W We have chosen for the theme, of our Annual, the Airship. We feel that our High School represents the progressive pace of Education just as the Airship is repre- senting the rapid progress of Transportation. As words or pictures fail to adequately express the emotions of an aviator, who has made a record flight, so the contents of this Annual are unable to fully express the emotions of the past year. Our only hope is that this annual will recall to our minds the happenings of our school days so clearly that we will be able to live over this glorious year. 1 THE STAFF. , Dedication The Senior Class dedicates this Echo of the year nineteen hundred twenty-nine to those whose love and unselfish devotion have inspired and made possible this realization of n cherished aspiration- TO OUR PARENTS AND TEACHERS.

In order to bring about reasoned con- trol of behavior we, the teachers, have found the following to be the objectives of edu- cation and consequently the purposes in our work. They are 111 Health, 121 Vocation, Q31 Citizenship, Q45 Character, Q51 Worthy home membership, 161 Right use of leisure, CU Mastery of fundamental processes, Q81 Devolepment of individuality, Q93 Broad- mindedness. In an effort to do our part to attain the above and under the direction of state and local officials we have offered four courses of study. They are: 111 Vocational Agri- culture, f2J Vocational Home Economics, 131 Classical or College Entrance, Q45 General. Connected with our agricultural work is Mr. Beaty whose six years of service at Itawson have seen his department grow from a handful of boys to third in the state oi Ohio. In our two years of Smith-Huglies Home Economics Miss Bower has presided over the destinies of that department. lt has grown from twentyaseven girls last year to thirty-nine this year. The other High school teachers with the exception of Miss Higbie have also had previous experience at Rawson and teach the subjects oifered in thc Classical and Gen- eral Courses as well as subjects of allied nature in the Vocational Courses. These teachers are Thomas Duncan, Wilbur Nixon, Charlotte Gaeth and Evelyn Damon. Other information about these teachers may be found with their pictures in the fore part of this book. We believe our school is second to none in this county as to teachers, pupils, com- munity and scholarship accomplished. In the recent county elimination for the state scholarship contest our school placed ten scholars out of a possible twenty-four for the entire county. 4 . Our school holds three distinct charters. The High School holds one from the North Central Association of Colleges and Secondary Schools as well as a first grade charter from the State of Ohio. The Elementary School holds the Hrst First Class Standard Elementary School charter granted in Hancock County. Thomas Duncan. Fourteen i if I--I I I l I I 1 1 I3 I 1 I Y Y I I .

Q lr 5 I. ,N t' Twenty-three The Class Voyage In the fall of '25 twenty-five raw recruits mustered in at Rawson High School, to seek knowledge, wisdom and understanding, to guide them up the great voyage of life. These adventurers embarked upon the good will ship Rawson High school for parts altogether unexplored by them. During our voyage as Freshmen we were in the earlier part of the year initiated by the upperclassmen and were soon found to be a factor necessary for the success of the trip. Our crew was organized as follows: Class advisor, Miss Tobiasg president, Gorby Ewing, secretary, Elton Bushong, and treasurer, Robert Latham. The watch- word we chose was, Let knowledge grow, let life be enriched. After a fw months furlough, we again assembled to direct our course toward more distant ports. This year we rallied about Mr. Nixon, class advisorg Paul Temple, president, Harold Rossman, vice-president, and Kenneth Baumgartner, secretary- treasurer. During this voyage letters were won by many oi our band for participating in the activities of the school. In the fall of '27 again we found ourselves at the wharf-a sturdy, seasoned crew. Those at the helm were: Mr. Nixon, class advisory Paul Temple, president, John Burkett, vice-president, Sarah Mae Traucht, secretary: and Burns Hartman, treasurer. Many of those who enlisted in the voyage took part in Glee Club, Orchestra, Debating, and Athletics. The climaxing achievement of this cruise was the successful staging of the Junior class play entitled, Mr, Bob . This became possible only by the good und faithful work of all the mates. One of the latest events was the Junior-Senior banquet, held in the Japanese port. Some of our crew became seasick and left us before the final knot, but in spite of some rough sailing there are twenty-nine on deck ready to be cheered into the port of graduation. And now as we me about to diseinbark we entrust to our fellow voyagers our beloved old craft-the R. H. S. May they have blue skies, fair weather and a safe landing. -Orlin Wilch. Twenty-four Senior Class Poem The Graduating Class of '29 Steps into the long line, Of the classes passed before Softly closing the golden door. Our school life was fiail' to View Our thoughts and ideals were su trueg Our life was happy but yet those tears And they will bring joy in future years. This is not the end of school life We are beginning a newer strifeg We are not sad that we must part From the school of our heart. We are not glad to leave thee tho' It is so that we must surely gag So then to thee Old Ruwson High We'll meet again beyond the sky. Altho' our life, we may regret School day joys we'll ne'er forget: With wishes for lx bright future to you We bid to thee R. H. S. our last adieu. -Carl A.

