FOREWORD Following the tradition of many years, the Echo Staff of 1936 has attempted a por- trayal of another episode in the school life ol Kenton High. For you, now and in the years to come, We sincerely hope that the pages of this annual Will hold a fascinating record ot the joy and of the toil of school- days, ot true friendship and ot pleasant associations, and of devotion and service to our school. Q .431 Qi X O M We love to sing of Kenton High Our praises ring unto the sky And we will not forget in flight Our dear old colors red and white We win our victories and our fame We take defeat but never blame And we will fight with all our might For our dear colors red and White For four long years of toil and strife The happiest years of all our life And we will think with memories bright, Of our dear colors, red and White. CHORUS: Then hail, hail, hail to our school so grand, The one for which we truly stand, Then hail, hail, hail to our colors so bright, Our dear old colors, Red and White! CLASS SONG Fare thee well, our Alma Mater, As your portals close at last, In our thoughts you'll always linger A happy memory of the past. Working, striving all together, Bravely we have won our conflicts, But these bonds must now be severed Farewell, Class of thirty-six. CHORUS: Oh, wave aloft our blue and gold, Ring K. H. S. praises, as of old. xx Xi X THE 1936 ECHO -twwnwm Take off those cheaters Where's the crowd? Mr. and Mrs. Capt. and Son Oh! Hello Mr. Metzger, Jr. Mickey McGuire, himself Boy, it's hot!

Although We seldom come into contact with this group of capable, loyal citizens, we fully realize that they are the genii who provide the machinery tor a Well-rounded, modern education in our local schools. We, the students of Kenton High School, are sincerely grateful tor their unselfish, constructive efforts in our behalf, and we always shall strive to become citizens Worthy ot their fine objectives. Do your work well or better than the average. Use your head as well as your hands. Fall back on yourself. Develop your initiative, self-reliance, and personality. Avoid drifting, sloth, and ease. A menial job well done may be the stepping stone to a much better position. Build your life on the solid bed-rock of honesty. The history of all great firms today is the history of an honest trade-mark. Character leaks away through dishonesty like water out of a rusty bucket. Honesty and perpendicular righteousness make a f politician into a statesman. Any other kind of life ls built on sand and, like a bubble, soon bursts. ya, ww Graduates of the class of 1936, you are indeed fortunate to have had the opportunity afforded you during the past four years. Your forefathers have made great sacrifices in order that you might secure twelve years of public schooling. You should pos- sess greater confidence in meeting life's problems, due to your educational foundation. Your high school preparation has been fitting and not finish- ing, so it will be necessary for you to continue to study in order to realize your life's ambitions. Some of you may be fortunate enough to go to college, others will have to become your own teachers at once. Never lose sight of your aims and ideals. These will give you the necessary inspiration to as 245' progress. Superintendent. THE 1936 ECHO THE IEE ECHO OWEN ROBERTS Cincinnati Conservatory New York University, B.

