Twenty-one ..- 5 ll 9 5 I1 9 Ol IO Oi ol:lo o THEECHO o one o Valedictory Now at the close of our high school career let us as a class not forget the motto which has carried us safely through our high school days, The past forever gone-the future stil l our own. How have we used the past? Many hours have we spent building a foundation on which later lives will depend, Some are interested in science, some in history, some in English, and in other various lines. There are no two things exactly alike, not even two leaves on a tree or two blades of grass. Why then, should everyone be interested in the same things? Sydney Smith has said, Be what nature intended you for, and you will succeed, be anything else, and you will be ten thousand times worse than nothing. As for the past, it can never be returned. Only the future remains. Will we strive to correct our past mistakes? Will we strive to succeed? After all, does not everyone desire fame and success? The world always makes way for the man with a will in him. Nothing ever seemed to daunt Napoleon. All through the Russian expedition, one of the most frightful experiences in history, he was calm, self possessed, self controlled, self centered, ever believing in his destiny, and with no diminution of courage, Misfortune, disaster, obstacles, and sorrows which would crush and un- balance ordinary minds, never disturbed the depths of his serenity. In this it will take faitering is be obtained late battle for success, many dark clouds will appear on the horizong the strongest grit and courage to subdue them. To face them without a hard task. Yet, no progress is made without work. Success cannot without patience. Hurry not only spoils work, but spoils life also. To attain success must one be wealthy? It cannot buy happiness, but it can purchase more in the way of those substitutes for happiness which most of us manage to exist by than almost anything' else, - v.- i - i - 9 i 'A ' . .

Therefore, it is the our our behalf. 7v1l'1'I!l'jjAf we it. Character is age and support our duty, fellow opportunities which will be ever v men for their wealth. Their characters are is success, and there is no other. Character a man possesses the greater his faculties for power, is influence, it makes friends, creates and opens a sure and easy way to wealth, classmates, to endeavor to do the best with knocking' at our doors, that we might show sincere appreciation for what our parents, teachers, and friends have done in qirlrm' R4'i1'l1l:'jf o ono o T H E E C H 0 o o:o Salutatory Greetings: To all who have made it possible for us, the Class of 1931, to reach this eventful time of our lives. The first twelve years of our school life may be likened to climbing a high hillg though the way has at times been hard, it has been mapped out for us by many helping hands. Now, after diligent effort, we have reached the summit, and stand for one brief moment on the top to view the various paths out into the world. We have been impatient for our school days to end so that we might take up our part in the world's work. Yet how few of us have taken into account the work and perseverance that must be the price of success. Though we may never become eminent we may at least become useful members of society. Some may feel when they are through school they are through studying. Study, says Cicero, is the voluntary and vigorous application of the mind to any subject. So, even though we leave our textbooks behind, we must continue to apply ourselves and study to go onward and upward as long as we live. We can continue to study because there is in man a spirit of mental progress not to be found in any other form of life. Our tomorrow is always better than our yesterday. And when, through studying, we have learned how little we know we can make more ready progress onward. The spirit of progress consists in not being satisfied with doing as well as one has done before, but each time wishing to do a little better. If we would succeed we should remember that one has truly succeeded only after he has done his very bestg and that success is dependent upon thoroughness and earnest effortg also that success depends, not upon brilliancy, but upon everyday honesty. We must learn to think and act for ourselves. If we think well and work well we will become workmen who needeth not be ashamed. We should have a fixed purpose. We should early choose the object we would achieve and then devote every energy to that end. If a task is disagreeable it should be remembered that there is no condition in life without its unpleasant surroundings. Steady industry, combined with a wide-awake, intelligent observation of all that goes on in the world about us, is the best capital for success we can have. Great men have succeeded in their efforts because they would not be defeatedg and we, with the same determination, may win in the future. For as the present is rooted in the past and the lives and examples of our forefathers still to a great extent influence us, so are we by our daily acts helping to form the conditions and character of the future. M rwtha Williams Twen ty-three 0 ll O O 0 O 