W X y ff QW WM ff X 6 li MW fffmfaafmwmWWMWWWMWWMWW M OUR years have passed since we, the Class of 1927, first came to good old Norwood High School. In these four years we have labored together with Commence- ment night as the goal before us. We have endeavored in our stay to carry out the principles and ideals of the school, and to make ourselves worthy to receive a share of its teachings-to gain something worth while, to be remembered alwaysg something to make us better citizens when we go forth into the world to take our places with those who have preceded us. Friends, alumni, and fellow classmen, we therefore give you this book as a lasting memento of the Class of 1927. We have attempted to set forth in its pages a reflection of this, the happiest period in our lives, so that in years to come it may revive pleasant memories of our friendships and activities. If such be the result of our efforts, we shall be well rewarded. THE EDITOR.

Yes, happy, I say, but rather timid. Oh, those first few weeks! New teachers, new friends, new books -in general a new atmosphere - surrounded us. As meek Freshmen we shyly did as we were bid and looked upon upper classmen with deepest reverence. Before long, however, we knew better. Summer passed, and the Freshmen Reception brought to the front the flowering belles of the class. Then we became Sophomores, sophisticated, ah! far past that first epoch in learning. Sincere effort, diligent work and many trials promoted us to the esteemed stage of upper classmen, and we strutted around as proud as bantam roosters. During the Junior year our class was represented by several members in various schoolvactivities. In athletics, Bill Lange, Cliff Benjamin, and Ed Barnes made our name known. At last we became mighty Seniors! From our high-brow perch we looked on with an amused eye at the hot polloi of the under classmen. No longer for us were the ways of the proletariat. We were laws unto ourselves thenceforth, dictators of fashion, arbiters of the fate of the school, models of scholarship and lions of society. In this, our last year, the class has really buckled together and become organized. It was not until this time that we began to have good times together, different members of our class giving parties. We elected Florence Schmuelling president, George Rattenbury vice president, Miriam Sarles secretary, and Janet Hausser treasurer. Milo Walton has represented us in the Student Council, Bill Lange, Janet Hausser and Florence Schmuelling on the Mirror Staff 3 Virginia Klotter as Mirror Reporter g and Miriam Sarles on the Silhouette. Bill Lange has also played center on the basketball team. The Glee Club has claimed Julia Hauer, Gladys Duvall, Virginia Klotter, Miriam Sarles and Janet Hausser Cthe Indian brave, Wambelee, in the operettaj. Nowvour history closes as we approach a great milestone, graduation, mark- ing the completion of a four-year period of work and play. Though we bid the school good-bye, her memory will ever be in our hearts. 14 . , Wfwmwwu f ff f ff ff ,mwfuwwfwwwefw W f iff 'I'If WWW? jrefmwwfwwf ffwffwmwwwnw wwf' ' ' ffm?

Here is a really worth-while girl-always ready to help others out of a hard place. We think she has many interesting ideas, but wish she would more frequently express them. Sure- ly, her domestic abilities will prove valuable some day. EDWIN BARNES Loathing pretense, he did with cheerful will, What others talked of while their hands were still. Football '24g Football Manager '25g A-B Coun- cil '25g Student Council President '26g Class President l25g Boys' Glee Club '25, Eddie makes friends anywhere he goes. He appears quiet in class, but you should see him at a party or playing football. He has shown his ability through his active interest in school organizations. HARRIET BRANNEN For me Fate gave, whate'er she else denied, A nature sloping to the southern side. Rooters' Club '243 Girls' Glee Club '24, '25g Athletic Association '25, '26. Harriet finds every bit of work mere play. She enjoys all kinds of sport, but her hobby is camping. Her entertaining jokes have scat- tered many sunbeams through a dull day. CLIFFORD BENJAMIN The man who conseerates his hours, By vigirous effort and an honest aim. Football '24, '25g Track ,24, '25. Cliff says his hobby is athletics. To prove this he has carried off football and track honors, besides having the privilege of wearing a medal for javelin throwing. From him you may get the latest tips on hot socks. 15 ' Wwe Z ,ff W M wwf WV Wefwwmwmww WM, Z an ,L 7 f' 4 'if j '41 ef 4 Z fe!!

It's just second nature with him. With it all he's a good scout, and we wish him much success. GLADYS DUVALL Genteel in personage, Conduct and eqnipagef' Rantorel High, Ill., '24, '25, '26g Girls' Glee Club '27, Gladys is a demure little maid. She doesn't say much, but we have discovered that she can turn her hand to many thingsg for instance, drive a car with the ease of an expert. She is a good sport and full of fun, and we know her luck will 'be the very best. ROY HAUCK I n every deed of mischief he had a head to con- trive, a heart to resolve, and a hand to execute. Athletic Association '23, '24, '25, '26. Roy will gladly stage a comedy any time, any place and anywhere, in return for a hearty laugh. We've never known him to worry over lessons or detention sentences. He is a willing worker and always Johnny on the spot. JANET HAUSSER So well she acted all and every part.

I doubt it. In whatever Janet does she enters herself whole-heartedly, and that's why' we can count on her always. She constantly and impartially radiates happiness and there- fore is wanted everywhere. 16 yn mwwwamf Wwfwwwq? W Z V K X!

Julia is a quiet, unassuming girl who attends strictly to her own affairs. She is a true friend and enjoys all the fun there is at Norwood High. Though she is a new-comer to our ranks, she will be remembered by her classmates for her pretty southern accent.

He has proven his literary ability as Editor of the Mirror and we believe he had the intelligence to get even better grades if he had not loved to sleep. We hope his dreams come true.

Athletic Association '25, '26, '27, Rooters' Club '243 Class Vice President '27. Everyone knows Dow's expert druggist. He's an asset to any organization. That's why we made him our vice president.

Mermie has won first place in the hearts of her classmates by her winning smile and sweet lovable ways. She seemed more interested in a good time than in lessons, yet somehow or other always came to class prepared. Norwood High will miss an all-round girl after Miriam has graduated.

Rooters' Club '24g Athletic Association '24, '25, '26, '27 5 Girls' Glee Club '24, '25g Mirror Staff '26, Bankers' Club President '26g Class President '27 . Florence, our class president, has a secret which she has told to no one. Give us the com- bination, Flossie - how with parties and pre- pared lessons, both of which mean lost sleep, you yet can greet everyone with a pleasant word and a cheery smile. As for Florence's future, we predict that she will become a leading fashion model. MILO WALTON ,'Good at a fight, but better at a play. Students Council '27 Milo just loves to entertain our class with his witticisms. He is the sax player of the class as you already know. His hobby is traveling and we hear that he is contemplating another trip to Niagara Falls. 18 4, fnwmfwrrfwff SEASONS When the red brown leaves have fallen, And the chill winds sough through the trees When the anxious birds fly southward, 'Mid the warming hum of the bees 5 When the peaceful sapphire waters Best reflect the hue of heaven, VVhen the ships flee the storms of winter - Will you think of twenty-seven? When life in the trees has awakened, And buds break the bonds of birth, When green shoots of grass are all perfumed With the warming aroma of earth, When birds point their bills to the northland, And snakes change old garments for new, When waves greet the shore with warm kisses Twenty-seven will think of you.

V3 .HIM Q 1 XQMJA nf THE GIFT OF THE FEBRUARY CLASS HE happiest days of our life, the four years spent at Norwood High, are by the time the Silhouette goes to press only pleasant memories. The members of our class were few, so few, in fact, that we did not consider it neces- sary to have a class organization and treasury until late in our Senior year. With the wisdom that comes with time and experience we have often repented this folly. We desired to express, and grandly, our sincere gratitude to our Alma Mater for the many services she rendered us. Alas! our treasury per- mitted nothing great. However, we realized that love and esteem are shown not by great value, but by true sentiment. Therefore, we chose a practical gift to present to our school as a token of our love and a remembrance of the joyful days passed there. It was with the best of spirit that the February Class of 1927 presented Norwood High School with a cork bulletin board. We hope it will be most useful in serving the school for many future years. . WILLIAM LANGE. 21 X wwffuwfwwfq . ,,,, , 2 e fr ,ff fgff W' ,, , f QW M W X ., ,, CLASS WILL T0 WHOM it may concern--The Class of February, 1927, being on the verge of passing out once and for all time, having survived four years of perilous brainstorms with a sane mind and sound body, and having left its habitat still proudly standing in all its stately glory, hereby establishes a last will and testament. Firstly, whatsoever funds our Treasurer may have overlooked, the aforesaid February Class of 1927 puts into the trust of the Silhouette, to be used for future annuals, in loving memory of others who may be about to depart this life of scholarly seclusion. Furthermore, the members of this class do hereby separately and individ- ually make bequests as enumerated hereinafter, to wit, as follows: Edwin Barnes wills his phenomenal voice to the hero of Mr. Cook's next operetta. Roy Hauck leaves in Miss Jacob's book-case the wisdom of the owl that spent a bell with the class one day in January. Milo Walton leaves a hearty laugh ringing through N. H. S. halls. Julia Hauer wills her textbooks to the janitors,with the proviso that they return the ashes. Virginia Klotter bequeaths the remains of a ten-cent mirror, hoping that it may save from seven years of misfortune all others guilty of feminine vanity. Clifford Benjamin leaves the detention hall none the worse for his use of it. Miriam Sarles leaves a worn spot in front of the Lost and Found. Florence Schmuelling bequeaths her fashion designs to the art classes. Don Stohlman leaves with Miss Fairweather a worn and marked French book to aid some student not blessed with language ability. Gladys Duvall bequeaths a buttered roll to the birds who frequent the bird bath. George Rattenbury leaves at 8.29 94 f 100 A. M. Janet Hausser bequeaths a new copy of College Humor to the school library. Bill Lange wills to someone his treble ability to compose editorials, to sleep, and to absorb knowledge all at the same time. Laura Baumbach leaves her darling brother to the tender mercies of the June Class. i Elmer Corey Wills his goat-getting ability to the class of 1933. There is enough to go around. Harriet Brannen bequeaths her business ability to the oflice. Lastly, the Class appoints Squire Baxby sole executor of the above will, requiring him to furnish bond of two bits before executing the same.

