WITH PRIDE AND FEARFUL AN¬ TICIPATION WE PRESENT TO YOU The MIRROR of 1941 BECAUSE OF THE ABLE GUIDANCE OF MR. KOENIG AND OTHER FAC¬ ULTY MEMBERS, WE FEEL OUR BOOK IS UNQUESTIONABLY A SUC¬ CESS. WE HOPE THE FOLLOWING PAGES WILL SHOW YOU SOMETHING OF OUR SCHOOL LIFE AND SCHOOL CHARACTERS. Page 2 o THE MIRROR 19 4 1 THIS YEAR'S BOOK IS DEVOTED TO THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN ST. MARYS SCHOOLS AND THE SUR¬ ROUNDING RURAL DISTRICTS. WE LOOK WITH EXPECTATION TO¬ WARD THE FURTHERING OF THE INTERESTS OF THESE TWO. IT IS A WELL-KNOWN FACT THAT AGRI¬ CULTURAL INTERESTS ARE AS MUCH A PART OF OUR COMMUNITY AS THOSE OF THE MERCHANTS. DUR¬ ING THE PAST FEW YEARS MANY RURAL IMPROVEMENTS HAVE BEEN MADE. WE WISH TO EXPRESS OUR SIN¬ CERE THANKS TO THOSE WHO HAVE HELPED IN ANY WAY TO FURTHER PLEASANT RELATIONS AMONG SCHOOLS, MERCHANTS, AND FARM¬ ERS.

Many fine young men and women cherish the memory of a former teacher. With genuine appreciation a legion of students and friends see in retrospect her unselfish contributions of knowledge, guidance, and inspiration. A vast fund of spiritual gratitude stands today as a warm, living memorial to a life of devoted service. Love has not lost its own. With these majestic words of Whittier moderating our poignant sense of loss, we solemnly dedicate this book to the memory of a loved and respected teacher, Miss Hazel Bay.

The senior class of 1941 appreciates their efforts and offers its sincere thanks. Page 8 . . . . . 4 19 41 THE MIRROR Principal Memorial’s student advisor is Mr. Koenig-, our principal. He is very sympathetic and is respected both as a teacher and a friend. He is always on the lookout for methods of im¬ proving our school and does his work from day to day without a frown. May his cheery smile and beaming face be with Memorial for many years. Superintendent Mr. McBroom is a very capable executive, fully qualified to head our schools. He has always been as congenial and helpful as he has been efficient. Because as superintendent he has helped many students by his wise counsel he has gained the con¬ fidence and admiration of all students and faculty members. May this noble-minded man stay with Memorial for years to come. Page 9 T H E MIRROR Faculty George Hopkins, B. S. Band Instructor Miami University Ross Deniston. B. S.

College Preparator} Course Senior Class History For the fourth and last time the history of that group of students who are now seniors appears before you in this annual. As a review of the first three years of our high school education let it suffice to say that we entered Memorial in the fall of 1937 and supplemented the study of the succeed¬ ing years with the activities which absorb the attention of every high school class, such as sports and class functions. Our last official act as Juniors was to elect the Mirror Staff, which is listed elsewhere in this book, and the Senior class officers. We chose Richard Bushong, president; Rex Montague, vice president; Emma Jane Moehring, secretary and Albert Widner, treasurer. This brief recital brings us to the all-important senior year. At our first class assembly we made arrangements to take care of the ever-present governmental problems. With such details taken care of we devoted ourselves to the business of establishing firmly our unquestionable superiority over the other classes. This was not the simple procedure which we, in our ignorance, had formerly thought it to be. Throughout the year it was necessary for us to be on the alert lest some under-classman — who didn’t know it just wasn’t the proper thing to do — forge way ahead of us in school activities. How¬ ever we managed to keep our heads above water and even presented a play which equal¬ led the Junior’s production. The year ended with graduation activities, and so ends this chronicle of the senior class of 1941.

Those elected were : President — Jack Martin Vice President — Tom Fisher Secretary — Ned Johns Treasurer — Tom Wieser In November a committee appointed by President Jack Martin selected our class rings. We all deeply regret the loss of Miss Bay, our class adviser, who died during the Christmas vacation. The vacancy left by her has been well filled by Mr. Scott.

