PURPLE AND GOLD-WAITE HIGH SCHOOL-NINETEEN NINETEEN WE offer this little tribute to our new principal in manifestation of the love of the student body for him. The faculty, too, claims a place in this love and Well it might. As there is such a feeling existing, it is eminently most fitting and proper that Mr. Pollock should be our principal. We are glad to know and feel that our every undertaking is met with his hearty approval and kindly interestg that the smile which brightened room 178 for so long, is now spreading warmth and glad- ness throughout the entire school. Who questions the fact but that under his able leadership the name of Waite High will be revered and respected as the first school of Toledo-what better man is to be found than he who is able to bring together a family and people, the faculty and pupils in a school, and make it just seem like one large happy family? That is what Mr. Pollock is doing and that is why we are so glad, and proud of him. We all agree that much can be accomplished in a school Where a fine school spirit prevails. What hopes, then, are ours for next year! For there is no school spirit without the support of a prin- cipal and what a support We have to rely upon. This is the sort of man that we' all love so well, and there is no one like him-ever smil- ing, ever willing and ever doing. l C 10Tlf PURPLE AND GOLD-WAITE HIGH SCHOOL-NINETEEN NINETEEN unnluunnnnnulllnanlnunluluunnllnlnlnunnununnlnnnnnnlulunnIuInInlununnunlnlnnuunnnnnunnnnnunnlnnnm MR. JAS. A. POLLOCK, PRINCIPAL 4 11 J PURPLE AND GOLD-WAITE HIGH SCHOOL-NINETEEN NINETEEN P l CHARLES W. Gayman, graduate of Ohio State University, was made principal of the Morrison R. Waite High School in 1914. It was not an easy task to be placed at the head of a new and unorganized High School, but Mr. Gayman was equal to the task, and through his untiring efforts he has made the school what it is today, and that is a school of which We are all proud. To the surprise of both the students and faculty, Mr. Gayman announced his resignation from the school staff, in order to become an instructor at the Toledo Computing Scale Co., by April 1. And We, the students of Waite High School, Wish to express our appre- ciation of all that he has done for the rise of our school, and also to wish him a prosperous and successful future.

C297 l PURPLE AND GOLD-WAITE HIGH SCHOOL-NINETEEN NINETEEN Cnr Janitor W E are all proud of Waite High School and Well may We be proud. The magnificent building, located in the midst of its beautiful grounds and facing the natural amphitheatre containing our athletic field, is one of the beauty spots of Toledo. Nor does it possess beauty alone. The heating, Ventilating and lighting arrangements Were made according to the most modern methods. The gymnasium and audi- torium offer opportunities for skill and talent. The library with its many books and its studious atmosphere, the quiet study rooms, the Well equipped laboratories and shops, the pleasant class rooms, pre- sided over by our esteemed principal and his corp-s of excellent teachers, all tend to place our facilities for education in the first rank. However We could not admire this beauty, We could not appre- ciate these pleasing surroundings, We could not enjoy these privileges but for one man. That is the man who sees that the beautiful grounds are cared for, that the building is kept clean and bright, that our paper baskets are not overflowing, that We are warm in Winter and cool in summer, that repairs are made, and that We do not have to go With- out our books all day if by chance we forget our locker keys. In short the Welfare of our school rests to a large extent in the competent hands of our janitor, Mr. Keller.

A Woodland Spot, a green secluded nook, Light feathery birch leaves trembling in the breeze Gay songs of birds, the rippling silver brook, Each lent enchantment to the woodland ease. The gentle breezes wafted fragrance rare, Which, from the dewy rose, they first had caught, Then mingled had, with scent of lilies fair, A Fairyland by Nature's art was wrought, A wondrous bower with shining sunbeams warmed N o place more fair, could fairy hands devise, And, in the center, as of crystal formed, Calm, bright, and deep, a bahn for weary eyes, There shone a lakeka diamond in the dell- A shimmering, sparkling, placid, tranquil pool, More beautiful than tongue or pen can tell,- For dreaming hours, a refuge fair and cool. 'Twas on a warm and sunny day in Spring I sat beside the clear and sparkling stream, Reveling in the birds' gay caroling. Ten thousand shadows made the water seem A mirror pure, which Nature claimed her own, And vainly looked, upon her beauty bent. On it's calm surface, twigs and leaflets shone, While shy wild roses e'en the trees outwent To cast their radiance on the glistening sheen. I gazed on those dark myriad shadows cast, With thoughts sped far from that still woodland scene Gay fancy painting airy visions of the past. C723 I PURPLE AND GOLD-WAITE HIGH SCHOOL-NINETEEN NINETEEN ,When lo! the shadows mirrored on the lake Before me vanished quite, and in their stead A changing panorama, which did take My wavering fancy where it gently led Far back into the realm of bygone years. Still clearer grew the image as it drew A wondrous childhood land, which time endears, Where gay birds sang and fairer flowers grew Than since have grown, where Nature lavishly Enriched each mind umnixed with life's alloy, With dext'rous touch, set elves and angels free To charm the heart of every girl and boy. Safeguarded, they, with true simplicity, Thought all things pure because their hearts were pure, Nor cared nor knew of life's complexity. No fruitless quests for gain could them allure, All God's Great-Out-of-Doors was their abode. No artiiice, no rush, nor turmoil theirs, Nor knew they of the winding of life's road. Unstained by guile, their lives were free from cares. The picture faded, but e'er quite decayed The rippling waves-lest fancy be short-lived- With haste, a different vision had portrayed And showed the Labyrinth Great Nature hath devised, Where everyone, entangled in its meshes close, Must blindly and persistently pursue His unknown way until the calm light glows Which clears away the mists he struggles thru, And shows him his true self-there stands, unveiled, His own aspiring soul-Ideals and Thought, Before ensnared, while the black mire prevailed, Ambitions-longings-struggles for untaught, And unexplored high planes with radiant hue, All clearer, more distinct, take form and give To the Lone Traveler discernment clear and true Of his own self, with whom he needs must live. And to him Knowledge comes, at last, long-sought, A stainless armour for the Jousts of Life, A weapon true, which lab'rous years have brought, A shield in Life's Great Tournament of Strife. C739 PURPLE AND GOLD-WAITE HIGH SCHOOL-NINETEEN NINETEEN Then once again the mirrored forms did change, Reflecting sharp the war, which lavishly Did scourge the earth Within it's monstrous range And rob our life of joy and harmony 3 Did make the world a clamoring, shrieking mass Of savagery, which bestial joy did find To wound, to kill, to ruin, and efface God's handiwork-the earth, and human kind. Say not that that great carnage was in vain, That strife and hatred on the earth hold sway! Earth rising in its anguish scorns to feign Defeat, but sends its trembling fears away, Rings loud the clarion note of victory, Shines forth a glorious baptismal birth,- A radiant heaven-born Democracy. Leaving behind its doting age, the earth With new-born zest begins the glorious race, Resmnes its part in the eternal plan, Urged on by hope, humility and grace, By aim of man to serve his brother many Anon that phantom fled--and I did mark A view where youth had reached maturity- A sturdy ship-a rude but hardy bark, For perilous voyage launched on the high sea. Its path was stormy-yea, 'twas plunged and rolled Breakers did beat and almost overwhelm The vessel frail. But with tenacious hold Still stood its dauntless pilot at the helm, His struggling craft of life to guard and guide. At times, fatigued and weary with the care To keep his ship erect, black waves to ride, He grew disheartened, faint, steeped with despairg Yet ever in the darkest starless night, In blinding storm and shrieking winds, anon, A Beacon shone-a pure ambition's light. It penetrated fog and beckoned on, And on, and on. The pilot strength received To steer the craft. At last, the voyage done, He moored his bark, the Beacon still perceived And gained his prize-Ambition sought and won. A flash-the rustling leaves--the scene was gone., :scams f74l, PURPLE AND GOLD-WAITE HIGH SCHOOL-NINETEEN NINETEEN But Classmates, may the Vision splendid cast A Warm and radiant crimson Afterglow, As armed with glowing hopes and youthful zest, We shall depart to paths we do not know In the great world of men. As we pursue The Beacon Light that leads to lofty heights, To boundless realms yet unexplored and new, Where white-robed Opportunity invites, May Childhood Trust be our companion there, And Faith in God, ourselves, and all mankind. May Truth and Wisdom, gained by patient care, Be guarded close with that which years shall find And While we seek the sunlit Trail to Happiness, We know full well that virtue in ourselves doth lie. The golden key we do ourselves possess, Which oft we hope for others to supply. Thus Classmates, may we rise to lofty height, To a purer, nobler, more exalted plain, Until, at last, we reach the distant Light And win Fair Garlands-Truth and Virtue gain. -Frances C. Sivers ' - 2.

LJ WHEN first I learned that I was to write the class prophecy, my mind became blank, so blank that it was positively blank. I came home and sat down before the fire in a brownstudyg from this I passed into a green study, still later, into one of deep purple. While in this last stage a thought burst upon me with a force which few if any, can realize. I jumped up, seized my hat, rushed to the door, darted down the steps, and then walked leisurely to the home of my friend, Monsieur Feedya Fueletme. In our days of high school acquaintance, his name had been plain Oliver Combs. But since taking up Psychical Research and engaging himself in establishing communications with the spirit world, he had deemed it advisable to change his name for purely commercial reasons. He had interested me in his research work and we had often carried on experiments together, which were far from unsuccessful. We had often pondered over strange coincidences in life. Even now as I entered the room he hastily set down his light evening repast, two green peas and an empty banana skin, and jumped up to meet me, exclaimingz What a remarkable coincidence that you should come when I was eating my two green peas and not thinking of you in the least. I respected my friend's fondness for green peas and empty banana skins and tactfully to avoid interrupting his repast, I ex- claimed: C763 , 7, , . Y. PURPLE AND GOLD-WAITE HIGH SCHOOL-NINETEEN NINETEEN And a yet more singular coincidence-that your fondness for two green peas should equal my fondness for port wine. Have you some? I might drink it and tell you my errand while you are finishing your own refreshments. I then proceeded to tell him of the one hundred and seventy-five futures that had been entrusted to my care., He agreed to establish communication with the spirit world as soon as possible, in an effort to help me. My mind felt relieved at once. Even the blankness left it. My faith in the marvelous supernatural powers of my friend is unlimited. Very carefully we prepared the room for the seance just as we had done many times before, arranging the table so that it was sup- ported by the four legs only, and the pictures so that each of them was prevented from crashing to the floor by a nail and a wire only. We then placed the books in such a way that no two of them occupied the same places as any other two, and after carefully laying a wet towel over the waste basket and making sure that we had not re- moved any of the woodworkfrom the position previously designed for it by the carpenter, we felt ready to welcome the spirits. . Then I sat down, as usual, overawed by my friend's marvelous power. He hung a sheet at one end of the room. Turning out the light, he advanced to one corner where I had often observed some- thing resembling a machine which he called his cabinet. There was a buzzing sound, and suddenly a clear, white, round light was thrown upon the sheet which served as a screen. Whose future do you wish to see first ? he asked. I was so overawed at this supernatural demonstration, that I was unable to speak for some minutes. The spirits cannot be kept waiting, he cried. Thereupon with all the clearness of pictures thrown by a magic lantern, my friends began to appear before me. I was indeed startled to behold the spiritual projection of a large Buick. Across the entire lower half of the windshield was painted a huge sign, Office, Dr. Adelbert J. G. Kuehn, Physician. Peering through the upper, or unpainted half of the windshield, I beheld Dr. Kuehn administering to Verda Pelton the famous Kuehn-Kure consisting of a greenish pill one inch by three-eighth in length. Verda was taking the cure in the hope of being relieved of temporary blindness caused by the mercury arc lights in a moving picture studio, where she was a co-star with Carl Brand in a sensational problem serial, One Plus One Is One. With marvelous rapidity the apparition vanished from the screen only to be replaced by a vision as startling as the first had been. Suddenly I saw a great number of men. A spirit voice began in sepulchral tones, which so resembled those of Monsieur Feedya 6777 PURPLE AND GOLD-WAITE HIGH SCHOOL-NINETEEN NINETEEN Fueletme that I should have been convinced they were his own had I not still known him to be in the land of the living. Here, said the voice, are a few scenes from the greatest labor day parade in the history of Stony Ridge. Throngs of people came surging through the street, and I was wondering how a parade could make it's way through so dense a crowd, such as I had never seen outside of Pemberville, when the entire corps of motor cops rode recklessly by on their tricycles. The corps consisted of Ralph Deviney, whose inability to balance himself on a bicycle had led to the adoption of tricycles. Finding himself unable to manage the crowd alone, it was necessary to call out the mounted police. In a few minutes William Ellis, Edward Christopher, Harold Holmes, Floyd Lane and Carlos Warner charged madly along on rocking horses. I looked more closely and observed that the scene before me was none other than a graphic representation of the band leading the parade. Whom did I see at the head but my old friend Exarhos Bekos, the world-famous victrola player. Next to him came William Samsen, master of the mouth organ. William Writes his own com- positions and has the distinction of being the only living player able to execute the same. Following on all sides came Robert Smith, carrying the music rack. The next projection of the labor day parade portrayed the trained animals led by Raymond Schmoekel, the most successful animal trainer on the globe. Of him it is universally said, By his eloquence he has moved elephants. After the parade, the crowd began to disperse. Harold Kauff- man, the famous director for the Kaugh Kartoons, which bid fair to replace the Bray Cartoons in popularity, wrapped his machine in a blanket, placed it in a baby carriage, and carefully covered it with mullein stalks. Wernert Kiemle, reporter for the Luckey Lyre, closed his roll-top desk Which, with a Smith Premier typewriter, he always carries with him for greater convenience in taking notes. This idea of a reporter's being always supplied with a roll top desk and a type- writer, was originated by Dorothy Neitzel, reporter for the Hawaiian Gazette. It must be admitted that this arrangement is attended with nevertheless difficulty without the coperation of some such good drayage company as Mr. Kiemle has secured. The last of the parade had scarcely passed from view when the huge wagon of the Close- Distance Cartage Company drew up to carry Wernert's paraphernalia to the next stop. This was to be at the factory of Albert McAffee, the sardine magnate. This Cartage Company was founded by Lucille Close. S-he had established stations in Michigan and Kentucky and under her expert management business had increased to such an extent that at almost any season of the year a solid line of drays might have been seen passing from Kentucky to Michigan. 4787 PURPLE AND GOLD-WAITE HIGH SCHOOL-NINETEEN NINETEEN This vision having disappeared, there flashed upon the screen the projection of a huge stage. Across it rushed a man tearing his hair, rolling his eyes, and filing his nails. I recognized Edward Cary, the great director genius of the preceding generation. The Voice ex- plained as follows: For three weeks Edward has been acting just this way. He is trying to lessen the time spent in raising the curtain, and he is unable to decide whether to have a transparent curtain, or to move his shown out in front of the curtain. On Monday, it had taken two and three-quarters minutes to raise itg Tuesday, two and seven-eighths minutes, and after oiling the pulleys to a great extent, it had taken two and thirty-one thirty-seconds minutes on Wednes- day. Presently a number of girls from the Follies rushed in, clad in short skirts and picture hats. They were gesturing madly, and I was informed that they were demanding their pay, no part of which had they received for six weeks. I looked closer and saw that Gladys Davey was the leader of the Follies, and among the others I recog- nized Beatrice McNees, Olivia Frisk, Mabel Powell, Nellie Bevens, Marion Jacob, Christel Hiss, Cornelia Sinning, and Margaret Zeigler. But the best dancer, Harriet by name, was not present, due to a sprained ankle, the result of having slipped on the top of a catsup bottle while promenading on the Great White Way. Among those whom I recognized not at all, and of whom I had not the slightest idea of their identity were: Alma Knepper, Ruth Bowen, Elsa Brand- enberger, Alice Campbell, Helen Clark, Rachel Scharer and Florence Breese. Edward sank into a chair, mopping his brow as the girls, with threatening glances, trooped out. They had no sooner disap- peared than in walked a man, who, by the part in his hair, I recog- nized as Thurlow Wilder. He was tall, handsome, squarely and powerfully built, bronzed by the sun and moon fand even copper colored in spots, from the effect of the starsj. Who could forget that face in which honesty, intelligence, and exceptional brain power were combined with christianity, simplicity and modesty ? With the aid of Lorenz Fritz he held the rope for Esther Quick, Raydell Carrel, Audrey St. Clair, and Aline Park, tight rope walkers, who appeared in the last act. Edward looked at Thurlow and something in the latter's upturned face caused Edward to throw his nail file at him. Thurlow ran and as he ran, he stepped on one of the trained toads belonging to Thelma Blake, the snake charmer, from the Brug- gemier circus. Thelma had come to have afternoon tea with Haven Doane, who looked after the screw-drivers and monkeywrenches for Samuel Featherstone, stage manager. Thelma raged and Haven came nobly to her rescue. In a moment the stage hands came swarm- ing in and the stage became the center of a terrible fight. It lasted for three hours, with thirty minutes oi for lunch. It was awful. The men pulled one another's hair, kicked one another from behind, C797 PURPLE AND GOLD-WAITE HIGH SCHOOL-NINETEEN NINETEEN pulled one another's noses, and some forgot themselves so completely as to bite one another. Thurlow stoop on tiptoe brandishing a wet napkin and striking right and left, until Haven rushed at him and struck him fiercely in the face with a doughnut. At the end of three hours, by mutual consent, the fight was declared a draw, the points standing at 16M and 17. As the stage began to clear, I recognized John Cauffiel lying limply in the midst of the scenery for a Turkish Harem. Valentine Fischer was propping his head against a flowered shirt front, which Bernard Simon had lost in the scuffle. Joseph Grant was calling loudly that he would gladly give five feet of gas pipe for a piece of beef steak. Vera Heath, Thelma's maid, with the aid of Lowell Runkle, her chaffeur, helped her to her Waiting car. As the scene faded I still beheld Edward Cary desperately figuring and my heart ached for him. This very sad scene was followed by one even more pathetic. I beheld a beautiful grove carpeted with grass so green as to be posi- tively grass-green. Leafy bushes were scattered about and every- where were flowers-still in the bud. Presently someone came into the midst of the grove and spread himself out and covered himself with leaves. The birds looked down from the trees, and as they saw the beautiful sight, they fell from the boughs with a thud upon the grass. Presently the person shook himself and sat up. I looked closer and from the wild look in his eye I could tell it was no other than Ambrose Miller. Fastened round his forehead with a piece of shoe-string was a leaf. The Voice informed me that Ambrose was studying the arts of camouflage, and it's mysteries, and the great depths to which he had studied had somewhat dazed his mind, and ever since he had gone about with a leaf tied on his forehead, thinking himself a bush. Nevertheless, he had established numerous labora- tories throughout the country, the largest one, at Hicksville, being under the management of his ablest disciple, Helen Harris. The offices extend the whole length of the main street and Ralph Ladd, camouiiaged as a cherub, empties the waste-baskets and proves him- self in general a very efficient office boy. The laboratories which cover many square feet, are under the supervision of Orville Schmidt. Some of the most promising students are Donald Walter, Helen Cripe, Esther Sorter, Fern Crites and Ella Currie. Next I saw iiashed upon the screen a newspaper in a clear black and white. In the advertising section I read: Grandmother gums it. Baby cries for it. The Delicious Double-Onion Flavored Chewing Gum. Evelyn Hobe sole manufacturer, N-orma Beese, chief distributor. Farther on I read: No household complete without a box of Aunt Dupuis' Dainty C 80 J PURPLE AND GOLD-WAITE HIGH SCHOOL-NINETEEN NINETEEN IInllunnlnlnluInluunuuunlnnnunlnnnnnmnnmnnnnnnlnunlnnunlulnlnlnlnlnInlnlnlnInIuInluninInnnnnlnlnnununn Delights.

