N: .93 FOREWORD Loveland High School now presents the an- nual issue of the Loveland Scholar. In the pre- vious issues we have tried to give an account of the activities of our school as soon as possible after their occurrence. Now we shall endeav- m' to sum up all these activities. We realize the futility of our efforts to express with paper and ink all that has happened at Loveland High during the year just ended, but we have done so to the best of our ability, and can only hope that the contents of the following pages will meet with our readersl approval.

Walker HISTORY OF THE SENIOR CLASS OF 1927 This Senior Class of nineteen-hundred and twenty-seven has eight- teen members, all of whom, with the exception of Russell Keeler, who came in during his Freshman year, have been together all four years. Our class numbered thirty-six in September of nineteen twenty-three. Some soon dropped out and went to work and three moved away. Rus- sell Keeler entered our class in the course of the winter. The upper classes gave us a party at which we were duly initiated and really became members of Loveland High School. The faculty con- sisted of Superintendent Perry S. Potts, Principal Herbert Layport, Miss Ruth Esther Brann, and Miss McCormick. We started our Sophomore year with a few out from our former number. During the year Ruth White changed to the Milford School and Robert Gibson moved to Morrow, Ohio. We had Mr. Potts and Miss Brann back with us again. The Principal was Mr. Albert Sloan and the Latin and History teacher was Miss Mowry. The summer of 1925 slipped rapidly by, and soon we found our- 15 1 selves in school again, Juniors now, lookinp; forward to the time when we would be Seniors. There were two changes in the teaching force: Mr. Carey H. Milligan was in Mr. Sloanls place and Miss Alice Templin in the place of Miss Mowry. Under the expert coaching of Miss Brann we put on the play nBetween the Acts with a considerable degree of success. The pro: celeds where used in giving a banquet to the seniors of 1926 in the Love- land M. E. Church. Our class suffered the loss of one of its most active members about the middle of the term, Arnold Motz, who moved to Dayton, Kentucky. The school term of 1926-1927 started with an almost entire change of fabulty. Miss Templinis was the only familiar face that first day of school, but we soon learned to know our new Superintendent, Mr. AI- brecht F. Leue, our new Principal, Mr. Gerald W. Ramsey, and our new Science and Spanish teacher, Miss Hazel Hosbrook. Under the guidance of Mr. Leue the school has published a school paper, the ttLoveland Scholar . There has been a Student Council elected, and a Hi-Y club organized. The High School athletics have been good. The soccer ball team proved itself the champion of the eastern half of Hamilton County, and the basket ball teams made a fine showing. In all these the Senior Class is proud to have had a part. On May 4th of this year, the Senior Class, under the able direction of Miss Templin, gave a play entitled HBackbone , the proceeds of which are to be used in buying a trophy case for the High School. Now our High School days are almost over. Soon we Shall be no longer a part of this school, but must bid farewell to ltDear Old Love- land High . We cherish fond memories of the years we have spent to- gether and are appreciative of the faithful instruction we have received. C. Richard Marston CLASS PROPHECY It was a very early Spring and the woods were beginning to show promise of a brilliant future. It was one of those hazy warm days which grives one the Spring fever. I had yielded to the call of the woods and ' was lazily lying on the grass, gazing at a Ia1ge beech which was a solid mass of carved initials. I idly examined the tree. 1iM H. - R. C. e Let me see .1 R. C. Bobby Coylel and here's R. L K. and H. M. 011, I do wish that I could see all the old giaduating class and know What they are doing. 16 Hardly had I uttered the words when I heard a strange squeaking noise and out of the tree came a queer little man with a square head and odd robes. I must have shown my surprise, for he said, uDon't be frightened. 