It has been our privilege to labor within its halls through four of the happiest, as well as the most important, years of our lives. We have endeavored to record Within the Silhouette our impressions and actions during this time. The ideals, the traditions, and the spirit of our high school shall ever remain with us, and we sincerely hope that in the days that are to come the memories which this book recalls will be as golden shadows along the pathways of life.

At such a time it is a pleasure to express our gratitude to those who have been actively identified With, and have done so much to make it a reality. In the larger sense those who have made this book' possible are the members of the Faculty of Norwood High School, Whose faithful labors in our behalf we gratefully ac- knowledge. We desire especially, however, to express our appreciation to Miss Cora Morton, Mr. W. R. Duhn, and Mr. E. T. Hostetler, our Faculty Advisers, whose helpful guidance has been exceeded only by their never failing patience and courtesy; to our sub- scription solicitors, Who have given so faithfully of their 'services; and to all who have contributed time and ability to make the Silhouette what it is. For ourselves, we covet only the satisfaction found in the knowledge that we have done our best. THE EDITORS. Xfi W y ,747 4 V,,11 llflij III?! I 7 Q11? 177 2:1! r ,I W H Alia WWI? CLASS HISTORY OUR years ago the February Class of 1924 began its high school career. We had a much larger class then than we have now, and our Freshman year presented many novelties. The following February OQZD we became Sophomores, and, of course, we looked down upon all the green Freshies. We moved up to the second floor and certainly thought that we were coming up in the world. The next year we were J uniors and were permitted to organize our class. The organization meeting was held the second week in March, 1922. Our first election resulted in choosing Warren Welborne, President; Alice Bausmith, Vice-President; Mildred Isler, Secretary; and LeRoy Hayes, Treasurer. The next semester David Afiieck was our efiicient President, while Kathryn Curl, Mildred Isler and Freeman Young upheld the responsibilities of their offices. At last we became Seniors. Howard Kuenning was our President, with Helen Walker, Ruth Miller and David Aflieck as other officers. During our last semester Warren Welborne was President; Kathryn Curl, Vice-President; Alice Bausmith, Secretary; and Howell J ones, Treasurer. After much agitation we chose our class colors, maroon and steel. Our class has gradually become smaller, but we have been very active during the last year. We planned a class play to be given in February. For many years no other February class has given a play, so we feel that we are entitled to some dis- tinction for the success with which we presented To the Ladies.H Our class is well represented in high school activities. Howard Kuenning and Warren Welborne are two of the best players on our famous basket-ball team and received their letters this year. Ruth Thomas is on the Annual Staff and we surely are indebted to her for many things, including her untiring efforts in managing our class play. I In closing this history, our class wishes to thank its advisers, Miss Sutor, Miss Nellie Fairweather, Mr. Dunn and Miss Morton, for their kind help. KATHRYN CURL. 14 CHARLES BURNS Hi-Y Club, '23; Athletic Association '23. Charlie, having a special program, has not been with us very much the last two years- But we know from his personification of Tom Baker in our class play that he will never lack a position as long as there are theaters. KATHRYN CURL Athletic Association '20, '21, '22, '23; Masque and Scroll '22, '23; Class Vice-Presideht '22, '23. There is a girl who always makes good no matter where she may go. Kathryn is the sing- er of our class, and we predict a second Galli- Curci. So, Duke, please give us some passes when you come to Music Hall. Kathryn is always happy, always has a smile and sees the bright side of everything. We wish her success in Boston next year and a greater success in all time to come. HOWELL J ONES Basketball '19, '20, '21, '22, '23: Baseball '19; Athletic Association '19, '20, '21, '22, '23; Class Treasurer '24. Howell is the automobile salesman of our class and can talk anybody into anything or out of anything. He is the possessor of two basket- ball letters. He is also quite a ladies' man. ELIZABETH DUMONT Basketball '21, '22; Masque and Scroll '22, '23; Glee Club '20, '21, '22, '23; Athletic Asso- ciation '20, '21, '22, '23; Tennis '23; Presi- dent of Glee Club '23; Hiking Club '21, '22. Betty's favorite occupation is talking. She certainly made a fine wife in our class play and we know that a bright future awaits her. 15 HOWARD KUENNING - Basketball 22, '23, '24; Class President 123; Athletic Association 20, '21, '22, '23, ,24. Howard is the quiet member of our class!?!? But anyway he got the department grades, Howard is one of our illustrious basketball men. He also established himself as an actor in our minds. Good luck to you in the steel bUSiness, Howard, and may we see your name among the great steel men of the country. MILDRED ISLER Class Secretary '22, '23; Athletic Association ,20, ,21, ,22, '23; Masque and Scroll i22. nBilly, as she is known by her classmates, is our peppy member; she is always doing some- thing. Billy makes a wonderful taxi driver, especially in her Buick, Good luck to you in the future, Mildred. MARGARET METZGER Athletic Association 20, '21, 22, 23; Masque and Scroll 22, ,23; Hiking Club 23. Now we come to uMaggie, the stenographer, eh Maggie? If you ever want to know anything about Latin a why, ask Margaret. Margaret is a great sport, always in for everything, al- ways doing what the crowd does, and never arguing. May you always be successful, Margaret. RUTH MILLER Athletic Association ,20, ,21, '22, ,23; Class Secretary '23. Ruth is the Hstudent of our class; to prove this, she is to be our valedictoriant Ruth has no favorite study, she likes them all, and was always a joy to the teachers. She can be depended upon to do anything that she may be asked to do, Ruth, may your standing in the future always be as high as it was in high school. 16 WARREN WELBORNE Class President '22, '24; Vice-President Hi-Y Club '23; Athletic ASSOCiation '20, '21, '22, '23, '24; Football Manager '22; Basketball '23, '24. Beccy is our President who presides over us with great dignity and he has become quite famous in basketball, so you see he is a wonder- ful chap. May you always be successful in everything you undertake, Warren. RUTH MORELAND Athletic Association '22, '23; Ruth is a quiet, unassuming girl who attends strictly to her own affairs. Everybody likes her and she is always willing to do Whatever she can to help her school and class along. Good luck to you, Ruth. RUTH THOMAS Athletic Association '19, '20, '21, '22, '23; Basketball '21, '23; Mirror Staff '22; Masque and Scroll '22, '23; Tennis '22, '23; Annual Staff '24. Ruth certainly is a hard worker. She made a fine business manager, stage manager, treas- urer and prompter for our class play. Tom- my is full of fun and a peach of a friend. We can not say enough for her good qualities as they are legion. Norwood's loss will become University's gain. KATHERINE VAN ORSDEL Athletic Association '20, '21, '22; Masque and Scroll '22, '23; Tennis '21, '22, '23; Secre- tary and Treasurer '23 We were very glad when Katherine came back from Detroit, as she is one of the sweetest girls we know. She is a very conscientious student and we wish her success at U. C. 17 FREEMAN YOUNG Hi-Y Club ,23; Athletic Association 20, '21, '22, 23; Class Treasurer '23. Arguing is second nature to Freeman, and some day he will surely be a Judge of the Supreme Court. He is one of our best students and made a big hit in our class pIay. We wish him all kinds of luck, 18 CLASS WILL E, THE February Class of 1924, being of sound mind and body, do, this seventh day of March, nineteen hundred and twenty-four, declare this to be our last will and testament.

