Lodi School is proud to have at its head a.corps of competent and efficient teachers. ' All are true teachers, willing to give of their ta lents, time, and energy for the development of the pupils norally, spir- itually, and intellectually. They are’ vitally interested in the welfare of each tndividual in the school as well as in the Tie reeks tee They have taken part in community activities, such as Rotary Clubs, “o munity Chest Drive, Church and numerous others. Perhaps, gentle reader, you are not aware that your! teachers are not merely long faced, stern-eyed pedagogues who delight in taxing your minds with stren- uous, irksome assignments, giving four hour detention hall slips for being caught in the upstairs halls without that much needed little slip of paper, but are really human beings and even enjoy roller skating. Occasionally they have shown you their sporting side. They also enjoy each other's society and fror what we can gather have had many a pleasant evening together. (We hear vague rumors of trips to a certain house on Bank Street and even in the direction of Wooster when the thermometer hovered around zero). One such party included the mem- bers of the School Board and their wives. So you sée they believe in mixing work and play. The personnel of the faculty is as follows: HAROLD A. WHITE, A. 38..

Miss Diadema: Churchill taught there during the summer. She was succecded by a Mr. Yimothy, who’ taught a class of. four to sight pupils for ‘several years, Later a new sehool house was erected at Cherry Corners, and.teaught first by Miss Harriet Horslrord, then by Mr. George McQuay. In 1850, the number of children between the ages of four and twenty, in this school district, was one hundred and thirteen. In 1860, it had increased to four hundred and forty seven, and in 1880 the total was four hundred and eighty two, Tn compliance with a new state law, a school board was created. The members were: H. Ainsworth, H. Selders and N. Harris, Need of a larger school arose, and, in 1871, a new Academy was built at the cost of twenty six thousand dollars, Here was conducted for a term of years an institution of higher learning. Students from towns around Lodi attended the Academy and stayed at the San- ford apartments. After some years, the Academy was eclipsed by more pretentious colleges, and so the old Academy was offered forrsale.i The village purchaced.the, bullding Tor Pive thousand; dollars in 1879 anc began to prepare it for a public school. Mr. Sabastian Thomas was appointed Superintendent and taught the upper classes.. Miss Jeanette Wells, who is now Mrs. Pergons, a resident of Lodi, had charge of the intermediatc. pupils, and Miss Alta Adams taught the primary classes. The subjects kawentowere: readings writing,;arite. 2tle,: spelling. and geography. The subjects that,,have, since been added .are: History, gcometry, algebra, physics, chemistry, agri- culture, Latin, French, German, biology, home economics, — manual training, typewriting, shorthand, bookkeeping, art, music and physical education. After Mr. Thomas! super intendency ended, a Mr. Lee was elected to take the position. He was succeeded by Mr.. Be. F. Hoover... Next in order was Mr. F. G. Maurer, Mr. Fs Ms Plank, and Mr. Elliot. Then followed Mr. Maurer and then J. F. Smith and later P. H. Smith. Mr. Smith was succeeded by Mr. Ce. A. Hosteller. And then Superintendent J. B. Hughes followed by Mr. R. Be. Snell. Mr. H. Aw White is the present super- intendent. Twice during the past twenty years the school has out- grown its accommodations, and two new and up-to-date brick buildings now adorn the fine campus. The grade build- ing was built in 1914, and the high school building in LOSS� 10 Mrs, Ainsworth donated five thousand dollars to be invested at six per cent interest which was to be used to buy mecessary. books Tor, the, Library.) This’ Tasted for, fifty-four years. The present library has around two thousand volumes, A portion of the partition be- tween an adjoining room and the library has been removed, making the library reading room larger. The Senior class of 1931 donated four tables with six chairs each to be used in the room adjoining this library. The science department is equipped with modern apparatus and a large supply of materials. The conmer- clal department has thirteen typewriters. invl950 2a radio system wes installed. This apparatus has become indispensable. and was essentiel to, the progress of tne school. oI[t was, completely installed and sesenpled) py Superintendent “Jhite and the Superintendens of Cheatham, My. Kohli, the only cost being that of the weterlab and a.gmnal ly aman ‘of forty dollars for Mr, Rahlilse servicea, in 1931 Lafayette began to send their highschool students .to Lodi, “This imereased the sige of the stucent body and the present census shows three hundred and sixty students ir the high school and nearly six hundred in the SLeLre school, One of the faithful fisures always seen around the building is Mr, Clark Underwood or Shorty ; as he is better, known, Nr, Underwood has been the janitor for nineteén years, and somet hing would’ be missing if we could not see this short, stocky figure pushing that. broom around, or hear his cheery salutations. One of the most interesting commencements ever. held at the high school’ took place’ May 26,1933, “Itewas the ‘Tiftieth anniversary of the Lodi High School and all the members of the first graduating class were there, The ‘members of this class were; Miss Elizabeth Warren, Mrs. Jennie Redfield Miner, Mr. George M,, Gilbert, Mr.‘ Charles Palmer, and Mr. P. C. Fullerton, Remarkably enough their teacher, Mrs. Jeanette Persons, was’ also present. Each graduate of 1885 was presented with’ a “diploma”.

