B., UNIVERSITY or CHICAGO As you near the close of your High School days, it might be well to take a brief inventory of the wealth gained through these eventful years. You have no doubt had many happy experiences as well as somedisappointments. Now as you face the sterner realities of life, you should Iind yourselves better equipped to meet the tests which lie just before you. You should also realize that your preparation is not complete but be happy in the thought that you have at least made a good beginning. Our well wishes go with you as you continue lifeis eventful voyage. R. W. SOLOMON WADE E. MILLER PRINCIPAL B. A., HEIDELBERG A., 01.110 -STATE Centuries of history teach us that man usually feels before he thinks. Actions today are impelled by what we feel, more than by what we think. We are directed through life by our emotions, fired by the spark of an ideal. It is the wheel of experience, controlled by the brakes of Wisdom. The emotions generate the power, and the intellect directs and controls it. Emotion is the master, intellect the servant. Schools have always been active in developing the servant. In recent years a challenge has been presented, a more important matter, that of developing the master, the emotions. In our school we are meeting this challenge with our ultra-curricular activities. Athletics, Dramatics, Music, Fine Arts, Social and Religious Activities are the best media for this training. For this reason, it is our desire that each student participate in some activity outside of the regular class. The preparation of this book itself is such a training. Intellect, action, conduct, character follow in turn. We congratulate the makers of this book on its excellence. That, however, is only the visible evidence of the excellence of the training which they have received. In like manner, we salute and congratulate those who have participated in all our activities this year, not only because of the excellent results achieved, but also because of the unusually excellent training of the emotions received in that activity. May life continue to bring each reader such rare opportunity for the development of both the master and the servant. WADE E. MILLER Kathleen Banker B.

We began our career here as a class of 437 members. A . A During the year some of the students took utime-out', from their studies for the delightful presentation of uMiss Informationw. Last year a mystery thriller, c'The Cat and the Canary , was given before a capacity audience. Last year the pages of time were turned back when the cafeteria became a banquet hall for the benefit of Concilium Honoris and its guests as a climax to Latin Week. Oar adherence to study has resulted in high scholastic attainments. A few of our seniors were so fortunate as to win honors at Oxford last year in the state scholarship test. Susanne Ware, Englishg Tom Sharkey, Physics, Bill Minton, English, Virginia Barnard, French, Wilbur Egelston, World History. Wilbur also won honor in winning a state ranking. Our class claims the unusual distinction of havingan undefeated football team which played against some of the strongest opposition in the state. Their success is due, we believe, to their earnest cooperation and fair play. The games were played under the newly installed lights at Lincoln Field. Each member of the basketball squad contributed much to the fine record of our school in basketball. Our debate team has shown exceptional ability in debating the subject-Resolved: that the Federal Government should adopt the policy of equalizing educational oppor- tunity throughout the nation by means of annual grants to the several states for public elementary and secondary education. Their efforts were rewarded with the championship of District One in the state of Ohio. The Middletonian has been a great success due to the commendable work of the editor-in-chief, Bill Minton. For the first time in the history of our school monitors have been stationed in the hallways to act as guides and overseers. Other students of our class have devoted their time to Hi-Y, College Club, MMU Club, Jusolit, Glee Club, Orchestra, Band, and Optimist. Richard Caulker, a native of Africa and a student of Otterbein College, talked before a group of nearly 200 members of the Hi-Y clubs. This is but one of the many speakers that Hi-Y members had the privilege of hearing. Last year we shared with the Seniors in attending the first prom to be given in the gymnasium. Our school life has been filled with many social activities and we give a vote of thanks to those who have made them possible. As we draw near the end, we look upon our' work and associations with eyes and minds made more serious and responsible than were those of the sophomores of three years ago. There has been a gradual development and growing appreciation of the school, its principal, its teachers, and friends. It is with this thought we leave this place we've called home for three years-dear old M. H. S.

'LTO the Ladiesn, a comedy in three acts, was the presentation of the Sophomore Class. This play displayed excellent dra- matic ability. The Junior Class Play, Clarence , was a great success, due to the dramatical interpretation of the actors and the efficient direction of Miss Clevenger. Several boys of this class have already made a name for themselves in athletics as they have participated in a fine manner both in basketball and football. Although all of them did not play regularly, much credit must be given to them for their untiring efforts. The publication of the lVliddletonian has been aided very much by several industri- ous Juniors. We are very proud to state that a few members of this class won honors at Oxford last year in the State Scholarship test. Leola Gregory, Latin, Howard Manning, Latin, Katherine Walters, English. Thus far your scholastic standing has been high and We hope you will keep it so next year. You have shown great interest in differ- ent activities and organizations such as Hi-Y, Student Senate, Debate Club, Ju-So- Lit, and Socc and Buskin. A fast pace has been set for the suc- ceeding classes by this one in all fields of high school activity. Let's hope the next classes will continue in the high standards that have been set by their predecessors.

Eighty THE MIDDLETONIAN The enthusiasm with which the Middletonian Staff started this year's paper has lasted throughout the year. They have made it interesting and newsy in each issue and have kept us well posted on the daily affairs of the school. The Nuts column often brought us a laugh, and the uThey Say has kept us informed of the social events, and has successfully carried on the work of previous years. Scrambled Eggs has kept us in touch with the scandal of our heroes and heroines, and the Sports column gave us a fine record of our successful athletic teams. The editor, Bill Minton, with the help of the managing editor, Martha Milligan, and the assistant editors, Geoffrey Curwen and Luella Pratt, has supervised all work done. The News Staff, composed of Jack Allen, John Dumphy, Herbert Payne, Mary Dohn, and Merritt Gambill, has secured all the news possible. For the different departments of the paper we are indebted for the features of the paper to Tilmon Ellison, Herman Carter, and Zoe Williams. Knight Goodman and Mary Carter are responsible for the excellent sport write-ups. Mary Jane Miller and Sara Lawler have kept us posted on all our social events. We congratulate Winifred Kiester for her two years of steady work as editor of Humor column. Ada Mae Hadley has kept us in touch with other schools by exchanging news.

Bob McGuiT and Dick Wilmer are responsible for the circulation. The typists, whose duty it was to type all the news, were Frank Gibbons, Frances Roberts, and Helen Shibley. The efforts of the staff have been fulfilled, and the success of the Middletonian we owe to the work of the adviser, Mr. Barr, and the entire Middletonian Staff. 'tty-one THE OPTIMIST The Optimist Staff of 1935 has attempted to produce an authentic book. We hope that you, the students of Middletown High School, will get as much pleasure from reading these pages as We did in preparing them. It has been a supreme pleasure to chronicle in this book of the high school the achievements of a glorious year of her history. The pages of the 1935 Optimist represent an effort to portray, both pictorially and editorially, the daily life of the school. A number of new ideas are embodied in the makeup of this year's book. To Miss McCray, the adviser of this book, we give high tribute for her splendid work and cooperation with the staff. C At all times she was willing to direct us in our work. To our editors, we bestow a word of praise for their untiring efforts and original ideas to help produce an annual that will meet with your approval. The Class Staff has done its work excellently by arranging the pictures of the different classes in the right order. The Literary Staff is to be praised for the write- ups of the Seniors and the Faculty. The Activity Staff is to be complimented for its arrangements of the large number of activities enrolled in this school. The Art Staff has presented clever and original artwork.

The Humor Stall has secured enough humor to keep us laughing for a long, long time. Our Athletic Staff has efficiently covered all the sports of our school. For the circulation of our books we congratulate our Circulation Manager. And last, but not least, we praise the typists for their prompt and excellent work. We have not written here for the present, but rather for that placid eventide of life when you and I shall turn these then worn pages and shall conjure up a thousand memories of a throbbing, splendid youth.

Eighty-two PURPLE MASQUERS The Purple Masqucrs have shown by their work this year that they still have the dramatic ability for which they were noted last year in the Socc and Buskin Club. They have worked together for three years. ' The new members were fully initiated at their first party of the year which was held at the Gables. They were initiated by last year's Purple Masquers. Many plays have been given by this group. One, which showed a great deal of work, was the play allen, by Eugene O,Neill. This play was successfully followed by 4'lVlix Well and Stir , Overtones , and Dust of the Roadw, by Kenneth Goodman. The latter was given in Chapel for the students and the faculty. The Senior Club, with the help of the Socc and Buskin Club, presented 'cfiomance of the Willow Pattern at the Armco Auditorium for the Federation of Womenis Clubs. This play proved to be a great success and other plays were planned to be given for outside clubs. A party was held in March, and another, a farewell party, the first of lVlay. With these two parties and the presentation of the Senior Class Play, a good year for the Purple Masquers comes to an end. We congratulate Miss Powell, director of Purple Masquers, for her fine work. She has had a double responsibility placed on her this year as director of Ye Merrie Jesters, the Sophomore dramatic club, in addition to the Senior club, Purple lVlasquers. ln spite of having both clubs, she has given each a large share of her time and has ably directed our plays in a way that made them a sure success. j ffff ,yyy wt gritty-three SOCC AND BUSKIN ' The Socc and Buskin Dramatic Club began its successful year of 1934-1935 by the initiation of 30 new members at a party which was held at Sherais cottage at Chautauqua. During the Hallowe'en season the club presented the play, MAt thetStroke of Twelve . The week before Thanksgiving the members presented in Chapel- for the students and the faculty the play '6The First Dress Suitg' by K. lVledcraft. This play was followed by a Christmas play, 'clVlimi Lights the Candlew. Then the plays, uWhen Chickens Come Home and L'White Elephantsi' were presented. Most of these plays were presented at the club meetings and at the joint meeting of the three dramatic clubs. A large number participated in making the Junior Class Play a success, and We surely agree that the play was an excellent comedy. The fine acting of each character is to be praised. In addition to the acting of the members, many of them took special interest in staging, make up, and other backstage work in which they were especially trained. Socc and Buskin Club has earnestly tried to live up to the standards of the Purple Masquers Club Whose place they will take next year. Under the able management of Miss Clevenger, who has Worked unceasingly to make this an outstanding club, the Socc and Buskin can close their last chapter with a feeling that they have attained that ahigh thingw called asuccessn.

