Panpiliinv As the early morning dawn came thundering up over the hills, the roar of sixteen Curtiss-Wright pursuit planes split the mist-laden air. Yesterday there had been twenty-four planes. After each raid on the enemy base, the number had decreased. The planes took off and flew east. The commander of the patrol was Captain Melvin Franklin. As they drew near their destination, he spotted their objective. Enemy planes were on the ramp, ready for the take-off. He gave the signal to attack. Sixteen pilots dipped their ships earthward. Thleyroared down on the unsuspecting enemy and dropped their missiles of death and destruction. They then zoomed upward, preparing for another dive. Two of the planes hadn't pulled out of the -dive, and they crashed against an ammunition storehouse. A thunderous explosion followed. Anti- aircraft guns were in action. Some of the enemy planes, which had escaped the first bombing, took off. Captain Franklin gave the signal to attack again. Thistime three more planes were shot down, but the enemy? gfuns :Vere silenced. Then followed a fight to down the planes which had escaped. Captain Frankli-n caught sight of one of the planes. He pressed the triggers of his forward guns and saw the plane explode in mid-air. By some unknown instinct he felt that he was being followed closely by an enemy plane. He was right! He tried to outmaneuver the plane, but it stuck to him like a leech. Suddenly, he was hit! Somehow he must remain in the air until the attack was completed. He saw the last enemy plane shot down and their objective in flames. The eleven battered planes limped home with their wounded leader. They blasted the enemy's air base, thus delaying their advance. Captain Franklin was a hero. q However, he was placed in the army hospital as soon as he alighted. He had to remain there several weeks and then was sent to a hospital at Miami, Florida, for a complete recovery. This was rather tiresome for one who was so used to excitement. Lying in bed, looking at four white walls soon became monotonous. just when he was feeling unusually depressed, a nurse walked in with a package of letters for him. He almost whooped for joy as he opened the first one which said: I Continued on Page 1041 Jfmrfitm Lnnknmanx. In Memoriam PAUL GATES 1923- 1941 Middletown High School regrets the loss of a student and true friend. Paul was uncomplaining and willing to do his duties both at home and at school. Few of us knew him intimately because of his shy and quiet disposition. His chief interests were tennis, softball, and basketball. Those who really knew his innermost thoughts feel a great loss of this loyal companion. We pause for a moment in his memory. l' J UfhfU' E nergefic E ndeavor N ecessifaf S ucce , 1X Q JI I x nn.

We Gal In Me Swap Middletown Senior High School has always been famous for its support of public activi- ties in the community, and in the state and nation. We have always been conservative in the use of time and material, but after Pearl Harbor, Dec. 7, 1941, we really got down to business dead in earnest. This began with an address by our principal before the student body in which he gave us as a slogan Get In The Scrap . The phrase was so attractive be- cause of its double meaning and the appeal so strong that the students and teachers from then on vowed to do every- thing they possibly could, in- dividually and collectively, to win the war-to save every- thing we possibly could and to serve in every way we were able. v s We began this work by tak- ing out from under the build- ing, in the unexcavated part of the basement, scrap iron and other metals that were left there at the time of the erection of this building. This scrap metal of various kinds amounted to several tons. We began at once to save paper, using yellow paper wherever possible instead of white test ?' M paper, writing on both sides WM of our theme paper, using half sheets of test paper whenever possible, and being much more careful with our use of paper in the typing classes. We also began to gather up old papers, magazines, news- papers, and things that had been stored here and there in various rooms. The Middletonian staff, the Optimist staff, the Athletic Asso- ciation, the Music Club, and others all did their part in gathering up old papers and turn- ing them to possible use. The boys on the Optimist staff gathered all the old engravings from many years past and separated the cop- per from the wood, and sold several hundred pounds of copper which, we understand, is so badly needed. In the publishing of this issue of the annual We have done everything possible to econo- mize. We have eliminated two signatures fthirty-two pagesj. We have sacrificed the pic- tures of all the clubs of our high school. We know many of the activities will miss these group pictures, but it is done willingly in the spirit of sacrifice. Thus we have saved on our costs at the pho- tographer, the engraver, and the printer. We have worked desperately to keep the cost within our budget. We hope that you, our dear Reader, will have this same spirit and accept this annual under these conditions. We think it is a marvelous book, considering the cost of everything now and the way we have tried to save to produce it. Everybody has tried to save time, it being an important factor. Many students have secured employment in spare time. Others have elected additional school work, some even attending night school. Early in January we began the sale of De- fense Stamps and Bonds. An attractive booth painted red, white, and blue was erected in the lobby of our building. Cashiers were elected in each home room, and a machine was set up to handle these stamps and the money. At the time of this writing QFebruary 27, 19423 the weekly sales amounted to S470.95. This remarkable accomplishment has spread fContinued on Page 1322 i671 Q.. L.

