FOREWORD We, the staff of 1927, have endeavored to portray truthfully the interesting events that have taken place during the past year, so that as we look back upon our school days here, this book may be a reminder of all those great accomplishments of the Class of ’27. The Staff. CONTENTS Faculty Seniors Juniors Sophomores Freshmen Athletics Music Organizations Literary Humor Advertisements and Jokes SCHOOL SPIRIT The real object of school is divided into three divisions: physical. moral, and intellectual or educating of the body, soul, and mind. Only by keeping in mind these three is it possible to become educated harmoniously. To develop one of these and to neglect the other two will result in a situation that hinders the pupil affected; or to develop two of these and to neglect even one will produce a result that is unsatisfactory. The school that gives strict attention to the development of the body, soul, and mind is certain to gain a favorable school spirit, for it is wholly impossible to train the mind alone and expect the heart to be trained to its relation to the rights and duties of its owner and those of its owner’s associates. The word “spirit” means energy, enthusiasm, and courage. Without these three, no school can be successful. If this kind of a spirit is present, school will not lie monotonous for the students, and they will take an interest in their studies. If really sincere, they will be loyal and true to themselves as well as to their teachers and to the school as a whole. Athletics play a very important part in the activities of the school. The members of the football and basketball teams should be so interested in their work that they be present at every practice session and every game. Those who are not members of the team should show their loyalty by attending the games and by showing the team they are interested in the game. Even though conditions do not look favorable to you, do not give up. The poet gives us good advice in this line: “If by easy work you beat. Who the more will prize you Gaining victory from defeat— That’s the thing that tries you.” Page four Not only in the class room, hut in study hall, gymnasium, or practice for physical contests with other organizations of the same type, the teacher’s part is readily seen as the leader, who guides in morality, physical ability, and in mental development. The same amount of enthusiasm and loyalty that is present in the class room must he emphasized in the physical combats, and the same spirit which governs the successes or failures in the class room should govern in the same manner and spirit in physical feats or in association with other pupils. The attitude or feeling of each pupil toward all that constitutes the school, considered singly or grouped as one body, tells in a great measure the trend of the students. In this respect school is the play-ground which trains the child for life. The conduct of the child in school and his spirit for the school is often seen by the grown up individual, and his interests to society in general. Too many students get the impression that the teachers of the school are present only to make life unpleasant for them, which is surely the wrong impression Later in life, as the student looks back to those school days, his view-point has greatly changed, and he then sees what the real mission of the teacher was, in those days which seemed to unpleasant, and which now appear as the happiest in his life.

In bringing distinction to our school and city they have endeared themselves to the public. The same cool modesty which has characterized their achievements throughout the year was apparent in their most crucial contests. Page seven Page eight Page nine Faculty FACULTY MISS BESSIE A.

Par e fifteen ADIEU We're going to leave the old school, We've come to the end of it all, And we hope that those that come after us Will not leave its banner fall. The four short years passed away Like a flash in a powder pan. We now strike out for the big highway Where you have to be a man. We still have a debt to Alma Mater, Unrecorded but. nevertheless, A debt in the deepest sense of the word— It can only be paid with success. An example of sturdy devotion is seen When some fellows stay year after year, They stick around, not because they are mean, But because Dover High is so dear. And now on our Chemistry, Latin, and French, On our basketball, football, and track, On the pains and joys of scholastic career We turn an unwilling back. So we'll do our best in the struggle. And try our best for fame; But we’ll always remember old Dover Hi And hold it an honored name. Ralph Buehler 17.