This was spoken by Virginia Klotter, private detective for Miss Janet Hausser's boarding house. You know the kind I mean: 358.00 per 5 clean towels extra. As they were sitting before the fireplace in the living room the doorbell buzzed, and the chief-cook-and-bottle-washer rushed out to open the door. When the man at the door steppedlinto the hall, Don gave a shout of delight, for it was his old friend and classmate, Roy Hauck, now a photographer, travel- ing around taking pictures of mothers' darlings, mounted on his pony Fifef' The four settled themselves for a pleasant evening, recollecting high school days. As they were discussing old-time friends, Roy Hauck brought out some pictures. One was of a boy and girl, twins, children of Florence Schmuelling now married and living in Billings, Montana. This proved a pleasant surprise. Then someone suggested tuning in on the radio. The first thing on the program was a soprano solo by Julia Hauer. Well, of all things! exclaimed Janet. Imagine Julia making all that noise when she used to be so quiet! It was a New York station broadcasting, and next came an announcement, Bill Lange's Revue, featuring Laura Baumbachf' Say, said Don, there's news of two more of our class. Gee, but I'd like to know what the rest are doing. Hold on, cut in Roy, hear what this guy has to say. A harmonica solo by George Rattenbury of the Middletown Symphony Orchestra, was heard over the air. Can you beat that? asked Virginia, and I thought George would surely be a druggistf' The next morning's paper announced the arrival of the Barnes Circus in town with the main attraction Gladys Duvall, a sword swallower. So the five classmates made up a party to go on to the circus. After lunch they called a taxi, and who should be driving but their dear old friend, Miriam Sarles. She was so overjoyed at seeing them that she forgot to keep within the speed limit 23 WMWWWWW, awww, M ,, awwwww WWW ,, , ,W f f f f ff fmwwwwwwwffffffww WWffwwwwWWWWWfwfwwmaW M 4 N, lfjaf X ,ff W nw W, 2 f W 1 X WW yr 3 , f ummm' - ff fwwwwfm 1 X Wfvf 4 A, 4 , ,WMWWWM ,,fWwWmmWW WWWWWWW W W,,,W,W,W,, uf WWW ff,6f,,,,0,f,W,4W,0, ,awww WMWWW I., 'H f WWWWWM V' WWW and was stopped by a motor-cycle cop -none other than Harriet Brannen. Of course, she could not arrest her old chum, so they proceeded to the circus. There they hunted up the owner to have a chat with him. Eddie told them of his meeting with Elmer Corey. Much to their surprise at the impossible, they found that Elmer was a modiste in Paris, under the name of M. Les I-Iaricots Verts. A As the party was leaving the circus they heard cries of anguish coming from a near-by building and rushed in to find the cause. There was Milo Walton, as a chiropodist, hacking away at a client's foot. How very strange, indeed, is life. In less than twenty-four hours all the graduates of February,,27 , had seen or heard of one another. Alas! no,not all- for where was Cliff Benjamin? This question Milo easily answered, for Cliff was just at that time painting the face of a clock on a church tower down the street. Milo knew this, for Cliff was one of his patients. Now that the locations of all the class members were known, a reunion was suggested, and Janet offered her boarding house Qfree of chargej to her old classmates. The invitations have been sent out.

She enjoys a good time but also likes to study, as is shown by her good grades. Who has ever seen Van without Mickey during lunch bell? HOWARD BOSSE No legacy is so rich as honesty. Hi-Y '26, '27. Howard is the authority on Fords in our class. He has mentioned his intention of becoming a newspaper reporter, and we all hope his paper willbe as full of news as the Advertiser is of ads.

No one has to be told why Mabel is called Dark Eyes. Probably this is the reason she succeeded in collecting so many ads for the Silhouette. Mabel is known by those lovely eyes and her flashing smile and as a friend to everyone. JOHN EUANS Ulllnsic hath charms to soothe the savage breast, To soften rocks, or bend a knotted oak. Athletic Association '23, '24, '25, '26, Hi-Y '26, '27, Band '25, '26, '27, Orchestra '25, '26, '27, Glee Club '27, Radio Club '24, John used to be bashful and shy but we think he is changing, or rather has changed. He is noted for his musical ability and we all know that it will be difficult for the orchestra to find someone who can take his place next year. RUTH CHRISTY Gentle and good and mild thon art. Glee Club '26. Ruth is one of our ninety-per-cent students and is liked by everyone who knows her. JOHN FAIRBANKS So may he rest, his faults lie gently on him. Athletic Association '23, '24, '25, Tennis Club '26, '27, Boys' Glee Club '23, '24, '25. Johnny is an easy-going sort of fellow except when he is playing basketball. Once he gets started on something, nothing can stop his progress, and it is certain that this will be true of everything he takes up in life. 34 f f WW LUCILLE DAVIS Is she not passing fair? Withrow High School '24, Athletic Association '25, '26, '273 Bankers' Club '26, Fasdal Club '25, Girl Reserves '25, '26, Masque and Scroll '26, '27, Have you ever noticed how many diHerent ways Lucille can have her hair cut and look better each time?

After seeing Eleanor's golden hair and blue eyes, there is not the slightest doubt in our minds as to why gentlemen prefer blondes. Since Eleanor is one of our sweetest girls, liked by everyone, she has had fine times at all school affairs. We hope your future at U. C. will be as pleasant as your four years here! THOMAS FISHER 'Tis now the summer of your youth. Athletic Association '23, '24, '25, '27, Radio Club '24, Treasurer '25, Tennis Club '25, '26, Hi-Y '26, '27, Tommy is always ready for a good time and seems to get his share of happiness from life. Unless appearances are deceiving, we predict that some day he will be a professor of French at some large university, for some of his dis- coveries in that language are really remarkable. 35 wfwwwwf ZHWWWWW , Wwwfwwwmfwfwwf X y W2 f w 2 J 47 Z , ff if WW ' Z 4 I ,Z . 5' W if b..s.....r 7 V JM' . ,wfffwfwfafeavwwywm Ww,..,m-ef f 1 www wwwmffwf ELIZABETH FIRST She is a form of life arid light, Laughing eyes and manner bright.

Many a close basketball game has been won by his ability to hit the hoop. His grades, too, are always among the highest in the class, and he claims that he never had to take an exam. Although very quiet in the classroom he is always willing to join in on any prank that may be planned. ALICE GINTNER To see her is to love her. Athletic Association '25, '26, '27, Glee Club '24, '25, '26, '27g Mirror Reporter '27, Masque and Scroll '27, If you ever want anything done right and done cheerfully, ask Alice, who is always willing to help when called upon.

Dick was a blond before he started to take chemistry, so we cannot accuse him of bleaching his locks. Every night about eight o'clock he takes a walk up to the Norwood Library with Jimmie - no wonder they both make such good track men. Dick's greatest ambition is to become a famous detective. KATHRYN GOEHLER Her voice is ever low and sweet, Her manner gentle to all she may meet.

The girls would like to know her little secret of being so nice to everybody. With all her activities she certainly has made fine grades!

I CLASS WILL E, THE June Class of 1927, being mentally sound, of clear memory and understanding, do, upon the tenth day of June, nineteen hundred and twenty-seven, affirm this, our last will and testament, to take precedence over all others that we may have made heretofore. We devise and bequeath: To our Parents, who have made our presence here possible, our undying love, and our gratitude for the sacrifices that they have made for us in the past, with the hope that we in some measure may justify them. To the Faculty, our sincerest appreciation of their tireless efforts in a thank- less attempt to educate us.

