He came here highly recom- mended and proved to be just as good as report- ed. He put out some of the best teams that we have had for several years. A lot of credit is due him for his line work, MR. KATTERHEINRICH-Faculty Manager This was Mr. Katterheinrich's second year as faculty manager. His job has been one of the hardest, making the athletics pay for themselves. He is to be complimented for his ability to keep the association on top. MR. KLENDWORTH-A ssisfanf Coarb Mr. Klendworth was Mr. Livingston's right hand man. He has proved his worth time after time with his good work. This year he had charge of baseball and track. Mr. Klendworth is also director of Physical Education. Miss SMITH-Girls' Coach Miss Smith had charge of the girls' inter-class teams. To her alone goes the credit of many of the athletic events for girls. She has endeared herself to the hearts of all the student body for her ceaseless work. FRED LOCKARD This was Fred's Erst year on the cheering squad and proved to be a mighty good one. He could always be depended on to keep the spirits run- ning high on the sidelines. He has one year left to cheer for Van Wert High School. BARBARA HARRIS Bob has been on the cheering squad three years and she has still one more to go. She has been a big asset in keeping things moving on the side- lines. We are sure that she will keep up the great work next year. DON WALTERS-Cheer Leader This was Don's first year at Van Wert High School but his good work earned him the posi- tion of head cheerleader. Don held the same job at Ohio City last year. He was always there to keep the fans in a lively mood. JENNINGS WEAVER-Sfzzdenf Manager It was Jennings' duty to see that all the athletes were taken care of. He also took care of equip- ment and every other little detail. Jennings was always on hand to do all that he could. Page Twenty-two Bnfium Rnu: English, Myers, Sheeran, Miller, Gribler, Conn. Rose, Hughes. Hammond, Akom.

LETTEIQ MEN RICHARD HAMMOND Red started out making letters in his Freshman year keeping step with his brother, Peanut . 'Rcd played in diiferent positions but whenever he played he was on the job. Red', has three more years so you ought tu hear a lot about him in the future. JOHN EVANS john was always full of fight and could always be de- pended on to do his share. I-leinie won his first letter this year but will be back next year so keep your eyes on him. -IAMES FORD jim was only a Freshman but showed his stuff like a veteran. Everybody will remember the Kenton game when he ran S0 yards for a touchdown after catching a pass, tying the score and making possible .1 Cougar vic- tory. Jim,' has three more years to play. DON COLE Don called the signals for the Scarlet and Gray and proved to be a good signal barker. Don's true, accurate passes were one reason why passes were good ground gainers for the Cougars. Don will be back next year. DICK GEcowE'rs Dick held down the center position this season and was hard to beat. His passes were snappy and accurate and always had lots of pep to keep the rest of the Cougars fighting. Dick also leaves us this year. GENE SCHMIDT SChmittyl' has played on the team four years and won three letters, only missing his Sophomore year when he was out most of the time with sickness. Gene was a power on the line and will be missed greatly next year. xx Page Twenty-four UUTBALI. LETTER N ROBERT CASSIDY This was Bob's third year and again proved he was a valuable man. Bob was always in every play and fight- ing every minute of the game. Bob has one more year left to play guard for the Cougars. GENE HAMMOND Our big heavy weight, Gene Hammond. has played his last football game as guard for the Cougars after win' ning his letter four years. Peanut could be de- pended upon to take anyone out when the play went his way. The team will miss him next year. WOODROWI' BURLEY Wood was also a Freshman but was one of the best on the line. Woodrow's 175 pounds meant a lot and he knew how to use it. lt was very seldom that Wood was not in a play and will be back for three years. SYDNEY SMITH Sid', played for the Erst time for the Cougars, coming here from Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. Sid held down an end position and was a hard man to get out of the way. TOM ALBERTS Tom Alberts was captain of the 1930 Cougar football team. The added responsibility did not hinder Tom's playing and he was one of the chief ground gainers for the Cougars as well as playing a bang-up defensive game. Tommy was picked by the Van Wert Times Award Committee to receive the Times' Outstanding Player award. We shall miss Tommy next year as he grad- uates. ALBERT STICKNEY Red could always be depended on to carry the Scar- let and Gray to victory. When it came to plunging and playing a straight brand of football Stick had few equals. This was Albert's last year as he graduates this year. HARLAN RADIKER Harlan played both on the line and in the backfield but wherever he was the other team knew it. Harlan was full of Eght.

