But memory is often faulty and so the purpose of this Maroon and Gray is to recall in the years that will come the joys of the years that are past. May it recall only the pleasant experiences and allow to pass into the oblivion of forgetful- ness the sorrows that were mixed with the joys. May our memories of Rossford High be always happy ones. fPage 41 X 1 1 4 swim Ilmllv III. 1. hh mpgs! 8 Il1,hhh I lq pvl' 'lon' 'gold' 'Iqm lal 'l Uh .u1 ' E Muni f' H, i i f l'n, x 6 gf 2gaI'llii! off , ' .

We are happy .. that at last we are to take our places in the world and begin seriously the business of living, we are sadder than mere words A-4 QA-.DL can express to leave our High School and all that it has meant to us. We have spent these last four years in preparation for life-in pre- paring ourselves to live fully and successfully. Our instructors have guid- ed and taught us to the very best of their ability, but the extent too which each one has received of this teaching, has depended upon the extent to which each one gave of his care and attention. Whether we go on to school, or go out into the world of business we will find that the same principle holds true-as we give, of our energy and talent, so will we re- ceive in success. And with the preparation given to us by our High School we are going out to give of the best that is in us. When we were Freshmen, the time when we should be Seniors seemed far away and almost unattainable. To Freshmen sitting in the back rows at Chapel the front row seats, dedicated to Seniors, seemed highly desir- able. The Senior year Was a goal toward which we strove and the first row in Chapel, the symbol of that goal. The goal drew nearer and nearer until at last we were Seniors, and last September marching down the aisles at the first assembly we took our places in the first rows. We each felt a thrill of excitement and pleasure the day that we could look back from the very first places and mark the stages of our progress by rows of seats. But now-now the goal has been attained, We have finished our Senior year, we have sat for a year in the first rows, and now we must set for our- selves a new goal, must set for ourselves a new symbol. May we never be content until we stand in the very front rank of those who have achieved success! Our class has given its share of athletes, of scholars to the school. We have contributed to the football teams, the basket ball teams, debating teams, to every undertaking of our school. We have deepened old trails and blazed new ones. To the class of '29 the Words, But no one has done it before, have always been a challenge and we have accepted it. Tonight our fervent wish is that the class of '29 may go forth in life with the same spirit, may we blaze new trails, do great things, and- greatest of all-may we live true to the ideals of our school. May this class of i'29 be one of which Rossford will be proud and one which will bring honor to the Maroon and Gray. Tonight as We look back at our four years of school life, four years of happiness and friendship, we feel regret at leaving, but as we look forward to the morrow and the work which we will accomplish we are eager to set our feet in the new way. So with these mingled feelings of joy and sad- ness, does the Class of '29 say tonight, Farewell to Rossford High School. -H. L. H. lPage 101 1929 - THE MAROON AND GRAY - 1929 ,ga WNIOQ samoas. 'Q at UUE DUB cc Q5 OUR years ago 60 green freshmen came Wandering into the building try- ing to look intelligent. This year we leave much wiser than then fat least f,r'fr,iqFX1 we think sol. In that year Malcolm Hanselman was chosen president, Jack McCaslin, Vice-President, and Madeline Richards, Secretary and Sig Treasurer. We had a large class, but some felt the lure of the working 944- L? world, and we had lost 16 members when our Sophomore year began. Mary Kinstle was President, and Madeline Richards, Secretary and Treasurer. A new mem- ber, Marjorie Purdy, came from Cygnet to join our ranks. This class contributed greatly to athletics, Bob Lewis, Malcolm Hanselman, Alphonse LaHote, Kenneth Sym- ington were on the football team and several of these boys also played basket ball and baseball. Teresa Bauer, Marjorie Purdy, Myrtle Carr, Lucille Hamel, and Susie Sand- ers were the