Therefore the Creator holds each person responsible for the way he uses his own life. Harry D. Craig was handicapped from childhood by an affliction that has made beggars and paupers of thousands. One forgot the deformity when he knew the man. Cheerfulness, optimism, agreeableness, hopefulness,-these qualities made it impossible to feel unkindly toward him, and put aside any sentiment of pity for his affliction. One felt that he did not expect or need pity. - He was engaged for years in an occupation that arouses antagonism among many people. But so sincere were his motives in trying to do his duty as an officer that he made, few, perhaps no lasting enemies. He was loyal to superiors and to the schools in which he worked so long. They were his schools as much as any one's. He was interested in every pupil and every teacher. His conversation, as well as his actions, testified to it. One of his most agreeable qualities was his constant readiness to render service to others. No request to perform a service within his power was ever denied. He would find time to go out of his way to serve anyone who claimed his service, and it was always done cheerfully. Perhaps the brightest spot in his comparatively brief life centered in his family. There was nothing within his power that he would not do for them. His home life with three healthy, growing children was the greatest joy of his life-a life that held none too many pleasures. He was a friend to his own children, and to thousands of others as well. ' ' No more certain proof of the esteem in which he was held could be found than this, that the students with whom he has worked as Attendance Officer for years sho ld l fi give him a place in their most valued publication, The Blue and Gold.

Columbian High School tit is not necessary to state where this High' School is located, as everybody knows.J To whom it may concern: Knowing that the uncertainty of passing and the liability of flunking, we, the Seniors of '29, being of sound mind and great understanding, do solemnly and conscientiously bequeath the surrounding lawn, High School building,athletic field and other articles too numerous to mention, as fol- lowsg Article 1.

Being the upper classmen at the Junior High School, our position as Ufreshiesu was highly exalted. Although our class was not organized that year we were ably repre- sented on the Tiffinian staff by Inez Webster, Margaret Wetzel, Richard Stoner, Dorothy DeBusman. Edward Lautermilch and Mary Jane Moore- head. The Freshmen also took an active part in the Girl's Glee Club, the Orchestra, and in the Operetta presented that year. The event of our graduation from the Junior High School crowned the efforts of that first year. With great anticipation we entered Columbian High the following Fall. Our air of importance was short-lived, however, and we were forced to realize our utter insignificance. In spite of this fact, we soon learned to love Columbian High and her teachers and we discovered, to our joy, that the upper classmen were really quite friendly after all. Without delay our class was organized and we elected: Ralph Keil ----- President Vinnie Dolch - Vice President Richard Stoner ---- Secretary Donald Hart ----- Treasurer We chose scarlet and white as our colors, the red peony as our flower, and We Seek Wisdom as our motto. As Sophomores, our class shone creditably in the student activities. Ruth Courtney, Calena Crum, Robert Gross, and Edward Lautermilch represented us on the Tiffinian staff 3 Inez Webster represented us on the regular debate team and Ruth Grossman and Elizabeth Kohli on the girl's debate team, Ruth Grossman, Inez Webster, and Ralph Keil por- trayed leading characters in the operetta, The Belleaof Barcelona. In athletics both the boys and the girls engaged successfullyg the latter being the champions of the High School. The Sophomores also made creditable records in the clubs and organizations of the school that year. In May occurred the leading social event of the season. the Sopho- more Class Party. Will we ever forget the good time we had? And then we were Juniors! As such, we chose: Donald Hart ----- President Robert Gross - - Vice President Margaret Wetzel - Secretary Richard Murray - Treasurer ' 4 if 'fu i.-, 0: rmamufv 'Q' K Q s L I X 5 K. On the Tiffinian staH were Ruth Courtney, Ralph Keil, Calena Crum and Edward Lautermilch. In April the Junior Class published the issue of the Tiflinian. Ruth Grossman and Inez Webster were our successful debaters that year. During the year we sponsored a Junior-Faculty basket-ball game to help raise funds for the Junior-Senior banquet, which was held in May. At that time we gave the Seniors a worthy banquet on board the good ship Columbian Then came examinations, and now- We are Seniors! We have gained the top of the ladder and may now look out upon life, which we have been so diligently preparing to face dur- ing the past years. To guide our affairs during our final year we selected: Ralph Keil ----- President Robert Gross - Vice President Inez Webster ----- Secretary Donald Hart ----- Treasurer The Seniors have contributed to the success of the High School ath- letics this season. We wish to congratulate Gene Rust, who was chosen captain of the football team this year, and the other Senior athletes-Red Briney, Norbert Flechtner. George Flechtner. John Beck. Jean Keller, Paul Sidebotham, Bob France, Joe Keller, Bill Harmon, and Burton Sheely. Annabelle Martin, our peppy cheer leader, led us in cheering the teams, debate and athletic, to victory. To the Tiflinian Staff we elected Ralph Keil, who became the capable editor of the publication, Dorothy DeBusman. Annabelle Martin, Ruth Grossman, Edward Lautermilch, and Edward Hawkins. To manage the publication of the Blue and Gold. we chose Margaret Wetzel, Roland Silverman, Richard Stoner. Ruth Courtney, Olive Roof, John Beck, Mary Etta Miller, and Rodsworth Briney. For the first time in the history of Columbian High School the honors were divided among three students. We extend hearty congratulations to Margaret Wetzel, Mary Etta Miller, and Marjorie Bowman, valedictorians and salutatorian, respectively. In debate Ruth Grossman, Inez Webster-now experienced debaters- Mercedes Mohr and Paul Sidebotham capably represented us. The main social events of this year were the Senior Prom held at the Masonic temple in February and the Junior-Senior banquet, with which the Juniors honored the Seniors in May. Rev. Reagle was chosen to preach the Baccalaureate Sermon to the class on June second. And now comes-Graduation. After four such years, the the class of '29 bids dear old Columbian High School, Farewell -Olive Roof. -E '1' 1 J Q NN L.. C li sr.,-' CA QRBRINE Y J sg. fi .

