Through the years many, many more . millions have been invested so that today our schools are known throughout the length and breadth of this land for their winning teams, their high scholastic standing, and their superior ratings in musical and dramatic circles . . . We seniors are proud of our school and so, in behalf of all the loyal grads and the peppy undergrads, as well as our- selves, we give a big vote of thanks to you citizens, who have paid the millions of dollarsg to you men at the helm, who have planned so wisely: and to you members of the faculty, who have patiently taught us and guided us in all our classes and numerous activities. You have tried to give us the best so that we may live happy useful lives in a world community. In return we shall try to be the finest kind of citizens so that you will feel that your millions have been well invested . . . So. here's to you, to the future, and to this edition of the Optimist, in which we have tried to portray our senior year --our work and our play, our successes and our failures, our joys and our sorrows.

H. S. We wonlt all remem- ber the same things. Some will remember the gang, the notes that were passed in the halls, the crowd around the bulletin board each morning. Others will recall the crazy fads that started, Schmoes and the new look, the times we had to stand on the track at the basketball games because there wasn't room downstairs, the eternal homework we had to do, the teachers that put up with our pranks. Some will know by heart the poems they learned in English literature. Yes, we'll not remember the same things, but we will remember, for M. H. S. is well worth remembering. 7 IllllIIlllllIIllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll: ENGLISH AND LITERATURE.. Oh My Aching Head! Dictionaries and Thanatopsis may sound pretty uninteresting to us now, but by the time we're all settled into our various professions and enterprises, we'll be thankful that we have that strong foundation in the use of the English language, for it is necessary to everyone of us, no matter what career we may choose. A secretary, for instance, who tells her boss that she never didn't get no letter from they, isn't never going to have no job for long. And what kind of doctor would a man be if he couldn't spell? Clerks in stores, traffic officers, professional artists and Fuller brush salesmen - none of them can do their work without talking, and they'll thank their English teachers that the right words are being used at the right time. The library of M. H. S. is something to be very happy about. Novels and short stories, newspapers, biographies - all are there, and all are important in teaching us the true value of good literature. 8 Research? F A C U L T Y X EDNA ELAM ' ' A. B.

One thing is certain. They surely are experts at typing and shorthand. Per- haps, no M. H. S. student will ever be typing letters for Sam Goldwyn, but you can bet your bottom dollar that some of them will be typing letters for someone. They wouldn't be, if it hadn't been for the Commercial Department in M. H. S. This Co-op business is a pretty Wonderful thing. It offers you an opportunity to put your knowledge to work, and what could be better than learning something and being able to put it to immediate use? By the time co ops ar t f . - e ou o high school, there are usually full-time jobs waiting for them, and they are ready to take their places in the business World. 10 FACULTY AMY E. COMPTON D.

The band is really beating it out in 302, while next door art students are busily at work putting the finishing touches on what they hope will be a picture of the model perched on a high stool at the front of the room. What's the use of it ? some people say. Why must we play a waltz when we want to play a march ? Why can't we draw landscapes today instead of people? There is a reason. Fine Art classes are here to teach the students to appreciate all types of art and music by letting them do a little of each. And as time goes by, though few of us will become professional artists or musicians, we'll be glad that We learned to appreciate the finer things in life. Gabriel, Blow Your Horn!

But Home Ee does more than teach sewing and cooking: just talk to the teachers. They'll tell you it's a course in evolution-evolution of the home, the family, and marriage-they cover each subject thoroughly, in order to prepare the students for a happier home life and better living' in general. 16 D , Q The Way 5 My Dear! Where Did You Find The Recipe? A gentle breeze from the vicinity of Room 310 wafted a delicious aroma down the hall. If one entered the door of that fragrant- smelling room, one would see a large fiuiy angel food cake with pineapple icing and banana filling. Who could be the author of this gastronomical masterpiece? And then, perhaps, those re- sponsible would appear, a group of fellows, wearing egg-splotched aprons. Are you surprised? Male cooks you ask? No, not cooks-chefs, but def!! P. S. The girls cook, too. FACULTY ETHEL W. RAMMEL B. S. in Ed., Wilmington College Foods, English ELEANOR WHITNEY B. S., Otterbeing B.

S. take advantage of the industrial train- ing program, there are many who know little about their interesting work. Since about halt' the jobs available for work- ers are in the skilled trades, boys who take shop work have an advantage when they graduate from high school and seek employment. Knowledge and s k i l ls gained in electricity, auto shop, carpen- try, welding or machine shop, give them a start in a skilled occupation. You ncedn't think that the boys take a shop course just to get out of some hard subjects either. They have math that is just as hard, if not harder, than any solid geometry, and some electrical and carpentry problems that would stump the best trig students. So you see, the shops are an important part of any school, and the program offered at M. H. S., in co-operation with local inl- dustries, turns out boys who can take a job worth while in industrial life. Solution For The Housing Don't Be Irritated. Light Up A Blow Torch. Shortage?

One of the highlights of the govern- ment classes was the trip to the state capitol at Columbus. The students were kept busy visiting the state hospital, the feeble-minded home, the Ohio State Pen- itentiary, and the capitol building. The eighty boys and girls returned-yes, they all returned-their minds full of facts and their feet covered with blisters. Every pupil has had a taste of our history department. We've struggled through the American history course and many have majored in social studies. If we are to be good American citizens, we must know the background of our country and its government and the ideals on which it is built. Although sometimes the subject seems dull and uninteresting, the future rests on the students of today. Seek And Ye Shall Find. IL,-if A What To Be Or What Not To Be ll j 21 PHYSICAL EDUCATION . Our Girls Are Champs, Too. Oh, my aching back is a cry often heard from behind the doors at the end ofthe hall. Even though we complain about running the track and stand- ing on our heads, gym classes offer a diversion from our studies. We're sore for about a week, but we always recover. There's something about gym classes we just can't find in any other class fbesides the sprained ankles, I meanj. A spirit of sportsmanship and co- operation is developed from participation in the various physical activities. This is the beginning of what we call at M. H. S., fine teamwork.

It was Mr. Lingrel who took charge of the sale of tickets for all the various sports events. A new booth was built in the southeast corner of the gymnasium to take care of the many, many people who wished to buy tickets for basketball games, and Lingrel's supervision of the ticket sales during tournament season prevented the commotion which has prevailed in years past. Coach Lingrel spent a busy year maintaining health records, forming athletic schedules and purchasing all athletic equipment for M. H. S. and the elementary schools. Umm! What Muscles' 2 MATHEMATICS AND SCIENCE.. 0ops! Too Much! 77 -And My Conclusion ls That Two Plus Two Equal Four. Who will ever use algebra form- ulae but the quiz kids? Who will ever use chemistry but the guy who wants to blow up Uncle Harry? None of us will probably do either ot' these, but math and science do form the basis for many occupations that many of us will enter. But even il' we don't use them directly, they still give us a general understanding that often comes in handy in a tight spot. Whatcha See, Huh? Huh? Whatcha See? The housewife with science knows why her cake doesn't rise: the boy with physics can tell why his car stops dead: Mary quite contrary will know whv her garden grows if she studies her biology: the boy who knows his plane or solid geometry can tell you how high a tree is by just measuring the shadow: the algebra student knows how long it will take you to row upstream by just know- ing the speed ot' the current. Yes, we use our math and science every day without even knowing it. ibn Disconnec Dem Bones, Dem Dry Bones FACULTY KATHLEEN BANKER B.

Thus the wheels of the speech department re- volved, resulting in finished products by any group of young Thespians.

