NIE' , .ri .-. l l McGufTey was founded in 1910 primarily to provide a place for the students in the Teachers' College of Miami to practice under trained supervisors. However, the high school, not a four year course until 1912, has developed both materially and scholastically until it has today a rec- ord which few schools its size may claim. The lVlcGuffey of today, drawing its enrollment from Oxford and Oxford Township, Bath, Somerville, Darr- town, Collinsville, and Israel Township, is a center of learning and an institution for the building of better citi- zens and the furthering of democracy. af R D EJ WILLIAM IIULMES MBGUFFEY In the late autumn of 1826 a sandy-haired Scotch- man named William Holmes McGuffey rode into our little village of Oxford where he was to conduct ex- periments in child psychology which were to have a far-reaching influence. In his home on Spring Street he personally directed the elementary edu- cation of a class of village children and noted the reactions of the children to various education meth- ods. From these studies he conceived the ideas for his famous McGuffey Readers whose wholesome philosophy and homely teachings are quoted and loved to this day. The influence of this remarkable and kindly teacher is today greatly felt within the walls of the school which proudly bears his name. REMEMBER? DO YOU REMEMBER? '? ? ? ??

WEEB EWBANK MILDRED WOHLFORD Sports in McGuffey play an important part in the lives of each of the students and in school activities. To Weeb Ew- bank, the coach and director of the boys' sports, and to Mildred Wohlford, faculty advisor of the G.A.A. and direc- tor of the girls' sports, the student body of McGuffey wishes to extend an expression of deep gratitude for their fine work.

Q F 0 0 T B A L L THE CHAMPS, McGuffey opened its football season with the an- nual game under the lights against Hamilton Catholic High. Our boys showed promise by trouncing the Ham- ilton boys 27 to 0 after a fairly easy game. Following this, they travelled to Monroe and came back with a 13 to 0 victory. North College Hill was next to fall to Mc- Guffey's onslaught, 12 to 6. The next feather in our cap was a dandy win over Richmond to the tune of 39 to 0 after a hard fought game. Came following, a game with Fairfield, who now lies crushed in a 45 to 7 defeat. One of the best games of the year was formed when Hartwell, a class A school, invaded Oxford. Both teams scored in the first quarter, and then they settled down to a midfield battle until the fourth quarter when McGuffey finally managed to push over a touchdown. Hartwell couldn't recover, and the game ended with McGuffey in the lead 14 to 7. The boys were now beginning to se an undefeat- ed season. In the next game, our boys pushed over Dayton, Ky. 21 to 0 in a very good game. Thence came the day for the game with Norwood to finish the season. Ewbank's boys, with a glint in their eyes, travelled to Norwood, and returned with an 18 to 0 scalp, the Little Southwestern League Championship, and an undefeated season. FIIDTBALL At the annual banquet, letters were presented to those eligible. Those playing enough were: Capt. Dick Minnis, Bob Cook, Dick Hunsinger, Dick Heckert, Bob Howald, Joe Kirkpatrick, Willis Hefner, Stewart Magaw, Bill Manrod, Paul Lewis, Bill Pheanis, Tom Sizelove, Gibson Tharp, Andy Caldwell, Eddie Cunningham, Lyle Davis, Paul Hendricks, George Hunsinger, Bob Johns- ton, Malcolm Phipps, Erwin Russell, Bob Spenceley, Malcolm Teetzel, Basil Ward, John Young, John Denni- son, Charles Fuller, and Jim Spenceley. Some of these boys, however, were inelegible for letters, having receiv- ed them last year. George Hunsinger was elected cap- tain of next year's squad, and he hopes, as does Coach Ewbank, that they will have as good a team then as they had this year. The team will be weakened considerably by the graduation of Joe Kirkpatrick, Bill Pheanis, Bob Howald, Tom Sizelove, Bill Manrod, Dick Heckert, Stew- art Magaw, Dick Hunsinger, Bob Cook, Paul Lewis, Gib- son Tharp, Willis Hefner, and Capt. Dick Minnis, but we all hope the coming boys will be able to fill in. BASKE'l'BAI.l.

