S. begins with the usual crowd gathered around the bulletin board to see who made the cast in the play or what club meets when. Soon the halls are cleared, and all is quiet except for a few late sleepers who linally show up. The digging and delving begin in earnest when the bell brings classes to order, but all school work doesn't depend upon such deep digging. In the Home Ec classes girls learn to utilize their hidden talents for cooking, and delicious odors drift out into the hallways. mc! ZA Many classes have an air of individuality about them. The reading of Cicero may bc enhanced by the donning of typical Roman dress. The shop training courses offer the students a chance to learn trades that are immediately practicable upon graduation, The student of M. H. S. has the chance to debate and express himself in speech class and in various activities sponsored by the dramatic departmentg such as assembly programs, plays, and broadcasts over WMOH each Wedimesf day afternoon.

' Puzzled students, exploring the many f fi voluminous dictionaries, encyclopedia, and ,ff reference books in their quest for knowledge, is a familiar sight to the book-lined walls of 209. They ? find here, as well as in the rest of the school, not only an- gf swers to many diiiicult assignments but also the key to good fellowship. Here in M.H.S. the ground-work of citizenship is metic- ulously begun in a congenial atmosphere of common effort on the part V ' of students and faculty. These students, typical of so many, are engaged in .' I extra activities around the school. These activities include sports, clubs, and var- ious c-rganizations, which, although they are a lesser part of school, are by no means less important. All are planning to utilize the knowledge and experience gained in school today to foster better living and greater understanding in the world of tomorrow.

Remember me? I'm Middie the Mouse, who is setting out on a journey to see what has become of all my fascinatf ing friends of the class of '46. Want to come along? As I think back to that year, memories come to me of-study hall and pennies, pour it on 'em, Girl Reserve Festival, White and Purple, Variety Show, basketball tournaments. That was really a grand year, and I remember distinctly the friendliness of Mildred Alexander, the disposition of Phyllis Huntzinger, and the enthusiasm of Renee Newman. You recall June Ahaus' personf ality and Dick Griest's wit, don't you? Then, too, there were the outstanding industriousness of Willodine Egelston and the desire to learn that characterized Mary Louise Harvey. Jack Merritt's allfaround goodfnaturedness stands out particularly to me because once he just sort of chuckled when I gnawed a goodfsized hole in his trigonometry book. But enough of my reminiscing-on with the trip! My, what strange vehicles rush and roar along the elevated highways here in Radio City. This year of 1956 has certainly brought many changes, hasn't it? Here's a broadcasting station, and bless my whiskers, there's Don Korros announcing. Let's listen- Good morning, ladies and gentlemen. Monday is good listening time on WMHS. Keep tuned to this station for the best in radio entertainment. During the day we will present the folf lowing programs: Betty Sebald's First Love, Dot McGuire-Val' iant Lady, Don Lampe-Light of the World, Houston Bales-Road of Life, Danny Amatulli's Breakfast Club, Marilyn Easterling- A Woman's Life, Mary Ingwersen, the Editor's Daughter, Marilyn Hamm-Glamour Manor, Bob Croake-John J. Anthony, Pat Mellon-John's Other Wife, Don Turner-Guiding Light, Mary Ann Dobrozsi-Woman in White, Ed Mulligan-Man on the Street, Jeanne Case-When a Girl Marries, Barbara Ligett Faces Life, Tom Kemp--Superman, Just Plain Curt, Don Bolton-The AllfAmerican Boy, Howard Neer-The Green Hornet, Bob Davies -Mr, District Attorney, Carolyn Mail and Patty Miller-People Are Funny, and at twelve midnight, the favorite of favorites, Miami River. We interrupt our program momentarily to bring you this bulletin: Paul Lansaw, the modern American Rembrandt, has been selected as WMHS's manfoffthefyear. A transcribed announcement: Do you feel tired, runfdown, and worn out? Does the iron in your blood have a tendency to rust? Would you like to feel peppy like other people, hmmm? Then buy and try Dr. Thomas Payne's Pink Pills for Pale People, manufactured by the Gordon Aldridge E? Sons' Pharmacy. We now bring you, through the courtesy of The Johnson Def partment Store, the eminent archeologist, explorer, and lecturer, Dr. Charles Tracy Atkinson. Say, I hear music QQ-it's coming from the next studio-let's ' in '56 investigate! Why, it's Caleb Standafer and his wellfknown Hjumpin' Jive Band. He organized his band back in 1946 and has risen to fame aided by such versatile members as Walter Rigdon, trumpeter, and Paul Faries, drummer. I understand this band is sponsored by a leading steel concern of which Bill Dollinger is now president. Ouch! Donald Stibbs! You can't step on my tail even if you are the head radio technician. Look, there are Harold Berry and Dwight McKenzie over there at the controls. Scampering around these studios has certainly sharpened my appetite! I think I'll drop in at The Rainbow to get some of their delicious cheese. That's the exclusive restaurant managed by Gloria Pyle and D'Nel Spangler, you know, and designed by Architect Bob Millard. Many celebrities are eating here, including joan Catching, Hit Parade soloist, Jean Bennington, noted auf thor and critic, Howard Puckett, foreign correspondent for the New 'York Times, and enchanting Mary Lou Henry, who is play' ing the title role of Jenet Hughes' new play, The Affairs of Mary Lou. The restaurants excellent chef, Norman Hoskins, has out- done himself in preparing a delicious lunch. After eating such a big piece of cheese, I feel like taking a brisk walk. There's a billboard over there advertising the agency of Eddie Hatfield and Marvin Stahley, selling the latest, most pracf tical helicopter designed by Manford Riley. That advertisement featuring Rhoads' specially designed dresses certainly catches my eye. Hey, look at the next billboard-VISIT SUNNY PALM BEACH, THE WONDERLAND OF THE SOUTH. Doesxft that sound inviting? I'm going to catch the next nonfstop sunbeam for Florida. Here it comes-whee, isn't this fun?-well, here I am in Florida! fFast, huh?j Here in this gay and glamorous city of Palm Beach my attention is immediately drawn to a huge poster which announces a bathing beauty contest. The event is being sponsored by the Hubba Hubba Bathing Suit Manufacturers, Rodefer and Coldiron, and is schedf uled to take place on the beach tomorrow. There's the hotel where my cousin Elmer lives, I think I'll spend the night with him. Brrrrrrrrr. YfAfWfN! Well, whatta you know, it's mornin' already! Leaving the hotel on my way to the bathing beauty conf test, I see over there the cheery receptionist, Barbara Nickell, who's talking to none other than Dona Hayes, title holder of the United States Swimming Championship. Here along the boardwalk Phyllis Barker and Jean Bellamy, two school teachers on vacation, are pointing out the various celebrities who pass. There's Mary Revelos, the jokestress and gay personality of the radio world, Ruth Marie Crout, short story writer for several leading magazines, Warren Palmer, who recently perfected a new use for atomic energy, Charlene Margerum, the goldenfvoiced lady of the Metro' politan Opera House, Arnold Romans, the inventor of a rocket ship in which he plans to travel to the Moon, and the windy but winning politician, Tim McLaughlin.