IBAIIYETBALL LETTEID GEORGE PORTER FELGER George played on the varsity for the first time this year but held his job like a veteran. He has one more year and is one of the boys counted on by Coach Livingston to shine on next year's team. We're bound to hear of him. DONALD CLIFTON This was Don's EIS! year for a letter although he had some experience last year. Dutch was a hard driving player and has one more year left to serve the Cougars. Were hoping to hear a lot about this boy next year. HAROLD KOUTS Mopey played his last year for the Cougars this season. He was always in the thick of the fights and a mighty good asset to the team. Kouts could always be depended upon to do his share of the work. We will miss Mopey next year. ALBERT STICKNEY This was Red's last year. For three years Stick has fought for the Scarlet and Gray and his shoes will be hard to fill next year. He has been one of the mainstays of the team for three years and anyone that has played against him knows he can score. MX'RON NIOXVRY Mike will also be among the missing next season. He has served the Cougars two seasons and has done it well. The tip-OH: usually be- longed to Mike and he also knew Where the basket was. Mr. Livingston will have a hard time filling his shoes. DONALD COLE Don won his second letter in basketball. He took anybody's place when the regulars were unable to play. He was always in the thick of the fight and liked the game better if rough.

It was Mr. I.ivingston's First year here but he soon showed he was a basketball coach. Six letter men turned out for the first practice along with Il host of other good material. Kouts, Stiekney, Mowery, Shock, Cole, and Lehman were the boys that had earned their V . Competition was so keen that only three letter men received regular berths, namely, Kouts. Stiekney, and Mowery. Clifton .ind Felger received first string positions. In 25 games played the Cougars won 20. For the first time in the history of the school, Van W'ert was represented at the district tournament. They were runners-up to Lima Central in this section. In the Findlay tournament they won their first game, defeating Whuseon. Toledo XVaite put Van Wert out of the tournament in the semi-finals. In the sectional tourney Van XVert won from Ada :ind Celina before losing to Lima Central in the Enals. Another of the Cougars' achievements was to win the Mid-Wfestern League basketball championship. They won nine out of ten games in league competition. Next year's team will have ive letter men back, Felger, Clifton, Cole. Shock. and Lehman. Big things are expected of these boys. Opp. VNV. Opp. V.W. Alumni ..,,,,,,,, .. ...... - ...... ....

At a Faculty Banquet, the club solicited the help of the faculty in the movement- To create, main- tain, and extend throughout the school and community, high standards of Christian character , which is the Hi-Y purpose. Wishing to pay honor to the successful and victorious basketball team, a banquet was given for them. Coach Floyd Stahl, of Ohio State University, gave an address that will long be remembered by all who attended. In April an assembly was sponsored by the Hi-Y in which their platform was put before the student body so that they might have a better understanding as to the principles and ideals of the club. On May 8, an overnight hike was taken and an impressive ceremony was performed in which all new members were formally taken into the Hi-Y club by a midnight induction service.

UNIU I- C UI3 We, the members of the Junior Hi-Y club, have tried to live up to the requirements of the four C's: Clean living, Clean speech, Clean scholarship, Clean athletics. Our purpose is To transact such business that may come before us, to fortify our high purpose with conference and Bible study, to strengthen the ties of friendship that binds us together, to make ourselves of greater service to our fellow man and to main- tain a Christian atmosphere throughout the school. Every meeting in 1930 and 1931 has been both pleasant and instructive. Our meetings have been so divided as to eEect three purposes. First, entertainment, which included many banquets, after which there were discussions on many of the problems of the day. Second, business, the purpose of all organizations, conducted by the faculty advisor, Mr. Gallipoo and Chester Greenewald. Third, religious meetings under the leadership of Dr. E. E. Snyder where a sincere attempt has ever been made to present to the boys religious and educational subjects designed to develop a clean Christian scholarship-the outstanding purpose of the organization.

