As footbaH gained in favor. basebaH lost hnerest and is jx now'a.thing ofthe past The footbaH records of the past few years have been the best of any school around. In 1924. 1925. 1926 Convoy scored 381 points to then opponents 40. In nineteen galnes of those three years Convoy held Us opponents , scoreless. Games have been played with Celina, Antwerp, Oakwood, and Fort VVayne fi Central Catholics. The boys always furnish thrilling games for the fans, if Basketball has been a large factor in putting Convoy on the Athletic map. Even R if Convoy has been playing basketball less than ten years, the spirit in which f everyone entered it has caused its great popularny. The nrst year of organized 'Y basketballxvas in 1920. 'That year the teains had good records,in the county tourna- lfx ment, the boys losing after two overtime periods. However. the boys won over I Ridge in the next tournament. In 1923 the boys won ilfteen of the seventeen games played. Again Ridge de- ,Ji feated Convoy in the tournalnent but only by one point in the third overtime period. Convoy boys seem to like overtime periods and as well Ridge's team in the tourna- wli' ments. In 1924 Convoy boys not only won the county tournament but won three dy games, losing the fourth in one afternoon, in the Northwestern Ohio tournament at Detiance. W' The team of 1926 continued the record of losing only a few games of the season -1. and winning the county championship. Two of our boys were chosen for the Wi county albstar teanr i The fans certahHy received thQH'lUOHGY'S worth in 1927. A inajorhy of the 1' boys were experienced players. The boys did not win so many games du1'ing the yt season lmut worked into a winning teani at the end in preparation for the tourna- ,i ment. As a result they won the three games played in the County Tournament. Q. Convoy was honored by having two boys on HlE3lPSHH't6HU1lH each ofthe hrstthree M of the four tournaanents they parthnpated in that year.

Many fans followed the boys to Findlay to help them win. There they won the two games giving them the right to play in the finals at Columbus. The three tournaments were too much for the boys and resulted in their defeat in the Hrst galne at ColunUJus with Iiyatts High School Even if this year's team had fewer experienced players, they won more games of the season than did the teani of 1927. 'They were not quite so luck5'in the tourna- ments though, winning the County Championship, but losing the second game of the Lima Tournament. In the last five years Convoy boys have scored 1938 points f to their opponents 1439 points W The girls are not to be left out. A review of the records shows their teams were practically as good as the boys', but they were able to win the County Tournament only A a few times. In 1925, with five. letter girls left from the previous year. they were W able to win the tournalnenh Thus years teanileaves the best record of the past ,gg few years In thelast nve yearsthe ghds have niade 765 pointsto theh'opponents , 617 points.

Gaylord and William eo- operated with the coach in a way that is commendable. Bill has been on the High School squad for three years. receiving a letter each year. His Senior year, however. gave him his regular posi- tion at left guard. Although Bill did not make very many points he de- serves mueh Credit for many of this seas0n's victories. as he was always ready to prevent his opponents from scoring. He was an exceptionally good guard and was always willing to fight until the anal whistle blew. Next year's team will miss him very much. A 3-letter man. COACH LIVINGSTON GAYLORD STEMEN, Captain Gaylord who is a Junior will mean much to next year's team. He has been on the team for two years- his Sophomore and Junior yea1's. He is the best iloor player C. H. S. has ever had, always ready to pass to someone else and never trying to be a high point, man. Although Gay- lord's position was forward, he was put on the mythical all county team at the 19251 tournament as right guard. A 2-letter man. Mr. Livingston began coaching basketball for C. H. S. in 1925-26. Each year that Mr. Living- ston has been in Convoy has seen a winning basket- ball team. Convoy having won the County Tourna- ment for three successive seasons-1925-19265 1926-19273 and 1927-1928. This record cannot be attributed to the players alone as a large part of the credit should go to Mr. Livingston. It should also be said that he has the good will and friend- ship of all his players, and during his three years of coaching there have been no boys on the teams. who could not play together without good will toward each other. NVQ hope Mr. Livingston will be back next year, pb f f A Y Y, X, - 1 17, :1 'L .1 '- y H Lt 19,28 i'f,-iii'-'-if-95C sV- Page S 7 iw' e,-4 -Q . 41 'rl H5 6, l W, f VI, 1 I A l. ff 'S-, Ll '1 V, S .N 'ffl ' l fl , Q, , l 11' 1 ', , if x I ,v ,ff l Ll 1 iff fl UN' Vi li l , , '1 N l ijt! l Y' YE J3 if 2? llxr lf, L ' xi 5 LM V, , , .xg I 1 Ai, , i 5 , 4 J ll R, r, fn Q, v, ,ty-. fig Zig?-S gggjgff, fgi ,L?:Z:g fiffi- E'iE..,'ag:iq.Qfg:- Q.: vl ,xx Qx Q ti -54 Y a DOYT DAULER Doyt has been on the team one year and on the tournament squad of eight players for two years-in his Sophomore and Senior years. He did not play in his Junior year but played a regular position at right guard this year. This was his Hrst year at guard and no one ever played a better game for C. H. S. than Doyt. A 2-letter man. VERNIE DENSEL Vernie was our center this year, taking the tip-off from every center playing against him with the excep- tion of the center from Fort VVayne. Although Jin did not get so very many points this season, the man he had to guard rarely got more points than he did. Ve1'nie always fought hard and still has one more year with C. H. S, A 2-letter man. 'GAGE HELMS Gage is only a Sophomore and was high point man for the season. scor- ing 8-l points. He will be a very val- uable player in the next two years. Gage was placed on the second all- star team at the Lima Sectional Tournament this year, being the only C. H. S. player to be placed on the all star teams at that place, A 1-letter man. HY DAVIS Although Hy did not play as one of the tive regulars he was in eve1'y game of the season-making the winning basket at the County Tour- nament. He was usually substituted as center. taking the tip-off about half the time. He has two 1no1'e years to play with C. H. S.

CORWIN LYTLE Corwin did not get on the squad until the last part of the season due to' sickness, but he was chosen by Coach Livingston as one of the mein- bers ot the tournament squad. He will be of great help to next year's team. A 1-letter man. PAUL HEDGES Paul was a substitute every game this year and played in several, tak- ing left guard in place of Myers. As he is only a Sophomore, he has two more years of basketball at C. H. S. He will probably have a regular po- sition on the team next year. MERVIN LEE Although Mervin did not get on the tournament squad, he was on the season squad of ten playe1's. He played in several games of the sea- son always doing his part.

The team and Coach should have much credit as Gaylord Stemen was the only regular left from last year's team. December 16-York There-22-18 This game was a very hard one and the boys surprised the county basketball fans by defeating York, one of the strongest teams in the county. This game showed that, even though Convoy had lost most of their regulars, they were coming back with a new team that was looking for the County Tournament Trophy. December 23-Ohio City Here-27-14 Convoy boys won their third game of the season by a large margin. The boys were showing great team work, passing and working the ball through the loop of Ohio City's basket for pot shots time and again. January 7-Payne There-10-4 The Christmas vacation did not spoil basketball for Convoy's boys, for they went to Payne and won their fourth consecutive victory of the season. The game was close and many fouls were called on both teams. January 10-Middlepoint Here-22-8 Middlepoint came to Convoy with the strongest team in years with the expectation of winning and placing themselves prominent in basketball news but Convoy defeated them by a large score. T January 14-Fort Wayne Central Catholics There-13-26 Convoy boys went to Fort Wayne expecting to win-not having lost any games thus far, but Fort Wayne had a veteran team, having the same players as they had last year. The Fort Wayne boys gave our team the first defeat of the season. All the boys went in to Fort Wayne's basket for several nice short shots but were unable to locate the center of the rim which accounts for their first defeat. January 20-Pauldirr Here-11-14 Paulding which is a class A school, CConvoy, class BJ brought a very good team to Convoy. The Convoy boys seemed to lack some of the tight they had been having all year and received their second defeat of the season. In this game, Howard Giessler made the most sensational basket of the season when he was substituted for Gage Helms at forward. Howard went on the floor with the score 9-14 in favor of Paulding and made a long shot that never touched the rim of the loop. January 27-York Here-16-15 York came to Convoy resenting their first defeat early in the season, playing an overtime period with the Red and White. The C. H. S. boys seemed to have a hard time locating York's basket by missing several easy shots-but they had the tight which sent York back home with their second defeat of the season at the hands of Convoy. f 1928 Page 90 A rfb' lb? wife-:miw:2a:s.-u 4 C-'ro' Mft 1 Rfb' ' ' 1 .7 February 3-Ohio City There-26-22 Earlier in the season the Red and White had won over Ohio City by a larger score, but, during the second game with Ohio City, the Red and Green boys led the Convoy lads in the first part of the game. C. H. S. returned at the half with the determination to put the score for Convoy ahead and they won by four points. February 10-Delphos Here-26-17 Delphos came to Convoy with a more or less impressive record, having lost only one game in the county. C. H. S. had very little difficulty how- ever, winning easily, with most of the reserves playing the last half of the game. Lytle was substituted for Dauler and played very well in view of the fact that this was his first varsity game. February 17--Fort Wayne Central Catholics Here-11-31 Fort Wayne came to Convoy with their team improved to what it had been the first game with Convoy, winning by a large score. This is not a bad refiection on the C. H. S. team because this Fort Wayne team is one of the best in Indiana. TOURNAMENTS' Our first game at the County Tournament came with the Union Cen- tralized team on Saturday, February 253 at 9 o'clock, at the Y. M. C. A. Gymnasium of Van Wert. Score 13-12. The C. H. S. boys had a very hard game with Union winning after a close scoring game in a double overtime. Doyt Dauler played very good for Convoy in this game. Second and iinal game of Tournament. Ridge, Saturday, February 253 8:30 p. m. Score 29-28. Ridge who had played a very hard game with York on Saturday morn- ing, had a very strong team and gave C. H. S. the hardest game of the tournament. However we came out on top with a one point lead in a fast nerve-wrecking game. Ridge outfought the local team in the first half having a lead of eight points. The Red and White came back in the last half with the win or die spirit. All the boys fought until the final whistle blew, winning the tournament for the third successive year. Captains Myers and Stemen received the large silver basketball trophy in honor of the team's victories and won the right for the team to partic- ipate in the Sectional Tournament held in Lima the following week. Lima Tournament, Friday and Saturday, March 2 and 3. Coach Livingston took eight players to Lima. Convoy played St. Gerard's Catholic High School team Friday after- noon. The game was close all during the regular time, C. H. S. boys miss- ing many free throws and an overtime period was necessary. They literally swamped the Catholics in the overtime, making four baskets and giving us the right to play Rockford in semi-finals. Rockford, March 3, 2 o'clock. Score 22-39. Rockford had the strongest team that Convoy played this season with the exception of Fort Wayne Central Catholics. Although Rockford start- ed out far ahead of the Red and White, our team played hard the whole game, making about half their points on short shots. 1928 fe Page 9 1 l J l 'tw fi u V V. lj, r .rr U al N .V it H wb iw If xvx!

