Student Senate A Farce Place: In 113. Time: 3:05. Seene: Senators are drifting in slowly. A few of them anxiously consult their watches, but not. until 3:15 are all settled. Bill Storer consults each concerning what home room he represents, the door is closed, and, after each senator has stopped his Wriggling, Mr. Winkelman takes his usual stand at the back of the room near the windows. Bob Herman fhe's president! rises and bangs lustily on the desk. BOB: The meeting will please come to order. Joseph Copp, your gum will please be removed. The secretary will read the report of the last meeting. Pl-IYLLYS: irising from her desk near the windows. She searches frantically through a large notebook, and after some time, extracts a paper from which she reads in a singsong voice: My darling Phyllys, I can't live without you. Your eyes haunt me night and day. They are so- fshe stops in embarrassment. as every one roars with laughterb. Oh, I got the wrong one! Here it is. The student senate of Middletown High School met Saturday, February 31, 1909, in room 113 for their usual business meeting. After the reading of t.he minutes and the usual procedure, Herb Spade asked the question, 'Why is the ice cream so cold?' This was answered by Mr. Winkelman in a fifteen minute address on 'The Life of a Book Worm! Briefiy the answer is thus: Because the soup's so hot. No other questions were brought up, and we adjourned at four o'clock. fShe sits clownj. BOB: You have heard the minutes read. Are there any corrections? MR. VV.: Yes. I talked not on The Life of a Book Worm , but Why Bob Day Is So Collegiate . BOB: Thank you. Any other correctons or additions? If not, the minutes stand ap- proved read. Any old business?

