The 1938 73ellerophon is presented by the eflnnual Staff of Convoy High School with the hope that it will come to mean even more as the years pass. We have endeavored to present not only an adequate picture of our high school life but, realizing the problems confronting the world today, we also pledge our best to our community, our nation, and to the world in general. : 'Y' ' if ax l lf' ,.

THERON MILLER ED I TO R I A L An Anniversary It is quite proper and Htting in this 150th anniversary year of the founding of the first settlement in the North West Territory at Marietta, Ohio, that we recall the famous document known as the Ordinance of 1787 and the provisions made in it for education. The authors of this great document indeed planned wisely and gave to us of this vast terri- tory a legacy for which we should be most thankful. If the framers of this plan of government could foresee the impor- tance of public education one hundred and fifty years ago to impel them to write, Religion, morality, and knowledge being necessary to good gov- ernment and the happiness of mankind, schools and the means of educa- tion shall be forever encouraged, should we of today not see more clearly its importance? Think, if you will, of the many things that have transpired during these past one hundred and fifty years. Education, in those pioneer days, was quite elementary and the gates to but few vocations, if any, were closed because of a lack of education. True, there were not many voca- tions in those early days, but they have been multiplied many times to this day and the doors to almost all are forever barred to any person who does not have a fairly good secondary or high school education. For this reason every boy and girl of these days should consider well their opportunities for getting an education and endeavor to make the most of them. C. G. LEITER, Superintendent. i'M ?l '4- K 5 4- T '- '1Jf1:'-wyvu+v1f0qnqvpn.q..a.,,.i.tw.,,,, s i Day and night the school has stood ready to serve its stu- dents and members of the community. Meetings, religious services, athletic contests and the many extra-curricular activities of the school supplied the public with informa- tion, inspiration and enjoyment. The above scene brings back memories of that Hrst day of school. Eager and unlearned, we progressed up the Wide Walk and entered the institution that Was to have such enor- mous influence on our lives in the coming years. All too quickly the years passed. Then as graduates, we finished the Work, received our diplomas and a bit sadly, walked down the same path, passed the brilliant globes of the entrance. A backward look revealed the lights of the school shining brightly, cheering and encouraging us to face the strange new problems which would confront us. School days are over, but the teachings and ideals received during those short years will never be forgotten. V gl x Y Em?

A country cannot progress beyond the mental capacity of the majority of its citizens. There may be outstanding leaders, but think with what greater strides we could go forward, if these leaders had all well-trained citizens as followers. In a democracy such as the United States the need for better trained citizens is even a greater requisite than in dictatorships or some other form of government. If the people are not able to think for themselves, they cannot be intelligent voters. Along with the advantages that a democracy brings with it, are the responsibili- ties which one must be able to assume with a high regree of efficiency. The educated are more tolerant toward the ways and customs of others. When they know each other better races can become more friendly. The opportunities for the educated citizen are greater now than ever before. It is the trained person, the one whose natural abilities have been enlarged, that is Wanted. We Seniors, in a sense, are trained, but more than high school training is needed to become a success. In this World of keen competition there is a demand for men and women. who can do at least one thing well. Education should not stop with Commencement Exercises, but should continue all through life. If you are not able to attend college, do not be discouraged, for Orison Swett Marden says, The world is a great university. From the cradle to the grave we are' always in God's great kindergarten, where everything is trying to teach us its lesson, to give us its secret. It all depends upon the eye that can see, the mind that can appropriate. ' -E. MCC.

