BURKHOLDER, who has given three years of untiring service to Delta High School and to all the pupils, the senior class of 1938 feels it a privilege to dedicate this annual, the new Panther. As superintendent, Mr. Burkholcler holds only the highest achievements as his goal for our school. Included in the achievements are honor, scholarship, athletic activities, various inter-school participations, and good fellowship. Following such ideals, our school is gradually improving in general morale and in scholarship. FOREWORD HE PANTHER desires to record, so far as it can, with picture and pen, those scenes and thoughts that will enable all who participated in them to relive again and again, in memory, the happy days and the high purposes of the high school year.

KATHRYN STAEHLING Though the library serves the public, as well as our school, its facilities are generously adequate to meet the needs of both groups. At the disposal of the students are 131 reference volumes, 2299 non-fiction books and 2540 fiction books. These books are not obsolete editionsg but, composed basically of valuable volumes, they are constantly augmented by purchases of new and interesting publications. These, selected by the librarian or sug- gested by teachers of various departments, keep our little library alive and effective. We realize, however, that all these books really function for us because of the capable assistance and direction of the librarian. Those last-minute book reports and other class discussions are many times made possible by her sympathy and guidance.

Ai 1: Band 2, 3, 4: Orchestra 3, 4: Glee Club 3: Operetta 3: Hold Everything 3: Class Treasurer 3: Scholar- ship Team 2, 3, 41 CLASS PROP!-IECV Oh, my! What a heartsick feeling I knew When, for my assignment, this prophecy I drew. CYou, too, will probably have the same feeling, though, When you read the poor poetry written below.J Of coLu'se, NOW I know everyone in the class- But, the problem is-to know them after twenty years pass. In my dilemna I went to a gorgeous Gipsy girl, And the things she told me left my head all a-whirl. She, in Gipsy iinery was really lovely to behold. But, I'l1 admit in that mysterious setting I was far from bold. Upon some mercenary persuasion, she gazed into that crystal ball, And you'll be surprised-the things she told of you ALL! Starting with Jean Abbott, said she: Jean's name twenty years hence starts with 'B', She has children, home and husband-that's ampleg But-alack and alas!-she'd like to chuck it and do the Big App1e ! I see a sweet, gentle nurse-to many, a real god-send, Ah, yes! you know her-bless her heart-she was once Jean Aumend. I find an author-a writer of jokes by the peck, He wrote them when in school, too-you guessed him-Maurice Beck. And, oh! You should see Junior Bowerman irunning the farm nowl, Why, they play sweet serenades while milking a cow! Did you know Einstein's been having help lately? And his mathematical assistant's none other than Bernard Cately. Rosella Chamberlin's fame now extends afar, , For she is the wife of a pro-football star. There's a new black-face comedian who's causing a din- You remember him-oh, yes!-Leo Chamberlin. The president of the Umpah Ump Company has on his salary bill The name of a now successful secretary-Ivah Churchill. And now, Bob Clay doesn't go by his rustic name, For it's as a machinist he has won his fame. Our only old maid is Jeanette Connor, Raising dogs is now her only honor. Bill Cox made his mark as a grocery clerk, When it comes to courtesy, he doesn't shirk. Emma Jane Crisman's purse is swollen beyond all others, By rewards for an invention for torturing little brothers. A new book on how to rear your daughter and son Has recently appeared-the author's Alice Davidson. Ahoy! Bernard Dewey is now the successor To Admiral G. Dewey, his predecessor. In New York the most popular model now to be found Is lovely Lois Ernst-her success is renowned. Wendell Falor is one of the most successful farmers around, Honors for the best corn and horses to him abound. Helen Fashbaugh is giving herself a new reputation, Right now, writing books is her dissipation. Red Grange, DiMaggio, Joe Louis-their reputations are surpassed By Dick Fraker's all-around athletic ability they were blast! The next name is Mable Fuller Cvery appropriatelyl, I see she has been writing Advice to the Lovelorn lately. Merwyn Griesinger is in the West on a lecture trip- His subject is How to Lose Enemies and Not Aifect Birds -and it's a p1p ! Franklin Guthrie is now swinging out jazz, He's the leader of a band that's really raz-ma-taz ! Th-ere's only one platinum blond remaining of old, And that's Kathryn Harmon-a pleasure to behold! Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs is being remade, My goodness-Clair Hines is Bashful rand being well paidl. Out of our class we have a factory worker-Joe Kistner, And 'tis said to sweet nothings he's still a good list'ner. A school teacher's salary may sometimes be lean, But not that of the one I see-Ilah Klopfenstein. There's another married woman in our midst-Norma Lindau, 'Tis said her husband before her rolling-pin do-th bow! Sixteen One member of our class has chosen the ministry- Adam Mann-is this a mystery ? For another Mann in our group I now answer, Yes, Doris is now a professional dancer. A movie idol whose glory extends afar Is Scott McDonnall, now a handsome star. Another member of the teaching galaxy is new. She teaches girls how to be modest-Stella Meridew. Bob Miley, oh-do you recall Tarzan, his nickname? Well, as Tarzan's double he's won his fame. Oh, my goodness-here's a boy in our class-Glenn Mock, I-lets always late for work-so Boss says, Dock! Seventeen It seems our class developed farmers-and then some more- Another member of the agriculture host is Marion Morr. A temperamental actress is causing a fury! Remember her? Of COUTSE, it's Gladys Murray. A football coach ilabeled a Rocknel to victory has led His team for high honors--who?-Wheat Olmstead. Luella Ruple is another successful sezretary, And I hear it whispered her boss she'll soon marry. Burton Ruple, also in our class-to Luella, no relation- As a business man has made his reputation. Louise Segrist is now a band director, Tune in on television and you can see her. Ed Staehling is now a prof-didn't you guess? My, oh, my! His class is always such a mess! The most successful surgeon, without a doubt, Of present times is Wally Stout. George Tedrow for his state is now representative And you should hear him-is he argumentative? Bob Vollmer above the clouds now flies, You should see him as he glides across the skies. Ronald Watkins plays with the New York Symphony, Incidentally, he buys his cuff links from Tiffany! Virginia Wiley has followed in the footsteps of her mother To her we go to be lovely-even she is none other. Paul Williams from Pettisville did come, A farmer he vowed he would become. Bernard Wolcott-a professional escort is his lot: But for love, he says, No! Never! And Not! Vince Zimmerman's surely made his markg With his gift of gab he's put Winchell in the dark And now I suppose 'tis time to end this nonsense, I know this poetry surely makes no sense: But then it wasn't my purpose to be a Muse- But only you-when you read this-to amuse. I'd like to say to all-I meant no oifenseg And I hope that when you read this ten years hence It will help to bring back many a school-day thought. If such a purpose it does serve-it has done that which it ought.

MARTHA SMITH Secreary-Treasurer ..... DARYL GRIESINGER As a rule, we usually think of the juniors as being important because next year they will be the big chief seniors. However, they should be given credit for what they have accomplished as juniors. The members of the junior class look forward to two big events, the junior class play and the junior-senior banquet. The junior class is a very prosperous class. They started out with a bang this year with the intention of giving the senior class a bigger and better banquet. They did a number of things to raise money. They sponsored a picture show, sold candy at basketball games, sold last year's annuals, and netted a good profit from their class play. This year the nautical idea was carried out at the junior-senior banquet. In order to enter the beautifully decorated hall it was necessary to walk up the gang plank. Extending around the room was a rope upon which hung life savers with HS. S. Deltan printed upon them. The ceiling was decorated with triangles of different colors. Placards designated different sections of the ship. At the back of the ship stood a lighthouse which continually flashed green and white, the high school colors. As each guest entered, he was presented a passport which contained a picture of the individual and also other information he probably never knew about himself, such as weight, color, and nationality. Everyone enjoyed the splendid dinner which was served by attractive waitresses dressed as deck hands. No one regretted the evening spent aboard the NS. S. Deltaf, Three cheers for the juniors!

