We feel alone, we experience 'The feeling ThaT whaTever we do from now on resTs in our hands. We have passed The sfages in which life is moulded, The sTages during which we could be Turned like marioneTTes, To The righT or The lefT, by The hand of an advisor or well meaning Though off Times erring friend. When musing on companions who followed oTher paThs, who have gone Their way as we have gone ours, we feel doubly alone.

The Typical American is honesT and sincere. l-le is above all courageous, unafraid, daring To do The Things he knows To be righf. A Typical American will noT fail himself, his counfry, his socieTy. He will live his life The fullesT possible and will repay double his debf To socieTy. Are you a Typical American? Are you giving To socieTy as much as she has given you? Perhaps you do noT realize ThaT socieTy guarded you as you sTumbled and hesiTaTed while formulafing your course over The paThs of life, iusT as she guarded your forefafhers as They Traveled To This far corner of The earTh To seT up This naTion ThaT you mighT have a life of beauTy, freedom, and culTure.

J, BROWN, President BOARD OF EDUCATION To our Board of Education we owe unpayable debts. They are responsible for the successful administering of the taxpayers money which has resulted in the un- approachable high standards of Montpelier schools. It is through their efforts that we are able to step into the world of reality with a training recognized everywhere as that of the highest attainable. Respected by all Montpelier, these five local merchants have given their time and effort to the building up of a school, representative of truly fine ideals. We know of only one way of paying these illimitable debts, That is by striving to the best of our ability to reach the top and set the true example expected of all Montpelier graduates. The Board consists of A. J. Brown, President, Perry Faulkner, VicefPresidentg Ralph Boone, W. C. Tedrow, and Victor Lockhart. We, the Class of 1932, in recognition of their many favors and kindnesses and the splendid consideration for our best inf terest extend our thanks to the Board of Education. 12 PERRY FAULKNER VICTOR LOOKI-IART W.

MOFFITT Mr. Mofhtt His sagacity and accurate decision have Won conlidence on every side, and as our Superintendent, he readily adapts himself to any situation, whether advising a student in a personal interview or addressing a group of parents. Mr. Moihtt has always used his influence to promote beneficial activities, believing that real education comes not simply from our systematic training in school, but also through mutual association and cofoperation as well as observation and discussion of the events of the world. The skillful organization of our school, which has achieved recognition by State and National educational authorities, can be largely attributed to his zealous adherence to his hopes and aims and to those principles that are unchanged by time. These determine the intrinsic quality and high moral standard of any institution. NameHSupt. H. S. Moihtt. Subject-Physics. Honie-Mt. Vernon, Qhio.

V CLASSICAL COURSE The classical course is recom' mended as ideal for college preparation, as it includes - , those subjects with which one should be familiar, whether he L A continues his systematic educaf ' ' tion, enters directly into a vo' cational field or takes his place as a true citizen of our great country, for it offers the culf ture that blends with real livf ing. English is essential in every walk of life, and a part of each years work in every course. History, both European and American, on which todays' great national and internationf al problems depend for under' standing and solution, is stud' ied in thelater three years. A year's classes in American Democracy, in which current social and economic difficulties ' are brought before the student and discussed by him, gives the graduate a broad understand' ing of what he has to face and helps establish the convictions. Mathematics, the foundation of many vocations is studied by a student of this course in the form of Algebra, in the first year and Plane Geometry in the second. Not necessary, but advisable to those who follow the scientific trend of the course is the choice of higher Algebra and Solid Geometry in the third year. In the nrst year, General Science is a designated part of the work but a Junior may choose Chemistry to be followed by Physics when he is a Senior, in preference to the two years of French offered them. If he desires and does not fear the difficulty of extra work, he may take both the science and the language. Other electives may be studied as special work, if one is particularly interested in them. The chief difference of the classical course as compared to others is the four year study of Latin. The first year, based on a good understanding of English fundamentals, takes up Latin grammar and is followed the next year by translating Caesar's account of the Gallic wars. The junior Latin Student turns to the famous Roman Orator, Cicero, and finds keen enjoyment in his egotistical and satirical writings. Finally real pleasure is found in translating the L'Aeneid, famous epic of the illustrious poet Virgil, who ably interrupted human nature. 1-English, 2-French, 3-Latin. , -Ina McDaniel. -Alma Tingle. 20 SCIENCE COURSE To live to the fullest, so that we get the most out of life is ' everyone's aim in this modern world. But to live on the high' est scale we must have some idea of recent problems, in the scientific, economic, and social lields of life. Because these things are brought out most in the science course it is probably the most practical of all the courses off fered in the high school cur' riculum. The Scienses, General Scif ence, Physics and Chemistry are compulsory. The real aim of education is to prepare us for living and certainly this is accomplished by these studies. General Science is an introducf tion into the more specific sci' ences. Some of the things it deals with are our surroundf ings and their effect on our life, sanitation, and ventilation. f Chemistry is a study of the elements or the materials in our earth. with this We study 1-Culinary Arts, 2fPhysics, 3--Chemistry. the work of the modern chemist in industry. Physics, a study of matter and energy, acquaints us with heat, sound, light, electricity, magnetism, and mechanics. Although Biology is an elective most pupils choose it realizing the value of the study of plants and animals. Four years of English is required with which anyone should have a fairly good working knowledge of this subject. A detailed study of mathematics is unnecessary for the average position in business. For this reason only one and onefhalf years of algebra and half a year of geometry are essential. History repeats itself and thus by studying the experience of people in the past we may learn of modern questions. ln three years of history we should acquire some comprehension of ancient nations and their governments. A person interested in science usually neglects foreign languages but two years of Latin complete this course. Mastery of all these subjects should equip one with suflicient knowledge to make good in college or if we are not fortunate enough to enter some such instituf tion, we should be capable of filling all the obligations of a good citizen. -Adele Pratt. -Doris Spake, 21 t o o COMMERCIAL One hundred-even fifty- years ago Commercial Courses were almost unheard of. Let' ters were penned instead of typed, Clerks on high stools added long columns of figures that are now added faster than light travels on an adding ma' chine. When one wanted a letter written he got his feather pen and ink horn and wrote it. That even was much easier than dictating it to a person who wrote outlines that could' n't be read back. Even these note takers were few and very expensive because their knowl' edge was considered almost superfhuman. Now nearly every city has its Commercial College and Commercial High School. Thousands of stenogf raphers, secretaries, typists, and accountants are graduated every year. And even as early as Caesar a system of shortf hand was known. 1-HiSf0fY, 2-0506, 5-TYPiHg- So numerous and varied are the subjects studied by a Commercial student that at the completion of his course he or she should be fairly well equipped to forge ahead in life. Four years of English and literature as in all the other courses, are compulsory. None of us mind that though with Miss Burns at the desk for three of them, always willing and ready to help. So important is that subject that we take a semester of Business English and Letter Writing in addition to the above. Commercial people must be good citizens the same as others so we take Civics. Along this line too are Geography, General Science, and for girls Sewing and Cook' ing. We benefit from the mistakes made by others so we study General History, American History, and Problems in American Democracy. We all must count, hence we master Algebra and Business Arithmetic. I say master because Coach Swanson and Mr. Shaeffer are the instructors. Commercial students are preparing to enter the business world so we must have Bookkeeping, two years of each Short' hand and Typing, Salesmanship, Commercial Law, and Economics. The requirements to pass this course are to be able to take unfamiliar' material for five minutes in shorthand dictation at one hundred words per minute and to transcribe it with a ninetyffive percent accuracy and to type unfamiliar material for five minutes at forty words per minute both of which are carefully registered by Mr. Hosler, the instructor. -Lois Weber. 22 SMITH-HUGHES COURSE The SmithfHughs Course has been introduced into high schools only within the last quarter of a century. It is a comparatively new subject and has been worked out in a manner to give the boy who plans to live on the farm, an education which will make him better fitted to meet his busif ness and social problems. The main subject of this course is Vocational Agriculf ture. There are four years of this, beside carrying a projf ect each year. The subjects of the four years are Crops and Horticulture, Animal Husf bandry, Soils and Agricultural Engineering. These studies cover a wide variety of subjects and cannot help but be of inf terest to a boy who is working for the betterment of Agriculf. ture. English is another of the major studies of this course. Four years of this subject be' ing required, which gives the 1-Modern Heating, 2-Manual Training, 3fAgriculture. student the essentials of correct English as well as a knowledge of English and American authors. Still another of the major studies is Science which includes General Science, Biology, Chemistry and Physics. The purpose of these studies is to give the student a general knowledge of the makefup of matter, the relation of plants and animals to one another, and the general principles of the relationship between matter and energy. The minor subjects of study are Algebra, Farm Shop, General History, and American History. These subjects aid the student in understanding modern invenf tions and also gives a background on which to base his judgment of future deeds. This course has been designed to equalize the conditions on the farm with those of the city by teaching the youth of the country better methods of farming. We realize, that the old must give place to the new, regardless of the occupaf tion, and thus a new training in this field is necessary. -Earl Osborn. 23 E Y GENERAL COURSE High School offers preparaf tion for many lines of work and the choice of the course to be followed throughout the four years has a lasting effect on the vocation followed later. However, there are many persons who are not particular' ly' interested in a specialized course, but prefer acquiring the broadest education pos' sible, so they may be quite generally informed. Possibly the most suitable course for this group is that which offers a wide variety of subjects. In this, as in any High School curriculum, English is considered most important and is included in each years' work. It concerns grammar, construcf tion, and Literature. Community Civics and In- dustrial Geography are studied in the first year but the latter three offer European and American History. This maf terial begins with the early 1-Algebra, 2-Hi5t0fY, 3mLibfafY- stone age and minutely depicts all events that have influenced time and brought about our present condition of prof gressiveness and intellectuality. Both the logical thinking and the mathematical understanding developed by a years studentship in Algebra, a Freshman subject, are important in the more ad' vanced work of high school and in future occupations. In the Sophomore year, Plane Geometry and Arithmetic are offered and the pupil may make his own choice. The study of Physics is taken up in the Senior year, and though it is advisable to choose Chemistry when a Junior, it is not required. The girl who chooses the General Course is naturally interested in the Domesf tic Science it offers. As a beginner she studies Elementary clothing, which extends a splendid opportunity for learning, by practical experience, a few of the things she may need to do. As a Sophomore, she has classes in Elementary Cooking, and by working in a wellfequipped kitchen, under the direction of a capable instructor, she finds the time well used. Often times one who first enters high school is quite uncertain as to what might interest him most and by the time he has advanced to the the third year he has more dennite ideas. It is then that the general student is permitted to more speciff ically choose his work. -Alfred Bailey. 24 a SENIORS FLlGl-IT, man's Ias+ and grealesr conquest and Jrhe modern air liner, a greal mefal loird of mechanical perfeciion make slrriking conirasfs wi+l'1 ine so-called flying macl'1ine of a cenI'ury ago, Jrhe coach and four.

