Then along came Van Wert with a veteran team and they handed the Bulldogs a 33 to 0 defeat. The Bulldogs got back into the win column with a 34-0 victory over Napoleon. After a long ride to Mansfield, the Bulldogs were handed their second defeat 26-6 by a strong Mans- field eleven. The Bulldogs took their second league victory of the season by defeating Wauseon 19-0. On October 22, the Bulldogs traveled to Fostoria, the Redman polishing off D. H. S. 27 to 0. The following Thurs- day, October 28, the Bulldogs played host to Bryan and beat them 34 to 7. ln the game with Bryan, Derricotte crossed the goal four times to lead his team to victory. lt was on November 25, before a Homecom- ing crowd of 2,000 that the Bulldogs really got going and defeated unbeaten Liberty Center 7 to 2. The determined hard fighting Bulldogs took to the road once again, this time to Lima, where they conquered Central 32 to 0. Undefeated in League play and winning seven out of ten games during the season, the Defiance High School Bulldogs climaxed their l943 football season by trim- ming Montpelier 24 to 13. During the end of every football season someone always selects some of the out- standing players of that past season. This year Defiance had three players who were selected to be on the first, second, or third teams.

Swim With an inexperienced varsity club for the opening of the l943-4 basketball season, Coach Demyan was confronted with many problems but in due time he had a ball club that was a great threat to any opponent. With a schedule of sixteen games the Bulldogs won 7 and lost 9. ln the first game of the season the Bull- dogs lost to Hicksville 32 to 37. The following Friday they were beaten by Montpelier 21 to 26, next Liberty Center downed us 4l to 28. Defiance met its fourth defeat at the hands of Napoleon 15 to 27, but came back the next week to win from Bryan 39 to 26. With a win under their belts the Bulldogs polished off Pauld- ing 43 to 26 for their second win. Defiance was beaten by Wauseon the following Tuesday 45 to 30, but came back in the winning column by licking Napoleon 33 to 25 and Bryan 47 to ll. Traveling to Van Wert they :net defeat 33 to 25 and also suffered another loss the same week to Vklauseon 38 to 34. Montpelier was guest of the Bulldogs and went home with a 35 to 23 defeat. Next the Defiance hardwooders fell before Liberty Center 33 to 35 in which game the Bulldogs showed much improvement. The Bulldogs clipped Lima Central 47 to 35 and Celina 38 to 36. Playing Wauseon for the third time this season in a pre-tournament tilt, the Bulldogs lost a close one 47 to 44. At the end of the 1943444 basketball season the var- sity players elected Forward Gene Derricotte captain. The Bulldogs were defending champions of the toura- ment this year, but the same team has never won the championship two years in succession, and this tradi- tion held true this year. The Bulldogs won their first game from Montpelier by the score of 44 to 29. Van Wert, who had beaten the Bulldogs once during the season, turned the trick again by eliminating the Bull- dogs by a score of 26 to 23.

Special features this year were: more art, more news, and extra pages. In the middle of the year, school members were asked to criticize and suggest improvements which were then incorporated in the paper. This year every staff member were asked to write every type of article in order to get experience in writing in a Iournalistic style. Some of the different types of articles which must be written for every school paper are: editorials, feature stories, class and club write-ups, society news, sports articles, and front page news. 1- ANNUAL STAFF In spite of the shortage of materials, the Defiance Staff managed to put forth an annual of which we are justly proud. We hope we have justified the confidence placed in us by the record subscription list of 511 students and friends. We are offering as new additions to the year book more student art work, extra snapshots and an improved cover. We, the Staff, sincerely hope we have given the Seniors an annual which they will treasure in the future years when they want to look back over the good old days at D. H.

It gives our students the first opportunity in life to participate in a democratic form of government. They not only try to guide the student body along the best pat- terns of conduct but also act as a liaison officer between the student body and the administration. Each home room is represented on the council by an elected member. This year the group has been especially active in trying to iron out some of the various problems of the student body. Among their most noteworthy contributions of the year was the purchase of a service flag in honor of the former students of Defiance High School and the faculty members who are now in the armed forces.

This club is open to any high school girl who is interested. The first officers were Kathleen Mack, president, Pat Barr, vice-president, Luella Memmer, secretary, and Mary Gallup, treasurer. The purpose of Ser- vateers is to promote fellowship among all students, support all school activities, to be of service to our school and com- munity, maintain and promote school spirit, and to develop and improve good character among members. The club was most active in school affairs, sponsoring the Homecoming Dance, Washington Ball, and May Day, plus several dances after games. Besides regular parties the members sponsored a style show and held an open house. Meetings were held the first and third Wednesday of every month at which routine business was taken care of, and whenever possible a guest speaker was secured.

In spite of this, the club with twenty members had a successful year with Mr. Clingaman as advisor. The club ordinarily met twice a month, but during Mr. Clingaman's absence, due to illness, club activities slowed down. Members built many Mikofilm planes and glidders and several gas models.

