We ourselves, throughout all our school course, have been undergoing what may be considered a factory process. We entered as raw material , and after twelve years of being made , we are now the partially finished products-some of us ready for re-touching- others well prepared for the market of life. On behalf of the class, the staff hopes that those in the school who have not yet completed the process may enjoy it as much as have We, the members of the Class of 1930.

The building, like any manufacturing unit, buzzed with industry. A gong scunded. The artisans and apprentices gathered together to begin the great task of creating a masterpiece. ln four years they hoped to weave an arras-a Tapestry of Achievement that should represent all those phases of high school life that lead to mental advancement and physical development. ln the first days of apprentice-ship the beginners, or freshmen, as they were called, were taught the essentials of the art. ln preparation for the weaving of the tapestry they studied such subjects as algebra, science, English and Latin. These various courses formed the warp of the tapestry. The heavy undyed warp threads were stretched very close together in order that the foundation might be strong and firm. The freshmen soon realized that the creation of the proposed masterpiece was an arduous undertaking. They would have become discouraged and given up the immense task had not artisan and master workmen so patiently directed the weaving of the Tapestry of Achievement. During the second or sophomore year the pattern or cartoon, as the design is known to the tapestry makers, was begun. Day by day, the figures in the fore- ground of the tapestry grew until at last observers could see that the theme of the arras was founded on the learning and progress of the workers, who through study and perseverence were advancing and achieving their goal, the securing of knowledge. Every detail of the tapestry depicted an important part in this advancement. The border reflected with color and beauty those activities that lend glamour and enchantment to the life of the student. Among the many figures that enhanced the tapestry were the images of the musicians, pictures of gifted actors, and fiery debaters, and illustrations of inspired writers. The mighty figures of athletes, football, basketball, and track lettermen, were all woven into the tapestry border. Meanwhile the body of the great arras was woven in soberer colors and in the more conventional patterns. Into it went the mathematics, the languages, the sciences, the history, and the various kinds of manual work so necessary for successful life. At the dawn of the third or junior year the activities and duties multiplied. Each day another figure was woven into the tapestry. With skill and dexterity the Weavers directed the broche, an implement like a shuttle that wove the colored threads over and under the warp. The process of the weaving was so intricate and tedious that a few laborers became disheartened and gave up their broches to the newcomers, who from time to time joined the band and assisted in the completion of the undertaking. ln the spring of this year other activities were woven into the tapestry. The organized junior class, as well as the junior Piquonian Staff were portrayed in the Thirty-Three Q , iff?-a. gntgwx ffkfi .. . ...V s,.,fp. 1 C3gi.fg,J l.fg,RJQ J I ,fk21'fEg'r1' ff' F-F141 lil' VT ie 5 W-lj fhi rapidly growing and beautiful border. The illustration of the Junior and Senior party at the Piqua Golf Club completed the work of the junior year, With much vigor the weaving was renewed in the September of the senior year. Immediately the weavers began the sketches of the class officers and Piquonian staff. The likeness of the victorious football squad made a striking picture in the arras. Besides, there were other teams, basketball, track, baseball, tennis and folf, as well as the different clubs, including, Scribblers, Dramatic, Aviation, Home conomics, and French, that were also illustrated in the border of the tapestry. The harmony of music was reflected in the arras. The orchestra, band, and horus were reproduced. The representation of the Band Festival and the chorus roduction of the Creation', preserved for posterity the unusual accomplishments of nineteen hundred and thirty. With all the attention given the border, however, the body of the tapestry was not forgotten. The greatest care was taken to make it smooth and even, a piece of work of which every weaver might be proud. During the last few weeks of May and the first week of june the broches wove in and out with determined movements. Finally, the day came in the early jane of 1930 when the masterpiece-the Tapestry of Achievement-was complete. In commemoration of this event each weaver received a diploma that testified to liis skill in the art of weaving and challenged him to go forth and attain recognition in the weaving of I.ife's tapestry. Katherine L. Weber, '3O. WORK Each person in this world of ours Has his own work to dog No man can be found any place Who hardships never knew. Someone has always worked for usg Our parents toiled we know, Our teachers strove for all of us, So gratitude we'll show. Our high-school work is over now, Our real work just begun, We think of that with many a sigh- That wasn't work, 'twas fun. But now Weill go to work alone, And not stop till it's done. Of course we'll all meet obstacles Until life's goal is won. And then when we are old and gray, And look back with a smile, We'll know that in those bygone years We've something done worth while. Betty Thoma, '3O. Thirty-Four A referee. N V :jr Di p me K9 L I Class Prophecy, 1930 T was really the biggest snail I'd ever seen-a great, smooth, leisurely looking snail-calmly moving along with the greatest possible slowness. Rather an intelligent looking snail too! I decided to follow him-he surely was going some place. As far as I could see he was a perfectly normal snail in every respect save one-after he had progressed a few inches he would turn his head and with his knobby little horns, hook up the shiny thread behind him. I soon saw he was headed for a large stone, and so I headed for it too. He had evidently been there before because he did not hesitate a bit but crawled right toward a small hole under one side. just as he reached the hole he turned and with his horns wiggled to me to follow. Of course I did, I walked right up to the hole and to my great surprise I shrunk several inches with every step I took until, by the time I had reached it, I was quite small enough to follow my friend. It was dark and cool but I could faintly see the trailing threads that the snail now left behind him. Suddenly we turned a sharp corner and I saw spread before me a miniture town with its tower- ing smoke stacks, its tiny steeples, wee cottages, and the slightly larger homes of the evidently wealthier people of the place. lust at the edge of the town was a gate-way with a little sign above it. Imagine my surprise when I read Twenty Years From Now ! Why what is this?,' I said in surprise to the guiding snail, Twenty Years From Now. I turned again to the snail, What does it mean? How could any one know what things will be like twenty years from now? My dear friend, calmly replied the snail, You will learn many things be- fore you leave this place, I will tell you this much now, the things you will see here are absolutely the things that will be taking place on the upper earth within twenty years. As you have always seemed interested in things that were not quite usual I have been granted permission to show you this hidden city, He took me first to an enourmous building in the tiny city and introduced me to a guide no bigger than myself. The building was really a complete city in itself for here was carried on every occupation necessary for the continuation of life. One of the first things shown me was the elaborately equipped hospital for the use of the employees there. The thing that most attracted my attention in the place was an invention by Edith Rial. It was a huge cabinet affair in which the patient seated himself. It was lined with a solid wall of ice, a small motor was attached to it, and the whole thing worked on the same principle as the popular refrigerators of today. I was told that this was quite the most effective way of reducing excess weight yet discovered. The hospital was well supplied with efficient and well trained nurses. Among them I recognized Dorothy Schertz, Minnie Dowty, Ruth Wharton, Mabel Taylor, and Ruth Wiltheiss. There were also two surgeons of whom the snail spoke with considerable respect, Frances Heckerman, and Tom Ramsey. At one side of the room was a large case filled with eyes, noses, mouths, chins, arms, legs, and even full heads of hair. Upon inquiring the use of this horrible display, I was 'told that the surgeons had become so expert that if a person desired any new part Thinty-F ive 4 Qlgiffliifom fcr his body, it could be purchased and grafted on so skillfully that no one could ever know the difference. I asked the source of their supply of parts, but this tlvey refused to tell me. Adjoining the hospital was the undertaking establishment and there I found my friend Priscilla Brehm-ready for anything! I was next taken to what I considered one of the most interesting parts of the whole building. After going down into the earth about four miles, we came to the level where precious stones were mined. Charles Allen was in charge of this work, and told me for what the stones were used. A lovely turquoise they mined was used for the eyes of women, and the peculiarly shaped lumps of gold were used for the kind of hearts certain people possess. Farther down we came to the r ck layer. Here was found a form of flint, used in men's eyes to get a hard look, g anite from which men's firm, square, determined chins and jaws were made, a hard brittle stone used in many people's hearts, and lastly a soft, unsubstantial clay for feet. Art Hoblit appeared to be the chief director of activities in this section. , After returning to the surface, I was taken to an extraordinary room, a con- sdrvatory Hlled with trees of all shapes and sizes, and all of them bearing fruit of some kind. With some of the fruits I was familiar but many I had never seen bffore. A large staff of foresters were running around busily. I recognized E,nest McClannan, Donna Battson, Katherine Thomas, Celia Recker, and Mary Evans. I learned later that these trees furnished one of their main items of food. Several eminent dietitians, Janice Havemann, Ethel Heath, Margaret Meyer, Jdsephine Brucker, Nina Houser, and Barbara Reymiller, had made important discoveries along the food line. Their most notable one was that smoke could be chemically treated and be made into a nutritious and appetizing breakfast food! As the population became more and more crowded a wonderful idea was advanced by two successful engineers Bob Jennings and Dick Beeson. Huge balloons were anchored in layers, one above the other, for almost a half mile up in the air. People were born and lived their lives in the houses attached to the b' lloons. A new variety of vegetables discovered by George Wenrick, Dorothy olmes, and Alice Klopfer, which lived and thrived on a special kind of gas used in the balloons, could be seen everywhere on the rounded spheres above the floating houses. The school room for the children of the workers in that marvel- 0.15 factory was a wonderful affair, and children began their school career at the age of one year. Jean Buchanan and Georgianna Mullendore were in charge of these youthful scholars. I was astonished at the great number of teachers for the oder children that I recognized. There was Robert Duncan, Ellen Mann, Virgil Huellman, Mary Brunetto, Theodore Salom, Helen Comer, Charlotte Schmidlapp, and Helen Thomas. In addition to this regular staff there were numerous special teachers. In the large, airy gym room I saw a group of old friends attempting to teach a disorderly crowd of youngsters some of the benefits of proper exercise. the laboring teachers were Jennie Helmer, Alberta Grosvenor, and Eleanor Babbitt. We passed through a screened door and entered the boys' division of the gym and there I recognized Clifford Blacke and Bob Lind. l 1 Thirty-Six f- -gjiqx . ,... ,W ' +' X-. ,W Jr ,If TTT C10 ' 5 T C c We l-iqucvnian as I was also shown the music class with Helen Young and Beatrice Trostel in charge, the art room, where jane Palmer instructed interested pupils in the mysteries of drawing, the voice class, where the students were listening in on a program transmitted by a marvelous instrument, invented and perfected by Ellis Elbrecht. The program was announced by Ruth Oblinger and consisted of solos and duets by the Famous Poif Teamf' Shirley and Willard. Their accompanists were Alverta Walker and Harry Oda. We next visited the dramatic class and there again I was confronted by old friends, among them Katherine Weber, Graham Morton, and Richard Grosvenor, all hurrying and shouting to the confused actors-in-the-making, as they were to give a play that afternoon. The music for the entertainment was to be furnished by Paul Cromer's orchestra, famous for its harmonious music and the beautiful vocal effects by its director. Another feature of the same program was to be a one man band, ,loe Sheridan. In addition, Miriam Goetsch and Margareita Hufford were to appear in a musical number. Another part of the large school system was the nursery for the children under one year of age. Trained nurses had charge of the babies and among them I recognized Zora Beaver, Mary Quick, and Louise Schneider. As we were walking down a hall I noticed a door marked Robert Bicker, Lawyer and was told that he had become the most famous lawyer and detective combined since the time of Sherlock Holmes! Another door we passed was labeled Social Service Department, but when I expressed a desire to see the manager of this group, I was told politely, that the department was always so busy that visitors were not encouraged. My guide named the more prominent workers, however, as Almeda Bertling, Rachel Hauschildt, Mildred Coon, and Neva Zirkle. Another interesting feature of this great factory was the ice department. Three influencial business men, Donald Dankwotth, Richard Ketchum, and Edward Reeder, had recognized the possibilities of changing sand into ice and had organized a huge business concern for that purpose. A large quantity of pure white sand was heated to a high temperature and then suddenly cooled by being poured into water, a pint at a time, and the result was a clear, glassy, formation from eight to twelve inches in length. This pointed cone was then fastened on a huge rack with thousands of others quite similar to it in size and shape. Then rack and all was dipped first into one and then into several other solutions prepared by Ed. Vollette. I was told that the cones were a form of ice that could be kept indefinitely and used as ordinary ice. These cones, or icicles, were sold in hundred and thousand lots to the people in the community. Of course the company needed some publicity for this business and had hired for this purpose two of the greatest advertising promoters known, John Carpenter and Russel Smith, to take care of their work for them. After visiting the ice plant I was shown the cloth department and was taken through the various steps in the manufacture of clothing, from the making of the cloth from the lining of milkweed pods and dewy spider webs until the finished garment was displayed on models and sold. After visiting the rooms where the filmy silken cloth was first woven by expert operators under the direction of Carl Ziegenfelder, I entered the room where the material was colored and printed.