ST. JOE RIVER SCENE The St. Joe river is one of the nu' merous beauties of note around Montpe' lier, which forms for the fair city and its country a perfect setting. We view this river in the evening, when the lowering sun casts its rays over a slightly rippled stream. Then we see it in the winter when it provides for all ice skaters, a natuf ral playground. We seem to see in this river with its current leading to various places its small meandering tributaries, a picture of high school seniors going from place to place in their after schoolfdays. SENIOR CLASS HISTORY Time, like a river, flows on forever, time that speeds our lives along. We who have worked together, planned together and hoped together are now to part, going our different ways. Twelve years have passed, giving us happy memories, priceless friendships, and worthwhile training. In looking back we vision those first school days when we bravely entered our classrooms, proud as young troopers. It was all very new then but we lost no time in asking questions and looking about as we solved this great problem of beginning our education. Those first four years were filled with moments of rollickf ing laughter and also childish quarrels. But then we seemed to take a great step, and we became fifth graders, rather serious with our promotion to the junior High, and giving up our recesses for more useful occupations. We were now among the upper classmen and as years passed we took their places, until we Hnally found ourselves facing Eighth Grade Commencement, eager to advance in the greater field of High School. Helen Gump M. H. S. welcomed us in 1928 and though we were very slow to adapt our' selves to the new situations they were very patient with us, we, who had come from the Public School were joined by a larger number from the country district chools, and have been real companions in these four years of High School. We have been proud of the distinction various members have won in the fields of their interest. Athletics won the devoted attention of several, even in the first year and in the second, we saw Thomas Grimes, Charles Arehart, Kenneth Miller, Dolan Custer, Darwin Dickerhoff and Keith Williams taking their places in both football and bas' ketball, with an enthusiasm and zeal that prove their value. Also as sophomores Wava Yost, Alma Tingle, and Richard Changnon turned their attention to debating and found it valuable training. Now our thoughts fall on more recent events, those of our Junior year. Every student found his tasks and none were without some interest. Especially notable was the part our classmates held in the Literary Contest. Richard Changnon, Helen Gump and Earl Osborn were members of the debating team. Evelyn Lewis revealed her remarkable and well developed musical talent in her piano solo. Virginia Cook gave a reading and her genius wasnever before more appreciated. Scholastic honors were claimed by Alma Tingle and John Buntain. We also offered our first class play, The Hoodoo to a very appreciative audience. But the most important accomplish' ment of the year, and that which required cofoperation and planning was the Junior' Senior Banquet at which we were proud to receive the Seniors as our guests. The Spanish Court, created in our gym, was the scene of a delightful evening together eating and dancing. Our Senior year has been the most complete of all. Nine Seniors fon basketball teams, eleven in football and several in both track and tennis. Our Annual Board plays were favorably received. Fred Moflitt and Earl Osborn brought honor to our school by winning scholastic distinction. Bethel Brannan, Lois Weber, Carma Heller, Wava Yost, and Mildred Wisman very capably assisted in winning the Commercial Contest. Publication of the Mirror of '32 has been the chief project of the year and we hope that our ability and efforts are well appreciated. Commencement Week Culminates the twelve years and though we are anxious to End our places in this busy world, our thoughts go back to our long association and cofoperation and we leave M. H. S. and the Class of '32 with regret. -Helen Gump. A 42 Alma Tingle Wava 'Yost Lois Weber Ottilie Vo-nalt HONOR STUDENTS The young man or woman of today stepping out into a universe of seemingly endless strife and contest, quite often has the feeling that he or she is being merciless' ly flung into the mouth of a greedy world which stands eagerly awaiting the brave adventurer. Truly has it been said that this is an age of specialization. With spef cialization has come keen competition and even in a modern world, in an age of science, nature enforces her time worn law-the survival of the fittest. The unfit, the weak, the lazy are shunned by all men. Those who will work and help their neighf bors, be their deeds great or small, are recognized as successes by their fellows and win a place in life. It is inevitable, however, that those who accomplish the greatest deeds, those who perform most nearly perfect should be acknowledged and recognized with honors by their comrades. Two hundred years ago, in an age we know today as the Washington era, young men graduated from educational institutions much as we do today. They were confronted with a world of opportunity. An undeveloped country. An unexplored wonderland of broad rolling plains, low fertile valleys, majestic rivers, colossal snow' capped mountain ranges. Untold of opportunities. Who, then, was it that grasped those golden chances? Was it the piker? The dreamer? We all know the answer. Our brief history is alvie with names of the great. Those who have become famous because of their fortitude, their bravery, their ability. Today, after two hundred years since the birth of the man whose life has left an undying imprint on every American, that past seems to be in close relationship with the present. A present so far removed that it might be a fantastic conception of life on another planet. What contrast! And yet, when we brought to think deeply of it, it is not so far removed. Our ' ways seem to cross. As we move rapidly onward the hazy mists of a former civilization appear to cross our path. The look of conquest is written on the faces of those who drive the covered Wagons. In their eyes is the glint of the anticipation of greater victories. As we watch the modern man we see in his face the look of conquest and in the eyes of science we see the spark of future hopes. Those of the Seniors who have worked diligently and brought honor to their class must of necessity be accorded the honors due them. Thus, we dedicate to them this page. -Fred Moffitt.

POST GRADUATE Education may be considered one of the greatest achievements of life, but actually achieving it is a problem of life. We do not finish it with High School, nor even with college but rather it should be carried on in broader fields of experience and personal initiative. Many, who have graduated from High School, are undetermined as to what type of work they prefer. If they were given a chance to think and make experif ments along different lines, they would probably be more satisfied with Whatever they choose for their life work. After our course in High School we sometimes find that we have missed some subject of vital importance to us, if we are to continue our schooling in the higher institutions of learning. If we find this to be the case, we are able to come back to High School in Post Graduate courses and receive this training without the great cost of attending college. Even if we do not wish or are unable to continue our education further by attending college, we may wish to take up commercial work, as a specialized subject. From the time we start high school work to the time of graduation our am' bitions often change and we wish to vary our courses. Often this is impossible but from the Post Graduate courses we may choose subjects in any line of work. Com' mercial and Scientiic work are the most popular of the courses. Five students from last years graduating class, realizing their insufficient educaf tion, enrolled in the Post Graduate course in our school this year. Most of them intend to enter college and are trying to prepare themselves for this important step in their life. - V -Blanche Stahl. 44 1 -41'- FAREWELL At last we have come to the stepping off place, To the place where we start o nour wayg Where we know in truth, if we rise or fall Or remain the same each day. We cannot depart from the things we love Without a word of praise, So we sing with joy, as we say farewell To the home of our high school days. Through the short sure paths of her darkened halls Our calls shall ring no more, But others shall come to take our place As we leave through the time worn door. Now, as we leave for the higher realms, We wish, that we might take A living menfry of gladsome times, Cur school has helped us make. f We must remember through paths of time, The things our school has done And the words of thought placed in our minds, That our goal might be won. As now in sorrow we say goodfhy With our hearts so full of woe, May we not-forget our friends or school As o'er life's path we go. But cling to her teachings of truth and right As from her ways we part, But we'll remember all through life T'was here we gained our start. H-Richard Freleigh ' 45 CLASS PROPHECY Stranded! I'm left behind! Terrified and surprised I stood on the small platform and watched the disappearing train. What a feeling! To be left all alone in a little out of the way town in England, just be' cause I had been elected to get the sandwiches with only a tenfminute stop. I had been so sure I could make it, too. I was informed that the next train headed for our destination would be a sixfhour wait for me. I left more calm now for I would have no trouble reaching my friends. I decided to take a walk, and finding a path I followed its many winding turns for sometime. It was a mysterious little path that seemed to draw me on. There were no forks in it and it seemed like me, alone. After about an hour I was suddenly astonished to find before me a tall old tower covered with some sort of flowering vines. Wondering I entered a door and looked around. I followed a Murl Beck corridor leading to a narrow stairway and began to climb. It wound around and around until, dizzily I thought I should never reach the top. What is this? A door! It's marked 'The Future' but it is locked. What shall I do now? Oh, an inscription on the knob, 'There is no key to the Future, it is forever locked. How disappoint' ing! What is that noise. I've won said a victorious voice. . A door across the corridor burst open and a queer old man rushed out! Seeing me, he stopped abruptly. What's the matter? I asked. I won! All my life I've worked on it and now it works. I can prove it. Come! It was what appeared to be a phonograph, but he inf formed me that it was on the order of a selffmaking record machine, only that it recorded events of a future date. I could hardly be expected to believe this but when he asked me what I wanted particularly to know of the future and I said All about the Class of 1932 of Old M. H. S. He started something and this is what I immediately began to hear: How many nice people there are in the World! -Marvel Bratton thought, so she writes about them. A famous author, you see.

D avid Opdyke JUNIOR CLASS HISTORY ' The chief interest in a class history lies in the fact that it is yet unfinished, but we hope that when our history is completed the words 'well done may be written at its close. Three years ago a group of ninetyffive students entered the corridors of M. H. S. with the ambition to pursue the straight and narrow path which would lead us to the crossing of the way where we would leave high school and venture upon life's difficult highway. When we reached the first milestone we were sorry to discover that seventeen of our number had somewhere along the road lost their bearing and had either strayed from the path or turned at some corner and were no longer to continue with us. But the remaining seventyfeight earnestly began the second mile in the quadf rennial pursuit of knowledge, endeavoring to keep to the main highway, and with the name of Sophomores attached to us we assumed much additional dignity. We found this second mile of our i'journey rougher and harder to travel, but with our previous experience and the aid of our capable officers and excellent guide, Mr. Kingsmore, sixtyfeight of the former seventyfeight succeeded in over' coming all difficulties and tired and worn but more than ever determined, reached the post which marked the end of the second mile. Happy with the thought that we had successfully crossed the halfway mark of the journey we energetically began the third mile which we found still more difficult than the previous two. We soon discovered that to make this Junior mile a success we would all have to work hard, assuming many more responsibilities, with the aid and encouragment of Mr. Faben, our advisor. All along the' way we have been duly represented in all athletics and activities and have taken an active part in many social functions. Toward the close of the Junior mile on February 6, we assisted in making the annual Junior Senior Prom a delightful occasion and later we sponsored the Junior Senior Banquet in honor of those travelers who were in view of the sign marking the close of their last mile. The funds to make these two outstanding events a sucf cess were secured by giving a play called Clarence , by sponsoring a Thanksgiving raffle, a bakesale, and movie. Yet, one more mile remains to be conquered before we come to the crossing of the ways and must, like the many travelers preceeding us, leavethis happy high school road and venture out to face and conquer the many difficulties of that high' way called life. We sincerely hope that all of our present number of sixtyffour will still be together when we reach that last milestone which means the parting of our ways. -Marvel Bohner. 52 Fivst Row-Ruth Barnhart, Raymond Bass, Dorothy Bavin, Glen Rose Beckman, Chester Bible Second R0wfLois Bible, Clarence Blodgett, Glen Bohner, Marvel Bohner.