CLASS HISTORY The history of this eminent class of '36 really began on April 28, 1932, with the establishment of the first milestone by which we might be recog- nized as a class. That, of course, was our eighth grade operetta, Oh, Doctorl On May 25, 1932, we received our eighth grade diplomas, which entitled us to four of the happiest years in the life of youth. At this time Superintendent D. B. Clark, who so capably saw us through our first eight years of learning, left to reside in Van Wert, Ohio. His work was taken up by Mr. L. E. McKinley, who has so ably guided us through these past four eventful years. We entered high school September 10, 1932, and our tenderfoot organ- ization was headed by Donald Barrett. We were joined during this year by Marjorie Thompson from Lakeview. Naturally, a freshman class does not enter into extra-curricular activities, but our class did have some outstanding pupils enter the state scholarship tests at Bowling Green. During our sophomore interlude we chose Paul Schlinglof as our presi- dent. This year our class was made bright and cheerful by the presence of jerry Pendry. The climax of the 1933-34 term was the delightful picnic at Avondale. ln our junior year we struck the zenith of our high school existence. Our play, Big Hearted Herbert, was successfully portrayed by our outstanding dramatic geniuses. As a grand conclusion to this happy period under our president, Robert Lintz, we gave a junior-senior prom that far surpassed all attempts of former years. Our elaborate decorations will be remembered long for the artistic ability displayed. The best of friends must part. Thus said Edward Buhrer, Ir., when he left our class at the close of this jolly year. Unto the end thou must work and learn. Our senior year we elected Allan Conkle for our president. We chose for our class colors, blue and gold, our class flower, lily-of-the-valley, our motto, As good as the best and better than the rest. ' Miss Grace Roberts of lronton, a joyful person and a good student, joined us this year. Our Christmas chapel was well received by the student body, and Richard Leoffert made a very fitting Santa Claus. Cyril Baker, Paul Shipp, Bill Cooper, and Clayton Bryant, our outstanding athletes, showed up in fine style this year. Lilies of the Field was presented as a parting gesture by a very capable senior play cast. ln spite of work and fun, 'tis done, 'tis done. Baccalaureate was held May 24 and Commencement, May 26. Now we approach the turn iru life's highway, with an accurate eye, ready to meet what lies beyond with a light heart and a steady mind, going forth with grand memories of our dear old high school, the foundation on which We have builded. Farewell. -ROBERT LINTZ. THE 1936 ECI-IC THE 1936 CHO CLASS PROPHECY It was a gala night at the Metropolitan, and, as I sat in my box waiting for the appearance of those two famous stars, Louise Fridaker and Norman Predmore, in their debut in Wagner's Tannhauser, I began to think of our illustrious class of '36 and to wonder what had become of most of my class- mates. l had kept track of quite a few, and now I decided to see how many I could remember. I had read in the papers previously that Iim, getting tired of being called Mr. Fridakerf' had insisted that Louise either become Mrs. Gibson and take care of their home, or else . . . There was a stir behind me as a group of people came in late. Leading the procession down the aisle was Donald Barrett, a perennial getter-there- late, followed by his wife, the former Lucille Cates and a group of their friends. I recognized Cyril Baker, La Vonne Burris, Elinor Cook, Dale Lay- man, Charles Grunden, Harold Croy, Bob Pink, Dorothy Curtis, and Paul Shipp. . I settled back to enjoy the opera then, and suddenly I saw some of our former Kenton High choristers in the chorus of the opera. Harry Haynes, Opal Holland, Rita Kenney, Donald Marquardt, Lloyd Molk, and Colletta Pfeiffer were a few of these. When somebody tapped me on the shoulder, I turned around to find Marjorie Mahon, who asked me if I had seen that Al Conkle had left on his antarctic expedition. I replied that I'd seen it all in the paper the day before. I remembered that Clayton Bryant, the famous scientist, Vernon Crooks, Rich- ard Sieg, Bill Fundom, Howard Sorgen, and Richard Sherman were our repre- sentatives from the Kenton Institute of Learning. Then Marjorie told me not to tell anyone, but that she and Al had decided on the date the week before and would announce it when he came back. Of course I haven't told! l I I The symphony orchestra was directed by Bob Lintz, and a fine director he made, being ably assisted by Evelyn Foit and her violin, Marjorie Ramge and her trumpet, and Bill Cooper with his trombone. Of course, the rest of the orchestra was important too. The grand rush that ensued when the opera was over was too much for me, so I waited until most of the crowd had gone out before I braved the dangers of that onslaught. Mack Taylor rushed by me, stopping only long enough to tell me he was off to the station to meet the mother-in-law fMrs. Linzl and to wait for Margaret, who, as usual, was the perfect lady, making her way decorously up the aisle. I got into a taxi outside and ordered the driver, whom I later found to be Oscar Lotz, to take me to Knobby's, you know, Gene Taylor's, where they serve the best hamburgers in town. Gene had just hired a new chef, and there, all dressed up in white apron and cap, was Walt Harris. A lot of our old friends frequent this popular spot, and some of them you can find here anytime you want to. I don't know whether it's the new chef or Knobby himself, but Dorotha Derr, Bonnie Dille, Ruth Dodds, Mildred Hatcher, and Louise Wolf seem to spend a great deal of time around the place lately. I had just downed my third hamburger when in came Richard Leoffert with one of his famous parties in tow. Dick had been ballyhooing one of CLASS PROPHECY CONTINUED those get-rich-quick schemes, but he soon became susceptible to his own tricks and ended by selling himself the idea, finally getting so rich that he married into high society. He had brought with him Iames Lucas, the famous aviator, Ioanne Moore, that prominent stage actress, Grace Roberts, the emi- nent expert on women's styles, Mary Ellen Strahm, the famous concert pianist, and lim Biddinger, the world's heavyweight boxer. Iim's two bodyguards, Bob Weber and Earl Weaver, were with him also. Carolyn Chamberlain came in then, bubbling over as usual and ready to talk. She said she had seen Marybelle Born, Martha Bookmeyer, and Mildred Kearse the day before. They are secretaries to Donald Critchfield, attorney-at-law, and his retired partner, Paul Schlinglof. She related that she was in their office when Paul Frederick came in. Paul and Timmy hadn't seen each other since their high school days. Now Paul was in town with Raymond Martin, Iohn Mathews, Iohn Mullady and Iohn Welling, all of whom were attending the National Stock Raisers Convention. Their wives, Ruth Bryant, Maxine Wolber, Viola Weierman, Arline Switzer and Edna Steiner, were sightseeing, while their husbands talked cows, horses and pigs. Carolyn also said that Evelyn Oates was being married the next day. She was having a big church wedding with eight bridesmaids, who were to be Frances Shilling, Avonelle Hartley, Evelyn Elsasser, Leona Iones, Edna Mae Wilcox, Helen Howe, and Vera Hibner. Evelyn had been in nurses' training but she fell in love with one of her patients, and so the hospital will be forced to do without her pleasant smile. But Mildred Bloom, Pauline Caroth- ers, Marguerite Clark, Betty Stamer, and Mary Louise Coons are carrying on in their aprons and caps, so perhaps it isn't such a blow after all. Carolyn was called away by Arthur Burba, Iohn Laws, and William Burgbacher, three tired drug store clerks, who were sitting at a table by themselves and needed cheering up. The crowd was thinning now as it was getting late, and next I noticed far in the back of the room a table full of girls, whom I recognized. They were Mary Young, Evelyn Wolf, Marjorie Piper, Margaret Musgrave, luanita Lintz, and Ruthella Laubis. Mary informed me that they were celebrating that night because of their victories in swimming, tennis, basketball, and hockey in the Women's U. S. Olympics, which was in progress that year. The celebra- tion feast was composed of hamburgers and cokes. I idly wondered how they would be feeling the next morning. Mary asked me if I knew that Elizabeth Haudenschield, Helen Crawford, Marie Hanna, and Ruth Friedel were teaching in Ye Old Kenton High School now, or that Catherine Roby, Helen Thomas, Virginia Walters, and Mary K. Wentz were running a charm school for girls? Walt turned on the radio then, just as Edgar Meadows was finishing his program. Edgar sings and dances. Then came the voice of the announcer telling us that we were to be favored with the first campaign speech by the young lady who was running for senator from Ohio, Miss Ieanne Morris. Ieanne is inaugurating a new type of campaign. She is singing her speeches. Her faithful friend and accompanist, Mabel Lou Dille Cstill unmarriedl, is at the piano. As the low, soft tones of Elect me and I will see that taxes are lowered is coming over the airways, I think I had better tune off and write my column for tomorrow's paper. Your roving columnist, MARIORIE THOMPSON. THE 1936 ECHO THE 1936 ECHO CLASSWILL We, the Class of 1936 of Kenton High School, City of Kenton, County of Hardin, State of Ohio, being physically deformed, mentally deficient, and spiritually unbalanced, do hereby publish our last will and testament, thus revoking and making void all wills made by us heretofore. We devise that our possessions be distributed in the manner allotted by us below. ITEM I To Mr. Ballard we will the right- to keep from blushing lif he is able to do sol at the innocent remarks of our librarian. We direct that the football helmets be moved from the Espy School to the high school building, where the aforementioned head-gears are to be rented to all students at a fair price. The purpose of this venture is to pro- tect innocent bystanders from Mr. Raber's wildly swinging arms as he tries vainly to clear the halls. To Mr. Doughman and Mr. Naragon we will the right to contract frequent colds. The wives of these two gentlemen do a much better job of teaching anyway. To Mr. Metzger and Mr. McKinley we give the privilege of conducting our school in such a manner that all future graduating classes have at least a measure of that charm, dignity, and intelligence that is within the rank of our class. To Mr. Wilson we will our 6x9-inch ice pack, provided that it be used by him to completely arouse himself from slumber before attempting to instill a love of English literature into his first period class. Upon Miss White we bestow a small, parasitic plant, green in color, and producing round, white blossoms near Christmas time. Miss Dorn and Miss McGinnis are the sole heirs to the privilege of con- versing within the precincts of our somber library. ITEM II To the Iuniors, whose senseless antics are forever being brought to the limelight, we bestow the right to cut as many classes as they see fit. Excuses however should be planned discretely: it must be remembered that chorus does not meet the second period, there is no chemistry lab. the fifth, and the name of one's mother should not be signed Peter . To the Sophomores we leave permission to conduct a junior play which will, in some manner, equal Big Hearted Herbert. By granting this permis- sion, it is anticipated that the class of '38 will be able to give a prom without selling those worthless new fad wrist bands. To the Freshmen we leave that feeling of tremendous importance that comes when one is about to embark upon the second year of high school. They are given the exclusive rights to the use of water fountains and waste baskets, as a means of initiation. It goes without saying that these precious privileges will be revoked if abused in any way. We devise that the incoming freshmen spend all their spare time, while in this mecca of learning, to the formation of plans for leap year in 1940. They could probably get a few good pointers on what not to do by consulting some of the out-going senior girls. ITEM III Carolyn Chamberlain doth bequeath her backward manner and quiet ways to the retiring and very, very modest Iaqueline Harding. Louise Eridaker doth hereby confer her love of the finer arts, knitting for example, upon the two sophomore girls, Virginia Sprang and our loway i' CLASS WILL CONTINUED gal, Betty Burnell. We hope that they may find solace during the long winter evenings of the following year in this avocation. jimmy Gibson is desirous of leaving a portion of his excess avoirdupois to anyone feeling the necessity of increasing his dimensoins. Mr. Gibson has one other last request. He wills to Babs Booth his remarkable aptitude in performing on his blades of steel, Walt Harris will donate his beginner's equipment, such as bumpers, pillows, Sloan's liniment, etc., to those who have intentions of entering this rare sport. For the benefit of Charles Littleton and Kent Snyder, a few of the senior girls have arranged weekly beauty appointments. Not only have we pro- vided for shampoo and wave but also manicures and facials. We sincerely hope this convenience is appreciated, for it is with deepest reverence for the perfection of beauty that we have made such a notable offer to the two young gentlemen. Brothers Bryant, Cooper, and Shipp will their athletic prowess to the three' needy and deserving juniors known as Dickie, Georgie, and Iimmie. I. R. Biddinger takes great pleasure in bestowing his reputation as an oil magnate to any member of the junior class who is capable of coaxing Kby hair tonic or otherwise! a trifling amount of down to appear on his upper lip. Paul D. lSqueel-rl Schlinglof doth hereby bequeath his uncanny ability as a cheerleader to that high pressure insurance salesman, Theodore Percival Dom, Ir. - Those luscious auburn eyes of Mabel Lou's go to Ann Koch. Bob Fink bequeaths his aristocratic nose upon Iene Bixler. Bobby Winters is the recipient of Norman Predmore's bass voice. Bonnie Dille leaves her petite size and stenographic inclinations to Louise Wentz. Marjorie Mahon wills her dramatic art and cultured mien to Betty Moore. Cyril Baker, the typing sensation, wills his crown, and whatever other qualities are essential to a good typist, to Louis Conlcle. The latter is to do his utmost to develop the astounding discovery of the former. It seems Baker has uncovered evidence to the effect that writer's cramp is hereditary, and, with this thought in mind, he has established a bureau which makes typing compulsory for all of a marriageable age. The above mentioned doctrine, if strictly adhered to, will eliminate that scourge to humanity fwriter's crampl in five generations. Since Marjorie Thompson and Margaret Linz are one and the same to our local newspaper, they surrender this peculiar faculty to the Lyle twins. Catherine Roby confers upon Evelyn Unger her love for farming. L1 lRuth Dodds gives her poetic' interests to our dashing young Romeo, 'tt eton. Lucile Oates and Don Barrett leave their particular aptitude for petty quarrels and misunderstandings to all future couples of K. H. S. We request that Mrs. Sanbom be appointed the sole executrix of this, our last will and testament. ln witness whereof, we hereunto set our hand and seal this twenty-sixth day of May, A. D. 1936.

