Jr1152::3f In correlation with the school's new moniker, the class of 1933 has chosen the Viking as the theme of this year's Mirus. The motif voice of Viking denotes strength, purity, and freedom. We have attempted to foster and uphold these high ideals and standards, trusting that they may be perpetuated. School days are happy days filled With countless incidents and events which further our develop- ment or shape our destinies. We are leaving this harbor of guidance and launching our ship upon the sea of life. May We courageously set forth like the Vikings of old. However, there are memories that we would not forget. It is the pur- pose of this annual to preserve these memories from the scourge of time and offer a portrait of our high school life. We thank all those who have contributed to the success of this publication. They have shown their interest in Miamisburg High School and the welfare of its students. We hope that this edition of The Mirus will better acquaint you with the progress our school is making and the achievements it has attained. fr q x 'll For the past four years, Miss Jessie M. Smith has suc- cessfully sponsored the Class of 1933 in all its ventures, Her cheerful, helpful Way has been an inspiration. Although we have often tried ,her temper and forbearance, she has, by ex- ample, as well as by precept, 'taught us the advantages of kindness. She has been a true friend of the student, sympa- thizin g with individualities and making tasks pleasant. In past life, whei we shall recall our high school days, We will not forget her. In recognition of her loy- al service, and in appreciation of her counsel as a teacher, we dedicate this volume of our yearbook, The Mirus. Miss Smith graduated from Lewisburg High School and continued her education at Baker Univer sity She graduated from lvlianzi University in the spring of 19 4 With the degree of Bachelar of Science In the fall of the same year she accepted a position to teach 1nM1am1sburg High School. Making her residence in Dayton, she has a host of friends and acquaintainces there and in this commu- nity. Her favorite subject in teaching is Latin al- though she is equally as versatile in Algebra, Eng- lish, and Geography. In her duty to her pupils she has been unfailing and always brings to the class- room a personal interest.

Superintendent of Schools Mr. Bear became affliated with Miamisburg Public Schools in 1907, the same year in which the Auditorium School was completed. During his super- intendentcy of twenty-six years, two buildings have been erected and the system centralized to include the rural pupils of the township. The progress,de- Velopment, and accomplishments that our schools have made under the direction of Mr. Bear is self- evident. They offer a broadening education that is well administered and marked by high standard. VVe fully appreciated our superintendent Mr. Bear and duly esteem the interest he has taken in Miamisburg Public Scools and the welfare of the students. WILBUR C. NEFF Miami University A. B. Ohio State M. A. Principal, High School After two terms of teaching in the High School, Mr. Neff was promoted to the Office of Principal, which position he has capably held for the past five years. He has fostered in the High School a Well- rounded scholastic, social, and athletic program. Inter-scholastic competition in all fields has received his keen interest for he has kept alive friendly rival- ry between Miamisburg and the other schools of the vicinity. As a disciplinarian, he has given the students their responsibilities and only imposed such regulations as would insure the liberties of the majority. ELLA G. CARR Ohio Wesleyan A. B.