Although this is his first year coaching he has shown us many tricks of the trade which have won many games. Teams to come will realize his worth because he spent much time and patience with the reserves as well as the reg- ulars. VVe hope that he will return next year, MAY BENROTH Although Miss Benroth is not our coach she played her pa1't and played it well in making the team a success this year. As official chaperon she has become the friend of every mem- ber on the team. By her cooperation with our coach and her helpful crit- icisms she has helped to win many a game. Also her never-failing en- thusiasm has cheered many a player when defeat was our lot. LUCILE REIDENBACH Captain Luce showed as much ability at forward as she did at side center in previous years. As captain and for- ward she played stellar basketball throughout the season. Juggling was an occasional feature of her playing. It will take o11e with an accurate eye to fill her place next year. A 3-letter girl. 1928 Page 92 MARY SHAFFER Mary left a record of which we are all proud. She not only gave her guards plenty of hard work but was quite accurate in her shots. She played good team work with all the girls, being responsible for many bas- kets which she herself did not make. It will take a star to fill her shoes next year. A 3-letter girl. MILDRED ARMSTRONG Mid was a valuable asset to the team. Although lacking in size, her speed and head work baffled her op- ponents, saving Convoy High School in many dangerous moments. She deserves more praise than she will probably get. NVho can fill her place at side center next year? A 3-letter girl. MILDRED TRACY Although Mildred is only a Fresh- man she developed into an experienc- ed playergone of the best guards in the County. Her good headwork broke up passes, keeping the oppo- nents score low. She could be de- pended upon to catch dribbles and hurry the ball to our forwards. In the next three years she should be- come an outstanding guard. A 1-letter girl. FERN NORTH Fern is one of those tall athletic Juniors. She started the year as guard but changed to center and played there the remainder of the year. She developed a fighting spirit and was able to get the tip-off from many of her opponents. Much is expected of her next year. A 1-letter girl. T 4 4 , l 14 2Tf'iisf iweixlrfff, 2 if f'7ff2a'i'574-9851 fifxs 1-Xi Page D , -A - . fx .term 5 ff?-t,alibi'1fLti1.:2fi1,11?:f1Qf' i' . 13 , -... MARIE GREULACH Marie was a splendid defensive player. a guard who always suc- ceeded in getting in the way of the opposing forward. She broke up many a play saving the day for Con- voy. She was always a good sport and a willing worker. A 1-letter girl. DOROTHY LEE Dorothy developed a lighting spirit which earned her a position on the team. In every game she played she gave her best to keep the opponents score low. She shows promise of being a star guard in the future. Dorothy is but a Sophomore. A 1-letter girl. ALTHA KILGORE Killy brought up the score through her ability to Cage free shots. 'When called upon she was always ready to carry her share of the game: she al- ways took advantage ot any break in l1er opponent's plays. She will be needed on the squad the next two years. A 1-letter girl. HELEN BRICKER Helen is just a Freshman but tall enough to get the tip-off. Although lac-king in experience she assisted in many emergencies. XVe are hoping to hear great things about her dur- ing the next three years. A 1-letter girl. RUTH SHEETS By the excellent spirit she showed. Ruth played her part well in keeping Q53 the opponents down. although -she ' X did not play in every game. She was well versed in the game as she could play several different positions.

The girls did not display a great deal of playing technique, but neverthe- less, were strong enough to win. We led throughout the game. December 16-York There-16-24 Our second game did not turn out so well. York's team was more experienced than ours, but they were compelled to extend themselves right to the final whistle. December 23-Ohio City Here-28-58 Ohio City's size made it possible for them to pick our passes out of the air. The defense of both teams was rather weak. Our captain was not able to play. However, we outplayed them in the third quarter, the score being 15 to 9 in our favor. January 7-Payne There-16-18 Payne got the big end of the score. The game was fast and rough. Our floor work was good but the forwards were unable to hit the loose baskets. January 10-Middlepoint Here--31-1 We won this game without much effort. All ten girls got a taste of the game. Middlepoint put up a game fight but could not get the ball to their forwards. January 20-Paulding Here-11-16 It was no disgrace to lose this game, as Paulding is a Class A High School. Our captain was back again but we were unable to get the lead. The half ended 4-5 in their favor and the third quarter 7 all. January 27-York Here-17-11 This game spelled another victory for Convoy High School. The first half ended 8-1 in our favor. York played a better brand of basketball the second half but our girls proved too much for them. February 3-Ohio City There-29-25 Revenge is sweet. Convoy defeated Ohio City for the iirst time in several years. C. H. S. led from the second quarter through the rest of the game. The victory was due to the great improvement in the team and the support of the fans. February 10-Delphos Here-24-13 Delphos came here with lots of pep and confidence. They soon lost both due to Convoy's leading throughout the game. It was quite prevalent that the team had improved much over their previous performances. A - , .-- -.1 - , .1 1 - --, -. -- ..

Throughout the whole game Ridge made only two field goals. Convoy girls could not keep from fouling and Ridge was able to run up their score via the foul line. However, Convoy girls did not seem up to their usual form and as a result the game ended 15-17 in Ridge's favor. INTER-CLASS TOURNAMENTS This year Mr. Shaffer did not plan the High School Inter-class Basket- ball Tournaments until the High School team finished its season at the Lima tournament. The Sophomores, Juniors, and Seniors had the varsity players divided up quite evenly among their class teams, the Senior class having two of the varsity first team players, the Juniors, two regulars and two substitutes, and the Sophomores, one first team man and one substi- tute. The tournament commenced on Tuesday evening, March the sixth at 7:30 with a preliminary game by the seventh and eighth grade girls. This was followed by the Freshman-Sophomore girls' game, the Sophs winning after a close game. Immediately afterwards the Sophomore boys and Freshman boys took the floor and after a close game the Sophomore class copped their second game of the tournament. The next game was between the Junior and Senior girls. The Seniors having three of the regular High School team and one substitute held the Juniors scoreless until the last quarter, while they ran up a high score, winning the easiest game of the tournament. The Junior and Senior boys put on a fast offensive game with every- one playing his limit. The Seniors finished in the lead. This completed the tournament with the exception of the finals which were held on the following Thursday evening. The Seventh and Eighth grade boys staged a preliminary game for the Sophomore and Senior girls. Although the Seniors had several more experienced players than the Sophs the game was close and the Seniors were able to win only in the last few minutes of play. The boys of the Sophomores and Seniors staged a real game, giving the spectators many a thrill, for the Sophs kept at the heels' of the older team at all periods in the game. The Seniors finished the tournament by winning from the Sophomores. This gives the Senior class a double honor having both of the High School champion teams.

At this time Convoy was included in district number four which the people continued using until it was made a special district. Convoy then purchased the old school grounds from M. E. Ritchie and built a frame building in the years 1866 and 1867. D. R. Bonnewitz, first teacher in the Convoy schools, taught all eight grades. Because of the rapid increase in enrollment this building was soon outgrown and was re- placed by a brick building in 1880-1882. The first superintendent was M. H. Tuttle who was succeeded by A. B. Christy in 1884. The new building contained four rooms, with three grades in each room. Mrs. Anna Christy was in charge of the grammar schoolg Miss Mary Webster, the intermed- iate department, and Miss Eva Jones, the primary department. Miss Lizzie Taggart succeeded Miss Jones in the primary department and held this position for more than twenty years. In 1887 Convoy first witnessed a graduation from its school. The class consisted of Lucy Longsworth and David Johnson. This building after being in use for twelve years was condemned be- cause the walls had cracked. School was held in business houses and lodge rooms while the new building was being erected. The building was com- pleted in 1894. It remained in use and properly served its purpose until in 1918. The superintendents during this time were Mr. Fortney, I. F. Alex- ander, J. A. Greulach and W. F. Henney. The four year course was intro- duced in 1912 when the high school was given a first class charter. In 1918 a modern brick building was constructed on East Tully Street. The Convoy school district and the Tully Township district were united into one district, to be known as the Tully-Convoy School District, in 1921, by the County Board of Education. The Tully Township pupils so increased the enrollment that it was necessary to enlarge the building, the addition to which was added in 1924. At this time three grade rooms, three high school recitation rooms, a domestic science room and cafeteria and a large gymnasium-auditoiv ium were added. The County Board of Education transferred four districts of Harrison Township, or in all sixteen square miles, to the Tully-Convoy District, on March the twenty-eighth, 1927. During Christmas vacation this year some remodeling was done to accommodate the remaining districts from Harrison Township. The school received a charter as a six year high school in 1926, thus making Tully-Convoy one of the finest and best High Schools in the county.

