We choose as our theme, DeVilbiss. Since it is the first school publication of this kind we devoted much time and space to descriptions and photographs of the build- ing. Also, since the edifice bears the name of the late Thomas A. DeVilbiss, we felt it fitting to dedicate our first volume to the spirit he typified. We wish to express our appreciation to all those who worked so faithfully and diligently on this project. Their co-operation made possible our first edition. As time mellows friendship, let it also mellow the pages of this book, a reminder of DeVilbiss. Therefore we hope as the years go by, this publication will become more and more endeared to the DeVilbiss students. If this end is attained the staff will feel that their efforts have not i • been in vain. „ „ ., . n o I d Keva Calkins - - Editor three . THOMAS A. DeVILBISS 1878 1928 His was the mind of a leader; a genius among men — but greater than these, his was the kindly heart that made him brother to all mankind. 19 lb e vi lb iss THOMAS A. DeVILBISS GAVE US OUR NAME T HE name of our school is one of which we may well be proud. Our school is named for a man who was unquestionably Toledo ' s foremost citizen. pot O When one studies the many activities and interests of Thomas A. DeVilbiss ' one is impressed with the fact that few of them were such as to bring him any direct personal gain — excepting that very great gain which comes from the happi- ness of helping others. Thomas A. DeVilbiss was known and honored for his inventive genius and outstanding business ability. And yet it is not, primarily, as an inventor or as a business leader that his memory is enshrined in our hearts. Many were the fields of endeavor in which Thomas A. DeVilbiss served his fellowmen, both through his own intensive personal efforts and through his liberal contributions to civic enterprises. As a member of the Board of Education, he was a leader in the movement which gave to Toledo its beautiful and modern school buildings. He was an officer of the Boy Scouts of America, and his generosity made possi- ble the Scout Reservation here. He was President of the Community Chest, a director of the Young Men ' s Christian Association, a trustee of the Toledo Museum of Art, President of the Chamber of Commerce, and Commodore of the Inter-Lake Yachting Association. And yet immersed as he was in these many absorbing interests that demanded so much of his time and thought, his courtesy and kindness, his friendly greeting and warm smile, were never known to fail. The name of our school will be a constant source of inspiration to every student who goes forth from these halls. The name of our school is one to be cherished, always. In appreciation therefore, of his civic loyalty and splendid co-operation in educational matters, and in expressing the hope that his example will imbue all DeVilbiss students with the desire to distinguish themselves as leaders of our community, we respectfully dedicate this 1933 n O | d edition of the Pot 0 ' Gold to the spirit of Thomas A. DeVilbiss. five - o -eK - - - - 6J aj(_jt_. So simple in neat attire; neat not gaudy, Without prejudice it beckons you sweet welcome. e v ilb ISS D. H. H I R pot o go The history of DeVilbiss High School has been very short. There is little to be said of its past. We shall probably write a book about its future, but it is very difficult to tell about its history. The 1933 graduation class from DeVilbiss was cared for as freshmen at McKinley Junior High School. On May 26, 1930 the student body of McKinley conducted the ground breaking ceremonies for the construction of DeVilbiss High School. A very fine program had been planned by the students and the secretary of the Council acted as mistress of ceremonies. She presented the various speakers among whom were Mr. Charles Meek, Superintendent of Schools, and Mr. Roswell Puckett, Director of High Schools. Mrs. Thomas A. DeVilbiss turned the first spadeful of earth. The program was concluded by a very fine talk by the president of the Student Council, Lee Miller. Harriette Keeling, presided and numerous souvenir handfuls from the first shovelful of earth turned were collected by the pupils. Several boys from the student body had visited the offices of the architec- tural department of the Board of Education and learned all about the new building. These boys reported back to the school at an assembly program to build an anticipation of what good things were in store for those who would attend the new school. These reports were discussed fully in Student Council meetings and reported back to the home rooms. The students then began to w plan participation in the activities of the new school being built for them. It is appropriate at this time to go a little further back into the history of our campus and the ground upon which our school now stands. Pontiac, Antokee, Tecumseh, and Little Turtle, famed chiefs of the history of this section, roamed over what is now the campus of DeVilbiss High School. The first two were born and lived within a few miles of here. Several decisive Indian battles were fought but a few miles away. Mad Anthony Wayne reclaimed it for the new nation, the United States of America, at the Battle of Fallen Timbers. Then came General Harrison and Commodore Perry, who drove out both British and Indians and opened the way to settlemen t by the white people. It is hard for us to realize that less than a hundred years ago this whole section was covered by dense woods, with only here and there a pioneer of the white race. In fact, Indians still lived in this territory. A few white people in the point near West Toledo, called Tremainsville, and a few more at the foot of Monroe Street, called Port Lawrence, were struggling for existence in the swamps. Toledo was unknown. Inhabitants of Port Lawrence had to travel to Tremainsville for their mail. Slowly pioneers came to occupy this swamp land near the Maumee River, now named Toledo. Gradually the land was cleared and farms took the place of forests. Roads were laid out and Monroe Street became a highway to the northwest. Less than thirteen years ago Upton Avenue was merely a mud road with very few homes near it. About ten or fifteen years before that the city of Toledo had acquired a location for a contagious disease hospital and selected the site which is now the present campus of our school. People supposed it would be many years before this district would be built up. However, it wasn ' t long till trees were planted, drives were made, buildings were erected. Little did people realize that some day the trees they were planting would beautify the campus of the largest school in Ohio. This ground has been consecrated to the aid of humanity not only physically, but mentally as well. Within the memory of the fathers and mothers of children now pupils of DeVilbiss High School, Monroe Street and Central Avenue were mere sand roads bordered by scrub oak Openings. Shacks occupied barren sites on the almost barren farms. The people were poor — the farms were poorer. Many thought it hardly worth while to stay on the land, despairing of ever making even a good living. However, the people were determined and worked hard. Slowly Toledo grew out toward the country. The de- mand for food made the farms profitable and at last the farms were platted into homesites. Slowly homes were built on these plats and at last the in- creased population made it imperative that new schools be built. McKinley School and DeVilbiss High School are the results, occupying land that was farms only a few years ago.

Modern built-in files, cupboards, bookcases, and bulletin boards aid the teacher and student by providing a means of adequately display- ing teaching material. Base plugs in the room make possible the use of electrical apparatus. Each room has individual advantages making teaching and study- ing more pleasant and valuable. In the art room, one finds slides made from photographs of famous paintings, sculpturing, and architecture. Behind the glass doors of the cupboards are bright pieces of pottery set in a veritable garden of modernistic flowers. The commercial department offers courses which train students for positions in the business world. For typing students, forty-eight machines are furnished in two large, well-lighted rooms, with sound proof ceilings. These students are trained to operate the mimeograph and multistamp machines also. The English room bulletin boards are decorated with illustrations from novels, dramas, and pictures of places famous in literary history. Sets of books belonging exclusively to the English department are kept on reserved shelves in the library, along with magazine articles of interest to the English classes. French, German, Spanish, and Latin are the foreign languages taught here. Each room is supplied with reference books, maps, and pictures relative to the country which uses the language taught. C The rooms in the history department are fitted with sets of maps considered a to be the most complete group owned by any Ohio school. Often moving pic- tures are shown in these classrooms to acquaint the students with the conditions of the peoples and countries studied. In the mathematics department, one finds material for the studies offered. There is an eight-foot demonstration slide rule and a dissectible cone. Each part of the cone is colored differently and when the cone is taken apart each section is self explanatory. Each room is supplied with a blackboard drawing set, consisting of an extra sized rule, a protrac- tor, a 30-60 degree triangle, and a T square. The biology, chemistry, and physics laboratories are equipped to give a pleasant understanding of these subjects. Near the biology rooms is the conservatory whose in- terior reminds us of the phrase from the DeVilbiss school song, shades of violet hue, red and yellow, too, for we find one hundred and fifty different kinds of plants there, all being cared for by students and teachers. A consulting room, a laboratory, a classroom, and a rest room are the haunts of the students enrolled in the home nursing department. These girls assist the school physician in his health examinations. From the large, green-tiled kitchen of the home economics department come pleasing odors. It is so equipped that thirty-two girls may practice to become excellent cooks. In addition to cookng, the girls enrolled in this course are taught etiquette, household management, and the qualifications of being good hostesses. Amidst a row of electric sewing machines and many sewing tables, the girls design and make costumes for themselves as well as for others. Lockers, cupboards, fashion books, magazines, and dressmaking fittings all add to the facilities and pleasures of the sewing course. The fitting room with its platform, triple mirror, and large showcase has witnessed many interesting style shows. In a wing separate from the rest of the school is the industrial arts department. Each of the six shops is provided with a classroom in which the theory of the subject is taught. All of the shops have specially adapted machinery with which the students construct useful articles for the school. Two large gyms permit the boys and girls to enjoy a complete physical eduction program. As a place for study, or committees, the library offers its charms. gold Through the generosity of teachers, parents, students, and friends, the library will grow in size, as a pride and joy of all DeVilbiss boosters. thirteen A R T Thou art of superior merit, To be obscured is not thine.

He began his career as an educator by teaching in an Elwood, Indiana, high school. From there he went to Terre Haute to become a principal. He was first made Superintendent of Schools in Elwood, Indiana; then in Boise, Idaho; in San Antonio, Texas; in Madison, Wisconsin; and finally in 1921 he became Toledo ' s superintendent. The twelve years of his administration have been most successful. Three High Schools, Libbey, Woodward, and DeVilbiss have begun operation under his expert guidance. He has put into practice his belief that the school system should adapt itself to the students, which fact undoubtedly is greatly responsible for the national recognition enjoyed by the Toledo schools. Our Board of Education certainly was very fortunate in finding such a capable man for the position. Toledo schools may well be proud of their superintendent. Mr. Meek, considered one of the leading educators in this part of the country, is affiliated with the following organizations: The National Education Association, the National Superintendent ' s Association, The Cleveland Conference, and many teach- er ' s associations.

Nauts, our principal, centers his efforts on what he considers his greatest privilege — working for the welfare of DeVilbiss High School. How many of us realize the magnitude of his task? We are not aware of the spirit he brings to us, nor of his desire to assist every student committed to his care to become a helpful, self-reliant person. Among the essential factors in the development of our school have been his discerning judgement, his wholesome sense of humor, and his unfailing optimism. Anticipating our needs, he grants our requests when he can, quietly and understandingly. Always working for our good, he patiently listens to our troubles and helps solve our difficulties with the calm serenity that has marked his successful career. He teaches us to meet with good will and courage the obstacles that confront us and to do our work with thoroughness and zest. Because we have known him, we will be grateful to him during the years of that experience called Life. Mr. Nauts ' ability will be responsible for the future growth of our school. We are all grateful to him for the many things he has made possible for us. His firmness, diligence, and skill as a principal have made our student days enjoyable and beneficial. We take this opportunity to thank him for his untiring efforts in our behalf. In future years, we will look back to the happy days spent in De- Vilbiss and then we will appreciate more and more those sterling qualities which have helped to mold our characters and have unconsciously worked -— within us and we will have an ever increasing desire to be like him we so admire, our principal, Merritt C. Nauts. Id twenty-seven o F F I C E F O R C E 1 Miss Lanz 2 Miss Eberly 3 Mrs. Whitney 4 Mrs. Rigney A vital part of DeVilbiss High School is our office force which consists of Miss Florence Lanz, Mrs. Margaret Whitney, Mrs. Eleanor Rigney, and Miss Lorretta Eberly. The office is the center of all school activity. It is our bank, post office, business center, and here both teachers and students are always sure of being graciously and capably received. Do I have enough credits to graduate? Did anyone leave my lunch in here? How much money do we have in our class treasury? The answers to these and many other questions are obtained from these obliging young ladies in the office. They preside over this small realm with perfect composure, giving to each individual their undivided interest and attention. Not only do they answer these endless questions, but they prepare our announce- ments, help us when we are confused, and last, but not least, keep our records for us, good, bad, or indifferent and present them to us on request. We are all familiar with the fine spirit which is a symbol of their fine work and character. They know each of us individually, statistically speaking. We all owe them thanks for their help in guiding our course through our high school career. We are all grateful to them for their many services to us. We want to pass the good word along, Make friends with the office force. J e vi lb twenty-eight F A C U L T Y When, in future years, we shall recall our activities at DeVilbiss, undoubtedly we shall remember them as they were associated with the faculty. How else can this be? Are not the men and women who comprise our faculty essential factors in our existence here? Are they not ever present at our social, literary, and sport gatherings as well as ever ready to devote their time and effort to dispense regularly and systematically such needed information as will increase our knowledge and understanding? Certainly, the teachers are well qualified to engage actively in their pro- fession. Besides fulfilling all educational requirements, the members have done extensive research in their respective fields of endeavor. Bearing testimony to this fact, is Ihe number of degrees, all secured from accredited colleges and universities, held by our faculty. To this accomplishment may be added the first hand observation acquired from travel. Needless it is to say that our teachers are well versed in the art of teaching, for did they not gain their experi- ence in other schools before coming to DeVilbiss? DeVilbiss has gathered and molded into one great united DeVilbiss Faculty, the many teachers from Libbey, Scott, Waite, Vocational, Woodward and numerous grade schools. Under the fine leadership of Mr. Merritt C. Nauts, this assemblage has moved forward. The members have boosted and supported the school in its first weak years and have helped it gain the position it now holds. Coming from other schools, they found it necessary to make adjustments to new surroundings and conditions. In addition, they were faced with the serious problem of aiding students who were still loyal to the various schools from which they were drawn to adapt themselves with the least possible difficulty. Nobly attempted, this task accomplished. Keenly alive to the need for systematic and effective participation in school affairs, this group from the first established a working organization. To Mr. Edward Feather- stone, our science teacher, goes the distinction of being the first president of the august body. This year the leadership fell to the capable, well-liked Mr. Joseph C. Collins, who was ably assisted in performing his duties by Mrs. Esther Shawen as vice-president, Miss Ellen Foote as secretary, and Mr. Ward Bricker as treasurer. Under their helpful guidance the faculty enjoyed a successful year. At the monthly meetings problems and projects pertaining to our welfare gained their attention. Acting with the aid of several efficient committees, this organization effected those activities which helped to produce a better and finer school. To educate the students in the manner in which they may best meet and solve the problems and responsibilities they will encounter in life ' s journey and to help them make and take their places among those of the finest citizens in our community are the aims of our faculty friends. To the seniors of our school the faculty wish to extend their congratulations and best wishes. They hope that the graduates will meet with those conditions that are conducive to success. Knowing the ambitions, desires, and capabilities of the students, they feel certain that DeVilbiss shall have reason to be proud of its first graduating class. Then too, the seniors know that the faculty will always be willing to give them such help and cooperation as they may require in future years. DeVilbiss faculty, the class of Nineteen Thirty-three salutes you. Your devotion to duty and faithful, willing service will be remembered long and well. pot o go Id Something attempted, something done, Has gained respect from all. twenty-nine 1 Earl Adams General Shop; Adviser of Aviation Club.

Robert Bennett To our four years of experience, we seniors bid farewell — with many pleasant memories and a few last regrets. We have come to the threshold of a new era. The end of four years of social life — years of happy association and of valuable experience. Our school h as occupied an important place in our thoughts and will con- tinue to do so, but our regret at leaving is mingled with the pleasure of anticipating what lies ahead. Au revoir to the faculty, school associates, and close friends. To DeVilbiss, our Alma Mater, we owe a solemn obligation to accomplish what we undertake. We bow our heads and, with hearts full of appreciation, ask her blessing to go forth with a hope for her greater glory and fame. With heads held high we depart, ready to meet disillusionments, and to conquer with determination our greatest experience — Life. 19 de vilbiss thirty-four With the approach of those pleasant autumn days of ' 32, the distant glow of a colossal Rainbow became a beauty vivid, alive, crowned with all of youth ' s -, ambitions. This particular arc was not of Nature ' s making, but it was the b creation that represented the feelings of a high school. Just as Mother Nature, _ after a rain, exhibits her color chart in the blue heavens so this coined Rainbow L represents the end of storm and gloom, and the dawn of calm and fair weather. . . It was symbolic of the school as well as the senior class because they were ever IN cheerful and progressive. | In order to understand these seniors in their upward climb, we must view them in their natural haunts. They were the proud big brothers and sisters of a O cosmopolitan group of under classmen; cosmopolitan because the school was only in the second year of existence. Students had enrolled from many different high R schools and it was up to the upper classmen to form a compact, friendly student body. This was accomplished in record time, in fact by the second year, every- S thing was molded into a companionable form by skillful fingers. The hurdles were difficult and numerous, but those ' 33 grads scaled them like thoroughbreds. There was a nation-wide closing of the banks temporarily threatening to delay the senior functions and graduation, but it was met with the true calmness of trust and patience usually displayed by students of DeVilbiss High School. A new deal was the plea of the people and at this time all who came in contact with the ' 33 students knew that they never dealt from the bottom in undertaking new tasks. They started projects and they finished them. The approach to the serene shaded spectacle was trifling to these ever onward, ever conquering DeVilbiss Seniors. This distance was overcome by a Mothers ' and Daughters ' Tea, November 18, which made the travelling more pleasant and friendly. A great lull just before the ascent was covered with the gaiety of a February 20th Fathers ' and Sons ' Banquet. Red the first Rainbow color was overcome by our Seniors with a glamorous Senior Play on April 7. Yellow followed closely the rays of the first, the eternal Senior Prom attended to this timid shade. A friendly Orange hue was heralded by a springtime May Festival on May 2. The Seniors would certainly not permit gloomy Mr. Blue to have any influence on their young lives so they ate him at the Senior Ban- quet on June 2. Violet, the soft shade of eventide, was solemnized by the June Bacca- laureate Service. Graduation, June 16, enshrouded the new hue of Green because our marchers were emerging into quite a new adventure. Why, to be sure, those Seniors could hardly wait to eat again, so they decided to sit upon the last color, Indigo, and have a Picnic on June 17. At the end of the Rainbow is the Pot O ' Gold which meant to these DeVilbiss ' 33 Seniors the permission to enter Life Realistic as full fledged members. Among the Golden opportunities were strewn Silver thread of happiness both given to them to do with as they would. Leading these stalwart students were four capable understanding officers. They represent the boundary and blending between colors and functions. Leaders of these proud persons was President Frederick J. Haase III. He filled the position of president with an ever present fervor. The next artist in order was Philip Abbey, our vice president, a jovial sort, a go-getter, and helper on all occasions. Robert P. Bennett, illustrious guard of the Treasury, watched every dollar with the eye of a skilled economist. Arlene Wood, pride of the feminine seniors, helped to keep the meetings in order by her secretarial works. The above is but a resume of all the activities and accomplishments of those who are now the DeVilbiss alumni. This account is proof of the ability and willingness of these moderns. They are to become future citizens of a good quality, always doing all in their power to better the situation and make the progress cheerful. Now, the Rainbow has faded into the distance to appear before others who prove themselves as worthy as this first graduating class of DeVilbiss High School. pot o ' gold thirty-five !5 Lucille Barnes General; Honor Society ' 32, ' 33; Annual Staff ' 33; Hall Patrol ' 33.

