I prepare them in- tellectually and morally for the jour- ney of life which lies before them and help them ever to keep in sight the lighthouse of love and service, al- though the way may have many bar- riers. As leaders of the future, I set my aim for them. If there goes forth from my care, young men and women, permeated with nobler dreams of deed and word for themselves, my endeavor will be justified. iHansfteln K|tgh rhanl Annual- Nineteen ftuienty-three H.

H. S. the class of ' 23, great in number, Lndomnitable in spirit, and destined to excell in intellect. Nothing of any importance was undertaken by this class until the Freshman Party. In the second year their ranks were somewhat depleted, but not enough to weaken the class. Class officers were elected under whose leadership the class was guided throughout the year. The Sophomore Class Party was given in the form of a Carnival. It was unique, clever, and so out of the ordinary that it commanded praises of its success from all who were in attendance. The class of ' 23 was now entering upon its third year of high school. Officers were again elected. The first part of the year was entirely devoted to the supporting of high school activities. Finally the school year came which was the gayest for the Juniors. They entertained the Seniors royally at the annual Junior-Senior Reception. The class had looked forward to this affair from the time they entered high school ami they were far from being disappointed in it. The talent of 23 was displayed in the Junior class play— The Revenge of Shari Hot Su. Thus the Junior year came to a close, each member of the class realizing that just one more year of high school lay before him. Fully realizing this they entered school in the fall of 1922, determined to do their utmost for the school and for their class. The best officers were elected, for they had a great responsibility. The Senior girls established a precedent by entertain- ing the faculty, their wives and husbands. Then came the famous Senior Kid Party at which the Seniors, laying aside their dignity, were children once more. On Wash- ington ' s Birthday was the annual Senior Banquet, followed a little later by the Re- ception, at which the Juniors entertained the Seniors. The end of the year drew near. The Senior Play Milestones, was presented to the public at the Opera House; the festivities of Senior Week were enjoyed by all; and then came Commencement, per- haps the saddest time of all the four years of high school. Thus the history of ' 23, as a whole, comes to an end, but this marks but the be- ginning of the individual history of its members. fax the Hearth Jffrr The lady in velvet advanced shyly into the hall of dazzling brilliance, of laugh- ter, conversation, and persons, gathered to survey London ' s latest art exhibition. Per- sons indeed, artists, poets, great literary men, dramatists and critics upon whom de- pended the success — the failure of youthful lives striving in the arts. Several of the heads turned to note the lady of velvet, small, shy, wistful. She was much too tiny to attract so much attention. But suddenly she seemed to grow several inches in stature and to lose her shyness and wistfulness. A tiny, triumphant smile played around the corners of her lips. Involuntarily, the eyes of the persons turned to the direction in which she was gazing. And involuntarily, too, every one smiled for they were gazing upon the first exhibited painting of the clever newly popular artist, and from the portrait smiled the sad eyes of the lady in velvet. Suddenly her eyes narrowed as if perceiving a flaw in the portrait admired by all London and quickly she turned and fled from the hall of fame. That eventide as she proceeded from the vast staircase into the hall, the slender figure of the artist knelt before her and lightly taking her hand, tenderly kissed her fingers. fHansftrlu Sftgh School Annual- Ntnrtrm Suirntu-thrrr And wert thou again flaunted, dear knight, she inquired teasingly. Yes, lady of velvet, hesitatingly came the reply. I fear me the vivacious lady loves Peter greatly. Motioning for him to fellow her, she led the way into the drawing room. She felt most sorry for her dear knight because the vivacious lady whom he adored loved Peter, but she feared for herself lest Peter whom she loved, loved the vivacious lady. She adores Peter and does he equally well adore her? again she questioned with a curious tinge of something almost bordering on anxiety. Oh, of course, who could help that? That made the lady of velvet smile to herself. Oh, lady of velvet, his smooth voice continued, If you only understood. I love her so that she means more to me than my art. How can she — how can she love Peter who has no art, beauty of soul, nothing but common sense, common as himself. Oh how young you are, dear knight, thought the lady of velvet. How young, and then she spoke. Dear knight, I have many things I wouldst say to thee. One is this, thou hast not the true faith. In thy heart thou lovest one mortal more than God. Thou doest not understand what thou believest. Worldly opinion is too much in thy heart. Know this, then, and resolve it in thy heart, God is love. Only when love is in thy heart can God be there and only can true love for any person be in thy heart when there is love for everyone. Only with this can one advance upon the path of success, for only by love is love begat and only by dependence on the helping push of hands of those who love can one succeed. Lean on thy fellow man and let him lean on thee. This afternoon I went to see thy portrait of me in the exhibition. All the wonderful persons were praising it and at first I was so proud — but then disappointed for I know it is not wonderful for it holds not the light of love to make it live through the years. Thou dost not love the vivacious lady but only dost thou adore her, nor dost thou know that fame is not success. Moreover, know this, that all men cannot be ar- tists, nor are only thou blest to whom genius is given. Every man has his gift. Peter hast many gifts thou hast not and I love him and he me and some day he will be the husband of the lady of velvet. But until thou learnest the secret of true love thou can ' st not be happy with the vivacious lady for thou only adoreth her. She stopped, then softly laughed at his bitter look. She rose and bending over gently kissed his forehead, then carefully led the way from the drawing room. He bent low over her hand and kissed it. Goodbye dear knight, she said. You go to Prance to light? Remember me. I can not but help it, lady of velvet. Goodbye. And going forth to battle, in love I wish only for you to know that at last I have gained success for I loved and from thee I learned. The lady of velvet turned from her reading of the dear knight ' s last goodbye with glistening eyes. I adored him and knew he would die with fame, but I love thee, my Peter. ELEANOR BRADFORD. mini! illinium mil mini 1 1 nil I mi I nil Mill III! Mill illliiil GERALDINE ADAMS Give every man thine ear but few thy voice There ' s something of an elfin youthfulness about Geraldine. She has a piquancy ex- tremely interesting — the kind of a person who always does her part in a quiet, unassuming manner and with such becoming ' modesty. Rather shy and retiring, petite, and demure with a gentle manner and flashing a most ingenious smile. THELMA ANDERSON Virtue is beauty Sec. of the Music Club (4) One look at Thelma ' s dancing eyes and you have an idea of her colorful vitality. She is very sincere, capable, and persevering and cer- tainly a most efficient secretary of the Music Department. Her curly hair and twinkle in her eyes combined with her spontaneous sense of humor and vivacity have won her many friends. JAMES ANDREWS Alone I did it Operetta (1) Ath. Mgr. (3) (4) Gen. Council (4) In talking to Jimmie one is inclined to think him right and the world wrong. He lias a talent for explaining a subject in an intelligent and convincing way so that it is comprehended by others. Good looking, teas- ing, and feigning a rather worldly attitude, Jimmy claims he doesn ' t like the girls — but sometimes we wonder. GRACE BAKER My crown is my heart Grace has a grave and dignified mien with loads of excitement and pep smouldering un- derneath that Grace is too modest, perhaps, to let out. She is quiet and unassuming with a saving sense of humor. Just when one might least susepct it, one catches a glimpse of .charming wit that makes one forget she ever was the least bit retiring. KATHERINE BALLANTINE She is wise, if I may judge of her Wooster High School (1) (2) Katherine has the prettiest complexion imaginable. Perhaps that is the reason she seems always so happy. At unexpected mom- ents one is apt to hear that contagious giggle of hers and always there is a snap in her eyes that belies the impression one might gather from her manner that she is retiring and reserved NAOMI BANKS A daughter of the Gods, divinely tall Operetta (1) Glee Club (1) (2) (|3) (4) Piano Depf. (3) (4) Ex. Com. (4) Debate (13) Tall, stately and impressive, with a most graceful and distinguisheud manner. She is a very versatile person with a colorful and rather exotic personality, capable of doing whatever she undertakes. She is studious, with a decided faculty of imparting her knowl- edge to others and making herself understood — and a musician of talent. THEODORE HANKS Fain would I woo her Rather socially inclined is our Teddy, as his appearance might suggest. He is a good-natured, easy-going, careless, indifferent fellow, one who is never excited, but com- placent always. A slow but sure sort of a fellow, although apparently rather bashful, is quite a lady ' s man. BEATRICE BARDEN must become a borrower of the night for an hour or twain Wooster High School (1) (2) Conservative, loyal and very lovable is Beatrice. She is studious, accurate, and calm, and possesses a very tenacious brain. Sincer- ity, earnestness and determination are delight- fully combined There is a trace of indomita- ble will in Beatrice. One feels that perse- verance by her will gain for her anything she really wants. SHIRLEY BEAM How far that little candle throws its beam Shirley combines indifference and fervor in his countenance. There ' s just enough vitality in his eyes to show a whole-hearted enthusi- asm for the things he ' s really interested in. He has red hair that more than one girl en- vies and a natural and unaffected air that commands everyone ' s admiration. CLARA BEARD ' Thy virtues spoke of and thy beauty sounded ' Clara would certainly straightway have won the heart of Titian, for at the first glimpse of her radiant hair, his enthrallment would have been complete. One has only to hear Clara ' s infectious laughter and join in, for here is the gayest of dispositions that loves to laugh, joke and talk, and seems to make everything a 1 ark. LUCILE BECKER A light heart lives long Treas. of Blue Triangle (4) There is a lack of formality about Luclle that is charming. It is difficult to Hud her in a serious mood. She is always jolly and gay and anxious to please — and succeeds very well in pleasing. This combined with her extra- ordinary talent for drawing surely insures her a successful future. ROBERT BELL Let Hercules himself do what he may Football (:i) (4) M Association (3) (4) Hi- Y (: ' ,) (4) V. Pres. Class (4) Gen. Coun- cil (4) Bob ' s unlimited supply of good-nature makes everything more or less of a lark for him whether it be playing football, taking charge of the class, attending student organi- zations, teasing the girls, or taking it easy — always the same spirit, the secret of his pop- ularity And if ever a bell rang true Bub does. NAOMI BENDER your heart ' s desire be with you There is nothing meteoric nor smashing in Naomi ' s ways, but a winsome sympathetic ap- peal and an understanding interest. She is the embodiment of generous courtesy and sympathy. She has humanness. Absolutely true blue and dependable, a girl, than whom there is no more loyal supporter in the school. CHARLOTTE BERLO The people praise her for her virtues Energy personified in this young woman. She is a good conversationalist for there is sort of a subdued excitement about her all the time that bespeaks her enthusiasm and inter- est for whatever she ' s talking about. She has jolly brown eyes that twinkle when she talks and adds zest to her conversational abil- ity. ISABEL BOGAN You are full of pretty answers Izzy is our social butterfly! Dances and parties — how she loves them! But no wonder! Isabel just seems made for such things with her laughing eyes and gay smile. Along with her love of a good time is a happy faculty of separating work from play and being efficient in both. j 1 1 i lm i iii i mi in i in i 1 1 bit i in iiilllllllll I mini minium inniiimininnni LOUISE BOOTH ' ' Is she not passing fair? Operetta (1) Glee Club (2) (3) Pres. Com. Club (4) Gen. Council (4) Junior Play Louise ' s accomplishments are many and di- verse. Her histronic ability is remarkable, and her soprano voice is no average one. She isn ' t afraid of Lyon ' s at all. In fact, she chums with one. Pretty, popular and vivacious with plenty of snap and dignified when she wants to be — a girl with personality. GLADYS BOWER ' Still in thy right hand, carry gentle peace Pretty? Very charming? Quite a possessor of cool sanity and good judgment. She has a gentle dignity of such poised ways. She is consistent and evenly balanced, so kindly in character and life. Her eyes have a winsome appeal that attracts one at once and makes one want to know better this interesting per- sonality. ELIZABETH BOYER Constant you are Lizzies slang is the richest thing ever and she ' s infectiously funny. As for frank- ness! The laurels surely go to her along that line. Drollery and snap characterize this fun loving Senior who is always playing a joke on someone. But in spite of all her love of fun, Lizzie admits she ' s quite sophisticated. ELEANOR BRADFORD Alike but oh how different Opperetta (1) Class V. Pres. (1) Sec. of Art Club (4) V. Pres. of Blue Tri. (3) Pres. of Blue Tri. (4) Hypho (4) Debate (2) (3) (4) Her intelligent brow and sensitive mouth proclaim her the patrician. She is brilliant- ly clever, of sparkling mind and lightning wit. Books, plays, politics and pictures — she loves them all and can talk intelligently on any of them. Temperamentally disposed with an ar- tists talent both for drawing and writing; MARION BRADFORD There was language in her cheek, her lip, her eye Operetta (1) Sec. of Class (2) Blue Tri. Cabi- net (3) Junior Play, Gen. Council (3) (4) Ed. in Chief Annual (4) Senior Play To those who know Marion there is no doubt as to the success of the Annual. She is a typical example of the spirit of ' 23. Clever, witty, and always smiling she goes o n with her work from clay to day, and her untiring efforts have made this book possible. CLARK BROOK The very pink of courtesy Junior Play Hi-Y (4) Annual Staff Gen Coun- cil (4) Pin and Ring Committee V. Pres. Art Club Clark goes through life with an air of quiet unaffected assurance. He is quite an adroit flatterer and always at his polite best. He reads much, is a great observer and looks quite through the deeds of others Exceed- ingly wis-3, fair-spoken, and persuading, he is a fine student and a poet — if you please. WILBERTA BROWN The best conditioned and unwearied spirit in doing courtesies It ' s the most fun to hear Wilberta talk be- cause she has a lovely drawling voice and a way of hanging on to every word. She is one of those persons who has a good word for everyone and an enthusiasm which she keeps in admirable check — a truly lovable girl whose interest and sympathy for others is remarka- ble. IRVIN BRUNE That one may smile, and smile and bea villian Football (2) (3) (4) Capt. (4) Class Pres. (2) Pres. of Gen. Council (4) Hi-Y (3) (4) Pres. (4) Basketball (4) Brune! any job! pep and enthusiasm! suc- cess. He is noted for so many things that it is mighty hard to know just where to start singing his praises. Take your choice — athlet- ics, student organizations, class room work, or social affairs and you ' ll find Brune a leader. Could mortal ask more? MYRON BURNESON Most like a gentleman Opperetta (1) Glee Club (2) (4) Sec. Music Club (3) Hvpho (4) Pres Music Club (4) Hi-Y (4) Bernie has a keen sense of humor and a spontaneity of wit that makes him the gayest of companions. His eyes just speak his per- sonality for they ' re never without that jolly twinkle that makes you happy just to look at them. Mi ' . Chubb ' s right hand man — and the Caruso of the class. JOE CAIRNS music be the food of love, play on Orchestra (1) (2) (3) (4) Glee Club (2) (4) Music Ex. Com. (4) Quartet (4) Annual Staff (4) Joe carries himself with an unmistakable air. He possesses poise and dignity; his bear- ing has eminent distinction. He has the hand- someness of a Greek God and a bit of the devil-may-care manner about him. His abilities tend toward the ' musical line. He can delight with his violin as well as his voice. mimimiinii inn iiiimmiimimimimim nun imiiiiiiniimiiiiiniii NELLIE CAIRNS For thv counsel ' s good Nellie is the personification of loyalty to her school. A modest and dependable girl in- terested in all school activities, is keen wheth- er they be scholastic or otherwise. She will un- doubtedly be a successful business woman for she possesses earnestness and determination and is always ready to accommodate others. PAYE CHAMBERLAIN True she is, as she has proved herself Paye is an example of droll humor that is ever new and entertaining. She has the most capable and independent of manners and at the same time the ability to be the life of the party without once becoming ruffled or ever losing her poise and sereneness. Of whom else could that be said? MADALINE CHRONISTER Those about her, from her shall read the per- fect wavs of honor Modesty keeps Madeline from pushing her- self forward. But when a true, kind-hearted frie nd is needed just call on Madaline for she ' s always unselfish and true-blue, fair and square in her every thought. Her smile and pleas- ant manner are indicative of a strong person- ality and of true friendliness. WALLACE CONKLIN So wise, so young, do never live long Wallace has an argumentative mind and a good one too. He uses his line to good advant- age with the ladies. Of a live, optimistic na- ture and a possessor of unbounded self ' -cOnfi- dence. He is one of those persons who has a bit of a clever comment on every occasion and puts everyone at his ease the moment you know him. MARY COURTNEY know she is not ignorant Mary ' s personality would win her a place anywhere, and her decided brilliancy is a qual- ity much envied by all of us to whom A ' s are rare gifts. It is in the most gentle of voices that Mary expresses some explanation so bril- liant that had it been ours most of us would have shouted it from the housetops — but Mary doesn ' t have to. DOROTHY CRAIG The fringed curtains of their eves advance It is needless for us to mention Dorothy ' s prettiness for that is easily perceived. An in teresting and charming companion for she is always ready to laugh with you or listen to you. She is retiring and practical and one who does not intrude her views although they are worthy of attention. ESTHER CRALL Not stepping o ' er the bounds of modest v Gen. Council (4) Esther ' s genial and smiling disposition, may be read in her eyes. One of those persons who never wearies of doing courtesies for oth- ers. Conscientious and sincere, a student whom teachers and pupils as well love to have in their classes and a most able representative of the commercial department in the council this year. LOUISE CRIDER Too sweet were ne ' er so fatal Large quantities f loyalty and cheerful un- selfishness sprinkled with bashfulness and just a tiny weeny dash of impulsiveness. Mix them all together and you have one of the most lovable girls imaginable — and such is Louise. Her ever cheerful smile which is always ready to be bestowed upon some lucky friend is a mark of the worth of her friendship. RUTH CULBERTSON In sweet meditation, fancv free See that twinkle in Ruth ' s eye? It ' s al- ways there and indeed Ruth can entertain anyone with her endless line of jokes and stories. As for academic honors! Well, get- ling A ' s just comes natural to her. Her chief delight is to lose herself in other men ' s minds -- And sh! She ' s going to be an author herself some day. WALTER CUNNING Man, proud man Walter was never known to be without one of his lessons. He is quiet but not retiring, with slow deliberate actions. A hard working fellow who approaches everything with the same sincerity. He is very shy and bashful but gives the girls a good bit of attention in spite of that. IIIIIIIIIMIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIMIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIMIIMIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIUIIMIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIMIIMIIIMIIMI CLARK DAVIS A man he is of ' honesty and trust Clark has more snap than almost any other ten people put together — a capital en- tertainer. He has an argumentative mind and can debate on anything — that is, providing he ' s interested in it. And persevering!!! He ' d stick to his side forever! His curly hair and broad smile together with his conversational ability make him popular. EMMA DENT Brought up as best becomes a gentle woman The delightful part of Emma is her shy modesty. She is positively the most unsophis- ticated person we ever saw — and as charm- ingly wistful. She is unusually pretty, quiet, retiring, unassuming, and rather bashful. She doesn ' t lack a sense of humor, yet it is always the more serious side that seems to come to the surface. GERTRUDE DICKEY Light she was and like a fairy Although Gertie has not been a partici- pator in many activities of the school she has had many outside interests to claim her atten- tion. Two twinkling eyes, and one saucy little smile, a quick, clever mind and a good many individual little mannerisms are her rno.it dis- tinguished features. EARL DICKSON Every man has his faults and honesty is his Mandolin Club (3) (4) Which shall he be, architect, doctor or en- gineer. That is the question which is con- fronting him. However, without any doubt, no matter which proves to be his choice Earl will be a success for he has the makings of a man. It is a well known fact that valuable objects come in small packages and Earl is no exception. DOROTHY EBERT Her wondrous qualities and mild behavior Operetta (1) Dorothy ' s unassuming friendliness has won her a place in a good many hearts. Determi- nation, leliableness, and enthusiasm which Dorothy wisely keeps controlled make all things possible to her. She is conscientious and serious at times but the most interesting of companions and the most loyal of friends. CRETA EGGERT Here ' s metal more attractive Creta belongs to the type of students who slights neither lessons nor fun but is efficient in both. It has been said that wit and good looks never go together. Creta is the excep- tion that proves that rule, for who can deny that this gently dignified yet spirited young person is the embodiment of both? LOUISE EMERY What a ease am I in Orchestra (I) (2) Hypho (2) (4) Annual (4) Class Sec. (4) Louise possesses a charming magnetism that hits you when you encounter it and that you cant ' forget. She is amazingly frank and direct and has a way of always doing the un- expected, of ignoring conventions. Yet, with her impulsiveness she has perfect poise and unbounded self-confidence. GLENN ERDENBERGER They that stand high have many blasts to shake them Class Vice Pres. (4) Hypho Staff (3) Business Manager Hypho (4) Student Council (4) You may not agree witli him afterwards but unless you ' ve prepared your resistance, you ' ll be borne down in a minute when Glenn gets started. His business-like decisiveness and self-assurance are enough to sweep any- one off his feet — a true business genius. A good conversationalist and as well developed socially as mentally. DARRELL FAUST For I ' m nothing if not critical If you were naturally as solemn as an owl Darrell could make you laugh. Possessed of an unusual wit and a highly developed sense of humor. Darrell is a regular circus in himself when he gets started. He is true to his friends — and a friend worth having indeed. RAY FIELDS A merrier man. I never spent an hour ' s talk withal Ray is easily embarrassed — of a shy, retir- ing nature, but a perfect scream when he sets himself to entertaining. There ' s just a bit of the h appy-go-lucky about Ray. His actions are natural and unaffected. A steady self-possessed, discriminating fellow with the prettiest rosy cheeks you could imagine. iMiiiiiiMiiiniMiir in i ■ ' ' Ni ' iiimiiMiimmnii ROBERT FORSYTHE He is well paid that is well satisfied Bob is oddly unsophisticated, humorous in fits and starts. One might term him rather dignified, yet he frequently unbends to add zest to a.n occasion. Generous as the day is long, he has moments of lazy serene repose and languorous indifference, but usually his attentions are engaged in some unique mis- chief. HELEN FOX What my dear lady Disdain, are you still lov- ing Blue Ti ' i Cabinet (4) Hypho (4) Pin and Ring Committee. Basket Ball ( ' ■ ' ) Helen has a way of covering up her work so that to the casual observer her main occu- pation is having a good time. She is so well- read and naturally brilliant herself that some- times one suspects her of laughing at us com- mon beings. But then, that ' s one of Helen ' s salient characteristics, a highly developed sense of humor. HAROLD FRASER He is a great observer With the reddest of hair, the bluest of eyes and the most mischevious of spirits Harold is an addition to any class — and Quick!! He has a problem all figured before any one else has even started. Everything he does is like that although he too has moments of distinct serene repose. ESTHER FRIETCHEN What ' s mine is yours, and what is yours is mine There is an instant allure in Esther ' s smile. She has a reserved and gentle manner and a generous accommodating personality. One of the sweetest girls in the class. She is of the type who is always am icable, friendly and cor- dial and possesses appealing modesty that one cannot help but notice RUTH GARVER In faith, lady, you have a merry heart Basketball (3) (4) The list of Ruth ' s friends might be mis- taken for the catalogue of students in M. H. S. She typifies the ideal high school girl, posess- ing good judgment, good humor, and good looks — and when she gets upon the basket ball floor she displays not only admirable fighting spirit but clean standards of fair play as well. !

