Most of the responsibility and work in publishing a Year Book rest upon the staff. Each year entirely new and inexperienced Seniors must undertake to publish this record of the year's activities. Thus it is important that the most able members of the class be selected for this purpose. The members of the staff, with an editor from each of the lower classes, were selected by Mr. Shaffer, Miss Benroth, and Miss McCleary. Ability, effort, and scholar- ship are some of the things which were considered in these appointments. Each member of the staff deserves much credit and the highest praise for his un- tiring efforts and co-operation. The staff wishes to thank all who, in any way, have helped to make this 1931 Bellerophon a success, and hopes that it may be a treasured souvenir now and in years to come. 1931 fPagc 1-lj BELLEROPHON N yw:'SBELLERGPHON A ,M , .. , I 1 l..

Mr. Preston was a clerk in a jewelry store, and Mrs. Preston kept boarders to help out. Violet invited Mother's one-time sweetheart, now a millionaire, and his daughter, Conny, for a visit. Mrs. Preston was horrified. Enter- tain the butter king of America in her small place? She must have a butler, and she must have a maid, and she got them. It was so simple. The new butler was a robot, one of those mechanical men, made of this and that and something else. The jewelry store in which Mr. Preston worked was robbed, and Big Jim' Mitchell traced the thief with the spoils to the Preston residence. From here on things began to happen fast and furiously, until the mystery of the forty-thousand dollar jewelry robbery is cleared, and until Conny discovers that the robot is really her old sweetheart, Elliott Bailey. The Automatic Butler was presented by the Senior Class in the Tully-Convoy School Auditorium the evenings of May seventh and eighth, under direction of Miss May Benroth. 9! f Page I 5 I .QQSBELLEROPHON ' JUNIOR CLASS PLAY 1930 UCYCLONE SALLY Characters Effie Varden ..,... ...............,,..., ........

J o hn Shaffer Sally Graham, a charming, vivacious girl who has no use for shirkers such as Jack W'ebster decides to make a man out of him by impersonating Sue Bascom Whom he intends to marry for her money which he has learned she is to inherit. In spite of opposition, led by English Reggie, who is slow at seeing through American jokes, and Vivian, the belle of the countryside, Sally succeeds. As the laughs and thrills accumulate, the climax is reached when Jack finds to his dismay that, instead of courting Sue he has been courting his mortal enemy, Cyclone Sally. The comedy of the play is furnished by the forgetful and dumb Willie who never remembers to Whom he proposes. . This play was presented by the Junior Class in the Tully-Convoy School Auditorium, the evenings of April the tenth and eleventh, under the direction of Miss Margaret Carter, sponsor of the Junior Class. fmsf 1931 I:Pagr: 161 BELLEROPHON S JUNIOR CLASS PLAY 1931 CLARENCE DECIDESH Characfrws Mrs. Davenport fA1H1f Susanj ..........,....... .....,.., E lizabeth Green Mary Ann Lee ..,........,.,,.H.A,,....,.A.,....,,,,A,,,..

To impress Mrs. Dixby Moore, Clarence's mother, Aunt Susan has engaged three gardeners, who immediately fall in love with the attractive nieces. But should Clarence decide which of the three girls he prefers, each of them feels obligated to accept. So, to prevent any proposal they evade him, and attempt to appear unattractive in his presence. He asks each to marry him, but receives no satisfactory answer. The gardeners disappear, and are considered responsible for the missing silverware. After many sobs, a note is found explaining the cause of their disappearance. The girls elope with the gardeners, who prove to'be illustrious men-one, the son of a millionaire, another a painter, and the third, an artist. Aunt Susan is reconciled when she learns the identity of the three mysterious gar- deners, and that they are not thieves, even though they have stolen her three most precious jewels. This play was presented by the Junior Class in the Tully-Convoy School Auditor- ium, the evenings of April the tenth and eleventh, under the direction of Miss Ruth Seitz and Miss Marie Sattler, 1931 Epllgl' I7J 1 MBELLEROPHON.

This year there are sixty-two girls, all interested in one thing-music. Every Tuesday afternoon finds them in their places, ready for their weekly practice. At this time their faces may seem a little tired, but an hour later these same faces have changed into smiling, happy ones. So far this year the girls have sung at the Farmers' Institute, and, with the aid of the Boys' Glee Club, have given two operettas- Polished Pebbles , which was presented early in the school year, and Love Pirates of Hawaii , in March. The main characters in these were: Wanda Springer, Mildred Tracy, Esther Gardner, Betty Dwire, Ernestine Shaffer, Jeanne Long, Ruth Bates, Mary Heymann, and Mary Meads of the girls. Membership in the club has always been an open privilege to the four grades in the High School, and anyone may take advantage of the opportunity presented. Credit is given for faithful service, and all who take part gain some knowledge of music appreciation. The music used this year included two and 'three part songs-light choral numbers written by,Speaks, Mendelssohn, and other well-known artists. Looking back over the year's work, we feel that this has been a successful year. -Kaflavrim' Giessler, Violet O'B'ryar1f wa f mKf 'k 1931 I no Ulagc ISI BELLEROPHON.

BOYS' GLEE CLUB It is easy to see that there is a great future for the Boys' Glee Club of Tully-Convoy High School. Those who are now members realize that it is a privilege to belong to such an organization, and each is trying to interest others, that they, too, may enjoy the beneits of this extra-curricular activity. Membership in the club is an open privilege to the boys of the three upper classes of the high school, and anyone may take advantage of the opportunity. Each Monday afternoon finds the boys ready for practice. This year there are in the club, twenty-one boys, each ready to do his part to make the work of the club success- ful. For regular rehearsals two and three part choral numbers were used. Since there was no County Eisteddfod this year, two operettas, Love Pirates of Hawaii , and Polished Pebbles were presented in its place. The boys who had the principal roles in the former were John Shaffer and Donald Lare, while Paul Long and Clifford Schaadt were the main characters in Polished Pebbles . The Boys' Glee, together with the Girls' Glee Club, furnished music for the Bac- calaureate Service, as has been customary in years past. -Donald Lara' 1931 fPage 191 BELLERDPHON Row Row Row Row Row I-Miss McCleary, Betty Dwire, Avis Crabtree, Esther Gardner, Mary Gunsett, Katherine Giessler, Ruth Terry, Harriet Long.

