Our division pages show the various vehicles which the world has known as modes of travel. Sixteen thumbnail sketches carrying out the same idea are found as headings on the pages throughout the book. This is the first issue ot the Silhouette in which colored backgrounds have been used for our drawings. The four-colored frontispiece ot the high school is the most ambitious thing that any statT has attempted. We are gratetul to a good friend tor the photograph of Norwood ' s first schoolhouse to be seen on the opposite page. The contrast between it and our present building is remarkable. Jt shows a progress worthy of Norwood. A year of effort has been given trying to make our Silhouette a personal book; we want all Norwood High School students to feel that it belongs to them. It is our hope that this book will bring back memories of happiest school days and revive old triendships. We have shown throughout the book improvements and achievements ot our school, which boasts ot a fine loyalty from both faculty and students. Ann Farber — Editor. To Mr. Rav Warmoth T ' he c asses of igj2 respectfiillx dedicate this Silhouette to Mr. JVarmoth, iv iose friendship ojid nn- failing; help, both as a teacher and advisor, -icill alivaxs remain as a pleasant memor in our hearts. Mr. C. W. Johnson Mr. Johnson, our well-liked and efficient superintendent, has served as the head of the Norwood Schools for nine years. Mr. B. V. I ' Li.Rs Mr. I ' ulks came to Norwood High School tour ' ears ago and has made our high-school da)s most ha]ipy. Miss Honora Jacob THE DEATH ot Miss Hoiiora Jacob, who passed away on March 13, has left in the taculty a breach which will be difficult to fill. In her forty years ot service as a teacher, hundreds of pupils have known her guidance; the many alumni will testit} ' to her unselfish work in her chosen profession. Miss Jacob always put service before self. Her work as advisor to The Mirro}- and the Masque and Scroll, in training commencement speakers and directing class plays, and in performing extra duties at school, was equaled by few, surpassed by none. Cheerfully she helped her students in their school troubles and their private difficulties; no one person will ever know the full extent of her charities. Her pupils will ever remember her as a devoted teacher and a friend whose pleasant smile and humor radiated to her listeners. Her description of picturesque England and her instructions in good manners made us feel that we had gained much more than a knowledge of English from her classes. The fact that Miss Jacob had been an earnest student herself gave us an example by which to direct our study. As the result of her work at the Ohio State University (many hours were completed in summer school), she was awarded the key of Phi Beta Kappa by the Epsilon chapter of Ohio. Her untiring patience and regularity in performing her duties won the admiration of all who were fortunate enough to know her. There can be no more fitting memorial to our beloved teacher than the memories which we cherish in our hearts. Following her wise in- struction, we are already on the road to more useful and worth} ' service. — Robert Hausser.

If any one doubts that the February graduates were born, that they once were charming infants, will such a doubter please gaze upon our baby pictures on pages 28 and 29? But babies must grow up, enter and pass through the grade schools, and at about the age of fourteen be ready for the high school. Four years ago, on a cold February morning in 1928, some eighty Freshmen straggled into a large and handsome brick building on Sherman Avenue. They were a bewildered group, filled with legends of high-school life, hoping for the best, anticipating the worst. We survivors of that group, all unaware then who would weather the test, viewed with consternation those four years ahead of us. An eternity it seemed. We entered the formidable building expecting to be unnoticed and unappreciated. To be quite truth- ful, we pitied ourselves and the sad plight of Freshies. We were not long in learning how mistaken we had been. The realiza- tion that the teachers are genuine, lovable people who take an interest in our welfare was an inspiration to us. In our Sophomore year, things sailed along nicely. At least, there was a class lower than ourselves upon which we could look down. Presto! We became Juniors. Could it be possible that we had reached a stage where we were permitted to chum with Seniors ? Our class celebrated the end of our Junior year by a party at the home of our president, Ted Kersker. In February, 1931, came the last rung of the ladder. W ' e were Seniors, beginning the best year of high-school life. We formed an intimacy with the Faculty. Our school spirit rose to its height. We whispered among ourselves, This is the seventh heaven. Humble words cannot describe the ecstasy of being Seniors. And then in May ten of our members, with the June class of 193 1, made the memorable trip to Washington that has been talked about ever since. We cannot begin to relate in our class history the adventures we had on that wonderful journey to the national capital. Sometimes when our hearts were beating fast from the thrills we were experiencing, some- one would draw a deep breath and say to Miss Kehm or to Mr. Cleaver, If this is a dream, please don ' t wake me up. On June seventeenth we had a class picnic, with swimming at Phillips ' pool. Just before sunset we ate a picnic supper at Ault Park. In September we returned to school from a joyous vacation with the determination to be unique in being the best-behaved February class that Norwood High has ever had. We elected as officers Ted Kersker, Ruth Stacey, Madge Buskirk, and Wesley Wyatt. Thanks to Miss Fair- 30 weather ' s guidance, our upper Senior year was filled with genuine fun. But, in spite of many good times, we can boast that our studies were not neglected. Many of our members finished their high-school careers with scholastic honors. Now, not because it is a tradition, but because we feel it in our hearts, we express our appreciation to the Faculty. Four years of our youth have been spent with you, and we assure you that they have been supremely happy. God bless our friends at Norwood High. Marietta Duke. FEBRUARY ' 32 CLASS SONG Tune — Sweetheart of Sigma Chi UR student days in old Norwood High, Are held in memory dear. The work we ' ve done, and the hours of fun Stay with us year after year.

What feminine heart does not flutter when Drum-Major Kersker leads Norwood High ' s band across the football field? We are very proud that Ted is ours. He knows well how to combine the frivolous side of life with the serious. RUTH STACEY, Vice-President June 23 Her air, her manners, all who saw admired; Courteous though coy, and gentle though retired. Athletic .Association, i, 2, 3, 4; Hygr, i, 2, 3; Glee Club, 1,2; Fasdal Club, 2; Opera Club, 3, 4; Mask and Scroll, 4; Class Vice-President, 3, 4; Class Secretary, 4; Mirror Staff (Alumni Editor), 4; Senior Sponsor, 4; Class Play. Ruth takes her school work seriously, yet when it is time to play, she is in the midst of everything. On several occasions she has shown her executive ability by making class affairs successful. We could not do without her. MADGE BUSKIRK, Secretary .April 14 The mildest manners with the bravest mind. .Athletic .Association, i, 2, 3, 4; Hygr, i, 2, 3, 4; Girls ' .

Madge is one of the sweetest girls we know. Her grades are invariably near the perfect mark, but French is her specialty. Not satisfied with being a model student, she is active in basketball and other sports. ■ESLEY WYATT, Treasurer December 16 The first in glory, as the first in place. Basketball, i, 2; Baseball, 2, 3, 4; Athletic Asso- ciation, 2, 3, 4; N Club, 3, 4; Secretary, 4; Class Treasurer, 4; Class Play. Our athletic ability is by no means limited. Wes was the star pitcher on the baseball team last spring. He is a gentleman to the tips of his fingers. 32 THELMA BREWER October I4 Fair-haired, azure-eyed, with delicate Saxon complexion Hygr, I, 2; Thrift Club, 3, 4. Thelma has a natural drawl in her speech that is quite inimitable. And fascinating to hear. She has those characteristics which the world demands of good sports- manship. NOLAN BARKER August 27 Sometliing allempled, somelhing done. Athletic Association, i, 2, 3, 4; Track, 2; Cafe- teria Committee, 3, 4. Nolan is our big million-dollar man from the Five and Ten. He is a hard worker and is always in a good humor. THELMA BUSARD July 7 Small in stature, but large in character. , 4; Glee Club, i, 2; ; Thrift Club, 2, 3, 4; Athletic .Association, i, 2, Girls ' Athletic Association, Opera Club, 3, 4. Thelma is often seen flitting about Norwood in her Chevrolet. She has always had her part in all projects, scholastic and social. EDWARD BARRICKLOW February i ; Good humor is the health of the soul. .Athletic .Association, 2, 3, 4; Cafeteria Com- mittee, 3, 4; Stage Committee for Class Play. His friendliness and modesty make him admired b all who know him. The fact that Ed is good-looking may have something to do with his popularity. VIRGINIA BURNETT January 13 OJ surpassing beauty and in ihe bloom oj youth. Athletic Association, i, 2, 3, 4; Girls ' Athletic Association, i, 1, 3, 4; Hiking Manager, 4; Hygr, I, 2, 3, 4; Fasdal Club, 2; Glee Club, i, 2; Opera Club, 3, 4; Choral Club, 3, 4; Mask and Scroll (Vice-President), 3; Class Treasurer, 4; Senior Sponsor, 4; Class Play. Here is an ideal senior. Ginny is studious, athletic, and active in Girl Reserve work. The merry twinkle in her blue eyes tells the world she is ready for any, and all, fun. BEDFORD BISHOP September 22 The great end of life is not knowledge, hut action. Athletic Association, 2, 3; Stage Committee for Class Play. Bedford is a quiet, easy-going boy in the classroom, but did you ever see him whizzing through the streets on his motorcycle? We hope that he will go far in the world of mechanics. KATHLEEN CARTER January 22 Gentle of speech, beneficent of mind. .Athletic Association, i, 2, 3, 4; Girls ' Athletic Association, i, 2, 3, 4; Hygr, i, 2, 3, 4; Glee Club, I, 1; Fasdal Club, 2; Choral Club, 3; Mask and Scroll, 3; Opera Club, 3, 4; Cafeteria Committee, 4; Senior Sponsor, 4; Class Play. Always a loyal supporter of school organizations, jolly and good-natured; a true friend. Incidentally, Kasey and Ginny Burnett are among the few girls who braved the unknown mysteries of trigonometry. MYLIN DECKER ' MDctober 31 A lit tle nonsense, now and then. Is relished by the best of men. Athletic Association, i, 2, 3, 4; Stage Director for Class Play. As carefree as the April breeze is Mylin. Have we ever seen him perplexed over anything? He keeps many a gathering in gales of laughter with his antics. You really miss something if you don ' t know this boy. 34 ALICE BETTY DECKER July 14 Her voice is ever sojl, gentle, and his, an excelleni l iin:( in woman. Athletic Association, i; Girls ' Athletic Associa- tion, I, 2; Band, I, 2, 3, 4; Orchestra, 2; Hygr, I, 2; Glee Club, i, 2; Opera Club, 3, 4; Mirror Staff (Alumni Editor), 4. Betty and chic seem to be synonymous. Throughout the tour years she has been a valuable member of the band. In tact, no gathering of the Red and Blue would be complete without her. ELBERT ERIEND February 7 Few things are impossible to diligence and skill. Athletic Association, i, 2, 3, 4; Thritt Club, i; Hi-Y, 3; Caleteria Committee, 4; Class Play. El is always laughing and ioking. Through friendliness he has won high esteem from all. He looks perfectly at home on a bakery wagon, and we know his customers like him. MARIETTA DUKE October 30 None know thee but to love thee, Xor name thee but to praise. Athletic .Association, 3, 4; Class Secretary, 3; Mirror Staff (Exchange Editor), 4; Cafeteria Committee, 4; Silhouette Staff (February Class Editor), 4; Class Play. Conscientious and loyal is Marietta. She is always ready to help the rest of us in any way she can. Her gracious smile has won for her a host of friends at Norwood High. HARRY HILL October iS Silence sweeter is than speech. .Atiilctic .Association, 3, 4; Hi-Y, 3, 4; Mirror Staff (Exchange F.diror), 4; Business Manager of Class Play. Harry is a young man who thinks much but says little. Such wisdom deserves praise. He was a member of the Mirror Staff, and an energetic worker tor the class play. 3 ; ALICE HOLMES June 20 She may look quiet and sedate. But when you know her she ' s just great. Athletic Association, i, 2, , 4; Hvgr, i, 2, 3, 4; ■ Glee Club, i, 2; Fasdal Club, i, 2; Choral Club, 3; Mask and Scroll, 3; Opera Club, 3, 4; Mirror Staff (News Editor), 4; Cafeteria Committee, 4; Class Play. Alice possesses a charm that we cannot adequately describe. She is a diligent student and a gentle-natured girl. HOWARD MATHES December i He leaves behind him the love of friends without a single foe. Athletic Association, i; Band, 2, 3, 4; Orchestra, 2, 3, 4; Opera Club, i, 2, 3, 4, President, 4; Choral Club, 2, 3, 4; Hi-Y, 3, 4; Class Play. Howard is just between boyhood and manhood and he reveals the worth-while qualities of both ages. He is an all-around good fellow. RUTH LEWE November 12 She couldn ' t be stilt if she would. And she wouldn ' t be still if she could. Athletic .Association, i, 2, 3, 4; Hygr, I, 2, 3, 4; Glee Club, i, 2; Fasdal Club, i, 2; Mask and Scroll, 3; Choral Club, 3; Girls ' Athletic Asso- ciation, 3; Opera Club, 3, 4; Thrift Club, 2, 3, 4. If every fair-haired maiden is like this one, then we have found the reason for gentlemen ' s preference for blondes. Ruth has had charge of our banking accounts for man) ' a semester. LAWRENCE MORGAN March 9 His smile is sweetened by his gravity. Orchestra, 2; Band, 2, 3; Mask and Scroll (Secre- tary), 3; Opera Club, 2, 3; Choral Club, 3; Cheer- leader, 3; Mirror Staff, 4; Assistant Business Manager, Class Play. Yeah, team! That ' s Larry out there leading the cheers. And can he wield a megaphone? He has a serious nature, too, and has made his place. 36 DORIS LOVELESS February i8 Noble in eiery thought and every deed. Van Wert High School, i, l; Norwood Hit;h School, 2, 4- Here is the true brunette of the class. Doris is of the tall, willowy type with black hair and an olive com- plexion. She came to us in her junior year, bringing the charm of her gentle manners to endear her to her new classmates. EDWARD RIETMAN December 24 Honor lies in honest toil. Athletic Association, i, 2, 3, 4; Football, ;; Swim- ming, 3; Class President, 3; Class Treasurer, 3; Class Vice-President, 4; Class Play. Ed typifies all that we admire in the American youth. In our class play, Apple Blossom Time, he made a hit as Bob Matthews, the hero. DOROTHY McNeill February 7 The joy of youth and health her eyes displayed, And ease of heart her every look conveyed. Norwood High School, i; Glee Club, i; Fasdal, i; Knoxville (Tennessee) High School, 2; Lockland High School, i; Norwood High School, 4; Opera Club, 4. Dorothy was with us only the first and fourth years of the course — half time but wholly appreciated. She had a leading role in last year ' s operetta, Sunbonnet Sue. Her voice is her greatest treasure and the pride ot her classmates. ALBERT RINCKENBERGER December 7 Young fellows will be young fellows. .Athletic Association, i, 2, 3, 4; Band, i, 2, 3, 4; Orchestra, i, i, 3; Football, 3, 4; Stage Com- mittee for Class Play. Kincky is another one of our boys who looks on the humorous side o( things. He toots a saxophone, and we predict that he will surpass Ruiiy ' allce. Didn ' t his Minnie the Moocher in the band minstrels prove this? 37 MIRIAM MITCHELL April 12 Thy modesty s a candle to thy merit. Athletic Association, i, 2, 4; Girls ' Athletic Association, 4; Senior Sponsor, 4; Cafeteria Committee, 4.

