Just as the picture above symbolizes, the school j ' ear 1933-34 was one in which DeVilbiss looked up. The pages in this book, we hope, will serve as a memorandum of all those progressive ups at which we are looking. To this idea of Progress that Merritt Nauts, our principal, personifies we appropriately dedicate this second volume of the Pot O ' Gold. As editor, I wish to express my appreciation for the hours that the people spent who worked with me to edit this record of progress. Let not the pages of this book become aged and yellow in the attic; let them not change hands. Keep this treasure before your experienced eyes and recall the im- mature, happy days you spent with friends here — friends who can be restored to your memory by these pages. Therefore, we hope that time will never take this book from the place it occupies in your heart. Then, this staff will feel rewarded for its effort. [3] THOMAS A. DeVILBISS 1878 1928 Thomas DeVilbiss in his youth Caught the vision splendid Of fair Truth and Honor Of Wisdom and Service of mind and heart. He loved growth and cherished it Beauty he beheld and loved. Our faces are turned to the east; We too have caught the vision. May we, like Thomas DeVilbiss Love Truth and Wisdom, Beauty and Honor And lose ourselves in Service for others That in this house of his Every noble purpose may be achieved On our journey toward Immortalitj [4] rA4UlTT 51 One may call the faculty a crew of a ship, a crew which has its weather eye peeled for what- ever difficulties may arise. At the first notice arrangements are made to offset this problem looming ahead. Again one great attempt overcomes the confront- ing obstacle with the united effort of everyone — co-opera- tion. The faculty of DeVilbiss High School has repeatedly over- whelmed difficulties and has come out on top with well-merit- ed laurels. 6] MERRITT C. NAUTS In accordance with the ideals of our school, we dedicate this 1934 edition of the Pot 0 ' Gold to the Spirit of Progress. During the last three years the spirit of progress has plaj ' ed an important part in the development of DeVilbiss. In so short time it has given us traditions, a definite character, and a reputation which puts DeVilbiss in the first rank. Progress implies a motivating force. The one who has helped us progress so rapidly in so short a time is our principal, Mr. Merritt C. Nauts. With untiring energy, he has worked to place our school on the highest plane by introducing the most modern and progressive methods of education. His first interest was in high scholastic standards, and the result of this interest was the inauguration of an honor society. His next concern was for proper equipment to provide every modern means for improved instruction, and in less than two and a half years, our auditorium has sound equipment for the projection of educational films. Then, through his fore-sight and decisive action, our dreams of a stadium, which we had not hoped to get for many years, became, within a few months, a reality. We, the class of 1934, who entered this new school as sophomores and have been inspired by the speed with which we have accomplished our aims, hope always to be looking forward in this ever-changing world and to keep in step with progress.

In the first act the student portrays the timid freshman; then there is that mischievous sophomore. Again, in the third act, we see an impatient junior. But when a senior, he finds that the year shps by too fast, for this is his happiest year. [14 1 1. Tom Searle 2. Jerry Folger 3. Betty Martin 4. Richard Girkins For the present senior class, the last year in DeVilbiss High School has been a profitable one. The class, after starting its high school career at McKinley and Robin- son Junior High Schools, came to DeVilbiss as full fledged sophomores. First, came the two events to which the parents were invited to become acquaint- ed with the teachers, the Settlor Girls ' Tea, and the Father and Sons ' Banquet. The Senior Play, The Royal Family , directed by Miss Eger, was very enjoyable. The Senior Banquet, followed by the picnic, was attended by many seniors. The outstanding event was the Senior Prom held in the Woman ' s Building. Last of all, the Baccalaureate Sermon and Commencement exercises brought an end to our work and our social events. We, in leaving DeVilbiss, hope that the seniors to come will enjoy their year here as we have; we know we shall always cherish memories of pleasant times in DeVilbiss. 15 1 I Dorothy Adams Library Club, 1-2-3; Peri- clean Literary Society, 3-4; Prism Staff, 2-3 4; Ex- change editor, 3-i; Junior Carnival Committee, 3.

Don Bishop Ho, hum! as another year rolls around, we find our activities at an end. Wasn ' t the afternoon dance fun? At least it served as a starter for the year ' s activities, and the friendly atmosphere helped us to get acquainted. And didn ' t you enjoy the Junior Play. We all agree that Booth Tarkington ' s Seventeen is one of the cleverest plays the committee could have chosen. Con- gratulations to the cast and to Miss Eger, who successfully directed the production. Then the Junior Hop We wish only that everyone delighted as much as we did in waltzing amid the spring arbors and flowers. With Miss Mildred Pasch, whom we all admire and respect for her capability and helpful advice, we were able to complete a successful year. But don ' t think we are satisfied. Next year we are going to try to be the most outstanding Senior class DeVilbiss ever has known or ever will know.

[42 1 • 1 1 irtB JUNIORS Here ' sa sprightly group of thirty-six juniors who comprise Miss Rose Bloom ' s home- room. DSt Gobrecht, as president, takes charge of all activity. Who is the official watch-dog of the exchequer and scribe? Iris FHckinger answers to that title. Let ' s delve into the past for a moment. What ' s this? you say. In their first year, these now superior juniors intrigued to bring the freshmen into the public eye! They made plans for the Freshman Frolic, the first freshman activity in DeVilbiss. Colossil nerve , snorted the upper classmen. But our intrepid friends made the party a grand success. The class finds JuHe Mueller, who had the lead in the Junior play, a capable student council representative. Chuck Hearson distributes Prisms and haggles with Scotch members ove r subscriptions. When assembUes are planned Carl Pilz is on the spot to help as 207 ' s representative. In extra-curricular affairs, this homeroom ' s members also take part — Dwight Misch and Warren Robinson scamper around the track for health and fame. Dick Wageman thrusts and parries at his adversary in fencing or in conversation. Jean Capron and Betty Wyatt are playing in the DeViltries of ' 34. Nearly everyone in the group belongs to a club. Our homeroom, 219, has a considerate and helpful adviser, Mrs. Claypool. She has helped us plan our activities and has advised us in choosing our subjects. Giving to the Red Cross and making a Thanksgiving basket have been our contributions to welfare this year. We hold our hearts in reverence to the memory of Herbert Yark, who, although he is gone to mortal eyes, will always remain a youthful memory to us. We are proud to have some of the well-known students of the school with us. Some are: Ralph Wickter and Junior Kendall, who are on the swimming team; Arthur Cross, who is on the track and cross-country teams; Lewis Martin, who is known for his all-around sports; Georgia Thaxton, who played a character role in the operetta 0, Doctor ; Howard Fenton, Donald Jones and Eloise Zachrich, who portrayed parts in the Junior Play, Seventeen . Although we use most of our tim.e for study we have some activities. At the end of each year we have a homeroom picnic which is a farewell to our classmates for the summer. We have programs to celebrate great events. We have as our officers: Lewis Martin, president; Martin Damm, vice-president; William Sprengel, secretary. This homeroom consists of 40 students, the majority of them being juniors. We are fortunate in having Mr. CoUins, the senior class adviser, as our homeroom adviser. He arouses within us much school spirit and co-operation for school projects. At Thanksgiving, the boys and girls filled three large baskets. Our classroom is well represented with letter bo.ys. They are: Dick Mosier, Hector McKinnin, Felix Solek, and Jack Chapman. The girls also play an important part in the school activities, mainly in athletics. The room is well represented with the various literary societies, the Philalethean and Periclean. There are four letter girls, a name which signifies conscientious all around good sportsmanship. They are: Patty Searight, Eunice LaRue, Betty Downie, and Sylvia MacDermid. The homeroom officers are: president, Dick Mosier; vice-president, Alice Strand; secretary, Virginia Hardy; Prism representative, Robert Leonard; student council delegate, Fred Baur; welfare organization committee, Sjdvia MacDermid, Dot Baertchi, and Pat Searight; Assembly Committee, Lucille Ashton.

[44] JUNIORS No, we have not been outstanding, but feel that we have accomphshed much in ac- quiring the treasure of companionship. George Bova, our president, is never too busy to be consulted by members, despite the fact that the duties of junior class vice-president claim much of his attention. Matthew Kolb, as vice-president, carries on the work of our head executive. Never do we try to skip homeroom for it is impossible to escape the eyes of Edward Shunk, secretary. Our Welfare Committee, headed by Marian Peterson, has met with success in everything it has undertaken. George Bova and Florence VanCleve excel in the scholastic field, the latter belonging to the Sophomore Honor Society. Tommy Stead, possessor of a lightweight letter, is a member of the swimming team. A number of girls are working for a Girls ' Athletic Society emblem. Dorothy Schramm and Virginia Clancy are already possessors of this award. Tom Stead, George Bova, and George Schaiberge are members of the Junior Hi-Y. The latter is treasurer of the Spanish Club. Edward Shunk and Harry Shertinger are on the Junior play committee. Two officers of the Philalethean Literary Society are Charlotte Homrighaus and Florence VanCleve, vice-president and secretai ' y. Mr. Coontz, our adviser, lends his assistance whenever needed. Our homeroom group of iorty students has as president Glenn Morgan. Other officers are: vice-president, Virginia McCormick; secretarj ' , Lorena Stults; treasurer and Prisrn representative, Mead Thompson; and student council representative, Crosby Keller. Our group co-operated in the packing of the Thanksgiving and Christmas baskets. For this work Marie Fox was chairman. Many members of our group are interested in athletic activities. Robert Keeling and Reginald Barclay are on the track team, and Crosby Keller is on the swimming team. There is the homeroom basketball team with Edward Green as captain. Among the girl athletes of our group is Betty Huber, who is interested in basketball. A few students are interested in musical organizations. Among these students are: Marie Fox, a member of the Flying Squadron Band; Edwin Kibler, a member of the Boys ' Quartet; and Frances Bierbaum, a member of the Glee Club. Dramatics are not neglected, for we have as our adviser. Miss Eger, who has charge of the junior and senior class plays. Crosby Keller assisted on the junior play committee. Crosby is the president of the Little Theatre Guild, and has appeared in the plays The Travellers , and Grandma ' s Christmas . He was fortunate in being able to spend his freshman year of high school in Geneva, Switzerland, where he attended the International School. Homeroom 112 is comprised of thirty-three students, many of whom have taken part in numerous school activities. The organization of the class is as follows: Gail Powers, president, an able executive as well as a capable athlete; Joe Flynn, vice-president; Eleanor Eaton, secretary; Wallace Duncan, treasurer; Ethel Hawthorn, assistant secretary. Class representatives are: William Woodie, student council; George Beier, publications; Eleanor Eaton, assembly, and also chairman of the various other committees. Although the scholastic standing is not among the highest, this group has reason enough to boast of the athletic abihty of its members. Gail Powers, Bob McCloud, Foster Backus, Norman Bertwistle, and Daniel Weber may be classed among the foremost on our grid team, while Jack Kelly, Wallace Duncan, Ralph Stadleman, WiUiam Woodie, Lloyd Wileman, and George Beegle are active in basketball. John Donovan is a member of the newly organized Tiger swimming team. A few of the extra-curricular activities in which this homeroom has participated are: the Glee Club, the Dramatic Society, the Junior Hi-Y, the Spanish Club, and the German Club. 145] Otj hirM Fourth Row: Allen Christen, Hobert Selvey, Bud Christmen, Francis Christmas, Kenneth Reuman, Jack Sears, Norman DeLaForet.

At the opening of the school year an election of officers was held, and the following students were elected: Edward LeGant, president; Delores Campbell, vice-president; and Helen Horner, secretary. An election was also held for representatives to the student council and to the Prism. Edward LeGant was elected student council representative and Robert Selver, Prism. Baskets of food for the needy were filled at Thanksgiving and Christmas bj the class. Dorothy Mutchler, Dorothy Sailer, Mary Blotkamp, and Delores Campbell headed the committees in charge of this work. The Gorgas Memorial Essay Contest was won by Norman Eberlein who was therefore chosen to represent DeVilbiss in the National Contest. The outstanding athletes of our class are Edward LeGant and Ralph Fall. Edward has played center on the football team for three successive years and probably will his senior year. Ralph is active on the DeVilbiss tennis team and has received a letter for his work. As one of the manv homerooms in the school, we strive for higher scholastic standards and for co-operation of all in the activities at DeVilbiss. The junior homeroom group consisting of twenty-eight students, meeting in Room M- 21 has Mr. Parker and Mr. Hartman as advisers. At the opening of the scholastic year 1933- 1934, the members of this homeroom elected homeroom officers and representatives for the student council. Prism, and student assembly. Maldwyn Woodard, an excellent leader, was elected president. John Timmers and David Perry, c ' apable and willing workers, are liked at their positions of vice-president and secretary. Bill Burman and Robert English were chosen representatives of the student council and student assembly. Richard Smith, a rising lightweight basketball player, was elected publication representative. Besides Richard Smith, other lightweight players, who will undoubtedly be varsity players next year, are Maldwyn Woodard, our homeroom president, and Ty Wening. There are only two Varsity D letter men in our room. These are Richard Gebhart and Ted Holzemer. Each is an excellent baseball player and with their co-operation the team will be hard to beat this year. David Perry is a popular member of the Hi-Y Club. He may very likely be received into the National Honor Society this coming year. Homeroom 203 comprises thirtj ' -eight junior students. The class officers are: president, Donald Bishop; vice-president, Virginia Byrne; treasurer, Zeph Ballmer; student council member, Gordon Southard; Prism delegate, Dorothy Ash. Through the efforts of these officers and adviser, Miss Ehzabeth Johnson, we have enjoyed a reputation of good will and co-operation. We have work ed for such organizations as the Red Cross and Commimity Chest. Our outstanding scholars are Gordon Southard, president of the Sophomore Honor Society, Virginia Byrne, Barbara Spooner, Willette Price, and Donald Bishop. Participating in junior class activities are: Virginia Byrne, chairman of the J-Hop committee; Donald Bishop, chairman of the Junior Ring committee; and Bob Wilson, junior class treasurer. Our contribution toward the athletic activities are: Wayne Babcock, captain of the DeVilbiss lightweights; Gordon Southard, captain of the swimming team of 1933-1934; and Tom Grimes, captain of the cross country team. Virginia Byrne took the lead in the Little Theater Guild production. Others in the cast were Betty Michelfelder and Dorothy Ash. The Junior Hi-Y can be proud of its president, Gordon Southard, and its treasurer, Donald Bishop. [47] Back Row: Bob Smith, Robinson A ' anWormer, Herman Rehberg.

