treasurer The Tiffinian Staff claimed Anabel Smith, Bernice Gear, Bern- ard Rosenblatt, and Clair Fletchnerg the football team, Paul Cleveland, Johny Neiderhauser, Joe Kinney, Jim Fletchner, Jerry Feaglesg the basketball teams, Mary Lou Conrad, Elizabeth Chamberlain, Madeline Wetter, Bob DeMuth, Johny Neiderhauser and Fred Wolnickg the track team, Samuel Gibson, Johny Neiderhauser, and Bob DeMuth, debate, Georgia Greek, Helen McElheny, Ruth Anderson, Robert All- man, and John Neiderhauser, and many others belonged to the Girl's Glee Club, Dramatic Club, Band, Orchestra, Girl Reserve, Hi-Y, Science Club, Literary Societies, and Girls' Hiking Club. 12 Z Q.: f-41 fy 3 Ei ll in H Q., KJ ., .M - M 41 ln preparation for the annual Junior-Senior Banquet a very suc- cessful moving picture show was given and the best Junior Fair in Tiffin High History was held. The result of this work was the most elegant party ever given a Senior Class. Everything was perfect from the banquet, which was served in state style, to the ball which fol- lowed. And now-we are Seniors! Under-classmen-all together: YEA-SENIORS I! To guide us through this busy year we chose as President ..... -. ............... Paul Cleveland Vice President ...............-...

Bernard Rosenblatt Gold and Blue Staff: Mildred Burman, Helen McElheny, Geor- gia Greek, Elizabeth Chamberlain, Robert Allman, John Neiderhauser, Frank Fassler, and Bernard Rosenblatt. Tiffinian Staff: Ruth Anderson, Marion Wagner, Alice Rohrer, Clair Fletchner, and Edward Lee. W'e congratulate Jerry Feagles on the way in which he captained the football team, and Bob DeMuth, the basketball team. Others who won the coveted T were: Johnny Neiderhauser, Paul Cleveland, Jimmy Sertell, Bernard Rosenblatt, Aaron Warner, Joe Kinney, Harold Disler, and Jim Fletchner. In debate we were represented by Mildred Burman, Robert All- man, John Neiderhauser, and Harry Otto. We also had members in Band, Orchestra, Girls' Glee Club, Girl Reserves, Hi-Y, Science Club, Dramatic Club, and Track. VVe congratulate Mildred Burman and Georgia Greek, who have the honor of being Valedictorian and Salutatorian, respectively. Bernice Gear and VVard Creeger led us in cheering our teams to victory. February 3rd was the date of our Senior Prom which was an en- joyable event of our last school year. Equally as delightful was the lovely banquet given in our honor by the Junior Class on May 4th. Rev. Homer W. Courtney gave usa wonderful message in the Baccalaureate Sermon on June 3rd. Class Night, June 4th, was marked by a clever play, Come Out of the Kitchen. Now-Graduation! and we are ready to begin a new part on the stage of Life. To those who have helped in the past we give our sin- cere thanks. Goodby, old school! Goodby, each friend! Our carefree days Have reached their end. Some other part We now shall play- But in each heart These days will stay! -M. Madeline Wetter-Class of '28 X fj!1ff'4g2?fi?,f fi :fir-' . , 2' .

CHORUS We'll always love old Tiffin High School 'Tis there cur thoughts will e'er return, When we forget our friends and classmates Its for our high school days Weill yearn. 'When We come back and find it empty Of faces and teachers that We knew, VVe'll find that Tiffin High School Means more to me and you. H l 3 .-X P U SCHOOL CALENDAR Q-QQ' September There was a grand Rallying of Forces today when the corridors resounded again with merry voices of our old friends. Among the voices we seemed to detect new ones, but it did not take long to find they were pilgrims joining our happy circle-the Sopho- mores. VVe also soon discovered that these pilgrims had brought with them a splendid leader, Mr. Martin. -Our first assembly, and, oh, the noise from the balcony! Drizzle! Rain!! Pour!!! The Girl Reserves must have the Romany Patteran at the HY. Won't the Gypsies feel out of place? -We thought our new Chemistry teacher was going to be easy. Well, we've changed our minds. -I'm sure old Tiffin High will have lots of pep with our splendid new cheer leaders. -We launched the good ship Columbia into the turbulent waters of the Little Big Seven today in our first game with Wfillard. Al- though the sea was rough and we didn't make much headway, we are hoping for better weather in the future. October -The waves favored us this time, for they carried Tiffin High twelve leagues ahead and left Bellevue at her starting point. -Rev. Doyle announced the Peace Oratorical Contest to students in assembly. We were also favored by a few words from Mr. Frazier. I'm sure we were happy to hear from our former Pilot once more. -Another interesting talk was given by Major Harvey Haney, who served as an officer in the Italian Army during the World War. -By now our new friends the Sophomore, are becoming accustomed to their new home. It's about time though, for they have been roaming dazedly about for almost a month. -Lost: A perfectly good game to Sandusky at Columbian Field. W'ish we could add later: Finder please return to Tiffin High School. -Mr. Foghtis band displayed its unusual talent when it played for a ceremony at Calvert High. Also R. VV. Fenton, an ex-convict and now Y. M. C. A.. and high school worker, gave an interesting address in assembly. -Senior class elected its officers. Then, too, the Sophomores al- lowed the Freshmen to defeat them 30-0. Is that the way you're going to support old Tiffin High? Oberlin gained 19 leagues on Tiffin High, but we rowed hard. -The waves beat hard against our dear ship 'fColumbia.,' Libbey almost overcame us with her score of 39 to 0. VVe'll show them though for we are still strong and able to go on. V Ll , , 28-Bible classes began with Rev. Sidener as instructor. The boys are so kind as to allow the girls to enter this year. 29-Oh, didn't we show our ro-wing ability today by making a nice score of 12 to 0 against Kenton? November 1-Boy Scout Hallowe'en Party was a spooky event and produced lots of thrills. 7-13-American Education VVeek. 11-This is almost as memorable for Tiffin High as November 11, 1918. In the morning, at eleven o'clock, all the members reverently bowed their heads for two minutes in silent prayer. In the afternoon, the Columbia battled against Fremont and although we lost, it was such a good game that every one was happy. Or were we happy for our half-day of freedom? The evening was marked by the winning of the city Prince of Peace contest by Inez VVebster. 13-Education Week was brought to a climax by a very fitting and enjoyable address by Judge Platt. 18-Columbian High was sorrowfully and sadly saying good-bye to one of its most talented students, Joseph Martin, who left to spend the winter in Florida. 19-The Columbia returned to the harbor to rest for another year after a rather hard journey. We were defeated by Fostoria, but the boys played hard. lVIr. Cameron Beck, personal director of the New York Exchange, gave a most interesting talk in assembly. VVe all were greatly benefited by it. 24-26-Thanksgiving Vacation. Oh, but that turkey was good! 27-Absence? Oh, yes, there was an awful lot. Too much turkey, I guess. December Tiffin Hfgh has reasons to be proud again. Its representative, Inez Webster, won the Prince of Peace contest for the county. It was held in Bascom. Hurrah for Inez! 5-Football banquet at the Shawhan. Boy, aren't the eats good? Another speech, this time from William Rainey Bennett of the Lyceum Course. 20-The Science Club visited the Ohio Light and Power Company. 23-Did they expect us to know anything today? We hope not, for we'd hate to have them disappointed just before vacation. I guess they didn't expect much, for they entertained us with a lovely Christmas play and songs. W'e also had a program in which each room cleverly presented its contributions for the poor. Christmas greetings were exchanged and everyone happily hurried home. 23-Jan. 1-Christmas vacation. 25-Christmas Re- cu- per- 3- ting i January - VVhat did you get for Christmas? Oh, what did Jack send you? I just can't wait until I see it. These are some of the remarks heard on the first school day of the new year. -The score of 29 to 13 against Calvert High brought big success to our boys in their first basketball game. D -The debate tryouts were held. Rah! Rah! Debaters! -Inez Webster, the representative of our county in the Prince of Peace contest, gave her reading, VVha't Price Glory? in as- sembly today. Tiffin High defeated Bellevue with a score of 19-18. Exciting? Rather. -Inez became our district heroine this evening. Are we proud of her? I should say. -Naturalization Day an-:l the Seniors were happy. Miss Dutt took us to the Court House to hear the proceedings. -Friday the 13th. I'm sure that explains why Sandusky defeated us in basketball. Vxfhy, it must be, for this is the first game we've lost. -Oberlin 18-Tiffin High 21. Now I know our defeat last week was due to the unlucky day. - Oh, I know mine will be awfulf' I don't see why I take such terrible ones. I must hurry for I have an appointment at 3,:30. VVhy all the fussing? do you ask? Oh, they began taking Senior pictures today. -You're really going to study tonight? Oh, I see exams begin soon. I thought something must be wrong. February -Fostoria defeated Tiffin High 20-15. We can't help it, we did our best. -Tiffin High lost one of her faculty members, Miss Helen Engels, who sails today for a Mediterranean cruise of thirteen weeks. We hope she has an enjoyable trip, but we shall be anxious to have her with us again. -Senior Class Party. -Our game with Findlay was a real success, 41-15 in our favor. -The Seniors spent the entire day at the Court House hearing a trial. No, it wasn't a divorce case. -Norwalk 30-Tiffin High 23, but it was a good game. -The pupils were reseated in assembly. No one has a definite place so now there is always a grand scramble. -A new plan of programs once a week was started today. Miss Hartmann told us about her trip to Europe. She left us in the fogs of London, so we are in hopes that she will soon come to the rescue. -The pictures of the football men were taken. VVe were entertained by a radio program today, part of the time by Mrs. Damrosch's Symphony Orchestra, but a bigger part by Mr. Static. Q Basketball. Fremont 35-Tiffin High 28. We made them hustle though, for we were ahead until the last quarter. 21-Another special assembly. This was vocal and piano solos and reading. 22-We're glad Washington's birthday came on Wednesday. Another chance for a vacation. 23-I guess we defeated Calvert again. Any way the score was 28 -12 in our favor. 28-The annual Dramatic Club play. This year it was The Poor Nutf' It surely was worth seeing. 29-We are lucky. Not many classes have a February 29th. We also were entertained today by Mr. Foght's Orchestra. March 1--Mr. Bailey took his Chemistry classes to the Glass Factory. VVe'd like to know why he took us throush the long dark tuunel. Oh, it was spooky! 2-3-The basketball tournament at Mansfield. Although we didn't win a gold cup, we at least played in three games. 5-The valedictorian and salutatorian were announced to be Mildred Burman and Georgia Greek, respectively. VVe don't envy them their coming task. 6-The last of the Lyceum Course numbers, The Tyrolean Yodlersf' 7-The debaters gave their constructive speeches in assembly. All did splendidly. We wish them success Friday. 8-The Fremont faculty defeated the Tiffin faculty in basketball. 9-Hurrah! Both our debate teams won. Rah! Rah! Rah! The music contests were also held. However, only one orchestra was successful. 13-A public memorial was held for Mrs. Della Laird at the Y. M. C. A. in which the Hi-Y and Girl Reserves had a part. 14-15-16-History classes were taken through the Post Office. We learned many things from this. 16-A missionary gave us a talk about China. 21-In our 1:45 P. M. special program we were entertained by music, a book review and readings. 23-The Junior Frolic. W'e hope they made a lot of money because our menu at the Junior-Senior depends upon it. 26-Many students at Tiffin High heard something very unusual this morning. An evangelist, Mr. George Chenot, from the M. E. Church, played several beautiful melodies on a saw. He also en- tertained us with vocal solos and trombone solos. 28-We were favored by a band concert under the direction of Mr. Foght. 29-The halls were fairly buzzing all day long. Why? The Seniors were exchanging name cards. 30-A strange looking world awaited us this morning as we crawled from our soft, warm beds. The sleet had covered trees and wires until they touched the ground. Although it was a destructive sight, yet it was beautiful. There were no lights. And although . gm I' , ,-., ,. ,l - ii ,frrf 11-.yn A . L liar., P 1. f 5 'g fi? ' H.

They were flashing their new class rings. 11-Finally Miss Hartman rescued us from the London fogs and took us on some more of her interesting excursions in Europe. But worse than ever, now she has left us in the dark Catacombs in Rome. Help us out soon, please. The Senior Class chose Rev. Courtney to deliver the Baccalaureate Sermon. A 16-Joe came back to us again. The Florida sun has done him good at least he has a fine coat of tan-not a new spring top coat, either.. Miss Dutt took the Senior girls to a City Council meeting. She also took them through the City Jail and Fire Department. They prophesy that in the near future there will be fire Women instead of men in Tiffin. 18-The Senior boys were taken through the County Jail. Luckily they all came back. Tiffin High was honored by having the world's fastest typist give several demonstrations in assembly. 19-The Science Club gave a demonstration under the direction of Prof. Stinchcomb from the College.

T l ,, OUR CLASS QQQ Just four years ago, Though it seems but a day, We started to school As freshies so gay. We had lots of fung And said things like these: You have all your Latin, Oh, What's your name, please? When mere little Sophomores We entered high school We didn't act bold- Under upper-class rule! We just took our place As meek as could beg And studied and studied 0ur ge-om-etry. And then We expanded To Juniors-so bold. We didn't take orders! Indeed no! We told! VVe paled with the Seniorsg Our thoughts were like this: My nose is so shiny. I sure love that Miss! Then came the well-remembered day When Seniors We became. We didn't care to boss the kids That was so very tame. And as we hurried to and fro Such questions We'd address: W'hat college are you going to? Have you your Class Night dress? -Madeline Wetter 1 l v 'X 9 4 4 l Us L5 I B pf' ' 23- ,gxmnszgggm WEEE: Q , ' ' 2',1 P - -1 1 ., 4 V ' l v F'-'-2 ,f V 1 p i757 ' 1-n 1 f VWXX 4r 1 I 0!