As for basketball, there was Bill Hiehle, Dick Kelly, Jim Bergman, Fred Scheu, Cornelius Senseman, who played on the Reserve and Varsity teams. In November the class put on an assembly with Thanksgiving as a theme. A play, Billy's Commgu, proved to be a surprise to the audience. And then in December came the Christmas party. The gym was a veritable bower of cedar, and the Christmas party, all lighted with little lights, made you forget that you were dancing in the same place they played basket ball. The Junior Literary in January was quite different from any before. The whole program took place in a cab- aret, orchestra, dancing, and every thing that goes with it. The Mirus On January 18, Charles E. Lofgren, personal aid to Admiral Byrd on his trip to the South Pole, spoke to the students in the afternoon. Mr. Lofgren also had with him a dog which had been born in Little America. The most exciting and most important undertaking of the Juniors, to them at least, was the Junior play on March 17. The play was The Eighteen Carat Boob . It was one laugh right after another. The cast was Betty Hieber, James Huber, Virginia Hoffman, Eugene Woods, Frances MacDonald, Lawrence Lewis, Nelson Simpson, Virgene Schoenberger, Juanita Kline, Ellsworth Kimmel, and William Schneider. John Flanagan and Dolores Schreiber are the scholastic representatives of the Junior class. They both have four A averages for the frist semester. Ellsworth Kimmel, Frances MacDonald, and Cornelius Senseman have three A averages. The class officers were 1 President, Fred Scheu, Vice- president, Cornelius Senseman, and Secretary-Treasurer, Carroll Brough. Class advisors were Miss Carr, Mr.Kline, and Mr.Parman. tLUenty'SeU8n .J The MlI'11S 'F , ,,----.. -pawxvxwl The Sophomores of 1932-33, after gaining fame as Fresh- man, have further extended their fame this year by their lit- erary, athletic, social, and scholastic achievements. As for the athletic achievements, during the football season five Sophs, John Berger, Linus Heiser, Walter Miller, Jacob Baker, and Henry Schneider succeeded in crashing in- to a few of the varsity games. We are pinning our hopes on these up-and-coming gridders to bring home the football lau- rels in the two remaining years of their high school careers. On the hardwood a few boys, Bill Neibel, Karl Miller,and Paul Herman made the squad. Although they did not get to play in the varsity games, they played splendidly in the re- serve games, and as in football, they will be winning the games for Miamisburg High School in a year or so. The first and most successful of the literary achieve- ments of the year was that unique and entertaining Literary program staged on January 24th. It was quite cleverly ad- vertised by a part of the cast going to different rooms and letting us hear little snatches of what was to come in the program so we would see the rest. Three plays, along with other surprise features, were interestingly woven together into one plot. Under the direction of Miss Gebhart, Miss Kimmel, and Mr. Millard this program was put over in great style. twenty-eight - ,fu nn The Mirus The Sophomore Assembly was a sequel or continuation of the Literary. Miss Frances Beckner was hostess on Ye Merrie Sophomore which was United States bound. Ruby Long and Laura Clark displayed their ability as tap dancers and Senator Charles Kuhn gave a talk on a current subject. Everyone enjoyed the Sailors Chorus' singing. Then came that social success, the Valentine party. The dance melodies were furnished by Clem Hoot Starner and his Five Owls. Those who did not dance entertained them- selves with jig-saw puzzles. Although Sophomores known to be Wise fools, the fool might well be omitted in the case of many Sophomores. Head- ing this list are Janet Rosnagle and Richard Fulton. Who would dare call one a fool who invariably displays five A's on his card every six weeks? Then there are those who made the other honor rolls: Jacob Baker, Mary Beth Cade, Anna Denny, and Billy Neibel made four A's, and Helen Borden, Jeannette Hetzel, Mildred Kehrle, Doris Zimmerman and Louise Zimmei man made three A's. Perhaps this class was successful because of its execu- tive and advisory body. Virginia Shank was the president, Linus Heiser, the vice-president, and Bill Weaver, the secre- tary-treasurer. The advisors were Mr. Millard, Miss Kimmel and Miss Gebhart. twenty-nine The Mirus FRESHMAN HISTORY When September 19 finally rolled around again, about one hundred and twenty-five boys and girls suddenly alter- ed from the very insignificant state of being eighth-graders to the very grown-up and satisfying state of being Freshies. What being Freshmen will do for some people! And even if some ofthe Sophomores did try, with all the superiority of their being Sophs, to deflate the rather puffed-up feeling of some of the Freshies, they remained for the most part un- daunted, and came through the year with colors flying. 'Fake for instance, that bunch of fellows that compro- mised the Freshman football team. Besides playing inter- scholastic games, they olfered stiff opposition to the varsi- ty team in scrimmages. Bill Beckner, Bob Rice, Douglas Weaver, Lloyd Wertz, Bud Belleman, Karl Wenzel, and Jim Weaver vs ere the most important of the members. Certainly Miarnisburg High School would be lacking some- thing without a Weaver athlete and the Freshman are rich in that they have two of them. Freshman were well represented on the basketball teama this season too. Among the Freshman going out for basketball were Doug Weaver, Jim Weaver, Bob Rice, Bill Beckner, and Howard DePew. We are expecting them to contribute some good material to the varsity team in the near future. thirty-one Qs The Mirus 'f , ATI' The Freshman Literary was an interesting arrange- ment of some modern versions of older plays studied in their English classes. The most important feature was one of The Lady of the Lake. The modern adaptation was written by Bobby Munger, Martha Bell, and Bonna Lee Rabold. On March 1, Virginia Null was enrolled in the Fresh- man class, increasing their number to one hundred and twenty-six. Virginia came from Monroe, Ohio, and is pursuing the curriculum of the general course. The list ol Freshman honor students is the second largest ofthe school. In that the Juniors and Seniors could well have taken them as their example. Although there was only one, Bobby Munger, who ranked in the first honor roll with four A's, there were five who ianked in the second honor roll with three A's. These were Paul Bashford, Corrine Brown, Scott Lieter, Ellen Wolff, and Ruth Woolery. The officers of the class of '36 were Douglas Weaver, President, Jim Weaver, vice-president, and Bill Beckner, Secretary-Treasurer. The class advisors this year were Mr. Young, Miss Silberman, and Miss Christy. thirty-two V50 . . :lm ,fx Q L .f ..,. :f . wen QL 411:-.1 tkrffifme , . vw gr cyan? Mg' X-I bw?