Piquonj an 1Vf7-FNTTT' 3: xgffmfwrrfr Qlcr Q ,f-1 it rs-at .-1 l l Augusta Thoma and jane Bair were working at designs for the cloth. Their entire l stock of ideas came from the snowflakes they were examining under powerful I microscopes-and the finished design! Each was wonderful-unlike anything I have ever seen before or even hope to see again! l The manner in which these extraordinary people achieved their marvelous colors was a source of amazement and admiration to me. A large artificial sun was arranged behind several layers of glass prisms. The light from this sun was i broken and re-broken by having to pass through the glass, and as the beautifully colored rays fell on a dark, screen-like rack placed to catch them, they were separ- Z afed and grouped until each delicate shade was to be found in a separate section A ofthe screen. These various tints were then removed until the attendant, Dorotha ' Valentine, had a pint of each. The color containers were handed directly to Mary Van de Wege, who, by a secret process transferred the lovely tints to the cloth. From the coloring room we went to the room where the clothing was designed and there I found my friend, Helen Stiver. The dresses especially were charming 1 but I shall not attempt to describe them. In the room where the clothing was kept l in readiness for the models to show possible customers, I was greeted by a group of ld friends who were assistant bookkeepers in the huge dress concern and who i ere checking each garment carefully for their daily inventory. I saw among the lusy workers Margaret Mendleson, Frances B. Smith, Florence Hancock, Faye 'UVarwick, and Mildred Puterbaugh. My guide suggested that several of the dresses be shown to us by the models. l ll more than welcomed the idea, for among the models I saw Louise Koon, Ilogene l Morrow, Avenelle Patrick, and Jeanette Williams. Among the customers seated W round the room I saw Clara Mae Erb and was told that she was the head buyer ' or a large store. Two ladies in charge of handling the orders proved to be Martha vans and Wilma jean Bryan. While I was there a young man rushed in and emanded immediate attention-and got it! I thought he surely must be a valuable atron but my guide told me he was instead the best salesman the firm had-joe , Purdy! I happened to glance from the window and saw a large advertising truck outside and at the wheel sat Willie Landman, evidently impatient to be off. From the clothing department we went to the paper making plant. Scraps from the beautiful cloth were used in the finest of this paper and some of the finished products were exquisitely colored. Genevra Hanke was in charge and told me she had first become interested in paper making when she wrote her senior i essay on that subject. 1 Adjoining the paper mill was the local newspaper office. Their newspaper the Lively Local supplied all the gossip in that wonderful city. There were two sure fire reporters who were always on the go UD Paul Metz and Paul Williams. 1 The 'College Chats' column was taken care of by Irene Hill and Mary Himmelright. Anna Henderson also had a column entitled Debate Dates , while Frances L. Smith was the ambitious crime editor and something of an optimist, for she ex- pected to do big things in that position though the city had never had a crime and I did not even have prospects of one. Eleanor Spooner was the Society Editor while a column headed Beauty Bets was written by Betty and Betty, known to 1 me as Betty Vogler and Betty Thoma. And last, but surely not least, was the l .qu T-WTTTFT-'T-'TT T-'-'-TM if- ,-,,- ' l Thirty-Eight F2lqQTQefeiist.,.L Editor-in-Chief, yes-Charlotte Turner! It was said that when she applied for the place she offered as proof of her ability, the 1930 Annual. The .Commander-iw Chief, or whoever it was, took one look and said, The place is yours, you need a chance after that! I wondered just what was meant. We walked on down the hall to the Beauty Shop in the building. There, doing their best for those less CU fortunate than themselves I saw Louise Hudson and the famous hair dresser, Melford Gear. In one of the innumerable halls we passed an open door and I caught a glimpse of four people whom I knew, Dorothy Gurten, Mary Ellen Harmon, Fremont Thayer, and Kenneth Shuman, all C.P.As-ing as hard as they possibly could-for that is what they were, Certified Public Accountants. As we walked on through the building, I inquired who the architects were and was told that Herbert Kuppin and Jane Spencer were responsible for the structure. On our way to the Auto Mechanic Department I saw Anna Mary Elliott sitting behind a large, important looking desk. I saw by the lettering on her' door that she was conducting a special correspondence department for Y. W. C. A. girls. In the extensive auto mechanic room where Paul Blacke was the instructor, I was shown a marvelous car, designed by Bob Cron. It could easily reach a speed of 343 miles an hour, and often left the ground and held, and even increased its speed in the air. The inventor's business manager, Bob Neth, was confident that the car would soon be used for practical purposes. At the poultry farm we found john Rees in charge and William Kendall showed us some of the most remarkable fowls I have ever seen. There was an angora rooster with long, soft, curling hair of a beautiful buff and cream color. There was a queer looking creature of dark red with four long legs of dark brown, and a bald head of delicate blue. My guide, who seemed to be in a hurry, told me we would have time to visit only one other department, so I asked to see what had been done to advance flying. He took me to a room where a number of men were working around a huge machine. It looked to me like a switch engine but at a command from one of the workers, whom I saw was Tom McNeal, large, powerful wings unfolded from the sides. On the extreme top of the affair sat Paul Procter, waving his arms and yelling orders.' The 'airgine', for that was its name, started to move on its wheels down a track and as it passed Tom, he hopped aboard and took his place in the engine part of it. The airgine movezl on through an op en doorway. As it reached the open it rose swiftly into the air and in a short time was entirely lost to view. I turned to re-enter the building but saw before me my old friend the snail. He wiggled his horns for me to follow him and even as I obeyed I realized my ad- venture was over. Sooner than I can tell it, I was home in my own back yard, sitting on the grass and idly watching a snail as it trailed its silver threads over a big mossy rock. Florence Harvey, '3O.