This causes serious.reHection. for with each succeeding year new faces come. and old familiar ones disappear in the stream of life, as mankind marches on. when they depart we wonder. Whither bound?- Then as the years come and go, and we remain in the house by the side of the roadii. we observe that men travel as they think. Wie are today where our thoughts have brought us. ive will be tomorrow where our thoughts will take us. Wle cannot escape this result. We will rise. remain. or fall with our thoughts. Life will be what we make it. for in our hands are placed the exact results of our thoughts. no more, no less. Our school life has been pleasant in its associations. and successful in its achieve- ments. YVe have labored hard and long to accomplish the desires of our hearts. Our football team was animated by this csontrolling desire. Our basketball team realized the vision of their hearts. Our debating teams won great renown because of their dominant aspiration to succeed. Our Middletonian and Optimist stalls have experi- enced the thrill and glory of renown. Excellence in achievement has been the goal of our dramatic clubs, but not without great labour. Our band, orchestra. and glee clubs have added their lustre to the glory of achievement. Scholastically our students are welcomed in any college and are making good everywhere, just as they succeeded in high school: some good, others better. and some not so good. according to the desire of their hearts. The foundation of it all is the desire to succeed. As you have thus thought and laboured together during your school days, so may you dream and strive to make your dreams come true in all your days to be. May your life be rich. full, free. and abundant. Hay you achieve that which you desire most. May you gravitate toward the things you love, and have strength sufficient to accomplish every worthwhile task assigned you. 1 wish for each of you every good thing that you may desire for yourself. Affectionately, WADE E. MILLER. I 7 1 Message from Coach The 1931 football season is now his- tory, but long will it stand out in our memories as one of the greatest in many years. No team in the past had so many boys who could do so many things well. Our blocking was better, our running more deceptive, and our passing attack far superior to any previous season. The Lockland game gave our practi- cally new team just the right kind of work-out to prepare us for the Kiser game the next Saturday. The Kiser game, to my way of seeing things, was the best game of the season. We were harder pressed in that game than the score indicates. The following Satur- day we were to meet Steele of Dayton. Steele had the heaviest team, perhaps. in the State. We had very little hope of doing anything to their line, particularly their tackles. who weighed 208 and 216 pounds. Our only hope was going around end. You, who saw the game, will remember the long jaunts by Romans and McMann. Wendt and Strong gave as good a demonstration of blocking in that game as any one could hope to see. Our better running attack and the completion of a fine forward pass found us leading, 19 to T, at the end of the game. For years we have been fearing Hughes, our next. week's opponent. Hughes had its best team in years, an d we were all set for another real battle. Had Hughes been permitted possession of the ball more in that game, they would have caused us no little trouble. They had a good running attack but were quite weak defensively. We surprised our- selves more than we did them by win- ning 45 to 7. Lioej The season was half over and from the fact we had met with such success, our followers had begun to predict an un- defeated season. This feeling, I think, crept into the team. The things we had been doing so well up to t.his time were conspicuous by their absence at Ports- mouth. Don't forget, however, that the Portsmouth team was mostly responsible for our lack of doing things, as in the previous games. Their team was by far the best we had met. They were a well coached, good blocking, great defensive team, and that day, de- served to win. We came home, of course, with heads bowed, but not dis- couraged. Lima Central, the fol- lowing Saturday, met a different and better team and was defeated, 41 to X 0. While we were doing 1 g battle with Lima Central, ' Roosevelt, our next opponent, was downing Stivers, 24 to 13. We had not met Roosevelt in three years and to learn they had handed Stivers such a drubbing looked anything but promising for us. The Portsmouth defeat was still doing good. We had no trouble defeating Roosevelt, 38 to O. After eight years we were to renew athletic relations with our ancient rival, Hamilton, the following Saturday. No doubt a good many people went to that game expecting a renewal of scenes which took place several years ago on our own Field. We had a beautiful day, no disturbances whatever. and a good ball game. I have nothing but praise for the fine way which our boys conducted themselves on the field and I shall always remember that fighting spirit of the Ham- ilton players. We won this year, but re- member, next year is another year. Let's get ready now! ,ff 3, .N .lv sf. at s 5 ff Athletic Board Elmo Lingrel, Athletic Director Rayner Greene, Basketball Coach J. F. Winkelman, Athletic Manager Alheri Hamm, Student Manager H071 Paul Lawson, Captain Captain Lawson's migration from guard to end this season only added to his importance in the Middie attack. Early in the season, Ruben mastered the art of snagging passes out of the ozone, and many touchdowns were scored by him via the air. But his work was not limited to catching passes, for he was also well versed in blocking and tackling, and many an opposing tack1er's weary condition was due to Lawson's sock 'em and rock 'em tactics. Men like Lawson are hard to find, and Coach will have a hard time replacing him. Earl Kinney Although this was Earl's first year as a regular, he played like a veteran. Kinney had an innate propensity for getting in the road of those enemy short line jabs, and he made a general nuisance of himself by being here, there, and everywhere. The bottom of the pile was usually Earl's favorite position, and he was also an efficient blocker and tackler. In the Portsmouth game, Kinney played his best, and got many tackles by kniting through the Trojan's forward wall. Paul Diver A guard does a lot of work on a football team and gets little of the glory, and Paul Diver is an excellent example of this. His second year on the squad. but his first as a regular, proved Diver to be a real linesman. Pulling out of the line for interference, and going down under punts were his specialties, but his hard tackling on the line gained him the name of Morphine . His performance at Portsmouth was excellent. Diver had more than his share of guts and very seldom complained of his injuries. John Carmody Irish , following in the steps of his brother, held down an end position this year in a Hrst class manner. Although John was our lightest linesman. his end was hard to skirt, and was very seldom passed. He always played a good game and his foes rarely got the best of him. No matter how hard the game, it seemed as if Irish never tired, for he was usually the first man back after a touchdown. Carmody played especially well against Steele's big veteran tackle. fiosi X . .M Merle Wendt Although only a junior, Merle was this year a seasoned veteran, and surpassed his fine record of last year. Becoming the Iron Man of his team, he played through out nearly every game. His slashes off tackle made many a needed yard, and nearly always a first down when it was needed most. As a forward pass receiver, he doted on those short heaves over the line, especially in the Roosevelt game when he tallied three touchdowns. Merle covered his zone in fine fashion, and played a good consistent game. Stanley Armitage Forced out of the game by injuries in the Washington Court House skirmish, Stan was on the bench for several weeks., Shrimp's loss was a hard blow to the Middies, as he was one of our most efficient backs. Stan was a sure tackler, a consistent blocker, and a good ball carrier. What he lacked in size, he more than made up in punch and aggressiveness. The opposing backfield men, to their sorrow, always knew when mighty Shrimp made the tackle. Gerald Horn The pivot position on any football team is a difficult spot to handle, but Jerry took care of it in line fashion. His was no easy task, roving behind the line, responsible as a full back for backing up the line and downing passes. Horn's accurate passes from center did much toward making the season a success. When the pigskin was deep in Middle territory, Jerry could be depended on to catch a loose pass, make smashing tackles, and create a general disturbance for the enemy backs. Harlen Romans All hail! Here's our brilliant speedster, Biscuit , who thrilled us in nearly every game. Once he got around an opposing team's end, it was a sure touchdown, as Steele learned from experience. Despite his lack of weight, Harlen was a dangerous man, and was always in the thick of the battle. He was a constant threat when carrying the ball, and a good defensive back. He also developed ability as a pass receiver, and joined the ranks of those who caught the pigskin heaved from McMann's accurate arm. f109:I Harry Pierce Harry, better known as Big Train , was one of that trio of giant tackles who put the power in the Middie forward wall. Though hampered by injuries at various times during the season, Pierce played real football when he had the chance. His specialty on the defense was sliding through the opposing line to nail the runners for losses. Like many Middie linesmen, he showed up best in defeat, turning in his best performance of the season at Portsmouth's Universal Stadium. Sellurn Alexander Big Sebe , the Middies' gigantic left tackle, was handicapped in the latter part of the season with a bad knee, but nevertheless he has given many an enemy end some bad dreams, looming up above them as he did. His work against Steele was only one example of his stellar defensive ability and when a play was called through his position, Alexander usually mowed down a hole large enough to drive a horse and wagon through. Mighty Sebe will be a big loss to M. H. S. next- year. Trumon Gray Trumon is that lanky, husky tackle, who planted himself in the right side of the line to stay. There were very few ends who could move him. He is one of the seven reasons for the small number of iirst downs made against M. H. S. Interference meant little to Trumon. If he couldn't move the opposing end, he would just stretch out those long arms of his and gather the end, ball carrier, and any other enemy that happened to be near him into his grasp. Art Strong Dude was the big triple threat back of the Lingrel combination, and he will be remembered especially for his hard, clean playing, both on the offense and defense. Strong's specialty was a hard smashing drive through the line, and on many an occasion, yardage gained from his line bucks secured a needed extra yard. Most of the punting was done by Art, and at making kickolfs, he was seldom surpassed. He was particularly outstanding in the Portsmouth game. 51101 Alfred Dean Although he didn't get into many of the games this season, Dean took advantage of every opportunity, and made his presence felt in the lineup on every occasion. Al developed into an excellent blocker and tackler, and his smashing style of play ruined many an opposing backfield jaunt. His stick-to-it-iveness made him a good end, and had the season lasted longer, Dean would no doubt have seen more active service. Ernest Gehm Ernest was another of the Purple guards, and he was all that his name implies. Suifering from an injured ankle, Ernie was kept out of several games during the season, but when he did play, he made his presence felt. He possessed a do or die spirit in the games, and it was very seldom that an opponent took him out of the picture. In the Steele game he did some very good work, and his stellar defensive and offensive tactics did much toward putting the score on our side of the ledger. Tony Likiarthis Besides being a first-class ball snapper, Tony was a valuable man on defense, where his ability to diagnose plays aided him in intercepting passes and stopping running plays. In the Washington C. H. game, it was Tony who snagged the pass which paved the way for the final touchdown. Kicking off when Strong was not in the lineup, Tony consistently booted the oval far down the field. Although light, he always gave his utmost, playing a steady game at. all times. J. B. MCMSIIH ' McMann, whose excellent generalship played a prominent part in the team's success, is gifted as a place-kicker, runner, and passer. A spinner play or delayed buck was his specialty, and carried him many yards. When the ball had been pushed across the goal-line, it was usually the stocky quarterback who heaved the pass or booted the goal for the extra point. His dynamic presence will be missed next year. for no matter how tough the sledding, Jason's chatter always encouraged his teammates. 51111 A 'H ' 5 N 4,' .bf XX I-lf' ff ' . , 4 or ,f f ' Y fl AJ Y. J ff- ,f J' ' ,ft N -. ft I 5 , it -'Xxx '- N X! lk , i N . ' ' Harry Burnett X.. ,' X F Nr ' x '- ' This is Tooty's first year at practical work on the tekani. He did himself credit in many games and should be one of the key men in next-year's eleven. Qurnett played the brand of football that is so desirablein a backtield man. He is a sure tackler and a good blocker. As a fast and elusive ballfcarrier, he coul nearly always be depended upon for a gain. Tooty played particularly well rat rtsmouth, and next year will greatly enjoy getting revenge-2 for the defeat.X X' X ' ' ' X x I l X, Howard Ward ' A X- tx X' Ward is the flashy quarterback who spurred the second' team on to victory. Also as relief man for McMann he put the grand finale on many 'of our victories. Not only is he fast and elusive, but he worked well on both ends of forward passes. Ward took particular delight in running back punts and kick offs and he achieved much success in this capacity. Although not a letter man, he is one of the M. H. S. hopes for the future. Harold Knepshielfl Harold saw much service this year, although he was not a letterman. He is the second Knepshield to shine on the gridiron. A hard-driving back, he plays hard and always shows a determined spirit. He is a splendid blocker and tackler, and also can be expected to gain consistently. In practice Harold caught many of those passes that worried the regular backtield. He will be here again next year. Walkei' Lewis Walker has been on the squad for three years, and this is his last for M. H. S. He played well at guard and helped the team to go through the season so successfully. There wasn't a time in the play that he wasn't shoving his way to the front in defense. An aggressive and determined linesman, he showed much ability and initiative in his game. Walker liked particularly well to b1'eak up the sho1't line bucks. f112j 1 'X lf , .Y thllxlx - . Dan Corson Fessler was that long, lanky Hankman that just would not let. them pass. Corson wasn't a driving sort of player, but always managed to stop them at the scrimmage line. This was Dan's first year on the team, but he played like a veteran. Dan's energy and likeable spirit made him one of the most popular boys on the squad. He did his part valiantly toward stopping the Portsmouth machine and showing the Middie punch in the last quarter. He also did some good work in the Lima Central game. Leroy Heller Heller was the man Coach called upon time and again to replace a Middie linesman, or to bolster up the line when the regulars tired from the battle. Heller's slashing tactics and hard charging made many a first team linesman uncomfortable in scrimmage against the reserves. He possesses a ready wit and kept the squad in good spirits on many of the out of town games. It is impossible to pick the game in which he played his best, for he was always at his best. John Riner Although he saw little actual service, Johnny contributed much to the success of the team this year. Riner was one of those fighting substitutes who were Coach's best helpers, and at Lincoln Field he was one of those men who gave the Varsity their workouts, and who kept the regulars fighting for their positions. Riner was somewhat of a utility linesman, but he did his best work at guard. He will be back to help form the Purple machine next year. Frank Saylor Frank played half-back, and when he got into a game the opponents soon found out he was a tough player. He was a good ball carrier and a determined blocker who always did his best. Because of his size he received many hard knocks, but he always came back for more and put all he had into the game. His skill as a pass receiver made him particularly dangerous. l113:I . E 9, ,4, 1 g vc- KX, f f--glie Bob Roberts ' . Bob didn't have much opportunity to play thisl year. afiid failed, to get his letter, but the fact that he was sitting on the bench dmlingjiie fgames did not slow up his playing in practice. Roberts is a backiield .man ogvthe plunging, hard-driviilg type, and can give any opposing man a jolt when it comes to tackling. These points, togegther with his kicking ability, should land him a Varsity post next fall. Boll Draut ' Draut is another lad who, despite the fact that he didn't get to perform much this year, has a good chance of moving into a regular berth during the 1932 season. Bob is a center, and with the graduation of the two other pivot men, is the most likely candidate for that position. A sure passer, and hard-driving defensive man, Draut gave the first. string passer-backs some worried moments this year, and can be counted on for next year's line. Harold Vlfeikel A leg injury handicapped Lefty from the start of the season, or the fans might have seen more of him. Despite the fact that he had a bad leg, Weikel could always be counted on to give all he had when he was called to replace a regular linesman. He possesses all the good qualities of an end-speed, drive, and fighting spirit, and if he were coming back next year the Middie fans would see him continually in the lineup. Millard Bechtel 'tBeef was all his name implies. He was the stocky lad who substituted at guard. When called upon he performed his tasks ably and enthusiastically. Although handi- capped by his small stature he made up for this with lots of drive. He was every inch a football player, and could always be found in the midst of the scrimmage, making the Varsity play its toughest brand of football. Beef didn't mind the bumps and bruises, for he always paid them back with interest. M143 1, 2 I If I X ,. . 'WSI ,.. Dick Woods Dick was one of those persistent, fighting players who kept trying for the team for four years, but always fell just a trifie short of making a regular position. He was always dependable and ready for anything on the battlefield or at practice sessions. Woods was shifted between center and halfback, but his light weight handicapped him in both positions. Richard Fink Persistence seems to come with the name Dick, for Fink also tried doggedly to make the grade. Dick's weight was what kept him from gaining a position on the Varsity. He was a utility man, but did some good work at quarterback. It is men like these who make the Middie success possible. Bill Sheets f i Easy-going most of the time, Bill developed into a hard-charging fullback before the season ended,' and gained a lot of experience during the last few tilts of the year. With another year of play, Bill may be counted upon to make a name for himself, for he has all the attributes of a football playerg size, speed, strength, and a shiftiness are all in his favor. l ' Bill Mcflonigle Bill was a bit too light to play on the Varsity, but a scrappier little guard never lived. Bill tried out for the squad for three out of his four years in school, and, though he had but slight chance to get into the games, was not deterred a minute by that, putting up plenty of fight in opposition to the first team at the practice sessions. Irwin Butterfield Another guard, and one of the fastest of the linesmen, Butterfield showed great promise early in the season, but due to an injury he was forced out of active compe- tition. Regardless of the fact that he could not play, he showed up at practice every night, and took an interest in all the proceedings. 51153 F5 -Q. 552 KJ W rx HIE SLHOOL Left ff, Right FIRST Row: Harold Weikel, Mack Langster, Bill Sheets, Howard Ward, Ernest Gehm, Frank Saylor, Fred Patterson, Stanley Armitage, Millard Bechtel, Alfred Dean, Harold Knepshield, Bob Roberts.

