You seem to know just where he goes, Though many times he steps on your toes. You shoot the ball from afar, just like we watch a falling star. At last the whistle blows for half, You leap, like wild! for the door in wrath, The boys all go and talk things over, And promise to play like men, together. Again the boys appear on the floor, And crowds of people gather at the door. You put up a iight hard and clean, The ball rolls and you are on the scene. The game becomes very exciting, And it will be hard deciding, We never stop to think who'll win, Beecause, you seem to drop them right in. Happy girls and boys are we, As we all leave the building full of glee, The praises go to many sons, And often times you are the one. LORAINE COLE, '2 5.

It might be thought that the class was too taken up in its own affairs to take heed of what was happening all around us. just the opposite took place. Vile ro-operated from the iirst with everything around us and were able to boast of one or more members in all school activities. Competent class officers were selected at our first class meeting, namely: Robert Gunn, President, Myrdith Hartzell. Vice-Presidentg Luther Carlo, Treasurer. and Ruth Bonnewitz, Secretary. To renew friendships and establish more class spirit, a hayrack party was given October w It was indeed a merry event and Well succeeded in its purpose. Noxember 2 we all disguised ourselves and went to the Hallowelen party. The annual Penny Fair, january ll, was a great success. Then February 8 the Seniors entertained the juniors at a party. In return they pud us back with interest, when they invited us to their party April 14. A lailor Vlade Man was carefully chosen to be our class play.