Senior Class History Class Colors: ORCHID AND GOLD. Class Flower: SNAPDRAGON. Class Motto: PAY ATTENTION. ln September, 1925, a band of small boys and girls, gingerly carrying their dinner pails, entered school for the Hrst time. Soon they learned the essentials of readin', ritin' and 'rithmetic. Even then these small pupils began to display some talent and ability along various lines. Uncle Jim's Birthday Party, written by the literary genius, Ruth Heyman, and produced by a brilliant cast of fourth grad- ers, was pronounced a huge success by the wide-eyed third graders. In the fifth grade we participated in the Eisteddfod. Picture in your mind Ralph Feasby, al- most bursting with pride as a blue ribbon was pinned on the lapel of his coat. And so the years passed. Already we had progressed into the giddy stage, when every- thing was so terribly funny. Soon we had mastered enough knowledge to make a good showing in eighth year tests. Now we were Freshmen! Twenty-one girls and eight boys dashed for the spe- cial seats bythe windows, much to the amusement of the upper classmen. Dis- carding all proffered advice from the Sophs, we left the fate of the class in the capable hands of Miss McCleary, sponsor, Esten Fortney, president, Ruth Jones, vice-president, and Bonita Clem, secretary-treasurer. Even though we studied hard, we had time for the many school activities. At last our hour for upholding tradition came and long will the class of '39 remem- ber its initiation which we administered without reserve. Also in our sophomore year we demonstrated our dramatic ability by presenting two one-act plays, Oh! What a Family and When Mary Comes Home From College. October 22, 1936, was a date to be remembered. Our Junior Play, Be It Ever So Humble, was given before a large and at times sympathetic audience. Then we sailed forth to make more money for the big event, the Junior-Senior Banquet. What a time we had when we started to decorate! Boys crawled fearlessly across gym rafters and girls were completely wound-up in crepe paper and paste! The effort was not Wasted, for the Seniors seemed to enjoy the evening in our Pioneer Camp. Feeling proud and a little bit sad, We began our final year in school. Skating parties, Wiener roasts, staff meetings, basketball games, not forgetting the inter- esting classes, will all be such pleasant memories. We have continued on our way giving our best in all the school's activities. As we grow older, we will come to realize more and more how important school is and how it has made us better able to cope with the problems of the world today. -ELIZABETH Moi-IR. Prophecy Of The Class Of '38 It was a cool evening in August. After a long day under the broiling sun, I sank into an easy chair and, eyes heavy, reached for the daily paper. At first the page seemed blurred and then a huge headline leaped at me, Hanley Breaks Non-Stop Flight Record? An exciting story told of how the 27-year-old pilot, already fa- mous for his invention of flying flivvers, had catapulted his speedy Dynaflash from 'Frisco to London at 415 miles per hour. Why, even in Convoy High School jim had shown interest in aeronautics. As I scanned the paper, I found everyone of my old classmates in the news. There was Charles Sponseller, challenging heavyweight boxer, and still famous for his fights outside of the ring as well as inside. A huge advertisement pictured Val Crabtree as a perfectly dressed gentleman and proprietor of a select men's style shop in New York with branches in London. But that wasn,t so surprising, Val had been a veritable men's model at school. In the sport section, Bob Campbell's picture grinned at me. Ah! He pitched a no-hit game for New York Midgets. Spike had created a stir in baseball news in April by holding out for 545.-He took 538. And on the same page, racing news stated that Lola Sheets had set a new A. A. A. woman's record in the 300- mile cross-country run, using the standard stock model car-a V-8. On the photo page appeared a beautiful portrait of Dorothy Carrier, editor of the column, Advice to the Lovelorn, painted by Artist Vincent Muntzinger, who plays pro-basketball in the winter. Under a social heading, I saw the announcement that Paul Baxter, retiring farmer, had bought a luxurious mansion at the edge of Fort Wayne. RADIO PROGRAM: Miss Genevieve Klein will speak on How to Win Friendsf' Miss Klein has a large following and the listeners are attracted by her charm and power of speech. Then at 9:15 Annabelle Rummel, Metropolitan Opera Star, will give a concert from Philadelphia. Another interesting item was the description of Ralph Feasby's phenomenal success. Attracting the attention of a radio scout who heard his tenor solo on a local program, he was offered a position on a Sunday evening musicale with a nation-wide hook-up and millions of listeners. NEWs FROM HOLLYWOOD! Long-term contracts were given to Gladys Cox and Helen Savieo. Gladys is still the tiny, alert girl we used to know and Helen is equally attractive with her poise and quiet smile. Never very far from Gladys is Kate Krugh, who is employed as the star's agent, and Nora Etzler is Helen,s efficient maid. Say, here is real news! Evalynn McClelland to Speak in Fort Wayne Next Week. She has gained wide acclaim as an able educator. Could you have expected any different outcome for her? FINANCIAL ITEMs: Rachel Thornell, state auditor, has exposed a 550,000 embezzlement at a large national bank. Rachel is another who has followed up her school work with a like profession-bookkeeping and accounting. Esten Fortney, general manager of the Stock Exchange, and the youngest man to hold that position, is enjoying a much- needed vacation at a lake resort with his secretary, Marian Bartz. CWalter Winchell predicts another secretary-and-employer romancej. And here is a bit about La Vonne Fry. She has realized her high school ambi- tion to become a nurse and is now superintendent of nurses in a state hospital. Bonnie', Clem, according to local news, is the popular choice as Queen of Dixon,s renowned Fall Festival. Bonita is to wear a costume of sunflowers. Mr. Gerald Feasby, master of ceremonies, is to present the prizes in the pie-eating contest. It seems Gerald had at one time been a champion himself. CGooseberry is his favorite.J I wondered if everyone of the class was mentioned. No, not yet, here are the rest: Why, Mary Alice Miller is the newly elected lecturer of Ohio State Grange. Elizabeth Mohr is now a bank cashier in Van Wert. She had just taken the posi- tion after the acceptance of her revised bookkeeping system, simplifying the ac- countant's work. Well, gracious me! Luella Hak is finally married. How she ever decided on one boy-friend is beyond me, but there's the announcement. Do you suppose her life will be as quiet and settled now as it was unsettled before? Back again in the Sports Section is the account of Mary Imler, who was chosen to represent the United States in the Olympics. Her outstanding success in a dozen fields of athletics has made her an almost unanimous choice. Women in the News, the widely read weekly, has reached the 1,000,000 mark in circulation. Ruth Jones and Ruth Heymann, who edit the popular magazine, are extremely influential in crystalizing public opinion. Suddenly the muscles of my body contracted in that sudden involuntary jerk experienced by everyone who has suddenly awakened from an unintentional nap. I glanced closely again at the newspaper slipping from my hand, and a huge head- line leaped out at me: Japan Building Super Shipsf, The paper was dated August S, 1938. Just a dream! But dreams do come true some times. Who knows? I may be right. -JAMES ROSENDAHL. NHPSQ' Y, , : nl Q Nr .......