THE 1936 ECHO THE 1936 ECHO MEDITATION I love to stroll beside the brook, 1 And listen to its song of how Some lovely shaded mountain nook Gave birth to tiny spring, which now Rejoicing on its way, has grown Into a brook, a larger stream, lust as the seed in spring is sown, And' grows into a glorious dream Of red and green, a budding rose, So modest yet, and still, the theme Of many a maiden's sweet repose. The brooklet hurriedly dashes on And hurls headlong its waters cool lnto the placid river's calm And undulating flashing pool, Where many a weary trav'ler spent By the incessant toiling of the way, Might bless the stream as on he went Refreshed, as if all the buds of May Had suddenly burst, and lo, where there A moment past had been but trees, A perfumed fragrance filled the air And wafted on the gentle breeze Along the majestic river's course To where he flows into the seas. The mighty ocean's billows roar And dash themselves to foam and spray, And the circling, wheeling gulls do soar Outlined against the blue by day. The white-winged bark with sails wide spread, Sailing far away from home, Though, 'lone, yet she may find a bed Against the heaven's star-flecked dome. Time wears on, and yet the scene Is not effaced by time or age, Things are yet as they have been, Before the turning of a page ln the massive manuscript of time. And many generations now Have passed into the world beyond The realm of toil and strife, how Infinite we mortals find the bond That links us to this life on earth, Tho' men be killed by beast or war, Or even by the famine's dearth, Even then will nature more Closely cling to its great span Of life, within its limitless range That outlives ar1y race or man Or beast or creature strange, Which in this world has made its home. For nature is akin to time, Which never deviating, rolls On, until that day sublime, When all material things and souls Shall vanish from the world we know, And seek the higher life, exalted. - -Ed.

