NEISWANDER Vive Ilrwniml President Clerk BOARD OF EOIIOATION H SIIPERINTENOENT 0F LIMA SCHOOLS Mr. R. E. Offenhauer has been superintend- ent of the Lima schools for the past thirteen years. During this time he has built for himself a foundation of fine friendship among the teach- ers and students of the city. 'His presence is al- ways Welcome, whether it be in assemblies or in the classrooms. In recent years, he has done outstanding work in national organizations. such as the National Educational Association, of which he is treasur- er. He is also president of the national organiza- tion, the School-masters' Kiwanis Club. ASSISTANT PRINCIPAL Mr, Russell Slater, our assistant principal this year, graduated from South in 1927.

He re- signed March ZZ to take a position at Columbus West High. OUR PRINCIPAL Mr. J. H. Davison, our princi- pal, has, in his chosen profession, followed in the footsteps of his father, who was a school teacher for forty-six years, spending ten years in Lima as superintendent of city schools and fourteen as a mem- ber of the faculty and an executive of Ohio Northern University. Mr. Davison has been with us eleven years, coming to South in 1926 from Central High School.

Pot 0 Gold HlSTOIlY---GLASS 0F JMIIIARY, 1937 By WAvA ALTHAUS The Iirst mid-year class, consisting of about one hundred students, entered South High in January, 1931. After the first few weeks of confusion, we settled down to our regular routine. Miss Ethel Asher, our supervisor, aided us. We were never organized alone until our senior year but were combined with the regular classes. Our elections were also held with the other classes. As eighth graders, occupying three home rooms. we became thoroughly es- tablished at South. Mrs. C. E. Gaskins, nee Miss Elizabeth Harter, supervised us and assisted in the election, in which Carl Spahr was chosen vice president and Jack Ciriflith, reporter. We felt very grown up in our Freshman year and were proud that in the election of officers, Robert Workman, one of our group, was chosen president. This year 'Miss Helen Shanahan was our supervisor. During our Sophomore year many school activities were open to us. Our class was well represented in sports, cheerleading, dramatics, and music. In the election, under the supervision of Mr. C. E. Sinclair, one of our members, Eu- gene Feigh, was chosen reporter. In our Junior year the class consisted of about thirty students. The term passed swiftly and uneventfully under the direction of Miss Marie Bowlus. We aided the regular junior class in presenting the play, Digging Up the Dirt. Members of the cast from our group were Jack Grifhth, Howard Burnette, and Frank Ley. We also assisted the other classes in sponsoring a magazine cam- paign. and with the proceeds from this and from the play, we entertained the Seniors at the annual Junior-Senior Prom at Shawnee Country Club on May 29. At the beginning of our last school year, guided by Mr. C. E. Ciaskins, our class was organized, and for the first time we chose our own oflicers. who were as follows: president, Robert Workman: vice president, Carl Spahr: secretary, Wava Althaus: treasurer, Eugene Eeigh. We sponsored the Sophomore-Junior-Senior dance held April 24, 1936. We gave no play. but our class was represented by Eugene Feigh in the Senior play put on by the class of '36. At the annual carnival Robert Miller reigned as king. William Tonelf had the leading role in this year's operetta, Hollywood Bound. The president appointed the following committees for our final affairs at South: announcements-William Toneff, Wayne Swick, Wava Althaus: class day-Kermit Miller, Eugene Eeigh, 'Howard Burnette, Wava Althaus. Ruth Swaney: memorial-Jean Bice, Wayne Swick, Robert Miller, Vernon Patterf son: dress-girls, Jean Bice, Ruth Swaney: boys, Carl Spahr, Jack Curiffith: class will?Wiliam Toneff, Carl Spahr: prophecy-Ruth Swaney, Robert Workman: history-Wava Althaus: poem-Robert Workman, William Toneff. We made our last informal appearance at South on Class Day, January 21. On Sunday, January 24. we attended Baccalaureate service, and on Wednesday, the 27th, a dinner at Lost Creek, followed by a theater party. We received our diplomas Thursday, the 28th-Commencement night at Memorial Hall. For 1937 WILL---GLASS 0F JANUARY, 1937 By WILLIAM TONEPP and CARL SPAHR We. the class of 37 Uanuaryij, being in full control of