Any team with only three losses to seventeen wins deserves credit. Dur- ing the season, McGuffey lost only to Monroe, Aurora, and Fairfield. The list of wins includes Camden, Celina, Brownsville, Wyoming, Dayton Stivers, Walnut Hills, Liberty, Eaton, College Corner, North College Hill, St. Xavier, Hamilton Catholic, Dayton Wilbur Wright, Springfield, Alumni, and Piqua. Some of these games were rather one- sided, but two of them gave the boys a real tussle. These two were with Day- ton Stivers and College Corner. In the first, the lead see-sawed back and forth throughout the whole game. With only IIASKETIIXI I a minute to play, a McGuffey boy swished a foul shot and put the men in green ahead. It looked for a mo- ment like they might lose this lead, but George Hunsing- er put it on ice when he recovered a wild pass and sank it from the middle of the Hoor. The horn ended the game with the score standing in favor of McGuffey: 21 to 18. The latter was a better game yet. It started with the earmarks of a masscre by McGuffey. The College Corn- er boys recovered in the second half, and were leading during the last five or so minutes by one point. Then, with only seconds remaining, one of McGuffey's guards sank a long one from behind the foul circle. When the horn sounded the end of the game a few seconds later, the spectators went wild and jumped all over the floor. There were several other exciting games, but none of them compared to these two. The chances of the team's going to Columbus in the tournament this year looked fairly good. Chances look- ed better yet when McGuffey landed in the weaker bracket in the district tournament. The first game, against Building Trade School, was a pushover 60 to 6. In the quarter-finals, McGuffey was slated to meet Wy- oming. The world looked pretty rosy because our boys had beaten Wyoming in the regular season 32 to 21. The tournament was a different story, however. Both teams battled like champions with McGuffey trailing until the last moment, the boys then tied the score for the first time in the game. Then Wyoming sank a short shot, and before our team could recover, the game was over, with the score 26 to 24 against us. Stu Magaw and George Hunsinger led the Green Dev- ils' scoring attrack. Bill Pheanis was the most depend- able defensive player while Joe Kirkpatrick, Lyle Davis, and Dick Hunsinger contributed valuable all-around play. Cunningham, Hal Fichter, Richard Heckert, and Bob Cook ably contributed to the season's fine record with steady play at their positions. Each boy received his letter as material evidence of an exceptionally fine season of basketball under the extraordinary supervision of Coach Ewbank. i A. BASEBALL BASEBALL 1941 At the time of this writing, the season is too young to see any results from the baseball squad. The season is, however, old enough to see what the prospects are of its being successful. The squad is somewhat riddled since several of last year's regulars are not with us this year, but the coming boys show promise of making up some of the lost strength. The year's schedule includes two games each with several of the neighboring high schools. One game with each team will be played here, and the remaining games will be away. On the whole, McGuffey seems to have a somewhat better than average chance of having a successful season in baseball.

TENNIS 1941 With four experienced letter men returning to the courts, this year's tennis team is expectd to have a very successful season. The varsity will compete with Lebanon, Hamilton High School, Connersville, Eaton, Richmond and Hamilton Catholic. The highly rated 1941 team has for its members Bob Cook, Bill Glasgow, John Young, Hal Fichter, and Richard Heckert. The doubles team will enter the sectional tournament held at Cincinnati on May 17th. ?'11iH.'9iE f i--- 'J ii Q?

The Girls' Athletic Association has proven, in the past seven years, to be one of 'the most outstanding activities for the girls of McGuiTey High School. The organization promotes the opportunity to have more pleasure playng with a group, more and better exercise, and to learn good sportsmanship. The organization is governed by the executive board which consists of the president, vice president, secretary treasurer, and a representative from each class. The members are proud to claim Miss Wohlford as their faculty advisor. The school year is made up of four seasons as far as the G.A.A. is concerned. The girls choose the sports in which they wish to participateg the following being the most popular: dancing, soccer, tennis, volley ball, and bowling. A letter is presented to a girl who has earned twelve hundred points, a numeral is given for six hundred points. Last year an additional award was presented to those senior girls who continued showing an interest in the associationg awards are not based entirely upon points. Other than sports, the G.A.A. carries on the following activities: September-Mixer for new-corners. November-G.A.A. Initiation and Soc- cer Feed. January-G.A.A. gave a dance. February-A chili supper and informal initiation. May-Play Day. Public dance recital. J une-A very effective formal banquet is held for presentation of awards and for the installation of new ofiicers of the coming year. J MUSIC MIXED CHORUS During this year the McGuffey Glee Club has given several enjoyable concerts. The first semester Mrs. France, a substi- tute director who took the place of Miss Adams, conducted the chorus with the assistance of Miami students in the music de- partment. The second semester Miss Adams returned and again took over the director's position. In April the chorus sang in the annual Southwestern Music Festival but for criticism only. There were many representatives from the chorus in the Butler County Festival, and the Spring Concert, given in Benton Hall each year, proved to be on of the most successful. ORCHESTRA The McGuffey High School orchestra, comprised of fourty- four members under the direction of Prof. A. D. Lekvold, has appeared before the public numerous times this year. A month after school started in the fall it traveled to Cincinnati to the Taft Music Hall to play for the South Western Ohio Music Teachers, Convention. Other performances included playing at the P.T.A. meeting in November, at the Music Festival in March in which -it entered for criticism only because of winning Regional two years, ago and at the annual Spring Concert. The orchestra was well represented at the annual Butler County Orchestra Meet. Mr. Lekvold is constantly striving for a larger orchestra and has personally trained students in instruments heretofore lacking in the orchestra. Benton Hall is used for practices through the courtesy of Miami University which also has offered many instruments for the orchestra's use. McGuf- fey, which, unlike most schools, does not have a band, is more than proud of its exceptional orchestra.