0 0 0 ol:lo o T H E E C H 0 o o:o o Senior History The illustrious year, 1927 A. D., was marked by forty-six boys and girls in a career of training for the grand moment when the diplomas of Knights and Ladies would be given them. Knighthood was just beginning to bud for them. The tasks set for some of them by King Duncan and his Lords and Ladies of the court proved pretty hard for some of them and they dropped by the way side. The others strove to do their best in most of the jousts and tournaments in order to be worthy of the honor they would receive from their higher officials. The second year came almost too soon for them. They were getting used to the curriculum of the court, but, were not, however, afraid tu confess an honest eagerness for advancement in favor. Some were allowed to participate in the entertainments put on by the accom- plished singers of the court who chose as their grand musical, College Days. Others were given as badges of courage the coveted R which they had won in athletic bouts. Still others were the favored ones to contest in intellectual bouts at Findlay and at Bowling Green. So, you see, these apprenticed Knights were being trained mentally as well as physically in anticipation of making their debut in full armor to the world. In the third year, there were many things happening to keep them busy. They were, for the first time, judged capable of showing their dramatic ability and with the approval of the court, chose The Charm School' as symbolic of their art. By this time many more were able to prove their musical ability and were admitted into the musical entertainment of t'Hulda of Holland. Near the end of the year these apprentices gave a banquet in honor of the graduating full Hedged Knights. They tried to show how much their help in their days of struggle was appreciated and wished them success as they went on their way into the world. Now the fourth year of their labors has rolled around and the one grand moment of initiating the new apprentices has come and gone. Since this is their last year at court they put all their zeal in their work and in the parts they held in Up in the Air, the last operetta which they, as members of the glee clubs would give. Apple Blossom Time was chosen as the climax of their dramatic ability. Now, as a result, only twenty-eight Knights have grown in favor and advanced in the knowledge of the court. The rest found the way too hard to follow and went away. These twenty-eight proved the strongest, and with the approval of King Duncan and his Lords and Ladies of the court, the time has come when they shall receive their degree of Knights and Ladies and step farther into the bright and gloroius world of opportunity. Where knighthood was once just a bud in 1927 it surely has blossomed into the most beautiful flower of advancement of 1931. Norma Emery. Twenty-four o ol:lo o T H E E C H 0 o:o o THE LEMON Rl D VOL.

Then after a slow-going day or two VVe decided to Paddle our own canoe, And with Harold as captain and Paul his mate VVe kept her going at a pretty good rate. We did everything classes had done lmefore And in special activities, even did more. Then too, in this class we athletes had- And report cards went home without fear of dad. When next fall we started with far points in view, A new route we chartered and relieved our old crew. Stanley we figured would guide us quite well And with Harold to help him, she ought to sail swell. As Sophomores surely we didn't do had, Musicians and actors we soon found we had. In chapel programs we would always exceed, And even in other things soon took the lead. But as Sophomores also we finally grew tired So the next September again we rehircd. We felt quite sure Kathleen would govern us fine, And Merrill as vice-president came next in the line.

When spring came around, though, we tired of our chores, And we all longed and wished for the great outaof-doors.

This was the day for the great carnival which every one had anticipated for many weeks. When one entered the gate his attention was immediately attracted to a large beautifully color- ed tent. ln front, upon a large stand stood a very weird looking specimen. It was hardly conceivlable that this object could possibly possess human life. Never the less, he was attracting attention by the words he was shouting through a megaphone, Right this way to hear of the destiny of the class of '33 . There was a great rush to the tent and the crowd entered with a great amount of confusion. When silence had been acquired every one noticed an object on a table which proved to be a cauldron. Suddenly, sound issued forth. Then steam appeared and when this cleared they beheld Thelma Powell teaching Fl'apporology at Cannonsburg University. This faded and in its place was a scene of Howard Foltz and Ronald Cameron as Brigadier Generals in the marine corps. They have won fame and distinction by their brilliant idea of dropping flea bombs over Dogville in Nicaraugua. The next scene was of Edna Knepper and Bernadiue Keel who were journeying over the country selling a new kind of ice cream sifter which they had invented. The next, to