This initiation had been planned to take place at Armco Park in form of a Weiner Bake, but rain soon changed these plans. The initiation was then held in the high school cafeteria. Wearing paper hats and carrying .balloons and rattlers, the new members were marched around the school. At this first social meeting, the officers of the Ye Merrie Jesters Club were elected. A gay time was had by all the new members and by the club which initiated them. Some plays were prepared by this group and presented at the joint meetings of the three dramatic clubs. Father's Day On , by Margaret Murphy, proved a success, as well as 'Tlittermousen and '4His Best Seller . The club also ably assisted the Purple Masquers in presenting 'cThe Romance of the Willow Pattern for the Fed- eration of Womenis Club. Several members of this group participated in the Sophomore Class Play which produced many thrills and moments of excitement for the audience. This play, 4'The Cat O7 Nine Tails by Lawrence Worcester, kept everyone in suspense wondering what was going to happen next. The splendid work of the cast was commendable and will long be remembered. Another party was given in March and a farewell party is planned to close the year for the Ye Merrie ,lesters of 1935. Great work has been accomplished by this group under the able direction of Miss Powell. Eighty-four Ighty-five DEBATE CLUB The Debate Club this year, organized for the purpose of furthering the art of debating in Middletown High School, has ably discussed many of the present-day problems. Oliicers were elected at the first meeting, and the club started to work at once on the problem, '4Resolved: that the Federal government should give financial aid to the schools. Tryouts for the Debate Team were held' at one of the regular meetings. During debating season, the Debate Club suspended their meetings, in order that their advisers, Mr. Schulz and Miss Eldridge, could concentrate all their excellent and much-needed efforts on the work of the team. As soon as the season was over, the club continued with their interesting meetings. After each debate at the club's meetings, open forum was held in which the members, as well as the advisers, gave friendly and helpful criticism to the debaters. The students of the club have developed readiness of speaking and have become better and more logical thinkers. Here in the club, the students of the team secured helpful suggestions, training, and the spirit that carried them to victory. Aside from the regular meetings of the club, several social events were held. From this club have come a number of students who are now in college and are gaining recognition for their outstanding work.in Debating. Dartmouth, Ohio State, and Otterbein all have representatives of M. H. S. on their debate teams this year.

Although chosen for its wide popularity on the professional and amateur stages, for a few days we thought we were truly skidding-since it seemed at first shallow and too every-day . But as time went on, the truth of the human nature portrayal, the depth and beauty of an every-day family that was as real as any of our own came to usg and we laughed with Paul as the young son learned with Gretchen that school-teacher aunts can teach us to live more deeply, tottered and wept with dead old Gran'pa Stew, grew excited with the patient crowd, sparkled and stormed and grew up with the three daughters, suffered with our handsome Bud, lived and loved and grew stronger with our dear Father Gerald and Mother Marion-and stayed at rehearsals under the instigating tongue of Dave Thomas. The sporting spirit of the cast and their desire to work, work, and work some more for the betterment of the play were their chief characteristics on stage, while their gay comradeship off-stage was a rare and enjoyable experience. Of them all, one could truly say, '6They put their shoulders to the wheel and without looking back, eyes high, gaily, they bore the burden to the end-and were surprised that others thought them worthy of praise. The darker moments were few, and we hope forgotten. The gayer hours were long: any time P. Day was on stage, Gretchen's soothing chatter, the pillow fights, the Pause that Refreshed, and last but not least, the big Night After when the cast spent the party money on progressive refreshments and wound up after the Jug, the Delicia, and Points between in Sweeter's basement. No wonder Gerald stuttered in Chapel next morning! The play was gloriously done and received the praise so much deserved by the cast, for the cast was the most hard-working, lovable, good sports lVl. H. S. has ever seen 'cSkidding to victory on her stage! THE CAT O' NINE TAILS The Cat O' Nine Tailsn by Lawrence G. Worcester was given as the Sophomore class play on February 19, 1935. It contained everything a mystery play should contain: rain, lightning, thunder Q at times in reverse-to add to the mysteryl, frightened women fand some not so frightenedj, idiotic men, a live dog, a skeleton, a trap-door, a dummy QDO you know who played that part?J, a skeleton, fno, that was Lucille-Henrietta herself J, chimneys to climb and get stuck in, closets to get tied up in, couches to get hypnotized on and couches to hide flashlights on fthough what one wanted with a flash- light with Bob Renick's brain and Carleton's nightshirt both on the stage is another mysteryl, jewels, papers worth millions fdid anyone ever find what those papers were?J, notes, notes, notes, and guns! gunsl guns! Who will ever forget those practices? Ed dashing about with, A gun! A gun! My kingdom for a gun! Bob Renick practising going crazy over in one corner, Carleton and Lloyd just acting natural, Bob Billman imitating the director, Almeda's 4'Yo1 always find me talking when you come around, Eleanor Hinkle's giggling tinkles, Bill Young calmly snoozing on the couch, George and Ruth struggling with clinches funder the director's watchful eyej , Lorraine's gradual decline in health to lit her part, Articulate, Ernestine, articulate! -the ever-faithfuls, Peg, Francis, and Betty, our Patsy and his friendly mistress, Marvin and Harold with their noiseless f?j saws, and the frequent five o'clock crime with careful removal of all clues from the floor. The director remarks: MA good piece of work from a cooperative cast, there is real promise for the future plays for this class if the members interested in dramatics continue to improve and to work together as this group did. We had real fun doing this play. Good luck next year and the next, Sophomores ! Eighty eight JUNIOR CLASS PLAY CLARENCE by Booth Tarkington V THE CHARACTERS MRS.

B e tty Lou Timmons Clarence was brought up by cannibals and they clidnft eat him, he could charm beetles with a saxophone, he could udrive mules without swearing at Gem, and he was a famous bug man. In fact he was a jack-of-all-trades , but his specialty was beetles and he was listed in uWho's Whov as an authority on the coleoptera. Yet in the great World War they found no Held for his specialty. So they set him to driving mules. One of the ufive millionn, he served where he was sent-though it was no farther than Texas. He received no medals, no shoulder bars, only a shot in the liver from standing too near the target. Reduced to civil life and seeking a job he finds a position in the home of one Wheeler, a wealthy Englewood man, with a family. And what a family! Bobby, the son, has kissed the housemaid, Della, who threatens a breach-of-promise suit because the butler, Dinwiddie, saw it happen. And now, Bobby is distracted because he has found a higher, more spiritual love. Cora, the daughter, is enraptured with a grass-widower, Hubert Stem, the 'cmost perfect thing that ever came into her life. Mrs. Wheeler, the stepmother, can't discipline the children and is extremely jealous of the governess on whom Wheeler depends so much. Mr. Wheeler with the help of his efficient secretary, Mrs. Martyn, can manage his business, but his family gets on his nerves and drives him to distraction. Rosie, the cook, keeps things stirred up by telling everything she knows. And because he'd been in the armyf, and be:ause he could adrive mules without swearing at femf' Clarence becomes the guide, philosopher, and friend to the members of this agitated family group. He mends the bathroom plumbing, he tunes the piano, and his saxophone playing pours c'Moonlight and Roses into their distracted hearts. It was a real American comedy and the audience rippled with appreciative and delighted laughter, ccClarence was a real delight.

This club, which stands for clean sportsmanship and fine fellowship, is under the direction of Coaches Lingrel and Greene. The club is made up of all boys who have obtained the letter M', and have successfully withstood all hardships of initiation. Last year the officers of the HM Club were elected for this year. The boys drew up a suitable constitution and recently adopted it. Their meetings have been few, but they have been worthwhile. Because of the undefeated football season, the club is going to have a football painted with our school colors, purple and white, and put the scores of all the games of the last season on it. The M Club made it possible for all boys and some men who had obtained the MM in the history of our school's athletics to attend one of the basketball games free. It was grand to see all the former athletes show up in such a large group. The guests had the privilege of sitting with Coach Lingrel. A few social functions have taken place and a dance is being planned. . Each boy has taken part in some sport of our school and has helped to give our school its fine reputation in the sports world. We hope they will always be proud to wear that letter and that the school will be just as proud of the wearers of the M in the business world in the years to come as she is proud of them today in the halls of M. H. S. Ninety-one GIRLS' GLEE CLUB This year's Girls' Glee Club has been the largest for a number of years, and it compares in quality as well as quantity. It is composed of twenty-seven members, who are accompanied by a very capable pianist, Hazel Crawford. Of the twenty-seven members only two of them have previously had glee club work. December 21, the Girls' Glee Club assisted in giving the cantata, the 4'Child Jesusv. They also gave a very excellent chapel program March 6, and were highly compli- mented on their splendid cooperation. Besides the excellent chapel programs the Girls, Glee Club has had a few outside engagements. BOYS' GLEE CLUB The Boys' Glee Club has been small this year, but nevertheless they have shown us they do not lack what it takes to be entertaining and successful. They made quite a hit in Chapel February 6 when they entertained the student body and a few guests. The students will never forget the number, uHome on the Range . The boys sang at the Manchester Hotel March 30 for the Rotary Club, and in return the Rotary Club gave them a delicious feed . Both Glee Clubs under the supervision of Mr. Copp have gained experience in solo work, and boasts of several good solo voices. In addition to the singing, the clubs have been able to study the works of many great composers and have studied music as a vocation. They will again be heard at commencement and we are all looking forward to hearing them.