The truth is we felt quite grown up, and shall we say sophisticated? when we entered Junior High as Freshmen on that memorable day, September 8, 1928. That was three long years ago, and Oli, what glorious years they've been. Years filled with all kinds of strange experiences-enough to fill a book. Let us just review the high spots of those years here. We did not organize our class in our Freshman year. However, we en- tered into the various school activities with great interest. Some of our classmates became members of the Junior High Glee Club, Orchestra, Slossen Science Club, and also the Band. We were represented on the Tiflinian Staif by eight of our members. We also were proud of the fact that several Freshmen had important roles in the operetta, The Bell of Barcelona. Freshman Class Night was our Red Letter Day for that year. It also marked the end of our days at Junior High. And then Sophomores! Another honor was bestowed upon us, we became a part of that most wonderful Columbian High. However, the Juniors and Seniors soon taught us our place and we. the insignificant sophomores, could do nothing but submit. But in a short time we became acquainted and found many friends among our new schoolmates and teachers. That year we organized our class, choosing the following oflicers: John D. Weller, president: Dorothy Smythe, vice president: Frank Wolfe, secretary, and Mary Naylor, treasurer. We selected as our class colors, silver and magentag and chose, Our Best for T. H. S., as our motto. We were represented on the Tiflinian Staff bv John D. Weller, Margaret Martin, Dorothy Smvthe and Frederick Kriete Manv of the girls ioined the Glee Clubg John D. Weller and Frederick Kriete joined the debate team. Our Sophomore Class Party was the out-standing event of that year and one which we shall never forget. And now we are Juniors! This has been a most eventful year for us all. In electing our officers we chose the following students: George Wentz, president, Dorothy Smythe, vice president, Erdine Lonsway, secretary, and John D. Weller, treasurer. We chose for the Tiliinian Staff Louise Nye, Margaret Martin, Thomas McGinnis, and Milo Cramer. Eugene Mount and John D. Weller were our debaters for this year. Thelma Van Nette, Helen Detrick, and Pauline Good were chosen from our class to sing in the All State chorus at Columbus during the Holidays. Then, too, some of the Juniors had leading roles in the Dramatic Club Play, Is Zat So? On March 22, the Juniors played a basketball game with the faculty. It is needless to say that this was the most exciting basketball game of the season for the Juniors-and perhaps for the faculty too. The most important social affair of this year was the J unior-Senior Banquet, and one which we shall always remember. f 3 Next year we shall be Seniorsiand that will be our last year at gf: ' Y A old Columbian High the high school we have learned to love so well ll t L...

CRBRINEY qqi D fe K SOPHOMORE CLASS HISTORY al .N al When a group of a hundred and eighty of us finally took up permanent residence on the third floor of the Junior High school one bright Septem- ber day in 1927, we were henceforth formally known as the class of '31. Although we did not organize, we elected four of our classmates to the Tifiinian Staff over which Robert Bruce was elected editor. We had representatives in practically all of the schools' activities including the Glee Club, Orchestra, and the High School Band. The principal event of the year was our Class Night on which we presented a play and musical numbers, After that we realized that our Freshman days were over and we could assume the role of Sophs. Last September we entered Columbian-High School and were soon to realize that the upper classmen did not appreciate the piifvilege of? asso- ciating with us, for everywhere we heard scandalized -cries-V of Whose Sophomoresn. We have born these insults noblyg all we ask is a chance at next year's Sophomores. Profiting by the mistakes of the preceding classes, wefrdecided to or- ganize early in the year. We elected the following oiiicers: Lewis Chester, presidentg Robert Bruce, vice presidentg Helen Dreitzler, Secretaryg Web- ster Young, treasurer. At the same time we chose Helen Dreitzler, Ruth Lust, Wilbert Briney and Lewis Chester to represent us on the Tifiinian Staff. Later in the year we selected American Beauty rose as our flower, and In this sign, '31, we conquer , as our motto. We surely hope that we have conquered all the discouragements that we have met this year. Most of our girls joined the Girl Reserves, while the boys went out for the Science Club and the Band. We also had representatives in the Glee Club, Orchestra, Debate, and the Dramatic Club. Many of the boys were out for football-Thomas Downey earning the coveted T , and plenty of Sophomore subs warming the benches. We are looking forward to our May Prom 'as it will. be o'u.r..first1-real class party. We have earnestly supported the activities of the. school and worked for it to the best of our ability 5 and as the end of this year draws near, we feel that our Sophomore work has sufficiently prepared us to take on the dignified name and manners of Juniors . -Ruth Lust.

Our officers were: President ---- Ruth Courtney Vice President Annabelle Martin Secretary - - Dorothy Gouker Treasurer - - Olive Roof Librarians Mary Jane Moorhead Fanny Schwab The activities of our club this year have been many. Our first public appearance was made before the'Seneca County Teacher's Institute. The girls assisted by the children of the lower grades gave a Christmas play. Our outstanding efort was the sending of thirteen girls including our faithful accompanist to Columbus to sing in an all State chorus. The girls were: Mary Etta Miller, Ruth Grossman, Helen Detrick, Inez Webster, Marjorie Bishop, Lucille Dornan, Madeline Kelly, Pauline Good, Thelma VanNette, Martha Koch, Ruth Courtney, Dorothy Gouker, and Georgia Bull. Our club also gave a concert at St. Paul's M. E. church in February and of course we must not forget to mention our appearances at the debates. And now the Senior Girls of the club bid farewell to their fellow mem- bers and their able director Miss Bastian, with this wish that the future career of the club may be even more successful than the past. fi Q KK 5 ia? li. s' f-I H GI l i,g cnemun f ,' 5 -iff! 52 it ff I 'W as 'fm 9 Q i I BAND First Row-Robert Frey.

So it has been with the Dramatic Club since its founding six year ago. Once each year that knock comes at the door of the Club, and a failure to answer it cannot be found anywhere in the History of the Club. When the Class of '29 entered the Club as Sophs they saw the chal- lenge answered by The Haunted House, under the direction of Miss Mary Hartmann, the founder and first adviser of the Club. It was a splendid suc- cess and started the Club on the road to bigger and better plays. Then as Juniors they saw the Club take its next step along that road by producing The Poor Nutf' This was under the direction of Miss Kathryn Koller, a director to whom the Club may point with pride. Finally, as Seniors, they saw the Club take, not a step, but a stride along the grease-paint road to fame. Seldom has any amateur produc- tion equaled that of Is Zat So , which was under the competent direction of Miss'Laura Schad. Success has come also in reorganizing the Club. A new Constitution has been drawn up, and the qualifications for membership have been changed completely. The scanty property list of the Club has been increased considerably this year. An attractive full-size reversible Hoorcovering, and a handsome collapsible fire-place were purchased. No dramatic organization can func- tion properly without the necessary props , and these two additions were more than wise. Included in the cast for this year's production were some real finds . Perhaps the most pleasing was that of Richard Stoner. It is too bad that we had to wait until he was a Senior to learn of his talent for Dramatics. It was also a pleasure to Hnd that the new member in our Senior family is so well trained and talented. We may well be proud of John Beck. Of course, our old veteran show peoplew gave us their usual support. Then, too, the Juniors got a splendid start and should help to make next year's production a real success. It seems that slowly, but surely, the Club is becoming bigger and better in every way. And now, as we, the Seniors, leave the ranks of the Club, we challenge the remaining members to answer the Knock even more successfully next year. A for J I. L- 4 ,nr 'lui-Ji 5 f--1 Cfj gil.