A., University of Cincinnati Principal In the past three years we have come to respect and admire this man, whose constant effort has been to maintain the high scho- lastic standards and to improve the educational value of the activities at M. H. S. His admin- istrative ability and knowledge of student life have resulted in a well-charted course, which we have used as a guide in our search for ed- ucation. To Mr. Baker should go considerable credit for the calm sea and prosperous voyage which lie ahead of the class of 1948. Superintendent WADE E. MILLER A. B., Heidelbergfg M. A., Chio State University SIl1ICl'l.?lf6lIfIl'1lf Small in stature but strong in spirit, Mr. Miller represents the heart and soul cf Middletown High. His earnest leadership has served as an inspiration to every student to make the most of each opportunity offered to him and to develop his individual talents to the best of his ability. Our superintendent has czlpably a n d effectivclv coordinated the activities of all sixteen schools with the result that Middletown has the distinction of having' one of the most outstand- ing school systems in the state. Dean J. C. SCHULZ, Dean of Boys Ph. B.. Heidelberg. Bible Most of us do not realize how fortunate we are not to have the problems of racial discrimination at Middletown High. Here students of various races and faiths work toprethcr and cooperate on practically all occasions. Much of the credit for such an amicable situation must go to Mr. Schulz, the quiet, unassuming Dean of Boys, who not only teaches Bible but puts those teachings into everyday practice. BETTY HAMPTON BETTY SANDERSON The unsung heroines of Middletown High School are the office girls, who coordinate the various behind the scenes activities so that we have a smoothly functioning school. To them we give a million thanks in this million dollar building for the million little things they do for us. Dean MABEL ELDRIDGE, Dean of Girls B. S. in Ed., Miami Universityg M. E., University of Cincinnati French, English Miss Eldridge and Middletown High School are practically synonomous, for either would lose its significance without the other. Her charming personality and friendly smile are an integral part of those familiar characte1'istics that make M. H. S. so dear to all of us. Although her duties as Dean of Girls require constant attention, she is always able to find extra time to assist pupils with any of their numerous problems. gl ill mvm R. W. SOLOMON 1873 - 1947 On November 3, 1947, R. W. Solomon was taken suddenly in death due to a fall that occurred in his home. The news of this sudden tragedy was a source of great grief to all of Middletown, for Mr. Solomon had been an honored and respected citizen in our community for thirty-one years, twenty-seven of which he served as the efiicient and effective Superintendent of Schools. As he often said of himself, Mr. Solomon was not the fii st to adopt the new nor the last to throw the old away. A well developed course of study was adopted and modified from time to time keeping pace with the progress in education. The buildings at Lincoln, Garfield, Senior High School, Roosevelt and McKinley Junior High Schools were all erected under his supervision and remain as living memorials to his planning. He was loved by those who knew him personally. He was a faithful citizen, diligent, earnest, and enthusiastic for the best things in life. The memory of his work will continue to establish his e-ood deeds in our hearts. We deeply mourn the loss of so faithful a friend and teacher. 30 lJ1fnnr1Zf PURTRAITS By James J.

MARILYN MOORMAN 1930 - 1947 In the summer of 1947, Marilyn Moor- man, who would have been a junior this year, was suddenly called from our midst. She participated in many activities, both in school and in the community. Her sparkling personality and her friendly smile won her lasting friends. The memory of Marilyn shall always linger in our hearts. TOM WHITTLESEY 1932 - 1947 A great tragedy struck Middletown High School early this fall when polio claimed the life of Tom Whittlesey. As a sophomore Tom was a promising athlete, well liked by all who knew him. Although a polio ward at Middletown Hospital was dedicated to Tommy and a great amount of money was collected in his name for the polio fund, no help given to this worthy cause in his memory can ever compensate the loss of such a friend. I I m IP Z Z C IV I- T rn v O T -I We seniors are at last literally sitting on top of the world, while the juniors are gaining confidence each day as they are half way up the trek toward the summit of success: but the poor little sophs are still gazing in awe at the long journey ahead just as we did. Remember way back there in '45 when we were a gang of subdued, bewildered sophs, and we started on the long and grueling journey of the three H's-Heartbreaks, Headaches, and Homework? It wasn't easy-that perilous race which faced us-but we met it with dogged determination in our hearts. Although some of us dropped out midway, the majority are fast approaching the homestretch. We've held tight to the reins and are ready to break the tape and finish the race in one clean sweep. Before us lies another race-one which shall tax our strength and ability to the utmost. How we finish in the preliminary race will be an all important factor to determine our chances in the final and most decisive race of life. We have learned that in order to be successful we must never cease to strive toward higher goals with the desire for knowledge in our hearts. IY48 32 xr! ,M ,JW -1,-g-Q' ....-- -.4-1.

In this million dollar building of ours not only do we learn valuable lessons in the classrooms, but opportunities have also been provided that we may develop those important in- tangible qualities acquired especially in extra-curricular activities. . . Initiative and executive ability, dependability and cooperation are encouraged by work on our publications and in our many clubs. Patience, exactness, and persever- ance are gained while we change ourselves from rank ama- teurs into finished fit's probably the end for some of themj actors. Some of our more talkative students develop poise as they deliver their orations from our high school stage. Working together in plays and clubs forms friendships that will never be forgotten. Just as loyalty is an import- ant part of the adult world, so we are loyal to our school our classmates, and our teachers. Since the heights of success can not be accomplished without enthusiasm, we learn to attack only those projects to which we can give our enthus'astic cooperation. . .

Seventeen proud, breathless seniors were presented their member- ship cards of the National Honor Society this fall. At the first meeting these seniors learned the requirements for this organization. Although one must be in the upper one-third of his class to even be considered for membership, leadership, character. and service in the school and community are important requirements. In March thirty seniors were added to this group. Our chapter is an honorary group and does not sponsor any activities as in some schools. Jim Demetrion was elected president at the iirst meetingg Irvin Herman, vice-president, and Nancy Hampton, secretary. 72 Ist Row Nancv Cox, Nancy Hampton, Dick Ross, Mary Ann Holland. 2nd Rau Perxv Brown, Jim Demetrion, Jim Young. STUDENT COUNCIL. The Student Council, representing the students of Middletown High School, was again active this year. The advisers were Miss Lamphier and Mr. Minnich. The purpose of this organization is to act as a medium between the faculty and the students, to in- vestigate many of the problems which seem so important to the students, and to decide matters that come under the jurisdiction of the student body. Through the Council additional money was raised for the War Memorial Plaque by the increased collection of tax stamps and the sale of Middie scarfs. A complete list of names of the honored war dead for the plaque was compiled. The meeting place of the Council was changed from Room 109 to Room 206 to give a better room for discussion. Through the Council the Activity Ticket holders were given a better chance to secure seats in our overcrowded gym during the basketball season. A dance was also given in April for the enjoyment of everyone. Oflicers elected this year by the Student Council were Perry Brown, presidentg Jim Young, vice-president, Nancy Cox, sec- retaryg Dick Ross, treasurer, Jim Demetrion, sergeant-at-arms. Various committees were organized to further the efficiency of the Council. The committee chairmen were Nancy Hampton, tax stamps, Mary Ann Holland, miscellaneous, Barry Levey, sportsg Marvin Monroe, social, Jim Young, publicity. 73 5 -96' ti L QC' gm ,,, OPTIMIST Sitting: Tom Tranter.

Oh my achin' feet! could often be heard from the members of the advertising staff as weary and tired they straggled in from going all over town for ads. Shirley Bennington Mary Ann Roof Shirley and Mary Ann typed far into the night rrany times after all the rest of the staff had gone home. Imagine writing every word in this book three or four times! That was their stupendous task, which they al- ways did beautifully and with a smile. Mark Scheibert, Myrties Rogers, Irvin Herman.

Betty Selby Marie Lemmons Barbara Huffman Lois Beedle Almentz Connie Lewis The class staff was often seen with glue in their hair and sticky brushes in their hands, for they mounted pic- tures night after night when you were doing y 0 u r Christmas shop- ping. Nancy Byrd ...... .hu Ten pairs of saucer-sized eyes shown, ten mouths were round with Hoohs ' and t'ahs, and ten people glowed with astonished happiness. At last, the major Optimist staff was chosen. Miss McCray had told each one, and the building popped with excitement. The first job to be done was to choose the minor staff. One afternoon the ten people gathered together and picked the mInor staff. CDon't we wish we could have used everybodylb Then all was quiet, but up in the Optimist office ten people could be seen tearing their hair out and clawing the desk with what was left of their fingernails after they had chewed them off. Then all of a sudden a shout of victory arose and ten weary seniors and Miss McCray staggered out. The theme had been chosen, A Million Dollars is a Lot of Money, and every- Jim Demetilon iim':o.h',' lkwmeroy one was ready to start off with a bang! 52 ? 75 OPTIMIST Gary Troup, Mary Hendricks, Perry Brown, Francis Kartavich. Shall we use this one or that one? Which picture to use out of all the pictures taken of that particular play or game was often hard to decide. Then, too, every game and every activity must be recorded in order to hand down the story of this year to future generations. Gosh! If you only knew how much glue and elbow grease were used on this book. The janitor often was kept busy late at night cleaning up after us weary workers. Coke bottles and cookie crumbs were often found amid the grawed pencils and broken rulers. Weight was lost, and circles under our eyes were a common sight. But we did have fun! Gales of laughter echoed in the small cell above the third floor, and candy bars were consumed by the dozens. And then of course there were our two faithful photog- raphers, Mac and Mr. Tobias, who came out night after night and took pictures and more pictures.

