i January and June Senior Classes of 1928 I Today To be alive i)i such an aye! With every year a lightning page Turned in the world’s great wonder book Whereon the leaning nations look. O age with wings! O age that flings .4 challenge to the very sky, Where endless realms of conquest lie. When miracles are every where And every inch of common air Throbs a tremendous prophecy Of greater marvels yet to be. When hid within a lump of clay, A light more terrible than day Proclaims the presence of that Force Which hurls the planets on their course. rAngela Morgen Page two To be alive in such an age! With every year a lightning page Turned in the world's great wonder book Whereon the leaning nations look. Dedication To Miss Edna Sutton Mrs. Willia Brownfield Mr. H. C. Harnish Mr. H. C.

Page eighteen REFLECTOR-OLYMPIAD Class of January 1928 The January class of 1928 has made itself an influential and active asset in Glenville’s long list of graduating groups. Its colors, russet and tan, distinguished the group in but one way. Its capability of organizing into a sociable and in- tellectual body, has made it wholly individual. Each member became a part of the unit, and a strong representative body together with five officers were chosen to carry out the activities according to its will. CLASS OFFICERS George Meckler ...

Jacob Wole Paye fifty-four REFLECTOR-OLYMPIAD Class of June 1928 The sophomore year and the first half of the junior year of the June ’28 Class were spent, like other classes, in getting acquainted. After they had acquired their rings, as llA’s they took action to become an organized group. Two members were elected from each of the 11A homerooms as representatives to the House. The faculty advisers chosen were Mrs. Willia M. Brownfield and Mr. Harry C. Biddle, who immediately co-operated with the House in planning the election of the five officers. After an enthusiastic battle the results were found to be as follows: George Siegal, President; Ruth Bialosky, Vice-President; Walter E. Klein, Secretary ; Franklyn Marks, Treasurer; and Maurice Goldman, Chairman of the Entertainment Committee. At a class assembly these officers were introduced and given a chance to tell of their intentions. The class is especially proud since it has the distinction of being the only class in Glenville's history to have the class president also valedictorian. The vice-president followed, a close second. The House of Representatives has been the governing body of the June ’28 Class and it has determined its policies and actions. 12A HOUSE MEMBERS Robert Cathcart Letha Craft Cecil Chessin Helen Freiberg Ida Horr Theodore Isenstadt Stuart Kelly Geraldine Kepner Walter Klein Albert Kramer Bertram Loveman Helen Mantwill Franklyn Marks Esther Mintz Stanley Ott Frances Perlick Rosalyn Perlick Gustav Reich Regina Reiter Rena Rothman Leopold Rovner Eugene Stadtler Sadie Stavsky Advisers: Mrs. W.

Page fifty-eight REFLECTOR-OLYMPIAD Graduation By Robert Iseman We, members of the 12A class Bid dear old Glenville bye; alas We may not face the world together And unified meet that stormy weather Which life too soon will bring our way. Too many shall deplore this day Which places us upon our own To sink or swim, and all alone. That present feeling of elation Caused by our coming graduation Too soon will go; although for some There will be joy for years to come, These are the few; the rest will feel The imprint of Life’s merciless heel Grinding them to suit her need, Or bending them like slender reed Before an irresistible wind Bent till no one e’er could find A proof its stem was ever straight. This is an irrevocable state Met by the youth of every year And most successfully met with cheer And resignation; nothing can Cure this dread plague pursuing man: That on Youth's unaccustomed breast The chief weight of the world should rest. Soon we scatter, each his way Nor will all meet again some day; For each of us himself must take His own path; his own destiny make. Some will go on to wealth and fame. Some make themselves a noble name, While others, sad but true to say Despondent will lie some blue day; Some to misery and hunger left, And others of all joys bereft. Yet such is life; this is our fate To live thus and to hope and w’ait. In times to come, one’s weary mind Returns, sweet peace and joy to find In living over these great days Of which the memory always stays With us, in mourning or in joy. Those petty cares which did annoy Our untried minds, now seem so slight Compared with those we now must fight. Those were the days of kindling hope. We were not such to sit and mope; Although our troubles pressed us hard, Still nothing could our joys retard. The days were fraught w’ith sheer delight; No haunting dread nor gnaw'ing fright Could plague us long in heedless youth. Alas! too soon w’e learn Life’s truth. This time of life is nearly gone, Deserving of the spoils we’ve won We leave, prepared to meet our fate W’ith zeal that nothing can abate If w’e but treasure to the last A memory of these days just passed. Of all, this is our greatest day For now, inspired, we may say: “Our joyful high school days are done, And our new life is well begun.” Hearth-Fire By Ann Aronovitz I sit and watch the leaping flames That weave about in weirdest dance; There tear-drops gleam, and rubies burn; I sit and watch them in a trance. There is the robin’s flaming breast, There is a cloud of palest blue, And there are flow'ers that never bloomed, Of every shape and every hue. And there are nymphs beside a brook, And pale green waters of the sea, The elfs of dreamland dance about And rise on w’ings of phantasy. And there a weeping willow bends, And seems to whisper tales of woe; Or is it just the wind that sighs As the flames die into a glow? The glow’ing embers paler gleam, The flaming red is changed to gold, And then the gold fades into grey, And all that’s left is ashes cold. Page fifly-nine REFLECTOR-OLYMPIAD Quill Pens and Ink-Pots By William Palm Ours is an age of progress and invention. Everyone is so obsessed with the idea of labor saving that even the most trivial of acts are done by some kind of motor or engine. The floors are polished by an electrical device that can be pushed about; street car doors open and shut when one steps on a certain board; photographs are taken and developed “while you wait”; the old fashioned bookkeeper who, comfortably attired in his shirt sleeves, used to pore over his big, bound ledgers has been put out of commission by a shining contrivance that needs only to be punched a couple of times to perform prodigious feats of mathematical calculation; even the lowly match has been given a severe blow by a wonderful little instrument that opens to present a bright flame. From the breakfast coffee to the device that stokes the furnace when one retires for the night, this inventing craze has gone on until the average citizen refuses to have anything to do with a handmade article. And the thing is spreading. Instead of peacefully dying out as any well bred fad ought, it keeps growing by leaps ami bounds. Art has been conquered and possibly the time will come when we Occidentals will follow the example of our eastern brothers who offer Buddha whole batches of prayers at a time by means of a little wheel they turn. However, my grievance comes from the fact that literature has also fallen under the spell of this movement. The schedules that authors set for themselves can be excused by ambition but there can be no excuse for mechanical methods of production. To-day a man refuses to call himself an author unless he pounds his stuff out on a battered typewriter. Some few use fountain pens and lead pencils but these are classed as fogies who have no place in the ranks of decent, up-to-date, literary gentlemen. Past and gone are those implements of writing that helped produce countless master-pieces. The quill pen and the ink-pot have been discarded because they are not conducive to mass production and in their place stands the typewriter which relieved the author of so much drudgery but which at the same time relieved his work of its greatest quality, that of intimate and personal contact with its creator. Can one imagine Shakespeare painfully picking out the letters that went to form the immortal Hamlet? Or can one imagine Dickens dashing off The Christmas