Forty-Three CS IU CC H1 A INCE the world in general is being industrialized and Piqua is quite an industrial center, we are all very much interested in this line of business, which appeals pecially to high school graduates because they lcnow that large firms employ nly well educated men, and for certain types of work only specialists with a college r university education. The more important the industry, the better educated he employee must be. Everyone can work himself up to a high position but it an be done more quickly if he understands the business. Many of the alumni of Piqua High School have entered the field of industry nd some have won distinction in this field while increasing numbers are winning . Certain industries which have been started here by graduates of Piqua High 'e now nationally known and very prosperous. Among the leading industries of the city are the textile mills in which the umni are well represented. The four men who are the most prominent in these Leo M Flesh of the class of 1880 after graduating from high school attended ughkeepsie College after which he went into the retail trade for a time. He 'e Leo M. Flesh, Edgar A. Todd, William K. Leonard, and John P. Spilcer. t f this to organize the Atlas Underwear Company in 1899 and has been president nce its inception until within the last year. It is one of the large industrial ctories in Piqua and the prosperity of this concern can be attributed in a large easure to Mr. Flesh. He is also president of the Cron-Kills Company and of the , V. D. lnc. recently reorganized, which includes the Atlas and other underwear mmpanies. Due to his success, Mr. Flesh has been able to acquire one of the rgest and best private art collections in this section of the country. Edgar A. Todd graduated in the class of 1882 and went into the wallpaper siness with his father. He left this to start in business with Mr. Flesh and help ganize the Atlas Underwear Company. Since the beginning of this industry Piqua he has been vice-president and has given his entire attention to this wncern which has many branches throughout the United States and some offices foreign countries. William K. Leonard, a graduate of the class of 1884, took a course at Massa- liusetts Institute of Technology and then returned to Piqua for a short time. H re then went into the linseed oil business in Xenia, Ohio, after which he held a osition in a Piqua bank. He again entered the linseed oil business here and 1 1 Fofrty-Four me Trl- ,ei lf-irnifi-F 1-Gia an al F-T-f after that he entered the underwear industry at the Hosiery. He first held the position of secretary and advanced steadily until he is now president of the Hosiery Company, manufacturers of underwear and bathing suits in Piqua. john P. Spiker, graduated in the class of 1889 and has worked his way up to success. He traveled as a salesman for a time after graduation then went to Bowl- ing Green, where he became connected with the Superior Underwear Company, organized in 1889, and remained there for five years. The company then returned to Piqua and began the operation of a factory here. Mr. Spiker was at first vice- president but was later made president, an office which he still holds. He is also vice-president of the Cron-Kills Company and an executive in some of the other industries of Piqua. Several men may be mentioned among our alumni in Piqua who are outstand- ing in industries other than the textile industry. Among these are Leroy Hager, Allen Rundle, and Charles Upton. Leroy Hager, '97, graduated from O. S. U. after which he was in the employ of the Pennsylvania Railroad Co. for one and one half years. He then went into the ice business with his father in the only ice company that has continued in Piqua for any length of time. They had their ice-packing houses on Echo Lake and it was not until after the death of his father that he organized a company and built a plant for making artificial ice. The board then bought a site in Shawnee for their coal yards and this successful concern is now known as the Piqua Coal and Ice Company with Leroy Hager as the president. Allen Rundle, a graduate in the class of 1898, started in the Rundle Company as secretary after he had graduated from Exeter and held this position until the death of his father after which he became president. This company was incorpor- ated in 1897 and had its first factory on North Main Street. The second and present factory is a new, modern building on Caldwell Street which is very attrac- tive. This is a very successful industry and Pain Kingv, the medicine which they make, is internationally known. Charles B. Upton, '02, was with the Electric Light Company for some time after he graduated. He then took a position in the ofHce of the French Oil Mill and started under Mr. French to learn the business. He was promoted rapidly and is now vice-president and general manager of the company. Many of those graduating from the high school since 1900 are identified with industrial plants either in Piqua or elsewhere, no small number of them having taken special training for the work which they are doing, some at college, others at technical schools. Quite a number of these are connected with the textile industry in Piqua. W. B. Hanselman, '04, who at first held a position at the Troy Sun Shade Company later accepted the position he now holds at the Orr Felt Blanket Company. George Flesh, '12, graduated from college and after serving in the Personnel department of the Army during the World War, entered the Atlas Underwear Company in which he holds a good position. Walter Steinhilber, '20, is another alumnus connected with the textile industry and holds a position with the Hosiery. John Koester, '25, graduated from the Philadelphia School of Technology and is em- ployed at the Orr Felt and Blanket Company. Forty-Five i93?Qfff,,Jw, i . cf -flew + fielie? iq j' iff rf 1 ...af-..gf24r.9l9'9A'3.fi1iDJ',.f Among the younger alumni in other industries in Piqua, there are Sam Louis, '14, and Ralph Louis, '18, who both hold positions at the Paper Box Factory, ester Flowers, '16, who took an I. N. C. Course in drafting and after working as machinist was given the position of draftsman at the French Oil Mill where he ow holds the position of first assistant to the head draftsmang Charles Magee, '22, and Walter Magee, '23, who have held positions at the Magee Printing Com- pany. Walter Magee will leave shortly for Chicago to accept a position there. Not all of those who have made names for themselves in industry have re- lnained in Piqua. In an article such as this only a few of them can be men- .ioned. An alumnus of great importance outside of Piqua is john W. Daniels of the class of 1874. He is now a prominent member on the board of a Linseed Oil Company of St. Paul, Minnesota. Mr. Orr, Mr. Leonard, and Mr. Daniels es- tablished a linseed oil mill here in 1880, soon after Mr. Ort and Mr. Leonard withdrew and the Piqua mill was consolidated with another company having head- quarters in St. Paul, His firm now holds with another firm, a monoply of this industry and he is a very wealthy man whose name is widely and favorably known. John M. Spencer, another success industrially, graduated in 1901 and attend- Eg Wooster College, receiving his degree in 1905. He was first identified with the roy Umbrella and Canopy Company. Later he helped organize the Hobart Manufacturing Company and was elected secretary in 1908 and has advanced to the position of vice-president and sales manager. This concern has branches all over the United States and in some foreign countries. Roger Emmert graduated in 1911 and worked a year before he entered Case School of Applied Science. When he completed the course in Electrical Engineer- ing he then accepted a position with the Westinghouse Company at Pittsburgh. 'When war was declared in 1917 he went to Washington to work in the department gun designing where he invented a 12-inch gun used extensively throughout War. After he came back he worked at the Remey Electrical Company in Indiana, and from this position he was promoted to the positionrof Manager and later president of the Dayton Branch of General Motors. is also connected with the new radio department of the Dayton Radio Cor- Many younger alumni of Piqua High are working in industries outside of Ray Klopher, 1918, is employed at the Delco Light Company at Dayton. Craig, 1917, is working in the Ohio Public Service, an electrical company Ohio. Walter Graham, 1922, is metalurgist in the Rolling Mill at Ohio. Doyle Leffel, 1908, is in the Finance Department of General Robert Himmelright, '16, and Paul Himmelright, '08, are with the Monarch ubber Co., of Canton, Ohiog Joe McCurdy, '15, is a chemist at the Frigidaire lant at Dayton, john Whitlock, '14, is employed at the American Rolling Mill o., at Zanesville.

Adams Co., in Indian- polis, Ind., james Dagenhardt, '13, is an electrical engineer employed in the he Louis Allis Co., and Clarence Haines, '21, is employed in an important osition by the Hobart Bros. of Troy. These are only a few of the many who might be mentioned if time and space ere not both limited, but enough to show that P. H. S. can well be proud of her lumni who are in industry.

This festival was held on Friday and Saturday. May sixteenth and seventeenth. The following nine schools were represented: Springfield ' Celina St. Marys Sidney Urbana Greenville Bradford Troy Marsh Foundation Besides these there were two bands from Piqua. Piqua was one of the pioneers of this movement in the state of Ohio. As a result this school took the initiative in inviting the surrounding towns to be its guests. This event was not a contest to see which school had the better band but a festival for the promotion of goodwill and friendship between the towns and cities. The money which was taken in at the concert was spent in the entertainment of the bands in Piqua. The Board of Education, Mr. Dietrich, and Mr. Gates, who were the prime directors of this movement, sponsored this festival. The three hundred boys and girls arrived on Friday afternoon. They went to the park for a brief rehearsal after which they were entertained with a banquet at a local church. At this time with the help of Piqua boys they found the homes at which they were to spend the night. At 8 o'ciock the concert was held at Fountain park. The program under the direction of Mr. Fillmore, guest conductor, was as follows: Americans We ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, ,,sss,, .

After this concert a general reception and dance was given at the Elks' Hall to which all the high school girls had been invited. On Saturday at 10 o'clock all the bands assembled at Central High and in fixed formation marched through the streets on parade. This concluded the program and the bands returned to their respective homes each boy thinking his band to be better than any other, proud of its contribution to this successful event, and looking forward to a similar affair next year. However the outstanding feature of the festival was the personal appearance of Henry Fillmore, famous band master and radio broadcaster. Mr. Fillmore, who is also a noted composer of band pieces, with his dog Mike, is well known to Piquads as he has directed the Piqua High School Band on previous occasions. Mr. Fillmore, who was guest conductor, directed all the numbers on the program. As a result of his efforts and the work of Mr. Gates the festival was considered by everyone to be a decided success. A wonderful interest was shown by the parents and citizens of Piqua which proved that they are proud of their local talent. Irene Hill, '30.

It grows more popular each year and is calledglilpon to fill many engagements in this community. Each member has proved himself a loyal worker and is always ready to respond to the things asked of him. The band supported the football team at every game and also played for the home basketball games. It played for the merchants' spring and fall openings in Piqua, and for the fall openings in Bradford and St. Paris. The band was a great help also in the Field Day events as well as in leading the parade to Roosevelt Park. The twelfth Annual Band Concert was given on March 28. It was very interesting and was a success in every way. The Girls' Glee Club and the Junior Band also took part in this program. The proceeds from this concert were used to buy new equipment and to defray the expenses of the year.

K e y This year's band was composed of forty-one members and had well balanced sections with a large range of instruments.

Orchestra HE Piqua High School Orchestra is a musical organization under the direction of Philip P. Gates which has achieved success for many years. Many people do not realize what a big part a high school orchestra occupies in school activities. It is a Very important factor in student enterprises such as the operetta, class play, commencement, school entertainments, and at special times like Thanksgiving and Christmas. With the exception of an oboe the orchestra has a regular symphonic line up. There are very few high schools that can say this and Piqua students are exceedingly proud to be able to do so. Piqua Hi has now purchased an oboe and it is hoped that in the very near future, some student in the orchestra will be able to play it. The music played this year has been numbers of standard selections. At first the goal which was set seemed unattainable, but through hard work and through the tireless patience of the leader, the goal now seems much nearer. The orchestra has two regular practices every week but many times it has three and four when it plays for special occasions. The successful work of this organization is due largely to the efforts of the director, Philip Gates. He is not only an excellent leader but is also a finished musician himself, which fact accounts for the splendid repertoire of music which has been given this year. Mr. Gates not only encourages all the members, but tries to help them to correct their faults. Many of the present members have played not only in the orchestra but also in the junior and grade school orchestras. There are many young musicians in these junior organizations which indicates that there will never be any need to be without an orchestra in high school. But although much time is spent on music, much more in fact than on some other subjects, no credit is given for the work. Now that the high school life of the seniors is nearly ended, those who are in the orchestra wish to thank both Piqua Hi and their leader for the help which they have received. They realize that they have gained much valuable experience through this organization. It is the wish of all the senior members that the future pupils will be able to look back at their years in the orchestra with as much pleasure as they do. A V 5.

The club consists of twenty-seven members who gained this honor by passing a voice test at the beginning of the school year. The club is small this year as the chorus is such a vital factor in our school that Mr. Gates has become more particular about whom he chooses for this work. All those interested in singing are eligible for chorus so the glee club is more select. lt is used for special occasions where it would be impossible to use any organization as large as the chorus. The meetings which are held every Thursday afternoon at three-twenty in the auditorium are always well attended and very much enjoyed. If a member is absent from three of these meetings without a good excuse she is automatically dropped from the roll. Each member must check her absences with the secretary. At the beginning of the year the following officers were chosen: President .... .......,..,.,.,, ,,.,.,.,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, .,.,,,,, , , , Shirley Poff Secretary-Treasurer ..,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,.,.,,.,.,,, ,Marjorie Fisher Sargent-At-Arms ,,,,,,,, ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,i.,.,.,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, I ane Palmer During the meetings Mr. Gates often gives pointers on correct breathing, posture, placement of tones and other important factors in the art of good singing. These suggestions are very much appreciated by the girls. The club has always been very successful as a result of the capable leadership of Mr. Gates who takes great interest in selecting music for the organization. This year the girls have made four appearances. At the Christmas entertain' ment put on by the Dramatic Club they sang carols from the balcony accompanied only by a flute which made the singing very effective. In the Variety Show the Girls' and Boys' Glee Clubs staged a very clever act called The Last Rehearsal . Several solos were taken by those in the clubs and then the combined clubs came in on the chorus. This was a very commendable piece of work and all those who took part were very much interested in it. Another important appearance for the girls was the Annual Band Concert at which time they sang Peer Gynt Suite by Edward Greig and as an encore sang the Italian Street Song with the solo very capably taken by Shirley Poff. They looked very picturesque in their black and white costumes and were very well received as they have always been. They also sang for the Baccalaureate Service as their last appearance. Congenial friendship and cooperation have helped to make this club one of the most interesting of all those in high school.

