We have in this new building, Many things that we admire, But the most we get from it, Are the things that we acquire. First we have for superintendent, Mr. Jordan we all hold so dear, And we often stop and wander, What we'rl do without him here. We next have a man for principal Whose name is Mr. Minning, The whole school thinks he knows a lot, But we don't know just what's in him. Miss Ritt's our Science teacher, By her meals it's plain to see, She could easily cook for two, And could probably cook for three. We have for Math. teacher, Mr. Lord whom you all know, If you wish to pass his classes, You must know your Math. just so. Now when it comes to Spanish, You'll find Miss Harter there, And when it comes to English, There is none with her compare. When it comes to Agriculture, Mr. Smith's the man to see, He'll help you plant your onions, Or he'll help you pick your peas. Miss Smith's our Commercial teacher, All in all it's plain to see, That without her kind assistance, We would all be up a tree. Miss Hursh is our Music teacher, By her voice we've come to know, That the note which she is singing, Is a Fa, Me, Re, or Do. Now in our Junior High School, We also have good teachers, We think that if they'd leave this school, Word of their fame would reach us. For principal of our Junior High, Miss Sawmiller strong and firm, And when you've once been sent to her, You'll find you've lots to learn. In Reading, History and Arithmetic, Miss Becker sets the pace, She has her pupils learn the book, Or in the end they lose the race. From their English, Writing and Hygiene, They profit quite a lot, With Mr. Briggs for teacher, Not much will be forgot. All in all this group combined, We owe them quite a lot, But here we think is the place to end, So we think we'd better stop. If el Page Six UUY -sgqggl.

Senior Autographs Yr' ECHOES 1928 1-S' wif mei I Senior Class History In the year of 1924 there were sixty-four, who entered Spencerville High School and enrolled as Freshmen. All were seated in the Freshmen Room of the old building, which is now the grade building, with our sponsor, Miss Sanborn. We were known as a green class. In 1925 we registered as Sophomores with a number of fifty-four, some had left us from the year before because of their ambition to work. Our Sponsor was Mr. Seaman. During the school year the Sophomores took an active part in all activities. In 1926 there were thirty-eight registered in the Junior and Senior Room to carry on the work. Our sponsor was Mr. Barnes. In February the new building was completed and the class was put in a room by itself which all enjoyed. The class gave a reception for the Seniors of '27 which was enjoyed by bothethe Seniors and Juniors. Now Adolph was presented by members of the class. A committee was appointed by the president and they picked a lyceum course which was to be given the next year. The next and last year a number of forty entered the school. The Lyceum vW2fR put over with a big success. Several parties and Weiner roasts were held during the year in which all took part. The responsibility of the Echoes rested on the Seniors this year which proved to be a success. The seniors enjoyed very much the reception which was given by the class of '29, On the 17th and 18th of May, the class play, The Whole Town's Talking, was presented. The Senior trip was made on May 6th, to Chicago. After the 25th of May the members of the class of '25 will leave the building of Spencerville High School, as the largest and best classy never all to assemble togeth- of Spencerville High School, as the largest and best class: so ral-g never all to assemble together again.

Sixty of these pupils enrolled as Freshmen. Officers were elected and class motto and colors were chosen. Our class was represented in the orchestra, glee club and track teams. The Sophomore year came with a Rush. The loss of several members made the class somewhat smaller, reducing the number to fifty-three. Our class took great interest in the musical organizations and also in athletics, having several representa- tives in each. The class was proud of their basketball team. The team played many games during the season, winning a majority of them. In the Intramural tournament the Sophomores played the Seniors. The Sophomores put up a good fight, but at the final bell the Seniors held the big end of the score, the score being 26 to 21. The Sophomores enjoyed one big time during the first semester. One beau- tiful evening the class journeyed to the home of Mr. Long where all enjoyed a pleasant time. All the pupils enjoyed a fine Christmas vacation and came back ready for work. The last semester there was not much stirring in the Sohpomore class though we tried to liven it up. The agricultural department held a rodent killing contest in which several' Sophomores took part. They also held a Father and Son banquet in which the Sophomores were represented. The Sophomore class as a group have found the Freshman easy to get along with and hope that we will have as prosperous a Junior year as we have had as Soph- omores. l nu In-4 Page Twenty-Six is ll 'aglq ECHOES 1928 .legs-'51 Sophomore Class Top Row--Ira Hullinger, Henry Core, Velma Leasor, Howard Plikerd, Robert Beerman, Ruie Oakes, Francis Miller, Hallet Donivan, Vada Blakely, Dorothy Keller, Ruth Hoch, Bernice Putman, Belva Heil, Opal Reynolds.