BQ of 224, of Van Wert High School. Miss Virginia Bien talking-Hello folks of the good old class of '24. I hope there are just heaps of you listening in on the radio tonight, for I've news concerning all the members of our dear old class. I met several of the girls downtown today, and we had a jolly old times chat'l at lunch. I met Lillian Benson, Margaret Webber, Charlotte Fugate and Lenore Hoghe, and it was from them that I got most of my news. It seems that Benny, Pauline Hoffman, Wava Ringer and Grace Duprey are all 'fschool marms out at our own Marsh Foundation, and Benny testified that they sure have their hands full managing the noisy children. William Allison is janitor in the same noble institu- tion. I learned, much to my surprise, that Marcile Ireton is a iiourishing business woman and can be seen driving her handsome ecru colored mare and wagon to match around the country on her rural mail delivery, or hanging out her washing on the line Qit's hinted that she is the most skillful washwoman in seven counties and manages to support the whole Conley tribe on her earningsj. The Bell boys, Gaylord and Wilbert, are now in court, I am ashamed to state, on a charge of editing in partnership a very shocking magazine called 'fWindy Talesjl a magazine, I take it, similar to Breezy Stories. Goldie Boham, Marguerite Crab- tree, Mary Fryer and Lydia Gocke have established an Old Maids Home and elected as their president Dick Priddy, who is filling his position admirably, assisted by Dean Pennell. I forgot to say that the lawyer for the defense in the Bell boys, trial is Bob Conley, who is now reduced to but a mere shadow of his former self by diligent and exhaustive study. Bernice Blake is married to her Ralph dearf' and they are happy in their missionary work in Greenland. It seems that in their honeymoon sojourn to the north land, Bernice was moved by the condition of the nation, so she and Ralph remained to reform them. Pearl Logan can now talk as much as she wishes to her Clyde for lo, she is now Mrs. Holtrey, wife unto the biggest railroad man in the state of Ohio. Cally is an automobile magnate in Detroit, having turned down a dazzling offer to sing When You and I Were Young, Maggie, in vaudeville. Bob Gunn lost all his money by getting married before he was twenty-five. He had made a bet, with an old flame of his, that he wouldn't do that, so of course when he lost by marrying the little girl of HN' York,'l he had to start at the bottom, but now he has amassed a huge fortune by the manufacture of shoe strings. Vera Gabriel, Bill Myers and Alice Rumble are now Hslinging hashu in Chicago restaurants. Carl Starkey is pitching for one of the big league teams and is quite devoted to his work. Red Wilson works in Woolworth's ladies, wearing apparel de- partment, Luther Carlo is a prominent Wall street financier. Millard Koogle is a train conductor and is happily married to a cross-eyed, bowlegged brunette. Leland Sharp is behind the bars for motorcycle speeding. john jackson is now a famous movie star in Hollywood. Paul Denig, Forrest Hertel and Lawrence Dewitt are wealthy ditch diggers and ride to work every day in their Rolls Royces. Peck Eck and Vern Hertel work on the section and may be seen any morning bidding their wives an ardent adieu as they depart for the work train with their dinner pails a worried look on her face whom We recognized as Ruth Bonnewitz, and we greeted Ax .0 Page Thirty if X 6' 1 am ICD! llllhikhi p x D 2 Q-I. At this point our conversation was interrupted by the entrance of a woman with i 4 -2- - w cm A A , ww' - ' f Q . lrflli 4 vi '-6 ll bl Q djllw' her with great joy. She explained in answer to our inquiries that she was so worried because she couldn't ind a pair of rompers to lit Billy junior. But soon she forgot her maternal worries and was sharing in our gossip and contributing what she knew of the old gang. She told us that Jerry Eikenbary was writing on advice to the love lorni' column in the Ritchie Gazette, with Sunday warnings to the young and unwary to beware the fickleness of men. Bonny also told us that Vesta Maxton, being disappointed in love, had gone into a convent. Oyezie Gunsett had an apple ranch for should I say orchardj out in California. She now has all the apples she 56 452 Ii La., I s I ': 1, .59 Q wants to eat. Marcia Ireton is a far1ner's wife and has two beautiful children. Country air evidently agrees with her for you would hardly recognize her in her blooming buxomness. We all left the lunch table to go to a musical show now popular on Broadway called the Heebie-jeebie Musical Revue. We were only interrupted once on our way to the theater, and that was by a solemn looking minister whom We recognized as dear old Bob Hines. In response to our eager and surprised greeting he only shook his head reproachfully and rebuked us for our worldliness and frivolity in attending a musical show. As he passed on we caught a glimpse of his dashing young wife in whom we recognized Helen Spayd. As we continued on our way we passed a build- ing on the window of which was painted the advertisement V, Campbell, Professor of Muscular Development and Physical Culture. So that is the fate of Ginny Campbell, poor girl. After arriving at the theater and procuring our seats we con- tinued our gossip. Lenore vouchsafed the information that Lillian Wise, Mabel Lampe, Velma Harmon and Margaret Webber were successful typists in government work at Washington, D. C. It was then that Bonny leaned over to me and whisp- ered, 'tDo you know where Mim Springer is? I said No, to which she replied, She has a splendid position in a deaf and dumb asylum teaching the pupils Greek and conducting a class in scientific bridge. She has just published quite a brilliant document called Fraternities Again the general conversation was resumed and we learned that Boniti Eutsler conducts New York's leading beauty parlor, that Edith Palmer is charming every one by her work on the concert stage, and Elizabeth Stutsman is on the lecture platform with her famous lecture entitled, i'Why I Do Not Trust Menf' Her lectures are illustrated by pictures drawn by her inseparable and artistic companion, Helen Wilson. The show began and our chatter was temporarily checked. 'VVe all expressed audibly our surprise upon discovering Clara Johnson as the chorus director, and in the chorus groups were old old friends, Ruth Dake, Mary Severn, Regina Palmer, Ruth Steinmetz, Ruth W'oten, with' the Bayles twins balancing the ends of the chorus line. The costumes were shockingly brief, and one man had to be yanked from the baldheaded row for noisy conduct caused by overenthusiasm. In spite of his bald- head and specs we recognized Maurice Walter as he was taken forcibly away from the scene of attraction and action. Art Lybarger, Bert McGinnis and Norm Conn had leading parts in the show, and I couldn't suppress a little shriek when I heard Art give his well known t'Happy, Though Married monologue, and I learned the sad fact that by virtue of an unhappy wedlock he is able to speak the time-honored words from experience and from his heart.

There were three football letter men and one basketball hero. Watch us next year, classmen. The Seniors entertained us at a party in the gym, and each one declared he had a wonderful time. Following this, our time was devoted to preparations for the junior Class Play, The Charm School, and didn't we have charm? It was under the directorship of Mr. Sager. We now have our thoughts centered on the biggest event of the season. Prom! It indeed will be the most beautiful and entertaining feature of the year. Thus having esablished a pleasing record in the past we turn our eyes with eager anticipation toward our senior year. HELEN E. RILLING, '25.