Ma rj orie Beck George Skillman Our co-editors, Mar- jorie Beck and George Skillman, were really kept busy this year and were up to their ears in money fat least in thoughtl. After a million dollars was chosen as a theme, Nancy Hampton got so that she dreamed about sorting pictures by the time her staff was through mounting all the class pictures, little and big. Dorothy Pomeroy and her staff donned their thinking caps and furnished the class will and opening section. One pair of shoes after another was Worn out by Tom Tranter and the other members of his staff as they solicited ads, while Nancy Byrd and her staff used up ink, crayons, pencils, and other art equipment in order to turn out this snappy art work. By Jim Demetrion and his staff, when they were inspired, the humor and special features were concocted. Lydia Hoffman and Barry Levey, with their respective staffs, preserved memo1'ies of the plays, games and other activities for us so that Jim Young would have something worthwhile in the books which he was responsible for circulating. And last but not least, oodles and oodles of orchids to Miss McCray, who kept things going when we thought we'd never get done. Barry Levey Veda McCray Tom Tranter 77 MIDDLETCJNIAN...

Irvin llcrnian, feature editor, Hey everybody, lvliddletonians are out l Every other Wednes- day at five minutes till three, the representatives, who took the papers to the home rooms. could be seen tearing down the halls with the papers. The paper kept everybody informed about what was going on around school and in town. Many interesting and new columns were featured this year. Such features as Garb by Harb, Hounzl in l7irrI1'.s, 1'Irrff1'r Prrffcr, 111'-Nofcs, Thr' Long and Short of If, and I'rof1'ssm' Iffl'IllI' Yogflns cIlII'l'l'-If Fojfiiz Cor nw' were presentei. Letters to the press were welcomed and many student opinion polls were written up. The Middletonian sponsored several coli- tests this year. A Brotherhood Contest was held in which all participants wrote themes on brotherhood and how to obtaiw it. In order to make money for the food fund for the children ol' Europe, a contest was held in which one had to identify a smal photograph of an object. Every other Thursday, the day after the paper came out, the Press Club met to discuss changes and improvements for the paper, ways to make money for it, and to receive their assign- ments for the next edition. Under the guidance of Miss Mabel Eldridge, the paper was again a member of the National Scho- last'c Press Association and rated very high among the high school newspapers. Two members of the staff, Lucy Sebald and Irvin Ilerman, together with Dorothy Pomeroy and George Skillman from the Optimist Staff, attended the National Con- vention in Cleveland in November. 78 ga Wanda Perry, assistant editor.

Y-TEENS IN ACTION Each year at the initiation service of the Y-Teens, the new girls light their small candles from the big center candle which represents the great bright Light of Christ. This big candle was especially molded for this service from the candles used in years before by other Y-Teen girls. There just never seemed to be enough food to satisfy every- one's wants at the popular bake sales. The candy and cookies, made by the girls themselves, were gone in nothing Hat. Scrapbooks were made at some meetings for the children's ward at the hospital to help entertain the children as they lay in bed. Favors for Christmas trays and bandages were also made for the hospital. Oh, I ate too much! This statement could be heard often after a covered dish. This is only one of the many activities that help bring the girls closer to- gether in fellowship and friend- liness.

'd' J' 5' Q22 'EL .539 , I 'HHS' Y-TEENS CABINET Buy a poppy? was only one of the familiar questions heard this year as the Y- Teens performed one of its many services for the city. Poppies, forget-me-nots, and ribbons for the Cancer Fund were sold by the girls. Each week at the football game the Y-Teens sold pennants, stickers, Middie ribbons, and programs. In order to raise money for their own treasuries each group had white elephant sales and bake sales. Thanksgiving and Christmas baskets were filled and sent to many needy families. Bandages were rolled and little Christmas tray decorations were made for the hospital. Jewelry and other articles were gathered together and sent to Longview. Money was given to the Red Cross, Near East, and other funds. A variety of programs was presented this year by the Y-Teen groups. Many sub jects such as world affairs, manners, styles, boy and girl relationships. and the general problems concerning living today were discussed. Speakers were brought in to talk to the diferent groups on some of these subjects, sometimes at joint meet- ings. The Hi-Y and Y-Teens met together on the World Day of Prayer for a pro- gram presented by various members of these groups, and sometimes they held joint meetings for discussion. .There were also many social highlights of the year for the seven groups: Gamma, Sigma, Rho, Iota. Lambda, Omega, and Epsilon.

To create, maintain, and extend throughout the school and community high standards of Christian character,, is the purpose of the Hi-Y and the goal of the six Middletown groups. In preparation for the year's activities, the officers of the various clubs attended the state Hi-Y camp at Camp Nelson-Dodd for one week. They received religious and physical training and were instructed in the Hi-Y ways. The camp also gave the fellows an opportunity to exchange ideas and experiences with representatives from other cities. The year's activities opened with an impressive induction of the new members at the Bethlehem Lutheran church. The parents of the inductees attended the cere- mony, and Dr. Wickham of Miami University gave the principal address. Sports held a major part in the activities with a program that included a six-man touch football and basketball league. Croix Hi-Y received the football trophy after completing the season as the first place team. Miami came out on top as the winner of the basketball league. The clubs sponsored the Friday evening dances in the Y. M. C. A. gymnasium and sometimes held other social events. Each club donated to the World Service Organization which establishes Y. M. C. A. facilities and aid all over the world. Hi-Y members acted as ushers at the joint meeting with Y-Teens in the World Day of Prayer Service. Meetings were held every Thursday in various rooms of the Y. M. C. A. where the clubs decided business and planned social activities. Joint meetings were held in the Y. M. C. A. auditorium with prominent men as speakers upon topics of worth- while interests. The Hi-Y meetings, activities, and services were enjoyed by all the membership and helped the members to stride forward in becoming better citi- zens of the future. 82 HI-Y N ACTIGN Each meeting usually begins with a devotional service in which the scripture is read, poems or short talks pertaining to the scripture are given, and a prayer is offered. One of the services of the Hi-Y boys is the fill- ing of Christmas a nd Thanksgiving baskets for some poor families in the city. Money donations are also given to Worthy causes. Discussions are held in each group concerning such subjects as world affairs, universal mili- tary training, boy and girl relationships, and social problems. N'-V1 83 llfrwlfu- A ll.

In their snappy new black and gold uniforms, the Middie Band, underl the direction of H. Vincent Carter, proved that Middletown High School can be noted for its band in addition to its athletics. Aided by the pre- season band camp training, the band competed with many high school bands during the football season and made many of them wish they had never gone on the field. Through the efforts of the Alumni Association, for the first time in the history of M. H. S., the band attended every one of the football games both at home and away. After football season the band had an equally successful concert season. In addition to its annual assembly, it gave a series of three public concerts and made a number of out-of-town appearances. For the second year oflicers were elected in the band with the following results: Perry Brown, president, Gilbert Egelston, vice-president, Dave Brewer, secretary-treasurerg Bob Jay, junior representative, Jack Hark- rader, senior representative, Bill Minck, sophomore representative. In addition to the elected officers Mr. Carter appointed the following people: Pauline Porter, head drum majoretteg Bob Frisch, uniform manager, Irvin Herman, publicity manager, Don Duvall, student manager, George Skill- man, student conductor. 85 ORCHESTRA Is!

GLEECLUBS One of the most successful seasons in the whole school was enjoyed by the Middie Boys' Glee Club under the able direction of H. Vincent Carter. Every second period Room 302 resounded with everything from spirituals to love songs. The great success of the Glee Club was partially due to their renditions of many popular numbers, such as Night and Day, Smokes Gets In Your Eyes, and the use of many Fred Waring arrangements, as the popular Dem Bones . The Glee Club gave concerts at West Elkton, at Franklin High School, and for several service clubs, in addition to numerous radio programs. The Senior Girls' Glee Club, the Acapella Choir and the Sophomore Girls' Glee Club could be heard every morning practicing and filling the halls with harmony. These groups combined to give one of our nicest assembly programs, to broadcast on our Schooldays programs, to sing carols through the halls just before Christmas, and to help make Carmen a success. All the girls, under the direction of Miss Helen Weinberger, enjoyed singing both popular and classical songs. ss CR Q y .ef . fifmk, QB eng BAND...