It is made up of nine mem- bers from the Mixed Chorus who show special ability in singing. Un- der the direction of student conductors and Miss Adams, it has per- formed at various places this year. It made its first appearance at the Netherland Plaza Hotel for the teachers' convention in November. Since then it has sung for the P.T.A., Kiwanis, the Oxford Music Club, and at intermssion for the Citamard Plays. In the Spring it made fine showings at the district festival and in the spring concert. MUSIC FESTIVAL Miami University has been for several years the gathering place for southern Ohio music lovers. There are soloists of all kinds, en- sembles, and large groups in great variety take part in the annual dis- trict Music Festival. This year McGuffey was well re-presented in the solo division. Those who entered for vocal competition were: Ruth Ann Charles, soprano, Janet Smyser, rnezz-o soprano, Joan Bradley, alto, John Young, tenor. Janet Srnyser and Joan Bradley received superior, state, for their ratings while Ruth Ann Charles received ex- -cellent and John Young and Hal Fichter good. Those who entered for criticism in the voice division were: Elsa Jane Baer, soprano, Marl Lou Beal, alto, and Ervin Russell, baritone. The two who entered for competition in musical instruments were Herbert Wickenden, who re- ceived superior with his violin, and Mary Peters, who received excel- lent with a piano solo. BOYS' OCTET The Boys' Octet, composed of eight boys from the Mixed Chorus, is led by a student conductor under the supervision of Miss Adams. They have appeared at the P.-T.A., the Music Woman's Club, as an attraction at the Spring Dance, at the district festival, and finally at the spring concert in May.

CLUBS FRENCH CLUB The McGuffey French Club has been unusually active this year. The first meeting was held at the home of Marjorie Brown. At this time sixteen new members were initiated into the organization. The November meeting was held at the home of Betty Van Winkle. A review of a recent book by a noted French author composed the program evening. In February, a school meeting was held and Mlle. Monigue Mam- oiseau, the French exchange student at Western, talked on the school system in France. For the April meeting a play was presented by the Miami French Department called HA' Louer Meublef' The Miami exchange student spoke to us at the May meeting. A gala picnic wound up the activities for the year. LATIN CLUB The present officers, elected in September, of the Latin Club are Consuls, Bob Bryant and Ruth Becker, Praetor, Mary Patten, Censor, Jim Spenceleyg Quaestors, Bob Kreger and Judy Williams, Tribunes, Ann Van Voorhis and Mary Jo Harrison. The new members were initiated at a meeting held in room 351 McGuffey on Nevember 27th. Reports on Roman Festivals and initiation based on the punishment in the under- world formed the meeting. The second meeting was held De- cember l8th at the residence of Betty Lou Whitney. Anagrams, using Latin words, was played, and a new member was initiat- ed. At McGuffey again another meeting was held on January 29th. The second year class in Latin gave reports on the Aneid by Virgil, and a quizz game and refreshments followed. In the Spring other interesting meetings were held that make a dead language somewhat alive. FRENCH CLUB Left to right: First row: Irene Kardaras, Betty Van Winkle.

SCIENCE CLUB V his The Ecneics Club, an organization of students interested in science, takes an important place among the different organ- izations in McGuffey. This club was founded in 19395 it now contains nearly twenty-five members. As a result of the vote of the whole group, the club worked on a display case and a photographer for the science department. The group has tak- en trips through a few of the neighboring industrial plants in order to gain a better knowledge of production. The whole organization stands for the promotion of science in McGuffey.

