INTRODUCTION We who are privileged to dwell in the Maumee Valley Walk knee deep in. history. Its romance intrigues our fancy, its glamour casts a radiance over all our days. From epoch to epoch, the Aborigines, the French, the British, to us the Americans: history is continuous. Whether a man scribbles the exploits of his clan on the walls of his cave or inscribes the story of his nation on the mountain's face he records the history of his time and place. Let us strive greatly and write our history nobly that those who come after us may read with pride. -Margaret Forst. 17 1,15 ifill ', 'Q 4 si, .nf I 'K A uf f', . ,..f',1u,jfrI1 V I,l,,,.,,,,,:,,,, Q Q ,fu .igfnyfyj 4: 'lf 1.x '. ,u I' 'I .447 w. ll ' as ' mt aiiilli 1- , ff gg... 1 ,ag .yin .,, ,- iff 4Hfl:!v'.'u.k ,1!vA1:w.w.l 'Ww,'n.fl' qi! -- 'H'-, 5 H 1 1' 'arm' 'wif fbi: in ll INN '1,,iyg ,,,- ',+ .

This powerful champion of a trammeled race was born at the junction of the Maumee and Au- glaize about 1 712. Possessed of a broad, powerful. and penetrating intellect, a subtlety and craft in which he knew no superior, and an unlimited ambition, he engineered the greatest conspiracy of Indians ever attempted. His understanding reached to higher generalization and broader com- prehensions than any other Indian mind. In him were combined the qualities of an astute leader, a remarkable warrior and a broad-minded states- man. His campaign against the British in Detroit is probably one of the greatest feats of Indian his- tory. Its failure to reach attainment was due solely to the lack of French cooperation. Pontiac, a broken warrior, returned to the Maumee basin and spent his last years in this stronghold. Pontiac met death at the hands of a Kaskaskian Indian, bribed by a British trader, whose toma- hawk found lodgment in his brain. 'Thus passed one of Americas greatest aborigines. X 14 Q !

And lo, a figure, copper-tinted and stalwart, is out- lined on the horizon. I-Ialting, it gazes into the Maumee valley, into the Grand Glaize region. Facing the east it motions, Come forth, my tribesmenf' The red men-woodland children of Gitche Manitau. entered the Grand Glaize region, land of the trammeled mound-builder. Gitche Manitau redecorated their sylvan haunts, their Auglaize and Maumee, with superb beauties. He spun the wheel of time and despite his warnings, his subjects failed him. He vowed their destruction. The lingering shadows of evening began to fall. In the center of a clearing, the grotesque figure of Me-sha-wah the medicine man, was moving about, preparing his daily medicine. With a step of pride, Me-sha-wah walked to the medicine altar. My people are as mighty as the Great Spirit, he ex- claimed, enchanted by the peaceful atmosphere about him. Suddenly a mysterious voice addressed him, I am Gitche Manitau, it said. Long have I warned you of the misdoings of your tribesmen, but you have not heeded. You shall not die, but shall live a conquered foe. My new race, the paleface, shall appreciate the Grand Glaize region. I have spoken! Silently, peacefully, the flickering rays of twilight merged with those of night. Me-sha-wah and the scene about him faded into obscurity. A new dawn and a new day were drawing nigh.