All of us know Cespecially the parentsj that the money for games, plays, small luxuries as well as the funds for necessities come out of the pocketbooks of Mom and Dad, As they realized the increased expenses of our final year, they willingly and unselfishly aided us, always tremendously interested in our Welfare and happiness. Encour- aging and urging us on these school days have indeed been pleasant. In this small way we endeavor to make known the respect and appreciation that we feel. With great pride we enter the pictures of our parents in the 1938 Bellerophon. The grandest people in the world! -ESTEN FORTNEY. ,. if :A if V ' W. . ,, B. t' aw tsi:-LQ. f i hw' Wig .: Q iz!,,5L1ll ' ' The 1937 Junior-Senior Banquet For three long years we had looked forward to the biggest job of the Juniors. Now! At last, the date was set-May 14, 1937, for the Junior-Senior Banquet. How we worked, planned, cut, pasted, repasted, climbed rafters, and rushed to the store for crepe paper. Finally, everything was ready for the Seniors, entertain- ment. That evening, after the girls returned from the cloak room, all the guests joined us in our improvised reception room that was lighted with flickering candles and old-fashioned oil lanterns. The rustic furniture and Indian blankets gave the guests a hint as to the theme of our decorations and program. When the banquet hour arrived, the curtain was drawn and couples filed into our Wigwam, which was made of strips of brown and tan crepe paper stretched from the ceiling to the floor. We immediately seemed to be transferred from the fast moving atmosphere of today into the days of the covered wagon, the plains, and Indians. The tables were placed around our glowing camp-fire, the speakers' table be- ing near the stage. On the stage a real pioneer scene met the eye-a covered wagon was in the center of the stage and a kettle bubbling and boiling swung over the camp fire, making a very realistic picture in the dim candle-lighted room. Sophomores dressed in gingham dresses and overalls with red bandannas, served the bounteous meal which was prepared by the Juniors' Mothers, under the sup- ervision of Mrs. Margaret Lampe. Mr. Johnson, capably presiding as the toastmaster, introduced the following program: A Medley of Songs Prayer r. i,,,,,, . ,i..,..,.. .. .....,,,.. ..,Mr. Riley Welcome Address ..,..v .....

LEITER DONALD DUCK if? gy ,i N 5 .Y l' lx Q P ' . if V ' .y l 'I' M l ll l 1' ' lf ll l' , lv Today, more than ever before, people are thinking in terms of' great proportions and power. Politically, industrially and socially the trend is second to none. If these efforts are motivated by genuine desires for the improvement and elevation of mankind, we need not worry. Unfortunately, the opposite is often the case. Practicing the axiom, In union there is strengthf' nations band together to present a more formid- able front to equally aggressive countries, criminals form mighty law- resisting gangs which wage their wars on helpless society, political in- veiglers wield their persuasive powers on ignorant voters, and even we ourselves are apt to select our own group of associates and, bound strongly together, shut all doors to other individuals. . However, there is a power just as influential, just as irrevocable as any force at work in the world4the power of friendship. One of the most important factors in the upbuilding of this new era is a quality of friendship that, spreading through the world, will touch every inhabitant and change his thoughts of selfish power to the power of doing good. No better place to start can be found than our own community. Strengthen the relationship between parent and child, student and teacher, employer and laborer and gradually the feeling will go outward to encompass every race and nation. We have opened our doors of trade, encouraged new trends in art and style and literature, now let us open the door of friendship-the true way to a happy and useful life. Friendship is a thing most necessary to life, since without friends no one would choose to live, though possessed of all other advantages. - Aristotle. -R. C. H. THE WORLD NEEDS WORLD-WIDE FRIENDSHIPS THE SCHCCDL BOARD Left to Right: Clemence Muntzinger, Walter Tracy, Lewis Riley, Otto Hertz and Dwight Snyder. Behind the scenes of our school life are five men who are vitally interested in all phases of our work. Constantly seeking new ways of improv- ing our educational facilities, they have main- tained the high standards of our school. We rea- lize that it demands thoughtful planning, pains- taking efforts and wise judgment to do this work well. Therefore, if the student body supports the school, respects its property and truly appreciates our opportunities for success, the school board will honestly feel that their work has been of value. OUR SUPERINTENDENTS The influences seen in the lives of past graduates are the linest testimonies to the capability of our heloved County Superin- tendent, Mr. Schaffer. A genuine interest in boys and girls has made him Welcome in every school in rho county. Wfe are proud and appreciative of his unfailing interest in our school and community. MR. C. G. Luiruu MR. C. L. SQHAIIFER After our four years of high school with Mr. Leiter as superintendent, we have come to realize the value of a well-balanced edu- cation, high ideals, and true sportsmanship. Constantly stressing the importance of a solid foundation, he has convinced us that everything worthwhile requires hard work and the determination to succeed.