Dear George, When you asked me to tell of the activities of the Iunior Class, you have no idea what a job you gave me. I don't know where to start, and once started, can't stop. You really would have been surprised at our good behavior the first few weeks of school, but that was before the novelty of our being upper- classmen had worn off. When we decided that the freshmen were duly impressed, we all agreed that even people of high rank could be human, so we came down to earth again. At the Halloween party in October we won the stunt prize by enacting No, No, a Thousand Times Nol I wish you could have seen Charles Little- ton as the heroine, Bob Winters as the villain, and George Keel as the hero, while Iack Sherman vocalized. The honors, however, were copped by the milk train, at gorgeous creation of a barrel, some wheels, and a whistle, driven by lim Kordenbrock. Early in November we started to work on our play. Then it became our habit to Leave lt to Psmith, until Iohn Roof CPsmith himselfl reneged. Our class was well represented on the football field by lack Sharp, Ray Thompson, Perle Krimblebine, lack Sherman, Edgar Candler, Melvin Croy, Bill Erwin, Elmer Siemon, Harold Chamberlain, and Elmo Basil, while Verner Hayter, Melvin Croy, Robert Reams, Richard Crist, and Charles Schriber did their part on the basketball floor. George Keel, Ioe Prybylski, Dick Hatcher, lim Kordenbrock, and Don Ehlen did outstanding work in both. In lanuary we all acted our ages and played we were kids for a day, when we donned red bows and had school in chapel. Because our class was so outstanding on the gridiron, our boys showed how the game would be played, if women had their say, by presenting sissy football. During the winter we campaigned to strengthen the treasury and, as a result, presented one of the gr-randest proms ever given in the history of Kenton High. This is about all the news. Have I forgotten anything? Oh yes, the officers! They are: president, George Keel, vice president, Iacqueline Hard- ing, secretary-treasurer, Louis Conkle, Student Council representative, Robert Winters.

Music is the oldest cmd noblest form of expression. Birds sang before men talked. Before the birds sang, the wind made music of the green fern forests. The first responses of childhood are rhythmic in character. The first sound the child hears is the sweet voice of its mother, awakening its new little soul with a cradle song or lullaby. The last memories of an old man are the tunes learned in childhood. Music attends the christening of the baby and the solemn tread to the grave. The air is full of music when young people are courting. It leads them to and from the altar of marriage. Martial music marches men courageously to war, and triumphant music returns them, victorious. It awakens the human mind, elevates the spirit, inspires sacrificial service, and lightens arduous toil. It ought to be a part of every important enterprise of life. It expresses as nothing else can, men's highest aspirations, deepest sorrows, patriotic, courage, and love of country and home. For the common things of every day God gave men speech in the common way, For the deeper things men think and feel God gave the poets words to reveal, For the heights and depths no Word could reach God gave men music, the soul's own speech. 'ROUND AND 'ROUND SHE GOES- Attention, everybody! Here's a broadcast to broadcast the returns of a broadcast-do you follow? T On the nights of March 26, 27, and 28 dear old station K. H. S. put its talent to the test and sponsored a real-for-sure amateur hour. Everyone from near and far met at the high school either to lend a willing ear to all that was going on, or to compete for the grand prize of five dollars for the amateur contestant with the most votes. Well, it went over, thanks to the really splendid cooperation of all con- cerned and the inspired leadership of the program chairman, Mabel Lou Dille, the entry chairman, George Keel, and the ticket chairman, Dale Layman. These people were ably assisted by Frances Fundom, chairman of the house committee, Iames Gibson, chief of equipment, Walt Harris, herald chairman, Betty Bonnell, newspaper correspondent, George Wilson, poster chairman, Donald Barrett, program chairman, Ruth Dodds, reception committee, Robert Mallow, banner committee. U Bob Ellis and our own Messrs. Wilson, Raber, and Ballard shared the honors CPD of being Kenton High's own Major Bowes and Graham MCNamee. The wheel of fortune spun 'round and 'round and declared Norman Predmore winner of the grand prize, with little Donna Mae Bailey and Virginia Anderson runners up, and Mr. Lynn Clevidence in third place.

