Our superintendent, Mr. Mc- Cleary, introduced, during the following year, many extra-curricular activities in which we took an active part. We have continued, throughout the four years of our high school life, to be well represented in the existing activities. Miss Deemer continued as our class sponsor during our Sophomor and the follow- ing two years. We numbered sixty-four in our second high school year. As Juniors, our enrollment was fifty-nine. During that year we held a weiner roast with the Seniors on the school grounds, and later in the year we had a Junior party. Our Junior play, Who Wouldn't Be Crazy ? was a pronounced success. When we entertained the Seniors at the annual reception on April 7, 1933, all those present enjoyed a really outstanding evening. ' As Seniors of 1934, we are sorry our school days are so nearly over, We started our last year with an enrollment of fifty-three, but we lost three, leaving us fifty strong. A weiner roast was held with the Juniors on the school grounds. We also had a rabbit supper in November. We were ably represented in the Eisteddfod, Operetta and the various clubs. We spent a very enjoyable evening with the Juniors at the Junior- Senior reception. Our class plays, Oh, My Stars! and Oh, Professor, were very successful. As Graduation and Commencement draw near and we must leave our dear old Hi, the fifty Seniors of '34 bid our friends, classmates, and teachers farewell!

Glee Club 3, 4 Vocal Eisteddfod 3, 4 Operetta 4 The Class Of 1934 In 1950 As the World's Fair was being held in San Fran- cisco, we decided to go. We boarded the train one morning and after inquiring, discovered that our en- gineer was Kenneth Laman. Upon nearing our first stop, the conductor came around yelling at top speed. It was Dale Plikerd. The train stopped at a small town in Missouri. Robert Shaffer, acting as a poli- tician, was standing near the depot delivering a speech to about ten people. On the opposite side, in the upstairs window, was Martha Craig dreamily reciting her latest love lyric, We hadn't noticed who had boarded the train, but it was surely brought to our attention. What a noise! It was the former Pearl Howell with eight or eleven children. Our route took us through Colorado. On a sign board along the railroad was The Simindinger and Rob- ison Ranch. We found that they were our two old schoolmates. Then, to our surprise. a man told us that they had married Gertrude Rohrback and Vio- let Wilkins. We wondered how Ivan Simindinger and Gertrude got along. Having decided to spend a day in Salt Lake City, we prepared to get off the train. We spent the day on the shore of the Great Salt Lake. We saw Ruth Metzger in bathing, and thought she must have come here to learn to swim. because she knew that she couldn't sink. She told us that Rosalie Hennon was president of a girls' academy there, We arrived in San Francisco in the morning and got into the nearest taxi. When we got out and paid the driver, we found it to be Mack Sutton. We went into the hotel and over to the manager's office. What a surprise when Joe Wright stepped forward. Another surprise came when June Core took us to our rooms. While resting we lis- tening to the radio. The announcer said that we would now hear the world's best crooner. It was Robert Mack with E'velyn DeLong as his accompan- iest. We listened to them as long as we could stand it, and then changed to something else, We heard someone talking about giving children sun baths. It was Annadelle Detrick giving a speech on the care of children. The announcer then said that because of Eddie Cantor's illness, Howard Miller would take his place on the following Sunday night. After be- ing suificiently rested, we went to a beauty shop. We found Norma Miller and Edna May at our ser- vice. They told us that Mildred Moorman was man- ager of the dress shop around the corner. Then, for a look at the Pacific. On the shore we found a large crowd. On the platform was Robert Baldwin. He was being presented With the medal which iden- tified him as the world's champion swimmer. We decided to take a ride in a speed boat and went in Elmer Burnett's boat. What a ride! On the fol- lowing dav, before entering the grounds, we went into the planetarium and found Forest Wells to be the owner. We then entered the fair grounds and. of course, rented chairs in which to ride, and who should get the job of pushing us but Harold Mon- tague and Joseph Fisher. We supposed Harold was still trying to reduce, because he did look rather thin. We saw a clown running around on the fair grounds and finally discovered that it was Ned Zim- merman. He was advertising the best kind of shoe laces to use. We entered the Hall of Science and went to the manager's office to inquire about an ex- hibit. We found him sleeping. When he opened his eyes, it proved to be Ralph Hayman. In the after- noon we took a ride in the World's Fair Zeppelin. Raymond Lippincott was its pilot with Lois Major as hostess. Later we passed the Enchanted Isle for children. We read on the sign that Ruby Myers was manager. A little further on we noticed a small building built in the shape of a dog. The building belonged to Harriett Sherer. She was running a home for dogs whose owners wished to leave them with her while they were at the fair. On the next day, we went into the grounds through another en- trance. We walked a little while and then we heard someone saying, He1'e's where you get your cider and doughnuts. We turned to see who it was and there was Robert Price and the former Pauline Der laney. I guessed Pauline was making the dough- nuts, holes and all, In the commercial building we heard someone reading as fast as they could. It was Mary Price giving the dictation for the National Dictation Test. Buelah Brenneman was among those taking it. We found later that she had won the championship. It was about time for lunch so we Went into the nearest restaurant. Its proprietor was Leona Shepler. We ordered a chicken dinner, which we got, complete with feathers. The orchestra played while we ate, but there were may discords. When the leader turned for applause we saw that it was Isabelle Goodwin. In the afternoon we saw a stand where pop guns were being sold. The stand was operated by Theodore Miller and his wife, the former Sarah Ann Eisley, supplying the pops, The last day of our stay, proved to be an enjoyable one, too. In the morning we listened to a Welsh chorus under the direction of Ollen Jones. After this we went to Ripley's Believe-It-Or-Not building. In there we saw Paul Rahrig masquerading under the name of the One-Man-Band. He was playing six- teen instruments at one time. In order to relax be- fore our trip home, we decided to go to a Chapel 'meeting held on the fair grounds. The principal speakers were Wanda Thompson and Armand John- son. The choir leader was Nina Miller. Seated at the organ was Elsie Leis, In the middle of the meet- ing she started playing, Hail, Hail The Gang's All Here. This was such a shock to us that we both fainted. When we gained consciousness we were in the fair-ground hospital. There, bfore us was Har- old Mechling in a doctor's uniform with Ruth Brooks as his head nurse. On the following day we set out for Spencerville. We thought that the trip had been enjoyable and profitable for us, two well-preserved old maids, Opal Davies and Jane Burnett.