Neither do we regret the long hours spent as we collected, bit by bit, the material which now comprises the book which you, dear reader, have be- fore you. Since our work is now but a pleasant experience, we of the Staff must pause here to express our appreciation and thanks to all those through whose co-operation we have thus accomplished our task-espec- ially the Class of '29 who early in the school year 1928-1929 sent us for- ward to our task in such a way that we, as their representatives were filled with the determination and will to make this annual the best and most successful annual ever published by any Senior Class of the Tifhn High School. The Staff has worked its hardest for you, Class of '29, and it asks only that the book may be treasured and cherished as a fond remembrance of Happy School Days spent in T. H. S. Moreover the editor in all sincerity Wishes to express her own appre- ciation and gratitude, as also voiced by her classmates, to those individ- uals whose untiring labors brought this success: To Richard Stoner who as business manager so ably handled the financial problems which confronted the Staff. The high type of print- ing and engraving which make up the annual form a lasting spokesman to his efiicient work. To Roland Silverman who as associate editor and Snapshot editor aided any department which was most in need of a helping hand. To Ruth Courtney who as literary editor secured such fine write-ups of each organization that it will be a pleasure to read them. To Rodsworth Briney who as an art editor certainly lived up to his rep- utation as an artist and left his work in the annual as a testimonial of his skill. To John Beck who as athletic editor so ably handled his work that he again pictures for us the battles, defeats and victories of the Tiffin High athletes. To Olive Roof who as Staff secretary and Alumni editor secured the greeting from distant Alumni which brighten the annual. To Mary Etta Miller who as jokes editor collected the choice bits of humor and wit and left them to us to enjoy as we read those pages of the annual. u And last but by no means least to Miss Dutt and Mr. Lutz who so faithfully and earnestly worked with this group of unskilled journalists until the last page of the Blue and Gold had been successfully edited.

TIFFINIAN STAFF Once again the school year draws to a close and once again we are called upon to describe the work of the Tiffinian, our school paper. This year we published eight numbers in magazine form. The work was done entirely out side of classrooms and not by a class in journalism, as is the case in so many schools. It was decided to make the magazine larger in size. The style was brought up to that of other school magazines and we believe that this year's Tiffinian can be claimed a success. The staff was reorganized this year. The editor and assistant editor were chosen by the principal, and not elected by the Senior class. In time the whole staff will be placed on a competitive basis. The assistant editor was Ruth Grossman. She helped the editor in arranging and in collecting all the material. Her ideas we-re greatly appreciated. The literary section was in charge of Dorothy DeBusman and Mar- garet Martin, under whose supervision many fine stories were published. These girls worked hard in collecting good material. Ruth Lust who served as feature editor contributed manv special articles and was the originator of Magi Lar Ceni . Her position was created this year. All the school news was edited by Louise Nye and Helen Dreitzler. The Alumni and Exchange departments were placed under super- vision of Margaret Martin. Many fine criticisms were given by Margaret on the exchanges we received from all parts of the country. Thomas McGinnis took care of the athletic section. His write-ups included a brief review of the games and the line-ups. Thomas certainly worked hard to bring the athletic section up to standard. The Humor section was in charge of Annabelle Martin. Annabelle always selected many fine iokes, but her section usually suffered for lack of space. There wasfnearly. always toomuch other material. r This year Junior Hi. organized a fine staff over'which they placed Donald Searles. Harvey Barret served as his assistant and business man- ager. Some very fine material was collected and submitted by this staff. Two cover designs were also made at Junior Hi. This is the first time that their artists have been recognized. The business staff had a large part in the success of the magazine. Since the cost of each issue runs close to eighty dollars, it was necessary to have an efficient business department, and to Edward Lautermilch goes much of the credit for its success. This year ends Edls fourth year on the Tiffinian Staff. The soliciting for advertising matter was done by Milo Cramer and Lewis Chester. These boys did some mighty fine work. The circulation managers, Edward Hawkins and Wilbur Briney, took charge of subscrip- tions and distributed the copies of each issue. The advisers for the year numbered three. The editing of the mag- azine was supervised by Miss Miller and Miss Hartmann. Mrs. Kelbly was the faculty adviser for the business department. Much credit is due these advisers for the patience and work that they gave the staff. We wish to 'express our appreciation to all who contributed mater l, and to all who helped financially both the subscribers and the advertis s We feel that the Tiflinian is serxing its purpose as a school pa r A i I. and vue hope that it vsill impiox e as the years go by J f The Editor f J xl, HQXQ , .1-1 all F , , It . . . , 7. . 1.

Resulting from this there were eight chosen for the two teams. The affirmative team was composed of Eugene Mount, Roland Silverman, Ruth Grossman, and Ruth Lust, alternate. Those on the negative team were Paul Sidebotham, John Dennis Weller, Inez Web- ster, and Mercedes Mohr, alternate. The question selected for debate this year was, Resolved that the United States should cease to protect by force of arms Capital invested in foreign lands, except after a formal declaration of War. The duel debate with Findlay February fifth opened the season for both schools. Both of our teams put up' a valiant fight but were defeated by a close margin. The next debate was held at Fremont, February eleventh. Our neg- ative team debated their affirmative. It was also a hard fought contest on the part of both schools. It showed the Tiffin people that they had some real orators in their midst. We also had a duel debate with Fostoria which resulted in a victory for our negative team. The other debate was the returning one with Fre- montg also victorious for our afiirmative Miss Rosenberger, our faithful coach, not only deserves thanks from the debaters, but also appreciation for her unfailing patience and loyal work. 1' 4 ,Frm l.

YY' C REFINE Y V I x EDISON SCIENCE CLUB .X .8 .94 The fifth year of the Science Club was more successful than the last but still the club is a bit weak in relation to the school. We had an active membership of about twenty along with our faculty advisors, Mr. Williams and Mr. Bailey. Our program committee planned the various programs and arranged for us some very interesting talks by various members of the faculty and business men of the city. The two best, perhaps, being Mr. Lutz's interesting description of New York City and Dr. R. S. Crum's talk on the Relation of Science to the Home. The Hallowe-en Party at the Scout Cabin was the only social event given this year. The club also erected a bulletin board on the second floor. We adjourned the first of April till next year.

