It has not been their aim to produce a book that would interest a reader unacquainted with Memorial High School, but have put forth every effort to please as many as possible. The real purpose of this book is to serve as a memory of the years spent at Memorial Hi, to serve as a means of binding us to our classmates so that they will prove true friends in the future. If this book serves this purpose, the hard work and time spent by the Staff has not been in vain.

The subjects to be taught were among the most difficult in the High School. He, however, presented them intelligently to the pupils and soon proved that he was capable of filling the difficult position. Mr. Young is a graduate of St. Marys High School and also Miami University, having a Bachelor of Arts degree from that college.

Page 20 the Mirror 1928 Senior Class History In September, 1924, a new class entered a new building-; the new class was the class of 1928 ; the new building was Memorial High School. We were the first Freshmen class to enter the High School and we were quite conscious of the honor. Our president was Lester Hunter, who performed his duties faithfully. It was not difficult for the class to gain a reputation for loyalty to class and school, as well as faithfullness to duty. The Sophomore year was no less successful because our class sup¬ plied a part of the football, basketball, track and debating teams. Our president that year was Elizabeth Coffin. Throughout the year the class had several parties in addition to the High School parties which were attended by almost the entire Sophomore group. As Juniors the class again supplied the major portion of the per¬ sonnel of the various High School Teams and kept its reputation for brilliancy in scholarship as well. The biggest event of the year was the Junior-Senior Reception. Our President, La Doyt Rhodes, surprised everyone by the efficient way in which he conducted it and now we have come to the last of our Hi School days. We are the first class that has spent the entire four years of High School in Memorial High. We are proud of this honor and proud of Memorial High. Our president this year has been Dana Schnarre, who, we are sure, was the only person who could have rilled this place as successfully as it has been filled. Now we, the class of '28, wish to express our gratitude to our teachers, who have been our friends as well, for their quiet understand¬ ing of us all and for their efficient guidance. We wish stio say to them and to our school, Goodbye, Good Luck, God Bless You. Page 21 the Mirror 1928 LILLIAN ALTHOFF “Lillie- Ann” (Classical) Class 1, 2, 3, 4, Com. Club 3, B. Ball 3, 4, Girls A.

I was walking through a forest near Lake St. Marys, when I chanced to come upon an old lady. Her strange attire caused me to think that she might be a rather unusual person. As I came near the place where she was standing she called to me to stop. In answer to my question, she told me she would tell me anything I wished to know. Having traveled in Europe and having been absent from St. Marys ever since my graduation from Memorial High (in 1928), I asked her to tell me where my classmates of 1928 were and what they were doing. This is what she told me. Lester Hunter was now editor of the St. Marys Evening Leader which had a circulation equal to that of the New York Times and the Chicago Tribune combined.

Leroy Wesner and Virgil Sullivan were the most noted mathematicians of their time. Bernadine Walters, Annabelle Wolfkiel, Anna Axe and Edith Krider were married and living in St. Marys. The old lady stopped talking and I turned to thank her but she had vanished. I went home pleased with the news the old lady had given me.