THE GIRL RESERVE CLUB The Girl Reserve Club is an organization of eager girls who are ready for service , whose slogan is to face life squarely , and whose purpose is to find and give the best . The club has been one of the most active organizations in our High School for'five years. The membership has increased from year to year, there being thirty-nine members this year. The year was opened with the formal initiation of the new members. Before becoming a member each girl was required to memorize the Girl Reserve code, slogan, purpose, and also the Girl Reserve song, Follow the Gleamn. The cabinet this year is composed of the following members: Betty Dwire, presidentg Catherine Jones, vice-president, Hazel Rader, secretary-treasurer, Harriet Long, program chairman, and Ernestinc Shaffer. music chairman. These officers have done much for the success of the club. Under the guidance and help of Miss Sarah Staffclcl, county adviser and Miss Helen McCleary, local sponsor, the club has kept climbing the hill to success. V The programs were carried out in the form of radio announcements. The topics of some of the meetings were: Vagabonds , News Flashes , Real Folks , Dixie and Revolutionary Echoes , and Quaker Girl . These programs were very interesting as well as helpful. Several women who are connected with the Young W0l11CD,S Christian Association came from Van Wert, and gave interesting talks. We also learned many pep songs which every girl loves. The first social event was a wiener roast, then the annual Boy and Girl party. The year was closed with a Mother and Daughter party. These social events were enjoyed by all. We do not spend all our time in social activities, however. At Thanksgiving we filled baskets with food for charity. We also filled a Treasure Chest for foreign children. We, the Senior Girls who are going to leave you this spring, wish the remaining Girl Reserves as much success in the future years as we have had in the past. -Gemwa Bayless. 1931 fPugc 201 4 'BELLEROPHON Row I-Mr. Fliekingcr, Arthur Moscl, Louis Ryan, Ernest Wolfcalc, Hugo Etzler, W'illiam Mohr, Billy Alexander, Roy Bell, Lewis XVise, Harold joseph.

HI-Y CLUB The Hi-Y Club, an organizaton connected through the State Committee with the Hi-Y Clubs of the Young Men's Christian Association of North America, was organized January the nineteenth at Convoy among the upper-classmen. This club consists of twenty-four boys. Late in March, the Installation Service was held. Invitations were sent to the fathers of the boys, in order that they might see for themselves the high stand- ards for which this club stands. The Junior I-Ii-Y was organized about a month later with the Senior Hi-Y in charge of its Installation Service. There were twenty-two boys in this club. The purpose of this organization is to create, maintain, and extend throughout the school and community high standards of Christian character and to bear in mind the slogan of the Hi-Y, namely, Clean Living, Clean Speech, Clean Athletics, Clean Scholar- ship, and Contagious Christian Character. . Considering the late start, much progress has been made by the Hi-Y Club of C. H. S. We are looking forward to a larger membership, and a more successful club next year. -Floyd Mejferd 1931 flbrgr' 2 I If BELLEROPI-ION SOCIAL CALENDAR SENIOR Since Miniature Golf was such a popular game last fall, the Seniors decided that they would like to have a miniature golf party. They met at the schoolhouse and drove to the Teeny Weeny Golf Course in Van Wert. They found the game great sporty and Mr. jameson and Lorenz Reidenbach proved to be the Big Putters of the evening. After playing golf for some time we gathered around a campfire where we roasted wieners and marshmallows, told jokes, and enjoyed the evening informally. Everyone departed at a late hour declaring that this was the best party that the Seniors had ever had, and hoping that it might prove to be the fore-runner of many similar events for the class of 1931. -Hazel Riley JUNIOR On a nice, cool, foggy, damp evening the Juniors held a miniature golf party at the Tiny Tee Course, just west of Van Wert's city limits. No holes-in-one were made, but in spite of all obstacles, all those present enjoyed themselves. Plans had been made to roast marshmallows and Wieners, but because of poor luck in our choice of weather, we went home without refreshments. But we do not regret it greatly now. We just dream of the holes we might have made in par if the weather had been lovely. But what can we expect in October? To the victors belong the spoils . Or at least the winning side in our McCall Magazine contest reaped the benefits of their labors in a party given them by the losers. The theory is that the losers must make up for lost time by working up a successful party in the other side's honor. On I-Iallowe'en night all the Juniors met in the Home Economics room of the schoolhouse. There was a constant audience of Hallowe'en revelers, with first-class seats, around the outside windows. The Juniors had a hard time to make themselves heard above the din of tick-tackers. But at last an attempt at starting contests was successful and the party got under way. It came to a grand climax when they found that M'ss Benroth's Ford was gone. Then when the finale showed the Ford safely returned, and the Juniors full of ice cream and cake, the party broke up and all departed for their homes. -Harrie! Long SOPHOMORE-FRESHMAN On a clear October evening about sixty-five Freshmen and Sophomores and several of the faculty members met at the schoolhouse ready for the annual get-together ten- dered to the incoming Freshmen by the members of the Sophomore Class. At first it was difficult to get the Freshmen to realize that they must go with us to the woods, as many of them seemed to think that they would rather stay at school and play on the slides and the merry-go-round. After a great deal of effort the Sophomores finally persuaded them to get into the waiting cars and go to Turner's Woods, northeast of Convoy. Though the Freshmen seemed quite timid at Hrst, before the evening was over their actions proved that they were quickly becoming acquainted with high school life. After the boys succeeded in making a roaring fire, the committee brought out the wieners and marshmallows, and then the fun began! We are quite sure that no one went away hungry that night. If so, it was not the fault of Herman Bricker and 1 9 3 1 ' .. v':.-fwvc1.f xrm , l:Puge 221 MBELLEROPI-IONsww the rest of the committee. As soon as we were through with this, we gathered around the fire and told jokes and stories. Miss Seitz and Mr. Jameson, our sponsor, were our star entertainers. After joke-telling had grown old, we began to sing songs which were familiar to all of us. It soon grew late, and we had to put out the fire and return to our homes. This was the first party of the year, but we looked forward very eagerly, as we hope the Freshmen did also, to those which were soon to follow. -jermvze Long FOOTBALL Dispensing this year with the football banquet which the Athletic Association usually gives to the members of the football squad, the boys were tendered a splendid dinner by the Home Economics Department of our High School. The girls of the department with the advice and under the guidance of Miss McCleary, prepared a two-course dinner which was served the boys after their return from Antwerp. To say that the dinner was greatly appreciated and that the fellows had a rousing, good time would be expressing it inadequately. POLISHED PEBBLESU One day last November the members of the cast of Polished Pebbles , the first operetta which was given by the music department of our high school, found on their desk, very unique invitations to a party given by Miss Ruth Seitz and Mr. and Mrs. G. E. Glickinger in the home of the latter. After all the guests had assembled the fun began! The evening was spent in playing games and participating in all sorts of contests. Mr. Jameson very deftly showed his skill in the sewing contest and proved to all that he had a great future before him, along those lines. Mr. Eaton displaying great ability along the lines of balancing, made us realize that some day he might be a great vaudeville entertainer. After many other stunts and games, refreshments were served late in the evening, and the guests departed, all declaring that they had spent a most enjoyable evening, and hoping that this would be but the beginning of many more such pleasant get-togethersn. -Esfber Gardner GIRL RESERVE In March the Girl Reserves were so anxious to celebrate St. Patrick's birthday that they even chose Friday, the thirteenth, for their party. Girls can have a party, but it isn't a party without some boys to liven things up a bit. So, after inviting in an equal number of Hi-Y men, they were all set. And what a party it was! The partners found each other by means of riddles. The girl was given a riddle, and the boy the answer to it. Then, after partners were matched, a progressive puzzle game was started. There were thirteen tables, with a puzzle to be solved at each one. Even Einstein could not have found the answers to all the puzzles at each table in five minutes. And by the way, Mr. Flickinger won the prize! The next number on the program was a millinery contest. With four pins, a yard of green and a strip of white crepe paper each boy made his girl a spring bonnet, using the latest styles from Paris. And last, but not least, Old Man Ice Cream and his Mouth-Watering Wafers put in an appearance which brought much applause. You ask the result of this party? Everyone went home late, but happy , is the answer. --Harriet Long fPagz' 2 5 rl BELLEROPHON JUNIOR-SENIOR BANQUET On the evening of May 16, 1930, the members of the Junior and Senior Classes, the Board ot Education, and the Faculty arrived at the schoolhouse. It was the evening of the most important social event of the year-the annual Junior-Senior Banquet. The two very attentive butlers, Ward McDaniel and Marlin Kilgore, greeted the guests at the door and accompanied them to the reception room which was furnished with an overstuifed suite, lamps, tables, and flowers. At seven o'clock the guests filed into the gymnasium where the ban- quet was to be held. What had happened to our gymnasium? It was decorated with lattice work trimmed with wistaria and moss of different colors. The Senior colors, orchid and green, and the Junior colors, violet and maize, were used in the color scheme. There were four people at each table. The table decorations were carried out in the colors of both the Juniors and Seniors. As the theme of the evening was Gates,', the program followed this subject. The Gates were locked, and, when opened, displayed the program and menu for the evening. The favors were large and small corsages of flowers with place cards attached. Thewaitresses were chosen from the Sophomore Class, the head waitress being Harriet Lorrg. ' Music was furnished by an Orthophonic Victrola. After a delicious three-course dinner was served, the Junior Class presented the following program: Welcome ms ------- , ---, W, ,.,....,.,, Mildred TISQCY Response -.--,,,,,,,,,,,,,., ,,.,,.,,........