Bruce Miller 2. Ferdinand Unkrich 3. Dorothy Babcock 4. Irving Matthews Our Juniors walked valiantly into the deep forest and readily took Mother Nature ' s hint to hold a Junior Afternoon Dance. All went well until one-third of these jovial juniors fell into a Depres- sion Torrent, but no fear was present for every one of them was saved by the rescuers who pulled them out with a Welfare Drive. The Juniors, feeling so much at home in their environment, gave a party for some green Freshmen who were dwelling in a dark glade. On Febru- ary 21 a veil dropped before the advancing group who stopped to view The Queen ' s Husband with his numerous subjects. On the second eventide, these stalwart Juniors emerged into a glow- ing world of happiness. The finale of their blind road was the festive Junior Hop expertly planned and attended by a brilliant assemblage. What now awaits this energetic, joyous senior group of next year?

The sophomores, were very active last year under the advisership of Miss Carrie Eger. An afternoon dance and carnival were the high- lights of their freshman year. The first meeting of the sophomores was held shortly after the opening of school. At this meeting, the following officers were elected: Robert Troup, president; George Bova, vice-president; Regina Watt, secretary; Robert Wilson, treasurer. Miss Mildred Pasch was adviser. An afternoon dance was given on November 15 in the Girls ' Gym. However, the most important event of the year was the Prom. The initiative they have shown so far may be considered a fore- runner of their accomplishments as upper classmen. sixty-nine Aish, Iva Alliman, Lauretta Anderson, Betty Archambo, Jeannette Arnold,

Both Mr. Nauts, our a principal, and Mr. Mathias, our director of activities, have brought to DeVilbiss, A in addition to their wealth of experience obtained at Waite and Scott respectively, —. special training gained from different regions of the United States; Mr. Nauts, Km at Columbia University, and Mr. Mathias, at Leland Stanford University. I Foremost of all extra-curricular activities is ,of course, the self-governing organization of the student body, the Student Council. At the beginning of the j school year each home room elects one of its members to represent it in the Student Council. These delegates elect a president who, in turn, appoints the V eleven Commissioners as follows: Athletics (has charge of all intramural athletics, cheer leaders, etc.), Clerk of the Board (keeps complete records of all j club meetings), Finance (has charge of Student Council finances, home room treasurers collected ten per cent of all profits derived from school affairs, etc.), | Justice (presides over Student Court), Organizations (charters and directs all clubs), Publications (heads committee in charge of all school publications), j Publicity (has charge of all bulletin boards), Scholarship (has charge of hall patrols, promotes better scholarship), Service (has charge of fire drills, lost and E found, stage crews, etc.), Social Welfare (gives sanctions for all social functions), Welfare (plans assemblies, supervises voting). The above Commissioners are S responsible to the President and Mr. Mathias, the Council adviser. It has only been since the beginning of the twentieth century that the need for a social side to school life has been recognized. Not only are clubs essential to a well-balanced educational program, but they also provide an ideal method for carrying out the social program. For in clubs the individual has an admirable outlet to suit his own especial interests, i. e., a journalism club for students interested in news paper work and a science club for students who enjoy that subject. All clubs at DeVilbiss are under the supervision of the Organizations Commission of the Student Council. One period every two weeks is devoted to meetings. There are certain stipulations which every club must follow: There must be at least one adviser for each club. All clubs must have open membership; no initiations are allowed; dues may be charged only after permission has been received from the Commission. After these and other regulations have been conformed to, the Organization Commissioner grants the club a charter. There are approximately eighty clubs which meet during school and ten which convene after school. Any club may sponsor an afternoon dance. Presentation of an evening dance, how- ever, is limited to the classes (Senior, Junior, Sophomore, and Freshman) or to four or more clubs, combined. All clubs were asked to give an assembly program during Activities Period, and to sponsor some affair at the May Festival. The two school publications, the yearbook and the weekly school news paper, are governed by the Publications Commission of the Student Council. The Publications Board is made up of the Editors, Business Managers, and faculty adviser of the Prism and Pot O ' Gold, Mr. Nauts, Mr. Mathias, and the Publications Commissioner. The home rooms have been organized under the following officers: a president, vice- president, secretary, and treasurer. The home room period is a regular hour in our assembly schedule. The home room teacher acts as personal adviser for each student in her group. She serves as the educational guide in the curricular and extra-curricular activities of her group. The home room, through weekly programs and group discussions of school prob- lems, is an effective agency for developing desirable attitudes and ideas toward school activities. The purpose of this wide and varied program is to definitely add to the academic benefits obtained by the student at school, some social qualities that will enable him to become a more effective member of a vital dynamic social system. eighty-one Great things come in small packages. How true this old adage is when we think of our own class adviser, Joe Collins. Success or failure, he is a true representative of DeVilbiss. Mr. Collins continued his services as adviser from last year. The standards of the senior class have been zealously upheld by him. He has a way of attacking problems with vigor and judgment. He discharges his duties easily, it ' s all in a day ' s work to him. All of our problems, personal or school, large or small, are easily dispensed with after taking them to Mr. Collins. He listens carefully and thoughtfully and quietly issues advice which seldom fails. Confronted with innumerable tasks he always has a smile and a cheerful word. It is without a doubt, his leadership and advice that has made this first senior class of DeVilbiss High School, a huge success. Speaking for every senior, we can readily say, that it is with the deepest regret that we say farewell to him. However, it is farewell and not good-bye because many of us will still continue to seek his advice, after we have left. A most interesting person anyone would wish to know at DeVilbiss is Miss Ann Garver, Junior class adviser. Upon her shoulders there rests many things which she must efficiently execute. She did this and much more. It was through her untiring efforts that the Junior Prom, and many other junior activi- ties were successful. The juniors are indeed fortunate in having such an adviser, to lead their class to success. Miss Garver has a strong determination to make the best of everything. She not only has done this but she has taught all people associated with her to do likewise. Just as Mr. Collins did, Miss Garver also has continued her advisership from the sophomore year. It may be safely said that Miss Garver is a true friend of everyone with whom she has been associated. c L A S S A D V I S E R S That there is no need of introducing this great personage, who is known to all , is a good way of stating the extent of Miss Pasch ' s friendship. Miss Pasch is the sophomore class adviser, liked by all with whom she comes in contact, and always ready to drop bits of advice here and there. As for the position of Sophomore Class Adviser, it is a man ' s sized job in itself trying to advise sophomores, whom everyone knows, think that they know all there is to know about everything. However, Miss Pasch handles it with ease. She has just what it takes to get around them. The success of the sophomore class has been due to her efforts. The class loves and respects Miss Pasch and is reluctant to end such an enjoyable year with her. The Sopho- more Prom is one of the notable successes of the year. Under her enthusiastic guidance and the assistance of the whole class the sophomores should certainly prove to be a great asset to the school next year as juniors. The prominence of our insignificant freshmen is due to none other than the young lady of the tall, gaunt form, Miss Pauline Payne. Miss Payne has helped our little freshies over many obstacles which have been strewn along their pathway. They can boast that as our second freshman class they have been the most outstanding. There is only one answer to the whys. That answer is the con- centrated effort of their adviser. She has urged them on to greater heights and steadily planned their progress. She has watched over them, just as a shepherd watches over his sheep. We take this opportunity to welcome the freshmen into our midst as full fledged class- men. They have proven themselves worthy. We hope that under Miss Payne ' s careful guidance that they may enjoy steady progress and contribute greatly to training in initiative, in leadership, in cooperation, and to an in- i creased respect for scholarship. ® V j lb eighty-two M R. M A T H I A S Mr. Louis J. Mathias, commonly known to the students as Louie, is officially Director of Activities. His tall, lanky form fits gracefully into the niche carved for him by the students in their hearts ' hall of fame. His office is the gathering place of pupils seeking a hearty laugh to cheer them, a word of advice, help on a club project, an announcement to be made, or perhaps to have the music room reserved. His ability, his democratic ideas, and his sense of fairness, have made him friend of the faculty, the underclassmen and graduates. A born leader, he can laugh with the youngsters, and equally well become solemn and serious when the situation calls for it. In decisions he has emphatic ideals up to which he lives. Besides ably advising organizations and their activities, publications, and class projects, he teaches a chemistry class. Through it all he retains his broad grin and strides jauntily through the halls, head and shoulders above the people around him. Mr. Mathias is capable of handling the responsible position entrusted to him. Before the opening of our new school, he spent a year on the Western Coast, carefully studying their activities and organizations. This gave him many ideas which he has successfully carried out. Friend of the young people, kindly adviser of youth, such is Louie Mathias. pot o ' gold eighty-three D E A N S This cheery countenance which graces the halls and gatherings at DeVilbiss is hard to associate with the regal aspect of the man who officiates as the Dean of boys in 122. Here is a man who is hard to fool and yet always is kind and joking. His job is one which at other schools is shared by three or four different teachers. A very striking coincidence was that so many students went to the Ash- Wednesday church services on the day of the arrival of the 42nd Street General Electric Special. On this occasion, both Deans performed their duty well and the 3rd degree which Mr. Diller gave to the culprits was very amusing to his 5th hour class. Oh yes, as a side- line, Mr. Diller teaches Economics and American Government. His dream is to advance these duties as Dean so far that it will go beyond the idea of a mere police officer. He would like to have a small enough number of boys under him so that he could know them all personally and give advice concerning vocational guidance when it is needed. As we girls stand trembling in line at Mrs. King ' s desk with no excuse for yesterday ' s absence or late with no reason at all, we do not realize that this stern dispenser of the school ' s law, who instantly discerns a feigned excuse or a false answer, can be a most learned coun- selor and helpful friend when we are in trouble and know not what to do. For not only must Mrs. King act as police officer for the girls of the whole building by checking upon all the absentees, but she is also often the intermediary in special cases between the school and the home by making personal contacts and interviews with the parents. When the girls in the school wished to organize for the purpose of protesting against an injustice, Mrs- King was the leader who helped us. She has only first hour and sixth hour free for these duties because her regular job is to teach algebra 3 and 4 which she does very efficiently. A favorite among both students and teachers, Mrs. King is not too engrossed in her own problems to speak to all her friends and acquaintances as she strides along the hall. , e v lb eighty-four s T U D E N T C O U N C I L Because DeVilbiss was a new school, bound by no traditions, the student council had a good opportunity first to make experiments and then to inaugurate a new form of student government. The experiment has been suc- cessful, for the student council at DeVilbiss is not just a name, but an active organization. Shortly after enrollment last year a Student Council was formed by electing a representative from each home room. After a few meetings, this body elected a president, who in turn appointed a committee for drafting a constitution. The com- mittee realized the responsibility of framing a constitution which must be suitable for the future as well as the present and gave much consideration to the task. The president, the only elective officer, appoints commissioners from the council who take care of all student activities. Council members then choose the commission on which they desire to serve. By appointing commissioners the best qualified rather than the most popular are chosen. Our council, with the assistance of the teachers and students, has accomplished a number of things. School colors have been selected, clubs have been organized, hall patrols provided for, a lost and found department established, and many assembly programs pre- sented. A stationer ' s desk is maintained and a used book exchange. Intra-mural athletics have been started for those pupils unable to qualify for varsity teams. In addition to these, a plan has been devised by which every courtesy may be extended to our visitors. A student seated at the information desk in the lobby during every period of the day receives any visitors applying for information, issues a visitor ' s pass, and calls a guide from the study room to conduct the visitors to any part of the building. If the visitor enters a class room, he is met by a host or hostess, who explains the work going on in the class room. The council has paid the first installment on our stage curtains and in the future hopes to purchase complete moving picture and sound equipment. Our ambition even goes beyond this, for we would like to bring more books for our library and pictures for the walls in the hallways. We would like, also, to carry out the plans which have been made for extensive playgrounds on the school premises. pot o go Id eighty-five H O N O R S O C I E T Y First row, lift to right: Seeger, Schoedler, Keeling, Cook, Sloan, Damm, Ashenfelter, Egger, Miller, Kuhman, Elliot.

The twenty-nine charter members were chosen on the basis of records in Scholarship, Service, Leadership, Charac- L5 ter. To hold these cardinal objectives as goals for all is the aim of the Society. One finds, to quote its charter: The purpose of this organization shall be to O create an enthusiasm for scholarship, to stimulate a desire to render service, to promote leadership, and to develop character in the student of American secon- dary schools. Formal induction took place in the auditorium, and at this meeting, attended by parents, teachers, and upper classmen, the late Dr. Doerman, President of Toledo University, spoke on scholarship. As an additional five per cent of the Senior Class was eligible in February, the society as one of its activities carried through the induction of the newly elected twenty-six members. At this meeting Mr. Meek, Superintendent of Toledo Public Schools, was the guest speaker. The solemnity throughout each induction was two-fold: it impressed the observer as well as the participants. From the moment the orchestra played for the procession from the foyer to the stage until the informal reception at the close of the program, one felt a note of dignity through simplicity and true appreciation of worth. Thus from the spectators point of view was the program of deep interest ; from the participants, of lasting meaning. Each elected one was grateful for his parents ' attendance at the occasion chosen by the school to honor these students During each induction, occupying a prominent place on the stage was the enlarged emblem of the society. This had been made by students, Elroy Streit and Stewart Raeburn, under the direction of Mr. Pross. At the last induction the symbolism of the emblem was explained by Robert Mellors, chairman of the day. The emblem, and enlargement of the pin worn by members, consists of a keystone, meaning ideals, and the flaming torch, pur- pose. The keystone bears at its base the letters S. L. C. S., Scholarship, Leadership, Char- acter, Service. These subjects were topics presented by four members, John Leslie, Robert Metzler, Jane Sullivan, Marjorie Sloan. As the new members had had no opportunity of ordering emblems, charter members, during the program and immediately after the repetition of the pledge, removed and presented their pins to new members for use for a limited time. A further activity sponsored, but still in the planning, is the organization of an honor scholarship recognition for both Freshmen and Sophomore classes. Since the number of charter members was but twenty-nine during the first semester of the present year meetings were held in the evening at the homes of the advisers. With the increased membership, regular evening meetings will be held at the school. The present society now consists of fifty-four members. In May of this year the number will again be increased by five per cent of the Senior and five per cent of the Junior Classes. The Honor Society had two social meetings at the homes of Miss Louy and Miss Kratz. Upon these memorable occasions many of the school ' s shining examples lost their dignity and usual mien. That fog-horn quartet, composed of Messrs. Metzler, Mellors, Abbey, and Gladding favored us with several charming (?) numbers. The honorable Daniel Jones spent most of the time blowing his money (dimes) into drinking glasses and was Harriette proud? Our distinguished President of Student Council, R. Joseph Metzler, lost his decorum and resorted to tearing his curly locks over the solution to a Chinese puzzle-box. At both places, ravenously, the hungry horde attacked the delectable viands. Afterwards, the sight of all those dirty dishes irked the housewifely complex of our young men, and so, cunningly arrayed in aprons and armed with towels, our Dish-Washing Crew, (Abbey, Metzler, Yager, Leslie, Gladding, Jennings, Miller, St. Clair, Mellors) went to work. No mention will be made of the games played. The members will always look back on those social meetings as one of the nicest benefits of being an Honor gold Society member. eighty-seven s o R E L L E Z E T S Third row, left to right: Gahn, Kibler, Ahrens, Van Wormer, Jordan, Anderson, Gilbert, Hirschman, Martin, Babcock, Buffington, Hawkins.

This was in 1902, but ten years later, it was moved 1 to Waite High Sehool where the name was changed to the present one. The . Society grew rapidly and the chapters Alpha, Beta, and Chi were organized in A schools throughout the city. In 1932 the Delta Chapter was formed at DeVilbiss. The motto of the Society is Nullie Sine Lahore. The primary purpose of the Zetalethean Literary Society is to promote the literary interest of the members of the organization and to interest outsiders in our purpose. In order to carry out this purpose the program committee has T planned many interesting programs. These programs, presented by various members, consist of debates, reading of poems and short stories, short dramatic |-| presentations, and open discussions. Of the many programs, one of the most interesting was a program dedi- cated to the memory of John Galsworthy. Several of his essays, and a review of his novel, The Forsythe Saga was given. On February 14, 1933 the Society entertained the faculty with a Valentine kl Tea in the school library. Refreshments consisted of tea cakes, heart-shaped ' candies and tea. The serving table was very attractively adorned with sweet peas and baby breath and fine glassware. A Bridge Tea was given at the Woman ' s Building on March 4. Table prizes were small wall plaques of silhouettes and colored pictures by famous artists. The tallies were in jade and silver with the name of the Society on the front. Later another party was sponsored by the Club at the Ottawa Park Shelter House. Refreshments were provided and served by the girls. F or the May Festival the school hospital rooms were converted into a nursery. Many children enjoyed themselves while the parents took in the amusements of the festival. Toys and lollypops were provided for the kiddies. Bedtime stories were told in turn by the girls in charge which delighted the children. For babes in arms a special compartment was used where they could sleep without disturbance. The mothers were greatly pleased by the good care given to their children. Our success is due greatly to our three advisers, Miss Ann Garver, Miss Mildred Pasch, and Miss Faye Miller.

Sorelle is an Italian word which means sister, the feeling each member has for one another. Although the accomplishment of this social club has been little, the things which we have undertaken have been very successful. A progressive dinner, P given at the beginning of the society ' s existence, was one of the outstanding events of this year. A different course was served in each girls ' home. |_ A most interesting tour through the Art Museum, conducted by Miss Ruth Knapp was taken the latter part of March. The society saw the new wing, L including the Peristyle and Gothic court. Famous paintings, familiar to all Eeyes, were viewed again by the Sorelle girls. A lovely party, which was given in the home of Miss Rose Bloom, our adviser, was another exciting and pleasurable event in the year. At this time a formal induction of the new members was held. A pledge, written by our presi- dent, Mary Hill, was taken by each girl. It is our wish that this should become tradition and in future years the incoming members will take the same pledge and remain as loyal as the outgoing ones. The regular meetings, held bi-monthly on Thursday evenings, take place in the various members ' homes. A short business meeting of fifteen minutes | j is followed by a social hour. Having refreshed themselves with a light O gold lunch, the girls go joyfully on their way at nine-thirty.

