H. S. have been asking for a form of govern- ment in which they would directly help to make and execute the laws. After much hard work and conscientious effort on the part of those appointed to formulate some plan of student government this dream has finally materialized. As is the case with any innovation, there were many objectors to the system offered. Those in favor of the plan, however, greatly outnumbered the objectors and soon many of these were appeased or at least ceased to object so emphatically. Everyone appreciates the fact that this was a great step in advancement and we are glad that 22 has had the opportunity of furthering such a project. The subsequent classes will be able to carry out in detail the system merely begun, and we wish them success in their work. What student has not benefited by the advantages of our library? There is hardly a person in the whole school who has not profited by it, for there one can easily and quickly find just the right thing. It seems unbelievable that we were ever able to get along without this very important and necessary part of the school. During the past year we have added to our collection new books, which are all classified and looked after in such a way that we are justly proud of our library. But do we often think how all this came about? We must not forget our friend Mrs. Neumann, who was willing to take care of it so that we might have access to the books which we so often find necessary during our high school life. Three cheers for Mrs. Neumann! The Bond Issue and the New High School were the topics of the day when we were Freshmen. As such we had great visions of ourselves enjoying the advantages of a beautiful new high school building. Much to the disappointment of all, these proved to be only day dreams, for as Seniors we are now leaving the same old M. H. S. which we entered four long years ago. Each year conditions have become a little worse, and if those who wish the advantages of a high school education are to be properly taken care of something will have to be done very soon. Our dreams at one time seemed near fulfillment when we heard with excitement that a site for a new building had been chosen. Our hopes dropped to the depths again when nothing came of it, as was to be expected. But we are still as hopeful as when we were Freshies. Perhaps some day we may be influential in enabling Mansfield to boast of a High School perfect in every sense of the word. This has been a year in which many new things have happened. Among other things was the organization of clubs, which is another advancement that has come to old M. H. S. These clubs were of such varied character that everyone was able to find one in which he was especially interested. Those who belonged to these clubs and in their programs know that this new venture has been interesting as well as educational, and certainly a complete success. The Staff wishes to thank Mr. Whitehouse, who has so kindly given us advice and helped us at all times. We owe special thanks to Miss McClure, without whom we should often have bsen lost. She was never too busy to look after us and see that we kept going in the right direction. We are also grateful to Miss Patterson for the val- uable assistance which she gave us, and to all the teachers who have in any way helped us to publish this Annual. It would seem that the busiest people are the most willmg to help, and the most capable. This is especially true of Raymond Winters, to whom much of the success of the art department is due. It was only necessary to ask Ray- mond and the thing was done most willingly and in the best possible way. Donald Speiser also should receive credit for the work which he has done, for a glance at the Athletic headings will prove his skill. Last, but by no means least, we thank Ruth Miller, who has made very fine drawings, among which are the class headings. We indeed appreciate and thank all who have contributed in any way toward the success of this Annual. H. H. HELTER— Superintendent of every school — M. H. S. gladly falls under his rule. FRANK WHITEHOUSE— Kindly, patient, steadfast, true, • Our Principal works his problems through. FACULTY Senior Class Poem Since first we came to M. H. S. Four busy years have sped ; We ' ve had a share of happiness Where work or play has led. At everything we undertook We worked with ready zest, Nor was there aught that we foresook, So now we lead the rest. But now we leave these dear old halls, No more we ' ll hurry through; We follow where Ambition calls, Our class — our Twenty-two. So in the mem ' ry book of Fame Let ' s keep our record true, And blaze as victor in Life ' s game The name of Twenty-two. — Josephine Whittier. 16 ' l H i H I ' l ' ' hf 1 Senior Class Officers ALBERT BENSON President MARIE BEER Vice President BERTHA SCHAFER Secretary ROBERT BEARD Treasurer RUSSELL CLINE Sergeant-at-Arms A m „MM ,ii.iiiil|lf|li|.i.r I I ' ,,l,|],l , , MM I, I I II 17 Marjorie McLean Marj Operetta (2), Social Editor, Annual (4) We all agree that she is one of ' 22 ' s prettiest and most charming young ladies. She always finds time to study, although she has a great interest in Wittenburg. Her personality has won for her many friends. If you are not one of them, get acquainted, you ' re missing something. Wilbur Remy Web Junior Play (3), Senior Play (4), Assistant Business Manager, Annual (3), Business Man- ager, Annual (4), Hi-Y (4), General Council (4), Automobile Club. Here ' s a fellow you ought to meet if you don ' t know him already. Has lots of business ability and the power to make and keep friends. Needless to say, Web has no need of a hair curler. Helen Schroek Pep Operetta (2), Glee Club (3) (4), Executive Committee of Music Club (3) (4), Executive Committee, Pi ano Department (4), Piano Club (4). Our Pep, our Pep. We ' ve had her for four years and M. H. S. hates to lose her, for Pep puts life into every gathering. We all feel like Fighting the Team Across the Field, when Helen strikes the chords. NiHL Crider Crider Senior Pin and Ring Com. (4), Hi-Y (4), Commercial Club. Stop ! Look ! There goes one of our tine looking young men of ' 22. Nihl is by no means a woman hater. His greatest desire is for Pep, while his ambition is to become an executive of the U. S. A neat appearance is his dominating characteristic and his chief pastime is dancing. Kathryn Martin Kay Junior-Senior Reception Committee, Blue Tri. (3) (4), Pin and Ring Com., Literary Editor, Annual (4), Teachers ' Club. One of the sweetest girls in our class with her dimples always in evidence. We under- stand that she spends most of her time with Rowe boats. Kay is so quiet and speaks in such a low tone of voice that we would never know she was present. But her Annual work is to be commended. 18 Donna Morris Blue Triangle (4), Debating Society (4), Checker and Chess (4), Costume Designing (4), Glee Club (4). Did anyone ever see Donna without a smile? No, never! She is always cheerful and a line companion to all who know her; those who don ' t know her, don ' t know what they are missing. Thelma Leech Albert Benson Al Hi-Y (4), General Council (4), Senior Presi- dent (4), Pin and Ring Com., Commercial Club. Albert has had the responsibility of leading us through our Senior year, and he deserves much credit for the way in which he has done it. He is very well liked by all his classmates. Leechy Girls ' Glee Club (1), Costume Designing. She has contributed much to the success of the social career of the Senior Class year. Leechy is an industrious worker and a good stu- dent. She has a winning personality, the Senior Class President seems to think. We wonder how many letters she receives from Middletown. Charles Young Chuck Hi-Y (2) (3) (4), Junior Play (3), Hypho Staff (4), Engineering Club. Chuck is a loyal champion of M. H. S. and all his efforts are directed toward the good of his class. He has many friends and a pref- erence for a certain Senior girl — Thelma by name. He takes care of the Alumni notes in the Hypho. Thelma Shupp Skuppey Glee Club (2) (3) (4), Operetta (2), Girls ' Trio (3), Blue Triangle Club (3) (4). She is a good student and prominent in musical circles. Is always happy and proves a good companion. Ask Charlie. He knows. How surprised we would be if she should ever be unable to recite when called upon. And what is a crowd without Shuppey? 19 Ross Eyekly General Council (4), Junior and Senior Commercial Club. Ross is one of our Seniors who has a posi- tion ready for him when he graduates, and we know that he will be sure to succeed. He is quite popular with the girls, and no wonder, for Ross ' s personality makes him many friends. Besides this he is a fine dancer and a good sport. Helen Keating Keats Class Sceretary (2), Operetta (2), Blue Tri- angle (3) (4), Hyphonerian Staff (2) (3) (4), Junior Play (3) (4), Secretary of Athle tic Association (3), Secretary of General Council (4). Executive Committee of Music Dept. Its ' no wonder that Keats is forced to proclaim from the auditorium stage that she just must lie down, for she is on the go all the time in some activity or another. Keats has many interests but her hobby is athletics or athletes. Miriam Thoma Literary Club. One of 22 ' s quiet and studious girls is Miriam. In the classroom she looms up as one of our honor students. Out of the classroom she always enjoys a good time and never lacks lots of M. H. S. pep. HuKST Anderson Lillian Walters Costume Designing. Another one of the bobbed hair group. Lil- lian receives many notes, chews gum and en- joys life in general without worrying over her lessons. And where we see Lillian there is always a certain dark-haired young man, but we dare not tell any more. One can always tell wlien she is amused by her merry eyes. Pres. Student Council, Hi-Y. (3) (4), De- bate (3) (4), Speaking Contest at Cleveland, first prize. Hurst has successfully held the highest office IhaL M. H. S. could bestow. President of the Siudcnt Council. He represented Mansfield High in an Extempore Speaking Contest at Reserve and brought back the cup. Hurst seems to be especially interested in English Poetry, particularly, Keats. 20 Majorie Fisher Marj. .. Pin and Ring Committee (4), Operetta (4), Costume Designing Club. Marjorie is one of the most popular of our commercial students, and we are sure she will be missed at M. H. S. next year. She is quite fond of athletics — also athletes. But alas ! her thoughts are at Miami. Gaylord Herring This is the first year that Gaylord has been a member of our class, as he came back this year after being out awhile. His time out of school is spent at a drug store, nor is it time wasted, for some day he will be a leading druggist in Mansfield. Laurabelle Davis Speaking of Snobs; Laurabelle is one of the least snobbish girls we know. Wherever you see her you are sure to see a smile, for she believes that a smile is better than a frown any day. Stewart Knarr Stew Student Council, M Association (3) (4), Treasurer (3), Basketball (2) (3) (4), Foot- ball (2) (3) (4). Stew and athletics are synonymous terms in M. H. S. On the gridiron, on the basket- ball fioor, yes, and even as Athletic Editor of the Annual, we find Knarr. Every rooter in high school means it when he yells, Knarr, Rah! Knarr, Rah! Rah! Rah! Knarr, and Stew deserves every yell he gets. Katherine Arnold Katherine is one of the sweetest girls in old M. H. S. Why should she not be? Her hobby is weighing candy at the five and ten cent store. One of her outstanding character- istics is her love for fun; we are sure that no one could be glum or unhappy when in her soJctv. 21 Robert Beard Bob Treasurer (4), Pin and Ring Committee (4). Bob ' never seems to have a care in the world except as Class Treasurer. But when he does get into trouble, we think Frances per- fectly capable of helping him out. We dread to think what ' 22 would be without Bob. We can ' t imagine him with a frown. Maurine Loiselle Blue Triangle (3) (4), Invitation and Card Committee (4). Maurine does not believe in letting French Verbs or Latin Grammar keep her from having a good time. We hardly ever see her frown except at test time, and then — most anyone does. Her very frowns are sweeter far, Than smiles of other people are. Frances Gulp Piano Club, Blue Triangle, Glee Club (4), Debate (3). She is a good student and a loyal rooter of M. H. S. She is visited quite often by a member of the Alumni. The class wishes you all success. Short but Sweet. Frances Shannon Shamrock Blue Triangle (4), Costume and Design Club (4), Operetta (2). Frances believes it ' s best to smile, smi ' ., smile, whether to show her dimples or just be- cause she ' s bubbling over with fun, we couldn ' t say. Frances showed her ability while she served on the Senior Decorating Committee. Carlton Guthrie Red Orchestra (1) (2). Football (3) (4), Basket- ball (3) (4). Red has a habit of collecting nicknames and will answer to any of the fololwing : Red, McGuff, Kalsomine, Gravy. Thinks seldom, but when he does, his thoughts turn to the Alumni. His athletic ability has won him much fame. 22 Josephine Cook Jo Dramatic Club (4). One who knows how to study, but who fre- quently enjoys a good picture show. And we ' ve never seen Jo unhappy. It is whisp- ered that she has some very good friends among the Senior boys. Russell Cline Bus Basketball (2) (3) (4), Football (3) (4), (Capt. 4), M Association (3) (4). Bus is known by everyone. He is very well liked and has many fine qualities. Is an all-round athlete and rather favors a Junior girl. M. H. S. will miss him, for he has done much for its success along athletic lines. Margaret Nolan Peg Nurses Club (4). A classmate who recently joined the group of bobbed hair beauties. She believes in taking life easy, but manages to keep a high standing in her classes. This lass has a winning way all her own, which has endeared her to her many friends. Robert Cunningham Bob Mandolin Club (3) (4), Meotomo Council (4), First Orchestra (4), Commercial Club (4). Here is Bob, who thinks twice before he speaks. He is quiet, but admired by many friends. He is interested in music and is often seen with a certain girl. Mary Frey Chairman Dramatic Club, Blue Triangle (3) (4). Mary has a great store of knowledge, which she always makes use of at the best time. A girl who is wide-awake and observant of what goes on around her, and when she tells of birds, flowers and trees she awakens an interest in nature in all of us. 23 Eunice Dickerson What girl in High School hasn ' t envied Eunice in her knack of hair-dressing? She is very studious, but one will always find her ready for a good time. Pretty? We rather think so. And everyone has been curious about the pin she has been wearing. Donald Borchardt Don Glee Club (3), Junior Play (3), Operetta (3). Don is well supplied with jokes and enjoys making people laugh at the most inopportune times. He ' s a good scout and well liked by his associates. However, it has never been feared that he will turn gray from overwork. The only time he appears serious is when he is asleep. Sarah Bishop Glee Club, Commercial Club (4). Sarah still ends her name with an H, but she ' s just as modern other ways, as if she spelled it Sara. Lessons never bother her, for she ' s able to recite without studying. Full of life and never without a ready answer. She ' d rather talk than . ViRQiL Taylor Junior and Senior Commercial Club (4). Who is that tall, good-natured Senior over there, talking to the crowd of girls? Why, that ' s Virgil Taylor indulging in his favorite sport. A good student. Rhea Mitchell Teachers ' Club (4). Rhea is a girl who ' s always looking for some fun. Can make very clever remarks, and alas! sarcastic ones also. But this is just another proof of her wit, and anyhow, who could be offended since Rhea ' s good-natured grin takes all the edge from her words? 24 Florence Cairns Cairnsie Commercial Club. The little girl with the big heart and bright smile, who is always to be seen with Shrimp. Somehow, we can ' t h Ip liking Florence. Robert Eggerton Bob Spring Football (3), Wireless Club (4). Here ' s one of the most cheerful and con- genial fellows in M. H. S. If circumstances had permitted, Bob would have made a great football player this year. A better-liked fellow cannot be found. Fern Pittenger Blue Triangle (3) (4), Mandolin Club (3). A pretty, lovable little miss who has just loads of friends. If you don ' t know Fern, you ' d better get acquainted, for she is one you ' ll like. Because she is quiet, does not mean she hasn ' t enthusiasm. Like a quiet lake, unruffled by the wind. George Leistensnider Licey Junior Play (3), Radio Club (4). As a physicist, George ranks with Galileo and Archimedes, while his electrical ability is unsurpassed. The fifth hour American His- tory Class has many times enjoyed George ' s references to personal acquaintances. He will never be forgotten by those who knew him. WiLMA HouT Teachers ' Club (4), Glee Club (4). We wouldn ' t expect to see Wilma without her chatter and cheery smile. But she no doubt gets practice in this by coaxing her Ford along. We have noticed that a ring which she wears is entirely too large to belong to a girl. But we can ' t blame the young man. 25 Charles Shutt Did you hear that under-tone comment in the classroom? That was Charles. He is a jolly good fellow, always willing to do a favor for the fun. He can always be counted on to furnish amusement. Marie Beer Blue Triangle (3) (4). Commercial Club (4). Vice President (4), Pin and Ring Com. (4). Marie is the real thing — one hundred per cent loyalty and sincerity. We sometimes wonder if she is as demure a Priscilla as she appears. How about, it Marie? Margie Feeney Marge Blue Triangle (3) (4), Girls ' Basketball (4), Student Council (4), Chairman Card and Invitation Com. (4), Nature Club (4). If you ever have the blues — just talk to Marge for a minute; she ' ll drive them away and make you laugh before you realize it. Full of pep and we ' ll all agree she ' s some yell leader. She ' s full of life — she ' s full of fun. Maky Antrk ' an Mary is our sunshine girl, and a true-blue supporter of M. H. S. She is capable and good-natured at all times. Did some one say, Cook? M-m, boy! William Bloor Hi-Y (3) (4), Basketball (3) (4), Hypho Staff (4), Annual Staff (4), General Council (4), M Association (3) (4). Bill is not only a good student, but also one of our star basketball players. He is very popular with the fellows, but is seldom seen in company with a member of the opposite sex. 26 Thelma Ritchie Blue Triangle (3) (4), Costume Designing Club. Our enchanting Cinderella ! Thelma ' s cheery disposition could in itself drive away anyone ' s gloom, and her winning way easily summon the prince. Thelma has the ability to make friends and keep them. Russell Phipps Bus Meotomo Council (4). Bus is a mathematical wizard, who may be favorably compared to his esteemed fellow classman, Ed. Fisher. He is an enthusiast in Scout work, and his cheerful personality has won him many friends. Faye Shively Although she isn ' t as tall as some people, she ' s every bit as peppy and loyal, too. Faye ' s sense of humor sometimes escapes her control and starts a case of giggles, but she ' s just as adorable giggling as sober. Short but sweet. Ned Schocker Rifle Club. If you are especially gloomy, talk to Ned and you will soon be laughing, for he is hap- piest when playing a joke or making some one laugh. It is impossible not to like Ned, and, of course, he has many friends. Helen Schuler Hank A real good student, whose great ambition is to be a private secretary. Her heart is at Ohio Northern, and you should see the letters she receives from him. Her hobby is dancing. 27 Robert Mink Bob played a good game at guard during the football season until injuries prevented him from participation in the sport. No member of the class will forget Bob Mink ' s cheery disposition and his broad grin. The embodi- ment of good humor. Mildred Miller Blue Triangle (3) (4), Glee Club (3) (4). Here ' s an energetic booster of M. H. S. who is always on the job. Woe to the person who dares to disagree with Midge, because her powers of persuasive discourse are great. Ever ready for a good time and loves outdoor sports and dancing. Josephine Whittier Blue Triangle (3) (4), Costume Designing. Many people who are not well acquainted with Jo stand some- what in awe of her wit ; but those who know her respect and admire her. Inclined to keep her own affairs to herself — we never did find out about that Delaware trip. John Pearce Commercial Club. Although John does things quietly, he gets there just the same, however. He does not devote all his time to studies and school affairs, as one can usually find him at the Opera House. Perhaps he is not as well known as some, but those who are his special friends are glad of his friendship. Dorothy Miller Cabbage is the sweetest vegetable on the market to her. Can you guess it? She is already a business woman, having handled business very successfully for the Reed Store. Another ambitious girl. 28 Carlos Brewer Orchestra (3) (4). When Carlos begins to argue, you might as well give in, for you can ' t change his mind, if he has already made it up. He doesn ' t let his lessons stand in the way of anything else he wishes to do. Is quite a wireless shark ! Berdelle Bost Blue Triangle (3), Commercial Club. Berdelle has been with us only a short time, but during this time she has won many friends. Ohio is dry, but Berdelle likes the brewery. A big case ! Doris Kallmerten Doris is just the opposite of her friend Fern. She is never in a hurry, and does not lose much sleep over her school work. Dancing is her hobby. Florence Hall Blue Triangle (3) (4), Commercial Club. Florence belongs to the small number of girls who do not chatter all of the time. When she does speak, you can depend upon it, that she has something worth while to say. Her charming personality has won for her many friends. Arthur Riggs Meotomo Council (4), Engineering Club. One of ' 22 ' s really dignified Seniors, yet one who is always ready for some fun. Studies hard and never boasts of his grades. A good dependable friend. Beneath his dignity, the best of fellows. 29 Maky Scott Great Scott Another one of our Mary ' s, who is always ready for a good time. She is a booster in school activities, but is certainly not a book worm. Her quiet manner has won for her many friends among M. H. S. students, who identify her by her sparkling eyes and curly locks. Harold Dysart Wireless Club. Perhaps many boys are quiet because they don ' t have the chance to talk, but Harold be- lieves that actions speak louder than words. You could never find him sitting around as if he had nothing to do, for few are as industri- ous as Harold. We know that he will be suc- cessful in anything he does, an d we wish him luck. Mildred DeWitt Mickey Girls ' Glee Club. Never try to play a joke on Mildred, for as sure as you do you ' ll get the worst of the bargain in the end. Besides her jovial disposition, Mildred possesses a very good voice, as was shown by her solo work in the Glee Club. William Hahn Bill Football (3) (4), Second Orchestra (3), Automobile Club. Bill, although quiet and seldom heard from in the classroom, is nevertheless a good fellow and a loyal follower of ' 22. Has am- bition in the athletic field, although injuries kept him out of the football. Miriam Johnson Blue Triangle (3) (4), Commercial Club. A girl who does not believe in tampering with the complexion God has given her, but allows them to remain on the surface. A saucy, witty little girl. 30 Mabel Miller Junior Play, General Council, Blue Triangle, Hypho. She isn ' t veiy big, but it ' s the quality that counts. We think that a sweeter girl can ' t be found — and so thinks some one else. She has a mind of her own, but we promise not to tell who owns her heart. Raymond Winters Class President (2), Athletic Manager (4), Hvpho (3), Pin and Ring Committee (4), Hi-Y (4), Mandolin Club (2) (3) (4), Gen- eral Council (4), Architectural Club (4). If any one member of ' 22 deserves special recognition this is it. His work for his class and his school has been untiring, even when he was sick. For further information concerning Raymond, see M. M. Margaret LeBerth Peggy ' Class Secretarv (3) ' Play. , Junior Play, Editor-in-Chief, Annual, Senior Blue Triangle, General Council. Peggy, pretty Peggy! People who do not know our editor-in- chief think she is reserved and dignified — but did you ever hear her giggle? She has many and varied interests, especially in Cleveland. An outstanding member of ' 22. John Condrin Mansfield School News. John has recently taken up journalism as a side line and is now helping edit the Mansfield News. He takes a great interest in athletics and enjoys a good time. Among other things, he has a good eye for beauty. Jack Thorne Manager (I), Student Council, Hi-Y (2) (3) (4), Annual Staff. No one ever needs to say — Jack, be nimble, Jack, be quick, for Thome ' s always on the job and never jumps over any task assigned to a manager. Jack has one of the keenest wits in the class. 31 Edward Watkins Eddie Football, Hi-Y (4), Junior Play, Senior Play, Engineering Club. Just why Eddie should be chosen to repre- sent The Class Misfortunes is difficult to say, unless it was simply to show how really unfortunate 22 would have been without him. Edward is a loyal supporter of high school activities and has played a real part in high school life. Elizabeth Witter Vice-President (3), Student Council, Glee Club (3) (4), Blue Triangle, Operetta, Social Welfare Club. Elizabeth is a typical high school girl — inter- ested in studies, athletics, music, good times, and in fact everything worth while in M. H. S. A truly representative president for the Blue Triangle. ■ Vallie Cramer Girls ' Glee Club (3) (4), Costume and Designing Club. Vallie is a loyal student of M. H. S. She is always in for a good time. And who hasn ' t noticed her pretty eyes and sweet smile? Is usually seen working on her Biology notebook or writing letters. She says the letters are to her mother, but — well, we have our doubts. Mildred Conley Connie Blue Triangle, Girls ' Glee Club, Costume Designing Club. Not Phoebe of the Ringlets, but Connie of the Curls. Mildred is one of ' 22 ' s most popular girls because of her pleasing person- ality and lovable disposition. Connie also puts great faith in being a good scout. Ronald Henderson Ronie Orchestra. Music Class (1), Orchestra (2), Orchestra, Spring Football (3), Orchestra, Checker and Chess Club, Rifle Club, Meotomo CouncU. Always full of pep, never missing the chance to tease a girl — is Ronie. He has always been an ardent worker in the interests of M. H. S., especially in the orchestras. So we ' ll trust to him to put our projects across. He is decidedly in favor of curly-headed girls. 32 Chester Linham Ruth Rowlands Ruthie ' Orchestra (1) (2), Glee Club (3), Treasurer (2), Hi-Y (3) (4), Hypho Business Manager (3), Student Council (4), Operetta (2). News- paper Club (4), Athletic Manager (3), M Association (4). Chet has held many responsible positions during his four years in M. H. S. and has been interested in almost every activity. Although not mentioned in his list of activities, the Music Executive Committee holds Chefs in- terest a good part of the time. Hazel Manner Shrimp Mandolin Club (2) (4), Blue Triangle (3) (4), Senior Play (4 and Ring Committee, Teachers ' Club. Blue Triangle (3) (4), Glee Club (3) (4), Piano Club (3). Make Ruth laugh just to see those pretty dimples. Popular among her classmates, espe- cially the boys. Sh e particularly favors a Senior lad. Her lessons are not her greatest worry. She always looks on the bright side of hfe. Pin Shrimp is rather quiet, but she is a true friend to all who know her, and a girl whom we all admire. Hazel knows how to flavor hard study with a good time and consequently enjoys high school life to the utmost. Jeanette Henkel Jean Hyphonerian (1) (2) (3) (4), Hypho Editor (4), Annual (4), Glee Club (3) (4), Blue Tri- angle (3) (4). Debate (4), Senior Play, Treas- urer (1). Jean is one of the busiest girls in our class, but in spite of her many duties, always finds an opportunity to have a good time. The ability she has shown as editor of the Hypho indicates a successful future in the South American Mission Fields. Lloyd Lister Kissy Hi-Y (3) (4), Auto Club (4), Senior Play (4). Kissy can best be described by a reference to his nickname; one reason why he is so popular with the opposite sex. Undoubtedly, we will sometime find him as General Man- ager of the Mansfield Dry Goods Company. He is a hard worker and has always loyally supported both school and class. 33 Harold Bruce Hi-Y (3) (4), Athletic Manager (3), Basket- ball (3) (4), Football (4). Hyphonerian (4), Junior Play (3), Senior Play (4), General Council, M Association (3) (4)- Bruce is certainly an all-round fellow and is interested in all the worth-while school activi- ties. Whether you meet Bruce in the school room, on the football field or on the basketball floor, you realize that you ' ve met a real fellow. Bruce likes to hear and tell a good joke. He was the hero of the Junior Play. A typical high school fellow of the highest type. LuciLE HouT Genera! Blue Triangle Club (3) (4), Senior Play, Teachers ' Club. One of our charming classmates who is the possessor of many friends and a sweet person- ality, and who does not like to hear her giggle? She is a welcome addition to any crowd. For information, ask Bruce. We are assured of the success of the Senior Play with Lu as our delightful heroine. Russell Gibson Hoot Hi-Y (3) (4). Basketball (3) (4), Football (3) (4). Bus Hoots at the idea of not having a good time while in school, but does not consider that everything. Gibson takes an active in- terest in all forms of athletics. Furthermore, you ' ll tind Bus is right at hand to help whenever you ' re in trouble. Geraldine Gilbert Gerry Operetta (2), Blue Triangle (3) (4), Photo Editor, Annual. Costume and Designing.