We've labored hard for four short years 5 We're leaving you with hidden tearsg But in our going, you will be Just one sweet ling'ring memory. Four years we've gathered in your halls 5 Four years we've answered to your callsg But looking back we've liked it so We hate to think that we must go. We've seen the most outstanding features 5 We've had the best of all the teachers 5 We've had our fun, we've done our work, Our class was never known to shirk. Old Norwood High, we hate to leave! At thought of parting we must grieveg For you were like a pretty heaven To us, the Class of Twenty-seven. ROBERT MITCHELL FQ - ' ffffwxf.-Wfffh. , ,wwf ,W My W f WM W CLASS PROPHECY, I 927 IT WAS a fine spring morning in early May, 1946, that found me busily engaged in packing my trunks for a pleasure trip around the world. I had become a successful engineer and, having constructed a bridge from Labrador to Ireland, I decided to take a vacation. I looked up my old school chum, Dick Harney, and invited him to accompany me. He gladly accepted the invi- tation and, on this day, had just gone to buy our railway tickets. Richard had also become famous, but as a scientific farmer. After reclaiming and cultivating all the arid land in America, he had done the same to the Sahara Desert. I was suddenly startled from my labor as the door slammed and Dick came rushing into the room all excited. What's the excitement, Dick? I asked. Haven't you heard the news? News - what news? t'Our old friend, Calvin Burks, has just been appointed ambassador to Germany and Harold Reed is the newly chosen Secretary of State! That's great! But hadn't we better hurry with our trunks? When all was ready we descended into the lobby of the hotel to bid Fred Hugenberg good-bye. He was the owner of the Hotel Hugenberg at which we were staying. Leaving Fred we summoned a taxi and were soon at the station. The train was not ready and, having some ten minutes to spare, we entered the waiting room. We had been seated here only a few moments when a familiar voice suddenly struck our ears. Turning we beheld our old friend, Rog Sleight. Amid much hand-shaking our train was announced and, board- ing, we were soon comfortably seated. Roger, acting as advance agent for Virginia McBride, was on his way to Philadelphia. From him we learned that Virginia had become famous on the stage and was simply smothered with con- tracts. He also told us that Laura Seitz was the new owner of the Metropolitan Opera House in New York and Rabe's Revue was playing there for the season. The afternoon passed quickly in old memories of school life and, after an excellent dinner and a friendly game, we parted for the night. Our berths proved to be more than usually comfortable and we tested out their every good point, when we heard that they had been invented by Roy Stoke. This sort of an invention seemed ouite appropriate for Roy, as he was always interested in comfort and especially in sleep. On the following morning we reached Philadelphia where Rog, much to our regret, left us. Having some hours for enjoyment, we set out to see the city and met with a few surprises. The first of these was to learn that Charles Dawson was mayor of the city. Then quite accidentally, we heard that Lucille Davis and Hilda Bruckner were the sole owners of Philadelphia's largest department store. We ran up to their office and were taken on a trip of inspection through the store. We took the girls to lunch and they told us that Kenneth Cordes and Louis Fehr were in the same line of business in Buffalo. We were enjoying ourselves immensely when we suddenly remembered that our train was due to leave in live minutes. Without stopping to say good-bye, we dashed out to the street and ran all the way to the station. Oh, yes, we made it - thanks to the training we received on the track team. Our next stop was Chicago and oh! my! what a noisy place. It really sounded like unceasing Fourth of July celebrations. An election was being held amid much shooting. Herman Hepp was running for Mayor and Bill Haas for Auditor. We noticed that Fred Martz was in charge of the state 56 ii f -wa..- gr Yi ,,,, ,-,,, ,,T,.. ..,.,,,,,, f,,,m.,,,m.mmW.f ,,,, ..., . .,.,,, , ,......,,,..,, , 1629!

Well, Venice is a wonderful city, but we could not stay. We crossed by land to Genoa, old home town of Friend Christopher. In this quaint city we found, much to our joy, that the biggest shipping con- cern was in the hands of three Americans. Wishing to meet men of our own country we went to see them. But lo and behold! when we opened the door of the private office we came face to face with three women: Dolores Anderson, Gertrude Banta and Vannorah Bateman. We stood amazed for some minutes and then murmured, t'Good day. We revived, however, and were soon listen- ing to many interesting things. When we learned that Bill Beckett, Harold Derfus and Anna Woodburn were teaching in a college of liberal arts in Naples, we decided to go south again. We did this and were delighted to find our old friends so adapted to their professions. Leaving Naples we crossed to Spain. While in this country we decided to learn the tango. Hearing of a fine school we went for our first lesson and were so well pleased that we continued for some time. No wonder, for our charming teacher was Mabel Davenport. On one occasion Mabel asked us to witness a bull fight. The following day amid great excitement we found our places and awaited the desperate struggle. There was a tense moment! The huge gate swung back and all eyes strained in that direction! Slap me silly - the bull came prancing out like a toe dancer, stopping every twenty feet for a rest. Just then there was a great roar and the toreador camedashing out in a suit of armor. The bull almost fainted from fright, but when the visor fell and he saw his antagonist he became outraged-and oh, how that toreador flew! Well, I haven't seen Fred Schlapp yet, but I'll bet he broke all records for the mi e. The next country we visited was France. On our way north we stopped in Villefranche, that part of France noted for its grapes. Here we found Winfield Tice happily employed in the export of this delightful fruit. We also met Kiefer Lidell, an artist, painting scenes from-the picturesque vineyards of the country. While we were holding a happy reunion an aeroplane flew over us and a figure leaped out with a parachute, landing a few yards from us. I had never thought I would meet Ruth Bedor under such conditions. She was living near Paris and was flying her private plane. We journeyed back with her to Paris and after paying a visit to her parents, explored the most famous city of France. Oh! what a city of mystery, happiness, misery and fear. We met many of our friends in various places. Maxine Baxter had become celebree as the leading lady in the Revue de Paris, Jordan Van Arnam had been successful in Wall Street and was celebrating, Helen Hummer had won the Prix de Rome, Alice Gintner was a professor at the Sorbonneg Thomas Wiebell, working on a very important case in Paris, chanced to meet us at the Louvre one day and told us about many famous cases which he had solved and which were indeed exciting. There was also in this city an airport of the Public Passenger Service operating daily between New York and Paris. Selma Langhout was at the head of the New York office and Catharine Leahy was Vice President of the company. Leaving Paris we went by rail to Berlin. One or two more of our friends were met here: Marjorie Behrman was writing plays Cin German, mind you!! and Kathryn Kayser had made her mark as a composer of one of the finest sym- phonies of the time. We visited Cologne and heard her great composition. We then went to the small country of Holland which is, I believe, one of the cleanest countries in the world. The people are very artistically dressed and the 59 . .... .,,, .. , .... f fy' We I xy . M , am!

Bob Yolton is a prominent figure in the diamond cutting industry in Amsterdam. He sends the fine stones to his retail houses scattered through the states. We also have our old friend Garnette Grueser making her fortune in this country. She is a wholesaler of dairy products. We met Bob and learned that he received most of his uncut stones from Gladys Weigel and Verneasa Walker, who discovered a diamond mine in Australia. The next place we visited was Russia. In the city of Petrograd we were surprised to find everything calm. We soon learned the reason, however, when we ran into Nora Rudicil and were informed that she had been sent by our gov- ernment to Russia in order to straighten out the difficulties of that country. There was a revolution going on, but without bloodshed. Kathleen Sees had introduced coffee to take the place of tea, for which the Russians are noted. ' We left Russia and started across the Baltic Sea, la.nding in northern Scot- land. The travel was slow, but picturesque in the Highland country. The first night we slept in a little village and during the night I was aroused by Dick. HWhat's the matter, Dick? Oh gee! I can't sleep. Why? What seems to be the trouble? - 'fWell, you see -I heard about a dozen cats in the back yard and threw everything I could find at them, including your shoes and hair brush, and they're still singing. I laugh to this day when I think of Dick's interpretation of an air played on the bagpipes. We finally reached Glasgow, the home of my people. In this city we found Irene Murphy trying to teach the Scotch how to' play golf. CShe evidently did not know where the game originatedj Another funny incident was a meeting with John Euans. He was trying to make the people put their money into a bank instead of the traditional sock. From Scotland we went to London. Here we found Helen Wurster, one of the best known brokers on the market. We went to her office and then to lunch. While we were seated in a queer little tea-shop, Georgina Nelson walked in and readily joined us. She was writing a book on English authors and was searching in London for material. In her travels about England she had run across Marie Brinkman, who was a manufacturer of cutlery in Sheflield. We remained in London several days making excursions to various places and then went to Liverpool. From here we crossed to Ireland and in Dublin found Stanley Carroll leading a victorious campaign for Irish Freedom. After wishing him the best of luck we hired a taxi crossing the bridge I had recently con- structed and rode to Labrador and hence by boat to New York. It was late fall when we reached home. Football was in progress. Nor- wood was winning! And we didn't want to miss the big game which was to be played at the large stadium at Norwood College. This game was part of the celebration going on in Norwood in honor of their population reaching the I JAMES ROBERTSON and DICK HARNEY. 50,000 mark 60 WWW 4 JW , , ,, W ffw WW ff WWWWWWWWWW,WWWWWMMMWWfWww WWWWWWW ffm 4 1 ' 0 f 0 f 4 , f WWW MW 2, W Q Z Wfww, any wwwffwffwwwffwwwwwmzg W y e Q 'WWW Z 0 X 0 7 7 , , WWWW f Wfwwf WM, ffm!