WITNESS: THE ANNUAL STAFF. , By Power of Attorney, ELIZABETH V. DICUS. Class Prophecy Once-upon a midnight dreary, while I pondered, weak and weary, Over many a quaint and curious volume of forgotten lore- While I nodded, nearly napping, suddenly there came a tapping, As of someone gently rapping, rapping at my chamber door- Tis some visitor , I muttered, tapping at my chamber door- Only this and nothing more. . Slowly opening the door I beheld an elderly looking man, rather tall with a long black beard. He pleasantly nodded and asked if it was possible for him to secure lodging for the rest of the night with me. Inviting him in I showed him a large arm chair where he could sit and be comfortable, as he looked very tired. After questioning him as to his mission and how he happened to be in Mexico he explained to me that he was making a tour all over the world in search of his classmates who forty years ago graduated from Rlawson High School, a small school in the state of Ohio. One half mile from my cottage his ,motor cycle which he relied upon for land transportation refused to run as motor cycles do and he had come to my cottage for shelter. Immediately I recognized the name of my school which forty years ago I too had graduated from and after discussing some instances which had happened there, lie introduced himself as Gorby Willis Ewing, commonly known as Windy the motor cycle wizard. After looking at him again I recognized him as my classmate, and then easily understood why he traveled by motor and yet it was hard for me to believe that my classmate could really grow a beard. I asked him to tell me of the class mates whom he had visited but he was much too tired for such and handing me a smnll note book which looked and showed the wear of being handled by many hands, he asked me to read it as it contained all the information he had found of the old class. Opening the book I found the following information: Zerel Jno. J. Burkett, noted opera singer is now appearing in Vitaphone produc- tion to avoid being struck by soft tomatoes. Ruth Boutwell, bare-back rider in Heck and Beck and Wallace Circus is compet- ing with Hoot Gibson in a live mile race to be held at Daytona Beach as her nag has lost its eyesight. Wayne Flick, only red-headed Scotchman in existence, is now straw-boss in the Lake Odessa Canning Factory, his crave for beans is responsible for securing him his position. Alf:-ieda Bosse, Jeneru Rapper, is now mmiager of a Beauty Shope in Detroit and CContinued on page 281 Twenty-seven Class Prophecy fContinued. from page 273 the blminess is very rushing. QR.ushing right by the door.j Eugene Fox, wizard of the air has just had a special tri-motored seaaplane built and tested in which he and his wife fformerly Helen Ruth Baulngartnerj will attempt a non-stop flight around the world. lf his wife is as true to him as she was in the old school days we are positive he will succeed. Carl Augustus I-loch, professor in History in the Mt. Cory schools is planning a trip to Europe, where he expects to find a newly invented hair straightner which will do its duty. He has been disappointed in love and is sure this is the only cure. Mrs. Adolph Bosse formerly Elizabeth Dicus is residing in Jenera where her husband is establishing a mushroom factory, Miss Thelma Hiles, society leader in Blue Pigeon is putting forth great efforts to establish the Anti-Tobacco league, but her efforts seem in vain. The boys will have their luckies. Miss Mildred Payne now has a position in the Pore Brothers Store in New Stark. Her dower right entitles her to one third interest. Sara Mae Traucht is still working at the Villa in Findlay but no one ever asks her how old she is anymore. Rhoda Marquart, chicken raiser in Eagle Township is planning a house to ac- commodate one million chickens. This will be by far the largest in the neighborhood. Kenneth Baumgartner, mayor of Chicago is making a desperate attempt to clean up its gangsters. Wonder where he found the nerve. Burns Hartman, big butter and egg man from New York is back in Rawson look- ing for his old blonde friends. Will be ever grow up. Harlow Redick has stepped into Babe Ruth's place with the Yanks. The fans remark that Ruth couldn't knock a home in an age with Harlow in front of him. Paul Temple has favored the country by running for President. He isn't fond of the responsibility but to be the citizen he is, he must do his duty. Dolores Baker, the innocence of our class is giving dancing lessons at the Marvin Theatre. Harlow Rauch pastor of the Brethren church in Benton Ridge is promoting reform in Pool Rooms. Harold Rossman, boxing promoter has leased the Madison Square Gardens for une year. He has planned many fights and is expecting Joel Bnumgartner, his fighting ace to become the next champ. Orlin-Wilch agricultural engineer has invented a. net, which can be bought very cheaply, to stretch around farms to prevent corn borers from getting in. Smith Brothers lEarl 6 Elmerj have invented a new cough drop which eases the throat after smoking. Howard Crist, novelist has published a book entitled You Know I Don't which will be on sale at all news stands soon. Vera Decker, head nurse in the Poor Hopes Hospital kindly invites all hen-peeked husbands to call upon her after each family quarrel. Russell Ream, auto racer, drove seven hundred miles per hour in a new Triple X. Graidty couldn't hold him and he hasn't been seen since. 'It is thnught,thot probably some time he will stop at 0man's.' Twenty-eight Valedictory At the close of our high school life it is well to consider our class motto, Let knowledge grow-Let life be enriched. For we are now about to begin our life work, and to be most efficient in our particular fields, our knowledge must grow and our life must be enriched. Our knowledge grows only during our application for it. Success is dependent upon the amount of effort that we put forth. We can not expect to get very fur in this life if we do not put much into it, Every person should decide what he or she will beg whether he will be u leader or a follower. 'A leader always holds a position of respect in the community, while on the other hand the inert person merely gains his subsistance through his work. He never does anything without being pushed by the leader. Emerson gave a good expression of the idea when he wrote, Life only avails, not the having lived. Power ceases in the instant of repose. We have Franklin as an example of the person who was a leader during his entire life. He was past sixty when he became active in political life. What wouid we know about him if he had been content to quit work when he was sixty? I dare say we probably would know nothing about him, at least he would not hold the position he now holds among the world's great men. We have Johnson and Coleridge as examples of the opposite type, they were both willing to live in the past. They ure both recognized as great English writers, but what might they have been if they had been unwilling to allow their former achieve- ments to go unimproved and unfinished? In searching through history we find many men like Franklin, also many like Johnson and Coleridge. One credit must be given to the latter type, and that is that they were active during a part of their lives else we would lmow nothing whatever about them. If we wish to let knowledge grow in this life we must tax our strength to the utmost, and rely on ourselves, but not entirely disregard the advice of others, for all knowledge is obtained through our own and other people's thoughts, and experiences. A person who is talented is more likely to take an interest in that talent than one not so well qualified. So we should first seek the type of work for which we are best fitted, and second only to that, we should apply ourselves to that task to the best of our ability, that we may gain recognition in that field. If we are to be leaders in the affairs of men we should be reliant on ourselves, think our own way through a matter, work and keep our eyes open for opportunity, and let knowledge grow so that life will be enriched. ' Now in behalf of the class of 29 it becomes my sad duty to bid farewell to the Superintendent, teachers, school-board, friends and patrons of this class assuring them that we will not forget their goodwill and thanking them for their patience, labor and kindness in our behalf. -Elton Bushong. Twenty-nine - Our Heritage As we finish the last lap of our race for knowledge in the Public Schools we realize that our hope, aims and ambitions of the past twelve years have finally been attained, Upon considering the many reasons for these nttainments we find them to be a part of our Heritage. By Heritage we mean the home training, the name, the material wealth, the home environment, the social position, the outside environment, and the training in the Church and Public School which we hnve received through the efforts of our parents. There seems to be a prevalent idea in the minds of youth that material wealth and a high social position make up an Heritage of Victory. If these are lacking, and in their place is the necessity of hard work for a living and consequently a name of no great importance to the world, they consider this an Heritage of Defeat. Let us analyze the possibilities of the youth with this Heritage of Victory. Even though some money is necessary and desirable in this life, too much is disastrous: for it provides luxuries, excess of automobiles and clothes, and recreation, with little or no work on the part of the youth. It denies him the knowledge of the value of money, the experience of honest labor, the responsibilities of standing on his own feet and estab- lishing his own principles and ideals. He whose Heritage has seemed of little importance to the world considers it an Heritage of Defeat not because he does not appreciate his opportunities, but because he fails to recognize them as a part of his Heritage. From such an Heritage he derives life's aims, ability to keep going surely and steadily, self respect, and capabilities to meet the demands of a progressive nation. To have the desire to develop his talents the youth must have the importance of his service to mankind stamped upon his mimi eorly in life. He will work at each task with the idea of doing his best and counts the joy of knowing that a task is well done greater remuneration than the money received for it. It is the youth who has been used to the rays of success shining between black clouds of disappointment and failure who can come up smiling after every defeat with even a greater zeal for victory. It is the in- fluence of Christian parents that enables him to keep his faith in God when his princi- ples are mocked by his associates. Yct with all these abilities to form a sure foundation, there is needed the influence of good environment and thorough training in the Church and Public School to make possible the harmonizing of his life with that of the rest of mankind. With such an Heritage of Defeat the youth will be able to attain to a victory which will give to his posterity even greater opportunities. Paul Temple.

