We wish it to be a real echo of the student life of our High School career. , And as we leave its shady walls we wish the echo to rebound to us with the joy of the bygone days. For the theme of our annual We have chosen Spanish design. Just as the Spanish Bull fights rank among the major sports, We feel that our High School holds a very important part in our lives. We feel that our student life should be a cherished memory in days to come. Although words and pictures are far too mean- ingless to express our lives as a studentg we sincerely hope that when turning these pages they will reflect the happenings so clearly that we shall wish to live them over again. 1 9 '- nnmun mlll--H Dedication The class of Nineteen Hundred Thirty in sincere appreciation of sacrifices made and sympathetic encourage- ment given gratefully dedicates this Echo to Our Parents and Teachers.

Colleges vary also in their methods of admission: a few demand examination in the high-school-subjects. while the majority admit without examination upon certificate of the principal of the school. In most instances definite attainments in high-school scholarship are demanded. While. broadly speaking, the graduates of most of the courses in the high schools of Ohio meet these conditions, it is very important that students, parents and teachers discuss the matter and determine what subjects are needed and desired as early as possible in the student's high-school career. Numerous registrars of colleges have written the State Department of Education stating that students come to their doors who have not taken the proper high school units. In most cases these unfortunate situations could have easily been avoided. The following is taken from the Transactions of the Ohio College Association. It should prove helpful: The Ohio College Association insists that its members require of students entering the College of Liberal Arts for as often called the College of Arts, Sciences and Lettersj, in which the student enters for purely academic degrees 'of Bachelor of Arts and Bachelor of Science, at least twelve units from the following so-called Standard Units: English, 3 or 4 units. Physics fwith labl, 1 unit. Algebra, 1 01' 155 units- Chemistry fwith labj, 1 unit. i3f,iiiietii1Q1'iltY'i 1'I.ii'. Botany' POT ge unf- Trigonometryy E unit.

Foreign Language 1Lat1n, Creelg, French, Phvsical Geography, 1 or yi unit, German, Spanishj 2 to 6 units, if only 2, G 1 S . 1 .t they shall be in the same language. were 'Hence' um ' Of these so-called Standard Units the following nine shall be required of all: English, 3 units. Mathematics, 2 units. American History and Civics, I unit. A Laboratory Science tpreferably Physics, or Chemistryj, 1 unit. A Foreign Language, 2 units. The three units required for entrance above the twelve standard units mentioned above may be presented from the list of so-called standards mentioned abvove or from any of the following: subjects: ill Fine Arts. Q31 Household Arts. C27 Industrial Arts. f4J Commercial Subjects. Q53 Agriculture. After a careful study of the above requirements and the Courses of Study offered in Rawson High School, it is. possible with careful planning and good scholar- ship to enter any college in the state and many others after graduation. Although only fifteen f15J units are needed for college entrance, sixteen f16j are needed for high school graduation. Regardless of what course of study is being followed each pupil must before graduation complete two majors of three units each and two minors of two units each. A major may count as a minor if so desired. The following are satisfactory major groups and two units of any group of three, will serve as a minor: 3 units of English 3 units of Social Studies 3 units of Foreign Language 3 units of Natural Science 3' units of Mathematics 3 units of Commercial Studies 3 units of Vocational Studies Sixteen so . .... . L El ................................................................................................................ .........E' Seniors Behind the Class of '30 lie happy days of fellowship together, long days filled with tasks to be done, hours' dull with detail, and hours sparkling with fervor for new glimpses taken or consciousness of growing accomplish- ments. Before them stretch broad fields of infinite possibilities for self-development, enjoyment, and service, with the world looking expectantly to them, each one, for their contributions. Pride, gratitude, and 21 pang of loss figure in our leave-taking. May these times past and these old pals grow dearer as memory blends them with new ones and may time give of its best to the Class of '30. lil Seventeen ,. yr .... M....