every one's surprise was Mr. and Mrs. Benjamin Wilch, Mrs. Wilch the former Clara Rodabaugh, as they were just leaving the church after the wedding. Then appeared a scene in Tampa, Florida. Here Lucille Fillwock and Mary Mil- ler were working in a lobster factory. At this same place was Katherine Burkett, the champion crawdad catcher of the south. The next proved to be the most pitiable sight. It was of Dwayne Folk, who had frozen his feet while holding the latern while his wife was chopping wood. His wife was the former Monna Robison. As this faded, there came into view a very large building which was a University. Barbara Walter and John Shank were on the Faculty at this place which was the university for dumb mutes. The scene that followed was the subject of shows. The part that was most ex- citing was the one When Order Had to be Restored , back stage between the man- ager, Paul Eddy and the famous dancer, Marcella Gorby. Then all were very much surprised to see the ticket booth of this some theatre come into view, and to see Mar- cella King seated within it. Next was a scene in the wilds of Texas. A cowboy rides at breakneck speed on a bucking broncho. He is rescuing his fair maiden from a bad man. The movie camera records the heroic deeds. The name of Hot-Shot Cramer blames Cramerj is on the lips of every movie fvan. There appears a crowd gathered in New York's largest theater. The orchestra begins to play, the curtains rise and the crowds applaud. A man appears in the light. His black glossy hair and dark shinny eyes set many mvaidens' hearts throbb- ing. This man is Richard or better known as Dick Latham, a world famous actor. A cloud of steam shadowed this picture and when it cleared an opera house in New York appeared. On the sign were these words- Madame Grieser, the world's foremost prima Donna will sing here all this month. The next picture was along the Amazon River. An exploring party was resting after a long journey. Rayon Boutwell, the leader, was lying in a hammock while two uegroes were lazily fanning him with a huge leaf. A large hospital then came into view and every one recognized Olga Reddick in spite of the fact that her mass of dark curly hair was tucked neatly under her cap. Next was that of Paul Ewing who had ended his days of flirtation and is a level headed barber. He cares nothing for girls and is devoted to his work. The scene changed and we saw Franklin Westall as a boxing promoter for William Payne. Bill expects to be the next world's champion. Thirty-fi'ue 0 020 O 0 O O OZ Q10 IOZOI I IO 0 0 0 one o THE ECHO o one o This scene faded and the large building which everyone recognized as the national capitol building came to view. lt was a scene in congress. The speaker, we found to be Woodrow Smith, he was presenting a bill of Kindness to dumb animals. It seemed to go over very big, possibly because the fair maiden is help- ing to carry it out in the beautiful suburb of llawson, namely Jenera. She seems to be meeting with much success. The next seen we saw was that of a sight seeing bus. l'Ix'eryone on the bus seemed to be watching an aeroplane which wc saw make zi graceful landing. We recognized the pilot as none other than Dare-devil Seothorn i-.' he had become very famous for his discovery of at route to Mars and Venus. Ile was just returning from taking Maxine Dutton to Sunshine Mars to teach the natives Civilizatioii and Caesar. Julia Smith was seen seated on the throne of wealth. She has made her money from her recipe of the world's most famous chewing gum 'tThe lliispberry Tasteless. The next scene was in the wilds of Australia. .-X ranch house appeared and we learned that Marguerite Samsal and lVfllllI'!Yl1lI' Snow-tli had eloped and fled lo that remote part of the earth for refuge. Wzildemar has ll kangaroo lfllllfll and it hobby of raising pack rabbits. We then noticed a group of people very much excited over the HRIXYSUII Evening-'I'imes. This is the article which attracted so much attention: Mr, and Mrs. Cloyd Solt wish to announce the inarriage of their daughter Betty, to Mr. George Oldham. The wedding is scheduled to take place at the home of the bride on June first. Betty is said to have broken the hearts of many former suitors, but has at last found the one her heart longed for. The next scene revealed a very happy person whom we learned to know as Noah Arras. The cause of his joy was very unusual: he had learned that it was his direct ancestors who had built Noah's Ark. That would be zi cause for joy! Dorothy Schmehl has been sent :is niisr'ifm'iry to the South I'ole to teueh seals and walruses evolution. The caldron then gave forth the picture of a biology laboratory in which the Professor Alice Aurand was doing research work to rind if plants have hearts and if they love. Again the scene changed and we saw the world's largest flying field operated by Ronald Ketzenbarger, United States grouchiest bachelor. Wonder what happened to H. R. B.'? The Steam disappeared. Everyone left the tent feeling that indeed the time had been very well spent. For many days the scenes of the ealrlron were the objects of discussion.

