McGlung as principal, ami h.nl an enrollment of thirty-four pupils. In 1878, a commodious school building was elected, which accommodated the pupils for a few years. In 1880 it had reached the grade entitling it to a position f a high school. The growth of the school was so rapid, along with the increase in the population of the town, and reached such proportions that the building was inade-qt ate to accomodate all of the pupils. The former structure was enlarged-awl this furnished ample room for the members of the school until the present structure was built, in 1908, at a cost of thirty-seven thousand dollars. 'Jh;s setmol building is modern and up-to-date in every respect, and in addition to el.tss rooms, superintendent's office, library, etc., it lias an auditorium with a seating capacity of six Hundred and twenty- a large stage, a very great asset, not only for the school to he proud of, but also the townspeople. In 1888. the High school, under Superintendent A. B. Spaeh, sent forth its first graduate, William 11. Burkholder. The increase has been steady since that time, until this year there are twenty-three graduates. In thirty-eight years it has grown from a third-grade to a first-grade High school- from a few pupils to an enrollment of approximately one hundred ami fifty. The .scholastic standards of the school are high: if is active in a literary way and believes in a well rounded education so does not neglec-at hlet'cs. There are at present six touchers in the High school, a vocational agricultural course having been added to the school two years ago. The High school is a thing of which Leipsie can be proud and in which the (itizens take a great interest. ith greatest pride we uphold the good old Blue and Gold. � N1 illllllllllllllllllllflltlillillllliillllllillHIIIIIllllllllllllllllllllllllllllitlllllltllllltllllllllllllllllllllllllllltilllllllltllllllfllltllllllllllllltilllfllKIlilKtlKiir 7 V A N N V i'i?uisiimjj iUl.U.tlS llOJ.tOJY ' (j.titjl - | IH.Up'.J J.MIKp • • o.jrwi.K; • A.IlUJtl.tl.tj y Hwirn(s. jrf j.ilipjl Ajoutoijd' qr!nii(|AK[S u. |« || i.Miju ! m vp | ft-'M ! •« [ Is,l5| «|c[.� s,1(. .I01IP5J .lOIli.

No doubt we all had a more or less uncomfortable feeling, as all Freshman do, but Mr. Edwards soon made us feel at home. The faculty consisted of Mr. Edwards, Mr. Sheppard, Miss Light, M ss Reynolds and Miss Chorpening. After being duly initiated to our new school, we settled down to acquire knowledge. This was not hard for us, for we were a br.ght bunch—too bright to suit Mr. Sheppard, our agriculture teacher. Ours was a lively class and we were well represented at all the social affairs of the school. In the spring of 1918,, we were sorry to lose Mr. Edwards, who joined the Y. M. C. A. workers “over there”. Mr. Baxter then became our superintendent, and the rest of the term was uneventful for us. We started our Sophomore year with Mr. Baxter as our superintendent and Mr. Steiner as our principal, the other teachers being Miss Bird and Miss’Sebern.. Later on Mr. Brown came to teach us geometry and history About the first thing that happened was a month’s vacation caused by the “flu.” This necessitated our gomg to school on Saturdays for a while to make up the work we had lost. This:term, too, marked the rearrangement of the assembly room for use as a basket ball court. The teacher’s desk was moved from the front to the back of the room, but, of course, nobody took advantage of the fact. Our third term found us considerably reduced in number. We soon became well acquainted with Mr. Amstutz, our new superintendent, Mr. J-hnson, principal and M'ss Wise, Miss Bird and Miss Sebern were already well known to us. Mr. Kern came to instill a knowledge of agriculture into reluctant minds. The Junior class took part in the Freshman reception and the Christmas party, two b:g events of the year. Our class play “Fanchon, The Cricket,” was presented to a full house. The Junior-Senior banquet cost us some hard work but it was a real event. The day which seemed so far away when we were Freshmen—the day when we should be Seniors, came at last and we entered our final year in Leipsic high school with a class of 24. Two of our number, Noel George and Helen Straley, entered from Belmore. Mrs. Amstutz is now our principal and the other teachers are Mrs. Merrdl, Mrs. Foisted (originally Miss Bird and Miss Wise), Mr. Kern and Mr. Vermilya. Throughout our Senior year we have done our best for Leipsic high school and as we look back over our lour years of high school we say with the poet: A N N Y A L Not of joy and not of sorrow Were our days in Leipsic high But we all our minds did harrow And to do our best did try. ...........................................................

