' , , , Printed by Oxford P RE VOLUME XVIII OF THE FLECTOR Edited by the '4Reflector staff of the William McGuffey High School ting Co. June, 1939 HISTORY Dr. J. W. Heckert, the present Director of lVIcGuffey School and Professor of Education at Miami University, founded Mc- Guffey School in the year 1910, as a practice teaching labora- tory for Miami's School of Education. In 1910, there was only a two year high school course, in 1911, another year was added, and in 1912, the full four year curriculum was set up. At first the lVlcGuffey School building occupied only the south-west wing, which is being remodeled this year. The school was named for William Holmes lVIcGuffey, the famous educator and author of the lVlcGuffey Readersf, who was teacher of English at Miami from 1826 to 1836. The first principal of lVIcGuffey was Mr. Schwartz. He was succeeded by Mr. Charles S. Bunger, who held the position until his death in 1935. Dr. Ober Slotterbeck was acting principal for a year until Dr. Coleman came in 1936. lVIcGuffey, besides being an excellent training school for teachers, has had many students making high scholastic records in various colleges. McGuffey, also, provides that its graduates may enter any state college without taking entrance examina- tions. 2 MCGUFFEY Inasmuch as our building was be- ing remodeled this year, students and teachers had to strive harder to over- come the many obstacles which arose. We feel, however, that this year has been to our advantage in that Mc- Guffey has proved that it can survive under many difficulties. 3 This annual is dedicated to the principal of McGuffey,,' Dr. J. H. Coleman, whose tireless efforts have enabled lVlcGuffey to maintain her high standards through a year of try- ing circumstances.

The national orchestra contest was held in various regions this year with no one contest for the entire nation. The McGuffey orchestra, under the baton of Professor A. D. Lekvold, can readily claim national laurels by having won first place in the central region. The orchestra entered the national contest after receiving superior ratings at both the district and state contests. Mr. Wil- son LeVan directed the orchestra in both the district and state events which were held at Oxford and Columbus respectively. MIXED CHORUS The girl's and boy's glee clubs were combined this year into a mixed glee club under the direction of Miss Catherine Adams. Miss Adams, aided by student teachers in Miami's School of Education, led the new group in five public performances throughout the year. At the Southwestern Ohio music con- test the glee club received a rating of excellent after competing with schools from all over southwestern Ohio. 25 NSEMBLE McGuffey has never been so active in music as this year. Besides the regular orchestra and glee club and the unusually large group of soloists, three vocal ensembles and one instru- mental ensemble were organized. The mixed quartet composed of Anastasia Minas, sopranog Marjorie Moore, altog Addison Wilson, tenorg and Bob Fichter, bass made several public per- formances including the Southwestern Ohio music contest. The quartet won an excellent rating at this contest and was advanced to the state contest at Oberlin. Here the quartet received a rating of good in competition with class A schools. The girl's triple trio, consisting of Barbara Wright, Geraldine Quillen, Elsa Baer, sopranosg Jane Young, Dorothy Evans, Bar- bara Kennedy, second sopranosg Marjorie Moore, Mary Ann Thome, and Joan Bradley altos, also received an excellent rat- ing at the Southwestern music contest and were entitled to enter the state event. At Oberlin they were granted an excellent rating after a sterling performance. The male quartet made an impressive showing at the district music contest but since their division was crowded with contest- ants from larger schools they did not qualify for the Oberlin event. John Young, first tenorg Edward Roe, second tenor, George Hunsinger, baritone and Dick Fichter, bass comprised the male quartet. The brass quartet made up of Quentin Hyde and Hal Fich- ter, first and second trumpets, Edward Roe and William Glasgow, first and second trombones, appeared before several school func- tions, one of which was the annual spring festival. 26 MIXED QUARTET Addison Wilson, tenor Anastasia Minas, soprano Marjorie Moore, alto Bob Fichter, bass GIRL'S TRIPLE TRIO FIRST ROW: Barbara Wright, Jane Young, Mary Ann Thome, Marjorie Moore.