Look at the contestants-BWANG!! The judges, Wayne Blashock, Merritt Hinkle, and Dick Smith, are making their decision. There's the fanfare, and the winnah, Miss Palm Beach of 1956-lovely Barbara Stubbs! Congratulating her was certainly a pleasure-oh, look, here's Jacquelyn Adams, leader of the Miami AllfGirl Orchestra. Why yes, Jacque, I'd love to attend Judy Turlukis and Jack Repper's wedding tonight. Some of the people are leaving already for the big event. Here comes my transportation now-a sleek, stylish topfhat! Oh, how weddings thrill me-the chiming of church bells, the fragrance of orange blossoms, and the beautiful candle-lighted church. Two charming bridesmaids, Barbara Stremmel and Helen Balser, are approaching the altar, followed by Marilyn Adams, the maid of honor. Carl Hall, the best man, is ably supporting the nervous groom as the bride enters. Strains of unforgettable music issue from the organ, where Eleanor Shartle plays traditional wed' ding hymns interspersed by melodies of her own composition. With Eleanor's accompaniment Rosemary Marlett sings, her mellow voice enchanting all who hear her. The floral decorations for the occasion were supervised by Joyce Ramsey, who turned the church into a heavenly fairyland of color. My, there are a lot of outfofftown guests here. I can see Junior Burgher, editor of the Detroit Sentinel, Dorothy Miles, Hollywood dress designer, Phyllis Wasson, director of Physical Education at Duke University, Bette June Dingess, Allie Baird, and Phyllis Hatfield, models at Marshall Field's, Dorothy Petry, cartoonist for the New 'Yorker Magazine, Pat Sample, coach of Pennsylvania's Girls' Champion Basketball Team, of which Lois Taylor and Gladys Reese are members, Nancy Latimer, editor of the Latimer Lovelorn Column, Peggy Mitchell, the famous danseuse, Margaret Gibbons, dietitian director for Ohio schools, Terry Comminos, head of the United Restaurant Workers' Union of America, and Harry Flisher, basketball coach at Cornell University. I hate to leave this lovely scene, but in Louisiana 'tis the season of Mardi Gras, and I don't want to miss the gala affair. fAfter pulling on my seven league boots, I arrive at the Louisiana state line.J Trudging wearily along I-TOOT! TOOT! Want a ride? Well, if it isn't the governor of Louisiana, Richard Reed! Why yes, Guv'ner, I'd love a ride to the Mardi Gras. My, what a festive occasion this is. Donna Broughton is the queen, and her ladies in waiting are Elaine Pegg, Dorothy Hanna, and Leda Henderson. Here in the mingling crowd I see many familiar faces. There are Marilyn Shackelford, the famous Amer' ican cover girl, Shirley Keller, wizard electrician, Irene Hocz, Betty Wilson, Lois Theodore, and Rose Marie Miller, secretaries at the nationally known New Orleans Shipping Agency, Eugene Mathis, owner of the How Do You Dude Ranch, Shebra Caudill, his star cowfgirl, and Delores Piersall, the Golden Voice of the West. fCon'tinued on page 104J DICK RECK JIM REMPE CAROLINE HURSH FRED SCHMIDT JUNIORS The class of '47 has but one more chapter to add to its history. Already its members have achieved many things to be proud of and have displayed their talents in various ways. The capable leaders of this class are Dick Reck. presidentg Fred Schmidt, vice-presidentg Caro- line Hursh, secretaryg Jim Rempe, treasurer. The Juniors have provided dramatic enter- tainment not only in chapel plays but also in the Sophomore Play, Quiet, Everybody, and the Junior Play, Snafu. Speech classes have been greatly benefited by their eiorts, especially in the reorganization of Ex Tempore. The athletes of this class have already done their part in bringing honor to their school in football and basketball and have helped to make Middletown known far and widein sports. Scholastically the Juniors have ranked very high and are not lacking in musical talent either. The Junior-Senior Prom was still a dream when the Optimist Went to press, but if judged by other activities of this class, it, too, was a big success. li: X 1 Gi ULQY4 ' , a .Q lst Row-Elwood Abney, Lau- rel Abney, Milton Acra, David Adams, Patricia Adams, Vernon Agee, Mattie Aldridge, John Alexander. 2nd-Kay Allen, Jeanne Apple, Bob Asher, James Ashton, Stel- la Axiotes, Alfred Back, Don- ald Bailey, Leroy Baker. 3rd Row-Adebert Baldwin, My- ron Balon, Richard Banker, Omer Banks, William Barker, Eleanor Barnett, Lois Basford, Robert David Beachler. 4th Row-Gale Edwin Beatty, Ruth Beckman, Charles Belknap, Rufus Bennett, Gay Bevis, Thomas A.

That's what the delighted seniors exclaimed when they gathered for their Hrst meeting after being notified that they were chosen. Each of them soon agreed with the adviser, Miss Veda McCray, fwho always has such refreshing ideas at her finger tipsj, that their jobs were by no means easy ones. After they chose the minor staff, things began spinning. In choosing the theme, there was much controf versy. They found it to be true that two heads are better than one. In this group there were eleven heads to get together, and they have really worked, It was the general opinion that the idea of war was overworked, the Atomic Age was ringing in everyone's ears, so the theme, Parade of Youth, was decided upon. This in mind, extra things were added-such as Middie Mouse scampering from page to page. Middie was clevf erly drawn by Charles Atkinson. The major staff was headed by the two most capable editors M. H. S. has ever known-Mari' lyn Jacoby and John Barker, who worked long, weary, but profitable hours after school from the time work started until the book was completed. And then they prayed that the students would really enjoy the 1946 Optimist. And, of course, we all know who the main spoke in the wheel was, That was none other than our Miss McCray, who gave religiously both time and effort to make this Optimist a success. MAJOR STAFF Much praise goes to Paul Lansaw, the editor of the Art Committee, with Joanne Butterfield and Eileen Baird helping him turn out the artistic pictures which are much in evidence throughout the hook. As cluhs and plays were in full swing this year, Mary Lou Henry and her Activity Committee fD'Nel Spangler, Margaret Mehl, Beverly Smith, Danny Amatulli, Phyllis Huntzinger, Jacquelyn Adams, Marilyn Shackelford, and Nancy Latif merj were kept quite husy preparing all the news and pictures ahout the activities for the hook. Then there is Mr, Hayden S. Tohias, our phof tographer, to whom much credit is due. He gave generously of his time and skill to make the pief tures that you see from page to page. Let's give him a hig hand, too. Charles Atkinson, Mary Lou Henry, Willodiiie Egelston, Dick Keller, Joanne Day, John Barker, Paul Lansaw, Ruth Eleanor Schrock, Dick Griest, Marilyn Jacohy.

Each night of the campaign the money poured into the coffers. Dick Griest, the editor of Athletics, assisted by Jack Merritt, Bob Keller, Dona Hayes, Don Korros, and Harry Flisher, has posted you on all the sports events of the year with pictures of your favorite athlete accompanying them. 54 THE OPTIMIST You prohahly saw Dick Keller and his group running all around town soliciting ads many evenings after school. Of course it's all hearsay, l'ut we understand that Dick has worn out six pairs of shoes during the last few months. Bob Davies, John Garofalos, Rosalinda Rohison, Gloria Pyle, Tom Selhy, Nancy Stahler, Pat Sample, lvlarvin Stahley, and Bill Young had tired and aching feet, too. Joanne Day and her Humor Committee Uim Fay, Wzirreli Pence, Renee Newman, and Betty Roehllj have prepared the jokes to tickle your funnyfhone. They read so many jokes that they are pulling one funny one right after another. You can thank Willtidine Egelston and her Class Committee for not getting the pictures all jumhled up, They worked long, weary hours sorting out all the pictures, Qhig and littlej, alphahetizing, and arranging.