They had engerly wats ned for its coming. Mother and Father had talked and. talked about when This Fall comes; My Ghild. soon the troin wile be here and you must board it SPor wour tour.” Little did anv Cor the sroup of happy youge sters think or even dream whit cs were in for, hbife had been Just one’ es icrious’ bime, with af em ‘excepts one such as diseases and forever being Urged. and nagged to scrub faeces and hands end to be Bure to: wash well behind the Cars. ; rae ua This trainwas operated and driven-by engineers, Miss Jameyson, Miss Schott and : conductor Mr. Hughes and they seumed like very GODS to'the following Human , Bxpress:. Maxine: Switzer, Me iry dane Rice, Dorothy Wagner, ‘Bernice Milkey, Henrietts Kucinski, Gertrude Kindig, Wilma: Keoner,:Helenn Paik, fioise Falconer, Lenore Briggs, Jamés Matthews, George Pow la ud, Hdward Kucinski, Donald Devoe, Jean Archer, Mae Nomi snick, and Wayne Darr. This train kept winding it's Journey for-+two years without - taking on any more,Exp :.7s or dis posing of any. -In 1924 alter: Snell’ and Dale Kaylor iia pub” on board, and for hree more years the tra.a went. bavpily on wit h no Stops. n 1927 the train pulled into « siding long enough to ajiow Irene POuNoK? Fred AEG Se and. Thelma Crosky to. get mboard. . | The old: Express) had ‘buch travalline 2h terra. io speed, her wheels needed grease and cil) the old bobicor needed more steam, there was quite a pull ahead up the steep mountains of depression! so the train stopped long enough at Lafayette in 1°54 to take om Stephen Szikula, Virginia Ryan, Harry Michaels, John Lutsch, Wendell Lance, Ida Govare, Betty Jane Gamble, Vilma Botar, end Clarence Benynk. Hilda Rumbaugh jumped aboard at this time. Ané@’in the year 1932 the old train slowed down long enough to take on Connie Skurvid, Willis Ferenbaugh, Josephine Sidencranz md Helen Huffman md Helen Gangle. At another stop in 1933 the trein picked up Martha Price, Williom Ensminger, John McKahn and Harold Mong. With a total of forty-one packages of both precious and expensive Express the train has rumbled on, and now at the top most peak is about ready to unload, so as to be ready for another train load next fall. And it is hoped that when, on June 6th the wide fertile fields are viewed beyond the peaks that the Cargo which goes the four dir- ections will find success and happiness therein. cL INCIDENTS THE CLASS OF 1934 VILL NEVER FORGET When George Rowland gave Eloise her Pirst thrill in the second grade.

The Seniors and high school teachers were guests of the Junioers Ureak- ing. a tradition, the. Juniors decided to have a Prem instead of the usual banquet. Three Juniors and ene Senior made up our cheer leaders. We feel sure. some of: the, success was, due to these winsome lassies. The team included: Jayne McKahn, Bernice Pinley,. Elizabeth Richard and Lenore Briges. ‘ 28 During the preliminaries of the oratorical contests a number of Juniors wrote orations. Justine Johnson succeeded in being alternate to John McKahn, which we think 18 quite: an honor, On December eighth the Juniors gave their play, Stray Cats, before a large audience. Miss Marting was the director, Taking everything into consideration, the Junior class is certainly to be congratulated on its success as an all-around class.

As it was felt that there was a need for special emphasis on certain subjects, not in the curriculum, some were again made a part of the Seventh grade work. Spelling and literature had been combined with English but now a period every day is devoted to each of these. Literature has been taught as reading as well as from “she literary point: of view. This group of young students has done remarkable work this year-and has begun to build'a fine foundation for its coming High;Sehool work, . They succeeded in capturing the scholarshis-eup for. two six weeks periods. It was this grade who sent one of the champ- ion spellers, Frederick Grannis, to Medina and later on tO Akron’ to win high honor for.his sekeol. These young people who. dre quite up and going have not had all work and no play but have done many interesting ‘things both in and out of class.” .Their outside activities included: Christmas caroling, sing- ing, parties, producing plays, and other interesting things. .