JEAN PRATHER November 7 ' ' Her sunny disposition always wins friends. Athletic Association, i, 2, 3,4, Secretary, 3; Girls ' Athletic Association, 2, 3; Hygr, i, 2, 3, 4; Mirror Staff (Girls ' Athletic Editor), 3; Ma sk and Scroll, 3, 4; Senior Sponsor, 4; Class Play. Pert, peppy, and popular — that ' s Jean. She is a true sportswoman, and was a captivating leading lady for our class play. ELIZABETH RIETH November i Fashioned so slenderly. Young and so fair. Hygr, I; Senior Sponsor, 4. Lib is an exponent of the high-school girl ' s giggle. Her abundance of native wit keeps away dull moments. But she has many friends for she always laughs with, not at, people. RAYMOND WATERMAN August 18 Sweet mercy is nobility ' s true badge. Athletic Association, 2, 3; Basketball, 3; Baseball, 3, Stage Committee for Class Play. Ray ' s politeness brightens every room. His cheerful smile announces that he thoroughly enjoys life. 38 Class Will, February ' 32 WE, THE February class of 1932 ot Norwood High, mindful of the certainty o f our demise (in fact, the certainty of our demise having been prophesied again and again before each examinationj, and being of sound mind (despite the private opinion of our instructors; and disposing memory (our memories in truth having quickly disposed of every- thing we learned) — do make and publish this, our last will and testament: Item I. — We hereby direct that all our just debts be paid, particularly our class dues, and so relieve the mind of our class treasurer. Item 2. — To the June class, knowing their great need thereof, we give, devise, and bequeath our studious habits. Item J. — To the Class of 1934, who have thus far struggled under the handicap of lower classmanship, we give our lovely dis- positions. Item 4. — To the Freshmen, we leave our earnestness ot pur- pose and our dignified ways. Item . — Having, during our tour years ot close application and strenuous study, accumulated a large assortment of mistakes, and having no further need for them, we give, devise, and be- queath them to the Seventh and Eighth Grades, as the will have a long time to overcome them. Item 6. — To the Board of Education, we bequeath our Hallecks and Woolleys, which have been but slightly used, and are as good as new, with a fervent request that they be entombed and so preserved for future generations. Item 7. — The Class of 1933 we would cut off with the proverbial shilling, for their addiction to yo-yo tops and chewing gum must be overcome before they rise to the dignity ot being Seniors. .- 11 the rest and residue of our estate — to-wit, our rights to the detention hall — we leave in trust to the Faculty, for the sole use and benefit of our successors, to be used and applied where it will do the most good. Signed and declared to be our last will and testament this eighth day of February, 1932. February Class of 1 32. Ted Kersker, President. The above will was signed by the President for the Class ot February, 193;, declared to be their last will and testament, and at his request we have hereunto set our hands as witnesses in his presence and in the presence of each other.

Class Poem D EAR Norwood High, farewell! The goal f 01 ' which we aimed. Through four hard studious years. At last has been attained. Though joy should fill our hearts, A secret tear soft falls; True, our big task is now complete But we must leave thy halls. The carefree life of schooF s gay round At last has reached an end; And we are sad at parting with Loved teacher, and staunch friend. And yet as optimistic youth JVe can ' t be sad for long; Life holds for us a big surprise; Adventure beckons on. And so with heads held high. With banner proud unfurled. We leave these halls with hearts intoit On conquest of the world. Rlth a. Lewe. ' ' Some minds improve by travel.

Our teachers tried and true Taught us to follow the straightest path In everything we do. Our ship is drawing near the port, The harbor lights we see. Lights of success and happiness For all our davs to be. We ' re facing life, and well prepared To conquer an foe. We can do no more than our best As through the ' world we go.

First, we direct that all our just debts, expenses of four years in Nor- wood High School, and funeral expenses when we depart, be paid as soon as may be practicable. Then, to the graduating classes of nineteen hundred thirty-three, we leave the privilege of organizing and of electing class off icers and of main- taining supreme control, that power being granted only to those obtaining the high rank of dignified Seniors. We bequeath to our beloved Faculty, who have given us their untiring assistance and helpful advice during the years we have spent here, our sincere gratitude and appreciation, with the hope they will be granted the opportunity of teaching other classes such as ours. To our parents, the satisfaction of having seen us through the first struggling steps of life ' s education and of making us what we are. To the workers of the lunch room and to Mrs. Small, our hope that they may survive our absence. To the remaining students of our dearly loved school, a word of con- dolence and encouragment. May you have the honor of some day graduat- ing with as worthy classmates as ours. Lastly, our und ' ing appreciation to our Silhouette advisors. Miss Morton and Mr. Dunn, who have enabled us to publish this book. In witness whereof, we have hereunto set our hand upon the date and year aforesaid. Signed: Thelma Allison. Witnesses: . Alfred Weisbrod, 2210 Cathedral Avenue, Norwood, Ohio. Arthur Clark, 5035 Stewart Park, Norwood, Ohio. 76 June Class Prophecy s Dot Christy and I were walking down Sherman Avenue one sunny r afternoon in 1947, we stopped in front of Norwood High and com- mented on how well the old school looked. Really, it doesn ' t seem to have changed a bit, 1 said, except for the new right wing. Remember what good times we used to have there? Yes, answered Dot. Can you ever forget the last few days when our class was all together: That was just fifteen years ago. Wouldn ' t you love to know what they ' re all doing now, out in the world. ' I ' d like to have just one glimpse of theni. Maybe you can, said a wee, cracked voice. There stood a tiny, elf-like man with a long white beard and twinkling blue eyes. Who are you? Dot and I cried together. I am the Master of Good Wishes, the dwarf explained. It is within my power to make wishes come true — that is, if the wishes are innocent and worth while. I heard you talking just now and I feel that since it would make you both very happy, I shall do my good deed to-day by letting you see your former classmates at work throughout the world. But how can you? we asked. Listen, he said. Here are two telescopes. They are magic tele- scopes. Take them. We reached out slowly and grasped them, too astonished to speak. Now go into Norwood High — go up past the lunchroom. It ' s still where it always was. Near the entrance of the cafeteria you ' ll see a tiny man who looks somewhat like me, except he ' s younger than I. Go up to him and say, ' June Class of ' 32 ' three times. Then he ' ll lead you up to the roof of the school. When you get up there, look in every direction and you ' ll see your old friends, wherever they ma ' happen to be. Mien )-ou ' ve fin- ished, I ' ll come to get the telescopes. With these words the Master of Good Wishes vanished. Dot and I turned and hurried up the steps of the school, past teachers and pupils who looked at us in amazement. In another moment we were near the little man. We repeated the words, ' June Class of ' 32, ' three times, and instantly we were on the roof of the school, ready to begin our thrilling observations. Oh, E vehn, look up in the sk), cried Di)t, adjusting her telescope. I see policemen directing traffic in the clouds. There ' s Eldon Tingley, Dick Shick, and Roy Benjamin in the niftiest uniforms! Ted Dorl is there, too. He has just stopped Paul Hegenbarth, who is piloting a plane. Paul must have been speeding, or maybe he didn ' t see a stop sign. On the bot- tom of the plane it says, ' .Ackermann l- ' lying Co. ' — Al Ackermann must be president. Well! Well! Oh, Dot, I ' m looking at New York. There ' s an awfully tall skyscraper with a big sign, ' National Television, Inc. ' I see Bob Hausser in the 77 office marked ' President. ' Helen Lange and Thelma Allison are two radio- television stars. Shirley Stephenson is singing in another studio, while Kay Robinson is dancing. Down the street on Broadway are bright sign boards in front of the Palace Theater. One says, ' Phyllis Hathaway in CATCH OF THE SEASON. ' Suddenly we both looked in the same direction and one of New York ' s biggest hotels came before our eyes — the Waltoria. In one of its large ballrooms was a swanky little orchestra directed by Earl Eakins. In it we saw Charles Medert, George Longman, and Al Haustetter. The next person who caught our eye was none other than George Zorini — our old bottle-slinger. Yaatz was head waiter and was just then waiting on a group of people who looked very familiar to us. As we looked closer we saw that there sat Margaret Mau and Jayne Lyle, two business women of Cincinnati, who were in New York on a short trip. They were being enter- tained during their visit as guests of Dorothylou Falls, noted society leader. They seemed to be talking about old friends for Jayne said: Have you read Marcus Kondritzer ' s new magazine, ' Hoodlum ' ? If you haven ' t, you should. Speaking of magazines, Margaret remarked, I was looking the other day through a baseball journal called ' Socko. ' The editor is our friend, Paul Kennedy. One article was about Horace Weak, now first baseman of the New York Giants, and Alvin Graessle was mentioned as one of the promising pitchers for the Athletics this year. Can you imagine that? said Dot. Paul always was interested in sports, though, and Horace and Alvin have surely made something of their high-school baseball training. As our eyes traveled on down Broadway we saw another big sign, which read: Hear Walter Wurster, second Morton Downey, over the Connor Candy Hour, sponsored by makers of Connor ' s Candy. George Connor, President. Wally ' s latest song hit — ' Sailing Thru the Clouds to lou . Suddenly Dot said, I am going to turn my telescope toward Cincin- nati. Why, look — there is the Sunny Tea Room, with Dot Sippel and Ann Farber, proprietors. Helen Buns and Alma Hopper are at one of the tables. They must be stenographers in for lunch. Farther down the street is a beauty shop owned by Garnet Bauer. Lucy Kelly is working there, too. In the Deaconess Hospital, Alethea Anderson, the head nurse, is explaining the technique of taking temperatures to Marian Apking and Virginia Geglein. Dorothy Burns, a famous dietitian, is giving the menus for the day to her secretary, Beverly Fox. I now see a billboard that says Irwin Haley is a solo violinist for the Cincinnati Symphony Orchestra. I didn ' t know that. At the Music Hall in Cincinnati Helen Schmidt was giving a piano concert. Her publicity manager was Harold Mayer, and her private secretary, Luella Moore. Thelma Shaw was a dancer and Bill Ferguson a 78 tumbler with the R. K. O. Circuit at the Albee. Two prominent bankers, Art W ' uest and Bob Sparks, were preparing for a trip to the Olympic Games in Florida, in which Bernice Pickelheimer, famous woman diver, was going to represent the United States. ■As we looked on, our telescopes shitted to Chicago. Johnn) ' Lemcke was there playing the cornet in a well-known dance orchestra. Bob Goss- ling, advertising manager ot the Meyer Motor Car (owned by Lester Meyer) was in his office on Michigan Avenue. Eileen Lannon was his secretary and Mil Tudor, his commercial artist. In a book shop down the street Jean Mill was trying to sell Earl Conover, a wealthy business man, a copy ot Lowell Busler ' s latest travel book, Hair-Raising Experiences in Russia. As Earl was glancing through the book he noticed the trontispiece, which was a photograph of the expedi- tion party. They were Bob Wadsworth, Remo Carrelli, Dick Pettit, and Bill Lindemann. Also in Chicago was the large Benham Chemi stry Laboratories. Let ' s look at Washington, I said. We both turned our telescopes to the capitol city. The U. S. Marine Band was parading down Pennsylvania Avenue in honor of Mr. Wm. r Lartin, L ' . S. Ambassador to England, who had just returned trom London. Whom should we see tooting their horns but Charles Johnson and Warren Lapp. Jane Fordyce, Senator from Ohio, was in the Senate making a speech on a new bill. After this our eyes were turned to the new big gym at Georgia Tech, where this school ' s basketball team, under the coaching ot Bud Spicer, was playing Tulane, with Gene Xeal as coach. As our eyes skimmed the throng ot rooters we saw Marie Sapp, Frances Rice, and Xerii ' aughan enjoying the game. We learned later that these three were jomt owners ot a large cafeteria in Atlanta, which was patronized by all the Georgia Tech collegians. On the other side of the gym was a group of U. S. Marines on leave. Among these were Dan Rooch, Mack Tatlock, and Merritt Adams. Mel Koch was on the floor as sports reporter tor the Atlanta Tribune, with his notebook and pencil very much in use. As we both looked west, Hollywood loomed before our eyes. There we saw Pearl Hirsch, Mignon Keller, and Esther Momberg designing cos- tumes to be worn by Dot Watson in her latest picture, Keen — O Kid, produced by the Clark Cinema Corporation and directed by Al Weisbrod. Also in Hollywood was the Dimkit Doughnut Co., with Warren Hensel and Donald Dodsowrth as partners in the business. We quickly turned our eyes to the southeast ot the I ' nited States to Florida. We saw Russ Pendery walking about in his large orange grove, talking to Virginia Hagedorn, an authoritv on tropical plant lite. With her was Betty Zimmerman, who was having a short vacation trom her duties as instructor of women ' s athletics at Dennison L ' niversity. In another city in Florida we found Johnny Myers being praised and entertained for his recent speed record in auto racing. Johnin ' always did like to speed. Herbert Hunt, famous screen idol, was seen at Palm Beach with Ardath Burks, speaker and writer of world-wide affairs, who was enjoying the delights of the sand and sea. Herbert was reading a new novel by Bob Henke, gorgeously illustrated by Willard Gorsuch. West, we found Elva Corell, Virginia Sendelbeck, and Ruth Thayer in the Botany Department of the University of Wisconsin. Here also was Jim Cook, a football coach, who highly recommends Del Snider ' s book, Football — How to Play It, to all his boys. Since we had seen almost every one we decided to see what was happen- in Norwood. Perhaps we ' d find some of our friends here. We saw in Nor- wood ' s latest skyscraper the ofifice of Dr. Robert Fisher and also that of Robert Black, a dentist. Near by was a door marked Cecilia Fulton and Harriet Kamphaus, Public Stenographers. At the Y. W. C. A. we found Jane McArthur as secretary and Charlotte Axenroth as a Girl Reserve leader. Ann Seidel was a prominent worker in the Y. W. C. A., also. Carl Becker, successful Norwood business man, was president of the Kiwanis Club. Bill Haller was now Norwood ' s chief of police, and John Sarles a Boy Scout leader. Stanley Stall was the cartoonist for the Nor- wood News, and Helen Kellerman was an editor for this paper. Anne Smith owned a sweet shop on Main Avenue. As we were looking at the door of her shop we saw Mary Louise Glenn enter. She was writer of a column of advice of the Woman ' s Page of the Cincinnati Post. Charles Coughlen and Bill Hendricks were Norwood ' s foremost lawyers. Dorothy Hirschmann was at a Women ' s Club reading some of her poetry, for which she was becoming very well known. Marjorie Ittel was manageress of a dress shop on Main Avenue. Marion Floyd was seen going down Mont- gomery Road at a very rapid pace. He must have been on the trail of a scoop, for he ' s an editor on The Cincinnati Enquirer. Bewildered by so much of interest. Dot and I decided we must have seen every one, but before we could look any more we were confronted by the Master of Good wishes again. i re you finished? he asked. Yes, we said. We don ' t know how to thank you, though. You ' ve been wonderfully kind to us, and you ' ve made us very happy. Fm certainly glad I have, he answered, for that ' s what I try to do. Again he vanished. W e left the school feeling pleased indeed with our afternoon ' s pastime. When we tell our friends this story they do not believe it and say that such a thing is not plausible. That may be true. Whether to believe it or not is left up to you. But if sometimes you doubt us, ask Richard Hall, a chemistry teacher at Norwood, or Carolyn Struble and Ann Mullen, who work in the office of Norwood High, about this story. It has been told that Dot and I were seen rushing madly through the halls one day, and that two figures were seen on the roof of the school by Virginia Yeager, a kinder- garten teacher at Allison, shortly after. Again we say, the plausibility of this tale is left up to you. — Evelyn Wiford, Dot Christy.

