By her diligent 'Work she generally accomplishes what she undertakes and thereby deserves a place among the real students o M. H. S. . CHARLES DEISS nike What we are we owe to him. All credit is due to the man who ,guided the Senior Class through its four years at M. H. S. We appreciate what Dike has done for us both in athletics and as class president and wish him the fullest amount of success that can come to any one. RUTH ELEANOR COWGILL Ruthie ' Associate editor of the Op- timlst, secretary of the class, president ofrthe Girls' Hi-Y Club, a member of the Mid- dletonian Staff, and one of the best liked students of M. H. S. some pedi- gree? Words fail us. Twcn ty ROBERT G. SUTPHIN ..Bob,, Here is the K'Jack of all trades of M. H. S. He is interested in athletics, in his studies, in debating and all other high school activitiesg and besides he is the effi- cient business manager of the Middletonian. If you can't find him at school, call the Y, Bob is an all-round high-school student. is 23. is QW! 15311 .., M., X'r:'Nva-ms. -www::wi'm 1::f1!5Z2!11!llN LEWIS S. TROWBRIDGE LOUISE STRODTBECK PAUL FREDERICK WEBER MARJORIE L. REEVES sgLewyas It is rumored that Lewis is a confirmed woman hater. That may be for he can al- ways be found at the Wise Clothing Shop, Of course he never sees any girls there. Cheer up girls, some day he will change his mind. Strody ' Louise has real ability and can accomplish a lot when she tries. But she doesn't believe in wasting too much time in trying. There are other things more important. They say she is much in- terested in Ohio State. Nuff sed. upetev If you like the Optimist, which of course you do, just tell Paul so, for he did a lot toward making it what it is, associate editor, you know. He has made his mark in other things too, especially as a real gentleman. That's enough to say about any- body. Twenty-one Marjie Here she is, sweet temp- ered, lovable and pretty. We don't believe she was ever angry, no it isn't possibleg but we will ask H-ln to be sureg she ought to know. She's a hard worker, too, which insures her suc- cess. K ,M L , ' .' .,,'f Pi wr--1.2.

PALM'ER CLINTON STEED KATHERINE GERAN DONALD DOTY ilwini J Hclintw HKautie7! l4D0nIy Venit, vidit, vicit - she came, she saw, she conquer- ed everything in M. H. S. She is the student who leads the way. But don't consider her a grind, she is an all- round person, ready to un- dertake anything that comes along. And we gazed and gazed and still the wonder grew That one small head held all she knew. You know the minute that Clint speaks that he hasn't always be a Buckeye. That wonderful soft drawl of his never originated in Middle- town. His smile alone will get him what he wants, with- out any help from the rest of his good qualities which are too numerous to mention. Coddy and Louise are al- most inseparable. This al- most was absolutely neces- sary because we hear it said and from good authority too, that there is a young man in the case. Report further has it that his name is Earl. Well we don't blame him, we like her, too. Twenty-two Three cheers for the team, let's gol' Who is mak- ing all that noise? Yes, it's Don, but of course he has to keep up his reputation as cheer-leader in Middletown High School. He is very pop- ular with the students be- cause of the class time he consumes by his numerous questions, petty flourishes, and verbal plays. 4 la CHAS. R. GREATHOUSE E6Dick!! Dick-Behold the star of '21, Dick's the man that put the F in football this year. His good work on the team has put it on the map. The class of '21 looks for big things from him. Either a clothing store or a peanut stand, sure. Try your best, to be a credit to M. H. S., old man. MARJORIE B. SETTY sszipn Marjorie is seldom seen without Elma and vice versa. Sufficient to say they are chums. Ask Margie what her favorite study is and she will promptly reply American History. And library refer- ences, she positively dotes on them. PAUL TOBIN Gerry First in peace, first in war, and first in the hearts of his country-women. - Gosh, what would '21 have done without him? The bas- ketball team elected him captain because they wanted some one who could make a speech in chapel. His record in football and basketball has helped to make him one of the most popular of the Sen- iors. Twenty-three GERALDINE SOLOMON .fGerry,, Here is one of the wise owls of M. H. S. Although she does not let her wiseness bore other people in the least. No, indeed! And as for Art- why she put the A in Art! But in history, oh my, what convincing answers and an- imated responses distinguish herl They baffle Solomon. K fe - ,il -tt um 1-mx'zxf'xe:m1:.zfn:lilii . my , n, xv , ,V , . .A .Y ..