The Middletown High School football team got off to a fast start in their 1941 football campaign by downing a -deter- mined squad of Columbus East gridders, 26 to 0. The Middies showed great pos- sibilities as the line tore holes in the up-stater,s line and the drive in the backfield was hard and fast. Gregory was the spark of the Middies' attack, scoring on three long runs. Jumbo', Moore and Bert Bailey supplied the rest of the scoring and made the victory a slam-bang alilair. Columbus West The Middies showed no mercy for their Columbus neighbors by erasing Colum- bus West from their schedule in the form of victory. In marking up their second win of the current season by a score of 13 to 0, the Middies showed a sign of butter-fingers but soon got rid of the fumbles to make the West team play with its back to the wall. Again Gregory showed signs of stardom as he scored the two touchdowns and set up numerous chances to score, only to be spoiled by the fumbles. Woodward Lincoln Field was the scene of wild disor e to the Woodward boys as they, ' lete reversal, slipped and fell W Mfzle h n,ds of a ruthless of Mid 9 o,. ' grid ers by a score of to 0. In in 4125 yards from scrimmage, the s' m was supplemented by a very capa e second and third team which showed prospects for a good team next year. Everyone that played in this game gave a good showing and they proved what a complete squad we had this year. Columbus Central The Middletown High School football machine racked up its fourth straight win by downing the scrappy and stub- born Central team of Columbus, 13 to 0. The scoring in this game was in the first and last quarters by Moore and Bailey, but the Middies showed the effects of tough opposition coming their way. In this game the Middies lost the valuable line play of Douglas Cox, guard, who injured his leg during a practice session. It was evident in this game also that when the Middies get a good start down the field, they're hard to stop. Wifhrow The Middies' winning streak of four straight was stopped by a fast-stepping Withrow outfit along with the punting of Horace Pumphrey. The scoring started with a safety when a Withrow man was caught behind his own goal line. Then Withrow pulled a triple-reverse which ended in a touchdown. Gregory put Middletown out in front by a brilliant 47 yard run after he had fumbled the ball, but this was quickly surpassed by .mvl BARNES. uma n. CHARLES 1-xAR'nwAN,t1a1fIgwgc!s, if a 66 yard advance by Withrow and vir- tually a touchdown. The Middies held Withrow the entire second half without a score while passing themselves to an- other touchdown which tied the game at 14- to 14, and that is how it ended. Little Bert Bailey was benched in this game due to an injury sustained in practice, but the Middies showed deter- mination, the power to drive, and fight to the last. Portsmouth The Middies took to the road and in- vaded Portsmouth Municipal Stadium only to battle the Trojans to a 13 to 13 tie. The Trojans scored their tallies in the first and third period, while the Mid- dies didn't start clicking until the fourth quarter. In this quarter Gregory fiipped two passes, one to Barker, the other to Mehl, resulting in two touchdowns. Each team converted once on their points but failed on the second try, thus leaving the score deadlocked andmaking the second tie in a row for the Middies. Springfield The Middies on their second road trip' of the season received their only defeat from the band of Springfield's Wildcats, 7 to 6, on a soggy, windswept gridiron. The Wildcats were pushing at the Mid- die defenders but hard play at the right moments stopped all Springfield ad- vances. Despite soggy conditions the Springfield team passed their way to victory and thus set the Middies back on their heels because of the lack of con- version after their touchdown. The out- standing plays on the side of the were the beautiful Moore at an kick and the Gregory, who scored t e our boys. wi The Middies returned to the win column by means of a 45 to 0 swamping of Elyria.