N inety-two BAND The Middletown High School Band consisted of forty-three members the first semester: but ten more recruited from the free instrumental classes in cornet, trom- bone, and baritone were added the second semester. At the first football game September 14 when our new flood lights were dedicated at Lincoln Field, the band, led by Joseph Copp as drum major, was augmented to the number of seventy-five by former members of the Band. The presence of our faithful Band, which played at eight football games and ten basketball games, added much to the school spirit and helped to make possible a victorious season. In addition to its regular appearance, our band had the honor of leading the parade September 13 in commemoration of Constitution Day. The Band had three drum majors at all the football games, but in November a fourth was added. John Little, a ten year old student of Young School, with his high stepping and twirling of the baton, gave the fans a real treat. He attracted so much attention that he was chosen to lead the Miami Band on Thanksgiving Day. Much of the credit for this organization should be given to Mr. Copp, who so efficiently directs the music and also plans the many surprises that the fans enjoy at the games and other special occasions. ty-three ORCHESTRA . Middletown High School is proud of her fine orchestra, which has proved to be a valuable asset to our school in many Ways this year. On October seventeenth the orchestra made its iirst public appearance by playing in chapel. The program included classics by Pierne, Wagner, Tschaikowski, Grieg, Hayden, and Beethoven. The orchestra was present at the Sophomore Class Play. By playing such a piece as Danse lVIacabri which means '4Dance of Death , these musicians provided an appropriate musical atmosphere for the mystery play. For the Junior Class Play they played a medley of World War songs and other suitable selections. It will contribute much toward the success of the Senior Class Play. Besides performing for the plays, the orchestra played the overture and incidental music for the pageant given May second in honor of the three hundredth anniversary of the founding of the first high school in the United States. Orchestra is scheduled as a regular class, and it is well worth one's time to become proficient enough to be enrolled in it. This class is composed of only those who can reach a certain musical standard, which is set by Mr. Copp. The members of the orchestra become familiar with the better Works of the great composers, and they are able to receive the message or idea conveyed by the composer. Many of the pupils were members of the orchestra last year and have been able to make a more thorough study of advanced music. , With unfailing cooperation and excellent talent, the members have lived up to the standard left them by the orchestras of our schools of previous years and have attained great success under the ellicient leadership of Mr. Copp. TOP-LEFT TO RIGHT First Row-Jean Boggs, Xylophone.

THE STUDENT SENATE ' The Student Senate is the representative body of the school, at whose meetings all pupils can sub- mit their ideas for the betterment of our schoolg and every student can voice his own opinion. After these meetings each senator in his own home room reports all discussions, points out our mistakes, and suggests a way to correct our errors. Each delegate took his place in the Senate Room every second and fourth Monday evening of each school month to take part in the discussion of the questions sent in by the students. Mr. Miller often spoke to the Student Senate. After plans were made by the Senators, they had to be approved by Mr. Miller. If he agreed, they were made known to the home rooms and put into effect. Topics have been discussed pro and con by the Senators. Their subjects ranged from mud puddles on the football field to too much home work. The Senators have efliciently solved all problems brought before the Senate that they had the power to solve. One of the most important subjects that passed through the Senate this year was the subject that last yearis Student Senate started, the adoption of monitors. The Senators can look back on their splendid work of this year and feel proud. It has been a successful year for them under their adviser, Mr. Shaw. Mr. Shaw, a new comer to our faculty this year, took charge of the Student Senate. He hails from McKinley Junior High, one of our new Junior High Schools. He has shown his interest in the senate by giving his helpful advice at the meetings. THE GOLDEN KEY In May, Middletown High School celebrated the Three Hundredth Anniversary of the Founding of the First Public High School in Boston, Massachusetts, by a very elaborate pageant, uThe Golden Key . About two hundred and fifty students were needed to portray the development of the High School through these three centuries of time. A planning committee composed of Mr. Miller, Miss Hoover, Miss Hartman, Miss Eldridge, and Mr. Schulz were assisted by the following teachers: ACT I Much Ado About Something-Miss Hoover ACT II Progress of Universal Education SCENE I The First School-Miss Banker SCENE II The New Nation-Mr. McMillan SCENE III Indian Education-Miss Ellison SCENE IV Negro School-Miss Maier SCENE V Education for Women-Miss Ellison SCENE VI The Kalamazoo Case-Mr. Winkelman SCENE VII Middletown School-40 Years Ago-Miss Eldridge ACT III Education-Then and Now - SCENE I Health and Physical Education-Miss Clark SCENE II Class Room Methods-Miss Barkley SCENE III Extra Curricular Activities-Miss Blair SCENE IV Hobbies-For Recreation-Mr. Pierson SCENE V Applied Education-Miss Hartm.an ACT IV The Open Door-Mr. Schulz ACT V The Grand Finale-Patriotic Drill The pageant had a present day setting as Uncle Sam, the Spirit of Education, and some pupils discussed Education and the Depression. The Three Hundred Years of Development were reviewed when a progressive School Board member presented a series of pictures to convince the doubting School Board members that Education is the Golden Key that opens the doors to the fullest living. The main characters of the Pageant were as follows: Reader ...................,.......,........,..,.............. ....., J erome Haass Uncle Sam ....,............ ,..... .................

Or anized under the careful direction of Miss Hartman, this club has endeavored O g I I I I I I to guide Seniors 1n their selection and preparation for a sultable college. At the beginning of the year tests were taken by the members to determine what they knew and what they did not know about college and about the qualities necessary to make a success of college. The work of the year was then based on these tests. The members were instructed in those things which the majority did not know. Since one of the chief criticisms against the Freshman college student is that he does not know how to use the material provided, one of the aims of the College Club has been to instruct the members in the use of the wealth of material available and the best way to obtain it. Representatives from various colleges talked to this group on the advantages and requirements of their particular college. Another thing of interest was the several tours of colleges which were made to acquaint the student with college life. These tours were also beneficial in helping them in their choice of a college. From letters received from college students, the club members were told of the mistakes of other students so that they might profit by them. These letters explained the greatest difficulties of the iirst year of college and how these things might be remedied. Such subjects as c'The Advisability of Working Your Way Through Collegev, The Cooperative Plan , 6'The Good and Evil of Fraternities and Sororitiesn, Scholar- ships , and 6'Reasons for Entering Collegei' were discussed. Towards the end of the year the members of College Club had a banquet. This was a fitting end to a very profitable year. E .ety-seven MONITORS The idea of having monitors originated in the Student Senate of last year. The end of the year so close at hand made it much too late to start such a problem. This last September the idea was again brought before the student body. It was immedi- ately decided that the school would adopt monitors. Study hall teachers suggested students who could perform this duty. Desks were placed in each corridor for the monitor, and registers were placed on the desks. The monitors were notified as to their duties. There are thirty-five students engaged in the work of monitor of this school. One monitor is on each floor during all periods except the fourth period at which there are two monitors. There is also a monitor in the gymnasium locker room every period. All students who are in the corridors during classes must sign the register on the monitor desk, designating what room they came from and to what locker they are going. This is done to trace all property which is missing from the lockers. It is also the duty of a monitor to direct all strangers that come into the school. A monitor is courteous, kind, and always has a pleasant smile for those who visit our school. Very often the monitor is obliged to show these visitors through the high school. Instead of going to study hall, the boy or girl chosen for the position to act as monitor studies at his desk in the corridor. Although this is the first year we have had monitors we feel that their services have been very valuable and that this plan should be carried on in future years.