She has a happy-go-lucky, rathe r willful nature but always appears calm and unhurried. As a songster she deserves mention tor her voice is truly unusual. BEATRICE GERRELL She was the fairest creature in the world Beatrice has an air that suggests enormous self-will. Her bearing is of regal dignity and grace. She is reserved, self-possessed, always methodical and the very personification of neatness. .All these tilings put together are the secret of her rather subtle charm. ERCELL GREENLEE Men are but gilded loam or painted clav Sic. of Blue Tii. (4) The name, Ercell, with its suggestions of elfs Mid fairies dancing on the green just seems to typify this maiden of the twinkling eyes and sparkling laugh. She is of quick mind and bubbling humor, yet, one who thinks well before she acts and then acts with precision. LAVERNE GUENTHER do proclaim one honest man Laverne is positively the most methodical person you could imagine and consequently a very good student. He is natural! and re- served, touched with a rather subtle selfcon- sciousness, but carrying himself with a great deal of poise, nevertheless — shrewd, straight forward and frank and always the gentleman. THELMA HAFPA A maiden never bold Thelma ' s quiet air hides much of a charac- ter that is sincere and full of real worth. She is blessed with a calm, deliberate gentleness of manner, unparalelled in most of us. She is sedate, precise and neat with primness and winsomeness that characterize this bit of a Senior. And a friend indeed. iMIIimiMIIMIIIMIIIIIimiimiMIIIIIIIMIIIIIIIll iiiimiiimiimiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiimiimiiimiiiiiiim MARY HAGERMAN falseness cannot come from thee She is an unassuming, retiring, quiet sort of a person, a wee bit staid, but underneath there is something else, something with a chuckle in it. One loves her in one ' s classes for she ' s always there with perfect recitations. It is what goes on inside her head that makes her fascinating. LEE HAMMETT He was a man, take him for all in all Lee always has something worth while to say if you can only break down his wall of shyness. He possesses astute humor and wit and appears good-natured always. The wel- come traits of frankness and sincerity belong to him and he is ever boyishly straightfor- ward and genuine. LOUISE HANCOCK We are such stuff as dreams are made of Operetta (1) Sec. of Class (3) Sec. of Blue Tri. (4) Annual (4) Louise ' s eyes proclaim her the dreamer, an artist who is gifted in painting exquisite world pictures. She possesses an unalterable calm which you cannot shake. Her ' s is a dis- tinctive and exotic charm which is almost oriental. She is reserved, slow, and sensitive with a decided will of her own, a bit ruthless sometimes but altogether fascinating. IRENE HARBAUGH Ever beloved, and loving ' Irene proves the old, old proverb that You can ' t judge a man by his size. Petite and pleasing always, a winsome lassie who though apparently very reserved and dignified speaks fire and enthusiasm in her snappy brown eyes. And when she gets started! Few can display more than she. RALPH HARDY To give the world assurance of a man Glee Club (1) Football (3) (4) Hi-Y (4) Ralph is more genuine than garroulous. more athletic than aesthetic. He has been a venerable football hero possessing that happy combination of strength and grit so essential to the game. He is self-contained, steady, and business-like, but not one to let a joke slide by unseen. lllllllllilimllimiiilliiimiiimliill I iiillluiliiiimiluiln iiiiiiiiiiiiiilliillllilllllllllllllllllllllll MARGARET HEICHEL The grace of heaven enwheel thee round ' Gay, laughing always, her pride seems to be in sustaining her good nature. There is a sparkling bouyaney about her that bespeaks her perfect good-nature. As for a more loyal girl it is doubtless if one could be found. Prank, sincere, and constant. Could one give higher praise? LEROY HENDERSON At fools I laugh, nor fear them Orchestra (2) (3) (4) Band (3) (4) Hi-Y (4) Roy ' s blessed above others with infectious good humor and a playful spirit. A patient, likable, uncomplaining fellow. A bit bashful until his junior year when he recovered re- markably. He is a thorough, willing work- er in the class room, in the orchestra, or any place where he is called to do his part. DEAN HERROLD Lee, what a grack was seated on this brew The ideal High School boy — more modest, retiring, even diffident than a score of others with a fraction of his popularity. Always straight forward and honest and the kind of a fellow who ' d share his last penny. Possesses a shrewd, solemn way which makes it doubly funny. MAE HERRING Present mirth hath present laughter It would be very easy to imagine Mae very, very good like the little girl with the curl in the middle of her forehead, but to imagine her horrid would be quite impossible. The twinkle in her eye and the lovable sparkle of her smile proclaim her the gayest of the gay. CLARENCE HIEN Mu voice is lusty Hi-Y (2) (3) (4) Vice Pres. (2) Operetta (1) Cheerleader (2) (3) (4) M. H. Asso- ciation (3) (4) Hienie, our cheerleader, needs no intro- duction. Hienie can make more fun at a party than one who does not know can imag- ine. Everyone likes this good-looking fellow, and his services have turned many apparent athletic defeats into victories. Can ' t you see Hienie swimming in the mud in the Ash- land game of ' 21 cheering the team to vic- tory? mimimiimiii i i i: i illillllil I JERALDINE HILL A maid so tender, fair and happy Lansing High School (1) Charlotte High School (2) Ashland High School (3) Jeraldine — with tresses and eyes like the potts describe in their verses. Jeraldine — but here let ' s say Jerry — a - ways brimming over with effervescent good nature and enthusiasm. Although she has been with us just a part of her junior and senior years we thank our lucky stars that Jerry has come back to graduate with us. ADELINE HOFFMAN A maiden never bold As sweet as the maiden of the old, old song Our Adeline has not only her disposition of which to be proud. Trustworthiness, enter- prise, true friendliness, and we might add many more to the list of Adelines ' character- istics. She does not trifle in anything, but sincerity marks everything she does. IRENE HOFFMAN ' She that was ever fair and never proud We all sit in awe and admiration at Irene ' s undisturbed and poised manner, for it isn ' t as if she were one of those persons who is cold or hasn ' t any humor or any friends. Irene isn ' t — and indeed the number of her friends will show her rank when it comes to pure lovableness and geniality. MARCELLA HOFFMAN And she is exceeding wise Our auburn beauty defies the proverb that beauty and brains do.n ' t go together. She has a reserved and discriminating air that shows grace and distinction. A possessor of a quick brain, gifted with tenacity, one who memorizes rapidly and never forgets what she learns — an undoubted success as a business woman. REID HOMERICK like this place and willinglp would waste mv time in it Reid doesn ' t see why boys want to fool with girls — one ' s enough. It seems as though nothing ever disturbs this sprightly, witty fel- low who takes things as they come. He ' s sel- dom seen serious, always jovial and merry usually laughing a persistent smile that just seems won ' t rub off. I!llllllinil ' ' lll III ,IMI II ' ll : II II ill ill HI ' lll ' III III!

