HI TIMES ‘Published by CUYAHOGA FALLS HIGH SCHOOL Cuyahoga Falls, Ohio 2 HI -TIMES -sv c.Dedication We, the members of the graduating class of 1927, dedicate this publication to the faculty, in gratitude to them for the kind and wholehearted assistance they have so generously given us to make our four years in High School the enjoyable and profitable period that it has been. They have added to our enjoyment of our work a hundred fold, and lessened our cares and troubles equally. In view of their unceasing efforts to aid us in preparing ourselves for the game of life, we dedicate this annual to them as a tribute to their unfailing generosity, their perpetual willingness to aid, and their remarkable capability to perform any useful deeds which might pre- sent themselves. HI - TIMES V -tv Foreword We, the 12-A class of Cuyahoga Falls High School, have, in preparing this annual for publication, put forth our very best efforts in order that this may be the best and most successful annual ever printed at Falls High. We have endeavored to make it worthwhile, so that it will be perpetuated and will eventually become a tradition at Falls High. The Black and Gold is noted for its athletic teams, its debating and oratorical teams, and for its musical accomplishments, and it should be equally noted for its annuals. Falls High needs such a publication to record the deeds of the Black and Gold throughout each current semester, so let’s make it a tradition to publish such a book each semester. 'Flic graduating class of '27 wishes the coming graduating classes all the good luck and success which can possibly come to them in the publication of their annuals. HI-TIMES o?

TO THE CLASS OF '27 “Not at the top hut climbing,” Is a motto good and true, Striving for all that’s highest and best in whatever they may do. Climbing, ever climbing towards success and fame, Holding up with staunch true hearts, their Alma Mater’s name. Good luck, to ’27, may they never falter nor stop Until on the ladder of Success, they at last have reached the top. Their path may not be roses, and rough may be the way, But after the night of Failure is the Dawn of another day. Fhe rays of hope turn the darkness to light, And they see that their goal is still in sight. —M argaret M cK in ley. HI - TIMES Vi 9 txf SENIORS WILLIAM E. BAUMAN—“Bill” Chestnut Burr L.