We entered Memorial High School in the fall of 1925 with an enrollment of one hundred ten. With the usual greeness of every Freshman class we wandered aimlessly in the halls for several days. We, however, after a short time became accustomed to the High School life and settled down for some hard work. Our class officers for the Freshman year were: John Roebuck, President; Ruth Steva, Vice President; Harry Critten, Secretary, and Donald Hinton, Treasurer. We were represented in many of the High School activities, especially in athletics. Our Sophomore year proved more successful than our Freshman year. Our enrollment had diminished to ninety-two. For this year our class officers were: Alvin Noble, President; Vincent Hudson, Vice President; Earl Nagel, Secretary, and Harold Thielk, Treasurer. We again took an active part in the activities and several of our members were Football letter men. This our Junior year has proven the best year we have spent in Memorial High School. Our class officers this year are : Vincent Hud¬ son, President; John Gayer, Vice President, and Frederick Hudson, Treasurer. In athletics we shone both in Football and in Basketball having letter men on both teams. We are planning one of the best receptions possible for the Senior Class. We only hope that they will be well pleased. ‘Page 45 the Mirror 1928 “The Class of ’29 in the Year of ’45” One summer evening in the year of '45 as I had some leisure time, I strolled into a public library in Washington, D. C. I happened to come upon the latest editi on of “Who’s Who in America.” In looking through the book I was surprised to find the names of my former class¬ mates mentioned in such a famous book. Thelma Arnold had accepted the position of private secretary to Frederick Hudson, president of the United States. Dorothy Brewer and Katherine Rupert had passed all intelligence tests available in the United States and were at the time trying to surpass those of the European countries. Martha Berg, Edith Mackenbach and Elma Schwepe were exclusive models for the great dress designer, Anna Seimer, of Neptune. Ruth Weiter, and her fiance, Waldon Grundish had established a large onion plant in the West. Everett Springer and Ludeen Neitermeyer were making a big hit in Broadway as the famous and unsurpassed Tango dancers. Leona Bergman, Mary Larkin and Lois Mann had succeeded Miss Williams, Miss Smith and Miss Reay in Memorial High School. Dorthea Botkin and Alfred Heinrich, who have recently announced their engagement, had opened a large chemistry laboratory in France. Margaret Croft, Ruth Holdren and Edna Schamp had joined the Old Maids’ Association of which Esther Wagner was President. Lillian Grieger was working in one of the large ten-cent stores in Boston which was under the management of Willis Howell. Harold Thielk had been chosen the star half-back of the “All American” team. Albert Andreoni had been hired by the Louis Bamberger Clothing store as a model. Catherine Holtman had surpassed Gertrude Ederle as the world s woman champion swimmer. Pauline Horn was the fiist woman to attempt to make a non-stop flight across Finke’s pond. Lucille Vogel, Ruth Steva, Ruth Kellermeyer, Marie Sullivan and Ber¬ nice Deerhake had returned to St. Marys, after many years of absence as the famous quintet and popular entertainers. Lucille Selby was married and living happily in Bradford. Grace Priller had accepted a life position within the country. William Engel Page 46 the Mirror 1928 who had much experience in his younger days in the theater, owned a large theater in Moulton, a suburb of St. Marys. Harry Critten, Vin¬ cent Hudson, Paul Koehl, Alvin Noble and Edward Reilly composed a Basket Ball team which had never been beaten. Virgil Williams had become the world’s great Mathematician. John Stoner was running for Presidency, being opposed to Prohi¬ bition. The most famous club of the day was the Agriculture Club which was organized in 1928. A recent election had been held in which Ralph Whitney was elected president ; Charles Wilkins, Vice President ; Clarence Makley, Secretary; Merle Coil, Treasurer. Edward Clausing, Walter Elshoff, Christ Badertscher were appointed members of the Executive Board. The famous toe-dancer of the day was Carabelle Stroh. The Fortman brothers had taken over their father’s meat market business. Pauline Hebble, with the able support of Merlin Euedeke, was directing Shakesperian plays in New York. Pauline Kleinheinz had graduated from nurses training in Northern Michigan and was considered one of the best nurses in the country. Harry Alspach, Alonzo Deerhake, Harry Christopher and John Roebuck, had made the college football team of Harvard University under the coaching of Charles Lutz. Donald Young had been chosen the champion typist of 1938. In the contest. Inez Montague, Geraldine Nagel and Eunice Engleman won second, third and fourth places re¬ spectively. Earl Nagel had taken over a large department store which was formerly the Armstrong’s Dry Goods Store. He was ably assisted in this store by Mary Dorothy Wierwille, Rowena Banning and Katherine Montague. John Gayer, Earl Haberkamp, Albert Miller, Virgil Meyers, and John Hauss were playing in Elmer Gilmore’s Symphony Orchestra. Donald Hinton, Paul Mackenbach and Wilson Bowman have put forth great effort to determine the exact number of fish in Lake St. Marys. The two Bowers, Ronald and Rollin, Alvin Kuckerman, Elmer Holdren and Ivan Glass were professors in an Agricultural School in Cuba. The two Wilson brothers, George and Richard, Edison Taylor, Vernon Sullivan, Richard Murray and Joseph Glynn had all entered the movies. This ended the list of my former classmates recorded in the book, and I decided that it was an honor to have belonged to such a talented class as that of ’29.