Under the baton of H. Vincent Carter, the Orchestra entertained at all three class plays and made their best showing when they played for the Operetta. It was also an attraction at the Variety Show and rounded out the year with its performance at Baccalaureate and Commence- ment. During the first semester the Orchestra bore the brunt of the buf'- den on the music department's weekly radio program Bach to Boogie. In addition to playing the theme. the Orchestra had the task of illustrating the typical Works of the various composers as their life T stories were told.

The first act, When We Were Very Young, featured the play, Two Crooks and A Lady, woode land scenes, and the scare-crow parade. The two children day- dreamed of what they wanted to be when they grew up, and their daydreams were enacted. In the second act, Study Hall Daze, Jack and Judy discussed plans for the home they wanted to have when they were married. The Sophomore Girls' Chorus sang Softly as the Morning Sunrise, Ercell Bennett sang The Man I Love, and a one-act play, I-Iappy Journey, was given. Senior Daze, the third act, showed Jack and Judy at a night club. A floor show was presented by the German Band, under the direc- tion of Irvin Herman, the Can-Can Chorus, the Staircase Four, and Sally Pomeroy, who sang All the Things You Are. On the way home Jack and Judy began to wonder what would hap- pen if they had an accident, which set the scene for When the Sun Rises, a one-act play.

They try to get Mr. Kenny, the producer of Most- ly Murder, to see their play so that they may get a chance with a road company. If it weren't for Norman Reese tllarrell Hodgej, they would p1o'.ia'.Jly have given up long l'9l-010, but he looks after them like a mother hen, especially Dottie Coburn tJane Heck! whom he loves but doesnt lfnoxv it. Marge Benson fMar- cha Johnson! and Tony Den- nison QTony Valenj are secretly married and have their troubles keeping it from the others.

One of the highlights was the program which featured Harold Brooks of McKinley High School, who gave a humorous and instructive book review of the Sears and Roebuck catalogue. KNITTING CLUB... A new club made its appearance this year and knit two, purl two practically became the pass word. The membership consists of girls who meet once a week under the guidance of Mrs. Rammel.

FUTURE TEACHERS OE AMERICA Experience was the key word for the members of the Future Teachers of America this year. Experience was gained by the ones who want to teach kindergarten, when they helped at the various kindergartens in Middletown. Those Who want to teach in the Primary and Junior High Schools were allowed to sit in on a class and then to teach for a while. In Senior High School the members gained their exper- ience by being assigned as helpers to diferent teachers. In this Way all learned more about the troubles and the joys of a teacher's life.

S. this year was the Middle- town Youth Forum, dedicated to the thesis that an informed youth will hasten a lasting world peace. Various topics, such as The Marshall Plan, Communism, Dis- placed Persons, and Income Tax Reduction were both cussed and discussed by the fifty members. The highlight of this program of Education For Survival was a weekly half hour radio broadcast entitled Youth Views the News, presented each Sunday afternoon on WPFB.

S T A T E Sixteen enthusiastic would be politicians scampered off to Ohio Wesleyan for the American Le- gion's annual Buckeye Boys' State in June 1947. With a spirit of de- termination and a will to win, the local delegation managed to get Jay Beatty in the running for the Gov- ernorship. Although he lost in a heartbreaker, the sixteen boys left an impressive record behind. Troy Hall was elected Chief Justice of the Supreme Court, Paul Wells was appointed Director of Public Welfare, Jay Beatty was consoled by his appointment as Director of Education, and Mark Scheibert was chairman of the Parole and Pardon Commission. Ten days after their enthusiastic departure, sixteen men of govern- ment wearily made their way back home, exhausted by their hectic ex- periences, but much impressed by the greatest ten day course in government given anywhere. 4 . gi , Joan Ingwersen, Sally Lamb, Nancy Byrd, Miss Veda McCray, Betty Nickell, Paul Wells, consulg Mary Hendricks, Tom Tranter, Lydia Hoffman, Marjorie Beck.

Highlighting their activities for 1947-1948 was a Roman Banquet held on May 5, at which junior Cicero students received their membership cards and pins. The purpose of this organization is to hand on the torch of classical civili- zation to the modern World. DEBATE TEAM...

H. S. been represented by finer athletic teams than we have seen in the 1947-1948 season. . . Last spring we had a fine track team that lost only one meet, and our boys placed very well in state competition. Our tennis teams were very successful, winning a singles title in the Greater Ohio League. . . In the fall we turned our eyes to a football team of which we were justly proud, for this squad was the first Middletown grid team to win state recognition. Not only did they rank third best team in the state and win the Greater Ohio League title, but several of our boys were named to the All-Ohio squad. . . As football gradually faded from the scene, all eyes at M. H. S. turned to the gym and the Middie basketball team. And what a team we had! We saw them recognized as the team to beat in the state, but in spite of this terrific pressure they went on to mark up an undefeated season and win the Greater Ohio League. Though our boys were beaten by a scrappy Miamisburg team in the Regionals, they were champs--even in defeat. . . Con- gratulations to all you Middie athletes for your great spirit, your boundless energy, and the long hours you have spent on the field and in the gym to bring honor to our high school. 174 . 100 PQ vo- I -05g w 3,2 1 , 4 sf ,Q ,gx Q A, x I' 'J -M, -' I 9 f 'Ji gs ,..f i ,U Wir FOOTBALL VARSITY.. . Our 1947 football team brought more honors to M. H. S. than any previous Middie grid team in the history of the school. The Middies battled through the first nine games of their tough ten contest schedule unbeaten, only to lose a heartbreaker to Hamilton in the season's finale. Our team, however, had the distinction of holding the number three ianking in the state of Ohio. Then too, senior guard, Eddie Forkner, was picked on the All-Ohio squad's first team. We also placed several boys on the second and third Ohio teams and all Greater Ohio League teams. Coach Glenn Ellison was ably assisted in guiding' the Middies by line coach, Stan Lewis, and end coach, Harold Mason.

AIS b Id A N G L E D Daviii jNilliams The Middies grabbed their opener by soundly thrashing a helpless Monroe squad. The 52-0 count is the highest score the Middies have ever made while under the tutelage of Coach Glenn Ellison. The Purple's fleet backs worked Elli- son's new T formation brilliantly behind blocking that was performed almost to perfection. Babe Calhoun, speedy half back, scored three touchdowns and two placements to lead the Middies. His running mate, Bill Jones, played a spec- tacular ball game, and, although he scored only once, he kept the fans on their feet with his brilliant runs. Full back Phil Morrow scored one touchdown, and quarter back Curt Jones handled the ball beautifully from under center, however, the soggy field kept him from unleashing his aerial attack. The Middies scored freely in all periods behind the spectac- ular running of Jones and Calhoun. After a beautiful run back of a punt late in the third period, sophomore Bob Haw- kins went over three plays later. Dick Morrow's pass to Joslin made it 44-0, and another pass added the point. Lowell Darrel skirted 34 yards around end, and the scoring was ended with a drop-kick by Pickerell. Coach Ellison gave the fans a full showing of his talent by using almost four full teams. 103 MIDDLETOWN 39 - NEWARK 7 iwggii Eddie Forkner Curt Jones GWMW ERCILESS The Middies gave the Newark Wildcats a sound beating 39-7 to take their second straight. The Purple defense so completely bottled up the Wildcat backs that they ended up the night with a rushing net gain of minus 22. Bill Jones and Babe Calhoun again sparked the Middie offensive with two touchdowns each. Middie guard Eddie Forkner, who operated last year at quarter back, was in Newark's back field all night. He twice pulled his way through Newark's blockers to smash down punt attempts so that the Middies gained possession of the ball on the two-yard line and again on the nineteen. On both occasions the Middies carried the ball over on the next play. The Wildcats' running attack simply never materialized in the face of vicious line play by the Middies, since one attempt after another was thrown back by the Middie linemen. The Purple scored with less than five minutes gone in the first quarter and couldn't be stopped from there on. They scored almost at will, working up another counter in the second period and two more in each of the last quarters. Coach Ellison again used all his substitutes during the last three quarters. 104 af Q ...ci l az 1 y if MIDDLETCWN 36 - FAIRVIEW 7 Phil Morrow A U L E D Barry Levey Elbert Tannreuther The Purple rolled to their third victory as they downed Dayton Fairview 36-7. The Middies were unable to get their offense moving in the first half, and they had only a six point lead as the gun went off ending the halfg however, the Mid- dies came back to play Dayton Fairview off their feet. The brilliant open field running of Babe Calhoun paved the way with a 71 yard run for a touchdown shortly after the half started. Calhoun accounted for 12 of the pointsg the other twenty-four points for the Middies were divided among four players: half back Bill Jones, quarter back Curt Jones, substitute half back Bob Hawkins and end Dick Miltenberger, who took a beautiful pass from Curt Jones to score early in the third quarter. The Purple looked bad in the extra point department, missing five kicks and a line plunge. Fairview's only score came in the third quarter when Bren- nem, Fairview's quarter back, carried the ball over from the third on a sneak play. 105 MIDDLETOWN 27 - LIMA SOUTH I4 X . 1 5 A I ' 543.1 1 U, ,Q Eff- ' 4 3 N, T f f- . .7 - ' if i' -.