The large enrollment of 176 with which we started as Freshmen has not been maintained. But what are numbers? 'Tis quality, not quantity, that does the work. We spent our Freshmen days at Junior High School and although our class was not organized we held our place in all activities of the school. The Tiffinian staff consisted of eight of our fellow-classmates. In the operetta, 'iThe Gipsy Rover, given that year under the super- vision of Miss Bastian, our class furnished some of the leading char- acters. The big event of the year was Freshman Class Night, which seemed almost like a graduation to us. VVe soon learned to love Columbian High and her teachers and found many friends among our new associates. As customary we organized our class and elected for our oiicersz Ralph Kiel, president, Vinnie Dolch, vice-president, Richard Stoner, secretary, and Donald Hart, treasurer. We choose scarlet and white as our colors, the red peony as our flower, and We Seek Wisdomf, as our motto. Our four representatives on the Tiffinian staff were Calena Crum, Ruth Courtney, Robert Gross and Edward Lautermilch. In athletics both the boys and girls shone. The girls were champions of the High School. Three of our classmates were on the debate teams. The principle parts of the operetta, The Bell of Barcelona, were taken by four of the members of our class. The class party held in May, a very enjoyable affair, will long be remembered by all who attended. We have now advanced another step in our ladder of education and are Juniors. We elected our officers as follows: President, Donald Hartg vice-president, Richard Stoner, secretary, Margaret Wetzelg and treasurer, Richard Murray. Those chosen for the Titfinian staff were Calena Crum, Ruth Courtney, Ralph Kiel and Edward Lautermilch. The April number of the Tiiinian was published by the Juniors. Inez Webster and Ruth Grossman were our debaters for this year and were very successful. This is an especially busy year for the class as they have to think of so many ways to make money to banquet the Seniors. The class sponsored the basket-ball game played between the faculty of Col- umbian High and the faculty of Fremont High. Then too-a Junior Night was held in March at which time the women of the faculty played the Junior girls' team in basket-ball and the men of the faculty played the Junior boys. After this the long-looked forward to Junior- Senior banquet was held, an aiair which marks a red letter day in the history of our class. The time will come again and soon for us to take another step. Let us go on always looking for something higher with the Song of the Grail Seekers in our hearts: On, on, on, with never a doubt nor a turning, - On, on, on, striving and aching and learning, With ever the light on our brows, in our hearts the unquench- able yearning, And the grail afar Bike a golden star Burning and burning and burning! -Ruth Courtney. , .,,.. y 3 I 'AV 4 7 NN 3 .X 4 e 9 gg 1 ig YW Vx 'R k ,X 'A I lixxsv X -4 5 A , J 1' f s ' ,IA ,a-Q A ' f fi t v V 11+-X A 51, rf! f E5 - - , . gg,- y.-gil V .hw ,A g h V Qu: v ,E 1?+'f 67 bi-1 ' , b T- 4' ,, , AA 1 1? 4.4.4 V? fs, b'- . 4 'i ' AK ' V Q K I 'ei-QL,--:X 4 S 'L Lf u Tl .-'i vy sfzfir- J 5 Magi' f gn 3091 100110 R 1125 Motto: Our Best For T.

During this year the class was not organized but was nevertheless well represented in the different activities of the school. The Freshman girls largely composed the Junior High Glee Club. Some of the mem- bers of the class joined the Junior High Orchestra and others joined the High School Band. The Junior High Tiffinian Staff was made up of eight Freshmen. The Slosson Science Club was formed with Mr. Zim- merman as adviser. In the Operetta, The Bell of Barcelona, several Freshmen had leading parts while many girls and boys sang in the cho- rus. Class night was the last affair at Junior High in which we had any part. Last September one hundred fifty-two entered Senior High as Sophomores. Among these one hundred forty had gone to Junior High. The rest came from other schools. The class was organized at the beginning of the second semester. The following officers were selected: President ...................... John D. Weller Vice President ............... Dorothy E. Smythe Secretary ..... .- ..... .......... F rank VVolfe Treasurer ........................ Mary Naylor Rose and Silver were chosen as the class colors, sweet peas as the class flower and Our best for T. H. S. as the motto. We shall earnest- ly try to live up to this. This year a number of Sophomore boys were out for football and several were on the basketball team. A majority of the girls' basket- ball team were Sophomores. Many of the girls belonged to the Glee Club. Four of our class- mates were in the sextettes which took part in the musical contest. Some of the class members joined the band and orchestra which also took part in the contest. The class was represented in debate as it had John D. Weller as a speaker and Frederick Kriete as alternate on the Negative Team. In the Dramatic Club play, The Poor Nut, several Sophomores took part. The social event of interest to all was the party on May 18th. In June we bid good-bye to school until we are Juniors. -Margaret Martin.

It was published eight times during the school year in the magazine form. Joseph Martin was chosen out of the four members from each class to serve as editor. Unfortunately Cfor usb Joe left for the south in the early part of the school year. His assistant was selected to serve as editor the remaining part of the school year. Edward Lee was chosen to take the position of assistant editor and was a ine addition to the stai. The Junior High School organized a staif, over which they placed Robert Bruce. They contributed good and interesting material. Credit should be given to them and their advisors for their share in making the magazine a success. The literary work of the Senior High was placed in the able hands of Ruth Anderson, Alice Rohrer and Miriam Wagner. These girls were responsible for the fine stories, poems, essays and book reviews. Ruth Courtney took care of the school news. This is a hard job but Ruth knew how to collect it, for the news department has in- creased considerably in the last year. The Exchanges were taken care of by Calena Crum. This column which is usually dry, was made very interesting. We get papers from all over the country. The athletics were reported by John Dennis VVeller. He contributed many fine articles for his section. Margaret Martin collected all the Alumni news. It was an inter- esting column, for one enjoys reading about our alumni and seeing what they are doing. The joke section was prepared by Dorothy Ellen Smythe and Ruth Anderson. It is no easy job to collect a number of fine jokes, for there are so many jokes of all types. Edward Lautermilch looked after the business end of the maga- zine. He took care of the money which the advertising managers collected from the advertisements. These hard working advertising men were Clair Flechtner, Fred Kriete and Edward Lee. Last but not least come the faculty advisors, Miss Miller, Miss Engels and Mrs. Kelbley, who graded all the material and checked upon what we did. The success of the magazine depends largely upon them. Many new things were done. Everybody worked as hard as he could. The magazine was not perfect by any means. There should be more people taking an interest in the Tiiinian and more should subscribe for it. The pupils who remain should strive to make the Tiffinian A Bigger and Better Paper, in every way, for everybody in 1929, -The Editor. 7' 'L w 4 THE BLUE AND GOLD STAFF Q05 The name Blue and Gold is a familiar one to all graduates and students of Columbian High School. The name signifies to them a last- ing record of the personnel, activities and achievements of the school year. VVe are all human and, therefore, are pleased to see in print the things which concern us. But in addition to this it is natural for us to desire to convince other people that our high school life in great, active, and splendid. In assembling the material for publication and getting the various assignments ready, we find ourselves holding our heads a little higher when the facts are before our very eyes and we realize that we are members of such a high school. At the close of the school year each student may get his copy of the Blue and Gold. This provides a lasting and valuable record and history of the entire school year with pictures to bring back memories of all the students and their activities. In publishing this annual the Blue and Gold StaH of 1928 have put forth all the effort, energy and originality they possess. They have spent many hours in the attempt to make it more attractive and to cause it to serve as a constant inspira- tion to live up to our high school ideals. May it furnish many joyful moments and bring back many pleas- ant memories to its readers. -Mildred Burman. Robert Allman ..... ...... E ditor in Chief Frank Fassler ...... ....

Weller Robert Allman Ruth Grossman Inez Webster John Niederhauser Harry Otto, Alternate Frederick Kriete, Alternate Marjorie Rosenberger, Debate Coach l DEBATE FOR 1927-28 QQQS To change or not to change- That is the question. Or rather that was the question which Tiffin High School debaters had to decide this year, and the curious thing is that they decided that both sides are right. At least, so we would believe from the results of the contests with Bowling Green and Fostoria on the question: Re- solved: That the practice of buying on the instalment plan, as devel- oped within the past ten years, has had harmful effects. The affirmative team, composed of Mildred Burman, Robert All- man, Inez Webster and Harry Otto, alternate, traveled to Bowling Green to persuade their opponents and listeners that the instalment plan is a most harmful practice. So thoroughly did they convince their audience of this belief that the judges voted unanimously for them, giving them a 3 to 0 decision to carry home with them. Fostoria came to Tiffin prepared to do the same thing but Tiffin set up an interference that was too stiff for even the veteran Fostoria debaters, who had won several debates on this same subject this year. The negative team was composed of John Dennis Weller, Ruth Grossman, John Niederhauser and Frederick Kriete, alternate. They sent Fostoria home suffering from a 2 to 1 defeat. , This double victory gave Tiffin first place in the annual triangle composed of Tiffin, Fostoria and Bowling Green, a position which she has not held for many years.

This was the seventh band Prof. Foght has organized since he came to Columbian High. The group of players this year was not large but mighty. The Band has played at all of the home football and basketball games this year and gave a concert in assembly, the 28th of March. This program which lasted one hour consisted of various selections, portraying the different parts of the Band in each. THE ORCHESTRA The Orchestra, under the direction of Prof. L. S. Foght, has had a very successful year. It was one of the largest orchestras the high school has ever developed. There were twenty-eight pieces and they were balanced extremely well. On the 29th day of February, the orchestra gave a program of various compositions in General Assembly, and it has played for many school and public functions during the year. we orchestra which went to Bowling Green to contest in the an- nual usical debate won.

The Glee Club under the direction of Miss Bastian has completed another successful year. Those who were interested in joining the Glee Club were called for tryouts at the beginning of the school year. After many a perilous ascent and descent of the scale Miss Bastian pronounced the fate of each.

We have done our part to make the May Festival a success by singing: Ave Maria by Frantz Abt with Georgia Greek and Mary Etta Miller taking the solo parts. Trees by Oscar Rasbach. The senior girls of our club bid farewell to the Glee Club by sing- ing with the other girls at the graduation activities. It is the object of the Glee Club to promote an appreciation of music throughout the high school and it gives an opportunity to the girls who cannot otherwise de- velop their voices. We senior girls who can no longer take part in the activities of the Glee Club wish it many more successful years. ii J GIRL RESERVE Old OHicers President Helen McElheny Vice President Ruth Courtney Secretary Ruth Homan Treasurer Mildred Burman Program Committee Georgia Greek Service Committee Dorothy Gouker Social Committee Annabelle Martin New Officers Ruth Courtney Eva Duifey Annabelle Martin llflzfrgaret Vfetzel Dorothy DeBusman Margaret Martin Dorothy Ellen Smythe THE GIRL RESERVES QGQ Our club has grown from a membership of eleven to an organi- zation of one hundred and fifteen. The club has been very active this year. Two church services, one at the Methodist Protestant and the other at the Church of Christ, were given in March. At this time a ceremonial entitled, I am Come That They Might Have Life, was given by the club. At a meeting for Mothers and Daughters, a pageant, The Quest of the Understanding Heart, was given. Some of the other meetings of interest included a radio program with Station WORLD broadcasting. At another meeting Miss VValters, the health nurse, spoke to the girls. A friendship week was held the week of the twenty-third of April. During this week sayings of friendship were posted on the blackboard of every room in the school. An open program for the girls of the high school was held also at this time. Another interesting feature of our work is the group discussion meet- ings each year. The club is divided into various groups and these groups discuss problems of a girl of the teen age. Among the social functions was a spook party, a Mother and Daughter Christmas party, a breakfast hike, a Valentine exchange and the Senior farewell party. The Girl Reserves carried out a portion of their code, Ready for Service, when they willingly accepted the call to canvas the city for the Red Cross organization. This proved very successful. We have been aided in our tasks by our advisers, Mrs. Rininger, Miss Miller, Miss Engels, Miss Rosenberger and our honorary member, Miss Arnold. On March 7, the Girl Reserves, with the Hi-Y club and other vis- itors, assembled in the gymnasium of the Y to celebrate the birthday of Mrs. Della Laird, donnor of the Y. M. C. A. The club has received two gifts which are especially appreciated, one being a beautiful silk flag, presented by the Woman's Relief Corps, and the other a Valentine in the form of a Girl Reserve fiag given by Miss Arnold. -Ruth Homan, Secretary.

The first was held in the Presbyterian Church of Clyde. The Club also held services in the M. P. Church of this city, the M. P. Church of Attica, and the Church of Christ of this city. In the latter part of December we held our annual Sweetheart or Best Girl Banquet. In the fore part of February a number of the members were sent to a district Hi-Y conference which was held in Findlay. We are also proud to say that we had the privilege of giving the Tiffin High Basketball team a good banquet. In March the Club had an election of new officers who are to serve the latter months of 1928 and the fore part of 1929. The following were elected: President ........ --- Donald Hart Vice President--- ---Robert Gross Secretary ------- ---- R obert France Treasurer ---------------------- George Wentz The last school activity of the Club was sponsoring the Find Yourself Campaign.

From then on, with a membership totaling twenty and the active faculty advisor, Mr. Bailey, it was fairly successful. The club was placed on a firmer basis by drafting a new constitution. The programs consisted of reports on Various interesting scientific subjects and experiments con- ducted in the chemical laboratory. On April 20, Professor Stinchcomb of Heidelberg gave an electrical demonstration before the entire school. This was sprmsiored by the club.

The departure of the Senior Class of 1928 marks the fifth year of the splendid growing organization, the Dramatic Club. Each year of its existence means greater progress, more gratifying work and more renown. This year the Club has been under the direction of Miss Katherine Koller, assisted by Miss Ruth Houston. On Tuesday, February 28, the Club presented as its annual dram- atic play, The Poor Nut, a comedy of modern youth by J. C. Nugent and Eliot Nugent, to a large and very appreciative audience. The scene of the plot is laid at Ohio State University and the story itself is centered about The Poor Nutf' our hero, who is afflicted with a severe case of inferiority complex, but who through events becomes as psychology states, a conqueror because he hates to be inferior.