Near the middle of December, one drop' ped out, leaving thirty-three. We have five teachers this year. They are Miss Burkett, Miss Cass, Miss Will- iamson, Mr. Huffman and Mr. Hoover. With the help of our home room teacher, Mr. Hoover, we formed a class organiza- tion with officers as follows: President, Martha Poe, Vice President, T. H. Fox, Secretary and Treasurer, George Folk. This organization made the year's work very interesting. Our class tried our best to lead in the sale of Christmas Seals but were disappoint- ed to find that we lost. Both boys and girls played a few baseball games with the Seventh grade, which brought victories to our class. This year has been very successful and we all hope to enter Rawson High School next September. -Elsie Wentworth THE EIGHTH GRADE CLASS PUEM We are a class of thirty-three Happy lot of girls and boys are we. Every day we go to school For our aim is to reach the goal. We shall scale the wall of education With our teacher's kind co-operation. We shall be Boosters of R. H. S. And our class shall spell success. With our strong determination We will probably rule the nation. Wouldn't our former teachers be surprised If a president from us should arise, Elsie Wentworth SEVENTH GRADE HISTORY On September first, 1924, forty-five first graders proudly strutted into school, for their first year of schooling. To the astonishment of the teacher Romick, this class advanced faster than many smaller classes who had gone before. Later in the year the class increased to forty-eight. In the second grade the class was diminished slightly. Miss Hauman, of Mt. Blanchard was teacher. In the third grade the class was still a noisy roomful. Miss Margaret Burkett was teacher. In the fourth grade the rank numbered well over forty to the dismay of Miss Kinsey, McComb, Ohio, on her first year of teaching. ln the fifth grade it was a slightly bewildered roomful until they got used to hav- ing a whole set of teachers: Mr. Bricker, Mr. Smith, Miss Beagle 'and Miss Cass. The sixth grade found us with the same number of pupils but a change in teachers, Miss Ballinger and Miss Wheland replacing Miss Beagle and Mr. Smith. To save putting in a dozen more seats in the seventh grade room we were kept in our same room for our first year of Junior high which finds us with, Mr. Huffman, Miss Burkett, Mr. Hoover and Miss Cass. We stiarted the year with forty-eight but two moved away. Twenty-two of the forty-six have been with the class from the first grade. -David Burkett CLASS POEM S is for the Seventh grade, Who study their lessons, with the teacher's aid. E is for Everybody blithe and gay, Creeping onward day by day. V is for Virtue, strong and true, Each of us has our work to do. E is for Everyone striving valong, Who'll be in the eighth grade if things don't go wrong. N is for the Nurture we received each day, Making us better to go on our way. T is for the Trials we've had, Trying hard not to be bad. H is for the Happy bunch that we'lI be, When we pass this year,-you see. --Sara Ella Robison Forty-three 0 O 5 9 5 9 0:0 0 THE ECHO 0 0:0 2'2'.'. ' ala ov 1. . .

Dale Golden, QCarlos Pool, u fine looking young man much engrossed in running the Golden factory, searching through the w-'er-knife finds a girl soaking wet and clad only in pajamas. Dale takes her to his home. Matilda, flris Morehousel, the com- petent maid of all work in the Golden home, suggests that as Maggie fMaxine Porel, the rescued has no money, she be given a job as maid for Aunt Pat fBeulah Templej, Dale's Aunt as ia rather dictatorial middle aged lady. Maggie is received into the household but exhibits her ignorance as to the knowledge of household affairs, which cause Matilda much disgust. Edward Hawkins fl-Iarold Thomzisb, a business man from Georgetown visits Dale and attempts to secure Dale's purchase of the Georgetown mill. He. being a friend of Maggie's uncle, informs Dale that Maggie is rc-ally Peggy Lou Harris, a wealthy heir- ess of Chicago, who is running away from a clistnstful marriage. Dale does not make Maggie's identity known to the rest of thc household. Gloria Evans lEvelyn Ediej, of Evansville, the choice of Aunt Pat for the heart and hvand of her nephew, comes to the Golden home to spend a few weeks. She and Maggie disagree heartily as Margie and Gloria are both in love with Dale. Edna Ripton llia Vonne Ottoy, sob-sister and a neighbor of the Goldens is very much in love with Dale. Julia Horton lDorothy Yourgl, a loud speaking girl, and also Veldla Graham lliatherine Westalll, the village vamp, are both in love with Dale.

