MEDALIST AWARD EVEN UN'ro THE LEAST or THESE Too often we feel that the individual from a small community or school has little chance in competition with his more fortunate city brother and is represented as a mere Hgure head on the scale of existence. However, the 1937 Mirror Board were gratiied to know that work worthy of merit and distinction faultlessly compiled regardless of station or rank would receive its just ref ward. Daring to think that The Mirror might become distinguished even in a greater way than being honored nationally, the staff def cided to have its merits judged by the Journalf ism Department of Columbia University and entered it in national competition for medalist award to be scrutinized and tested by thirty competent judges of the Pultizer Prize group. We hoped for little and were overwhelmed with joy when word came that this august body had seen fit to recognize our accomplish' ment worthy of first rank and presented us with the highest attainable award, a gold medal. ff?-1 P ' ,gn f S259-' ' Qigfzggi mi: ffsg.-5 147' , . 2, asf l fi fQ:Z,',fi .lx, 7 Cf'aZ1l-fijgfk g A fi X M - .

In a word, Learning is that outstanding attribute of mankind which has enabled the human race to acquire civilized ways of living, and which has advanced man from the primeval state of existence to the present culture and civilization. Everything we have, all that we are, we owe to Learning. It was the ability to learn, and, proht by it, that made it possible for man to win out against physically superior adversaries in the lifefandfdeath battle for supremacy on earth. There are seven constituents of Learning-Obedience, Truth, Power, Beauty, Life, Sacrifice, and Memory. These Lamps of Learning embody all that is essential and vital in our unceasing struggle to advance, and Learning is absolutely indispensable to our civilization and existence. Therefore, it follows that our whole scheme of life revolves about these principles. Important as they are, these elements are not vague nor deeply involved, and though each contains a world of information and instruction, it is beautifully simple and sufficient. Progress and accomplishment are impossible without leadership. There must inf variably be leaders to direct and supervise the efforts of others. But leadership alone is not enough, there must also be those who obey instructions diligently. Without Obedience there is confusion, and lack of order is extremely harmful to any type cf endeavor. Truth is unquestionably a fundamental standard in our lives. Laws, treaties, contracts, friendships, none of them could exist without Truth. Power is the influence or authority which can be developed by an individual or a group. Beauty might be likened to a ray of sunlight in a dark room, it lightens our lives, helping us to forget our earthly cares and troubles. Life, of course, is the intricate pattern into which these other threads are woven. It is said, and rightly so, that we must sacrifice something for everything worth while. And thus Sacrifice manife:ts itself as a part of our lives. Memory is the invaluable asset with which we keep and utilize that which we learn. Obviously, Learning would be worth nothing to us if we could not hold it for future use. , All of the Lamps of Learning have been employed in the fabricating of this year' book: Obedience played a large part, for as in every organization there were orders to be carried out, Truth naturally had to be strictly observed, Power was obtained through wholefhearted cooperation of everybody concerned, Beauty is that quality which we have striven to achieve in our work, Life in our school providesthe subject we are presenting, Sacrifice has been unseliishly made in the production of the Mirror and to us this book perpetuates the Memory of our scholastic years. ' -Robert Stine Page 2 THBLE UF CUHTEHTS I THE LAMPS OF LEARNING All the basic fundamentals of education are em' bodied and depicted by seven lamps, namely: Beauty, Memory, Sacrifice, Life, Power, and Obedience. II TRUTH, OBEDIENCE, POWER All of our school life and activities fall within the circumference of these three lamps. III SACRIFICE, BEAUTY, LIFE Athletics and major sports supply the recreaf tional curriculum of our scholastic life, giving to the students the opportunity of indulging in healthful, body building diversions. IV MEMORY Memories are those pleasant recollections of days of yore, safely locked in that portion of our heart to which only we have the key, Y fusing these seven lamps, we have presented to you a complete and realistic picture of our school and school life. From this institution we have gained the background which is to carry us on through the future years. We hope that We have presented it to you in a pleasing and satisfying manner in order that you may scan and perceive the interworkings of this organized group, all laboring toward the goal of emerging from its doors intelligent, capable, and efficient young men and women, who will carry forth into the world some of the radiance of these seven lamps. --Phyllis Boisher Page 3 BUPUBIGHT General Editor-Carlin Abend General Manager-Alice Richmond Town Rural Business Manager ...... ........

Irene Strobel DEDIUHTIUH The advantage of truth, the ability to acquire power, the possibility of harmonious existence through obedience, the willingness of sacrifice, the appreciation of beauty, the understanding of life, and the development of memory have all been presented to mankind through learning. It is through adherence to these fundamental ideas that man has attained his prominent earthly position. Learning has definitely established the superiority of the human race, consequently, the same factor has advanced the more educated and intellectual to a yet elevated place over their less fortunate or less industrious fellow men. The great English author Ruskin, originated the 'Seven Lamps of Learning: Truth, Power, Obedience, Sacrifice, Beauty, Life and Memory, which we have adopted as our theme. After some meditation it will be observed that all the finer traits of humanity may be classified under one of these seven lamps. Therefore, the acquisition of knowledge being the basic principle underlying our scholastic efforts, we dedicate this, The Nineteen Hundred Thirty Eight Mirror to the Seven Lamps of Learning. -George jump Page 4 5 E g S 5 .1 'z 22 ls: F4 A ,e 521 3 H gs Q 2 a ? si 2 5 1 2 hi, ' 4 x ii 3 is 'Q ii 1. is 'Q a Q3 Q Z Y: S Q ,,,,,,4,,, , V ,A,,.M,,,,,M,Q ,mwzw -,,,,,,W,,m ,.Q,X,,,,,Z,,,,.,,,,,A,,,,,,L,2,,,WZ ' .WLM ,. ,f.U.,, .m,M,.f., fm H-,,,em.,f.m,w,,W4wN.,'w .f,v ,. .

Its graduates have taken their places as responsible citizens and have reflected much honor upon the school through their achievements. Students who have attended here have been notably outstanding in scholastic and athletic prowess. Adequate in every respect at the time in which it was built, it now could stand some improvements. But whatever minor faults we may find they are greatly outweighed by benelicial ones. X Through familiarity, our school building takes on added beauty to us, whether it be surrounded by Winter's snowy mantle, or enhanced by Summer's tasteful verdure. It is part of a scene which will reanimate itself to us from time to time in future years, always with pleasant, happy recollections. We can only conjecture upon the classes yet to pass through this building, their obstacles and their joys, whether they are to bring honor to the name of this schoolg and with this idle thought comes the hope that these future classes may go far in their advancement, and perhaps raise the standard of the school higher by their accomplishments. - -Robert Stine Page 6 SEVEN LAMPS OF LEARNING The Heavens were dark, lighted only by occasional streaks of burning fire that shot from the inner'most quarters of the sky, searing the air and causing first the loud crash of thunder followed by the dull ominous roar heard echoing in the distance. A cold bleak wind was blowing a gale, the sea churned in it's bed and the de' vastating waves beat merciously on the shore. A dense fog like a veil, formed a blanket over the earth while, enduring the clashing of the elements was an old light' house. Despite the perils which were riding the sea that night, the great beam from the lighthouse penetrated the fog and displayed its full radiance to warn ships or to be as a haven of refuge to those unfortunate in the hands of the sea. It is the strength of that light which by shining forth throught the storm shows the presence of succor. Light is a symbol of faith, hope, and charity. Where there is light there is heat, thus we think of it as a sign of warmth both spiritually and physically. Then let us view light as an indication of knowledge for in knowledge there is physical warmth and splendor of living. From learning. our souls are cheered, and our spirits rejuvenated. Picking up volumes of poetry and reading philosophies of beloved men we fcel strengthened, assured, and more confident of ourselves to face the facts so austere before us. It is spoken in History of the period before the Renaissance as the Dark Ages, because ignor' ance prevailed, so being the antithesis. we may freely choose light as meaning intelligence. The enormous lamp of education is made up of seven small lamps, namely Obedience, Power, Truth, Life, Memory, Beauty and Sacrifice, which when fused emit an intense light that penetrates into the darkest depths and most remote corners. This one great lamp embodies every walk of life, every field of labor, and every emotion issued forth from the heart. Taking the lamps individually let us delve into their meaning to prove their significance. Obedience is a lamp which embraces respect and honor, for without it our civilization would still be primitive. From childhood to old age, we shall be forever under superior leadership in which we must obey the commands detailed to us. It is imperative that we fulfill the orders and follow the instructions set before us in the book of the Almighty. From another sense, at the crucial moment during the insurrections of oppressed people, the balance of nations has hung on that one simple word. The very rights by which we live, unmolested in our little domains, are made secure by the obeisance to the creed, Do unto others as you would have them do unto you. Power is the light which all seek to follow. We strive, we labor, we do all within our means to attain power which is truly only self importance and influence over those that inhabit with us our little sphere. Its light has perhaps the weakest ray, yet our eyes magnify it into something of immense momentousness. This light spiritu' ally has no great value for the humble man leads as full a life as the powerful man if he but realizes life in that sense. Yet if power must be procured, as is apparent in the world of today, it can be achieved only through in' tellect. Truth is one of the most glowing lamps. It stands for the spirit of education more clearly than do all the rest. From it, all we know and believe finds its beginning. It is for truth that we attend the institutions of higher learn' ing, everyday regardless of how it is disposed, we learn some new fact that we previously did not know. It is an infallible light which if it were to wane the light of the world would perish with it. Where are the words to ex' press its magnitude? In another phase it is the light which compels people to exert every faculty to appear before the Almighty with a feeling of purity. The Lamp of Life is the lamp of experience, for, we live, we love, we die sometimes, ruefully and sometimes in supreme felicity. It is our dearest possession to do with as we please. So again does not education endow us with the faculties to use it to the best advantage, that we may be of service to humanity, either in a trivial or magnam' ous manner. We have two individual worlds in which we live, the one in which the world takes a part, the second which belongs to us alone. In the second is all our inti' mate thoughts, desires, convictions, things we dare not, nor would not reveal to the world or to which mankind has no part, but just a tiny orb in which we are self' sufficient. Without the Lamp of Life there would be nothing, for it is the root of all this vast civilization. The Lamp of Beauty is a glorious lamp. There is beauty to living, beauty to those things we clasp dear to our hearts. Is there to be found a more stirring sensation than standing upon a hill during the setting of the sun, viewing Nature in all her splendor and magnificence bring' ing to mankind the wealth of her being? Beauty we must search for, to maintain a balanced life. It is a cultural thing to be touched with delicate fingers. A flower in a room of an invalid cheers him to the utmost. Why? There is an uplifting spirit to it that no man can withstand. To find it we need only to look to Nature and to realize its grandeur, we may again look to Her. The Lamp of Memory is a sweet lamp for in it are stored all our intangible treasures. Music perhaps more than anything else inspires memory. The days that were, the things we had and cherished, gone forever except in the visions that flash before our eyes in times of reverie or meditation. The big fireplace is a lamp of memory for as we sit quietly watching the blazing fire and the curling, careless smoke, our minds call forth the scenes of the past, and a remembering smile passes over our countenence and a sense of warmth and friendliness is radiated from our souls. It is a grievous lamp for some yet no living person has not some pleasant incidents to remember, be it from his childhood or his middle age. The Lamp of Memory comforts, consoles, and pacifies in times when nothing material can do the same. Sacrifice is a lamp of extreme sorrow or happiness. The children of all nations, races or creeds, owe their very existence to the sacrifice of their parents, mothers and fathers who have given full measure of sacrifice with love and tenderness. Our life though we think not at the time when the deed is done, is nevertheless made richer by sacrifice. Many soul stirring, sympathetic Stories have been recorded in History and written from the Drama of Life, of great sacrifices made willingly to benefit 3 loved one or something near to one's heart. The spirit of the earth and fellowship exist in sacrifice, for nothing comes CO pass which can go to one extreme or another without an opposite and equal reaction. The example of the cycle of sacrifice can be comprehended and felt as one gazes at the tomb of the Unknown Soldier. There we weep Openly in sympathy for the Mother whose sacrifices caused the existence of this unidentified son and then we sense the great final sacrifice of the boy who died fighting -for his country's cause. Millions of American youths did the same thing, sacrificing the preciousness of life for a cause they believed just. The ray from the lamp of sacrifice falls on many such touching scenes. And so we have reviewed the Seven Lamps. Inter' woven they make a powerful beacon that guides to the old lighthouse the weary voyagers who have been help' lessly tossed in the stormy sea of life. May they never sink into oblivion or be allowed to dim, for they are the spirit of the world, ' the spirit of our being. The Seven ' Lamps of Learning stand, emitting forth their radiance to all those who wish to follow. May their rays and the power of God stand to guide the spirit of American youth into the right paths so that they may lead their lives to the fullest extent and carry our coun' try on to greater heights. -Carlin Abend Page 7 Name: A.

BOARD OF EDUCATION SOLVEE INTRICATE PROBLEMS Pnovmas PLAN Fon EXTENSIVE BUILDING PRoGRAn It has been so planned and designated that laymen fron all walks of life, regardless of sect, color or creed may havi a part, and a vital part in this vast endeavor called Education To better manage and give an opportunity for the manj to voice their views and opinions upon paramount subject and issues a Board of Education has been chosen by virtui of popular vote, comprising in number five, who are dulj clothed with the robes of authority to institute and put ii force those measures that are essential in providing for futur- generations that heritage of knowledge that will continue t4 place our schools first of all the land. ln order that you may place more confidence in these mei and know that they have sufficient qualifications to serve ir this capacity we have given a brief sketch of their training and activities that you may not only appreciate them as you. business or professional friends but know that the destiny o your child's education is in competent hands. Men such as these steeped in years of professional training and practice and versed in the technique of business adminis tration, having served you in time of joy, grief, pain, ant sorrow certainly are endowed with the human grace necessary to provide most economically a well rounded education foi your child, that will fit him to take his place in society. These men because of experience and training are not un aquainted with facing all kinds of problems as they come ut in life, and with expert skill, and cool logical reasoning are able to bring calm out of chaos. They must spend a grea' deal of extra time and energy conning over future policies a: well as enacting present day measures that are so often needec in emergencies. Many folks are reticent to plan much for the future ant when levies are to be voted upon turn a dull ear to entreatie: saying, look what we have now. Perhaps much money is speni on the schools, but whenever a Community rejects such issue: you will find in due time that the schools will be unable tc compete successfully with their more fortunate neighbors anc the Board, School Officials, Teachers, and Students will be condemned for not producing results favorable for competi tion. Today we are facing this very problem in the fact thai our Gymnasium, Auditorium Stage, and Grade School are al makefshift in comparison with more fortunate communitie: and we accept the criticism of the hosts knowing that if a fevs years ago, our levy had been passed we too could have taker our place at the head of the list. Friends of future education, you have a part, a vital part ii' this scheme of learning and our only plea is that you may grant us the privilege of growth rather than decay, as yol weigh and consider the issues when presented, and trust all to that Group of Men whom you have chosen, to confidently and unflinchingly provide for Montpelier that which is best Page 8 Name: GILBERT C.

