Mr. Arthur Mohr (not in photo) Our School Board THE splendid work our School Board has done deserves much praise. To their lot falls the haidest and most thankless work of all. The com- munity expects the Board to provide them with a good High School, one that compares favorably with others of its size, however, the Board has only limited means to provide this with and if we sometimes think them a trifle slow we should consider the means they have to work with. The addition of our Home Economics Department is due to the co- operation of the board, with the teachers. This department is splendid for a school of this size and out shines some we know of. Each year they endeavor to add something new and improve the old. Through this means we wish to express our appreciation of their good work. 5 ORANGE AND BLACK The Faculty 6 MISS INEZ BLYSTONE Science M ET AM O R A HIGH SCHOOL The Faculty MISS LUCIA GAUDERN Music 7 ORANGE AND BLACK The Faculty MR. HUDSON, Superintendent Mr. Hudson is our Superintendent and M. H. S. and community are proud of him. His elementary education was received in the rural schools of Winesburg, Ohio. There he was also graduated from High School. He then taught in rural and village schools for six years. He entered Wooster College in 1914 and graduated in 1917 with the degree Bachelor of Science. Mr. Hudson came to Metamora the following year and he liked the town so well he married one of its daughters. He answered his Country’s call in the spring of 1918 and spent nine months in service and was then commissioned in the Reserve at the end of the service. Mr. Hudson returned to Metamora and finished the school year. He has had post-graduate work at Teachers’ College, Columbia University, for three summers. He is the holder of both elementary and High School life certificates in Ohio. He has worked long for the benefit of this school and has made us known to other schools. He is looked up to and respected by the pupils of this school and we hope M. H. S. will have the privilege of keeping him for many years. MISS BLYSTONE Miss Blystone is our Home Economics teacher. She graduated from High School in Toledo, Ohio, then taught in the elementary schools of Richfield Township. She attended Ohio Wesleyan for one year, then trans- ferred her favor to Ohio State University where she graduated in 1920 with her degree of Home Economics. Miss Blystone entered Smith Hughes Vocational work in Home Econ- omics at Mortel, Ohio, where she remained for one year. It is very inter- esting to be in Miss Blystone’s classes and a real pleasure to w'ork with her. She has done much for the benefit of the M. H. S. and through this we wish to thank her most heartily. MR. COCHRAN Mr. Cochran is our teacher of Manual Arts. He was a graduate of Fayette High School, Class of ’14. He also graduated from Bowling Green, Normal College. Mr. Cochran was a student of the University of Cincinnati Training School for Motor Mechanics. He also was a member of the 310th M. T. C. Army of Occupation, Coblenz, Germany. He has taught six years in the public schools of Fulton County. This is Mr. Cochran’s first year in the M. H. S. and he is well liked by all his associates here. We hope he will be content to stay here for a few- more years. 8 M ETA M ORA HIGH SCHOOL Tke Faculty MISS GAUDEUN, Music Teacher We are fortunate in securing Miss Gaudern as our instructor in music. This is the first year the course has been in the curriculum and we feel it is quite a privilege. Miss Gaudern has made a place for herself among us and we hope to have her again next year. MR. BROWN, Principal Mr. Brown is our Principal and we all know what a good one he is. He also teaches History, Economics and Agriculture. His elementary ed- ucation was received in the rural schools of Fulton County. He was graduated from High School at Fayette, Ohio, and from College at Angola, Indiana. Mr. Brown has also had training in several Normal Colleges. He has taught for thirteen years, seven of which were elementary and six years in High School. Mr. Brown is our Athletic Coach and a great pal to ail the boys. He has also a personal interest in each student.. He has a warm personality and to him much credit is due the interest he has taken for the good of the school. We all hope he will not want to leave our school for many years to come. MISS WEGENER We are proud to say that Miss Wegener is one of our teachers. She is our English and Latin teacher. Miss Wegener graduated from gram- mar school and High School in Augusta. Kentucky. She then taught in a grammar school at Bondesferrv, Ohio, when she decided to go to school again. The next year she was enrolled on the University of Chicago list. While in Chicago, Miss Wegener had many experiences in working and associating with the girls of the Charity Institution. English and Latin were her favorite subjects and she specialized in these. Before com ing to Metamora, Miss Wegener taught in Ogden, Utah, New Richmond, Ohio, and Manlius, Illinois. Miss Wegener has done much for our school both in our work and pleasure. She is always willing to help and encourage every student and we feel this