Sophomore Clliss Diary In September, 1932 sixty-seven Freshmen en- rolled in Spencerville High School, destined to be- come the Class of the Year 1936 . We thought as others before us fand likewise to no availy that we were not given the recognition due us either by the faculty or the upper classmen, but gradual- ly we saw that this was more due to our disillu- sionment than from lack of respect of our super- iors and accepted our lot with a smile. We saw that we had just begun. Our boys basketball team made a very credit- able showing in the Intra-Mural tournament, and with Dwight Becker as our worthy President and Mr. Hausser as sponsor we passed a very success- ful year being well represented both in athletics and music. ln September, 1933 ,this same group enrolled as dignified Sophomores and at a very stormy and almost riotous class meeting elected John W. Cochrun as class president. Thus on the shoulders of this stalwart journalist was placed the burden of the trials and tribulations of about sixty-five self assertive students. Mr. Cochrun had the very 'able assistance of Dean T. Deniston as vice president, Mary Lauer, secretary, Ruth E. Hayes treasured and Vaughn Hilty as reporter. Mr. Hausser was again our sponsor. The outstanding social event of the year was the Freshman-Sopho- more Weiner Roast where we had a chance to sympathize with the Frosh. Several of our class members pulled first team berths both in Basketball and Baseball. In music we did shine. We were justly proud of our Sophomore quartet that took first place in the Eisteddfod at Elida. In the orchestra and newly organized band we also have a hearty representation and some of our better yodelers crashed the Glee Club. The Sophomore boys furnished a very hard fought thriller in the Intra-Mural Basketball Tournament when they de- feated the Junior boys to the tune of 17-19, only to go down to defeat under the noble QU Seniors 12-14. Our girls drew the Freshmen in their intra-Mural and though they founght gallantly they were defeated 16-10.

Our Sponsor was Miss Reiner. The most important event of the year was the annual weiner-roast and our initiation by the Seniors, in October. We chose yellow and blue as our class colors and elected Harold Augsburger for our president, Billy Foster vice president, Evelyn Failor secre- tary and Betty Clantz reporter. We are exceedingly proud of two of our mem- bers who represented our school in the Eisted- Lowell Miller. Get Started dfod at Elida this year. The class was well represented in Basketball, showing up very well in the intra-mural tourna- ment, our boys nearly winning out. Our boys' team consisted of Roeder, Capt.g Price, Miller, Sowards, Reynolds, Burnett, Baldwin, Jones, Ashton, Crider, Howell, Siebert and Miller. The grils' team that played the Junior team was: Mack, Capt., Failor, Carey, Stonehill, Metzger, Roberts and Stonehill. In another year we will be Sophomores.

The Orchestra has played success- fully for many of the High School entertainments, but due to lack of competing schools it was decided that there would be no Instrumental Eisteddfod this year. We regret the loss of several of our Senior members but we are looking forward to a successful your in '35.

Girls Glee Club Has Good Year The Girls' Glee Club consisting of 45 girls under the supervision of Miss Hursh and with Jane Burnett as pianist, were able to do many worth while things this year. Our girls were well represented in the third County Eistemldfod at Elida, several win- ning first and second places. We have also taken part in various local programs, one of the best which we consider being our Operetta Ask the Professor . The Boys' and Girls' have worked diligently together at several times, and we hope that the good we have derieved from the Glee Club will help us as time goes on.