Tall around it rise the oak trees: Rise the oaks with acorns on them, While in front the little fir trees. With the nests of wrens among them, Guard the entrance to its portals. To this ancient institution, Many, many moons gone by, Came a motley aggregation. More than twenty and one hundred Of young squaws and stripling warriors Tall and slender like the bean-pole, Short and wide in their dimensions. Thus they came in mighty numbers To get wisdom, skill and knowledge. Brilliant verdure was their color. Like unto the leafy forests: Cracked and raspy were their voices, Like a saw and file together. Young buck Daum was first selected, I-le, the one of childish chatter, To preside, advise, admonish And their destinies control. At the time of second autumn, When the Sumac leaves were red, To their numbers there were added Many names and other faces. Maidens fair and warriors bold. As their ken of lore and legend, Grew apace with form and stature. So their hues became less verdant And their voice more loud and strident, Like unto the noisy Blue-Jay. So this bird became their symbol Of their news sheet Sophomoric. But the chilling blasts of winter Laid it low, like poor Cock Robin, Never more to rise again. When the shocks of corn and fodder, Through the haze of field and meadow, Stood like tepees of great War-chiefs. Then these pale-faced youths and maidens Gathered round the council fires, X 36 DEF HANCE To select another chieftain, Who should guide them and should chide them. Big chief Noogie thus was chosen And of all chiefs most beloved, For he ruled with gentle spirit, - And was just to all his people. In the spring-time and the May-time, When the winter's snow had fled, Came an honored prophetess Calling Junior tribe and Senior, To the great gymnastic Wigwam, For a feast most modernistic. Here great scenes of wildest color And designs most futuristic, Met the eye on every side. Words of wisdom from the great ones, Songs of love and victory Interspersed the dainty viands, Filling all their hearts with glee. Thus with ceremony solemn, Was established, then and ever, Peace 'tween Twenty-nine and Thirty, Nevermore to broken be. One for all And all for one, labeled only with the ' For a pilot through the rapids And the throes of Senior year, Was selected the great Ury. He with shuffle like the great bear: He with cunning like the fox. Ne'er was seen before his equal, Ne'er again shall like him be, For he uproots mighty forests Con the stagej Sets great houses, in their place. Then this tribe of Maids and Warriors, Mighty in debate and music, Famed for eloquence and wit, Launched out boldly toward the sunrise: Toward the rising sun of morning: Toward the battlefield of life. While the oaks and little fir trees Sang, i'Farewell to Nineteen Thirty, Said, Goodbye, O Nineteen Thirty, Most distinguished of our children: Best of all have we loved thee. -Somefellow. 'D R 37 - 14-Aa 0 EFIANCE PROPHECY FOR CLASS OF 1930 Extral Extral Rocket plane reaches Mars, was the cry we heard as Margaret Vanderscoff and I stepped out of our Fifth Avenue apartment. We almost toppled over as we read in big headlines- Lucille Deepe Flies to Mars. Expected home in three weeks. We didn't read any farther, we were speechless with amazement. Finally I suggested that the class of '30 hold a reception in honor of her marvelous achievement. Plans fo-r the reception were started immediately. It was to be held in the banquet hall of Defiance High School. We immediately went to the broadcasting station to send a radiogram, congratulating her' upon her success and informing her of our plans. The operator was no other than our old friend Albert Ciherke. Roger Fahey was the announcer. We went to the information bureau to find out if any other of our class- mates were in New York, The clerk, Kendall Mansfield, told us of Dick Phillips and his Sunset Serenaders, John Eck, Russel Myers, Walter Hardy, New Yeag- ley and Paul Mather, After a little research work in the directory we found Prof. Raymond Moore of Columbia University. He was very enthusiastic about the reception and promised to bring the coach of the University. Lester' Hale, and their wives, Phyllis Widmer and Hildegarde Myers, and the children's governess, Lurline Doenges. He gave us also the address of Walter Speiser, a prominent chemist, demonstrating the diffusion of gases theory. Homer Wiler, botanist, was the next among our acquaintances: along with his name was that of Gertrude Weaver, Hazel Wells, Wilma Whitney, and Ruth Weisz, world famed as The Roaring Forty Debatersf' He also recalled the name of Edward Brown, president of the A. 8 P. Stores, and Richard Cunningham, manager of a home for injured athletes. The next familiar name was Miss Latchaw and according to the address given we reached a large Shoe Store and. upon entering, a young lady stepped up and asked to help us, Sure enough, cried Margaret, Hit is Ruth Latchawf' She told us her sad story of the disappearance of her husband six months after marriage. 4 While this story was seeking a place in our hearts we recognized Margaret Hopper buying her wedding slippers. She told us she was an accountant in the Bank and was engaged to be married to Martin Boday, a rich banker. We asked if she knew where Alys Stever and Eleanor Yeagley were. Yes, she responded, Alys is stenographer to a prominent law firm in New York, Tubbs, Larghe id Smoll, and Eleanor is in St. Louis, bookkeeper for a painless dentist by the name of James Cameron. Being extremely fatigued after our day's labor, we went to the Paramount to the Musical Review. We nearly fainted when the curtain parted. There stood John Couch in a Scotch kilt bowing to the audience, introducing himself and his Scotch Lassies, Ruth Bronson, Beulah Cromwell, Mary Grogg, Olive Deck- rosh, Mildred Roehrs, Clara Robertson, Vera Blanchard, Kathryn Browns, Cleo Stuckey, Marvelle Moon, Margaret Gutman, Maxine Mansfield, Agnes Masanz, Fern McFeeters and Marjorie Richard. , It is now the day before the celebration. Word has been received from Lucille thanking us for our trouble, She had landed at Atlanta City and was bringing Clare Fahrer, who was pilot on the plane, also Marjorie Konst, who X A .ss Lllllili IANCE g was the owner of the hotel. But most important of all, Arthur Ury, her hus- band, and his valet, Grover Bouvier. ' The conductor on the train was a short curly-headed man and we guessed him as Ralph Beiswenger. He and the brakeman, Frank Daum, assured us they would be there for the eats. Something went wrong and the train had to be pulled on the side track to be repaired. Impatiently I glanced out the window and saw an apparently old man toiling in a large potato patch along the tracks. While watching him I discovered it was Victor Batterson. He consented to come along with us: and. going up a long winding lane to a large mansion he soon returned with his talkative wife, Faye Sherman, and Geraldine Clemens who was visiting them. Geraldine and Mrs. Batterson had been working together on a correspondence course in toe dancing. At last we are at Defiance. Look at the crowd waiting for Lucille's train from Atlantic City. Here it comes. Hellol Lucille, you are a wonder! Among those present whom I have not already mentioned were: Helena Weisenburger, who was down south preaching to the Negroes, and Violet Bleeks, a movie actress Ctoo bad she hadn't joined Johnny's Chorusj. Katherine Bond and Katherine Davis are now working in Dr. Paul May's hospital in Illinois. Willis Powell is head undertaker. Doris Daenitz is champion swimmer, the first one to ever swim the Arctic Ocean. Pat Seither might have been if she hadn't lost her suit, according to custom, and froze to cleath. Evelyn Hamilton and Madonna Leithauser are grand opera singers. Lucille Dowe and Ruth Bauman had been teaching Latin and Physics respectively in Dayton, Ohio, but had discovered they were getting old too fast, so had taken up a livelier course, namely aviation. Paul March is the editor of a magazine called Latest Fashion from Paris. His assistant editor is Lester Schmunk, Harry Dirr sends the styles direct from his Salon in Paris. His models are Doris Brubaker, Katherine Sullivan, Judith Dils, Ruth Mansfield and Mary Nelle Moore. Roger Daoust, the famous radio lecturer, is still boring with Roads and Civilization. The class of '30 is proud of all its successful students. -Dorothy Brownsi and Margaret Vanderscoff.