Sophomores on the girls' basket ball team. Also, the Honor Roll always contzgned one or two Sophomores. The Hi-Spy and Annual staffs had their Sophomore mem ers. When the Junior year opened we found that our class had lost another 16 mem- bers. Nevertheless we started the year with a bang. Again Mary was our President and Marjorie, Secretary and Treasurer. Athletics had its share of Juniors and the Honor Roll also blossomed with Juniors. Then this enterprising class gave a first run play, Cupid Scores a Touchdown, which certainly scored a hit. It was repeat- ed at the M. E. Church. Along with the proceeds from these performances and a great deal more that these Jewish incented Juniors raised by Hcramming' 'hot dogs and ice cream into folks at basket ball games, and a few Hthousand' 'candy bars during the week, we managed to give the Seniors and the Faculty a wonderful banquet at the Vanity Fair. Yes, Sir! that year was surely a whirlwind . 1929-It's here at last with the class twenty-three strong. Mary was again Presi- dent, Jack McCaslin, Vice-President, and Malcolm Hanselman, Secretary-Treasurer. Football found Lewis, Hanselman, Golbinec, LaHote, and Williams back in harness and they all gave a good account of themselves. In debating three seniors, Helen Harris, Malcolm Hanselman, and Jack McCaslin gained quite a reputation for R. H. S. Basket Ball had its senior stars: Schiffgen, Lewis, and Frautschi played on the boys' first team. Marjorie Purdy was captain of the girls' team. The Senior basket ball boys' team won the class trophy. The Seniors also participated in the Music and Literary Contests in Wood County. Yes, the Seniors were there in everything. The Senior Play, The Charm School was given with the usual huge success and then the goal of our high school came-Commencement. Helen Harris was Valedictor- ian and Malcolm Hanselman Salutatorian. Thus ends the taleg we have finished. Good bye-dear Rossford High. May your halls always ring with the joy and the happiness that we have known. -M.

ROBERT IVILLIAMN RON' EN A MA R0 LF Rc-nie 'run n . vrurg S01-lety C LA SS POEM In the heart of every Senior, Year of nineteen-twenty-nine Will be linked with joy and sadness With thoughts sorrowful but fine, For it marks the date of parting With our dear old Rossford High, When we leave our school forever Leave it with a farewell sigh. Dear old School, we go forever, From the rooms where we have moved, From the halls where we have loitered, Where we've played and worked and loved. From the doors we've often entered, To the world that waits without Go we now with eager footsteps Tempered not by fear and doubt. For our paths will lead us higher Towards the bright goal called Success. Some will reach it, some will falter, Who will win it none can guess. But we all will try our hardest In the years of strife and toil To bring honor to our High School, To be always true and loyal. -H . L. lfPage 171 H 1929 - THE MAROON AND GRAY - 1929 CLASS PROPHECY TH was a June day in 1939. It was too hot to work inside, so 53243 Chief Justice Taft informed me that we would work on the lawn. My dictator paused in his work and called my attention to the soft drone of an airplane motor. He informed me that an unknown pilot was manoeurvering around up there for an endurance test. Then-Crash! Down it came. We ran to the scene and the pilot climbed out of the wreck seemingly unhurt. To my very great astonish- ment the unknown aviator turned out to be none other than my old class- mate, Helen Harris. My employer gave me the rest of the afternoon off. I inquired about our graduating class of '29. To my surprise Malcolm was superintendent of good old R. H. S. Marjorie, too, chose the high school for her occupation. She was the commercial teacher there. Madeline was operating the Garden Bower Tea Room. I told Helen how glad I was that they were still at home. We walked along the avenue in Washington, D. C. and stopped at the -Hotel Congress for lunch. While talking over our meal who should walk in but Robert Lewis. He recognized us and we were glad to hear that he was physical director at the University of Washington. Hazel Rinker, we learned, was to return the next week on the Mauretania from Paris where she had been honeymooning for the last month. Bob told us that