Most of their time was spent in studying, al- lowing but little time for social activities. . Their first outing was a weiner roast in the woods of Mr. Long. After i the weiner roast a group of upper classmen initiated them. The teachers present were: Miss Harter, Miss. Hursh, Mr. Lord, Mr. Minning, and Mr. Smith. - ,An algebra class party was held at the school building, given the first section by the section of algebra students.

The spirit manifested within the Junior High this year showed that the stu- dents were preparing themselves to take a loyal part in the larger Senior High and la- ter, the greatest school life. The students have made some very definite strides forward. Under the direc- tion of Miss Hursh each grade composed and set to music a song expressing its attitude toward the Jlmior High. Among other projects the main cast for Plymouth Rock, an operetta given by the grades, was chosen from our ranks. We are proud to say that the production was very successful. ' gk . The Washington and the Coolidge Literary Societies were organized to develop literary power by giving everyone an equal chance to develop his talent. Each society offered a regular monthly program, to which visitors came and were welcomed. , An outgrowth of literary work, was the sponsoring of several spirited debates. Affirmative and Negative teams were organized and many interesting questions set- tled. We hope' to see some of our members develop their power of oratory. Much interest has developed in Basketball. Regular practices were possible due to the renovating of one of our grade building rooms for that purpose. Both boys and girls have manifested skillful work. The faculty in charge of the department consisted of W. R. Briggs and Mildred C. Becker, the former teaching English, Geography, Spelling, Writing, and Hygiene, and the latter teaching Arithmetic, History, Civics, Reading, and Agriculture. The yearly enrollment in Junior High was 77. 5. ,M Page Thirty 5:51911 ECHOES 1928 ,IGJQEB3 Jun'fBi 'High School Top Row-Charles Hemenway, Charles Workman, Jack Detrick, Layton Place, Paul Moore, Maurice Richardson, Ralph Hemenway, Robert Stonehill.

When the call for a Junior High Team was given late in November, 1927, a good delegation from both 7th and 8th grades was sent. At one of the first meetings, of this group Jack Detrick was elected as Captain for the Basketball seasonof '27-'28. After a few strenuous practices the first squad was picked and from these, the team which was to represent the Junior High at the games was selected. The squad was given the kind consent of Mr. Jordan for the use of the High School Gym for practice one night a week. Toward the last of the year one of the grade rooms was turned-.into the gym, and our boys had more chances to practice. We were permitted to play preliminary games with the upper High School classes and this was a great help in the development of our basketball team. In these games we made a good showing. We played a game with the Junior High of Gomer. In the first half of this game it seemed to be a clean sweep for the local team, but during the last half the' strong defense of the Gomer team checked our boys. In the last few seconds of the game, our boys came through with a basket, breaking the tied score and winning the game by a score of 17 to 15. This year has been a very successful year for us and we are looking forward to a successful team next year. ll t of Page Thirty-Two Gigi, EcHoEs 1928 493-'55 unior High Girls Basketball Team Top Row-Gay Hydaker, Virginia Davis, Lulu Andrews, Edna Roeder, Dorotha Thomas Sylvia Roeder, Evelyn Steiger.

School had not begun long until intense interest arose in the possibility of Girls Basketball. So very early in the season practice was begun. About twenty-one of our girls came out for training, making possible a Junior High team as well as a team composed of each grade separately. The teams have done splendid work under the direction of Edna Roeder, and we expect to see some of our players star in Senior High. Contests were staged between grades, and the combined team met the Fresh- men three times. No out-of-town games were staged this season, but as we grow we expect to challenge outside skill. Besides the benefits in physical development, we feel that the inter-class con- tests developed a better school spirit and have helped to develop our characters by bringing out the best that was in us.