Our class officers during the year were : Robert Coffin Vernon Noble Harold Kettler President _ Vice President _ Secretary and Treasurer Willingly we took part in all the activities while we were Freshmen. Then came our Sophomore year and we were considerably less in number, having only one hundred seven enrolled. Never¬ theless we kept up our reputation which we gained in our Fresh¬ man year. In athletics we did our part, having several boys on the foot-ball squad who had exceptional ability and who will come to the front next year. In Basket-Ball our Sophomore boys didn’t show up sp well but their prospect for the future is splen¬ did. The girls have done much better than the boys. They had four on the arsity team. This is an unusual record for Sophomores. In music we have shown ability. We have many mem¬ bers in the Band, Glee Clubs and the Orchestra. During this year we have had as our class officers the fol¬ lowing : President _ Vice President _ Secretary and Treasurer Robert Coffin _ Ruth White Vernon Noble Going through our High School life thus far we have Shown our class spirit in everything we have done.

After wandering aimlessly through the halls for several days, trying to find the right room at the right time, we finally caught the sway of affairs and set¬ tled down for a year of hard work. We assembled in the Auditorium the second week of School to elect our class officers for the year. Those elected were: Arthur Boyce, Pres.; Anna M. Yahl, Vice Pres.; Virginia Brodbeck, Secy, and Treas. Our class, as is the case of every Freshmen Class, took but a small part in School activities due to our lack of knowledge of them. We had however several members of the Class take part in Basketball and some joined organizations open to them. We feel however, that our Freshman year in Memorial High has been profitable in teaching us Fligh School life and its many activities. e will return next year and endeavor to become a more leading Class in the future. CIRCUS DAY While I was sitting in my easy chair in the parlor, I heard an awful racket out side, children howlering and people all running toward the depot. I got up and grabbed my coat and hat and followed the crowd, I thought maybe some one was hurt. When I was about a square from the place there I saw a Circus had come to town, and they were already unloading the elephants and camels and other animals. I went home and at the supper table I told my father what had happened and he said we will go tonight. When he said that I just about went crazv. After supper I hurried and got dressed for the circus. While I was waiting for the show to start a man came along selling peanuts. I had bought some for me, and not only that but everything else. V hen it came time foi the Lion d amers to put on their performance one of the lions got out and he came after me and with the quick think¬ ing of my mind which I learned in the Debating Team at Memorial Hio-h I leaped to the top of the tent and hung on the Flag Pole. My father was so scared that he dropped over dead. But I was saved. Many others were killed by the Lion but I wasn’t. — A Freshman — Page 56 the Mirror 1928 General Orchestra Miss Emma Kohler, Instructor Violins: Vernon Hoewischer John Lawrence Vernon Lutterbeek Elsie Sullivan Saxophones: Earl Haberkamp Alvin Noble Fred Shipman Donald Hinton Clarinets: John Campbell Lyle Rohrbach Vernon Botkin John Hauss Piano : Charles Heusch Trombones: La Doyt Rhodes Cornets: Robert Stolte Elmer Gilmore Baritones: Kenneth Gayer Charles Sudman Sousaphone: Charles Wirtz Drums: Edward Botkin John Gayer The General Orchestra under the direction of Miss Kohler has played an important part in High School activities.

Under the direction of Miss Slabaugh the class has made much progress. The Freshmen, during the three days of each week which were de¬ voted to recitation, studied, “Flow to Know Textiles” and a book en¬ titled, “Sanitation, Health and Efficiency.” During the two days of each week which were given to sewing and cooking, the Freshmen studied the principles of plain cooking and sewing. They served a dinner and a tea for the Farmer’s Institute on February 14. The Sophomores have studied a book on household decoration and homemaking called, “Shelter and Clothing.” They also studied a book on dietetics. Each Sophomore made a wool and a silk dress and learn¬ ed to do advance sewing. The Sophomore girls prepared and served several dinners for the Hi Y Club, a cafeteria dinner, and a tea at the high school fair and prepared a dinner for the Agriculture Club. Several meals were planned and served in the dining room of the Home Economics Department by the Sophomores. In the past, a limited interpretation has been placed upon home economics and it has been thought of as only cooking and sewing. To¬ day we know that home economics means much more than simply cook¬ ing and sewing. Home Economics includes a study of foods in rela¬ tion to health, their composition, their use in the body, selection and buying, their preparation, the planning and serving of meals, preserva¬ tion and storage of foods ; a study of clothing problems from every angle including the selection and purchase and care of ready made articles, construction of articles and garments, laundering, textile pro¬ duction, designing of garments ; a study of problems that relate directly to the homes and family such as care and management of the home, selection and buying of household furnishings for the home, care of children, care of the sick, social life and hospitality in the home and the relation of the home to the community. So we see the home economics covers a much larger scope than many other subjects. We hope that next year a larger class will take advantage of these op¬ portunities.