Composed of girls who take vocational home economics, the club has many worthy aims. Some of these are as follows: to give a home economics girl more confidence in herself and in her worlcg to encourage thrift both in homemalcing and in her outside worlcg to promote scholarship among the girlsg and finally to give recognition to girls who are persistent and who make an effort to progress. Combined with the F. F. A., the club presented the play, 'iFixin, Aunt Fanny.

SENIOR LETTER MEN RICHARD FRAKER Dick earned the right to he captain by his all around playing ability and his field generalship. He hacked up the line and was always found near the ball-carrier. Dick played quarterback, and-it was rare when he missed a block. He will be greatly missed next year. RQBERT VCDLLMER Bob was our ufightingestu guard. He earned the most valuable player award by virtue of his hghting spirit, stick-to-itiveness, and courage. He played so gamely and clean that his work may be used as a yardstick for others. Bolfs a senior, which he does not regret, but which makes the team sorry. EDWARD STAEHLING Hank, one of our red-headed tackles, is another senior. This means another hard replacement for the team of next year. Hank played the game in a manner worthy of comment. He will be missed when the team lines up next fall. FOl't,y -011 8 FOOTBALL . . . CONTINUED WILLIAM COX Bill's the tampaging ghost, whose speed and experience combined to make him an asset to any team. To prove it, Bill has played regular for three years. He is an able pass receiver and ball carrier. His passing from the picture is an unfortunate occurrence to our team. FRANKLIN OUTI-IRIE Frank's reputation as a pile-driving backfield man was climaxed in the Wauseon game of this last year. His drives through the lines accounted for twelve of the thirteen points. This game was a fitting climax to his gridiron career. The team will really miss Frank. MARION IVIORR Marion, our other guard, is a member of that football family of Earl Mort. He didn't star or flash, but he fought all the time. He is a senior, but probably one of his brothers will fill his shoes. JOSERI-I KISTNER Joe shifted from backlield to end, and played with all his ability to stop opposing ball carriers. His specialty was the helmet tackle. They hit hard when he got them. Who will fill his position next year? That's what the coaches are worrying about. IVIERLIN OLIVISTEAD Wheat,,' our big and mighty, is putting an end to a high school career which boasts of four years of varsity playing. He is the only one of the graduating class to have this distinction. They'll have to get a ten-ton truck to fill his position. ROBERT MILEY Our Tarzan of the gridiron. Half the time Bob was taking track, and the other, football. His position, guard, let him use his strength effectively --which he did. Bob was always ready to play and his absence will be noticed next year. LEO CI-IAIVIBERLIN Leo won a service letter as a reward for his four years of faithful prac- ticing. When he missed, something drastic was wrong. He never gave up and always tried his hardest. They'll miss Old Faithful next year. Forty-two Tl-1E TI-IANKSGIVING GAME DELTA13 . . . Wx-xustom 0 Topping off a season of four wins and six losses was the 13-0 victory over the Wauseon Indians. When the Panthers left the Held there were injured, dying, and dead Indians strewn about in profusion. Encountering a slippery gridiron, the Panthers turned on a steaming power attack, which in the end gave them the victory. In the spotlight of the attack was Frank Guthrie, who accounted for 12 of the 13 points. Dick Fraker, who displayed unheralded speed and super-running, tallied the other lone point. The entire Green and White squad saw action. Forty-three Top Row: Mr. Cartwright, Daryl Grlesinger, Raymond Johnston, Maurice Beck, Warren Buchanan, Robert Sieren, Robert Churchill.

That fact was definitely established Saturday night, February 26, when Coach R. D. Kibele and his young Panthers smothered Fayette to win the county championship with a convincing 34-to-18 score. The game was played in Wauseon auditorium in conjunction with the county's class B basketball tourney. Delta had previously won the east-end title, while Fayette was winning the western division pennant. In every play-off game the Deltans virtually doubled their opponent's score. From the start the Delta basketeers performed like veterans, quickly throwing the Fayette lads into rout and retreat. The Kibele-coached lads brought home an attractive trophy, emblematic of the county title.