-, MABELLE MITCHELL RONALD BOYER HELEN C. REINER EDVVARD LAMB .fpepu .Tatu ..Katy,, fmambyy, Rah! Rah! Mabelle. She is our champion cheer-leader and booster of all athletics. In the four years of her high school career Mabelle has done her best to make ath- letics go over the top. If you Want to see anyone display real pep just watch Mabellc at any game. She's got the real stuff. Take a look at the big man of '21. Fat is a general fav- orite in M. H. S., partly be- cause of his splendid record as a football player, partly because of his reputation as a debater and mostly be- cause he is so good-natured. Fat promises to be back to root at the Hamilton game next year so we are sure of winning. Helen is about the best natured girl around M. H. S. She is always smiling and never grumbles even on the bluest Monday. She is noted for the optimistic view she takes of all her studies. If you can't get your mathe- matics just go to Helen for aid. She is the kind of a per- son everybody wants for their friend. Twenty-four Never idle a moment - but all the time. The only thing that Lamby has a lot of, is time and he squanders most of that. Anyway he can play tennis. And wasn't he one of the Highlanders that met the Freshies? l 4 'fl FLOYD LOCKARD f'L0ek', Lock's the wit of the Sen- ior Class. His wise words and witty sayings are quoted by everyone. He's going to be a druggist and of course a druggist has to be cheerful when he hands out bitter medicine. For this reason we prophecy success for him, ANNA OPAL JACKSON WALTER, SMITH ELEANOR E. MOREN uAndy,, . Opal is another of the typists of M. H. S., who in- tends to become a first class stenographer. She seems rather quiet in school, but that isnlt a good place to judge, just meet her outside and she'll show you what a good time means. Smithie Well,liere is Walter. He has a .perpetual grin, and a gig- gle that is widely known, as it breaks forth in some of the most unheard-of places. Nothing is slow when he is around, and if it were not for some of his side remarks some of the classes would be as dead as -Caesar. Twenty-five cspatn Eleanor's greatest ambi- tion is to be a basketball star. Judging by her quiet voice and sweet ways you would never believe she is a regular whirlwind on the basketball floor. She is just as good in everything else, too. If faithfulness brings success there is not need Wishing that she will suc- ceed. She'll do it anyway. ' -ifiiifiP'lfLif1f?LFis,ffiiJlWi5iI ESTHER BERNICE SELBY csESu Click, click, click! You should just see Eshter typ- ing. You know at the very first glance that she accom- plishes the thing she starts out to do. And those curls and dimples, too! What an asset to a good stenographer. NORWOOD CLARK Clarky Ah! at last we come to the celebrated Latin shark! Clarky is noted far and wide for this, his accomplishment. We don't know much more about him, for Norwood does not talk much about himself, nor about anything else for that matter. ' VENITA RUTH ANDRESON Nita Just to look at her one would know what she is go- ing to be. Neat, trim and with that rather determined look about her wouldn't you just guess that she is going to make a first class busi- ness woman? Well. some day we'll be saying, Yes, she got her start in old M. H. S. Twenty-six HERBERT G LYNN SHU LTZ Herb Behold! Here is the nois- iest UD boy in the Senior Class. For about the only time we hear from Herb is when he is called on for a recitation. As far as the racket is concerned, most of the teachers wish there were more like him. so A , x ' M, i,.l.nL ALVIN WILSON mswy' Call six for it and you'll more than likely get Alvin. Get him to mix you one of those specials that he's fam- ous for. One reason why the store is so popular is the line that Alvin hands to the customers. JOSEPHINE LATOURET FE 46.1097 Pretty? We think so- and we are not the only oncs either. Can she play the pi- ano? You bet. When it comes to Jazz, she's right there and besides she's official pianist for all chapel exercises and school picture shows. ROBERT A. ASHWORTH f-Bow Can he be dignified? Oh yes, indeed. in spite of the fact that his hair is rather --well say unruly. Just drop around to Thistlewaite's. He is a first class salesman all right. Twenty-seven EMMA LOIS EVERHART Emmy Lou Germantctvwn flost one of her fair students when Em- my Lou carne to M. H. S. this year. Lois and her Ford are inseparable, therefore it now adorns the school yard al- most every day. The Ford has one fault, it must be cranked. We know that's the reason Lois never drives alone.