Cl ass History Following’ our mid-year examinations, our very successful play, “Girl Shy,” was given. We held a very successful and entertaining Junior-Senior reception on April 25, 1941. We were well represented in athletics, in the band, on the Live Wire and in the scholarship team. In May our regular yearly examinations were held with most of us passing on to our senior year. We all leave school, glad that we have completed another year, but sad that such an enjoyable year has ended, and we look forward to our senior year to be even fuller, more enjoyable, and more educational.

SOPHOMORE We, the Sophomore class, came back to school full of vim and vigor ready to renew our fight to be someone, someone really noti:eable in this large and great world of ours of which we are a part. We started to fight looking toward what we thought was a bright school year. We elected class leaders who we thought would help us to complete our school year success¬ fully. The Sophomore class has overcome and defeated the many obstacles that have lain in its path. The class has been very active in having concessions at basket ball games, and has received much cooperation from its members in its many attempts toward a cer¬ tain goal. The members of the class haye taken an active part in the activities of our school, such as the band, football teams, glee clubs, basketball teams, and the many other extra- ‘curricular activities which are within their grasp. The class advisors have helped and led us with their knowledge and experience in the many things :hat are new to us and in which we are inexperienced.

Cl ass History We have strived to uphold the reputation and high rating of our school by cooperat¬ ing with our teachers and leaders. Those who studied and worked became members of the scholarship team of which it is an honor to be a member, an honor of being a repre¬ sentative of your school in competitive examinations. We have completed our second year in high school, a school of which we are very proud to be students and in which we look forward to face the fight, our fight. We leave the school thinking of the experiences that we shall have in our vacation period, but we cannot help wondering what the next school year holds for us. We hope that it will be full of as many experiences and opportunities as the year we have just finished.

Page 30 J 19 4 1 THE 'MIRROR' Memorial High School is proud of its or¬ ganizations. We feel that these groups offer a definite service to our students in the en¬ couragement of cooperation, sacrifice, and the appreciation of the ideals of these associations. Our extracurricular activities this year have created in us that quality of cooperation. The lack of this cooperative nature can be the dif¬ ference between success and failure in many undertakings. Also our friendships and acquaintances have been broadened. In the crisis that the civilized world is under¬ going now, these traits of cooperation, sacrifice, and appreciation are most essential. Indeed we should be thankful that these groups are allowed to continue their helpful work of character building in our school. o Page 31 19 4 1 THE MIRROR Charles Bernard Dave Smith Gretta Koons Editor-in-Chief Financial Manager Literary Editor Virginia Osborne Tom Stalder Margaret Fox Bill Case Literary Editor Snapshot Editor Sports Editor Staff Artist Miaam, The staff this year has done its best to put forth a book that will take its place among the best ever published. We lost our Editor-in-Chief, Evelyn Henne, when she had to leave for Mississippi. Charles Bernard then took her place. We were sorry to lose Evelyn, but Charlie has more than shown his competence. The whole Mirror Staff worked together for their book, and all are to be complimented on their splendid results. Page 32 c 93 Mwioa £tajjj- Never before in the history of our school has our Mirror Staff been in a better financial condition at this time of the year. The paying of all bills before the dismissal of school was started as a precedent back in 1936 when Editor Horch and Business Manager William Dine were in the saddle. Since that time it seems to have become a tradition to pay all Mirror bills promptly. Now we feel it our duty to pay up all bills promptly and very early in the school year to make provisions for the raising of extra money, since the Mirror has always sold for less than it cost.

It did succeed in publishing big editions but whether they were better than former years is purely a matter of opin¬ ion. The editors were Staff Noble, Editor-in-Chief ; Helen Clark, Assistant Editor ; Mary Jo Kishler, Literary Editor; Betty Place, News Editor; George Losher, Exchange Edi¬ tor; Lynn Fisher, Sports Editor; Donald Sudman, Joke Editor. The reporters were Sally Reiher, Virginia Axe, Jean Newcomb, Phil Herzing, Janet Titus, Pat Holtzhauer, Janet Finke, Nancy Bosley, Joan Smith, Ruth Ferris, Helen Arm¬ strong, Nelson Kehl, Tom Wieser and Wilma Darnell. The Mirror Staff wishes to thank the Live Wire for their splendid cooperation in helping us to publish our annual this year.