UPPER FRESHMEN OW long ago it seems since we first entered Norwood High, trembling, we must confess, not from fear but from excitement. For were we not crossing the threshold of a new school where we would not only be interested in scholarship but where we would also cultivate many valuable friendships? At first, as is usual with most freshman classes, we seemed to be outsiders, but gradually we came to feel that we really belonged. By this time we had gained enough courage to join the various organizations. There were two important social events during the year. First, we enjoyed a party given by the Norwood .Education Society at the Federation Clubhouse. At this time we learned about the scholarship which is awarded each year to a member of the graduating class. Then came the Freshman Reception. After we had each been given a small, green ribbon as ameans of identification, we were entertained by the talented Seniors. We were regaled with green lollypops and then taken to the gym for dancing. Although at first our studies seemed to be rather difficult, gradually with the help of our teachers we mastered them, so that now they really give us pleasure. On behalf of the Freshman Class, the writer wishes to thank the Faculty for their aid and guidance during the past year. We sincerely hope to spend three more such enjoyable and profitable years at Norwood High. ALICE HOFFMAN. 63 I ywwwfffffmfffffffwfwmwww wwf Q WWWMM f , ,W ffwwwffff fwwwww wwf H .

W LOWER FRESHMEN E, THE Freshmen of the February Class of 1931, entered Norwood High School with beating hearts and high expectations. After a few weeks we square pegs had the corners bumped off until we fitted into round holes. The exciting class days finally resolved themselves into a routine progress forward into the realms of learning. In our struggles we found strange experiences. We also received much ad- vice from the lordly upper-classmen. Some of this advice was good. We also were helped by the patient teachers who, besides teaching us, helped us through the maze of high school life. We entered whole-heartedly into the activities open to Freshmen and were benefitted greatly by our duties. All in all, we are fascinated by higher education, and firmly intend to make ourselves worthy of this grand old school, Norwood High.

But now that we are the Sophomores, things seem different. Once in a While a Senior gives us a friendly greeting and a teacher occasionally recognizes an intelligent look on one of our faces. We find ourselves duly represented With talent and ability in the band, the orchestra, the teams, the Glee Clubs, Fasdal, the Hygr, the Mirror Staff and the School Honor Roll. hi ear one half of our high school carcely believe th at at the end oft sy We can s career is over.

But every Sophomore was a Freshman once, and though we try to deny it we also had our salad day, when we were green in knowledge. After a year and a half of careful instruction and close imitation of our elders we have become a part of the Norwood High School. Our talents ar ebecoming more prominent in the organizations and activities, such as athletics, dramatics, musical organizations and classes. Our many friendships and the varied pleasures we have experienced will always recall happy memories of our high school days. Although our studies have been sometimes hard and it often seems not worth while, the joy of that first year and a half can never be rivaled. We have high hopes and ambitions for a greater success in our undertakings in the next two years. We also look forward to organizing our class and being the ladies and gentlemen of the school.

I know that this Junior Class has enjoyed every minute of its time at Nor- wood High, whether in work or play, and we have many members who have participated in both. Although at the first of the year our desire for work was not noticeable, we surely made amends for that, and Cmodestly speakingj we are finishing this our third year as one of the best classes of the school. Two celebrated Junior basketball players have been chosen captains for the coming year. The Junior Girls' Team showed its superiority in every game with the Seniors. We are represented in the Orchestra, on the Mirror Staff, and in both Glee Clubs. You will have to admit that we have dramatic ability also, as witness the splendid work done in the Masque and Scroll plays and in the operetta, Lelawala. In fact, we feel that we are IT. We held many class meetings during the year with very capable officers presiding. Those of the first semester were: President, Elizabeth Coughleng Vice President, Jack Siegmang Secretary, Harold Phiferg and Treasurer, Carson Whiting. During the second semester these offices were held by Elizabeth Coughlen, Jack Siegman, Harold Phifer and Marshall Hunt respectively. Norwood High School started a plan for vocational guidance this spring, centering its efforts on the Junior boys. The object of the effort is to help boys choose a life work for which they have a real liking and some special ability. Men in different businesses and professional callings, both in Norwood and in Cincinnati, were interested in the project and are giving it their personal sup- port, each man becoming a personal adviser to some particular boy whose leanings are toward the adviser's own occupation. Great things are hoped for from this plan and we are proud that our class has been the first to benefit from it. In the classrooms we have taken up many new subjects this year and some studies have required considerable extra effort and application. Many times the teachers seemed severe, but looking backward over the ten months we know that we always benefited by their high standards, and we are appreciative of all the thought and attention given us. This Junior Year has been so filled with pleasures and pleasantries that it will never be forgotten.

Elberty as instructor. The art work is growing in importance in Norwood High. Last year instruction was given only a few bells on Friday, while this year the classes were in session all seven bells. In the future it is hoped that art will be required in certain courses of study and given as much credit as other subjects. Anyone interested in any kind of art work would be greatly helped by the work done down in the Art Room. The training covers opaque water color, block printing, both pencil and ink sketching, designing, fashion drawing and lettering. Twenty students took advantage of the courses this year 5 the number ought to be doubled in 1927 -1928. Through the personal supervision and iinterested help of Mrs. Elberty, her pupils received many valuable suggestions as well as increased skill for carrying on further work in various fields of art.

