Slowly the moments are passing And forever does Time bid us “On!” He loses, who stops to look backward; Past hours and past pleasures are gone. And forever the Future is calling, And pointing the road we must tread. Faint heart never won in Life’s battles; ’Tis the men of the past, Who are dead. By H. B.

Page 30 Senior Class History We the Seniors of the class of 1929, having successfully com- pleted our four-year course at Memorial High, wish to express our ap- preciation to the faculty and student body for the co-operation they have shown us throughout our high-school career. In September, 1925 we entered Memorial Hi as Freshmen. For our president we chose John Roebuck; vice-president, Ruth Steva; secretary, Harry Critten; treasurer, Donald Hinton. We were repre- sented in many high school activities, especially in athletics. Our class was the largest in the high school, and at the close of the year, we felt that we were ready to become full-fledged sophomores. In September, 1926 we returned to Memorial Hi as Sophomores. Our class officers were as follows: Alvin Noble, president; Vincent Hudson, vice-president; Harold Thielk, treasurer. Our Sophomore year was regarded a very successful year being represented in school activities and also in athletics. In September, 1927 we returned for our Junior year which was the best year we have spent in Memorial Hi School. Our class officers were as follows: Vincent Hudson, president; John Gayer, vice-president; Frederick Hudson, secretary and treasurer. The reception given the seniors under the guidance of our president was a real success—in the opinion of everyone, including the faculty and senior class. In September, 1928 again we returned to Memorial Hi for the last time. Our president was Elmer Gilmore; vice-president, Eunice Engleman; treasurer. George Wilson; secretary, Harry Critten. This was our record-breaking year in athletics. We had fourteen letter men in football, and five letter men in basketball. Only two Senior girls were on the varsity basketball team, but the girls took an active part in all other school activities showing their loyalty to the Gold and Blue. Our memories of graduation leave a feeling of happiness that we have been successful in our four year course, and regret that the time has seemed so short.

We entered Memorial High in September. 1926, one hundred forty strong, the largest class which has ever entered Memorial High. Scarlet and Gray were chosen as the class colors. The officers were: President_____________________________ Robert Coffin Vice President________________________Vernon Noble Secretary and Treasurer____________Harold Bonnette When we entered Memorial High School, we were much like other freshmen, except that we possessed one quality rare in frosh—brains. However, some teachers will not. even yet, admit this fact. As sophomores, being accustomed to the routine of the school we entered enthusiastically into all the activities of the school. By this time we had learned to cooperate with our classmates. Our class of- ficers for 1927-28 were: President___________________________________Robert Coffin Vice President_______________________________________Ruth White Secretary and Treasurer_____________________Vernon Noble Our class has always been well represented in all school activities. Both girls and boys have received letters for taking part in athletics. We have taken an active part in class Basket Ball. Our girls won the class championship in Basket Ball last year, while the boys won the championship this year. We have shown good school spirit in every- thing that we have attempted. We have justly proved that well known proverb that “Where there’s a will, there’s a way.” tm Pdge 36 fllWiUM Our School A school is not a building as has so often been said before, rather it is the sum total of the thoughts and ideas, not only of the student body of its alumni as well. One may travel far, accomplish many or few things, but neverless the intrinsic worth of us will be, at least partly, a pro- duct of the school that calls us alumni. As we look into the vista of years there’s work, and there’s play, and there is many a day when our smiles hold nothing but tears. But, oh, the Future! We’re glad to greet you—to make or to mar, to fill with the blessings of sunshine or deface perhaps without a scar. Our school spirit in the class rooms as well as in athletics and activities is not always the best we could make it, so in our aim in life let us try to accomplish this one aim: to make our school as a whole what it really is.