Esther Faust had become the private secretary to John N. Willys of Willys Over- land. When we mentioned Clarence, Bob said he had turned out to be the promising truant officer of Wood County. Alphonse LaHote and Edward Schifgen had taken up professional athletics for their life work, and were playing with the Toledo Mud Hens. Louis was the manual teacher of Maumee High School. Bob told us that Joe Golbinec was attending a prominent engineering school and was ad- vancing rapidly in mechanics. Bob Williams had become manager of the Rossford branch of Kroger Stores. What had become of the Hamel Sisters? Surely one would think they were settled down to a peaceful married life. To our surprise Frances was still unbetrothed and a professor at Bowling Green Normal College and Lucille was a bookkeeper for Mr. Koch of Lasalle Xz Koch. Rowena, we heard, was in training in a famous New York Hospital and Sophia was managing store No. 2 of the Kusner Chain Stores. Jack McCaslin was attending the Ohio Miami Medical College, taking a post- graduate course. Burt and Warren were sub-contractors for A. Bentley Sz Sons Co. What has become of Mary, doesn't any of us know? Why don't you know ? smiled Helen, she has finally realized her ambition. She belongs to a well-known dramatic club of California and is to appear with Buddy Rogers in his latest talkie, Modest Mary . -W. C. fPage 181 1929 - THE MAROON AND GRAY - 1929 JUNIOR CLASS Herbert Young - President Agnes Weber - Vice-President Tony Zawoski - - Secretary-Treasurer The Junior class of '29 like the Junior class of other years has been On the hustle raising money to provide the departing Seniors with a farewell banquet. They have taken an active part in the selling of re- freshments at the basket ball games. They also sponsored two shows at the Ross Theatre. The most outstanding event of the year, however, was the Junior Play, The Time of his Life which was given under the direc- tion of Miss Lacy. The proceeds of these activities were used to give the seniors a wonderful banquet. The Juniors are looking forward to the time when they too are seniors and can watch the next Junior class work- ing for their banquet. The Junior class consists of: Frank Burdo, Frank Boenke, Thad Barthold, Casmir Knurek, Tony Zawojski, Joe Marcinek, Roger Sarver, Frank Strieker, Herbert Youngs, John Brown. George Lehner, Albert Reynolds, Ruel Lynott, Angela Tutak, Maurine Dunbar, Agnes Weber, Mildred Louise Schaeffer, Helena Kimmel, Mildred White, Geneva May, Florence Michael, Evelyn Warner, Adelaide Makovic, and Frederick Vance. fPage19-I 1929 - THE MAROON AND GRAY - 1929 SOPHOMORE CLASS Rachel Conn ----- President Forrest Davis Vice-President Eleanor Lee - Secretary Helen McLaughlin ---- Treasurer Members of the Sophomore Class took active part in athletics, music and literary arts this year. Those who played on the High School basket ball squad were, Eleanor Lee, Agnes Gregor, Vivian Fitzgerald, Helen McLaughlin, Freida Eckert and Ethel Hahn. Although none of the Sophomore boys secured positions on the Varsity Squad, several obtained places on the second team and have high hopes for making next year's team. In the inter-class tournament the Sophomores defeated the Junior class by three points in a very exciting game, although they were defeated by the Freshman Class. In the musical line Rachel Conn won first place in the semi-county piano solo con- test, and the Girls' Glee Club, which was largely composed of Sophomores, won second place. A debate was given in a Parent-Teachers meeting by six Sophomores, The Sopho- more class is proud of their activity and hopes to make next year an even greater success.

Much improvement has been made over the first meeting which was held 'way back in '22. Our Society has grown along with our High School and those who made up the Society of 1922 would scarcely recognize this as the same organization. The plan has been to discuss a famous writer or poet. Mark Twain and Benjamin Franklin were two of those studied. Among the other activities was a Christmas play put on by several members of the Society. . This year has ranked as the best in the Society's history and although we shall lose several valuable members by graduation, we hope to make next year the success this has been.