Can I relate the travels through life of so many young men and women, all fighting for the same goal, Success? Therefore, if you End nothing herein do not judge me harshly for all are not given like talents! Now I shall begin their story-my story. Struggling-to travel the dusty and the rutted highway of life, uncertain of foot, we attempted to proceed, until two years ago. We, onefhundred and five, reached the apparent though temporary security of M. H. S. Awed by the wide path, so steep, leading ever upward to the heights of success, we gazed. Lingered? Never! Eager and ambitious we started immediately upward. Along this highway there are many temptations to turn off and go in differ' ent directions or to merely drop by the wayside. Unfortunately some of our fellowf travelers yielded to these temptations and still others were forced by unfavorable circumstances to bid us farewell. At the beginning of the second year there still remained ninetyfone of our band of travelers. Now, at the close of that year, we numbered eightyfsix, and it is our sincere hope that eightyfsix we shall remain when we reach the triumphal end of our journey. .l Along our highway there are troublesg yes, but along this same way are found many splendid and worth while things, more valuable than gold. They are the inf fluences of school life, the little pathways crossing the highway, which leave their subtle influence on the unsuspecting traveler. One of the most outstanding of these, is work. Each day we are learning the value of labor in gaining our desires, and each day we are taking more pleasure in our tasks. Some of the important influences in school life are the activities of various clubs and organizations. We have found them inspiring and instructive. Into these ac' tivities we have put our time and our efforts, and from them we have accordingly derived much pleasure and benefit. Our members have entered into the different branches of athletics with en' thusiasm, and we are proud of the progress that we have made. Our social life consists of an annual class party and a mixer. Cur journey is now half over. We have learned that it requires hard work and perserverance. But this struggle is not without its reward. We are ever drawf ing nearer to our goal. That goal is knowledge and success. It is a prize which we shall keep forever-one which cannot be taken from us. It is our hope to reach this goal in two more years. Meanwhile, we shall aim high and strive for success. -Ardis Stine. 56 First Row-Richard Allen, Lenora Bailey, Robert Bailey, Esther Barnhart, Jeanette Bauer, Lillian Bauer.

In those colonial times the rudiments of education consisted of Readin', Ritin,' and Rithmetic and when one became wellfversed in these simple subjects they were wellffitted to take their respective places in such various fields as they should feel inclined. Having passed through eight years of elementary work we also are now pref pared to select and pursue some specified course. Widefeyed and openfminded we have been confronted with the weighty problem of selecting that course for which we feel that we are best talented. Some have chosen the business world, others have selected the scientific and the literary. But regardless of our decision, we are assured that Montpelier High School will Ht us in such a manner, as that we may compete and succeed, and rise above the masses. The new has replaced the old. Ways have crossed and recrossed many times in the history of our school. For in truth it may be compared to a play, in which the lesser climaxes and events are working gradually toward the grand climax, after which the curtain drops quickly. The first important crossing of the ways occurred when we entered the first grade. Since then we have made two other major crossings-one when we entered Junior High, and the other when we entered High School, each crossing gaining in importance. With three, long, tedious years before usg spiced with socialities, athletics, draf matics and many other supplementary delightful activities, we look forward in anticif pation to that day when we shall receive, as a just reward of our efforts, that well earned diploma. And in this little drama of ours, though this is only the first year we have spent within the portals of our High School, it will not be long until we will be preparing to make that final crossing, which is the grandest and saddest of them all. lt is not only a crossing of ways, but a parting of ways. It is the time when the curtain will drop, and we will be scattered to the four winds. May the history we make be a proud record. -Sue Dwyer. -Phyllis Nye. 60 First Row-Eva Ater, Naomi Barnhart, Eva Bauer, Harold Bechtol, Hazel Bechtol, Lucile Bible.

In 1925, Marguerite Hoskinson be' came principal with Miss Nellie Herriman and Mrs. Smith as other teachers, with an enrollment 'of one hundred and twenty' five pupils. I In 1926, the Hfth and sixth grades were added to the Junior High depart' ment, increasing the enrollment to three hundred. Four teachers, Miss Nellie Moore, Miss Ruth Parrish and Mrs. Vera Carr were added to the teaching staff. In 1929, Montpelier Grade School , became a First Class Standard Elementary school, and today has an enrollment of 610, of which 280 belong to the Junior High, with a teaching force of sixteen for - Marguerite Hoskinson, Principal I the bU1ld1f1g. Montpelier Playfgoing patrons were indeed astonished at the wealthof talent and the high degree of cofoperation revealed in the Grade School production of L'First in the Hearts of His Countrymenf' February nineteenth. The prologue was notable because of the appearance of the Thirteen Sisters who personified the thirteen states and throughout the play attempted to guide Vsfashington during his diiiicult career. They were attired in cleverly fashioned gowns of red, white, and blue. The pageant then continued in the form of episodes as follows: Episode I, The Cornstalk Brigadeg Episode II, The Virginia Colonel, Episode III, The General, Episode IV, The President Enetertains. An outstanding performance was given by Delos Pratt, who convincingly portrayed the role of the famous General and President. Jeanette Fleming capably and graciously played Lady Washingtoim. Of special mention also, were John Miller as the boy Washingtoii. George Copeland as the youth Washingtoiu, and Paul Robinson as Hamilton. The Cornstalk Parade a group of Negro Singers, a Coun- try Dance, The Virginia Reel and the Minuet were numbers which provided imf mense enjoyment. Mary Alys Roode sang beautifully, Drink to Me Only with Thine Eyes in the lait episode. , , The Allen twins announced each episode and their cadetflike strides and jaunty ap' pearante quite captured the audience. Although every teacher aided in the preparation, those particularly in charge were Bess Lesnett and Edith Allman. They def serve high commendation for the pageant was indeed a big success. r 1 Executive Duties 64 1 Top RowfMr. Lougheed, Mrs. Carr, Miss Herriman, Mrs. Shatzer, Miss Allman, Miss Lestnut.

JUNICR HIGH SCHOOL Many special activities have marked this year a success, and we feel that much good has been derived from thcsefvarious projects. NATURE CLUB Hikes, field trips, roasts, and jolly meetings have made the activities of the Na' ture Club interesting as well as profitabe. The mild winter has made possible un' usual study of the outfoffdoors, and much interest has been shown. OFFICERS OF NATURE CLUB Robert Changnon ......... ...............

S ecretary CHARITABLE ACTIVITIES All through the year the Grade School has done its bit in caring for the poor and destitute. Fruit, vegetables, and jars were donated in the fall, and clothing and baskets of food were distributed during the holiday seasons. Toys from our shop gladdened many a needy child, and the proceeds from the sale of Christmas Seals are aiding in the war against tuberculosis. The Grade School journal published for the first time this year proved of interest to pupils and patrons. It contained stories and poems from the work of the various Junior High Department as well as summaries of athletic and social activities. The work for the publication was under the direction of Mrs. Carr, assisted by Robert Changnon as editor, Donna Tingle, assistant editor, Rachel Blue and Jack Luxan, sports editors. Georgia Stahl was circulation manager and Mary Alys Roode was treasurer. 65 EIGHTH GRADE First R0wfMarguerite Aeschliman, George Altaifer, james Barnhart, Rachel Blue, Robert Boone, Violet Brubaker, Robert Changnon, Mary Jane Commers.

MONTPELIER PUBLIC SCHOOL BAND Since time immemorial music has ever been a feature used to instill, pep and enf thusiasm to fast lagging interests, mental or physical, and nothing today is more landed and acclaimed in any large gathering than the music that can come only from a wellftrained band. Montpelier has been fortunate in having in their midst one ably prepared, to lead and direct all ages in this so much sought channel-'Mr. Broderick. We are indeed happy that Montpelier, ever in step with the best, has offered this privilege to so many, for no town or village teeming with life and vigor, will long be without this type of entertainment. Our band was organized five years ago under the leadership of C. C. Broderick and numbers fortyfnine boys and girls. In this brief time we have, achieved many laurels with the following awards of honor. 1929 Napoleon-Montpelier-Silver Cup 1931 Napoleon-Montpelier-lst Prize. 1951 Stryker-Montpelier-Silver Trophy. We have made two broadcasts from WOWO, and give weekly concerts during the summer. Cur rehearsals are held each Monday and Thursday in the High School building. An innovation started this year was the organization of a Junior band composed of boys and girls from the city and rural districts. They have achieved much in the few weeks practice and we predict for them a successful future. May we ever solicit the continued interest of our citizens and patrons in this worthy enterprize.

MONTPELIER HIGH SCHOGL ORCHESTRA Music has always held an important part in the life of man. But the combinaf tion of musical instruments in the form of an orchestra has been used for only a few hundred years, The first man to spend much time in the development of the orchesf tra and orchestral compositions was Handel. Music was thought at first to be wholly emotional in nature. A reaction set in and made it a mathematical science. Modern music has combined the old and the new ideas, so that music is both emotional and intellectual. Today the Montpelier High School offers an opportunity for those who are musically inclined, to join the High School orchestra. It is surprising how few stu' dents realize their opportunity and take advantage of it. Besides being unexcelled in intellectual training, the orchestra has valuable recreational importance. Une who has never belonged to the orchestra misses a chance for genuine fellowship and training. We have always been handicapped by the lack of a proper ensemble of instruf ments, there being a number of piano, trumpet and saxaphone players, but a scarcity of trombone, drum and especially violin and cello players, so necessary to a complete orchestra. Here we see the new, victorious over the old, and students learn to play the saxaphone and forget the timefhonored violin. The stringed instruments though diff ficult to master, are of inestimable value to an orchestra. However, with ten players under the competent supervision of Miss Higbie, we met every Tuesday morning for a half hour of practice, and played for chapel on Wednesday. We also furnished music for other special occasions, such as the Community lnstif tute, class plays and entertainments. Without a doubt every member of the orchestra, this past school year, eagerly awaited the half hour period every Tuesday so they could gather in the auditorium and share their mistakes and sour tones with others. They en' joyed playing at the various school functions and gained ' valuable experience in appearing before the public. -Richard Changnon.