Donald Hatcher and Ferne Amsler voiced our opinions on the Student Council. All's well that ends well, and I think that we have all enjoyed our year of apprenticeship. Life has its ups and downs and, perhaps, it's well for everyone to have the downs sometimes.

STUDENT COUNCIL The goal of the Student Council was again that of earning more money for the athletic fund. At the football games we sold ice cream bars and hot dogs, and the returns from these gave us encouragement for bigger things. We initiated the social season with a Halloween hard-time dance at the armory. It is firmly contended by this Student Council that this was one of the best parties ever given. ln March, the organization sponsored an amateur prograrn. On the evenings of the 26th, 27th, and 28th, contestants and observers from Kenton and vicinity filled the high school auditorium to condemn or condone the efforts put forth on our Amateur Hour. Happily, it was approved, and the whole affair was pronounced a success. The Student Council also supervised chapels and lyceums. Dr. Salo Finkelstein, the world's fastest calculator, amazed us for an hour with his rapid arithmetic. George S. Kendall, who has traveled extensively in Egypt and the oldest parts of the old world, entertained us with an interesting talk and beautiful pictures of ancient civilizations. These were two of our out- standing lyceums. We brought the school year to a close with a high school spring hop, the girls acting as escorts for the evening. The annual May dance for the Student Council members was held at the Spring Grove Golf Club. So, to the tune of Green Fields and Running Brooks, the busy year of the Student Council of K. H. S. was brought to a close. Officers-President, Marjorie Mahon Vice President, Dale Layman Secretary-Treasurer, Robert Lintz Adviser, Mr. Metzger.

Robert Lintz, shadowed by Kent Snyder and Donavin Iennings, manages the finan- cial department successfully by some miracle of mathematics. The typists, loanne Moore, Evelyn Foit, and Virginia Walters, may be heard stenciling the write-ups, while Norverda Predmore stands nearby placing a few additional artistic touches to her cover sketch and Kent Snyder conveys some of the latest news flashes to you in his cartoons. The alumni are gone but not forgotten in the column edited by Betty Bonnell, and minute biographies of the students are presented by Sam Long. Up-to-the-minute achievements in boys' athletics are reviewed by limmy Kotienbrock, while the girls' sporting activities are recorded by Helen Iones. Notes from the band and chorus are modulated in the reports of Betty Gibson and Peggy Ames, and the school calendar is dated by Susy Fink.

Louise 'Wentz portrays the local Parisian modes, and Dorothy Holmes, Betty Beem, and the scooper t?J see the humorous side of life. With the senior, junior, sopho- more, and freshman reports being written by Louise Pridaker, Betty Shawver, Barbara Booth, and Georgia Spurgeon, the edition is complete.

HLY In keeping with the New Deal and all of its alphabetical organizations, what could be a more appropriate combination of letters adapted to the ideals of the Hi-Y than the C. C. Cf? This, however, does not mean the Civilian Conservation Corps, but Courageous, Christian Character. One of the outstanding features of the Hi-Y work was the publicity carn- paign for a Y. M. C. A. in Kenton. Although the club did not accomplish the end it was striving for, the fact that our community is in dire need of such an organization was clearly placed before the minds of the citizens. The meetings offered a wide variety of constructive material such as speakers, discussions, bull sessions, social meetings, and variety programs. Of these one of the most interesting was the splendid talk given by Miss Alice Gerlach on her work with the under-privileged children of Kenton. Among the social events were the Hi-Y-G. R. Hunt, the Hi-Y steak roast, and the annual Hi-Y dance. ln December several of the boys attended the annual older boys' leader- ship conference at Tiffin. At this meeting of all the Hi-Y's in the state, ideas and suggestions were interchanged. The Hi-Y this year owes much of its fine work to the untiring efforts of its adviser, Mr. Naragon. For his work, the club offers him great thanks, we believe no reward is great enough for his devotion.

GIRL RESERVES Our first successful event of the year was the recognition service held in the Presbyterian Church, which increased our membership to ninety-seven, this being the largest group in many years. Immediately following the im- pressive service, tea was served for the girls and their mothers. lust before Thanksgiving vacation the G. R.'s presented their chapel pro- gram. The printed programs announced that the numbers were arranged in the form of a menu with the appetizer, a piano duet, the main course, a talk on Thanksgiving, a poem, and a trumpet duet, the salad, a vocal quartet, the desert, an amusing skit, Two Plum Puddings , and the demi-tasse, the high school song. At Christmas time, with the relief taking care of the food, the Girl Re- serves donated toys, which were distributed in an effort to bring smiles to the sad faces of a few small boys and girls. With the spirit of gaiety which prevails in the holiday season, on the cold, blustry night of December l9, we held a dance under the supervision of the social chairman and her committee at the Elks' Hall with Mack Finch furnishing the rhythm. Since we were in need of understanding and advice from outside the club as well as in school, three associate advisers, Mrs. Kaylor, Mrs. Secoy, and Mrs. Doughman, were elected by a large majority to help us carry the year through successfully with our faithful faculty advisers, Miss Iohnson and Miss Wliite. The annual G. R. spree was held February 20, with all girls taking part in the program with its secrets and fun. With these activities and our very interesting and educational meetings on literature, music, hobbies, vocations, personalities, and charm, the Girl Reserves draw to a close another year and continue to Follow the Gleamf' Officers--President, Louise Fridaker Vice President, Roberta lohnson Secretary, Betty Shawver Treasurer, Bonnie Dille Service Chairman, Marjorie Thompson Program Chairman, Ruth Dodds Social Chairman, Marjorie Mahon. DRAMATIC CLUB The Plays the Thing with the honorary chapter of the Kenton Amateur Theatricals. ln the various activities of the season, talent was displayed remarkably well, under the kind supervision of our adviser and friend, Miss Lucile Doughton. The oration given by Donald Barrett placed first in the annual Prince of Peace Contest. Among the outside activities were the presentation of Fine Gold, directed by Robert Lintz, at the Methodist Church, and programs for the benefit of the Culture, Shakespeare, and Fortnightly clubs. October-The first meeting was the scene for an amateur hour, An interpretation of The Soapy Program, given by Anne Koch, Susie Fink, Margaret Nourse, and Barbara Booth, was the skit chosen to represent the club at the Kenton Theater. November-Soft lights and sweet music set the background for the K. A. T. dance, which was a colorful event of the season in charge of Louise Fridaker. IanuaryMThe members of the K. A. T. were entertained with a puppet show, Cinderella, sponsored and produced by the University Womens Club. February-The program was composed of a play, Smilin' Thru', read by Mary Alice Kruckeberg, accompanied by Mary Lois Burkart on the ma- rimba, and Three's a Crowd, a one-act farce directed by Louise Wentz. March--A comedy presentation, Neighbors, by Zona Gale, was given by Miss Doughton's sophomore English class for the K. A. T. April-The speech class was in charge of a second amateur hour, con- sisting of music, dancing, readings, and a play. Miss Virginia Leland, from Ohio Wesleyan University, gave several selec- tions. During an amateur hour sponsored by a local church, groups consist- ing of members of the K. A. T. placed third and fourth. May-The dramatic club season closed with a second dance at the K. of C.