Science QUw- A new club was formed in the high school this year which took the place of the recent Hi-Y. This was dropped for lack of cooperation. The Science Club drew up its constitution, selected its members, and carried on very interesting meetings. The members were selected from the Junior and Senior classes. Any boy with three years of science and a “C” average or two years of science and a “B” average was eligible. May this club prosper and become a definite part of the high school’s extra-curricular activities.

The background for the high school band concert was designed by Mr. Deniston and built by his class. The students were taught to work with paper mache, stencils, and in making of costume jewelry. The Christmas decoration on the high school building was built and put up by the art class.

Manual Anid This year the enrollment of the Manual Arts Department was the largest it has ever been. The boys have been putting the tools to a new use. The electric arc welder has been used to repair broken metal parts around the school. The fact that these boys have been doing good work was proved by the excellent quality of the projects they exhibited at the Community In¬ stitute. The school board purchased a very fine motion picture projector which was used to give the boys some visual education in subjects related to their shop work. All in all the boys should be congratulated on their achieve¬ ments.

This year’s team was slowed up by many accidents and worst of all by Mr. Reed’s leaving for Camp Shelby at about the half-way mark. The coaching was taken up by Mr. Bower and was very ably done. Although these accidents may have had some bearing on the showing of the team, the main fault lay in the lack of the ability to play football. Still the boys showed great sportsmanship in all their games. Page 50 19 4 1 THE MIRROR Games LIMA SOUTH — Who dcnesn’t believe in superstitions? It was Friday, the thirteenth, and we were the unlucky ones. Of course, this won’t happen all the time, for we know the Rough Riders will put all they have in every game. Lima South was just a little tough for us. Score: Lima South, 13 ; Memorial, 0. WAPAKONETA — Back with our old rivals again. The Rough Riders tried to buck their way down the field, but the Indians had a way of stop¬ ping them. We didn't take their feathers, but they took our scalps. We lost by a score of 6-0. COLDWATER — The Rough Riders traveled to Coldwater to give their boys a good work-out. It seems that both teams got a work-out, and Coldwater beat us. Score: 12-0. CELINA — Oh ! What a game ! We scored for the first time this year. However, the Celina Bulldogs got a bulldog hold on us and beat us by a score of 19-6. Oh, Me ! BLUFFTON — The Bluffton Pirates sailed into Memorial High Field with black flags waving and armed to the teeth. Memorial tried to save itself, but was finally captured. Final Score : Bluffton, 32 ; St. Marys, 7. BELLEFONTAINE — St. Marys traveled to Bellefontaine to invade the Chieftain’s ground, but they found to their sorrow a wet and muddy field. The Rough Riders don’t care for mud at all, so the Chieftains took us by a score of 32-0. VAN WERT — Our boys went to Van Wert to be beaten by a score of 49 to 13. No one seems to know just how it happened, but the Cougars sprang upon the Rough Riders, much like the animal for which the Cougars were named. WAPAKONETA — Gee, the Red Skins really scalped the Rough Riders this time. If the Rough Riders would only be a little rougher we might win a game some time. Wapakoneta beat us by a score of 13-0. LIMA SHAWNEE — At last the Rough Riders really got rough. St. Marys fans witnessed game after game of disappointments, but at last they saw a very exciting game. For the first time this year our team worked as a team. The linesmen did a splendid piece of blocking. Shawnees’ team was thrown for several losses. Our back field was ex¬ ceptionally good. All in all, the Rough Riders wiped out the Shawnee eleven by a score of 13-0 in our favor. Page 51 19 4 1 THE MIRROR Coach Bower Dave Smith — 37. Senior - Lefthalf - 2 Letters. Clem Brodbeck — 27.