JUNIOR CLASS ORGANIZATION President - - - A - - Wesley Augustine Vice President - - Florence Solt Secretary-treasurer - - Marcus DeWese Clnss Motto Nothing is gained without work Junior Class History During a pleasant September day in the year 1926 fifty students termed as Green Freshies entered the doors of Rawson High to begin their high school career. Although ne were timid, it was soon acknowledged that such a class was necessary to carry on the activities of Freshmen. On organizing, Mr. Bcaty was appointed class advisory Florence Solt, president, Marcus DeWcse, vice president, and Ruby Heldman, secretary. Nothing is gained without work was the class motto selection. Several of our mem- bers participated in the school activities. So our Freshman year soon ended, leaving us unaware of its passing because of intense interest. The second year on organizing, Mr. Beaty remained clnss advisor, and the following officers elected: Ruby Heldman, presidentg Dorothy Gossmnn, vice presidentg Garnet Beucler, secretary-treasurer, and Wesley Augustine sergeant-at-arms. Again various members participated in athletics and activities. The third year having now arrived we are Juniors, still retaining Mr. Beaty as class advisor, and electing Wesley Augustine, president, Florence Solt, vice presidentg Marcus DeWese, secretary-treasurer. This year numerous members assisted in the athletics and other beneficial activities. Our principal achievement being the Junior Class Play entitled Ace High . The closing event of the year being our Junior-Senior banquet. The attendance was excellent and a jovial time, I assure you, was had by all who were present. The year has sped so swiftly as to compel us to bid farewell to all who are concerned, and may the future welcome next year be as pleasant as the preceding. Henry Vogel. Thirty-three Thirty-four JUN IORS Here in this school of today As in that one of tomorrow, You'll find happiness work and play, Without even a hint of sorrow. Tis true we're learning a lesson, Out of the fun and strife, So that each of us may hasten To that greater lesson-Life. And with the coming of later years, These unforgotten school times, Will fall upon our mental ears, As the echo of pleasant chimes.