Hobbies: Horticulture, Economics and Bus' mess FUTURISMS During the year 1938 we are celebratf ing the advent of the first settlers into the old Northwest Territory, of which Ohio is a part. Those brave pioneers might have remained in New England and gone along from day to day in the comparative security of established set' tlements. However today we owe our own great state of Ohio to the vision of those early New Englanders and many others of like caliber who could look beyond the smug complacency of established existence to see the vision of the future. For humanity sweeps one ward and he who would secure future satisfaction must see beyond present ease. So it is with individuals and organif zations of the present as well as with those of the past. Likewise the organif zation in which we are most interested, the school, cannot rest upon the oars of past accomplishments but must also look forward to the future, if it is not to stagnate and ultimately lose sight of its basic purpose, that of preparing boys and girls and young men and women for life. In order not to make necessary too great a break from the essential and established past this program of progress must be planned far into the future and be realized gradually from year to year. Otherwise the surf rounding forces of progress will necesf sitate more radical changes at a future date in order to compensate for past neglect. In considering the foundation stones upon which the schools of the future will be built, one of the first consideraf tions is that of curriculum. We have progressed immeasurably since the days of the classical and college prepare atory courses. The average school of Page 10 the present day has expanded its cur' riculum to include Commercial train' ing, Vocational Agriculture, Vocational Home Economics, Music and Art, and Health and Physical Education courses. However even more attention will probf ably be given in the future to the spef cific training of all youths for their probf able positions in life. Increasing recogf nition will be given to the student who will step from high school immediately into his life work. Various types of shop courses are already extending themselves from the initial large city areas to surrounding rural communities from which the city draws many of its workers. This development of the trend tof ward practical education will ultimately bring about a reversal of the tendency toward easy learning and lowered ref quirements which has accompanied the first liberalization of the curriculum. Definite preparation for the earning of a livelihood and the increasing stress and competition of the current era will def mand a generation trained to meet those stresses without protection or favor. To meet the requirements of coming days the watchword of educational training must be Take it rather than Dodge it . Increasing population and the ever developing interfdependence of social and economic groups will demand the continuance of the activity programs by which group cooperation is developed and the traditional book knowledge is translated into experience. However the program is likely to be developed to include required credits in activity work on the part of each individual in conf trast to the over specialization and over training of the few athletes, musicians, dramatists, etc., of the present day. It is needless to state that if this be a true glimpse into the school trends of the future, buildings and equipment must develop with the program in order to make it possible. Manufacturers atf tempting to produce goods with the buildings and machinery of the blackf smith shop era would soon find themf selves on the outside of the industrial picture. School buildings of the ninef ties have already proven inadequate for present educational needs and likef wise careful planning for the future will be necessary if similar situations are not to be encountered in the future. Lastly, no school program of the fuf ture can ignore that fleeting, intangible, but always sought, group spirit or the development of loyalty and love for the associations of the present and past. Without this factor any school must be but a mill for the making of wooden puppets by mechanical processes and its products can be of little value to the so' ciety which made their development possible. For, as in the past, huge buildings, the latest equipment, and the most strict observance of the latest L'trends will not guarantee a school . 4H. W. Newton Leisure Monuents Page 11 Name: H. M.

M. Shaeffer, Principal TRANSITION It is not so many years ago that a high school pupil attended school and asked few, if any questions concerning what course or subjects he should take or study. In fact there were only about sixteen or seventeen offerings, therefore he had the choice of taking what the curriculum offered or considering his education completed and find a job. He was a child or at least a near cousin of the behaviorists. That there should have been a change from that philosophy is not surprising. Surely the limitations of such a curriculum were ill adapted to the democratic philosophy or the present day pragamatism. Today we find every high school, large or small, offering as many courses of study in the curriculum as staff, class periods, and administration can muster. In fact some schools have found it quite advisable to increase the offerings and yet maintain a low per capita class cost by investing in correspondence courses. In addition to the curricular we have seen the extrafcurricular expand until at times it seems to take the place of the parent. That such work is worthwhile is not to be questioned. The point in question is how large a dose should the patient take. The pendulum has moved from the very conservative position of the past to, it would seem, an almost radical liberalism of the present, until we are again questioning what is grain and what is chaff. Various committees of local, state, and national char' acter are trying to determine an answer to the question. It is not an answer and yet, out of the complacency of yesterday has arisen the conf fusion of today from which it is to be hoped there may emerge the practicalness of doing, the emotionalism of invention, and the genius of control, our material which we have so needlessly wasted, humanity, so neglected and forgotten, and spiritual, which though denied will rise again.

Thus in a few inadequate words we try to express the appreciation of the entire student body for the many tasks performed by Mr. Strayer which adds to our daily comfort. - Robert Montgomery. SCHOOL SECRETARY A necessary cog in making the wheels of the school run smoothly is the Secretary, Laura Bevier. She is' well liked by all the students for her jovial manner and friendly disposition. Besides adaptivef ly performing her neverfending duties, she finds time to aid the students in their lessons, and goes about lending a helping hand wherever she can, -Kathryn Bratton GIFTS TO THE SCHOOL 1937-38 Generosity is one of the greatest assets of man' kind. We, as a school, have been exceptionally fortunate this year in receiving the true support of our fellow townsmen. Through the kindness of the Montpelier citizens, we have one of the best athletic fields in our locality. Donors to this cause were the Wa.bash Railroad -goal posts and cindersg Local Light Company- lightsg Miller and Baxter Co.-light poles, Lockf hart E? Kizer-score board, Boone Lumber Co.- guard markers, Foust's Drug Store, Cottage Inn, Snyder Bros., and Ted Carr-football programs: Mrs. N. G. Nash Ted Carr--basketball programs, and Dedication flowers--F. E. Beach and Tingle Floral Shops. Improvements in our school equipment include: Two new busses which, with the one of last year, afford free transportation to all pupils in the Mont' pelier area, complete refurnishing of the Home Economics Department, including a new floor covering and six new kitchen units, each composed of a stove, cabinet, table, and sink. Needed linens and other equipment were fur' nished by the Mother's Club. Three Royal and two Underwood typewriters were added to the commercial department. A number of worth while magazines have been contributed to our library collection through the courtesy of Mrs. Ira Hoover, Mr. Elmer Strayer, Mr. John Bower, and Miss Helen Park, and through subscriptions made by the school. These include: Life, Time , Rotarian , Sports Afield , National Sportsman , Science News' Letter . The Class of '38 is grateful to Mr. Riggard for the large hall picture that he gave the class. Mrs. N. Gf Lash will present her yearly gift to the graduates of the class of 1938. It is little things that count, and the seniors are indeed appreciative of the kindness and goodwill which Mrs. Lash has so indelibly portrayed. -Isabelle Kollar, Giftorian Page 18 Alice Richmand, Treasurerg Theo Manley, Vice President, Margaret Ellen Teal, Secretaryg Miss Burns, Advisor, George Jump, President. FIGURATIVELY OUR GOAL IS DESTROYED SENIOR SPIRIT REIUVENATED Being of a common family, it is only fitting and proper after twelve years of close association that we should review the past in all its vicissitudes of success and failure, happiness and sorrow, which have been a vital part in cementing together our existence. My memory of the earliest steps of the successive twelve, seems to be unduly dimmed by the intervening years, in fact it is with difficulty that I recall incidents of our first adventure as students in the primary grades. As the years followed swiftly one upon another, the original class was constantly diminished, but the survivors were frequent' ly recruited by new arrivals, the old comrades being for a large part easily forgotten by our youthful minds, and the new being rightly accepted as part of us. Upon completion of each one of the twelve steps, we scorn' fully regard the recently quit class as being definitely beneath our mental capacity, yet the approaching new one towered above us as an unsurmountable obstacle. Fortunately we have accomplished each of these steps with' out a break in our stride, rapidly elevating ourselves to the def sired position. Those below us we regard with contemptuous in' difference, those above, with the solemn respect of a distinctly superior strata in our social order. As we gradually assimilated the knowledge of the ages and the admonishments administered us by the faculty, the frivolity and gaiety of youth became more subdued and was displaced by a new-born sense of dignity. Social functions and minor business enterprises began to instill in us the seriousness of life. A slight inkling of the future began to take a difinite shape in our minds, not necessarily with misgivings or forebodings, but with the knowledge that the class of thirtyfeight could overcome any situation successfully. Various traits concerning each member of our class began to distinctly characterize us, scholastically, athletically, and in the extra-curricular activities as well. To somewhat retrace our steps, I refer again to the momenf tous step of casting off the elementary shell and entering upon the new field of High School. Here, I must confess we realized a slight difference, our self' confidence wavered, not externally, but nevertheless it was inf wardly apparent. Descending from the supreme heights which we had for a year enjoyed as eighth graders we were demoted to the some' how lowly depths, as we were inclined to view it, of Freshmen, We were regarded with a haughty but jovial contempt by the upperfclassmen as we were a fallible lot. We were, however, soon assimilated and eventually accepted to form a highly com' patable relationship, resulting in four years of harmonious ex' istence with our new made rural companions. XVe have been ably represented during our four years of high school in such activities as tract, football, basketball, HifY, Girls Reserve, F. F. A., language clubs, band, and student council, achieving in this period no mean record. However, in our Junior year we were confronted with our first real test. Being presented with the opportunity to display our dramatic and social ability respectively in the Junior Class Play and the Junior-Senior Banquet. each excelling our greatest expectations. The Senior year found us ably prepared to fill the positions of our predecessors, not only in required scholastic subjects but in that vast enterprise of compiling the 1938 Mirror, as well as athletics and numerous outside contests. We were given an op' portunity socially to display our formal manners and finery at the Annual Board Formal and eagerly await that final event, the IuniorfSenior banquet. Having at last become Seniors, the zenith of all our youthful ambitions and attainments, we find the acquisition of this dis' tinction detracts much from its attractiveness. We are not necesf sarily disillusioned, but our goal has been destroyed figuratively, and it is essential that another be provided. The business world or advanced education offers splendid opportunities and we are ready to accept or challenge them. Life now presents a more serious aspect and we feel the prof tective forces so long assisting us, about to crumble, and leave us to fight our individual battles with the cry ringing in our cars that Knowledge Conquers All. -George jump Page 19 At Left GEORGE S.

RADIATES HER KNOWLEDGE The Class of '38 is fortunately able to meet not only the social and athletic requirements of the school, but also scholastic, which is in reality the primary and essential reason for high school at' tendance. Since knowledge conquers all there are among through superior ambition, initiative, intelligence and sacrifice have attained a scholastic rating which entitles them to a coveted position on the honor roll. This is an honor not easily achieved, no laxiety of effort is permissable. On the contrary many sacrifices, social and perhaps even to the impair' ment of ones health are necessary.

TO THE CLASS OF 'THIRTY-EIGHT It is to you, my classmates I write these lines today, As you prepare to leave these halls To journey on life's highway.

You may not succeed in your first attempt. But don't ever give it up, just pitch right in and try again And you will win the cup. Dear God, wilt thou watch o'er us As we go through life's great gate, That no one shall disgrace the name Of our class of 'ThirtyfEight. -Kathryn Bratton. Page 29 1' ..-f WHAT HO!