Vice President ......... Secretary and Treasurer ...Ralph Buehler William Stieber ...Verna Mosher SENIOR CLASS HISTORY Through four years we have looked forward with great expectancy to our graduation day, but as that day approaches, a touch of regret is mingled with our joy and we remember only the joyful moments and the happy fellowships which ripened into lasting friendships, as we take leave of dear old Dover Hi. We embarked upon the sea of higher education as timid Freshmen, one hundred and thirty-five in all. At our initial meeting we elected Donald Johns, president; Florence Pfeiffer, vice-president; Marian Ricksecker, secretary and treasurer; Ruth Springer, historian; class colors. Blue and Silver; class flower, American Beauty Rose; and class motto, “Veritas vos liberabit,” meaning “The truth will set you free.” A very successful marshmallow toast and party constituted our social activities; and we entered into the athletic field with a will, determined to do everything else in a like manner. No Freshmen were ever more ambitious than were we, yet we longed for the time when we could call ourselves Sophomores. With an enrollment of eighty-five students, we began our Sophomore year and elected Dave Toomey, president; Ruby Field, vice-president; Yerna Mosher, secretary; Marian Ricksecker, Treasurer; and re-elected our historian. Not being socially inclined, we merely repeated the activities of our first year, not without success, however. Again we took ur place in athletics, furnishing men for both football and basketball. In our third year we were beyond ridicule—we were dignified and capable Juniors. As such, we elected Ralph Buehler, president; Marian Ricksecker, vice-president; Wilma Ziegler, secretary; Carrie Schooley. treasurer; and re-elected our historian. At a later meeting we elected Florence Pfeiffer, Junior editor of the annual. Our only social function was the Junior-Senior Prom, given in honor of the class of '26. and which, we can justly say, was the most delightful ever given in Dover Hi. And now our Senior year, the significance of which we can scarcely comprehend. After re-electing our president and historian, we elected Bill Stieber, vice-president, and Verna Mosher, secretary and treasurer. We also elected a competent annual staff to assist the editor-in-chief. Outstanding achievements in our Senior social career were a marshmallow toast and a masquerade party, which received hearty response from the class. Taking into consideration the previous three years, we have contributed the following men either to football, basketball, or baseball, and in many instances all three of them : Trubey, Buehler, Schlundt, Yorkievitz, Rearick, Thomas, Wright. Hoopingarner, Fountz, Berquist. Richards, and Deveny. However, as we prepare to leave our Alma Mater, we pledge ourselves to be her loyal “backers” in the years to come, regardless of what they may hold for her or for us. We can do no less, for she has rendered us an invaluable service. We, therefore, fervently hope that our influence has been a decided benefit and not a detriment to the school which shall ever remain a hallowed part of us. Ruth Springer. ’27-D. IT. S. Page thirty-one 1 SENIOR CLASS PROPHECY On our graduation day 1 exacted a promise from all members of my class to send me their addresses on June 1. 1933. What my intention was then. 1 do not recall, but true to their word 1 received all of their addresses on or about June 1. 1933. Since graduating, 1 have followed the life of a camera-woman for several years and now I am vice-president of the First National Picture Corporation. Upon receiving these various addresses, I noticed that they were widely scattered upon the face of the earth. Then 1 set my brain to working and came to the conclusion that I would like t . visit each of my old class-mates, and, with the aid of my camera and husband. to film them in the occupation of their present-day lives. This 1 set about doing, and now 1 am ready to present to you the film entitled, “Class of '27. The first scene is laid in a New Orleans Rexall Drug Store, where we see the owner, Mr. K. Wagner, selling Dr. Miles Pain Pills, while his wife, formerly Margaret Weinsz, is selling sodas and popular song hits, both composed by her talented husband. From New Orleans we are transfered to the great metropolis of New York City. We see the twinkling of toes behind the footlights of the Zieg-feld Follies, and we recognize the foremost dancer as Miss Mary Wasmer, known to the theatrical world as Mile. Puvlowski. Then the scene shifts to the gigantic stadium at Denver where we see a game for the worlds’ football championship in progress. The captain of the all-American team is Ted Yorkievitz, and his half-back is Doyle Hoopingarner. Their competent manager, whom we observe at the sidelines, is Glenn Goodrich. The game is over and Ted’s team is the victor by a touchdown .thanks to the excellent training he and Doyle received under “Silent Shrewd Joe” during High School Days. Next we see stretch after stretch of plain and roving herds of cattle, through which many cowboys are moving languidly, in the heat of the sun. As we look at the ranch house a man and woman appear and as we scan their faces, we recognize them as Donald Schneider and Eva Richardson-Schneider. They approach a man in cowboy costume, none, other than Ralph Winkler, who is their trusted foreman. Mr. Schneider told me that he employed Roy Smutz and Lewis Walter as cowboys in the summer, as this was the manner in which they spent their summer vacations from their teaching positions in the American Agricultural College at San Francisco. This scene is laid in Hawaii where we see Fredie Englemann and Ruby Field-Englemann in their home near their pineapple plantation. Freddie is pounding on a typewriter putting the finishing touches on his latest novel, while Ruby watches him with adoring eyes, and offers helpful suggestions. Ruby told me that the Hawaiians look to Freddie as we look to f’o.f c thirty-two Zane Grey, and that the folks back home should not fail to read his book when it is completed. I promised, not knowing what I took upon myself. Now we catch a glimpse of a huge steel structure being erected over a mighty stream. It is a mammoth bridge being built across the Amazon River at its widest point. We see an imposing looking figure in the distance who, by his actions, reveals himself to be the chief-engineer of this project. As he nears us we are astonshed to discover that it is Jim Wible. After quite a lengthy conversation with him, he reveals that he is leading a bachelor's life and finds it quite interesting, which statement, you will observe, sounds like the Jim of old. From South America, the scene changes to Calcutta, India, where we observe a sign hung over a store front on one of the busiest streets, reading: Painless Dentist—Mrs. Marjorie Hudson-Von Kaenel.” I entered this establishment upon my visit there, and beheld Marjorie extricating teeth as well as yells of pain from a poor benighted Hindu. She told me that her husband was a missionary among the Hindu people and was very much inter ested in his work. It is said that time has wrought wonders, and it certainly has when it makes a missionary out of Howard Von Kaenel. Now we are in gay Paris, where numerous electric signs inform us that Bill Stieber has become quite famous. Here we see the interior of one of his four haberdasheries, and there is William himself, known to the Parisians Monsieur Guillaume. As you have undoubtedly noticed, he is garbed in the latest fashions for men of which he, himself, is the creator and the perfect model for his creations. Also, he is wearing his habitual grin, which changes to an expression of pleasure and adoration as he observes a little French poodle enter through the street door, followed by a fashionably dressed woman whom he introduced to me as his wife, but whom I had already recognized as Evelyn Hostetler, which latter fact docs not deny the former. In this scene, as we look to the right, we see a figure running and presumably chasing himself among the daisies and other wild flowers, with some kind of a weapon in his hand. The weapon, upon closer examination, happens to be a net on a pole, which makes the man’s occupation evident. He is either catching, or trying to catch, bugs or butterflies or some other eluding insect. Yes, you are right, it is Tommie Thomas, himself, and he is trying to catch a certain specie of butterfly for Marian’s collection. (Marian, by the way. is Tommie’s wife, and without a doubt, the ruler of the Thomas household, as is evidenced by her husband's occupation; for, for what other earthly reason would Bill Thomas chase insects?) His real occupation, however, is “cub” reporter on the “St. Louis Times.” On our way back to Europe, I took this picture of Bertha Burkhart and Thelma Dickey, who are on their way to that continent as buyers for Sears, Roebuck and Company. They are very high-salaried women, bv the way. Another class-mate of ours was on the boat, as you see by the following picture, or perhaps you do not know her, because of her peculiar dress, she is Louise Von Allman, who is traveling as the president of a woman’s club who are going to Turkey to help the Turkish women gain the right of Page thirty-three suffrage. Her private secretary is Verna Brewer, with whom 1 had quite a long talk, and who was dressed in the same mannish manner. This man you recognized as Ralph Yoder, without a doubt, for he hasn’t changed in the slightest except for an increase in stature and grey matter. This picture shows him in Venice where he was at that time getting data for his history of southern Europe. Here you see him with Walter Rice, who is studying portrait painting in that famous old city, and the two are very good friends. Both men are creating a furor among the women In that city with their talents, mannerisms, and handsomeness. Yes, I was surprised, too. when 1 heard of it. This scene is a cold one without a doubt. The ice-hound ship you see, is under the command of its owner, Ralph Buehler, who is conducting some explorations around the North Pole, while his first-mate. Wilbert Jentes, teaches the Eskimo girls to do the “Charleston. 'Phis trip, however, is just a whim, and his real occupation is manufacturer of United States Naval Supplies, and consequently, he is wealthy enough to foresake business for chasing the North Star and polar bears. Florence Pfeiffer has become one of the leading citizens of Dover but she recently changed her name to Florence Pfeiffer-Carruthers; and she is known throughout the country for her splendid editorials and articles on “Why Schools Should Support Their Annual Staffs.” The accompanying picture shows her driving their new Dodge Sedan. This young lady in the smock is Kathryn Fuller, of whose fame you have all heard. Her chief painting is “Madonna and Child,” a copv of which you have all seen, and the original is now hanging in a place of honor in Le Louvre in Paris. Contrary to expectations she is not married. Perhaps we can understand this when we realize that her eye is trained to see only that which is beautiful. The handsome young man in the Packard Roadster, is Maurice Zollar, himself. FT is aggressive spirit has taken him beyond the limits of the Olds-mobile, and he is now the president of the Packard Auto Company. They says he has an awful way of securing your bankroll in exchange for a car manufactured by his company. Of course his position does not call for any sales on his part but it is his hobby and if he suggests to you that you ought to buy a car, leave while your bankroll is intact. His private secretary is Mildred Maurer, and she is wearing a beautiful diamond ring on her left hand, presented to her by a person whose identity she refused to reveal. The Lab twins, Esther and Edith, are running twin launches on the Tuscarawas River, for the pleasure of any who care to see the beauties of nature east of Dover. They are very competent steersmen, and 1 assure you that the ride is enjoyable, as you can see for yourself by this picture of the twin boats as they glide up the river, opposite the Stone Quarry. The white figure on each of the Ixmts, are the twins in their white sailor garb. This next picture reveals an astonishing fact. Arthur Schlundt has married Ruth Brown, hut neither of them have followed in the footsteps of Page thirty-four their fathers but Art is editor of the “The Xew York Herald and his paper has the largest circulation of any daily newspaper in the world. Mrs. Schlundt assists her husband by conducting a column of “Advice to the Love-lorn” in his paper. They say her advice is really very helpful. Another member of our class has an important part in making this paper successful, and that member is Rena Erickson who is a well-known cartoonist of the section known as “Ma and Pa.” The following picture shows her in her artist’s smock and flowing tie. The stately building you see in this picture is the Marine Hospital in Washington, D. C.. and now you are looking at one of its competent nurses in the person of Miss Catherine Beller. One of her patients is Sam Ream, an ensign in the navy, who was recently injured while protecting American interests in Italy during an uprising there. By Miss Beller’s smile we take it that she finds nursing marines a very pleasant occupation. When Sam is able to be out, his coat will look like a pincushion, as a result of all the medals he has won for his bravery. Carrie Schooley and Viola Maurer are the proprietors of this beautiful building, of which all three floors are devoted to making women more beautiful, by means of face lifting, curling, (permanent and non-permanent), massaging, manicuring, and a lot more artistic touches guaranteed to make the femine species more alluring. This shows Miss June Waring broadcasting from station XYZ, at Cleveland, and she is hailed all over America by radio fans for her amusing monologues, some in brogue, and some otherwise. Her traveling companion and advisor, is Miss Pauline Schmacher. who is somewhat of an artist, herself, and in case Miss Waring cannot fulfill the engagement, Pauline fills it very competently. This picture shows them in the broadcasting room. This is a copy portrait of Albert Moore, who, as you all know, is a Senator from Ohio, and who has made himself a name which stands out prominently in our country’s affairs. Just recently he has succeeded in submitting a bill, which provides for the establishment of a home for lost kittens in Ohio. Arthur Linard is his secretary and Edna Minard is his stenographer. This is ample testimony to his prominence, for not every Senator requires a secretary and a stenographer. Several of his fiery speeches have been printed and probably in the course of a few years some poor literature students will be forced to dissect them, and re-dissect them. The gridiron pictured here belongs to Harvard University, and that pile of arms and legs represents the first team on top and the “scrubs” on the bottom. The man with the broad grin on his face, is the coach. Herman Rearick, and still known as “Bup,” even to the team and to the University at large. Coach “Bup” holds a position which we all knew he would hold some day by his marvelous ability to shine in athletics. One of his able helpers is Vivian Youngen, who is assistant coach; but his real assistant is his wife, formerly Miss Verna Mosher, who can always be seen as well as heard on the sidelines during a game in which Harvard is a participant. Now the age-old pyramids of ancient Egpyt rise before our eyes. Two Americans have succeeded in excavating portions of one of the oldest of Pape thirty-five these, and their discoveries have made them wealthy and have enlightened the world concerning mysteries which have puzzled men for centuries. These two famous men are Sam Finley and Otto Surnlby, who, as the next picture reveals, have become handsomely bronzed, and the target for many a feminine tourist. We now see the interior of a studio and are taken back by the beauty of the model, whom we recognize as the internationally-known beauty. Mill Dorothy Foster. She is sitting for a portrait worthy to be called the “Second Mona Lisa”; but, who is this artist who is capable of portraying the beautiful Dorothy? Undoubtedly, it is Walter Polen, and there are rumors that he is more than professionally interested in Miss Foster. Here is the front view of the largest of the J. C. Penny branch stores, and the man standing near the imposing entrance is the manager, Mr. Henry Hamilton. On the other side of the entrance is the traveling inspector employed by this same firm in the person of Howard Elders. This store is located on Fifth Avenue, Winfield. Ohio. Earl Diefenbaugh always had a “weakness” for Chemistry, and here we find him buried in a tangle of test tubes and other debris in his laboratory in his private residence near a suburb of Cleveland. He is nationally known for many important discoveries and inventions which will be added to the already too many, which unfortunate students are forced to solve. Now we are witnessing a lively tennis match for the American championship. The contestants are Miss Ruth Berry and Miss Ruth Dell, and since I am unable to show you the end of the game 1 will satisfy your curiosity by saying that Ruth won. Here is a reproduction of a newspaper clipping containing a picture of Harold Marsh, and stating that as a surgeon ; he has attained the pinacle of fame for he has just successfully completed an operation which has never before been performed, and which will revolutionize the medical world. His two faithful nurses who made possible this marvelous feat are the Misses Josephine Streb and Ethel Boyer, and Dr. Marsh places most of the credit upon them. The next reveals something at which we are not at all astonished, ft shows the author of “The Revised History of the World” whom you have probably guessed is Phoebe Wassem. After years of research she has completed three volumes of this wonderful work which is to be added to the rest of the students’ burden. The secretary and confidante is Miss Virginia Maybaugh, who, according to Phoebe, has been a real help and comrade in her work. Last, but certainly not least, is Conrad Hisrich’s fate, of which you are all acquainted. This shows him at his desk, busily at work, for as the Secretary of State, he must necessarily be so. Now our minds are at rest for we have learned what our former classmates are doing and not one of them has proved a failure which is just as it should be, taking into consideration that we belong to that illustrious class of ’27. —R.

It echoes and reechoes and still the vibrations loudly proclaim the honor which its members have brought to Roosevelt Hi. as well as to the Junior Class. In the premier sport, football, ’28 has been represented by four men. Captain “Ike” Trubey. Frank Slaughter, Clarence Funkhauser, and “Happy” Glover. A follower of Dover’s miracle team of the past season will ask in awe what “Coach would have done without the Juniors. Basketball equally proves the worth of “Ike” Trubey , Frank Slaughter, and “Snub” Braun to the High quintet. There’s another one whose worth cannot be forgotten in the field of athletics, cheer leader Max Domer. But this class cannot lay all its claims of fame to athletic activities. What would we do without our efficient president, George Myers; our capable vice-president, Eleanore Weinsz; our dependable secretary, Oneda Jentes; or our accurate treasurer, “Midge” Kaltenbaugh? This combination of students has managed our class affairs to perfection during the time of their office holding. They made it possible for us to enjoy a party at Franklin Inn, November nineteenth, and before long will start the wheels turning which we hope will maturate into one of the best Proms held for many a year. Our scholastic standing is high. We are also well represented in the Girl Reserves and Hi-Y clubs. These are the facts we strive to maintain until we hold that diploma in our hand which we are now earnestly aiming for. Ruth Wible-’28.

We’ve now become great Soph’mores, Who harbor but one fear,— That some of us will stay so For more than this one year. Charles Reese is our president, K. Guerin’s his substitute. Anne Scott keeps the records, And handles the money, to boot. We gave plenty of stars in football, Among them Contini and Torp; No less in the fray were these fighters Than ‘‘Red” Grange and famous Jim Thorpe. An ace on the gridiron is he, A star on the basket ball floor; He is ours this year, Bus Andreas, And on him our hopes do soar. Two Johns we had also in football, A Gephart and Shields, for our fame, Johnny Gephart as fast as you find them, John Shields getting there, every game. “Bob” Smith is a true basket shooter, “Barney” Schwartz is no slouch in a game.

There are two who haven’t been mentioned Who have done good work in the past; Bob Smith is our athletic manager, And C. Reese is as cheer leader cast.