our faculties fnot facultyl. and knowing that we are soon to die a merciful, quick death, and having few regrets, do hereby. whereas, wherefore. and wherewith, not to mention heretofore and whereeunto, declare this to be our last will and testament. To our heirs, the seniors who will die one-half year after we have passed on. we hereby will the following articles: ARTICLE I-The two rows of seats next to the window in Home Room 227. These are rated high in value because of their proximity to Sittin' Bull, Minerva, and that other piece of classic statuary of a woman with no head, fwhich is not a new idea if you know what we meanfj We also solemnly swear that these seats are the hardest things: to sleep in that man has ever in- vented and are unrivaled as implements of torture, but they do give a good view of the dog fights that develop occasionally out on the lawn. ARTICLE H-Our favorite reference books, chairs, and magazines in the library. This is sarcasm in the highest degree: first, because the reference books never have what we are looking for: second, because the chairs are neither comfort- able nor safe: third. because the library does not subscribe to our favorite magazines, Nickel Western, Dime Detective, Shadow, and True Story. ARTICLE IH-The Hrst two rows of seats in the auditorium. These are un- doubtedly one of our most prized possessions because one can almost hear half the stuff that is going on up on the stage. ARTICLE IV-The space in front of 227 which has been'our stamping ground for four and one-half months. It took four teachers to patrol this notorious district: Mr. Gaskins, our supervisor: Miss Bowlus, Miss Early, and Mr. Hughes. ARTICLE V-Our civics books, American Government. we guarantee to be in perfect condition and not less than ten years old. Along with the books go all of our American Observers which we have received the last few months. Miss Taggart will verify our statement that they have been read. ARTICLE VI-Our copies of A Tale of Two Cities. and all poetry, themes and essays. We are sure that Miss Marvin has saved most of them as ex- amples of complete imtbecility. They are really incomparable with anything else in the Held of literature. To the seniors we leave our austere reputation of dignified character and conduct. CMiss Marvin would substitute the word childish for dignified in that sentencej Of course with our reputation goes the honor and glory of being tops in the student body. Finally, we give the following class of seniors that certain feeling of superiority, that certain air of owning the joint which we have assumed and which has annoyed many a student for many a day. We hereby appoint Mr. J. H. Davison the official administrator of Our will, with the stipulation. however. that he must assume the full responsibility of persuading our heirs to accept what we bequeath to them. In place of pecuni- ary reimbursement. we give him the relief and joy he will experience when we fade away into South's past history. ln witness hereof we subscribe our name this twenty first day of January, 1937.

ROBERT WARNOCK General Po0 HISTORY--- GLASS 0F JUNE, 1937 By HELEN GIBSON and NORMA GRAHAM The class of '37 entered South in 1932 as seventh graders under the super- vision of Miss Ethel Asher. The officers were Junior Holmes, president, Robert Nulf, vice president, Jack Coates, secretary and treasurer, Mac Sargent and Lois Bice, reporters. During their eighth year, they were under the supervision of Miss Eliza-beth Harter. Grant Neds was chosen president of the class, Carl Spahr, vice presi- dent, Jack Griiiith, secretary-treasurer, and Philip Hall, reporter, Under the watchful eye of Miss Helen Shanahan, the two hundred and seventy-five green Freshmen became accustomed to the stern routine of the life of upper classmen. They elected the following oflicers: Robert Workman, presi- dent, Margaret Mulbarger, vice president, Gail Young, secretary-treasurer, Mac Sargent, reporter. Mr. C. F. Sinclair handed out the blue fyellow or whitej slips during the Sophomore year. The class had now diminished to two hundred and thirty- six students, who elected the following ofiicers: president, Paul Vance, vice president, ,Mary Jane Brown, secretary-treasurer, Margaret Mulbarger, and re- porter, Eugene Feigh. In September, 1935, they became members of the Junior Class under the direction of Miss Marie Bowlus.