As I am secretary to that great scientist, Nelson Bloom, I had an op' portunity to go to the exhibition of a new invention last evening. The invention was a device for looking around the world and see' ing various places of interest. After the lecf ture given by Professor Stine the inventor, every one had opportunity to try out the machine. Being an old friend of Professor Stine's, he let me try it out with the rest of the scientists. Since we were classmates in M. H. S. we decided to look up the rest of the class of thirtyfeight. The first person we saw was a shortfstocky man with streaming brown hair. Who do you think it was? None other than the imf mortal John Nichols, a great poet whose career was inspired in High School by Miss Burns, his English teacher. Flash! News from all over the world brought to you by Dick Hall, sports com' mentator on the Wheaties hour. Next we see Melba Tate who is now sec' retary to the multifmillionaire Guy Connolly. And who lights all the lamps now? None other than David Barnhart, a second Edison. Across the ocean we go to France. Of all things! Who do you suppose we find over here? Doris Beamont who is the first woman minister to France. While in France we see in a restaurant Donald Davis and Charles Courtney making a world tour with Shep Fields and his or' chestra. Back in the United States we find Carlin Abend a Professor in English and raising mushrooms as a hobby. The biggest market for her mushrooms she finds in Waunetta Hoag's restaurant along the coast called 'LThe Sailor's Inn. Of all people James Cox and Kenneth Cunningham run a dude rance out in Calif fornia. We look around the ranch and see Virginia Darr and Isabelle Kollar who are resting up on this ranch away from the hus' tle and bustle of the city. My word or should I say words? Margaret Dilworth and Marcella Pike are compiling a new standard dictionary. I had better watch my English. Have you heard? Margaret Teal and Ken' neth Doenges, great cinema lovers, received the Academy Award for their performance in When Love is Young. While we are out here in Hollywood we might as well look around a bit and see what we can find. First we see Vivian Hauck who has replaced Max Factor, famous authority on makefup. Watch the birdie says Raymond Herb, who is a photographer on the M. G. M. set. We travel through the wardrobe department and whom do we meet but Dora Lee Johan' sen, Margaret Jackson and Dorothy Youngs. They are costume experts on the proper dress for the proper occasion. The sun is just sinking as we leisurely scale a picturesque hill outside Hollywood. On its crest we see two figures and an artist's easel sharply outlined against the brilf liant background. Coming closer, we find that the distinguishedflooking artist is George Jump. His subject is a gypsy maiden, en' chantingly modeled by Virginia Tretter. She is that graceful mannequin in the exclusive dress shop owned by Laurice Kirk and Isa' belle Kollar. A We look up and see three stunt planes with none other than Eldon Joice, Wayne Lougheed and Denver Lee at the controls. They are called the Three Mad Musketeers. Harry Tressler comes strolling down Holly- wood's Boulevard and we follow him to a door inscribed Harry Tressler--attorneyfatf law. My, my, from the way he walked, you would think he was Chief Justice of the Su- preme Court. We leave Hollywood and in going back East we see a huge chicken ranch with Ralph Starr and Louise Messner as proprietors. Page 30 As we get nearer to Montpelier we see two figures sprinting down Route 20 followed by a decreipt Ford driven by Rosemary New' man. The sprinters are Makley, greatest wo' man athlete, and Theo Manley, world's great' est football coach. Rosemary hints that there is a romance between Makley and Manley. Wouldn't that be something? As we reach 'Pelier we stop at Louden's Department Store, to see if we can find any of the wellfknown bargains. We are greeted by Elnor McCamis, who is now the owner of this great institution. As we go by Wright's Bakery, we see Mary Kirk, who is the head baker, her husf band sells the products. We leave Montpelier and look in on New York. Mary Young runs a large hotel and does all her own correspondence solely through the aid of the typing she learned in M. H. S. We look in the Gold Room where she broadcasts, and find Doris Waters' ton as hostess. In Sara Prosser's column she states that Doris is a sure double for Luella Parsons. Speaking of Sara - she took over Walt Winchell's column, and now makes Bernie, burn. As guests in Young's hotel we find Dana Northup, Dorothy Osborn, Josephine Pignaf taro, and Maxine Skinner, celebrities who have reached the top in the social world. Flash! We have just heard the most asf tounding news: Tony Pignataro gets his ex' ercisfe and keeps in sprinting condition by running up and down the stairs of the Em' pire State Building, Could it be for publicity, too? I wonder. As we glance in on Columbia University we recognized Kathryn Bratton as French teacher, doing very nicely too. From a little further research we find that she is creating a brilliant career for herself in this field. Have you heard of the two great collectors? They gathered their idea from Mark Twain's story The Canvasser's Tale. One of them is Robert Montgomery. He collects stamps from all parts of the world and is said to be the greatest enthusiast on stamps the world has ever known. The other collector has a select list of noted person's autographs. He started this while in High School by collectf ing orchestra leader's autographs. Have you guessed who it is? James Trautman! We find Eldon Hawkins the only one who stuck by farming. We find him on a large dairy farm which supplies all the milk for Margaret Lykin's Memorial Hospital. By the way, did you know that Margaret was a great surgeon? She built this hospital and is doing very well by herself. As we look over the country we see a sign Twin Oaksi. We decide to look in and lo! and behold! whom do we see but Ethel Eager, Marcelle McCrea, Odella Rigg, Wauneta Wisman and Viola Jackson who own this resort. We look around and find Ethel in charge of the skating rink, Marceile cares for the flowers, Waunetta and Odella are in charge of the dining room, and Viola com' piles all the literature on this wellfknown summer resort. History repeats itself! Another King has abdicated his throne! Ira Kilpatrick, presif dent of the Ford plant, gave up his Throne for love. His fiance, Alice Richmond - Wallis Simpson - prefers airplanes to motor cars and demands that Ira sell his share of stock and buy airplanes or else! Richard Rummell, motorcycle speed demon has just broken another world's record! As we go on our way, our eyes are at' tracted to a trim white cottage in Garrett, Indiana, and in the garden we recognize our old classmate, Genevee Stuller, who is now happily married. At last, the two expert football coaches are working together! We see Elbert Thompf son and Maurice Strayer are coaching the boys at Ohio State University. Down in Akron, Ohio, we see Archiel Yarger who is constructing an airship that will surpass everything in the airplane field, including the China Clipper. We now want to go in for a bit of music, and whom do we hear but the familiar strains of that great orchestra, Wesley Jackson and his Melody Men, starring Ladyne Keller as tap dancer. After our thrilling experif ence of looking up old class' mates, Professor Stine, Mr. Bloom, and I sat, silent, each reflecting the strange tricks which fate had played. -Phyllis Boisher. Page 31 1.

ONE DOWN WITH MORE TO GO Fortune may have smiled upon us, in giving so many opportunities, but the Senior Class of 1938 has proved itself worthy in grasping these opportunities and turn' ing them into achievements. George Jump stands alone in gaining the outstanding achievement of the year. His is the singular honor of being the author of a nationally rated essay in the American Legion Essay Contest. Alice Richmond was the high point seller of Animals in both 1937 and 1938. She was the first girl ever chosen to serve as the General Manager of the Annual. James Trautman has achieved the rank of Scout. He won first prize in Clarniet solo at the Fair. Maxine Skinner has been a member of the 4fH Club for nine years. She was awarded a trip to the Club Congress. Odella Mae Rigg has also been active in 4fH Club work, winning a trip to Detroit. Kathryn Bratton proved herself to be an able essayist by placing third in the American Legion Essay Contest. Raymond Herb and Elbert Thompson have received training in the Citizens Military Training Camp. Upon Margaret Ellen Teal was bestowed the title of Beauty Queen for the 1937 Horse Show at Bryan. Sara Betty Prosserls essay was selected as one of the thrce best among those of the Senior girls in thc Wil' liams County American Legion Essay Contest. John Nichols evidently dove for and really obtained the first place in a local diving contest. Turning to the scholastic side. we find that Viola jackson attained fourth place in the English Test at Bowling Green. Helen Holloway placed second in the General Science Test at Bowling Green and second in Bookkeeping in the Commercial Contest at Defiance. Wayne Lougheed represented our school in the State Scholarship Test, placing fourth in Williams County. Carlin Abend, Kenneth Doenges, and Dora Lee Johan' sen also participated in this test. Others outstanding in 4fH Club Work are Vivian Hauck, Denver Lee, Doris Clinger, Louise Messner, and Wauneta Wisman. Thus we feel that we are justly proud of the achieve' ments of our accomplished and versatile class. However, we will not allow this success to impair the way for fu' ture advancement. In short, we have one down with more to go. - -Dora Lee Johansen Page 32 FIFTY-FOURTH ANNUAL COMMENCEMENT Baccalaureate Sermon .,.,....,,.......................,..., Rev.

Page 33 FAREWELL I look at my classmates with whom I have grown, I pick out the ones who have brightly shone Like stars guiding us through the past, And I wish only that this would last. That our childhood again we could live And that God our youth would back to us give. Those many happy hours we have spent together Will linger in our memories forever and ever. Yet now the time has come to depart, A great longing enters my heart That sometime in the days to come We could meet and learn what each with his life has done. Through twelve years our friendships were staunchy mold And as the years did quickly unfold These became dearer than can be expressed And we'er thankful for the friends with whom we were blest. United we've stood these twelve years through We have decided what best we can do. In certain classes some would prevail While others of us worked hard not to fail. But we've studied and faltered and found each mistake That we might prepare ourselves to take Our place in a world filled with laughter and sorrow Doing what we can today and looking to to' morrow. No longer will our classmates by our side stand Ready and willing to lend a helping hand. But upon us alone our future will rest And each alone must do what he thinks best. Then is the time we will look back with regret For before us will flash visions we had seemed to forget, And we'll wish again for those carefree days of yore And wish we had them back just once more. So to my classmates I hold so dear in my heart I say Good Luck and sadly depart. -Carlin Abend WHY I WASN'T VALEDICTORIAN Sometimes our parents scowl, our teachers fret and the community cries, why spend so much money on such poor scholastic attainments? My dear friends, did you ever for a moment think that we as young people are being cheated of our birthright, the right and privilege of succor until we are of age to meet the responsibilities of citizenship. Do you know that most of us are working on an 18 hour schedule in order to take advantage of this thing called education and we challenge our readers to find any class of peoiple who are more delighted and more anxious to succee . Do you realize that even though you maintain great institutions of learning and provide elaborate courses of study that a vast number of the students are as the beggar child looking through the bakery window at the tempting and delicious dainties, but dare not partake of some for he has not the coprer cent necessary for its purchase and with saddened heart he trudges wearily on is way. Yes, we live in a nation where education is provided for all but at what price, dear friend, what price. Yes, magnificent edifices, elaborate equipment, luxurif ous furnishings, wellfinformed teachers, should make for something more than mediocrity in scholastic attainments. I agree, but dear friend you have failed to take into conf sideration that we have other than our school tasks to perform. I am certain that it would almost be heaven itself if an edict should be posted that every child of school age was a guest of society until he was at least eighteen years of age and that all necessities of life until that time should be provided, lifting from him the burdens and responsif bilities of helping in the home and eking out a mere ex' istence rather than having time to avail himself of the training necessary for life. This, my reader is a momenf tous problemg and students would love to take part in bands, clubs, athletics andall other desirable pursuits fur' nished in the school curriculum, but the tasks outside monopolize every minute and we, weary and tired can make but a poor record even in scholastics. Yes, by vivrtue of the law we must be in school, but when mind and body are exhausted with perhaps ten hours of strenuous labor before the day begins then I'm certain you cannot help but marvel at the stamina that youth shows to attain that thing called education. Society has failed to realize that life must be sustained and little does it know of the tremendous sacrifices that go on day after day in the majority of homes attempting an existence commensurate with their station in life. Yes, I am a student with the average amount of intel' ligence, and can readily interpret my lessons when time permits but I too feel it my responsibility to assist my family and help to provide needed necessities for the younger children. Almost as long as I can remember I have assisted at odd jobs in the neighborhood earning a few pennies a day, and since I have been in High School have earned sufficient to pay for my clothing and books, and still add to the family income. Needless to say, I have had to give up companions and friends, chances to participate in many activities, as well as social functions, but they said, youth must have an education, and so that rightful heritage to enjoy life was almost totally destroyed in my effort to get a diploma. How many of my readers I wonder would have the energy to work all day and then perhaps three or four days of the week go out into homes to act as nurse maid to the little ones from perhaps eight o'clock until the very wee hours of the morning, or go home and do the fam' ily washing or ironing for four or five hours, or get up at four every morning even though the mercury hovers around nothing and have your morning paper handy for you perusual at breakfast, or perhaps work from 4 to 8 on a milk route so that your cereal mightbe more appetizf ing, or again arise at 6 and sweep out the store room and assist in getting displays ready for the day or perhaps as- sist at the bakery all thru the night that the staff of life might be yours. Numerous indeed are the night time jobs, where most of the students are employed not at double pay but a mere pittance, so we may share that thing called education. Certainly if we have been found wanting in our mental exertion, it is not because we are weak but rather we have too soon been forced to shoulder the re- sponsibilities of life. Yes, we are about to graduate, we know that our scholastic record has been impaired greatly and we will not receive that 'Well Done' of the master, neither can we go forth with a smile on our lips that we are now ready to enter the portals of the world, for we have been caddies for a long time and have tasted some of the bitterness there, for we have long been paying our debt to society, even though tender in years, we feel with Shelley that if we should quit the stage tomorrow we would have indeed contributed our share to society even though we were not blue ribbon winners. -A Page from the Book of Life Page 34 Seated: Arlene Fisher, Virginia Watts, Mr. Faben, Advisor.

CLAN OF '39 INCREASED RAPIDITY TOWARD INDUSTRIAL WORLD And there came forth from the countryside surrounding the ancient village of Montpelier the Clan of '39, It was noted that amongst this chaos were many burly youths and numbered fair dam' sels, Great possibilities having been viewed in this diverse assembly, teachers and scholars of wisdom undertook the education thereof. And it came to pass that this motley throng entered into the edu' cational palace which in this day is served by the reign of good King Newton. With tumult the shrine of learning was filled with this novel throng. Much confusion was noted amid this new ex' perience. And it came to pass after not many days, hosts of diverse studies overwhelmed us. After many a dark and harrassed battle the new tribesf men submitted themselves to the ancient rule wherewith grades would be received for thoughts and work rendered. And amid these same condif tions two years of the increasing of knowledge have passed, interrupted only by short, but baffling conflicts with the taskmaster, examinations, and long periods of sleep commonly called vacations. Now in this year of '38 the following of the same proceedure has been accomplished. Under the special regime of Master Faben and our most excellent official staff consisting of George Copef land, John Spencer, Virginia Watts, and Arlene Fisher the journey toward the industrial world has been speeded. Under the guidance of said inf structor a very intriguing play, The Charm School was delivered unto the audience thereof. For further showing of this tribe a most diverting assembly program was exhibited to the numerous 'Pelierites. And the time came to pass that a fond and sorf rowful farewell was bade to the tribe of '38 by means of the traditional Banquet of the Junior and Senior clansmen. Thereat everyone hopped and ate. Moreover they hopped and hopped and ateg and hopped and ate to the financial embarrassment of our fine clan. However the locks of wisdom of both boys and girls of this motley tribe were soon scalped be' tween the baskets with the ball thereof in a strugf gle between interclassmen. However great wisdom and skill was achieved by aforesaid burly youths and fair maids in athf letic skills of basketball and football as well as in track events. Cur days of study, being enriched by these events, have proceeded with great rapidity and we have again encountered examinations with very few having been proven guilty of laziness or nef glectfulness. Let us all shout our acclaim for our worthy leaders and hope to make our year of departure f1939j far superior to this worthy year in order that we may face the Promised World of futurity with unscathed hearts. -Myrtle Knecht Page 35 2 S56 ft: x?2 '2 f-1 F iii fa wif' F135 J A95 xl:-l tml, L.. ii , .32 in gi el V rl!