SHIRM Gert,' Here is another reason why the commercial department of Middletown High School is praised so much. If you Want any typevvriting done just right take it to Gertrude. We know that she is going to make herself indispensa- ble to some business man in the future. JACOB FINE Jacob Here's a specimen of the business men of the class of 1921. Outside of school Jacob spends most of his time at the Rachet Store and Dame Rumor and some others have it that he just about man- ages the whole concern. Let's wish him success in his bus- iness career. MARGARET RICHARDSON sapeggyv, Peggy has something to say on whatever topic of conversation is introduced. A favorite theme on which she can discourse at any length is boys. The Rostrum from which she discusses the fam- ous subject most often is the cloak room off the lower hall, If you don't believe that speeches are convincing' just drop around some morning about eigth o'clock. Twenty-eight FRED CRAMER Sfsuda Bud's a good example of a lot in a small package. He looks dignified but that's just a pose for his height. It was he who persuaded you to dig deep down in your pocket and to part with that hard-earned dollar and a half. You'll have to forgive him for that though, since he was circulation manager of the Optimist. Xe 'i A i, . A. -f., x'1'----i1.t.,.....w..t.., . Q.,.,... .. ,... Z- x1 4:'.s.3lVeiifllli' Iflfillii-i HOWVARD MARTS llMartY9 Howard is a new man in M. H. S., this year, but he has quickly made a name for himself by his frequent out- bursts of oratory in Chemis- try. A complex formula is all that ig needed to start him off. We're glad he came. Chemistry would be awfully dull without him. GEN EVA L. GOODMAN Nevie Here's an A-1 example of a chatterbox, one of the best specimens we have in the class of '21. Oh yes, she ,probably learned it in public speaking, and of course no knowledge is useful unless it is put into practice. Her tal- ent is useful in making friends, however. She and Miss Locke are real ones. RUSSEL WEATHERWAX asRuSn Rus is going to be a bank- er or at least he's headed in that direction. He's absolute- ly necessary to the prosper- ity of the Oglesby and Bar- nitz Bank, which probably ac- counts for the preoccupied air he usually has, or maybe he is merely thinking f'?J Twenty-nine MINNIE DAVISON Minn Min is the one phono- graph that you can't stop. The only time she'll stop talking is when he's talking. The only thing we wonder at is that she does not run out of subject matter. Success will surely crown her efforts in Public Speaking.

That's the reason he is so good-na- tured and get on so well with everybody. The line of the least resistance is the one for him. Well, we don't blame him much. MILDRED MARIE KREBS c:Milsx Here is one of our song- sters. She is one of the main props of the soprano section of the Glee Club and without her, well we hate to think of what would happen. If you never heard her sing then youlve missed something. We wish there were more like her in M. H. S. 'l' hi rty REBECCA L. SANDERS Becky,' Becky is one of our bas- ketball stars. She is an old standby of our class on the team. She has played all four years and in that time has brought much credit to M. H. S. These are the reasons why she was elected captain of the girls' teamg and ex- perience since has warranted the choice. VEDA E. OFENFHAUER :svn Veda and Minnie are the Daman and Pythias of the Class. Their names Senior may go down into history as such. We don't see how Mr. Miller ebuild Shave 'been so cruel as to keep them apart several periods in the morn- ing. Maybe that's the reason she seldom gets to school until the tardy bell rings. l.-1. offer-- waiw' ith- -x ,xg it .Q QAWQ9-4-i4.an:k. ,,.. ,.

Peggy likes Scout work and thatfs the reason she itwas made lieutenant in February. Have-n't you seen her? Dark hair, dark eyes and always looking sweet. If you want to take a hike just call on Peggy and you will have a walk. Minnie is around the high school almost every day. She must get inspiration from the atmosphere of learning which prevades the study hall in the afternoons for we all know what kind of grades she gets. The honor roll wouldn't look natural with- out her name. We do not worry about her future for everything she undertakes is well done. Here is our blonde. She doesn't come as near scrap- ing the sky as her cousin of '20, but we believe she's up in everything else, at least she ig reported to be a very good office girl. She is al- ways on hand at our athletic games too, you can count on Brinky for the side line at every game. All work and lots of play is her motto. Thirly-one Grimesy is another man who goes out for athletics, both football and basketball. When he isn't practicing either of these he drives a jitney bus and when you can't find him at any of these you might look at Helen's. ii sem.:.m:f'1U:f5nffi1.'.i1I9l' - ,1.a.aq... ..

