NEW HIGH SCHOOL To he completed September 1, 1923 X ,M FOREWOBD. IN DEFERENCE to truth, it should be stated, in the beginning, that Bacon did not write this book. Its appearance indicates this fact. There is no need of going into detail. Bacon is not located as far back as- de-tail. However, this Volume of the Optimist should not be despised because it is not the product of a sugar-cured author. It may happen to have an origin even higher than that. For, see: That which makes bacon is greater than the bacon it makes, and hence is greater than anything that the bacon it has made can make. This book was compiled by butchers Cof the English languagej. Butchers make bacon, and hence, even if their product had produced this book, by the stern laws of logic, it could not have been as good as it is now. Quod erat demonstrandum. These facts establish the reputation of our book beyond all chance of illegitimacy. It can be admitted into society without fear of contamination, and placed upon the read- ing table without any fear of contagion. It will not soil the intellect, and it is actually guaranteed to be unthinkable. Furthermore, it can be administered without the least knowledge on the part of the recipient, a quality, which shows that it is in keeping with most modern books and so gives it the right to rank with them among the first. THE EDITORS, -3- L A THE SENIORS. Bid us goodbye! No sweeter salutation Can friendship claim, Nor yet can any language, any nation, A sweeter frame. It is not final, it forbodes no sorrow As some declare Who, born to fretting, are so prone to borrow To-morrow's share. Goodbye is but a prayer, a benediction From lips sincere, And breathed by thine it brings a sweet conviction That God will hear. Goodbye! Yes, God be with you! prayer and blessing In simplest phrase, Alike our need and his dear care confessing In all our ways. However, rare or frequent be our meeting, However nigh The last long parting or the endless greeting, Bid us goodbye! ..4.. Selected yg J TABLE OF CON TENTS.

Legislation has declined in efficiency, the courts are less respected, the church has been left behind, and education -public education-alone has retained its hold on democracy and is be- coming more and more effective as the years go by?-Charles William Eliot, Former President, Harvomcl Uiiioefrsity. What in the Way of culture, efficiency, and good citizenship has this country reason to expect in 1922 in return for the cost of operating the public schools? The answer is simple and directg inasmuch as it is spending no more of purchasing power upon the schools in 1922 than it was expending in 1911, it has reason to expect no more by Way of culture, eiiiciency, and good citizenship than it secured by the expenditures of 1911. It has reason to expect no more, but as matter of fact it is getting more, the increase being chargeable to the devotion of the great body of teachers and school administrators to the cause of better America. - Will C. Wood, The Department of Superiiitemlence, N. E. A., 1922. -3- tt ,M THE FOLLOWING LETTER WAS RECEIVED IN REPLY TO THE INFORMATION GIVEN CONCERNING THE DEDI- CATION OF THIS VOLUME OF THE OPTIMIST. Middletown, Ohio, February 3, 1923. To the Youth of Middletown :- It has been our earnest desire to provide adequate schooling facili- ties for every girl and boy in our city. The new school buildings soon to be dedicated are a partial realization of our ambitions. We trust that these new opportunities will result in such an appreciation on your part that both you and the community at large will be greatly benefited. We agree with Emerson, that The true test of civilization is not in the census, nor in the size of the cities, nor in the crops, but in the kind of men that the country turns out.

In 1890 there were 26,734 in the high schools in this state, at the close of the year in 1921 the net enrollment Was 151,709. This had in- creased to 175,462 at the close of school in 1922. The number of high school graduates in 1921 was almost 75 per cent of the total high school enrollment in 1890. In spite of the fact that the boys constitute 55 per cent of the enumerated youth, their sex makes up only 46 per cent of the' high school enrollment. There Were 11,000 more girls than boys in high school last year. The following table is enlightening: 1890-91 1900-01 1910-11 1920-21 1921-22 H. S.