Our journey as Freshmen was at times very dull and toilsorne, although we were welcomed to school by the upper classmen we felt out of place. This was a large obstacle to overcome but we managed to get along with good speed. Our Band, the first year, was under the leadership of Florence Solt, President, Marcus De Wese, Vice President, Ruby Heldman, Secretary and Mr. Beaty Class Sponsor. For our motto we chose, Nothing is gained without work. A few of our members participated in Athletics and several in the Glee Clubs. The Band after a few months delay, started on its journey again. As Sophomores we retained Mr. Beaty as Class Sponsor, Ruby Heldman, President, Dorothy Gossrnan, Vice President, and Garnet Beucler, Secretary-Treasurer. This year more of our numbers participated in Athletics and Glee Clubs. By this time weihad lost most of our bashfulness and we journeyed on with a greater speed. The fall of '28 the travelers. again pulled stakes and wa kept on with our journey as Juniors. Some of our numbers as Freshmen and Sophomores left us while a few new ones joined us. This time Wesley Augustine was chosen President, Florence Solt, Vice President, Marcus De Wese, Secretary-treasurer, Mr. Beaty still our Class Sponsor. Several boys and girls aided materially in Athletics and in Glee Club. The Junior Class Play entitled Ace High, was a great success. The last lap of our journey as high school students opened' in the fall of l29. We got off to a Hying start by electing Florence Denhart, President, Ruby Heldman, Vice President, Henry Vogel, Secretary-treasurer and our good old class adviser still staying by us to the last. This year saw the backbone of all school activities composed of Seniors. Although some of our Band left us along the wayside, a few new ones have joined us and we are forty-one strong, which is the largest Class that ever graduated from R. H. S. And now, as we leave these protecting walls of good ol' Rawson, we wish the future classes to enjoy the success which: we have enjoyed. Wesley Augustine. Twenty-six 45 X NIE 1....... Senior Class Poem The golden freedom of our youth has been Full days of joy, of sunshine-and of guest Which has no tolerence for what is best, But only for the vict'ries we can wing With dreams of future skill and wisdom in Our minds, we tarried, and carefree, did rest Until the urge of Duty should invest Our latent souls with power to begin. As we approach this crossroad in our lives We ask-Will there be sunlit paths like those Traversed before, or: rain-black roads, grief-pent? The glamour of the yet-to-be survives., Adventure will be oursg at length, repose, When we shall sit in peaceful-eyed content. -Florence Solt.