All four touchdowns were made by Bill Jones with his run- ning mate, Babe Calhoun, adding the three extra points. The Middies started off strong by scoring a touchdown early in the first period, but they were stunned by a Tiger touch- down in the same period, which put Lima ahead 7-6 at the quarter's end. The second period was much like the first with Jones scoring early in the stanza, Calhoun making the kick, and Lima coming back in the same period with a touch- down and conversion to make the score 14-13 at the half. In the third quarter Jones scored again and Calhoun made the conversion good to make the score 20-14. In the fourth stan- za the Middie defense, led by Captain Chuck Asher and end Joe NewTand, held back the hard-fighting Tigers on the ten, and Bill Jones cashed in the final touchdown for the Middies after the stage was set by Calhoun in his long jaunt deep into Lima territory. Although they won, the Middies suffered the loss ot' senior end Dick Miltenberger, who fractured his foot late in the fourth quarter. 106 MIDDLETOWN 33 - COLUMBUS EAST I4 ASSACRED Dwi? Sonny Dmgess The Powerful Purple took their fifth straight by whipping Columbus East's Tigers 33-14. The Middies scored early in the first period when Gary Troup intercepted a Tiger pass on the thirty-four and on the next play took it over. Taking a Tiger punt in midfield, Bill Jones set up the Purple's second score with a beautiful display of broken field running. He carried the ball through almost the entire Columbus team before he was finally stopped on the seven- teen. On the next play Jones again broke loose and scored on an end run. In the second period, however, Houpe inter- cepted Curt Jones' pass and on a series of end runs took it over for East's first score. A fumble by Phil Morrow gave East their second touchdown. The Middies came out strong in the second half, and it took them less than a minute to score. In two plays Jones was over again. Calhoun kicked the extra point making it 20-14. Late in the third period it was Jones who scored again on a long drive. Our final touchdown came when Eddie Forkner intercepted a Tiger pass on the forty- seven. Troup went over on a sneak play three plays later, but Calhoun failed to make the conversion, and the gun went off ending the game. 107 It MIDDLETOWN 32 - LIMA CENTRAL 0 GJ 2. Vi' Babe Calhoun K enne H1 Shafer O B B E D Bob Joslin The Middie Warriors gained victory number six by smashing Lima Central 32-0. The Middies scored in every quarter with Babe Calhoun heading the attack with three touchdowns and two conversions. The other Purple's tallies were made by Bill Jones and Bob Grimes. The first quarter saw two touchdowns by Calhoun, one after an eighty-eight yard march by the Middies and the other from a short Lima punt. Calhoun failed to kick either 'extra point, so the score at the end of the quarter was 12-0. An exchange of punts opened the second quarter but was interrupted when Chuck Asher recovered a Central fumble to set the stage for the Purple's third touchdown, which came when Bill Jones scored from the twenty-eight yard mark. The score at the half was 19-0. The third quarter consisted of short running plays and punts until Curt Jones connected on a 39-yard pass to Bob Grimes, who took the ball over for the score. The fourth stanza was much like the third, only Babe Calhoun carried the ball for the touchdown. 108 V .

Me, The Middies took their seventh straight from a deter- mined, fighting Springfield team in a fiercely fought 9-7 thriller before some 12,000 fans. Calhoun and Jones sparked a 53 yard drive for the Middies' lone touchdown early in the game. Behind deadly blocking they scored in seven plays the first time they got the ball. Calhoun made the placement and his subsequent kick-off was taken by Pearl, Wildcat half back, who was dropped in his tracks on the one foot line by guard Eddie Forkner. Failure to punt out was fatal to Springfield on the next play, for Forkner and the entire right side of the Middie line swarmed on Pearl for a safety, giving the Middies a 9-0 lead before the game was five minutes old. From there on the two teams played even for two quarters until late in the third quarter when Springfield recovered a fumble on the one. It was here that the Purple linemen put on their greatest defensive show of the year. They held firm for two plays on the one yard line, and on the third, guard Joe Newland recovered a fumble. Late in the fourth quarter Stinchcomb, a Wildcat end, took the ball on an end-around play for a 63 yard jaunt to pay-dirt for Springiield's only score. 109 MIDDLETOWN I3 - PORTSMOUTH I3 Franlz Karfavich Lowell Darrel l S P R l N T 7 Richard Pickerell ca 3 The Portsmouth jinx was still effective as the Middies battled a stubborn, determined Portsmouth eleven to a 13-13 tie. The dream of a perfect season and a number one rank- ing in the state was literally demolished by the fighting Trojans. Portsmouth ripped off its first score, taking the opening kick-off and marching all the way to a touchdown with its star half back, Gib Clow, leading the way with his flashy end runs. Ray Yeagle kicked the extra point. The Middies came through with a score in the second quarter with a long pass from Curtis Jones to Bob Joslin in the end zone. Babe Calhoun kicked the point tying the score 7-7 at the half. Both teams battled to a standstill in the third quarter, but the Middies broke through for a score in the fourth with just nine minutes to go in the game. Jones carried the ball over, but Calhoun missed the conversion making the score 13-7. Portsmouth, however, still undaunt- ed, came roaring back in the final minutes of the game with a drive that saw Sparks carry the ball over the goal line on a reverse. The conversion was blocked by determined Middie linemen, and the game ended in a 13-13 deadlock. 110 MIDDLETOWN 37 - WILBUR WRIGHT 6 Bob Grimes Bob Hawkins UTILATED LeeBowen Homecoming night for the Middies saw a helpless Wilbur Wright team trampled in the mud of Lincoln Field as the powerful Purple bounced back from the tie at Portsmouth. With both of their star backs, Calhoun and Jones, on the bench with injuries, the Middies found very capable replace- ments in the flashy antics of Bob Hawkins and Gary Troup, who held the fans spellbound with their sparkling runs. During the first quarter the Middies' first touchdown occurred when Hawkins plunged over from the six after a long move down the field behind excellent blocking. Troup went over from the seven for the second score of the game. Both extra points were missed. Neither team could score in the second quarterg however, the Middies hit pay-dirt three times in the third period. Curt Jones threw a short pass to Joslin for the first touchdown, and Troup and Hawkins each added one which made the score 31-0. Hawkins scored again in the last stanza on a pass interception. With but two minutes to go, Skip Otto scored Wilbur Wright's lone touch- down on a reverse from the fourteen-yard stripe. 111 1 A MIDDLETOWN 0 - HAMILTON I4 4, - ',g . fsgg ' 1 iwdn i LQ A , ,. ,r 6 2, .