IPage 271 1929 - THE MAROON AND GRAY - 1929 DEBA TING TEAM This year Rossford cntered a team in the State Debating League. This was a new undertaking for Rossford since we have not had a debating team for four years. Although the members of the team had never debated before and the first debate was lost to Hicksville, the team had a highly successful career and one of which Ross- ford may be proud. The question on which the team debated was: Resolved: That the United States should cease to protect by force of arms, capital invested in foreign lands except after formal declaration of war. The first debate, in which Rossford upheld the afhrmative, was held here and lost to Hicksville. The second debate took place at Hicksville with Rossford successfully defending the negative side. Again Rossford debated on the aflirmative side, and beat Gibsonburg here. The last debate was held at Fremont. Rossford again had the affirmative side but lost. The team gave Fremont a good fight however, and kept them worried. Three members of the team will graduate this year, but Robert Thornton will be an experienced member for next year's team. Miss Frisbie, the coach, deserves a great deal of credit for the success of the team. She took people whose ignorance of debating was appalling and made them into a team which successfully defended both sides of the same question-a difiicult thing to do. The members of the team are: Helen Harris, Malcolm Hanselman, Jack McCaslin, and Robert Thornton. The team members all say that if anyone wishes to know any- thing about imperialism, the Kellog Peace Pact, or military protection of property just come to them. They are especially well-informed on Nicaragua and the Kellog Peace Pact. The team of '29 brought great honor to Rossford High School, but may next year's team better this record and carry the Maroon and Gray on to greater victories. I:Page 281 1929 - THE MAROON AND GRAY - 1929 LES CHO UETTES Mary Kinstle President Helen Harris . Vice-President Herbert Young Secretary Frances Hamel . Treasurer In October, 1927, the second year French Class, under the supervision of Miss Jean Sherer, organized a French Club, the purpose of which was to gain a closer insight into French life and customs. Meetings were con- ducted in French, as nearly as possible, and both the study hours and social hours which followed proved very interesting. Members of the first year class were initiated. These new members in their turn, when they became the second year students, carried on the original plan. The insignia of the organization is a pin in the shape of an owl, bear- ing the letters, L. C. S. which means Les Chouettes Society. The members of the club are: Rowena Marolf, Malcolm Hanselman, Frances Hamel, Helen Harris, Mary Kinstle, Robert Lewis, Alphonse LaHote, Florence Michael, Evelyn Warner, Frank Boenke, Reuel Lynott, John Brown, Maurine Dunbar, Frank Stricker, and Herbert Young. fPage 291 1929 - THE MAROON AND GRAY - 1929 GIRLS' GLEE CLUB The Glee Club boasts of members from every class. Seniors: Frances Hamel, Madeline Richards, Marjorie Purdy, Sophia Kusner, Lucille Ilamel, Winnifred Childers, Esther Foust, Hazel Rinker, Mary Kinstle, and Helen Harris.

Those of the second section were: President, Helen McLaughlin, Vice-President, Eleanor Lee, Secretary- Treasurer, Florence Michaelg and Reporter, Agnes Gregor.

Rossford put one of the smallest but smoothest working aggregations that R. H. S. has ever had on the field this year and they did their stuff in fine shape. Under Head Coach Mollenkopfls helpful directions a hard fighting, quick thinking, football machine was formed. The team showed real form, a never-say-die spirit , and above all true sportsmanship. We are proud of them, and thank them for their splendid services this season. We loose only two regulars in the five letter men who graduate this year and hope for a whiz-bang team next year. BASKE T BALL Another season brought to a close. Not quite so successful materially Cwe didn't drag home the silverwarel but a success in many other ways. Rossford got a slow start because of the sickness and mental deficiency of some of the players, but after Christmas R. H. S. was red hot and stayed so the rest of the season. They displayed a Hbrillanti' brand of basket ball, sure shots, and a fast passing game, which kept their oppon- ents on the defense most of the time. In a few games they were handi- capped by meeting some big teams, but they came through to win in nearly all their games. They showed true sportsmanship in taking their few defeats, and in their team-mate attitude, and after all, this is what we gain in this game of basket ball-the thing we can use in life, after basket ball is