N inety-eight COLORED HI-Y The Colored Girls' Hi-Y is composed of colored girls who are interested in discussing problems that confront young people today. It was first organized under the leadership of Miss Louise Clark, who tried to have these girls accomplish the same things as were being done in the other Hi-Y clubs of the city. A constitution was drawn up and officers elected, under whose direction the club had a very suc- cessful year. This year in the absence of Miss Clark, Miss Martha Stewart has ably carried on the work. Problems of all kinds were discussed each week at the meetings held at the Community Center. A number of speakers were brought in to make the meetings even more interesting. The club has also had a number of social functions this year among which were the Christmas dance and the luncheon bridge at Shumaker's Grill in Cincinnati. Under the supervision of Miss Stewart three one-act plays have been presented for the club, and -two productions have been given for the public at Linden Center in Dayton. ln previous years the boys have had a very active Hi-Y club. For several years it was under the direction of lsrael Hughes who is absent from the city at the present time. Since no leader has been found to take his place, this club has had to give up its work for the year. The boys miss the meetings, and the community in which they worked miss the services of the club, so it is hoped that in another year the Colored Boys' Hi-Y will be reorganized. nety-nine BOYS' HI-Y The Hi-Y Clubs have always been an outstanding activity in Middletown High School. The present clubs feel that they have upheld and carried on the old traditions established in former years. The meetings of these clubs have been interesting, worth- while, and beneiicial. The weekly discussions have pertained to every day life and have helped the boys to solve many problems, thus making Hi-Y experiences unfor- gettable and happy ones. The leaders of the Senior Club-Mr. McCandlish and Mr. Tes-mer-whose help, understanding, and patience fwhich was very often sorely triedj have helped materi- ally to make its success possible. The Junior Club under the direction of their capable new leader, Mr. Draut, has enjoyed the same kind of success as the other clubs. Their dances were also a big social attraction and the open', dances were looked forward to by the whole student body. The Sophomore Club, although handicapped by a later start and by not having the advantage of a previous Torch Club at their Junior High School, have made an excellent start this year. With Mr. McMillan and Mr. Ed Dohn as their leaders, the Sophomore Club promises to develop into a really worthwhile organization. The Annual Hi-Y Alumni Banquet, which the Seniors held during the Christmas vacation, was the scene of many happy reunions among old classmates. It was also the time for the recollection of many half-forgotten memories and experiences of former years. Mr. H. H. Horne, secretary of the Y. M. C. A., gave a very interesting and amusing talk about some of his experiences and remembrances. The Boys' Hi-Y Conference was held this year at Marietta, Ohio. Two members of the Senior Club, three from the Sophomore Club, and Bill Wilson, Boys' Work Secretary, ably represented Middletown. Each boy brought back to his respective club the results of each discussion group attended. All live of the representatives agree that this was one of the outstanding events of this school year. The Seniors believe that their Hi-Y Club has been a great success, and that every member will miss those weekly meetings, the heart-to-heart discussions, initiations, dances, and associations more than anything in their high school life.

One Hundred Three GIRLS' HI-Y To create, maintain, and extend throughout our school life and community a high standard of Christian Character, is the pledge that the members of the Girls' Hi-Y groups promise to carry out to the best of their ability. In October the Senior groups were reorganized under the leadership of Miss Veda McCray and Miss Thelma Clevenger, and the Junior groups under the advisership of Miss Virginia Goodwin and Miss Eleanor Thompson. The Sophomore groups, under the leadership of Miss Bess Hoover, Miss Lillie Maier, and Miss Ernestine Roudebush, were initiated January 7. The Girls' Hi-Y have an advisory board consisting of three outstanding women, Mrs. Vance Cribbs, Mrs. Elmo Lingrel, and Mrs. David Gerber. This board directs all the activities and settles all matters of importance pertaining to the clubs. All the leaders are under the supervision of Miss McCray. During the year the girls proved that they were living up to their pledge. They tried to do everything in their power to be of service to the community and the school. The Hi-Y girls always respond very well to the calls of the city organizations which sell rosebuds, poppies, and tags of various sorts. Thanksgiving the different groups distributed baskets of food to the needy families, whose names they secured through the Civic Association. They also gave, for the Garfield Mission, a Christmas party where several gifts were given to each child. Money for food and a crate of oranges were donated to help feed the children at their noon meals. This money was raised in various waysg such as, bake sales, candy sales, and selling Christmas wrapping paper. Our work for others does not cease with our local community for the Se-Fa- Wi-Ha Club has also sent a donation each year to the Near East Relief. Every week the groups hold their meetings at the Y. M. C. A. Each meeting, in which Bible studies and present day problems are discussed, is led by one of the girls. Once every month the Program Committee brings to the meetings an experienced speaker of our community. The girls all look forward to these interesting, beneficial, and worthwhile speeches and discussions. I The Hi-Y girls, as a group, attended a church of the community once a month. Another joint meeting was held in February to hear Richard Caulkner, the son of an African Chieftain, tell about 4'Thirty Wives or One . On the World Day of Prayer all the Clubs met with the Boys, Hi-Y Clubs at the First Presbyterian Church to hear Reverend Porter of Oxford, Ohio. March 2 the Senior Girls gave their annual dance at the Armco Auditorium. Many other social events have been enjoyed by the various groups during the year. The Juniors and Seniors have splendidly carried on the duties and purposes of the Hi-Y Club and should be congratulated on their fine, efficient work. Due to the late start, the Sophomore groups have been handicapped, but we are sure they will show their strength in future years. Our organization now has over 200 members and is recognized as an outstanding club of M. H. S. One Hundred Four LEFT TO RIGHT FIRST Row-Mr. Schulz, Phyllis Stevens, George Grout, Dick Wilmer. SECOND ROW-Miss Eldridge, Junior Schmidt, Winifred Kiester, Knight Goodman. DEBATE TEAM RESOLVED: That the Federal Government should aid public elementary and secondary education by means of annual grants to the several states. The affirmative team composed of Phyllis Stevens, Dick Wilmer, and George Grout, successfully defeated Walnut Hills and West Chester, but lost their last debate to Hamilton F airfield. The negative team composed of Junior Schmidt, Winifred Kiester, and Knight Goodman were victors over Forrest- ville, lVIt. Healthy and Hamilton Fairfield. The Middletown Debate Team was declared champion of District One because they had won more debates th an any other team in the district. In the next round We drew a bye and then the negative team journeyed to Sunsbury, near Dela- ware, where they were defeated and eliminated from the tournament. Reports from Sunsbury say that our team performed excellently in spite of defeat and special mention should be made of Winifred Kiester for her excellent debating. Mr. Schulz and Miss Eldridge deserve a great deal of credit for their untiring efforts each year and the excellent brand of debating displayed by their students. One Hundred Fwe HONORS AND PRIZES, 1934 The Honors have been arranged in the order of preferred groups. A student winning Honors in one group is ineligible to receive Honor in another, except in the groups won by contest and election.

N J 'NJ Owe Hundred Foufrteen ELMO LINGREL Football Coach This fellow could take eleven barefooted, lazy young- sters in hand and transform them into a pack of snarling, vicious Wildcats within a period of one week and have them taking into camp anything Ohio can offer by way of football teams. This year Coach started out with a handful of raw material and developed one of the finest teams this section of the state has seen for many a day. He instilled into his boys something of that old dynamic fight which he thrives upon and they fared forth to give vent to it upon opposing teams. Perhaps that is the secret of their success, the leadership of this fine man and the con- fidence which he gave them. We shall never forget you, Coach Elmo Lingrel. ROYNER C. GREENE Basketball Coach This year Coach Greene turned out one of the finest basketball teams this school has ever had, a team which achieved twelve victories while losing but four. Had it not been for Sister Misfortune who harassed the squad with injuries during the last half of the campaign, the win column might easily have contained more victories. With five seasoned veterans from last year's team to start the season, Greene employed an entirely new offensive system which played a large part in winning games. The team stopped some of the best combinations in the State and was hailed as one of the most powerful teams in this section. JOHN F.