Just one victory, a tie game with St. lVIary's High, and seven defeats make up the season's record. As this report shows, the team reached Thanksgiving far below the usual standard in games won 3 but it was on a par with, if not better than, previous teams in aggressiveness and sportsmanship. If the Coaches, Messrs. Fordyce and Colwell, taught the boys to be sportsman- like as well as a point-scoring team, their efforts were not in vain. The Nor- woodites always played a sportsmanlike game, no matter how great the odds were against them. Their never-ceasing fighting spirit had the opposition worried all of the time. In nearly every encounter, the Norwood team was out-weighed. All Class A schools with but one exception were played, because other Class B teams refused games. The Season On September 24, St. Mary's High School of Hyde Park provided the opener of the season. The playing field resembled the Eden Park reservoir and although several cases of drowning were reported, no one was missing from either school. As this was the first game of the autumn for both teams, very little damage was done. The game ended with the two teams in a 0 to 0 tie. For two years, these two teams have battled to scoreless ties. Who will win in the Fall of '27'? Good luck, Norwood! Hughes High School journeyed to Norwood on October 1 after a four-year absence. The superior weight of the Big Red proved to be too much for the Indians, who suffered a 15 to 0 defeat. Hughes scored two touch-downs and a safety. The terrific line plunging of Kittel, of Norwood, of Lee, of Hughes, featured the contest. One week later, October 8, Norwood again met one of the Big Four of Cincinnati. Mr. Caesar, with your permission, we will change your famous expression, Veni, vidi, vici, to Venerunt, viderunt, with much emphasis on vicimus. The Bulldogs of Woodward High School were trounced by a score of 19 to 7. Tom Brannen broke away several times with those Bulldogs at his heels. The next fray Caccording to Noah Webster, this word means riotD was with the Walnut Hills High School eleven. The terrific line plunging of the Walnut Hills' backfield gave them a touchdown in the last quarter. The Indians entirely underestimated the Eagles and by the time they got over the surprise, it was too late to score a marker. The final score was 6 to 0. The next case on the docket was the Withrow game. The Tigers presented a line that far out-weighed the Norwood players. Withrow piled up a thirteen- point lead in the first half, which was too much for the Indians to overcome. 79 Wwmwffm , ,, W ffffmwfmwwwwwwwwf ww 4WWfff fMWffm f fffffwfwwwwwfwff f 4wwWfmfffwffwwwffffwwwwnwmw wfmwfw Z WW Z K XW 0 wr, 4 ff W f K rw W 7 - , f, 7 f 4, 4 44 7 f rw! f' aj 'aw gf 4 WW MwmmwwwawfWwwfffmwwwawwww ,xWWW,,WWWlw4wwv1wfWWWwwwwwww Wf fwwffffWfww wWwu,wwWW Norwood received several lucky breaks in the first half g but it seemed that there were two unlucky breaks for every lucky one. Kittel was the only brave who could get past the Tiger line, and it was his work that netted us thirteen points in the second half. Withrow also garnered the same number in the second half to give them a hard-earned 26 to 13 victory. On October 30 Hamilton invaded Norwood, accompanied by Old Man Pluvius himself. Hamilton's weight was too much of an advantage for the Norwood squad to overcome. Although fishing was good, we couldn't catch a point. The sliding of Kittel and Brannen was the bright light of Norwood's offense. Bellew did most of Hamilton's work. The score was 27 to 0. Exactly seven days later, to the minute, the team journeyed to Middletown, where they serve footballs for dinner. A well-trained, well-balanced heavy squad handed the light Norwood eleven its worst trouncing in years. After carefully checking up on the adding machines, it was found that Middletown had chalked up nine touchdowns for a 63 to 0 victory. Covington, alias Weight and Brawn, was the next conqueror of the Red-and- Blue. The event occurred at Norwood on November 12. In the first quarter, Jump, Covington's ground-gainer, viewed the contest from the bench, where many an admirer of Red Grange has met his fate. While Jimmy was in this hated position Norwood was getting the best of the argument, but when Jump jumped into the game, Norwood sank. All that remains to be mentioned is the score, which was 39 to 0. The game with Lockland on November 19 lowered the curtain of a very dreary season. The game was played at Lockland in somewhat of a stone quarry, and the Norwood boys returned with many bruises. A pass, Little to Wentworth, gave us our only touchdown. The score was 33 to 6 in Lock- land's favor. Individual Members of the Team Six letter men reported for practice in September, namely, Hepp, Kittel, Mitchell, Russell, Stone and Jones. The team of 1926 was hampered greatly by the small number of heavy men. The heaviest weighed one hundred and sixty-five pounds and the rest dwindled down clcse to one hundred and twenty- five. Herman Hepp was chosen Captain by Coach Fordyce, and Jimmy Robertson was made Manager by the Athletic Association. Hoim Hepp played left-end when he wasn't nursing a sprained ankle. He always fought until he dropped over, completely exhausted. We imagine that many an opposing tackle has wished that Hepp had never attended school. 80 fffwffwWwwawawffWMMWWW WVXWWWMHM UWM! iff! f ' f fa Wwawmwwwwwwwwfffwfrw wwwaffwfnwmwwlwwwwf ffwwww X fffff M ,,f, 0 , , 2 If X f Wffw 44, iff QUMQWM M Maxx M J 2 , M W 2 yanwawwwfwwawwmWffwwffwf afvwfffaafawawffamyywWfwfwwmwwfww W, w Wwwwfffwwfwvwmfmwwwwwwwwwffwawff Wentworth, Gaetz, and Hugenburg alternated at the other end position and all showed up well. Harold Kittel, of All-Cincinnati fame, held down the fullback position. Those who attended the Withrow game will never forget how Ben plunged through the line in the second half. The right half position was played jointly by Charles Worcester and Eddie Eschmeyer. These two fellows will be on the squad again next year, and we hope that they will have even better success. Eddie was the thin man of the team, and Charley was the big eater. Our midget, Tom Brannen, played left half-back. This was Tom's first year on the squad, but he certainly taught many veterans a thing or two about broken-field running. We look for great things from you next year, Tommy. Charles Howard, alias Venus, played quarter-back. Charley put his heart and soul into every game, and will be missed when practice is called in Septem- ber. Norman Gaetz also played quarter-back, and his two years' experience on the team helped immensely. Again the guard position was in dispute. It seems as though many boys specialize at guard, but they do not weigh much. Dick Stone, Tom CRedj Russell, Tom Wiebell, and Dick Meserve played such line football that the coach didn't know whom to send out. Although Wiebel and Meserve graduate, Stone and Russell will be fighting hard for Old Norwood again next year. Tackles, as the name indicates, are supposed to stop everything that comes within thirty yards of them in a football game. Bob Mitchell and Charles Wilson almost filled these requirements. They could get only those men within twenty-five yards of them, but we won't object to five yards, although five yards on Fountain Square costs about one hundred thousand dollars. Mitchell, as I recollect, is about a thirteen letter man around Norwood High, and his everlasting fighting spirit will be sorely missed in the future. Wilson will be ineligible next year as a player, but he will be able to urge the boys on with his cheer-leading. The center of the line was not very heavy this year, but it was filled with plenty of fight. In every game of the season Dan Jones faced men who out- weighed him from thirty to fifty pounds. This did not dismay Dan, however, he often did the heavy opposing backs for big losses. The work of Roy Stoke, probably the most faithful substitute on the team, deserves much commenda- tion. Roy stayed on the squad for three years, and although he did not make a regular berth, because he was extremely light, he stuck by the team through thick and thin. 81 WWW, WWWQ, .

H. Kroger made a sudden call for Jimmy Robertson's services. Conclusion Last February a crystal gazer was consulted by several Seniors as to the prospects for a good football team at Norwood High School in 1927. After looking steadily into the crystal for about two hours, she said that she saw eleven men on a football field putting up a game fight against eleven others, who were much heavier. When asked to describe the first eleven, she said that they wore blue jerseys, were very fine looking and were very fast. Without a doubt, that was our team. As the crystal gazer predicted, the team will be light but scrappy. The substitutes of this year's team played the Withrow subs to a scoreless tie once, and whipped them once by a score of 12 to 2. We move that the subs get together during the summer and have a big-eating con- test to gain weight. About five one hundred and sixty-five pound men for next year's squad would almost make Coach Fordyce believe in Santa Claus. While Norwood loses Hepp, Kittel, Wentworth, Hugenburg, Howard, Wiebell, Meserve, Mitchell, Wilson, Jones, Stoke, Van Arnam and several others by graduation and ineligibility, it must be remembered that the other local schools will also lose many valuable men. Too much credit cannot be given to the faithful substitutes: Benjamin, Porter, Bloemer, Sonnycalb, Stamm, Clark, Weigel, Coughlin, Keppler, Linde- mann, Gauthier and Crawford, as well as many others whose faithful service gave the main eleven much practice and training. Here's hoping for a fast, scrappy team in 1927, '28, '29, '30 and so on until they banish football for chess. Come on, Seniors, and all others present, let's join in a circle and shout, Good luck and many touchdowns to the Football Team of 1927! 82 f ,WWWWWWWWW fff, ,W,,,,,,,WH ffww, ,W W awww! , ,., We W 1 U ff ffff wwwwpwwfw MW WWW fwfffffwwWwwfwwwwwwwwfw ,Q X 2 f My a ff I X GMM!

The team was rather slow in getting started and they dropped several early season games by a few points, games which we all feel sure would have been victories had they been played in the latter part of the season. The team played the classiest teams in Southern Ohio, Northern Kentucky and Indiana and some teams refused our challenge for fear of drub- bing. Mr. Miller coached the boys this year, and he did not place an easy team on the schedule. In every game the locals had dash and pep asof old, but Luck, which nearly everyone needs in order to succeed, was against us. Often our would-be goals would glide through the hoop, carom around a bit and then roll out at the top to the disgust of the rooters. The team improved as the schedule rolled on, and as a fitting climax, they nearly nosed out our ancient rival, Hamilton, at Dayton. If this game had been a victory, we are sure the Indians could have been Southwestern Ohio Champs. The boys had a keen desire to play some of their games over at the end of the season, but the dlamages were already done and we will have to wait until next year to repair t em. Mr. Miller had five letter men: Aaron Gerrard, Dan Lind, William Lange, Roger Sleight and Robert Mitchell as a basis for his team this year. Gerrard, Lind, Lange, Hale, a new man, and Sleight proved to be a fine combination 5 but in February the mid-year graduation and reports ruined this outfit. Lange was lost by graduation, Mitchell by the five semester rule, Hale through grad6S, and Sleight's knee was injured, putting him out for the year. Lind was shifted to running guard, Wentworth was placed as Gerrard's running mate, Joe Meiser filled Lange's place at center, and Fink and Keller alternated at back guard. Porter, Brannen, Hugenberg, Crawford, Daley and many others were the substitutes whose work merits praise. . On December 3, the High School of Dayton, Kentucky, journeyed to Nor- wood and soon returned to Dayton, heartbroken, with a 28 to 20 defeat. The Indians piled up a heavy lead in the first half, but they eased down in the second, allowing Dayton thirteen points to our eleven. The work of Gerrard and Lange, who garnered twenty-three points between them, was the feature of the evening. NORWOOD -- F.G. F.T. T. DAYTON - F.G. F.T. T.

The jinx which pursued the team on all foreign floors made its initial appearance in this game. With Bill Lange and Paul Went- worth out of the game with injuries, the local boys were somewhat dismayed, and had a hard time getting their pass work to function properly. The Lock- land team played a slow, conservative game, thereby protecting their early lead. Although we put up a game iight, Lockland was not to be denied victory. The score was 23 to 18. .Seven days later, the jinx rode with us to Dayton, Ohio, the home of the waitress and aviation, to play Steele High School. The floor was very poor and somewhat ill-shaped. The Indians had the majority of shots in the first half, but they failed to go through the hoop. Nevertheless, we piled up a 10 to 6 lead, but Steele, led by Allen, a tiny forward, scored fifteen points in the second half, to nose us out 21 to 19. On December 23, which is just two days before Christmas, a team composed of former captains of Mr. Miller's Norwood basketball teams opposed our Braves. The Meyer-Miller-Valentiner combination, aided by five baskets made by Teddy Dunn, trimmed the Indians 34 to 20. Bill Lange seemed to be the only member of our squad who was shooting with any accuracy. Bill made twelve points against the older boys. NORWOOD - RG Gerrard Cfj .... ,...

Aurora, always one of the best teams in Indiana., the basketball state, and also one of the keenest, bitterest rivals of the Indians, came to town on January 14 in hopes of carrying home the bacon. However, Whitey and Bill changed their minds for them and they took home only the rind. Rog Sleight played a great defensive game, besides making seven points. The Aurora Devils are a very fast-working crew and the Indians deserve a world of credit for their accomplishment. NORWOOD - F.G. F.T. T. AURORA - F.G. F.T. T.