Money and acclaim are then only in- ceidental. Allman said that the most perfect and also the funniest compliment he's ever received as an actor came when he was appearing in the Play House produc- tion of the farce comedy, Under the Yum Yum Tree. As the amorous roue of the play. only my ba' 1' t ' ' ie oo , hooking in a newspaper and a bottle of milk from a corridor, and my bare arm. putting out a wire basket of empty liquor bottles, was seen on stage, he said. 'But after my bare arm was seen, a lady in the front row said: tIIe's good isn't he! I fell in love with the theater as a lit- tle boy in Tiffin. Allman said. It was on the routes of the Baltimore Sr Ohio and Pennsylvania railroads. and the show troupes used to stop in Tiffin to play at least one show at the Grand Theat ' Tl er. ie first show I ever saw was 'The Cat and Th ' ' ' e Canary and the sliding panels and doors of that play fascinated me, as they still do. After high school in Tiffin I went to Ileid lb ' e erg College for two years and then to Ohio State. where I received my bachelor of science degree. Then I went back to Heidelberg and got my bachelor of t I ar s de- ' glee in education. I also spent a year at f the Cornell University school of hotel man- M agement. I It was while teaching seven subjects, 2. . Zrwfl , ' . ff I Q- . ' ' ' fgiz ff' 4' . f'I'd played about 100 amateur shows in Tiffin, in colleges and at a short-lived Tif- fin Summer Theater, where they passed the hat for the performers. I'd also played 'Hamlet' at Heidelberg. I gave up the piano when I got so mixed up in a Chopin Qom- position I never could get out of the middle Part at a recital. I got so frustrated by the violin I broke all three of my violins. However, as a baritone Allman has ap- peared in such Play House musical produc- tions as L't itle Mary Sunshi d S Darling. ne an ay Allman, is obviously many things, and probably one of the few men who's ever had SGVQU Years of college training without obtaining a masters degree. But at least in the Play House, he has won heart's de- sire. If worst comes to worse, he can run the Play House Club single handed. I U-I I I sz-mfas 'orsntu are o ieanse Supfsr. 'uopu S!

From the beginning to the end the season was a series of breaks, and in most cases. tough ones for Tiffin High. At the first call about fifty fellows turned out for practice. About three weeks were spent in preparation for the first game. Then with the first game came the first break. We played Wil- lard, the other new member of the Little Big Seven League. The two teams battled evenly until well into the last quarter. Neither team had yet scored and it looked like a scoreless tie. But not so. On an intercepted pass, a Willard player broke away for a touchdown and a 6 to 0 victory. On October first we went to Bellevue and amid a soaking rainstorm easily defeated them by a 12 to 0 score. Touchdowns were scored by Flechtner and Disler. The following Saturday the Blue and White, of Sandusky, came to our field and brought with them anew set of breaks. Scoring two touchdowns on intercepted passes and two more on blocked kicks and fumbles, they handed us the short end of a 30 to 6 score. Kerschner' scored Tiff'in's only touchdown. Our next game came on Friday, October 14, at Oberlin. Again the breaks appeared. Oberlin scored their first touchdown on a fum- ble that took the spirit out of the Blue and Gold. The final score was 19 to 0. In this game Captain Jerry Feagles received an injury to his ankle which kept him out of the line-up for several weeks. With a big delegation following them, the powerful Blue and Gold of Toledo Libbey came to Columbian field on the following Satur- day and Went away with another victory to their credit. Tiffin played a great game despite the fact that they were battling against far su- perior weight. The first half was very close, the score being 7 to 0. Then, in the second half, Libbey broke loose and ended up with thirty- nine points to their credit against none for Columbia. The next Saturday saw the second and last victory for Tiffin High. Kenton came to our field and was defeated in a game that served to break the monotony of always losing. The final score was 12 to 0. The next week we journeyed to Norwalk. Again, with the odds in our favor, we were forced to change our minds because of the breaks. Both of the opponent's touchdowns were lucky and together with some questionable conduct of the officials, we didn't have much chance. The final score again stood at 12 to 0. Armistice Day, November 11, the Little Giants of Fremont met the Blue on Columbian field. And Little Giants they proved to be, easily winning by a 21 to 0 score. Last, but by no means least, came the game with Fostoria in our neighboring town. The game was full of thrills all the way through. Fostoria scored first. Then we tied it up at 6 all. Again Fostoria scored and again we tied. Late in the last quarter Fostoria opened up a passing attack that brought them another touchdown. The game ended with Fostoria on top to the tune of 18 to 12. And now at the end of a season of only two victories and seven defeats, the graduating members of the squad can only wish for a better season next year and may the second year in the Little Big Seven League be more successful than the first. 1,5 jg, , . , ,MM Aaron Warner Half-back John Niederhauser Left End Harold Disler Quarter-back James Sertell Guard Homer Flechtner Full-back Paul Cleveland Right End Robert De-Muth Half-back Gerald Feagles Center VW x '20 Joe Keller Guard Vern Pfleiderer Right Tackle James Delbert Harvey Kerschner Quarter-back Half-back Rodsworth Briney Bernard Rosenblatt Guard End Harold Fisher Tackle Jean Riley Left Tackle AARON WARNER Dud Tunney After being idle a year, Dud azairl KIOUHCCI a football suit this season. He played half- back, and half-back he was! When it came to running ends and interferences, TunneY was there every time. Center '25, Half-Back '27. HOMER FLECHTNER Jim Homer James Our big plunging full-back. When we needed a few yards, sometimes for a touchdown, it was usually left up to Jim to do it. And in most cases he succeeded. It will surely be tough work to find a new fullback next year, as Flechtner graduates. Fullback '26, '27. ROBERT DEMUTH Bob Dinh Bob was our other half-back this year. When it came Bob's turn to tear off a few yards around end, they were surely torn. Bob was also a good tackler and a safe man on de- fense. Half-Back '27. HAROLD DISLER Dissy Tiffin was without a quarterback at the be- ginning of the season but it wasn't long until Dissy showed there was nothing to worry about. A good field general and a good passer, Disler filled in a gap that looked like a sticker. Quarterback '27. GERALD FEAGLES Jerry Jerry was captain of the team this year. He proved himself an able leader and well de- serving of the title. Feagles specialty was blocking punts. He also took care of the cen- ter of the line and could put that ball wherever the backfield wanted it. Jerry also grad- uates this year. Center '26, '27. JAMES SERTELL Jimmy Another man that took a year off and then came back bigger and better than ever. This was Jimmy's third year at guard and he made good use of his experience. If a hole was to be blocked or a hole to be made, it was all the same to Jimmy. He could do either and make a good job of it. Jimmy also played tackle part of the year and proved him- self as good at that as at guard. Right Guard '24, '25, '27. RODSWORTH BRINEY Red The Hghtin' Red-head was our other guard. When Red got sore it was just too bad for the other lines, and he was sore most of the time. N0 tackle or guard was too big for him to stop and no hole too big for him to plug. Red is only a Junior this year and can be counted on again next season. Left Guard '27, VERN PFLEIDERER Vern Vern P. Vern was a big six-footer and he surely made use of every inch. If you don't believe it, ask the remains of some poor end that he crashed into. It was Vern's delight to crash over a couple of opponents and then make a tackle back of the line of scrimmage. Al- though only a Junior this was Pfleiderer's second year and he'1l be in there tearing 'm up again next fall. Right Tackle '26, '27. JEAN RILEY Riley Irish The fightin' Irishman from the East End. When you said UD and at 'em to Jean he was sure to do it. Though small for a tackle Riley made up in Fight what he lost in pounds. Another good tackle left for next year. Left Tackle '27. PAUL CLEVELAND Familie Cleveland played his second and last year as end for Tiffin High this year. Paulie was a good tackler and when he tackled them they stayed tackled. Paulie was fast running down punts and many is the time he nailed the safety man in his tracks. Cleveland is a. Senior and leaves a place hard to be filled. Right End, '26, '27. JOHN NIEDERHAUSER Johnny Another player from the East End, but hard- ly an Irishman. WVhen 'iIrish Jean and Dutch John started to work on a big tackle, it was too had for the rest of the world. VVhen it came to stopping end runs, Johnny was doing his share all the time. Another Senior and another place to be filled. Left End '26, '27. Credit is also due to the other players who did their share and took their bumps along with thc regulars. When any one of these fel- lows was called on, he was ready to go in and fight, win or lose: Joe Keller, Joe Kinney, 'tJimmy Deibert, Rosie Rosenblatt, Jack Kerschner, Harold Fisher, Jew Kiessling. George Flechtner, Linus Garland, -and Bob Gross. Good luck next year, those who do not graduate. BASKET BALL SQUAD Jan. Jan. Jan. Jan. Jan. Feb. Feb. Feb. Feb. Feb. Mar. Mar. Mar.

A dead eye on long shots, he helped bring home the bacon in every game. Although no captain was elected at the beginning of the sea- son, DeMuth was elected Honorary Cap- tain before the tournament. Bohn grad- uates and will be sorely missed by all. Guard '27, Center '28. JOHN NIEDERHAUSER Johnny Johnny was a bear on defense and ii' he started laying for a forward, it was just too bad. Not so fast, but fast enough to take care of the back court and score a few points now and then besides. If the ball was anywhere with- in grabbing distance, Johnnyf' was sure to grab it. Another player lost by grad- uation. Guard '27, '28. 'l l ,Q l ,J GERALD FEAGLES Jerry This was Jerry's first year but he soon filled in and worked as a veteran. Jerry'l was a good Hoor man and a demon on close shots. When shifted back to guard, Feagles did his share of the defensive work. t'Jerry also is lost through graduation. Guard '28. I V GEORGE WENTZ Wentzie Wentzie was our other forward. This was George's first year but he played like he hail been at it all his life. VVentz showed up in the tournament and earned honorable mention. George has two more years, so a real player can be counted on during that time. Forward '28. t. CARL MONTAGUE Cal Cal played forward this year, and forward it was! When he came down the Hoor it was generally two more points to our credit. Cal's specialty was close-in shots and with these he made himself high-point man of the team. Montague is only a Junior and greater things will be expected from him next year. Forward '27, '28.

'1 4 THE BASKETBALL SEASON QQQ' Coach Struble issued the call for basketball the first week in De- cember. About thirty fellows responded. Out of this number a squad of ten was picked and, after a month of hard practice, the season began. Our' first game was with Calvert, our would-be rivals for city hon- ors. After lagging behind for a few minutes, the Blue and Gold started hitting and from then on it was too bad for Calvert. The final score was 29 to 13 in our favor. The next Friday marked our entrance into Little Big Seven bas- ketball circles. We met Bellevue on our fioor and in a game that was as fast as they make them, we came out on top with a one-point mar- gin, 19 to 18. The next week we went to Sandusky and in a game that was the exact opposite of the one the week before, we were defeated by a 15 to 5 score. Our players were completely baffled by the huge floor and glass backboards, which, no doubt, accounts for the low score and e eat. We entertained Oberlin High on the next Friday evening and it was truly an entertainment. After trailing by a score of 11 to 8 at the half, our Blue and Gold warriors came back and started sinking them from all over the fioor. Again we proved better than our opponents, winning 21 to 18. The Red and White of Willard came next on the list. The game was played in the railroad city, and the railroaders had to be satisfied with second best. The only thing thrilling about the game was the score Tiffin ran up. We came back with a 39 to 17 score to add to our already growing victories. The following Wednesday our ancient rivals, the Red and Black of Fostoria, came to our fioor. The game was fast and close all the way through. As is usual in such encounters, there was much fouling. Fostoria finally succeeded in winning, 20 to 15. Although that was a hard one to lose, we more than made up for it on the following Saturday. Findlay High came and went--all the sadder for the time they spent here. When it was all over with we had 41 points, while they had 15. The next week Norwalk came to our floor. We were doped to win and as usual the prediction was wrong. Norwalk played about three times over our heads and ran off with a 30 to 23 victory. VVe closed our Little Big Seven season at Fremont on February 18th. The game decided who should hold second place in the' league. The Blue and Gold started out with a rush and in the second quarter had run up a 16 to 5 score. But soon the tables were turned and Fremont started hitting. Not until the last quarter, however, did they have a safe margin. The final score was 36 to 28 in favor of Fremont. On the next Thursday came our second game with Calvert. As Calvert had previously defeated the Junior Home, this game settled the city championship. From the first whistle until the last, it was Tiffin all the way. Although the game was played in Calvert's gym, this was no hindrance to the Blue and Gold and we succeeded in piling up a 28 to 12 score. This game marked the close of the actual season and a very fitting close it was. On March 2 the Northwest Sectional Tournament opened at Mans- field. Tiffin drew Galion for their first game. The game was close all the way, being tied seven times. With the score of 15 all and a half minute to play, a Galion player missed two free throws and to him belongs the thanks for Tiffin's victory. The game went into an overtime period and we ran up six points, winning 21 to 15. That evening we met Upper Sandusky, who had previously de- feated Shelby. After trailing for two quarters, Columbia finally crash- ed through for a 19 to 15 victory. The next afternoon we met Fremont in the semi-finals. Again they proved our superiors. The game was very slow and also one- sided. Tired from their other two games, the Blue formed very little opposition. Fremont won by a 31 to 11 score. Thus ended one of the most successful seasons in Tiffin High's history. Although not all the games were won, every player was in there and 'ffightin' all the time. No captain was elected at the beginning of the season and a dif- ferent captain was appointed by the coach before each game. Before the tournament, Bob DeMuth was elected honorary captain and he served in that capacity during the three games at Mansfield. This system of appointive captainship proved very successful and, no doubt, will be used from now on. The same system will be used in football next fall.