We shall pass lightly over our Freshman year, having been stepped upon by the Sophomores, according to the ancient and honorable tradition that proclnims that such things must be. However, when given the opportunity to show our prowess in chapel programs and athletics, we set that high standard which has since been the distinguish- ing characteristic of our class. This year we made a flying start hy electing Dale Wallace president, and Marjorie Powell secretary-treasurer. Miss Damon still held the power of reprimanding us with true parental judgment and authority when we needed it-which, of course, was seldom. When the call for athletics was sounded, our class valiantly responded and produced some real stars as all who saw Dick make that wonderful run during' the football sea- son will testify. And what would the basketball team have been without our Sophomore girls? With this year passes the last trace of our extreme youth and inexperienced be- havior. We have definite aims in rising to the position vacated by the upperclassmen. But whatever the position in life it shall bc- ours to fill, we hope that through our elforts here we shall have bettered our school and community as well as ourselves. Helen Ruth Baumgardner. Thirty-seven Thirty-eight THE CLASS 0F '31 We are the class of thirty-one, Studious, loyal, full of fun, With our banners hoisted high, Flying our colors in the sky. 'Tis with mingled joy and sorrow That we contemplate the morrowg For two of our High school years are And there are only two that last. For the friends that we have known, For the good times they have shown, For the teachers we have had We are thankful, we are glad.

Although more or less frightened at first, we were soon made to feel at euse by the friendly recpetion we received by the upper-classmen. We organized us 21 class for the year with Harold Thomas as president: Paul Baker us vice president, und Stanley Wnrren as secretary-treasurer. Each member of the class has endeavored to give his or her best to the school, und the results of these efforts have borne fruit in the fine chapel programs we have presented, in the field of athletics, and in the realm of music. Our girls have taken zi very prominent part in basketball und glee club work. Miss Gaeth has been our class advisor. With the aid of the faculty, Supt. Duncan, Mr. Nixon, Miss Gneth, Miss Higbie, Miss Damon, Miss Bower and Mr. Beaty, our first year of High school comes to ai close lenving us eager for the approach nf our Sophomore year. Maxine Pnrc.

Near the middle of the year, one dropped out, leaving us a class of twenty-three. V We have had five teachers this year-a new arrangement for us. They are: Miss Cass, Miss Beagle, Miss Highie, Mr. Smith and Mr. Bricker. With the help of our home-room teacher, Mr. Bricker, we formed a Rawson Junior Civic League with officers as follows: President, Kathryn Burkettep vice president, Paul Eddy: secretary, James Cramer. and treasurer, Mona Robinson. This league helped to make our year more successful and interesting. Our class led this year in the sale of Christmas seals. This entitled the eighth grade to free admission to the picture of Robin Hood which proved to be very inter- csting. Both the boys' and girls' basketball teams played a few games, the last of which brought victories to our class. During the year several debates took place against the seventh grade. This year has been very successful and we all hope to enter upon our first step in Rawson High school next September. Kathryn Burkett. CLASS POEM Now in my hnnd n pen I take To write a poem for grade number eight. First the teachers I shall discuss, For they have been much help to us. Then the pupils, twenty-three their mark, On the page of time will leave no mar. Some to great business affairs may take, And others, just plain, true citizens make. Marcella King. Forty-five Seventh Grade History On September 3, 1928, twenty-nine bright boys and girls entered the seventh grade. About the middle of the year we received a new student. We have four good teachers, they are as follows: Miss Cass, Geography and Hygiene, Miss Beagle, English and Sewing: Mr. Bricker, History and Hygiene, and Mr. Smith, Reading, Spelling, Civics, Arithmetic and Agriculture. Mr. Smith is our home room teacher. We have all tried very hard to get our lessons and to keep our room decorated with flowers and various kinds of pictures. This is the seventh grade's motto: lf there is a will, there is 2. way . We always try to carry out this motto. Our life is a school time, and till that shall end, With our Father in Heaven for teachers and friends, Oh, let us perform well each task that is given, Till our time of probation is ended in Heaven. Erma J ones. OUR CLASS We are the merry seventh grade, Just twenty-nine in numberg Sometimes we feel the teachers think, Our heads are made of lumber. When dear Miss Higbie comes to us, Our voices high we raiseg She breathes a sigh, and stands in awe, We all sound like Blue Jays. In Mr. Bricker's History class, We all are at attention, Then too, we feel Arithmetic's, A wonderful invention. In English and Geography, I'm sure we all excel, From such a class some day should rise, A president,-who can tell. Madelene Bushong. Forty-six ' h 1- 'Q - ' wr .

