Delta High School - Del Hi Yearbook (Delta, OH)

Text from Pages 1 - 180 of the 1937 volume:

-mi del-h i PUBLISHED BY THE SENIOR CLASS OF DELTA HIGH SCHOOL To the class of 1930, r-ho has expressed its appreciation of a yearbook by subscribing to the largest percent of its class enrol lnent, vre dedicate this 1937 issue of the Del-Hi. OUR SCHOOL 1SS9 - 1937 For a half century our school building has served the educational needs of the youth of Delta Community. Today despite its age, it stands as one of the best equipped old school buildings in Northwestern Ohio. School buildings, like other material things,weaken and deteriorate with age and ultimately work the limit of their period of usefulness and safety. A tour through the building presents to the observer a multitude of undesirable and unsafe conditions. Being of wood and brick construction, the fire hazard is ever present. All rooms are not adequately equipped with fire escapes. Halls are narrow and congested with rows of individual lockers. The vocational departments are located in the basement, a situation contrary to modern standards of school building construction. We have no gymnasium or auditorium in connection with the building, which necessarily, seriously limits the entire school program of such desirable activities as sahool assemblies, dramatics, physical education, recreational activities during the noon period, and many others. Delta community needs a new school building. Its citizens are public spirited, progressive in their ideas and practices. They are interested in the future of their youth and the benefits of good educational facilities. It is our hope that the near future will bring a crystalization of thought and action that will make this hope a reality. L£fi£MD For many years the spirit of the nighty panther has been stalking through the halls of our school. His strategy, agility, and endurance follow our boys in their athletic activities. His tenacity and perseverance lead many of our students to high levels of intellectual attainment. The influence of his rythmic and graceful movements can be seen as the co-eds glide across the ballroom floor. His courage and fearlessness characterize the dauntless leadership of the officers of all school organizations. At tines ve even detect faint evidence of that deep and terrible wrath of which he is capable, struggling, for supremacy in the faces and actions of our teachers. This, in brief, is the Panther Spirit. Man, from his earliest beginnings, has taken delight in making records of his deeds. He has recorded on the walls of his first cave dwellings pictures symbolic of his adventures, his achievements. So, we, too, have delighted in making the Del-Hi of 1937. We have told here, in story and pictures, the valiant deeds of our heroes. Like primitive man, many of us who have made this little book have not been the chieftans who fought the neighboring tribes in battle. But we wielders of pens, lay claim to a courage as great as theirs. For a while their errors are quickly forgotten, our mistakes are indelibly stamped here to live for the next generations of classes to see. Without the support and encouragement of Mr, Burkholder, our faculty adviser, the teachers and many students not on the staff, our pens would have faultered and failed.

It was found last year that through this method a better annual could be produced at a considerable lower cost, although it involves more work. Our aim, Bigger and Better, was attained through the cooperation of the student body in subscribing to the yearbook.

I.!any of our students have been successful in obtaining office positions without additional training. The success of the departnent is due largely to the able instruction and leadership of Hiss Nau, who has been the head of the departnent since 1924. TROPHIES The trophies pictured here be? r incontrovertible evidence of the heights of supremacy to which Panther tens have attained in past years. The combined efiorts, hopes, ideals and perseverance of hundreds of D. H. S. graduates are combined here to inspire to greater heirhts the future standard bearers of the Old Panther Spirit. THE SCIENCE LABORATORY No school would be complete without a science laboratory. It occupies c necessary place in a scientific course. A laboratory is a place where a student nay acquire knowledge not gained from books. There he has an opportunity to actually observe the laws of nature. He also develops an ability to work with his hands. Delta High School has a laboratory of which we can be proud. The state inspector of schools stated that Delta has one of the three best equipped laboratories in Northwestern Ohio. The chemistry, biology, and general science classes ell use the laboratory as a place of study. 11ANUAL TRAINING The purpose of this department is not to produce skilled craftsmen, but to develop an understanding and appreciation of the perfection nan has attained in making things. The work of the department is designed to include the fundamentals of the various crafts: Ilech- anical drawing, blue-printing, woodwork, metal work, ceramics, and forging. Frequently merchants make their show windows available for displays of the products of this development. HOME ECONOMICS The ideal situation would be an arrangement whereby the teacher might visit the home of each girl and there, surrounded by the unlimited equipment with which most modern homes are furnished, reveal to her the mysteries and intricacies of cooking, sewing, and housekeeping This being impossible, the Delta School have provided the nearest to the ideal , a furnished home for the instructor to which the students may come to be taught in the natural surroundings of a home. Miss Kurtz has proven herself to be a master of the needle and pan and an excellent teacher of the best in housekeeping technique. Most of the boys from the rural districts enroll in the agriculture department. Here are brought together that which the scientific professors have learned about farming from their research experiments in the laboratory and that which the boys have learned from practical experience on the farm. Both groups have a lot to contribute to a better knowledge of the best methods and practices necessary to obtain the greatest returns from the soil. Mr. Tressler, the instructor, has proved himself a master of both the practical and theoretical phases of the best in agricultural practice. AGRICULTURE Left to Right BOARD OF EDUCATION ilr.

