Q PTIKIST Foreword Our object in the building of this book is not only to chronicle the events of the year but to also reflect the spirit of a great high school, exemplified better perhaps, during the past year than ever before. VVe are not content to pass away entirely from the scenes of our delight, we would leave, if but in gratitude, a pillar and a legend. The degree of success to which our efforts have attained will be determined by the length of time that the 1926 Optimist remains a cher- ished memento of days that are gone.

This school was surrounded by large grounds enclosed by a high board fence and extending along three streets. Main Street on the west, Yankee Road on the east, and Seventh Street on the south. Some years ago a strip on the north end was sold to the city and is now known as Fourth Avenue. Up two long flights of stairs on the third floor was located our l first High School together with the seventh and eighth grades of the Intermediate school. The assembly room and one recitation room were used for the High School which at that time consisted of a three years course. A principal, sometimes a man, and again .. a woman, and one assistant teacher were in charge. There was one prescribed course, including Latin. which all were required to take. The school numbered less than a hundred for there was no compulsory educational law and only a small percentage of the pupils at that time deemed it necessary to get a High School education. After graduation only one or two of the wealthier class ever went to college. In 1891 there was no graduating class for those pupils stayed another year to get the fourth year course, which was then added. Now an additional room was used for the laboratory. As the number of students gradually grew larger, another room was added, until the entire third floor, including the assembly room and four smaller rooms were used for the institution of higher learning. The building was heated by a large stove in each room and the coal was carried up those long flights of stairs in a hod upon the shoulders of the janitor. The Roosevelt Junior High School This building, now known as the Roosevelt School, Junior High, was built at a cost of S65,000. The High School moved from its congested quarters on the third floor of the South School to this new building at the opening of school in October, 1908. This at first was supposed to be large enough to last for years to come but, alas! with the Compulsory Educational' law compell- ing pupils to go to school until they were sixteen years of age, it soon proved inadequate and the gymnasium had to be sacrificed in order to make two additional class rooms. Even this was not sufficient and for several years there were, of necessity, two The Pride of Middlletown Sessions in One day. the upper classes coming in the morning and the Freshman in the afternoon.

So great was the necessity that it was occupied in September, 1923. while the work for its completion was still going on. The splendid gymnasium. the beautiful auditorium. the wonderful tquipment for science and household arts on the third floor, and the spacious cafeteria on the fourth floor are worthy of special mention. Thcrc is a corps of forty-six teachers at work with an enrollment of about one thousand students. a strong contrast to our first High School. All of this shows how wide awake Middletown is when making provision for educational facilities. 0 llllllllllllllllllllllllllllllIllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll llllllllllIlllllllIlIlllllllIIlllllllllIllllllIllllIllIIIllllIllllllllllllllllllllllllI Five Q PTIMIST R. W. SOLOMON Sffperintevzdent of Schools The class of '26 extends its greeting to Mr. Solomon, the Superintendent of Middletown Schools. Not only the students of M. H. S., but Middletown in general is indebted to him, for his untiring efforts in behalf of Education. 9 0 IllllllllllllllllllllllllIllIlllllIllllllllllllllIIlllllIllllllllllllllllllllllllllll lllllllllllllllIlllllllllllllllIlllllllllllllllIIIIIIIIllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll Six 2 PTI1VfIST Illllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllln., -.-lllllllllll P.

CRIST IlllllllIlllllIllllllIlllllllllIllIllllllllllllllllllllllIllIllllllllllllllllllllllll AllIllIllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll i o. llllIllIlllllllllllllllllllllIll Seven Q PTIKIST Education How important is education? Spencer says, Education prepares us for complete living. Education has made men leaders, at all times and in all places. In the ages before the time of Christ, the leaders of the people were men with executive ability increased by their learning. In the lowest type of mankind, the tribes of the innermost jungles of Africa, the medicine man, most learned of his people, is feared and respected by all, even the chieftain. Education has made nations, lack of education has destroyed them. Who, but an educated man, trained in his work, would have been able to outwit the powerful Trojan nation. Yet a Greek did, and by his knowledge a nation was destroyed. At all times education and learning have been the mainstays of nations. When the Chinese refused to accept new learning, they fell from their mighty position as leader of the world, to a nation unable to protect itself. Likewise, Egypt, Persia, India, and many others were thrown from a position of power because they refused new learning. The greatest men of the world have been well-educated men. Napoleon, Bismark, Metternich, the greatest political leaders of Europe -all were learned men. In the first forty years of our own history every president who served had a college education. Abraham Lincoln, though self-educated, a very learned man, was asked by a friend to what he attributed his success. My friend, he replied, education The children of today are indeed fortunate in securing an educa- tion. A hundred years ago, only a few children were able to complete the public schools and fewer still the high school, while a very small minority ever saw the inside of a college or university. There were no laws compelling parents to send their children to school. Children were sent out to Work at an early age. Many cities had no free public schools. Yet within a hundred years a great change has come. Education is no longer some vague idea or dream. It is a reality. Everyone now may have an education. The laws of our states decree that one must be eighteen years of age before one can leave school. We have one of the best high schools in the country, equipped with the latest apparatus. So, now everyone can get an education and by so doing, increase their chances for success. What more would one wish? O 0 Eight Faculty nl msla. I S Ii E, 4 I:-I 'La --. up nll. fffk 4 ' 3 i'5'Z-. . .