By power of attorney, Marcus De Wese Witness-Henry Vogel Thomas Duncan Floyd Cook Gerald Neff Twenty-eight V- 164 --umm m-m Senior Class Prophecy May first, 1962, thej dayf, of days and the month of months. For thirty-two years the class of 1930 had held a May Day breakfast together, and recounted the accomplish- ments of its members. This year we were meeting in the Universe Hotel, at Sunshine, Mars. May I pause just long enough to say, that Marcus De WGSS had invented an Air-'Travel-car which had made this event possible, so here we are, in the land of super men and women, the land of mental, moral and spiritual perfection. After the breakfas.t hour was over we retired to the spacious lounging room and began the annual review. And what a review it proved itself to be, and what revelations manifest themselves to us on this momentous occasion. First may I start with Marcus, just mentioned above. After leaving school he became interested in aeronautics andbegan' a series of tests, at last accomplishing the marvel of the age in a. travel-car with which one can easily visit all the planets of the solar system, and in an extremely short time. The machine is capable of making a million miles a minute, without danger or inconvenience. We were informed that a company had just been organized, to be known as the Universal Air Transport Company, and that regular schedules were to be maintained between all the planets and the earth. Marcus is President and general manager: Robert Anderson, general flight commanderg Erdene Dennis, Vice-Presidentg and Chalmers Denhart, secretary-treasurer. Eugene Hiles is superintendent of air-ways and air-ports, General headquarters is at Sunshine, Mars where a luxurious suite of offices covering many acres is main- tained. The company is capitalized at S50,000,000,000 all owned in equal parts by the officers of the company. ' Further revelations showed that Gail Young and Wesley Augustine were pro- prietors of the Universe Hotel, which welcomed millions into the circle of its hos- pitality every year and from every planet in the universe. The yearly business is said to run into the trillions' of dollars. Esther Blymyer and Florence Denhart, as Mrs. Gail Young and Mrs. Wesley Augustine respectively are enjoying fame and fortune in conjunction with their husbands. Oscar Musgrave and Henry Vogel are co-patentees of a new rubber ,growing process by which they grow tires for Travel-cars all ready to mount. They are under contract to furnish twelve million tires per year to the Universal Air Transport Company, besides other millions for privately owned pleasure cars. Frederick Hower and Stanley Ream are partners in a sandwich ranch with branches at all airports along the line of travel. They have automatic machines. into which one dumps a few bushels of wheat, drives in a few hogs, cows, or dogs, according to the grade of meals to beg served, and the machines turn out delicious hot sandwiches rcady to eat and individually wrapped and packed. Florence Solt is the owner of a process whereby one may receive a University degree together with a most marvelous and liberal education by taking a little tablet after meals three times a day, for a week. Margaret McDowell and Pauline Dever are operating a beauty parlor on the planet Venus. They have a patented process by which you can grow curly or straight hair, marcelled, Hnger waved, shingled or bobbed in the latest style, by simply being seated under a special light for eleven seconds. The prices are very reasonable at S500 per second. Marveline Young is to spend the summer on a recently discovered, planet teaching the natives thej art of self improvement and physical development. Eugene Smith is heading an expedition this summer for the exploration of the Twenty-nine . p-4. mmm mnm rivers on the moon, and the securing of specimen fish for the Smithsonian Institute branch in Sunshine, Mars. Mr. and.Mrs. Gerald Neff fBernita Omanj are in charge of a party for the social uplift of the inhabitants of the planet Neptune. They are having difficulties in teach- ing the art of modern dress. Kathryn Steinman is private secretary to the King of the province of personal perfection on the planet Venus. Ruby Heldman is reported to be engaged to marry the Prince of that same realm. La Vonne Marquart, consulting engineer on the construction. of special hosiery for corpulent women, with the firm of Gossman and Beucler, 223 East Broadway, Sun- shine, Mars, is reported to have under consideration a change of firms. You will recognize the firm name for that of Dorothy Gossman and Garnet Beucler of the class of '30. Floyd Cook is traveling passenger agent for the Air Transport Company, and they say he is some traveler. Mr. and Mrs. Marion Shank fEmma Rauchj are keepers of the curio depart- ment of ancient historical research. They have on display two old maids from the realms of earth, Arleta Young and Treva. Deeds. Millions throng the halls every day to view these rare specimens. Floyd Thomas and Rex Jackson are chief scenic artists with the World Zoo Co., in charge of the department which has for its chief occupation the painting of stripes on zebras. Paul Cramer is cruising among the star group of Orion this summer, gathering data on the defunct civilization of the year of 1930. Francis Bumgardner and Harold Blosser are just perfecting a machine for which they recently received a protecting patent. It is a permanent wave machine for Airdale dogs. They expect to make a fortune from their invention. Gertrude Brauneller and Carolyn Miller are chief feminine designers for the arts and drapery department of th firm that furnishes interior decorations for Travel-cars, They are said, to be the most proiicient in the Universe. Evelyn Dutton and Evelyn Wolber are conducting a vocal gymnastic conserv- atory on the planet Uranus. It is the most sparsely settled of all the planets so there are fewer who will suffer by their operations. Marie Smith is president of the Smith association of the universe, such associ- ation including such famous members as Black, Tin, and Cough Drop. Her salary is said to run into the millions. At the close of a perfect day I was whisked back to old mother earth in lesls than eleven seconds , including stops for traffic lights and change of tires. The day had been profitably spent, and the comparison had shovsm me how common place was myfprofessionl as a humble writer of historical progress. -Frances Carter Thirty ., 9, , in 8 Valedictory ATTAINMENT OF SUCCESS Tonight the curtain falls at the end of another act in the lives of the members of this graduating class. As it descends, closing four years in High School, we wonder what the future has in store for us. Everyone of this class has high hopes of scaling the ladder of success. So it is well forlus, now to consider how this may best be obtained. The first thing to consider in your outline for reaching the height of success is to have a definite goal in view, for without something to aim at you would be drift- ing on the sea of life. Even if this goal is never reached you may be. successful for as Wordsworth says, A Noble Aim Faithfully kept, is as a Whole Deed. ' It is far betterrto aim high and fall short of the mark than to drift aimlessly through life. ' 'E Decide upon your destination before you select your mode of travel. For you certainly would not want to embark without any idea as to the landing place. No matter what your work may be, do, it well- and when opportunity comes your way! be prepared for it. As great men do: not live forever, why not be ready to take their places? You can do thisi if you do your work well, keeping in View your goal, striving day by day to reach it. President Hayes once said, To achieve success and fame, you must pursue a special line. Become a specialist. No man can succeed who has not a fixed and resolute purpose in his mind and an unwavering faith that he' can carry out that purpose. Steadfast Application to a Fixed Aim, is' the law of a well spent life. It made Priestley a. great chemistg Grant, a great generalg Lincoln, a, great statesman, Turner, a great painter, Bentley, a great scholar and Macaulay, a great historian. Look at a ship, becalmed without a pilot, with sluggish sails flapping against the mast, swayed alternately by wind and tide, ever in motion, and yet never nearer its destined, port. Just such is the irresolute man. Every breeze that blows makes him its sport, and every turn of the tide of a fortune drags him helplessly along in its current. Buh see the same ship with all its sails bent, a prosperous wind urging it on, the pilot att the helm, the seamen ready, each ad his appointed post of duty, and the rude ocean yields to its prow, and flings up its spray unheeded and harmless on its sides. As Carlyle says, A Man Without Purpose is no man. You must have your purpose in life .but no matter how' high that may be you can never hope to reach it unless you work. You must do your work day by day for if you leave to-day's work for to-morrow you will' take from to-morrow the chance it could have given you for advancement. Now, Classmates, as we leave here let us aim high remembering oun class motto, Nothing is Gained Without Work, and so order our lives that our teachers efforts and our parents co-operation may not have been in vain. iLaVonne Marquart Thirty-one . Q 'y silt? QE, .m..m .-- Salutatory Graduation is a momentous occasion in our livesi It marks for us the attainment of an, ideal-the educational ideal set up for us by our parents and community. Civilization has progressed by the attainment of ideals? and the setting up of new ones to be striven for. A century ago, the ideal of a community in establishing a school was mainly knowledge gained from books. In those days men thought of education as a means of preserving the past. Ideals have changed. Today, while not minimizing the lessons of the past, education! looks more and more to the improving of the future. Our parents and teachers have not been content that we should have merely a knowledge of past deeds and successes-they have provided for our future use- fulness by giving us practical training in school. Agriculture and Home Economics courses prepare students for their places in the communityg special workf in the arts and sciences lays' an foundation for those who wish to follow professions or trades: while classes in government prepare us to take up our duties as citizens of our own nation and oil the world. Through our twelve years spent in school we have learned thaij work is neither a tragedy nor a comedy, but arf opportunity. As we finish our Highi School course and go out into the world to assume re- sponsibilities, or to continue our training for some special work, we shall face a world vastly different from that of a generation ago. New ideals must be formed. Until now the institutions of civilized life have been largely a matter of chance or accident. To-morrow faces the challenge of a planned life, not only for the individual but for the state, the nation, and the world. All through the ages Man has struggled for power. Now that his struggle has been so abundantly rewarded, may not the center of gravity shift instead to the struggle fon light, with its wider fellowships, its high enthusiasms for beauty and truth? We have been bequeathed and have reaped the benefits of the ideals of former generations. It has now become our duty and privilege to help in the creation of new ideals-ideals of mutual good-will and service in the common interest, which we hope will promotef the cause of international understanding and peace. In grateful recognition of the help and encouragement given us by our parents teachers, and friends, the class of 1930 welcomes you to-night. -Florence Solt Thirty-two I 11, ...... .... .........