In November 1931, the Epsilon Chapter of C this same society was organized at DeVilbiss High School. Our first year was very successful. D The purpose of our organization as expressed in the constitution is as fol- lows: The purpose of this society shall be to discover and to encourage original j talent; to create enthusiasm for scholarship; and to promote enlightening leader- 1 ship. £ We have earnestly endeavored to live up to our motto, Nulli Secundae, which means, Second to none. j Our colors, black and white are carried out on the sweaters which were especially made for us. The insignia of our society is the Greek TT. C Programs of educational value are arranged for every meeting by our two censors. This year our members have conducted us on imaginary trips to A Russia, Spain, Switzerland, France and Japan. Many interesting facts about the home life of these countries have been revealed to us. We also read several M plays in order that we might select the best one for a program. One program was entirely devoted to a recognition of talent within the group. C To encourage and to recognize superior contributions to our programs, we have adopted the plan of awarding for two weeks the Periclean Insignia necklace to the girls whom the judges select as having best fulfilled this object. Our grade standards are high — B in English and a C average. If any girl ' s grades go below this mark, she is dropped from the roll. Should she bring up her grades again, she may be reinstated. Last Christmas, with the cooperation of the Art Department, we designed and made imitation stained glass windows from cellophane. These were placed over the window panes at the end of the corridors and at the front entrance, changing every school aspect into the colorful light of an old world cathedral. We also presented a Christmas pageant for an assembly program, the costuming and the directing being done by Bernarette Curran who was assisted by Ruth McDermott. The response to the call of the needy was very liberal; the baskets were brimming over. All girls who are not officers in the club have an opportunity to act as chairmen of committees or to serve on a committee. Our achievements are many and varied. Our financial standing above the average. Some of our accomplishments are: A bridge held in LaSalle and Koch ' s Green Room. Every table was filled. A roast was held in Ottawa Park in the fall in honor of our new members. A bake sale helped a great deal to inflate our treasury. Then, when the three one-act plays were given, we captured the prize for having the largest group from our club attending in a body. The annual combined dance of the Literary Societies was very successful this year. Valentine decorations, and also our chaperons, made this affair very attractive. At the Girls ' Athletic Society ' s Co-ed Ball, we had one of the largest representations of any club. As we try to cooperate with the school in every way, we took part in the May Festival. Mother ' s day was not forgotten by our club. We gave a tea in honor of our mothers; each mother received a rose. Last, but not least, of our social activities, was a farewell party given for the seniors by the other members. Due to the extremely large enrollment of our society, we were not able to have spreads and similar things that we would have liked to have had. The officers gave a progressive dinner party for the three advisers and themselves. Much food and fun was had by all. We extend a tribute of appreciation to our advisers, Miss Carrie Eger, Miss Marian Smith, and Mrs. Edith Schwenke, for their untiring efforts to make our club a success. As this year draws to a close, we Pericleans look back upon its passing with much regret. The memories of good times; the many friendships made; the enjoyable meetings in which most of us have participated; these will always remain with us departing seniors. pot o gold m S P H I L A L E T H E A N First row, left to right: Wiggins, Egger, Huntington, Hall, Carver, Keeling, MacDowell, Meyer, Dale, Frazen, Corey, Waggoner.

We believe that we have succeeded in making Tiger Town Phil conscious. The DeVilbiss chapter is a branch of the Scott Society of the same name and was organized by girls who had been members of the Scott organization. Last year ' s activities were many, but proved to be only a fair sample of what was to come this year. We earnestly tried to fulfill the purpose of our organization which is: To learn about and become familiar with the works and lives of great authors as well as to become intelligently aware of our own and other foreign countries and their inhabitants. The following is a diary of Phyllis, the Phil. — September 22, 1 932 — The first regular meeting of this year was held today. Officers were elected — and what fine girls the nominating committee have selected for us to vote upon. We started a drive for new members. October 14, 1932 — Oh how tired I am, but the marvelous time was worth it. We gave a roast up the river and what that crisp, fall air, gorgeous harvest moon, too many hot dogs, potato chips, marshmallows, and too much cocoa can ' t do to one. Each member brought another couple. Gee, we all had fun. December 22, 1932 — Our Christmas tree in the main entrance certainly looked beautiful. The colored lights twinkling gayly on the green branches added to the lovely effect. For needy families we amply filled two green and red baskets. Candy, fruit and nuts covered the tops in profusion. How happy those families were. February 10, 1933 — The gym never looked more beautiful. Large and small red cardboard hearts hanging from red and white crepe paper made it resemble a huge heart shaped candy box. Girls in their soft frocks and boys in their sombre blues, greys, and browns danced to Vern Kalt ' s orchestra. All in all the Combined Literary Society Dance was extremely successful. February 24, 1933 — The Libbey Phils royally entertained us at a tea, today. Orange and black sandwiches were served in our honor. What nice girls they have in their club. March 4, 1933 — We spent a most enjoyable afternoon at Katherine Gintzel ' s, our president. The program consisted of a trio by Margaret Lorenz, Mary Lou Meyer, and Lois Egger, two vocal solos by Betty Mac Dowell, and a poem read by Katherine Gintzel. After this delightful entertainment refreshments were served. The table was decorated in blue and white, with a huge bowl of sweet peas in the center. You should have seen Jeanne Jones, our petite sophomore, eat the blue and white sandwiches. March 30, 1933 — Phil thespians today presented several clever skits based on the original and modern versions of literature read during the four high school j r ears. March 29, 1933 — At attractively decorated tables were seated the members of the Varsity basketball team, coaches, Phil advisers, Reverend Adams, the guest speaker, and members of the Phils. After an appetizing meal prepared by the committee, clever speeches were made by the coaches, and Mr. Nauts, Mr. Mathias, Reverend Adams, and the team captains. Letters were then presented. A fine dinner — but what a lot of dishes there were to wash! ! ! ! April 22, 1933 — A tea for new members was given by the censor in her home. The Phils certainly know how to cook. May 3, 1933 — Keeping in touch with our sister Phils was one of our aims, so today we entertained the girls from the Scott and Libbey chapters at a spring tea in the library. June 14, 1933 — Exams over and what fun we had. A smooth picnic at a cottage on the River Raisin. Food galore, and snap after snap was taken of the club. A fitting finis to a glorious year. To our advisers, Miss Willoughby, Miss Ellen Foote, and Miss Ruth Smith, who aided us in all our activities, should go a major portion of praise. Also, should the officers who last year founded our chapter, re- . . ceive the sincere thanks of every member who enjoys the honor and gold privilege of being a Phil. ninety-three -- -I: w ,: !

These girls have a code, slogan, and purpose. The code represents the highest ideals of true womanhood, the slogan charges each girl to Try to face life squarely, _and the purpose, though simple in wording, is rich in practical value and has a deep, full meaning. This purpose is to find and give the best. Through its social activities, the Friendship club gives its members a better chance to become acquainted with each other and all the girls in the school. This club ranks high in both scholastic attainment and moral standards. Every effort to develop the best qualities of character in each girl is made. The pro- gram committee strives to plan activities which will help each girl learn how to express her individual ideas in her own particular way, and to face the world with a firm will, clear thinking, clean mind, and a healthv body. pot O P All of the girls who have had the privilege of being a Friendship Girl feel that this year has been one of good time and cheer for every member of the club. The members, their mothers, and many friends have enjoyed many delightful social affairs. However, the Friendship club has not concentrated on fun, but has devoted many hours to service for those who most needed help. Activity in the senior club started this year even before school started. When the first football game came around, the Friendship club girls were right there with colorful Pom-Poms. A large group of girls gave a whole sixty grade of orphans at the Miami Children ' s Home a gay, happy time, plus some grand food. Then came a peppy-pot-luck supper with the Hi-Y boys where food and fun were very much in evidence. The tea in honor of the junior girls is a pleasant memory now, as is the joint meeting of the junior and senior friendship clubs. The old Y. W. C. A. club rooms have seen many happy pot- luck suppers, but surely one of the gayest was the one the senior friendship club held this year. Especially delightful were the splash hours both before and after the eats. Again in the field of active service, the Thanksgiving and Christmas baskets brought cheer and happiness to many families, and an inner joy to the girls who gave so generously. However, the social and other activities have not lessened the influence of the stated meetings. Interest and varied programs were presented, combining the talent of the members with the eloquence of guest speakers. Music and devotions have been given a conspicuous part in the programs. Group singing has strengthened the bonds of mutual friendship, and instrumental music has inspired many girls to a finer sense of beauty. No report of Friendship club work for the year would be complete without mention of the big part Miss Elizabeth Johnson, the adviser, has played. She has always been ready with helpful advice and friendly good humor. She has been more than an adviser; she has been a friend. The thought of leaving her will be a factor in making graduation a sorrow- ful as well as joyful event for friendship club seniors. The universal opinion among friendship club girls has been that this year has been for them one of moral, mental, and physical growth, in a way that has enabled them to be better students here at school and better daughters at home. Those who were friendship club girls only one year here at school are sorry they did not take advantage of their oppor- tunity to belong to this gay but serious group the other three years of school; and those who were Girl Reserves in the grades, are indeed II thankful that they have had these chances to be in closer contacts with _ CI girls of their own age. ninety-five H O J M R.

President — Jeanne Jones Vice President — Alice Sprague Secretary — Sylvia MacDermid Treasurer — Mary MacDermid Chaplain — Florence VanCleve Reporter — Patricia Smith Adviser — Miss Marjorie Warner The members of the Junior Friendship Club are a group of freshmen and sophomore girls who are united in loyal friendship. Like their big sisters in the Senior Friendship Club they have a code, slogan, and purpose. The code represents ideals of the highest. The slogan, Try to face life squarely, is deep in meaning. The purpose, To find and give the best, is valuable to all members. The social activities have been numerous. The program was started off with a bang by a joint meeting with the Torch Club, and the Sophomore Hi-Y. The next activfty of the year was the second annual Mothers ' Tea. Our pro- gram chairman with the cooperation of the girls has presented the club with varied, original, and interesting programs. The work of other committees has been notable. The social chairman and a committee of cooperative workers planned, prepared, and served refreshments for our social entertainments. We are making arrangements with the Senior Friendship Club to give a dance which we sincerely hope will become an annual affair. This plan may not develop however; but we have others. We are planning to take good care of our family from The Miami Children ' s Home and are hoping to give them a real party before school is out. P We are very proud of our guest list. Among those who have honored us this year are: Miss Herler of the Y. W. C. A., Miss Curtiss and the International Club of Woodward High School, Miss Payne of DeYilbiss, and others. We are very grateful for the fine work of our adviser, Miss Warner, and hope that at sometime we can pay the debt which we owe her. We are about to turn this club over to this year ' s freshmen and we hope that they will be able to carry on as we have tried to do. We sophomores wish them the best of luck for next year and wish to tell our big sisters that we will be with, of and for them next year R I E N D S H I H O M E pot o President — Bessie Bradley Vice President — Virginia Martin Secretary — Martha Siess Treasurer — Lucille Cousino The purpose of the Home Economics Club is to bring together the girls who are interested in Home Economics and those who will further such interests in the school and in the home. Their motto is Service, and we have strived to do our utmost to carry out this motto. The general topic for the meetings this year has been Interior Decoration. In addition to the program once a month the girls are given an opportunity to ask and help answer any questions on etiquette, through the medium of a question box, placed in the adviser ' s room. There have been social activities during the year — a tea was given at the beginning of this year in our Home Economics Apartment for the purpose of inviting girls who were interested in this type of work to become members. This tea turned out to be very successful because we increased our membership con- siderably. Several weeks later a potluck supper was held at the home of two of the members. After the potluck spread the girls divided into groups and some of these groups worked jig-saw puzzles, while some other groups played ping-pong and pool. The members of the Club take their turn at serving the monthly teachers ' and for many other school gatherings. A bridge party was planned early in the spring but due to the financial crisis, it was post- poned indefinitely. The Club in a body went over to the Waite High School at the invitation of their Home Economics Club to a dance for all the Economics clubs of the city. The first regional meeting of the student Home Economics Clubs in Ohio was held in Bowling Green in March. Students of the Bowling Green College Home Economics were hostesses to the student clubs from this district. Miss Stoll, our club adviser, president, and vice president attended. |j We owe much of our success to our advisers, Miss Marie Stoll, Miss Marie 9 o N O M I C meetings Van Osterhaut, and Miss Ellen Ashley and to the efficient staff of officers. ninety-seven J R.

H I President — Cassius Fenton Vice President — Dean St. Clair Secretary — Joseph Yager Treasurer — Don Percival Serg ' t.-at-arms — John Leslie Adviser — Joe Collins At the end of four years, we look back with pleasure and satisfaction to our associations and activities in the Hi-Y. The theme of Service has been the dominant factor in the activities of the club this past year. A mixer was given for the freshman boys in the early part of the year, for the purpose of better acquainting the boys with each other and with the school. Visitors from Fostoria High School were shown through Ythe building preceding the football game. Members ushered and aided evening programs and pay assemblies in the school. The cleaning of the football field of snow the day preceding the Columbus game was greatly enjoyed by everyone. By means of the Vocational Guidance Banquet, the junior and senior Boys were given an opportunity to obtain an insight into the life-work which appeals to them. Prominent men in every profession and occupation were present to discuss the problems in all their phases. As a furtherance of this idea many meetings of the club were planned with a view to help the boys in a choice of vocation. Representative members of the several professions were guest speakers at these meetings, and we believe that much benefit was thus obtained. A special committee had charge of the wonderful Pre-Easter mass meeting at which a review of the Oberammergau Passion Play was given by Mr. Williams. The Forums held during the month of February by the Hi-Y and Friendship Clubs of the city were highly instruc- tive and entertaining. Joint meetings of the Hi-Y clubs of the school for the purpose of enabling them to work together better, were carried through. The program committee regularly presented programs which left nothing to be desired. Besides the Vocational meetings, others of interest were presented. The big, clumsy, thoughtless seniors were charmingly instructed in the finer points of social behavior by Mrs. Wallace, the Franklin Hostess. College night, question night with the girls, and other programs of vital interest were presented throughout the year. Through the help and guidance of Mr. Collins, our adviser, we believe that we have accomplished its aims and hope that our organization has meant something. R. H I po President — Mason Baer Vice President — Robert Dunn Secretary — Frank Oram Treasurer — William Wittman In nearly every high school, there will be found certain boys who stand out clearly for Christian ideals of living in every day school life. The DeVilbiss Junior Hi-Y is composed of thirty boys who have openly pledged themselves to support the purpose of the Hi-Y organization: To create, maintain, and extend throughout the school and community high standards of Christian char- acter. The four planks of the platform, Clear living, clean speech, clean athletics, and clean scholarship. make the Hi-Y member four square. Y Realizing the responsibilities of the club as a Christian organization, the members put forth every effort to make the club as democratic as possible. The Hi-Y does not reach out for boys to join; it simply tries to set up objective standards of membership with the idea that any boy possessing these requirements may be admitted. Regular weekly meetings are held to transact such business as may come before us, to fortify our hearts through conference and Bible study, and to make ourselves as Hi-Y members of greater service to each other and to the school and community. The club tries to be synonymous with school and class activities. It has attested to this by ushering at the Junior Class Play, putting on an assembly program, and cooperating in every way with school functions. The club is planning to send representatives this summer to the two Y. M. C. A. camps — Camp Storer at Napoleon, Michigan, and Camp Nelson Dodd at Drinkwater, Ohio. Three members represented it at the State Hi-Y Conference held in Columbus last December. The adviser, Don Blackburn, a graduate of Denison University,  | - has done much to better the club. Through his experience and vitality, to gold the organization is rapidly becoming a strong, active, cooperative group. ninety-nine T O R C H C L U B S O P H.

Its purpose is to promote and extend to the boys of the school the idea of Christian fellowship. Extensive plans have been made by H the club for numerous activities. Among these is the fund that has been started especially for the help of boys from foreign countries. The members are ever striving to uphold the religious background of their club, which helps mold the characters of high school boys. Y Sports play a large part in the Hi-Y program. There are various committees that take care of the sports program which consists of many games such as swimming, basketball, baseball, ping-pong, tennis and many others. In addition to this there are other things to be accomplished; World Brotherhood, the annual Father and Son Banquet, plans for summer activities, and the money that is raised annually to send some worthy boy to Camp Storer during the summer. The boy is chosen for his ser- vice and because he cannot afford to pay his own way. Intra-mural sports were well represented by the Hi-Y. Teams one and two made a splendid showing in the basketball race for the school championship. Meetings of the club have had numerous speakers who have contributed many inter- esting and educational programs. What has been accomplished this year is considered little compared to the plans for next year ' s club; the Junior Hi-Y of DeVilbiss. They intend to carry on the Christian fellowship to the extent that the Hi-Y will be the most outstanding club of the school. We wish to take this time to express our thanks to Dick Brewing, our adviser. He has not only made possible our many successful activities but he has interested many new mem- bers in the club. He has helped make our club a bigger and better Hi-Y.

M. C. A. The purpose — To create, maintain, and extend, throughout the school and community, higher standards of Christian character, is the guiding- post of our beginning year in high school. The members of the club acknowledge themselves ready to stand for the ideals and endeavors which help to make DeVilbiss a school of which we can be proud. We realize that much is yet lack- ing, and we as Freshmen hope to aid and improve our school. Our meetings, held at the Y. M. C. A., every Tuesday evening, are planned with four-fold purpose: to acquaint us with our friends and neighbors of other countries, to entertain, to instruct, and to help others as ourselves. We count ourselves fortunate in having as our adviser, Mr. Russell Brown, whose encouragement and appreciation have greatly aided us in our first year. Although the club was not begun until late in the first semester, we feel that we have been of some influence in the year ' s activities. The requirements of the Torch Club are not excessive, but such as they are, the boys are expected to live up to them. Among these restrictions for membership are Grades above C, clean character, clean living, clean athletics, and good sportsmanship. By well organized committees, the club disposes of its business efficiently and well. The Program Committee under Walter Weese as chairman has prepared programs which fulfilled the expectations of the members into the organization with impressive ceremony. The arrangement of the rooms is taken care of by a committee under the care of Homer Bisch. The extensive part taken in intra-mural activities by the club was supervised by the Athletic Committee with Brooks Buderus as chairman. Russell Thayer, with the other members of the Grade Committee, regularly investigates the grades of the members, endeavoring to maintain the standard set by the club. Several social activities have been planned and supervised by the  • j Social Committee, with Jack Fox as chairman. The members confidently O gold look forward to a full and prosperous year as Sophomores. o R H one hundred one ™=3 f vi maw L E T T E R G I R L S First row, left to right: Cook, Coe, Stacey, Washburn, Barber, Thaxton, Howell, Loos, Whitting, Myers, Border, Dale.

A constitution was drawn up and approved early in the formation of the club. This constitution consists of a preamble, motto, articles and amendments. There are two distinct organizations in the society. First, the group which has achieved the honor of wearing the emblem; second, the group which is working for this emblem. The officers are nominated and elected from the former; committees are chosen from the latter. So that only the girls who are most deserving will receive an emblem, the advisers have devised a fair point system which permits only the girls with the highest number of points to become members of the letter chapter. All committees have cooperated with the officers and, as a result, have successfully sponsored the following activities. An annual football banquet given in honor of the varsity football boys, at which time the players received their letters; an interscholastic dance, where all the city schools with girls ' athletic organizations took part; Co-ed Ball, to which only girls were invited and were asked to come in costume. During the regular meetings, outside speakers, who are experts in their lines of work, gave interesting accounts of natural dancing, winter sports, Olympic feats, and history of basketball. Every girl in the organization is conscientiously striving to attain a goal. This goal is represented by an emblem with a modern athletic girl poised on the world with the rain- bow as a background. These awards were made not only because of excellence in sport, but because of participation in all sports. Credit was also given for school activities, scholarship, and leadership. We owe much of our success to our advisers, Miss Gottschall and Miss Ramsey, for it is certain that they have been active in the work of our club. pot o gold one hundred three T H E A T E R G U I L D M A S K AND M A N T L E President — Luetta Wade Vice-President — Lois Hall Secretary — Vivian Brint Treasurer — Arthur Stewart Adviser — Mr. Collins This club admits only those interested in activities concerning a dramatic club and gives each member an opportunity to participate in the work.