As her birthday was approaching she became more anxious ,il to find out what her mother had to tell her. She also noticed sad and wearied looks ' , upon the countenance of her beautiful mother. ' Finally Mary Ellen's birthday arrived and just as the clock struck twelve her mother called her into her bedroom. She walked quietly in and looking up at H Mrs. Smith saw tears in her brown eyes. Mary Ellen looked somewhat puzzled and just as she was ready to speak Mrs. Smith said. Mary Ellen, many times have I V prayed that this evil hour should never come-always praying that I might die, ' never telling you that I am not your real mother, but only- Oh, mother, mother, that can not be. she cried, falling to the floor and bury- W., ing her head in Mrs. Smith's lap. Oh, never, never, has there been anyone who tl could have treated me better than you and father. Oh, mother. why did you ever -,V tell me anything like that? I can't and -and I won't believe it. A Mrs. Smith stood somewhat amazed for she thought Mary Ellen would despise .JN her from that very moment. She lifted Mary Ellen's head from her lap and slowly .Q walked to her bureau and from o11e of the drawers she pulled out a worn slip of fl' paper. Here, Mary Ellen. she cried, read this paper carefully and then tell me P if you still believe that I am really your mother. ,Q There was silence for several minutes and finally Mary Ellen said. Did my rf, mother really sell me to you? F! Mrs. Smith then replied, telling the whole truth. It was against her wish but I forced her to do it. Your real father owed my husband a large sum of money gh that was never paid because he was lost on the sea. I then forced your mother to Ii give up to me the one precious thing which she had left in this worldfand it was ,lf you, Mary Ellen. I also told her that if ever she was able to pay my husband that .4 sum she could again have her daughter. You were only seven months old and you have not seen your mother since. I have not heard from her for almost five years. fig The last time she wrote t ome she had gone to Reedsville, Kentucky. .Q Mary Ellen was now weeping bitterly. She did not know what to do, but 'V finally she looked up into the eyes of Mrs. Smith and said, I shall always, always Ll' love you but really I must find my mother. I have never done any good in this iw world. You have been so very kind to me but I want my mother. Let'-s get my gif clothes ready so I can leave early in the morning. I can't bear it any longerg I L, simply must gof' Lf The following day Mary Ellen rode to Milltown with Mr. and Mrs. Smith. They fi stayed with her until the train arrived to take her to Reedsville. She bade them I goodbye and told them that she would not come back until she found her dear 1 mother. As Mary Ellen was travelling along she was wondering how she would be , able to find her mother. After several days of wearisome travelling she finally ff reached her destination. She began at once to inquire of all the large business L, firms if they had had a lady by the name of Mrs. Louise Longsworth in their em- ,, ployment within the last five years. The only answer she would receive was no, I' Finally, after almost six days of this kind of work she went i11to the ofiice of John .K H. Greening. He saw an anxious look upon her face and immediately made up l1is 1,17 mind that he was going to do all he could to help her. He asked her what she L1 wanted and she said, Have you ever had a lady in your employment by the name 7 of Mrs. Louise Longsworth'? Q, He immediately answered, Some years ago a lady giving me that name asked 'J for a position. I had her in my employment for four months and as I have busi- wil ness firms in other sections of the country, I Il'allSf6l'l'Qd her to Mount de Calm in V Florida. If it is your desire I shall call my firm there and ask if she is still work- ll ing for them. If you will please call again tomorrow I will tell you whether or fl not she is still employed at Mount de Calm. A I shall be back ll0IllOl'I'OXV at three o'clock. she replied. K Mary Ellen then left the oflice of John H. Greening feeling much better than ,fl she had for several days. She went back to her room at the hotel and prayed that 5. Mr. Greening would and her mother at Mount de Calm. She had nothing to do that ll evening, so, to pass away time she decided to go to a show. After the show she lf' thought she would linger a few minutes in the parlor of the hotel. She had just ,.. K 1-4.

Mary Ellen then decided dl' to stay and listen to her mother's voice. She never heard anyone sing more beau- A tifully in all her life. The first selection she sang was Nobody Cares Anymore. Q-fl She sang several more selections and iinally she sang I VVonder Where My Baby fl is Tonightfl This was more than Mary Ellen could stand so she called Mr, Green- K ing telling him that she had heard Mrs. Louise Longsworth sing over the radio. IN She also told him that she was going to leave that night for Mount de Calm. He told er that he was coming to the hotel to talk to her before she left. 'xl In a few minutes he arrived and said, I am going to Mount de Calm with you C' on some very important business. I, too, would like to see Mrs. Louise Longsworth. W.-a They left in about half an hour for their trip to Mount de Calm. They arrived about seven o'clock the following night. As they were both very tired they decided 4, that they would not look up Mrs. Longsworth until the following day. They then .ef went to a hotel to stay all night. The next morning they went to the business iirm connected with Mr. Greening. They asked for Mrs. Louise Longsworth and to l. Mary Ellen's Sll1'DI'lSQ she was taken to a beautiful French lady. Mary Ellen did not tell her that she was her daughter. They had a long conversation regarding jf the past life of Mrs, Longsworth. Mr. Greening had been in the adjoining room and, , since the door was slightly ajar he had heard the complete conversation. After they had talked for several hours Mr. Greening entered the room and stood gazing A at the two beautiful Iigures. After he had stood in silence for several hours Mr. A Greening entered the room and stood gazing at the two beautiful Iigures. After he ljn had stood in 'silence for several minutes, addressing Mrs. Longsworth he said, I fly heard the whole conversation between you two ladies and if I remember correctly Q1 I heard you say that your husband was lost at sea sometime ago. if Yes, sir, she replied, it has been over seventeen years ago. -xg Did you not have any children? he asked. gi, Mrs. Longswortlrs face turned as white as snow. She began weeping but finally 4, she braced up and said, My husband was a very honest man but he had fallen fl heavily into debt. When he was lost at sea he had not yet paid this debt. The X only way I could square things up was by giving my only daughter just seven 5- months old to pay this debt. It almost broke my heart so I immediately left the ,, city as the people said terrible things about me and my husband. I begged to Jil: keep my only child but the people forced me to part from her. Mr. Greening then spoke, Mrs, Longsworth, you do not know who this young Us lady is but she knows who you are. Neither do you nor the young lady know who I am, but I shall tell you. You are 1ny wife and this young lady is our daughter. I was not lost at sea but we got on the wrong route thus making our voyage take nine months instead of two. When I heard that you had left Reedsville I hunted for you six years but was never able to trace you. I then decided to change my FQ name from William E. Longsworth to John H. Greening. When you came to Reedsville to obtain a position, I did not remember you. KN I had always called you Marie and had forgotten that your other name was Louise. Tell me, do you think what I have told you is true? if! Mrs. Longsworth looked up into the eyes of the man and said, William, do you suppose that I could not believe you'? Why, you have not changed a bit. I With these words Mrs. Longsworth and Mary Ellen fell weeping into the arms of VVilliam. Mary Ellen then told them about her home with the Smiths' near Milltown, Idaho. She told them that they all three wanted to go back to the Smiths' and tell them of this happy meeting. After several days of rejoicing they started My to Milltown to see Mr. and Mrs. Smith. When they arrived Mary Ellen told them the whole story. Mrs. Smith, with tears in her eyes asked forgiveness from Mrs. Longsworth. They immediately be- '-Q came good friends and Mr. and Mrs. Longsworth together with Mary Ellen made their 'T home near Milltown so that Marry Ellen could remain with them but also visit 'T with Mr. and Mrs. Smith. fm As Mr. Longsworth had been working hard he had a large bank account by Lf' now and he paid Mr. Smith the fifty thousand dollars that he owed him. V-3 Never was there any one so happy as were Mr, and Mrs. Longsworth and Mary G' Ellen, after seventeen years of separation. -Lucile Reidenbach I 1 bl fit- C5 gi .. ,- --,. , ' 7 ,, ff Vfvl rRfi3M7eRfa'?s0f+ ir' ruffevlii I 9- 8 ixjf-'Qg?JgRfsa2i4SsE?

Despite this we soon were able to adapt ourselves to the new surroundings. It was with much pride and enthusiasm that we announced the result of our iirst class meeting: President, Harold Leslie, Vice-president, John Marshall, and Secretary-Treasurer, Mildred Armstrong. We chose as our class colors, scarlet and gray. As is the case with most Freshmen we were not very prominent dur- ing our first year in high school. The outstanding event of the year was our welcome by the Sophomore Class at the Freshmen-Sophomore banquet. Although we were only Freshmen, we were represented in athletics by Lester Green, who won a letter in both football and basketball, and by Mary Shaffer. Thus with the aid of our sponsor, Miss Lichtensteiger, We sallied through the Green Stage quite successfully. We entered our Sophomore year happy to think we were assembled together again. For our class officers we chose Lucile Reidenbach, Presi- dent, Lester Green, Vice-president, and Mary Shaffer, Secretary-Treas- urer, having for our sponsor Mr. Livingston. We also decided to retain our class colors, scarlet and gray, throughout our high school career. The outstanding social events that marked our second year in Convoy High School were: Wiener roast, Halloween party, enjoyed by entire high school, and our all day picnic at Villa Nova on the last day of school. In athletics we were represented by three boys-Lester Green, Doyt Dauler, and William Myers in both football and basketball. Three girls, Lucile Reidenbach, Mildred Armstrong, and Mary Shaffer, gained recog- nition in basketball. Displaying more enthusiasm and higher ambitions, we began our third year again under the leadership of our sponsor, Mr. Livingston, and the following officers: Dorris High, President, Mary Shaffer, Vice-presi- dent, and Alice Holmes, Secretary-Treasurer. As a means of making money to help finance the Bellerophon, we put on a McCall's Magazine campaign. In this we were very successful. In previous years we had not shown much talent in music but this year one of our members, Agnes Redlinger, came forward and won sec- ond prize in the girl's solo at our local Eisteddfod. Another social event of the year was the Junior Class play, A Lucky Break, in which several participated. The crowning event which marked our third year was the Junior-Senior banquet, which, judging from rumors, was very successful.