DEBATE TEAM This year, under the coaching of Mr. Ellwood Dille, an excellent debate team was organized. This being the first debate team in some time, a large number of students tried out. After the eliminations, six members comprised the group. Due to the fact that we did not enter the State Debating League, debates were difficult to schedule, although during the year many interesting frays were held among members of the team. In the Scripps-Howard Newspaper Debate Contest concerning the ques- tion of a one-house legislature, Marjorie Thompson and Iulia Wagner were successful in the local elimination. They entered the district contest in which schools in the surrounding counties took part. The members of the 1935-36 team: Mable Lou Dille, Donald Barrett, Iulia Wagner, Marjorie Thompson, Marjorie Ramge, and Paul D. Schlinglof. LILIES OF THE FIELD Members of the senior play cast presented this delightful comedy-drama before a large, appreciative audience in the high school auditorium on the evening of May 8. Much credit is due Miss Doughton for her capable direc- tion of players and production staff. The summary of action follows: Elizabeth and Catherine are the twin daughters of a country clergyman. Circumstances enforce an amusing competition between them. Their aristo- cratic grandmother promises as a birthday gift to one a generous supply of dress materialg to the other, a month in town. Elizabeth secures the month in town. She hits upon the idea of making herself the fashionable idol of the season. To achieve this she procures early Victorian clothes, and so picturesque and piquant is she that the illustrated papers boom her, and the smart youth of the town are at her feet. Catherine also comes to town-with papa and mama-although only for a few days. She mischievously takes a hand in the game, and, by way of direct contrast to Elizabeth's prim formality and prudish ways, affects the pose of a slangy, athletic girl of the day. Grandma looks on, half bewildered, half amused. Mama is wholly bewil- dered. Ultimately, Elizabeth becomes engaged to a young man she has infatuated, and Catherine also finds a life companion.

G. Wodehouse and lan Hay. Freddie Boshan, portrayed by Charles Littleton, is in love with Phyllis Jackson, enacted by Iacqueline Harding, but her father won't let them marry unless Freddie gets a job or at least shows good faith by putting some money into the Iackson Iam business. Of course, the first choice is out of the question, for the Boshans are aristocrats and never labor. How Freddie manages to raise the money through the assistance of Ronald Eustace Psmith, played by Iohn Roof, general fixer-up, is hilariously unfolded in three acts of fast action and excitement brought about by the endeavors of several crooks to steal the jewels belonging to Freddie's domineering stepmother, Lady Mid- dlewick, who was characterized by Roberta Iohnson.

BAND AND ORCHESTRA Under the very capable direction of Cap Willes, the band and orchestra settled down to a year of hard work, with Mr. Doughman as faculty adviser and Bob Philips as student manager giving excellent assistance. Early this year, Robert Lintz was appointed student director of the band and Marjorie Thompson, his assistant. Charles Littleton officiated admirably as drum major. The high points of the year's activities were occasioned by the band broadcast from station WOSU, Columbus, and the traditional band festival, The orchestra gave numerous successful performances at the junior and senior plays, at banquets, and at a local theater.

F. F. A. The local chapter of the Future Farmers of America, during its two years of existence, owes its undaunted success chiefly to the untiring efforts of Mr. D. B. Robinson, adviser. The purpose of the organization is to promote a study of vocational agriculture, to create more interest in farming occupations, to nurture a love of country life, to provide educational entertainment for rural people, to pro- mote thriftg to afford a medium of cooperative buying and selling, to establish confidence, to promote scholarship, and to develop rural leadership. There are four grades of achievement, each requiring definite accomplishments for advancement: Green Hand, Future Farmer, State Farmer, and American Farmer. One of the outstanding social events of the year was the sponsoring of a parent son, and daughter banquet in conjunction with the F. H. A. The boys also conducted a pest hunt and a community agriculture show. As their representative in the F. F. A. Speaking Contest, the boys selected Robert Mallow, who has placed first in this district for two consecutive years. The organization is proud of its orator. The chapter was pleased to send delegates to the F. F. A. Leadership Conference and a team into the F. F. A. State Parliamentary Law Contest, the latter team being awarded third place. During Farmers Week the F. F. A. was well represented by various members in the state apple and potato judging contests. The organization also had participants in the State F. F. A. Convention and livestock, grain, meat, wool, and milk judging contests, which are annual events at Ohio State University.