II. S., that particular person would probably be informed that it was 1918. Why? Because the autumn of that yeai introduced into Leipsic H.gh the present Junior class. Each succeeding class probably has the same idea of itself, as it is all a matter of opinions. However, we the Juniors, are .iustly proud of our class and feel sure that we have set a record in all departments of school which will not be easily broken. As Freshies, fifty-six in number we entered Leipsic High School in September, 1918. We were a rather shaky and awe stricken bunch for it was very new to us and we did not know what to expect. Sometimes we wandered into the wrong class-room but we would wander out again very much embarrassed. However, as the novelty wore off, and our confidence returned we began to show our ignorance of high school etiquette in all sorts of original ways. During the winter we lost several of our classmates through the “Flu” epidemic, which closed the schools for several weeks. In due time we made our debut at our first high school party, which was given by the Sophomores in honor of the distinguished (?) Freshmen. During the basket ball season of 18 and the following spring we were represented in athletics in. both basketball and base ball. Then when the time for the Oratorical contest drew neai wc contributed the essayist for the Websterian society. This closed the first year’s events for us and a little later we, that is-most of us were promoted to the Sophomore class. After the summer vacation, we again took up our studies and attempted to absorb enough Caesar to pass us on. During this term we were again represented in both athletics and the Oratorical contest, as the basket ball captain and also two other players, and the debater for’ the Websterian society, were chosen from the Sophomores. Also we were well represented in the track meet held in the spring of '20. This event finished the High school a ear of '19-’20. So here we are as Juniors of '21, working and studying with all our might and strength to attain the name of Seniors- in the following year. Ovving to death, failure and quitting, our number has now decreased to about thirty. This year is a busy year for the Juniors as the annual Senior banquet js being arranged for and consequently a great deal of work is on hand. Several parties have been given and finally the Junior play was presented tc furnish enough funds. The play proved to be a success and seemed to please the people. It seems {hnt we are bound to repeat, for the Juniors again will supply the essayest for the Websterians, also we are represented on both basket ball teams. Next year being our last, we expect to do great things and naturally, we must, for we have a “rep” to uphold. We are sure that the present Junior class will always be remembered in the annals of Leipsic High.

Just as good on the defensive as on the offesive. HAROLD WEAVER ’22 (Left Forward) “Bus,” a clever floor man with exceptional ability for dodging guard after dribble. Sure on long shots. ELAH DECK ’21 (Left Guard) “Eli,” a fine guard, always dependable and one who fights with all his might from the first tip-off till the final whistle. Who could say more? DALE FRANKLIN ’22 (Right Guard) “Ham,” a scrappy offensive man who always gives his forward a “sweet little time” in every game. That is, he does whenever his grades permit. SERGE MACDONALD ’22 (Center) “Irish,” a steady pivot man and one who can be depended on to register at least a couple of baskets in every game. A bear on the defense- although inclined to be a little rough at times. A TV N Y A L HERMAN SHAPIRO ’22 (Student Manager) “Slim,” as you probably notice, Herman “fills” his office very competently. Through his efforts many good games were scheduled for the past winter. RICHARD EICHOLTZ ’21 (Guard) “Ike,” a steady guard and one who can “deliver the goods” if called on. He is also a reliable center and can make any man hustle. H. F. KERN (Coach and Faculty Mgr.) “Prof.” RUSSEL ALDER ’22 (Forward) “Russ,” a good shot and an accurate passer. “Russ’s” motto is “take it slow and easy” but he “gets there ” nevertheless. C. D.

Leipsic High has been represented during the past winter by one of the fastest teams in its history. The five, though comparatively light in weight, offset this handicap by speed and passing. While playing rather indifferently at times, the squad as a rule exhibited fine ball. The record this year has been much better than any previous year except ’17, when Parker’ H?;rmon and Hummon were the main-staj’s of the team. Taking all things into consideration we feel certain that the students of Leipsic High have n0 cause to be ashamed of the representation they received during the season just closed. The more important games this year were those with Defiance High, Pandora, Gomer, Paulding and with Leipsic’s old rival Ottawa. Leipsic hi oke even with Ottawa which gives Leipsic three games out of four played during the last two seasons. The last game of the season with the Alumni, did not draw a very good crowd as the Alumni were expected to win by a large score. However, the ciope” was upset, as the Alumni were given the surprise of their life and won only by the narrow margin of one point. Moreover- the Alumni, with Parker, Hummon, F. Hoffman, A. Weaver and George, presented the strongest lineup in its histor}r. miHiiiiiiniimii lllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllilllllllllU A N N Y A L iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiitiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii CHARLOTTE ZAHREND (Captain and Forward) “Toddy” one of the girl, who made the team of ’21 famous.

