Qi We of this class of nineteen hundred and twenty-nine, having an impression of life and having by vision grasped the gestures of future advancement, dedicate this book to the spirit of progress, be- cause we, being hopeful, wish to both derive its benefits and to help raise man- kind to a higher level of civilization through our future affairs. Each generation has profited by the exploits and misfortunes of the preced- ing one and each in turn has made its contribution, if ang, to progress: so we without expletive intent humbly offer this as our gesture to that spirit. K s f? Qtr . t is X f R J I 1 a I . ig 1 I n f Z P5 Q 1 K t .' 1 d 'C.. ' ...f- I 1,- ..,,i..- Education ana' initiative are the two agencies through which all human pro- gress has been made. Both are essential for leadership, , although an excessive amount of the one may make the other seemingly unnecessary. Wapotleon Bonaparte is the supreme example of initiative, he is a breathing monument to the inertia of a human mind in motion. This granted, he died an outcast from all society. He was not master of himself, for he could not properly use his gain. He was not edu- cated. Homer is the exacting pedant. His songs have been sung throughout the world for perhaos three thousand years. and yet no one knows who or what he was, because he did not have the initi- ative to assert himself. CBoth of these men were great, and yet, what might have been their destinies if they had possessed their lacking requisite? Educa- tion and initiative com- bined make for progress. May we be progressive! f K foreword YVe, the Seniors of Central High School, in departing, express one senti- ment: - K -1, . T ' 2, - u We have used ,every effort to make 1 I ourselves worthy of Central and Central ' S ' worthy of the highest regard in any T n S '5 community. We have caught a glimpse : NN of a deeper meaning in life, a vision of I that spirit that is carrying us toward the g W realization of our dreams. Vision, link- 1 ,X ed with determination, ultimately leads :X to the measure of success, progress. X With this realization in mind, we have ' ' X ' , made our gesture. May our later attain- i ' N ' ments fulfill its suggestion as our high ia' ' Q U ' l school accomplishments mirror it. f I 1 or of --11 . 1.1 . I passed beside the reuerened walls In which of old I wore the gown. -TENNYSON Something beautiful is vanishved, And we sigh for it in vain. 1STODDARD Svrhnnl X XX k Q QR E .

Offenhauer, superintendent of Lima Schools, and to the five K men representing the Board of Education, goes the Honor of maintaining the high standards of education in Lima. Mr. H. W. Leach, principal of Central High School, and Mr. E. S. Poling. principal of the Junior High School, have accomplished much in the Way of leadership. They have set a fine example of good citizenship, and have helped students to assume responsibility in preparation for future undertakings. They have encouraged the students' vision of student government at Central and have been willing to co-operate in any such movement to better the school. Both students and residents of the community offer these men their unlimited esteem. School Board I l ' sixteen V X V N , X MABLE MILROY, B. S. in Ed. Huntsville, Ohio College of Wooster.

As it prepares to take the inevitable step which will close that door forever it rightly hesitates and looks back- ward. Through its memories, some of sadness and some of hap- piness, it at last sees itself as others have always seen it: strug- gling, ever struggling, to solve the secrets and mysteries of life and nature. It sees those to whom it owes one of the greatest of debts, a debt that only appreciation and emulation can repay. Finally it sees' the school which it has called its own for four long years. The school which in that minute space of time has given it something which will shield and protect it on the path- ways of the future that are as yet untrod. And then it confidently faces about, realizes that life is still a magnificent game. Not a game decided by a lucky throw of the dice, but rather a game that brings success only when the memories of the past become the true auxiliary of the hopes of the future. Life has made its gesture. The class of '29 must 'catch the vision and bring to realization those dreams and plans which are a part of everyone. 2NW twenty four I am monarch of all I survey. -COWPER I am a part of all that I have met, Yet all experience is an arch where through Gleams the untraveled world, whose margin fades Forever and forever. -TENNYSON Svvninra in fr-fl I '1 X ' U Class Officers WILLIAM FOWLER ------ - President DAVID EVANS - - - Vice President MARGARET DAVIDSON - - Secretary ELOISE BROWN - - Treasurer k .

Wittenberg . - ! , 1 , X , forty seven -1 The Senior Class ln Retrospect OUR years ago a host of frightened youngsters were ushered into the realm of Senior High School. This group with the guidance of the faculty advisors and through their own efforts was destined-to become a class of which Central may be proud. ' The class of 1929 in the freshman year laid the foundation of its career during the Held meet in which it defeated the mighty Sophomores in a foot ball game with a score of 6 to 5. Those chosen to lead the class in its infancy were: president, Dorothy Mechlingg vice president, Harry Adamsg secretary, Margaret Davidson: treasurer, James Thompson. I The next year found the sheep in the digniiied position of Sopho- mores. On entering this lap of the journey through High School, the class chose for its officers: Donald Faurot, president: Margaret Davidson, vice president, James McKee, secretary: and Eleanor Sherrick. treasurer. During this year the Sophomores took second place in the field meet and placed several boys on the varsity teams. Not only was the class well represented in athletics, but also in the various other activities such as dramatics, music, debating, and journalism. It was in this year that the first Student Council was organized in Central and the Sophomores were represented by David Evans, Donald Faurot, NVilliam Fowler, and Dale Varner. t Last year the class of '29 resumed the course of its journey and as upper- classmen began to really be an active part of Central. The representatives on the Student Council were the same as those of the Sophomore year with the addition of two girls, Margaret Davidson and Eloise Brown. Officers selected were: president, James Thompson: vice presi- dent. David Evans: secretary, George Wood: and treasurer, Dorothy Mechling. As Juniors , the class was not only represented in all the activities, but in scholarship as well. Near the close of this very active year the class made its first dramatic attempt in presenting as its Junior play, The New Poor. The crowning social event of the year was the entertainment in honor of the Seniors. Much appreciation is due to Miss Jones who led us through a most successful year. For the last time the class as a group selected its pilots. William Fowler was chosen president: David Evans, vice president: Margaret Davidson, secre- taryg and Eloise Brown, treasurer. Miss Grace McClurg guided us through our last year. We, as a class, wish to thank her for her part in making our Senior year a success. Under the direction of George Wood, editor of the Annual, and Gibson Dildine, editor of the Weekly, both publications attained a high place in journalism. Due to the untiring efforts of our athletes, we took first honors in the annual field day events. Members of the class of '29 proved themselves able leaders in all the activities and again the class was outstanding in scholarship. A most success- ful year in dramatics was brought to a close by the presenting of the Senior play, Craig's Wife. The closing days of our High School career brought the Senior tea and dinner dance and finally Commencement. It is now that we realize what Commencement really means-not an end, but a beginning of the possible achievements that are to mark our places in later life. To every one of us is now opened a new opportunity for success-life.