F. H. A. The Home Economics Department resumed extra-curricular activity this year by organizing the Future Homemakers Association in which there are seventy-three charter members. Highlights in the activities of the club this year were the Christmas party, at which members exchanged gifts, and a valentine party, where Dan Cupid was the favored guest. Late in February the joint supper for members of the Vocational Agri- culture and Home Economics departments proved a great success. This social event will long be remembered as the setting for the colorful marriage of Miss Aggie Culture to Mr. l-lomer Economics. In the course of the year the F. H. A. girls prepared and served many delightful meals for clubs and organizations in Kenton. In another capacity, members of the group catered to students who wished to eat hot lunches in the building during cold weather. ln the spring, when a young man's fancy turns to thoughts of love but a young lady's whim to clothes, the club sponsored a style show, where each girl modeled the dress, coat, or suit that she had made. As a fitting climax to a year packed with fun and hard work, the club held a picnic in honor of the old officers. During the months of luly and August several meetings will be held with Miss Mueller, who will remain in Kenton this summer, carrying on the work of the Vocational Home Economics Department.

GETTING UP IN THE MORNING It is said that one can become accustomed to anything, even hanging, if the act is repeated often enough. As I grow older, I believe this assertion less and less. I have been getting up every morning, for a little more than fifteen years, and I am not used to it yet. It was quite as hard for me to arise this morning as it was a year ago, or, ten years ago. I have often wondered why it is so difficult for me to get up in the morn- ing. Why should I wish to lie in bed until the last minute? I am no bed- loving sluggard. A bed in itself holds no attractions for me. After I once get up, I ami not anxious to lie down again. I once asked a good friend of mine to solve this problem for me, and he said that the seat of the trouble was in the manner in which I was awakened. He advised me to buy a good alarm clock, and said that if I were awakened suddenly and regularly every day, the habit of wishing to stay in bed late could be easily overcome. I bought the clock and used it, but without success. If I put it close to my bed at night, I would reach out the next morning and cut the alarm off when it rang, and then go peacefully back to sleep. On the other hand, if I put it out of reach, l would lie still in bed and wait patiently for the spring to run down, and then turn quietly over and begin another snooze. After the alarm clock episode, I tried the oldest way known in the world, ,and that is to have someone who gets up early call me. This did not work. because I would wake up and then go back to sleep. One of my father's friends in some way heard of my malady and delivered me a long lecture on the subject. He appealed to my ambition, but my ambition refused to be stirred. In vain, did he call to my mind the early rising habits of Washington, Franklin, and Iefferson. I asked him if it were not true that at least a million and a half other men who had lived during the Colonial period and got up early every morning had in the end died unknown. Then I went from the room. The next time I saw him he told me a story about an early bird catching a worm. I was not so enthusiastic about this narrative as I should have been. I felt too sorry for the worm. If that worm had stayed in bed a little longer, he would not have been caught by the bird. But, the worm didn't have anyone to blame but himself. It makes no difference theikind of weather it is, I always rise late. In the winter the bed is warm, and the room is cold. Why should I change from the warm and comfortable to the cold and uncomfortable? In the summer how cool and comfortable it is in my bed with just a sug- gestion of breeze blowing across my face, while on the outside the sun is shining. I am afraid I shall never quit my habit of late rising. For, after all, is there any advantage in getting up early? A chicken obeys the adage Early to bed, early to rise all his life, and finally his head is cut off and he is made into pie, while the owl stays up all night, sleeps all day, lives to a ripe old age, and never is eaten. Again, are they who rise early happier than I? Do they enjoy life more? If they do, their happiness must be supreme. Betty Gerlach, Sophomore.

The Wildcats were undefeated in football and won a majority of their basketball games. Mr. Haber was graduated from Mt. Union College with the class of '32, and with his graduation Mt. Union lost one of her most stalwart athletes. He played on varsity and track for three years. He was chosen as an all-Ohio end in 1930 and 1931. Before coming to Kenton Coach Raber was assistant coach at the high schools in Orville and Alliance. FOOTBALL SEPTEMBER 13-Wildcats Rout Forest 56 to 0. Friday. in Display of Early Season Power.

LIGHT-WEIGHT FOOTBALL The purpose behind light-weight football activities each year is to train and prepare youthful players for high school careers. During this season the squad, composed of freshman and eighth grade boys, was divided into two teams which played a series of three games. There was no outside competition. Much credit is due Mr. Ballard for his excellent coaching. GQ A. A. The aim of the Girls' Athletic Association is to promote sports and sports- manship. To obtain membership in this organization a girl must have one hundred points, which she obtains through participation in various sports. At the end of the year those having the best point records are awarded numerals and letters. This year the club sponsored a Christmas party, a bake sale, and a number of social events.

BASKETBALL The Kenton High court squad enjoyed a very successful season this year. Considering the fact that only one letterman from last year's team was avail- able and the obvious lack of size of the squad, much praise should be given the team and Coach Haber for the fine record established. During the season Kenton won ten games and lost eight. They scored 500 points to their opponents' 461. Keel, Hatcher, Renfew, and Prybylski were high scorers for the season. Coach Haber will have these four men as a nucleus tor next year's team. ln the district tournament held at Bucyrus the Kenton team defeated Wapak 28 to 23, and in the semi-finals lost to Findlay 39 to 34. Findlay later was nosed out in the state finals. The scores tor the games were: Kenton 215 Alumni 29. Kenton 235 Ada 30. Kenton Kenton Ada 25. Marion 1-lardincr 32. Kenton Kenton Bellelontaine 20. Wapakoneta 16. Kenton Bellefontaine 21. Kenton Defiance 30, Kenton Toledo Waite 20. Kenton Bucyrus 37. Kenton Urbana 15. Kenton Titlin Ir. Order 23 Kenton Bucyrus 27. Kenton Findlay 29.