(4) Glee Club (1) (I) Hypho (4) Selby has a languidly racy, clever, sophis- ticated vocabulary; a keen, incisive mind and a fearless way of blurting out his opinions. Extraordinarily talented musically; he can play the piano in such a way that your ' re glad to be alive just to listen to him. Brilliant, well-read and somewhat of a dilettante- small wonder he ' s a social lion . DOROTHY HUNTER Her fact the book of praises Operetta (1) All the good fairies must have been in at- tendance at Dorothy ' s christening for the rich gifts bestowed upon her are many and varied — efficiency, beauty, and sparkling hu- mor — all these belong to her. Although most capable of business duties yet business life will probably not claim this most lovable of girls. RUTH HURSH All the contagion of the south-light in you Dili you ever know a more wonderfully dispositioned or more lovable person than Ruth? She ' s just the sort to whom you go with your confidences, for she ' s always ready to give I hat sympathy which everyone needs now and then. As a loyal and helpful member of ' 213 — she ' s been invaluable for her aid in the social activities of the class. HARLEY IHRIG Speak of me as I am There is subtlety of imagination and dis- tinction about Harley. He is a sly, rather bashful-mannered person but always natural — one of those fellows who can ' t pose. And when it comes to hooks!! He ' s a regular liter- ary connoisseur and has read everything from Peter Pan to Transcaucasia and Ararat. HENRY ISALY ' am strong and lusty Class Pres. (3) Football (3) (4) Basketball (4) Hi-Y (3) (4) Gen. Council (3) (4) Annual Staff. Confidence in his good looks and attrac- tiveness make him a dangerous proposition for susceptible females. He is a worker with a whole-heartedness that explains his success. Mentally, socially and athletically he ranks high — and certain it is, Hen ' s popularity asserts his ability. I ' i lll ' IIIKIIMIIIIIIirilllll I : Ill) : II , I! .: i 1 Hi DAISY JOHNSON Full of wise saws and modern instances Daisy is one of those indefatigable work- ers who upholds the honor of the school by scholastic endeavor. When she makes up her mind to do something, one can gamble that it will be done, well, too. In addition to her ability, perseverance, and thoroughness, Daisy is an interesting companion with undeniable humor and unselfish nature. GLENN JOLLEY shall not look upon his like again Our class president, the shepherd of 23 which goes to verify the proverb that The best will eventually be chosen. The girls worry a lot more about Glenn than he does about them. He is loved by every one. And where, oh where will any other class find so capable a leader, so efficient a manager, so fine a friend? VIOLA JONES I feel within me a still and quiet conscience Whether her blue eyes are truly demure or looking mischievous thoughts we don ' t know, for she keeps us guessing. She has a very reserved and reticent air and is exacting and precise in everything she does. And who wouldn ' t like to have that gentle dignity of bearing that she wears? REX KALLMERTON Silence is the perfectest herald of ' ov Rex isn ' t half so unsophisticated as he ap- pears. He may look quiet but he knows a lot. Rex ' s friends have a real friend in Rex for in an unassuming and unostentatious way he makes his friendship count by understanding sympathy and good sportmanship. MARY KARCHER And fair she is, if that mine eves be true Operetta (1) Pres. Music Club (3) Hostess Music Club (4) Hypho (1) (4) Gen Coun- cil (3) The girls might all envy Mary ' s good looks if it wasn ' t for the fact that they all like her so well themselves. She ' s pretty, she ' s neat, she ' s constant, she ' s sweet. Indeed it would require one to be quite a spendthrift in ad- jectives to fitfully describe Mary of the blue eyes and golden hair. ELIZABETH KEGG Her voice is ever t entle and low Operetta (1) Annual Staff (4) Elizabeth ' s winsome smile and dainty man- nerisms have made more than one heart go fiippety flop. Rather demure and docile yet with plenty of go. Always impeccable, fond of lads and fashions and a great lover of beautiful things. Affectionate, generous- hearted, easy-going and extremely popular socially. EVERETT KERR He ' s not only a chip off the old block but the old block himself Lebanon High School (1) (2) Meotomo Coun- cil (3) Editor High School News (4) Pin and Ring Committer ( I) Here he comes! A member of ' 23 who shows very prominently in scholastic circles. He is the type of a student any class may be proud of and an efficient editor of the school notes in the Mansfield News. He is calm, just, and accurate with a grace, dignified demeanor that is occasionally broken by an incongruous gleam of humor. THELjMA KICK My name is subdued By a girls actions rather I ban what she says — so shall ye judge her that ranks Thelma high for always proper, always accompanied by logical good judgment and tranquil candor. She is always unhurried, poised and self-possesed, but the most friendly and pleasant of com- panions. nd certainly i actions are MAE KING To thine own self be true M stands for merry, modest and mirthful. A for amicable, agreeable and affectionate. E for engaging, earnest and enterprising. Put them all together they spell Mae and form a fitting description of this girl who knows indeed how to be an affable compan- ion and a true friend. KENNETH KIPLINGER Exceedingly well read Hypo (1) Ath. Mgr. (4) Gen. Council (4) Hi-Y (4) Debate (4) Kennie might be termed the best read fellow in the class. Without being overly studious, he seems to absorb knowledge. A brilliant conversationalist with an erratic wit that displays itself when you ' re least expecting it — and one who can analyze others motives perfectly an exotic combination of in- difference and enthusiasm. II ' II II ' III EDWARD KISSELL He is one, the truest mannered Mark you this man well for he typifies the good student, the heart-breaker, the unassum- ing friend all joined together in one modest senior. Mild mannered, steady, a consistent fellow whose very smile will put any one in good humor — and indeed ' tis quite fatal to certain fair lassies. ELEANOR KNELL The hand that made you fair has made you good The unpretentious quietness of some people is deceiving, and one cannot but believe it when one sees Elanor ' s eyes begin to snap and her jolly smile break forth. She is a happy combination of mischievous deviltry and cap- able ability with just a tiny bit of bashful- ness mixed in. BLAKE KOHLER Men of few words are the best men Ah! Here is the great tit-tat-toe cham- pion! It ' s Blake ' s quality of thinking things out that enables him to claim this title. And that isn ' t joking either, for Blake is one of those steady fellows who always works things out in a philosophical way. And in addition to common sense he possesses unaffected hu- mor that is delectable. JOHN KOLB Come what come may Here ' s a fellow who is admired by all. He ' s known for his willingness to enter into things and boasting services are as typical of him as his curly hair. It is not surprising, there- fore, to find him in diverse activities. His smile proves to be his best index. Quiet, un- assuming, ministering men are loved. ABRAM LANTZ But screw your courage to the sticking place Did you ever see Abe with his dog? Well, he ' s got one and a boy ' s not a boy unless he loves a dog, so Abe ' s a first class boy. When it comes to bowling he ' s expert. He can roll ' em straight and true every time. We all hope his life runs just that way for everyone respects and likes Abe. iiiiiii i mum milium inn i i iiiiimmiiiiiiimiimii n HUBER LANTZ Give us free scope Orchestra (1) Mandolin Club (2) Yell Leader (3) Hub needs no introduction. Few there be who haven ' t seen a manifestation of his pep and spirit at the games, or revelation of his blithe and merry spirit at a party — or an exhibition of his hearty laugh and ability to create new vexations with which to tease the girls. MARGARET LEOPOLD Music hath charms to soothe the savage beast Margaret is the sort of girl you like to have for a friend, for although she has many diversified interests of her own, she ' s always ready to listen to yours. She has ability to charm us with her singing, to amuse us with her mirthful giggle, and impress us with her studious attitude. JOHN LEPPO He does not boast John, the serious, John, the chaste, John the jovial, John the — , but this will never do for of course, we ' d never be able to end the list of John ' s worthy attributes nor ever do justice to his serious, steady, dependability of spirit or his droll wit and humor. So suffice it to say he ' s a friend worth having. WILLIAM LONG He bears himself with honorable action Football (4) Although upon first appearance William might present a rather austere and formida- ble front, when you know him he isn ' t a bit that way. It fact, he has the ability to be a most interesting companion as well as hav- ing a competent, trustworthy, clear-brained way of doing things. ALTHEA LORENTZ There are no tricks in plain and simple faith Without, a quiet reserve; within, a thoughtful and conscientious mind. Althea ' s reticence conceals a friendly, lovable dispo- sition marked by primness and precision. No matter upon what sort of an occasion, she always retains that unruffled front. She is true to her friends and sincere in everything she does. HELEN LYONS Friendship is constant in all other things Mandolin Club (1) Junior Play (3) Annual Staff Helen is famous for: (1) her rep as a good sport; (2) her ability to do things and do them well, including her work on the an- nual; (3) that clever, pert, little smile of hers that corresponds with her mannerisms; (4) her ever present gentle dignity that does not in the remotest way suggest naughtiness or coldness CATHERINE MATZ lam constant as the northern star ' Orchestra (1) (2) (3) Catherine ' s poised and capable manner is the admiration of the whole class. She has a genial, sunny disposition, and always looks on the bright side of life, and so her dimples are usually in evidence. A violinist of no small ability and a most dependable and loyal girl. FRANK MAXWELL am ashamed that women are so simple Prank has the air of business-like decisive- ness and is always in such perfect good hum- or. Has calm good sense — a very rare trait, and takes the hughest pains to accommodate people — probably the reason he is such a lika- ble fellow. He takes zealous care- of a fan- cied dignity and is quite a lady ' s man, we un- derstand. EDWIN MILLER Oh sleep! Oh gentle sleep Ed ' s a lion among the women although, of course, he doesn ' t give them too much encour- agement. He is free and easy regular sort of fellow who doesn ' t believe in taking anything too seriously. He ' s a good student, a clever companion, a lady ' s man. Gee, Ed ' s a dandy fellow! MARY MILES The gods with safety stand about thee When it comes to describing somebody like Mary, we feel our incompetency, for such pleasant reserve and dignity in additio.n to reliableness and trustworthiness really require an author of books to do them justice. P. S. Oh yes, we forgot to say Mary ' s lots of fun, too, and a staunch friend Illlllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll! ' I I HI ' SADIE BELLE MILLER Dart not scornful glances from those eyes Blue Tri. Cabinet (4) Sadie Belle, sweet and winsome — the best of sports for everything worth while. Charm, humor — we admire them in her but even more do we admire her standards as immaculate as her appearance. And, too, among her un- forgetable qualities we must add those rosy cheeks, that genial smile, and the perfect good nature of hers. CLARA MOORE Give me leave to speak mv mind Here ' s Clara! Yes, she ' s the girl with those pretty brown eyes, those favorite, graci- ous manners, and that careful, fastidious way of doing things. She ' s the girl who might well serve as a model of reserved and easy bearing and friendly disposition. Yes, Clara ' s the girl we all love because — because she ' s Clara. EDITH MOORE An inviting eve; and vet, methinks. right mod- est Blue Tri. Cabinet (4) Edie must stand for charm in some language. Fascinating appearance and the sweetest sort of charm together with a de- lightful amount of good common sense are her chief characteristics. Although pleasingly dignified at times, Edith ' s is not a serious- sided nature. Tactful, sympathetic, and sin- cere — naturally popular with both girls and boys. PAUL MURPHY know him not, hut I have heard of him Football (4) One of the brightest fellows in M. H. S. and a travelling salesman of the future. Won- derfully dispositioned with a heart as big as all outdoors and a smile for everyone, Has beau-ti-fcl red hair and- one of those cute chuckles. He is loyal, har d-working and per- severing — one of our reserve men. rhea McGregor The gentleness of all the gods go with thee Rhea is a person of strong tempermental reserve. It is difficult to describe her nature, a nature which holds itself aloof from others by perpetual kindness. She knows how to draw a line between things that really count and trivial matters. iii ■ mm RUTH McCLURE Vera sweet and contagious, is faith Sober, steadfast and demure. These words were written by Shakespeare years and years before Ruth ever was born. Yet how truly they fit her. She belongs to that dependable class of people that never fail. She is of a reserved manner, ever loyal, practical and conscientious to the nth degree. MARIAN McGINLEY But thu eternal summer shall not fade Analyzing Maid Marian is ind eed a puzzle for she has so many lovable traits and singu- lar characteristics. Naturally calm and poised as one should be you have only to see Marian at a game or party, bubbling over with that unforced humor of hers, to realize that hers is not a narrow nor one-sided per- sonality. LEONA McGINTY To beguile manu, and be beguiled bv one Nature has bestowed upon Leona one of the most smiling, genial natures imaginable. Some people are alive without living, but this can never be said of Leona for one is constantly amazed at her ever beaming coun- tenance that sees something to be happy about every minute in the day. bertha Mclaughlin She ' s a most exquisite lady It ' s a puzzle how Bert kept from laugh- ing long enough to get her picture taken. Of a wide-awake, optimistic nature that as- serts itself in her laughing eyes and witty comments. Possessor of a bubbling humor and a dynamic and vivid spirit that is a mar- vel to her classmates. floyd Mclaughlin He is a great observer Operetta (1) Ath. Mgr. (4) Gen Council (4) Hi-Y (4) Everyone knows Flip by his laugh. There ' s a contagion in it too, that makes everyone have a good time when he ' s around. He ' s continually letting fall witticisms, never seeming to run out of them, and when it comes to real works! He ' s a humdinger and one to be depended upon. iimiimimimiimimimiimiHiiiiiii im in 11 i inn iiiiniiiiiiiii m IRENE McMEEKEN As merrv as the dap is long Irene, a little bit of salt and sweetness - Irene, a dainty slip of rare completeness. Mannerisms, eyes of youth inviting. We got that from the song Irene and while it may seem rather impossible we think John Mc- Garthy must have known our Irene for his description quite tits. Don ' t you think so? SARAH OSTER Let all the rest give place Sarah just simply makes everyone love her, both by the smile she flashes so modestly and by the unselfish attitude of her dealings with others. Everyone might take her as a model of thoughtfulness and gentle manners. As for her smile — well, we ' ll let that speak for itself. BERTHA PALMER Speaking in deeds Though the skies should fall, Bertha would serenely pursue the even tenor of her way and work — and scarcely bother to ask the wherefore. That does not mean, however, that Bertha has no humor nor that she is always serious. One may always know when something funny has happened by that envi- able twinkle in Bertha ' s eye. LUCILE PARKER am no orator as Brutus is; I only speak right on Everyone loves Lucile — not because there ' s so much of her to love, but because what ' s there is so blamed lovable. She is a real lender when it comes to pure friendliness and pleasantness and cheerful headiness to ever be of service to others. Can you blame us for loving her? HOWARD PIERCE Men at sometime are masters of their fate Jovial, laughing and gay. Howard is al- ways engaged in some kind of merry-making. As a. tonic for downheartedness we recommend a dose of Howard, and we ' ll warrant that he can cure the bluest blues for anyone — for who could resist his happy smile and mirthful, mischievous spirit? I ' I ' li ■ ZOA PITTINGER To the maimer born There is a sort of Quaker-like charm about Zoa that is most attractive. She is always obliging and sincere with a friendly smile for everyone and with such gentle, demure ways. Thoroughly capable and deserving of a lot of credit for her typing of the Hypho this year. DOROTHY REINHART Mine honor is my life; both grow in one Hypho (4) Into everything she undertakes Dorothy- puts her whole heart, her most ardent interest and enthusiasm . She is extremely sensitive and nervous, very affectionate, modest and generous. She has naturally curly hair which is the envy of all the girls, and a kind-hearted and considerate disposition that all others wish might be theirs. MARIAN RICE That is a z ' irtuous maid Marian ' s one of those girls who doesn ' t go yelling everything she knows all over the place, nor is she a girl who does things os- tentatiously. Perhaps that is the quality that makes us respect and like her so much. At least (hat ' s one of them. Of course we couldn ' t give them all. MIRIAM RIFE A merry heart goes all the day Junior-Senior Reception Play For an interesting conversationalist, faith- ful spporter of all ' 23 activities, and a truly lovable girl, endowed indeed with beauty and wit you ' ll look long before you ' ll Snd any one better suited to these characteristics than Mim. Always plucky and smiling — no won- der is it this bob-haired bit of hilarity and real genuineness is so popular? FLORENCE RITCHIE .4s ; ' an angel dropped down from the clouds Pin and Ring Committee Personality is ordinarily a much misused word, but coupled with real ability, unselfish interest in others, and pluck it sums up the secret of Florence ' s list of friends. And she as a friend is most delightful, for the chameleon- like quality of her enables her to understand and sympathize with others. iiimiimiiiiiim iniiiiii iiiiiiiiiiini in iiii ' in iii ' ini mum iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiniii,iiiiniiiiiiiMii DALEE ROBINSON Be as pour fancies teach you DaLee is no bigger than a minute — But oh what a score of things this particular min- ute holds. Among other things a friendly, agreeable disposition and a mirthful and ever alert spirit that never slumbers, but seems imbued with vivacity and life, enough to last forever. GLENN ROBINSON Butler, Ohio (2) (3) Glenn is an individual. His silence and solemnity set him distincly apart. He is a fellow who not only has brains but uses them, in short applies himself to anything he under- takes. What he does he does with all his might and in that there is a me aning with no trifling significance. ISABEL ROBINSON Studp knows that which vet it doth not know Not the Maid of Orleans but the maid from Pavonia, but we ' ll venture to say that Joan of Arc herself was never liked any bet- ter than this gentle-mannered Senior. She seems permeated with friendliness and unruf- fled dignity for she has never been seen in any other way. RUSSEL ROSS He is a verp proper man Athletic Mgr. (3) (4) Russel is a ringleader in anything that ' s fun — a genial, smiling, joking fellow who loves to tease the girls, but who doesn ' t allow them to worry him too much. A real boy! He is modest and generous with a kind-hearted and considerate manner that makes him well liked by everyone. ALBERT ROTH The better part of valor is discretion Basketball (3) (4) Baseball (4) Hat ' s off to Al, our basket-ball hero and the ladies ' adored. The secret of his popu- larity lies in that darling smile of his. that boyish straightforward manner and — oh just the way Al has. Somehow when the strides on the floor and adroitly drops the ball through the basket, it isn ' t just the girls that yell, for everyone likes Al. inn i ' ' ■ ' ii i inn mil i mi in WILLARD RUHL The glass of fashion and the mold of form Willard might impress one as dignified and reserved in the class room — but oh man he ' s a regular Raleigh around the girls. If all the palpitation of the heart that cynical yet purely humorous smile of his and that charm- ing air have caused were dollars, Willard would outclass Rockefeller doubly. LUCILE RULEY The lady doth protest too much methinks There ' s a sparkle about Lucile — a gleam and a flash. She is always ready for fun with bubbling good humor and a rippling laugh that you ' re apt to hear any time, any- where you find Lucile. But in spite of all her life Lucile can muster up the most dignified and poisad manner imaginable when she so desires. HOWARD RUSK Our fancies are more giddy and infirn than wo- men ' s are Class Treas. (2) Glee Club (1) (2) (4) Music- Ex. Com. (2) Band (4) Ruskie! whose winning way would take Theda Bara off her guard and make Rudolph Valentino work for his money. He bangs a wicked banjo, toots a mean saxaphone and displays a most danegrous smile. He is oddly indifferent, easy-going, fun-loving and — well, we could rave all day about Ruskie but for time. BETTY SAMPSELL Frailty, thy name is woman Betty is of a temperamental disposition, enthusiastic in fits and starts. Mischief, fun- inspiring, when Betty ' s in the mood she wouldn ' t stop at anything. And say! You just ought to see her take charge of social af- fairs — there positively never was her equal. MILDRED SANDEL Exceeding wise, fair spoken, and persuading Did you ever see that sweet smile of Mil- dred ' s? Did you ever notice that fresh, mirth- ful sparkle in her eye that bespeaks her friendliness? Did you ever see the capable way in which she does her work? If you have, you can realize the impossibility of try- ing to do her justice. mini rim in. ■ minim ill HARVEY SAWHILL He was a man take him for all in all Harvey displayed his good judgment in see- ing the advantages of graduating with ' 23 and in waiting for us. He is a big jovial fel- low, with a jovial smile; yet, even then, his ability to make friends more than corresponds to his physique. He ' s not one to worry much, but accepts things as they present themselves. HENRY SCHROEDER Lowliness is voung ambition ' s ladder ' ' Such activity we have seldom seen in one person, nor so obliging and friendly a spirit, nor resourceful a mind. His eyes just twinkle you into liking him, although after you know him you coudn ' t help but do so anyway and that ' s that. LOUISE SEEMUTH It adds a precious seeing to the eye ' ' Would you like to be full of fun, good-look- ing and well-balanced? If you have such an ambition, Louise will make you a good model She has one of those confiding, sympathetic dispositions that enables her to make friends easily and a cheerful, altruistic spirit that enables her to keep them. KATHERINE SELLS A woman of quick sense Capability and Katherine are inseparable. Her determination or purpose and relable- ness of action assure the accomplishment of any task which she is asked to do. But that ' s but one side of Katherine ' s nature; her friendliness and fun-making ability demand admiration also. KENNETH SHAFFER For I am armed so strong in honest v When he grows up Kennie is going to be a civil engineer. Now, though, he is just our jolly, good-natured classmate. He possesses that indescribable, utterly elusive quality of always enjoying himself and making others have a good time, too. He has a playful, uaive spirit, and an ingenious mind for think- ing up new mischiefs. 4 hi in iiiiiiiiini mi i ill i i i iin i in LEETA SHAFER A maiden never hold Pies, of Art Club (-1) Annual Staff (-1) A deliberate, careful voice, an unusual tal- ent for (.rawing and an ineffable charm of manner — there you have Leeta.