Address Irene Grasser, Number 7E, Bread Line, New York City. - f f jg In the news items I saw: Calamity in the South Sea Islands Because of the unsanitary conditions, great sickness prevails. Undertakers are overcome. Arnold Nopper, leading undertaker of all the islands, gets corpses mixed. On Thursday last, he sent to a Wealthy family a shrivelled old man instead of their beautiful daughter. Mr. Nopper has since discharged his chief embalmer, William Aderman, and the funerals are now going on as before. On another page I read. Earl Rosengarten, head of the Rosengarten Turnip Trust, sues Robert Rogers, head of the Rogers Parsnip Trust, for putting out a series of adds asserting that parsnips have a greater food value than turnips. The case is in the hands of Judge Eleanor Koch, who has laid the matter on the shelf, having received a pet canary from one of the aforesaid gentlemen, and a silk umbrella from the other. Not wishing to make any enemies in her legal practice, she is unable to decide in favor of either of the two. Suddenly I heard the wind blow and saw great creaks. The fog darted hither and thither, covering up everything. I could see nothing-except a street corner, some buildings, and a number of people standing in a circle. I leaned forward and looked again. It was no other than a Salvation Army approaching. Some of the girls, with perk Salvation Army bows under their chins, were earnestly talking to the bystanders. The Voice informed me that they were selling the famous recipe for the Salvation Army Pickles which were C315 PURPLE AND GOLD-WAITE HIGH SCHOOL-NINETEEN NINETEEN being sent to the starving Armenians. The one doing the most of the talking was Mary Sloan, but Helen Whitmore, Hilda Dushane, Dortha Fingerhooth, Mary Coy, Ruth Ross and Mildred Morgan were closelseconds. On the opposite corner Raymond Sheets in a rain coat and rubber boots, was selling shell beads which Laura Orwiler and Loretta Pratt had found while doing deep sea diving in the Y. W. C. A. pool. There seemed to be great rivalry between the two corners as to which one could make the most noise. The judges being Olga Rodemich, matron of the Old Ladies' Home, and Paul Dipman, night watchman at the Water Works. Next I saw an office. Papers were strewn all over the floor. The walls were covered with movie actors and ink spots, and in one corner hung a huge advertisement for Ilah Hahn's improved sausage-cutter. Directly opposite this, and in another corner of the room, two inches below the molding, hung the wrist watch that Park LeGron, feather- weight champion, had worn on the wrist with which he had admin- istered the upper-cut to William Heldt, champion boxer of Atchison, Topeka and Kalamazoo. There were two desks in this ofiice. One belonged to Catherine Boisselle, illustrator on The Friday Morning Companion. The other to Frances Sivers, who writes poetry for The Pacific Yearly, a magazine devoted to the care of bees. Suddenly the room became red. Everything was red-so red that there was indeed no other color there. Growing frightened, I cried out, but Monsieur calmed me and bade me watch the screen. As I looked I beheld Hames-great hungry ones. I could see that they were licking the sides of a huge building. Crowds were standing about and men were running and shouting. The fire department drew up, and hastily the men began filling buckets with water from the hose. These they handed to bystanders who threw the water at the burning building. The captain 'whom I recognized as Harold Hartley, stood on an ash can and addressed his men. Calm your- selves, gentlemen, and don't wo-rk so hard. We have plenty of time. The fire shows no signs of going out. Keep out of the water there, Trudeau, don't get yourself so wetg you won't be fit to be seen. Better let someone help you with that pail, Whipple, I fear it is too heavy for you. At times, when the flames increased in volume, the chief ordered the hose to be turned directly on the crowd, which, of course, helped materially. How strong and manly did Captain Hartley look as he stood watching Dorothy Furey lift a brimming pail and hurl it savagely through one of the windows! On his head the captain wore a fireman's hat, shaped like a meat-grinder. His fireman's coat was belted in at the sides, flaring in front and at the back, while his fireman's boots, which came half-way up to the fireman's coat, were fastened on with strings from a fireman's shoe. Captain Hartley stepped down from the ash can and held a consultation with Chief-of- C823 PURPLE AND GOLD-WAITE HIGH SCHOOL--NINETEEN NINETEEN Police Frank Schatzke, as to whether the horses of the hook and ladder automobile should be driven into water to prevent the sparks from their shoes causing further damage. As they could come to no decision, the assistant Chief of Police, Valdemar Epple, was called in, but, as he could offer no practical suggestion, third chief Lawrence Wheeler and fourth chief Myron Randebaugh were sought. But all to no avail. At length, ninth chief Guergen Paepcke suggested that cushions be put under the horses' feet. The following day Phyllis Kreiger, head of the Waitresses' Union, presented him with a medal for Sharp-Thinking. Still the fire raged. The crowd stood in water five feet deep, and hurled pails of water which the firemen filled for them. Chief Hartley resumed his post on the ash can and shouted words of encouragement in vain. One wall after another fell in, until, alas, the great edifice which had been Olive Fischer's cracker factory, was reduced to mere crumbs. In the next vision I saw a huge plate glass window. Across the front was Written the following in large pink letters: Quick Meal Restaurant At the Sign of the Empty Stomach Tables for Ladies and Gentlemen Extra chairs reserved for Men and Women Open Day and Night Myrtle Lorenz, Proprietor Nellie Hoag, Head Waitress Special Attraction: Tuesday and Thursday nights: James Webb's Cabaret featuring Doris Vye, Ruby Burgemeister and Fayne Reedy- whirlwind dervishes. K Across the street from this was a Tea Room, The Milkweed, owned by Marguerite Hahn and Merle Bolton. Coiee and wafers with humming birds tongues were advertised as specialties. Great rivalry existed between the two shops due to the fact that Ruth Heater, the leading society matron of the town, favored The Milk- weed. The traflic in this section was so dense that Earl Heilner, the traffic cop, was forced to get a sign that pointed in all directions at once. Two blocks down from Marguerite's tea room, and on the oppo- site side of the street from Myrtle's restaurant, was the factory of the great fish magnate, William Young. Canned minnows were his specialty, although pickled jelly-fish were gaining in popularity. A large part of his success was due to his excellent business manager, Cecil Murphy, his janitor Harold Emch, and also to Lucille Webb, his private stenographer. The very good quality of the fish which he got from the Dunn fisheries, owned by Mildred and Moira, likewise contributed to his business prosperity. But it must be admitted that almost no part of his success was due to William himself. 4835 PURPLE AND GOLD-WAITE HIGH SCHOOL-NINETEEN NINETEEN Suddenly the room became filled with a clear salmon colored light, and on the screen came the projection of a huge platform. A girl walked to the center of it and began to speak. At once I recog- nized Alma Lentz. I was informed that she was beginning her fam- ous debate: Resolved: That Black is White. Owing to the fact that she had no opponent, the judges, Bessie Greiner, Ruth James, Rheva Speaks and Irving Moulton were confident that she would win. At the back of the stage, machines were taking a record of her argu- ment for the Jaroszewski Talking Machine Exchange. I was so hap- py to think that Elma had at last found her calling, that I was sorry to see the scene change to that of an old-fashioned stairway. At the foot of the stairway I saw a large clock. The Voice told me that this was a most remarkable clock, invented by the great dancing mechan- ical genius, James Enderbury, known the world over as the second Edison. The clock struck at seven-thirty, at eight, half-past eight, then it half struck a quarter to nine, and then, slowly, it struck striking. There was a great demand for these clocks and they were in constant use in all state hospitals. Arnold Bunge, warden of the Toledo State Hospital, said that no other kind of clock had ever had such soothing effects upon the patients. Next I saw the projection of a vast farm. It was a very beau- tiful place with dark current bushes, snug barns, and straw stacks, a cozy mansion with the light gleaming from the windows. Indeed it had a very prosperous appearance, I learned that the farm con- sisted of forty acres of denatured toadstools, which Laurence Haw- kins, owner, cultivated and sold to the New York hotels. Through the window he could be seen sitting before the fireplace peacefully smoking his pipe and drinking an egg phosphate. Beside him sat his wife, Marvel Wenning Ruch. She had married Paul some months before but the latter, having become very wealthy from the inven- tion of a squash-seeder, became infatuated with Thelma Thompson, leading lady at Swope's Snappy Theatre. Divorce followed and Mar- vel, not able to bear up alone under the affliction, was delighted to accept Laurence's offer to share his peaceful farm with her. The Hawkins toadstools were known all over New York even as far as Brooklyn Bridge. He received the largest orders from Marie Wein- gardt's Hotel and Josephine Schuh's roof garden. Paul Ruch had received his idea for the squash-seeder while look- ing at the display of hats in Eunice Shlagheck's millinery store. It had taken him some years to have it patented, because Leslie Blom- burg, the patent lawyer, was spending all his time endeavoring to find enough usefulness in Beulah Lee's improved doorknobs to grant a patent to her. Next the screen was suffused with gray-the shade of gray that one sees in the early morning. As the screen began to clear, I per- C845 PURPLE AND GOLD-WAITE HIGH SCHOOL-NINETEEN NINETEEN ceived a milkwagon going down a street. On the side of the wagon in large milky letters was printed: Booth's Dairy Products. I looked within and beheld Frances grasping a hose in her hand. Presently the wagon stopped before a house and Frances, with unerring aim, shot the milk from the hose into a bottle which was standing on the porch. When this was accomplished, she drove to the next house where the same procedure was repeated. By her marvelous genius she had invented this unique milk-shooter, thus saving herself the necessity of ever getting out of the wagon. But this idea would have been practically useless had not Kathryn McClure always preceded her, driving a mowing machine, in which she sat holding a magnet. By means of this magnet she removed the money and tickets from the inside of the bottle. These girls had rendered another service to humanity also. Kathryn awoke everyone on the street with her mow- ing machine, thus saving Ruth Stocking the necessity of blowing a whistle to summon to work the employees of her largevshoe-button factory. But at eleven-thirty Roy Miller, the janitor of the shoe- button factory, rang a bell for the men to go to lunch, at twelve o'clock a Jews' Harp was played for the men to go on eating, and at twelve-thirty a flag was run up at half mast signalling the men to return to work. After this picture disppeared the entire room was iilled with a golden hue. As the light slowly faded away I beheld on the screen the face of Harry Basil. As soon as the whole picture became dis- tinct, I saw that he was standing with arms folded in front of a discarded voting booth. Across the door was printed: Basil's No- Fat-Butter Shop. Harry was giving orders to Florence Johnson, his general manager, as to how she should balance the scales so that for every fourteen and three-quarters ounces, the scale would register one pound. Next in a clear green and gold I saw a very large building. Sur- rounding it were spacious lawns dotted here and there with tomato plants and burdock leaves. At the back of the building was a dirty little creek, which wound it's dirty little way through broad fields of cabbage heads, among which were Edna Gale, Hazel Geisler, and Ber- nice Goldsteinffarmerettes. A sign across the front of the building read: Louise Masten's Sanitarium. Wonders wrought by the Mu- sical Cure. Perfectly Harmlessf' This musical cure was admin- istered by the great musician, Esther Geary, known all over the United States, England, Porto Rico and Halifax as the girl with the artistic touch. The Sanitarium was always filled with patients and the waiting list was so long that Irene Knull, the secretary, and her assistants, Carmen Replogle, and Florence Sass, were having great difficulties with the vast correspondence. The nurses, Bernice Holly, Iva Knaggs, Esther Weihrouch, Alice Schroeder, and Alvena Stephens C353 PURPLE AND GOLD-WAITE HIGH SCHOOL-NINETEEN NINETEEN were kept busy every minute of the day for almost seven days out of the week. Most of the patients were shell-shock victims. Edwin Benson was the Worse of these. There were also victims of other shocks. Kenneth Goodrich was in a very sad state. He had married a beautiful wife-a strawberry blond with a dough face. But she had refused to mow the lawn, or take care of the furnace, or do any of those little things which lend so to the comforts of a home. But this was not all. In the midst of fixing a leak in the water pipe, she had eloped with a scissors sharpener. Indeed poor Kenneth had never fully recovered, and in order to soothe him at all, it was necessary for Esther to play The Old Oaken Bucket for him every day at four o'clock. Another victim was Arthur Shaw, who had been ser- iously shocked when Marguerite Powell had proposed to him during Leap Year. LaVerne J aynes, Arthur's nurse, could not even persuade him to partake of his meals until Esther had played On the Beach at Waikiki. There had been many patients apparently cured, but all of them had refused to leave, asserting that if once they were from under the influence of Esther's music, they would immediately become their former selves. Of course this was very tiresome for Esther, although Kathryn Parks and Gladys Schumate took turns working the pedal for her. Louise received many offers to relieve Esther of her position, but if anyone ever mentioned to Esther that she should leave, she herself became shocked at the thought of leaving her dear patients. As this vision passed from view, I realized that I had seen the futures of all my friends. I know they will all come true. Don't you think so? You don't? Well, have it your own way. E.