Football Subs Each Saturday when the Middie grid machine gets into action we see perhaps fifteen or twenty men carry the Purple and White to victory. We think of them as repre- senting Middletown football, but these few are only a small part of football. The subs, who form a large group, bear their full share. Night after night through tackling and blocking practice, scrimmage, and bad weather they make possible the weekly success. Bumps and bruises mean little to them.

The locals outplayed their lighter opponents in every department of the game. Little was seen of the regulars, for substitutes entered the game at the beginning of the second quarter, and continued the good work. All the local backs came through with much ground gaining. Before t.he game was over almost every man on the bench had seen service. As the final gun sounded the score was fifty-eight to nothing in favor of the Lingrelmen. Kiser The Kiser game was marked by perfect teamwork on the part of the Middies. The first touchdown came in the early part of the second quarter when Wendt smashed through left tackle for the score. Galloping Ghost Romans entered the fray at the beginning of the second half, and proceeded to intercept a Kiser pass which stopped their touchdown threat. Then. on several successive plays, one jaunt carrying him for sixty-five yards, he crossed the last stripe. After Kiser had again failed to gain, Trumon Gray blocked and fell on a punt for the last tally. The line worked like a well-oiled, single unit, and the Middie backfield gained repeatedly behind perfect interference. Washington C. H. The third group of visitors in the Middie camp was the blue and white warriors from Washington C. H. This was the second year that the Lingrehnen have tussled with the Washington C. H. bunch. The game opened with a display of speed on both sides, but our gridders soon gained a distinct advantage. The Hrst team was relieved in the second quarter after putting over several touchdowns. The second team showed much punch, and. except for a short time at the beginning of the second half. played the remainder of the game. Steele After running their win streak up to three, and with their goal-line still uncrossed, the Middies made their Hrst invasion of enemy territory on October 10, when they met Steele of Dayton at Kiser Field. The score, 19 to 7, was a victory for the Purple, but it marred their record of holding opponents scoreless. Harlen Romans' long runs featured the tilt, his best being 65 yards from the second half kickoff. After Steele had scored their lone touchdown, Romans again tucked their kickoff under his arm and jaunted for another 50 yard gain. McMann's forward passes to Wendt, and the old double reverses also were instrumental in the Middie attack. I 118 J T+L ii Hughes Two touchdowns in the first eight minutes of play at Nippert Stadium in Cincinnati took much of the fight out of Hughes, and the Middies proceeded to run up a 45 to 7 count before the final gun. Soon after the opening kickoff, McMann raced 62 yards to Hughes' eight yard marker, then sent Romans across. A few minutes later McMann ripped off 35 yards more. and two passes, one to Lawson and one to Wendt. added the second score. Wendt and Strong covered most of the ground in the third Middie march, and McMann's passes were the main factors in the fourth tally. Art Strong intercepted a Hughes pass, starting the Middie drive for the first touchdown of the second half, and an 80 yard march down the field culminated in another Purple score. Then with only four minutes to play, a fumble by a Middie back gave Hughes a chance for a score, which they quickly put to their advantage. Springfield Despite the fact. that Springfield had not been consistently in the win column, the Middies went to their stamping grounds with some fear. The Lingrelmen showed a little hesitation in getting started, but they soon began to hit their stride. From then on the game was practically on ice , for the line mowed down all opposition, and with the aerial attack and running plays working smoothly the Purple warriors romped home to a 31 to 0 victory. The Reaper City eleven attempted to stem the tide of defeat with repeated substitutions, but it was of little avail. Portsmouth On a cold October afternoon the Middies pitted themselves against the fast and shifty Trojans of Portsmouth at the Universal Stadium along the Ohio River, and suffered their one defeat of t.he season, 13 to 0. Though the Purple twice forced Portsmouth to their goal, the Trojan quarter both times punted out. of danger, and in the second and third quarters a fast running attack, much the same style as that of the Middies, scored touchdowns for the Trojans. Regardless of their defeat, the Purple put up a good battle and left an impression in that city. Lima Central Following their defeat at the hands of Portsmouth, the Middies returned to home soil to play for charity's sake. For a time it looked bad for the Lingrel machine, but after getting down to business they scored twenty-one points in the first half, and added twenty more to that total in the second half. The defeat the previous week seemed to be good medicine for the Middies, for they ran over, under, and through the Bean City eleven. Lima gained one single first down on a forward pass. Roosevelt A big second quarter, in which the Middies three times crossed the Teddies' goal, was largely responsible for this victory, 38 to O, in the Middies final tilt at Lincoln Field. Merle Wendt garnered honors for the afternoon, marking up three touchdowns, while Lawson, Romans, and Strong each contributed a score. The Middie forward wall maintained their usual standard and allowed the visitors a lone first down, part of which was a five yard penalty. This was the last home game on Lincoln Field for many of Coach Lingrel's warriors, the whole first team with the exception of Merle Wendt, being seniors. Hanlilton The Middies brought a very successful season to a close by taking their old rivals. Hamilton, to town by a 38 to 6 score. The game was played at Oxford on neutral territory, and a large group of friendly rooters turned out for the encounter. Gallop- ing Ghost Romans brought his career to a close by adding three touchdowns to his credit with sweeping end runs. Wendt, Strong, and McMann also turned in good performances in the backfield. Captain Lawson's line work was outstanding. Hamilton scored late in the third quarter after they had completed a number of passes. This game brought to a close the career of another successful grid team. l119j If121j Sandwich Girls Ruth Brinkineyer, Clzairniruz Mary Helen Steed, Assistant Chairman Left to Right Betty Shera, Mildred Shartle, Madge Sims, Margaret Thomas, Mary Helen Steed, Ruth Brinkmeyer.