Witnesses - KATHRYN CURL HOWARD KUENNING 19 FEBRUARY CLASS PROPHECY April 25, 1938 W It is a dull gloomy day in New York City. I am sitting at the window watching for Kathryn, who has had a matinee this afternoon at the Metropolitan Opera House. Kathryn certainly has become famous in the fourteen years since we left our dear old Norwood High School. She has studied abroad and in this country, and has had the good fortune to become a member of the Opera Company. As I was in New York when she came here, having been with several big theatrical producers for the last ten years as business manager, we decided to live together. Here comes Kathryn now. She certainly looks tired. Illl bet she is glad that tonight is the last time she sings this winter. I know Ilm glad that next week is the end of our season, because Ilm certainly worn out. I think a long vacation would be nice for us. I wonder where llDuke, as I call her, would like to go, or what she would like to do. I was reading the other day about these world cruises that so many people have been taking, and discovering how wonderful they seem. I am going to talk to Duke about it; I think it would be a splendid vacation as well as a delightful trip. May 21 e We are to sail J une twenty-fifth, on the Empress of India. We leave here at four dcloek in the afternoon and go through the Panama Canal to San Francisco; then the trip really begins. J uly 11 e It has been sixteen days since we left New York and we are near- ing San Francisco. We stopped off at Havana, Colon and Panama City At Panama City we certainly had a surprise. Duke and I wanted some travelers, checks cashed, and we decided to go to the bank to get the money instead of asking for it at the hotel. We happened to glance at the names over the win- dows of the bank, and whose name should we see there as President but that of our old friend and classmate, Freeman Young. Freeman told us he had been president of the bank for five years. He said he had come to Panama almost immediately after graduation from high school and had started in as a clerk in the institution of which he was now president. We were sorry that we could not stay longer and talk with him, but we made him promise that he would come to see us if he came to the States. He told us that that would be in the fall of next year because he is coming back to be married, but most unfortunately we forgot to ask who is the lucky'girl. July 26 g California is a wonderful state and San Francisco a lovely city. Last evening a crowd of us went to the St. Francis Hotel to a big dance. I was sitting out a dance when I heard two voices that seemed to sound familiar. I turned around to see if I knew the speakers, and to my great surprise they were Mildred Isler and Howell J ones. I sent my escort for Duke and we had a regular class reunion. Mildred said she was one of the leading ladies for the FamousePlayers Lasky Company and was down for a couple of days from Holly- wood. She had met Howell, who was living in Friscofl and was president of a large automobile concern. We told them about seeing Freeman and all about our trip. We talked till I know our escorts thought we were human 20 l victrolas. We certainly regretted that we had to sail today, for we should have liked to stay with them longer and to talk more about our good old school days at Norwood. August 30 a We have thoroughly enjoyed Hawaii. At noon today Duke and I, with some of the people we met on the boat, decided to go to a certain famous tea room for lunch. When we got there one of the company said that she had been there several times before and that she knew the owner, and would like to see her again. She called a waiter and asked him if the proprietor was in ; if so,t0 tell her that Miss McClary would like to see her. Here Duke and I had another surprise, for this proprietor turned out to be Elizabeth Dumont. Elizabeth told us she was crazy about her work and intended staying here for a long time as she is to be married next week to the owner of a large hotel in Honolulu. She begged us to stay for the ceremony, but boats do not wait for weddings and in a few days we sail for Japan. September 16 m We were nine days at sea from Hawaii to Yokohama. As we were coming from the boat to the hotel in a rickshaw I though I saw an old-home face coming towards us. When the little carriage passed I'knew that the face I had seen was that of a friend a I knew it was Howard Kuenning. I called to the coolie to turn around and overtake the gentlemen we had just passed. We caught up with it and both rickshaws stopped together. Howard recognized us immediately. He was so surprised I really thought his eyes were going to fall out. He told us that he had charge of the steel construction work in Yokohama and Tokio. October 1 e We spent fourteen days in J apan and Howard showed us a great time. We certainly hated to leave him, but after extracting a promise from him that he would come to see us in New York when he comes home next spring, we are sailing away to China and the Philippines. October tdate blurredi e At Manila we went to the Santa Ann, the largest dancing cabaret in the world. Here we met Ruth Miller and Ruth Moreland, who were chaperoning a group of girls from a fashionable boarding school in Massachusetts. They, too, were on a world cruise, but they had gone from New York to England, then eastward. Ruth Miller told us that she was the principal of the school and that Ruth Moreland was her assistant. We thorL oughly enjoyed seeing them and came to the conclusion that we were to meet someone we knew in every port. . November 2 - From the Philippines we went to Java, then to Singapore, and Rangoon in Burmah. From there to Calcutta. Duke and I had had shocks and surprises all along the way, but the greatest of all was the day we went inland to Benares. We were watching some magicians and noticed a very familiar person standing about ten feet from us. Duke recognized this man first and nearly dropped dead, for who should it be but Charlie Burns. We talked with him for over an hour and learned that he was a magician and was getting new tricks to take back to the States. We told him we had never heard of him professionally, but we immediately learned the reason why, for he had taken the stage name of Thomas Baker. We then remembered that we really had 21 heard a great deal about the famous llThomas. But we had never dreamed that Thomas Bakerll was Charlie Burns. We might have guessed, for Charlie Burns was nThomas Bakerll in our class play. November 19 7 We left India after spending ten days there. Traveling through the Red Sea to Cairo, we went up the Nile to Karnak. While at Cairo we met Margaret Metzger. Most amazing to find Margaret Metzger there! She stayed with us the whole time we were in Cairo. She said that her hobby was museums and places where they were excavating kings who had lived thou- sands of years ago. November 28a Naples and Rome were our next stops. In Rome Duke had bad luck, for she lost her passport. This called for a visit to the American Ambassador. To our great surprise we were admitted to the ambassadors private office immediately after sending in our cards. Duke and I were won- ' dering how it happened, but our wonders suddenly ceased when we looked at our countryls representative, who proved to be our old class president, Warren Welborne. We were so surprised we could hardly talk. Warren was the same old Warren in spite of his high position. December 22 A Duke decided that it would be interesting to go to Paris, and from Paris to London by airplane. This we did, and the day we left for London we had another surprise, for who should be listed as one of the passen- gers but out dear old friend Katherine Van Orsdel. We met Katherine at the plane and talked all the way across about old friends and everything in general. We asked what she was doing and she told us that she had been in Paris for the last two months buying new gowns and seeing the latest creations, as she owned a fashionable ladiesl shop on Fifth Avenue. Much to our delight she stayed with us in London and came home with us on the same ship. We landed at Montreal and came on down to New York by train. Katherine promises us she will be a frequent visitor, as she is rather lonesome, having lived in New York only a year. February 10 7 It was late when Duke arrived home last night, but we sat up and talked for a long time. I just happened to look up at the date and saw it was the ninth of February. I asked whether she remembered what we were doing on that 'night fifteen years ago. She said yes, that it was the night of our class play, and that it was then that she decided that she would become a singer. It was then, too, that I made up my mind to take up the stage as a profession. We sat there and thought and talked about a little of everything, and especially about our trip. We decided that the world is a very small place after all, for no matter where one goes, one finds someone she knows. RUTH V.

In the following September, with doubtful expectations, we again united under the common name of Freshmen. The upper classmen in pompous fashion soon revealed their thoughts by informing-us that we were meagerly fitted for the hardships of high school life. In the customary manner they immediately divulged the secrets of their cause. The well-known fountain of youth was visited and in all hilarity we were immersed in the cool waters of our famous town. Then in our watery togs we were transported to unknown regions about Cincinnati, where we were left to our destiny. All this was done with due ceremony, and we essayed to make our way homeward Via the ulift route, assisted by beneficent passersby. Our determination to reach the goal brought us back in time to attend the Freshman Reception, where we humbly allowed the Seniors to teach us the art of dancing. Of course, during the first year we studied diligently to gain a good reputation. Although in a new field 0f knowledge, the boys bravely' received their training in football. We Were delighted with the novel idea of auditorium sessions and, strange to say, we felt little regret at the loss of a reci- tation. ' Although we were somewhat disappointed at not being permitted to seek revenge on the Freshmen for the horrors of initiation which we had endured in the previous year, these deeds were relegated to the past upon our promotion to the distinction of being Sophomores. This year our studies grew more difficult and we became more serious. The monotony of the studies, however, was broken by the Sophomore Dance and the various athletic activities. On October 4, 1923, the June Class 24 inaugurated its political career under the guidance of Miss Nellie Fairweather. John DeBold was elected President, with Marion Schmidt, Robert Barrows and Mary Elizabeth Lans- downe as his fellow officers. At a later meeting it was decided to have scarlet and gray for our class colors. The Junior Mask Dance was given 011 October 25. At this party, the costumes in their variegated colors added greatly to the merriment. The class was an enthusiastic supporter of athletics. Raymond Pens and Dick Zimmerman were among those who achieved distinction in football. Numerous poems were contributed to the Mirror, by J ack Kerley, our class poet. The officers for the second semester were: Harry Fry, President; Cintrilla Carver, Vice-President; Mary Elizabeth Lansdowne, Treasurer; Audrey Wat- son, Secretary. The Senior-Junior Dance was a great success and our appre- ciation of it was amply shown when we, in return, entertained the Seniors. As a fitting conclusion to our year as Juniors, we acted in the capacity of ushers at the 1923 Commencement exercises having decorated the stage and the reception halls for that memorable occasion. After the summer vacation we came back to old Norwood Hi for our last year. Yes, we were Seniors, but our position did not seem very great after all. 26 We were just the same folks we had been in the previous year. In this, our Senior year, Mr. Johnson, who had entered the high school with our class, be- came Superintendent of the Norwood schools, and Mr. Howe took his place as Principal of the high school. William Mashburn secured the necessary votes to control our destiny during the hrst semester. Edna Gentile, Dorothy Gillham, and Margaret Hanshew were his co-operators, while Miss Morton and Mr. Dunn assisted as our Faculty Advisers. This semester was celebrated by the far-famed ttkiddy-car race at the Freshman Reception. The honor of being our last President was conferred upon Charles Riley, who proved himself very worthy. Florence Connor, Harry Fry and Verna Schumacher were the remaining offlcers. The Senior-Junior Dance and the Class Play were the closing events of our high school life. The Senior Class is now about to separate into new paths. If the way be tortuous, beset with snares and sinister demons, let the knowledge we have gained overwhelm any tribulation or adversity which may present itself. Our sun is just rising. We are commencing to live and learn. The future is nebu- lous with uncertainty but we should ever maintain a profound gratitude for the advantages which our teachers and friends have extended. May we in constancy endeavor to 7 . . . . . Follow the Christ, the King, Live pure, speak true, right wrong, follow the King? LUCILLE BASSON. LOUIS SAUR. CLASS WILL E, 'THE June Class of nineteen hundred and twenty-four, do, this first day of J une in the aforesaid year, being of sane mind, devise and bequeath the following: To our parents, whoge undying love made it possible for us to receive the education we have just finished, our sincerest thanks, and the hope that we may become all that they would have us be. To Mr. Howe and the Faculty, our sincerest appreciation of their efforts in our behalf, to prepare us for the trials which are to come. T0 the future classes, the hope that they will excel even us, and profiting by our example will strive to attain perfection in the lessons which come before them each day. To the dear old school, our everlasting love and esteem, and the cherished hope that it will continue to grow onward and upward, until the glory of the ttGem 0f the Highlands shall be reflected from its open portals. We do solemnly swear this to be our last will and testament, and do hereby afhx our hand and seal. CHARLES RILEY, President. Witnesses e MARY E. LANSDOWNE.