This year's event, which was held on Thursday evening, March 17, was bigger and better than ever.', The scheduled basketball game between the North Side Merchants and the South Side Merchants has proved itself to be an annual crowd-drawing attraction. This year the South Side won by a score of 21-17. Two basketball games, the Varsity vs. the Alumni and the juniors vs. the seniors, were also included in the evening's program. Delta merchants contributed food and other articles which were given away. A capacity crowd attended with many remarking upon the success of the affair. The proceeds of Fun Night are placed in the athletic fund to be used for uniforms and equipment. Forty-eight CHAPEL PRCDGRAMS 1.

BAND Early in the school year of 1937-1938 the band suffered a deep loss. Mr. E. A. Sutermeister, popular and efficient baton wielder, left our school to accept a splendid position elsewhere. While we rejoiced in the good luck of Sutie, it took some time for us to recover from the shock. After the storm clouds passed, we began to get our musical bearings under our new leader, Mr. Gottschalk. Under his guidance, the Delta High School Band has developed much skill this year. This organization provided a great deal of pep and enthusiasm at the home football games and also at several basketball games. This year, for the first time, our band participated in the district band contest at Bluffton. Even though we did not come home with the honors, all the members learned a lot from this experience whereby they hope to improve their playing ability. Among other important events of the school year, the band sponsored a solo contest on January 23, played at the spring meeting of the County Teachers' Association, and presented a program to the assembly March 23. Also during the year, the Better Band Club was organized by the parents of the band members to further the interests and to sponsor band activities.

JUNIOR-SENICDI2 GIRLS' GLEE CLUB President . HELEN FASHBAUGH Vice President . . LORENE STIRIZ Secretary-Treasurei' . , LOUISE SEGRIST This year the Girls' Glee Club was divided into two sections, the Freshman-Sophomore and the Junior-Senior Clubs. Much more was ex- pected from the latter, because the girls had experienced the work of the club from former years. This club endeavored to accomplish more because of the rivalry between it and the Freshman-Sophomore group. The biggest event of the year was our participation in the district contest at Ada on March 25. We were chosen as alternates to the state contest. All of the girls learned much from this experience and Will, no doubt, profit from it in the future. The numbers sung at the contest were Art Thou Sleeping, by Jensen, and Beauteous lVlorn, by German. The club also sang at the Delta Farmers, Institute, the Brailey Farmers' Institute, the Musical Revue and the spring meeting of the Fulton County Teachers' Association.

LOIS HALL Cn December 17, 1937, the Junior Higlm presented the operetta, Bringing Up Santa, under the direction of Miss Williams. The theme of the play centers around the investigation of Dame Fashion and her assistant, William Fitzgerald Van Husen, to modernize Santa and his environment. The reason for this desire of Dame Fashion is that she is afraid that the world will become dissatisfied because Santa Claus and his Wife remain so old-fashioned. Fifty-eight Mrs. Johnson, JEILHEHVC Connor, Luella Ruple DEBATE TEAM This year, for the first time in a number of years, Delta High School was fortunate in having a public speaking course in its curriculum. From this class, Luella Ruple and Jeanette Connor were chosen to represent our school in the public speaking and debate contest which was held at Clay Higlx School on January 22. The subject for contest debate was: Resolved that the several states should adopt a unicameral system of legislature. In the result of this tournament, Lake and Delta tied for first place. On February 3, the Delta team went to Lake High School to determine the winner. However, our debaters lost to Lake in the finals. Much credit should be given to Mrs. Johnson for her splendid instructions in coaching the team. Fifty-nine Top Row: Mr. Ruggles, Kathryn Harmon.