Into my keeping is given Visions of lives in the future. T hus in due order 1 give them, T he future lives of the 12 A’s. Lo, in the beautiful White Mouse, Behold, now our President German, Most brilliant and noble of statesmen, Idol of all the people. And by his side is his Lady, None other than our own fair “Bunco,” Marion Orth, the great writer, Writer of dramas and novels. There, too, in the Capitol City, W e see the great Judge James Dabney, Handing down famous decisions Noted for fairness and justice. Within society’s ranks, in the Halls of the noble “four hundred,” Virginia Carroll holds sway, Known for her riches and beauty. Now the scene changes, a dust cloud, Appears on the western horizon, And from it emerges on horseback, Our dashing cowboy, “Bud” Greenwood. Aga n we have shifted the scene, We see as proud mother of six, Katy, no longer a Deeds; Stowe’s Foremost society matron. Now on the banks of the river. On the banks of the river Cuyahoga, Stands the “Bump School for Girls,” With Flora, the dean, as its founder. Lo, in the Chemistry Lab, is the Noted Professor, “Bill” Bauman, Teaching the girls that great lesson, To distinguish violet from purple. While waiting at home is FT is Cora, Cora Twiggs, our classmate, Mending the holes in his socks. Cooking his bountiful meals. We view Broadway’s best play, Helen Smith, the fair leading lady, View with amazement her power. Power of speech and of action. While nearbv in the great Opera House We hear Madame Fox. famous singer, Hear the applause which the people Enraptured, give as their votive. And, as we watch, the scene changes, Changes to a great office, There at his desk sits “Bob” Kroeger, Rich and powerful merchant. In the next room is his partner, The Honorable Leonard S. Walker, And by his side is Miss Richards Writing the words of the great man. In Paris, that noted gay city, Is Ruth Read, noted designer, Designing creations so fair That everyone wishes to bu them. And in that very same city Monsieur Castonguay, famous artist, Paints portraits of beautiful ladies Who on all sides surround him. Then back to New York we hasten And visit the Red Turkey tea room Owned by our old friend. Rose Holser, Rose and partner, Frank Foster, bar in the southland, behold, Ford Peebles, the noted physician, T reating the wounded and battered, The battered men of the gridiron. And close by is his much better half, Dot Robb, who watches and helps him, And waits on the poor football men, Players she always has worshiped. In Hollywood, land of the happy, Is Harry, the screen’s greatest lover, Though his name is no longer Hoots, But Senor Angelo Carmen. In the season’s greatest sensation Entitled “The Day of the Co-ed” Is starred our own Gladys Paddock, Noted and beautiful actress. But haste, we have much more to see. We enter a beautiful dwelling And at once see a wonderful glow. A glow from the hair of our Audrey. Here she quietly sits and about her Romp her four beautiful children Teasing their own Uncle Walter, Brother-in-law to o r Audrey. In an apartment nearby Dwells Audrey’s old pal, Lucy Brady, Critic of art and music, A tall and dignified woman. Then into my vision there comes The sight of our classmate, Dewight Cork, Dewight Cork, the noted cartoonist, Working and drawing his pictures. But see. on that theater bill. Are headlined those world famous dancers, Who but those stars. Crane and Elloitt, Creators of manv new dances. The theater—lo, view the name, HI -TIMES 13 pa- rt Keifer and Moore are the owners, Kola and Thelma, our classmates, Now rich and powerful people. We next see a well known newspaper. Which Richard Robinson edits, And on the front page is the picture Of Miss Flickinger, noted violinist. Thus does the tale of the Seniors, The brilliant 12-A’s of this high school, Come to an end and we leave them, Leave them in that friendly future. Hard have they labored and toiled And thus are their labors rewarded. So the dream fades into shadows, I'he dream of the beautiful future. I bus have I given to you File future lives of the 12-A’s. Lucy Brady, '27. We have throughout the year, honored sev- eral of our students in school for the splendid work they have done in athletics, literary work, and numerous other activities. Rut upon further investigation we have found there are a few students we have neglected to mention and who, in our estimation, deserve a great deal of credit. Catherine Deeds, Rose Holser and Audrey Goodnow, all of the 12-A class, have gone through high school without being absent or tardy once. They have won a battle of their own, that of possessing the ability and will power of attending school in spite of nice soring days, (when it would be nice to play “hooky”), rain, snow and even sickness at times. LITERARY SOCIETIES The three literary societies; namely, the Chestnut Burr, Athenian and Delphian, were organized in the spring of 1915. Howard Searle was president of the Chestnut Burr Society, Raymond Hibbard of the Athenian Society and Larry Green of the Delphian Society. I he purpose of these societies is to promote an interest in public speaking, to create free- dom and efficiency in the use of the English language, to create an interest in, and to cul- tivate a taste for the best literature. When the students entered the old high school even pupil was chosen into one of the three societies. Then this practice was changed so that the 11-A to 12-A classes, inclusive, were enrolled. However, two years ago the 11-B class was also included. Inter-society literary contests started in 1920. Each society chose three contestants from its membership to represent it in orations, readings and music. In all. nine contestants were chosen. To encourage these contests and as an incentive to enter the contests in 1923, Mr. Richardson offered prizes to the par- ticipants. The first prize was three dollars; second, two dollars; and third, one dollar. A cup is now awarded to the winning society, whose name is engraved on the cup. I he society holds the cup as long as it retains first place in the contest. Fhe Chestnut Burr Society won the cup last spring. In the readings, Margaret Mc- Kinley of the Chestnut Burr Society won first place. Her subject was “Johnny Does His Home Work.” Burt Ewart, an Athen- ian, won first place in orations. His oration was “The Administration of Criminal Jus- tice.” Wendell Jones of the Chestnut Bun- Society won first place in music with a clarinet solo. Each society presents three programs a semester. These programs include interesting and educational talks about athletics and cur- rent news, debates, literary selections of merit and musical numbers. At present the officers of the three societies are: CHESTNUT BURR James German.....................Pres id-ut Tames Dabney................Vice'President Ralph Smith.................... Secretary Leonard Walker Treasurer ATHENIAN M arion Orth.....................President Burt Ewart .................Vice President Ford Peebles...........Secretary-Treasurer DELPHIAN George Klein.....................President Catherine Deeds..................Secretary Garland Kikendall Treasurer The Class Literary Societies The Athenian, Chestnut Burr, and Delphian Literary Societies include only the students of the eleventh and twelfth grades. However, the ninth and tenth year classes have literary organizations in connection with the English course. The literary societies of the lower grades are meant to create an interest and promote efficiency in literary activities. This HI-TIMES work tends to give the student self-confidence when he is later asked to appear on the pro- grams of the higher grades. At the beginning of the term each English class elects officers for its society; usually they are president, vice president and secre- tary. T he president then appoints a commit- tee of three or four members, who hold a meeting to make out the program. Generally three programs are rendered by each society every semester. One of the 10-B literary societies presented a fine program recently. All who were requested to appear were well prepared and the selections were good. The material is much the same as that of the upper class programs. There are musical numbers, current events, talks, poems and readings. THE TROLLY LEAGUE ORATORICAL CONTEST •The preliminaries for the annual Trolley League Oratorical Contest were held two weeks previous to the finals. Ruth Read, whose oration was “War or Peace,” was chosen to represent Cuyahoga Falls High School at Kent Roosevelt High. James Ger- man was chosen as alternate. The subject of his oration was “T he Constitution ’ To uphold Falls High in the reading contest, Margaret McKinley was the choice. Her selection was “The Americanizing of Andre Francois.” Alberta Huff, with her reading, “The Lost Word.” was decided upon as alter- nate. T he Trolley League Oratorical Contest was held in the Kent Roosevelt auditorium on April 16. The auditorium was filled with an attentive audience. T hroughout the en- tire program much interest was manifested by the Falls High students, but at no time was that interest so keen as when our girls were performing. T he expression on the faces of the Falls crowd indicated that they were well pleased with the manner in which our contest- ants conducted themselves. The results of the reading contest, as announced by the judges, were as follows: Kenmore High was placed first; Cuyahoga Falls, second, and Ra- venna, third. In orations, Roosevelt High re- ceived first honors; Cuyahoga Falls, second, and Ravenna, third. These ratings clearly indicated that Falls High had maintained its usual high standards. WRITING A THEME “You will come prepared to write a three hundred word theme in class.” How familiar are those words to all of us and yet how we loathe the very mention of a theme. We have been called upon many times in the course of our school career to write themes and essays, yet every student considers it a drudgery which can only be tolerated because of the great and ever present danger—no grade. When we are notified to prepare a theme, we begin looking around for a possible subject. The search usually lasts about two minutes, after which we give up in despair and try to console ourselves with the idea that we surely will be able to write on some subject the fol- lowing day. Benjamin Franklin once said that we should never put off till tomorrow what can be done today. A very wise and true proverb it is, but so hard to follow. It seems as though it is always much easier to postpone the unpleas- ant task. The next day as we approach the fatal hour we become more and more alarmed for it seems as though the golden subject has not presented itself. As we go into class our mis- givings increase in size and number and we begin to wonder why we ever put off getting a subject till the last minute. The rest is an old, old story. When the hour is half gone, suddenly out of a cloudy horizon comes a revelation. We begin writ- ing with fervor and as the bell rings the last word is written. Saved! But none too soon. —Thomas Hunter. MY WATERLOO Napoleon met his Waterloo, Caesar met his doom. But I met Both these things at once Up in the Physics room. The hours tick slowly by from morning till night of a school day. The morning passes, and as noon arrives, I begin counting the hours with a sinking heart. One-thirty, two-thirty —and then with the two-thirty bell sounding like a death knell on my listening ears, I pro- ceed to the Physics room, like a lamb going to the slaughter. For what possible reason I go, I do not know. For my mind is an absolute void in matters of science and that room for me holds HI -TIMES ---EV all the horrors of the Spanish Inquisition. 1 sit gazing out the window at the sights and sounds of the busy street. Suddenly a question is fired point blank at me. What shall 1 do? There in the midst of my day dreaming 1 am brought back to earth with a start and no idea of what 1 am supposed to say. For a while then 1 listen attentively with mv mind a jumble of scientif.c facts and fig- ures. My brain reels. All 1 can see is formu- las. formulas, formulas, and not a one do I know. The hands go around the clock as though there were weights on both of them, until at last, it comes, the bell of freedom, the joyful sign that there will be no more Physics until the next day. Hut the memory of that room still lingers. What is thunder? Where does electricity come from? How does a storage cell work? “Oh death, where is thy sting?” —Alar (jar et M cK in ley. When You’re on tlie Literary Program I There’s the funniest feeling around your heart, Every little sound makes you start. You say it, you think it, you look at the clock. Then say it some more and feel your knees knock. II 'IV rest of the program goes so slow You’re the last on the list you already know. Your eyes burn, your ears roar And you wish you could crawl through a hole in the floor. III You fold your hands and wiggle your feet. Then comb your hair and try to look sweet. Then all of a sudden the president stands, Calls out your name and the rest clap their hands. IV You start for the platform, your heart all a-quiver, While your voice slides down and touches your liver. T hen von begin and talk along ’Til Hip! Hurrah! There goes the gong. V It’s over, it’s over, it seems to say, It’s over until some other nice day, And you with a feeling of great relief Leave the stage and forget your grief. —Catherine Deeds. Literary Digest Reports Reports! How I hate and fear them! Why is it that as I read the article in prepara- tion for recitation, 1 can think of a wealth of material, and many remarks to make on the article. I imagine myself making a brilliant speech to a group of classmates held spell- bound by my eloquence. I hear myself hailed as a female Patrick Henry. However, as the fatal moment approaches, my courage is some what diminished. I dread hearing my name called. Frantically, I try to recall at least one statement made in the article. At last, when the suspense has be- come unbearable, my name is spoken in sepulchral tones by the teacher at the desk. I arise. Through the mist 1 seem to see a sea of faces. The silence is terrifying. With parched throat, I begin in a halting voice to speak words which sound positively idiotic. 1 cannot recall one word of the article, and at last, after floundering about for what seems like an hour, I give up in despair and sit down. This has seemed like the longest two minutes 1 have ever exper- ienced. The class, on the other hand, have appar- ently perceived no outward change, although it seems to me that my face must have been red as a lobster. Probably three-fourths of my classmates have been so busy thinking about their own talks that they have not heard mine. All that effort and worry for nothing! Such a life! —Florence Austin. HAND CARVED DESKS Since antique furniture is coming back into style. Falls High certainly is right up-to-the- minute! Anyone entering any of the numer- ous class rooms is instantly attracted by the many hand-carved desks. Some poor student, dreading the thought of being forgotten upon leaving school, has, as a last resort, taken it upon himself to carve his name into his desk in such a manner that it will remain there until the desk crumbles in ruins. In a few rare cases the carvers have even added a photo- graph to the name! If taken to an antique shop these desks would command a large sum of money for, even though many of them are comparatively new, they certainly have the appearance of furniture used by our earliest ancestors. If the school is ever in need of a sum of money, I am sure they could obtain 16 HI-TIMES Vi any amount they desired if they would part with these much-loved desks! No doubt such a sale would bring tears to the eyes of many teachers who have witnessed much of the carving, hut money is money, you know! —Ethel ll'ujhhergcr. A FRKSH MAN'S FIRST DAY in high school As he walked up the long curving walk, which led to those two heavy doors beyond which lay the unknown, the unexplored, and the unconquered, the Freshie paused mo- mentarily to more closely view the building which would he his study—perhaps his prison —for the next four years. As he looked at it, it semeed to assume a little less forbidding aspect, hut still there was a great desire to go back to the grammer school from which he had come. This was so different here. It made him feel very small and insignificant, much like Gulliver in the Land of Giants. Why, there was a fellow who had just gone into the buildings who looked big and old enough to be his father. Maybe it was one of those faculty members about whom he had heard vague, uncertain rumors, but still, the fellow acted more like a student. Oh, well, what was the difference—that fellow wouldn’t mean a thing to him. The immediate project was to get inside the school, and put himself in some corner where everyone wouldn’t look at h’m as though he were some rare curiosity. It was annoying to have people look at him that way, it made him feel as though some- thing were wrong about h'm, but a quick searching glance over his person always showed him that evervthing was as it should be. St'll —whv couldn’t people stop looking at him like that? Wasn’t he merely a freshman and undeserving of such attention? Finally his mind slipped away from such musings and. mustering a bold front, he marched bravely into the school. As he reached the door, he faltered, but the thought “Now or Never” flashed into his mind, so he continued, and immediately found himself in the midst of a babbling, confused crowd of people. Then he heard an authorative voice say “Everyone go into the auditorium, please.” He had scarcely settled himself in one of the front seats, middle section, lower floor, and began wondering where his friends were, when someone sa d, “Say, these seats here are re- served for upper classmen; Freshman, sit in the balcony.” File presence and words of this seemingly eminent personage overawed him, and he made haste to obey his commands. He finally managed to find a seat in the balcony near some of his friends, and there he estab- lished himself till the assembly was over. Then, in accordance with an announcement which had been made, he made his way to the lower floor where he received h s schedule for that day and many others to follow. If he had thought that he was having trou- ble before, he was thoroughly convinced of it now. His schedule was perfectly plain,—hut how did they manage to put the rooms in such unheard of places? It seemed to h'm that Columbus had a much easier proposition in discovering America than he had in discover- ing some of his rooms. Why, th’s beat that mythical Labyrinth he had heard so much about! It seemed that when he was on the third floor hunting a room, someone told him that that room was on the first floor, and thus it went throughout the day. As he went into each classroom the teacher seemed to look him over appraisingly, and he wondered what opinion they had formed. Then after he was seated with the rest, a naner was passed around to sign names on. Then the teacher began a short discussion of the subject and ended up by saying that each person would have to provide himself with a book at a certain price from her, or procure himself a second-hand one from the office. That discussion, and notice of the necessary purchases reminded him of a med- icine show h° had once seen. And worse yet, it seemed that all the teachers said the same thing. The monotony of it was broken for a brief time at noon, but commenced again immediately at 12:30. Finalh the long after- noon wore itself away, and he was free tem- porarily once more, after spending his first day in school. As he betook himself homeward, accom- panied by some of h:s friends, he wondered if he’d ever lose that self-consciousness that had trouble him, or would all the days seem as long and monotonous as this one had ? And would he ever manage to learn the system of numbering the rooms? That, however, seemed impossible. Nevertheless, if that Fresh- man could have pierced the wall of t me, and co'dd have seen hims°lf as a senior, his aston- ishment would have been unbounded. —J a m es G er mn n. - HI-TIMES 17 !V THE FIRESIDE The firelight flickered and glowed in the gloom Sending strange, fantastic shadows into the room; The fire danced and crackled in unbounded mirth And the embers glowed as they dropped on the hearth. 