The president is Joan Powell; the vice-president, Ruth Fox; the secretary, Eve Bergstrom; the treasurer, Evelyn Bedee. Our class has pai ' ticipated in a number of school activities, such as the Red Cross Drive, which went over very successfully. In the filling of Thanksgiving and Christmas baskets, all the students gave their co-operation to make some poor family happy. Several boys of our class have formed a fine basketball team. The active members are: John Hudson, John Barclay, George Kangas, Richard Sommerville, Joseph Guitteau, and Hayward Augustus. A number of the students belong to active clubs about the school. Members of the Hi-Y Club are B0I5 Troup, treasurer, and Robinson Van Wormer. Thad Moore is a member of the Playshop; Ruth Fox, the Altae Puellae; Betty Chapman, the Spanish Club; and Amy Stahlwood, Evelyn Beede and Eva Bergstrom, the Senior Friendship Club. One whom we are proud to have among us is Bob Troup, president of the junior class. Joan Powell is student council representative, and Bob Freeman is our Prism representative. Bob Smith won a place for himself on the varisty football team. In the recent opperetta Oh, Doctor! Mary Cathryn Reeg showed herself a delightful heroine and Thad Moore also had an important lead as one of the doctors. Thad was also selected to play the leading role in the junior play, Seventeen.

Robert Palmer — President Virginia Baker — Vice-president Lucille Henning — Secretary Neoma Coplc — Treasurer Beryle Boldman — Student Council Jack McCauley — Prism Homeroom 252, with Miss Pasch as adviser, is one of the most active Junior homerooms. Although the students orginally came from many different schools, they readily became acquainted and formed a co-operative group which has been difficult to surpass. The class is not lacking in members who stand high scholastically. William Eyler, who is also a member of the Hi-Y, and who is on the lightweight basketball team, has received all A ' s throughout his high school career. Charles Yeager, Betty Hartman, Betty Dierks, and Charles Probst have received all A ' s and B ' s. Athletics are represented by Crary Davis and Wayne Slater, who are on the boxing and track teams, respectively. Three presidents are in this group: Carl Smith, of the German Club; Lorrainne Coombs, of the Spanish Club; and Frances Cuj-tis, who governs the Altae Puellae. Charles Yeager is vice-president of the Hi-Y; Betty Hartman is treasurer of the Girls ' Athletic Society and secretary of the Junior class; and Tom Donnell} is our efficient student council representative. In a contest with Miss Elizabeth Johnson ' s group, our home-room succeeded in contributing the largest amount to the library fund. r49 1 Top Row: William Terrill, Vincent Jones, Howard Burgan, Howard Feigley, Don Willets, William Sanders, Junior Atfield.

[5o: JUNIORS Our homeroom, M-3, is supervised by Mr. Romberger, who devotes his utmost attention to the student group in order that each may benefit by this period of study and open dis- cussions of curricular affah ' S. This room is in the shop wing. All members are boys — four seniors, and twenty juniors. Our officers are: Howard Feigley, president; Jack Beck, vice-president; Daniel Dymarkoski, treasurer; Alfred Hoffman, student council representa- tive; and Fred Farnol, publication representative. Our best student, scholastically speaking, is Dan Dymarkoski, a senior. We see him studying frequently while we, who are not so inclined, take life easy. Dan is energetic and very business-like. ,We predict success for him after leaving school. Fifteen students comprise the homeroom group of the library training class. The officers are: Marie Buehrer, president; Richard Gremhng, secretar,y and treasurer; Lois Berthoif, publication representative; Mary Margaret Martin, student council representative; Robert Stohon, assembly representative. Each student is assigned an hour in which he does practical work in the library. Some of the duties are : shelving books, keeping the shelves in order, writing fine notices, checking magazines, and filing cards. All new magazines are checked and put into folders; others are reinforced with heavy paper. Ranking high scholastically are Lois Berthoif and Marie Buehrer. Those who take active part in club work are Richard Gremling, Esther Templin, Robert Stohon, Doris Van Antwerp, and Mary Kay Larkin. Jessie Aitkens is very much interested in school athletics The class is supervised by our very well-Hked adviser, Mrs. Shawen. She lends a guiding hand to thirty-eight of DeVilbiss ' big worries. Heading the list are: Mary Jane Howard, president; Helen Van Horn, secretary; and Thayer Brown, treasurer. Our Prism representative, Betty Jewhurst, and student council representative, Ethelyn Bartlett, also are very active members. Our big football hero is Norman Klinck. He fought hard in most of the e.xciting battles of the year. Besides playing excellent football with the lightweight team, Thayer Brown has estabhshed quite a reputation as a swimmer. Marshall Wiggins and Louis Vogeli have been very successful in helping the track team. In basketball, we have Laurence Scott who makes the game a little tougher for those who attempt to run away with our lightweight team. Individual talent was displayed by Helen Van Horn who played the part of a French maid in Grandma ' s Christmas , presented by The Little Theater Guild. In the future we hope to rank high as one of the most active and well-organized homeroom groups in DeVilbiss High School. The outstanding pupils in scholastic work are Margaret Huckins, Virginia Wiggins, and Chauncey Beagle, who were elected to the Sophomore Honor Society last year: Grace Fetter, Joe Dyer, and Anna Belle Haag received A ' s and B ' s and one C. Ernanie Raddatz had the highest rating in the typing class. Those interested in athletics and extra curricular affairs are Betty Gravis and Loretta Steinfurth, who are German enthusiasts. Virginia Wiggins is a Philalethean and belongs to the Play Shop. She had the part of Jane in the Junior Class play. Wilma Jacobs is also a member of the Play Shop. Eleanor Kennedy belongs to the Little Theatre Guild. Betty Englert belongs to the Athletic Society and the Senior Friendship Club. Donald Meyers belongs to the Junior Hi-Y. The homeroom group of thirty-seven under the guidance of Miss Marian Smith has as treasurer, Chauncey Beagle. The student council representative was Margaret Huckins. Because Margaret moved to Chicgao, Betty Ann Babcock became repre- sentative. The Prism representative is Anna Belle Haag.

At the beginning of the year, two welfare committees which were appointed by our president, took charge of our Thanksgiving and Christmas baskets. Ahce Zaenger acted as general chairman of both committees. It was through the co-operation of these members that our welfare work at Thanksgiving and Christmas time was made successful. Not only have the girls of the class participated in welfare work, but have contributed their co-operation in supporting school affairs. A number of the girls belong to clubs. Peeping into the door of the Red Cross Club we find Violet Shuff and Beatrice Bertwistle. In the Advance Tap Club are Wyonia Bath and Dorothy Stokes. Betty Hurlbrink is senorita of the Spanish Club. Zets forever , says Bettj Curdes. Eleanor Fuller, Betty Curdes, and Frances Fisher are members of the Senior Friendship Club. If one attends the meetings of the Girls ' Athletic Society, one might find LaMoyne Cochrane and Virginia Weilnau, and Estelle Walendzak. We owe much of the success of our homeroom to our adviser. Miss Stoll. She has aiways been ready with helpful advice and a kind word. IN MEMORIAM Herbert Yark JUNIOR Wesley Zimmerman 52 1. Jack Patterson 2. Betty Barefoot 3. Peggy Downing 4. Tom Lentz Shortly after the beginning of the school term the Sophomore class held its first meeting, at which time Miss PauHne Payne was elected adviser of the class. The class enjoys two distinctions. First, it is the largest class in the school, numbering 727 students; and second, it boasts the largest number of honor students. At Christmas time, a welfare committee, composed of sophomores and headed by Maynard Simon distributed baskets of food to needy. These baskets were donated by the members of the class. Betty Jo Reese, social chairman, had charge of the Sophomore Scamper and also the Sophomore Prom, the class ' s most important social event of the year. The class has sponsored all their projects this year with one aim in mind — to procure a banner for the band. They achieved their aim and immediately after the Sophomore Prom the banner was presented to the band. The splendid manner in which the class has forged ahead this year gives a promise of what they will do next year as upper classmen.

Our officers were elected as follows: Ruth Lessentin, president; Virginia Hosack, vice-president; Luella Drees, secre- tary; Crystal Weaver, treasurer; Jean Fishleigh, student council representative; and Vir- ginia Hosack, publication representative. Our officers are efficient and have proved them- selves capable. As to our activites we delivered baskets to needy families at Thanksgiving and Christ- mas. All the group entered into this spirit of giving. We had a party at the home of Virginia Hosack during the holidays — enjoying games for which prizes were awarded. We were served a pot-luck dinner. We have purchased for our homeroom a new pencil sharpener. Betty Myers was chairman of the committee for this. Audrey Klute is chairman of a committee appointed to purchase a supply of ink for our homeroom. Some have donated plants which make our room attractive and pleasant. All of us enjoyed a ' ' most popular girl contest, by vote, Virginia Hosack winning first place and Ruth Lessentine second. The best athletes were voted Phyllis Klei and Jean Fishleigh. Ruth Hopfield, Eleanor VanGuilder, and Bobbie Johnson were the three highest grade students in our class. Jean Fishleigh has organized an intramural basketball team. Bobbie Johnson plays basketball on the Sophomore X team every Tuesday evening. Our two new students for this year are Crystal Weaver who comes to DeVilbiss from Holland, Ohio and Bobbie Johnson who comes to us from Hollywood, California. Miss Burwick ' s sophomore group in Room 116 numbers thirty-eight students. We have class meetings once a week, and the remaining homeroom periods are devoted to study. We have class discussions on subjects pertaining to the welfare of the class. The officers elected at the beginning of this j-ear were: the president, Mildred Farmer; secretary, Virginia Gilts; treasurer, Ardith Salter. The class representatives chosen were: publications, Catherine Boddy; student council representative, Billy Mills; assembly, Norma Donnelly. A number of our members are active in clubs. Students who belong to the Art Club are Marion Petrie and Norma Donnelly. The girls in the Natural Dancing Club are Geraldine Waldron, Norma Donnelly, and Mildred Farmer. Catherine Boddy belongs to the Senior Friendship Club. Jean Shap and Olive Ridge are members of the Girls ' Athletic Society. Alice Newbury, Joyce Rydmen, Betty Schwen, and Virginia Gilts are in the Tap Club. We hope that next year all the students will be members of clubs. Our homeroom, number 110, is comprised of thirty-seven students. Our class adviser is Mr. Chapman. The officers of the class are: president, Robert Greenwood; vice-president, Edward Schuller; secretary, Robert Schneck; treasurer, Helene Lanker; sergeant-at-arms, Robert Hutchinson. Our student council representative is Mary Alice Powell and our pubhcation representative is Gale Schneider. We haven ' t entered in any special activities, since we spend most of our homeroom periods in study. Mr. Chapman often talks to us during the period, giving us beneficial advice. He stresses the point of using our time to an advantage. We have two pupils who are members of the band, Eleanor Baumberger and Robert Schneck and one member of the orchestra, Anthonj ' Oleksinski. Caroline Meier is a member of the Glee Club and played a leading role in the operetta, Oh, Doctor! William Philo is a member of the swimming team; Virginia Rey and June Staiger are members of the Girls ' Junior Friendship Club; Helen Lanker is a member of the Girls ' Athletic Society and also takes part in intramural activities; Roberta Goodwin is a member of the Red Cross Club and also the Conservatory Club; DuWayne Wise- baker and Robert Mclntyre are members of the Museum Club.

[56] SOPHOMORES Our group in 160 has no officers. AVhen necessary one member is appointed chairman. Betty Slee and Bill Todd efficiently took charge of the Prism drive during the first semester and were reappointed for the second semester ' s work. Bob Brand was in charge of our football subscriptions. Plarold Sauer is our student council delegate. When one of our members, Arthur Ulmer, was ill, a committee consisting of Annabeth Houston and Patricia Smith sent flowers and a greeting to him. Our group won the Prism contest and was a close second in the Red Cross drive. The day after the contest closed, enough was contributed to bring our total beyond that of the winning homeroom. Dorothy Slusser merited three A ' s and a B the first quarter. Last year, when the Freshman-Sophomore Honor Society was formed, seven who were eHgible for membership were: Dorothy Stahl, Betty Slee, Margaret Jones, Mildred Murphey, Harold Sauer, Clifford Penske, and Arthur Ulmer. Bob Brand and Bill Todd are vice-president and secretary of the Sophomore Hi-Y. Although only a class of thirty-nine, we have proved during our two years in DeVilbiss that we work co-operatively for the good of the school and are wilhng to support its projects at all times. The total nvmiber of pupils in Miss Helbing ' s homeroom is 34. There are twenty-two boj ' s and twelve girls. Marian Ninness is the able president. The class motto is Keep DeVilbiss clean. The room ' s heaviest member is Ted Bocian. Its lightest member is a petite young miss who weighs just 90 pounds. This is Marie Bebow. Dean Kennedy is the Priftin representative who always gets our Prisms in quick time. Georgetta Loterzo is our assemblj- program representative, who deserves part of the credit for the fine programs in our auditorium. Richard Diehn is the student council representative who is quite a salesman for Pot 0 ' Gold. The first of the year, 118 started out with a much bigger class but there are several gentlemen who are numbered among the ex-Helbings. Our group recently introduced what we think is a very good plan for DeVilbiss charity work. Each month a box is passed around and those who wish to contribute may give any- thing the.y wish. When the time comes to give baskets, the necessary funds are all ready for use. Treasurer Virginia Dunbar is in charge. Another plan that is working out well is making each member a sergeant-at-arms. The result is surprising. The room is peaceful and the atmosphere is conducive to better study. One of the original homeroom groups in DeVilbiss is that of Miss Lucille Kerlin, in Room 215. It consists of thirty-nine sophomores. James LaFrance is president and Jim Rae, treasurer. The class is represented in the student council by Charlotte Morrison and Prism by Bob Stone, who is also a cheer leader. There are two officers of the sophomore class : Tom Lentz as treasurer, and Peggy Downing, secretary. Chair- man of class committees are Betty Jo Reese, Social committee, and Ed Rose, Pubhcity committee. Four members, Tom Lentz, Dick Bowman, Dick Fahey, and Marshall Carlson have done outstanding work in hghtweight basketball, and Jim Rae is on the varsity team. Our girls, as well as our boys, are prominent in sports; three of them, Anita Smith, Betty Jo Reese, and Kay Sharpe, have won emblems for combined intramural athletics, including basketball, archery, and baseball. The Honor list speaks for us, including the following members from our class: Louise Rowan, Charlotte Ann Morrison, Roberta Newcomb, Betty Jo Reese, Kathryn Sharpe, Peggy Downing, Maxine Meech, Robert Giese, Kenneth Meyer, Robert Ziemer, and Leo Petree.