We again sent five delegates to the Ohio Older Boy's Conference, which was held in Springfield from November thirtieth to December second. During the Christmas season the Club helped to put on a Christmas party for the unfortunate children of Tiffin. In the winter we organized a basket ball team which defeated the Fremont Club in two games, one here and one at Fremont. The Hi-Y Club sponsored a Week of Prayer during Holy Week. There was a service every morning at the Y. M. C. A., to which the whole school was invited. Several Chapel Services were conducted by the Club at school this year. ' The Tiffin Hi-Y Club was also host to the North-West Ohio Hi-Y Training Conference which was held here on April sixth. We feel that the Club has done well in many lines this year, but are looking forward to still better work in the future. -Robert Gross. fl If Nyta :T kiln SI I ' C X 7? , , GIRL RESERVES First Row- Inez Webster, Dorothy DeBusman, Annabelle Martin, Eva Duffey, Mrs. Rininger, Ruth Courtney, Margaret Wetzel, Margaret Martin, Dorothy Ellen Smythe.

GIRL RESERVES ,ll ,fl ,st Because of our great increase in menihcrshin, which is now one hun- dred and forty-tive, it became necessary for us to leave our former place of meeting at the Y. lVl. C. A. and to seek larger quarters in the Columbian High School. We have been ably assisted this year by our advisors, Mrs. Rininger, Miss Miller, Miss Rosenberger, Miss Rieley and our honorary member, Miss Arnold. During the Christmas season our club collaborated with the Hi-Y Club in giving a Christmas party for the poor children of the city. Also the club sent Christmas cards tothebpeople' in the County Home. The club as- sisted the Red Cross in its annual Christmas Seal Campaign. Our work for the year also included a rummage sale and bake sales. The theme of our programs for the year was Lights. Our discus- sion meeting brought out the high points of a high school girl's religion. At our Personality Meeting Miss Arnold spoke to us on the subject of Personality A joint meeting with the Hi-Y Club was one of the most interesting of our meetings. An inspirational ceremonial was given in the M. E. Church. This was the annual church service given by the club. A chapel service was given in the High School in April. . Miss Arnold presented the club with three interesting and helpful books, The Meaning of Prayer, Meaning of Faith and Meaning of Serv- ice, by Dr. Emerson Fosdick. Our social functions of the year included a Hallowe-en Party, St. Val- entine's Party and a Senior Farewell.

The weather was fine and warm-too warm, really, for football. Yet the heat and exercise soon worked OH the excess weight for many a player. Before a week was up, the number on the squad had dwindled down to about thirty. First, came fundamentals: the duck waddlef' falling on the gball, and sprinting. Soon came tackling and blocking. By now most of the fellows were masses of bruises-but that's half the fun of football! Give and take-but give a little more than you take. Libbey vs. Tiffin--Due to losses through ineligibility it was a crippled squad that took the bus for Libbey Hi, Toledo on Sept. 22. A crippled squad and a green one. too! For all but about one or two were wearing the colors of Columbian High for the first time. Under fire the team began to prove its scrappiness. Although out weighed over twenty pounds to the man our team put up a grand fight, holding Libbey to a 13-0 score at the half. Early in the third quarter Harvey Kerschner, our mainstay and captain, was taken from the field with a broken Wrist. In the second the superior weight of the Toledoans began to tell. The game ended 47-0. Captain-Harvey Kerschner-Half-Back Calvert vs. Tiffin-On September 28, we played our second pre-league game. This time we met our neighbors from Calvert. In this game though the score was 0-0 the Columbian eleven consistently outplayed the Calvert men except in the first quarter when Cramer's punting surpassed that of Blum. Our overhead attack was especially effective and Calvert seemed to have no defense to stop it. In the third quarter Blum passed to Rogala from a fake drookick formation. Rogala caught it behind the goal line but was forced to step out of bounds to do so. Both teams played straight football throughout the game. Captain--George Flechtner-Half-back. Bellevue vs. Tiffin-Tiffin won her First league game against Belle- vue, here on October 6 by a 7-6 score. The game as a whole was played very inconsistently. Columbian played straight football for the most part. Rust our faith- ful fullback never failed to gain what was expected of him and was rarely stopped by the Bellevue line. Wentz carried the ball across the line for the score and Rust added the extra point on a line buck. In the third period our opponents uncorked an attack that carried them across our line for six points. Their attempt for an extra point failed because of an offside on their side. A Rogala left end played a fine game X stopping more than his share of runs. r Q Captain-Rodsworth Briney-Center. 5 L I l wi lui, l ml 5 7 .ff I7 E7 I if,-' , Hamm., If 1:1 J i t'i' S1 12 ' 5 5 Q 1 ' WFT I I 7K ll fe? Sandusky vs. Tiffin-On October 13, Tiffin went to Sandusky to meet the strongest team in the league. The Sandusky backfield ran amuck and scored in every quarter while we confined our scores to the second and fourth periods. Wentz made our first score on a long end run after the Sandusky team had gained fourteen points. Rogala snagged a pass for the extra point. How- ever, this seemed to anger the Sailors for they added thirteen more points to their tally this quarter.. In the third period Sandusky scored four times to our none. In the fourth we battled equally and we, by the overhead route, Wentz to Rogala, scored aftertaking the ball straight down the field. Rust added the extra point. The final chalk-up was 56-14. Captain-Rodsworth Briney-Center. Oberlin vs. Tiffin-On Oct. 30, we lost to the boys from the under- ground railroad station by a score of 13-0. In the first half Oberlin unquestionably outplayed us, but in the second half we outplayed them though we lacked the scoring punch necessary to win. Throughout the game a ragged type of football was displayed by both teams. In this scrap Rodsworth Briney, George Wentz and Tony Rogala did their share towards preventing a more disastrous defeat. Captain-John Beck-Guard. Willard vs. Tiffin-On the twenty-seventh of October we brought home the bacon from Willard to the tune of 12-6. Marching through an ankle deep solution of mud and water our boys trounced Willard in spite of the weather. Creely, star Willard fullback, failed to do much against us and chalked up only six points. While Wentz and Rust packed the leather across to score for us. Beck, at right guard, was out of this game due to an injured ankle sustained in practice. The line was: Center, Lydeyj Right Guard, Brineyg R. Tackle, Blumg R. End, Bintzg on the left we had Rogala, End, N. Flechtner, Tackle and Downey, Guard. Captain-Tony Rogala-End. Norwalk vs. Tiffin-The fickle fates turned their backs to us when Norwalk walked over us by a score of 12-6. Kerschner made our only score on a pass from Bintz. The first half ended with the score at 12-6 after a somewhat disappointing exhibition of football. In the second half neither team scored though we were within striking distance several times. , Too bad-after all our plans for celebrating their defeat! Captain-Tony Rogala-End. Fremont vs. Tiffin-On November 27, at Harmon Field, Fremont we lost our last league game by a score of 7-0. Doped to win over us by n Q E overwhelming score they were hard pressed during the whole game. i I if I Continued in Book V-Features 1 ' f - ,M . , , .

