If we have accomplished these things, then we are happy.

McBroom Principal Fred E. Koenig This year, Mr. McBroom we’re not going to wonder about what your middle initial stands for, or what you weigh, or what size shoes you wear. Instead we’re going to give a big Rah for you and we want you to know that we think you’re great. Mr. Koenig is our new principal and is liked by all. We enjoy his cheery smile and welcome his broadmindedness. He has taught English at Memorial for many years; we hope he will be principal for a number of years to come.

SMITH Her smile is always cheery and her judgment wise. May she con- tinue to grace old Memorial for many years. If we may call a lady a good sport—then Miss Smith could be styled that. MISS WILLIAMS Miss Williams confessed a secret desire for pretty clothes. That’s the spirit. Miss Williams, what woman doesn’t? She is loved by all and we know her judgment to be fair and square. She is our Latin teacher at Memorial High. MR. FRAMPTON Mr. Frampton is our manual training and mechanical drawing teacher. We hear some of his students can carve a toothpick and others can draw a straight line. Mr. Frampton is liked by all. MR. VAN CLEVE What can be said of this noble gentleman ? Nay, who could out talk him. We like his build, we like his eyes, we like his style and we like him. This is his 3rd year here and his popularity is rapidly gaining. May he continue to dispense the knowledge of science among Students. PAGE 15 The MIRROR MR. ROBERT REED Splendid as a teacher, a master-mind at football and other athletics. In the few short years that he has been here he has turned out some real athletic teams. We hope he will be back next year. MISS KOENIG This sweet little lady with her happy smile is Miss Koenig. She is a newcomer at Memorial High. She is interested in outdoor sports and music. We hope to be able to keep Miss Koenig with us for many more years. MR. KOHLER One of our new teachers is Mr. Kohler and we believe he has carved a niche for himself in the thoughts of Memorial’s students. A good sport, agreeable, and a friend to all; we are sure he will do great things in the future. MISS D. SMITH A refined lady of charming personality; that is Miss Smith. This is her first year at Memorial and we all hope to see her back again. Her hobby is dramatics and her ability outstanding. May she continue to be successful. MISS BAY Miss Bay can always be relied upon to plan and carry an excellent pro- gram to the final curtain. She is active in school affairs, writes poetry and is a lover of nature. May her life be always serene. MISS BRANDON Miss Brandon could easily be mistaken for a little freshman girl. In spite of this we hear she won’t be back next year. Why? Now, just use your imagination. You’ll find the answer in Celina. We’re sorry she is leaving but he knows best. MISS HIPP After seeing Miss Hipp’s picture in the faculty section you’ll agree with us that she should be in the movies. Besides her good looks she has a catching spirit of fun and pep. We understand she is going to become a better half soon and we know everyone will miss her. She is faculty advisor for the Girl Reserves. PAGE 16 M. H. S. - 19 3 1 MISS DUNAN Miss Dunan is the little teacher with a smile always twinkling in her eyes. She possesses a giggle all her own. Her hobby is driving her car. She is teaching Freshman English at this time. MISS KOHLER Miss Kohler is our music supervisor and believe us she knows her do —re—me’s. We can be sure of enjoying an entertainment in which she has had a hand. MR. YOUNG Mr. Young is our assistant manual training “prof.” He is a good- looking young man and we bet many a young maid has sighed for him only to find him married. MR. PEARCE Mr. Pearce is the young band master from Greenville. We like him. his work, and hope that he will continue with us. MR. JENNINGS Mr. Jennings besides being a good-looking, eligible, young fellow is a director of no mean ability. Ask the Juniors how they liked his work on their play. He is also the Junior Hi-Y faculty advisor. MISS GEIGER Miss Geiger is our girl’s coach. She also teaches French (oui oui) and English. Being a lover of sports and she does her part toward pro- moting girls’ athletics. MISS SLABAUGH Miss Slabaugh lives in Celina but teaches at dear old Memorial. Ah. yes, we always knew she could tell a good school when she saw one. I ler job is to teach the girls how to boil water without burning it. MR. HASLER A good all round fellow who knows how to play basketball. Remem- ber the faculty team. He is the agriculture teacher and is bashful with the girls. He is one of the most well-liked of the faculty. PAGE 17 The MIRROR PAGE IS M. H.