The Club was organized in the Spring of 1927 under the supervision of Robert Reed, the faculty representative. The seven charter members were : La Doyt Rhodes, Carl Grimm, Edward Ruble, Grant Heap, Dana Schnarre, Charles Sudman and Hervey Fell. Several new members were taken in before the close of School. This year the Club has fifteen members including Mr. Reed. During the year the club has met as regularly as possible. The meetings are divided into two parts, the business period, and the discussion period. In these discuss ions, subjects of great importance to the High School boy such as clean living, sports¬ manship and the like are considered. For a period of six weeks, dinners were served in the cafeteria every Tuesday noon. Each member brought some¬ thing to contribute to these dinners. Immediately following the dinner the usual discussion period was held until the be¬ ginning of School. The club feels that they have made some progress during the year. Each member is certain hat his time in the club has been profitable in showing to him the better things of life. Be¬ fore the end of the year the club hopes to take in more new members to take the place of the Seniors next year and also in¬ crease the size of the club.

The ten charter members are: Nell Smith, President; Lillian Althoff, Vice President; Anna Mary Speck, Secretary; Emma Madsen, Treasurer; Elizabeth Coffin, June Gorham, Onnolee Cisco, Onnolee Sunderland, Emma Katterheinrich and Dorothy Vogel. I he purpose of the Girl Reserve Club is clean living, clean morals, clean sportsmanship, co-operation in high school and a better apprecia¬ tion of Christian Womanhood. The motto is : “The Best is Yet to Do.” A number of girls are to be admitted to membership who will up¬ hold the purpose and motto of the club and support its continuity. During the season the club has enjoyed many social functions be¬ sides business meetings. Noon luncheons were held once a week in the High School Cafeteria. At these meetings the club discussed points of interest. The future success of the club lies in the hands of the coming girls of Memorial High. We, who have organized the Girl Reserve Club, feel that it is a beneficial and an uplifting necessity in school life. We hope that the girls of the high school will endeavor to make the club bigger and better and uphold the purpose and motto offered. We wish to thank Miss Hipp for her faithful work, and all those who have made it possible for us to have a Girl Reserve Club in Memorial High School.