BOYS' GLEE CLUB Vocal music is for the purpose of developing to a certain extent talent in voices. This is accomplished in our school through the Boys' Glee Club. People in every walk of life seem to receive untold enjoyment from hearing male voices, either in group or individually. There is some unfathomable quality that attracts an audience to a man's voice, a quality often found lacking in that of a woman. This organization prepares the youth of M. H. S. for future entertaining, either as an avocation or as a profession. The new field of radio offers a wide area of opportunity to the talented singer, and in this club, we may receive our start in such a vocation. This is one of the active clubs of the school that is rapidly progressing every year. This season a large number of boys joined the club and with the enthusiasm shown, it is bound to play an important part in the school curriculum. lt would warm the heart of any lover of music to hear these boys' voices raised in harmony, rendering, Carry Me Back To Old Virginia or to listen to the ever melodious tones of Deep River and I Want To Cross Over Into Canaan. lt can be easily discerned that future soloists and chorusers are being develop as they sing. The members of the club are interested at all times, in trying to make harmony that is uncomparable. Once a year the entire group meets with the Girls' Glee Club for a full night's entertainment. The Old Time Program, gg.: ,I . which was given by the combined clubs this year, was very ,iff unique in its presentation. Operettas, participation in a is tiaffg' Literary Contests, Radio Broadcasting, and the Annual Fair ,zjf if Contest, each had their place in making the club a benefit . ,:'g. . to all the members. zpir ppglr gi' Much of the popularity can be attributed to Miss r . 2 We rrrss Higbie, our able instructor, who directs and selectspieces , ,,,. li 1 in such a way that even the deepest voices blend with the . high tenors. ' We hope this club will increase next year as it has ' done this year, as it is of benefit to everyone that sings, as well as to those who receives the honor of listening to the Miss Higbie perfect blending of harmony. -Darwin Dickerhoff.

Through this activity some are able to portray their deepest yearnings and desires that would otherwise be unknown. The Girls Glee Club affords pleasure and musical instruction for those inter' ested and capable of vocal ability. Like all other clubs they must be qualified for their membership to the club. Due to the large number desiring to join this year, it was necessary to eliminate them by giving tryfouts and then choosing the thirty best voices. that would nrove most harmonious and blend together in pleasing melody. Under the eflicient leadership of Miss Higbie, we entered the 1931 Annual County Contest. in which the girls trio, singing, To A Wild Rose, won first place. Other events in which we participated during the school years was a prof gram broadcasting from station WOWO, Fort Wayne, which received fa' vorable comment, and a chapel program sponsored by the Community Inf stitute. Music was also provided for Commencement Exercises and for Bac' calaureate Services. The Musical Comedy, School Days, forded a great deal of training for those partaking and much pleasure for those attending. Preparations are being made for our entrance in the 1932 Annual County Contest in which we hope to make given April 22nd, af even a finer appearance than before. The selection by the ,ggggt ----' A entire group will be, Morning by Chafiin, the trio num' fil'W', bers, Allah's Holiday, selections for solos, The Secret, M' ' ' and Pirate Dreams.

It is regarded as one of the purest of fine arts and only a few are ever able to master it. A certain enchanting strain, an exquisite chord heard by lovers of melody, touches their souls and their trembling 'J heart strings reverberate the beauty of the notes, leaving its imprint upon the soul.

LATIN LEAGUE Education oifers many interesting paths, some toward the remarkable possibilf ities of the future, some back to the old customs and manners of early times. Many turn to the unknown and the new, others are content with knowing and understand' ing the things immediately around them, but a few choose to delve into the fascinat' ing events in the days of the Romans centuries ago. - We, as scholars, study the language of those earlier people, realizing its useful' ness in many vocations, we read their literature and are often confused in the inter' pretation of their meaning, which varies so greatly from ours. The officers are Consul or President, Richard Changnon, Pro Consul, Vicef President, jane Wingardg Quaestor, Secretary, Burton Blue, Praetor or Treasurer, Phyllis Nye, Sargeantfatfarms, Clarence Montgomery. By using the names of cor' responding oflicials of Roman Life instead of those heard in todays organizations the members were more in the spirit of former times. Various programs throughout the year have proven the value of the club. Slides, decpicting old and famous . buildings, early costumes and designs, were much apprecif ated by the Latin students, serving to make those timef shadowed events more a reality. At Christmas time the usual stories were told in the Latin interpretation and Ro' man ceremonies similar to our own, were compared. In response to the social interests of the group of Latin League Party was held, on the Ides of March. The enter' tainment was very much like that formerly enjoyed by the Romans and everyone found it amusing. As an emblem of membership to the club, all Latin students are permitted to wear the L. L. pin, which syrnf bolizes their interest in this classic language. Miss West Under the advisorship of Miss West, the Latin inf structor, the members have learned that the many hours of strenuous work required by this subject are not lost. -Evelyn Lewis.

This society, which was founded in 1926, was originally- named the Philu Mathete Literary Society which means, Love to Learn. However, for the sake of convenience and the fact that nonfGreek students were unable to understand it, the name was shortened to its present one, the Literary Society. Our programs have been varied, thus providing interest for all. The Cctober program was devoted to Halloween, including its history, superstitious and poems. The November meeting was held in commemoration of Robert Louis Stevenson. His biography and several of his best poems were given. Musical selections were also enjoyed. In December, the play What the Shining Star Club did at Christmas, afforded much merriment for the spectators and many opportunities for the display of the individual abilities of the cast. Not only was the play enjoyable, but it had a fine moral which was appreciated by everyone. To be a success in this modern age, everyone must possess a certain amount of poise. There are different moments in everyone's life and we must have enough self' confidence and control to meet these situations in such a way that we will have no cause for regret. The society en' deavors to give its members this poise by having them ap' pear before the eyes of their fellow students. In order to put on a program of which they are not ashamed, initiative and ingenuity, two traits which furthered the progress of our forefathers, are developed. As the name indicates, the purpose of the society is to create and encourage a love of learning, to make clear to its members the advantages of living a well rounded life, and to prepare them to take their places in the world. It also stimulates an interest in Public Speaking, Dramatics and Miss Weekley Literature, and forwards the love of good Literature. -Marvel Bratton. 83 4 1 ,iiiffd 1 32 . ,.

HI-Y CLUB Wealth, reputation, success or fame appear at one time great, at another small, but character is of stellar and undiminishable greatness. Gne becomes so invincibly persuaded that certain ideals are right, that the most confident and the most insolent persons learn here is resistance on which both impudence and terror are wasted, namely, faith in those ideals. Man desires those qualities which inspire respect and the wish to deal with him, both for the quiet spirit of honor which attends him and for the intellectual pastime which he affords. Everyone has a private interpretation of what is best in human nature. High School boys, though having varied aims, realize that the one dub which has the purpose of creating, maintaining and extending throughout the school and community, high standards of Christian character and which challenges them toward their goal, is the HifY. And truly there is a mark of distinction for those youths, who live up to HifY principles, which embody the moral ideas of clean speech, clean sports, clean scholar' ship and clean living. The club's service projects prove its alertness in times of misfortune, its willingness to cofoperate in relief. They responded cheerfully to the local assistance fund, amply donated to the State Y. M. C. A. budget and sent out en' couraging baskets of food at Thanksgiving. The HifY also assisted the West Unity Boys in the organization of a club in their High School. A wellfchoosen delegation of five members represented them at the HifY Conference at Dayton and three fortunate boys will enjoy two weeks training at Camp Nelson Todd next summer. The Girl Reserve and the HifY cofoperated in the sponsoring of the Mixer, the presentation of the Christmas X Chapel program and in the annual Girl Reserve and HifY Party.

GIRL RESERVES Beauty seen through appreciative eyes, books read with understanding hearts, friends ref garded lovingly, ideals beautifully moulded, aid graciously administered, service dutifully per' formed, and God forever worshipped, is an analysis of a Girl Reserve. Each soul on earth must have an ideal, an aim in life. None can be too strong to reach this goal, be it a worthy one without the aid of fellow men and the steadying hand of God. Each year the stragglers along the highway of life who have failed to see the light of Christiandom, whose candle of life has been lighted by the flame of burning love, are guided by those veterans, who have received that wealth, to the initiation service of our own Girl Reserve. Thus our circle of light becomes ever larger, ever stronger, and spreads its fine work wider and wider. This past year many found the way into our circle and were graciously received. They worked shoulder to shoulder with experienced members in sponsoring the Girl Reserve, HifY Christmas Chapel program, while many journeyed to Delta to the Northwestern Chio Girl Re- serve Conference to spread the story of our splendid projects, Hoping to cheer the hearts of the sad and and bring a smile to downcast faces, we prepared at Christmas time great boxes which we labeled Sunshine, and delivered to the less fortunate. These we can truthfully say, were greatly appreciated. i Our bifmonthly meetings are always interesting and looked fore' ward to with eagerness. In each session we have an explanation of a Bible story, musical selections of various kinds, and discussions in which any member can take part. These are usually problems which all girls face, and we find help in knowing the way others have solved them. We also have speakers from outside, who bring us a challenge for better living. The purpose of the varied programs is to hold the interest of every girl and to give to all some worthy thought to carry away with them. Every program is based on Christ and his teachings and we never forget to bow our heads in reverence to Him. .

FUTURE FARMERS OF AMERICA Build today, then, strong and sure Witlr a firm and ample base And ascending, and secure Shall tomorrow nnd its place. To no other organization are these lines of Longfellow more applicable than to the Future Farmers of America. The members of this organization are building confidence in themselves in their work, a love of country life, an interest in the intelligent choice of farming occupations, and developing rural leadership, hearing in mind that their Todays and yesterdays are the blocks with which they build. Montpelier Future Farmers of America have an enrollment of '50 members and held their first 1931 meeting September 22, under the leadership of their able supervisor, W. H. Bruner. At that time numerous worthwhile projects were planned for the year. Many of these have successfully been carried out, viz:fA grain and egg show held during Community Institute: pest hunt contest with Farmer Center in which we were the winners and as a result were given a banquet by their Chapter: a representative, Maurice Drake, fwho also furnished a musical num' ber for their programj was sent to the state Leadership Conference at Columbus: an interesting chapel program: a visit to Paulding Chapter where a number of our boys were raised to Future Farmer Degree, Annual Parent and Son Banquet at which time Roy Fife, State Supervisor of the Vocational Agricultural Department was with us and gave much interesting and valuable advice pertaining to our future causes. ' Our chapter again had the distinction of sending two boys, Raymond Gillette and Kenneth Miller to Kansas City to the Na' tional Congress and American Royal Livestock Show. These trips mere awarded by the Wabash Railroad Company for outstanding organization and project Work. As the Future Farmers come to the path where they cross the crowded ways of life: may they remember the lessons of this organ' ization and choose the way that will help them build a sound foundation that will lead to true Success. -Kenneth W.