This smoothness of motion is not acquired by little practice but it takes years to develop. Much time is spent in intensive practice so that all muscles coordinate in perfect timing and rhythmn. The jumping of the hurdles is begun by exerting much effort first on low structures and gradually approaching the higher barriers. The Sophomore Class is much like the athlete, for they received their training and knowledge of the rules of life in eight years of elementary work. The first hurdle that they attempted to clear was the Freshman year in High School. This first year of inf struction was not hard to bear for they were ushered into the upper ranks of the school by receptions, parties, and good fel' lowship. Perhaps even caused the more capable and experien runners to smile a bit because of their awkwardness. But th incidents caused not their spirits to waver, but only instilled them the enthusiasm to show these capable ones their true abil Now in their Sophomore year they have proven themsel competent and well fitted for the position that they have takl Various activities have been engaged in throughout the yt Mary Lett was selected as the Sophomore Class attendent to Queen during the dedication of the new athletic fieldg a li loween Masquerade Party was held at which the object was guess who each might be as they appeared masked before tht At their Chapel program they presented Major Mistake which the talent of the Class was brought out in a humor Page 38 ryl Knepper Wilmer Kollar Donald Krill Lillian Lykins Lowell McCrea .ene Maier Orville Manley Delores Mekus Merclyn MichaelCharles Mick anette Mick Denver Miller Dorothy Miller E.

Even at this early date they are comprehend' :re elected to represent the Sophomore class in the Student Juncil, The time has approached when the individual personalities of e students are beginning to be affected, Each is turning into e particular field he deems himself most adapted to. This has Jrked an influenoe on class studies. They have reached the iddle of their amassing of fact and materials which are going be the mainstay of their future life. After thinking it over, the race thus far has been unexpectedly sy and not as strenuous as they thought, but in a larger sense probably would have been unjustly difficult if it were not for e urging, cheering, and praising done by the teachers who are lxious to see every one clear the second hurdle on the track to ccess, but they are also aware of that Higher Power which has me to their assistance in times of need and they bow reverf .tly before Him whose hand has thus far directed them into ing the necessity of an education and are grateful to those who have provided it for them. They are looking into the future with anticipation and are prepared to accept repeatedly and willingly the duties of the upper classmen. Their spirits will be forever kept high if they retain before them the immortal words of Holmes who wrote: Build thee more stately mansions, O my soul, As the swift Seasons roll! Leave thy lowfvaulted past! Let each new Sample, nobler than the last Shut thee from heaven with a dome more vast, Till thou at length are free, Leaving thine outgrown shell by life's unresting set! With these thoughts in mind they go forth to break the records of the forefgoing class in their jumping of the third high hurdle. -Doris Hart Page 39 G if 5 Es CLASS OFFICERS Bob Alexander Willard Allen Leon Altaffer John Arrick Lois Arthi Lee Powers, President Joe Allen, Secretary D, Baker Willene Bauer M.

Headley Cleo Hepker John Herb THE MELODY TAKES FORM THE FIRST CHORD RESOUNDS A musician studied for eight years to realize the ambition of becoming a great organist. His desire was to do an act of kind' ness to mankind by touching the strings of their hearts merely by pressing the keys with his dexterous and nimble fingers. This is similar to the preparatory work that we did in the elementary grades so that we would be able to go forth among men and be of service. With the basic fundamentals well in mind the Musician was qualified to play for the first time before a large audience. The day came and his nerves were tense as a result of great inward emotion. Slowly he climbed to the organ loft and took his place. The moment for which he diligently worked had arrived. just as the organist hesitated over the keys of his instrument. so did we, the freshmen class of nineteen hundred and thii eight, hesitate as we entered the doors of the high school. marked the beginning of a new epoch in our lives. We W about to start a course of training which was to- help us find 1 places in life.

Think if you will the burden that rests upon the shoulders of those who first attempt to keep that wriggling mass of humanity disciplined for several hours each day, and teach them his first habits of study. With the years we notice what rapid advancement has been made, and realize what latent talents have been developed because of the well informed teachers and modern methods of inf struction. Yes, education for all is a marvelous thing, and gives each child an equal chance at least through the years of elementary training, to taste of experiences that may never be his to enjoy materially, but will be a bright spot in the book of memory. The elementary school can well boast of a splendid organization that is capable and able to solve the many problems of the day as well as giving to the child the fundamentals that make for a well' rounded education. We deeply regret that because of quarantine and the continued absence of many from school, that we were forced to eliminate the grade picture section. 1938 Annual Board .... .. gp s- SA .

J. GLOW BRIGHTLY! YE FAIR LAMPS OF KNOWLEDGE True happiness is that farfoff goal which every man strives to reach. Some, attempt to find it through the channel of riches, others through the comely and homely avenue of a clean wholesome life in some secluded nook, while still others attempt to gain that end through pompous and sophisticated living. When this goal is reached the next step is to strive toward that luminous goal-power. Every person has, at one time or another, envied the influential man, and all have craved supremacy in one sphere or another, Some are over dominant in their own sphere and lose much of their true happiness because of that antagonistic spirit. Power can be more easily understood when loooking through the windows of Truth and Obedience. Truth pref sents power of the mind. By forcing the truths, whether they be bitter or sweet, we obtain a richer aspect of life. No one has ever escaped successfully the painful Truth. Much pain and grief has come as a result. If truth should be unpleasant, for one reason or another, we should attempt to be strong enough to accept the bitter with the sweet. We have the infinite promise that one shall never have to endure more than he is able. By building up a store of Truths concerning our lives, in time of need we shall find these very helpful. Repuf tations are created from this force. It is easily determined whether a reputaf tion is respectful and honorable or cloudy or easily obscured just from the truths made known from time to time. The other window through which we can see life is Obedience. Every person has set up Ideals toward which they earnestly strive. Obedience to these Ideals at all times, enhances liv- ing. Noble men have fallen because they failed to obey their Ideals and Standards rigidly enough. They took their eyes from the farfoff goal which was furnishing them light and instant' ly stumbled in blindness, never ceasing until they had fallen too far to ever assume that former position of honor. This window need never become ob' scure or evasive. It is within our power to keep this window clear at all times. We are able to see the nobler side of life by retaining a clear View and a clear view is retained by never ceasing to worship at the shrines of Truth and Obedience. Every man requires something to worshipg something to pour out his love to. Man was created with an abundant store of Love. It was meant that he should worship at some Shrine, that he should be so enveloped in thoughts of his Ideal that all vain thoughts of self should be completely erased. If man thought of himself and his work too much he would either commit suicide or attempt to become dictator, either of which would be disastrous if every man, woman and child in the universe attempted it. Therefore, the Creator simplified the situation simply by givf ing every human something to worship, something to forget himself in. Life is a complex situation revolving about all these facts. First of all, we are given Life. To this sacred gift we must add interest through the avenues of Truth and Obedience to Ideals. Power follows to him who sees himself as others see him. In the course of a Lifetime we must set up our Ideals in Truth and master perfect Obedience to them. -Marcella Pike Page 44 Mr. Shaeiier, Tommy Claero, Helen Cummins, Ralph Flinchbaugh, Myrtle Kenecht, John Nichols, Presidentg Alice Richmond, Secretaryg Dick Hall, Vice Presidentg Anna -lean Eberly, Vincent Bordner, Mr. Newton. STUDENT COUNCIL Dreams are playthings in the minds of many, and their realization is always to be looked upon with pride and joy. With some such reflection in our minds a long wished for dream was realized. We organized what is known as a Student Council. The council is made up of nine members. A boy and girl from each of the four grades and the president who is chosen from the Senior Class. The Freshmen members are Tommy Calero and Helen Cummins. The Sophomores7Anna Jean Eberlyg the Juniors - Myrtle Knecht, Vincent Bordner, and Senior members-Alice Richmond, Dick Hall, and john Nichols, who was chosen President by popular vote. Dick Hall.

CREATIVE ABILITY REACHES ZENITH IDEAS comcrnis WITH PENMANSI-IIP We the members of the Senior Class and cofwork' ers, whose efforts have produced this book, are at the final stage of one phase of our life. It is the period of education which terminates now, leaving us to conf tinue our various ways, not as a class, but each upon his own initiative. As a final gesture to have some- thing tangible to remain, when we are gone, this annual is materialized. In our class, as in every group, distinctive talents and abilities are present. An organization is effected in order that these abilities are utilized to the utmost in each department. Those in charge of the organization have displayed commendable skill and diligence, prov' ing themselves worthy of their positions. There are, in all, more than seventyffive students engaged in working upon this book. Large as this staff may seem the labor involved is sufficient to demand industrious pursuit of duty on the part of everyone concerned. Since this book is to be our last contribution to our school, we naturally place special emphasis upon correctness in its formation. Its composition will ref LITERARY EDITORS Page 46 flect directly 'upon those who had a hand in its make ing, and realizing this, we have taken pains in our tasks so that we may be able to look with pride upon the finished book. Of course, we cannot hope to achieve perfection or even approach that shining pinnacle, but we do earnestly hope that this volume may meet with your kind and indulgent approval. Whatever degree of quality our work may reach, it represents long hours of exacting, ambitious and en' thusiastic effort. Behind every paragraph and page lies more conscientious detail than one might suppose. Each one contributed in a specific way to the construction of this annual. Each student has a certain task to per' form. If they do this successfully, a competent annual can be attained. Our reward for this expenditure of time and care will come to us in future years, when, perhaps, we shall look again upon the pages we have written, and the priceless memories of school days will be recalled. -Alice Richmond, General Manager Seated: Marcella Pike, Margaret Dil- worth, Ethel Eager, Sara Betty Prosser, Rosemary Newman.

OUR FOUNDATION FOR AN ANNUAL To the student, the value of this publication lies not only in its sentimental association, but in a large degree consists of the training and experience gained in working upon it. We have attained an altogether different viewpoint, and henceforth, when we shall look upon a volume, we shall fully realize the measf ure of effort expended upon it. Noteworthy in the production of this book has been the efficient functioning nf the Business Depart' ment. As in all books and volumes, the most evident work in the finished product is that of the literary staff. Important as they are, their writing would be useless were it not for the diligent, unsung laboring of those who must attend to the allfimportant finan- cial matters. -Kenneth Doenges This year twenty-four Seniors advanced a step in their stenographic record. In the classroom we have been striving to raise our speed. Margaret Ellen Teal has proved herself worthy to represent us at Bowling Green.

THE BEAUTY AND CHARM OF WOMANHOOD DEVELOPS FORMS BALANCE Fon BUSY LIVES In striving to reach nearer the highest goal, perfec- tion, the Girl Reserve Members find in closing this year's work that they are a bit better acquainted with God's plan and his people. Thus ends another session of the Girl Reserve Club. a small sister to the Young Womans' Christian Assof ciation. For several years this club, for girls interested in religious work, has held its place in our High School. Not only do we deal with the religious part of life but we discuss the ever present problems in the minds of our fellow members. In this manner we are aided by the advice or decision of our colleagues. Vx7e aim to improve the social, religious, and moral character of each girl by having her come in contact with the ideals and standards of our club. GIRL RESERVE CFFICERS Dorothy Youngs, Arlene Fisher, Kathleen Nichols, Carlin Abend, Miss Sharp, Waunetta Hoag, Phyllis Boisher, Alice Richmond, Doris Hart, Sr. This year we,elected for our officers: President, Car' lin Abendg Vice President, Waiiiictta Hoag: Secretary, Phyllis Boisher: Treasurer, Dorothy Youngs, Program Chairman, Alice Richmond, Social Chairman, Doris Hart, Sr.: Membership Chairman, Arlene Fisher, Service Chairman, Kathleen Nichols. Vie shall give the duties of the most important off ficers. It is the duty of the President to preside at all meetings and carry our members successfully through the year. This is a task of great responsibility as well as one that requires much time and labor. At each meeting the secretary freshens our minds by reading the minutes of the previous meetings. The treasurer keeps an account of all funds paid into the club and those paid out for expenditures. The program chairman has the most difficult task. Her's is to prepare programs for the various meetings that are suitable to the needs of the club and to the occasion. The membership chairman is to search for new members as one hunts a lost sheep. She extends her hand as a welcome to those who need a guiding light in their respective road of life. The social chairman plans our social work, It has always been customary for the Girl Reserve Club, at Thanksgiving and Christmas, to give filled baskets to those in need. The girls find it a great enjoyment to help others that have less than they. At the beginning of the year, girls were brought into the organization by an impressive ceremony, and with a pledge to themselves to be faithful to the club, they began four of the most eventful years of their lives. Our bifmonthly meetings, every other Monday, gives the members an opportunity to display their own respective talent. With the joint sponsership of the HifY Boys and the Girl Reserves, we each year give an informal party Page 50 First Row: Betty Brim, Marjorie Best, Willene Bauer, Dorothy Fenicle, Jeanette Trautman, Mary Lett, Helen Yoder, Virginia Parnham, Joan Best, Emoile Echler.

At this year's party we were entertained with the initiation of the Freshman class, dancing and other various games. Later in the evening light refreshments were served. It was evident that the Freshmen showed themselves worthy of their name. The custom has been for the Girl Reserve members to give a chapel program. In these programs we strive to give one that should typify our organization in form and in character. This year the chapel at Christmas time was given by the Girl Reserves and HifY Boys. Early in the spring, on the evening of March the thirtieth, the HifY Boys and Girl Reserves found much enjoyment in a Kid Party. Each individual found himself to have had a most enjoyable time. Beside our meetings we take part in outside ac' tivities. This year several of the girls attended the Annual Convention of the Girl Reserves of Northwestern Ohio held at Fayette. They found this interesting and help' ful to them as well as bringing home new ideas for the betterment of our organization. Also it was our privilege this year to become mem' bers of the National League of the Young Womans' Christian Association. At the close of each year, in order to bid farewell to the Senior girls, we sponser a Mother and Daughter banquet. This is an attempt to show our mothers our deep appreciation of their never ceasing, careful guidance through the starting period of our life. Now, 'with regret, the curtain falls on another sucf cessful year of the Girl Reserves organization whose insigna is the blue triangle and whose members are girls that seek better living through clean living. -Maxine Skinner GIRL RESERVE PROGRAM OCTOBER 18, 1937 Installation of officers: President, Carlin Abend Vice President, VJaunetta Hoag Secretary, Phyllis Boisher Treasurer, Dorothy Youngs Program Chairman, Alice Richmond Membership Chairman, Arlene Fisher Service Chairman, Kathleen Nichols Social Chairman, Doris Hart, Sr. Scripture Reading: Doris Waterston Prayer: Kathryn Bratton Girl Reserve Initiation: Open Discussion OCTOBER 26, 1938 Meeting opened by singing in Unisoneled by Sara Betty Prosser.