February Class of 1933 WE ARE the class of February, 19J3. We have attained the position of Twelfth Lower, and we shall be very glad to reach the coveted dignity of Upper Seniors, although we shall be sorry to leave Norwood High. With Miss Sutor advising, the officers tor the hrst semester were: President, Henry Spicer; ' ice-President, Stuart Luginbuhl; Secretary, Fred Reisinger; Treasurer, Richard Pettit. The oificers for this semester are: President, Stuart L.uginbuhl; ' ice- President, Forrest Tatlock; Secretary, Margaret Jenkinson; Treasurer, Edwin Kummer; with Miss Fairweather as Advisor. We started as a large class, but now we have just twenty-one. We are represented in athletics by ' ernon Wahle and Ralph Beebe. Our Hi-Y members are Edwin Kummer, Earl Chesney, and Stuart Luginbuhl. Our home room now is in the Library, with Mrs. Eckel in charge. Our class has material to do great things in years to come. We wish, before closing, to extend to the February and June classes of 193-, greetings and wishes for their success and happiness. — Stuart Luginbuhl. 85 Upper Junior Class THE whistle has blown and we are ready for the last quarter of an interesting game — the Upper Juniors versus Failure. The Upper Juniors are managed by that super-coach, Miss Sutor. Dorothy Trosset is captain of the team, with Harvey King assisting her. Bertha Kofmehl records all items of interest and Don Mort handles the financial problems. The team, consisting ot one hundred and eight boys and girls, flourished so well under this guidance the first half ot the season, that they re-elected them for the second. So far, the Upper Juniors have held the Failure team scoreless. They have reached each musical, dramatic, scholastic, and athletic goal for which they have striven. At the final shot of the gun, the Upper Juniors hope to have crossed every goal line, with no fouls and with highest honors tor Norwood High. — Faola Kixcaid. Lower Junior Class OVER two years have past since we marched down the aisles in the high-school auditorium to the music ot the combined Elementary School Orchestra. That was our first graduation, and we were then ready to start on our high-school career. For a time after entering high school we were just wonder-eyed treshies — the laughing stock ot the upper classmen — but now here we are well on our way to another commencement. Early in the second semester of this year we held our first class meeting supervised by Mr. Warmoth, who assisted us during the absence of Miss Sutor. The following officers were selected: President, Regina Bear; Vice-President, Jack Strout; Secretary, Mercedes Davis, and Treasurer, Jack Lyle. We are happily represented in athletic, dramatic, and musical organiza- tions. Eighty-one of us wish to pull two years more tor Norwood, and feel proud oi the tact that we are the February Class ot 1934- We wish to thank Mr. Fulks and the teachers tor their kindness in helping us to succeed in our work in the two years already spent in dear old Norwood High. — Mercedes Davis. 89 Upper Sophomore Class HERE we are, the Upper Sophomore Class, which two years ago swelled the ranks ot Norwood High School by just one hundred and sixty-four pupils. At present we are what might be called just in-between students, being neither the poor, timid, quivering treshies, nor the bold, self-confident juniors or seniors. As freshies we were afraid to enter things, but due to the kind help of the Senior Sponsors and the Faculty we gradually found our places. We are now strong in both bands and orchestras, are wel l repre- sented in track and swimming teams, and the girls are especially active in baseball, basketball, and archery. In our class work many ot our students appear on the honor roll and some come through with very high averages. We have lots ot pretty girls and many dandy-looking boys, and atter all, what more could be asked of any class? In our junior year we hope to have more representatives in organiza- tions, attain a higher standard in the school, and especially try to carry on and do as well as the preceding junior class. And in conclusion, we hope that the June and February classes will love and appreciate Norwood High School as we of the L ' pper Sophomore Class do. — Julia Tillman. 9 ' ys Lower Sophomore Class WELL — we are now the L. S. C, the lower sophomore class ot Norwood High. Out of the freshman stage at last! We worked hard last year so that we might not too long be called the awkward freshies. In those days, if we made a mistake, the upper classmen would say, Oh, it was just a freshie. We are full of pep and we early joineci the athletic organizations and musical associations and made many new friends. With the close co- operation of the teachers we landed in the position which we occupy now. We hope in the next two and one-half years to bring a share of fame to Norwood High. We will strive hard to be the February Class of 1935. W ' hen the time comes for graduation I ' m almost sure that we shall want to be freshies again. We extend our heartiest congratulations and best wishes to the Jime Class of 1932. We sincerely thank the Faculty of Norwood High tor helping us through our freshman and lower sophomore difficulties. — Mary J. Herdliska. 93 Ninth Upper Class ■X Ze, of the Ninth Upper Class, are on the threshold ot our senior high- school career. Often we look forward and wonder what the future holds in store tor us. We sincerely hope it will enable us to bring honor and glory to our school. With the help ot our teachers we are becoming more and more a part of Norwood High School every day. We are proud ot the tact that we attend one ot the best schools in the state ot Ohio. We admire our beautiful building. We appreciate our teachers, and we will tr) ' as best we can to take advantage of the opportunities which we have in such abundance. We have alread ' learned that the previous classes ot Norwood High have made worthy records and set high goals at which we, as Freshmen, may aim. We are determined to do our best to increase the fame of old Norwood. The graduating class has our heartiest congratulations. We wish for Its members success and happiness in whatever the ' may under- take in lite. -Marvbei.i.e McLain. 95 Ninth Lower Class Tn February, 19 !, one hundred and fifty or more pupils entered the Eighth Lower. To us the school was like a crossword puzzle. We were always asking the upper classmen questions, that seem to us now like the questions infants ask. Gee, they telt big, answering our little difficulties! We were always wishing we were in the ninth grade so when the little seventh- and eighth-grade children asked as questions or inquired where we were in school, could proudly sa)- we were ninth-graders. Now that we are in the ninth grade we feel as if we had just passed from kindergarten to the class above. Kind though the upper classmen try to be, we are always imagining that they are laughing at us when we write our names and rank in their presence. I guess all of them forget they were treshies once. In another year or more we hope to teel as assured as they, and we hope also to be able to do more tor our Alma Mater. — Adrienne Lingle. 97 Eighth Upper Class Tn February, 193 i, over seven hundred seventh- and eighth-grade pupils entered Norwood High from the elementary schools of Norwood. In this group were the pupils who now make up the eighth upper class. Many of the upper classmen were sorry when we entered, but we think most of them have changed their minds, since they have grown used to us. We made silly mistakes at first and they laughed at us, but it would have been just as hard for them to enter so dignified a high school when they were only seventh-grade children. Now, we are real Eighth Uppers. We have learned to know the Faculty and the school, and have made many new friends. Many of us have joined the activities and organizations of the school. Some ot the musical organizations of the eighth grade are: Girls ' Glee Club, Band, and Or- chestra. We also have many athletes in our class who belong to such activities as Girls ' Athletic Association, Archery, Swimming, and Basket- ball. Some of the other outside activities are: Girl Reserves, Camphre Girls, Hikers ' Club, Gra-Y, Bankers ' Club, and Eighth Grade Dramatics. Since we have spent more than one year at the new Junior High School, and are acquainted with the Faculty, the pupils, and the school itself, we know that it will not be as hard for us to enter into our freshman year as it was for our older brothers and sisters. — Beatrice Wiford. 99 Eighth Lower Class npHE eighth lower classes held their elections with the following results: Eighth Lower i President . ... William Beard Vice-Presidenl Jack Bauman Secretary and Treasurer Joe Briening Eighth Lower j President Harry Powell I ' ice-President Priscilla McArthur Secretary Emma Parker Treasurer Juanita Ross Eighth Lower 4 President Jimmie Van Orsdel Vice-Presidenl Betty Sheldon Secretary Virginia Todd Eighth Lower 1 President Ruth Hauck Vice-Presidenl Arthur Eppenstiner Secretary Virginia Hagmann Treasurer Clyde Hopper Treasurer Elmer Ward Our meetings were held every other Wednesday in our home rooms, and with the assistance of our teachers we have had a very happy year. On behalt of my class I wish to extend hearty congratulations to the graduating classes. — Juanita Ross. lot Seventh Upper Class T AST September one hundred and ninety-five eager boys and girls, proudly holding their heads high above the graders, became a part of Norwood High School. Although we have now decreased in numbers, we still rank second in enrollment. With the loyal help oi our Senior Sponsors we soon became well acquainted with our school. And not only bodily, but also mentally, have we contributed to Norwood High. We had eight pupils on the semester Honor Roll and fourteen who received hon- orable mention. In November we captured two out of the four prizes for having the largest percentage of pupils in the Armistice Day parade. To celebrate the one hundredth birthday of Lewis Carroll, one of the seventh upper classes gave a marionette show, Alice in Wonderland. This was presented in the Junior Assembly in April. The shops, art classes, and home economics classes contributed to the making of the marionettes. -Although as yet we have had but little time to do for our Alma Mater, we hope that some day we shall become famous so that Norwood will be proud of us. W ' e hope the next time we find ourselves pictured in The Silhouette we shall be on the threshold of our Freshman year. We have high h opes, too, that some day, in the distant future, we shall be managing The Silhouette. We want to thank the Faculty and Mr. Fulks for their generous help in making our first year a happy and profitable one. — Wynne Wolf. IC! Seventh Lower Class VXT ' e, the one hundred and thirty-five new Junior High students, feel deeply flattered in being noticed. At first, last February, we felt very small and lost. We were afraid to do anything without asking per- mission. We haven ' t been here long, but if you will give us time, I assure you we shall prove ourselves worthy of some (at least a little) praise. Many of us have already joined some of the numerous clubs. In closing, we wish to thank Mr. Fulks and the teachers for ov er- looking our many blunders and helping us get accustomed to our new surroundings. - — Muriel Powell. io ; For she is such a smart little crajt, Such a neat little, sweet little craft- Such a bright little, Tight little, Slight little, Light little, Trim little, slim little craft. Boys ' Athletic Banquet NORWOOD High ' s annual athletic banquet was held in the school lunch room on Friday night, April 29. One of the largest crowds that has ever attended was present. Mr. Fordyce, the baseball coach, was toastmaster. An excellent meal preceded the program. The activities of the alumni in athletics were discussed by William Baetz, of the University of Cincinnati. After Mr. Mason ' s speech as representative of the Board of Education, the guest of the evening, Mr. Branden Grover, of Ohio University, was introduced. A very interesting and constructive speech was made by Mr. Grover. The coaches of the various sports discussed post-season events and new schedules. Letters were awarded to the basketball and swimming men and Indian heads to the intramural champions. Excellent music was furnished by a special orchestra under the direction of Mr. Sayrs. 108 Football THE football season of ' 31 at Norwood High did not turn out as well as was hoped. Coach Colwell had only three letter men around whom to build the team, and it is always a dit icult task to get in- experienced players to work together. Norwood was handicapped at the very beginning ot the season when several of the varsity men received injuries which kept them on the bench at a time when they were most needed. But even granting all this, there was little excuse tor the Indians not winning several of the games which they lost by a touchdown margin. The summary of the games is as follows: The season began with an easy victory of 13-0 over the Terrace Park gridders. A much higher score could have been registered by the Indians, but the substitutes were given a chance in this game alter it was cinched. On September 26 Norwood met Hillsboro in a tough tussle on the latter ' s field. This game was full of bad breaks for Norwood because of injuries and through failures to score when only a few yards were needed. Final score 6-0 in Hillsboro ' s favor. Weakened by the loss of several varsity players injured in the Hills- boro game, the Indians made a brave assault in the first part of the Tiger- Indian game. Withrow was threatened very seriously several times in the first half, but came back in the second halt and changed the tune. Withrow 2;;, Norwood o. Discouraged by the defeat inflicted by the Withrow Tigers, the home eleven made a poor showing against Western Hills the next week. Every department of Norwood ' s offense failed to function, and the result was an 18-0 victory for Western Hills. For no good reason at all, the Norwood gridders lost the fourth straight game of the season to Walnut Hills. Playing listlessly, the Indians were surprised by the peppy aggressiveness of their opponents. Score 6-0. After a week ' s rest afforded by an open date, the Norwood eleven showed good form and trounced the Woodward Bulldogs 26-0. It was not until the second quarter that Norwood broke the ice, but from then on our boys increased the score to an easy victory. Then, overconfident, the Indians fell before Lockland in another in- excusable defeat of 6-0. The Indians played a good game against Hamilton, but were held back by penalties and tough breaks. Score: Hamilton 20, Norwood o. The strong Wilmington eleven invaded Norwood and took a I4-7 victory after a hard-fought battle. The home team made its best showins; of the season, but were outclassed by the undefeated gridders of Wilmington. This game ended Norwood ' s football season tor the year. 109 Cook. Tackle.