H. S., entered thd assembly, lWe, the class of '31, were full of egotism and courage, believing ourselves to be so many child prodigies waiting for the doors of opportunity to open. But alas! when the first'tests came we met the enemy, and we were theirs. This only served to show us our inexperience and we plunged, ahead with renewed vigor, choosing Marccne Kimble, President, Forest Neal, Vice-President, Evelyn Pifer, Secretary, Merritt Rossrnan, Treasurer, Miss Damon, Sponsor. We participated, in all athletic activities, and in both glee clubs. At the-1' end of the year we came out Witli colors flying, which, by the way, are crimson and silver. As Sophomoreq We had lost much of our egotism but none oil our lcourage. Dale Wallace was chosen President, Ralph Redick, Vice-President, and Marjorie Powell, Sec.-Treas. Again' we are even more in the limelight, furnishing several main charac- ters for the operetta, one pianist, and a large part of the chorus, several football heroesg and five girls who carried 0E basketball letters. In this, our Junior year, we have been faithful as before to our stonefgrind- stonej, willingly, Qhaving learned that this is the only way to advance. From our num- ber were again chosen main characters and choruses for the operetta, pianists for both glee clubs, and our atheletes again starred. Norma Emery, was President, Evelyn Pifer, Vice-President, Helen R. Baumgard- ner, Secretary, and Ralph Redick, Treasurer. With the cooperation of the faculty, all our activities, especially The Charm School and the Junior-Senior! Reception have been successful. Our talent is excellent and our chapel programs have always been of superior quality. We are coming back next year with our motto, The past forever gone, the future still our own, uppermost in our minds. MARTHA WILLIAMS Thirty-foufr U '.

SOPHOMORE CLASS HISTORY In September, of 1928, forty-seven Freshies walked into the gates of Rawson High School. We were initiated at the beginning of the term, and were made to feel welcome in the school. A meeting was called in October, of 1928, and we placed the destiny of our class in the hands of Harold Thomas, President, Paul Baker, Vice-President, and Stanley Warren, Secretary-Treasurer. We took part in athletics, Glee Club work and chapel programs. The remainder of the year we devoted to hard study because we realized that it was necessary to build a solid foundation for the coming years. Yes indeed! In September, 1929, the former Freshies of '28, returned to Rawson High as Sophomores to carry on the various tasks they had begun, with Stanley Warren, President, Harold Thomas, Vice-President, Lavonne Otto, Secretary, and Ruth Pifer, Treasurer. Although we were sorry to lose a few of the members of our class, we were glad to welcome five new ones, they areg Beatrice Murray, Mary Miller,gWiley Hilty, Carlos Poe, and Dana Foltz. We took part in athletics again this year, and theclass is Well represented in the Glee Club. We are proud to say that two members of our class had leading parts in the Operetta. Other members are included among the members of the chorus. We also took an active part in the chapel programs, with Miss Gaeth still acting as ourclass- advisor. We hope she continues to hold this office until the end of 1932. With a mind to think and a hand to execute we will Paddle our own, canoe, the remaining two years through the sea of education.