It would have been difficult to find better leaders although not all their commands were obeyed. Some of the passengers became excellent seamen, but others were obliged to recover from seasickness. When half the voyage was completed, a few took a boat back to port. Early in the year we called a meeting at which the following officers were elected: Dale Dickey, president: Viola Loshark, vice-president; and June Brady, secretary and treasurer. At a later meeting we chose black and coral as our class colors; the sweet pea as our flower: and Seize the opportunity,” as our motto. On January eighth our first party was given at the Franklin Inn. A good program was followed by games and dancing, accompanied by our “Freshman Orchestra.” Many of our members gained athletic prowess by their skill in either basketball or football. We may name among these: Beittier, Low, Lahmers, Dessecker, and Rimer. It does not require much space to record our activities, but saving “little, but mighty” might apply very appropriately to this, our Freshman class. Dorothy Fuller-’30. Page forty-eight Athletics Page forty-nine COACH JOE HERMANN Another good season lias firmly convinced the school and the Dover public that Joe Hermann is pretty nearly the ideal coach. He knows the game, lie knows material, both on his own squad and on that of the opposition, he wins and holds the respect of his players, and he persistently refuses to talk his head off during or between games. Some coaches are optimists before a game and pessimists afterward. He reverses this process considerably to the delight of his followers and supporters. It may be noticed that those coaches who tell glowingly of their prospects before a game are usually the ones who go around hunting for alibis after the game is over. Mr. Hermann’s predictions before a game never resemble pre-election bunk intended to back up party supporters who are getting weak in the knees. As a result of this conservatism, he never needs to hunt for excuses after the fourth quarter has been played. Since he made no extravagant prophecies as to how the game was going to come out, there is no need to look for unexpected, unimagined, and unusual obstacles that bobbed up and caused defeat. Athletic games are supposed to be won by the conduct of players on the field and not by means of debates and controversies outside—or inside in the presence of a hot stove. The support accorded to our coach is as nearly unanimous as may ever be expected . Everybody likes a winner, but not every game can be won. What is needed everywhere is a type of sportsmanship which will support a losing team or one which runs into the hardest kind of luck or misfortune. Only a following that has once experienced success without becoming pifflicated with it is in position to appreciate the other kind of sportsmanship and support. While this is the type of training every community needs, this one is not anxious for the experience and is not likely to get it while Joe Hermann does the headwork for the team. A host of loyal supporters hopes for his return next year. Page fifty COACH JOE HERMANN Page fifty-one Wayne J. Fisher A capable faculty manager, is the man who looks after various details of the games. Naturally, he gets less of the illuminating glory than the coach and the team, but he is necessary just the same. Mr. Fisher is ideal in this respect, attending to his own affairs without having a tendency to try regulating the solar system and our national government, as faculty managers sometimes have a tendency to do. Mr. Fisher has contributed his share to the work and his tireless efforts are appreciated.

Page fifty-fov• “Ike” Trubey Captained the team through a most successful season besides playing center, doing the punting, and much of the passing. His rare and inspiring smile will he missed hereafter, but his trusty foot may be missed still more. There are not many things in a football game that “Ike” cannot do well, and he is able to tell the other fellow how these should be done. Pac e fifty-five “Farmer” Dessecker His nickname does not refer to his place of residence, but to the manner in which he plows through the opposition and sows consternation among all who try to make the going hard. Although this is his first year in the high school, he was a regular guard practically the entire season. “Nick” Buehler A fullback to make any team proud. He played in the backfield of the Dover team for three years, previous to which time he prepped in backyard work in another school in the county. It might seem a marvel that so much football material could be packed into so small a package, and he is no midget either. “Bub” Rearick Consistent quarterback throughout the season. Steady, heady, and reliable at all times. Always in the game in the same old way, never offering an alibi for anything. He can be hurt, but always comes up smiling. In the matter of punishment he is a satisfied customer—at least he always comes back for more. “Funky” Funkhauser A tackle worthy of any preparatory team in the country. Consistency is his middle name. He is always there when wanted and knows what to do. He did not play football during all his years in high school, but he will from this on. He is of the type that benefits football and that is benefited by the game. “Wally” Lahmers A substitute backfield player who has just served his first year. He is of the type whose presence in a line-up excites more joy in the home fans than in the opposing players. His record for the year is an excellent one and he promises more for the future. Page fifty-six “Bus” Andreas A backfield regular who surprised everybody including himself by some of his sterling work. In a left-footed sort of way he proved himself able to go through holes not visible to the naked eye. Bus has another year of usefulness before him in the football line. “Curley” Contini lie is an end, and he justifies the name the same as he does his nickname. It may not be his fault that his hair has a permanent wave, but he is responsible for being a good player the first year out. Something very disastrous will have to happen to keep him out in the future. “Roy” Torp He played an end for his first year. He played it well and the end that he played could not be called a loose end or a “weak-end.” Roy’s play is consistent and his usefulness will increase with the years. He already has a good start. “Hoopie” Hoopingarner Played utility roles on the line, but did these sketches often enough to be called a regular. He is the type of person nice to have sticking around for emergency purposes and such situations often emerge on a football team. Sub-regulars who never pout when they do not play every minute are the joy of a coach’s heart. “Ted” Yorkievitz Tackle and emergency center, though he is good anywhere. Any team should be proud to have a dozen like him. He prepped at Bedford and did two years’ work here. Like everybody else who is doing his last year in the Dover high school, he will be severely missed. Paga fifty-seven “Hank Slaughter A good baekfield man who joined the team in mid-season from Minerva. He did not have an opportunity to show all his wares, hut he showed enough to make everybody glad that he has one more year on the team. He is capable of doing about everything a football player is supposed to do. “Bill Beitner This was Rill’s first year and he did heavyweight starring at both tackle and end. Rill likes the game and the game likes him. lie is a credit to the game and the part he takes is always creditable to him. He is not a mechanical player, hut has ability to do things without being told. “Dick Glover A guard of parts. He is growing in the game the same as he is growing in other ways, lie is rapidly overcoming a certain complex which caused him to get stage-fright at times. And this has almost entirely disappeared. He has a year yet to give and he will give it freely. Page fifty-eight “Art” Schlundt This is Art’s first and last year in football. He did not know what fun it was until his fourth year in school. He proved himself a good man anywhere in the line, and everybody joins him in regretting that his first year must he his last. Let us hope he does not put everything off too long. “Johnny” Gephart A speedy backfield man who played his second year. All that is necessary is to address a ball properly and Johnny will guarantee safe and speedy delivery. Though he is not so heavy as he will be in time, his lack of size is not noticeable in the general confusion of our national game. THE DOUBLE A MEN Baker, T)e Angleis, Mumaugh, Shephard, Shields, and Von Kaenel received A letters for being substitutes who did not get quite enough service to he called regulars. But the brief and brilliant past they have had assures them of a longer and more brilliant future.

When the season closed following the Thanksgiving Day game, it was found that Coach Hermann’s peerless aggregation had completed a campaign without a parallei in the history of the school. The team was ably captained by “Ike” Trubey, who with Yorkievitz and Hoopingarner will be absent from the line next year. In addition to these great losses to the team, Ruehler and Rearick, both backfield stars, will be absent. And yet. despite these losses, we have an abiding faith that Coach Hermann may have an equally good team with which to maintain our hopes and turn them into pleasing realities.

Bottom row, left to right: Faculty Manager Mr. Fisher, Ralph Buehler, Ray Low, Art Schlundt, Captain Bup Rearick, Student Manager Sam Ream. Page sixty-two “BUP” REARICK CAPTAIN “Bup” Rearick, guard or forward, who ably led the team through the past season. He is one of the surest and most capable passers ever seen in action among high school athletes. He is always in the game and always giving his best to the team, and example which is inspiring to his followers. He was placed at guard on the All-Tournament team for Eastern Ohio. Page sixty-three “Ike Trubey, guard, of the stone-wall variety that gets his share oi buckets from action or from the foul line. Although apparently built for durability rather than speed, he has surprised a number of his opponents by showing a fine exhibit of both. He was named an All Ohio Guard. “Nick” Buehler, a first-string substitute forward or guard. He is so fast that he appears to be in several places at once, and is always in trim, mentally and physically, to give his best, and this he has contributed in a number of games the past season. “Sucker” Low, forward, another first-year man who has shown a rare combination of speed and durability. Though not so heavy as he would he if he weighed more, he has more than held his own against the strongest of opposition and is a flash against ordinary teams. “Bill” Beitner, guard or forward, a first-year man who has shown everything that a basketball player should possess. Opponents never come in sizes too big or too rough for Bill. He has been high-score man in a number of games, and if he improves with the years before him, he will out class every other guard in the state; he has something on the majority of them now. He was named an All Eastern-Ohio Guard, and also an All Ohio Guard. I‘age sixty-)cur “Art” Schlundt, another first-string substitute for any position needing a tenant. A team could be made out of five players like him and be a well-balanced organization capable of holding its own among the average. Art forgets all his other troubles when he plays, but brings plenty to the opposition. Manager “Sam” Ream Sam outgrew the team after years of valiant service and this year gave it the benefit of his business acumen and farsightedness. He proved as aggressive in managerial lines as he was once when a football tackle. “Hank” Slaughter, center or forward, an excellent all-round man who does his share of whatever work is to be done in the game. His scoring average is high and his value to any team is unquestioned. If he has any weak points about his person or his play they are not noticeable to the ordinary observer. “Snub” Braun, center or forward, a guard for the greater part of la ‘ season. He plays any position on the team capably, and if there were moie than three different positions, he could probably play any of them well. He is elusive and sure, and is one of the hardest men to stop. He has penetrated the best defense for high scores in almost every game in which he has participated. He was named an AU-Eastern-Ohio Center and also. All Ohio Center. Page sixty-five “Yorky” Yorkievitz, played a guard position whenever his health permitted. He is a speedy and accurate passer and a dribbler of rare parts, he can also go higher on a toss-up than the majority of those who are taller. He is the type of player who always seems to have something in reserve. Smith, Rimer, and Swartz are among the number of those who furnished training to the regulars at practice sessions and who occasionally broke into games.

This afforded an opportunity for the Dover team to measure its strength against other teams in the district in a more satisfactory manner than had been afforded during the regular season. Playing in conditions as nearly neutral as could be made, the team justified the faith of its supporters and demonstrated its fitness as a competent representative for Eastern Ohio at the state finals. Tournaments of the type to which these belong are excellent tests for athletics. They are possible only under proper organization and have gone a long way toward justifying the claims that firm adherence to the rules of the State Association is the best for all concerned. The real test of a team or of an individual player is the ability displayed in strong competition and trying circumstances . These could hardly have been stronger and more trying than at New Concord, and the manner in which the coach and the team arose to the occasion reflected great credit upon their resourcefulness and staying powers. At this writing the state final is still in the offing, but whatever the result of that, the record of the team at the district final was splendid and the fans, for the accomplishment is enduring.