T WAS a beautiful fall day in the year 1954. Four men were sitting in the grill room of Norwood's largest and newest hotel The Norcin, owned and operated by J ohn Truitt and Hoyt Welborne, for, since Norwood had annexed Cincinnati, and had grown so tremendously, it needed all of the seven hotels of which it boasted. These four men proved to be very intimate acquaint- ances of ours; namely, Messrs. Lloyd Adams, Robert Badgley, Robert BarrOWS and Robert Braun, all of them high financiers, and keenly interested in politics. Lloyd Adams was speaking in a grave tone. Gentlemen, I am afraid that the Democratic Convention, for which we have been working so hard, will not come to our fair city; our bid of $800,000 has been topped by Cleveland. We-have reached our limit, and their offer of $900,000 will be accepted tomor- row! He ceased speaking, and the faces of all the men were grave, for they had counted tremendously on having the convention in Norwood, not only' for the business it would bring to the local merchants, but also for the prestige it would add to the town. The face of Mr. Badgley suddenly lighted up as he eagerly turned to Mr. Barrows. Why, perhaps we can get the Democratic League of Women Voters to contribute something. That's itfl exclaimed Mr. Barrows, ttletis call up the President, Miss Edna Gentile, right away! So Mr. Braun hunted up a telephone, and iii a few minutes came back, saying: Miss Gentile said she felt sure that her society would advance $50,000, but could give no more, as they have urgent need for the rest of their money for the coming campaign.u Just as the faces of the four were again showing their disappointment, the door of the grill swung open, and in walked the richest man in the whole town, Mr. Charles Riley. Good evening, gentlemen, was his salutation, as he strode up to the table at which they were sitting, and shook hands with them.

Delegations were coming in by the train load. The excite- ment was intense. ' Mary Elizabeth Lansdowne represented the ttWomen of Maine? a strong contingent, which was pushing Lycurgus Shields of Minnesota for President; while Ruth Donnerberg, Frances Denton, Julia Harris, and Margaret North, leading delegations from North Dakota, Iowa, Missouri and Utah, were favoring the nomination of William Warner of Florida. The various bands playing all over town were under the general supervision of Earl Alford and William Mashburn, while the Radio Programs were arranged by Belden Saur and Henry Levison. The night before the Convention was to meet a great show was arranged at the Norwood Hippodrome, the largest theater in the world, featuring ttBlanche Dickins, the Silver-Tongued Song Bird, accompanied by Cintrilla Carver. This pair had cancelled engagements before the kings of Europe in order to be present in their old home town for this great occasion. Following this the premier cornetist of the world, one of the proudest products of Norwood, played several magnificent selections and received a great ovation from the audience, this being our talented Virginia Bush. Next on the program there was a fancy dancing act by the twelve most graceful dancers in the world, adjudged so at the Olympic Games held in Athens in the spring of 1952. These were none other than our old friends, Ruth Greiwe, Ellen Harney, Mildred Pohlman, Ruth Seeger, Griselda Finster, Beulah Evans, Opal Ballard, Dorothy Kelly, Florence Connor, Audrey Watson and Virginia Seaman. They indeed proved acceptable to the mighty audience as they were recalled again and again. is :14 :4: 3k 3k 9k 9k 3k 3H :14 Morning came and the hall in which the battle for the nomination was to take place was a scene of wild confusion. Banners bearing the names of every statein the Union were to be seen. People were shouting, and when William Pistor assumed the speakers chair, he had to call on Roy Schuyler and Ray Sebille to help him establish order. When at length he could be heard, he asked that the candidates be named. tiWilliam Warner!H shouted the Women of Maine. Then more confusion. Speeches by Dorothy Gillham, Charlotte Carroll and Margaret Hanshew followed, extolling the fitness of Mr. Warner for President, begging for the support of the convention, and asking that the other delegations support him. Mr. Pistor then called for other nominations and Frances Denton, speaking for the West, cried: ttLycurgus Shields! More confusion, and when order was again restored, David Hamilton, J ohn DeBold and Albert Bolsinger spoke for this candidate. A motion was made that nominations be closed, but this was immediately met by the indignant protest of J ohn J ohnston and Earl Alford, representing the Central States a Indiana and Ohio: 50 ttMr. Chairman, we move that nominations be kept openW was their shout. There is a motion on the floor that the nominations be closed!u thundered Speaker Pistor. uSecond the motion! cried Curtis Clements of Alabama. HMotion'made and seconded. All in favor, signify by saying aye. Ayeji a great chorus responded. ttContrary? No! from almost as great a chums. The ayes have it. Nominations are closed. Then the delegations from Indiana Ued by John J ohnstony, of Kentucky Ued by Harry Schuberty, of Tennessee ded by Willis Schomburgy, and of West Virginia Oed by Martin Rossy, stampeded and went to another hall, splitting the Democratic ticket and nominating J ohn Cordes for President. Arthur Cains as Chief of Police had his hands full during these trying days, and had to call on Governor Leucht to send some militia, under the leadership of Walter Bettinger and Ray Bohsdorf, to help restore order. The cartoons of George Heilman in the ttSun and the editorials by Florence Gossin and Mildred Rhoten excited much comment. The official pictures of the Convention were taken by Lucille Basson and Hiram Bolsinger, while Wel- borne and Wharff had the exclusive right to the Pictorial News. Verha Sehumacher and Marion Schmidt were the busy stendgraphers, while Loretta Wahl and Bernard Footliek were historians. Representing great news syndi- cates from every corner of the country were Edgar Burns, Louis Saur and Helen Schenck, whileeEivera Hillebrand, Elizabeth Krieg and Virginia Bacon had charge of all the official printing. Alice Bausmith had furnished the two halls in Which the meetings were held and the Whole town voted the convention a tremendous success.