The upper classmen stood in awed silence speculating as to the meaning of the new menace. Being shaken in spirit by their voyage over the rough road of experience they were quite terrified by the three distinct groups who came down to receive them. There were Sophomores, wild, reckless, and ready to jump on the newcomers attacking them with sarcasm and ridicule. A group of greeter rower, but not so much given to influencing strangers, was known as Juniors. Then there were the chief and dignified Seniors, a nighty band who spent much time in conversation with the faculty, and in pursuit of knowledge just before the great headache (examinations). The members of the new arrivals were known as Freshmen, which in the language of the realm meant green . For the purpose of protection and mutual advancement they organized and elected as president of their body, Arthur Mattern, and as his assistant, Paul Todd. In spite of their greenness these people made rapid progress and without serious catastrophe they came to the end of their first High School year at Delta. At the beginning of the second year, these Freshmen of sturdy pioneer parentage, with much assurance took up the tools and continued the work of the departed Sophomores, they having gone on to occupy the more important territory of the Juniors. These new Sophomores eager for revenge and remembering well the afflictions of the previous year did frequently annoy those poor underlings, the Freshmen, but without casualties or recorded violence. The new organization elected as their president, Paul Todd. With the acts of diligence the Sophomores hewed their way into the battle of greater achievements, under the guidance of their supervisor. So drew to an end the second -year of battle. Into the third year came this valiant band, followed close on their heels by the former Freshmen to take up their recently vacated position. Having conquered the lessons of the Sophomores, they now occupied their new quarter as Juniors. An important faculty ruler of this period was Hiss Palmer, who was a skillful artisan in the building of knowledge. This year was characterized by the members who were struggling for prominence in basketball, football, and the Junior Class Play, fired by the zeal of our new most capable Superintendent, Mr. Burkholder. The Juniors elected as their President, James Geiger. As James’s assistant, Thelma Quelet, was elected Vice-President, and Sarah Johnson was given the position of Secretary and Treasurer. Several social events, such as the Junior-Senior Banquet marked this year. Thus drew to an end the third year. Year four was marked by important reconstruction for the humble band who had occupied the caravan three years before, and became Seniors, the mighty leaders of the realm. The Seniors greatly impressed themselves upon the lower tribes of D. H. S. and became noted for their diligence and ability. As their leaders, Bernard Pfaff was elected President; Arthur Mattern, as Vice-President; and Helen Albin, as Secretary and Treasurer. Great occasions were the numerous parties, and the plays that were given by the members of this class. Thus ends the fourth and last year. Knowing that this is not twilight, but dawn, and armed with an unquenchable spirit, the class of 1937 goes forth to conquer new territories. CLASS '.