Q 1 1 rr 1 - f123fI Paul Lawson, Captain Shifting directly from the gridiron to the basketball court, Lawson upheld and added to his outstanding athletic record. This is Ruben's second year on the Middie varsity as a forward, and unhappily his last. He was consistently a high scorer, and his ,ability to locate the hoop will long be remembered. Fast and shifty on his feet, Paul played equally well on offense and defense. His intercepting of Portsmouth's passes nearly proved disastrous for the state champions. Lawson had the distinction of leading both the football and basketball teams. Gerald Horn Geraldine , the curly headed Middie guard, after battling through the pre-season practices for his position, held it easily after the first game. Jerry , playing most of the time near the center of the fioor, had few opportunities t.o score, but his presence was felt in his superb guarding at all times. An enemy forward seldom slipped past Jerry , and when he did, he had to be a good forward. Horn played in nearly every quarter of every game, and in victory or defeat performed equally well. Merle Wendt No matter what brand of ball his teammates were playing, or who the opponents were, Merle could always be depended on to turn in the same steady performance. Although a guard, not a game went by in which Wendt did not score, and in more than one he topped the scoring column. In addition to his stellar offensive play, it was his defensive play which many a time kept the lVIiddies in the race. The best part of it all is that he'll be back next year to earn his fourth letter in basketball. Boll Millan Millan is a newcomer to the ranks of the Middie varsity, and he has still another year to perform for the Purple. Although he did not have much experience, Millan always gave his best, and was one of our most reliable players. His defensive play was of a high calibre, and he always could be counted on to add a few points to the score. Bob played well in several games, and helped hold the champion Portsmouth team to a 19 to 17 score. He should be a mainstay in next year's aggregation. 51241 J. B. MclVIann Our fighting football quarterback emerged with the opening of the hardwood season as an equally scrappy forward, and added to his already impressive athletic record. Jason , during the first half of the season, shared high scoring honors with Lawson, but played his best game against Kiser, when he led the Greenemen to victory with nine points. J. B. could always be depended on to play his hardest in every game, and as a forward he was all over the floor and usually succeeded in sinking his share of buckets. Trumon Gray Trumon, Coach Greene's human sky-scraper, was the awe-inspiring Purple center who overtowered all his opponents, and who scored continuously by reaching up and dropping the ball through the basket, rather than shooting. Gray was at his best in the Franklin game, scoring a total of ten points, but at Norwood he displayed his foul- shooting ability to the tune of four hits out of four chances. During the entire season his shooting was most accurate and he rarely failed to grasp an opportunity to register a foul shot. Solomon Back Although having very little previous experience, Back performed like a veteran. Sol is a south paw, and this was an asset to him, for he often slipped through the enemy defense for a bunny shot. He handled the ball in fine fashion at the pivot post, and delighted in tossing those overhead shots into the bucket . Sol was particularly outstanding in the Roosevelt game when he ranked high in the scoring column. He works well in the zone defense, and a score was not often made in his territory. Donald Selby Selby was a good substitute at either a guard or a forward position. Although short, he was very speedy and handled himself well. He was particularly adept at dropping long-range shots through the hoop. Regular at practice, he was always willing to work for the good of the team. He played his best game at Springfield when he was called on to replace McMann, who was injured. Under fire Selby was cool and determined, and kept playing steady and consistent ball. f1251 Q2 M3 fu. Jkjsfi I .L ,-1 ii'-.-?, ,fd r X . lVIin0r Lei tCI'l11CIl Mack Langster Mack made his first appearance on the Middie court this year, and played a good brand of ball. As a forward he accounted for his share of our reserves' points. He is small, but fast, and should be of use to Coach Greene next. year. Charles Weiclner Rivaling Trumon Gray and Sol Back in height, Charlie has promise of developing into a first class center with a little more experience. He consistently gained the tip-off for the reserves, and did some good work under the enemy basket. Kenneth Bayha Kenny held down a regular guard position on the Middie reserve, and also made his appearance with the Varsity on several occasions. A good bunny shot, he should be another man for Greene's use next year. Gerald Riley Riley is also a newcomer to the Middie hardwood, and did himself justice by getting a good start as a guard on the reserve team. Riley's fighting Irish spirit makes him a good guard. Murray Moren Murray also performed with the Varsity on many occasions, and aided the reserves in making a good showing. He is a forward, and good timber for next year's Purple whirlwind. James Turvey Teaming up with Moren, Turvey made a name for himself both on the Varsity and the reserve. If Moren and Turvey can be geared down to partnership iineness, they will be likely candidates for the forward positions next season.

BASKETBALL SQUAD These are the men who make up our two basketball teams. Most of them have seen service on the floor and have successfully carried our colors to victory, especially on the home court. Unlike football, the basketball subs play a preliminary game each week and have consistently set a good example for the regulars to follow. Not only do the subs have the responsibility of their games, but they must keep the Varsity on its toes. Many a tough tussle has been fought by them during the week to give the regulars a taste of the medicine they must expect over the week-end. l127j BI. H. S 1931-32 Basketball Record M. H. S.