Having a membership of about two hundred two girls, our club proves it is popular. Miss Jane Kidney has accompanied us on the piano during the two years we have held meetings. Every member of this club took part in the exhi- bition on March 31, 1933. President — Jerry MacDowell Vice-President — Mary Martin Sec.-Treas. — Bette Ruth Stanley Adviser — Mrs. Morhardt The Beginner ' s Tap Club was organized, under the supervision of Mrs. Morhardt to teach girls interested in tap dancing the beginning steps. The first class was spent in learning the fundamentals of tap dancing and during the following periods, the members practiced until they had a good start. From then on the time was spent in learning some of the more difficult steps. We feel that our time has been well spent, and are hoping to continue our purpose. e vi Mb one hundred sixteen D A N C I N G S T A M P pot o President — Wilma Lessentin Vice-President — James Mumford Secretary — Stuart Kasch Treasurer — Margaret McCullough Advisers — Miss Lukens, Miss McHugh The Dance Club was organized for the purpose of giving its members an oppor- tunity to learn and to practice ballroom dancing. The Club meets bi-weekly under the instructions of Miss McHugh and Miss Lukens. The dance members are rapidly becoming proficient in the simpler dances. If you see a couple of Junior High students gliding gracefully around a dance floor sometime, you may be sure that they were members of the Dance Club. President — Robert Austed Vice-President — Arthur Black Secretary — Barbara Brenner Treasurer — Max Biringer Adviser — Miss Nellie Foote Our purpose is to bring together those interested in philately. We share with each other our knowledge of stamps. Our aim is to learn more about stamps than we gain through our separate knowledges. The club has its officers who preside over the business meeting. Our program follows and the remainder of the period is used for an exchange of stamps. Contests and displays are extra activities. Our club is in- g O I d deed a success. one hundred seventeen L E A D E R S V A R S I T Y President — Don Reilly Vice-President — Renwick Taylor Secretary — Lee Miller Treasurer — Dan Jones Advisers — Mr. Pollman, Mr. Rice The club was organized with only the boys who had earned their varsity letters in any one of the inter-scholastic sports. The purpose of the club is to uphold the standards and qualifications that the school athletic letter D signifies; to interest and encourage other students in the school to cooperate in creating and maintaining a commendable school spirit; and to assist the athletic department in every way possible to put across a successful athletic program. President — Dick Girkens Secretary — Joe Simon Treasurer — Jack Prall Adviser — Mr. Wagner Physical education affords countless opportunities and responsibilities to skilled leadership, one of the qualities a sound system of education attempts to develop in the individual. For this reason the Leaders Clu b was organized to offer those students interested in Physical Education, who have successfully com- pleted the work prescribed in the Required Program, an opportunity to exercise these qualities, as Squad Leaders. The Leaders assist in all Freshman and Sophomore Physical Education classes, Intramural activi- ties, and aid in the selection of squad activities. — e vi Ibi one hundred eighteen F E N C I N G £ -£ ! ,: R I D I N G pot o ' gold Captain — Charles Davis Coach — Pierre Pasquier Last year saw a new activity added to the growing list of the school sports. In spite of the fact that the fencing team was started only last year, it has done remarkably well. The team defeated Monroe, Mich., but was defeated by the Toledo Y. M. C. A. Four exhibitions have been given. The season is not over yet, as the team is attempting to enter the National amateur Fencing League. President — Jane Rinehart Vice-President — Alice Williams Secretary — Alice Williams Reporter — Betty Green Adviser — Mr. Pasquier The purpose of this club is strictly athletic. There are only three officers who take charge of all affairs. Instead of a constitution, a set of laws was made to regulate the duties of the officers and members. Meetings are held in the offices of the Ottawa Park Riding Stables, and in the ring the girls are instructed to ride correctly. During the past year each member has felt that she has acquired a better feeling of sports- manship, confidence, and understanding of horses. one hundred nineteen Lict tH?S c H A R M T U M B L I N G President — Charity Wernert Vice-President — Harriette Keeling Secretary — Grace Blackburn Adviser — Miss Gottschall The purpose of the Tumbling Club is to learn more about and to better ourselves in tumbling. Since January, most of our period has been spent in preparing for the gym exhi- bition, March 31st. We were taught the rocking chair, flying angels, double rolls, dives, head stand, pyramids, and many others. There is a beginners ' and an advanced class which gives every girl a chance to keep busy and learn something new. It is very good exercise for all the girls. President — Margaret Kirkland Secretary — Glenda Crouch Adviser — Miss Stowe The Charm Club was organized for the purpose of studying how to increase the pleasing appearance of both home and self. We discussed color and its relation to both type of room and degree of sunshine. We plan to study furniture periods. We also discussed the care of hair, nails, and skin, asking Mrs. Mann, a specialist in beauty culture, to give a demonstration to one of the members, explaining as she did so, the correct use of make-up. We sincerely hope this fine club will continue next year.

The meetings during the last months were spent planning the club activities outlined for the May Festival. e vi lb ISS one hundred twenty-two M U S I c R A D I O 33 President — Don Flory Vice-President — Don McDermid Secretary — Martha Seiss The Music Club meets on alternate Fridays during the club period. It was organized for the purpose of studying and appreciating music; composers, their lives and their works. There have been musical programs, by phonograph and by radio. The members plan to culminate what they believe to have been a very successful year, by a picnic in the spring. We owe much of our success to the careful guidance of Mr. H. M. Emery. President — Ted Pett Secretary — Robert Cummerow Treasurer — Robert Yager Adviser — Mr. Merrill This club has shown a great improvement over last year. The program com- mittee, headed by our able chairman, has consistently furnished the club with good programs, which have been made up of outside speakers, most of whom were radio operators. Although some of the members still fail to take an interest in the activities of the club, we feel that we have a very successful club, thanks to our adviser, Mr. Merrill. pot o ' gold one hundred twenty-three p R I N T I N G R O D AND R E E L President — Robert Keeling Vice-President — Mervin Tyson Secretary — Kenneth Greenaway The Rod and Reel Club which meets in the woodshop was founded in 1932. Its purpose is to stimulate interest in angling and bait casting. Under the leadership of Mr. Irving Pross, the club ' s adviser, the members learn how to make their own arti- ficial baits. Many interesting projects are planned and the members intend to put to use what they have learned by going on fishing trips and using what they have made. President — Elmer Baum Vice-President — Richard Broadway Secretary — Nellie Mae Hardy Treasurer — Carlton Bordner Adviser — Mr. Romberger The Printing Club has set up as its aim and purpose a clearly defined program to those who are interested in the study and the development of the trade and allied field with no particular emphasis on the advanced standing in the trade. With this view- point in mind, a study of mechanics and various labor-saving devices are made. The universal use of its product and the enormous field which it covers gives the group many interesting problems of research. e v ilb one hundred twenty-four R. A V I A T I O N J R.

We have three fine teachers who have carried on the musical work in a very successful manner. Miss Bessie Werum, one of the best musical directors, is at the head of all Toledo orchestras. She is very popular due to a personality that is not excelled anywhere. She has that ability of being able to understand each of the individual members of the orchestra. The orchestra at DeYilbiss is the largest in the city. It has seventy members. Miss Werum is very well pleased with the eager students ' work. She enjoys working with them and believes that there is a great deal of promising talent in the school. With this talent in the orchestra, next year should be a big success, and our orchestra should be the best in the city. Mary Lou Meyer has been concert master for the last two years. Her successor has not yet been named. The concerts given by the orchestra are greatly enjoyed by all who attend. Each year one evening concert is given and one concert for the students. An appreciation of the value of the orchestra was very evident by the attention shown at these concerts. Each year a concert is given in the Art Museum. This year the use of the beautiful new Peristyle was granted. That the con- certs were enjoyed may be evident in the fact that the record crowd applauded heavily. F I N E A R T S The orchestra also accompanies the chorus with all of its operettas. The officers of this organization sponsored a dance which was a large success. Pro- ceeds were used for the purchase of instruments, as were the concert receipts. The chorus at DeVilbiss this year is the largest in the city. Mr. Clarence Ball, the very able director is well liked by all who come into contact with him. His fairness of judgment win him friends wherever he goes. His ability as a director and singer is undisputed. On a few happy occasions he gives his pupils the rare treat of singing for them. These days linger in the memory of all who hear him. The chorus ' presentations of operettas are well attended and enjoyed. This year the operetta Carrie Comes to College was well done. Ruth Feeny who played the title role was excellent as was the supporting cast. Ruth ' s voice has a quality which is not common in high school students. Under the direction of Mr. Ball, the voices of all members of the chorus are well trained. The second operetta was Captain Crossbones. The lead was taken by Homer VanSickle. This presentation was completely enjoyed by a large crowd. The band at DeVilbiss has been very faithful and responded generously to the requests made upon them as did the other musical organizations. Mr. Guy Sutphen, the jolly popular director, is well liked by all who know him. He has made the band into one of the best in the city. They present an evening concert each year. The one this year was well attended and enjoyed immensely. Floyd Moan is concert master. The band played for all the football and basketball games. They have very striking uniforms which were given by Mr. Henry Page. The drum-major this year was Don MacDermitt. He was very good and everyone enjoyed watching him strut. A concert was also given for the students this year. This was greatly appreciated and very well done. The crowning program of the year was the May Festival which was given in the Scott stadium, May 28. It was given by the combined bands, orchestras, and choruses. The band and orchestra concerts were excellent as was the chorus ' presentation of Carmen. This was accompanied by a select , . 1 1 ■ orchestra. Altogether the musicians and singers of the school have had j ® V I D ii S S a very successful two years. one hundred thirty-four G L E E L U B The Glee Club was organized in 1931 under the direction of Clarence Ball. An Indian Operetta was given first, and then the glee club finished a successful year by singing in the May Festival at the Civic Auditorium. In 1932 the glee club began by giving the operetta, Carrie Comes to Col- lege. The next operetta was Captain Crossbones which was very clever in both the singing and speaking parts. Again the glee club participated in the May Festival which is an annual occurrence. This year the Festival was given at Scott High School in the stadium where a shell was built to hold one thousand participants. The officers elected were: Dave Jackson, President; Ned Miller, Vice President; Betty MacDowell, Secretary; and Ben Starrier, Treasurer. bopranos: Betty MacDowell Margaret Frisk Glenda Crouch Lillian Rymers Y ilma Groh Nelva Miller Marion Wilkinson Enebelle Mattox Mildred McCullough Kathryn Robinson Lota Peart Ruth Loos Betty Thaxton Garnet Semoff Helen Lewis Ruth Feeny Ila Cranker Mary Jane Price Iva Dove Marv Catherine Reeg Betty Mills Marjorie Beroth Ruth Tallman Kathryn Dresslar Josephine Sturniolo Margaret Diener Aurella Krapp Francis Bierbaum 33 Marian Lewis Marie Smith Betty Seren Jeannette Pitzen Barbara Vernon Delores Putz Henrietta Hayes Dorothy Johnson Orma Bean Eunice Carson Frances Fishleigh Minnieruth Bushman Dorothy Kinney Virginia Renn Norma Prettyman Jeanne Drager Margaret Radabaugh Altos: pot o ' gold Dorothy Kitterman Ruth Vernier Helen Mason Elaine Zachrich Georgia Thaxton Joan Wetherald Ruth Eichman Wilma Kitterman Mary Lou Mayer Ruth Lamson Gertrude Stacey Mary Jane Coe Maria Petrie Lorraine Coombs Betty Martin Mary Leola Reed Margaret Martin Mary Ellen Mills Betty Jane Rodgers Virginia Porter Elsie Seegren Ruth Vance Ruth Mara Jean Ford Margaret Keihne Helen Nieft Pauline Herzlerg Ellen Boyne Bettv Sweet Betty Bischoff Tenors and Basses: Dave Jackson Earl Wilson Jack Willets Paul Kirkendal Alfred Weilman Charles Wynn Harry Pascow Eugene Warren Ned Miller Thad Moore Gene Smith Jack Merrill Cliff Minke Homer VanSickle Harlon Moan Don Fulton Marvin Yewey one hundred thirty-five B A N D Our band was organized in 1931 under the direction of Mr. G. V. Supthen. It has participated in several activities; namely, the annual May Festivals of 1932 and 1933; the annual Band Concerts at school, and last, but not least, the football games. No small part of the enthusiasm shown at the games were due to the spirited rendition of music by the Band. They played at every football game, the trips to Fostoria and Fremont being financed by voluntary contri- butions of the student body. At this time we wish to express publicly our gratitude to Mr. Sutphen and Mr. Henry Page. The former for writing the De Vilbiss Marching Song, which won the instant approval of student body; and the latter for his generosity in contributing the striking uniforms with which the band has been outfitted.

It would be appropriate to have each pupil copy it down for future use. I will endeavor never to bring disgrace upon DeVilbiss High School by any dishonorable or unworthy act. I will work for the ideals and welfare of this school, both by myself and in cooperation with others. I will obey the rules of the school and will encourage in other students the spirit of obedience. I will strive unceasingly to increase the sense of duty and ser- vice in myself and in my fellow students and I will attempt to make this school greater, better and more beautiful than it was when I entered.

Rah — Rah — Rah. one hundred thirty-nine The aim of all dramatically inclined DeVilbiss students is the Honorary- Dramatic Society, the culmination of membership in the Playshop Group. The purpose of each organization is to produce and manage dramatizations. To enter the playshop organization, one must have a standing average Q grade of no less than C and be recommended by two teachers. The prospec- tive member must report on the nights designated by the chief clerk, fill out the P form honestly and present himself promptly when called. To enter the Honor- ary Dramatic Society of the Play Shop Organization one must put in one hun- dred and fifty hours of work as a member of the Play Shop group. He will then be eligible to hold an office in this group and be accepted in full as an Honorary M Dramatic Society member. A The first scenery was constructed in the shops. In order to build scenery, _ one must have a complete knowledge of color, lines, and stage sets. Miss I Eger taught the necessary details for building scenery in the Oral Expression class. Stage models were made in class and colors decided upon for the flats. 1 These flats are made in the professional size. Colors are selected according _ to the mood of the play. Three coats of paint are used so that the light can C pick up the colors. Each coat of paint is a different color and texture. The _ frames were made in the shops, under the supervision of Mr. Pross. Members b then stretched and tacked canvas. The canvas is then glued to the frame. It is necessary to put a prime coat on the flats to serve as a base for the paint. Two coats of colored paint are spattered on the flats. Buff colored paint is used over these two coats to give the proper effect. Stage braces are used to hold the set up, making it necessary to put cleats on the frames to hold these braces. Screws in the floors are used to hold the whole set solid, complete the passages. Door-jams were made by the shops to In the absence of properties, pantomime (the actor ' s stand-by) is used. Due to lack of room, the organization moved its properties to Room 133. There the remainder of the scenery was constructed, and the properties kept. It is always used as a make-up room. Each character has a definite place in which to make-up. Those persons interpreting roles older than forty years are seated at their tables on one side of the room and those playing younger roles at another side. The night of the Passing of the Third Floor Back, Ross Miller, stage manager, called Strike and the play was in progress. There were several P. T. A. executives backstage during the play and it annoyed no one. There was no nervousness; everyone stepped into his roles with alacrity. It is one of Miss Eger ' s pet ideas that in order for any plan to be a success, each character should live his part for at least a half hour before the production and a half hour afterwards. The role must be a part of the actor — he must live it. The Reverend Mr. Talmadge, of St. Mark ' s Episcopal Church, said that The Passing of the Third Floor Back was the best amateur performance he had ever seen. It impressed him so greatly that he based his next Sunday ' s sermon upon it. Miss Eger has worked diligently and accomplished a great deal. She has taken seem- ingly impossible plays and made master productions of them. It was the belief of many that both Seven Keys to Baldpate and The Passing of the Third Floor Back were too difficult for DeVilbiss to attempt; but through Miss Eger ' s guidance and the cooperation of all concerned the plays were a success. Our policy is to omit curtain calls. e vi lb I ss one hundred forty D R A M A T I C S pot o go The first evening dramatic production of 1932 was a presentation of three one-act plays. The Valiant, The Romancers, and Finders Keepers. The Valiant is a tragedy of intense drama. Gene Smith portrayed the warden, Flora Gene Dunbar the sister of the condemned man, Karl LeGant, Wesley Vogel the priest and Edward Shunk, the warden ' s attendant. In The Romancers Jane Bristol played Sylvette; Thad Moore, Percinet; Gordon Mills, Benjamin; and Roscoe Mulholland, Straford. In Finders Keepers, Ruth Hartman portrays Mrs. Aldrid, Walter Learned, her husband, and Josephine Sawaya, Mrs. Hampton, loser of $400. Seven Keys to Baldpate, was the first major production undertaken by DeVilbiss students. This fantasy embodies the modern-day plot of political crooked- ness. William McGee a young novelist of the modern type has made a bet with a friend to complete a novel in one day in an inn atop the snowy Baldpate. The events, preventing the procedure of the novel, are thrilling and amusing. I J The play is melodramatic in every respect, and surprisingly turns out to be a farce. one hundred forty-one D R A M A T I C S This comedy The Queen ' s Husband presented by the Junior class concerns a sovereign family, bored of royalty; a truly powerless king whose only fault was his mania for playing checkers; a sweet and beautiful princess madly in love with the king ' s secretary; and the queen, a powerful and dominating personality. Ruth Anderson, Grace Kiner, Wesley Vogel, Ferdinand Unkrich, Myron Shimer, Mason Baer, James Knisely, Richard Baldwin, Jack Merrill, Frank Oram, enacted the various characterization. The Passing of the Third Floor Back by Jerome K. Jerome presents a modern drama. Mrs. Sharpe, the landlady, played by Virginia Martin; Stacia, the slut, taken by Alice Cook; Luetta Wade, as Miss Kite, an old lady acting young; Major and Mrs. Tomkins, Flal Jennings and Marjorie Sloan, depicted the bully and the shrew, trying to force their daughter, Vivian, played by Flora Gene Dunbar, to marry Joey Wright, John Leslie, for his money. The other characters are the snob claiming royal relatives, enacted by La Donna Harbough, Ray Hubbard as the coward, Jim Baldwin, the cad, and Ross Miller, the rogue. Through the spiritual kindness of a mysterious stranger, Herbert Gladding, the atmosphere changes. The Personification of Christ Dominates all. Q 6 lb one hundred forty-two p u B L I C A T I O N S pot o go When one wishes to find a true expression of school spirit, he seeks first for the core of that element in the official organ of school attitudes — the publi- cations ' activities. Here, it is that one finds loyalty, earnestness of purpose, and a keen zeal for attainment of ideals. Surely, the activities of the publi- cations ' group, here, have had but one aim — the boosting of DeVilbiss High School. When, with the advent of a senior class this year, the Publications ' Board decided upon the editing of a memento of DeVilbiss activities during 1932-33, it expressed the sentiment of the student body. The placing in the hands of the faculty and students of this first volume of the Pot 0 ' Gold climaxes a procedure of designing, fashioning, working, conferring, advising, and proofing that has taken into careful consideration all principles of student participation at DeVil- biss. A competent and willing staff, with Reva Calkins as editor, at the helm, was selected from innumerable applicants. In addition to great accuracy, efficiency, and ingenuity on the part of these members, it has taken the coopera- tion of all units of endeavor to complete the undertaking. Knowing well that success without this aid would have been impossible, the staff extend their thanks to all who helped plan, construct, and sell our first annual. Unhampered by traditions, the Publications Board sought to present the year book in the form most appropriate and most convenient for the students. Therefore they instituted the plan of editing and selling the Pot 0 ' Gold in section form. This procedure allowed students to buy those sections in which they were interested. The fine cooperation of the merchants and outstanding citizens of our community has enabled us to continue our publication. We hope that their help will be reflected in your patronage, for the future of our publications will be assured only if we continue to have their support. Of course, the school annual was not the only form of publication taken into considera- tion, for another vibrant interest thrived at DeVilbiss in the form of The Prism the paper that breaks school life into colorful news. Here are to be found the most prominent and recent occurences of school events, all written in appropriate journalistic manner for only students of merited ability are placed on the staff. With the opening of school in 1931 came the first copies of The Prism, then under the capable and efficient adviser, Miss Hirth. In its first year, The Prism won two third class honor ratings in state and national contests. It was during this first year that the various and still functioning departments were created. Much of the credit for the effective beginning is due to the work and helpful advice of the adviser, Miss Elaine Hirth. Continuing as an energetic school activity The Prism during its second year under the guidance of Miss Rose Bloom was awarded second class honor rating when it was entered in the contest sponsored by the Journalism Association of Ohio Schools. Returns from the entry in the National contest have not been received at the present writing. Those members of the newspaper personnel who attended the meeting of the National Scholastic Press Association in Cincinnati on November 3, 4, and 5 brought back with them high ideals, definite aims, and new information, all of which was used, to make The Prism a greater and better paper. During the course of the school year, in this era of sudden change also for The Prism, with the splendid cooperation of Mr. Romberger and the DeVilbiss Press, the last editions of the paper were published in our own school plant. It is the hope of all concerned that in not too distant future, our publications will be edited in our own fully equipped plant. Concentrated effort, persistent skill, and earnest cooperation in the staff members require due commendation. Miss Bloom, too, as adviser, has tried to keep alive the true spirit of the endeavor. Miss Bloom has given her untiring efforts and time to the school publications. It has been under her sincere advisership that we have gone through a successful year. Id one hundred forty-three A N N U A L GIESE CALKINS June and the Senior Banquet and the Pot 0 ' Gold. How eagerly it is anticipated and admired among oh ' s and ah ' s of many students! How keenly it is enjoyed and how fragrant its memories. Annuals are not made in a day. The production of such an annual as we have published represents the com- bined efforts of the staff workers who have given their time and talent, that the year book might truly picture the activities of the school. Student and faculty coopera- tion also have made it possible. The result of this co- operation is the first edition of the Pot 0 ' Gold, which the staff offers eagerly to the students of DeVilbiss.