I that morningls mail she had received her last story, rejected and returned to her. She had put a great deal of effort on it, too, for she felt it must be accepted. The return of all Helen's stories really meant very much to her, financially as well as otherwise. Her health had required this summer to be spent at the seashore, and in order to have sufficient funds for completing her last year in college, she had taken up writing. She had evidently judged her writing ability too highly accord- ing to the amount of material returned to her. Occupied by these many thoughts she reached a quiet spot where she decided ro spend the afternoon. There was a large rock some distance from the shore which she decided to swim out to. She knew no one would take the trouble to disturb her in this isolated place. Finding the rock delightfully cool and the lapping of the water most soothing to her troubled mind, she settled down for some real thinking. Helen, being tired and discouraged, was soon sound asleep. She remained asleep, there being nothing to rouse her, until nightfall. Suddenly awakening with a start, it took several seconds for her scattered mind to adjust itself. First realizing where she was, she was quite absorbed by the near- ness of the water to her position. Evidently the tide was rising rapidly, which meant she must get to shore as soon as possible since the undertow would become stronger with each minute lost. In her haste she did not notice that she was striking out in the wrong direction. After what seemed an unusually long time, she reached the shore, Helen noticed the land seemed rather unfamiliar but decided it was on account of the darkness. After walking for some time she suddenly stopped. She now realized she was on unknown ground, but couldn't imagine how she could have possibly lost her way. So she decided to continue on but stay near the shore, watching for some sign of life. In a very short time she came into a slight clearing. She saw an old shanty and smelled smoke, but could perceive no light. She was somewhat frightened, however. by moans which seemed to issue from the cabin, so approaching very cautiously she found herself before the open door. VVithin she could see an old woman lying on a cot. The woman seemed to be delirious so Helen decided to stay for the night and help the woman as much as possible. She prepared some supper for herself and thf woman. By morning the old woman was herself again and very much surprised to find Helen there. She learned from the old woman that she had crossed a narrow neck 52' f l Z Q ? ' 4 ' .,-s 3 'E I - Y ...

She also learned that this woman was one she had often noticed at the settlement and whom the people considered very queer! The old woman hearing Helen's story proved to be even queerer. She said that she intended to finance I-Ielen's last year in school, giving only as her reason that Helen had given her aid when she might have run away. However, Helens good fortune did not stop here. She wrote of her experience and sent it to her favorite l i , A lei Nlllllllnim. 3 Sp ' 4 magazine. It proved to be her best and was accepted with compliments, so that Helen's ambitions were more than realized. Autobiography of cz Pekinese NVhile I am recuperating from a sojourn in the great wide world I will write you a brief account of my life. The first thing I remember perfectly after getting 1ny eyes open, is my being torn ruthlessly from my loving mother by a human who surveyed me through a lorgnette and said, Yas, I'll take this one, he is really a beautiful creatuahf' A person in uniform, whom the woman called Hjamesf' wrapped me in a blanket and carried me away. VVhen we arrived at our destination I was delivered to the tender mercies of a French maid named Hortense. From that day on I was regularly fed, bathed, perfumed, taken for airings, and petted. One day while riding in the limousine with my mistress, I attempted to stand up and look out of the window, but the car struck a bump and I sat down, not very gracefully I admit. My mistress promptly came to my rescue, saying, James, drive slowah, please, so the little deah can keep his equilibriumfl It was upon this same ride that I saw one of my own kind and I barked a greet- ing. My mistress silenced me with the following advice, Reginald, don't be so plebeian.', I discovered not very long ago that humans are very deceitful. The other day when Hortense was tying a yellow ribbon instead of the usual pink one upon my neck I playfully bit her. She iiew into a rage and grasping me by the back of the neck and shaking me fiercely screamed Mon Dieu you pugnosed little beast if Xou do that again I'll strangle you! Flhe little bell tinkled that meant my mistress ix anted me Hortense mumbled some French words and hastily finished tying my ribbon When we reached my mistress, Hortense was caressing my ears and calling me fond names. Later she e X W lllwkwh 7 . ' . . H ' . ' , - ' 7 x ' J 1 1 ' ' J . 77 , , . . . .1 Q V , Q f d 5 Page Fvffy-fwfr A x m...