'gk' ' :xmv'x Mm ALUMNI Q-QQ' The Alumni Association of the Tiffin Public Schools dates its or- ganization back to 1870, to June of that year, immediately following the commencement exercises of the 1870 class, when the graduates numbered seventy-five, and almost all of them were yet living in Tiffin. The organization was brought about as the result of an editorial in the Tiffin VVeekly Star, of which Elmer White, one of the graduates of the class 1864, was editor, urging the formation of such an organi- zation, and the issuing of a call for a meeting of the graduates for that purpose. This meeting was held the third week -in Juneiof-that year. It was the occasion of a banquet given by the former graduates to the gradu- ates of the class of 1870, and was held in the ice-cream parlors of the Grammes Restaurant, spacious dining rooms located in the second story of the building now known as 131 S. VVashington street and occupied by the Grill Baking Company. At that time a constitution was adopted and signed by forty-eight of the graduates and the following officers were elected: President, Elmer White, vice president, Lewis Ullrichg treasurer, Dallas P. Dil- dine and for some years the organization was kept intact and was active. In fact, it had a bunch of live wires and they featured every year entertainments of various sorts, suppers, fairs, dances, etc.-not the dances of the present advanced day, but the old-fashioned country- type dances that we used to have as the climax of our winter sleigh- riding parties, the dances of our fathers and mothers and our grand- fathers and grandmothers, and of some of the old graduates yet among us. The girls in those days had too much modesty as a characteristic of their personality to publicly show the contour of their shapely legs up to their knees and their breasts and waists down to a point within a half foot of the top edge of their dress skirt-a modesty that is absent in very many of the adult girls of today, most of them, in fact. And then, too, the dance program was not the big feature of the alumni banquet, as it is now and without which the banquets would be sparsely attended, for most of the young people now attending these banquets go, not to hear the literary program given, but because of the dance. The old graduate in a wall-flower curiosity at these alumni banquets now. As the years passed, with the leaving from the city of many of the most active members and other causes, the association lapsed into a sort of inactivity, although the annual receptions to the graduating classes continued, and in 1880 the association was reorganized. The president of the association in 1901 was Leon Bigger. In 1902, when the alumni numbered 585, the officers were: President, Walter K. Keppel, vice president, Walter C. Rohrbackerg secretary, Dora King, treasurer, Elmer E. Hershberger. Since then the presi- dents and secretaries of the association, as nearly correct as the writer was able to get them at the time secured, have been as follows: Presidents James E. Hershberger Robert L. Rohe John C. Rowland Burton N. Crobaugh Forrest L. Black Nelle E. Myers Earl B. Naylor W. C. Rhorbacker Rush D. Niles Edwin J. Bour Homer M. George Secretaries Edna Souder Ruth Lonsway Bertha Reeme Irene Lynch Edna Rogers Dora King Minnie Smith Bessie Barbeau Hilda Distelhorst Lenore I. Osterholm John J. Merkelbach Mrs. Myron Mann Harry W. Frick Frank Dildine Fuschia Carrick Hazel Fleck Mrs. Carl Ludwig Garland Hinsman The officers of the association at the present time, in 1927, are: President, Harry W. Frickg vice president, Elwood Herriffg secretary, Edna A. Rogers, financial secretary, Eugene Shephard, treasurer, Homer George. MESSAGES FROM SOME OF THE ALUMNI QQQ This is a great, wide, beautiful, wonderful world, and from this part of it we, of the class of 1895, send back sincere greetings to our former classmates, the other alumni, instructors, and superintendent. -Clara E. Herr. Your letter requesting me to contribute a message from my class to the Alumni section of the Blue and Gold has just been received upon my return from a motor trip through Florida, the letter having been held among other mail, for my return. You state that the publication will go to press about April 15, and in that event any mesage from me now would reach you too late. I dare say I voice the sentiments of every member of the class of 1889 in wishing all success to the class of 1928. Although we appreci- ate the thoroughness of the training and instruction we received in our day, yet we realize that the radical changes which have taken place in the methods of instruction since then have been for the best. The same principles, however, are necessary for success in life. Most sincerely yours, -KATE E. HERTZER. The Class of '20 joins the other Alumni of Tiffin High School in extending to the Class of '28 congratulations and best wishes. As life rolls along all of us think back to our happy days at T. H. 5 i S. Thoughts of our classmates, our instructors, our studies, and various events, cannot be erased from our memories. Increasingly we appreci- ate' the practically helpful training which our school gives. I Opportunities for young men and women who are disciplined and qualified by proper training are increasing every day in business and the professions. The success and usefulness of one's life depends on each individual. That members of the Class of '28 will achieve genuine success and happiness is the confident expectation and sincere wish of the Class of '20. Chas. F. Spicka Dayton, Ohio April 11, 1928. There are certain hills whichfstand out very distinct in my memory of the years between 1909 and 1913. One was the first interclass track meet, when the '13 team avenged a basketball defeat at the hands of the '14 foes. They were juniors and we were sophomores. Names have a way of coming up, too-all of a sudden-out of a past which is not dim, but distant. Horace Zook was the hero of the shot-put. Doc Bacher and his cousin-what was his first name?-they were foremost in the strivings which won that bloody field. The cousin-wish I could remember his name-also was on some kind of a committee which kept meeting and playing games and absorbing ice cream at the homes of young lady members and his favorite song was Casey Jones. He de- manded it all the time. I can still hear Doc and his cousin singing it, while one of the young ladies chorded obligingly on the piano. They also sang Star of the East. I was a member of that committee, too. It must have met fifty times, but I cannot remember that it did anything but eat ice cream and sing. May Cluxton, I believe, was chairman. Ralph Maiberger and I finally did all the work of another com- mittee, which met all winter and did nothing about getting out a satirical paper on the graduating seniors. We did most of it in a vacant room over his father's cigar store. We thought we were awfully funny in that paper. About the time we were toiling over it we were rushing the same girl. Only I was about a mile behind. In junior year the girls began to drop the hair ribbons and wear shirtwaists. Or maybe that came in sophomore year. Anyhow, it was a great step forward. The passing of notes in the main room instantly became epidemic. Herman Gahris drove us on a sleigh ride one night to the Ogontz club. I saw Herman on the street in Tiffin about two years ago. For twelve years we saw each other every day in school and yet that meeting on the street was the first since graduation. And graduation was fifteen years ago. Will you tell me why that is? It seems as if something-oh, well, why go on? I suppose nothing can be done about it, but it seems a shame. One day I saw Gene Mulhol- land and another time Ralph Shober. Then again I had about ten min- utes talk with Doc Bacher as he was going back to Chicago. Speaking of Doc Bacher makes me think of botany. May, I think her name was. Remember those botany trips with Mr. Holt? I re- member one along the river-but I can't remember all the names. V r Let's see how many I can remember. Well, I won't try. It'll make me feel too blue. I can remember last ones pretty well, but the first keep slipping and they are the most important. But one thing I do remember were those two extra vacation weeks before commencement. There were parties to burn. Everybody was beginning to get sentimental and the weather was perfect for picnics. They were long, lazy, glamorous June days. I had dinner with an old class mate here in New York not long ago, and, strange to say, she was the girl for whose smiling favor I com- peted against Mike. Names are not much help, but now and then a face or a word springs up vividly, mostly in the morning hours when I happen to wake too early and sleep will not come again. And then I see the whole tide of the years rushing down on me with a feeling of great sadness that those days are forever gone. Charles O. Locke New York City April 8. I greatly appreciate the honor of being selected from the Class of 1914 to contribute to the Alumni section of the Blue and Gold, but I find myself in the embarrassing position of being too young to have memories of any great consequence, and yet too old to be acquainted with the present tendencies in high school journalism. There was no Blue and Gold to chronicle our failure and success some fourteen years ago. Furthermore, it is difficult to speak with authority for the class of 1914, scattered as it is from California to Maine and representing in its ranks a weird variety of civilian tasks, as well as official responsibility in the Army and Navy of the United States. But I have the feeling that my classmates, if they were to bear witness, would support my conclusion that the memories associated with the Columbian building are still vivid and important. Of course, there are things one would like to forget, for example, the 101 to 3 defeat in football suffered at the hands of Fostoria, a humiliation which I hope has been wiped out in these later years of athletic prestige. Perhaps, because my path has run in academic grooves ever since, I can still call up the experiences of the class room. The code of Ham- muralei, as expounded by Mr. Frazier in Room 8, the Ciceronian elo- quence with which we read the sonorous Latin periods for Mrs. Wil- liamsg the sympathy for the luckless Stuart Kings, which somehow Miss Arnold never failed to engender, the respect for the logic of math- ematics, as Miss Dutt demonstrated a new theoramg the enthusiasm of Miss Hartmann's anaylsis of Burke's Speech on Conciliation, and, if I may be pardoned a family allusion, my father's discussion of politics with just enough Democratic bias to arouse the interest of Republicans, these are some of the memories that come, even when one is not try- ing to remember. If the Class of 1914 has any word for the classes of the present, it is the hope that in these later days with the increasing complexity of academic life, none of the fine infiuence of the classroom, which we so often failed to appreciate fourteen years ago, has been lost. Faithfully yours, CSignedJ JOHN A. KROUT. The members of the Class of 1918, on the tenth anniversary of their graduation from Columbian High, most heartily felicitate their former instructors, the Misses Arnold, Dutt and Hartmann, and Profes- sor Krout, on their continued service, warmly greet their confreres in the Alumni Association, and welcome the Class of 1928 into the fel- lowship of that organization. Sincerely yours, fSignedJ OLIVE WAGNER LOUCKS. The members of the graduating class of 1907 of the Columbian High School are rather widely scattered. However, if I could see them all, I have no doubt they would unite in sending a message of greeting to all you who are now enjoying the privileges of high school life in the same old halls we frequented about a quarter of a century ago. Especially would they ask to be remembered to those who were then our guides and now are yours: To Mr. Krout, our superinten- dent, chemistry and civics teacher, to Miss Arnold, our English, his- tory and composition teacher, in whose class we made our first at- tempts, and in many instances, no doubt, our last, to cultivate the Muse, to Miss Dutt, who taught us the delights of short-cut mathe- matics in algebrag and to Miss Hartmann, un-der whose guidance we learned to paraphrase The Vision of Sir Launfal, and in whose class we joyed to argue concerning the sanity of Hamlet. The class of 1907 would all join me, I am sure, in congratulating you on the increased opportunities you enjoy today. Do you realize that it was a member of our class who, in our Junior year, I believe, was responsible for the organization of the Philomathean Literary Society? The two literary societies and glee clubs were the only school organizations at that time outside of the classes and commit- tees. The chorus, composed of the entire school, which presented oratories, and the rhetoricals, preparation for which was such a joy, with actual participation less so-these were our extra-curricular ac- tivities. It was in our day, too, I believe, that Miss Krebbs first intro- duced into the high school art classes and the pleasures of working with pastelles. Today you have classes in typewriting, manual training and dra- matic work, High-Y and Friendship Clubs, you publish a school paper and an annual, and doubtless are afforded numerous other opportun- ities of which some of us, who are much away from Tiiin, are not aware. Upon all these things we congratulate you. May you be able to use them as the foundation for lives of successful service. Very truly yours. CSignedJ WILHELMINA D. COCKAYNE. Dear Blue and Gold Just seven years have passed since we, the class of '21, were striv- ing to make you the best issue the sons and daughters of Tiffin High had ever produced. How splendid you look in your Blue and Gold .- ., , , f , Q ' ' ,.- , , 1 l armor! What mysteries do your pages hold? What hidden? What revealed? May we glance to see if you of '28 compare with us of '21? Yes, there is our dear Prof. Krout heading the list of those who, with their untiring efforts during the years, have made the Blue and Gold a living monument. Of his co-workers very few have spanned the year. Of those remaining, our sweet Miss Arnold, Miss Hartmann, whose outstanding personality has made golden those hours spent with Shakespeare, our ever faithful Miss Dutt. Of the rest-I am in doubt. Scattered and gone, perhaps. And now we come to the four classes-the graduating class of '28 leading. Seven years ago the class of '21. When we left the gray stone building for the last time, how we vowed we wouldn't be as the others-we would keep in touch. During these intervening years, the number of classmates seen could be set at twenty-five-twenty-five out of some eighty! How little we realize during those jubilant hours what life has in store for us-where we might be sent. Some, we are saddened to say, have passed on where the strife of life is no more. So we go on to those pages of recreation-to the triumphant vic- tories and proud defeats of the football and basketball teams. Loyal sons of Tiffin High, how we love and honor you. Has any graduate ever forgotten an attended football game or basketball tournament? Those are the hours we remember long after we've forgotten what we learned from books. The Alumni section. How interesting to know the whereabouts and activities of former graduates. Why, I just realized-undoubtedly my name is there with the rest. Strange, we always think of being among the graduating class. The many musical activities of the year, the social functions, the literary societies-nothing has been forgotten. Blue and Gold, you have many more important events but the reader has been informed that you are only borrowed, so I must hasten to return you to your owner who is anxiously waiting to review you as I have just done. CSignedJ ALETA QEDWARDSJ SMITH Your request to me unloosed a flood of pleasant memories con- nected with my life as pupil and later as teacher in the Tiffin Public Schools. Fortunate I! to have had the advantages there of my early education. Much of my success as a leader I credit to the efficiency of those under whom I was a student-foremost among them being Miss Laura Stevenson fMrs. S. B. Sneathb, Miss Mary Ebbert, Miss Eva Church, Miss Mary Bowe and Miss Leora Flenner. They were so human! Greetings to classmates, to former co-workers and to all Alumni. Yours sincerely, QSignedJ MABEL SPAYTH, Class of 1881. i . Dear Editor: Just forty years ago, while on my way home from the old brick school house on College Hill, I broke through new ice on Rock Creek, between Perry Steet and Market Street, and came near drowning. It was my penalty for being brave. In selecting me to prepare a message as representative of the Class of 1898, Columbian High School, you have asked me to do something for which I may again be punished. As I have been away from Tiffin for so many years, I am out of touch with class members and clanssanews. This maybe of advantage to all parties concerned since I am not in position to give away any secrets. My message therefore may lack in thrills. It is almost thirty years since we sat on the stage of Noble's Opera House and did our stunts. Most of the class were valedictorians but, as I recall, Earl Schneckenberger, now a civil engineer of Billings, Montana, was the real thing. I always had respect for Earl's ability as he once showed me how to get a perfect mark in German when we were in Seventh Grade. Earl was a great orator, too. Orators were lacking in our class, so few, if any, have become politicians of note outside of Leon Bigger. Rush Niles and I played a Mozart Sonata for violin and piano. Mrs. H. L. Wenner said that it caused snickering in the balcony. Rush, however, claimed that his piano accompaniment was well worth listen- ing to and he was ready to go to court to prove it. They tell me that Rush does not give much time to music now and prefers the society of women. I recently learned that Vincent Krout was in Richmond, across San Francisco Bay, so the other day I made a trip to the plant of the Pacific Pottery W'orks in search of Tiffin news. This trip recalled to my mind the violin obligato to Happy Days that I played for Aura Snyder, who is now Mrs. Kolbfleish. It appears that Tappan Rodgers is a booster for the Shrine which has some connection with Freemasonry. As I have scorched my own feet on the hot Arabian sands on my way to Mecca, I can understand his great desire to sign up other unsuspecting candidates for the same kind of a trip that he had. Tappan took for his subject, Marching Along, and he apparently has lived up to his ideals. He always was an unselfish sort of a fellow. He once got up a bobsled party and then arranged to have the driver pull off the road and dump us all into a snow drift. He called it an initiation. I think it was at this same party that Tappan and I agreed not to marry. I tried to live up to the agreement but failed. John Wells wrote an essay on The Navy of Today, and as near as I can find out, John has been dealing with boats ever since. I fre- quently meet his old professor in naval architecture, Dr. W. F. Durand, who is now retired from the teaching staff of Stanford University where I was a student twenty years ago. John and I were part of a male quartet that rendered, A Cannibal Idyl -it was probably rended. Bert Weller, the basso, has answered the final summons, if my memory is correct. A short time ago Prof. Krout gave me a list of a few of the mem- bers of the class, together with a word or two concerning each. He pointed out that as some were about to become grandparents I might realize that I am no longer a boy. A twitch now and then in the shoulder reminds me of the same thing. I hardly know whether to be jealous or not. As I like to be comfortably seated at home and to take a quiet smoke of an evening, while I read the daily paper undisturbed, there is a question in my mind about the whole matter. Space does not permit me to further indulge in retrospection. It has been a pleasure to recall the events and the associations that once were. I am sure that none can take greater pride than I do in having had as school mates real people. Prof. Krout can well say, The Class of 1898 was composed of good stuff. And remember that much yet re- mains to be written and the last chapters are often the best. This message would not be complete without my extending my respects and best wishes to all the members of the class. May God speed us all to better and greater things. Sincerely yours, fSignedJ EDWARD G. SHEIBLEY. Was really surprised to have you write me, as old a person as I am, eighty-three in August, that I had been selected to represent my class of 1863 by writing something for your paper. I wish I could, I wish I might write something that would be interesting and bright. But when you have been silent for many years, am afraid it would be nothing but something queer. So will thank you kindly and ask to be excused. Respectfully, CSignedJ MRS. NORA F. TOMB. To the Class of 1928: Responsibility knocks at your door! You have been told too often that opportunity waited to be ad- mitted. You have already been credited with at least one promotion for each successive year of your school life. That is doing rather well for a group that have not even attained their twenties. Thus far your record has convinced me that your interests have been well sus- tained and that you have co-operated with a superintendent and a faculty specialized in the very training requirements that have brought about the culmination of this happy occasion, your graduation. You have accepted recognition for no small degree of attainment, but do not forget that such acceptance was but a gesture on your part to assume responsibility, whether or not you realized it at the time. Otherwise, why have you and why do you still feel impelled to go for- ward? He who believes that he should cease making readjustments through daily study, has never studied. Responsibility carries with it the idea of payment. How will your debt be paid? Not in coin, but in service. The higher that you rise above the average man, the greater the added responsibility in the form of service will become. You may not believe this, but your chief happiness will be derived through your assuming obligations and through your trying to repay them in the coin of service to humanity. The Class of 1904 join me in congratulating you on the progress that you are making. G. FREDERICK DUTT, W .,. W ,oo. M.. --. M Ve eCharlest1Jn1on1Kanawha, AWTWVEI It is a long backward look to the Christmas holidays of 1873 when the six of us in the class of that year, sat on the stage of old National Hall and faced the crowded house waiting to hear our words of wisdom. Flora Poorman CMrs. Franksj was the salutatorian and read a really good essay, her subject being, Where shall I write my name? She is the only one of the sextette who in the nearly fifty-five years, has passed to the Great Beyond. VVe who know her best, make answer that her name is written in Heaven. Rachel Martin CMrs. Neelyl followed, her essay, The End Crowns the Work, and George Hussthen told us all about The Liberal Move- ment in Europe. I wonder if the happenings of the half centuhy would change any of his conclusions? Arthur Cunningham was next on the program, his topic being, Charles Dickens. Then followed my own remarkable oration--I forgot half of it- Westward, the Star of Empire Takes Its Way. I know more about the west now than I did then, there is no West any more. Minnie Holt CMrs. Cunninghaml had the valedictory, her sub- ject, as I remember it, being the Class Motto, Work and VVin. We've worked all right! Dear old Dr. Rust, president of the Board of Education, gave us our diplomas. I can visualize it all as I write these words and the memory of those happy school days up on Monroe Street and the years between, start bitter-sweet thoughts of the long ago. Backward, turn backward, oh time in your flight, Make me a child again, just for tonight! The Class-of 1873 sends greetings to all alumni of the Tiffin High School, and especially to the Class of 1928. The last verse of our class song is ringing in my ears: Still, when the evening comes down o'er the river, Still when the morning breaks over the hill, Think of us sometimes and fancy that echo Brings back the answer, We think of you still. Class of 1873. -EDWARD SEUBERT I feel that I am not the one to be truly representative of my class insofar as a message from all of them is concerned. I have been some- thing of a traveler recently and quite out of touch with my classmates. If it is acceptable, I shall direct my message to the recent young women graduates who have the choice of a profession to make. I would ask them to consider the field of nursing if they would make their service one of utmost helpfulness, and at the same time have un- limited educational advantages. To this rather personal message, I am sure I may add the best wishes of the Class of 1915 to the Class of 1928 and all alumni of Columbian High School. Sincerely, -HELEN McBRIDE Twenty years this June! Just the other day we received notice that this year the first child of the Class of 1908-the daughter of Edwin Work-graduates from Columbian High School. Instinctively, most of us felt for our toupees, readjusted our false teeth, glanced at our waistlines, and settled for an hour of sad thought. Only yesterday, at Alumni Banquets, we looked with pity to see classes out ten years. brought in wheel chairs. 1908 belonged to the days of small classes. Thirty-two of us graduated, out of a freshman class of about one hundred and eight. The big expansion in high school attendance had not taken place. The high school graduate was a much rarer specimen, although I make no claim that he or she was a better one. However, I deiinitely believe that this survival of the I'ittest of those days did create a class spirit and a pride by the senior year that was something rather fine. With us it lasted. Few years have passed without a class reunion, and individu- ally there is a sincere attachment to each other and to our school. On our twentieth anniversary, 1908 simply salutes you, Columbian High School, and renews its pledge of loyalty. No regrets, no advice, no apologies. After twenty years, if we had it all to do over again, we would choose you. We only hope that what you gave us you will con- tinue to give to classes for all time. This is the message of 1908. -KARL W. CHRISTMAN 1928, GO FORWARD Go Forward! is the idea that the Class of 1923 wants to stress to the Class of 1928. Some of you are going immediately into your chosen work, others of you will continue your studies longer, but whether you begin your work immediately, or continue the preparation yet a little while, set your goal always ahead of you, move ever onward, let your objective go forward as you advance. Whatever you do, in any kind of work, let that work be your best.. Be loyal to the best in you, be sincere. Let your every day actions be of such a character that by your daily living you will be known as leaders among men and women. -JOHN D. ZIMMERMAN, '23, 'lm 'CH , I HHWJ 1' WW flu. LM ! 1 ffl!