The membership consisted of one delegate and one alternate selected from each home room. The thirtyfsix delegates met every two weeks with their advisers, Miss Mary Lamphier and Mr. Herman Lawrence. Since every room had to be represented at each meeting, the alternate attended if the delegate could not be present. The purpose of this club is to give the students an opportunity to make suggestions that will improve the school, to promote all worthy activities, to foster a spirit of co' operation between teachers and students, and to develop responsibility in a school democracy. The following officers were elected at the first meeting: Tom Haney, president, Harry Flisber, vicefpresidentg Joann Meacham, secretary and treasurer. These three with jane Wiley, Dick Keller, Dorothy Fiessinger, Chal Brewer, Bob Gray, Virginia Miller, Joe Lewis, and Lois Basford made up the executive cabinet, which met every second Monday of the month. Among the important projects this year was the printing of a handbook about Middletown High School to be distributed to each new student at the opening of school. Action was taken to make it possible for the students to buy their class pins and rings in their junior year. To promote scholarship this body planned and made possible a dinner in honor of those who were outstanding in scholarship in each class. i NATIONAL HONOR SOCIETY lst Row-Marilyn Jacoby, Joanne Day, Willodine Egelston, Joanne Butterlield. 2nd Row-Paul Lansaw, Mary Lou Henry, Gloria Pyle, Secretary, Dick Griest, Vice presidentg Dona Hayes, Nancy Latimer, D'Nel Spangler, Mary Ingwersen, Presi- dentg Ruth Schrock, Charles Atkinson. The fourteen seniors who were elected into the National Honor Society in October were quite thrilled and honored to be elected to the National organization in the first group. When they received their invitations to become members, they felt they had lfccn well rewarded for the time and effort expended in their studies and activities. In March twentyfeight other seniors were elected to the society and were equally proud. The first requirement for membership is that the students be in the upper onefthird of their class. Besides their scholastic standing, members are chosen to the society for their leadership, their character, and their service in their school and community. Alf though in other schools this society is highly organized, our chapter has purposely avoided this and remained an honorary group. lst Row-Joan Sarchet, Nancy Stabler, Peggy Koeppel, Eleanor Shartle, Phyllis Huntzinger, Mildred Mayabb, Renee Newman, Ruth Lipfert, Clotilde Robison, Rosa- linda Robison, Rosemary Marlett, Jane Garvin, Muriel Brewer, Dorice Robinson, Barbara Nickell, Susan Botos. 2nd Row-Bill Young, Virginia Miller, Tom Haney, Don Korros, Mary Louise Harvey, Omer Blevins, Josephine Nickell, Bob Keller, Bernard Annenberg, Merritt Hinkle, Gerry Cottle, John Barker, Jack Merritt, Caleb Standafer.

Qfqlgqc BT ' i Q I ,LZ THE BAND The Band, composed of sixty-five boys and girls, played for six home football games with an average attendance of ninety-seven percent. Pat Mehl, having full command of the band while out on the field, was assisted by nine majorettes. In November the Big Blue Band joined them to play the Star Spangled Ban- ner, thus symbolizing the comradeship of inter-county rivals. At the eleven home basketball games in the western end of the gym, the Band was clad in their purple and white uniforms. They played many popular and classical numbers to enter- tain the crowd and were especially willing to play someone else's school song to make them welcome. Herman J. Copp ably directed them in a stirring concert proudly presented in chapel on April 21. They played some of their favorite numbers, such as March of the Brave, When You Wore A Tulip, When Johnnie Comes Marching Home Again, and La Pa- loma. In order to gain a better understanding of band music, the entire Band was entertained as the guests of Frank Simon at his three popular concerts given this year in the audi- torium. The Band paraded gaily down the avenue for all civic celebrations, especially on I Am An American Day and Decoration Day. With colors flying they would lead the parade, thus setting the tempo for Middletown as well as for the high school.

The orchestra, under the direction of Mr. Herman Copp, put in a busy season playing for the Sophomore, Junior, and Senior Class Plays. It was also an added attraction for the two performances of the Ca- dence Cavalade. The orchestra played Latin American and Hungarian muiiic preceding the Bertita Harding Lecture February 14 and cli- niaxed the year with their Baccalaureate and Commencement music. Among these musicians there are several very fine soloists, outstanding in their own special instrumental field. At any time and for anything lappening at the high school, the orchestra was always ready to do its best to fill in and complete a program. s S! 'lair K Fm 2 . .

S. who gave their lives in World War II that we might live in freedom. It pictured in eleven quickly shifting scenes: the love, laughter, and philosophy of the American home that made our G. I. Joe capable of winning' the warg the fun, the homesick- ness, and the temptations of camp lifeg the terrible bore- dom and the desperate fear and hopelessness of combat on the tiny Pacific islands held at such cost early in the war. The cast included Phil Pierson as the soldier, Vivian Henry as his sweetheart, Jack Alford as Marion, Bill Roche as Mulveroy, Kenneth Bliven as the father, Pat Dynes as the mother, John Whitlock as top-sergeant, and Phyllis Gib- son and Janet Roehll as the Byrd twins. These were ably assis- ted by John McDermott, Tom Selby, Bill Stabler, Bill Lowe, Maclyn Tobias, Richard Monroe, Dudley Inwood, Dick Lewis, Joyce Riley, June Wetzel, Lois Lambert, Dorothy Scott, Mary Lou Wood, Virginia Cretors, Bill Kreager, Clara Pergram, Cliff Heil, Dick Haney, Bob Gloeck- ler, Barbara Davies, Mar- vin Gerard, Betty Eggles- ton, Harriett Beltz, Bar- bara Keiser, and Doug Smith to make this play one of the most impres- sive ever presented as a commencement play. 67 SOPHCMORE CLASS PLAY But thanks to Patrick Henry Farmer's cleverness, the play drew to a close with the know- ledge that the path of true love and the school life at Liberty High were again running smoothly. C8 The gay-spirited and light-hearted three-act com- edy, Patrick Henry of Liberty Highf' was present- ed by the Sophomore Class December 4 under the direction of Clarence Gingerich. Although Patrick Henry Farmer fRay Carpenterj failed to make a favorable impression when he first transferred to Liberty High School, it became evi- dent as the play progressed that his interest in psychology was a decided asset to the student body: Phil Durkin fAlbert Bellamyj, Sammy Benton fDick Lyonsb, Meta Sherwood CJoan Ingwersenj, Mary Ellsworth fDotty Haginsb, Joe Mason fJay Beattyb, Janet Monroe fMarjorie Palmerj, Edna White fMargaret Leightonb, Betty Martin Uoyce Dallasb, Maxine Page fMarjorie Beckj 3 and it real- ly saved the day for everyone concerned. The excitement of a pep fest, a championship football game, customary high school intrigue, a chance of the school building being blown up or at least carried away by a flood-all added' to the headaches of Mr. Chalmers fMark Scheibertj prin- cipal, Miss Farrell CPat Mehlj and Miss Wright fBarbara Knoxj teachers, to say nothing of the janitor Manetto fLouie Botosj. JUNIOR CLASS PLAY Snal'u, the Junior Class Play, was presented April EP by an el't'ieient east and back-stage crew under the excellent direction ol' Miss Dorothy Johnson. The story began as Ronald Stevens fflhal Brew- erl, a veteran at sixteen, was returning: to his home and parents, Madge fNaida Jean .lonesj and Ben Stevens fToni Vrowleyj, in Southern California. On his arrival he unexpectedly was welcomed by Senator Phil I ord flliek Bankerbg the principal, Mr. Taylor fVValter Roehlljg and three legionnaires flionald Blalaek, Rob Lainhert, and Bill Kloppj. llis 'tggirlf' Kate Hereford Heanne Newtonlg her Aunt Emily flloris Hellerlg and the dear, old house- niaid Josephine fllelores Gihbonsj were also there lo greet him. Trouble started when Danny Baker flligfygs Monforlb, a friend of Ronald's, eaine to spend a few days with the Sargref' Other eharaeters in the play were Laura Jessus flilartha Martinlg Martha fPatsy Elliottj, the Aus- tralian friendg Mrs. Garrett flloris Reardonjg the deteetive fllarold Tannerjg and Folonel VVest fDiek lJiet'enl1aehl. All added their part to the show, which was strictly 'tdynainite all the way through. ln March several public speaking students presented a one-act drama, I Shall Be Waiting, in a contest in Cincinnati at the Art Museum and won first place. The Ex Tempore Club was made up of public speaking students who were interested in keep- ing' informed on current affairs. They were Danna Goodman, Verlin Curtis, Tom Crowley, Josephine Nickell, Bob Helmers, Harold Tanner, Dick Griss, and Don Ginn. They were able to attend only two contests, one in Hamilton and one in Lima, but were also active in radio and other programs at school and in the community. For the assembly program at Christmas Why the Chimes Rang was presented by a large cast of seniors from the Purple Masquers Club. The plot was very inspirational and left the audience with a good Christmas feeling-good will for everyone. Since the 'co-operative course was new this year at M. H. S., the Commercial Department presented in assembly a one-act play, Poor Mr. Hill, showing how useful the school girls could be if the employers would only give them a chance to work in their offices. The junior dramatic club, Socc and Buskin, worked out a one-act comedy entitled 'tThe Thom- psonsfl Everyone forgot about his studies as he watched the characters give an hilarious per- formance. Mixed Dates was presented by the Robeson Dramatic Club for assembly one morning. Since this, their first performance, was such a grand success, they later presented a three-act comedy, 'tWhen the Bough Breaks, which was equally well accepted. Seated: Dona Hayes, Nancy Latimer, Mary Lou Henry, Miss Veda McCray, adviserg Joanne Butterfield, Marilyn Margaret Mehl. Standing: Carol Jones, Shirley Goetz, Renee Newman, Joanne Day. GIRL RESERVES Cabinet Jacoby, The five triangles, Gamma, Iota, Rho, Lambda, and Sigma, met once a week this year at their respective churches to plan worthy activities, to discuss their personal problems, and to enjoy good fellowship. The girls started off the year by making four hundred dollars at their Festival, consequently they contributed one hundred dollars for Christmas presents for the sailors who were on the high seas on Christmas Day. These gifts consisted of such things as cigarettes, cigarette lighters, handkerchiefs, pocket reading books, and shaving kits. They included the name of a Girl Reserve in the package of six gifts each, wrapped in bright Christmas paper. To the great delight of the girls, letters were received from many of the recipients. Another one hundred dollars for toys, and two hundred candy canes were sent to the Butler County Children's Home for Christmas. Sums of twenty-five dollars each were given to the American Red Cross, Near East Relief, and the Y.W.C.A. World Fellowship Fund. Middletown Senior High School was the scene of a Girl Reserve Conference Saturday, Feb- ruary 16. The Girl Reserves from the neighboring Vicinities were invited to be the guests of the Middletown Girl Reserves. Not only was the conference a success socially, but classes were also held at which the girls gave their suggestions to improve the Girl Reserve groups in their own towns. Many new friends were made, and there was also a reunion of girls who had met at Girl Reserve Camp in preceding years. The social high light for the Senior Girl Reserves was the Formal Girl Reserve Dance held at the Armco Auditorium Saturday, March 2. The auditorium was gaily decorated in a St. Patrick manner with green and white crepe paper, black paper pipes and top whats adorned the walls. The music of Mr. Norris' Band added the final touch to a lovely evening. An informal spring dance for all the girls was being planned as the book went to press.