N V EUGENE RUST nRuStyv1 Rusty, our honorary captain, for the season of '28, was another gold mine dis- covered this year. He was a consistent ground-gainer and a fine tackler. Though he was rather small and light for the full-back position he more than 'made up for this in skill, speed, and fight. His work in the Findlay game was especially outstanding. In recognition of his fine work he was chosen for the second All Little Big Seven team. We're sorry to lose you Rusty. ANTHONY ROGALA urronyu Though this was Tony's first year of football, he played like a veteran. With his ability for catching passes and tack- ling runners, his work next year should far surpass even his fine work this year. He told coach that he wanted to play half-back. Coach put him at left end and at this position he stayed and starred. So outstanding was his work that he was chosen as All Little Big Sev- en end. RODSWORTH BRINEY lGRedY! Our red-headed center was at all times a wall of defense for us and a dangerous threat to the opponents. In every game he dealt considerable misery to the en- emy. He played a very dependable game on the defense and the backs knew that they could always depend on 'tRed to get the ball to them accurately. He will be the only man on the team to wear three stripes this year. Fine work Red. NORBERT FLECHTNER HN01-b All Little Big Seven tackle! These magic terms speak louder than any words can: He was a little slow at getting started but when he hit his stride it was just too bad for anyone in his path!

VINTON BLUM Skyhorse Blum, the biggest and fastest man on the team, played a fine brand of football throughout the season. Whenever he got roiled-whoopee! Look out for the fire- works. Whenever our opponents tried to gain ground through the right side of our line they either had to go around Blum or resort to treachery and send about four men on him. With this year's experience he should be invaluable to next year's team. Q HARVEY KERCHNER ueyacku Jack came in for his usual run of tough luck this year. In the first game of the season-Toledo-Libbey-he sus- tained a broken arm and was thus forc- ed to remain out of some of the follow- ing. Punting the ball over the opposing safety man was his specialty. He is only a Junior and should be an excellent player next year. He was equally valuable on oHense and defense, which should be a great help for next year's team. GEORGE WENTZ Wentzie Wentz made his first football letter this year and certainly deserved it. His long end runs, passes and slashes through the line surely helped us out in times of need. Besideshis work on the offense, he was a dependable tackler on the defense and could block for inter- ference. A pass to Wentz was rarely wasted and with a broken field Wentz was a wonder. Wentz too should play stellar football next year. ik GEORGE FLECHTNER Shorty Shorty was another candidate for the job of Fullback. After a little practice it was decided that he should play half back. He played almost all season at blocking half-a somewhat obscure posi- tion that does not come in for much praise-and he play ed well. He carried the ball on a few plays and usually made nice gains On the defense he was also strong Few excelled Shoitx at lun ning inteifeience Also a senior , 1 1.9 T 1 2 E vik- l ffm I. 1.04 'is .gf I5 , Nxt Y l . in: .

Fair in size and weight, he handled himself well. He, too, was inexperienced but made up for this in scrap. Phil was always in the thick of the fracas and We often had to separate him from the pile by force. His work in the Libbey game stamped him as a man of grit. Go to it, Phil, we need you next year. THOMAS DOWNEY MITOHIH Another sophomore to make the grade. Tom learned quickly and soon proved to the authorities that he was needed at the guard position on the first team. Tom played a hard, clean game at all times. He was fairly large and used his weight to the very best advantage. Two more years! Let's see you make football history for Tifiin High. JEAN KELLER Just Jean Keller, our guard from China, quick- ly cinched the left guard position at the first of the season. However, after play- ing excellently in a number of games, he sustained a badly crushed nose while practicing. This managed to prevent him from playing the rest of the season. Keller was another of the fellows that earned a letter after a year on the sec- ond team. CARL BINTZ Bintzie Bintz, the smallest member of the '28 team, played well both at quarterback ,and end. Though greatly handicapped by size and' weight, he had the courage and fight to offset-this. When Kersch- ner was injured, leaving the team with- out a passer, Bintzie was called back to the pigskin and heave it he did. It took lots of courage to tackle and flock off those big opponents, but Bintz sure h d courage. Good luck next year.

'N l if HJ bu 9 I if ROBERT GROSS HBOb77 Bob came out for fullback but soon changed his mind. He played left guard and sometimes at tackle. Bob played a clean, hard game and played consistent- ly He Worked hard every minute that he played. He was an eyceedingly hard man to block and a harder man to dig out of the line. He was a good tackler and a constant menace to our friendly enemies on the other side of the ball. PAUL SIDEBOTHAM nsideyn Paul worked almost a whole season on the second team before he was dis- covered. Into every minute of practice Paul put all of his energy. He develop- ed into such a strong guard that he was given his chance near the end of the season. His work in the Fremont game was especially outstanding. Dogged per- sistence and courage 'gained Paul his place among the regular guards of Tiffin High. VVILLIAM HARM ON HBillU At end Bill sure did strut his stuff. End runs coming has way were sure to stop hard when he met them. He also had a knack of connecting with passes sent in his direction.

Our team was as fine and scrappya bunch of fellows as could be found anvwhere. The following information will show very plainly just how successful we were. Tiffin vs. Findlay 26--24 Harvey Kerchner, Captain. We chalked up our first victory of the season by trouncing Findlay by a score of 26-24. We led throughout the game till Findlay staged a desperate comback in the last quarter, approaching within one point of us. It was a free throw by France that gave us our two point margin. Blum was the outstanding player of this game. He was responsible for twelve of the twentysix points. Although this was the opening game of the season it was played swiftly and quite smoothly. Tiffin vs. Bellevue 20--29 Harvey Kerchner, Captain. Not a very good:-way1to' begin the regular league season was it? Not exactly. This poor beginning was no indications of what was to follow, however. The Bellevue boys were coached bv Struble former mentor of Tiffin High. We will attribute our loss to the Bellevue team, not their coach. This was a very closely fought game throughout and surely pos- sessed its share of thrills. Tiffin led off with six points before Bellevue had awakened. Before long, though, McClintock began his scoring spree that resulted in our ultimate downfall. Kerchner deserves much credit for his Wonderful work in this game contributing half of our points. Tiflin vs. Sandusky 20--19 Harvey Kerchner, Captain. Columbian accomplished the seemingly impossible when they defeat- ed Sandusky here by a score of 20-19. With the first quarter ending at 4-4, the half at 10-7, the third quarter at 19-10, Tiffin staged a brilliant rally which resulted in a score of 20-19 in favor of Tiffin. Wolfe deserves special recognition for his fine work in this game. He made a total of seven points during the last quarter. Rogala and Kerschner formed a very stout garrison for our goal. Wentz came in for his usual good showing. It was a fine game from all standpoints. Over confidence probably had something to do with the defeat of Sandusky, but that is their lookout. Oberlin vs. Tiffin 15--28 Harvey Kerchner Captain A l Despite the fact that only a part of the squad -was able to reach Ob fl n after a bus breakdown we punished Oberlin for her v1cto1y over us 1 1 ,f ootball by a 28 to 15 score J!