is a great deal to say for any teacher. y ORANGE AND BLACK 10 ORANGE AND BLACK LUCILLE GIBBS Member of the Lincoln Literary Society Member of the Editorial Staff Mick Name—“Fatty” Favorite Expression—“Oh the Dickens” Ambition—Fashion Model WALTER ATWELL Member of Minervian Literary Society Member of the Glee Club Member of the Editorial Staff Nick Name—“Crow” Favorite Expression—“I told you so” Ambition—Editor of Metamora Record PAULINE RAY Member of the Lincoln Literary Society Member of the Glee Club Member of the Editorial Staff Nick Name—“Runt” Favorite Expression—“Say, Kiddo” Ambition—Toe Dancer 12 METAMORA HIGH SCHOOL MARION TREDWAY Member of the Lincoln Literary Society Member of the Glee Club President of the Senior Class Editor-in-chief of the Annual Favorite Expression—“My Governor” Ambition—Actress Nick Name—“Jack” ARTHUR SANDERSON Member of the Lincoln Literary Society Member of the Glee Club Business Manager of the Annual Nick Name—“Professor” Favorite Expression—“Bless the thing Ambition—Football Star MARJORIE FORI) Member of the Lincoln Literary Society Member of the Glee Club Assistant Editor of the Annual Nick Name—“Skinny” Favorite Expression—“That’s a brilliant afTair Ambition—Janitoress of Waldorf-Astoria 13 ORANGE AND BLACK VIOLA SCHEUER Member of Minervian Literary Society Member of the Editorial Staff Nick Name—“Vi” Favorite Expression—“Man, Oh, Man!” Ambition—Spinster I.ELAND McMUNN Member of Minervian Literary Society Member of the Glee Club Nick Name—“Boob” Favorite Expression—“Oh, I see now Ambition—Rudolph’s Rival I)ESSIE SMALLMAN Member of the Lincoln Literary Society Nick Name—“Deckie” Favorite Expression—“By Gee” Ambition—Opera Singer 14 METAMORA HIGH SCHOOL CATHERINE SCHMITZ Member of the Lincoln Literary Society Member of the Glee Club Member of the Editorial Staff Nick Name—“Katie” Favorite Expression—“It’s a serious mat- ter” Ambition—Mrs. ?

OUR class entered M. H. S. in the year 1919 and thenceforth took the name of “class of ’23.” The first few days as freshmen were very hard for us, getting acquainted with the strange faces, groups of teachers and the schedule; but we soon became accus- tomed to the new ways and everything ran smoothly. The first thing of general interest that happened that year was the Freshmen reception. We all looked forward to this night as the time we were to meet our “Waterloo”, but the night passed, indeed, a glorious night for the three upper classes, and for the Freshmen, too. The next morning all reported to classes feel- ing as well as could be expected. Mr. Hudson is still Superintendent this year and has remained with our class to the end. Mr. Brown, as Principal, also kept his position as History, Economics and Agriculture teacher. Mrs. Champion was our English teacher the first three years of our High School days. Soon after school started we were di- vided into two Literary Societies, the Minervians and Lincolns. At the very beginning every member of the class put forth an effort to excel in everything he attempted. Many of the class took active part in the athletics, under Mr. Brown as coach. As our Freshman year came to a close we all felt that we had done our part in the class room and else- where and we looked forward to the year following. All the class was promoted to the Sophomore year. The next year brought new subjects, also new activities, as the Home Econ- omics Department and Manual Training Department were added to the school. Miss Devenport was added to the faculty as the instructor in the Home Economics work. All of the girls of our class en- rolled in this class and came out excellent cooks and house keepers—(?) This year brought a decrease of three members in our class, one of these discon- tinued school work and two moved to Swanton, taking up their school work at this place. This left the total number in our class fourteen. This year ran along smoothly, the class gaining knowledge and influence as the days passed, so that the next year we were ready to be called “Juniors”. Now we are no longer under classmen and others begin to realize that we are a very important factor in the school. A High School Orchestra was organized this year, the Junior class furnishing several members. All the teachers remained ex- cept Miss Devenport, and she was suc- ceeded by Miss Blystone. The enrollment of the class remained the same, having fourteen members. The Senior year brought the same four- teen back who had stuck together the year before. All the teachers remained but Mrs. Champion and she was succeeded by Miss Wegener, who added Latin teach- ing to her English work. The Senior class took the responsibility of handling the Lyceum Course this year. Although the ticket sale was very large, a slight de- ficit remained which was covered by other means. In addition to the former high school line-up music was given as a re- quirement under the direction of Miss Gaudern. A boys’ and girls’ Glee Club was also organized and progressed in fine fashion. This last year was spent more diligent- ly and earnestly than any before. Every phase of school life was promoted with enthusiasm and spirit. We set grad- uation