Advisers . The art work of the 1933 Pot 0 ' Gold was executed entirely by an art staff, with some aid from the art classes, under the direction of Miss Florence Cooper. DeMilt Ticknor was at the head of this staff and did a very capable job of it. The cover was designed by Robert Fielding and the various pages in the book by DeMilt. We wish to express our appreciation, also, to the other students who submitted material to the book. Under the direction of Mr. Louis J. Mathias Jr., the business staff shouldered the responsibility of financing this edition. With Louis Giese as business manager, we had very little to worry about as to the efficiency of the business staff. Our purpose in publishing this first book was to record those things which are of the most interest to the student body of the school. At this time we thank the typing classes for their aid in typing a great deal of the material, to the office force in supplying us with necessary records and data, to the faculty and entire student body for their fine support and co- operation in making our first annual a success. e vi Ibi one hundred forty-four p R I S M The Prism Board ' s first duty is to edit the paper every two weeks.

Editors of various departments are responsible for gathering news, whether it be an athletic contest, a dance, a mass meeting, or any other material that concerns the life of the school. These editors in return are responsible to each of their executives. Each member of the staff is provided with an established beat at the beginning of the year, and it is his duty to cover this faithfully for any news, promising or otherwise, that is to be found. Also each member is required to bring in any additional news he might hear of. News is reported to the make-up editor, who decides how important the article is, where it is to go, and how long it shall be. After this is determined the reporter writes up the article, hands it to the copy editor, and from then on it passes through various hands until the finished product is the result. Little do the students realize, when reading the paper, the vast amount of work connected with putting out our own school edition. Id one hundred forty-five Toot! Toot! Clang! Clang!

There she meets a young fellow she had met the previous summer and he falls in love with her. He is the college football hero of the school and also the spendthrift. His father threatens to remove him from college unless he earns some money to pay off his debts. He of course does this and the operetta ends with everyone happy. s o c I A L E V E N T S Car 11-18-32 Senior Girls ' Tea The Senior Girls ' Tea was the first social event on the Senior Calendar of 1933. It was held on Friday afternoon, November eighteenth, in the library, which was indeed a very suitable setting for such an event. The center desk was decorated with flowers which were presented by the Girls ' Athletic Society. The Senior Hi-Y boys very graciously condescended to serve the tea and sandwiches under the direction of the Misses Van Oosterhaut, Ramsay, and Gottshall. Mrs. Nauts was guest of honor. In precedence of the serving our mothers were entertained in the auditorium with a musical program that consisted of a piano solo by Virginia Damm, vocal selections by Katherine Gintzel, Betty MacDowell, Mary Lou Meyers, and Helen Neift who were accom- panied by Dorothy Tabbert at the piano, and a reading by Josephine Sawaya, while Alice Cook acted as Mistress of Ceremonies. Car 12-9-32 Football Banquet The Second Annual Football Banquet of DeVilbiss sponsored by the Girls ' Athletic Society was held December 8, in the school cafeteria. This was given in honor of our football team and it was here that the boys were awarded their letters. A big Turkey dinner was served and the hearty meal was enjoyed by about four hundred people. Mr. Judson Siddall acted as toastmaster. The committee was headed by Helen Howell. Miss Gottshall, Miss Ramsay, Miss VanOosterhaut, and Miss Payne gave untiring aid. The waitresses were all in black dresses and orange aprons and head bands. Tigers and Orange and Black streamers decorated the cafeteria and also rainbow colored baloons. The white covered tables were also deco- rated with flowers and candles and orange and black streamers. Attractive programs were at each place. The program consisted of an address of welcome by Mr. Nauts, greet- ings by Judge McCabe and Mr. Harry Haskell, Xylophone selection by Ed Strong, accompanied by Ken Cummerow, a congratulation of the team by Helen Neift and Mary Lou Meyer, the main address by Rabbi Joseph Korn- e vi lb one hundred forty-six s o c I A L E V E N T S feld, a clever stunt which drew peels of laughter from the crowd, short talks by Coaches Rice and Wagner, the presentation of letters by Mr. Pollman, next year ' s captain, Mel Platzke, and the Rainbow Victory March.

A soft lighting system was used. pot o gold Car 2-20-33 Parent-Teachers Bridge The Parent-Teacher ' s Association, of which Judge John McCabe is presi- dent, entertained with a bridge party in both the boys ' and girls ' gym on Monday night, February 20th. Both gyms were well filled with parents, students and teachers, and were decorated with red, white, and blue bunting, draped over pictures of George Washington hung on the walls. Ice cream, cookies, and coffee were served to the guests by members of the Senior Class. Members of the Junior Class play were introduced to the audience by Miss Alice Cook in skits from their production. The table prizes were attractively wrapped boxes of candy, and Mr. Mathias drew the numbers that awarded the door-prizes. Congratulations are in order for a very suc- cessful, as well as entertaining, evening. Car 2-22-33 Father ' s and Son ' s Banquet The boys of the Senior Class this year began a custom which they hope will be a precedent for those who follow. This was a Father ' s and Son ' s Banquet, in which the boys turned the tables for the evening, and entertained their Dads in a rousing manner. The dinner served by the ladies of St. Mark ' s Church was all that could be asked. Peppy songs led by Johnny Jago added jest to the meal, and the evening was climaxed by a splendid address by Mr. Joseph Yager, on Getting By. Car 3-10-33 Junior Class Ring Mixer The Junior class was the first to suggest and sponsor an afternoon dance purposely held to distribute senior class rings. Over 200 couples attended.

It is about a charming Spanish Senorita who is in love with an impoverished young American planter. The young lady ' s father prohibited her meeting or seeing the young man so the young man, Richard by name, turns pirate. He captures his lady-love and carries her off to his lair. Her father tells him that if he rescues the young lady he may have her for his wife. Her father doesn ' t know that Capt. Cross bones and Richard Storeybroke are one and the same person. Richard of course, rescues his lady-love and the operetta ends with the usual happy ending. The attendance at this operetta, as all the others, was grand. s o c I A L E V E N T S Car 3-29-33 Philalethean Basket Ball Banquet The girls of the Philalethean Literary Society, although not having any direct connection with athletics, except participating in intra-mural sports, felt that they would like to give a banquet in order to show their appeciation of the fine work the basketball players had done during their successful season. Harriette Keeling, feeing in charge of the arrangements, planned a pot-luck dinner, consisting of ham, scalloped potatoes, jello-salad, ice cream and cake. Miss Stoll let us use her cooking room to do the final cooking and reheating. Miss Van Oosterhaut con- sented to the use of her sewing room, which, when finally decorated in orange and black paper and orange flowers in black bowls, caused many gasps of, Isn ' t it nice? How pretty it looks. Katherine Gintzel was tcastmistress and introduced Reverend Adams, who gave a talk on The Courgae to Keep Going During Life. Short speeches were given by Mr. Nauts, Mr. Mathias, Mr. Rice, Mr. Wagner, Lee Miller, and Ted Osmialowski. Mr. Pollman presented the boys with their letters. All during the banquet a spirit of great friendliness existed, which was started by the singing of Happy Birthday to Renney Taylor, who blushed saying that he ' d get- even with someone. I think that every Phil who was present can sincerely say, that she never spent such an enjoyable evening. Car 4-21-33 Junior Dance On the twenty-first of April, the junior class held their annual dance, the J-Hop. This proved to be one of the most successful dances of the year. The decorations, in the popular spring colors of coral and blue, were arranged in a little different style than in former times. Streamers, starting high at the walls, and coming low to the middle, were left to hang gracefully to the floor. The streamers were connected to a frame which was built around the orchestra that was placed in the middle of the floor. A light, hung from the ceiling, shone down on the orchestra instruments, producing different lights on the e vi lb one hundred forty-eight s o c I A L E V E N T S floor. A picket fence, used to enclose the orchestra, was decorated in red and yellow tulips. Truck Truckee, with his twelve-piece orchestra from Detroit, played for the dancing. Each girl received a corsage of sweet peas. White, pink, orchid, and lavender were used in the colors of the flowers. Each bouquet was tied with a small white ribbon. The grand march, led by the president of the junior class, Bruce Miller, and followed by the rest of the class officers, took place at ten o ' clock. Car 5-1-33 May Festival During the afternoon of May 2, the Coronation of the May Queen took place, Mr. Collins placing the crown upon her head. This entire pageant was for the entertainment and benefit of the Queen of May with her accompanying procession of twelve girls. The activities of the day, was followed by exciting sports, participations, and contests. A group of youthful Robinhood clad girls presented a dramatic enact- ment of archery skill, which was followed by an intra-mural track contest, including both the boys and the girls. Car 5-6-33 Senior Prom On May 6, in the attractive Chamber of Commerce Ballroom in the Richardson Building, the Senior Prom, the crowning event of the social year, was held amid pomp and display. Soft colored lights formed a rainbow across the ceiling peeking through the summery decorations. To the enthralling strains of Bud Hall and his orchestra rythmically swaying couples danced — everyone divinely happy, forgetful of all presence of mind — only conscious of the fact that this was his dance — his last at DeVilbiss. The boys looking like Clark Gables and Robert Montgomerys in their light suits or white trousers and dark coats as the case might have been, glanced proudly at their girl-friends, gowned in pastel shades of crisp organdie, chiffon, mousseline de soie, matelasse and crepes. Ah — I can see it again — everyone walking in a dream — getting dances mixed up — where to meet — dropping those darling programs of black with the seal engraved in gold — the chaperones once again longing for youth — and then when the clock struck twelve — looks of dismay appeared — but soon brightened at the relishing thought of a Hot Fudge Sundae or a Promenade Special — somewhere. pot O Car 6-2-33 Senior Banquet When June 2nd appeared on the calendar, DeVilbiss Seniors made ready for one of their most prominent events — the Banquet. Pastel hues of the Rainbow in simple arrangements formed the decorations in the Commodore Perry ball room. The speaker ' s table, placed at the head of the room, contained a horse shoe wreath of assorted flowers to carry out the theme, — good luck. Seated at the main table were Mr. and Mrs. Merritt Nauts, Mr. and Mrs. Collins, Mr. Mathias, the guest of honor, Mrs. Thomas A. De Vilbiss, the guest speaker, Reverend Mr. Adams and Mrs. Adams, the class officers, Frederick Haase, president and toast master; Phillip Abbey, Vice ■ j President; Arlene Wood, Secretary; Robert P. Bennett, Treasurer, the Senior 9 Banquet Committee; Jane Sullivan, chairman; Marcella Wonacott, Elizabeth one hundred forty-nine Van Wormer, Ruth Williams, Betty Yates, Marian Keil, Thelma Doering, Reva Calkins, and Louis Giese. The menu consisted of fruit cocktail, delicious roast chicken, or baked fish with sauce, browned potatoes, radishes, buttered peas, spring salad a la French dressing, ice cream, cake and coffee. Following the banquet was the toast given by Frederick Haase, the farewell speech by the principal and Reverend Adams ' talk. An American beauty rose was given to all attending the banquet. Many of the faculty attended and formed the special faculty tables, situated to the left and right of the speaker ' s table. As the banquet ceremonies drew to a close the participants withdrew from the banquet hall and went on to where the Pot 0 ' Golds were distributed to teachers and students. The farewell dance given by the Junior class which was planned by Bruce Miller, class president, and his committee. Dancing started at 9:30 and at the stroke of 12, the end of a perfect day, always to linger in the memory of the seniors of ' 33, ended. Car 6-15-33 Senior Class Day Picnic s o c I A L E V E N T S The Senior picnic was held June 15 at Toledo Beach. The caravan of busses and private autos left the school at 8 o ' clock. The committee arrived well ahead of the general crowd in order to prepare the festivities. Singing and cheering, mingled with laughter and chattering, were prevalent on the bus trip. The activities of baseball, tennis, and foolish games filled the morning time and worked up ravenous appetites among the players. After the lunches, which were so kindly packed by the mothers, were eaten, the crowds, despite the cuts of the stags enjoyed an afternoon of dancing and revelry. Those persons who were not interested in dancing found the water very tempting and splashed to their heart ' s content. On the whole, the picnic was a success. The judges, Virginia Damm, Louis Mathias, and Jim Baldwin, accredited certain of their friends the honor as best dancing couple and their enemies as the worst. Oh! Betty. Wasn ' t that grand? Only one more car left. I don ' t want to get off, Betty. I want to stay on forever. Come on, Jane! Only one minute left, and the last car is the most important — our graduation. Car 6-16-33 Commencement The Senior Commencement, a very impressive ceremony, was held in the Civic Audi- torium on Friday evening, June 16, 1933, at eight o ' clock. The solemness and beauty of this occasion was keenly felt by all as the girls and boys marched down the aisle. An everlasting impression was made on the minds of the students by the presentation of a pageant on the Code of Achievement of Thomas A. DeVilbiss High School. The stage was adorned in a very appropriate style and blended excellently with the graduation exercises. With a farewell speech by our principal, Mr. Nauts, our high school career was brought to a fitting close. e v ilbi one hundred fifty D is for Dave — the Heinle ' s favorite track man.

Our Library is one of the outstanding features of DeVilbiss High School. The room spacious is a monument to architectural dignity of craftsmanship with its high sound-proof ceiling, its modern equipment, and practicability of arrangement. The seating capacity is two hundred students. A card catalog of sixty drawers is an index by author, title, and subject to the excellent book collection of thirty-six hundred. The books in the original 1931 ten thousand dollar appropriation were carefully selected by the staff of Western Reserve Library School to answer the needs of our student body. The school receives fifty of the leading periodicals covering various fields. A clipping file of nine hundred pamphlets, charts, and circulars, has been instituted to furnish additional supplementary reference material. A file of eighty-five college catalogs together with school publications and year- books furnish the equipment of our College Room. Here have also been placed the books on vocations to help Seniors in choosing their life work. A college information file has been compiled listing faculty graduates whom students may personally consult The faculty room houses professional library books, a very fine special collection of gifts, and beautifully illustrated editions of the classics. Among the generous donors, Mr. Howard DeVilbiss presented us with a valuable edition of the Source Records of the Great War, Mr. A. D. Gutchess, President of the DeVilbiss Company, contributed a set of twelve volumes of the Smithsonian Scientific Series ; Harry Pooley, a DeVilbiss Alumnus gave a splendid twenty volume set of Theodore Roosevelt ' s works; Mrs. Lela Claypool, the useful ten volume set Messages and Papers of the Presidents; Miss Genevieve Stowe, a helpful set of twenty-four volumes Ridpath Library of Universal Literature, other gifts by Whittier Parent Teacher Association, and many worthy student donations to help build up the general collection. Instruction in library training is given students by Miss Leah M. Schuren, the librarian. Her aim is to make the entire resources of the library available to all students and faculty, to make library-materials vitalize the subject-matter of courses, to foster a love of books and joy of reading that will enrich and in- spire the whole lives of our students. e vi lb one hundred fifty-four 3 3 pot o ' gold one hundred fifty-five JANUARY We still get another chance to bring our money for the Annual.