These boosters tendered a fine reception to the team on its return from New Concord. They gave assurances of continued confidence in the team no matter what the future results would happen to be, and this assurance is the kind which is needed. Support of the kind which amounts to a threat as to what will happen unless the bacon is brought home is of the reverse sort, making athletes nervous and incapable of giving the best account of themselves. Athletes, like everybody else, like to feel they will be respected and admired no matter what their best efforts will result in or bring about. Any community is judged by its attitude toward its sports and its support of its teams. If this support is narrow, selfish, and fanatical, not a very good opinion will be formed of the place so far as its reputation for fair dealing is concerned. Strangers visiting a place like to see what goes on when a crucial or critical game is being played. After watching the reactions they are in position to know how far the community may be trusted and how well the spirit of fairness prevails. The effect of an athletic attitude, or an attitude toward athletics, is far deeper and more important than the majority assume. Dover fans are fair—at least the vast majority of them are, and the rest are improving under the influence of good examples which have been set. The composite motto of the city is, “We want the best team to win, and we want fair treatment for visiting players and fans or other supporters.” On behalf of the team, the athletic management, and the students, we desire to thank the Dover boosters for their consistent, generous, unstinted, and unswerving support throughout the past seasons. May it continue to grow with the years, and may it continue to increase in its attitude in favor of fairness to all concerned. Page sixty-eight THE STATE TOURNAMENT Dover won the state tournament by displaying a consistent variety of almost unbeatable basket ball which proved a revelation to spectators and competing teams alike. Some critics on the sidelines were unkind and unsophisticated enough to say the team's methodical precision was due to stage-fright, but were later convinced, against their wills in many instances, that all such deliberation was the result of a carefully preconceived plan. The hundreds of Dover rooters, many of whom suspended respirational activities at times, did not act as the players did. however. Several did things they had not intended to do; they had no preconceived plan of action and would not have followed it with any degree of consistency even if it had been planned. Yet the loyalty of the rooting fans constituted a part of the final triumph, and the coolness of the players seemed to result from the high temperature of those who came to root and remained to celebrate. Our players have caught the spirit of their loyal followers, and many of these followers have learned much of sportsmanship from the fine showing made by players while in the heat of competition. There is one big moment in the life of everybody, some persons, of course, faring better than others in the allotment of large moments. And to every community comes its largest triumph or most glorious interval. It is but fair to say that the coach and team at Columbus gave Dover its greatest thrill thus far experienced. It is to be hoped that moment of proud attainment may be lived over again in the future, and that other teams will compete and win as did the sterling team of this year. Hut should this never come, we at least appreciate the thrill which all so thoroughly celebrated and enjoyed.

His teams in all sports have been far above the average and on some occasions have performed almost the unusual. A glimpse back over the various seasons since Coach Joe Hermann has been with us reveals the fact that out of a total of seventeen games played in football for the two years Dover has won 13 tied 2 and lost only two. Out of a total of 44 basketball games Coach Hermann’s teams have won 37 contests, an almost impossible feat for high school teams. These records it must be borne in mind were made against the best opposition in the State. Baseball although a somewhat minor sport in Dover High School has also had its share of success. One season only has elapsed since Hermann took charge but out of it came 11 victories and only one defeat. Although we all realize that Dover teams cannot go on forever winning as many games as in the past, we are not dubious over the outcome of future seasons for Dover High School as long as Joe Hermann is at the helm. His two years of Coaching at Orrville were just as successful as his last two at Dover, having been undefeated there in football in 1924, undefeated in Baseball in 1924 and winning 15 out of 19 basketball games. Let us hope Coach Hermann will be with us again next year and through a losing or winning season we will be behind him. In Appreciation IN APPRECIATION: Dr. Downey. Dr. Keller. Dr. Davis. For medical services rendered our Football and Basketball squads, which were cheerfully given free of charge.

A girl who trains systematically, plays joyously, and conserves her fine energy and vitality is honoring her Alma Mater cjuite as much as she who plays in highly organized games with outside teams for the so-called championship honor of her school. Our program of Physical Education is for the fullest possible development of the physical body along with spirit of good play. We play for relaxation. We play for a realization of our inner richness and color. We play that we may have moments when the unplanned purposes of life may have their say and when the unused powers of our mind may exercise themselves. Day by day we have improved in our exercises. Our knees do not knock so loudly as they did the first week we were on the floor. The underweights are gaining and the overweights are losing. Wre girls play games during part of the gym period, and it is great sport to see the enthusiasm displayed by various teams. In addition to the usual gymnastics, marching, calisthenics, and games considerable emphasis is laid on the study of posture and the instruction of the student in what is coming to be known as body mechanics and corrective gymnastics. Pep means Poise, Efficiency, Peace. Pep. the expressive little word, stands for poise, pluck, peace, power, punch, patience, purpose, so far as P’s are concerned, and Pep, likewise, means efficiency, enthusiasm, endurance example, and experience. Pep is the foe of worry and the friend of happiness. Physical Education receives due reward for instilling in us those worthy qualities which are expressed in that small word, Pep. In these classes, some heretofore hidden athletic material has been discovered and brought out. HURRAH FOR PHYSICAL ED! Page seventy-four MR. L. H. ALEXANDER Mr. Alexander lias completed another year of faithful and untiring work for Dover Hi. With each succeeding year he brings more glory to the school by his excellent music department. His school band has never had an equal in the history of Dover schools and his Girls’ Glee Club, Boys Glee Club, Choruses, and High School Orchestra are a mark of distinction, 'fhe musical department of this High School is fast becoming an object of civic pride and this attainment is due only, as said before, to the ability of its instructor. It is the sincerest hope of everyone affiliated with the school that Mr. Alexander will be retained indefinitely so that he may bring more honor to Dover High School. Page seventy-five GIRLS’ GLEE CLUB BOYS’ GLEE CLUB Page seventy-six HIGH SCHOOL ORCHESTRA Our High School Orchestra is worthy of all the fame and praise it has achieved during the years. Its size has now been increased to forty pieces and is under the very able direction of Mr. Alexander. The orchestra has always taken part in all of the entertainments and High School plays. An annual concert together with the many musical attractions which are much to the satisfaction and pleasure of the audience are given by this group of fine musicians. Page severity-seven D. H. S. CHORUS The High School Chorus, under the supervision of Mr. L. H. Alexander, has grown rapidly within the past four years, the work of this year surpassing that of any other year. 1 he annual concerts presented by the chorus are high spots in each year’s musical activities, and the general public has acquired the habit of looking forward to them in a spirit of joyous anticipation.

The membership was more than doubled, tbe total roster now being thirty-two. During the year the club staged a play “Always in Trouble” both here and at Millersburg and operated a booth at the street fair. These two enterprises proved to be the most profitable and a goodly sum of money was realized from the projects. The club was represented at all of the conferences and at the summer training camp. Paul Mumaugh and Bill Stieber were the fellows chosen to attend Camp Nelson Dodd during the summer and Charles Reese. Robert Smith, Russell Lentz, Paul Mumaugh, Maurice Zollars, Ralph Buehler, Bill Stieber. and Secretary Hedger of the Y. M. C. A. were sent to the Lima Conference. The club showed plainly the good effects of these conventions. Secretary George Hedger and Faculty Advisor W. J. Fisher proved to be very capable leaders and without them the club could not have functioned as it did. Both of these men were ever ready to serve or to advise the fellows on any matter needing the assistance of and older person. The club is also indebted to the various speakers who met with the boys and gave some good advice. The officers did their best to put the local chapter on an equal basis with the other great clubs of Ohio and have accomplished much to this end.