We should need little adjustment, however, for as Sophomores we considered ourselves quite bright and perhaps even intelligent. Our first activity was to have been a wiener roast in a beautiful grove in the country, but fate would not have it, for twice on the exact dates of the roast it poured great floods of the wettest water in history. Next was the annual Junior and Senior fight which might have been good enough for the ring-but so much for that. From then on we settled down to honest labor, wearied often from exer- tion but never faltering in our daily rounds All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy: so, acting upon the sugges- tion of Miss Gleason, we organized a dramatic club in which our aspiring young dramatists revealed their hidden abilities. Now we are working as we never have before, in preparation for the annual banquet which we expect to make far superior to any Junior-Senior banquet given so far. This year, our banquet will be the first to be held in the new banquet hall which is now being completed. Our play and contest are also still before us so that we have plenty to look forward to in the line of outside activities. These Juniors do not have pictures: Victor lirudiick, Ruth Clearing, Gerald Gruver, Robert Myers, Josephine Pcssefnll, Robert Rochrig, Norman Schultz, Norbert Schweitzer, Lowell Smith. 15 4 1 UlEl'lAlXlCE K Catherine Andrews Mills Andrews Reba Ankney Elden Arps Alma Baden Jim Baker Richard Bansen Esther Batterson Margaret Batterson Otto Beiswenger Walter Boday lfrances Brechbill Richard Bronson Carl Browns Elizabeth Caris Marie Colgan Anna Colwell l.ester Colwell Agnes Coressel Eunice Coressel Robert Costello l.loyd Cummings William Daoust Donelda Dotterer Elizabeth Duerk l.aVon Eberle Hope Elliott Walter Fender Carl Fessel Walter liloehr-removed to St. .lohn's Academy Edward Galliers Kenneth Garman Bernidine Graber Gertrude Grether Mabel Guilliam Elizabeth Hall Marie Harper Catherine Hench Roger Herbolsheimer Ralph Hill Leonard Hirsch Helen Holley liaith Horning Harold Horr Helen Howey Helen Hummer William Hummer - Lake Kellermeyer Eugene Kern l.ois Kinner Gertrude Kissner Virginia Kniss Virgil l.agorin Robert Lantow Velma Layman -ll l Z.

Our tribe consisted of many braves and squaws, making a total of one hundred and forty-four Indians. Q After everything was organized and running smoothly we had a pow- wow and elected Jim Miller as our chief, Miss Betty Beard as his advisor, Kathleen Phillips to Write an account of our camp doings and of the battles we intended to fight, and Clifton Boyee to take care of our trophies of War. A Dramatic Club was formed by the braves and squaws who came through with the highest rank during the war with English. This Club, supervised by our best squaw, Miss Carter, met at the wigwams of the different members. On October Z2 we had a War Dance of the Witch and Black Cat. This dance was a success because by the help of these spirits We managed to survive through exams and the winter with hardly a loss, We gave one of our squaws, Miss Ciriner, a remembrance of our love, from our trophies of War, when she was captured by Mr. McCormick, a brave from a neighboring state. - Next year our tribe hopes to pack up their wigwams and move farther along in the Defiance High School and also to advance the name of our tribe. from Sophomore to Junior.