He starred in Physics and he knows just Ueverythingn about electricity. That's the reason he works for the Gas and Electric Company. Why should he worry about his- tory? DOROTHY C. BISHOP uD0tn You can always tell when Dot-not Doty is near for she has never been known to be quiet more than two sec- onds at a time. But she has helped to make the Senior class famous by her cheer- leading and by her faithful work on the basket-ball teams, and by her studying. ANNA MAY PIERCE Anna May If Anna May needed a middle name we would sup- ply the deficiency by giving her Stick-to-it-tive-ness. U She believes in doing things right or not at all. Anna May, however, is interested in lots of things besides work. Sh! don't say that we told you. Thirty-two SARAH ISABEL HOSEY nlssyss Stop! Look! Listen! Behold our orator. Can she speak? Well, Rip Van Winkle, where have you been these long years? She is very much sought after when programs are being arranged, for one is incomplete without her. To be Daniel Webster is her aim. l QQ , 'X.xw.u... ...V ,M ,M , w,...-.,. .-.--M . . f J ANETTE MOUNT Jean Come to school some morn- ing a half hour early and probably the first person you meet will be Janette, roa' ing the halls waiting for Mrs. Compton to open Room 1. That is because she comes from Carlisle on the trac- tion. Her enforced waits never affect her good humor, however, which is saying a whole lot. IRENE FLORENCE FRISH Frishie Here's sunshine personi- fied in both disposition and looks. Irene is fi re.l Goldie Locks just like the one in the story, and she will b' missed when shc leaves M. H. S., quite as much as the other Goldie Locks was when she left the home c the three bears. ANNA LOUISE BANZHAF t'Louie Louise's favorite pastime is talking. All the teachers will agree on this point. When she isn't talking, her gay laugh comes floating out from the class rooms or halls. She is especially fond of talking about one subject, and We feel sure that Louise is perfectly able to discuss it from all angles. Don't worry Louise, we won't tell what it is. ROBERT MORGAN uB0bs: Bob is one of the few Sen- iors, who can, by any stretch of the imagination be called dignified. It is a good thing there is some one to uphold the dignity of the class. He's an active member too, and a loyal supporter of M. H. S. 'l'hirty-thrcc IQ fl X w- -1 nvnrgf ID JOSEPH G. LINDEMAN FLORENCE LEONARD KATHRYN EO1AN ANNA MAUDE SCOTT -'Joe' Flo ffiiaw' '-Babe Oh, dear Joe's such a darl- ing, and he's worked so hard for M. H. S. And aren't the things he writes about our school simply wonderful 'Z He has such adorable eyes and doesn't he look simply swell on the stage? We all just know he'll be a great man some day. Another one of the small members of the class of '21. Flo is especially noted in Middletown High School for two things. What are they? Well, first and foremost, are her bangs. which are among the best-trained in school, and second, her frequent vis- its to the Library, during which she acquires a store of knowledge. 'I'hirl.y-fu VVhen you meet any one in the halls of M. H. S. gigg- ling and wearing a red plaid dress you know it is Kate, who loves to vamp 'em all. But she is serious sometimes and has fully made up her mind to become a first-class stenographer. u 1' Anna Maude Scott came all the way from Venice to attend M. H. H. in her Sen- ior year. No: not Venice, Ita- ly, silly, Venice, Ohio. lf you want her in the afternoons call at the principal's office in the South School and there you will see her established in the dignified position of assistant. l.ll...-1.-ll ELIZABETH H. CLASS RUTH MAY LENTZ MARIE H. O'DONNELL Classy Rufus Mamie You might not hear her very much in school but just go cut to an athletic game and listen to her there. We wonder how she has trained her voice so well. If you want to know anything about football or the players just ask Elizabeth. She is a real fan and knows it all, The air of West Middle- town must have a quieting influence over the inhabi- tants of that suburb for they do not generally seem to be be very talkative, and Ruth is no exception, to the rule. She does, however, know how to talk and when to keep still, which can't be said of all of us. The three outstanding fea- tures of this jolly little per- son are: first, her captivat- ing smiley second, her hairg and third, her freckles. One can sae them from a dis- tance. Marie is always busy at something, especially in Room 1 before the bell rings. We donlt know where she's headed for but we do know she'll get there all right. Thirty-l'ivc LESLIE LOCKARD SIGNOM Les?' Off again, on again, that's Les. He attended M. H. S., his first year, and went to St. Maryls the next two, but came back to Middletown to graduate. He is very brill- iant in Advanced Algebra, often startling the teacher by his explanation of the lesson. by 4 . it P' g .f-wi-.3 .Xu - - ,W .

We don't know much about Russel, because he doesn't talk much, but any- way we believe he's got the ideas, and some day he may bring them to the surface, who can tell? LUCILLE STILLWAUGH MARGUERITE WYCOFF MARY ALICE HUDSON ssL0uv Just look for someone with a crowd around her, not al- ways girls. That's Lucille. Of course they are talking about school work. They say that Lucille ig a star in French II. We don't see how some girls do it-but they do. upeggyu Peggy is the business lady of M. H. S. She helps Mr. Miller run the office and in this capacity attempts to answer the never-ending stream of questions which the Freshies and Sophs are always asking at the office. She finds time somehow for her lessons and basketball, too. KS:xl!! The Seniors Cthat is, the girls, for boys are not in- terested in such thingsj have been wondering ever since Mary came to M. H. S. in her Senior year, what they could do to get into her good graces. Why? Well, if you must know, to find out her recipe for blushes, they are so becoming.