How difficult at times to get lessons, to write themes, to build a fire, to clean a yard. But it really is not troublesome to play, to be free from worries. Almost anything that re- quires an effort is irksome and touches some spot of unpleasantness in us. But yet when we closely examine the results of the lives of men and women we find that everyone performed tasks that were unpleasant. They had to work to do anything worth while. Would it not be joyous to make play out of work? Why not try it just to see if it is possible. It is, indeed, if we only try, and keep on trying. By doing this we really get somewhere, we are pleased to do the unpleasant thing-odd, isn't it? Do you not often wonder how many books one should read to be- come educated? Books-books-books. It is strange that we should depend on written books when our lives are such vivid and visible books. For after all what else is our life but a bookg its story begins rather slowly, it is gradually more interesting for so many new situa- tions arise. There is humor in it, love, sympathy, pathos, and at length it ends, sometimes a tragedy, sometimes leaving only a fond memory. Its characters are our friendsg some people understand and like our stories, others would rather not become acquainted with them. And often we find that the most beautiful stories come in such poor covers. Our Book of Knowledge should be our Book of Life. It is from our fellowmen that we really learn and remember. Indeed a very true and wise motto to follows is: Knowledge with Labor is Success. -Robert Allman. It is always very bewildering when one comes to a place where the road of life separates into two paths that lead in opposite direc- tions. Every person comes to such a place and every one has to choose between the two paths. Sometimes they both seem straight before us and we do not know which one to take. We only know that we must choose for ourselves, for we suspect that people who have found life Hat and difficult are those who have sat down and waited, afraid to choose. Perhaps the one path seems easier to travel. There are gay flowers and in the distance we can catch glimpses of a misty lake between the leafy trees. A seemingly joyous crowd have chosen this path and they stroll on their way. There seems to be signs ahead that lead to fame, happiness and power. But this is a road of selfishness and the signs do not really lead us anywhere but to an impassable mo- rass. VVe must painfully retrace our steps if we really mean to search for the truth, seek the light and try to follow the gleam. Otherwise we will fall into the morass. The other path seems harder to travel because it is up-hill. We may have to do work that is pure drudgery in itself, work for which we Y,, . .-,M .V are unfitted. We may not have the ha d ppy a ventures we desire or our ventures may be failures. Not all misadventures will fall upon us b t Y. y . . . u we will not ii holly escape loneliness, misunderstanding, and unde- served disappointment. But our aim shall be to bring happiness to others, a work that is a joyous outpouring of self in service. It does not stop but it goes on to our families, our intimate friends the eo le , D D of our town and our race. It fashions our lives like the colorful woven threads of a tapestry, revealing an elegant design. To every man there openeth A way and ways and a Way- And the high soul climbs the highway And the low soul gropes the low, And in between, on misty flats, The rest drift to and fro. But to every man there openeth A highway and a low, And every man decideth -V VVhich way his soul shall go. -MILDRED BURMAN, Associate Editor. STORIES A NUMBER 3341 A whistle sounded. The mother's heart jumped. The postman! Yes, surely he had her letter today. She hastily slipped out of her apron and ran out on the cottage's little porch. As the carrier made no move to unlatch her gate she called, ls this my lucky day, Mr. Postman? The man's eyes dropped. as he knew her daily expectations. No, Mrs. VVorthington, Fm sorry but he hasnit written yet. The mother's smile faded but she answered bravely, Oh, but it will come, I know. As the postman continued on his way, she sank into the little wicker chair and began crying quietly. There she sat living her life again. Here on this porch was where her Tommie had taken his first steps. What a proud little chap he was. Time went on and he went to school, then to the town he became Tom, but to his mother he was always her Tommie. He had been the leader of the boys. He was their king. How proud she had been to see him leading a bunch of boys to fish, hunt, play ball-whatever they did-her boy led them. But her boy was not perfect. How well she remembered his coming home after-his first cigarette. She had hoped then that it would be his last but, no, more followed and soon she ceased to plead with him. She chuckled as she thought of the window bills the h d y a paid. How she would plead with Tom's father to pay just this one more and then Tommie would be more careful where he hit his balls. The mother laughed indulgently as she thought of Tom's sixteenth birthday. A surprise party was never more complete. What fun it was planning those pleasant things for her boy. s .i . . Suddenly Tom's parting loomed up in her mind and try as she would she could not banish it. Yes, her baby Tommie was a man now and was gone. She shuddered at the word gone He had been gone six years and was only seventeen when he went to the city to make his fortune. He said that he would never have a chance to make good in their little Kansas village. No, he said he would rot in a little town like Cedarville so, of course, his mother readily gave him up if he could do better and bigger things in that far-away metropolis of New York. During that long period of six years she had received but one brief note: Dearest Mother: Am pulling big deal for Spud. Will be home . Your loving, soon. ' ' ' ' Tommie. That note, after six years, stilllmeant worlds to the broken-hearted mother, who sat there waiting for her Tommie's soon. - Days went. onfand every day Mrs. Worthington's hopes rose only to be shattered by the sympathetic no of the postman. One morning, after raking the leaves in the backyard, she burned them. Finding a crumpled sheet of newspaper she tossed it carelessly into the flames. Then she glanced down and saw her son's picture being swallowed up by the fire. Almost unconsciously she raked it out but only to preserve the upper part of the photograph, showing his nose, eyes and hair, but not having one word of explanation. The excited mother spent days trying to find out from what paper his picture came. After receiving no information at the local press, she went to the village news stand. There they permitted her to go through all of the back numbers of the out-of-town papers. And, although she searched until she was almost sick, she found no clue. She was advised that the paper must have been wrapped around something shipped from the East. The disappointed and bewildered mother returned to her home, now too worn out to attempt assuming any measure of hope. She had had a clue and now it was gone. VVhy was her boy's picture in the paper? Had he at last developed his remarkable tenor voice? How soon would the world know him But the most important question in the neglected mother's heart was-why wont't he come home? Nevertheless she was proud of her son in his unknown progress- she wondered what it was. Oh, he was a remarkable boy. But pride she felt for her boy was surmounted by the thought-does he ever think of me? As winter came on the mother grew more and more feeble. The village people shook their heads in contempt for Tom-for letting his mother yearn her life awayyjust for him. He wasn't worth it, they concluded. No, he always had been babied by her until he expected everyone to be subject to his will as she had always been. One day the postman told her that perhaps she could get word of her son if she had a radio. So she drew money out of the bank and bought one. l 4 She spent every evening after her purchase toying with her radio, always coming back to her favorite station, New York. Many times Aleta, Tommie's first sweetheart, would come over to spend the even- ing with the lonesome woman. As winter went on, she grew weaker and weaker until the village physician said her worries over her son would soon be over. At last she persuaded Aletafs parents to let their daughter stay with her to keep her company. Christmas season came, but Mrs. Worthington was unable to leave her chair by the Hreside long enough to make preparations for her son as she usually did. Yes, she had always cookedjust what he liked on these holidays but then would always give it to the poorwhen she would be disappointed again. Christmas Eve Mrs. Worthington sat all alone again. Aleta had gone to a party so there was the mother waiting patiently for her son. She sat in her little rocker meditating as she watched the playing flames. To forget herisadness she turned the radio on. As she sat there,twisting the dials, she wasprewarded by the sound of men's voices. As their sele,c.ti'on came to a close the announcer said, And now we shall have a solo by our most talented tenor. He shall sing, Mother, O'Mine.f' i I ' ,The motherfgasped--a tenor singing, Mother O'Mine, her fav- orite piece! V Was 'it her Tommie? And then the voice began. Yes, it was her Tommielher own boy, whose tenor voice was always a source of pride to herj She relaxed in her chair. Yes, she was happy. It was her son. No one else could sing it like that but her boy. The song gradually died away and the happy, contended mother fell asleep. When Aleta returned she found the mother with a smile on her lips but she had left this world happily with her son's voice the last one she heard. Fortunately for her, she did not here the announce- ment which was: You have just listened to 'Mother OfMine' sung by No. 3341 of the Sing Sing Penitentiary. -Minerva Edwards. BEYOND THE MISSISSIPPI Last summer alfiew friends and myself went .West. All of us had for a long time wanted to see an Indian Reservation-now was our chance. Although we' were questioned a great deal by the Indian Agent, we finally obtained a special permit to stay on the Navajo Reser- vation, near Flaggstaf, in Colorado, for a week. We surely made use of that week. A 1 I Our two rooms were in a quaint little house, built of logs, which belonged to an old Indian squaw called Mamena. Everywhere were beautiful Indian rugs, hand-made furniture, animal skins, and the like. The rooms looked out upon the vast stretch of desert and sage- brush. The first day we visited the Indian school. It was conducted in much the same manner as our grammer schools are conducted at home. Since there were so few pupils one teacher, Miss Arlen, had the eight elementary grades. Much to our surprise we found that the Indian children liked American History better than any other subject. The next day we went to the Indian post at Flaggstaf, a distance of about twelve miles from the Reservation. At the post there was the Indian Agent's office, a small hotel and a general store used as a trad- ing post and postoffice. All around Indians were standing, who were dressed in the style peculiar to their own race and semi-modern. We had expected to see the materials and articles in the store jumbled up rather than stored up systematically--we were stunned to find things so very systematic. So we went from one thing to another until there were only two days left and nothing had yet happened that was exciting. On the first of these two days, the chief of the tribe, Little Rock, asked us to attend the tribal feast which was being held in honor of the visitors. Of course, we were anxious for night to come and the squaw, VMamena, suggested that we wear the tribal costume. The most fun came when we got the costumes together-maybe we didn't look like Indians when we were dressed. In fact, very few of the Indians recognized us. I ' At last evening came. The feast was wonderful. Of course, we did not understand their prayersnor songs accompanied by tom-tom, but nevertheless we enjoyed them. fThe ,oddest dish we had was In.dian chop-suey. Strange as it may seem to you-for I tell the truth- it Was made from rattlesnake meatwhich served as mushrooms. It was necessary for the Indians to get this meat when they knew it to be free from the poison, but nevertheless it was there. YVhen dinner was over all of us gathered around as-huge open tire. The oldest chiefs of the tribe told some of the old Indian legends and many strange stories. But farinto the night, long after we had gone to bed, sing- ing and dancing went on. We could hear at a distance the weird chants and beating of tom-toms. It made me feel ,as though I were a prisoner about to be put to death by Indians-of course in pioneer days, since Indians do not think of such cruel deeds today. At dawn on the last day we, with our Indian guide, Lone Wolf, started on a trip over the desert. What a wonderful sight to see- herds of horses, flocks of sheep, small farms, all of which were main- tained by Indians. At high noon, when the sun was beating down upon us with its blistering heat, a strong wind came up. Lone Wolf said that it was a sandstorm and that we must turn our course home-ward immediately. We had gotten only a short distance when the storm broke. Everywhere was sand. It blinded usg choked us. For two days through the storm we wandered on, gettinghfarther and farther from the course. We had little food and less sleep, and our horses were worn out. At last our food gave out and we had no water-it was now the-fourth day-we thought we saw water, but alas! it was only a mirage. At sunset, in the distance, we sighted a village, it was the Reservation. Another hour of laborious riding and we came into the Reservation. After two days of rest we felt none the worse from our experience. How we hated to leave, but what could we do-our time was up. When we left we were loaded down with gifts of every kind-beads, blankets, tribal belts and all sorts of Indian novelties. As we went on the Reservation and desert faded first into the distance, and then, at last, into the horizon. That last glimpse shall always remain in my memory, fixed and firm. Now, on to California! -M. Kathryn Allman, '28. l DAD AS WE KNGW HIM With apologies to Robert M. Gay, author of The Timid Sex. Did you ever notice that when Mother suggests going to her Bridge Club, Dad will say, Nope, too tired, or too many women, but when someone from Dad's club phones and says, Poker game tonight at Ed's house, how quickly he forgets he is ever tired. Oc- casionally Dad goes to a political meeting, where there is a majority of men, and mother goes along without ever making a complaint. Men come to the house to discuss business and Mother can talk to them and be perfectly at ease. When Dad has to talk to one woman he almost has a spasm. Did you ever notice that when Dad has a little cold, or a tiny ache, he stays at home from the office, and wants-oh, so much sympathy, and that on the other hand, if Mother is sick, she must go right on with her work, for fear Dad will say, You Women are always com- plainingf' The next door neighbor can argue with Dad all evening over who should be elected for president, but did you ever notice that no man can win an argument from a woman? Men have learned never to argue with a woman but they never give the reason. The reason is, simply because they are afraid. Did you ever notice Dad when Mother is entertaining? He either grabs up his hat the minute dinner is over and rushes down to the office to do some veryfinfportant work, which he pretends he forgot, or he stands around all evening biting his cigar for all he is worth, and look- ing bored to death. On Mother's birthday, Dad wants to buy her a new dress. He enters a department store determined to buy that dress. He goes to the floorwalker, who directs him to the fourth floor. Upon reaching that floor he sees the Ladies' Ready-to-Wear Department, with all its pretty silk undergarments. He is so afraid of the surroundings and of the pretty clerks behind the counters that he rushes back to the elevator and goes home to regain his equilibrium and to give Mother a check. The following week is Dad's birthday. Mother goes to the men's furnishing store and buy him all the little things he needs, and returns home in the same calm manner she had when she left-not at all like Dad. The car could stand a new coat of paint: so Mother suggests taking it to the paint shop. Mother thinks it would be vera clever to paint it in buff and blue, but about that time Dad says, e drive a buff and blue car? Nothing doing! The neighbors will think that we are trying to show of. Mother eventually get her way, as usual, but it takes several weeks for Dad to make up his mind to drive that car down the main street. Then comes vacation time. Mother wants to go to the beach where all her friends are, but Dad says, Not this year, Mother. I can't stand sitting around or going bathing with all those women. Now Ed. is going North on a fishing trip and I'm going along with him. No one to bother us or anythingf' So Mother goes North and endures solitude, with mosquitoes as he only companions, so that Dad won't have to sit around and talk with the ladies. Dad's club gives a banquet, and Dad being president knows he is going to be called upon for a speech. He works and worries over that speech and ruins one good piece of paper after another. The next night the banquet is going to be given, and Dad is at a loss to know what to do. He is too timid to appeal to Mother, but at last he is forced to seek her aid. Mother writes Dad's speech, and puts more thought on one page than Dad had on all the paper hehas spoiled. Really, to sum up the whole situation, Dad is a huge joke. When he is surrounded by men he is at home, but when anything feminine ap- pears on the scene, he is as frightened as a little schoolboy reciting, The Midnight Ride of Paul Revere, before the school board. ' I am hoping that some day Dad will overcome this weakness and realize that he has as much of a chance in a crowd of women as Mother has in a group of men. -Esther Seemuth. - lT. X, CHRIS LUCK There were two things in which Jimmy Sams believed. The one thing was his Chrysler which he always called Chris and the other, was luck. He tied these two beliefs together by always referring to them as Chris Luck. Of course Jimmy had reason to believe in his Chrysler and in luck. His Chrysler had helped him out of many tight places. Hadn't it brought him homeilast summer just in time to escape the Hill River Hood? Hadn't it brought him to school many times just before the last bell rang? And wasn't it luck that had made him captain of the bas- ketball team this year? Wasn't it luck that had passed him in chemistry? Jimmy liked to go for rides over the hill roads and one night he had a strange adventure in the Parker Hills. Ten miles west of Conway, where bluffs come close to the Smokey Hill River, the hills break the level course of the trans-continental motor trail across the prairies. But over them stretches a well known high- way that looks like a boulevard for all its ups and downs, there is neither sideroad nor crossroad for many miles and the surface is so smooth that the motorist never need slacken his speed. Jimmy knew the road well and took the grades at a steady pace. ...x Rolling along the road at thirty miles an hour one night, Jimmy saw a flash of light alongside the carg there was a rush of a motor behind his car and then a long motor car dashed past him, fairly eating up the road. But some distance ahead the light suddenly vanished and he heard only the purr of the motor. All was dark ahead of Jimmy except where the headlights