JAMESON- jamie Coach There is not a fellow on our football squad who will ever forget the words of Coach Jameson, when you hit a man, make him feel it . Although his team was not so successful in winning games, he was build- ing up a team for the future. He instilled into the fellows a friendly attitude and good, clean, moral sportsmanship. We hope that Jamie's years of coaching for Convoy High School will be many and successful. JOHN SHAFFER- f0lo1mie Captain and Quarterback Although the inexperienced team of Convoy High School was not so very successful, his pep and fighting spirit made Johnnie a success- ful Quarterback and Captain. Whether the breaks were for his team or his opponents, John always kept his team-mates full of pep by never giving up himself. John was a good blocker, tackler, and one of the best open field runners Convoy has ever had, earning his fourth letter this year in the service of football. John will be greatly missed by his team-mates next year. LOWELL HOELLE- Hoelle Manager Hoelle was the squad's handy-man. All season he took care of the equipment and assisted the fellows in a commendable manner. His cheerful attitude and his unceasing pranks helped topkeep the squad in a cheerful disposition. 1931 fPagr' 271 'v van :Ju li ' -wmv- PJQTM. LORENZ REIDENBACH- Rc'idy Left Half Back Reidy , a smashing tackle, was a mainstay in our forward wall last season, but this year he was shifted to the .back- field Where he became an excellent line plunger. MARLEN MUNTZINGER- M1mfz Right Tackle The harder they come, the harder they fall was the motto of Muntz , who was a hard sure tackler. He is a two- letter man, and we are sorry that he will not be with the squad next year. LEONARD IMEL- I-mel Left Tackle This was Leonard's first and last year of football. He played in most of the games, and was always willing to do his very best. DONALD LARE- Don Right Guard Donald surely proved to be a good guard, opening holes in his opponents' line through which the Convoy High backs made long gains. XVARD MCDANIISL- Mark Right End Mack showed his opponents what it meant for a team to have a good punter, and also that he was a handy fellow for opening holes for off-tackle plays. FLOYD SHOWALTER- Sh01ualier Guard and Tackle Small but mighty was Floyd when he played on the lineg although not a regu- lar player he participated in every game. He is a one-letter man. wmfmff 1931 KPIIAQI' 2 S1 BELLEROPHON 'wfdnes -AM REX HANLEY- Rex Full Back This year was Rex's f1rst experience in the backfield, but he developed into a hard hitting back and gained many yards through his opponents' line. He still has another year in high school. GAIL MOHR- Mohr Center Although Gail was not very heavy, he always took care of his man. Gail earned his second letter this season and, being only a Junior, we are glad he will be with us again next year. XYf'lLLlAM MOHR- Bill Right Half Back Bill was the smallest man in the back- Held but he played a big part on the re- ceiving end of our passing attack. Wfe expect Bill to shine for C.H.S. during the next three years. MARLIN KILGORE- Killy Left End Kil1y', was a hard hitting lineman who was feared by his opponents. He played his best against Rockford, getting many tackles. We are glad he has another year with Convoy High School. MAURICE POLING- Maury Left Guard Small and inexperienced, Maurice turned out to be one of the Strongest linemen on the team. Being only a Freshman, he should go great in the next three years. BILLY ALEXANDER- Bill Guard Bill was not on the first team but was a regular substitute, always on hand and ready to help the squad as much as he could. f wwf Nsmwf-xmfim-Nina! f 1 9 1 awww!