[58] SOPHOMORES As a majority, this homeroom group has been together for two years. The officers of the organization are: David Gerwick, president; Tom Keating, vice- president; Jean Pastor, treasurer; Juanita Warrick, secretary; John Patterson, sergeant-at- arms. The various representatives are: John Patterson, president of the sophomore class, and pubhcation representative; Maynard Simon, student council representative and Chair- man of the sophomore class Welfare committee with Helen Neilson on the committee; Tom Keating, chairman of the Finance committee with Richard Damm on the committee; and David Gerwick, on the Faculty Program committee. The clubs represented are: Philalethean Literary Society, Jane Boyer, Jean Smurr, Jean Pastor, and Mary MacDermid. Spanish Club, Mildred Howard, Marjorie Nyquist, and Helen Neilson. Junior Friendship Club, Mary MacDermid, vice-president; Jean Pastor, Social Chairman; and Emma Jane Dripps. Glee Club, Esther Keil, Emma Jane Dripps, and Juanita Warrick. Hi-Y Club, David Gerwick, Maynard Simon, and John Patterson. Mr. Shaw ' s Dramatic Club, Emma Jane Dripps. Little Theater Guild and Museum Club, Robert Littin. The adviser is Mrs. Krause. Many students of the future Four Hundred of DeVilbiss are found in Miss Lauer ' s home-room. Their class officers are: Douglas Donovan, president; Billie Cramer, treasurer; Richard Rankin, student council representative, William Ivock, publication representative; Marie Schaefer, program chairman. The class has undertaken many projects successfully. The first was the filling of two Thanksgiving baskets under the capable direction of Genevieve Zydel and Billie Cramer, who also supervised the Christmas basket. During the Red Cross drive, a box on Miss Lauer ' s desk received many pennies which otherwise would have been used for gum or candy. A basketball team was formed with Leland Ryan, captain, Gloyd Sheperd, Durell Ovens, Rickard Potter, Thomas Cullen, Wallace Dyer, Paul Stephan, and Harold Zunk. On the track team are Robert Brown, Thomas Cullern, Kenneth Hayes. Douglas Donovan is a member of the football team, the varsity swimming team, and the Sophomore Hi-Y. Marie Schaefer, a member of the chorus, took part in the operetta, Oh, Doctor! Rosemary Buschmann and Edith Irwin are members of the Little Theater Guild. Rosemary belongs to the German Ciub and was chairman for the hoHday festivities for Miss Brown ' s sixth hour class. Her committee members were Norman Bridwell and Genevieve Zydel. Norman and Wayne Crouch are reporters for the Shop Chatter. As individuals, the class hopes to keep the high standard which is characteristic of the DeVilbiss students. There are fortj -one of us silly, babbhng, sophomores. At the beginning of the hour midst the roar and racket, we hear the voice of our teacher, Mrs. Pasquier, stating, I was under the impression that this was to be a study hour. Now get to work. And so begins our homeroom period. If it ' s true that it all shows up in the grades, Martha Lamson and Nancy Jane Sheely study very hard, for they received all B grades. Our newly elected officers are: president, Tom Delhnger; vice-president, Martha Lamson; secretary, Dorothy Penick; treasurer, Richard Gigax; and sergeant-at-arms, Vernon Gilroy. Mildred Badman is our pubhcations ' representative, and Elaine Vermaas, our student council representative. We have lots of fun but when there is work to be done we work. The room gave Thanksgiving and Christmas baskets decorated with colored crepe paper. Bring on your contest and we will win them is the battle cry of our room. Sounds rather conceited, but we did win the Red Cross Contest, and each person got tickets to two basketball games. They say it takes all kinds of people to make a world, and, believe me, we have one of each kind in our room, from Calvin Miller, the chatter-box, to John Webb, the magician.

[60] SOPHOMORES The group of thirty-nine in room two hundred and thirteen is one of the few homeroom groups that has been together for the past three years. Miss Pauiine Payne, adviser of the last year ' s Freshmen class and this year ' s Sophomore class, is the adviser. Most of the people in the class came from Longfellow, Whittier, and DeVeaux schools. Jack Ramberg was president of the homeroom the first semester, but was succeeded by William Bryan, the publications ' representative. The vice-president for the first half of the school year was Norman Overle, but Betty Sheets was elected for the second half. Corinne Recker, treasurer, and Mary Jane Lutz, secretary, served for both terms. Clarence Hill is one of the few Sophomore students on the Prism Staff. Richard Dixon has been the student council representative for the last two years. He and Mary Jane Lutz are on Sophomore class committees. Howard Seiss and Francis Lawrence are members of the band. The class took an active part during the Thanksgiving and Christmas seasons, by providing baskets of food for needv families. The total number of sophomores in our homeroom is thirty-nine. We have elected the following students for our homeroom officers: president. Sue Spieker; vice-president, Lloyd Hine; secretary, Wilma Frayer; and treasurer, Robert DeMuth. We have taken an active part in practically all the affairs of the school. Our home- room was one of the four highest contributors in the Red Cross campaign. We whole- heartedly boosted the Prism campaign and the Pot 0 ' Gold drive. The library had the full support of our group during their campaign for library funds. Our Prism representative is Lloyd Hine; assembly representative, Robert Bauer; and student council representative, Dorothy Sydlaske. We have a number of students who take interest in the musical and athletic side of our school life. Robert Bauer is a memlier of the Glee Club, and Gerald Walbeck plays in the orchestra. The band claims two — namely, Margaret Meckley and Donald Rice. Our most outstanding athlete is Judson Cannon, who is a member of the varsity swimming team. We consider ourselves exceedingly fortunate in having Mrs. Peoples as our very efficient adviser. We owe much of our success to her, and we hope that at some time may be able to pay the debt of gratitude which we feel is due to her. As we look back over the school year and think of the happy hours that we have shared, a feeling of satisfaction steals over us and we look happily forward to the years that will follow in high school life. Like several of the homeroom groups, we have been together for three years. This year Miss Quinn is in charge of thirty-nine people and she has helped and advised us in organizing our class so that now we have a good president, Juanita Wood; a responsible vice-president, Louis Crandall; capable secretary, Betty Bischoff; and a trustworthy treasurer, WiUiam Stults. Joyce Portz is the student council representa- tive. This is the second year she has been elected to this position. Last year while Tom Cloer was student council representative, he also was treasurer of the freshman class. To add to the excitement, Juanita Wood and Joyce Portz were honorably elected to the Freshman and Sophomore Honor Organization. This year there is added to the honor roll, Mark Maier. This is his first year here, for last year he attended school at Fremont, Indiana. There are several athletic boys in our room, two of whom go in for football. These are Dick Kuohn and our president of last year, Bob Blackburn. Roy Lee received a D for his work in basketball. The girls are doing good work in keeping up with the boys in athletics. Carol Knecht, Dorothy Samson, Jean Peake, Dorothy AVoodby, Lysbeth Jeanne Rood, Mary June Robinson, and Leocadia Walendzak are working hard for letters. [61] i ' H .i : .

[62 1 SOPHOMORES Our group is largely transfers from Robinson Junior High, with additional members from Point Place, Central, Woodward, Columbus, Sylvania, Ohio and Rittsburg. The student council representative is Marino Capriotti, also class president. Other officers are: Charlotte Davidson, vice-president; Virginia Knudson, secretary-treasurer; Mildred Good, Prism representative; and Virginia Knudson, Athletic representative. Under the direction of our adviser, Mrs. Schwenke, our class finished some worthy projects. The Chairman of our Welfare Committee, Evelyn Poganitsch, planned splendid baskets which we gave to our family at Thanksgiving and Christmas. Our social committee, also headed by Evelyn, includes Marjorie Erwin and Mildred Good. This committee also planned a Valentine party to which we all looked forward. Those interested in athletics are William Haase, and Andrew Meyers. Marjorie Erwin, Mildred Good, Virginia Clemens, and Evelyn Poganitsch are squad leaders in the gym classes. Among those interested in English and History extras are Poorest Nickle, Mildred Good, and Evelyn Poganitsch. The extra-curricular honors go to Virginia Hawkins who was in the chorus of Oh Doctor, and will be in the dance given by the Tall Girls ' Club. Our honor roll student is Charlotte Davidson. Do you like bugs and snakes? Well, come and visit us sometime. Our teacher, Miss Severens, will greet you with a mud puppy or, if you prefer a bat, Mr. Skeleton smiles at you through gleaming eyes of blue. We have thirty-seven pupils in our group. The president is William Terrill, a calm and sensible boy, tiny blonde Joyce Anderson is secretary, and our faithful Myron Plousel serves as treasurer. Madelyn Moore is student council representative and Jayne Miller is our Prism repre.sentative. The honor roll pupils are Norman Hites and MjTon Housel. You know our boys are great athletes. They have a basketball team. The following participate: George Thrun, track manager and future football candidate; Clifford Ratz, Edward Richards, Bill Terrill, Dick Shannon and Ralph Ragsdale. Francis Maher is out for track. Tom Baldwin likes fencing while Homer Bisch is out for swimming. Dick Shannon and George Thrun are Cheer Leaders. Now for a little about the girls. Dorothj ' Mackie could go for Bob Smith and Joyce Jacobs is seen roaming with John Syring. When DeVilbiss Glee Club presented Oh Doctor, Mary Ellen Mills appeared as Miss Weakley.- She was forever looking out over the audience to see if her hero, Dan Weber, was there. We think we have done our part in school activities. Baskets which were planned by Geraldine Payne, William Terrill, Norman Hites, and Myron Housel, were sent at Thanks- giving and Christmas. Our class of thirt.y-eight students under our adviser. Miss Ruth Smith, elected the following officers: Dick Bradford, president; Bill Corwin, vice-president; Crowner Fortner, secretary; and Leighton Fitzmorris, treasurer. Our student council representative, Bonnie Bollenbacher, is on the Athletic Com- mission of the council. Blanche Bernhardt holds the office of publications ' representative, and is doing a fine job of it. Those participating in athletics are Ralph Close, a member of the swimming team, and Crowner Fortner, playing football. Among the girls athletically interested are Bonnie Bollenbacher and Jerry MacDowell, both squad leaders and playing on the intra-mural teams. The extra-curricular honors go to Ruth Vance and Elsie Seagren, who were in the chorus of the school operetta, Oh Doctor.

This group, which contains twenty-eight members, represents the various shops of the school. There are boj ' s from the print shop, boys from the machine shop, and boys from the general shop. Mr. Stalker, the supervisor, is in charge of the Industrial Department and a teacher of mechanical drawing. While the group has no outstanding students in academic work, several of the members show promise in the field of mechanical drawing. Three of the members of our band come from this group. These boys are: Albert Hazelwood, AYilbur Kunckel, and Eddie Miehalack. Each of these boys plays the cornet. Wilbur Kunckel is the Prism representative, Lewis John is in charge of the group ' s Annual work, and Willard Myer serves on the auditorium committee. The boys outstanding in athletics are Guy Decker and Daun Lany, both boxers, and Willard Myers who plays football and participates in track events. The group cooperated whole-heartedly in filling baskets for the needy at Christmas time. Who knows but that some daj ' , from this room of drawing boards, T-squares, and triangles will issue a j ' oung draftsman whose designs will revolutionize the mechanical world? As this school year is shorter than usual. Miss Stowe, our adviser, thought we should eliminate unnecessary activities, and devote all our time to stud.y. Although several of the students are interested in contests, projects, and programs, the class as a whole has not participated in these affairs. The president of the class of thirty-eight students is Anabel Peterson. She is the only officer. The student council representative is Marjorie Staubitz. Virginia Taravella, an alert dihgent worker, is publication representative. William Christen so far, is the only possessor of a letter. This he received as football manager. Girls working for a letter are: Audrey Smith, Norma Taylor, and Gwen White. Jesse Smith, John Krenk, and Dick Pfund are members of the orchestra. Some interesting characteristics of the class are as follows: Allan Hansen ' s broad grin, ever adorning his face; Frederick Fair and his contributions to the wastebasket of chewing gum, and Anabel Peterson and Virginia Taravella with their dainty and atte ntive ways. Then too, there are those studious boys, Robert Bowers, Jim Reed, Dick Oster, and Howard St. Aubin. Our Honor Roll consists of Norma Taylor and Elinor Wood. Perhaps as juniors or seniors more of this class will distinguish themselves, but this year the majority are using their time for study. This is the first year at DeVilbiss for the forty members of our group. We are sophomores who have spent our freshman year at some other school. Since it takes time to get acquainted, we have not been so prominent in school activities. However, we have accomplished a few things. Under the able direction of Eleanor Stitzer, we provided a Thanksgiving dinner for a famil} ' . We have achieved som.e distinction in scholarship. Robert Habel received four A ' s, while Holly Evans, Eleanor Stitzer, Sue Dalton, and Anna Newhouse received A ' s, and B ' s. Several of the girls Betty Bullock, Dorothy Eckert, Sue Dalton, and Margaret Mathes are working for letters in the Girls ' Athletic Society; and Arlen Verrier, Jerry Curran, and Joanne Klauser in the intramural teams have won a name for themselves. Norm-an Reed, Donald Munn, Harrison McUmber, George Kopf, and Daniel Woodward have taken to fencing and riding. Bruce McDermott is on the hghtweight basketball squad. Our class is well organized with Robert Habel, president ; George Kopf, vice-presi- dent; Arlen Verrier, secretary; Daniel Woodward, treasurer; Darrell Fox, student council representative; and FIollj ' Evans, pubhcation representative. ■ [65] SOPHOMORES Back Row: Tom Guitteau.

We are just a group of happy-go-lucky fellows gathered together in home room M-10 under the splendid leadership of Mr. Pross, who during the past year has been a friend to all of us. At the beginning of the school year we elected the following officers: president, Joe Gee; vice-president, WiUiam White; secretary, John Chakrian; treasurer, Walter Aring; sergeant-at-arms, Donald Williams; student council representative, Warren Densmore. We feel very proud that they have performed their duties to the best of their ability. When you see our names in the Prism, it is the work of Fred Sullinger, our star reporter ' You will find some of us in almost every school activity. Clifford Humm is a member of the efficient stage crew; Walter Aring and Donald Wilhams are in the Glee Club; Fred Sullinger and Glen lend their harmony to the DeVilbiss band. Some of our members are active in the school athletics also. During the football season we saw Warren Densmore fighting for his alma mater. Then there is Fred Dunn, a dashing young trackman, who hopes to find success in the future. At Thanksgiving time we did not forget the needy. AVe are always willing to share with others, and we really like to make people happy. We support the Prism and the Pot 0 ' Gold for we reahze that is one of our first duties. IN MEMORIAM SOPHOMORE Margaret Stanzell 66 1 1. Abner Martin 2. Betty Peart 3. Phyllis Lee 4. Keith Wilson More than six hundred pupils entered DeVilbiss last year as timid freshmen. Their sympathetic adviser, Mr. Brown, helped them to become adjusted to new con- ditions and aided them in organizing their class early in the j ' ear, so that thej ' could take an active part in the social affairs of the school. Their first social venture was the Freshman Frisk, a matinee dance, which proved the capability of the social committee: Betty Provo, chairman; Larry Wickter, Barbara Brenner, Jerry Murphy, and Max Biringer. Herman Van Sickle presided as master of ceremonies during the elaborate floor show. Bernard Ramey, chairman of the publicity committee, and Leland Brock, chairman of the poster committee, carefully planned an advertising campaign that made the dance a financial success. Having gained confidence in their ability to advertise and manage, they volunteered to sponsor a band concert, the proceeds of which they divided with the band. The first year ' s record of this class of 1937 indicates that it is an energetic, ambitious class, and a credit to DeVilbiss.