Our boys scored at will and the second and third teams were outstanding in the scoring of the seven touchdowns. They scored two in the first period, one in the second and third periods, while they were really Hon as they hit their stride in the last period with three touchdowns. This game could be considered a prac- tice game leading up to the Hamilton contest. Hamilton Hamilton invaded Lincoln Field and went home with a 6 to 6 tie. The two teams battled nip and tuck all the way through the four quarters, each scoring in the first half. Gregory and Moore were the spearheads of the Middie attack which threatened more than once the Big Blue goal line, while on defense, Eddie Orman played a bang-up job in nailing the Hamilton runners before they got a good start. This tie made the third of this season, and next year the teams will battle it out to find out who wins this continued game.

The Middies made their usual jaunt to the Coliseum at Dayton to vie in the South- western District Basketball Tournament. In the first game Middletown defeated the Franklin Wildcats by a sizeable margin of 34 to 26. This win qualified the Greenemen to face Monroe, unbeaten in seventeen straight games. The game was tied at 20 to 20 at the end of the regulation time, but ,lim Patton put through a pivot shot to win the game for the Middies 23 to 21. Next in line came Wilmington who handed the Nliddies a scare in another overtime game, but our cagers scored tirst to ring up their third win of the tournament. Dayton Roosevelt and Middletown fought for the championship of the lower bracket of the tournamcnt, but this time the overtime period was too much for them. The score was deadlockcd at the end of the game 18 to 18. ln the first overtime Middletown scored on a held goal, and Roosevelt sank two charity tosses, so the game was extended another overtime period or 'asudden death . ,lim Gift spelled defeat for the lVliddies as he scored from the held to send his team to victory, 22 to 20. The Middletown High 1-agers set a record for the State by having to play three consecutive overtimes in one tournament. 1881 Franklin Although leading throughout the first three quarters, the Middies were handed a scare by the Franklin Wildcats. The score was tied by Franklin as the time stood at two minutes to play, but a couple of timely shots iced the first win for the Middies of the 1941-4-2 season. The Middies bedecked in red, white, and purple uniforms, were paced by .lim Patton, who had 11 points, and ,lim Wells with 10 counters. ,lack Rupp, guard, Earl fEliJ Worthington, forward, and Gene Turner, guard, played a great hand in winning by a 33 to 32 score. Stivers The Middletown Middies turned in their second victory of the current season by setting down a mediocre Stiver squad, 35 to 26. The Middletown Middies took a commanding lead in the first half which was never relinquished. Forward Jim Wells made the hoop really sing as he swished in 17 points to set a hot pace for the Middies. J im Patton continued to exhibit scoring ability with 8 markers for second laurels. Xenia Central The Middies proved to us and their coach that they had the stuff to beat a veteran team. Outplaying, outscoring, and com- pletely outclassing the veteran Xenia squad, they turned in their third win of the present season by an 18 to 1.5 score. Leading the Middies in this game was Wells with 8 tallies. Jim Patton took care of Xenia's star, Winter, allowing him but 3 points. This game proved that our squad this year has not an inferiority complex because of the record of last yearis great team. Norwood Center .lim Patton and forward ,lim Wells paced the Middies in subduing the Norwood Indians from the Queen City. The Middies kept their undefeated record by placing the Indians on the low end of a 411 to 16 count. In pacing the Middies, Wells got 13 points, while Patton was close behind with 12. Coach Greene uncovered a fancy player, Homer Sorrell, in this game. This change made the team look better and they played like champions. Miamisburg The Middies hung up their fifth straight win in downing a scrappy squad of Miamis- burg cagers 30 to 15. The game was literally a football game as there were numerous occasions when pile-ups were seen. As usual, Wells and Patton led the Middie scorers via the field goal route. Greene also had a chance to see his reserves and substitutes in action as the Purple wave took the game with ease. Kenton The Middletown Middies, starting on their first road trip and their first league game, chalked up victory number six and also their first Greater Ohio League game by downing Kenton 4-5 to 30. The Middies, led by uBig Jimi, Patton with 16, and .lim Wells with 11 points, completely outclassed the smaller, but still strong, fighters from the up-state school. Timn Thr- Nlithlies tastect their tirst Jose of defeat as they tell nntler the reign ot' Tiflin. 