As the shadowy mantle of darkness descended upon the land, a sense of loneliness seemed to seize the man, for he leaned downclose to his animal's head and spoke softly and gently into it's sensitive ear. The animal, urged along by this praise and coaxing, sped forward at a livelier gait. Then, one by one, tiny distant lights began to glow, and, as if in response to their appearance, twinkling stars came into View above. Nearer and nearer grew the lights, larger and larger grew in size their yellow glow. They spoke of comrades and fellowship, which dispelled that sense of loneliness. God above was good and man nearby was brotherly. So thought our horseman. Suddenly the glowing lights flared out as abruptly as if they had all been candles extinguished by a great gust of wind. Our rider had descended into a deep wide valley, but soon he was leaving it at the opposite side. At the top of the grade he found himself on a dusty road leading into a small mining town. He passed by several small cabins belonging to miners, from the windows of which streamed the yellow lights he had seen from afar off. Reaching more pretentious buildings, he reined up in front of one of the largest. Leaning forward in his saddle, he scrutinized a large rudely made sign which read: BLUE RIVER GULCH HOTEL C377 PURPLE AND GOLD-WAITE HIGH SCHOOL-NINETEEN NINETEEN From my position across the road, I could observe the stranger's face. I saw at once that he was not a Western man, but had undoubtedly come from the East. He was smooth-shaven and his riding apparel, though of Western style and manufacture seemed new and neat in spite of the heavy dust that lay thick up- on it. The stranger dismounted and walked toward the en- trance of the so-called hotel. By this act, I was given con- . A clusive proof that he was an Eastern man. He had not the front of one of the 1...geS.ff easy gait and swagger Of the Westerner. By the light that streamed out from the entrance of the build- ing, I could see his features. Suddenly his eyes lighted up, a broad smile spread over his face, and he seemed convulsed with inward laughter. At the time, I did not know the reason for his laughter. It was only after I had become acquainted with him when he told me the reason. The contrast between that old weather-worn, dis- colored edifice and a modern, elaborately furnished hotel had seemed so ludicrous to him. This man, who was soon to become my close friend, now entered the hotel. Walking up to a battered desk, he succeeded in dethron- ing the God Morpheus by awakening an old miner who sat there snoring, his head fallen upon the desk. The drowsy clerk was soon awake and starting up exclaimed, Howdy stranger! Just pull in ? The stranger afiirmed that such was the case, and added I am Edward Barclay from Pittsburgh. Glad to know ye, Barclay. I'm Smith, Joe Smith, of Blue River Gulch. Barclay smiled. I shall be here for several weeks, Mr. Smith, and of course must have a place to stay. I-. I Calculatin' to put up at this hotel, eh ? broke in Smith. Well, you won't find any better. Barclay was forced to admitto himself that the old man was loyal at any rate. 1 g r C885 Reaching more pretentious buildings, he reined up in PURPLE AND GOLD-WAITE HIGH SCHOOL-NINETEEN NINETEEN We ain't overcrowded, jist now, so I kin give you one of our corner rooms. It's bright and airy-like. It's fine to set up there nights and watch the landscape. Got a dandy View of the Blue River Saloon s-o's you kin see all the shootin' frays without stoppin' any of the lead yourself. At this juncture, Smith brought to view a key fastened to a large brass tag upon which was stamped the number 3. With this object dangling from one hand, he pounded up the old stairway closely followed by the Easterner. They finally reached a door numbered 3. The old man, after some noisy fumbling, succeeded in unlocking the door. Barclay peered at the room through the open doorway. Dust covered everything, and a heavy, musty odor filled the close air. I reckon she's quite a room, eh Barclay ? The prospective roomer, who seemed to be able to see only the ludicrous side of the situation, could hardly refrain from bursting into laughter, but controlling himself, he nodded slightly in answer to the question. After seriously considering the matter, he was not well pleased with the room, but optimistically decided that it was probably the best he could secure under the circumstances. He even admitted that conditions might easily have been worse. Accordingly he told the old clerk that he would take the room, whereupon the old ex-miner gave him the key and shuffled off, well satisfied with the situation. After Smith had disappeared, Barclay's first move was to intro- duce some fresh air into the room. He walked to the nearest window and, after some difficulty, succeeded in raising it. He breathed deeply of the cool, refreshing breeze that rushed inward. A pale moon gleamed down upon the wide plains, and upon the hills and mountains far away. It was a Western night, but the Easterner loved it's beauty. Crossing the room, he opened another window. Here he be- held the soul inspiring land- scape of which Smith had spoken, a scene far diferent from the first one. Across the street, below, he saw a l-ow build- ing ablaze with lights. From it came the sounds of discordant music, mingled with the occa- sional shouts or bursts of laughter from the lips of the miners. Through the open door- which Smith had Spoken. way he could see the tables sur- C397 Here he beheld the soul-inspiring landscape of PURPLE AND GOLD-WAITE HIGH SCHOOL-NINETEEN NINETEEN rounded by roughly clad men, the long counter, and the rows of shin- ing bottles. Blue River Bar was open and doing business. Barclay turned away from the window soberly. He had been deeply impressed by the contrast between the two scenes. On one hand, God's handiwork g on the other, Man's folly. The Easterner's next act was to remove, as far as possible, the dirt and dust he had acquired during his day's ride, after which he left his room and descended the stairway. As he did so, he noticed a strange figure shuffling away hurriedly, overladen with several large bundles. Before Barclay had formed any mental conception of whom he had seen, this personage had passed through the open doorway. Barclay then walked slowly toward Smith who was at his accus- tomed place at the desk. Who was the visitor? asked Barclay, smiling. We ain't had no visitors since you came, Barclay, returned the other. Perhaps not a visitor, but at least a caller. Oh, that was the Chinee carrying out the wash. The heathen's name is Wing Loo, and he does up the hotel's laundry. All the boys know him and let him wash up their duds, too. I'll remember him and let him have my patronage. Both men were silent for a moment, then the aged clerk said, Figgerin' on gettin' acquainted hereabouts, I suppose ? Barclay glanced up quickly. Such were my intentions. The nature of my business demands not only that I become acquainted with several citizens of Blue River Gulch, but also that I make such acquaintances speedily. The old clerk was now listening eagerly and attentively. There were several unanswered questions in Smith's mind regarding this new guest. To be sure his name was Edward Barclay and he had said that he was from Pittsburgh, but WHAT was he? He had spoken of the nature of his business. What was his business? Why had he come to Blue River Gulch? The mining opportunities in Blue River Gulch were not as good as they had been several years before, although of course mining was still a very important industry. Did this Easterner intend to become a miner? With these questions puzzling his mind, Smith waited anxiously for the other to continue. He was destined to disappointment, how- ever, for Barclay, who had been leaning comfortably upon the old desk, straightened up and moved toward the door. To become acquainted one must make acquaintances, he said, No doubt the general rendezvous is at Blue River Bar? The word rendezvous was somewhat of a puzzler to Smith, but his intuition was quick, however, and, within a moment, he had made a good guess as to its probable meaning. 1 C905 PURPLE AND GOLD-WAITE HIGH SCHOOL-NINETEEN NINETEEN That's one of them, he called out 3 Tony Moore runs the Bar and 'Bones' Baker runs the General Store. Tony ain't particular what you buy, so long as you buy enough of it, but 'Bones' sells only sweet cider with a three quart limit! The General Store for me, shouted back the Easterner. Smith smiled. I was standing alone near the entrance of Bones' store when the stranger from Pittsburgh approached. I had been filled with a sadness of loneliness and remorse, but these emotions seemed to dis- appear at the instant I gazed into his frank, pleasant countenance. We seemed mutually attracted, for we involuntarily drew toward each other, shook hands, and introduced ourselves. We conversed for some time upon general topics. It seemed only natural for him to ask questions concerning the town of Blue River Gulch, and, likewise, it seemed only natural for me to answer these questions. Unconsciously I named several residents of our town and told him of their traits and characteristics. I told him, among others, of Tony Moore, who owned and operated the place of business already spoken of. Tony was a short man of swarthy complexion, Whose countenance was repellant and loathesome. His black, deceitful eyes were set in a head surmounted by unkempt, greasy, dark hair. Tony's personal appearance did not seem to grate harshly upon the miner's sense of beauty, for they patronized him in great numbers. At his bar the miner's gold dust poured as freely as did his merchandise. I might have said more about this person Whose character was as unclean as his person, but I did not. Instead, I told my new ac- quaintance of another man, whose character contrasted as strongly with that of Tony, as daylight contrasts with darkness. Respected by many-disliked by some, this other man seemed truly a God-send to the little mining town. He stood for a clean mind, clean body, and clean living. This man, at the entrance of whose store we were then standing, was known all over town as 'Bones' Baker. Barclay seemed to have grown exceedingly interested in my de- scription of Bones, and manifested a desire to see him and become acquainted with him. Barclay's desires were to be realized, for, a few minutes later, I took leave of him as he was conversing with the gentleman in ques- tion. At first sight Barclay became cognizant of the fact that Bones physical stature and appearance displayed his strength of character for Bones was an exceedingly well-developed man, tall in stature and muscular in body. His features, although not altogether handsome, were manly and pleasing. You'll hear more about this man, 'Empty' Williams, Bones might have been heard to say after he and Barclay had talked to- gether for many minutes. C915 PURPLE AND GOLD-WAITE HIGH SCHOOL-NINETEEN NINETEEN Barclay listened attentively. This man Williams continued the other, isn't the kind of a fellow he appears to be. Time was when Empty's appearance seemed too clean to suit the rest of the boys, so they took him out and dragged him along the road for a time, so that he'd look more natural and manlike. Those were the days when Empty owned two of the largest and best claims in the place. There's no use telling about 'Tony' Moore and his gambling tables, but that's where Williams' gold dust went. Does he still own his mining claims ? inquired Barclay. No, was the answer. He has lost both of them. He now has a small one, but it does him no good, because, instead of working it, he idles his time away around town. The two men conversed togetherqfor some time, and it was late when Barclay retraced his steps to the hotel. He ascended to his room and stood for a long time at the open window which overlooked the prairie. A cool refreshing breeze was blowing and an old inhabi- tant would have predicted correctly, that a clear, bright and warm day might be expected for the morrow. Barclay meditated silently, reviewing in his mind the events of the past few hours. He was well satisfied that his new acquaintances were numerous, and felt that, considering the short lapse of time, his knowledge of the town and its inhabitants was not meager. The one man in whom he had become especially interested, was the man known as Empty Williams. Unlike the rough miners, who treated with extreme disfavor any feminine sentimentalism or sympathy, Barclay felt some concern about this man and hoped for the future regeneration of this once clear-minded person. He hoped that he, himself, might be enabled to do something to bring about a trans- formation in this man's life. . With these thoughts in mind, the Easterner left the window and retired. He 'closed his eyes and was soon in the land of dreams, un- conscious of the fleeting hours that finally brought the cool, gray dawn of another morning. The morning grew into a day long to be remembered by several inhabitants of Blue River Gulch. To know why this was an eventful day, you must be informed that this day marked the coming of The Angel. According to prediction, the weather proved to be bright and warm. It was, in fact, not merely warm, but exceedingly sultry. The sun shone down in full glory so that the miners, shielding their eyes with their hands and gazing out over the land, could see the shim- mering, dazzling heat waves rising from the plain. It was near the hour of noon, when one miner, who was thus gazing out over the plain, exclaimed to a companion standing nearby, Look yonder, Part- ner! See them three men a-gallopin' in y'erel C923 PURPLE AND GOLD-WAITE HIGH SCHOOL-NINETEEN NINETEEN His statement proved to be true, for slowly though surely the three horses with their riders moved toward Blue River Gulch. I could easily explain the reason for their slow approach for the suffo- cating heat and the glaring sun meant that the steeds, as Well as their owners, could be nothing less than weary and exhausted. As they entered the town, I discovered, to my surprise, that the three horsemen turned out to be one man and two women. All three were strangers to me as well as to the other inhabitants. The man, whose name as we later learned was Bob Burke, rode first. He was a large, well-built fellow, clothed in the usual garb of the Westerner. Following him was an elderly woman, Bob's mother. My eyes sought the third member of the party, and, as I gazed at her, I seemed to be held spellbound. It was not mere beauty that I saw in that bewitch- ing countenance, it was the essence of feminine attractiveness. This was Vivian Burke! This was The Angel! Without warning, the elderly woman swayed dizzily in her sad- dle and then drooped over upon the neck of her horse, narrowly escaping a fall to the ground. Bob Burke, hearing a shrill scream of fright from the Angel, leaped from his horse and ran to his m-other's assistance. She had fainted-overcome by the heat and exhaustion. As the son assisted his mother to the ground, he called to several miners, who were standing nearby, to bring him some water. One man, spurred into action by this request, darted off down the road. The rest of the men, stupid as they were, stood at a dis- tance as if paralyzed, apparently wondering at the strange occur- rence. The miner who had left the group- suddenly darted past them, carrying a vessel of water. He reached the newcomers in the middle of the road and knelt down beside the Angel 'and her brother Bob, who were bending over the unconscious woman. The cold water seemed to work wonders, for within a moment or two, Bob's mother had opened her eyes and risento a sitting posture. Bob then turned to the man who had so kindly brought the water, saying, I want to thank you for your assistance. Will you help us further by showing us the way to the home of Thomas Burke ? The miner eagerly replied that he would be glad to do so, and the four set oi, Mrs. Burke leaning heavily on her son's shoulder. As they walked slowly along, with the horses following in the rear, the miner learned that Robert Burke, as well as his mother and sister, had come to Blue River Gulch upon the invitation of Thomas Burke, Bob's uncle. ThomaslBurke, who was a wealthy mine owner of the town, had offered his nephew the opportunity of accumulat- ing a small fortune by operating one of his mines. Bob was not by any means averse to accepting this offer, in fact, he rejoiced at the opportunity. He soon learned, however, that it would be impossible for him to leave for the West without being accompanied by his mother and sister. They both insisted upon sharing life with him C935 PURPLE AND GOLD-WAITE HIGH SCHOOL-NINETEEN NINETEEN in the small mining town. He had hoped to persuade them to stay in the East, but they remained steadfast in their decision. Accord- ingly, the three had set out from their home in Brooklyn, New York, and, after many days of Wearisome travel, they found themselves at last in Blue River Gulch. Within less than thirty minutes the four had come in sight of the large cabin belonging to Thomas Burke. Their guide pointed out the place to the newcomers and turned to go. Just a moment, exclaimed Bob, May I ask you who you are? You know all about us, but we do not even know your name. The miner hesitated for several moments as if reluctant to give his name. He finally said, I reckon you kin call me 'Empty' Williams or 'Empty' for short, like the boys do. It wouldn't seem natural to be called by any other name. We are glad to have become acquainted with you, Mr. Williams, said Bob heartily as he grasped the other's hand. I would like to thank you for your kindness to us, Mr. Williams, said The Angel stepping forward. Empty looked at her and as he did so The Angel smiled at him and held out her hand. Almost involuntarily Empty grasped the delicate palm and then blushed a deep crimson. Abruptly and awkwardly he dropped her hand, and, after attempting to conceal his embarrassment by uttering a few almost inarticulate words, he strode away. Such was the coming of The Angel. The days that followed found a strong friendship existing be- tween Edward Barclay and Empty Williams. They seemed nat- urally attracted to one another and Barclay was becoming more and more hopeful that Empty would finally become his own self again. Little did he suspect what the coming days would really mean in the life of this man. One evening, as Barclay was sitting idly on a chair in front of the hotel, he noticed the familiar form of Empty approaching. The two men greeted each other, after which Empty drew up a chair close to Barclay's and sat down. Both remained silent for a time, when Empty suddenly said, Say, Barclay, do you reckon this outfit I got on is good enough to go callin' in ? Barclay turned slowly around and looked at his friend with won- der in his eyes. Empty met his gaze steadily and repeated, Do you reckon it is? Barclay now moved to speak, replied, Why, it's all right with me, Empty. You can visit me in that outfit any time of the day or night. I shall not make any comments on it. Do you reckon it's good enough to go callin' in ? continued the other persistently, apparently disregarding the answer his friend had given. C 94 J PURPLE AND GOLD-WAITE HIGH SCHOOL-NINETEEN NINETEEN It might not be acceptable in the ball rooms of Boston, but of course, this isn't Boston, answered Barclay again. Empty was not yet satisiied andcfinally said courageously and boldly, Then, is this outfit good enough to go callin' on The Angel with ? Barclay was now speechless with surprise. He could only stare at the man before him. The Angel ? Yes, he had heard of The Angel. Everyone had. Her attractiveness and pleasing personality was the talk of the miners, both old and young. This man Empty Williams intended to go callin' on The Angel ? Suddenly the truth fiashed upon Barclay's mind. The secret of the transformation of Empty from the idler into the man was now revealed. He realized moreover, his own opportunity of assisting Empty to make this transformation complete. He saw that this man was regaining his former pride not only in regard to his per- sonal appearance, but also in regard to his behavior and firmness of character. Certainly not! was Barclay's answer to his friend's question, and, as a result, the idler departed from him that evening firmly re- solved that he would purchase a new suit of clothes, that he would buy a new pair of shoes, that he would do all he could to make him- self presentable in The Angel's sight. Barclay had told him that he must stop idling away his time, that he must go to work on his claim in order to secure the funds wherewith to purchase the articles that he desired. The result was that no miner in the town worked any harder at his claim than did Empty No claim in the vicinity paid better than did his, and, furthermore, no other miner in Blue River Gulch was received by The Angel with that same smile and that warm welcome with which Empty was received. Thus began the regeneration of Empty Williams. Two weeks after Empty's resolve to turn away from the life of the idler, a startling announcement shook the little town of Blue River Gulch. One warm quiet June afternoon, Bones Baker, who was the sheriff as well as the owner of the General Store in Blue River Gulch, sent several miners through the town to announce an important, gen- eral town meeting to be held in front of the hotel within an hour. At the specified time most of the inhabitants had gathered at the specified place and were- waiting to learn the reason for the meeting. Bones the sheriff, was standing upon a chair, facing the throng. His first statement was abrupt and startling. Men, he said, there is a thief in camp I A hoarse murmur of surprise and astonishment traveled through the group. When the murmering had ceased Bones continued. Let no man escape from this crowd or from Blue River Gulch. C957 PURPLE AND GOLD-WAITE HIGH SCHOOL-NINETEEN NINETEEN B-ob Burke has been robbed of five hundred dollars worth of gold. At this juncture the sheriff beckoned to Burke to come forward. After he had done so, Bones asked him to tell the miners how he had been robbed. Accordingly Bob faced the throng and said: As most of you know, I, as well as my mother and sister, am a newcomer in Blue River Gulch. We live with my uncle in the Burke Cabin close to the hollow. Last evening I returned from the claims with a large quantity of gold which I put away with the rest of the gold I had, in the place where I always keep it. I had, at that time, five hundred dollars Worth of the ore. This morning at one o'clock, I was aroused from my sleep by the sound of someone moving in my room. Fearing for the safety of my gold, I arose cautiously and walked in the direction of the sound. The room was pitch dark and, before I knew it, I had stumbled into someone. We grappled with each otherg but, before I could protect myself, I had received this cut. Here the speaker turned up his left sleeve and displayed to the assemblage a bandaged forearm. He then partially removed the bandage, disclosing a long, jagged knife wound. After I had received this cut, continued Burke, I suc- ceeded in knocking the knife from my assailant's hand and it clattered to the floor. The next moment, the thief dealt me a heavy blow and I fell to the floor unconscious. When I regained consciousness, my mother had bandaged the wound. She told me that the gold had been stolen I and also gave me this piece of bone which she had found upon AfterIhad received this cut,Isucceeded in the door. bone is evident- ly a part of the handle of the knife. It must have been broken oi when the knife fell to the floor. After Burke had finished, Bones said, Tell us who the thief looked like. I cannot describe his appearance, replied Burke. Although the moon was shining bright last night, my room was dark as it always is. This is due to the fact that a large tree stands near my window and it always darkens my room. I know nothing about the thief except that he was a strong man. Bones now turned to the crowd and stated that if anyone had any accusations to make, he should make them at that time. The miners then broke up into small groups and discussed the situation excitedly. Finally one miner drawled out in a loud voice, C963 knocking the knife from my assai1ant's hand. PURPLE AND GOLD-WAITE HIGH SCHOOL-NINETEEN NINETEEN IlllllIllIllIllIIIIllIllIllIllIllIllIllIllIllIllIllIIIIIIIIIIlllllIllIllIllIllIIIIIIlllIIIIllIIIllllllIllIllIllIIIllllllllllllIlllllIllIllIIIIllllllllllllllllllllllllll Say, sheriff, I reckon we'd like to hear from this stranger they call Barclay. I ain't got nothin' agin' him and I can't prove he wasn't at the hotel all last night but we want to know what he's a-doin' here. A man who was standing at the edge of the group now become ex- ceedingly excited. This man was, as we might have guessed, none other than old Smith, the hotel clerk. Smith's curiosity was now to be satisfied. Barclay would now have to tell why he was in Blue River Gulch. He could keep secret no longer the nature of his business. Smith's eyes were fairly bulging from his head as Barclay pushed his way forward through the crowd. Gentlemen, began Barclay, who appeared as easy and calm before the miners, as if he had been back is Pittsburgh, addressing one of his club meetings, Gentlemen, there is now no reason for keeping secret my business in this town. In fact my business here is finished, and I expect to leave here within a week. I may as well tell you that I am a traveling buyer for the Pennsylvania Land Com- pany. I am in the West to buy land for this company. Of course you all understand that there is competition in this business as there is in any other business. It was to my advantage to remain silent until I had made my purchases. I have made these purchases, as Mr. Baker, the sheriff, knows, and I am now ready to move on farther West. About the robbery, I know nothing. I was in my room at one o'clock this morning. When Barclay had finished, Bones assured the miners that he believed that everything that the Easterner had said was true. Bones desired to ask Barclay a question or two before he per- mitted him to go, and therefore inquired, Did you say that you know nothing of the robbery ? Yes, answered the Easterner. if And you were in your room all last evening ? No, I was restless last night and decided to take a walk. At what time was this? Near midnight. You did not, by any chance, walk toward the hollow near where the Burke cabin stands ? Why-yes! I walked in that direction, affirmed Barclay. The Easterner now began to feel nervous. He looked at the crowd and discovered that all eyes were fastened upon him. He saw, that although innocent of the crime, a net of circumstantial evidence was being woven, slowly though surely, around him. Tell us what you did next, commanded Bones I walked past the hollow and Burke's cabin and continued up the road for about a mile. I then turned around and came back to the hotel. I arrived there at a little after half past twelve. 4979 CK K6 PURPLE AND GOLD-WAITE HIGH SCHOOL-NINETEEN NINETEEN 'Tm sorry, Barclay, said the sheriff reluctantly, but you'll have to be searched. Barclay willingly submitted himself to be searched, while Bones, in the meantime, sent two of the miners to search the Easterner's room. It proved, however, that Barclay had no gold of any descrip- tion upon his person or in his room. Another question or two yet, Barclay. Did you see anyone near the Burke cabin when you passed by ? Barclay hesitated for some time. He Hnally admitted that he had seen some one near the cabin when he was returning to the hotel. Do you know who he was ? Barclay now wished that he had never seen Blue River Gulch, that he was a thousand miles away from the town. Again he an- swered in the affirmative. This man was 'EMPTY' WILLIAMS, he finally said sadly. All eyes were now turned to Empty who was standing close by The Angel, her mother and brother. Here was torture indeed! Barclay, whose friendship with Empty had deepened into brotherly love, was now forced to bring incriminating evidence against this friend. HOW DO YOU KNOW it was 'Empty' Williams? Barclay answered this question as if he was in a dream. The moon-was shining brightly, he said brokenly, I saw 'Empty' Williams. As I called his name, he disappeared into the hol- low and did not answer me. His hat-coat-face. It was 'Empty' Williams. As Barclay said the last word he stumbled oi weakly, and sat down in an adjacent chair, burying his face in his hands. Bones then told Empty to step forward. The Angel who had now become alarmed at the condition of affairs, ran to her brother and implored him to say that Empty was innocent. In compliance with her request he attempted to make such a plea, but he was silenced by Tony Moore and several of his followers, who shouted out in rough tones of voice, that if there was a thief in camp, they wanted to know who he was. Empty had meantime made his way confidently and fearlessly forward. You have heard what Barclay has said, were the sheriff's words, Were you at the hollow near Burke's cabin last night between mid- night and one o'clock ? No! answered Empty quickly and emphatically. Never had anyone been so astounded as Barclay was when Empty Williams made this statement. On the other hand Empty's amazement had likewise been unbounded when Barclay had accused him of being at the hollow at the time mentioned. Here 4985 PURPLE AND GOLD-WAITE HIGH SCHOOL--NINETEEN NINETEEN was the strangest of situations! Two close friends denying one another. Bones knowing the existence of such a friendship be- tween the two men, was as puzzled as they themselves were. He could only stand and stare from one to the other in amazement. Barclay suddenly jumped to his feet excitedly and shouted, Wing Loo! Where is the Chinaman. I had forgotten. I saw him last night about a quarter of a mile from the Burke cabin. He must know something about this. Where is Wing Loo? Barclay rushed off like a madman in search of the Chinaman. Several other men left the assemblage and followed him closely. Barclay found Wing Loo in his tiny cabin and seizing him about the waist, he half dragged, half carried him back to the hotel. Arriving there, he hurried the Chinaman forward within view of the throng and shouted breathlessly, Tell them what you know! Wing Loo blinked stupidly at his audience, but said nothing. You were near Burke's cabin last night when someone got away with a pile of gold, explained Bones, What were you doing there? Wing Loo, aroused by the sheriff's threatening attitude, said hurriedly, Me no takee gold. We will find out whether you took any gold. What were you doing there ? Tony Moore, him velly bad man, the Oriental said solemnly. Several of the miners laughed loudly at this statement, while others glanced at the censured Tony, who was scowling darkly at Wing Loo. Wing Loo's bland face was expressionless. Never mind about Tony Moore. What were you doing near the Burke home ? Me folgettee 1ninel's wash till late in night. Takee wash out to minel and come home. By Bulke cabin me see Tony Moore jump flom window. Tony go into hollow. Me follow. Him thlow something in river. Me find knife stuck in mud. Tony make bad thlow, and knife not go in Watel. Wing Loo was now holding up a knife, with a discolored blade, to the View of the assemblage. Bones took the knife from him and, after examining it, he said, This knife, which is evidently blood- stained, bears the initials T. M. on the handle. Part of the bone handle is gone. Tony Moore, his face purple with rage, made his way forward, swearing in the profanest manner at the heathen Chineef' As he ap- proached the sheriff and Wing Loo, he became more wrathful until, finally, unable to control himself, he made a furious lunge for his accuser. The next few moments that followed were the most tragic that Blue River Gulch had ever experienced. Ten minutes later Tony Moore had fallen upon the threshold of his saloon with his life blood C993 PURPLE AND GOLD-WAITE HIGH SCHOOL-NINETEEN NINETEEN streaming out upon the road. Tony Moore died guilty. He died as he had lived. It is unnecessary to describe in detail the incidents that led to his death, of how several miners forcibly prevented his assault upon Wing Loo, of how Tony tore himself away from the hold of these men and ran toward his saloon like an enraged animalg of how Barclay shouted, This is confession enough! g of how Tony defied anyone in the Gulch to cross his threshold, and finally, of how Bones and Barclay simultaneously fired their revolvers at the thief before he could draw his weapon from its holster. The gold belonging to Bob Burke was found where Tony had hidden it, a circumstance which gave additional proof as to who had committed the robbery. The days that followed this gruesome tragedy were days of hap- piness for Empty and The Angel as well as for Edward Barclay. The Angel and Empty were happy in each other. Barclay was glad because of this happiness. At the request of his friend, Barclay remained in Blue River Gulch a week longer than he had planned. Empty's request was not an idle one, for upon a wonderful June day, the wedding of The Angel and Empty was held. It would have been a task to find, that day, a prouder man than Edward Barclay, of Pittsburgh, who was given the honor of serving as best man. The hours of exuberant joy that followed the wedding seemed to have the wings of a bird for, before anyone realized it, the day was drawing to a close. Barclay, sobered by the coming of night, informed his friend f'Empty that he had made arrangements to leave that evening, and further stated that it would be impossible for him to stay even over night. Accordingly, at the end of the