Lessons in the art of broadening of the mind occupied most of the time. Friendships sprang up--squaws with squaws: braves with bravesg and- squaws with braves. Exclusive pow-wows of the Teepee occurred, often in Early Autumn Moon. Members of the Teepee are: Robert Serrick. chief, and Margaret Brown, assistant chief, who sits on the right side. Virginia Seibel, secretary, who sits anywhere she can write. The spoils of war we bring to Keith Tustison, treas- urer. Our advisory chief is Miss Creager. This is the first year there has ever been a Freshman dramatic club. This was started under the direction of our advisory chief, Miss Creager, who is always planning big things for the Freshmen tribe. At one of the festivals we gave a play by the name of AAWisdom Teeth. Our braves go to battle on the basketball floor under the leadership of warriors Jack Kissner and Harold Mix. At our party, given when the snow covered all the country in December, we had a heap big time. 'We had a yo-yo contest and a treasure hunt and Big Chief Santa Claus presents to all good squaws and braves. Lucille Preisendorfer was chosen Princess and Vsfalter Proper, chief, in the popularity contest. Battling with Algebra, English, Latin, Biology, Domestic Science, we are obtaining more territory of knowledge. - These stud I d t h p'cturc's: Emily Deg .

I My DEFIANCE LITTLE TURTLE'S MESSAGE 'Tis an evening in September In Ohio's Grand Glaize region, Circling 'round a weed-worn hollow, Is this scene of paleface legend. Little Turtle, leader of his people, Tall, erect-a bronzed figure, Speaks unto his mighty tribesmen, Miami warriors-in every virtue. Brother tribesmen, we must journey, From this native Grand Glaize country, We must journey to the west-land, Depart, in accordance with our treaty. So I bid you, my brave tribesmen, So I tell you with my tongue, Let our brave hearts hide our sorrow, We have lost-the paleface won. Little Turtle and great Blue Jacket, Had led the Indians on the war-path, At Fallen Timbers, fought they Anthon At Fallen Timbers, tasted his wrath. Now the hollow, ebbed in darkness, Echoes with the red man's mourning, Faint are the embers of that fire, That behold a nation's passing! -Lester Schmunk. Y 60 UIQ?

The success of the programs remains not only as a compliment to Music Supervisor Mr. W. Oscar Jones, but also as an indication of the high standard of music at our high school. THE CHILDE JESUS In keeping with the Yuletide Spirit, the High School Cilee Club, com- posed of seventy-eight voices, presented a most beautiful Christmas Cantata, The Childe Jesus by Joseph W. Clokey and Hazel Jean Kirk, on the even- ing of December the twentieth in the auditorium. The Child Jesus is a story of the coming and birth of the Christ Child. Solo numbers were effectively sung by Miss Marian Wood, soprano: Miss Gretchen Seither, alto: Roger Daoust, Jr., bass: Richard Phillips and Richard Osborn, tenors: and the narrator, Arthur Ury, bass. The production of this cantata was an evidence of the excellent musical training that is being given by Mr. W. Oscar Jones, supervisor. THE NATIVITY STORY The first floor of the Community Auditorium was well filled on the evening of the presentation of The Nativity Story, a Christmas pageant given by the grade school pupils of the city. The cast had been chosen from all schoo-ls. Representatives from each room from the third to seventh grades inclusive were selected rather than chosen merely by the best voices. An interesting introduction was a group of five Christmas songs by chil- dren of the first and second grades. Mary Zeschke then began the reading of the Biblical story of the Nativity, and continued throughout the production, her lines forming the connecting lines for the various scenes and chorus numbers. Nine of the familiar Christmas carols were sung from the highest point in the balcony by another chorus of children. THE GYPSY ROVER The operetta, Gypsy Rover, was given by the Defiance High Glee Clubs, in the Community Auditorium, February the twenty-first. The play, in three acts, is the story of a young English noble who is kidnapped and raised as a gypsy, without knowing his true identity. He and Lady Constance fall in love but meanwhile his foster mother reveals his iden- tity and the play ends happily. The audience showed unmistakable approval of the entire production hy enthusiastic applause. The acting and the musical numbers moved with a verve and finish that reflected the arduous rehearsals of preceding days. Well balanced throughout, each musical number seemed a high spot. The play was supervised by W. Oscar Jones, assisted by Miss Margaret Finley, Miss Loamy Heater, and Miss Rosemary Draper. Cullison's orchestra provided musical accompaniment. 66 DEFIANCE HIGH SCHOOL EISTEDDFOD BOWLING GREEN HIGH SCHOOL AUDITORIUM May 2, 1930 . Adjudicator LL,.L,L,, LLLL, . ,LL,v, , L Prof. Ernest G.