RUTH SMITH She that could think and ne ' er disclose her mind Ruth is just backward enough, not to be too forward and just forward enough not to be too backward. Pretty good combination, is it not? But then if you knew Ruth you ' d find many more things to admire. So many more, in fact that we can ' t begin to name them.

ERMA TEETERS Yet I have in me something dangerous One feels an immediate liking for Erma, for her smile is so amiable and friendly and she has — oh, the prettiest blue eyes imagina- ble. She is always natur al, affable, and cor- dial, and devoid of petty conceits. She has a vivid enthusiasm and interest for all activi- ties of the school, and a wonderful loyalty.

She is of an even disposition, sympathetic, and so well liked that the wicked stepmother in the fairy tale, in choosing an impossible task for the prin- cess might well have set her to finding an enemy of Betty ' s, for we ' ll warrant she could never have accomplished that. RUTH TURNER Thou see ' si how diligent I am Debate In a quiet, unobtrusive manner, by constant and faithful work, Ruth has won a place of high esteem with faculty and students alike. In her studies she takes a back seat for no one. She is indeed one of those few and far between girls who has actually succeeded in mastering her studies and not becoming narrow. ; ■■...■. ' ■,.. ELSIE VANGUILDER There ' s nothing ill can dwell in such a temple When a girl of artistic and sensitive tem- perment can combine good common sense with joyous humor, you may rest assured as to her popularity. Elsie is such a girl for she is not only a good student but a person whose mirthful laughter and pleasant fun-loving spirit are thoroughly spontaneous.. The re- sult is usual? JOHN WATKINS Is not this a rare fellow, my lord Hi-Y (3) (4) Auditor of Gen. Council (4) His- torian (4) A business man clear through and the dis- tinguished auditor of the General Council. Girls don ' t influence Johnny in the least al- though they do their best, for they all admire this good-looking fellow with his quiet, poised manner. He is dignified without being cold and, above everything, extremely practical and capable. CARL WEIKERT dare do all that may become a man Carl is one of our good-looking male blonds who has the common sense and ability to sep- arate work from play. If he attains his ideal he will be Dr. Weikert some day, and if he is as loved wherever he goes as by his class- mates how can he help but be a success? NAOMI WIGTON In sweet music is such art Naomi belongs to that class of students whose work is a marvel to her classmates because she never has to bluff. She aspires to be a great musician and will undoubtedly attain that ideal. Combined with her vibrant ambition is a jolly sense of humor and the ability to be a gay companion and friend. ALVERDA WEIGAND Her heart inform her tongue Alverda is the original little gloom-killer. Every one who knows her will vouch for her inexhaustible supply of cheerfulness, her bub- bling laugh and twinkling buoyant humor. She is full of all sorts of amusing little man- nerisms. No matter how serious the occasion her smile is always on duty. I I i CHARLES WHITMAN What stronger breastplate than a heart un- tainted Football (4) A friend of his has said that Charles has more grit than any boy he knows. He is one of our reserve men and a boy who demands admiration for his pluck and nerve. .Appar- ently quiet and reserved yet one who posesses reserved enthusiasm that is admirable be- cause it is wisely bestowed. HAROLD WILLMAN Nature has framed strange fellows in her time Conscientious, hardworking, and unusually bright, Harold never fails to recite phyiscs laws and chemistry formulas by the yard — A modern Archimedes. No wonder is it he aspires to be a chemist? He is aggressive, keen and confident, one who constantly strives and inevitably achieves. LYDIA WITSCHI This above all, to thine own self be true When it comes to real work Lydia is a genius. Unprepared lessons are unknown things to her. As for thoroughness! Lydia bores right into a subject no matter how dif- ficult it is and before long has it perfectly analyzed. Pretty, discriminating, conscien- tious and efficient in many things — where ever else such a combination? LOIS WOLFF A maid that paragons description and wild fame ' ' Mandolin Club (1) (2) (3) (4) Library (3) (4) Lois just radiates efficiency and self-pos- session and well, when you think of the du- ties she assumes in the library — in such a capable manner too — one is inclined to won- der if there was ever her equal.

In fact he ' s not daunted by any physics prob- lem or radio explanation for these are the things on which he dotes. Although he ' s rather silent in classroom ' tis not any lack of knowledge.

Really an attempt to indicate the overwhelming ac- ivity of this emphatic and original young per- son is hardly within the scope of a high school vocabulary. Blessed indeed with a winning sense of humor. Practical, capable, a good student and a fascinating companion Esther defies the word limit. JOHN ZELLNER What ' s done is done We know John in two capacities — as a friend and companion and as a. musician. To say which is the most agreeable is quite impossible. He likes the girls quite well and frequently steps out among ' em — and take it from us, John knows what is what. MARY ZEIGLER No profit grows where is no pleasure taken The most extraordinary thing about Mary is her loyalty, a manifestation of which was shown in her spirit in hiking to Shelby last fall. There is that combination of sincerity and wholesomeness about her that makes one know one can depend on her. Her cheerful smile and undying patience will certainly make her a charming nurse. MADELLE ZIMMERMAN Give every man thine ear but few thv voice We must record Madelle ' s conventional dig- nity first and next that spontaneous fun that ' s lurking just beneath. She is a girl who knows how to draw a line between things that really count and trivial matters and just when to be serious and when gay.

We are sorry that Willie must leave before we graduate, but we shall always claim her as ours. CHESTER BRUBACH Thus men mag grow wiser every dap. Chester is an easy-going chap with a high- ly developed sense of humor and a slow meas- ured way of doing things. He is an authority on socialism, well-read, but usually keeping his opinions to himself. He has a will of his own although he never acts with ostentation. MARJORIE LEMON And therebv hangs a tail Demure? You ' d think so to see her but, well, she has a mind o ' f her own. She con- verses well, giggles spontaneously, and be- stows coy glances which are quite entertain- ing. She is of an enlivening, sprightly, alive spirit that just naturally won ' t allow her ever to be anything but merry. JACK ROBBINS Oh, what mat) man within him hide Operetta (1) Who could find or want a more witty fel- low than Jack? He is fond of vaudeville, girls, and good dinners and is sure to enjoy himself wherever he is. Careful, jovial and always smiling, he never takes himself or anyone else seriously. He does not brood over himself or his future. He lives by the day. ROSE NIXON A rose bgang other name would smell as sweet Glee Club (3) Rose — refreshingly young! Rose — our sil- ver-throated lassie! We think she must have discovered the secret of perpetual happiness. She has two constant companions — that well- known contagious giggle and that merry little smile of hers. Capricious, mirthful, laughing.

SYBIL SCOTT There is a fair behavior in thee ' Such activity we have seldom seen nor so extended and decided opinions in one dimuni- tive Senior. We offer a reward to anyone who has ever discovered her with a frown. ALICE GRABBER I do not know her spirit. There ' s no necessity for anyone looking in- to the Correct Manner columns of the mag- azines to get the secret of poised and pleas- ing manner for they can get it directly from Alice. She ' s dignified, but fond of fun and al- ways looking as if she might have stepped from out a bandbox. PIERPONT BAHL Her eye discourses — Will answer it In other words Jacob Pierpont Morgan Bahl, but to most of us as plain old Pierie.

ROLLA STULL Heart and hand both open and free Any one here seen Rolla? That ' s the big question for he is so quiet that his presence is hardly known.

Just my luck! wailed Stoney Jackson as he lay stretched upon the ground with Doc Johnson and Coach Jim examining his injured ankle. Stoney, the champ pole vaulter of Cloister College had just completed one of his praiseworthy 10 foot vaults, when upon alighting, his ankle had turned on a small stone which some careless person had tossed there. As he fell in a heap, sharp pangs of pain shot through his ankle Doc and Coach Jim rushed up. their faces be- traying their suspicions. But surely Stoney could not he hurt to badly that he could not participate in the eyent of the year— the Field Meet between Cloister and Dunham Colleges. Cloister and Dunham were bitter rivals and since the building of the latter college, spirit iiad run rife between the two. Furthermore they delighted in bragging about the field meets they had won from Cloister, but this year Coach Jim had de- clared In- would clean up Franklin Field with Dunham College. Dunham especially flaunted their pole vaulter, Jerry Macon, who for three years had taken the pole vault from Cloister. Coach Jim had made a great find in Stoney and felt the former idol would he dethroned. After a brief examination of the injured member Doe blasted the hopes of Coach Jim by announcing that Stoney had broken several bones in his ankle. This brought forth a torrent of abuse from Stoney upon the person who had left the stone, upon Coach Jim, upon Doe ami finally upon himself for being so awkward and allowing a little pebble to break up his career. So amid alternating torrents of wailing and abuse Stoney was carried to the infirmary where his foot was put in a cast. The news quickly spread through the college that Stoney had hurt his ankle and would be out of the meet. Groups were seen to gather about the campus, all look- ing as though they had lost their last friend. How could they beat Dunham with their best out, and they had so wanted to take away the crown from Jerry Macon and the whole Dunham crew. But now the meet would be like those of former years. Just the matter of placing another trophy in Dunham ' s already too full case. The following day at practice, the accident was seen to have had its effect upon the squad. Don Berry slipped back three seconds in the 440. Chuck Langley failed to clear the high jump at his usual height. Even Coach Jim himself seemed to be irritable and all too ready to citicize some unnoticeable thing. Stoney up in the infirmary seemed like a caged lion, ready to snap at anyone who even dared offer condolence. He was often heard to mutter he knew he was born under an unlucky star. A week however had passed and there was but little better show of spirit. The substitute vaulter had failed to even reach the record of last year ' s vault and was far from capable of reaching Stoney ' s mark. Stoney ' s injured member had improved but little. Gloom prevailed in the Cloister camp. Finally the fatal day arrived. Dunham had come over to Cloister and spread themselves all over the campus, as though victory already shone over them. They had heard of Cloister ' s luck and so now seemed certain of victory. Then the hour arrived. ilftansfiflb lituh £ rhaol Annual- - tnetern GTuipntu-thrff First the Dunham gladiators came out upon the field, their chests thrown out, their stride being one of victory. The cheer leaders began their gymnastics and loudly Cloister yelled in an endeavor to instill some fighting spirit into her crew. Then came the Cloister crew with a do or die stare gleaming from their eyes A form on crutches with one leg bandaged hobbled along with them. He even had on a track suit. It was none other than Stoney who bad demanded to be allowed to put on a suit and go out on the field with them; although only as a substitute. He hobbled over to tiie side lines and lay there covered with blankets and with the look dI one facing certain destruction upon his face. The meet began. Dunham easily won the 440, the fleetfooted runners of Dunham making the Cloister sprinters look as though they were standing still. Then came the mile run: near its linish Sterling, of Dunham, got a cinder in his shoe and went lame. Sperry, Cloister ' s deer taking advantage of this put on an unexpected spurt and finished first, winning for Cloister the second event. This incident revived a little spirit in Cloister for the score now stood eight all. Next came the hurdler, then the high jump followed by the shot put anil broad jump. These events brought forth many surprises and at the end of the broad jump the score, as if by magic, stood 52 to 55 in favor of Dunham. The next and last event was the pole vault. Dunham now felt sure of victory, although they had been frightened because of the unexpected show of strength of Cloister. The Cloisterites now bemoaned the fact that victory being perched so close, they must lose it because of simply the pole vault and Stoney Jackson. Stoney himself all but went wild to think that lie could not get victory for Cloister simply because of a few little broken bones. The pole vault started. Jerry Macon, of Dunham, cleared the bar as though it were only three feet from the ground. Blackburn, the Cloister substitute, was just able to clear the bar also. The bar was raised. Again Macon went over like a bird: with Dunham fans cheering wildly. Then .came Blackburn, he ran vaulted; his foot was seen to touch the bar, it wobbled but through some twist of fortune remained in position. Everyone knew, however, that the next jump would be his last. Again the bar was raised and again Macon cleared it. Blackburn walked back for his jump and called for time to get ready for what he knew must be his finish. However on the sidelines, a person was seen to tear frantically at some white cloth around his foot. Freeing himself from it he jumped to his feet and ran to the vaulting stand. He seized the pole from the astonised Blackburn and running, vaulted the bar like a super- human! It was Stoney. But what about his foot; were not some bones broken in his ankle. The gallery and officials were stupifled. He limped back to the running ground. His face was white, his teeth clenched. The coach and officials rushed up to him but he waved them away and they fell back speechless. The bar was again raised but this time Jerry Macon was unnerved, be had lost his confidence and the hero of Dunham caught the bar with his foot and down it came and with it a cry of dismay from Dunham. But Cloister wondered; could Stoney succeed? It was not possible. However the bar was replaced. Stoney was seen to close his eyes, his face was now blanched, his form seemed to shake and his hands grasped the pole so hard that his knuckles turned white. He ran; up, up he soared and clearing the bar fell in a heap at its iJHansftrlo litah Srhool Annual- Ntnrtrrn (Tturntu-thrrr base. A cry of joy burst from Cloister they had won, miraculously, 57 to 55. Howeyer the cry of joy was changed to one of fear and anxiety: the form at the base of the pole vault remained motionless. The officials rushed up and turned Stoney over. He was unconscious. They quickly carried him back to the infirmary where they found lie had rebroken the knitting bones. Back on the Cloister field, pandemonium reigned supreme. Dunham was stupi- tiid: it could not realize it had lost. The Dunham fans, walking to the railroad sta- tion, resembled a funeral line of march. However there was not a Cloisterite who was nol relating over and over the heoic feat of Stoney. The pole vaulter was now Cloister ' s idol. Here and there on the campus groups were seen to jump joyfully up and down, clap each other on the back and give yells for Stoney. That night when Stoney regained consciousness, as he opened his eyes he was astonished to see his room crowded to overflowing with students ready to con- gratulate him. His hand was wrung until there was no feeling in his arm. Praises wire poured into his ears until his head swam. Finally when the room was emptied and Stoney was giving himself up to the mistress of sleep, despite the pains that racked his leg, he was seen to smile and murmur to himself. He at lasl had won his light. The pain of a few broken bones was nothing compared to the joy that the new hero, the champ pole vaulter of Cloister felt as he went to sleep only to dream over and over tile wonders of that afternoon in which he had given his all for the vault of victory. —Robert D.