The three members chosen for making out the programs were Ned Goss, Howard Bowersock and Francis Failor. We were the first to start the ball rolling and we met once every month. Mr. Jordan helped us with material for them and each student was required to act some time during the year with either a reading, music or some form of amusement. One of the greatest things in the society was the orchestra, which was com- posed of' five Seniors and two Sophomores. We hope that the Juniors will make our society as great a success next year as it has been this year.

The Juniors thought that the two best classes ever-belonginggto the Spencer- ville High School met and enjoyed themselves on that occasion. We wonder why the Seniors were surprised at the program as announced above, but the Seniors got fooled. The work and cooperation of the committees and the class made the reception a big success, and we have deserved it fully. The Seniors have fully deserved the re- ception they got. We are only sorry that we can't give them another. The program was concealed to the classes of the High School except the Sen- iors.

Spencerville 'displaying a fast brand of basketball was leading until the fourth quarter, when three of her star players were forced out of the game via the personal foul route. The team fought on, but with the absence of the backbone of the team, Margaretta, in the last quarter, netted twelve points to our four, defeating us 30-20. Regular practice was started late, but in a few weeks Coach Minning had de- veloped a fast passing accurate shooting team. The opening game was played'at Gomer where we defeated them in a closely contested battle 38-362 e0n November 29th, we journeyed to Delphos and easily defeat- ed the canal town in a loose scoring game 39-26. .. One of our hardest fought games of the season was played on the home floor, December 2nd, with Lafayette. Leading by two points in the last two minutes was not enough, and three long shots gave us a 27-19 victory. December 9th, the team jour- neyed to Elida. Handicapped by a low ceiling did not hinder us, and we obtained our scorixlig stride, easily defeating them 46-15. The fast Beaverdam quintet handed us our firslfilefeat of the season. In the last minute and a half of play they ran wild, count- ing six points to defeat us 26-21. December 22nd, we were hosts to Shawnee. In a thrilling- game we nosed them out 20'-18. Our holiday vacation proved a benefit as we journeyed to Shawnee and easily defeated them 29-21. Friday, January 13th proved to be a lucky day for Elida. They gave us the biggest surprise of the season when they defeated us in a thrilling game 20-19, but we redeemed ourselves the following week by overwhelming the fast New York Club team from Ohio Northern University 40-23. In a hectic battle at Lafayette, January 20th, a free throw after the final whistle had blown, gave us a 17-16 victory. The following week we easily defeated Delphos 46-15. R. Miller obtained his scoring stride and netted thirteen field goals and two free throws for a total of twenty-eight points. February 3rd we journeyed to Rockford, determined to win, as a former teach- er was their coach. We were victorious 27-19. Again we tasted defeat from the hands of Beaverdam. We were leading at the half and determined to get revenge for the de- feat earlier in the season, but their long shots counted enough points to trounce us 30-16. February 15th we easily defeated Gomer 38-26 . Thru some misunderstanding Rockford forfeited to us. We hope that athletic relations will be resumed next year. In the County Tournament we eliminated our Hrst opponents, Gomer. With a rushing attack the first few minutes of play we piledlxup a comfortable lead, easily de- feating them 33-18. In the semi-finals we easily won over Shawnee, 26-16. Our hopes were crushed in the finals when Bluffton defeated us 32-28. A rally in the last few minutes of play fell short by four points. In the fastest game of the season we defeated Leipsic, winner over South High of Lima, by a 36-25 score and we easily defeated Mt. Victory in the semi-finals 39-26. Columbus Grove, winners over Bluffton in the semi-finals, gave us the hardest fought battle of the tournament and only after every effort was put forth were we able to de- feat them by a score of 24 to 19, to win the sectional championship. A A week later at the Reginal Tournament at Findlay, we defeated Rossford, 31-22, making us champions of sixteen counties. In the semi-finals with Margaretta, our defeat was due to the fact that three star players, Robert Miller, Captain, John Koenig and Rober Failor, were forced out of the game via the personal foul route. In the last quarter they netted twelve points to four, winning 30-20. Our athletes have set our standard high in basketball. Although not winning all of our games, we have established a splendid record and have learned that defeat cannot bring down our high standard of school loyalty. Page Fifty-Two WI!