Increased mental growth and enlarged horizons are needed in the world today. Everywhere we go we see men and women, especially those between the ages of twenty-five and forty, who are cramped and handicapped seriously by the lack of early training. It is not the lack of ability that holds many people down, but lack of industry. One of the most humiliating experiences that can ever come to a human being is to be conscious of possessing more than ordinary ability, and yet be tied to an inferior position because of lack of early training. The world needs leaders. High school is the place to learn how to be leaders. School and college activities give ample opportunity for the development of the art of leadership. Cultivate an open mind and con- stantly seek ways of doing things better, also holding on to the best from the past. Do not waste away moments in foolish frivolity. Use your spare minutes now for reading and self-improvement. You will thereby develop splendid habits for the future. Daily storing up of knowledge will inspire you to greater endeavors. Do not be one of those who may wake up in middle life shocked to iind they are ignorant of the things they should know. John Wanamaker gave the following advice to young men who were talking with him, Let us not be content to mine the most coal, to make the largest locomotives, to weave the largest quantities of carpets, but, amid the sounds of the pick, the blows of the hammer, the rattle of the looms, and the roar of the machinery, take care that the immortal mechanism of God's own hand-the mind-is still full-trained for the highest and noblest service. -E.

Class Motto: AIM HIGH AND NEVER LOSE YOUR AIM After two years of Junior High School work we enter the Freshman Class ready to tackle the many difliculties that would arise during the next four years. By electing Donald Hertz, presidentg Gordon Miller, vice-president, Pauline Steph- enson, secretary-treasurer, as our class ofiicers, we were off to a fine start. The customary Freshman-Sophomore Initiation was received with delight by the good- natured Freshies. Thirty-eight Sophomores, with Miss Leslie again as sponsor, entered zestfully into the many activities of the school year. Class officers were changed completely. Robert Friedly, president, Mary Terry, vice-president, David Kreischer, secretary- treasurer, were the able executives elected. Members of the class co-operated in selling jello and contributing to a bake sale in an effort to make money. In our third year we chose Robert Friedly again as Our president, Gordon Miller, vice-presidentg Donald Hertz, secretary, and Mary Terry, treasurer. Con- stantly busy, the Juniors made a splendid record in outside activities. Selling jello, a wiener roast, skating party, the choosing of class rings and the presentation of the mystery play, The Eyes of Tlaloc,', proved that we were a progressive class.

That first day will never be forgotten when we walked into the assembly and were appraised by our fellow students. We felt rather lost, but with the guiding hand of Miss Freck, we progressed through our first year successfully. The next year we felt more like high school students, since we were in the assembly. We shall never forget the day we went to St. Marys in Poling's truck, and the thrilling adventures we had on the big lake. Another year came and we were Freshies. One night we were found riding tricycles and clucking like chickens. Yes! We were being initiated and what fun! When the class organized, we chose Marlin Thomas, presidentg Arlene Rager, vice- presidentg Daniel Friedly, secretary, and Billie Mollenkopf, treasurer. Later in the year we had our first skating party and some resolved to wear two pairs of skates instead of one. Our class is known as the athletic class, because so many are members of the basketball squad. Now we are Sophomoresg consequently we feel quite grown up. Our first job was to initiate the Freshmen. We took them through the Hall of Horrors. We also had the pleasure of initiating the new teachers, who exhibited their skill in a tug of war. We gave three plays in which most of the members took part. have around. ODUS BAXTER- YOU can't stop me from dreaming. PAUL BATES-Often late, but seems to be in a hurry.

Trying our utmost to be completely at ease, the Seventh Graders marched into the enormous room lto usj which was filled with the upperclassmen. Sink- ing gratefully to the squeaky chairs we surveyed the new surroundings. Thus be- gan our high school life. The next year, as very knowing Eighth Graders, we were led by Miss Sattler, sponsor, Clarence Young, president, jean Hoblet, vice-presi- dent, and Dorothy Stephenson, secretary-treasurer. Never to be forgotten is the day we spent at Trier's Park, Fort Wayne, riding merry-go-rounds, and devour- ing huge quantities of popcorn, peanuts, ice cream, etc. In 1937 forty-one Freshmen took their places in the assembly room. At the first class meeting with Miss Wolfe as sponsor, We again elected Clarence Young, president, Joan Shotts, vice-president, and Glendene Vanlandingham, secretary- treasurer. Everyone thoroughly enjoyed themselves at the Initiation Party. The long-suf- fering Freshmen were blindfolded, forced to eat terrible messes, compelled to walk planks, etc., all in the spirit of fun. i Basketball was found to be the favorite sport for both boys and girls.

When we first entered the Seventh Grade we had forty pupils, but after Richard Purk, Richard Kiracofe and Ishmael Carrere left, the enrollment was reduced to thirty-seven. Our activities include Annual Staff, Newspaper Staff, Bible Study and Assembly Programs. Joan Cupp represented us in the Annual work and Betty Jean Shotts and Betty Jean Bates served capably on the News Staff. In Bible we made Church Posters in competition with Union. Our stellar basketball stars are Dick Black and Donnabelle Grant.