Fifteen percent of the 25 precent is chosen. This year five girls: Virginia Smith, Florence Mae Belleman, Melda Johnson, Virginia Neibel, and Dorothy Eswein, with four boys: Charles Swope, James Kinderdine, Craig Borden, and Oscar Beachler, were awarded the honor. Each member received a gold insignia of the Society which depicts the torch of knowledge, lighting the initial letters of the above four points. All of these students have majored in mathematics, science, foreign language, or commercial subjects. Many activities are represented by this group of students such as athletics, literary, commercial, club work, and regular school work. The members chosen are to be commended for their co- operation, service, talent, and application. thirty-s ix The MiI'l1S LE CERCLE FRANCAIS Most clubs were abolished this year, but the members of Le Cercle Francais wished to keep up the organization. They decided to meet sur le second mardi soir de chaque mois apres supper. The following members were elected to carry on the functions de le cercle:Le President, Monsieur Charles Swopeg Le Vice President, Monsieur Maurice Gebhartg Le Secretaire, Mademoiselle Virginia Neibelg and Le Tresorier, Mademoi- selle Virginia Smith. Each mee. ing was held at the little cabin, and the first meeting was devoted to the initiation of new members. A- mong those who were put under the terrible torture which must be gone through to become a member ofthe club were Messieurs George Kuhn, Sam Cohen, Lawrence Lewis, Harry Dessain, William Schneider, Thomas Koeppel, Oscar Beach- ler, and Mademoiselles Ferry Shaffer, Melda Johnson, and Marian Hughes. At all the meetings le president parle en francais et tous les minutes are kept en francais, and many of the games are played dans cette langue, aussi. Refreshments are always served Liter the gamess. Miss Carr has keen an able advisor and has helped the members planning interesting meeting.

Unlike former years,the gen- eral program was planned for the year in advance. This made it possible to have more variety of helpful programs and to bring in outside speakers. Among the various services done by the members of the club around the school may be mentioned: decorating goal posts at football games, ushering at basketball games, selling candy. issuing footl all and basketball programs, and taking a part in the temperance program. In this small space it would be useless to attempt to name all the benefits that the members receive from the club. During the course of the year we had an outdoor meet- ing with the Girl Reserves, enjoyed a swim at the Y. M. C. A., sponsored a Parent-Son llanquet to bring about better co- operation, held several joint meetings with the Girl Reserves, sponsored an All-County Hi-Y Meeting at the Dayton Y. M. C. A., and installed the officers of the newly formed club at Northridge High School, Dayton. On the whole, the club has progressed quite a bit With- in the last year. We were enabled to have beneficial meetings by having open discussion on interesting topics. We endeav- ered to extend goodwill and to promote better relationship with neighboring Hi-Y clubs. Charles Swope thirty-nine .. Jn The Mirus Q- , F' . K' -- w. - W . GIRL RESERVES Through the guidance of our sponser, Miss Gebhart and our president, Dorothy Eswein, we were able to enjoy amost successful year. In November about twenty girls were brought into the club with the usual recognition service and initiation. Our theme for the year was Ourselves . At each meet- ing we had a speaker, who led a discussion on some problem which confronts us in every day life. One of the most inter- esting meetings was held jointly with the Hi-Y club. During the year we were kept busy selling candy, hot- dogs, etc. at the football and basketball games. The most ar- tistic girls were given a chance to show their ability in the making of silhouettes, which were sold at a reasonable price. Several of us helped present Grandmother's Scrap Bag be- fore a capacity house. The playlet was given for the benefit of the Y. W. C. A. We were very happy to be able to give the little child- ren of the less fortunate a Christmas Party. Old Santa peep- ed in on them and left toys, candy, popcorn, and apples. Many county conventions and play days took the time of the girls, and a busy year ended with the Mother and Daughter Banquet and the election of officers.