EXCALI I3 IQ STAFF Since it is the custom that the Senior Class edit a year book, the class of 'll has completed the thirteenth volume of the Excalibur. Soon after school began a staff was chosen to publish the annual. The staff worked very hard during the entire year collecting material and trying in every way to make the Excalibur the biggest and best ever. Much credit is due Mr. Gallapoo, faculty adviser, for his efforts toward making this hook a success.

CLUB The seven hundred and seventy-eight proposition was expounded last year by Mr. Moyer. The theory is: If a circle of Van Wert High School students is organized into a club, it will be benehcial to the school, encourage students interested in mathematics and it is possible that it might even produce a Euclid or an Einstein. For this year the hypothesis was: Miss Huggins as chief adviser, nine of last year's members and the following new officers: President, Margaret Willimang Vice-President, Treva Stuckg Secretary, Robert Cassidy, Treasurer, Francis Matthews. The S. R. A. M. QSlide Rule and Mathematicsj was chosen because the slide rule was one of the first subjects studied and still has such an important part in the activities of the club. Proof One: Since the purpose of this organization is to give would-be mathematicians an opportunity to develop their talents in work not taken up in the class room, we have, in our regular meetings, worked together on mathematical problems and puzzles, studied the slide rule and spent some time on the history of mathematics. Special sessions have consisted of: a speech by Mr. Karr on The Mathematics of a Financial Organizationng one by our Math. instructor, Mr. Nusbaum and various as- tronomical programs. We have planned to have an evening meeting in which we expect to take some asterismal photographs and at another time to go to the Observatory at Delphos. TREVA STUCK, '31.

At this time four fundamental virtues were accepted by the society as a foundation upon which to build and achieve: Character, Scholarship, Leadership and Service. Due to the fact that the chapter was organized so late in the year, no definite program was decided upon. The Seniors felt their inadequacy in accomplishing anything of espe- cially great importance by having only five active members. However, the chapter decided that they should like to sponsor an assembly program. And so, in January, the Hrst assembly of the school year was presented by the National Honor Society with the kind assistance of some of the students and teachers. The pro- gram consisted of several selections by the toy symphony orchestra, a talk by Ruth Costin on The History of the National Honor Society , a vocal solo by Miss Evans and a talk by Margaret Sinn on How the Members are Chosen. In March a very impressive induction service was held in which the following students were chosen as new members of the society: Juniors: Lowell Hattery, George Porter Felger, Robert Cassidy, Helen Louise Pearson, Evelyn Marker, Margaret Trippy. Seniors: Gaylord Wells, Myron Mowery, Virginia Russell, Margaret Williman, Treva Stuck, Cleo Jones, Dorothy Mallory, and Joy Mercer. MARGARET SINN, '31. ax 48 Q page Thirru-nine Front Razr: Runnion.

This year the club went over with a bang because it was behind all activities that the High School undertook. The organization sponsored several Mixers during the school year. The first one was held after the Alumni basketball game and it proved that we could put a good thing over in splendid shape. The V club sold Scarlet and Gray penriants during the football season. boosted football ticket sales, and was a life saver for the basketball squad, having bought handy bags for their uniforms and several dozen towels. At the end of the football season six new members were qualified to enter the V club having earned their letter at football. The following were added to thc roll: Sidney Smith, Woodrow' Burley, Red Hammond, Harlan Radiker, jim Ford. john Evans. At the end of the Hrst semester election of otlicers was held. Tom Alberts was chosen to guide our club. Others elected were: Vice-President, Harold Kouts: Secretary, George Felger: Treasurer, Freeman Stittsworth. As advisor, Coach Klendworth was right there helping us with all our problems. The club showed what talent they had when they put on an assembly program. Sid Smith played several popular numbers that made a hit with the audience. The Mid-Wfestern League Basketball trophy was ofhcially presented to the high school by Coach Livingston. Tom Alberts tooted his Sousie and Myron Mowery gave a reading. A talk on What the V Club Stands For was given by Albert Stickney. The V'ers were a great band of sportsmen who always strove to raise the standards of athletes morally, scholastically, and physically. On behalf of the Senior members we wish you the utmost success in every- thing you undertake in the future. xx Q1 - :muh Bottom Rau-: Marsh. Balyeat. Fergus. Stettler. Henderson. Monroe. Blake. Sinn.