Wearers of the N Kenneth Miller — End At the beginning of the season Ken was a Hght, green, raw recruit, but he developed into a great end. His playing in the Woodward, Hamilton, and Wilmington games will long be remembered. Arthur Clark — E)id A little package of dynamite; rushing here picking up interference, and there tackling savagely. He was the smallest man on the team, but one of the toughest. His loss by graduation will be strongly felt. Sebastian Cannava — Back A never-dying spirit made this boy the good athlete he is. Being handicapped by a very painful, but not serious, injury most of the season, he would fight to stay in the game. He was a real student of football. The way he backed up the line and made his long spiral punts saved many yards for his team. Delbert Snider — Quarterback Although handicapped by lack of experience, Del showed himself a nervy quarter. He was on the sending end of most of our successful passes and his ground-gaining on a reverse to the weak side was one of the We regret very much that he spent only one year on the gridiron. John Krueck — Guard This Indian came to us from Hughes and their loss was our gain, for John gave a good account of himself in most of our contests. He is the type who likes the game, and the tougher the opposition the better he likes it. He should give a good account of himself next year. Pete Kersker — Center Pete was a student of the game, a boy who played with his head as much as with his body. He was just becoming a real star when a broken leg caused his loss for the remainder of the season. He should be one of the mainstays of the team next year. William Martin — Guard Bill was the boy who could play almost any position. One game he would play end, next in the backfield, but mostly at guard. He always gave a good account of himself at any position. But why shouldn ' t her Any boy could with his spirit and his fight. Chalres Toepker — Back Toep started the season with aspirations of being an end, but lack of backs caused his change to the backfield. He developed into our fastest III back, somewhat small, but how he could hit! On defense he was a good hard tackier and alert for passes. He is a punter with more than average ability. A real sportsman, both on and off the field. Maurice Landen — Back In the first game Maurice received a twisted knee, but even with a bad leg he was able to make many nice runs. A hard, sure tackier, alert on defense, with a fighting spirit which made him the player he was. With more experience he should develop into a real star. James Cook — Tackle The biggest man on our squad and just about the fastest. In some of the games his playing stood out like a sore thumb. Hillsboro will re- member him for a long time. The fact that he was trying hard and willing to learn more about the game made him an asset to the team. George Zorini — Tackle We know a great many ordinary players who think that they are good, but George belongs to the rare tribe of good players who think that they are ordinary. Not a sensational player, but one who was in there giving everything he had every minute he played. Charles Coughlen — Guard Chas started the season as a guard, where he gave a good account of himself. When our center met with an accident Charlie stepped into his shoes and filled them like a veteran. Breaking through the strong Wil- mington line, he blocked a punt that was converted into a touchdown. With more experience Charlie will become a real star. A team is never made by the lettermen, but by the other boys who give their all to make the team. The boys who made up the personnel of our squad were new men tor the most part, but we are fortunate in having several boys who this year missed their letter by a very small margin. Some of these boys should be the stars of our force next season. Of these, Don Rooch is the only one to be lost by graduation. Among the remaining potential stars we have Tiny Rees, a guard; Geo. Guckenberger, §_ub quarterback; Everett Flora, back; Elmer Seelmeyer, guard. Art Rummel, Al Shelton, Robert Irvin, John Bryars, E. Cahall, Earl Schroeder, Dean Service, Bob Schwartz, Marvin Backus, and R. Matthews are some of the boys who played a full se ason on the reserves and should be ready for the regulars this fall. 112 Basketball Lebanon, December 4. There. Norwood showed great promise of a successful season in the opener with Lebanon. The opponents received the short end ot a 47-17 score. Dayton Steele, December 11. Here. The Indians met the strong Steele quintet in the first home game. The Norwood basketeers completely outclassed the up-state boys with a score of 33-15. Dayton Roosevelt, December 17. There. The third straight victory was annexed from Dayton Roosevelt. The lead was never held for very long by either team. The last tew seconds were very exciting, Roosevelt missing two shots which would have tied the score. Final score, 26-24. Portsmouth, December 26. There. Norwood ' s first hardwood defeat was a heartbreaker. Playing a champion team with champion-like playing proved to be one of the hardest efforts ot the season. However, Norwood kept up with the pace, sometimes even leading. At the end of the regular period the score was tied 21-21. Li a three-minute overtime period, Portsmouth managed to sink the win- ning shot and win by two points, 23-21. Tiffin, December 29. Here. Expecting keener competition than they found, the Indian quintet smothered the Tif?in Junior Order High School. Norwood got the lead early and held it throughout the game. Score, 29-13. Wilmington, January 2. Here. .Adding the fifth victory was comparatively easy when Norwood met the Wilmington Hurricanes. The second quarter was the only time that the opponents took the honors. Score, 23-17 in Norwood ' s favor. Aurora, Indiana, January 8. There. Being too confident nearly meant a second defeat for the home cagers. Although Norwood had every advantage in height and experience, yet the small, tast Aurora boys played a very aggressive game. In the last three minutes ot play Norwood rallied and scored nine points to win, 32-30. Middletown, January 15. Here. .At the half the score was 10-7 in favor of the Middies, but with a true fighting spirit another laurel was added to Norwood ' s honors in the last few minutes to play, with a score of 23-1 . m - m Spicer.