Will Holt fMerril Bushongj, a g1'ocery clerk, and Roscoe King 1Thomas Jonesj, the village shiek, all vie with one 'moths-r for ylZl2fZ'lE'yS favor. Aunt Pat promises Dale the Georgetown Mill as a gift if he marries Gloria. With this in view and by frequent urgirgs of Gloria, Dale prepares to propose, but each time is thwarted and interrupted by n pretense on the part of Maggie that some one is in the house. This same night of the pnrty everyone expects Dali to announce his engagement to Gloria as the climax of the partv. We have said everyone-we must not forget Maggie. Maggie who tried to fix thorn for herself and the party ends with Dale's announcement of his engagement to Peggy Lou Harris of Chicago. The play was coached by Miss Gaeth. -Beulah Temple Forty-nine IOZO SOI -- un Ol i0 ono o T H E E C H 0 o o:o o Chapel A different type of chapel program has been used this year than formerly. The programs have been more of a devotional and educational nature than before. The programs were put on in regular order by the classes. This year a general theme for each chapel was chosen and the various talks, read- ings, vocal and instrumental music carried out this theme as far as possible, Various Themes of the Year were: Thanksgiving-Seniors. Temperance-Seniors. Friendship-Juniors. Kindness--Juniors. Character--Sophomores. Honesty--Sophomorrzs. Christmas-Freshmen. Courage--Freshmen. Lincoln-Seniors. Study of great paintings-Seniors. Greatness-Juniors. Easter-Juniors. Peace-Sophomores. Arbor Day-Sophomorvs. Home-Freshmen. ln this manner, we were able to use a large number of students 4-n our piograms, and we also tried to give each pupil a chance to bring out their talent and develop to a greater extent their abilities. Much credit for the success of these chapels go to the different class sponsors and other teachers. On the whole, the programs were enjoyed both by those who were the audience and those who participated. -M. Williams Fifty o o:o o T H E E C H 0 o ol:lo V, Operetta 'tUp in the Air , a modern musical comedy was very ably presented by the lloys and Girls Glee Clubs to a large audience on Friday evening, March 27. The story is: George Burbank fAlbert Gibbsy, a big business man, tolerates no one but a young fellow of brawn and daring as a candidate for the hand of his daughter Betty fllelen Ruth Baumgardnerj, who is already wooed, much to his annoyance, by Harold Post lPaul Ewingj, a young man of just the opposite type. liu1'bank's fricnd McCullom 1Merril Bushonpgb, a movie magnate, proposes to stage a spectacular fly- ing stunt by a young aviator, Joe Bennet 1Harold Youngj, who has applied for a job in the movies, and offers a prize to any amateur who will make a parachute jump, Jim Carter CTh0mas Jonesj, HaroId's busy-body friend, seizes on this as the young man's opportunity to make good, and devises various alibis which will prevent his actually going up, while gaining the credit for bravery. One by one these alibis fail, and Harold gets more and more deeply involved. Finally he is forced to go through with it in spite of himself, and by a comic fluke manages to maintain his reputation as El dare-devil, to gain the enthusiastic approval of Burbank, and to win the girl of his choice. Much comedy was furnished by Mrs. Burbank lLuella Bosscy a nervous and timid person, and Juniper Johnson lDwayne Folkj, a colored man of all work. Addi- tional characters are: Shirley Kingston fliathleen De Goody a friend of l3etty'sg Annie 1La Vonne Ottoj and Fannie ilivelyn Eddiei twin daughter of Henry McCullom, and Mrs. McCullom 1Elizabeth Arrasi a good wife and mother. The action takes place at the summer house party at the McCullom home in Beverly Hills, California. ldifly-lun 6 ll Q 101 Ol K0 Ol I0 O 0 OZ o 9 5 9 5 9 5 o O 0 o:lo o THE ECHO o one m 4 ..: NJ LG zz: .1 , . - 'L I C I 3 .ti E m a E 5 if :Z Q1 In 5 I3 C.

We are told that even among the -savages ot' today there is always found some attempt to sing or to make some kind of musical sound. Music seems to be a part of man's nature, by which he expresses thoughts that he could not express by words. gestures, or by means of writing or the art of painting, or sculptoring and etching. 'lhis also is a very important elf ment in our schools which is shown in many ways. The Glee Clubs under the supervision of Miss Williamson have done splendid work this year. The Girls Glee Club sang many times this year, and at several public meetings outside of school, namely at the Democratic Rally and at the Farmers iCh-v'ator meeting, for which they received a very welcome reward. On March 27th, lfliil, they very successfully presented a breezy operctta Up in the Air , l'his musical ability was also shown out side of the regular school life, many from our school have taken part in choir work in the respective churches, institute programs, and other programs. Drama is a form of literary art designed for the direct representations of human actions and characters, though their inipeisonations by actors before an audience. The ability for this type of work has proven very successful this year first by the .lunior play Maggie Fixes lt , on November Zlst, 15030, a dashing pllay of romance and comedy which was excellently rendered under the direction of Miss Gaeth. Un May lst, 10351, the Senior class very successfully presented Apple Blossom 'I'inie a fascinating play with plentv of action under the direction of Miss May. Mrs. Thomas Duncan was the private instructor in piano 'and proved to be a very efficient teacher. Mrs. S. I.. lleaty was the private elocution instructor who proved very efficient. Many students partook in this line of work outside of regular student life. .