Our girls had a very successful season this year under the direction of Miss: Harter. They were defeated only once by a High School Team, namely Bluffton, at the county tournament at Shawnee in the semi-finals. The Lima Business College Quintet won here after our girls had defeated them earlier in the season. The captain of the team was W. Steiger. She led the team to many victories. She played forward on the left and when she get the ball it usually went over the rim. The other forward was O. Baker who was always ready to put all she had into the gramc. Our whirlwind center, A. Moorman, towered over all the other centers in the county when it came to height. l also believe it is safe to say that she is the best cen- ter in the county. Our side center was C. Baker. Caroline was always full of pep and although she lost her temper when she saw that our team wasn't getting a squaredeal, but she never got into any serious trouble. Our staunch guards were E. Roeder and B. Wright. They held the forwards of the other teams down to a low score and were largely responsible for many of the victories. Our subs were almost equal to our main team and to prove this, Lois Kephart. made the all star county team at the county tournament at Shawnee. The other subs were M. Townsend, L. Henne, and A. Martin. Among those to graduate this year are A. Moorman, O. llaker, W. Steiger, and Fl. Reeder. These will be missed very much but we hope to have as much success next year as we had this past season. TH E GA MES Spencerville Gomer ..............................

The first game was played on the local diamond with the Northwestern School of Commerce and in a pitching duel we defeated them 2-1. Our next game was also played on the home diamond with Bluffton. The score was tie until the final inning when Leis clouted out a three-base hit with two on to win his own game 5-3. In an- other pitchers duel at Delphos we lost 3-2. An error in the final inning was respon- sible for the winning run. In the Fall of '27 the team got away to a bad start due to inclement weather conditions, but three games were scheduled and played, Spencer High emerging vic- torious in but one of the frays. The first game was played with Buckland and in a free slugging contest we defeated them 10-8. We journeyed to Gomer to play the fol- lowing game. Numerous errors were costly and we lost 7-4. The last game of the Fall season we fell before the onslaught of Gomer, 11-1. Mr. Lord, the baseball mentor for the Spring of '28 developed a lille team in short order. Our first game was played with Elida on the new High School diamond. Leading until the final inning a rally on the part of the visitors totaled four runs to trounce us 6-3. The following week we were hosts to the Blume High tossers of Wa- pakoneta. Though the game was losely played by both teams, we were victorious in the slugging contest 13-11.

A keen sense of rivalry existed between the classes this year during the Intra- Mural Tournament. The tournament was opened between the Frshemen and Junior girls, the Junior girls winning by the one sided score of 30-5. The Junior boys elim- inated the Freshmen boys in a slow game by the score of 25-12. The Senior girls trounced the Sophomore girls in a fast passing game 44-3. The Senior boys, favorites fto win the inter-class event, trimmed the Sophomore boys in a closely contested game- 22-17. In the finals the Senior girls won the girls inter-class event by defeating the Junior girls. The Senior's defense was perfect thru out the game, the Juniors not count- ing a point and their fast passing attack enabled them to win by the overwhelming score of 39-0. ' In the fastest game of the tournament, and only after three over-time periods, the Junior boyslwon the boys inter-class championship, by defeating the Senior boys 26-25. The Seniors held a 13-4 lead at the end of the first quarter and a 15-12 lead at. the half. Four of the Senior boys were forced out of the game via the personal foul route, which was the cause of their downfall as the Juniors netted three points from the charity line during the last minute of play to win 26-25. Business Management The Spencervillo High School Athletic Association is deeply indebted to Mr, Jordan, John Koenig and Donald Sawmiller for the splendid manner in which they con- ducted the financial management of all the athletic activities. To those who do not know we wish to inform that to carry on any line of athletic activity is very expensive and great care must be taken so as to make 'both ends meet.' In the past Spencer Hi has only had basketball and baseball, but with the new athletic field, arrangements are being made to make a new baseball diamond with grandstand and bleachers, track and tennis courts. It is also hoped that in the near future that Spencer Hi will have a football team. Plans are being made to construct a football field and as a decided interest is being taken in football without a doubt- Spencer Hi will add that sport to her program. n il Page Fifty-Six , Q . if I .Lv Q'5'il9ll ECHOES 1928 ,ff Iicvfej ' CALENDAR 49, B xr. w hifi? 12233 o gif ,.