He does his work with utmost precision and always sees to it that the playing field is marked or that the gymnasium is as it should be. He has done his task faithfully and is to be commended for ity and although his work is not as recognized as that of others, it is by no means less important. The success of the athletic season can partially be accredited, to the work of M1'. Winkelman. e Hundred KENT MORGAN LITTLE Student Manager Manager Kent Morgan Little is a likable chap. This makes the first year he has served as football manager, but the second as a basketball manager, which experience has greatly aided the whole managing stai. It is this position of manager that receives the least praise and which should get much. For his outstanding work and loyalty to both his teams and coaches, we here give him full credit and the praise which he most certainly deserves. FRANK SPRAGUE Student Manager Burr-head is the crazy ' one of these three deserv- ing lads. His ever-present wit and humor has helped our teams out of many depressing and embarassing situations. Frank has worked hard this past year as one of the football managers and deserves much credit for the time and effort that he has spent for M. H. S. Few people realize the difhculties these managers have in keeping track of all the equipment and incidentally the players too. JACK ALLEN Student Manager Jack was one of our efiicient student athletic mana- gers who was always on the job ready to help both his team and coach to the best of his ability. Although this was Jack's first year at this work, he performed ably. When the boys were serious or gay, at practice or on a trip, he was right there inspiring both of our teams on to greater victories. There can be no doubt that he has made a hit with our players, for they all sayf Jack's all right. Fifteen C11 123 431 C41 Q IQ Emerson Wendt fCaptainJ , F ullback Bringing to a close a wonderful high school football career, Emmy captained the most suc- cessful football team in the annals of M. H. S. The lone veteran returning from last year's team, he was shifted' from guard to the fullback position to give additional punch and weight to an other- wise light backfield. He was the chief threat in the famed Middie aerial attack and did the push- ing on the push pass. His quick kicks carried his team out of danger many times, notably in the Roger Bacon game when the Middies were pushed deep into their own territory. Hitting the line like a battering ram, Emmy could always be counted on to obtain yardage when needed. . C2j Bob Doughman, Hal fback Bob was a speed merchant especially gifted in ability of skirting the ends. Speed, Speed and more Speed was had in abundance when the fast- est lad on the team had the pigskin in his posses- sion and was off around end with his teammates laying low would-be tacklers. When once past the forward wall he was hard to stop, being a dangerous man in the open field. In the Roger Bacon mix-up he scored the only points of the game in the closing minutes on a brilliant end sweep. He was particularly outstanding in the Dayton Roosevelt game, time after time showing his heels to an inspired Teddy line, and being the only man who could gain much ground around the ends. One Hundred Sixteen Q32 Marty Miller, Quarterback Marty was a diminutive lad but worthy of the signal barker's position. He showed good judg- ment in his choice of plays and more than a few times pulled some unexpected trick that caught the enemy flatfooted. Possessed of drive any fullback would be proud to have, he plunged through the line many times and changing to the tactics of a broken-field man, twisted and dodged for long distances. Ball hawk extraordinary, when Marty became situated beneath some high, towering punt with two bloodthirsty ends bearing down on him, he was oblivious to everything until he had it under his arm and was hotfooting back up the field for goodly amounts of yardage. C4-D Francis Wheeler, Halfback When Frankie tucked that pigskin under his arm and set off on an exploit around end with a couple blockers preceding him, you could bet your bottom dollar he was going places. Fast, shifty, elusive-he waded many times through the whole of the opposition and was touchdown bent, only to be stopped by some ambitious enemy astride his back. He was an excellent pass catcher fre- member that one in the Springfield game?J and oft times pulled them out of the ozone with a multitude of opponents hanging around his neck. Butch certainly delivered the groceries, both in carrying the ball and running interference. e Hundred Seventeen fl, Tilmon A. Ellison, Center Playing a iiashy, bang-up game at the center position, Ellison has established an enviable rec- ord at M. H. S. He has never been known to make a bad pass from center, either short or long. He played guard on defense and his uncanny ability for breaking through opposing lines and smearing the opposition for losses led some coaches to believe he was a member of their backfields. An added feature of Tilmon's was punt blocking, and he amassed a splendid record of seven blocked kicks in ten games. A fine blocker, T. Arthur opened many holes for the ba-cks to scamper through and his good spirit and fighting tempera- ment continually inspired the rest of the team. f2j Tom Davis, Tackle This big husky lad was an- immovable object in that left tackle position. He more than held down his position-he terrorized the whole right side of the opponent's line. Time and again saw him in the enemy's backiield dragging down ball toters with hearty, bone-rending tackles. Time after time he erased opposing guards out of the picture. Both on offense and defense was his presence strongly felt. Although he was injured in the Elder game, Tom came back a few weeks later to carry on in the Portsmouth affair. M. H. S. will sadly miss this grinning, good-natured lad. Gabe Sabo, End Gabe fairly oozed with determination when he ploughed in to nail opposing backs behind the line. He completely forbade anything to trespass around that right end and hardly anything ever went that way. Although not quite so flashy on the passes as others, he could be counted on to do his share of receiving as evidenced by his sen- sational catch and gallop for a touchdown in the Hamilton: fray. Going down under punts like a fiend, he was usually there to protect them when they descended. All in all, Gabemore would be a valuable addition to any man's team. Q4-J Alan Fanning, Guard The smallest man on the line was by no means the least capable. He stood right up with his bigger brethren and -dealt out lots of punishment. He was a deadly and vicious tackler and played a fullback position on defense. Being one of the best blockers on the team, he led the interference on the end plays and seldom missed his man. Alan also was a big factor in pass defense, intercepting not a few passes and knocking d-own not a few more. This little hunk of dynamite is but a Junior and will return to M. H. S. next year where bigger things can be expected of him with a year's experience behind him.

He was one of the reasons why nothin.g penetrated the line from tackle to tackle, as one of his favorite pastimes was to beat to earth some hard-driving fullback. A remarkably cool, steady player, Browerhopper was blessed with a gift of gab which aided greatly in keeping up the spirit of the team when the going got tough. Moving around amazingly fast for such a large fellow, he covered lots of territoryg and being very adept at knocking down stray passes, prevented much damage via the air route. C2j Bill Wroda, Tackle Bill was the large gentleman who devoted his energies to the control of traffic through the right side of the line. He packed a terrific wallop both on offense and defense, and his pugnacious- spirit was easily aroused. When such was the case he tore gaping holes in the enemy's forward wall and went through to do plenty of damage. In the Portsmouth game he displayed his ability by being in on nearly every tackle and throwing men for constant losses. He will be back to romp some more on Lincoln Field next year and you can bet he will be the cause for lots of fur flying. One H mzdred Eighteen Q39 Clyde Bowlin, End We present pass receiver par-excellence. Willis is undoubtedly one of the best ball snatchers ever turned out at M. H. S. He literally sprouted wings when he started off down the field after a pass and usually wound up with it in his arm. Those push passes to him from behind the line of scrimmage were devastating and accounted for not a few t.ouchdowns. He was fast and some- times came around from end to try his hand at toting the ball and he did a splendid job of it. He was by no means a weakling on the defense, performing that portion of his job admirably. He will surely go on to further success in the ath- letic world. Q4-J Merville Buckingham, F ullback Merville was a quiet lad, never saying much, but making