SECOND ROW: Addison Wilson, Barbara Wright, Geraldine Quillen, Harry Magill. THIRD ROW: George Hunsinger, Edward Roe, Herbert Wickenden. The annual Southwestern Ohio music contest attracted many musicians from this part of the state. Among those entered from McGuffey in the instrumental solo division were Edward Roe, trombonistg Maurene Fields, Marjorie Moore and Herbert Wickenden, violinists. Edward Roe received superior ratings at both the district contest and the state contest which followed. By virtue of his showing at the state event he was entitled to enter the national contest on May 17. Marjorie Moore was awarded an excellent rating at the district event while a violin duet composed ofl Mau- rene Fields and Marjorie Moore also received an excellent mark. Anastasia Minas, Barbara Wright and Geraldine Quillen, sopranosg Jane Young, rnezzo-sopranog Joan Bradley, altog Addison Wilson and Harry Ma- gill, barytones and George Hunsinger, bass were the entrants in the vocal solo division. Anastasia Minas won an excellant plus rating at the district con- test and an excellant at Oberlin. Addison Wilson was awarded superior ratings at both the district and state events and was entitled to enter the national contest at Anderson, Indiana on May 12. 28 ,n -' ---M V1 Fzwrgn' ' ' ,ff-aaa V tffvigglrrri-e 1 , -. ,. , SPRING CCNCERT The annual spring music concert, which has become an out- standing affair on the McGuffey calendar, was held on the eve- ning of May 12 in Benton hall. This year McGuffey has made quite a name for herself in music and the spring concert was certainly an indication of this achievement. The championship McGuffey orchestra under the direction of Mr. A. D. Lekvold and Miami student conductors presented the first part of the program by playing two Bach chorales, a composition by Roberts and the Procession of the Sardar by Ippolition-Ivanow. Maurene Fields and Marjorie Moore played a violin duet which was followed by selections for string orches- tra. Under the baton of Miss Catherine Adams, assisted by Miami student conductors, the mixed chorus presented the works of several famed composers among which were Bach's Come Holy Spirit, Bless Thou the Lord by Ippoliton-Ivanow and Lincoln by Joseph Clokey. Along with the mixed chorus, the girl's triple trio and the mixed quartet sang several madigals. Both the triple trio and the mixed quartet had particapated in the state music contest at Oberlin. 29 v SNAPS I N N45-Q ATHLETICS Barbara Wright, President Alma Jean Finkbine, Vice President Mary Louise Wright, Secretary-Treasurer Board Members Clara Vance, Carol Kersting, Geraldine Quillin FIRST ROW: Marsue McGinnis, Marjorie Brown, Mary Alice Herron, Hilda Beal, Marcine Hefner, Mary Louise Wright.

GIRLS' ATHLETIC ASSOCIATION Since 1934, the McGuffey Senior High girls have had a good opportunity for healthful exercise, as well as enjoyable recrea- tion, through the Girls' Athletic Association. This association is under the supervision of Miss Mildred Wohlforcl. The association has a business meeting each month. The president, vice president, secretary-treasurer, and representa- tives from the senior, junior, sophomore classes form the execu- tive staff or board which decides issues, makes recommendations, and proposes new plans for the association. There are various sports for each of the four seasons. Some of the main sports are modern dancing, bowling, volleyball, bas- ketball, baseball, soccer, tennis, and golf. The program of activities other than the regular sports for the Girls' Athletic Association included: November-G. A. A. initiation and soccer feed , December-G. A. A. football dance. May-G. A. A. play day. J une-Formal banquet at New England Kitchen. At this time awards were given and the coming year's officers were installed. 33 G.A.A TEAM RECORD Total points McGuffey Opponents 176 24 Games won McGuffey Opponents 7 2 FIRST ROW fleft to rightjz Edward Cunningham, Tom Sizelove, Lyle Davis, Andy Caldwell, John Young, Basil Ward, Bob Johnson, Dale Kieser, Ed Thieman, Paul Hendricks, Hal Fichter, Dick Hunsinger, Malcolm Teetzel, Irvin Russel.