Each ceremony Was very impressive especially to the boys who were sworn into the Hi-Y organization with the code of the Hi-Y in mind: To create, maintain, and extend throughout the school and community, high standards of Christian Character. Under the able guidance of' Mr. Kiester and Mr. Wilson, the worship pro- grams have been vastly improved. These programs are an important tool in Hi-Y for the development of a Well-balanced character. WORLD DAY OF PRAYER Girl Reserve and Hi-Y members met together at the First Methodist Church for the annual World Day of Prayer, which is held each year on Thursday of the first week of Lent. These young people join with others their own age, who are meeting all over the World, to pray for World Fellowship. Ambrose Bailey, D. D. delivered the message to the young people using the theme, Christian Ignorance. Projects were presented by eight students on the subjects of How our offerings would help others, and The things that make for our peace. The Boys' Glee Club sang four selections accompanied by Eleanor Shartle, and Mrs. Esther Phillips played the organ for group singing. The students who led the impressive service and presented projects were Mary Lou Henry, Doris Heller, Tom Hensey, Joanne Day, Joanne Butterfield, Gloria Pyle, Ruth Schrock, Marjorie Beck, Virginia Phillips, Jane Wiley, Nicho- las Ringer. Marc Gillespie, Albert Bellamy, Milton Long, Chester Cottongim, Bob Davies, and Bill Jones served as ushers. Helen Barkley was the efficient adviser. l-ll-Y cabinet awww Paul Lansaw, Paul Faries, Mr. A. C. Kiester, Tom Haney, Bill Wilson, Bob Davies, Bill Young Sports proved to be the center of attraction for the Hi-Y boys. Leagues were set up as usual in football and basketball. Torch Hi-Y captured the cham- pionship in football, followed up by Triangle. This proved a little rough this year with two collar bones broken and a broken arm. The championship of the Hi-Y basketball league was won by Miami in the A league and by Triangle in the B league. Other sports such as ping-pong and bowling were mentioned to be formed as leagues, but as yet, no action has been taken to bring these sports into the clubs. Five boys, Bob Davies, Paul Faries, Bill Young, John Barker, Eddie Mulligan, attended the Hi-Y conference in Columbus. There they were members of var- ious discussion classes, which considered the problems confronting the youth of today and the Hi-Y movement. The social events were very successful this year for the organization. The after-the-game dances held in the gymnasium of the Y broke all records in attendance. The club held parties, a valentine dance, hay rides, and planned the annual Hi-Y dance near the end of the school year. A unique project under- taken by Torch was the selling of T shirts with Pour It On 'Em written across the frontg Triangle earlier had sold cheerleader T shirts. The profits were used by the clubs to give bigger and better dances and to make donations to such worthy causes as World Service and the Red Cross.

Middletown has always been noted for being superior in athletics. This is greatly due to the hard work of our wonderful coaching staff, which has been changed and added to this year. Elmo Lingrel, former football coach, was given the job as Director of Athletics in Middletown and did a super job in organizing sports in the grade schools and generally supervising the finances of our junior and senior high teams. Glenn Tiger Ellison was elevated to the head football coaching spot, and his eleven turned in a successful first season. He also led the purple thin-clads through an undefeated schedule. George Houck, who came here from Wilmington as head basketball coach, stepped into huge shoes but ably filled them by bringing the Ohio State Class A Basketball Championship to Middletown. In addition to basketball he also coached the baseball team when the spring weather brought forth the glove and bat. Stan Lewis of McKinley, while assisting in numerous other sports, took over the job of line coach and de- veloped a first class forward wall which helped to bring the successful football season. S-r A an FOOTBALL RECORD Middletown Middletown Middletown Middletown Middletown Middletown Middletown Middletown I1 indlay Columbus East Lima South Columbus Central Lima Central Springfield Portsmouth Hamilton -- E F O O T B A L L ' 14 ' ' 24 ' mi Middletown Fairview is f 18 14 li .4-1 ' 1153 FIN DLAY With more than 3,500 fans looking on, Middletown High Schoo1's football team overpowered a heavy but scrappy Findlay eleven at Lincoln Field, 14-0, to give Glenn Ellison, new Middie grid mentor, a win in his first start. The Middie power was shown in the fact that they chalked up twelve first downs while holding the visitors to five. Don Bolton and Les Creekbaum were the key men of the evening in the ground gaining department. The Purple drew first blood late in the first quarter when a march from their own thirty-five was cli- maxed by Creekbaum's six-yard spurt around end into pay dirt. Tom Hensey added the extra point via the dropkick route. Middletown's efforts in the second quarter were cooled by a total of sixty yards in penalties. The final touchdown came in the third period as Hunter intercepted a pass on his own forty-yard line. Bolton, Creekbaum, and Hunter then alternated in carrying the ball to the Findlay three. Schiering knifed over for the tally and Hensey again converted. Ellison sent in virtually his entire second string in the fourth quarter, and they were able to hold off any scoring attempts by Findlay. COLUMBUS EAST The Middie eleven gained its second straight win of the 1945 campaign by downing highly touted Columbus East, 24-7. Displaying much improved style, the entire Purple and White crew performed well with Bolton and Hunter be- ing balls of fire in the victory. The Middies had a touchdown five plays after the opening whistle. Adkins' kick-06, a roller, was fumbled by an East player and was recovered by the Middies on the Columbus 36. A variety of plays by the backfieldmen put the ball over for the Ellisonites. The try for the extra point failed. A dozen plays later East again fumbled. The Middies took ad- vantage once more and plunged, passed, and spun into pay dirt, again failing to convert. In the third quarter a kick, which rolled dead on the Purple thirty-five, was the start of a drive which ended only in giving the Middies six more points. At this time the entire second string went in for the Middies. East took advantage of the inexperienced boys and pushed over for a touch- down and extra point. After kicking off, East threatened to score on the green lads again, but Ellison sent in the varsity, who took over and scored another touchdown to clinch the win. FOOTBALL FAIRVIEW A highly keyed Fairview football team threw a scare into the hearts of the Middie followers before going down to defeat by a 13-7 score. The third straight victory for the Middies was costly, however, as Bolton's collar bone was injured on the last play of the first half, an injury which might have kept the veteran fullback on the bench for many weeks. Both teams took a hard beat- ing, not from rough play but from just good hard football playing by all partici- pants. It looked like pre-game predictions would come true as the Middies scored after seven plays. Fairview seemed to have gotten their signals crossed on the first play and were forced to punt to their own forty-six. The Middies took over from here and were over for a touchdown soon after, using a va- riety of plays. Hensey drop kicked the extra point. Fairview wasted no time in tying the score, using an offensive which the Middies were unable to cope with at the moment. Their try for the extra point was blocked, but a Fairview back recovered and ran over for the tally. Forkner replaced the injured Bolton in the second half. Creekbaum took the kick-off' and raced to the Fairview twenty-two before being stopped. The Middies lost the ball on downs, but when the line tightened Fairview was forced to punt. The Middies drove back, and on the first play of the fourth quarter Hunter knifed through from the nine to score the last touchdown. Fairview still refused to give in, but the Middies held firm. . T FORMATION Line: Eugene Dennis, Joe Lewis, Curt Adkins, Bob Croake, Dick Miltenber- ger, Tom Hensey, Omer Blevins. Backfield: Bob Schiering, Les Creekbaum, Don Bolton, Cecil Hunter. FOOTBALL LIMA CENTRAL The Purple Warriors of M. H. S. chalked up their fourth win out of five starts by defeating Lima Central, 14-7. The game was hard fought all the way through with the Middies successfully stopping the attack of the passingestn team in the state. Central took an early lead in the nrst quarter by passing their way to a touchdown. The Middies knotted the count at seven all in the second quarter. The touchdown climaxed a 93 yard drive from the Middie seven with Hunter kicking the extra point from placement. As in former games Hunter displayed his ability at intercepting passes. He snagged a Central pass on the Purple 34 and jaunted to the Purple 47. Creek- baum made three yards, after which Hunter broke loose and scooted 50 yards for a touchdown. Forkner plunged through to snag the extra point for the last score of the game.