As timid Freshmen we wandered into this great building too frightened to realize fully that some day we would be among those lofty and admired upper- classmen. We elected Fred Horn, Janet Sealts, Rhea Rohn and Francis Failor as our first leaders. For the Student Council, Bob Blue and Jack Roadabaugh were chosen. Last, but not least, green and white were selected as our colors. As Freshmen we placed fifth in the annual Field-Meet, but lost the Freshmen-Sophomore football game. It was a poor beginning, but onward we went with determination for the next years. Then we put away our childish things and entered the activities with a Will. The oflicers elected were Eldon Basinger, Henry White, Bob Blue, and Andrew Gruber. For student council Mona Vittur, Alice Hilty, Bob Blue and Dick Black were named. At last we achieved the role of Juniors. Upper-classmen, How gravely we assumed our duties as models for the Freshmen. Our greatest social event was the Junior Hop given for the Seniors while our dramatic success was Vanity. Student Council members were Mona Vittur, Alice Hilty, Florence White, Bob Blue, Dick Black, Bob Cass. 4Among our number taking part in dramatic productions were Maxine Marvin, Rebecca Jane Taylor, Alice Hilty, Jean Welty, Jeanette Mason, Margaret Barr, Florence White, Jane Mathews, Miriam Morton , Ethel Jane fifty 'f A .l Silverman, Jack Gushman, John Crawford, George Nicol, Lee Etzkorn, and Charles Copeland. Scholarship records have been made by James Blackburn. Jack Gushman. Florence White, Mona Vittur, Kenneth Hutchinson, Althea de Kalb, Calvin Koch, Alice Hilty, Alice Leidner, Helen Adkins, In the Girls' Athletic Association, Jane Zimmerman. Betty Zimmerman, Harriet Hedger, Edna Loescher, Rhea Rohn, Hildegarde Thompson and Ruth Schewartslcoff are prominent. Bob Blue and Margaret Roush are cheer-leaders. Bob has been head cheerleader for two years. Great credit is due to Miss Reed, Miss King and Miss Jones who have helped us over our difficulties as supervisors. Cnly one year remains in which we shall complete our history and leave Central but just the memory of our Alma Mater has given us the vision which must lead the members of the class of' 30 to success. f.

In the fall of 1927 a mob of frightened youngsters entered the portals of Central High. They stood in fear and awe of their superiors and all through the year bore the ridicule of upper classmen. Often they were rudely ushered off the front steps by some Sophomore, loyal to the traditions of Central High. As Freshmen they elected oflicers as follows: Eugene Broxon, presidentg Barbara Siferd, vice president: Margaret Grouver, secretary: Eleanor Wise, treasurer. For Student Council members they chose Richard Taylor and Emerson Beery. Although not developing any outstanding athletic leaders they entered eagerly into all types of sports and, by their tireless energy, promised to do their share in building time teams in future years. Several members of the class won coveted places in the dramatic clubs. As Sophomores they entered the building with more poise and dignity and again entered enthusiastically into all activtities. Their curriculum this year was similiar to that of the Freshmen and included English, Caesar, Biology, History and Geometry. This year they placed second in the annual Field Meet and won the Flag Rush from the Freshmen. Several members have already made enviable records for themselves in scholarship, having been placed on the Honor Roll almost every time. They are Margaret Grouver, William Haneke, Laurence Larsen, Zoe Emily Schnabel, Barbara Siferd, Jo Smith, Mary Louise Steiner, Marguerite Stevens, Betty Tolford, and Margaret Webb. The class promises to do as well in the following years and we trust that when it has reached that glorious goal, graduation, and has passed from the fc EM S' - X - fifty four ,a' doors of its beloved Alma Mater for the last time the students of Central High will long remember the remarkable class of 1931, but for us who pass let us bear in mind that- ' One ship drives east, another drives west With the selfsame wind that blows: 'Tis the set of the sail and not the gale That determines which way it goes. Like the Wind of the sea are the ways of fate As onward we go through life, 'Tis the set of the soul that determines the goal And notthe storm or the strife. ' Z. 6. S. Eg if m W W Xllgdfy , l E. .

The Class of '32 entered all activities with a will upon their entrance into Senior High. Many students entered the field of athletics. Intramural and interclass tournaments stimulated rivalry among both boys and girls groups. Much good .material was presented by this class for future teams in our major sports. , it Although the Freshmen were unable to score many points against the upperclassmen in the Field Day exercises, they displayed excellent sportsmanship. Music and dramatics received their share of interest as shown by the VZ 55520 rf Alfg A X fifzy eight Y large number of Freshmen taking part in dramatic club productions and musical acitvities. Interest was also shown in debate and in the publication of the Weekly Mirror. The class holds a good scholastic record' and its co-operation with the rules of the school is to be commended. Miss Reed. the class supervisor, deserves much credit for her efforts put forth in behalf of the class. m. v. : 'fw - ' A fifty nine 1 4 1, , 1 p Thus .at the flaming forge of life Our fortune must be wrought. -LONGFELLOW Jnninr High Eighfh Grade- sixly Iwo ee f, Ax .

As an annual event it serves to arouse a great deal of discussion on the front steps. This year's contest was, in a way, one of the most successful the Mirror has ever had. It succeeded in stirring up a storm of discussion, pro and contra, certain factions even taking it seriously. Candidates for the various positions were nominated by petitions bearing exactly twenty-Seven names. When a sufficient number of candidates were collected ballots were printed in the Mirror. This year was the first year that this system had ever been tried and it was in general unsuccessful. However, it worked better than the old method whereby the faction who could write the most ballots before getting writers' cramp won the election.

