Ful worthy was he in his lordes werre. And ther-to hadde he ridden fno man ferrej As wel in Cristendorn as in hethenesse, And ever honoured for his worthiness. ' And thogh that he was worthy, he was wys, And of.his port as meke as is a rnayde. He never yet no vileinye ne sayde In al his lyf, un-to no manner Wight. He was a verray parfit gentil knight. 5 But for to tellen yow of his array, ' His hors were gode, but he ne was nat I gay. 1 Of fustian he wereh a gipoun, Al bismotered with his habergeoung For he was late y-come from his viage. And wente for to doon his pilgrimage.

A king! Polly, some people hold that the soul but leaves one human tene- ment for another, and so lives on through all the ages.

The building is one of the most perfect examples of a classic Greek temple, to be found in America. In 1903, George W. Stevens, director of the institute, realized that the main work of an art museum is to benefit a community both in a cultural and an educational way. For this reason he encouraged guilds, clubs, and societies to further artistic interests in the city. From the very beginning Mr. Stevens said: We must make adults out of our children, and all his work was based on this theory. Each year a season of free educational activities begins at the museum in October, and continues until April. These include concerts for adults, story hours and motion pictures for children each Sunday afternoon, lecture recitals for students on Friday after- noon, an art history class followed by a lecture or concert each Thursday afternoon, and music hours and educational motion pictures on Saturday afteroon. There are classes for children in color design, drawing, composition, posters, home planning and lettering. The picture galleries hold most interest for visitors to the Museum. Such valued paintings as Moonlight, by Blacklock, The Woodchopperf' Homeward Bound, and Sheep of the Dunes, are pictures that give great delight to the interested visitor, while the Daily Bread and Self-Portrait are numbered among the famous museum treasures. The statuary housed in the museum is unuusually good. In the Egyptian room are treasures from tombs of Egyptian kings who lived and died many thousand yeas be- fore the time of, Christ. Glass, vases, and other expensive pottery are to be found in the museum, combining to form an impressive array of the finest of artistic material that is possible to be found. To give an entire list of the treasures of the museum would be impossible. It is, however, well to remind ourselves that we are indeed fortunate to have such a building and such a collection of art in our city, within the reach of all. A The statutary housed in the museum is unusually good. In the Egyptian room are the museum, combining to form an impressive array of the finest of artistic material that This museum was founded and maintained in a large measure by Mr. Edward D. Libbey, who made possible this institute by his generosity. Upon his death, he bequeathed almost his entire fortune, amounting to several millions of dollars, to the up-building and maintenance of the Museum of Art. lG'N9ql!'W-'W' 'Fl' 7 V 1 v 1 PURPLE AND GOLD R 1 W x F i MR.