[68 1 FRESHMEN There are thirty-nine pupils in Mr. Blanchard ' s homeroom. The class members have elected the following officers: president, Jane Herrick; vice-president, Frank Elmer; secretary, Lowell Cauffiel; treasurer, Jeanette Schaefer. Robert Whitlock is the Piism representative and Max Biringer is the student council representative. The treasurer of the freshman class, Keith Wilson, is one of our group and we also have three members of freshman committees in our homeroom. Jack Clark and Robert Mann are on the poster committee, while Max Biringer is a member of the social committee. The class, as yet, has done no active participating in assembly programs. We have prepared baskets of food for the needy at Thanksgiving and Christmas, were active in the Red Cross drive, and purchased books for the library. There are many in our homeroom who have stood high scholastically. The very highest honors are due Max Biringer for an all A record. Those who received all A ' s and B ' s are as follows: Robert Ansell, Robert Ash, Kenneth Bollenbacher, Richard Clark, Charlotte Glann, Jane Herrick, Helen Nichols, and Nancy Wiggins. Those receiving A ' s, B ' s, and one C are: Robert Barclay, James Martin, Susan Ashenfelter, and Jeanette Schaefer. Murnie Wileman has an all B record. We lost three of the members of our group due to their transferring to other schools. Marie Morrisawa, a Japanese girl, who was an all A and B student, moved to New York City. It is appropriate that Mr. Bricker, of the business department, should be adviser of this group, because, out of forty-two pupils, all but six are commercial students. The group has not elected a president this first year, but Wilbur Beverly is the chair- man who takes care of the room in the absence of Mr. Bricker. The following students carry out the other responsibilities of the room. Frances Deitrickson is student council representative and also acts as homeroom treasurer. George Young is Prism representative. Margaret Darris acts as assembly representative. At Thanksgiving we assembled a Thanksgiving basket for a needy family. The coiii- mittee which acted for this consisted of Helen Pollex, Frances Deitrickson, and Roberta Copic. For the Community Chest fund we made and sold candy in the homeroom to each other. Since the group is a freshman one, the students are not associated as yet with many clubs or school activities. A few are outstanding in their athletic work. For instance, Rita Cashman, June Smith, Lois Frayer, Virginia Durholt, Frances Deitrickson, and Janice Lauck are working for letters. Helen Pollex and Roberta Copic are captains of gym teams. In our homeroom there are forty-three pupils. The class officers are: president, Chester Meek; vice-president, Alfred Carr; secretary, Betty Provo; treasurer, Gene Warwick; student council representative, Eugene Bordinat; Prism representative. Bob Krumm. Our honor students include Harold Klopping, Carl Meyer, Adalaide Kehie, Betty Provo, George Bosenbark, and Gene Warwick. Many of the boys take part in after school athletics. Those taking part in foot- ball and track are Chester Meek and Alfred Carr; Gene Warwick, Medford Barr, Eugene Bordinat, Chester Meek, and Kenneth Miller were on the wrestling team. We have more boys that take a liking to basketball. Among them are Bob Ansted, Medford Barr, Coy Collins, Gene Warwick, Kenneth Miller, and Alfred Carr. Gilbert Smith plays in the band and orchestra. Several girls take part in athletics also. Betty Clarke, AHce Marsh, Evelyn Price, Adalaide Kehie, Dorothy Downing, Aureha Gilpin, Barbara Brenner, Carolyn Niver, and Marcia Dierks played basketball. Those taking tap dancing are Verna Fisher, Dorothy Downing, Helen Steadman, Adalaide Kehie, Jeannette Smith, Lois Levy, Evelyn Price, and Gerry Murphy. Interested in tumbling were Barbara Brenner, Verna Fisher, Mignon Dubs, Dorothy Downing, Adelaide Kehie, Alice Marsh, Carolyn Niver, and Betty Provo.

Clyde Mahaffey serves as student coun- cil representative, David Cummerow as pubhcations representative, and Raymond Staples as assembly program representative. The officers are: Charles Cunningham, president; Virgim ' a Raypole, secretary; Raymond Staples, treasurer; and Mary Combatelli, sergeant- at-arms. One of the group, David Cummerow, is a member of the publicity committee of the freshman class. The Philalethean Literary society has already opened its doors to two of the girls — Betty Fuhrer and Jo SterHng. The first social venture undertaken by this homeroom was a Christmas party held after school on December 22. It was quite a surprise to learn that within the group were two girls, Virginia Dennie and Betty Fuhrer, who were clever tap dancers. At this time gifts and food were brought to fill a Christmas welfare basket. A basket was also filled at Thanksgiving time. The distinctive project upon which this group is working is a How to Study course taken up once a week during the homeroom period under the direction of the adviser. General physical condition and health habits have been checked, sleep charts have been made, and study environment has been noted. Time study charts have also been worked out. Drills memorizing and summarizing have been given. The adviser is Miss Ellen Foote. In October, 1933 the forty membei ' s of homeroom one hundred forty-nine organized themselves as a study club with Miss Guire as sponsor. The following officers were elected: La Verne Fellers, president; Ross Myers, vice-president; Lillian Melchior, secretary; Joan Meyer, treasurer; Albert Burtscher, auditorium representative; John Manore, student council representative; Adehne Hawley, publication representative, and Paul Bennett, host. The spirit of the group has been exhibited in that concerted effort of the members to promote the projects sponsored by the school through homeroom groups. We are par- ticularly happy with the results of our Red Cross drive and with the baskets that were filled at Thanksgiving and at Christmas time. The committees which planned the menus and looked after the collections were: At Thanksgiving time, Mary Jane Ream chairman, assisted bj ' La Verne Fellers, Dorothy Eiseman, and Mildred Lanz; for the Christmas pro- ject Adeline Hawley, chairman, assisted by Mildred Lanz, Norma Ries, and Robert Floyd. This class is composed of thirty-eight pupils. The officers of the class are: president, James Mumford; vice-pre.sident, Leland Brock; secretary, Louise Hansen; treasurer, Charles Longenbarger; assistant secretary, Thelma Simos; student council representative, Lamont Cadmus; Prism representative, Joe Wood; assembly representative, Nancy Vasold. We are represented in athletics by our football team led by the captain, Leland Brock, who pla ys halfback. Tom Reynders plays fullback and Charles Malley quarterback. The two ends are Joe Wood and Charles Longenbarger. The tackles are Richard Weber and Al Wymer. Frank Bykowski and James VanSickle are the guards, while Harry Eckles fills the position of center. These freshmen students have taken great interest in school activities. They are: Leland Brock, chairman of the Freshman poster committee; Frank Bj kowski and Thomas Reynders, Spanish Club; Phyllis Lecklider and Mary Ellen Neiman, Glee Club; James Mumford, secretary of the Freshman Torch Club; Charles Malley, a member of the band; Virginia Weeber and Louise Hansen, Girls ' Athletic Society. Under the supervision of James Mumford, president, the class participated in the school-wide drive for the welfare of the needy at Christmas time as well as in the Thanksgiving season.

[72] FRESHMEN Our class consists of approximately forty members and we consider ourselves fortunate in having Miss Lerche as adviser. It has been under her splendid guidance that we have maintained a good reputation, which we hope to keep during the years that are before us at DeVilbiss. Our officers are as follows: president, Herman VanSickle; vice-president, Harry Heck- athorn; secretary, Ailene VanWormer; treasurer, Robert Brace. We are happy that our student council representative, Betty Jane Brooks, has filled her position with admirable skill. The Prism representative, Kathryn Stacey, and assembly chairman, Mathew Nemeyer have also performed their duties exceedingly well. We have participated in practically all of the school contests, and, although we have not as yet been able to secure any honors, we are still trying. The Pot O ' Gold and the Prism have been genuinely supported by our class, for we realize their importance. We have not taken part in any of the assemblies this year, but we hope to have an audience in the very near future. Our class does not lack honor students, Kenneth Fox, Don Wearley, and Eilene Cooper being among tho.se honored. The band claims two of our members; the quartet, another. We have three years of high school before us, yeai ' s in which we hope to succeed in convincing upper classmen that freshmen are a necessity at DeVilbiss. We have thirtj -nine students in our homeroom group from which we chose our class officers, representatives, chairmen and committee members. The class officers are as follows: WiUiam Cummerow, president; Ruth Yesbera, vice-president; Terry McGarry, secretary; and Sanford Stine, treasurer. We have chosen representatives to let the people know that homeroom 109 is on the map. Here they are: Clarice VogeH, auditorium; Robert Ginter, Prism; and student council, Richard Adkins. When we have a party or dance we must have a chairman and committee. This work will be taken care of by the chairman, Lona Mae White, and her committee, Frances Sullenger, Ruth Yesbera, WiUiam Cummerow, Richard Adkins and WiUiam Shunk. In DeVilbiss High School students are asked to think and give to others before them- selves. We did this at Thanksgiving time with two large baskets filled with many good articles for a needy family. Our group has participated in assemblies by giving a two-act play in charge of which were Ruth Ward and Miss Ruth Lukens. Outside of school our homeroom group held parties, roasts, and organized a boys ' and girls ' baseball team. The party was on Valentine ' s Day after school in the music room. The homeroom group of room 106 consists of forty pupils under the supervision of Miss McHugh. At the beginning of the school year the following pupils were elected officers: President, Jack Lindberg; secretary. Jack Smith; Prism representative, James Dennis; assembly representative, Stuart Kasch; student council representative, Doris Punsky. At Thanksgiving and at Christmas we filled two baskets with food for needy families. James Dennis and Jack Smith delivered the baskets. A basketball team was organized under the leadership of Paul Zam. Regina Miller had charge of the girls ' activities. Students leading in scholastic honors are Doris Punsky, Carolyn Burkat, Wilma Carrothus, Betty Minke, and Jack Lindberg. Nine pupils have started payments on a season football ticket. Fifteen students have subscribed to the Annual and a number have subscribed to the Prism. The majority of pupils in our group are from McKinley and Whittier. Five of one group spent their Junior high years here at DeVilbiss High School. As a whole, we all co-operate with and for the good of the school.

[74 1 FRESHMEN This group of boys consists of forty-one students. We meet in M-1, under Mr. Merrill, the adviser. Among the class are several who are worthy of mention. Tay Herman acts as student council representative. Richard Cartwright is the Prism representative. Carl Noward and Vallie Dussia belong to the Aviation club. Richard Babcock and Kenneth Jones are members of the band. Further organization of the group has not been attempted except, that in an effort to improve scholastic standing, the class was divided into seven groups under captains and entered into a contest. Group captains are: James Dieter, Leo Halstead, Robert Link, Frank Fleming, Jack Holmes, Thomas Scott, and Roy Wenland. The contest is upon the following basis: MERITS A grade of A receives 5 points A grade of B receives 4 points A grade of C receives 3 points A grade of D receives 2 points A grade of E receives 1 point DEMERITS A grade of F receives points Disciphne-1 to 5 points LInsatisfactory -2 points Tardiness -1 point Truancj ' -5 points Mr. Shaw ' s freshman homeroom class is composed of forty pupils. It has taken part in all activities in which freshmen are interested and concerned. Harold Apger was chairman of the freshman assembly meeting on January 8, 1934. Bernard Ramey is chairman of the publicity committee. Betty Peart is publications ' representative, and the class is re- presented in the student council by Stewart Bray. Many students take part in the athletics of DeVilbiss. The lightweight basketball team has among its membei-s. Bill Luther and Bernard Ramey. Ned Thomure is a member of the track team. The girls are also interested in athletics. There are nine members in the Girls ' Athletic Society. All take part in the athletic events. The officers of the freshman class have Betty Peart as the vice-president from Room 153. Students who had all A and B grades are Stewart Bray and Howard May. Bernard Ramey, Ned Thomure, and John Fotheringham are members of the DeVilbiss High School Band. Wilham Landry is a reporter for the Sh op Chatter, a newspaper published by the shop. • Our home-room, advised bj- Mr. Siddall, has tried to enter into all activities. The affairs of this group of forty-one pupils are managed by Perry Kimerer, the student council representative, and Larry Wickter, our auditorium representative. When the grade cards were issued, three of our pupils Jack Good, Donald McGrew, and Marjorie Beard received all A ' s. We showed our school spirit by entering into activites. We gave to the needy at Thanksgiving time. We contributed to the Red Cross and school library. Two members, Henr ' Hopple and Clarice Potter, play in the orchestra; two, Jane ColHer and PhyUis Huntley, sing in the glee club; and James Ourand, plays in the band. Perry Kimerer was presented with a lightweight football letter, as were Larry Wickter, Jack Good, and Abner Martin. Several girls played in the girls ' basketball league. They are: Margaret Hardie, Phyllis Huntley, Lois Jordan, and Kathryn Anderson. Dorothy Boyde is captain. We boast of the only freshman columnist on the Prism staff. Harold Poneman writes the column entitled Freddie Freshman Tells Frosh Facts. We boast, too, of having the freshman class president, Abner Martin, in our group. 175 1 r r) i ni f n n Back Row: Donald Purse, Floyd Rasmusson, Robert Weber, George Lehman, Jack Root, Donald Rasmusson, Bernard Kalniz, Donald Clarke, Kurth McFarland.