Don't give up the game and retire in dismay 'Cause hammers are thrown when you'd like a bouquet. This World would be tiresomeg We'd all get the blues If all the folks in it held just the same viewsg So finish your Workg show the best of your skill. Some folks Won't like it, but other folks Will. If you're leadin' an army, or buildin' a fence t Do the best that you can with your own common sense. One small word of praise in this journey of tears Outweighs in the balance 'gainst carloads of sneers. The plants that We're passin' as commonplace Weeds Oft prove to be jes' What some sufferer needs. So, keep on a-goin' 5 don't stay standin' still 9 Some folks Won't like you, but other folks Will. -Christian Stanclard. K -SO- AN APOLOGY FOOTBALL We regret very much that the scope of activities in M. H. S. has been gradually curtailed until at present many of them do not function at all. But it could not be helped. Our present quarters were built to accommodate 250 pupils, but now they are actually taking care of 918. With such a congestion some of the real work of the school such as classes in Art, Penmanship, etc., had to be discontinued. Under such circumstances We are glad that we are able to carry on as much student activity as we do. The students are willing to make this sacrifice because there is hope of even greater activity in the new building, which we are promised will be ready for use next year. Save for our Seniors, we are anticipating activities for every student g such a variety of activities as will afford an opportunity for a student with talent along any line, to function. We expect there will be several Literary Clubs, a Debating Society, a Dramatic Club, Science Clubs of several sorts, a Mathematics Club, a French Society, a Spanish Society, a Latin Club, Current Events Club, a Band, an Orchestra, Boys Glee Club, Girls Glee Club and Chorus. All these in addition to gymnasium work for everybody, which we ,understand will mean inter-class sports of every kind. It has been hinted in the Principal's Office that each student will be required to participate in some high school activity as well as to partici- pate in the activities of the gymnasium. The one session plan for the school day will afford more time for study in school, and also make it possible for all boys to take part in athletics. This will be a decided advantage for the school in general, since the students in the afternoon session could not take part at all. We are happy, too, in looking forward to the new Lincoln Athletic field, which is now being graded, and equipped with bleachers, fences, etc., ready for use next September. And what a splendid schedule we have with which to dedicate itg although the formal dedicatory exercises will probably be held preceding the Hamilton game on November 10th.

But, why shouldn't he be? He has been our faithful football coach for years and this year has coached our basketball team with splendid results. Teams cannot help but be successful with Jock, because he inspires them with such great confidence in themselves. Day by day in every way he is get- ting better and better. 84- HAROLD S, IRONS CManagerJ Mr. Irons is an exception to the old adage, Jack of all trades, for he certainly is master of everything he undertakes.

