To find a satisfactory solution is every man’s earnest and presistent quest. How others have solved the problem is often enlightening. Particularly do the records of those whose lives have been greatly useful to the world have much in them of help, especially when they began life with none of the aids considered necessary to achievement, yet have achieved. In your hands you hold the third volume of the “Meteor.” If in turning its pages you are stirred by that contagiously buoyant “something” called school spirit then we have achieved our purpose; yet if you are not, we really have not failed for we have done our best. desire Page two MET A MORA HIGH SCHOOL (Etf i$fr.

H. S.” was ready to set sail for a four year cruise in the great ocean of knowledge. The ship was to carry thirty-two passengers the first year. The captain for 1925 was Florence Tredway. Aside from one death, that of Nina Dennis, and the return of a few to shore who could not become accustomed to sailing on rough water, the year was a very successful one. In the year of 1926 the ship started on the second quarter of the journey. Frieda Wright assumed the duties of captain. During this journey we encountered some stormy w’eather which made it hard sailing. The number of deserters increased during 1926. As the ship started on its journey for 1927 Beryl Scheuer showed his ability as captain. Under his guidance and by the efforts of all the other members, the ship was guided through the year of 1927. The whistle has blown for the last quarter of our journey. The choice of captain being Percy Plummer. The course of the ship M. H. S.” during the last year was the hardest of all. Many difficulties and problems confronted the cap'ain. The ship is now preparing to anchor and we are planning to make a perfect landing on the beautiful shore of the land of Success.

When Freshmen we were always the best. As we’ve been put to many a test. We love to think of those honest days, Which we will remember always. Now as the second years begins to wane, And we will be separated once again, We think of the good times, aplenty When we were Sophomores, seven and twenty. The future beams so far ahead; And we think of the paths which we must tred, But still our thoughts go on and on To the unseen goal which must be won. Page twenty METAMORA HIGH SCHOOL Class mm I .s the senior class starts out on that great voyage called Adventure, “ they wish to leave their valuable posessions with the juniors. They lincerely trust that they will be well taken care of until they return. Percy Plummer is leaving his Rolls Royce to Harry Heldt, so that Harry can visit the Clark home more often. Winifred Gormley is giving Laurene Wotring lesson on how to play the “Alma Mater.” Clifford Fillinger, the “shiek” of ’29 bestows upon Kahle Sebring, his curly locks and rosy cheeks. Dormal Iffland and Paul Boroff give Glen Robinson and Vincent Klein permission to call upon their friends in Adrian. Opal Irwin and Edward Kahle leave the secre of “successful love making” to Gladys Whiteman and Norman Ries. Florence Tredway has consented to let Miles Crockett have her ambition for a year. She hopes that Miles will get all “A” grades in his senior year. Lillian Wotring has been instructing Alice Ford and Helen Langen- derfer, in an attempt to show them the main points of basketball. Harold Schmitz is leaving his ability in fancy dancing to Nina Strong and Verna Buck. Pauline Wotring bequeaths her charming manners and winning smiles which att ract admiring glances from the opposite sex to Bernice Ott. Ethel Kinnamon gives her “primping accessories to Vanessa Tompkins. During the last four years Kathryn Mohr has acquired much ability to argue. Wishing to leave his spirit in school she leaves it to Elfrieda Myers. Beryl Seheuer is often found admiring himself, and he gives this habit to Gladys Mohler. Harriet Thompson has had two honors given her, that of managing the class and grading papers for Mr. Spence. She in turn passes them on to Opal Minier. Maynard Klein gives his ability for “bluffing” the teacher to Thelma Snyder and Dale McKimmy. Milford Seheuer gives his great height to Rosalind Beisel. Harland Welch, “a chip off the old block,” leaves the Welch athletic ability to Wilson Drennan.

We started our battles with thirty strong soldiers but before the first seige was ended, three worthy members dropped from our ranks. At the end of the first year we had lost but also won many fierce struggles by which we benefitted greatly. The second year w’e began our battles with renewed vigor and courage. For this seige we had Thelma Snyder as Commander-in-Chief, as Secretayr of War, Isabelle Stanton and Esther Benfer took good care of our money. This year we chose Miss Jensen as our advisor and she has kindly and willingly helped us over the rough places, advising us as to what line of march to take. From the twenty-nine soldiers we started with, three left while we w-ere conquering Geometry and English.