This year, as always, the Middie Football Reserves played their hearts out before the regular games cr furnished entertainment for the stay-at-homes when the Purple Varsity was out of town. They tangled with Roosevelt, McKinley, Seven Mile, Oxford, and the Hamilton Reserves and came out victorious in a majority of the games. These never say die lads were coached by Harold Mason of Roosevelt, who gave his time and effort to mold future Middie stars. Many promising lads were ob- served, and a successful season was predicted for next year. 5 A15 ,X lk . ix' if ix, 4 mg Q , W W' I S X J-3 AN Q E' i ,ff X-Ai' ,na at W N X , fix.

Well, you're right, and we had good fans, too. Here in the picture you see them with their umbrellas, watching a game in the rain. It was a cold, rainy day that the Middies chose to trample over the Big Blue from Hamilton, but the drenched fans loved it. Three cheers for the loyal lads and lassies of the Purple and White. Say, who are those four boys carry- ing all that football stuff out on the field? Why, they are Merritt Hinkle, Bud Annenberg, Bernie Gividen, and Tom Haney, our football managers. These are the guys you saw at every game, taking care of the footballs, jack- ets, and working on boys who were in- jured. It was these boys, too, who is- sued the suits, took them in, kept the equipment in shape, and did the 'tdirty work that no one else wanted to do. No one ever gave them a pat on the back for doing their job well, but herc's a belated one from all the Middie fans. Good work, fellows! Do you see any faces in this next pic- ture? All I see is pants, shoes, helmets, and shirts, but there are football players in that stack somewhere. Here you see the gang getting ready to start the game. They always do this before a game starts for some reason. Some say they get the latest dope on their oppo- nents, others say they pray, some say they 'hocus-pocus the jinx awayg but it seems to bring winning teams, so who cares what they do? MINUTE MEN CHEERLEADERS SANDWICH GIRLS The Minute Men were like the Mana- gers, we saw them very little, but the results of their work could always be seen. At football games they ran the scoreboard, but their most important job was taking care of the field. Be- fore the game they lined the field, put up the ropes, and got the scoreboard ready. After games they put away the ropes and scoreboard equipment and cleaned up the field generally. You didn't read their names fBob Lund, Thomas Spisak, Bob Hillard, Bob Con- rad, John Gillj in the paper as helping to win a game, but nevertheless they did. Yea, team! Come on, yell it ! That's familiar, isn't it? Sure, the good old Cheerleaders fJean Case, Mary Lou Henry, Iona Blevins, Danny Amatulli, Dona Hayes, Charles Collinsb yelled that at us at every football game. They got out in front of everybody and screamed their lungs out to lead the fans in cheering for the Mighty Middies. These grand guys and gals practiced before each game, too, and during the week so they could do a grand job for us. Thanks, Cheerleaders, you were swell.

Those Sandwich Girls were really prepared for that hip-deep mud that day, weren't they? It took more than rain and mud to keep those girls from coming out early before each game and getting hot dogs ready for you, besides bringing around candy and ice cream. Those snacks really tasted good to the fans who appreciated what the Sandwich Girls did. Yes, the Middie games were really good this year, but their behind- the-scenes co-workers were also on the ball. Qi , l f G7 x X i K X il i if f -. tx . N fs . X N. 4: ,, K MV-- Here they are, one of the greatest basketball teams ever to come out of Middletown High School. 'Ihey have been called one of the best-led, the best-schooled, and the most polished ball clubs since the VVaterloo Wonders. People in all walks of life praise these State Champs, but the best way to describe them is to quote the Middle- town Journal thc day after they returned from Toledo. 'tThey had great heart! That's what Elmo Lingrel had to say at the hotel after the game. Great heart - when Bolton, driven to the floor with a thud that shook the arena and almost knocked him out, came back into the game to play some of the greatest basketball of'his brilliant career. Great heart - when Milton Wells wept his heart out because he couldn't stay in the game for the kill. Great heart - when Arnold Romans picked himself up from a nasty backward fall after chalking up an important basket and going on to fill the full length and width of Wells' shoes. Great heart - when Paul Lansaw, limping through the last minutes of play on an injured ankle, refused to leave the game - and showed some of the best general- ship of the tournament by protecting the Middies' slim lead until the final gun. 'fGreat heart it was, just as it has been for three golden, glorious years. That's what brings men and athletes up from the depths against great odds - to victory. That's what Elmo Lingrel meant when he said: They had Great Heart! Sure, the Journal and Lingrel were right about these boys, but the whole team was just like these mentioned here. That's what made them the great team that they were. BASKETBALL FRANKLIN Chalking up their first win for Coach George Houck, the Middies trounced Franklin 37-26 before 2,000 fans. The game started off with a bang when Middie Wells broke fast for the basket and took a pass from Don Bolton to whip the net chords for thc first two points of the season. Then it was a bitter battle all the way against the Wildcats. Omer Blevins and Milton Wells led the scoring with 12 and 10 points, respectively. Allen of Franklin racked up 16 points to lead his team. STIVERS A vastly improved Middletown team chalked up its second straight victory of the season with a score of 37-26 against Dayton Stivers. After a slow start the Middies suddenly exploded with a bang to take a 10-0 first quarter lead. Stretching this lead to 16-0 before Stivers finally scored, the Purple and White coasted to an 18-7 halftime lead. The Middie first stringers ran the score to 28-12 at the three-quarter mark before the second stringers came in to finish the game. Omer Blevins was again high point man with 12 points, followed by Middie Wells with 11. TROY The Purple and White in an excellent performance whipped Troy 42-19. The game was tense and fast all the way to the end. No one player could be singled out as exceptional as everyone of them played brilliantly. The Trojans took every chance to ring the ball, but this was checked by the Middie defense. Milton Wells led the scoring with 14 points and Omer Blevins followed with 13, of which 7 points were foul shots. VARSITY Ilsf fill!