I doubt greatly whether it has ever been heard of outside its own county. But to those of us who have spent four pleasant years there, her name stands equal with any of the greater and better known institutions. There is one story known to every graduate of Plainfield, the story of Bronson. Ask any of them, and they will tell you he was the greatest football player of all time. But none of them can tell you the real story save Dick Lane, Jimmy Kern and I. Now that the real Bronson is dead, this story can injure no one, especially as it will probably not be credited. I have been told that the grand old game of football has been more stringently regulated than before. But we, at Plainfield, were experiencing that year for the first time the iron hand of eligibility requirements. Jimmy was quarter-back that year and I was captain. But neither of us nor Dick Lane, the coach, could solve the problem that confronted us as we sat together in Jimmy ' s room. It ' s no use, despaired Dick. The rules are plain as day, and we can ' t get around them. If a player accepts anything over his regular expenses, he can ' t play in any amateur games after that. But that means that our whole football team, except us two, arc out of luck, groaned Jimmy. They all played summer baseball just to keep In condition, and took the money just because everybody else did. Can ' t help it. We ' ll just have to worry through the season with you two and a bunch of dubs. If we win a game we ' ll be lucky. Just then in rushed young Bronson, Jimmy ' s roommate. That was the year they drew for roommates, and Jimmy and I parted for the first time. Bronson looked as excited as a Methodist woman who has seen her pastor at a dance. I suppose I ought to beg your pardon for eavesdropping, he said, but I could not help hearing what you were talking about. Now listen, is there anything in the rules that says a player must be a human being? 1 looked at Jimmy and he tapped his forehead significantly. Not that I know of, I said. Why? Because I think I know some one who can put your football team on the map. Who? we roared in concert. Now don ' t get excited. You ' ll laugh at me at first, as I laughed when I first thought of this. Then you ' ll think it over and wonder. Pretty soon you ' ll accept it as I did. Hurry up and spring it, said Dick. So we can tell you w r hat ' s the matter with it, added Jimmy. My father, began Bronson, is keeper of the zoo at New York. Now, two weeks ago some idiot bought a young gorilla, and sent him to America. He had been a year in captivity, and was well trained. The poor fool didn ' t know that a gorrilla never lives over three years in captivity. Good heavens, man, you aren ' t proposing to play a gorilla on our football team? I yelled. Roughly, that is the idea. Why not? Why — , w ' hy — , I paused. There were reasons of course. I just couldn ' t think of them. It-it wasn ' t possible. Give me one reason, he said. It isn ' t practical, I answered weakly. Why not? It ' s never been done before! JUansftrlfc iltgh School Annual -Ntttrtrrn lurntu-thrrc Precisely why it will succeed People never suspect anything until they have a precedent, anyway my dear fellow, there are men dying every day who never died before. But his appearance! Can ' t you see that people would get on to us from that? Fit him out in a football uniform, put a noseguard on him, and nobody will ever even suspect. The more I thought the better it seemed. The thing was immense. If we could pull it- hut, no, there was one drawback. How about his classes? I asked. That ' s easy, he said. This fellow ' s name is going to be Bronson. Now, I ' m flabby, and weak, and couldn ' t play football on a bet, but I ' m six feet tall and look husky So I ' ll be his student and he ' ll be my football player, and nobody will know it. Docs this sound wild to you? Then think it over. Bronson was to take his place at everything but football. The monk to be left in his care, and purchased drit cheap, for he ' d only live a year or so anyway. Strong as ten men, he could sweep away a whole line. And it was only for one game! We were all reckless young fools anyway, and the thing appealed to our sporting instincts. But of course we didn ' t even know whether we could teach him football or not. We told Bronson to bring him out to the field as soon as he arrived. He came on the Monday before the game. Bronson himself drove him around to the gym in a curtained buggy and when he was dressed in football blothes, he looked more like a man that a lot of men I know. His big frame was padded am straightened, his face was covered by his huge nose-guard — all told he summed up nicely as a well built young giant. He caught on to what we wanted like a flash. The gang of subs that was left hit the dummy, Bronson (the Simian Bronson) watching all the while and grinning all over his monkey countenance. Then he tried it. We dragged him out from a mass of wood and sawdust. He had smashed the whole framework that held our dummy in place! He was attracted now by the center who was snapping the ball back and was seized with an uncont rollable desire to do likewise. He gave the astonished center a gentle push, and that worthy went spinning on his nose guard to a spot ten yards away. Then he calmly took the pigskin and snapped it back. We gasped in amaze- ment. A perfect spiral. Hoping against hope we tossed him the oval again, in fear lest the first try was a fluke. He caught it deftly, and snapped it back with per- fect ease and grace of execution, then, with the nonchalance of a veteran removed his nose guard, and, scratched his nose. We roared with laughter, but the episode had a serious side as well. We attached his nose guard firmly to his helmet, so he would not remove it in the game. Everything was set now, except to keep the thing quiet. We swore every man to secrecy and secured the promise of the local zoo keeper, a friend of Dick ' s, to keep the animal and his mouth both shut up tight. The work would be a whirl-wind, but that had been a terrible day. The papers, however, interviewed Bronson (the human one, of course) and the nex! day came a big write up. interview, biography and pictures. The newspapers printed even more that he told them, which was piling Ossa upon Pelion a couple of times. Well, at last the great day arrived. The stands, for once, were crowded with spectators, who had come to see the new superhuman and they got their money ' s worth. Jackson College had one of the toughest aggregations ever gathered together. If they were behind at the end of the first half, somebody on the other team was due to be leaned on. I will say they played clean, and never pulled any knives, but they had a pleasant habit of expressing their affection by kicking you in the ear or tansftrln lituh Srhoal Annual -Nineteen Suicntu-thrcc inserting their index finger into your eye. It was all fun, and as such we accepted it, for we realized that they would rather not kill us if they could win otherwise. The thing had been started, and it continued. Bronson, of course, plowed his way to the goal line regularly, a back following with the ball. And in every scrim- mage they dragged somebody out. Jackson had a brand new team on the field soon. We had no subs; we kept fighting with seven men, four of ours having been forced to quit. Then they got Cameron, a tackle. We had now lost both tackles and both ends, as well as a half. They began to make gains by the simple expedient of having one man run around us. Then they conceived the ladylike plan of having the other ten jump on one man and beat him to death. Oh, they were efficient, all right! When Owens and Wilson, the guards, had been dragged off, and Henderson car- ried away on a stretcher, Bronson, Jimmy and I w r ere left alone. They were now after Bronson. And how the crowd cheered him. He would carry the whole team a dozen yards, only dropping from sheer weight and constant kicks and blows. It was grand to see him sit on five men as Jimmy or I scampered away for a gain. And with two minutes to play, the score stood forty to thirty-six in our favor. But the grind was telling on Bronson. At the last moment the Jackson full back got away, slamming Bronson in the face as he did so, and started for the goal. Bronson leaped up and tore after him. I never knew a gorilla could go so fast. He didn ' t wait to make sure; he leaped ten feet upon the fellow ' s back. Then the whistle blew. We all ran to them. I rushed Bronson to the club house, but it was too late. He died that night. We gathered again in Jimmy ' s room, Dick, Jimmy, Bronson and I. Two weeks had passed. Well, it worked, said I. And Bronson here is a hero, added Jimmy. Say, Jimmy, said Bronson soberly, could you post Die on the rules and things of football. You ought to know — you ' re the — let ' s see, is it left or right quarter back? What ' s the big idea? asked Jimmy. 1 have .just been engaged by Yates College, in Connecticut, as coach, he re- plied with dignity. And say! They talk about his team at Yates yet. Three years straight they beat Harlon and Princevard. Bronson (simian and human both) was a great man. mtansftelit lipuh Srhnnl Annual •• Nineteen cTuientij-three ffreshmeit marian ackerman gertrude aderman lois alger frances almy elsie anliker mathilda

That tense stillness that portends disaster seemed to pervade the room. The very pens and ink on the writing table quivered with dread of some vague, impending calamity; then, as stealthy foot-falls were heard approaching, waited in dumb ex- pectancy. The villain, complacently regarding his sleek, black coat, came to the dcor of the room. One swift glace tolu him that his opportunity had come. His mistress, down in the lower hall, was busy entertaining guests. At last his rival in her affec- tions was alone, unprotected and within reach. With a savage snarl he sprang upon the innocent offender. For a moment he held him in his grasp, then, realizing the other ' s utter helpfulness, with fiendish delight set himself to torturing his hapless victim. First he dealt a crushing blow that left the other limp and apparently life- less; then in mock pity and sympathy gently and softly stroked his still form, only to hurl him roughly against the wall once more. So he amused himself, while the dull ticking of the clock seemed to be the tolling of the death bell. Suddenly a vague unrest seized him. Fear of discovery came to disturb his sport. With a fierce blow he finished the destruction he had started, hurling the crumpled remains of his unfortunate prey to the floor. Again foot-steps were heard, this time firm and quick. With a lithe spring the villian leaped to the window, from thence to the tree outside and to the ground, disappearing from sight just as his mis- tress came to the door of the room. She halted in dismay before the havoc that greeted her eyes. A deep sigh es- caped her lips. Can you beat it? she exclaimed wearily. That pesky little kitten lias been here and torn up my theme! LOIS GERMAINE REHL. Mansftclb 1!|tgh School Annual ♦♦Nineteen (£ujrttto.-thrct jTHE FRESHMAN CLASS of ' 26 has been put to a harder test than has any Fresh- man class heretofore. Due to overcrowded conditions of the school it was necessary to make some arrangement to accommodate the large number, and the system adopted would have been impossible had not the Freshmen class co-operated to the nth degree with the officials of the school. Because of this sys- tem the Freshmen had to inconvenience themselves a great deal, such as staying later in the day, which prevented many of the boys from working, eating their dinners at odd times, and doing their best, when com- ing to school at all hours of the day, to not disturb the upper-classmen in their work. This class surely deserves the commenda- tion of every one in the school because they have co-operated 10() ' with every request made of them. They have proven and dis- covered a way by which the situation of over-crowdedness can be overcome. The upper classmen extend their congrat- ulatio ns to the Freshmen as do the officials and the faculty. When we realize how long it takes to become acclimated under normal conditions and see how quickly the class of ' 26 adjusted itself to abnormal conditions, it makes us feel proud of such a class.

THE SPRIT oP ATHLETICS Rth l ctics COACH SMITH Coach Smith came to Mansfield two years ago in the capacity of Head of (lie Commercial Department. At the beginning. of this year he took up his duties as coach. One little suspected what he had in store for us, not knowing of his reputation as a coach in Michigan. However he has turned out two of the best teams M. H. S. lias ever had. He has that strong personality by which he has made every athlete meet his rules and discipline to the last letter and at the same time is liked by everyone of them. He has done great things for M. H. S. and it is sincerely hoped by every one that he will remain with us. COACH GINGERY Mr. Gingery, Ohio Wesleyan graduate and athlete, this year had charge of the second squad in football end basketball besides handling an extensive track program in the spring. This is the first year that a second team in football has been treated as a separate institution, but with its own schedule and games and proper coaching the idea has proved to be a good one. Coaich Gingery handled his players well, always keeping them well organized and properly trained. iHansftela !|tuh chnol Annual •♦Nineteen £uirntu,-thrrc Minn tt s a f the M FOOTBALL IRVIN HENRY BRUNE HERBERT REED SLOUGH ROBERT F1NDLY BELL RALPH MALCOM HARDY HENRY WILLIAM ISALY CHESTER WILLIAM FRICKMAN PAUL CLELAND WILMORE VETO MISTEM PESANO ROSS E.

H. S. — successful from the standpoint of both games won and lost, and from the clean, aggressive, fighting spirit displayed on the field at all times. Winning seven out of nine games played, Mansfield had a record of which any school might be proud. Bell, Wilmore, Slough, Frickman and Grieder made up the heaviest center of the line ever seen in M. H. S— two fast men in Brune and Crider o,n the ends, Seymore with his keen generalship at quarter, Hardy and Pesano at half to run the ends and Isaly at full to smash the line, Mansfield had a combination hard to defeat.

Tile initial game of the Mansfield High School Football Season was played at Davey Field, resulting in a clean victory for the Mansfield Gridders over the Columbus Grandview team by a score of 25 to 7. Both teams looked formidable as they trotted on the field but the line plunging and forward passing of the Mansfield team was too much for the Columbus defense and Mansfield soon had a safe lead. It did one good to watch the wonderful offensive work of Wilmore, Slough and Frickman, who tore great holes in the opposing line thru which the backfield drove for large gains. The whole line possesses that smashing aggressiveness which always goes to make a good football team. As this was the first appearance of Coach Smith ' s men every one was greatly interested in the result. From all appearances Mansfield is due for a highly successful season. MANSFIELD— 13 SHELBY— 7. The following Saturday Mansfield, backed by five hundred loyal rooters, journey- ed to Shelby, determined to avenge the humiliating defeat suffered at their hands the previous year. The day was warm but fair and the game started off fast. Mans- field received on the 30 yard line. After several downs Shelby held and got the ball. Shelby fumbled, however, anil Mansfield recovered. Then started a powerful march dcwn the field for 50 yards and a touchdown. Shelby came back strong in the third quarter and after Mansfield, showing a sterling defense, had held for three downs the ball was passed over the goal line for only marker. Mansfield received and using line smashes and short forward passes again started up the field. Seymore finally sneaked thru the center of the line for 30 yards and a touchdown. Coach Smith ' s team was working like clock work and was in excellent condi- tion, only eleven men being used in the entire game. When the final whistle blew Mansfield rooters went back home fully satisfied and their hearts gladdened in having secured revenge from the powerful Shelby eleven. MANSFIELD— 18 BUCYRUS— 6. Bueyrus boasted of a stone wall defense for Mansfield ' s powerful line smashing team, and defense it was, but not strong enough to stop the terrific onslaught of the Mansfield backs and forwards, and Mansfield marked up her first league victory. Several hundred rooters accompanied the team all of which went to make it a perfect football game. Mansfield scored first by steady plunging up the field for a touchdown but Bucy- rus countered and took the lead by bringing into action the famous forward passing combination, Neussbaum to Smith. A short, well placed pass and a -10 yard run by Smith put the ball on the 5 yard line. Mansfield held for 3 downs but it was finally pushed over. Mansfield ' s comeback in the second half, however, was as glorious as it was effective and scoring two touchdowns with steady, consistent line smashing, re- turned home victorious. MANSFIED— 9 GALION— 0. In the annual clash that took place between Mansfield and Galion the following Saturday, Mansfield began to make a strong bid for league honors by marking up an- other league victory. This victory marked the first time Galion had been beaten by Mansfield for five years. Although Mansfield won, and was ,not scored on, at times the defense looked bad. At one time Galion started on its 20 yard line and, uncorking a complicated three way shift, marched up the field 60 yards without losing the ball. Here Capt. Brune called time out while the proper corrections of both play and spirit were made and the team went back and on the four succeeding plays Galion hit a stone wall MANSFIELD DELAWARE Mansfield had, this year, without boubt the best football team ever put out by the largest score of the season. Delaware was no match for Mansfield ' s line smashes and end runs. In order that our players might not soon resemble a team from the House of David it was necessary to win from Delaware and win by a margin of 50 points. This was not quite accomplished but somehow most of the players did not fail to visit the barber shop as they had threatened. A real thrill was provided in the second half when Wilmore, 190 pound guard, intercepted one of Delaware ' s forward passes and ran 40 yards for a touchdown. An- other bit of brilliant football was shown later in the game when Percy leaped high in the air and speared a forty yard pass which had been hurled from mid field. He was downed, however, on the 10 yard line just as the game ended. MANSFIELD— 6 AKRON— 33. Mansfield went to Akron the following Saturday, hopes high for defeating the powerful South eleven and thereby laying a strong claim for State championship. M. H. S. had. without a doubt, a strong, well-balanced team and the enthusiasm over the game was at the highest pitch. Mansfield gridders put up a stubborn fight for every inch of ground, but the sweeping end runs and off-tackle drives of the Southerners were too much. Mansfield ' s tackling, contrary to the opinion that might be given by the large score, was clean and sure as long as the tackier could get to his man. But the wonderful Akron interference worked perfectly and it was hard to get within tackling distance. Mansfield showed good endurance by scoring late in the last quar- ter. A pass a.nd a series of line plunges put the ball over for the only count. The game was costly for Mansfield, as Capt. Brune and Pesano were both injured and forced out of the game. Mansfield has scheduled a return game for next year on the home field and hopes to secure revenge at that time. MANSFIELD— 25 MARION— 16. The fourth consecutive ieague victory was won Armistice Day on the home field, Marion being the victim. Within i minutes of play the largest home crowd of the season was violently shocked with a long end run forming the strong part of their offense, quickly pushed over the first touchdown. It had taken only 5 plays for Marion to score and Mans- field ' s defense looked bad, but Mansfield came back. Receiving on the 20 yard line, by three plays, a short forward pass, a trick pfay, netting 40 yards, and a 20 yard dash thru the line tied the score. Prom then on Mansfield excelled in all parts of the game and never was in real danger. The excellent condition of Coach Smith ' s team was again shown in the fact that only eleven men were used in the entire game. MANSFIELD— 13 TIFFIN— 0. Another game played at Davey Field in preparation for the coming miniature Yale-Harvard Classic for the year. During the first half of the game Tiffin regis- tered a threat of considerable weight, working thru the line and around the ends for several gains and presenting a defense that seemingly could not be pierced. The half ended with a scoreless tie. It was not until the second period that Mansfield managed to gain the first score. Realizing that they had a job on their hand they got down to business and began to play football. The first touchdown was a feature of the game. Tiffin ' s left guard was a regular baby hippo, weighing 230 pounds. On the 5 yard line a play was called thru him and Steam Roller Frickman threw him so far out of the play that the back slipped thru for the 5 yards and a touchdown without being touched. Another touchdown was soon scored and Mansfield again safely marked up another win. MANSFIELD— ASHLAND— 19. Of all sad words of football men, the saddest are It might have been or He bucked the line and fumbled. Mansfield, after having produced without the shadow of a doubt, the best foot- ball team in years, having won seven games — four league games and losing only one. that to Akron, perhaps the best team in the state, and having in her grasp the first league championship in M. H. S. football history, went down in defeat before her rival — Ashland. Mansfield had built up the reputation of having a strong football team but when it came to the last game Ashland was found to have a powerful team also. Mansfield ' s offense was good, making forty-four first downs to Ashland ' s twenty- one, but again Ashland ' s long end runs and off-tackle tandems could not be stopped. Many times Mansfield marched down the field to the 10 yard line only to fumble or lack the punch to put it over, and each tim e went the chances for championship. It was this that made a sorry looking crowd of several thousand rooters return home that evening, little realizing what had happened. ° ° .3 « S — r a « S £ iHansfirlb Uityth Srltuol Annual Nineteen cTuinttij-thrrr lasketball--19£5 Embarking upon the 1923 Basket Ball Season with what was considered green and inexperienced material, the Red and White soon built up a team that not only won the North Central Ohio League Championship with a clean record of six won and none lost, but also proved to be a consistent game winner. The first game, played at Mansfield ' s Y, resulted in an easy victory over Elyria by a score_4 0f 39-17. Lorain, perhaps the best team in the state, and later winners of the state championship, invaded Mansfield ' s gym the following Friday and handed the yet in- experienced team a trouncing, 41-22. But with the next game, a nip and tuck affair with the Alumni, Mansfield started on a string of victories that was not to be broken until the Tiffin Tournament. Win- ning nine games in succession from the Alumni, Columbus East, Norwalk, Marion, Delaware, Bucyrus, Ashland, Galion and the Columbus Mutes, by playing a wonderful brand of basketball, the Red and White doormen had already made a reputation for themselves and were now all primed for the coming tournament. Mansfield and Bellevue were doped on paper to win the honors. Mansfield drew Bellevue the very first round and in what proved to be the most exciting game of the season was defeated 20-16. Mansfield led at the end of the half 11-1(1, but Bellevue shot several fouls in the second period and took the lead. At Akron the following week the strange floor and crowd were too much, but all previous games were forgotten in preparation for the coming battle. When Mans- field bested Ashland on the home floor the Orange and Black vowed to even up things when Mansfield came to their gym. But it could not be done. The fast Grimes and Grindle were stopped and Mansfield, showing a powerful offense and defense won, 3U-20, thereby winning league championship. In the last game the fast Canton McKinley team won in a hard fought game. Looking back over the season with league championship safely tucked away, two Ashland scalps hanging on its belt, eleven games won to four lost, and with a total of fifteen opponents, Mansfield has a record that will go down with the rest of the good showings that M. H. S. has always made. Besides the members of the second team, who deserve credit for their faithful- ness and opposition furnished, and the other letter men on the first squad, five players are largely responsible for the excellent record established. Captain Snyder, this year played the kind of a game that is typical of him. Al- ways cool and unexcitable he made an ideal Captain. He was of the rugged nature, always strong enough to pull away from an opponent, in that way getting many shots under close guarding. His good showing at the Tiffin Tournament earned for him one of the forward positions on the all tournament team. Roth was the high score man for the season. His slippery dodging and snake- like twists made him a hard man to guard. He often caused a guard to come to grief who thought he already had him stopped. Possessing an uncanny accuracy for the bas- ket he was always dangerous within a few feet of the basket as he missed very few short shots and made many. Percy, at center, was the real shining light of the season. Starting the first game he was not yet a world beater but he did not play a single game in which he did not improve over the last one. He showed more improvement than any other play- er on the squad. With his six feet of bone, flesh and muscle, and remaining two years in school, he will soon become as good a center as was even seen in M. H. S. [ansfiflb 1!?tuh School Annual • Ninrtrrn ftuirniy-thrrc Hod Eller showed strength both on offense and defense, a property always found in a good basketball player. His long shots not only always counted two points, no matter how unmercifully heart-breaking they were hut many times succeeded in draw- ' ing out the defense, enabling Snyder and Roth to work up under the basket before the opponents knew it. Isaly was the reliable type of a guard that could always be depended upon and was contented with smothering opposing plays and taking the hall off the back board. He was always on the job, working every minute. He usually managed to get the ball off the back board and out of dangerous territory before and fed low shots could be made. Brune, Seymore, Ferguson, Pesano and Smith all played good basket ball and as we close they have the satisfaction of knowing that more good days are coining next year when Old Man Basket Ball again rolls around in 1 024.