330 to 251. A strong zone defense and a sharpshooting squad was all that kept our hoys from heing 1-lose lo the foul shot artists as the opponents tosseml in It foul shots out ot' 16. Jim W1-lls kept the Nlithlies within valling distance as he put 6 markers under his helt. 'I'urner was next with 5 points. U01 Springfield The Middies kept their rating as first in the Greater Ohio League by downing a scrappy Springfield team led hy Elmer Bean, the eight letter man. The boys got off to a shaky start and were on the short end of the score at the end of the Hrst half, 22 to 17. Showing power in the second half they tied the Wildcats, then spurted ahead and retained that lead until the end of the game, coming out with a 32 to 28 victory. Wells and Patton shared scoring honors with I2 markers each. l'91'l Lima Central Because of an inability to stem the long-shot masters of Lima Central, the Middies tasted their first defeat in 27 games on their own floor, 32 to 29. The locals experienced an off night and the Central players were hot , but regardless of the loss Wells continued his scoring pace by slipping through 12 pointers to lead the Middies. Portsmouth The Middletown High Cagers again gained first place in the Greater Ohio League by downing Portsmouth 37 to 26. This game marked the 150th win for Coach Greene in his 13th year as coach of the Middies. Wells, Patton, and Rupp divided scoring honors for the Greenemen, mak- ing 9, 8, and 8 points respectively. U21 Hamilton The Greenemen marked up win number nine as they swamped their traditional rivals, Hamilton, 444' to 19. The Big Blue were weak on defense and couldn't connect with the basket on their offense, while the Middies scored at will, hitting 4-0 percent of their shots. Forward ,lim Wells put through eight field goals and four free throws for 20 points and was the big gun in setting the Hamilton cagers back on their heels. Dayton Roosevelt The Middies defeated Dayton Roosevelt 33 to 26 to ring up victory number ten. Jim Wells led the scoring for the Middies with 12 points while Gift had 16 for the Teddies. The first half of the game was a see-saw affair, but as usual the Middies poured on their second half offensive power and went on to win by a sizeable margin. Norwood The Middletown High cagers traveled to the Norwood gym where they put a scalping touch to the Indians, 50 to 19. The Middies hit an on night and left the Indians to crawl into their tee-pees for another year. Wells and Turner led the Greenemen in scoring with 15 and 144 points respectively. Homer Sorrell turned in a good defensive game as did the Middle Reserves who finished the job in easy fashion. Portsmouth The Middies took to the road, traveling to Ports- mouth where they stopped the Trojans cold by a 39 to 29 score. Because of roughness 29 fouls were called throughout the game. ,lim Patton led all scorers with 15 points but close behind was Horton, Portsmouth forward, with 13 tallies. Again the second half spurt by the Middies proved too much for the challenger and the Middies racked up victory number twelve. I93I Springfield Springfield High avenged an earlier defeat at the hands of the Greenemen by trouncing the Middies 25 to 19. In winning the game, the Up-Staters moved into the tie for the Greater Ohio League crown and then later moved on to win the crown. Johnson, flashy negro forward for Springfield, scored on long shots consistently. In the last quarter the Blue and Gold passed the Middies and never relinquished their lead. Hamilton The Middies ended a brilliant cage season by downing an eager team of Big Blue cagers 30 to 22. In winning, the Middies left a season's rec- ord of 13 wins and 3 losses which is good in any man's league. Again forward Jim Wells led the Middies to victory as he garnered 11 counters. Even though the Middies were handed a scare, they pulled away from their opponents with ease and completed their season in brilliant fashion. RESERVES FIRST Row: Clarence Long, Walter Wendt, Dick Boxwell, Bob Vogelsang Tom Sixt, Paul Bach, Louis Cohen. SECOND Row: Tom Class, Tom Croake, Howard Scheuller, George Hagen Wilford Palmer, Coach Ellison. The Middletown High Reserves not only went through the season undefeated, hut were the champions of the Greater Ohio League. Coach Tiger,' Ellison led these future Middies through one of the toughest seasons ever tackled by a second team in the history of the school. Chick,' Boxwell and Paul Back were the leading scorers for the Reservesg while Boxwell, Vogelsang, and Wendt showed up favorably in the tournament in which the Middies were put out by Dayton Roosevelt. Coach Greene has three positions to he filled hy these boys for next year's team, and reserve material will be excellent.