We were not active in the athletic activities of our school; in- stead we watched, learned, and prepared to take a larger part the next year. Our officers chosen by the class were: Arthur Boyce, President; Anna Margaret Yahl, Vice President; Virginia Brodbeck, Treasurer and Secretary. Next came our Sophomore year. We did not have as large a class roll as before. We took part this year in everything—in athletics, in music and all that was open to us. Several of our boys were on the football team. Of these only one received a letter. The others got honorable mention; but we are sure they will get their letters next year—at least, they are going to do their best for their school. Our boys were not as active in Basket Ball as in football. They organized a class team though. We also had several girls on the Girl’s Varsity team. In this too only one received her letter. Our officers this year are: Wilson Gilmore, President; Charles Heusch. Secretary; Virginia Sunderland. Treasurer. We close this year promising to do as well if not better in our future years. Our Class Our class is not a large one We all must admit. But all the things that we have done Have both been just and fit. We have tried to show our spirit, For our class and for our school, And we’d like you all to hear it. That we’re going to make our goal. So we must leave you this year Though our Sophomore year was fine For we soon will all be Juniors And be marching down the line. A. Sophomore.

This class was one of the largest which ever entered. Not long after the first semester had bgun, a meeting was held for the purpose of electing officers and choosing class colors. The following were elected to office: President_____________________________Robert Heap Vice President_____________________Louis Sturgeon Secretary_____________________________Ruth Priller Treasurer_________________________________Marie Guy The colors chosen were green and white. The Freshmen, both boys and girls have been active in High School athletics. With the exception of the death of our friend and classmate, Martha Brewer, whose fatal accident came as a great shock to all, our first year of High School has been uneventful. We are certainly proud of our class of 1932; and. although we meet with some opposition the first year, you are sure to hear of bigger and better things that we will do in later years. Page 44 I Freshman Poem The Freshmen brave are we, And courageous we must be. For in corridors and class, They say as we go past. “Hello Freshmen! Gee, but you look kind of green. Are you as dumb as you really seem?” We stage a rush down the hall And the classes move or take a fall. But after all is said and done, Memorial Hi is the only one To which we’ll give our very best The same as done by all the rest.

H. S.—6 Prospects for a successful season looked bad with only four letter men reporting for practice. Captain Christopher could not re- port for duty, for he was confined to his bed with a broken hip. However, we started out with a bang and won our first game. Victory after victory was ours until that fatal Thanksgiving game with Wapak. VAN WERT—6 M. H. S.—25 Two weeks after our first game we traveled to Van Wert. Our opponents started the game by making a touchdown the first 3 min- utes of play, but our men stopped their quick rush and started a strong offense attack which was made possible by our heavy linemen. Again we were victors by our determined efforts to win. BELLEFONTAINE—12 M. H. S.—37 Our second out of town game netted Memorial High another victory against the strong Bellefontaine team. We scored a touchdown on the first play. Long, by his side- stepping and stiff arming, carried the ball from midfield for a goal. This game was played mostly for breaks, and Memorial got her share. Page 52 WAPAK—12 M. H. S —25 VVapak came over all set to win. Neither team had suffered de- feat thus far. But Wapak found it took a real team to defeat M. II. S. The Blue and Gold men started with a rush. At the end of the half the score was 6-6. Wapak tried to rough it up a little, but you can tell who got the worst of it by the looks of the score. CELINA—0 M. H. S.—20 This was the hardest fought game of the season. The Celina boys were determined to score, but only once did they threaten our goal. This game was played mostly on the Bulldog’s (Celina’s) half of the field, and so we handed them a 20-0 defeat. Not so bad. SHAWNEE—0 M. H. S.—12 This game was played in a sea of mud and blinding rain, but we managed to float the pigskin over twice. This was our 6th straight victory. VERSAILLES—6 M. H. S.