Negative Team: Edrie Beam, Mary Margaret Yingling, Robert Coffin, Albert Andreoni, Alternate. The Debating team under the supervision of Mr. Koenig and Miss Reay has been very successful this year. In the dual debate with Celina High School both the negative and the affirmative teams were victorious. The teams sacrificed much time and did very hard work in com¬ piling then material and preparing it for delivery. They were ably assisted in this work by Air. Koenig and Aliss Reay whose ideas and suggestions were very helpful. On the night of the Debate the teams presented their material in an interesting manner and argued their points very well. All references were authentic and were presented to the judges for proof. Each speaker presented his address in g'ood clear English and had it so timed so that he or she did not exceed the time limit. The preciseness and earnestness, however, of each speaker decided the result of the Debate. Miss Reay and Air. Koenig are hoping that they may have similar results from their teams in the future. cPage 74 the Mirror 1928 The May Queen Contest GERALDINE NAGEL May Queen ONNOLEE SUNDERLAN D First Attendant EUNICE ENGLEMAN Second Attendant A May Queen contest was held for the first time this year in the High School. Geraldine Nagel won the honor of being May Queen on May Day this year with Onnolee Sunderland as first attendant. The contest was originated for the purpose of increasing the sale of Basket¬ ball tickets. The method of securing votes was as follows : The contest was open to any girl in High School. Tickets for the next preceding game were obtained from Mr. Reed who sponsored the contest. These tickets could be sold by the contestant herself or by someone supporting a contestant. The name of the contestant for whom the ticket was sold was written on the ticket. Every ticket taken in at the game counted fifty votes for the contestant whose name was on it. The contest proved very successful. It not only increased the sale of tickets but also increased the enthusiasm for Basketball. There were many entrants in the contest but there could be but one winner, Miss Nagel being the lucky one. Page 75 the Mirror 192s The High School Lecture Course Memorial High School presented its fourth annual lecture course to the people of St. Marys this year. All the numbers were well chosen and were greatly enjoyed by the large audience which attended each number. Madame Estelle Gray-Lhevinne reputed to be the world’s greatest woman violinist opened the lecture course with a concert on November 3. Madame Gray-Lhevinne’s music was of three types, the plain, simple melodies, the descriptive, and the classical numbers. She also played some of her own compositions. Each selection was preceded by a brief description of the piece, and the meaning it was intended to con¬ vey. Madam Gray-Lhevinne’s concert was enjoyed by lovers of all types of music. The Light Opera Revue was presented on December 7 by the Misses Della Hicks, Hannah Gishburn, and Margaret McDonnell with Miss Henriette Fraser as accompanist. The Misses Hicks, Gishburn and McDonnell wearing costumes appropriate for the numbers which they sang, offered selections from “Rose Marie,” “The Vagabond King” and other light operas which have recently met with much favor. Miss Fraser was excellent as an accompanist nad the readings which she gave during the intervals between the vocal numbers were humorous and en¬ tertaining. On January 27, five young ladies comprising a Spanish Orchestra presented the third number of the lecture course. In their music the young artists presented the Spain of the gay, tilting cavalier, Spain of the somber dreaming Pyrenees ; and the Spain of the glittering magnifi¬ cent toreador. Each member of the orchestra was well suited for her part and received much applause from the audience. The comedy-drama “The Easy Mark” was the fourth number of the lecture course. “The Easy Mark” represented life in the middle west. It dealt with average, small town people, their fortunes and misfortunes, then joys and their sorrows. Jack Larric, the author, was for several years connected with newspapers in the West and he knows the life which he depicts so humanly and so humorouslv in “The Easy Mark.” J The concluding number of the course was the lecture “Re-Creation through Recreation which was given by Capt. T. Dinsmore Upton on March 9. Capt. Upton is internationally known for his great work with boys and girls. In his lecture Capt. Upton pleaded with the men and women of his audience to devote more time to the needs and the desires of the youth of to-day, and to provide suitable places for their amusement. The audience was well pleased with Capt. Upton’s inspirational and humorous lecture.