The paper was published often enough however to keep the students in- formed of what was happening around the school. Only one senior was a member of the staff this year, that being Jane Carroll, the feature editor. Eight juniors were honored by membership upon the staff. The club editi- ing was divided among Bettie Hieber, Ferry Schaffer, and Margaret Carey. Richard Staubus, Roland Simmons, and Ellsworth Kimmel wrote the sport news. Class news was taken care of by Janet Bussard and Hazel Tomlin. Reporters were Bud Belleman, Bill Beckner, Jimmy Weaver, who are freshmen, and Anna Denny, a sophomore. The commercial department should be commended for its work in typing and publishing the paper. forty-two The Mi1'l1S Us Y' BAND At first it seemed that the band couldnlt go on after losing about six members from last year's graduating class, but with much hard work Mr. Parman was able to have a band that represented M. H. S. very creditably. The band was smaller than it has been in former years. Interest was taken by the students, causing the band to grow. Mr Parman sees a great band in the future for Miamisburg High School. He now has about forty-five of the younger boys and girls taking lessons on band instruments. By the time they have reached high school age, they will be able to play well in the big,' band. The band, led by the new drum major, Virginia Shank, played at all home football games and at Xenia and Troy. Its music was also enjoyed at the Farmer's Institute, Sen- ior Play, and pep meetings. Out of the organization, Mr. Parmen organized a Ger- man Band consisting of Haward Hammon, playing the tuba, Paul Starkey the cornet, Allan Dunker and Warner Forbes the clarinets, and Mr.Parmen trombonist. This band played at the basketball games and was a great treat to the audi- ence. forty-three 0 The Mirus s . E, THE SPRING FESTIVAL A PROGRAM PRESENTED BY THE MUSIC DEPARTMENT 1.

Music at the baccalaureate service was furnished by this club and was appreciated by the audience. On many programs such as the literary programs, assem- blies, luncheons, and others the duo composed of Marie Lively and Virginia Early was featured.

Coach Horace English was forced to play a green team against a schedule of unusually formidable opponents. Consequently consecutive games were lost to West Carrollton and Fairmont by close scores. There a surprise victory was turned in over a strong Roosevelt team, and this was followed by another win over Franklin. In the first Miami Valley League game Troy's jinx was present and the Vikings were defeated in the last few min- utes of play, after a gruelling contest. The team fared no better in the hands of Xenia, Sidney, Piqua, and was forced to accept the small end of the score in each game. How- ever, in the last two games the Vikings showed a complete reversal of form by winning over a highly touted Green- ville team and a scrappy Fairview eleven to make a total of four wins and six defeats. fifty -J The Mirus 2 HL ri BASKETBALL This year Miamisburg was presented with its first basketball championship since the formation of the Miami Valley League. The honors were divided with Fairview as co-champions, but since Fairview was decisively beaten by the Vikings, the moral championship belongs to Miamisburg. Coach Horace English was fortunate enough to have a veter- an team returning, and consequently one-sided victories were turned in over Otterbein Home and Dayton Co-op. A strong Roosevelt five handed the Vikings their first defeat, but wins were turned in over McGuffey, Alumni, and Troy.Miamis- burg next lost a close game to Fairmont, but again atoned by victories over Piqua, Kiser, Sidney, and Middletown. An- other defeat was administered by Xenia, this being the only Miami Valley League game that was lost. Franklin, West Carrolton, Farmersville,and Oakwood were conquered in the order named, thus giving the Vikings the splendid record of fifteen wins and three losses. fifty-one The Mirus LETTER WINNERS Kinderdine Miamisburg High School needs more men of the same calibre as Kindy . His size, speed, defen- sive abilitv, and pass-snagging will be missed on the gridiron. In basketball, Jim built up an enviable reputa- tion as a defensive player. The fact that he was unani- mously chosen All-Miami Valley guard by the coaches, proves his worth. In baseball his curving slants from the box muddled many an opposing batsman. Jim is a mem- ber of the National Athletic Scholorship Society. He is truly an athelete, a scholor and a gentleman Gebhart Gep,' was a really great football player. His deffensive playing was above reproach and his offen- sive work struck terror into the hearts of his opponents. His position will be hard to fill when the 1933 gridiron season rolls around. In baseball Gep patrolled the outer-gardens shagging flies like a professional. His mem- bership in the National Athletic Scholarship Society stamps him as a man of merit. Parramore Carl's performance on the basketball court of M.H.S. shows that he has the ability of a real bas- ketball artist. He was quick and certain on the defense and possessed a dead eye on a set shot. Carl per- formed around the hot corner in baseball and came up out of the dirt with many a hard chance. fifty-two The Mirus Borden Shorty's height was a decided asset to Miamis. burg in both football and basketball. He received honorable mention in the Miami Valley League for his basketball ability. In football, his specialty was catching forward passes. Craig is a member of the National Athletic Scholarship Society. Wolpers Hass is a two letter man in basketball, and is a member of Miamisburg's champion Miami Valley League team. He played a flashy floor game and could be depended upon at all times. Wolpers belongs to the N. A. S. S. DiMatteo Johnny was the speed demon of Miamisburg's backfield. His small size was offset by his courage and toughness. In baseball, John scooped up grounders around second base. He is a member of the N. A. S. S. Kuhn George is a mighty fine basketball player and proved his worth on more than one occasion. He will be sadly missed next year. He is a member of the N. A. S. S. Monjar A mighty midget of the basketball court was Bobby. He plugged the gap at forward, made his presence known to the opposing player. He is a member of the Na- ional Athletic Scholarship Society Wheeler Don climaxed his high school football career by being chosen All--Miami-Valley-League guard. He was consistent, steady, and dependable. His shoes will be hard to fill next year. Dutcher Willie was a good football player. His ball carrying left little to be desired. The other members of the backfield can attest that he was an excellent blocker. Willie also was a member of the National Athletic Scholarship So. ciety. fifty-three The Ml1'L1S Hettinger Don was a big, strong man who proved he could take 'em, in his first year of competition. If he had the benefit of previous experience, he probably would have been unstopable. Freshner Bill was a stalwart on the line of M iamisburg's football team for two years. Kelly Dick is a valuable man to Miamisburg High School. He is a three letter man in both football and basketball. He was chosen All Miami Valley League forward in basketball this year. Schneider Bill is a veteran tackle who should make a val- uable man for next yearis team. Lewis A fine center who should be of great help to the 1933 football team. Whietsel Lakie played a good game at guard in football. He will be missed next year. Scheu Fred was a valuable man in both football and basketball. Brough Great things are expected from Googy during the ensuing football season. Hiehle Bill has been a splendid basketball player for two years. Great things are expected from him in the future. Ball Walter is one of the best flankmen ever developed at Miamisburg High chool. He should be a tower of strength on the 1933 squad. Bergman Jim is a classy little infielder. He won his let- ter in baseball. Berger John won his letter playing at the end position on the football team. He has two more years of competi- tion.