Carol? Of course not, but one can easily imagine the modern junk being jerked off mechanically. Let the modernists say what they may, there was something magical about quill pens and ink-pots. Practical minded people try to evade the question by saying that some authors were geniuses but only the good Lord knows how much help those great writers received from their lowly pens and ink bottles. Those common place ink-pots were magical jars wherein was stored by kind and beautiful fairies the plots and characters and golden words we find to-day in old books. Distilled into that dark liquid there was the atmosphere of the Orient that surrounds the beautiful almond-eyed daughters and the brave fighting sons of Fair Cathay, there was a squadron of slow sailing ships driving its way across uncharted seas toward new land, adventure and treasure; there was a moving wood bearing down upon a murderer’s hand and heart, there was the the life of a lone man on an island far from civilization, there were the adventures of a man among giants and pigmies, there was the deep-rooted despair of a man locked away in an underground dungeon, there was the peace and quiet of a fisherman’s happy days spent by smooth-flowing rivers. Such was the magical content of the lowly ink-pots. To the practical eye they were only common little bottles of ink, worth, perhaps, a few pence. Only a few knew the wonderful powers that were concentrated in those mystical glass jars. Few knew but still fewer possessed the whole secret, for the magic was net all contained in the ink-pot. Thousands used their ink bottles in vain attempts to become famous, but only that select few Page sixty REFLECTOR-OLYMPIAD who wrote only for the sake of literature were given the “sesame that opened for them the realms of romance and of the human mind besides. The ink-pot furnished the material, the quill was the instrument that turned a dark liquid of latent powers into a living, potential stream of inspiring words. Only the pen could do that and what a fit tool for writing it was. Sharp pointed as an arrow of war, as graceful and bending and tough as a forest sapling, soft-plumed as the peaceful, domestic goose, the quill pen was the direct agency for most of what is great and good in literature. Some say the mind moved the pen. The minds of common people moved their pens but the magical pens of geniuses were moved by no mind. Invisible spirits pushed them and the hand gathered in the impressions that made the egotistical mind think it was the motivating power. Small wonder it is then that Conrad used a pen and Galsworthy uses one today. Those authors early found the secret of the quill pen and the ink-pot. Authors may write so many pages a day, so many books a year until the only thing that does not come in regularly is the remuneration. If the systematic writers prefer to use the typewriter, let them. Perhaps it explains the crying need of modern times for more great authors. Anyway, he wrho persists in turning an art into a science deserves to die of starvation in a rat-infected garret. SONNET —Harold Tuthill At first we dream, on things not ours we sleep; Our life is soft and warm from others’ care. And so our bark goes drifting onward; where, We do not ask; a course that others keep. Soon splits in several branches, this broad deep, And then we wake, and pondering which to dare, We flit on helpless wing, and wondering stare To find what will be self-secure to leap. The dream is past, our god we now must find; The mouth that we must take to lead us to The bay must well be chosen, else we do Not live, we miss the clue to life and mind! 0, Thing, intangible! ere I retire, While floating down, reveal to me thy fire! WHAT LOVE SAYS By Arthur H. Feher She was away before I caught my breath; Her face was pale and bloodless, like to death, And frightened, and from her hair a wreath In shreds hung down. I’ve seen her so before, but now she bore A sadder smile than any anguish sore, Intenser, and I thought those burnt tears four She’d got but now. I’d searched for her far, far, far into the night Among the sisters of the sea. My sight Grew dimly sad and when I saw her white I did rejoice. But she’s away and I can only guess It was her spirit I saw, and she’s in some recess Of gentle trees and spends her loneliness With her own sweet voice. Page sixty-one REFLECTOR OLYMPIAD Americans All By George Segal Time—The Stunited Ates in the year 1927 A. D. Place—Any collegiate or scholastic institution in the Stunited Ates would do; for dramatic purposes, the action begins in the temple of great god SPORTS.

Page sixty-three REFLECTOR-OLYMPIAD The Daily Miracle By Ruth Goldstein What is it that awakens you ever morning from the sleep that robs you of two-thirds of your life? What is it that summons you back to the pulsing, bustling world of day? And again, after the sun’s glare has dimmed and the day has sapped you of the morning’s vitality, what is it that acts upon you with softly soporific influence and gives you repose? It is that universal means of expression—music. The rhythmic, insistent call of the alarm clock argues that it is time to awake. Its reverberating waves of sound increase and diminish (with conscientious regard to the crescendo marks) and faithfully follow the clockmaker’s barbaric imitation of the “Reveille.” Crude as it may seem, here we see music as the agent of Aurora, the awakener. Surely at night, you have snuggled deeper into the embracing bedclothes, complacently glad of your luxurious retreat far from the weird cry of the foghorn; and when you have finally been lulled to sleep, it was because of the rhythm in its fiendish wails and continuous lamentations. Alas, there are many musically deformed minds that can find no beauty in these sounds. But, what is much worse, there are many who can retain their stoical calm, even when the orchestra is swaying to the scintillating glow and warmth of the “Spanish Dance,” or when even the pillars catch the pleading strength of “Samson’s Love Song.” When others are brought to the very verge of tears by the lugubrious sweetness of Chopin’s music and the inspired love songs of Schubert, or the pliant beauty of Mendelssohn, they lean back in their seats and ignorantly smile at the receptiveness of the music lovers. They are not to be scorned, but deeply pitied. They can never know what an immense amount of pleasure in merriment, and solace in grief, they miss. For there is no such perfect source of consolation as music. There is a song for every mood, an amazing adaptability to your emotions in every sonata. If some people cannot appreciate the glorious masterpieces, they can surely never hear what some of us do daily—the miracle of a symphony in the process of formation. This may sound far-fetched, but is there not music in girlish laughter, running the gamut of scales and thrills? In the aimless improvisations of a sleeping person’s solo renditions, there is a fascinating rhythm and syncopation. The eerie howl of a cat at night has been often met by silencing missiles hurled by irate masters, but is not its plaintive, child-like cry a forceful type of primitive music? That is the sort of sound that must have inspired Saint-Saens’ truly realistic “Dance Macabre.” The self-satisfied puffing of a kettle realizing its ambition of producing scalding water, is an interesting study in musical portraits. Its first staccato attempts at emitting steam, the laborious chords at its fulfilment, its steadily increasing confidence displayed in brilliant runs, and— the crashing stupendous climax when the lid is lifted!—ah, there you have music in “still life”—a whole symphony. One might enlarge endlessly on this theme, for all sounds are part of a great composition of music. It would be wonderful to be transported somewhere into space where one could hear this great symphony under the direction of the Master’s baton. I wonder—would it echo the joyousness of a baby’s laugh, or the heartbreaking grief of a bereaved mother? Would it have the simple sprightliness of a folk-song or the pompous gravity of a funeral march, for its theme? This Song of life is too big and vague a thing for us to analyze; it is just what we, the players, make it. So let us each contribute his harmonious measure, blending and not clashing with the sweet notes of other musicians.