Waite high school. 55 as KEY Sava. '29 ' , 22:1 , gears Azi lm 264 HE SHINGLED maid of the 1927 variety stands gazing out the win- dow. In her hands she holds a pair of field glasses. Oh, yes, she is supposed to be working on an experiment, but the air is discouraging- ly sultry, and then, school will soon be over for the year, her last year at Waite. How often she thinks about that! She raises the glasses to her eyes, and scans the distant view. Suddenly she grows tense. Into her field of vision come not tall buildings and a lazy river spanned by the familiar Cherry street bridge, but a multitude of eager children. They are dancing toward a castle-like structure on a hill. Oh, of course! It's Waite! Who can those happy youngsters be? She looks closely in the hope of recognizing them. Surely enough, there are little Dot Schreiber with her curls, spindling Paul Brentlinger, the indistinguishable Calkins twins, blonde-headed Betty Guss, orang-topped Alva Waltz, frisky Richard McGeorge, and many others who now are seniors. Why, thought the girl, it's the class of '27 when they were freshmen! And this is their first day of high school. What children they are! What do they know about organized high school life, arranging schedules, or finding proper class rooms? But they will learn. Day by day, in every way, they will grow smarter and smarter. They will prove their intelligence on that fatal day, when they surge up to the refectory for those dreaded intelligence tests, dreaded because they Will have a horror of showing their mental capacity to strange teachers. But then, the teachers have to know, so the sooner the misery is over, the better. The girl at the window allofws the hand holding the field glasses to drop list- lessly to her side, she sinks into a convenient chair, to think. She sees herself one of the group of youngsters. She remembers wistfully all the things that happened that freshman year. At the time, some of the things seemed tragic, now they are funny. my The first social event was the Freshman Mixer. We owe all the success of that day to our friends, the upperclassmen. Even though we were forced to wear blue and white identification cards on which our life history was written, we had a delightful time, fighting for the kisses that were thrown at us, perfectly harmless candy kisses. Representatives from the various societies of the school talked to us about the meaning and aims of school organizations and gave us an incentive for which to work. And then came grade cards, plus a Thanksgiving football game, and turkey. A few of us shed tears over the first, when a terrible red F appeared, all of us wept over the second, and so we spoiled, the taste of the third. Final exams came, when we burst our freshman B cocoon, and became hated freshmen A's. We began to count the days until we could call ourselves sophomores. The second semester of that first year fairly sped away. Before we knew it, spring was upon us, delightful, lazy spring. In vain did our teachers lure us to learning's fountain. We would rather have been swimming in the Maumee. At length, vacation did arrive, and we left old Waite, to return in the fall, as sophomores, but oh, what a difference! Our assurance was mighty, and 1-PURPLE AND GOLD-5 the proprietary gleam in our eyes might have led a stranger to suspect that we had laid the corner stone of Waite! In those days we thought a great deal of our- selves, too much, probably, but we have bravely outlived that stage of our develop- ment. A Still, there were things to be said in our favor. The wonderful Waite spirit, the seeds of which had been sown in our freshman year, now began to blossom forth, and we enthusiastically and whole-heartedly supported everything sponsored by our school. We showed them that the sophomores had lungs as lusty as their brains were good, when we helped cheer the Waite eleven on to famous victories. Then came further recognition. A good many of us were asked to join the various literary societies of the school. We accepted gratefully and humbly, always with the idea tucked away in our minds that maybe next year we could do a little high-hatting ourselves. As the year progressed, we acquired a certain degree of poise, and a greater facility in the handling of our appointed tasks. We began to show that we were material which could be moulded into a promising junior class. Before we were aware of it, that promise was fulfilled. We entered our junior year with the gravity we had not previously shown. For the first time we were to be allowed to have a tangible and concrete class organization, with officers we elected ourselves. As vindication of our maturing judgment, one has but to glance at the following names: Rolland Gladieux, Marian Rahmstock, Margaret lVIcClure, Edward Davis, and Luther Lalendorf. Our first real social venture was the J Hop. The Oriole orchestra, Japanese lanterns, and an oriental atmosphere all helped to make that occasion a brilliant one. In February of that year, we brought the Oberlin Glee Club to Waite. The concert was enjoyable not only because of the excellency of the program, but be- cause one of the members of the group was our own Jimmie Wickenden of the class of '24-. The concluding event scheduled for that year was generously invited all the other students in the school to ium as our guests. As a result of the venture, we spent came better acquainted with each other. We made use of of that semester, preparing for exams, and anxiously awaiting the day when the class of '26 should pass into history, and the senior crown should descend to us. And now on the horizon came the dawning of another school year. Not just any other, but our last. When we assembled in the fall, we found that we .had one of the largest classes to be graduated from Waite. I am sure we were forgiven, if we were a bit egotistical those first few weeks, for the dignity of our new position did not rest too easily upon our young shoulders. It is not the most trivial thing in the world, to live up to the responsibility of a senior, and to be held a shining example to under-classmates. We knew, however, that we could not do more than our best, and with that in mind, our first objective was the elec- tion of our class officers. The story is told, when you look at the roster of senior With organization effected, we began to take our rightful school events, scholastic, athletic, and social. not a mere whim of fate that on Thanksgiving day, our last a football game, as pupils of Waite, we should witness that victory of 40-0.

The Woman's Building was the rendezvous picked by merry old Saint Nicholas for his meeting with the seniors. The class gathered around tables decorated with Christmas greens, the gleaming lights of tall red candles falling on eager, expectant faces, for doesn't Santa always give one something when he invites one to a Christmas party? Surely enough, we received our senior rings, outward sign of our allegiance to Waite, and as the neat circlets adorned our fingers, even the fact that we had discovered that Santa Claus was onlypEd Young did not dampen our spirits at all. Dr. Stockdale, the speaker of the evening, talked with that sympathetic understanding which he has for the young. Mr. Pollock and Miss Brown wished us a Merry Christmas, and Alva Waltz, our president, spoke of Christmas customs of different countries. After that we danced to the music of Eddie Davis and his entertainers. What is a senior year without a class play? On March 25 and 26, the seniors presented Nothing but the Truth. The members of the cast took their parts with spirit and enthusiasm, and when the audience left it was with the con- viction that we had spoken nothing but the truth when we had said that the play was going to be as good a class play as one could wish. The Commodore Perry hotel was the scene for our next social event, the Senior Prom, on May 7. The hotel ballroom formed a brilliant setting for these few play hours together. The music never seemed more inviting. As we danced, we forgot for a time that menacing shadow of separation, which hovered over us. As the strains of the orchestra died away, we knew we could not easily forget the beauty and the pleasure of the occasion. And tonight we are gathering for our class banquet. As a class we shall pay homage to the queen of May, the Purple and Goldf' You have heard the poem, and the history of your class, and soon Ruth McGinnis will unfold your future in the class prophecy.