William Myers, Doyt Dauler, 'iw Paul Snyder, and Lowell Pifer each received places of honor on the squad. fi' In basketball, however, only one of our members, William Myers, made the team. On the girls' basketball team we were represented by three girls, Mildred Armstrong, Mary Shaffer, and Lucile Reidenbach, Lucile being captain of the team. We began our fourth and last year in Convoy High School as dignified Seniors, determined to make our class one that could be looked up to and IF. which would be an example for others to follow. The following officers were elected: President, Morgan Bachlerg Vice-president, Mary Shaffer, Secretary, Leonard Etzlerg and Treasurer, Irene Augenstein. This year ', promises to be the fullest thus far in our high school career. QP 'Y' Again as in our Junior year we put on a McCall's Magazine campaign in which we were even more successful than we were in the first one. As ,L Seniors we came forward and showed some rare ability, which we had -' neglected to do in our previous years. John Marshall won the honor of representing us with the oration and Mary Shaffer with the recitation at the County Oratorical Contest. A new feature in school activities was introduced, which was the debating team. In this we were represented by Harold Leslie, William Myers, Dorris High, Irene Augenstein, and Velma McClure, Mary Shaffer and Vondale Terry were alternates. iz V I v x .ie This year as in other years we were represented in football by William , 4 ig, Myers, Dorris High, Paul Snyder, Mervin Lee, and Doyt Dauler, the latter 'f acting as captain of the squad. All the aforenamed made splendid records for the squad, making us very proud. In basketball we were not so well fi' W represented by the boys, but those who did represent us made up in quality what we lacked in quantity. Again as in football, William Myers, V Doyt Dauler and Mervin Lee represented us. In girls' basketball we did I not gain over our two previous years. Lucile Reidenbach was again elected if captain, and Mildred Armstrong, Mary Shaffer and Ruth Sheets received U f J fx w ,L places of honor on the team. . l',, We realize that our time in dear old Convoy High School is drawing to a close. And now we look cheerfully forward to Commencement and what is to come beyond that. But as we stand on the threshold of a new N life and look back over our four years of struggles and hardships from which we have gained much, the words Alma Mater grow very dear to if us. As we pass through the same doors outward bound that we have passed through for several years, we are ready to face the trials and 5. battles in life and to carry out our motto, If we do not find a path we'll 1 ' make one.

For the pastfour years,tn1known1to niy hiends,I have been studying Palmistry in my spare hours. This has been in preparation for my life's work. My ovvn palni reveals Hiat niy greatest and nnost accurate prophecies willlie given before I have finished my high school course. These will be prophecies daring in their conclusions and of such accuracy that I feel that the future has not been revealed by me alone but by some inner spirit. VVhen students graduate froni high school and are to take places of responsibh- ity in life. they wish to know something of their destiny or some fact in their future life upon which they may base their course in beginning life's journey. Presumably, for this reason the president of the class, Ddorgan lBaehler, upon liearhig of niy ex- tensive study, canie to nie requesting that I read his palni and teh hini his future In complying with his wish this is what I found: Morgan will spend his life jonrneying. But lo, his traveling will be over a set territory. Hence we conclude that he is to be a traveling salesman. He will begin his career as a salesnian of narne cards. Tdien after niuch xvork lie wih beconie the head narne card salesnian for the Richey Bhigraving Conipany. One would hardly imagine Lucile Reidenbach as seriously considering the future but she was the next to ask that I read her palm. Her hands, it appears, will always be concerned with cleanlhiess as they foreteh that she is to be head laundress hi a cleaning estabhshnient winch speciahzes in the cleaning of basketbah suits It E uiinecessary to teh xvhere she received her start in hte. I learned from Esther Muntzinger's and Veronia Carrier's hands that they will journey through life together. Behold, they will be high-salaried professors of mathematics in the Tully-Convoy High school. Little do their instructors compre- hend their great ability. Dol'a Duncan, I discovered. is to be a demure far1ner's wife. The farmer's ini- tials are C. M., which of course, stands for Corwin May. In the summer he will be busy with his farnr but wih take on the added duty of being caretaker of the Hldle Hour Cemetery, where exquisitely gardened plots, look from daisy dotted hill slopes across the snihing Eelds of hiatasquanr' I must pass rapidly over these facts for the time allotted me is very short. Next Velma McClure visited me. From her palm I gathered that she is to enter a part- nership with M. L.-Mervin Lee, of course, she a beauty specialist. Mervin a dancing instructor. They xvhl beconie so fanious that they xyhl End it necessary to rnove their headquarters from Fort Wayne to New York City. Oh! such tricks as fate will play upon us, unaware! I learned from John Mar- shalVs hand that he isto becoine a basketbah coach, never jonrneying far froni Con- voy buttaking up teaching and coaching nithe Dixon Junior High before he Hnished ins coHege course Vondale Ter1'y's future did not much surprise me for from all appearances she wih beconio a bookkeeper,later1ising to a posnion in the research departnient of Ohio State University. Ruth Sheets' fate is on a similar plane. She will be a clerk in the ofhce of a county agent, having iuider her special charge the recording of dairy cattle tests. The future of Doyt Dauler begins with a great change in scholarship,for I es- peciahy noted that he is to be the assmtant professor of Lathi and Greek in a large parochial school. At the present it seems impossible but the affairs of men always change with the spinning of the fates The peaceable, quiet Helen Riley is to be one of the future riots of the New York stage. We always did have faith in her golden curls, sea blue eyes and dramatic abil- ity but never did we expect them to carry her farther than some nice man's kitchen.

Dorris High and Edwin Beatty I learned are to be joint owner-s of a system of hatcheries, that will extend over half the states of the Union. Of all the unusual things-Paul Snydel' gives us the greatest surprise! In vain he will attempt to enlist in the Navy and sail the high seas only to return and settle in Convoy, accepting the position of night-watchman of that town. All through the dark hours of the night he will wander on the streets with only his pipe as companion. Our class seems to have drifted apart in twos and threes for I perceived that Myrtle Showalter will become a writer for the Convoy News, having special charge of a column of the paper entitled, Bring Your Troubles to Myrt, in which she will give advice to the lovelorn. This section of the paper will become so very popular that Alice Holmes will also be employed as an assistant to Myrtle. Harold Leslie was so very busy he had little time to consider the future, but iinally he came to ine. He will always follow the same li11e of work he is now doing but will become much more renowned. NVhile still a very young man he will be known all over Northwestern Ohio as one of the best farmer's institute entertainers. Even though he doesn't like horses he will do his bit to encourage the farmers, At a very early age Leonard Etzler, better known as Jack, showed marked abil- ity for the work which later become his life's work. He will begin his career as a mechanic in the Fort VVayne fire department. From this position he will rise to be one of the best fire engine drivers in Indiana. retaining this place until forced by old age to retire on a pension. On the palms of Wanda Neadstine and Wilma Fensler I read of very successful futures. They will begin their careers together as proprietors and managers of a small tea room in Zulu. From this modest beginning their business will grow until they are able to establish a system of tea rooms. This success will insure them against poverty in the latter years of their life which they will spend together as retired spinsters of Convoy, I was shocked when I read the palm of VVilliam Myers for I knew one of his high school friends thought he would be a farmer. We can hardly imagine her disap- pointment when she lea1'11s that he will be a prize fighter, never to rise very high in his circle because he lacks the disposition of a pugilist. Nolan Friedly. I learned, is to be a big butter and egg man, supplying from his large dairy and poultry farm butter, eggs, and milk to nearly half the state of Ohio. Much of his success will he due to his silent partner in life who is known to us as I1'ene Augenstein. She will be the one who, in the early part of their married life will scrimp and save to make their future glories possible. Mildred Armstrong thought her future was so secure that it was needless to con- sult me. However when she came I surprised her with the things which I revealed. Mildred and Agnes Redlinger will work together in a sanitarium. Agnes will sing to the patients while Mildred holds their hands. The cure is a new theory which, I fear is doomed to work best on those of the feminine gender for the ofiicials of the sanitarium will be unable to convince the men that they are well enough to leave the care the nurses give them, Mr. G. H. Livingston was the last to come to me. This is probably because one of the most interesting parts of his life has already been enacted although in modern life it is not always considered permanent. His friends, however. will be interested to know that he will become a dentist. establishing his office in Van VVert. This will be the meeting place of his former students, now his patrons. The members of the Class of 1928 being so anxious to give him patronage will all have false teeth before they reach the age of thirty-five. Though not of Romany I'll live as freeg When my palm's crossed with silver, A fortune I'll see fJust Try Mel I live not with kin for I love to roam, VVhere I takeoff my hat. there is my home. -Mary R.