H. S. has produced for some time, because during the whole season they have remained victorious. Practice makes perfect and it was to hard practice and the excellent coaching of Mrs. Amstutz that the team owes all its honor. The season was opened with an early game with Paulding High school and here we won our first victory, it was here that our two forwards, Capt. Charlotte Zahrends and Cec 1 Hickerson, displayed their skill in splendid icam work and were able to capture a number of baskets. As our center, Helen Preble, was unable to attend the game. Alice Kirkendall Avas substituted and Ave are sure she had the Paulding center beaien from the reports of the game and we expect to see Alice assume the position of center on next year’s team. Following the Paulding game we were to have played Pandora but as there was some misunderstanding, the game was forfeited by Pandora. On Christmas night our team journeyed to Columbus Grove and heru again our girls won their second victory with a score of 13 to 6. December 20th, the girls defeated Gomer H;gh school with a score of 14 to 2. One of the girls’ easiest victory was won on Ncav Year’s Eve, Avhen they again defeated Columbus Grove H gh school with a score 30 to 7. On January 14th, Pandora played us our return game and with our usual lineup, Helen Preble center, Capt. Charlotte Zahrend and Cecil Hickerson forwards, Helen Straley running center and Helen Slavbaugh and Helen Starling guards, we aa ere again winners, 25 to 6. FolloAving the Pandora game the L. H. S. team went to Deshler and of course the girls had a bad time, our referee being insulted by some of the Deshler crowd, but never-the-lcss w e won 7 to 6. On the evening of February 5th, came the game of the season. Both our teams played our old rivals, OttaAva High school. The OttaAva High school team came to Leipsic Avith the idea of taking home an easy victory, but the olu L. H. S. team proved to be too much for them, our girls making the score 24 to 18 in favor of Leipsic. February 11th. the Kalida g'rls ame to Le:psic Avith a good reputation and the honor of not losing a game this year, but our girls broke their record. Using the usual lineup it Avas an easy victory for Leipsic. FolioAving the Kalida game, Leipsic High played OttaAva her return game sind I AAmuld rather not say much about the game staged there. Our girls were finally summoned off the floor as some of the spectators wranted the floor, also wanted t0 play the game. The score stood 16 to 12 in favor of Ottawa, but I am sure Ave 11 agree that our girls played a wonderful game and had Ave had a neutral referee the L. H. S. girls would have taken OttaAva by surprise and carried home the victory. Never-the-less the game was forfeited in our favor. We next played 0ur return game with Paulding an 1 little needs to be said in connection with it as the L. H. S. team showed her old time pep and at the close of the last half the score stood 27-7 in our girls' favor. The last game of the season, March 26th, was played with the Leipsi ■; Alumni Association. The Alumni Association appeared on the floor with th-� following lineup: Eliza Casteel center, Mary E. Edwards running center, Ruth Parker and Opal Alder forwards, and Dorothy Kuntz and Hazel Pfister guards. As these girls are graduates of L. H. S. and had at one time played 0n the tei.m, they had the idea of winning an easy victory but the thought was reversed and the game was closed w ith a score of 21-8 in the L. H. S. team s favor. Although we are going t0 lose four of our star players, (Helen Preble-Helen Straley, Capt. Charlotte Zahrend and Cecil Hickerson), through graduation we hope each and everyone who plays basket ball will put all her ability and determination into the game and make the team of ’22 come up to that of ’21. Then here’s to the team of ’21 They sure were bound to please Because, we know, where ’ere you go You’ll find no more like these.

The team did not get a very good start the first day and showed very little real basket ball spirit. Although the first game was won by a comfortable margin, the team showed no “pep” and was far below form. Leipsic's chances were further dimmed, in fact almost lost altogether, when the second game was dropped to Vaughnsville. This was the last game for Leipsic on Friday and on Saturday the team “came back” strong and proved to be the “dark horse” of the tourney. Some of the stronger fives represented w ere defeated by Leipsic, Mnong them being, Ney, one of; the favorites for the championship, and Rockford. This team1 which won the championship at Spencerville and seoon 1 place at Bluffton, holds a victory over Gomer, the team which won the championship at Defiance. After playing five games on Saturday and winning all of them, Leipsia reached the finals and the game which decided the consolation championship. Owing to the number of games already played, our boys were in a greatly weakened condition and could not “get going” against the fast Archibold five, which was in better condition, because of a smaller number of games piayed. However although Archibold won, it was no cinch as Leipsic led up to the final two minutes of play w hen two long shots saved the day for Archibold by a score of 10-9. Leipsic placed third out of 31 teams represented, played more games than any other team at the tournament and w on as many games as the champions.