1am the Spirit of Friendship, and since you called me beneath the Friendship tree I could do nothing but answer. You just now wished that you could see your old friends of your High School Class, did you not? Very well, you may see them? As he spoke, there appeared before me a pretty domestic scene. I smiled as I recognized our Senior President, Bob Coyle, down on his knees fastening his ladyis slipper. I learned that, although he is a most efficient manager of Krogeris chain grocery stores, privately Mary manages him. The scene changed to that of a tropical island. I recognized to my horror Arthur Bail on a rude throne surrounded by worshipful can- nibals. My Goodness, how did he get there? I asked. Shipwrecked, my friend answered shortly. ttFortunately though, these natives think he is the man of the Sea and have made him their king. As the picture faded I turned to the little man: Isnit there any way of helping him? Donit worryfi he answered. ttArthur is too valuable a man to the business world to be lost lightly. A ship has been searching for him for months and is even now entering that harbor. Next I saw my old friend, Irma Bruton, sitting at. a desk in a large office. It seems that she started as a stenographer to the great law firm Winem and Sokum, and worked her way up until she is now the private secretary and advisor of the President, Mr. VVinem. Then I saw something I never expected to see, and that was John Conley working like lightning as a mail clerk. Upon asking a few questions I found that he had won several medals and had been com- meiided by the President for his bravery in capturing mail robbers. Next I saw a workshop, and I recognized Earl McLaughlin bending over a tangle of wires and queer objects of metal. Friendship said, ttEarl is'a successful electrical engineer. Besides he has invented many things and has now nearly completed an instrument with which you can see or hear anything on the face of the globe. Very similar to what youire seeing now. -I couldnt- understand what appeared next. It seemed that every- one in America had gone mad with joy. The little man soon told me 17 why. Carl Venard had just returned from the first successful non-stop flight around the world. I was about to say, ttturn on, when I saw Richard Marston hurry up and ask Carl for an interview. As Dicky was an old friend and the star reporter of the American Magazine, Carl willingly gave him one. You can probably read it in that magazine. The next setting was at the sea shore. I wonderingly beheld my old classmate, Sue Snell, in a crimson bathing suit with tLife Guard' on the back. I asked the little spiritft Is she really a life guard? Oh yes, he replied. HYou see she doesnt have to know how to swim. She just tosses out a life saver if anyone is in danger. This work doesn't interfere with the health of her children, for sometimes they play on the seashore and sometimes with whom you know as Helen Medert. Immediately the scene changed and I saw Helen teaching in a pret- ty kindergarden. My friend continued, She hasntt been able to agree with any of her husbands, but the children all love her. Suddenly it was dark and we were gazing into the mouth of hell itself! Red torches gleamed here and there, casting a dreadful light over the dark shadows. On the walls hung skeletons, their grinning, gaping bones covered With a green mold, while re'd devils danced about smoking bottles of skulls. Oh, don,t tell me that one of my friends has gone to this dreadful place, I begged earnestly. Friendship laughed. Oh no, this is just'a unique party given in honor of Roy Slone. You see he coached the Red Devils, winners of the national basketball championship. The next picture was the most touching I have ever witnessed. A little child from the slums had been run over by a heavy truck. An im- mediate operation was necessary. There was no money! Dr. C. B. Meininger offered to operate free of charge. Clintonis name will go down as a true benefit to humanity. In the next scenes I learned that Mildred Oldenburg had put aside any thought of a career and is devoting herself to the hardest job of all, that of being a good wife and mother; that Russell Keeler is chief mechanic of the Ford plant; that Clifford Bushman is a teacher of electrical chemistry at Miami University; that Virginia Grigsby and her two children are touring the world with some friends; that Alma Wal- ker is a highly prized Domestic Science teacher at the University of Cincinnati; and that Charles Cox has won fame in the fashion world as a designer of frocks and gowns, his chief slogan being Back to Naturef 18 As the last picture faded I was suddenly startled by shrill cries of nMama, Mama? With a dreadful picture of my small daughter drowning in the pond I hastened toward the sound. HWhats the matter. dear? I asked when I saw her running toward me. u'L'Tacious sakes, Mumsy, Daddy and I wanted to know if tou ,ad fordotten that roast in the oven? Sylvia N.