—12 This game was scheduled for the second team. The Versailles team put up a real fight during the first half. At the end of the half, the score was 6-0 in favor of Versailles. After a good speech from Coach Reed the boys snapped out of their listless spirit, and won by a score of 12-6. CELINA—0 M. H. S.—19 The second game with Celina was another battle. Despite their Bulldog spirit we won from the Celina team a second easy victory. WAPAK—19 M. H. S. —0 On the 29th of November we went to Wapak. Due to lack of training and over-confidence, our team by far the heavier and stronger of the two went down to defeat. Never before did our boys fight so hard, but fate seemed to be against us. Our team was not the same one which had fought so hard at the beginning of the season. Page 53 COACH ROBERT REED Mr. Reed needs no introduction. The success of the M. H. S. athletic teams this year proved to us his ability as a coach. He was always on the job. He worked for the glory of the school. Many thanks and best wishes for his future success. CAPTAIN HARRY CHRISTOPHER Red was our captain this year. He was kept out of the game most of the season due to injury, but Oh! boy when he did get in how the fireworks did fly. He was a fine leader, and loyal to his team and school. RICHARD MONTAGUE Rich played a stellar game all season. He easily won the end position. As Captain-elect he has the good wishes of everyone for a successful year. ORVILLE RHODES Orv developed into a good end this year. Not a team we played this year was able to get around his “wing.” He will be with us next year. JOHN ROEBUCK Johnnie was one of the big iron men of our line. He was fast for his size and when he hit? ? ? Well things had to happen. John has played his last game for M. H. S. HARRY ALSPACH Ossie was an ideal tackle. Big, quick, and plenty tough. Ossie and Johnnie were the best pair of tackles we have had for a long time. Ossie liked to get the ball on the kick-off. HARRY CRITTEN Tanky was a man who could hit the line and make an opening in it for some back field man. Although this is Tankev’s first year he showed the boys that he could play football. We are sorry to lose him. ALBERT ANDREONI A1 had to work hard for his letter, when he was called upon to defend Memorial’s goal he put every pound of his weight into it. He will be missed next year. ALONZO DEERHAKE Alonzo held down the center position this year. There never was a slack moment in his hard fight. Spurt Alonzo is a Senior. LAWRENCE MINGUS Although Lawrence could only be with us part of the season he has made a name for himselfi as a guard. Whenever he got angry something was going to happen. Lawrence will be back next year with all the good wishes of the team for him. Page 54 RALPH WHITNEY Whenever the team got into deep water it was up to Ralph to pull them out. He was as good a guard as you will find. He also graduates this year. ROLLIN BOWERS Rollin alternated with Orv and Rich. He is to be rated as one of our best ends. His main hobby was to snag passes with one hand. We also lose Rollin by graduation. ELMER GILMORE Elm acted as field general of the eleven. In this he used good judgment at snapping the correct plays at the correct time. Elm kept the Spirit up in the backfield. EDISON TAYLOR Although this is Tip’s first year he turned out to be a real foot- ball player. Tip made some nice runs for the Old School.” We are sorry to lose such men as Tip. WILSON SELBY “Red” played consistent and aggressive fullback. He made many fine punts and runs. He will be back next year. Luck to you “Red.” LELAND LONG The best half we had. Faster than greased lightning was “Lee.” During none of our games did we find a player who could tackle him. Lee will graduate this year. HAROLD THIELK When a blue and gold jersey could be seen flashing here and there one could bank on it being Harold. He was quick and could find an opening anywhere. Harold is another Senior. WILSON BOWMAN Although it took Bill some time to get started he surely showed the boys that he could play football. He showed what he was made of especially at Van Wert. We are sorry to lose Bill this year. EDWARD REILLY Eddie was our fighting half who went right through the line for many large gains. Eddie was much like his brother “Joe.” Hard to beat. We will miss you “Ed.” ALBERT ANDERSON Te-Bone—the lightest fullback Memorial has ever had. He was noted for his excellent punts and end runs. He will be with us next year. Page 55 Midwest Conference During the late spring of 1929 a new league was formed which was called the Mid-Western League. Its purpose is to foster a greater interest in athletics and to regulate athletics of the League members including St. Marys, Celina, Wapakoneta, Van Wert, Kenton and Ada.