Q 42 l'heBellerophon a. ii l A 1 , Q - '5:?ws-.ll-Tvijm .. .A.-. , 32535. 2 1, +-f , , What thrills there are in the world of sports! To the true sportsman there is sheen! beauty in a perfectly executed football play, the speedand alertness of a champion tennis player, the conident poise of an expert diver, or even in the brisk stride of an inveterate hiker. Many and varied are the reasons for the existence of sports. Why do schools emphasize athletics as an essential part of the student's curriculum? First, participation in sports is a worthwhile recreation and unequaled for pure enjoyment. And so we play for the pleasure that it brings. Athletics require muscular strength and a keen, clear-thinking mind. Therefore, from a physiological standpoint, adequate exercise is neces- sary. Sports provide an outlet for pent-up emotions. A freedom and exhilaration of spirit replace the nervous tension that is the result of an exacting day. Co-operation, fair play, consideration of others' rights are all the virtues of a true sportsman. Even the striving for an excellent perform- ance creates a never-say-die attitude, that is invaluable in every walk of life. Finally, a love of sports preserves a youthful viewpoint, an inter- est in outdoor activities, in action, and games makes age of little concern. Sports are as old as the World, new rules and methods may originate, but the age-old desire for recreation and fun remains. A child plays not because be is young, But he is young because be plays. -R. C. H. THE WORLD NEEDS GREATER PHYSICAL VIGOR 44 lhebellerophon COACH Fulfilling the requirements of a good coach, Mr. Craig has won our respect and admiration by his patient and considerate attitude. During games his practice of good sportsmanship influenced the team and prompted them to work, not only for the sake of Winning, but for the satisfaction of playing the game fair and square. His interest in athletics extends beyond basketball. Archery, tennis, tract, baseball and other forms of organized play have helped students select the sport for which they are best fitted. To Coach Craig goes our thanks for making physical education periods both pleasurable and benehcial.

Convoy 11-Middle Point 10. BOYS-Off to a bad start the half ended 21-12 in favor of our' opponents.

WREN-NOV. 12: GIRLS-Even though the girls played hard to win, their opponents broke through and defeated Convoy, 26-16. BOYS-Our boys went to town with the Wren boys. Despite Wren's fast passing our boys won with a final score of Convoy 36-Wren 26. WILLSHIRE-NOV. 19: GIRLS+Speed overcame height and in quick plays and pass work our girls defeated Willshire, 22-12. BOYS-The C. H. S. boys looked minute in the presence of Willshire's giants. The odds were all against our squad and the score must not be seriously considered under the circumstances. MENDON-NOV. 23: GIRLS-The girls showed Mendon they could play real basketball, but all their efforts were in vain, losing by one point. Mendon 12-Convoy 11. BOYS--Evidently the senior boys had Fort Wayne on their minds in this and were beaten by Mendon with a score of Convoy 17-Mendon 25. TWILLSHIRE-DCC. 3: GIRLS-Nice work, team! They were victorious over Willshire in their first league game of the season, 22-12. Keep it up! BOYS-This was the hardest and best fought game this season. The boys tried exceedingly hard but nevertheless the game ended with Willshire 36-Convoy 29. :PWREN-DCC. 10: GIRLS-It was a well-fought game, both teams trying to keep a perfect score in league standing. Some one had, to lose and in this case it was Convoy, 24-13. BOYS--Our boys showed up well in this game and the score ended with Convoy 10 points ahead. The Hnal score was Convoy 36-Wren 26.

LATTY-Dec. 21: GIRLS-Convoy's team was unable to outscore Latty and when the gun cracked Convoy was trailing, 16-18, with the ball in their possession. BOYS-The Convoy boys easily defeated the Latty boys December 21, by a score of 44-15. Coach Craig played almost all the boys. Although several sucker and set shots were missed, Convoy was never hard pressed. ALUMNI-'J3D. 1: GIRLS-It was good to see some of our past basketball stars on the floor once again, but due to lack of training many were stiff, and the High School team defeated the Alumni mem- bers, 10-4. BOYS-Former stars of Convoy High School played a fine game against the Varsity. The game was close throughout. Odus Baxter saved the game with a spectacular push shot in the final seconds that enabled the Varsity to win, 28-27. 'FRIDGE-jan. 7: GIRLS-Slowed down considerably by the Christmas vacation, the girls were not playing their usual game of basketball, and consequently lost to Ridge, 16-24.

BOYS-This game was forfeited January 14, because of an argument concerning the playing time. However, on February 16, Convoy was so far ahead there wasn't a chance for an argument. The game ended Qhappily for usb-Convoy 55-Hoaglin-jackson 45. LosT CREEK-Jan. 15: GIRLS--Despite their loss the preceding evening, our girls showed their real spirit and defeated Lost Creek girls, 16-15. BOYS-This was a brotherly love game-two Craig coaches and a Craig referee. Brother Howard's boys whipped Lost Creek with a final score of Convoy 34-Lost Creek 30. :FOHIO CITY-Jan. 21: ' GIRLS-When a girl of height gets in your way, you cannot do much when she is under thc basket and just tips it in. Convoy 21-Ohio City 30. BOYS-Our boys were lax on their guarding in this game and let Ohio City open to score and consequently beat us by a final score of Convoy 26-Ohio City 32. '5YoRK-Jan. 28: GIRLS-Thinking things out will get you a long way in basketball, and it helped the girls defeat York, 22-19. BOYS-York played to win, but so did Convoy, and the latter took the game with the final score Convoy 26-York 21. PAYNE-Feb. 4: GIRLS-Convoy girls were unable to get their guards out from the basket to get there themselves, and could not score but a few long shots. Convoy losing, 15-21. BOYS-I guess our boys must have been off tonight for Payne out-scored them by just two points. Convoy 20-Payne 22. MONROEVILLE-Feb. 5: GIRLS-No game. BOYS-Boy, were those Monroeville boys fast!