as our immediate goal and were not satisfied until we had reached it suc- cessfully. After reaching this goal we hope to reach out into the broad and more serious avenues of life. 17 ORANGE AND BLACK Senior Class Prophesy) 'T'HE first vacation that I had after I started in business as a civil engineer, I decided to spend in and near my home town, Metamora. When I arrived at the old town, I went to the confectionery to see my friend Francis, but much to my surprise I found Walter Atwell in a large white apron, busily engaged in mixing a lemon soda. After greetings were over I learned that this was just a side line, that his real mis- sion in life was to grow a variety of gar- den peas which were square, so they would not roll off his knife when he tried to eat them. Upon further inquiry, I found that Arthur Sanderson was a Professor of Physics in Ohio State University and was still single though he had lead a wild life while in High School. I also learned, in the course of the con- versation, that Grace Hannah and Harold Klein were traveling on the Keith’s Cir- cuit, as great (?) singers. It seems that Leland McMunn and Des- sie Smallman were traveling with Ring- ling Brothers, as curosities, and they were making a great hit. As for Maynard Welch, he is a ball pitcher in the minor leagues somewhere. Marion Tredway has become a mission ary somewhere near the Sahara Desert and has gotten rid of her desire to vamp unsuspecting young men. Marjorie Ford has become a music teacher and gives piano lessons to arm- less men and women. She is known all over the world for her marvelous work in this line. Pauline Ray is a self-supporting little maid, and if a man dares to come near her she gets quite wrathy. Catherine Schmitz has become a public speaker. She has traveled all over the United States speaking on the subject, “Resolved that the Woman Should Sup- port the Family. Lucile Gibbs is a Domestic Science teacher in the good old Metamora High School, (who ever heard of a domestic science teacher marrying?) and is a very good teacher. Viola Scheuer has settled down on a chicken ranch about a mile north of Met- amora. As for Luella Bilor, she has become an instructor in athletics, basket ball being her specialty.

Marjorie Ford, Assistant Editor, has done her share by willingly assisting the editor-in-chief with this great and momentous undertaking. Arthur Sanderson, our very efficient business manager has been a most won- derful asset to our staff. He has worked diligently for the success of the “Orange and Black”, and we have him to thank for the financial success of the project. Wanda Gormley, our Advertising Man- ager has also been a great aid to our an- nual, by securing such a great number of advertisements and by managing the ad- vertising campaign so successfully. Viola Scheuer, Author of the Senior write-ups, lived up to our expectation of her in finding nicknames, pet phrases and also in predicting our future professions, which only time can prove false or true. The delicate task of collecting and re cording the facts concerning our faculty and school board, was given to Grace Hannah. She did her work so well that she proved to us that all her talent is not with her voice, but that she possesses lit- erary skill as well. To lone Franklin, the head of our Cal- endar Department, is due a great deal of credit for her untiring efforts in making our first annual, the “Orange and Black”, a success. This is one of the most inter- esting features of our annual and neces- sitates work daily on her part. Catherine Schmitz, Social Editor, is very deserving of commendation for the manner in which she has written about our social events. In years to come, in looking over the “Orange and Black” of 1922-23, many pleasant memories of the social events will be revived and no doubt we’ll realize those were the happiest days of our lives. Lucille Gibbs took up the very difficult task of writing up the full account of the Fulton County Literary Contests, which M. H. S. entered throughout the school year of 1922-23. Maynard Welch, writer of the athletic pages, has been very faithful in recording for the annual a very definite description of each game we played during 1922-23. These descriptions will bring back to our memory the glorious victories and woeful but few (?) defeats of old M. H. S. Thelma Smith, head of our Joke De- partment, is ever alert to make us forget our troubles. With her ready jokes, she causes many of her school associates to see the bright side of life, instead of worrying over the next Physics test or whether Mr. Brown will give a written lesson in Modern History. “Scatter a lit- tle sunshine all along the way”, is her motto. Walter Atwell, head of the Snapshot Department, with the help of the differ- ent members of the school has succeeded in collecting for our annual a number of pages of snaps, which we hope will en- tertain and remind us as Seniors, through- out the years to come, of the good old times we had at M. H. S. 21 ORANGE AND BLACK 22 JUNIOR CLASS Standing: Stanley Hies. Paul Wright. Lnwaon Woodring. Harry Bartlett. Myrtle Peebles. Ralph Hamaby. Karl Sanderson.