JACK KEELEY. ATHLETICS C. H. FORDYCE Director of Athletics 54 FOOTBALL HE football season proved unsuccessful in so far as the winning of games is concerned, and that is probably the greatest factor in determining the sucn cess of any season or of any team. The team itself was light and inexperienced. Not one letter man was left from last yearis squad. Bettinger, Pons and Rednour, who should have been the nucleus of a winning combination, were lost to this yearls team through a new eligibility ruling of the Southwestern Ohio Athletic Association. Ross, the only other available veteran, was out for the season because of an injury to his knee which developed into blood-poison- ing. J 0e Aston, Norb Eshmeyer, Allen Stone, Clarence Shepler, Tom Grace, Bill Hoerr, Leslie Peet, Dick Whiting and Charles Earhart had all graduated and Blacksmith Zimmerman had left school. This accounts for last year's men. Great credit must be given Coach Fordyce for the team he developed from the eager crowd of new-comers Who presented themselves on the first day of practice. After much drilling and many gruelling workouts, he selected the following to represent Old Norwood on the gridiron: Captain Bolsinger at left end; Earle Miller at center, with the Moore brothers, Bohsdorf, Levison, Wolf, DeBold, Clements and Kaucher to divide the honors 0n the line. The backfield consisted of Byron at fullback; Truitt at left half, Burling atright half, and Valentiner and Dunn sharing the quarterback role. Some of the scrubs Who were always willing to fill a gap were Mitchell, Martz, Easterling, Schumacher, Stevenson and Tresler. Although the team was exceptionally light, averaging 140 pounds, speed was expected to counterbalance this handicap. The first game of the season was witnessed by a large crowd of meters, who welcomed the Big Red t0 the seasonls grind With much cheering. The boys were so enthused that they walloped Newport to the tune of 20 to 0. Runs by Truitt and Byron featured. The classical way in which the forward passes looped to their destinations made us feel that Norwood again would demon- strate her superiority. On October 5 the Red Team and many loyal rooters journeyed to Miamis- burg. The game was very exciting and the intense rooting of the Norwood followers will never be forgotten by the supporters of the opposing team. To our great sorrow the Big Red lacked confidence and Norwood suffered its first defeat of the season. The new shifts and formations of the Miamisburg Blues completely baffled our boys The final whistle found the score 13 t0 2 in the opponents favor. Bolsinger and Miller played best for us, while the diminutive quarterback, Brown, took the honors on the side of the Blues. October 11 witnessed the first invasion of a city team upon our battlefield. Woodward was out to avenge the 7 4 to 0 defeat of last season. New plays and shifts were brought into action by both teams and a hotly contested battle ensued. A touchdown and drop-kick accounted for Woodwardts points while Burling was responsible for our lone touchdown. Norwood threatened to tie 55 FOOTBALL Standing, back row, left to right Coach Fordyce, Easterling, Truitt, Reid, Bohsdorf, Levison, Dunn, DeBold, Manager A. Bolsinger.

The game drew the largest crowd of the season and our new field was packed to capacity. The cheering on both sides was intense. Norwood started with a rush and scored first through a placement-kick by Miller. The Tigers rallied and proeeeded to crush their lighter opponents. Our boys were outweighed twenty pounds to a man, but they went down to defeat fighting. Captain Bolsinger suffered a broken collar bone in this game. This deprived the team of its best end for the rest of the season. The score was 26 t0 3. The Hughes game was nothing more than a repetition of the East contest. Our boys must be given credit, however, for the line way in which they took their defeat. Without their captain and minus the services of several players through ineligibility, the team was not as strong as when they met East. Anderson featured for the opponents with his line plunges. It was impossible to stop him. Hughes rolled up a total of 34 and held us scoreless. Our ancient rivals from across the river were next to challenge our ability on the gridiron. Norwood had defeated Covington often in the last few years and the hope of another Victory aroused our spirit. But alas! our hopes were unavailing, for the Big Red bowed to the team from the Blue Grass State to the tune of 14 to 0. Norwood threatened to score several times, but the final punch was lacking. Lockland, the following week, visited our iield with colors flying. The Lock- land rooters were confident of winning, but our boys seemed imbued with the spirit of former years and punched across the only touchdown of the game by a pass from Byron to Martz. J oy reigned again in the Norwood camp for victory had come at last. Norwood 6, Lockland 0. The last game of the season was played at Springfield with the high school of that city. Norwoed put up a game fight, but was outclassed. The game was rather loosely played and the final score found Norwood trailing by 26 points. The Springfield team was exceptionally heavy for a high school team. Norwoodts only thriil was a fifty-yard open field run by Byron. The score: Springfield 40, Norwood 14. Although the season was one of the most disappointing witnessed in recent years, the team displayed fine spirit and exhibited excellent effort. The whole school was behind them first, last and all the time. It is hopefully believed that next yearis team will give a better account of itself, since most of this years Squad will remain in school and can be counted on to do their part when the call for players comes next fall. Earle Miller and Larry Burling proved themselves the outstanding stars of the season. Mr. Howe, our Principal, deserves our thanks for the line stand he took in the support of athletics. He was one of the most ardent rooters and followed the team through victory or defeat. 57 BASKETBALL Standing, left to right Coach Miller, Werner, G'oelz, Gerrard, Manager Johnston.

He had his hands full picking a team since there was not a regular to start with. Again the Association took a crack at our team, eliminating Whitie Pens, captain-elect, one of the best high school players in this part of the state. J ones was also ineligible. Riley graduated and Zimmerman quit school. Kuenning, Valentiner, Welborne, Miller and Meyers were left from last years squad. Earle Miller was elected captain. Dunn, who played on the second team last year, developed into a regular star. J ohnson, also from last yearis seconds, won his place on the lirst team. Some new fellows came out and made good. Among them were Barrows, Werner and Gerrard. This is Gerrardis first year at N. H. S. and he will be of great service in the next few years. Eddie Meyers would have been a great help to the team had he been eligible. Sprigg, Braun and Byron were seen in several games. ' A great deal onyhard luck was experienced this season. At the first of the winter, with Kue ning and Welborne in the line-up, we had a pretty snappy team. With this team we lost but one game and that by but two points. The loss of the two graduates in February was felt very keenly. David Valentiner was counted on to fill one of these vacancies and did so for a few games, but iiBud received a dislocated finger in practice which put him out for the season. Barrows, when not fighting with Johnson for forward position, played running guard, and Vic Meyers fitted nicely in Welbornels place at back guard. Near the end of the season the team Was strengthened by the addition of Julius Goelz, who came here from Woodward. Goelz added a good deal to the size of the team. He .was chosen to the All-High School team of Cincinnati. Great stuff, J uliusl , The opening game, December 14, was with Owensville. The team showed lots of speed and took the game from the visitors 27 to 18. Maybe they didn,t look pretty in their new blue suits! Mr. Miller certainly can pick attractive equipment.

Milford gave us no opposition and were trounced 61 to 5. All the subs got a chance in this game and everyone showed up in fine form. On January 18 our tso fan winning quintet motored to Indiana. and met the Aurora High School five. The floor they played on was extra large and Norm wood seemed lost. Aurora showed some very snappy passing and outplayed us on offense and defense. Bakerts spectacular dribbling aided Aurora in win- ning. Dunn was able to drop them in from the middle of the 11001' and scored most of our points. Kuenning played a wonderful game and always kept Aurora worried.

The large crowd which saw it received plenty of thrills. Just as soon as one team ran ahead, some one on the other would drop in a basket and even things up. The game ended with a tie score and five extra minutes were required to decide the Winner. Kuenning and Welborne, who graduate with the February Class, played their final game for Norwood.

On February 1, Norwood traveled to Eaton, Ohio, only to be defeated 25 to 15. Out-of-town games did not agree with our boys. They were defeated on every trip this year. The Eaton game was played in an armory. Due to rafters and poor baskets no one could hit the cage. Norwood had just as many shots at the basket as Eaton but could not make them count. Dunn saved us from a bad defeat by dropping in three baskets in a row just before the whistle blew. To meet the loss of Kuenning and Welborne, Barrows was shifted to running guard and Vic Meyers took back guard. Bolsinger and Pens flivvered up to see the game.

Norwood was no match for the Stivers aggregation and we were swamped 48 to 21. With both J ohnson and Barrows in the line-up the team looked rather small. Norwood held the visitors fairly well during the first half, but after Meyers was put out on personals Stivers scored at will and ran up a large score. Stivers team work and defense puts them in a class with the best teams of the country. 61 NORWOOD e STIVERS ,4 Dunn m ...................... 7 Otto m ....................... 10 J ohnson lf-l .................... 2 Ramby m .................... 8 Miller th ...................... 9 Cox th. . . -------------------- 2 Barrows th .................... 2 English th -------------------- 9 Meyers th ..................... 0 Traulwein tg-l ----------------- 4 Gerrardtfl 0 Stylestfj.....,..i...H.A...H 5 Brauntcl O Rogersdin.........t.....,... 5 Spriggth ..................... 1 Ternertg.l..li...4lul.ll..l..5 21 - 48 Referee e Abrams. THE TRI - STATE TOURNAM ENT The following week the Tri-State Tournament was held at the University Of Cincinnati. As luck would have it Norwood drew Hughes for the first game. As Hughes was not on our schedule this year we were very glad to have this opportunity to meet our old rivals. Our quintet seemed to forget the tourna- ment and their only thought was beat Hughes. And did we beat them? Nothing could have stopped us and Hughes went down before Norwood 20 t0 9. Norwood 'got the jump on Hughes and they never even threatened to tie the score. Hughes did not wake up until after the game was over. Ted Dunn could not miss the basket and dropped them in from all angles. J ohnson played rings around his six-foot, two-hundred-pound opponent. Hughes was picked as a probable winner of the tournament and this defeat in the first round was a great surprise. Hughes made a big mistake when they laughed at the size of their opponents.