Girls welcomed the change of activi- ties, which served as a bolster for their interests and made gym classes something to look forward to. Last fall the girls engaged in volleyball. Along with this game, deck tennis was played, which is very similar to volleyball. Between the period of volleyball and basketball, the usual activities such as ballroom and folk dancing, relays, posture work, exercises, and other recreational games were displayed. The girls found variety in tumbling by forming pyramids and doing other stunts. Baseball was a welcome game by the girls. Teams were organized and tournaments held in this activity. The winning team consisted of Helen Comia, Venie Helton, Helen Thompson, Betty Brate. Virginia Dennis, Berneda Mack, Lillian Allen, and Vanoise Calhoun. Side line basketball, a modified form of regulation basketball, preceded the regular basketball season. Several weeks were spent in teaching the girls the fundamentals of the game, such as, what you should do and what you shouldn't do. The champion basketball team consisted of lVIary K. Crout, Lela Custin, ,lane Kash, Jean Kash, Mary Frances Smith, Charleen Shetter, Geneva Jones, Ruth Schweitzer, Thelma Boxwell, and Patty Barnhart. Toward the latter part of the year students made their own choices as to types of games they were interested in. When the gym classes ended-they did so, knowing that their activities had been a success. r--1 BASEBALL RECORD Middletown 8 Automotive 4 Middletown Withrow 6 Middletown 23 Trenton 0 Middletown Hamilton 2 Middletown 6 Lebanon 5 Middletown Withrow 4 Middletown 2 Springfield 4 Middletown Withrow 10 Middletown 6 Springfield 2 Middletown Fairview 4 Middletown 14 Monroe 1 Middletown Hamilton 0 Middletown 3 Miamisburg 5 Middletown Franklin 1 Middletown 7 Miamisburg 6 Middletown Roosevelt 0 Middletown 2 Withrow 11 Rodney Caudill, Captain BASEBALL SQUAD KN!-:Ex.INc: Calvin Blount, managerg Charles Bolton, second baseg Jim Wells, right fieldg Walter Wendt, shortstop, Paul Payne, catcher, Ted Davis, second baseg Chalmer Hughes, pitcherg Jim Lee, pitcher, Bob Vogelsang, pitcher.

Six of them graduated, leaving Coach Greene with above average material with which to work for this year. l96i INDIVIDUAL RECORDS The following individuals were outstanding players of the 194-1 M. H.

On the field, at all times, there prevailed a spirit of sportsmanship, unity, and a will to learn more and try harder. All the boys were working for each other, trying to make the team better. Sure, there were a few outstanding players, but they didn't worry about the team winning, and as the records show, this brought results-good results! This spirit of teamwork is characteristic of all sports at M. H. S. Baseball, although compara- tively new at Middletown High School, will find that if this sense of cooperation continues to exist in future years, they will have many successful seasons to come.

However, I donit ever expect to accomplish what you did, but I can hope, can't I? I was back in dear old Middletown on a furlough last week. It sure was good to be back and see so many of our old friends. I dropped by to see Mr. and Mrs. .loseph Roderick Baker, Jr., the undertakersg you know, the former Patty Barnhart. And, of course, Charleen Shetter was visiting them too. Where you see one you can always expect to see the other. She is the physical education teacher at Roosevelt Junior High School now. She told me that Jack Rupp is the coach there. Bob McMullen and Ted Conley are now supervising a youth center in Middletown. I guess you can recall how badly we all wanted one then. Pauline Myers, Betty 0,Neill, Mary Orach, Dorothy Peck, and Eileen Pressler were waiting tables when I was there. I had a few evenings in which I had nothing to do so I stopped by the library to get a book to read, and, of all people, Ruth Case and Ulive Wetzel were the li- brarians. I couldn't come back without stopping to see how things were coming along at our old Alma Mater. Frances Conrad is now the quiet secretary to Don Yenser, the Prin- cipal. Edna Allen, Louella Smith, and Mary Ruth Bendel are ollice girls. ,lean Kash is the stenographer to the superin- tendent of the schools in Middletown. Esther Scott is teaching first aid, Mary Lee Bales is teaching English, Marguerite Ad- kins is teaching physical education, and Leonard Alderton is teaching mathematics there. I went to the show one evening and saw Gerry Robinson and Bill Wilmer in Love Affair .