The game. although slow, was marked by a few brilliant spots. Trumon Gray, our veteran elongated center, led the Pur-Whites in scoring with ten points, and was closely followed by McMann, who tallied eight markers , Although the rest of the team didn't score much, they helped by their excellent Hoor work and efficient passing. Graham as usual was Franklin's main threat and was ably assisted by Updyke. This encounter brought the weak spots out and gave Coach Greene a chance to see where the smoothing iron could be applied. Greenville The next evening showed a great improvement in the Purple five, and they tightened up their defense to allow but one field goal on the part of Greenville throughout the game, while the Middies themselves dropped nine two-pointers through the net for a final score of 20 to 3. Paul Lawson was the 'fbig shot for the Middies, garnering four field goals and two fouls for a total of ten points. Wendt and Gray, with four each tied for second honors. Hughes , The Middies moved into an early lead against Hughes and annexed their third straight victory to the tune of 21 to 15. The margin would have been greater had it not been for a mistake by Jerry Horn, who sent the ball spinning through the wrong goal at a crucial moment in the final period. However, the Middie lead of five points at half time was sufficient to hold out through the hectic last half and eke out their win. The Cincinnati team came here rated as a nrst class aggregation, but they seemed to have difficulty in hitting the net and were unable to get a start. 51281 Springfield The strong Springfield team next visited our school, and was confident of taking another win back home with them. The Reaper City five, at the close of the first period. looked as though they would go home victorious, but the Greenemen managed to find themselves in the second quarter and forge ahead. The second half found the Purple slowly but surely drawing ahead, and at the close of the game the count was 12 to 9 in their favor. Our guards, VVendt and Horn, led the scoring with three points apiece. The Springfield tive. before leaving our gym, made a vow that they would wallop the Middies in the return encounter, and kept it. Tiffin A couple of days after Christmas a bunch of basketball boys, par excellence, advanced on the Middie stronghold from the Junior Home at Tiffin, and handed the Greenemen their first defeat of the season. The visitors from upstate completely outplayed the Middies for three periods, holding a fourteen to one lead with but a minute to play in the third quarter. Then the Purple woke up and opened an attack which netted them ten points to two for Tiffin in the final quarter. The second half rally started too late to prevent the Junior team from taking a 16 to 11 victory. Eaton The Eaton basketeers proved to be little opposition for the Middies and went home with a decisive 20 to 4 licking. The Middies were a greatly improved team in both departments of the game. and played their best game of the season. The Eatonites scored all their points on free throws and their inability to score two-pointers was the greatest cause for their defeat. The two local sharpshooting forwards, Lawson and McMann, led the Middie scoring with five and nine points respectively. Izor and Augspurger scored two fouls each to top the Eaton sco1'e column. Springfield The Greenemen suffered a slight setback on their journey into the Springfield camp. The locals made a fine start, but were met. by Miss Fortune in the opening stanza. J. B. McMann was forced out by a badly turned ankle and was not able to resume play. Probably the injury, plus the failure to connect on foul shots, accounted for our loss. Selby, who replaced Mclilann. proved his ability as the revamped five held a slight lead until the close of the match. VVith three minutes to play Springfield piled up seven points to overcome the Middie lead, and took a 22 to 19 victory. Norwood Following the catastrophe at Springfield. the Middies made a trek to the fair village of Norwood in an attempt to make amends for the previous week, and for the First three periods it looked like the Tribe's scalp would hang on the Middie totem pole, but the sharpshooting Norwood center. Hern. led his team to a 21 to 15 victory, overcoming a three point Middie lead at the start of the final quarter. Wfilmington The next week, back on their home floor. the Middies made a gallant attempt to stem the tide of defeat, and held the strong Wilmington quintet to a 11 to 10 score. after the visitors had grabbed the lead with a big third quarter. Trailing by three points at the opening of the last session, the Middies bombarded the VVilmington goal throughout the period and managed to garner three points, but a foul shot in the last minute pulled Wilmington's bacon from the fire. Kiser J. B. McMann's eight points at Kiser gym in Dayton the next night finally broke the jinx which had followed the Middie squad for three weeks, and the Purple team came marching home with a 20 to 17 win tucked under their belts. The Greenemen were trailing by three points at the half time, but got hot in the third period and reversed the score, allowing the North Dayton boys not a point. The last quarter was played on even terms with each team scoring eight points, in perhaps the fastest play of the season. This made two victories for the Middies over Kiser, one in football and one on the hardwood. L1291 Hamilton For the first time in ten years or more. the Middies played host to the boys from the county seat, and despite gallant efforts were unable to break the Hamilton jinx, going down to their fifth defeat of the year by the close margin of 23 to 19. A carrot topped boy by the name of Hood was the chief Jonah as far as the Middies were concerned, for the speedy Hamilton forward accounted for twelve points himself. A one point lead at the half failed to supply the Middies with enough margin to hold out the rest of the game. Portsmouth After taking a drubbing from the hands of their old rivals, Hamilton, the Middies were ready for a tussle with the state champion Portsmouth team. The game was a regular see-saw battle with the lead going to first one team and then the other. The Trojans opened fast and held a six point lead at the close of the third quarter, but in the fourth period the Greenemen began to sink them from all angles, and gained a six point lead. This was short lived, for the Trojans soon were out in front again by a margin of two points, and when the smoke of battle had cleared, the Middies were on the short end of a 17 to 19 count. Captain Lawson took high scoring honors for the evening. Miamisburg The Miamisburg game was a repetition of the Portsmouth encounter, for the score kept see-sawing back and forth. The score, however, can hardly be taken as proof of the Burgers' superiority, for the count was tied seven times during the last three quarters. The inability of the Greenemen to obtain a lead was the main reason for the defeat. Lawson again led the scoring with seven points. Kelly, Miamisburg forward. gave an exhibition of sharpshooting from the foul line, grabbing five out of six foul tries. Roosevelt After losing three games in a row, our Purple warriors returned to their home stamping grounds to take Roosevelt in a free-for-all scoring spree. The Teddies were completely outclassed throughout the game, and did not score a tield goal till the third quarter. At the end of the half the Middies were out in front by a 23 to 2 margin. Captain Lawson was high point man with eleven markers, and he was closely followed by Back and Wendt who chalked up ten and nine points respectively. Such an array of shooting had not been seen in the Middie camp for a long time, and it looked good to see the ball burning up the net time and time again. Steele Against the Lions from Steele High of Dayton. the Middies again rode the heights, and outplayed the visitors by a nine point margin, completing their clean sweep of Dayton teams. With an advantage of but three points as the second half opened, the Greenemen still had a battle on their hands, but managed to pull the game from the fire in the last quarter with an eleven point rally. Wendt led the scoring with six. The burial count was 22 to 13. Western Hills With two consecutive victories over Dayton teams to their credit, a new spirit was instilled in the Greenemen, and they sailed into Western Hills to snatch another victory to the tune of 20 to 15. Captain Lawson led the Purple attack with four field goals for a total of eight points, while Wendt was close behind with six markers. Joe Gutz- willer, former Middie player, tied for scoring honors for Western Hills with tive points, adding another feather to Coach Greene's cap. Hamilton With their confidence greatly bolstered by t.he prestige of three straight victories, the Middies traveled to Hamilton on February 26 for their closing contest of the year, and returned with their prestige sadly damaged by a 17 to 9 defeat. The Hamilton defense was well nigh impregnable, and only two Middie players managed to score from the Held-Wendt and Back bagging a two pointer each. The Greenemen trailed from the start of the game, and finished their season in sorry style. f130j A Five Year Survey of Middie Basketball Scores 1926-1927 1927-1928 M. H. S. . .44 Franklin . .. 8 M.