Our second game in the tournament was with Wingate andq. Our cagers must have had the ublues in this game. There was noneiof the pep and spirit which beat Hughes. The half ended 5 to 5 and the game ended 11 to 11. But Wingate came out two points ahead in the extra play. We will try to forget this disappointment and only remember our Victory over Hughes. The small but speedy Smithville five won the tournament.

We admit that Covington out- played us,alth0ugh they missed many easy opportunities to Score. After a close race Covington led at the half. Norwood came back strongly and evened up the score. Norwood got the worst end of the mix-up' Which occurred in this game. When the timerts whistle blew at the end of the game Norwood was leading 27 to 26, but the referee failed to hear the whistle in the excitement and play continued just long enough for Stewart, Covingtonis star, to drop in a winning basket. The referee gave Covington the game. Manager Johnston promised to use a small cannon instead of a tin whistle at our next game. Goelz and Meyers were the stars for Norwood.

Norwood entered the Southwestern Ohio Sectional Tournament again this year. The tournament was held in the Coliseum at the Fair Grounds in Dayton, Ohio, under the auspices of the Dayton University. Norwood met Xenia in the first round and was decisively beaten 29 to 17. Goelz made most of our points. Stivers and Springfield won the Class 2A division and Plattsburg and Fairview carried away Class B2 honors. These teams represented south- western Ohio in the state tournament at Columbus. Norwood went but of its class to play the U. C. Scrubs but came home with the bacon just the same. The Scrubs started with a rush, but soon fell before our fighting team. Julius Goelz featured with his dribbling and was high scorer for the evening. Dunn played his usual snappy game. 63 Norwood was scheduled to play Lebanon this year. The game was called off and a game with West Night substituted. This game proved to be very exciting. The score ran evenly until the last quarter when Norwood took the lead. Goelz featured by scoring six baskets during the flrst half, but failed to hnd the cage during the last division. Gutzweiler starred for the night school boys.

Our cagers put up a good game and came very near beating the Cincinnati champions. East led by a fair margin at the half. Meyers went out on personal fouls, but his place was filled ably by Werner. Coleman also had four personals and his loss was felt by East. The Norwood hve staged a wonderful comeback in the second half and brought the score to a tie. Frank Johnson slipped in several baskets. Then two long shots by J ohn Race put the game tton ice for East. The score at the end was 26 to 30. The team deserves much credit for the fine game they played. Considering the great diEerence in size between the two teams, our boys did very well to keep the score so close. Goelz got himself into a scrap about eligibility and was not allowed to play.

Fifteen games were played, seven of them victories and eight defeats, but our boys scored 394 points to their opponents 344, so this evened things up. The following players earned their basketball letters: John J ohnston tManagerL Earle Miller, Theodore Dunn, Frank Johnson, Robert Barrows, Donald Meyers, Warren Welborne and Howard Kuenning. ttTedh Dunn has been selected to captain next yeafs team. Ted deserves the honor and we wish him great success. The prospects for the coming year look very bright. Dunn, J ohnson, Gerrard and Werner will still be with us. A center and a good guard, however, will have to be developed from the new men who will try out for the team.

This was Miss Regatzkys first year as coach and Miss Pickelheimerts as assistant. The success of this season, due mainly to their coaching, is shown in the fact that the team not only won nineteen of its twentynone games, but also scored 706 points as against 285 scored by its opponents. There is no doubt that the success of the team is due as much to the faithful- ness of the subs who played against the regulars as to the team itself. Merle Loos, Katherine Goehler, Una Steuber and Elizabeth Ahlers stayed by until the very end, and deserve no little credit, when it is remembered that there was practically no chance of their making a letter. Our forwards, EstherKahle twho took Mildred Easton's place as captain in the middle of the seasoni, Emily Dickman and Elizabeth Radcliffe, our all- star team player, were the active factors in our high scores this season. It has never been determined which of the three is the substitute. The guards, Mildred Easton, Charlotta Abbott, Marjorie Bowman and Mildred Klein have all taught the opponent's forwards to dread them. uSkeets Abbott, though this is her first year on the team, played one of the best games of basketball ever seen. Mildred Pohhnan, the center, handled the ball at her position in an excellent manner. Much of the success of the season was due to her passwork and earnest effort in the pivotal position. lone Ogle, side-center, is the smallest and fastest girl on the team. She is the wonder of both rooters and players alike, her excellent playing in the center-box leaving nothing to be desired. Elizabeth Ahlers has not only aided the team by her playing, but by living up to her nickname. It was Pepls handling of the resin, iodine and alcohol at the tournament that made the team what it was. Henrietta Erdman played the games from the officials table. With the help of Mr. Warmoth, who held the stop-watch, the timing and the scoring were handled eflieiently. Good times were not lacking this season. The girls traveled to Wilmington on February 15 and were entertained by the Wilmington squad. Through the kindness of Henrietta Erdman, Mr. Hostetler and Adrian French the journeys to Hamilton, Franklin and Madisonville were made intmachines. The entire squad joins in thanking them. The forecast for next year looks very promising as only one girl, Mildred Pohhnan, center, graduates. With this promising squad, surely the next sea- sorfs success ought to be fully as great as this years was. 67 THE SCORES Norwood ....................... 60 Norwood ....................... 31 Norwood .....

It seems as though twice as many candidates should have turned up for practice, but Coach Fordyce did the best he could under the circumstances. The first game with Walnut Hills High showed greatly the lack of practice. The hill top boys knocked us all around the field and easily t'copped the game by a score of 11 to 5. Our boys staged a ninth inning rally, but the eleven run lead was too much to overcome. The next start was much brighter for Old Norwood. The team had better form and easily defeated Highland High School 11 to 1. Schomberg and Byron did good work on the mound. At the time of going to press it is rather hard to predict What kind of a season we will have, but we know that the team will do its best and we hope they will bring in many scalps. e Pons, Fetters, Stone, Hayes, Bradley, Shepler and Rednour will be missed on this yearls team. Their places are being filled very Well by the new men. Goelz will do the catching this year. The pitching is divided among Schom- berg, Byron, Mitchell and Miller twho ordinarily will hold down flI'St base positioni. Gerrard seems to have second pretty well in hand. tiBill Pistor will play short stop and Charlie Martz at third. .Truitt, Footlick and Mitchell will cover the outfield. Some changes may be advisable before the end of the season We hope that Burling will be eligible before the season Closes.