Gilmore Critten Reilly Axe fW 3af Season’s Resume The Boys Basketball season of 1928-29 started off with many new faces showing up for try outs. Every one knew after the first week’s practice that we were going to show up better, in this sport than we had for the last four or five years. Opposition being very keen. Coach Reed decided to choose a Varsity team and a Reserve team. The Varsity started off with a bang by piling up three straight victories only to be scared out of a victory over Wapak whom they later defeated decisively. Our boys established a record by not losing to any high school on their home floor. The latter part of the season was not as good as it might have been due to laxity concerning training rules. Following is a record of games played: Memorial High School____23 New Bremen______________21 Memorial High School __ 27 Celina_________________ 15 Memorial High School____34 Rockford _______________22 Memorial High School __ 11 Wapak _________________ 14 Memorial High School __ 19 Kenton ________________ 10 Memorial High School __ 28 Van Wert________________26 Memorial High School____12 St. Rose, Lima__________31 Memorial High School____34 Rockford _______________36 Memorial High School __ 26 Wapak _________________ 14 Memorial High School____34 New Bremen______________35 Memorial High School __ 25 Celina _________________32 Memorial High School____34 Lima South______________38 Memorial High School __ 2C Wapak __________________28 Total________________ 327 Total________________322 The purpose of the Reserve Team was to threaten men on the Varsity; stimulate an interest in Basketball; and develop material for the following season. The Reserves succeeded in putting up very stiff opposition to teams who defeated the Varsity the year previous. Page 61 Basket Ball HARRY ALSPACH—CAPTAIN Harry is a dependable guard. This is his last year of Basket- ball with the Blue and Gold. He is a happy-go-lucky fellow but when he is mad—opponents beware. JOHN ANDERSON T-bone, as he is called by his chums, is a brilliant basket-ball player. When T-bone gets hot in a game the coach of the other team feels like throwing in the towel. He will be with us next year. ALONZO DEERHAKE “Cannonball” is a reliable center. He does not play in streaks but plays a steady consistent game. This is his last year. JOHN BURKHART “Johnnie” is our flashy forward. He plays a steady offensive game. Johnnie also has a knack of making baskets when the team is in a tight place. We expect a lot from him next year. ALVIN NOBLE “Al” is a guard who is not afraid to mix things up. He also plays a steady game. This is also his last year with M. H. S. EDWARD REILLY “Ed is the best shot on longs on the team. Whenever “Ed shoots, the ball goes in the basket as if it had eyes. He will not be with the Blue and Gold next year. ELMER GILMORE “Elm is a speedy forward. He is fast in passwork, plays a good defensive game. This is Elm’s last year. HARRY CRITTEN “Tanky” is a reliable center. “Tanky” can step right in a fast game without causing a hitch in the team. He will be missed next year. DAMIAN AXE “Ding” is a small fast guard. He repeatedly proves the theory that speed and not size makes a basket-ball player. He will be with us next year.

She was that small forward who could dodge around her players and make pretty baskets. She leaves M. H. S. this year and her place will be hard to fill. ELIZABETH MILBOURNE Lizzy” was a strong guard, breaking up many of her opponents good plays. She will be here to fight for the Blue and Gold again next year. EVELYN ELLERMAN Evelyn was our center this year. She played her part very well and was right on the spot where ever she was needed. We hope she will play as well next year. GEORGIANNA CASAD It was no fault of Georginna’s that the team lost a few games. She was one of the hardest workers on the team. We hope she will show the same spirit next year. FLORENCE SWANK We are proud to say that Florence was another good guard. Florence has another year and we hope that we will hear more of her. MARY GRINER When any fighting needs to be done Mary is up and ready to fight for the Blue and Gold. Mary is a Junior this year so she will be able to fight for her school again next year. MARTHA DENNINGS Martha has several more years to play for M. H. S. We hope she will keep up her good work. MARY BLAKELY Mary played hard every game she was in. Mary has two more years to play for Memorial High. MARGARET COON Margaret played hard in every game she was given the chance. We didn’t hear from her very muah, but next year we will expect a lot from her. MARIETTA HAYES This was Marietta’s first year in M. H. S. We didn’t see her much but she sure can play. We will miss her next year. Two players who didn’t finish the season were Mary Alice Beale and Virginia Frey. We hope they will come out next year and fight for M. H. S.

This has been ac- comlished by the diligent practice of the members and to their in- structor, who has devoted much of her time to this work. It is composed of the more advanced musicians of the high school. During the year the orchestra has played at many of the enter- tainments given at the high school. The General Orchestra under the direction of Miss Kohler has played an important part in the high school activities. This orchestra is formed to train the new members to take the place of the graduating musicians. The orchestra has accomplished much during this year and will hake some good material for next year.