Q 45 DARWIN C. EATON-- Coach This was the second year we have had Coach Eaton with us. His interest and friendliness among the girls have been a great help in the development of our girls' teams. Mr. Eaton was always willing and ready to help the reserves as well as the regulars. By his persistent efforts and untiring patience he taught us many new passes which helped to make our team what it was. Half of the success of our team goes to our coach. We hope that this will not be Mr. Eaton's last year as coach of the girl's teams of Con- voy High School. HELEN BRICKER-F0r'wm'd and Cclpfain 4-letter girl Helen was one of our most valuable players. She was never tired or lagging but always full of pep and ready to fight until the finish. We are very sorry this is Helen's last year with us and we feel she justly deserves the title of Honorary Captain which was given her by her fellow players. MILDRED TRACY-1i'orwcz1'cf and Captaizz 4-letter girl Mildred proved to be a real forward, although we could also depend upon her as guard when needed. Mildred has been a veteran on our team and she will be greatly missed next year. Mildred was also elected one of the Honorary Captains by her team-mates at the close of the season. BETTY DWIRE-Side Cfllffl' 2-letter girl Betty played her position as side center excellently. She could always be depended upon to get the tip-off. Betty was always full of pep and always fought to the last. She will be missed on next year's team. meQigfsm'Q'0L 1931 If Pugr' 3 I :I W 'NAP -f- BELLEROPHON CATHERINE JONES-Guard 1-letter girl Catherine was an exceptionally good guard. She was justly rewarded for her fine playing when she was selected as guard on the County All Star Team by the tourna- ment officials. We are sorry this is her last year with the team. ALTI-IA ARNISTRONG-Gilarrf 1-letter girl Altha was not only a good guard but also a good sport. She was always ready and willing to do her share whenever called upon. She cheered her team-mates many times when they needed it. Alrha will be missed next year. ELIZABETH GREEN-Ccfnfer 2-letter girl As much of the success of any team de- pends upon getting the tip-off Elizabeth could always be relied upon to do her best against her opponent. She was always a good sport, untiring in her efforts, and never complaining about the team. XVe are glad Elizabeth has another year in which to show her skill. ELIZABETH MOLLENKOPF-Guard 1-letter girl Although this was Elizabeth's first year of basketball she made the team as guard. She could always be depended upon to get the ball and keep it going. Elizabeth has one more year with the team, and we wish her much good luck next year. NINA HARTSOCK-Forwmvl 1-letter girl Nina will be remembered for her foul shooting. She was very accurate on her shots and rarely missed one. She could always be depended upon to do her share. This is Nina,s last year with the team. JEANNE LONG-Forwura' 1-letter girl Although Jeanne is only a Sophomore, she was regarded as one of the squad. She en- couraged the team and was always there to help back it. Jeanne has two more years in Convoy High School. Wwfwmf 'td' anti? 1931 P qc 323 BELLEROPHON VAN WERT COUNTY TOURNAMENT GIRLS The Convoy girls played Willshire in the first session of the tournament, Feb- ruary the twenty-seventh, in the Van XVert School Gymnasium. Convoy got the tip-off and made the Hrst several baskets. This took Willshire off their feet making it hard for them to find the basket. With Convoy hitting the loop in ine style the score at the half was 24-4. This gave all subs a chance to play. Our second team held their first team exceptionally well. Neither side scored many points from the foul line, and the game ended 32-15. In the first game of the semi-finals our girls met the Ridge team who had de- feated Middle Point the previous day. The first tip-off was taken by Ridge. Although they did not make a basket immediately they did make the first basket. Neither team scored much during the first quarter, the score being 4-6. With Ridge having the ball the greater part of the time and our guards playing with a lot of vitality, little was ac- complished the second quarter. The half ended 8-14 in favor of Ridge. The girls came back the last half with more pep, tying the score several times. The score was 16 all with one minute to go, and as luck seemed to be against our girls, Ridge made the winning basket. When the final whistle blew the score was 16-18. Although Ridge was victorious they had to PLUS up a real fight, but the loss of this game kept our girls from entering the finals. BOYS The Convoy boys played their first game of the Tournament when they met Union in the second session Friday evening, February the twenty-seventh. The locals started the scoring a few minutes after the opening whistle, and were never in danger at any time during the remainder of the game. Using a slow, deliberate offense the Convoy boys found many weaknesses in the Union defense but missed many easy sucker shots. The end of the first half found the locals with a comfortable lead as Union had been unable to penetrate the Convoy edfense for a single field goal. In the second half playing in general was a little more even. The Union boys connected twice from the field with long shots and the locals, conserving their energy, used a stalling offense and made few attempts to score. The final score stood 16-10 in favor of the locals. In the semi-finals the next morning the Convoy lads met Middle Point. The locals surprised everybody by quickly scoring and stacking up a seven-point lead before Middle Point scored from the foul line. The locals were leading 14-6 at the half. In the second half Middle Point, after unsuccessfully trying to work through Convoy's defense, resorted to long shots and connected with the basket with surprising accuracy. At the end of the third quarter the locals held a slim four-point lead. Middle Point continued to connect with long shots in the last period, and the locals were trailing 18-22 at the final gun, this being the first time in five years that Convoy did not play in the finals. WINNERS IN THE VAN WERT COUNTY CAGE CLASSICS Back in 1920 the Hrst Van Wert County Basketball Tournament was held. It was played in one day at the Y.M.C.A., with Hve teams entered. Rockford, Convoy, Ridge, Union and Ohio City sent teams to the meet that has been an annual event ever since. Credit for the first tournament goes to the management of the Y.M.C.A., its sponsor. The winners of the eleven tournaments follow: Boys: 1920, no trophy awarded, 1921 Ridge, 1922 Convoy, 1923 Ridge, 1924 Rockford, 1925 Union, 1926 Convoy, 1927 Convoy, 1928 Convoy, 1929 Convoy, 1930 Convoy, 1931 York.