Lapham has discovered a mineral paint on his farm in Lumberville and through his integrity and shrewdness has developed a large paint company. The Lapham family upon the success of the father has moved to Boston where they decide to crash the gates of Boston society. They are beginning by building a beautiful new home on Beacon Hill. Irene, the younger and more beautiful daughter, has visions of becoming a lady, while Penelope, the elder and more practical of the two, believes that the Boston aristocrats will only laugh at their social attempts. The mother, Persis Lapham, desires only to be back home on the farm: but Lapham, himself, believes that money will secure them a position anywhere. At a ball given by the Bromfield Coreys the two girls are accepted into the charmed circle, while the parents offer much in the way of contrast to the other guests. Tom Corey brings the evening to a crisis by declaring his love for Penelope, who had imagined him in love with Irene. She refuses him, thinking he will then be interested in her sister. While the Laphams are at the party their new 8100.000 house burns down. Added to this trouble, Lapham loses money in the stock market. A rival paint company nearly forces him out of business. Because of his honesty Lapham loses out entirely and the family returns to Lumberville. After some time Irene becomes interested in one Archie Adams, and Penelope and Tom are reunited. The Rise of Silas Lapham is a human play, rich in interest. leisurely in movement, but never dull.

'- Dr. Gerald Sumner enters his new and elaborate oiiice to practice medicine at the demand of his father. He engages a beautiful girl as oliice help and awaits patients. b Mrs. Creighton Woodbridge, a wealthy lady, is in despair over her son's health. They consult the new doctor. He discovers that dainty Grace Tyler has been bestowing too much of her time upon Preston DeWitt and that Budd Woodbridge is plain jealous. He prescribes a month's treatment in which all social life, especially Grace Tyler, must be dropped and devoted attention to athletics given. The beautiful Virginia Xelva is to be his special nurse and keep his mind from Grace. As a climax to the month a surprise party of his old friends proves Budd still devoted to Grace. The doctor finds DeWitt calling upon Miss Xelva and succumbs to Budd's malady. Through many laughable incidents the mysteries are cleared away. Budd has his Grace and Miss Xelva, who is discovered to be an heiress, by suggesting the same treatment Budd has received, secures her doctor. There is not an uninteresting moment in this pleas- ing comedy which deals so charmingly with youth and love that all are ready to say The whole world loves a lover. t THE CAST Dr. Gerald Sumner ..... , .....,........,,....... - .....,,.....

And in the summer by the rill, We stop for strawberries on the hill, Then down to the bottom of the hill we'd roll, And go kersplash in the ole swimming hole. ' When going down that dusty street, With the patter of little feet, On the street you'd hear him, Joel: And off they'd go, to the ole swimming hole. When we go to the city-big,' And take a swim in their thing-a-ma- jig, It ain't like the good ole bowl, ' That was called by us, the ole swimming hole. And sometimes on a winter night, When all the stars are shining bright, We grab our skates and off we go, To take a skate on the ole swimming hole. In winter it may be nice, To slide or skate upon the ice, But in the summer, I want to go, Back to that good ole swimming hole. -By Kenneth Duffy. K 76 H DEI? RANGE vii Luther D. Smith Glen B.