THETA EPSILON Realizing that four walls fail to constitute a home, our aim is to prepare the future home' makers of our country, to plan a haven to which they can return and be safe from the greedy world without. The rudiments of home lifef-happy, peaceful home life-have been handed down from age to age. Our forefathers had not the conveniences that we possess, nevertheless they were happy-they had homes! America had a little to offer the brave newcomers. This was a spler-did group of men and women who forgot all caste-society, all traditions, as they struggled side by side, living a simple existence-giving much, filling their lives with love, scattering sun' shine, the tried links of the golden chain of happiness. In their minds was the philosophy of justice, kindness and sympathy. This is pioneer her' itage. Their hearts were filled with gratitude and radiant joy, and, lighted with that spark of eternal fire divine, they struggled onward year by year, Those days of pioneering are not so far removed from our times. Now, as then the great things in life are inexpensive. We can buy practical homes with extravagant furnishings but we cannot give gold in payment for happiness. Thus our Club was organized in 1923 to aid our generation in planning homes which will embody the happiness which was the mainstay of those pioneers. It is a social Club and one which ac' complishes much in the way of fathoming the depths of current questions. I place before you a short record of our meetings. They are held on the second Friday of each school month. At our irst meet' ing we discussed phases of etiquette, while at another meeting old fashioned clothes were studied and old magazines displayed. A Christmas party was held with an enjoyable program and gift exchange. So as we go over the paths which are crowded with humanity, we hope to aid each other reach the heights of glory, the splendid deeds of love and friendship, for we know that the eye is never quite so bright as when we travel on that last beautiful trail. -Mildred Wisman.

Z4 X Nami scnouub B'5'13?f zmrzsif' IEEE P0 wp fffnssocw 8 S THE ANNUAL AND ITS BENEFITS Has the High School An' nual become an overemphaf sized and almost useless limb of school life? This is, per' haps, best answered by sim' ply showing the overwhelm' ing interest taken by every student in this outfoffthef ordinary phase of school cur' riculum, True, it is not ac' tually a part of the school schedule but it is so widely accepted as necessary to a well rounded education that it may be considered as such. To those who have partakf en in the hundredffold duties connected with Annual work, it is only too well known that work must be in on time. The time for going to press arrives and certain writefups are found lacking or incomplete. Editors are called and told what has to be done. With a time limit put upon their work the have to do their best. Under trying circumstances they must produce completed work. In this way the mind is trained to give to its capacity in the time of greatest need. To have one's literary attempts approved and actually put into print is to most high school students an accomplishment in itself. An extra impetus is added to their efforts and talents, before unknown and unsuspected, are brought to light. The Senior class, to whom is intrusted in most cases, the publication of the school annual, learns to the utmost the value of working together. Cofoperation must be the keyboard of any class before they can possibly undertake to produce an an' nual which will be an asset to their school. Some claim this to be the greatest value of the annual. It is undoubtedly outstanding. To work together in a single body for a common cause is necessary more than once in life. It cannot be taught too early. Annual publication presents all of the many problems met in the production of any well planned magazine. The student must learn to cope with each and every difficulty as it arises. ln the end comes that joy and satisfaction which accompanies the completion of every well planned, conscientious task. ANNUAL AWARDS -Fred Moffitt. ADVISCR Miss Burns As each Senior class begins its work of compiling and publishing the Mirror, they find themselves very poorly equipped for the l task. But there is one whose complete understanding of journalism and seven years of experience in direct' ing our annual, have made her a very capable leader. Miss Burns never permits her confidence to lag and has helped us to bravely face our difficulties by conf vincing us that nothing can surpress real determinaf tion. No problems of printing or engraving is be' yond her comprehension and she is unusually patient with us as we learn. Fortunate, indeed, is our Annual Board, to have as its manager, one who is so com' pletely devoted to our interests, and who works un' ceasingly for the furtherence of our hopes and am' ' ' bitions.

The gods have no words to express the thrill and ecstacy that we ex- perienced when advised that our labor had yielded the finest fruit and our efforts had been crowded with success. The Press Association of America had seen fit after a most careful critf ical review of our work to award us that long sought for and seldom received honor All-American with a score of 931 points out of a possible 1,000. Realize if you will that this is a National contest with all states competiting and hundreds of entries in each class, and to achieve highest honors is no small accomplishment for Montpelier has been brought to the front in a recognized field of endeavor. High School publications have in recent years increased to such an extent that they play an intricate party in school activities. But I hear you say how could our small school achieve in such a new and broad field? Long months of tedious, exacting work with the spirit of never done until perfect, is the one true formula. Nothing can be accomplished without proper financial backing and naturally this was the major problem about which we were concerned. With the very first weeks of school schemes for making money were considered and launched. Every dollar counts tremendously and with that thought in mind, our financial prof gram was initiated. Cofoperation must be attained, the executive staff, the minor units and the class itself must be in harmony. The will of the majority is supreme. The minority must work for the wishes of all-as-if their very own. Now, as to the Annual itself. A theme mustrbe selccted of an expansive nature that may be adapted to any phrase of school life. Then art work must be carried in sympathy with the activities embraced therein, and finally the major duty of enacting in a panoramic way the life of the school day by day. It is sent to press and in a few days we look upon our masterpiece with a joy and satisfacf tion in work well done. The 1931 Annual Board expresses their most sincere appreciation to those who in any way contributed to this achievement. Interesting Comments State Director of Public Instruction-Joseph W. Fitcher. -Carl Deadman, Bus. Mgr., 1931. You surely are to be congratulated upon the honor which you have won with the yearbook. The fact that you kept at it with the result that you were accorded the rating-superior All' American this year is one of the most commendable features of your achievement. Advertising Club of Toledo, praises yearbook. A careful perusal of The Mirror published by Mont' pelier High School, reveals a most interesting theme well carried outg apparently the choice of the theme was arrived at after serious thought and this thought carried out with painstaking persistence. There is also a very noticeable and creditable incorpora' tion of the class and school spirit. One cannot read this book without feeling that there is a high school with a bunch of gofgetters in it.

COMMERCIAL ASSOCIATION CONTEST The Northwestern Ohio Commercial Association Contest is composed of all the schools in this part of the country. The purpose of the contest is two fold. First: to select entries for the state contest, which is held at Bowling Green and sec' ond: to develop better work and more enthusiasm in the commercial subjects. The N. W. O. C. A. has been active for a number of years, however operating under definite organization for only the past four years. To the winner of the contest, each year, a trophy has been awarded. This trophy will not become the permanent possession of any one school until it has been won three successive times by the same school. The first year the trophy was won by Archbold, the second year by Montpelier and the third year by Defiance. The Commercial Contest is a great incentive for students to strive for high achievements. From the beginning of the school year in September enthusiasm is gradually worked up to that crowning event of the year, The District Commercial Contest. The two months preceeding the contest intensive training is given in all the classes and considerable work outside of classes in preparation for the event. The five best students in each of the different classes are permitted to enter. In the three year existence of the Contest, Montpelier has made a very creditable showing, having placed third the first year, winning Hrst the second and taking second place last year at Delta. The achievement of the contest are increasing each year, last year's results being the highest of any recorded.

MOTHERS' CLUB The Montpelier High School Mothers Club was organized about eight years ago. lt has been gradually growing and each year something worth while has been added to the school equipment. Years ago the teachers boarded around with the patrons of the school. But now few people would learn to know the teachers, if it yvgelotgfoig rg parents' organizations. The old ''DebathigTSociety, w'hicli niet 'in theschools of days gone by is'-pert' haps the parent of all Parent and Teacher associations. Our Mothers Club is not affiliated with the state congress of parents and teachers, but it has practically the same purpose. The L'Debating Society brought together all parents, teachers, and children. They also met regularly for the old Singing School. It seems that there is now the greatest need, of all times, to know our schools. Just now when the whole country is in such upheavel, the best we can do for our children is not nearly enough. A high school education means no more now than the grade school education did twentyfiive or thirty years ago. One of the first questions asked of a young person seeking a position is, What education have you? The Mothers Club does all it can to make the school attractive to our young folks of the community. We do not stop with the youngsters of our own household, but for those of our neighbors. ln the last few years each graduatf ing class has been made happy, because some of its mem' bers have been given those essentials so necessary to the heart of youth, that they might appear as the rest in that most impressive occasion-Commencement. This is one of the finest things done by the club. This club has no dues and makes most of its money by serving luncheons and dinners. We consider each Mother of High School boy or girl a member of the club. The meetings are held in the school N building once each month with H. S. faculty as guests. The programs are made up numbers given by the teachers, guests, children, and members of the club. We covet the continued attention of every parent, that our club may grow in interest and numbers. -Mrs. C. A. Bible. Supr.

GRADE SCHOOL P. T. A. Thirtyffive years ago in Washington, D. C., under the inspection of two noble women-Phoebe Hearst and Alice Birney-was founded the organization of the Parents and Teachers Association. It is the same Washington where so many of our thoughts and attentions are drawn, during this Bifcentennial of the birth of the man who founded the city and for whom it was named. Here was planted the utree of the P. T. A. from whose ever spreading branches come the sole purpose of planning for the uplift and protection of our children-America's greatest asset. The principal work of the Grade School P. T. A. dur' ing this year has been along the lines of furnishing physif cal needs in the way of food and clothing not only to the school child but to other members of the family also. A set of Reading Circle Books was purchased and the Association agreed to sponsor Boy Scout Troop No. 215 for the year 1932. V Qur meetings are well attended and whatever kind of welfare work is attempted is met with hearty response. At our Annual get-together on Feb. 25, parents and teachers met as friends. A spirit of good will and co' operation was manifest. Miss Hoskinson -Mrs. F. E.

On the football field he is just another player, strengthening our weak points and rubbing out the imperfections and blunders of inexperience until eleven green and awkward boys have been trans- formed into a clear thinking and accurately op' erating body. During our four years he has been molding an important part of our character and whatever we become in the future, whatever success we attain, we realize it has been due considerably to his inf fluence. Thus, we of '32 find ourselves leaving a sport, that has built us stronger and surer, and, more ref gretfully, we bid farewell to our Coach and the lessons of square playing that he taught. -Dolen Custer, Captain. CUSTER Custer was the kind of an athlete that every' one admires. He took defeat and victory alike and smiled through it all. His guiding influ- ence hclped many of us when we needed help. He was the spirit and punch of our team. He is a capable leader and one whom it is a pleasure to folf low.

He ripped holes in his opponents line Qto Wauseon's sorrowj that netted us many useful yards. STAHL-Halfback Stahl's pluck prevailed in every game. He was always encouraging his teammates. Because of his unwillingness to quit, he added many an extra yard after he was tackled. NICHOLS-End Nichols quickly adapted himself to Montpelier's style of play. His ability to receive passes and his agility proved invaluable aid. FOOTBALL HISTORY Manager of the Road, Coach Swanson ordered out the Blue and White Special, deluxe train of M. H. S. He put his crew to work oiling, polishing and conditioning our great engine. Hours of work, mo' ments of fun, and they had it in smooth running order to start the season's schedf ule. On September 20, the crew took their places, Conductor Custer gave the signal and they were roaring away to Perrysburg for the first run of the season. Rain and a muddy field did not dampen their spirits and they made good schedule time, coming in ahead at the end of the run 6fO. September 26, Defiance Sent over their big husky team to wreck the locomof tive. The crew kept the engine going steadily and they allowed only one score in the Hrst half.