I Signed by the said Senior Class of ’57 and by then acknowledged to be their last will and testament, before us and. in our presence and by us subscribed as attesting witnesses in their presence and at their request and in tne nresence of each other this 31st day of May, A. D. 1937. Lyal W. Burkholder Bverett A. Sutermeister JUST IMAGINE According to the faculty, we all showed evidence of possessing marvelously efficient imaginations when we struggled through the beloved quizzes. On the other hand, we students all attempt to convince' the teachers that they too, have active imaginations; and really, it is rather uncanny to have some of the teachers accuse you--of all peopleJ--of having passed that note, whispered, copied or played hookey 1 ! So now in order to prove or disprove these accusations, we are all going to take an imaginary test to test the efficiency of our imaginations. Is it perfectly clear? If not, just imagine that you understand. Just imagine that many years have passed since you were an inmate in D. H. S. But as a good example. I'll imagine first. I'll imagine that I have grown tired of my life on Venue, and have decided to return to earth for a few months. I hopped into my Super Rocket Space Zephyr and headed toward one of the distant twinkles that was supposed to be earth. I decided to go first to the United States, since it was my home nation. However, I landed with a bit too much enthusiasm and couldn't stop the Zephyr until I came up in China. While wandering through the streets, I was surprised to hear some one say: Why Ellen Lundy, what are you doing here? I looked up to see Rosemary Pfaff cleaning a sign which read, Manicures very cheap--two inches filed off for 50 , Rosemary said, No, business isn't sc good. There are plenty of finger-nails in China, but the fashion is to wear them long with a little end-curl. After deciding to tour Europe, I stopped for the first night enroute in Turkey, There I found the harems much improved under the management of the capable Vernon Churchill and Loel Orndorff. My next stop was Czechoslovakia, where Wayne First-enberger was astounding the world with his unique designs for toys. However, he enjoyed playing with them himself so much that he wouldn't sell any. Switzerland was the next stop, and I was just in time for the Olympics. It gave me a great thrill to see the U. S. contestants, Velma. Raker and Jean Eldred, lead the skiers. Just Imagine (cont.) When I reached Spain I was able to read a little of the news. One column written by Ida Claire (formerly Fayetta Mann) was very enlightening. From Spain I went north to France and of course visited Gay Paree. While there I accidentally learned that James Geiger was very proud of himself because he had recently saved seven seasick sailors. A famous American movie star visited Germany when I did, I thought at first glance that it was Jack Oakie, but soon I remembered a graduate of '37, Danny Spengler, From him I learned that Homer Cooper was the world's most famous surgeon--yes, still a cut-up. On the way to IT. s. I heard a wonderful radio broadcast. It was a concert by Nunziata Brasiola, Marvin Morr Helen Moser, and Robert Watkins, who were at the time touring Asia Minor giving Piccolo concerts. When I arrived in New York I was astonished to learn that the season's best seller was Why I am a Woman-hater written by Richard Merrin, who was then residing in Siberia. Yes, it astopished me, but in a way prepared me for the blow dealt by an evening column on Advice to the Lovelorn, written by Sarah Johnson. It was pleasant to learn the prosperity had returned to the U. S. in such an abundance that bread lines had been eliminated--they were called Steak Lines Instead. I investigated them and found some old friends from Delta. There was Virginia Crisman, a disabled hairdresser who had sprained a ligament in her second finger while setting a wave. Max Thomas and Arthur Mattern were there too. It seemed that they had been substituting (by means of a rope) for the Siamese twins, but they had mislaid the rope. There was Bud White in the line bemoaning the fact that he had spent his fortune riding back and forth from Earth to Mars on a passenger Rocket ship of which Doris Fauble was Stewardess. Then I went straight (as the Zephyr flies) to Delta. The first thing I noticed was the new ninety-seven story city hall, on the top of which Bernard Pfaff was reviving the old art of flag-pole sitting. I wanted to inquire a-bout all my old classmates and decided that the most reliable information would come from the Mayor. I entered his office and needed no introduction to his Honor, Robert Turpening. ==Hi® JUST HIAGIIIE (COKT) He said thc.t Ruth Krauss and Doris Cogsn were publishing pamphlets on Should I let Ky Child Play Y ith Robots? .........7irg.il Trigg and r'ayne 1-Iohr ’'ere planning to b ridge the Atlantic........and the story of Paul Harm reallj'- is sad, he v as a victim of a case of hero worship and he followed Hal Leroy to southern Africa.

After the interview with Bob, I visited the high school to find that Helen Albin was principal. Cf course I couldn’t leave Earth without visiting Hollywood. Upon landing there I received another shock. There at the airport I found that famous detective I. C. Alii:!I!

Turpening for inventing a liquid which made whiskers curl so tightly that they pinched themselves off. IThile in Hollywood I vent to a firrt night of one of D. K. S.’s latest pictures. Y'ithout a doubt, the new Romeo of the screen, Paul Todd, had taken Varner Baxter’s place in the heart of the public, (of course this necessitated hi3 growing a mustache.) In the news reel with the picture I recognized many old classmates. The following people made news: Lucille Srans and Thel- ma luelet were the only surviving srord-s’ nllo,rers. (They got their experience during their school days swallowing the daggers from the teachers eyes.) Janes Bratton, a reno’-ned evangelist, '’ho was in Washington that week, had just announced his engagement to Helen Dailey. Helen at the time was getting a patent on her latest invention—a little device for riris to wear on their shoes ”hen out with the boy friend. :fhen he misbehaves, the inv ntion enables the girl to kick his shins so hard that he thinks he is wearing wood-peckers for garters.

L. ’37 LIBRARY Delta Public Library was founded more than twenty years ago by the women's clubs of Delta. In 1925 it was organized under state laws, and became a school district library.