In 1925 it received second place in the national contest, which was recognized as quite an accomplishment. Due to nnancial obligations and lack of interest the rating dropped the following year from its high pinnacle to a more medium rating. This year the staff of the publication does not know, nor has it means of knowing how this book will rank among others of its class, all that can be said is, that the book is different: whether different in an agreeable way or otherwise, it remains only to public opinions and predjuces to decide. The organization of material and the execution of all the work has been in a somewhat different manner than beforehand. In former years the editor has assured almost all the work in publishing the annual, and although the Work has been of fine quality, the book has failed to come out on time. We feel that the last obstacle must be overcome, even if the first must suffer in a small degree to permit its execution. Some may not agree with this, but in accordance with the' consensus of opinion we must remain in adherence to our accepted policy. By this we do not apologize for the book, merely describe it, for it would not have been published if the staff saw it unworthy of the school it represented, -The Editor. sixty nine Y lv vii - The Weekly Mirror W.

Following the precedent set by last year's paper. twenty- five issues were published. Thus, the publication was fairly regular and could have been more so but for lack of linancial resources. The Weekly has been forced to rely wholly for subsistence upon proceeds gleaned from the adver- tising carried by the paper, as the Central student body has contributed very little in the way of support. The generosity- of the merchants and business men of Lima has, of itself, been responsible for the very existence of the newspaper. Owing to the low subscription rate, the comparatively small number of sub- scribers, and the high cost of printing. it has been necessary to fill the paper with advertising beyond all proportion. ln spite of this diflicul-ty, it has been able to maintain a high literary and editorial standard among high school publications and has stood well to the fore in the field of five-column weeklies. The size of the ordinary issue is four pages, but several six page papers, made possible by an increase in advertising, have been published. Two eight page papers were issued, the Thanksgiving and Commencement edi-tions, and these numbers represented the acme, the highest effort of which the Weekly was capable. Another feature edition was the Hot Number, a new idea which was received with favor. Two regular columns were a pooular feature of the Weekly this year, the Who's Who column. containing short biographical sketches of prominent members of the Senior class. and Hemoleworth Hooey's Colyum, a pithy review of Central life with digressions ad lib. Only one number of the Mirror was issued which did not contain a photographic illustration of some sort, a record never before equalled in the history of the paper. The bulk of the credit for the success of the publication is due to the' staffheads to whom fell the great work of planning, editing, organizing. and directing the compilation of the paper as well as a large amount of the routine Work. Gibson Dildine. editor-in-chief, Robert Foltz, business manager, and John Wittenbrook. advertising manager, are to be commended for their tireless efforts in working for the success of the Weekly. The public little realizes or appreciates the huge amount of labor and sacrifice entailed upon the executives of a scholastic publication. Other branches of the school's activity receive their due credit because they appeal to the enthusiasm, but the silent journalist toils unheralded. -THE EDITOR seventy one Y Y 1Q7Y iv Y Quill and Scroll r AST year a chapter of the Quill and Scroll, national honor society of high school journalism, was established at Central. The purpose of the organization is to encourage higher standards in high school journalism. Members of the society must have done noticeable work on the business or editorial staff of a school publication. They must have earned two thousand points and must be in the upper third of their class. The candidates must be approved by the faculty advisors of their publications and their work must be sanctioned by the national committee of the Quill and Scroll society. The charter members of the organization are: William Bannister, Grace Karr, Howard Everett, Ruth Bessire, Henry Hilty, Goldie Kenegsberg, Raymond Kurtz and John Thomas. h Gibson Dildine, John Wittenbrook, and William Fowler became members at the initiation conducted by Mr. Heffner and Miss Leete on April third. Members of the annual and weekly staffs witnessed the ceremonies. Central is especially fortunate in having in the Senior class the winner of the national feature story contest sponsored by the Quill and Scroll society. Gibson Dildine, editor-in-chief of the Weekly Mirror, was the recipient of this honor. ' W i lk seventy two I , ,J ' A s Y G ths and Glut Your Ire! -LORD BYRON Athlvtirn -JF f 2 4 ., ' L p .

The head football and track coach this year was Mr. W. E. Umbreit. His ability as a coach has proved of inestimable worth in making Central's teams objects worthy of pride both for their achievements in winning games and their sportsmanship while his personality has inspired the members of the teams to greater efforts and the general student body with a desire to support the school sports willingly. y Mr. H. W. Scheuerman, our loquocious but eiiicacious basketball coach, deserves Commendation for his work with the team this year. With but a few experienced men with which to start, he built a team, noted for its grit and determination. His monumental work in coaching this year's team needs no furthervcomment. 'Mr..Scheuerman is also coach of tennis. Mr. Jack Stewart was baseball coach and assistant football coach. It was his duty to coach part of next year's football team. This in itself is a tre- mendous job but add to it the coaching of a baseball team with an emiable record and one will see that Mr. Stewart has marked ability. He is admired for his sunny disposition as for his coaching ability. - l 'TY A Y V iff fffgkm f seventy four Y ,, -f Managers A HOSE who have had even a very little to do with any kind of athletic organization know that equipment must be cared and accounted for. The managers of the respective teams are responsible for this work in our school. This year Robert Heppler and Louis Cook were managers of the football team assisted by Jack Koch and Ray Mikesell. Edward Allison, Carl Daubler and Russell Harruff had charge of basketball equipment, of track, and of base- ball. They have all worked willingly and indefatigable for the teams and have given meritorius services which the teams and the coaches appreciate to the fullest extent. Cheer Leaders EXT to actively participating in school sports, cheer-leading has been the most honored and respected extra-curricular activity in Central since the increase in scope of athletics. No exception this year, the positions were filled by Robert Blue as Yell Master with Max Eysenbach and Norman McConkey assisting, and Barbara Siferd, Ciirls' Head Cheer Leader , with Margaret Roush and Katherine Tuttle doing the work. They did much to add to the natural obedience of all the games but were exceptionally diligent in planning for the annual South football game and Central's Iirst annual Home-Coming. The reception of the Proviso team and its galoxy of followers was in their charge while at the South game they put on a bully stunt with a cow which refused to be bossed. ' 1 seventy five M- ' C Association N 1922 the C Association was organized by Mr. R. J. Theibert. Its purpose was to promote friendly co-operation among the school's athletes. This organization consists of those students who have earned their letter in any of the major sports. It is Central's most honorary society in that the possession of a C represents a great amount of service and sacriiice for the school. During the past school year the club oliicers, Harold Reeves, president: Elroy Geiger, vice president: and James Mikesell, secretary-treasurer and Mr. E. A. Hauenstein, supervisor of the association, together with the other members have done much to add to the prestige of the organization and in furthering its purpose. seventy six 1 There had the Persianls thousands stood, j'Fi?