GRADES The fifth and sixth grade room consisted of thirty three pupils, fourteen in the fifth and nineteen in ‘the sixth grade, under the supervision of Miss Pelton. Three new pupils entered the room during the year. They were Arthur Esenwine and Richard Sewell in the sixth grade and Billy Weber in the fifth. “Unfortunately two of the fifth graders moved away, Mahlon Culp and John Kratzer. Besides the many lessons -to prepare. there were other interests. The teacher said that the room belonged to the pupils. and they made it what it was. To do this every in- dividual took part by doing various duties assigned to him. Some of these duties were: taking care of the blackboards,,. attendance, and the general appearance of the room. For the Community Chest the room contributed the most money of the grades and second most in the entire school. Although many students of the Lodi School had scarlet fever all but three from this room luckily escaped it. They had charge of the Chapel Program but once be- cause of the dreaded scarlet fever epidemic. They heard ¢ number of educational programs over the radio and also at Chapel. One of Admiral Byrd's associates visited the school with his Eskimo dog, Tom Pratt. The pupils gave a two act, humorous class play the twenty-sixth of April entitled .octor Cure-All. | The moral in the words of Shakespeare were: It is better to bear the ills we have than to fly to others we know not of. Richard Leatherman had charge of the stage setting and produced a bell that would really ring. The room had a miniature library and the pupils took turns at being the librarians. There were many novels and educational books, also three sets of encyclopedias. Be- sides the small library the students had access to the lib- rary in.Hign School, « All the puptis were required to give an oral and a written book report for English. Many re- ports were taken from the books in the fifth and sixth grad Libary. Quite a few of the students had musical inclinations and made their own orchestra and glee club. They sang a number of two part sonss. Some pupils took instrumental lessons such as violin, cello, trombone, oboe and clarionet. William Grannis, usually known as Bill, was victor- lous in the spelling contest bv winning first place for 46 Lodi, second, in. the county and sixth for the northern part of Ohio. Walter Bowman came out second for the sixth grade, and Edith Rothstein, first for the fifth grace, Every individual received ia paper each week en- .:tled My Weekly Reader. By this paper the students aept in contact with the news. of the entire world, There were numerous parties during the year, a Hal- loween party, a Christmas party and a jolly farewell pinic at ,the.end sol � the school .ywoar., The pupids Lert for their various homes keeping in mind the good times they had had during that year. FIFTH GRADE The fifth grade.occupied the south west room on the second floor of the grade building. When school began the class numbered thirty nine; eighteen boys and twenty one girls. During the year Dori Fowler, Mable Friend, and Homer Fulton withdrew, while Jack Hall enrolied. On January 18, 1954 the class was saddened ‘by the deat! of Paul Coudret, who was killed by a truck while play- ing on the streets.

He most lives who thinks most, feels the noble: 5, acts the best. At the beginning of school the pupils felt young but anxious to learns Realizing tuxut they had a task befor. them, the class at once got dow. to business. In Arithmetic most of the work was dealing with frac- tions, They took an imaginary trip to all the continents in Geography. Of course this tested the reading ability. in health they tried to put in practice the things they learned; believing that health habits like all other good habits should be formed in youth. Dorothy Peterson ranke: second best in spelling in the grades. She was deprived from going to the Spelling Contest on account of the Scar- let Fever epidemic. There will be a lasting memory of English, History, and Writing. Miss Edwards was the teaci of these subjects, Miss Benson introduced a new method of music in this grade, which worked out successfully. She was always greeted with a smile. Many phases of art work was studied under Mr. Blain's instruction. One of the most interesting lessons was on nature. ‘The bird calls rendered by Junior Marvin can't be forgotten. opeaking was not neglected. One of the most remembe: - ed Assembly programs was exhibited on Halloween. Just think of how scared the little boys and giris were!

Children learn to read and write Bit by bit and mite by mite, Never any one, I say, Leaps to knowledge and its powers. Slowly, slowly--hour by hour, The heights of great men reached and kept Were not attained by sudden flight; But they, while their companions slept, Were toiling upward through the night.

After Christmas two boys moved to other towns to take up work in other schools. They were Vance Fulton and Harold Prisna, This deft the original total of twenty-six boys , and thirteen:.girls,. After Christmas the attendance was not very .good due to the scarlet fever epidemic.,; Those «who were vic- tims of this epidemic were; Winfred McVicker, Alethia Davis, Robert LeMar, Roy Cook, Alice Cook, Donald Woods, Daniel Massie and Dale Whitacre. Those who missed school because, of, quarantine were:,; Lillian Gorey, Billy ‘Bell, Leroy Harsh, Samuel Massie, and Date Bryant. The class gave only one chapel program before the ban on. meetings because iof scanles fever, bub ‘each pupil had a part in that program. However, they enjoyed many “programs given by others and wili probably never forget ‘the dog that was born on Admiral ®-vd's trip to the South Pole, The blind man also interested them. They enjoyed reading the newspaper, so in the fall they purchased Weekly Readers, which came each week bear- Ing CoS GCuUPRenb Lopics: olniniperest , They also had a library in their room consisting of about thirty-five books, Several good books were also read by the teacher. They enjoyed several parties during the year, on Hallowe'en, Christmas, Valentine's Day and Haster, in addition to the parties during the attendance contests. These pupils believed. in keeping clean as one means of retaining their health. So they each had a cake of Lifebuoy soap and a chart on which to check the times they washed. Those who washed each time required, for one week without forgetting, received gold stars. Their names were also placed on the honor roll for the Lifebuoy League of Health Guards. At the end of the contest, badges were given to those who were on the honor roll every week, 55 Scholastically; these puptis’are’ not oshind. “The following deserve credit. for not missing any words in spell- ing in their daily work for the year; John ‘nell, Mary Bowman, Dale Whitacre, -Janet Bartholomai, Robert DeVoe, Marilyn Barnhart, Samuel Massié, and Dorothy Wakefield.