While visiting my classmates, I learned many interesting things. Yes, there is the same hotel, but I see it has all the modern equipment. The pro- prietor tells me that marrying has become a disease around Metamora, and most of my classmates have become victims. There is Francis Geiger, my seat mate for three years, and the most precise of the Juniors. She has married a well-to- do fanner, just out of the city limits. I will call on her first. She tells me that Lawson Woodring, after proposing to Fern Dennis a number of times, finally got her to say yes, and so they are married. Lawson has become a Professor of The University of Metamora. Mrs. Woodring teaches here also. Thelma Smith has become a noted dancer. She is famed for her dance called “Don’t”. She is to be married soon to a noted French Artist, the wed- ding is to be a grand affair, and all the prominent people of Metamora will be there. Earl Sanderson is a professor at The Ohio State University. He is specializing in Chemistry, and “no girls”, although he had a great liking for the girl his brother married. Wanda Gormley has married the brother of Earl Sanderson, and they live on a ranch in the West. Arthur, with the help of his little wife, has built a regular little “love nest”. They say Wanda makes a wonderful little wife, although she does pull Arthur’s hair once in awhile. Ralph Barnaby has become a great doc- tor. He has a wonderful ability to euro the disease called love sickness. “For the cure”, he says, “When the old one wears out, go find another one”. He knows for he has tried it. Ruth Ries has been married, divorced, and is ready to be married again. Rather quick work, while I haven’t been mar- ried at all. But Ruth was always lucky. Eulalia Scheuer, the Junior vamp, has never married. She always had a failing for a classy looking fellow, who must also be a wonderful dancer. She was unable to find one that she wanted as she was rather unchangeable in her ideas. She has become a classic dancer, now. She has an engagement in New York City this winter. Harry Bartlett has become a great athlete. He has won the championship from Dempsey, and is now planning on going in the ring against the French champion. Stanley Ries has become a traveling salesman and has a different girl in every town. Wonder what he does at Christ- mas time? lone Franklin has become a noted movie actress, but the thing that she has aimed the highest to obtain is still to be gained —a millionaire husband. We hope that she succeeds, maybe she will this winter when she goes to Paris. Watch the paper. Alice Tripp has become a Latin teacher in Wooster College, and is now engaged to the professor of the Ohio State University. As for Myrtle Peebles, I visited a cosy studio on East Main, near the corner of Garnsey Avenue. She is teaching Dram- atic Art and Classic Dancing, and still has Harley dangling on a string.

Early in the year, in order to raise funds for victrola records, we gave a school concert, grades and high school both taking part. At holiday time, under the direction of the grade teachers, the grade pupils very successfully produced the operetta, “The Stolen Flower Queen.” On February 1st, our High School Glee Club, composed of thirty-five members made their first appearance before the public. Altho many had never sung in chorus before, and were unaccustomed to part-singing, thru sheer determination and hard work, they made up for the lack of training and experience, and a very creditable performance of an interesting group of songs was given. As the final offering of the year the Glee Club will present the operetta, “Love Pirates in Hawaii”. In our work thruout the school, while we aim to do our work in sight reading and singing, we also try to foster the love of the best music with the use of the victrola. In this connection plans are under way to hold a music memory con- test. Much has been accomplished in this year’s work, but I believe that the great- est thing is the realizations of what a large field we have entered, and what a small portion we have explored.—L. R. G. Home Economics Department HAVE you ever stopped to consider the influence our homes have upon Amer ican Democracy? The home is the very foundation of our community, our state and our nation. Professor Giddings defines the home as “the place of development of the social, in- dividual, economic, and cultural.” The home should stand for rest, for peace, for comfort, for health and inspira- tion, for the true spiritual development of each member of the family. Thus much thought must be given by those who ex- pect to establish homes. Our boys and girls of today will be the men and women of tomorrow. Our aim in the Home Economics De- partment is to train our girls, not only in the fundamental principles of cooking and sewing, but also to train them for better home-makers. This includes training in sanitation, the decoration and attractiveness of a home, the laws of health, the simple pleasures and ways of right living and the wise ex- penditure of money for these things in order to make the home a happy and healthful place. You can readily see what a broad held we have to cover, but we can only begin to teach the fundamental principles in the short time allotted. Two years are given to the work, which makes it necessary to alternate the courses. This year we have given the girls training in the principles and prac- tical work in cooking and sewing. The following year the girls will have an oppor- tunity to take up sanitation, personal hy- giene, the decoration and management of the home, together with advanced work in sewing. 