SOPHOMORE CLASS HISTORY Flower Sweet Pea Color Purple and Gold Motto The elevator to success is broken, take the stairs. The members of the class of 39 began their journey in quest of Knowledge with hearts of courage and good cheer. They, like many beginning classes were wonder stricken when they first entered this higher organization of school activities. Many became discouraged because of the blunders they had made during their beginning weeks, but with a little encouragement they became well established Sophomores at the end of the term. Amusements and athletics were intermingled with their tasks of learning. They were guests at a Halloween Dance sponsored by the upper classmen. Besides, athletic honors they have attained some members on the honor roll. The leadership of the class was given to Earl Whitmire, President; Fermin Dohm Vice-President; Ann Yeager, Secretary and Treasurer; and Miss Nau sponsor. At the dawn of their second year they showed more interest in activities. Their old masters the Seniors, were gone and a new group had replaced them. Then our pioneers became themselves. Miss Nau was chosen as the Chief-look-out; Herbert Poorman, First-look-out; Robert Sieren, Second-look-out; Daryle Greisinger, Keeper of records; and Martha Smith, Handler of money. The Juniors should give the Sophomores a big hand because they have already started to make money for their Junior-Senior Banquet. In spite of all their worries they have reached the half way mark toward earning their diplomas.

In its seventh year of organization the Delta High School Band has assumed a very important place in the school. The purpose of a high school band is to give every student, who so desires, on opportunity to express himself in the language of music as well as to learn to appreciate good music. Mr. Sutermeistcr, who has directed the band for the past three years, deserves credit for the attainment of these aims. This is shown by the fact that the enrollment has steadily increased end a greater variety of music is being played. The band members, too, deserve credit for their excellent performance throughout the year. At the footbell games last fall the band helped to keep up pep and enthusiasm for the Panthers. Early in the year the bond started preparations for the annual bend concert, which was held May 14. The concert program follows.

December 3, the Athletic Association sponsored the annual football banquet. Thoy enjoyed a delicious uinner served by the Ladies1 Auxiliary. After the dinner, the boys were entertained with group singing and a few numbers by the boys' trio. Bernard Pfaff va?’ elected Honorary Ca tain and was asked to .ive a short talk. Lewis 3. Hoorehead, State D.rector of Eealt.. and Physical Education, gave an interesting and Leloful talk. Then letters were awarded to the following boys by Hr. Cartwright and Hr. Burkholder. Bernard Pfaff (Captain) Bernie held down the center position in great shape. His fine passing ability proved to be a great help to the backfield men. He backed up the line on defense and was continuously in the opponent's backfield. He had the honor of being the most talkative player on the team, always keeping the team's spirit hi ;li. Bernie is a Senior, this year and he will leave quite a hole in the-oerrttfr of the line. Daniel Spengler (Donny) Danny was a good sized boy and he filled up the right tackle position. lie was a scrappy player and he had a sense of humor that was usually ai. .ed at the other team. Danny is a Senior and many of the opposing backfield men are glad he won’t be playing next year. Marvin l-Iorr (liarve) Marvin was the fastest man in our backfield. He was always good for a cou le of yards and was.an extra good blocker. Marvin is a Senior and he will be missed next year. Wilbur Wr ite (Bud) Bud played backfield. While only playing in a few games he turned in many fine performances. Too bad he is a Senior. Paul Todd (Samson) Paul was a m -r or veteran around whom much of the strength of our team depended. Paul is of high standards and set a fine emorrle for his team-mates. He was a sx.ifty runner and ball handler, snaring passes which gained our team many yards. He will be remembered by both his team-nates and his opponents for the hi h type of sportsmanship he displayed t.krou d out • is years us an athlete for.Delta.... Joseph Kistner (Joe) Joe played both tackle and end, and he did some of the punting. Joe was big and fast and v as a hard tackier. Due to injuries, Joe missed the last half of the seaon. He will be back next year fighting all the harder. Rickard Fraker (Dick) Dick layed end and backfield and he was field general. He knew the game well, which he showed in his ability to call the right ''lays at the right time. Dick is an accurate passer and a shifty ball carrier. Dick is a Junior, so we will hear more about him next year. Merlin Olmstead (Wheat) Although Wheat was the heaviest man on the team, he was fast and could handle himself well, which he proved in many of the games. Wheat olayed left tackle. Our opponents soon found out it was useless to try to come through there. Wheat will be back next year shoving us some of his football ability. Robert Vollmer (Bob) Bob is like a stick of dynamite small but mighty. Bob played right guard and played his position well. He is a Junior and much is expected from him next year. William Cox (Bill) Bill was not very big but he made up for it in speed and foot-work. 3iil played backfield and was a shifty ball carrier and hardy player. Bill will be with us again next fall to tear up the turf. Edward Staehling (Ed) Ed played tackle and he played it in the Orthodox manner. Ed has red hair and he lives u to it in his fighting snirit in a game. Ed will be back next year doing his part. Franklin Guthrie (Gus) Franklin layed the blocking half back position. Ke was a good blocker and good defense man. Due to an injured arm Franklin lissed the last half of the season. We will hear more about him next year. Lloyd Forrest (Seger) This was Lloyd's first year of football but he went in to it as if he were an old hand at it. He played blocking half back and you could count on his man being out of the 'lay. Lloyd will be beck next fail driving harder than evexv Earl Whitmire (Rube) Earl played in the backfield. He won his position with his speed. Earl has two more years to show his ability to run and carry the ball. Kenneth Eicher (Kenny) Kenny is another big Sophomore that was always in the way of the other team. In years to come other towns will be talking about Delta's big tackle. Warren Buchanan (Buch) Warren is only a Freshman but he has the raw material of a star football player. He has the size and is fast. He played good football this year and in his next three years he will cross the goal line many times. Floyd Forrest (Seger) Floyd is not very big, but he made up for it in speed and drive. Although this was his first year of football he could run, kick, and pass like a veteran. Floyd is only a Sophomore and he will have two more years to worry our opponents' coaches. Raymond Johnston (Red) Red is the Tarzan of the Sophomore Class, and he lives up to his name. Red played guard position and he played his part well. He has two more years in which we will be hearing big things about him. 1937 Football Prospects The outlook for next years team is very promising. The Coaches will have twelve letter men back, who have enough football ability to have a championship team. The men lost this year are: Pfaff, Todd, and Spengler, all linemen, Morr and White from the backfield. 1937 Football Schedule September 17 Holland Here September 24 Perrysburg There October 1 Blissfield Here October 8 Liberty Center There October 15 Kicksville Here October 22 Maumee Here October 29 Morenci Here November 5 November 12 November 19 OPEN November 25 Wauseon There SR.