JAMESON- 1amie', Coach Starting with an inexperienced group and being hampered by the hard luck jinx that followed the squad all season Jamie had a difhcult task before him. Although this year's team was not so fortunate in the way of victories, the boys showed steady improvement, in spite of their handicaps, due to Jamie's Constant stress on fundamentals. Jamie's surprising accomplisments this year were partly due to his friendly at- titude toward the fellows and their co-operation with him. ARTHUR MOSEL- Aff Manager This year was Art's first experience as manager, but he proved to be an excellent one. His co-operation with the fellows and his friendly good-will toward Jamie and the team was a great factor in making this season a successful one. JOHN SHAFFER- f0fa1mie Captain and Guard Johnnie , who was selected guard on the County All-Star Teamv by the tournament officials, was Captain this season, and because of his lighting spirit and friendly disposition he proved a most capable one. John always played a cool defensive game and a steady offensive one, being high scorer for the season. He earned his third basketball letter this year, and We are sorry to say that he graduates this spring. If Pngz' 3 5 J f- WXWQBELLEROPHONRMQQQ GAII.

LORENZ REIDENBACH- Reilly Guard Reldy broke into the first team line-up at the last of the season and his defensive work in the Monroeville gme, and at the County Tournament was little short of mar- velous. MARLIN KILGORE- Killy Forward Killy,s beautiful long shots in the Pauld- ing game will be a pleasant memory to local fans for seasons to come. He was an excel- lent defensive forward and next year he should star. REINHARD ETZLER- Rainy Center In spite of his size and lack of experience Reiny developed into a very good center. He was good not only on the defense but also on the offense. We are glad that he will return next year.

He should have three big years before him, as he has already proved his ability on the basketball Collrt.

RESUME QF GAMES The Red and White teams opened the season with victories over both girls' and boys, teams of Wren High, the girls winning by the score of 29-24, and the boys nosing out the Green and White 20-18. The following week the Convoy girls defeated the Grover Hill girls by the score of 29-9. In a slow, uninteresting game the Convoy boys gave the Grover Hill lads a 29-5 drubbing. The Convoy boys met their hrst defeat of the season when they were downed by the powerful Hoosier team of Monroeville. The final score found the locals trailing 7-27. The locals' zone defense functioned perfectly but their offense was slow and ragged. Playing excellent team work, the Convoy girls stowed away another victory by de- feating York 29-19. The Convoy boys, displaying surprising strength for three quar- ters, weakened in the fourth period to give the York boys a 16-33 victory. In a rough and tumble battle the Convoy girls continued their winning streak by handing the Middle Point scxtet their hrst defeat of the season with the score of 17-15. In a game somewhat s'milar in its roughness the Convoy boys received an unexpected defeat, the Middle Point cagers carrying away the honors with a 19-28 score. Paulding proved too much for the Convoy girls when they defeated them by the score of 27-32. The Convoy boys came back in the winning column, downing the Paulding boys to the tune of 18-14. The game was close throughout, the locals forging ahead in the last few minutes. In a mid-week game the Convoy lassies for the second time defeated Grover Hill, the score being 31-14. The Convoy Reserves lost to the Grover Hill boys by the score of 18-14. The following Friday night the C.I'I.S. boys were handed a 21-12 defeat by Delphos High on the latter's floor. In a great defensive battle Van Wert defeated the local boys 1-16. The Reserves from the little city downed the Convoy Seconds by a large margin. The Convoy girls met their second defeat when Ohio City outscored them in a 38-32 victory. The Convoy boys also lost as the scrappy Ohio City boys left them the short end of a 14-41 score. .A York proved aneasy victim, the Convoy girls defeating them 21-35. Being out- scored in the second half, the York boys were pushed to the limit to defeat the locals with a 16-22 score. The Red and White girls again defeated Wfren, the score being 8-28. The dope bucket was not only upset but smashed when the C.H.S. boys gave Wren the little end of a 14-12 score. The locals put the game on ice when they scored four points in the last minute of play. Many reserves saw action when Convoy girls decisively defeated Hoaglin-Jackson. Being unable to penetrate the locals' defense the Hoaglin-Jackson boys had to be content with S points while the locals scored 23. Convoy journeyed to Paulding, where the local girls lost by the score of 26-39. The Convoy boys, again proving too much for Paulding, won by the score of 24-21. The locals showed more offensive punch in this game than in any game thus far this season. In a game that resembled football, Convoy was handed a defeat by Van Wert that will long be remembered, the Van Wert boys winning 8-29. Rex Hanley and Gail Mohr received injuries that forced them to the side-lines for the remainder of the season. The local Reserves were badly trounced by the Van Wert Seconds. The Convoy girls finished their schedule by easily downing the girls of Pleasant Mills, Indiana, the final score being 8-47. Monroeville boys, one of the strongest teams in Northeastern Indiana, were extended to the limit to nose out a 13-18 victory over the locals in the final game of the season. ff wa-a,...Nv.,-.if-- A -r-' 1 9 3 1 I:Pagr' 371 BELLEROPHON he f' INTER-CLASS TOURNAMENT It was 3:00 P. M. on Tuesday afternoon March the tenth when we heard the whistle blow for the first round of the Incer-Class Tournament. The Eighth Grade and Junior boys played the opening game at this time. The Eighth Grade team was full of pep, and they gave the Juniors a hard battle. The half ended 3-1. In the second half the Juniors started hitting the rim and the Eighth Grade boys, who were much smaller, lost by a 15-4 count. The first game Tuesday evening was played between the Freshmen and Junior girls. This game turned out to be a one-sided affair. The Juniors were in the lead all during the game and held the Freshmen scoreless until the final quarter when they scored two free throws, the game ending 19-2. The next game between the Sophomore and Senior boys was the big event of the semi-finals. The Sophomores were determined to beat the Seniors, and at one time held a 4-0 lead. This did not last long as the Seniors' offense began functioning and they had no trouble in handing the Sophomores a 41-14 defeat. The next battle of the evening between the Sophomore and Senior girls was the Seniors' from the very beginning. The Sophomores put up a real battle, but the Seniors proved too much for them. The Seniors held a 16-29 lead at the end of the game, this giving them the right to enter the finals and play the Junior girls. The final game of the semi-finals was played between the Freshman and Junior boys. Since the Freshman boys drew the bye it was their first game of the day, while the Juniors had already played one game. This contest proved to be rather slow, but interesting from start to finish. Although the Juniors won by a 10-point margin, the game was played on even terms the Hrst three playing periods. The Freshman boys held an 8-5 lead at the half, but in the fourth quarter the Junior boys started getting hot and gave the Freshmen the short end of 21-11 score. This gave them the right to meet the Senior boys in the finals on Thursday night, March the twelfth. The Seventh and Eighth grade boys started the finals by playing a fast preliminary game. The Seventh grade boys came on the floor full of pep and played the Eighth grade boys on even terms during the first half. In the second half the Eighth Grade played a better brand of ball, and when the gun cracked they had a 9-17 victory over the Seventh Grade. The next big event of the evening was between the Junior and Senior girls. Although the Seniors held the lead throughout the entire game, the Juniors kept them moving all the time. In the second half it seemed more like a football game but when the final whistle blew the Juniors found themselves trailing at the heels of the Seniors by the score of 19-11. The big excitment came between the girls' and boys' games when The Famous Senior Band under the direction of Drum Major Heymann, and the Senior team, The Big Shots , paraded the gym. This was an event no one will ever forget. The final game which followed the parade was a very interesting game. The first quarter was very close, but after this it was The Big Shots' game. The half ended 11-S. In the second half the Seniors scored 8 points to the Juniors 4, the Seniors win- ning by the score of 19-9. The officials of the tournament, Coaches Eaton and Jameson, presented the two small loving cups to Captains Tracy and Shaffer for having the winning teams of the tournament. These trophies will be placed in the trophy case and will be competed for again next year. 1931 fPage 381 XXX' Who-o-0? Who-o-o? Convoy High School! V i Q QQ 'L ' ,iifd Rah! Rah! Rah!