A N N Y A L iltllllllllllllllHIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIillllllllllllllllllllllllllillllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllMMIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII Covi ty Sckoo) Fielcl Meet The spring of 1920 was an important one in athletics for Leipsic, as it introduced the first Putnam County Field Meet here. This was largely due to the efforts of Principal Edward R. Johnson and Harry L. Kern, instructor of agriculture. Through their efforts, and the cooperation of the High school pupils, all arrangements were made and notices were circulated throughout the county. Very competant officials were secured in the persons of Physical Director McLaughlin of the Toledo Y. M. C. A. and Coach Godfrey of Wittenburg College. The schools represented in the meet were Ottawa- Pandora, Continental, vaughnsville and Leipsic. Although Leipsic did not have much coaching, ti e boys were determined to do their best and they did. Although not winning first place in many events, Leipsic placed in enough seconds and thirds to make the total' number of points greater than the total of any other of the entries. That does not mean, however, that Leipsic did not win any event, because just as many firsts went to the local squad as to any other school. Although no records were broken in this meet, there was a great deal of ability shown by some of the contestants and the rivalry was keen up to the finish of the final event. The banner, the prize of the winning team, went to Leipsic, while Continental and Ottawa ranked second and third respectively. Total points were 42 1-2, 35 and 32. The three highest point makers were Waterson, Continental; Rouss, Ottawa and Lehman, Pandora. Waterson, with 16 points, re- ived a gold medal; Rouss, with 14 points- received a silver and Lehman, with 13 points, a bronze one. Weaver, Leipsic, with 11 points, was fourth. The boys were not the only ones who took part in this meet. The girls entered in a base ball throwing and running contest. Cecil Hickerson, received the medal for the base ball throwing contest. Our girls were the only team who entered the drill contest and gave “Old Sweet-hearts of Mine.” First Row—Harold Weaver, Dale Hummon, Ralph David, Elah Deck.

With the contest for the silver cup as an incentive the members increase their abilities which will help them when they have graduated from L. H. S. The programs occuring every two weeks are both instructive and inter-taining bcause of the various written and oral productions such as readings, essay, character sketches, biographies, orations, witieisms, high school news and debates, vocal and instrumental music. Although the Freshmen trembled at the mention of the first program, they soon enjoyed the work and have done very well this year. The Seniors each gave an oration before graduation and I believe that Daniel Webster, from whom the society received its name, need not have been ashamed of their productions. The officers of the society were first semester:—Pres., Glay Myers; Sec’y., Annetta Harris; Critic, Helen Young; Second semester:—Pres., Edwin Bohrer; Sec’y-, Kathryn DeVore; Critic, Helen Myers. The Websterians have won the honors seven years out of the twleve and one was tie. The Emersonians have had the cup the last two years but the Websterians can not long remain defeated.

The name was taken from Ralph Waldo Emerson, one of America’s greatest essayists. The motto of the society: “Live, Love and Rule,” means ‘Live to Exist, Love to Cherish and Rule to Control.” The society this year 1920-21 has an enrollment of sixty, and each of these members have helped out very well. Nine well rendered programs were given during the year and they were all very successful. One program w'as held jointly with the Websterians which was better than the average program. The officers for the first half year were as follows:—Pres. Wm. Schomaker; V. Pres., Dale Franklin; See’v., Helen Preble; Critic, Amelia Schey; Treas., Joe Bushong; Chorister, Herman Shapiro; Pianist, Coletta Swaney. The officers for the last half year were as follows:—Pres., Wm. Schomaker ; V. Pres., Joe Bushong; Sec’y., Helen Preble; Critic, Charlotte Zahrend; Chorister, Janet Edwards; Pianist, Pearl Miller. The contestants for the literary contest are as follows:—Charlotte Zahrend, the orator who, was chosen by the faculty; Janet Edwards, the essayist; Wm. Schomaker, the reader and Cecil Huntsman, the debator, were chosen by the society. We. the Emersonians, have held the silver cup the last two years and we hope that we can retain it this year again. The programs during the year were all very successfully given. The society is very well represented by contestants for the oratorical contest, so we are all looking forth to a very successful end. Here’s to the Emersonians! May they Live, Love and Rule!