We were visiting in that glam- orous city when some one suggested getting a secret permission to visit some opium dives in the native section of the city. . We were all anxious to go so we piled into rickshaws and set out. We finally found ourselves in a foul smelling underground passage leading to a dimly lighted room. There were many curtained booths and wreaths of grey smoke curled from the recesses. The grinning Chinese boy told us in his pidgen English that the booths contained opium smokers and at any time one might start talking. Presently a high pitched voice started to speak and we were astonished to hear the names of our classmates of 1931. Then the Chinese boy told us that it would be a prophecy and the words of old Wong-Su would be true.

The first year, that of “22 the paper was published privately by the High School but the project was a financial failure. Then Mr. John L. Sullivan, editor of the Evening Leader, offered to publish the “Live W ire” free of charge twice a month, on Saturdays, in the Leader. The “Live Wire’ was named by the Sophomores of the class of ”22” and 23 . The staff was elected the later part of September by the respec- tive classes and got an early start. Two of its members resigned during the term. They were Ned Sunderland, Joke Editor and Etta Lois Watson, Associate Editor. Their places were filled by Louise Ray and Elsie Toler. Our first edition was published October the thirteenth. This year’s paper was published on Monday instead of Saturday, as in previous years. Miss Koenig, who was Editor-in-Chief of the paper in 25” was ap- pointed faculty advisor and is the person who really made the paper a success. We all appreciate her unrestrained efforts. The staff has worked together this year to make the “Live Wire” a great success. Some of the students seem to think that the Live Wire” is the staff’s paper, but this is entirely the wrong impression, for the paper also belongs to the student body. But as a whole, we think the students took quite an interest in the paper, and will support it better next year. The “31” - 32 staff was elected at the end of the term, so it could get some experience. We hope next year’s staff carries on the good work of the “30 - 31” staff. We will pass the work along to the next year’s staff with no better slogan than that adopted by the one of 1922 and 1923, “A Better Live Wire Each Year.

When the first practice was held Coach Reed found that he had but six letter men left from the preceding year. Around these boys he built a team of which the people of our city should be proud. Lima South, 18 M. H. S., 0 South brought a good team here—one built up of a number of ex- perienced men. Our boys through inexperience were bewildered and naturally were defeated. Piqua, 26 M. H. S., 0 Still stunned from the crushing power of the South Boys the team was again ridden over wide and handsome. After a close first half the Piqua machine began to function and then it was too bad. Van Wert, 13 M. H. S., 24 The team thought that it was about time to win a game and started the struggle off with a bang and marched from the kickoff to a touchdown. The gang from over the way put up a stubborn fight but could not check us for we wanted to start the league on the right side of the ledger. Kenton, 0 M. H. S., 38 We kept the old pace up that brought victory in the preceding game. We showed superiority from the kickoff to the last crack of the gun. Wapak, 0 M. H. S., 14 Our friends from the county seat came all set for triumph but were shocked by our scoring a touchdown within the first five minutes of play. Nevertheless they put up a good battle. We wish better luck to them the next time. PAGE 69 «' ' W «'VV 't' V h'«!W k’'4' h’ t' 'i’ i’ «’ V 'i’ i’ i' t' 4’ i- h' ■ i’ i' Y i’ 2 WIWW i’ 1’ i? £ 8‘ £ i1 V t' J? These boys were a little too large for our small team to handle. In the first half we were fortunate in holding them down to a six to seven score. When the second half started however we were smothered by their hard line driving attack. We were a little afraid of the college town boys, and it surely looked bad for our boys when they scored a touchdown in the first few minutes of play. Then our boys began to throw passes all over the west end of Ada and soon scored two touchdowns putting us in the lead. We managed to retain this lead and win the game. This victory also gave us the league championship for the second consecutive year. The boys from the other side of Lake St. Marys were pretty confident of victory when they came out on the field for the game. Our boys how- ever took this game to heart because in the history of our school Celina has never won a football game from us. They were rated as a pretty tough team but went home after the game with another defeat staring them in the face. 'fhe Thanksgiving game with Wapak which was to be the event of the year never became a reality, for the mercury was hovering around zero that week. On this account Mr. McBroom and the superintendent from Wapak decided to call it off. As a result of these happenings the senior football players did not get to play the last game of the season. In this way the football year of “31” ended with a victory for the Old Memorial team. We suffered only 3 defeats and they were given to us from schools of much larger cities. The Midwestern Ohio League trophy was captured by the Blue and Gold gridsters again this year. We won every game in the league. For these victories we received a large loving cup with an inscription of a football player on it. This prize was well deserving of our efforts to win it. Bellefontaine, 19 M. H. S., 7 Ada, 6 M. H.