Pave 53 o 1 THE MIRROR 19 4 1 Lettermen HELMSTETTER — Ferd was rather light for the center of the line, but he held his position down as well as any one on the team. Ferd is a senior this year. DUNCAN — A fast, hard charging guard who was never seen without a bloody nose. This was Dune’s second year on the varsity. LOSHER — George was the lightest man on the line and probably the fastest.1 This was George’s first year on the varsity. He played guard. WIERWILLE — Virge played tackle. He was one of the largest men on the team, still his size was not used to its greatest advantage. Never¬ theless Virge played as well as anybody else on the team. He is a senior. BOTKIN — One of the outstanding tackles in the Buckeye League but Charlie also had his bad nights. His best game was with Lima. Charlie is also a senior. SCHNARRE — Sonny was the most dependable player on the team. He was hurt early in the season but was able to play, after missing a couple of games, in the remainder of the season. NAGEL — LeRoy was a tall pass-snagging end who caught passes like a ballet dancer, but he was a little weak on defense. CROUSE — Dick was another one of our smaller lineman, but he tried as hard as any other player. He is a senior this year. ASHBAUGH — “Pud” played tackle this year. He is a junior. STEINECKER — Ott was one of the biggest linemen we had this year. He is a junior center and will be back next year. SMITH — A senior left half who played good fast football until he was hurt in the middle of the season. This is his second year on the varsity. BRODBECK — Clem played right half and full back. He was a de¬ pendable player and gave his all for Memorial. He is a senior. WIDNER — Ab played right half this year having been moved there from right end. This is his third year on the varsity. MARTIN — Jack played fullback this year. Jack is a junior. DERRINGER — Bill was a brainy quarterback. He also excelled in block¬ ing and tackling. He will be back on the team next year.

Basketball St. Marys’ basketball team this year was expected to go places, but bogged down early in the season and didn't come out of the doldrums until the near end. The Rough Riders ended in second place in the Western Buckeye League, and for the first time in a good many years entered the second round of the sectional tournament by defeating Upper Sandusky. However, with the height and ability that is coming up from the underclassmen, St. Marys should be up among the best of them in the next two or three years, provided that the boys are willing to train, and most important of all, keep heir heads down to normal hat size.

In the first place, the white stars illustrate our union of forty-eight states. Secondly, the dark blue field almost glows with the meaning of loyalty to our land. Next come to my mind the bright red stripes which signify the blood of the men who so bravely fought for the liberty of their country. And last, but not least, are the white stripes. These stand for the purity of our countrymen. A'hen thinking of our flag, there flashes into my mind the things for which it has stood in the past and the things for which it will stand in the future. Francis Scott Key, seeing his own flag still waving that fatal night, was so inspired that he wrote a song, a song which is now our national anthem. From this one illustration, it can be seen what this symbol of unity, purity, bloodshed, and loyalty could and should mean to each and every one of us. As the days pass by, our country becomes more and more involved in national and world-wide problems. Hawever, no matter what happens as a result of these difficulties, we all hope that our flag can still stand for everything that is good and true.

In the senior scholarship contest we took five out of eight places, and among them the first place. Earl Althoff took third place in the spelling con¬ test held in Lima. Stafford Noble won a scholarship to Kent Uni¬ versity by writing a winning essay. Lowell Hackler was honored as an Eagle Scout, the first in St. Marys. Last year our scholarship team was awarded fourth place in the state. This year we have an extraordinary scholarship team, and we are looking for them to keep up the record.

At last two of them took the leap, going into the water over their ankles. The third edged this way and that and looked desperate. Just then a closed car rolled up in front of her and the driver invitingly opened both his back doors. Daintily the young lady stepped into the car, out again onto the trolley, and Sir Walter Raleigh of the machine age closed his doors and rolled on. — Christian Science Monitor VISUAL INEFFICIENCY HINDERS YOUR SUCCESS BOTH IN SCHOOL AND IN BUSINESS DR.

I often recall the story of an American who made a grand tour of Europe on a plan which allowed 48 hours at the most for each of the great capitals. When he returned to “God’s country,” a neighbor asked him if he had seen Venice. “Yes,” he replied; “but when we got there they were in the midst of a terrible flood.