WITHOUT A SONG THE DAY WOULD NEVER END SING YOUR BLUES AWAY Of all the fine arts, music is perhaps the most wonder' ful, the most uplifting, and the most complete. When the golden voices ring out in melodious har' mony, the listener is stirred to his very soul with a great emotional feeling and inspiration. Some persons underf stand and appreciate music more than others, yet every human has some sort of musical inclination. All of us, even infants, attempt to utter or produce some musical sounds that give satisfaction and amusement, yet of these thousands few are great masters and excel in this field.

And what stirs a more pleasant, tingling sensation than :he pulsating rhythm of a good band? Its presence in Jur school brings a joy which no other organization can Jffer. To the band is attributed many athletic triumphs. Its sprightly music sends the blood racing faster through :he veins of the despairing athletes, after turning defeat :o victory. Can you not visualize a band marching majestically lcross the gridiron? The spectators, facinated with the stately precision of its step and thrills at the swelling of the music.

The purpose of the Latin League is to make Latin more interesting and more enjoyable for those pursuing this course. Under the guidance of our advisor, Miss Connell, and the program chairf man, Margaret Ida Stainthrope, We have learned much concerning the habits, religion and customs of those ancient people who are famous in history and literature for that which they have contributed to the World and which has remained famous Seated: Margaret Ellen Teal, Burton Shamberger, jessie Courtney, Margaret Ida Stainthrope.

STUDENTS ADVANCE RAPIDLY PIERRE QU1 ROULE N'AMAssE: PAS MoUssE The fifth consecutive year of Le Oercle Franf gais fThe French Clubj, having successfully come to a close under the excellent guidance of Mr. Faben, we feel sure its organization has not been in vain, At the first meeting in October, twentyfeight French students were eager to join the club. The officers chosen to carry on through the year were: William Boone, President, Maxine Skinner, Vice President, and Dorothy Youngs, 'Secretary and Treasurer. Through the cooperation of the officers, the members, and Mr. Faben, we have tried to plan our meetings so that they will be interesting as well as informational to all. Care has also been taken so that each member could participate in at least one of the meetings. During the year we have attempted to learn more of the famous men and women of France, such as Napoleon, LaFayette, the great artist Millet, Madame Curie, Victor Hugo and others, In addition to this much interest has been centered around French education and the many univertities and institutions. Our knowledge of the French is still furthered by current events of France, which are given at each meeting. An enjoyable part of several meetings was the singing of French songs, One in particular that was well liked was 'La Marseillaisef Mr. Faben who is very well versed on French life and who has traveled extensively in France has related to us much about the French peasants, their customs and farm life. We were much surf prised to learn of the similarity of the French schools to our own, while in the rural districts in their crude, humble country life, the peasants have practically no modern conveniences. Our programs were also in connection with French culture. One interesting discussion was on .the 'Louvre', the world famous museum at Paris. Another subject was the famous French perfumes. We also learned about one ofthe leading indusf tries of France, their nationally known wines. We have enjoyed our French classes immensely in as much as the language, unlike some foreign languages, is in frequent use today. I really bef lieve we can consider ourselves as closer friends with the French, through our study. Mr. Faben, William Boone, Maxine Skinner, Dorothy Youngs.

CHRISTIAN TRAINING A REQUIREMENT OF SUCCESS HI-Y AIDS YOUNG MEN IN SPIRITUAL DEVELOPMENT If we expect to attain any appreciable Ineasure of success in life, we must cling to the old prinf ciples of morality, justice, and faith in God. That is the purpose of our organization: to build up these Christian virtues in a most suitable and inf teresting manner, and to instill in the minds of its members the importance of these virtues in future life. Standing on a platform of Clean Speech, Clean Sports, Clean Scholarship and Clean Living, we must create, maintain, and extend, throughf out the school and community, high standards of Christian Character, and shed a light of good inf fluence on our everyday surroundings. Seated: Guy Connolly, George jump, Richard Rummel. Standing: James Cox, Mr, Bower, Carl Creek, john Spencer. Besides receiving this Christian training, we have endeeavored to solve some of the numerous problems facing the youth of today, and to pref pare ourselves for the time when we must assume the responsibilities of citizenship and fulfill our obligations to society. To aid in the solution of these problems we sought the advice of several local business men, churchmen, and teachers, who willingly came to our meetings and did their utf most to help us. Among these were Dr. Luxan, who spoke on the subject, Choosing a Vocation. D. V. Swan' son conducted an Open Forum on War and Def fense Preparations. Our new advisor, Mr, Bower, gave us several helpful pointers on 'kWhich Colf lege? A very interesting account of his vacation trip was presented by Reverend Donaldson. We varied these more serious programs by sharf ing in the fun. To do this, the HifY and Girl Reserve Clubs have cooperated with each other to sponsor such activities as the Mixer, the purpose of which is to help the freshmen adapt themselves to their new surroundings and become better acf quainted with the upperclassmen, As many of us leave this organization for the last time, we realize and appreciate what it has done for eaih of us, in the way of spiritual benef fit and we cannot help wishing well for its future success, and hope that it may continue to help those inspired youths who are guided by the motto, Seek, and ye shall find, fWayne Lougheed Page 5 6 Front Row: David Briner, George Tressler, Carl Creek, Eldon Hawkins, james Cox, Richard Rummell, Ralph Starr, Lee Henry, Denver Lee.

AGRICULTURAL LEADERS OF THE FUTURE FARM TRAINING WIDENED Under the SmithfHughes Act passed by conf gress in 1916, Vocational Agriculture Departments have been set up in every state in the United States. Ohio ranks high in the number of departf ments, 305 in all. In addition to allfday instruction, adult evening class work is also provided. Four years of agriculture is offered to the agrif cultural student. The first year is Farm Crops and Horticulture, the second year is Animal Husf bandry and in addition, a course in Farm Shop is offered. The third year is agricultural Engineering and the last year is Soils and Farm lvlanagement. A home project is carried along with each course except Farm Shop. An organization nationally known as the F. F. A. is a part of the vocational agriculture student's life. All activities are carried on through this orf ganization. The motto of every sincere vocational agriculf ture student is: Learning to do, Doing to learn, Earning to live, Living to serve. lvlany interesting evening meetings in Farm Mechaiiics were held during the winter months, with adult farmers of lvlontpelier Community at' tending. Starting November lo, and meeting every Tues' day night until March 8, io farmers were in at'- tendance. Topics such as rural electrification, fitting farm tools, rope splicing, and farm machinery were inf cluded in the course. At different times during the winter, this group met in a joint session with similar groups from West Unity and Bryan. Having each time a speak- er to talk on a general topic of interest, Near the end of the course a need was felt for an organization to further this type of work, and Young Farmers' Association was organized. There are many similar organizations in other communif ties in Ohio. Already plans are being made by this group for future meetings and the planning of an educational trip. . -K. N.

Cox CORN HUSKING CONTEST A district corn husking contest was held between eight F. F. A. chapters on November 6, 1937, on a farm located two miles south of West Unity. The schools competing were Wauseon, Montpelier, Bryan, Delta, McClure, Fay' ette, West Unity, and Defiance. There were two huskers participating from each school and each husked shock corn for a period of fortyffivc minutes. Harry Tressler and Paul Bible represented our chapter. The results in the school were Wauseon first, Mont' pelier second, and Bryan third. Harry Tressler was high individual husking 494 pounds in fortyffive minutes. Harry Tressler, Ir. TRIP 'The Montpelier and West Unity Future Farmers en' joyed this year an extensive and profitable eastern trip. Our route included such points of interest as Columbus, Ohiog Wheeling, West Virginia, Gettysburg, Pennsyl- vania, Washington, D. C., Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, New York City, Cleveland, Ohio, and Lakehurst, New Jersey. Outstanding interests in Washington were, the Senate in session, the Smithsonian Institute, Arlington Cemetery, and the Lincoln Memorial. At Gettysburg we witnessed the scene of the greatest conflict in the American Civil War, Gettysburg battlefield. In Philadelphia, Indepenf Page 58 dence Hall, the birthplace of American independence, symbolized by the Liberty Bell, is still preserved. At Lakehurst, New Jersey we viewed the wreck of the giant German zepplin, the Hindenburg. From there we journeyed to the coast and had our first glimpse of the rolling, white capped Atlantic. Last but not least we were welcomed by the Goddess of Liberty from its strategic point in New York harbor. A brief visit here concluded a most enjoyable tour. +Denver Lee F. F. A. THRIFT BANK One of the objectives of 1937-38 F. F. A. Annual prof gram was to encourage thrift among the members by starting a Thrift Bank. This was started in November on Mondays and Fridays deposits of any amount may he made with the treasurer, Ralph Starr. Likewise, withdrawals may be made at the same time. No interest is paid on deposits, and at any time the members feel as though he should transfer his account to the bank for interest, he is encouraged to do so. Eighteen members have deposited in the Thrift Bank so far this year. -Ralph Starr PEST HUNT The annual pest hunt between the F. F. A. chapters of Williams County was held this year between the dates, December 17, 1937, and january 17, 1938. Montpelier chapter was victorious over the Bryan and West Unity chapters. The total points of the three chapters were 207,915. Montpelier had a total of 93,34O, with an average of 2222.47 points per person. West Unity was second with an average of 2024 points per person. Bryan was third with an average of 1,241 points a person. The Montpelier chapter received a trophy for winning. We also had a contest in our own chapter, the Seniors and Iuniors, competed against the Sophomores and Fresh- man. The Freshman and Sophomorcs won the contest. They were given a supper and an evening of entertain' ment by the Juniors and Seniors. F. F. A. BASKETBALL The Montpelier F. F. A. Basketball team were runners' up in a district F. F. A. contest held at Wauseon in Def cember. The team that went to the tournament was Leonard Zigler, Ralph Flinchbaugh, W'illis Headley, Paul Bible, Denzil Sines, Lee Henry, Darrell Throp, Robert Collie, Donald Krill, and Cecil Cook. With sixteen teams entered in the tournament Mont' pelier was able to defeat Riley Township 15f6, Flat Rock 2Of2, and Wauseon 18'9. In the final game held in the evening, Montpelier lost to the well deserving team, Liberty Center, who were the Champions the year before. TRACTOR SCHOOL Many farmers, this past winter, took advantage of an opportunity afforded by the Vocational Agriculture Def partment, to attend a two week Tractor School. With Mr. A. L. Burras as special instructor, ten after' noons were spent studying and overhauling farm tractors. Farmers enrolled in the School with an average daily at' tendance of 19.5. Ten tractors were brought in and ref paired during the school. gK. N.

IT TAKES A HEAP O' LIVIN' IN A HOUSE TO MAKE IT HOME VOCATIONAL HOMEMAKING coURsE ADDED TO CURRICULUM This year, vocational Home Economics was introduced in our school. We therefore organf ized the Future Homemakers of America, most often referred to as the F. H. A. This is a won' derful opportunity for every girl, and I believe it has been recognized, as we have thirtyffour members and we are hoping to increase the membership another year. Our officers were elected as follows: Vivian Hauck, President, Dorothy Miller, Vice President, Virginia Parnf ham, Secretary, Mary Roberts, Treasurer and Theta Dickinson, Program Chairman. At our meetings, we have taken up such sub' jects as are of most interest to girls. We have had discussion and practice in making correct introductions, we have also taken up knitting, tie dying and potteryfmaking, and found them all to be quite fascinating. The F. H. A. has been active in educational programs both at school and among other outside groups. In the cake baking contest at the Institute, one of our members, Carlin Abend, placed first with her entry. At Christmas time, we had a party and gift exchange, but the event of the year we all en' joyed the most, was our banquet. This we held with the F. F. A. boys, on December eighth at the high school gymnasium. Our guests were our parents, the Board of Education and various speakers imported for the occasion. Talks were given by members of both organizations, and in this manner, I believe our guests more fully ap' preciated the fine work being done in these youth movements. We feel, that we are indeed fortunate, in having this new type of Economics in our school. -Doris Beaumont VOCATIONAL HOMEMAKING This year we have a new Vocational Home' making Department in our High School, Home Economics has been a part of the school prof gram for many years, but just became a Vocaf tional department in September, 1937. In order to qualify as a Vocational department, many Page 60 changes had to be made in the House Eco' nomics equipment. Our present kitchen reveals a vast improvement over the old one. Six unit kitchens have been installed, calling for four new electric, and two new gas ranges. In place of the old tables each unit now boasts of a new porcelain topped table, and a supply cabinet. Three new white porcelain sinks have also been installed, and the old cement flooring has been covered with a very attractive inlaid linoleum In order to follow the State requirements, several changes have been made in the Home Economics course of study. First year work is no longer called Clothing, nor is second year called Foods. Three years of Home Economics are offered and in each year, Foods, Clothing, and Homemaking form a part of the work. Home Projects stand out as the chief factor of difference in a Vocational Home Economics department, and a regular Home Economics def partment. During the months of June and July, the Home Economics teacher supervises planned projects which the girls carry out in their homes. The purpose of these projects is to give the girls an opportunity to put into practice those things which are studied and tried at school. Through these projects they learn to asf sume greater responsibilities of the home, to be' come more familiar with management problems, and to work toward some definite goal of ac' complishment. Projects which have already been undertaken are: Planning and Preparing Meals, Care and Repair of Clothing, Planning, Select' ing, and Making the Spring Wardrobe, Planf ning, Preparing and Packing School Lunches. Home Economics no longer can be called cooking and sewing for it is much more incluf sive. Food units include food preservation, meal planning, food purchasing, meal service and nutrition. Clothing consists not only of garment constructiong but, also clothing selection, care, and repair, good grooming, the choice and care of materials. Homemaking' includes units in house management, the care and furnishing of a home, child care, care of the sick, and family relations. Through this broadened Home Economics curriculum, we are hoping to offer opportunif ties for a better understanding of the home, of home life and growth not only physically and mentally but socially as well. --Kathryn Sharp The Students are grateful to all those who helped to establish such a splendid vocational economics department and especially thank the Board of Education for their efforts.