No one knew just how long. The house seemed aloof from the street; it was reserved and unneighborly. Its lace-curtained windows stared unsee-ingly at the people passing by. They were very clean windows and appeared to be washed oftener than those of the houses on either side. Yet it was seldom that the inmates of the house were noticed about the premises. The grass was always mown and free from papers, sticks, or dead leaves. But no one was seen to cut the grass, or to pick up any refuse that might chance to be there. It was generally understood that the old woman who resided there had been dying slowly for several years. Her decease had been rumored many times, but the report was always eventually proved untrue. Her “living death” had been a favorite and long-surviving topic for gossip among the wives and mothers of the street. Dire tales were told of other persons who had suffered from the same disease. But no one was sure how ill the aged creature really was. There was only one person who knew, and that was Nellie, her constant companion and attendant. But Nellie never told the neighbors about conditions in the house. She did not realize how eagerly they picked up any crumbs of information about the sickness in that quiet place. Their affairs did not interest her, and by the same token she did not believe hers to be a source of backfence conversation. Nellie was like the house: stolid, reserved, colorless. Like the starched lace curtains at the windows, she looked out upon the world without actually seeing it. Perhaps her mind was preoccupied with the care of the invalid. But people said that she was “queer.” There were no men in the house, nor were there children. No voices called gaily and heartily through the rooms, no light footsteps pattered up and down the stairs. The old lady’s quavering accents, and the other woman’s slow replies were the only sounds penetrating to the still ears of the house. One morning the ancient dwelliner seemed grayer than ever. The early rays of the sun did not light up the place; rather they threw it into shadow. There was no perceptible change in its surroundings but there was a subtle change in the expression of the house. Passersby looked at it strangely and glanced quickly away. The house seemed to be unfolding its secret but no one wanted to see. It made them shudder. And because they turned away, they did not observe imprints of various sizes on the soft earth. Some one had intruded upon the house which had been shut in from prying eyes for so long. At the hour when Nellie was accustomed to do her shopping, she did not appear. It is certain that she did not go out, because the lady next door was sewing on her porch all morning. She watched and waited and wondered. When dusk fell, there was no light at the upper window, but that was not very unusual. It was a hot summer night, and the two women probably preferred the dark. The doors were not open, but most old women are not fresh air fiends. The gentle breeze that ruffled the tree tops did not touch the old place—it was very quiet. When the grass began to grow long, and the windows to grow slightly dimmed with the dust from the street, the now ever increasing curiosity of the neighbors changed something akin to fear. Mothers told their children to be less noisy in their play, and gave no reason when asked why. Discussions about the house were carried on in low tones, and the people squirmed when strangers asked questions. They did not admit to each other that they were afraid, nor what they feared. They did not want to acknowledge the foolish dread which enveloped them. Plans were made in that erstwhile sleepy village only to be set aside. Why should they concern themselves? It was none of their business they argued, to interfere with people, who evidently cared to be left alone, or to pry into their affairs. It was injured pride that spoke then. In their hearts they were anxious Page sixty-six REFLECTOR-OLYMPIAD to know the reason, but they fought the desire and were still. At last some of the braver burghers decided to investigate. Nellie had bought no food in the last few’ days, nor was her small vegetable garden disturbed. The grass was now quite long. It was forenoon when a self-appointed committee opened the heavy front door with a master key. When it closed behind them, it wras like an ominous knell. There is no need to tell of how they searched the house throwing w'ide the windows, although they knew what they would find. Curiosity overcame apprehension. It was the first time any of them had been inside the house, but they did not linger. The deserted rooms told them nothing of Nellie or her charge. Chairs, standing about, as if ill at ease, gave no clue. The curtains at the window's hung stiff and straight. No note or message revealed the reason for the strange departure. But the clock, striking in a prim, stilted fashion, seemed to say “Gone, forever gone. TO A RECALCITRANT LANDLADY By Alfred Wilhelmi Good day, madame! Wouldst stay thy zephyr step, And lend a shell-pink ear that peeps anon Through silken bars—those shining tresses dark— And hearken to my plea?—One hesitates To bring so slight a matter to your ken,— It is so trivial! And yet I know' You would not have a single untoward thing To mar the swreet perfection of your house, Or blast the equanimity of those Within its gleaming portals. Now, this morn, j s is my w'ont, I rose, and, bathrobe donned Forthwith, made eager haste unto the bath. Therein I found all cozy, and remarked The generosity of that rich warmth, And blessed the angel fair who made it so. But when I came to fill the snow-white tub With liquid whereby I should lave myself. The tab marked ‘HOT’ did state a craven lie; And falsely issued forth therefrom a stream Of chilling water. Sore dismayed wras I, And loath to think it true. The constant care Which you afford these rooms belies the case. But it, alas! was so. No doubt your mind Was occupied with sundry comforts dear To us, and in its helpful thinking clear, This lowdy importunity forgot; I made remark of it one time before. But surely one so lovely both of form And feature, one whose cooking would please kings, And one w'ho keeps so orderly a house, Could never stand to see the meanest man, Her tenant, suffer. You w-ill see to it? I knew' that one so graceful and so kind Could not refuse. My thanks, madame, good day! WHAT CARE I By Edith Stein Glinting sunbeams dance cheerily; And ’tis the very youth in me Free at last from prison bars That’s springing up in ecstasy. And what care I for dreary days, Or bleary clouds, and sombre walls! When in the fresh and dewy morn,’ I hear the merry robins’ calls. Like a bird I w'ant to feel The rush of air against my face; And, as the sun sinks in the sky, To soar,—and soar in endless space. ’Till tw'ilight fades away, and night Throw’s ’round the earth, her cloak of dark; Then by some rippling pool to sleep Lulled by the lone song of a lark. Page sixty-seven REFLECTOR-OLYMPIAD Colonial Home By Lloyd Fulton HOUSE BUILT R) MR. REMAN There can be no more hopeful sign in the cultural life of a people than the appearance of a popular interest in one or another of the arts. The fact that there is a genuine and growing interest in architecture in America is of extreme importance; it indicates that the period of indifference is past, not only among the few but among the many. The old idea that beauty and utilitarianism were two different things has been succeeded by a grasp of the truth that they are not mutually exclusive—a proper understanding of the one will forward the other. From the beginning of American Colonization up to the present swiftly-moving, commercial world, man has had an ever increasing interest in his home. At first the word “home” held not the meaning that it does to the luxurious people of today, namely, rest and pleasure, but it afforded their main protection against the savages, or as a meeting place for worship. With this in mind let us look back to the period when home-building and settlement in America really came into its own. During the Georgian period of England, the Colonies in America assumed an importance of their own. Imitation of the architecture of the mother country was established. The classic revival of architecture was at its height in Europe at the time when our colonies were in the process of early development. The classicism of the lines and mouldings had a permanent effect on our architecture. The first homes of marked difference and individualism were the colonials built from 1600 to 1700. Architecturally, these dwellings were very plain and simple. Among these early homes an old stone house at Guilford, Connecticut, is worthy of considerable attention. It was erected by Reverend Henry Whittfield in 1634. It is the oldest house in New England, retaining its original form until 1868, when it was remodeled. The building consisted of two stories and an attic which had several recesses for storage and concealment. The walls were of stone about three feet thick, thus offering an excellent protection in case of a severe attack. The stone employed in the construction was obtained from a quarry about eighty rods from the site. Time and labor for the transportation was great. When a large space was desired for a gathering, the partitions could be folded back. Oak was used for the entire woodwork. The bricks employed in construction were often burned on the site. Timbers were dragged from neighboring forests, the transportation of materials being relatively high. Loopholes were inserted in the walls, the door ways were guarded with iron to withstand any attack. Chimneys usually rose from each end of the house to a considerable height. Little or no ornament with the exception of an occasional belt course at the second floor