BOYS-Convoy came back with renewed vigor after the Middle Point game and took Grover Hill to town. Convoy 34-Grover Hill 18. UNION-Feb. 18: GIRLS-If you win by one or two points you win by a mile. This was so in defeating Union, 11-9. BOYS-Union was on in this game and unfortunately the boys were beaten seven points. Too bad- Convoy 31-Union 44. TOURNAMENT WILLSHIRE-Feb. 25: BOYS-We couldn't have drawn a tougher team than Willshire, who took the county tournament, the district, and were beaten in the semi-finals at the state. And so you can guess the out- come of the Convoy-Willshire combat. Score, 21-36. ' League games. LA VONNE FRY. RALPH FEASBY. LETTER GIRLS RUBY MCDANIEL Mickey is a three-letter girl. She has another year to play and her splendid guarding will be a wonder- ful asset to the team. LOLA SHEETS We are sorry this is Sheets' last year, because she was always there when needed. ROMAINE FRY W This is Mainie's first letter and we expect her to have three when she graduates because of her capable playing. MABLE CARRIER Stubby was our star forward. Her speed and de- ception made her very hard to guard. She was elected Honorary Captain hy her teammates and she has re- ceived two letters. REFA RYAN Ryan, a three-letter girl, displayed good team- work and was willing to do her part. MARY Jo TRACY Tracy saved the team from many a defeat by her ability to break up dribbles and intercept passes. She is a two-letter girl and has two more years in school. VIRGINIA LoNc Ginny, having two more years to play basketball, will continue to show her real spirit in playing. She receives her second letter this year. DONNA BUCHER With her co-operative spirit, Bucher did much in aiding the team to many victories. This is her first letter and we are sorry she is leaving our community. MARY IMLER- Q not appearingj Since Imler didn't enter school until the second six weeks, she was not permitted to participate during the first semester. Nevertheless, she made up for it in the second. She is a senior and receives her second letter. LETTER BCDYS V GORDON MILLER-junior-Forward Tame was an outstanding forward and, although he didn't play all of the time, he was ready when called. Gordon should go to town next year. ESTEN FORTNEY-Senior-Forward Fortney is one of the best and most active forwards C. H. S. has cvcr turned out. We are sorry to lose Esten this year. DONALD HERTZ-Junior-Guard You could count on Donnie for doing his share of the guarding and always getting his share of the points. We're expecting much from you next year, Donald. ROBERT BUCHER-Junior-Guard Puff was another good and active guard and held his man to few points. We'l1 look for Buch next year. VINCENT MUNTZINGER-Senior-Center Muntz was also among Convoy's best. He could be counted on for a number of points in every game. Too bad this is Vincent's last year. Oous BAXTER-Sophomore-Forward Odi, although small, was the most active man on the squad and came up with his share of the baskets. Baxter has two more years. RALPH FEAsBY-Senior-Guard This was for Breezy his first year out. The short- est man on the squad, he could play either forward or guard.

Exquisite paint- i X quhx X ings and sculpture, awe-inspiring music, magnifi- B cent literature have sprung from the hearts and l I, souls of geniuses. As the heirs of so great a for- K e w tune should our lives ever be drab and uninter- I esting? In the appreciation of the better things of life we develop culture-not the veneer of culture that people sometimes acquire by a superficial interest in the arts, but culture that is the inevitable result of beauty within. Carlyle says: The great law of culture is: Let each become all that he is created capable of being.', If that is the solution, we have a wealth of opportunities to develop our talents, broaden our intellect, raise our moral standards and actually strive toward the highest we know. To obtain refinement it is not nec- essary to be educated in finishing schools or spend years buried beneath piles of books. A keen, observant eye discovers hidden wonders, heretofore thought nonexistent, a love of good music produces a mellowness and enrich- ment of life that is unsurpassed, an infinite regard for the simple yet priceless gifts in the realm of nature fills us with deep inexpressible emo- tions. George Grey Barnard, the famous sculpturer, remarked: I have worked with my chisel on many beautiful materials, above all marble, but none has ever been more wonderful than the mud I used as a boy. Out of the mud comes all things-Earth is the pure breath of God. Real farmers know this, and they make from mud things more wonderful than any artist does. Culture cannot be acquired in a day or a year. It comes from con- stant association with things that are good, continuous practice of the Golden Rule, and not limited to one field, but varied to include the wondrous beauties gleaned from every activity of life. --R.