As I ap- proached the booth to buy my ticket I came face to face with Edith Thomas. Then when I entered the door Bill Patterson took my tickets. Of course, I just.couldn,t pass the candy counter, especially since Ann Orth was working at it. Acting as ushers were Paul Medley, John Mills, Ebbie Minor, Francis O'Flynn, and Walter Perry. I met Mr. and Mrs. Jack Keever tPeggy Adamsi in Ross' one day. Bob Cray is now manager there. Jean Ann Sexton, Thelma Rose, Teresa Stahl, and Treva Steele are clerks, and still running the elevator is Bob Walton. Jr. Whitehead is the chief lab expert at Armco Laboratory Research. Howard Lar- sen and Ted Martin are also working there. I stopped in the Castell Drug Store just before I left for camp and I saw Bob Click who is now the pharmacist. Several of the girls who graduated in our class are now in the Ambulance Corps. Catherine Meehan, Imogene Lawson, Vera Fugate, Geneva Jones, Mabel Young, Irene Willsey, Martell Wills, and Nellie Wil- liams are stationed near my camp. Frank Botos, Joe Goodloe, David Hub- bard, George Margerum, Edward Sintz, and Jim Patton are stationed at Camp Shelby with me, although I see very little of any of them. Well, it is almost time for the lights to go out, so I must close. I hope you are much better by the time you get this letter. Your school pal, Frank Smith Columbus, Ohio July 16, 194-7 Dear Captain: I was sorry to hear about your acci- dent, and I hope you are feeling better by now.

They gave an exhibition at the fair last week and guess who was there-Mary Smith. Yes, she was selling defense bonds to raise money for her country. Ray Halsey was also there. He and Agnes Dillon gave a performance on the trapeze. Do you remember James Aera? One was never able to go in the Y without seeing him-well, he is in charge of the boys, activities there and as a sideline has made himself the champion pool player of Middletown. Of course, a lot of the boys had to go to the army. ,lack Keiser never got any farther than a private. Tom Greene became a corporal. Don Asbury became the head of the Motorcycle Squadron. Bill Howe joined the air corps. I always did think he was high-minded. Edwin Decker is a distinguished ex-service man, just out of the marine corps. And do you remember that sleepy look- ing Dan Easton? He demonstrates the sleeping quality of Snooze and Snore mat- tresses. Rissie Adams is happily married to City Commissioner Harold Walters. Bert Bailey is now running for the office of Secretary of State of Ohio. Opposing him is Bob Yeggy. Bob Hoskins, Roland Mehl, ,lack Moore, and Earl Puckett are running for the state legislature.

I saw a professional tennis match the other day. Bob Cornella, successor to Don Budge and Bobby Riggs, won again as usual. I met Joy Andrews the other day. She said that she and Lileka Politz are now straining their vocal cords with the Metro- politan Opera. John Dooley is a chemical engineer and works here in New York. He is very busy during these war times, making new ex- plosives to use against those laps. I saw Bill Van Guelpen and his famous orchestra, called Bill's Van Wagon, at the Stork Club last week. Patsy Easterling was clanging the cymbals. Bill Somers and Ferol Miller were playing clarinets. Charles Bamey was playing the trumpet, and Bob Hall was beating it out on the drums. As you can see, it seems that the orchestra was composed of most of our old friends. The floor show was excellent. Betty Mc- Aninch was the leader in a chorus dance. Geraldine Sutton, Fay Tewart, Christine Thomas, Edith Thomas, Helen Thompson, Ruth Tucker, and Evelyn Wallace composed the rest of the chorus. Jane Seeman did her acrobatic stunts too. Remember how she used to do her flops at the basketball games? Well, I must dash along now and cover another story. I hope you'll be up soon and feeling just as well as ever.