Only a sophomore, great things are expected of him in the future. GEORGE KEEL, guard. George, playing his second year with the varsity, was high scorer and also played a fine floor game. He was fast and always wide-awake. PAUL SHIPP, guard. Shipper player a good brand of basket- ball at guard. He was a good passer and always fought hard. He was one of the two seniors on the team. CLAYTON BRYANT, forward. Clayt was a steady and consistent player, one always to be relied on. He played a good floor game and steadied the team when the going was tough. RICHARD HATCHER, center. Dick, a junior, held down the center posi- tion in fine style. He was a good shot un- der the basket and the best rebound man on the team. IOE PRYBYLSKI, guard. Ioe played a good game at guard. Besides being a high scoring player, he was per- haps the best defensive man on the team. He has one more year with us.

The purpose of this organization, which has chapters in almost every high school sponsoring varsity athletics, is threefold: to promote the idea of good sportsmanship in athletics to the whole student body, to increase the incentive for every boy in high school to participate in some phase of the vast intra- mural program by presentation of awards for outstanding achievement, to recognize and honor outstanding achievements of boys participating in interf scholastic athletics by awards.

Vernon C.: tStanding in front of a counter of false teethl Mother, that's the kind of teeth I want when I grow up. Mrs. Crooks: Vernon, how many times have I told you not to pick your teeth in public. Howard S.: Tell me truthfully, have you ever found any practical use for what you've learned at school? Norman P.: Surel Only last night I scared a burglar out of the house with the old high school yell. Two Irishmen were working together on the roof of a tall building. All at once Pat lost his balance on the edge of the rooi. In fall- ing over, he grabbed Mike's foot, who in turn, going over the edge, hooked his hammer in the crevice ol the roof. There they dangled in the air. Mike looked down at Pat and shouted, Pat, ii you don't let go of my foot, l'1l hit you with this hammer. Louise F.: You seem worried. What's on your chest? Iimmy G. tHoarsely, but not from emotionl: Can you smell that darned liniment way over there? Bobby P.: I'm not afraid to die. Edna Mae W.: Neither arn I. What kind of car do you drive? Bill F.: Hey waiter-heyl Waiter: All right, sir, but we'll have to send out for it. The students down in manual training call a hammer a hammer until they drop it on their toes. Bob F.: I came to see you about a job. Boss: But I do all the work myself. Bob F.: FineI When can I start? Walt H.: l've never seen such dreamy eyes. Marjorie T.: You've never stayed so late before. Lucile O.: Would you be afraid to hunt grizzly bears with a club? Donald B.: Not if there were enough in the club. TVJENTY-THIRD PSALM lUp to Dahl My girl is my boss. I shall not deny it. She maketh me love her. She leadeth me to the door of the theater. She restoreth my class pin when the novelty is worn off. Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of exams, I stay at her home till the wee small hours. She ieedeth me on popcorn and fudge and expecteth a box of chocolates in return. Surely, my cabs, candy, and flower bills will follow me all the days of my lite, and I shall dwell in the poor house forever. Caroline C.: I don't want a large picture. Ieanne M.: tTaking picture on sunny after- noonl Oh you don't. Well, just keep your mouth shut then. lim B.: tPointing to growth on his upper lip? lsn't that becoming? Don M.: It may be-coming-but I don't see it yet. IOKES Robert L.: When I go to heaven, I'm going to ask Shakespeare if he wrote all of his plays. Kent S.: Maybe he won't be there. Robert L.: Then you ask him. Mabel L.: And how did your father happen to find out you had stolen his car? Dorotha D.: Well, you remember the old bird we ran over on the corner of Columbus and Main streets?-that was my father. Politician: I've brought that last pair of trousers to be re-seated. You know, I've had to sit a lot. Tailor: Yes, and I hope you have brought your bill to be receipted. You know, I've had to stand a 1ot. ' A thrifty, New England man had to send an urgent telegram, and, not wishing to spend more money than necessary, he wrote it like this: Bruises hurt erased afford erected analysis hurt too infections dead. C'l'en words.l The Scotsman who received it immediately decided it was this: Bruce is hurt. He raced a Ford. He wecked it, and Alice is hurt too. ln fact, she's dead. iNineteen words.l Allan Conkle: Why do you call my girl a silent belle? Iohn M.: I kissed her the other night and she never told. Oscar L.: So you don't think brains are better than brown? Raymond M.: No, just look at Ioe Louis. He makes more in one night than a college professor makes in all his life. Richard S.: You look lovelier to me every minute. Do you know what that is a sign oi? Opal H.: Surel You're about to run out of gas. Betty L.: I can't marry Mack, Mother, he's an atheist and doesn't believe there is a hell. Mrs. Linz: Bring him in, and between us we'll convince him he's wrong. All the world's a stage, remarked the street cleaner, and I have to be one of the stage hands. First Man: Why didn't you play pinochle on the ark? Second Man: Because Noah sat on the deck. Greeny: What do they use that red and white bus for? Greener: That's the football coach. Paul S,: lAt Martin'sJ Say, waiter, there's a fly in my ice cream. Waiter: Let him freeze and teach him a les- son. The 1i'l rascal was in the soup last night. Grace R.: CWalking past a farm house and seeing an old colored man about to set fire to a field of broomsagel Don't do that, mister, she cautioned, you'll spoil the looks of that land. Colored man: Why so, ma'm, why so? Grace R.: It will make it look as black as you are. Colored man: Nebber mind that. Ah's gwine to sow oats there on dat land in the spring, and den it will look as green as yo' is. THE 1936 ECHO YOUNG MAN ! Have a goal, and strive to attain it.