By THE SAMPLER FIRST, I believe I should introduce myself and tell why I am called UTHE SAMPLER . SHERLOCK HOLMES, the only detective that I ever envied, was not embarrassed with the undesirable task of introducing himself-Doyle did it for him. NICK CARTER, HOLD SLEUTHU and all the rest were relieved of the job by accommodat- ing authors by I-I know neither author nor press-agent and must record my own deeds if they be recorded at all. So, I begin by introducing myself as a master mind in the .art of detectivery fif there be such a wordj. I am known by another name at the school which I attend,-M. H. S.-but no one is aware that I am a detective. Perhaps this is the reason why I was able to run across the adventure which I now relate. Investigating rumors which I had heard about certain mem- bers of M. H. S. who were implicated in a fraud I found out that a plot had been hatched to hoodwink the general public in a most extraordinary way. Some of the most eminent members of the high school had banded together in a secret organization called, THE BLIND TIGER CORPORATION. LTD.', and had been operating for some time before I heard of their activities. Some time ago, during the first stages of the radio craze, Charles Kleczinski, Max Finkleman and Jack Brede, conceived the idea of the merger and drew up a charter. From time to time after that, new members who were thought worthy, were admitted into the partnership. It seems that the motive of this nefarious group was to assas- sinate or kidnap many of the prominent musical, screen and politi- cal celebrities, and to fill the abducted personages' places with members of the BLIND TIGERS. This was a tedious job and the first action was to pick out people who resembled members of the cor- poration, or who had analogous characteristics, on whom to effect the substitution. I, THE SAMPLER,H iso termed because of my sampling of others' affairs! heard of this and ran every one of the ambitious members to earth. I am now writing it for the benefit of public delectation for the first time, no one other than myself knows of the cabal. I will not discriminate between the social stations of the UBLIND TIGERS, in high school, but will speak with equal frankness about each and every one. My first move was to find young Wesley Barry, who had been kidnapped. No one knew that he had been abducted, not even his own mother, but my strange sense of mental telepathy told met tihat the speckled prodigy had been done dirty, so I investi- ga e . ALL this happened two years ago and since that time Barry's producers have made eight pictures thinking that they were starring young Wesley-this shows how complete the BLIND TIGERS' plans were laid. But, that is where I, with my sensitive telepathic powers came in. I studied the imposter's acting and watched his personal habits. I noticed that he was too,-finiin- itely tool-smart for a movie actor. I knew men who possessed less knowledge than this actor, and who were college professors. So, one day when I heard him talking to Samuel Crowther, about American history, I knew who this young HWESLEY BARRY truly was: With such a knowledge of history he could be but one per- son-Max Finkleman! Now, it seems that the producers surely would have seen some change in the imposting actor. They did: First they noticed that his acting lacked the old sense of security and that he acted more like a beginner, but they laid that to a psychological plateau fa subject on which eminent Professor Schultz, of M. H. S., has treatedj. Then, they also noticed that the young star was more handsome and manly looking than usual, but believed that due to his maturing age. They were not aware of the real state of conditions until I, THE SAMPLERU, searched for, and found the unfortunate Barry in a cave in the Adrionacks and then exposed fraud to the PAR-0-DIZE producers. Immediately after this episode many radio fans noted a change in the Voice of John McCormick as it came through their ampli- fiers. I was one of the first to notice this difference and thinking it queer, straightway began investigations. I tried my power of deduction this time and arrived at the following conclusion: First, this new voice was much sweeter than the former voice, second, John McCormick had not been seen in person for many monthsg third, there was but one voice in the entire world capable of making such outmeriting soundsg whose?-that's just what I, THE SAMPLER , wanted to make sure of--I had an hypothesis. My first move was to search for McCormick. My search took in the entire American continent and finally reached to Europe. Even during this sweeping search no clues were found that would lead to the whereabouts of the songster. Finally, one night while I was partaking of tea and paragoric in a European coifeeshop an American negro came to my table to clear away some dishes. t'Nice weather, we're having, ai-isn't it? I asked. At these words the negro grinned cavernously and said: Hit sho am, boss: wut about a li'l' tip? When I heard this dialect I jumped fContinued on page 1411 -108- fs A W Bl Ld Ye Bulletin Board AS IT MIGHT APPEAR, 1927 ANNOUNCEMENT It has been announced that the Aged and Infirm Veterans of the Graduation of 1923 will give a Charity Ball at the new Purple-White Hotel tomorrow evening for the benefit of four of their old classmates who are still attending M.

M. C. A. Its object is to maintain and extend thru-out the school life and community a high standard of Christian character. The members of the club try to promote, QD clean athletics, C21 clean scholarship, Q31 clean speech, and Q41 clean habits among their high-school friends. The club was organized five years ago by Miss Margaret Johnson who is now engaged in Y. W. C. A. secretarial work in New York City. Miss Grace Weatherill, then a teacher in our high school, became the leader of the club for one year. During the past three years, the club has been under the leadership of Miss Pauline Wise. The club has not sought to greatly increase in members but rather to grow in efficiency and effectiveness. The girls take great pleasure in conducting their weekly meetings and in discussing the various problems that arise for them in their school and home life. These little heart-to-heart talks have proved to be of per- manent value in the lives of many of the girls. At the reunion meeting during the holidays, many of the girls who have graduated and have either entered college or some special line of work, cited many instances showing the lasting in- fluences of their work in the club. Miss Ruth Cowgill two years ago was the first Freshman girl at Hiram to be chosen to serve three years upon the Y. W. C. A. cabinet. Miss Ida Mae Hudson a graduate of last year, was given the honor of being selected from 2000 Ohio State girls to serve upon the Y. W. C. A. cabinet of that great university. Miss Hazel Huffman has entered a school of religious education in Cincinnati which undoubtedly will make her a leader in work of that nature. All of the girls who are now away at school told of the definite way they were connected with the forces for good in their schools. The club has endeavored to develop leadership abilities along the lines of character formation, and to point out to the girls the little things in life that do so much to affect their happiness and success in the future. The leader has tried to show the girls the necessity of building their lives along four main lines, the mental, moral, physical and religious, but that all really depends upon their attitude toward the last and most important-the re- ligious. The girls soon realize that a good strong character con- tributes toward rather than hinders one in having a good whole- some social time. The club has a Sunday School class of 20 boys and girls at the Garheld Mission. Each Sunday afternoon two girls from the club go to the Mission to teach this class.