Reginald Jenney Reg Hi-Y (3) (4), Football (4), Basketball (4), M Association (4). Bashful and blushing ! Well, you don ' t know Reg if you would characterize him so. Jenney put up a good fight during the football season and stuck right by the team. A good fellow. 34 Mildred McCally Mickey Junior Play (3), Hypho (4), General Council (4), Blue Triangle (3) (4), Teachers ' Club (4). Mickey never neglects her lessons and keeps up with outside activities as well. Who is not acquainted with her sweet smile and winning way? We ' ll say she ' s pretty. She can certainly handle a Paige well, and has also had some experience with a Studebaker. Harold Sayles Fat Operetta (2), Piano Club (4), Religious Leaders ' Club (4). Good natured and full of fun describes Fat correctly. He has also been a great help in the social activities of the Senior Class year. He is most usually found at the Opera House and easily identified by his usual smile. For further information, go to Mickey. ISABELLE SpOHN Isabelle always appears dignified. And, judging from her sweet smile, which she has for everyone, we know that she must have a sweet disposition, as well as a winning personality. Boys are the least of her worries, and consequently she puts all her heart and time in her work and promotion of M. H. S. interests. Wayne Hursh Mandolin Club, Rifle Club, Checker and Chess Club. Although rather a quiet lad, he is a mighty dependable friend. Wayne reasons that ac- tions speak louder than words, so does not boast of his deeds. A loyal booster of M. H. S.

Admired by all the girls, especially Juniors. Helen Sommers Cleo Glee Club (3) (4), Costume and Designing Club. She lives up to the saying, Variety, is the spice of hfe. Although Helen especially favors a Reserve lad, wherever there is a good time, Helen is always present. She is over- flowing with pep and has many friends. 36 William Ingram Bill Automobile Club. Says little, but thinks much. He is a quiet, good-natured fellow, admired by all. The girls are the least of his worries. But a man ' s a man for a ' that. Evelyn Bakp:k Ebbie Blue Triangle (3) (4), Costume and Designing, Social Service Club.