These Freshmen were not lack- , ing in the greenness characteristic of such groups. However, this soon wore oif, and we became used to our surroundings. Several weeks after school started, the Class organized, electing the following officers: Presi- A dent, Gaylord Stemen, Vice-president, Alfred Leeg Secretary, Howard Giessler, and Treasurer, Chester Martin. Blue and gold were chosen for our class colors. The social events of the season were a wiener roast in the fall, a party at North's, and a picnic in the spring. The Class gave the F Arbor Day Program, and took a prominent part in the Eisteddfod, winning lg first place in the Girls' Trio. In athletics we made a good beginning with 'j two or three of our number being reserves in basketball and football. When we returned to school the next year as Sophomores, We felt 'gg very much at home and rejoiced that we were no longer green freshiesf' When we met to elect class officers, we saw that our number had decreased .,' considerably. Corwin Lytle was elected President: Herbert Stump, Vice- li president, and Laura Kreischer, Secretary-Treasurer. In athletics we YQ were represented by Alfred Lee and Clarence Black on the football team, and Gaylord Stemen, Vernie Densel, Fern North, and Marie Greulach on ,- the basketball teams. Again we made a good showing in the Eisteddfod. 3,-, In the County Oratorical Contest a member of our class, Mary Louise ,ll Long, represented the school with her short-story, Jeanette's Master if piece, and won first place in the contest. At the patriotic program gixen ' by the Class on Washington's Birthday, Mary Louise Long read the essay I on Lincoln that won for her the medal given by The Illinois Watch Com- -a, pany. During the year we enjoyed several parties, including a Wiener ,,' roast, a sled ride, a roller skating party, and a farewell party, at the home I- Q of Laura Kreischer. Four of our number were with us for the last time at gif this party, for the re-districting of the county placed them in other schools. .f And now we come to the present year. Our officers are: Howard f, Giessler, President, Herbert Stump, Vice-presidentg Mary Louise Long, if Secretary, and Meredith Springer, Treasurer. The class colors were changed to pink and green. We decided to pay ten cents a month class dues during the school year. In several ways we have secured money that i will be needed for class activities. We sold sandwiches and candy at the football and basketball games, and put on some sales campaigns, the Crow- V ell Magazine netting us the most money. The Class has been prominent in musical and literary lines this year. We gave the Thanksgiving Pro- gram, and Juniors appeared several times on the chapel programs. Mary 4' Louise Long and Howard Giessler are on the debating team. This year Convoy won second place in the County Oratorical Contest's short-story jf division with My Help Cometh From the Hills by Mary Louise Long. if In athletics we made a fine showing. We were proud to have five of our , boys on the football team. These were: Chester Martin, Gaylord Stemen, ,li Corwin Lytle, Meredith Springer, and Howard Giessler. On the basketball teams were Gaylord Stemen, Vernie Densel. Howard Giessler, Corwin Lytle, ,f Fern North and Marie Greulach, with several others faithful in practice. ,,' The Junior Class Play and the Junior-Senior Banquet are the two big 511, events that will round out the year for us. Then our third year in high school will be completed, and there will remain for us one more year, our ' last. -Francis Augenstein '29, ll Qgxcq-5?9gX,2afsRF,f1'-w??aff-:LZ 1928 -irgigqpsa-fir?

SOPHOMORE CLASS HISTORY In the fall of 1926, we, as a large class of green freshes organized with President, Gage Helms, Vice-president, Hy Davis, Secretary-Treas- urer, Billy Long, and sponsor, Miss Hammarstrom. Our class has dwin- dled from an original enrollment of forty-four to twenty-six. The first great event of the year was a Wiener roast which was held in a grove four miles east of Convoy. Under the excellentf?l leadership of Carl Dauler, detouring because of bridges, mudholes and ends of roads, we finally arrived at our destination. Shrouded in darkness, we made our way by use of flashlights to gather fuel for our bonfire. We soon had the gloom chased away by the light and warmth of the Iire. The evening was spent in playing games and in roasting marshmallows and wieners. The next great event of the year was the party held at the home of Bonita Roberts, given by the losers in the spelling contest for the winners. Sandwiches, candy, angel food cake and cocoa were served. We also helped to get subscriptions to various magazines for the Seniors to help them finance the Bellerophon. Friendly rivalry existed be- tween the Rustlers and the Hustlers not only in selling magazines but also in the basketball game which closed the contest. We, as Freshmen, also took an active part in the annual Hallowe'en party by wearing grotesque costumes and having a hilarious time. Our blood still runs cold when we think of our initiation. We were well represented in Girls' Glee, Girl Reserves, Boys' Glee, High School Orchestra, basketball and football, although we were merely Freshmen. As the fall of 1927 rolled around we reorganized with President, Elizabeth Freckg Vice-president, Eva Wilson, Secretary, Billy Longg Treas- urer, Besse Rummelg and sponsor, Mr. Swartz. We have chosen orchid and rose as our class colors, pink tea rose as our fiower, Strive to reach the distant goal as our class motto. We have taken a much more active part in our School Activities this year than we did as Freshmen. Besides the interest of our class in the Orchestra, Girl Reserves, Girls' Glee, Boys' Glee, we were exceptionally well represented on all athletic teams. As our represntatives in football we had Gage Helms and Murray Woods, and in basketball, Hy Davis, Gage Helms, Paul Hedges, Altha Kilgore, Dorothy Lee and Elizabeth Freck. Other members of the class loom up as good material for next year. Our first social event this year was the Freshman-Sophomore Wiener roast. Although we had some difiiculty in getting our fire to burn properly, we declared the party a success, and no one went home without all the buns, wieners and marshmallows he could eat. Numerous games brought the evenings' entertainment to a happy close. Our only other social event was our annual Halloween party, where we thoroughly enjoyed ourselves, finding our way through the back en- trance in the dark, and trying to recognize our friends dressed up in hideous costumes. We are looking forward to a bigger and better future as Juniors and Seniors in school activities. We have already begun to prepare for the responsiblity of the future and we have a nice nest egg due to our bake sale. We are planning other means of defraying expenses in the coming two years. As a class we are always working for a Bigger and Better Convoy High School. -Winifred Reidenbach '30. S. lf gl f53wwgzmfsQ.42gm2wfe:sf1?ef:1vg 1928 uffsasesafsfwss ' Page 39 L 4 r 3 5- xl, ll .

The main social event took place in October, when the Sophomores entertained the Freshmen with a Wiener and marshmallow roast in the field back of the schoolhouse. This introduction into the social life of the high school was appreciated by all members. Several of our girls were members of the Girls' Glee Club and the Girl Reserves as were also some of the boys of the Boys' Glee Club. Many of the girls were enrolled in Home Economics' Class, and some of the boys in the Manual Training Classes. The class as a whole took an active interest in athletics, being repre- sented on the high school basketball teams by Mildred Tracy, Helen Brick- er and John Shader, while four of our boys, John Shaffer, Harold and Ferrol Joseph and John Steele participated in football. Esther Gardner, Altha Armstrong, Edna Heath, Catherine Jones, Helen May and Betty Dwire tcaptainl represented us on the girls' Junior high team, while Frederick Foley tcaptainl, Merlin Smith, Ferrol Joseph, Darold Burley and John Steele were members of the boys' junior high team. Esther Gardner represented us on the high school debating team, being one of the debaters on the negative side. The Christmas Seal campaign was carried on in the whole High School, everyone took an active interest in it-the Freshmen selling the most seals. The Freshmen gave a musical program in Chapel and they also gave the High School program for Arbor Day. Our reason in spending four years in high school in which we must either fight the battles or fall by the wayside may be found in the fol- lowing quotation: The true purpose of education is to cherish and unfold the seed of immortality already sown within usg to develop to their fullest extent, the capacities of every kind with which the God who made us has endowed us. -Betty Dwire and Norma Ballenbacher '31. gsm ,.ki3rJs,:-i'ef,a-EQ'afs.:fs'f'f2?+1'f -43:6 1928 f1ScF9Ei7B9f257NE?x34Q f'1I3Tl' if -f 'f Page 45 ' X.. gp. ., 1. 1 i I i 1 in .1 ll A. v If 1 cl .Arn Y . ff 'v rt , 1, 4 I . i 7,5 .rl ff A v P -.4 52 ir' V X. , I . g., -1- , ,, . 1: J -v, A fi l F H5 nit. 17 -3 4: Y N ! 1 .ir A J D ai Yi A Q 42? 1 1 1' Jl n tk 1 A 4' K I, N l ,Izzy K ' 'lx fill L rl Fl ll FRESHMAN CLASS ly, if CLASS OFFICERS IT . . yi President ......-.. .--------- B etty DNV11'9 4 V-ice-presiclent .... --..-,- F rederick Foley 5,1 Secretafry ,........ ---,,-- - -Helen' Bricker ,lf Treasurer ..-.- ----,-- M ildred Tracy H. px Class Motto- If the elevator of success is not running take the stairs ff Class Flower-Sweet Peas.

Heretofore all positions had been filled by popu- lar election of the Senior Class. This year it was decided to break away from this custom to a certain extent. Instead of the class electing all staff members they were permitted to elect all but the Editor-in-Chief, and the Business Manager. These were appointed by the Administrative Department of the school. Much time and effort were spent in the selec- tions for these two positions. Ability and effort shown in conducting the business of the class during the past three and one-half years were taken into consideration as was also scholarship. Following these appointments the Senior Class as a whole seemed to sense these same qualifications in their election of the other members of the staff. Each member of the staff deserves much credit and the high- est praise for his untiring efforts. The Senior Class as a whole should be proud of such a staff being selected from their ranks. +Ei9:r,2ff-5?1'?+e ' a+ it fi fel' 8 f::i5'1.if,feP-fe Ds as 'ff F Page 55 4' .