Tournament held in Cincinnati. The Middies opened their golf season by defeating the Hughes golf team of Cin- cinnati on the Wildwood Golf Course here in Middletown. The Middies received their second consecutive victory by defeating Hamilton 10 to 2. The game was played at Potters Course in Hamilton. A return game was played and the Middies won an easy victory, the score being SV2 to 396. The Middies golf team defeated Hamilton Catholic three games out of four, losing the fourth game. The Middies won the Southwestern District tournament held at Cincinnati. Each player on the local team received a gold medal, Shorty Wagner led the entire list of players with the lowest score. Nine different schools took part in the tournament.. Following their clean sweep of Southwestern District teams, the Middie golfsters packed up their clubs and journeyed to Columbus where they competed in the State Championship meet. The event was staged on the Wyandott Golf Course, and the Purple warriors returned home with fifth place firmly held in their grasp. This brought to a close a very successful season, and the members of the team are deserving of much credit. I132I Left to Right-Robert Shane, James Lummis, Joseph Herr, Jack Hogan, Richard Hayes. Tennis Record for 1931 The tennis team of Middletown High School had a brief but successful season last year. Probably the most important matches of the tourney were the two held with Hamilton. The first match with them took place at the Y courts, and resulted in a victory for the Hamilton team. In the return match played at Hamilton, the Purple gained a victory and thus evened the count between the two schools. Two games had been scheduled with Dayton Steele and Cincinnati, but due to some difficulties encoun- tered the matches were unable to be played. Although tennis is a minor sport, it deserves a place in t.he hall of fame of M. H. S., for it is the smaller sports that help add to our prestige in all lines of sport. The tennis team, although they we1'e not participants in many contests, showed the old Hghting Middie spirit, and when defeated did not give up in despair. f133lI Boys' Intra-Mural Sports Aside from the Varsity teams which have so nobly carried the Purple and White this season, there has been keen competition among our own students. In the middle of January the Home Room Basketball Tournament got under way, with much enthusi- asm. Each home room had a team on the Hoor and supporters in the rooting section. Thirty-two teams started on Monday, March 7, and in exactly one week the final game was played between 313 and 201. The game was close, although the consistent ability of the 201 blond comet , Hagedorn, to sink long shots kept his team in the lead. Toward the close of the contest 313, following the valiant efforts of Likiarthis, rallied, but failed to take away the lead. The final score was 19 to 13 in favor of the McCrayites.

In this contest room 204 was the winner. f1341 Girls' Intra-Nlural Sports This year most of the Girls' Athletic Activities have taken place in the Gym classes. Each class is divided into two groups, the Whiteand the Purple. Each group has a captain, who was chosen by the girls at the first of the year. The captains were chosen for their fine work and ability in Gym, and for their efficient leadership. Each captain keeps a chart on which she marks the scores for her team. One point can be made by each girl for her team by running the track twice. Points are deducted for lateness, and for lack of personal neatness. At the first of the year, under the direction of Miss Chessman the girls were permitted to take up either tap dancing, basketball, or mat work, but due to the untimely death of the teacher this method was discontinued. All the girls were grieved over the death of this beloved and popular instructor, but we were fortunate in getting Mrs. Bradley, who has been well liked by the girls in previous years, Under Mrs. Bradley each gym class has had four basketball teams, two from the VVhite, and two from the Purple. In class these teams play against one another, one of the girls being the referee. We have also had in class, dancing, exercises, and some contests and games. The work in gym this year is mainly informal work, which most of the girls enjoy doing. Very little formal work is given. Besides learning how to participate in sports the girls are also learning the mechanism of the body and how to care for it. While this is valuable knowledge, the girls quite naturally prefer gym work, which, although it may not be as educational as Hygiene, is much more interesting. This year as usual the girls' athletics have centered around basketball. Although the girls are not permitted to engage in interscholastic athletics, they do have very interesting games among themselves. There were no home room teams, but each class had four of five teams. The captains were chosen by all the girls who were interested in basketball. The captains then chose their teams. Every girl who went out for basketball was placed on a team. The Senior captains were Mae Sherman, Mary Knepshield, Helen Busseer, Ruth Brinkmeyer, and Mary Ann Brehany, Mary Knepshield's team won out in the Senior group. The Junior captains were Catherine Gerber, Dorothy Lamson, Dorothy Wahlers, and Marie Douglas-Catherine Gerber's team being the winner. Edna Lakoff's team was the winner over the Sophomore teams under the captainship of Mary Dole, Frances Baker, and Helen Corlton. Final games are to be played to see which team is the champion of the school. Fine sportsmanship and clean playing were displayed throughout all the games. Every girl on the team did her best to help her team win. Of cou1'se all the teams could not win but those who lost took it with good grace. The finals between the three winning teams are anticipated with great eagerness. This year, contrary to previous years, there will be no tournament either in baseball or in volley ball.

Such a youth counts vision, initiative, and perseverance as his greatest allies. There is Production, which demands, besides a certain de- gree of inventiveness, a prac- tical knowledge of chemist1'y, machinery, engineering and the ability to manage and get along with people. Marketing-or the business of distribution, advertisement and sale of manufactured products-is no less important than Production, and the rewards for leadership here are fully as satisfying. Finance is still another major calling, and one that demands much -diligent study, as well as 6Xp91'16l'1C6. . But these, together with the many other specialized vocations that go to make up the huge composite called Industry, are only steps along the way. All should lead to Ad- ministration and Organization, thrones that even a king might well covet. Success in Industry imposes many sacrifices, exacts much tribute from the youth who would scale its heights. But these are as nothing compared with the thrill of achievement, the surpassing happiness that Progress bestows on the man or woman who adds a gleam to her lustre. Industry, after all, is no more than fulfilment, the advance of civilization toward its ultimate destiny. To the student who remains 0 Student long after he has left the marble halls of learning, who grasps the helm firmly and guides his craft by the compass of intelligent and enthusiastic ambition, an industrial career can offer much-yes, even all. Scholastic learning is the foundation, but upon this must be built earnestly, brick by brick, the endur- ing structure that we can call success. wwe THE AMERICAN ROLLING MILL COMPANY Executive Offices: Middletown, Ohio 51893 Dr. C.

Adviser Forest Valentine, Adviser Senior Class History lndustry in all fields. when combined with honest effort, ever yields its due rewards. This fact is thoroughly believed by the Seniors of the Class of l932. Through steady work and cooperation with our teachers and fellow students. we are prepared, at last. to lay down the anvil of our work. For four years we. as a class. have been laboring together in the classrooms of dear old M. H. S. Many times during our high school career. we have felt that the shift was long and the routine dullg but as we approach the reward of our industry. these four years. which we have spent here. seem only a very brief time. ln this time we have indeed attained a most enviable scholastic record: several of our class members gave evidence of this in the state-wide scholastic contest for seniors. which for our district. was held at Hamilton on March 19. Our athletes have participated nobly on the athletic teams every year. Not only have they gained victories on the field and the floor. but they have also received praises for their clean sportsmanship. ln the held of debating, our debaters have excelled and have thus defeated the teams of many other schools throughout the state. ln dramatics we have also made a nameg for our class established the custom of a Sophomore Class Play. Then. last year. our actors again displayed their talent and ability in the presentation of the Junior Play. We have also enjoyed many very delightful social functions, chief of which were the Junior-Senior and the Senior Proms. Both of these pleasurable events will long be cherished in our memory. As we Seniors of 19312 lay down our anvil of work. we extend to you underclassmen the wish that you. too. may earn the wage for hard work. which will result from your zeal for labor and your desire for higher ambition! t20l John Carmody, President An athlete, poet, and editor toog His standards lofty, good, and true.