The number of players has steadily increased since it was organized now having fifty members. A great deal of credit for the continuous improvement and success of the band should be given to our bandmaster, Mr. Wolf, who has worked so hard to make our band the success it is, this year. Top Row: Mc-Conally, Marker. During the past year it has furnished the music for all of our athletic activities, especially football and basektball. The addition of the band to these gatherings increased our chances of winning the games this season. The band also played at the Democratic and Republican rallies. At our pep sessions it helped to cheer our football fans and the team itself. During the month of March, the band presented their annual concert, which is to be held every year from now on. At the Eisteddfod held at St, Marys, April 7, the band played Light Cavalry Overture by F. Von Suppe. One of the outstanding activities in which the band participated was the Band Festival held in Spring- field, Ohio, May Sth and 9th. Twelve or fifteen bands took part. The distinguished bandmaster, Franko Goldman, was guest conductor. Mr, Goldman is a composer of many marches and songs and a pioneer in presentation of symphony music and by all-wind band. It was a privilege for our students to perform under his baton. W v Left fu Right: May. Harvey. Wolfe fDll'ECt0l'l. Dunifon. Owens. Russell. Cole. Urtan. Barnes. Knmlel, Stuck. Fox. German. Horn.

DIQCHESTIQA The Van Wert High School orchestra is composed of twenty high school students interested in enriching their knowledge of ensemble playing. This year a flute, two violins and a bass viol, have been added to the instruments. The tonal balance and performance on the respective instruments. have improved to a considerable degree from the preceding year, due to the etiicient direction of Professor Wolf, whose efforts to bring better music to our school students have shown admirable results. A musical education refines a student's taste and enables him to get more from the music he hears. lt is the endeavor of our instrumental music department to produce music-minded students. A program was presented by the orchestra at a Rotary Luncheon, in December. The music for the Class Plays, Commencement and to other various functions held by the school was also furnished by the orchestra. A program was presented on April 15, 1931, by members of the orchestra. The orchestra took part in an Eisteddfod at St. Marys, April 17, 1931, in competition with Kenton, Celina and St. Marys. The following is the instrumental program: Orchestra, Attilla Overture , by Gondor Karolyg Brass Quartette, Quartette from Rigoletton, by Verdi, Willard Perrin, Eugene Williams, Francis Matthews, Godla Kannyg Saxophone Quartette, A Night in June , by K. L. King, Flute and Clarinet Duet, by Smith and Holmes, Silver Threads Among the Gold , Phillis German and Paul Rhoades: Cornet Solo, Polka Hyancinthe by H. A.

CHD This year we have a small chorus totaling in all 116 members, 24 Freshman boys, 26 Freshman girls, 15 Sophomore boys, 20 Sophomore girls, 10 junior boys, 13 junior girls, 4 Seniors boys, and 3 Senior girls. It is diflicult to work with such a small group. However, even with such ci small number. the chorus has accomplished a great deal this year. Mary Katherine Myers is the pianist. The classes meet twice a week. At the Christmas Assembly December 19, 1930, the Boys' Glee Club and the Girls' Glee Club sang carols before the one-act play 'The Christmas Guest by Constance D'arcy Mackay and before the play How the Great Guest Came by Lionel Adams. During the year the chorus has taken part at various times in school activities and their work is to be commended. The chorus is also busy preparing for the Eisteddfod in St. Marys, April 17, 1931, in competition with Kenton, Celina, and St. Marys. The following are our entries: Mixed chorus of sixty voices-Dream Skip by Lillian Strickland. Boys' Cliorus-Prayer of Conxcrraiio-vs by Protheroe. Mixed QU3YfCfIC1WlJFlI Ibn' Corn ix lvillillg by C.