of his own car made a gleam- ing path. Then on the next hill Jimmy noticed a fiash and thought that the driver had switched on his lights to determine the contour of the road. The stranger went on at furious speed but with fainter sound and disappeared into the darkness. Jimmy thought this very odd behavior. After skimming up grades and coasting down hills, Jimmy came to a bridge where he was obliged to slow down and as he did so, he swept the slopes with his headlights but no trace of a car was to be seen. This was indeed odd for there was neither crossroad nor sideroad. Some time later, when he reached a filling station, he asked if a car had passed that way but he was told that none had passed since early in the evening. That was the mystery. Jimmy saw no more of the mysterious car that night. When he arrived home he told his father of his encounter, but Mr. Sams just laughed at him and teasingly asked Jimmy if he hadn't been seeing ghosts. V Maybe the story did sound somewhat silly to Mr. Sams, yet Jimmy knew thiat he had not been dreaming when he saw the car. But as no one else saw the ghost car Jimmy soon forgot about it. Then one night, when Jimmy was returning home late, he had the same encounter that he had had a few nights before. Jimmy was now convinced that he had not been dreaming when he saw it the other time, and thought that this strange thing ought to be investigated. So the next day Jimmy went to the town marshal and told him of his 'two encounters with the mysterious xcar. Earnest though Jimmy was while telling the story, the marshal laughed at him when he finished. A few minutes later the mayor entered and the marshal asked, Like to hear the story of a ghost car? The mayor said he would, so Jimmywrepeated his story. VVhen he finished he saw that the mayor, too, was laughing at him, and standing there under the smiling gaze of' these two men, Jimmy's story seemed somewhat dubious even to himself. ' After leaving the presence of these two men Jimmy was deter- mined to show them that he had seen a realcar and no ghost car, so he got in his Chrysler and rode out to the place where he had seen the car. But strangely enough, he could see no car tracks except those which his own car had made. For many days Jimmy had to endure the joking references of his friends to the ghost car. Twice later, when he had the opportunity after his father had closed the store, Jimmy drove over the hill road, but saw nothing more of his ghost car. Three weeks passed. Then Mr. Sams received a telegram from Larrington, a city thirty miles distant, saying that a certain order would have to be filled that day. Jimmy said he would take the things over, so Mr. Sams' loaded them in the tonneau of the Chrysler and Jimmy departed. It was early when he reached Larrington but Mr. Henderson needed some help and it was almost midnight when Jimmy started home. , Jimmy had passed the hill in the canyon when on the slope some distance away he saw a faint ray. It disappeared and then again cut the dark. Rounding a curve Jimmy came face to face with the glar- ing headlights of a car. He swerved aside and the car passed at a ter- rific speed. . A lucky escape for that jay driver, thought Jimmy. He looked back to see if the car had gained the road again, but he found that it had vanished. Then with a thrill it came to him that this was the Ghost Car. He would find out where it went if it took him all night! He turned his car around and raced back. He saw the light again in the distance and then it disappeared. . ' I A few minutes later Jimmy saw headlights coming toward him. He stopped his car and stepped out. As the car approached he stood in the middle of the narrow road and' held uii his hand. The car-cam-ef to a stop as it was too narrow for it to passlf a - What do you want? .asked the trembling voice of a womani' I only wanted to ask you if you met a car back there? answered Jimmy. g 1 No, said the woman,,-f we have met potcar since we left. Lar- ringtonf' U I , All right, said Jimmy, as he stood aside to allow the Car tblpass. So it's somewhere in,.the hills, mused he. Jimmy drove on to the bridge in the canyon and ,then getting out he sat onthe running board of his car to think. A f . Wild Horse Canyon, as the place was called, led off to the left. The legend ran that during the days when horse rustlers roamed the place, this was the rendezvous of the rustlers and that they hid, horses in its recesses. The legend ran on that the settlers around the canyon had surrounded it, had a pitched battle and recovered many of their horses. V f Jimmy was thinking of this tale as he sat there and swept the surrounding slopes with his spotlight. And then he heard the put-put of a motor. He scanned' the road but could see nothing. Then .he put his ear to the ground and listened. He heard the faint purr of an engine some distance and apparently the sound came from the canyon. He went toward the direction from which the sound .seemed to Colne. He started through the dead bushes but stopped abruptly. What was this? Didn't these bushes have roots? He could .knock them down with only a sweep of his hand. As Jimmy went forward every bush fell down as he touched them. Then he noticed that they had no roots but had a small box-like devise on the end to support them. Jimmy was becoming very excited by this time. The bushes had certainly been placed there to conceal something. He hastened on until he came to a fence which proved to be only a buttonwood sap- ling placed on two props. Looking down Jimmy saw that a car passed through the fence so he kept on going. Then again came the purr of an engine and the sound of iron against iron. Bumping against jagged rocks Jimmy stumbled on. He was afraid to use his flashlight for fear someone would see him. The path was just wide enough for a car to pass, but as Jimmy rounded a bend it become somewhat wider. Jimmy went on a few hundred rods and then the path narrowed again. Jimmy could hear the purr of an engine closer and closer. He sidled along the rocks and there before him on the sod he saw a queer sight. Sitting on a rock were three men busy with a car. The lights of another were trained upon the car and in the distance Jimmy could see four or five more cars. VVhat a joke on the city marshal, thought Jimmyg but with this thought came another. He needed the marshal now-the sooner the better, for he felt that these men meant no good. X Reluctantly he crawled out again and made his way to his car. As he went he set up the bushes once more. I guess I better wait until they get tuned up before I start -thought Jimmy. So when the purr seemed loudest he started the engine and drove toward town. Now to find the marshal, said Jimmy to himself. He finally located him at the club and asked to speak to him. Jimmy told the marshal about the ghost car and the marshal was very much irritated. To think, he exclaimed disgustedly, that you called me out here just to tell me that story again. ' Oh, but it isn't a ghost story now, answered Jimmy and he told the marshal of his discovery. I I'll get my hat and gun and come right out, replied the marshal. You better bring a couple more men along, suggested Jimmy. . The marshal, accompanied by two more men appeared and jumped into the car with Jimmy. It was not long until the quartette reached the bridge and Jimmy made straight for the bushes. The marshal protested, but soon he saw the bushes fall over as the car hit them. Get out While I block the car, said Jimmy, and the other three jumped out. Jimmy led the way into the canyon and the other three men stumbled after him. They had not gone far when they saw the glare of headlights coming toward them. A bullet spattered the rock ahead of them. Instinctively they dodged and crouched against the wall just as the car passed them. Jimmy knew what would happen when the car reached the fence. Racing for the well-concealed entrance into the canyon went the car only to see an automobile parked in its way. A squeak of brakes, a shatter of glass and then-silence. The marshal and Jimmy with the other two men rushed to the car and found the driver unconscious. The marshal ordered the two aids to take the unconscious man to a hospital. Jimmy and I will stay here and investigate, he added. Jimmy and the marshal made their way back into the canyon. On reaching the hiding place they found many appliances for altering the appearance of cars and they also found five automobiles. Say, Jimmy, I know now the meaning of this. Within the last few weeks many people have reported their automobiles stolen and have asked me to try to recover them. There is not only a reward out for every automobile recovered, but also a reward of S200 for each man captured who is connected with the stealing. It seems to me the rewards are due you, thanks to your bravery and cool-headednessf' The marshal told Jimmy this and Jimmy answered, Thanks to bravery and cool-headedness nothing. Thanks to Chris Luck. -Mildred Tewalt. THE REWARD Jim Caldwell, a stalwart youth of seventeen, was tall and lean, with gray eyes and a somewhat freckled countenance. Early upon this particular morning-it was the morning of his birthday-he was seen to be gathering various articles together in his mother's favorite part of the house namely, the kitchen. A water can- teen, knapsack, flashlight, rifle and a supply of cartridges comprised the outfit. After he attached this array of formidable looking articles to various convenient points on his person, and after he had received much advice about being careful, he set out across the fields and was soon lost in the distance. Because of his love for nature, he spent much time in the woods. From childhood he had been taught 'to love and to respect nature. He had taken a keen interest in scouting and the few books which he had bought from time to time he had committed to memory. It was no wonder we found him roaming through the aisles of the forest. for at this time of the year the woods of Michigan were mantled in such a magnificent display of wealth that it would blight the glory of the ancient Egyptian kings. He was not lonely in the big woods for there was plenty of life to keep him from being so. Squirrels and chipmunks ran hither and thither engaged in gathering stores of food to be eaten during the long hard winter. Blue jays cried incessantly from the treetops, and bands of crows could be heard cawing in the distance. After about an hour's travel the landscape changed violently. The beautiful rolling hills had passed away and in their place stood steep hills with deep ravines and gullies at the foot of the incline. Huge boulders barred the way. These doubtless had been placed there tens of thousands of years ago during the ice age. Throughout all these years they had remained thus, defying wind, rain, frost, heat and cold, and throughout countless ages to come would continue to defy nature's forces, in spite of the fact that they were the losers. Vines, thickets and briar entanglements added to the difficulty of progress. It was a wild rugged scene, well adapted as a rendezvous for the craftier and more timid creatures. This was a section of the world where the foot of man was an almost unknown thing. After some exhausting travel in this wilderness, Jim came to a place where a spring gushed forth from under a rock. Here he re- freshed and strengthened himself by the water and by food which he produced from the knapsack. Once more the journey began. He climbed out of the ravine and found himself again on rolling ground. He had, however, taken but a few steps when he heard a crashing in the underbrush in front of him and the next moment he was face to face with two men. Both were of medium height and of stocky build, that was sug- gestive of strength. Their eyes, which were piercing black, were set behind a mask of whiskers which completely hid their true features and made them none the less sinister and forbidding. Both wore complete corduroy suits and high topped leather boots. Both carried rifles. What are you doing here? demanded the one. Jim explained his presence. The men talked briefly in a foreign tongue. Think you can get away with that stud, do you? Well, you come along with us. The men shifted their rifles meaningly. Jim went. After a short period of progress they came to a clearing, in the center of which was a small log cabin. They entered the cabin. The interior of the cabin was roughly finished. Directly opposite the door, along the wall, was a table. To the right of this were two built-in bunks. To the left of the table was a deep cupboard, rising about six feet from the floor, with two large doors. To the left of the entrance to the cabin was a rusty stove. Two benches and one box completed the arrangement. Immediately inside the entrance, to the right, was a trapdoor in the floor. The walls were covered with fish- ing, hunting and trapping devices and many pelts of various species. The trapdoor was opened and Jim was forced to descend into the cellar. A ladder, which had aided him in his descent, was removed and after a box had been let down, the trapdoor was securely fastened. There in the dark he sat, pondering over the situation. His dreams of finishing his high school work: then a course of civil engineer- ing in a technical collegeg and finally his life's work and success. Col- lege? He was not richg but he had set a goal for himself and in striv- ing for this he was following the example of one who had been born poor and had died poor-Abraham Lincoln. Success? He would iight for it. Long tunnels, huge bridges and tall skyscrapers would be the monuments to him. These dreams-the dreams of every boy- would they be snuffed out as the light of a candle? Presently he arose in order to examine the nature 'of the surroundings. His Hash- light disclosed that the prison was about twenty-tive feet long, four- teen feet wide, and seven feet deep. The walls were rigidly built of stones held together by mortar. The iioor was of hard packed earth. The fioor above was strongly built and the trapdoor was stoutly bat- tened with oak strips. Thus our hero was trapped like a rat with no means of escape. But, while there is life there is hope. Jim reasoned that if other men surmounted mountainous obstacles, was there not a chance for him also? Strategy was the key to the situation. The afternoon wore away and evening soon came. The men busied themselves with the preparation of the evening meal, the savory odors of which drifted through the fioor and reached Jim's nostrils. Food was passed to him and in spite of his predicament, he ate heartily of the appetizing dishes. The evening became night. Several pairs of heavy blankets were passed to him. Jim spread these on the iioor, rolled himself in them, and, after entrusting his fate to the Creator, was soon lost in slumber. He awoke suddenly, startled. Why should he awake in the middle of the night? A chill rapidly traversed his spine. A cold fear gripped him. The deathlike silence was broken by three distinct sounds, name- ly, the wind which roared and moaned through the forest, the raindrops which pitter-pattered on the leaves and on the window panes, and the deep and regular breathing of the men above. It was omnious and ter- rifying. Ah, what was that curious rasping sound? Again it was repeated. More chills in the vicinity of his spine. There, he had the solution-it was a mouse. Still the wind whistled and shrieked. Still the mouse gnawed. Perhaps it was working to liberate itself. lll' .--Y-v V V 7-----W - Again he felt startled. The mouse was gnawing wood, true, but why would it be chewing wood behind a stonewall? He quickly slipped from under the blankets and quietly walked to the other end of the room from whence the sound proceeded. Surely enough the sound came from behind the wall. It is strange, he mused, that a mouse would be chewing wood several feet under the ground. A new day came by the sound of feet and voices in the room above. Our hero opened his eyes wide. The episode of the previous night came back to him--a mouse gnawing wood behind the wall. A beam of sunlight found its way through a crack in the iioor and fell on the wall at which he was dreamily gazing. The voices of the men arrested his attention. Guess this will be the last day for the kid and such a pretty one, too, remarked the one. Uh, uh, declared the other, and we will have to make snappy work of it, for they will soon be searching for him. I hate to do it because it is a nasty job, but in the interest of our work it is absolutely necessary. We got our foot in it when we grabbed him, but I suspected something was up when I first saw him and we can't let the idiot loose now or they will come and arrest us for treating' him in such a manner. Besides, when we make our pile and quit these parts for Florida or Spain or Italy, where those pretty senioritas are, we will forget all about the murder. Sweet music to the ears of our hero this was. That beam of light which slowly traced its way across the wall was going to be the last one he would see. He must use the key-strategy. He had no weapon except the box, which was useless. His strength could not be pitted against that of his opponents. A shot and he would lie dead with the innocent blood pouring from a dark hole somewhere in his body. He thought desperately. The sunbeam now rested on a large rock-larger in fact than any of the others in the walls, so he noted. The rock had been worn smooth on the face by glacial action. If that is round on the other side, he reasoned, it must be a whopper and who would ever want such a large one for that purpose? Something is wrong and I must investigate. He tapped gently on all the walls. Three of them were dead, but the fourth one fthe mysterious onej gaveqiforth a slight hollow sound. Examination revealed, to his surprise, a fine but noticeable line offsepar- ation between the mortar and the large stone. By this time the men had finished their breakfast and were pro- ceeding to the trapdoor. Desperately he pushed on the stone. It would not yield. He attempted again. It stirred slightly. Seconds were precious. The latch of the trapdoor scraped on the floor. By pushing on the other edge of the stone he was able to move it slowly. If he could have only a few more seconds. D-m that door, exclaimed one of the men, it is stuck. Soon Jim swung the stone back, wriggled through the aperture, and closed the opening behind him. Immediately after a surprised face peered into the empty chamber. At home the day passed quickly. The sun rose high in the heavens., A slight breeze stirred the weeds in the fence corners and the various hued leaves on the trees, and drove fieecy clouds slowly across the blue expanse above. The sun was setting in the west and the shadows lengthened. Activity was resumed once more. Smoke lazily poured forth from the kitchen chimney and from within came the sounds of the rattling of dishes mingled with the indistinct murmurs of mother and daughter. The odors of good and wholesome food drifted through the open window. The father had finished his chores in the meantime. The sun set in the west-a great red ball of fire-amid a few clouds which reflected the golden light and magnified its glory. The shadows increased in length. Where but a few hours before it had been warm and sunshiny it was now cold. Night had come. How sweet and beautiful and sad was this picture. It was the lull before the storm. The preparations for supper were complete. The food was ready to be served. In the middle of the table was a cake bearing seventeen candles. The preparations were complete with one exception-the one whose birthday the cake represented was not there, nor did he come. The woman's anxiety increased with every hour. The husband com- forted her with a voice