OX9 K During the first three periods Columbian showed a slight edge over the Oberlin boys, however, in the fourth we swept the Oberlin defense from its feet. Wolfe duplicated his work in the Sandusky game, by scoring eleven points. Wentz, Kerschner, Blu m, and Rogala and France also deserve mention. Willard vs. Tiffin 16-38 Harvey Kerchner, Captain. Outplayed from the very start, Willard fell a 16-38 victim to a fast, aggressive and well drilled attack on the evening of Feb. 2. TiHin's zone de- fense with forwards and center up, prevented nearly all of Willard's attacks. Blum played his best home game of the season so far, not only accounting for eight points but also assisting directly in the scoring of several other goals. His defense work was also outstanding. There was really no one star for this game as all the boys played a wonderful brand of basketball. However, Wolfe was again high point man. Toward the end of the game Coach Burket sent in all the first team reserves. Even against these, Willard was unable to do much. Fostoria vs. Tifiin 35-33 Harvey Kerchner, Captain. Though Fostoria led through out most of the game, we were able to tie them in the final quarter by means of one of our famous rallies. How- ever, in the overtime period Fostoria managed to sink a field goal putting them ahead 35-33. Wolfe, again high point man, led our attack, fighting like a young tiger. Rogala and Cramnton ended greatly in stopping the attacks of Fos- toria while Wentz and Kerschner along with Blum added materially to our score. Luckily this was not a league game! Calvert vs. Tiffin 11-20 Harvey Kerchner, Captain. On Feb. 12, 1929, Calvert went down in defeat to a tune of 20-11 at our hands. Beginning with a slow start, the game developed into a fierce pitched battle before the evening was very far spent. Both teams show- ed fine team work throughout the game. The fourth quarter was by far' the most interesting. Both teams were very evenly matched. Blum and Kerschner tied for first honors for this game with Wentz and Wolfe close behind. Rogalas defensive work was also very creditable. From an act al accounting Calvert connected with only 15? of their tries from the ale while Columbian made 20'Z 1 I Continued in Book V Features 1 J I an - - af 1 '-f-1 'IW - I i U ' fi ee Wi 'fiii 3 - , -:..-Mg r ,HQ J is ' F 1 l! ' y' '44 F'i ' QWBRINEY J 23 V-ii J 7 ROBERT FRANCE ' HBObu Bob was perhaps the best natural player on the squad. However he rare- ly reached his best form in a regular game. He was an excellent passer and his shots were often effective. Besides this he is a good dribbler. Whenever he was put into the game he more than ful- filled the expectations of all. It is too bad that Bob is a senior. HARVEY KERCHNER Jack Jack played a mighty fine game from the position of gua1'd. In dribbling, pass- ing, guarding, and shooting it was hard to beat Jack. On many occasions when things looked bad for Tifiin, it was Jack's long' shots that inspired the team to rally and stage a comeback. Jack was chosen honorary captain for the season and guard on the first all-tournament team at Sandusky. This speaks well for his splendid work. He too will be back next year. FRANK XVOLFE Wolfeyl' Frank surely showed the fans what a determined fellow could do on the bas- ketball Hoor. This was his second year of basketball and he played a brilliant game of basketball at all times. His shots were especially deadly and he flip- ped in his share of long shots as well. Frank will be back again next year and should even better his record of this year. Forward was the position Frank held down. h GEORGE WENTZ Wentzie Wentzie played a wonderful game of basketball at forward. He was a good shot and his passing was as fine. Be- sides this he was a good dribbler and his floor game was very good. Wentzie was always in the midst of the scrap and was sure to be in line for a shot when ever the opportunity offered itself. He will also be back next year. , I. XS , .-sg i fs! ff '-1 M1 Q - lf' - ' if F CRBRINEY I EUGENE RUST scRuSty1! 0. Not satisfied with his laurels 'won in football season, Rusty invaded thebas- ketball Hoor. From the very first he showed winning qualities. He made a speedy forward and could be depended upon to do his share of guarding and passing. The same fight that made him in football, helped him wonderfully in basketball. RODSNVORTH BRINEY AsRedvv In his second year of basketball, Red proved to be a hard lighting, dependable guard. Whenever there was half a chance for getting the ball, Red had it. He was a steady, safe-playing' fellow and successfully held his position when- ever called upon to do so. He, too, is lost through graduation. VINTON BLUM t'Sky horse Blum, our big center always had our opponents guessing. The only center to out jump Blum was Kruger of Sandusky, but Blumy didn't mind that. He got the tip off any way. Blum was a wonderful player at times and should be a wonder- ful player next year after this year's expe1'ience. He always managed to drop in a good many more baskets than was good for the other team. ANTHONY ROGALA KKT0ny!! This was Ton's first year of basket- ball but he showed that he was an asset to the team before many games had passed. Tony's basketball playing was as dependable as his football. It was through Tony's efforts that many bas- kets were averted from the scores of our opponents. He stopped innumerable expeditions into the Columbian team and was responsible for a number of much needed baskets. Tony is a junior and so will be back next year also. GEORGE CRAMPTON Boob Crampton is another of these Juniors. He also played well from either forward guard position His passing and uardmo were outstanding and his rampton was fast and large and used these aids to the best adwantage He .1 should hare a fine season next year 'N I ' N r:-.