KANCE VARSITY SQUAD FOOTBALL LETTERMEN Eddie Galliers at end, showed great promise for next year. A fast boy. lots of determination kaows how to tackle, and is back for one more year. Paul Mather. in his first and only year with us. was a real boy and although not seeing so much action, was a real benefit to the team because of his fine attitude and unselfish spirit. Edward Brown, another senior, filled the position of end when needed. His interception '- of a pass in the Montpelier game saved the day. Dick Cunningham, at left tackle, took care of his position in good shape. He was a gritty player. Worked hard. His tackling was low and sure: always taking up the spirit and lots of determination. Jim Miller, only a sophomore, handles the full-back position in lirst class shape. He went into the line fast' and hard, a real pass receiver and also very shifty in the open field. Robert Miller. also at guard, showed great promise for future years. A big boy who is always trying. His work in the Napoleon game was of high character. Co-captain Hale was a regular on the football team for four years, playing the position of tackle. His hard tackling. aggressive blocking, determined effort and real leadership, will long be remembered. Art Ury played the position of guard for two years. His spirit was fine and he always gave his best for the team. He was a hard charging, aggressive lineman, and a good judge of opponents' attack. -ll JV 30 g UEFHANCE l SPRING PRACTICE SQUAD FOOTBALL LETTERMEN Co-captain Roehrig saw service at end for three years. A great pass receiver. alwtays down fast under punts, quick at Hguring out opponents' plays. and many opponents still remember his hard, low tackle. Dick Osborn. playing his last year at half-back, was the cause of much worry to our opponents. His passing was fine, a broken runner of ability. and a safety man the opponents could not get by. Bill Whitney, a junior, was a fast man on the Held who made himself indispensable to the team. Charlie Block, for two years was all that could be asked for in the way of a center. He was dependable. an accurate passer. aggressive both on defense or offense. and he was always at the right place at the right time. Clarence Hohenberger, playing his first year at a guard position. was versatile for a big boy, always on the job, with two more years of service. Ray Moore. at half-back. developed fast for a new man. kept in perfect condition, always gave his best. and his work in the Van Vvlert game was excellent. Billy Daoust has been holding down the left end position for three years, with one left to go. Down fast under punts, a hard low tackler, a boy with a line spirit and always trying hard. Wilbur Frysinger held clown the quarter-back position this year. He was a good pass defense man. using his height to a good advantage, and made lots of yardage in his dashes through the line. Harold Houghton, as student manager. was always doing his best to keep the team in condition. . ga S1 j A ,1 -i L1 gl 3: . fi vu V1 31 Y If wg J fl 'e gel 2 f i k 4 P. i ii J 3' Ii fi 55 fi f! , f I w I !

The team scored 144 points to its opponents 52. The victories were all clean-cut and the school and down-town supporters as well as Coach Luther D. Smith, were all pleased with the outcome of the season. When the first practice was called, things looked bad for the team: for, though there were seven letter men back, six of these were linesmen, necessitating the breaking-in of a backfield. However, when the day of the first game arrived, there were three well coached teams ready for the battle. Real spirit prevailed throughout the season and when injuries threatened to set back the team, Coach Smith was able to find plenty of recruits to work in. The team was a hard hitting, fighting team, typical of Defiance. The 'few penalties of the season showed the clean playing and good sportsmanship which prevailed among the players. The defense of the team was, as always in the school highly developed. The tackling, punt blocking, and the holding of the line were exceptional and did not let up at any time as proven by the fact that there were never more than fourteen po-ints scored against us in any game. The offense was usually good but it failed in the Napoleon game, as the vast Defiance crowd who journeyed to that city to view it will testify. All through the season the running of the backfield and excellent interference of the linesmen was very commendable. ' SPRING POOTBALL With one of the largest squads ever on our football field, prospects for next year's and future teams looked very good. There were fifty-five outfitted players out and Coach Smith had three working teams. Practice consisted chiefly of fundamentals with enough scrimmage to make things exciting. The season closed with a football tournament of all the work o-f the players. It was won by Jim Miller in the backfield and Bill Daoust in the line. On the last day, a game was held between the A and B teams. X , Y B4 0 . :4dy AD ULQFHANCE BASKETBALL--1930 HOLGATE ,, ,,,, 5 D, H. S, 12 SHERVVOOD ,, ,, 10 D, H. S. '50 JEWEL1. , , 7: D. H.

FRYSINC ER g Y - ' if -- EFHANCE BASKETBALL REVIEW Although the basketball players worked hard and fought continually, there was not a natural player among them and the high school had one of the worst seasons in history. Due credit must be given ,to Coach Smith and the team for their continual drive and fight against' hopeless odds. All through the season the team would show unmistak- able signs of life, but these would disappear just as mys- teriously as they came. The boys played a good defensive game and could handle the ball nicely, but they were unable to hit the basket. ' Perhaps the greatest game of the season was the game with Bryan in the tournament. The team was in its best form and was playing the school's keenest rival, Bryan. The score would see-saw back and forth and Bryan, who twice during the season, had whipped us, had an extremely hard time securing a two point victory. Bryan then pro- ceded to crash through the tournament, defeating Napoleon and Libbey, and winning lirst place. The only consolation our boys have is that they lostthe tournament by two points. i..i.L---1 GIRLS' BASKETBALL The Defiance Girls started the season out right by easily defeating their first two opponents, Holgate and Jewell, by large scores. One of the best games was the Defiance-Bryan game. After a hard struggle, with first one and then the other team, Defiance finally emerged the victor. Certainly the most exciting game, although a defeat for our team, was the first Defiance-Paulding game. During the iirst half Paulding led by a large score. In the second half our team rallied and held Paulding, meanwhile adding up the score for Defiance. The last few minutes were wild ones, each team fight- ing like mad. But Paulding returned from the battle two points ahead. The game with Ney was another easy victory for Defiance. January 31, was an off night for Defiance. Our team was defeated 18-7 by Pioneer. Our team lacked pep, and time and again when it looked like a sure basket, the ball would roll tantalizingly around the rim and then would roll Ollf. The other two games with Bryan were defeats for Defiance-and that's about enough said. ' The second Paulding-Defiance game was another exciting one and a lot more satisfying. Our team won, after a hard fought battle, by four points. 'igfat ss E DEI? RANGE I 9 30 GIRLS' BASKETBALL SCHEDULE HOLGATE 0 D. H. s. 2 42 .JEWELL LLLL 2 13, H. s. 32 BRYAN ll D.