Boys Glee Club Work Aids Singers The Boys' Glee Club made a good showing in whatever it attempted during the year, the Operetta was an extraordinary success, and several of the members of the organization, aided by its training, won very high places in the Vocal Eisteddfod at Elida. We sang at several of the school programs and we feel, as the year draws to a close, that the training afforded us by being in the Glee Club has helped us im- measurable in learning the true value of good music. Miss Hursh was our instructor and our pianist was Mary Price, both of whom we are grateful to, for their splendid help and faithful services. Page Twenty-three A Clarinets- R. Lowry B. Rider N.

Under our faithful manager, Rev. Wood, the band has increased in number until at the present time we have forty-two members. Although the band has just started it has made several public appearances playing for basket ball games and in concerts. We went to Delphos April 21 for the North Western Ohio Band contest, in which sixteen bands participated in competetive playing. The bands were divided into two grougs according to their age. Delphos won flrse in the older group, and we took first place in the younger group. Thus we are entitled to enter the State Band Contest at Columbus on May 19. We are expecting to make a very good showing at that time. There is a great future in store for the band and we are looking forward with high hopes to the oncoming year. To our director, Myron Pearce of Van Wert, we wish to express our gratitude for his tireless, unflinching service. Page Twenty-four Juniors Successfully Present Speeding Along November 10, '33 CAST OF CHARACTERS Bobby Larrabee, the store-keeper at Larrabee Cove - Wuggins, an orphan adopted by Bobby - Charlie Dogberry, telegraph operator - Molly Malloy, reporter on the Sentinel Granny, Bobby's grandmother - - Paul Stevens, owner of speed boat, Flying Jack Curtis, a stranger ----- Mrs. Newcome, a guest of Paul Stevens - Angela, Mrs. Newcome's angel child - Vivian, her daughter ---- The Professor, fond of fishing - - Miss Lavina, fond of the Professor - Thornton Hathaway, owner of the speedboat, Speed King Cloud The play slipped into first gear right at the start with plucky Bobby,' Larrabee running a resort store to support her grandmother and Wuggins, and at the same time trying to prove that the Larrabee Motor for speed boats, the invention of her dead father, was the best of its kind. The play slid along into second when Paul Stevens, who entered a competing boat in the big race of' the year, tried at the same time to win Bobby's affections and to prevent her friend, Mr. Hathaway, from win- ning with the Larrabee Motor. And Paul's high-hat friends from the fashionable end of the lake made things move faster by snubbing Bobby and the folks of the Cove. And by the time the mysterious Jack, a fellow who lived like a tramp but acted like a gentleman, put in his hand, the play sped along in high at a great rate, throwing off huge waves of comedy and drama. During the rest of the play, the speed mounted and the complications thickened, until Bobby was left tied and gagged behind the counter of her store while the returns of the race began to come in over the radio. Things straightened out, however, and Bobby received her due reward as .lack turned out to be the son of Mr. Hathaway, whose boat won the race.

Hauser, and was presented with special arrangement with the Dramatic Publishing Company. The character parts were excellent being full of laughs and comic business. Senior Ilramatics have been well represented by both the plays this year. We know that we have gained much from the time spent on them, and although we may make little direct usage of drama after our graduation, we know that portrayal of character is one of the best ways of learning how to interpret the actions of the people about us, to find out what is behind mere appearances.

When the wealthy Michael Pemberton proposed to swap jobs with Professor Court- wright, he didn't realize half the trouble that lay ahead, for Michael discovered that he had contracted to teach astronomy to a flock of pert boarding school misses. It all looked very complicated, but the kinks ironed out and everyone was pleased. Eileen Reiner and Wilma Rickenbacher directed this play.

M. C. A. in Lima. Mr. Fuller drilled our team, consisting of Forest Wells, Roger Robinson, Ivan Siminrlinger, Willard Miller, Harold Patrick, and Robert Miller, for several weeks. When we went to Lima we drew Shawnee to play for a majority of two games out of three. We had no difficulty in winning those first two games. We then played Elida three fast games, coming' out on top with two victories making us elegible to move up to the finals. We were pretty tired by that time, however, we started very well against Lafayette, but they won the two necessary games to make them winners, In as much as this is the first year we have tried any competitive volleyball, we feel duly proud of our team. Dick Johns, Maurice Macklin, Paul Haver, Thomas Reynolds and Armand John- son supported the team as seconds. Page Thirty Baseball Fever Comes With Spring Early in April Mr. Fuller called for the boys interested in baseball. A large number came out, and the players will be Austin Hoverman, Robert Price, Ivan Simindinger, Roger Robinson, Carl Davies, Ollen Jones, Thomas Reynolds, Bob Townsend, Bill Neidhardt, John Eley, Harold Patrick, Norman Martin, Orion Miller, Lowell Bowersock, Willard Miller, Ned Roedcr, Armand Johnson and Robert Miller. The team has been practicing as much as the weather will permit, and we are hoping that they will show up well in the games which are to be played. A County League has been formed, and the games are scheduled among the different members.