Re- venge is sweet, we were doubly glad to defeat them because of the fact that they trounced us so in the second game of the season. Our team dis- played by far the best basketball, playing harder and faster than Bellevue. although they did lead us a few times. The final score was 32-22. Wolfe was high point man with Wentz and Kerschner close behind. The next day we met Shelby the conqueror of Fostoria who had in turn conquered us earlier in the season. The first half was very evenly played as shown by the score 10-10. In the second half our archers began to find the mark and run up a thirteen point lead that resulted in a 29-16 victory for us. The whole squad was given a chance to play in this game. Mansfield was the team that now separated us from the first place in the district. Although the fellows fought a wonderful game, we were fin- ally beaten by a score of 23-15. This was a bitter pill to swallow but we knew we had done our best and were beaten by a better team. lt was hard but we were proud of what we did. After a week of rest and practice the team left for Findlay to meet the Bowling Green team. This was also a hard fought battle to the end. Bowilng Green had a fine team and defeated us 35-16. George Wentz starred in this game. This game was the last of the season and it closed one of the most successful seasons that Tiiiin high has ever had.

Monday night, June 3, 1929. - The Duke walks slowly toward his crystal and very carefully removes the cover. Taking a part of the velvet cover he polishes the large shiny crystal. He stops many times and looks carefully at the ball. Signs of relief and amusement pass over his countenance. Finally he stops polishing and utters a few magical words that cannot be understood. Then he begins to talk in a slow and even voice and this is what he says: I see great things for the brilliant class of 1929 and I see some things that are not so good. Hmm. Here I see one of the gayest and most carefree of this class who is serving in the capacity of the Court Jester of the Court of England. The crystal reveals the person to be Robert France. A! Ha! I see in this part of the crystal that Marjorie Bishop and Paul Humes are on their last lap of a non-stop mortorcycle trip around the world.

Here comes Richard Murray holding the reigns of the Garbage Wagon of the Metropolis of Bascom. I can see Irma Wolfe posing for Rodsworth Briney, Chief Designer for Artists and Models. Here is Dorothy DeBusman acting as head Gym Instructor in the Columbian Hi School's new gymnasium. She is also girls' basketball and swimming coach. Look! I bet they are having a hot time. Don't you see Inez Webster and her charming husband at their country home, hosts of a large ball? Walter Fey and his Sinful Syncopatorsv are providing the music. I see here that Paul Sidebotham and Frank McCray are joint owners of an airline. They stop regularly at the Tiflin Airport. Paul stops to say Hello to a certain party who used to live way up in Michigan. Look here! The crystal reveals Donald Hart, seated in a large room, surrounded by books and studying industrially and writing a treatise on The Relation of the Human Body to that of a Flyf' Yes sir, it is. My! My! How some do change. I see here Gladys God- frey speaking to a large audience.

Vera Bartlebaugh has just recently broken the world's record for typ- ing. She typed 100 words a minute. Here is another record that has been broken. Cliford Unser is now a champion. He has missed a train more than any one else in the world. I see he is living up to his punctuality at school. I see John Beck is ambassador to Spain. George Flechtner is following the trade of his ancestors. Ah! Here Norbert Flechtner is the social secretary for Jean Keller, President of the United Sfates.

WALTER C. RHORBACKER, '99. Hello! oh class of Twenty-nine! From California comes this rhyme To wish the best of all to you. For ayel We know you'll e'er be true To Tifiin High, that dear old school That gave you light, And taught you right, With which a noble life to rule. LUCILE C. HERTZER, '24 I would like to send the following message to the Class of 1929: The educated person knows that true progress is the result of seeing both sides of every question clearly and choosing carefully from every fact at his command. Every man must do this for himself. PAUL R. EBEL '22, To the Class of '29 I extend my congratulations for the part you have played in adding to the honors whiwh have some to Columbian High, and Wish you continued good fortune as you go on through life. WILSON W. KOHLI, '24, To the Class of 1929: All work, and no play, makes Jack a dull boy, and Fill each minute With sixty seconds worth of distance run cannot be linked unless one chooses his play with care. H. G. DAVIDSON, '15. Sixteen years has not dimmed the memory of happy days spent at Columbian High School and sixteen years from now '13 and '29 will still be praising our old High school. EDITH BURFORD KELLEY, '13. Things to Learn QA paraphrase from Van Dykej Four things you '29ers must learn to do If you would make your records true, To think without confusion clearly, To love your fellowmen sincerely, U f - To act from honest motives purely, ,ity 1' l To trust in God and Heaven securely.

Life is not a battle but a game. Solomon asked for a wise and understand- ing heart and won the game. NELLE E. MARQUARDT, '97. It is most satisfying to know that the Class of Nineteen Twenty-nine is so ably steering what the Class of nineteen Seventeen launched--THE BLUE AND GOLD. I realize that the above is more ff. message from the class of 1927 than it is a personal message from myself but it pleases me to call your attention to the fact that the class of 1917 published the first Blue and Gold and it was my privilege to be its Editor-in-Chief. So you can see that un- derneath I am sending a personal message after all. And I can't refrain from drawing an analogy between the Blue and Gold project and a U. S. Man-of-War. We, the class of 1917, launched that project. You, the class of 1929, are manning, maneuvering and steering that same craft and I am sure that you are doing it proudly, skillfully, enthusiastically, and intelli- gently. LEON HUFFMAN, '17. Quite a few years ago, there graced my desk a calendar from The Youth's Companion, on which was lettered the following: The earth starts on its year-long journey around the sun as truly to-day as on the day we call the first of January and each new day is there-fore a fresh opportunity to begin right. The demand upon us is not that we succeed, but merely that we tryg and to try manfully, each day and all day long, is in- evitaby in the end to attain a supreme success. The name of the author I do not know, but I do know the thought he expressed has been an inspiration to me many times, as no doubt it has been to many others. Your request for a contribution has finally caught up with me, and I tender this, for it seems infinitely better than anything I myself might compose. If by this time you have no room for it, you might bestow it upon the incoming staff for next years' BLUE AND GOLD, should there be one. H. E. BILLER, '06. Our message to the Class of 1929: Learn to speak the kind Word truthfully while you are young. Seek to know the right and have the courage to do it. The years will then bring you friends and satisfaction. IDA M. HOPPLE, '91. To the Class of 1929: The years roll swiftly by and Father Time soon leaves us nothing but memories of the most enjoyable part of our lives-those years of irrespons- ible happiness with a world of opportunity waiting to be attacked. Soon your ways will separate and the old familiar faces will disappear. But in t e years to come may the best of prosperity and happiness be with you Ways. , DWIGHT E MOORHEAD 25 I.

Right thinking will be comparatively easy if we keep physically fit. MARY E. HALL, '91. XL was our class motto for 1916. It has proved itself a worthy incentive in life's experiences. We commend it to you, Class of 1929! FAITH FRAZIER, '16. A ship containing seven graduates started on a voyage in June 1870.