[ 76 1 FRESHMEN Out of the fort.v students in our homeroom we chose the following officers: President — Robert Myers Vice-President — Donald Purse Secretary — Dick Bortner Treasurer — Marie George Publications ' Representative — Floyd Rasmusson Student Council Representative — Courtland Bell Courtland Bell served as a candidate for president of the freshman class and, although he was not elected, he received many of the freshmen votes. Elizabeth Miller and Donald Clarke were appointed on the freshman class art com- mittee. During the Red Cross Campaign our room held a contest to see which of the two teams could raise the larger amount. Dorothy Frick and Bob Willets were chosen as captains. Bob ' s team was ahead but on the last day Dorothy ' s team led by thirty-five cents. Bob Willet ' s team gave the party which was enjoyed by all. Since we succeeded in keeping the popcorn ofT the floor, our adviser promised that we might have another party soon. Our contest was fun as well as beneficial, for since we had contributed the third largest amount to be donated to the Red Cross, we each received a free ticket for the first basketball game of the season. We have a homeroom group of thirty enthusiastic girls. We have tried to choose the most responsible students to take care of our class activities. The following are officers: president, Doris Fish; vice-president, Shirley Allen; secretary, Helen Barrow; and treasurer, Wilma Lessentin. Our student council representative is Ester Broadway, a timid yet capable student. She has been doing her best to give us all the information she has received in the meetings. We have chosen a capable representative, Mary Mae Mutchler, for our school paper, the Prism. At Thanksgiving we decided to fix a basket for a family. A committee of three was appointed to take care of the food and also tell each girl what she was to bring. The com- mittee appointed was as follows: Helen Barrow, Doris Fish, and Joan Barrett. We all worked hard, and consecjuently our basket proved a great success. We had one basket and one large cardboard box, both of which were trimmed in black and orange crepe paper and were filled with good things to eat. It was later decided to give this same family a Christ- mas basket. The same committee took charge, and this basket proved a great success also. Miss Warner ' s homeroom has a group of thirty-nine freshmen. Our officers are Deloris Mae Stuart, chairman; Jay Faunce, treasurer; James Armstrong, student council representative; and Cathryn Fait, Prism representative. We are highly honored by having Phyllis Lee, of our home-room, secretary of the freshman class. Deloris Mae Stuart is a regular girl and the best of pals. Phyllis Lee and Forrest Chambers earn their success by studying. Bob Pohls ' disposition is hke his sunny smile. Virginia Kraus, and Ellen Byberg labor diligently. We all admire the gentleness of James Loucks, Harold Frutiger, Joseph Geisler, Dirl Fountain, and Chuck Housel. Neatness is a hobby with Barbara Tierney and Jeanne Schroeder. Carolyn Carlson, Eileen Gray, Helen Nuding, Jack Morse, Bill Walborn, and William LeVally are so quiet that we have to look back to see if they ' re still there. Paul Connolly, Thomas Durfy, Richard Henderson, Harry Wnorowski, and Bob Pohl ought to know that wise- crackers are not often dropped into soup. Ahce Weaver, Virginia Frost, Robert Aring, and Glen Jameson are little, yet looked up to. Always a gentleman is true of Charles Schaffner and James Armstrong. Marjorie Hubbard, Betty Deeds, Paul Johnson, William McLeach, and Jay Faunce have their share of pers onality. If variety is the spice of life, our home-room is well seasoned.

First Row: Harry Morell, James Gordon, Mr. Balsam, Walter Stark, Steve Molnar, Harlen Bernheisel. At the beginning of the school year, we might have been known as the DeVilbiss Orphans , for we had no definite homeroom. However, after a period of two weeks we were finally informed that the General shop was to be our permanent homeroom and Mr. Balsam our adviser. We found our assigned room rather an attractive place. Charts, plans and information concerning General Shop activities adorned the walls. In a corner, on a table were placed many educational books, magazines, and pamphlets pertaining to various subjects for study and reading. Our first meeting was in charge of our adviser, who presided until election and then turned the meeting over to Hal Crawford, president elect. At the same meeting Carl Haw- kins was elected vice-president; Walter Stark, secretary; and Steve Molner, treasurer. Carl Hawkins became student council representative and Harlen Bernheisel was made Prism representative. There are fifteen students in our homeroom and all the year, we have tried to contribute our bit to school hfe. Our plan has been to learn with the aid of our adviser. We have found Mr. Balsam more than willing to aid and guide us through the difficulties we have encountered. He also informs us on current topics, about which we should have some knowledge and understanding. Thus, we have found this allotted period of study, extremely helpful in preparing lessons for our various classes. [ 78 • 1 1 infl ACTITITIES [79] Activities? Yes, we have many activities in DeVilbiss to give the student the recreation, amusement, and variety which he desires. Dramatics, hterary societies, clubs, musical societies, and publications — all are here for the student ' s talent and en- joyment. Let it never be said that school life is a day by day drudge. The following pages ought to be proof enough. [80: f WINTER [81 Louis J. Mathias, Jr. The answer man. If any phrase will fit Louie this is it. Louie as you all know, is none other than that tall, lanky, sparkling personality, Louis J. Mathias, Jr. Our joking, serious Director of Activities has carved himself a place in everj body ' s heart. Being the school directory is his job; and does he know his DeVilbiss High School? Whatever you ask him he either has an answer for you, or he can refer you to someone or thing to get your desired information. His mind works fast enough to keep up with all the questions he is asked. Who has the music room for April 22? Would you put this announcement on the bulletin board? Would it be all right if we had a class meet- ing today? When is the next assembly program? Questions like these have not made the smile disappear from his radiant face. He has his hand in everything from directing and staging a stage review to teaching a chemistry class. To keep the student ' s mind off the daily routine of six classes a day is Mr. Mathias ' job. Due to his tireless, never-exhausting work, he has been entirely successful these three years. His height makes one think of his high ideals; his sparkling, observing eyes be- speak his keen wit; his lanky figure brings into mind the carefree attitude which is apparent at all times. By the way, his door is not marked Private . Get in touch with this guiding hand. Friend of all, enemy of none, that is Louis Mathias.

The Student Council was organized during the second week of the first term. Each of the seventy homerooms elected one student to represent it in the council. At the first meeting this group elected a president, Frank Oram. He, in turn, ap- pointed members of the council to serve as commissioners to take care of all student activities. A new commission, the commission of awards, was formed which will concern tho.se who are actively interested in extra-curricular activities. The principal purpose of this organization is to unify all student activities under one general control. Also, it helps to develop in the student a growing appreciation of membership in a democracy by providing the educative responsibilities of such a democracy in the school and to promote in all ways the best interests therein. The power to pass and enforce any rules necessary for the betterment of the school is vested in the council with the approval of the principal. All clubs and organizations receive their charters from the council and are dependent on the council ' s rulings. Any student activity is supervised by the council. The first duty of this organization was to arrange for the election of the officers of the various charters. Because the Pot 0 ' Gold staff had not yet been chosen, the council undertook the organizing of the annual campaign. A Book Week for the purpose of increasing the school library ' s collection of volumes was sponsored. The Justice Commission, with the assistance of Mr. Diller has established a police system b_v which recalcitrant students are apprehended. Clothing was also gathered for the benefit of needy students. Under consideration are various changes in the financial set-up of the student treasuries and we hope that some type of a budget system will soon be in effect. 185: THE PRISM Mary Hill Neil Kimerer Top Row: Dick Lehman, sports: Mason Baer, sports: Jamille Jamra, news: Basil Litten, ads: Clarence Hill, ads: Matthew Koeb, ads.

A courteous, well-organized student body, a flag for the band, and a paved and widened Upton Avenue are the three things that the Prisfn have carried on their program for the past year. These, although not ail accomplished, have set a goal toward which the staff has strived to reach. Among the fourteen copies of the Prism issued by the staff and journalism class there has been sufficient variety to please everyone. One issue planned particularly for the enjoyment of the seniors included the activities and biographical sketches of many class members. Another copy, edited by the English classes was published for its literary value. In addition to providing a place for the Prism in its various stages of development, the staff room contains many exchanges coming from all over the United States. Throughout the year the exchange was open to anyone interested. As there was no State contest this year and the results of the National contest came too late to be recorded here the Prism rests on last year ' s laurels. The paper, in 1933, won second class rating in the state contest and first class in the national. In addition to this routine, the Prism staff sponsored the DeVilbiss chapter of the Quill and Scroll, honorary journalistic society, into which ten charter members were inducted.

Pending a decision as to whether the Pot O ' Gold .should be compiled, the students had a late start on the annual. No plans had gone through until second semester, but with a co-operative and well organized staff the copy was produced in a com- paratively short time. The students had the book ready for print before spring vacation. It was decided that the student council undertake the annual as a major project for the year. This would be the most efficient and successful waj ' of putting the correct information concerning the Pot 0 ' Gold before the students. Subscriptions were secured through the student council representatives. An annual speaks of pictures and illustrations concerning activities of the school year. Surely no book could be more complete in its pictures. A photograph of every home-room, excepting senior groups, of many clubs and various activities will be found on the pages. Over five hundred individual senior pictures were taken. From a group of students recommended by English teachers and by personal application, the staff was selected. Most of the positions of editors and heads of the departments are held by experienced students in journalism. Mr. Nauts was in direct charge.

DeVilbiss Chapter of the National Honor Society was organized by our first graduating class in 1932. The members of our present chapter received this highest scholastic honor on May 15, 1933, when five per cent of the present senior class was chosen by the faculty. At this induction, senior speakers explained the four cardinal principles of the society: scholarship, leadership, service, and character. Dr. McCormick was the guest speaker. The second five per cent of the senior class was inducted on March 15, 1934. We were honored by having Dr. R. Lincoln Long as the speaker. Another induction was held in the spring for more of the seniors and the first of the junior class. On November 1, our society elected John Blanchard, president; Robert Dunn, vice-president; Emily Derr, secretary; and Mason Baer, treasurer. We have been very fortunate in having as our advisers, Miss Grace Kratz and Mr. S. B. Emery. Our leading project has been to stimulate interest in colleges and universities. A staff has been maintained in the college room to help students who wish information about colleges. The series of meetings, sponsored by our society, entitled Should I Go to College was led by professors of the University of Toledo. The speakers and their topics were: Dean Townsend, The Question of Money, Professor McClure, The Question of Brains, Dean Carter, The Question of Social Development, Professor Searles, The Question of Vocation, Professor Orians, Choosing the Right College. Aside from our educational activities we enjoyed a party at the home of Miss Kratz. Among our guests were Mr. and Mrs. Nauts and Mr. and Mrs. S. B. Emery with their son, Jerry. Mr. Nauts spoke, challenging us to a project beneficial to the school. We shone brilliantly on an intelligence test, and we also enjoj ed chess, checkers, anagrams, and table-croquet. After light refreshments had been served we went into the kitchen, where our president presided over the dishpan. The rest of us showed our skill in drying dishes.

Our undertakings this year have been varied and successful. Members sponsored annual book week by presenting an interesting program in the auditorium. AVe again presented an annual Christmas pageant which was v ery lovely. March 10th a bridge party was held in the LaSalle and Koch French room. In May, we honored the mothers of the girls with the annual Mothers ' tea. Our advisers, Mrs. Schwenke, Miss Marian Smith, and Miss Carrie Eger are to be credited greatly for what our Literary Society has accomplished. Perhaps the greatest achievement of the club is the friendship and warm feeling that has developed among our girls. 189] PHILALETHEAN SOCIETY Back Row: Catherine Clarke, Helen Hilton, Kathryn Sharps, Madelyn Moore, Mary Elizabetli tipencer, Betty Koos, c Betty Bullock, Holly Evans, Betty Lou Garwood, Betty Slee, Helen Hall, Betty Carver, Jennie Hargreaves, Margaret Camp-X bell.

The DeVilbiss members of this organization have earnestly attempted to uphold the standards for which it was founded. They planned a program for the entire year for the purpose of studying the work of modern writers. Among the poets studied were Robert Frost, the poet of rustic New England; Edna St. Vincent Millay, the foremost woman lyric poet; and John Masefield, the English ballad writer. Barbara Evans, Janet Edelen, Muriel Ecker, Kathryn Sharpe, Florence Van Cleve, Betty Bullock, and AHce Sprague were the girls on the program committee, each planning one program. Besides their cultural aims the Philaletheans are interested in doing something for the welfare of the school. Accordingly, they attempted to establish as an annual affair the basketball banquet which the girls of last year instituted. The banquet this year was held at the Collingwood Presbyterian Community House. Cooperation on the part of everyone under the direction of Ann G ifford, chairman, helped to make the evening an unusual success. The tables were beautifully decorated with dainty glassware, candles, and delicate flowers. Cards bearing the emblem of the society in silver, marked the places. Mr. Nauts, Dr. Lincoln Long, Mr. Rice and Mr. Wagner were the speakers. Mr. Pollman awarded the letters, and after the awards had been made the team elected Lewis Martin captain for next year. While aiming to improve intellectually and to contribute to the welfare of DeVil- biss, the Philaletheans have by no means neglected the social side. At Christmas time they gave a tea for the members of Libbey and Scott. In January a spread was held at the home of Margaret Lorenz. Toward the end of the year a Senior Tea was given in the home of Sylvia MacDermid, and the very last meeting was celebrated by a picnic at Galbraith Island.

This j ' ear the DeVilbiss chapter of the Zetalethean Literary Society with the helpful aid of its three advisers, Miss Pasch, Miss Garver, and Miss Miller, has offered a varied and interesting program for the amusement and education of its members. Its officers w-ere Ruth Anderson, president; Mary Margaret Thompson, vice-presi- dent; Grace Kiner, secretary; Margaret Jordan, treasurer; Geraldine Rudolph, chap- lain; Doris Babcock, sergeant-at-arms; and Ellen Wyatt, reporter. Mary Margaret Thompson was unable to serve the second semester because of her duties as com- missioner, so Ruth Washburn was elected vice-president. The year started off with a pot-luck dinner given at the home of Ruth Anderson. Following the dinner the new members of the Zets were inducted into the society. Included in the year ' s program was a Christmas tea given in the library enter- taining the Zetaletheans of all the Toledo High Schools. Jane Bell was chairman for this event which took place December fifteenth. On February sixth, a bridge w-as given in the Ottawa Park Shelter house. Ruth Washburn was chairman assisted by Kathr3 ' n Binding, Mary Ann McCord, and Helen Mason. Appropriate red hearts were the decorations for the Faculty and Mothers ' tea given on St. Valentine ' s day in the library. Dorothy Gilbert was chairman of arrange- ments, assisted by Dorothy Good, Hazel VonGoeben, Laura Stevens, and Lola Peart. With the advent of the new year, the Zetaletheans adopted Modern Books as their theme for nineteen thirty-four. These were presented in the form of talks, plays, reports, and discussions. At one of the meetings Miss Rose Bloom gave a charming talk on books and a review of Sinclair Lewis ' latest book ' Work of Art. The third annual combined literary society dance was one of the biggest events of the year as all the literary societies of the school combined to give this closed dance. It was in the DeVilbiss gym on March twenty-third and was arranged by the president and vice-president of each club.

The Delta Chapter of The Quill and Dagger Literary Society was founded at DeVilbiss High School on December 2, 1933. This organization, although it is new at DeVilbiss, has been in existence for several years at some of the other Toledo high schools. The purpose of our club is to develop fuller comradeship, and to promote better cooperation among our members. Also everyone in the organization is striving to gain a more complete understanding of literature. For entrance into the society a boy must be a member of the junior or senior class and must be receiving at least a C average in all of the subjects he is carrying. Standing committees have been chosen during the year to carry on the varied activities of the club. Through the fine cooperation of the members with these capable committees, the society has been able to undertake successfully the following events: A party which was given in honor of the Periclean Literarj ' Society; a comedy which was enacted for a Homeroom assemblj and, assisted by the other literary societies of the school, one of the outstanding dances of the year which was given in the school gymnasium. We have earnestly endeavored to carry out all requirements of the society and to make every member proud to belong to this chapter of the Q. D. We wish to extend appreciation to our adviser, Mr. Clyde Kiker, for the interest he has shown and help he has given in making our chapter of the Quill and Dagger a success. 92 SORELLE SOCIAL SOCIETY Second Row: Dorothy Peters, Bettie Jaj ' ne Parker, Sylvia Mr-Dermid, ' irginia Byrne.