THE FACULTY Schools can be schools without pupils, Or buildings, or books, but we own That a school that can do without teachers Is a kind that has never been known. If schools were but wood-sheds or shanties, The pupils would not really care, But a school that hasn't some teachers, And a principal, just isn't there! A school just must own a faculty, Principal, teachers, and deans, Just as countries have to be ruled By presidents, princes, or queens. So we write to tell of their greatnessg May their glory never be less! Here's to the teachers of our school, The teachers of M. H. S.! L. C. D. 0 Seventeen Classes I m I: i9gX!a.IIEHl! If!

'lGooFn,1-' 'X f 5 H, -x Dear Readers and Friends: Four long years ago this class entered the old building on the corner of Clark and Third streets. Here it spent the first year of its high school career. It plodded daily on through trials and tribulations, trying to do its best in a building too small and insuhiciently equipped for nine hundred students. The next year the wonderful new high school was sufficiently finished for occupation. Here with a magnificent environment, this class took on new zeal and earnestness. It determined to make the most of its opportunities, For three hard years it studied faithfully, although once in a while it gave the teachers cause for complaint. Under their successful guidance and with their ever-ready help, this class has reached the termination of its successful career. We, the students of this class, want to express our thanks for the knowledge we have here re- ceived and to wish those following in our steps as success- ful a finish as we have had.

H. S. as fresh- men. We had a great advantage over all other freshmen be- cause our high school was new and the other classes were too busy getting acquainted with the building to give much atten- tion to hazing green freshies. So we passed through our fresh- man year. As sophomores We took revenge for the little hazing we received, upon those unfortunate freshmen. We sent several successful candidates to the fields of sports. This year as juniors We have enjoyed our best year at M. H. S. We have representatives in every activity in school. We gave a very successful play and have had good luck in all We attempted. Now We are ready for our senior year with high hearts and high hopes. We shall not fail.

Sure, if there were no sophomores, there would be no seniors in a couple of years, remarks a sarcastic senior. But, the sophomore year is the hardest year of the Whole high school course. Almost any senior will admit that. In the United States, more students drop out of school during the second year of high school than at any other time before college. So our Sophs have pluck and plenty of it, for there is a better Soph class this year than M. H. S. has ever seen. More athletes and better ones, more students and better ones, and etc. Not much can be said of a Soph. He is neither starting nor Hnishing. But he is half way through or at least ending the beginning! He can look forward to what is yet to come with !7 some comfort of mind. Just think, Sophs ! Next year we'll get a personal invite to the Junior-Senior!

But look out you Sophs ! The Freshmen aren't under in anything but years. This year they lead in number of Honor Roll Students, Banking Students and just about everything else. The Freshies are the liveliest bunch in the school and they mean business. You Sophs have probably heard that blue and yellow make green. The Frosh don't seem to be blue-they've got the pep of all the rest of the school put together, they certainly aren't yellow-why, they'll tackle any job in the school, so where do the Sophs get that green stuff? With this bunch of lively Freshmen, look what kind of a product we will have three years from now! If you wish them good luck, which you do if you're a booster, come out and show it!

A representative and an alternate are sent from each home room and in meetings held every two weeks discuss the weighty and necessary problems of the school. The representative conveys his message to his classmates and the wheels move. The aim of the Student Senate is to make Middletown High School a cleaner and better school. 0 Sixty-nine Q PTIMIST ,.,.. , S .,.,. i ,i ,I , W... I .