1 seemed to see in the firelight, the days of long ago, When in care-free youth I knew neither care nor woe. 1 closed my eyes and smiled in extreme con- tent, And dreamed of the days that had long since been spent. 1 lived once again in the dear days of the past, Then I came to myself with a start at last; 1 shivered with the chill that comes to the old And the fire, like my youth, had grown dim and cold. —Margaret McKinley. FRESH IES IN GENERAL Once there was a freshie green, As green as any 1 have seen. He came to Falls Hi full of vim, ’Cause nothing scared him—“no not him.” But, oh, the throngs of girls and boys, They were wet blankets to half his joys, He’d been a “big toad in a small puddle,” But now he found himself i:i a muddle. And then the miles and miles of hall And rooms galore—but that’s not all! T'he lockers where you jammed and jammed And go the door on your fingers slammed! When everybody shoves to get through, They never th’nk of poor little you. Did you ever hear a mournful shout Just when the bell rang, ’cause the books fell out ? A shout it was—it couldn’t he other— For a FRESHIE can’t swear as good as h's brother. Now where is the freshie, you may ask. He’s wearing a dignified “Senior’s” mask. And he’s as “CLEVER” as he thought at first, For he’s appeased the great book thirst. But if he goes to college for more He'll have the same trouble he had before! SO DON’T GET YOUR HEAD TOO HIGH ABOVE GROUND OR YOU MAY STUB YOUR TOE AND COME 'FUMBLING DOWN! —Leona Taylor. What Does Mr. Roberts Think About in Assembly? Every Monday morning at ten o’clock the three upper classes of Falls Hi are called together for assembly. Mr. Preston leads the student body in song, after which Mr. Roberts makes a few announcements and then gives the floor to Mr. Richardson for the re- maining time. It is during Mr. Richardson’s speech that we wonder what Mr. Roberts is thinking about. If we could read his in- nermost thoughts they would probably run as follows: “Well! 1 am glad these announce- ments are over, they sure are a bother, some- times. I wonder what the weather will be tomorrow. 1 suppose it will be clear, but I wouldn’t dare say so to the student body. I wonder why Mr. Yost always goes to sleep, surely Mr. Richardson’s talk is interesting to- day. 1 wonder if I have enough coal in for the winter. Gee! 1 hope 1 don’t have to run to the store as soon as 1 get home tonight. Why doesn’t that girl sit up in her seat? Those Seniors certainly have poor taste. I wonder if their party will he a success? 1 do hope those rough necks will stay away this year and not interfere with other people's pleasure. But I remember when I was young. I used to do the same thing and I’ll bet Mr. Richardson has, too. Oh—can’t Mr. Bopp see that those boys are disturbing the whole assembly? How can some people be so blind and yet see where they are going? I hope Richard doesn’t get the chicken pox; I hear there are quite a few cases around town. There Mr. Richardson made an error—he said far- ther instead of further. I wonder if any of the students noticed it. Some of those Sopho- mores are worse than the 8-B’s. Just see that boy chewing gum. 1 wonder what brand he is advertising? Look at those Juniors talk- ing. Sometimes I wonder why they publish a newspaper in this town. 1 hope my wife has lemon pie for supper because I sure do like pie. Look at those boys walking right out. and there goes Mrs. Smith, too. Such nerve! Well! My mistake, 1 guess the assembly- period is over. There’s another half hour well spent. —Martha Todd. 18 HI-TIMES c- THE BOYS OF ’26 With Apologies to Oliver Wendell Holmes AS SEEN IN 1956 We’ve a trick, we young fellows, you may have been told, Of talking (in public) as if we were old: Walker we call “Doctor”, and Jim we call “Judge”; It's a neat little fiction, of course it’s all fudge. Zimmerman’s the “Speaker”—the one on the right; “The Mayor”, excuse me, his right name is George. Mark’s our “Member of Congress” we say when we chaff; There’s the “Reverend,” Bob’s his name,— don’t make me laugh! “Curt’s” a boy, we pretend, with a three- decker brain, That could harness a team with a logical chain; When he spoke for our manhood in syllabled fire. We called him “The Justice”, but now he’s the “Squire”. And there's a nice youngster of excellent pith: Fate tried to conceal him by naming him Smith; But he shouted a song for the grave and the grand; He’s singing “Grand Opera” all over the land! Then here’s to our boyhood, its gold and its gray. The stars of its winter, the dews of its May! And when we have done with our lip-lasting toys, Dear Father, take care of thy children, The Boys! —Bert Ewart. “WHY?” (Speculations Coneerninij Some oj Our Family Men) For weeks, aye, for months, our minds and imaginations have been tormented as to the why and wherefore of many characteristics of our faculty men. Can anyone explain to us why Mr. Roberts always rubs one hand against the other while he speaks? We have pondered long and seri- ously on this but have never arrived at a defi- nite conclusion. Is it to stimulate the flow of thought or is it merely to stimulate the flow of blood so that his hands will become warm? We shrug our shoulders and shake our heads—the problem is too deep. And why, may we ask, does Mr. Smith always seem to hug himself when he talks? Is it habit ? Or is his favorite song “I Love Me?” We wonder! Ir. Yost’s blush is noted throughout the school. Indeed, we are quite sure that some day it will become a school tradition. What causes it? It is very becoming of course, but we wonder if it isn’t rather inconvenient at times. Another question we have wrestled with in vain is how Mr. Bopp acquired such dignity of manner. Did he really acquire it through zealous effort, or is it an inherent quality? We suspect that it has been acquired as an asset for his profession. In fact, we have every reason to believe that he has not always been so dignified. At college (so we have heard) his nickname was “Isaac”. Now the word “Isaac” means laughter, which doesn’t harmonize so well with dignity unless, of course, it was dignified laughter. Why is Mr. Preston perpetually optimistic? Doesn’t he ever have moments of depression? And why does Mr. Cruikshank always appear so calm and unruffled? Doesn't he ever get visibly excited? We sigh in despair, for, though we puzzle and rack our bewildered minds, these ques- t.'ons still remain unsolved riddles. —Lucy Brady. WILLY PLAYS FOOTBALL Sing a song of football, Carcass full of bumps, Willy’s jaw is swollen, No, it’s not the mumps. Willy is a half-back, It’s the pace that kills; Father’s at the office Counting doctor bills. Mother’s in convulsions, Worrying for fear That her darling Willy.’ll Lose his other ear. Sister’s making bandages, Aunty’s making splints, W.’Ily takes it bravely— Do-sn’t even wince When the grizzled surgeon HITIMES 19 tv Probed into his brain, In his bold attempt to Make him well again. For it is admitted Willy’s not himself Since the final practice Put him on the shelf. First they smashed his sternum, Then they wrenched his knee. Gouged out both h.'s eye-balls So lie cannot see ; But his Adams’ Apple Tramped on by toes, Frescoed Willy’s features And flattened out his nose. Then to show his courage Willy let the bunch Hit him with a hammer Where he stowed his lunch. Willy wasn’t yellow When he hit the line— Willy didn’t bellow Tho’ they broke his spine. Said it didn’t matter Tho’ his teeth were out, And his tongue was swollen So he couldn’t shout. Willy did his duty, Tho’ he’s somewhat lame, Since his feeble efforts Won his team the game. —Esther Twiggs. TEAM WORK 2-8-TI 'I'he Quarterback’s quivering voice rang As it reverberated throughout the crowded stand. With eyes blazing, crouched low, with ex- tended hands, Received the ball, pivoted gracefully, and through the line he rammed. To meet him there a Stonewall? No! For his line had gallantly executed the signal call. Victory? Yes! For he and his line had stormed the enemy’s lair. Midst cheering and the band’s blare. Trooped they, the team, to their showers with Victory won sweet and fair. A Football Enthusiast. — Eddie” Nylander. THE MIDNIGHT WORKOUT Canto I. ’Twas midnight on the campus, Not a teacher was in sight; The trees swayed in the moonlight And the octette felt just right. Canto II. ’Twas moonlight on the gridiron When the charger changed its place, And the ticket booth went over As the charger moved o’er space. Canto III. The clouds obscured the moonlight, When the pump was putin place; Then the dilapidated shutters, Were placed to suit the octette’s taste. Canto IV. The clouds still obscured the moonlight. When the antiques were placed in sight. The wheelbarrow climbed the ladder, And the sleigh was rigged up right. Canto V. The moon was breaking through the clouds On the clock, showed a dreary time When that wonderful Overland wreck Went past the “drive slow” sign. Canto VI. 'The dawn broke o’er the campus And I he octette looked a sight For now the work was finished And day drove away the night. By O. Canu Guess. —George Kline. —Murk Hale. —Leonard Walker. FUTURE OF TENNIS Time was when tennis was regarded as something to be kept under cover by tbe thick neck gentry, and those who played it were considered “molly coddles.” The terms “deuce” and “love” never seemed to convince the red blooded he-man that the game was anything but an effeminate waste of time. But all that has gone out along with the back bar and brass rail. Today the male takes his tenuis straight along with his morning cof- fee and rolls, a clean shirt, or a fresh shave. As a matter of course, you know. Men like Mauric McLaughlin, “Bill” Tilden and “Bill” Johnson are the boys who turned the trick. Then along comes C. C. Pyle with an ef- fort to professionalize the sport. This may or may not do the game good. On the HI -TIMES 159 20 surface, a cash carried championship would evidently stimulate the interest. On the other hand we were led to believe that tennis was an amateur sport. It is disclosed that the Tennis Federation of France was reaping a rich harvest from its tournaments. With a lot of fake publicity about Suzanne Lenglen’s temperament, (which doesn't exist) and col- orful stories of the Bounding Basque” or Jean Borota, they packed the arena. Only, the stars would receive no financial benefit, the club promoters would look out for that. I he I nited States Association operates at no loss either and you can depend on these organized bodies rising in the spring with a supreme effort to squelch professional tennis. Mr. Pyle can simplify this by withdrawing. I f that be the case, the tour of Suzanne. Rich- ards and Mary K. Browne will be their final gesture. But it is hoped that C. C. Pyle carries on. for it is certain to develop a lot of clever chaps, who, under existing circumstances, can ill af- ford the leisure of seeking a world’s champion- slr’p. Everything remains to be seen and that’s that. —Carl Bishop. The Harhelor's Soliloquy ( With . Ipologits to Shakespeare) 1 o wed. or not to wed? That is the question Whether ‘t is nobler in the mind to suffer 1 he pangs and arrows of outrageous love Or to take arms against the powerful flame And by oppressing quench it. To wed—to marry— And by a marriage say we end The heartache and the thousand painful shocks Love makes us heir to—’tis a consummation Devoutly to be wished! to wed—to marry— Perchance a scold! aye, there’s the rub! For in what wedded life what ills may come When we have shuffled off our single state Must give us serious pause. There’s the respect I hat makes us Bachelors a numerous race. For who would bear the dull unsocial hours Snent by unmarried men, cheered by no smile To sit like hermit at a lonely board In silence? Who would bear the cruel gibes With which the Bachelor is daily teased When he himself might end such heart-felt griefs By wedding some fair maid? Oh, who would live Yawning and staring sadly in the fire I ill celibacy becomes a weary life But that dread of something after wed-lock (That undiscovered state from whose strong chains No captive can get free) puzzles the will And makes us rather choose those ills we have Than flv to others which a wife may bring. 1 hus caut’on doth make Bachelors of us all, And thus our natural taste for matrimony Is sickbed o’er with the pale cast of thought. And love adventures of great pith and moment With this regard the’r currents turn away And lose the name of Wedlock. H I S T () R Y All students who graduate from Falls High are required to take the year’s course in what is called History 12B and 12A. What are some of the values of this and other history courses? Probably the historian was correct when he said that history has three values— disciplinary, cultural, and utility. From the disciplinary value, history teaches us to master definite facts in such a way that they may be put on the mental shelf, in an organized wav. for future reference. From the cultural value, history, which has been organized and placed on the mental shelf, may be taken and used in interpreting new facts. 'The writer is reminded of an experi- ence he had when a freshman in lr’gh school. At that time he saw a play entitled: All of a Sudden Zanthippe.” He probably gained the surface value of this play at that time, as most all others did who were present. Later in college he came across the life story of Socra- tes. Those who have studied that particular phase of history will remember that the wife of Socrates was Zanthippe, and that home conditions were none too pleasant for him. Th s idea was carried out in the play bv con- stant reference to the “rolling pin” but the true value underlying the play was not fully understood until several years later. It is so often that a good historical background will give one a fuller appreciation of things. F'rom the utility value, history, which is properly gathered and organized, may be used in solv’ng new problems. It was Pres’dent Hardiru, who but a few years before h:s death, that said: “If the people of the world, and especially the statesmen, had been better HI -TIMES 21 tv5 versed in history, the World War and many other (treat calamities of the past would never have taken place.” History teaches people to think before acting, so that such a nation as the United States will not follow through the steps taken by Rome and lead to the same terrible ending. It teaches the individual not to foster self-centered ways or he may have the same experience that came to the great Napoleon. Along with these three conscious values come two very valuable assets to the indi- vidual. One of these is character. Constantly in history one is reading of the sterling values of a good character, for success is impossible without .'t. Let me take but a moment to point out the difference between character and reputation. It is surprising the number of people who think that they mean one and the same thing. Character is what you are and reputation is what others think you are. Don’t use too much time thinking about your reputation for it is usually true that a good reputation goes along with a good character. Put your time and attention in developing and improving your character. The other asset is to be socialized. You as well as 1 know of many who were well trained for a given task hut knew not the art of get- ting along with people. We are constantly thrown in contact with others and much of our success depends on how we get along in these associations. L. Packard. History Instructor. IMPRESSIONS Before and Afler Entering High School BEF Gee, those kids at Broad must be tough! This hunch is, anyway. Wonder if they’re all like that? Can’t tell, though, whether this is the exception or the rule. Well, look at that big fellow! He must he old enough to be out of Hi School already—and he’s only starting. Must be awful dumb. He’s lucky, though—he’s sure to make the foot- ball team. Wish I were bigger—1 might have a chance too. Oh, well some people are born lucky. Gee, that’s a nifty looking girl over there! Wonder if I’ll meet her when we’re in Hi School. Gosh—1 believe RE she’s smiling at me! Must be somebody else, though.—But there’s no one else around—gee, it must be me. Hmm—Hi School won’t he so bad after all! Wonder what her name is. Say—I wonder if this Hi School work is as hard as some of the fellows say? Hope not —if it is I’ll have plenty of work on my hands. I suppose most of it's exaggeration, tho. Well, guess this officious looking gentleman must be the principal—he’ll probably tell us more about this place. Hope so—there’s plenty I can’t understand. (Continued on Next Page ) HI -TIMES AFTER Well, I’m a Soph now so I guess I’ll have lots of Freshmen looking up to me. Hmm— wish that girl would stop grinning at me— these girls are too simple. Gee, 1 hope this teacher gets thru raving soon. 1 don’t know what its all about but—my gosh! He wants me to tell the class what electricity is! How should 1 know? “What’s the matter with us.” I couldn’t say. Can you heat that? Asking what’s the matter with me! There goes the hell! Hot dog, one more period over. Now for History. That’s soft stuff. Just this hour and the day is over. Except foot-hall practice tonight. Wonder why that big farmer doesnt’ come out? Oh well, guess he wouldn’t be any good anyway. Somebody just came in the door. Holy smokes, it’s the principal! Wonder what he wants, Ah, there he goes out again. Glad of that. Hurrah! It’s starting to rain. Maybe we won’t practice tonight! Guess we will though. There's the teacher looking my way. Hope he doesn’t call on me! I’ll have to look wise so he won’t. Oh rats! He did anyway. Such luck. Well ----------------------.