The selection committee included Lois Bice, Eileen Basil, Robert Hold- ridge, Stanley Shively, and William Toneff. The social activities of the year were concluded with the Junior-Senior prom at Shawnee Country Club on May 29. The committees in charge were composed of the class oflicers. As Seniors they occupied the inevitable, never-to-be-forgotten home room 227, and the first few rows of seats in the auditorium for assemblies. The following officers were elected: Robert Holdridge, president, June Naus, vice president: lrwin Penhorwood, secretary, and Gail Young, treasurer. Robert Miller and Lois Bice were chosen king and queen of the Carnival, The class combined with the l2B group to present Seven Chances as their final contribution to the dramatic life of the school.

For 1937 Ill GRATITIIDE By MARX' JANE MAH' Dear South. the time has come at last When we must bid adieu To teachers, friends, and class mates dear And to old Gold and Blue. Although the day is drawing near When from this school we'll part. The memory of those happy hours Will live within each heart. Thy spirit which has led us on Through battles lost or won, Will never cease to be our guide In new careers begun. So when we meet with trials through lite And things look dark ahead, lWay we be guided by thy truth And by thy spirit led. Whatever time may hold for us, In all the years beyond. The memory of thy counsel wise Will spur us on and on. To us. dear South. you'll always be A symbol that is fine. And may the ones who follow us Hold high that torch of thine. P WILL---CLASS 0F JUNE, 1937 By PAYE NEAL and JAMES FoRD We, the Class of 1937, of South I-Iigh School, of the City of Lima, County of Allen, and State of Nonsense. being of mature age with kindergarten minds and a memory badly impaired by four years of high school Work. do hereby make and publish this, our Las-t Will and Testament, and by so doing revoke all other Wills heretofore made and published by the aforesaid class of wits. Item l. We hereby request that all expenses entailed in our departing high school life be met and paid from our estate of good looks, high scholarship, and good wills. Item II. To the incoming class of badly misled Seniors-you who clon't know what you're getting into as yet-to said Class of '38, we bequeath our most prized possessions, our most beloved treasures. our dingy, olive green one thousand page history books from which feven with our marvelous brains and ceaseless eHforts we gleaned little knowledge. To you incoming Seniors we present these precious books with the following stipulations: I. You leave them in as perfect a condition as they were when we gave them into your keeping. CWe seldom used them and rarely carried them home. so why shouldn't they be in perfect condition?J Z. You don't laugh too heartily at the pictures of our most venerable and antiquated statesmen which are to be found in the first few pages of this most modern of history books. Those caricatures were inserted only to get you interested-don't let them fool you. 3. You don't overstrain your poor brains trying to give a new inter- pretation to this certain American History book. We are sure Mr. Fresh- water wouldn't want any of you to do that, especially when we present Sen iors added so much new material to that already over-stocked 'technical corm- position on stale facts of long ago times. Item III. To you poor obscure, insignificant, would-be-dignified Seniors who have not as yet tasted of Mr. lVIaxfield's new and improved courses in phys- ics and chemistry land who are foolish enough to think you want tob, we be- queath all of our acid-eaten desks, broken test tubes and beakers. rotten smell- ing gases, and Csince we want to give you a bargain! we woefully give all of Mr. Maxiields best jokes with 'the sincere hope that he has them remodeled before passing them on to you. Along with these bequests, we leave you a bit of ad- vice in regard to laboratory experimentation. I. Don't ever misplace bottles or boxes on the reagent table, for Nlr. Maxfield told us once that he liked work about as little as We did and he definitely didn't like to play 'AI-Iide the Bottle. 