In comparing his civilization with the more perfect one in his mind, he gradually made it conform with the idealistic one. This movement, which is better known as the progress of civilization, can be considered as the standardization of civiliza- tion, thestandard of comparison being the idealistic culture in the minds of the people. Nations all over the earth felt the impulse to better their condition at about the same time. Naturally, one isolated group of people would form ideas different from those of any other, and, in making their civilization con- form to these ideas, a mode of existence unlike any other was developed. When these groups came into contact withone another, either because of war or migration, the different forms of civilization were exchanged, many new ones were formed and old ones were discarded, till, by the process of formation and elimination, civilization was advanced through the barbaric and civilized ages. Many elements of civilization were considered, but those that received the most attention were religion, government and industry. Because of the superstitious minds of the ancient people, the religious phase of civilization was, perhaps, the first to receive their attention. It will be re- called that the ancients had a god or goddess for every conceivable thing, not dreaming that there could be one God powerful enough to be the Deity of the entire earth. This idea of many gods was held by all the nations of the world till a movement was started by the Hebrews for the reduction in the number of gods, or, in other words, for the standardization of religion. Such a thought must have had its appeal to the highly civilized people, for the success of the movement is apparent from the fact that a great majority of these people today worship but one Deity. ' Primitive people early turned their attention to government because this phase of civilization was necessary for their existence. As many different kinds of government sprang up as there were nations, and for many years people endured the despotic rulers that formed these governments. The Greeks were among the first, however, to recognize that the rule of a few was far surpassed by a government by the many, and accordingly formed such a govern- ment. Since that time democracy has been experimented with by nearly every nation of importance to such an extent that most of these nations enjoy a demo- cratic government. Only in recent years has it been found out that a great saving in time and money could be eifected by standardization in business. Before this was done, many industries wasted large amounts of money on the great variety of designs . of their product, a condition that was unnecessary. In some cases fifty percent of their stock, money and machinery was tied up for the same reason. The buyer of a manufactured article also felt the burden of a lack of standardization not only when he came to pay for the article, but also When he had to select it from such a variety of styles. Now waste and confusion and vexation in the selection of a purchase is eliminated by the reduction in the number of 72 styles. Standardization in many industries, especially in the automobile business, is the only cause of the comparatively low price of the products. The remarkable progress our country has made in the last century is due not only to the standardization of business, but also to the standardization of the gauge of the railroads. This condition has allowed the switching of cars from one system to another and has thus prevented a great waste of time and money caused by the frequent handling of freight. The question which now arises is: Which phase of standardization will be completed first? In the newspapers we read of wars that are converting monarehies into democracies. Industrial magazines picture very vividly the success of standardization in business. Churches tell of the progress toward the universal belief in one God. All the elements of standardization are endeav- oring to gain our attention. Standardization becomes a contest in Which the strongest element will win out.1t is impossible to foretell the results of this struggle today, but it might be said that the winner may be proclaimed within a few centuries ROBERT BADGLEY. NORWOOD HIGH N THE gathering dusk of the twilight, when the golden afterglow Is caressing the Gem of the Highlands, having passed up from below, Eter the gleaming has turned to darkness, and given its place to night, Then the memtries that come are the dearest, in the haze of the fading light. The memTies that come of your schooldays, and of friends that you have known And you wonder if they,ve been successful, or if, being battered and blown By the Winds of mischance, theytve descended to realms of sorrow and pain, Neter again to aspire to the glory they thought they would some day attain. And how you'd like once more to see it, the campus green and wide, And to climb the great steps to the portal, and View the broad halls inside; For a love comes back undiminished, one that will never die I As with mem'ry you journey backward to your youth at Norwood High. Old Norwood High, we salute you! May your great fame never end, May your Red and your Blue be eternal, and deep in the sky may they blend. May the men you have trained do you honor, your women be loyal and true, Your children forever and ever rehecting great credit on you. JACK KERLEY, June, 1924. 74 THE MIRROR HE close of school for the summer vacation marks the end of another successful year for the Mirror, the weekly newspaper of the Norwood High School. The first half of the year found the Mirror in the hands of the staff which had been elected the previous February, consisting of the following students: Editor g Hoyt Welborne Assistant Literary Editor e Thelma v Assistant Editor ; Henry Levison. Meyers. Circulation Manager g Curtis Clements. Boys Athletic Editor e Robert Barrows. Assistant Circulation Manager - Frank Girls, Athletic Editor - Emily Dickman. J ohnson. Exchange Editor - Ellen Harney Business Manager - Arthur Cainei Assistant Exchange Editor - Charles Assistant Business Manager - Charles Martz. Riley. Current News Editor e Ruth Seeger. Advertising ManagereWilliam Maitland. Assistant Current News Editor - Mar- Literary Editor e- Mildred Rhoten. garet Ryan. The plan of having the staff elected in the middle of the school year worked out very well and the first copy of the Mirror was in the hands of its readers three weeks after the opening of school. This was due to the fact that it was not necessary for the staH to spend much time in organizing tsince this had been accomplished when it took officei, and the editors were thus able to dispatch the work of publication with very iittle delay. Among the many innovations attempted through the Mirror this year ,was the prize story contest, initiated to encourage the writing of short stories. Elizabeth Krieg won the first prize with her story entitled, For Want of a Patch? Katherine Van Orsdel won the second prize, and the third prize was awarded to Mildred Rhoten. The staff had hardly reassembled after the Christmas holidays, before February rolled around with its snowy weather, bringing with it the close of the first semester, and the time for the election of a new staif. This election, held in the first week of February, was closely contested, and resulted in putting the following people into ofhce: Editor e Charles Martz. Assistant Editor - Helen Meyers. Circulation Manager e Frank Johnson. Literary Editor - Virginia Hunt Assistant Literary Editor u Helen Schu- macher. Business Manager - Donald Howard. . . . Advertising Manager - David Levison. Assigghmterary Editor 7 T Helen Hun- A ' t t A ' ' M e l - . smiggcke' dvertlslng anager Car Boys' Athletic Editor J Willard Schu- Current News EditoreMarcella Ferguson. macher. Assistant Current News Editor - Doro- Girls' Athletic Editor g Mildred Klein. thy Tennant. Exchange Editor e- Elizabeth Medert. This staff carried on the publication of the Mirror without interruption and brought it through to a successful close for the year. Under a new arrangement whereby students are given an N for faithful and conscientious service in the publication of the Mirror, combined with regu- lar attendance at the staff meetings during the year for which they are elected, letters were presented to the following students at a convocation in February: Margaret Ryan Henry Levison Mildred Rhoten Curtis Clements Ruth Seeger Arthur Caine Thelma Meyers Robert Barrows Emily Dickman Charles Riley Ellen Harney Hoyt Welborne Perhaps there is no activity which appeals to as large a percentage of the student body in general as does the Mirror. Sueh,at least, is the hope and the aim of the students Who gather and publish the news of the school, under the helpful guidance of Miss Jacob and Mr. Hostetler.

It seems a very little while since we first climbed those front stairs and oh! how grand and high the building seemed and how proud we felt to think that we were a part of this school. Pretty soon the place grew too small for us and a new wing was added. And now in a few months wehll have to leave Norwood High. But we shall never forget it. Our class has not had many parties or dances, but we sure are a lively bunch. WeWe always hthat is, nearly alwaysj been 10070 in all school activities. We have been 10070 in Mirror subscriptions, we have a good record in banking, and every one of us helped the French Orphans this year. When we first organized our class Carl Horton was chosen President; Georgia Geselhracht, Vice-President; Margaret Argus, Secretary; and Harvey Dusterberg, Treasurer. The next year Carl Horton was again elected President; Florence Price, Vice-President; Georgia Geselbracht, Secretary; and Harvey Dusterberg, Treasurer. Now were under the noble guidance of Harold Schuler, President; Julia Floto, Vice-President; Carl Kaucher, Secretary; and Georgia Gesel- bracht, Treasurer. Our class wishes to congratulate Harold Schuler for his excellent administration in the last half of this year. On behalf of the February Class of 1925, I wish all kinds of good luck and success to the February and June Classes of 1924. CARL HORTON, February 25. 83 JUNIORS JUNIORS HE organization of the June Class of 1925 was accomplished on the first day in October. The officers elected were Victor Meyers, President; Evon Searles, Vice-President; Norma Moser, Secretary; and Elizabeth Medert, Treasurer. With these officers at their head and under the guidance of their newly selected constitution, the class started their journey upward. They chose as their colors itOld Rose and Siiver? The first social gathering was a Christmas Party held in the Gym, with the upper Juniors as guests. Since it was an afternoon affair there was a large attendance from both classes. The class also had its share in the different activities of the school. Charles Martz headed the ttMirrorW Ted Dunn, Cecil Roberts and Sam Easterling represented us on the gridiron, while Frank J ohnson, the smallest basketball player on 3. Norwood team for years, also hailed from HThe Class? The second term opened with the election of William Maitland, President; Margery Lumley, Vice-President; Alice Bedor, Treasurer; and the re-election of Norma Moser as Secretary, as a result of her faithful service during the first half-year. With these capable ieaders to carry onward the destiny of the June Class of 1925, we cannot heipbut push forward to success, the secret of which lies in our motto: ttPossent quia posse VidenturttettThey can, because they think they H can.

Next September we shall be J uniors, with the prospect of becoming Seniors in the following year. We believe we have done our best to uphold the traditions of the school, and we hope to do even more for Norwood in our last two years. Several important events happened during our Sophomore year. Mr. Johnson, the Principal of our Freshman year, was promoted to the position of Superintendent of the Norwood Schools, and Mr. Howe was appointed Principal to fill the vacancy caused by Mr. J ohnsorfs promotion. Our Sophomore year also marked the founding of the Fasdal Club, a literary society for Freshmen and Sophomores. The exclusion of Sophomores and J uniors from the Freshiee Reception brought forth loud cries of distress and anger from the enraged Sheiksft With the close of our Sophomore year we have fmished one-half of our high school career. The Class of 1926 has been represented in ah high school activities. Sophomores are found on the Staff of the high school paper, and aspirants to athletic prowess have not been wanting. If, when we have finished our high school career, Norwood High has been improved somewhat through our efforts, we shall consider ourselves well rewarded. CARL LEMCKE. zww .- .m-rrn. --aI gym; FRESHMEN FRESHMEN N THE Freshmen student body of 23 and 24, there are about two hundred and forty new, bright, green Freshies, whose number has been increased at times from the nearby schools; ttWhat has been their loss has been our gain. By this time we hope we have cultivated many true friends among the upper classmen, Who have very graciously assisted the faculty in starting us on our four years course in Norwood High School. The Annual Freshman reception was well attended by our tttimid group. The form of entertainment being eats, games and dancing, we felt well ac- quainted with our more ttlearnedt, classmates at the close of the delightful evening. In all the numerous school activities our classes are well represented. Our girls have increased the membership of the Glee Club, while the boys have successfully entered the field of sports. We feel that our future rests upon the good foundation our loyal teachers are striving to help us build; and in this simple manner we wish to express our sincere appreciation and gratitude. Herets to the Freshies of ,23 and 24. May we strive for knowledge as neter before; And four years hence when graduates are we; May not one of our number missing be. Herets to the Faculty, fair and square, Willing our failures and blunders to bear; . May their patience and kindness inspire us to try, To be students worthy of dear Norwood High.