THE BAND The Hand, which we believe to be the most popular musical organization, has a large fol- lowing by the student body. This, no doubt, is due to the fact that it appeals to music lovers because of its bouvant, catching refrains, brought into effect by the ever popular brass instruments. In 1922 through the untiring efforts of Mr. Layton, our former principal, the Hand was organized, but had only a few members. Then Mr. Schlabaugh took up the work and with keen zest hunted out the cream of all the musical talent. He soon had forty members enrolled in the Hand. He so enthused every- one with the progress of the Hand that, in 1925, money, which amounted to well over a thousand dollars, was appropriated for uni- forms for the hoys; money was also appropri- ated for added instruments, which expendi- ture also totaled over a thousand dollars. Mr. Schlabaugh left us in the fall of 1926 and Mr. Cruikshank has taken his place. 'file Hand is met with favor at all functions and with this status we sincerely hope it will expand in name and firmness in the years to come with the good name of CUYAHOGA FALLS HIGH SCHOOL.

THE ORCHESTRA Mr. Layton organized the Orchestra in 1920, and from a personnel of a few, this or- ganization has increased until at the present time there are about thirty members. Their first appearance was at the Trolley League Oratorical Contest in April, 1921. 1 he Orchestra, like the band! has appeared in semi-annual concerts. During last winter the Orchestra, assisted by the other three mu- sical organizations, gave free Sunday afternoon concerts, which were much appreciated by the community. It has been quite an advantage to the pupils who have belonged to this organization, be- cause it has given them inestimable experience and instruction. After two years of service each member is presented with a pin, showing the school’s appreciation for their efforts. The Boys’ Glee Club and the Orchestra were enjoyed by an audience at the Springfield Sanitarium last year. 1'his musical organization, at the present time under the leadership of Mr. Cruikshank, should be supported and encouraged by every- one. 26 HI-TIMES r GIRLS’ GLEE CLUB FIRST ROW: Left to Right: Margaret Lonberger, Mary Cummins, Mildred DeMusey, Dorothy Spaeth, Nfary Louise Starr, Arlene Buehl, Marie Robinette, Eva Schultz, Buelah Brown, Thresa Naddell, Margaret Long, Mr. Preston, Instructor.