Dorothy Gobrecht, Florence Buser, Delores Campbell. On the first and third Mondays of the month, the Sorelle Social Society meets at 7:30 P. M. in the home of the various members of the chib. During the past year the elected officers were: Mary Dickey, president; Josephine Patterson, vice-president; Helen Horner, secretary; and Jane Miller, treasurer. These girls were cho.sen at the first meeting which was held at the home of the adviser, Miss Rose L. Bloom. At Christmas time the group took over their first actlvitj and sponsored a note tree. Each student in DeVilbiss was eligible to write a letter to be hung on the tree, wrapped in bright shades of cellophane. For this affair Florence Buser was chairman. Assisting her was a committee including Marj Hill, Virginia Byrne, Eleanor Stitzer, vice-chairman; Bettie Jane Parker and Sylvia MacDermid. Next on the calendar was a Valentine box which brightened up the lol)by for a few days with its colorful trimmings. Dorothy Gobrecht was in charge of this event. After attending the Co-ed liall in a group as a colored family, on February 22, the Sorelle ' s gathered for a slumber party in the home of Delores Putz. A good time was had by all far, far, into the wee hours of the morning. In the month of February the group presented a program in the auditorium por- traying incidents of the lives of famous people who were born in February. Each girl in the society took part. Especiallj ' good were the scenes depicted b.y Jeanne Nooney, Betty Jane Eichner, Dolores Campbell, Betty Jo Reese, and Dorothy Lingo. On the afternoon of April 6, the Sorelle society presented an afternoon dance in the girls ' gymnasium. Florence Buser and Dorothy Gobrecht were co-chairmen for this affair. Assisting was a committee comprised of Mary Dickey, Dorothy Peters and Betty Lindsley. When spring came along, this ambitious group of twenty girls entertained with a mothers ' tea. This was held on a Sunday afternoon in the home of Miss Rose Bloom. Eleanor Stitzer was chairman of this event. Of all the affairs the latter was the most serene and colorful. It seemed to create not only a bond of friendship between the members and the esteemed advisers but also between the families that are responsible for the excellent meetings that are regularly attended.

President — Mason Baer Secretary — Curtis Nash Vice-President — Bob Dunn Treasurer — Jack Wright In the fall of 1931 a certain group of sophomore boys felt that they needed some help and encouragement from outside the school and organized the DeVilbiss Sopho- more Hi-Y which is now the Senior Hi-Y. Most of these charter members are still in our club which has grown considerably. In our junior year there were thirty registered members; this year there is a membership of forty boys who have pledged themselves to support the purpose of the Ki-Y Organization: To Create, maintain, and extend throughout the school and community the high standards of Christian character. Clean living, clean speech, clean athletics and high scholarship makes a meml)er of our club four square. Our club sets up a standard of membership, and any boj ' possessing these may join us. At our regular weekly meetings we have had speakers and discussions. We like very much to take part in school and class activities. Boys from our club ushered at the operetta and at the Silkini performance. At all the after school teas, Pli-Y boA ' s are there to help. Our club arranged a Vocational Guidance Banquet at which the junior and senior boys had a very good opportunity to converse with prominent men in the fields that the boys wanted to enter. Our boys attended regularly the Sunday afternoon Forums held during February. These Forums are sponsored jointly by the Hi-Y and the Friendship clubs. This year our social committee, under the able leadership of Dick Girkins, has planned and sponsored many social gatherings. In November we had a roast at Trilby; in December, a party at the Ottawa Park Shelter House; and in January, a splash party at the Y. Some of our boj s attended the annual Fli-Y conference at Wooster and brought back ideas and plans for our club. Through the experience and help of our advisers, Don Blackburn and Mr. Shaw, our club has become a strong, active, and cooperative group.

The purpose of the club is to create, maintain, and extend throughout the school and community a hig h standard of Christian character. On this purpose the club programs have been based. Many speakers have been invited to meetings, to talk about the problems that are of special interest to the members. Discussions have also played an important part in the club ' s program. Various social activities have been included in the year ' s activities, such as pot- luck suppers, splash parties, and wiener roasts. Sports have also been included on the program. The two teams entered in the city Hi-Y Tournament were the winners and runner-ups of the Junior clubs in the city. Teams playing in the intramural sports activities of the school made an excellent record. In an effort to help other boys in the school, the Junior Hi-Y has helped the senior club in promoting the Pre-Easter program, a religious program offered to all students of the school, and the Vocational Guidance Banquet, at which boys could interview prominent business men of our city in an attempt to learn more of vocations in which they were particularly interested. We feel these activities have done much to promote the idea of service, which we consider a vital part of our program. Many of the members are planning to attend the Hi-Y camp period held every year at Camp Storer, while several are going to the state camp at Drinkwater, Ohio. We feel fortunate in having so fine an adviser as Mr. Richard Drouard. To his fine leadership and untiring efforts we owe much of our success. We hope that next year will be the crowning point of our four years ' experience.

The Sophomore Hi-Y Chib was founded and organized in the middle of October, 1932, soon after the opening of school. Our first adviser was Jack Martin, graduate of Purdue University. He was assisted by Mr. Brown, well known DeVilbiss teacher. As business called Jack Martin out-of-town, he was replaced by Don Jackson, who has helped the club immensely in the past two months. A well-rounded program was led by Charles Morton, president; Bob Brand, vice-president; Bill Todd, secretary; and R. Vickroy Blackburn, treasurer. The purpose of the Hi-Y is to Create, m.aintain, and extend, throughout the school and community the high standards of Christian character. Our program chairman, Kenneth Myers, has done a fine job of rounding out a well balanced program for the year. The highlights of the year have centered on a steak roast at Metropolitan Park; a Hallowe ' en party given us by the Junior Friend- ship Ciub; a talk on baseball led by Norm Kies of the New York Yankees; a splash party given in honor of the Junior Friendship Club; a health talk and discussion by Dr. R. E. Brigham; a talk on the economic status of the Negro, led by Mr. Leo Marsh of the Indiana Y. M. C. A.; a discussion on World-Peace, aided by Mr. Chamberlin of Toledo University; and a talk by Coach Bob Rettig of Scott High School. An interesting program has been planned for the rest of the year. We have recently had a formal initiation inducting the new members of the club. Among the new members are Jim Par, Bob DeMuth, Dick Damm, Don Long and Bill Durand. Much of our success has been due to the tireless efforts of R. D. Doc Miller who has devoted most of his life to help boys realize the fulfilment of our purpose.

President — Frances Curtis Secretary — Ruth Lanwehr Vice President — Regina Watt Treasurer — Dorothy Shramm Adviser — Miss Pauline Payne This unique society was formed by a group of clever girls for the purpose of aiding the tall girl in cultivating poise, grace, and distinction; and for the purely social art of having a good time in a group. The Altae Puellae Society was organized for the first time at the beginning of the school year. It has proved an overwhelming success and has had a very active year. The society is chartered, has a written constitution, and has a closed membership of twenty-five. Eligibility requirements state that applicants must be five feet seven inches, or taller, in height. Starting their social season with a hilarious treasure hunt, which was capably planned by the social committee, the girls followed up with a fashionable luncheon and theater party during the Christmas holidays. At its Valentine meeting, the group enjoyed a party in honor of the newly inducted members. Perhaps the most outstanding work of the society was their performance in the DeVilbiss Deviltries on March 16. Ten members formed a chorus and presented an original song and dance routine, made very effective by their unusual costumes, which were designed by the president. In the week following that performance the Altaes, as they are popularly known, e nchanted the feminine student body with their charming style show, that they presented with the help of a prominent Toledo store. The eighteen models were junior and senior members of the society. Special mention is due the splendid work of the girls in raffling off a beautiful dress from this same store. The dress was pi ' esented to the luckj- holder of the correctly numbered ticket. The profits of this venture were turned into the general school fund. In further service to the school, members of the societj have ushered at various school functions. Meetings boast a brisk business session and always an interesting and varied program. Commenters have often remarked, It seems there is something doing every minute in that crowd. [97 1 SENIOR FRIENDSHIP CLUB Bach Row: Constance Beardniore.

Johnson, Grace Black- The DeVilbiss chapter of the Senior Friendship club was founded in the fall of 1931, by a group of junior girls. The purpose is to find and give the best and to establish a feeling of friendship between the girls. The club does not have any ehgibility requirements except that the girls must be juniors or seniors. They should be members of the Y.W.C.A., although membership in that organization is not a stated requirement. The officers for the j ' ear are: Grace Blackburn, president; Ruth Hartman, vice- president; Dorothy Gobrecht, secretary; Ardith Baillie, corresponding secretary; Jeanne Drager, treasurer; Regina Watt, chaplain; Marjorie Sussman, sergeant-at- arras; and Alice Eversole, reporter. Miss Elizabeth Johnson is our adviser. To carry out our purpose of finding and giving the best, we gave a Christmas and an Easter party for the boys and girls of the Miami Orphan ' s Home. Janet. Edelen and Betty Curdes had charge of the parties. To establish a feeling of friend- ship, we gave a splash partj for girls with Dorothy Gobrecht as chairman. An after- noon dance was arranged by Margaret Jordan and her committee. Lois Kohler and her committee made the arrangements for the tea, which was given for the women of the faculty and the mothers of our club members. The Senior H i-Y and the Junior Hi-Y were guests at a party given by the club. A roast, arranged by Ruth Lamson, was held as a climax to the year ' s social activities. On the evening of March 21, an inter-city banquet was held at which many mem- bers of the DeVilbiss Senior Friendship Club attended and also took part in the pro- gram. The honor of having the president of the inter-city council of the Friendship club is again brought to DeVilbiss with Mary Hill acting in that capacity. This position was held by Annette AVarnke last year. ! 98 JUNIOR FRIENDSHIP CLUB Top Row: June Harrod.

In order to live up to their highest ideals they have a code, a slogan, and a purpose, which represent the highest aims in life. This year it has been their policy to have one outstanding event every month. In October, the club started out with a H allowe ' en party at which the Sophomore Hi-Y boys were guests. The club entertained the Junior Friendship Club of Scott High School in November. Christmas caroling was the event for December. Also in December the Senior Friendship Club entertained the club with a Christmas party. In January the members were the guests of the Sophomore Hi-Y Club at a splash party. Honoring the mothers of the Friendship Club girls, a mothers ' tea was held in February. A spread was also given at the home of Kathryn Sharpe, president. Through its social activities, the club offers its members an opportunity to really know each other better. However numerous their social events have been, they have not forgotten their share of helping others. At Thanksgiving and Christmas time, baskets were prepared for the needy. It is their hope that in the very near future thej ' may visit the Old Ladies ' Home and bring some cheer and happiness to them. The social functions, however, have not drawn from the interest of the regular meetings. Betty Jo Reese, program chairman, has been instrumental in planning interesting and enjoyable meetings. Several guest speakers have given constructive talks. The study of foreign countries and customs has proved interesting and educational. [99] PLAYSHOP Top Row: Howard Fenton.

Virginia Wiggins, Patricia Searight, ' irginia Miller, Miss Eger, Harry Shertinger, Ruth Landwehr, Grace Kiner, Ruth Anderson, The Playshop was founded in 1932 as an outgrowth of the first oral expression class. At this time the Honorary Dramatic Society was organized for members of the club who had spent a certain number of hours in some dramatic activity. This honorary organization is now a member of the National Thespians, a National dramatic honor society for high schools. Requirements of the Playshop are: an average grade of C and the written approval of two teachers. The purpose of this club is to hold together in one or- ganized group members of the oral expression classes and all other persons interested • n the production of plays and the study of dramatic work. The officers are: president, Harry Shertinger; vice-president, Ruth Landwehr; secretary ' , Virginia Jane Miller; treasurer, Ruth Anderson. Miss Carrie Eger is the club adviser and director of plays. Committees and chairman are as follows: program calendar, Grace Kiner; permanent stage crew. Jay Lutz and Thad Moore; electrician, Karl Starks; properties, Virginia Miller; stage properties, Harry Shertinger; Ward- robe, Mary Ann McCord; business, Ruth Landwehr; publicity, Ruth Hartman; make up, William Switzer; house manager, Robert Dugdale and Howard Fenton The activities are the production of the junior and senior class plays and several one-act plays. Before a play is produced a miniature stage set is built by a member of the club and is then used as the model stage set for the play. The technical side consists of the building and painting of flats, the planning of the correct lighting system, the designing of costumes, and the publicity. This year the Playshop, under the direction of Miss Eger, has presented the junior class play, Seventeen , and the Senior class play, The Roj ' al Family of Broadway. 1100 SOCIETAS AMICITIAE Back Row: Bernice Berg, Charlene Rapparlie.

The Societas Amicitiae was organized in October of 1933 with a membership of twenty-three, under the advisership of Miss Iva Guire. Societas Amicitiae means the societj ' or bond of friendship. The second hour business Enghsh class, reaUzing that their EngHsh work must essentially consist of grammar and correspondence and being ambitious for further knowledge of literature, decided that a way to realize such ambitions was through the organization of a club. In organizing, the club chose to limit the membership to their own class hoping that by so doing the same fine spirit of co-operation might be maintained that existed in the class. The purpose of the society is to study playwrights, their plays, and th e art of dramatization. The following officers were elected: Bella Horwitz, president; Lucille Brown, vice-president; Eva Wilmore, secretary; Geraldine Kennedy, treasurer; Daythol Holt, publicity chairman; and Venita Jones, entertainment chairman. The society meets the first and third Tuesday of the month after the dismissal of classes. On the evening of November twenty-eight a social meeting was held in the home of Bella Horwitz, the president. A pot-luck dinner was served. After the dinner the playlet Sing a Song of Seniors was given. Geraldine Kennedy appeared as Jane Raj ' , Ruth Merce as Barbara, Eva Wilmore as Miss Romney, Lucille Brown as Constance, Bernice Berg as Cecile, Dorothy Knauss as Mrs. Cole, and Bella Hor- witz as Peggy. A second meeting was enjoyed on March second when Geraldine Kennedy, the treasurer, entertained the group at her home on Watson Drive. The society hopes to present a playlet to the student body before closing their activities for the term. 101 JUNIOR RED CROSS Back Roir: ' irginia Hill, June Falke, Florence Petersen, Eli; Violet Shuff. - niith, Margaret Diener, Beatrice Bertwhistle, Front Row: Miss Van Noorden, Charlene Rapparlie, Bella Horwitz, Dorothy Coontz, Lucille Egan, Venita Jones, Esther Bruner, Eva Wilmore, Miss Miller. Our Junior Red Cross Club dates its origin to the first year of DeVilbiss. It was organized so that students who had taken part in this work might continue until such a time as they would be old enough for adult membership. The aims of the Club are service, the promotion of health and friendliness, and the bringing of cheer to the sick and handicapped. The Club has been busj trying to carry out all of these aims. During the first two years a definite health program was carried on in the form o f lessons in home- nursing. The instructions were given by members who were also enrolled in the home- nursing classes. During the past two years the Toledo National Red Cross was extremely busy making garments for the needy. Our club did its part by making a large number of dresses, rompers, and baby garments. A less ambitious sewing program was carried on for Toledo Hospital. Every holiday, attractive gifts and favors are made for the less fortunate folks in hospitals and other institutions. Another part of the Club ' s work consists of visiting institutions of our cit} The high spot in our visiting was a trip to Toledo Hospital where we had the privilege of inspecting the building. After our tour of inspection we were most graciously enter- tained at tea by the superintendent of nurses and some of her students. The Club also corresponds with the Junior Red Cross of Goshi School in Gumma, Japan. This is done to promote friendliness among children of different nations with the hope that a better understanding of our fellowmen will be the result. The advisers of the Club are Miss D. VanNoorden and Miss F. Miller. The officers are: Dorothy Coontz, president; Esther Brunner, vice-president; Lucille Egan, secre- tar} ' ; and Venita Jones, treasurer. Perhaps our readers may think we are entirely unselfish. We really are not, as occasionally we celebrate at a meeting and have a social time around the tea-table. 102 1 LA JUNTA ESPANOLA Back Row: Gordon Southard, George Bova, Thomas Grimes, Jack Douglas, Roland Morris.