Instead of a rather meager squad as there was last year, there were fifty reported at the first call and a squad of twenty was carried the whole season, this number being taken on all the trips. Not only has interest picked up among the players, but the.number of fans has grown and every night at practice there was a crowd to watch. The opening of the season found many vacancies on the team, but from the army- of new recruits, a great many of them underclassmen, they have all been filled. Back at the pitcher's box this year is Lester Hale and so far this year his work has been very good. He is relieved frequently by a new man, Harold Houghton, who, when not doing this, is holding down the shortstop position. Lowell Smith and Lake Kellermyer are the catchers. Dick Cunningham is at first this year and still yells as much as ever. Walter Schroeder is playing his first year at second base and Bob Myers is back at third again. In the outfield are Lenard I-Iirch at left field, Efferson Towle at center, and either Roger Miller or Raymond Moore at right. E For utilities men are Roger Fahey, Walter Proper, Jack Towle, Clyde Nihiser, W. Penrod, Ralph Beiswinger, and Clinton Tubbs. The team has two loyal water carriers, Keith Tustison and Albert Cmherke Cbetter known as Ike Guckj. So far in the season the team has done very well with four wins and one tie. Saturday, May 17th, the team is entered in Northwestern Ohio Baseball Tourn- ament at Defiance College. The following players are carried as regulars: Ray Moore Walter Proper Efferson Towle Robert Myers Leonard Hersch Harold Houghton - Lake Kellermeyefr Lowell Smith Roger Miller Roger Fahey Al Gherke, Mgr.

A 'man at the head was Captain Brain. Left Fort Defiance at the head of a train, And when it left with a westward Ho! To the land of gold and the white buffalo. They followed the trails across the wild, As yet the weather was quite mild, As last they came to the Mississippi flow, Near the land of food and the white buffalo They passed through bog, swamp, up trail, And hollowed them out with many a rail, But still they ever westward go, To the land of wealth and the white buffalo They had the small pox, the grip, and Hu, And all the doctors cared to do. Oh! on this trip there was plenty of woe, But on to the land of the white buffalo. They came at last where the trail is split, Back from the river a little bit, Here they stop and stand to make their show In the land of plenty and the white buffalo. In the spring when it got warm. And all of the bees began to swarm. They planted corn and made a-go, In the land of plenty and the white buffalo. It has grown old, and rough, and gray, As on life's road they passed away, The spirit-river that west-ward flows, Has taken with it, the white buffalo. -Kenneth Duffy. v-gig-5 96 UEFHANCE -Great spirits of the departed!