The Norwood Redskins added another scalp to their string in an over- time game with Springfield. In a first overtime period, the Indians and the Springfield cagers both managed to add two points, which again tied the score. A second overtime period, however, gave Norwood two points for a final score of 23-21. CoviNGTON:, January :g. There. The Covington Bulldogs suffered a defeat of 34-20 at the hands of the Norwood ball-handlers. Only once, in the second quarter, did the op- ponents threaten the Indians. This was the last game for Gene Neal, Nor- wood ' s rangy guard. Hamilton, February 5. There. The local cagers beat their Hamilton High opponents in an easy game to the tune ol 25-16. The Redskins were never seriously threat- ened. Hamilton played a good defensive game, but were held to lour points in the first half, all foul shots. Georgetown, Kentucky, February 13. Here. In the eleventh engagement of the season the home basketeers trounced the Georgetown Buffaloes 46 to 22. Norwood found difficulty n hitting the hoop in the first quarter, but soon came around to norma! playing. WooDW ARD, February 19. Here. Probably the most exciting game ever played in the Norwood field house was the contest between the Bulldogs and the Indians. Norwood wa; trailing in the last quarter when several shots hit the hoop consecutiveh ' . But in attempting to get a bigger lead, the Indians gave the game away, giving Woodward a one-point victory, 30-29. This was Norwood ' s second defeat ot the season. Hughes, February 22. Here. With a marvelous comeback spirit the home team trounced one ot the best in Greater Cincinnati when they outpointed Hughes ' Big Reds 34 to 26. The Indians piled up a big lead in the first quarter, 20-4. Hughes, however, took the points in the second and third quarters. Feeling some- what endangered, the locals worketi smoothly again and strengthened their lead to win. With ROW, February 26. Here. The Tigers took a sound drubbing at the hands ot the Indians to the tune of 32-18. In the second half the Indians looped them in trom all corners ot the floor and soon gained an unrelinquished lead. II ' ; Tournament Norwood drew Elder in the first game of the tournament. Elder — U. C. Gym. The Indians drubbed their first obstacle ji-i6 in an easy game. This game gave Norwood the right to meet St. Xavier. St. Xavier — U. C. Gym. Xavier played a fine brand of ball against Norwood, but finally suc- cumbed. The Indians trailed the Bluejackets for three quarters of the contest, but in the last quarter managed to take the game, i8 to I4. Greenville — Dayton. Norwood fought their way to the semi-finals at Dayton when they defeated Greenville 25-11. The home cagers played one of their best games, clicking in clockwork style. Hamilton — Dayton. But the Hamilton cagers, continuing their great tournament playing, defeated the Indian quintet in the second game ot the Dayton tournament. The game was Hamilton ' s all the way, except tor an early lead taken by the Redskins in the first quarter. Norwood was the last Greater-Cin- cinnati Class A team to be defeated at Dayton. The final score was 18 to 32. iji Norwood High has just finished one of the most successful basketball seasons in its history. A great deal of this success is due to Mr. Miller in his outstanding coaching, as well as to the loyalty and hard work of the players themselves. May the team next year be equally successful! 116 Athletic Awards Sebastian Cannava Arthur Clark James Cook Cha FOOTBALL, 1931 Letters ■les Couglilen Maurice Landen Pete Kersker Fohn Kriieck Everett Flora Erwin Mason Richard Dolf George Foster Walter Hunter Russell Haves Sebastian Cannava WeUion Doughman Marvin Gottesman, Muimxer Dudle) ' Mason, Miinager Pete Kersker, Mtiiia er Milton Brooks Georsie Guckenhcrsicr Richard Revnolds William Martin Kenneth Miller Reserves Fred Reis Elmer Seelmeyer Numerals Edward Krueck Arthur Seaman Stewart Hartman Dean Service Edgar Ray Marvin Backus Robert Morgan Robert Irvin Everett Cahall Ed Bauer BASKETBALL, 1931-32 Letters Gene Neal Sam Hern William Hendricks Roger Sharman Numerals Jake Spicer Bill Chester Edwin Jucker Ralph Jones George Guckenberger Roy Hern Don Mort Joseph Bethel Delbert Snider Charles Toepker George Zorini Donald Rooch Leroy Ferguson Earl Schroeder Angelo Carelli William Oeh Fred Mathews Eugene Morris TRACK, 1931 Henry Spicer Melvin Koch Marvm Backus Bob Schwallie Ralph Cahill Walter Rummell Everett Flora George Longman, Manager Howard Conavvay, one bar Jack Seibert Richard Allen Paul Mathews Everett Flora David Birrel Letters Robert Hausser James Kimpel,one bar Weldon Doughman Kenneth Miller Charles Toepker Reserve Bill Baxter Numerals Russell Pendery Roger Williams Creed Penick Lowell Busier i ' Vank Genet James Cook Albert Cohen Bill Ryan Herbert Hunt Warren Hensel Ralph Hagmann Maurice Landen arren Lap p Roy Beniamin Arthur Seaman Willard Gorsuch Arthur Leininger Frank Linden David McNeil Kenneth Hohnhorst Bob Richter George Zorini Earl Chesnev SWIMMING, 1931-32 Letters Bob Henke Bill Ferguson Pete Tatlock Numerals Robert Sparks Ardath Burk Albert Engelhardt Jim Sawyer Jim Strong Jack Yauck Donald Finke Bill Lindemann David Moore BASEBALL, 1931 Letters Clark Ballard, one bar Charles Medert Roger Sharman, one bar ' ernon Wahle Robert Gaible Bill Pape Ralph Schwein Horace Weak Carl Korengle, one bar Tom Quigley,one bar Henry Spicer Wesley Wyatt, two bars Reserves Alvin Graessle William Haller Numerals Marvin Backus Robert Dillinder William Oeh Harold Turner Hallice Williamson 117 Swimming NORWOOD High ' s swimming team participated in four main meets this last season. Two of these were at the Central Y. M. C. A., where the Indian plungers tailed to place, but gained valuable experience. Later on in the season the Purcell tanksters splashed their way to a ;6 to 38 victory over Norwood ' s swimming team in a meet held in the Xorwood pool. Purcell received six firsts to Norwood ' s two. The fourth meet was held with St. Xavier at the New Friars ' Club; here also Norwood failed to place. Lettermen in swimming this } ' ear are: Bob Henke, Bill Ferguson, and Pete Tatlock. Basketball and Volley Ball Champions For the first time, Mr. Colwell, the physical education director, started an intramural volley-ball league. This proved to be almost as popular as the intramural basketball leagues. The teams can be seen on the op- posite page. Penick ' s team won the volley-ball championship, and Beebe ' s team were victors in the senior basketball league. Golf Norwood ' s golf team, under Mr. Colwell, was composed of Frank Gaible, Henry Spicer, George Guckenberger, and Jack Yauch. In the first match with Purcell, Norwood lost 8-4. The schedule for remainder of season is: May 2 — Highlands; May 14 — Western Hills; May 19 — Roger Bacon. Cross Country Team .Norwood ' s Cross Country Team did better this year than usual. It participated in tour meets, taking one second place, one tourth place, and a tie tor fifth place in the last meet. The following boys made up the squad: Robert Hausser, Bill Haller, Frank Genet, Roy Benjamin, Jack Ryan, Robert Calvin, Weldon Doughman, Carl Becker, and Ralph Hagmann. 119 Baseball THE IxDiAXs opened their iqj2 baseball season with a 6-to-6 victory over the Hughes ' Big Reds at Tatt Field. The first inning was Norwood ' s best, giving her five runs. The score was never threatened by Hughes, though the latter is supposed to be one of the best teams in Cincinnati. Graessle pitched fine ball throughout the game. Score: Norwood: I o o 4 o 5 o 6 I 7 o 8 o 9 c 6 Hughes: o o o I o o o o —,3 The Norwood nine took over the Withrow Tigers in fine style with the score of 7-5. Withrow was leading 5-4 up to the eighth inning when the Indians piled up three runs to win the game. The Indians ' third game was also a victory with an 8-2 score over Lockland. The first run for Norwood was secured in the third inning, followed by three more in the fourth. The other tour runs were made in the eighth inning, the last for Norwood at bat. The Woodward game was one of the tightest games of the season, the score being tied i-i at the end of nine innings. Extra innings were played with no scoring by either team until the thirteenth inning, in which Wood- ward got a run on a Norwood error, and won the game 2-1. The second game with Hughes proved to be very different from the first with the Big Reds. Scoring wildly in the last tew innings, they man- aged to finish with a ii-i lead over the Indians in the last inning. This seemed to be just an otf- ' -day with Norwood, and Coach Fordyce ' s confidence in the team was by no means shattered. The schedule tor the remainder of the season is: May 6 — Withrow (there) May 13 — Western Hills May 20 — Woodward The squad this vear was composed of the following bovs: C. Bear, E. Bauer, R. Beebe, M. Brooks, R. Dolf, E. Flora, W. Rummel, V. Wahle, R. Winkelman, A. Graessle, W. Haller, W. Martin, C. Medert, E. Morris, W. Oeh, R. Sharman, and H. Williamson. 121 Track NORWOOD High opened its track season on March 12 by participating in the annual sectional track meet held at Xavier Field House. Approximately twenty teams were entered i n the meet. Norwood took seventh place in the senior meet and fourth in the junior meet, with six points and five points respectively. Norwood men who placed are as follows: Hausser — mile run, first; time: 4: ' 6 Cook — shot-put, fifth; distance: 38 5 2 ' Junior section: Zorini — shot-put, second; distance: 47 ' 9 Zorini — o-yard low hurdles, fourth Hausser set a record tor the mile run tor Xavier Field House in this meet.