up for that by his slash-bang type of play, as he on many occasions split opposing lines asunder and toppled enemy ball toters on their collective ears. Backing up the liner in the capa- city of defensive fullback, Buckingham left noth- ing to be desired, he could tackle, knock down passes, and pile up interference with the best of them. He performed equally well as a fullback or tackle, at which positions he alternated. We admire his coolness under fire and his steady, level-headed playing when the going was diflicult. me Hundred Nineteen fly John Martindale, Guard Mountain Lion Martindale was truly of that nature in his play. He could hold his own with much larger opponents and usually halted any excursions over his side of the line. Alternating between guard and tackle, he did equally well at either position and always could be depended upon to turn in a good performance. He would charge in at break-neck speed and bring to a conclusion many plays behind the line of scrim- mage or pile up the interference for a team-mate to make the tackle. Always slinging a mean line of gab John helped greatly to uphold the spirits of his fellow players. CZQ Bob Popp, Halfback Bob aspired to be- a halfback and he certainly was a fast one, making most of his gains on long jaunts around end., Possessing all the traits which go to make up a good backiield man, he could tote the ball, catch passes, and- block with equal adeptness. In the Lima Central game Popp was called upon to replace the injured speedster, Doughmang and he responded with some speed of his own as he time and again tore off large amounts of yardage to aid greatly in the Middies' success. C32 Louis Mcflandless, Tackle Jellybean was a stone wall on the defense, presenting a serious impediment to enemy pro- gress through his side of the line. With all the alacrity of an elephant out for no good, Jelly would roam around here and there making tackles and assisting others to make them. His offensive blocking could not be scowled upon since he eliminated his man from the play on practically every occasion. Like the other heavy weight, Davis, he was forced out of play by injuries early in the season but came back later to renew the task of playing football and help make a successful team. Q42 Wilgus Combs, Halfback By dent of his speed and deceptive running, Wilgus was a dangerous man when once past the line of scrimmage, and it was a difficult feat to drag him down. He was a capable punter and got off many long spirals, which, with his block- ing, made him a valuable addition to the ranks of Middie ball-toters. His chief claim to fame is his leaping catch of a pass from Sexton, in the Columbus West game which accounted' for a touchdown. He played a nice defensive,,game and also broke up many enemy aerial-,,-thrusts by intercepting the passesgor knocking them down. .x, .. ill 421 C37 147 ms me as N W as mess me sw S 22'msI,LNwzscwsessemxswfsswmwmwrswwmsssxmxmwvwsxwsw C17 429 135 Q45 153 C12 Jack Catching, Guard Jack was another member of that group which bears the name guards. Perhaps one of his most admirable traits was his tenacious guardianship of every square inch of territory assigned to him. He was fast and hard to handle, which made it a difficult task to contend with him. This was his first year of football and he did exceedingly well under the circumstances. Because of inexperi- ence, Catching did not get many chances to dem- onstrate his ability, although when he did get in the game he carried on like a veteran and Q4-I Jim Sexton, Quarterback Jim Dick was the only Sophomore on the first squad and shows promise of becoming a. future M. H. S. star. He could pass, kick, or run with the ball, and his vicious tackling would bring joy to any coach's heart. Not by any means was he the least bit bashful among his older brothers as shown in the Columbus West game when he calmly tossed two passes for touchowns. Keep your eye on Jim in the next two years and watch him go to town . came in for his share of tackles. C35 Lawrence Shackelford, Tackle Constructed along the same lines as a steam- shovel, 'Shack was just as immovable and just as persistent as that inanimate object, if not more so. Although he was no speed demon, he could patrol his share of territory and account for his quota of tackles. His strawberry blond hair might well denote and- characterize his fight- ing spirit. Although Lawrence was not a regular, he could be depended upon to carry the colors into the fray with all the propensities of a regularg an-d his hearty slaps on the back did much to cheer up the team when need arose. Q21 Russell Anness, Halfback Many candidates for backfield positions pre- sented themselves this year and competition waxed strong for the regular berths. Bud was a hard laboring backfield man who was held back because of bad eye-sight, a serious handicap in football. Nevertheless, he was always on the job and his stick-to-it-iveness exemplified the spirit of the squad in general. When opportunity reared its head for Bud to fare forth and wage battle in the halfback position, he was always ready to go and could always be depended upon to take up where others left off. One H undred Twenty C55 Paul F lisher, Guard Paul was greatly handicapped by lack of weight and the fact that there were so many heavier candidates for the guard positions. Nevertheless, his untiring efforts are worthy of praise, for he never ceased trying. The task of preventing him from breaking through the line was one of Her- culean proportionsg and when he failed to get through, he usually went around to make the tackle. It is men of this quality who compose winning football squads and Flisher is to- be admired for his never-say-die spirit. If he plays the game of Life as whole-heartedly as he played the game of football, he will be a success. fly James Ashcraft, Center Ashcraft vied for the center position and took care of the reserve pivot-man duties. Although he did not get much chance to show his stuiT in games, he made an impression in scrimmage sessions with his talkativeness and dogged perse- verance. Being quite a hefty gentleman, the task of hauling him away from the play was somewhat diflicult. With another year of M. H. S. football ahead and a year of Sister Expe-rience behind, James may develop into a center of no mean ability under the excellent tutelage- of instructo-r Lingrel. Good luck next year, Ashcraft. C4-Q Joe Ballard, Halfback A third representative of the Ballard clan steps forth to bask in the football limelight. Jo-e was a Junior member of the squad this year and should do some nice performing as a Senior member, since he has shown much promise to that effect. Another recipient of numerous injuries, Joe was on the shelf a goodly part of the season and his talent was not put to frequent use. However, he was not found wanting in ball carrying ability, and many times he advanced the ball for long distances, all -of which makes him a serious con- tender for backfield honors next year. Good luck, Joe. 13, Kenny Keister, Hal fback Kenny Keister was one of the trickiest runners on the Middie squad. Diminutive but dynamic- those words might best fit him. To catch him in the open field was as simple as catching a hard- running jack rabbit. His tale was similar to those of others-injuries-and as a result the amount of action he saw was limited. However, next year's campaign will doubtless find Keister taking his turn at handling the ball along with the rest of the M. H. S. stars, and because of his ability, we look for him to become a star of the first mag- nitude. Here's wishing you best of luck, Kenny. H undred Twenty-one Q21 A. R. Maupin, End A. Rudolph was an outstanding defensive end. He was hard to block and usually wreaked havoc upon plays approaching in his general direction. Always keeping up the team's spirit with his incessant chatter, Abraham was a valuable factor in its success. Along with his defensive traits he was blessed with unusual blocking ability and hardly ever failed to spill his man all over the field. He will be back next year and with him to ho-ld down one of the edge positions, Coach need have n-o worries concerning that cog in his gridiron machine. 411 CSD Don Forster, End With a year of experience behind, Donald may well be expected to clothe himself in football apparatus next fall and step out and do things in no meager fashion. Possessing all the required qualities of a fiankman such as pass-catching, punt-chasing, tackling, and removing interfer- ence, he has promise of developing into quite an end. Being a good blocker on offense, Don would give any tackle a busy afternoon, and although he is not a heavyweight, he was not handicapped to any great extent because of this. We all wish him the best of luck in aiding Coach Lingrel manufacture- another outstanding gridiron ma- chine next season. C27 133 C43 3 .WSMW . A g . . . t X . , . 2 t , . S, . ,, . ...me ......