2. Listen carefully and pay heed to Prof. iIVIaxfield when he says, Leave all experiment sheets on the corner of my desk before you leave the roo'm. If you don't pay attention, it gives him high blood pressure when he finds out, and it gives you a bad case of blues when you get 'the next report card. ot0 For 1937 Item IV. To Miss Bo-wlus, we bequeath all the poetry and prose which We so diligently and painstakingly created, and which was so many times inspired by thoughts of our master minds. We leave this to you, Miss Bowlus, with one request: that you use it as an example for those less fortunate Seniors-to-be who perhaps will not be so well equipped with intellectual faculties or older brothers and sisters who can be inveigled into writing their expositions on Mac- beth, or some other literary Waterloo. ltem V. To this self-same class of bewildered minds, we leave and bequeath Room 227, the most beloved room in South High School. not however without misgivings as to whether its future occupants will be able to hit the statues and pictures with paper wads as accurately as we did. Item VI. By reason of our unlimited generosity and stupidity, we hereby leave to Miss Baver and Mr. Roberson. our class supervisors. the desired knowledge that we Seniors of '37 will not longer disturb the peace and serenity of Room 227 by our long and loud exclamations of delight when our eyes rest upon some innocent mongrel pup, or by the snores of sleeping students who are bored with the quiet life they lead in I-Io-me Room. But we also have our recompense. for we rest secure in the knowledge that neither of our beloved pedagogues will remain long in sublime happiness. when that noisy group of unimportant youngsters who compose the Class of '38 will soon occupy our much respected seats. ltem VII. And now as we depart this life, and since we will have no further use fort them, we hereby will and bequeath to you. our lower classmen, all the time-worn excuses which we so tactfully used to obtain library permits. And along with this, we leave you all the tables, seats, books, and dog-eared magazines that have survived our constant and heartless usage. Item VIII. To you, Class of '38, we leave those priceless first ten rows of well polished seats in South's auditorium lwell-polished because of the squirming We did when some speaker with a sonorous voice talked overtime on a most unappealing subjectl. We bequeath them to you with this advice: Though the speaker be dull and your tired eyes do close, beware of letting yOuf snores reach the honorable ears of Mr. Davison, who sitsf so quietly on the stage peering with envious eyes on you sound sleepers. Item IX. As executor of aforesaid estate. we do hereby appoint Mr, J. H. Davison with the one request, that execution be carried out immediately upon the resumption of school activities next September. In witness, thereof, we, the class of 1937, do hereby set our hand and seal to this, our last will and testament. WITNESSES: O. U. Kid-Author of 20,000 slang. words and expressions. vR. U.

For 1937 The Blue and Gold cheerleaders have an important part in every foot- ball and basketball game played by South. These individuals enable the fans to exhibit their enthusiasm and to cheer their team on to victory in an orderly manner. Well executed cheers add to the excitement of a game and help to inspire the players. A squad ol' eight served as the yell getterz turing the last school' year. Letters were presented to Jack Grif- fith and Margaret Mulbarger, head cheerleaders: Gene Feigh. Louise But- ler. and Cleora Fisher. Other mem- bers of the cheering squad were Rob- ert Deniston, Haroldean Brown, and Byron Howe. CHEERLEADERS Robert Deniston, Louise Butler, Margaret Mulharger, Cleora Fisher, Byron How STADIUM On Thanksgiving Day, 1936, ap- proximately 4,000 football fans crowded through the entrances of Lima's new stadium to witness a dedication grid game played by the South and Central high school elev- ens. Preceding the conflict, which be- gan at lO A. M., was a program last- ing twenty-five minu-tes. About two hours later the wild cheering from the eastern wing of the stadium was ample evidence of a 12-6 Bengal vic- tory. On December 10, Co-captains Robert Workman and Wayne Swick received a Victory trophy for the team, presented by the Lima Lions' Club to the winner of -the first game played in the new sport center.