Although this was a beginning of the season game, it was well played and gave an index as to the prospects of the team for the remainder of the season. Although Bluffton managed to keep the ball in Central territory a good part of the game, it was possible with every degree of fairness to say that Central won a decisive victory. The second game of the season was played and lost to Middletown. Our opponents, by clever use of a 'running attack, defeated us by a score of 35 to 6. Central's team, however, showed strength and accuracy in passing which should have procured a score more favorable to us. Playing hard but to no avail, Central's ever loyal football team lost a game, featured by hard fighting and frustrated determination, to Hamilton. The score was 26 to 7. One of the worst defeats of the season was suffered at the hands of Toledo Waite. The final score stood 66 to 0. Although we do not like alibis, it must be said that considering the large discrepancy in the weights of the two teams, Central made a creditable showing and received a toughening, the results of which were seen in the following game. After extensive rejuvenation, Central's warriors came back to subdue the fast Defiance team by a score of 27 to 6. The game was made very interesting by the work of all the team in general and specifically by that of Renner and Varner. Battling their way to a 12-O victory over Ada in weather more fit for indoor sports, Central's gridiron heroes heroically accounted for themselves. Ada showed more strength than was expected and put up a stiff resistance which proved futile against their formidable and more experienced opponents. On November ll, Central observed its first Home-coming Day. Many former Centralities came to Lima for the occasion and a great many more students made their appearance with pennants and other decorations in honor of the day. Proviso High School of Maywood, Illinois, whose football coach is Mr. R. J. Theibert, former coach at Central, came to Lima en masse to see their team defeat Central in a close and interesting game by a score of 13 to 2. The last game of the regular football season was played at Findlay. Throughout the game neither team had a great advantage over the other and there was much room for conjecture as to the outcome of the game until the final shot when it was found that Findlay was victorious and that the score was 20 to 14 in their favor.

A LVA BOWMAN Bowman, play- ing guard. was a menace to any op- ponent's play. He charged low and hard and usually got results. CHARLES CLARKE Gold - brick Clarke proved to be a real half.

Pl-IILLIP HAWKE Hawke did his bit anytime a good guard was needed. l-le was a low, hard charger.

ELMER LYLE Lyle alternated at half and end and played a commend- able game at both. especially at end. MARION RENNER Our doughty. little fullback, Ren- ner. was a hard man to stop. His charges at the line were always good for a substantial gain. wfxfwwwa eighty one r 1 l Central-South Football Game N Thanksgiving day, November 29, 1928, the football teams of Central and South High Schools met on the gridiron to decide the football supremacy of the city'of Lima, Ohio. In a colorful, spectacular, and exciting game Central defeated South by a score of 12 to 6. The spectators began to arrive asvearly as 8:30 o'clock the morning of the game and continued to arrive until ten o'clock when the starting shot was fired. During the two hours that followed a tremendous struggle ensued. Some- times it seemed Central had the advantage and at others the outlook was bright for our opponents. During the first quarter Varner, with the co-operation of his team mates, took the ball over for the HISKASCOIE of the game. At this tumultuous cheers arose from the stands on the north side of the field which were quieted only by the following play. This exciting quarter ended with the ball in South's possession. The second period was as exciting as the lirst in many ways, although neither team scored. South, by a series of fake plays, worked the ball to within scoring distance of the goal. only to be stopped by a determined Central team. Now was the chance to nip in the bud South's hopes for victory, but fate, always ready to change sides, intervened, Our punt was blocked. Fate, still furthering her purpose, prevented South's scoring by downing the ball on the two yard line. At this point Central's warriors did the improbable and held for downs. The suspense abated for the remainder of the quarter, the half ending with Central working the ball nearer and nearer the South goal. Breaks, which played a large part throughout the third quarter, appeared early in the period when a fumble delivered the ball into the hands of our opponents. They could do nothing with it. After four downs Central again gained the upper hand which proved to be its, downfall for the quarter. The ball was punted and received by McNamara of South who eluded the entire Central team and stopped not until he had made a touchdown for his team, Pandemon- ium ensued. The remainder of the quarter was rather devoid of thrills. Fate again took charge of the game in the fourth quarter. She seemed determined to help Central win. After an attempted field goal was downed on South's one yard line, our team, determined not to lose this opportunity for scoring, broke through the South line to block the inevitable punt. Schlott was good enough to claim possession of the ball for Central and thus of the deciding score for Central. The quarter ended soon after this dramatic climax. On the Whole all the spectators agreed that they had never seen a more exciting or interesting game and none in Which was displayed a better quality of sportsmanship.