At the usual Freshman reception they graciously welcomed the first year girls into M. H. S. At Christmas time the girls distributed baskets of food and toys among fourteen poor families of Middletown. They also sent food to the Garfield Mission. They gave a very enjoyable party to the high school girls who are newcomers to Middletown. Several prominent citizens talked to them on timely subjects. They have made it their aim to bring cheer to the poor and shut-ins not only at Christmas time but throughout the year. 0 IIllIlllllllllIIlllllllllIllIllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllli IllllllllllllllllllllllIllllIllIIIIIIIlllllllIllIIllIIIllIIlllllllIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIHI Seventy Y' E Y ,, 'Q gh Q BOYS' HI-Y CLUB THOMAS DANNER, President ROBERT HAYES, Vice President ALVIN DE1ss, Secretary CHARLES SEBALD, Treasurer Barker, Elmer Ralston, George Buehl, Paul Rupp, Paul .23a2?'3f.i32:f:.

H. S. is the Civics Club. It is composed of Freshmen students of Hygiene and Civics. Their object is the study of health promoting conditions in the factories and mills of Middletown. They have derived much pleasure from their trips to The Sanitary Milk Company, The Post Ofiice and the various mills of the city. Early in the year Mrs. Karuchio, of the Hungarian Mission, gave them a very interesting talk about her work among her own people. With their excellent mottoes and posters they shall surely become valuable citizens.

S. and has already proved itself a very worthwhile organization. Under the efficient leadership of Miss Metzler, assisted by Miss Roudebush and Miss Hoover, the club has helped materially in encouraging the freshmen to continue the study of Latin. All of the meetings of the club prove very interesting and educational to the members. Familiar songs are sung in Latin, games pertaining to Latin, both enter- taining and instructive, are played. Posters have been made to show how much Latin is still used and to make Latin seem alive. Regular meetings are of 45 minutes duration, but for special occasions such as Thanksgiving, Christmas, Valentine Day, and Easter, the meetings are extended and a party is enjoyed with a social time and refreshments of some kind. 0 lllllllllllllllllllllllllIllllIllIIlllllllllllllIllllllllllIIllllllllllllllllllllllll AllllIllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllIllllllllllllllllllllllllllIlllllllll Seventy-Five Q PTIMIST Adams, Nellie Augspurger, Oleda Bailey, Paul Bennett, Zelma Brooks, Betty Busseer, Ruth Butterfield, Ralph Carter, Mary Cleaver, Vergalene Conn, Vivian Cope, Sally Danford, Esther Day, Bonnie Dennis, Jacob FRENCH CLUB Miss METZLER Miss ELDRIDGE Miss DAUB BETTY LEE, President BETTY SEBALD, Vice-President RICHARD MILLER, Secretary Dinkelacker, Helen Doench, Dorothy Eagle, Mildred Faust, Anna Fraley, Gladys Freeze, Jonathan Faye, Elizabeth Gerber, Clara Hawkins, Clarice Honaker, Dorothy Hoover, Helen Hovel, Carl Johnson, Charles Kerschbaum, Elsie Latimer, Elizabeth FRENCH CLUB Lee, Betty Lenhar, Eva Martin, Jane Mathews, Ruth Miller, Richard Oglesby, Nathan Palmer, Alma Poffenbarger, Helen Price, Lenora Rhoades, Harold Roberts, Audrey Sebald, Betty Vice, Winona Watson, Hattie Williamson, Mary Le Cercle Francais is surely succeeding in its purpose of increasing the interest in French in M.

All Cicero and Virgil students are eligible and at the beginning of the second semester all Caesar students having an average of A. All parliamentary formality is carried on in Latin. Reports, topics on Ancient and Modern Rome, and speeches fill the programs. There have been several special speakers, our principal, Mr. Miller, being one of these. One of the most interesting meetings this year was the initiation meeting. The officers were in Roman togas, Room 302 was darkened and candles were litg on the desk lay a scroll which is the constitution of the club, beside it was ink and a Roman quill. The members were brought into the room in groups of six or seven and swore to keep the constitution and obey the Gods. After the more serious part was finished there was a list of questions asked and the answers were amusing to the point of hilarity. As has been said the purpose of the club is to stimulate interest in Latin and the least to be said in its favor is that it has been highly successful. O 0 Seventy-eight Q PTIMIST MR.

This Club is formed of students interested in Bible study and the discussion of theology. Anyone may belong though most of the members are pupils of the Bible classes. The greatest event of this year was a Pageant presented by the members. The organization meets bi-weekly and, though definite programs are, of course, planned, much of the time is occupied by discussion and informal debating of topics of general interest on different ideas on theology.