Girls eligible to membership are obligated to keep a health chart. Plans for the year are made by an Executive Board, consisting of the Dean of Girls, Girls ' Athletic Directors, and representatives ot the differ- ent sports, elected by members of the association. The Executive Board has six senior and three junior members: 1931-32 Representing 1932 33 Thelma Allison irchery Helen Bradley Betty Zimmerman Baseball Mary Kelly Virginia Busam Basketball Virginia Busam Barbara Klar Centerball Betty Oberhelman Ruth Thayer Healthy Senior Edna Boehringer Ruth Lindeman Healthy Junior Ruth Lindeman Virginia Burnett Hiking, Senior Bertha Kotmehl Harriet Jacobs Hiking, Junior Marv Johnston Bernice Pickelheimer Swimming Florence Heitman Miss Kehm Dean of Girls Mrs. Eckel Faculty Director Miss Landwehr Faculty Director The Executive Board scheduled many activities during the year. Officers of the board were: President, Bernice Pickelheimer; Secretary, Virginia Busam; and Treasurer, Betty Zimmerman. Play Day was held on November 7, 1931. Girls from neighbor- ing schools were invited to participate in a day of play, games, and relays. After lunching in the field house, the girls enjoyed an entertainment in the auditorium. A posture parade, sponsored by the Health Club, was held on March 18, 1932. Bertha Kotmehl, Bernice Pickelheimer, and Virginia Busam were awarded first, second, and third places, respectively, of the thirty- eight girls tagged by teachers and girls for good posture. Judges tor the event were Mrs. Eckel, Miss Landwehr, and Mr. Colwell. For the first time in the history of Norwood High School, girls acted as cheer leaders at football and basketball games. They were Mrginia Baurittel, Edna Boehringer, Virginia Busam, Virginia Joos, and Bertha Kofmehl. Candy and popcorn were sold by the board to the teachers and to the public alter basketball games to raise funds in preparation for the Girls ' .Athletic Banquet, held on April 8, 1932, in the high-school lunch room. The loyal work and planning of the Executive Board and committees, the delicious food served by Mrs. Small and some of the mothers, the excellent service of the Hi-Y boys as waiters, the fine speeches of several of the girls, the presentation of emblems, the announcement of the results of the elertion, the novel songs and stunts, the co-operation of those at- tending — all these were responsible tor a brilliant close of a successful year of the Girls ' Athletic .Association. — Elva Corell. Girls ' Baseball C VERY year baseball is becoming a more essential sport in the Girls ' Athletic Association. The baseball season usually begins about the first week in April and ends with the tournament during the last part of May. Last year sixty girls from the ninth and tenth grades, and thirty in the eleventh and twelfth grades, were enrolled, making a total enrollment of ninety girls for the 1931 season. From this number, six ninth grade and three eleventh and twelfth grade teams were organized. Baseball had not then been organized in the Junior section. This year four days a week on the Athletic Calendar were devoted to baseball for the various groups. On Monday the seventh grade girls practiced; Tuesday was the assigned day for the eighth graders; Wednesday the ninth and tenth grades played, and Tuesday was reserved for eleventh and twelfth grades. The baseball tournament is conducted on the elimination plan. As soon as a team loses one game it is out of the tournament. The players on the last two teams are designated as winners and runners-up. The winners are given thirty-five points toward their emblems, and the run- ners-up receive twenty-five points. Emblems are awarded to girls having one hundred points or more. — Betty Zimmerman, Manager. Girls ' Basketball NE HUNDRED AND THIRTY girls took part in the basketball activities this year, and thirty-six were awarded emblems. Two tournaments were conducted in which every girl took part. There were ten teams in the ninth- and tenth-grade group, and seven in the eleventh and twelfth section. The captains in the first group were: Louise Burns, Virginia Lindauer, Catherine Kretten, Ruth Siereveld, Alice Mehne, Grace Bar- mann, Martha Pettit, Doris Hurst, Margaret Cleaver, and Evelyn Hill. The senior captains were: Beverly Fox, Lillian Hoy, Gladys Steiner, Ann Mullen, Doris Seekatz, Anne Smith, and Florence Heitman. The champion team in the senior group was captained by Beverly Fox. The other members of her team were: Dot Sippel, Bernice Sleight, Virginia Geglein, Helen Buns, Vera Vaughan, and Mary Hanna. In the junior group, Evelyn Hill ' s team won; the players were: Doris Gooding, Mona Sacca, Helen Thielen, Jeanette Grischy, and Pauline Dennis. Sixteen girls acted as officials and directed all the basketball activities. They were: Florence Heitman, Ann Seidel, Lillian Hoy, Helen Bradley, Ruth Meyer, Gladys Steiner, Doris Seekatz, Elva Corell, Dot Christy, 125 :)-- Betty Thornton, Bernice Pickelheimer, Ann Farber, Viola Biehl, Louise Burns, Martha Rose Evans, and Virginia Busam. The basketball club conducted an exhibition game, which was played between the eleventh- and twelfth-grade girls on Open-House Night, February 8. The eleventh-grade girls were the victors. — Virginia Busam. Swimming Progress this year? Just watch the girls swim! More girls have per- fected their strokes, more have learned to swim and to dive than in any previous year. Miss Landwehr ' s hard work and contagious enthusiasm have interested many new girls. Among the activities carried on in swimming class are meets, endurance swims, and life saving. The endurance swim is held in the fall, life saving in early spring, one meet in the fall and one in the late spring. In the first meet all competition was interclass — the jolly, active, and sure-to-win juniors came out ahead, with the seniors close behind them. About thirty girls were in the endurance swim, led by Doris Seekatz, with 515 lengths; Kathleen Carter, with 503; and Mary Johnston, with 501 lengths. There was such an exceptionally large life-saving class that they had to be divided into Monday and Wednesday groups. Twenty-three girls came down faithfully every Monday, and even though it was hard work they enjoyed it and had fun. — Bernice Pickelheimer. Centerball enterball is a game played and enjoyed by the seventh- and eight- grade girls. The eighth-grade centerball teams ended the season with league games. Marjorie Heitman ' s team were winners, and this team will receive thirty- five points toward their centerball emblem. Edwina Hill ' s team were runners-up and they will receive twenty-five points toward their emblem. The seventh-grade girls choose teams frofti their home rooms and compete with other rooms. Fifteen points were awarded for perfect attendance for both the seventh and eighth grades. Ten points Svere given for every game in which a member participated. The girls who officiated were Helen Bradley and Barbara Klar, who will receive points toward their all-around A . — Barbara Klar, Centerball Manager. 128 Health Club npHE Health Club of Norwood High is divided into two sections, the Junior and the Senior Health Clubs, both keeping a daily record of their health habits. Members of the Health Club may participate in the activities sponsored by the Girls ' Athletic Association. The health charts issued by the Health Club consist of ten rules for general health and hygiene. They are graded monthly and points are given for a perfect record in seven or more items. The points are cumulative and a Health Club emblem is awarded for one hundred points. — Ruth Lindeman, Junior Health Club Representative. Ruth Thayer, Senior Health Club Representati ' ce. Archery Whizzy! I shot an arrow into the air, It tell to earth, I knew not where. ' TpHis June marks the close ot the second year ot one of our favorite sports. Though archery is comparatively new to the girls of Norwood High School, the use of the bow and arrow has proved popular and fas- cinating. Six groups ot enthusiastic shooters have been practicing out of doors, accumulating points for their emblems. Kitteen points may be given for attendance, and eighty-tive points tor scoring. 1 he first awards will be made this year. Skill in archery requires time and practice, and those girls who are consistent in attendance and shooting are distinctive modern Robin Hoods. Next year we intend to organize teams and hold tournaments regularly. — Thelma Allison. Hiking V 7 ' iTH favorable weather and with younger enthusiasm steadily growing, the Hikers ' Club enjoyed many successful hikes throughout the tall and spring. In the tall we followed a program of short Saturday afternoon hikes. Some of these parties were composed of Ju«ior section girls under the leadership of a Senior girl, and some of them were combined Junior and Senior section hikes. By spring the girls had become seasoned hikers and longer trips were planned. Larger groups participated and it was necessary to divide the girls into small groups with individual leaders, the groups meeting at specific places for lunch or supper. Through these hikes the girls were brought into closer contact with one another, thus accomplishing the real purpose of the Hikers ' Club. — Harriet Jacobs. 130 i «  S 911 f l«i ' gftf J ' ft S ' i- Ljl ' Ei KtH - HB f • t f f • t H «9f «, SsL % i ' k mSIL ufjfi T MM rvl 1 1 Jr Girls ' Athletic Awards 1931-32 Health Chart Emblems Ida Mae Baldwin Emily Behrman ' iola Biehl Edna Boehringer Dorothy Burns ' irginia Busam Helen Buns Dorothy Christy Elva Corell Vera Davidson Pauline Dennis Clara Dieckman Mary Downing Lucille Ebinger Martha Rose Evans Edith Gabe Nona George Grace Hock Dorothy Hoffman Marjorie Ittel ' irginia Joos Mary Lisk Bertha Kofmehl Alice Mehne Martha Petit Bernice Pickleheimer Doris Seekatz Gladys Steiner ' irginia Stohlman Ann Seidel Anne Smith Ruth Siervald Ruth Thaver Virginia Wade Elizabeth Veber Freida Aerni Alethea Anderson Florence Richter 1931-32 Basketball Emblems Elizabeth Dickman Evelyn Hill Pauline Dennis Catherine Kretten Mary Jane Douglas Natalie Lyghtel Jeannette Grischy Mona Sacca Doris Gooding Helen Theilen Dorothy Winstel Ann Farber Alethea Anderson Virginia Baurittel ' irginia Busam Edna Boehringer Helen Buns Beverly Fox Nona George ilma Haug Florence Heitman Ruth Meyer Mary Hanna Virginia Joos Bertha Kotmehl Bernice Pickelheimer Bernice Sleight Gladys Steiner ' irginia Stohlman Betty Thornton ' era ' aughan Elizabeth Weber Virginia Yeager Doris Seekatz Mary Kelly Lillian Hoy Honorable Mention (Having won emblems last year) ' iola Biehl Louise Burns Martha Rose Evans Dorothy Christy Marjorie Ittel Edith Gabe Merle Hill ' irginia Schnell Anne Smith Dorothy Sippel Dorothy Stonebraker Lois ' aughn Alma Hopper Ann Seidel Elva Corell Mary Downing 1931-32 Archery Helen Bradlev Fof always roaming with a hun- gry heart, much have I seen and know7u The Mirror As IS the custom, the two journaHsm classes ot the year pubhshed r The Mirror, the weekly news sheet ot Norwood High.

In the three years ot its existence it has rendered many services to the school. This year, as is the custom of the club, a tree was decorated and placed in the front hall of the school the Monday before Christmas, remaining there throughout the pre-holiday week. The Six Foot Club sold pop at all the home basketball games. The profits the night of the Charity Game were turned over to the General Unemployment Fund. The officers for the year were: President Herbert Hunt Vice-President Sam Hern Secretary-Treasurer Alvin Graessle Faculty Advisor Mr. Warmoth — Herbert Hunt. 138 The Mathematics Club T ARLY in October the first meeting ot the year ot the Senior Mathematics Club was called by the advisor, Mr. Warmoth. After considering the question at several sessions, it was decided to open the membership to all boys in the Senior High School interested in mathematics. A difficult matter arose when nominations for offices were opened. This was due to the ineligibility of so many of the members, each holding either a major or minor office in some other school organization. Near the end of November, an election ot officers for the entire year was held. Those elected were: Press Jem Charles Johnson lice-President Paul Hegenbarth Secretary Earl Conover Treasurer James Strong Each meeting consisted ot a regular business routine, followed by a program ot mathematical problems and discussions. The major project of the year, however, was the building of an eight-foot slide rule. The efficiency ol this rule was ably demonstrated in an auditorium session. It is hoped that through this organization a new and greater interest in mathematics may be aroused in the school. — Warrkn Lapp. i,i9 Hygr ' ' To find and g ' r:e the best. npHE Girl Reserve movement ot America, sponsored by the Y. W. C. A., celebrated its Golden Anniversary the first week of November, 1931. Hygr, as the combined group in Norwood High is called, took part in the nation-wide jubilee by having, that week, a recognition service, an audi- torium session at school, an anniversary pageant, including a program and party for all Girl Reserves and their friends, and special activities in the various clubs. The first event of the year was a get-together party tor all Freshmen and new girls in the Field House. This was in charge of Hygr cabinet, including Jane JMc.Arthur, President; Jane Fordyce, Mce-President; Ann Seidel, Secretary; Virginia Breen, Treasurer; Florence Heitman, Service Chairman; Bertha Kotmehl, Social Chairman; Ruth Knight, Program Chairman. Hygr co-operated with the Hi-Y in giving a Gridiron Ball at the close of the football season. Continuing an established custom, the Girl Reserves and the Hi-Y went carolling at Christmas. Afterwards, Ruth Knight entertained the carollers with a party at her home. During the holidays the girls enter- tained their mothers with a party at the Y. In January the Juniors and Seniors of Hvgr and the Hi-Y enjoved a partv given bv both clubs at the Y. V. C. A. This year, instead of one meeting a month, there were two, one a regu- lar business meeting, and the other a ring forum. A supper meeting at the Y was the social gathering of March. .At this time Miss Ruby Hirose spoke on Japanese Customs and Costumes. To earn money to send delegates to conference at Camp Gray, Michi- gan, a skating party, a bakery sale, and a bridge party were giv ' en. In May, at the Mother-Daughter Banquet, were held recognition and installation services, and the awarding of rings. The entire club sincerely thanks Miss Jeffrey, Y Secretar) and Hygr advisor, for her splendid leadership, and Miss Rogatsk -, Miss Kehm, and Mr. Fulks, who all helped them in many ways. — Jane McArthlr. 141 The Hi-Y CLEAN ATHLETICS CLEAN SPEECH CLEAN SCHOLARSHIP CLEAN LI TNG OFFICERS SENIOR DIVISION 1931-32 FiRST Semester Second Semester President William Hendricks President William Hendricks Vice-President Richard Shick I ' ice-President Arthur Wuest Secretary Robert Hausser Secretary Robert Hausser Treasurer Charles Medert Treasurer Charles Medert JUNIOR DIVISION, 1931-32 President Maurice Landen Secretary Charles Toepker THE Hi-Y Club of Norwood consists of Junior and Senior boys who have assumed the pledge, To create, maintain, and extend through- out the school and community high standards ot Christian character. The Senior boys held their meetings under the guidance of Mr. Dunn, while Mr. Pettit supervised the Junior boys ' group. The discussions and con- ferences have proven themselves invaluable to those boys taking part. The Club enjoyed a prosperous financial year, averaging in the treasury about one hundred dollars, most ot which was obtained through selling refreshments at the football games. -At several football and basketball games the Hi-Y furnished programs and team line-ups. The Club was represented in the Hamilton County Hi-Y Council, which held monthly meetings during the school year. At the older boys ' conference, held at Dayton in the Thanksgiving holidays, William Hen- dricks, Creed Penick, Ralph Hoffman, Earl Chesney, Charles Coughlen, and Arthur Wuest represented our chapter. Guest speakers on the year ' s program included: Mr. Colwell, football coach; Dr. Rohdenburg; Dr. Paterson, pastor of the Norwood Presbyterian Church; Mr. Lee, boys ' work secretary of the Central Y. M. C. A., and Mr. Cecil Gamble, Y. M. C. A. leader. Their topics were based upon the Hi-Y ideals. The Club took charge of the October I4 auditorium assembly. Richard Bauer, graduate of June, ' ji, was the speaker, and William Hendricks, Hi-Y president, the chairman. On Sunday evening, November 29, the Hi-Y conducted the worship at the First Methodist Church. Richard Bauer again spoke and William Hendricks presided. On February 14, the Club conducted a similar program at the Norwood Presbyterian Church. Mr. Charles P. Taft, II, of Cincinnati, delivered an address, with Robert Hausser presiding. The Hi-Y conducted two dances, a fall hop on November 21 at the high-school gym, and the annual private dance on April 2 at the Norwood Federation Club House.

The officers elected for the year were Maurice Landen, President, and Charles Toepker, Secretary. The meetings of the Club are separate from those of the Alpha Chapter, with the exception of two a month. Dances, dinners, socials, committees, and conferences are all held in conjunction with the Seniors. It will be the practice in the future for the Beta Chapter ot the Hi-Y to elect a full list of officers instead of simply a president and a secretary. — Charles Toepker.