Each child has a library card’and has taken out books for home reading. A child. acted as librarian. , The class was divided into three groups for Reading. These. groups were called EHlves, Fairies, and Brownies, The Number work consisted of addition, subtract- ion facts to twenty, column addition and story problems, Addition with carrying and subtraction with borrowing ‘was begun the last semester. The Lennis Pad Book Two was used. Practical application-was made by use of a toy store, toy money .and daily work on the black board. The children enjoyed’ en Indian’ project and play in the autumn, an Eskimo story with pictures in the winter and a Holland project of stories and poster in Chersrrine) Poss and stories, im season, a short study of Franklin, Washington, and Lincoln also Health and Safety work was included in the English.

A Class Room Honor Roll and Gold Stars helped to increase the interest in washing and bathing. One of the group, George Grannis had the misfort- une to break his leg while crossing the street going home from school. It was necessary for him to remain at home in bed nine weeks. Teii children of the second grade were sick with scarlet fever during a severe epidemic, There were twelve children on the honor roll at different periods throughout the year. They were: Gwynne Myers, Burton Bowman, Tommy Whitright, Junior Mendenhall, Lois Seward, Lester Seward, Mary Ellen Christian, Kenneth Bell, George Grannis, Genevieve Fosnight, Necia Rae McClain, and Doris Hagans 6 The Second Grade gave a chapel program in November, as sisted in the Christmas Program and the combined grade assembly in the spring.

At different periods during the year the following pupils were on the honor roll. Donald Leatherman, Edgar Lée Snell, Phyllis McClain and Wanda Garberick. The attéendence during Februs.y and March was not very good because of the scarlet fever epidemic. EHight- Senn. of the thirty-foun first graceve oad it. The Lirst preade ‘enjoyed several parties during the year, (ihe @irst one peing at Hallowe! en time. Every one enjoyed being masked for the party. They played games then had refreshments. Other parties were held at Christ- mas, Valentine's Day, and Easter. The children always looked forward to going to the auditorium on Wednesday mornings for chapel programs. ihe pregrams were presented by different rooms. The first grade had a program prepared but were unable to present it because of scarlet fever. They took part in programs at Thanksgiving and in the Spring. How interesting it is to watch the happy look on the faces of the children as they discover they can read. One section of the class has read eight books. The children thought it a treat to have Miss Benson come every two weeks to teach music. The regular music period was taught oy Mrs. Whitney. At that time Miss O'Hara taught a reading class in the second grade. Onee every two weeks the children enjoyed an art period taught by Mr. Blain. Some very good art work was done by Donald Leatherman, Frank Barsic, Edgar Lee Snell, 59 Sue Crum and Mary Pandur.

To enjoy life we must be receptive and we achieve recep- tiveness through knowledge. The study of art raises the standards of taste, Taste in the home begets taste in the occupants, Art is impractical only to the uninformed. Art is practical as liife Is practical, It touches everyday life in many ways. Art was taught one year in the county previous to the organization of “avhigh school) art class in ‘the Lodi mehoolsiyiits class is now Tinishimeg its fifth year. of existence; There .are two pertods: aiweeky with two hours outside work required, For this amount of work the state department allows one half a credit, Two years ago a special class in. fine art and crafts was introduced, Of the students of this class, each one must complete ten hours of class work with ten hours of outside work. Work done in this class is leading the state department of education to give diplomas to students who have compl=sted this course, Harold Hange will be the first to graduate under this department, Medina County is the first in the state to loffer sucha gourse, Nearly ne fourth of the high school students have elected art. In the senior high classes there are fifty- four pupils. In these classes are offered landscape in oil, pencil and crayon, portrait in ¢rayon and pencil, design, stage craft, lettering, metal craft, hooked rugs. This same art class is the publishers of this annual, Edgar H. Blain, assistert county superintendent of schools, as director of art, acquired his training in the Cincinnati Art Academy, Wilmington Collegc, and Ohio University. 65 Elaborate Production ToBe Gidens: “Sa turday By County Art Club aly tla ns canst hy i Janine tein Sabo e ™“ The Medina’ county art club play, “Once In a.