Seated i7 Mr. Hostetler, Helen Schenck, Miss Tielking. 92 THE BOARD OF CONTROL HE Board of Control of the Norwood High School, composed of three faculty members and two students of the Senior Class, was organized in the spring of 1922: The members of this Board are chosen by the Faculty in the spring of the year and take office the following September, serving one year. The Faculty chose for the year 1923-1924 Mr. Warmoth, Chairman, Helen Schenck telected secretaryl, Miss Tielking, Mr. Hostetler and Sidney Travers. This year the Board of Control has sanctioned the formation of several new school organizations namely; the Rootersl Club, the Radio Club and the Fasdal Club, and has made the Hi-Y Club a recognized school activity. One action taken this year was of special importance to the Senior Class. The usual rule of eligibility for election to a responsible position is twofold: first, that the student must'have had a mark of seventy per cent or more in all subjects the semester preceding election to office; second, that he must hold no other omcial position in the school. In the case of the publication of the Silhouette, however, only the first chndition of this ruling was en- forced, and Seniors were permitted to hold office on the editorial staff even though actively participating in the management of some other school organization. The Board of Control has discuseed means by which it can be of greater service to the school, and can come closer to all that goes on within its walls. This second year of its existence has been a busy one, and it is believed that in the future this organization Will be an even more vital part of Norwood High School.

Formerly this ticket was also good for admission to all baseball games played at home ,but this year,-0wing to the deficit caused by erecting the fence around thelathletic field, it has been found necessary to issue separate baseball tickets. The Athletic Association has charge of all money taken in at games and pays for all uniforms and necessary equipment This year the association bought new football togs and basketball suits, and paid off a great deal of the debt on the fence. 'The Executive Board of the Athletic Association appoints all managers of the various teams. The officers of the Association are: President, David Ahleck; Vice-President, John Truitt; Secretary, Cintrilla Carver; Treasurer, Mr. Cary S. Miller; Faculty Advisers, Miss Amy L. Foote and Coach Fordyce. Regular meetings are held the first Tuesday of every month to conduct necessary business.

Guided by this constitution and under the leadership of the new olfwers - J ohn RA Johnston, President; J ohn Truitt, Secretary; and Robert Barrows, Treasurer, ethe Hi-Y Club began its pro- gram of activities. The Club, always keeping in mind its slogan of ttClean Living, Clean Speech, Clean Athletics and Clean Scholarship? essayed to put more pep into the bulle- tin board, urged fairness to opponents in all games and performed many helpful services around the school. In the second half of the year the Club, having decided that it could better aid the school by closer af'Hliation with it, applied for oHicial recognition and was admitted as a school organization. The social side of the Club has not been neglected, as the members Will testify; One of the prominent social events on our calendar was the ttFreshman Mixer,H a get-together meeting with refreshments, held in the Boys Gym. At this occasion the Freshmen boys were given a chance to meet the Junior and Senior boys, and to become acquainted With the ideals and principles of the Hi-Y. In addition to this, socials were given at the homes of Robert Barrows and J ohn Johnston, and a party was held at the Eastern Hills Y. M. C. A. These were very enjoyable affairs and were well attended. The Club is deeply indebted to Mr. W. Ross Dunn, our Adviser, whose interest and assistance have been of great help to us. The accomplishments of the Hti for the past year have been commendable, but next year, established as a recognized school organization, we believe and sincerely hope that the Hi-Y Club, With a carefully planned program, a large Senior membership, capable officers and the co-operation of the school, will far outstrip the work of the past season.

HE Hiking Club, which was organized by the Senior Class in March, 1923, is one of the youngest clubs at Norwood Hi. Our first hike this season was very successful, as every girl seemed to be out for a good time. Why wouldntt the-girls have a pleasant time who are fortunate enough to have Miss Rogatzky as their adviser and chaperon? Those who are leaving Norwood Hi this year certainly hope that the girls who belong in the future will make the Hiking Club one of the largest organiza- tions of the school. In going on a hike one forgets all of her troubles and lessons, as there are just two things to think aboutethe hike and the delicious eats at its termination. Those of you who join the Hiking Club, Iirst make up your minds to attend each meeting, and then help to make the organization a big success. And remember this: Real pleasures are simple pleasures, within the reach of simple people. LORETTA WAHL. 99 THE RADIO CLUB HE Radio Club in Norwood High School was one of the new organizations of the year 1928. A radio organization had been wanted by some pupils for several years, but the impelling force was absent until Mr. Howe came to us. With a record of putting radio clubs in several Cincinnati schools, Mr. Howe took the first steps here with willing support. The first meeting was called under the temporary chairmanship of Henry Levison. Purposes and possibili- ties of the club were outlined, and a committee consisting of Donald Howard, Clarence Hartman and William Whiting was appointed to draw up a constitue tion. The members decided to name the club the Norwood High Radio Club. The prime purpose of the organization is, of course, to promote an interest in, and knowledge of, radio among the members of the club and the pupils of the school. A radio station which the club installed belongs to the school. The remainder of 1923 was spent in getting the club started and in preparing to give an entertainment to get money to build a radio station. During this time Mr. Gates gave the club a talk on the neutrodyne and other radio apparatus. There were other talks by Mr. Howe and members of the organization. The club gained its first piece of apparatus when the Exide Storage Battery Com- pany donated a regular ttAtl battery. After discussing various way of getting money, the Club decided to give a novel entertainment in which radio would play an important part. Therefore a program was worked out in which the High School Orchestra was to play at the radio broadcasting station of the Cincinnati Playing Card Company, WSAI, on the night of the affair. This musical program was received at the High School on a large receiving set and sent out into the auditorium by means of a loudspeaker. The use of the apparatus was donated by members of the club, Belden Saur tto whorh the set belongedD and Roger Burris. While this was going on a seven-reel moving picture was shown. After one postponement, the show was given on the evening of February 21. Through the efforts of the chairman of the ticket committee, Clarence Hartman, and the various members who helped him, enough tickets were sold to make the affair a success. , At the school the program took place smoothly, a remarkable thing for a radio concert, and besides the local station, stations in Chicago, Detroit and Washington, D. C., were audible all over the auditorium. With the proceeds of this affair, a large contribution from the February Class of t24, and various other sources of revenue, the club secured enough to build the school a very line radio station. Meetings took place every second and fourth Tuesday of the month. Mr. Howe gave instructive talks on the theory of electricity and radio, and the president, Henry Levison, and some of the members gave talks on practice. e After the meetings code classes were held.

In the spring 0f 23 a tournament was held and enjoyed by all who entered. It proved a great success and developed some excellent material for the tennis team. Victor Meyers was declared the winner from a field of many opponents. A tennis team was soon organized. It consisted of Norbert Eshmeyer, Gene Riley, Ed Wilson and J .R. Johnston, who represented the boys, and of Emma Boger and Claire Harkness, as representatives of the girls. Mr. Hostetler acted in the capacity of supervisor and coach Games were played with St. Xavier, East High, Middletown and other schools. Our teams closed the year in a very successful fashion, having won the greater number of their matches. The Tennis Club for the current school year was organized on September 20, 1923. The officers were elected as follows: President J . R. Johnston; Vice- President, William Warner; Secretary and Treasurer, Katherine Van Ordsel. A doubles tournament was held in the fall and from the many contestants entered Victor Meyers and Kennon Barthman emerged as champions. With the arrival of winter the courts were closed. The Spring of 1924 witnessed the selection of the tennis team, which was to represent Norwood High for the current season. Games were played with schools from many localities and our team deserves much credit for the form n which they dsiplayed in these contests. It is to be hoped that the teams of . the future will follow the example of those of the past, and that they Will bring great fame to Norwood High.