Now the charm's your own. sixty-four Q The Mirus SENIOR AFFAIRS The Seniors succeeded in breaking the ice by putting over the first party of the year October 29, 1932. This party succeeded in being somewhat of a novelty, as it took the form of a Leap Year Party. This meant that the girl asked for the date, bought the tickets, furnished the transportation and paid for any after indulgences. The old saying, Leave it to a Woman seemed very appropriate, for some of the boys who had been too bashful to ask for a date themselves were there, and were there with girls! The usual entertainment was provided for those not dancing while the rest danced to the captivating music of Clem Starner's Orchestra. The first Literary Program of the year was given Dec- ember 2, 1932,by the Seniors when they entertained the pub- lic with their Radio Audition, the dialogue of which was writ- ten by Craig Borden. This proved quite a novel way of dis- playing some of the talent of their class. There was a monologue, a dance, some accordian sel- ections, a trumpet trio, and a duet by the Seniors own song- birds, H. M. Lively and Mr. Monjar. For the more serious side of the program, there were several interesting talks. The program was closed with the play, A Ghost Story , in which Norman Wagner and Louise Kessen had the leading roles. The custom of giving an assembly was renewed Oct- ober 26, 1932, by the Seniors, when they entertained the rest of the school with their Darnum and Daily Circus . The usual num her of interesting side- show freaks were shown. Sorr e of these were the Slimese Twins, Half Man, Half Beast, the Fat Man, the Fat Woman, the Knife - Eater, and many others too numerous to mention. In addition to the circus there were several short talk musical selectior s, 2 nd a re adir g given by different members of the class. sixty-five The Mirus TWENTY YEARS FROM NOW Ruby Albright Will be raising peanuts.

Dear Graduate, Now that you are leaving good old Alma Mater, you are beginning to peer eagerly into the future. Five, ten years from now, life will become a business, living an occupation, and you will have made your mark in the world. Then recollections of school friendships and school memories will begin to crowd upon you. In those happy moments of retrospection, you will go to a place of keeping for treasured pieces, and bring forth a bit of verse, a frag- ment of an old school song, your class picture. Then, and only then, Will you realize how those priceless possessions hold forever captive the joyous spirit of those never- to- be- forgotten school days of Life's morning. And, my dear graduate, it is my only wish that to those mementos, you add just one fleet- ing thought of your ever loyal and constant friend.