The Big Blue kick-off opened the game in a quarter that saw both teams unable to move in the slushy mud of the Miami Stadium. In the first part of the second period the Middies started a seventy-one yard drive which was destined to end in the first break for Hamilton. Finally forced to punt after driving to the twenty-seven, Demos Jones, Hamilton left tackle, broke through to block the punt. It spun crazily in the opposite direction, aided by a freak kick by one of Hamilton's linemen as he fought for the ball. After a mad rush it was finally downed on our own twenty-five by Hamilton. Jim Bailey went around end to score on a double reverse. and Sumser converted. Hamilton's kick-off returned the ball to the Middies, who were unable to gain and were forced to punt from their own twenty-one. Gross's pass from center was high, and Curt Jones was unable to grab the muddy pigskin. Griessinger, Hamilton end, recovered it on the four yard line. Jacobs took it over for the Blue on the next play, and Sumser's kick ended the scoring at 14-0. The Middies fought gamely the final quarter, but were unable to score against the inspired Hamilton team. 112 Middie Jay Vees Middie Jay Vees Middie Jay Vees Middie Jay Vees Middie Jay Vees Middie Jay Vees Middie Jay Vees This year's Jay Vee football team had almost as fine a record as their big brothers.

The 2300 fans were amazed when the score stood 17-13 in favor of the visitors at the half. ln the Jird quarter the Middies started to hit and poured it on with Grimes and Mc- Chesney each sinking 4 field goals to put them ahead as the quarter ended. Although Franklin fought valiantly, they were on the short end of a 46-33 seore as the game ended. Grimes was high for the victors with 20 points, while Hubbard paced the losers with 13. STZWEQS In a hard fought contest which saw the lead change 10 times, the Middies finally overcame a tough Stivers' team. The first quarter saw the Stivers Five taking an early lead, but the undaunted Middies came back to lead at the end of the quarter. Both teams played evenly through the second quarter, and the Middies led 25-23 at the half. In the third period both teams put on a defen- sive show, and Stivers crept up to within one point of us, but the fourth quarter was all lVliddletown's, and, sparked by Grimes and Linville, the Middies led -10-3.1 as the game ended. Rod Adkins Shelby Linville 116 MIAMISBURG The Middies snapped out of the dol- drums and played a brilliant game as they romped to a 47-31 win over a pre- viously unbeaten Miamisburg Five. Their beautiful passwork and deadly shooting kept nearly 2,000 fans cheering. The Middies played their best rebound game thus far, controlling the ball off the baekboard most of the time. The Middies had a 1-1-fi lead at the end of the first period, a 26-15 edge at half time, and with but 4 minutes remaining, they led 40-25: then Coach Walker substituted freely. Grimes was again high for the Middies with 18. COLUMBUS SOU The Middletown Middies thrashed Columbus South by a 61-27 margin to revenge one of its worst defeats of last season. The Middies were strictly on the hot side hitting 38 per cent of the shots in the first, quarter and 41 per cent in the second quarter. Columbus South never threatened the Middies. All-state Shelby Linville was high for the Purple with 10 points. The score stood 33-13 at the half with the Middies scoring 28 points in the last half. The Reserves played most of the last quarter, but even they had lit.tle mercy on the Columbus South Bulldogs. Tl- N EXW A E31 E4 The Mighty Middies eked out a 36 to 34 victory over the Newark Wildcats before an overflowing' crowd at Newark, The game was won in the closing seconds as Rod Adkins, after a brilliant dribble down the fioor, fired a pass to Bob Grimes who scored a lay-up shot. The Middies looked destined for another re- versal at the hands of the Wildcats, for Newark led throughout most of the game. It was only through a Herculean effort on the part of the Middies in the final quarter that they emerged victor- ious. The score at the half was Newark 22 - Middletown 15. R00 'S EV!?l..'l' The sixth victim of the Purple cagrers was Dayton Roosevelt. The out-sized Teddies never came close as the Middies broke out in front in the first 30 seconds and rambled to an easy 46-23 victory. Coach Walker unwrapped several new defensive plays that tore huge holes in the Teddies' defense and Worked to near perfection. The Teddies enjoyed some success, however, by holding Bob Grimes to just four points, but George McChes- ney made up for it as he scored 6 goals and 4 fouls to lead the Middies with sixteen points. Sliiii?--!'ETf?f??El,i3 The Purple cagers notched their sev- enth victory in a row as they downed the Springfield Wildcats 49-38 at the Springheld gym. The Middies got off to a fast start and kept the lead for the remainder of the game. It was the un- canny shooting of Bob Bush which spelled the difference for the Middies. Linville and Grimes both exhibited some very brilliant defensive work which helped the Middies take a 25-I2 ad- vantage at the end of the half. The Wildcats caught fire in the third stanza narrowing the margin to 6 points, but the Middies pulled away in the fourth period to win the game easily. M C F ffl' The Mighty Middies romped over the Monroe Hornets 70-39 as they broke a twenty-seven year scoring' record. The Hornets staged their best efforts in the second quarter they came within Eve points of the Middies.

Shooting wildly and unable to start any kind of an offen- sive, the Middies looked like a beaten team. The Big Blue led 16-6 at the end ot' the first quarter, but the Middies climbed up to within 3 points ot' them at halt'-time. Coach Paul Schofer's boys raced away to a 27-18 edge in the thiid quarter, but the Middies came back to trail 27-23 as the last quarter started. In the final period a free throw by Me- Chesney, a tip-in by Linville. and Bob Ruslrs sixth fielder of the night put the Middies in the lead. Hamilton managed to tie it up at 30 all, but Grimes faked his man and gave the Middies a 32-30 edfxe. and then Bush hooked in a re- bound in the final minute to sew up the game for the Purple. VVilks, however, put in a goal for Hamilton so the game ended 354-32. LIMA CENTRAL The Purple Cagers notched up their twelfth victory by downing the Lima Central Dragons 58-43. The Middies got off to a fast start and collected a lead which the Dragons just couldnt over- take even though they outscored tloe Middies in the second half 29-28. All state Shelby Linville staged a scoring rerformance by Hipping' 15 points through the hoop in the first half, but he sprained his ankle in the start of the second half. The score at the half' time was 30-1-1. LIMA SOUTH The Middies really poured it on a helpless South team by playing one of the fastest games of the season. The Middies raced off to lead 27-12 at the end of the first quarter and they piled up an amazing half-time score of 48-26. Grimes and McChesney both were in top form for the Middies under the basket getting 19 and 16 points respect- ively. The team looked exceptionally good, showing more finesse than in re- cent eames and using its height to com- pletely control the backboards, The final score was 74-51. l Merrill Hatfield Curt Jones 119 PORTSMOUTH The Middies took their eighth straight league victory and their fourteenth straight win of the season when they defeated Portsmouth 76-56. Bob Bush, Middie forward, set a new scorinef record by hitting' 13 buckets and 2 fouls for a total of 28 points. The Purple also shattered the Greater Ohio League record by hitting a total of 76 points. Actually the game was no romp for the Middies until they started to pull away midway in the third period. It was a Case of the best defense beins: the good offense, as both teams hit with uncanny accuracy. SPRINGFIELD The Middletown Middies thrashed the Sp1in,Q'Held Wildcats by a 51-30 score. The Purple ,Qot ofi' to a slow start making' no points whatsoever in the first seven mirutes of play. The boys just couldn't find the range.

The Reserve basketball squad this year was one of the finest Junior Varsity Squads Middletown has ever produced. The Little Middies dropped only three games all season, two to Portsmouth, and one to Springfield, whom they defeated later in the season. All of the boys showed a lot of potentialities as future Middie stars, so we are expecting a fine varsity next year. E Cf.