The Chorus HE chorus is the largest organization in Piqua High School. This year there are about three hundred and fifty students enrolled, a condition which shows the great interest of the student body in it. Any student in the high school who is interested in music may belong, as it is not necessary to take a voice test as the members of the glee clubs must do. It is made up of all voices, first and second oprano, alto, first and second tenor, baritone, and bass. The purpose of the chorus is to create a desire among the students for better music and to cultivate the voices of all those who are interested and who wish to take part in the singing. This organization meets twice each week, during activities periods on Mondays 'ind Fridays. This gives one hour each week for practice. When the chorus was first re-organized it began singing light numbers but because of the interest and co-operation on the part of the students, more difficult compositions were attempted with such fine results that now its greatest interest is in oratorios. Last year with the aid of hired soloists, L'Elijah by Mendelsohn was presented in the Chautauqua auditorium at Fountain Park. This was the first time Piqua High had ever attempted such a difficult piece of work. The efforts of Mr. Gates and the students were not in vain for it proved to be a great uccess. The early part of this year's work consisted of the numbers: Send Out Thy Light by Gounod. Dear Land of Freedom from the Sextet from Lucia by Donizetti. The Rose Maiden by Cowen. At the beginning of the second semester the oratorio Creation by Haydn was begun. It is the story, in music, of the creation of the earth as it is told in Genesis. The characters represented are: Gabriel, sopranog Uriel, tenorg Raphael, bass, Adam, bassg Eve, soprano. The story is introduced by the re- presentation of chaos and then it gives in detail each work of God as He created the heaven and the earth and the condition of each in the beginning. It tells how the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters and God said, 'Let there be light' and there was light. A new-created world springs up at God's command and in each new day God created something new to make the world a very beautiful and comfortable place in which to live. The first day He created the light, the second day He made the firmament and divided the waters which were under the firmament from the waters which were above the firmamentg the third day He made the dry land and the herbsg the fourth day God created the l ghts which were the sun and the moong the fifth day the living creatures were created, and on the sixth day He created man in his own image, male and female created He them and made them to rule over all the other creatures He had created. It ends with the chorus singing Sing the Lord, ye voices all, in praise for His marvelous works. This oratorio was presented to the public in the Chautauqua auditorium af Fountain Park on the second day of June. The solos were taken by members of the chorus which showed some more of the talent and ability of the students. They were: Willard Poff, tenorg Paul Cromer, baritone, Shirley Poff and Zora Beaver, sopranos. The trio composed of Willard Poff, Melford Gear, and Paul Cromer sang The Lord is Great and On Thee each living soul awaits . There are few high schools which attempt such a difficult piece of work and Piqua High owes rnuch of its growth and success in music to the hard and steady work of Mr. Gates. Zora Beaver, '30.

The organization had rehearsals y Friday afternoon at the fifth period and a great deal of work has been ac xplished during that time. This year the glee club took part in the grand finale of the Variety Show and lled the audience with its rollicking rendition of the Rangers Song . The s also sang in the choruses of the Italian Street Song and the Song of the you At the Band Concert the boys again showed their worth by entertaining the crowd during the intermission. From this group of fellows a popular trio was originated. This harmony 1, better known as the Sweitzer Cheese Triof' was composed of Ellis Elbrecht . Cromer, and Willard Poff. They appeared at the Variety Show and the Band icert and have filled numerous broadcasting engagements. The Boys' Glee Club has worked hard this year but none of the members that the work was done in vain. Many helpful and interesting things were ned during the rehearsals that will help all the fellows, no matter what profes ythey choose as their life work. lThe personnel of the Glee Club is: First Tenors Joseph Sheridan Willard POE Robert Cron Forest Schmiddlapp Paul Cromer Paul Cooper Roger Miller Roger Polly l Albert Elliott joseph Rengel Robert Bicker Wilford Beckert Second Tenors john Carpenter Melford Gear Robert Neth Baritones Paul Cromer George Cameron Paul Proctor Bass Kenneth Mclviaken Fredrick Miller Earnest McClannon Arthur Cooper Ellis Elbrecht Willard Poff, 30 F iffy-Six ATHLETICS 'f'-ffIf'f 'f1'.lf5Q'.-yu'' ' 'M v A v.:gg'.!gg-1,:.',-. ,j,-,.:t ,fm .: '. f.'11f4'-- ' ' 'T'-pZ4 fs1si5?::f: ff --. 7 Q A., ' i:,:.g.,.3-435 ' U ' , -, Q 1' - Q--4 .:Lf' . - 5 5, , -117 .f ,af W' :-If' A i' rw H' 'F' ' .

The opener was excellent evidence of what to expect for the rest of the season. After three periods of hard fighting, the Urbana boys succumbed to the superior team and to the heat. ln the final period, Piqua scored twice and resorted to punting on the first down defense, which seemed to hold the railroad gang. The second game, however, was the downfall of the confident Indians. After scoring with seeming ease in the first quarter the Piqua boys appeared to lose all interest in the game. St. Marys came back in the second half to even up the score and keep the ball for the remaining time. The final gun found Piqua on the very small end of a 7-7 tie. Officially, it was a tie, but it really was a moral defeat. RAMSEY LEEQ CROMER Fi fry-N ine Qiil -s gfigfffljr LIND JENNINGS Purmr HOBLIT Xenia, the first league team to be met in the 1929 season, was literally snowed under. The team which last year held Piqua to a scoreless tie was unable this year tb do better than keep them from scoring more than 34 points. The only high- light in the game was Captain Smittlels recovery of an attempted field goal and his subsequent run of 106 yards for a touch down. The next two to meet the Redskin onslaught were Greenville and Sidney. In the Greenville game, a mixed attack proved to be only too successful. Piqua piled up 40 points to completely overwhelm the Big Green out-fit. Sidney proved to be a much tougher proposition. The boys were playing on their home grounds, they had a chance to spurt into first place in the Miami Valley League Tournament, they were dedicating their new stadium, in fact they had every incentive to win, and it was only a well placed field goal in the closing minutes of the game that salved the day for Piqua. w l Lima South got off to a good start but all to no avail. The team scored in the first minute of play and then were stopped dead in their tracks. Piqua scored twice in second and once in the third period to run the score up to Z0-6. l ' Monnls Burrs ZIGENFELDEK Sixty A is fiicigiiiiief P or Plauwnian Hr. ef A ff x'-'uw' :E-A +-Xa' f-412 -1' E---'- Commoiu Wrncox Cnow Pnocron In the annual home coming Piqua won the fourth consecutive league game. As Miamisburg was touted one of the most difficult teams in the league to be scored on, Piqua's 47-O victory was one of the big upsets of the season. Even the Bexley High Lions failed to have enough stuff to stop the irresistible off-tackle smashes. Piqua, in the pink of condition and form, completely over- balanced Bexley High's advantage of weight and experience with fight and deter- mination. Piqua scored three times and added still another point via the place kick route. The Z1-6 victory over the traditional rival, Troy, frlleth the cup to over- flowing . Piqua scored twice in the second and once in the final period. Three points were added by the three trys for point after touch down. Troy's single counter came late in the third quarter, when Hoover, following perfect interference, managed to return Cron's punt some sixty odd yards to a touchdown. Tom Ramsey, '30.

When Coach Wertz issued a call for basketball candidates, thirty or forty fellows reported, including Neth, Blacke, Ramsey, Proctor, and McClannan of last year's squad. With these men and the aid of several others, Coach Wertz built up this year's team, which made a better showing than the figures indicate. After only a week's practice Piqua won her first game of the season from Covington, but it was easy to see that the team was still in need of practice in hand- ling the ball. In the next few games it showed some improvement, but not quite enough to down Steele. Then, after topping Pleasant Hill in a brilliant manner the team lost to Urbana and to the Alumni, the latter having a great many old stars of P. H. S. Troy proved to be the next victim of the Indians, the boys playing in fine style to best their oldest rival. After bowing to St. Paris and Miamisburg the boys came out of their slump to win in good style over Greenville in a hard fought game. The opposition then grew stronger and not until the second game with Troy did we come out of conflict with a victory, having in the meantime lost to Fairview, Lima Central, Springfield, and Sidney. The Indians ended their regular schedule with a victory over Lima after two defeats, which were at the hands of Xenia and Eaton. The team entered the district tournament and was beaten by Greenville by a close margin. This ended the basketball season for Piqua High. The team this year was followed by a fair sized crowd of rooters, both at home and abroad, thus receiving a much appreciated support. In mid season injuries crippled the team somewhat by taking out Bob Neth and Tom Ramsey, two stars. I-Iowever, the substitutes were on the alert and handled their positionsiwith great a acrity. The men that played this season were: Bob Neth, Paul Proctor, Dale Karns, Tom Ramsey, Cliff Blacke, Ernie McClannan, Bob Bicker, Ed. Crim, Bob Carder, UK. Y. Williams, lim Waring, and Gordon Atkinson. Those lost through graduation are Neth, Proctor, Ramsey, McClannan, Bicker and Blacke.

Piqua opened the season with a bad start by losing to Houston by a big score. This game was played April 7, and as it was the boys' first game, we can't pass too severe judgment upon them because of this defeat. The next game with St. Paris on April 9 was a close one in which Piqua proved her strength, defeating St. Paris by one run. On April 12, Pleasant Hill invaded Piqua and took home the bacon , to the tune of 18 to 2. This was a bad defeat but Piqua looked forward to a return game, when the fans prophesied a different score. The game played with Eaton on April 17 was a fast, light game and only by hard battling did Piqua come out on top with the winning score. In the return game with Pleasant Hill, April 23, the Indians won with a score of 18 to 5, for they went to Pleasant Hill with a lot of fight as well as a desire for revenge. The next game was played at home against DeGraff, April 25, and was another close game which Piqua won by a one point margin. On April 30, Sidney invaded Piqua but after the game they left much meeker than when they came. Piqua played good baseball and was 7 runs in the lead when the game ended. The next game was played May 2 at Bellefontaine. The upstaters were leading 4 to 3 at the last of the sixth inning and after a hard attack added 3 more runs making the score 7 to 3. At the beginning of the inning Piqua started a belated attack that fell short by one run of tying the score. On May 7th, the team invaded St. Paris for a second game and lost with a rather lopsided score. It is evident that the St. Paris lads were out for revenge and got it, too. Considering that there was not an over supply of baseball material in high school this year, Coach Wertz deserves a lot of credit for the showing his team made.