He has pulled the team through many tight games by his spectacular passing and running plays. James Axe—Jim was the one who always bucked the line for a touch- down. He leaves a vacant place on next year’s team. Wilson Gilmore—Will played halfback this year. He could always be depended upon for a gain through the center of the line. Arthur Boyce—Percy always gave us a gain in off tackle plays. He gave us six points in the WAPAK game which guaranteed victory. Louis Koehl—Gus is a junior this year and has proved to be one of the best ends who ever played for Memorial. He has been chosen captain of next year’s team. Donald McMurray—As our tackle he stopped many of our opponent’s plays. Ted Southerland—Ted has been on the team three years and has helped win many games for Memorial. He talked a lot but still worked more than he talked. James Koch—Jim is now a senior. Replacing him will be a difficult task as he was both stubborn and aggressive. He was pivot man and the team worked well around him. Bill Christopher—Bill has played four years of football for the school and he is a big man and the team will miss his smiles. Charles Heusch—This is Charley’s first year of football but, through his sp’endid ability to catch passes, he has pulled the team through many hard fought games. Robert Speckman—Bob was always a dependable guard. A Junior, now. he will be with us next year. Frederick Heath—Penny has been with us for one year and has work- ed hard for old Memorial. He was a good half back and will be missed by all. Thomas Lawler—Tom proved his ability as half back in the Lima South game. Due to sustained injuries he hasn’t played in all the games. He will be an alumnus next year. Paul Burden—Pistil has played end two years for Memorial. He played a hard game and will graduate this year.

His dependability rather than speech made him a good captain. We will miss him next year. CHARLES REILLY “Carlie” is as good on the floor as on the football field and believe me that is saying something. His place in high school will be hard to fill. KENNETH MEYERS “Kennie” was the biggest find of the season. Rated as a reserve last year he blossomed out during the last season to be one of the best centers turned out by Memorial Hi for some time. BERNARD TABLER “Tabler” is another one of our forwards and specialized in those one handed pot shots. He has made his last basket for Memorial Hi. LOUIS KOEHL “Ous although injured and out of the latter part of the season proved one of the main stays of the team. He will be with us next year. DON MEYERS Don” proved to be the big firecracher of our offense. His en- trance at the beginning of the second semester certainly livened things up as far as scoring is concerned. We will miss him next year. PAUL BURDEN “Pistol proved the bit mainstay of the team. Whenever Coach wanted a man for either guard or forward he always looked toward one man first. Nothing flashy but steady and consistent. Sorry to lose him. WILSON PLATTNER “Wilson” is a senior and we hate to lose him. One of the quickest and cat like forwards on the floor. He pulled the team out of many tight pinches during some of the games. Robert Noble, Robert Heap, Burdette Schamp have faithfully work- ed with the team this year, and we hope that they will be with us the coming season.

Mary graduates this spring. ANNABELLE WELLMAN “Willie” was one of our guards on the line up. You could always depend upon her to prevent the opposing team to pile up points. We will lose her too. VIRGINIA FREY We could be sure (linger could be depended upon to spoil her op- ponent’s game at getting the tip off. Virginia is also a Senior. MARY GLASS Mary was another of our valuable and reliable guards. Her guarding is close and gets results. She is a Senior. MARIE GUY “Megi” was one of our Junior guards who was always in the thickest of the fray. She is moving and we will miss her. NELLE LEE CROFT Lee was the little forward with pep who could flash in and get the ball from her guard and bring up the score. We like her fighting spirit and hope to see more of her next year. MARTHA DENNINGS “Murphy” was the red-headed forward who could zip the ball through the hoop at a critical time in the game. She was quick in all her plays. She will be back next year. JUANITA SOLOMON “Nita” was the snappy guard who was always on the job. She could take defeat with a smile and we’re betting on her next year. DOLORES DRAKE “Ducky” has two more years to play for Memorial. We hope she will show up well next year. RUTH BURRIS Ruth was a guard hard to beat. She played a steady game. Her work is fast and close. Watch her! Anna Mae Bartley and Violet Sheaks deserve honorable mention for their work. We hope to hear from them in the future.