-Xt the beginning of the term the faculty presented The Country School a very pleasing comedy. All this is enough to prove that this year was a successful year in drama and lnusic. ihuella Bosse -Elizabeth Arras Fiffjf-foil I' o o:o o T H E E C I-I 0 o o:o Smith-Hughes Agriculture The Smith-Hughes Agriculture Department is one of the oldest of its kind in Northwestern Ohio and the first to be established in Hancock county, being organized in the fall of 1918. It now has the largest enrollment in the county. Mr. S. L. Beaty is now and has been in charge of the department for the past eight years. 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. Since S. L. Beaty has been at Rawson, one-hundned forty-eight boys have taken one or more years of Agriculture of which forty-seven have graduated under him, thirty with four years of Agriculture. In the last few years this department has taken part in various judging contests at Columbus and at local fairs. During the last two years we have taken part in the judging contest at the Bluffton Mid-winter Fair and have carried off most of the prizes. This year we also attended the judging contest at the Toledo State Hospital for the insane. We plan to take one educational trip this year. In the past, we have taken trips to Canada and Port Clinton, to see the infestations of the com borerg to South Bend, Indiana, to visit the Oliver Plow Worksg to Wooster, to the Agriculture Experiment Station, and to Columbus, to visit Ohio State University and participate in judging contests. Last year, we visited the Cleveland Stock Yards and saw how the animals are slaughtered and dressed for the market. This year we are planning on going to the Cincinnati Stock Yards and extend our trip on through the Southern and Eastern part of the state that we may know our own shate better and see how it ranks with other states in scenic beauty and historical interest. We make money to take these trips by testing seed com, serving hot lunches, community quilt, etc. The officers of the Rawson Chapter of the Future Farmers of America organiza- tion are: President, Harold Thomas, Vice-President, Dallas Kimbleg Secretary, Carlos Poe: Treasurer, George Urban. We wish this department prosperity in the years to come. -By Dallas Kimble and Clarence Payne Fifty-five O O20 0 O 0 0 0 O 2 3 2 1 0 O - one o THE ECHO o O20 lmith-Hughes Home Economics We feel that we have been greatly benefitl-d by our years work in Ohh' lim nomics under the supervision of Miss Helen Harley.

Vanlue scored only on their two great offensive drives. Thrice Rawson was halted in the shadow oi' the goal posts with inches to go. Vanlue later completed an undefeated season there- by winning the county championship. R. H. S. vs LIBERTY Rawson opened its home schedule September 26, entertaining the rival ol' them all, Liberty. The game turned in to a complete rout for Liberty. After being pushed all over the gridiron by eleven pile drivers for forty-eight minutes the visitors were content to succumb under the amazing score of twenty-six to nothing. A new back field ace was uncovered when Captain Thomas came into the back field and literally tore the Liberty line to shreds. gaining at will. R. H. S. vs ARCADIA October 3, again found the locals troding on enemy soil, this time at Arcadia, with the hither-to unbeaten Arcadia eleven. Rawson was victorious 12-0 mainly through its ability to block punts when blocking meant touchdowns. In all, four Arcadia punts were blocked, two being converted into touchdowns. A last half aerial attack was suppressed by the ever alert Rawsonites. R. H. S. vs MCCOMH On Friday, October 10. McComb presented its mediocre team to Rawson to he punished for an afternoon to the the tune of '11 19-0 pasting. The outcome was never in doubt with Rawsoifs varied offensive attack keeping the visitors bewildered at every turn. R. H S. vs MT. CORY October 17. found Rawson endeavoring to maintain a clean slate at home by en- gaging its near neighbor, Mt. Cory. Rawson's deceptive reverses and twists menzired Mt. Cory into a 32-0 submission. R. H. S. vs ARLINGTON One cleverly executed 80 yard offensive drive for a touchdown in the first four minutes of play proved to be sufficient to submcrge the lanky Arlingtonians on the latters gridiron, October 23. Rawson exhibited one of the best high school kickers in any league to protect that touchdown lead, one of Folk's punts plus the roll traveling 95 yards. Merle Thomas treated the rooters to a choice bit of tackling during the entire struggle. R. H. S. vs FINDLAY RESERVES On October 31, in the bitter cold, Rawson engaged in a scoreless deadlock with the Findlay Reserves at Donnell Stadium. R. H. S. vs VAN BUREN November T, found a choice Van Buren team completely routing our favorites 25-0 in the Dixie Metropolis. Injuries to three stars early in the game was too much of a handicap to overcome. R. H. S. vs MT. BLANCHARD In their attempt to bring to an end Rawson's undefeated string of victories at home, Mt. Blanchard was defeated 12-0 on November 14. The ice was broken early in the second half when Cramer snatched a lofty Ketzenbarger pass for what proved to be the winning score.