The experience gained and the friend- ships formed at dear old T. H. S. have been and will be a blessing to us always. And we know in the years to come, you will feel the same. MARY BOGART, '14. Dear Class of '29, You are blest with wonderful opportunities. Do your best and may success crown your efforts. MARY E. LEPPER, '74. This is my wish for the Class of Nineteen Hundred and Twenty-nine. May your Commencement Day bring you as its gift high hopes and aims, bright promises for success, good fortune, a useful life's work, re- turn for toil and reward for labor done. MILDRED M. BURMAN, '28, To the Class of Nineteen Hundred and Twenty-nine: Out of the West, from the Pacific, to meet those out of the East, from the Atlantic, come equally hearty Greetings. Good will knows no limita- tions. LAURA V. WAGNER, '78. A Class of the nineteenth' century deems it a great privilege to send greetings to a Class of the twentieth century, so the five remaining mem- bers of the Class of 1880 extend congratulations to the 100 members of the graduating class of the Tiffin High School and wish them a full-meas- ure of joy and prosperity. We would, however, have you remember that true joy is won only when you share it with others, and that future pros- perity will come as a result of honest toil. EVA E. KROUT, '80. Members of the Class of 1929: As you journey through life may each of you travel the road which leads to health, happiness, and success. You will find many guide posts along this road to direct you.

At least the two weeks preliminary discussion of plans by groups of parents resulted in a reorganization meeting held in the Columbian High School on the evening of April the ninth. About one hundred and fifty parents and the Columbian High teachers were present and work was immediately begun. Rev. Courtney served as temporary chairman of the meeting. A brief concert by the Girls' Glee Club opened the meeting after which Prin. W. W. Martin extended a challenge to the parents to form an active and effective organization. This was followed by a brief talk by Supt. C. A. Krout. The election of. oflicers resulted in Mr. C. R. Keil being elected Presidentg Mr. Paul Bailey ,and Mrs. .George Downey, Vice Presidentsg Mrs. A. D. German, Secretary and Mr. Russel Barrick, Treasurer. Dur- ing the meeting attention was called to the inadequate facilities of the Columbian building and upon the adjournment of the meeting the par- ents were taken on a tour of the building. The pupils wonder what they thought of the school house, furniture and equipment. J rf NN I. N 1 L... 'lm GRBRINE Y X9 f-za. 2 'glial fl.. N . ug emi ' -5 y am X fgn--Q ' wr RINEY 4 Y . .. Round and About I L... K , FOOTBALL SEASON OF 1928 fContinued from Athletics 1 5 J V4 Fine playing was shown by the Columbian team-no longer a green bunch of kids but as scrappy a bunch of gridders as one would wish to watch. Cal Montague, former star for Columbian, was unable to do much against his former team mates. Finding that straight football gained them nothing they resorted to passing and it was through this means that they gained their only score of the game. Captain-Tony Rogala-End. Findlay vs. Tiffin-Our next game was at Findlay. This was an even- ly fought battle that ended with a score of six to nothing in favor of our opponents. The Columbian team again displayed the grit and bulldog tenacity that has saved it from disaster many times before. This game was the last game for seven regulars. The seniors that played their last game here were: Keller, Briney, Harmon, Gross, Rust, George Fletchner, Nor- bert Fletchner, and Beck. Although the Tiffin boys were within striking distance several times they did not have the punch to put across any scores. On the other hand much of the second half was played on Tiflinfs territory and within the thirty yard line. The only score for Findlay was scored on an end run that swept the Tiffin players from their feet. Captain-Tony Rogala-End. Coach Burkett replaced Coach Struble this year on the coaching stai of Columbian High School. Though many difficulties were present he turned what seemed a hopeless prospect for a season into a credit to Colum- bian High School. It is true that we won only two games. but it is also true that we lost only two by large scores. Furthermore, this year's team won for itself the reputation of grit and fight and of never giving up despite all odds. We appreciate the efforts of Coach Burkett and we wish him a success- ful career in the future. The following is the lineup for the squad: Rogala L. E. Lynch N. Flechtner L. T. Shi-ode. Downey L. G. Keller, Gross. R. Briney C. Lydey. Beck R. G. Sidebotham Blum R. T. Lambright, Young. Bintz R. E. Harmon. H. Kerschner Q. B. Lee, DeMuth. Wentz L. H. Harding.

This year the team takes pleasure in presenting to you, Eugene Rust, fullback, as the captain for the season of '28. It is a great pleasure to have a fellow that will work like Rusty'l worked, dig like Rusty dug and play like Rusty played. Rusty,', the members of the '28 team appreciate your work and courageg it was a pleasure to play with you-an honor to play against you. Therefore in recognition of your splendid services we elected you Captain. I am sure every member of the team is with me when I wish you the best of luck for a brilliant career in the future. J. B. '29. l.,...i.l- BASKETBALL SEASON 1929 I Continued from Athletics I Norwalk vs. Tiffin 21-30 Harvey Kerchner, Captain. Norwalk fell the sixth victim of the hard fighting Columbian quintet when the Blue and Golds journeyed to that city and brought home the bacon by a score of 30-21. The game moved off with a slow start with only four points being scored by both sides in the first quarter. Tiffin acounted for three of these. By the half way mark, Tiffin had bit her stride and the score stood at 11-7. In the next period we added fifteen more to our score with the score at 30-21. Kerschner was high point man for this game with Wolfe one point behind. Fremont vs. Tiflin 25--22 Harvey Kerchner, Captain. Three points! Those three points cheated us out of a three way tie for first place in the league and also allotted to us the honor of third place. This was a wonderful game and was considered one of the best exhibitions of basketball of the season. The first quarter ended at 13 to 3 after Fremont had staged a little scoring party at our expense. At the beginning of the second quarter our team seemed to gain an inspiration somewhere for they played circles around the Giants, scoring eight points to Fremonts true free throws. In the third quarter both teams changed their tactics and here again we outplayed Fremont and managed to gain a one point lead. Angered by this Fremont turned the tables on us and the Quarter ended 17-16. In the last quarter the superior height of the Giants began to tell and they finally won by a score of 25-22. The whole team should receive all possible praise for its work in this X 31116. ,X l .J 1 A L.. ,MN pig 1,--,023 Rsnmfv 'Q' , if 1-I i K if , .. .. .. fl i 'r no s 5 A gy: - Q gg gg ga gl X ' ,fl X 1 Srhnnl Qlalimhar--Qlnniinurh .sofas This is the one sad day for Tifiin High as on this day we lost one of our best friends in the High School, Mr. Craig.