35 ORANGE AND BLACK Society Events FRESHMEN RECEPTION On the afternoon of September 22, 1922, the Freshmen were very much surprised to receive invitations to the “Initiation” that was to be given in their honor by the Sophomores, Juniors and Seniors, on Mon day evening, September 25, 1922. The Freshmen looked forward to this day with awe and suspicion. When the Freshmen arrived the even- ing of the Initiation, they were conspicu- ously dressed by an appointed Committee. A short program was then given by members of the M. H. S., which was as follows: Freshmen Introduction by Harold Klein; a dance by Miss Avery; Class Prophecy read by Alice Tripp; “Advice to the Freshmen” was well read by Marion Patten. This concluded the program. The Initiation followed, every one of the Freshmen being good sports and en- joying the stunts almost as well as the audience. Miss Beryl Tredway and Mr. Harold Wright entered into a contest of seeing who could ride the fastest on a “Kiddv Car.” Mr. Hart Schwen and Mr. Wesley Shafer were made to recall the first time they ever smoked, when not being able to do so, they were put in the “stocks” for a short time. A number of other minor stunts were performed, after which flash light pic- tures were taken of the beloved Freshies, for we did not wish to have them escape our memories. Refreshments were served and the Freshies felt well repaid for facing the dangers of initiation. After bidding adieu to their kind class- mates and faculty they departed, boasting of the ability of their school mates to entertain them in such a successful manner. SOPHOMORES’ PARTY The Sophomores gave a party, Friday evening. September 29, 1922, at the home of Treva Feeback, with a number of Juniors and Seniors present. The evening was spent in playing favor- ite party games, holding contests, dancing and singing. A bountiful lunch was served, preceded by a grand march. Everyone reported an enjoyable time and looked forward to the next Sopho- more party. HALLOWE’EN PARTY “Black Cat” invitations were given to members of M. H. S., Friday, October 27, 1922, by Marion Patten. Upon them was this verse: “This little black cat will bring no harm But invites you to a party at the Patten Farm. The Ghosts and Witches will all there be, So mask your faces and come and see.” On Friday evening, October 27th, all came masked and dressed to suit the oc- casion. With the house decorated in Hal- lowe’en fashion, the appearance was very weird. The Ghosts met us at the door. After spending considerable time in plac- ing our friends, the evening was spent in playing Hallowe’en games, dancing and singing. The most interesting feature of the evening was the “fortune telling”. Everyone was anxious to have his fortune told, so he might know his fate. About twelve o’clock a bountiful lunch was served on a beautifully decorated table. All enjoyed themselves immensely and after bidding their hostess good-night returned to their homes feeling that the evening had been pleasantly spent. 36 METAMORA HIGH SCHOOL COUNTRY GENTLEMAN PARTY The contest between the “Jeffs” and “Mutts” to obtain subscribers for the Country Gentleman Magazine was won by the “Jeffs”. The agreement between the two parties, for the losing side to give a party, was carried out Friday night, November 10, 1922. The folks present at the party in their country gentlemen and country women costumes felt very much at home. The evening was spent playing very ap- propriate games and having contests. Treva Feeback and Virgil Tripp were chosen as the best representations of a country gentleman and woman. They then received the sacrament of matrimony with Miss Wegener acting as presiding elder. This ceremony was followed by a grand march, and a very country like supper was served. This occasion could not easily be for- gotten, since everyone felt that they had been entered in the most perfect form. YE FOOLS’ PARTY A very enjoyable evening was spent by twenty-six of the Misses Beryl and Mar- ion Tredways’ friends, at the Tredway home, March 31st. Many games were played and two very interesting contests were participated in. The prize for the first contest, namely; “Hunting Easter Eggs”, was presented to Miss Wanda Gormley. A small rabbit was given to Elba Ritchey for the booby prize. The second contest, the animal game, was won by Beryl Tredway, Marjorie Ford and Harold Klein. A “Sheik’s” ring was given to the former; a pair of “Sheik’s” earrings to the second winner: and a diamond (?) ring to the latter. Following the games, the main feature was dancing. Refreshments were served during the evening. After spending several interesting hours, we returned home, feeling very grateful for the evening pleasures we had had. FOURTH ANNUAL SCHOOL FAIR Our Fourth Annual School Fair, held April 6, 1923, proved to be about as suc- cessful, both socially and financially, as those held in former years. The fair started at eleven-thirty with a parade of touring cars, trucks and wag- ons. Some were decorated to represent a certain line of work in school; others, to represent the special features of the after- noon. The grade pupils were dressed in costumes representing the different na- tions, Civil War veterans, clowns, nurses, etc. Immediately after the parade a big chicken diner w'as given after which the various booths and stands were opened, and many interesting stunts were pre- sented. At five-thirty a cafeteria supper w as served. The faculty and pupils deserve many thanks for the special effort that they put forth in making this event a success. Following is a list of articles on which tickets were sold and the winners of the same; Coal—Mrs. Cockran Oil—Walter Atwell Candy—James Franklin Gown—Mrs. Ritchey Cigars—Jim McIntyre Quilt—S. F. Kourey Table Spread—Walter Reed The fair netted about $456.00, which shall be used to add to the equipment of the school. 37 ORANGE AND BLACK Literary Contests THE FIRST LITERARY CONTEST The first contest of the Fulton County Literary Association was held February 13th, at Metamora, between Metamora and Fulton Centralized High Schools; every number was hotly contested and not until the decision of the judges were read was the real outcome known. Under the leadership of Stanley Ries and Eulalia Scheuer the pupils of M. H. S. were very enthusiastic in their yells and songs.