Freshmen The Freshmen this year have distinguished them- selves by evincing occasionally promising features over and above those well recognized as being characteristic of any healthy, normal first year high school class-Vere dure and innocence. These additional qualities may be appreciated by checking over their participation in musical, athletic, and scholastic activities in which fields they have rivaled their more mature associates.

Walter gi ini 4 The Seventh and Eighth Grades The enthusiasm and forward looking attitude of the seventh and eighth grades has spurred the high school to constant progress and kept them at their best. They have it would seem, an inexhaustible supply of that dynamic something We call pep. Every school project has had their eager help. The upper grades have enjoyed the advantages of the departmental system along with special work in music, art, and physical training. The excellent potentialities of this group are viewed fondly and with hope by those Whose vital interest lies in the welfare and advancement of our school. May we have the pleasure of seeing every eighth grade graduate enroll next fall as a full-fledged Frosh. ml? lil Forty-five W Eighth Grade History This is P. A. Bricker announcing over station R. Jr. H. fRawson Junior Highi, broadcasting over a frequency of twenty nine bright boys and girls, of which Charles Orwick was the only one to leave us. The following are the Market Reports: In September we drafted a constitution for our class. The amendments were composed of facts stating that each pupil would help to keep the room clean, and would have a new duty every two weeks.. We held our class meetings the first Friday in every month. At the first meeting we organized our Class as follows: Pres. Harold Young, Vice-Pres. Doris Nash, Sec. Faith Bryson, and Treas. Doris' Baldwin. Our Emblem was the Eagle, our class colors, Red and Blue, our Motto, We'll find our way or make it. During the year we held class parties, and marshmallow and weiner roasts, which were enjoyed by all. We all regret leaving the Eighth Grade, and Mr. Bricker says he dreads to see us go. But never-the-less, we have fulfilled our places, and as Time rushes on, we must follow into a. new year of High School Work. Doris Baldwin. Phyllis Auten, Faith Bryson Seventh Grade History One bright autumn day in the September of 1923 about 28 shy little boys and girls in gay hair ribbons and the boys with their hands in their first! pair of pockets marched into Rawson School for their first adventure into the educational Held. Many of them were shy at first but their first teacher, Miss Joyce Romick, soon made them feel at home in their new environment. After lisping out their phonetics and new words and learning arithmetic tmainly by handy they passed into the second grade with Miss Grace Hauman as their teacher. By the time these youngsters reached the third grade they had lost much of the shy- ness with which they had entered the field of learning and felt quite scholarly as they mastered the Utimes tablesi' under the instruction of Miss Margaret Burket. 'l'heir fourth grade teacher was Miss Flick. By this time there had been a few changes in the class. Several pupils had moved away and they had welcomed some new member into their class. When they reached the fifth grade they felt that they had reached a great milestone in their career for they might proudly march up stairs as their older brothers and sisters did. Miss Keith was their fifth grade teacher. The sixth grade had a new thrill for these budding celebrities-the Work was departmentalized and the old routine with one teacher was thrown aside for adventures with four teachers. Their new teachers were Mr. Bricker in History, Mr. Smith in Arithmetic, Miss Cass in Geography and their home room teacher Miss Beagle in English. When they reached the seventh grade they felt that they were nearing the realization of their dreams of High School. Two new teachers took charge of part of their classes. Miss Wheland was their English teacher and Miss Ballinger, their home room teacher, attempted to unravel the mysteries of the upper grade mathematics to them. There have been changes in the class. The members of the original 1923 class which now are in the seventh grade arc: Mabel Solt, Henrietta Zuercher, Marie Urban, Dorothy Gibson, Mary Ewing, Martha Poe, Franklin Zoll, Paul Reel, Norman King, Lyle Hiles, Elmer Hartman, Thomas Fox, Harold Boehm, George Folk. There are now 37 members to this class. Their first teachers would hardly recognize her tiny pupils if she should visit a seventh grade class. But we hope that all of our teachers could see some results for their teaching eforts and could note progress in the education of this class.