past his- tory. So you see this has been a successful year. We bid goodbye to the boys who leave this year and wish them as much success in life as they have enjoyed in basket ball. To the subs who didn't play regularly we give our sincere thanks, for their help in making the team what it was. Your help counts. So let's say farewell to B. B. for another year and hope for a whoopee', season in 1930. fPage 311 1929 - THE MAROON AND GRAY - 1929 1- -W 1 - FOO TBALL PERSONALS JOE MARCINEK-End Keg had the bad luck to be kept out of several games by injuries, but when he did play he stopped them cold. More power to you next year, Keg. MALCOLM HANSELMAN--Center Skinny was light but every pound of him was made up of fight. Cool headed and good at signals. We will miss him next year. CAPT. BOB LEWIS-Halfback A great all-round athlete. A clever dodger, a good passer, and receiver. Bobby wound up his career with his usual good form. More power to you Bob. CHARLES BRACKENS-Fullback Our flying cloud. Fast as lightning, a good passer, and a bone crushing tackle. Three more years of fan thrilling for you Charley. HERB YOUNG-Tackle A good tackle. Fast, aggressive, and a good defensive man. Herb still has an- other year to play. JOE JAROSI-End Great things in small bundles. He may be little, but tackles like an express train. Grow a little for the next two years. JOHN RIETER-Tackle A snappy, fighting, kid- Fuzzy showed some sweet football, whenever he had the chance. Two big years ahead for you. fPage 321 1929 - THE MAROON AND GRAY - 1929 AL REYNOLDS-Guard A big rangy fighter-quiet, but right there. Crack defensive man and good blocker. Another big year, Al, next season. MORRIS WALTON-Guard Rather light but a classy little guard. Great at piling 'em up . Took a lot of pounding and not much glory. Plenty of time yet, Morris. ROGER SARVER-Quarterback A hard plunging back. Good signal caller, and a stone wall on defense. A blaze of pep for you next year, Bu1l . LE SLIE BELL-Halfback A great ground gainer, and a good steady blocker. All round ability, playing both line and backfield. TONY ZAWOJSKI-Quarter and Half Touch is another all-round man, a fine punter, a good passer, receiver, and ball carrier. Your big chance next year, Duke . JOE GOLBINEC A powerful defensive man when he had the chance. Sorry to lose him by gradu- ation. Best of luck. ALPHONSE LA HOTE Another sub-player who showed his stuff when called upon. Another loss by graduation. So long, Al. BOB WILLIAMS A hard plunging worker. Always remembered by his punt passes . He also leaves us this year. WALTER SCHULTZ-Manager Plenty of work and no glory. Kept the equipment in A-1 shape. Yours for mud proof jerseys next year. THE ROSSFORD BOWL This year the varsity team was greatly disappointed because the long promised football field was still but a promise. To us who leave it means that we will never get a chance to play on a private Rossford High School field to which we have looked forward for so long. But you of the future teams and fans, let's see you boost this project. Get behind it. Talk it up. Get the people and students interested. Only then and not until will it become a reality. Let's make it such a success that varsity teams in the future will say, A broken diaphragm isn't so bad when you break it at Rossfordf' Let's boost and plan now for a whoopee opening day in 1930. That's All IfPage 331 1929 - THE MAROON AND GRAY - 1929 FOOTBALL RECORD IN BRIEF BLISSFIELD We went to Blissfield with an inexperienced team, and met a tried and true one. Gave a good account of ourselves but lost 36-16. PORT CLINTON Another off day for Rossford. Bad passes from center, and a few fumbles added to a bumpy field, kept the teams even enough for a tie 6-6. OAK HARBOR One of the best teams we met. Led by 6 points at 3rd quarter, but a little bad strategy allowed them to intercept a pass. They beat us 20-12. GENOA ' Some game. Boiling hot day-dust a foot deep. Rossford with a crippled team showed some class to win 13-6. BRADNER Wet field and cold day. Minus 4 regulars, but Rossford came back for a flashing victory 13-7 . HOLLAND Simply a rest period before the big game at Perrysburg. Used every sub on the squad. Completely swamped them 40-0. PERRYSBURG The big game. 99? of the school went to Perrysburg to see a real game. Rossford's Flying Cloud CChuck Brackensl showed Perrysburg his pretty heels more than once, and the line demonstrated what a small but hard charging forward wall can do. Bon-fire and snake dance after the game. Score 27-0. As it would take too much space to describe the numerous Basket Ball games, we can only give you the scores. Anyway you're supposed to have been at the games, so you know all about them.