H. S. this year when Ashland was nosed out nine to seven in the first baseball game of the season. Much credit is due to Coach Smith for reorganizing this sport and promoting better spring athletics. Practice started at Davey Field witli aboul forty candidates out for business. When Ashland was beaten on her own Held it was the third straight victory that M. H. S. has scored over the Orange and Black during this school yean At Danville, the following Friday, the varsity received a serious setback by (he villagers, fourteen to eleven. The game started with the Coach stranded in a broken down automobile somewhere between Mount Vernon and Danville and the home team took advantage of the unorganized situation by shoving over thirteen runs in the first three innings. When Coach finally arrived the defense settled down ami runs began to icome our way but not quite enough to win out. The personnel of the team included Snyder and Mosey behind the plate, Berno and Brune on first base, Erdenberger and Maxwell on second. Chuck Snyder and Mc- Donough at short, Eller and Hardy on the hot corner, McFadden, Pesano and Isaly in the outfield, and Slough, Percy and Morhan pitchers. The infield played fairly consist- ant ball, all things considered, while the wrecking crew from the outfield usually de- livered at the bat when needed in a pinch. As the Annual goes to press Mansfield still has such teams on its schedule as Wooster, Ashland, Bellevue and Danville, and prospects are such thai will probably turn m several more victories. By next year with the experience thus gained and a full schedule M. H. S. should build up a baseball team that will take its place with those in Football and Basketball that have been produced in past years. Mansfield AB R H PO A E Ashland AB R H PO A E G.

CHUBB While looking through the records of the College of Cincinnati, we found as a graduate of the class of 1910, Mr. R. A. Chubb — a man who is known by everyone in M. H. S. as one of the students best friends. He has been our music supervisor for the past Ave years. Through his execellent leadership he has placed M. H. S. second to no high school in the state in the rank of musical ability. He blends humor with his work, especially in our music classes. Thus with patient efforts, he develops un- rivaled ability among his students as well as higher standards of appreciation of music. txrruttur Committer This is (he third year of the functioning of the Executive Committee of the Music Club. A committee composed of eight members, six of whom were selected by the Music Club, the other two being the Music Editors of the Hypho, and of the Annual. The duties of the committee are to aid Mr. Chubb in securing out of town ar- tists for recitals in the school, also to do work essential to the workings of the Club. The Music Club aided in securing Madam Sturkow Ryder, a widely known pianist of Chicago. She also gave a recital at the Opera House in the evening, which was pleasing to the music loving public. She gave us a new insight into the history of music. The Club also arranged a delightful student recital which was held in the auditorium on March 2. One of the most pleasing recitals of out of town students was given by Mary Porter, vocalist; Stewart Crider, violinist; accompanied by Mr, Snyder, supervisor of music in the Barberton Schools. We sent to Barberton, for an exchange program, our string quartet, composed of Norma Rosen, pianist; J. B. Collins, violinist; Geraldine Hoover, violinist, and Lloyd Bonar, celloist. In general our school would not be so prominent in musical circles were it not for the spendid work of our Executive Committee.

She was the accompanist for the Orchestra one year, Mandolin Club two years, and Girls ' Glfee Club one year. As the Chairman of the second group of tlie piano department, she lias accomplished a noteworthy standard among its members. HOUSTON — Selby ' s career explains his ability as an unusual musician. For the past four years he has been pianist or organist for the annual May Festival. It is unusual for a Freshman to be accompanist for general music, but Selby held this position in a very acceptable manner. He has been head of the piano de- partment for two years. He was glee club accompanist two years and has per- formed at four Student Recitals during his career, which is also unusual. BANKS — Naomi also is one of our best players and has done much work in musical circles. She has helped greatly in the success of the various organizations for which she plays, including the Quintette and Orchestra. She has accompanied many soloists, both vocali and instrumental. We are sure that the music depart- ment of the High School will miss Naomi ' s ever faithful work when she leaves this year. fr (6roup L patro Srpt.

The Boys Glee Club consisted of select voices and were the best material avail- able for such an organization. Although the club seldom made an appearance, it was well drilled by Mr. Chubb in the limited time he had for the department. Through their efforts and his strict supervision the members accomplished a higher standard in the way of training. We are sure that every member enjoyed his position in the organization. Music Notes Owing to the ever increasing number of students in M. H. S., who are desirous of getting a general vocal training, our class could accommodate but only 350 stu- dents, consequently the 350 best voices are in the music class. The Freshman, how- ever, could not be accommodated this year on account of the congested conditions. Mr. Chubb has been drilling and instructing the members of the music class with the idea in view of giving our annual May Festival or recital which was held at the Con- gregational Church. The cantatas that were sung at this event were The Building of the Ship by Lahee and The Village Blacksmith by Noyes. With the large chorus were four soloists while Selby Houston and Naomi Wigton were the accompanists throughout the entire program. Another event of note was the Band Concert given at the Congregational Church on the night of January 26, This concert was well accepted and supported by the stu- dents and the public. iHansftelit Iftgh School Annual • Nineteen (Suirntu-thrce MR.

It is of interest to note that Mr. Collins served during the war with Sousa ' s band. He has entire supervision over instrumental activities except the band. With pleasure we say that due to his excellent ability as a supervisor and orchestra leader he has produced the best orchestra that M. H. S. has thus far had. Jftrst (Drrhrstra Our first orchestra is one of the best that M. H. S. has ever produced. It is composed of the best players of the various instruments in the school. This organi- zation plays a select grade of music consisting chiefly of classics of the old masters. The members have been invited to exchange a program with Crestline and num- erous other schools. We are proud to say that from this organization four members were chosen as delegates to go to Columbus to participate in and become members of the all-state high school orchestra. A concert was given in May and was highly accepted by the public of Mansfield. A much appreciated performance was given to the inmates of the Ohio State Reforma- tory and a warm invitation to return was extended to the orchestra.

They are doing a big work and have made numerous public appearances, among them an exchange recital with Barberton High School. This is the first year M. H.

It can be looked forward to with pleasure because its members have been in training through the .grades, thus, having an ad- vantage over those who do not take up instrumental work until entering high school. Next year a goodly number of its members will be recruits for the first orchestra. VIOLINS AND PIANO Frances Nuamaker ' 25, Karl Johnson ' 26, Gladys Brubacker ' 21, Joe Cairns ' 23. Equal to the string quartet in importance is this organization. It has been the result of the success of the string quartet.

Robert Witter was alternate. Every member of the team did well both in constructive arguments and in rebuttal, this whole debate was a good one. The decision was 2 to 1 in favor of Crest- line. THE NEGATIVE TEAM. The Negative team debated Crestline affirmative in the Mansfield High School Auditorium April IS, 1923. The order of constructive speeches was as follows: Paul Anderson, Lurline Strohm, Thelma Long. Kenneth Kiplinger was alternate. Mansfield scored heaviest in rebuttal, which proved their ability to pick out the big points and to hit them hard. The fine delivery of the members of this team also deserves mention.

CRESTLINE Probably the most concrete evidence of the Young Men ' s Christian Association ' s work as it reaches the High School is the Hi-y Club. It is now in the eighth year o£ its active participation in Hi- School life. The Mansfield Club is duly affiliated with the Ohio Hi-Y groups and with those of the entire nation. In fact, its scope extends to aiding in world wide Y. M. C. A. activities, which include the World Outlook Campaign, India Missions, a World Wide Conference for Boys ' interests, (Austria), and such campaigns and such projects as the Association might from time to time further. It is one of the State ' s 10S. and the Nation ' s 1S53 Clubs, which have enrolled upwards of 53,000 boys, all working toward the same definite end, Contagious Christian Character. The purpose of the Club is to create, maintain and extend thruout the school and community high standards of Christian character. Its activities include any that are compatible with the four-square Christian Standard — physical, mental, social and religious fitness and development. The membership, of necessity, is comparatively small. However, the program is promoted by faithful weekly meetings, which are held every Monday night at the Hi-Y den in the Y. M. C. A. These meetings include both business transactions and Bible studies. Under the excellent leadership of Mr. Angel, assisted by Association Secretaries Messrs. Chapman and Mansfield, many goodly achievements have been attained. Clean living, clean speech, clean athletics and clean schools. £hr Art Club Warm sunlight caressing the yellow lips of a butter cup, the mellowness of lustre wave, a lazy stream wandering thru a knarled orchard in old Normandy, the reflection of a Venetian love boat in crystal waters, the olive tint of an Italian peasant girl — each a subject for masterpieces — each admired, appreciated and enjoyed by the artistic eye Artistic appreciation comes thru Art Study. This is what that group had in mind when they organized the Art Appreciation Club of 1SI22. This nucleus reorganized in 1923, deciding instead of merely studying the mas- ters, to do some real work. This consisted of pen and ink, pastel, oil, charcoal and water color. Each student developed his or her idea under the able direction ot Mr. Victor Ketner, to whom much of the success and advancement of the Art Club is due. With Mr. Ketner ' s inspiring guidance the work progressed rapidly. Since so few of the many in the High School knew of the benefits being derived from the Club it was planned to give a studio tea and art exhibit. The night arrived, the last drapery had been placed, the last lantern had been hung. Mansfield High was to have her first studio tea. An oriental gong was struck three times, the curtains part, Greenwich Village has come to town! A program of specialties in close harmony with the setting entertained the visitors. With a whirl of chiffon and the last spiral of incense the program closed. The doors of the third floor were thrown open. The display of pictures make the walls of kaleidoscope of color. Bold viking ships, sweet colonial maidens, the faint blush of cherry blossoms, the radience of lines, the beauty of roses in crystal bowl, the shyness of a squirrel all that brush and pencil could portray. It was remarked that some examples of work produced excelled that of graduate artists. With tremendous success, the first Art Ex- hibit of Mansfield High School was ushered into the past, leaving behind it the seed of accomplishment. £  $ J.. - 4 2? iMansftrlo l tgh Srhanl Annual •♦ Ntnetfm 5Tuirntu-thrrr She llur Irfangte €lub The Elue Triangle is an organization of which all high school girls may be members. All members of the club are Girl Reserves, which is the National move- ment of Young Women ' s Christian Association in the United States. The three sides of the triangle, the emblem of the Club, signify Spirit, Health and Knowledge and all the activities of the club tend to develop the girls in these ways. This year the Club has been particularly active along social lines. One of the most important events was the Hi-Jink ' s Frolic. This was arranged in the form of a carnival — various boothes of a fortune teller, a fishing pond, and numerous others suggestive of a carnival being carried out. This was a delightful beginning of the social- good times of the year. Next in order was the St. Patrick ' s Party, which was enjoyed by every one. Then too, as is the custom, the Club entertained the Hi-Y Club. The special feature on this program was the presentation of the play The Maker of Dreams. Then came the annual Mother and Daughter Banquet, which as always, was a huge success. The Club does not devote all its time to social affairs, however. The members do their share of social service work also. World Fellowship programs, in which we learn of the customs and manners of foreign countries, are held ever so often during the year. Recently, too, the membership committee started a drive for new members. A contest was held to stimulate interest and the losing side had to entertain the win- ning side. All these serve as the activities of the Club. Every year the Blue Triangle Club sends a certain number of girls as represen- tatives of the Club to the National Conference. The girls interest themselves in vari- ous ways to make money to send the delegates. This year the money was raised by the various social activities, by selling Ready-Jell and by a bake sale. Getting ready to send delegates to the conference makes up a great part of the years ' work. All the members look forward to the conference and it is with great delight that each does her nit, because through the conference and through the co-operation of the members the Blue Triangle Club goes on to a more brilliant future, reaches out farther in at- taining the higher goal. m ) j r c m 2x i R vnrmov Stop 5ocietu £A iov , l 4 u.tseKftnco k Jou.vHall.i.itor ' XUzivWtViKeoo Guui H A tor ■ ' D rvellTo.u.st $y£ $ ! !

They were fortunate in securing the able guidance of Mr. R. B. Chapman and Rev. F. G. Harkness, to whom belongs much of the credit for the successful year of the club. The first venture of the club was the organization of a basket-ball team, under the leadership of Myron Sharp, which succeeded in coming in first in two games and second in a great many more. The first social event was not held until January 30th, when a theater party was given, followed by a series of games at the Y. M. C. A., and a lunch at Holds ' . Everyone was satisfied save those who were not present. The urgent need for study forced a long period of inactivity upon the club, but the next affair, a railroad party under the direction of Mr. R. A. Chubb, held on April fi, was a tremendous hit. The group assembled at the Y. V. C. A., where a number of songs were sung and an excellent reading given by Dorothy Crawford. Prom there they went to the rooms of the Chamber of Commerce, where a model Hi-Y meeting was held. The next station was the First M, E. Church, where games were played. The party wound up with lunch at the Y. On May the fifth a third party was given at the Y. M. C. A. Lurline Strohm pleased everyone with a clever reading, and Mr. W. C. Canfield gave an exhibition of sleight-of-hand. ilansftfla ligh Srhnnl Annual • Ninctrrn Suifntu-thrcr The Junior Hi-Y (Continued) The newly elected officers of the club, to take up their duties next year are, Rob- ert Lynch, President; Franklin Ackerman, vice president; Winfleld Hancock, secre- tary, and Fritz Fisher, treasurer. II is hoped that the club will continue next year, as this, to stand for the all-around high school life, the physical, mental, moral and social activities of the student body which tend to broaden in all four directions, and I hat it will continue to try to carry out the purpose of the organization, To create, maintain, and extend throughout school and community, high standards of Christian character. Ihc junior Hue M. The Junior Blue Tri. is another club of which M. H. S. can boast. It consists of Freshmen girls and numbers nearly thirty. The club has been very active during the year. During the Holiday season the girls were busily engaged in welfare work. Theii parties are famous, especially their Mother and Daughter party. drums Together with the 1 e-estahl ishmeiit of spring athletics, a request was made Eoi the organising of tennis teams in M. H. S. Because of the large number in the school who play the game, the sport is due to become popular. Organization of M. H. S. ten- nis fans resulted in the election of Clark Brook, President; L. Emery, Vice President, and Nellie Spenser, Secretary-Treasurer of the M. H. S. Tennis Association. Mr. Meybur was named coach with Mr. Shull as assistant. Inability to secure sufficient number of courts has this year somewhat retarded action. Matches were secured for the H. S. team, which was selected from the contestants in the class tournament with Harding Hi, Marion, and Shelby, Ohio. HYPHO STAFF Utansftrlo l tgh School Annual Ntnrtern «Tuipnty-thrcr Or Hyphmterfatt This fifth year of the Hyphonerian has been an unusually successful one, in management, student support and composition. At the contest for Ohio school news- papers, held in Madison, Wisconsin, by the lntcrscholastic Press Association, it won second place and was surpassed only by South High Beacon of South High School of Cleveland. The Hyphonerian has sought to depict activities of all school organizations, and it stands as a true picture of high school life in all its phases. It is the monument of our creative literary management and efficient organization. Besides the regular fortnightly issues there were special football, basketball and April fool numbers making seventeen in all. Miss Bloor has been faculty advisor this year and a great deal of credit is cer- tainly due her for her helpful suggestions. In addition to the staff there are the class reporters who have contributed no small share in the work of the paper.