At several of the meetings, very interesting and enlightening talks were given by Miss Norma Palmer, secretary at the Machine Works, Mr. Bode, and Mr. Casey Weakley, Personnel Director of the Defiance Automatic Screw Company.

FORT DEFIANCE CHAPTER OF NATIONAL HONOR SOCIETY The purpose of the National Honor Society in school is to create an enthusiasm for scholarship, to stimulate a de- sire to render service, to promote worthy leadership, and to encourage the development of character in the pupils of D. H. S. The Society has been doing an excellent job in this field. Fifteen per cent of the Seniors and five per cent of the Iuniors chosen for their scholarship, leadership, activities, and character, make up the roster of D. H. S. Induction ceremonies were the same as in previous years. Members meet the second Thursday of each month with Miss Morse as advisor. Harold Hall was president this year. The club's project for the third successive year has been the sale of War Bonds and Stamps. Sales this year were stimulated by our victories on the war front and by the Bombers vs. Submarines contest which the Bombers fgrades 7, 9, lll won. A dance was sponsored with the purchase of a defense stamp as admission. First Row: Suzanne Newcomb, Ieananne Smith, Lois Seibert, Betty Cordray, Beverly Marihugh, Miss Morse, advisor.

It endeavors to increase interest in the value of classical learning and to arouse a desire to make this learning available to others. Through the medium of social activities such as prepared reports, debates, discussions, playlets, and games, the mem- bers of the club have an opportunity to add to their knowledge of Roman and Greek life, customs, and languages. Its membership requirement of high scholarship furnishes any incentive for better work on the part of capable students. Dorothy Louys was president for the year with Miss Schlegel as advisor to the club. A Christmas party was held with refreshments and on April 12th the members held a meeting with eighth graders in which these freshmen were shown good reasons for taking Latin next year.

Meetings are held the third Thursday of every month with Richard Keller as president and Mr. Odegard as advisor. There was a lot of activity this year with fifty-nine production projects completed, and over one hundred improved farming practices carried out by members. There were seventeen sow and litter projects and fifteen dairy projects. Fifteen Greenhands were conferred to members.

The duty of the council is to act as an executive body for all junior Red Cross Work in our school. The main ob- jective is to have each student in the school serving in some way for the Red Cross. The shop classes contributed their bit by making writing boards which were sent to a veteran hospital. The girls offered their services by making kit bags which are given to the soldiers and sailors as they leave the country. Miss Young, advisor, Edward Bahmer, Thelma Hoelfel, Paul Palmer, Betsy Pendergast, Dick Mason, Ioan Spicer, Herman Reas, lean Dederman. PROTECTION PUPS Perhaps the hardest working organization in our school is the Projection Pups. Each day finds them carrying their equipment from classroom to class- room in order that we may all enjoy educational movies to supplement our work in the classroom. They have also provided us with many good assem- blies. There is not much social activitiy connected with this group as work takes up all their time, but their never-failing efforts are appreciated by all the students.

BEST FOOT FORWARD The boys at Winsocki High are making frenzied prepara- tions to receive the girls who are coming up for the big an- nual dance. ln the midst of the crackling lines and humorous discussions of dates comes Bud Hopper, who is plenty gloomy. His roommates finally find out the trouble. A month ago when they went to see a movie star- ring Gale loy,The Wham Girl fthe trouble started. Bud got carried away and he wrote the movie star, asking her to come to the prom, And she acceptsl CThey don't know how she needs a publicity breakll Bud has hastily written his regular date, Helen, that he has had an attack of the grippe and he ex- pects to have it until after the dance. But, so that the faculty won't get angry, Bud tries to take the publicity-needing Gale loy to the dance as his girl Helenfand then Helen arrives! Bud gets deeper and deeper in- to trouble, and the final happy solution that saves Bud from being expelled makes this what we firmly believe is the finest youthful comedy Broadway has ever made available to ama- tours. genial: QWJ Tl-IE EVE OF ST. MARK Maxwell Anderson With his parents warmly approving, Quizz plans to marry Ianet, the girl from a nearby farm, as soon as his year of training is over. Then comes Pearl Harbor and Quizz is trans- ferred to the Philippines, Ianet pluckily stands by at home. The home folk are de- termined to make the best of things, and they do so with courage and humor. There is humor on the fighting front, too, especially in the early part of the play in such scenes as the unexpected appearance of the tough sergeant, just as the men are giving a realis- tic imitation of his peculiarities. The tension of the play mounts as the action in the Philippines is presented. There, the grimy soldiers fight on and make the best of things in spite of inadequate supplies and the knowledge that their situation is hopeless. It is the Eve of St. Mark, the time when, legend tells, those who are about to die are able to see the faces of those they love, and talk with them.

Ianet, loving Quizz as she does, can only plead with him to save his own life and come home to her. Quizz realizes that the decision must be his own. The men are at first astounded that he thinks of remain- ing . . . then, one after another, each makes a similar decision. They stay! In a final scene of inspiring courage and beauty, wife see the farm home as Quizz's last letter is received, together with news of the heroic stand made by his group.