TONY ZAWOJSKI-Guard Tony had the had luck to run into a ease of pneumonia the first of tho season, but he proved his worth as a good olfensive man later on. BOB LEWIS-Forward An all round basketball man. A good shot, a clever ball handler, and a quick defensive man. He leaves us this year and we wish him success in all he undertakes. So long, Bob. ED. SCHIFFGEN-Center That lanky center that drops them in from all over the floor? Yes, that's Ed. A good tip off man and a sure shot. Another loss by graduation. Good luck, Ed. LESLIE BELL--Guard One of thc best guards Rossford ever had. A fast offensive man and a stone wall guard. You'll hear more oi' him. HERB YOUNG-Forward A good hand worker. A good shot and floor man. Always ready with all hc had. Another big year, Herbie. JOE MARCINEK-Guard A good prospect for next year. Big, fast, and clever. He gave a good account of himself this year, and will show you a lot more next year. lPage 351 1929 - THE MAROON AND GRAY - 1929 MELVIN GALLOWAY-Forward A fast, clever, little player. Always managed to sink a couple of baskets in every game. Great things expected in the seasons to come, Melvin. ' ROGER SARVER-Guard Bull' is another fine prospect for 1930. You'll see him next year. A good de- fensive man and a hard fighter. TINY BROWN-Forward Another fast and clever, dependable, little man. Showed up fine every time he got a chance. Let's go next year, Tiny. MALCOLM HANSELMAN--Guard Although Skinny was not a first string man, he was there when called upon and his spirit helped a great deal. OUR COMING STARS Rossford believes in developing its talent as early as possible. This has made the varsity what it is. Under the coaching of Wolfe and Carnicom coaching agency the Lightweights developed into a fast pass- ing and clever team. They gave valuable scrimmage practice to the varsity and showed the fans some classy balls in the preliminary games that they played. These boys show great promise and we hope to see them as Uregulars' 'in the near future. We also wish to commend the 8th grade team and it's coach, Mr. Hershman. These boys have beaten nearly every grade school in Toledo and have some real basket ball sharks . Another year and they will make the regulars step. Good Work boys. We'll Watch you next year. fPage 361 1929 - THE MAROON AND GRAY - 1929 GIRLS' BASKE T BALL The Girls' Basket Ball team had but two veteran players, Marjorie Purdy and Agnes Weber. The rest of the team were inexperienced. The girls won only two of the games. This was due to the fact that most of the girls were not only inexperienced but also rather small. Everybody on the team tried to play her best in a good sportsmanlike way in order to have a victorious and well considered team. The team this year handled the ball and played the game nearly as well as the team did last year although they did not win as many of the games. The teams played were as a whole made up of veterans and of girls much larger than those of R. H. S. Would we say that the girls' B. B. team this year was not as victorious as the team was last year because they did not get as many points as the other team, in most of the games? Should we interpret the word victory as meaning only high score, first place, etc '? We feel that the team had just as great a victory because of the satisfaction they received out of playing, the mental and physical training, and the good spirit of sports- manship that they showed toward the other teams played. The team loses one stair player by graduation, but with the old players and the new material which will be available, Rossford hopes to have a good team for the next few years, one that will be ditlicult to defeat.

Marjorie again this year, as in the last two years of her playing, had plenty of vigilance, speed, and fight which made up for her smallness in size and made her one of our best guards. The team can not help but miss her because of her loyal and playing spirit. She proved herself very capable as captain by the way she attended to all matters concerning the team, and the considerate attitude she took toward all concerned. AGNES WEBER-Guard Agnes was our old stand-by. She never gave up hope. When the game was being lost Agnes played her hardest. She always kept the team in playing spirits. It took a good forward to get away from Agnes. We wish her as much success in her next year of basket ball as she has had in previous years. ELEANOR LEE-Forward Eleanor was our dependable basket-maker. She could always find the loop and score many points for us. She was always very considerate and courteous. AGNES GREGOR-Forward Agnes was our jumping center. She also made her share of the baskets. We are depending on Agnes to make R. H. S.'s future jumping center. VIVIAN FITZGERALD-Forward Fitzie was our foul-shooter. She showed her ability in foul shots by winning the district foul-shooting contest, and by getting second place at the county. FREIDA ECKHERT-Guard Freida was our fighting guard. We are depending upon her as one of our guards for next year. HELEN MC LAUGHLIN-Forward Helen has improved considerably in her playing this year. She always went into the game to do her best. We must also thank Ethel Hahn, Adelaide Mackovic, and Mary Kohl for their help to the team. Also the other girls who faithfully came out for each practice for their help, contentment, and courteous attitude. lPage 381 1929 - THE MAROONAND GRAY - 1929 CALENDAR MAY 11 The Senior play, A Full House , given by the graduating class of '28 proved a great success.