ELMA CLYDA EAKIN OLIVE VALTA BURK PEARL NVILSON SETH MARTIN nchoppysr nBu1,kiev, uBettyn 4nM.artins: Some day we are going to write a book about the fav- orite abiding places of the Seniors and opposite Elma's name in large letters will be Middletown Public Library. She reads ,pages and pages of history in its classical at- mosphere which probably ac- counts for the fact that many of us marvel at her display of knowledge. Burkie is one of our quiet little Seniors, rather hard to get acquainted with, but af- ter you do get acquainted with her,hwel1 just ask Op- al, she can tell you all about her. Olive's kind-hearted and always willing to help her friendsg she knows how to study too, just take a peep at her grades and see for yourself. Shorthand .and Typewrit- ing, boy she eats 'em alive. You should see her making the old machines in Room 12 click. Her ambition is to work in an office or get mar- ried. Which shall it be? Time will tell. Seth is one of the big men of the school. Lucky is the person who sits behind him in class, for he certainly is out of sight of the teach- er. One of Seth's noticeable characteristics is his laugh and the best or worst partof it is that it is contagious. Thirty-seven li ,x .1 , ' 1' W:'s f'4 xii'-A+ 4 I LOUIS MARTIN Louie Louis has two main ambi- tions that we know of, name- lyg to get credits and to be a debator. He upholds the standard of M. H. S. in deba- ting. Surely he gets practice continually. He doesn't con- fine himself to the Debate Club either, for you can hear him in almost any class at any time or anywhere else. THELMA ALMIRA LONG uL0ngyu This is to our Longy, Tho she isn't very tallg You say you do not know her Well, there you've miss it a . She's somewhat shy and quiet We think sh's done her bestg So in honor of our high school We wish to her, success. Thirt y-eight GLADYS K. CHANNEL -'Billy' Curls, smiles, and fun - that's Billy all over. Look for Geneva and you are al- most sure to see Gladys somewhere near. She be- lieves in studying but in hav- ing a good time too. She is another one of the Seniors known by her good work on the basketball teams. is is e jx vnu T .WH ' . Iv '4'i ' .,. ESTHER FRANK CIENER HS!! Music and pretty clothes and Esther all go hand in hand. The first is somehow connected with her plans for the future we hear. The sec- cnd, well Esther believes in the popular adage that clothes make the woman and why not, for everyone should have a hobby. VIRGINIA LEASURE .Iinny Virginia's motto seems to be Take it slow and easy for felwt things worry this jolly girl. We wonder why it is that a cherry disposition is always found in people who have a decided tendency tow- ards--what shall we say? There is one thing Jinny is not slow in, however, and that is, in making friends. Thirty-nine GEORGE VVILSON MKid37 Give me liberty or give me death. Well, if it isn't our old friend, George. He is the star in public speaking and an all round good stu- dent besides. When it comes to Jazz, George certainly can make the saxaphoue talk. ii 2:4 '-1 Q , ,, FH, LX MM ROSE SIZEMORE Rose Small but mighty, that's Rose. When it come to talk- ing and being jolly, she's right on the job. When we are in need of a friend to do us a good turn we can al- ways depend upon her. In other words Rose believes in following the Golden Rule. MILDRED M. I-IOLLOVVAY uMidge,, Midge is going to make a first-class office girl. That is what the crystal gazer told us when we consulted her and what's more it's true. The t'Middletonian would have been late more than once if Mildred hadn't helped type the copy.

The Student, Senate was organized at M. H. S.. to afford the students actual experience of participation in the rights and duties of a representative government. The Senate is as democratic as it can be made and at the same time be representative of the activ- ities and organizations of the student body, Its membership in- cludes the executive officers and advisors of the four high school classes and a representative chosen by pOpular election from the Boys' Glee Club, The Girls' Glee Club, The Orchestra, The Optimist Staff, The Middletonian Staff, The Athletic Association, The De- bating Society, The Girls' Hi-Y Club and The Boys' Hi-Y Club. The regular meetings are held on the third Tuesday of each monthg Mr. Miller, Principal of the High School, and faculty advisor for the Senior Class presides. The discussions are very informal, each member beingfencouraged to participate. Subjects of interest to the students are discussed, and things considered for their best welfare are done. This work is of two classes, the material things doneg and the positive, constructive spirit and sentiment created in the student body. A To enumerate the list here would be of little avail, for each student at M. H. S. already knows what has been doneg but credit surely should be given for the raising of enough money to supply motion pictures free to the high schoolg for the selling of the Guides to Ft. Ancient, a thing in itself highly commendable for we love this sacred spot of old Ohio, but in addition, the profits were used to purchase pencil sharpners for each of the home-roomsg for the preparation and sale of a high-grade uniform, standard stationery for the high school students and teachers use. The SGIIHLCVS activities of the second class are less concrete, and hence more difficult to mention. The body disciplines its own mein- bers. No member is in good standing whose scolarship is below average, or whose conduct is questionable. Better scholarship is urged among the members of each activity. The real and true M. H. S. spirit is fostered and propagated. Respect for school property, politeness, student honor, honesty, and fair dealing are all en- couraged by the members. In brief, any thing is done that is deemed for the best interests of the student body of Middletown High School.