The Indians were handicapped by the unusually large Hoor. In the first half, Norwood did not register a field goal, but in the second half they held Middletown to sixteen points while they tallied twelve. The score does not explain what a hard fight Middletown had to put up to achieve their victory. Covington, a finalist in the Kentucky State Championship of 1927, gave the Red and Blue warriors their fifth defeat of the year on January 28. The Bulldogs had a fine team, but the Indians gave them a real fight. We piled up a nine-'to-one lead in the first quarter, and then proceeded to sleep the rest of the half, allowing Covington to take that half, 19 to 9. In the second half, which is usually our scoring period, we held the Bulldogs to a 22 to 20 score. The final score of the fray was 41 to 29. On February 4, Hamilton High, a finalist in the Southwestern Ohio district, tournament, came to Norwood and defeated us 39 to 29. The game was played in a fast and furious fashion and the Hamilton coach said that this was the hardest battle that his team had had to date. If the Indians had experienced more luck on their shots at the hoop, we feel sure that they would have been victorious. Gerrard was high point man on our team with ten points, while Bayes made seventeen points for Hamilton. Lind and Meiser displayed some fine floor work, but Gilbert at back guard prevented many of our bunnies from going through the hoop. NORWOOD - F.G. F.T. T. HAMILTON - F.G. F.T. T.

The Saints seem to hold an inevitable jinx over the Indians, for in our last two contests they have fought us while we were in a slump, although our team was by far the superior Cso we thinkj. Nearly everyone who had seen the two quintettes in action would have said that Norwood had the better team even in defeat. However, Lady Luck would not be wooed by our boys, so we lost, 27 to 22.

Miamisburg led throughout the greater part of the game, and at the beginning of the fourth quarter the up-staters were ahead 26 to 23. From then on they did not get a point. Whitey Gerrard hit the hoop with uncanny accuracy. The Indians tallied eighteen points in the last quarter to win 41 to 26. NORWOOD- F.G. F.T. T. MIAIVIISBURG-F.G. F.T. T.

But on February 25 victory deserted us in favor of Eaton, Ohio. The boys went to Eaton with high hopes of adding another game to the victory column, but Eaton fought them to a 27 to 27 deadlock and in the overtime play the Eatonians caged a basket to win 29 to 27. The victory was a hard-earned one, and the Eaton boys can boast forever-more of conquering, fair and square, Seckatary-Hawkins-likely speaking, one of the hardest fighting teams that has represented Norwood in years. 87 fwfwwfwff , Wfwwywwy wwwwwfffffb?

The Roosevelt High School of Day- ton furnished the Indians much stiffer opposition than they expected. The up-state boys piled up a 15 to 4 lead before the Braves woke upg but when they did, it was some battle, with neither team holding the lead very long. Just as the timer's gun went off for the end of the game, Gerrard dropped in a basket that tied the score. In the overtime period, the Indians walked away with a 52 to 46 victory. Lind distinguished hinfself in this game with twenty points. Wentworth played a very fine game and accounted for sixteen of our points.

In some peculiar manner, Hamilton secured the ball and dropped one in to make the score 28 to 26. On the tip-off they made another field goal and tied the score. The Indians had really won,.but thebreak of the game was again against them. In the overtime play Hamilton scored twelve points while the disheartened Indians scored none.

Hamilton beat Middletown by one point in the semi-finals, and they were just nosed out by two points by Stivers in the finals. It is plain to be seen that the Indians would have risen to probably the highest peak of basketball in southern Ohio with just a speck o luck. The Team Aaron Gerrard, captain of the team of '27, was also its chief point-getter. Just when it seemed that we were to be nosed out in some of the games, Whitey would loop in a basket that would either tie or win the game. Whitey is fast, accurate, a fine dribbler, and a real sport. What more could a coach ask in a player? Whitey was placed on the All-Tournament Team at Dayton this year and his fine three-year record at Norwood makes us all feel proud of him. Bill Lange, our center until the midyear graduation, was not only a depend- able shot, but also a great pivot man. His experience at the center position helped Coach Miller immensely, and Bill was always ready to learn more. He played a sterling game this season and accounted for quite a few of our points. I Dan Lind, Captain-elect for '28, had a hard time getting started this. year, but when he hit his stride in that Roosevelt game he showed everyone his real worth. Dan is a flashy running guard and is sure to go great next year. Paul Wentworth, a forward, was the most serious player on the team. He played the game with his heart and soul, as well as his mind and body. Paul is a good shot and a fine passer, and he served as a running mate for Gerrard. We hope to hear more of Paul elsewhere in the future. 89 mi f If wa 6 1 W ,f ,ana ,4 W f , f 1, Q. f may rf J W! 4 X M 5 yawn fffwffmfw my 2 ,, f , , , WWW fm., WWW M0wwwaf,,Wf w0WawWWwWf4MWffWW In February, when Bill Lange graduated, Joe Meiser was called upon to fill his shoes. Big J oe jumped right in and put up a game fight. There was not a center on any team that Norwood played who could get the jump of Joe. Nlext season we predict that he will be unsurpassed as a center in this part of t e state. Roger Sleight, when his knee was in shape, played back guard, 'fRog always played his best and it was his shots which put the Aurora game in our victory column. Bill Keller and Bob Fink alternated at back guard. They both played fine ball and blocked many would-be goals. Both of these boys will be at Norwood next year and there will be a hard battle in the fall for the guard position. Kellen Hale was the fiercest fighter on the team. If an opposing forward wished to shoot he had to do it before he reached Kellen. He will undoubtedly be eligible next year and he will be a great asset to the team. Wes Mitchell played back guard until December, and he played it well. His presence always inspired the team membersgland his four-year record as a Norwood High athlete speaks well for him. Tommy Brannen, John Daley, Cliff Lindeman, Mell Fink, Stan Benjamin, and Frank Burnett were the ever-ready subs whose work again deserved com- mendation. . Curtis Nelson was manager of the team and he handled the scoring and tim- ing very efficiently. Let us now pay a tribute to one of the best high school coaches in the state - Mr. Cary S. Miller. Mr. Miller is a great sport and he knows how to take a defeat. He is not a good loser, because no such thing as loss exists for himg he is just a fine fellow to have for a friend, and Norwood High is mighty lucky to have his services. There are about twenty-five promising lads who will be out for the team next year, and each one has a chance to make a regular berth. All of these candidates have the Norwood fight and we feel that they will have a fine record although the schedule is even harder than the one of this year. The graduating class wishes the best of luck to the team of 1928! 90 mf 1 ff mwwwfwwww WWW J, WWW MWWW W smog S1203 ppm 3111125 Jed squgod QBEJQAV spaqogl uoquuleg sdz-md 'Q 'fl qlemasoog uoqeg O Bm QS?-HBEN E 5 SEAJRN 'QS U if UOQUWEH EE u09,BugAo9 E P E UMOWIPPFW Z +-1 'e1o.mV uoueqeq guumw elaeqg PU9P190 I 'AX 'uoqkeq :rn C-4 bl P4 ffl .-I D-4 91 X X 25 61 9.8 147 10 7 16 12 6 6 4 5 14 3 14 10 3 17 15 rard ffl .

COLWELL put his track team to work rather early this year, and entered the indoor meet at the Cincinnati Armory on February 12. Although none of our entries took places, several lower classmen showed good form, and with more training they will undoubtedly develop into stars. The regular outdoor work was begun in March, and the first meet was with Withrow on April 23. The Indians were out-scored, but several promising athletes did their stuff for old Norwood. Bernie Schroeder won the one-mile run in fast time. The next action was on May 7 at Nippert Stadium. Hamilton defeated us 91-31. Schroeder again won the mile run in 4:51, breaking D. Robinson's record of 4:56. Norwood's thirty-one points were distributed as follows: 100-yard dash - Stamm, second. Pole vault - Meiser, third 220-yard dash - Stamm, second High jump - Meiser, first Ctiej 440-yard dash - Capt. Robertson, second Broad jump - Schroeder, second 880-yard dash -- Nelson, second Shot put - Nelson, third Mile run - Schroeder, first Discus throw - Logan, third 120-yard high hurdles - Small, third Javelin throw - Wiebell, second 220-yard low hurdles - Robertson, third Before the season closes, the team will have participated in the Southwestern Ohio Meet at Oxford, the University of Cincinnati Meet, and the Norwood- Lockland-Hartwell triangular meet, the results of which we hope will be more successful. The team is bound to improve as the new men develop, and we feel sure that the numerous Freshmen and Sophomores will break some of our records, which rival those of some colleges. Captain Robertson, Jones, Nelson, Wiebell and Hugenburg will be lost by graduation. 93 ,,,f f ,, W fffwwfwfwy v W f ffm'-i 7 f W M, W f ff ,ff y f Q A WWWWWWMWWWWWWWWWW0WW, ff W!