We are passing from Spring to Summer. We have felt the balmy breezes of Spring and with that the desire to do and to create. We will now start the process cf creating, while our life is in its summer season. A great many people refer to the first two seasons as the best part of our lives. Are they?'! No, each season in its place is the best. The Autumn of our life brings with it the beauty of the falling leaves, gray hair begins to crown our brows, we have a realization that our desires and hopes are being fulfilled. This is a beautiful season of our life, children and grand-children clustering about us. And that is the recompense of Autumn. Then breaks Winter. This is somewhat a stormy season in our life. Yet, if our lives have been true, then Winter will find us enjoying the fruits of our labors, the results of our dreams, and the calmness and satisfaction of knowing we have lived life ns life should be lived. Then with hopeful eyes we patiently wait for those hours when we can bid farewell to this old world and go forth unto new adventures in a new world. Thus we find Winter's recompense, in an old gray beard half dozing through the day, watching with joy his great-grand children play. C. A. H. lGAct7! In this day and age we hear many and various exhortations to act in the present and let the morrow take care of itself. Each day we must build a little to the structure of our character. We must not procrastinate, for the person who puts off 'till tomorrow is a n'er-do-wellg he gets no place, he barely holds his oum. Franklin had the heart of the idea when he charged each of us in the proverb: Never put off 'till tomorrow what you can do today . Tomorrow will have its own worries, joys, and sorrows, without giving it the burden of today's negligence. Longfellow struck a note that still rings true when he penned: Act-act in the living present Heart within and God o'ei-head. We must discharge our duties when they are first placed on our shoulders, for by continued negligence a small spark may grow into in huge conflagration. We cannot correct our errors too soon, for each day they are becoming more burdensome, and in our old age will put out the light of our life before it is due. We must not heedlessly rush into any matter. Each act should be carefully con- sidered: but since it is impossible to use time in careful thought before each act, we should try Fra.nklin's plan of checking up on ourselves at the end of each day, and be willing to take censure when censure is due. E. B. Fifty Music and Drama Two of the very high points of Rawson High School are Music and Drama. A great amount of extraordinary work has been done in this line of work this school year. Much interest was enthusiastically shown on both the part of the teachers and scholars, making achievement much more successful than usuzil. Adaptability in drama has been shown in the large number of successful productions this year. Ace High , an interesting: drama of love, development, comedy, and romance, produced by the Junior class, was given March S, and directed by Miss Gaeth. Its suc- cess showd their talents and gave them much pride, which puts their hopes on wings for next year. The Touch Down , rendered May 15, was a very fascinating play with plenty of actiong the last play given by the Senior class in Rawson High School, and was directed by Miss Damon and Mr. Nixon. Several short plays were given to the satis- faction of the school at different chapel periods during the year. At the starting of the school year last Fall the Glee Clubs were organized by Miss Higbie, their instructor. The Girls Glen Club elected Thelma Hiles, presidentg Mary E. Smith, vice president: Helen R. Baumgarilner, secretary: Alfriedn Bosse, treasurer, and LaVonne Otto, librarian. The Boys Glee Club voted for Harlow Redick, presidentg Harold Myers, vice president: Harold Rossman, secretary: Eugene Fox, treasurer, and Kenneth Baumgardner, librarian. A concert was given by both glee clubs February 12. The Girls Glee Club sang at McComb, and both Glee Clubs sang several times at P. T. A. The operetta College Days , was given by both glee clubs April 4. It was very well given and enjoyed by all who attended. New scenery was bought and some changes were made on the stage so as to have more room. Several different private teachers have been teaching here this year. Mrs. Beaty's elocution students have shown much advancement. Piano lessons were given by Miss Higbie and Mrs. Duncan. Mr. Ossman has conducted his class in wind instruments and has had success with the Orchestra. Zerel . I Fifty- one y R 1,-ve? i The Touch Down Senior Class Play The story takes place at Siddel, a co-educational college. Grant Hayden Qllaul Templel an honorable, ambitious chap in this college, is sculptoring a clay model 'The Hunter , so his brother Robert Hayden fltobert Lathamj may finish his course through college, since their father has gone bankrupt unknown to Bob. While Grant is laboring to finish this piece of work he is wanted by Coach Gene Clark fHarlow Redickj to play on the football eleven against Hinsdale,-the biggest game of the season. Grant refuses because he must finish his sculptoring to get money. Alfred Woolfe fJohn Burkettj, a dissipated football player who is jealous of Grant, gives false accounts of him bo Watassa Faulkner fSara Mae Trauchtb an Indian girl of the campus and football enthusiast. Due to these false stories, she is angry to think of Grant refusing to play on the team to win the game, destroys the clay mold of The Hunter . Robert takes the blame to shield Watassa. Grant is sick-at-heart, his aim was shattered. Watassa, feeling ashamed of herself for what she has done, poses for Grant so he might model her as an Indian maiden looking towards the Gate of the West . This wins the prize. He then turns to his old love and marries Rena Maynard 1Thelma Hilesj, a refined popular student of the college. Junior Brooks is a heavy-weight Sophomore lBurns Hartman? who worries about his fat , labors to win the love of Siddell Junior fVera Deckerl. George Holman QI-Iarold Rossmanj and Frank Mitchell fWayne Flick! are two football rooters of the college. Two other girls of the college are Dollie Sylvester 1Mildred Paynel and her twin sister Evelyn or Echo Sylvester fRhodn Marquartl who repeats everything her sister says. Miss Parmelee, the Dean's assistant lAlfrieda Bossej is a quick-tempered lady, always saying what she thinks and Henry Sumner, a young professor fHarlow Rauchj is the victim of her wiles. The play was coached by Miss Damon with Mr. Nixon as stage manager . Sara Mae Trnueht. Fi f ty-two Ace High Junior Class Play The action of this play revolves around a family whose riches name from fertilizer- er-rather-phosphates. The ambitious Mrs. Jones fGail Wolfox-dj and snobbish daughter, Gladys IMarve- line Youngl combine forces against the modern tongued, but old fashioned Mr. Jones, L0scar Musgrave, the son fM:11'ion Shankj and younger daughter, Kit QFlorence Denhartj. For the dual purpose of social eifeet and a. proposal to Gladys, Lord Ranleigh Utex Jacksonj is invited to the Jones homeg at the same time Mrs. Mnxiield CMargaret MeDoxrellJ is invited. A man, whose papers appear to confirm that he is Lord Ranleigh, is found uncon- scious by the gate tower. When he recovers he finds four facts: that Mrs. Maxfleld is bent on relieving the Jones' of their jewels, that the butler fWesley Augustine, is ditto, that Gladys stode two hundred and eighty dollars from Mrs. Maxfleld, and that he him- self is in love with Kit. Lord Ranleigh halts the get-away act of Mrs. Maxfield and the butler, at the some time he reveals his identity as Mack the Ace , crook, thief, and general good-for- nothing. He disappears as quietly as he came, but leaves the Jones family and himself much better than he found them. Gladys is furious, as is her mother, because Lord Ranleigh likes Kit, because Kit is in love with the garageman, QGail Youngj, and because the son loves the ga.rdner's daughter Utuby Heldmanj. The two latter Uhecomesv culminated in the usual fairy tale method, and theyilived happily ever after. Ultimate success of the play is due to the efforts of Miss Gaeth, and to the many liindnesses of those who gave freely of time and material things. Gail Wolford. Fifty-three K William Dean Coles .