The funds collected were turned over to Middletown Red Cross chapter for local work. Much class rivalry was evident, each one trying to go over the top. The Sophornores Won with a 15970 membership. Altogether, 704 memberships, 111.270 of the total enrollment were secured by the students. This amounted to 55176.11. M, H. S. is proud of such a record in Red Cross work. The following table represents the daily report of the workers.

Two hours a week were devoted to this work. Under the efficient instruction of Dr. Snyder, the work has proved both interesting and beneficial to the following M. H. S. girls: Margaret Reese, Nancy Herr, Alice Niblock, Elizabeth Schwebel, Ruth Byrum, Daisy Patterson, Helen Vail. TAXIDERMY CLUB Although no formal meetings of thc Taxidermy Club were held this year, Mr. Cromer invited all boys interested in such work to join with him in the study of the art of preservation of the skins and pelts of different animals in their natural beauty and appear- ance. In their work they have treated pheasants, Hying squirrels, owls, dogs, etc. Mr. Theodore Crauder presented the organization with a complete deer from Maine. It was a five-pointer, one of the finest specimens ever brought to Ohio. The boys have also brought in a mounted fish eagle and two alligators-one from Florida and one from Mississippig a water-dog and a carp Weigliing about three pounds. A complete collection of butterflies of the tropics was also presented, and a case to inclose them was given by one of the mem- bers. The study of these specimens and their treatment has been very interesting and instructive work. HTKERS' CLUB The Hikers' Club was organized under the excellent leadership of Mr. Cromer. The members have had'inany interesting trips through the surrounding' country. Among the places visited for the purpose of finding specimens and studying insects are: Brown's Run, Fort Ancient fsee page 865, where they found several speci- mens of mothsg Shakertown, and the Rifle Range, at which place they also studied the formation of the rocks of that region. Hiking has proven instructive, as well as interesting, and the boys are very enthusiastic about the out-of-door life. Eighty-five he ,K 'VI ff M 1 Q Qi N QQ?

EXTRACT FROM A LOST DIARY May 22, 1931, There! We are stopping again! I wonder where we are now? This accommodation train seems much slower than it really is, just because I am in a hurry to fill a lecture engagement and get home. I always like to get to my own hearth for the week-end, and every delay of this sort irritates me greatly. It is really to give vent to my feeling of impatience that I have written these rather inglorious Words, and now I shall 'tturn over a new leaf and chronicle some very pleasant experiences of the past twenty-four hours, I arrived in Middletown at four o'clock this morning, and was whirled away to one of the finest hotels in which I have ever found lodging. Surely, the city with a soul knows how to provide for the comfort of its guests. Refreshed after four hours of sleep and a good breakfast, 1 was ready to look about me. From one window of my room I saw the new Y, M. C. A. building, from another, the remodeled Girls' Club, formerly the Y. Next to the hotel is the big community Building with its splendid auditorium. This corner has become the hub of the city. I went down to the mezzanine floor overlooking the lobby and gave free rein to my hobby, watch- ing human nature. Little can be seen if one lolls easily in a big chair, so I sat down on a straight chair and rested my chin on the railing. I wondered whether I might not see some of my pupils of a decade ago. My attention had been long attracted to a man who was vainly trying to hang a lady's coat upon a hanger, when suddenly a voice called out, Mistah Cromah! Mistah Cromah! It was a dapper little page exercising his lungs. I waited for results and soon saw two men meet, shake hands, and settle down in a quiet corner for a chat. They were quite near me, and I discovered that Mistah Cromah was the Mr. Cromer of the High School ten years ago. But who was the chap who had greeted him? He was younger, and the way he carried his head reminded me of someone. Ah, yes! Robert Sutphin! I had heard of his fine success in the West. I suppose he is home on a flying visit and is looking up all his old friends. As for Mr. Cromer, I understand he is at the head of a big school for boys in the East. I, supposed there was some business deal coming off between them, but their interview hardly seemed of a business nature. Presently they sprang up and came toward the main entranceg im- mediately beneath my section of the balcony. Their conversation was distinctly audible. Yes, said Mr. Cromer, Illl be glad to. I'm just as much interested as ever. '4VVell,', was the reply, Hit Nin ety-three LQ ,K f . ,Vx surely is a grand place. I have wished many a time that I could be back and live it all over again in the new building. When I think of our meager facilities for athletics, in the old days, I wonder how we ever stirred up all that fine lVI. H. S. spirit. Of course, athletics is only one of the things you'll see improved. It was evident that they intended to visit the new High School building. Their enthusiasm was contagious, and I prepared to go, too. Keeping at a discreet distance, l went down Broadway, out Third Street, and turned south on Curtis Avenue. The Library looked familiar, but not so the big building a little farther on to my left. It seemed immense to me after working all those years in the old one. I found there was 'a Curtis Avenue entrance, so