Marshall Page eighty-three THE SQUARE SHOOTER Under a gray autumn haze and with a cold sun casting its last rays, a most picturesque sight was furnished in the stadium of the Le Mure University. The team under Coach Stuart was completing two weeks of preliminary practice and were substituting a strenuous scrimmage. Time after time the first team flung its vicious attacks against the “scrubs”, but just as viciously did the hated “scrubs” repel their rushes. In fact, they had more than held their own and the ball was now on the varsity’s ten yard line. The second team’s success that afternoon lay in one man—“Biff” Hendricks, the plunging, battering, Sophomore full-back. He was a tower of strength, both on the offense and the defense and was continually bringing grief upon his adversaries. Now with the ball on the ten-yard line, he heard his signal barked by the peppy little quarter who was determined to make the coveted score on the touted varsity. “Biff” tore through for six yards leaving the ball on the four-yard line with one down to take it across. In the “huddle” they decided to have him try the end since the varsity would surely be expecting another plunge. On the play that followed “Biff” easily skirted the right end. giving the “scrubs” a hard earned victory. The cheers of the winners nearly drowned the sound of the coach’s whistle as he ordered them off the field. The second team’s high spirits were very appropriate for the times are few and far between when the “scrubs” can boast a victory over the first team. One member of the seconds was, however, far from elated, and that member was “Pop” Burke. “Pop” had been “Biff’s” chief rival in high school and after graduation, instead of having to go to work as “Biff” did, to help earn his way through college, he went to a preparatory school where he achieved a famous record. “Biff’ worked diligently for two years and played football, basketball, and baseball on various independent teams. His training there began to develop rapidly and he was the outstanding star on the gridiron. The experience he received here proved to serve him in good stead during his college career. “Pop” was not at all pleased to learn that “Biff’ was going to attend Le Mure, although he felt sure that his reputation would carry him through. He was rudely awakened to the fact, however, that a reputation meant nothing at college, but that present worth and hard work were what really counted. “Biff” Hendricks, he found, was well supplied with both of these qualities. “Biff” was well aware of this enmity or rather jealousy but he simply went right along and did his best. Doing his best was the reason that “Pop” had adorned the bench during the entire practice session. His nickname, by the way, was given to him in his early high school days because be was continually “crabbing” and popping off.” On the way to the dressing rooms he made the remark, under his breath, that he was going to get on the team at any cost and by any means. This showed his poor sportsmanship and his great difference from “Biff” who was always known as a “square-shooter”. Coach Stuart had heard of their intense rivalry, but considered it a good thing because he had an idea that it would make each of them strive harder to succeed. “Biff” never passed “Pop” without speaking, although many times he received no reply. During the next two weeks “Biff” played fullback on the varsity while his rival alternated on the seconds with Borger, who “Biff” caused to he relegated to the “scrubs”. “Biff” continued his spectacular work and soon proved to be the star, while Burke did not progress the least bit, but proceeded to play his humble part. The first game of the season was with Lockhurst Academy. It had been intended for an easy game, and it certainly was, the final score being 47-0. Of this total, “Biff” contributed twenty-eight points by making four touchdowns and four extra points. He narrowly missed a forty-five yard drop-kick when a slight gust of wind blew the pigskin a trifle outside the goalposts. “Pop” continued to “warm” the bench and this helped embed his hatred a little deeper. In spite of the good showing the team made, Coach Stuart was far from satisfied. As a result, he made many criticisms at the next practice, whereupon, the team set to work perfecting these weak points before the next game. “Biff” had his share of these criticisms, but he realized that he was far from imperfect, so he began improving his weaker points. At practice that evening, “Pop” started at “full” on the seconds and elation fairly shown in his face as he trotted on to the field. As the scrimmage was nearing a close, there was a pileup, and when everyone was pulled off “Biff” was found on the bottom with a badly wrenched ankle. He was instantly certain that it was “Pop” because he had felt someone’s fingers encircling his leg and suddenly a terrible pain shot through his entire body. The coach was almost on the verge of tears as he helped carry his star to the dressing rooms. The trainer said that the ankle could not be healed in a week, and that he would do his best to get it in shape for the week after. “Biff” protested at this, but the trainer and Stuart waved him to be quiet and take good care of it. The coming game with Landow was what was worrying Coach Stuart, but he determined to make the best of it. “Biff” had become a very intimate friend of “Snap” Rowland, who was formerly the “scrub” quarterback but who, like “Biff,” graduated to the varsity. It was “Snap”, who each evening brought to his unfortunate teammate, the report of the day’s practice. He said that the rest of the team had lost its confidence, and that no one could be found to fill in at fullback. “Pop” was probably the best and he was the one who was most likely to start the game. The long days by himself in his room gave “Biff plenty of time to think of the unfortunate incident but he came to no definite conclusion. At times he felt that he simply had to report it to the coach, but he hated to he a “squealer” and so he finally decided to let the matter rest. On Tuesday, however, he told “Pop” through “Snap”, that he would like to have a few words with him that evening, but he never showed up, nor did he on any of the succeeding evenings. The coach made arrangements to have “Biff Page eighty-five see the game, and when he entered the stands he was greeted by an immense cheer which showed how much the school thought of their star. When I.e Mure trotted onto the field he saw that everything was not as it should have been. The team lacked its usual “pep” and its fighting spirit, and it was also evident, from the very outset of the game that Lan-dow was going to take advantage of his. The battle in the first quarter was nearly even but after this, it became very tiresome and the many fumbles on both teams added to the turmoil. “Pop” played the first half and made so many fumbles and missed so many tackles that Stuart disgustedly took him out. “Pop” saw clearly where this meant his relegation to the third or fourth teams. The terrible nightmare of a game finally ended with Le Mure leading 6-0. The next day’s papers roasted “Pop” so badly that he decided that he had enough so he turned his suit and left school. The last “Biff” heard of him, was when he enlisted in the navy. This was the best place be could have gone because they propably taught him a few things while there. “Biff” decided that “Pop” had been punished enough so he forgot about the matter completely. He got back into “the harness” for the next game with Drake University and scored three touchdowns despite the fact that he favored his injured ankle a great amount of the time. They won the game ,31-0 and thus conquered, rather easily, what they claimed to be their second best opponent. The four games following were all handily won and the big game with Raleigh was now being looked forward to with much interest and enthusiasm. By this time “Biff” had become a “marked man”, and all of Raleigh’s defensive plays were worked around him. He was heralded everywhere as the greatest fullback in the country. In the four games following the Drake victory. “Biff” had played brilliantly in all and soon led the East in scoring. Secret practice sessions were now held where many plays were worked out which did not involve “Biff”. The coach intended using these plays for three quarters, and then when Raleigh’s players were worn out. to let “Biff” tear loose. This proved to be very good judgment because Raleigh had been coached to stop Hendricks and no one else. The day for the game was bright and clear, with a slight snap to the air, ideal football weather and an immense throng was roaring in the bleachers as the game began. The rooters yelled their challenges at each other as the referee blew his whistle, beginning the game. The contest proved to be very close without “Biff” taking any part in it. At the end of the three quarters, the game was a scoreless tie, and then “Biff” suddenly took hold of things. Against the worn-out Raleigh team. Hendricks, nearly single-handed, smashed his way through for two touchdowns, he final score was 1.3-0. This gave Le Mure a clean record for the season and this success was due largely to the stellar playing of “Biff” Hendricks. “Biff” deserved every bit of the credit he received, because be had always been a hard worker and a square-shooter. All this became evident in his after life when he played the “game of life”. He became an executive of an immense rubber company and had his offices in London. “Pop” Burke lived on the sea for several years and it is said that after this he took to drinking, and he died at the age of forty-two. “Biff” recognized the worth of facing a game squarely. Bill' Stieber, ’27. Page eighty six PAMELA’S MAN Pamela Bolton, a pretty young coed, was standing on the deck of the “Lancaster.” She was traveling with her two aunts, but they had succumbed to the dreaded disease of sea-sickness. Pam was on the upper deck beside the railing looking out at the blue ocean. She had not been standing there long, however, when she had an uncanny feeling of being watched. She turned her head and gazed into a pair of blue eyes belonging to a handsome young man. The man said, “I am William Ashly, Jr., and 1 have seen by the passenger list that you are Miss Pamela Bolton.” Pam’s smile would have been a credit to Miss America when she overwhelmed the judges. When Pam went below she found her Aunt Sylvia in a much improved condition, so Pam immediately told her of the new acquaintance. “Aunt Sylvia, he looked so familiar! 1 could swear I’ve seen him before! He has big blue eyes, and dark curly hair.” She talked so much of the saintly, heavenly, divine Mr. Ashly, until her aunts pretended complete recovery and went out on deck. The next morning found Aunt Sylvia on deck. It was more curiosity than anything which had taken her there. Pam and her aunt dined with Mr. Ashly, and thereafter talked untiringly of him. They both said that they felt they had seen him some where before. Aunt Sylvia was becoming very romantic as she said with the voice of a sixteen year old girl in love “I feel that in another incarnation, I was a princess and he my prince.” At last they broached the subject to him. “Mr. Ashly, haven’t we met you before?” Pam spoke timidly, “I’m sure your face is familiar.” “Hr—why, I —dare say you have—uh—seen me before. Er—I used to appear in public very often.” “In what way?” asked Sylvia. “Why—I’d rather not speak of it at present.” “I'm very sorry we have intruded on private affairs.” stated Pam in a slightly frigid tone. Mr. Ashly bowed stiffly, after quite a pause in conversation. Aunt Sylvia murmured something about beauty sleep and retired to her state room. Pam thinking quite enough had been spoken that evening, excused herself also. The following day. Pam took her Aunt Sylvia into her confidence, say ing, “Aunty, don’t you think Mr. Ashly is divine?” Aunty was conscious of a slightly increased beating in her heart, but she answered in a condescending tone: Page eighty-sei'en “He’s a very nice young man,” but to herself she was saying, “Divine! that’s too mild to put it. He is the Greek Apollo.” Pam continued, “It is so mysterious about his seeming so familiar to us all. I wonder who he really is.” That evening a slight fog arose and the passengers of the “Lancaster” assembled on the lower deck. They were sitting in groups discussing politics. stock markets, scandal, and clothes. Pam had already grown bored with such talk, and Mr. Ashly wasn’t there anyway. He could have held one spell-bound talking about the weather. She slipped quietly away and ascended to the upper deck, seeing the familiar figure of William Ashly, Jr., she gave a dramatic sneeze, which sounded real to listening ears. William came and escorted her to a steamer chair. After a few moments .he concluded that Pam's scarf was too thin for comfort, and he calmly placed his arm around her shoulders. “Pam. could you------?” “Xo. Mr. Ashly, I could not!” She started this in her most haughty air. “No, 1 could not, considering the mystery around you—well, it is hardly to he expected.” Before William could say one word Aunt Sylvia came upon the scene with two ladies whom she had met. He hastily made a place for the ladies to sit, and after a few moments, went below. A stiff and awkward silence fell on the crowd. At last, Aunt Sylvia, in a calm tone, “Captain Trexler says we shall land before tomorrow evening.” The ladies took this calmly enough; Pam sighed, bit her lip. and said. “Pm glad, it’s been such a long, tiresome, voyage.” At least one lady thought. “How can the child tell such falsehoods?” With a few more words they went to their respective cabins. The next day everyone on board was in a hurry, preparing to land. Pam did not see Mr. Ashly again until they came in sight of land, it was a queer meeting. Mr. Ashly seemed quite at ease; Pam was plainly embarrassed. They spoke, but it was formal, and in ten seconds it was over. Aunt Sylvia, who was standing beside Pam, greeted him with a more friendly word and then he had gone. Suddenly a man in uniform shouted, All off. and so they passed out of the sight of Mr. Ashly. Pamela and her aunts went back to their home and appeared to forget the voyage. One day, Pam went to the Post Office for any letters there might be for her, and found only a magazine. Phis she took home and slowly scanned the pages. At last she saw a picture, and advertisement. Aunt Sylvia heard her scream, and found she had fainted. When Pam became conscious, she whispered in her aunt’s ear: “He’s the Arrow Collar Man !” Evelyn Hostetler. Page eighty-eight SMILES It was on the first day of March in the year of ninteen hundred and ten,that a forlorn and desolate man wended his way through the swarm of chattering foreigners, who practically blocked the side-walks of the slum district of Chicago. True to the old prophecy, March had come in like a lion, and the fact that he was in “the windy city did not make Doctor Lorenz feel any warmer. But, as the Doctor later reflected, the weather exactly harmonized with his spirits on that day, for only one long month ago he had been left a widower by the death of his beautiful, young wife. Her death had been the result of poverty, cold and starvation, a situation which worry and hard work would not remedy, lie realized that life for him had been just one thing after another. He remembered the story told by his poor, old grandmother, that soon after his birth, his mother and father had been killed when their horse, which had been frightened during a thunderstorm, had reared, thereby over-turning their carrage and plunging it down a steep embankment. The life was crushed out of both occupants, but more important than that, according to the liveryman from whom the horse and rig had been hired, the “buggy” had been completely demolished. The child had then gone to live with his old, feeble, poverty-stricken grandmother, who had miraculously managed to rear him until he was old enough to attend school. After school hours, Jim would peddle papers do odd jobs around the town, and sometimes deliver meat and groceries for Mr. Blatz, the village grocer. W hen he was fifteen years old. his grandmother died, thus leaving him alone in the world. He then attended high-school, studying diligently in the short time remaining after school and working hours, and as a result, graduated as an honor student. After toiling for a year, Jim decided to attend a medical school, and by tailoring hard both physically and mentally, in winter and summer, he managed to complete his five-year course and win a scholarship for two years’ study in Germany. Upon returning to America, he taught high-school for two years in an effort to earn and save enough money to support a wife and start to practice his beloved chosen trade. Unfortunately, however, he and his wife moved to Chicago only to find that their money was dwindling, and no trade was coming to the Doctor. After over a year of pinching and saving, it was found necessary to move to less expensive rooms which were located in the slums of the city, and soon after the once beautiful wife died. Xo wonder the Doctor felt depressed and sad as he slowly made his way toward the house of one of his few patients. “What happiness had the world in store for him?” he asked himself. “Why would it not be better for him to end it all? He knew nothing but sadness, even the one happiness of his life had not been spared him.” Page eighty-nine It was at this point of his soliloquy that he noticed a little girl who was dressed in bright red staring curiously at him. When he looked at her, she smiled sunnily at him and said. “Hello, is you a doctor?” Doctor Lorenz returned her smile half-heartedly and answered, “Well, cherry girl, some people don't consider me as such, hut I do attempt to be one.” “What does 'em big words mean? Why did you say ‘cherry girl' cause I don’t sell ’em, but Mary Ann Hobbs do and she just makes lots of money, in the summer, 1 mean.” “Well, to tell the truth, 1 am a doctor, and 1 called you “cherry girl' because your coat and bonnet are the same color as the cherries were when I was a little boy like you.” “Did you pick cherries when you was little? As little as me? And you said that when you was a little boy like me! Why 1 wa’nt never no little boy and I ain't a boy now either. Don’t you know boys don’t wear coats and caps an' dresses, an’ curls 'less they ain’t got 'nough money to get their hair cut like Jimmy Baxter what I plays with sometimes?” “Yes, I picked cherries when 1 was a little boy, but I knew you were a little girl. I just wasn’t thinking when I added those last few words. By the way, little girl, do you know where Mrs. Gerber lives?” “Why sure I does, she’s my muvver an' she’s sick, didn’t you know that even? C’mon. I'll show ya where she. but gee! Mamma said you was smart and would make her well agin, don’t even know I am an’ who my muvver is? Why I knowed who you was right away.” The doctor did not answer these questions for he had now been led to the room of Mrs. Gerber, and found her to he seriously ill. Upon careful examination, he found her to have a slight touch of tuberculosis, so he immediately ordered her to a health resort in Colorado. He knew that she did not have much money, but lie did know that he was to perform a big operation that afternoon which would probably be worth one hundred dollars—if he would charge that much. He instantly decided that the price was higher than usual, but that the patient was also richer than usual; also, that the cherry girl’s mother needed the money worse than he did. In less than two week’s time, Mrs. Gerber and her small daughter were spending a vacation in Colorado. Mrs. Gerber was not so ill that she could not work, so she managed to support Margaret Anne and herself very nicely. She also sent money to Doctor Lorenz at intervals and soon found that her debt was paid. Margaret Anne entered school, and all through the grades, proved to be a very apt pupil. When she entered high-school, she was noted as a precocious child and possessed, as her friends declared, “A very promising voice.” Her chief desire was to take vocal lessons from Senor Ricardo, an instructor who had been advised by an aged opera star who heard Margaret Anne sing. She knew, however, that this was impossible for Page ninety her mother’s health and the source of money were failing. Although she was often sad because her mother suffered, she always faced the world with a smile, and, as her mother said, it always seemed to bring her good luck. Jokingly, when mother and daughter were counting their wealth, they always added Margaret Anne’s talisman, the smile, to their meagre store. That afternoon, after the call upon the (ierbers, Doctor Lorenz succeeded in the delicate and difficult operation. The patient slowly recovered, meanwhile gratefully spreading the news of the Doctor’s skill to his friends, most of whom belonged to the wealthy class. After a few month’s time, Lorenz found it necessary to move to a larger office in a better part of the city because of the rapid increase in his business, and in a few years he was noted as Chicago's most skilled physician and surgeon. During all the time of his practice, he had corresponded with Mrs. Gerber, and later with Margaret Anne, who remembered him vaguely. Photographs and snapshots of the young lady, told the story that she was very beautiful, and letters told that she still dressed in cherry red an incident which pleased the Doctor immensely. Put as years progressed, the Doctor also felt his health failing, yet lie believed that he owed too great a debt to humanity to retire or take a vacation. His days were filled to brimming, and he had no time to think of himself, but after fifteen years of practice, he knew that he would have to retire from his beloved work. A few days after formally retiring. Jim Lorenz was removed from his home to that of his best friend, Jerry Dawes, the man upon whom he had operated that March afternoon after his return from the Gerbers'. It was here that he spent the remaining two months of his life as an invalid. Hard work had finally broken the “bent twig” beyond the repair of the best physicians of the world. When his will was read a few days later, it was found that he had left the sum of fifteen thousand dollars “to the cheery and cherry girl who smiled at him when he was down and out, thus marking the greatest epoch of his life, the starting point of success and the only happiness he had known. This money was to be used in developing Margaret Anne’s talent at the “New York Musical Acedemy” under direction of Senior Ricardo, and later in further study in Europe. When Margaret Anne heard this bit of information, she was standing beside her mother’s deathbed. The mother heard the great news and whispered faintly, “Margaret Anne, it pays to smile. Wouldn’t it be a good idea if we would pretend everyone we met was a doctor?” Ethel Hover.