This should not lessen its educational significance, but must at the same time lend itself to the solution of some of the real problems confronted in the world. The Construction Class was organized for the purpose of giving practical ex- perience in building. The classes in architectural drafting and applied mathematics emphasize the theoretical side and stress the underlying principles of construction and strength of materials. The work in construction affords practical experience in every phase of building from the installation of the sewer system to the final touches in interior decoration. The work of this class is on the same basis as any other laboratory course and the boys of the class receive scholastic credit for all work done. Nearly fifty boys were allowed to join this initial class and many more are on the waiting list. A modern Dutch Colonial house is being constructed at the corner of Summit Street and Parkwood Boulevard. The boys are doing the work at every stage of con- struction, under careful and competent supervision and direction. Everyone who is interested is invited to visit this location and inspect the work being done. t til . ;iii ht m % Ep «f m IF ItStti ' -I mB ll  vlBfe Hre 9 Iffir i Vl ;v 4A . v 3I 8L iF isam. ' MR l lj T I WtBHI -N i p W _ Ckneral (Eoimrfl This is the second year for the activities of the Student Council in M. H. S. As a representative body, composed of those associated with each and every department and project in our school, it has legislative, executive and judicial jurisdiction over all matters of common interest in school life. The constitution which has been in effect for a year has been revised to meet the conditions now existing in the school. Many pertinent resolutions have also been passed upon to care for the needs of the miniature nation. The general council meets regularly every Tuesday morning. Here student and faculty representatives consider and take decisive action on all matters compatible with the scope of powers vested in it and in accordance with its aim to develop a sense of civic responsibility and to create a condition of hearty co-operation among students and between students and faculty for the best interests of Mansfield High School. Student government as established in our school has brought it about that the name of Republic of M. H. S. has been aptly applied. The analogy between a modern republic and the Associated Student body may readily be discerned as the details are similar — in fact, our nation ' s system was employed as a model, more or less.

This year has seen an unprecedented expansion of the drama in our school. The time was when the annual junior and senior plays were the only attempts at drama. This cannot be said now, however, for under the excellent supervision of Miss Emma Waring class parties and other programs have been made more interesting by the addition of plays. The selection this year has been remarkably good, the list con- taining many of the now so popular one-act plays. The first play of the year was The Maker of Dreams by Oliphant Down, which was presented first at the Senior Girls ' Faculty Reception and later at the Blue-Tri. Hi-Y party. This play is a blending of symbolism and realism and ranks high in the one-act plays of today.

The Seniors flocked out in their gayest best, after having gone over the top, so to speak, in the Hyphonerian subscription, and attended en masse the theater party given annually by the Hypho staff. A section had been reserved at the Majestic, where a very enjoyable movie was shown. It was the beginning of an eventful year for the class of ' 23. HEARTILY WELL MET. Thoroughly wholesome and worth-while was the how-do-you-do party given on Thursday, October the tenth, which marked the beginning of a successful year for the Senior Blue Triangle Club. After a general handshaking, the officers for the year and Miss Alexander, the new Y secretary, were introduced. Put to it several of our Senior girls lost their dignity in illustrating how elephants fly, causing a perfect fusillade of laughter. The quartet, engaged especially for the occasion, made a palpa- ble hit, being able in some incomprehensible way, to rival the Sirens while standing on their heads (?). These were pretty certain indications of good times coming. HONORED HEROES OP THE MUD. Urn boy, some feed, was the members of the football team expression of the banquet given in their honor shortly after the Shelby game. Evidently Coach Smith knows the surest way to a man ' s heart, good things to eat being of prime importance to men folks. Small M ' s, emblematic of the conquering hero were presented to each one on the squad. Several banquets of this joyful sort were given for the members of the football team. Probably that which meant a great deal for each one was that given by the business men at which they received their reward — their sweaters. JUST FOR THE LOVE OF THEM. Breathes there the girl with creative instinct so dead that never to herself has murmured, I must do something original. Probably not. At any rate the Senior girls progressed beyond that murmur to the realms of accomplishment. Just in the way of proving their originality they set the pace for future classmen by giving a re- ception to the faculty, if you please. Seemingly by magic, the third floor had been transformed into an un usually at- tractive living room. We were Senior-ie throughout the whole affair, our old cerise and blue having been carried out to a T. Here our illustrious guests were welcomed. After how-do-you-do ' s had been said the guests were invited to the auditorium, where a delightful program had been arranged to be given. Our musical ones performed first. Piano Solos were given by Naomi Wigton and Naomi Banks, while Louise Emery gave a violin selection. The Senior girls Sextette also gave a group of selections. Lest this grow monotonous, however, a one act play was presented. It was one of Oliphant Down ' s Pierro and Pierrette plays, The Maker of Dreams. We never dreamed that Louise Booth could make such a handsome Pierro (Oh, what a Romeo!) And Marion Bradford as Pierrette had us all at her feet. Mirian Rife, The Maker of Dreams was very good, too. iHansftelfr 3jtgh Srhnnl Annual • Nineteen (tuienty-three Following this entertainment, each member of the Faculty was escorted in state to the dining room for refreshments — a fine finish for any party. It was a joyful expression of our appreciation to our beloved teachers. It was a lovely party. Juniors, Sophomores and Freshmen we leave our facultuy to you to be cared for in just such a way. IN BLEAK DECEMBER, YOU REMEMBER. On Saturday evening, December the eleventh, each Hi-Y man with his lady on his arm, sauntered to the Majestic theater, for the first performance. After the show the Y. M. C. A. gym served as the scene for the usual games. The fellows did their best to teach the girls the tricks of the billiard balls and cues, without much success. Then came eats and expressions of a lovely time and it is certain every one meant them. JUST FOR A NIGHT! J ust kids, that ' s all! Didn ' t our class president look like one in his knee-breeches,white stockings, and flowing red tie? Dignity took wings and we forgot all about being Seniors for a few hours. A queer mixture of p ' ig tails, colored knee breeches, nursery rhymes, and pep- permint candy presented itself. It was a treat seeing Wesley Barry at his best — freckles and all — right before our eyes. It made our old (?) hearts ache to hear the nursery rhymes sing-songed so beautifully. Mother Goose ' s ghost was everywhere. Santa Claus dropped from no-where in particular to be with us. Kind teachers seemed to be his favorites, for he filled their stockings first. Mr. and Mrs. Whitehouse and Mr. and Mrs. Smith were the Honorable Judges during the races which followed. Father Time set an early hour for our departure. The Mary Jane ' s dangling dolls, and sticks of candy left together, while the boys donned their best toppers and loitered — as little boys will. Just kids. That ' s all! A CHIP OFF THE OLD BLOCK. On January the thirteenth the Junior Hi-Y gave a party at the Y. M. C. A. They first saw the Sin Flood, the picture then appearing at the Majestic, with an all star cast. Upon returning to the Y the guests played indoor baseball, basket ball relay and the game called everlasting — Pig in the Parlor. All then adjourned to the Chinese Tearoom at Hold ' s, where dainty refreshments were served. The chaper- ons were Mr. and Mrs. Mansfield, Rev. Mr. and Mrs. F. G. Harkness, Mr. and Mrs. Whitehouse, and Mr. and Mrs. Chapman. NOW GOOD DIGESTION WAIT AN APPETITE AND HEALTH ON BOTH! Ye Seniors met on February the twenty-second at the First Congregational Church to partake of a bounteous repast and entertainment arranged for their benefit. Dinner was served at six-thirty o ' clock; we having been reminded beforehand that Now good digestion wait on appetite and health on both. Everyone was kept busy in — between — times autographing the clever programs printed for the occasion. ilansfirla Ijtgh Srhnol Annual- Nineteen eTuirntu-three Later appropriate toasts were given by various members of the class, Glenn Jolly acting as toastmaster. At the close of the program the class song was sung by all those present — , and is never to be forgotten. ANOTHER JUNIOR HI-Y. After the basket-ball game between Mansfield High and the Columbus Mutes, the Junior Hi-Y held an unusual stag at the Y. About fifteen of the members gath- ered on the gym floor where they played basket-ball until two o ' clock in the morning, at which time they went to the game room where they played until four-thirty. They snatched a brief forty winks, arose at five-thirty and had a rousing time during break- fast, which was served in high style on the gym floor. It was a most unusual party, but was enjoyed by all. ANOTHER HI-Y PARTY. Again the Hi-Y entertains the ladies — this time at the Canton McKinley vs. Mansfield game. A section was reserved for the members of the Club and their guests. Informal games added much to the enjoyment of the evening, while the luncheon which followed, also added its touch of attractiveness to this thoroughly enjoyable evening. A HI-JINX FROLIC. This affair planned by the Blue Tri was heralded far and wide. The Pates smiled and it was a tremendous success Everything was in evidence from the usual fish pond to the latest thing in style shows. Tea and ice cream were served, and there were the usual venders of pea- nuts, popcorn and candy. Dancing was one of the most outstanding features of the evening. The Frolic was given for the benefit of the Conference Fund. IN PLEASANT RECIPROCITY. This year the tables were turned in the annual Blue-Tri, Hi-Y Party, the girls playing the hostesses this time and the boys the guests. Comfy chairs and divans were informally arranged before a cleverly improvised stage where the per- formers presented the program consisting of musical numbers, readings and a one-act play, The Maker of Dreams. Games and goodies brought the evening to a close far too soon. THE JUNIOR ' S JUMBLE. The Juniors have won fame for sure this year — due to their ability to put anything over big. The program was unusually good for this affair. Resolved: That the Ameri- can soldier is better looking than the American sailor was one of the heated debates which caused so much excitement. The originality and cleverness of these classmen were revealed throughout the evening — even to the eats. The Jumble was proclaimed the best party of the year. fHansfftcIa Ijtgh Schnnl Annual • Nineteen cTrurnty-thrcf A ' 25 GET-TO-GETHER. The snappy Sophomores surely lived up to their reputation in their clever party on Wednesday evening, April the eleventh. The feature program was outstanding in its originality. Histrionic ability exhibited itself in the ingenious pantomime play. Wild Nell, the Pet of the Plains. Accomplishments in music were displayed by the ghost band led by Myron Sharp and several other musical numbers, while elocutional talent was shown by Lurline Strohm in her readings. Then to perfect the enjoyableness of the evening was added a delicious lunch- eon, which was quite a finish for this snappy Sophomore ' s party. THE JUNIORS PAY TRIBUTE. Juniors and Seniors and members of the faculty assembled in these old halls of fame Friday evening, April the thirteenth, for the annual reception of the Juniors to the Seniors. Plenty of light everywhere — glare nowhere — a spot of color here and there! That was the secret of the quiet charm and dignity of these old halls, giving a very lovely setting. The members of the reception committee stood at the head of the broad middle staircase and among those issuing greetings were our precious Miss Ruess, Mrs. Reid, Mr. Rowan, and Paul Anderson, the president of the Junior class, together with several other Juniors. At eight-thirty o ' clock the guests were asked to the auditorium, there the pleas- ing program was given. The Junior president gave the address of welcome and this was followed by a number of musical selections, a reading by Marion Wood, and last, but by all means not least, was the presentation of the clever playlet Fourteen, by three of the class members. Marguerite Day, Frances Koogle, and Harold Eller. The grand march to the first floor for the serving of refreshments was led by Mr. and Mrs. H. H. Helter, the faculty, then the Seniors, then the Juniors in order following. ART FOR ART ' S SAKE. The third floor — by packing, crowding and storing — housed the Art Club ' s dis- play of talent and originality and was named officially — the Art Gallery — for an even- ing. The Tea opened at 7:30. Many folks realizing that seeing is believing, attended and experienced a shock of delight when they arrived. Membrs of the Art Club had transcribed on canvas many an inspiration, and M. H. S. rang with praise for them. After the exhibition the crowd went into the auditorium, where a program consisting of many clever numbers was given. Th e stage was beautifully decorated in an exotic oriental way, and made a de- lightful background for the pantomime. After the program tea and cakes were served to the guests. IN THE SPIRIT OF MOTHER ' S DAY. The Senior Blue Triangle girls entertained their mothers at the Mothers ' and Daughters ' Banquet, which was held Tuesday evening, May the first. Daffodils, lighted candles and the Blue Tri. colors, blue and white, were used in the arrangements of the prettily decorated tables. The illustrious president of the club, Nellie Spencer, did nobly as toastmistress. iMansftrlo Sjtgh Srhool Annual ♦ • Nineteen (JTuirntu-thrcc Toasts to the mothers, to the daughters, to the Past, and to the Future, were cleverly given. A number of musical selections and a very delightful reading followed. The address of the evening was given by Miss Reynolds, who is general secre- tary of the Y. W. C. A. A Gild — a mere girl — was the most interesting subject of her talk. At the close of the program Follow the Gleam, the Y song was sung by the Club members. The banquet was a decided success and why not — when it was to honor our mothers? LAST BUT NOT LEAST. The spirit of good-fellowship, always the keynote of Hi-Y parties reigned su- preme on Saturday, May twelfth, when the club members gave a dinner at the Pagoda as their last social affair of the year. Perhaps, because it was to be the last, they made a marked effort to make it the best. Sweet peas and ferns and dimly lighted lamps made the appointments of the one long table very pleasing. Everyone was asked to eat, drink and be merry during the serving of the delicious dinner and so it happened that everyone did just that. Following the dinner, attention was called to the clever program, and Irvin Brune, acting as toastmaster introduced the speakers of the evening, who gave some impressive toasts. At the close of the program all the fellows rose to their feet to give a toast to the girls and to their leader, Mr. Angel. Thus ended the last social event of the Hi-Y year. A FIRST ATTEMPT. As the result of excellent supervision and unusual talent the Freshmen party, an event of late May, surpassed all expectations. President Beverstock, as chief host, every member of the Freshman class and the faculty members as delighted guests, surely insure the future greatness of ' 26. To Miss Gaver, faculty advisor, and the Freshman officers go the credit for its success. TKJ THIS ON lansftelo ijigh J thaol Annual- Nineteen JTujentu,-three 2| AM the Spirit of Fun. I seek to create in youth, a sense of humor. I make it possible for him to pause upon life ' s highway and forget the serious problems in moments of rec- reation. I flavor life with bits of wit and humor and seek to bring forth the comic side of life which draws men closer to their associates. If youth may go along the way, able to laugh when things look dark- est and helping others to laugh also — that will manifest the worth of my existence. miMi Hi iilli ii IRE SPIRIT- FUN SHINE , iM.

Brripr for ilDiuiltnuts In the preparation of this justly famous delicacy the beginner cannot be caution- ed too strongly to be careful and select large, firm holes. Those in which any crack or other blemish appears, no matter how seemingly trivial, should be ruthlessly dis- carded, if the best results are to be obtained. The shape of the hole is immaterial, as some prefer square holes to round ones and vice versa. After the hole is secured, the next essentials are the dough and the nuts, al- most any kind of dough may be used, but in the selection of the nuts somewhat great- er care must be taken. Nuts discarded from the family fliver may be used or those in Report Room 9 and 12 will suffice. ■ o o:c ch}c h o : c oock The Aultman Taylor Mchy.

Compliments THE MANAGEMENT OPERA HOUSE, mansfield, ohio RECIPE FOR DOUGHNUTS— Continued Mix the dough and nuts together and then shape artistically around the hole, grading or beveling carefully the slopes. After the dough has become set the hole may be carefully removed and the remainder fried. Axle grease, or that used by Ray Fields on his hair, has been recommended as a frying compound by some enthusiastic being, favored both because of the rich color and piquant flavor which it imparts to the finished product. After frying, the doughnuts may be put to a variety of uses, of which I will enumerate only a few. The ingenuity of the maker will suggest others: 1. Spare tires for a Ford or Star. 2. Pacifier for a baby. 3. Equipment for playing quoits. 4. Hoops for very young children. The shape also makes them peculiarly adapted for use as life savers, but I do not guarantee that doughnuts made from this recipe will sustain an adult person in the water for a longer period than five minutes. Oh, yes, I almost forgot, I beg your pardon. Under no circumstances should the doughnuts be eaten. This recipe was compiled from those of Clara Beard, a young Miss in 23 who intends to take up a course of Home Economics at State but you will all agree that she doesn ' t need to go to take up the course.