Boc st r Club The Booster Club of Leipsic high was organized October 1920, at the suggestion of Supterintendent Amstutz, for the purpose of introducing new ideas into the high school. There are ten members in this club, five chosen from the Junior and five from the Senior class. At the first meeting Dorotha Ouikshank was elected president. Plans were then made to have after dinner speeches every Wednesday afternoon, during the conference period. Some of Le psic’s best talent and other talent from out of town appeared ncfore the student body. This club gave a New Year’s party, after the two basket ball teams played the Columbus Grove teams. This party was attended by a large number of high school graduates, and students, and was a success in every way. The publishing of the Annyal of 1921 was another great achievement of the Booster Club. Nothing need be said about it, because the Annyal speaks f r itself. Altho the Booster Club has been organized only a short time, yet, many ♦kings have been accomplished, and through the coming years we hope Leipsic high will keep progressing, and we are sure that the Booster Club will do its part in helping to accomplish this.

H. Sr probably one of the most interesting and useful is the Science club. Altho just organized in the year of 1920, it has produced wonders in the school. The purpose of the club is to discuss any scientific problems of direct interest to us, the discussions taking place at the regular meetings held throughout the school year. Because of the fact that many of the members live in the country and because of vacation during the summer, no called meetings are held. The management of the club is entirely in the hands of the members. We owe the organization of this club to our Science teacher, Mrs. H. Felsted, who acts as our advisor on every occasion but who otherwise leaves everything to the members. The officers of the club are few but powerful, as one of the members was heard to remark. The term of office lasts throughout the school term, the officers for the following year being elected in February previous to their entry in September. The president is in charge of every meeting along with the secretary, who keeps an accurate account of all the meetings of the society, and who reads the minutes of the previous meetings. The secretary makes such reports as arc requested by the president. The Vice President in the absence of the president, performs all duties cf that office. The Treasurer, well, he handles the money, when we have any, for you know we are as “hard up” as most high school societies are. We have no Sargeant-at-Arms for we feel that we really do not need one, since membership in our organization is voluntary and each one feels a personal interest in the programs. An open meeting is held every month and a very interesting and beneficial program is rendered. We plan always- to have some prominent person interested in science to address us and talks are given by the members, followed by a movie upon some interesting line of scientific work. We make this entirely free t0 the public, but we usually take up a collection to defray expenses, altho no one is compelled to give. Our meetings are held in the High School Auditorium, the date being advertised a week before in the Leipsic Free Press. The members take in nearly all the present Chemistry class, along with a number of other persons who have had some science course previous to this year. All teachers having a degree, are welcomed as honorary members upon their application. A N N Y A L « • CkemUtry La(x ratory w ..

We decided to have our practice every Tuesday night, from six to seven. The Glee Club has surely made good progress for what little practice we have had and although we have been given no opportunity to sing in public tnis year, I am sure that in days to come our glee club will be able to compete with any other. Our Prof. Mr. Amstutz had planned organizing the glee club earlier in tin year and he also planned having the glee club furnish a night’s entertainment but was unable to do so owing to too much other work. When another year starts the glee club will still be better organized and when we give an evening’s entertainment, we invite you one and all. •Aaqog Bigamy ‘aajjBg BAanag ‘aao aQ auaaiqBQ—A og papij; •a[3no(jopi Bjozja ‘ sag Bpia'Jj ‘siabq asiojajj suouim g a'jbj ‘saa.Cajc uapjj ‘sijjbjj Bjauuy ‘aapiIV IJBad—A oy puoaag IU31I!BJHX ‘nag ajouaig q usqABiy ttaiag ‘spjBMpg lauBf ‘puaaqBZ aqojjBio ‘zpqsuiy uj ‘sag ajopBxuj ; ‘.laqst buoUim ‘jiBpuayjJig aopy ‘SuipiBjg uajag—mojj JSu g «W) a5IP .'PIP linllllllllllllllllllilll....I............. 1 V A N N V ..................................min............................................ mu........................................................