CINCINNATI, OHIO BLAC KOUT By Juuus MCZINTOSH It was a late winter evening. The air- raid sirens were screaming. Overhead were enemy bombers. Into an air-raid shelter raced a group of high school students, each carrying some item which might be of some use during his stay in the underground shelter. First in line was Jim Patton with the book 'gHow to Play Basketball in Six Easy Lessonsn, followed closely by Char- leen Shetter with a pair of rose colored glasses to look through when things were blackest. Then came Ted Hayes and Harry Rish with two cute blondes, always nice things to have around. Running in at full speed came Dan Lawson carrying Burton Rossfeld and Jim Roney, two wounded citizens. Together came Patty Barnhart with knitting needles and 14,000 feet of yarn for a pair of socks for Joe Baker, and Mary Frances Smith with a stack of hot records. Paul Payne also arrived carrying just one record, Chattanooga Choo, Choo , by Glenn Miller. Next was Charles Bamey with a book, H101 Interesting Blackout Games , Howard Larsen with his two pet cobras, and Ted Martin, Julius Mcln- tosh, Gilson Sanderson, and Bob Hoskins, dragging a huge julie box from the corner drug store. Close behind were Dale Hensey and Bob Cornelia with Olive Wetzel and Jeanne Chappell, whom they generally carry around. Over there were Bert Bailey carrying a ping-pong table and Evelyn Hodgdon with a 4- weeks' supply of chew- ing gum and her vanity case, which she couldn't be without. Bill Gillespie, Gene Turner, Bob Koehler, Jane Minton, Jane Henick, and Jane Kash were dragging a piece of rope which someone told them was the conga line. Also there were George Wedekind carrying his Crosley and Margie Gardner with her diary fvery interesting readingl. Soon entered air-raid warden Leroy Hardeman and shelter captain Bill Van Guelpen, bringing their Chinese check- ers. Hurrying around the corner were Josephine Grimes with the book Live Alone and Like It, and Bill Howe with his trig book which he mistook for Moby Dick . Coming from across the street were .loy Andrews with a box of matches to keep the home Fires burning, Lela Gustin with a flashlight that w0uldn't work, and Betty fConti'nued on Page 1581 Eleanor and Jack Hose Wholesalers ln CANDY S The Miami Sales Co.

One item seemed so out of place Spread on the Hoor by the fireplace, The Daily Times with the weekly news With headlines as big as one could choose. The letters read, in big bold type, World's Biggest Event-Held Last Night . Thousands came and then they vowed The dog show always brought the crowd. The more you'd read, the more you'd strive To picture dogs as if alive. One by one they'd walk in line Attention from observers they'd decline. Without a thought your mind went back To a class you were in, and you'd attack The task of connecting some little sign To the boys whom you thought were nice and fine. The frisky little Pekingese Was tryng hard, his leash to seize, His saucy manners brought to mind The pluckiest boy you'd ever findg Bert Bailey, with his happy way Forever in your thoughts he'd stay. Then came an unexpected glare, The sunshine on some bright red hair, The Irish Setter with curls so cute Bill Hadleyis hair it seemed to suit. The next in line was a Dachshund sleek Who seemed to pass in one dark streak, His hair so black and smooth to see The way Howard Cohen's used to be. After him the Collie came Whose actions were just the same As John Dooley's, so tall and straight, So regal looking with ideas great. Following him was the Bedlington Terrier Who seemed to be the only carrier Of shyness, as our own Jack Rupp, But who outshown all the rest of the group. A little pup came noisily around, The bloodhound with his nose to the ground, His curiosity was sharp and keen, So like Bob Hoskins as we have seen. A scrappy pup was next in line, Who seemed to be having a joyous time, Arguing with others the Bulldog came To win his part, Gil1espie's the same. Without a doubt the next stood out As all the people began to shout, The St. Bernard's jolly ways we could see Were like Bill Van Guelpen's humorosity. The last in line was alert and great Showing his power, a gift of fate, The police dog, a powerful learner Was in the same class as Eugene Turner. When we had read in the paper this far, The last glowing ember went out as a star, The lights were gone, words faded away, We'd have to continue the story next day.

It is hoped thereon that every- one will be properly instructed and skilled in First Aid care of the injured. Special air raid wardens have been appointed. We had air raid drills as well as fire drills. Everyone seems to have accepted the re- sponsibility, and with a grim determina- tion is set, ready to accept whatever fate the emergency of this terrible war may bring, whether it be a shortage of tires or sugar or any other thing. The spirit of the stu- dents and teachers of Middletown High School is that we can get along without it when we have to. Many of our boys have volunteered, en- listing in the Armed Service of our country. We have some who have gone to the Marines, some to the Navy, some to the Army. We are all proud of these young men who have felt the call to their coun- try's service. As they labor in various parts of the world, it is our earnest hope and prayer that their labors may be effective and that Our Father in Heaven will spare them from being injured and return them home safely to their families in due time.