next half hour, Edward Barclay was passing down the dusty road upon which he had entered Blue River Gulch a few short weeks before. He was leaving behind him the familiar scenes that he could never forget. He was not alone, for beside him rode Empty strangely silent and thoughtful. The muffled beat of the horses hoofs upon the road was the only sound that disturbed the silence. Strange to say both men were thinking of the day when they had contradicted each other. Barclay had said that he had seen Empty at the Burke cabin. Empty had denied that he had been there. Which one of the men was right? Neither one had broached the subject to the other and they parted that night, each having a question upon his tongue, which he did not ask and which was not answered. When they reached the edge of the town, they stopped their C1001 PURPLE AND GOLD-WAITE HIGH SCHOOL-NINETEEN NINETEEN horses and grasped the other's hand in a grip of brotherly love that meant more than words. Heavy gray dusk was settling down upon mountain and plain as Edward Barclay, mounted upon his small, wiry Western horse spurred onward over the broad prairie. As he looked back toward Blue River Gulch, tiny distant lights began to glow and, as if in response to their appearance, twinkling stars came into view above. The solitary horseman left the little mining town in the same manner as 'he had approached it, several weeks before. Four months later found Barclay in Pittsburgh. He had made a successful trip to the West and had now returned to the Smoky City. One morning two days later, as he was sitting at his desk in the Pennsylvania Land Company's oflice, he discovered, to his joy, that among his morning mail was a letter from Empty, After read- ing for some time, he came upon the following: Barclay, I have finally discovered the reason why we contra- dicted each other the day after my brother-in-law was robbed. I want you to read this description of the malady with which I am un- fortunate enough to be afflicted: 'Symptoms-The most striking phenomenon in the affection is the obvious unconsciousness of the patient of his real position. Like a dreamer, he fancies himself under circumstances which do not really exist, but, unlike the mere dreamer, he has the power of acting in acc-ordance with those circumstances. He rises from his bed in pursuance of some course of action in which he supposes himself engaged, or with the intention of accomplish- ing some purpose which his fancy has suggested, and all his movements are well concerted to the end he has in view. He appears to be utterly insensible to danger, and frequently puts himself in perilous situations, as upon the roofs of houses, or on the brink of precipitous heights, situations in which, if awake, he would incur hazard from loss of self-command. If left to himself, the sleep-walker generally returns to his bed, sleeps naturally, and awakens at the usual time, quite un- conscious of the incidents that have taken place, though some- times fatigued by his exertions. He can often be awakened by disturbing him considerably in any manner, but among the most effectual methods to arouse him is that of throwing cold water upon his face? I am a 'SOMNAMBULIST' Barclay! I am a sleep walker. My wife discovered me one night, as I was walking in my sleep and she after- wards informed me of what I had done. Immediately I saw the solu- tion to- our little mystery. I saw that you had been right. You told the truth when you said that you had seen me at the Thomas Burke cabin. I, however, did not know I was there. I was sleep walking. It would only be natural for me, while sleep walking, to go to the home f101J PURPLE AND GOLD-WAITE HIGH SCHOOL-NINETEEN NINETEEN I am a sonambulist, Barclay! of The Angel. You said that you had called to me and that I had not answered you. Of course you can now understand that, as I was not aware of my position, I did not hear you. Here the letter ended and Barclay leaned back in his chair, pleased and satisfied, yet wondering why this solution of the strange affair had not presented itself to him before. He wondered at his own stupidity in not thinking of this answer to the puzzle. Barclay has now found an Angel of his own. She is just as attractive, dainty, and kind as is The Angel of Blue River Gulch. It is hard to say which man, Edward Barclay, the Easterner, or Empty Williams, the Westerner, thinks the most of his Angelf' It is enough to say, however, that both are very happy. I have finished my story, gentle reader. I have told you of Ed- ward Barclay, I have told you of Blue River Gulch and it's inhabitants, I have told you of myself. There is nothing more to be said. What? You have a question to ask. You desire to know who I am? Such an absurd question! I have told you that Edward Barclay was my best friend. I have told you of my fondness for The Angel. She calls me Ray- mond, however, you do not know me by that name. I have always been known as- Empty Williams. -S. Arthur Shaw, Novelist. F I N I S 1 , , . fl02J PURPLE AND GOLD-WAITE HIGH SCHOOL-NINETEEN NINETEEN ' T 5' 1' Q i S' 4 JW if N sl Q 'N Q ,L Q ,ix K A 1 X ,I - SEVERAL weeks ago, while walking down Broadway, having an hour of spare time, thought I would visit one of the many movie houses that dot the Great White Way. I bought my ticket-walked into the play house, and took a seat. There was an intermission of three minutes. The lights were on, and a man none other than our Edward Cary, of Waite, who has become the sole owner of a string of movie houses from New York to Frisco, was addressing the au- dience concerning the bill of the succeeding week. The show at last began. The title of the play was The Real History of the Class of 1919, Waite Hi School. The first reel, although not the most important, consisted of the sitting and introduction of characters. The greater part of the play was taken at Waite Hi or in the vicinity of the school. The cast consisted of 238 girls and 198 boys. The first scene showed some of the boys and girls coming to school on the first day, Monday, September 15th, 1915. Joe Grant, and his ever faithful little friend Harold Kaufman, both wearing Buster Brown suits, were skipping along in high glee, rolling large hoops. Richard Gilham, with his stately step and large goggles, being some- what of a modest chap, paid little attention to his bolder classmates, Al. McFee, Earl Rosengarten, Haven Doane, Ralph Ladd and Park LeGron, who were enjoying a scandalous game of marbles for keeps. Carlos Warner, a sleepy, slow-moving fellow, was enjoying forty winks under one of the shrubs that ornamented the school grounds. His friend, Charles Swope, was annoying Carlos with all sorts of boyish tricks, from tickling his ear with a straw, to throwing water into his face. George Bruggemeier and Robert Rogers, also dressed Ql03J PURPLE AND GOLD-WAITE HIGH SCHOOL-NINETEEN NINETEEN in short trousers, carried huge packages of lunch under their arms, and were chewing gum with all the energy that one could expect even boys of ten to exert. Exarhos Bekos, a fine fellow with more mannish ways than the other fellows, was reading one of Voliviskis' great novels on How To Get Rich Quick. Enraptured with the thoughts of luxury and ease, his dream came to an abrupt end when he was knocked down and his precious book thrown into a puddle of water by Adelbert Kuehn, John Caufiiel, Bill Wilder, Arnold N opper and Carl Benson, who were playing Crack-The-Whip. In front of the school Ginny Miller, Harold Hartley, Jimmie Webb, Wernert Kiemle, and Carl Brand were playing Camel-Back. The girls were just girls, as one may know. They had not yet put away their childish habits and were merely amateurs in the art of painting faces. Little Esther Geary, with her beautiful red hair streaming down her back, was jumping rope with Jeannette Nune- viller. Frances Booth, Irene Knull, Harriet Dancer, Irene Grasser and Mary Sloane were playing jacks in the left corridor of the build- ing. Marvel Wenning, Ruth Stocking, Helen Clark, Catherine Boi- selle, Ruth Heater, and Evelyn Hobe were playing Farmer in the Dell. The whole school yard was a merry playground. Everyone seemed as though he would never grow old. Another picture showed the Freshmen Class in the study room. 178, on the third floor. This room was presided over by a man named Mr. Pollock. The freshmen surely crowded into that room. The schedules for the selection of courses were given out. Then I saw the freshies darting in wild pursuit to their first hour classes. Many, losing their way, were seen inquiring of upper classmen. The Sophs were laughing at the half-frightened freshmen, and directing them to the wrong rooms. The next picture showed a class in Freshman Latin, Miss Boerger being the teacher. The weird and restless expression on the faces of Adelbert Kuehn and John Cauiiiel proved how uninteresting the subject seemed to them. The pronunciation of those Latin words, the accent, declension, conjugation, and synopsis was evidently a conglomeration which left their minds utterly blank. The scene changed, and a class in Algebra under Mr. Merkle, was reciting. The boys seemed to be more alert than did the girlsg but when he should use a plus sign or when a minus sign, when he should change signs, or when he should have two signs, were puzzling ques- tions for the most studious Freshmen. The movie flashed for a moment upon the manual training room of Mr. Henry Mathias. This work seemed to appeal to the boys there and the room was filled with busy workers. Some boys were ham- mering, others were sawing. The articles of furniture that I noticed 11041 , .Y. PURPLE AND GOLD-WAITE HIGH SCHOOL-NINETEEN NINETEEN completed, were tables, lamps, candlesticks, cabinets, and other small articles of household use. The next room that I saw on the canvas was Miss Hutchison's English class. Why the Freshman had to study English he couldn't understand. The girls, who, the boys say, are always good in English, recited with little exertion. One of the Freshmen, coming in late to the class-room, begged to be excused from reciting on account of for- getting his locker key, which was his one means of obtaining his English paper locked within. Miss Hutchison's answer was flashed upon the screen: Come back two hours on Tuesday, Harold. The movie passed on. It was now several months after the school year had advanced. It was one-thirty, at the close of school, the students were reading a monthly magazine called The Retina. The cover was extremely conspicuous, the most beautiful green ever I saw. I knew that it had been dedicated to the Freshman Class, be- cause many Freshmen were gathered together in groups of four or five on the school lawn, listening to one of their classmates, who, by chance, had saved enough money to purchase a Retina. They were taking in the whole contents of the book from cover to cover. In the next picture was evidently near Christmas, for the ground was covered with snow. The class, tutored by Mr. Pavlicek, were giving a play- A Bundle of Sticks -in the High School Auditorium. The roles were taken exclusively by Freshmen, and as far as I followed the play, it was a great success. The end of the first reel showed the students leaving school, June 15th, 1916, for their summer vacation. Second Reel The second reel began Sept. 17th, 1916, with the coming together of three hundred boys and seventy-one girls at Waite Hi. These Sophs were seated in study room 64, on the first floor, under the guardianship of Mr. Travis, a man who always treats the pupils fair and square. Of coure, I saw the Sophomores playing the same tricks on the new Freshmen that had been played upon them the year pre- vious, but the Sophs seemed proud to think that, at last, they could show their superiority over someone else. The scene changed and a Latin show called the Saturnalia was flashed upon the screen. This entertainment consisted of living pictures, tableaus and dances. The pictures of Caesar, Cassius, Bru- tus, Anthony and other prominent men of the Roman days were dis- played. The tableaus represented legions of Roman soldiers, includ- ing the different soldiers of each of her provinces, and men of the C1051 PURPLE AND GOLD-WAITE HIGH SCHOOL-NINETEEN NINETEEN forum. The dances were Pompeian, and were marked by their extra- ordinary grace and beauty. The scene then turned to our great basket ball team under Teeple, which had several players from our class, including Ray Sheets and Frank Clemens. The team was seen in action at the National Tour- nament in Chicago. How they then did play and how the fifty odd loyal Waite rooters, who accompanied the team, did root, as the home team won victory after victory! The teams that were eliminated, favored our team, because of the boys' skill, and their light weight in comparison to that of their opponents. The Waite squad, although finishing the tournament at third place, was praised to the skies on its return home. One interesting picture was that of the pupils assembled on the first floor of the building for the unveiling of a bronze tablet bearing the honored names of the boys who left old Central to fight in the Civil War. The movie then showed the boys of our present class who joined the Colors in 1917 for the cause of Liberty and Right. Surely, our whole school honors them and we shall never forget the unselfishness of these brave youths. The next scene was a class is plane geometry under Mr. Stuart. What a time the Sophs had at first explaining theorums and pointing out exterior, interior, or alternate interior angles, proved completely nerve-racking, for the boys and girls. This second reel ended on June 17, 1917. - Third Reel The third reel began September 12, 1917, With 300 girls and 90 boys in the cast. The girls were seated in study room 126, the Senior room. The boys, not so fortunate as the girls, assembled in room ad- joining 126. Mr. Mathias with his smiling countenance, had charge of 126. The picture moved on to December seventh and the one great event of the Junior year, The Junior Hop, seen in full sway at the Woman's Building. The faces of the young people were glowing from the exertion with which they were taking part in the dance. The whole affair was carried to a most successful finish. Still the movie continued. The auditorium was seen filled with people. The orchestra was playing, the curtain rose and the Bells of Corneville began. As the play progressed, I noticed particularly the ease and unconcern with which the various parts were taken. Throughout the play there were numerous bursts of applause, which proved to me that the entertainment was enjoyed by the audience. Ql06J PURPLE AND GOLD-WAITE HIGH SCHOOL--NINETEEN NINETEEN The next scene of importance was a view of the same auditorium several months later. A play A Trial By J ury, was presented. There was a court scene, with the judge on the bench, the jury in their seats, lawyers at the bar, and a number of witnesses. On first view- ing this scene, I thought I was at Bowling Green, arrested for speeding. A picture of the gymnasium, where a masquerade party, given by the four literary societies, was taking place, was the next scene that interested me. There were clowns, red cross nurses, ballet dancers, colored comedians, tramps, rubes and even the devil himself. Inoticed that refreshments were served. Punch, I believe. Some of the boys, among them Jimmie Feak, frequented this stand often. The Collingwood was the scene of the next picture shown. The Quill and Dagger Literary Society was giving its annual dance. It was attended by one hundred couples. This was the only public dance given by any individual literary society in Waite that year. The scene again changed to the auditorium. The windows were raised, as warm weather had come. The school year was almost at a close. The whole school was brought together to be addressed by three Canadian officers, who had seen service in Europe, and who had been brought home wounded. They were fine specimens of manhood. The last picture in this third reel showed the noble Juniors per- spiring over their examinations in June, 1918. Fourth Reel-Senior Year ' The fourth reel began September 9, 1918, with 100 girls and 90 boys assembling in room 126. Some of the fellows Who had started four years previous, were among the number, but what a change. James Webb had grown from a mere infant to a young man with flashy neckties and long trousers, Robert Rogers, the student manager with his business air, had just completed a most successful year in that ofiiceg Paul Ruch, who had taken a course in salesmanship, had become a successful salesman of the Jordan car, Ralph Ladd, after many painful years, had become a Senior. The girls, too, had changed Merle Bolton, to keep up with the latest style, had bobbed her hair, Verda Pelton had successfully mas- tered the art of the powder puff 5 and Loretta Pratt showed that she knew the latest steps in dancing. The next picture was that of the dance given by the four literary societies in the Waite gymnasium. The dance was well attended and, from the gaiety of the students, they were evidently having a good time. Next I saw the students being dismissed from school on account of an epidemic, the Spanish Influenza. 11071 PURPLE AND GOLD-WAITE HIGH SCI-IOOL-NINETEEN NINETEEN There were no more pictures for six long weeks, and no more pictures of the class of 1919 taking examinations. There now flashed upon my sight, in big letters, on the screen, English Eight Class. The picture showed the pupils in their re- spective seats, with Miss Dunlap conducting the class. The conver- sation of the class was fortunately written upon the canvas. I will try to repeat the words as they were shown. Harry Basil, have you your English paper this morning, in- quired Miss Duslap. No Mam, replied Harry, as he rose to his feet. I- Disappear! Come on Tuesday, second hour. I'll take no ex- cuses, said Miss Dunlap. James H. is the Influenza prevalent at Rossfordj' asked Miss Dunlap. Oh it is raging frightfully. The schools are all closed, an- swered James. Then how is it that you are allowed to come to school here? continued Miss Dunlap. Well, you see that ban is just for school children, said James. Only for school children? What is your position at Waite, Professor? inquired Miss Dunlap. After that James was known to Miss Dunlap as The Professor. Open your books at page 62 and read the selection at the top of the page, requested Miss Dunlap. After reading the selection, which was rather long, Clair Berg- man was asked to point out the key and echo words. Clair stood up, but not a sound was heard. Is the key word, glean, Clair ? No reply came from the lips of the young man. Is it the word following glean ? No response from Clair. The first bell rang, Clair was as uncommunicative as before. The second bell, probably awoke him, for in desperation he cried, On what page is the selection ? Miss Dunlap's feelings can best be expressed by her action, for the book she was holding, fell with a crash to the floor. The next picture showed a change in principalship at Waite, Mr. Gayman, who had served faithfully and well as principal since the opening of Waite, resigned t-o take a position with the Toledo Com- puting Scale Company. Mr. Pollock, who had presided with dignity over 178, was appointed to the vacancy, supported by the good wishes of teachers and students. - The movie then turned to the Junior Hop, at the Woman's Build- ing. The hall was decorated with Waite colors, and one of the main events of the evening was the awarding of the letters to the football men. e N Q108J PURPLE AND GOLD-WAITE HIGH SCHOOL-NINETEEN NINETEEN In rapid succession four dances were then displayed, all given at the Collingwood, by the four literary societies, the Forum, the Quill and Dagger, the Periclean and the Zetaletheans respectively. These hops were all well attended, showing that parties like these increase the school spirit, and help to create a closer friendship among the pupils. One picture gave a view of one of the Liberty loan campaigns. I saw the girls from Waite on the street corners of the downtown and residence districts, with posters under their arms, darting among the automobiles, risking their lives, placing stickers on cars to boost the Liberty Loan. Their work was most effective and it was highly commended. Another picture was that of the High School Cadets, drilled by General McMaken, Captain Clark, and Lieut. Keller, marching in a parade, welcoming home the boys from over seas. The following scene showed the Senior Prom at the Woman's Building,,May 16. The dance was extremely informal and everyone had a splendid time. The whole affair was a great success. The movie then flashed a scene of the High School refectory. The refectory was elaborately decorated with Waite colors. The Seniors were seen partaking of a delicious banquet. After each person had appeased his appetite, the Class assembled in the auditorium where the Class History, the Class Novel and the Class Prophesy were read. I next saw dancing in the gymnasium, which occupied the remainder of the evening. At last came a picture of a boat named the Greyhoundf It was at the foot of Adams street and was filled with Senior girls and boys. What a time they were having! The girls had huge baskets of lunch, enough to feed the whole American army, the boys, well, they had bought the tickets for the ride. The Greyhound left dock and dancing was soon going on. How often had these pupils, now Seniors, seen this same boat steam by Waite High School, on its way into the bay. The students seemed to feel that they were just beginning to realize the high position they held. What a Wonderful time everyone was having! On the Island, lunch was spread under the leafy trees, and a good lunch it looked to be, judging from the samples I saw of pie, cake, pickles, lemonade and coffee. More dancing followed, this time in the big pavilion. A game of ball was played by these boys who cared more for athletics than for girls. The dangers of the scenic railway were braved by other students, and some indulged in a ride on the merriest of merry-go-rounds. The trip home in the early evening, with the lights a twinkle along the shore, was delightful. The Greyhound landed at the pier about eight-thirty that evening with its tired but happy load. 11091 PURPLE AND GOLD-WAITE HIGH SCHOOL-NINETEEN NINETEEN The last scene showed the class of 1919 marching down the aisle of the auditorium on the evening of June 19. They took seats in the front rows of the auditorium, the stage evidently being unable to accommodate the largest class that was ever graduated from Waite. What a grand sight this was, the boys who were dressed in dark suits looked as though they were going to a Wedding or a funeral, and the girls were in White. The class Went upon the stage several times to sing selections. After the graduating address, our Seniors dis- missed by the benediction, passed out of the doors of Waite to become a part of her past history. -James H. Enderbury, Historian is ll Q110j PURPLE AND GOLD-WAITE HIGH SCHOOL-NINETEEN NINETEEN Address ll fpresidents Cjiarewc-:ll DEAR Classmates, the hour of realization is at hand, and now, that we have reached the time when we must leave the familiar halls of this beautiful building, a majestic palace in itself, and enter into a wide and a more adventurous world, we cannot help thinking that our departure is accompanied by the satisfaction that our earnest efforts and l-ong trying hours of study have not been spent in vain. As we say Good-bye to dear old Waite, our hearts are filled with mingled joy and sadness, joy, because we have reached the goal for which we have so long been striving, sadness, because we are about to sever some of the most intimate and precious relationships which life can offer. We would gladly remain longer here, but the stern voice of Duty is calling us on, and, far better equipped because of our sojourn here, we step forth into the world at the dawn of an age which gives promise of being the greatest and most fruitful in human history. Throughout our high school life the world has been a scene of turmoil and confusion, and during this period we watched with breath- less interest the greatest struggle of all times. We have witnessed the futile attempt of a group of mighty war lords to inundate the world with a Hood of barbarism and vandalism. We have seen the deliberate destruction of priceless treasures of art and literature, of homes, and of families. Countries lay peaceful and contented under the setting sun at the close of one day, only to present a miserable scene of devastation and ruin under the first rays of the next morn- ing's sun. Nations, which had ascended to the highest pinnacles of fame and glory, have sunk into the deepest depths of disgrace, disre- pute and despair. Human lives have been sacrificed and cast abroad like grains of sand. So great has been the destruction on all sides, that we often wonder whether the damage can be repaired by mere man, who has caused it all. Now, at least, after the fate of the civilized world has long hung in the balance, we view, with exulta- tion and pride, the final sweeping triumph of the defenders of de- mocracy and justice over the evil masses representing might and oppression. 11111 PURPLE AND GOLD-WAITE HIGH SCHOOL-NINETEEN NINETEEN Today, the beauty of the world is again brought forth in golden gleams, because peace has once more dispelled all the dark lingering shadows of war. The new age of construction has now begun and the world has closed its door, we hope forever, to brutal greed. The victory for which the allied nations fought, has been won, and the world now finds itself where it was at the beginning of hostilities. But the path to progress and prosperity is much easier than ever before, for the greatest obstacle to the advancement of civilization- Militarism-has, we believe, been removed forever. For several years before August, 1914, there had been no great war, but one can hardly describe the conditions of the world as one of peace. There was war without guns and bloodshed, but it was War just the same. Distrust among nations, preparation for battle on an enormous scale, uncer- tainty of the future, and a general atmosphere of suspicion and doubt were the prevailing notes of the time. It was not a condition to which one can look back, even through the haze of battle, with yearning, be- cause it was only war in suspension. Now, however, those undesirable conditions are things of the past. The nations of the earth will not soon forget the folly of war, for each succeeding year will bring home to them more completely the price they have paid in men, money and property. The common people have once more redeemed the countries of the world by shedding their blood on the altar of liberty, and they stand united against conflict of all kinds. From pole to pole extends a number of races of men, united by a common purpose, who shall see to it that no war maniac shall again disturb the sacred tranquillity of peace. There now exists a new condition of mutual understanding and brotherhood among nations. Men see that the Chinaman's purpose in life is not far different from that of his Japanese brother, that the Spaniard has some things in common with the Swede, and that many races which have hitherto been regarded as widely divergent, have the same views and characteristics in more than one respect. Our boys in France discovered that the emotional Frenchman is only an Amer- ican of a sentimental temperment. The Frenchman on the other hand, found that the cool-headed Yankee is only a Frenchman who had not openly revealed his sensitive disposition. The British Tommy learned that the American Sammy has not changed materially from his sturdy ancestor who- once left the shores of England to pass through trials and hardships in the new world. In short, it will probably be recorded in history that one of the greatest consequences of the war is the birth of a new spirit of international understanding and sympathy. Furthermore, the people of the earth have seen that there are some things which are more precious than life itself, and that one of them is freedom. To diiuse freedom among all nations, great and 1112, PURPLE AND GOLD--WAITE HIGH SCHOOL-NINETEEN NINETEEN small, powerful and weak, and to safeguard freedom against the rules of tyranny, a League of Nations has been organized. And America, where were sown the first real seeds of equality under government, is surely to be the shining light which will guide civilization to its goal, the brotherhood of nations under the Fatherhood of God. War is a fire that fails to melt its participants into a perfect union. The war, from the effects of which we are just recovering, was a' world war, and the whole universe was melted in the tires thereof. The world must rapidly harden into some form again. The restored social progress must presently begin to wear channels for itself and life must again be organized. As Americans, it is our su- preme privilege and duty to support those forces which are pledged to direct the social progress along the right channels, and so to mold the cooling World that it shall more fully conform to the true desire of an enlightened humanity. Classmates, to us the period that is at hand offers unprecedented opportunities for individual thought, initiative, and action. It calls for original thinking, for constructive Work, and for courageous statesmanship. Clear-minded, keen-thinking men will find a myriad of chances to make distinctive places for themselves. Upon us, as Americans, rest the hopes and responsibilities of a regenerated world. The sturdy manhood of the allied nations has geen greatly depleted, and thousands upon thousands who paid the supreme sacrifice, lie martyred, under the blood-stained battle fields of Europe. The gi- gantic task of building up the world for tomorrow devolves therefore upon us, the younger generation. Let us, as Americans, remain true to the principles for which our brothers, fathers, and friends have struggled, and let us reconstruct the world in such a manner that it may truly be said that they did not die in vain. They have won in the initial struggle for the emancipation of the world, but if we fail to do our part in carrying on this noble purpose, their victory shall have availed nothing. If we iight as they fought, we cannot help succeeding. Every life given in France and Belgium is a mute ap-peal to us to continue the great work. The guiding principle of today is service, effective service. We have been gradually getting ready to adopt this principle through painful experiences. Christ made clear to men of the old days that only as they served one another could they attain that for which all men seek-happiness. Slowly we have come to realize the truth of this. The happy man is he who works, not to overpower and control, but to produce and help, or, in brief, to serve his fellow men. Mutual service is the basis of modern industry and business, religion and politics. Let us live to serve our fellow men, and thus to serve ourselves, for we not only aid those for whom we are serving, but we also 11131 PURPLE AND GOLD-WAITE HIGH SCHOOL-NINETEEN NINETEEN enoble ourselves by the act. The greatest leaders are those that de- vote themselves to a tireless, unselfish life of service. Washington, the founder of our nation, and Lincoln, the true American, are forceful examples of such leaders. The greatest model is Christ, who came not to be ministered unto, but to minister. The war taught an invaluable lesson, for when the call was ex- tended, thousands of infiuential men, the leaders of industry, finance, and big business flocked to Washington to lend their talents and abilities to the government. They sacrificed their own interests to serve a greater cause, the cause of Democracy. The Red Cross, Y. M. C. A., Salvation Army, and other organizations threw themselves whole-heartedly into the struggle. Those who served best of all will never enjoy the fruits of their efforts, for they have passed into the Great Beyond. The entire war in fact, is a continued lecture on service. The opportunities for service are at present innumerable. De- Vastated France, plundered Belgium, and even deluded Germany turn to us with appeals for help. A period of world-wide reconstruction is upon us. We must face this period with all the intelligence and courage we possess, thereby serving mankind and enriching our own characters. We have received great gifts from our country, in the benefits of a high school education. Our obligation to a country that has made possible our education and our liberty is indeed heavy. Let our ideals and aims be as lofty and as disinterested as those on which our nation is founded. Let us set a goal toward which we shall strive with might and main. Never can this race be Won by the sacrifice of character, but let strength and honesty of purpose be as important and as dear to us as the greatest personal achievements. Today we take leave of dear old Waite, the school which for the past four years has meant so much to us. Soon we shall separate to set sail upon the boundless sea of life, on which our various routes will lie far apart. The Twentieth Century, at the beginning of which we are embarking upon our journey, carries great promise for humanity, and, of us, the rising generation, the future citizens of the United States, great things are expected. Let us ever uphold the high ideals with which we have been inspired, and let us have the courage and initiative to cast aside all precedents, and to strike out boldly in new endeavors. Above all, let the watchword of the age-Service-be the keynote of our lives-lives which shall be lived, not merely spent. -Thurlow C. Wilder.