Sloan, Miss Rrann and Miss Mowry. There were thiI'ty-One in the class at the beginning of the year. In our sophomore year Mr. Potts, Mr. Milligan, Miss Erann and Miss Templin were our teachers. The class attendance had diminished to twenty-five. This year there are twenty in our class. An interesting: event 01 the Junior year was the class play, tToor Papzv , which proved to be so very successful that it was twice repeated in other towns. The candy sale, held by the class, lusting through several months, was made prw fitable by the co-operation of the other classes. In all the school activities we have been well represented. Pros- pects are bright for a successful Senior year. 21 SOPHOMORE CLASS 22 SOPHOMORE CLASS Colors - Blue and Gold Motto 2 ttNon scholae, sed vitae discimus.

We soon acquainted ourselves with the faculty, Mr. Perry Potts, Superintendent; Mr. Carey H. Milligan, Principal; Miss Alice Templin, and Miss Ruth Esther Brann, and with the students who came in from other schools. While most of our class- mates were old friends whom we had known in the grades, there were also some new faces. Some members dropped out or moved away dur- ing the course of the year. Our class was all together in our study of English and General Science, those subjects being required, but as to the other subjects, twelve took Latin, about twentyeone took Algebra, and about fifteen took Manual Training. The school year of 1926-27 opened with almost an entire change in the faculty. Mr. Albrecht F. Leue took the place of Mr. Potts as Superintendent; Mr. Gerald Ramsey and Miss Hazel Hosbrook suc- ceeded Mr. Milligan and Miss Brann. There was very little change in the pupils. Mr. Leue, our English teacher, suggested that we organize a Literary Society. This suggestion met with hearty approval and officers were elected and a constitution drawn up. In this society one day each week we had talks given by different members of the class. In the course of the year we also had two very interesting debates. During the year we were saddened by the death of our classmate, Boyd Smith, the loss of whom we felt deeply. W. J.

The class was the largest that had ever entered Lowland High School, and under the supervision of Mr. Leue, it was, for purposes of instruction, divided into two sections, A and B. On the fourth day of October our class election was held. On October 7th our class was given a party by the upper classmon. We enjoyed the evening very much, except that the various degrees of initiation proved somewhat trying at times. In return we gave a par- ty t0 the upper-classmen on November 10th. A very interesting social function, which has been not only enter- taining but beneficial, is our class clubs. They were organized Novem- ber 4th in our English classes and are conducted by the students them- selves, with Mr. Leue acting as advisor. At the end 01 the school term we participated in u fau'ewell party to the Seniors. M.

Dues were fixed at fifty cents for the school year, and those inter- ested in athletics soon joined. Enough of a treasury was secured to start basketball season with a surplus, after the completion of a very successful soccer season. Two new basket balls were bought, and it was also found necessary to order new suits for both the boysl and girlsl teams. Toward the payment of this equipment the Association man- aged, by careful spending, to save a little from the transportation ex- penses allowed the teams, since all the games were played away from home. The Junior Class donated twenty-five dollars from its class trea- sury, and several bake sales held by the basketball girls netted addi- tional sums. On March let, the Association took over the Juniors, busi- ness of selling candy, profiting a little for the remainder of the year. Then the long delayed Ford payment arrived for selling Dearborn Independents the previous year, and a magazine subscription campaign also swelled the treasury. In the spring, baseball suits, which the high school had needed for years, were purchased on long-time credit, since Loveland will here- after have a better money raising capacity through the facilities af- forded by a new gymnasium. So while the Association closes the year still somewhat in debt, the school now has new equipment which was absolutely necessary and impossible to delay acquiring. Next year, with good money raising facilities at hand and with the hearty co- operation of students and parents, our high school athletics should be carried on very well indeed. 29 STAFF OF THE LOVELAND SCHOLAR Mr. Leue Advison, Seaman, Bodley, Meininger, Keeler, Creager, Reif, Pfarr, Poe Owen, Smith, Snell, Bushman Editor-in-chiefL Marston, Segale, English Coleman, Burtt, Carpenter Ube lovelanb Scholar Published Quarterly by the Students of Loueland High School Lovelam', Ohio Established November, 1926 EDITORIAL STAFF Clifford A.