At DEN Heath Hyphonerian (4). Hi-Y (4). Senior Pin and Ring Committee, Basketball (4), Commercial Club. Aldcn frowns quite frequently, but he is not as cross as he looks. Although he is kept quite busy at school, he is always on the job at the checking booth at Schuler ' s. Of course, there is no need to say he is not a loyal backer of ' 22. 37 Mary Chile Is it any wonder that Mary is one of the most popular girls in our class? She has a smile for everyone, and is always ready to help any one out of trouble. An all-around good sport. Anton Procker Teachers Club. Anton is a fellow who is able to look over many of our heads, intellectually as well as physically. His achievements are many, and we have yet to find a topic upon which he has no comment. We know Anton will make a fine teacher. A sophistical statesman inebri- ated with the exuberance of his own ver- bosity. SUSANN.AH VOEGELE Social Welfare Club. How quiet she looks, but she is a good example of the saying that looks are deceiving. She is an industrious student and a loyal member of M. H. S., having a large circle of friends. A certain member of the Alumni can testify to her popularity. Naomi Hink Teachers ' Club. She is another quiet member of ' 22, and one who studies. She is always good-natured and has a cheer y smile for every one. Although we have never seen her excited, we are all acquainted with her snapping, dark eyes. Luther Roehner He is one of our good-looking Senior boys, frequently observed before a mirror. But he ' s a jolly good fellow, and has gained many friends in his stay here. He manages to slide through his lessons, while girls claim a great deal of his time and attention. 38 Norman Wolfe Norm Hi-Y, General Council, Manager, M Association. Norm is a friend you can depend on, and when it comes to managing, he can ' t be beat.

Here is an excellent student and a loyal friend. She is always in for athletics and a good time. But we would certainly advise Toby is stay away from summer camp and New York, if these the causes for her growing any taller. Languages are the most of her troubles. M.ARVEL WiEGAND Blue Triangle, Chess and Checker Club, Library Club. If you do not know Marvel, you are missing one of ' 22 s pretty girls.

Helen Ingram Helen is one of our sensible girls, reliable in every respect. She came here last year from Kansas. A good student and a loyal friend. Ralph Bush Commercial Club. Chestnut colored hair, very curly, a dimple in his chin and chewing gum in his mouth — that ' s Bushy. Very industrious with his les- sons when he is not otherwise employed. Even though rather fond of the opposite sex and likes to write notes, his school work is not affected, so we don ' t hold it against Ralph. 39 CoRRiNNE Lawrence Teachers ' Club. To know her is to like her. She is very de- termined and has a strong will. We are sure she will be a very successful teacher. Robert Keith Football (1) (2) (3), Wireless Club.

Association, Checker and Chess Club, Astronomical Club, General Council. Ed. knows more about mathematics than Stonville himself, and we expect great things of him in the future along this line. 41 Ethel Walker Blue Triangle, Art Club. One of our new members, and a valuable asset to ' 22. She is a jolly pal and full of fun. A good student and does not appear to have a thought for the boys — but we may be sur- prised. Karl Fritz Fritz Junior Play (3), Hi-Y Club (3) (4), Pin and Ring Committee (4), Engineering Club (4), Hypho (2). Karl is the kind of a student each class longs to have, and an all-round good fellow. Often finds his friends in the lower classmen. As an extemporaneous speaker, he can ' t be beat. Valuable articles come in small pack- ages. Russell Humbert Bus Automobile Club (4). Here is one of our would-be quiet students, but once he gets started he can talk as much as anyone. He is happy-go-lucky and always willing to do his share, but Bus also manages to give some time to his studies and is sure to make good. Martha Grabosky One of our spunkiest girls. Who enjoys a good joke better than she? In class she is very quiet, but when she is among her in- timates — Oh, Boy! 42 Bertha Schafer Bert Blue Triangle (4), Music Club (2) (3) (4), Costume and Designing Club (4), Hypho (4), Secretary of Class (4), Pin and Ring Committee (4). Bert is always ready to do any one a favor, she is loyal to her friends and con- scientious in her work. She is so sweet that she never needs sugar in her tea. Mary Gerstmeyer Mary has only one little fault (if you call it one), and that is talking in the report room; outside of this terrible sin she is a tip-top student. Helen Smith Smitty Glee Club (3) (4), Blue Triangle (3) (4), Costume Designing. Smitty proves a good friend. She has never been known to get flustered, and walks through our old halls in her stately fashion. She is a conscientious worker and well-liked by all who know her. And how she can dance ! Arvada Zeimke Do you know Arvada? Well, very few do, for, like many others of ' 22, she believes in actions speaking louder than words. Thus, in her quiet way she has always worked for the best interests of the school, and still reserves time for study, but shyness is her great handicap. Frederick (Shea) Jesson General Council (4). Here is one member of our class who has shown very brightly in scholastic circles. Frederick seldom disappoints us in his recita- tions. He has a particularly sweet and sunny disposition. Alice Britton Teachers ' Club (4), Senior News Reporter, Literary Club (2). Here is Sweet Alice. Although she is very studious, Alice is always ready for a good time. She is everybody ' s friend, and ' 22 is justly proud of her. All are lucky who can claim her as a personal friend. 43 Robp:rt Campbell Bob Radio Club (4). Just what would M. H. S. be like without him? Always telling stories and jokes which entertain all. He spends much of his time at the White Way, and we hope that he wins for himself the name of a second Shakespeare or Wally Reid. 22 wishes you the best of luck. Margaret Hoppe One of the good looking girls, for whom our class is noted. Margaret is very studious, with mischievous inclinations. She seems to be quite interested in a certain Scotch Laddie. Marian Keefe We think, and we are sure you will agree with us, that Marian is one of our prettiest girls. She has a charming air of dignity and re- serve, but it is her friendly, loyal nature which brings her many close friends. Frances Jones Frances possesses the common name of Jones, but there is nothing common about her. She is a good student. She has the character- istic Yankee to her speech and is a born New Knglander. Lester McVicar Commercial Club (4) . Lester is another one of our quiet members. Because of this, perhaps few are very well acquainted with him, but Rolol will tell you that he is a good friend. Girls do not bother him, so he is free from the cares which trouble so many members of ' 22. 44 EsTELLA Lemon Junior and Senior Commercial Club. Although Estella is a Lemon, she is a Peach of a friend. A lover of all kinds of sports, and a social welfare worker. Estella loves the yarns of a certain Sailor Boy.

Mischief can be seen in her eye. A loyal rooter of ' 22, whom we will never forget. Ethel Byerly An admirer of a certain species of Bush. Here is one girl who really enjoys her lessons. She has a definite aim and is slowly, but surely, making progress. Arnold Lehnhart Arnie Commercial Club (4). We know that he is handsome, but we won- der how he has managed to keep some charm- ing young lady from charming him. He is not afraid of work, as his lessons show. Rather quiet, but when he talks, he says something. 45 Mary Kolb Here is our pretty blue-eyed Mary, and the rosy cheeks. Mary is seldom anything but merry, and never takes her school work too seriously. A true friend. John Correll Second team; Football, Basketball and Base- ball (1) (2), Class President (3), Vice-Presi- dent, Hi-Y (4), Teachers ' Club (4), Student Council (4), Chairman of Pin and Ring Com. John is a very prominent member o f our class, even though much of his time is taken up with 23. We expect to hear much of him in the future. Mildred Cr. bbe Teachers ' Club. Mildred, with her beautiful hair, reminds us of some one we have seen in the movies. Since we have come to know her she is not at all what her name might imply. Although she is not the most talkative one in the class, she is always able to recite when called upon. Martha Gump A quiet, unassuming girl is Martha, who has a host of friends. Even though her lessons are duly prepared, she never misses a chance for a good time. Devoted, anxious, generous, void of guile. With her whole heart ' s welcome in her smile. Robert Warne Wireless Club (4). We suspect that the height of Bob ' s am- bition is to become a master mechanic. How- ever, we have never known Bob to take life or studying seriously. His motto is that all work and no play makes ' Bob ' a dull boy — and girls are the least of his worries. So good luck, Bob. 46 Lillian Butts Commercial Club (4). Lillian is gifted with gab. Did you ever hear her use an incorrect word. She is very small and quick. It is a joy to hear her recite. Paul Stuff Stuffy Here is Paul, our Mathematician. He is interested, not only in this, but everything. He is an energetic fellow who always does his share. His actions speak louder than words.

Ruthie possesses extraordinary talents, as is shown by her work for the Annual. Ruth is une artiste, in temperament as well. Ruth agrees that she is a girl worth while knowing. 47 Gretchen Peppard Blue Triangle (4), Glee Club (3) (4). A sweet girl graduate, who, though perhaps not so well known as some, is greatly admired by her friends for her sweet disposition. Could you imagine Gr etchen rushing excitedly from classroom to classroom? But what really gives her away when she is embarrassed is her rosy cheeks. Mary Wilkinson Checker and Chess Club, Nurses ' Club (4). Mary is quite jolly, and ' 22 is proud to claim her. Her policy is to say what she thinks, which is as good a trait as any one could wish for. Mary aspires to be a private secretary, and it is the sincere hope of her classmates that this desire is gratified. Avenelle Fields Blue Triangle (3), Art Editor, Annual (4), Junior and Senior Commercial Club. Avenelle showed her capability in managing the art work of the Annual. The Commercial Department claims Avenelle ' s interest and re- ceives her hearty support. When she determines to put a project across it always meets success.

No doubt she will be a very cheerful nurse. Donald Speiser Mandolin Club, General Council, Architectural Club. Here is an industrious student whom every- one admires. What girl doesn ' t envy his dark curly hair? Although he is rather quiet and reserved, he is the kind of a friend we all like to have. Don is very talented, especially along musical and architectural lines. 48 Pearl Barnes Teachers ' Club. Pearl is the girl with those big, pretty, brown eyes. She never lets her lessons bother her too much. She is rather quiet and re- served, therefore she is not known by many, but is liked by all who do know her. Dolores Williams Here is a girl who likes to talk and laugh. She is never gloomy or discouraged, so per- haps that is why Dolores did not become thin during the strenuous years of high school. Since she is witty, we like to hear her talk, for she c::n alwavs chase awav the blues. Ethelyn Mackey Ethelyn came here last year from New Lon- don. She has proved herself to be an excep- tionally good student and we are sure she will be an efficient business woman. Helen Lorow Blue Triangle.

She wants to be a typist, and we are sure she will be successful. Helen Shingleton She is ambitious to become a prominent business woman, and her friends wish her the best of success. More often seen than heard, but interested in all M. H. S. activities. Helen is a speed demon, but don ' t get excited. It ' s only on the typewriter. Faye Cr.aig Commercial Club, Blue Triangle. One of the prettiest members of our class. Who has blacker hair or browner eyes? Pretty is as pretty does, the old saying goes.

She is very studious and a bit reserved. Mary Sheidler Girls ' Glee Club. Mary ' s voice is sometimes heard when she herself cannot be seen.