Humperdinlt, who adapted it from the Grand Opera Hamel and Grelal. The story is based on an old German fairy tale. It is the tale of an old broom vender's children, Hansel and Gretal, who are lost in the woods where they have been sent by their mother to hunt strawberries. They meet the cookie witch who turns the children into cookies. Her cookie house entices them, but they are too clever for the witch, and burn her in her own oven. The leading part, that of Gretal, was played by our High School actress, Louise Perry. Hansel, played by Vada Mohler, was verv amusing. The other characters were: Father, Virginia Bell: the mother, Alice Stuckey: the cookie witch, Barbara Harris. The supporting cast of thirty members of the Chorus, included cookie witches, cookie children, sand men and angels. Mary Kathryn Myers was the accompanist. Miss Smith and Miss Xvest directed the dances and Fifth Rmr: fiL'l'l1l2lIl. lion-lit-i's. Top Hour' Ptlum. Fry. speaking parts respectively. Every pupil in our school has an opportunity to further their musical progress along the desired lines. Schools are recognizing more and more the value of sending out into the world students who are equipped to meet the cultural and social demands made on themg students who know how to use their leisure time to the best advantage. Only a few can take an active part in the performance of music, but everyone of us can be on the side- line showing an enthusiastic interest in the program. To Mr. jones, the High School wishes to give their thanks for his devotion to his work and effort to give the school a fine musical department. ix wi Fppwr I,v'ff: Mallory. Burnet, Beelitol.