H. S. such a feat has been accomplished. Little was expected of these boys at the beginning of the season but they blossomed forth into a flashy, hard,-fighting aggregation of football fiends. Their accumulation of points approximated 252 while the opponents garnered but 19. It was perhaps the hardest blocking outfit that Lingrel has ever stuck together. The success of this team hinged upon the work of each lad and each one did his job admirably. Two veterans and a host of reserve material will return to carry on the football wars next fall and attempt to equal or better the team's record this year.

MINUTE MEN These boys, our Minute Men, are known as Big Johni' Winkelman s pI'OdlglCS Although they do not receive special recognition, they help make pOSS1blC our football and basketball games. They decorate and line the Held, put up the ropes, keep score, and do the 'ccleaning up after the games.

SANDWICH GIRLS Yes, these are the charming maidens who sold candy, ice cream, and delicious sandwiches at the football games. What would we have done without them? They were willing to serve the fans in any kind of Weather, and to miss part of the game if necessary. The girls were always the first ones at the field in order to get the sand- wiches, candy and ice cream ready to serve to the crowd when it arrived. And did they serve the crowd! We are very proud of the record which these girls made this year under the supervision of Miss Betty Rodewig. One Hundred Twenty-five FOOTBALL RECORD M. H. S.

Time and again the Middie backs penetrated the East line for numerous long gains and five touchdowns. A brilliant feature of the game was the elusive running of Frankie Wheeler, which paved the way for many of the scores. On the defense the Middies' line stood out, annihilating East's every attempt and keeping play in enemy territory throughout the game. As a whole the team performed well, considering the fact that it was inexperienced and Columbus displayed four veterans. CINCINNATI ELDER In the second game of the season an ambitious Elder team, up from the Queen City to begin football relations with Lingrel and Co., was handed a 26 to 0 trouncing. The Middies started out in a business-like manner by shoving a touchdown across in the first quarter and repeating the performance in the second quarter. Miller hzeld individual honors for the day by toting the ball over the visitors' goal line two times in the final canto. The Middie line, although it had a busy time stopping Kain, the opponent's star, nevertheless held them to but one first down the entire game. The team, gaining more and more experience as the quarters flew by, had begun to secure the confidence and team-work that was to carry it through an undefeated season. CINCINNATI ROGER BACON Beset by an overwhelming number of bad breaks, Lingrel's Lads came through a hectic struggle with a well-earned victory over the hefty boys from Roger Bacon. The invaders recovered a fumble on the M. S. 11 yard line on the first play of the game but never came any closer to the goal from then on. Doughman, Middie speed merchant, swept wide around end from the 18 yard line in the final minutes for the only score of the game. Time and again before that the Middies had brought the ball within scoring distance, only to lose it by fumbling. Four blocked punts in the second half presented scoring opportunities but old Lady Misfortune was with our boys. In spite of the 6 to 0 score, the Middies outplayed their worthy opponents, both on offense LIMA CENTRAL The Middies next travelled to Lima for their first game on foreign soil and attacked the Lima Central eleven. The home town boys fell before the powerful onslaught of the Lingrelites and permitted their goal line to be disturbed six times during the struggle. They could not stop the strong thrusts through the line or the wide sweeps around the- ends. Wheeler was the offensive star of the day, scoring twice behind perfect blocking by his teammates. The score at the end of the first half stood 31 to 0 but the Central defense tightened in the last half to hold the victors to one touchdown. The Purple line displayed the usual strength, playing havoc with everything the enemy could present by way of offense. DAYTON ROOSEVELT Continuing hostilities away from home the Purple shirts took the Teddy Bears from Roosevelt into camp 17 to 6. The Teddies drew first blood by flashing a brilliant passing attack to advance the ball to the Middie 2 yard line from where Bailey scored. The Lingrelites came to life and behind devastating interference Doughman, Miller, and and defense. One Hundred Twenty-s-ix Wheeler manufactured beautiful and lengthy runs which culminated in a touchdown. After repulsing another attempt in the third quarter, the Dayton boys weakened and Miller drove off guard for the second touchdown. Two safeties in the final quarter resulting from blocked punts added four more points to the Middie total and ended the scoring. Except for a bad first quarter, the Middletonians played air-tight ball. PORTSMOUTH The Purple powerhouse garnered its sixth straight victory at the expense of its old rival, Portsmouth. It was a desperately fought battle throughout and the Middies emerged on the long end of a 14 to 0 score-. At the half the score was 0 to 0 after the Middies had been repulsed on the Trojan goal line. They came back fighting in the third quarter and, with the interference clicking nicely, marched down the field for a touchdown. In the fourth quarter likewise, they climaxed a 58 yard march with a toucdown. The Lingrel-coached crew with its sudden change of formations com- pletely baflied the Trojan defense. The vaunted and widely advertised Portsmouth oHense was bottled up by the Middletown defense. Without a doubt it was the best SPRINGFIELD Before the largest crowd ever to jam its way into the local ball park, approximately 5,500, the Middies dealt out a 19 to 0 walloping to the Wildcats from Springfield. It was that ball club's first defeat in the last two seasons and avenged two successive setbacks at its hands over M. H. S. The Purple Clads completely outplayed their opponents and held them, except for one 38 yard march, in complete submission. They proved their superiority by scoring early in the first quarter on a neat pass from Wendt to Wheeler. Their running attack was stopped from that point until the second half when they got busy and tallied two more touchdowns. Sensational plays were numerous and a one handed catch by Wheeler offeredl plenty of entertainment to spectators and accounted for a touchdown. Frequent penalties and bad breaks prevented a larger score, for twice the Lingrelites were within scoring range and COLUMBUS WEST The Purple Tornadoi' salted away its eighth win of the season t.o the discomfiture of an invading Columbus West outfit in the final moonlight game at Lincoln Field. Before the final gun had cracked, the game had taken on t.he appearance of a track meet with Middie men roaming up and down the field at will, hurdling tacklers, putting passes hither and thither and yonder into the arms of waiting receivers, and in general conducting themselves like an undefeated football team should. The Cowboys from Columbus were never a serious threat to the Middie goal line, being held in the neighborhood of their own end zone .a goodly part of the game. Early in the first quarter Frankie Bulldog Wheeler dashed around end and ran 20 yards to score and begin a series of spectacular plays that afforded the customers lots of entertainment. Every man on the Middie squad got into the game to account for a little damage before the end, and the final score read: M. H. S. 39, Columbus 0. PIQUA In the only afternoon game at home the Lingrelites went forth to joust with the Indians from Piqua and finally succeeded in pinning back their ears 27 to 13. The Indians threatened to overturn the Middie apple cart by scoring in the first quarter. The Middies immediately retaliated with two touchdowns. Later in the second quarter a Piqua man wrestled the ball from Wheeler's arms and ran unmolested to score. At the half the score was 13 to 13. The second half was all Middletown's and they scored two touchdowns while holding the visitors scoreless. The Piqua lads tallied two of three touchdowns made against the Middies this season. By uncorking a beautiful passing offense they were able to accomplish the feat, completely bewildering HAMILTON The Middie aggregation brought the season to a grand finale by subduing our old friend, Hamilton, for the fourth consecutive year on the neutral territory of Miami Stadium at Oxford. Lingrel had his boys playing like fiends and they rode rough-shod over the Big Blue. The Hamilton lads were completely overwhelmed by the determined tackling and blocking of the Purple clad eleven. Miller contributed two touchdowns to the M. H. S. total and Wheeler, Sabo, and Doughman, one apiece. Sabo in the second quarter took a pass from Wendt on the dead run and travelled 24 yards to score, eluding two would-be tacklers, It was by far the most- spectacular offensive feat of the day. The Hamiltonians did not even threaten to score, being held in complete submission by a hard charging Purple line. Final score: Middletown 34, Hamilton 0. played game of the season. failed to register. the Purple pass defense. L-:QQ 1 :n One Hundred Twenty seven C13 421 C33 C47 Q15 Bob Doughman, fCaptainD , Forward Continuing where he left off last season, Bob was one of the high scorers on the team. His speed was advantageous in the fast breaking offense which the team employed, and his defensive quali- ties played a major part in the games which the Middies won by narrow margins. A slump in mid- season did not discourage Bob and he came back as strong as ever to shoot baskets from all corners of the court. He was well worthy of captaining the team and showed it by his never-say-die fight- ing spirit. 12D Emerson Wendt, Center Emmy manoeuvered his big self around quite fast for such a large fellow and could compete on even terms with his- much smaller brothers when it came time to show speed and to account for baskets. Sickness placed him on the mantle during the latter part of the season and as a result the playing of the team was not up to standard on such occasions. Although his knee was injured seriously, ,in the Hamilton get- together, Emmy continued to play in the games of the tournament and'did well regardless of injury. When he was right, it took a mighty excellent person to hold him in submission. One H zmdred Twenty-eight CSD Martin Miller, Forward Marty wound up his two years of basketeering on the first team by establishing himself as one of its most brilliant performers in the final games of the season and in tournament play at Cin- cinnati. He was perhaps the- most consistent scorer the Middies had and never failed to have a healthy appearing total in the scoring column. Although small in stature, he made up for this by his determined fighting. Mart could dribble, pass, and shoot the ball with equal adeptness which, along with his work on defense, pro- nounced him a valuable man for the team. Q40 Otto Robinson, Guard One of the trickiest guards to ever perform in purple pants, Otto was equally effective on offense and defense and his dribbling was a thing of beauty, as he oftentimes dribbled through the opponent's defense to tally. Against Springfield and Hamilton he was a spark-plug in the M. H. S. play and contributed much to the victories over those teams. This was his final year of scholastic basketball and he certainly made the most of it, as he never failed to give a good account of himself. Me Hundred Twenty-nine J flj Clyde Bowlin, Center Willis conceded nothing to anyone when it came to tossing tallies, and his offensive play sparkled with form. He was speedy and derived great pleasure out of pushing past his opponent with the ball and sinking crip shots. Accom- panying this, he was an artist at the long shot trade and could dunk the ball from any angle. Clyde did a good job of rebounding the ball off the banking board and escorting it out of the mad s-cramble under the basket. Concluding his high school athletic career, Clyde has developed himself into quite a basketeer. Q22 Russell Anness, Guard Bud was a quick breaking guard who was ever desirous of creating opportunities for his team mates to make baskets. His pass work was excel- lent, and he displayed unusual skill in bringing the leather sphere out of the back court and set- ting up plays. Although he was not as consistent in the scoring as others, Russell almost always came through in the pinch to deliver a iield bucket that helped things along. His defensive work was such that it took a mighty clever forward to acquire a goodly number of points against him. Q35 Tilmon Ellison, Guard Tilmon was a fighting type of player, always in the- midst of things, yet never resort-ing to unfair procedures. The tougher the going, the harder he fought and when aroused was probably the most dangerous player on the floor. Fouls were rarely called on Tilmon for, although he was a close guard, he was shifty and troublesome to his opponents. His spirit and aggressiveness kept the rest of the team alert and it was probably this quality, which the members of the team as a whole possessed, which enabled them to emerge victors in the-closing minutes of manyof their games. .V , I C49 Mack Long, Forapdrd Mack has completed his second year of play on the team and shows promise of becoming even better than he now is. Possessing an uncanny eye for the basket, he was the- big-gun on the long distance goal-tossing, and his devastating hook shot could not be stopped. When he dribbled through the entire Hamilton team to score a basket and win the game, he showed he possesses additional talent-ability to bounce the ball. He will be back next year to continue as the main- spring in the Purple offense.