level was used. Page sixty-rig III REFLECTOR-OLYMPIAD The early cottage type developed by extending the roof in a long sweep over the one story part in the rear. Later this feature in the roof was adopted in the front as well. Stone carvings, which later were added as a method of beautification were very crude. Along the Potomac River could be found the most beautiful homes in America at that time. Among these, the most famous was probably Mount Vernon. Two story columns crowned with classical cornices formed a very attractive feature. Two adjoining wings, and a dozen out-wings grouped symmetrically, presented a most pleasing appearance. The architectural drawing department of Glenville High School under the supervision of Mr. Beman is preparing more than one hundred complete sets of house plans each year. Many of these house plans from which homes have been built, have been put into practical use. The accompanying picture is a photograph of a colonial home, located at 3035 Huntington Road, Shaker Heights. It was erected from plans prepared by Eugene Campbell while a student attending Glenville High School. It is indeed very interesting to note that Mr. Campbell is still pursuing his chosen profession of architecture and is now enrolled as a junior in Ohio State University. His plans were accepted by the Van Sweringen Company. The engineer of Shaker Heights accorded his approval of the house. The exterior of the dwelling is covered with cedar shingles which were dipped in white creosote stain, and given three coats of stain applied by brush. This gives a soft finish harmonizing with the blue-green shutters. Not a common steel nail is used in the exterior. The nails are made of iron, hot dipped in zinc, a precaution which insures great durability. An individual design is employed in the flag-stone floors of the three porches. The entire exterior trim is cypress, a wood which resists weather very efficiently. The furnace and fuel rooms are sealed in masonry walls. A separate excavation with an earthen floor is used for storing vegetables. The recreation room in the basement is a very attractive feature, having a brick fire-place and a maple floor for dancing. The entire first floor wall and ceilings have a covering of canvas, which is hand stippled, two coats of white lead and oil being applied. Two vents, one from ceiling to ceiling and another from floor to floor of the furnace room and the unfinished part of the third floor under the eaves, work automatically. In the coldest weather excess heat from the boiler room is delivered to the third floor by the ceiling vent. The cooled air then returns by means of the floor vent. A beautiful black and gold marble fireplace, which is designed similar to those antiques now in museums, and taken from the eastern mansions, is a feature of the charming living room. A flat deck, six by sixteen feet at the top of the roof, is accessible by a manhole over the third floor. The house is thoroughly insulated by the addition of the best material for that purpose on the market. This added feature makes a house similar to a thermos bottle, keeping it warm in winter and cool in summer. The dwelling is thirty-eight feet wide and thirty feet deep. The site is on a Page sixty-nine REFLECTOR-OLYMPIAD corner lot, triangular in shape, with a sweeping frontage of over two hundred thirty feet on the two streets. A vision of both Huntington and Southington Roads for a considerable distance can be had. In the future, man will go on constructing homes. Undoubtedly he will carry out his forefathers’ plan in his home. As a result, the colonial type of architecture will always be in existence, always distinct, never extinct. Grandma’s Li’l Tootsy-Wootsy By Cecil Chessin If you’re an aunt or an uncle you’ll understand when I speak of these fond, yes, worshipping grandparents. After the announcement, “It’s a boy!” the fun begins. It seems that everyone in Cleveland must be called on the ’phone and given the glad news. There is much laughing and crying and rushing about. Everything is neglected for a day or two because what grandmother can bother with a mere house and insignificant husband and children when a brand-new grand-son is at the hospital eagerly (?) a-waiting her arrival? Then the great climax, when the two grandmothers meet there to discuss the baby. “Why,” says one, “he’s the picture of Edith!” This is the latter’s mother speaking of course. And the other, “Oh, I think he resembles Dan. His nose, his chin, everything!” The war is on. In our family we call this the he looks like so-and-so” stage. The poor baby is compared with about every member of the family (my mother insisted when my first nephew was born, that he was the image of me; pity the poor child!) The truth of the whole matter is that a baby never resembles any one in particular until he gets quite a little older. However, try to tell that to an adoring grandparent. After the first wild excitement abates somewhat, comes the “Let’s name him so-and-so” stage. Everything from Alexander to Zeus is suggested and each of the family airily scorns the others’ suggestions. Usually a happy medium is struck. (It seems the poor baby ought to have more to say about it than he does!) But almost always, after much pondering and solemn deliberation on an appropriate name such as Richard Alvin, or Marvin Jerome, or Howard Jay, some bright uncle pops up one day with “Bud” or “Sonny” and, “Bud” or “Sonny” the baby is called thereafter! So, after all is said and done, what’s in a name? The third stage we call the “He’ll be a so-and-so” one. If the innocent little one has both hands clenched in fists, “Oh he's gonna be a prize-fighter!” immediately shouts some ten year-old cousin, who is forthwith silenced by a reproving look from a shocked grandmother. Or if he likes, as any ordinary, healthy baby does, to pound on the piano, or stops crying when the radio is tuned in, this is a sure sign he’ll be a great musician. A harmonious yowling (is there such a thing?) means he'll be a Caruso. Of course the President comes in for his share at this time too. But of all the suggestions, those of the grandmothers take the prize. Lawyer, doctor, millionaire, steel magnate— all these the baby is certainly going to be when he grows up. There is also the “now he can do so-and-so” stage: that of the first tooth, first word, first step. What raptures he inspires! He does his little tricks perfectly beautifully at home, but before visitors, never a smile, never a da-da-da, never anything the eager mother wants to show off. However he is a source of never ending joy and surprise, and everything is forgiven in one flash of those tiny, adorable dimples. Grandmothers are patient and wonderful, I think. If you should see our house after a visit from my nephews or niece! To say it is upside-down is putting it mildly. In the hasty exit, (they’re always in a rush because “the baby will catch cold bundled up inside”) a box of powder, a bottle, something is always left behind. My mother is so tired—sweet as babies are, they certainly can be tiring—but, as she says “It was worth it!” and the next time will give up her Sunday again to go through the same thing. But, somehow, it seems perfectly natural for her to do it, because, well, after all, isn’t she the little darling’s grandma? Voye seventy REFLECTOR-OLYMPIAD Sunset By Aileen Goldman It was on a bright, warm June morning that the great show of Zuirk and Vaux made its third annual appearance in the little village of Chercher-la-Joie. A merry crowd of robust, healthy-looking farmers had gathered at the square to welcome the gay troupe. The animals and colored birds discussed their audience in a wild unintelligible talk. Scantily clothed girls, whose painted faces glittered in the sun, tripped daintily from side to side, adding to the brilliant spectacle. And surely Doodles, here, was no unhappy person. His large, baggy pantaloons twisted and turned from side to side as he jauntily swung along. The costume he wore was half orange and half black, and over his slightly graying temples was placed a high fool's cap. Big red spots on the clown’s nose and cheeks, painted over the white pasty powder, made him so comical that he was greeted with guffaws of laughter. He was a fine sight to set before a town. He would hop first on one foot and then on the other. Now, before one might say, “Jack Rabbit,” he had turned a somersault and had attempted some other stunt which was done so skillfully and gracefully that he had the overjoyed crowd crying for more and more. He was ever jumping and skipping; ever laughing and singing; ever prepared with a cheerful word for the younger children who carefully watched his very breathing. And although it was known that Doodles was not entirely sane, he amused the people with his delightful tricks and they worshipped him. So the first day wore on. When the afternoon performance was over, Doodles went to his wagon to bathe and dress. Water soon cleaned his worn, drawn face of the red blotches, and a dark, well-fitting suit replaced the baggy outfit of the morning. This accomplished, he sat down upon the step, his hands covering the bowed head. The setting sun burned through the trees, and little rays of sunshine played about him as he moodily studied the ground. Then, as ever, his thoughts, roved back to that dreadful event which had come to him like a burst of thunder out of a clear sky. It had occurred several years back, long before Mark Finne had even dreamed of becoming a circus clowm. He had been a splendid young musician, playing first violin in the symphonic orchestra of Toc-siesci. One afternoon he returned home from a difficult rehearsal to find no welcoming faces which gladdened his heart. Instead, where the little gabled cottage had stood was