There arc 29 members enrolled in the club this year, an increase of 3 over the enrollment of last year. The officers this year are as follows: President ______________________________Williard Morris Vice President_____________________________________Ralph Whitney Secretary-Treasurer_________________________Paul Moeller Students of the Agriculture Department are this year offered courses in Crops and Horticulture, Soils and Farm Management, and Farm Shop. The club is considering in the near future the erecting of a farm shop building. Last year, first place was won in the A. A. M. Judging Circle. Second place was also won in Livestock Judging in the State Judging contest at Columbus. The club sponsored the Memorial High School Fair and gave it the biggest success it has ever known. The club also had a basket-ball team this year which was fairly successful.

Edward Reilly, Rollin Bowers. Albert Andreoni, Alfred Heinrich, Miss Andrews. Bottom Row: Crist Badertscher, Dale Van Stronder, William Engleman. Robert Coffin, Vernon Bushong Mr. Koenig. IflWftS M Debate The debating teams of Memorial High School this year debated the question, Resolved that the United States should cease to protect by armed force the capital of its citizens which is located in foreign countries, except after a formal declaration of war.” The affirmative team, which was coached by Miss Alice Andrews, was composed of Edward Reilly, Katherine Rupert, Albert Andreoni. The affirmative alternates were Rollin Bowers and Alfred Heinrich. Mr. Fred E. Koenig coached the negative speakers, William Engleman. Vernon Bushong and Robert Coffin, and their alternates, Crist Badertscher and Dale Van Stronder. The intended debate for February 26 between the Delphos de- baters and the Memorial debaters was cancelled at a short notice, but our home audience was not disappointed, for the St. Marys teams matched their wits against each other. This resulted in a heated argu- ment and a close debate, since both teams were well prepared and were thoroughly coached. The affirmative team contended that military protection should be refused since it was detrimental to the country in which the in- vestments were made and that the United States was imperialistic. They also offered a new plan by which the United States could manage conditions in the Western Hemisphere, but the opposition refuted their oponents argument skillfully enough to receive an unanimous decision of the three judges. Miss Kathryn Geiger, Mr. Albert Bubp, and Mr. Willis Kishler. A baritone solo was given by Kenneth Gayer during the course of the evening and an interesting operetta was presented by a local cast under the direction of Miss Emma Kohler. The title of the operetta was “Cynthia’s Strategy.” The cast of characters was as follows: Cynthia May Perry—the girl __ Smith Stanley Young—the boy Eugene Perry—Cynthia’s father Susan Perry—Cynthia’s mother SYNOPSIS Time: Present Scene: Mr. Perry’s living room. Stanley and Cynthia are in love, but their marriage is opposed by Mr. Perry, Cynthia’s father. “Youth will find a way”—so Cynthia and Stanley devise a plan in which Stanley is to visit Cynthia posing as a girl friend of hers from Chicago. The girl friend vamps Mr. Perry and gets him into a position in which he is forced to give consent to the marriage. ___Millie Amstutz ______Alvin Noble Frederick Shipman Dorothea Botkin Page 79 The May Queen Contest MAY QUEEN VERA FISCHER ATTENDANTS Mary Alice Beale Virginia Sunderland Inez Montague Grace Priller Millie Amstutz The May Queen Contest was held with so much success last year that it has been decided to make it an annual event. The object of the contest was to increase interest in basket ball. Each ticket sold entitled the purchaser to fifty votes for his choice as May Queen. To increase the enthusiasm of the contestants, the scores were announced after each game. The contestants worked hard, and, if they could not all win, they at least, derived the satisfaction of being loyal to Me- morial High by doing their best. Page SO Lecture Course The High School Lecture Course for 1928 and 1929. which was sponsored by the Redpath Chautauqua Company, was very success- ful. and music was presented by talented artists of exceptional ability. For the first number the Chronicler steps in front of the velvet curtains of Memorial High School and announces to us the immortal drama of Abraham Lincoln. In flesh and blood we see an imperson- ator of Abraham Lincoln who makes us forget our environment. We gradually drift back into the