The officers of the chib are: Lorraine Coombs, president; Richard Baldwin, vice-presi- dent; Dorothy Shelley, corresponding secretary; George Schaiberger, treasurer; and Robert St. John, sergeant-at-arms. Miss Pauline Payne and Mr. Russel Brown are advisers. The purpose of the club is to help familiarize the members with the culture and civihzation of Spain and Latin Am.erica. To promote this, many members are cor- responding with students in Spanish countries. At the m.eetings, which are held in the homes of the members, very interesting programs are given. Among the prominent men and women of Toledo who spoke to the members during the past year are: Mrs. Floripe, Mr. Erausquin, Mr. Grimm, the Mexican consul, Professor Moline, Pi-ofessor Neal, and Mr. Vallet. The club was proud to have its boys ' basketball team win the intramurals for this year. [ 103 1 BOYS QUARTETTE Top Row: Paul Kirkendall, Harold Ransuni, Dick Windsor. Ben Shelly, Alvin Birch, Bill .Switzer, Gene Smith. Front Row: Edwin Kibler, Dick Baldwin, Walter Aring, Jack Merrill, Robert Bauer, Thad Moore, Herman ' anSickle Bernard Kalnig. Through suggestions from various sources and through an often felt need, a boys ' chorus was organized and has appeared on several occasions where music was needed. In December of 1933 about ten boys met and started practice on a few songs which were given in four parts: first tenor, second tenor, baritone, and bass. Thus the name Quartette has held its place even though more than four persons now sing these four parts. Boys with passing grades, who read music fairljr well, who have an interest to learn, and who have fair voices are eligible. The group hopes to create a better under- standing and appreciation of music in general, to become acquainted with better music as arranged for male voices, to learn to follow the baton of a director and to learn to sing in public in an acceptable manner. Preceding the Christmas holidays, the Quartette sang carols near the Christmas trees in the halls and hbrary. It appeared at the DeVilbiss Parent-Teachers ' Assoc- iation as part of a program and it also sang for one of the school ' s assemblies. One of the big features of the DeViltries was the singing of the boys. Miss Jane Kidney, as director of the Quartette developed some very fine choral work which arou.sed much favorable comment. The success of the first year is largely due to the fine musical ability of the director and to the co-operation and work of the members. About twenty boys are now in the Quartette , and any boys interested may apply for membership. The future for such an organization holds unhmited promise. It is hoped that DeVilbiss will some day have a group which will rank high in this field and which will become just as well known as some of the various other types of activities at our school. Members are: Walter Aring, Dick Baldwin, Robert Bauer, Alvin Burch, Bernard Kalnig, Ed Kibler, Paul Kirkendall, Jack Merrill, Thad Moore Jr., Dorr Myers, Harold Ransom, Harry Schertinger, Benny Shelly, Gene Smith, WilHam Switzer, Herman VanSickle, Jack Willets and Dick Windsor.

He is assisted by Margaret Lorenz, secretary; Florence Shepherd, treasurer; Harold Frisk, business manager; and Lucille Binns, assistant business manager. The librarians are Dick Greraling and Lucille Binns. Miss Bessie Werum is the very capable adviser and director. This large group of students is one of the most active organizations in the school. On November 10, 1933, the second annual Tiger Tango was given in the girls ' gym- nasium. On December 15, the orchestra assisted the glee club in the presentation of the attractive operetta, Oh, Doctor! Each year it is the custom of the orchestra to present a public concert to give the parents and interested friends of the members an opportunity to hear these musi- cians play the numbers which they have studied during the first semester. This year the concert was held on the evening of January 18, in the school auditorium. Solo numbers were also presented by members of the orchestra. On Sunday, March 11, selections from this group of numbers were played in the beautiful peristyle of the Museum of Art. The orchestra has also played at several student assemblies, the most important of which were the Armistice Daj ' program and Honor Society assemblj on March 15. In April the orchestra again assisted the Glee Club by furnishing the accompani- ment for the operetta In Old Vienna. The final public appearance of the year was the participation in the Annual Spring Music Festival with the combined high-school orchestras, bands, and glee clubs. This was held on May 27 in Scott stadium. 106 BAND Top Row: Charles Malley, Don Flory, Glen Seagert.

The only requirements are a funda- mental knowledge of music and the ability to play a wind or percussion instrument. Every spring the band gives a concert in the school auditorium and participated in the Toledo Blades ' May Festival, which is a concert given by the musical de- partments of the combined high schools. It also provides entertainment and spirit at the football and basketball games. The band is very grateful to Mr. Henry Page for the very attractive uniforms, which he so generously donated to our school. This year our organization has functioned under the following officers: president, John Mohn; student director, John Stewart; vice-president, Alvin Burch; Secretary- treasurer, Ailene Cooper. This fall for the first time the band played a new pep song. The words were written by Mr. Harry Simon, a friend of Mr. Sutphen. The music is from the Princeton Cannon song. The band has a verj- good instrumentation as is shown below.

Three years ago the Girls ' Athletic Society made its appearance at DeVilbiss, with the purpose of promoting an adequate program of athletics for all gins of DeVilbiss. Every girl working for an athletic award is a member of the G ' rls ' Athletic Society. A second chapter, the Letter Girls ' ' consists of those girls who have already received their awards. Dorothy Peters leads the society as its president, while the remaining officers are: vice-president, Zella Mathes; secretary, Estelle Walendzak; and treasurer, Bett} Hartman. Miss S3 bil Ramsa} and Miss Elsie Gottshall are the capable advisers. The Football Banquet starts the club activities during the school year. This is followed by the Alumni Party and Coed Ball. Later in the year, the Letter Chapter gives a party for its new members. The society hopes to be as successful in the future as it has been in the past, f 109 ] CLUBS The DeVILBISS DEBATING SO- CIETY, which was organized during the second semester of the school year, 1932-33, is passing through a successful year. Under the present officers, Robert Dunn, president; Josephine Patterson, vice-presi- dent; Julie Palm, secretary; Mason Baer, treasurer; and our advisers, Miss Kratz and Miss Bloom, a great deal of progress has been made. We have had several intra- societ.y debates, and if our plans are carried through, we are looking forward to an intra-city high school debating league, to be directed under the auspices of the Universitv of Toledo. The MUSEUM CLUB was founded in 1932 and requires an interest in the activities and a regular attendance are the require- ments. It is the purpose of the club to develop an outside interest in Biology. The officers of the club are: Francis Christmas, president; Robert Lytton, vice- president; Ira Campbell, secret arj ' -trea- surer; Jean Purves, program chairman; Ruth Roulet, publicity chairman. Miss Severens and Miss Brown are advisers. Mr. Fleckinger from the Walbridge Zoological Society demonstrated the proper way to prepare and stuff a bird skin. A trip through the Universitj ' laboratories and a trip to the observatory were both interesting and educational for all. Field trips to study birds, trees, and flowers were also enjo,ved by the members. The GERMAN CLUB was organized in the fall of 1931, under the leadership of Miss Alice Gerding. The officers are Carl Smith, president; Henrj Ahrens, vice-president; Phyllis Herzberg, secretary; and John Bergman, treasurer. The club held an initiation party, a Christmas party, and a picnic. They also filled a Thanksgiving basket for a needy German family and conducted the singing of German Christmas carols at a Christmas program arranged for the parents. One fine thing thej ' did for the school was to sponsor the presentation of the German musical comedv film, Zwei Herzen. The LITTLE THEATRE GUILD was organized in nineteen thirty-one, the open- ing year of DeVilbiss High School. The officers of the organization are: president, Crosby Keller; vice-president, AVillette Price; and secretary-treasurer, Dorothy Ash. Miss Marian Smith is adviser. This last year has been a busy one. Grandma ' s Christmas was produced for the P. T. A. and for two regular student assemblies at Christmas time. Later in the year The Brink of Silence , Sub- merged , Juhet and Romeo , Alice ' s Blue Gown , and The Real Gloria were presented. The MARIONETTE CLUB was organized in September, 1931, for the pur- pose of giving marionette plays and puppet shows. The members of the club must be able to manipulate dolls and compose and speak the lines of the Marionettes. The officers of the club- are: Clarence Hill, president; Mary Jane Lutz, vice- president; Shanna Blough, secretary; Robert Mclntyre, treasurer; and Walter Rosenbery, manager. Miss Ruth Smith is the adviser. In the past year the club has given a number of Marionette Plaj-s and Puppet Shows, the most important of which were the performances given at the First Con- gretional Church, Central M. E. Church, and Whittier School. The club closed its very succes.sful year with the marionette play entitled, The Maid Who Wouldn ' t Be Proper. The CONSERVATORY CLUB was founded in October, 1934, for the double purpose of teaching each other ever.y- thing we know about greenhouse work and trying to make money for the school fund. The officers are as follows: presi- dent, Eugene Warren; vice-president, Eleanor Harvey; secretarj ' , Ruth Vance; treasurer, Lysbeth Jeanne Rood. Other members are Nelda May and Edith Falke. Mrs. Shaiimi is the adviser. f 110] CLUBS The DeVILBISS AVIATION SO- CIETY was founded October, 1932. President, Ray McFarland, Vice-Pres., Richard Windsor; Secretary, Lloyd Hine; Treasurer, Stanley Bassett; Athletic Mgr., Junior Steuce; Serg. - at - Arms, Wendell Farvis. The requirements are an interest and desire to increase one ' s knowledge of avia- tion. The purpose is to encourage an interest in aviation in DeVilbiss High School and to develop the art of model building and to gather together the airplane model builders in order to hold various activities of inter- est. These include flying and scale model contests, motion pictures of aeronautical interest, and talks given by members of the club. This year the club elected as advi.ser, Mr. P. B. Hartman, teacher of aeronautics at DeVilbiss High School. At the opening of DeVilbiss High School, 1931, the INTERNATIONAL RELA- TIONS ' CLUB received its charter. The adviser is Mr. Pasquier and the officers are: Jeanne Drager, president; Mavis Perry, vice-president; and Lorraine Coombs, sec- retary-treasurer. Their meetings consist largely of the reading of letters received from other countries, the discussion of their school and social life, and our relations with other nations. The annual broadcast through the courtesy of WSPD is an important event of the year and is given on Good Will Day, May IS. During the last three years this broadcast has been given in English, French, Spanish, and German. The or- ganization also has the honor of being recognized by the League of Nations at Geneva, Switzerland. The RADIO CLUB was founded on October 5, 1932. The officers of this club are: president, Herbert Chambers; secretary, Warren Madigan; treasurer, Arthur LHmer, Jr. Talks on radio and discussions of radio troubles and the discoveries made by the members constitute the program for the meetings; 111 The HORSE-BACK RIDING CLUB was organized in the spring of 1932 for students having a love of horses and a desire to learn to ride. The officers of the club are: Lotus Beckert, president; Eugene Hooper, vice- president; and Jeanne Drager, secretarj ' - treasurer. The adviser is Pierre Q. Pas- quier. At their meetings the members learn to understand horses and to develop good habits of posture in riding. They have weekly rides on Saturdays, the girls riding in the morning and the boys riding in the afternoon. This division is due to the small number of horses available. The DeVILBISS TORCH CLUB was founded in September, 1931, for freshman boys. The officers chosen were: president, Larry Wickter; vice-president, Abner Mar- tin; secretary, Jim Mumford; and treasurer, Arden Walker. Mr. S. B. Emery has proved to be a ver.y capable and helpful adviser. Chairmen for the various activities are: Keith AVilson, social committee; Bob Myers, joint-meeting chairman; Carl Myer, pre-Easter meeting; and Jack Pry, Em- blem. The HOME ECONOMICS CLUB of DeVilbiss High School was organized in the fall of 1932. Its membership is open to all girls who have been enrolled in the Home Economics Department. The object of the club is to form a connecting link between the home and the school; to train young women to be active and efficient leaders in home and community life; and to furnish an opportunity through organization for social life, such as pro- grams, social gatherings, and picnics. The officers of the club for the year 1933-34 are: president, Alice Church; vice-pres., Jeannette Koons; secretary, Dorothy Johnson; treasurer, Geraldine Goetting. The advisers for the club are: Miss Marie Stoll, Mrs. Marie VanOoster- haut Pollard, Miss Ellen Ashlej ' , Miss B. Faye Miller. .Ai: sx% n c t De Vilbiss Deviltries mid - season draduates De Vilbrss ' Deviltries open house trophi) case speeo HoqJle tftese picnics!