Farewell, Rossford High. fPage 411 1929 - THE MAROON AND GRAY - 1929 ALUMNI NEWS It was a beautiful day in late spring and as I lay in the restful shade I let myself drift with the tide of my thoughts. And as I dreamt I saw again the school where I spent so very many happy days. The classmates with whom I associated seemed to pass by. First I saw the Hsweethearts on parade fthey are married nowj. Two by two they came marching by and who were leading them but Silas Wolfe and Claribel White. Leona Elston and friend hubby came next. She is now Mrs. Wagner and resides at 3148 Scottwood Ave. Marion Marolf and her husband, Mr. Charles Russel, came next. But what is this? There is another known as Donald Charles. Of course we don't want to forget Chet Marolf, our hero of the cage. There are two in his family now and he is supporting them by selling Life Insurance. Remember Mildred Enis? She is married now but works in the office of the Ford Plate Glass Co. Milo Philbin is married and goes to Toledo University. Evelyn Thayer is now Mrs. Russell Mohn. Oh, these wedding bells! How strange! My thoughts that were so happy before have taken a sadder turn for I see a lonely grave in a cemetery at Perrysburg which holds all that remains of our beloved classmate and athlete, NORMAN PRINGLE. Then my thoughts turned to those who are working hard at college. Roy Shelton is now a senior at Wilbur Forrest College where she is studying to be a doctor. Paul Gregor is at an Electrical Engineering School in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. Gladys Whitmore is at T. U. Lacy Faust is studying to be a preacher. Walter Brimmer is a Junior at T. U. He is taking up Mechanical Engineering. Roy Young is doing the same thing and Milton Ziems is studying Economics. Grayce Elston is one of those who carries a sign with the words of U of Toledo for U of Toledo . Well boys, if you decide that you would like to take a rest and go to a hospital, you had better pick out Flower Hospital, for Madeline McLaughlin is a Senior there. Here I decided that I had dwelt too long among sad things so I quickly brought myself to those who are working or living near home. When a person is thinking of something happy, how could he help but think of Dorothy Watters? Dot, Laughing Watters who is now Secretary of the Board o Education. I:Page 421 1929 - THE MAROON AND GRAY - 1929 ' I found my thoughts drifting to a house on Oak Street where Alice Geltz is keep- ing the home-fires burning for her father. How could we possibly forget red-haired Johnny Dietz? 'Member the time we called him the Paderwiski of R. H. S.? He is giving lessons and working at Ford's as a booker. Some ambition. Eh, What????'? If you take ice in summer and coal in winter you will without a doubt agree with me when I say that Charles Gampher is some coal and ice man. Can you feature demure Bob Frautschi as a traveling salesman Well he is. If anyone has a feeling that he would like to rob 'a bank I would advise him to stay away from the Rossford Savings, for little Esther McPhereson is on guard. Hail! to the future Lindbergh of Rossford-Curtis Potter! He is working at the Stotter Aeroplane Plant in Detroit, Michigan. Evelyn Schaeffer is a stenographer at the Toledo-Roberts Co. Remember little Felix Mainz? He works at the Ford Plate Glass as a typist. Laurence Harris, better known as Pharmer , is working at the Larrowe Milling Co. He expects to become PRESIDENT in a few months. George Knollmiller is working for his father in their store on the Dixie Highway. Gene Rager is a member of the same firm as Bob Frautschi. It is the Erickson Ribbon and Supply Co. Nadine Williams is staying at home at present. Waiting for a Beau Brummel, Nadine? Katherine Knurek C'Katie J is an efficient typist at Lamsons. Arthur Howard is the assistant Chemist at the Larrowe Milling Company. Wonder if he wants to be president too? Miriam Williams is working at the Toledo Scale Company as Billing Clerk. Fred Kinstle is in the wareroom at Ford's. He expects soon to go to California. Ida Schiffgen is a stenographer for Bindle and Morris Bond Associates. Adell is a stenographer for Rejan and Southernland. Robert Caswell is working for the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad Co. Melichar Peer is attending classes at Tri-State. Walter Knurek is a typist in the offices of Morgan and Anderson. Velma Thayer Shorty is working for the Service Combustion Co. Iona Rager is working at the National Gas Company. As the last scenes passed slowly from my sight I had the feeling that I wished these old graduates could come again to R. H. S., their Alma Mater. -FLORENCE MICHAEL l:Page 431 1929 - THE MAROON AND GRAY - 1929 i ,, V L fs -X I' l f M t We 5 '1 1 5: 5 x if i E l NY- l ,Q 25 g QQ RESULTS OF THE CRAZY BALLOT Best dressed boy ...,......v.... - ,,,.,,.,,,, , ....,.,.,.,...,,,,,,77,,,,,,.,,..,,.,..,..,........................,, Robert Thornton Best dressed girl .,.,,, 7,,,,,, H elen McLaughlin, firstg Hazel Rinker, close second Most popular boy ,,ve7 e..,.....,.,,.,,7, 7,....