This Athletic Board was to be composed of six members of the faculty J of that particular school. Three of these members held their position on this board by virtue of their position in the school, namely the principal, the director of activities, and the faculty manager of athletics. The other members of the board were to be elected from the faculty, by the members of the faculty. At DeVilbiss they decided to increase this board by one, so as to have an odd number in voting matters The permanent members at DeVilbiss are Mr. Nauts, Mr. Mathias, and Mr. Pollman. For the current year the elective members are Mr. Swisher, Mr. Romberger, Mr. Hallauer, and Miss Gottshall. The board selected Mrs. Whitney, the school treasurer, to act as sec- retary and treasurer of the board. The DeVilbiss Athletic Board has full jurisdiction over all athletics, deciding all mat- ters of policy and finance. It selects coaches for the various athletic teams and makes all letter awards to such members of the athletic teams who are recommended for the same by the coach of each sport. All members of the DeVilbiss High School faculty are members of the DeVilbiss Athletic Association and as such back their athletic board in the various athletic endeavors. The Athletic Board of Control is responsible to Mr. Ted Keller, the Director of Physical Education, who is the athletic representative of the Toledo Board of Education. Mr. Keller has charge of all athletic activities in the public schools and meets with the various principals of the high schools to determine all inter-school policies, and set up rules for such competition. In addition to holding a membership in the Toledo organization, the DeVil- biss Association is a member of the Ohio High School Athletic Association and responsible to its executive head Mr. H. R. Townsend, state commissioner of athletics. The members of this board who are elected do not hold their places permanently but new elections are held annually. At these elections two new members, who replace two of the former members, are elected. This manner of appointment is used to allow two old members in office to instruct newly elected to their duties. In this way the board members hold office for two years. one hundred sixty-one Norm Pollman came to DeVilbiss at its opening in September 1931 as Director of Athletics. Before going to Ohio State he had attended and graduated from Scott High School where he participated in track and basketball. While in high school, Norm was state champion in low hurdles in 1917 and 191S. At Ohio State Norm was a member of the Student Council in 1920. He was also elected to the Bucket and Dipper, a junior honorary society. Norm was on the editorial staff of the Makio the State year book; he became a member of the track squad and earned his letters for three consecutive years in this sport. He graduated from Ohio State University in 1922. After graduating from college, Norm became Director of Athletics and coached all the sports at Delta High School; he had this job during 1923 to 1924. Before coming to DeVilbiss, Norm was instructor of gym at Libbey where he was very well liked. He showed a great interest in boys and has that diligence which it takes to make a coach who is to build a winning track squad. As Director of Athletics, Norm schedules all the games of football, basketball, track and baseball with all the city schools and he also obtains competition from schools that are not in the city. He is also on the Athletic Board and has assumed much responsibility and has given his support to this organization. Norm came to DeVilbiss and assumed the responsibility of becoming the first track coach of DeVilbiss. He took the undeveloped boys that looked promising and developed one of the finest track squads in the city and team may also be classed as one of the best in Northwestern Ohio. He is also the coach of our Cross Country Team which rose to great heights when they became city- champs in 1932. For his wonderful work done at DeVilbiss we wish him the best i of luck in the future years. 19 e v ilb ISS one hundred sixty-two M R. H. R I C E 33 Harry Rice, who conies from that most famous corn state Iowa , came to DeVil- biss as head football and basketball coach. He was graduated from Washington High School, Iowa, after which he then attended the University of Iowa from where he was graduated in 1927. He participated in all sports while in high school and won varsity IV in 3 sports in college. At Iowa he majored in English and also worked along the coaching line. After he was graduated, he accepted his first coaching- position at his old Washington high school. He coached football and basketball there for two years. Under his supervision the basketball team won 2 consecutive district championships. Libbey High School was the next school to rec eive his services. While at Libbey he coached basketball, track, and assisted in football. His basketball team captured the city championship. Last year, unacquainted with the athletes and students at DeVilbiss, Harry took the job of molding a light, young, and green team into a well-organized one. As may be expected under these conditions, the season was almost at a close before the team found itself, at the Woodward game. We all know of Harry ' s success with the football team from that time on. Mr. Rice stands for all that is fair and clean in sports, and is of the fighting, never-give-up type. The ready smile and winning- personality of Harry have gained him the support of his Tigers. They have also brought him the approval of the students and the public. We wish to congratulate Mr. Rice on the fine success of his first two years at DeVilbiss. Also, the student body and graduating athletes, who know him as one of their valuable friends, say: Good luck in the following years, Harry. pot o ' gold one hundred sixty-three The organization of the Athletic Department at DeVilbiss High School was started in the spring of 1931. Mr. Merritt C. Nauts was appointed principal of the new school, and immediately appointed his department heads and members of the faculty. Working in conjunction with Mr. Theodore Keller, Director of Physical Education in the Toledo schools, he appointed Mr. Norman Pollman, Physical Director at Libbey High School, to the post of Director of Athletics. He also appointed Mr. Harry Rice, basketball and assistant football coach at Libbey, head coach of both football and basketball, and Mr. J. Larsen Wagner, a member of the coaching staff at Waite High School, as assistant football and head baseball coach. Mr. Pollman was given authority by Mr. Nauts to complete the organiza- tion of the department, and make necessary plans for opening an athletic pro- gram in the fall. He was fortunate in obtaining the consent of Mr. Herman Doc Berlin to act as trainer for the athletic teams, Doc. having had years of experience in the field, sixteen years of which had been spent at Scott High School. A representative schedule of football games was drawn up, including games with three of the other Toledo schools, and four out of town schools. During the summer Mr. Pollman and Mr. Rice met and completed prepara- tions for fall. This consisted of ordering equipment for both players and field, and, of more importance, contacting with probable members of the first foot- ball squad at DeVilbiss. First practice was called for September 1, 1931, and this date marked the first meeting of boys to represent DeVilbiss in Athletics. The policy of the athletic coaches in the first year was one of organization and building for the future. It was necessary for the coaches to become ac- quainted with the boys, and the boys to adjust themselves to coaching, and boys with athletic experience to readjust themselves to new systems of play. There were few experienced athletes because of the lack of a senior class. With the opening of school an additional call for candidates for football was issued and the squad was increased to more than two hundred boys. It was apparent that to keep such a large group of boys at work, additional help was necessary which came in the form of voluntary services from Norman Kies and Butch Conlon, former Scott and Central athletes. These two men have coached our lightweight football and basketball teams through two seasons without compensation other than the joy of coaching. With the completion of the football season came the opening of basketball, closely followed by track, baseball, tennis and golf. The results of the various sports during the first season are a matter of record, but the greatest development of the year was a wonderful spirit for the school, a spirit not only of the teams representing the school but of the loyal student body. The results of the past season, especially our exceptionally fine record in football, are fresher in our memories, and is indicative of what we may expect in the future. While the entire faculty are members of the Athletic Association, the actual control of athletics is in the hands of the Athletic Board of Control, consisting of Mr. Nauts, Mr. Mathias, Mr. Pollman, Mr. Hallauer, Mr. Swisher, Mr. Romberger, and Miss Gottshall. They determine matters of policy, finance, and selection of the coaches. The future of athletics looks exceedingly bright. With intelligent, high type boys constituting the enrollment of the athletic squads, efficient and sane coaching, and the fine cooperation of the students and faculty, our school should make a name for itself through- out the state. Records show that the average grades of the athletic teams were higher than the grades of an average student and the names of many of our athletes appear in the upper third of the class. This indicates a tendency toward an intelligent type of play in our athletics. A T H L E T I C P R O G R A M e v Ibi one hundred sixty-four pot o go Three years ago we looked forward to entering a new school and hoped that in our brief stay we could establish a record which would be difficult for others to emulate. So it is with athletics as well a s other activities. I In two years, the DeVilbiss High football team has been just as successful as the other ranking schools of the city. Quite a surprise it was, when DeVilbiss ) met Waite in a post season game in order to decide the city championship. Of course, we realize that in order to have had this success, it was necessary to have Oa fine coaching staff who in turn had to have material with which to work. The boys of the school have very willingly responded to calls for players; this enabled the coaches to produce a team to compete with the best- Last fall, _when the call was made, every one of these boys and a number of _ others responded with one year of experience. After much hard practice for b the team, coaches Rice and Wagner had them ready for the playing field. As time went on, there developed within the squad a wonderful competitive spirit. A There was one big, happy family ready to give all it had for the school, the coaches, and each other. L As we all know, the team won every game on the schedule; but though it fought to the whistle, it lost its post season game. What a happy feeling it was, | to return home after defeating our big brother Scott to a degree which was never to be equalled during its season. Many breath-taking incidents occurred in the Fostoria game, but our defense became impenetrable when the opponents gained their way into scoring territory. At Findlay, the boys played one of the best games of the season. Weeks rolled on and games were played; some more interesting than others. Whitmer, though hopelessly outclassed, fought to the finish. Sylvania forced Coach Rice to rush in his regulars when the opponents crossed the goal line of our field. This same line was crossed only once again during the season. The time was approaching for the last game on our field when we awoke one morning to find a a foot of snow on the ground. The Iowa farmer, being used to this, got out his Alpine togs and snow shoes to make ready for the game. Every one knows the condition in which the field was found the following Saturday. Nevertheless this day will linger in the memories of some for many years. The few injuries occuring were taken care of by the never tiring work of our trainer Doc Berlin. The fine condition in which he kept the boys enabled every player to work hard and well in his position. The line and backfield worked hard and well under the capable leadership of our captain and quarterback, Renny Taylor. Never once did Taylor shirk his duty, being continually alert to urge his team on to victory. The Captain of Findlay ' s team said, DeVilbiss was the hardest and cleanest fighting team they had ever played. Prospects for next season ' s team are fine and DeVilbiss should have a team every bit as strong or even stronger than that of last fall. There is still plenty to strive for and many more goal lines to cross. The season is over and perhaps forgotten, but not by the players. Friendships have been made that will last forever. After the days of June are over, the paths of some of these boys will never cross again, others may go to same colleges. The school for which these boys sacrificed so much, will never be forgotten. Many of the players are going out to fight the game of life, not as a team, but rather as an individual. It has often been said that DeVilbiss would never have a good football team, for the boys in this part of Toledo were not rugged enough. This proved to be a false statement for DeVilbiss has developed one of the best football teams in the city. What the boys lacked physically was supplemented by their fine characters and clean fighting spirit. The boys on the squad were some of the most intelligent boys in school; many had gained recog- nition in scholarship by being elected into the National Honor Society. The record that has been established in this field of the sport is one that will set a pace for our coming teams and give squad members some ideal toward which they may strive. Id one hundred sixty-five o A C H LARS WAGNER! « DOC BERLIN A neat appearing young man with well tailored clothes is busy these days taking care of all the intramural sports, assisting Harry Rice with the football team, and coaching his boys on the high spots of baseball. He shows as much enthusiasm for one sport as another. His doings are appreciated by the boys who have had any connection with him because he is taken in as one of the boys and is looked upon because of his earnestness and straight-forwardness. Any- thing he undertakes is a success. Lars attended West Tech High in Cleveland, Ohio, 1921. He earned varsity letters in baseball, football, and basketball and was pushed as all Senate Center in football, and basketball. After graduating from high school, Lars became an instructor at the Y. M. C. A. and held this position for one year. He then entered Oberlin College as a sophomore and graduated from the college in 1926 with a B. A. degree. While at Oberlin, Lars received varsity O ' s in football and baseball, playing two years in each sport. In 1925 he was elected as captain of the football team which won the Conference Championship. In this same year he was chosen all Ohio center. After leaving college he coached at Oberlin High School for two years. Here, both the football and basketball teams won many victories and went to the state finals. Before Lars came to DeVilbiss he coached at Waite as assistant coach in football and basketball. DeVilbiss is very fortunate in having a man such as Lars Wagner on its coaching staff and wishes him success in his field. DeVilbiss is indeed fortunate in having a trainer like Doc Berlin to assist Coach Rice and Lars Wagner in developing the athletes of DeVilbiss. About thirty years ago in Detroit, Doc was advised by his physician to go in for plenty of athletics if he wished to survive the old struggle for exis tence. Doc took this advice seriously and entered several sports which would help him to regain his former health. Among the sports he entered were boxing, football, basketball, and hockey. After severe training, he was successful in building up a strong body and developing skill in the many sports in which he indulged. Doc became especially proficient in planning exercises and diets and soon became a trainer for many teams in Detroit. After leaving Detroit, he came to Toledo and offered his services at Scott where he was extremely helpful for many years. He then came to DeVilbiss where he became a favorite among all the students and participants in the different sports Doc is known for his strong de- termination to let nothing in his power pass to help reach his goal. de vilbi one hundred sixty-si t F O O T B A The 1932 team established a tradition of fight that must be lived up to I by Tiger teams that follow. There was fine spirit and fellowship on the squad and wonderful cooperation in every way. The physical condition of the squad was especially noteworthy, only three time-outs being called for injury all season. So far DeVilbiss has beaten Woodward, Scott, and Central, and has been beaten by Libbey and Yaite in its two years of Football. Coach Rice will have a hard time replacing the graduating players, but prospects for the 1933 team are very promising and we look forward to another successful season. The 1933 team will be out to make up for the 1931 defeat by Libbey and the 1932 defeat by Waite. Luck to them. Melvin Platzke — Captain elect — Junior. The hardest tackier on the team. Don Reilly — Although small, his fight and speed make him a threat against any team. Ren Taylor — Captain. A fine plunging full-back, a good defensive man and the highest type of modest, fighting football player. Bob Metzler — All city half-back and one of the hardest running backs in Toledo. Phil Bova — A dependable player, who improved steadily throughout the season. Ned Miller — Had plenty of scrap and enthusiasm and was tough on defense.

A player whom you will hear of in the future. pot o go Id ere hundred sixty-seven w A I T E F O S T O R I A Before the largest crowd of the season DeVilbiss took their first defeat at the hands of the Waite Indians. The score was one-sided, but the game was exciting and full of thrills. The pressure of the defeat was relieved somewhat by the touch- down the Tigers made in the second quarter. No other team before DeVilbiss has been able to score a touchdown on the Indians. Waite was led by Lengel who was as hard for the Tigers to hold as quicksilver. Waite scored on two passes, long runs, and intercepted passes. DeVilbiss scored oh a straight drive clown the field and final plunge by Metzler. Taylor, Solek, and Metzler played well on offense and Platzke, Kibler, LeGant, and Solek excelled on defense. The Tiger line fought hard on both defense and offense, but could not cope with the experienced Waite team. The DeVilbiss Eleven which has a habit of scoring within the first few plays did so again in this game. Fostoria retaliated with a half a dozen points in the second period as a result of a pass. It looked like the start of a close, interesting game. So it was. The score remained the same until the last few minutes of play. Two Tiger substitutes, Solek and Adler, came to the front with a fifteen yard run and an intercepted pass for scores. These two sewed up the seventh straight victory of the season. The red-jackets played better than the score indicated. They worked the ball to the six inch line, two yard line, and the nine yard line, but each time they lacked the punch to penetrate the Tiger line. i The outstanding play was a sensational 85 yard run which Metzler made O © behind excellent interference. VI lb one hundred sixty-eight s c o T T S Y L V A N I A pot o go DeVilbiss won its first football game ever played against Scott. The DeVilbiss squad at the first of the season were the under dogs in all city competition, but after beating Central they were slated to beat Scott and carried out the prophecy by a score that was equaled by only one other city school. The boys showed great im- provement in this game and held Scott when near their goal. They gained more yardage and more first downs than their opponents. They scored the first and last touchdowns by hard driving marches down the field; the other touchdown was scored by a pass. It would be hard to pick a star in this game as the line was functioning perfectly and the backfield carried the ball well. This game was considered one of the best displays of hard, clean football DeVilbiss fans have ever seen. DeVilbiss started the second team in order to give them experience and, as a result, were trailing in a 6-0 score at the end of the first quarter. The varsity came into the game and evened the score at the half. This powerful attack which was started at the end of the half was continued in the third quarter. DeVilbiss was again suc- cessful in their assult and piled up twelve more points. The Sylvanians proved no match for the heavier and smoother running Orange and Black. The final touchdown of the game was a spectacular one. Miller, DeVilbiss I J end, on an end around play took the ball from one of his backfield team- mates and ran twenty yards for a touchdown. one hundred sixty-nine DeVilbiss won the first game of their second season. Our boys defeated the lighter and obviously out-classed Oak Harbor team. This victory evened things for the first defeat a tiger team received, in the second game last year. With Don Reilly leading his team with long runs, one 80 yards, the Oak Harbor team was swamped and did not even test the true Tiger strength. DeVilbiss played Central for the first time and handed them a setback in a very closely contested game. This was also the first intra-city game and started the Tigers off on the right foot. Both teams fought evenly and hard in the first period with DeVilbiss having a slight edge. In the second period a steady march was completed with a spurt when Metzler broke through tackle for the remaining nine yards for a touchdown. A pass, Fisher to Platske, accounted for what later proved to be a winning margin. The third period was a duplicate of the first. In the last ten minutes Central worked the ball to the DeVilbiss 25 yard line twice. The first time they failed to score and lost the ball. The second time Toth, the Central star, on a clever fake pass ran for a touchdown. Murphy failed to pass the line of scrimmage and the score remained 7-6 in favor of DeVilbiss, as the ball was kept in the Central territory during the rest of the game. 1 9 3 1 F O O T B A L DeVilbiss defeated the well known Findlay team in a game full of thrills. Ten plays after the game started the Tigers had seven points to their credit as a result of a Fisher to Miller pass and Metzler dash. Again in the first quarter Metzler ran sixty yards behind perfect interference to the second score. He missed the kick for the extra point. Reilly was making some nice gains, but had to be taken out because of injuries to his leg. Another aid to the Tigers was the fine passing attack which Findlay could not stop. The last quarter, DeVilbiss reached the one yard line, but lacked the punch that was necessary to break through the fighting Findlay line. Scoring at will, the Tigers defeated the smaller, but fighting Whitmer team by the score of 67-0. This is the largest score to appear in a Tiger game to date. The opposition was so weak that every attack the Orange and Black tried met with success. Even so the game contained long runs and passes enough to thrill the fans.

Taylor, seemed to be able to leave his opponents in the rear as he ripped off long gains one after the other. Metzler played well along with Osmial- owski who received a nice pass and covered the distance to the goal in a style all of his own. Hoppe played well for the team from Columbus, but was held in check when he reached the goal. DeVilbiss opened its football career with a scoreless tie with the strong Whitmer eleven at the Libbey Stadium before 3,500 spectators. Whitmer gained ground on passes and line plunges. The latter, however, were stopped by the Tigers when standing in the shadow of their own goal. The Tiger kickers out-distanced the Whitmer backs in that phase of the game. The rooters of both teams were given thrills and scares twice during the game. The first occurred when Morrette ran a Tiger punt back 45 yards for a touch- down, only to be called back and penalized for roughing the kicker. The second was also short lived. Reilly with Metzler for interference ran sixty-five yards to Whitmer ' s 35 yard line after grabbing up a supposed fumbled pass. He also was called back and the play proceeded from that point. In the last few minutes of the final quarter, DeVilbiss launched a drive that ended with an intercepted pass as time was called. _ e vi ilb o:ie hundred seventy The Oak Harbor team snatched a victory from the Orange and Black on a pass in the last few minutes of play. The two teams played the first three quarters of the game without any score. The Tigers showed the most strength in gaining ground from scrimmage and from passes. Oak Harbor dominated the kicking side of the game. DeVilbiss tried frantically to overcome their opponents with passes in the two remaining minutes of play, but they were either knocked down or they were out of reach. This disastrous game ended and with it the first DeVilbiss football defeat was marked up against the Tigers. The fighting Orange and Black of DeVilbiss met their first inter-city defeat at the hands of the heavier and more experienced Libbey team. The fine punt- ing of Fisher, Tiger back, kept the Cowboys from scoring even more touchdowns. The game was featured by long runs made by the fleet Libbey balMoters. They were not forced to punt at any time. They also stopped the passing attack that the Tigers unleashed. In the fourth quarter a few minutes of promising play on the part of DeVil- biss thrilled the spectators. The sorely outclassed Tigers showed their spirit and genuine determination when they held the powerful Libbey backs on the one-foot line for four downs. DeVilbiss lost their third game of the season to St. John ' s at the St. John ' s field. St. John ' s won easily due mostly to Rarkos, who scored three touchdowns in the first half. The punting of Fisher was superior to that of the Saint kicker. St. John ' s, though scoring six touchdowns, failed to make good a single point afterwards. The Tigers showed fight, but fell before the superior attack of their opponents. Taylor, a Tiger back, played an outstanding game under a severe handicap. He played with a broken hand and although carrying the ball often did not fumble at any time. DeVilbiss won the first game of their football career when they defeated the Adrian team from Michigan by the score of 13-7. The fine Tiger passing attack resulted in the scoring of the winning points. The first Tiger touchdown in their history came in the first period. Metzler, who played with a cracked rib, broke through twenty yards for a touch- down. The Adrian touchdown was scored by Krueser, who intercepted a DeVilbiss pass and raced the remaining forty yards to the goal. Adrian completed another pass that brought them within striking distance as the half ended. In the final quarter with four minutes to play DeVilbiss made a final drive. Metzler intercepted a pass which along with a 15 yard penalty brought the ball to the DeVilbiss 20 yard line. With fifteen yards to be covered in one play Fling made his sensational pass to Miller who stepped over the goal line for the winning points. The same combination scored the extra point. 1 9 3 2 F O O T B A L L pot o go The Fostoria Redmen won over the DeVilbiss Tigers by the score of 18-0 on a muddy field. The Redmen made their first touchdown with a twenty-eight yard pass in the first few minutes of play. The DeVilbiss passing attack failed to gain yardage. Shearer, the Fostoria safety man, stopped Metzler after a thirty-five yard run. The second half opened with a seventy-five yard return for a touchdown of the DeVilbiss kickoff. The third touchdown was made by Shearer, who intercepted a Tiger pass. In the final period Taylor made a sensational fifty yard run but was stopped again by Shearer. DeVilbiss in the final game of its initial football season won its first inter-city contest from Woodward. The lighter, but fighting Tigers scored in the first period on a pass from Taylor to Adler. Taylor passed to Wyatt for the extra point. Along with the touchdown pass DeVilbiss completed a fifty-five yard pass to Metzler. The Woodward club rallied in the second quarter and by two passes reached the DeVilbiss three yard line. They fumbled and an alert Tiger recovered for DeVilbiss. Again in the third period they reached the eight yard line by a pass. Here the Scrappy Orange and Black line held through four downs and punted out of danger. The fourth period was a punting duel with Fisher keep- ing DeVilbiss out of danger.