At the present time it is under the leadership of L. J. Gossard, who organized it in Middletown. For the last three years the members of the club have con-N tributed S5100 a year towards helping Mr. Arthur H. Tebben, a Y. M. C. A. Secretary, at Madias, India, where he is working among the boys of India. The Hi-Y has helped to bring Christmas cheer into many homes. Last Christmas Eve, Fifteen families, with children rang- ing from 3 to 8 in number, were presented with baskets of food, toys, and clothing furnished by the Club. The meeting before Xmas, Mr. Schulz, who gave a talk on the origin of the first Xmas tree, assisted the Club by a very substantial contribution. During the Thanksgiving Vacation, the Middletown Hi-Y Club was represented at the Hi-Y Conference held at Akron, by a dele- gation of four Hi-Y members. James Wikoff, Robert Brown, Ed- ward Stigler and Paul Ramseyer made the two hundred mile trip by automobile. The first ten meetings of the school year were a series of Bible Study.lessons arranged particularly to meet the problems of High School boys. The Club had no need of an outside leader to carry on these discussions, because the members eagerly volun- teered to lead these meetings. The discussions were a success because of the interest with which the topics were received- The Christmas holidays brought the Hi-Y Alumni together again at a reunion banquet held at the First Presbyterian Church. The Alumni that attended the banquet, represented ten different Colleges and Universities. Mr. H. O. Miller, a man interested in boys, was the speaker of the evening. Wilson Vanderveer, who was the first Hi-Y member in Middletown, as well as President of the Club, presided as Toastmaster. Middletown High School is proud of the work of this Club, and the Optimist organization rejoices also in its success.

I had always known with what minstrel negroes blacked their faces, so I went to Cork and found John McCormick tied up in it fthe capitol, I meanl. IT MAY seem queer to the reader that someone had not found McCormick before but the truth of the matter is that all had been so busy getting freedom for themselves that they had no time for getting freedom for anyone else. So, I freed McCormick along with the rest of the Shannonites and brought him back to America. I had him listen in over my radio one night and while he held his ear to the mouthpiece CI mean audion tubej he crashed my expensive tuner with his fist and cried: Gawd! Kleczinski, my only rival! The Irish song-bird collapsed and fell to his left, thereby completing the havoc which he had already started upon my radio apparatus and apparatuses fpronounced sez J. I simply smiled for I knew who the singer was all the time. The only reason I had searched for McCormick was because travel broadens one and I was becoming skinny. I soon found Kleczinski and he was convicted to a long term in Middletown High School-breaking Geometry problems and making cracks fwise onesj at English questions. KI shall never forget the day I caught him. He was working in a restaurant and when I went in he was cleaning fish Cbasses and tenorsl and was practicing on the scales.J Even with these two successes I was not satisfied: there re- mained one more charter member of the BLIND TIGERSH who was still at large Cat small, I should sayj-it was Jack Brede. Now, young Brede fHALF-BTQdQ, they sometimes called him, because of his sizej was the most desperate of the three. It was generally known that he could swallow a quart bottle of Jockey Club perfume at one gulp. So, I worked with caution. I had not the least conjecture as to where Brede could be, so I strolled into his favorite hang-out one day and while gorging myself with hot waffles and ESKIMO pies I over-heard what two young fellows were saying. By their conversation I knew that they were two of the new members that had been added to the BLIND TIGERS. What's J. B. doing nowg working along his regular line of imitating wealthy snipe-shooters? asked one. Neg replied the other, he had to quit thatg he got short- winded walking a mile for a Camel every time he smoked. CContinued on page 1475 IDDLETOWN Candy Kitchen HOMEMADE I, .