It provides an excellent opnortunity for students to take charge of their activities and learn the elementary points in the procedure of the self governing body, Since the first year the Student Council has func- tioned with varying degrees of success and energy. It is somewhat in its experimental stage and some changes will probably be made to make it still more successful than it has been, The Student Council is made up of two represent- atives from each of the three upper classes and one fromieach of the Junior High classes, .These represent- atives are electei by the members of each class. By this means it is possible to unify all the organizations of the different grades and classes nto one. , A great deal of responsibility has been assumed by the members each year which aids greatly in the administration of many school affairs, The Council has the power vu. make and enforce any rules which will aid in the betterment of the schocl. The whole extra-curricular program comes under their jJurisdietion,, Following are a list of the powers and duties of the Council: Grant charters to new organizations, to appoint necessary committees, to have charge of all financial matters pertaining to extra-curricular act- iW¥ltieRs or the school, It has established a lost and found department, It has provided a scholarship cup which is presented to tne Class having the highest grade average each six weeks period. .It provides a host or hostess to show visitors around the school, A good many committees have been appointed for many different purposes, These committees are as follows: The Athletic Committee has as its duties the providing 70 of avschedule of athletic activities’ for the noon Hour, This Committce has provided a skeleton program for girls who are interested in athletic activities and ia to earn a letter award, The Traffic Committee was established for the purpose of appointing at certain intervals students who serve as ‘ monltors or directors of trafire Am “the sare tar tne time that classes are changing, for the purpose of making the time consumed in passing from class to cla: 2: less by limiting the congestion and. confusion. A Relief Committee was appointed-which had as its duties ‘thé collecting and distributing of “clething to those who needed such relier Py. Mihney adc: plan a Christmas party each year for ioe gibt who may not be as fortunate as. others, These are only examples of the duties the Student Council has taken upon itself, The organization has room for improvement and changes will be made as new needs for the organization are found... The success of such an organization will-depend to a great extent upon the acti- vity and interest of thé ‘student bisa and faculty in such, an organization. fi Senior Girl Reserve Junior Girl Reserve “GIRL RESERVES There were about fifty-six Girl Reserves this year, thirty-four of them Sr, Girl Reserves, and twenty- two members Of VAS oan Ler A 6 he Braga The: Senior Girls chose as their year! 8 program A World's Cruise , The first meeting in September was.Shoreleave, a hike and picnic, at which the recog- nition ‘service “for new members was held, October found the girls Charting Our Course and studying the points of thé compass, There followed: a short time later a clever party, Gymkana, or Revels on “Shipboard, at which the members wore sailor clothes and brought prospective members as guests, An unusual enter- ' tainment of shipboard sports, ping pong, shuffleboard, dancing and card BPE added to the sailing atmosphere, For their rice” “méeting, Passing Ships Nrs. chandler was guest speaker, She explained what the wearer of a Girl’ Reserve ring meant to her, as a mother of boys.

However in the fall of the school year 1932-33 a Hi-Y Club was established under the direct- ion of B, C, Houseman, County Y¥.M.C.A. Secretary, with Mr. H. A. White as advisor. Richard Parker, who had attended the State Y.M.C.A. camp the previous summer, was elected president. Ihen it was found that the club was going to make a success of itself, and that the boys were willing to cooperate, it w as decided that Hi-¥ Clubs were to continue in Lodi High School. At the end of the second semestér and the last meeting of the Hi-Y for the year the following officers were elected for the present school. year: President oWilids perenbaugh: (Vice Pres- ident, Georgs Rowland: and for Secretary and Treasurer, Connie Skurvid.

The Latin Club; composed of the members of the first and second year Latin students, has two meetings a year. The first meeting wes held in the Domestic Science room et 6:00 ofclock Wednesday, February 14, 195 4. This was’a valentine party and offered excitement end fun for all. First a few games were played. Then sollowed the supper. It certainly was amusing when sunior Gamble spilt a few phaseli (beans) on the table and covered them by a huge napkin. After supper, Latin valentines were exchanged and the best were chosen.� Jack Reed's and Iucile Oller's were selected. Then Latin convndrums were released by Miss Marting, the Latin teecver. Judd Leatherman and Sam Garrison were the leading figures, | Then came the magnum momentum, the initiation. It has ‘been the custom ofythe second :year class to initiate the first year people into the Latin Club. I believe this year it was a real initrum. Parts of a cat were oass- ed around as for an eye--an oyster and many other things simi¥ar to the partsof pa cate, A. poy had to.carry a dishpan around to catch the qatrea (oysters) when they dropped, After the excitement was over a few Latin songs were: sung.! including Row, Rov,; Row Your. Boat. At the beginning of the yeer, three members of the second year class chose teams from the remaining students for a vocabulary contest. This ended in a dish- washing committee for the party. It happened that the toam that lost was all boys and there certainly was a considerable amount of splashing et quo modo, The Club as a whole was very successful and all mem- vers agreed that you can have fun even with the dead lan- gudge.' 84 - HOME wCONOMEOS' fhe ninth grade food cle pa Pani fhat it hee Hed quite eal profitable year, Not only have we learned to cook a nun- ver. of nice delicacies but we have also made up our’ own text books, The material has been gathered. from various ‘source books and advertising firms,’ We are quite proud of , these and feel. that they will be invaluable: for years to con At .the hosinning of the year we decided upon the type of ‘store in which we would like to market and then studied “how. we ye oy Boer our.