At the meetings talks and discussions are given on the new developments in radio. Often times the topics lead into scientific and theoretical detail but usually they lean more toward the practical side. Radio troubles of the members are brought before the meeting and all possible help and advice is given to the fan. The club urges its members to join the national and international radio clubs, and tries to stimulate scientific and practical ideas on the subject.

Anyone interested in chemistry is eligible though most members are chemistry students. Not only does the club desire the stimulation of interest in chemistry, but it considers the human side and a closer fellowship is the result. Reports, talks, and discussions too lengthy for class time, are not only well given but well received. Experiments by Mr. Valentine, or usually by the pupils themselves under his direction are Very interesting. As far as stimulation of interest is concerned the club is quite a success.

The club has a general meeting each month, the program being furnished by one of the groups. The purpose of the club is to establish friendship among the girls and to serve the school and community. The one big work of the club this year that is worthy of special notice was the sending of Christmas gifts to the Orphans' Home. The money was obtained through the sale of hand-painted Christmas cards designed and painted by the girls of the club.

S. 44 St. Xaviers 0 Middletown football warriors had great success on the gridiron in 1925. About eight regulars graduated from the 1924 squad. This meant a green, inexperienced team for M. H. S. With the boys' cooperation and fighting spirit, Coach Lingrel soon rounded the boys into shape for the first game. Hard work and nothing but hard work gave Middletown a winning team. In the first game of the season, the Middies held the highly touted Morton Hi of Richmond, Indiana, to a 7 to 7 tie. The day was very warm and sultry, but nevertheless the game was full of pep. The Middies seemed somewhat nervous due to lack of experience as this was their first game. In the next game against Stivers, an ancient foe, the Middies were a greatly improved team. Stivers had not as yet been defeated in four years so this promised to be a whiz of a game. Stivers loomed up as Middies' biggest game. With the team in perfect working order the Big Reds handed Stivers its first defeat in four years, to the tune of 14 to 6. This was one of the greatest, snappiest, most exciting games ever played by two High School teams in this part of the state. The Stivers lads put up a great game but not good enough to down us. The U. of D. Preps journeyed here for our next opponents. We were doped to win but Dame Fortune smiled the other way and the Preps walked off the field vic- torious after a hectic battle was staged. The U. of D. Preps came back strong and scored in the last minute of play after we had forged ahead. The game ended Preps 19, M. H. S. 16. Next the Middies journeyed to Findlay. Findlay had a veteran team. The Middle- town warriors put up a great game and did not let Findlay score until the last few minutes of play. In our next game we met Hughes Hi at Cincinnati and handed that team a 17 to 0 trouncing. The big green dragons of Lima Central were next for us. On a very muddy field which handicapped both teams, we defeated the Lima boys 7 to 6. Rain caused the cancellation of the Springfield game. This gave our boys a rest. Next came the jaunt to Miamisburg. The Burgers put up a stellar fight but were conquered by the Middies 7 to 0. Norwood proved to be easy for us and we walked off the field a victor with an overwhelming score of 35 to 0. St. Xaviers were our opponents for the annual Turkey Day game. Again our Big Reds broke loose and indicted a severe 44 to 0 trouncing on the visitors. The Big Reds' backfield, given perfect interference by the line, broke loose for numerous long end runs for more than 30 yards. Several were for 75, 65 and 50 yard gains. We made three more touchdowns which did not count because of a penalty inflicted on one team or the other. O O Ninety-seven WTQPTIKIST Football Q PTIMIST First Team, Football EGBERT SAMPLE, Captain, F. B. Hook was Captain of our victorious football team of '25, It was he who put all the pep into the boys when the luck was against them. This is Hook's last year with us and we are very sorry to see him go. ST. CLAIR LEAVELL, H. B. Sinky was another one of our mainstays. It was he who carried the ball across the line that was necessary to beat Stivers. Sinky was chosen as All-Ohio half back, so you know Sinky was pretty good. RICHARD LAYER, H. B. Say! Look at that boy go around that end with that ball!! Who was that boy? Why that's Dick Layer, one of the best end runners in the State. Dick was always on the job when a gain was to be gotten around either end. TOM WILSON, Q. B. This was the first year that Tommy had charge of the barking of the signals, but he made good at it. As he has two years yet we expect much of him before he leaves M. H. S. CORBETT MANNING, R. E. JOHN JACK This was Corbett's first year on the team, but like the rest of the boys he did his part of the work. He was always on the job and delivered his stuff. We will always miss his face on the team next year as he graduates. HAGAN, R. T. Jack was always on the job, and you can just bet all you've got that he got his man whenever he came his way. Jack also leaves this year, and we will surely miss him. STUTZ, R. G. Jack was the big boy who played on the line. Now don't mind the laughs about your looking awkward, Jack, you held your part of the line and then some. Jack will be back next year and we will look for his face on the line. MONROE DAVIS, C. Rocky is the midget of the team, but when it comes to doing his share of the work, he is just as big as the rest of them, in other words, Rocky is small but mighty. He was elected Captain for next year. SAM SELBY, L. G. Sam is another one who just finished playing his first year on the eleven. He was always there to fill his hole on the line. Sam will be back again next year, so we will get to see him again in football togs. EUGENE GROSS, L. T. Gene was a veteran and he sure played like one. If he wasn't at left tackle, he would be found at left end filling Yock's place whenever he was out of the game. Gene was always there withlthe stuff so we will sure miss him next year. HAROLD JACOBS, L. E. Yock was another one of the veterans. It seems as if he had all the good luck against him last year, as he was on the hospital list most of the time, but when Yock did play he was there with all the vim and fighting spirit he had. 0 IllllIIllllllIIllllllllllllllIlllllIllIIllIllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll llllllllllllllllllllllllllllIlllllllIlllllllllIllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll Ninety-nine WFQPTIKIST Basketball Q PTIMIST First Team, Basketball WILLIAM JORDAN, Captain, R.