AMONG other events showing high school spirit this year, were the two parades, on April second and eleventh, Welcoming the boys home from overseas. In these parades the boys from both Scott and Waite who have been taking military drill in school, took part. School was closed both times, making it possible for all the boys to march, and there was a very large turnout. There were also many former Waite students in the ranks of returning soldiers, who were in all probability, not a little elated to see such a large part of the student body of Waite turn out for their welcome. Besides giving the spectators a chance to view Toledo's heroes, these parades afforded them the opportunity of seeing the splendid marching of the High School boys, the result of a year's military training.

It was with this principle in mind that, just sixteen years ago, a group of young girls of the East Side Central School, desiring a closer acquaintance with all that is best in literature, music, art and in various other lines, banded together for the purpose of realizing their ambitions. Miss Grace Gibson, who had awakened this interest in the minds of the girls, acted as their director, and exerted wonderful influence in laying the foundation of this organi- zation, which was at that time called the Margaret Fuller Society. Among its charter members were two who are now on the faculty of Waite High School, namely Miss Harriet Kimble and Miss Marjorie Belle Noble. Later on, two important changes were made: it was moved from the school where it had originated, first to Central High and then to Waite, and its name became the Zetalethean Literary Society. Dur- ing these years of reorganization, obstacles and reverses were en- countered, but they were only quality-testing stepping stones to success. Each year the girls seem to have developed more self-reliance, to have made better plans, to obtain a comprehensive view of the subjects which they had originally planned to study, and to have found more new channels of interest. And this year the society seems to have made more progress than ever before, and to have set its standards still higher. Look at our members! Among them are members of the Retina and Annual Boards, heads of the Literature and Literary Society Departments of the school paper, members of the girls' basketball team and more than that, our president is the vice-president of the Senior Class! Has any other society a better record for participation in school activities? And as for scholastic merit, surely the Zetale- theans are not to be surpassed by any other school organization. In truth it may well be proud of its present members, proud of those who have left the society to do their part in the world's work, yes, and proud, too, of our honorary members, the Messrs. H. A. Jones, C. W. Gayman, F. W. Mathias and R. W. Wells. In addition to deriving such benefits as a knowledge of oratory and debating and information concerning current events, the members have enjoyed many social functions such as spreads, theater parties, and informal dances. There are, besides these, three annual events: the dance of the four literary societies, the farewell party for the seniors and the banquet given at the close of the school year, at which all the active and honorary members and critics are present. The meetings are always well-attended and the programs exceed- ingly interesting, due to the co-operation of the girls, the program committee and the critics, to whom we are indebted for their willing service and kind advice. Once a year an open meeting is held and several times annually the society joins with other organizations in meetings which are always of great enjoyment and interest to the students. With this as its record, the Zetaletheans may feel that they are fulfilling their purpose of cultivating and enriching their minds and are living up to their splendid motto: Nihil sine labore.