But we have found our samplers useful er we.are told to make an uneven basting stitch, Our first project bieneiHtod of pot hold@eys and tea towels, In the designing of them, we really found some real artists in our class, ‘Many of us did not like sewing at the ad Ty ae of the year but now we have learned to enjoy it. 85... The advanced clothing class started its work by the study of color, line and design, and we also received an idea of the fibers and materials best suited to us, Con- struction samoles were made in order to get us in practice after our summer vacation, Our first project was a blouse; and from then until Xmas we made dance sets, sleeping and lounging pajamas, collar and euff sets, slips, a few dresses, etc, Christmas time came along and we made the usual line, Xmas gift.1, including Laundry bag dolls, Alice in Wonderland, and Raggady Ann Dolls, pillows, pocket books, and various animals, Before Christmas our girls sponsored a Snowball Tea for our mothers, Decorations, refreshments and entertain- ment were in keeping with the Christmas spirit. Next in line came Interior Decoration with the study of antique furniture and books illustrating our dream house, The most outstanding thing we learned in this study was that a home does not need to be costly, but cimplicity and suitability are the keynotes, Some of the girls jumped from their own class room to the Manuel Training class where they labored hard to mak e de- signs on their dressing tables for their rooms at home, While these girls were carpenters, the remainder of the class made lamp shades out of brown paper dipped in dyes, waxed and then pleated, We feel that we will alwavs be able to use the practical knowledge we have gained this year. ( The Advanced Clothing Class At the beginning of the year, several home-loving Junior and Senior boys, who wished to be initiated into the Mysteries of the Art of Cooking formed a Boys! Cooking Class, Although the boys seemed to thoroughly enjoy the cook- ing, a regular habit of leaving the dishes developed, several amusing incidents during the ccicse of the year occurred, such as putting water softener in the biscuit, for- getting the baking powder, and flipping the omelet on the floor.| Some of the boys who couldn't eat their own products in- sisted upon finding a substitute. Consequently, a few less puddings and fewer bananas were left for the next day, Manners and conduct were also studied in the class, The Boys! Cooking Class 86 et MANUAL TRAINING The Mcthers of the 1933-34 manual training classes have continued the fine work that has’ been characteristic of the Lodi school for the past many yearsSe Very good work, in projects selected, construction, and finish was turned out. The great interest of the parents, along with that of the boys during the entire year was one thing that for the tine work which was put oute Many pieces of old’furniture found a new shine, a coat of paint, or a complete re-building job, much to their liking. The chore of re-building, re-finishing, and evon construction of new ‘jobs was made much casier Dy the mater- ial that the boys found in the Reports they were requir % to have at differcnt times during the ycare Those who had mortising work to do found it much car Ler because’ of the drill press. However, most of them were not fortunate cnough to have the motor mounted on the drill when thoy wore ready t� use ite (Oh! how we could use another motor.) We want to thahk ‘our instructol, ‘Mr. Loomis, for so kindly donatine the motor for our use. The lathe. , which was also donated by our instructor w great demand throughout the ontire year. Many beautiful lamps, some of maple and walnut, others of maple or wal- nut alone, found their shape during the year. Other ob- jects also found it to their liking to have their shape changed by the skew or gouge. Required projects of the seventh grade included bird houses, Loot stools ond tabarcts. Cypress being go easy to work with and handle was the main kind of wood used for these projéctse Many now sizes and designs were worked out in this work. An average of twenty-four bird houses a year for five years provide many future homes for the birds. Some of the boys found tin work more to their liking. Sugar scoops from the main part, and cookie cutters from the lids of baking powder cans were the main objects turn- ed out in’ this Lines The eighth grade devoted most of their time to the manufacturing of radio tables and magazine racks. However. other good work wis also turned out by these bdoyse Several high school pupils of this department tried Redi-Cut projects and were quite successful. Among the-: , 88 projects were codar chests, some of walnut or walnut veneer with cedar lininz, and others made entirely of cedar. The main benefit dGorived from these projects wore the lessons in finish which they furnished. Very beautiful work was donc with walnut being used throughoute Included in this group were end tables of different designs, tiltetop tables and writing deskse These projocts were constructed cntirely : the shope Included among the many other objects turned out dure ing the year weres. hall trees, ironing. bo:.vds, library tables, radio cabinets and benchos, sewing cabinets, end tables, writing) dcsks,: piang benchos,, davenports, lounge chairs, kitchen stools, bread boards and foot stouolse Many other smaller objects also. wore turned out, however. They are too numgro.us for mention. f Some of the boys tricd their luck with inlay work and had very good results. Checkerboards were the main inlay jobs. Many new and original designs were worked out in all projects. .ONnG,of; the wera vest improvements of; the year was the types, of finishes: both:.im,practiep-and -theony Much more LIne Wes spent. on,.dtinish and much better en was. turn- ed oute. The before mentioned outside reading was a great help.in.this works. All. -the membors of, the class, espeéially those that left this year hope that the lower classmen will continue.the good work. qs MECHANICAL DRAWING, One of the newer courses Longee in chighmyechool is mochanical drawing. For tho past five years this course of study had been ayatinble $0. juniorss However, until last year, wheh one girl signed up, ae subject was left wholly to the boys. .In the last. yoar's class; there were eightcen students under the able, supervisien of Mr. Loomis. It was required to pass the course thet each student} have Litty problems completely sketched, i:icsd, lettered | and bound into book forme. .In addition to thi’s each stu- dent complctcd an individual problem, a story of mechanical drawing and several test, problems. This is a preliminary course, desirable, and necessary for anyone considering studying civil engineéring, archi- tecture, drafting, or blue. printing, as several of the most promising students hope to doe ; Mechanical drawing is not only an interesting and valusble subject, but. serves. also: as) a testof) ability, persistance, accuracy and self-control. 89 ———_ —_ -s OUR COMMERCIAL WORLD For the fourth consecutive year, our Commertial Department has made a splendid record. The students have worked hard and their efforts have been rewarded in many ways. ; Certificates have been issued so far this year to the following people, in typewriting, for writing at the speed indicated: Bernice Finley-eighty, seventy- five, and seventy words per minute; Eloise Falconer- fifty-five words per minute; Winojean Archer-fifty-five, fifty, and forty-five words per minute; Esther Mae Nor- ton-fifty-five, fifty, and forty-five words per minute; Ruth Rothstein-fifty, and forty-five words per minute; Justine Johnson-forty-five, and forty words per minute; Anna Hageman-fcrty-five words per minute; Helena Falk- forty-five and forty words per minute; Hugh Williams- forty-five and forty words per minute; Vilma Botar- forty-five and forty words per minute;.