Sol is the boy who was able to keep our enemies from dribbling down the floor and putting the ball in the basket a good many times. He was one of the best guards that was ever seen at M. H. S. 0 One Hundred One Q PTIMIST Basketball The Purple and White cagers representing M. H. S. in 1925-26 was perhaps the fastest team Middletown has had for many years. The team was composed mostly of last year's second team. Jordan and Hayes at forwards, Ryan at center, Wilson and Schneider at guards composed the quintet that carried our team through a season of 14 games with 10 victories and 4 defeats. Losing the initial game to Otterbein, the team rapidly developed into a real scoring combination and defeated such teams as East High of Columbus, Roosevelt, Lima, Libby, Xenia, Eaton and Stivers. Jordan was high point man with Ryan running a close second. Hayes and Wilson showed best as floor men, while Schneider capably held down the back guard position. Layer, Sample and Carmody were often used in the role as subs. The M. H. S. second team again went through the entire season without a defeat. Ryan, Purcell, Teckmeyer, Blumberg and Hodshire had first call. while they were ably assisted in each game by W. Wilson, Barker, Shipp, James and Wooster. THE SEASON'S SCORES M. H.

Those who witnessed the interclass basket ball games saw both these qualities displayed. Let us give three cheers to the Seniors who have once again carried their class to victory. We should be proud of these boys who fought hard through every game, always showing their sportsmanship and fair play. Second place has gone to the Sophomores who represented their class in the best possible manner. Only by a very narrow margin did these valiant boys lose a coveted victory. Their turn is coming! The Juniors have taken third place in these battles. We ask ourselves why? It wasn't because they didn't work, for they did. Perhaps they will be victors in the year to come! The Freshies come in fourth. Though a losing team, they fought hard to the last. We must compliment the Freshies in showing their sportsmanship, for it is easy to be a good winner but hard to be a good loser. They yet have time to show what they can do!

Some of the boys have won theirs in football, some in basketball, some in baseball. Only one boy got his letter and did not partake of either of the above mentioned athletics. This boy won his by his eflicient service as Student Manager of M. H. S. during the year of 1925-26. Each year some new faces are added to this group of boys and each year some are missing. This group will continue as long as there are inter-scholastic athletic relations with other schools. O One Hundred Three Q PTIKIST HELEN MCCORMICK MARGARET JOHNSON Girls' Athletic Director and Coach Athletic Manager Girls' Athletics Basketball is the outstanding sport for girls in our High School. Interclass teams are the most popular. Interscholastic games are opposed by the school oflicials. More schools of this size are coming to see that it is the worst kind of sport for girls. It is hard on girls from a physical, mental and moral point of view. It is more physical straining than physical training. This year they played one round of interclass basketball. Each year the teams show more skill in playing as proved by the Senior team which has come to the fore- ground after being at the bottom of the ladder for a couple of years. Their sports- manship and spirit have enabled them to produce a winning team. These girls have shown their liking and understanding of the game since the time they entered High School. The Sophomore team shows determination to be successful one of these days. Although they have been a little unsuccessful in making baskets they are not giving up hope that they will be a winning team in the future. It is this determination and spirit of good sportsmanship that will bring the teams to the top of the ladder. The Freshmen have made a splendid beginning. Their pass work and cooperation lead us to expect much from them in the future. The Senior-Junior girls played the preliminary for the Middletown-Stivers game. This was played for the love of the game and is not counted towards the championship. Indoor baseball is another sport the girls like to play. Teams were chosen from the four classes. The winning team being entertained by the losers. Many girls show ability of being good players. So we hope to make this a leading game in the future. A foul shooting contest is to be held this year. The girls took part in the one held in Hamilton last year and one of them held second place. The girl shooting the most baskets will be awarded with a trophy. Volley Ball, Newcomb Ball, Four Corner Kick Ball and other games are to be played. These games are open to all the girls in the school and as many teams as can be formed will compete against each other.