Wilder Harold Cooper Calvin Reed PURPLE AND GOLDf-WAITE HIGH SCHOOL-NINETEEN NINETEEN QUILL AND DAGGER LITERARY SOCIETY The Quill and Dagger Literary Society was organized during the year 1915, by some of the most aggressive boys of Waite High School. The first year was spent in its thorough organization and framing its constitution and by-laws. By earnest, diligent and conscientious en- deavor the boys who assumed the initiative built the foundation which has proven strength and unity of the society. The Quill and Dagger Literary Society now has twenty-nine members who are carefully selected from the various classes With- out any thought of class consciousness. A large number of the class ofhcers and members of the Retina and Annual, as Well as many of the participants in all athletics, are members of the Q. Sz D. The regular meetings held during the year have revealed a large harvest of literary as well as musical and dramatic talent in the society. The annual banquet which was held May 2, brought to light the strong fraternal feeling that exists among its members. Because of the foundation on which it is built, the material of which it is composed, the feeling of fraternity and the conscientious endeavor of its officers and of each individual member, the Quill and Dagger Literary Society will long remain one of the greatest institu- tions of Waite High School.

From those seventeen the membership has increased steadily until the society is one of the largest in the school. Uponithe opening of Scott High in 1913, the society became divided and the Alpha Chapter was organized, and when Waite opened, the work of the Beta Chapter was continued. A joint meeting of the two chapters is always enjoyable, and the annual luncheon is a function eagerly looked forward to by all of the members. The programs during the past year have been very interesting and instructive. Debates have figured very largely in the work and dealt with very modern and practical problems. The social functions enjoyed by the young ladies of the society, are numerous spreads and theater parties, dances and in June a farewell party for the Seniors. Owing to the irregularities in the school curriculum this year, the annual luncheon with the Alpha Chapter was not held during the Christmas vacation as has been customary, but was held on Feb- ruary 22. The work of the society is carried on by the girls themselves and entirely without the help of a director, they are, therefore, deserving of much credit for the faithfulness with which they have adhered to their motto Nulli Secundae QSecond to Nonej. One of the most enjoyable meetings of the Periclean Literary Society held this year, took place in the Auditorium on the afternoon of Friday, November 29th.

However, in order to graduate, they were obliged to attend Central High, as the East Side High was not equipped with Physics and Chemical Labora- tories. At Central many of them joined either the Websters or the Demosthenian Societies, and it was not until the school year of 1914, when East Side Central was closed, that the Forum, which had always maintained its existence, Was transferred to Central, and for the first time appeared in the Almanac. With the closing of Old Central in preference to the new Waite High, the Forum was again brought back to the side of the river where it was born. Since its birth, the Forum has always stood for the highest standards in all the school activities. Realizing that a student is thrice blessed who can stand on his two feet and easily reveal the operations of his mind without missing most of the cylinders, ex- temporaneous speaking and debating have been encouraged. Now, most of the members are super-equipped, so that they can talk with- out boring their associates or causing them physical pain. This is regarded as a positive asset. While not encouraging lounge lizards and parlor snakes, the Society has been active in promoting social activities in the school, and the Forum Dances are always looked forward to with pleasurable anticipations. If the Forum in the future shall be able to live up to its glorious heritage of the past, it will always maintain its position in the front rank of the literary societies of Waite High School. On the 24th of January, the Forum Literary Society met in the Auditorium for its fourth regular meeting. After the rollcall and scripture reading, the censor offered the following: Humorous Reading- I Love Corn Beef, Yanks ...... Roy Milbourne Speech- Life of Roosevelt, as an Enthusiast ...... Richard Gillham Reading- Public Career of Mr. McAdo-0 ........... Max Shepherst Speech- Our Mineral Resources, or the New Discovery of America .................................. Adelbert Kuehn Reading from Stars and Stripes .............. Myron Raudebaugh Discussion- Can a League of Nations Prevent War ..Howard Nauts Humorous Reading ............................ Howard Trautwein Piano Selections ............... Donald Dewey and Francis Stephanz Mr. Collins acted as critic, and after a few remarks, the society voted the program to be most interesting and a literary success. The Forum and the Zetaletheans played a large part in the entertainment offered the Newsboys at the Auditorium Theater, Sun- day afternoon, January 19th. The Mock Trial won much favor from the newsies and their friends, and in the court scene the very serious jury kept the audience in a continuous gale of laughter throughout the play. 1172, PURPLE AND GOLD-WAITE HIGH SCHOOL-NINETEEN NINETEEN HI -Y as ,W rw 1 xx ,V hx N4 K 173 J, PURPLE AND GOLD-WAITE HIGH SCHOOL-NINETEEN NINETEEN 11741 PURPLE AND GOLD-WAITE HIGH SCHOOL-NINETEEN NINETEEN Max Shepherst .....

The past years have been very successful, but this one has surpassed them all both in work accomplished and in social activities. Much credit is due to the leader, Mr. Forman, who is a great favorite with all boys connected with this club. Mr. Warr was also a great aid in the advancement of this organization during the first part of the past year. The meetings were held every other Saturday evening at the Y. M. C. A. and were well attended throughout the year. Very in- teresting talks have been given by Mr. Firman, Mr. Warr, Mr. Klag, Coach Bill Wright, Mr. L. O. Whitcomb and many other men con- nected With Y. M. C. A. work. This club had a very competent man for chairman of the social committee. He is to be thanked for the very interesting entertain- ments which every member greatly enjoyed at the meetings. On the evening of January 30th, the Hi-Y Club entertained the Girls' Friendship Club and a dandy time was had by all present. A hay rack party, followed by an oyster stew at the country home of the president, Mr. Shepherst, was one of the many other social events which the Club enjoyed during the year. Much credit should be given the president, Mr. Shepherst, for he has been an important factor in the success of this organization.

Club, composed of only Spanish students, has been organized this year under the direction of Miss Crystal Emerson. As there has never been a Spanish Club before, the mem- bers have been doing all in their power to make this Club a success. The reason for organizing was to stimulate interest in what is learned in the class room, and to put this knowledge to use. Each meeting is made as interesting and instructive as possible, the Spanish language being the medium of conversation. The topics discussed concern Spain and South America, and, with the aid of Spanish news papers and the Victrola, the meetings have proved to be a marked success. - -A. M.

The meetings are held every other Friday in the respective classes and are some- what on the order of those given by the literary societies. Miss Dun- lap, as censor, assigns the subjects. The programs, this year, with a view of stimulating patriotism, give information concerning our own United States. The club has its oflicers, but unlike literary societies, the oflicers of president, vice-president and secretary are rotary, that of treasurer only being permanent. Dues are collected at each meeting, and at the end of the year the money will be used for some charitable pur- pose. Last year the money saved by the club was turned over to the Toledo Chapter of the Red Cross Society. 4 . This organization is thoroughly enjoyed by all its members and is very helpful in that it accustoms the student to speak in public.

This is perhaps due to the change in the study course. Under the leadership of Dr. Loomis, of the Point Place Church, We are studying Practical Subjects of Everyday Life. This takes the place of the technical course of previous years. The members have shown a Wider interest in the Welfare of the club than ever before. The girls continued their social service Work this year, making a large number of dresses for the refugee children and two quilts which were sent to Belgium. Many social events were also held during the year, including hikes, roller skating parties, two parties with the Hi-Y Club and one with the Scott Friendship Club. 11801 Eleanor Bassett PURPLE AND GOLD-WAITE HIGH SCHOOL-NINETEEN NINETEEN lliaite Friendship Club Helen Whitmore . . .

When our 1918 season ended, we figured we had the man fnamely Mr. Moohrj but due to his resigning from the faculty, the position was again open. Mr. Pollock was imme- diately appointed his successor and although an inexperienced man in this line, the rewards of his work show his success. When other teams were idle on Saturday, Waite was being cheered on to victory, because of the quick hand of Mr. Pollock in securing games. The other serious problems were solved with the same success. We wish to assure him that we are all back of him in this new work and hope that he shall remain in this so often vacated chair. We are at all times ready to oier our concrete assurance that he is justly supported by all and wish him much success in his future endeavors. 11841 PURPLE AND GOLD-WAITE HIGH SCHOOL-NINETEEN NINETEEN mum l W 'lla 'T VB.:-teamb QWD A lllllll' 'fx all , AWK Football Emmy Sheets CCapt.Q Mick Cassidy fCapt. 19191 Joe Sullivan fAlt.

Would he do what no other coach had done- that of producing a successful team? These questions are very neatly answered. The former was the fortunate signing of Larry Bevan and the latter is Yes and No. Yes because he had a winner and No because we did not win from Scott. Coach Larry hails from Ohio Northern University where his work was of the Very successful type. Larry, better known as Coach or Bevo is a man of unlimited ability when it comes to building a perfect football machine. This was first shown by the eagerness and pep with which he quickly jumped at what seemed to many people an unconquerable task Cjudg- ing from past teamsj that of producing a championship team. Starting with a wealth of material, although their former coach- ing had been of no particular variety, he had to make them forget their other years of football training and make them think his way. His ironclad orders and rubs were fair and square and were obeyed to the letter. Popular with the team, but due to his many appearances at pep meetings, he has become Well known to the student body.

Sheets Emmy, our captain and field general, played the quarter back position. In this po- sition, and as captain of the team, much has to be delivered in the Way of generalship and headwork, which he did to the team's credit and the school's joy. He is a natural football player, for he can carry the ball as Was shown in every game, in his zig-zag runs around the end, and he can pass and kick with an accuracy and form that is the best. His great enemy, injuries, which other years had hampered his success, were the least of his troubles this year, for he appeared in every game. His graduation is a great loss for Waite, but We shall not lose him entirely, for as assistant coach in 1919, his fight and pep shall still be present, and his suc- cess is assured. Wilder Bill was our alternate Captain, and as everyone knew, possessed the speed of the team. At the half back position he was a ground gainer Whenever he was called upon. He could run and tackle with deadly accuracy thus saving many a score against Waite. We lose Wilder through graduation, but feel his athletic career is not at an end. I C1901 PURPLE AND GOLD-WAITE HIGH SCHOOL-NINETEEN NINETEEN seen in action. Young Bill the boy who could pull down any kind of a pass, played End. No doubt the players on other teams wondered Why their plays Went bad around his endg it was because he could dive under any kind of interference and spill the play. We are sorry ,Bill leaves us, but graduation gets us all. He has secured credit both for himself and his school. C1911 Cassidy Cass the human top who refused to be downed by his opponents for with a Jump and spin he alluded the best of them We all know him as the fighting Irishman for he 1S one of our best and hardest players His voice of command and encouragement could often be heard above the sound of the battle and often inspired our team to victory As captain of our great 1919 team, he will again be heard and PURPLE AND GOLD-WAITE HIGH SCHOOL- NINETEEN NINETEEN Sullivan Big J oe played his old position at the pivot. His passes from center were always speedy and accurate. On the defense he played loose cen- ter and could plug any kind of a -hole in the line. As Alternate Captain for 1919, we shall expect great things of Joe. I Nop the boy who We never heard of him. came out to make good. position so he said, and feel his absence. 11921 Nopper came from We don't know Where, filled the shoes of Sy Young in every respect. On the scrub team last year He Was Sheets' find, and after a Winter of coaching from Em he He Was out for any Was selected to play tackle. Coach called him the Shoestring Boy for his flying tackles were always at the ankles. We lose Nop by graduation and shall sure ,x PURPLE AND GOLD WAITE HIGH SCHOOL--NINETEEN NINETEEN Cupid although not a surprise player, played a position that few expected to see him in. This was End. Larry's football eye decided this after a Week's practice. He is a speed mer- chant, deadly tackler and hooks a ball in with great accuracy. After a punt by S1ats, Colvin Was Wherever the ball was caught and downed the man in his tracks. Cupid is with us next year and shall be a mainstay in our new Ina- chine. Colvin Petcolf Boni the big boy, played guard. He could bust through and hold them according to his play. He could be easily picked as the All-Ohio High School Guard. He was down on punts with a speed that surprised all. His career in Waite is not ended and his play has not reached its greatest height. We hope to see him deliver h's best next year. C 1953 J - NINETEEN NINETEEN PURPLE AND GOLD-WAITE -HIGH SCHOOL Larson Slats the boy with the educated toe, played on the line. The tackle position was a new one to Harr-y, but he filled it in fine shape. His punts were the gainers of many a yard, for he outpunted our opponents every time. Slats is not attending school at present, but we hope to see him in our new machine next season. OVWYQ ' Buck Buck the hard-hitting full back, showed line that it had weak spots in it. His many a best quality was in backing up the line, as our . . h second means of defense. At this point t e plungers of the first line always stopped. Arthur will be with us next Fall and we expect to see him in his old form. Q 194 J PURPLE AND GOLD WAITE HIGH SCHOOL--NINETEEN NINETEEN Alexander Alex was a new man in Waite High Ath- letics. His goodly size and hard work soon proved him to be the man needed to iill up the line at guard position. With three more years to play Alex shall be a great strength to our team. Shultz Abe was the fullback who alternated with Buck as was shown in the Scott-Waite game. His play proved him to be the real cog needed in the back field to round it off, but due to in- juries, he could not play as often as he liked. He could plunge or run the end with the same ability for he hit hard and was fleet of foot. Mule as the coach called him, will show us some real gains on the grid next year. C1951 PURPLE AND GOLD-WAITE HIGH SCHOOL-NINETEEN NINETEEN , Plock Eddie, second in line for most any position in the back field, was a very valuable man. At quarter he could direct the team with great skill, and at half he could run the end in fine style. Eddie's career in football has ended at Waite, for the roll of paper with the ribbon, takes him away. Quinlin The line, as is Well known, is an easy place to receive injuries. For this reason a man equal in skill to those playing, is held in re- serve. This position was held by Pete, Who. though hampered in his play, due to at bad' eye, neverfailed to come across with the goods. Pete has one more year t-o play and it should prove his best. 11961 DeViney PURPLE AND GOLD WAITE HIGH SCHOOL-NINETEEN NINETEEN Isbell Is, 'Who sat on the bench most of the sea- son, fought every minute to get in there, as he often did. He played most any position in good style, for he had speed and knew how to hand the ball. With this year's experience, Harold will be a great strength to next year's team. Another man, sitting on the bench Waiting for his turn to get in and battle, was De Vubbyf' Playing in the back field Where he could hit the line hard, was his favorite posi- tion. We lose De Viney by graduation, but wish him success in future life and in athletics. f197J PURPLE AND GOLD-WAITE HIGH SCHOOL-NINETEEN NINETEEN DeMuth De Muth, the long boy, Went in whenever there was a vacancy near the center of our line. He did not appear often but his work in prac- tice helped to develop our first team, DeMuth will, no doubt, be on the first team next year and we know his Work will be his best. Van' Wormer Wormy, another boy Who helped to make the first team, had his chances in real games, but a few times. One of thesewas up at De- troit, Where he showed the Wise boys how to stiff arm, by laying out five men in a row. With another year ahead of him, We hope he holds a regular berth next year. ' 11981 PURPLE AND GOLD-WAITE HIGH SCHOOL-NINETEEN NINETEEN Games NO season, perhaps, in the history of Waite's career in football began with such a promising outlook as that of the Fall of 1918. With twelve of the old Varsity men back and plenty of new material to fill the places of the boys that went to play for Uncle Sam, the season began. There was also Waite's new hope, Larry Bevan, with a new influence and with the motto I will succeed. The elements of work and fight had been quickly instilled, so when Bradner came along, the outcome of the battle could be easily seen and Bradner was glad to retire with a defeat of 114 to 0. Due to the changing of management, the schedule of games did not have the best arrangement, for our hardest game came second. It was Northwestern of Detroit, the champs of Michigan, and whose stock ran high in that direction this year. The Bradner game could only be called a preliminary, but it gave our boys confidence and a good workout. Before the game, Larry gave out the fact that when the battle was over the Waite team would be the new crowned champs of Michigan. The game not only proved his statement correct, but showed he -knew what his boys could do. Thus busting Waite's stock sky high. Northwestern had been led to a sad delusion that they were invincible and came to Toledo harbor- ing this viewpoint. VVhen they came on the field the spectators' faces, which had before shown with victory, quickly changed, the shouting ceased for they looked a team and what a team it was. They surely looked invincible for they were-matched in size, speed and skill. While they loosened up, Larry was putting confidence and pep in the Waite squad, and after announcing the line-up, Waite took the Held amidst great cheering from the team's loyal followers. Sheets won the toss and chose to defend the west goal. Detroit kicked off to Slats, of the Waite 30 yard line and ran it back 15 yards. After Em tested his opponents' line and ends, with many successful plays, Slats fell back and punted to Detroit's 30 yard line. With a wide end run, Shield gained 5 yards, but further gains were impossible for Waite's line proved a stone wall. Detroit punted to Waite's 30 yard line where, after a series of trick plays, the ball was advanced to mid-field where the quarter ended. The second quarter started with the ball in Waite's possession in mid-field and neither side had scored as yet. Here Em worked two plays to draw Detroit's ends in, then with a quickly executed pass to Wilder, he caught their ends unprepared to stop it and Wilder went to Detroit's 10 yard line. Here Detroit held and upon receiving 11991 PURPLE AND GOLD-WAITE HIGH SCHOOL-NINETEEN NINETEEN the ball on downs, quickly punted out of danger to mid-field. With the ball in Waite's possession, Em called upon a wing pass play. It was the one we all know to be our jonah, for it was intercepted by the alert Detroiters and ran for a touchdown, after which they kicked the goal. Quarter ended 7-0, Detroit. After giving them H-, Larry brought our boys out with the idea that seven points was nothing to overcome. Larson kicked to Detroit's ten yard line, from which the latter quickly punted to Waite's 40 yard line. After many attempts to connect in overhead play, the ball went to Waite on Detroit's 30 yard line. From here Sheets hurled a pass to Wilder which resulted in a touchdown, Lar- son made the goal, thus tying the score. Waite again kicked off and Detroit returned the ball to Waite's 30 yard line. Here Waite re- covered a fumble, Wilder slipped around the end for 15 yards and quarter ended. With the score tied and the championship at stake, those last twelve minutes were the fiercest ever fought in the Waite Bowl. The ball seesawed back and forward in mid-field for a time, then with a smash at the center, and a dash around each end, the ball was on Detroit's 20 yard line where they held. Shield of Detroit, dropped back to kick, but the ball was blocked by Buck and rolled to Detroit's 4 yard line, where Larson covered it. From here Cassidy plunged over with what proved to be the winning score. Larson missed goal. Waite again kicked off to Detroit and the play on Detroit's 40 yard line. The final score was Waite 13, Detroit 7. The generalship of Sheets and punts of Larson showed that Waite had a star quarter and a wonderful punter. The line outclassed that of Detroit in every way, for they worked like a well-oiled ma- chine. The game was the best exhibition of sportsmanship ever seen in the Waite Bowl.