Whoever takes his place will have to be a fighter. HOWARD l OL'l'Z- Howdyl' Howard played his first year this year with Rawson and was a determined ground gainer. He was especially clever on fake reverses and twisters, and should prove to be a valuable asset to next year's team. CARLOS P015- Carly Although not a giant in statue, Curly handled his gigantic opponents with ease and proved to be a Titan at tackling. He has one more year for Rawson. More power to you Carly . RONALD KE'l'ZENlIARGER- Ketzie Playing his first year on the varsity proved to be no handicap to Ketzie . He played ill consistently good game during the entire season and who ever ran his end knew they had been through the mill. We shall look forward to your prowess again. JAMES CRAMER- Jim Jim started slowly but developed so rapidly that he was a regular at the end of the season. He was our cleverest pass receiver and exhibited his skill in the Mt. lilanchard game. ln his two remlaining years oi' his competence he should follow in his brother's shoes. LOWELL THOMAS- Cracks Captain Cracks developed into the outstanding baclcfield acc in the county in his last year and capably lead his team through a most cussessful season. His line plunging was superb and his defensive play was equally as good. We must commend him for his trustworthy leadership, PAUL EWING In his first year of competition, Ewing was an outstanding figure in the center of the line. His aggresive tactics were the margins of victory in many games. JOHN SHANKiUJohnny John was a tower of strength in the line this year and should develop into a star in his next two years. His grit has inspired us to many a touchdown. DWAYNE FOLK Dwayne chose signals for the past year and as the scores indicate, did a choice job of it. He was the outstanding punter of the county and these tactics saved us many games. Better yet, he has two years to pl'ay. Sixty o ol:lo o T H E E C H 0 o ol:xo Football CLIFFORD KETZENBARGIGR- Cliff Cliff played a consistently good game for us all season and stopped many an opposing thrust. We are depending on you next year Cliff . DANA FOLTZ-Captain Elect Dana was a deciding factor in all our games. His defensive work was superb. As his reward, he was elected captain of the 1931 team. He should make an ideal ieader for a championship team. MERLE THOMAS- Mut Merle also made his last year his best. He was perhaps the cleverest and hardest fighting linesman in the county. Merle spent most of his time in the opposing back- field. His tackles will be sorely missed in the future. RALPH REDICK Redick proved to be a tower of strength in the center of the line. His defensive play was of a high calibre and most certainly will be missed next year. MERRIT ROSSMAN- Jeff Playing his last year, Jeff came through with colors flying and played commend- able ball in the back field. His end runs will be missed in the future. HAROLD THOMAS- Hit Harold played well enough to deserve a letter this year and certainly is being counted upon for 1931. HAROLD YOUNG Young was the outstanding first year player and in his three years to follow he should be sbar. DALLAS KIMBLE- Daily No team is successful unless it has a well trained manager. Much of the credit for our successful season must go to Dally . His chiropractic treatments were of never ending joy to us all. It is painful to think of Dwayne getting along without t'Dally . lt is to those whom we expect to help us to the championship, and who practiced so endlessly with us that we extend our 'appreciation and good luck: Paul Carter, Merritt Heldman, Edward Deshurko, Franklin Westall, Bryce Amclt, Woodrow Smith, John Gilbert, Victor Bormuth, Arthur Von Stein, Craig De Good. -Lowell Thomas Sixty-one 010 010 010 020 010 0 O o 9 5 9 5 9 5 o oi:1o o THE ECHO o o::o o Girls' Basketball 'I'l11- u'i1'I's l1:1s!i11l l1:1ll s1':1s1111 111111111-1l with twvnty gzrls :111sw 1'i11gf thv cull of 11111' 1'1-'11'i1 Nl?-is ll1111s1111 Hui' l'i1s1 3111111 1111s 11l:1y111l 111 lluytvillv 1111 N11x'11111bc-1 28th.

Her disposition and good will kept her working hard at all times. Speed, a good eye for the basket, and determination was found in her playing. She leaves us to jump for greater and higher aims.