He was very faithful, always being on duty. He is well liked by the community. The orchestra last year was composed of sixteen members, but because five gradu- ated, one left school and one discontinued, the membership was reduced to nine. These few faithful were not discouraged however, for they worked gallantly on proving to the community that quality and not quantity is essential. They made their first appearance at the Junior play. Four of the nine will graduate this year, leaving only live, but we wish them the hest of success for next year. ,Q E. L. Smith.

Mr. S. L. Beaty is now and has been in charge of this department for the past six years. This deportmnt was organized with an enrollment of seventeen students and has increased to an enrollment of sixty-one students: consisting of fourteen Seniors, fourteen Juniors, eighteen Sophomores, and fifteen Freshmen. This department offers Shop Work annually, Farm Engineering and Animal Husbandry being alternated with Soils and Management and Farm Crops , the former being taught this year. We wish this department prosperity and succcss in the coming years. Harlow Rauch. DOMESTIC SCIENCE CHOME ECONOMICSJ The Home Economics department under the supervision of Miss Alice Bower has rapidly increased. The number in the class is greater this year than that of previous years. Out of twenty-nine freshman girls, nineteen are taking Home Economies. Some men will be sure of good cooks . The Freshman class includes the study of foods and clothing. The Sophomores have studied dry cleaning, lnundrying, pressing, house furnishings, and the preparation of dinners, emphasizing salads and desserts. The Juniors and Seniors have studied nutrition, household management, child care, home nursing, and for textile work have made wool and silk dresses. Hot lunches have been served daily and are beneficial in that it gives all students something hot to eat each day. . The classes are working on their seventy-two hour projects. We are proud of the success of this department and as years pass we hope that it may continue to progress. Elizabeth Dicus.