The Hi-Y Club, a new organization in Loveland High School, is one of the most popular school societies. It was organized under the leadershin of Mr. C. 13. Nelson, Secretary of the Hamilton County Branch of the Y. M. C. A., with twelve charter members, six Seniors and six Juniors, on November lst. Additional members were initiated later in the year. A committee drew up a constitution, which the club adopted. Meetings were scheduled for one evening each week, with Mr. Leue acting as faculty advisor. The Club sent seven delegates to the Twenty-Third Annual Older Boysi Conference held at Lima, Ohio, where more than a thousand boys of high school age met for three days to discuss Hi-Y problems and situations. Later three members represented the Club at the An- nual Southern Ohio Hi-Y Conference at Middletown. Valuable in- formation was gleaned from widely known speakers heard at these meetings. The Club has promoted several activities, such as a paper sale to benefit the'World Brotherhood movement. sponsoring programs for the high school, distributing Christmas baskets donated by the students for the needy, and holding a number of festivities. The Loveland Club took part in the Hamilton County Hi-Y Convention program held at Trinity M. E. Church in Cincinnati. On May 19th the Club sponsored :m inter-class held day for the high school. On March 30th, new officers were elected, whose term extends into next fall. By special arrangement, the Club will hold some meetings duringr the summer vacation. W.

Bob Coyle was elected captain; Clinton Meininger was elected Business Manager. Bob started in immediately to get the fellows in trim for the com- ing games. Enthusiasm ran high, and with the co-operation of the fellows he soon had the team in shape to start in on the seasonts work. They demonstrated their skill in their first game, with Goshen, by win- ning by two goals. To their list of games won they added Sycamore, Madeira, Goshen the second time, and Terrace Park. It happened that Reading scored over us the first time we played them, but Reading and Loveland were tied in their percent score in the Hamilton County League. Another game was arranged with Reading. This game was played November 5th on the Sycamore field and resulted in a Victory for Loveland by a score of 1 t0 0. Thus Loveland became the cham- pions 0f the eastern half of Hamilton County. The final game of the season for the championship of the coun- ty was played between Loveland and Harrison, at Norwood, 0n Novem- ber 10th. This was a very raw and gusty day and our fellows failed to get warmed up sufficiently. We made the first goal, but lost by a score of 3 t0 1. Looking on the bright side of things, we rejoice in the possession of the cup we have won, and hope for another good season next year. The fellows that regularly participated in the games of the season are: Coyle tCaptaini, Creager, Keeler, English, Slone, Danby, Owen, Davis, Marston, Bail and Wene. Poe, Segale, Conley, Stouder and Miller were the ever-ready subs. 45 053m imamoao .7238 222mm .mnm .Emoo Eumoov $5303 .meQ 383va .283 imzwci 5950 4.535 .SMEEmE 243:1 JAAVM- FNMmdm .mVOm 46 BOYSl BASKET BALL The basketball season is over. The excitement of the many games is past, with fond memories left imprinted on our minds indelibly. The boys have played sixteen games this year, winning seven. Out Of the nine that we lost five were very exciting games with close scores. This is a good record at that, with the crude facilities we have had to work with. Lately things have changed for the better: a new gym is in sight, and things look very promising for next years team. The boys received their new uniforms on December 1st. They wore them for the first time in the Sycamore game, played on Decem- ber 3rd. This game was won by a score of 29 to 7. When our boys new step out on the floor, they certainly look like champs. Mr. Ramsey coached the fellows the first part of the season, but because of his inability to come out on all practice nights, the fellows secured Mr. Lawrence tVVilliel VVolbers to coach them. Willie, as we all call him, was a real star athlete in his high school days and of course knows a lot about the game. He taught the fellows many new and helpful things, and all the fellows appreciated his good work. We were proud of Loveland at the North Bend Tournament, for although we did not win, we gave Harrison the hardest game they had to play in the tournament. An over-time period had to be played to decide the game. Harrison eventually won the tournament. The general line-up was as follows: Regulars Subs