Step by step, picture by picture, word by word, each and every one of this staff worked harmoniously, writing, rewriting, thumbing dictionaries, haunting libraries-in short-striving to make this Hfteenth volume of the Bellerophon the best possible. The compiling of the Bellerophon has required much more time and concentrated effort than we, at first, thought possible. Yet, we feel sure that the knowledge and experience is well worth it all. We, the Annual Staff of 1938, speaking for the entire Senior Class, wish to express our gratitude to those who helped to make this volume a success. For, it was only through the co-operation of all, that this work could be accomplished. We sincerely hope that our endeavors will meet with the approval of everyone. Through the knowledge gained from this undertaking, we have come to appreciate not only the hard work of previous Bellerophon editors, but we view magazines, news- papers and publications of all sorts through different eyes. We have been given a clearer insight into the trials and problems of editors because of this limited venture in the field of journalism. 1 Ill., ' l'gsrQlht,i9i ll-Q 'll,!UJ --'-X1 is 7,71 YY.,YY,,, , ,fain Thebellerophon 55 THE NEWS STAFF An important school activity has been added to this school 'year under the title of The Convoy Indian Sentinel.

Not only the reporters but also the printers, with ink-stained fmgers and faces, were ready to do their part.

The Hrst group of thirty-four members was selected from the upper three grades of high school. The chorus was well received when they performed on various chapel programs throughout the year, for Farmers' Institute, and on the Christmas program when they gave the difficult Hallelujah Chorus from Handells oratorio, The Messiah. The second chorus, composed of thirty-six members from the upper four grades of high school, prepared songs for chapel programs, such as, Gypsy Trailf' by Galloway, Old Ir0nsides, by Klein, and Morning Now Beckonsf' a Czecho- Slovakian folksong. Students from both choruses were chosen for Baccalaureate chorus. On May 17th thirty members, chosen from chorus and glee clubs, represented our school in the music festival, sponsored by Wren, Union and Tully-Convoy Schools. This chorus of ninety voices under the direction of Dale Gilliland of Ohio State University was a musical treat for those in the community as well as for the members of the chorus. Ruth jones, the accompanist for both choruses, deserves much credit for the time she has given to help make our choruses a success. Miss Leslie, however, should receive most of the credit for our work, for it was through her capable leadership that we were enabled to grow musically. Everyone has enjoyed chorus this year and all of us hope that in the years to come we shall have choruses of such high calibre. -VLRON PANCAKL. 5'-Q QU Q S ' 'rf Qi lit' liz.

Some of our favorite songs were, My Heart's in the Highland, a setting of one of Robert Burns, famous poemsg The Drumf, a four-part humorous songg and Sailing, a rollicking song of the sea. Boys' Glee prepared an interesting group of songs for a high school assembly in February and were well received by the student members, faculty members and visitors.

GIRLS' GLEE CLUB Music, the most universal of all the fine arts, was' greatly appreciated and enjoyed by members of the Girls' Glee Club this year. Not only has our club grown in numbers, but it has also grown in the capacity to handle better music in a more musicianly way. Our membership this year included forty-three girls, selected from the four upper grades of high school. During the year we prepared songs for various chapel programs and for Farmers' Institute. On the Christmas program we sang Coventry Carol and Cradle Songf' two Sixteenth Century carols, and He Shall Feed His Flock, from Handcl's Messiah, Some of the other fine songs which we learned were The Lotus Flowerf, by Schumanng None But the Lonely Heart, by Tschaikowskyg and 'QI Would that My Love, by Mendelssohn. By far our biggest project for the year was The Beatitudcsf' a Cantata by Grant-Schaffer, which We memorized and presented at our Easter Chapel. Miss Leslie, our leader. was tireless in her efforts to make Glec Club a success and we owe her much thanks for the musical opportunities which she made possible for us throughout the year. Also the capability and loyalty of our accompanist, Ruth Heymann, contributed much to the joy and success of our club. LBIZTTY MAL COWGILL. 'I B gllllll 'S llllll v TheBeIIerophon 59 The Latini Socii which was formed four years ago by first and second year Latin students, reorganized this year with a membership of eighteen. The name, Latini Socii, means Latin comrades. This was chosen because Latin, with all its troubles, does develop comradeship. The new members bought the customary club pins, which designate the year of graduation from high school or Latin and, of course, the name of the club. Our meetings each month are divided into two parts which aid us educationally and socially. Subjects of interest to Latin students are presented and then perhaps some one will render us practically speechless by their musical contribution. The joint Christmas-Initiation party was thoroughly enjoyed, especially the exchange of toys, which proved beyond doubt that there are still children in high school. March 1, the Freshmen and Sophomore Latin classes combined to entertain the Latin Alumni. An amateur hour, a play, games and St. Patrick's Day refreshments made the evening a huge success. The final social aifair of the year was the Latin Banquet, given by the Freshmen for the Sophomores. Latin costumes, games, seating arrangements and Roman food trans- ported us back almost 2,000 years ago into old Rome. We feel that our club has proved beneficial and has become a necessary part of our school life. -MARY Jo TRACY.