As I was saying before, I had a sojourn in the wide world. A few days ago Hortense took me with her when she went down to tell the cook that the parlor maid had her hair bobbed. The delivery boy came in and left the door slightly open. What a divine opportunityjl though I, to see the world. .fi IQ.,-iw 6 I 9 1 Q, 4- 'cw - :.q! ' mlt A Qi S ,' v j 1 4 2 ? So when Hortense was not looking I made my escape. At first I was frightened, and almost returned home, but when I thought of Hortense and those horrid pink ribbons, I was determined to make my way in the world. After creeping out of the garden gate and trotting a short distance I met two of my kind. A brish terrier and a huge collie lay dosing before a grocery. The terrier instantly started barking impolitely at me, but the big dog merely opened his eyes and closed them again as though I was not worth looking at. It angered me to see a mere dog bark at me in that manner, so I ba1'ked back. I cannot tell you what followed, I dragged 1ny mutilated form to a neighboring door mat and lay down as carefully as possible. The sun was down, and the evening breeze was very chilly. Visions of my dear home came to me, I wanted my ribbon, and james and Hortense, and above all, my soft cushion upon which to lay my aching body. I was awakened from my dreams by a ragged little boy who picked me tenderly up, saying, Bless 1ny button if there aint Mis' Rolls-Royce's dorg, if I take im 'ome I'll get a reward. XVhen we reached home we found my mistress weeping and scolding Hortense, who was crying loudly. Needless to say that my mistress burst into fresh floods of tears at the joyful sight of her Hdeah little Reggie. Now, whenever I think of my chewed ears and the patches of fur gone from my beautiful tail I say to myself, Indeed, there is no place like home-to a Pekinesef' RUTH. CONN.

She wondered why Sam didn't appear. After waiting as long as she thought she dared. she answered the ring herself and there stood Sain thoroughly enjoying the scene. NVhy Sam, began Mrs. Gray, but was interrupted by Sain saying, You fool me, I fool you. He! He! Mrs. Gray reproved him severely and fearfully wondered what he would do next. That afternoon, on hearing the door bell ring, Mrs. Gray hid herself behind a curtain to see how Sain performed his duties. Sam promptly opened the door and quite distinctly said, f'You got ticket, you come in. You no got ticket, you stay out.', Sam 'left the next day.

But they were out of the Northwestern Conferenfe so we had a 1000 per cent team. Football Season Finishing up the last four games of the '23 schedule in winning form, the sup- porters of V. XV. H. S. felt confident of a champion 1924 team.Their confidence was not misplaced in the Big Red team for it did run in championship form, piling up 237 points to opponents 473 shutting out rivals in nine games and scored on once on the home field. A squad of 32 appeared for first night practice, and an average of 28 was kept throughout the season. Bob Moore had the confidence and respect of every man, and out of that he built a smooth working machine that never slipped a cog in any game. Every man was in to win for V. VV. H. S., and we succeeded in such a way that Van Wert backed us to a man. Not since the Big Red Team of 1916 has such a record turned out. The season opened at St. Marys, where nervousness and hard luck caused a tie of 6-6. Following that the team hit their stride and proceeded to wake the town up by a series of shutouts and decisive victories throughout the entire season until the last game, which ended in a physical defeat but a moral victory for clean playing. Van Wert was known as one of the cleanest teams of the association. Eight letter men will be back for next year, and a champion team is predicted. Good luck. Basket Ball Basket ball season opened with a squad of 40 inspiring athletes. This number was soon cut down to a squad of 18, which represented V. W. H. S. through the sea- son, Among these were three veterans holding letters of last year's efforts. Bob Moore turned out a wonderful defensive outfit with an unbeatable passing combina- tion, but in the team there was not one sure shot. It seemed as though victory would be certain for every game and then the shooting would become ragged. Nevertheless the fellows put out some brilliant team work and gave themselves up entirely to the job of creating a sure shot. This was not accomplished but however we had the .satis- faction of winning every game but one. At the conference we started out with a bang and then simmered down, losing to an old rival. Hard luck seemed to follow us but the jinx was not able to kill the old V. VV. fighting spirit. Next year will be different. Our record is not bad though and the gang deserves all the praise they can get. 12134: Fifly-fozn' l lite 1 X S R as ICAIO Q Q .