a high smoldering mass of cinders. Bewildered, he ran to the scene, where some kind neighbor gently broke the news to him. His wife and three year old child had been in the house when an overheated oven had burst, tearing down the walls. Everything Mark had ever loved was crushed under that terrible pile of burning wood. His Edith, his Buddy! No more would he be greeted by their happy smiles and soft, sweet kisses. Unable to reconcile his thoughts to any manner of life without them, he began loudly to curse the powers of that Almighty Being who rules our destinies. Convulsive sobs shook his entire body and suddenly he sank in a heap upon the ground. Months passed in a sanitarium, situated midst the hills of New Hampshire, far from the scene of this disaster. When finally permitted to leave, he had become physically well, but it was generally believed that his mind was not so strong as it had formerly been. He was anxious to go out into the world in search of his dear ones whom he had lost. He never had brought himself to realize that they were dead, but always thought that they were merely hiding, a game they had often played together. As a child, he had admired most of anything in the circus the funny man with the painted face, who had fewrer cares than any other person in the world. Therefore, when the company of Quirk and Vaux came to the big city, he had entered as one of the many circus clowns. For twenty-three long years, Mark Finne Paac seventy-one REFLECTOR-OLYMPIAD had kept up this difficult task of showing only his happy-go-lucky traits to the world. As yet, God had not seen fit to reunite him with his beloved ones. A soft gurgling laugh came to him midst his reverie. Glancing up, he looked into the bright little face of a darling baby boy. Could it be?—it must be he! The same unruly golden curls, the same wistful blue eyes,—the child was standing just as he had pictured him—contentedly sucking his thumb. With a startled cry, the man clasped the little one to his breast and heaved a deep sigh of content. As evening was throwing her dark veil over the village of Chercher-la-Joie, a frantic mother was anxiously searching the streets for her young son. The child had not been seen since early in the after- noon. Near the circus grounds, she came upon a strange scene. A distinguished looking gentleman, lay, face downward, on the ground before his wagon. His tiny companion, sitting on a step, amused himself by pulling the strings of an exquisite violin he held in his chubby hands. The woman caught the child to her breast and fondled the dimpled arms and thick curly locks. Then she looked at the man. He appeared to be sleeping, a sweet smile playing about the corners of his mouth. His hands were folded over his heart as if he were offering a prayer of thanks to God. The woman stooped over and gently touched one hand. Alarmed by its coldness, she shook the massive shoulders, but he stirred not. A long-sought joy had come to Mark Finne. Sunset had brought him peace. Page seventy-two REFLECTOR-OLYMPIAD Dawn of Reason By Helen L. Meyer CHARACTERS Ciiarmaine Eric Shephered Goody Mall SCENE A long dusty road winds through a dreary country region. It is a sultry afternoon and there is a peculiar dryness in the air. Two travelers are walking side by side, earnestly debating with each other. One is a tall, fair girl, lithesome and supple, with clear gray eyes and a high, smooth brow. Her companion, slightly shorter than herself and thick-set, shuffles moodily at her side. But his eyes are gentle and persuasive and there is something noble about his features despite the stubborn set of his bullet-shaped head. Charmaine: (defiantly) I prithee, let me be. I love the world and the world loves me. Eric: Is the world so kind? No— How can you say you find it so? Why do you live and laugh and love, Glow with the sun, coo with the dove? Is the world so pure? No— I do not analyze it so. A fierce bright thing with a demon's soul, A thousand lives its daily toll. Do you love this? Ciiarmaine: (gently) When the sun is high in the crystal sky— There are flowers, my dear, and trees . . A little brook with a shepherd’s crook. Nothing so dear as a daisy nook. You treat these as a deadly foe? Then—hate the God that made them so! Eric : My eyes have not seen your pictures yet. But I have watched a city bleed and sweat. I have seen great fields strewn with dead, Rivers—hot and fierce and red, Man, with warm, fresh blood upon his breast Rawly thrust into eternal rest. Have you seen that? Ciiarmaine : (shuddering) War and the world! False banners of justice thus unfurled. Men are not men when there is war. Eric : Is that an answer? Fie— That plea rings—a vanquished cry. {Puts a gentle hand on her shoulder) You are young and youth is sweet, But the wings of youth are strangely fleet. Though your innocence is now a shield It is Life’s weakest weapon for age to wield. Ciiarmaine: {drawing herself up proudly with a strange smile on her lips) Eric, if you see centuries roll past Will you know the truth of life at last? ERIC: {staring at her, fascinated) Why, what do you mean? Charmaine: I cannot answer you— This godly wisdom is not yet your due. But lo! See yonder shepherd nigh? If, perchance, he should pass by I will prove to you that I am right Whose innocence, you say, will turn so soon to blight. Eric: {sidlenly) If you prove to me That life is not what I think it be I— Ciiarmaine: Hush, he comes. {Enter young shepherd and halts as Charmaine addresses him) Good shepherd, a moment of your time I seek. Shepherd: Friends, good cheer! A shepherd’s life is a tardy one, I fear. My time is yours. Charmaine: {suddenly) Do you believe in God? Shepherd: {reverently) My Father, my Lord, and my Shepherd. Eric: {spitefully) Is God a shepherd too? Shepherd: And we his loving sheep Page seventy-three REFLECTOR-OLYMPIAD The bounty of his tender care to reap. Eric: By my faith, If there is one breathing creature I would loathe to be ’Tis a sheep. Charmaine: Eric, hush, (to shepherd) Relate to us, with heav’n and hell in view, What meaning does Life hold for you? Shepherd: (pondering with half-closed eyes) I see a river, calm and wide With pleasant banks on either side. But there are hidden rocks and treacherous shoals O’er which the peaceful water rolls. But the careful captain of his soul May safely reach his longed-for goal. Charmaine : (disappointed) But what is that? Shepherd: Every man’s goal Is the reaching-out of his own soul. Charmaine: And what is Life's meaning? Shepherd: Life's meaning Lies in its seeming. Eric: (scornfully) You speak in riddles. Pray, translate. Shepherd: Then—hark! ‘God’s in his heaven. All’s right with the world.’ Eric: (petulantly) You mean all’s wrong with the world. Shepherd: The world is God's gift to man. Let him care for it as well as he can. Keep it as pure and as sweet and as true As the heaven that sheds o’er it crystal dew. Eric: (satirically) Now, what’s it all about? Am I right, or are you? (to shepherd) In my own language may I ask Is there more good or evil in your worldly task? Shepherd: (incredulously) You doubt that life is as bright and true As the spirit in which it was given you? Eric: (sullenly) I see. Then war and death and slaughter— what are they? Shepherd: They are the consequence Of ignorance. The beast in man that is not God. (exits with farewell) Charmaine: (triumphantly) One has passed who has found the light. Friend, do you doubt now who is right? Eric: (hesitantly) I—don’t—know. Charmaine: (exasperated) How can you reason so? Eric: (angrily) A mere boy— Passed up by Life as too dull a toy. A pretty, plump wife and a goodly lot Is all that he wants and all that he’s £ot. Why should he be bitter? Charmaine: (pointing ahead) Since youth doth but rouse your wrath, Here comes age along our path. (enter an old bent woman walking slowly) Eric: (tauntingly) Goody, by your yellow face Where do you go at this furious pace? Goody: (in high-pitched, cackling voice) To town, good sair. Ain’t ye heard they be a fair? Eric: (feigning shock) Good heavens, no! Has the goody then fall’n so low? Goody: Sair, I don’t know who ye be, But God made fairs for me to see. Eric: (desperately) So He made fairs for you! Is there anything God didn’t do? Goody: (shaking head) He gave the world and life to all, But He made fairs for Goody Mall! (exits mumbling) Charmaine: Poor dear! Fairs are all that are left for her. (turning wickedly to Eric) Has gentle age told you naught, Or do you know now what you ought? Eric: (disdainfidly) A babbling crony and her fairs— What does the maudlin know of cares? Charmaine: (a little discouraged) Oh Eric, how can you ever learn Page seventy-four REFLECTOR-OLYMPIAD When you refute Truth at every turn? (suddenly halts, staring ahead) Oh-h Eric! (ecstatically) Eric: (morosely) What now? Comes a cow To tell me why Life is—and how? Charmaine: (gazing rapturously at sunset) Look! There it is all drawn for you In stencilled gold and mauve and blue, Ashes of roses! Sonorous tints! Streaks of crimson! Slim silver glints! There is an ugly green—for war. It shall linger evermore. But now that glamorous kaleidoscope Reveals all love and warmth and hope! Eric: (in awed voice) And—God made that too? Charmaine: (softly) For me—and you. Eric: It is the most beautiful thing I have ever seen! How paltry is that insipid green. The shepherd, the goody and you were right. God is the dwelling-place of light! Curtain A Watery Mood By Edward Cohen Drip—drip—drip—drip. Strange! Here I am in the kitchen, watching the water drip from the tap; dreaming, when I should be writing an essay. Still that steady, regular drip, drip of the water. It reminds one of the hourglass of the ancients. The sand drips steadily, slowly, regularly—for ever and ever, showing the flight of