Page ninety-four ART AND JIMMY “Nineteen years of my life gone and nothing accomplished! sighed Phvllis Browning as she impatiently threw the tea towel on the table. “Absolutely nothing hut wash dishes, hake, and scrub. And 1 with my ambitions.” . . She could have added her tears to the dishwater, but just then her mother came into the kitchen, humming a gay little tune. “Well, Phyllis, she said, “when you’re through with the dishes, you may quit. 1 have just finished cleaning. By the way, are you going to the meeting to-night.' “I’d like to if you don’t mind,” replied Phyl. Phyllis was a member of a family of moderate means who was occupying a large house on Main Street, in Centerville, New ork. She had two brothers, one twenty and the other sixteen. I hese two boys did much toward making Phyl as unselfish as she was. Finally, the dishes being put away, Phyl donned a bright orange smock, and started for the grove back of her home with her paints and brushes. Phyllis, it was true, had artistic ability, but she had never had the opportunity to develop it. Often she came to this grove to paint and sketch because it was such a cool and peaceful spot. That evening she called for Louise, one of her best friends, to go with her to the meeting. “Phyl.” cried Louise, as soon as she entered, “I heard there was going to he something special to-night. A surprise for us. I wonder what it isr’ “Really. 1 hadn’t heard,” answered Phyl. When the two girls arrived at Doris Baker’s home, the place where the meeting of the “Soviety of Art” was to he held, only a few girls were already there. Excitement was in the air. Everybody’s eyes were glowing and cheeks were flushed in expectation. Phyl, with her dark, sparkling eyes black hair, red lips showing pearl-white teeth, and red dress; Louise, having curly blonde hair, blue eyes, flushed cheeks and flowing blue dress; and Doris, of the auburn type, was dressed in cool green, which nicely set oft her hair. Soon the others came, a joyous, laughing, happy-go-lucky group. The meeting was called to order by the chairman, an elderly lady whom all the girls loved. At last the president, amid the pervading excitement, made the following announcement: “Girls, 1 have a very pleasing announcement to make at this time, at least, I am very happy to do so and I am sure it will he acceptable to you. We have decided to offer one girl from among you the opportunity of taking lessons from Monsieur Delaroche, of New York City, for the best sketch submitted by you at our next meeting. The sketches are to he judged by two well-known artists of New York. Girls, please do your best for it surely will he worth your time.” At ten o’clock, Phyl rushed breathlessly into her mother’s room to ted her the good news. “Oh, Mother,” she exclaimed, “this is the chance I’ve been waiting for all these years. I’m so ashamed of myself, for only to-day I was so discouraged and downhearted because I hadn’t done anything tc Page ninety-five 1 develop my talent, for really, I do believe it is a talent that was given tc me by God. But I’ve been wasting it. And to-day I almost decided it was useless to try to improve because I’d never have a chance to carry on any work.” “Yes, dear, we are always quick to judge our Lord’s acts,” was the sympathetic reply. “Mother. I’m sorry I've been so hateful lately about the work. I'll try my best to do better and I'll work as hard as I can to win the contest.” Days passed, and Phyllis was contented and happy in the knowledge that her opportunity was here and it was hers for the taking. Her morning work was soon completed, so she spent the afternoon in the grove under the pines touching up on her sketch. The other girls were also busy, each being confident that she would win. Nearly two weeks were up and the eyes of the girls contained expressions of anxiety as the deciding day approached. At last the evening came and the girls hastened to Louise’s home, only to learn that they would not be able to know the result for two days. That night Phyl confided to her mother. “Oh, dear. I’ve worked so hard the last two weeks to improve that it seems to me almost unbearable to think of losing. T know all the girls feel the same as I do, but some one has to win. and T wish with all my heart that I will be worthy to be called the winner.” “I certainly do hope you will win. dear, because it is the only way you will have to realize your dream. At least. I can’t see any other way now. Some of the others could afford to take lessons if they would want to so very much,” her mother sighed, thinking of the dreams she had so often dreamed, and wondered whether she was selfish. Phyl thought the next two days would never pass. but. true to tradition, they did. In the evening of the second day. Phyl hurried to their leader’s home with a heavy heart. Before she left, she said. “Mother, it seems as though I couldn’t give up this opportunity to prove my worthiness.” As she finished, the big tears rolled down her cheks. Her mother placed a reassuring kiss upon her brow, and she hurried away. Everyone was half-fearful, half-confident. The ladv from New York was present to announce the winner. She was a tall, kindly-looking person, having large gray eyes, wavy brown hair, and smiling lips. “It won’t hurt quite so much if I don’t win,” thought Phyllis as she noticed the lady’s appearance. Then the announcement began. Phyl’s heart stood still and she scarcely breathed as she waited. “Girls, I am pleased to see that you really are interested in art, and especially am I glad to know that some of you show real talent. One. however, does show a trifle more talent than the others. The sketch of that one was signed ‘Phyllis Browning’.” Before the name was uttered, Phyllis had placed both hands over her ears to shut out the sound of any other person’s name. Her eyes burned as she watched the speaker’s lips forming her own name. Page ninety-six After the clapping and good wishes ceased to be heard, Phyl buried her head in her arms and wept. Hut she did not weep on account of grief and disappointment, but for joy and thanksgiving. Preparations for her departure were made and finally one September morning she bade her loving family farewell. Arriving in New York, she, accompanied by the lady who had announced the winner, went to seek for rooms. The first place they tired, they' found a dear old lady called Mrs. Moran. Phyllis liked her so well that she decided to stay. Her friend departed promising to call in the morning about eight-thirty o’clock. Seven o’clock the next morning found Phyl awake and up, dressed in a red sport suit. By 8:45 the two friends were making their way to the studio of Monsieur Delaroche. It was a fine morning for New York, but Phyl couldn't help thinking of the grove back of her home. Arrangements were made at the studio for Phyllis to be there from nine o’clock to eleven thirty. These plans were carried out. and she progressed rapidly, making many new friends, one. especially, named Jimmy Rhodes. Three and a half months had passed and already she had painted bits of scenery for the Broadway producers. Her teacher was very well satisfied by' the improvement of his pupil, so everything went on smoothly. But Phyl was becoming homesick, even though her friends wrote faithfully twice a week. When she had a severe attack of homesickness, she rebuked herself, saying, “I believe I’m just a silly girl. I can't have my cake and eat it too. If I wouldn’t be here this minute learning to paint. I’d begin tomorrow to be sorry for it the remainder of my life. I’ll resolve that I’m going to forget this foolishness and learn all I can while 1 have the opportunity.” So another week passed. On Monday morning, Phyllis trudged slowly to the studio, reviewing the happenings of the preceding weeks and now summing up the result. “But did I make the best of my opportunity?” she reflected. “I wonder if I couldn’t have studied more. That’s the way everybody does; he acts, and then, when the deed is done, he wonders how he might have improved upon it. And yet, I believe I can truly say’ I have done my best.” By- this time she had arrived at the studio and had taken off her wraps. None of her friends were about and she wondered what was the matter, for usually she was greeted by a shout of welcome from each of her friends. She hurriedly crossed the large reception room and, hesitating, placed her hand upon the door-knob. Slowly she turned it. and pushed open the door. Dozens of eyes seemed to stare at her as she stood there. “Why—why, am I so late?” she stammered. Now she noticed that there were only four of her friends there but that three strange men were present. She was bewildered. “Whyr, there’s Jimmy, and Bob, and Lena and—why—where are the others ?” Page ninety-seven All this consumed only a few seconds and now she realized that Jimmy was offering her a chair. She gratefully sank into it. murmuring her thanks under the buzz-buzz of voices. Monsieur Delaroche arose and everyone was silent. “Friends,” he began, “I suppose you are all wondering why these three friends of mine are here and why only some of my pupils are here. First, you four are here because T have judged you the best of my pup'ls. The others are doing very well. too. but they have not had the training that you have. Then, these friends have come as impartial judges to choose the two whom they consider have done the best work. I haven’t told you about it because 1 wanted your best efforts without a material prize offered as a reward, but, now. your reward is to be success,—the greatest of all prizes. The two whose work is judged the best are to be sent to Europe with Monsieur Favour. They are to have every possible advantage, and the only repayment desired is that they be a success.” Again a wonderful opportunity presented itself to Phyllis, but. oh. could she pass the test? Had she really done her best? The awful moments of suspense passed. She sat there as though in a trance. At last (oh, how long it seemed.) her teacher arose. Every pupil sat with his eyes glued on the speaker, fear written in his face. “After much consideration on the part of the judges, it was decided that Phyllis Browning and Jimmy Rhodes were the two people who deserved the trip to Europe,” was the announcement made. This was short but sufficient. After the congratulations ceased. Jimmy and Phyllis tried to thank their benefactors; but Jimmy did most of the thanking, for Phy llis burst into tears of joy which expressed her gratitude adequately. Every one was very much pleased, and yet, disappointed; pleased because those particular two had won the prize, and disappointed because now there would be no Phyllis or Jimmy to brighten the gloomy days. At the end of the month, the two friends left for their homes,—Phyllis to Centerville and Jimmy to Albany. The Brownings met Phyl at the train. For days thev fairly basked in the cheerful sunshine which her presence created. But this peace was not to last long, for in another month Jimmy came to Centerville for Phyllis. Now the parting was as sad as the greeting was glad. Phyl bravely kept up a lively flow of conversation to cover her feelings. Just before the train pulled out. she whispered in her mother’s ear. “W ell, I believe 1 have won in this game, but who would have thought it only about eight months ago? You surely never can tell what will happen to you in a few months.” Mrs. Browning stood waving her handerchief at the disappearing train. She remembered her daughter’s eager flushed face and Jimmy’s worshipping eyes, and thought. “At least she will not be alone in the world. At last she has realized her dream and is going to Europe to study under a world-famous artist. Thelma Miller-’29. Page ninety-eight IRISHMAN’S LUCK From my study window where, enjoying the thought of an hour or two uninterrupted at my desk, I looked out and saw the Mahaffey’s old Lord lurching down our driveway. With some irritation, 1 hastened to the back entry to hand the laundry to Dennis—although I must admit I found no little satisfaction in a look at Dennis and a short chat. He is our laundress’s only son—and a typical son of Erin, red headed, red faced, with brilliant freckles and prying nose. lie has a wide pleasant mouth that runs this way and that along with his darting speech. Dennis kept two and three stories going from the odd corners of that mouth, and I. who must make a living spinning yarns, often found my pen quite facile after the spell of its flow. But of all the thrillers I stole from Dennis, the best is just Dennis, himself—the one I am giving you now. He was startling in his ability to do the right thing at the wrong time, always working patiently and most intelligently on the thing for which he was seemingly not at all fitted and dismissing with a lick and a promise jobs for which he showed marked talent. Liz, his mother’s old Ford in which he trucked the washings by which she supported him in his errant ways. I am sure he could have made a Packard of it, so skillful was he in prolonging its life, but he explained to me that just so she heaved along he was satisfied, because he was not a mechanic but a chemist. He had convinced his mother of this fact, and she toiled cheerfully and relentlessly to keep Dennis in High School where he was the marvel of the chemistry department and the bane of every other. Foreign languages oozed from his tongue, historical dates burst into bumps on his cranium, mathematics lighted steely sparks in his eyes, but he worked them all as he did the Ford—just enough that his teachers couldn’t scrap him, and spent his youth mooning and missing in the chemistry lab. When his mother complained to me that she was afraid he wouldn’t pass and that she was so tired of washing, I lost patience and advised her in no mild terms to take him out and put him to work. But said she. “Miss Alen, have you ever tried puttin' and kappin Denny to work?” I was forced to admit I had not. but a little stung. 1 offered to try—and almost rued it. Being a journalist and scribbler, my technique was not impressive with garage men I knew. My publishing friends were sufficiently tormented by printers’ devils of the Dennis type. His mother beside washings did some char work down town, and when she mentioned a certain bank. I suggested in desperation that we try to get him in there. Page ninety-nine I said I had a friend in considerable authority there and 1 should speak to her. So fancy my elation when I hurried out this morning, looking for a bit of literary color from the blathering Dennis to he met by his mother, and the news that Dennis had a job full time at the bank. “Sure, Miss Alen!” she exclaimed. “You’d take him fer prisident so grand he looks in the clothes he wears; they’s all bedizened with buttons and gold braid.” I gathered from these details he must have been a doorman, porter, or office flunkey of some kind which was better for Dennis and the bank than that he should be president. “And Miss Alen.” said Mrs. Mahaffey, “I’ll not be doin’ tub washin’s no more, Dennis has the pay that will more ’an kape us both and I am sure I am oblidged to yez.” Sad to relate, the pay did not last long for Dennis lost his job and his mother was back soliciting my trade. “Oh, Mrs. Mahaffey, how did it happen?” 