Base Ball THE first baseball game of the season was played September 13th with Syi- vania High. Owing to the fact that the town team had not finished its season. Welch and Crockett were not allowed to play. However, Metamora was under less handicap than Sylvania, because seven of Sylvania’s men were also prohibited from playing. The game started with Bartlett in the box. In the fourth inning Bartlett was relieved by Wesley Ries. The home team won with a score of 9 to 8. On the following Friday, Chesterfield came over. The game started with Welch on first and Crockett in his old position at short. Not much excitement was created as the game was a walk-awa.v for Meta mora, the score being 8 to 3. The next Wednesday we traveled to Sylvania. The game began with Nichols in the box and Keith receiving him. Met amora batted first but was unable to score on Bumcrots. In the last half of the first inning Sylvania scored three runs. The game proceeded for seven innings without either team scoring. In the first of the ninth Metamora made her only score. This game, as nearly every other game with Sylvania was lost in the first inning. The game with Ai, September 22nd; with Lyons, September 29th; with Ai, October 13th, were of little importance. Metamora won the first, 10 to 2, the sec- ond, 8 to 4, and tied the third, 2 to 2. The game with Chesterfield was a very interesting one. Metamora scored only two runs in the fourth, and one in the 41 ORANGE AND BLACK Standing Seated: left to rivcht: Marry Bartlett, Ralph Barnaby, L.

(mannuer) : fifth inning. Chesterfield scored once in the first and once in the third. This gave Metamora the game by a margin of one run. The big game of the season was played at Lyons, October 20th. A change was made in the lineup by putting Ponton, an outfielder, on first. Welch pitched, and Keith did a great job of catching. In the sixth inning three Metamora players got two hits and two runs each. Besides Basket Basketball is almost a new sport in our school. This is the first year that any of us have had a chance at the game. How- ever, great enthusiasm has been shown on the part of, not only the boys, but also the girls. The first game of the season was played at Lyons, December 8th. The first and second boys’ teams and the girls’ team this Barnaby got two walks and two runs. The home team got nineteen hits, 15 runs and had seven errors. Lyons got one hit, three runs and had four errors. On the whole, Metamora has had a very successful season; with six games won, one lost and one tied. Besides this there were two interesting games with the busi- ness men, which resulted in our winning one and losing one. This is the best record M. H. S. has had for a long time. Ball were in action. These games showed us where we were weak, and also what could be done under fire. The outcome was bad, resulting in defeat in all three giimes. On December 15th, the Church of Christ team of Adrian came over. They were older and more experienced players than our fellows, and consequently we took the short end of the score. Adrian displayed 12 METAMORA HIGH SCHOOL GIRLS BASKKT BALL TEAM HtMiMUnir: Marion Trod way, L. F. : Mi Wcwnir, (conch): Ixniella BMor, R. G.: Trova Foebark. R. F.