' -JI A 41 4 FOOTBALL L 35 FOOTBALL PEEKING THROUGH THE GOAL POSTS The 1938 edition of the McGuffey football team opened its season in good style on September 17 by downing Hamilton Catholic under the lights, 31-0. After starting slowly, the Green team came back to score five touch- downs in the last three quarters while holding its opponents scoreless. The following week an over-confident team journeyed to Monroe where it fell before a powerful eleven, 12-6. This defeat broke the McGuffey winning streak which had lasted over two years, and had climbed to twenty-one victories. McDill accounted for the loser's only score of the game. Playing one of its best games of the season the Green and White ag- gregation again jumped into the winning column by trouncing Eaton 25-0. Fine blocking, running, and defensive work pave the way for the Mac's out- standing victory. The McGuffey touchdowns were scored by Kennedy, Mc- Dill, and Rider. On October 6, the McGuffey HB team captured Trenton by a decisive 27-0 win. Cunningham, who scored twice, and Spencely, who booted three extra points played fine ball for the victorious outfit. McGuffey's injury jinx, which lasted throughout the season, first struck in this contest when Half-back McGinnis left the game with a broken collar bone. Appearing in a starting role for the second straight week, the McGuffey subs overpowered a Seven Mile team 18-0. Good running and passing en- abled the second stringers to chalk up the win. Poor defensive playing the first quarter sent the Green Devils to their second defeat of the season at the hands of a fast Connersville eleven. After allowing their opponents to score in the first period, McGuffey battled the remainder of the game on even grounds with the Indiana boys, who emerged victorious 6-0. Each team made six first downs. Fighting on the new football field for the first time of the 1938 grid campaign, the Weebmen thoroughly whipped a mediocre Fairfield squad 39-0. The McGuffey boys played heads up ball and were alert to recover numerous Fairfield fumbles. Kennedy and Fichter led the Green scoring as each tallied twice. Fine blocking and running which resulted in an impressive 21-6 win over Ludlow, helped McGuffey to continue its victory march. Ludlow opened the engagement with an 85 yard touchdown sprint, but they were held score- less thereafter. Meanwhile the Green and White team plowed steadily onward to pile up twenty-one points and clinch the contest. The 1939 football season came to a grand climax as McGuffey bowled over a confident Norwood team 12-0. A tremendous offensive drive in the first period, which netted touchdowns by Rider and Stamm, provided the winning margin. Norwood continually threatened to score but were repelled by a strong Oxford line. 36 WWF- 3-' V s ff' ,.,,x,,, ,, 'ifgfgg , BOXING Earl Grissom, bantam weight, flew McGuffey's colors in the Golden Gloves boxing tournament at Dayton, Ohio. After a year of hard training under the tutelage of Jay Colville, Miami trainer, Earl entered the Dayton tourney with the confidence of the student body behind him. Although out- weighed, Earl disposed of his first two opponents in easy style and advanced to the semi-finals a favorite to win. An unpopular decision deprieved Grissom of the semi-final bout, but he still remains the popular choice of McGuffey.

Closing the season with a 26-24 win over class A Celina, the green and white team showed as much power as any team that had previously defeated it. This final victory divided the wins and losses on a 50-50 basis of nine each. In tournament action McGuffey lost a poorly played game to Fairfield in the opening round. The services of George Rider, who nursed a knee injury throughout the season, were very dearly missed and necessitated the building of a complete new team, as all the other regulars from the previous year had been lost in graduation. Co-captains McDill and Fichter provided the leadership for Eubank's new team. Besides excellent leadership, McDill showed much speed and deception, while Fichter displayed continuous floor shooting ability and steady guarding. Graham, another addition to the new team, showed natural ability and handled the ball very well. Hyde's sharp-shooting abil- ity was ever being demonstrated at the critical moment, as was Peter's special pivot shot and his indispensable team spirit. Next year, unlike this, McGuffey will have five stars to begin with, in White, Kennedy, Dick Fichter, Alderman, and Minnis. All these boys received valuable experience in this year's games. Other boys with great promise are: Kyger, Magaw, Pheanis and Kirkpatrick. This year's squad upheld the fine sportsmanship and excellent leader- ship which has been McGuffey's boast for years.

The season started with an impressive 2-1 victory over Liberty with D. Graham holding the losers to three hits. Safe blows by Evans, Johnson, and J. Graham in the last inning provided the winning margin for the Oxford boys. The fol- lowing week in a return engagement McGuffey whipped Liberty 7-4. The Indiana diamond men tallied four times in the first stanza but were held scoreless for the remainder of the contest. Kersting and Alderman led the McGuffey attack, each getting two safe hits. The Green team suffered its first setback of the year when Seven Mile invaded Cook's Field and snatched away a 5-3 win. The two ball clubs battled on even terms for the first six innings, but in the last round a costly McGuffey error, a walk, and a double which cleaned the bags, gave the visitors a timely victory. Flick, ace Seven Mile hurler, erased thirteen McGuffey batsmen via the strikeout route while allowing only three base knocks. Sherrard, making his mound debut, pitched fine ball for the losers in the six innings that he worked. The McGuffey boys lost their next game to Eaton by a score of 5-3. Although Eaton was out- hit by her opponents she was able to connect when runs were needed. Hoping to avenge their defeat of the previous week the home nine journeyed to Eaton where they played excellent ball to win 2-1. D. Graham in spite of his wildness, held the opponents to one hit and fanned thirteen while his teammates collected five bingles. In this close battle, McGuffey got off to a slow start but came back to score in the sixth and seventh innings when Ker- sting and Kyger crossed the plate. McGuffey was shut out for the first time of the 1938 campaign when she fell before a Morton team by a 3-0 score. Completely baffled by the Morton pitching the losers were able to make only two hits. The final contest of the season, which was played with Morton was won handily by the McGuffey nine, 4-1. The Green team was aided greatly by five walks and several Morton errors. The McGuffey seniors on the team finished their high school baseball careers in great style, each one making a base hit or scoring a run. 40 BASEBALL Bill Alderman, Bob Cook, Lewis Evans, Bob Ewing, Don Graham, Walter Gra- ham, Dick Heckert, Bob Howald, Dick Hunsinger, Chester Johnson, Dick Ker- sting, Frank Kyger, Stuart Magaw, Bill Pheanis, Don Quillin, Braden Ram- sey, Dick White, Herbert Wickenden, James Williams, TRACK Jack Beneke, Jim Bryant, Jack Dillard, Bob Fichter, Dick Fichter, John Fisher, Earl Grissom, Emerson Guinn, Quentin Hyde, Charles Kennedy, Earl Keiser, Ted Martin, Tom McDill, Murray Peters, George Rider.