The Bengals defeated Lima Central, Cincinnati Roger Bacon, Troy, Fostoria, Van Wert, Shawnee, Wapakone-ta, and Van Buren. Piqua and Kenton were the two teams able to subdue the fighting Tigers. VAN BUREN-The Blue and Gold eleven gained their first victory of the season on September 18, when they defeated Van Buren in a home game, 19-O. In the second quarter, Robert Workman scored through center from the one yard line after a drive of 60 yards. He added the extra point by the same play. Neumeier tallied six in the third stanza after a march of 35 yards featuring straight football. Hudson made the total nineteen by taking a pass from Stokes in the last quarter. TROY-The Bengals turned back an old foe on September 25 by beat- ing Troy to the tune of I3-O. South made six points in the second period and seven in the last, all points being scored on passes from Neumeier to Hudson. The gaime ended with the ball in South's possession on the Trojan's four yard marker. Troy failed to threaten throughout the game. The visitors were handicapped by the illness of their best ball carrier. Bunny Green. SHAWNEE-The South eleven vis- ited Shawnee on October 2 to win their third straight decision. The fighting Bengals and stubborn In- dians fought on even terms during the first half, which ended scoreless. In the second quarter, with the pig- skin on the Indians' 17, Neumeier circled right end and with a bit of clever running managed to cross Shawnee's goal. Neumeier added the seventh marker on a line plunge. In the final twelve minutes, the Indians turned to an aerial attack and passed nine times in a futile a-ttempt to tie the Bengals' seven points. CINCINNATI R O G E R BACON- South gridders turned what looked like certain defeat into a victory on October 10, by beating Cincinnati Roger Bacon, 20-12. Using their tricky Notre Dame shift, Cincinnati piled up a lZ-O lead at the end of the Hrst half. Both of the visitors' touchdowns were the result of aerial plays in the second quarter. In the third stanza, Neumeier passed to Cal Workman from Roger Bacon's 36: Workman received the ball on the six yard bar and crossed the goal for the Tigers' first -touchdown. In the final quarter Neumeier accounted for another six points and then passed to Hudson for the thirteenth marker. To make the victory certain, Hudson took a toss from Neumeier for the third Tiger touchdown. Point num- ber ZO came on a pass from Stokes to Main. FOSTORIA-For the Hfth straight triumph, South visited Fostoria on October 17 and won by a l2-7 score. The winners counted in the first quarter on a pass from Stokes to Fisher and added six points in the second quarter when Fisher snatched Neumeier's pass. A rally by Fostoria in the final quarter was featured by a triple pass from Leisenring to Mar- shall to Calhoun which resulted in a ot 0' Go lor 1937 touchdown. B. Shirk place kicked the extra point. ln the final minutes of the game, Hudson blocked a Fostoria pass which was intercepted by Mil- ler, making the game a sure victory for South. Two 50 yard punts by Neumeier aided the Southern defense greatly. PIQUA-Piqua handed the Bengals their first defeat of the year in a home game on October 23. A 64 yard run by Bob Workman in the third quar- ter tied a touchdown made by Piqua in the opening period. In the last two minutes of the conflict, Smith of Piqua crashed through his own right tackle and ran 29 yards to give Piqua the long end of a l2-6 score. During the second quarter South recovered a punt blocked by Howard on the five yard line but failed to score on two passes over the goal intended for Hudson and Fisher. KENTON+The neighboring Wild- cats. who remained undefeated in their last two seasons of football, dealt the Tiger eleven their second and last defeat of the season on Oc- tober 31. The Southern eleven found George Keel, Kenton quarterback, to be a hard man to stop. Keel scored from the one yard line in the second quarter and a little later he passed to Kordenbrock from midfield for a sec- ond touchdown. Bash place kicked the thirteenth point. ln the same period, Neumeier passed to Hudson for the Tigers' lone six points. Hatch- er scored again in the third quarter and Bash made good the conversion. ln the final stanza, Renfrew scored through center to give the Wildcats a total of 26 points to the Bengals' 6. WAPAKONETA--In subduing