BASS-Guard Bass was always in the thick of the fray. His duties were to pull out of the line and run in' terference. In these he always did his best. fiance boys filled thc air with balls and won 38fO and went home gloriously happy. A disappointing score but a gallant fight on the part of the Blue and White. The team had the old locomotive purring softly again when Napoleon came over on October 2 with a determination to win. It was no use we thought. Stahl eluded all wouldfbe tacklers in the second quarter chalking up the score of 6fO that defeated them. The Blue and White Spe- cial,was again on time. Edon had taken up football so their challenge of a game for October 16 was accepted. Although a new team, they had weight, and a menacing Edon spirit held us scoreless in the first half. In the last quarter Dickerhoff plunged through Ed' on's line with the power of a freight train. The final score was 19fO.

The result was directly the opposite and the Montpelier players received Howe's compliments on their legs and bodies. A lateral, Connely to Kirk scored our only points. Howe captured the victory with the score 19f6. The Bryan Bears! On November 13 the Blue and White Special was polished up and we went over to play our friendly rivals. As always, it was a dreary day, and the field was rain soaked. The Bears seemed not to mind the mud and executed their plays with neat precision and a great deal of success. The locomotives plays were ripped to pieces but their Hghting spirit showed true 'Pelier sportsmanship. The score was 30-O. With the locomotive back on the track again, we went over to Liberty Center on November 20. The boys were again in the old form, showing the old ight. Runs were slowed up by the sandy field but it was an exciting game. The locomotive succeeded in getting a hard earned touchdown. Liberty made one equally as hard earned and tied the score. Some hard playing ensued as both sides tried to raise their score but it remained unchanged, 6f6. The Blue and White Special, although not always in ahead of time was a good team and deserves our compliments. They showed the 'Pelier Spirit and true sports' manship. May they profit by the experiences of the past and have still better success in the future. -Kenneth Kirk. FAREWELL TEAM OF 1931 With another year drawing to a close, we the Seniors of 1932, must part, never to play together again, never to laugh and work side by side on the gridiron. Through sweat, mud, rain and hail, through driving legs and flying cleats we struggled to play a game of football. During the half we tried to iron out our faults, to get our man was the essential thing. ' Under the showers, the soothing flow of water eased our bruises and pains, then we discussed the other team's strategy. It's all over with, we've had our banquet and our letters and last but not least, those once painful injuries, now souveniers. So with a parting thought the Senior squad hope that the next year brings a prospect of material for winning games. May your injuries be few and far between, may you pront from experience and practice. -Kenneth Kirk. 101 l EVERS-Captain Forward, Guard Speed combined with skill describes Evers on the basket ball floor. His keen handling of the ball baffled even the hardest opponents. He plays equally well as forward or guard, but had a way of getting the ball through a seemingly impossible defense. OSBORNEfGuard Earl had a fight that was un' conquerable. He worked hard and was always in the thick part of the struggle. His apt' ness as either forward or guard will make him conf spicious for his absence. BOYS, BASKETBALL Determined to uphold all record for good DICKERHOFF--Guard Darb was one player who never admitted defeat until the final whistle had blown. His spirit seemed to help much when it was needed most. His playing proved himself capable of his posi' tion on the team. NICHOLS Forward, Center Nichols is an efficient player which was prov- ed by chalking up his share of points in every game. He seem' ed to have an unerring ability of making bas' kets from all positions on the floor. teamwork and true sportsmanship, Locomotives greeted Stryker on our flour and though not quite equal to the visitors, who had already played several games. They certainly displayed ability, which worried the opponents. At Edgerton the teams were wellfmatched, with a tie score near the end. When a successful two point shot was made and' immediately folf lowed the final signal. When Bryan came here, the boys began with the traditional vigor and action, but they couldn't hold up and Bears gained a safe lead. .lanuary 1, Wauseon, last year's District Champions invaded the M. H. S. Gym and by clever passing and shooting outwitted our Loco' motives. Napoleon and Defiance both claimed hon' ors, although our men kept up the old spirit and faced the defeat with a sportsman's gift. Next Montpelier went to West Unity, where the team used a system of clever and complicated plays that completely surprised the opponents. During the first half they seemed hopelessly unable to cope with them, but after having a chance to think it over they came back in the second half and gained a slight lead RUTLEDGE Guard Though Rutledge had only a short time to show his prowess to Montpelier fans, he quickly demonstrated to them his ability on either the offense or defense. Ross under' stood his A-B'C's in this sport and was always a brainy player. Senior Squad First Team Freshmen ' 102 FRANKLIN Forward, Guard Franklin was small but he often surprised the opponents by showing he had a great amount of basket ball ability. He seemed to have a dead eye for the bucket. Another Junior who will help much in next year's team. l . MORAN-Center Bigness sometimes means awkwardness, but Jack show' ed by his ability to snatch the ball from the tallest of them that he could be large and still be agile on the court. This was his Hrst year on the varsity and much is expected of him next year. CONNOLLY--Forward Even though a little stage fright on his Hrst attempts on the varsity, he was quick to show his teammates and spectators that practice makes perfect. He will also be one of next year's live. which the Locomotives were unable to surpass. IHRIG-Guard A little bashful at times, it all vanishes when he steps on the floor. He takes great pride in keeping his opponent scoreless and at the same time he puts in his customary points. A guard that all will fear next year. Liberty Center and Kunkle both won by a point. ln the nrst game each team played with all the skill and artiflce that goes with basket ball. In the latter the score was tied and the team, having lost Rutledge and Evers on fouls, was unable to hold out in the overtime. Our second meeting with Bryan was on their floor and old M. H. S. is proud of the determination and endurance that carried our boys through to victory, in one of the most ex' citing games ever played between these two schools. Pioneer welcomed the Locomotives February 2, and in spite of the eiforts of every player they were not able to cofoperate with any success, a point immediately taken advantage of. Although the boys went on battling with both force and strategy in our last games, Napoleon, Defiance and Liberty Center, they could not improve the record of the year. The Tournament, in which we again played Bryan, also proved disappointing to the en- thusiastic supporters. Throughout the year these boys, several of whom will never again compete in M. H. S, Athletics, showed that unlagging courage and fortitude that we like to see in both the winning team and the one with less success. -Louise Guyse. ROSS MESSNER Forward Messner played equal' ly as well on either side of the floor and proved himself worthy of his position. His passing, shooting and dribbling was all any- one could demand and often accounted for points in a game. Sophomores Second Team Action 103 r ALMA TINGLE-Guard Alma's game was ever the same. She never tired but steadily held her forward within control. She was always their and ready to do her very best. WAVA YOST Running Center As the season progressed, it became apparent that the po' sition for Yost was at center. She went after the tipfoff and used good judgment in getting rid of the ball. DONNA BRANNAN Donna has participated in her last season of basket ball and her example of true spirit and good sportsman- ship in every game has taught us the real value of athletics. MAXINE KOBE jump Center Maxine was jump center and always in the center of the scrimage. She gave all our plays a good start from center, and her opponent a rough battle. GIRLS' BASKETBALL Look Out! Here comes the locomof tives steaming into the gym after an' other rather unsuccessful season. We started off with an encouraging victory over Stryker with a score at 28 to 19. Upon jorneying to Edgerton however we were defeated with the score 34 to 17. But we did not loose hope for the next game was scheduled with our strongest opponent, Bryan. They proved the better team and won with a score of 22 to 13. West Unity visited us and after a well fought battle they were victorious with the score book reading 20 to 13. Our next visitor was Liberty Center who defeated us also with the score 25 to 13. With eagerness we met Kunkle in our own gymnasium but JANE WINGARD Forward Jane is the forward that is depended upon for basket work. She is adept in dribbling around her guards. She has a steady fighting spirit that is quite helpful to the team. Cheer Leaders Coach Kingsmore Where's the Ball 104 MARTHA ROTHENf I BERGER-Forward Rothenberger was our for- ward. She had the ability to retain her temper. She fought hard and always tried to do her best to make the preceding score higher. NAOMI GRIMES-Sub Who can be more easily changed in position than Naomi? She has played for- ward, jump center, and run- ning center and was found to be very able to adapt her' self to position assigned. She was very quick and earnest. MARIE HAINES Running Center Marie proved herself to be both quick and alert. She played fast and strenuous, giving her opponent a rough fight for the ball. LOIS MCCREA Lois is a very good sport. Although she did not always get to play she was ready to do her bit when her chance was given her. again we showed our sportsmanship in taking the defeat of 23 to 8 with out a grumble. In a second game with Bryan, our team met them on their floor, after a half of well matched playing sucf cumbed to their opponent with a score of 17 to 8. The season was nearly over and only one game in our favor. Grim def termination and organized playing, made itrpossible for us to defeat the strong Pioneer team on their floor with a score of 16 to 14 in our favor. Now but one more game and the same team would never iight as one again. Some leaving the school to iight the game of life, which if played right is very en' joyable and has a very happy reward. This game was at Liberty Center and the score favored them 23 to 11. -Donna Brannan. l SUE DWYER Forward Sue played a very clean game. She was always calm and never seemed to loose her head no matter what the circumstances were. She had a good eye for the basket.

The membres picked to conf stitute the team were mostly new material with little or no experience. However with a few of the old members back they were able to get in shape for the Defiance Relays. Although we did not place high in the match we had several individuals who showed much promise of development and were able to bring home two medals WGrimes wnining a Gold Medal with the shotput and Deadman a Bronze Medal with the javelin. Next was the dual meet with Bryan, held at Montpelier. Bryan had trained one of the best teams in years, but several members of the local team were able to win from their opponents. Those placing first or second in their events are: Grimes, Shotput, Thompson, Discus, Kiess, High Hurdles, Deadman, Javelin, Guyse, Low Hurdles, 100 Yard Dash, Osborn, Mile. The next ended with the score 93 to 30 in Bryan's favor. The third meet of the season was that of the Northwestern Ohio League, held at Napoleon. Montpelier was able to collect 24 points for fourth place. Next followed the District meet at Toledo. Several of the boys displayed great skill and our opponents found them very keen competitors. When the contest ended Grimes had won a Gold Medal with the Shotput, Thompson a Gold Medal with the Discus, Deadman, a ribbon with the Javelin, and Osborn a ribbon in the Mile. The season ended with Grimes winning Sth place with the Shotput at the State Relays. He also holds the League record with a toss of 41 feet BM inches. Those who helped by scoring points for the team of 'Bl are: Thompson fCapt.J Discus and Pole Vault, Kiess, High Hurdles and Relay team, Deadman, Javelin, Guyse, Low Hurdles, 100 Yard Dash, 220 Yard Dash, Grimes, Shotput, Discuss, Osborn, Mile, Relay team, Custer, Javelin, 220 Yard Dash, Dickerhoff, Shotput, Ref lay team, Bailey, Shotput, Connolly, Low Hurdles, 100 Yard Dash. -Earl Osborn. 106 1932 TRACK First ROUJAR.