Very capable instructors were secured in this extra-Curricular activity, thus placing us on an almost equal level with larger schools. Pupils have shown great talent in the several annual productions. The first one of the season was the operetta, Hu1da of Holland, presented by both Girl's and Boy's Glee Clubs, April 3. The Glee Clubs were organized at the beginning of the school year under thesupervision of Mrs. Geist, instructor of the Glee Clubs. The Girl's Glee Club elected Helen Ruth Baumgardner, presidentg Marjorie Powell, vice presidentg Marveline Young, secretaryg Maxine Pore, treasurerg Mary Eloise Smith, accompanistg Martha Williams, assistant accompanist, and Margaret McDowell and Norma Emery, librarians. The Boy's Glee Club elected Ralph Redick, presidentg Paul Cramer, vice-presidentg Rex Jackson, secretary and treasurer. Mary Eloise Smith was also accompanist for the Boys Glee Club. The Glee Clubs sang in chapel and at P. T. A. a number of times. The Charm School, a drama of life in a girl's school, with young men as instructors, was given by the Junior class on April 25. Miss Damon ably directed the production. The Senior Class play,,the second and last to be given by the class during' their High School career, was presented to a largd audience May 14. This comedy of love and romance was coached by Miss Gaeth. The Latin classes, gave a one act play 'A Day Without Latin' at the last session of the Pl T. A.

Several Latin songs were sung by the Latin classes at the same P. T. A. The eighth grade entertained the students of the High School in Chapel one afternoon by giving a one act play, 'Cora's Callers. The Sophomore Class presented a short three act play, Valentine Heart Throbs, written and directed by Maxine Pore. The cast included Clifford Ketzenbarger, Beulah Temple, Beatrice Murray, Carlos Poe, Leota Mc Clish, Dorothy Young, Thomas Jones, Iris Morehouse, Lavonne Otto, Velma Borkosky, Mary Jane Smith, Gertrude Marquart, Evelyn Eddie, Carl Wolford and Paul Baker.

Meanwhile, Marcia Wargrim fGamet Beuclerb humiliates Bob by her un- warranted demands for his attentions. Peggy, through Jud, lends money to Bob to pay what he owes to Wargrim. Bruner's Factory burns, and Bob prints a startling extra which defiantly exposes Wargrim's vicious business methods. In this, Bob is enthusiastically assisted by Peggy, by his younger sister, Virgy CFlorence Soltj, Jimmy, Jud, and Mrs. Nelson Dodd QMarve1ine Youngj, president of the Uplift Society. When Wargrirn returns the next morning there is intense excitement and activity in Eureka. He finds that Bob is no longer obligated to him, and that Peggy is really the daughter of his brother, whom he had defrauded forrmany years. With the debt paid, Bob and Peggy find happiness.

Elsie Benedotti, the heroine, neice of Homer Johns, and president of Senior Class, is stricken with love at first sight of Mr. Bevans. Miss Hays, one of the teachers, is a regular manhater, although she must confess she did think quite a lot of Mr. Johns. Miss Curtis, a perfectlyf divine old maid who adores most men, is another teacher who is always trying to think well of the Senior Class. Sally Boyd, George's sister and the twins' adored dream girl, along with Muriel Doughty, Ethel Spelvin, Alix Mercier fthe little French girly Lillian Staford, Madge Kent and Charlotte Gray, make up the rest of the Senior Class. We must not forget little Dotsie, a Junior friend, who is always in the way of the Seniors.

The Freshmen class work includes the canning of fruits and vegetables, making of towels and kitchen, holders, the study of flax and cotton, 'in preparation for the making of laboratory aprons, a breakfast series under which is the serving of a model breakfast, making of Christmas gifts and a luncheon. The Sophomores have studied preserving, jelly making, renovation of materials which includes laundering cleaning and pressing, the making of a wool dress, Christmas gifts, a dinner series which includes the sewing of a model dinner, and house planning, furnishing and management. The Juniors have studied the renovation of materials, made over problems, making a new wool dress. under which we learned the newest and most approved manner of binding seams, putting in sleeves, and hemming, historic costumes were very interesting in that it showed the relationship of past styles to those of the present day, and child care all of which will help us in later life. New arrangements in the kitchen were made by the state supervisor to make the preparation and serving of hot lunches easier and more scientific. The classes are working on their seventy-two hour projects for? which they receive one-fourth credit. We have had ai very successful year and sincerely hope that the coming years will be as profitable. Kathryn Winkler. Six ty-one .. gi '. Editorials As we graduate from High School we realize we are to undertake the responsi- bilities of life as we never have known them. We have emerged from a great wilderness in which we encountered many dif- ficulties and experiences from which we have profited. We are looking across a great open space which seems to have no ending. It offers unlimited opportunities for us to grasp. These opportunities go to make up industry in which we must all do our part. When we entered upon our High School life we looked upon graduation as some remote future, but now we look upon the past four years as only yesterday. If we are to be successful in our life's work, we must consider our class motto and always keep it in mind, Nothing is gained, without work. E. H. S. FINISH This year 119309 sees the completion of our High School Life. For our teachers. we wish to extend our thanks for their kindly tolerance of failure to respond in classwork as we should, and of our behavior which as Seniors was hardly excusable. But knowing that teachers are naturally kind in spirit, and sometimes fin moments of weaknessj even human. We sincerely hope, and expect to be forgiven. Whether these four years have given us anything to be pleasantly remembered in social, physical, or scholastic attainment depends not only upon our ovsm ability, but also upon those who helped us to find the way when things were not always as they might have been. One mission of this year book is to bring back again those incidents which whether they were monotonous or thrilling painful or fray, nevertheless bring more regret than joy because of being over. If memories of Rawson High do ever grow dim we hope that in this book will be found a symbol of what High School was to us and how dear and near to the heart are those four years spent in harmony and contact with friends who shall not be forgotten. , as F.