Blanchard 0 Vanlue 0 Liberty 6 Arcadia 0 At the beginning of the season of '28 we found our ol' football mentor, Coach Nixon, back ready for business with new ideas in store, and a, determination for zz championship team. At his call twenty-flvc warriors reported, nine of which were letter men. After three weeks of hard, grueling practice, we started our march for the championship trophy. One factor in the success was the clean sportsmanship. Each played hard- grand stand stuff taboo -and the eleven worked as one machine. These fundamentals were well instilled by Coach Nixon. At the end of the season records showed that we had crossed our cnemy's goal thirty-seven times with our own crossed but twice which meant our championship hopes were realized. Sixty-four HARLOW REDICK, Senior-Halfbnck-Captain Redick was one of the speed merchants of the championship backfield. He was very alert and guided his team with the greatest care. He has played three years of football and his services will be missed very much in the coming year. PAUL CRAMER, Junior-End-Captain-elect Cramer was one of the finest wingmen in the county last season. He played hard aggressive ball and thus was chosen to lead the team of 1929. He has played two years. GAIL YOUNG, Junior?-Fullback Young was not only a good ball carrier but also a good defensive man. His long runs and line smashes were features of his play. Gail has one more year to play. HAROLD ROSSMAN, Senior--'Halfback Bill carried the ball but seldom, however, when he did the opposition had their wor- ries. Bill was a very good blocker and will be missed by the eleven. EUGENE FOX, Senior-Quarterback The signal calling of Fox was a valuable asset to the winning of the football cham- pionship last fall. He carried the ball seldom, but when he did he gained ground. This was Foxy's last year. CHALMERS DENHART. Junior-Center , Denhart playing his first year at this position was a very valuable man. l-lis greatest ambition was to break up the opponents' plays and he did, This was Butch's last year of play. n MARION SHANK. Junior-Guard Shank was an especially clean lineman always fulfilling his his part in making the holes for the ball carrier. He was likewise a good defensive man. He is going to get hack at Liberty next year. RICHARD THOMAS, Sophomore-Guard Thomas playing his Hrst season worked hard and soon became a iegular. He was xv. bulwark of defense and was a regular ball hawk. His ball hawking helped to beat Van Buren. OSCAR MUSGRAVE. Junior--Guard Musgrave was an especially aggressive line man, making himself known to his opposition before the game was in progress long. He has one more year to play at Rawson. GORBY EWING, Senior-Center Corby was a valuable man at most every position. He tried most every position Llirough the season. This was his last year after three years of service. KENNETH BAUMGARDNER, Senior-Tackle ' Kenny was that big tackle that guarded the left side of the line. He was as good one time as another. His spirit was an especially commendable feature of his playing. This was Kenneth's last year. FRANCIS BAUMGARDNER, Jullinr-Tackle Francy was one of the big boys of the line that did not say much but what he did was worthy of mention. He has played for three seasons and will be back with us next season. Sixtyefive SEPTENIBER 20th HOWARD CRIST, Senior-End Crist was an end of note, being u sure tackler, and a good all-around player. l-le played his last game for Ruwson High last fall. PAUL TEMPLE, Senior--End Temple won his letter in the final game of the season, that being his first. He was a hard working: player. l-Ie played but one season for the school. HONORABLE MENTION should be given the following men although they were not letter men they helped to build the team that won the Hancock County Football Championship. They are Ralph Redick, Sophomore, line many Floyd Thomas, line man, and Harold Blosser, line man. HANCOCK COUNTY FOOTBALL SCHEDULE FOR 1929 OCTOBER 18th Arcadia at Mt. Cory Mt.

Redick, Musgrave, Temple, Coach Beaty. Under the able and efficient coaching of Mr. Beaty the boys are winning their games this year. Having won the championship last year wc hope to do as well his year although we have a number of games to play before this season closes. PITCHER Ralph Redick. This is Redick's first year at pitching. He hus plenty of stuff and keeps the batters puzzled with his fast curves. He is a. hard hitter. He has two more years at Rawson. CATCHER Merritt Rossman. Jeff, the smallest member of the team, holds his place back ot the bat and we will have to admit he is hard to beat, Jeff has two more years for R. H. S. FIRST BASE Harold Rossmon. Bill with his curly hair was the idol of the fans fcspecinlly thc fair sexj. It took Bill with his snappy playing to keep a man from getting on first. Bill is also a good hitter. This is the fourth und last year for him und he is leaving :L position hard to fill. SECOND BASE Gail Young. His wonderful qualities at second base were discovered eztrly this season. He scoops up everything' that comes his way. He is a good hitter and he will be with the team next year. Sixty-seven THIRD BASE Floyd Thomas. This is the first year for Thomas on the team. Although the game is new to him he is learning fast and proves to be a valuable player. He will be with us next year. SHORT STOP Harlow Redick. This is Rediclds fourth year on the team. He has all the determine ation it takes to make a good player. Besides his ability to nab all the hot grnunders he can also pitch and hit. He leaves a position hard to fill. RIGHT FIELD Kenneth Baumgardner. Ken holds right field position on the team and in addi- tion to his ability to pick the high ones out of the air he is a hard hitter. This is his fourth year of service to the team who will miss him next year. CENTER FIELD Harold Blosser. Blosser with his ability to cover a lot of ground holds center field position. I-Ie can also do his stuff at bat and will continue to do so next year. LEFT FIELD Oscar Musgrave is the guardian of left field where he sure can pick the high ones out of the air. Even if he is not a heavy hitter he faces the pitcher with a smile. Oscar will be seen on the lot next year. HONORABLE MENTION Wesley Augustine, Paul Temple, Francis Baumgardner, Dahl Wallace, Eugene Hiles, Marion Shank, Gerald Neff, and Thomas Jones need to be mentioned for the time and effort spent with the team. Although they were not on the Varsity they offered it plenty of tough opposition which is highly essential to the success of a base ball team. Sixty-eight -Z-T-f--+--fm- f I I f fl !