The usual jinx accompanied the team, and many times, just as the cat was about to enter the bag, someone would steal either the bag or the cat. A game was scheduled with Covington on April 13, but rain prevented the play-off, and the first battle was with Withrow on April 19. A real slug-fest ensued, with Withrow coming out on top. The team showed a lack of hard practice and a lack of pitching strength. The score Was 25 to 18. On the twenty-second of April Lockland entertained the Indians, but they proved to be very discourteous hosts, trimming us 13 to 4. The poor Lockland diamond caused our boys to make many Huke plays, but it was poor fielding and not poor pitching, this time, that lost the contest. Two games with Covington followed, one on May 3 and one on May 10. The first game would have been a winner, but the boys booted the pellet all over the lot, and Danny Lind's superb hurling was of no avail. Covington crossed the plate five times while the Indians scored but twice. The second game was also given away 11 to 5. St. Mary's was the next conqueror of the Braves. The event occurred on May 12 and the score was 13 to 11. The Indians had the game put away until the very last, but walks, errors and hits bunched together do not spell victory. The team showed much improvement in fielding, but the hurling and fielding did not seem to work together. . The team consists of Gerrard at first, Rosenstiel at the keystone sack, Hueston at shortstop, Worcester at third base, and Benjamin catcher, Schmidt, Brannen and Tice roam over the outfield, and Dan Lind, Captain, does 'the hurling.

Q ....... 148 Total .................. 144 Winning over Lockland High by a close margin, Norwood started out on a fairly satisfactory season for the Girls' Basketball team. The 1926-1927 season was not the overwhelming success that last year's record showed, nevertheless, the girls played clean, steady games, striving hard to win each. This was Mrs. Susan Eckel's second year as the very competent coach of the team. Because of a new ruling in the Cincinnati schools prohibiting inter-scholastic athletics, Norwood had much difficulty in procuring contracts for games. However, she was successful in scheduling seven with out-of-town schools. The first game of the season, as stated above, was played at Lockland. We played a good game, winning by two points, thirteen of the seventeen being scored by Winnie Jones. On December 22, Norwood encountered last year's champs, on their own floor, winning from them with a score of 20-16. Again Winnifred Jones made most of the points. In both games Hilda Heineman and Ruth Perkins showed up excellently with their close guarding. On January 7, Lebanon journeyed down here on a nice cold snowy night to be defeated by the Norwood sextet, the score being 26-13. The whole team showed up in fine form. Much credit is due to every player, especially to our captain, Maxine Baxter, who made more than half the points. The following week. Norwood played its second game away from home, going to Franklin. This game certainly proved our Waterloo. The girls really did hang their heads for weeks in shame, and still do, if the word Franklin is mentioned - but cheer up, Norwood will white-wash 'em next year! Vifhether our downfall was due to the large floor, or because it was only fourteen days after New Year's Eve, we don't know 5 whatever the cause, our team was 97 yfwww fwfpwfmoy ff ' W Wx 5 W 1 4 0 f ze ff ' , f M fy Zz Wife W! ,Q Q j cf WW .

Nevertheless, they put up a hard fight, and as everything seemed to go wrong, I guess Fate was simply against them. Wilmington came to Norwood the next Friday all set to show us how they could play, and it was not quite so easy as they thought it was going to be. Did our girls fight that night? s Well, I guess! Much sportsmanship was displayed throughout the entire game, which ended with a tie score 9-9. We're going to defeat you next year, Wilmington! Lockland played its second game with us on our floor, proving to us that they could play basketball, too. They defeated us, but only after some rather stiff playing. February 18 brought Bellevue here with the preconceived certainty of walking away with the game 3 but they got fooled, for Norwood won, 16-11. Norwood walked away with Aurora, with a score of 32-9. Now, really, don't you think that almost made up for that Franklin disaster? In the University School game Ruth Perkins and Hilda Heineman showed up unusually well, but in spite of their good guarding, they had to give in to their opponents, and we suffered our second defeat, and lost our last game. Maxine and Winnie were our faithful forwards. Too much cannot be said about these girls. Mac, our Captain, was a good player and an encouraging leader. Nothing was ever too much or too difficult for Mac to do. Winnie was our star forward, indeed, she scored most of our points. She moved away from Norwood before the season was over, much to our regret. We certainly did miss her wonderful shots. Jane Bryce was our hard-working little side center, speedy and alert. Much is expected of Jane next season. Lillian Pohl- man made a center hard to excel. She filled this difficult position as no one else could, and she surely was a great help to the team. Keep the good work up, Lil. Ruth Perkins and Hilda Heineman were our star guards. They were the terror of many opponents. Hilda is our next year's captain - three cheers! She is sure to make a good one. The substitutes must be commended for their faithful work, always ready to enter a game if called upon, or to be helpful sparring partners for the regulars. These girls were Kathryn Townsley, Marjorie Bowen, Ella Dorfman, Louise Pfister and Janet Backus. Virginia McBride was our efficient manager. What would the girls have done witt qut her? J inny took a great interest in the game as well as the team, and was a great help to it.

Athletic tickets are sold early in the year in the form of football tickets. The owner of a ticket is entitled to vote for the student members of the Board. The Executive Board of the Athletic Association is made up of four teachers and three students. It meets whenever necessary to elect managers and assist- ant managers for all the school teams and to authorize and to provide for the payment of bills for the Various items of equipment used. But it is not the Board which makes possible the support of the teams 3 it is the loyal cooperation of all the members of the Association.

The Council has become a very important organization in Norwood High School and will continue such. The members consider and make decisions on far-reaching questions of school welfare, social activities, athletics, lunch-room regulations, and school loyalty. The locker committee has done much good and helpful work this year. The Council was responsible for the socials after the basket-ball games, for the sale of football, baseball, track and all banquet tickets. The Welfare Committee helped the athletic students to keep up their grades. During the first half of the year the oflicers were President, Edwin Barnes, Vice President, Marjorie Bowen, Secretary, Clifford Lindeman. Owing to the graduation of President Edwin Barnes, Marjorie Bowen was made President and Evelyn Hillebrand, Vice President. The Faculty Advisors were Miss Sutor, Mr. Howe and Mr. Warmoth.

THE HI -Y CLUB The purpose of the H i-Y is to create, maintain, and extend thronghtout the school and community high standards of Christian character. THE Hi-Y Club reconvened in September, with the desire to make it one of the best clubs in Norwood High School and there is no doubt that it has succeeded. g Lawrence Hegenbarth, ex-president of the club, returned from a world-wide conference held at Helsingfors, Finland, and told us all about his tour. The Norwood Hi-Y has two meeting places, namely, the Y. M. C. A. and the Presbyterian Church. We are indeed grateful to Mr. Hartmannsecretary of the local Y , for his help to our club. The officers who have carried on the work of the year are: First Semester - President, Roy Inskeepg Vice President, Daniel J onesg Secretary, Charles Logan, Treasurer, Robert Klein. Second Semester - President, Gilbert Radcliffe, Vice President, Byron Brown, Secre- tary, Willard Hessel, Treasurer, Robert Klein. The calendar for this school year was as follows: On October 28, 1926, the Hi-Y and the Girl Reserves conducted a Treasure Hunt which terminated at the tourist camp on the Boulevard. l Later, on November 17, Judge Darby, of the Common Pleas Court of Cin- cinnati, gave a very interesting talk to the club. During the Thanksgiving vacation we sent seven members to the Older Boys' Conference held at Lima, Ohio. These fellows certainly put Norwood on the map in Lima and brought back excellent reports of the findings. A dance was sponsored by the club on December 17, 1926, from which funds were raised to give a donation to the World Brotherhood Movement, the pur- pose of which is to establish Y. M. C. A. secretaries in foreign countries. The club conducted a five-cent check room at nearly every basketball game given at Norwood High School this year. Dan Jones was sent to the Middletown Hi-Y district conference to represent us on January 22, 1927. One of the most outstanding events of the year was the social given at East- ern Hills Y. M. C. A., to which each member was to bring a young lady. . A joint discussion was held with the Girl Reserves at the Presbyterian Church on February 19, under the leadership of Mr. Lee, who is a great friend and leader of all the Hi-Y clubs in and around Cincinnati. . I On March 2, Mr. Howe gave a very interesting talk to the fellows on religion, from which a good deal of information was received for a debate held on March 9, on the topic, One has to go to Church to be a Good Christian. - On March 11 we were well represented at a social given by the Girl Reserves and the Hi-Y boys at the Central Y. M. C. A. This immediately preceded a conference held at the University of Cincinnati on March 12. ' March 25 was the date of our play, Patty Makes Things Hum, which was given in cooperation with the Kings' Daughters of the Presbyterian Church. Much credit is due to the 'tDaughters for its success. The year's program closed with the regular Sophomore feed in May and a retreat before school closed. ' The present club hopes that the future members will try to live up to the slogan of the Hi-Y, Clean Living, Clean Speech, Clean Athletics and Clean Scholarship. ln conclusion, we wish to express our sincerest gratitude to Mr. Dunn, who has been our advisor and who has never hesitated to promote a good cause in our club. 0 GILBERT B.