To many Mansfield people the output of the O-B Factory is a an unnamed mystery. Yet it is hard to go very far without encoun- tering some O-B Products. For instance the street cars, you ride in are equipped with O-B Specialties, they run under a trolley built with O-B Fittings and run on rails which are O-B Bonded. Drive almost any direction from any city and you ' ll go under high voltage power lines carried by O-B Insulators. Travel over an electrified steam road and it is a good even money bet that O-B Material will be on duty. Even on a steam road the automatic signals are often operated by an O-B Bonded track circuit.

DARING HOLDUP ATTEMPTED IN NORTH SIDE VARIETY STORE Yesterday afternoon about 4:30 three bold hold-up men masked and armed enter- ed the confectionery and dry goods store of Joseph Cairns, at the corner of Sixth and Main Streets. Mr. Cairns made a brave at- tempt to resist the outlaws by running out the side entrance, but this entrance was blocked by the appearance of a fourth vil- lian who frightened Mr. Cairns into a faint by thrusting a monkey wrench into his ribs. Mr. Cairns evidently thought that he had been apprehended at the point of a revolver. Cairns was then bound and thrown head first into a barrel of apple butter. Meanwhile the three other bandits were holding at bay the four customers who were in the store. These were Theodore Banks, the famous pickle prince, Madelle Zimmer- man, the tennis champion of international fame because of her defeat of Mademoiselle Leghorn, LeRoy Henderson, a prominent Real Escape man, inventor of water proof fire escapes, and Miss Katherine Sells, manufacturer of Morton screws used in connecting flowers in vases. The bandits then proceeded to gag these afore mentioned customers and to tie them with hair ribbons taken from the shelves of the store. They were then locked in the back part of the store. The bandits then attempted to open the cash register with a hair pin in order to secure several val- uable boxes of invisible pins stored there. It was while they were engaged in this act that they were discovered by Clark Brook, who is associated with the National Ice Co. He drives his own wagon. Mr. Brooks im- mediately began jumping up and down and shouting cries of help! fire! police! murder! About half an hour later chief of police Floyd McLaughlin arrived on his bicycle armed with a shot gun and accompanied by officers Huber Lantz and C. Bruback. The villians were still trying to jimmy the cash register little suspecting that it was unlocked, and it was with little difficulty that these gallant officers of the law took the offenders into their custody. It was with great surprise that the peo- ple of Mansfield learned that the culprits were Ray Fields, Robert Forsythe. Ralph Wilmoth and Willard Ruhl. It is suspected that they were attempting to secure these pins in order to drape their evening suits in accordance with the latest fashions. It will be remembered that these men were all honorable young chaps back in their high school days. The oldest inhab- itants cannot recall any similar offense of these men and as they are good friends of Mr. Cairns, the charge is not likely a seri- ous one unless he should appear against them in mayor ' s court tomorrow, and this is unlikely, as Mr. Cairns is seriously ill as the result of over participation of apple- butter. DEATH IS THREATENED THE BEACON- LIGHT STAFF. Sinister letter was sent incognito today to the hard working staff. Great fear is in- stilled in their minds, altho they are brave- ly proceeding with their work. The sus- picion is formed in the hearts of the threatened that the epistle has been sent by people wishing to avenge articles revealing the true character of these people. The staff hopes to be able to continue with their good work of revealing the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth. ARRESTED FOR SPEEDING. James Andrews, taxicab driver for the Oster Taxicab Co., was arrested today for speeding on Temple Court. Miss Sara Os- ter, owner of the company, appeared in his defense. Andrews made the plea that he didn ' t know how fast he was going. Mayor Marian McGinley pardoned him altho warn- ed him to be more careful in the future, and if he didn ' t realize how fast he was going to notice how fast the buildings were going past. That ought to cure him of the speeding habit. SPECTACULAR FIRE. A great fire was observed last night in front of the magnificent home of Walter Cunning, the great matinee idol. This fire it was learned, was made from the confla- gration of letters from his feminine wor- shippers, which his servant, Roscoe Sulli- van, who is a French butler, (as can be as- certained by his name) was destroying by Walter ' s orders.

Cutthoat and Scandal Editor Myron Burenson Sporting Editor „ Lucile Becker The printing for this paper was done at the shop of Johnson and Sawhill. Miss Johnson, it will be remembered, wrote poetry in her youth. This bent led naturally to the profession of chief type-setter of the firm. Clean-up Sawhill, as his name implies, keeps the white enameled finish of the shop, spotless. FAMOUS FICTIONIST FAVORS FORTUN- ATE FOOLS. Charles Whitman Edits Daily Aids in Counting ' . Charles Whitman, well-known novel writer, author of Whom to Take, Where Why and How, has changed his course from his successful field to an unknown one. His last book of fiction, the most successful publication since The Shiek, is a pathetic plea to girls to pick the right men as stenographers. His latest book is an aid to Senior pupils in high school to teach them to count. Mr. Whitman realize ed the great need for this book during his own high school days. The book teaches pupils to count by Professor Whitman ' s clever and original idea of association of ideas. GREAT NATIONAL PROGIDY DISCOV- ERED. Just lately a great musical composer has been discovered by one of our great musi- cal critics. The name of this youthful composer has been revealed as Albert Roth. Mr. Roth it seems does not play any instrument nor does he claim to be a great singer. He merely has this great talent that what- ever he writes seems to beautifully re- spond to musical instruments. Mr. Roth is now engaged in writing an opera, Marmalade. MARVELOUS MAGENTA MINSTRELS MAKE MIRTH. Mansfield still survives, but a great many of its inhabitants passed from this earthly realm last evening from excess laughter. A most amusing troupe entertained the 400 last evening with many mirthful moments. Many clever witticisms were adroitly deliv- ered by this group. It is a delightful sur- prise to Mansfield to discover that the mem- bers of this quintet are sons and daughters of the native heath — Miss Thelma Haffa, tenor; Miss Louise Booth, bass; Mr. John Leppo, soprano; Mr. Carl Wiekert, alto; and Mr. Kenneth Shaffer, danseur. MISS VIOLA JONES TO BE IN MANS- FIELD IN PERSON. A reception is to be given in honor of Miss Viola Jones, the human fish who has been known to stay under water for 1 7 6 seconds at a time. Professor Lydia Witschi, Professor of International Amuse- ments at the university of Sing Sing; Bea- trice Gerrell, the author of the famous novel, Where ' s Huckelberry Binn? and Mary Miles, well-known architect, who is now engaged in the construction of bean poles to decorate the elevator of the White- house, are among other notables who have received invitations to the affair. FAMOUS NERVE SPECIALIST TO S PEAK TONIGHT. Dr. Karl Wolfard, a former Mansfield man, is to speak at the Police Ball. Dr. Wolfard is famous as a nerve specialist. I have cured hundreds so that in six months time they can pass the gravy dish without spilling a single drop, is Dr. Wol- fard ' s own statement. It was learned today that Marcella Hoff- man, architect, is to have the contract for the new high school building. It is believ- ed that work will begin at least ten or twelve years from now. Dorothy Hunter, President of the International Labor Union, has been consulting with Marjorie Lemon, whose men are the ones to be engaged for the work.

The engagement of Naomani, Countess of Cushman, formerly Miss Naomi Wigton, the famous social queen, to Colonel Herbert Reed Slough, of the American Embassy, was privately announced in court circles late yesterday. The engagement was very unex- pected as Colonel Slough was supposed to have been enamoured of Mme. Dorothy Rhinehart, the beautiful opera singer. Of course that was not the Colonel ' s only af- fair. He was known to have been in love with Mile, Miriam Rife, Greenwich Village Queen, and was rumored to have an affair with Dorothy Ebert Warburton, divorced wife of the Marquis de Warburton. But as a result of several duels in which the gal- lant Colonel was embroiled these affairs were hushed up. The wedding will be private and it will take place at the Countess ' town residence, Bakebeans House, with Rabbi Arden Strang conducting the ( remony. Lady Wilma James Lemon will be maid of honor and the Honorable John Watkins, Esquire, will be best man. Many beautiful gowns were worn by so- ciety ' s smart women at this season ' s dog races at Kerr Gardens. Gladys Bowers, in- ternational golf champion was there, re- splendent in baby blue China silk. Her companion, Ruth Culbertson, the editor of the Ladies ' Home Hints, wore black lace draped over light pink sateen. The two were very striking together. Mr. Kerr, whose millions have been acquired as a race fan, wore a handsome black coat edged with braid with trousers of the same color which blended beautifully. His wife, form- erly Miss Isabel Bogan, wore a red plaid suit. Mrs. Kerr is said to be one of the main factors in the determination of wom- en ' s styles, being well known as an artist before her marriage. Immediately follow- ing the races, peanuts and candy were pass- ed to the guests. (For results of the races see the sport page of this issue.) SELEBBATED SEA SEXTET SOUGHT IN SOCIAL SIRCLES. The well-known sextet — Paye Chamber- lain, creator of Tony Sarg ' s Marionnettes, Madaline Chronister, Thjumb of the Red Gauntlet Tea Room; Mary Courtney, lead- ing ingenue on the legitimate; Louise Cri- der, inventor of Baked Beans; Esther Crall, artist creator of the famous The Spirit of ' 77, and Dorothy Craig. manufacturer of post-holes, have returned to Mansfield for choir dinner dance to be given for them by Elsie Van Guilder, Mansfield ' s Social Queen, originator of the fashions of lacing one ' s shoes. At the time when the sextet was formed it caused a great deal of talk by its cleverness and the discovery that the names of all the artists began with Sea. At first it was found difficult to distinguish this from the sextet from Lucretia. This has been overcome because of the fact that the great renown of this clever sextet can- not help but differentiate it. Displaying exclusively Rex Kalmerton ' s Dresses for Dandy Dames, noted models will appear in Mansfield Friday night. Naomi Banks, who has posed for many famed artists, will display all evening gowns designed for morning wear, while Miss Clara Beard and Thelma Kick, two former follies dancers, will appear in stieet suits for afternoon teas. MUTUAL MICE NOURISHMENT SOCIETY HOLDS MEETING. The Mutual Mice Nourishment Society had a meeting last night at the home for wingless mice. Miss Helen Lyons, who is matron of that institution, acted as hostess. A paper was read on The Care and Nour-. ishment of Feeble-minded Mice, by Miss Mary Hagerman, premier ballerine, pupil of Mme. Passerparine, who has taken up mice as her hobby. Miss Hagerman ' s paper was full of pathos- and emphasized the duty of every American citizen to poor mice. Plans for the future were discussed and Miss Naomi Bender, assistant pastor of the fairly reverent Darrel Faust, of this city, was appoined chairman o f the program committee. Monsieur George Snyder, fashionable Modiste, of Maison Georgia, reveals start- ling methods of designing costumes. Mon- sieur George confesses his creations are all children of his own brain. His method of creation is to imagine an ideal woman and imagine clothes that would be stun- ning, becoming, permissible, unbecoming and hideous on her. He materializes these imaginations and er-sells them. PRINCIPAL REMEMBERED ON BIRTH- DAT. Miss Maigaret Leopold, who for ten years has served as Principal of Mansfield High School, was presented with a gold plated tin cup last night by the students of that school in honor of her birthday. RIDING SCHOOL Major Clarence Hien, Supt.

NOTED BEAUTY SUES MILLIONAIRE PBODUCER FOE SLANDER. Miss Elizabeth Kegg, world-famous ac- crobatee, sues her millionaire manager, Glenn Jolly, for slander. He ruined my reputation, sobbed the beautiful brunette to the jury. Among the austere body many handkerchiefs were seen (this being a bad season for spring colds.) Mr. Jolly, it appears refused to let Miss Kegg wear her glasses (without which she never appears) when she gave her evening performance, saying that they were a mar to beauty, Question over-ruled — next case was the decision of Judge Leeta Schaffer, who is famous for her clear insight in these mat- ters.

Elanor Knell, librarian, wishes to an- nounce the addition of three and a half new books to the Mansfield Library made by J. Pierpont Bahl, manufacturer of glass curling irons for bald-headed men. The books are: Sophistication as An Aid to Cave Dwell- ers, by Ruth Smith. New American History, by the famed his- torian, Sybil Scott. Peaches and Cream, by Virginia West. The half book was written by Rhea Mc- Gregor, famous Paris dilletante. A book causing a great deal of comment and astonishment in literary circles is a marvelous piece of work done by Glenn Erdenberger, How to Be Great in Spite of Yourself. Altho his first venture in this field Mr. Erdenberger has achieved an ac- complishment most worth while. Several important reseach experiments are being made by two young philosophers. They have made a great deal of headway and if an unforseen disaster does not arise conclusions will soon be reached. These young men, Mr. Shirley Beam and Mr. Abraham Lantz, are working to discover where the material of the holes in stock- ings go. The result will be a great benefit to mankind.

You know I ' m some Baker, she told reporters with a smile. Miss Wilberta Brown, owner and proprietess realizes the importance of Miss Baker ' s acceptance as an advertisement for her cafe, Runn Inn, and stated today that there would be no restrictions upon Miss Baker ' s choice of materials. SENSATIONAL HOLD-UP! Miss Geraldine Adams, daring aviatrix, played the part of a brave heroine when a villainous looking bandit accosted her in broad daylight at the corner of Fourth and Main Streets, and demanded a lock of her hair, thrusting a gun into her face. The young woman was not to be daunted by any mere man, and gave him a push, the velocity of which upset the robber, knock- ing him into the gutter. The valiant young lady then called Policeman Henry Shroeder, who led the victim of the young woman ' s wrath to the police station, where the robber gave his name as Jack Robbins, alias Black Jack. Judge Elizabeth Boy- er sentenced him to sixty days -in the arm chair. IRVIN HIRAM BRUNE ' S ADVICE TO WORRIED MOTHERS.

Mr. Kiplinger recently held seance with his controlling spirit Julius Caesar, who made known to him that by 2050 no one born in 1900 or before would be in existence. This has caused a great deal of fright and many people are prepar- ing for death. JOCKEY RULEY IN SEASON ' S RACES. Jockey Ruley pulled in one ninety-ninth of a second sooner than any of the others. Blue Sox, the favorite canine of Kerr ' s kennels, is given the yellow ribbon. (Yellow is substituted for the usual blue because it is more becoming to the brown haired canine.) The race started with Jockey Rose Nixon leading on White Hose. How- ever in less that a half an hour ' s time Jockey Ruley gained the lead which she kept until the end of the race.

Sotlierlaiid Detective Agency If you can ' t catch ' em, we can Miracles do happen INEZ SOTHERLAND Big Chief THE BEACON -LIGHT McCLUKE URGES MURPHY BE TRIED UNDER NEW HARBAUGH LAW. Famous Senator Pleads for ' Reformation. Ruth McClure, famous Senator from Georgia, urges that Paul Murphy be tried under law proposed by Harbaugh and ex- post facto law be abandoned. According to this law which Irene Har- baugh, formed, proposed and started in Congress, and which quickly passed both . the House and Senate by the necessary 1-3 vote, states that no person shall touch, mar, move or deface the property of another. Mr, Murphy, at seems, destroyed an ant hill situated 9-10 in his yard and 1-10 in that of his neighbor, Mr. Harold Fraser, the rubber heel king. Mr. Fraser started ac- tion immediately against Mr. Murphy, who, it will be remembered came into world wide prominence for his criticism of Hot Tamale, the famous novel by Betty Tullos, the noted spiritualist. The theme of the novel is: The quality of mercy is not strained But easy the descent into Averines And what is more you ' ll he a man, my son. Thjis novel, with Miss Adeline Hoffman ' s auto biography, ranks as two of the world ' s best sellers. Miss Hoffman spent the years of the late war in the devastated regions of the Malay Penninusala and tells of many amusing incidents with the savage tribes. Mr. Selby Houston is in the Mansfield Hospital, having sustained an injury, caus- ed by the falling of a piano on his toe.

It is claimed that Mr. Houston is planning to sue: 1st, the Stein- way Co.; 2nd, Zoa Pittinger, the move-it expert and owner of the Pittinger Transfer Co., and 3rd Katherine Terman, in whose office the accident occurred.

Miss Lorentz, a prominent wel- fare worker, has shown her altruistic spirit by donating the coliseum free of charge for the battle. The bout was fast and furious. Dickson began by slapping Ihrig on the wrist. Ihrig answered this by pushing Dickson who almost lost his equilibrium. However he seized Battling Harley ' s hand and played ring-around-the-rosy until Dick- son fell and hit his nose, which began to bleed. This was the worst injury sustained and it unnerved Dickson who did not re- cover. The bout was decided in favor of Ihrig.