GIRLS’ GLEE CLUB I he Girls Glee Club, which originated in 1911. is ranked with the most popular organ- izations of the school. The Glee Club is in- structive as well as educational. Group sing- ing not only trains the voice of the singer, hut it also teaches the girl obedience and co- operation, without which no organization is successful. The club was really organized in 1917, and from that lime to the present time has been a regular organization of the school. The members receiving one-half credit for two years service. The school shows its appreciation for the efforts of the girls by presenting them with a pin, after they have completed two years of service. This pin can be gained only by service in one of the musical organizations and so is considered quite an honor. I he Glee Club has been directed for the last four years by Mr. Preston. He is a very capable director, as he has had much ex- perience as a soloist and as a teacher of voice culture. The Sunday afternoon concerts, given last year and sponsored by the High School, were aided in their success by the Girls’ Glee Club, file club also had an active place in the semi- annual concert given last spring. The Girls’ Glee Club now consists of 48 members and when these members have served their two years we shall expect to find them enriched by one-half credit, one pin, and much experience.

THE BOYS’ GLEE CLUB Not to he outdone by the girls, the boys asked for a glee club in the winter of 1911. This organ 'station continued with varying suc- cess until 1916, when it was made a part of the regular school activities. In 1923. when Mr. Preston was given lead- ership of this organization, new interest was created. This time popularity came to stay with the Glee Club. Mr. Preston has worked hard with the Glee Club and now has some of the best talent in the school enlisted in this organization. The boys have not only helped in the semi- annual concert, given each spring and fall, but they have also aided in the success of the Sunday afternoon concerts, given last spring and sponsored by the High School. They also presented a very enjoyable evening to the inmates of the Springfield Sanitarium last spring. This organization is very popular among the high school students, and we all expect an enjoyable assembly period when they fur- rvsh the program. Not unlike the other three musical organ- izations of the school, they receive a pin and one-half credit for two years work. They practice on Monday and Wednesday of each week and are at present preparing some very well selected pieces. The boys are ably as- sisted at the piano by Miss Frances Dailey. 28 HI-TIMES KV Vi SPRING CONCERT For many years it has been the custom of the four musical organizations, Girls Glee Club. Boys Glee Club, Band and Orchestra, to give two concerts. Last spring it was decided that it would be satisfactory to have all four organizations take part in one large concert. This concert was g.ven on April 30, 1926, in the High School Auditorium before a large audience. .Those taking part in this concert numbered one hundred forty. It was a pleasing sight to see the girls dressed in white wearing our school colors, together with the boys in their white trousers and dark coats, as they formed into position on the stage. The Band also made a pleasing effect as they appeared in their new uniforms. Altho the orchestra has no special uniform, they attracted the audience especially, by their well selected program. Under the direction of Mr. Preston for the Glee Clubs, and Mr. Schlabaugh for the Band and Orchestra, a very enjoyable program was rendered during the evening. THE AGE OF MUSIC Music is as old as the hills. Ever since time people have expressed their feeling in music. Who can listen to a song of love or a song of war without catching a little of the spirit ? For example, who can hear or sing the song, “Battle Hymn of The Republic” without hav- ing the peculiar feeling of spirit rise within his soul; or who can hear “Love’s Old Sweet Song without having a mental vision of a home, a fireside, a peaceful couple, well con- tent with their life and work? Some of our songs have been handed down through ages. All Times are expressed by these and by reading through a song we can almost glimpse the spirit of the time. How many songs written now are slow and melan- choly? There are scarcely any. It is true we have our so-called popular songs, but every generation has popular songs and so we, too, will have some that will live on and on. Do we hear any light, fanciful music written dur- ing the dark ages? No, all is calm and slow. Even in our histories of ancient times and in the Bible, mention is made of people sing- ing as they go to battle, singing as they re- turned, singing at merry times, singing at deaths—all this before our age of any musical instruments. And so I say, ‘ ‘M usic is as old as the hills.” —Lois Fox. 30 HI-TIMES Vi es? SENIOR PARTY The Annual Senior Party, the first social function to be held after the ban on school parties was lifted, was held in the High School on Friday evening, December 3. We received the impression from those in attendance that this was the best party that has ever been given in halls High, for from the first number on the program to the Home Waltz” everything went along smoothly. The program opened with a humorous read- ing by Helen Smith, followed by a saxophone solo by Fdgar Patten, poems by Margaret Jamwnn and a dassprophecy by Ifl;urebe-H-ar-- r rington. which told us our various stations in 1950. After these numbers we heard from our Locker Room Quartette, in a series of numbers from “Sweet Adeline' to “Show Me The Way to Go Home. The boys sang from behind closed curtains. Then Virginia Carroll entertained with a reading, after which Vernon Robinette and Gordon Eldridge played a saxophone duet, the music being arranged by the latter. Follow- ing that Louise Flickinger gave an interesting parody on Hamlet’s Soliloquy. T he climax of the entire program was a fifteen-minute vaudeville act, arranged and played by Vyra Marria and Harold Hunter. Needless to say this number went over big. as Vyra and Harold displayed clever ability in putting their “lines” across. After this the Grand March to the Gym was held, in which the boys found their part- ners by means of numbers given out at the door. —the Qm everyone pro- ceeded to fill up their dance programs bv ask- ing the girls for dances. Peppy dance music was furnished by “Don Vail’s Serenaders,” and during an intermission a delicious lunch- eon was brought in and served by our li- brarian. Miss Templar. Of course everyone hates to hear the or- chestra play the “Home Waltz,” but most of us departed for our respective homes with that satisfied feeling which comes after one has attended a successful party. “THE HOME-COMING DANCE” The Home-Coming was very successful. The speeches in the first part of the program were models of oratory, and we would all do well to practice up for just such occasions. Some of the boys were a little more bashful than they are at home, but a few of them got courage and asked the girls for dances. The dancing passed the censors, but many feet pro- tested for several days. Everyone made him- self at home. No one was afraid to take all the cider he wanted, and the wafers didn’t lose out in the popularity contest. The “Home Waltz” finally played, as it al- ways does, just when everyone is enthusiastic enough to dance—well, at least one more Fox Trot.” Hut there has to be an end to everything, so we said goodbye to everyone we wouldn’t see until next “Home-Coming.” grabbed those whom we were to see awhile longer, and departed wishing for many more “Home-Coming Dances.” THE JUNIOR PARTY The Junior Party, the second of the class parties to be held this semester, took place on the evening of Friday. December 10, and was a decided success. Taking their example from the Seniors, who had given a very suc- cessful party the previous week, the Juniors all got into the spirit of their own party and made it equally successful. The party started with a presentation of the playlet, “Y, Y, Y,” in the Auditorium. This was a very welcome and pleasing de- parture from the usual custom of presenting a program of varied numbers. The playlet was well prepared, and excellently given. After its presentation, everyone went to the Gym- nasium, and danced until the strains of the Home Waltz announced the close of the party. With its last notes still lingering in their memories, the Juniors departed for their re- spective homes, with the fervent wish that their next party might be as successful as this one had been. HI-TIMES 32 HITIMES GIRLS’ BASKET BALL Last year Girls Basket Ball team put it over on the boys by coming out with a better rec- ord. They didn’t win the championship hut they did put up a lot of fight. The team was the last Girls Varsity Basket Ball team to play for Falls High, and we give them nine rahs and a big yea team with lots of pep. SCORES Jan. $— Ravenna 14 C. F. H. S. 16 Jan. 15— 19 C.

