Dover High School - Swirl Yearbook (Dover, OH)

Homrighausen, “Squirt” Wible, Gilbert Wasscm, Dick Paddock, and Emmett Riley. Twelve of our classmates were active in the Championship Band, and thirteen were members of the orchestra. We were also well represented in the chorus, the boys and girls’ glee clubs, the Girl Reserve organization, the Hi-Y Club, and the Sock and Buskin dramatic organization. Now, close your eyes a minute and see with me two red sweaters, energetic gesticulations, vivacious personalities. You'll never forget the admirable performances of Winnie English and Fratiklyn Bair, cheer leaders for four and two years, respectively, which brought words of praise from newspapermen, radio announcers, and spectators at the State Basketball Tournament in 193 3. We indeed were fortunate to be in high school when so many honors were brought to the sch(x)l by the various organizations. Four of our boys were members of the Ohio State Championship Team in their Junior year. They were “Doc Kelker, Bud Davis, Tom Homrighausen, and Bob Boyd. Those of us who had the opportunity to go with the team to Columbus shall always remember how we cheered and hoped to win. At home, too, the entire town was watching the papers and buzzing telephones for more last-minute information. In our Junior year our band went to conquer the National Band Championship. We were justly proud to tell the rest of the world we were students in Dover High School. As we review our high school careers, we tenderly remember the little pranks which were so innocently committed but which caused the teachers gray hair and a few bald heads. Shall we ever forget the tricks of the widely-known Jalapo Club? Remember how every teacher stared inquiringly at every boy with a detective's eye in hopes that the offender might be caught? How the boys were flattered to think that their little ideas could worry’ the teachers! Then, too, remember the day we all decided to go on a strike because of the new do-as-I-tell-you rules? Who could forget that inimitable play, “Roman Annuals, which the members of the annual staff composed and presented? Then there were evenings of staying in after school for tardiness; and mornings of early rising to get here at seven-thirty for the same reason; and numerous trips to Mr. Lambert for too much volubility. Those punishments and incidents, large as they seemed at the time of occurrence, were in reality only minor events which, two or three weeks after they were committed, were forgotten, and, we hope, forgiven. We have reached the end of our Senior year. Eager to be graduated, reluctant to leave, hesitatingly fearful to venture forth in Life. Our motto, Not at the top, but climbing, carried us through our high school life. Will it carry us through to the end? Let us not abandon our work, we must succeed. —Dorothy Bernhart, '34, Historian

Senior Class of 1934 Class Motto: 'Tsjot at the top. but climbing. Class Flower: Amfrican Beauty Rose. Class Colors: Purple and Gold. Memories ...... Shall wc ever forget that eventful day, September 2, 1930, when we, as a group of wide-eyed adventurers, entered Dover High School? Remember how we tried to appear as the children of the god Knowledge: and how, to some trickster's glee, we hunted in vain for the elevator which was just around the corner ? Those are memories which, when wc are old and weary of life, will renew joy and fascination in our hearts as we reminisce. As we ponder further, we will recall the first meeting we held. Bob Boyd was chosen as our president; Winnie” English, vice-president; “Dick Paddock, secretary and treasurer; Dorothy Bernhart, historian. That year we enjoyed two skating parties at Studer's Rink. Our Sophomore year began with Scoopy Wible as our leader; Bud Davis, his assistant; “Tom Homrighauscn, banker; and Dot Bernhart, scribe. Being the traditional Sophisticated Sophomores, we esteemed ourselves dignified to throw aside childish entertainment for a dance, which was held at the Franklin Inn. Later, a unique depression dance, which was held in the gym, provided our second party. Do you remember what fun we had falling on that newly waxed floor, and our dignities? And do you remember our Junior year when it was decided to have only eight months of school because the shekels were scarce? Remember what a “break we thought we were getting? That is, until the dear teachers informed us that we must complete the same amount of work regardless of time? Oh, well, there is a compensation for everything, be it good or bad. That year Franklyn Bair received the sceptre of guidance; Tom Homrighauscn assumed the vice-presidency; Bob Boyd became secretary-treasurer; “Dot Bernhart, historian; and Scoopy Wible, Junior editor. A skating party provided entertainment for the first semester, and the latter part of the year we entertained the departing Seniors with a successful Prom. A nautical theme was carried out, with our program and dance held aboard the ship S. S. Roosevelt. Then, all too soon, we embarked upon the final year of our high school life. We were seniors, eager to be graduated, but Reluctance leered at us from the shadows and made us wish for “just one more year. To steer us into home port we chose Jim Stieber as captain; Bud Davis, mate; Doc Kclker, treasure guard; Dot Bernhart, reporter; and 'Scoopy Wible, annual editor. That year our final private party was a dance at the Franklin Inn. Do not think that our class desired social life alone, for we didn't. We were well represented in football and basketball, beginning with our freshman year. Among our honored athletes were the famous Doc Kelker, Bud Davis, Dave Wible, Bill Shumaker, Max Mizer, Sam Lombardo, Eddie Morris, Leroy Smith, Linus Harmon, Max Mason, Emmett Riley, Bob Boyd, and Bill Vierheller, all gridiron stars. The hardwood honors go to Doc Kelker, Bud Davis, Derlin Miller, Bob Boyd, Tom