1 exclaimed. “Happen, happen? Why aizy-like,” said she. The boss rung Denny up to fetch chairs for a meetin’ in his private office and Denny was armed with his crime gas and he knocked the chairs agin the bottles in bis pocket and they busted and the horrible smells from ’em busted up the meetin’. The boss fired Denny right then and there afore all those ilegant rich gintlemen and Denny can’t wear them handsome clothes no more!” she ended with a wail. “Denny’s crime gas?” asked I, “Just what is it Mrs. Mahaffey and why would he take it to the bank?” “Why when he gits it perficted w'ere all to carry it to fight the crime waves and criminals an’ when he gits it to catchin’ ’em good he'll make another kind to give ’em to make ’em talk—tell iverything on themselves and aich other.” “I see, you mean gas number one for policemen, detectives, and militia of the citizens with gas number two for lawyers, prosecutors and the third degree.” “But tell me. Mrs. Mahaffey. why Denny took his hobby to the bank where his time was paid for and not his own to waste on a personal side line?” “Why time,” said she. “its too much time Denny had there. They paid for it, but didn’t use it and Denny fixed himself a little bench in my charin closet, and the janitor gave him a bunsting bumes and told him he could use stuff outin’ any bottle he found in the place ’ceptin’ the good fountain pen ink.” “Everybody liked Denny in that bank and wanted to see him clean up the crime wave. Everyone but the new teller and he was stuck up and got mad cause Denny couldn’t say his name right. It's Robert mind yez for the last name, and Renny called him Robertson and he said, “No Robert” and Denny said, “I ain’t usin’ no first names and Robert said it ain’t no first, it was Mr. Robert. Denny told him all right, but he just couldn’t help Page one hundred but put an S on it. They all called him Mr. Roberts and he didn’t dare to sass ’em for it. nobody but Denny.” “What is Dennis doing now?” 1 asked, feeling helpless and bewildered with such blighted genius and benighted material devotion. “Oh, he’s back in school till he can git another job,” she answered. “Indeed. Did they allow him to come back?” I marveled. “Sure n they did Miss Alen, Denny said his kimistry teacher put him right to work. Yes, and Mr. Hogan the janitor at the bank hired him to come back after school and Saturdays. Denny makes a polishing paste for the brasses and metals and you don’t have to rub at all. Hogan likes a game of cribbage with the engineer and Denny likes to tinker for them with their tools and machinery. “There, thought I, “That is the difficulty the boy is versatile, everything interests him and nothing disciplines him.” “I am sorry,” I sighed. “And me,” groaned Mrs. Mahaffey, “I hate to see Denny in overalls shining door knobs on his knees that he used to open so light handed for grand folks when he wore thim regimintals.” “Yes, it is a shame you have to go back to the wash tub Mrs. Mahaffey.” “Oh, I don't mind that, Denny says he’ll make money—lots of it on his crime gas besides doing all that good in the world.” Her faith in the genius of her erratic boy challenged my doubts, but nevertheless 1 tried to explain that to accomplish much with any science required laborious mastery of many subjects, mathematics especially and foreign languages. “Yes,” she admitted, “they kept tellin’ Denny that at High School. But he sez he knows workin’ in shop and labs is what learned Edison to invent electricity.” I saw the uselessness of discussing human achievement with her it her ignorance robbed Benjamin Franklin not to mention the creator of all part in electrical glory. I decided to save my breath for Dennis and urge him the next time 1 saw him to avail himself of every chance his school offered him for proper training in his chosen career. But before 1 ever chanced to talk with young Dennis again he broke right into the front pages of the dailies, heralded as a genius in many spheres. The janitor of the bank and the building engineers had settled themselves for the quiet Saturday game while Dennis took over their chores, but fortunately the test tubes and vile concoctions in the char woman’s closet help him there, while gun men slipped in on the helpless gamesters, throttled, bound and gagger them. Denny told me afterwards that he heard the muffled scuffling and chairs knocked over and fearing that the game finished they would find their work undone, he peeked through the crack of the closet door. His eyes set in horror at the memory of that “peek” for there, down the corridor between the elevator and the stairs his good old pals lay helpless, gagged and trussed, and three masked, and armed bandits Page one hundred one advanced upon his lair. They halted and one who seemed in command with a low voice and gestures strangely familiar, indicated that here was a location commanding all entrances and a clear view across the great marble lobby to tbe street. With his companion, he went down another corridor leaving a guard with his back to the crack and Denny’s frozen nose. In recalling that moment, his face is bloodless and his freckles S. O. S. He glued his hair with Stacomb, or 1 am sure it would rocket. He said he stopped breathing for so long he feared the suction if he began again for he felt such a vacuum, and thinking of breathing reminded him of his gas. Dennis comes from a line of Irish Policemen and at fifteen he had the stature and the brilliant daring which offset his superstitious fear. When he discovered that he stood half a head above the bandit, he decided to match him wits and weapons. Bandaging his nose with his mother's cleaning cloths, and veiling his eyes with thin cheese cloth, he lifted delicately several test tubes from the rack. Pouring them together he wafted the vapor down over his captor’s head. Almost immediately he raised his left hand to rub his eyes and then in sudden panic the bandit thrusted his gun in his pocket, reached up and removed his mask. This was Denny’s cue, stealthily opening the door just enough to remove the gun he thrust it into the stomach of the poor wretch, who still rubbing his eyes and nose, was easily forced into the closet and secured by key. Tearing off his bandages, his first impulse was to run for air. but as he moved, breathing improved and thinking too, so that with a steady grip on his victim’s gun, he headed for the vault, the door of which, stood unguarded and ajar. Denny peered within and saw two figures working feverishly with their loot, and as gently as a mother with a fretful baby just asleep, he closed the heavy door. Then ran full speed to his old pals and removing the gags he began to cut them loose. Hogan called feebly for a drink but Thompson yelled for the police. “Did you call them, Denny?” “No hurry. Air. Thompson,” said Denny, “take it easy, let me cut you loose.” “Denny, you blockhead, go call the police.” But Dennis, just as if he were the village dressmaker, went quietly on with his ripping. Thompson, one arm free, burst his moorings and careened for the nearest phone and before Denny had old Hogan entirely free, the police and a few bank officials came rushing in. “What's the row? demanded a bushy lieutenant. Thompson came up, limping and gasping. “Robbers, bandits, were looted.” “Where are tbe robbers, which way did they go?” and all began milling around, running to windows and doors. Trying to keep Hogan from falling off the elevator stool, Denny called to the cashier as he moved off toward the vault, “Getting warm, Mr. Jones.” Jones and the police came back from the vault with the prisoners. One proved to be Mr. Roberts, the new teller. Denny dropped old Hogan and stepping up to Robert gasped, “Holy Mackeral! and is it you?” Page one hundred two “Well, I’ll bet 1 shall remember to leave the S off your name, by goliy, and the T too. and I'll spell it with two B's. The police were moving off with the prisoners when suddenly young Dennis yelled, “Halt, about face, to the rear, I’ll get you another maybe not |uite so good.” ((iosli, I hope 1 haven’t killed him.”) Denny's amazed followers found bandit three drawn into an agonized knot on the closet floor. When Denny heard the police calling an ambulance, he made straight for home and mother, where he poured out the whole story. Both agreed in deep remorse that he must improve his gas so that it “won’t kill nobody, not even a burglar.” Of course Dennis was called once more to the boss’s private office with his mother. My friend at the bank had explained and analyzed Denny into the affection of his employer. “Dennis.” he began with a twinkle in his eye, “you have grown since 1 saw you last. 1 think it is up to me to apologize not for throwing you out of my office, with your blundering mess, but for discharging you from the bank It looks as though we need you here. The way you have learned Chemistry and how to spell Robert’s name, proves that you can learn the whole bag of tricks. I am paying to your mother, Robert's salary until you have finished High School and my income for to-day stands invested to your credit for a college education.” “What do you say Dennis, are you ready for routine work and sound preparation ?” My friend told me afterward that for a minute Dennis looked antagonized and unconvinced, and she feared he might come back with his Edison argument. Glancing from his doting old mother to this efficient and powerful benefactor he seemed to realize in a troubled way the difference between the Irish faith in fairies and hope of miracles and the Yankee scheme of hard facts and figures. “I am ready for the training; you say you need me here. Must I be a banker?” “No, sir,” said Mr. Rennet with his hand on Denny’s shoulder, “They tell me you say you are a chemist and we all admit you will make a scientist. “I will sir,” said Denny, with his wide-spreading, knowing grin, “and I thank you, sir, for the makings.” Polly Post. ’29. Pape one htmdred three During the past few weeks our Girls’ Athletic Editor requested a number of former stars and coaches of good old Dover High to contribute a few words in accordance with the theme of this Annual. For the benefit of the readers we will print their responses below. Success is not built in one day, one week, or one year. The success of our present team received its beginning during the time when Wm. Traut-wein was coach. The following is Mr. Trautwein's contribution: Wittenberg College. Springfield, Ohio, Mar. 3, 1 927. Dear Staff: It is with greatest pleasure and delight that 1 look back to the two years 1 spent in Dover as Coach of Dover High School Athletic Teams. I consider this period of time as one of the finest and best in my life. Thanks to the fine cooperation of the Superintendent of School, faculty, the students of Dover High School, and the people of Dover. It is true that we cannot boast of a record in wins and losses as the teams in the past few years. I do feel, however, that the teams of 1921 and ’22 helped to raise the standards of Dover High School’s Athletics and helped to place them on the high plane in which they are now conducted. Allow me at this time to bring out two points in which 1 feel that the lx y as well as the community have both benefited. It was during this period more rigid eligibility rules were enforced and the boy found that he had to he a student as well as an athlete. It was during this period that the Athletic relationship with New Philadelphia was renewed and brought hack the two towns to an intense but friendly rivalry which I understand still prevails. Now as to the success of the teams of 1921 and 1922, we did win more games than we lost, hut I do not believe that success can be measured by the number of wins and losses. Success can only he measured by how well the men have learned the lessons taught on the Athletic Field, that is, to he a sportsman in success as well as in defeat. The men of these teams have already entered life or are now at Universities or Colleges preparing for their life’s work. I am sure they have all benefited by their participation in Athletics and will allow the lesson, “Fight hard to win, but fight clean’’ lead them to a more successful life. 1 congratulate the various Athletic Teams of Dover High School and Coach Joe Hermann on their past successes, and wish them more and greater success in the future. W. J. Trautwein Coach 1921-22. 1922-23 Mrs. Garnet Noel-Siddle, our former Girls’ Coach, sends her greetings and best wishes. Danville, Yirgina, March 7, 1927 Dear Staff: J thank you for the opportunity of saying a word or two for “Dear 1‘age one hundred, four Old Dover High.” The very mention of Athletics of Dover High fills me with pride for having been, at one time, one of her coaches. The teams she has put forth and is still putting forth are teams that any high school or coach can point to with pride and say, “Our team represents Dover High, and the City of Dover. It stands for clean habits, true sportsmanship, courage, and co-operation. It usually brings home the ‘bacon’.” Athletics represented by such teams has a very optimistic future. Sincerely yours, Garnet Xoel-Siddle. A Wittenberg student, Faucis Maus, expresses bis idea concerning athletics in relationship to life. Dover High claimed this young man as her own several years ago. Springfield, Ohio, Mar. 3, 1927. Dear Staff: Of the subject of which you asked me to speak I would most emphatically say; “Athletics should not be divorced from the educational curriculum.” The problem is not one of elimination; rather it is one of proper social control. John Galsworthy has this to say. “Sport which keeps a flag of idealism flying is perhaps the most saving grace in the world today.” Galsworthy may be a trifle extreme, but his statement contains more truth than some of us may think. What America needs today is more of the spirit of sportsmanship inoculated into its social, political, and economical life. When I say social I mean to include the church, for the church is much in need of such a spirit. Allow me to quote Dr. Wilce. “The acid test of sportsmanship is the attitude we take towards the majority rule.” We are either one of the majority or one of the minority. Sport teaches the art of being a good loser as well as that of being a modest winner. You ask, “Upon whom does this problem of proper social control fall?” Consider that last year fifty millions of people witnessed athletic games of some kind or other, and you will appreciate the significance of this problem. Consider also that the level of sportsmanship in the stands was lower than on the field of play. Upon whom does the problem fall, then? It falls upon the schools and churches of our country. They alone can raise the standards of sportsmanship, for there is no one else to do it. Sincerely yours, Francis Maus. The next letter is from another prominent Wittenberg student, Victor Maurer. Vic is still holding his place in athletics. Springfield, Ohio, Feb. 28, 1927. Dear Staff: It seems a very appropriate tribute, to the splendid teams that have Page one hundred five represented Dover Hi during the past few seasons in athletics, to dedicate the 1927 annual in their honor. The outstanding factor that has contributed to the success of Dover Hi on the gridiron and on the basketball court seems to be the splendid interest and co-operation of citizens of Dover, and the faculty of the school, with Coach Joe Hermann, who in the minds of all, is without question the most well-liked and capable Director of Athletics that Dover Hi has-ever had the good fortune to possess. With a continuous striving toward the ideal of clean athletics, that has been the Keynote of Dover’s success, and with the continued interest of the people of Dover, along with the faculty's splendid support, Dover Hi should experience little difficulty in maintaining the exceptionally high standard that she has created during the past few years. Every alumnus of the school follows the records of Dover’s teams with an ever interested eye and rejoices in their victories no matter how far away from home he may be. The foregoing thoughts have been called to my mind many times, and 1 am very glad to send them to you along with my wishes for the class of 1927 to present the biggest and best Crimson and Grey that has ever appeared at Dover Hi. Yours most sincerely, Vic Maurer Mrs. Francis Burtcher-Xewland. a member of our once famous girL' basketball team, sends to us her idea of athletics. Dover. Ohio, March 1. 1927. Dear Staff: High School Education is a big asset in life. But it is a great honor to know that in the years gone by your school has been successful in Athletics. Let the past be past, we must now work for the future. We must strive to make Dover High a champion. This can be done if we are all interested enough to help. What we need is spirit, boosting, and last, but most of all, work. Sincerely yours, “Butch” D. H. S. ’27. Mrs. Lawrence Newland. We received the following from Mr. Jacob Godfrey, a Dover business man and also booster of Dover High. Dover, Ohio, March 1, 1927. Dear Staff: Athletics in Dover High School were always on a high plane except for a few years when it seems High School Spirit lacked. It has only been in recent years that the Good Old High School Spirit of past days has again shown itself. This I do not attribute entirely to winning teams, but to the Page one hundred six fact that Dover High has had the right kind of men handling athletics. When Mr. Trautwein took over the management of athletics, they were in a very bad condition as 1 remember it. It was a big job to start things rolling in the right way and this he accomplished. Since that time the interest has been getting better and better until today, we have one of the best. (I should say The Best,) high schools in Ohio. Dover High has been making a mark in Ohio Athletics, having a strong team in the field every year. It is not necessary to win every game to have a good team, and to have the people back of you, but to have a team that will give any High School a real contest. In closing I just wish to say that 1 am always for Dover High as long as they give their best, play fair, and give their adversaries credit when they are defeated. Sincerely' yours, J. A. Godfrey. The last letter is from an aspiring young business man, John Marshall. John was formerly one of Dover High’s favorite athletes. Dover, Ohio, March 2,1927. Dear Staff: The term. Athletics, takes in many different kinds of sports, which all tend to develop the physique. But, while doing this they create a habit of cleanliness and neatness which cannot be overlooked, or go unnoticed; and which if followed up systematically cannot help but make better men and women in the future. In the past years Dover Hi has done very well, considering the lack of interest shown, as compared to the enthusiasm displayed today. We, of the past, are happy to know and follow up the steady rise in the spirit and work of the future in Dover Hi Athletics. Sincerely yours, John R. Marshall ’19. Page one hundred seven D. H. S.