Sarah ( lark acted as Commander-in-Chief, Laurene Wotring as Secretary of War, and Glen Robinson took care of our financial affairs. This year brings forth to us many new experiences. After days and nights of hard work and training we were victorious in a never to be forgotten struggle, namely, “Money Talks.” As the year is drawing to a close, we feel that our efforts have not been in vain and that we are slowly but supely defeating our great enemy, “Ignorance” and gaining our victory which is Knowledge.’ Page twenty-five THE METE OR npl]omorea First Row.—Clayton Hall, Leo Scheaer, Jacob Ries, Charles Smith, Wilford Brodbeck, William Simon, George Mobus, Howard Watson Second Row:—Norval Berry, Lucile Feeback, Pauline Bettinger, Rosella Tuttle, Delette Woodiing, Grace Crockett, Wilma Gunn, Kenneth Clark Third Row:—Florence Dodge, Virgiwin Rice, Rutli Nachtrieb, Virginia Feeback, Mary Miller, Ihla Ford, Lucile Dorcas £fophnmore (Claes Histnru :sr$.

Maxine Franklin kept all of the notes of our trip and Clayton Hall, the money to finance us. When we returned from Rome, we discovered three had dropped from our group. Tne next year we returned to our meeting place ready to start our second journey. Two of our party had not come back, but we had seven new members. We went to sunny California this year beginning our journey under the leadership of Maxine Franklin assisted by Ruth Nachtrieb. Florence Dodge was secretary and the money was intrusted to Ihla Ford. Soon our class twins left us and we then chose Grace Crockett as leader. Our guide on this trip was Mr. Barry. We have learned much in these two years, but only through working and trying have we done so. We have yet time to make two more journeys in our school life. We hope that they will be as successful and happy as our first two.

At oar first class meeting James Wotring was elected president, Richard Biehl, treasurer, and Margaret Ford, secretary. We chose for our class advisor, Mr. Barry. After two mon hs in school we received an invitation from the Seniors. This invitation required our presence at the annual Initiation party September 28th. We have lost one member of our class, Daisy Hill, and added one o her, Harold Barton. Under the leadership of our class officers, we plan to enter the sophomore year one step ahead tow’ards the goal of success.

The freshmen and sophomores played the first game in which the sopho- mores were winners by a six point majority. Much credit is due the fresh- men for their efforts because (hey were handicapped by the fact they had none of the regular players. The following game was played between the seniors and juniors, which resulted in a defeat for the juniors. The score being 13-10. The next game was played by the girls, the juniors and seniors. The juniors put up a fight but were unable to compete with the experienced players. The score was 23-40. The last game was a fight between the seniors and sophomores. Both teams were wanting to win the game very bad because it would mean the championship. The sophmores put up a stiff fight but were out-classed by the seniors. The result w-as a victory for the senior boys. The score was 26-14.

Mr. Barry proved a very efficient coach and the boys enjoyed this season’s training very much. The boys although losing more games than in previous season, accepted their fate with good sportsmanship. The Fulton County Class B Tournament was held at Delta, February 4, 1929. Metamora boys played the first game with Lyons and won by a score of 13 to 10. The next game our boys played was with Delta. They had the bad luck of losing this game by a score of 24 to 36. This ended the basketball season with the exception of the class tournament. T HIS basketball season was exciting and furnished much interest to the community. The team played fourteen games, winning five and losing nine. The boys practised three nights each week and they Page thirty-one THE METEOR Wow! What a team! These sixplayers (senior team) competed in the final game of the season—the class tournamenl with the juniors.. Four of them Gormley, Irwin, Thompson and Wotring were on the regular team. Tredway did not play this year but she did the seniors a good turn by playing in the tournament. Ford, who was a sub on the regular team, played on the senior team while McComb and Crowl played subs. A splendid game was played and enjoyed by all. The score was 18 to 42. This showed the skill and conquering of basketball by the seniors. The junior team consisted of Snyder, Strong, W’otring, Kahle, Buck and Key. They are good sports and took Ihe defeat with a will. They gave the seniors a good competitive game.