BOYS’ BASKET BALL The Black and Gold Basketeers went through what is considered a fair season dur- ing the year of 1926. starting with Ravenna on January 8, and finishing with the Alumni on March 19. They won six, and lost ten games, giving them a percentage of .375 for the season. However, that percentage does not seem so small in consideration of the fact that, of the ten games lost, six were lost by one, two, three, or four points, one was lost by six- points, two by ten points, and one by twelve points. When one considers that, in Basket Ball, it is not at all disgraceful to lose by as much as ten points. Falls Hi’s record seems to become a great deal better. On top of that, place the fact that our opponents scored 348 points to our 318, giving them only 30 points more than we have, or less than two points more than we had per game, and the results of last season become less and less un- satisfactory. On the whole, after consider- ing all these facts, the season is very success- ful. At any rate, the Falls High Student Body is very well satisfied with it. The season opened on Jan. 8 with a defeat by Ravenna High, 22 to 19. The following week the Kenmorc quintet handed us another defeat 17-13. In this game, we lost the serv- ices of a regular guard, Greenwood. 1 he following night, January 16 we met the strong Barberton Hi five on our own floor and again lost 21-11. However, on Jan. 22, the Falls aggregation took a close game from Kent State 14-13. The next night they followed it up with a victory over Wadsworth 22-13. On January 29, Kent Roosevelt defeated us in a heart-breaking game, 27-26. Bedford took another the following week, almost as close. 26-24. 'Flic next week. Ravenna took their second victory of the season over us 22-16. The following night Alliance gave us the worst defeat of our entire season 27-15. The next week, on Fell. 19, we evened the score with Kenmore by defeating their team 26-20. File next week we again defeated Kent State, this time 22-18. The following evening. Feb. 27, we rose to the greatest heights of the en- tire season when we defeated Akron North in a close, hard-fought battle, 27-26. 1 he next Tuesday March 2, Kent Roosevelt bare- ly managed to take another victory over us 22-20. 'Fhe following Saturday March 6, we fell before Youngstown South. 19-9, in the North Eastern Ohio Basket-ball 1 ourna- ment. The next Tuesday Bedford again nosed us out in a hard-fought battle 30-28. How- ever, we closed the season by taking a close game over the alumni, 26-25, on March 19. Of the players, six received letters. Among these were Captain Hagerdon, Center and Guard; Carl Robey, Center; Clarence Cum- mings, Forward; Ralph Smith, Forward; Leonard Walker, Guard ; and Robert Deitzig, Guard and James German. Manager. Of these men, Cummings is the only one to return for this year’s season. BASKETBALL BANQUET 'Fhe Falls Hi 1926 Basketball Season made its official close on the evening of Tuesday. March 30, when the Basketball Banquet took place. It was held at Spindler’s Inn, and needless to say, was very successful. Naturally enough, edification of food was the matter of chief interest during the early part of the evening. This was followed by a number of interesting humorous talks. Let- ters were then presented to the boys by Mr. Yost, and to the girls by Miss Forsythe. Vs HI-TIMES Then, since there seemed nothng else to do, the party broke up and everyone departed for his or her home. GIRLS' TROLLY LEAGUE TRACK Last spring the Trolley League T rack meet was held in Kent. Ravenna, Kent Roosevelt, Kent State and Cuyahoga Falls were the only schools represented by the girls. Cuyahoga Falls girls covered themselves with glory by winning every first place. Kathryn Keys had the highest individual score of 20 points. Kath- ryn surprised us all by breaking her own record. Next spring Keysic won’t be here to break any record but we hope that the girls that are here will have the best of luck in winning tlie honors again. HIGH JIMP First—Falls. Second—Kent Roosevelt.

The team had no trouble in ending on the long end of a 37-81 score. “Red” Hagerdon, “Eddie” Nylander, Geo. Klein and “Bud” Greenwood were the stars for the Black and Gold. “Red” was high man for the day with 25 points to his credit. T he first annual Kent State Relay was held at Kent on May 23. The Black and Gold team took two first places at this meet by winning the mile and half mile relays. Our relay team by far outclassed anything that our opponents could offer. Hagerdon, Klein, Ewart and Zimmerman were members of this winning combination. This was the second meet of the year which Falls had easily won, so interest in the T rolley League meet was at the highest point. T he annual T rolley League Track Meet was the most eventful contest of the season, with the Falls team coming off with the ma- jority of the honors.

THE LETTER MEN FOR THE SEASON George Hagerdon, Burt Ewart, Edward Ny- lander, George Meneer, George Klein, Sidney Greenwood, Claire Zimmerman. 34 HI TIMES sv’ Va GIRLS’ TENNIS The Girls’ Tennis Team for 1926 had just about everything their own way. In both matches with Wadsworth they won the sin- gles and doubles, dropping only the mixed doubles. They took the doubles and singles from Barberton, and gave Roosevelt and Ra- venna the same dose of medicine. '1 he Ra- venna game was unfinished because of rain. After all these victories, of course, they had to win the Trolley League honors, too, by de- feating Roosevelt and Kent State in the sin- gles and Roosevelt and Ravenna in the dou- bles. The girls that received letters for ten- nis are: Ethel Highherger, Mildred DeMusey, Blanche Harrington. BOYS’ TENNIS The Boys’ Tennis Team went through a very successful season in 1926, playing five meets in addition to the Trolley League, and winning them all. In addition to that, they took first place in Boys’ Trolley League Sin- gles and second in Boys Trolley League Doubles. They opened the season on May 4, with a meet with Wadsworth Hi, losing only the doubles. This was followed by a meet with Kent Roosevelt on May 20. Here they again came out on top, losing onlv the doubles. On M ay 21, they journeyed to Wadsworth and repeated their previous victory, this time win- ning all the matches. On May 24, they went to Barberton, and were again victorious. Two days later they met Ravenna Hi on the home courts. Here the Falls won the singles, no doubles being played because of a sudden rain which rendered the court unfit for further use. As a fitting conclusion to such a successful season, they proceeded to take the honors in the Trolley League Tennis Meet on May 28, by taking a first and second place. Hoiles defeated Kilbourne of Kent Roosevelt, taking first place in singles. Fletcher and German fell before Van Deusen and Johnson of Kent State, taking second place. The boys to receive letters for tennis were: Donald Hoiles, James German, and Ernest Fletcher. Of these Donald Hoiles will return to rep- resent the Black and Gold next spring. THE 1926 FOOTBALL SEASON The Black and Gold School turned out a very good eleven this year, contrary to general belief. The success of a team is not entirely measured by the games won, but the size, experience and opposition met must be con- sidered. Falls Hi had only one real defeat the entire season and that was administered by Kent Roosevelt. Our team fought hard the entire game but Roosevelt and Kilbourne were too much for us. The first team did not play the major part of the Girard game, so we cannot call them to account for that. We lost the Bedford and Barberton games on bad breaks against the team. Both of these latter defeats were due to fumbles which came at the wrong time. Winning five of nine games is not a bad record at all. The football team at Falls High might haje won a game or two more if the student body had been behind them. Yes, at the be- ginning of the season the rooting was fine, but as the season progressed it got worse and worse until at the last game with Barberton only a handful of rooters were present. Now let’s get behind the teams at Falls Hi and back them to the limit, not only in saying nice things about them, but by actually being pres- ent at the games and doing some yelling. For the Black and Gold let’s go! The letter men for the season are: Captain Klein, C. Cummings, Walker, Hinkle, Men- cer, Zimmerman, Searle, Hale, Deitzig, Cas- tonguay, Hagerdon, Fouts, R. Smith. The subs include: E. Smith, Wiley, Ger- man. Dabney, Glenny, Francis, Mealy, Mc- llwain, Richardson, Forshey, Eiesman, Lee, H. Cummings. The injured: ‘'Bill” Camp, “Len Walker, “Curt” Cummings, “Jimmy” Hagerdon. Bill Camp unfortunately had his leg broken in practice in the early part of the season. He was keenly missed by the entire squad be- cause great things had been expected of Bill. The other injuries to the players were of a minor character. Prospects for next year’s team are bright, as many men with experience will be back to fight for the Black and Gold. Searle, Men- cer. Hagerdon and Fouts are lettermen who will be back to bring more honors to Falls High. HI -TIMES 33 '9C- txf CUYAHOGA FALLS TAKES OPENEH On Saturday, September 25, the Black and Gold eleven of Falls High met the Black and Gold team from Newton Falls and regis- tered the first victory of the 1926 season. The game was played on a wet, muddy field with a light rain falling during part of the second half. However, the bad weather did not hinder the Falls rooters, who turned out in force, and under the leadership of Eddie Ny lander did some good cheering. The first quarter started with Wolfe of Newton Falls returning Klein’s kick to the Newton Falls’ 30-yard line. Soon after, Cuya- hoga Falls got the ball on a fumble and started up the field. A 37-vard pass, Klein to C. Cummings paved the way for the touchdown which R. Smith scored from the 3-vard line. Due to the wet ball and the muddy condition of the field the kick for point went wide. The next two quarters of the game were filled with straight football. Both sides tried numerous plays but were unable to work the ball down to scoring distance. In the fourth period R. Smith broke away for a 30-yard run and put it over from the 3-yard line on the next play, adding 6 more points to the Falls score. The try for point after touchdown failed. The game ended with Cuyahoga Falls on the long end of a 12-0 count. The lineup for the first game: Cuyahoga Falls Xewton Falls Cummings L E R.

Falls 11 i Defeats If enmore v In one of the hardest fought games of the vear Falls Hi gridders scored the first Trolley League victory of the season over the powerful Kenmore eleven. The game started with Falls kicking off to Kenmore and downing the runner well within Kenmore's territory. Kenmore punted immediately and Falls, after attempting a few plays, fumbled. Kenmore recovered the ball and fought its way down the field for the first score of the game. The try for goal went wide leaving Kenmore with 6 points. In the second quarter the ball see-sawed up and down the field until with but a few min- utes to play remaining in the first half Falls launched a pass attack which netted a touch- down on a beautiful 20-vard pass, R. Smith to Klein. Klein kicked goal for the extra point, putting a well-placed kick neatly be- tween the uprights. I he second half was a desperate battle with both teams threatening a number of times but neither being able to score. The game came to a close with Falls on the high end of 7-6 score.