TRACK 19 3 2 The old saying is, The early bird gets the worm, but foundation for this was broken by the 1931 Track Team. Although getting out late in the season the Loco' motives were there with suilicient zip and speed in both the Held and track events to make any team work hard for a point. Although at first the prospect for a high scoring team seemed impossible by the loss of a number of graduated trackseers, it was soon evident that we had material that could be developed. Seniors, Juniors, Sophomores and even the Freshman worked with equal diligence. p Even though we did not compete in as many meets, we showed ourselves as fighting contenders in every battle. Material seemed to come out of the blue sky. Boys who though they had no ability whatever stormed the fort by surprise. We had a little bad luck in losing our invaluable coach, Mr. Swanson through illness but the work was faithfully carried on by Mr. Kingsmore. We have dual meets with Napoleon May 3, and one with Bryan May 6, later on in the season we have a county meet and a league meet in which all of the league school participated. We have high hope for a successful track season this year, and hope to hold up the standards of our M. H. S. -Bryce Nichols. 107 Kelley, Lett, Ritchie, Eberly, Foust, Kimmel, Ihrig, Evers, Hosler. TENNIS , Although this is the youngest club in the high school, it has advanced in a short time to a place of prominence and power. Since the club has been organizfed, players of great talent have been uncovered and developed in such a way that they have been able to show that superiority in more matches than one. Maurice Evers, Hubert Kelley, Robert Newcomb and William Kirkwood were the masters of the local court, and so earned their way to the N. W. O. Tennis Tournament. Newcomb, in the singles and Evers and Kelley in the doubles came out on top in the district finals. This advanced them to the State meet at Columbus. Montpelier went out with the skill and grit suiiicient to beat any team in the counf try. Evers and Kelley won their contest from Lakewood in a game marked with thrills, but the superior playing of the locals brought them through to victory and the Ohio Doubles Championship. Another honor and cup to our trophy case that we are indeed proud of. The organization started out this year with a series of elimination matches in which the best players were chosen to represent Montpelier. The teams had numerous matches with Toledo in which they had a great amount of success. Local boys have aroused much enthusiasm with their matches and have inspired both young and old into attempting the game, which has its advantages as health building as well as pleasure giving. The game exercises all muscles of the body besides developing a habit of clear and effective thinking. We hope that they succeed in their desire to create a bigger and better tennis club and that they succeed in the future as well as they have in the past. -Maurice Evers. 108 INTRA-MURAL SPORTS 109 -I 4 F .

BOYS' INTRA-MURAL SPORTS In the past few years there has been a trend towards IntrafMural sports,,and contests among classes. These are held for the express purpose of enabling those who do not take part in the regular athletic program of the school, to develop them' selves physically. It brings to front talent which had otherwise been hidden. lt is impossible to have a large number of students competing in the regular athletic cur' riculum. So the authorities realizing that every student needs the development of mind and body given by the more highly competitive sports, have introduced Intraf Mural sports in the school schedule. In M. H. S. the Intra-Mural sports are composed of Gym, Basket Ball, and Inter' Class Track and Leader Corps. The state requires that every student not engaged in athletics be required to take ninety minutes of Gym each week. The boys gym classes, under the supervision of Mr, Kingsmore, have a regular schedule and study the rudiments of tumbling, tap dancing and competitive games and contests. MR. KINGSMORE Mr. Kingsmore is the leading light in our little circle of athletics. On the foot ball Held he is just one of the boys, and is always ready to instruct and help any one in need. He is ever alert and spends a great deal of his time in teaching boys games and apparatus work. He has a great influence over the pupils because in the classroom he is a dignified instructor and in an athletic practice he is among the first to start the fun. He is a teacher that everyone can get along with and he will be remembered by all seniors long after they have left the portals of Montpelier High School. 110 Mildred Wisman, Donna Brannan, Lois McCrea, Alma Tingle, Wava Yost, Marie Haines, Helen Boone, lleen McDowell, LaMoyne Stuller, Sue Dwyer, Doris Buntain, Delores Campbell, Arland Weber, Maxiiie Gorgas, Rosamond Hoag, Evelyn Hoadley. GIRLS' INTRA-MURAL SPORTS Gym classes, interfclass basket ball tournaments, and the Leader Corps combine to form the lntrafMural Sports. Gym classes began the third week of the school term. Our first meetings were enlivened by the folk dances and tap steps which our instructor, Mr. Kingsmore, taught us. We also learned the rules of a number of games, such as indoor volley ball and base ball. During the basket ball season we played at amateur basket ball, relays and races, together with many exercises which it required skill and composure to perform. They were given to test our ability. After the InterfClass Tournament, which was held on Friday, March 11, we began practicing dances and physical exercises in preparation for Exhibition Night which was held the latter part of April. In the lnterfClass Tournament, the Freshmen and Sophomore girls opposed each other, while the Juniors and Seniors were in stiff competition. Due to the lack of practice, the Senior team lost to the Juniors by four points. The Sophomores def feated the Freshmen girls by a mere point, thus being entitled to play the Junior girls in the finals. This game, played to decide which was the champion team of the four classes, was a swift and exciting struggle. The fastfworking Juniors scored a hard' earned victory over their opponents, and again were cheered, but they met their def feat when they clashed with the champions of the Junior High School, the eighth grade girls team. The Leader Corps, active last year in intrafmural sports, did not begin function' ing until about the middle of March. Girls from four classes, some of last years group, and some new members began practicing for Exhibition Night. flna McDaniel. 111 515-FT a awful , Pvxfifll A ' '- '.

JUNIOR HIGH BASKETBALL When practice was called for Basket Ball this year, about twenty ambitious sixth, seventh, and eighth graders came out. The coach this year was Mr. Doyle Swanson. Mr. Swanson immediately started drilling on fundamentals and the principles of the game. A few simple but efhcient plays were then practiced. The Junior High had a very successful season this year, winning twelve out of thirteen scheduled games. Much credit for this splendid record is due to our coach. With a few practices to put them into condition, the team journeyed to Alvord- ton. Alvordton showed a fast and classy type of basket hall, but were downed to the time of 13f8. The next game was with Stryker on Montpelier's floor. The Junior High played sluggishly and were beaten by the score of 12f8. Next the team journeyed to West Unity where we came out on the long end of a ten to two score. The next week Bryan came to Montpelier with high hopes. However they were defeated by the score of 10f3. The team again packed their suits and journeyed to Kunkle where the Junior High again emerged victorious winning hy 8 points. The final score was 19fll. The next week the team journeyed to Edgerton. After a close game, the Junior High came out on top. The final score was l3f9. The team then started playing return games. All of the return games were won hy junior High. The team received revenge by defeating Stryker 1948. The first team members were: Moody, Dennison, Lowery, Hodson, Pratt and Mixter. The capable second team members were: Kennedy, Luke, Tingle, Sapp, and Luxan. w The team ended the season by defeating the High School lnterfClass Cham' pions 264 2. -Dclos Pratt. 4 .

JUNIOR HIGH GIRLS' BASKETBALL The most exciting and interesting sport participated in by the girls in Junior High is basket ball. The girls take a great interest in it as it is the only sport offered to them. The Alvordton girls defeated us on their floor by a small margin. We had no chance to erase this defeat as the girls did not return our game. We evened up the score with Edgerton, they winning on their floor and We on ours. The annual junior High tournament ended in favor of the eighth grade. The eighth grade girls, coached by Rachel Blue, played against the seventh grade girls, who were coached by Barbara Houser. Following the slogan, L'Finish what you start, the Junior High girls' team, composed of mostly eighth graders, defeated the Junior girls who won the High School tournament. The girls feel this their biggest victory and give their thanks to Miss Gerig, their coach, for her splendid instructions. -Rachel Blue. CHAMPIONS' REWARD Miss Herriman held a party at her home for all eighth graders who took part in the InterfClass tournament. Thirty people were present including teachers as guests.

The coach this year was Mr. Hosler as it has been in the previous two years. A large number of boys went out, all anxious to show their stuff, and win a place on the team. After a few weeks of training, a fairly good squad was chosen. Thissquad in turn, .wasdeveloped and pounded into good playing shape. W , The junior High team played only two games this year, both of which were with Bryan. The first game played with Bryan was held on Montpelier's own grounds. After some fast playing and some good Held running, the victory of 31f7 was given to the J. H. S. This being the first game played and won, it surely raised the spirits of all the team, not to mention many of their supporters. The second game, which was played at Bryan, was more exciting than the first, Bryan surely surprised all Montpelier fan by coming out with a much larger and, apparently, a much more experienced team. The day was hot and this heat told greatly on both squads. Although Bryan came very near scoring several times, they only scored once. At the end of the game, the score was tied 6f6. The purpose of Junior High Foot Ball is to bring out and develop material for future use in our High School athletic activities. Judging from the results of.this season's football, we should have a fine Varsity team, a few years hence. -Jack Luxon. 114 ACTIVITIES UR Iorefalrhers found refreshmenf afier Iheir labors in Ihe peace and quiefude of Iheir homes and Iamiiy circies.