The cubs were coached by Norman Kies and Butch Conlan who took these green boys and moulded them into one of the best lightweight teams in Toledo. The team is looking forward to a very successful season next year with many new boys about to come to DeVil- biss. Although some of the boys will be advanced to the varsity, the loss will not injure the possibilities of winning.

This well balanced, fast moving team completed its season with ten wins and three losses, thirteen games in all. In the city lightweights ' basketball race the Cubs tied for third place with Scott and Central. Norm Kies and Butch Conlan, two of the finest lightweight coaches in the city, coached and taught the Cubs, what one might call an art, the game of basketball. It took steady drilling, at the same time seeing that every boy was having a great time. These two coaches fulfilled every detail in the undertaking of coaching a brood of cubs. The Cubs during the season played several fine teams such as Bowling Green, Findlay, and all the city teams Waite, Scott, Libbey, Woodward, Central and St. John s. No captain was elected for the season but one was chosen by the coaches for each particular game. Gene Davis, center, one of the most dependable and steady players on the squad, led the team scoring with forty-seven points for the season. Glen Ginter, forward, and Jerry Folger, guard, scored thirty-four and thirty-three points respectively. No player was an outstanding scorer because the whole team worked as one single unit. Louis Martin and Bud Backus, two fine lightweights, were later in the season given places in the varsity squad. Throughout the season, Jack Patterson, Felex Solek, Willard Meyers, Jack Chapman, forwards and Art Brighton, Gale Powers, Marshall Carlson and Ed LeGant, guards played very fine games and convinced the coaches that they were real Tiger cubs. Everyone appreciates the fine work and playing done by William Gruenberg, Roy Lee, Malcolm Woodward, Robert Smith, William Scott and W T ayne Babcock, other members of the lightweight squad. All the players now look back upon the season with Norm and Butch as one of many thrills and good times not soon to be forgotten.

Waite, scored a touchdown on an end run. p The Cubs put on a drive in the fourth period and scored a touchdown and the extra point. The ball remained in mid-field the rest of the game. O The experienced Scott lightweights handed the orange and black their first setback of their football career. This was the first inter-city defeat suffered by Q the Cubs. The Central game was a closely fought game. Central scored after intercepting a pass and running 85 yards . With five minutes to play DeVilbiss T spurted and carried the ball from their own ten to Central ' s ten where they were held. DeVilbiss scored their first inter-city victory by defeating St. John ' s light B weights 14-0. - Playing in a cow pasture in Temperance the Cubs lost in a spirited battle by a 20-19 score. The Libbey Cowboy ' s lightweights after beating the Cubs 47-0, became city champions. In the return game with Temperance the visitors L scored 13 points on breaks. The Cubs crossed the goal twice, but were called back both times. The Cubs were also beaten by a 14-0 count by the Woodward L reserves in their last game. Their fight could not make up for the great weight advantage held by their opponents. During this first season the Cubs won 2 games, lost 6, and tied another. The members of this first Cub team were: Dan Jones, Ed Counts, Ralph Manor, Jerry Folger, Charles Prease, Arthur Brighton, William Meyers, Ferdinand Unckrich, Maynare Walrod, Howard Brown, Wallace Duncan, Foster Backus, Berns Smolenski, Arthur Ginter, Gail Powere, Norman Klink, Robert McCloud, and managers: David Miller, Glen Smith, and Robert Gee.

Scott relinquished their 6-0 lead to the Cubs when Davis received a pass. Next the Cubs defeated Central 19-0. Joe Gee scored twice on passes from Martin. The Tiger seconds outplayed the Perrysburg second string varsity and added another victory to their string. Perrysburg tallied their lone six points one pass, but the Tigers came back to score 24 points. The Cubs continued in the undefeated list and also grabbed the first championship in athletic competition for DeVilbiss by tying Libbey. They held the Cowboys and played fine offensive ball, but lacked the punch to score. This second Cub team compiled a fine record winning four games and tying one. The members of this championship team were: Smith, Ball, Keller, Cress, Keller, Weber, Mosier, Duncan, Densmore, Babcock, Davis, Gee, Stead, Martin, Cook, Patterson, Feye, Rush, Brown, Misch, Martin, Lyberger, Hoag, Shelley, Manager. The coaches of this team who worked hard and spent every night after school helping these boys, received no salary and coached for the pleasure and because of interest in the boys. They are to be congratulated and thanked for their fine achievements. They were: Norm Kies, Butch Conlin, Earl Smith, and Fred Drennan. _ _ DeVilbiss Cubs 7 Waite ..

The team showed a jj great improvement over the previous year by winning nine and losing only four games. They placed well in the city race, tying wi th Scott for third place. | Waite, who won the city championship, Woodward, and Scott were the city teams who were able to beat DeVilbiss. Libbey, Central, and St. John ' s went down to defeat at the hands of the Tigers. The boys went into the tournament, held at the Field House of Toledo University, with the determination to win a place in the District Tournament at Findlay. The first game was won easily, but in the semi-finals, Libbey managed to squeeze out a thirty-two to thirty-one decision in an overtime game. The basketball season was over for another year. Every boy who played on this basketball team deserves a great deal of credit. The players worked hard in practice, and there existed between the boys and the coach a great feeling of comradeship. As coach of the team, Harry Rice worked very hard in the interest of the team and players. Norm Pollman, who arranged all the schedules, was sure to see that the players received the best in equipment, and Doc Berlin, efficient trainer, kept the team in shape by his famous rub downs. The team of thirty-one and thirty-two had a successful season for a first year team winning seven out of thirteen games and finishing fourth among the city teams. The plavers on that team were: Jack Dixon, Dan Jones, Lee Miller, Bob Metzler, Ren Taylor, Ben Starner, Bill Adler, Bill Wyatt, Don Fisher. f932-f933 Records DeVilbiss 37 Delta 18 DeVilbiss 31 Haskins 7 DeVilbiss 17 Point Place 15 DeVilbiss 13 Waite 20 DeVilbiss 16 Bowling Green 15 DeVilbiss 20 Findlay 29 DeVilbiss 22 Libbey 19 DeVilbiss 22 Fostoria 13 DeVilbiss 23 Scott 24 DeVilbiss 11 Bryan 14 DeVilbiss 22 Woodward 30 DeVilbiss 23 St. John ' s 20 DeVilbiss 28 Central 20 1931-1932 Records (Basketball) DeVilbiss 43 Grand Rapids 11 DeVilbiss 41 Haskins 11 DeVilbiss 23 Delta 19 DeVilbiss 16 Libbey 15 DeVilbiss 19 Waite 43 DeVilbiss 14 Fremont 23 DeVilbiss 20 Fostoria 12 DeVilbiss 18 Findlay 20 DeVilbiss 8 Scott- 27 DeVilbiss 12 Bowling Green 19 DeVilbiss 17 Woodward 25 DeVilbiss 20 St. John ' s 10 DeVilbiss 21 Central 16 e v ilb one hundred seventy-four po B A S E B A L . When Coach Wagner put out the first call for pitchers and catchers, twenty- I- two hurlers and eight catchers reported to the gym. These tryouts worked in the gym each night for two weeks. The general call netted sixty-five more boys and this number increased when spring football was completed. Mr. Wagner kept twenty-two boys after he had carefully observed the candidates. The team which represented DeVilbiss High on the baseball diamond last year had only one experienced player, Renwick Taylor. A weakness in the fielding form, both infield and outfield, lost the Tigers several early season victories. As only five schools entered teams each opponent was played twice The improvement of the team may be illustrated by comparing the scores of the early season games with the second-round scores- The opening game of the season, played with Waite High School was lost by DeVilbiss, 12-4, as a result of errors which aided the Indians in the last inning ten-run rally In the second round, playing an equally good offensive game and a better defensive game than Waite, were shaded 8 to 5. Central defeated the Tigers, 10 to 1, in their first meeting, but in the last game of the season the DeVilbiss Nine reached a fitting climax by defeating Central, 6 to 5, in the Tigers ' only city victory of the season Libbey trounced DeVilbiss 23 to 1, in their first meeting, but the Tigers tightened up and in their second game with the Cowboys were defeated, 4 to 1 The Tigers ' first meetings with Scott resulted in a 10 to 3 victory for Scott; whereas in their second contest Scott defeated DeVilbiss 6-2. DeVilbiss played even ball with its out of town opponents. The Tigers dropped an 8 to 4 contest with Blissfield, but displayed good form in defeating Maumee 15-7. As a diversion from the regular schedule, the Tigers defeated the Faculty, 8-3. Although the team was slow in rounding into shape the Tigers ' form in late season was highly satisfactory. With all of last year ' s lettermen, consisting of Adler, Mattison, and Drennan, catchers; Ginter, Taylor, and Jones, infielders; and Bueche, Hartsing, and Fisher, outfielders are returning, Coach Wagner is looking forward to a more successful season. The opening game line-up consists of Taylor 3rd, Folger SS, Gentu 2, Fisher 1st, with Mattism and Adler and Drennan dividing the catching duties. Dierks rounded into shape slowly and Meinert soon became the Tiger ' s leading hurler. In the outfield Bueche, Miller, and Hartsing performed. Later in the season when the Tigers play improved, Taylor was moved to SS, Jones at 3, and Folger at 2, Brown at 1st, Bueche, Gentu, Miller and Fisher divided the outfield duties, with Drennan and Adler catching. Rennie Taylor was elected captain of the 1933 baseball team. tO gold Taylor and Miller were the leading batters for DeVilbiss. one hundred seventy-five G O L F Although the golf team did not win all its matches, it had a successful season considering that it was the first one. It ranked third among the other city teams. The team participated in two home matches with out of town teams. They were Bowling Green and Napoleon. The city matches were held over on the Ottawa Park Course on Monday and Friday of each week. The matches with Bowling Green and Napoleon were held at Sunningdale Golf Club. The biggest victory for the Tiger Golfers was the win over the second place Scott team. The qualifying rounds were held at Sunningdale through the courtesy of Mr. Weber, the owner. The professional of that club also helped by giving instructions to the players. The candidates who played in the qualifying rounds had little or no high school golf experi- ence. Most of them had never played in any match before. Of the thirty or thirty-five candidates seven survived and earned letters. They were John Kuderemski, Frank Smietan- ski, Chet Swy, Jack Hubbell, Dick Kenney, Dan Jones, John McKnight. All of the golfers played in at least one match, but the majority of them played in more. Regular practices could not be held each night; so the members had to practice on their own. This they did very effectively as was shown by their steady improvement. Much of the success of the team is due to Mr. Ralph Swisher, the coach. He is liked very much by the members of the team, because of the interest that he takes in the game. His companionship also goes a long way in gaining the favor of the golfers. He spent many afternoons practicing and playing with his team. The matches in which the golfers went out of town were also arranged by him. He looks for successful season to fol- low due to the fact that the entire team and other good golfers, too, will be back.

The boys realized the attitude that many people took on the development of athletics at DeVilbiss and were determined to contribute their support towards furthering this phase of athletics. pot o ' gold When the boys started to work in 1932, they were under Coach Mathias who contributed much toward the building of a good team. The group of boys had much to which to look forward for they were to remain at DeVilbiss in ' 33. The first inter-scho- lastic game was with Scott, the former and present city champs. Although our team was badly beaten, the boys showed plenty of stuff and gave the Scotters much worry. The DeVilbiss squad retalliated to their next two city games in easy victories. Woodward fell to the racquetters of DeVilbiss, and Waite ' s defeat was our second city victory. After the city contest, in which DeVilbiss obtained second place, the N. W. Tennis Tournament attracted several entries from our school The team as a whole played very well and is today one of the chief contenders for this crown. Bob Newcomb and Ralph Fall went to the quarter and semi finals respectively, while Manual Witmer and Dean St. Clair reached the quarter finals in the doubles division in this tournament. Louis J. Mathias, our tennis coach, resigned and gave the reigns to Mr. Sharp, our assistant athletic director. Mr. Sharp is not only a coach, but at the same time is a qualified teacher in this field. Mr. Sharp has played some of the leading players and with his help the team is confident of future success in this sport. Our team was composed of Robert Newcomb, number one player; Ralph Fall, number two player and alternate for Bob; Dean St. Clair, number three; Manual Witmer, number four; Jack Bradley, number five; John Leslie, number six and alternate for Jack; and Bob Gilchrist, number seven. The team would be paired off for a tournament with the first three men playing singles and the remaining four playing doubles. Often number one, two, and three players would double up if a hard match were to be played. The 1933 tennis team will be composed of the same members as last year, but will be lacking Manuel Witmer who is ineligible to play. There are many new members including Robert Schmidt, Roy Cole, Bill DeWolf, Dan Jones and Phil Abbey, all of whom are expected to do very well. one hundred seventy-seven c R O S S C O U N Closely following football in 1931 Cross-country, under the direction of T Norm Pollman, was the second sport started at DeVilbiss. Like the other D sports in their first year, there were few boys having experience. This first ■ year was spent mostly in developing the boys with the expectation of having V them back the next year. The team completed its first season by being first among the Toledo teams, and taking third in the district meet, losing to Mans- field and Sandusky who took first and second respectively. Although the team as a whole did not qualify for the state meet at Columbus, three men, Captain Fred DeShetler, Ken- neth Sampson, and Norm Feckelman, earned the right to run as individuals. Captain Fred DeShetler placed sixth in the state competition. In this last season with four runners back from the previous year the team was again first among the Toledo teams, and placed second in the district meet, losing by one point to Fremont from whom it had won a dual meet. One dual meet was lost to the Monroe, Michigan team, who were state champions. The team qualified for the state meet and in the competition placed fifth. Kenneth Sampson gained recognition by taking second place as an individual out of a field of about one hundred and twenty-five of the best runners in the state. The team was composed of Captain Fred DeShetler, Kenneth Sampson, Jerry Folger, Earl Fisher, Don Percival, Jack Dimon, and Jack McCauley. The team loses the seniors, Fred DeShetler and Don Percival, and also Kenneth Sampson, who has moved into the Scott district. Nevertheless, a strong team composed of Jerry Folger, Earl Fisher, Jack Dimon, and Jack McCauley will be back again. DeVilbiss is taking a leading part in furthering this sport in Northwestern Ohio. Under the direction of Coach Pollman, who was appointed by Mr. Townsend, the State Commis- sioner of Athletics, DeVilbiss is sponsoring the district meet. The meet is run over a two mile course laid out in the hills of Ottawa Park. Some of the teams participating are Fremont, DeVilbiss, Scott, Sandusky, Mansfield, Lima South, Plymouth, Waite, Lima Central, Deshler, Milan, and Elmore. Two intramural meets were held during the last year. One was won by Kenneth Moore and the other by Marshall Wiggons. e vi ilbi one hundred seventy-eight B O X I N G Although boxing is not what we consider a major sport, we do not think of it as altogether unimportant. In the future, as voiced by the coaches, boxing will probably be used as a muscle builder for competitors in other sports. The team had many prospective members this year and certainly their zest was responded to by the DeVilbiss rooters. Although they did not come through with high honors, a green team cannot be expected to win over experienced men. Next year the team will be more seasoned and more will be expected of them. Under the training of Lars Wagner, the team was in excellent condition. Their time after school was spent in hard, gruelsome training not unknown to the prize fighter and many hard knocks were received in the workouts. It is hoped, however, that next year there will be more on the team to make competition more keen and to encourage many fighters in the different divisions so that experience in fighting may be acquired. As it was, there were about fifteen members all of whom were trying hard. In the fly weight division DeVilbiss was represented by Glen Smith whose weight was one hundred and six pounds. Smith shows much promise as a boxer and next year DeVilbiss expects the fly weight title through him. Dick Broadway, whose weight was one hundred and eighteen, was the bantam weight battler in the school. He, too, is coming back next year to get the title for DeVilbiss. In the feather weight class, DeVilbiss was represented by Lancy whose weight was one hundred and tenty-six. Although Lancy was inexperi- enced he did exceedingly well. Barley, whose weight was one hundred and thirty-five, did very well in boxing in the light weight division this year and with more experience will easily bring the light weight title again as he is not graduating this year. Decker, the school ' s middle weight, whose weight is one hundred and sixty, showed promise and much is ex- pected of him next year when he has more experience. We were handicapped this year due to the fact that we didn ' t have a light heavy, or a heavy weight boxer, but in the next few years, when boxing gets under way, a full team of champions is expected. pot o ' gold ono hundred seventy-nine I N T R A M U R A L S Realizing that Interscholastic Athletics did not meet the needs of the entire student body of DeVilbiss High School a system of Intra-mural Athletics was organized under the superivsion of the Department of Physical Education and inaugurated shortly after the opening of school in the fall of 1931, with Coaches Norman J. Pollman and J. Larsen Wagner in charge of the activities. With the opening of school in the fall of 1932 Mr. Donald Sharpe was added to the staff. It is the aim of the Department of Physical Education that Intra-mural Athletics offer an activity for every student and that every student participate in an activity. The students are afforded opportunities to voluntarily partici- pate in a program of activities that are physically wholesome, mentally stimu- lating and socially sound under student leadership and faculty supervision. These activities afford the students opportunities for the development of skill in those forms of activities that give satisfaction and pleasure to the partici- pant, knowledge and interest in a wide range of leisure time sports, develop appreciation of fine play and promotes a friendly attitude and sportsmanship among players and toward opponents, and activities in which they may partici- pate in their after school days. The activities comprising the program are selected by the amount of interest shown by the students and the fact that they are easily learned, require a mini- mum amount of equipment and are vigorous yet not requiring a high degree of training and conditioning. The program of activities is divided into three seasons, Fall, Winter and Spring. The activities are pursued during the season when the greatest interest occurs. During the Fall the following activities are offered: Touch Football, Tennis, Speed Ball, Soccer, and Cross Country and Volley Ball. During the winter season those activities that require indoor participation are pre- sented; namely, Handball, Boxing, Basketball, Shuffle Board, Foul Shooting and the Indoor Relays, while the Spring Program includes Playground Ball, Golf, Tennis, Horse- shoes and Track. Participation in activities is divided into two groups; namely, team games for those students desiring organized team, games and Individual Competition for those students interested in competition and recreation other than organized team play. With the organization and development of the Club system according to the student ' s interests, the Club is used as a unit of classification for all team games while any student may enter and compete in Individual Competition regardless of his Club affiliations. Each club elects an Intra-mural Athletic Manager, who organizes teams for compe- tition in his club, enters it in leagues of play, and provides the Senior Student Manager of Intra-mural Athletics with an elegibility list signed by the Club Advisers that includes the names of all the boys enrolled in the club in good standing. Other duties are to help formulate schedules, select activities and decide any question that arises from the playing of any game, and furnishing the lineups of his team to the Intra-mural scorer before each game. A contestant is eligible to competejonly for the club of which he is a member. He may participate in any sport unless he is a member of a Varsity or Lightweight squad in that sport, although a student not a mem- i ber of any club may compete in any or all of the Individual Events. e vi Ibi one hundred eighty I N T R A M U R A L S A scoring system has been devised whereby a Club or Individual may earn points toward the Intra-mural awards. The club scoring the greatest total of points throughout the entire school year is declared the Intra-mural champion and gains possession of the plaque for the ensuing year. Points may be earned by entering a team in competition, providing that team actually competes: the playing of any contest, additional points for win- ning a contest and the final percentage positions of the teams in the league standings after the schedule is completed. The opportunities to earn points in Individual Events depends upon the student ' s interest and participation in a wide range of activities and the indi- vidual ' s ranking in the final results. Competition in the Club League is con- ducted by the round-robin type of a schedule whereby every team plays every other team while competition in the Individual Events is practically all of tournament type play. The clubs are divided into two groups: those clubs meeting during school hours being placed in one league while the clubs holding meetings after school are placed in another League. The two winners then meet to determine the championship in that activity. During the past year twenty-four clubs entered teams in competition throughout the school year while one thousand two hundred and seventy-nine boys competed in some form of voluntary activities promoted by the Intra-mural Department. The ten leading scorers and total points scored in both Club and Individual Events are listed below: 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. 10. Prism 781 1. Spanish Club 661 2. Boosters Club 568 3.