MOTHERS' CLUB AIDS IN ACTIVITIES COOPERATION Pnovss INVALUABLE The High School Mothers' Club of 1938 is composed of the parents and teachers of the High School students. Up to this time practically all of the work and activities have been carried on by the mothers only. However, we are happy to report that during the past year the fathers have cooperated splendidly and shown an active interest in the meetings. The policy of the club, under the present set of off ficers, has been throughout the year to assist in whatever way possible, the school, the church and the community. By adhering to this policy we feel that we are a potent factor in sending forth into the world, students well equipped, mentally and physically, to cope with whatever problems may confront them. In planning the year's program we selected a chairman from the club and an assistant chairman from the teach' ers. This chairman and teacher arranged the program from whatever department of the school the teacher represented. This plan was formulated that the parents might gain some insight as to the various departments of the school, also see the students in active school work. As we had a new Superintendent, the September meet' ing was in the form of a reception to Mr. Newton, his family and new members of the faculty. The High School Orchestra added greatly to the success of this meeting with strains of He's a Jolly Good Fellow. All who were present took part in a grand march. All Grade and High School Teachers were presented and the subject which they teach was announced. A. Brown, President of the School Board gave a fine welcome address and the response was by Mr. Newton. Other talks were by Mayor Lyle Rothenberger, Mr. Loren Apt, Marshall, Mr. F. E. Warrick, farmer, Mrs. Mary Saunders, music teacher, Rev. Charles Donaldson of the Presbyterian Church and Rev. Walter Purdy of the United A Brethern Church. October Meeting was in charge of the Agricultural and Home Economic Departments. Miss Sharp gave a very interesting and intellectual talk on Home Economics and under her supervision the girls demonstrated to the audi' ence in a very capable manner the work done in this particular department. Mr. Morse led his students in a most interesting demonstration of the manner of procurf ing seed corng also a very practical demonstration of cement work was another feature of this program. November Meeting was sponsored by the History Def partment and took the form of a Thanksgiving Party at Grandmother and Grandfather's home in the country. After the Thanksgiving Dinner served by Grandpa and Grandma fwhich was a bountiful potluckj Mr. and Mrs. Faben entertained the audience with a playlet, the purf pose of which was to impress upon all the many things, we in this country have to be thankful for. NOVEMBER 29TH the Mothers of the football boys served a banquet in the Agricultural room. At this time the boys were pref sented the letters they had earned. December Program was under the direction of the Music and English Departments. At this time the ever impressive play Emanuel was presented. January Meeting was in charge of Mrs. Hoover, whose subject was Community Health and Welfare Work. Talks were given by Dr. Howard Luxan on Serums and Miss Henrietta Hill explained social Security. After this meet' ing all were invvited to the Home Economics Room where the men served refreshments. February Meeting was sponsored by the Commercial Department under the direction of Miss Park. A short play representing a typical business office and its work' ings was presented in a most pleasing manner. Also some real class room work in the way of shorthand and typing tests was demonstrated on the stage. That more contacts might be made, the entire school was divided into two groups, Group A under the direction of Mr. and Mrs. Lyle Rothenberger, and Group B under the direction of Mr. and Mrs. E. Connell. We sponf sored but two money making activities. Group A sponf sored a large bridge party in the High School Gym. This proved very successful financially and Group B brought to Montpelier the celebrated Notre Dame Glee Club of Notre Dame University. This group of young men brought to Montpelier and community some very fine musical talent and was a most successful event. Lunch was served to the Glee Club after the concert and a fine social hour was enjoyed by a number of the high school students, Professor Cacasanta, and the boys at this time. The Club sent to the Federated Charity organization a check at Christmas time to assist in their workg also we have checked the linens and replaced where necessary and added quite a number of articles to the kitchen equip' ment. -Mrs. Perry Faulkner Page 62 Mrs. Thomas, Mrs. Carrot, Mr. New' ton, Mrs. Kizer, Mrs. Rundell, Mrs. Lew, Treasurer, Mrs. Bailey, Presidentg Mrs. Cleveland, Vice President, Miss Hoskinson, Principal. GRADE SCHOOL P. T. A. Montpelier Grade School P. T. A. started its work in July when a special committee served the Farm Bureau, ice cream and cake at the H. S. Gymnasium. There were about two hundred guests and Mr. Newton distinguished himself in the art of dipping ice cream. The affair added substantially to our meager funds on hand. The first Assembly was held in the Junior High Room September 22 with Mrs. Bailey presiding and fiftyffive members present. The working groups for the year were announced, firstfnamed as chairman and automatically a member of the executive committee. President, Neva Bailey Vice President, Eloise Cleveland Treasurer, Sylvia Leu The Committees are as follows: WAYS AND MEANS COMMITTEE Miss Hoskinson Mrs. Wm. Merriman Mrs. Helen Long fChairmanJ Mrs. Fay Snyder Mrs. Mildred Storrer Mrs. Mildred Scott Mrs. Jessie Sprankell PROGRAM COMMITTEE Mrs. Ruth Carrot fChairmanJ Mrs. Florence Ely Miss Wiltrude Brown Mrs. Sarah Swanson MEMBERSHIP COMMITTEE Mrs. Nina Kizer fChairmanJ Mrs. Helen Lockhart Mrs. Lillian Apt Mrs. W.

Fleming PUBLICITY COMMITTEE Mrs. Curt Thomas fChairmanJ Mrs. Dale Bangert Miss Marjory Sandrock Miss Nell Herriman A Trumpet Sextette of Junior High Boys played and Mrs. Ellis Porter read the Christman Story Anniversary. Tea was served in Room 13. It was voted that P. T. A. would sponsor both the Boy Scouts and Camp Fire Girls. P. T. A. and N. A. C. conducted the sale of Tubercuf losis Christmas Seals, disposing of our quota. Miss Brown's Second Grade won the First Aid Kit. Throughout the year our State and National Member' ship increased, there now being sixtyffour paid member' ships. A drive for local attendance, worked out by the Membership committee had surprising results, our average attendance being about sixtyffive. The Program Committee furnished us with finest en' tertainment. To complete the Review, in January we en- joyed Eileen Kannel and her pupil Peggy Ann Scharlow at the piano. Mrs. Curt Thomas reviewed Look Away Dixie Land. February sent us a chorus of First Graders and Mrs. Howard Myers read excerpts from the Radio talk Lin' coln's Lamplightersf' Mrs. Robert Carr, soprano, sang and Mrs. Ward Stipe acquainted us with Soviet Russia. The March Meeting was held in the H. S. Auditorium honoring the Grade School Band in its initial public ap' pearance. A large number of fathers were present on this occasion, it being an evening meeting. Our President spoke briefly of her attendance at Northwestern Conferf ence in Toledo, on March 16, setting forth the interest- ing fact that P. T. A. enrollment has nearly doubled in the past year. Miscellaneous events include the promotion of a dental Hygiene Movie program under the supervision of the State Department. HOSPITALITY COMMITTEE Mrs. John Rundell fChairmanj lvirs. Mildred Buck Mrs. Theo McMillan Mrs. Alphretta McMillan Mrs. Waldo Miller At this meeting Mr. and'Mrs. Newton were presented to the P. T. A. group. All were entertained by musical numbers which were Williams County Fair Contest Win' ners, a source of pride to our school. The artists were: Lynette Scharlow, vocal soloist. James Trautman, clarinet soloist. High School Girls' Sextette under direction of Miss Louise Lattanner. During the month of October the group sponsored and assisted in the production of The Womaiiless Wedding a social event long to be remembered in Montpelier. With a cast of seventy local business men, in feminine roles, it proved to be the most delightful and hilarious comedy seen in this community in recent years. The financial results were more than gratifying, the house being packed to capacity two successive evenings. The P. T. A. has received much praise for the success of this venture. The Assembly met October 6 with Mrs. Bailey in the chair and fortyftwo members present. They were enterf tained by Phyllis Nye, pianist, and also Jean Guilinger at the piano, followed by a discussion of Music in the Home by Mrs. Neva Heller. November 3rd session numbered one hundred and ten in attendance and witnessed the production of an Oper' etta Molly be Jolly presented by Miss Brown's Second Grade. Mrs. Fitzer reviewed 'LA Candle in The Sun. At the December session seventyffive members enjoyed Christmas on the Isthmus by Mrs. Myrna Bruhn, a resident of Panama, exhibited in Junior High in February. The Hospitality Committee served a Spring Tea at the Art Exhibit in March at the H. S. Auditorium. The April program was most delightful, with local peof ple exhibiting and discussing their hobbies. Plans are afoot for the Summer Round Up Campaign. It has been a wholly active and enjoyable year for P. T. A. who believe they have a vital and permanent place in the administration of school affairs as they affect the homes and lives of the pupils. Our national slogan: Active Service for Childhood.

Nothing was more beau' tiful to them than a perfect body. Cul' ture of the mind stood in second place to physical culture. They spent all their leisure time in outdoor sports, from which many of our presentfday athletes are derived. We find today that athf letics are taking a prominent place in school and college activities. At first glance the benefits from inf dulgence in sports seem meager, but up' on closer inspection we find that there is more to be gained than we had anticif pated. Through interclass and inter' scholastic competition we learn the value and joy of sportsmanship. We perceive that there is really much more in playing the game than the mere winning. Through the desire to be good in sports, we learn to know and appreciate one of the greatest beauties of life. We soon realize that decisions may mean little when they go against us, for if we have played fairly we do not mind losing. How complicated are our emotions, however, when we know in our hearts that we have won un' fairly. But have we truly won? Soon we comprehend that only honesty can make us happy in defeat or in conquest. Too often morals are sacrificed for victory over competitors. In this way we lose all the beauty of comradeliness. All the exhilaration we have known in the feel of keen air in our nostrils or the shout of multitudes in the grand stand is suddenly cold. The game no longer lifts us to heights, nor are we any longer good citizens, for in our foolishness we are a detriment to our country. Many persons, especially those who have never entered the field of sports, think that those who are athletes were born that way and have had to do nothing to become star players. Little do they realize that the boy who plays football must follow strict rules of train' ing. That he makes countless little sacrifices for his school is unknown. He may give up many evening engage' ments which he would otherwise have enjoyed. Yet to us who are grandstand players, he is not a good player if he looses the game and fails to bring home the laurels. In this evil we auditors sacrifice some of the beauty that we might know in giving encouragement to a failing comrade. After all, he is playing the harder game of the two. One of the most outstanding beauf ties known by the athlete is the spirit of cooperation. No game can be won without a prevailing spirit of good will and brotherliness toward ones fellow players. Personal victory and glamor are completely thrown aside, while the desire to be a real assistance to the team becomes the foremost objective. In these early competitive games we learn the value of sacrifice throughout all life's work, and slowly we realize that the beauties received far outnumf ber our sacrifices and make them seem easy. May these first lessons carry us down through the years and teach us to be good sports in all we may attempt to accomplish. -Viola Jackson Page 66 FOOTBALL TAKES ON NEW INTEREST UNDER LIGHTS V To be a successful athletic director requires a rare combination of qualif Right now there are twentyfthree different things to watch on that football field, twentyftwo men and a soaring ball. The ties which are seldom embodied in one individual. It is necessary that he have the whole hearted respect and cooperaf tion of the students, which requires a profound understanding of human na- ture and a keen intellect coupled with tact and sagacity. Coach Radenbaugh not only qualif fies in these requirements but also conf stantly radiates a high moral influence which is felt both on and off the athletic field. Those who come in contact with Coach invariably part with a feeling of closer companionship and loftier ideals. +George S. .lump Radenbaugh MY HOPES FOR FUTURE FOOTBALL referee, that immaculate gentleman with a striped shirt, his hand. 'LReady, Captain Zigler? Captain Zigler signals Montpelier is set. The same question is shouted down to e other end of the field. Napoleon ready-let 'er go. The whistle blows, keen and shrill. See the Montpelier team spread out in a thin white jerseyed across the field, three strides back of the upftilted ball. atch the blue, cannily placed to cover every inch of defensive The whistle blows and the white line moves forward a unit, There's a plunk of leather against leather and the ball rs high and far. trick now is to get as many of them as possible in your focus. You'll see the blue defensive men hurling themselves at the at' tacking line, to battle them down and keep them out of the play. Somebody grabs the ball back there by the goal line and heads for the open field behind his interference. Then a swirl of white swarms in and the carrier is down. First down and ten to go on the twennty yard line. Now watch the way they line up. If you can get clearly in mind exactly what the duties of the various players are, under' standing will come easy. The blues line up with seven men in compact formation on the rush line. The ball is snapped, a huge white figure, Brandt, breaks through, The ball carrier is hit be' fore he has time to control the ball, a fumble, Montpelier's ball. The white lines up. those two in the extreme position of the line are the ends, Camerson and Brannan. On the offense these men play close to the men beside them. They help charge the opposing linemen out of the way, to keep the opponents from smashinig in on the back field. On defense, their chief function is to smash the enemy interference, and drive the play into the bulk of the line. Next inside the ends are the tackles, Jump and Herb. One FOOTBALL FIELD W'e were extremely fortunate this year in being able to engage on a new football field our grid' iron adversaries. The resulting stimulation to our morale was in a large part due to the installation of exceptionally brilf liant, and practically shadowless flood lights, rendering possible the playing of night games for the hrst time in the history of Montpelier High School. We also owe to the generous contributions of local business men such additional and much needed equipment as a score board, durable steel goal posts and yard markers. --George Jump Page 67 tough spot to fill. Their chief offensive function is to tear holes in the other line so that the backs will have a clear path into their opponents' backfield. On defense they try to keep the other fellow from doing that very thing. Next, on either side of the center, are the guards, Falco and Custer. Their duties are quite similar to those of the tackles, In modern play, how' ever, many coaches use both guards to come out of the line, just as the play starts and join the interference. The center, Rentz - that big fellow spraddled out there looking back be' tween his legs-passes the ball to the packfield, and then rushes the other ine. Behind the line the backfield is in formation. In ideal backfield you'll find one halfback who is tri le threat. Zigler plays the part, as the ball comes from center he may run, pass or kick. The triplefthreat is shifty runner who is hard to bring down once he shakes the loose. The other half back, Manley, plays a very spectacul part as he carries the ball from the back position and retur the punts. The full back, Stahl, in his fullback alignment, is a stro line plunger who carries the heavy burden of getting those ext few yards that mean first down. The quarterback, Powers, the master of strategy who choosesthe plays and directs the tea on the field. Sometimes he carries the ball to rest the others, fills in on duties he finds his other backs unable to perform. C the defense the backfield guards the territory behind the lir The fullbacks play close to the line to help, Rentz the cent: fill the holes opened in the line. Farther back the halves protf the flanks from end runs and passes. They also cover wide li. plays. The quarter is t he safety man, he'll get the ball carri if everyone else misses. Well, it's Napoleon's ball, come on fellows! These boys jt think they are going to play in these positions. It will take mo than these eleven to stop Napoleon. --Coach Radenbaugh IELTS, Sfiflfffiiq TEAM ENCOUNTERS KEENER COMPETITION LOCOMOTIVES REALIZE POWER or UNIFIED ACTION One of the many activities of our school curriculum is foot' ball. This great sport, which not only the ones participating, but also the spectators enjoy, supplies a field for mental and physical ability. The first match for the squad of '38 was with Leipsic. Every' one was in high spirits, hoping that the first game of the year would bring us victory. We outplayed our opponents and ended the game with the final score of 13 to 7. The second game, which was played here, was witnessed by the majority of students. Due to several touchdowns, the Hicks' ville team lost and the score was 6 to 26. During the course of time, the students and football fans had been long waiting and looking forward to the new football field which had been in the making during t he early fall. The dedif cation of this new and lighted field came with the game of Napoleon. Both teams strove to win the honor of the vvictory. According to several adroit plays of the opponents, our boys lost 18 to 7. ' , Whitmen from Toledo played here next. Although everyoi fought hard for a lead, we were defeated 26 to 0. Wauseon scored 13 to 0 over 'Pelier. Our lack of defen caused frustration. The Paulding game was also played under the lights, w taken very easily by the Locomotives. The score 26 to 6. The night game with Bryan was one that everyone will I member.It was quite a spectacle for those on the side line Bryan put up a real fight and we were unable to match it, th' the game ended with a score of 18 to 0. There was not much progress in the first half but on accou of the cooperation of the opposing line, we again were defeat: by a score of 12 to O, at Liberty Center. Last but not least was our game with Defiance. The tear seemed to be quite evenly matched. The power which they hz in interference was outstanding.