In this respect the members of the Board of Education have proved themselves not only loyal but very efficient. We feel that the successful Work of the Tully-Convoy School has been, in great measure, due to the interest manifested by the members of ch Board, who have given generously and unselfishly of their time, so that we might have the best educational advantages possible. This year the Board is made up of Mr. Wilson Freck, president, Mr. Otto Hertz, clerk, Mr. Walter Hiltong Mr. Floyd Mollenkopfg and Mr. Roy Shearer. We Wish that our Board of Education might know how much We appreciate the results of their long and undoubtedly often tiresome hours of deliberation, and that they might feel that they have not labored in vain. 1931mmfQ fPnge 46 I This school year will long be re- membered as a mosi' auspicious one, due in no small measure fo 'Hue faci' fha? all classes have co- oparafed mosi' heariily in making every acfivify a success. L V CLASSES Q91-N.4.we-SQSSCLQQQMBELLEROPHONFZQOMQE SENIOR CLASS HISTORY On Monday morning in the second week of September, 1927, fifty-three boys and girls, who were destined to compose the renowned class of nineteen thirty-one, first sat side by side in the assembly of the Tully-Convoy High School. One of our first privileges was to organize our class Miss He th h . a was c osen as class sponsor. We elected Betty Dwire, president, Frederick Foley, vice-president, and H l ' e en Bricker, secretary-treasurer. Many of our classmates were deeply mortified the first several days when they found themselves in the wrong class room. We were green but not evergreen. ' Already during our first year the appeal for activities was strong. John Shaffer and Harold Joseph received letters in football while Helen Bricker and Mildred Tracy ob- tained them in basketball. Our class was also represented in all lines of musical t' ' ac ivity. We ended our first year of high school with an enoyable outing at Edgewater Park, Celina. The second year was, in the main, like unto the first Each consisted of b . a out one hundred and seventy-five days. Forty-three pupils came back to learn more about hi h school lif . Th' f ' ' g e IS year vie had Mr. Linvingston as class sponsor, Floyd Mefferd, president, Marlen Muntzinger, vice-president, and Arthur Mosel, secretar -treasurer. Y We again took part in all athletics and activit'es. This year we added Hy Davis to our list of lett . O l ' e ' er men ur c ass was represented in the Glee Clubs, Girl Reserve Club, County Eisteddfod, and on the debating team. After nine months in the Sophomore Class, we ended the year with an outing at Triers' Park, Fort Wayne. With increased wisdom and stature, we entered the third year of hi h sch l. Al- g oo though some of our original fifty-three were dropping off right along, it was not until our Junior e h h b' ' ' ' ' y ar t at t e ig slash in our ranks occurred. Instead of going to class in two sections as we did in former years, we were fused into one section composed of twenty-seven members. This year we organized under the leadership of Miss Carter Mildred Trac was l - Y e ected president, Clarence Friedly, vice-president, and Norma Bollenbacher, secretary- treasurer. We sold Jello, McCall magazines, and many other things in order to make money for the Junior-Senior banquet which is an annual event Again we took part in athletics adding new names to the list of classmates wearing KK I I, ' Cs . The n f ew vsearers were Lorenz Reidenbach, Donald Lare, Marlen Muntzinger, and Betty Dwire. One of the greatest events of the year was Cyclone Sally , a three act comedy given by the class in April of our Junior year. Thus ended our third year in high school which was one of the most profitable of our high school career. As Juniors, the Senior year seemed to us a paradise, but when at length we landed at h' l 7 t is ong-hoped-for port, we found that it was not any different from any other ear. Y We organized under the leadership of Miss Benroth. Iohn Shaffer was chosen presi- dent, L R 'd b ' - ' ' orenz ei en ach, vice pres dent, and Norma Bollenbacher, secretary-treasurer. This year saw us again taking part in all lines of activities After the Count . . y Tournament an Inter-Class Tournament was held in which the Seniors took all honors C th ' a erme Jones, Altha Armstrong, Nina Hartsock, Floyd Showalter, and Leonard Imel were the new wearers of the C , The twogreatest events of the year were the Senior Class play and the Commence- ment Exercises. We regret that the time has come when we will no longer meet as school-mates of Tully-Convoy High School, but nevertheless we hope that we may meet often in the future. -Marlen Mzmtzinger f..wrNsv... 1-...r if I 9 3 fum fPagf 481 wmfwvcf -, BELLEROPI-ION JOHN SHAFFER Bellerophon Staff 45 Class Officer 4g Boys' Glee 2, 3, 45 Mixed Chorus 2, 3, 45 Hi-Y 4g Football 1, 2, 3, 4, fCap- tain 3, 4jg Basketball 1, 2, 3, 4, QCap- tain 41, Red and White 1, Student Athletic Manager 2, Orchestra 1, 2, 3, 45 Cyclone Sally 3.