The 1937-1938 Convoy Hi-Y, under the sponsorship of Mr. Miller, has established itself as one of the best Hi-Y organizations in the history of the school. Composed of twenty-five boys from Sophomore, Junior and Senior classes, the members elected as their oflicers for the year: Esten Fort- ney, president, Veran Pancake, vice-president, Donald Hertz, secretary, Ray Riley, treasurer, David Kreiseher, reporter. Regular meetings were held once a month, at which many topics of interest to high school boys were discussed. Due to a lack of available old members the Induction Service was sponsored by the Van Wert Hi-Y Club. In the course of the year, we presented two chapel programs. At one of these Reverend Lamy, pastor of the First Presbyterian Church in Van Wert, spoke to the assembly on World Peace. The club intends to sponsor two members to attend the Hi-Y Camp this summer. Not neglecting the social side of life the boys invited girls from the high school on a Date Night, in the form of a roller-skating party. Another skating party was the Hi-Y-Girl Reserve affair held at Bell's Rink. A fishing party towards the close of the school year, concluded the activi- ties of the club. ---DONALD Hmwz.

Ruth Jones was the club's president, Mary Louise Terry. vice-president, and Arlene Rager, secretary-treasurer. lust before Thanksgiving the G.

BANQUET Each year we endeavor to hold a banquet for the boys of the department and their fathers. This banquet is held to acquaint these co-operators in Vocational Education with one another and the functioning of the F. F. A. organization. It? has proven to be one of the outstanding banquets held in Convoy. It was cleverly arranged and uniquely decorated. The program was also ably presented. Mr. A. J. Stemen served as toastmaster and Rev. G. G. Hughes gave an excellent address on This is my beloved Son in whom I am well pleasedf, The menu was prepared by Mrs. Lampe and served by the Misses Ruby Mae McDaniel. Gladys Cox, Betty Mae Cowgill, Pauline Stevenson, Garnett Sowers, Virginia Eddy, Mary Terry. These Maidens of the Kitchen deserve a lot of credit. We feel that this occasion does promote a spirit of fellowship and co-operation be- tween father and son and tht these parents realize with pride the fine work of their boys and the vocational instructor. -The F.

J AMEs ROSENDAHL HEADED FOR EDEN - SYNOPSIS Headed for Eden is the story of six girls who make their home in Mrs. Skipw0rth's boarding house. Each has her own particular problem and especially Kate whose brother, Bob, has always been a trial to her. He is thought tu be involved in a murder, but is finally proved innocent when Limpy, torn by a fear of gangster revenge, by a strange religious fervor, betrays a knowledge of the accident. Kate's anger towards Ken Howard, a reporter, changes to love. Ken, of course, has been in love with her all the time and has done much for her and her brother. Gladys decides her troubles are few, compared to other people's, and promises to be happier and more satisfied. Marcella, after many tough breaks, finally lands a job taking care of triplets. Peggy and Dorothy add to the comedy by mimicking other characters. Imogene's fearless and independent ways win Hank's admiration. There are several love affairs ending as they should and all are happy, because of Bob's acquittal, and the healing of the breach between Ken and Kate. eBellerophon 65 JUNICJR CLASS PLAY Amanda Simpkins ,,., , .

Amanda and Ezra Simpkins, caretakers of the ranch house, admit one strange group after another, while an equinoctial storm rages without. Pudge Rogers, bringing in the license plates from john Wayne's car, almost convinces Nancy Wayne and her friends that her Uncle John has been killed in the storm. Tommy Tinker, the archaeologist, believes, however, that there is something mysterious about john Wayne's disappearance and decides to solve the mystery. Finally a plan to the house is found which shows a secret cave leading to Mexico. It was in a passage way leading to this cave that john Wayne found himself when his worthless brother' pushed him from the road and it was through the eyes of the real idol, hidden behind the picture, that he was able to see the treachery about him. After john Wayne sees everyone about him in his true light, he makes his appearance through the cave entrance, explains all, and frees the house of the mysterious curse. 66 l'heBellerophon WEVP, :df- s i r 'fl .T I if ' ,a !! X, if In The Bellerophon We have many evidences of co-operation, but that co-operation should be extended much farther. People can accomplish a great deal more when they are working together-supplementing each other's efforts. The human race can do much more when a spirit of brotherhood enters into every walk of life and pervades the thoughts of all. We are now faced with a great need to conserve our natural resources. This can best be done by the united effort of everyone. By proper co- operation, gradually and surely our own country, at least, can be turned into a veritable utopia. Then young people can have the opportunity for a good education in institutions beyond the local high school, can be as- sured of paying jobs, find it financially safe to marry. In many cases they can care for health and supply such environment as will make for better citizens with each passing generation. We, as citizens, must co-operate to bring better medical care to the most of us, thereby hastening the eradication of our contagious and infectious diseases. Edward Albert Filene, the great Boston merchant, Worked through- out his life for employer-employee co-operation. Co-operation was the key to his plan of living. Co-operation is an attempt to live rationally, to create a reasonable and harmonious world. We need more co-opera- tion in the World today, because it offers the best hope of World peace, since the causes of War rest upon an economic basis and that wars are promoted largely by economic forces. We talk about disarmament. But, unless we have a solution to economic problems We cannot have disarma- ment. We must first solve the question of economics, through co-opera- tion, and then proceed to disarmament. Co-operation is Christian brotherhood in practice. --E. MCC.