SloneeLeft Forward English CoyleeRight Forward Wene Danby tCatheCenter Keeler BaileLeft Guard Owen CreagereRight Guard Davis 47 mccanm zfoaoQ $.3on :03: SMEm Elam A4558 :me zamsm iomnEEim $3195qu Eupowu .EEQOSUm xpsm .Eomoov $300 Jamnagzm .3350 wiwniw Edth 41-41mm FMMm m .mAM-O GIRLST BASKET BALL The girls, Basketball season opened this year with much enthu- siasm. The team was organized in the early part 017 November, 21 large number turning out at the first meeting. Susan Snell was elected cap- tain, and work began with much pep and energy under her efficient supervision. During the first part of the season we were without coach- ing, but later were fortunate to have Elizabeth Coyle as coach. She proved very efficient and faithful throughout the season, always back- ing and encouraging us, and doing all she could to make the season a success. The handicap of not having; a gym has been the cause of many defeats which might have been Victories. XVe are therefore rejoicing at the fact that L. H. S. will be equipped with a gymnasium next year, although the senior members of the team will not themselves be able to make use of it. Ten games were played this season by the girls; two of these VlC- tories, while four were lost only by very close scores. The first game that the girls won was with Dayton, Ky., played on December 10th. This game was close and exciting, both teams put- ting up a strong fight to the finish and ending with a score of 10 t0 9. The next Victory for us was with VVilliamsburg, the first game of the new year, played on January 7th. The girls were sporting their new suits in this game which was fast and well played by our team as well as by the opposing side. Our girls held the lead through the great- er part Of the game. The final score was 30 to 19. After playing four more games, which were with Lockland, Mei :- row, Sycamore and Mason, the team began hard practice to get in trim for the Hamilton County Tournament held at Reading, March 4 and 5. Their first tournament game was played on Friday afternoon with Madeira, Loveland winning by a score of 22 to 5. St. Bernard then defeated Reading by a score of 19 to 17. Mt. Healthy then defeat- ed Lockland; and now came the big game for usasemi-finals with 7 St. Bernard. Our girls put up a real fight, especially in the last hall of the game. The score was 14 to 7 in favor of our opponents at the half. Our side scored four more points in the last half, while St. Ber- nard was held to 14. The final score was 14 to 11 in their favor. We at least have the satisfaction of knowing that they didnt get this game for nothing. St. Bernard won the tournament in the final game played Saturday night with Mt. Healthy. With this ended the basket ball season of 1927. Herels luck to our successors next year. H. L.

Six members of last yearts team were out to retain their positions, and a large number of others were eager candidates for the team. A meeting to organize the fellows was held on March 10th. Roy Sione was elected captain and Richard Marston business manager. That interest in turning out a successful team was in everyonets mind was shown by the fact that sixty boys were present at the meeting. Representatives from the several Hamilton County High Schools met at the Court House in Cincinnati on March 21st, to form a Baseball League with the co-operation of the Hamilton County Branch of the Y. M. C. A. A tentative schedule was drawn up and adopted soon after with some slight changes. The Championship was to be decided by percentage, and each team was to be held to its schedule. Loveland played three non-league games before opening the sea- son, and lost two of them to teams undoubtedly inferior in playing ability. Several combinations of players were tried in an attempt to assemble a winning team. The Mt. Healthy game was the first on the league schedule. The absence of Coyle and Slone in this game was too large a handicap to overcome. The hitting was weak and the fielding off form, and Mt. Healthy was easily Victorious, 8 t0 3. Three days later Loveland hit its true stride and defeated Reading Hi in a pitchers battle, seventeen innings being necessary to decide the contest. Loveland fielded well and batted well enough in the pin- ches to obtain the necessary margin for victory. The final score was 4 t0 3. Danby pitched a wonderful game, striking out thirty-three batters. Loveland was also Victorious in a loosely played game with Sycamore Hi. The weather was cold and neither team exerted itself. The final score was 22 to 11. 51 52 C ORNEH E m N E V U J EIGHTH GRADE THE. FACULTY S. S.