time. Time! I must get to work on my essay. Time flies. Drip—drip—drip. It fascinates me. Just imagine what that dripping water could do. Imagine the tap connected over a huge machine. The water is dripping into a small pan which is unequally balanced. The pan is connected with an electric control. As it fills with water, the pan is overbalanced and tips to one side. As it does so, its connection causes an electrical contact and the great machine works. Soon all the water drips out of the pan, which then settles back to its former horizontal position, breaking the contact and thereby stopping the machine. Just one drop of water dropping after another drop. One after another. Drip —drip—drip. What enormous possibilities, constructive possibilities. Perhaps we leave home for a vacation. We are away for a fairly long time. That very sink at which I am looking becomes clogged. The water continues to drip steadily. W’hen we return, we find that these drops, these harmless drops, have formed a destructive force which has already begun to overflow the sink and soak through the floor, undermining its strength. We are thankful that we have not stayed away longer. Imagine the possibilities. A sunken floor, a ruined house. Possibilities, terrible, destructive possibilities. Just water, clear, cool water. Soothing the parched throat. Cool, misused water, blistering burned hands. Just water, just drops of water. Drip—drip—drip. Construction and destruction. The tale of progress. Time! The slowly pouring sands of time. Oh! what a subject for an essay! I must hurry and write it. How shall I start it? I know. Drip—drip—drip—drip A ragged, shivering gamin stood in front of a show-window, his wonder-widened eyes glued to the marvelous toys, piled so temptingly, yet so unattainable. For about five minutes he stood thus, unmindful of the bitter wind that tore at his tattered clothes; then, as the frost penetrated to his dream-numbed senses he sighed deeply, and turned regretfully away; and I wondered whether it was the cold that dimmed those hungry eyes. Ann Aronovitz Page seventy-five REFLECTOR-OLYMPIAD Who’s Who He holds the personality cup of the 12A class, for personality certainly has made Bill all that he is—one of the foremost seniors of Glenville. You all know him and his brown wavy pompadour. One hundred and fifty senior girls think he is the cutest boy in his class; one august student council thinks he is the one and only president. Besides managing the council Billy finds time to attend Naturalist Club meetings preside as vice-president of the Drama Club, write excellent editorials for the Torch and enjoy himself at Hi-Press Banquets. B. Z. was also a senior sponsor and we all saw him in “The Maker of Dreams,” wearing good old-fashioned knee breeches. With these school activities to maintain, our friend still proves himself a leading scholar of the class, for he ranks thirteenth on the class Honor Roll with an average well above ninety. Some people aspire to be original. Leo doesn’t. He is already in that state. Wasn’t he the one through whose efforts Room 118 secured the coveted June ’28 banner? Wasn’t he the one who conceived and gave life to that inimitable “Yoo Hoo,”—the pride of the dairy? Wasn’t he the one who so admirably painted a picture of Charon on the Styx, a painting which we immediately mistook for Scott’s “Lady of the Lake”? As for further proofs of his originality, merely consult Miss Edwards. Mr. Rover is also Feature Editor of the Torch and so he certainly gives his gift full sway. Here we might casually insert the fact that Leo is idolized completely by all the little feature writers on the board. However, every Glenville student laughs heartily at “Miss Vague,” “The Blow Torch,” the various tales found on page two of the newspaper, and after all they are made possible only by the strict supervision of “Ye Conscientious Rovner.” When he isn’t at the printers or in Room 114, or designing cows and boatmen, Leo usually finds time to walk in on Hi-Press meetings and as an Ex-Senior Sponsor, look up his old charges. We can't conceal the fact that without him the Senior House of Representatives would be the dullest of dull bodies, for he is the chief motion-maker, arguer, and what not. In case you already do not know, he is going to voice his opinions on some noble sentiment this June at Commencement. Look for him. You can't miss him, tall and solid, “built more like home folks.” “Silent Cal of Glenville” Do you know him? W. E. K.? Says Sallie, “Wallie is so bashful.” No person has done more for his school and class than W. E. K. As former editor of the Reflector he steered his periodical through a perilous journey; as secretary of the 12A Class he conscientiously records his minutes; as vice-president of the student council he helps guide its destiny; as member of the 12A House of Representatives he speaks for his constituents too; we don’t know how, but our “Secketary” finds time to go out for track, attend Hi-Y Meetings every Thursday and Hi-Press Banquets every month. Now for a personal discussion, girls, when you see his picture in the Olympiad, .......well its the best photograph in the hook! Mr. K. hopes to be a sailor with a photographer at every port, and is now studying for the entrance examinations to Annapolis Naval Academy. Good Luck. Pane seven tv-sir When miracles arc every where And every inch of common air Throbs a tremendous prophecy Of greater marvels yet to be. Page seventy-seven REFLECTOR-OLYMPIAD George Segal Our President and Valedictorian By Hyman Shecket Many are the luminaries that have passed through Glenville’s reverent portals, leaving vivid and impressive memories, but there are few whose graduation from this institution of learning will be felt more keenly than that of the model of the Glenville faculty and the idol of the Senior Class. We are paying tribute to the illustrious president and leader of the Senior Class, otherwise the head of that body’s scholarly cohorts as valedictorian —George J. Segal. We had a good deal of trouble reaching our “star,” but our reception was so cordial that we were immediately reassured. We asked the peculiar question, “How do you spend your time outside of school?” “Well,” was the response, “you might say that I’m president of the Jewish Center High School and (with modesty characteristic of the great) that I have won some prizes in scholarship.” Yes we may suggest that outside of his school sphere, George has upheld the remarkable standard to which he so admirably adhered at Glenville. He is president of the Center High School Class and has received the highest scholarship awards in both his junior and senior years at that institution. We then inquired as to his past career and learned that until .the sixth grade George disliked school bitterly; his sole interest lay in athletics. But when he entered Empire Junior High, he altered his views about school and came to prominence as a member of the Student Council and the French Club, playing the leading role in the French annual play. Lest we forget, he also ranked very high in scholarship at Empire. Then he came to Glenville. He first attempted football, but after losing thirty-two pounds in a few weeks, he thought best to withdraw from that field of activity. From then his success was perpetual ; he became a member of the Student Council, tried his hand at writing for the Torch, entered the Dramatic Club to become secretary and treasurer, and achieved the position of Editor of the An- nual subboard. Of course, he starred in French and refers to his leading role in our annual French play as “one of my fondest recollections.” Oh yes, George further boasts his triumph as “star center” of the Glenville Lightweight Basketball team. “How do you feel about leaving Glenville?” was our next inquiry. “Leaving school will be like pulling a strip of adhesive tape. It hurts much and leaves a sore spot. I have been ideally happy here; the breaking off at one stroke of so many affiliations is a source of much real sorrow.” George meant it; we were convinced of his sincerity. In answer to our next question concerning his opinions of the Senior Class, he replied, Full of pep and cooperation, always ready for full steam ahead, helpful and sympathetic, friendly, inquisitive and delightfully original—the class of June '28 leads. In social and class functions they have made work a pleasure; I can’t express my opinion suitably —for one might laugh at the string of complimentary adjectives which is the just due of our class.” As you are quite a favorite of our faculty, you ought to know them; how do they impress you?” After a pause for thought, he paid this tribute to the Glenville faculty. “To me, every member of the faculty will always be remembered as a person up to the elbows in work, who smiled cheerfully and assuringly and said, ‘Well, what can I do for you today?’ Helpful and open handed, always trying to understand and solve our problems—our faculty.” At this juncture, we would state that Harvard University is George’s objective, and (confidentially) a scholarship to that college, his worthy expectation and ambition. It is usually the custom for celebrities to give some advice to their less fortunate brothers. “Have you any message for the underclassmen?” was the next question. The “illustrious one” offered these max- Pagc sncnty-cighl REFLECTOR-OLYMPIAD ims: “Think straight, stick to the point, Be nice, even though it huiits—Teachers are human, regardless.” Our parting shot was, “George what is the secret of your success?” “The inspiration of women,” was his rejoinder. With our president’s abundant gift of brains and splendid personality, he is sure to forge ahead. George, here’s to a successful future! Senior Class Elections GIRLS BOYS Class Beauty............