Wa- pakoneta by an 18-O count on No- vember 7, the Bengals won their sixth game in eight starts. The first scoring A '1 came in the second quarter, when Neurneier passed to Fisher. Later in the same period. Neumeier plunged through center for a touchdown after Stokes had made a first down on the four yard marker. In the second quarter, the Blue and Gold eleven missed a touchdown by inches when Swick plunged through center from the two yard line. In the final quarter. with the ball on the visitors' 25, Neumeier passed to Hudson for South's third touchdown. VAN WERT-South visited Van Wert on November 14 and won a thrilling 7-6 victory. Neither team scored the first three quarters, al- though the Tigers came within four yards of making a touchdown in the third stanza. Early in the fourth quarter, Neumeier scored from the five yard line after three successive line plunges. Robert Workman place kicked the extra point, which proved to be the deciding one of the day. Van Wert counted six points near the close of the game on a pass from Tropp to Harrow. LIMA CENTRAL-South Tigers completed a glorious grid season on Thanksgiving Day by beating their oldest foe, Lima Central. to the tune of IZ-6. The 4,000 fans in Lima Stadium viewed a scoreless first quar- ter. with the ball for the most part in Central territory. In the middle of the second stanza, Palmer scored South's first touchdown through center. San- ders tied the score in the third period when he went through right guard. With about three minutes to play. Hudson snatched a pass from Neu- meier, which was partially blocked by Schwarzkopf of Central. and ran eight yards for the winning six points. This victory was Souith's first over Central since 1930. MINUTE?

CO-CAPTAIN WAYNE SWICK, the scrappiest of scrappers, was the little quarterback who would put his head down and really hit the line. WILLIAM NEUMEIER was the half- back whose superior running and accu- rate passing made him an invaluable player to the team. Bill's punting deliv- ered the Tigers from many a perilous situation. PAUL HUDSON, left end, seemed to have a way of getting out there and snagging any passes that came floating his way. He is captain-elect of the squad of '37. SAM HOWARD, center and guard, was one player no enemy line could stop. Sammy could always get through to nail his man or block a punt. For1937 LETTE PAUL VANCE, a senior guard, could always be found fighting from the time of the initial kick-off to the final gun. ROBERT NEWLAND, half back, had a knack for either knocking down or in- tercepting passes. He did equally well on offensive work. CALVIN WORK1NiAN'S accurate passes from center and brilliant defensive work gained a varsity letter for him in his third year of football at South. ROLAND FISHER, right end, played on Adafs varsity before coming to South. Roland earned his second letter at South by his pass snatching ability. ROYLEE MILLER. sophomore guard, was another link in South's strong line. A pass intercepted by Roy in the final minutes of the Fostoria game brought an end to a scoring threat by that team. 4', l A ', 5. X ' V.. 'T , .AJ WILLIAM FERGUSON'S 170 pounds did not slow' him up a bit in breaking through a line to get his man. When Bill hit an opponent, he stayed hit.

'R Pot 0' Gold BASKETBALL ROBERT WORKMAN'S unusually fine playing at guard was a great aid in keep- ing down the number of field goals made by opponents. WAYNE CTarzanj SWICK'S fine play- ing on last year's Reserve team earned him a berth on the Varsity of 36-37. Wayne was another mid-term graduate. KERMIT MILLER traveled so rapidly over the court that one could scarcely keep track of him. 'His quick passing and general nimbleness made him a necessary part of the team. CARL SPAHR, forward, made up in speed for what he lacked in size. Rival six footers were bewildered to find Carl playing rings around them. DONALD MAIN, co-captain and for- ward, supplied some of the necessary height with his six feet and one inch. He excelled in under-the-basket shots. PAUL HUDSON did equally well on defensive and offensive work. He was a fast traveling forward, and as a guard few points were scored against him. SAM HOWARD found few centers who could outjump him during his two years on the blue and gold Varsity. Sam's scoring territory covered a wide range of floor space. LETTERMEII WILLIAM NEUMEIER.