The next Friday, December 22nd, Lyons came here for a return game. The Reserves and the girls’ team lost their game, but the first team won its first game of the season. None of these games could be called fast. The following Wednesday evening we journeyed to Toledo to play the Broadway M. E. team. Metamora won with a score of 21 to 18. January 5th we played the Church of Christ team a return game at Adrian. Adrian displayed much skill and com- pletely outplayed us. We took the short end of a 56 to 16 score. On January 12th Maumee came here with three teams; two boys’ and a girls’ team. The second teams battled thru a game, featured by defensive playing. Maumee won by a score of 7 to 6. The girls’ team lost by a score of 33 to 7. How- ever, several of our girls were out of the game on account of illness. The game between the first teams was the best and fastest game played by our team this sea son. Metamora lost by nine points, the score being 32 to 23. January 19th the Broadway M. E. team came here for a return game. In the first half our fellows were completely lost and made but a few points. In the second half the home team began to play basket- ball, but could not overcome the lead which the visitors had secured. February 2nd Morenci came here. By clever floor work and great passing our first team defeated Morenci. The Re- serves and the girls did not fare so well, losing their games. The next Friday we went to Fayette. The only victorious outfit was the Re- serves. In the next Friday evening contest with Monclova, here, the first team was I:', ORANGE AND BLACK the only victorious aggregation. The Re serves lost by one point. The first time that all our teams were victorious was February '23rd from Swan- ton. The first team and the girls’ team played. It was the girls’ first victory of the season. The next night we went to Morenci. They had an entirely different quintet than when they came here. In a five minute overtime, Morenci won. The Mor- enci girls also won. Friday morning, March 2nd, we left for the Bowling Green Tournament. In the afternoon we played Bradner and easily defeated them. Saturday morning we played McComb. There was a decided lack of organization and team work and we did not play nearly as good a game as we did the day before. McComb won by a score of 19 to 11. Friday, March 9th, Fayette came here for a return game. By applying some of the knowledge gained at Bowling Green, and also good team work, we defeated Fayette. The girls won their second game. On the following Wednesday evening our girls won a game from Blissfield. On Friday following, we went to Swan- ton. The boys’ first team and the girls’ team won by a small margin. The Re- serves lost. The last games of the season were played at Maumee, March 24th. Maumee exhibited much team work and efficient passing. Metamora did not see victory in any of the three games. Considering that this is our first sea son, we had fairly good luck. The first team won 8 and lost 6; the Reserves won 2 and lost 6; the girls won 4 and lost 8. Here is our record for this year : Metamora, 20—Lyons, 27 Metamora, 45—Lyons, 29 Metamora, 23—Maumee, 32 Metamora, 25—Morenci, 9 Metamora, 21—Fayette, 13 Metamora, 21—Monclova, 17 Metamora, 20—Swanton, 9 Metamora, 19—Morenci, 23 Metamora, 12—Delta, 8 Metamora, 30—Bradner, 10 Metamora, 11—McComb, 19 Metamora, 26—Fayette, 25 Metamora, 22—Swanton, 17 Metamora, 29—Maumee, 50 The prospects for basketball next sea- son are good as Welch and Sanderson are the only first team men to graduate. The girls will lose Louella Bilor and Marion Tredway. Here is an individual record of all players who have made any points cn any of the three teams:— PLAYER WELCH CROCKETT H. WRIGHT P.

The other day she said, “The boy has arose.” Fuzzy. “That man is staring at my nose.” Wanda: “Oh, he’s a reporter and has to keep his eye on everything that turns up.” Miss Blystone: “What birds are kept in captivity?” Ruth: “Jail birds.” Miss Gaudern: “If you can't sing it, beat it. (We all left). Excelsior The shades of night were falling fast The fool “stepped on it” and rushed past A crash—he died without a sound They opened up his head and found Excelsior! Mr. Brown: (In Agri. class) “Harry, what do you spray apple trees with ?” Harry: “Spray pump.” Fuzzy: “Did Emerson write his Essays before he died?” Stanley. “Please come out in the gar- den with me.” Marion: “Oh, no, I must not go out without a chaperone.” Stanley: “We won’t need one.” Marion: “Then I don’t want to go.” Love ? ? ? lx ve is like an onion; We taste it with delight But when it’s gone we wonder What ever made us bite. Harold: “Where do you bathe ?” Wallace: “In the spring.” Harold: “I asked you where, not when.” Wanda: “Arthur, help me with this problem ?” Arthur: “I could, but I don’t think that it would be right.” Wanda: “No, I don’t think it would, but have a shot at it and see.” Thelma: “Why do you insist on calling me cold cream ?” Walter: “Because you are aiways so nice to a chap.” Mrs. Ford: “Marjorie, I have told you many times before not to let me find you kissing a boy.” Marjorie: “It’s your own fauit, mother, I’ve told you not to wear rubber heels.” Mr. Hudson: “What would you do, supposing a deaf and dumb asylum was burning ?” Almond: “Ring the dumbbell.” Arden: “Last night 1 was out with Marjorie and the car broke down six miles from Berkey. 