I left Sleepy Valley on the Dream Train and came On the Road to Mandalay. When I stepped off the train I felt All Alone and wondered if the Wedding Bells had broken up That Old Ciang of Mine. Almost immediately I recognized That Pretty Little Thing Joy Davis, sitting on the curb with her Rag Doll Waiting for Dick Phillips. She had Always been My Pet. I inquired of where My Pal Frances Cubberly lived and I found she lived In a Little White House, High on a Hilltop, Ten Little Miles from Town. . I hailed a taxi and much to my surprise I found Ed Zellers to be the driver. As we drove down Willowy Lane Together I saw By the Way sitting Under the Shade of an Old Apple Tree. Where the Sweet Forget- me-nots Remember Ralph Hill and Mary Cirogg watching their children Jo-Ann. It was Sundown as We Too came to The End of the Road and found her Bungalow of Dreams. I walked up the Wabaly Walk just as Woodrow Clemens was Whispering Good-Bye to Frances While talking over our School-days I found that Hope Elliott was In Hollywood and that Vagabond Lover Maurice Musgrave had found The Girl of His Dreams who was none other than Willard Watson's Sup- pressed Desire, Nancy Young. Don Hawk had been Crying for the Carolines ever since his Sweeter than Sweet had said she was Thru and so now he's under the Carolina Moon singing The Blues. I guess he'd Never Been Blue before. We decided to go to Show Boat but Frances was Too Tired so she stayed home with her cook, Maxine Stoll, and Bill Daoust, the butler. As we were going to the show we saw Mayor Jim Shindler with his trusties: Bill Weaner, Nelson Skiver- and Johnny Nickel, singing The Pris- oner's Song. Just as the Song Was Ended we heard Church Bells ringing at The Church Upon the Hill and learned of a wedding to be solemnized at Twilight The brides were Amy Kirtley and Juanita Sproul, the bride- grooms were Art Ury and Ed Brown. The grooms were asking for Sym- pathy. We reached the theatre just as it began to Rain so we used A Smile for Our Umbrella and began Singing in the Rain. As we proceeded to the ticket booth, where we bought our tickets of Ruth Latchaw, who was substitut- ing for Ned Yeagley, but had been slightly injured while out riding with Margaret Vanderscoif. As we took our seats, we saw Lester Colwell Doin' the Raccoon at the special request of Two Little Ciirls in Blue whom we found to be Ruth Bau- man and Lucile Dowe. Elaine Miller came strutting down the aisle singing, He Can't Be Both- ered with Me when George Snider and Charlie Block yelled out, Hello Baby, Here We Are. They were immediately put out by Bud Eberle, the manager. Next Clinton Tubbs sang, I Love Me with Elizabeth Hall as accom- panist. The Talk of the Town was when Florence Sherer C Pansy J sang, 6 F Y 71037 -V That Wonderful Something Called Love. The hits of the Evening were as follows: N0body's Sweetie Now -.- oo,., .. ..oo . .......ooo .. .olooo . ,ootooo.toot...,f.ot Elizabeth Switzer I'm Following You ---. .Arlene Peppers Cat the special request of Harold Mixj The last feature was a chorus of girls doing the Breakaway The leaders were: Doris Daenitz, Alta Cromwell, and Helen Jump. The Sweet Music was furnished by Bob Zellers and his Tattered Ten. We arrived home around Three o'Clock in the Morning and after a visit from the Japanese Sandman, we were ready to Go to Bed and Close Our Eyes to the Rest of the World. Out of the Dawn came Old Man Sunshine which was Good News to everyone. A After breakfast, I Tip-toed Thru the Tulips while Helen Slosser and Zeb Towle Meandered in the Meadows. Since my visit to The Old Home Town was limited I decided to return. On my way to the station I saw the great artists, Dick Cunningham and his betrothed, Phyllis Widmer, Painting the Clouds with Sunshine. 'llust Around the Corner stood Harold Houghton singing, Don't Get Collegiate to Evelyn Fuller. It was the end of a perfect day when I arrived at the station and I knew that when we reached the Cross Roads of life we wouldn't be Too Busy to Remember Way Back When we were Kids in the good old D. H. S. and so, Adios- Till We Meet Again. By Mary Louise. WHO'S WHO IN THE JUNIOR CLASS The thing I think I can do best is to cook. Of course people who eat the meals I prepare may have an altogether different opinion. -Elizabeth Hall. My favorite amusement is acting up when I'm supposed to be serious. Hence, one of my nicknames, Pest. The thing I can do best is drive a car, because I've never had a serious accident-yet. -Hope Elliot. I can fry eggs better than I can do anything else. Whenever we have eggs at home, I most generally get to fry them and I guess they always taste good, too. -Carl Fessel. According to all statistics I was born on August eighteenth, 1913, in the same domicile and likewise the same fair village in which I now reside. I have never been accused of being able to do anything well except talking too much and losing my good disposition. Aside from that, I can kill quite a lot of time playing the piano and swimming when the weather is warm enough. -Elizabeth Switzer. The thing I can really do best is to swim. I worked at the Golf Links for about four summers and here is where I learned to swim. At the Golf Links we went in about three times a day, because it was so hot. -Odell Wiseman. Among the thousands of birth certificates which are kept in the City Recorder's office, there is one which bears the name Gertrude Elizabeth Kissner. As far as I have been able to find out, this is my name, so I will continue to make use of the same. i 104 V -I-rgvrl uf. .MQ 5.4 QQ., -sip 76 f 1-1.

J L QXQLQJ, f 5 juyykx THE INDIANFS DAY In the east the sun arises, And upon the horizon Gathered around him are his tribesmen Coming, coming as the dawn. And at noon, the mid-day hour, Stands the Indian in his glory, Gathered around him are his tribesmen, Listening to the Spirit's story. Now, the mighty sun is sinking, I Yes, the white man's stood the test, On the sky-line, a plodding Indian, Going home-going west. -By Lester L.