CITAMARD The Citamard Club has been very active and successful this year by producting three plays, all of which were highly commendable. Mrs. Heiser, with occasional help from university students, directed the first two plays, Between Dances and The Tangled Web. These plays were given Friday night, December 6, 1940. Don't Feed the Animals was given for an assembly on the 27th of March. This play was direct- ed by two members, Jane Martin and Bertie Kersting. In all the plays there are fine cooperation and interesting jobs of dramatic value for all. l Back Stage Tangled Web On Stage Between Dances DRADIA SENIOR PLAY The senior class of 1941 showed its talent in play producting, by presenting The Three Graces which was written by Keyon Nicholson and Dana Reed. Mr. Wilbur Blume, of Miami university, was the eminent di- rector under the supervision of Miss P. M. Corl. The following characters appeared in the three act play: i l CAST Nancy Marshall ........

One of McGuffey's most imformative and school-spirited institu- tions is its school paper, The Mirrorf, The staff is composed of the members of the Journalism class which operates as a small newspaper office during laboratory periods. Mrs. Heiser, faculty adviser of the paper and instructor of the Journalism class, expressed the opinion that the Mirror this year has made an exceptional record and is one of the finest weekly newspapers to be put out by a small school. The editor, Louaine Williams, tributes the success of the paper to the ex- cellent co-operation of the entire staff. REFLECTOR STAFF Editor-in-chief. . . Assistant Editors.

If any issues concerning the school arise, the Student Council, composed of three members from each class, debates as to what action is to take place. The elections take place at the beginning of the year and at the semesters, therefore replacing half of the group at a time so that those who remain are experienced to train the newcomers. Operating under the Student Council are the General Fund and Noon Hour Committees. Per- haps the largest project to be under taken by a Student Council is the promotion of the new Public Address Sys- tem. Several assembly motion pictures were presented, paper was collected, and a system of saving tax stamps was set up. The Student Council is an organized, effi- cient, well managed form of student government which lives up to America's democratic ideals.

People go to take the test in each subject in which it is offered, and usually make very good showings for themselves and for McGuffey.