K ' 5 eighty four ' T of ' Basketball Season 19284929 OTARIES of basketball at Central believe and repeatedly state that the most successful year of basketball in Central has just been closed, so we feel justified in stating that as our opinion. Games with teams coming from small cities are called pre-season games as they are usually played before the season is officially opened. Teams classed as such this year were: Lafayette, Dola and Gomer. In each case the opponents were summarily dealt with as indicated by the scores: Lafayette 8, Central 36: Dola 14, Central 25: Gomer 14, Central 30. The first out-of-town game was played in Marion where no very brilliant gestures were made by any member of our team. The score was 31 to 18 in favor of the formidable Marion Harding team. The next appearance of the team was in the succeeding evening when Bowling Green gave us a jolt, similar to that dealt to us by Marion, except that their game was greatly improved. The close of the game showed Central defeated by a score of 21 to 18. Reprehended by two overwhelming frustrations, the team retaliated by seizing a victory from Findlay by a score of 21 to 27, and then by crushing Toledo Waite with a score of 24 to 18. They next enjoyed a trip of three days through southern Ohio. During this time two games were played, one with Portsmouth, in which they were unfortunately defeated in a score of 24 to 17, but won over Chilicothe in a fast game by a score of 28 to 25. A decisive triumph over Lima South was the result of the next game. It was featured by slow playing on the part of both teams. The score was 18 to 9. With a strong determination to win, the team next met Dayton Roosevelt, but was repulsed however, not without a struggle. The final score was 26 to 24. Undaunted by defeat, the succeeding week they defeated Piqua by a score of 37 to 16. The following week Ada felt the pressure of revenge when Central defeated them with a score of 33 to 25. The season was brought to a fitting termination with the subjugation of ,437 I eighty five X 7 South for the second time. This game was much better played by both teams than the previous one and gave a more perfect index to the relative strengths of the respective teams. Th score was 31 to 22. ' Post-season games at Central regularly elicit a great amount of interest. There were two such games this year, the Bowling Green tournament and the faculty-varsity game. We were defeated by St. Rose of this city in the first eliminations of the Bowling Green tournament by a score jof 21 to 17. The faculty-varsity contest resulted in a victory for the faculty, when, after a struggle they iinally succeeded in downing the varsity by a score ,of 34 to 30.

Umbreit and his athletes. The team was of very much the same type and calibre as that of the previous season. The squad turned in good scores in the dual meets but fell down in the larger meets because of lack of outstanding stars. It was a team notable not for individual achievements but for the co-ordinated efforts of all. ln the first meet of the year our team journeyed to Bryan and lost a close, interesting meet. Both teams were hampered considerably by cold and wind. The week following, our men found the opposition at the Columbus Relays a little too stiff and were unable to garner any scores. In the South meet, Central downed her rivals by a score of 6416 to 572. Much credit goes to Bob Jones who scored twenty-one points. Central managed to count five points at the Defiance Tri-State Meet, May 5, by Jones placing second in the high jump and Black third in the high hurdles. In both the Quadrangular Meet in Lima and the District Meet at Ada we managed to finish a very close second to South in the former and to Mansfield in the latter. Then in the State Meet at Columbus, Central was able to garner but one point, that by Varner's fifth in the shot put event. This is not dis- couraging because Central was among real competition as two World Scholastic marks were set. Those athletes who earned the coveted C by scoring fifteen points or more throughout the year were: Weaver, Black, Jones, Boyles, Varner, Sanders. Brown, Geiger, Hammon and Gaugh. ' eighty eight Baseball 1928 HE year 1928 turned out to be the most successful baseball season at Centra-l to date. lt was not only an outstanding year, but it also firmly set baseball as a varsity sport. Our excellent team successfully battled its way through a hard schedule and the District Meet at Defiance, but on enter- ing the state finals at Columbus lost their lirst and only game of the season to Shadyside in the first game of the tournament. Undoubtedly too much credit for our team's success cannot be given to Coach Jack Stewart and Captain Wrigley. Coach Stewart worked faithfully with his men every night at the College diamond, putting into effect a sound system of play, while Captain Wrigley, our star pitcher, at one time during the season pitched thirty-three consecutive scoreless innings, amounting to a little over four games. In no game did he allow the opposition more than six hits and his year's batting average was 0.659. I However, let it not be gathered from the preceding paragraph that a one man team was produced, for such was not the case. Every other member of the team filled his position in the best of style and for but one or two exceptions all batted well over the 300 percent average. The infield did some nice playing as didlthe outneld, handling the ball better than any high school team which they played. Following is a list of the players whose services merited them a letter: NVrigley, Roberts, Lyle, McKee, Leist, Nice, Koch, Black, Rise. Numeral men were Faurot, Zuber, Fowler and Hutchinson. Of these Wrigley, Black and Roberts will be the only ones to graduate and a very successful team is expected for this spring. K C eighty nine Y Tennis 1928 , HE second year of tennis as a varsity sport at Central was not such a great success from the standpoint of matches won and lost, however it was clearly a success in view of the fact that impressive scores were made against teams of considerable repute, also interest in the sport developed to a greater extent than heretofore. In spite of the inclement weather, Coach H . W. Scheuerman and the racqueteers put forth their highest efforts. The members of the squad worked out their stroking and technique on the excellent Lost Creek courts. Coach Scheuerman who himself, plays the game remarkably well, bent his energies throughout the year in helping his proteges master the finer points of the game. Four matches, two with Bluffton and two with Bowling Green, together with the State Tournament at Columbus constituted the scheduled play of the season. Cf course more matches would have been played if the weather had permitted. Players taking part in the matches with Bowling Green and Bluffton were Thomas, Wood, Meily, Mathews, Umbaugh and Williams. Those who went to Columbus for the singles and doubles tournaments were Thomas, Wood and Zuber. p7 r 2 My rf ninety femina facti '-VERGIL Girlz' Athlriim -Y ' A . G. A. A. HE Girls' Athletic Association came into existence in the fall of 1925 through the efforts of Mrs. White, girls' physical director. The purpose of the organization was to promote interest in girls' athletics and to encourage more girls to participate in games for fun rather than for honor. Although only one year of physical education is required for graduation, the association aims to keep the majority of girls interested in the various sports throughout their high school careers. ' Intramural and interclass tournaments made up the basketball season. Any girls were permitted to play in the intramural contests While the class teams were chosen-by tryouts. The Senior class won the interclass tournament in a game against the Juniors. This game was played preliminary to the Faculty- Varsity game. Each class team was permitted to choose its coach. The Senior coach was Mr. Scheuerman, Mr. Umbreit coached the Juniors, Miss Buchanan, the Sophomores, and Mr. Steward, the Freshmen. Volleyball was well represented in the fall of the year while baseball interested many girls at the close of the basketball season. The minor sports, track and hiking, also received their share of interest. The G. A. A. presents numerals and letters each year as rewards of good sportsmanship and a keen interest in athletics. Five hundred points in the association point system entitles one to a numeral While one thousand points gives one a letter. The point system is as follows: Intramural Games-10 points per game. Class Games-100 points for playing majority of games. Hiking-1 point per mile. Tennis-100 points for entering tournament. Track-Graded on basis of 100 points in regard to ability and good sports manship. eE ?f llgfglmf B ninety two I, ' 41 , ' OFFICERS LOUISE SMITH - - - - 1 l - President BETTY RUPERT - Vice President BONNIE ZERBE - - Secretary HARRIETQHEDGER - - .Treasurer DEPARTMENT HEADS Jo SMITH -------- Volley Ball JANE ZIMMERMAN - - Basketball AUDREY BESSIRE - - Baseball I KATHERINE RENNER - - Hiking BARBARA SIPERD - - Tennis MAXINE MARVIN - - Dancing M ninety three Senior Basketball Champions FIRST ROUND Seniors 2 2 .... ...... ................ ....