Lima South vs. M. H. S. — Sept. 24, 1927 Score 19-0 The following week found the Lima South aggregation in¬ vading our field to hand our boys their first defeat. The South boys out-played our team to such an extent that the first half ended with the score 19 to 0 in their favor. But the team in¬ spired by Coach Reed’s lecture between halves caused them to display better brand of football the second half. Several times St. Marys was on the verge of carrying the ball across the line for a touch down, while Lima never was in scoring distance. However both teams failed to score so the game ended with Lima as victors. Van Wert vs. M. H. S. — Oct. 1, 1927 Score 12-4 This game was played in a sea of mud and could hardly be called a football game. The boys of both teams were unable to carry the ball without fumbling it and so the game was won by the team taking the best advantage of the fumbles and this team happened to be Van Wert. Page 79 the Mirror 192s Kenton vs. M. H. S. — Oct. 7, 1927 Score 0-6 The next week found the Memorialites visitors of the city of Kenton. But that did not keep them from bringing home the first football victory from Kenton, because in previous years Kenton always defeated us by mournful scores and so we took revenge. Payne vs. M. H. S. — Oct. 14, 1927 Score 0-3 St. Marys put a new opponent on their list when they met the Payne aggregation about the middle of the season. A great battle was expected by every one, but Payne didn’t prove to be such a pain after all. They took a 38 to 0 defeat. Celina vs. M. H. S. — Oct. 21, 1927 Score 6-31 Bull Dogs ! How ferocious that name sounded before this game. But alas ! A barking dog seldom bites so Coach Reed sent out a team that made Celina’s Bull Dogs look like a bunch of Hot Dogs. A few breaks in the beginning of the game gave Celina the first touch down, which also aroused the “ e Old Fight' in St. Marys. So Celina went home to find their village on Lake St. Marys and their Bull Dogs defeated by a score of 31 to 6. Wapak vs. M. H. S.— Oct. 28, 1927 Score 14-13 Since almost everyone during his life time must get acquainted with Miss Fortune, she decided to pav our team a visit the day we played Wapak, and she was a mighty unwel¬ come guest. Probably another reason for this defeat was over- confidence on the part of the team. Everyone thought it would be a “walk away but it walked away in the wrong direction when Wapak downed us by one point. ‘Page SO the Mirror 1928 Van Wert vs. M. H. S. — Nov. 5, 1927 Score 0-25 The next week did not find Coach Reed’s boys using their wind for boasting, but utilizing every bit of it in hard practice for the Home Coming game. For this was to be the first game in which St. Marys beat Van Wert in football and Van Wert sure was surprised when they started for home with a team which had been beaten by St. Marys by a score of 25-0. Versailles vs. M. H. S. — Nov. 11, 1927 Score 0-38 Although the score does not show it, yet it must be admitted that Versailles was a hard fighting bunch. Although they were another new opponent, yet they made themselves well acquainted by their never give up spirit. However St. Marys’ passes and end runs were something they couldn't get acquainted with so they had to acknowledge a 38 to 0 defeat. Celina vs. M. H. S. — Nov. 19, 1927 Score 0-19 “Where is that terrible odor coming from? Asked an old man of a Celina High School boy just a short time after the Celina vs. St. Marys game. The boy answered sarcasticly, “Aw, St. Marys, skunked us 19 to 0. Wapak vs. M. H. S.— Nov. 25, 1927 Score 0-20 Well for once we kept our promise, when we gave Wapak the defeat which we promised them when they gave us one on their field earlier in the season. Although Wapak several times was in our danger zone, they failed to score. This however did not keep the Memorial boys from crossing the Wapak line for tlyee touchdowns and a Victory. ‘ Page 81 the Mirror 192s LA DOYT RHODES (Captain) “P ete” has played his last game for Memorial High and surely deserves the honor of captain and quarterback. JOSEPH REILLY “Red” was the one who always shone when it was necessary to plunge the line for a touchdown. He leaves a vacant place on next year’s team FREDERICK GROSS “Fritz” is another one of our aggressive full backs whose chief hobby was running ends runs. But Fritz has made his last touch down for Me¬ morial High. JAMES HEAP “Jimmy” was another sandy haired boy who could be depended on to get away a beautiful punt. But Jimmy has signed “finis” to his football career for Memorial Hisdi. O Page S2 Bernard played in the back field for the first time this year, but he sure looked like an experienced full back when he got go¬ ing. Meyers will also be counted as a member of the alumni next year. BERNARD MEYERS the Mirror 192 8 ROBERT REED (Coach) Bob” our coach ran in¬ to a very difficult situation at the beginning- of the ’27- '28 season. He had very little experience as a coach but turned out one of the best teams Memorial Hi ever had. He is plan¬ ning for even better re¬ sults next year. DANA SCHNARRE Henry” proved the fact that to be a football player you do not have to be a large fellow, for he could always be depended on to punt, pass, or run. CARL FARK Bum” is also another dependable end who al¬ ways kept his opponent guessing and is the kind that any school is sorry to see graduate. HARRY ALSPACH “Ossy” is the boy who still has another year to prove his real value to Me¬ morial High as a football player. JOHN ICUNTZ Johnny” is one of these boys who does not waste his breath talking but saves it for running inter¬ ference for some back field man. Page S3 the Mirror 1928 ALBERT MILLER Albert has one more year at Memorial Hi and from his playing this year is one of the best bets next year. ROBERT HUTCHINGS “Pants” has that much needed quality “grit.” He still has two years to make a name for himself. SAMUEL WELSHIMER “Sam” was one of those fellows you couldn’t scare. He performed his duties as an end in the best way possible. He will be miss¬ ed next year. RALPH WHITNEY One of the hardest hit¬ ting guards on the team. He will be needed next year. ROLAND BOWERS He did his best, what more could he do? We are sorry he will not be able to be with us next year. ‘Page 84 Lawerence is only a Sophomore and has played two years of football so lookout for Lawerence be¬ fore he graduates. LAWERENCE MINGUS the Mirror 192s HARLEY OTTO Harley is one of those rare specimens that have the combination of being a clean, fighting athlete, a good scholar and a mighty dependable friend. Harry Christopher “Red” is one of the most aggressive centers St. Marys has ever watched play on its field. Harry still has another year to display his manly char¬ acter. WALTER YAHL “Plug” was the famous end who could use his head and hands as well as his mouth in any game. Next year it will be diffi¬ cult job to get a person to urge the team like Plug’s famous war cry, “Come on gang let’s tear ’em up.” JOHN ROEBUCK “Johnny” is our mighty tackle who so faithfully has filled his position for the last three years and we expect to see John carrying off the honors next year. WILSON BOWMAN “Bill” is another Junior who is a mighty speedy back field man and will help to increase the strength of next years team. HAROLD THIELK Harold is another back field man who sure can hit that line and we expect something from him next year. ‘Page 85 the Mirror 192 8 JEROME WEADOCK He did his best and proved he was a Football player. He still has two years to prove his worth. ROBERT ROHRBACH “Bob” is a Senior and we are sorry of it because, although he was out for Football only a short time, we think that he would have made a mighty fine player. EDWARD REILLY “Eddie belongs to the same family that “Red ’ does, so we have good rea¬ sons for looking forward to “Eddie.” CHARLES SUDMAN “Charlie” was the hard¬ est fighting guard that ever donned a suit for Memorial Hi. He displayed a loyal spirit and a helping hand as very few Tackles ever slipped through his fingers. He could only be with the team in spirit the last few games, but his pres¬ ence was felt by every member of the team. William Christopher “Bill’ is “Red’s” brother which leads us to believe that he will be one of our coming stars. ALONZO DEERHAKE Deerhake is a hard hit¬ ting, plunging center. He will be back next year to again be a member of the team.