BASKETBALL FAIRVIEW Rolling merrily on their victory Way, the Middies downed the Fairview Five, 46-24. The victory was an easy one for the Middies, who used everyone but the timekeeper in the game. The scoring was well divided among the ten varsity members, but Blevins again led his team scoring 14 points. Fair- view's team played well, but they were unable to cope with the Middies' hot streak and unrelenting defense. BOB KELLER DON BOLTON PAUL LANSAW UMIDDIEI' WELLS OMFR BLEVIIN MIAMISBURG The Middies annexed their fifth straight victory of the season by trimming Miamisburg, 44-23. Although the Purple Warriors didn't play their flashiest brand of ball, they steadily built up a lead of 18-6 at the end of the half. In the second half the game became rather rough, and Bob Keller of the Middies left the game on five fouls. Captain Paul Lansaw finally came into the oifen- sive light, leading the Houckmen in scoring by chalking up 13 points. Don Bolton and Mid'die Wells trailed with 12 and 11 points, respectively. BASKETBALL LORAIN Racking up their sixth straight victory of the season, the Middies started off the Holiday Carnival at the Lima gym before a packed house and ended the game with a shooting average of .413. The boys started fast and were never bothered by the Lorain team, which was expected to give the Middies a good battle. Major contributors to the 55-28 victory were Sophomore Sub- stitute Shelby Linville with 13, followed by Paul Lansaw with 12, Omer Blevins with 11, and Don Bolton with 9 points. IOLD ROMANS BOB CROAKE DICK RECK DICK SCHIRM SHFLBY LINVILLF TOLEDO DEVILBISS Middletown's Middies displayed enough of their unbeaten brand of ball to smear Toledo DeVilbiss 39-20 for their seventh straight win this season, the thirty-fifth in a row in regular season play. For the first time this year the Middies found themselves on the short end of the score at the game's start, but Omer Blevins pulled the Purple into the lead. Blevins was high man with 10 tallies. Linville and Lansaw made spectacular plays boosting the score 7 and 8 points, respectively. SPRINGFIELD Although the Middies were given quite a scare by the Wildcats, they emerged victorious in their first league game of the campaign. With a last minute spurt they squeezed out with a 35-31 score. The Middies played good ball the first quarter, but when the Springfield lads began to rough it up, they tightened up and had considerable trouble hitting the basket the rest of the game. High scoring honors for the night were shared by Don Bolton with 15, Omer Blevins with 8, and Middie Wells with 7 points. Elwood Clark was high for Spring- field with 10 points. LIMA CENTRAL The mighty Middies took over undisputed lead in greater Ohio League play by defeating a scrappy Lima Central team 49-30. The Houckmen led by an 11-4 count at the end of the first quarter, but Central's all junior team flew into action in the second quarter and led the Middies at halftime 17-16. This was the first time the Middies had been behind on their home floor. Big Omer Blevins then began to pour the points through the hoop and ran his total to 18 points. The game was rated as one of the cleanest games seen here in a long time with a total of eight fouls being called in the whole game. DAYTON ROOSEVELT The mighty Middies rolled merrily along to their 10th straight victory of the year and 38th straight in regular season play over a trio of years, as they jumped Dayton Roosevelt 56-25 on the local court. With the entire first string hitting consistently, the Middies pulled away to a 20-3 first quarter lead. Although the second team played most of the second quarter, the Middies maintained their margin and led 29-11 at the half. The second half was a repetition of the first, and the home team walked off' the floor with another victory. Wells led the locals with 15 points followed by Blevins and Bolton with 13 and 12 points, respectively. PORTSMOUTH Portsmouth High proved little trouble to the Middies at Grant Gym as they were subdued 49-26. Although the oHicials were calling them very close throughout, only one of the Middies was ejected from the game on personal fouls, and this was in the closing minutes of the fracas. Leaders in the scoring column were Omer Blevins with 18, Don Bolton with 15, and f'Middie Wells with 9 points. HAMILTON Before a record crowd the Purple Warriors edged out the Big Blue of Hamilton, 36-32, to win their twelfth straight game. The score only shows half of the battle that raged between these teams. Seven times during the game the lead changed hands, and never once did one team have a decisive margin. After a half score of 14 all the Middies seemed to pull ahead, but the Big Blues had other ideas and kept right up with them. Again it was towering Omer Blevins who gave the Middies those always needed points as he dropped in 13. XENIA A Xenia team, which proved to be tougher than expected, was finally trampled by the Mid- dies 56-23. Overconfidence, or maybe the number thirteen jinx, hounded the crew in the first half, for the Buccaneers lead them 17-16. A'Spark of fire was thrown into the Purple in the second half, and they hit the basket from all angles and in all ways. The team really clicked like clock-work in the second canto with Blevins and Lansaw paving the way to victory by scoring 16 and 15 points, respectively. Bob Keller also stood out as a bright star with his fancy passing and ball handling. LIMA SOUTH Turning on their biggest offensive spree in 25 years, the Middies romped to a 64-39 victory over the Lima South Tigers. Playing a race-horse brand of ball in the later stages of the game, the Middies permitted South to mark up the highest score of the season against them. The Houckmen hit an average of .347 and made 12 out of 19 fouls. Leading the long list of scorers were Don Bolton and Paul Lansaw with 17 points each, followed by Omer Blevins with 16. Thomas, Tiger forward, scored 15 points to lead his team. PORTSMOUTH The Purple and White coasted to their 15th straight triumph of the year with a 48-28 trouncing of Portsmouth. The Middies, running like a well oiled machine, led 10-5 at the end of the first quarter and boosted this to 23-9 at the half. At the start of the second half the Purple Warriors literally poured it on the Trojans, running the score to 42-13. At this juncture, however, the varsity was lifted and the remainder of the game was turned over to the reserves. Captain Lansaw led the scoring with 14 points, followed by Middie Wells with 12. NEWARK The Middletown Middies traveled to Newark to win their sixteenth consecutive game. Battling all the way, the Houckmen finally ended up on the top side of a 34-30 score. The Middies took an early lead, but the half time score was all tied up at 14-14. Forward Don Bolton and guard Milton Wells shared the Scoring honors with 12 points each. Captain Paul Lansaw showed his defensive ability by holding Goldsmith, the high scoring ace of Newark, to seven points. SPRINGFIELD In playing their last game on the home court, the Middies captured the Greater Ohio League Title by defeating the Springtield Wildcats 52-23. In a previous game with the Cats the Mid- dies had considerable trouble, but this time the Houckmen scored at will after a slow start and poured in baskets from all parts of the floor. Paced by Omer Blevins and Captain Paul Lansaw, who scored 15 and 11 points, respectively, the Middies were never in danger. HAMILTON Before a crowd of 3,500 cheering fans, the Middletown Middies rang up their second straight undefeated season. Playing at Miami University Withrow Gym, the Middies walloped Ham- ilton 42-20. Starting off slowly, then suddenly getting a break, the Middies pulled ahead. Lead- ing 21-8 at the half, the Houckmen settled down and played their stellar defensive game and held the Big Blues to their lowest score ofthe season. Forward Omer Blevins and Guard Milton Wells shared the scoring honors with 16 each. The other three starters, Lansaw, Bol- ton, and Keller, played an outstanding game on defense. . .,, V.. hh.