After two weeks of hard practice we played our first non-conference game, with Hoytville. We submerged to them 13 to 7. Rawson's next game on December Sth, was with Vanlue. After thirty-two min- utes of hard play the purple and gold quintet gave into their guests 24 to 11. A week later on December 12, the Rawson five were guests to Liberty, their traditional enemy. Roth teams playing their best furnished one of the most exciting games of the season. The score was 23 to 21 in Rawson's favor. Rawson's next game was with Arcadia on Rawson's floor, December 19. Both teams played exceptionally hiard but the Rawson cager's defense proved inefficient. Arcadia won 32 to 20. Forest entertained and wolloped the ltawsonites on Deceniber 26, by a score of 30 to 16 in an non-conference game. January 2, found the Rawson boys succumbing to Fostoria St. Wendelin in a close hard fought game on the latter's floor. The sccre was I7 to 16. l'he next week on J'anuary 9, the Rawson cagers were found on McComb's floor whipping the daylights out of them. McComb's high scorer was unsucccessful in his attempt to make baskets. due to Rawson's defense the final score was 46 to 13. Mt. Cory was greatly surprised to find themselves succumbing to Rawson's five on their own floor January 16. Rawson's boys worked hard to pile up a score of 19 against Mt. Cory's 15. Rawson met with stubborn defeat 'at the hands of Arlington on the former's floor January 23, it was :L hard fought game and won on fouls with a score of 20 to 17. On January 24, ltawson met Donnell in 11 non-conference game. The latter met a 27 to 21 defeat on their own floor. Rawson entertained Fostoria reserves to a 24 to T defeat in a non-conference game on January 30. Coach Yawbe-rg's home town, Grand Rapids, visited l-Zawson and was walloped 45 to 12 in a non-conference game. Grand Rapids was helpless when Rawson held down their high point man. Two days l'ater, on Februarv lith, the ltawsonites entertained Van Buren, the only unbeaten team in the county, the battle ensued nip and tuck, for twenty-four long minutes. The last quarter decided that Van Buren should win 26 to 17, due to their snappy offensive team xxork, which Rawson was unable to break up, Tn their 1351 l'0nf0Vl'lll'f' Sllluie of the season before the tournament the Rawson quintet trimmed Mt. Blanchard on the latter's floor on February 13. The first half was slow and uninteresting, the Mts. having the lead. Not so the last half, the game ending with a score of 26 to 20 in Rawson's favor. One week before the tournament on February 23, Rawson served as host to Mc- Clure. With a fast offense and an effective defense, Rawson won with a score of 20 to 12. lt was our luck, good or bad on February 27th, to play Van Buren in the tourna- ment. lt was a hard fought game both teams being handicapped on the big floor. The game ended with a score of 17 to 10 in Van Buren's favor. This ends the 15130-31 basket ball season for Rawson, having 352 points to our opponents 301, and winning four out of eight conference games. More power next year boys. --lly Lowell Thomas Sixiy-six o ono o T H E E C H 0 o o:lo RONALD KETZENBARGER Ketzie -Sophomore-Gulard lietzie was a good defensive man, sticking by his man continuously. He committed fouls, but good guards do that very thing. Let us hope he does as well in the future. DWAYNE FOLK DWAYNE-Sophomore-Forward Dwayne, when feeling well, could ring 'em up right and left. He worked efficiently on fle- fonse as well :is offense. We Wish him luck in his two years left for Rawson. PAUL EWING Ewing-Sophomore-Center Ewing played a good brand of ball even though it was his first year. He proved his worth with his heiglith, batting 'em from under the basket. LOWELL THOMAS Cracks -Senior-Guard Cracks has finished his second year for Rawson. He was very capable at taking care of his man and also found time to net many needed baskets. Cracks' consistent play cervainly will be missed in the future. DANA FOLTZ Dana-Junior-Guard Dana was full of energy and showed it. He could hold almost any forward, even if he did have to tackle some of them. Much will be expected of him next year.

In an effort to satisfy the athletic aspirations of those boys who were not to bake part in the inter-scholastic competition, a basketball league consisting of eight teams was organized 'and a schedule arranged. A split schedule was adopted, during which time two Champions were crowned. Then these champions played for the lntraamural Championship of Rawson High School, the winners to have their names engraved on a beautiful trophy. Fifty boys took an active part in the competition. The captains were: Arndt, M. Thomas, Cameron. Eddy, Kimble, Carter, Poe and Oman. Poe and Cameron earned the right to play for the cup, and Cameron came through in a close and stirring battle 15 to 17. Personnel of the teams: Captain Cameron 1Champsj, Cramer, Westall, B. Thomas, Ulrey and Looten. Captain Poe, fRunners-upj, De Good, O. Inbody, Solt, D. Elsea and D. Inbody. Captain Arndt, Gibbs, Woodruff, Brenner, Vanatta, Bushong, Captain M.