YdN,,,,f',,,,'iLI 4 W ' 1931 I: Page 5 3 I BELLEROPHON,qQftQ2Q JUNIOR CLASS HISTORY When the tide ebbed it left on the beach of Convoy High a greenish colored mass composed of fifty-four poor fish called Freshmen, 1928 . They elected Hazel Rader, queen-fish, with Ward McDan'el, first assistant, Elizabeth Mollenkopf, keeper of the class treasure, and Rex Hanley, news reporter at class meetings. The little fish weren't so slow as the big fry thought they were. Three of them went out for football, and one, Ward McDaniel, made the basketball squad. The first social event was a steak roast on the beach at Turner's woods. Only the steak turned out to be plain wieners and marshmallows. The Sophomores, bigger fish , tried to pull some stunts on the greenies and duck them, but the little ones were too quick. The next party was given I-Iallowe'en night. They came dressed as ghosts, witches, and all sorts of unearthly things. In February the class got stuck up and gave a taffy-pull which resulted in some burned finger-tips and sore tongues. The latter affected the girls exceedingly. The class finished the year at the German picnic grounds. Then-vacation! But how quickly the summer months pass for a school of playful fish. The first thing they did after entering the Portals of Learning was to elect Rex Hanley, president, Gail Mohr, assistant figure-head, and Clifford Schaadt, secretary-treasurer. They had learned that carrying the money of this class would not wear out the pockets of the treasurer. Now the larger fish, longing for some froth, invited the Freshmen to a party in the woods. A race in telling Hsh stories was staged between Mr. Jameson and Mr. McCleary. The orations were delivered from logs which had been pulled up to the fire by some of the boys. Maybe it was some of these who later made the football squad, because four fellows, Ward McDaniel, Marlin Kilgore, Gail Mohr, and Rex Hanley, received letters. Two fellows, Gail Mohr and XVard McDaniel, and a girl, Elizabeth Greene, earned basketball letters. - Instead of noticing only themselves, the bigger fish decided to notice Washing- ton and Lincoln. Thoughts of these two men made every fish want to swim better in this Ocean of Life. The last Wednesday of the school year the Sophomores went to the show, Vagabond King . Taking the show as a hint, all the fish turned vagabonds for three months. The next September Rex Hanley was elected president, Marlin Kilgore, vice-presi- dentg and Hazel Rader, secretary-treasurer. They had a bake sale, sold Jello, collected subscriptions for McCall's Magazine, and sold candy and sandwiches at games. They did practically everything but scrub sidewalks wit-h a toothbrush. After the Thanksgiving program, the tournaments and class play kept the Junior fish busy. Yet they will regret it greatly when they have to swim out of the protected harbor into the open sea. -Harriet Long 1931 f Page 5 41 Row Row R0 zu R0 zu Row JUNIOR CLASS RGLL I-Miss Sattler, sponsor, Arthur Mosel, Wilma Backhus, Ernest Wolfcale, Fortress Poling, Mervil Rhoacles, Pauline Cox, Rex Hanley.

Of course the first thing in order was to organize. With Mr. McCleary as sponsor, we met and elected Daniel Pugh, presidentg James Baker, vice-presidentg and Herman Bricker, secretary-treasurer. We were initiated into the activities of the school at the Freshman-Sophomore wiener roast. If this party was any indication of the good times that were to follow, it made us look forward joyously to the coming four years. The Class of '33 made a fine start as we were represented in nearly every activity. Daniel Pugh and Floyd Greulach were on the football squad, and Ernestine Shaffer and Jeanne Long represented us in girls' basketball. A great many of our class took part in the High School operetta, l'Princess Chrysanthemum . Also many of our girls were members of the Girl Reserve and Girls' Glee Clubs, while some of our boys were admitted to the Boys' Glee Club. Still others took part in the High School Oratorical Contest. The Freshman Arbor Day program was likewise an outstanding event in the first year of our high school career. During the year there were five withdrawals and one entrant. In all, our Fresh- man year was a happy one full of fun and hard studying. Thirty-three of the old group re-entered in the fall of 1930 as Sophomores. The year had added much to the dignity of many members of the class, for no longer did we seem so verdant. We could notice quite a difference in the attitude of the upper classmen toward us. Our opinion had more weight with them now. Our class met with Mr. Jameson, our sponsor, and for our officers we elected Jeanne Long, president, Lowell Hoelle, vice-president, and Herman Bricker, secretary-treasurer. Ourifirst social event was a wiener roast which we gave in honor of the Freshmen, who at that time were feeling about as inconspicuous as we had felt last year. A few of our group excelled in athletics. Billy Alexander represented us on the football squad, and Lowell Hoelle was elected student manager of this group. Jeanne Long represented us in girls' basketball, and Lowell Hoelle and Kermit Weisman held up our record in boys' basketball. Again this year many of us took a great interest in music. Our class .gave a very good demonstration of its dramatic ability in a presentation of The Taming of the Shrew which we gave in chapel. This year it befell us to pay tribute to George Washington and Abraham Lincoln in a program given on February the twentieth. The main feature of this program was a playlet, The Wrong George Washington , in which many members of the class again displayed their aptitude for impersonating. And now the second year of our high school career draws to a close. We look back upon this short year with mingled feelings of happiness and regret. The successes of this year mean much to us but not more than the failures, for we are resolved to make these the stepping-stones to better work and higher aspirations for theiremaining years of our school life. , -Jeanne Long 1931 fPugv 561 mmQ 1931 MBELLEROPHQN l SOPHOMORE CLASS RGLL Row I-Mr. Jameson, sponsor, Eleanor Freck, Kermit Weisman, Helen Fortney, Carl Feasby, Berniece Hilton, Harold Greulach, Mae Smith.

