Zllfbe Greeniaille imes VOL. 1 GREENVILLE, OHIO, MAY 1, 1927 No. 1 G. H. S. SWAMPS PIQUA f MR. OTTMAN APPOINTED GREENVILLE HI BASKETBALL HEAD OF ENGLISH TEAM BEATS PIQUA FIVE l DEPARTMENT BY LARGE SCORE The fast Greenville High School basket- ball team added Piqua to its long list of victories, when they defeated the border city team 50 to at the high school gym Friday night. Although Sink and Alexander did not arrive in time for the game and Nicholson was out on a date, the substitutes used in their places played well and the Greenville team showed its usual fast offensive game. The local boys started their scoring early in the game and at no time during the game were they pressed by the opposing team. The team as a whole played a fine game, but Wheeler who replaced Sink at center and Riegel. Aelxancler at forward, were the outstanding playe1's of the game. The Greenville boys have not yet lost a game, and have defeated some very good teams. If they keep up this good showing they have a very good chance to win the state championship this year. NOTICE There will be chapel all day Friday. STUDENTSTMATQE FLEA FOR MORE NOTE-BOOKS The students of the Greenville High School desire more note-book work in their various classes is the report of the prin- cipal. There had been some note-book work done already but according to the students it has not been enough. They say that the note-book work is very fascinating and helps to take the monotony from the dull procedure of the class room. DELBERT HELLER LEADS CLASS IN GRADE STANDING Delbert Heller now has the highest av- erage in the Senior class. Delbert has been near the top all year but with an average of A+ in eight subjects for this month he broke into the lead. He attributes his suc- cess to Horlick's Malted Milk. The grade contest is open to all members of the Senior class. The offer of a six year scholarship in the Hicksville Agri- cultural College at Hicksville, Arizona, as a prize has made the contest very close and interesting throughout the year. Maurice Smith who was in the lead last month is now in second place and Gerald Teegarden who was ahead at the first of the year is in third place. l 1 i l l 1 O. O. Ottman has recently been appoint- ed head of the English department of Greenville High School. Mr. Ottman has taken special work in English in several of the leading universities, and is well fitted for the position. Mr. Ottman advocates a more complete knowledge of the English language in the schools and with the co-operation of the English teachers he should be successful in carrying out his plans. Mr. Ottman had studied several other languages, but he claims that English is the most perfect and most important. MR. ALLEN SAYS That Jack Cornell and Delbert Heller could talk to each other in the hall better if they would carry megaphones. That the locker trouble started off with a bang. That it would be easier for the boys and girls to pass notes if some sort of a postal system were established. That since some of the children are skat- ing, why not get out the high chairs? That he wonders if some of the boys that pull wise cracks about the poor show- ing of Greenville's teams would like to show how good they are next year. That the hall by the 2310 Assembly re- minds him of a nursery. That Robert Riegel and Ronald Wheeler should be put in separate cages. That his classes are bothered by great outbursts of talking and laughter, Prob- ably this is the echo resulting from some of the girls talking between classes. That judging from some of the note- books there must be a lot of great minds running in the same channels. That the fact that Carlton Coppock pre- fers blondes does not necessarily make him a gentleman. HARRY L. GRAY NAMED AS FOOTBALL MENTOR FOR NEXT YEAR Harry L. Gray. member of the faculty of the high school. and graduate of Yale University, has been hired as athletic coach for the season of 15127-28.

POUR DICICS MODERN ALMANAC Never do to-day what you can put off till tomorrow. Never carry anything you can drag. If the old adage There is no rest for the Wicked is true, some of the students are far removed from being angels. The early bird gets the worm-but who wants a worm? Always squander time-God gave us lots of it. A stitch in time saves embarrassment. What is worth doing is usually too much work. Late to bed, early to rise makes a man sleepy no matter his size. A rolling stone in a shoe Causes an awful lot of trouble. A meal in the stomach is worth two on the table. Too many coaches spoil the football team. Smythe an-fl Cornell '27 A Visit to Mr. Mart! as Related by Ronald XVheeler Riegel grinned and I threw ink in his face: my mistake-Martzy was looking. Jim about blew up, told us to trot around after school. VVe did just to show him we weren't scared. As soon as we got there he asked that we assume the angle over two chairs. Riegel said, Look out lVIartzy . Martzy said, A little higher Ronaldf He hit me with a meter stick. I said Wl1at's atm? Martzy laughed and said, I'm not going to do what you thought I was. VVe again assumed a position perpendicular to the horizon. Riegel said, I was just gonna swing one on him. I tossed a whole pen-full of ink in his face and ran. It's a good thing for him that he didn't hit me again. Ronald Wheeler. Per R. M. '27 Page one lzznzdrvd t1i'v11z'y-two

HAROLD BAKER EXPELLED FOR INATTENTION IN CLASS Harold Baker, a Senior in the high school. has been expelled from school on a serious charge. During a discussion in the history class while the students were sup- posed to be taking notes on the discussion Harold was caught writing a note to a young lady friend. He declared he was innocent of the charge and tried to prove that the note was material on the history lesson. After close investigation, however. the student council headed by Miss IVarvel found that the content of the note had little reference to the history lesson. Harold was found guilty of inattention and was expelled from school for an in- definite period of time.