Bob XENIA A large crowd of fans saw the Middies jump their first tournament hurdle by defeating Xenia 38-24 at the Dayton Fairgrounds Coliseum. It must have been tournament jitters or the jinx left from earlier in the season that caused the Middies to win with such a small margin over a team they had previously defeated 53-26. Faults which had' plagued the Mid- dies all season were seen in bunches against Xeniag however, the entire starting Five hit the scoring column and ran up a 19-11 margin at the half. Wells was high point man with 11 points, followed by Lansaw with 10. GREENVILLE Greenville proved to be little trouble to the Middies who trampled them 56-23 in their second tournament game. The Houckmen as usual took a while to get started, but once they got warmed up, there was no doubt in anyone's mind as to who would be ahead at the final gun. The whole crew seemed to be much improved' since the last contest, and once again every one of the starting Five was able to score. The darkest note in the afternoon contest was an injury to Don Bolton's ankle, which was expected to keep him out of play for at least a week. Shelby Linville, who replaced Bolton, played a creditable game and scored 5 points. Wells, who turned' in his usual Well-played game, led the Purple with 14 points. OSBORN The Middies won the right to meet Dayton Chaminade for the district championship by smashing little Osborn to the tune of a 50-15 score. The superior height of the Middies was the telltale factor in the victory. Osborn was limited to 5 field goals in the entire game, 4 of which were from far out. Shelby Linville and Arnold Romans alternated in replacing Reg- ular Don Bolton, who was on the bench because of an ankle injury. The Middies scored prac- tically at will, but Osborn made a good showing through the efforts of Bill Aker, a less than five-foot guard, who consistently stole the ball and broke up plays. Middie Wells led the Purple cagers with 15 points, closely followed by Linville with 13. TOURNAMENT The Middletown Middies won the Dayton District Championship in their bracket for the fcurth straight year by defeating Dayton's City Champions, Chaminade, 35-23. Again as in other tournament games, there was nothing really outstanding, though Bob Keller lit- erally dogged to death the opponents and fed the ball to set up scoring plays like a profes- sional. The Middies got off to a slow start and at the end of six minutes were on the short end of a 2-0 count. Rallying to the crowd's yells of Pour it on 'em, the Middies then pulled into high gear, making fielders from all angles. The score at the half was 17-8 in their favor. In the third quarter Blevins turned on the steam and poured in three foul shots and a fancy over-the-head toss before anyone knew what was up. Don Bolton, back on the floor after a week's absence, added a final two markers in the fourth quarter to run his total to 11 and lead his mates. Medals were awarded to the ten Varsity Middies at the close of the game along with the District trophy awarded the Champs. WALNUT HILLS Walnut Hills, representing the Cincinnati District in the Regionals at Dayton, went down to defeat before the unbeaten Middies, 41-27. The Eagles, winner of 20 out of 21 regular games, fought hard, but the Middies outshone them all the way. The opponents trailed 9-6 and 13-8 in the first two periods, but in the third the Purple pulled away to a 29-18 lead. Gene Mclzer, selected to A. P.'s All Ohio Team, found himself in tough company with Paul Lan- saw and was able to score only 7 points. Th: Middie defense was so tight that the Eagles had a hard time getting the ball in to pivot men or anyone else close to the basket. The game was exceptionally clean with only 9 fouls being called in the entire game. Don Bolton and Milton Wells spearheaded the attack with 12 and 15 points, respectively. TOU NAMENT HAMILTON CATHOLIC The game of the year, which brought together the only two unbeaten Class A Fives left in Ohio, Middletown and Hamilton Catholic, was won by the Middies by a score of 34-27. Brilliant play all the way spot-lighted the victory and the right to play for the Ohio State Class A Title. The Middies' offense and defense worked like clockwork in the first half, giving them a 20-7 lead as they left the floor. Don Bolton's 12 points in the first half was enough to stay ahead of the Rams for awhile, but in the last half the situation changed. It seemed as if Lew Hirt had ordered his boys to roughen up the game a bit, and they did a good job of carrying out his orders. The referees, in their green shirts supposedly for St. Patrick's Day, also changed their whistle-tooting strategy and called fouls so often that the last half dragged like a back-alley game. A total of 42 fouls was called before the final gun. Bolton and Keller both left the game via the foul route and the remaining starters each had three in the last quarter. This might account for the fact that Hamilton outscored the Middies 10-7 in both quarters. The Middies all played a marvelous game and really showed their stuff for the first time in tournament play. TOLEDO WOODWARD Coach George Houck's miraculous Middies roared one step closer to the Ohio High School Class A basketball title by blasting Toledo Woodward from the tournament 53-29. Again as in earlier tournament games, the Middies were scarcely extended in gaining the victory. Woodward, the school ousted by the Middies in the state finals in '43-'44, was unable to break through the Middies' air-tight defense cr cope with the Purple accuracy at hitting the basket. Don Bolton led the parade of high pointers for the Middies with 13 to his credit, followed by Wells with 12 and Lansaw with 11. Omer Blevins, usually well up in the scoring column, TOURNAMENT was held to 8 points, collected on eight consecutive free throws. Bob Keller stood out be- cause of his stellar defensive play and his point-getting offensive work, although he himself tallied only 1 point. The Middies led all the way and were hampered only by some close but accurate foul calling by the referees. Near the end of the game, when almost everyone had conceded the victory to the Middies, Houck ran the subs onto the fioor. Then Bob Croake and Dick Reck enlivened things by scoring their first and second fielders of the year, re- spectively. AKRON NORTH Middletown High School's great basketball team won their second Class A Championship in three years by pushing aside stubborn Akron North 42-37 in the final period. The Mid- dies, playing before 7,000 screaming fans at the University of Toledo Fieldhouse, trailed most of the first three quarters, seeming to be unable to hit the baskets or break up the Akron fast- break offensive. The fourth period, however, told the tale, and the Middies in true cham- pionship form tied the score, went ahead, and held their lead to the final gun. The scoring was equally divided among the Middies with Bolton, Lansaw, Wells, and Blevins getting 8, 9, 10, and 12, respectively. The Vikings jumped to an early lead, scoring 6 points before the Houckmen could register a marker. Many times the Middies closed in on North, but each time they pulled ahead again until the Middies deadlocked the score 22 all at half time. Akron again led at the three-quarter point, but the calm and cool Middies tightened down and came out victorious. This victory marked the end of a perfect season of 26 victories and no defeats, and it also brought the coveted Johnny Miner traveling trophy and a per- manent trophy to M. H. S. This ended the basketball careers of seven senior varsity mem- bers: Don Bolton, Omer Blevins, Bob Keller, Paul Lansaw, Milton Wells, Bob Croake, and Arnold Romans - truly great basketball players and a grand bunch of fellows.

The latter meet was very close and very exciting. With Coach Ellison, Coach Lingrel, and Captain Tom Blake leading the team, a very enviable record was hung up. Tom Blake set a new discus record, while I. W. Deep In connection with the Track Team an inter-squad meet was held once each week in the following five events: 100 yard dash for speed, 880 yard run for endurance, shot put for strength, high jump for leg spring, and broad jump for leg drive.