One night before I went to bed, I ate a great big meal. It went right to my heady It's pains I still feel. A funny dream was mine that night, I swear I'll never forget. I sure saw a wonderful sight, And funny people I met. Ten years elapsed in that dream. The class was ten years older, too. Queer to me it did seem, Listen! I'll tell it to you. The people I met, by the way Were in some occupation. Each one's work funny to say, Fit his school time reputation. Harold Jacobs was a football coach, He got a lot of fame, But he hadn't changed a bit, It was old Yock just the same. Dorothy Knorr was a movie queen. I saw her at the Strand, Boy! She treated the Villain mean. And Dot herself was grand. 1936 The villain I spoke of was William Ford. He certainly did look tough. Like real villains he was always bored, And believe me he sure was rough. Homer Moore was in the show. The hero of the play. The grandest looking man I know, Of him the girls all say. ' Ruth Sims the Scenario wrote, To raise a thrill she didn't fail. The title was the Sinking Boat, It sure was a snappy tale. The music was grand that afternoon. As I left the show at half past one I passed the box of'Hce door. There I saw Grace Alderton Selling tickets by the score. As I mozied down the street, Betty Brooks to me did beckon. Said she, I want you to meet My little boy, Alvin II. Right under a red light I wandered slow, A husky voice cried stop. Oh! But then he let me go, Clyde Thompson was the cop. Once more my walk I began, And I felt a hungriest ravage. I went into a hot dog stand, Which was run by Edna Savage. Then I sat down on a stool, And reached into my jeans. This place reminded me of school, Gene Gross brought in a plate of beans. As I sat there I felt like yelling, Someone stepped upon my toes. It was Robert Edmonds who was selling Polar cakes to Eskimoes. When Bob and I had finished our gab, It was starting to rain, So I climbed into a taxicab. The driver was Marvin shane. I read a paper that was lyng near, The Franklin Chronicle by name. Lloys Bracken was editor for now a year, But I read it just the same. As I rode for about a block, We had to call a repair man. The engine-it began to knock. The mechanic was Raymond Sherman. It wouldn't run, we had to park, Margaret Gebhart played with all her might, Gosh, but I was sore. She sure shaked a wicked tune, Then I saw Virginia Clark, It certainly filled me with delight. Working in Murphy's store. o IlIIIIlllllllllllllllllllIlllllllllIIllIllllllllIlllllllllIIIllllllllllllllllllllllll llllllllllllllllllIllllllllllllllllllllllllllIIllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll One Hundred Ten I thought I'd go to Gordon's then, To see a pretty good show. I thought I'd die when- The usher was F. G. Barlow. There was an act on the bill, I thought it was Bushman 8: Bayne, Their dancing sure gave me a thrill. Their real names were Smith and Duane. Evelyn Upton was with an acrobatic team. Boy! She did some daily dozen, As she worked, she would scream So's your old man's cousin. The stage hand's son wandered out in the house He was a bashful little boy, Just as quiet as a mouse. He said his dad was Paul McCoy. A man came down amon the crowd Yelling, Get your chews. His voice was so very loud I knew it was Richard Mathews. Frank Nitterhouse was in the orchestra pit, Blowing his trumpet sweet. Next to him did Parramore sit. Paul was making his clarinet tweet. When it was over, I went out With the rest of the people, To my surprise I saw Clarence Daudt Across the street painting a steeple! It was just about half past four, Some one gave me some inquiring looks, It proved to be Arnetta Moore, She was selling telephone books. 4 Q PTIMIST I went to a fountain to get a drink. I saw a familiar face. It was Paul Masoner, and what do you think! He was a missionary to a far away place. Paul and I had quite a chat. Will wonders never cease- It was from him I learned that Karl Kerschbaum was chief of police. Then I saw Alberta Beier, She was living on a farm. Some one suddenly cried out Hire. But it was only a false alarm. The department came rushing to the scene, I shouted, Oh my, good grief. A man came up all dressed in Green, Bill Anderson it was-the chief. The excitement was over and I wanted to eat, So I bought a few corn fritters. Boy! They sure were a treat, And made by Harry Witters. One of these fritters stuck in my throat, It caused a terrible cough. Some one passing gave me a note Which directed me to Dr. Gough. Dr. Gough couldn't help at all, I couldn't get my breath, Down to the ground I began to fall, Then I choked to death. I was as scared as I could be I thought that I was dead. I had fallen so you see, But it was out of bed.