that was steady and a hand that was shaky. Their heads drooped and sleep softly overcame them while waiting for their boy. Outside the dark clouds rapidly gathered and obscured the stars. The wind, increasing in stresgth, screamed through the forest. Dawn was just breaking with a rudy glow over the eastern hor- izon, and occasionly the sturdy challenge of chanticleer floated on the solemn stillness over the gray hills. A band of men, among whom was Jim's father, was silhouetted against the crimson sky for an instant and then plunged from view on the other side of the hill. In the meantime Jim was in a pecarious position, being sought after by men of a dangerous character. His flashlight revealed a wasp on the stone door and a wooden pin which hung from it sufficed to secure his retreat by locking the door. Opposite the door was a tunnel which led away into the darkness. To the right of the door was a small vertical ladder. Both men were in the cellar by this time. If he could only shut the trapdoor. He climbed rapidly up the ladder. Attached to a horizontal board above his head was a wooden handle. He shoved up on it. Nothing happened. He tried again with the same result. He pulled down and still nothing happened. He shoved sideways and the board moved, revealing a hole about three feet square. When he had passed through the hole he found that he was in the cupboard. The door in front of him was fastened by a revolving wooden button on the outside. He put his shoulder against the door and shoved. It yielded with considerable noise. The men below rushed for the trapdoor-so did Jim. Brown fingers clasped the side of the hole. The heavy trapdoor crashed shut and the crushed and bleeding fingers were quickly withdrawn amid howls of pain and defeat. A figure flashed out of the door, but it stopped short for it had collided with another- his father. That afternoon Jim and his father received notice that they were to appear at the bank in the nearby town. Here the banker told Jim that he was entitled to a two-thousand dollar reward for capturing one of the best organized and most troublesome bands of money coun- terfeiters in the country. At last his dreams of college had become a reality. FINIS -Edward C. Lee, '28, THE CLASS STICK The scene of our story is a college town among the hills of South- ern Ohio. The elevation gives the place pure air, pure water and views of great beauty. The town is a delightful place of great traditions and memories. Here many noted men and women obtained their training. M llege library is a large stone building with a row of windows on each side. Here the students have access to about 15,000 volumes. On the inside groups of them are accustomed to assemble at the long tables. Frequently they whisper and laugh together. One afternoon late in April, quite apart from the rest, a girl sat at one table intently studying a large bulky volume. Her eyes were brown and she wore glasses with large shell rims. Her clothing was neat but very severe. Her dress was black with a stiff white collar and cuffs. She wore black hosiery and low heeled black oxfords. Her dark straight hair was very simply arranged with a roll in the back. This was Virginia Larrimore, a quiet, studious girl. Soon a gay light-haired girl from one of the other tables came hurrying over to Virginia's table. Her dress was scarlet and her wide skirt fairly flew in the breeze. VVill you help me with this stupid problem, Virginia? she asked. It was a problem in spherical trigon- ometry, a diiicult one, but Virginia, who was very much interested in mathematics. mastered it in a few minutes. Thank you, I never can see through the silly things, was her reward and the girl in the scarlet dress hurried away with the jolly group at her table. Soon Virginia was bothered again, this time it was to translate a passage in French. When it was finished her pupil hurried off. If they would only stop and talk a minute, thought Virginia, as the tall handsome young fel- low disappeared into the cloak room. Won,t you please make that report at Literary Society tomor- row? asked the girl who made the next interruption, I promised that I would, but I won't have time to prepare it. You will, won't you? That's a dear, and the girl was gone. When Virginia had finished her lesson, she closed the book and put it on the shelf. She took off the glasses and slipped them in her pocket, She was really attractive when you could see her sparkling dark brown eyes and if she had waved her hair a bit instead of comb- ing it back so tightly she would have been really pretty. She picked up her black leather note book and went to the cloak room for her hat. There was a small room just of the cloak room and as she adjusted her hat she heard through the door the voice of a young man, the one she had helped with the French passage a few minutes before. Virginia Larrimore would be the most capable person for the place? But we can't have her in charge of the College Fair. Jack. why she-she is the class stick, said another voice. Oh, so that's it thought Virginia. A queer smile played on her lips. We'll see, she said softly and walked quietly out of the library to- ward Fenton Hall where she roomed. That evening there was a college party and dance. Virginia did not go, she had always found college parties dull but she hoped that would never happen again. She stayed in her room and laid plans to convince Fred Stoll, whose voice she had recognized, that she was not the class stick. The next week college broke up for spring vacation. Almost every one went home or to some friend's home to spend the week, but Virginia's home was too far away and she did not receive any invitations, so she stayed at school. This was a good opportunity to work out her plan. On Monday morning Virginia took the bus to the city. The ride over the wide concrete road was a pleasant one. When she arrived in the city she made her way to Steins, a store that specialized in women's apparel. Luckily a fine saleswoman waited on her and helped her select a wardrobe like the other girls, only even more attractive, such clever sport frocks, something new for classes, and a gorgeous evening dress. Virginia's plans could not all be carried out in one day. She made many trips. On Friday she had her hair shampooed and curled. The girl fastened it with such pins and combs as were seen to be most becoming. Virginia watched her carefully so she could ar- range it herself. Besides this she took a dancing lesson every day from a splendid instructor and made rapid progress. Before going back to the college on Saturday she went to a confectionery store and the flor- ists and left a standing order for candy and flowers to be sent every week to her college address. On Saturday evening she spent her time writing letters, stacks of them. Half of them were addressed to herself, and the other half to Mr. Hillard Lloyd, Robinson, Illinois. She chose that name because it sounded well. Too bad to waste so much lovely stationery on myself and the dead letter office, she thought, but it has to be done. School activities were resumed again on Monday morning. Every one was surprised to see Virginia appear in a frock of printed wool challie with an animated patterning of red and white and a youthful Peter Pan collar. Her hair was arranged in a becoming manner and the shell rimmed glasses had disappeared. When the letters, flowers and candy began to pour in, her class- mates were consumed with curiosity. She did not attempt to conceal from them the address of the letters she sent. Mr. Hillard Lloyd, they would say. I never heard of such a personf' Neither had Vir- ginia! She began to receive loads of invitations to luncheons and teas. When asked about the letters she only smiled so naturally her friends became more and more curious. Then came the night of the Junior-senior Prom. Virginia was a picture. Her dress was a marvel of colors. Shades of orange that only those of her coloring can wear, but colors glorious for them. Her arms were like carved ivory. There was a glittering band through the soft- ness of her hair. The fullness of her frock drooped from a short front to a length almost touching the heels of her slippers. There was dancing in the great rooms which were cleared for the purpose and decorated with every art of th florist. The music was of a more perfect than Virginia had ever hear and the strains which as- sailed her ears made her wild to dance to every note. She was besieged with invitations. Suddenly there was a murmur throughout the room. Someone here to see Virginia. She'll be surprised, She didn't expect him, did she? Virginia had just been rearranging the poppies in a huge basket and laughing over something with one of the girls when she looked up and saw him. He was a handsome young man, faultlessly attired. His face and hands wore a light coat of tan and he looked strong and virile. There was no one among the college men who rivalled him in appearance. In a palm-shadowed corner well removed from observation, explan- ations were made. The recipient of the letters had not been the dead letter office but this very alive young man, Hillard Lloyd of Robinson. Illinois. Virginia finally finished her part of the explanation. It had been rather hard to make because she could see laughter sparkling in Hil- lard's mischievous eyes. This is the last dance, may I have it? he asked. Yes, if you don't mind dancing with the class stick,', was her reply. -Mildred Burman. THE. ORPHAN Little Dickie Irving was awakened one night by cries of a baby. He listened for awhile, slipped out of his crib and quietly ran down the stairs. There in the library he saw his mother and father anxiously Watching his own nurse, who was rocking a child of about his own age. The three year old baby jealously ran in to claim his nurse for himself. To his horror and dismay he found this crying baby was to be his play- mate. He puckered his mouth and declared he didn't want it and that nursie should take it away. But his nurse was busy soothing the in- truder, so proud little Richard found himself neglected for the first time of his whole existence. Thus on the first night Dickie formed a dislike for Joseph who had become an orphan so suddenly. His young parents were travel- ing in a train when it was overturned. Joseph's mother was killed instantly and the father died shortly after his boyhood friend, Mr. Irving, had arrived at the hospital. Mr. Irving had promised to protect his friend's baby as he would his own. As they grew older and went to school, Dick seemed to grow more and more jealous. Even though Joseph was several months younger he excelled Dick in all their studies. But Dick lost no opportunity in reminding the other boy that he was but an orphan, dependent on Mr. Irving for his education. Joseph tried his best to make friends with Dick, but no matter what he did, Dick was only more antagonistic. NVhen they entered high' school, Dick began frequenting pool rooms, much to the distress of his parents. Joseph tried to persuade him to go to the Y. M. C. A. instead, but Dick would only insult him, so Joseph gave up. 'At last they were in college, Joseph having carried off the honors of his high school class. The boys were home for Christmas. One evening, when Dick's parents and the old negro valet, Tom, had gone out' of town, Joseph sat in his room half awake, half asleep, but was entirely awakened by some one rushing up the hall into his room. He turned quickly and there stood Dick-dishelved, distracted and un- tidy. The newcomer crossed the room and slouched down in the chair by the fireplace. A For heaven's sake, Dick, what's wrong? asked Joseph anxiously. Joe, the folks are gone for the day, so I've come to you. You have to give me some money to tide me over. Don't worry, I'll pay you back, but the pointis: I must have it now. Joseph didn't answer for a minute. He looked at Dick from head to foot. His feeling for avfellow who wasted all his father's money in gambling was pity and disgust. Yes, he knew what it was for. Many an allowance had he given to Dick to keep him out of trouble with his father. How much do you need, Dick? A hundred dollars, answered Dick, with his head buried in his hands. A hundred dollars! No, I won't give it to you. You won't, eh? Well, you will. I'll see that you do and you have my regrets if you donit, see? Oh, trying to scare me into it, are you? Well, just listen to me, Richard Irving, I won't pay any more of your gambling fees, so don't come to me with a sob story. You know what your father thinks of your hanging out at Simpson's anyway and if you want to gamble his money, you can, but you shan't use the money he gives me. Dick glared at Joseph for a few moments and then arose and walked to the door. Before opening it he turned, saying, I suppose you meant all you said, uh? Well, if you did,eit's just too bad for you. Remember that. And also remember that you'd be in the gutter if it were not for my father and maybe you'll soon find yourself there as it is. With that he slammed the door and was gone. ' The next evening at dinner Mr. Irving looked worried and when they were leaving theidining room, he said, Boys, I'd like to see you both in my study for a few minutes, please. Joseph was very much surprised because he seldom saw his guar- dian so serious as he seemed this evening. The elder Irving motioned the lads to be seated and then said, Now, boys, I'm going to ask you something and I expect the truth. Last evening, after your mother and I returned, I went to my desk in this room to write some letters. I casually noticed one of the drawers partly opened and on investigation found the envelope in which I had one hundred and fifty dollars gone. Joseph started in his chair and turned crimson as he looked suspi- ciously at Dick, who sat there smoking a cigarette as unconcernedly as if his father were not speaking. Mr. Irving glanced at Joseph with a look of surprise but continued, Now, boys, you know that, excepting my wife and my old valet, Tom, no one knows where I keep my desk key but you two. I feel positive one of you has done the foolish and absurd thing of taking it. It's not the sum, my boys, itis the principle of it that bothers me. You both know I'd gladly give up one hundred dollars or more to either of you if it was for some good reason. Silence reigned in the study for what seemed to be ages to Joseph, who looked at Dick, wondering how he could sit there so calmly and keep silent. At last he spoke, Mr. Irving, I am sorry the money is gone and I give you my word I have not seen or touched any of your money except your liberal allowances. I hope you trust me. The guardian shook his head sadly, Yes, that's the difficulty. I have always trusted you both. But now one has slipped. Oh, Joseph- Richard-which of you is a theif? At that Dick rose and, after tossing his cigarette into the fire, faced his father. At that Joseph inwardly smiled and thought, At last his conscience hurts him. He will tell now. But this is what Dick told his father: Dad, I can't let it worry you any longer. I hate to tell it but I must. Last evening I'came into your study here -to get my book and found Joseph at your desk- At that Joseph was on his feet. Mr. Irving severely said, Joseph, be seated! When Richard is finished, you may speak. Not before. Dick gave the boy a sneering smile and continued, As I said he was at your desk. I saw he had bills in his hand but how many I did not know. When he saw me he begged me to give him one hundred dol- lars as he needed it badly. As you know I am usually hard up, so I told him to wait until you got home. But he said it was urgent and that he would return it to your desk as soon as he got his allowance. I warned him, father, but there-you have housed a theif for fifteen years. This time when Joseph leaped to his feet Mr. Irving did not stop him. Then the boy told his guardian of the scene of the evening before and denied all that Dick had said. When Joseph had finished, Dick smiled and said, Father, which do you believe? One of us is a liar and a theif. Which is it? Is it your son? With that he left the room. The nights following were sleepless ones for Mr. Irving. Which was the theif? Surely not that quiet studious lad, but then-it couldn't be his son. No, an Irving would not lie-would not steal. No, Joseph must be the culprit. Accordingly he told the distracted boy of his decision and gave him his forgiveness providing Joseph would confess. This cut Joseph to the heart. A theif! So consequently that night he left the Irving home-his home since babyhood. He left a note of regret to his kind benefactors and hoped they might learn the truth some day. Years had passed and Joseph was a well-known criminal lawyer of New York. Yes, he had had a hard life since that night he had left the Irving home. He had struggled his way through a college in California. It was hard for him, a boy accustomed to money, luxury and comforts. But he had succeeded and now he was very prominent in the court world and also in the social world. ' This lawyer sat at his desk mechanically going through a murdered manls papers. As he sat there he was thinking-the same old story. 'V I One man owes another. In the jangle one is killed. In this case the one in debt had thrown a paper weight, hitting the other on the temple. He shuddered. Yes, it was his duty to send that man to his death. At last he picked up a paper which attracted him. It said: Y Jake: Yes, I know I owe you that money. But I can't 'pay it yet, see? I can probably get it in a month. Remember, you. were caught red-handed in the Williams case, so shut up. You quit ragging me about that money or I'll-well, you will not be left to tell the tale. Dick. Joseph sat there in the dusk thinking about his life at the Irvings. The name Dick had made him think of his old school mate. What was he doing now? Joseph's temper stirred again when he thought of the home life, mother love and father's counsel that he had been deprived of because of Dick's lie. Just wait, some day he will be punished, thought the lawyer. The next day, on investigating the crime, he was shocked speech- less to find the murderer's name was Richard Irving. Oh, Joseph laughed to think at last he would have that liar within his power. The day for trial came and Joseph went to court knowing that that note he carried was enough to convict the criminal. He knew he would have no didiculty in turning the jury against the prisoner because he had had no funds to acquire for himself a capable lawyer: Yes, at last he had Richard Irving under his control. - The prisoner entered. A dejected, forlorn, stoop-shouldered young man of about thirty years. But Joseph recognized the clear blue eyes nf the boyhood companion and the dark hang still curled in the uncon- trollable manner. As the trial went on it came time for Joseph to arise and make his speech denouncing the prisoner as a murderer. The court room held its breath. Never yet had the young man lost a case either on the de- fensive or offensive side. Many came solely to hear this clever lawyer accuse. They wondered what he would say now to send this young law-breaker to his death. As Joseph stood there holding the note in his right hand, he looked steadily at the prisoner. The latter looked away but immediately brought his gaze back to the lawyer. A glance of recognition fiittered across the latter's countenance. He half arose and then sank back murmuring, Joe, Joe, save me. The cynical smile faded, the right hand was thrust into the coat, coming out empty handed. The crowd stared with amazement. Where had the lawyer's enthusiasm and usual ferver gone? His speech was fiat, his points weak and the public was given no startling unknown fact, usually so prominent in the young man's addresses.