Martha Washington loved flowers and she had a rose garden which she cherished above all. Like all other women she loved parties and good times. When she entertained, her home was elaborately decorated with gorgeous blossoms from her garden of paradise. The face of each rose revealed a secret of its own and a fragrance sweet and pure. Likewise we enjoy amusements, and we too can be likened to a rose in Martha's garden. The bud of the rose is our youth, then it slowly opens and as each petal unfolds it reminds us of our years of development. Then the full blossoming rose-in all its glory and fragrance-our Maturity. Alas! the fading blossom slowly-slowly, dies and crumbles to pieces. Life is like that, it always shall be! So live a life worth living, be happy! Enjoy the sweetness while you can and it will help to flavor the sorrow. r 'fl OUR HIGH SCHOOL MIXER In our garden of enchantment one night there did take place a most unusual sight. Be' ware! My children, beware! for ghosts and haunts were seen almost everywhere. It was late one day in October during the season of Halloween, that all mysterious sights were seen. It was this unusual invitation that brought us forth through the darkness of this night: This invites you one and all To the mixer held every fall Come to auditorium, fire escape door Monday night at eight o'c1ock-please, no more All masked and ready for a good time Each carrying in your hand a dime. MOTHER AND DAUGHTER BANQUET In the light of our candle may we live forever for the God of Love and Beauty. May we js we go fogh from this Girl Reserve Club ever be strengthened by the morals it has set before us as an example of an ideal lifeir Thus ended, the Wshes ofreacli' seEior'as she was given' heif candle that was colored to signify the number of years she had spent in service. To the girls who had been a loyal member for four years the much treasured gift of a Girl Reserve ring was given. Each girl was accompanied by her proud mother, who exulted with her in her accomplish' ment. The younger members bid us farewell in a very ceremonious candlelight service. In our garden of memory there shall remain no reception as dear to us as this one. THE FOOT BALL BANQUET Listen! What do I hear. It sounds like an army. Look! It is an army, of heroes from the M. H. S. Gridiron of 1931. Everyone, from the captain to the water boys, are assembled to seat themselves once again around the proverbial banquet table. Suddenly the doors operI and come the glad tidings that all is ready. There is a mad scramble, not unlike the plunge onsthe football field. After everyone is seated around the tables which are decorated in red andgreen the mothers appear with huge platters of food, for a Royal feast. For nearly an hour the mothers are kept busy carrying heaping platters of deliciously cooked food to the honored guests. There is fried chicken and everything that goes with it. For desert each boy was delighted to see a huge wedge of pumpkin pie, topped generously with whipped cream, placed before him. When all were finished and the dishes were taken away, the captain of the 1931 foot ball squad, Dolen Custer, rose to his feet and acted as toastfmaster. After a few preliminary words, 116 ' only he, himself, could do it. During the discussion he named the allfconference team, who in his estimation, were the outstanding eleven men from M. H. S. When the coach had again seated himself, the cheer leader, Miss Wava Yost, proposed a yell for the Mother's to which everyone present rfsponded gallantly. With this banquet the foot ball season came to a c ose. he introduced Coach Swanson who summed up the history of foot ball as JUNIOPVSENIOR BANQUET The last streak of sunlight had faded, and in the distance I could Y hear familiar strains of an old time melody. I drew nearer and caught the last notes of the minuet. Senior Prom. Suddenly great gates opened and I was ushered into the most ador' able garden that nature ever gave to man. On every hand the charm and irnagnificence seemed to thrill ones very being and we realized that a thing of beauty is a joy orever. Here was a place to forget trouble. Ye old time ladies had spread the festal board, and we were to partake of the dainties prepared by their own hands-a toast to our junior friends. Again strains of music and dainty figures with their gallant knights tripped the light fantastic toe until the wee hours of another day-happy in the culmination of a longfdreamed of occasion. PARENTSON BANQUET Once more the banquet halls are flooded with laughter and conversation, the Future Farmers of America have assembled for a Parent and Son Banquet. Earl Osborn, who is already a very successful farmer was the worthy toastmaster. The repast of fried chicken, mashed potatoes, salad and best of all pumpkin pie was en' joyed by the guests. A carefully planned program followed with Lowell Martin singing a solo and Maurice Drake entertaining on his faithful trombone. Paul Messner a distinguished graduate made a few appropriate remarks. A saxaphone solo by Bernard Clymer was then much appreciated. The state supervisor of Agriculture, Mr, Ray Fifer gave the boys and their fathers a few points on farming. After an enjoyable evening the banquet came to an end and each guest left the building with a smile of pleasure and contentment on his face . THETA EPSILON PARTY Demure, pious, and sweet, each maiden entered the room dressed in Christmas attire. The guests were presented with gayly colored paper and were requested to try their skill at cutting out a Santa Claus according to their conception of him. Then a joyous outburst! You should have seen how they appreciated it. Appropriate prizes were awarded. Games added to the evenings fun and pleasure. Refreshments made in the culinary room by the members of the cooking classes, were certainly appetizing and they satisfied everyone. The clock struck the hour of parting and the joyful band started on their journey home- ward, with a wish of Merry Christmas for all. SALESMANSHIP PARTY Good eveningiMay I have a few minutes of your time. RI represent the salesmanship class of the Montpelier High School: I have with me some magazines published by the Curtis Publishing Company. We are selling these magazines to aid' the Athletic Association of our school-etc. But await! My good friend, this was not the purpose of this meeting. After a contest between the red and green Indian tribes of the salesmanship class the reds sponsored a party for the winning green tribe. The party was a most delightful one and the games played during the evening were characteristic of Indian life. About ninefthirty a long line of the red tribe came wedging their way in the gym with steaming not bowls of chili in each hand, and they presented it to each guest. 117 In years to come each student will recall this party with joy as they stand behind a counter testing their skill at selling the goods before them. My wish is that they will be as successful as this party was. JUNIORSENIOR PROM Near Valentine day we always give a heart away, some thought of kindness and a spirit of love. But who ever thought of making valentines by decorating someone with scraps of paper at a party? Well we did and you should have seen Raymond Bass, as Queen Elizabeth, Fredrick Lett, as Sir Henry Lauder, and jack Moran as Baby Moran. We then were given cards with names of famous lovers and the two corresponding were seated together while a most delightful lunch was served. Then the spirit of youth prevailed over all. Graceful figures dressed in bright colored gowns glided along the floor in a merry dance. So mindful were they of their cares and woes of ordinary school life that it seemed like a dream come true. But a thing of beauty is a joy forever and we can never forget this scene. So enchanted were they by the soft, sweet, music, that they did not realize it was growing late. All of a sudden the music stopped, there were sighs of lament, the dance was over, and we as Seniors realized that one more happy occasion had been torn from our social calendar. LATIN LEAGUE PARTY Dextra pedeg right foot first or are you a Latin student. Beware of the Ides of March! The Ghost of Caesar floats o'er the land. Black skull bones marked with white teeth and sunken in eyes greeted each guest. The banquet room was wierdly hung in black and white. The first part of the evening was devoted to dramatizations of the events in the books Caesar, Cicero, and Vergil. Then they tried their skill at shooting arrows. The ghastly looking ghost of Caesar which hung on the east side of the room served as the target. Low and behold -a Bang! Crash! Caesar's poor head was pierced and his ghost fell cold on the floor. Now for a program, through the hall they go and now they are seated in the auditorium. Music, song, and readings spiced the evenings jovs. Again happily we returned to the room from which we had come.

It's at Mr. Shaifer's home, what can it be? Ah, it's for some newlyweds-Mr. and Mrs. Kingsmore, I do believe. Well anyway they are as happy as they can be and oh boy! just look at the delicious things to eat, and everything looks so nice. The house is beautifully decorated with bright bouf j quets of flowers and every teacher in their very best of dress. Now I'm not suie but from what I can see I judge it's kind of a formal affair. Yes and what's more the teachers have brought with them a box all wrapped very neatly in white paper and it's tiedwith dainty ribbong they are giving it to Mrs. Kingsmore. Look she's opening it, there's a beautiful card that I'1l bet it expresses the teachers best wishes for their happiness. Now she's unwrapping the contents of the package and low and behold there she found the prettiest silver gravy bowl you ever laid eyes on. Finally after a most enjoyable evening with this young married couple I see them put on their coats and now they are hiding their most gracious hostess and host adieu! Now I ask you wasn't that party nice?

The sun rose in the east as usual but with a fuller, broader meaning. It flooded the windows with sunshine, while the fresh air hlled the halls with sweet fragrance from without. This was a time set apart for each student to retire from the duties of the day, and meditate upon subjects most vital in this sojourn of life. Sept. 23-The Rev. Higbie-discoursed with us on the subject of Youth, giving us food for thought for laying a better foundation for our future career. To be a success, we must be a student of world problems, as our life is a part of the wide world. High School is the place to adjust ourselves, to glean real pleasure from life. Sept. 30-In place of going to the auditof rium we returned to our home room and en' joyed an informal discussion on the topic Being a good sport. Special talks were given by: Marvel Bratton-In the lives of great pcrsonages is the spirit of selffsacrifice always evidentg how does this effect daily living? Varion Thorp-Best man always wins regardless of circumstances. Darwin Dickerhoff-What is the proper attitude for team and spectators to take at Wauseon game or any other one? Virginia Cook-Marks of an educated man. Richard Changnon-What percentage of give and take can we count as our own share in the routine of daily living? Each was a challenge to see if we were able to meet the standard. Auditorium Oct, 7-Rev. Wright-L'Nothing. Nothing is a favorite pet word of many of us, yet few could give an adequate explanation. It may seem difficult to discuss such a subject, but it is exactly what the Rev. Wright of the Firestone Presbyterian Church of Akron, Ohio, did. Nothing in reality is something. When Jesus stood before Pilate, he answered nothing, there' fore it should mean something to us. We must mix sweetness with bitterness to live successfully. God prepares us in youth-That we may be a future success. Girls Trio- To a Wild Rose, Blanche Stahl, Helen Carr, Pauline DcMuth. Oct. 2lf After School-What? fHome room Chapelj. After School-What? is a question confronting each person at one time or another. The school work gives us an insight in Helds, toward which we might advance. - -4Dcef28-Mr. Faulkner1f TaxesQ.' We were,encQuraged ,tp bgconle worthy citizeni we are not to be slaves of tradition. We must continue our schools, it is a part of our lTves, it creatg an' enriched life, a desire for more than mere existence, our standards of living cannot be abandoned in hard times but should serve to strengthen us. This is a machine age but our schools are the most essential industry. Nov. 4- Cheating Bryce Nicholas--VJill cheating help a person in the business and prof fessional world? Donna Brannan-is cheating a necessary evil. Why? Maurice Evers-How cheating effects the individual? Earl Osborne-Is cheating a habit. Why? Nov. 11-The Rev. Plummer. President Hoovers Proclamation-Bryce Nichols. Musical Reading, lrlanders Field-Virginia Cook. Armistice Day-What a day of Gladness-a day of freedom4that which meant so much to many was commorated by the American Legion. Today we are students, tomorrow leaders of the nation. Trying to seelthe real cause of war is like standing beside a skyscraper and trying to see it. A supreme sacrifice was paid for justice, world peace, and we must support that govern' ment which is for the people and by the people. Nov. 18-judge Shinn'National Book Week. Judge Shinn talked in remembrance of Nat'l 122 Book Week. The main books in Pioneer times were the Bible, Pilgrim's Progress and a hymn book. Now there are many libraries, and to choose our lifetime books we have to follow the dictates of Nature. Nov. 25-Junior Class. Reading- Thanksgiving, Louise Mixter. Two act play- I'd Be Thankful If. Vocal duet-Lois and Thelma McCrea. Reading- A Murderer, Louise Mixter. Closing song- Star Spangled Banner. Dec. 2-The Rev. Nichols- Success The Rev. Nichols brought to us a message of success. The greatest thing in life is not to gain, but to be a success. A common genius is not a miracle but a circumstance in ordinary realms of life, and is to be treated as business man as far as the business world is concerned. In all careers there are essential causes for that success, but to live successful is a miracle of right thought. Dec. 9-The Rev. DeMuth- Slackers. Many opportunities present themselves to be had for the taking, if we take the one with energy is the one who succeeds. They say that the world owes them a living but they have done nothing to earn that living. A slacker is a menace to society and home. Cornet duet-Ernest Johansen and Richard Foust.

Young, Vocations. Mrs. Grierson, Mystery. In choosing our life work we should do the thing we like best. We may not succeed at first but if we keep the idea in mind, always striving ahead we will reach our goal some day. First we must analyze ourselves and should make the most of our leisure time. Many ideas may originate from books. Each has a talent or genius in some field and can at that place best. Mystery-Life is a mystery, it should be. If it were not there would be no joy in life. Life is referred to as a large books, each day a page, what we put in those days is to designate what kind of a book it will be-good or poor-as you make it. 123 Feb. 17-Manners fHome Roomj.