PM MY HELP COMETH FROM THE HILLS On a bright, autumnal afternoon the train on a southern railway puffed slowly along as M approached Idtunan Centex a sn1aH viHage nesding at the foot of Pin- nacle Mountain in Tennessee. At one of the coach windows a pair of sparkling eyes was eagerly scanning the picturesque scenery and the quaint, backwoods village with its small cabins. As the train slowed down and the conductor brusquely called, Pitt- man Center! Pittman Center! Rose McArthur, carrying two heavy suit cases, climbed down the steps of the train and hurried to the baggage car to see that her trunk was unloaded. After seeing it safely deposited before the door of the rickety, little build- ing, evidently intended for a station, she paused for a nionnent to catch her breath and gazed intently at her surroundings. Soon a rough-looking Inan, curious about the pretty stranger, canie up and be- gan to stare first at the newcomer and then at her baggage. Rose boldly approached hinr asking,'TIouffaris H to Pine-Notch Gap?H The stranger slowly rolled his quid of tobacco around in his mouth and deliber- atehfspat upon the ground. Then he drawled out HPdne-Notch Gap? YVaL I'low hit's about eighteen mile thar from hyar. Hit's roun' on t'other side of the mountain. Thar a'int no way ta git thar 'cept on foot 'less some one'll haul ye. Rose anxiously queried, Do you suppose I could get sonie one around here to takeine outto Pine-Notch Gap? I have quhe a Htde baggage,and I aniso anxious to get the1'e tonight! I'll pay any one Well who will take 1116. Do you know of mmne one who ndh do R?H HVVaL noun Iicckon I nnght as welltake ye down yonder nnself beins lun goin' horne in 'bout halfln-hour and I hve out thar. I guess the ole niuledl git us thar agin dark,if ye be in sech a hurryf' , In just thirty-five minutes Rose McArthur, bag and baggage, was jolting along over the mountain road, which was little more than a trail through the Smoky Moun- tains of Tennessee. The sturdy mountaineer stood at the extreme back of the wagon with the long lines extending from the mule in front to where he was standing driv- ing. Every now and then the wagon dropped into the remnant of a mudhole. and as Rose was seated on the soft side of a newly-hewn board, she received full benefit of all the ups and downs. However, the soft, purple haze enveloping the whole inountain side so enhanced the briHiance of the autunin foHage and the beauty of the landscape that Rose, entirely overcome by its loveliness, did not even notice the discornforts of her journey. Finalhg just as the sun xvas setthig, the traH turned into a deep cleft in the inountanis and the nionntaineer broke the long snence by ren1arking,'HI reckon ye knonfthat dns hyars Pdne-Notch Gapf' Rose inquired of the mountaineer if she might stay over night at his home. He was hesitant for several minutes but Hnally consented to lodge her. In a short time they drew up before his home, a small, two-roomed cabin, built of logs, out of which poured a number of children, followed by a tall, slatternly woman. This proved to be the family of Bill Henderson, the man who had brought Rose to Pine-Notch Gap. That night as Rose lay on the rough straw-tick in her room shared by the moun- taineers vdfe and three daughters gazing up at the starry sky through a narrow window, she reviewed the events of the last two months in her mind. She remem- bered the speech in ndnch she had heard so earnest an appeal for workers in the inountain regions of the souths She relnenibered hoxv the speaker had quoted froni Kipling whose Prospector says, Something lost behind the mountain-Go and Hnd iL and hovflns words had surred her very soul She then recahed her visn to the Social Service Bureau, where she had selected the neighborhood of Pine-Notch Gap as the center of her labors. Then, preparadons and the journey doxvn there-and then, Pine-Notch Gap itself. Already her mind was seething with plans for her work here. Of course she would start a school for the children first of all. While thinking of this her mind trailed off into slumber. fgofwfusseckewf-tfcakstsfegfszgg 1928 Page 56 i ' 1 .- 4 .v Li fM2H1ef:'.' lpfiffw' ' are . ff A111 lu il' ' v 1. V 7 U, 'A 11 U5 of On the following morning Bill Henderson took her down to the little, abandoned ,f schoolhouse,xvhich had been buih sorne years before but had never been used.as the E teacher who was to come there met with a fatal accident on the way. After examin- bu hug M carefulhfllose decided that in a few days thne she could get the schoolhouse if ready and open school. After htHng out the disused schoolhouse for occupancy, wdnch process nieant thorough scrubbing and funngating, she enhsted the services if of Pete Henderson, a gawky, shock-headed boy of twelve. x' With Pete as her guide she visited the dozen cabins that were tucked away in the clefts of the mountain. She was received with shy friendliness by the lanky, moun- tain women, who generally had half a dozen youngsters hiding behind their skirts, as f they talked to Rose. The mountain girls took in every detail of Rose's simple cos- F tume and looked with misgivings at their own homespun garments and bare feet. 'X After she had explained her mission, a wall of reserve seemed to come between her iQ and the nzountain fanihies and as Rose reached the llenderson cabin that night,she U wondered what the outcome of her efforts to help these simple folks would be. Rose , had rnade arrangernents with the good-natured ndfe of Bih Ilenderson to rernain at ' her home for a while at least. As Mrs. Henderson asked Rose about her visits to the ,Q niountain cabins that day. a signihcant glance passed between the rnother and the 'fi boy-a look that Rose could not understand. On the morning for the school to open Rose was up early and with a light heart il started for the schoolhouse. Suddenly she saiv a Hash of color in a tree, and as she :J came closer, a brilliant cardinal flew directly across her path. Rose immediately took vf this as a favorable omen for the succes of her work. However, she was doomed to if. dmappoh1unent,for the only pupUs who canuzto the schoolhouse were the seven -' Henderson children. She thought there must have been some misunderstanding as to , the day, but on the following morning and throughout the week matters did not im- 2 prove. Iler spirhs began to droop, but as she had expected to rneet and overconie Hi dHhculHes,she deternuned to solve dns problenr l At last Bill Henderson, pityin' the young miss, told her of an ancient mountain L feud between the members of the Smith and Smalley families which, for generations H had destroyed all hopes of progress aniong these niountaineers. The feud had as- Q' surned such propordons that every fannly in Pine-Notch Gap had taken sides ehher fl with Eb Smith or Cy Smalley. Their hatred for each other was so bitter that, if the Q5 Smalleys attended the school, the Smiths would not and vice versa. Rose now could 3, clearhrsee the reason for the fahure of her plans Q, She decided that she must wait for fate to help her, and, in the meantime, she in would be as friendly as possible to the mountaineers. She spent the following weeks 'Q helping the Ilenderson fanihy to better niodes of hving and in exploring the nioun- Qi tain paths. She found she vvas gaining a great deal in health and strength froni her -1 exercise in the open air, and her enjoyment of God's great out-of-doors brought calm 3, content to her Inind. One day she took her lunch and started to climb to Antler Peak, the highest point V wduch she could see fronithe Ilenderson cabin. She had spent a happy day and in V.. the late afternoon was returning home. As she walked slowly down a ravine, she saw 'f two children playing on the side of the hiH just above her. Ilose renienibered that H she was nearing the Sniahey cabin and supposed that these were the chhdren of Cy i, Smalley, but on approaching nearer saw to her astonishment that it was Eb Smith's rl little boy, Jed and five year old Alice Smalley. They were playing together as in- Q nocenuy as though theh'grandshes had never engaged in a feud that had brought hatred to the whole mountainside. A She was wondering how this odd pair happened to be together and had decided ff that Jed's father must be hunting in this neighborhood when she heard a dull roar. ,9 At Hrst she thought it was thunder, but on looking up she SaW'SODle snuHl,loose S, stones rohing dosvn the hihside. Rose had been in the niountains long enough to ,bg know what this meant, and she saw that the babes were in the direct course of an avalanche ofrocks and stones that would crush thenito death. Forgeuing her own safety,she ran up the hiHside,snatched the chUdren.and thren'theniout ofthe path , of alarge boulder. Iiowever,she was not quick enough to escape h herseH. The tg, nextthing she knew she waslying on the Hoor ofthe Snunley cabin ndth Eb Snnth f and Cy Sniahey bending anxiously over her. They had heard the noise of the avab .,' anche and had reached the scene just in time to see her risk her life for their children. Ll Fortunately Ro-se's injuries were not serious and in a few days she had two call- fl ers, Smith and Cy Smalley. They came together and Eb spoke for both of them. ff' In a sincere voice he said, We 'low as how if ye want ta have school down thar in W the schoolhouse,ye kin count on our younguns conihr every day.

AMERICAN IDEALS History is a great romance. It is the story of the building of one great empire and the downfall of another. Whenever ideals were high, civilization was proportionately finer, more cultural, and more lasting, but the lowering of ideals always has meant the downfall of nations. When Columbus set sail upon an uncharted sea, he began a new epoch in history, for he was destined to discover a continent within whose con- fines should be born a nation that has highest ideals. These ideals were not born in a day but were a process of growth and many of them have been bought at a great price. The first people who came to America were desirous of power and were seeking riches. Later, bcause of the religious intolerance of the Old World, people came seeking a place ofifreedom-- freedom to worship as they pleased, freedom to rule themselves, freedom to live as they desired. These people sacrificed home, wealth, and power for this one ideal-liberty. Give me liberty, or give me death, cried Pat- rick Henry, when the mother country, Great Britain, was taking away one by one the rights and privileges of the American colonists. Washington said, t'Love of Iiberty needs no recommendations, for it is in the hearts of all. There are several kinds of liberty-personal liberty, that is, freedom of thought, word, and action, national liberty, independence from oppres- sion or tyranical rule, civil liberty, the right to be free from interference from the government, as long as that conduct does not menace other peo- ple, political liberty, having a share and interest in the governmentg relig- ious liberty, the right to worship as one pleases. The foremost of Amer- ican ideals is Liberty. Another ideal of which we, as Americans, boast is equality. In some respects men are not created equal. A person's heritage is never quite the same as his neighbor's. In personal characteristics we are distinctly not equal and nothing can makeus so. What is meant then when we speak of equality'? Just this--before the law as before God we are on the same plane, and every man has an equal opportunity with his neighbor to make the most of the talents he possesses. Emerson said, America is another name for Opportunity, and we all have equal rights to use every oppor- tunity for bettering ourselves. The pursuit of Happiness, according to the Declaration of Inde- pendence is another of our Hunalienable rights. What is Happiness? Every man has his ideal for happiness-but not all our ideals of it are the same. To one person it may spell power, to another, social position, to a third, wealth, to still others, health, work or leisure. That each should strive in any right way for his kind of happiness is not an unreasonable ideal. We have heard much, too, about iDemocracy as an ideal.