Sccrlytizry Nl 'X xl' Y' , , T .HISTURX As Juniors in Middletown High School, we have at last gained the name upper- classmenu. In the three years that we have been here, We feel that as a class We have done our share in many ways. We have earned a splendid scholastic rating. Having participated in both football and basketball, the juniors have already distinguished themselves in the field of athletics. Just as The Whole Town Was Talking last year about the Sophomore Class Play, so it did this ,year about the Junior Play. Many of our class members belong to the Socc and Buskin Club, Hi-Y, Student Senate, Debate Squad, the Middletonian Staff, and many other organizations. We are all anticipating with keen delight the coming Junior-Senior Prom. Our interest in the various activities of the school surely indicates that we are capable of carrying on the responsibilities of our class, as Seniors of 1933! We hereby accept the challenge of the Class of 1932 to make our senior year more successful and more complete than theirs has been. l55l ' I , ' f f Z f'-..1' Q -133 5-:. - ---4.1, T' - QAM I ,i w J .l'1F4.-T? - -v f',.?!1f' ' Q-rg'-x r 9 4 f Af' 315-1Sw E X 1 'iz .-'ILUQT' , ' Aw'-P-t'q rf ,,:lq'l49',..v 5, ' I QQQLXL Q, ,f -to 1 X , f Q0 0 Q gf UL' my 1 fp 15- 'WXCAN ' ul 'I 'N ' A 1 1, , . ,fa . -ff , to 4 gl X ' F' 5g . , ix lx ' X T7 ' ii X ' . in ff.

The Middletonian Staff this year has capably lived up to its ambition to make this year's school paper the best ever published. Many new readers have been won by the variety of colors and news. Each issue was concentrated upon a special feature such as: Washington, Santa Claus, St. Patrick, and the sophomore, junior, and senior classes. The advertisements, which are an added feature again this year, have proved beneficial to both the business organizations and the paper. The success of this paper is due to the members of the Staff and Mr. Barr, who have worked industriously over each issue.

Estelle Lowe James Sparks, Elsie Campbell, Mary Caldwell FLorcENcE POWELL, Director Shrieks, screams, fainting women, doors opened by unseen means, kidnappings, snakes, mummies' heads, ghosts, darkness, murders! Whatever may be found in a mystery play was found in this farce. plus tive laughs after each time you gripped the arms of your seat for your neighborj. The 'tbanshee , a female Irish ghost, a forecaster of evil, seemed to haunt the house of Peter Adair, a crusty old bachelor, who kept his millions in an ancient safe and surrounded himself by a half-wit, a necromancer, a savage, a stony-eyed housekeeper, and what-have-you, including a charming' niece. the proverbial ray of sunshine, and her stalwart fiance, a newspaper reporter and thorn in uncle's side. The forewarning, however, was as nothing to the foul and hair-raising events after Uncle Peter Adair's death. Then, indeed, did the audience sit on the edges of their seats and shriek in unison, as slowly, slowly, over their cringing heads, far into the dark house, swung' that Awful White Thing! fEven Mr. Miller was frightened and wanted the lights only The play was so funny the cast felt themselves entertained at every rehearsal. Yet there was not a character who did not have to work hard to fit himself to his role, for each part was a character part for the one who played it.. Perhaps we remem- ber as outstanding the half-wit, the old uncle, the doctor, the savage savage, the charming heroine, the impetuous Clem, the melodious cook, the religious fanatic, but perhaps another would select. a different group, for each part seemed to be played almost equally well, all with a feeling of subordination to the whole play. Each year in the review of the Senior Class Play, the spirit of cooperative fellowship in the artistic production of the play, seems to be stressed, but each year that is the great reason for the success of our play. Each year, too, we have as a result, a group of friends that part regretfully with looks turned backward to happy memories. l82l 5821 Junior Class Play COME OUT OF THE KITCHEN By A. E.

Sam Farnsworth, Robert Vorhis Publicity and Assistant Staging' Betty Blair, Katherine Bohne THELMA CLEVENGER, Director A stately southern mansion, an aristocratic family temporarily embarrassed, four servants wanted, and a southern belle who conceives the madcap idea of acting as the domcstic staff for a wealthy Yankee, who has rented the Daingerfield home. This is the recipe for this amusing and thoroughly delightful play. Mix in the following ingredients, a butler who is stiHness personified, a seemingly sour housemaid, and a bootboy whose mischievous nature keeps things brewing. Add a sweet Irish cook, alias, who looks like a Dresden China shepherdess, and can stew up a whiskhroom and make you think it is a terrapin a la Baltimore. No wonder the crafty old lawyer, the lovesick Southerner, and the rich Yankee won't Come Out. of the Kitchen . Of course, there is the lovable and humorous southern mammy who adds plenty of spice and variety. Tart old Mrs. Falkener has high intentions for her daughter Cora, and she tries to stir things up to suit her taste. Clever Cora, however, has a decided taste for the savoury, flowery poet. After the identity of the heroine is finally disclosed, and the Yankee proposes his love for the cook, Olivia Comes Out of the Kitchen . Too soon the dish was all done and served, and this cooperative and congenial cast reluctantly Came Out of the Kitchen . But. there was the satisfaction that the play, like a good southern dish, was well done and delicious, and left a pleasant taste in the mouths of the audience. lS4l 4 Q5 E351 MARY E. CHESSMAN Middletown High School keenly feels the loss of Miss Mary E. Chessman, Physical Education Director, who met her death in an automobile accident on December 19, 1931. Miss Chessman was a very attractive and cultured woman of high ideals. In her position she came into contact with hundreds of girls and made her influence felt far beyond her immediate sphere. Her life exemplihed to an unusual degree the wealth of her physical and mental development, which gained for her the highest respect of all who knew her. Miss Chessman combined all the finest qualities of student,teacher,and friend. l51 Sophomore Class Play THE BOOMERANG By 'NVINCHELL SMITH AND VICTOR lVlAPES Dr. Gerald Sumner . . , ., ,, , . .Robert Perry Budd Woodbridge ..