At last, unable to bear it any longer, he mounted a chair and looked over the partition. Seeing a boy a little taller than the others talking a great deal, he leaned over, hoisted him over the partition, and banged him into a chair in his room, saying: Now be quiet. A quarter of an hour later a smaller head appeared around the door and a meek little voice said: Please, sir, you've got our teacher, Mr. Williams. He Knew His Father Suppose, said a father to Carl Miller, you have half an apple and I give you another half. How much have you? A whole apple, said Carl. VVell, continued the father, suppose you had a half dollar and I gave you another half dollar. What would you have then? A fit, promptly answered Carl. A young man told his girl the other night that if she didn't marry him he'd get a rope and hang himself right in front of her house. Oh, please, don't do it, dear, she said, you know father doesn't want you hanging around here. An Irishman while being naturalized was asked, Have you read the Declaration of Independence?

Patrick hesitated but the fraction of a second before replying: I have red hairs on me neck, yer Honor. Taking No Chances An Epileptic dropped in a fit on the streets of Boston not long ago, and was taken to a hospital.

My appendix has already been removed twice. . There Was a Chance Going to send your boy on an ocean trip, are you? said a friend to Mr. Martin. u I Yes, replied the father.

Yes, said Mrs. Hicks, I heard a noise and got up, and there from under the bed I saw a man's legs sticking out. Mercy, exclaimed a woman- the burglar's legs? 'No, my dear, my husband's legs. He had heard the noise, too. A Riddle to Willie I asked my Pa a simple thing: Where holes in doughnuts go? Pa read his paper, then he said: Oh, you're too young to know.