JOHN ROEBUCK The one big reason why the opponents scores were never very high. John certainly has proved to Memorial Hi that he is an athlete and he will be with us next year. WALTER YAHL “Funny” besides being a good comedian is also a very good Basketball play¬ er. His keen sense of humor is not lost on the Basketball floor. He will be missed next year. HARRY ALSPACH Harry is a player to be proud of. His ability as a guard is hard to beat. He will be with us next year. LADOYT RHODES “Pete” besides being a good athlete is a good all- around fellow. His place in High School will be hard to fill. Page SS the Mirror 192s VINCENT HUDSON “Vinny” sure is a hard player. He always does his best in every We are expecting game. lot from him next year. CLARENCE FORTMAN Lefty is a level headed, hard working player. His beautiful shots and quick plays are hard to beat. We will miss him next year. HARRY CHRISTOPHER Harry is as good on the Basketball floor as he is on the Football field and that is saving enough. He will also be with us next year. EDWARD REILLY Eddie is another play¬ er who will open our eyes next year. He has played many fine games this year. JOHN KUNTZ Johnnie is a guard hard to beat. When the opposing team tried to get their basket they always ran into him. He will be another member of the Alumni next vear.

She has two more years to play for Memorial Hi. the Mirror 1928 LILLIAN ALTHOFF For being level headed on the Basketball floor she cannot be beat. Next year’s team will find her place hard to fill. Emma Katterheinrich “Emmy” played hard and at times too hard. Her only thought was to win for her High School. She also will be a member of the Alumni next year. INEZ MONTAGUE It was not because of Inez that the team lost games. She worked hard every minute she played. We hope she plays as well next year. EMMA M. MADSEN As a player she cannot be beat because she did her best. We are sorry she will not be with us next year. MARY BENNETT Opponents found her a good-hearted yet hard working player. She still has two years to show her worth. FLORENCE SWANK Florence has two years of Basketball experience and still has two years to play. We cannot determine her success except we know it will be good. - Page 92 th e Mirror 192s Track ■ i ■ Results of Track Meet held at Auglaize County Fair Grounds, May 4, 1927 Class A Event Wapakoneta St. Marys 100 yd.