Page eighty-three REFLECTOR-OLYMPIAD The Torch To the average student there does not seem to be a great deal of work connected with The Glenville Torch. It is a grievous mistake to think that. The Torch is essentially a student publication. The faculty adviser, Mr. Frederic D. Aldrich, merely advises. Any student who passes his subjects is eligible for membership on the board. Recruits are given a try-out on request, or on the recommendation of a member of the faculty or a board member. There are two departments, editorial and business. The editorial department is composed of the news, feature, and sport departments, each of which is under a different editor. The business department also has three divisions: finance, circulation, and advertising. Each division of The Torch has a specific task to be performed according to schedule. The editor is responsible for the proper functioning of his departments, and the business manager of his. Under the able editorship of Gordon Berryman, The Torch received the All-American Honor Rating in 1927 from the Central Interscholastic Press Association. The publication is also a member of the Columbia Scholastic Press Association, and the Quill and Scroll. The executives of the paper form a chapter of the Quill and Scroll, The National Honorary Society for High School Journalists. Page eighty-four REFLECTOR-OLYMPIAD Reflector-Olympiad Board A new policy was adopted this year in choosing the members of the Reflector Board. They were selected by the faculty, instead of being elected, as in the past. Another feature of the new plan was to have the Reflector Board take over the publication of the Annual as part of its regular work. This plan saved the trouble of appointing and organizing a new board, and allows affairs to be run much more smoothly than before. The main object of the Reflector Board this year has been to give to the readers of the magazine a product that possessed Ruth Bialosky Editor in Chief all the dignity that becomes a literary magazine. Then too, they have tried to have a more representative showing of the work done at Glenville, by establishing new departments. Besides the usual literary contributions of the English classes, nearly all the departments of the school have been represented during the year. This plan not only gives these departments a little of the publicity which they deserve, but it serves to heighten the general tone of the magazine as expressing the spirit of co-operation which exists between the school and its journals.

Rush. The band’s first appearance was at the school’s flag raising on Armistice Day. It played at the football rallies in the auditorium, and also for the football banquet On the field it displayed a wonderful school spirit, helping the team win their laurels by encouraging, peppy music. The first outside engagement was at East Tech where it played for a community gathering. A successful program was also given for “Instrumental Day” and Open House Night” where the band was enthusiastically received by large audiences. The band is now working industriously on its contest numbers for it hopes to compete with other high school organizations in the Ohio State School Band Contest, to be held in May at Columbus, Ohio. The orchestra proved its merit at a concert given on “Instrumental Day.” It played at the February and June ’28 Commencements and also furnished the music for the Annual Play “Merton of the Movies.” Certain members, selected by Mr. Eugene J. Weigel, supervisor of the Cleveland High School Orchestras were played at the Music Festival held at the Public Auditorium in February. The officers of the band and orchestra are the following: President . ______________ Jack Presser Vice President.. ....... Herbert Lessner Secretary and Treasurer____________ . _______________ Margaret Friedman Property Manager....Thomas Cuthbertson Page eighty-six Dramatic Club The Dramatic Club, under the direction of Miss Ruth H. Klein, presented, as the annual play, “Merton of the Movies,” in the Glenville Auditorium, on March 22 and 23. The members of the cast showed the results of excellent training. Their poise and self confidence were worthy of professionals. The play was a great success in every way. The proceeds were used to purchase a new curtain.

Secretary Gertrude Beyer________Treasurer Officers for Spring Term Gertrude Beyer .......President Florence Fisher......Vice Pres. Ann Ruggie ___________Secretary Eda Hammond.........Treasurer Miss Schrider—Facidty Adviser The Girls’ Sports League consists of a group of girls who aim to promote athletics, health, and a sense of sportsmanship. There are several sports for each season. The “Hockeyists,” with their bruised shins but undaunted spirits, take the center of the stage in Fall. This year the “Filter Beds” afforded the play-ground for them. Though balked by bad weather, the girls so succeeded in learning how to pass and dribble the ball, as well as how to plunge in and get it from an opponent, that later some very exciting and fast games were played. After this, Basketball, most popular of the sports, is ushered in. At the first few practices, the girls are taught the fundamentals of the game. They learn to pass, to guard, and to make baskets. The climax is the championship game with a reward of points towards one’s letter. Volley Ball does not suffer at all by the sorrow that is evinced by everyone at its exit. On the other hand, it places more girls in the gymnasium than any other sport. An elimination tournament was played off this year without any preliminary practice. A team losing its first game was given a chance to play in a consolation tournament. Baseball certainly makes a crash, slam, and bang scene; none of the participants are hurt, however. The girls put their utmost efforts in the game and become able to pitch, catch, and throw a ball like veteran players. Track makes a running entrance and ends the term with a few jumps. Long do the girls practice at the shot put, discus throw, high and broad jumping, and the dashes. Many of them receive no other reward for their faithful efforts than the joy of being able to be out in the open, and the delight of hardened muscles. Swimming is an all year round activity. Advancement comes to all in this sport. Quite a few pass their life-saving test. Hiking also occupies two semesters. In almost all kinds of weather do the girls venture out. This year various types of hikes have been planned to make the walking both more interesting and more educational. An advanced class is conducted after school for all girls especially interested in gymnasium work and in leadership training. This semester the girls are compelled to take a test before being permitted to join it. Most of the members assist in the various classes of Miss Schrider. Health, happiness, and good-will are sufficient rewards to all the aspiring athletes. Yet in addition to these, the club gives as a grand reward, the “Big G.” BASKETBALL For the second consecutive year, a Glen-ville basketball team has had a new coach to guide it upon a strenuous season. This year, Eddie Blickle all-Ohio star, undertook the duties of head-coach and succeeded in steering the quintet upon a successful season. Although Glenville did not rank so high in Senate standings, figures do prevaricate. Looking over the games played, we find Glenville won six and lost five. For a season total, Glenville scored 255 points against 233 for their opponents. With such a record, Glenville may well be proud of her team. Coach Blickle found that it would take much time and practice to teach the boys the difficult “man for man” system after they had played a whole season under a different coach. Once they got going however, the Red and Black quintet pre- Pagc eighty-nine REFLECTOR-OLYMPIAD Page ninety REFLECTOR-OLYMPIAD sented a formidable aggregation. The season’s climax was the curtain-ringer of the season. Glenville downed the strong East team and showed the brand of ball they were really capable of playing. Two of Glenville's outstanding cagers will be lost to the team, due to graduation. They are “Bo” Miller and “Kenny” Morris. Both were excellent basketball players and will be