Olive is a pretty, dainty, charming little lady with a host of friends. Wherever we hear Olive we think of music, for she ' s an accomplished pianist, and Music Editor of the Annual, besides being in the Glee Club. 51 Class History In the year of our Lord 1918, there entered Mansfield High School a certain class great in number and in intellect. In the first year of the sojourn, the sages, teachers, and uppar classmen marveled at this wondrous class. And the class made merry, and established a precedent by holding a certain party, called a Masque Party. In the second year, the number had decreased, but yet was the class mighty. This year, it again established a precedent by organizing the class in the second year of the sojourn. And again it made merry, and held a festival honoring the Christmas season. The third year was now upon this class, and verily, it was a busy year. Again it made merry with a Down on the Farm play, in which Mr. Whitehouse distinguished himslf in the Virginia Reel. Then came the mighty festival, the Junior and Senior Reception, and the excite- ment waxed strong in the halls of the sages, and many were the strange and curious customs observed. And the fourth year came, and the members of this class were great in wisdom — verily they were now the sages, and the third month, they held a great election, like that down in the city. In this year they held frivolous revelries, — the Ball of All Hallow ' s Eve, unto which were bidden all the pupils and their teachers; and the Kid Party, to which none but the Seniors were bidden. And in this year also did Student Government come into being, and lo, it was the beginning of great events, and the Juniors made a feast unto the Seniors, to do them honor. Then many and diverse were the merry makings of this class, until at last there came upon it Commencement, its hour of sadness and of glory, of the ending and the beginning — and they went forth into the wilderness of the many paths. — Kathryn Martin, ' 22. 52 Prophecy, ' 22 It was early one evening in the summer of 1923 that I sat on the front porch of the Mansfield Hig ' h School Teachers ' club-house, reading the newspaper. About me sat some of my colleagues, also reading or discussing the day ' s work in the classrooms of our mammoth high school. All at once my eye caught a headline, — Former Mansfield Man Highly Honored. Frederick S. Jesson, scientist and author, formerly of Mansfield has been pro- claimed the greatest living (?) evolutionist. He was assisted in research work by Anton Procker, also of Mansfield. I showed the article to several of my friends, remarking, I always knew Fred- erick would achieve something. I was one of his teachers in school. He graduated in the famous class of ' 22. ' 22, mused Miss Blank, how well I remember that class. I wonder where its members are now. There were many wonderful pupils in that class. I wonder — I began, then suddenly I had an idea, Why! Miss Blank, this is a wonderful opportunity! You know we have had a great curiosity concerning the new spiritualist, Mme. Hooeliffski — this will give us an excuse for consulting her, and will perhaps enable us to find out where the old class is scattered. Suppose we go to her this evening. Miss Blank fell in at once with the suggestion, and we went to the I ' ooms of Mme. Hooeliffski. We were ushered into a large, dim room, its only furnishings being a table, some chairs and a large crystal globe. The seance began immediately. As we gazed into the globe, concentrating with all our power, Mme. related to us the following: Ah — the mist rises — I see a room — it is a court-room — the judge, Martha Gray, is weary — evidently many and diverse cases are being tried. In the spectator ' s seat sits a bright-haired young man, with an amused look on his face. It is Hurst Anderson, most famous of lawyers, come to visit his old friends, and to take a much needed vaca- tion. Beside him sits his wife, formerly Jeannette Henkel, whom he has just won from her career as a missionary, and who is a great help to him. The first case is for making illegal liquor. The defendant is Carlos Brewer. He pleaded not guilty, saying that a mistake was made, and that Brewer is his name and not his occupation. He is acquitted and leaves the court-room with his wife, formerly Berdelle Bost. The next case is the case of Gaylord Herring vs. James Reinhardt. The plaintiff. Herring, claims that the defendant called him a poor fish, and made slighting remarks about his character. The case is dismissed, as the two parties settle their differences. The picture changes—now is shown a great theater in New York just before the curtain goes up on the new play, Divorce. A merry party is entering one of the boxes — the hostess is Elizabeth Witter, the Countess de Nitovitch, former society butter- fly, who made a noble marriage. In the party are the Count, Norman Wolfe, Wall street financier, and his charming wife, formerly Helen McKinley, whom he has just persuaded to give up her tearoom in Greenwich Village; Helen Keating, newly elected governor of Ohio, in New York on business; Honorable Albert Benson, American Am- bassador to France, and rising star in the diplomatic world, now home on government business; Helen Schroerskovitch, resting from her arduous concert tour of the country, and Karl Fritz, prominent dramatic critic and satirist. The producer of the play stops to chat a moment with the party. He is Paul Old, most successful of producers. In another box sits Josephine Whittier, author of the play, who is said to have drawn the story from her own life. Several of her friends are around her — Mr. Raymond Winters and Mrs. Mabel Miller Winters, just back from 53 their honeymoon in Europe, where Raymond studied architecture; Donald Speiser, who has taken his place as the successor of Heifitz Kreisler. At last the curtain goes up. In the cast of the play are many familiar faces. Mildred McCally is seen as the beautiful, but misunderstood heroine; Everett Crile as the deep, dark villain; and with Harold Sayles as the dashing young hero. Between the acts a young man comes out on the stage to speak in behalf of the Salvation Army. It is Luther Roehner, who grew weary of the bright lights and turned to more serious matters. It is said that Katherine Arnold, Salvation Katherine, had something to do with his conversion. After the curtain has gone down on the last act, the people emerge from the theater to step into taxis bearing the name, Snodgres Taxi Lines. Yes, Russell, the interesting bachelor, has become the taxi king of the country. Russell Phipps, Arthur Riggs and John Pearce are his best chauffeurs, they having learned this motto of, The longest way ' round is the shortest way to wealth. The theatergoers now enter one of the most popular cabarets of the season. The cabaret is managed by Edward Watkins, and the leading attraction is the dancing of Gertrude Herbrand. Another very popular act is that of Charles Young and his Dancing Dolls — Helen Sommers, Arvada Zemke, Dorothy Miller, Isabelle Spohn, Josephine Cook and Lillian Butts. His wife, Thelma Shupp, is contemplating divorce proceedings because of the act. Her lawyer is Donald Borchardt, of Borchardt and Beard. Robert Beard, the younger member, is famous for having won the suit of Martha Grabosky vs. Martha Gump, for the plaintiff. Miss Grabosky charged Miss Gump with alienating the affections of William Ingram. The medium closed her eyes for a second, then resumed: I see a famous winter resort in Florida. In front of the great hotel, managed by Robert Eggerton, stands a group of the social celebrities. Mrs. Barbara Symthe Lehnhart, young divorcee, Carl- ton Guthrie, banana king, Reginald Jenney, railroad magnate, and Eunice Dickerson, the bright opera star, have just returned from the golf links. They are soon joined by the noted Arctic explorer. Captain Chester Linham, and Lieutenant William Hahn, his constant companion. The woman in the purple scarf, coming down the steps, is Ger- aldine Gilbert Van Home, New York social leader. George Leistensnider comes stroll- ing by, pushing a chair in which are seated Ross Eyerly, prominent business man, on his vacation, and Lillian Walters, the noted dancer. Down on the beach is a merry party, clustered around Estella Lemon, champion long-distince swimmer, Ethelyn Mackey, fancy diver, and Cecelia Kemp, under-water swimmer. Mary Scott and Helen Schuler are running the candy stand down by the beach, which seems to be a success, judging from the line of men, who are waiting for salt water taffy. A big red automobile drives up to the hotel, and the chauffeur, Corrine Lawrence, opens the door for Susannah Voegele, who is reported to have just found the ideal man, and Margaret Nolan, who is taking the part of Susannah ' s French maid in order to observe the fashions at the resort and to gain ideas for her little millinery shop. The picture shifts again. Now I see a small, but beautiful town in California. Over on the big hill is the home of Wilbur Remy, millionaire orange grower. Wilbur is entertaining in honor of his fiancee, Marjorie McLean. Among the guests are many noted people. Over there is the movie queen, Edith Malone, talking to the successor of William Hart — Russell Hoot Gibson. Under that tree sits the great emotionalist, Hazel Manner, chatting with Ruth Miller, the artist who is designing the scenery for Miss Manner ' s new picture. Florence Cairns is the able secretary and business man- ager for the star. Some of the other notables present are Florence Martin, of the Reelart Company; Elizabeth Barrett, of Barrett Films, Inc.; Pearl Barnes, who has supplanted Pearl White in the hearts of her audiences, and Zada Au, featured in Mack Sennett comedies. But the person who is attracting the most comment and admiration is no other than William Bloor, who, in his new picture, The Arab Chieftain, has far outdone Rudolph Valentino in the gentle art of vamping. 54 Across the road stands a big white house, the summer home of the eminent novelist, Miss Sarah Bishop, who has written several histories which compete with those of Hazen in popularity with students. Her helper and companion is Alice Britton. A few miles from the town is the Moonshine Ranch, the home of Arnold Lehn- hart, who after being divorced by Barbara Smythe, left the east to begin again in the rugged west. It is rumored, however, that the girl in the case is growing tired of society life and a reconciliation is to take place. Over in Paris is an interesting group of classmates. Harold Bruce and Mrs. Lucile Hout Bruce are stopping on their honeymoon trip — they have run across a quaint old tea shop in the Latin quarter, operated by Florence Hall, Nina Figley, Donna Cline and Marie Beer, each of whom is studying some phrase of art. Then Mr. and Mrs. Bruce met Fern Pittenger, dainty star at the Theatre Francais; and the former Kathryn Martin, who is in France buying antiques for her husband, a famous interior decorator. Two doors away from the tea shop is the studio of Helen Lorow and Maurine Loiselle, designers of dolls. Back in Ohio, Edward Fisher is spending his vacation on his farm, indulging in his favorite sport, as a rest from the business in which he, Wayne Hursh and Robert Warne are engaged — finding out what makes wheels go ' round. Russell Humbert lives on the next farm, where he is engaged in advanced agri- cultural research. Mary Frey, another resident of the vicinity, is interested in the same occupation, having married a prosperous farmer. The medium sighed, shifted her position, and began again : I see a large hospital in a far away city. A group of nurses are standing in the corridor, although it is against the rules. There is Marian Keefe, who wins the hearts of all her patients; there are Rhea Mitchell and Gretchen Peppard, Helen Shingleton and Mirriam Thoma. They are discussing the latest hospital news: Helen Smith, assistant head nurse, has announced her engagement to Alden Heath, the great specialist. Down the corridor, Doctor Robert Keith is consulting with Head Nurse Mary Crile over the case of Ned Shocker, who was badly burned when he combed his hair too hard. The ambulance drives up — the driver, Robert Mink, and the interne, Charles Shutt, assist Paul Stuff into the hospital. Mr. Stuff is suffering from a broken arm, injured when he tried to pat himself on the back after a sharp business deal. Again, I see the rooms of a large club. A group of well-known people are loiter- ing here tonight. There are Ronald Henderson, the billiard shark; Mildred Conley, who has not ye t told him yes or no; Olive Burger, the composer; Jack Thorne, who still has hopes; Charles Ford, who made his money as the successor of Henry; Lloyd Lister, who, with his wife, Ruth Rowlands, has just returned from Cuba; Naomi Hink, the singer; Edith Erlich, engaged to Lord Humbug, the English nobleman, and Evelyn Baker, noted beauty. The good-looking man at the table by the window is Stewart Knarr, the cattle king, back east for several months. The girl beside him is none other than Marjorie Fisher, who cannot quite decide to leave Ohio for Montana. A commotion arises at the door as Raymond Harnly, the lawyer, enters. He is said never to have lost a case, having talked the most obstinate of his opponents into surrender after many long and windy debates. Lester McVicar is his silent law part- ner — silent because he has no chance to be otherwise. Over by the great fireplace is a group of the girls of ' 22. Most of them are now happily married, but they have not, contrary to expectations, chosen husbands from ' 22. There are Vallie Cramer, of Chautauqua; Florence Baer — who married a superintendent of schools — Francis Culp, wife of a foremost druggist; Ethel Byerly and Mary Gerst- myer, prominent in Y. W. C. A. work. Another girl of ' 22, Margie Feeny, took up this work and is now teaching physical culture in Mexico. The dark-haired girl looking at art magazines is the famous artist, Avenelle Fields, 55 Again the picture changes. I see a great church, lighted with candles. It is a wedding — down the aisle comes the bride clad in white satin. It is Margaret LeBerth, soon to be Mrs. John Condrin. The best man, John Correll, seems strangely nervous — small wonder, for the maid of honor, Thelma Richey, is lovely enough to upet any one. In the church are many friends of the couple. Russell Cline, Yale football coach, with his light-haired wife; Nihl Crider and Frances Shannon-Crider; Donna Morris, who came away from her California home for this wedding, and Mildred Miller, who has already gone down the aisle four times as a bride, and is thinking of a fifth. The next scene is not so soleumn. I see a cricus — Mary Kolb Taylor and Virgil, with Robert Campbell and Margaret Hoppe Campbell, have come into town for the day from their model farm. Dolores Williams is to be seen as the fat lady; Marvel Wiegand and Ethel Walker are equestriennes, while Mary Sheidler is the snake charmer. Down in the first row sits Faye Shively, who comes to hear the horse whinny; over there are wild west girls. Mary Antrican is the cook for the show, while Ruth Aderman and Faye Craig are tight-rope walkers. Ralph Bush and Harold Dysart are the much- heralded trapeze performers, while Miriam Johnson is the girl who trains the elephants, and Wilma Hout is the lion tamer, she having gained her experience handling her Ford. There ai ' e but a few more to tell of. Fern Herring has made a fortune in the fisii business, Laurabelle Davis has become a respected business woman of her home city; Mildred Dewitt started in grand opera, but is now making slapstick comedy; Eileen Craighead long ago married Robert Cunningham and has moved away from Mansfield; Helen Pearson and Frances Jones are doing a popular vaudeville stunt; Doris Kallmerten gave up her career as movie actress for that of kitchen mechanic; Helen Ingram went into the real estate business and found it quite profitable; Bertha Schafer has at last succumbed to Cupid ' s darts and is to marry James Reinhardt in the fall. Another popular member of our class, Ruth Downs, was married on St. Valen- tine ' s Day, while Mildred Crabbe, after two trials, has given married life up as unsuited to her temperament. Ruth Massa and Thelma Leech, however, find it very suited to them. Last, but by no means least, if you are ever passing through Bucyrus, stop and see the former Edith Mae Harrop, who finally made up her mind what she did want, and has not yet changed it again. Mme. Hooeliff ski rose wearily, put her hand to her brow, and murmured, Two dollars, please. We quickly paid the fee and leaving the house, walked slowly home, contemplating the wonderful fortunes of the members of that great class of ' 22.