1 spent the rest of the evening repairing it. What would you have done ?” Harry: “The same thing that you did, only I wouldn’t have lied about it.” Paul: “I see you have a new girl.” Wesley: “Not a new one, thats’ just an old one repainted.” A Chink by the name of Ching Ling, Fell off a street car, bing-bing. The con turned his head, to the passengers he said— The car’s lost a washer, ding-ding. Earl. “I don’t think I should get zero on this exam.” Prof: “Correct, but that’s the lowest that I know of.” Stanley: (entering the asylum with at- tendant) “Is that clock right? ' Attendant: “Yes, quite right. Stanley: “Then what on earth is it do ing here?” Mr. Brown: “Your mouth is open.” Elba: “I know it, 1 opened it.” 55 ORANGE ANU BLACK How Can it be Possible ? ? ? A dumb man once picked up a wheel and spoke. A blind man once picked up a hammer and saw. Virgil: (on being introduced to adored one’s mother) “Pardon me, have we not met before? Your face seems so famil- iar.” Adored One’s Mother: “Yes, 1 am the woman who stood up for three whole miles in the street car the other morning, while you read the paper.” Miss Wegener was instructing class in English and calling on a small boy, named Lawson Woodring. “Lawson,” she said, “write on the board, Richard can ride the mule if he wants to.” “Now,” continued the teacher, when Lawson had finished writing, “Can you find a better form for this sentence?” “Yes, ma’am, I think I can,” was the prompt reply. “Richard can ride the mule if the mule wants him to.” He: (passionately) “Darling, 1 have a secret to whisper in your ear, where is it?” Virgil: “Don’t go in bathing after a big dinner.” Elba: “Why not?” Virgil: “Because you won’t find it there.” Eulalia: “Can you tell me how much water to a gallon flows over Niagara Falls? Fuzzy: “1 haven’t the slightest Idea. How much?” Eulalia: “Exactly four quarts.” Wesley R. (sophomore) measuring the Assembly room. Miss Blystone: “How many, Wesley?” Wesley: Gosh, 1 forgot to count them.” Hank (from Lyons): “1 didn’t know that you had horse races here.” Frank (from Metamora): That ain’t a horse race, that’s a funeral procession.” On a mule we find two legs—behind And two we find—before We stand behind Before we find What the two behind be for. Miss Wegener: “Wesley, give the prin- cipal parts of pugno.” Wesley (asks Elba): “What was the word ?” Elba: “Darned if I know.” Wesley: “Darnedifino, darnedifare, darnedifinavi darnedifinatus.” Miss Wegner: “What word are you giving the principal parts of?” Wesley: “Darnedifino.” Harry: “Meeting your best girl with another fellow is like eating roast beef.” Arden. “How’s that?” Harry: “Tough and hard to swallow.” How True A freshman went to Hades A few wise things to learn Old Satan sent him back again He was too GREEN to burn. Kathryn: “Did you hear me singing last night?” Elba: “Yes, 1 couldn’t get my window down.” Mr. Hudson: “Vacuum cools quicker than solids.” Arthur (waking up): “May I put the window down? My head is cold.” The Eternal Triangle Cassius led for a heart, Thelma for a diamond played, George L. came down with a club The sexton used the spade. Miss Gaudern: (in music class) “How would you beat it, Eulalia?” Eulalia: “Out the fire escape.” President Marion: (standing by table) “You’re supposed to address the chair.” Arden: “Nothing in it.” Notice If some of our jokes are rather thin And lacking in wit Remember that our reporters Found nothing funny but their neighbors.’ Mr. Brown: “Who succeeded Charles IV. in France?” Myrtle: “Oh, Henry.” Mr. Brown: “Which Henry?” Myrtle: “I forgot his Number.” 56 METAMORA HIGH SCHOOL For Sale—An unused American Lit.

N. KOELSCH, Proprietor qjhe High School graduate Is within a few months of financial independence. We mean this: a few months spent at the Tri-State University will not only qualify for first-class situation, but will also assure a situation. THE DEMAND at the Tri-State University for office assistants is such that our pupils are placed in situations immediately upon completion. The fact that the largest wholesale hardware firm in Toledo has now in its employ fourteen of our pupils, a National bank, seven; one of the largest real estate firms, fourteen, and so on, proves the popularity of Tri-State training. THE BEST costs no more and when spending time and money for a course why not permit it to be the best? Business is so extensive that the business man insists upon the most competent and will have no other, if such can be gotten. MALE TEACHERS constitute our faculty. The Tri-State has pro- gressed from year to year because its managers are progressive. If this were true of all schools, there, perhaps, would be no reason for investigation. ARE YOU INTERESTED, reader? If so, you should please pay the Tri-State a visit. We occupy the best location in Toledo; are in the center of the city and on a corner; uptown but free from noise, no street cars to confuse: in one of the finest buildings in the city; lighting and ventilating facilities unsurpassed: many more typewriters, calculators, billers, etc., than any other school has; school furniture the best and not equalled in this vicinity. All of this and much more may be observed by the visitor. Please call.

We also wish to thank the students who have helped us so wil lingly. It has been no easy task to put out this Annual and we are glad that it is finished. How- ever, we have enjoyed our work, and if, as you turn the pages of this Annual you are able in a sense to live again those happy days you spent in dear old M. H.