There's a mail bag bound for California, I'll just hop in. My, what a bumpy ride that was, but here I am in California. I believe I'll stop in at this book store and buy the new book of best loved poems by Lois Holland and a volume of short stories by the famed authoress, Winifred Moorhead. Hier recent play, Her Secret, stars those versatile actreses, Mabel Rodgers and Connie Keller. There's MILADY'S BEAUTY SALON Owned and operated by Lois Goodman, wellfknown hair stylist. I think I'll drop in and have my whiskers curled! I hope one of those goodflooking assistants, Hazel Hollon, Pat Jones, or Helen Linkins, waits on me. Sitting over there under the dryers are Helen Smith, Margie Lansaw, Kitty Robinson, and Myrtle Williams, all private secretaries at MGM studios. And there, too, are vivacious Betty QRoehllj Alford and bewitching Doris fStampj Cahill. Walking by outside are several faculty members of the Uni' versity of California. I recognize Eileen Baird, di' rector of Physical Education, Ruth Lipfert, the inf ternationallyfknown linguist, John Kinley, outstandf ing physicist, and Donald Ginn, the noted author and scientist. Oh, look across the street! It's a holdfup of The Wendt Bank, but two brave policemen, Dan Abner and jim Gardner, seem to have the culprits well taken care of. I hear that at the court session to' morrow Troy Taylor will be the prosecuting attorf ney and Dick Muraski, the presiding judge. Now that my whiskers are curled, I'll blow up this bright red balloon and float over to Sun Valley, Idaho. Look down there at that colorful orange grove. I bet that's the one owned by Virginia Miller and Louise Daniel. I believe I'll sample an orange on my way by, I'm sure they won't mind. Over there I see Frank Hopper's Lumber Yards, and Robert Hillard's Dairy Farm, where my great Uncle Hezekiah used to scamper. There's a beautiful range of mountains ahead. Oh, j.oh! There's a leak in my balloon, and I'm headed straight for that mountain side. KERf PLUNK! Gosh, this snow is cold. Look, coming down the mountain side-it's a bird-it's a plane- it's Joanne Butterfield, the World's Ski Champion! SWOOSH! Oh, dear, one of her skis cut off the end of my tail. I'll roll myself into a snowball and slide down to that hospital in the valley. What a dizzy ride! Hmm, the placard says that this is The Annenberg Hospital. It must be named after Dr. Bernard Annenberg, who has done such brilliant work in scientic research. Being greeted by such a pleasant receptionist as Pat Dees makes my tail feel better already. Okay, Pat, I'll go to the emergency ward where Mildred Mayabb is in charge. My, these halls are wide, and according to that sign over there that room is occupied by Mary Kay 104 Wenzel, one of the famous Rockettes. I wonder if she's still kicking! Who's this all tied up in the straitfjackets and gags? Why, it's the comedians of stage and radio, Andy Amyx and jimmy Fay, the Joy Boys. That's what they get for laughing at their own jokes! The head nurse, Irene Dennis, just rushed past me to open the elevator door in order that Nurses Norma Palmer and Pat Hall can wheel in a patient-and it's none other than Milton Wells, the handsome, professional basketball star, maybe one of his famous Johnny shots backffired! There's Dr. Mayabb-wow! If only I could whistle! Nurses Louise Hart and Marie Elieff are working on my tail now, and Nurse Dorice Robinson is holding my paw. This is the life! But as all good things must come to an end, I must move on now that my tail is sewed back together again. Well, what do you know! Here I am at the kitchen Knot that the aroma of macaroni and cheese had anything to do with it!j I can see Mildred Darrell and Mary Lou Geran, dietitians, working over some new formulae, and there's Dr. William Young sampling some of the food. He's the head psychiatrist in that part of the hospital known as Queer Manor. fThat's a pun, son!j Passing through the lobby I can see jane Ann Leasure, head of the American Red Cross, Mary Edwards, petite pagefgirl, Dorothy Roberts, Conf stance Grimes, and Margie Gresham, dietetic experts on the hospital staff, Lois Gravenstein, director of the recreational activities of the hospital, and Myron Yount, the famous eye surgeon. I hear Elam studios is presenting this evening the premiere of Seeing Double, starring Clotilde and Rosalinda Robison and produced by Bob and Dick Keller. In order to get to the theater I'll just bum a ride on this ambulance that is leaving for the city. My, there are a lot of people here tonight for the premiere. There's the United States Ambassador to the Philippine Islands, Sterlin Fores. Entering just now are the dramatic critics, Bette Bramel and Muriel Brewer. There also are Freda Cundiff, weekly guest on Information, Please , Betty May Click, world traveler, john Garofalos, eliicient busif ness manager of Warner Brothers, Beverly Smith, the promising, young astronomer, Margaret Banks, Rhoda Didlick, and Eleanor Commodore, second Andrew sisters, EuNiece Perkins, wellfknown author and actress, Martha McFarland, exclusive milliner, Barbara Bigby, star of many Broadway plays, Bar' bara Murray, author of the Mrs. Anthony Column, and Arnita Lovelace, society editor of the Hollywood Times. I see by the program that the movie is taken from a book written by Susan Botos, the costumes were designed by Joan Sarchet and Margie Kendig, and the music was under the direction of Josephine Clark and Rosabelle Coleman. fContinued' on Page 1181 ...p-usll ' ,M X all MJD' ,f945 These Honors were given public mention and Wednesday morning, June 6. the Prizes presented at the Recognition Service held ELECTION CHARLES R.

Some of these electrical steels-thinner than this sheet of paper-are being made on the Armco precision strip mill pictured above. During the war they were used in combat Walkie-talkies and radar equipment. The time is coming when youill find these ultra-thin steels in high-quality radio sets, television sets and other electrical devices. These steels are the latest example of re- search by The American Rolling Mill Com- pany-long known as the nation,s leader in special-purpose sheet steels. pBMCO ru: AMERICAN fix x V it During the war many high school students worked part-time in Armco mills. They saw how steel is made, the problems that attend its productiong and they learned how vital this most plentiful of all metals is to the na- tion's economy. Right now in your own class there may be steel men, metallurgists, salesmen, in the mak- ing. But whether you go into steel or not, you have learned that in peace as well as in war steel is the backbone of industry. Witll- out it there would be no America as we know it today-with it we can go on to even greater things in the rapidly unfolding world ahead.

The man who never had to toil, Who never had to win his share Of sun and sky and light and air, Never became a manly man, But lived and died as he began. Good timber does not grow in easeg The stronger wind, the tougher trees, The farther sky, the greater length: The more the storm, the more the strength. By sun and cold, by rain and snows, In tree or man good timber grows. Where thickest stands the forest growth We find the patriarchs of both, And they hold converse with the stars, Whose broken branches show the scars Of many winds and much of strife- This is the common law of life. The above pretty well sums up what most businesses have to do, and since graduates grow up to enter business, we feel that occasional references to the above may help you over a blue moment now and then.

Well, itis the Capozzi 81 De Biasi Airport. In these luxurious waiting rooms and offices are many familiar faces. There are Doris Watson, Erma Snodgrass, and Pauline LaFayette, busily typing away. Going by the information window I see Elizabeth Brown, giving information to the manv travelers with her usual charming manner. I can hear her telling Gerry Cottle, the smart-looking model, that she should buy her ticket from the ticket agent, Carl New- land.

While they are talking, Maurice Gross, the general manager, and Don Perkins, head of the Meteorology Depart- ment, rush in very excited about the new radar system-something must have gone wrong! I think I'll see if anything special is going on out in the waiting room. There's Pat Cordon, the new authoress, who is probably on her way to Russia to write a sequel to her latest book. She is accom- panied by ,lane Garvin, newspaper col- umnist, who writes Views on the News. Having their baggage checked are Peggy Hydler and Gerry Cottle, fashion design- ers on their way to Paris. Listen-someone is announcing over the public address system that a plane is leaving for Panama, and I recognize Dick Caldwell's voiceg now he's announcing planes leaving for Tokyo, Shanghai, and Bombay.

Stooping to get into a private plane is Omer Blevins, the billionaire. With him is Warren Pence, the big game hunter who has just returned from the wilds of Africa. Arthur Thatcher, photographer for the World News, is getting ready to take a picture of them. Since there's a plane leaving for the East now, I think I'll take a fling at flying tool Oh, a big foot almost got me! Why, it's Frank McCullough, the famous radio comedian. I'd better watch out-oops! Here comes a big truck owned by Cividen and Conrad, distributors of wholesale air- plane gasoline. The ground crew over there, composed of Kenny Fox, Charles Gomia, Stanley Knabel, and Dale Lukens, is busily overhauling one of the large transports. Over near the runway are Bertha MoCurdy, Edna Williams, and Ruthie Mae Knox, energetic young Hyers. I see, too, Laurence Lackey, Carl Huehn, Herb Osborne, and Gus Kiniyalocts, working energetically on the mechanism of some strange craft. A special plane, holding celebrated entertainers of the movie world, has land- ed, one by one these queens descend from the plane. There are Nancy Stabler, Peggy Baird, Marchita Wheeler, Joan Frye, Joyce Weatherwax, Ginny Walters, Kathleen Thomas, and Betty Wagner.