Due to the excellent guidance and advise of Mrs. Jessie Rhonemus, supervisor for the last four years, the society has proved very beneficial to those interested in dramatics. Membership in the club is determined by tryouts at the beginning of each school year. Members of the Junior play cast are automatically taken into the society the following year without tryouts. Programs consisting of short plays, impersonations, readings, discussions, or biographies of famous players are given at the meeting. These are arranged by a special program committee which endeavors to introduce variety and to stimulate interest in the programs. An event which the students eagerly anticipate is the annual Troubadorian play. This has been a feature of the club's program since its organization twelve years ago. This year's production, Green Stockings, met with great success and gave ample opportunity for the dramatic talent contained in the organization.

This club was organized in 1924 with the definite purpose of furthering interest and developing talent in dramatics. This year the club has been very successful in carrying out its aim. Meetings were held twice a month at which short plays were given. followed by constructive criticisms by all the members. By this method the club hoped to give its members, the benefits of friendly corrections and suggestions. Members were also given the chance of directing a play by having the cast of one play direct the next play. Readings and talks were occasionally presented at club meetings. In a mass meeting this year the play, An Economical Boomerang was presented by a capable cast. It has been the custom of the club to present a play every year. All those presented have been great successes, due largely to the able directorship of Miss Dorothy Faris, club supervisor.

It was, as usual, the first play of the year, and it started the dramatic season very successfully. Miss Maxine Marvin played the title role as Miss Vanity Fayre, an English actress, while Jack Gushman played opposite her as Jefferson Brown. a young American. The supporting cast was headed by Miss Florence White, as Vanity's sister, and John Crawford, a young Endglish nobleman who was engaged to Vanity. Others in the cast were Jeanette Mason, Jean Welty, Rebecca Jane Taylor, Margaret Barr, Alice Hilty, George Nicol, Charles Copeland, and Lee Etzkorn. The setting for the play was in London in the Fayre apartment. Vanity had come to believe herself quite indispensable when she was told that neither she nor anyone else is ever that important. The report of her death was given out but she had disguised herself as an old aunt and visited her sisters and brother. She soon found out that people did not think as much of her as she had thought and that her place in this world could be and was filled quite capably by another. But she learned that to one person she was indispensable and, sacrificing everything to her sister, she went with him to America. Vanity was said by many to have been the best play presented at Central for several years. Although this may be questioned by the members of other classes, the Juniors feel that their play was a success. Mrs. Jesse Rhonemus, who directed the play, is well known at Central for her ability as a dramatic coach. The success of the play may be attributed largely to her efforts. , ninety eight h 5 E 5 ? gl F-ff?

Mr. Broadhead has worked unceasingly for the perfection of an orchestra of excellent quality. He has succeeded in giving the orchestra the prestige it deserves and in making it popular with the students as is witnessd by the large number who took part in its activities this year. The Eisteddfod, one of the most important activities participated in by the orchestra during the past year, was held at Ada. There Central's musicians competed with orchestras from cities such as Findlay, Kenton and Bluffton, well known for their musical talent. Other activities of the orchestra included the music at the Auditorium meetings, the numbers at the Lecture Course programs and finally he music played in collaboration with the South High School Orchestra at the Commence- ment exercises Thelma Mervis Bill Seriff Dick Whittington George Wood XVm.

Under the direction of J, N. Dupere. it has gained favor with every student in Central for its loyal support of sports throughout the year. As usual the band played at foot- ball games as well as the basketball games. During the year the band has given concerts in numerous cities and towns in northwestern Ohio, including Toledo, Ottawa, Gomer, Spencerville, and Bluffton. These programs met with great success and the ability of the individual members of the organization was highly praised by all who heard the concerts. The outstanding number rendered by the band this year was the musical drama entitled Well, Who Are You? It was written by Mr. Dupere especially for dramatization by the band and offered a unique as well as entertaining diversion.

The club's purpose is to further interest in music among the girls in the school. Q ' ' A' Under the capable supervision of Miss Violet Lewis, the club has attained an important rank among the other clubs. During the past year the society has presented programs before the student body, teacher's meetings and churches. The club was also entered in the Eisteddfod. At each meeting, the time is spent practicing songs and learning the fundamentals of good singing, ' With the accomplishments of the club for this year and former years. music should attain great heighths among the girls.

At the beginning-of the season the Aflirmative team was defeated by Kenton. then, in return, Central's Negative team won from Kenton. This victory entitled Central to a new place in the tournament which was sponsored by the League. Sidney's Negative team gave way .to the Central Afiirmatives, and the Negative team then con- tended for further honors. The annual triangle debate Was held on February nineteenth with the Affirmative squad debating at home with Findlay while the Negative team traveled to Fostoria. The debate question, chosen for the year, was: Resolved: That the United States should cease to protect by force of arms, capital invested in foreign lands, except after a formal declaration of war. This year the teams were composed of entirely new material. Since only three of the varsity debaters will be lost by graduation an even more successful year is prophecied. Much credit should be given to the coaches, who are Miss Gayle Howey, Mrs. Gwen Pence, Miss Grace Fishbaugh, Mr. C. C. Romaker, and Mr. H. W. Leach. Howcy Pence Romaker Fishbaugh it X55 c fy MW' L-,GX Qgxyfyu- l ff, ' - - one hundred six iff ' Senate AST year, the Senate, strictly a boys' club, had approximately twenty-four members. These, for the most part, were upper classmen of high scholastic standing. A few freshmen were admittedg however, they had to be worthy and well qualified. The club, in previous years, has been divided into political parties in order to increase interest in the nomination of the president Of the United States. Each party had a leader and this resulted in voluntary discussion and debate on political topics and party issues. This- year, Mr. Romaker, supervisor of the club, has a new type of debating which he has adopted. There will be no sides to the question and no decisions. The question will simply be stated and a debater will present his ideas in regard to this question and the audience will not know for sometime which side the debater is on. At the last meeting, last year, the members elected a temporary chairman. who was to have charge of the iirst meetings this year. Ofhcers are nominated and ele'cted during these first meetings. They serve for session, the equivalent being one semester of school. A First Session OFFICERS Second Session ROBERT FOLTZ .............. President .............. ROBERT FOLTZ GORDOR CARL ............