Mr. Amstutz last week suggested to the two upper classes that they elect ten members to the club, five from each class. The plan was taken up with enthusiasm. The members have been elected and they held their first meeting Wednesday afternoon at the conference period. At this meeting athletics was discussed. Then they began plans for a High school part}’ on New Year’s eve. The members are as follows: Elah Deck, Charlotte Zahrend, William Schomalter, Dorotha Cruikshank, Richard Eicholtz, Herman Shapiro, Harold Weaver, Maxadore Rex, Helen Myers, Ralph David. This club was started with the purpose of boosting our school. If there is anything that will be beneficial to the school the club will be the means of getting it. We think the idea is a good one and look to the Booster Club to “start the ball rolling” along different lines. With this organization of red-blooded young people to think up new ideas, things should not drag in our school. Incidentally, a Booster 'Club would not be altogether out of place among the older citizens of Leipsic. Wanted :—A pair of shoes that have a squeak to them.—Samuel Billings. | Leipsic High school has the honor of having one of her students William MeDougle in the navy. He is at the Great Lakes training school, and he writes that he likes it first rate. Stewart Glancy has also heard the call and has enlisted. He will be sent to Hampton Roads, where he will learn to be a radio-electrician. There has been quite a demand for young men to take up this line of work since the end of the war. but we understand that : the places are now filled. The High School Athletic Association is offering for sale season tickets which will admit one to all the games I played by the first teams on the home I floor. There is a large expense attached to an athletic association which has to be taken care of from the proceeds of the games. We shall appreciate your patronage and your rooting. So come to our games. Clarence Nichols, Fr., is at the Findlay Hospital, having undergone an operation for appendicitis. At the present writing his condition is critical. On Thursday evening, Dec. 23, the fifth and sixth grades will present “The Birds Xmas Carol,” by Kate Douglas Wiggins. This is a favorite Christmas story and everyone should hear it. iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiimiiiiiiiiiiiiiiimiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiim A N N Y A L IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIHIIIIIHIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIItlllllllllllllllllllllllll!llllllllllll'llllllllllll'll� lllllllin� IIIIIIIMIIII lllllllllllllllllll1IIIIIIUIIMill Clippings From the Echo: You Can’t Overwork Your Brain Don’t be afraid of thinking too much. You can’t. “The more the mind does,” said William James, “the more it can do.” A great doctor recently said: “In all my practice as a physician dealing with nervous and mental diseases, I can say without hesitation that I have not met a single case of nervous or mental trouble caused by thinking or overstudy. What produces mental trouble is worry—emotional excitement—lack of interest in one’s work. So don’t be afraid. Think. Study. Plan. Train your mental powers. You cannot overwork the brain as long as you allow it time to recuperate It is worry that destroys the brain —worry and fear and bad feelings and mental idleness.—Marketing. The Human Eyo Most people have two eyes, one on each side of the nose. Sometimes they are used for winking purposes and get their owners into trouble. Eyes furnish excellent hiding places for gnats and small insects. Occasionally eyes are used for seeing. Reports Show Improvement Alas! the report cards were given out to the pupils last week. Are we glad or are we sorry? Judging from the appearance of the faces, most of them must have received better grades than they did on their first report. That’s the idea—If at first you don’t succeed, try try, again. The Big Scandal Last Saturday night a few of our High school boys visited Miller City. What the attraction was, we do not know but we did hear that their favorite sayings were, “I feel like a pig” and “I want to learn to swim.” Athletics The High school basket ball teams both boys and girls, journeyed to I Paulding, on Nov. 25, Thanksgiving day, to play the teams of that city. The Leipsic girls showed their old time pep, and, after a poor start defeated the Paulding team easily, the final score being 20 to 12. The Paulding boys team, however returned the compliment, and defeated Leipsic High in a hard fought game, the outcome of which was very uncertain up to the finl whistle. The score was 13 tolO. The game was very rough and the five man defense of both teams prevented a larger score. After the games the teams were taken to the High school building and were given a real banquet by the Paulding pupils, j The Paulding teams come here March 4, and it is up to Leipsic Hi to show them as good a time as Leipsic received at Paulding, on the basket ball floor as well as otherwise. History Class Has Interesting Recitation History IV had a very interesting session Friday. The subject of the lesson was the Civil War. The class was divided into two parts, one the North, the other the South. Glay Myers was Abraham Lincoln and Elali Deck was Jefferson Davis. The Presidents chose their generals and commanders. This recitation was something out of the ordinary. For example : General Sheman was called for. He was asked what he did in the war and whom he met at the different battles. As the different confederate generals whom he met were named they arose and discussed the battles fought. Supt. Amstutz is in charge of the class and gets a new way of reciting history, making it more interesting.