We were there to play D. U. S. High. The Michigan lads proved to be a very game and scrappy outfit, but what could they do with a team that ran five touchdowns from the kick-offs. One of these plays, Sheets carried the ball, and he sure showed Detroit some open field running. The ball was raced up and down the field with perfect impunity, much to the amaze- ment of the Detroiters. Cassidy and Shultz showed Detroit some real line bucking for they repeatedly tore through the opponents for large gains. The defense of the Waite Team showed a decided improvement. Wilder was sure wild for due to a sprained ankle, he was compelled to remain on the bench. The second string performers showed their cleverness and frequently caused the Varsity men to take heed.

The flu ban, during the latter part of October, was playing hob with the football teams, for games were often canceled and new ones were hard to secure. Coach Bevan said We must have a game, for practice without an occasion of fight never made a winning team. So, on October 26th, the town of Fostoria turned out to give Waite all of the fight they wanted. Down at Fostoria they housed the Ohio Champs, so when the game was over and Fostoria retired, the loser, the pugilists decided on a quick revenge. They jumped in with C2011 PURPLE AND GOLD-WAITE HIGH SCHOOL-NINETEEN NINETEEN swinging fists and loud voices, expecting a quick victory, but were stopped with harder blows and were rescued by the local police force. The teams were matched pretty evenly in size, but the football knowledge of the Waite boys far surpassed that of the locals. Being scouted by both Scott and Columbus, and with Captain Sheets out, due to a sprained ankle, it was up to us to win with straight football and this we did. Waite did not count on first quarter, but in the second they Went over for two touchdowns. The first was due to a recovered fumble by Waite, after which Plock circled the end and scored. The second came after the ball was run to Fostoria's 25 yard line, and a successful pass to Wilder. In the fourth session a long pass, Plock to Colvin, gave Waite its third touchdown. Larson kicked all these goals. The playing of Nopper, Sullivan and Petcoff on the defense, was of much credit to our team, while the performance of Cassidy and Shultz must not be overlooked. Waite blocked five punts, which is a very noticeable improvement in its alertness and power on the defense. Line-up Fostoria 0. Waite 21 Gorril L. E. Young B. Young L. T. Noppy Norris L. G.

For the third time in three weeks Waite returned home from a foreign gridiron, with their opponents' scalps hanging to their belts. November 2nd certainly was a sad day for the Erie boys, for it brought about the first defeat that the Western Pennsylvania Champs had experienced for many a season. The Erie field which was spotted here and there with mud puddles, was very slow and made rapid pro- gress impossible. The game opened 'up with Larson making a onsida kick, which was scooped up by Captain Sheets and carried far into the opponents' territory. A line plunge by Cassidy which netted 10 yards, was fol- f202J PURPLE AND GOLD-WAITE HIGH SCHOOL-NINETEEN NINETEEN lowed by a pass, Sheets to Wilder, the latter crossing the goal line for the first tally. Larson missed goal. The superior strength of Waite was obvious and the ball was seen in the Waite Team's position most of the time. Again in the first quarter Waite worked the ball up the field to Erie's 15 yard line, and Wilder took the ball over the goal on an end run, for the second score. Larson added one point. The second quarter, after series of line bucks and end runs, the ball was Waite's, in Erie's immediate danger zone, and it was from this position that a pass, Sheets to Cassidy, resulted in the third touch- down for Toledo. Slats again was unsuccessful at goal. An injured ankle caused Sheets to retire to the side line in the early part of the second half, Plock being substituted. The only points Waite secured in the second half came in the last few moments of the third quarter when Sullivan and O'Dea on two different occa- sions, were tackled with the ball behind their own goal line for safeties. With five minutes left to play, and the pigskin in Erie's position, on Waite's 30 yard line, McMahon, the 500 lb. Pennsylvania Tackle, was called back and was used to hit the Waite line, for five success- ful plunges which resulted in a touchdown. Sullivan missed goal. Further efforts were futile, and the ball stayed in mid-field through the remainder of the contest. The splendid performance of Nopper at tackle was very outstanding, and the harmony of the team in general was superior to that of the Erie Boys. Captain Devine, Sul- livan and McMahon were the glittering ones for Pennsy. Line-up Erie Waite Fries L .E. Young Schoenfield L. T. Larson Hamilton L. G. Buck Waite C. Sullivan Morgan R. G.

Although the C2035 PURPLE AND GOLD-WAITE HIGH SCHOOL--NINETEEN NINETEEN bowl contained some of the water fsoupj that could not be scooped up in tin cans fspoonsb, Bryan put up a fine scrap and gave Waite a scare. It happened this way: Larry started a Pony backfield against what was thought to be an easy eleven to conquer. Often times under-estimated man-power and real football ability on the part of an opponent have led perfectly good football teams, championship ones, if we might term them as such, to total ruin. At the end of the first quarter one might have thought, Waite was going to experience this very same sad fate, for the score stood 7 to 0 in Bryan's favor. Much of the excitement was due to Brvan's little plunging half-back, Graves. To have seen him slip from the grasp of one player after an-other, you would have said he was greased, for the whole Waite defense could not stop him. He had scored Bryan's first and last touchdown. The first team boys on the bench could not hold their anxiety any longer and when the coach gavethem permission to go upon the field, the cheering can never be equaled. With Sheets, Shultz, Cassidy and Wilder in their old positions, the spirit of victory was again es- tablished, and from then on the ball moved more often in the direction of Bryan's goal. Five minutes after taking the field, Sheets took the six point line, followed closely by Wilder. This ended the first half, the score being 7 to 13 in Waite's favor. In the third frame Sheets again crossed the coveted goal line for the third tally. Larson in the fourth quarter, also added six points by recovering a fumbled ball over the goal line. Graves was Bryan's only hope and it was he who made most of Bryan's gains. The same Waite fighters were there again as are always present when it comes to breaking up an opponent's chances for victory, and all the boys performed exception- ally well.

Doing all its coach promised it w-ould do, even to using the famous Georgia Teck Shift and the Carlisle Indian lateral pass, Waite swamped West High of Columbus in the Waite bowl, Saturday after- noon, November 16th. The score, 38 to 0, did not show the extent to which the East Siders outclassed the champions from Columbus and Southern Ohio. Waite won the toss and chose to receive. Kurtz- halz kicked to Sheets, who, catching the ball, ran through a zig-Zag course behind good interference for the first touchdown. It was a wonderful play and swept the Columbus boys off their feet. The determined manner in which Waite scored the second touchdown showed plainly that West was playing out of its class. Wilder made the second touchdown on a delayed double pass. In the second half the rain made the ball difficult to handle. Waite used the j ump-shift play only once, but it was enough for the West High boys, it being good for fifty yards. The Lateral-Pass play which was executed only once, went for a touchdown in the last minute of play. The ball com- ing from Joe to Cassidy, who laterally passed it to Sheets, who in turn forward-passed it to Young, the latter running an open field for the final touchdown. On one occasion West obtained the ball on Waite's five yard line, but encountered a stone wall when they attempted to cross the goal line. The Waite line sh-owed up most prominently, playing a big league game all the way through. The back field, as usual, was tip-top, with each member of the quartet contributing to the score.

Time of quarters, 12 minutesf 12051 PURPLE AND GOLD-WAITE HIGH SCHOOL-NINETEEN NINETEEN Waite-Scott Game Let us start with the weather outlook on Wednesday evening. Mr. Weatherman said fair weather and all indications pointed to the same, but those that were up as early as six o'clock Thursday morning, doubted the above statement. At this time a slight drizzle started, which increased to pouring torrents and continued until an hour before game time. The Waite boys gathered in the gym and as feeling ran high, there was little said except an occasional Lots of pep, boys or We cannot play in this, but little was said as to the score or that victory was a certainty. The coach was not in favor of playing, for his win- ning plays proved to be those that required speed and for speedy plays to be successful, the ground must not be in a molten condition. Mr. Gayman made the statement that the game could not be postponed due to weather conditions, so we prepared to play. The boys' ankles were rapped with great care by the coach and, according to the boys, he sure fixed them fine, for not a bad ankle did we have all season. When all were dressed and the final words of encouragement, pep and hope were given, they jumped in waiting cars which quickly took them to the field. Upon appearing on the field, the cheers of the loyal students far surpassed that of other years, for was not this Thanks- giving Day to bring forth the joyous realities which were so looked forward to as the realities of a turning tide. After a cheer for each of the glorious heroes, the cheering ceased a little and the eyes of the mass were looking upon a snappy signal drill. The numbers called by Sheets as he directed the plays were distinct and clear. After a few plays, the mud clinging to their shoes, found the men off the field, so that it could be removed before the whistle blew. Scott came on the field and was also heartily cheered. Larson and Sheets punted the ball a few times and each kick was cheered and cheered for they were long and high. Wright comes upon the field, then calling the officials and cap- tains together, they toss the coin. Rah! Sheets has won and chooses to receive with the Purple and Gold defending the east goal. The teams line up and the fight, fight, fight is the greeting the Waite players give each other. Andrews is to kick. The whistle sounds and the battle is on. The kick is poor and goes to Sheets on Waite's 40 yard line. Sheets has not time to gain. The ball is put in play with Scott on the defense. Em tries their line with Shultz acting as the battering ram. He gains 5 yards. The second down, 5 to go. Cassidy gains 3 yards. The third down. Kick, formation, Larson back 40-3-7- 10: zip! the ball snaps back and Sheets is running through ,an open field with but one Scott to pass. We have visions of a touchdown, but Em is dropped on the Scott 10 yard line. Some run eh, boys? With 10 yards to go for the first touchdown in four years against Q206J ' PURPLE AND GOLD--WAITE HIGH SCHOOL-NINETEEN NINETEEN Scott, Wilder is given the ball and on a pretty run goes to Scott's 3 yard line. Cassidy gains 2 yards. With their backs to the Wall, Scott had decided it can't be d-one, but listen, did you hear the signal, Tank formation, Cass back g zip! the ball is over and Waite has started. Larson is next called upon to score. With the ball wet and a muddy foot and at a difficult angle, few thought it possible, but straight as an arrow the ball goes over the bar for an additional point. The score is 7-0 with the game 5 minutes under way. The teams line up and Scott has chosen to receive. Larson again shows us a real kick for the ball goes to the 5 yard line and is caught by Scotter who is downed on 15 yard line. Scott cannot gain and Benny kicks to Wilder on the 50 yard line. With the ball in our possession, we prepared to score again. Wilder slips running the end. No gain. With a quickly executed pass, Sheets to Wilder and a beautiful run, Wilder scores the second touchdown. The crowd has gone crazy. What? No good? Yes, no good. Hamilton the umpire so declares it, for, says he, Bill Young was holding Scott's little quarter back C?J Yes, the crowd sure did go mad. The ball is brought back to the 35 yard line, then a 15 yard penalty is infiicted, putting the ball in midfield. Waite still has ball and once again starts for the Scott goal. The iirst and second tries showed no gain, but the third found Abe Shultz had advanced 6 yards. The fourth down no gain. Ball goes to Scott. On first try, Scott is penalized 15 yards after which Benny kicks to Waite's 30 yard line. On the Hrst down Cassidy gains 3 yards. Waite is caught off side and re- ceives 5 yard penalty. The next play, Sheets' attemped p-ass is inter- cepted by Scott, but Waite's line is made of stone and Scott kicks on fourth down to Waite 35 yard line. Wilder cannot gain on end run. Sheets makes 6 yard through Scott line. Cassidy no gain. Larson kicks to 15 yard line. Scott again fails to gain, kicks to Waite 35 yard line. Up to this time the breaks of the game could be called equal, but from now on the hard luck stuff goes to Waite and the other, good luck, to Scott. On first play called by Sheets the signals were misunderstood. The play was to be a line buck, so Sullivan's pass had a little smoke on it and when it was missed by the Waite backs, was bounding down the field, closely followed by the Scott end Rob, who scooped it up and ran for a touchdown. Benny missed goal. Score 7 to 6. Earned touchdowns Waite, lg Scott, 0. Here started a 35 yard penalty for Waite which was inflicted later. Buck was substituted for Abe Shultz. Scott kicks to Waite 35 yard line. Waite gains 7 yards in three downs. Larson kicks to Benny who returns 3 yards. Here quarter ends. Score 7 to 6 Waite. 12071 PURPLE AND GOLD-WAITE HIGH SCHOOL-NINETEEN NINETEEN Shultz returns to his place, Buck going out. Scott receives. Ben- ny gains four yards. Scott is thus penalized 10 yards. Benny kicks to 40 yard line. Wilder returns it 5 yards. On end run Waite loses 3 yards. Cassidy gains 5 yards through line. Larson kicks over goal. The ball is brought out to 20 yard line and given to Scott, but they lose and Benny kicks. Another break. Waite played, unable to hold slippery ball and Scott recovers. Benny tries over head play and is successful third time, but Nopper prevents a gain. Scott kicks to Sheets who returns 5 yards. Cassidy makes 7, Shultz 2. Scott is penalized 5 yards. First down for Waite. Cassidy gains 4. Buck goes in for Shultz second time. Waite kicks to Scott, but they can- not gain and kick to Sheets who again shows us a pretty run to Scott 45 yard line. Cassidy gains 10 yards on a smashing buck. Wilder loses on end run. Larson kicks to Scott 10 yard line where half ends. Score 7 to 6 Waite. The rest period between halfs was to talk over the game. Help- ing hands clean the mud from the players feet and uniforms. Coach Bevan pointed out the weak spots of both teams, told what plays could best be used and with a final world of pep and confidence, the boys again took the field. Scott receives and makes first down on a series of line smashing bucks. At this point Quinlan goes in for Alex. Scott fumbles on the next play and Waite recovers. Cassidy rips 'em open for 10 yards. Sheets follows with 5. Cassidy gains 5 more. Cassidy and Shultz together make 10 yards. Here Waite is stopped and Larson is forced to kick. Scott then started what later proved to be the winning score. fWith the help of severe penalties inflicted on Waite.J After making first down twice the game was stopp-ed to substitute Shultz for Buck but due to the fact stated in Umpire Hamilton's little book, that a player substituted the third time is ineligible, Shultz could not enter. Buck was put out and 35 yards were given to Scott as a helper in the securing of the needed tally. Plock was appointed to Buck's place and the play was resumed. This was perfectly legitimate, but nevertheless this act pricked deeply into the spirit of the Waite boys. This put the ball on Waite's 35 yard line and for the first time in the contest, Scott showed to a better advantage. For the hammer-like blows struck in quick succession at the left side of Waite's line, Scott's advance could not be stopped until Waite's 10 yard line was reached. The next act on the part of Umpire Hamilton seemed most fitting for the occasion. Scott had made 8 yards of this 10 on three downs and had 2 yards to go, which seemed impossible, for the Waite team had found itself and was fighting like demons. But on this last down, Scott was caught off-side and was penalized 5 yards, thus placing them on Waite's 7 yard line with only one try left to make a touchdown. C2081 PURPLE AND GOLD-WAITE HIGH SCHOOL-NINETEEN NINETEEN This put the Waite team on edge and things began to look brighter, but no luck. The umpire on the next play called off-side on Waite and returned the ball to Waite's 2 yard line, thus giving Scott first down at this point. The remainder was easy and Swartzbaugh took the ball over. Moses again fails to kick goal. Waite received, but failing to gain, Larson kicked to Scott 20 yard line. Here Scott was held and forced to kick. Waite attempted to make first down, again failed and Larson kicked. This ended the third quarter. The last period found both teams doing their utmost to register a tally, but nothing of this sort was realized. Waite tried everything from a fake kick to a forward pass, the latter being resorted to with noticeable frequency the last few minutes of play, but were of no avail. Cassidy was Waite's big ground gainer, when a few yards were needed through the line. He was consistent throughout in his good playing and exhibited a splendid fighting spirit. Captain Sheets and Alternate Captain Wilder made a great many yards on long runs and were dangerous men on the defense. The line held many stars too worthy of mention to be overlooked and boys who will be back next year to turn the pages of Waite's football history from the negative to the more joyful aflirmative side of the question. Was Waite vic- torious ? We are all positive that the time will soon come when the tables will be turned for Waite and we are all hoping that next Thanksgiving Day will be the joyous commencement of that long wished for time.