Our football season this year was not as sucf cessful as it might have been. Although we lost a few league meets, we fought hard and clean. I only hope that We have a more successful team in the years to come. -Tony Pignataro I look back upon my four seasons of school football with a deep appreciation for all I have received from it. The experience has been of inestimable value to me. -Elbert Thompson Many of the loftiest ideals of Sportsmanship are brought out on the gridiron. The Sport not only provides an excellent recreation but also teaches many of the basic principles of life, namely sportsmanship, determination, confif dence, and the spirit of never admitting defeat. -Theo Manley Football is a wholesome sport for any boy to participate in. He learns to take the knocks of the world and the importance of fair play. -Denver Lee After four years of competition in High School Athletics I have found that football skills are the hardest to learn but the game has less strenuous effort on endurance than track, my favorite sport. -Kenneth Doenges The team of 37 played to the best of their ability and although they did not win so many games they put up a hard fight with all of their opponents. While they were defeated numerous times by tough breaks they were never beaten. -Maurice Strayer Football provides an opportunity for every high school boy to enter into a competitive and constructive sport under excellent supervision. The benefits of this activity extend far beyond achieving gridiron victories. -George Jump CHEERLEADERS Pep, vim, vigor, and vitality are all radiated from those four jubiliant personalities that stood before the spectators and kept their spirits high by leading cheers that would encourage and spur on the players who have their places in the grandstands. -Hall Doris Harte, Ir., Vyfayne Lougheed, Doris Harte, Sr., Jno Spenser Page 69 The 1938 basketball for Montpelier was very MANLEY This year's team came from the storm of battle with Theo Manley at the wheel. A very unfortunate course it chartered and a like fate it suffered during the voyage. Captain Manley filled his post well. He was a dependable seaman and an exceptional leader. If Manley could have practiced his crew on a battleship instead of a tugboat the final command would have been full steam ahead to victory, HStickney Thompson Manley TEAM SHOWS INDOMITABLE SPIRIT MORALE RETAINED DESPITE DEFEAT The first league game was played on the disheartening to the players and for all. Tough breaks accounted for six closely scored defeats. It seemed as though all nature was pulling against our team, Regardless of the loss of the close ones the boys were able to pull a number of wins under their belt. Their first game of the season was with Alf vorton and they won by a close margin, 2924. Next they received West Unity on the home floor and sent her home with a loss, 1843. First Row: Vsf'ayne Harmon, Manager, spacious floor at Defiance, with Defiance. The home team, used to practicing on a small floor came to disaster, 31f17, and went home with a stronger feeling for that new gymnasium that had been talked about so much within the halls. Pioneer was the next prospect scheduled and they were a handsome group at that. They barged into Montpelier with confidence and strutted out with victory, 3828.

The score was close but Napoleon won out, 18-16. This was the first of the close scored losses. Next the locomotives went to Liberty Center. The Libby's were plenty good and cleaned house, 3244. To come back after four straight losses lvlontf pelier invited Edon to a beating, 31f17. Next to fall under the awakened cagers was Wauseon, 31f25. So nicely were the boys clickf ing that the outlook for the Bryan7Pelier game were favorable. Going to Bryan and playing on another far superior floor was not easy. The great rivalry that is shown each year between the two towns drew a big crowd. Not much scoring was done by either team, the final score being 28f16 in Bryan's favor. Our second game with Liberty Center on their floor was close. The final score, 29f27 in their favor, anothf er hard break for the team. Our second game with Pioneer at their floor also showed improvement. The final, score being in their favor, 28f23. The first game we played with them, they won by a much larger mar' gin. Stryker aided our wins and losses by losing to us, 31f16. Cur next game, the ref turn game with Bryan was played on our own floor and the results showed it. Due to tough breaks, however, we found it ne' cessary to mark up an' other defeat, 28f26. West Unity wanted another try at our squad and we obligated them with a licking, 34f24. The second game with Defiance was more of a match than the first. They played on our floor this time but still showed superiority beneath the basket., The final score was 34f26, in their favor. Napoleon showed an increase in form when they asked for a return game. They won easily from the locals, 25f11. The League games when compiled in wins and losses did not look so well in our favor. We were, however, among those to play in the finals at Defiance. The team that we were matched against was that of Bowling Green. Their team was su' perior to ours to the extent of 37 points and we were eliminated from further competif tion. It was no disgrace to be beated by such a capable team and the home lads retired from the season with an untold amount of ex' perience and a clean record, as for sportsmanf ship. -Theo Manley -Carson Stickney TIIVIE OUT CONFERENCE Page 71 Coach Swanson has had much ex' perience in girls' basketball and feel' ing that teamwork and fair play were essentials of a good team he insisted that they be carrie dout. His word of encouragement would give new zeal to the girls and through his untiring eff forts he was able to mould an undef feated team. gKathryn Bratton Coach Swanson There are many factors that contribute to the success of a winning team, For the sake of brevity one might classify those factors under the three heads of: the desire or will to wing the physical and mental ability to wing and having the proper di' rection. The desire or will to win carries with it a determination to WHAT MAKES A WINNING TEAM pay the price the victor always pays. It means sacrifices, sell denials along with regularity and obedience. Nothing is the rr sult if there is no desire. Failure results to people who have n desire or will to act. Likewise lack of desire means inaction i athletics. The desire or will to win is the motivator behind an human activity. There is no activity that this is more true in tha in athletics. Physical and mental ability to win means having a body the is sufficiently strong, well enough developed, properly coord. nated and, possessing the vigor and stamina that the rigors C athletic competition requires. It means the nervous dispositio to withstand strain, excitement and thrill. It further means th proper coordination of mind and body. Direction means the coordinating and balancing of the afor mentioned factors so that they are not wasted or lost. It mean the molding of abilities and aptitudes into a functional uni where there is no friction or loss of harmony. All of these three factors mentioned are essential to a winnei The degree to which these three are present and coordinatei will be the degree to which victory will be manifested. W-Mr. D. V. Swanson GIRLS ACHIEVE SPOTLESS RECORD HIGHLY SUCCESSFUL SEASON The girls basketball team has enjoyed the most successful season of their history, winning 7 games, losing none, nor tieing none. Our first game was held here. Montpelier had the advantage of their own floor, but were not very sure of themselves as this was their first chance to see what kind of team they had built up during many weeks of practice, but Alvorton, the first op' ponent, did not prove very strong, and it was an easy win. The score being 336, in Montpelier's favor. West Unity was the next opponent, and while the girls had gained confidence in themselves after their first victory, they did not know what to expect from this team. But they soon found that their constant practice and diligent training was not all in vain as they came out on the winning end of a 3445 score. Pioneer was to come to 'Pelier next. Because this game, they knew, was to be one of the most difficult of the season, many nights were spent in practice, and all training rules were obeyed. They were repaid for their efforts, as we were the victors by a ZZ-16 score. With nearly half the wames played, and with a perfect recorm so far, they began to visualize an undefeated season, and witl this thought in mind we conquered Edon on the home floor bf a score of 336. The next was a return game with Pioneer on the floor, whicl was our first attempt of the season on a strange floor. This gami they found was to be the most difficult of the season. At thi half, Montpelier was not in front as it had been in all game previously, but was trailing by nine points. What had happened! The coach gave the girls words of advice that put them on thei toes and they went back in to score a 20-15 win. Stryker came to 'Pelier to see what they could do to that per fect record. Again Montpelier managed to check the adversarj and won by a score of 37f15. With just one more game on the schedule, they felt it mus be a win for 'Pelier. This was to be the last game for threi senior girls. The game was at West Unity and although they had defeated them once, Montpelier knew they were out to spoi their unblemished record, as they were now the only girls' tean Front Row: Mary Makley Myrtle Kenecht, Kathryn Brat ton, Arlene Fisher, Eileen Bord ener, Doris Clinger.

She always possessed the necessary ambition and spirit to lead us to victory by conf veying her enthusiasm to the other members of the team. Thus she was elected Captain. -Kathryn Bratton I have thoroughly enjoyed my participation in Basketball this year. Bef sides this, I have derived much benefit from it. Coach Swanson has taught us the importance of cooperation and fairfplay which may also be applied to the game of Life. -Kathryn Bratton This year has been the most successful year in my basketball career. Much of our success was due to our coach, our teamwork, and good sportsmanship. To those who take our place I say, Teamwork and sportsmanship are the key words of every winning team. -Doris Clinger Our team has enjoyed the most successful season in its history, and I believe I have derived much from it. It has taught me that with a determination and will to win , much can be accomplished, in life as well as on the Basketball floor.

PHYSICAL EDUCATION BREAKS CURRICULAR MCNOTONY SOUND MIND IN A soUND BODY Athletics have, from the beginning of time, oc' cupied a prominent role on the stage of Life. In ancient Greece and Rome athletics prepared their men and boys for the part they played in making their nations the conquerors of the world at their respective period of history. Everyone has heard of the 'Spartans and their athletic prowess. Athf letics are preparing the young people of America to make their country not a conqueror but a leadf er of the world. ki We have not yet xfealizedthe part which athf letics play in our daily school life. The gym classes have been looked forward to with an eagerness which clearly shows the interest felt by the boys. Interest has been especially high this year and much has been accomplished under the capable supervision of Coach Radenbaugh. The spirit of competition found in our gym work has been inf valuable, first because it is a natural desire to be the victor, which has resulted in a high standard of accomplishment, and second, it has prepared the participants for their place in the world. Life is full of the survival of the fittest, and as gym is a struggle for supremacy, it can easily be seen that athletics prepares one for life. Aside from this there is also the personal enjoyment derived from gymnastics. There are very few bays, I am sure, who do not like gym best of the curricular activities. This can be proved by watching a gym zlass. All of the activities are done with a vim and vigor showing a fondness for the subject. Football was taken up first and the general prinf :iples were taught, followed by scrimmage. The scrimmaginig was much more appreciated than the fundamentals. Basketball was next. It being one of the best liked sports. After the rules were taught, teams were formed and good games resulted, the players becoming slightly over enthusiastic at times. Following basketball were tumbling and gym' nastics. Most of the underclassmen were noticeably deficient in this before instruction and practice. During the Grain Institute the boys gym class gave a very creditable exhibition of tumbling. Next was the manly art of self defense. Boys were paired off according to size, given footwork and position instructions and loosed at e ach other. Many amusing incidents occurred, particularly among the smaller boys. Wild swings and punches on the nose were frequent. Volley ball was not looked forward to with much enthusiasm, having been regarded as rather unmanly but we soon learned the exact opposite was true. Volley ball requires a coordination of thought and action at least equal to that of other sports. Although not as strenuous as some events, it has plenty of thrills and close games were common. The arrival of spring brought on track season. Here gym is especially helpful to those never hav' ing participated in track and field events. The corf rect form is given for sprinting, polefvaulting, hurdling, discus throwing, shot putting, and long distance running. This instruction helps many on the way to a winged M . -Ralph Flinchbaugh Page 74 First Row: Coach Radenbaugh, Betty Tingle, Phyllis White, Betty Yarger.

GYMNASTICS SUPPLEMENT ATHLETICS HEALTHFUL TRAINING GIVEN Within two weeks after the opening of school last September, our gym classes were fully organf ized. Due to the fair weather, hikes and softball were the first subjects taken up. Towards the mid' dle of October we began our classes in the gym. Perhaps we were not a very prospective looking group in the several weeks which followed. Even our most simple exercises were met with sore musf cles and stiff joints. There was an evident distincf tion between the upperclassmen and the freshmen, proving that our last year's work had accomplished more than we realized. The teaching of the principles of each skill aided in making our schedule more varied and interestf ing. Numerous games and drills involving organ' ization, such as basketball, volleyball, etc., added a pleasureable diversion to our regular work. The Farmer's Institute an dthe Mother's Club meetings were opportunities for exhibitions which were exf ecuted just as our regular gym classes so that others might see how they are conducted an dwhat we do. In March favorable weather conditions again permitted us to enjoy outside activities. This time we were taught some of the principles of golf. Girls tract and archery are expected to be taken up be' fore the school year terminates. Even if we had not had so many verious projects to make our schedule more interesting we would sitll have accomplished our purposes in taking phyf sical education. In this, the object is not only to improve ourselves physically but also mentally. By our numerous activities we learn the art of cooperation and organization, By merely under' standing them we gain one more thing in common with our companions and this tends to promote good will and fellowship. This field also develops an active mind which will judge correctly, accur- ately, and quickly. At all times a spirit of clean competition and fair play were enforced upon us. This cannot help but be practiced in our following life. It is the above objectives which our capable inf structor Mr. Radenbaugh is trying to develop. We all feel that he has made a marked progress and will regret when our classes are over. -Arlene Fisher BASKETBALL GIRLS WHO RECEIVED .