Organized in 1923, it has since made good progress along its line of endeavor. The original purpose of the club when it was organized by Mrs. Pence, was two fold-to study parliamentary law and to give much attention to current affairs. Later another goal was set, that of interesting the girls of Central in debating. To promote this interest debates were organized in the House. One result was that there was a good representation of girls among the students out for debate. The House is conducted in much the same manner as the national body in Washington from which the club name was taken. Each girl chooses one state from the United States, which she wishes to represent in all the discussions. The only requirement for new members is that their names be brought up by a member of the House and then voted on by all members of the organization. The principal event of the year is the annual House-Senate debate. In 1927 the negative side of the question- Resolved, that the five day week with six days pav should be adopted throughout the United States was defended by the House. To the satisfaction of its members the decision was three-to-nothing in their favor. Members of the faculty acted as judges. Again the following year a House-Senate debate was staged. On this occasion the House took the aflirmative and was defeated by the Senate. The question for debate was Resolved: That Capital Punishment Be Abolished in the United States.

The first reason was to encourage student government, thereby elevating the student's attitude toward himself, his fellow sudents, and his faculty, the second reason was a dominating desire to imitate precedence established by larger schools which at that time, were said to be operating basically on the honor system. The legislation attempted by the Student Council has been generally suc- cessful, considering the length of its existence. t iz! g-, ,XXX one hundred ten Hi-Y Club HE organization of the Hi-Y Club in 1918 brought a club into Central with the purpose of creating, maintaining, and extending throughout the school and community high standards of Christian character. The membership is composed of Junior and Senior boys who are interested in carry- ing out this aim. This year the club completed a successful program. Meetings were held weekly at the Y. M. C. A. where discussions were led by members of this club. or Mr. R. T. Veal, Advisor. Often men were secured from out of town to address the club on Older Boys' Problems. Features of the meetings were the Round Table Discussions held for purpose of giving helpful criticisms to individualfmembers. In-cofoperation with the Blue Triangle club. the Y Forum meetings were held and Four C's Week was ably sponsored at Central. Hi-Y and Blue Triangle members read the Scripture lessons in mass meetings. The l-li-Y Club was respresented in the State Hi-Y Convention this year at Springfield, Ohio, by William Fowler and David Evans. OFFICERS WM.

The club membership increased steadily and the influence of the organi- zation spread through Central in a remarkable manner. Those students were admitted as members who expressed their desire to carry out the club purpose: to create, maintain, and to extend throughout the school and whole community, high standards of Christian living. Meetings were held weekly at the Y. M. C. A. during the past year. Round Table discussions concerning club members were held as in the Senior Hi-Y while the main topic of discussion was The Problems of American Youth. Much of the club's success is due to the excellent guidance and help offered by Mr. R. T. Veal, advisor of the club.

This club membership is open to any commercial student in Central, and as the membership was not limited, a great many students have taken advantage of this opportunity. Meetings were held every two weeks, at which programs, talks and plays were given, and often very interesting discussions took place. Every year the club gives a party. A short play, along with games and contests is given for entertainment. This club is to establish commercial interest in the minds of the students. Mr. DeLong, Miss Snook, Mrs. Swearingen, and Miss' Row are the capable supervisors. Another purpose is to get the students more interested in the occu- pations of the commercial world.

W. C. A., has exerted a vast and tangible iniluence over the girls of Lima since its I formation here eight year ago. The purpose of the 'organization is to foster a greater development of the four essential qualities of a girl's 'make-up: namely-her health, her knowledge, her spirit and her service to others. a This club assembles twice each month at the Y. W. C. A. where interesting and instructive programs are enjoyed. In addition to these meetings, the activities embrace charitable work, parties, and gatherings of a various nature, sponsored by club members. V During club season a fund is raised for the purpose of sending the president- elect to the national conference, held each summer. At this conference plans are made, problems discussed, and the representative is afforded an excellent opporf tunity to bring back much of benefit for her own group. The ensign of the organization, as its name suggest, is the triangle, and its meaning is both interesting and inspiring. The three points of the figure symbolize the spirit, body, and mind of the individual: the circle drawn around the triangle and touching each point, represents her contact with other people. All girls in high school are eligible for membership: the requirements being attendance at three consecutive meetings, learning the code, and going through the solemn ceremonies of initiation. The Blue Triangle ring is presented to those girls Whose practices best represent the ideals of the club. It is not offered as a reward but for the purpose of encouraging the individual, and as a sign to other members that she has desired to be as fine as possible. Needless to say-all sincere members strive to be Worthy of the ring, and to have said of them that they live up to the club motto to face life squarely and to find and give the best. The organization advanced Wonderfully during this, and previous seasons, but has by no means reached its zenith of development: for a club based .on such principles as the Blue Triangle is bound to succeed in the truest sense of the work, and this means constant growth and expansion.

The motto Service is the underlying principle of all the club Work. The organization of the year 1928-29 had several definite projects in mind. One of the important ones was that of giving around the holidays of baskets of food and clothing to the poor people. Another one was the furnishing of milk to under-nourished children in the grade schools. Probably among the most important projects were the furnishing of magazines to patients in the Tuberculosis Hospital and the co-operating with the Child Welfare and the Family Welfare. The club also assisted in the sale of tags and Christmas seals. The club did not have all Work and no play. A luncheon and a tea were given during the year and some very excellent programs were enjoyed at the meetings. Much of the club's success is due to the integrity of Miss Reilly, the supervisor. i OFFICERS MARGARET EARLY ----- - - President LOUISE SMITH -, - - Sr. Vice President MARY LOUISE STEINER - Soph.