The managers were selected after a short try-out period, each manager assisting the Senior Manager throughout the year. The Senior Manager receives the Intra-mural Managerial Letter at the end of the school year. In the fall of each school year it is only necessary to replace the Freshman Student Manager who succeeds the Sophomore Manager. The managerial duties include care of equipment, selection of officials, score-keepers, timers, etc., posting of schedules, daily bulletins, notifying club managers of meetings, filing of eligibility lists, keeping records of all games and contests and entering scores upon the point chart. Officials for all contests are selected from students who show ability and integrity during their Physical Education classes in the knowledge of the rules and their ability to conduct games. Championship contests are held at the conclusion of schedules during the home-room with a nominal fee charged for admission . Any proceeds derived from these games are handled directly by the school treasurer and is credited to the Intra- mural Athletic Department. This fund purchases the Intra-mural Club Plaque and Individual Award, equipment not furnished by the Board • . of Education and yearly subscriptions to magazines and journals per- 9 O I CI taining to Physical and Health Education and Athletics. one hundred eighty-one For a school in its first year DeVilbiss had a strong track team. With a few former track men and a group of promising material, Coach Pollman soon had a team worthy of the name of DeVilbiss. It opened its first season by taking third in the Y. M. C. A. relay carnival, being beaten by Scott and Waite. With Captain Reilly setting the pace, the team defeated Libbey and Woodward, but lost to Waite, Scott, and Ann Arbor in dual meets. It placed fourth among ten class A teams in the first University of Toledo track and field indoor meet, fourth in the city meet. Part of the team went to the Mansfield Relay Carnival to the state meet at Columbus. T R A C K and also and then With the letter men, Capt. Reilly, Fred DeShetler, Hamlin Tanner, Bill Wyatt, Glen Hogle, Don Percival, Bob Manthey, Paul Georgio, Jim Robinson, Herb Boyer, Dave Heinle, Kenneth Sampson, Wendell Cook, and Don Smothers, and other promising material, Coach Pollman was confident of having his team in the running when the season opened. In the indoor meets the team easily beat Fremont, Libbey, and Woodward and lost by a narrow margin to Ann Arbor. In the Y. M. C. A. Carnival the team closely contested with Scott for first place, but were finally forced into second, a great improvement over the close third of the year before. At this time, the team is training for the Toledo University indoor meet to which all the best schools in the state have been invited. There are many outstanding men on the team. Captain Reilly holds several records in the mile and the city record for the 880 yard run. Fred DeShetler took first in the 880 and second in the mile at Mansfield. Paul Georgio took second in the high hurdles in the city meet. Bill Boyer tied for first in the sophomore high jump at the Y. M. C. A. meet. In the meets of this year, MacKinnon, Bob Mathey, Hamlin Tanner, Don Smothers, Slater Hennassy, and the mile relay team have also been outstanding. In the dash are Manthey, MacKinnon, Bleckner, Cook, Moore, Misch, Geraid, and Searle. In the 440 yard dash are Fanner, Wyatt, Percival, and Hogle. 1933 has already met with much success by becoming the City Champs. They have also brought home two other trophies. It is a real team and it is with deep regret that we watch the seniors go. However, the prospects for next year are fine. Many under class- men will carry on the good work and spirit of this year ' s team. Under the capable coaching of Mr. Pollman, we are sure of a victorious year. de vilb one hundred eighty-two M A N A G E R S pot o The equipment used by the athletic teams is taken care of by boys who volunteer to become the manager of that sport in order to work for a manager ' s varsity D. These managers are not any of the boys who came out for this activity, but are boys that are of good character and have the ability to work and at the same time a good executive for his numerous helpers. Managers are not to be looked down upon as flunkies, but are to be respected for their achieve- ment in becoming a manager. It is their duty to keep all equipment in shape and at the same time keep the enthusiasm of the team at its peak. When the numerous students report for managers they are given some duties that are to be ' performed and those that seem to be the most efficient and capable are selected for the positions. There is one senior student selected who is to be general supervisor over his under class helper. Freshmen, sophomores, or juniors are to be assistants this year and when they become upper classmen then they are qualified to be regular varsity manager. Lower classmen are called understudies. The managers are selected either by the coach or the Director of Athletics. After a year ' s work the varsity manager is given a varsity D which entitles to all privileges of a varsity man and permits him to join the varsity D Club. There is just one boy who receives his letter as a manager; that is, a boy in each sport. There were several varsity letters given last year and some lightweight letters which had the same significance as the varsity letter. The varsity letter is distinguished from other sports letters by the letter M printed in the D this of course signifies the word manager. The duties of a football manager are to see that the field is in shape; to keep all ground equipment in condition and ready for use, and to clean and check in all uniforms. George Jones was the manager of the 1931 team. George proved to be a very efficient and likable manager. Darrel Miller was manager of the 1932 team and was assisted by Glen Smith, who was the junior manager. Two under classmen assisted also. In basketball, the manager ' s duties are to equip players with uniforms and take care of the balls. At games he must keep a bench score. Robert Kirkbride was the manager for the past two seasons, and one of the best in the school. He had Bert Strand as his under- study along with two assistants to help in his work. The manager of baseball equips all players with uniforms, lines a field, looks after other equipment such as bats, ball, and catcher ' s equipment. George Uhiel was a capable manager for this job. The manager of track has many things to be looked after such as hurdles, jumping standards, vaulting poles, shot put, and discus. The manager of the track team has an excellent job, for it takes him out in the finest of weather. He must also mark lanes on the track for the different runners. Robert Fielding was very efficient in this sport, with his staff of assistants. The manager of the cross country team must look after the ailments of sore muscles for the runner. His main duty is to lay out a course through the country side with a few difficulties to surmount. Cliff Minke took care of duties of this sport. We have to give these boys credit, they knew that they couldn ' t earn their letter in any sport so they took up managing. This job is harder than some of the sports, for it requires the presence of the manager at every game, meet, or match gold that is played. Get the right idea about these managers. They ' re not underdope; they ' re workers and are deserving of more credit than is given. one hundred eighty-three G i; s ' t E R Emblems are awarded to girls for their achievements as students and ability as athletes. An accurate individual record is kept of all the points which a b girl has earned toward her letter. The system used is the same as that used in every other Toledo public high school. As a scholar the girl must pass all subjects with nothing below a C average. Points are given for this. All correctable physical defects which the girl has must be corrected. Each girl who is working for a letter must keep a health card. Good sportsmanship must be shown at all times during the entire year. Leadership is a very important point for which girls may win letters. Credit is given for a position as an officer or member of another organization and for assistance to gym teachers with classes. Girls may referee or coach after school intra-mural sports to earn points. In regular class credit is given for a squad leadership and also for membership in a leading squad each semester. Points are given for participating in any sport whether or not it is to be had in school. In intra-mural sports points are given for membership on winning teams as far as fourth place. This is one of the best systems possible since it is not only fair, but also very enjoyable. Girls who receive these letters become members of the Letter Club which is the honorary chapter of the Girls ' Athletic Society. It is every girl ' s desire to be in the letter club be- cause it affords many advantages and privileges not enjoyed by everyone. Members are also allowed to wear the emblem they have won. This club does all in its power to support every worthwhile event in which they have a part with surprising pep and enthusi- asm. Much credit is due girls earning emblems. An emblem stands for a school year of hard work in a widely varied program of athletic activities, faithfulness in abiding by the health rules, and maintaining standards of high scholarship as well as proving worthiness in leader- ship, sportsmanship and physical fitness. Many interesting and healthful events have been planned during the year of 1932-1933 to enable girls working for letters to gain points. Among them are: a basketball foul shooting contest held at the close of the basketball season, a demonstration of work done in all the physical education classes, clubs and intra-curricular groups including clogging, tumbling, tap dancing, games and stunts. A track meet held during the afternoon of the May Festival afforded an opportunity for letter points and club points to be earned. A breakfast hike is scheduled for May. This means rising at dawn and hiking until breakfast time, when an open fire built out of doors ' . furnishes fuel for a breakfast of bacon, eggs, toast, oranges, and coffee. de V I I bi one hundred eighty-four What a school! What a glorious, happy, lucky lot of girls whose good for- tune it is to have a large, spacious gym in which to let themselves loose to be kids Q and forget tomorrow ' s quiz. Four nights a week the walls of our girls ' gym echo with the ecstacies and wild shrieks of delight and regret. But throughout j every game is displayed both good sportsmanship and an undying love of the game. At DeVilbiss, girls ' intramural athletics play an important part in the | curriculum. Throughout the entire school year tournaments are being held after school in various sports. These are thoroughly enjoyed by all the partici- 5 pants as well as the spectators. A plaque was offered this year by the Girls ' Athletic Society. Competition was keen during the entire time. The par- ticipating teams are made up of members of various organizations and clubs of S the school. Each of these clubs may enter as many as three teams. The teams are then divided into leagues. League 1 meets after school on Mondays and P Wednesdays, and League 2 meets after school on Tuesdays and Thursdays. - The girls who act as referees and scorekeepers are instructed in the important Qy points of the games in a special class for that purpose. By taking part in the q intra-mural sports, girls earn points toward the letter which is awarded at the K end of the school year. ' Last year the intra-mural season was short because of the organization of Sthe new school and because the fields were not usable. Basketball lent itself most conveniently and two big league tournaments were conducted. The Girls ' Athletic Society won in one league, and Dales ' Dilerious Dribblers were victorious in the other. At the final game the latter team, whose captain was the famous Connie Dale, emerged victorious. Hit Pin Baseball is the next intra-mural sport. The Green Freshies, captained by Louise Snodgrass of one league, and the Hi-Y Kickers, captained by Euvon Crawford, were champions. Baseball and tennis were offered in a very short season but due to the early closing of school no tournament was held. Basketball is the favorite sport of most of the girls. There are more participants in this than there are in any after school sports. It is played during the season from Thanks- giving until Christmas. This year the large number of entrants were divided into two leagues in Round Robin tournament style. There were twenty-eight teams entered which means that about three hundred and fifty girls reported to the girls ' gym to display their superiority over the opposing teams. In one league the Mickey Mousers team, captained by Lucille (Pee Wee) Binns, finished first. The Peri ' s Captained by Gertrude Stacey, finished second and the Girls ' Athletic Society I, with Helen Howell as captain, came in third. In league II, The Nertz with Pat Searight as captain finished second. The Spanish Club, whose captain was Euvon Crawford, finished first and the Girls ' Athletic Society, with Ruth Loos as captain, finished third. The two leading teams played a game during activities period for the championship, and after an exciting clean game, the Spanish Club emerged victorious. The 26-1 score by no means truly represents the game which was not as one-sided as the score would indicate. After the baketball season a foul shooting contest is held, entrants. The Club making the highest score wins. Each club is allowed three pot o go Volley ball is another sport which the girls enjoy. The tournaments are conducted in the same manner as the others but due to lack of time there was no tournament this year. During the spring when baseballs are to be seen sailing through the air you may readily guess that the girls have begun their indoor baseball games, and that the famous home run queens are at work again. Last year there was little done besides the class games, but this year a Round Robin Tournament was held in which many teams competed. Baseball is an immensely popular sport with the girls and affords them much pleasure. The girls of DeVilbiss have a fine athletic program and enjoy every month of the school year.

A few of the students play tennis in class during the regular indoor baseball season. Josephine Sawaya, one of tennis ' most ardent admirers holds the championship cup from the Luella Cummings Home. We have another star in Thelma Barber, who won the tennis championship at Willys Park last summer. It is hoped that next year several tennis courts will be built in the grounds at the rear of the building. If this were possible this year, much more could be done, as this is one of the best exercises a girl can enjoy, one from which she acquires an attrac- tive grace and poise. Deck tennis, a new sport at DeVilbiss, is enjoyed very much by the girls who participate. Although no deck tennis tournament is held, the game is played during class periods. Almost any night after school, Ginny Schoedler and her pal Ruth Remdt may be seen in the gym jiggling the little white ring. They are only two of the many girls who vigorously tax themselves, thoroughly enjoying this fascinating game. Clean sportsmanship is displayed throughout every game — not only in deck tennis, but in every other sport as well. Step! ! Step! ! Shove !! Bang! ! Oh, it went on minus 10. Well, I ' ll get it off next time. Such expressions as these are heard in the girl ' s gym when the shufflers are shuffling. This game is just loads of fun — ask Red Wood and Sally Wonacott. Beginners are always stiff and sore for a few days, but after they get used to it, the game is fine and they love it. This game can best be played when a loose dress or gym suit is worn and the arms are free. Miss Ellen Foote said never to wear high heels — ask her what they did to her. Tap dancing is taught at DeVilbiss to all the girls who desire it. Miss Gotschall, who specializes in Tap Dancing, teaches some classes, while Mrs. Mohrhardt and Miss Ramsey teach the others. The dances taught are not easy ones, and require a great deal of practice. There have been two tap dancing clubs formed, one for beginners and one for advanced dancers, both of which meet during activities period. During the open house, tap exhibi- tions were given by the classes dressed in black and white costumes, did a very clever dance- Another dance which was very well liked was the sailor ' s dance by the Seniors, in which the girls wore sailor suits. Miss Jane Kidney accompanies all dancing classes. This sport requires more strength and nerve than the average one. The club which meets during activities period, has as members only the girls who are especially interested, since there is a lot of hard work. Last year at Open House, this club put on an interesting exhibition. The various colored blouses worn by the girls gave a rainbow like appearance to the performance. pot o go Tumbling as one of the girl ' s sports is taken at sometime or other by nearly every girl in the school. It is taught during class and also after school in a special club for that purpose. Tumbling requires a good deal of skill and nerve. Stunts which are taught require a well balanced body to execute them and cannot be learned without a great deal of hard work. At open house last year the tumbling classes gave as their contribution a number of stunts. In this they wore short black trunks and colored blouses to represent the rainbow. In this way they presented a strik- ing picture. This year the girls again looked very picturesque in all white suits doing their stunts on black mats.

Collins — Farewell! a word that must be, and hath been — A sound which makes us linger; — yet — farewell! To the class I have enjoyed working with so much, fare thee well. Grace Kratz — A class that has exhibited the qualities of service and leader- ship which you have, is needed in the world of action. We reconcile our loss by the knowledge of the world ' s gain. Samuel B. Emery — The limb is a thing of beauty. Each twig and branch bound firmly to the other. Attached to the parent tree it sways in unison, it cooperates in every movement. Time marches on. The limb must be severed from its parent, the twigs and branches must be scattered, the gaping wound of its absence left for the future to heal — Valete. Harry Rice — You Seniors of 1933 have given much to DeVilbiss. You are also taking plenty away, especially the best wishes of the faculty. Here is to success — Seniors. M.

The portals of life stand open: Enter, meet your opportunities and strive to live worthily always.

We hope that all of you will feel that your graduation is not the end of your happy times with us, but that you belong and will always be welcome in the gym. Rose L. Bloom — If you are always loyal to your own aims and ideals, we, at DeVilbiss, shall have cause to be proud of you. We hope you may ever be as sincerely gay as on Graduation Day.

Carrie Eger — To you, Class of 1933, who leave behind a record of real achievement, good fellowship, clean and wholeseome sportsmanship, and lasting friendships, we are loathe to say farewell.

Florence Cooper — May you be as successful in the future as you have been in the capacity of Seniors for the past two years. Margaret S.

Marjorie Sloan — The wish of practically every Senior could be stated quite completely in the following; sentence: I only wish that I had more years to spend at DeVilbiss. Lee Miller and Ted J. Osmialoski — The time has come when the athletic- career of a great many fellows is drawing to a close. We hope that the goal at which we were aiming will be reached in the near future. Virginia Damm — In my Book of Memories, the years I spent at DeVilbiss will always recall thoughts of days filled with happiness and lasting friendships formed within its walls. Arlene Wood — I only hope the rest of my life will be as happy and full of fine ideals as my all too short years have been here at DeVilbiss. Reva J.

Bob Metzler — The two years during which I have attended DeVilbiss have been filled with wonderful opportunities, enjoyable times, and lasting friendships. It is with regret that I leave all of this behind. Phil Abbey — As I leave this school, so richly endued both in the spirit of fraternalism and high educational purpose, it is with a distinct feeling of leaving a place ever to be cherished in my memory. Joseph Yager — Our school has already accomplished much, but even more remains unfinished. May our successors profit by our mistakes and do those things that we have either failed in or neglected. Annette Warnke — At last I have come to the full realization of what the friendship, sportsmanship, and the character of my high school friends have meant to me.