UNIDIQ CLAII DLA The junior Class play, Shavings, was successfully presented April 10 and ll, in the Third W'ard auditorium. The play is based on that famous and lovable character of joseph Lincoln's novel from which in is named. The idiosyncrasies of Shavings QLowell Hatteryl, a maker of toy windmills maintains the interest throughout the three acts. ' Ruth Armstrong Qlivelyn Markerj, a Widow with a little daughter, Babbie fFlorence Gunsettj, moves to Shavings' home town to provide a home for her brother, Charles Phillips QRobert Cassidyj when his prison term for embezzlement shall be ended. As his tenant, she stirs the bachelor jed's heart. Major Grover Uohn Evansl, a former sweetheart, arrives from a nearby airport and wins Ruth. Complications occur when both Charles Phillips fRobert Cassidyj and Leander Babbitt CRobert Leh- manj, a returned war hero, ind themselves in love with the village belle, jean Hunniwell QEleanor Allen and Rheba Dougalj. The situation is made more ditlicult, as well as comical, by the animosity between the fathers, Phin Babbitt fHoyt Brownj and Captain Sam Hunniwell QHarlan Radikerl, the president of the Orham Bank, who have been traditional enemies. Another source of comedy is Gabe Bearce's Ljason Piercej nose for scandal and town gossip. He is unwittingly aided by Roscoe Holway QClaire Myersj, a brisk young salesman who lets out the secret of Phill.ip's imprisonment. Little harm is done as jed interferes and has Phillips reinstated in the town bank. As the play ends Shavings realizes and accepts the fact that his life must be that of the self-sacrificing town philosopher and children's friend. xx wi , Page Fong sewn LECTIJ IDE CDU DIE A musical comedy drama, The Violin Makers of Cremona , was acted by a distin- guished cast of singers and players. The production was staged and costumed by Sandor Dadanorts. The scene was laid in the shop and salesroom of Laddeo Ferrari, a famous violin maker of Cremona. The time was 1750 A. D. Wishing to make Cremona violins still more famous in the future, old Podsta left his gold chain to the apprentice, who would make the best violin. Inspired by this fine example, Ferrari pledged his daughter and his house to the winner of the prize. The entire story reveals great dramatic moments, intrigue, jealousy, love schemes and great sacrifice. The second part of this program was a grand concrt featuring the All-Star Male Quartet and Mary Krakowski, soprano, and Magdalen Massmann, pianist, in a program of grand opera selections. Prominent in the cast were: Mary Krakowski, sopranog Ralph Steflin, bassog Kenneth Morrow, tenorg Ralph Appleman, baritone and violinist, George Reynolds, tenorg and Magdalen Massman, pianist. The Kremlin Art Quintette was representative of the musical genius of Russia. Mu- sical Americans are familiar with such names as Gretchaninoff, Liadoff, Chaliapan and Tschaikowsky, but very seldom have the privilege of hearing such excellent Russian numbers as were rendered by this male quartette. The company personnel included Dmitry Criona and Nicholas Wfasilwsky, tenorsg Stefan Kozakerick, baritone, Ivan Mashihim, bassog Alexander Kurochkin, basso profundo. The pianist was Mercedes Koza- kervich. This quintet represented the highest achievement in male quintette singing. They distinguished themselves for their authority of interpretation, the warmth and beauty of tone that is rich in coloring, and the true sense of style with which they sang the music of the great masters. The program which they presented consisted of Russian classical musicg Russian church music, folk music, and a general repertoire which included songs in English, performed in solo, duet, and trio form, as well, as in quintette ensembles. The company of Original Americans presented a delightful program including authentic songs, legends and Indian lore. The theme of their entertainment was Indian Life . It was portrayed in picturesque Indian costumes and was of great dramatic interest. So realistic were the legends told by these players that the audience could almost visualize themselves sitting around the night fires in a tepee. To add to the intense interest of the presentation, all of the plaintive Indian songs were offered in native tongue. One of the featured members of the company was Sequah Starke, a full-blooded Cherokee Indian and a great-grandson of the inventor of the Cherokee alphabet, and former student at the University of Oklahoma. The Cathedral Trumpeters and Fern Casford was an exceptional group of versatile musicians and entertainers. The instrumentation of the Trumpeters was ideal. The soft tones of the horns were brightened by the more heroic notes of the trumpets, producing a colorful and delightful blending of tone. Fern Casford through her extraordinary person- ality reached every element of the audience. She combined humor with pathos and comedy with drama. Her lighter selections were charming and amusing and she enthralled the audience with gripping dramatic selections. To add to the effectiveness of this pro- gram, she had a complete and appropriate wardrobe. 5'Q 910 tl 9 , l 91753, lic' ,515 ggi. mf F 2 73? xx WH W v u WW W o W ff!!

Soon the teachers, the classes, the assemblies, and the clubs will know our presence no moreg the parties, the happy comradeship, the jokes, laughter and songs ringing along the corridors will be but pleasant memories to the class of ,31. To recount our deeds would require volumesg to extol our greatness and virtues would necessitate adjectives only in the superlativeg so we will call your attention to only a few of the accomplishments of this mighty class. The roster of the class officers: Freshman Year: President, Eugene Schmidt, Vice- President, Kenneth Coombs, Secretary, Mary K. Myers, Treasurer, John Jones. Sophomore and Junior Years: President, Kenneth Coombs, Vice-President, Earl Smithg Secretary-Treasurer, John Jones.