Bolsinger, Davenport, Rumpler. 104 THE ROOTERSl CLUB THIS year a new organization was formed at Norwood High School. This comprehensive group, called the Rootersl Club, was formed to boost the athletics of the school, and to boost the school as a whole. Since our first day of organization the presence of the club has been felt a we might say, heard e at every athletic event connected with the school. During the entire season the tteaglels shriekll and the lions roar were prominent. At the first meeting of the club we elected a President, William Warner. An executive committee was also named and all classes were equally repre- sented in this committee. Shortly after this meeting we decided that we needed an emblem to distinguish ourselves from the rooters of other schools. Acting upon the suggestion of Mr. Howe a collection was taken up to purchase badges for the club. These badges were in the oval shape of a football with llNorwood Highh stamped upon them and red and blue ribbons attached. Thus we were distinguished from the rest of the motley throng. By the time the games with the Cincinnati schools came off we were pre pared to make a lot of noise. We did. It was in vain. But you must grant Hwe stuck to our guns, as the old saying goes. Before this series of games we had a big torchlight parade and were decorated with much red and blue bunting. Say, gang, we sure did advertise those games! We drove all over Norwood, ending our trip at the Municipal Building, where those of us who weren't too hoarse joined in a mighty chorus. We could barely whisper when this was over, but we sure were happy. Many thanks are due to Mr. Shumaeher for the loan of his truck in which the band was conveyed. We must also thank the band for their efforts. In ladling out the thanks there is one person we must not forget, Mr. Howe, who was for us first, last and all the time. As a parting word to the school, the Senior Class gives its best wishes for a prosperous future for the Rooters Club. ttBILL SPRIGG. 105 THE BEACON HE Beacon is a group of J unior and Senior girls. The members of this club aim to uphold clean morals, healthy sports and true friendships. With this object in View we have adopted for our motto, mLet your light so shine be- fore others that they may see your good work. But the Beacon is not always a solemn club as everyone Who belongs knows. We have jolly hikes, teas and dances. The officers of the club are: President, Elizabeth Ahlers; Vice-President, Marjorie Bowman; Secretary, Mildred Klein; Treasurer, Charlotta Abbott and Mirror Reporter, lone Ogle. These officers have tried to do their best and Wish their successors the best of luck. MILDRED KLEIN. BEACON CLUB Last row, left to right , - McCann, Eschmeyer, Streit.

It played for the auditorium sessions whenever called upon and always received the hearty applause 0f the student body on these occasions. Numerous engagements were also booked away from the high schools. Early in the year the Orchestra played at the Allison St. School for one of the gather ings of the Parents and Teacherst Association of the school. The next engage- ment was at the Memorial Hall, Cincinnati, the meeting place of the Hamilton County Teachers, Association. The most widely advertised outside perfor- mance however, was the Radio Concert, February twenty-first. At that time the Orchestra played at the United States Playing Card Companyts studio. A meeting was held at the high school on the same evening, and by means of a temporary receiving set the music was enjoyed by those assembled in the auditorium. Many former students listened to the radio program and sent messages to the Orchestra telling of having received and enjoyed the selections played. Word was received in this manner from Florida, Wiseonsin, Michigan, West Virginia and Pennsylvania. The Orchestra furnished music for the play given by the February Class and also for that of the J une Class of 1924. As a fitting climax to a successful year of music, a concert was given in the high school auditorium on May second. Many members of the Orchestra have been with the organization for three years. Their faithfulness at rehearsal and their diligence has been such that . the director regrets to see so many of them leaving the school this year. Among the graduates who have been in the Orchestra for three years are J ohn De Bold, Ray Bohsdorf, Curtis Clements, Robert Barrows, Henry Levison, Lycurgus Shields and Sidney Travers. The Orchestra is also very sorry to lose Robert Badgley, Virginia Bush, J ack Kerley and Ruth Donnerburg, who, although with us only a year, will be greatly missed when we reassemble next autumn. But fortunately there are some who, having had a great part in the Orchestra for three years, will still be with it next season. These are Evelyn Read, Myrtle Hucksoll, Elizabeth Medert, Violet Hucksoll, Max Parrish, Austin Barrows, John Jung and Donald Howard. They together with the Director, Mr. Ruhl J . Bartlett, whose talented leadership and sincere effort have placed the Orches- tra in the high position it holds today, Will be ready to receive all of those students in Norwood High, who play musical instruments and desire to join the organization, when it reconvenes for the season of 1925. 109 GIRLS' GLEE CLUB Last row, left to right Hungerford, Rothenburg, Brannen, Stanley, Lumley, Medert, Welbon, Rietman, Lemon, Argus, Hassman, Schecter, Searles, Grob.

The first six years the girls devoted their time to choral work only, but in 1922 the opera 2Miss Cherryblossom was given, followed in 1923 by 2Paul Revere and 11The Wild Rose. The proceeds of these operas were used for new music and to help various school organizations. The girls of the club, upon serving two and a half years,receive a gold pin for their faithfulness. Many of the girls received pins this year. The present officers of the club are Blanche Dickins, President ; Betty Streit, Vice-President; Vera McCann, Corresponding Secretary; Bess Leibel, Financial Secretary; and Selma Boothby and Ida May Schubert, Librarians. The Glee Club for the last two years has had for its pianists Evelyn Read and Martha Vehr, who are very capable accompanists. . In March of this year the Boyst and Girls, Glee Clubs collaborated in giving a new opera, The Wishing Well, Which was a great success. Mr. Cook, who has been with us eight years, has proved an able and inspiring director and we hope that he may remain indefinitely at the head of the club. DOROTHY JANE RIETMAN. 111 BOYS' GLEE CLUB HE Wishing Wellj7 the Glee Club opera, after much hard work on the part of both the Boysy and Girlsh Glee Clubs, proved a big success. The principal roles in uThe Wishing Well were taken by Miss Dorothy Rietman, Neil Grifhth, Miss Elma Doggett, Kernan Waddell, Miss Bennie Lee Easterling, Albert Trauth, Miss Violet Adams, Lawrence Hegenbarth, Miss Violet Hucksoll, Miss Mildred Klein and Max Parrish. Miss Evelyn Read and Miss Martha Vehr were the competent accompanists. Mr. Cook directed both the orchestra and the choruses and must be given much credit for the success of the production. The Boysh Glee Club, having completed its flrst year in a very successful manner, looks forward to bigger and better accomplishments in the future.

It was formed in 1922 for purpose of giving plays and debates. Each year the organization has been . growing as more pupils become interested in its activities On account of a lack of enthusiasm last year, a few of the 01d members this season tried a new way of arousing interest and of showing what a dramatic society could and would do if all the students helped. One morning in October they surprised the school by giving a short play entitled HBettye Butler. The plan proved a success for over sixty Juniors and Seniors responded to the call for active members. At the first meeting the following oiiicers were elected: President,William Sprigg; Vice-President, Evelyn Schechter; Recording Secre- tary, Elvera Hillebrand; Corresponding Secretary, Verna Schumacher; Treas- urer, Robert Lindemann; and Historian, Marjorie Lumley. Just before the Christmas holidays, according to the custom of the society, a play, ttWhy the Chimes Rangf, was very effectively presented during an auditorium session. Both faculty and student body praised the splendid stage- setting and costuming and the good acting. . As some of the members were interested in debating, a club for that purpose was formed as a part of the work of the Masque and Scroll. Mr. Bartlett kindly consented to take charge of it, and as he is very capable, the debating club looks forward to a successful future. On April 7 the Masque and Scroll furnished a program for the Parents: and Teachers? Association. The debating club debated the question: HResolved, That the President should have one six-year term of offlce. It proved a very interesting subject and was so well given by both sides that the judges had difhculty in arriving at their decision, which in the end was given in favor of the afhrmative side. A play, HSpreading the News, was presented the same evening. Everyone was pleased With the program and expressed a desire to hear more from the organization. The officers for the last term were: President, Marion Schmidt; ViceePresi- dent, Evelyn Scheehter;' Recording Secretary, J eannette Getker; Treasurer, Clarence Hartman; and Historian, Robert Lindemann. The Masque and Scroll wishes to thank Miss J acob for her faithful co-operae tion and helpful guidance. Its success is due in large measure to her hard work. We hope the organization will continue to grow and to accomplish great things and to make Norwood High proud of our successors in the ttMasque and Scroll.

They after- ward adepted the name eeFasdals. This name was suggested by Miss Tielking and means, uFreshman and Sophomore Dramatic and Literary Society. The purpose of this organization is to give its members training in writing and presenting literary and dramatic productions and in conducting meetings according to parliamentary law. Ada Morgan, Martha Leeds and Theodore Kleeman were appointed to draw up a constitution. The following were elected officers: President, Gladys Sullivan; Viee-President, Kenneth Albers; Secretary, Norma Bolsinger; Treas- urer, Richard Lindsay; Critic, Thurse Sigman. Richard Lindsay and Thurse Sigman resigned and Jean Bolsinger and Mildred Schulze were elected to fill these vacancies. Martha Leeds was appointed Mirmr reporter. This society meets once every two weeks, having a program at each meeting. Our programs consist of talks, recitations, dialogues, extemporaneous speeches and musical numbers. ' We wish to extend an invitation to all Freshmen and Sophomores to become members of this school organization next September. We also Wish to thank Miss Tielking for the wonderful help and advice she has given us. We realize we could never have progressed without her.