When two of our class fell by the wayside in our journey, we were were very glad to welcome two more to our ranks. ' We were like most green Freshies . After walking about the school several times trying to appear dignified, we finally found the class-room which we were expected to occupy that period. In spite of all these blunders we soon gained the respect of the upper classmen. Our class was well-represented in athletics. We feel very proud of these students who have contributed to the success of our class.. Many members of the class were out for the different sports but did not receive suits. Those who held positions on the football team were William Mohr and Maurice Poling, while those on the basketball teams were William Mohr, John Miller, and Evelyn Hagerty. The Freshman-Sophomore party was held at Turner's woods. This was the biggest social event of the year for the Freshmen. Louise Black, Evelyn Hagerty, Ruth Bates, Mary Gunsett, Ruth Terry, Marybelle Davis, Velma Hertz, Grace Martin, and Alice Trego joined the Girl Reserves. Many girls were members of the Girls' Glee while some boys joined the Boys' Glee and Hi-Y Clubs, the latter an organization introduced recently into Convoy High School. Ruth Bates, Louise Black, Grace Martin, and Paul Long took part in the operetta,. Polished Pebbles , which was given by the Music Department, The members of our class gave a Temperance Program. It was unique and taught us the meaning of Temperance . It was presented twice, the first time to the High School students and later to the grade pupils. Members of our class took part in a number of chapel programs. V'e gave dramatizations of Rip Van Winkle and Silas Marnern. Under the guidance of Mr. Flickinger, our sponsor, we took charge of the Arbor Day Program. This year has been a successful one in every way because of our teachers and the way in which the Freshmen co-operated. We are looking forward with pleasure to three more years in Convoy High School. -Maryhcfllc Davis 1931 fprlgt' 581 HBELLEROPI-ION FRESHMAN CLASS ROLL Row I-Mr. Flickinger, sponsor, Norma Etzler, Dimond Paxson, Ruth Rummel, Maurice Poling, Marie Pancake, Karl Schmidt, Evelyn Hagerty.

Several members of our class participated in a Chapel program. At Thanksgiving We, with the Eighth Grade, gave a program, consisting of songs, readings about Thanksgiving festivities of early times, and a playlet, Thanksgiving Past and Present . In Bible Study at Christmas time, some of us made booklets composed of stories, poems, songs, customs, pictures, and the origin of Christmas while others made posters. Some of these will be entered in the National Bible Displayu to be held in Chicago this year. We took part in the Farmers' Institute by making posters and giving a little stunt at one of the sessions. We have heard several radio talks on subjects of Art, Civics, and Geography. These have helped to make our Work more interesting and helpful. iWe, the Seventh Grade, owe much of our success to our teachers during this school year. -The Seventh Grade. 1931 l:Pagr 61 I SQLYBELLEROPHON WARD CLAY MCDANIEL 1 Born-December 21, 1913 Died-january 1, 1931 Zin fllivmnriam MAURICE CLA111 KREISCHER Born--January 2 S , 191 5 Died-January 1, 1931 1931 I1Pagz' 621 Q ' my , Z' -Ji M Cm lnasm I1 h f Il ' mer- chanfs 'f ' have 1 aided ' a W especi ll ' h 'F ' 'F h' Bellero h 'F I I1 ' furn. h ' lm , every ' . 1J V FEATURES AND ADVERTISEMENTS E 1 vef:BELLEROPHONa-env Sept.

A good husband makes a good wife. A handful of life is better than a bushel of learning. A good archer is 110t known by his arrows, but by his arm. An ounce of practice is worth a pound of preaching. Brevity is the soul of wit. Fate leads the willing but drives the stubborn. Men's words are even bolder than their deeds. A fault confessed is a new virtue added to a man. None are so fond of secrets as those who do not mean to keep them. They can conquer who believe they can. Some men are known by their deeds, others, by their mortgages. The fellow who tries only to look on won't have a look-in. Success depends upon back-bone, not wish-bone. American ends in I canf, A wise man never blows his knows. Q Life is short-too short to get everything. Choose you must and as you choose, choose only the best-in friends, in books, in recreation, in everything. Miss Benroth: Marlen, what is a pol-y-gon? Marlen Muntzinger fafter some hesitationj: A dead parrot. JUST S0 Little Johnny- Daddy is today tomorrow?', Daddy- Certainly it isn't. Little Johnny- But you said it was. Daddy- When did I ever say today was tomorrow? Daddy- Well, today was tomorrow yesterday but today is today ust as yesterday was today yesterday, but yesterday is today and tomorrow will be today tomorrow which makes today yesterday and tomorrow all at once. Now run along and play. TI-IE SECRET OF SUCCESS What is the secret of success? asked the Sphinx. Push, said the button. zz me Never be lead, said the pencil. Always rake pains, said the window. Always keep cool, said the ice. Be up-to-date, said the calendar. Never lose your head, said the match. u Make light of your troubles, said the fire. If this 1931 Bellerophon rattles when you shake it, it is because it contains a picture of Miss Benroth's Ford. wybnaxgff, ai 9 3 1 fPugc 821 BELLEROPHCNHHQY2 ALUMNI 1887-A. B. CHRISTY, Supt.