S. can be proud of the prowess of her basketball team this year. They went through a diliicult season, encountering some of the best teams in the state, being defeated but four times while winning twelve. Whether winning or losing our athletes always displayed good sportsmanship. Each member of the squad played his part well in building this wonderful record. TOURNAMENT The preliminary tournaments to decide the champions from the Southwestern district were held at the University of Cincinnati gym. The Middies were one of the seeded teams heavily favored to go on to Dayton. Starting with St. Xavier High School the Purple team disposed of them with some difliculty, 29 to 20. Miller performed nicely in this game and scored seven points for the high scoring honors. Still heavily favored to win, the Middletonians advanced upon the Hughes aggregation for a set-to, and found to their dismay that they had hit a dark horse which was Hraring to go. The Hughes boys took a lead early in the game and never relinquished it and at the half-way period led 15 to 10. The story was the same the rest of the game and the Middies came away the loser. The score was 28 to 21. One H undred Thirty BASKETBALL RESERVES Next year will see these boys occupying the spotlight and performing for the school against the opposition. They have given much promise of developing into a stellar team and perhaps will establish an even better record than this year's team.

Starting out in a business-like manner, Greene's men held a 12 to 1 advantage at the end of the first quarter and were never headed thereafter, winning the game by a score of 22 to 14. Displaying a fiashier offense than in days of yore, the team combined fast breaking with accurate goal tossing to afford the customers much entertainment. The team work was exceptionally good, and the scoring was evenly divided among the starting five. LEBANON Hitting the hoop consistently for an impressive total of 29 points, the Purple quintet next subdued a somewhat bewildered Lebanon team to the tune of 29 to 12. The visitors were completely outclassed by the fast-breaking offense and close guarding defense of the Middies, and obtained very few short shots at their own basket. Although their team was composed of taller players, it could not compete with the speed and aggressiveness of the M. H. S. team. All of our boys contributed to the scoring column, and Mack Long, goal-shooter extraordinary, was directly responsible for eight of his team's points, carrying away high scoring honors for the evening. DAYTON FAIRVIEW Traveling to Dayton for the third contest of the season, the Middies overwhelmed the Fairview team 38 to 16, a total that far exceeded expectations. Both teams started out fast, and it appeared that the game was to be a close affair. At the half, the score was 15 to 12 in favor of Middletown. The defense' of Fairview, however, which had held in the first of the game, folded up and was scored against quite' frequently in the last half. Mack Long was again the star of the game, accumulating a grand total of EATON Displaying their prowess on a foreign court for the second time, the Middies conquered a strong Eaton aggregation in a hard-fought battle. The Eaton team conceded its opponent nothing, but finally had- to submit to their superior play. Frequent fouls slowed down play at times, but as a whole the game was fast-moving and plenty of action was had by all concern-ed. The Middies got off to a bad start but soon had regained their poise and shooting eyes. With Doughman leaading the way with eight points, the Greenemen approximated eighteen points to their opponent's thirteen, and came away well satisfied with the victory. ROGER BACON The M. H. S. team garnered its fifth straight victory at the expense of a strong, fast, though small, Roger Bacon outfit. The Queen City lads were completely snowed under by the play of Greene's men, and their defeat was more decisive on the hardwood than it had been on the gridiron. The quick breaking of the Middie team, with Long and Doughman playing leading roles, proved successful against the close-guarding defense of the Cincinnati team. Coasting along to victory, with the, outcome at no time in doubt, the final score was 31 to 19 in, favor of Middletown. DAYTON ROOSEVELT In a hard-fought contest the Teddies of Roosevelt came out the- number two fiddle to a scrappy pur-white aggregation which accumulated 20 well earned counters while granting 16. Many unorthodox shots were attempted by the invaders, and they con- nected with the basket frequently enough to keep close behind the ultimatef winners. The lead changed hands more than a few times in the first half, but the second told a diferent story as the Middies gained a lead they never relinquished. Coach Putty Nelson's last year's state champions gave a good account of themselves but could not cope with the Middie offense. CINCINNATI NORWOOD The Middies waged a bitter battle with the Indians from Norwood before the-y finally succeeded in turning them back with a score of 29 to 26. From advance notices the Norwod scrap was to be a supposedly easy affair for the Purple-, but the Cincinnati delegation blossomed forth into a scrappy, scalp-hunting team and caused our boys no end of trouble. They took an early lead, but this was overcome when the Middies began functioning in the second quarter. Emmy Wendt, the individual star of the evening, totalled nine points during the game and played a fine brand of defensive DAYTON STEELE The next game with Woodward was cancelled by the Cincinnati school, and the Lions of Dayton Steele filled the vacancy. The Steele team was one of the scrappiest to show here this season and, as a result, was in the lead most of the game. Defeat loomed for the Middies until they started clicking in the latter mome-nts of the game. Then they went out in front and remained there to win 23 to 15. There were no individual stars for the evening, but the whole team played a steady brand of basket- ball, and each member was an important factor in the victory, 12 points. basketball. One Hundred Thirty-two WILMINGTON The invasion of the Middies into the camp of the Orange and Black team of Wilmington almost proved disastrous. Somewhat at a loss because of the small floor, the M. H. S. team did not hit its full stride at any time during the game, while the Wilmington team took advantage of this to make the game a close one. Both sides took turns holding the lead, and neither team at any time had a comfortable margin to work from. The hero of the evening was our big center, Emmy Wendt, who calmly sank two foul shots in the last minute to give his team the victory, score M. H. S. 26, HAMILTON The first defeat of the season was the result of a hectic, hard-played engagement with the quintet of our neighbor and rival, Hamilton. The Big Blue got away to an early lead which they maintained the entire game, although the Middletonians were never far behind. Both teams had won nine straight contests and the battle was fiercely waged for a continuation of winning streaks. Thrills were many during this game, and spectators were kept on the edges of their respective seats throughout. Hamilton decided the issue in the last few minutes by bringing her score up to 19 points while the Middies were totalling 15. PORTSMOUTH The M. H. S. quintuplets next engaged in combat with the representatives from Portsmouth and were the recipients of a 24 to 17 setback. The visitors attacked with terrific onslaught in the second and third quarters and made enough points to insure a comfortable lead the remainder of the game. It was the second loss of the Middies this year and was a hard pill to swallow in view of the fact that it was the- first time a Portsmouth team had beaten Middletown on the M. H. S. fioor. Jim Sexton, a sopho- more who seems destined to star in the future, made four goals for a total of eight points to lead in the scoring. Wilmington 24. SPRINGFIELD Struggling mightily, but fruitlessly, the Middies were tendered a 31 to 20 reversal by the Springfield Wildcats in a contest held at the Springfield gym. The long distance guns of the enemy were functioning full-blastg and- at half time, by dint of a number of field goals from the center of the floor, they had obtained a comfortable margin of 23 to 10, a margin upon which they coasted down the home stretch to victory. The Middletown warriers fought viciously throughout, but to no avail, as the first half drive of the Springfielders had rendered the Middies' cause almost hopeless. Mack Long, besides playing a wonderful floor game, was the offensive hero of the game with WITHROW In a matinee game at Cincinnati Withrow, Middletown was hand-ed its fourth straight loss at the hands of a taller orange team by a score of 20 to 18. M. H. S. led at the half period 10 to 7, but Withrow came back fighing and took a lead which the Middies found was not to be passed. The shifting zone defense of the Queen City boys proved to be a very effective one, and the only offensive weapon to be employ-ed against this was long-distance shooting. These shots failed to connect frequent-ly enough, and as a. result, defeat was the ultimate outcome. SPRINGFIELD Displaying a spirit which would not admit defeat, Greene's team out-fought a heavily favored Springfield outfit by a score of 17 to 14 and thus gained revenge for a previous defeat infiicted by the Reapers. The game was a rapid succession of spectacular plays, and at no point during the contest did excitement wane. After overcoming a four point deficiency in the second quarter, the Middies went ahead and stayed there the remainder of the game. Bob Doughman emerged from his slump and was responsible for seven tallies to lead the field in the scoring column. DAYTON STIVERS Another representative from Dayton fell by the wayside before the sharp-shooting offense presented by the Middies, when the Stivers combination was conquered 26 to 23. The Stivers' boys were plenty good, and it was only by the hardest kind of fighting that they were able to be subdued. They started fast and at the mid-way mark had accumu- lated 13 points to the Purple's 9. But in the second half the Middletown lads- built themselves a scanty lead and clung to it the rest of the game. The visitors made a determined bid to win in the final minutes but fell short by a 3 point margin. HAMILTON In the presence of the largest crowd of fans to view them in action this season, the Middies beat into submission a hard-working Big Blue team from Hamilton by a score too close for comfort. The 13 to 12 final score denotes the defense each team presented but does not tell of the excitement which waxed strong every minute of the game. Mack Long in the final minutes tallied a field goal and foul shot to bring the score to 11 to 12 in favor of Hamilton. Then with both teams fighting desperately for victory, Doughman came through with a goal to put the Middies in the lead and won the game. This brought to ap close the most successful basketball season in recent years. 11 points. One Hundred Thirty-three I Z-5 fm ,-s., vw-fs 1.1.1 LLX-x ta l ! L'-9 mx xx xx SK UAA' UQ: X .

One H undred Fifty-four ut Your I nowledge To vivo ork! You have now completed twelve years of school. You have learned many things during this time, the most important being the ability to think for yourself. Some of you will enter college, while others will begin your business careers. Sooner or later you will accept responsibili- ties that will require your purchasing many things. For your own homes you will need ranges, refrigerators, washing machines and other kitchen, laundry and bathroom equipment, finished in porcelain enamel. Remember that Armco INGOT IRON is recognized as The Wor1d's Standard Enam- eling Iron. Some of you may have the responsibilities for purchasing iron or steel for great manufacturing plants, or for construction or maintenance. So remember, also, that Armco has not only been a pioneer in the making of line quality iron and steel, but that these products are used throughout the world by the most exacting manufacturers. Armco makes many different kinds of iron and steel sheets -a grade for every conceivable use. The Armco trade-mark is a safe guide to follow when purchasing either sheet metal or Hnished metal products.

Walter Back-Basketball. Walter Back, who is by the way, the captain and center of the Narcissus Sissys , announced that his team was beaten last week by Shirley Temple's Lolly pops . Capt. Back said his next game would be with the Dionne Quin- tuplets. The betting odds favor the Cana- dian iive 10 to 1. Merville Buckingham, Mr. Back's manager, reported that he was bet- ting on the Dionne five. 2. George Crout-Football. Our reporter had quite a struggle with this ruiiian and received a black eye to get this information for you. It seemed as though Mr. Crout liked several brutal sports including wrest- ling and free-for-all, but finally confessed that he liked the good old game of football est. 3. Gabe Sabo- Drop the handkerchief . Gabe thinks there is nothing better than a good game of drop-the-handkerchief with the gang. 4. Fred Stork- Who's got the button. Fred likes Post Office also.

Bob Doughman- Crocheting , Be- cause Mr. Doughman so appreciated the graceful technic of this art, he discarded his primary pastime, hide and seek , for this one. Mr. Doughman has made the best choice, we believe, for after all there is a future to this work. 6. Emmy Wendt- Checkers, tit-tat-toe, dominoesf' Emmy appears to be an all-star in these three. He boasts a fine record of 64 victories and one defeat over Marty Miller, the champ from Waterloo. Emmy says Miller cheated in the first game and this accounts for his one defeat. 7. Roger Hughes- Track, pole-vaulting -a specialty. ' Take .a tip, you beginners, follow the advice of Mr. Hughes and per- haps you may some day own the muscular form possessed by this champ. 8. Knapp Starling+ Cowboys and In- dians. Many champs are yet to come And these same champs will go, But none of these will e'er compare To the original chief--Harpo. 9. Carvel Busey- Toe-dancing.

Of course, it is natural for a person planning a piece of printing to say, How much will it cost? The price does not have a thing to do with it's effectiveness. What you really want to know is what will it do .... will it produce results for you? Keep that thought in mind always .... when you buy printing. Will it produce results? rather than What will it cost ?

It is divided in two parts- The players anld the toys. The toys are those- we call the scrubs, Whose lives are made a drudge By the hard driving first team men, No wonder there's a grudge. The scrub is really fighting hard To make the honored place On the first team, but all he gets Is a cleat right in the face. This cleat will cause a scar, of course, And mar his handsome mug, But he would gladly eat a cleat To be a first team plug. The girls notice his marred profile, But here com-es in the rub, While they express their sympathy They learn that he's a scrub. The letter man nfow comes along, No mark upon his face. But he is in great favor while The scrub is out of place. The scrub thinks as he walks away If he were six foot ten, A different part he then would play, He'd be some lady's man. But hopes are vain in lives of scrubs, They must be puny squirts, To take the Sass of coach and stars, Who make them eat the dirt. Can't someone see that these same boys If they were man enough, Would rid the world of first team men, And wouldn't that be tough? But all they do is sing and: laugh, Their thoughts are known by none, No boy or girl shall know their hopes, Because they tell no one. I know because I am a scrub, I know, and I'm not dumb, I know that we can kill the stars And make their toe nails numb. But we are sports, you can't say no g We pity the big punks, If we got mad and wanted to, We'd make them look like skunks. Just remember, you s-tu-dents fair, The scrubs they make the team, And girls, you might give them a break They'll think they're in a dream. So do not think the lowly scrub Is merely a weakling lad. We're really tough, you ought to see Us when we're good and mad. -A Scrub. One Hundred Ninety Compliments of The Central Store Home Owned! Home Operated!