In the comparative inactivity of our work-a day school life sports play an: unique part. They combine recreation with exercise and at the same time inspire school and community spirit in both participants and spectators. With a winning team on the gridiron and the field lined with eager, cheering supporters our 1929 football season was made a successful and memorial one. For the stir of martial music which added so much zest to our home games, we are greatly indebted to the Raw- son Band. El Six ty-three . p-Q . ummm RAWSON HIGH SCHOOL FOOTBALL TEAM 1929. Top Row: Augustine, Coach Nixon, Manager Denhart, R. Redick. Second Row: Smith, Heldman, Bormuth, Payne, Folk, Rossman, Anderson, Blosser, J. Shank, H. Thomas. Bottom Row: Traucht, F. Thomas, L. Thomas, Musgrave, M. Shank, Capt. Cramer, Baumgardner, Young, C. Ketzenbarger, Hower. The football season of 1929, opened on September 3, with twenty-nine boys reporting to Coach Nixon for practice, of which only five were letter men. After three weeks of practice, the team prepared for the opening conference game with Van Buren. Our defending champs opened their conference season with a defeat at the hands of Van Buren. The next week the team showed its greatest spirit and punch of the season. The game was at Mt. Blanchard. At the beginning of the second half we were trailing with the score of thirteen to nothing, when the game ended the score was 13 to 12 in Mt. Blanchard's favor. A few weeks. later Rawson played their traditional enemy Liberty. The game was a nip and tuck affair. The team deserves credit for the touchdown that was made featuring Capt. Cramer along with the good work of the men of the team. The score was ruled out because of a foul committed by one of the home team. The following week we upset the dope and decisively trimmed Arcadia who had tied Liberty earlier in the season. Sixty-fowr w , in lp Mi- f ml -..: Football The team has shown exceptionally well in their scoring ability. For two con- secutive years Rawson hay had the best scoring machine in the county. The feature scores were against Mt. Cory with a win of 39 to 0, which tied Van Buren for high score, and Arlington with a score of 52 to 0 which was the largest single score. This gave our boys a total of 166 points to our opponents 25. Sept. Sept Oct. Oct. Oct. Oct. Nov. Nov. Nov.

Paul has finished his fourth season of football for R, H. S. He was one of the most valuable men on the team, a hard tackler and an aggressive end. Francis Baum gardner Francy, even though laughed at for always being last, he was one of the best tackles in the county. He played his third and last year for Rawson. Wesley Augustine 'fWes, our center played his first and also his last football for Rawson' this year. He was the real grit in the center of the line, on both offense and defense. Floyd Thomas Floyd, Senior, halfback, This was his first year on the football team. He was a hard hitting back. He could be depended upon when it came to snagging his op- ponents punts. Fredrick Ho wer Hower, Senior, end, has played one year for Rawson. He was always one of the first men to break up the other team's offense. Oscar Musgrave Oscar, Senior, quarterback. Oscar played his first year at this position. He was a splendid line plunger, and a very good field general. Gail Young Brigham, Senior, fullback, has played four years for Rawson, he was one of the flashiest backs in the county, his long end runs and his beautiful punting were his high lights. .. Q ' ea, W ... John Shank John Shank, freshman-guard. Johnny was a hard charger when it came to making holes and stopping his opponents. Marion Shank Shank a Senior guard, has played two years for Rawson. He was a real oHensive man, and also able to hold his own on defense, Chalmers Denhart 'tButch, -Senior-Student Manager. Den hart has been a great help to the boys and the Coach in all lines of sport this yea1'. Clifford Ketzenbarger 'tCliff, Sophomore, guard, was a very cle- pendablef man in the front line. He should be a very valuable man for the next two years. Lowell Thomas Cracks, Junior, end-Capt, Elect. He was f- hard working player though it was his first year of football. We wish him 1930 success. Ralph Reddick Reddick our big Junior tackle was hard to beat and also hard for his opponents to stop. This was Ralph's first year on the football team. His long passes were always a treat. Le Roy Traucht Traucht. Freshman, halfback. t'Tr0uty, was both a good offensive and defensive man, his short jabs at the line for both long and short gains were a feature.