Bnumgardner, Hiles, Captain Denhort, Young, Emery. The girls basketball season started with an unexperienced squad. Under the tute- lage of a new coach the squad developed quite rapidly. At the First call Conch Cass had twenty-two candidates report. Each and every one worked with the greatest of interest and enthusiasm for the purpose of gaining a posi- tion on the team. The team finished the league season with three wins, one tie, and four defeats. The outstanding feature of the season was the defeat of Ada, xx Class A school. Another feat of note was the tie with Vanlue in the semi-finals of the County Tournament. The squad consisted of Florence Denhart, Captain: Marveline Young, Captain-elect: Arleta Young, Thelma Hiles, Mary Eloise Smith, Norma Emery, Marjorie Powell, Kathryn Westall, Arlene Reichley, Alice Schrier, Doris Woodruff, and Helen Ruth Bnumgardner.

Seventy FLORENCE DENHART Junior-Captain-Guard With Pete's faithful and loyal leadership she guided her team through victory and defeat. She was always ready to Fight and encourage her mates, May she keep this up! She has played seasons '28 and '29. THELMA HILES Senior-Forward and Center T. H., the only Senior on the team, gave her best to R. H. S. to the end. Along with her excellent team work she could be count- ed on to register points in time of need. She carries four coveted R's with her. ARLENE REICHLEY Sophomore Arlene was up and going, ready to help the temn thirty-two minutes every game. She seldom lost the tip-off She played seasons '28 and '29. May she add '30 and '31, NORMA EMERY Sophomore-Guard The fiery hard-fighting guard. Seldom did a forward elude her. She has played two years with two more to go. ARLETA YOUNG Junior-Guard Ai-leta's first year on the varsity was one of steady growth in the learning of the game. At the end of the season she was very valuable to the team and next year will see her more than ready to do her best. MARVELINE YOUNG Junior-Center-Capt.-elect This tall sturdy center, though just start- ing her basketball career, gave her best to Rawson. She will be back next year in the role of captain. MARY ELOISE SMITH Sophomore-Forward Smitty was a consistent forward, an accurate passer :md a tosser with a keen eye for the basket. With two years of ex- perience she should help Rawson to the top of the league in '30 and '31. . ...r f' . tj '- -v . 5 A tid' -JJ! it ff .

In this squad there were nine veterans. The season was n reasonably successful one, having a total of eight wins out of fourteen games. In the league season we won five out of eight games. Outstanding wins were over Ada, si Class A school, and the Findlay Cnllepre reserves. For the second successive season the boys were defeated in the tournament in the first round by Arcadia in an overtime period. The offensive and defensive work nf the team was especially commendable and much comment was received by the team for their work. Of the squad not receiving letters, honorable mention should be given Rohert Anderson and Wesley Augustine, for their fine spirit. Seventyethree H7-A Qnp an ff X. my 'N s in 1' ' V ' mu 42' F Y .

His cool heady work as captain was a great asset to his team. After his fourth year of service he leaves us. GORBY EWING Senior-Center The Big Boy was of value in both oifensive and defensive play. His height bothered many a team and strengthened his own. Rawson must look for another rangy lad next year as Gorby finishes his fourth year. EUGENE FOX Senior-Guard Gene , the lad who was able to take a guard position at any time, deserves much credit for the showing of the team. He graduates after four years of playing. KENNETH BAUMGARDNER Senior-Guard Ken, was a reliable sub in that he had the do or die spirit. Carrying two letters he leaves us this year. CHALMERS DEN!-IART Junion-Forward Bus was a boy with a keen eye for the basket. He worked well with the team and put up a good defensive game. We lose Bus this year after two years of service. ROBERT LATHAM Senior-Forward Bob sure could hit that hoop and his passing and speed as well made him a valu- able asset to the team. He graduates this year after three seasons. GAIL YOUNG Junior-Guard-Captain-elect Brigham was a hard worker and a de- pendable guard. His occasional long shots helped to weaken the opponents' defense. This was his second year and he has been awarded the captaincy for next year. ERDENE DENNIS Junior-Forward Dems played in several games this year where he proved himself to be a hard fighter. He could also secure points in time of need. May he be back next year and continue his good work. in , THE' SEASON 1928-1929 McComb Northwestern, Lima Mt. Cory Arlington Bluffton Van Buren Mt.