AND F. F. A. PLAY These members of the F. F. A. and F. I-I. A. clubs presented the three-act farce, Fixin' Aunt Fanny, on Friday night, December 3. The story con- cerns a nervous bridegroom-to-be and his experiences during the few hours preceding his wedding. Some of the exciting incidents of the story include the demand by the Collection Agency for the unpaid ring, the 'iborrowingn of Aunt Fanny's silver punch bowl to use as security to get the ring back, and the early arrival of Aunt Fanny, herself. Finally, by confessions and explanations, everything is straightened out and a happy ending closes the scenes of a very entertaining and well-clone performance.

JUNICR PLAY On April 8, the junior class presented Through the Keyhole, a spicy comedy centering about the self-reliant actions of Grandma Tierney, who believed that one could learn more from peeping through a keyhole than from going to college. By means of spying she was able to learn of the fortune-hunting friends of her grandson and granddaughter, thus avoiding two most unpleasant marriages, and at the same time bringing about desir- able love affairs between the household maid and her grandson, and between the butler and her granddaughter. The entire play was a series of brisk repartees and amusing events. In was enjoyed immensely by all. , Sixty-one E Back Row: Jean Abbott, Edward Staehllng, Franklin Guthrie.

SENICDR PLAY On Thursday evening, May 26, the senior class presented Spring Fever, a farce woven around college graduation. The play concerns a lively group that frequents Mrs. Spangler's rooming house at Brookfield College. She says, I never know if they're in or out. They come and go so fast you couldn't keep track of them if you were a paid spyf' That's more than true on the day before Commencementg for in addition to her regular college-boy roomers, their girls keep popping in and out, a few parents and an aunt show up, and the Prexy', and Professor Bean find occasion to call several times. And things happen! Spring fever has hit Brookfield! But why tell more? It's all fast and furious and funny, and it all ends entirely to everyhody's satisfaction.

The evening was spent in dancing, with time out for a bathing beauty contest. The contestants comprised the new members of Hi-Y. Kenneth Eicher and Richard Falor were adjudged the beauty winners. Another attraction of the evening Was a pantomime, presented by the Freshman Class. The efforts of 'tour youngest impressed everyone. The rest of the evening was spent in dancing to the enchanting swing of the Twilight Cavaliers. Culmination of the evening was the grand march and processional to the basement where inviting refreshments of ice cream and cake were served. SECOND HIGH SCHOOL PARTY-CHRISTMAS PARTY On the evening of December 23, 1937, the Girl Reserves and the Hi-Y clubs sponsored a Christmas party in Community Hall. As the guests entered the hall, they were amazed to see the familiar room transformed into a beautifully decorated one. Blue and silver were the predominating colors, with branches of evergreen placed about the stage and balcony. The well- known music of the Twilight Cavaliers entertained for the dancing. All too soon came the grand march when the couples proceeded to the dining room. Refreshments, consisting of hot dogs and hot chocolate or coffee, renewed the energy of the tired dancers. At twelve-thirty a tired but happy ,crowd of students were ready to call an end to a delightful evening. THIRD HIGH SCHOOL PARTY-ST. VALENTINES PARTY On Saturday, February 5, 1938, when the students entered Community ldall, they found the auditorium cleverly adorned with red hearts and other famous Valentine decorations. The evening was spent in dancing to the strains of music by the Swingaliers. There were ping-pong, bingo, and cards for those who did not care to dance. When the grand march was announced, the couples went down for refreshments which proved to be delicious ice cream, cake and heart-shaped candies. The gala event was well planned and the Commercial Club deserves much praise for its fine presentation. FOURTH HIGH SCHOOL PARTY- SPRING SHUFFLEH The music clubs of Delta High sponsored a Spring Shuffien on Friday evening, April 22, in Community Hall. Blue and silver were predominant colors, with silver musical emblems placed on a blue background. A new idea was used for serving refreshments. Several girls gave the guests glasses of punch and small wafers during the course of the evening. The dance music was furnished by an orthophonic. Everyone enjoyed himself and was dis- appointed when the time came to leave for home.