What is democracy? Perhaps it would be suflicient to say, De- mocracy is self-governmentf' Or it is, as Lincoln put it, a government of the people, by the people, and for the people. To iind out what the people want, and then do it, is the theory of democracy, and it is an ideal, that, in spite of the lament of those who see only the graft, the greed and the abuses of political power, we believe America will sometime realize in its purity. It is fine to have these ideals, and still finer to strive to reach them, for they will not come to reality merely by being born in our minds. We must create conditions which will help the ideal to grow and become real. People have always sought to attain their ideals by cooperation with other people who have the same ideals. Cooperation today means even more than it did to our primitive ancestors. Our community life is very complex. An individual or family could not provide for its own needs and desires in any important respect. This is the age of specialization. The very organ- ization of our government is based on the theory of cooperation. Coopera- tion, free, fair, and full, we must therefore conclude as an absolute neces- sity to the attainment of our ideals. If we are idealistic, why do the foreign countries, China, Japan and India, make this accusation against us:-that we are a materialistic coun- try? Judge Florence Allen denies this charge and says: This is, in the great body of it, a truly idealistic people, the first nation in the world to declare that government has an ethical purpose. And those of us who be- lieve in the ethics and philosophy of Jesus Christ, believe that doctrine. But do you know why they think we are a materialistic nation? It is be- cause we have not made our idealism and our Christianity articulate in our national and group life. And that idealism will not become articulate, until those of us who believe in Christ's doctrine, make our power felt in the government. Every honest Christian voter who stays away from the polls on election day hinders America from reaching her ideals. Greece fell when she lost her trust in the humanistic deities of Olym- pus. Rome fell when her faith fell, blind superstition though it may have been. The strength of American civilization is in the high ideals of Chris- tianity. In the principles of the Nazarene the world received its first real complete vision of truth, and unless these ideals are made the soul of Amer- ican civilization, we shall likewise become as those fallen empires. Far-called, our navies melt away- On dune and headland sinks the fire- Lo, all our pomp of yesterday Is one with Nineveh and Tyre! Judge of the nations, spare us yet, Lest we forget-lest we forget!

At L31 this time a kitchen and a new sewing room, with moderately good equip- A ment were a part of the addition to the building. 5X In 1926 our high school was chartered as a Six Year High School. -qi . This necessitated the seventh and eighth grade coming into the Home is Economics classes. -It A Cafeteria has been opened which now serves meals daily. Many of QP if the pupils and faculty take advantage of this in order that they may get a A warm meal. The cafeteria has proven to be a very successful business ,El ,Qi proposition. The money that is earned by this and other means is used .9 fl in buying new equipment for the department. in ' L ' 5, -,I The fall of 1927-28 found the largest enrollment in the department in 5,2 the history of the school. This includes, for the first time a rather large 7 r l 'Z-, advanced sewing class. xg 'gif It was decided to organize a Home Economics Club this year, any 11, gl member of the Home Economics classes being eligible for membership. A qi' gf short time before Christmas vacation the club gave a play entitled A -,W l-ffl Fashion Show in Convoy , in connection with an exhibit of the work that had been completed up to that time. This proved to be very successful, .fx lj being the best Home Economics exhibition in the history of the school, in fpi Wg fact so much so that it has been decided to hold another exhibit this spring. -'O gg' Much of the success of the department, this year, is due to the ener- 1,1 Q! getic efforts of the Home Economics teacher, Miss Heath. 4' if GIRL RESERVE CLUB ilj gf, The Girl Reserve Club was organized in the fall of 1926 with Fern gl Baker, our presidentg Marie Greulach, our vice-presidentg Laura McOmber, 41' . our secretary-treasurer5 and Miss Hammarstrom, our faculty advisor. As 1' this club was a new organization in T. C. H. S., the girls did not accomplish P5 very much. This, however, did not discourage any of the girls as they were JW' ready to reorganize and make their next club a success. This year the 5 girls elected as president, Lucile Reidenbachg vice-president, Elizabeth Freck, secretary-treasurer, Marie Greulach. As their faculty advisor they i did not choose one but all the Senior High teachers to help take part in 5: making this year's club a successful one. W' fr 1 .au One of the outstanding things the Girl Reserves did this year was to 1 fil. 'j pack a large box of candies, nuts, fruits and cookies which they took to the ff Van Wert County Infirmary as a Christmas gift. The girls of this club were Qi always willing to help usher at our entertainments and especially were they iz, always ready with a willing hand to help out when anyone was needed on xi' li short notice. The girls had several parties and many of the girls from Q li Convoy attended the spring and fall conferences of all the Girl Reserve fi, 'A Clubs of the county which were held at the Y. W. C. A. at Van Wert. ffl L4-. . . . . . ts if We, the Senior members who are going to leave you this spring wish li' ff the remaining Girl Reserves even greater success in the following years than we have had this year. fl -Lucile Reidenbach , x if 1 51 .

Despite this fact many of the high school students, attired in unusual and grotesque costumes wended their ways through the dark streets to the school building, where fi they were forced to enter through the back door. Oh, the horrors we passed throughg the terrible ghosts we met on ffl the dark stairwaysg the hair raising screams of our fellow sufferers, and E the brutal treatment we received until at last we arrived at the gymna- ,L sium! The relief we felt on seeing the black and yellow decorations can D never be described. After much guessing as to who your neighbor was, the time for un- it masking came. Who would ever have thought that Miss Heath could .71 become such a clown or that any of our high school students could ever S1 get themselves into those old-fashioned dresses. Ji When all had unmasked they went through the booths which were gy lined on either side of the gymnasium. Here each learned when and 1 where he would meet his partner in life, what the future held in store 3,1 for him and innumerable things which were very interesting. When gl everyone had learned of his future and shaken the hand of a spirit, the lg' Girl Reserve Kitchen Band played for us. Even though the music was K not beautiful it was at least entertaining. lii With this last number the program closed and real Hallowe'en re- freshments consisting of apples, doughnuts, and candy were served. This lla party will always be remembered by the class of 1928 as one of the many ,lv good times we had in high school. 1 if THE JUNIOR-sEN1oR BANQUET l TL, Never has the gymnasium appeared more beautiful than on April 20, 1927, when the Class of 1928 entertained the Seniors. The hall was dec- 1 orated with palms and ferns. Shaded lamps and candles cast a subdued , light over the long white tables which were trimmed with novel decora- tions in the Senior colors, yellow and nile green. The table bouquets were lj of yellow iris. As favors maize tea roses, the Senior flower, were given. A delicious four-course dinner was served to the members of the WK two Classes, the Faculty and the School Board. A welcome was extended 43, by Dorris High, president of the Junior class. The response was given gl, by Ford Clay. Mr. Shaffer represented the Faculty and Mr! Snyder, the School Board. Between courses Mildred Armstrong read a class prophecy for the Senior class and Leonard Etzler, a class will. Music for the occa- .N sion was furnished by some of the world's greatest masters through the P use of an Orthophonic Victrola. Q. .Ll This gathering was truly one of the most beautiful ever held in our 1-N school and will long be remembered by those who attended. v Z, fQsxmQi11f-?Qr,2.af-Ssieeq H--142 A ff H-:fi af I 9 2 8 of If' ,fig 5-is me be A 1-1 Page 65 rl-'x Q, Q vijF 'f.fj '?.f,Z-Efdkfffllfgf-T9,-'fXfgC1f:1'i5r 4L'T' 32G,53glN:ii1,iT'ffEQ2?e.:,fa1fqfgb'?2t I Dorris High, Mary Louise Long, Mr. Paul Miller, Coach, Harold Leslie, Captain, Velma McClure. AFFIRMATIVE DEBATING TEAM After two years' vacation Convoy again entered debating teams in the field for honors. The afiirmative team composed of Mary Louise Long, Dor- ris High, Harold Leslie and Velma McClure with Harold Leslie as captain, debated against Union at Convoy in the County Triangular Debates on the question:-Resolved that the Federal Government establish a department of education with a secretary in the President's cabinet. Clt being under- stood that the department of education be on a par with the other gov- ernment departmentsj. The debaters under the guidance of Mr. Paul Miller spent much time in preparation for this event and all acquitted themselves in a very com- mendable manner. The team upheld its side of the question by proving that the department is desirable because of the improvements it would bring aboutg that the present system is inadequateg and that a Department of Education is practicable. Mr. D. A. Snyder, president of the Board of Education presided at the debate. Honorable John I. Miller acted as judge, giving the affirmative team a score of 225 points and the negative a score of 241 points. Three members of the team are members of the class of 1928 so that this will be their last High School debate. We hope that in future years there will be students qualified and eager to take their places on the team.