Myers, Louise Pennell, Delores Pflum, Mildred Richards, Margaret Sinn, Berneice Stetler, Treva Stuck, Ellen Uncapher, Margaret Williman, Richard Allen, Kenneth Coombs, Robert Gephart, Eugene Schmidt, Earl Smith, Gaylord Wells, have had their names on semester honor rolls at times during the four years and leave their records as enviable goals for future contestants. In the realm of dramatics and the art of terpsichore we find: Drama, Thomas Alberts, Rosalie Barnes, Cyril Bechtol, Kenneth Coombs, Richard Goff, Eugene Hammond, Harold Harvey, Joy Mercer, Mildred Richards, Eugene Schmidt, Margaret Sinn, Gaylord Wells, Isabel Wright. Specialties: Ruth Costin, Martha Clark, Cleo Jones, Ruth Mathews, Ruth Moore, Louise Pennell, Delores Pflum, who appeared in various plays and specialty num- bers throughout the four-year course. xx ,1Zf .Q 9-is - cuz, , 5 fb xr.:-Aa e --L - - . b ,--we rr- ,. -I W . . , V A ' Our noble athletic heroes are: Tom Alberts, Kenneth Coombs, Richard Gecowets, Eugene Hammond, Charles Keyser, Harold Kouts, Donald Miller, Myron Mowrey, Eugene Schmidt, Earl Smith, Sidney Smith, Albert Stickney, Freeman Stittsworth. Time can never erase from memory the glorious achievements of these men who battled so valiantly for the honor and tradition of V. W. H. S. on the gridiron, hardwood floor, diamond, and field. Long will be remembered that glorious evening, when beneath a canopy of roses in the softglow of ruddy moonlight, we presented one of Van Wert High School's most beautiful proms to the class of 1930. When Logan, the Indian chief, was ordered west he ascended a hill at sunset and gazed upon the lovely valley that had been his home for many years. He said, No more shall our canoes speed over the placid lake or the teepees stand on the banks of the streams. For the Indian it is the long trail to the west but I leave my happiest years behind. For the Class of ,Sl it is the beginning of the long trail of life. We hope our paths may cross again but oh! So many wander away to be lost in the wilderness of years. Dear old Van Wert High School we bid you a last farewell and turn our faces to the open road.

W. H. S., again make camp. Bravely, with hearts light and free, and plenty of supplies we started on Monday morning, September 9, 1931, toward that horizon which we know holds the gold mine of advanced learning and greater opportuni- ties. Our pathfinders were Bob Lehman, john Evans, and Margaret Trippy, who did their work bravely and discreetly. At times the wolves of destiny made it hard for us to advance but in all fought des- perately with some making names for them- selves on the semester honor-roll as follows: Eleanor Allen, Isabelle Brittsan, Alice Cham- bers, Mildred Leviness, Florence Black, Lelia Harvey, Evelyn Marker, Helen L. Pierson, Aileen Terry, Louise Reidenbouch, Margaret Trippy, Jean Whittington, Hoyt Brown, Robert Cassidy, George P. Felger, Lowell Hattery, William Marbough, Edna Wills. - Q V, , Janet Bonnewitz fi , ' , I 221, , , .. Isabelle lirittson 1 4 ' 5 , ii Hoyt Brown 1 , 4 Q , 9 W W v Q Robert Cassidy ., f -1.

We are justly proud of the follownig mem- bers on the football and basketball teams be- cause of their fine playing and sportsmanship: Don Cole, Bob Cassidy, Bob Lehman, George Felger, Harlan Radiker, John Evans, Dale Greenwald, Don Clifton, Francis Shock. We cheered these boys along with the help of Don Walters, Barbara Harris, and Fred Lockard. The Junior girls who took an ac- tive part in basketball and in the G. A. A. deserve applause for their efforts expended. So now gazing into the cheery embers of our camp-fire we recall with pleasure all these experiences, knowing we have but one more trail to cover We feel certain that we shall achieve that end to which we have aspired- a greater place in this world with our colors, Lavender and Gray, flying triumphantly. -EDNA WILLS, '32. l T '4 - 2 , 1 r - , ,f f' L A L fi'-1. k: I.

Another new planet?', exclaimed the leaders of the scientific world last winter. XY'h.it Ho! Another new planet? echoed the wizards of the scholastic Van XVert High last Septem- ber. For when our class came to light this year, like Pluto it was something new: dim .ind hardly discern- ible at lirst, it gradually came out from behind the clouds. Our planet has been given the name of Sophomore, and as Pluto gets most of the attention in the scien- tific world, so now is the interest of our high school becoming centered about us. Last year we seemed to be bewildered and unable to comprehend what the other planets expected of us, but since our bunch is composed of such capable folks, we soon began to advance. And what advancement we have made! Already other classes are becoming en- vious! This year we Sophoniores are more sure of ourselves, and instead of waiting for examples, we step out and set them for our under planets and perhaps the upper ones, too. XY'ho knows? Near the end of the First semester we decided we needed someone to lead us so we selected as executive, Clifford Achatzz assistant, jack Hughes: and chose as caretaker of their treasury and their books, Marian Cassidy.