made my way into the building without any trouble. But once inside, I was in a maze. All the rooms looked alike to me. I learned from a wise-looking Senior ffor so I judged him to bel that the Principal's office was in the wing straight ahead. How strange to go to the office and not find Mr. Miller there! I knew that he and Mr. Solomon had long ago departed for larger fields of usefulness. In the office I ,greeted Mr. Cromer and Bob. In Bobls eyes I detected a twinkle, which I knew meant something. The Principal emerged from his private office. Through the open door I caught a glimpse of two stenographers hard at work. I turned to be intro- duced to the Principal. He was small-that much looked familiar. But he had plenty of hair-yet. He was a hustler, I could plainly see. One glance at the three of us and out came a dimple. Yes, it was Floyd. Business certainly suffered for a few minutes while we all taked it over. After that, no trouble was spared to show us just what is being done there. I inquired about the teachers I had known, and found that only Miss Metzler is left. She, too, has found bigger opportunities for service, for she is Dean of Girls, and Supervisor of Normal Train- ing. This new department has been added to many High Schools to give students, unable to go to college, some advanced work there, and also to relieve the congestion in the colleges. I could have spent the whole day talking with her, but there were so many things to see, and besides she was in constant demand. A visit to the gymnasium showed a very finely equipped de- partment, with two basketball floors, showers and dressing rooms in abundance. A class was swinging Indian clubs. Something in the Swish of the director's coat-tail 'attracted my attention. As he turned to greet us I saw it was really Charles Deiss. He is building up the Department of Physical Education, while his wife takes charge of the Public Speaking classes. In conversation with them I learned that Ruth Cowgill is at the head of the Latin Department, and largely responsible for the strength it displays at this time. However, I did not see her, for she is just now on a tour of inspection of other Latin Departments, Some of the young folks are beginning to consider that educating the youth is as important as building skyscrapers, or working on newspapers. They prepare for it and then place themselves where they can be of real service. I have always been sure it would come. Nobody knew what had become of many students about whom I inquired, but several interesting bits of news did come to me during my stay. They told me that Douglas Palmer is a valuable man on the force of the Middletown Journal g that Isabel Hosey is an entertainer of noteg that two of the boys have taken up Scout work, Alvin Forkner as chief director of these activities in Dayton, and Robert Reinhardt in Middletown: and that little Solomon Arno- vitz and John Herr, too, are playing with the Cincinnati Symphony Orchestra. One interesting experience was my visit to the lunch rooms. There are two of these, one in which the cafeteria service to those who wish to buy, and one in which those who bring lunches may keep them in lockers and then eat them at the noon hour. Here I looked into the eager faces of the present student body. These young folks are much like those of other days. I thought I even detected family resemblances.- They were busy with bowls of soup, sandwiches, and baked beans, and had no time for me. As I watched them, I saw health and contentment in their faces. In the classrooms Cthere are sixty of theml I saw real interest manifested in what real teachers were doing. Everywhere was displayed a spirit of prosperity and sensible progress. I noticed, especially, some Fine new pictures and statuary in the corridors and classrooms. Telephones connect each room with the office. Built-in lockers give ample room for the needs of all. , The study halls are spacious and the assembly room one of the best I have ever seen. Somewhat later in the year I ani to have the pleasure of addressing the student body from its platform. The Principal says it is his turn now to call on me. I am almost sorry I have left the teaching profession. The realization of its honors and privileges comes to me now with greater force than ever. However, my work is a kindred one, and I am still helping to educate folks. The brakeman is calling my station and I must finish this little account in a hurry. Then my next duty is to meet the President of the Woman's Literary Club, before which I am to speak. What a happy day this has been. Friends, health, the joy of work! We need to count our blessings. ll 9 2 l Ninety-four is LK FRIENDS OF M. H. S., -- STILL Ninety-five X ,fn THE MODERN TEACHERS PROBLEM As Viewed From Shakespeare To move or not to move, that is the question. Whether 'tis wiser in the paunch to suiTer The dyspeptic fodder of a villainous scullion, Or to pack trunks and fiy to other cooking, And by the moving mend it? To pack, to Hee, To go, and by a move to say we end The bitter pain, and thousand frightful things That hash is heir top ,tis a consummation Devoutly to be wished. To go, to move, To move we know not where. Aye, there's the rub, For in that change of rooms what cooks might come, Red armed and grimy handed, to serve the table, Must give us pause, there's the respect That makes the calamity of boarding life, For who would bear the hash, and! soup and prunes, The leathery meats, and aged fowl and eggs, The rooms unswept, the groaning harshness of a squeaky The insolence of chambermaids and things That