In the early summer of 1920, a club was organized, having for members eleven boys who had joined the pig raising contest for the Junior class, with H. L. Kern as it’s chief advisor. From the product of this club came the sev;ond pr'ze pig shown at the county fair, in the Junior contest and some other good pigs. Also exhibited at the fair were samples of small grains, potatoes, fruit and corn. First prize on all entries was the reward of this endeavor which of course brought in a little money, later used to a good advantage. Completing last years project work, the members of the Boys’ Agriculure C:ub decided to follow' the same trail this year. A part of the boys in agfi-culture I and II, chose poultry raising and the rest taking care of the sw'ine at heme. Just how wrell this is being done cannot be stated at this time. Most probably though, the raising of poultry and hogs w ill be more profitable now on ccount of the expert care. Each one in the other class has chosen the project of be'ng his father’s secretary. The boys say they have been having success over the many barriers and see bright prospects for the future. Membership in this club was granted to the students of agriculture in the high school, so we held a meeting on December 1st for the purpose of electing officers. The officers elected were: Pres.—Elah Deck; V. Pres.— Kiehard Elcholtz; Sec’y.-Treas.—Wayne Mack. Tht social side of life must also be catered to. Accordingly the fathers and them sons, members of the agriculture club, enjoyed a pretty informal dinner at 6:30 o’clock, on February 24th. Good talks were made by Dr. Fogle, T. H. Row’er, Prof. Amstutz, Urban Otto and a state speaker, Mr. McMillen. It was pronounced a success by everyone and a plea was put in for anothr soon. Assurance has been given that there will still be a vocational agriculture department in L. H. S. next year, so we hope that more boys wdll avail themselves of this splendid opportunity.

Briefly, is it not the place at which or in which efforts will count the most? If you take a business course, they will count most for you in Toledo, i. e., will count more for you than in any other city of its size, and you realize Toledo or the big city is the plaec for great achievements. Small cities or towns have small business. hence no opportunity to use effectively a business training. The Tri-State University has been placing pupils in situations for 37' years in Toledo and in such places as afford the greatest facilities for self-improvement and advancement. Why not take the course where the situations are and with a school which can furnish the second position if a second one is necessary? Attend the Tri-State at Toledo and there’ll be no regrets. C. H.

We hold the same high standards at our hall as the facts will show if you make yourself acquainted with our methods, in ENCOURAGING the best people to patronize our modest pleasure room, and DISCOURAGING the others. If you are looking for rough house or moneyed games don’t come here. That’s my a m in conducting my billiard emporium and smoke house. Hundreds and hundreds of Lcipsic young men visit my place of business. They meet their friends here, they play billiards on my billiard tables, and make it their headquarters generally. As the owner and proprietor of my business T have the belief that it is as thoroughly respectable as any business in Leipsic. We cater to the amusement and the recreation of men of all ages. There is no denying some prejudice exists against the so-called pool halls. Where they have the headquarters of gangsters, and where gambling and bootlegging have been countenanced' the influences have been had. But it has been my policy to conduct my billiard hall similar to an athletic club and I believe I have succeeded. No gambling permitted: swearing is prohibited; our patrons are requested never to spend any money they cannot afford; youths un ler 18 are not permitted to play on the tables without consent of their parents, and we earnestly solicit word from any mother who thinks her son is spending to much time or money at our place. The game of billiards in itself is considered such an attractive pas. time that it is being installed n many churches in the United States, and St. John's Church, 14:16 Independence Avenue, Kansas City- Mo., are two churches that have billiard and pocket billiard tables. Practically every V. M. C. A. in the United States has billiard tables and the young men who play on these tables are charged so much per game, just thes same as we charge. There are tables in the Y. M. C. A.’s in Lima, Toledo, Findlay, Wapakoneta, Van Wert- Fostoria, Napoleon, Columbus, Defiance and many other places in Ohio. Parents should know where their boys go. They should investigate. I invite them to call at my place, to look around and assure themselves the influences are those that make for clean; living and manliness. 1 ask mothers to call me. I also direct their attention to our rule, which we have never violated that all persons called at our place must answer that call. I am proud to say I have many very strong church members vrho play billiards upon my tables regularly. C.