There were two divisions of the club, the Freshmen-Sophomore division. which met I on the first and third Wednesdays of each month, and the Junior-Senior division on the second and fourth Wednesdays. The study of the clubs, how- ever, was just the same. The clubs studied the problems of the modern girl. Very interesting discussions were held at each meeting and questions that had been turned in at the beginning of the year were discussed. On December the seventh, Reverend Riley, who was brought here by Miss Deputy and the club, spoke on the ideals of the young people of England compared to those of the young people of America. Later in the year the members of the club gave a few skits in mass meeting. on good and bad habits and manners. Miss Deputy gave a great deal of time to the club and helped to broaden the minds of all the girls who belonged. We all hope sincerely that it continues to retain a place in the list of clubs at Central.

Very often speakers have been obtained for the meetings, this was to broaden the mind as to the knowledge of art, and artists.

It was formed at the request of a group of students especially interested in radio. The club met every two weeks with Mr. Cahill as supervisor. The purpose of the club is to forward the new invention of Radio Tele- vision. Television, as you know, is in its earliest state of development. It is not practical for use in the home and will not be for quite a While. The work of the year began with the building, improving. and repairing of radio sets belonging to the members. Much experiental work was carried on under the supervision of the club, Explanations of battery eliminators and plans for obtaining the best results were submitted. Members were shown how to secure the correct voltage for each part at certain points of the windings. Radio transmission was given considerable attention. Discussions were held on the power and use of different transmitting tubes and the methods of obtaining the best results from tubes and circuits. Many broadcasting stations were taken into consideration. Experiments in television occupied the club meetings in the latter part of the year. Many dimculties arose but much pleasure was derived from the work. The television functioned successfully and many ideas were tried out: some appeared quite useful, while others seemed impractical. The transmission in television was studied which included methods of obtaining pictures at great distances and the use of photo-electric cells. In the discussions it was stated that television would be used in he homes for entertainment and commercially for the identification of criminals in police courts. The Radio Club is deserving of praise in that it inspires its members with inventive desires and opens to them unlimited fields of activity.

It has been organized for only one year, and consequently has not set much of a precedent. The Junior Science Club has the same ambitions as the members of its senior organization-that of bettering their knowledge of science. They, however, because of their lack of experience along scientific lines, can only enter the more elementary phases of science. This new group will furnish members for the advanced club who are nrepared to the work since they will be aided by one or two years' experience in the elementary group.

' Allen County Wheelmen HE Allen County Wheelmen Club, a comparatively new organization. has risen to a place of prominence this year through the efforts of the members. individually and collectively. The club was organized in 1925 at the Y. M. C. A. for the purpose of promoting interest in bicycle riding and racing. Members do not participate in Sunday races in accordance with a club agreement. The club has not only made its influence felt in Allen County. but in foreign countries, as shown in Lima, Peru, where a club has been formed thaough the inspiration of the local club. The motto of the club is Ride a ike. The organization is a member of the Amateur Bicycle League of America. Four bicycle dealers, a bicycle manufacturer, and the Y. M. C. A. give the club their loyal support. Jack Baker, a member of this club and student of Central, won the place of Junior State Champion this year in the Ohio State Championship Races. He also obtained third place in the national competition. Each year a week is set aside as Bike Week, during which special races and parades are held. Long trips are taken in the summer vacations. In 1927, several members of the club rode to Cumberland Gap, Kentucky. a thousand mile trip. This summer, it has been planned that the club ride to Niagara Falls. Mr. W. L.

Mr. Cahill, teacher of Industrial Arts, was chosen to direct and to supervise the club because of his experience in this line of work. Farnham Randolph was elected president of the club for the first year. One of the iirst meetings was held at night and each member brought films and supplies which were developed by them in the supply room. At several meetings the members practiced printing pictures from the negative. However, most of the meetings were taken up by the explanation of some phase of the subject, such as: taking interior picturesg the timing in respect to the number of windows and color of the walls: outdoor pictures with a bright sky, a cloudy sky, with dense woods: the using of color filters to produce colored pictures: and the finding of the focal length of lenses. A device was made for each member by Mr. Cahill by which the distance from an object can be found. At one of the meetings moving pictures were shown by a member who owns a machine and proiector. A trip was taken to the roof of the Lima Trust Bank Building from which pictures were taken by the group and also of the group. To further the study of commercial photography the club took a trip to the Adon Studio. The study of this subject has been both profitable and interesting, and it is expected that there will be many new members in the succeeding years for it must be remembered that this is a very new club and that it has already done much.

Scholarship Contest , WENTY pupils represented Central in the district scholarship contest held at Bowling Green and five emerged to continue in the state contest at Columbus this year. This new plan of holding contests and of award- ing scholarships was inaugurated this year by the state department of education in connection with the college of education of Ohio State University. Two-year scholarships at any of the state colleges were awarded to those taking first place in the state contest while one-year scholarships were given to winners of the district contests. Nine class A high schools participated in the Bowling Green contest while high schools representing twenty counties took part in the class B division. Fourteen out of the twenty students representing Central placed in the competition. The fortunate contestants were: English 12-William Fowler and Margaret Davidson, fourth place. English 10-Margaret Webb, fourth place: Ruth Jane Mericle, fifth place. American History--Margaret Early, third place: Brotherton Young. fourth place. Latin 10-Zoe Emily Schnabel, third place: Barbara Siferd, fourth place. Latin 9-Anna Florine Randolph, second place. Biology-Mary Badertscher, fifth place. Geometry-Arthur Fowler, fifth place. Algebra-Ralph Goldin, second place. French I.-Mona Vittur, second Dlace: George Tilley, fifth place. Other students who represented Central at Bowling Green were: Mable Hinton, William Scott, Paul Wagner, Pirkle Jones, Wayne Olfenhauer and Louise Hover. Margaret Early achieved third place in American History in the state contest. Others who went to Columbus were: Zoe Emily Schnabel, Mona Vittur, Anna Florine Randolph and Ralph Goldin. The contest is to become an annual event and it will include a greater number of subjects next year. Central students will look forward to the contest next year with eagerness. for it offers great opportunities for seeing Ohio's colleges and meeting educational leaders, as well as obtaining one's higher edu- cation in a state college.