The doctor's prescription did at least. Do you know that the greatest plague of the day is jealousy? Do you know that there is a modern and scientific way of treating jealousy? If you need the treatment, just go to Dr. Gerald Sumner and he'll prescribe a pleasant remedy. Let's see- there were hikes, punching bags, golf clubs, and the failure to show up at your best girl's party. Budd VVoodbridge will substantiate the above statement. Why, he had insomnia, loss of appetite fthough that's hard to believej, jumpy nerves, and even dreamed of strangling one of his best friends. Those dreams of water on a desert seemed peculiar, too. Who ever heard of the mixture of love and water? Anyway, Howard made them seem real, but his recovery was marvelous to behold. But these things aren't hard to believe when we consider their inspiration. Nurse Virginia Xelva could have inspired miracles even more astounding. Just think of a person who could help cure one man, deliberately give the same disease to two others, and have it all end happily. For a beginner, she was certainly an efiicient nurse! Aside from humorous lives, we always want humorous characters in a well rounded play. ln this, Mrs, Woodbridge and Preston De Witt more than met the requirements. Has ever so loving a mother been met as Budd's? fDon't forget the drawlj. Did you ever meet a man so conceited as to believe all the girls were in love with him? The trouble was, their boy friends thought the same thing. Every play always needs a villain or Villainess. Could anyone have been a better villainess than Grace Tyler? Of course. she wasn't one of this shootin', slinkin ' kind, but she certainly had a way of breaking men's hearts, driving them to murder, or sumpin . A play must also have a link. Marion Sumner made a most charming one, even if she did lecture her brother. Atmosphere is also important. Of course characters make this in a play. There was Gertrude Ludlow with her bonbons and desire to be a doctor's wifeg Emile, that most versatile of valets QVoila, Emileljg Hartley, with his stately bow tcan you still set a table'?J g the surprise party fwho looked pretty to say the leastb 3 and Julia fthe dogl. who probably behaved better than any of us. VVe mustn't forget two property members, Bessie Gentry and VVinifred McMahon, for what would a play be without properties? l'm sure we all agree with Mr. Stone that it was wonderful, Simply YVOnde1'ful . l 36 l 1 87 Debate Team AFFIRMATIVE NEGATIVE Miriam Gerard Bernice Kling Robert Herman Walker Lewis Leo Hirsch Ben Thirkield illucli erzlertainzfng am! zvnrllzlvhilc lime' was .spent listenzfng to the debates 011: Resolved that the .several states .should enact legislature PTOUI-llillg for Conlpulsory lineniploynienl Ifzsurafice. This year 29 schools which were formerly in the league dropped out. The 96 schools, which remained, were divided into fourteen districts of which nine had seven schools, two had six, two had five, and one had nine schools. They were divided in such a manner as to minimize long distance travel, and to avoid having' small schools of fifty to one hundred pupils debating' with schools of five hundred and more. Each school debated every other school in its district. The winner of one district debated another until there were only two remaining. Then these two contended with each other at Columbus to see who was the champion of the state. Middleown had another difficult schedule this year, having to contend wtih Pits- burgh, Campbellstown, Eaton, Troy, Oakwood, and Sidney. Middletown went a step farther again this year. remaining in the field through the quarter-finals. After defeating Po1'tsmouth from Dist1'ict VIII, Middletown journeyed to Bluffton in District V and was defeated in an excellent debate. Although all the debaters are seniors, some good material is anticipated for next year. Squads were organized this year and they worked along' with the teams during the season, and became acquainted with the art of debating. With these people as a nucleus, Middletown has a splendid opportunity for further honors next year. lSSl . U' lf' lilly! ll!

Our spirits increase at the games when the band starts to play our school songs and we all stand to sing' along with the melodious strains of each instrument. Many inter- esting' programs have also been presented in chapel by our efficient band.

S. is proud of all her organizations and especially so of the line orchestra which is under the direction of Mr. Copp. As we know that the orchestra is made up of some of the most talented pupils of music in the city, we do not feel presumptuous when we say we have one of the finest orchestras in the state, Many of the pupils were members of the orchestra last year, and consequently, they have been able to study much more advanced music this year. One of the most enjoyable chapel programs of the year was provided by our orchestra. We also appreci- ated the music provided at the different class plays, which spared us much restlessness and boredom in the intervals between the acts. Under the supervision of Mr. Copp the music selected was always appropriate to the plays. In the Washington Pageant the orchestra also did especially time work, and much credit is due them. l91l Bicentennial Celebration This year, 1932, will be remembered by all in M. H. S. as an outstanding year for one event in particular, the pageant, George Washington of Young America, pre- sented on March 18 by over two hundred students representing the sophomores, juniors, and seniors. Realizing that it was the wish of the President of the United States that all schools and communities should observe the bicentennial anniversary of Washington's birth, the Senior American History classes elected a committee to determine the manner by which M. H. S. could most Httingly celebrate this occasion. This committee, consisting of Bernice Kling, chairman, Martha Jacoby, Miriam Gerard, Lucille Snyder, Ruth Brinkmeyer, John Carmody, Walker Lewis, Charles McLeod and Stanley Reed, proposed the plan of arranging for a pageant, but because of the immensity of the task, the staging of the production was given over to the faculty. And so it came about that the choice of George Washington of Young America as our omcial Bicen- tennial Celebration was made. No cost was spared to make this affair as beautiful as possible. The scenery and the many elaborate costumes secured from studios in Columbus as well as the colonial period music, so ably sung and played by the chorus and orchestra, combined to help make this undertaking a success. The ten prologues through such characters as Young America, Treachery, Cold, Defeat, Liberty, Patriotism, War, Sickness, Death, Despair, Mutiny, Courage, Victory, Patience, Faith, Vision, Justice, Peace, and Prosperity, symbolically set forth a prophecy of the events which were portrayed in the succeeding Episodes. The Episodes and Interludes, seventeen in numbe1', characteristically portrayed the outstanding events in the life of Washington beginning with his mission into western Pennsylvania to warn the French oil' English territory, and continuing through the French and Indian War, the dark days of the Revolution, the formation of the Union, the years of his presidency, the giving of his Farewell Address and ending with his death at Mt. Vernon. Walker Lewis and Marylou Chestnut as George and Martha Washington, and Juanita Ellison, Margaret Bailey and Richard Wagner as Elizabeth, Nelly and Wash- ington Custis, very ably characterized the Washington family. Phyllys Fanning as Young America gave us a vision splendid of our land. Truly, we lived in imagination through the years of George Washington's life as we watched these pictures pass before us so that 'now we can appreciate more fully the service which he rendered to his country. Dead7 Never, never while this land endures! He lives through all the ages in your hearts And mine! Nay, more, he lives and grows forever! O Washington! Washington, Washington! I am America whom thou hast made. I pledge myself to grow as thou hast planned me. In Freedom, Honor, Rectitude, and Power. Across the continent thy land shall spread To where the blue Pacific leaves its shores, From sea to sea, o'er mountain, plains and lakes, Thy seats shall multiply, and hosts shall gather From every race that dwells upon the earth To be thy people, honoring thy name. maj 11 12525, .dmmfx PK 1 um v ' lulllllnlllllulllml Ill llllll1Illllllll'l ff Wf FTW? 9 o ov Gfiilf?-1554 ' Wh hi!

Dix Riggs Assistant Scrgefuzt-ut-Arms Bill Storer To create M. H. S. morale, and achieve the honorable, is the appropriate motto of this school institution, and daily the effects of its work are made manifest. A remark here, a suggestion there-and our M. H. S. student senators are exercising the power their classmates have vested in them. This is not a law making body-Middle- town has no need for such, but here is the place where every M. H. S. student can express his opinion, here is where he can point out our mistakes as he sees them, and, above all, here is where he can suggest remedies for ridding ourselves of such faults and for improving our school and our position in the school. Composed of senator and an alternate elected from each home room, the senate represents all M. H. S. students at its bi-weekly meetings. Each delegate takes his seat in room 11.3 every second Monday evening to take an active part in helping to guide the affairs and activities of Middletown High School. It is not without some pride that the senators can look back upon their work. It has indeed been a successful year for them and their adviser, Mr. Winkelman. Many questions and problems, too numerous to mention, pertaining to our general welfare have been solved. They have done many things, too, seemingly small and insignificant. but it can be depended upon that, however small their efforts may seem, they have benefited and helped some student of M. H. S. by each and every one of them. After all, what more can one ask of any organization? Along with its other duties, the student senate has become somewhat of an informa- tive body, and seldom does a meeting pass that there are not. a number of questions asked by students and teachers. Then, in his report to his home room on Tuesday mornings, each senator announces to everyone what action has been taken in the senate, what questions and problems have been placed before the principal and the school board, and what suggestions many of the faculty have to offer to the students. Thus, the senate has become the voice of both the faculty and the student body. l94l