This year has been the most successful since school banking was begun. Never has the weekly deposit record fallen below ninety per cent and on one memorable day, December 5, 1926, the school proudly showed one hundred per cent. The Bankers meet in Room 112 on the first and third Monday of each month and the meetings are concerned with plans for bank day operations. Miss Beavers is our Faculty Advisor and she does much to keep up the admirable record of the school. 1 1 Those who had the honor of holding office in the Bankers' Club the past year were: First Semester Jack Parker .... ,..,...... ...... .,.....

Honora Williams distributed the banners. Lest any one hold the idea that the Bankers' Club is Hall work and no play, and that we are therefore dull boys, we merely suggest that you ask any member about the semi-annual social meeting. The Club will surely miss Harry Rabe and Virginia McBride when they are graduated, but our hope lies in the worthy Sophomores and Freshmen coming on to take their places.

THE HYGR CLUB THE Girl Reserves formerly were not a school organization, but this year the Hygr Club was formed with Miss Charlotte E. Kehm as Faculty Advisor. Hygr means High-Y-Girl-Reserves. The club is composed of Freshman, Sophomore, Junior and Senior girls who desire to live up to the code and purpose of the Girl Reserves. The oflicers of the club were elected in the middle of September and are: President, Nettie Quigley 5 Vice President, Lucille Raidtg Secretary, Dorothy Deremog and Treasurer, Helen Hartman. In December a new G. R. Secretary, Miss Lillian Cromwell, was appointed by the Y. W. C. A. to take over the Work formerly done by Miss Dorothy Barnett, who had resigned to be married.. Cne of the phrases in the Girl Reserve code is 'fReady for service. The girls did much this year to carry out this ideal. At Thanksgiving time they helped to provide baskets for the less fortunate families of Norwood. On Christmas Eve a large number of girls went from house to house in groups singing carols to the shut-ins. One of those for whom we sang was Miss Amy Foote, who has been out of school all year because of illness. S All of us believe in the old saying that 'fAll work and no play makes Jack a dull boy, and taking its warning we try to mingle pleasure with our every activity. We have enjoyed supper meetings, skating parties, hikes and teas. In May a carnival was given at the Norwood City Hall. The profits will be used to send delegates to the summer conferences at Camp Gray, Michigan. Also many girls will attend the summer camp at Lenmary, New Trenton, Ohio, during June and July. The success of the Hygr Club for the past year is due to the strong coopera- tion existing between the girls and the Secretary, and we sincerely hope the underclassmen will be as interested and will carry on the work even more successfully next year.

J MASQUE AND SCROLL THE Masque and Scroll has had a successful year. With the untiring guidance of Miss Jacob we have staged three plays. Evening Dress Indispensable was given at the Band Concert in December and repeated at the Federation Club House a few weeks later, the characters being taken by Hilda Heineman, Marjorie Bowen, Marshall Hunt, Bill Sage and Louise Charlton. The Christmas play, a poetic episode, entitled The Loveliest Thing, was not the success that it should have been, but the fault was not the cast's. Those who took part were Charles Harris, Betty First, Janet Hausser, William Beckett, Beth Guckenberger, Ruth Kernan and Adolph Almgren. For the Parent-Teachers' Association in April we gave The Trunk from India, with a cast consisting of Jane Bryce, Ruby Muchmore, Kathryn Goehler, Marjorie Behrman, Roy Inskeep, William Beckett, Charles Harris and Thomas Russell. The Florist's Shop provided entertainment for a meeting of the Garden Club in June. The otlicers elected in September were: Eleanor Shick ..... ' ......Preszdent Marshall Hunt ..... ....

T rearsurer We were sadly hampered by the lack of boys the first half of the year. Let us hope that next September's Masque and Scroll will be rich in masculine talent, and will not be forced, as we Were, to rely so much on a few faithful enthusiasts. Thanks to Miss Jacob, who held us together and helped us in moments of discouragement, we have carried out Masque and Scroll traditions.

Mme T, ff ZWWWM THE BAND NDER the able leadership of Conductor Sage, the Norwood High School Band has been a great success. With the patronage of the Parents' and Teachers' Association, and aided by many good friends it took a prominent part in an entertainment given for its benefit in the early fall and the proceeds of the evening purchased attractive uniforms of blue cloth, faced and trimmed with red. The band played at all the athletic contests at home and at several abroad. It furnished music for a number of plays given by various churches in Norwood, including one sponsored by the Hi-Y Club, for pep meetings at the school, and for various banquets, including the Girls' Basketball Banquet and the Fathers' and Sons' Banquet, given in the high-school lunchroom. It played also at a dinner given by the churches of Norwood for their basketball teams. lt is to play every afternoon and evening at this season's Norwood Spring Festival. The officers of the band for the first semester Were: President, Gurney Risk 5 Vice President, John Euansg Secretary, Robert Lindemang and Treasurer, Floyd Harris. The present officers are: President, John Euansg Vice President, Louis Fehrg Secretary, Mary Oserg and Treasurer, Edmond Bohsdorf.

Cook, who deserves sincere appreciation for his unceasing efforts toward a bigger and better orchestra and for the many hours of diligent practice through which he led its members. Officers of the organization were in the first half-year: President, Floyd Harris, Vice President, John Euansg Secretary, Louis Fehrg Treasurer, Mary Oserg Librarian, Gurney Risk. Second half, they were: President, Bill Sage, Vice President, Virginia lVIcBrideg Secretary, Edith Sacstroh, Treasurer, Floyd Harris, Librarian, Earl Rodefeld. The Orchestra furnished appropriate music on numerous important occa- sions and will play for the Senior Class Play, the eighth-grade graduation and the high school commencement. - Each year the Orchestra members have some entertainment for themselves. This year it was a theater party. Everyone forgot the fiddle and the bow and spent an enjoyable evening in being entertained instead of entertaining others. Any student of Norwood High School, playing an orchestral instrument, is cordially invited to join the Norwood High School Orchestra next year.

During the eleven years of its existence the club's influence has been great and it is one of the largest and most beneficial groups in the school. It was organized in September, 1916, by Mr. Cook, the musical director. The first six years were spent mostly in choral work, but in the last few years, under Mr. Cook's direction, we have given four operettas, Miss Cherry- blossom, being the first one, Paul Revere the next year, The Wild Rose and The Wishing Well following in turn. In order to keep up the choral work and to train the boys' voices, Mr. Cook organized the Boys' Glee Club in 1924. Both clubs joined to give the operetta, Hilda of Holland, last year. LeIawaIa, an Indian legend, was presented by the combined clubs on March 4 and 5, 1927. The story was a beautiful one, tending to tragedy, but with enough humor in it to relieve the sadness, and with a happy ending. Because of the warm reception of last year's performance, it was decided to present the operetta two nights this year. Both nights brought out large and enthusiastic audiences. Miss Mary Griffith, the dramatic director from the Cincinnati Conservatory of Music, deserves much credit for its success. Much praise must be given to our accompanists, Virginia McBride and Ruby Muchmore, whose generous gifts of time and effort are greatly appreciated, and to the clubs' officers as well. Our able President is Mabel Davenport, Vice President, Grace Nagel, Corresponding Secretary, Dorothy Ford, Financial Secretary, Ruth Kernang Council Representative, Alice Gintnerg .Mirror Reporter, Ruth Hendricksg our faithful Librarians, Mary Hamilton, Elizabeth Coughlin, Roberta Kelly and Hilda Heineman. Mr. Cook has been with the club for eleven long years, and it is because of his untiring efforts and patience that the Girls' Glee Club is now what. it is. We hope that Mr. Cook may be our director for many more years, helping and in- spiring the girls as he has done in the past. GRACE NAGEL. BUYS' GLEE CLUB THE Boys' Glee Club has just completed its fourth year. It numbers thirty boys, all of whom have passed the vocal test and who have had the perseverance to maintain the standards set by the club. A great deal of pleasure and satisfaction was experienced by the members in the preparation and presen- 'gtioncof the very artistic operetta, Lelawala, in conjunction with the Girls' lee lub. The club furnished selections at the commencement exercises. The Boys' and Girls' Glee Clubs gave their annual dance in the gymnasium, for the members and their friends. The Glee Club is extremely fortunate in having Mr. J. G. Cook, a man of wide knowledge and years of experience, as its founder and director. Much of the success of the Glee Club and its operettas has been due to him. There are those of us who regret that the time has come to leave, since we have always enjoyed the work under his baton. Those students who expect to enter the work in the future will find Mr. Cook a good friend and an able musician. WM. BECKETT. 125 M f wwfmy f , fWf,W,, Wm?

E are always conscious that the Public at large in these days of rapid transition and change is very slow to recognize real quality in anything. OOD service is a matter of willing to do rather than natural ability or even talent. HE brightest pupils in school often lack the will power to put things over, hence are finally a very mediocre success M- but the conscientious willing worker is bound to suc- ceed, and a good intellect, backed up by a practical high school education, will give the boy and girl at least a good start.