CLASS OF '41 IN THE FUTURE In that great metropolis of New York, many years from now, we find ourselves exploring. First we enter that well-known Wall Street and, in one of the best buildings, we enter the office of ROBERT COOK who has acquir- ed the title of Wizard of Wall Street by making and losing three fortunes. We find Bob read- ing MARY ANN THOME'S latest novel, The Bloody Hatchet which is the fifth in a series of popular mysteries by that famous author. Coming out of the build- ing, we spy RICHARD HECK- ERT, now a peanut vendor, who started in the business when his ingenious mind invented the for- mula for synthetic peanuts. From him we learn that MARJORIE CAMPBELL is running for Sen- ator in the coming election. In- vestigating the cause for confu- stion at the street corner we dis- cover that LOUAINE WILL- IAMS, now one of the few taxi cab drivers in the country, is arg- uing with polceman JOE KIRK- PATRICK. Not wishing to get envolved in the trouble, we contin- ue our way down the sidewalk only to be blocked by a crowd that has gathered about a force- ful orator who turns out to be our former -class mate HARRY FEL- BLINGER. Amid angry shouts of Down with hair cuts, we enter our hotel. Manager DALE CRAIG states, I am now a successful ho- tel manager due to mail order training. Crossing the lobby we hear a familiar voice paging a patron of the hotel. The posses- sor of the booming voice is bell boy WILLIS HEFNER from whom we buy tickets to DONALD DOAN'S lecture on How Don- ald Duck Cartoons Are Made with sound effects. We are about to enter the elevator when a cigarette girl approaches us. We recognize her as JANICE DEVOR. At din- ner time we are entertained by several fam- ous artists among whorn we find tapdancer BILL PHEANIS, the ballet dancer MAR- GIE BROWN, and the well known singer BETTY GRAY. The next morning we visit the Metropolitan Museum. There we see a life-size portrait of HERBERT WICKEN- DEN. The placard underneath states that, after years of research, he perfected the tel- escope that discovered a new planet now named Wickenden Planet. In another part of the museum, as was shown to us by our guide GORDEN INNMAN, we admire a statue by the popular sculpture of the year, BOB HOWALD. Later on in the afternoon we attend a gymnastic lesson taught by ANNA SCHLABACH and a band concert of the Sassy Class Swingers directed by DICK HUNNSINGER. Dick's trio, DORO- THY ALSTON, BARBARA KENNEDY, and BETTY VAN WINKLE, sang a specialty number Written by that master of tunes, TOM SIZELOVE. We also visited JOAN SMITH'S day nursery and unexpectedly met JOHN WILSON selling mechanical novel- ties on the street corner. When question- PRIIPIIECY ed about the whereabouts of DICK MIN- NIS, John tells us that Dick had his head shaved and became a monk. That evening in a crowded night club we happened on VERNON HEITFIELD in top hat and tails, conversing with a group of prominent radio experts. Vernon relates the story of his success on his ranch in Arizona and how he left the place in charge of his cowboy over- seer, PAUL ALBERT. BILL GLASGOW, who sat at the table next to us, said he was the bookeeper of a Chevrolet branch. He says, quote: How did I ever come to this! unquote. Unable to ignore loud laughing and shouting, we discover MARY ALICE HERRON and STU MAGAW telling jokes to each other. They are partners in a gum drop monopoly. After tipping the pretty hat check girl, DOROTHY WITHROW, and bidding doorman RALPH KELLER good- night, we left the night club. While having breakfast in bed the next morning, we came upon an article in Life about JANET THOMPSON who became a missionary and married a Chinese silk worm owner. The morning newspaper announced the depar- ture of FRED HARGRAVES to Arentina where he will visit several of his old friends. We also read through the Advice to the Lovelorn column by MARSUE MCGINN IS. Taking a morning walk we passed a hair goods store owned by PAUL LEWIS, who is said to have the most beautiful red hair wigs in the city. A few blocks away we entered HELEN RUHLMAN'S pet shop. Helen says she buys all her birds from JOHN FISHER, who lives n the tropics and owns a feather farm. Stopping for a bit of refreshment, we .patronize JANEANNE REYNOLDS who is selling foot-long hot- dogs. Across the street in competition is IMOGENE ROSS' Bar-B-Q. Buying from both stands, we then called on MARTHA SCHRIEVER, a rug weaver, who told us the story of JIM HOWARD who left a few weeks ago in his home built rocket ship for Mars. While we were talking to Martha, GLENNA KELLER came in to order a rug for the Hoor of her new home in Maine where she spends her time collecting Vogue mag- azines. That night we attended a stage production of MacBeth in which starred CECIL WIDOW and VIRGINIA THOMP- SON. HILDA SHERRAD sold the tickets while GIBSON THARP ushered us to our seats. Deciding to make the evening one of shows, we went to a motion picture featur- ing our old McGuffey friend BILL MAN- ROD who has become a movie star and is now known as Tyrone Rodman. We recog- nized GERRY QUILLAN sitting directly in front of us. She is a modern dance teacher at Miami-Jacobs and is on her vacation. At the airport the following morning our lug- gage is put into place but hostess JOAN NAYLOR. Just as pilot KENNETH STE- VENS is about to take off we are stopped by a group of women. They are members of the No Cruelty to Animals Society who are protesting against our taking our pet Panda on so dangerous a journey. President VIRGINIA BROOKS, with her right hand women BETTY ALSTON, DORIS THOMP- SON, and RUTH EICHEL, manages to drag the panda from the ship. After a great deal of commotion, we take off, bidding goodbye to reporters PHILLIS DUNNS-IETH and PAULINE ERHART and photographers NAOMI TRUSTER an d ROSEMARY HEIMLICH who were covering the story for the New York Times. And thus we of the future bid you of the past farewell and leave with you our last words: It's a small world. This space is given for an informal but great Thank You to all the advertisers who have pur- chased space in this book. Needless to say, there would be no Reflector if these concerns had not given their kind support. HORNUNG MEAT MARKET Furnisher of Quality . . FISH ..OYSTERS MCFALL , , POULTRY FURNITURE CU. . .

Own With Pride Main and Park Place All Passengers Insured 60 Mr. Hunger We are certain that our present Seniors, and others, will remem- ber the old gray-haired man who formerly policed our football games. It was through him, and during his principalship, that McGuffey ath- letics really began to make progress. Besides laying the foundation for a sound athletic association, his leadership enabled the team and school to maintain high ideals of sportsmanship. He would never per- mit a poor student or a boy under discipline to participate in sports, even before our State Association made such rules. This man was Mr. Charles S. Bunger, who one summer decided to make an athletic field for McGuffey teams. He cleared off a space large enough for this purpose on our present athletic field. He dug ditches and cleared off rocks to make the place something other than a marsh. This work was just finished seven years ago when the Univer- sity installed drainage tiles, and last year an addition of extra bleachers helped to make our field a better one. So, the field has been improved and completed, with one thing lacking-a name. But now, this is to be remedied, for, with the ap- proval of faculty, alumni, former coaches and athletes, and the student body, the field is to be called Bunger Fieldf' It seems very fitting and proper for this to be so, and we hope that as many fine teams and games will grace the field, Bunger Field in the future as have done so in the past.