He was an all around man, being able to play forward and llllllt E iQ guard equally well. In the next three years Chad should be a wonder. NORMAN CONN CAPTAI This was Red's first year on the squad. Although handicapped in size he makes it all vp in speed. Red held down the guard position and was also a good basket shooter. Coach Moore can rely on him for two more years. '24- C0mLie Y , l Due to the ineligibility of Leland Agler, who was elected captain, Connie acted as captain for the squad. He played forward in the lineup, being' more or less a leader for the other fellows. This makes his third letter and we are sorry to say he won't be back to make a fourth in V. NV. H. S. VERNON DUCKWALL- Ducky .AWANNA DEAL- Deal it came to breaking exceptional passes and plays we could always rely upon him. Ducky has one more year to serve for V. VV. H. S. W'e hope he shows up with as much form next year. Deal held down the position of forward due to good team Work and shooting. He could always be relied upon to score for the team whenever sent into the game. Deal has one more year to play for V. VV. H. S. ROBERT FAWCETT, CAPTAIN ELECT- Simbel This is Spicket's second year on the squad. He was shifted from center to guard this year and proved to be a valuable man. Spicket will be back next year and we are sure he will make a good leader for the squad of '24 and '25. FRANK S1PLEs- Si7Je ROBERT GUNN-HBOWIZU H In spite of coming out late in the season Boom proved to be a valuable man for Coach Moore. This was Sipe's second year on the squad and by the looks of things he will have two years more. He was shifted from guard to center and was found to be a valuable man in that position Coach Moore can rely on Sipe for a couple of years yet. This was his second and last year on the squad. Boom is leaving a position on the squad that will be hard to fill. Games Played December 12 .... December 21 January 4 . . January ll ..... january 18 ..... January 25 .... . February 1 ..

She is a Senior and of course will be missed. 625 iALlt'E RUMBLE Alice is a Senior, too, and she will always he remembered for those tricky jumps and her team work with Ruth. This is her iirst year on the varsity but she was a very valuable substitute last year. C35 X lRC1lNlA STEWART junior on our varsityfplayed forward. She played a very good game, especially at the last of the season, and made some fine baskets. C43 GL.4lJVS JENKINS Gladys is a Junior and played forward opposite Iinny. KSQ XVELMA HARMON Senior and played renter. Being rather tall and quick she played a good game. 563 MONTEZ RAVER Montez played side center for the second time on the varsity team. As she is a Junior she will be a valuable reserve for next year's team, 1 Nellie Potts and Norma MacDonald were two very active subs. Nellie is a Freshman and Norma a junior, so they have a promising future. The varsity this year was a little unlucky winning only three games out of eleven during the season. But most of them are new players and have a chance to make next years team very successful. Here's wishing them the best of luck from the I Seniors of 24. tiff N is-2 N l L-Ji QE 1 .ll-D.

They won from the three classes. and all we can say is take it from the pictures. Baseball The baseball season of 1924 gave great promise of successfulness with three letter men and a host of good candidates to pick from. Contrary to previous years We did not have to combat a poor diamond, but the Held was in good condition. Due to lack of practice the first game was lost to Delphos, 8-0, but this acted as an incentive to the team and put determination into them to clean up the following games. This de- termination Was carried out successfully by a 13-2 win over Celina and 7-1 Win over York. Celina, contrary to belief, then came back and won over us, 9-7, and Paulding romped with a good pitcher, 5-O. At the time of writing there are two games yet to be played, and best luck is extended to the team to finish out with a good record. Starkey stepped into the box as a good twirler, and Pennel on the receiving end shows a good aptitude for holding up his end. The field is taken care of by a bunch of underclassmen, leaving only one senior, Connie, to hold uplthe record. Pug Moore as usual deserves a good hand in his efforts to work a new bunch into shape. Better luck next year.