The following pages tell a story of their own, dear to those who enjoyed following the games of a team whose skill and sportsmanship proved its supremacy. We take this opportunity to express our appreciation and gratitude for the capable direction of the coaches Whose great task it was to shape our teams. May this spirit installed by sports be carried into the bigger game of life: Get into the thick of it-wade in, boys!

The girls basketball season opened with forty girls answering the call of our Coach, Miss Cass, each one doing their best in order to receive a position on the team. Even though the team was defeated, each time there were many very interesting games of the season. One of the outstanding features of the season was the game with Liberty on our floor. At the half Liberty was ahead one point, at the the third quarter the game was tied, but, Liberty comes in during the quarter putting their team 'seven points ahead. Other interesting games season were with Mt. Cory, Bluffton and Arcadia.

Being an exceptionally good jumper she would invaribly get the ball to her team's end of the fioor. Very few guards had her determination and persis- tence. VVe hope to have more guards like her in the future and will surely miss her in the fall. Helen Ruth Baumgartner-Junior A'Baurny Helen played many good games as guard for Rawson this year. She is but a junior and much is expected of her next year. Dorothy Augustine-Sophomore Dot Dot was a good guard. Her opponents will vouch for this. Her efforts and fight' were Worthy of comment from all. Marveline Young-Senior Pat Marveline, Capt., and center was one of the main cogs in the team work. Her illness deprived the team of her service later in the season. Margaret Hilty-Junior Peg Peg was a very consistent performer and fighter on the floor. Her play at center late in the season made her a very valued part of the team. f. ly C41 Seventy-one Seventy-two . 7- Ink: Arleta Young-Senior Shorty Arleta yvas full of energy and fast. She could keep almost any forward from gain- ing much headway. When there was a tie- ball she was usually at the bottom of it, which of course was not to her discredit. Loath, as we are to say it, she will grad- uate this year. Katherine Westall-Sophomore Kate Kate, with a year's experience, proved a consistent forward. Her playing this year promises to be of great value to the team in the future. Arlene Reichley-Junior Arlene was one of our fastest forwards as well as a good guard. She should be very valuable to R. H. S. in 1931. Marjorie Powell-Junior Marj Marjorie played a good brand of basket ball. Her coolness and determination made her of value to the team. Mary Eloise Smith-Junior Smitty Smitty was handicapped some part of the year by injuries, but she always gave her best for the team. She is to be our new Captain and we wish her much success. Monna Robison-Freshman Although but a Fresl1ie Monna threatens to become a regular at any time. Her performance on the Court was very con- sistent for the first year. ,. Q- ', Manager Denhart, Hiles, C. Ketzenbarger, L. Thomas, Anderson, Coach Nixon. Musgrave, Augustine, Captain Young, Dennis, Folk. The basket ball season. of 1929-30 opened Nov. 19. A large squad reported to Coach Nixon, only two of which were letter men. After a month of hard practice we successfully opened our season with Hoytville. We continued our winning for five consecutive games, beating Mt. Blanchard, Vanlue, Liberty, our traditional opponent, and Van Buren. L We had our first taste of defeat by Ada, a Class A team. We came back fighting though and beat Arcadia and Mt. Cory in the same week. The next Week we downed Arlington by the largest score registered in the county this year. The following night the gold lost a hard fought battle to Bluffton, the runners up for the state championship in 1929. We finished the conference season by defeating McComb the following Tuesday night. Rawson Boys were the undefeated champions. Scoring 236 points to our conference opponents 103. We played our next games in the county tournament, beating Arlington, Liberty and Van Buren to win the tournament. This gave usi the right to play in the sectional tournament held at Bowling Green 'the following week. In the tournament at Bowling Green our first victim was Lake Twp. The runners up of Wood County. Saturday we won from Sts. Peter and! Paul of Ottawa. To earn the right to play in the finals and also the district tournament. We lost the final game of this tournament to Rossford, the Wood County Champions. The following week March 14, 15, was held the District tournament at Findlay. We staged a great comeback at th.is tournament decisively trimming the team that had beaten us the week before in the finals. On Saturday afternoon. March 15,2 we nosed out Elmore. This victory gave us a chance to play in the finals at Findlay. We were beaten in the finals by Tiffin Jr. Home. Both teams were given the privilege of competing in the tournament at Columbus for the state championship. At Columbus we finished a very successful season. We set a record by playing the longest game in the state finals that was ever played. We were beaten in the third overtime period by Jefferson Twp., Clinton County. In the 21 games played we lost 5. The team can also be commended for their clean playing of the 21 games without ever losing a man on personal fouls. May the team of Rawson High School enjoy such success in the future.