Nos szproeefz lo if-, 20045 am. Paige- IO'i'PEf Le, Charleston Contest The Charleston is becoming more and more popular. The very same teachers, who a few months ago criticized the stu- dents for falling victims to this craze now heartily endorse it. A month ago Mrs. Compton put her foot right down on it, and now her feet are lifted in the rythmatic stride. We hear that Miss Metzler has been secretly practicing ever since the Senior Prom when M. H. S. students exhibited it for the first time. A little bird told me that Mr. Miller shakes a mean hoof. In fact I believe that all the teach- ers are trying to learn it. Karl Kerschbaum has given himself to teaching it. He said that in order to do it right you need not be crazy but it helps a lot. It has been rumored about that a big contest is to be held in the future, and we'll bet that the faculty wll give the students a run for the money. Miss McCray will exhibit the Chicago Charles- tony Mr. Winkleman will show her up with the New York version. Gosh! there will be some keen competition. This dance sure has got 'em all, and the bigger they come the harder they fall. If you want to be popular over night, learn to do the Charleston right. 1-,-,1l-l Civics Club The Civics Club had an im- portant meeting last week. In a few seconds the minutes were read, then as an opener Paul Masoner delivered a fine talk on the Swiss Navy. Lawrence Stubbs told a thrilling story of the Experiences of a Barber in Russia. After his talk, the mem- bers joined their voices in that beautiful ditty, The House of David Blues, by Gillette. Miss Hartmann then took up a collection for the starving Hindus of Hunkeytown and the proceeds, 2 towel checks, 3 but- tons, and 6 pennies was sent to them. Jack Round fainted dur- ing the collection and didn't come to until it was over. As a closing number Bill Anderson in his usual style delivered Ten Barrooms In One Nite, that pathetic little ballad known to everyone. Watch for the next meeting.

At the clothier's convention recently held at Blue Ball, Notlim Resom was judged the best dressed man. This honor was given him be- cause he always wears just the right suit at the right time. This voung man appeared at one of our school dances in the appropriate thing, of course, and caused great consternation among our fair sex. At one time he exhibited a fine marcelg now fashion decrees that it will be- come the head-dress for men. His is a very responsible position because his slightest whim may be accepted as the newest fashion. He is not safe near a group of girls and it is said that he carries a club to beat them off. Per- haps, dear reader, you did not know that such a person existed in our school. It is true, however, and he asked us to keep his real name a secret. Since he is so modest and backward fthere's your cuej he has disguised himself as Notlim Resom. , l.il- School Notes John Thunn has been greatly hon- ored in the musical world. He is to play a concert before the School of Deaf Mutes in Siberia. Good luck, John. Louise Anders entertained the Old Maids Club last week. Every one re- ports a pleasing time. This is a re- cently organized club in which all the Man Haters of the school are en- rolled. Helen Smith was elected presi- dent. Tiddle Winks and the old fash- ioned waltz were the club's diversions. l Big Circus Coming M. H. S. will have a big circus which will appear in Middletown on June 12. Animals have been collected from all parts of the world and all available talent has been secured from the school. Mlle. Floy Grace Barlow, the famous snake charmer, will ex- hibit her pets captured from the wilds of Trenton. Bob fParalyz'emJ Lawson will mix it up with Clarence fBullJ Daudt. The latter is a boxer of renown. It is said he used to box oranges in California. This circus will have its bevy of beautiful cow girls, in the persons of Evelyn Unton, Myrtle Weber, Thelma Hinkle and Vi- vian Johnson. Dick Lair will be the bare back rider. He savs it's just as easy to ride with his shirt off. Paul McCoy is the monkey trainer. His monkeys are trained so well that he has to wear a green suit to tell him from the rest of them. Red Sullivan is the strong man of the show. he is especially noted for his strong feet. Well, we won't tell any more, but the show will have real clowns and everything, so buy a sack of peanuts and come. There will be a big street parade and Milton Moser will play the cali- ope. The price is 1,000,000,000 German marks. Pete Leadman is manager. -ii...