Weaving yarn purses and molding pottery were the two projects undertaken this year. The officers tor the year were: President , . Esther Momberg Vice-Pres ident Charlotte Byrket Secretary Elva Corell Treasurer Lillian Hoy The project of the first semester, that of weaving purses and handbags of woolen yarn, was a great success. When the purses were completed, they were displayed for several days in a show case in the front hall. The second semester was spent in developing an entirely new and interesting skill, that of molding pottery with coils. The work was done in the Boys ' Industrial Arts Laboratory and the clay was fired in the school kiln. The vases were then glazed the color desired. We owe much of our success to Mrs. Amy Chambers and Miss Ruth Todd, our Faculty Advisors, and we sincerely thank them for their efforts during the past year. — Elva Corell. ' 47 The Thrift Club THE Thrift Club (formerly called the Bankers ' Club), under the careful supervision ot our advisor, Miss Beavers, has certainly served its purpose this year. The membership consists of a banker and an assistant banker from each home room. The name of the organization was changed to the Thrift Club because the outstanding object of the club is to broaden the idea of thrift, so that it may include thrift of time, materials, and energy, and not merely the saving of money. Each month a lesson on thrift has been presented to the pupils by home-room bankers. This program has induced the pupils to become more interested in saving their money than in former years. Our banking record this year has averaged 99 per cent of our attendance; which makes us proud, for we can compete with any school in this country in banking. The officers for the past year were: First Semester Second Semester Ruth B achman President Charles Kelly Fred Rahe Vice-President Julia Tillman Mary Frances Brown Secretary Bobbie Prather Albert Ackerman Treasurer Howard Evans Jeannette ' an Osdol Miiror Reporter Kenneth Meek We owe a great deal to Virginia Hagedorn and Martha Culbertson for the efficient manner in which they handled the computing of the weekly averages ot the school. • — Bobbie Prather, ' jj. ' ' - 149 The Photo Club npHE Photo Club was organized in September, 1930, and has progressed rapidly. Our newest piece of equipment is an enlarger, which cost approximately $30. From our work in developing and printing students ' pictures we were able to make enough money to pay tor it in a short while. Club meetings are held once a month and in these meetings certain students talk on different ways of furthering our knowledge of photography, both in the dark room and in the taking of pictures on the outside. Our work has reached a mark of very high efficiency due to the work of our twenty active members. The officers for the first semester were: ' President, John Schatz; Vice-President, Robert Fisher; Secretary-Treasurer, Robert Biles. For the past semester they were: President, David Moore; Vice- President, Paul Matthews; Secretary-Treasurer, Robert Biles. Our advisor is Mr. Lepley. — Robert Richter. 150 Autograph Good company in a journey makes the way seem the shorter. The Orchestra THE Norwood High School Orchestra has completed another season ot service to both the school and community. Din-ing the past year, under Mr. Sayrs ' able direction, the organization has progressed in artistry, pla ' ing the more difficult compositions ot well- known composers. It has gained recogniti(jn throughout the commimit) ' for number and variety ot instruments played, tor willingness ot its members to give ot their best, and tor the ability ot the entire organization. The officers elected for the first semester of the year i9Ji-;;2 were: President, Charlotte Axenroth; Vice-President, Margaret Marshall; Secre- tary, Earl Conover; Treasurer, Dorothy Kiefel; Librarian, Donald Dods- worth. The officers elected tor the second semester were: President, James Strong; Vice-President, Earl Eakins; Secretary-Treasurer, Donald Dods- worth; Librarian, Earl Steinkamp. This organization was very active in igj;!- , playing tor Parent- Teachers Association meetings, commencement exercises, school presenta- tions, auditoriimi sessions, and on various other occasions. Mien necessit) ' demanded, a special tifteen-piece orchestra was used. As places were vacated by graduates, or as additional players were needed, members ot the B orchestra were promoted to the A. Surely this organization has proved itself worthy and appreciati ' e of the encour- agement and interest taken in it by the community, the student bod ' , antl the school authorities. — Warren Lapp. I; Personnel of the Combined Orchestras First J ' iolin Eileen Sayrs Roderick Stewart Irwin Haley George Ritter Robert Fox Vernon Fryburger Louise Hohlt Margaret Schlueter Earl Steinkamp Mary Moorehead Margaret Bischoff Evelyn Wiford Marguerite Miller James Myrick Louis Suppe Second Violin Ardath Burks Ann Seidel Helen Kellerman Rosemary Roeder Catherine Heinrich Cora Kohlman Betty Breens John Kofmehl Cello Charles Coughlen Viola Robert Henke Piano Helen Schmidt Margaret Marshall Ruth Bachmann Grace Coldewev Clarinet Earl Eakins Richard Shick Donald Dodsworth Walter Wurster Charlotte Axenroth Florence Richter Howard Mathes William Fahrenbusch Erwin Mason James Mueller Natalie Lyghtel Grace Hock Flute Esther Momberg Flora Jones Julia Tillman Helen Bacon Ernest Suppe J.

A football game does not seem complete without our Band fighting our team across the field, while the basketball squad drives harder at the sound of the music. Then, too, from the rooter ' s viewpoint, a game has lost much ol its color without the Band playing the school song at a critical moment and entertaining the spectators during the intermissions. Several times in the past year the musicians, under the direction ot our earnest leader, Mr. Sayrs, have appeared before auditorium assemblies and pep meetings in the field house. Leading the Norwood .Armistice Day parade down Main Avenue, playing at the Rotary Boys ' Hobby Fair and the Kiwanis Boy Scout Merit Badge Exposition, and representing Norwood High in other civic events have all been successfully fulfilled by the pride of the school. Much credit is due Mr. Sayrs and Mr. Fulks, whose patient efforts and unflagging interest have not passed unnoticed by the members. Early in the school year Arthur Clark was elected President ot the Band for the first semester, with Richard Shick, ' ice-President; Earl Conover, Secretary; Irwin Haley, Treasurer; and Robert Miller, Librarian. In January, Ted Kersker completed his third year as drum major. For the second semester, the following officers were elected: .Arthur Clark, President; Earl Eakins, Vice-President; Earl Conover, Secretary; Irwin Haley, Treasurer, and Robert Miller, Librarian. Because of the large enrollment, the Band continued to function as two organizations, the A and B groups. The more experienced players practiced in the .A group, while the beginners and lower-grade members played in the B division. Mr. Sayrs instructed both units. Many ot the more experienced players, having started tour years ago in a small group under Mr. August H. Schaefer, will leave upon graduating. However, sorry as the remaining players are to see them go, all are happy to note that promising musicians trom the lower grades are ready to fill their positions. The roster at present numbers over a hundred members — a unit which many declare to be the largest high-school band in Ohio. By weekly practice throughout the school year and vacation, the members have striven hard in an effort to make the Norwood High School Band the best in Ohio. — RoBF.Ri Halsser. 157 Clarinets Earl Eakins James Mueller Charles Coughlen Don Dodsworth Richard Shick Walter Wurster Charlotte Axenroth Pearl Hirsh Ann Seidel David McNeil Helen Elstun Emaline Hall Grace Hock Florence Richter [ ' lorence Heitman Louise Adelle Hohlt William Henke Howard Mathes Warren Hensel Robert Miller Ruth Schier Richard Hartlieb Natalie Lyghtel William Fahrenbruck Jeannette Grischy Nellie Sarles Robert Thompson Adelaide Schweinfurth Irwin Mason Charles Kelly Trumpets Warren Lapp Charles Johnson Robert Hausser Charles Medert I owell Busier Marian Floyd John Myers John Sarles Dudley Mason George Bradley Delbert Snider Dorothy Burris Kuertz Stavman Richard Baylis Robert Oberhelnian Howard Cioodrich Carleton Patrick John Jackson Band Membership COMBINED GROUPS Gail Wilks Joe Rice Lloyd Stiess Lenora Welage Dorothy Stoneliraker Weldon Doughnian Martha Pettit ALiry Burkhani Ralph Mignery Raymonil Wolf Howard Ell Horns James Strong Irwin Haley Earl Conover Edna Elstun Theresa Kamphaus Corlie Jackson Arthur Seaman George Ritter Martha Evans Alberta Sitzman Rosalind McNeil Fred Nippert Jack Busani Mary Herdliska lillSSOOJI Louis Suppe Saxophones Ruth Bachnian Albert Rinckenberger Ida Mae Baldwin ' Marv Downing Arthur Clark ' Earl Cahill Robert Miller Betty Decker Lucy Kelly Howarti Busch Ray Walther Roy Haetner Kenneth Meek Jack Henn Irvin Wittikind Norwood Trout Charles Wilhelm Baritones Robert Henke Vernon Fryburger Robert I ' Vanken burger Margaret Bischoff Trombones Vernon Wahle Ralph Rinckenberger Robert Richter Clarence Benney Marian Booth Dorothy Schlueter Wihna Haug Ardath Burks Samuel Paterson Carl Wolf Robert Fox Stanley Smith Basses George Connor Joe Dunker Louis Suppe Jack Strout Earl Steinkamp Paul Matthews Drums Al Haustetter Howard Earlywine Albert Ackermann Eileen Sayrs Betty Schwallie Ben Burns Harriet Jacobs Russell Hayes Chester Wahle Howard Evans Rosjer Winkelman Pieeo os and Flutes Esther Momberg Katherine Fisher Helen Bacon Julia Tillman F lora Jones Jeannette Stratemeyer John Wolf Ernest Suppe Jeannette Hern Dorothy Kietel Mariiaret Henke 159 The Opera Club THE Opera Club consists of boys from the entire high school and girls from the Junior and Senior classes. At the opening of school last September the Club got promptly to work on the operetta, In Old Vienna, otherwise called Pickles. On April i, 193-, this operetta was presented in the school auditorium, winning much favorable comment. Much praise, with the gratitude of the cast, is due to the capable guidance of Miss Kehm, dramatic director, and Mr. Sayrs, musical director. Success of the organization was guaranteed by the efficient manner in which the following officers filled their positions: First Semester PresitJent Howard Mathes Vice-Presiiienl Dorothy Watson Secretary Dorothy Kiefel Treasurer Dorothy Sippel Second Semester President Ruth Bachman I ' ice-PresidenI Ruth Knight Secretary Florence Richter Treasurer Stanlev Stall CAST OF CHARACTERS Hans Maier Dati Huzzins Louisa Edna Boe iringer Captain Kinski Mekin Koc i Bumski Marcus Kondritzer Rumski Charles Jl ' ilhelm J.

The feature of the performance was a New York night-club scene, with Ardath Burks as master of ceremonies. ' ernon AVahle and his Musical Dons furnished music for both the solos and the dances. The soloists in the cabaret scene were Ida Mae Baldwin, Ruth Bachmann, and Walter Wurster. The dancers were Helen Bock, Jerry Jacobs, Jane Parker, Betty Lou Stewart, Majorie McGee, Regina Bear, Dorothy Trosset, Ruth Oberhelman, and Ted Kersker. Donald Dodsworth exhibited black magic, assisted by Virginia Baurittel and Lowell Busier. During the intermission Dorothy Kiefel, accompanied by Lenore Welage, entertained with two xylophone solos, and Ernest Suppe and Robert Schwartz with piano-accordion duets: Ted Dorl delivered his unforgettable sermon at this time. Vernon Wahle and Ardath Burks again appeared as enci men, while Howard Earlywine, Art Clark, Al Rinckenberger, Dudley Mason, and Ted Dorl made their debuts as Norwood High comedians. Solos were given by the end men and by members of the chorus. By the co-operation of the pupils and with the in aluable help of Mr. Evans, Mr. Wahle, Mr. Sayrs, and Mr. Fulks, the Red-and-Blue Minstrels of 193 1 surpassed all aspirations. — Alfred Haustetter. - 163 Glee Club THE Girls ' Glee Club was formed to interest freshmen and sophomore girls in three-part singing. It is under the supervision of Mr. Sayrs, and meets every Thursday afternoon in the music room. The total enrollment is now ninety-six, and the majority of the girls attend every week. The present officers are: Mary Jane Douglas, president; Lois Mc- Donald, Vice-President; Carol Snedden, Secretary-Treasurer; Lillian Conover, Librarian; Louise Adell Hohlt. The club prepared a Washington Cantata in honor ot the bi- centennial celebration of George Washington.