Kent Roosevelt Defeats Falls Kent Roosevelt invaded Falls territory on the Homecoming Day and got revenge for what the Black and Gold eleven did up at Kent in ’25. Roosevelt beat us, but the Kent team knew they had been in a football game that afternoon! The contest was one chuck- full of thrills and nerve-wracking situations. Kilbourne’s playing, running, and diving was the thing that beat the Falls gridders. Falls kicked off to Kent and the ball was returned to the 50-yard line. On a series of line bucks and rushes, led by Kilbourne, Roosevelt brought the ball to the one-yard line only to lose her chance of scoring on a fumble. The Falls was charged up with 2 36 HI -TIMES VJ tv points at this time because of a fumble back of her goal line. In the second quarter, on a well executed screen pass, Kilbourne to Ashcraft, Roosevelt scored. Kilbourne made the extra point. In the second half Falls came back with characteristic pep and snap and worked the ball down to the 4-yard line, where it was lost on downs. Kilbourne added another 7 points for Kent in the fourth quarter. The score at the end of the game stood 16-0 against the Black and Gold. The lineup: Cuyahoga Falls Roosevelt L E. Sapp Hale L T .. E.

FALLS rOPS RAVENNA Ravenna Gridders were handed a 9-6 de- feat by the Falls team in a close and exciting Trollev League game. The game was played on a dry field and the Falls team took good advantage of this fact and uncorked a dazzling array of plays. The game opened with Falls kicking off to Ravenna and nailing the runner well down in his territory. Ravenna could not advance the ball and was forced to punt. Falls tried some running plays and then a pass, Smith to Walker, put the ball on the 12-yard line. Ravenna braced and took the ball on downs. For the rest of the first half the ball see- sawed back and forth, neither team scoring. In the second half, Ravenna received the kick off and after a few plays through the line Falls took the pigskin on the 30-yard mark. A pass, Klein to C. Cummings, put the ball on the one-yard line, from where Klein took it over. Klein kicked point. The teams fought evenly until the last quarter, when a bad bouncing punt struck the Falls safety man and was picked up by a Ravenna end who raced to the 5-vard line before he was stopped. Ravenna took it over from there but failed to add the extra point. '1 wo points were scored on a Ravenna fumble back of the goal line by C. Cummings. There was no further scoring, the game ending 9-6 in the Falls favor. The lineup: Cuyahoga Falls Ravenna Searle .............L E........... Collar Hale ..............LT............

BLACK AN1) GOLD DEFEATS STATE On Saturday, October 23, the Black and Gold eleven from Falls Hi went to Kent and took a close decision from State. 1 his was the fourth Trolley League game of the season and what was expected to be just an ordinary game turned out to be a very inter- esting contest. Kent kicked off to Falls to start the game and the ball was advanced five yards. After trying a few plays Falls punted. State could not gain through the line or around the ends, so they, too, were forced to punt. All through the first half tin's type of play continued with both teams making some first downs, but neither having the punch to put it over. The second half started with Falls kicking off to State and holding them for downs. Kent punted and the Falls eleven started an of- fensive that could not be stopped. The team moved steadily down the field for large gains through the line and around the ends. Smith scored on a line plunge and Klein kicked goal. In the last quarter Kent started a pass at- tack and went for large gains and finally for a touchdown before the Falls defense could solve it. Hale broke through and blocked the kick for point, which left Falls on the big side of a 7-6 score. The game ended with Kent in possession of the ball on the 40-vard mark.

Both teams showed spirit and strength by fighting the r way through mud and water, but the Bedford eleven seemed to.be better swimmers, although they were opposed by “Skipper” Klein and his crew. In the first quarter Robinson of Bedford k eked off to the Falls to start the game. The hall was carried back to the 40-yard line and remained within the two 40-yard marks for the balance of the quarter. During the second quarter a pass was fum- bled bv a Falls back field man, the ball rolled over the goal line and was recovered by Scott of Bedford for a touchdown. They failed to add the extra point. In the second half the Falls came back strong and threatened the Bedford goal several times, but each time floated back. The last quarter was filled with fumbles o i both s’des due to the wet field, with neither team being able to score. The lineup: Cuyahoga Falls Bedford C. Cummings ... L E Smichur Hale LT .... .

Girard Team Defeats Falls Eleven Saturday, Nov. 6. the strong Girard High eleven journeyed from their home town to Cuyahoga Falls and administered defeat to the Black and Gold gridders to the tune of 26-0. I he Falls eleven started with some changes in the lineup, with practically the entire first team on the bench due to injuries and other “mishaps.” T he Girard eleven outweighed the Falls team cons'derably. but did not kill the pep and fight of our team. In fact, Girard was surprised to meet so much opposition from such a light team. After the toss up. Captain Hinkle chose to kick. T he first quarter was filled with attempted passes, line plunges, end runs and the exchange of punts, but neither team could work the ball over for the initial tally. However, in the second quarter the visitors pushed over two touchdowns but failed in the trys for point. In the third quarter, Girard succeeded in getting two more touchdowns. In the last quarter with the first team from the Falls against them Girard was able to get only two points. File game ended, 26-0, against the Black and Gold.

The Falls team completely outplayed the Red and White team of Wads- worth in every part of the game. 1 he field was very dangerous to play on, due to “ra- vines.” “gullies” and the like, but the Black and Gold managed to pile up 20 points. T he game opened with a strong aggressive on the part of Wadsworth which Falls soon stopped. Several spectacular plays in the game, including Klein's interception of a pass and dash half way down the field, furnished thrills for the spectators. In the last quarter. Falls temporarily lost its fight and Wadsworth managed to push across a lone tally. Falls came back, however, and was on its way to another touchdown when the game ended.

Falls in Loss to Barberton The Black and Gold gridders went to Bar- berton, Nov. 20, and played the best game of the season. During the whole game the team fought hard and gave the Barberton eleven a real battle. In fact, it was due only to two bad breaks that the Falls team lost the game. T he first quarter was played almost entirely- in midfield, but in the second quarter, Bar- berton fought its way down the field to within a few inches of the Falls goal, but could not put it over. The Black and Gold took the ball on down and kicked out of danger. In the third quarter, Falls had worked the ball down to the twenty-five yard line. It was fourth down so Falls decided to try a place kick. The kick was blocked by Bar- berton and Pristo, quarterback, picked the pigskin up and ran for a touchdown. T he try for point went wide. Barberton scored a second touchdown later on the same kind of a play. The try for point was good. The game ended 13-0 for Barberton.

THE 1920 FOOTBALL BANQUET 'Flic sixteenth annual football banquet was held Dec. 7, at Spindler’s Inn. Everyone but Mr. Yost got there early, but he came in half an hour late. His excuse was that he under- stood the dinner was to be at 6:30 instead of at 6:00. Mess call was blown by Mr. Richardson and everyone made a dash for the tables. Our star right guard, Hinkle, got there first. A very delicious dinner was soon consumed, with “Tuffy” Smith getting most of the chicken. After everyone had eaten all he could the following program was given: Principal G. Roberts......Toastmaster Captain Geo.

S. Yost, Coach ...................Inything Superintendent W. H. Richardson........... ...............A Broad View of the Season Some remarks were also made by Coach Hopp, Mr. Geo. B. Kirk and faculty man- ager, Mr. Smith. The most enjoyable part of the program was an informal debate be- tween Coaches Loudin and Bopp on the rela- tive merits of Hiram and Heidelberg. Thr 1 it'J.j Loot hall Team Because of the remarkable record made by this team and because Falls High will probably never have another like it, we take this op- portunity to freshen vour memory of the “Wonder” team. i'he Black and Gold started the 1925 sea- son by taking the first game from Newton Falls by a 20-0 score. Kenmore was walloped next to the tune of 51-0. Falls knocked off Kent Roosevelt next, 26-0. 'I'he next victim was Kent State, who fell before 36 points for the Falls to 0 for State. Bedford was next to get walked on by a 30-0 score. Barber- ton followed in a 32-0 victory for the Black and Gold. And last Wadsworth, the team who “might not win but would score,” was trampled under foot for a 46-0 win. Falls gridders made 170 first downs to our opponents’ 30 and made 2,482 yards during the season. 40 touchdowns were scored for a total of 254 points to our opponents’ 0. The letter men for the 1925 season were: John Cummings, Clarence Cummings, Roy Albertson, David Reemsnyder, Arthur Hurd, Clarence Hinkle, George Hagerdon, Sidney Greenwood, Edward Nylander, Claire Zim- merman, Webb Firth, George Klein, Mgr., Ford Peebles. Falls Hi’s New Individual Point System Falls High is starting a new Intramural Point System by which more students may re- ceive the Inter-Mural “C.” The school year is divided into three seasons, fall, winter and spring. Any student individual winning the minimum 1,000 points receives an Inter-Mural “C.” In place of the captains we have what we call a player-manager who performs the duties of the captain. For this, the player- manager receives some individual points. Eligibility rules are the same as in the pre- vious years. 135 points is the maximum number that can he obtained in a season, so this letter may be obtained no sooner than the latter part of the Junior year. All rules regarding eligibility are the same as those of the Ohio High School Athletic Association of 1925-1926. This new system will bring more enthu- siasm about among the students, and more students will participate in athletics and try to procure the “C,” which has been held by the Varsity members only in previous years.