The presi- dent, George Chakarian, has taken a personal interest in the association. The other officers who have assisted in making the alumni important are Dean St. Claire, vice- president; Jane Sullivan, recording secretary; Virginia Damm, corresponding secretary; Philip Bova, treasurer. The organization has given three successful dances including the Military Ball in honor of the Culver football team. They honored the faculties of DeVilbiss High School and Toledo University at a tea in the school library. They challenged the varsity basketball team, and showed their good sportsmanship as losers. And as a climax to their social events they presented the charming play Lady AVindemere ' s Fan, which was directed by Miss Carrie Eger and Luetta Wade. Perhaps the greatest benefit to the seniors themselves was the educational program this group sponsored. Among the lectures was the University of Toledo Program, and a series of talks for the art classes. All of these things have made the alumni more vital to our school life. In Memoriam Mary Louise Nedvidek [114] AIHLEIIU 115 1 In the earh ' fall it is cross country; football lasts until Thanksgiving, giving way to basketball, which stays with us until about the first of March. Then track enters its period of reign, closely followed by base- ball. This sketch rounds out the principal athletic program of DcVilbiss High School. Boxing, wrestling, our newly organized swimming, and other activities fill in the hollow places of our program. [116] OUR PROSPECTS • - ' : :-«f - ■« i ' , ■ Jfff - ?5 sfe 5s ; ; vgsfe55s - a« Proposed DeVilbiss Stadium Through the co-operation of the C. W. A. and the Board of Education, the future Tiger teams have been assured of a fine stadium in which to carry on their athletic contests and have a fine background for their rapidly increasing athletic prowess. In the latter part of February the contract was let to the Watts-Suhrbier Co., a local concei-n, and work was started immediatelj ' . The completed project is supposed to be ready, floodhghts and all, by the opening of the football season, ne.xt fall. Is DeVilbiss making athletic progress? Most assuredly. When Ed LeGant leads the Tiger eleven onto the new gridiron Septemljer 14, against Point Place, DeVilbiss will be entering a new era in athletics. Through the season everyone wishes Coaches Rice and AVagner and Captain Le Gant, the happiest of playing days in their fine new home. And, in the years to come it is an expressed and common desire that the fine monument three years of DeVilbiss athletics has left to the progress of sportsmanship will be worthj- of the boys that go out there to win for DeVilbiss. The compilation of ne.xt year ' s schedule is nearly completed by Athletic Director Norm Pollman and is as follows: Sept. 14 Point Place, here Sept. 29 Scott, there Oct. 12 open Oct. 27 Woodward, there Nov. 10 Central, there Sept. 21 Defiance, here Oct. 5 Waite, here Oct. 19 Canton McKinley, there Nov. 3 Open Nov. 17 Springfield, here Nov. 29 Libbey, here The graduating class of 34 together with that of 33 believe that they have built up a fine school spirit and many immortal traditions. It is our hope they will enjoy new and greater achievements in their new environ- ment. [117; Norm Pollman Top Row: Mr. Mathias, Mr. Swisher, Mr. Hallauer.

The Tiger Cubs of last fall met some pretty stiff competition, and while their record does not show so well, it really means much more than one would observe. Under the tutelage of Don Sharpe and Norm Ivies, several boj ' s of high caliber were developed for next year ' s varsity. 1933 Lightweight Football scores: DeVilbiss 7 DeVilbiss 13 DeVilbiss 12 DeVilbiss 19 DeVilbiss 6 DeVilbiss DeVilbiss 14 Liberty Center 20 Scott Waite 14 Swanton 7 Central 7 Libbey 7 Woodward The Lightweights had some very interesting games as the scores indicate. Not only has the varsity a tense rivahy with Libbey, but the Cubs too are fired with this spirit. Having won the championship from the Cowboys the j-ear previous on a referee ' s decision in a scoreless tie, the South Side j-oungsters came over and managed to score a lone touchdown which downed the Cubs in one of the most interesting tilts on the DeVilbiss gridiron last fall. The boys who bore the brunt of the Cub attack were Joe Gee, Bertwistle, and Bennett. 121 FOOTBALL GAMES Starting the season with a comparatively green eleven, Harry Rice brought his grid warriors through a successful year. In winning their first three games, the Tigers acted like a ball club and proved it in the fourth tilt. Point Place and Gibsonburg were subjugated easily, and then a brilliant pass defense broke up the Scott aerial attack, and DeVilbiss was victorious in their third game which was played under the Swayne Field arcs to a large crowd. The Orange and Black warriors then packed their moleskins for an invasion of the East Side. With the largest attendance of the season cheering them on the two elevens fought gallantly for over three scoreless quarters. Then Red Snider, who spelled defeat for many teams this year, booted one that rolled out on the one-foot line. Encouraged by this tremendous advantage, the Indians pushed across a tally. The Tigers came back fighting and penetrated the Waite 16-j ard line where a sky attack led by Lou Martin was finally repulsed. Critics and sport writers unanimously ac- claimed this as the greatest high school game they had ever seen. [122] FOOTBALL GAMES The season progressed in successful style with victories over Woodward, Culver, and a sloppy defeat at the hands o f Central. Here the Upton Avenue lads went down-state to engage the champion Springfield gridders in battle. The DeVilbiss boys, heavily the underdogs, earned the distinction of being the only team all season to score upon, and lead at any part of the fray, the title-holders. This fact aroused the enthusiasm of the home town and a riotous recep- tion followed, with fists and even billy-clubs flying. To climax their hard schedule the Tigers engaged in a spirited imbroglio at Libbey Stadium on Thanksgiving Day. This tradition-making Turkey Day struggle was well attended and hard fought, the Cowboys emerging victorious after a fierce tilt. This fracas brought to a close the third chapter in DeVilbiss High School football history. The next chapter will be played under a new environment; namely, Henry A. Page Stadium.

Three boys brought the highest athletic honor in a single sport thus far gained to the school. Besides defeating Scott by IJ in the thrilling city meet the Tiger thinlies piled up an impressive record. Defeating Waite and Libbey in indoor meets by huge margins, the trackers went outdoors to defeat Waite and Libbey, take second to Lakewood in the T. LT. Invitational meet. Going into a bit tougher com- petition Pollman ' s lads took third in the Ohio Wesleyan Relaj ' s and third in the Mans- field Relays with seventy outstanding teams competing. Captain Don Reilly took first place in the mile run at the state meet, where DeVilbiss placed sixth, and then Reilly went to the national meet in Chicago and captured third place in his event. The boj ' s responsible for bringing to DeVilbiss its first city championship were Captain Reilley with a first in the mile: Wendell Cook, first in the 220-yard dash; Earl Fisher, first in the half mile; Paul Georgion, first in the 120-yard high hurdles; and the mile relaj ' captured first place in that went. Other of the boj ' s taking points were Hamhn Tanner, William Wj-att, Fred DeShetler, Don Smothers, Don Fercival, the half-mile relay team, Dave Heinle, Willard Meyers, Kerb Boyer. These boys represent one of the major steps towards DeVilbiss athletic progress, and we hope that future teams will stay at or near the top. 127] SWIMMING AND CROSS COUNTRY Back Roiv: Ralph Wickter, Bill Philo, Mason Baer.

SWIMMING DeVilbiss ' first year in tank competition was very successful. In co-operation with the Y. M. C. A. the natators developed until they were a real threat. Losing only two men by graduation, the mermen can look for a successful season next year. CROSS COUNTRY With Coach Pollman as their mentor, the harriers met with fine success this last year in both dual and larger meets. Individual performance was led by Bob Dimon, district champ.

Handicapped by inclement weather for the greater part of the season the Tiger netmen found difficulty in playing their scheduled matches. However the DeVilbiss racquet wielders looked very impressive in the four matches Old Mother Nature allowed them to get in. The boys were off in the district tourney because of lack of ample time for practice. Nevertheless the tennis men captured three of their four meets. Under the fine tutelage of Coach Ralph Swisher, the DeVilbiss hnks squad made fine progress and after a strenuous season found themselves runner-up to the exceptionally strong Libbey team in both the city and district standings. This was an outstanding record as the city competition was tough last year. The team lost but two dual matches the entire season while they were victorious in eight. [ 129] BOYS ' INTRA-MURALS Keeping step with varsity athletics, the intra-mural department enjoyed a very success- ful year, with between three and four hundred boys taking part in the program. Included among the various sports in which the fellows participated were cross-country, hand-ball, volley ball, shufHeboard, basketball, and track. Basketball, as usual, drew the largest turnout. Divided into three leagues in order to provide ample playing facilities for all, the teams entered into a very keen and spirited com- petition. In the championship cage tilt, the Spanish Club overcame a big lead, and in the last quarter started to swish the ball through the nets to eke out a 13-11 victory over 254, the homeroom champions. By winning this engagement the seniors earned the right to meet the faculty. This proved to be a very interesting imbroglio until Lars Wagner got hot and shed his shin guards, chest protector, and mask and began to score points and lead the good brothers on the teaching staff to victory over the battered and bruised Spaniards. In winning the championship the Spanish Club took possession of first place and has not yielded it yet. Individually, Dick Lehman leads Bob St. John and Marshall Wiggins by a scant margin of points. Lehman placed in the golf tourney as well as being a member of the championship cage five. The response intra-murals received this year was highly encouraging to the athletic officials and they intend to carry the intra-school activities more extensively than ever next year. The many new facilities offered by the new athletic setup at DeVilbiss will help to m.ake this possible. The new equipment also provides a chance for greater diversity of program. Largely responsible for the success of the intra-murals this year were Jim McKinley, Don Sharpe, both of the Physical Education Staff, and Mason Baer, student manager. The program, of course, could not have achieved its high standard had it not been for the whole-hearted cooperation of Lars Wagner and Norm Poll man, and finally the splendid support and fine spirit of the boys participating.

The fact that all the intra-mural games took place after school reveals clearly that the modern girl believes in indulging in sports along with social activities, as all classes were exceedingly large. In addition to the rightly organized intramural schedules, Miss Ramsey and Miss Gottschall arranged well-balanced gym periods for all classes. Throughout the winter the classes were taken by halves and rotating tap and basketball between them the hours in the gym seemed a delight to all the girls. What fun! Yes, that ' s what girls exclaimed all through the year. Portrayed in every game was a spirit of good sportsmanship as well as a love for the game. Showing all their vim, vigor, and vitality, the girls worked hard in order to place their team in good standing and win a title for the noble squad leader. Taking charge of all the dancing acts in the DeVilbiss Deviltries, which took place on March 16, and Open House was another job that engaged the time of the active instructors. One of the outstanding pastimes taught this year as well as in former years was tap danc- ing. Petite Miss Gottschall handled most the classes as she speciahzes in tap. To everyone, the dances that were taught during the past semester seemed just as cute as they were clever. The girls in the advanced tap classes which met after school learned some very attractive dances also. Ask a few girls such as Jean Capron, Evelyn Bedee; Annabelle Peterson and a few others who were rather active in this group. Those in this class were given more complicated steps to the dances than the regular classes had. Also, there were classes in beginners ' tap given after 2:30. Miss Jane Kidney accompanied all classes in tap. Introduced this past year as the newest girls ' sport in which DeVilbiss was to have a team was swimming. More than 75 girls turned out on the first day an announcement was given. After the semester dues were paid, however, and tank suits were bought the list was eventually cut down to the point when one found such names as Florence Buser, Marianne Emmel, and Katherine Buehler, topping the list. Lessons were given to 30 selected girls from our school at Scott high on Wednesday nights from 3:30 to 4:30. Next on the intra-mural schedules is bowling. Bowling has developed into a popular sport for girls. It was taught each Wednesday afternoon in the Music Room! Using medicine balls and Indian Clubs instead of the customary regulation balls and ten pins, the girls got along splendidlj ' . About 30 girls reported each class period. After the art of scoring had been mastered, Miss Whitlock who was in charge, took the group to a bowhng alley. Of course this is a real test of their ability as bowlers. Some of the girls have surprised themselves by the good scores they have rolled. Evelyn (Skip) Sheeley and Lucille (Pee Wee) Binns are hailed as our future champions! Did you notice the fair archers on the green that adorned the DeVilbiss campus throughout the year? Archery was offered as an individual sport all through the winter. Those girls who are hardy enough to withstand the icy blasts that swept across the athletic field became very proficient with the bow and arrow. A few of the most eminent archers are Mary Dickey, Lola Peart, and Jeanne Drager. The classes have made a new cover for the target, and proof of their skill and accuracy lies in the fact that this one is beginning to resemble a well worn .seam! 131 ] GIRLS ' SPORTS The Intra-mural basketball tournament proceeded steadily along this year. What teams! What rivalry! Due to the expert shooting of suoh girls as Mary Hill, Dorothy Schramm, Dorothy Peters, and Ruth Jenkins, high scores were piled up during the periods of play. Betty Hartman, Madelyn Dorman, Marjorie Sussman, and Sjdvia MacDermid are a few other accurate shooters for their respective teams. The past semester started with a new activity in the girls ' gym classes. Volley ball was the next sport to be studied. A round robin tournament was held in each class with an inter-class elimination play off, at the end. The Alumni Girls at the Toledo University challenged the winning team to a game. Some of the outstanding players in this sport were Dorothy Crocker, Willette Price, Gertrude Stacey, and Betty Martin. Tripping lightly down the gym floor, making daring turns in the air, deep down and sweeping gestures are all a part of the routine of a natural dancing class. As this was only introduced at DeVilbiss this year, the classes were hailed with enthusiasm. Among the girls that enjoyed their instruction are: Ruth Hartman, Grace Blackburn, Marianne Emmel, Jane Bristol, Mary Dickey, Dorothj Peters, Ruth Anderson, and Dorothy Schramm. Even though the participants in this pastime have stiff joints during the following week from their class, they are always eager to learn their next steps. Learning their sense of balance is the first instruction thej receive. Strike two , called umpire Pee Wee Binns! Yes siree, you are now viewing a baseball game on the DeVilbiss high school Athletic Field. It is a game that any one enthusiast could say is filled with concentrated action. Pitcher Louis Snodgrass certainly is able to hurl the old ball right over the plate. Those balls that Bettae Shank doesn ' t hit with the powerful swing that she possesses are bound to be caught by catcher Zella Mathes. Out there on second base you see Mary Dickey getting ready to make a run for third base or m.ost likely home. Whack! There goes the ball out in midfield. Runner! Elizabeth Glander pulls up swiftly to first base just in time, for the first baseman Mary Louise Ruhnke came very near to putting her out. Once again the ball has been hit and out into field. This time however, it is caught by the rightfielder Geraldine Kennedy! Hiking enthusiasts are found in great numbers at DeVilbiss. Outstanding are a few girls who have taken considerably long hikes and are setting up quite a speed record for hikers. They are: Mary Hill, Sylvia Poneman, Marie Waters, Margaret White, Mary Louise Ruhnke, Josephine Patterson, and Florence Buser. Roasts along the banks of the Maumee River up around Maumee, Ohio are the favorites spots. Another deck game taught besides tennis, is shuffle board. This game proves most thrilling and is a good pastime around the gym. It requires a good muscle to push those blocks of wood on the correct numbers. Among those already skilled at the game are : Luella Renn, Lucille Schutz, Charlene Rapparlie, Dorothy Knauss, Charlotte Myerhoff, Jeannette Koons and Ruth Lehman. When this game is played, a loose skirt should be worn, if not gym shorts. Low heels or sleeks are also more fitted for the sport. Each participant should be sure that her arms are free as the shuffling depends wholly on the force of your arm! At DeVilbiss a fine athletic program was arranged this year. Throughout each day of the week, each month of the school year, the girls enjoyed their class periods im- mensely. It is with regret that the senior girls shall leave the gym this year when they go forth into the world to seek their vocation. Perhaps some of the excellent leaders who spent five periods of the week in the gym, will be future instructors at DeVilbiss. 1132] FEATURE T surrender, dear. — Ardith Baillie Lonesome little doll. — Betty Hawkins You brought a new kind of love to me. — Ellen Meinert Charming.