ONLY ONE MEET LOST IN '37 TRACK TEAM HITS STRTDE Montpelier's track fans had just cause to be proud of the 1937 track team. Through the co' operation of team and coach they were able to win a majority of the meets that they participated in. In the first meet of the season Montpelier def feated Pioneer with a score of 68 to 71. Some of the winners from Montpelier were: 100 yard dash, Thompson, mile, Beach, 220 yard dash, Manley, 880, Doenges, 120 yard high hurdles, Cameron, 200 yard low hurdles, Manley, javelin, Zigler, high jump, Jump, pole vault, Thompson. In their second consecutive win of the year, Montpelier defeated Napoleon and Liberty Cenf ter in a triangular meet held at Napoleon. Mont' pelier's score was 66, Napoleon 58, and Liberty Center 18. The events that we won were: 120 yard high hurdles, Zigler, 100 yard dash, Thompf son, 880 yard relay, mile, Beach, 440, Cameron, medley relay, 220, Manley, javelin, Zigler, broad jump, Pignataro, high jump, Jump, pole vault, Thompson. In the third consecutive win of the season Montpelier defeated Liberty Center with a score of 89M to MM. The winners of the main events from Montpelier were: high hurdles, Zigler, 100 yard dash, Thompson, mile run, Beach, sprint ref lay, Pignataro, Hart, Lee, Manley, discus, Thompf son, javelin, Zigler, 880, Doenges, high jump, Jump, medley relay, Hart, Lee, Courtney, Zigler, 220 yard dash, Hart, mile relay, Doenges, Teeters, Jump, Beach, broad jump, Pignataro. In their first defeat of the track season Montf pelier lost to Wauseon by a score of 51 to 81. However, Montpelier had previously gained the reputation of being one of the best track teams in the league. A cold damp evening marked the beginning of the League track meet at Bryan Athletic field. However, in spite of the weather conditions, many records were broken. Bryan placed first with 127 points, Wauseon second with 5 9, Montpelier third with 33, Napoleon fourth with 31, Liberty Center fifth with 9, and Defiance sixth with 4. Although Montpelier won no event, Beach was second in the mile run, Doenges second in the half mile run, Zigler second in the discus and Thompson third in the 100 yard dash. The members of the 1937 track team are to be highly commended upon their brilliant season. We know that back of their victories and records there are many, many hours of conscientious and labor' ious training. They richly deserve all honors ac' corded them. The school has benefited much from their effort. -Charles Courtney Page 76 Top: Teeters, L. Lee, L. Ziegler, Smith, D. Lee, Howard, Bordner, V. Strayer, Harmon.

POTENTIAL OLYMPIC ENTRIES s1x'rY START IN THE RACE Honor and good sportsmanship are powerful forces in the life of any athlete and each man who participates gets much in the cultivation of high ideals and motives. This year we started with a line up of 61 men, and have proven our ability in several meets. In the InterfClass Tournament the Juniors emerged victorious. Many events were held, with innovations for girls in a 50 yard dash, won by Arlene Fisher in 7.6. 100 yard dash-Cook, first, time 10.9. 120 yard high hurdles-Cameron, first, time 17.8.

LOCAL THIN CLADS PUT UP GOOD FIGHT AGAINST BRYAN Although defeated by ten points in their dual track meet with Bryan high school, Montpelier thin clads gave a splendid exhibition and succeeded in winning just as many events at the Fair grounds here last Friday. Mont' pelier took first in the following events: High hurdles, 100fyd. dash, mile run, 440fyd. dash, low hurdles, pole vault and broad jump. Bryan finished in the lead in the 880fyd. relay, shot put, halffmile run, 220- yd. dash, discus, high jump and mile relay. Since there is no award for second place in the relays those two events spelled the difference in the two total srorcs. Summary of the various events follows: High hurdles! Cameron QMJ first: Zigler QMD second: time 17.8. 100 yard dash-Thompson first: Cook set' ond: time 10.5. Mile run-Doenges QM first: time 5:12.

The visitors had a well balanced team and their pre' vious victories in two similar meets this year gave them considerable confidence. Consequently they were quite surprised by the stubborn battle put up by the Mont' pelier lads, who are being developed into a strong aggref gation by Coach Radenbaugh. MONTPELIER BOYS SECOND IN TRACK AND FIELD MEET Montpelier thin clad athletes put up a good fight in their track and field meet with Napoleon and Wauseon Friday but could not quite stem the crimson tide from the latter school. However Coach Radenbaugh is gradu' ally rounding out a wellfhalanced team which will have to be reckoned with in the not far distant future.

Basketball, the sport that fills your lungs with air and then takes it all away, proved to be very fast and exciting. What is to become of this younger generation cerf tainly struck home when the freshmen knocked off , the Juniors on all sides. The boys won by a score of 21 to 9, the girls 22 to 11. Another interfclass feature in addition to the yearly basketball tournament was the interclass track meet. All classes participated, nobody was barred, and the competition among the three upper classes was very close. The Juniors won with 51M as their total. The Seniors were close behind with 50 and the Sophomores turned in 49. The Freshmen did not show so well in the track meet although they did furnish a lot of conf testants and showed a fine spirit for athletics. -Carson Stickney Page 78 3 . .. ,.., fu. ., , ,N .u?,v.W-.,fv:,'.,v-,,N,k.V.

They have formed it piece by piece, each separate mem- ory being a brick. The abundance of joys and tears that have filled their lives is the mortar, holding the bricks together. Time is the master decorator. Through its allfrevealf ing power the quality of the building mater' ials is made known. Worthy deeds stand like magnificent marble columns, growing more resplendent with the wear of the years. The inferior must perish under the relentless tread of time. This Mansion of Ivlemory is a beautiful structure, if the life building it, has been worthwhile. The roof of success is supported by numerous pillars, each one representing an achievement. On the base of each pillar is inscribed the character trait that has made it possible. Among these we find ambition, perseverence, courage, love, loyalty and un' selfishness. An enduring edifice must have a stable foundation. The only firm foundation for life is faith in God. Lives built upon it may be altered or wrecked many times, but al' ways there remains that solid base on which to rebuild even a more noble structure. Those who are in the prime of life are just in the process of building their Mansion of Memory. Here and there is left a vacant place, to be filled by future experiences. There are yet a few pillars to be erected as new achievements are gained. The roof of success is partly finished, but with enough space left so that a false move could shatter it, bringing it down to the earth in shameful ruins. Youth is kept busy gathering the materials with which it will build its Mansion of Memory. The two most important materials are education and experience. The best grade of education is the one that has been devel' oped in three fields: spiritual, mental, and physical. Experience is a very expensive subf stance, and must often be obtained through Dora Lee johansen great struggle. However, it is most essential, since no building can be completed without it. It adds the color, both bright spots and shadows, to our Memory. Each of us has an assistant that super' vises the building of our Mansion of Mem' ory. We usually call him by the name of Character. It is according to his influence that we formulate the major plans for our structure. He determines what kind of a building ours shall be. He has one right hand man called Conscience., This faithful aid is always striving to preserve the best points of our character., Conscience works diligently to keep out all inferior materials, but, we often disregard his counsel, thinking him a weak and unobf structive power. To our sorrow we later find that he was really working for our best in- terests. If we profit by the experience, we promote him to a more influential position and pay heed to his wise advice. 'Conscience is ever ready to do his duty, unless he has been too seriously injured by repeated ne' glect. Thus we have traced the procedure of the building of our Mansion of Memory. A life time elapses between the first gathering of materials to the last majestic touch of the decorator's hand. Each phase of life brings its special task. Though some appear unim- portant at the time, they leave an indeliable mark upon the whole. Good bricks and bad bricks must lie side by side. 'Tis only Time that can distinguish between them. Though the test may seem slow, it is both certain and allfrevealing. It has proven thus in the past, and we may be confident that it will prove thus in the future. After we have gone, our Mansion of Memory will be all that remains to represent us to those who shall follow. Will it be a great imposing building, or will it be a pitif ful little shack? lt is within our power to decide. -Dora Lee Johansen Page 80 Iv , wr: ' 'X ,Di l gl ' f- ' Q l X 41 I' We pause for a moment to pay tribute to these dearly beloved ones who having accomplished the aims for which Destiny intended them were ref called by the Maker to abide in his fold.

ENIOYMENT Dear Diary: Each week the students and faculty anxiously await the splendid assembly programs which are sponsored by the local ministers, classes and organ' izations of the school. From our regular school routine, we assemble in the auditorium as a group, to learn more about the finer things of life and for the students to show their amateur talent. Our chapel programs are not only enjoyed by the student body and faculty but also by the frequent visitors. NOVEMBER 11- The Armistice Program was presented by the American Legion, with Rev. N. E. Smith of An' gola as the guest speaker. NOVEMBER 17- Mr. Garber who lived among the Eskimos for several years and was the head of the educational system in Alaska, presented a moving picture and gave a talk which was both interesting and educaf tional.

Page 83 Annual Board Formal SOCIETY MOTHER O' MINE To mothers dear, with virtues fine, Wliat a pleasure it is to call you mine. 'Twas on May 7, that the Girl Reserves held their annual Mother and Daughter Banquet. As the girls proudly escorted their mothers into the gym, Margaret Ellen Teal rendered a delightful piano solo. Since mothers were previously excluded from the installation ceremony, this year they were inf vited to attend. On this occasion the nineteen thirtyfeight officers were replaced by their worthy successors. Following this a delectable three-course dinner was served. During the dinner hour we were favored by a vocal solo by Sara Betty Prosser. On this evening the girls tried to express their gratitude to their mothers for the deep, sympaf thetic, understanding which they possess and the many sacrifices they have made for our benefit. AN' THE GOBLINS WILL GET YOU At a dark and bewitching hour, when goblins and ghosts were in view, the Sophomores huddled together in the secret abode of spirits that walk in the night. In order to feel more in the festive mood each and every one donned masks. After judgment had been passed on their original array, the coveted awards for the nhardestftofguess and best dress' ed , went to Ralph Flinchbaugh and Williann Shatzer. As all goblins do, the Sophomores retreated to a more spirited place in company with corn stalks and witches and started to partake of delicious ref freshments. FRESHMEN FETED BY HIfY GIRL RESERVES At last! The lowly Freshmen were honored at a party by the gracious Girl Reserves, and the hearty HifY members. To the amusement of the upperfclassmen, the Freshmen and new members of the faculty were initiated in fine form, although to the Freshies , our attempts to welcome them were not so enjoyable. After each had been duly received, they were invited to the gymnasium, where pingfpong and dancing were the pastimes enjoyed. As the evening waned, hot chocolate, def licious doughnuts, combination sandwiches ref freshed the lagging appetities and all too soon the sad refrain, goodnight reverberated in our ears, and our guests bid adieu, realizing that they were a definite cog in the wheel, which makes our school run in perfect harmony. GIRL RESERVES PLEDGE ANEW THEIR FAITH A memorable evening for all Girl Reserves was on October 21, when the initiation of new mem' bers was held. The gym was dimly lighted by candles and the impressive ceremony began. The membership chairman brought in the seek' ers of the light, and before they were permitted to enter this worthy organization, various members of the club gave the signifigance of the pledge and the purpose of its teachings. As each girl came forward she earnestly repeated the pledge and lit her dark candle by the bright flame of the candle of light. After the formalities were completed, refresh' ments were served. This marked another eventful occasion in High School life. Page 84 LOCOMOTIVES COMPENf SATION The gridiron battles which were so nobly fought have quickly come to an abrupt ending. In remembrance Of their courageous struggle for su' premacy, the heroes of these games were honored at a delightful dinner given by their mothers. As the odor of chicken penetrated the air, the members of the team and the faculf ty, attired especially for this annual occasion, filed into a gaily bedecked room of blue and white. The dinner, delicious to every morsel of food, was indeed relished, I am certain that this touchdown will be long ref membered. , After several inspiring toasts, Maurice Strayer was elected honor' ary captain by his teamfmates. The occasion was honored by the pres- ence of the Coach of Athletics of Heidelberg College, who after a fine talk on football, produced on the screen, scenes of football games of the past season including major college games. The evening ended all too soon as three rousing cheers were given to the mothers, who had so graciously feted them. PARENTS MADE HAPPY Cn December 18, 1937, the Future Homemakf ers and Future Farmer's of America gave a banf quet. Each member was allowed to bring two guests. The gym was decorated in green and orchid, which transformed it into a place of real beauty. A delicious dinner was served and follow' 1 Big Apple Chatting ' ing this the program, which consisted of inspiraf tional talks by F. I. Bell, and W. G. Weiler, Ass't. State Supervisor concluded the fine program and the evening. ANNUAL BOARD DANCE GALA AFFAIR 'How well I remember the night of the Annual Board Dance. It was on March 5, and what a lovely, exciting night it was. Each member of the Annual Staff was permitted to bring a guest, which of course brought additional glamour to this gala event. As we entered the gym which was decorated in shades of lavender and green, we paused for a moment in order to accustom our eyes to the beauty of it all. As we stood in the entrance, girls glided by in their dresses of delicate pinks and blues. The strains of M. H. S's. Sophistif cated Swingsters caught our ears and we, too, were under the spell of this magic night. I am sure everyone at the dance will always remember it as one of the exciting events in their High School Life. -Phyllis Boisher -Sara Betty Prosser CALL of the TOY TRUMPETER Many wistful maidens and their gallant escorts, answered the trumpet call of the Juniors to be present at a most delightful banquet. After the delicious three course dinner dancf ing was the major interest until the va approach of the new day. Page 85 RECOLLECTIONS OF COLORFUL DAYS REVIEWING AN EVENTF UL YEAR Memories!