Fairview's vaunted defensive tactics were no match for the sharp- shootinf: Purple Five, After tying the count at 2-2 at the g'ame's outset, Fairview just couldn't catch up, and shortly before the game ended the Bulldogs were trailing by 25 points. Big George Mcffhesney kept the fans on their feet with his deadly shooting accuracy from the corners in the first half, but the attention shifted to Linville as he started te hit in the last half and racked up 19 points to lead the Middies. 123 The Middies' dream of a third straight state title blew up when a fighting, determined Tittle Miamisburg team accomplished the feat of beat- ing the Mighty Middies. The Purple just couldn't hit the basket, missing 9 shots in the first quar- ter, and the Vikings jumped away to a quick 7-0 lead. Baskets by Bush and Linville closed the gap to Sl-4 at the end of the quarter. The Middies started hitting' in the second stanza and led 18-16 at the half. Both teims were hot in the third period and as the final eight minutes started the score was knotted at 28 all, but a rebound bv Grimes put the Midd'es ahead. It was then that Kondoff swi hed in his only fielder, and Kirby hit again to :Vive the Vikngs a two point advantage. Linville was fouled as the gun went off, but the pressure wa: too great, and Shelby's first shut bounced off the rim. QOh, welllb iiggxfi 9 Vt 5 T. D a y B y D a y . S- . X . I Our Favorite Day Quotations N- ay PAUL DAY STILL PANTING after that hairline, freak- ish decision over Hamilton Public Saturday night, the Middies may figure on coasting in to their fifth straight district championship at Dayton unless they do too much figuring and not enough basketball playing this week. There's no rest ahead for the Middies. SHRUGGING OFF some uncomplimentary tele- grams and ditto phone calls from the county seat, Walker admits Hamilton gave us the game- there's no question about it. . . but I won't give it back. IT'S A FOREGONE CONCLUSION that every opponent will be up for battles against the Middies this season. The Middies can expect to find every team keyed-up to knock off the de- fending state champs. WALT MATHEWS fMiamisburg basketball coachj went back to his work. He's worried and he isn't worried about the game this week. He thinks he can win it. and he knows he can't win it. fNOW, we knowlj SPEAKING OF MISTAKES Coach Harold Mouch walked across the floor at Oxford Friday night shaking his head. Greatest high school team I ever saw, repeated the Hamilton Catho- lic coach. Aw, c'mon, Mouch, we commented. They sure made a lot of mistakes in that game. Mouch shrugged his shoulders, replied: Yeah, but they all went IN. NOT FOR WALKER .... Marty Peters, coach at St. Benedict's fKansasl has a different solution to a lot of basketball coaching woes-he keeps a ball under his feet as he sits on the bench during games. . . I know if I keep my feet on a basketball and start to stand up, I will fall Hat on my face, Marty explains. So I just remain calmly seated. MIDDIE FANS are hoping that 39-point per- formance by Shelby Linville the other night doesn't have the same effect on him as did the n'ght ap ai: st Monore when he hit 20 points for the first time in his high school career. Big Scratch hit only two points the following week at Ports- mouth and just 13 in his next three games. With Hamilton coming up, the Middies are going to need all their talent this week. Quote Paul Schofer fHamilton Coach! Some- one is going to knock Middletown off, maybe this week, maybe early in the tournament. And it's a safe bet and guess that it won't be another undefeated team, for it's the easy ones that often are the most dangerous. MIAMISBURG, which gained the Saturday afternoon finals Tuesday night, did a little look- ing ahead to SBt11rd8y's battle with the Middies. What will the Middies be up against at Dayton? UPSETS MAY OCCUR, of course, but the tournament this year stacked up as strictly a battle between Middletown, Hamilton, and Ham- ilton Catholic, Hamilton played a great game aginst the de- fending champs last night. Had the Big Blue won, Middletown fans would have had no excuses. But Lady Luck, who must have learned to like sitting on the bench with Middletown's squad last season, paid a welcome return visit last night. ANSWER TO QUERY: The Middies have not lost a game in tournament play by more than two points since 1935 when they dropped a 29-21 decision to Hughes at Cincinnati. COACH PAUL WALKER stood in the boiler room beneath the fairgrounds coliseum, staring at a dirty whitewashed wall. He was coatless, that vary-hued good luck tie of last year's tournament play pulled loose. Walker had walked through the tomb-like dressing room, trying to slap a little consoling encouragement on the backs of his clear-eyed players. He was in the boiler room when personable young Waldo Mathews, in his first year of basketball coaching at Miamisburg, walked in. The Middie coach stuck out his hand quickly, said simply: Con- gratulations, You beat us, Walker stated in a Hat tone. Your boys played a great game. You had the best team out there this afternoon. You deserved to win. And then young Walt Mathews made a wonder- fully amazing statement: I'm sorry you had to lose. This was our big game. We beat a team that normally is much superior to ours. I think Middletown would have gone further in the tournament than we can now with the responsi- bility ours. I've admired your coaching, honestly, I'm sorry you didn't win-but I'm tickled to death we did at the same time. OF THE MIDDIES, George McChesney had the word that hit the nail on the head as far as the Middies were concerned. In a ball game, somebody wins, somebody loses. We lost. SO LONG JOHNNlE The bronze statue of a former Ohio State University basketball player, John Miner, has occupied a prominent position along- side other trophies in our lobby three years out of the past four. His playing days at O S U were 1923, 1924, 1925, being captain of the '25 team. In spite of his small stature, as we think of basketball players, Johnnie was an outstanding athlete, and the silent figure that stands guard in the school that wins the state championship is a reminder of the value of inter-scholastic athletics. Aside from his ability as a player, he was an outstanding young man on the college campus. Modesty, high ideals, scholarship, clean living, good sportsmanship, a good team-man, a man among men-those were traits that endeared him to Ohio State students and alumni and ultimately led to the statue that travels annually to the 205188 of the state champions in basket- a . If Johnnie were standing in our lobby in person, he would have seen our trophy case become full to overflowing with tro- phies won by our athletes. He would have heard the remarks made as students and visitors crowded about the cases. Incidents about the game that brought this trophy, heroes of the game that brought another, tears and smiles connected with another- these are the remarks he would have heard as hundreds of boys and girls pass each day. Every trophy was won by boys who were playing the game squarely and honor- ably. The names of many of these boys will be remembered for years for their playing, and the list will grow each year. Yes, these have been great years and in- terest in our games has risen to unexpected heights. The best evidence of this is that our friends in every walk of life will stand in line for hours for the chance of a ticket to see the boys in action. This is a great tribute to the teams and has been a real inspiration to all who have shared in various ways. However, all good things come to an en l sooner or later. Our teams have been marked teams since the first champion- ship. A remarkable record has been made in spite of the keenest competition. Every team we played wanted to defeat the champs and a few did. The boys have been playing under a tension that rides the championship. An undefeated season only adds to the pressure, and it makes the record all the more remarkable. And so, it is very understandable that a team playing inspired ball might defeat us if our boys were Hoff. This is exactly what has happened this year. No one feels as badly as the boys themselves. It just Wasn't their day. To them, we say Congratulations, you have had a grand season, and we are proud of you. Your names will be added to that growing list of basketball greats who have made Middletown the basketball cap- itol of Ohio. Johnnie will be leaving in a few weeks to take his position in another high school lobby. It has been a rare privilege to have had him as our guest and inspiration in this grand sport for three years. We know the next school will be as proud as we have been. And. of course, we expect him to return some day. D. R. Baker ls! lfow: Dan Kiss, Bruce Cleveland, Lowell Darrel, Bob Asher, Adrian Waugh.

Coach Paul Walker's 1947 baseball team had a tough season this year, not only lighting their opponents but Mother Nature as well Their record of 3 wins and 2 losses isn't too bad considering that they were rained out of five games on their regular schedule. The Middies won their first tournament game from Stivers and 'then dropped their second contest to Dayton Kiser 1-0. Left-fielder, Chai Brewer, led the Middie hitters and Bob Asher, veteran Middie southpaw, was tops in the pitching department.

H. S. The pentathalon, which is a group of five events: 100 yard dash 440 yard run broad jump high jump shot put is participated in by all those out for track. Three hours a week are set aside for the pentathalon, the trophy of which has become one of the most coveted awards of the school. The pentathalon provides every member of the squad with a chance to leave his name in the track records of M. H. S. A trackster who crosses the finish line a step behind the leaders in a dash or who tosses the shot a few feet shorter than a teammate in qualifying trials for a coming meet can still rack up his points to earn the runner-up trophy. 128 TRACK.

Our 1947 Middie track team can indeed take its place along side of our other fine school teams. After losing their opening meet the thinclads bore down and won their next five. They defeated Fairmont, Franklin, Oakwood, Dayton Roosevelt, and Hamilton. Several new records were set by the Middies this year as follows: Joe Newland in the 220 yard dash, Eddie Forkner in the discus, Tom Hensey in the shot, Bob Harris in the half mile, Bill Jones in the 100 yard dash. Since out of the 75 boys on the track team only a few could compete in each meet, there is also a Pentathalon contest consisting of five different events in which the boys compete against their own record and against each other, the winner receiving a trophy. This year's winners were Ted Sickle and Dale Porter. 129 Joann Whitley, Joan Popp, Nancy Cox, Jolene Laut, Pat Gade. Coach Harold Mason's tennis team can also join the ranks of Middle- town's winning athletic teams. The Middies had the excellent record of 5 wins and only 2 losses. The Middie racket team defeated Dayton Fair- mont, Miamisburg, Ham- ilton, Fairview and Dayton Stivers while los- ing only to Fairview in a return match and Oak- wood. TENNIS.. Middletown's only girl athletic team went through a fine season under the direction of Christine Rish. The girls won 7 matches and lost only 1 in a close contest with Fairmont. Their victories were: two wins over Oakwood, Hamilton, and Fairview, with one win over Fairmont. oward Mankcr, Bill Neff, Carl Lansaw, AI Withrow. Dick Svhirni. Dick Lyons, Perry Grier. 130 GOLF.