They have stepped out onto what may be termed the threshold of life and are now passing through experiences which we ourselves will some day receive. Worthy of mention and praise is last year's class, for they set a hard pace for the rest of us to follow. We have tried to keep up, if not to raise, their standard. How we succeed remains to be determined. Their work, not only in scholarship, but in all athletics and activities was equally successful. They have left a strong impression upon us. Many of them have gone into different fields of labor. Others have gone to colleges in all parts of the United States. Thus we see how the class has separated. Some who were the closest of friends last year are now the farthest apart. A few have come back to visit our school. They speak of the enormous lessons and diiiiculties they meet since they are thrown out on the world. This, nevertheless, ought not discourage us, but should make us determine more than ever to work harder now so as to be able to meet these problems more easily. Last year's class was one of the largest ever graduated from this school. Best wishes from the Optimist Staff in behalf of the students of M. H. S. May you ever continue successful in your future work. A FLY'S COGITATIONS Oh look! There's the Middletown High School! I would like to get in and visit some of my old friends: Why, there's a window open! Such carelessness! These teachers don't know nearly as much as they think they do. Lucky for me, though, that window is open. Let's see who's in here. Oh, this is Study Hall 109. Wonder what period it is-must be about noon, all the pupils look hungry. I suppose this is the fifth period. Let's see who the teacher is. Why it's Miss Metzler, bless her heart! Best little ole teacher in the building. I'll just have to go over and see her. You know she is the only one in the room who hasn't her hair down over her ears and they make such nice places to sit on. Makes it easier to talk to her, too-Oh, Miss Metzler, did you hurt yourself? Wonder what was the matter, she hit her ear awful hard. Oh, I see Jack Round. Just have to have a visit with him. Why Jack, such actions from a staid old Scotchman like you! He's waving his hands around like he's crazy. There comes Kind Solomon into the room. Wonder what he wants? Coming in to see how his subjects are getting along, I suppose. I'll go talk with him. Why, Mr. Solomon, don't slap yourself like that. You'll hurt yourself one of these days. Wonder why he didn't stay in the room longer. Seems to me he left in an awful hurry. There's James Selby. I think his head would make a dandy skating rink. He keeps his hair so smooth and fiat-there, that was fine, but one slide is enough-goes too fast to suit me. Good thing I lit on his collar. My, but hasn't he a long neck. 'Twould make a nice race track to run around. Believe I'll try it. Now, now, James, don't rub so hardg you might scratch some of the skin off and that would hurt so bad. Well, if there isn't Helen Smith. Let me sit right here on your cheek, Helen and- oh, Helen, don't do that! You'll rub all the color off and then the boys won't like you. Guess I'll go back to the back part of the room and see who's there. Zip! Wheu! That certainly was a close call. Blew me clear across the room, ought to have known better than to be near Daniel Eppelsheimer when he starts talking. There's Harry Duane. I hear that he is just back from Florida. Got a nice tan, didn't he? Rather red, maybe its sunburn. I must go over closer and see-Harry, fer Gosh Sake don't hit so hard. You almost hit me and besides I should think it would hurt you if your face is really sunburned. Well, here's Monroe Davis. 'Lo, Rocky. How's me ole pal? Don't move about so. I like to sit on a Hrmer place. You don't act as though you are at all glad to see me. I didn't know you were so nervous, your hand shakes so I can hardly hold on. Did you ever try Doctor Miles' Nervine, Rocky, or Konjola? Everybody's using it and they praise it to the skies. Maybe it will help you-I think I'd better leave, you are too nervous. There's that pest, Solomon Schneider. I heard Miss Molter say, last week, that he was worse than Principal Miller for nerve. I'll just have to go over and see what mischief he is up to now-biff-oh, Sol, how could you! Poor old Sol. I bet it hurt, didn't it, Sol? Next time don't hit so hard.

And the careful investors are choosing the SERVEL. They choose the SERVEL because they realize that for years THE ELEC- TRIC SHOP has tested and investi- gated every known electric refrigera- tion outlit. When this concern offers you the SERVEL, it does so because SERVEL is the outstanding device for the purpose. Careful investors choose the SERVEL because it offers conspicuously greater values. SERVEL and THE ELECTRIC SHOP have enabled even the most modest homes to enjoy electric re- frigeration. And finally, careful investors choose the SERVEL because they know they are dealing with the world's leading merchandiser of electric appliances- an institution with the knowledge, the experience, and the stability to as- sure satisfaction with your purchase throughout the years to come.