missed from Glenville athletics in the future. The outlook for next season is particularly bright. Coach Blickle has Aaron, Silverstein, Isaacson, Hayfer, Benjamin, Garber, Lazaar, and Pressman from whom to build a team. Next year Glenville should stand high among Senate teams. Much credit goes to Sam Bernstein who served as manager of the team throughout the season. The 1927 Football Season With but a very short time in which to assemble a football team, Coach Colonius found eleven fighting men to face Cathedral Latin in the first gridiron game of the season. This much heralded classic was one of the greatest drawing cards of the season. Latin's city championship team was supposed to run all over the Glenvillites according to pre-game “dope.” However Glenville showed surprising strength and Latin was considered lucky to score on a pass and win the game 6-0. The confidence of the team spurred them on the next Saturday when they traveled to Sandusky to play Sandusky High. The game turned out to be a dull affair which ended in a 0-0 tie. The first Senate game with East was a close 12-6 tussle with Glenville on the long end of the score. A pass, WHALEN to BRICKMAN, netted one touchdown, while another pass, SHULER to DENNIS, counted the other. A high wind which backed up the John Adams punts helped them to score in the first five minutes of play. With a slim 6-0 margin to fight against, the Parkwood Drivers were powerless to break through the Adams defense for consistent gains. In the last quarter WHALEN and DENNIS starred to pull the game out of the fire. After snaring a pass from WHALEN, BRICKMAN raced thirty yards for a touchdown to tie the score. The point after touchdown was missed and the count remained 6-6. After play was resumed, BRICKMAN intercepted a pass and ran through the Adams team for another touchdown and game. The gun went off several seconds later and Glenville emerged victorious by a 12-6 count. The following week, Glenville suffered its first Senate setback at the hands of the strong West High team. West scored twice in the initial period when their powerful running attack took our boys by surprise. Glenville tried hard to score but did not leave the final punch after threatening the West goal. The Tar Blooders outclassed the West Siders in yardage, making eleven first downs to West’s four. However the experienced West backfield took advantage of every break and scored three times on Glenville errors. The final score was 18-0. The next battle with Central was one of the thrillers of the season. For three furious quarters neither team was able to score. In the final moments of the last quarter DENNIS weaved his way through the Central gridders for a touchdown, FRIEDMAN place kicked the extra point. Then began the battle royal. Central desperately tried to advance toward the Red and Black goal line and succeeded in completing two long passes. The Tar Blooders tightened up as the Centrallites neared the line and were ready to kick out of danger as the gun went off. The Glenvillites tucked the ball under their arms and went home with a well-earned 7-0 victory. W’ith Glenville still fighting for Senate honors, a large crowd was provided with another thriller at West Tech field when the Tar Blooders took on the western Carpenters. Although greatly outweighed, the locals played on even terms until the last few minutes of play w'hen the west-siders won by a safety. Tech began the game by returning a punt fifty yards for a touchdowm. Glenville retaliated soon after when BRICKMAN trekked twenty yards for a touchdown wfith a westsider clinging to his pantaloons as he fell over the line. The locals counted another score on a pass, WHALEN to BRICKMAN. This lead did not last long as Tech came back with a touchdowm scored via the aerial route. In the last quarter DUR- Pagc ninety-one REFLECTOR-OLYMPIAD Page ninety-two REFLECTOR-OLYMPIAD HAMMER of Tech sent the pigskin between the goal posts by a beautiful place kick. Glenville was unable to score and Tech scored a safety as the gun went off. When the final count was taken the Park-wooders were on the short end of an 18-14 score. In the Lincoln game the following week the Tar Blooders again won in the final minutes. The Presidents' only tally was made on a Glenville fumble. BRICKMAN scored for Glenville but the locals missed the extra point and the score stood at 7-6 favor Lincoln. In the last 96 seconds of play, HUTCHINSON netted another marker on a pass from BRICKMAN. The final score was 12-7. Armed with snowshoes and slickers the gridders prepared to meet Collinwood in the curtain-ringer of the season. This game was another thriller. SHULER starred after FRIEDMAN was unable to penetrate the heavy defense of the Railroaders. DENK, playing his first regular game, since a broken collarbone kept him on the bench, starred for the Red and Black. Glenville finally shovelled their way through the snow for two markers and won 12-0. BENJAMIN and ISAAC- SON scored for Glenville. This ended the gridiron season of ’27. Summing up the season, Glenville made a remarkable showing as compared with the showing of the preceding year. Out of six Senate games played, Glenville won four games and lost two, for a percentage of 667. Although we cannot deal with each player individually they are all deserving of much credit. Those who received letters for their efforts for Glenville were Captain DAVID AARON, CHARLES LIPPS, ABE DANCHES, ALVIN KOEN-NIG, HERBERT WHITE, KENNETH MORRIS, SIDNEY LANDSKRONER, ADOLPH ISAACSON, ABE MILLER, GEORGE DIEDERICH, SAUL BENJAMIN, WILLIAM DENNIS, JEROME FRIEDMAN, THOMAS WHALEN, LEONARD BRICKMAN, EARL SHULER. CARROL BUXTON, THEODORE HUTCHINSON, WILLIAM KRAPOHL, JOSEPH BURSTIEN, JEROME RAT-NER, HARRY MENDELSOHN, JOE ZIEVE, CARL DENK, MANAGER NORMAN DIEDERICH, and LLOYD YEA-GLE, assistant manager. WRESTLING Wrestling has served a double purpose: it has developed excellent football and track material while serving as a wonderful body builder to those boys who indulge in the sport. Glenville has engaged in five matches and a tournament. Our mat artists hold two victories over University, but have been thrown by the more experienced Cathedral Latin and John Marshall teams. The Captain of the wrestlers is Abe Hershman. He throws them in the 130 lb. division. Other members of the team are: Dunn, Litchfield, Wood, Buxton, Whalen, Dietrich and Shandle. Ratner, star heavyweight, was forced to withdraw because of sickness. Wrestling is a comparatively new sport in this school, this being only its second year as a recognized activity. From this squad of wrestlers, Dietrich, Buxton and Ratner will be back again next year while Hershman is a member of the graduating class. The boys have learned rapidly under the tutelage of Coach Colonius and should finish the remainder of the season in fine fashion. Page ninety-three REFLECTOR-OLYMPIAD Tennis Team For four consecutive seasons Glenville’s “racqueteers” have burned their way through city high school opposition, and have emerged victorious for Senate championships. This year a new tennis league, Greater Cleveland High School .Tennis Association, has been formed with ten schools represented. The members of the winning team get medals. The officers are V. Ganger, East High, President; Bernard Levy, Glenville, Secretary; and T. Sullivan, West High, Treasurer. “Bernie” Levy, captain, is one of Glenville’s most valuable players. He has gained a reputation as being one of Cleveland’s best high school players. “Phil” Hershkovits, a veteran, is one of the mainstays of the team, having won all but two matches. “Jimmy” Reider has been a regular singles man for three seasons. His flashy game has distinguished him as a man hard to down when he gets going. “Morry” Kaplan’s steady playing has been a great asset to the team. He is depended upon as a regular doubles player. Rox Garmon, “Ted” Kearns, and Julius Kravitz, new men this year, are to be the backbone of teams for the next two years. Mortimer Goodman, who succeeded Manager Cohen after mid-year graduation, is ably taking care of his duties. The tennis team, under Coach Har-bourt, is expected to turn out some real players in municipal competition.