Then as we in our daily round The paths of duty tread, Let cheer and happiness abound For greater things ahead. Through life, let's keep our record clear, Be faithful till we die, Be true and loyal, far or near, To dear, old Loveland High. -A1brecht F. Leue 61 MEETI NG THE TEST ttCoach, Pm through with the team! A tall, well-built boy uttered the words, his countenance registering volumes of despair. His speech was addressed to a short, wiry man wearing track togs and a dirty sweatshirt with a faded L on the front. ttNonsense, Jerry! You couldnlt quit. What would your dad think? You have the same ability he had, only you haven't shown it. Therels something lacking, that quality necessary to make a loser a winner. You cant face the ordeal of a neck-and-neck sprint to the tape. Why you've quit time after time under those conditions when you might have won, and those lost points meant much to old Lakeview High. HYes, but Coach, Ilve tried time after time to break my- self of quitting, but it's no use. Now the fellows not only dislike me for quitting, but they shun me like a leper. Why, Fm a social outcast because of my showing in the pinches. Its not so hard to take their accusations to my face, but to hear them tell others is more than I can bear. HJust the other day I heard Chuck Green telling a report- er for an up-state paper that I was the worst man on the team, and he knows that he cant compare with me in the 220. My time is much better than his. In the mile run he is nearly as good as I am, but in the first two meets I gave Winters a close race each time? HYes, but I'll have to enter Chuck in this Fairhaven meet. You have been given enough chances, and even though you are faster you havent shown the finishing qualities Chuck has. If he got an even break in the stretch hetd make the great Winters realize he was in a race. But there's no reason in the world why you should quit the team. The fellows do talk rather freely about you, but the truth should never be hard to listen to, Jerry. I need you in case any little matter should crop up mak- ing it necessary to use a substitute. This meet means every- thing to us, and if I do say it, it seems that we have the mat- erial for successful competition with Fairhaven. Your schoolls success should come before your grievances, and its possible 62 that you might get another chance to prove your ability. But Itve nearly given up all hopes of your gaining self-coniidence, and thatls what you lack. Think it over, boy, and I'm sure you'll see the light. We take the 10:18 to Fairhaven Saturday morning and youtll be with us. So long, Jerry. Two or three days later the coach was in his room reading when the telephone rang insistently. He answered and talk- ed for several moments, a delighted grin appearing and re- appearing on his face as he listened intently t0 the voice over the wire. . Fine, Jaek, he chuckled, HYou have a great idea there. It ought to get results. P11 see you after the meet. Saturday was a typical spring day and it was a peppy bunch of fellows that boarded the express for Fairhaven. Several were not members of the track team, but students fol- lowing the team to give their support. Jerry was in the crowd, feeling very much alone. He took a seat by himself and at- tempted to keep aloof from the boisterous, jolly crowd of en- thusiasts. i Two hours later a large crowd was assembled in the huge Fairhaven stadium. All preliminary arrangements were completed and the judges stepped forth, with tapes and stop- watches in readiness. An announcer Opened the meet with several preliminary remarks and the teams prepared for the contests. The minor events were completed in a short time, and as had been expected, the two schools were practically tied. Lakeview had unexpectedly placed two seconds in the weight throwing, for they had not hoped to be so successful. Fair- haven had gained most of the firsts, but the seconds, thirds, and two firsts in hurling the javelin and running of the low hurdles had enabled Lakeview to keep abreast of them. The meet narrowed down to two events and since Lake- view had no men capable of capturing second or third in addi- tion to winning, it was necessary