Their initial encounter, however, was fruitless due to superior competition from class Aw schools from five states. The green thinly clads atoned for their first set-back by capturing a triangle meet at the expense of College Corner and Lanier. McGuffey took six first places while accumulating 57 points. Due to the lose of George Rider, weight and dash man, McGuffey was deprived of first place laurels at the annual Lanier relays staged at Eaton, Ohio. The following week, however, the Macmen made an impressive showing at the Ohio interscholastic track and field meet. The mile relay team, con- sisting of Charles Kennedy, Tom McDill, Murray Peters and Bob Fichter, took first place while Jack Dillard placed second in the broad jump and 220. McGuffey also placed in the hurdles, lk mile relays and 100 yd. dash. Eubank's charges tied for third place with 23 points, one and one half points behind first place Glendale. In the district meet at Cincinnati, the green devils gathered 15 points while placing five men eligible for the state meet at Columbus. The mile relay team ran third as did the V2 mile relay. Jack Dillard placed second and fourth in the broad jump and 220 respectively. Bob Fichter ran third in the low hurdles while Murray Peters placed fifth in the high hurdles. At the Columbus meet, Dillard tied the state broad jump record of 21 ft. 9V4 in. but failed to take more than fifth place. The mile relay team cap- tured sixth position in the state event. TENNIS-1938 Tennis as a school sport made its first appearance at McGuffey last spring. Although failing to take a match, the green netmen made an impres- sive showing for their first year and gave promise of future success. Under the expert eye of Jack Ross, tennis mentor, the Macmen made rapid progress and were about to take their final contest with Morton when an ill-fated rain deprived them of the victory. The green devils engaged both Eaton and Morton in double matches as well as having a tournament among them- selves. 42 ORGANIZATIONS HI- - CLUB HI-Y CLUB FIRST ROW: Dick White, Bill Alderman, Bob Fichter, Bob Gilmore, Quentin Hyde, Bob Cook, Jim Burnthouse.

SOCIAL ww 2 ax DANCING Our dancing year started September 23, with phonograph music. The shadow of the Monroe defeat of that afternoon hung over us all. Result- the dance was not the gay get-to-gether it should have been. Then the G. A. A. girls came back with a swell affair in honor of the football boys on November 18. Harry Williamson's cadets played under the appropriately decorated green and white paper ceiling. Peggy Ruder was elected queen of the dance with Barbara Wright as her attendent, while the kingship remained a tie between George Rider and Tom McDill. George and Peg occupied the throne while Barb and Tom led the grand march in great style, February 10, we again tried a dance with phonograph music, this time after the Hamilton Catholic basketball game. This was much more successful than the dance attempted after a basketball game last year. In fact, it was so successful that we had another dance after the Celina game. Phonograph music isn't so bad after all if you have the right atmosphere and can hear it. The party committee was at its best March 24 when they gave the annual spring dance featuring Bert Draim's orchestra. This gave everyone a chance to blossom out in their new spring clothes and we found some new romances budding too. We seniors doubted that the juniors could equal the reception we gave last year but Juniors, we had to hand it to you for the one you gave us May 19. Martin's collegians were at their rhythmical best and the decorations were really something to be proud of. The seniors had their last chance to sponsor a dance on June 2. Being old hands at planning dances now, they did things up to the 'nth degree and the senior ball this year was the best ever. 53 SNAPS P U R I T Y LUNCI-IES .