Tecidy T% I 4 frv d tau ' W Pa s; Cotnmerc t ' lth , ? S ety c dii To the Victor Belong About two weeks after the opening of Oakland High School, walking slowly past almost any group of girls, you might have heard something like this — Oh, my dear, did you ever see such marvelous eyes? And so mournful! When he looks at me with that tired little smile, I could positively hotvl! His name is awfully appropriate, don ' t you think? With his wonderful hair, and that little limp, he certainly resembles Lord Byron. And he can read Virgil like English, said a pretty, merry-eyed girl in an awed tone. At this, there was a teasing laugh. Of course, he ' s a hero to you then, Betty, they said. Betty smiled apologetically. Well, of course — Virgil is awfully hard for me. They were discussing a newcomer to their small school — one Byron Seymour, just described. A fall from a horse when he was quite small had given him the tiny limp. It had never bothered him greatly, but when he saw how much it added to his interest in the feminine minds of Oakland, his instinctive desire for acting, led him to make the most of it. He had met Betty Grey, one of the most popular girls in the school, just before school opened and had liked her immediately; and she, apparently, was quite swept off her feet by the handsome newcomer from the larger town. The boys of Oakland High were slower to accept the stranger. His brilliant classroom work and his inability to engage in sports, added to his popularity with the gentle sex, won him the names of grind and sissy . As Byron had been quite a favorite in the big school from which he came, he was puzzled, but kept up his efforts to be friendly, although in vain. But, since after school hours he was most often with Betty, he worried little about it. And then — the football season really began. The squad had been practicing every night, and tomorrow was the first game. After school, a crowd went to the field to watch the practice, Betty and Byron, as usual, together. The way you read that passage this morning, she was saying, was simply — Oh, look! Doesn ' t Bob Turner look wonderful in his uniform? And see him break through that li ne. The next Monday, when Byron saw the eager groups of boys, he thought he had found the reason why the boys did not like him. It ' s because I ' m lame, he told himself, and not able to do anything in athletics. Why does that matter? I ' m interested enough in them. So he joined the group about Captain Bob Turner, trying to get into the merry conversation. When he spoke, every one stopped talking, and listened with a polite interest that was so annoying, contrasted with the careless, friendly all-talk-at-once they had just been enjoying that he stammered and stopped. I certainly envy you, Turner, he was saying, if it weren ' t for this foot, I surely would — He grew aware of the silence, stopped abruptly and turned away. A mocking voice followed him, Get that dramatic exit. Victim of circumstances, overcome by emotion, rushes out to drown his sorrows at the drinking fountain. 59 Persistent efforts on Byron ' s part as persistently failed. He was greeted politely as Byron, while to the football captain it was Bob or Turner always, and other friends the same. It seemed to him that if one should call him Solong — derived from Byron via Bye — or Seymour in the fashion to which he was accustomed, he would shout for joy. One morning ' , after a futile effort to be one of a laughing group, he shrugged his shoulders and went to look for Betty. She was seated at her desk in conversation with her neighbor across the aisle. She saw him coming, nodded, and bent over her book. He sat down in an adjoin- ing seat and began to talk. She suddenly interrupted, without looking up, Was there something special you wanted, Byron? I ' m awfully busy. Hurt, he answered stiffly, Nothing in particular. I merely wanted to ask you to drive to Clairmont to the theater tonight, but of course — Sorry, she replied briefly, I have another engagement. Puzzled and angry, he jumped up without a word, and stalked dignifiedly away, his limp slightly marring the effect. Betty did not look up. He again passed the group of boys on his way to his room, and heard one exclaim, I ' ll say you ' re lucky. Turner, to get a date with Betty Grey. Byron stopped, started, and half turned toward the speaker, but realizing that he was making himself ridiculous, hurried on. You ' d better look out for the poet, Bob, laughed one of the boys. He looked as if he wanted to eat you. In the days following, there was nothing to increase his liking for the husky captain. Betty talked to him at every possible opportunity. A few days before the last game of the season, she dashed out of Virgil class to intercept him in the hall. As Byron passed, he heard her say excitedly, Oh, Bob, you know my cousin in Chicago I ' ve told you about is coming in time for the game. I ' ve written about you and she ' s wild to see you play. I know you will do wonderfully. She walked up the hall beside him, looking up at him worshipfully. Strange thoughts came into Byron ' s mind in the next few days. He knew that every Friday, all the teachers of each boy on the team must give him an O. K. to enable him to play the next day. If one of them withheld it not all the pleading in the world would get him into the game. He also knew that Bob ' s 0. K. in English would depend on the completeness of the notebook he handed in, for his recitations were far from brilliant. How easy it would be to slip a few pages from the loose-leaf notebook. No one would suspect him, and Betty and the cousin from Chicago would see no posing, grand- stand playing on Saturday. When Friday afternoon came, and the notebooks were piled on the table, he saw Bob ' s near the top. He passed out with the class, but a moment later hurried back, and with an embarrassed smile said, I forgot to take some of my papers out of my note- book. Miss Wilkins. I ' m sure I don ' t want to read your notes, said the teacher, laughingly. He turned the leaves of Bob ' s notebook rapidly. Ah! here were some important facts. He loosened the clamps and lifted the sheets. He hesitated. What a con- t:mptible sneak he was! Betty stood for fair play, and clean sportsmanship. He was failing. He snapped the notebook shut and hurried out, not hearing Miss Wilkin ' s friendly gibe. 60 What had he so nearly done! All because of a little spite, he had almost lost the game for Oakland High. Walking slowly that he might compose his thoughts, he heard a cautious voice say, Training ' s over toinorrow, anyway, and I can ' t miss that show. It was Bob Turner! But the roads between here and Clairmont are fierce, remonstrated a second voice. It ' ll take you all year to get home. Oh, I guess I can make it by 12:30, replied Bob carelessly. Anyway, it won ' t hurt anything. We could beat that team with our eyes shut. I don ' t know, said the other doubtfully. They ' re supposed to be pretty good. Well, I ' m not going to lose the two and a half I paid for tickets, you can bet, said Bob. Taking Betty? inquired the unknown. Gee, no! She ' d have a fit if she knew it. Jake ' s going with me. But he ' s on the team, too! Oh, you give me a pain. Didn ' t I tell you we ' d win by a mile? A door closed, and the voices stopped. Byron moved on. At the first speech of the dialogue he had halted in his steps, beside a cloakroom door, partly ajar. He was horrified. Two of the best players on the team to be out half the night before the final game! And the captain setting the example for breaking training like that! That showed what kind of fellows the girls were going crazy over. Suddenly he remembered the notebook, and his face burned. Well, the result would be the same, anyway. Loss of sleep, and the rough ride would queer the game. He went into the classroom, and returned Betty ' s friendly smile with a malicious grin. At dinner, his mother wondered at his restlessness and lack of appetite. Half- way through with dessert he jumped up and excused himself, muttering, I ' ve got to do it. Hurrying to the garage, he ran out his roadster. For a moment he sat motionless. His mind bade him go, and then called him back. He thought of Betty. Betty stood for fair play, and clear sportsmanship. Bob was failing. He bent to the brake, and sped toward Bob Turner ' s home. Mrs. Turner, answering his ring, told him that Bob had driven over to Clairmont immediately after practice. Don ' t tell him I was here, please, said Byron as he turned to go. I did my part, he thought as he got into the car. But he did not go home. Instead he drove slowly in the direction of Clairmont. I awi making a fool of myself. The road surely was fierce. He drove faster. He slowed and swerved as if to turn around. I haven ' t got the nerve; Bob will just laugh. But I ' m )wt a coward, he exclaimed aloud as if answering an accusation. In fifteen minutes he was in Clairmont. He reached the theater at the close of the first act. Buying his ticket, he went in and looked around for the boys. He made his way to them and tapped Bob on the shoulder. Why, hello, Byron, greeted Bob weakly, I didn ' t expect to see you. Come outside, both of you, said Byron, I want to talk to you. Can ' t you say it here? Besides this is only a few minutes ' intermission. What I have to say won ' t take long, insisted Byron. When they reached the lobby, he said without preface, I came to get you to go back with me — now. Well, not so you could notice it, who do you think you are, anyway? Tomorrow is the last game, said Byron, it — 61 Yes, and it ' s the easiest. If that ' s all — Listen, Turner, begged the other, think of your example. Regular Galahad, isn ' t he? mocked Bob. But Byron had nerved himself so far, retreat was impossible. He argued, threatened, and pleaded until Bob said angrily, Oh, come on, Jake, we might as well. We couldn ' t enjoy the show now, anyway. The three walked in silence to the curb. Then Byron said, I know you think I ' m an interfering idiot, but when I nearly ruined the game myself, I couldn ' t let anyone else. And he told of the notebook. When he had finished. Bob said coldly, I ' ll have to say one thing for you, Byron. You ' ve certainly got plenty of nerve to tell me that. Byron drove home, miserable and unhappy, but a sort of fascination drew him to the game the next day. It surprised everyone. It was a whirlwind, from start to finish — to the finish that left Oakland in the lead — by one point. Bob, fi om his elevated position on the shoulders of joyous fans, saw Byron and hastened to him. He held out his hand. Seymour, he said, I — I can ' t — Oh say, Seymour, you ' re a sport! and he pumped his hand, and fled, afraid of the break in his voice. He called me Seymour, Byron was reflecting contentedly, as he turned to find Betty at his elbow. I want you to meet my cousin, she smiled. And then, drawing closer, she said quickly in a low voice, Bob told me all about it — the notebook and everything, and I think you ' re — just great she finished in some confusion. I ' m having a bunch up to celebrate tonight; will you come? Byron, smiling happily, assented. — Josephine E. Whittier, ' 22. 62 Junior Class Poem As Freshmen we were leaders!

Nobody ever calls me Prue. I hope you understand. Prudence quite fits me. And so did the hundred years. I would like to change my name. I can think of nothing imprudent enough. My aunts named me. They brought me up. That ' s what aunts are made for, to bring up their nieces strictly. I can sew, crochet, knit and embroider. I am educated, as a lady should be. The should-be education of a lady isn ' t very interesting. I would make somebody a good wife. Somebody doesn ' t want a good wife. He wants a pretty sweetheart. I am not. My aunts often tell me so. I suppose they are right. But I have a lovely disposition. All homely girls have. They have to have. I am not very happy. Molly, our maid, is. Yesterday I went into the kitchen. There was a young man there. He looked very nice. I glanced at Molly. She blushed. Miss Prudence, Darlin ' , she said, this is Jim O ' Brien, an old friend of mine. We used to play together when we was children. Shure O im plazed to mate ye. Miss Prudence, cried Jim. How ' s your hilth this foine morning? But he wasn ' t looking at me. He was looking at Molly. She didn ' t look at him. She knew it, though, for she blushed. It was a lovely rosy blush. It made her look so pretty. Jim looked harder than ever. Molly blushed harder than ever. Oh, lovely, thank you, I replied. I was fascinated by his voice. It was like Molly ' s. Only more so. His r ' s sounded like the telephone ringing. I looked at Molly again. She was in love with him. I could tell. You look different somehow when you love something. If it ' s only a cat. I haven ' t even got a cat. But Molly is a very ignorant girl. Quoted from Aunt Peace. I guess that ' s maybe why she ' s happy. My aunts have worried about me for some time. I am quite old enough to marry and settle down. (My aunts are not married.) I, the product of their jointed art, the well educated lady; and there is nobody for me to marry! Last evening after dinner my aunts were delighted. They had received a special delivery letter. A son of a dear old friend of theirs was coming. (Oh joy! Perhaps hes ' twenty.) A heaven-sent man. For me! (Probably thirty.) A chai-ming young man, of course. Aunt Charity. (Maybe forty.) Any- thing ten years older than she is always young. She is fifty. His name, Aunt Peace paused impressively, his name is Roger Trenton. (Horrors, of course he ' s fifty.) All my thoug ' hts go in parentheses. I am very pessimistic. I am a reformed optimist, you see. These ideas were appalling. I could not stand them. I politely asked to be excused. I was tired. I was excused. I very ostentatiously went upstairs. I went to my room. I glanced at the clock. It was forty minutes after eight. I didn ' t want to go to bed. Besides, something was sure to happen if I did. Roger Trenton might come. He might be young. Anyway some old men were very nice. I lit the candle in my room. I turned toward the mirror. When it ' s sort of dark, I thought, I don ' t look so bad. If only I had pretty dresses. My dress was black. It is a horrid color. But it was becoming to me. I lost interest in the mirror. I felt aimless. I wanted to do something if I weren ' t going to bed. I felt so gypsyish. I wanted to wander. I wanted adventures. I very quietly crept downstairs again and out the front door. I wanted to get away. I hated our house-home. It was big and dark and gloomy. I shuddered. I decided not to again. It was too slippery to take the risk. I walked on. How won- derful it would be, I thought, to be like other girls. I quite forgot my troubles. I 70 planned what I would do if I were. I had the most charming, delightful, frivolous dream of a dress. If I had pretty dresses maybe I might be pretty, or I might even be beautiful. Then perhaps somebody would like me. I looked down at my old-fashioned one. It was of stiff, heavy silk. Very wearable. It was the most I could say for it. It was at this moment that I decided to sit down. I carefully stood up. I changed my mind again and sat down. It was funny how unstable my mind was. My ankle ached dreadfully. I waited for somebody to come. It was rather mid-Victorian novelish. It quite suited me. I thought I would probably get pneumonia. If I died my aunts would be sorry. They ' d wish they hadn ' t wanted to marry me to an old man. I felt very sorry for myself. Two little tears crept down my cheeks. I waited for hours and hours. Then I heard a clock strike nine. Only twenty minutes since I had gone upstairs! There must have been some mistake. Surely it was nine o ' clock in the morning and the sun had forgotten to come up. My thoughts raced on. My imagina- tion is made of India rubber. I heard steps. I hurriedly returned from my funeral and wiped my eyes. Somebody was coming. Somebody was very tall and handsome. (I didn ' t know that then, I do now.) He stopped suddenly. Hello! he said. What ' s the trouble? I ' ve sprained my ankle, I replied. I was not very conversationally inclined. What! he cried. Don ' t tell me you have ankles. I looked down. You wouldn ' t think so with that big full skirt. No, I shook my head, of course not. I beg your pardon. My foot is joined right on to my knee. We laughed. No, he answered, I beg your pardon. And now may I help you home? I thought of Aunt Charity ' s advice on strangers. Especially on young men Grangers. But I couldn ' t sit there all night on the cold icy pavement even if I hadn ' t met him. I was sure Aunt Charity would understand. Anyway she ought to. I would remind her how she ' s always praising Emerson ' s Self Reliance. He says not to be sillily conventional. So I waived convention and said he might. Well, Little Miss Imprudence, he exclaimed, however did you happen to come out in those slippers on a cold slippery night like this? I gasped. Was it coincidence? Surely not. Who, I asked, told you that wasn ' t my name? He looked rather queer. I thought it over. It did sound sort of odd. I laughed. So did he, Yo u called me Imprudence, and my name is Prudence, I explained. I thought maybe you knew. No, he said, I didn ' t. Item number one, her name is Prudence. You haven ' t answered my question, he reminded me. I looked at him. He looked so nice and, oh-h, good-looking. • Even then I should have remembered Aunt Charity ' s teachings. But I didn ' t. It was like this, I replied. My aunts think it ' s time I married. They have picked a man for me. I ' ve never met him, but he ' s horried and — I looked at Some- body. He was so young and sympathetic. He is sixty, I cried. They were discuss- ing him. I couldn ' t stand it. I left. I was thinking about y — . I mean about some- body, anybody, I slipped. My ankle hurts dreadfully, too. Poor me. I felt so sorry for myself. I looked at him. He seemed to feel so sorry for me, too. Why don ' t you refuse to? he suggested. Why don ' t you marry somebody your own age? I don ' t know anybody my own age. I do know some old men. But unknown perils are better than known. At least, he ' ll be different. 71 I looked up. We were in front of the house. We slowly went up the walk. I limped a little more than I had to. I wanted to take as long as possible. Twice I thought Somebody was going to say something. Twice he changed his mind. A silence ensued. One of those silences that are golden and wonderful in books, and embarrass- ing in real life. We were standing under the little porch lantern. It threw light all around us. I had never noticed before how pretty it was. Really I had never appreci- ated the house at all. It looked mysterious and interesting now, instead of dark and gloomy. How much one thing can change others. I mean, of course, how much break- ing your ankle far from home makes you appreciate home when you get back there. I don ' t quite mean that either, you know what I mean. I glanced up at him. It was the first time I had seen him distinctly. He was looking down at me. I looked down, too. But I had taken a good look at him first. He looked like — like I always though Lord Byron would have looked if he had lived today. My aunts will not let me read Byron. They do not approve of him. Once I discovered a book of his poems and read them. My aunts did not like it at all when they found out. They made me read fifty pages of Gibbon ' s Decline and Fall of the Holy Roman Empire, the next day instead of twenty-five, as usual. I never read Byron ' s again. I wondered if Somebody were a poet. I hoped not. Poets are won- derful, of course, only I ' d rather he wasn ' t. Good-bye, Mister Somebody, and thank you, I said as I reached for the chain. Good-night, Miss Imprudence, he answered. Then, Oh, wait a minute, could you tell me where the Misses Glient live? Father wanted me to call on them while I was here. I thought perhaps they lived near. His expression seemed to say, I know that ' s very uninteresting, but I ' ve got to talk of something to keep you here. It gave me a nice gurgly complimentary feeling inside. Not like when Aunt Charity says, Really, Prudence, I am proud of you. You are a credit to the family. But like when children show they love you. However, the air seemed charged at the same time with T. N. T. Are you, I quavered, Are you Roger Trenton? Yes, Mindreader, he laughed. How did you know? — Eleanor Bradford, ' 23. 72 r Sophmore Class Poem When our M. H. S. needs boosters to put any project through, She just turns to ' 24, the class that ' s wilHng, and that ' s true.