However Ramsey returned long enough to ir with Bicker to win the doubles, and be runner-up in the singles in the Miami lley tournament. Ramsey captained the team this year. The first match was with our ancient rival, Troy, and was won, after a great hill battle by Bicker and Vollette. The next match was with last year's champi- s, Sidney. Piqua was defeated 5-O, but has hopes of revenge in the return etch. The following match was with Tipp City. The outcome of this was in bt until the end. Piqua was defeated 3-2. Then the Miami Valley tourna- nt was played in which Piqua and Sidney shared the honors. There are yet be played, matches with Sidney and Troy, and the Dayton District meet. As Mr. Mote was unable to schedule any Dayton teams, only five matches were played. Those who played this year are: Tom Ramsey, Bob Biclcer, Ed Vollette, Bill Zollinger, and Bob DeWeese.

Sixty-Eight 1 1 l I ' Golf THE Golf Season of 1930 opened with the first signs of spring and immediately the golf team of Piqua High went into action. The team is composed of the same veterans that won the district meet at Dayton last year and placed third at the state meet at Columbus. A good schedule of matches was made early in the spring with the high schools of Troy, Sidney, Stivers, Celina, Fairview of Dayton, and Arlington of Columbus. The season started officially when Piqua met Fairview on the home course on April 17 and won a wide margin. The Indians proved their ability in this sport by defeating six successive foes with a possibility of going through the entire season without a defeat. The team played nine matches altogether and journeyed to Columbus for the state meet on May 23. At Dayton on May 10 this team won the Miami Valley team trophy for low team score, and Wilcox, Piqua's stellar golf man, won the individual low man trophy. The line up for the Piqua team is as follows: Robert Wilcox, Richard Kerns, Ben Kerns, Leo Wilcox, and Charles Allen, CCaptj.

P Sixty-Nine HQHGH1 Xl- x.,-N, .ZA N lnter-Mural Basketball NE of the outstanding athletic events of the year was the annual Interclass Basketball Tournament held soon after the high school season was over. The boys entered into the play with fine spirit and the games were followed with interest by the other students. The teams were divided into three classes: Class A for boys over 125 pounds in weight, Class B for boys between 100 and 125 pounds, and Class C for boys under 100 pounds. n Both the Wilder and the Central gyms were used for the games, and the con- tests were handled very capably by Tom Ramsey, Bob Neth, Ernest McClannan and Louis Coppock. r There were twenty-six teams in all, each team being limited to six players. There were Z3 games played, only one forfeit being called. The games were played over a period of five evenings, and over 150 boys who had no other chance to play basketball took part in them. The Class C division, consisting of nine teams of junior high boys, was won by a team from Wilder, called the West End Fliers, made up of boys who show promise of making very good players when they come to senior high school. They went through all opposition with little trouble, piling up easy victories in every game. The members of the West End Fliers' team were McMaken, Weber, White, May, Folk, and Yenney. The Class B division, made up of larger boys from junior high and smaller boys from senior high, was won by a team of Central boys. They won very easily, being much larger and more experienced than the other teams. This team in- cluded Stromenger, Beeson, Rittenhouse, Cuppinger and Morrow. The best competition, naturally, was in the Class A division composed of 13 teams of boys who had not won a letter in basketball this season. There were several good teams in the competition and many hard-fought games were played. A team of rangy lads called the Clowns copped the honors by defeating another favored team called the Panthers. The championship team is composed of Williams, Captain, Metz, Cromer, Butts, and Caldwell. The runners-up are Browning, Beaver, Ziegenfielder, Stoute and Hart. The final score of this game was 26-21, and as the score indicates, was a very good game. Another team to be mentioned is the Championship Central Junior High Basketball team which went through the Junior High Tournament without a de- feat The members of this team who received letters are: Shimp, Purdy, Hecker- man French, Ratcliff, Boyd, and Packman. These boys played some real basket- ball and will be a big asset to future Central High basketball teams. They were coached by Mr. Mote. These tournaments are of special value and interest because of the large number of boys who have a chance to play, and because they often reveal promis- ing material for the regular team.

Senior Lettermen CHARLES ALLEN-Golf, '29 and '30. Charley is the only member of our crack golf team who graduates this year. He is one of the reasons for our golf team winning nearly every match last year and for its good showing this year. CLIFF BLACKE-Basketball, '29 and '30. Cliff came through as high point man for the team this year and played good basketball the whole season in spite of the fact it was not an entirely successful one. BOB BICKER-Tennis, '28, '29, '30, PAUL CROMER-Football, '28 and '29. Cromer was a half on the football team and a fast one. When he got loose the only way in which the opponents could bring him down was to get a gun. BOB CRONvFootball, '27, '28, '29. Bob captained the 29 football team through a no-defeat season. His hard plunging and smooth broken-field running as full- back made him one of the best back-field men ever to graduate from Piqua High. ART HOBLlTfFootball, '28, '29. Art played tackle and played it well enough to win two letters in football. BOB JENNINOS-Football, '28, '29. Bob at tackle caused many opposing teams trouble with his fight and speed. DICK KETCHUM-Baseball manager, '30, Dick had a hard job keeping check on all the baseball equipment such as bats, uniforms, etc., but he managed it well. BOB LIND-Football, '28, and '29. Bob played tackle in '28, but changed to end in '29, and was selected for that position on the All Miami Valley League team. ERNEST MCCLANNAN-Football, '28, basketball, '30, baseball, '28. Ernie's long shots from the middle of the floor counted for a large number of, Piqua's points this year. TOM MCNEAL-Football, '28 and '29. With Tom at right guard there were very few plays run through that position by opposing teams. PAUL METZ-Football, '28. Metz's speed and ability to pull down passes won a letter for him in '28. CHARLES MORRIS-Football, '28 and '29. Charley was the little strong man of the football team. Playing at guard he ruined the disposition of players twice his size. GRAHAM MORTON-Tennis manager, '29 and '30. Morton worked hard and kept the courts in good shape all season. BOB NETHfFootball, '29, basketball, '28 and '29, baseball, '28. Neth's heady football and clever field-generaling as quarter-back in '29 was one of the main reasons for Piqua having an undefeated team. PAUL PROCTOR-Football, '29, basketball, '30, tennis, '29. Paul was the hard- plunging diminutive half, whose ability to pick holes in the line won him a letter in football in '29. JOE PURDY-Football '28, and '29. Joe is the All Miami-Valley tackle whose weight worried many opponents. TOM RAMSEY-Football, '28 and '29, basketball, '30, baseball, '28, track, '29, '30, tennis, '28, '29, '30. Tom was the all round athlete who had a knack of doing well in every thing he undertook. JOE SHERIDAN-joe was a hustler and kept things in good shape around the track last year. ED. VOLLETTEeTennis, '29 and '30. Ed. came to Piqua High School too late to enter into sports very much but his ability as a tennis player brought him two letters in that sport. CARL ZIEGENFELDER-Football, '29. Ziegie's height gave him the advantage over most fellows at the end position which he held down well in all ways. Bob Bicker, '30. Seven ty-Three 1 Sli H0111 GL L ...L fi -1 s.F 1 cf QQWW ec Z-Xi-LXXNJA Pmsmlsa pt ic Girls' Athletics REAT enthusiasm was shown throughout the entire semester in regard to girls' athletics. The reason for this unusual situation was due to the re- organizing of the girls, athletic association again this year. The major sports enjoyed by the girls were: basketball, captainball, baseball, track and tennis. Other forms of training were also taught. Captainball was the first major sport this semester, and started off in fine shape. After a few weeks of practice the tournament was held, the round-robin system being used. All four classes put up a good hard fight, but after a long fought game the seniors were the champions. As the seasons of the year progress so must sports. This time attention was turned to basketball, the most interesting and best liked indoor sport among girls. After the different managers were chosen the teams got down to hard work and put the real athletic spirit into their games. The tournament was then held, it was played by elimination. At the end of this first group of games the sophomores and juniors were the winners, but after these two winning teams had played, it was found that the sophomores were left far behind and the juniors carried away all laurels. Baseball although a very old sport has aroused an unusual amount of interest. After the preliminary work-out, the teams were anxiously awaiting the oncoming games, which proved to be very interesting. Fine sportsmanship was shown throughout the tournament. Much credit is due to the losing teams for their ability to retain their pep and vigor through all the games. As the month of May approached all attention was turned to the May Day track meet. Strenuous practice was necessary to compete with inter-classmen. The events such as relays, dashes, high jumping, and running broad jump were run off in a systematic order. This meet is looked forward to from one year to the next as one of the most important events of the school year. This is not only of interest to junior and senior high school students but to grade school students as well. After the May Day celebration the attention turned toward tennis. In previ- ous years this has proved to be one of the most popular of outdoor sports. This year, however, its popularity has suffered because of other school activities. Inter- class games were scheduled and several sets were played off, both singles and doubles. Several girls at the end of the semester received letters for their athletic work, most of these girls being seniors. Many of the underclassmen, however, are piling up their points in hope that they may too secure one of the letters for which all girls strive so hard. Now that another school semester has closed the girls find that they have improved not only mentally but physically as well, and that athletics is a good place in which to find oneself and play the game.

The purpose of this society is to set an example that will lead others to aspire to scholarly habits, encourage rendering of service, and help develop leadership and character. ' There are nine members of the class of '30, in the Piqua Chapter of this society: Anna Mary Elliott, Florence Harvey, Rachel Hauschildt, Anna Henderson, E1 anor Spooner, Helen Thomas, Charlotte Turner, Katherine Weber and Rciibert Duncan. ' At the annual banquet which was held the last of May in 1929 the following wire initiated: Florence Harvey, Rachel Hauschildt, Anna Henderson, and H ,len Thomas. The following officers were elected: Helen Thomas, president, Florence Harvey, vice-president, Rachel Hauschildt, secretary, Miss Upton, treasurer. The first meeting of the members of the class of '30, was held October 25, at th home of the president, Helen Thomas. Those initiated then were: Anna M ry Elliott, Eleanor Spooner, Charlotte Turner, and Katherine Weber. At th 1930 annual banquet to which all members, both active and alumni, are in- vit d, several juniors were initiated and new officers elected. 'V 1 The Piqua Chapter of the society was organized in 1922. At that time nine students were elected to membership. Since then, eighty-one students have re- ceived membership, the members being chosen by a committee of the faculty. Honor Society members are supposed to make a success of anything they undertake. Almost all the members of the Piqua Chapter have done something of which the school may be proud, either by receiving honor in college or achieving success in the work which they have chosen as a career.