NEGATIVE DEBATING TEAM On March 29, Convoy's Negative team, in spite of the rain and sleet, journeyed to Ohio City to debate with their affirmative on the question, Resolved that the Federal Government establish a department of Educa- tion with a secretary in the President's Cabinet, using the arguments that the department is undesirable because it would enter into politics and would be financially unsound, that it is unnecessary when the present con- ditions are adequate and that it is impractical. Each debater did his best and Mr. Bell the judge of the debate said that they made a fine showing. Much of the credit for the fine work done in this debate is due to Mr. Miller who worked conscientiously with the team. Of this team Irene Augenstein, captain, and William Myers will leave high school this year. But in their stead Esther Gardner and Howard Giessler will be experienced debaters and ready to take responsible places on the teams. 1 f f I Page 67 E mqE' ,u ' tw? ggi?

It had been confined espe- cially to the first two grades of high school. However, in 1926 the department received a decided impetus, when our high school was chartered as a Six Year High School. This, of course, necessitated the seventh and eighth grades coming into the manual train- ing classes. Much interest was shown by these lower grades. In fact, so much so that Mr. Livingston decided to have a manual arts exhibit which was the first of its kind to be held in Convoy High School. It seemed to surpass the highest expectations if the interest and enthusiasm of the community as a whole could be taken as a criterion. The next fall found the largest enrollment in this department in the history of the school, the actual students numbering eighty-two in all classes. This included an admirable increase in the advanced class. The shop is greatly in need of new equipment and especially of two or three power machines. It has come to the point now, in View of the im- mense increase in enrollment, where it is almost impossible to bring about the results desired by the community without the aid of machinery. However, we feel that the department has made wonderful progress in the past few years, and all are looking forward again this spring to a big- ger and better exhibit than that of last year.

H arriet and Jeanne Long During the past five school terms Mr. Glancy has set aside two columns in his paper, The Convoy Signal-News for the publishing of the Convoy School News, t'The Red and White . In this paper edited by the high school students have appeared the announcements and records of the school events, interesting feature stories, editorials, the lists of honor students, records of school attendance, athletic news and all the other activities and accomplishments of our school. The purpose of the paper is to create in- terest in our school and to tell the people of the community of the work we are doing in our classes. Besides all this the Red and White provides excellent training in journalism for the students who desire to make the best of their opportunities. In all ways it is a great asset to the school.

For the grade school Eisteddfod, the music instructor selected a group from each class who had been doing the best work and on March the fourteenth, with Miss Hazel Gleason as adjudicator they competed against each other. In the high school Eisteddfod held on the sixteenth of March any high school student who wished to do so could compete. Mr. James H. Jones of Van Wert was the adjudicator. The following are the numbers and those chosen to represent our school in the County High School Eisteddfod: : Soprano Solo, The Golden Key , Helen Sponseller. Alto Solo, The Prayer Perfect , Berniece Denig. Tenor Solo, Mother Machree , Frederick Foley. Bass Solo, Back Again in Eldon , William Myers. Girls' Duet, Sundown , Agnes Redlinger and Esther Gardner. Mixed Quartet, Bluebells of Scotland , Agnes Redlinger, Berniece Denig, Frederick Foley and William Myers. . Boys' Quartet, Stars of a Summer Night , Frederick Foley, Donald Lare, Russel Jones and William Myers. Comic Quartet, Katy Did , Mary Louise Long, Berniece Denig, Marie Greulach and Dorothy Pancake. The Girls' Chorus, Who oo? g The Boys' Chorus, The Sailors' Home Song g The Mixed Chorus, The Viking Song , were also sung, but were not entered in the competition. Prof. Hesser, supervisor of music in the Indianapolis public schools was the adjudicator at the County Eisteddfod. The contest was held both in the afternoon and evening of March the twenty-third. Although we did not come through with high honors nevertheless we were not held scoreless for we won Hrst place in the Comic Quartet, second place in the Girls' duet and third place in the Mixed Quartet, giving us a total of twenty points. Ohio City and Willshire tied for first place, each having eighty-eight points. ORATORICAL CONTESTS The preliminary contest to select representatives from our school to compete in the County Oratorical Contest was held January the twenty- fourth. There were three competitions:-The short story which was won by Mary Louise Long, the oration, won by John Marshallg and the reading, won by Mary Shaffer. The contest was interesting throughout and showed the unusual talent of the high school students. In the County Oratorical Contest held February the fourteenth, Con- voy ranked third in the County, first place being won by Willshire, and second place by York. Convoy's short story, My Help Cometh from the Hills , in the short story contest previously judged took second place. The winning story from Willshire was read at the contest. The reading, John- son's Boy and the oration, the Four Great American Ideals claimed third places. Dr. Charles Manchester, head of the Public Speaking Depart- ment of Defiance College, was the adjudicator for the evening. se: 7'fttI.TA9f-43,55 1928 A we g Page 72 ,rv-ww, fi lhtib-fP:5Q,f?..-W B+ -eil-ifs qXc?I1:i fi i U JUNIOR CLASS PLAY ADAM AND EVA by Guy Bolton and George Middleton CAST Janws King,u ruJLiuan ..4...Y-. . ..,,.,....- .......

Mr. King is a wealthy man with an ex- travagant, selfish family, clinging dependently upon him and apparently regarding him as bothersome except when he poises pen above check- book: These relatives even arrange with his physician, Dr. Delamater, to have him go away on a long trip, so that they may run up bills more freely. In comes Mr. King's young business manager, Adam Smith, who tells his employer how he would love a home. In exasperation Mr. King suggests that they change places, and puts him in command of the household, himself going off to South America on a business trip. Adam soon finds himself confronted by the same hurricane of flip- pancy and terrific bills for lingerie. As a desperate remedy he deludes the family into thinking that the King Rubber Company is ruined. In divers and humorous manners they meet the emergency. Of course, it does them all good and brings out the best in them, and Adam finds 1'0- mance and the promise of the kind of home he has pictured in his dreams.

Under the leadership Q of Miss Carolyn McFarland it has grown to be one of the best our school has ever possessed. They have played faithfully at all the special pro- grams and entertainments sponsored by the students and have proved a ir? I great factor in instilling pep at the basketball games. Only two mem- bers of the orchestra will leave school this Year, so we can expect as good or better orchestra next year than we had this year.

I SYNOPSIS John Bruce, born in a little town in Connecticut, returns after an absence of twenty years to build a factory for his people. But the land necessary for his factory is owned by his enemy, Abner Ketcham, who refuses to sell it, and plans to convert it into a cemetery. Abner's nephew, Benny, a super-salesman , undertakes to dispose of the cemetery lots by high-powered salesmanship and then relaxes from his labors by playing the trombone. John secretly plans to buy all the lots from Benny. A ru- mor gets abroad, however, that he has suddenly lost his fortune in a Wall street crash. Having fallen in love, in the meantime, with a girl who insists on marrying a poor man, he allows the rumors to go uncorrected. To make his poverty convinc- ing, he takes the position of clerk at the hotel where he is staying. Complications begin to arise, multiplied by Uncle Abner, the hotel guests, and Benny's trombone. But, at the right time John rises above his diiiculties, puts his house in order, marries his girl, and buys Abner's cemetery on his own terms. The play ends gloriously for everybody. fy QRLSSQLSNE 1Xff.J'W-isfift:.fl 4 .gi 2 8 xlsfls-fi 'Y3:1:fs1,Hfff:rf15'g5':g1 Page 79 1 1 f 1 K , l 1 U' oi .yi V.

'L SYNOPSIS OF PLAY The story of The Patsy concerns Patricia Harrington, a girl who f. runs second to her older sister. She is the patsy who is blamed if whenever anything goes wrong, and is forced to remain in the background in order that her sister may be presented to advantage. Her father, a I traveling salesman for a Wholesale grocery concern, is on her side, and rm finally declares his independence by putting Ma in her proper place. One 4 evening, when Tony called to see Grace, who had just left with Billy ll Caldwell, Patricia tells Tony all about the young man whom she would like to win. So Tony agrees to help her, not realizing that he is the very ,J person about whom she has been scheming. Many interesting events follow, which bring about Patricias ultimate triumph, and, needless to say, Y' affords her happiness as the bride of the man she loves. if This comedy which is considered one of the prettiest and most popular P of plays of the past few years, was presented by the Class of 1928 in the .1 School Auditorium, May the tenth and eleventh.

COACH LIVINGSTON Mr. Livingston came to Convoy as Coach in 1925 and turned out a team that made the best record in the football history of Tully-Convoy, this team being undefeated and holding its opponents scoreless. In 1926 Coach Livingston again turned out a cham- pion team, losing only two games in the en- tire season. This year he did not have the material that he had the year before but when the season closed he had a team to be proud of. CAPTAIN DAULER Doyt proved a very fine captain this year, leading his team in example by keeping train- ing rules and cooperating with Coach Liv- ingston. Doyt received four letters for his work in football. He played in several games when he was a Freshman but was not given a regular place on the team until he was a Sophomore when he was given the center position on the team which he held the re- maining three years. He never missed a second of any game until this year at Pauld- ing when he was taken out to be saved for the Van Wert game a few days later. How- ard Giessler went in as his substitute. After this game Doyt played fullback in place of Myers who went to center. He was the only four letter man on the team.

A 1-letter man, HOWARD GIESSLER Although Howard was not a tirst team player he was always out to pram-tice and will prove a Very val- uable player for next year's team, as he is only a Junior and has one more year to play. A 1-letter man, JOHN STEELE Jehu. though only a Freshman. played in several games and was a good substitute. He was nearly al- ways out for practice: he will prove a very good player for next year. HAROLD JOSEPH Harold is a Freshman and was al- ways out to practice, playing in sev- eral games as a substitute. He was not afraid to give the first team pravtice in scrimmage and so he will probably play a regular position at guard next year. A 1-letter mau. JOHN SHAFFER John is a very small boy and only a Freshman. He always came out for practice giving a lot of his time to make the team better. He should have three big years ahead of him.