They are the reinforcement and will help to make the stone wall of our 1920 team, which we hope will be the best in the country. Having practically no coaching, except for the bumps and knocks they received from the Varsity, The team gave Genoa a trouncing of 26-0 score, playing on our gridiron. The kids played well and the ball was in Waite's possession most of the time. Waite's first score was made by Benson, when Genoa fumbled from a punt formation back of Waite's goal and he fell on the ball. In the second quarter Hartman carried the ball over for another six points. Captain Mills kicked goal. The half ending with a 13-O score. Several passes were tried in the game and in the third quarter a forward pass being made, Davies increased the score to 19-0. The ball went back and forth on the field and no scoring was made until near the end of the game when Mills made a touchdown on a line buck through center and then kicked a goal which made the final score 26-0 in our favor. Austin showed up good in his kicks from the T. Trautwein, Otten, Stitt and Whipple deserve credit in holding Genoa to a low score. Then the team had no games for about a month, when they traveled to Genoa, being beaten by a 1.3-9 score. Genoa thought they were playing Soccer for they had an English soccer player for a referee. Mills put two drop-kicks through the goal posts, but they only counted one of them. The team outplayed Genoa in their field play. Substitutes were made which showed up well, being Mclnnis, Downing, Campbell and Cooper. who showed up good for green men, being the first year they played. The Reserves, although being called scrubs, deserve a great deal of credit because they were faithful to the Varsity until the last. It is pretty hard to be a bench warmer all season, but they showed fine Waite spirit. The team was fleet of foot and they held the Varsity to a scoreless battle many nights at practice.

CAPTAIN ISBELL Isbell, our captain, alth-ough a new man on the varsity and with little traveling in fast c-ompany, proved to be very successful as a leader. ' Is played guard and the fact that! his position did not call for many baskets, was not enough to keep him from scoring a goodly number of points. The continual pep talk during the game kept the players doing every minute. With this year's experience Is will be one of Waite's best in 1920. COACH MONETTA Coach Monetta better known as Sam was secured to fill the vacancy left by the resigning of Larry Bevan. The job before Sam was a big one. He was called upon to produce a team out of material poor in quantity, but not quality, that would satisfy the demands of the student body. The success of his work is well known and appre- ciated by the school. We wish to thank Sam for his wonderful work and hope him success in future coaching.

Their season is still in progress and perhaps they will Win a game before long. 1 The seconds Were champs, Alone in their class. But to Win a game . Was a thing of the past. They played with a ball, Bad unies and allg The basket to them was But a mark on the wall. -Bob Rogers. Q 218 J PURPLE AND GOLD-WAITE HIGH SCHOOL-NINETEEN NINETEEN WHEN Mr. Gayman tendered his resignation as principal of Waite High School, various changes in the important offices of this school followed, as a matter of consequence. Mr. Pollock, much to the satisfaction and joy of the student body, as well as to all con- cerned, was immediately appointed as Mr. Gayman's successor, thus vacating the faculty manager's chair, which he had held so success- fully for nearly a year. Mr. Pollock's good judgment-yes, his foresight of success, was responsible for his appointing Mr. Fred Klag, physics instructor, as the new faculty manager of our school. His splendid selection has, oft and again, met with the greatest of satisfaction on the part of all, and it is to him that we owe many thanks for the Wise choice that he has made. Our new manager's previous experience as athletic supervisor offers many promises for his coming success. Mr. Klag was the first faculty manager of Waite High School, and it was the year following the birth of Waite, while he was in office, that Scott so meekly suc- cumbed to defeat at the hands of our boys in every sport except track. We, one and all, are satisfied that he will attain that one great achieve- ment-success-and we are ever ready to coeoperate, to help him gain that end. As a manager, he is unsurpassed g as a speaker, he is eloquent, as a friend to boys, he is their champion, and above all, he is first for right and last for wrong-in fewer Words, he is a leader of men.

They certainly appreciate the great oppor- tunities which that wonderful place affords, and make good use of them. They are under the very best of instructors since Miss Arm- bruster and Miss Lecklider are in charge of the work. They spend two days a week there, Wednesday and Friday, and the Freshmen and Sophomores come to a class for one hour each of those days. On Wednesday afternoons there is an advanced gym class, which consists of Juniors and Seniors. They have Indian Club Drills, march- ing, and different kinds of dancing, after which the girls played bas- ketball until the season was over. This year the gym was opened to all the girls of the school on Friday afternoons for about one-half hour for dancing, after which the girls enjoyed rope climbing, ap- paratus work, and different games and contests. They are grateful to the Athletic Association for their help, furnishing balls, etc. One of the main events always in the year, is the Annual Gym- nasium Exhibition, which was held this year, Wednesday evening, May 28. This year they had an especially good program. The regu- lar gym classes gave wand drills, dumb bell drills and dances, and the advanced class showed skill in handling Indian clubs and in marching, and their dancing was exceptionally well done. It was at this event that the basketball girls received their W.'s. This is the first time they were ever given letters, but we hope it will not be the last, and that they will receive both letters and sweaters next year. It still remains in the future for the girls and boys to give an exhibition, together, perhaps, in the Waite bowl, but we must admit that the boys will have to work up a bit before that can be done. ' f221J PURPLE AND GOLD-WAITE HIGH SCHOOL-NINETEEN NINETEEN Catherine McClure, our speedy little forward, has certainly lived up to the standards of a Waite Captain. Due to the clever star's nack of being there the good fortune of the team has been a com- mon thing. Catherine 'graduates this year, much to our loss, but we Wish her as well as her team-mates, all the possible success for the future. Esther Gerber certainly deserves much credit for the hard work which she has done this year. She was a fine forward, playing an especially good floor game. She was strong and always able to get around her guard. Esther is the only girl on the team who will be out next year, since the others are all seniors. Our center, Mary Sloan, was hardly ever out- jumped in a single game. She was always quick and on the job every minute. As Manager, we could never have found a better one in the school. Mary's basketball career was surely successful, and we are sorry to say is now ended at Waite, as she is a senior this year. 12221 PURPLE AND GOLD-WAITE HIGH SCHOOL-NINETEEN NINETEEN Helen Whitmore was one of those strong bar- riers which served to keep the ball constantly at one end of the Hoor and seldom did it get past the center toward the opposing team's basket while she was in the middle square. Helen has starred for two years in the position of side center, and the team next year will suffer a great loss since she is graduating. Beulah Lee surely knew how to guard. She did In our heavy guard, Elma Lentz, who might be termed as a stone wall, since she served in that capacity on the basketball floor, we have found a world of talent. She performs her duties to per- fection in guarding which we all know is a difficult job, and we feel mighty sorry to lose her by grad- uation this year. not have the strength, perhaps, that some of the other girls had, but she was quick and stuck to her guard like glue. We are sorry to say that Beulah will not be back next year, since she will be lost by graduation. C 2231-'J ' PURPLE AND GOLD-WAITE HIGH SCHOOL-NINETEEN NINETEEN ...Basket-liall... This year has composed one of the best girls' basketball teams that Waite High School has ever had. A good choice of players began the good work and the astonishing speed of the girls kept this work up. They have always been encouraged by rooters and many others who have given their full support. It was not only their good clean playing that won them fame, but the spirit which they had was nothing short of wonderful. They certainly have the credit for putting Girls' athletics on a good foun- dation and starting them to boom, and it is expected that next year the girls with the co-operation of the rest of the school, will keep up the good work and meet with much better success than the team of '19. Of course, the secret of the good results of the team's work lies with the skillful Coach, Miss Lecklider., She spent many hours of real labor, although they were pleasurable, in teaching the girls the fine points of the game. It is remarkable what love exists between the girls and their most capable leaders, Miss Armbruster and Miss Lecklider. This year the girls had a very competent Faculty Manager, Miss Lok, whose work they greatly appreciated, and who found great pleasure in going to the games. The second team certainly did fine work this year, winning most of their games. Jane Wiles, the captain, showed up especially well, and will, no doubt, be on the first team next year, and Elsie Westfall was the chief point-getter. A step toward better things has been taken this year, since, we are glad to say, the girls received letters' in appreciation for the work they have done. The following is the line-up of both the first and second teams, and those of the first team are the ones who received W's. Line-Up First Team Second Team Catherine McClure CCapt.J R. F.

Q 224 y PURPLE AND GOLD-WAITE HIGH SCHOOL-NINETEEN NINETEEN Waite vs. KuPhis For the first game of the season the girls tackled a pretty hard proposition, for to come up against the KuPhi team of the Y. W. C. A. is to play for city honors, since they have. no doubt, the best girls' team in Toledo. Although they lost by a score of 16 to 10, neverthe- less they made a splendid showing, and it could plainly be seen that they would develop into a first class team. Waite vs. Y. W. C. A. Second Team Having lost to the Y. W. first team, the Waite girls entered the fioor on February 15th, to show them that they could at least beat their reserves, which they succeeded in doing after a hard fight, the final score being 8 to 5. Waite vs. Cathedral High On March 14, the team from Cathedral came over and the Waite girls had little idea of what kind of a team they had. But it was not long before they found out. The Waite Six certainly outdid them- selves that day, scoring 21 points while the opponents made 2. There was quite a large crowd to see the game and this was greatly appre- ciated by the girls. Waite vs. Scott Great was the joy thereof when Scott, on March 5, came over to Waite only to be defeated by a 12 to 3 score. During the first half the spectators became very anxious as the score at the end was only 3 to 2 in favor of Scott. But in the second half the girls showed what was in them and chiefly due to McClure, the score ran up to 12, while Scott made no points. . Waite vs. Cathedral The return game with Cathedral was considerably more diiiicult than the first one, since Waite was not accustomed to their small, slippery floor. But the Waite stars did not allow themselves to get behind once during the game, and ended up one point ahead, 9 to 8 being the score. Waite vs. Y. W. C. A. ' On March 27, the Y seconds were determined to seek revenge for the defeat handed them some weeks before, but the Waiteites were just as determined not to receive it. The contest was hard, but tho Purple and Gold Girls proved too much for them, defeating them 1.1 to 9. Elma Lentz showed great skill in this game, in Ugetting aroundw that famous forward, Bert Bishop. 12251 PURPLE AND GOLD-WAITE HIGH SCHOOL-NINETEEN NINETEEN Waite vs. Scott Confident of a sure win, the Waite girls went over to Scott April 10. At the end of the first half, Waite was ahead, but Scott Uboomed up in the second, and when the final whistle blew, the Waite girlies found themselves one point behind, having only 9 points to Scott's 10. Of course this necessitated another game, since both schools had now won one game. Therefore a third game was played at the Y. W. C. A. April 10, before a large crowd of spectators fmo-stly from Waitej. The spirit shown by the Waite boys, girls, and teachers will never be forgotten, and special appreciation must be given to the principal, the faculty manager and cheer leaders. The game was fast and interesting, owing to the close score, at the end of the first half, it was 5 to 5. Whitmore and Sloan cer- tainly showed wonderful playing in this game. In fact the whole team far outclassed that of Scott. Although the-scoreJLt.the end was 15 to 13 in Scott's favor. In the three games played with Scott the-total number of points made by Scott were 28 and those made by Waite 34. SUMMARY Jan. 31 Waite 10 ............. .... K uPhis 16 Feb. 15 Waite 8 . . . Y. W. C.

So new and unusual is the motor to science, that I am unable to get anything relative to its history. l, When was Limberger cheese first discovered, and by whom? 2. What did he do it for anyway? 3. To what do you attribute the bad odor in which Limberger cheese is held by scientists? 4. Looking from what may be termed a purely utilitarian standpoint, and not allowing ourselves to be influenced by incongru- ous incandescence, should you say in all respects that virtually in view of the heterogeneous mobility of attended animalculate it might had or couldn't possibly was ? Answer: 1. Limberger cheese was first discovered by Galileo, floating through space, during his studies relative to the heavenly bodies. This was about 1609. The body had, however, been fioating through space for many milli-ons of years previous to that, as Galileo remarks in his diary that he wasn't proud of it at all, for it was evidently in a very poor state of preservation. Galileo caught some of it and tamed it, but the scientific minds of that age had not yet made the attempt to utilize it as a motor. 2. The discovery was purely accidental. At about the time re- ferred to, Galileo had constructed his powerful telescope which would bring the moon down so that the valleys and hills of that body were plainly visible. One day the telescope brought down a fragment of Limberger Cheese that was fioating through space. It magnified the cheese to such an extent that Galileo could smell it distinctly. This was the true cause of Galileo's abandonment of the Coper- nican theory and eventualy of astronomy. 3. The last answer really disposes of your third question. 4. Grappling with the obtruse and alarmingly previous unsu- fruct embodied in the omnipresent, and constantly emanating and noticeably refractory diagnosis, herein set forth, and still wandering on through the ever changing, yet constantly invariable and fluctuat- ing, yet undeviating perihelion of the heavenly bodies, with unprej u- diced mind and unbiased judgment. Arriving at the conclusion that perhaps in some cases it might not, or yet again it might or might not, and still it might. Bill Nye.

' Answer: 1. Care should be taken while at the table not to get large foreign substances like hair-pins, soup-bones, or clothes-p-ins into the mouth with food, as it naturally requires some tact to re- move them. 2. If by mistake your get your spoon in the gravy so far that the handle is more or less sticky, do not get ill-tempered and show your displeasure, but draw it through your mouth two or three times, laughing a merry laugh all the time. Do not attempt to polish it off with your handkerchief. It might spoil your hand- kerchief. 3. When you get anything in your m-outh that is too hot, do not get mad and swear, because the other guests will only laugh at you, but remove the morsel calmly and tell the waiter to put it on ice a little while for you.

As Found in Si Kuehn's Diary WAITE HIGH, November 11-Awake early, and did hear the whis- tles blow because the armistice was signed. To school, it being the first day back after four week's vacation because of the strange epidemic which did sweep the country. My dog, who did follow me from home, occasioned much excitement by racing in the study rooms. We did all assemble in the Auditorium to hear Dr. Allen A. Stockdale, home from the wars. He bravely led us in cheering and singing patriotic songsg the renowned pianist, Harold Morgan, play- ing the accompaniment. Dr. Stockdale then spoke bravely about the great problems in Russia, Serbia, Turkey, Austro-Hungary and in Germany. We did then march bravely over town, where there was much celebrating and all very gay. Home about 1 a. m., all very tired, and did fall asleep in my fine new arm chair. TUESDAY, November 14-A fine day. Early to school and we did all assemble in the Auditorium, before the great game with Colum- bus West, a fine school of the South. Coach Bevan did give a fine pep talk, urging the teachers and pupils to give better support to our brave football team. Milton Zink, our brave cheer leader, has gone to the wars, so Bob Maginnis, a fine fellow, will replace him at the game. 12715 PURPLE AND GOLD-WAITE HIGH SCHOOL-NINETEEN NINETEEN FRIDAY, Aprll 18-The brave Forum team did defeat the team of the Quill and Dagger, in a goodly game of basket ball, in the gym, this fine afternoon. Emmy Sheets and Boni Petcoff did expertly referee the game. FRIDAY, May 16-The great Senior Prom was held at the Woman'S Building this evening. I did greatly enjoy the fine dancing, and did a turn with many of the beautiful young ladies of our excellent school, although I have learned to dance but lately. Home and to bed about 12:00, greatly pleased with myself and the fine affair. SATURDAY, June 7-Thru the town and to the great Senior Ban- quet, where I met many renowned men and women from our school. Did meet the President, Thurlow Wilder, who was surrounded by a merry group, and they were in a great Ht of laughter over some story he had told, but I could see no mirth in it soever. Did also see the renowned George Bruggemeier and his brave friend Paul Dipman, who were skillfully eating green peas with their knives. And so home and to bed. llllllllllll lllllllllll 12741 PURPLE AND, GOLD - WAITE HIGH SCHOOL- NINETEEN NINETEEN ElllllllllllIllllllllllllllllIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIlllllllIllllllllllllllllllllIIIIIIIIIlllllllllllllllIIIIIIllllllllllllllllllllllIIIIIIIHIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIE-Q The Uiorst Annual Ever Published E would have been the E E result of this qc-:ar's E E labors, had it not been E E Q for the liberalitq and E 5 qenerositq of our 5 -ADuEnT1sEns FE ,W 5 LZ.

This being the exclamation of Annual Board members in chorus. Now I wonder if they'll appreciate it, from one. Gee, wonder if they'll think of the work we did, piped Wolf. Well, answer for yourselves. You've read it, yes, conned over it, I'll bet. Now, what do you think of it? Although handicapped by unlooked for in- terruptions in school Work, we have worked earnestly and have spared no efforts to make Purple and Gold, 1919, a true memorial to the splendid days spent at Waite during the past year. The spirit and perseverance of the various members of the board has been ably matched by the wonderful spirit of co-operation shown by the student body. This co-operation is what counts-the moving force that makes a school. So it is up to YOU! With YOU lies the power of holding Waite where it is today in its rightful place as a foremost secondary school of the United States. Your appreciation of our humble efforts can best manifest itself by an added interest in the welfare of dear old Waite. -Waite High Annual Board illlllIIIIIIIIIIlIIIIllllIIIllllIIIllllIlllIlllllIIIIlllIIllllIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIlllllllllllllllllIIlllllllllllllllllllllllIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIlllllllllh 12831 hs' pf M7 ' X MWLZ4 ,254 PURPLE AND GOLD-WAITE HIGH SCHOOL-NINETEEN NINETEEN , I .