Ieananne Smith, head Ioan Lavergne, Donna Rethmel, Gloria Stock, Wanda Cooper, Eileen Ott Glafu Pwphewf Ladies and Gentlemen, here we are at the Famous International Baseball Park, situated in the heart of the thriving metropolis of De- fiance, Ohio. As we look around, waiting for the game to begin, we notice several noteworthy persons in the stands. We see society editor Susie Newcomb interviewing the famous models Luella Memmer, Lucille Thomas, Pat Kroeckel, and Ioan LaVergne, who are just back from a trip abroad, after spending the summer with soloists Donna Moore and Pat Barr, who are on a concert tour throughout Europe. Professor Brainsy Gallup is talking to Mr. Wolf Hall, now head of Institute Bring Your Worries to Me, a girls' school in Connecticut. But now let us turn our attention to. the game. We see Slap-Happy Bennie Wil- hem stepping into the pitcher's box, while Never Miss 'em Layman takes his position as catcher. Bennie warms up and lets go a fast one to Pat Hit 'ern Quick Barnhill, who swings mightily. The ball soars over the fence and Pat is off to a home run as artists Donna Hadley and Iackie Dysert sketch this strange spectacle. We interrupt you at this point to tell you that Aviators lim Wiseman, lerry Weaver, Bill Krutsch, and Dick Hasselschwert, who were trying to see the game from the air to save the cost of a ticket, have just banged into a two-year-old tree. We don't know whether they are hurt or not, but from here we can see Nurses Phil Newton, Kathleen Mack, Lois Seibert, Dorothy Louys, Ginnie Bowers, Barb McCarthy, Mary Wamser, and Gloria Stock running to the scene, closely followed by Dr. I Rex. Hubbard. Oh, we al- most forgot, Nurse Gerken has fainted and water boy Bob Marshall is throwing water on her. The crowd is getting out of order. Policemen Flash Behringer and Paul Behrin- ger quickly take charge. Since no one was injured critically and since the players are not yet ready to resume the game, let's take another glance at the crowd. We see Dick Analyze Your News Mason talking over the events of the day with his Catch it While it's Hot reporters, Ieananne Smith, Ioan Snyder, Donna Kimpel, loan Murphy, and Marge Beindorf. Along the sidelines we see Gym teachers Ruth Heils- horn and Valeria Browns, Home Ec teacher Mary Gallup, Math teacher Phil Wasserman, and Coaches Ray Fillman and Dick Hopkins. We also see those famous actresses Donna Barnett and Lola Bauer, now featured in the African Queens , Rosey Brady, featured in The Idle Secretary, and Iris Marckel, called by her intimate friends, The Blonde Zephyr, and actors Pony Strong Man Pixler, Bob Garfield McGill, Don Woo Woo Gearing, and that great box office appeal Ralph Rea- gon Schatzie. Much confusion is caused by the little Adams, little Beavers, little Ruth Smitties, lit- tle Heffys, little Hoppers, Knot grassl and lit- tle Walters, who are constantly getting in Referee Iunior Duerk's way, as he hastily tries to remove a carburetor which was de- posited on the field during the plane wreck. All Star Gene Derricotte gives out with a home run, and Sports Director Ralph Hutch- inson laments at the loss of another ball. Spectators Phil Zenz, Alice Shock, Mildred Wolfrum, Margaret Moore, Clara Weber, Ruthmae Van Cise, Grover Switzer, and George Squire, cheer because of this unex- pected change, but The Golden Voiced Politician Schlembach is booing all by him- self. Managers Bud Weisenburger, and Ern- est Schackow send Chuck Zachrich and Chiz Wahl into the game. ln the stands we can tell by the cheers that bowling champions BettyRymers,Marge Gessner, Arlene Roehrig, Donna Rethmel, and Bert Memmer are present. Also we see authors Nan Linhardt, loyce Hutchinson, and Betty Lang, discussing the game with sports critics Ralph Beardsley, Roger Moorehead, Leland McBride, Detroit Boff, Iohn Bond, and Harold Tittle. After the game, these celebrities go to the Burger Basket run by Lydia Englemann, Evelyn Gitter, Betty Hale, Helen Buckrnaster, Wanda Cooper, and Lois Duerk, while the younger generation gathers at the Dupont and Hohenberger's Hamburg House, where waitresses Betty Funk, Betty Highland, and Beatrice Kleinhen, try to satisfy customers such as Playwright Wilma Love, Librarian Martha Pfahlert, Accountant Iean Hench, Bowler Norm Herder, Pharmacists Lester En- sign and Margene Oller, Lawyers Iohn Hall and Tearle Hall, Inc., Economists Bill Rath, Bob Packard, Fuller Brush Men, Glen and lim Sandys, Politicians CThe first in the his- tory of the United Statesl Gertrude Schatz, Rose Marie Oelke, and Helen Rohlf, and the new publishers of How to Raise Chickens Ready to Serve Lyman Roehrig, Walter Oelfke, and Glen Carnahan.