The national society was founded at the University of Iowa in 1926 and although Piqua obtained a charter last spring, it was then too late to take in any members, so the first ones were initi- ated early this year. Election to this organization is quite an honor and well worth striving for. First of all, there are several qualifications which a member must have. These are: he must be either a junior or senior in classification, he must be in the upper third of his class scholasticallyg he must have done outstanding work in writing, editing, or business management, he must be recommended by the supervisor, and finally, he must be approved by the national secretary of the society. ln each school, there must be some method of determining just who has done the outstanding literary work required, so a point system has been worked out to be used in our school. Under this system, a candidate receives six points a hundred words for every story or article which is published either in the Piquonian or Saturday Edition of the Call, five points for every original joke published, fifty points for an original cover cut, three points for every four lines of poetry, each member of the Piquonian staff receives fifty points an issue with the exception of the editor-in-chief and the business manager who receive a hundred points each. Three hundred points are required for elegibility to membership in the organization. The four charter members of the society who were taken in at the beginning of the year are: Florence Harvey, Bob Neth, Eleanor Spooner, and Charlotte Turner. Later several others were initiatedfjanice Havemann, lrene Hill, Graham Morton, Jane Palmer, Shirley Poff, Tom Ramsay, and joe Sheridan. Eleanor Spooner, '30.

Eligibility for membership in this society is based upon participation in forensic activities such as debating, oratory, and declamation. A sum total of ten credit points is necessary to become a member of the League. The members of the Piqua Chapter are as follows: Graham Morton, Katherine Weber, Viginia Row, Frances L. Smith, Eleanor Spooner, Edith Weber, Robert Hydeman, Anna Henderson, Anna Mary Elliott, Theora Rousseau, Charlotte Turner, Helen Thomas, Jane Funderburg, Ethel Long, Fletcher Moffett, and Theodore Gray. i There are four degrees conferred upon the members of the League. The Degree of Merit is for students having from ten to thirty credit points, the Degree of Honor for students having from thirty to sixty points, the Degree of Excellence for students having from sixty to one hundred points, and the Degree of Distinc- tion for students having one hundred points or more. All members of the Piqua Chapter have the Degree of Merit while Graham Morton, Katherine Weber, and Frances L. Smith have attained the Degree of Honor and Anna Henderson has attained the Degree of Excellence. The League this year mourns the loss of one of the charter members, Earl Flmn, '27, who died at Lima, December 20, 1929. After graduating from Piqua, he won honor for himself in debating at Purdue University where he was a student until failing health compelled him to withdraw. For those who have achieved membership in this society or for those who desire to do so, it should be an incentive to know that the National Forensic League is a forerunner of the honorary forensic fraternities of colleges and uni- verslties.

The enrollment was much larger than it has been for several years and it has seemed that the freshman and sophomore classes were taking a much better interest in the debate work than ever before. Meetings were held every Tuesday during the activities period. At these meetings many different phases of debate work were discussed. These discussions trained the members to think and to express their thoughts in words. Each week certain assignments were made to the various members of the club. At the follow- ing meeting reports were given on these subjects. Rebuttal points were also read and discussed at the meetings and the instructor taught the members of the club how to write their speeches, and explained the best way of delivering them. The question for debate this year was: Resolved, that a trial by judge or board of judges should be substituted for trial by a petit jury in the United States. The members, representing the affirmative side, were: Ethel Long, Katherine Weber, Edith Weber, Anna Henderson, Adeline Washing, jane Funderburg, Rex Bell, Marie Hayes, John Carpenter, Richard Grosvenor, and Robert Duncan. The members, representing the negative side, were: Graham Morton, Frances Louise Smith, Eleanor Spooner, Helen Thomas, Robert Binford, Adeline Wills, Florence Kastner, Anna Mary Elliott, and Harold Crump. During this season Piqua has held non-decision debates with Sidney and Greenville in order to give the debaters practice in speaking before an audience. Then, too, in the Ohio State Debating League, Piqua was scheduled for six debates. She won the debates with Springfield, Oak Grove, Gettysburg, Gsborn, and Yellow Springs, which was forfeited, and she lost debates with Troy and Greenville. This debating club is of great value, and promises to be even more beneficial in the future than it has in the past.

I HE Dramatic Club, under the able direction of Miss Huddlestun, has closed I one of the most active years in its history. There were fourteen meetings 1 htld this year with an average attendance of llO members. I The first meeting was held on Qctober the first at which time Shirley Poff was 1 I elected president, Faye Warwick, vice presidentg Jeanne Bryan, secretary and tneasurerg and Dick Grosvenor chairman of the program committee, with Graham I Morton and Virginia Heater as his assistants. I The object of the programs this year has been to give the members not only I an opportunity to see worth while plays but to get an idea of some of the technique I used in producing a play. The art of make-up with a complete demonstration was one of the outstanding programs. Other extremely interesting talks and de- monstrations were given on scenic design, marionettes, talking pictures, and little I theaters. All of these talks were carefully planned and it is believed that the members received much valuable information from them. , Members responded well to the try-outs for the parts in the various one-act 1 plays which the club gave and in each there were about twenty-five participants. ' Miss Huddlestun tried to be as fair as possible in the distribution of parts in order 1 to give every person some part in a play. There were some very clever plays given, among which were The Under-dog , Thursday Evening , Speaking to I Father , and Pink and Patches . I - The money that was made on the 'ICharm School last year was used to buy I a eautiful black satin cyclorama drop that played an important part in the stage I eff .ct in the Variety Show in which so many of the members took part. I The seniors who have been members of the club this year feel that they are taking with them many benefits and many pleasant memories, and in parting they wish it every future success.

One of the most outstanding programs of the year was a meeting at which a delightful account of Paris was given by Miss Mary McKinney. She mentioned especially the beautiful buildings and the unique customs which the French have, including the way they sell bread and take their clogs and cats to the theater. Miss McKinney also described the queer markets while pictures of the different points of interest were being shown. At another meeting just before the holidays an interesting program was arranged including a story about Christmas in France given by Cvenevra Hanke and Le Dudon de Noel,', told by Mary Eleanore Himmelright. George Cameron also gave a flute solo which was greatly enjoyed by the club. One of the most delightful social features of the year was the Uwiener roast which was held at Millerls Grove on the Old Troy Pike last fall. Each member Eontributed twenty-five cents towards the expense of the outing which was enjoyed y all. Other social diversions during the year which proved to be very entertaining were cross-word puzzles, games, and singing the national French song, the Marseillaise. Alverta Walker, '30.

M artha Angelo Plans for the programs were discussed and it was decided to review Emily Post's book on etiquette at the meetings to be held every two weeks on Thursday. The girls regretted very much that several of the meetings had to be postponed because of other activities but they anticipated the next meeting all the more eagerly. Each program consisted of three or four talks on different chapters of the book. Many difficult social problems were discussed and the girls learned a great deal about the proper way of making introductions, making formal calls, the proper types of invitations for various occasions, proper conduct at the theatre, the use of calling cards, and other fine points of etiquette. After each talk, the members were permitted to make comments on the subject and to ask questions or tell of actual incidents involving the points dis- cussed. ln this way, much practical information was gained. After the regular program there was usually an open discussion, when anyone who wished to do so, might bring up problems of etiquette. Quite often Miss McKinney told of some amusing breach of etiquette which she had seen or heard about. The other members often told of these things also and in this way kept alert to the proper social procedures. The meetings were exceedingly interesting and instructive, and the only re- gret of the club members was that more people could not have enjoyed the programs and that there could not have been more meetings.

At that time the radio was rather new in the home, and the students were very much interested in this new invention. The first club had thirty girls and six boys. Books on the subject were placed in the school library, and plans were started for installing a radio in the school. The next year, 1923, an aerial was set up on the roof of the building, but a receiving set has never been installed. Since the aerial was placed in 1923, each succeeding Radio Club has had the duty of keeping it in order. The club this year had that responsibility, which was one of the interesting activities of the program, since various repairs were much needed. The club was organized this year under the leadership of Bill Binford, who took charge of it as there was no available teacher to do it. The following ofiicers were selected by the group: President .....,,,,,,,,,, ,,,,.,...

Roger Miller It was decided to conduct the meetings by means of discussions entirely. If some one had a new theory or had built a new radio, he might explain it to the other members. If there were questions, they might be asked and answered. In this manner the meetings were conducted through the year and proved to be very interesting. Another important part of the club program for this year was the study of the principles of radio reception, which was sponsored by the National Radio Study Club, and which was a great help to the boys in their effort to learn more about radios. The club held their last meeting feeling they had gained much from their study and discussion of this instrument. Betty Vogler, '3O.

It is composed of thirteen mem- bersg all of whom are boys. At the beginning of the year the following officers were elected: President ,,..,.,,,,,,,. ,,,,,,,,,,, . ,,,,,,,,,,. , , ,,,,,,,s..

The two committees, the Program committee and the Current Events committee alternated each week in taking charge of the meetings. Topics of scientiflc interest were assigned and the different students gave tallcs on these. Some of the outstanding ones were: Locomotives , 'lique- faction of gases and Constellation of the Stars . The Current Events committee had talks given on the newest developments and inventions in science. Several interesting and instructive trips have been made to industries and plants in Piqua. The members profited especially by their trip to the Ohio Bell Telephone Exchange, where they learned about the mechanical side of the telephone and the wonderful way in which each individual part functions. This was probably the outstanding feature of the clubys programs. The members also made a trip to the waterworlcs, later in the season, which proved to be of interest. Here, they had explained to them in detail how Piqua gets its water supply, and were shown the various processes through which the water goes to purify and soften it. On the whole the club members have enjoyed a profitable year and have not been in any way unlucky because of their number. Betty Thoma, '30. Q.

Mary Washing The program committee, Zora Beaver, Chairman, Mary Eleanor Himmelright and Mary Quick, planned a very interesting program for the entire year, and a copy-the work of Florence Harvey-was presented to every member of the club. It was very clever, being a small tan booklet with a book and quill designed as the emblem. During the year talks were given by the various members on the different types of newpaper and magazine writing. Original writings, such as Limericks, poems, ballads, short stories, feature and news stories, editorials, songs, plays, jokes, essays and letters were produced and presented to the club for criticism and discussion. The Scribblers' Club was of especial interest to the student body because the members produced a considerable amount of the original writings published in the Piquonian. Among the most interesting of the programs was one consisting of book and magazine reviews, as the books chosen for discussion were present-day novels. At one of the meetings an original love song and a humorous song were read by their authors and showed that much time had been spent on preparation. A humor program was found interesting, the roll call being answered with original Jokes. Other features were: a review of a popular humor column, an original Piqua humor column, and an original humorous story.