It originated in the fall of 1924. and from a very small mem- bership has grown until at the present it has a membership of twenty-five. Credit for this rapid growth and development is largely due to Mr. Cooper, its faculty advisor, who Has given it a great deal of attention in the short period that it has been under his direction. The Hi-Y is the High School Organization of the Y. M. C. A., and has branches through- out the entire country. It is an organization whose purpose is to entertain the boys both profitably and wholesomely, while still giv- ing them some worthwhile lessons. The pur- pose as stated by the club itself is to “create, maintain, and extend throughout the school and community the highest standards of Chris- tian character.” To judge from the results among the student body, we believe that their purpose has been successful, so we wish to congratulate the Hi-Y for its good work. 42 HI -TIMES VJ s? THE GIRL RESERVES CLUB OF FALLS HIGH 1 he Girl Reserve Club of Cuyahoga Falls High School was organized in February, 1925, by Miss Larncd, an active Y. W. C. A. and Girl Reserve worker. Fhe club progressed under the supervision of Miss Brown and Miss Van Benschoten; later under Miss Brown and Miss Newman. At the present time Miss Brown is the only advisor. There are at the present time, 50 members in the club, and many more would like to join were it not for the fact that fifty is about all that can he taken care of at the present time. Fhe work of the Girl Reserves is to act as missionary and welfare workers and to promote good will. They do charity work during holidays and help to cheer up the sick. Last year, some of the girls worked with the welfare association in Cuyahoga Falls and helped deliver gifts, clothes, and food to the poor. As to the standards of the Girl Reserves, they are always high and try to live up to their code and purpose. After two years of faith- ful service in the club, the girls are awarded a small ring, on which is the blue triangle, symbol of the Girl Reserves. HI-TIMES 1 Manual Arts Department Character training and development is one of the primary objectives of the Manual Arts Department. As the boy becomes interested, he concentrates his mind on the work instead of letting it wander, as he does when he is forced to do anything about which he is indif- ferent. Woodwork leads the boys' impulses to activity in the right direction. It stimu- lates delight in his work, encourages careful and neat work, and produces a love of dili- gence and other virtues. It serves to develop strong, healthy characters. In the guidance of the boy’s impulse to be doing, and in edu- cation of the will, lies the highest office of our shop work. In the manipulations of the hand tools, in changing or transforming the shape and form of material, thought, study, method and ac- curacy, are called into play. He can visualize the product of his efforts. Since the boy can see the product which he has made, and knows the time required for the operations, he begins to appreciate the value of time, labor and ma- terials and thus is taught most concretely a practical lesson in economics. Often the boy has to work with his fellow students on a shop project. This emphasizes the importance of co-operation with the other fellow and teaches him to value the other’s abilities. It compels both to work together toward a common end for the common good. In building better furniture we aim to build better citizens. Inspiration first, persoiration second, with thinking always in the lead. Here lie is learning to think under h:s own hat. I he making of useful pieces of furniture de- velops initiative and makes the boy construc- tor and producer; this stimulates self reliance and impresses the boy with the fact that to be of value to society he must do something that will be of help to the other fellow. —Benjamin F. Cooper. Room 10 Instructor. Mechanical Drawing Mechanical drawing is the language of world industry. As it was the first means of recording and communicating man’s ideas, it will always continue to be the most valuable and definite language of the industrial world. Mechanical drawing develops the power of imagination, educates the eye, and is more in- teresting than words. It is the alphabet of the engineer, and without this the workman is merely a hand. As drawing is the universal language, it enables the people of any foreign countries to read and reproduce the print with the greatest «accuracy. Drawing is very valuable to the student as it involves mathematics and geometry. If it were not for the way.this subject is being in- troduced in the schools at the present time, all of this valuable material would be lost. Mechanical drawing is a means of exact description; it surpasses all other languages; it develops exact power of thinking and im- agination. All of these powers are later used in unlimited ways in commercial life. —JF. Cannon. THE El HR AH V Perhaps there is no organization in connec- tion with our High School that so well repre- sents the spirit of co-ordination and co-opera- tion as does the Library. When the school was built in 1922, great care was taken in planning the library. The placing of the shelves, the seating arrangement, the lighting and everything that goes to make up a modern library, were carefully studied in order to make the library up to date in every respect. With the installation of the library, the faculty aimed to make it a working laboratory for the whole school. This has been accom- plished by a system that gives each student at least one hour in the library each day. Cuva- hoga Falls High School was a pioneer in this method of library management. Tt is a sys- 44 HI-TIMES — Vi tem that is used in only one other school in the United States, and there with modifica- tions. The purpose of this arrangement is to cultivate a taste for better books, to interest people more in current topics, and to aid pupils in their classroom studies, keeping in mind always the development of that culture that comes from contact with the best books. When the library was first organized, there were about 900 books on the shelves. 1 his number has grown to approximately 3,550 vol- umes. With the completion of the building next fall a new library will be added, which will contain equal equipment and opportunity for library work. As the library developed, a library training class was introduced into the regular course of study. This class was organized in 1923 and has been a popular course ever since. One half credit is granted for a semester’s work in the class. The purpose of the class is to fur- nish training for those who wish to take up library work. The system also furnishes a training for those who take up office work. The use of the library has far exceeded ex- pectation. Visit the library and ask to see the daily records of circulation. You may be surprised at what you find. In general the experiment has been most gratifying. It is now possible to see definite results in the pupil's school room work and the library is attributed to be the common center of all school interest. This library is not a com- petitor of the public library service. It is rather a feeder to the public institution as pupils leave school with the library habit es- tablished as a part of their school training. This course furnishes a training for those w ho wish to take up commercial work, as the files and hook shelves must be kept in perfect order. —Ford Peebles. STORY TELLING CLASS Although the story-telling course is just a half-year subject, it is very important and ben- eficial. Everyone who has the opportunity to enter this department should do so, as it is in- teresting and especially helpful. In the many fields that are open today there constantly arises the opportunity for your idea of the subject and yet for the most of us it is very difficult to speak to a group. The story- telling class is the place to get this practice. The story-telling course helps one to ap- preciate stories and brings one in contact with a greater variety of them. Story-telling helps one to express a thought in his own words and to choose the right kind of words to fit the subject. So do not think that story-telling is just a side line in high school, but think of it as an essential in getting a well-rounded educa- tion. No matter what one does after leaving school he will be able to use this training. It is a great help in college to have the ability to speak well in the class rooms as well as in the many clubs and societies. It is also an aid in business because every employer is look- ing for the person who has the faculty of ex- pressing his ideas as well as a good, general education. —Margaret Wolfe. THE SCHOOL ROND ISSUE The recent election proved very plainly the interest that the people of Cuyahoga Falls manifest in their schools. The passing of this bond issue makes pos- sible the building of a new addition to the High School and the buying of new and more modern equipment, which will, of course, in- sure more efficient and thorough training of Cuyahoga Falls students. This loyalty of the people of Cuyahoga Falls is greatly appreciated by the adminis- trative officers and by the students of both the High and Grade schools. —Marcella Crotty. THE SWIMMING POOL Do You Remember The old swimming hole. Where we used t’ swim ? I he cool, refreshing water, and those ole memories ? How we used to beat it down there, right after school? Well, are those days gone forever? Here’s where we hope not! Cheer up, fellows, the school’s gonna build us a regular swimmin’ pool, full of good pure water and regular divin’ boards an’ everythin’. Can you imagine —taking a nice, refreshing swim after school, or maybe in your off period or even in gym. Why, everybody would take gym, then. Well that’s what you’ll be able to do when this new school building is completed. That is if we boost this swimming pool project a whole lot! You know there’s a rumor going around that we won’t have enough money for a pool, VJ — HI -TIMES but it we just tell everybody how much we really want one and need one—then when everybody starts talking about it, why of course Mr. Richardson will see that it’s nec- essary to have a swimming pool and will stretch the money and build one for us. Oh, boy! Won’t that be grand? OUR NEW BUILDING The greatest hope of our young lives was realized when we learned Wednesday morn- ing, November 3, that the bond issue had passed. On that morning the dream of the whole school became concrete as Mr. Rich- ardson vividly explained the plans in assembly. We could almost imagine ourselves in the new building, but alas! we Seniors shall never know the pleasures of it. Mr. Richardson was very joyful and a sense of happiness per- meated through the entire student body. The attention of the students was especially no- ticeable as mention was made of the possi- bilities of a swimming pool. We Seniors wish all the pleasures and joys of the new building to the under classmen and we hope that you will care for the new building as much as we love the old. Perhaps we do not appreciate enough those things that are given to us by our voters, but we can cer- tainly show our regard by respecting the build- ing that is to be. —Louise FFickenger.