It was organized in September, 1930; is composed ot approximately seventy-five students who are really interested in perfecting their knowledge of music, and it meets every Monday, fourth bell, in the music room. The Choral Club and the Band, using the talent in both organizations, staged another Minstrel Show, which proved very successful. The club was also privileged to render the musical selections at the Baccalaureate Service of the February Class, and has also sung in numerous auditorium sessions. The officers for the first term were: Ernest Suppe, President; Mary Downing, ' ice-President; Eileen Sayrs, Secretary-Treasurer, and Joe Dunker, Librarian. The officers for the second semester were: Helen Bock, President; Julia Tillman, Vice-President; Charles Medert, Secretary- Treasurer, and Vernon Wahle, Librarian. The Choral Club wishes to express its sincere appreciation to Mr. Fulks, Mr. Sayrs, and to all others who were instrumental in making this organization possible. — Ruth Bachmaxn.

Mask and Scroll THE Mask, and Scroll is a dramatic organization, for many years under the expert direction of Miss Jacob, and composed of Juniors and Seniors. The purpose of the club is to study dramatic form and structure from many different angles, and it is our custom to provide enter- tainment tor the school at Christmas time, and also to give a play for the Parent-Teachers ' Association once a year. The only play given this year was Hyacinths at Christmas, which was presented as part of the annual Christmas program. We regret, indeed, that due to the death ot our beloved directress we were unable to carry out plans to give a second play, though we had expected to do so at the April meeting of the Parent-Teachers ' Association. Again we wish to express our great sense ot loss in the passing ot our dear friend and directress.

Fasdal wishes to thank Miss Shipley and to wish the coming Fasdal clubs much success.

It marked the closing of our school days, and it was the date of the presentation of our class play, Apple Blossom Time. Miss Jacob worked whole-heartedly in making this comedy the tremendous success that it was. Her ingenuity and patience were an inspiration to us all. Thanks to the record-breaking attendance, our class realized a large profit from the play. The plot concerned the complications which arose when Bob Matthews pretended to be the guardian ot the dangerous Betty Ann.

Although our time-honored directress. Miss Jacob, was taken by death just a few weeks before the play, we were very fortunate indeed in securing such a patient and capable director as Miss Rogatsky. To her we owe much of the success of the play. The plot revolves around the action of Becky Grove, who has always been obliged to play second fiddle to her pretty sister Leila, and Bob Penfield, Leila ' s jilted suitor. Becky and Bob decide that the only way to win Leila back for Bob is to make her jealous. Bob immediately showers Becky with flowers and candy galore. Jimmy aids the conspirators by making life unbearable for Leila ' s other beaux. Leila is soon ready to fall in Bob ' s arms, but it is too late — Becky and Bob have fallen in love.

Library Assistants THE OPERATION of a library requires far more work than one on the outside could know. New books and periodicals are constantly arriving and these require much attention before being put on the shelves. All new material entering the library must be catalogued; new books must be shellacked and stamped with the Norwood High School seal; a card must be made for, and a card pocket must be pasted in the back of, each book and magazine, and many other details need constant attention. That the librarian may be free for consultation and help in the use of the library several assistants are necessary. In Norwood High School these assistants are students who serve after school or during study bells. During study bells they stamp books being taken out, oj; make out the yellow slips for books and magazines being used for the hour period only. After school they accept and slip returned books, stamp out-going books, and see that the desk is cleared and the shelves in order at the time of closing. — Albert Ackermann. 178 The Senior Banquet npHE Third Annual Senior Banquet initiated the Senior Season of 1932. It was held in the school cafeteria Saturday evening, February 27. The various committees were formed under the leadership ot the members of the general committee. Phyllis Hathaway was general chair- man, with Ann Farber, Dorothy Watson, Warren Lapp, and ' irginia Hagedorn assisting. They are to be congratulated upon the way they planned, even to the slightest detail, a splendid banquet. The decorations were both simple and striking. Class colors were carried out in the baskets of spring flowers adorning each table. The programs, designed by Mildred Tudor, and extremely interesting on the outside, outlined a fine evening of entertainment. The class song was sung for the first time, opening the program, which was then carried through as follows: Doors George Zorini, toaslmasler Welcoming talks Mr. Johnson, Mr. Fiilks Toast to Athletic Heroes irdalh Burks Love Conquers Fear Phylli s Hathaway, Delhert Snider Toast to Family Heroes Jayne Lyle The Higher Is Lower Margaret Man, Morion Benham Toast to Scholastic Heroes irthiir dark Pantomime Esther Momberg, Ruth Thayer, Jane Mc.irthur, Donald Dodso ' xrth, H ' i liam Hendricks Advice to Graduates Robert Haiisser The Fixer Mildred Tudor, Robert Fisher, William Martin, Alfred H ' eisbrod At the conclusion of the program a flash-light picture was taken, following which everyone enjoyed dancing in the Field House. Fine music was supplied by radio. Since several cans ot talcum were used to wax the floor, the dancers went home with powdered shoes. This successful event started off the graduation season, which cul- mmates on commencement night, Friday, June 10. 79 State Scholarship Examination T ARLY Saturday morning, March 19, a group of twenty-seven seniors gathered at Norwood High School and left for Woodward to take a state scholarship examination. These twenty-seven were: Ardath Burks, Elva Corell, Charles Coughlen, Ann Farber, Jane Fordyce, Mary Louise Glenn, Willard Gorsuch, Virginia Hagedorn, Robert Hausser, William Hendricks, Robert Henke, Charles Johnson, Melvin Koch, Warren Lapp, George Longman, Jayne Lyle, Jane McArthur, Margaret Mau, Esther Momberg, Helen Schmidt, Delbert Snider, Ruth Thayer, Dorothy Watson, Evelyn Wiford, Arthur Wuest, Walter Wurster, George Zorini. The examination covered Science, History, Mathematics, English, and the World To-day. In the list of the twenty-one who placed Nor- wood won second place, Robert Hausser; third, Walter Wurster; fourth, Charles Coughlen; fifth, Arthur Wuest; seventh, Ardath Burks; eighth, George Longman; fifteenth, Delbert Snider; sixteenth, Melvin Koch; twentieth, Willard Gorsuch; twenty-first, Robert Henke. District Scholarship Contest EVERY year a District Scholarship contest is held in each of the five districts into which Ohio is divided. To take part in the examination for this district Norwood High School sent students to Miami University on Saturday, May 7. Tests were given in most subjects taught, and the two pupils entering for each subject were chosen by competitive exam- inations. In the outcome, Norwood ranked third of the schools competing, with a score of 104. Below are the names and the rank of our students who placed: Chemistry — Arthur Wuest, 7th General Science — Jack Tredway, 6th Physics — John Schatz, 6th First Year Algebra — Charles Kelly, 9th Plane Geometry — David Birrel, 7th American History — Robert Hausser, ist; Dorothy Christy, loth World History — Jack Colclough, 1st; Donald Harris, 4th First Year Latin — Roy Fink, 3d; Mary McLain, loth Second Year Latin — Lois McDonald, 2d; MelviivTassler, 7th First Year French — Corlie Jackson, 3d; F.mily Behrman, 9th Second Year French — Robert Henke, 4th Ninth Year English — Ruth Boehringer, 6th; Lucy Belle Calvert, 7th Tenth Year English — Lorin Little, 7th; Frances Tuttle, loth Eleventh Year English — Frederick Peters, 8th Twelfth Year English — Jayne Lyle, 5th IbO Senior Sponsors A T THE end of each year a number of girls are chosen by the Dean of Girls, from the upper third of the Senior Class, to act as Senior Sponsors the next semester. Their duty is to make the Freshmen feel at home in Nor- wood High School. At the beginning of the year the newcomers are taken on a tour through the high-school building by their Senior Sponsors. They are told the rules and regulations of the school, and of the various organiza- tions to which they may belong. The Senior Sponsors try to help the Freshmen with their studies and to advise them in every way they can. To Freshmen coming into high school, it is like coming into a new world. It is strange to them and they are rather bewildered. Senior Sponsors make them feel more at home and Seniors and Freshmen become better acquainted with one another. Seniors can put themselves in the places of the Freshmen, for they know how it feels to be one in a large group, most of whom you do not know. — DoROTHV Burns. Hygr Cotton Print Dance ON Saturday, May 14, the Field House was the scene of Hygr ' s annual dance, this year called the Cotton Print Dance in honor ot the cus- tom of wearing cotton print dresses on May Day. Hygr thought that, since May Day is Cotton Print Day, a May Dance might well be called a Cotton Print Dance. Edna Boehringer and Virginia Busam had charge ot plans for the affair. A number of other girls assisted them. The money made was added to H} ' gr ' s fund tor Camp Gray delegates. Also on May 10 and 28 Bridge Parties were given at the Y. W. C. A. tor the benefit of this fund. 181 12 Upper Eugene Busier Jack McGlasson Margaret Evans James Kimpel Clarence Ransick 12 Lower Madge Buskirk Marietta Duke 11 Upper Ardath Burks Elva Corell .

The charter for this chapter was received in December, 1929, and the first election to membership took place in the spring ot 1930. The aim of the organization is to hold before the school such motives as shall induce students to aspire to scholarly habits, to enlist in worthy service, and to forward all undertakings that advance the welfare of the school. Pupils eligible to election to the society must rank in the first fourth of their class, but upon not more than fifteen per cent of the entire class may this honor be bestowed. However, scholarship is not the only require- ment. In addition the candidate must have shown qualities of leader- ship and of exemplary character, and must have served his school when- ever possible. Qualifications are examined and seniors are elected by a special executive committee of the faculty, this committee including the prin- cipal and six teachers. In 193 1, twelve members of the graduating class were admitted to the organization. They were Margaret Evans, Sarah Griffith, Claire Krueger, Estelle Winkler, Ida Virginia Roudebush, Rosalind Kaplan, Richard Bauer, George Bonn, Eugene Busier, James Kimpel, Arthur Leininger, and William Ringland. When, last summer, Dick Bauer, a wearer of the keystone and flaming torch, attended the Third World Conference of the Y. M. C. A. in Toronto, Canada, where boys from all the nations of the world assembled, he met Robert Shimoda, of Honolulu, wearing a pin like his own. Although liv- ing thousands of miles apart, these two boys were brothers in this society. Thus one recognizes the universality of the organization. As part of the Class Day program, June 3, those students who have been elected will be tapped by the graduate members of the Norwood chapter. It is a matter of regret that The Silhouette goes to press too early to permit an announcement of these names. 183 Alumni Marriages Graduate Charles Hecker Ralph Hucke William Schlie Emily R.

This year one was held with the understanding that if well attended it would become an annual event. It was evident to all those who attended that the 1932 Junior Prom was a great success and it is hoped that succeeding affairs of the same kind will be as popular. The choice of the Prom queen, the mystery of the evening, was not announced until everv one had arrived. The honor of wearing this crown was conferred upon Bertha Kofmehl, popularly selected by members of the Junior class. The grand march was led by Bertha Kofmehl, Junior, and George Zorini, President of the senior class. To George fell the honor of seating the queen on the throne and of placing the crown on her head.

C. The trip to our national capital was especially noteworthy in this year of the bicentennial of George Washington ' s i)irth, and the time especially fortunate for the Japanese cherry trees were in blossom. The fifty-five pupils who took advantage of this opportunity left Thursday, April 21, from the old Norwood station of the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad. There were many high spots in the trips, the greatest ui which, beyond any doubt, was an interview with the First Lady of the Land. Mrs. Hoover received our group on Saturday at twelve-thirty in the Blue Room of the White House. After a few interesting and interested remarks, Mrs. Hoover dismissed us by shaking each one ' s hand. The itinerary included a trip to Annapolis, where the travelers were fortunate to see the dress parade, and an excursion to Mt. Vernon by boat on the beautiful Potomac; also a trip to Arlington, where they saw a change of the Guard ot Honor over the new Tomb of the LInknown Soldier. In addition to these special trips, the group covered much ground. They inspected the Congressional Library at night when it is especially grand. They visited the New National Museum and the Smithsonian Institute, and they toured the residential section, seeing most of the em- bassies and legations. Every one enjoyed the inspection tour through the Bureau of Printing and Engraving, where all paper money and stamps are made. Each of the tourists thrilled to the beauty of the Pan-American Building. All these things they did or saw, and they had an open evening besides. They stretched every precious minute to the fullest extent. The party had its headquarters at the Martinique Hotel, from which place special busses carried them to the various points of interest. The Dean of Girls and the Dean of Boys, Miss Kehm and Mr. Cleaver, were assisted in their positions as chaperons by Mrs. Taube and Dr. and Mrs. Bradley. When the group arrived in Norwood at six o ' clock Monday morning, each member agreed that never before had he had, never again might he know such a week-end of concentrated pleasure. All thanks to those who made it possible! 189 Pin-AmeT-iCArv Court On The Potomac Rjvaf Good 3amsritan Peck! K Waiting For?