S. for some time but this year it has made a very successful record under the direction of Mr. Moffett. The aim was to make the finest pictures possible for the Annual of 1930 and the mem- bers have tried hard with the snaps taken during rhe year. Not all the snaps taken could be used but the best have been chosen for the snapshot pages. During the winter when picture taking was difficult the members of the club gave talks on such subjects as:- History of the Camera, How the lens works, Mistakes often made in using a camera , and on many other interesting topics. The Club had some outside speakers also. Mr. Huntzinger spoke on Taking Good Pictures'g Mr. Davis talked on the Use ofthe Camera g and Mr. Bridge- man of the Y. M. C. A. brought his camera and showed some pictures he had taken on the Y. trips last summer. Later in the year groups studied the printing and developing of pictures. Only a few at a time could learn to develop but all who were interested had an opportunity. ln these small classes the members learned to develop and print the snapshots shown in the Annual. In spring and autumn the members worked the hardest getting snaps that are attractive. The Camera Club can hardly put on a program but all the students may enjoy the slides and snap shots which they provide as a result of their work during the year. A number of pictures were taken and put on plates and thrown on the screen at high school. Here many students saw themselves as they really are and seemed to enjoy it greatly. When the football games were being played or the runners were starting, someone had his camera at work. Following the year with pictures is one of the aims of the club. John Carpenter, '3O.

These students had not enrolled because of a lack of interest in those clubs being organized, so this group decided to start a new kind of club which was to be called the Cosmopolitan. V The club was organized and the following officers elected: President ,,,,,,,,,.,r,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, Harry Foster Vice President ,,,,,.,..,, ...,...

The regular routine of business was taken up at the beginning of each meeting followed by very interesting programs, the majority of which consisted of discus- sions and reports on science and current events of general interest to everyone, although almost everything imaginable was brought up for discussion. Several meetings were devoted to the Believe it or not type of program which proved very successful, because of the extremely varied kinds of subject matter brought up for discussion. The three outstanding programs of the semester were as follows: 1. Demonstration of a static machine. 2. Brief report on how musical instruments work. 3. Contributions from the Believe it or not Club. At the end of the semester a group picture of the club was taken, and it seems the club must have had some visitors upon that day who are also included in the picture. The club was under the excellent supervision of Mr. Sims, and as a result of the fine co-operation and enthusiastic interest of the members it proved a most successful organization throughout the year.

O l Piquonian i OR twenty years the Piquonian has been the very successful school paper of Q Piqua High. Five issues and the Annual are put out each year. j The staff is nominated by the faculty and voted on by the student body of . senior high. This year the following people composed the staff: Editor-in-chief, ' Charlotte Turnerg associate editors, Shirley Poff, Irene Hill and jane Palmer, I athletic editor, Tom Ramsey, alumni editor, Janice Havemanng art editor, Graham , Morton, stenographic editor, Jeanette Williamsg business manager, Robert Nethg I , assistant business managers, George Cameron, Earnest McClannan, Joe Sheridan, ' and Robert Binford, subscription manager, Donald Dankworthg and Treasurer, ' Robert Cron. The first issue came out in November and included vacation experiences, poems, ballads, sonnets, and the usual editorials, activities, athletics and humor. The second issue was the Christmas number which featured Christmas stories and a most striking original cover cut. The February number was devoted to articles and stories dealing with the earning of money by students, while the March num- ber contained stories and poems on miscellaneous topics. As usual the fifth issue was the Junior Piquonian edited entirely by a staff of juniors. Robert Hydeman was editor-in-chief and Bob Binford business manager. Stories and poems as well as the usual departments were written by juniors. The last and most eagerly expected issue is the Annual, which contains pictures of all the classes, clubs, musical organizations, athletic teams, the staff, and a de- partment devoted to humor. This year the pictures are group pictures rather than individual ones and an industrial theme is being worked out. The Piquonian has been very interesting this year and the staff is to be con- gratulated for its excellent work and for making the publication a success. Margaret Mendleson, '30, O C 0 High School Edition of the Call VERY week the high school has a page in the Saturday issue of the Piqua Daily Call. This High School Edition is under the supervision of Miss Patterson aided by Miss Stevenson, and is edited by the junior English classes, the junior , B's writing all the news articles and the junior A's the editorials and feature stories. The edition contains news of the life in Piqua High and of activities which are . interesting to the public. As everyone knows who reads the page, this year's L editions have been very successful and interesting. 1 This year, as usual, several issues were devoted to the observance of national 3 weeks. Among these were Education Week, Thrift Week, and Fire Prevention 1 Week. One issue gave special attention to the three mill levy, and students spent much time in obtaining signatures of influential business men, and comparisions i of tax rates in different cities. Articles and features were written on the effect the 1 defeat of the levy would have on' the schools. i The seniors also have a part in making the Call edition a success. Each ' week several students copy' read the articles, others plan the layout of the page, f and two read proof. They contribute editorials and feature stories, for although ' the work is voluntary it is all given credit in the senior English classes. Some of the commercial students also work very industriously on the page, W for after all the copy is written and corrected the senior typing classes prepare it for the printer. ' Q This work gives all the students who engage in it experience that will be useful in after life. Besides having some practice in journalism they come into direct ! contact with life in a newspaper office. As some will, no doubt, choose journalism j as a profession, this practice will be very valuable to them. . Neva Zirkle, ,30. l l iw 14- F--4 ,vgiw .. Ninety-Two ff ififjifi-1 - Tfiilllfff-L l School Assembly Entertainments HIS year the students of Central High were entertained with very interesting programs sponsored by the School Assembly Association of Chicago. The first of these was given on November ll by Captain Dinnie Upton, famous coach and playground director. His talk The Player in the Shadow , which was witty, humorous, and inspirational, was greatly enjoyed by all who heard it. He is said to be one of the great inspirational speakers of America and as he has planned and directed activities of youth in the United States, Canada, and New Zealand, he is very well acquainted with young people and probably knows more of them than does anyone else. The second program was given on December ll by Mr. James, liquid air demonstrator. He performed many complicated experiments and gave a very interesting discussion of the present and future uses of liquid air. On February 6 the students of all the buildings were entertained by Sue Hasting's Marionettes. These manikins walked, talked, danced, and sang like human beings, although they were manipulated by hundreds of strings. The dramatization of the story Hans and Gretchenl' amused the students greatly. The last program under the supervision of the Association was given on March 17 by the International Boy Orators-each one the champion student speaker of his country. The three speakers were Efrain Rosado of Mexico, Champion of Mexico, James Rayborn Moore of Kentucky, Champion of the United States, and William H. Fox, jr., of Toronto, Champion of Canada. Each one gave the ten minute oration which won him the championship, The Advantages of the Government Under Which l Live. These talks were very interesting and of much value to the classes in history, civics, and foreign languages. A small contribution of ten cents per student was asked for the entertainments which were all very interesting and greatly enjoyed by the faculty and students. Mary Van de Wedge, l3O. Night School IGHT school began this year with a very large attendance, under the able direction of Mr. H. B. Hensler, principal of Wilder Junior High School, who has been the principal of night school for the past several years. He was assisted by Miss Huddlestun, Miss Beers, Miss Bireley, Mr. Gray, Mr. Wilson, Miss Martin, Mr. Smith, and Miss Powell. Night school began about the middle of October and ended the middle of February. All classes were conducted two nights a week, for twenty weeks, on Monday and Thursday except Miss Powell's gym class which was held only once a week on Monday. Classes were held from seven-thirty until nine-thirty o'clock. Tuition was free for students under eighteen years of age and one dollar for each subject carried for those over eighteen, Free students were allowed to carry two subjects. A great deal of good can be derived from night school by students who work and do not have a chance to go to day school. They have the benefit of most of the subjects that are taught during the day. These include shorthand, typewriting, bookkeeping, Spanish, French, arithmetic, auto mechanics, manual training, textiles, cooking, and English. This is a great help to students who have to quit school and go to work or who through other unfortunate circumstances are unable to attend day school. Jeanne Bryan, '30. N inety-Three Senior Essays HE most important scholastic task before graduating is the writing of senior - essays, which is a very old custom at Piqua High. This year the class worked very hard on their essays and are very proud of the splendid work accomplished. The seniors chose a very interesting and helpful topic upon which to write, The work of the world. The members of the class were asked to select three t pics giving the one they preferred first place. In some instances they received t eir preference, while in others they had to take their second or third choice, for ot more than two students were permitted to write about the same subject. Some chose topics pertaining to work which they want to take up after leaving school, others took subjects about which they wanted to learn more than they knew. The writing of an essay requires a large amount of outside reading besides an interview with a person interested in the subject, but the school work in the English class was arranged in such a way that it gave the students plenty of time to obtain the necessary material. Before writing the essays the students found references on their chosen topics and then made a short bibliography. Short reports were made on at least three magazine articles and six hundred pages from books, which were of great help in the actual writing. When the reading had been completed each senior made an outline. After this had been approved the essay was written and handed to the teacher for sugges- tion and criticism. The seniors then obtained pictures illustrating their subjects and the work was carefully corrected and typed. The completed essays were put into loose leaf note-books and placed in the library to be used by other students in the future. Dorotha Valentine.