A number of the students in shorthand have become proficient encousi to win certificates. The ones deserv- ing special- mention ave those in the second year class, who have taken dictation for five minutes at one hundred words per minute to win a certificate and those in the first year class at seventy words per minute. They are; Bernice Finley, Eloise Falconsr, Ruth Rothstein, Anne Hageman, Helen Schmid, Bill Young, Mary Zayonce, Jane McKahn, Ruth McGarvey, Justine Jcnnson, Lola Lance, and Mildred Massie. | Lodi was well represented in the Mass Typing events this year. Both first and second year typewrit- ing classes participated. The record of the first year class was quite remarkable, the class average being for- ty-three words per minute. This in ordinary years would be good for a first or second place in the state. Win or lose, it was a:‘splendid piece of work. The aver- age of the second year class was forty-nine words per minute. ' The second big event of the year was Saturday, April 21, when Lodi journeyed to Rittman, eighteen . strong, in an effort to give Lodi its fourth Consecutive Medina-Wayne County Commercial Championship. There was plenty of opposition furnished by Rittman and Apple Creek, but.the Lodi students, seeking revenge for prev- ious basket-ball defeats by Rittman, could not be 91 stopped and when the smoke had cleared away rather late in the evening the results were: Lodi, eighty-four points; Rittman, sixty-two points; Appie Creek, eighteen points. Lodi ‘captured “three or’ the five firsts and four of the five second places. This alone was good for sixty-four of “Lodi'ts points. The first place ‘winners weres, Bernice Finley in Typing; Eloise Falconer in Bookkeeping; and Ruth Rothstein in Shorthand.

Only one letter man returned from the team of the year before and it was necessary to build the team around this one man, ‘The material at hand was plentiful but not outstanding. Whate ever success the team had was the result of steady play rather than a flashy attack, The members of the team worked hard but its smooth performance was interrupted occasionally by ineligabilities of one sort or another, This necessitated continually trying men combinations which prevented a well drilled machine being placed on the court, This year's team was not a team that attained the results that it did by sparadic efforts It was a team that continually worked and earned everything it gote This was demonstrated by its successes against exper= lenced and outst: nding teams. The coach instituted the plan at) the Tirst of the year and carried it, throughout the year of using as many players as possible in each game, at the expense of throwing away valuable practice that would have been received by the regulars., The value of this was demon- strated because of the number of boys who reported at the first of the year and remained for practice through- out the year. The greatest amount of good work for the greatest number of boys proved to be quite successful. Considering the inexperience of the team, the small Size of the players and the large number of good teams in the county this last season, the record achieved by the Ledi High School team is one of the best of recent years, The second team bore the brunt of hard practices against the first team all year.-without complaint. Men were sacrificed from the second team again and again to be used on the first team which made it hard to present formidable line-up at all times. In spite of this, the second team lost only three of twelve games. A great deal is expected of the second team next year. The table of scores for the year is as follows: Lodi 1l6--Westfield 103; Lodi 1%--Brunswick £4; Lodi 12-- 94 Homer 13: Lodi 26--Sharon £2} me 25e—-Liveroool 28; Lodi 30-=-York 213; Lodi acs 223; Lodi 14--Chatham 12; Lodi 26=-Hinckley AUS aS x fe 48--TAtchficla 14; Lodi ae Ppeneas ener Lodi S7--Granger ae ca Snell--Centcr--Class of 199 ae CEA ney Te rast.