Madame ' s work was that of a medium, or one who receives and translates, for the bene- fit of weak-minded people, messages from those departed to the spirit world. The rooms in which this mysterious business was carried on were few, there being only two, one the living quarters of the seeress, the other the mystery room. The mystery room was decorated in a very fantastic way. Black cloth, like cheesecloth, served the purpose of wall paper and also made the room more dark and morguelike. As there was but one small window and that covered with dark drapes, it was necessary to keep lit a small, pale, red light which was suspended from the ceiling. Chairs stood at one end of the room near the entrance door, while two chairs and a table, upon which was placed a dimly lit globe of glass, stood at the other end. The room itself, fixed in this way, helped get the clients into a nervous state of mind so that the rest was easy. Madame Halesy had finished her cleaning, had donned her red gown and turban and was now waiting for her callers. About 9:30 there came a timid knock at the door and in her solemn voice, Madame bade the person knocking come in. The door slowly opened and in stepped a frail, middle-aged woman who looked as though she were carrying the world on her shoulders. She at once stated her reason for coming, saying that for several nights she had dreamt that her husband had died and that this had worried her so that she thought she would come and see if it would come true. She was led to the table and seated opposite Madame, while the globe was placed between them on the table. Then the small red light suddenly went out and the room was left almost totally dark except for the faint light in the globe. The woman was then told to focus her eyes intently on this globe and to concentrate on it. This she readily did because she had now become frightened and almost wished she had not come. This conversation then ensued: For how many days has this omen bothered you? Three, was the meek reply. Have you told your husband anything about it? No, I have been afraid to, again came the reply. Of course your husband is in good health? was the next question. Oh, yes, he was just examined for life insurance and the doctor says he is in fine condition. This, in almost a tone of joy. We will then consult the globe, But you must concentrate on it if you expect an answer, was Madame ' s authoritative statement. For a space of five minutes the room was enveloped in silence with both women gazing intently into the globe as though examining a doubtful buy on a bargain counter. At length in a scarcely audible tone Madame spoke: I see a home and in this home there lives a happy family. The picture becomes plainer. Ah! now I can make out the people, one of them is you. There is a man the image of your husband talking happily with you. But now the picture disappears and another one takes its place. It seems to be many years later. Now it becomes clear. Ah! Again I see you, but you are now aged, and behold your husband also old looking is conversing with you. No, the fates decree that he will not die for many years. Oh! Thank goodness, was the fervent reply, as the woman was now sure that nothing would ever happen to her husband. The small fee of only three dollars was quickly given and a very happy woman went out the door. May the next one come soon, was the only thought of Madame as the door closed. She did not have long to wait for soon the door opened and a young woman peered into the dark room. Are you Madame Halesy? was the quick, impatient question put to Madame. A nod of the head was the response to the question. Well, Madame Halesy, I just thought I would come and see you for this reason. You see, my sister and I love the same man and each is sure he is going to ask her to become engaged to him, and I do so want to, because you see he is awfully rich and has the nicest machine. So can ' t you please tell me which one of us will be lucky? Oh! I am just dying to know. The fates know everything, was the solemn reply of the seeress. My, isn ' t that just wonderful, Amy, the would-be engaged girl, avowed. Do please hurry and tell me, was the next order. The usual ceremony of looking into the globe, concentrating and looking frightened was gone through. Then the questions began: You no doubt have gone with him for a long time and wish to marry him? was the question put to the girl. I should say so, I have gone with him for six whole years and we have never quarreled or disagreed over anything. I naturally want to marry him, she answered. We will now see what the globe will do for us or what the fates decree, was the rejoinder as Madame Halesy peei-ed more intently into the globe. All became quidt 81 and at the end of several minutes Amy began to think all was a failure, when Madame spoke in her low, haunting voice. A picture is appearing, but it is very dim. Now it is becoming plainer. Ah! Now I can make out a couple. The picture, however, is not clear enough for me to see who they are. The woman, however, looks and acts like you. The man is undoubtedly the person of whom you speak. He reaches in his pocket and brings forth a ring which sparkles. He is placing it on your spirit ' s hand. This ring, however, may be the ring of fate, I do not know. But now, the picture grows faint and disappears. The fates are not yet ready to give up their knowledge, and for this reason the picture was not clear, but remained dark and blurred. The time is not yet ripe, you must come again. A disappointed look come over Amy ' s face as Madame said this, and she said, ahnost crying: I did so want to know this, but I guess luck will never be mine. I always said I would be unlucky because I was born on Friday, the thirteenth. At this, the second small fee of three dollars was grudgingly paid, and with down- cast face she left the building. How different would her thoughts have been had she but known that that very next night he was going to slip that sparkling ring over her finger. Another fool, was the comment of Madame as the door again closed. The door did not open again, however, until about noon when a smartly-dressed middle-aged man entered. I came to see you, Madame Halesy, concerning a business matter, was the first remark uttered. I am a stock broker and but lately invested quite a sum in a large oil concern which I was sure would make good. However, I heard this morning that it had almost gone to the wall, and stock is dropping alarmingly. For this reason I came to see whether you could tell me how this affair is going to come out, he ended. The fates know everything, again replied the seeress. A third time then the ceremony was gone through and the following questions were asked : Is this statement concerning the oil concern from an authoritative person? came first. It surely is, briefly. Do you yourself feel that it will go under? came next. It ' s hard to tell, came briefly again. Such a perplexing and brief man, thought Madame. I will have to watch my step. We will now look into the globe, she said, with great self assurance outwardly, but not inwardly. The gazing continued for fully ten minutes and yet Madame had no suitable answer. Say, how long does this take? I have an engagement at twelve, came rather sharply from the opposite side of the table. Just as long as it takes for the fates to answer, was the only reply. He scowled and muttered to himself. I wish those fates of hers would wake up or I ' ll be out a deal. Then the long waited for fates began to respond. The Madame being the in- terpreter, as she slowly said: A picture is appearing, it is now growing plain. It seems to be a great field with many oddly constructed buildings on it. It seems as if they are producing er-er-gas, came rather suddenly. Say, I ' m not interested in gas, was the tart response of the now very impatient man. Oh, oh, I guess the fates are not ready to divulge their knowledge concerning your oil concern. The time is not yet at hand, she said. No, I guess not, was his dry I ' eply. He rose from the table in disgust and was about to leave, when Madame said very sweetly: The charge will only be two dollars, because the fates did not give the proper answer. He thrust his hand into his pocke t and finding two one-dollar liills, he all but threw them at her and went out, slamming the door and muttering all the way to the street. What a fool I was to think that she, with her old globe and bunk, could ever help me out. It ' s all rot. At the same time Madame Halesy was having a struggle with herself over the losing of what might have proved a good customer. So the day wore on with fish biting all the time and giving up their hard-earned dollars just to hear a woman repeat something that they had unwittingly told her. — Robert Witter, ' 24. 82 Freshie: LfKjk ;if yhc J-rcshif ' S from .

But the fact that we have little in common, since he is a boxing instructor and I, a college professor, does not mar our friendship. Besides he is the best trainer in the state of Iowa. My name is doubtless familiar to you all. It has been printed and reprinted in all the newspapers and periodicals of the country, for it is seldom indeed that a here- tofore unknown man wins a middle-weight championship. My story begins about two months back, whrn I had completed my course of lessons under Stubby. I take pride in keeping myself physically fit, though personally I am opposed to prize fighting. As I was removing the gloves, Stubby remarked casu- ally, I got ' cha matched f ' ra preliminary in a coupla weeks. Stubby, said I severely, do you think that I, Professor Albert C. Ward, of the University, expected to enter the prize-ring? If so, let me dispel your delusion by in- forming you . C on, can th ' high brow chatter, interrupted Stubby in that vulgar idiomatic way of his. Ya can ' t kid me that a guy with your speed, an ' your punch, condition, an ' youth, ain ' t gonna put on the mitts! He had touched on my sorest point, my youth. Although in order to conceal it I wear a moustache, my colleagues believe me to bs about thirty. As a matter of fact, I am only twenty-six. Stubby, I said, I hold, with the ancient Greeks, that the body is the house of the mind. Hence, I strive to keep it as strong as possible, but not in order to become a hulking bruiser! With that I left him, for an argument might last several minutes, and I had an appointment with Professor Lyons before delivering my lecture on archeology. Pro- fessor Lyons is like me in being opposed to the ring game. For an hour we discussed the evils of prize-fighting, and commented on the small attendance at my lectures. My lectures were only sliglitly lucrative, but I must have money. For Viola had told me that the wives of all the other professors had cars, so why not she? I promised her the car by February. Through the autumn months, I made many calls on Stubby, who constantly re- quested me to become a fighter. Finally one day he asked me, Whcn ' s yer next lec- tchur gonna be held? I ' m gonna be there an see if it ' s a big enough thing tah keep a man away from the game! I was delighted. Next Thursday, I informed him. Nughin ' doin ' , he replied tersely. I ' m stagin ' a middleweight championship fight between Wilson an ' Dean on Thursday. Can ' t you defer it until some other time? I asked. He stared at me blankly, and I presumed that my logic was unanswerable. But, for his convenience, I said, I ' ll postpone the lecture until Monday — handing him a complimentary ticket. Stubby removed from his pocket a bit of paste-board which entitled me to a ring- side seat at the fight. I did not wish to go — neither did I desire to hurt Stubby. So I took it. Thursday came, and the excitement was great. But I was gloomy as possible. It was January, and the money for Viola ' s car (I had decided to order it for February first) must be forth-coming by Tuesday. I had about half of it. I entered the large theater where the fight was to be staged, and found my seat. It was five minutes after seven, and the fight had not yet begun. The hall reeked of tobacco smoke, and the floor was covered with burnt matches, chewing gum papers, all sorts of odds and ends; a fitting environment for the staging of such a brutal exhibition. I noted the low, vicious appearance of a majority of the audience. My reverie was interrupted by a low murmur which grew into an angry buzz. It was half past seven, and the curtain was still down. A boy with protruding chin and lower lip brought me a message. It was from Stubby and read, Watch where the bearer of this goes. Then follow him. The messenger entered a door at the side of the stage. After a moment, still stupefied with astonishment, I rose and followed him. 92 stubby was waiting for me just inside of the door. For the sake of boxing and the love of mud, he exclaimed, enunciating clearly under the stress of excitement, help me out of this mess. What seems to be the difficulty? I inquii-ed. Nothing, except that that piker Bill Dean has caught pneumonia or mumps or something, and the fight is off. Why not go out and tell the audience that? I inquired. If I did, I ' d be hangin ' from a lamp post inside of fifteen minutes. From which I assumed that the populace would be displeased. You ' re the one man in the world kin help me, continued Stubby. Put on yer fightin ' togs an ' go out there in Dean ' s place. It means more jack than you ' ll earn in five years. It was tempting. To help Stubby, to obtain the money for Viola ' s car, I con- sented. Stubby, overcome with joy, almost wept. Then he ran out before the curtain and made an announcement. I entered the dressing room, and calmly changed clothes. I had no intention of knocking the champion out. I would box easily fourteen I ' ounds, and get a draw. As I entered the ring, a roar of applause greeted me. But what cared I for the plaudits of the rabble? I was there for Stubby, and Viola ' s car. For nine rounds I boxed easily, while the crowd went crazy; it was easy to ward off Wilson ' s vicious swings, and to tap him at will. As the gong rang for the last round, I saw Professor Lanforth place his new straw hat on a chair, and proceed in a most undignified manner to jump on it. As I was thus musing, Wilson took advantage of my abstraction, and struck me full upon the nose. I staggered, whirled, and caught him squarely on the point of the chin. I saw a man waving his arms over the prostrate champion, saw him step toward me and place a hand on my shoulder, then things ceased to happen until I awoke, at home. Viola, Professor Langforth, Stubby, all were bending over me. Stubby told me I was middle-weight champion of the United States. Professor Langforth said my fight was a marvelous exhibition. It ' s a Packard, I whispered to Viola. The ' phone rang. I shivered. Was President Hale calling to tell me I was dis- charged? Viola handed me the instrument. President Hale speaking. Yes, I quavered, weakly. On account of your part in the prize fight yesterday, I have decided that steps must be taken. Yes! I said again, for want of anything else to say. I have decided to raise your salary, he went on. Men who can fight are good men, men of learning are better, and the two combined make the best. It was truly a marvelous exhibition. Thanks, c4d man, I replied. Were you there? Right you are, answered President Hale. And wasn ' t it great, I continued, when old Langforth squashed his katie? — Alan Griffin, ' 25. 93 ::czxzzrzix!ziiiiz]ciizxrzzxixzxzzx::ixzzixzizxiiixz::zni I SEPTEMBER lixixx iiizrzxziixzzxxx) tiizixzzizizixi;:zzzzzzzzrzizziz H trzxii 12.

H. S. began with an arousing campaign for yearly subscriptions. After a week of lively interest and class rivalry, the Seniors finally succeeded in coming across with the highest percentage of subscribers, and with the Juniors holding a close second. This year, for the first time, the publication appeared the second week after school had started and has continued to appear bi-weekly, except during vacation intervals. Various departments of great interest and instructiveness have been added this year and the established departments bettered, thus enabling the Hypho to hold its own among high school publications, as was shown at the conference for High School Journalists, held at Western Reserve University ' s Sigma Delta Chi Chapter, which four members of the staff attended. The exchange department, as well as the list of alumni subscribers, has been extended and has developed an especial interest in Hi-Life Elsewhere. The purpose of the paper this year has been, not the development of any special phase of high school activity, but an equal representation of all phases of interest in M. H. S. Special editions during the year have included football and basketball issues — an April Fool Edition — and the staff hopes to dedicate its last issue in June to the Class of ' 22. The staff for 1921-22 takes this opportunity to thank the faculty and student body for their hearty and willing support, and expresses the hope that they will en- courage next year ' s staff by the same loyal cooperation, showing that they recognize the Hyphonerian to be the paper of M. H. S., and not simply the publication of the staff. STAFF Editor-in-Chief Jeanette Henkel AssT. Editor-in-Chief Esther Wood Business Manager Glenn Erdenberger AssT.