A day called ' College Day was set aside to give the students an opportunity to talk to about fifteen representatives from fifteen different colleges in Ohio, among which were fiiami, Ohio University, Antioch, Oberlin, Denison, Ohio Weslyan, Wooster, Wittenberg, and Western Reserve. The representative from Miami spoke in the morning assembly giving a lecture on vocations. The students held conferences with these men throughout the day, and secured information on whether or not they could enter certain colleges and what studies they could take. They were also told the advantages each college has to offer. Another opportunity for guidance was a lecture by Dr. Slutz of Dayton, given to the students on Monday, April 28. He told them what they should think about in order that they might know what vocation they should take up. He said there were five questions one should ask himself, the most important being, whether he liked the vocation or not. He compared these questions with a flower from which one should pull the petals as he asked himself the questions and so would have only the main parts to deal with. Some persons have the ability to create beautiful things, while others like to build or work with business terms. They should take up vocations that center on these principles. l By the time students have reached their senior year they ought to know what they like and what they can do best, but need some few facts on vocations. Such lectures as Dr. Slutz gives are very good in assisting those who have not entirely made up their minds. In the same way the College Day proved a very excellent source for receiving information along vocational lines. Jane Bair, '30, 1' Y Ninety-Four A F12 051133: FL me The Football Banquet THE football banquet was held on Saturday evening, December 7, 1929. Before the dinner the election of the new captain took place which resulted in the choice of Bob Wilcox. At six-thirty the dinner, which was prepared by Miss Bireley and Mrs. Cashner was served by jane Spencer, Mary Washing, Gwynne Tomb, Charlotte Turner, Virginia Levering, Jean Buchanan, Janice Havemann, Betty Thoma, Clara Mae Erb, and Avanelle Patrick. The menu consisted of tomato bouillion, roasted turkey, mashed potatoes, dressing, cranberry sauce, fruit salad, angel food cake, and ice cream, and coffee. Besides the football squad Coach Wertz, Mr. Mote, Mr. Wilson, Mr. Sims, and Dr. Trostel were present. The tables looked very pretty decorated with red and blue crepe paper, and nut cups which carried out the same color scheme. Candles lighted the tables, and each place was marked by a place card. In front of Mr. Wertz and Bob Cron was an imitation football field which was very cleverly arranged, and football figures were given to each of the two captains. The ice cream the boys had was also made to look like a football field. There were goal posts at the ends and the yard lines were marked with a football on the fifty yard line. When the ice cream was cut one ha1f of it was blue while the other half was red. This proved to be very attractive. After the dinner Mr. Wertz acted as toastmaster, Bob Corn and all the senior fellows gave talks, and Bob Wilcox was called upon to say something. At this time the team presented a beautiful bridge lamp to Mr. Wertz in appreciation of his work with them. At eight o'clock every one went to the auditorium for a program which had been arranged and to which the entire school was invited. Avanelle Patrick, '30. Trophy Case HEN the Class of 1929 gave Piqua High the Trophy Case as a parting gift, it gave something very appropriate as the school had no special place to keep the trophies before the gift was presented. The case, which is about six feet high and seven feet 1ong, is not only useful but very attractive also. It contains three shelves on which are placed for all to see the trophies which were won in different contests. There are four trophies won in football. Three of them are large silver footballs, mounted on pedestals. The other is the cup won when the team de- feated Troy. Mr. Pekras of the Ohio Theatre very kindly presented it to the team in 1929. Another cup is the one given by the Piqua and Troy News. This was received for making the most points in athletics. Both the Pektas and the Piqua and Troy News cups are beautiful si1ver ones. The golf trophy is very original having a figure of a golfer mounted on a black base. One of the oldest trophies is the Elks' cup. It is very large and is artistically designed. Another beautiful one is the Track and Field Trophy. It has the figure of victory ho1ding a wreath and mounted on a bronze base. The others are the Rotary Track cup, the Buck Morton Co., Track and Field cup, and the Wittenberg Inter-High School Oratory cup. The students of Piqua High School are very proud of their trophy case and its contents, which are also admired by the fans of our athletic teams, and visitors who come to the school.

'e-l llfloreword E all know that it is impossible to use all the material in the making of a perfect finished product. In many cases, a great deal of material is acquired, of which only the most perfect can be utilized. In all lines of industry, there has to be a lot of what is called waste left over. But this is by no means useless. Many times the waste from one or more products can be used in making another equally important product. ln these times of efficiency, not much waste is really wasted. Some purpose can be found for even the apparently most insignifi- cant left-over. just think of all the poor, limp, floppy dolls there would be without the waste from wood, sawdust! And how frantic some women, who are hooked-rug fiends, would be without the good old stand-by of bathing-suit scraps! lf one would just look around, he could see a lot of ways in which this waste is used-many of which would undoubtedly surprise him greatly. For instance, a combination of sawdust and glue is used to make many very artistic decorations on furniture. An even more surprising example is the fact that oil drained from automobiles is used as a liquid in which pigs are dipped because it is good for their hides! So we see that waste material is important in its own use, just as is the product from which it comes. We have collected a great deal of literature for this annual but of course not all of it can be used in the main product. So we have gathered some of the by no means unimportant Uwastel' into one section, in the hope that the reader will derive almost as much good from it as does the rag doll from her sawdust. !

A young woman who insists on walking in the gutter is always more or less socially ostracized. As for the young gentlemen they are never seen walking after dark around the city dump heap. It is never proper for young people of either sex to push old ladies in front of swiftly approaching motor vehicles. A young lady of the business world when unaccompanied should not frolic in a boisterous manner on the way to work Ce. g. climbing trees, throwing man-hole covers, etc.j V Both ladies and gentlemen should always tip their hats and say Pardon me when unexpectedly tripping over a raised portion of the sidewalk or stepping in fresh cement. It is the least one can do to remember this little courtesy to avoid hurting the feelings of the aforementioned. On arriving at the place of business one should ride upstairs on the elevator, and, on getting off boisterously should cut the cables on the elevator so that the elevator boy for girll may have the thrill of the speedy ride to the ground floor. Then one should proceed down the hall tripping everyone he may meet. From there on it is very simple to proceed along the proper way of etiquette throughout the day, needless to say-it is not necessary for one to shake hands with the office boy and to tell him what a good time one has had during the day. At the end of the month it is fitting and proper to inform an employer that one feels that he is worth more than the compensation he has been receiving. The employer will invariably retaliate by suggesting that the complainer hunt another place where his efforts will be appreciated. So much for young office employees. Etiquette for those whose Work is to Travel: On the day of your departure the first thing to remember is to pack your suit- case and securely lock it4then unlock it and put in your tooth brush and comb which you have forgotten. Immediately following this, promptly drop the key down the cold air shaft. From thence proceed to the railroad station observing carefully the rules prescribed for pedestrians and on arriving there find that due to Daylight Savings time the train will not arrive for one hour. One Hundred and Ten .fm N-X, x.,-.., K-.!A Z.h Lf- VX X-2 S-fx X.f'Nf HAZA 1 N' 'Pififgffl-1 llf 1 , Jef ITQV' fQrfK ,-lil?-1, f- '1l7f'-f When it finally arrives, rules for mounting the train must be strictly observed. 'These rules are as follows: Always insist on being the first one aboard not hesitating to push your com- petitor out of the way. If you have an umbrella never close it till you arrive at your berth. This facilitates getting down the aisle between the berths. When you get to your berth and find a large lady and three children eating crackers in your bed-be nonchalant, light into 'em. When the lady informs you that she has the upper berth and wonders if you will exchange with her it is always proper to graciously acquiesce. When you desire to retire for the night, send the porter for the ladder with which to ascend into the berth. While waiting for him to return, it is expedient to stand in the aisle and remove your coat and shoes, and then begin to seach for your suitcase which you will finally locate by crawling on your chin and stomach under berth number 11. When you again resume an upright position, the train will give a sudden buck precipitating you into berth No. 12. A woman's voice will then say Ethel? to which you should naturally reply, No , and climb quickly up the ladder into your proper berth.-These same rules should be used on the return trip. Etiquette in a Factory: There are certain time tried-rules which must never be disregarded by those working in a factory. Men with bald heads are best fitted to work with the buzz-saw or lathe. This insures protection against catching the hair in the above mentioned machines. It is customary for the hard working man to have an ample coat of grease and grime about the face and hands, which may be removed with auto soap or any other toilet soap. When first entering business in a factory if one of your contemporaries says something opposite to your way of thinking, promptly lay down the law to him only to find that he is the boss, whereupon you will be fired. And now, gentle readers, if you adhere carefully to these rules of etiquette, never have any doubt in your mind as to your social standing and rest assured you will get a raise in salary whenever your employer feels like giving it to you. Frances L. Smith, '3O. Charlotte Turner, '30. One Hundred and Eleven i + if ,fitgssnfssli ..1fss... Modes of Transportation HIS age is a swift one, transportation is swift. As we trace the progress of the Class of 1930 we stop to note the way they have traveled along lifels highway until they have reached the day of graduation. First came the baby-cart and arm movement when they were utterly dependent. Next we note the famous pick-a-back travel method. Look at Joe Sheridan and Tiny Poff and praise the strength of their mounts in those early days. We have not delved deep enough in the archives to follow up the physical disabilities that have resulted in either case. Then came kiddy-cars, scooters, and those devices with a box over wheels called roller coasters. These modes of travel were slightly treacherous, resulting often in broken bones and cracked heads. If any evidence of the latter is evident among the heads of the illustrious class, let us draw a kindly veil. Tricycles and small red wagons came next. Nothing can do much more in the racket line than a properly un-oiled red wagon. It has been said that it is from this beginning that Tom Ramsey and Paul Cromer trace their love of quiet. Next all the highways of the world were teeming with automobiles-big cars, little cars, medium sized cars-and into these piled the class of 1930 and swept along with a few spills. We for ot to sa that at some intervals a few feeble creatures tried onies . Q V P But as ou know onies are often skittish and man were thrown off and realized V P Y that their own efforts carried them even farther. Many have experimented with horses, even in this horseless age. Some have mounted Pegasus and have flown on his back into the realms of poetry. And now as the years draw nigh when we shall say we have no pleasure in many of these things, the waves of the sky have loosed their sails and we confident- ly predict that no class that up to this date has ever graduated from old P. H. S. will ever reach the heights that will be attained by the class of 1930. Can't you just see joe Purdy and Mary Eleanor Himmelright flying to great heights and pausing to sit on a cloud to plan what world they next will conquer. And so dear readers, ends the present tabulating of ways and means of transportation of the now famous Class of 1930. Ima Dreamer. One Hundred and Twelve Limericks There was a 'young girl named Irene, She was cute, she was fair, she was green, But that wasn't enough- ,Twas certainly tough, When they gave the Hill to Irene. There was an odd lady named Youngg To be sure in her head was a tongue, So severe and so sharp As to cause the remark, She will never be old since she's Young. Oh, Bertha was running down street, E. Spooner of course on the seatg She was singing a song As she rambled along, Till a trolley she thought she could heat. There is a young fellow named Gearg It's a very strange thing that I hear- That his voice still, they say, Is as clear and as gay As the creaking of windmills in Gear. There is a proud senior called Cromer, Whose voice is by no means a roamerg With two other boys I-Ie helped make a noise To advertise cheese with aromer . There is a young lady called Smitty, And she is exceedingly witty, - She writes funny things, And ballads she sings, And she's also exceedingly pretty. There's a story 'bout jean that's quite true, She loves to sing songs that are blueg You'll have to admit She sure was a hit, And at dancing she proved her worth too.