to win both of the remaining firsts to win the meet. Should Fairhaven win only one of the firsts, the pointsshe would receive in the other event would enable her to win. 63 Only the 220 and the miie-run remained on the program. The crack runner, Winters, was entered in both events to rep- resent Fairhaven and it was unthought of that he could be de- feated. The Fairhaven backers were extremely confident that the meet was won. The Lakeview coach called on his strategy in the hope of annexing the two precious firsts. Chuck, get out there and win! Morton. I want you to set the pace the first hundred yards or so. Youtll be tired out, but it may cause Winters to use up his surplus and let Chuck win. Jerry was astounded. Coach was putting in Green and Morton and letting him, a senior, sit on the bench even though he was the fastest of the three. The tension snapped. Coach! What of me? he demanded. ttListen, we can't enter a man who hasnit the stamina to keep up a gruelling pace in the stretch. Youive shown yel- low a dozen times, and I donit want the people to know that a Lakeview runner is yellow. Scorn fairly radiated from the coach, and Jerry shrank before its terrible accusation. A dormant force awoke within him. HCoach, Iim not yellow! Iill prove it! If you put me in this race and I lose, you can do whatever you want with me. But please, Coach, for the school, let me run. The coachis countenance never softened :1 bit, but he seemed to ponder Jerryts declaration. ttWell, if you run your level best all the way, I can't ask more, but if you donit draw on some surplus and run even better than youire able, you will lose. t isnlt a personal matter, Jerry. It is not my right to put in a man who wont run with every atom of his force, When I have one who will do just that. It is because I know you have the ability. Now get out there and win. Think of your dad, and the old school, boy! Fight! Joyfully, with determination gripping him, Jerry told Mor- ton of the coachls change of plans. He hurried to take his place at the chalk line, waiting for the gun with the rest of the. runners. With the crack of the gun, the four runners were off and quickly settled into the sprinter's stride. For nearkly a hundred 64 yards they ran abreast, but the pace began to tell on the stride 0f the second Fairhaven runner and he fell two or three strides behind. Then Chuck, who was running a splendid race, could be seen to drop into the flying leadersy van. Jerry and Winters were running, step for step, each feeling the others worth. Jerry felt the urge to quit surge through his tired body, and in vain he tried to increase the pace. XVinters glanced across at Jerry in surprise and wonder at finding himself unable to shake 01? his opponent. The pace was a terrific one and both runners were breathing hard. The tape was only a few yards away, and Jerry, thinking only of his schooFs success, ran on in a desperate spurt. With a prayer on his lips, he sprang at the tape and even as he did so Winters launched himself similarly, but it was Jerryts chest that broke the tape. The hitherto unbeatable Winters was defeated, and Jerry had won one of the precious firsts. Several members of the team carried Jerry to Lakeviewts dugout on their shoulders, overjoyed at his wonderful run. Chuck had failed to place, being nosed out at the tape by the second Fairhaven runner. So the mile-run would decide the meet. Perhaps it was the psychological advantage Jerry had ob- tained by overcoming his weakness, or perhaps it was because Winters was shocked at his first defeat, but at any rate, a few moments later, Jerry handily ran the mile-run, leading Win- ters by three yards, and winning the meet for Lakeview High. Two middle-aged men were engaged in conversation in the lobby of a hotel, and they seemed to be in excellent spirits. After a second observation you might recognize one of the men to be the Lakevier coach. ttJack, you surely did guess right. When I told Jerry he was yellow, he proved himself. It was hard to call the son of as fine a friend as you are yellow. But everything worked for the best, ehiw VVib WW n5 HUVI'W. 1.3! 1 L3 kl I l 1 'LI l x Dobby: When can I have a date?