pages of history and live over the emo- tions of America’s greatest character. “But now he belongs to the ages” and John Drinkwater’s great drama of a real American holds an unequalled place in our hearts. For the next number we make an intimate acquaintance with Professor B. R. Baumgardt. We are again seated in the beautiful auditorium, hardly daring to breathe for fear we miss one word of “The Romance of American Civilization. We are brought face to face with facts which we have never realized, by a man whose ex- perience is worth an inestimable amount. Tonight we are jovial, expectant, and happy. From behind the scenes we hear music, the curtains part and for the rest of the evening we laugh and make merry with the little wooden servants of Sue Hastings’ Company. Sue Hastings’ Marionettes make us for- get those troubles of school and home for days afterward the memory of those few happy hours remain with us. We have immensely enjoyed the first numbers and we see the finish approaching, we pack Old Memorial High School so that for one more time we can be entertained. The blue velvet curtains even seem reluctant to part for the last time as the Accordian Novelty Company takes the floor. There is not one break in the whole program, just one continuous source of musical entertainment. From this company of four girls we have tastes of popular, sacred, and classical music. Vocal and instru- mental selections give us a better appreciation of the best in music. These star entertainers make us regret that the last stub has been tom from our season ticket, and we leave—anticipating another lecture course next year. Page SI High School Carnival On Nov. 9. 1928 the first High School Carnival ever attempted by Me- morial High School was successfully sponsored by the Girls’ Athletic Associa- tion under the direction of Miss Gertrude Geiger. From the proceeds of this carnival the girls of Memorial High were able to purchase new basket-ball suits and to take care of all of the major expenses of the association. The large audience of the evening was first taken on a unique trip through the Ladies Home Journal Magazine an excursion from cover to cover. For the cover of the magazine Miss Vera Fisher posed. The next was an advertisement for Ivory Soap in which Grace Priller and the Bodkin Twins portrayed a story without words. A one act play “When Love is Young” was next presented by Mary A. Beale, Luedeen Nietermayer, Ruth Guy, and Ed- ward Wuebker. No magazine is complete without an editorial and this one on the sub- ject of Athletics was read by Millie Amstutz. In the Toy Shop, a typical Jew, Frederick Shipman, conducted a mother, Rowena Banning, and her daughter. Louise Baumgardner, on an inspection of the dolls, Anna M. Yahl, Elizabeth Montgomery, Bud Engleman, Francis Victor and Virginia Banning. Victrolas were well advertised by our contralto or maybe (mezzo Soprano?), Mary Dorothy Wirwille. Another feature of the evening was a whistling duet, “Indian Love Call,” by Nelle Prichard and Edward Wuebker. The Dutch Cleanser advertisement was made spick and span by the Dutch Maids, Mary Griner, Elizabeth Milbourne, Annabelle Wellman, Lucille Dennings, Arrilla Heusch, Mary Blakely, Ruth White and Mary C. Croft. Cream of Wheat was pictured by Harold Thielk and Virginia and Jack Sunderland. The Wrigleys Geraldine Nagel, Lucille Vogel. Inez Montague, Martha Dennings, Fay Diehl, Marie Guy, Ruth Garwick had a lively chewing match for the approval of their audience. Woodburys Soap slogan “The Skin You Love to Touch,” was pictured by Eunice Engleman and Harry Christopher. The latest styles were introduced by the following manuequins: Vera Fisher, Natalie Koop, Virginia Sunderland, Pauline Kleinhenz, Ruth Priller, Virginia Brodbeck. Carabelle Stroll and Eunice Engleman. And the Office Dogs, Lawrence Neitermeyer and Wilson Gilmore, con- cluded the trip with some lively jokes. After the main show, side shows were given in the different class rooms. The Radio Broadcasting Station, Bluebeards Wives, Amazing Ipta, Wanted a Wife, The Singing Fools, and the Museum were conducted by students who proved their ability to entertain their audience. After the side show a dance was conducted park plan on the gym floor, and between dances the students ate and drank at the refreshment stand and had their palms read by a genuine fortune teller. Everyone left happily that evening, and all made it plain that they were anticipating another carnival next year. Page S2 Miscellaneous Ui Page S3 'fr Calendar 1928-1929 Sept. 4.