We of the advertising staff of the Middletown Optimist are the very important cogs in the machinery which makes financially possible the year book which is something just taken for granted by most of the students .... In these modern times it pays to advertise, whether it be a business firm. industrv, retail store, or motion pictureg all of which are better known to the general public through advertising .... We are the ones who canvass the city from end to end, per- suading, cajoling, talking and sometimes even threaten- ing, so that all our advertisers are satisfied. And we have secured some pictures to lure our readers .... Not many people look over the back part of the book. We wish they would. After all, haven't we spent the best years of our lives to make the thirds, the quarters and the half pages come out even? .... We have burned midnight oil, spent thousands of nickels on phone calls, pasted hundreds of stamps on letters, and worn out countless pairs of shoes in our travels to make this year's advertising section better, but the contracts and good friends we made were well worth all the effort on our part. :llIllllllIllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I 5 I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I E1 I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I n 748 132 .

Take the case of King Solo- mon, Cupid must have used a machine gun on him. Countless numbers of would- be-bachelors have stopped, looked, and then listened. With all the henpecked husbands in the United States matri- mony is no longer a word but a sentence. When you get right down and think about it, marriage is like a three act play: Act one, Oh boyg Act two, obey: Act three, Oh! baby. You can always tell a married couple. The woman is wearing rings, and the man is wearing a worried look and last year's clothes. There are many kinds of spouses. There is the kind that worships her husband. She gives him burnt offerings for every meal. When she has company for dinner, they always present her a new carving set, three chisels and a mallet. Then there are the ones who give their husbands a latch-key, so he can show his independence. Of course, it doesn't fit the lock. Next is the kind that gets the lazy, worthless, bad tempered, shiftless type of husband, and she's always crabbing about it. Well after all, no man is perfect. So think twice, fellows, before you pawn your watch to buy the ring, 'cause the balls above a pawnshop mean 2 to 1 you don't get it back, and a woman does not give odds.

AH! SWEET SPRING By Mark Scheibert It was Spring, the time of year when the young man's fancy lightly turns to what the young lady has been thinking about all winter. Since I met my new girl I can't eat, sleep, or drink, the main reason being that I'm broke. 0f course she didn't come right out and say that she loved me. I had to squeeze it out of her. There I was sitting on the couch with the girl of my dreams, thoughts of love running down the beaten path of my one track mind. I smiled, she smiled, and I scooted closer, she smiled, I smiled, and she scooted closer, we both smiled and then changed sides. I was just reaching to eliminate the invention of Thomas Alva Edison when she said, Don't turn out the lights, don't you know that love is blind? And I retorted, Yes, but your father isn't in love. Just then her father came running into the room and said in a belligerent tone, I'll teach you to make love to my daughter, and I replied, I wish you would, I'm not making any head- way. Seeing that his disposition was nothing to be toyed with, I decided to take his correspondence course in love making, and made a hasty departure, aided by the propulsion of a flying foot. .9 .9 .9 THE My parents told ,me not to smoke: I don t.

Yes, we're still sane and sound. fit says here in fine print!J In case you're wondering what all the celebration is about, M. H. S, is twenty-five years old this year. Yes siree! 1947 and 1948 mark the Silver Anniver- sary of this present building known as Middle- town High School-Home of the Famous Magic Middies. This structure was first occupied by the Class of 1924 in September, 1923. Construc- tion, which was started in 1920, was finally completed although the contractor became bankrupt as a result of a period of inflation which then covered the nation. For example, the cost of construction increased 12596, and Middletown was no exception. fHistory Re- peats Itself! If you don't believe it, take a look at present prices!! At the time of completion this building was one of the most modern in the U. S, fand still is, for that matterl. Even at the present time educators from various sections of the country have established Middletown High as a model structure on which to base plans for their own school development. Some very interesting sidelights have been discovered that are little-known facts. In the first place, this block on which the building is erected was formerly a graveyard. fYe g0dS! Now we realize it wasn't Miss Weinberger we've heard screaming every night as we worked on the Optimist, but the shades of former residents who view with alarm the activities of the present lost generation! Then, too, above the auditorium ceiling and between the roof is an extensive air space high enough to permit a person to stand upright. We've heard it's a storage space for all the happy memories, laughs, comments, criticisms, and small events connected with past pro- ductions performed on the M, H. S. stage. If only this chamber could talk! The ventila- tion system beneath the auditorium contains large airducts of tremendous size through which a man can walk. fWe don't recommend such action.J Whatever the reason for such spacious cavities, outside of the fact that it's the ventilation system, we'll leave to your imagination. For those who are interested in figures, fand we do mean figures-not the kind which just popped into your mindb, The largest enroll- ment at any time was 1341 in 1940-41, and the smallest 919 in 1930-31. Likewise, the largest class to graduate was 407 in 1941, and the smallest 118 in 1924. fNow you can let your mind wander back to the figures which first caused your eyes to light up.J Whatever the next 25 years will bring re- mains to be seen, but it will indeed be difficult for future students to surpass the high scho- lastic standards and the brilliant records left in athletics, dramatics and music, as well as in other activities during the past quarter- century. 212 . . . .

And strangely enough practically all of them have had a humble beginning. Most of them started with very little capital and perhaps one or two employees in some office, loft, shed, or basement. But behind each venture was the unshakeable faith of a man in the product he was making: And as the years rolled on, these small companies grew and grew like mighty oaks. As the oak weathers the elements and grows stronger because of them 7 so these companies weathered the storms of panic and depression that beset them and emerged stronger and more stable than before. The Sore Paper Company is one of these typical American enterprises . . . with a proud record of 06 years of continuous growth and accomplishment. From one small mill in 1852 The Sore Paper Company has grrown to its present size with six paper machines in operation in Middletown, producing 80,000 tons of quality paper annually and with a pulp mill in British Columbia, the production of which is now at the rate of 255,000 tons annually and by .lune will be -1V.000 tons. lt has a reputation of being a good place at which to work dv- a place where ideas and accomplishment are en- couraged and rewarded f- a place where a man may e'row -f - a corporation with a lone, proud record behind it and a bright future before it. This same bright future stretches out before all the members of the eraduatine class, That each one of you may have happiness and success in whatever you undertake is the sincere wish of ' ' 215 Elgin Wcfches 'For Grcducdion ii :ggfgigf ..-.,,, A .:q::'-:1:::3::::::. ,, 1':.-mziiiiiiifze2,IN!:2EsEs2iS5SsS5E5EsEsEz:. .1 f:a:s:s:5:1:3:5:e: s:5:5:e:5se:a 'Sq fffivg -2-f'f:2:1:e:555g5gzg2g55, Y G 1555- X .

There is a young Hampton named Nan, Who is always saying, I can, She's a cute little gal, And is really a pal, And her homework is done spic and span There is a young cowboy named Tex, You never know what he'll do nex'. He's head of Youth Forum, And tries not to bore 'em, And he advocates freedom for Czechs. There is a young Hoffman named Lyd, Who's a very likeable kid, She isn't a drip, She's got lots of zip, And many good things she has did. There is a swell fellow named Jim, And you get your annual through him, He put in his share Of the wear and the tear, 'Till he just about wore himself thin. iQ With the Compliments of SCHlFF'S SHOE STORE Always Better Shoes For Less 1124 CENTRAL AVENUE MIDDLETOWN, OHIO .i..Q,t ARMBRUSTERS FLORAL SHOP Flowers For Any Occasion Floral Arrangements and Quality Pol' Plants 360I GRAND AVENUE PHONE 2-3773 HDAFFYNITIONSH rl'o11fiNurrI from Page Jfltij POLLS: Places where you stand in line to decide who will spend your money.