RESOLVED : That as long as the present world order exists the United States should retain the Philippine Islands. This was the question chosen for the annual triangular debate which was held April 7. The schools taking part were Wooster, Ashland and Mansfield. The visiting teams were the negative; Wooster at Mansfield, Ashland at Wooster and Mansfield at Ashland. Mansfield ' s affirmative team was made up of Hurst Anderson, as captain, Maurice Baer, Jeanette Henkel and Donna Morris as alternate. The members of the negative team were Wilma James, as captain, Lucile Ruley, Naomi Banks and Eleanor Bradford as alternate. 104 O w a H W W W H Clubs in the High School In order to add more to the social side of our school life, immediately after the Christmas vacation a list of clubs was presented to the Student Body, allowing- them to join any one they chose. These clubs were formed because the pupils themselves had asked for such clubs. For instance, a group of boys, know ing that Mr. Armstrong; was interested in rifle practice, asked for a Rifle Club, so under his leadership a very strong Rifle Club is now in full operation. A Commercial Club was organized, but because of the large membership, it was decided to divide the group, and so Mr. Smith became the leader of a strong, active club of Juniors and Seniors, and Mr. Connell a similar group made up of Freshmen and Sophomores. The Art Club, under Mr. Ketner, is doing very efficient work, and during the year is counting on giving a big Art Exhibit. Many outside people have met with the clubs from time to time and given ex- cellent talks. Then there is the Library Club, under Mrs. Neumann ' s able leadership. These are just a few of the many interesting clubs which we have, for they are sufficiently numerous to satisfy the inclinations and desires of the difl ' erent types of students. We believe that the clubs are here to stay, and that they will become a part of the regular school work. If a boy is interested in Wireless Telegraphy, can you imagine anything better than his belonging to a club where forty or fifty other boys are all interested in the same thing? We all feel that the clubs have been a wonderful help to us this year, and we know that next year all the live clubs will be organizing early and start their good work. THE BLUE TRIANGLE The Girl Reserves is the national movement of the Young Woman ' s Christian Association for younger girls. It includes in its membersihp grade school, high school and younger girls in business and industry between the ages of twelve and eighteen. The object of the movement is to give to the girls through normal natural activi- ties, the habits, insights and ideals which will make them responsible women, capable and ready to help make America more true to its best hopes and traditions. The base of the Blue Triangle is Spirit, its two sides are Knowledge and Health. This means that the Blue Triangle Girl is fit mentally, physically and morally. The club this year, we feel, has accomplished many splendid things. Of course, in all large schools the activities and business matters are quite large, thus it required the help and cooperation of all the club members, and this is done by the various com- mittees. The program committee has accomplished many things this year. Among some of their interesting events probably, for one, the Hello Party for the new Tri Girls opened the season very delightfully. This was in the form of weinner roast out at the lake in the autumnal season. At a later date the How to Keep Attractive meeting met with considerable favor and interest with the club members. Upon the appi ' oach of the Christmas holidays the club ' s activities were under the supervision of the social welfare committee, who instructed the members of the club in making scrap-books for the children ' s home, which was a great success. Also the baskets sent to the infirmary were greatly in keeping with the Christmas spirit. We consider this one of our great- est services to attain that goal, The Kingdom of Friendly Citizens. MEOTOMO COUNCIL The Meotomo Council was organized early in the school year and at the present time has a membership of about fifty representative boys from the various classes. Its program for individual development is especially attractive to those boys who are interested in outdoor life and leadership. The organizing idea is fully expressed in the following statement of purpose: (1) To promote a broad and sympathetic feeling of good will among the membership and to manifest this spirit in dealing with others; (2) to provide for physical activities and encourage the development of hobbies, especially as they reveal individual talents and vocational tendencies; (3) to make a careful vocational study that will lead to a more intelligent choice of life-work; (4) to study and discuss together such vital life problems as are vital to adolescent boys; (5) to seek opportunities for rendering such service to the community at large and to younger boys in particular as shall develop the elements of manly leadership. The Council was organized under the leadership of Professor Kerr, who has been ably assisted by Professors Gingery, Angell, Smith, and Miller. 107 Hi-Y The Hi-Y Club of Mansfield has been organized for six years. It was first under the leadership of Mr. Chapman, but now is directed by Mr. Graham, Boys ' Work Secre- tary of the Y. M. C. A. The club holds its regular meetings every Monday night at the Y. M. C. A. during the school year. The purpose of the club is to create, maintain and extend throughout the school and community high standards of Christian character. The club also stands for clean living, clean speech, clean athletics and clean scholarship, and these principles are im- pressed upon the new members entering the club. In order to carry out the Hi-Y purpose and slogan, a variety of activities have been conducted. At the beginning of the year a banquet was given for the High School boys. Some of the other activities of the club were: The Freshmen Get-Together for the boys; the World Outlook Campaign, to support the boys ' work secretary in India; the entertainment of Hunt ' s News Boys on Christmas day; Carrying the Torch to Bucyrus, special meetings at school for Torch; Bible Study at weekly meetings; a joint meeting with Blue Triangle Club, and many other things. The officers of the club this year are: President, Harold Bruce; Vice President, John Correll; Secretary, Hurst Anderson; Treasurer, Norman Wolfe. The Club has been affiliated with the Ohio Hi-Y Clubs and all of the clubs of Ohio are working toward their objectives: sacrificial service. Christian manhood, four- fold development and master men. 108 o o o o H O Student Government This year ' s General Council, an out-growth of the old Athletic Council of former years, has been very active in school affairs. Its officers, elected by the Student Body; its forty-two members, chosen by the various departments or organizations which they represent, have worked in cooperation for the best interests of the school. The Council is truly a representative body, and it is rightly called General Council. In it, music, athletics, school publications, clubs and all branches of study are represented by a student and a faculty advisor. Regular meetings have been held every Thursday morning throughout the school year, while many special meetings have been called so that the large amount of business which it was necessary for the Council to transact might be completed as soon as possible. It was discovered early in the year that some basic laws were essential, so a Con- stitution Committee was appointed. With the work of adopting the document which this committee drew up the real labors of the Council began, for six meetings were de- voted to discussing, amending and accepting the provisions of this Constitution. Realizing that the Student Body has expressed a desire for some form of Student Government, a committee was appointed which formulated a set of rules governing the order of the halls and the order of the building during the noon recess. In order to enforce these rules and at the same time place the control in the hands of the students, a Monitor System was instituted. When a demerit system had been added to the above mentioned regulations, they, with the Constitution, were presented to the Student Body and accepted with practically no changes. The Executive Committee of the Council, composed of the vice-president, four other elective members and a faculty advisor, in addition to the special work which had been assigned to it, heard the cases of the various violators of these rules and recom- mended a punishment to the Council members. When the case was brought before the Council, its members either accepted the recommended punishment or imposed another suitable one. Thus it can be seen that the Council not only attempted to develop a sense of civic responsibility and to create a condition of hearty cooperation among students and between students and faculty for the best interests of Mansfield High School, but also faithfully performed its duties, insofar as it was able, according to the powers vested in it. Since the Council was such a success, it will doubtless continue to function next year under leadership and when it appears feasible to do so, new laws will probably be added and new lines of work taken up. M. H. S. might be called a small nation, as it has its own officers, and its own representative law-making and governing body, of the students, by the students, for the students. Long live the General Council and the Republic of M. H. S.! 110 kJUL Stewart Khort ffusse CI me Coach Miller This is Mr. Miller ' s first year of coaching in M. H. S. He came here with the purpose of devoting all his time to school athletics, in which he has made a success. He is a graduate of Rio Grande University and also of the niinois School for Coaching. Mr. Miller believes in a team knowing the fundamentals of the game, and he has tried hard for the success of M. H. S. 113 rATriS Mr. Rowan, another new member of our faculty, came to us from Miami, and we surely believe that he must have brought all Miami ' s smiles with him when he came. In M. H. S. his ability and personality were at once recognized, and he was appointed Faculty Manager of Athletics. He has filled his position very capably and a large portion of the success of this year ' s athletics is due to Mr. Rowan ' s efforts. This year our managers have worked under serious difficulties. They entered upon their duties with no experience whatsoever because last year ' s assistants were unable to fill their positions as managers this year. Nevertheless, they worked long and diligently and did their best to make the teams a success. The system of managers this year is the same as last year, namely, all three managers, under the supervision of Mr. Rowan, take charge of all the teams. The system has worked very well and we hope to see it continued in the future. 114 o o Yell Leaders Just a few of them- Skin-a-marie-skin-a-mari Skina-a-ma-rinkty, dinkty, di Wa-hoo-flipity-flop Who ' s on top?

The football season of 1921 may seem very unsatisfactory, but with a team made up with very few experienced men back from the year before it was hard for a new- coach to pick a team. But when it came right down to fight and team spirit, the team was right there, and the prospects for next year are very bright with nine letter men back. M. H .S. started off with its first game of the season with Shelby, and with their experienced team they simply outclassed us for the first time in years, and as the result the score was 47-0. The following week the team went through hard practices, and as the result, won its first league game from Bucyrus, which was one of the best games of the season. Bucyrus started off with a rush, but Mansfield got the old fight and won 13-6. The following Saturday M. H. S. was defeated by Tiffin 24-0. The team entered the game overconfident, and as the result Tiffin ran up a larger score than our team could overcome. Delaware defeated Mansfield the next Saturday, 24-19. The team played a good game, and had it not been for injuries to some of the players, we would have had a better chance. Galion was met on her own l attlefield the following week, and there old M. H. S. showed some real fight, and had it not been for a trick play, they wouldn ' t have won so easily. Score 21-13. The following week Mansfield met Sandusky and put up a stubborn fight, but Sandusky ' s defensive playing was too much for our team, and IVI. H. S. lost, 12-6. Marion was met on her own grounds the next Saturday, and although M. H. S. outplayed its opponents, we lost 7-6, as the result of a missed goal. The following Saturday ] Iansfield played Norwalk in a sea of mud, and won 12-0. M. H. S. played its final game of the season with x shland on Thanksgiving day. And with the school and a large crowd behind them the team ' s fighting spirit was excellent and M. H. S. won from its old rivals 7-6. In looking back over the work of the season, it must be said that every man on the team did his best and put up a clean fight during the season, 119 Itvin dri ne V mmm.1 Edward Wofkins Charles Ford R mald Jeijney A Harold Bruce ffvssefi Gihson Henry haiy Carl SeyiriQur K ' - A Stewart Hnarr Chester Frkkmoft K ' A P Herbert 5ht h Robert BeH Ceiriton Guthrie o =7 o fc I— I O ft) n ' so 3 O o o fD o 1=; ST rt l-H = c; re (n - i ro O Summary of Basl etball Season After two strenuous weeks of practice the Red and White basketball team started in with a hard schedule of seventeen games. The season ended with eight defeats and nine victories to our credit. M. H. S. also won the North Central Championship and made a good showing against every team it played. M. H. S. opened its season with Fostoria here, and this was the team ' s first chance to show what it could do. The team work was excellent and M. H. S. won its first game, 31-21 score. The team journeyed to Norwalk the following week and was handed a surprise. It was a hard fought game and Norwalk won in the last minute of play. 26-25 score. The following week Tiffin was met here; the visitors started off with a rush, but the team soon checked them and won, 35-14 score. The next Tuesday M. H. S. and the Alumni staged a whirlwind game on the Y floor. It was an exciting game and one never knew just what team was going to win, but M. H. S. won out in the last few minutes of play. Score was 30-29. That same week the team went to Lorain and lost a hard-fought game. The first half was very close, but in the second half, Lorain came back and won out, 30-23 score. After vacation week, Akron South was met here in one of the most exciting games of the season. The team work of both teams was perfect, and it was a fight from the very start. The score, Akron South 36, M. H. S. 33. Lorain came back the next week for a return game, and M. H. S. tried hard to get an even break, but lost 24-16. The team journeyed to Marion for its first league game the following week. The team played in fine form and won out in an overtime period. 21-20 score. Delaware was met here for the second league game, in which M. H. S. won out in a whirlwind finish. 26-23 score. The next night the team went to Sandusky. Poor team work lost a rugged game. 21-15 score. The following week Bucyrus was met at Bucyrus in a very hot contest and M. H. S. won. 33-22 score. M. H. S. journeyed to Ashland the following week to clash with her ancient rivals; the Red and White had no trouble in winning, and simply outclassed them. 41-22 score. The following week Gallon was met here in a pretty game, but our team was a little too much for Galion, and M. H. S, added another victory. 32-19 score. The team went to Delaware the following week to take part in the O. W. U. T. It drew Bucyrus, and after a hard fight, it was eliminated. 19-18 score. Millersburg was played here the following week and was defeated. 27-15 score. The team went to Canton the next week with a few regulars out of the lineup. The first half, the team did not play well, but it came back in the second half, and had the game lasted a few more minutes, there would have been a victory. 24-22 score. M. H. S. closed the season by playing Ashland in the last league game at the Coliseum. The game was played before one of the biggest crowds that ever witnessed a basketball game in Mansfield. The game was played on a slippery floor. Ashland was out for revenge and put up a fight and won. 29-15 score. 125 F Aihett Roth I A William Bl, eor Cor ton GufAt e ¥ fS Horofd Bruce George •S c er Russell Ch ' fe M. H. S. Basketball Team KNARR— During the season Knarr has played both forward and guard positions with great ability and with his usual team spirit. Stew ' s successful captaincy of the five has shown that the squad knew what they were doing when they picked him as their unanimous choice. CLINE— ' Bus, who was our star center this year, always kept his man guessing and whenever he started making baskets he was a hard man to stop. He was a good follow shot and was always fighting for the ball. M. H. S. regrets to lose Cline. BRUCE— Harpld held his place at back guard, and took care of it in magnificent style. He is a scrapper from the very start and gets long shots off of the back board in good style. Although Bruce didn ' t get many shots at the basket, he kept his opponents from scoring. This is Bruce ' s last year in M. H. S. BLOOR— This is Bill ' s second year at the forward position and he is taking care of it in good style. He has an accurate eye for the basket and always keeps his guard on the lookout. Bloor is another Senior who will be missed next year. GUTHRIE— Red played guard this year and was one who could always be depended on to fight. Red showed his wares at Marion, when he made two pretty shots that helped to win the game. This is Guthrie ' s last year to play on the Red and White team. ROTH— Al didn ' t get his flying start, but when he got going it was much to the dis- advantage of our opponents. Al is a good shot and should show up well next year on a champoinship team. SNYDER— George, who played sub-forward this year, showed up well; he is a good shot and works into the team work in fine form. George will be back next year and should make a clever forward. 127 IF -Trr-rsrrrTrrr-r- r ( ' ? ' ' i ' •4! 4.

S. have been allowed to participate in athletics only by backing the boys ' teams. This year a chance was given them to show what they themselves could do along this line, and the result was the girls ' basketball team. A regular hall for prrxtice was not secured until the latter part of January and not until then was there any real organization. They were coached by Coach Miller and Miss Rayot. Only about six games were scheduled with other schools. On consideration that all the players were new and had not worked together long the results were quite good, as they were defeated by only two teams. Since the majority of the squad are underclassmen, the prospects for having this branch of High School activity show up as well as the others are quite promising. 131 Who ' s Who in M.H.S.