Yesg he's on a 350,000 job now-the western job, you know. Oh, yes, I know. I slowly devoured my thirteenth polar cake, so as not to appear suspicious and walked out. Ah!, I exclaimed when the door closed behind me, I have found the whereabouts of desperate Jack Brede and at the same time have become acquainted with the idegigitiyhoyfl two more BLIND TIGERS-three birds with one boulder I went immediately to the'Golden Coast. It was there that young Finkleman's goose had been overdone by me, so I knew my ground. No doubt the reader is wondering how I assembled my clues regarding Brede's stamping groundsg there was but one: namely, the two BLIND TIGERS' mention of 5B50,000. I knew what 350,000 meant and had seen that amount mentioned in the great scandal- sheet, the MIDDIJETONIAN, the week before. I knew the talent of young Jack and thought that I would undoubtedly find him in Los Angeles, so I went there, and to the studios of Woof Aricson. I found nothing unusual. While returning from these studios I became fatigued and went into a coffee-shop for my regular afternoon stimulant-tea and paragoric-and there drank my quaif in a peaceful solicitude. I heard a loud ENSEMBLE of Ahs and when I looked up, saw a bevy of noted screen actresses enter. The foremost of these breathed another Ah Cas if a throat-specialist had asked for a view of her tonsilsj and ran to the rear of the shop, All of the other actresses followed: Norma Talmadge, her sister, Constance, Mae Murray, Phillis Haver, Bebe Daniels, Lila Lee, and last of all, Barbara LaMarr and Wanda Hawley. I TURNED around to see the object of the sudden infiux of the feminine barrage and there was little Jackie Coogan-the sweet thing. He was blushing coyly and partly rose just as the head member of the onslaught reached him. Norma lifted him from his feet and implanted a luscious kiss on his swiftly reddening cheek. Constance took him next and repeated the osculatory process and in turn handed him to be kissed by Mae, Phillis, Bebe and Lilag but Barbara and Wanda seemed reticient and were not overly- anxious to kiss the blushing prodigy.

T lie Ameriran Tmyf and Savings Bank MIDDLETOWN, OHIO EVERY BANKING AND TRUST SERVICE -150- lt 0 ,I fContinued from page 1471 my deductive senses started to work. Soon I had all my reason- ings in a workable order and I mumbled them. Here they are. 1. Jackie was blushing entirely too much for a seven-year old child. 2. I plainly saw many hairs protruding through the rolled-down half-socks that he wore. 3. It was more than evident that Jackie was getting entirely too much kick out of the embraces of the screen-stars for an innocent child. 4. The two last screen actresses, Barbara LaMarr and Wanda Hawley, did a peculiar thing in re- fraining from kissing the small child where all the others had. Therefore: Jackie Coogan was not Jackie Coogan and the two actresses knew it and furthermore, they knew who he was. And so did I-Jack Brede-the ENFANT MEPHISTOCLES. So I took Jack and locked him up in a hotel room, for I had other business to attend to before I left the coast: I had all of the other members of the BLIND TIGERS CORPORATION LTD. lined up, and spotted. The main part of my self-imposed work was now over and there is no need to burden the reader with a long detailed storyg so I will briefly end my narrative. AFTER I left the brilliant Jack Brede in a barracaded hotel room I made a round of all the movie studios in, and adjacent to Los Angeles. I had hired a number of limousines which fol- lowed me in a procession. At each studio I stopped and from nearly all I brought a member of the BLIND TIGERS. First, there were the two actresses who had refrained from kissing the imposting Jack Brede. land no wonder, for they knew him personally, being in the same clubj Barbara LaMarr was none other than the eminent fellow-getter -1Helen Erb. At a neighboring studio I found Wanda Hawley and loaded her into the limousine with Helen as--Hattie Selby. I went to the studio where Lew Cody worked, but found that the man I asked to see was really Lew Cody. I had thought that Johnny Herr or Lyman Nein might be posing as that famous screen male vamp. I ran across Rudolph Valentino and said, Come on now, Milton Adamsg mess up your hair, I know you, and he was loaded in the second limousine.

In addition there were many, many other M. H. S. students working as extras. Before I end this narrative I must confess that it was I who was responsible for the tired look on the faces of two M. H. S. students. It was like this: I had all my limousines nlled with impersonators when I ran across two, both of whom looked to me like Harold Lloyd. I wasn't sure which one was doing the imposting so I had to take them both with me. As I had no room inside I was necessitated to tie them to the back end of the last machine and these two Harold Lloyds almost ran to death-they were Harold Voorhis and Clark Stonebraker.