Mr. Hurd, coach, Earl Patterson, 96 I Junior High Basket Ball THE GOMET BASKETBALL TEAM During the basketball season of 'Sd5and '34 a group of sophomores, who were intensely interested in basket- ball, organized a team which they called the Comets. These players. were former members of last year's Junior high team. All. through the entire season Coach Hurd and Mr. White were continually pestered by these sophomore _ Comets with the question, May we have the gym, tonight?’ After a time matters got so bad that before one of these players could open his mouth, he was instantly silenced by a thundering No! from one of these athletic directors. The Comets received a fairly good share of the second team games and in these games they acquired experience which they will remember for a long time to come. the night of the Seville game, after the regular second team of Lodi was badly defeated in the first quarter, the little sophomores were sent in. Fighting hard, they drove the score up, but in the end the experience and endurance of last year's County Second Team Champions held out and the final score read 2l+22 in favor of Seville. Several weeks later, the Comets played the Hinckley second team. As they entered the Hinckley School Build- ing, their opponents greeted them with the words, Gosh, is this the Lodi second team! What little guys.” Boy, this game will be a push-over for us. Later these players must have been greatly chagrined, for, contrary to their expectations, they were defeated by a score of 7-13. The Comets competed in a great many games outside of the regular schedule. In the interclass tournament they won as many games as any class team in the school. Quite often the high point man in these games was the right forward, Len Falconer, Pat Patterson, the Captain and right guard, netted many goals for the team through his ability to dribble around his man, Puddy Leatherman, center, claimed he had nine different center pivot shots, but they very seldom found the net. Dick Kucinski, left forward, came in handy on shots during the criss-cross. Kid Pansy Pandur, left guard, was a hard fighter when one was needed. Bob Leatherman and Sparky Clark kept the other Comets worried about their positions. 97 Some of che games which the Comets look back upon wi th pride are: : OY ihe Comets 863 0 Und omy EG oh SUB ete Ren eit ‘Gomebs, 303.

The world does not wel- ‘come us with open arms. lt. will not be easy to get posi- Vion that'suit us, or For which we’ are sulted, .The op- portunities are scarce and are not very,good ones... There still are millions of unemployed subsisting on charity. We, aS graduates, are fortunate, however, in having nad four full yoers:of: high school training. Some schools have been open only part time. Many here in Ohio closed carly this ‘year and-are.so deeply in debt that they may not opén next: year.: ‘Somewhere between. three and four million children were deprived of educational opport- unities during the past year throughout, the United States, There should be no moratorium on the cducation of child- ren. ‘Mey pass their way put onte,) never to Ppeturn,s Owing to the lack of opportunity to work, more boys and girls are: going to high school, In’ the last three years the enrollment has increased by seven hundred fifty thousand. Yet the number of teachers and the length of school terms have beén decreased. No new school build- ings have been built, many old ones need repairs badl y, and the schools are overcrowded. This is not a beautiful picture--especially in the country whose boast and ideal has been free public education for all its young citizens in the making. Many other things have happened during these trying times. Some of-these are: The schools have been dis= rupted, the health of children nnd grown-ups throughout the land has been impar ”. the moral of the people has been undermined, the minds of the people have been’ unsettled, and some of the people ha... become dissatisfied with the government, The school situation has already been presented, The question now is will the schools be able to keep going so as to educate the growing seneration? Thousands of people have been poverty stricken in the last few years, They have not had enough food and clothing. The children of poor families are undernour- ished and sickly. These familics also lack proper medical attention. 107 | i 4 i ‘ ‘ When men are out of work and cannot find work they become dissatisficd with Lifc.)� They cannot) stand the sigtr:: of‘ seeing their families undernourished and poorly clethe: . living in rude. shacks with very little: protection: from the weather. Fs it no wonder that the moral of the country is at. a low cbb? All of this has caused the: people of) the country to become upset.

What will happen to, the,country if this, keeps up?) : The outlook is not all dark, however, for the younger generation includ ing the class of 1934, is a well-educated young group. They have learned their lesson while young and they will remember,,and try to.profit by their, experience.) The de- pression has created many problems beyond the power of our slaers., tO Settles mow-eit 16 the. time fori the, younger gen- eration to help solve the present problemsiand'to steer clear of future economic crises, The youth of toduy hes read of men who have been false to their. trust. This growing generation has undergone many rude disiifusionments, It has at times been accused of irresponsibility, but can the preceeding generation, in ligh: of what has already been said be entirely excused from thie fault? On the whole wo are a bold, independent young group, better prepared perhaps, than our parents, to face and over- eome the obsetucilcs in the. way of Ssané=living. The great energy snd hopefulness with which the gov- ernment is taking hold of our problems show the things this democracy can do. O,6 of the greatest hopes is the new leadership, which is coming to the front. Bub it ie still inadequate as a result of being tound too much to the old categories of thought. [It is up to the younger generation to see this necd and to assume t”. responsibility for ful- Poti ne Loy Out of classes such as ours, then will come the future leaders, and they must be good ones. They have scen and observed this last economic crisis. They know some of its causes; they know the methods used in attemoting to get out of iM, and they hevo sewn the damage done, which can never be completely repaired, The younger generation must not sit still and let alk this pass by: unheeded, but should remember the lessons recently learned at a great cost, and steer the future coursos accordingly. We are living in a time of change but we beli¢é¢ve we can adapt ourselves to this change. W,, the youth of today, have the advantage Of having experienced this crisis early in life. ‘fhe 108 wonder of it is, that it has not made us grow cynical, We still cherish the hope of bcing equal to the task. We hope to be worthy leaders of tomorrow. When a house is divided, there is more work to be done to save it. Now in these times of strifc and conflict, there) are’ more opportunities to work in solving our country's problems. Francis Scott Key, while a prisoner on an cnemy's ship wrote from in his cell some verses,’ These verses expressed the anxiety as to whether. our country was still free.