H. S. HALLOWE ' EN PARTY The first social function of M. H. S. was held November fourth at the Coliseum under the auspices of the Senior Class, and was in the form of a masked ball. All wore very unique costumes. Parents of the students were the guests of the evening. The Coliseum was decorated in keeping with the Hallowe ' en season. First came an hour of dancing, then the spacial features began. Familiar characters, as George Washington and Martha Washington, Old King Cole, Little Bo- Peep, Julius Ctesar, the heroes of M. H. S., etc., promenaded before the guests. The entertainers wore very realistic costumes and every one enjoyed these stunts. Following this, dancing was resumed until the closing hour. Can any one forget the serpentine maze? Never!! Every one enjoyed the occasion immensely. HI-Y PARTY The Hi-Y opened its social season by a Thanksgiving party at the Y. M. C. A. The gym floor was used for the grand march and the various games that were enjoyed. A delicious luncheon was served in the social rooms, which were prettily decorated in the Hi-Y colors and emblems. Every one enjoyed the party very much. SENIOR KID PARTY The Senior Kid party was held in the halls of M. H. S. December the ninth. All the little girls, with their short dresses, curly locks and butterfly bows, and the little boys, with their short trousers and buster-brown collars, were very amusing. The Kid program was held in the Auditorium, which was decorated in the class colors. After this program, the second floor served as the playing ground for the Kids. At ten o ' clock cookies, ice cream cones and suckers were served. All departed at an early hour, as all good children should. FRESHMAN PARTY On December fifteenth the Freshman Party was given. The auditorium was decorated with strands of red and green balloons intermingled with the class colors, orange and black. A small Christmas tree and pine boughs decorated the stage. Stunts were given by the various report rooms. Following these stunts came Santa Claus, bringing each member of the Faculty a gift. He then delivered stockings, which were filled with candy, popcorn and oranges, to the members of the class of ' 25. THE SOPHOMORE PARTY The Sophomore Party of February the fourteenth, in the form of a Valentine party, proved a delightful success. The west end of the second floor was transformed into a cozy room, furnished with several wicker outfits, lamps and streamers of gold and blue, the class colors. St. Valentine ' s Visit and That Old Sweetheart of Mine, two cleverly pre- pared skits, readings, mandolin and piano solos, and the first appearance of the Sopho- more Ukelele Club were the numbers that the students as well as the faculty enjoyed. The Yankee Innovators, composed mostly of Sophomore boys, furnished the lively music until the time that luncheon was served, but then, who could be expected to play when such delicious refreshments were being served? As a whole, the party was one of the best ever held in M. H. S. 134 Social Calendar (Concluded) SENIOR BANQUET The annual Senior Banquet was held Wednesday, February 22, at the Central Mithodist Church. As is the custom, the tables were arranged in the form of a maltese cross. Rows of bright red candles were placed along each table and looked very pretty as they burned. Smilax, with its contrasting color, trailed to the end of each table. Huge baskets of vivid red carnations formed the center pieces. The class colors, crimson and gray, were carried out in the programs found at each place. A delicious three-course dinner was served. The class president, who acted as toastmaster, opened the program by giving a toast to Washington. Other toasts in response to appropriate quotations were given by the following: Lillian Butts, The Past; Marie Beer, Classmates; Donna Morris, The Faculty; Edward Watkins, Misfortunes; Mildred McCally, Class Celebrities; Harold Bruce, Our Girls; Mabel Miller, Our Boys; Helen Keating Changing Hours, and Robert Eggerton, The Future. Musical numbers interspersed the various toasts. Francis Culp and Harold Sayles gave piano solos; Helen Schroer and Olive Burger, a piano duet; Mr. Collins and Ronald Henderson, violin solos; Mr. Holcomb, a cornet number; Mr. R. A. Chubb, a vocal selection; Eugene, two cello selections, and the Senior Girls ' Glee Club provided several numbers. JUNIOR-SENIOR RECEPTION The annual Junior reception for the Seniors was held March 24th in the High School. The arrangement of the halls was very charming. The hall of the second floor looked very atractive with big, comfortable chairs and davenports, rugs covering the floor, and beautiful, shaded lamps. Here the guests were received, and punch was served. Instead of the usual Junior play being presented at this time, a musical program and comedy in one act was given. Piano solos were given by Naomi Wigton and Selby Houston; Inez Sotherland and Louise Booth gave readings; Louise Emery, a violin solo, and Margaret Leopold, a vocal solo. Then came the clever one-act comedy, Rosalie. The cast included Miriam Rife, Lucile Gerhart and Roscoe Sullivan. The guests were taken to the lower hall for the serving of refreshments. The serving table was very prettily decorated with flowers and kewpie dolls. The affair was then brought to a close with every one feeling what a delightful success it had been. LAST SOCIAL EVENTS OF THE YEAR Plans are being made for the last social events of this year, which will be held during Senior week. There will be the Baccalaureate sermon. Senior picnic. Class Day and Commencement. 135 Senior Play QUALITY STREET Quality Street ' by James M. Barrie, was chosen for the Senior Play of the Class of ' 22. This play takes place in England at the time of the Napoleonic wars. It contains all the charms and quaintness usually to be found in Barrie ' s plays. Miss Susan Throssel and Miss Phoebe Throssel personify all that Quality Street holds dear. The dashing Valentine Brown nearly breaks the heart of our dear Miss Phoebe, but she, brave woman that she is, keeps her flag flying. Miss Susan and Miss Phoebe, because of reduced income, are forced to keep a school, for genteel children only, to be sure. When the dashing Valentine Brown comes back as the brave Captain Brown complications arise at the sudden appearance of Miss Livy, a niece of the Misses Throssel. This play was used in the Senior Public Speaking classes as a text for the study of dramatics. The classes were later divided into committees, which had charge of stage properties, costumes, advertising and ticket selling. The success of the play was due to the general interest and cooperation of all the students in the Senior PubHc Speaking classes. Those having the principal parts were as follows: Miss Phoebe Throssel, in whose blue and white room most of the tragedy and com- edy takes place Isabel Spohn Miss Phoebe Throssel, Phoebe of the ringlets, as V.

The land of cherry blossoms, gay kimonos and romance formed the setting for the Junior play. The play chosen was The Revenge of Shari-Hot-Su. American learning and American ways, combined with Japanese love and Japanese costumes, made an interesting contrast. The Japanese lovers, educated in America, found the Japanese planned marriages little to their liking. American friends of the sad Jap- anese lovers, making use of the American ingenuity, helped to solve the difficulty. The terrible Shari-Hot-Su-Lama was not very terrible after all and everything ended happily. The cast was as follows: SHARI-HOT-SU The terrible prospective bridegrroom ROBERT BELL KIOTO The sad lover CLARK BROOK HAROLD MANNING The ingenious American friend ROSCOE SULLIVAN CHERRY BLOSSOM Shari ' s unhappy intended bride. . .ELIZABETH TAYLOR TOYAMA Cherry ' s weeping mother HELEN LYONS NINA BEACONSTREET. .

Music Notes THE EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE The Executive Committee is composed of eight members, six of whom are elected by the student body, the other two being the music editor of the Hyphonerian and the music editor of the Annual. The committee takes care of the finances and correspond- ence of the Music Club and arranges for programs, either local or outside talent, which are held in the auditorium during the regular music period. The following students from other High Schools have given us recitals this year: Ruth Henderson, singer, and Russell Klopfenstein, pianist, from Bucyrus; Theodore Poister, pianist, and Ray Miller, flutist, from Gallon; Winnifred Zinninger, violinist, and Annabel Hess, pianist, from Canton. These programs were very good and were fully appreciated by those who were fortunate enough to attend. The faculty program was something out of the ordinary and was much enjoyed by the music pupils. 145 First Orchestra Top Row, left to right — Robert Cunningham, Albert Hachten, Joseph Cairns.

Music Notes {Continued) PIANO DEPARTMENT This year the Piano Depai ' tment, owing to the large number of members, has been divided into three sections — A, B and C, which conduct the work on a more organ- ized basis. The A section is composed of students who do active work, such as playing for music classes, mass meetings, chapel, orchestras and solo work. Students who belong to the B section also furnish solo work for programs; those in the C section are engaged in no active work. The executive committee classified the members into the respective groups and those whose work does not merit them a place in the A or B sections are placed in the C section temporarily until they have become proficient enough to be placed in either of the other groups. The only requirement for membership in the Piano Department is that the pupil is studying with a teacher of piano. 146 Second Orchestra Top Row, left to right — Harold Campbell, Kenneth Bolesky, Russell Heston.

It is devoted to the study of pianists and composers and their works, the membership being open to students who are interested along such lines. The meetings are held in the auditorium at one o ' clock on alternate Fridays. Many inter- esting programs have been given and one which was especially enjoyed by the members was the MacDowell program, given March 17th. The life and works of the composer were discussed and a few of his compositions were played by the students. THE GIRLS ' GLEE CLUB The personnel of the Girls ' Glee Club comprises the girls who have passed the required vocal test given by Mr. Chubb. Because of the numerous other musical activities, not as many programs have been given this year as formerly. The selections sung at the Annual Senior Banquet were enjoyed by every one. On March 15th a pro- gram was given at Newman School in the interest of the Little Mission Church. Be- sides singing at the Miscellaneous Concert, special chorus parts were taken at the May Festival. Because of lack of time during school, the Boys ' Glee Club has not been organized this year. 147 Mandolin Club Top Row, left to right — Professor Smart, Lucile Ruby, Harold Eller, Russell Terman, Eugene Engwiler, Donald Speiser, Lillian Cunningham, Reid Homerick.

Music Notes (Continued) FIRST AND SECOND ORCHESTRAS The First Orchestra is composed of advanced students and is under the super- vision of Mr. Collins; the Second Orchestra, composed of beginners, is also directed by him. Mr. Collins is a graduate of the College of Music at Cincinnati; he also studied violin with Professor Heermann and public school music, theory and composition with Professor Gantvoort. It is interesting to note that he served with Sousa ' s Band during the war. This is the first year that the orchestras have had a special director who devotes all his time to orchestral work. The orchestras are advancing rapidly and have met with success wherever they have played. THE MANDOLIN CLUB The Mandolin Club has been very successful in all its undertakings and we may well pride ourselves on having such a splendid organization. Mr. Eugene Smart has been the director of the club for three years, during which time his success as a leader has been shown. Besides playing for several mass meetings and many programs, the Mandolin Club assisted at the Miscellaneous Concert. Their selections were greatly appreciated and are worthy of much praise. 148 The Band Top Row, left to right — LeRoy Henderson, James Beck, Robert James.

Music Notes (Concluded) THE BAND The Rotai ' y, Kiwanis and Exchange Clubs are fathering the movement for the School Band. Funds were raised to purchase instruments and hire instructors, and the work began on January 13th. A band is an asset to a school ' s activities, especially in athletics. Instrumental instruction is practically a new movement in school work, and we can be quite proud that we are not behind in this movement. The band made its first appearance at the Miscellaneous Concert, and we are indeed proud of the success it has attained. 149 ' Hay U e R cA.P Ilfcfi) } fl s c.t Please do not rave And curse the knave, Or knaves, as it may be.

Prize Fight Hoavling Success Promoter Tubby Crile has again put on a successful boxing show. All the bouts were exceptionally fast and furious. Battling Jesson vs. K. O. Houston Young Proctor vs. Kid Fritz Wildcat Olds vs. Two Fist Andrews The first bout was a hummer, K. O. Houston scoring a knockout. Battling Jesson displayed a wicked right, which repeatedly landed on Houston ' s nose, but in the last round Houston became peeved and floored the country ' s favorite. The battle between Young Proctor and Kid Fritz was the best on the card. It was fast throughout, Proctor proving his ability to run by circling the ring 106 times, Fritz chasing him all the while, and hitting him with every thing, except the water bucket, yelling, the bigger they are the harder they fall. Young Proctor ' s seconds saved him from a knockout by throwing the sponge in the ring. By winning this bout, the local champion earns the right to fight Hardhead Wilmore for the heavyweight championship of this township. Wildcat Olds and Two Fist Andrews were up next. Andrews socked Old for a row of Manchurian pie pans, but he weakened in the second after Old had pulled most of his hair out. At the end of the third round both fighters were worn out and they decided to debate instead of fighting for the first section of the fifth ward championship. It was declared a draw. Red Anderson was the third man in the ring. He handled the fights in good shape, but owing to a misunderstanding of a fan on one of the decisions, Anderson is now located in the hospital. The Robin Hood Boys played Over There and other delightful selections between rounds. The crowd was greatly pleased. The seven fans said it was the best fight they had seen since the one last week.

They did not seem to know how to start an acquaintance, but after eyeing each other for some time in silence, Russell said, Can you spit? Then the fun began. It is also said that Bus had a language all his own, two of his synonyms being gaw-gaws for potatoes and oc-go-las for elephants. OUR LADIES ' MAN We have been told that before Russell Gibson could even manage the family Billy Goat he displayed a fondness for the young ladies, and got his brother to drive Billy so he could take a young lady riding. Another accomplishment of Bus ' s was the teaching of his dog to play the piano; he would climb on top of the piano, get the dog ' s fore paws on the keys, and then move back and forth on the top, the dog following him with very satisfying results. HER FIRST HIKE One bright spring morning, a blue-eyed, golden-haired little gii l of not quite three years decided to take a hike. Consulting no one, she started out; the result was the tolling of the fire bell and the formation of a searching party. One man took the boulevard connecting Massillon and Canton, and there found the little Miss. Upon being asked where she was going, she replied, Oh, Libeth just take a little walk to Canton (a distance of eight miles). The hike habit has grown with Lizzie. AN EYE FOR THE FUTURE When Lucile Hout was a young lady of five summers Santa Claus had brought her all the things she had wanted for Christmas and many other things besides.

A YOUNG WEATHER MAN One afternoon Mrs. Correll was going to take her son John out for a walk, but while she was getting ready it started to rain. John came rushing in, saying that the sidewalk was all spotted. A THOUGHTFUL BIBLE STUDENT When Harold Bruce was quite small his mother was reading Bible stories to him, one of them being about the creation, when God spat upon the ground and made man. Harold thought about it for quite a while, and finally he said: Did God chew tobacco when he made a nigger? 164 CANNOT TELL A LIE One day, when Hurst Anderson was still in his childhood, he complained of a sore tong-ue. His mother told him that that was a sign he had told a wrong story. Hurst replied: Well, I ' m sure God made a mistake this time; it must have been my brother who told it. He knows I never tell lies. KIND TO ANIMALS At one time the McCallys had in their possession a very old horse, which gained Mildred ' s sympathy, and one day when she had been gone an unusually long time, she was discovered in the barn reading to the horse from her First Grade Reader. PAGE AN UMBRELLA Mabel Miller ' s brother Lee was quite good at drawing ' , and one day he was drawing a picture of a house, barn, walk and trees, and lastly he put a little girl on the walk. When he had finished he decided to make it rain, so drawing a pencil lightly across the picture, said: Now it is g ' oing to rain. Mabel, watching him, clapped her hands and exclaimed, Run! Run! Little girl, it ' s dribbling on you. HER MISTAKE Marjorie Fisher was four years old when she developed her first cold-sore on her upper lip. She ran to her mother very much excited, and asked what it was that hurt her, but as her mother was busy, she did not explain. When her father came home to lunch he asked what was wrong with her mouth. She said: I don ' t know, daddy, but I ' spect I ' m getting a corn.

Stand twelve inches from your partner. She may not love you as much as you think she does. 2. Don ' t lean on your partner; she ' s probably had no lunch either. 3. Don ' t look as if you were pained. Take courage. Dances don ' t last a lifetime. 4. Place one finger on your partner ' s shoulder. She may not be used to dead weight. 5. Try not to get your form in the shape of a pretzel. Other shapes are far more becoming. 6. Be light on her feet as well as on your own. 7. Listen to the music. Your conversation may not be quite as full of harmony. 8. Keep time. The man who wrote the music knows more about rhythm than you do. 9. Don ' t try to invent some new stuff in dancing. People knew how to dance before you arrived. 10. Follow these rules and you ' re sure to get away with the women. Waw haw! Waw haw! Father — Why are your grades so low since Christmas vacation? Bob Bell — Everything is marked down after Christmas. f GET IN THE GAME !

The great fortunes of the world have grown from little beginnings. Make your beginning now in a savings account. Then make a firm decision to save the first part of all the money you get. Have a growing savings account. . .J .j - J- THE FARMERS ' SAVINGS AND TRUST Co. THE BANK ON THE SQUARE CHIVALRY He rose with much alacrity And offered her his seat.