Well, what do we care, mumbled John, rolling over, So long as they don't die in the house? Little Paul had had economy drilled into him since he was old enough to take notice. He had been taught never to throw away anything that was good or whole. One afternoon his mother and afternoon callers were startled by the appearance of Paul at the door, triumphantly holding a dead cat aloft by the tail. Look, mamma, see what I found in the alley--a perfectly good cat that someone has throwed away! SEASONABLE PHILOSOPHY He was an old darky.

He expects to receive a warm welcome there and states that from Paris he will go to Jerusalem and perform upon vaudeville stages there, playing the Jew's harp.

Little started training his hair grgzghe Valentino fashion when he was -a junior in high school in Harold Broughton, spectacular Harvard coach, has announced his engagement to Betty Willis, eminent woman's suffrage leader. The engagement culminated from a love aiiair which has been extant since 1923. The candidacy of William Jennings Bryan for president on the Whooshwash ticket had caused a split in that party. One faction resents Bryan's nomination on the grounds that he is not eligible by the Maximum Runner law and claim that inasmuch as he was defeated in 1924, 1928, 1932, 1936, 1940, 1944, and 1948 they believe that the public does not want him for president. Bryan said in a speech recently that his opponent, James Wikoff, was a mere child and that he has not yet reached the age when a man, a real man, needs the monkey-gland treatment. Wikoff accosted Bryan on Pennsylvania Avenue this morning and de- manded an apology, saying: 'kWhat are you trying to dog make a monkey of me? No, was Bryan's clever repartee, Nature and your former English teacher have beaten me to that.

The foot fwich means on feet becaws two. foots are twins and one foot is the other foots brother or sister wich ever the case may bel wich you put your rite shoo on IS not like the foot wich you put your lef shoo on becaws the toes fwich are used dig away in shoes first and also to punch holes throo socksj Wat are on the rite foot are towards the north and the toes wat is on the lef foot is towards the south. This is the pvay wich most toes points but the feet wich I have got is dis ting wiched becaws the big toe on my rite foot points north east and the big toe on my lef foot points south east and if you would draw a line from the ends of both of them the lines would cross about fore feet in front of me. This fore feet do not mean real feet it means wooden feet and a wooden feet is the feet wat a man puts his shoos on wat has been in a train reck or sum thing. It is very nice to have only one foot for you will only ware out one shoo at a time but if you have not got no feet at all then you will not ware out any shoos but most people does not think of expense but would rather have ther feet to danse with. When you danse with your feet you should not danse to long becaws you will ware your shoos out. Pattin leather is the best kind of shoos to danse with becaws when you ware the bottoms out your feet will be pattin on the floor and you will still have pattin leather. Feet is made to walk on but you should watch out whose feet you walk on. Laff that off. THE MISCHIEF MAKER-BY AND BY There's a little mischief maker, Eliin, who is very nigh, Thwarting every undertaking and his name is By and By What we ought to do this minute, Will be better done, he'll cry, Ulf tomorrow we begin it, put it off, says By and By. Those who heed his treacherous wooing, will his faithless guidance rue, What we always put off doing, clearly we shall never do. We shall reach what we endeavor, if on Now we more rely, But into the realms of Never, leads the pilot, By and By. Time-English Class.

SAY A WORD OF COMFORT 'Long th' road of human life you see a fellow travelin' slow, An' like as not you'll find he's some poor chap that's stubbed his toe. He was makin' swimmin' headway, but he bumped into a stone, An' his friends all hurried onward an' left him here alone. He ain't sobbin' or ain't sniftin'-he's too old for tears an' cries But he's grievn' just as earnest if it only comes in sighs, An' it does a heap of good sometimes to go a little slow, An' say a word of comfort to th' man that's stubbed his toe. Catherine- Do you know that sickness affects one in the weakest spot? Alice- You do have a lot of headaches don't you, dearie? I b SheT Why is it they never had a man for the statue of li erty? He- Because a man has no liberty. ODE TO A SOPH To Latin he plods in dire dismay, As through the hall he makes his Way lfVith fear in his heart and PONY in hand, Resolved is he to hold his stand. Good Boy. While Nelson Stork was visiting in Detroit, he stopped over night at one of the large hotels there. The bell boy was Just taking Nelson up to his room when all at once he Jumped up and yelled. No sir! I won't have this room, it's too small, where's the bed ?'l Bell Boy- Say nut, keep still, this is the elevator.