H. S. completed a very successful season, bringing home the County Trophy from Delta Tourney. Coach Barry made the practices very interesting. The team was handicapped by the fact that there were only ten players who came out to practice and Ihey were oblied to work with three players on each squad. Four of the letter players of this squad have had four years experience and are leaving M. H. S. this year. Harriet, our star forward, did her share in, “rolling them in.” Winifred, Lillian and Opal were the main-stays in defense and did their part in keeping the opponents from scoring. The two junior players on the squad were Thelma and Nina, these two held down forward positions very successfully. Vivian played defense position and was of great value to the team. When this picture was taken it was uncertain as to who were going to play. From the ranks of “freshies” we obtained, Nellie Key and Zelda Ford who were a great aid. Verna Buck w'as also a substitute on the victorious team.

Formerly the high school orchestra was conducted by Mr. Bolton. But owing to the fact that he was unable to complete his work here, Mr. Turnbull has kindly taken his place. New interest has been aroused by the purchase of many new selections among which are: Sonny Boy,” Sousa’s “Stars and Stripes Forever,” “On Wisconsin,” “Lilac Time,” “Old Comrades,” and others. The members of the orchestra have met every Thursday noon and have showed much interest in the work. We hope that in a short time more pupils will be interested in the aesthetic phase of life, which in time, will make it possble for us to have an orchestra capable of even greatet achievements.

This is always found to be true and, as the school is consideied one of the social centers, we all agree that music should be practised to some extent in this great place of knowledge. Miss Astrid Jensen was selected to instruct the pupils in this work. The Glee Club has given many beautiful operettas under the supervision of Miss Jensen. Last year the operetta selected was “Tulip Time.” This was an operetta that had as the background, scenes in Holland. It was very pretty and was enjoyed by all. This year the girls in the Glee Club were asked to write an operetta themselves. Many original plots are being planned using music suitable to the scenes. We all hope to see these operettas acted out by our own Glee Club in the future. Miss Jensen deserves much praise in her work and wre all appreciate her efforts.

College you are taughl practical harboring by a staff of barber experts who are most competent instructors. No books are used in this school. You must use tools and equipment. You must “Learn by Doing.” which is the only way to become experienced All phases of barber work are taught; theoretical and practical hair cutting hair bobbing, facial and scalp treatments, massageing, barber ethics and salesmanship, business management, neurology, myology, osteology, his- tology, dermatology and hygiene of the head and face, chemistry of tonics and face lotions. , Scientifically trained barbers are few. They are demanded every- where Why should that interest you ? Because professional bartering is one of the highest paid professions. Because the demand exceeds the supply It gives permanent employment. It is learned in such an amazing short time. And at Sayre’s the tuition is low. Professional Barbering is the Key to Profit You tried answering advertisements. You advertised for yourself andgot many unless answers. You were trading in the left-over market for workers. You read signs at employment agencies. You registered at the white-collar exchanges. Were you able to identify yourself with any promising opening?. Then you know the second-hand market for salaried men. Harold S. Sayre, the authority on modern barbenng, originator of one. two. and three point bobs that were the style from Hollywood to New York has a word to say to you. Dear Friend: This summer, I shall give my services to the training of the better barter. A high class commodity like yourself has to be sold. People always imagined that because of my knowledge of barber work that I have en- viable positions thrown at me. “Friend. I never got a position with out going and asking for it.” As a salesman you cannot call, saying, “Mr. Prospect. I want to sell vou some goods.” He might ask. “What kind of goods. Will you say. “Oh. anv kind of goods. What do you porter?” No, you must make the proposal. You must have he thing to sell- The most pathetic thing in the business w-orld is the “Situation Wanted” column of adver isments bv men with no training. Whereas the “Help Wanted” columns teem with advertisements for specialists to serve in important capacities! Take this summer training with me, I shall make a specialist of you. Don’t delay to let me hear from vou. I know we shall both be pleased with the relationship. Let me add, that this college has no superior in any respec1 in the country. I thank you.

Beyond all reason of doubt the greatest lesson you have had in school has been the lesson of WORK, for nothing is accomplished without it- If you have labored earnestly during your school life you have received just compensation. On the other hand if you have just skipped along you have little to your credit. From now on you will face the realities of life and your success will depend on how well you have learned to work. Always remember that: Individual interest in what you arc working at insures your pay, increases your income, and invites promotion.