The boys team also attracted much attention. It was made up of E, Draving, G. Deal, L. Cook, Cv. Comer, E. Sink, M. jones, I.. Xvebb, G. Miller. ln Y-Hi and jr. Hi-Y we are also represented, the president of the latter being our own Elmer Draving.

XY'hen the boys inter-class teams began playing, these boys took part: H. Bernard, P. Alban. R. Hammond, E. Vfitherow, C. Stittsworth, G. Dasher, j. Lockard, C. Shick, R. Sink, D. Ackom, Custer, T. Edwards, R. Bebout, D. Speery, and XV. Burley. This group of boys played for their class very well and we hope they will continue to do so for us. On the Freshman girls' squad were: K. john- son, F. Fergus, N. Kouts, T. Klein, Downs, E. Fei- gert, L. Sheeran, A. Smith, F. Stickney, C. Pflum, H. English, P. Dickinson, and E. Clifton. They were also a good team, playing a clean, correct game. Both of our teams lacked experience for this was their first year, but we expect to have two fast teams in the future. A large group of our girls are taking active part in the Y-Hi activities and they are enjoying the club very much. Some of our boys are members of the junior Hi-Y, and they are very active and interested in the meeting of that organization. xx - Xl Page Seventy-seven Page Seventy-eight Carlton 0'Brian lVayne llverman Agnes Pennell Carlesta Pllum Louise Pollock James Pond Adrian Pugh Charles Purmort Ellis Reiehard Elizabeth Reieharcl Fern Rice Jeanette Riley Virginia Roberts Delbert Roesner Katherine Rounds James Saam Frvin Sehaaclt Charles Shick Dale St-limuek XVilhur Seott Lawrence Shaw Waldron Sherman Lillian Sheeran Robert Sink Velma Sites Alta Smith Leona Smith Marcella Smith Ruth Smith George Spade Dean Sperry Francis Stiekney Chester Stittsworth Alfreil Stokes Marfgaret Stuck Emma Taylor LaVern Terry Miles 'Thatcher Fsther Thompson Emma Thompson Cleo Tinflall Gordon Todd June Trnax Frank Uneapher Venelrla Urton Jane Waterson Frederick XVeleh Sue Weleh llelen Welker Russell XVermer Ralph Whitney Grace White Cecil VVilliams Elizabeth Williams Ruth NVilson Mary XvlIl0VSl' Charles Wise Harry XVise Edwin Witherow Alice Wyandt .lolin Young Nlanriee Young Don Stetler Soon the first semester came to a close. We easily survived the annual semester tests and on January 2 our report cards were issued. As an effect of these cards the following people were found on the semes- ter honor roll: Mary Baer, Theda Birch, Eileen Clif- ton, jerry Collette, Alice Cotterman, Polly Anna Dickinson, Margaret Corathers, Princess Dippery, Jeanne Downs, lrcta Elder, Harriet English, Betty Fergus, Dorothy Fry, Marjorie Geppert, Frances I-lorn, Norma Kouts, Norma McCollum, Faith Miller, Carol Nihiser, Agnes Pennell, Louise Pollock, Esther Thom- as, Sue Welcli, Paul Alban, Lavon Baxter, Maurice Gribler, Ralph Halliwell, Robert Louth, Daniel Lown, Russel XVermer, Charles Purmort, Dean Speery, john Young. This many pupils on the honor roll is an ex- cellent per cent of our number. Many happy and pleasant days Hlled the rest of the year and we hope to leave our Freshman year with our candle still shining brightly. This candle has burned one-fourth of its length. It will burn very dimly while we take a vacation so that we will have the strength and vigor to fan it again into another flame, which we hope will shine even more brightly than it has this year. -AGNES PENNEL1., '34.