When a man pants for a woman and a woman pants for a man, that makes a pair of pants. Pants are like molasses, they are thinner in hot weather and thicker in cold weather. There has been much discussion as to whether pants is singular or plural. Seems to us that when you wear pants it is plural—and when you don’t wear them it is singular. If you want to make pants last, make the coat first. Page one hundred fourteen Page one hundred fifteen Small boys often ask embarrassing questions. A preacher was addressing the Sunday school and explaining the significance of white. “Why,” he asked, “does a bride desire to be clothed in white at her marriage?” As no one answered, he went on: “Because white stands for joy, and the wedding-day is the most joyous occasion in a woman’s life.

I know not what I was writing, With that thing so like a pen; : But I struck one word astounding— Unknown to the speech of men. It flooded the sense of my verses, Like the break of a tinker’s dam. And I felt as one feels when the printer Of your “Infinite calm” makes clam. It mixed up s’s and x’s Like an alphabet coming to strife. It seemed the discordant echo Of a row between husband and wife. It brought a perplexed meaning Into my perfect piece, And set the machinery creaking As though it were scant of grease. I have tried, but I try it vainly, The one lost word to divine Which came from the keys of my typewriter And so would pass as mine. It may be some other typewriter Will produce that word again. It may be. but only for others— 1 shall write henceforth with a pen.