patient merit of the landlady takes, When he himself might his quick rescue make By a change of room? Who would dyspepsia call To 1'ack his stomach and to weary life, But that the dread of other rooms and cooks Sickens the stomach, puzzles the will, And makes us rather bear those cooks we have. Than Hy to others we know not of? Thus boarding doth make cowards of us all, And thus our resolution halts and falters, Wliile we grow pale and thin and weazen-featured, Ready to drop into untimely graves. SONG OF A LOVER O darling, I have sung your charms, The ripple in your tawny hair- I like the muscle in your arms, Your tilted nose that takes the air. Your voice is low, I like your laughter, I revel even in your tearsg I search your features fore and after, . But I have never seen your ears. bed, Ninety-six SHAKESPEARES SENIOR SOLILOQUIES To Hunk, or not to Hunk, that is the question. Whether 'tis easier, after all, to study and try to make a grade by conscientious workg Or by colossal bluff and contenance wise Deceive the teacher thereby. To try to bluff, No more-and by that stall to make A goodly grade-'tis a consummation Devoutly to be wished. To try to bluff To bluff perchance to fail, aye, there's the rub. For in that bluff what topics may arise, When we had fairly thought we'd put it through, Must make us Hunk. MORE SHAKESPEARE Is this a zero which I see before me, With single staring eye? Come, let me change thee. 'Twere better far if thou Wert much more high. Art thou not, fatal grade, susceptible To change of any sort, or art thou but A goose-egg of the mind, a grade imaginary Proceeding from the failure-fevered brain? I see thee yet in form as palpable As this which now I make. TABLE MANNERS Four slender legs the table has: I'Ve two-on each a stockingg The table boldly bares its legs- Aren't table manners shocking? The boy stood on the platform. His speech had just been said. Tense moments there he waited, But all had gone to bed. VERY GREEN! A green little Freshman, one green summer day, Mixed some chemicals, in a green little way: Now the green little grasses tenderly wave O'er the green little Freshman's green little grave. 1- . X, ,,,Q,,,1i.. -, A. 'W-:f.z,,, 41 HOW TO BE GREAT Do others fail to realize The greatness of your mind?? Then just begin to criticise And show them where they're blind. Of course, they'1l think you know it all, And stand in awe of you, And soon your virtues loud extol, For like you there are few. Quite far beneath your cultured mind Is all that others likeg All things must be by you maligfned. Which others' fancies strike. Was there a lecture in the course Which others highly praised? Just tell how much it lacked in force, How poorly it was phrased. That concert others all enjoyed, Appreciate it not: Just say how much you were annoyed, Pick out some faulty spot. Though wonderful the play you saw, Which praise deserved won, If you can't find some other flaw Why, say 'twas overdone. So if you wish to be admired All value true despise, Of course, you'll gain the end desired 'Tis few can criticise. THE DOWN-HEARTED DUSTCLOTH I put it to you. said the dustcloth, As it wiped the grimy shelf, If a fellow could touch all the dust in the world, And never get dirty himself? Ninety-seven MUCH ADO ABOUT NOTHING It was midnight on the ocean, Not a street car was in sight, The sun was shining brightly, For it rained all day that night. 'Twas a summer's day in winter, The rain was snowing fast, As a barefoot girl with shoes on, Stood sitting on the grass. It was evening, and thc rising sun Was settling in the West, While the little fishes in the trees Were cuddling in their nest. The rain was pouring' down, The sun was shining bright, And everything that you could see Was hidden out of sight. Then the organ pealed potatoes, Lard ,was rendered by the choir, While the sexton rang the dish-rag, Someone set the church on fire. t'Holy Smokelu the preacher shouted As he sadly tore his hairy Now his head resembles heaven, For there is no parting there, -Exchange Late to bed, And later to rise, Make the Hunks swarm Thick as fiies. Little words of wisdom, Little words of bluff, Makes the teachers tell us: Sit down, thats' enough!

What are your possessions worth in dollars-how do you handle money, do you systematically economize or waste? Your dollar is simply a part of what you have accomplished-it is your time and labor.

Eddie's treatment of this great man was vivid, but hardly historical. He wrote: UI-Ienry VIII was a king of England and the greatest widower that ever was. He was born at a place called Anno Domini and he had sixty wives. The first he ordered to be executed, but she was beheaded. He revoked the second, and the third diedg and then he married Annie Bowling, the daughter of Tom Bowling. When he died he was succeeded on the throne by his Aunt Mary. Her full name was Mary Queen of Scots, or the Toy of the Last Minstrel. Mrs. Muggs: In some parts of Africa a man d0esn't know his wife until he has married her.

Furthermore, the American ho-me of today is far superior to that of any other nation as to comforts, convenience and artistic embei- lishments, and has contributed in producing a state of contentment and well-being conducive in a large measure to the peace and tranquillity this nation has enjoyedg also, in maintaining a loyal and true American spirit which emanates from the Great American Home. It is our desire to assist, in whatever manner we can, those who wish to acquire a home. Nein Bros. Realty Co CRealtorsj One Hundred Sixty-s'.' as E i JK CO Xl PLI M ENTS OF The Advance Cm HM .