Music Department The Music Department of the Van Wert High School is under the direction of Professor James H. jones, and consists of the following organizations: C hams Club-The chorus is the largest musical organization. Its chief purposes are to build voices and to foster a desire for good music. Every year eighty of the best voices are chosen to give a program in connection with one of the Lyceum num-- bers. The second semester is mostly devoted to preparation for the Interscholastic Music Contest. O7'6lZ6JZ7'fl1T he orchestra affords practice in sight reading and other require- ments necessary in orchestra work. Throughout the year it plays for public enter- tainments and assists in chapel programs. , Bays' and Girls' Glee Clubs-These clubs are made up of the best voices from the chorus. The voices are classified as tenor, baritone, bass, alto and soprano. The music for chapel programs is mainly furnished by members of these clubs. The best voices from both clubs form the chorus to represent Van Wert High School at the 1 Interscholastic Music Contest. The contest will be held this year at Lima, where we l' are eager for V. W. H. S. to win her third prize pendant. auf- N E 1?

The purpose of this club is: Yield to Christian ideals: win other girls to its membership, create a spirit of true fellowship and responsibility among high school girls, act willingly. The club was organized in the year 1921. At first the girls met at each other's homes, but later they were given the use of the clubrooms at the Y, The Y-Hi has several committees that are helpful to both the community and the club. The commit- tees are the ways and means, program, social, publicity, service, and membership The various oiiicers are the president, vice-president, treasurer, secretary, chaplain, and a Freshman representative. There are also two advisors. The dues are 50 cents per year. A A birthday anniversary party is held every year for the club. Some other annual meetings are: The initiation service. It is held about three weeks after the club opens in the Fall. Near Thanksgiving day we usually have a Pound party. Every member brings something for a pot-luck supper, and, besides that, they bring an extra pound of something which is, in turn, handed over to some charity organization. The Kidl' party, which occurs near Christmas, is of interest to all. The last meeting of the year is in the installation of the new officers, but a farewell party is held after that for the Seniors. Every year the president, vice-president and the chairman of the program com mittee go to a conference for girls interested in the Y. W. C. A. work. The girls gain many new ideas here to make the club more interesting. The membership for this year, 1924, is one hundred and twelve girls Page Sixly-.fix N X 5 neue C4..

It consisted of various clubs organized for the purpose of developing each individual along the line in which he might be interested or to which 56 Q g f. !, Ms Er ma ' u X Q 6 f f he has a leaning. The clubs also gave the pupils training in parliamentary proceed- ing and program planning, which is an excellent way to develop leaders and en- courage individuality. The clubs met every two weeks, beginning on December 7. They were organized with the following advisors: Art Club, Miss Henry, Athletic Club, Mr. Moore, Commercial Club, Miss Evans and Mr. Nott, Camp Craft Club, Miss Tracy, Dramatic Club, Mr. Sager and Miss Hall, Home Economics Club, Miss Humphrey, journalism Club, Miss Scheid, Latin Club, Mrs. Collins, Music Club, Mr. jones and Miss Riggs, Nature Study Club, Miss Tozzer and Mr. Bowland, Radio Club, Mr. Richardson, Science Club, Mr. Cotner, Bachelor of Science Club, Vlr.

Instead of the formal promenade the class of '24 decided on a dinner dance. The gymnasium was transformed by an artificial roof woven of black and white paper, and ilowers of all the pastel shades adorned the walls. The tables were set in cabaret style about three sides of the room, while a stage filled the other side. At 6 130 a three-course dinner was served followed by a program including a welcome address by Dan Calihan, President of the Junior Class: response by Robert Rucklos, President of the Senior Classg Glow-worms, a dance by a group of girls: toasts, by members of the faculty and each Class, and a Class Prophecy. The program was concluded by a play given by the juniors, after which dancing was enjoyed. 7 he Penny Fam' Fhe annual penny fair was held January 11 in the high school building lhere were side shovss of all kinds such as the kiss in the dark the fish pond the magician '1 0 ' ilte radio concert, games of skill, the light that failed, and memories, a boxing match, a startling is show in which studious boys became giggling chorus girls, as well as wonderful food, including E Q b . - I 4 A , candy, sandwiches, pancakes, pie and coffee Many children of the grades of all wards attended besides the high school students and faculty Everyone agreed that it was a thorough success, both financially and socially Ax MIL AL Page Szxtg eight Wwrllllkilg l -lim' 5 nun I 4 VIUWWD 3 A M 'UVM f ii Q 7 1 f erik Q B' ' ii 'M'-1 I 'ww ' f Y XF I ' an vi A g Page Sixty-nine . ! , f JW g 'FA I 0 f AMN. .4 0 Q!