So that we can in a neasure redeem ourselves, we leave the following suggestions to the lower classes and members of the Faculty. be feel the t our experience with these important questions have been broad enough to warrant the careful consideration and observance of them by the lower classrien. First, let us consider that with which we are ell familiar, the Assembly Room. OhJ little do you know. I fear, the mysteries therein. It is in this room that so many of the teachers have faced the problems that have left then nervous VTecks. be implore you, lower classmen, to have more consideration for their naturally nervous temperament. For instance, one of the things so annoying is walking across the front of the assembly about the middle of a period with the accompaniment of heel plates. Now if it is necessary that you wear heel plates, be sure that there are at least twenty-five persons in the room before you weIk, as that breaks up the echo, hulking tiptoe is not advisable either, because it gives the boards a tendency to snap and crack. The idea of using the blackboard for announcements is really absurd. Whet have you got those nice walls in the room for if not to put your announcements, autographs, etc., on? ..'e also suggest that the school authorities place more pencil sharpeners around. They are one of the greatest means of giving a pupil exercise that we have in the school. By all means this is necessary to their physical development. Now here is a little secret we wish to leave with the Juniors. It has been one of our secrets of success. -Tiile trying to get to class at the other end of the hall before the last bell rings, spit on your shoe soles, extend the arms horizontally, take two steps forward and slide, be have found that we can make the length of the hall in two seconds flat. Probably with the aid of heel plates you can make still better time. At least, the suggestion is worthy of your trial, as it eliminates the nuisance of being released from duty for e week, end the other bad results of being late to class. Don't let the Faculty put anything over on you. Don’t forget that you have just as much right there as they have; the only difference is that they are paid for being there. As to the idea of their being able to teach you anything, why there is nothing to that. Rememjber that they ere obligated to you for attending their classes. If they don't like the way you do, get up and leave (for you probably will have to anyway.) We are staunch supporters of athletics, but there are a few things in connection with athletics that we want to correct before entering the ge:.ie. Powder serves to let their opponents know just where they are at all times. Even if it is flesh color, they ern easily smell it, and in this way break up many pi: ys. Instead, they should be greased with cold cream; if anyone should be rude enough to attempt hitting then, their fists would easily slip off. Now we advise you also to have the boys prrt their hair in the middle. This serves to keep then on stable equilibrium, and serves as a sight when shooting at e basket. Always treat the janitors with more respect than the teachers. They keep you warn (sometimes), ’while the teachers make it hot for you. Isn't it right that you should show your respect for those who try to make you comfortable? These few rules and customs have been the secret of our success, and we feel sure that if you follow then carefully, you, too, can be a credit to the D. II. S. Especially, we ask you to observe those pertaining to the care of the building. The beauty of the building will help to hide from outsiders your lack of knowledge. This is our advice to you.