' . . , , 'i4 Tfr ' raised from a cub to a full-Hedged reporter, and that a reward of ii, ,N fi ' U N ' i - 'Jak' 51,000 was being offered for a scoop regarding the mysterious is appearance of Dorothy Schreiber. The business of unearthing Dorothy, the rumor ran, was to be accomplished in a week, a short time to round out so difficult a task, but Luther Lalendorf was an exacting editor, I'll say that for him. My head was in a whirl. I must win that SLOOO, but how? That was the question. I waited on Mr. Lalendorf, told him of my intention to find Dorothy and to accumulate information about my class, accepted his good wishes, and start- ed on my adventures. I jumped into a Sorenson taxi, the yellow peril of America, in which one rides at oneis own risk. Waite high school! I snapped at Chester Kaliski, the portly chauffeur, and we were enroute for the east side. We hadnit gone a block when we barely escaped knocking down Jean Best, who, as usual, just wouldn't hurry! As Sorenson's prize taxi careened crazily around corners, I wished de- voutly for some of the Calkins' life insurance which was advertised on a neat little placard in the cab. My hope of arriving at my destination, whole and sound of mind, fell further, as I read another sign just above the level of my eyes: We Bury You Right-Kerr's Undertaking Establishment. All I prayed for was that Florence and Lorin would never get a chance at me, for I knew that the two of them together could wreck the strongest constitution. On reaching ,Waite, I went at once to the library. Was there ever a time when Miss Brown hadn't heard some gossip? What do you know ? I asked. For reply she pushed a newspaper toward me, on the front page of which was the staring headline: Suicide Foiled by Eggleston's Suspenders. Richard Jackson Becomes Tired of Life. It seems that Dick, yielding to the popular craze, had decided that the world held little for him. No wonder! He had cranked his Overland for five consecutive hours, trying to induce Chet Martin's self-starter to start, and growing discouraged, had given up the struggle. Poor Dick had ascended to the attic stairs, had tied one end of a pair of Eggles- ton's Suspenders around his neck, and the other around a rafter, and jumping from a chair, had expected to swing in midair. But Mary's famous ability to stretch things became noticeable in the suspenders, and Dick landed safely on the Hoot. Police discovered that Howard Flegle had loaned the rope, and that the chair had been made in the factory of Fought and Foster, expert designers of furni- ture. The house in which the suicide had been attempted was constructed by Graves and Graves, contractors of quality, and the lawn surrounding the house had been that very day mowed by Orville Granger, landscape gardner. Be- yond these details, police could furnish no further information about the Jack- son person, and the case ,had been dropped. The detectives in charge of the investigation were Don Ewing and Chuck DuShane, noted for their uncanny ability to run down crimes. l o 9 .rev ty Iwo PURPLE AND GOLDaf Turning to the sporting page, I saw that Pete Pencoff and Spot Neubrecht had signed contracts with Babione and Kemp, motion picture producers. The boys were to appear in a football film entitled Smash and Carry. Pete was to provide the smash, and Spot was to carry the pigskin over the last white line. The supporting cast included such notables of filmdom as Grace Shively, VVilma Logan, Iris Starkey, Maurine La Londe, Mamie Szumigala, Estelle VVine, and John Holly. Certainly, I thought, the boys ought to be happy in a bunch like that. And who is the fellow in the uniform of the Yankees? Ed. Young, to be sure, called by sport writers, the greater Babe Ruth. His manager, Richard lVIcGeorge, phophesies big things for this second king of swat. Away dow-n in the corner of the page appeared a short article to the effect that Bill Thayer, the big butter and egg man, had discovered a way to make hens talk. When Bill was in school, we all understood that he objected to fowl language, and here he was actually encouraging it! It's a funny world, as Parnell Dumiller used to say, when he felt the giggles coming on. Hastily I leafed over the paper in search of familiar names. The society column announced that Frances Moon was sailing on the LAURENTIC for London, where she would assume her duties as a page in the House of Parliament, that Stella Kirby had undertaken the job of scrubbing the statues in Westminster abbey, and that Geraldine Morey would journey to Scotland, to locate the plow with which Burns turned up the field mouse. Glancing down the column on cur- rent fiction, I found that Genevieve Edstrom was engaged in writing the life story of Pete Preston. She chose Pete for a subject because, if you bribe him with a stick of gum, he will tell you anything! Such trash as one can find in a newspaper! There were testimonials scattered here and there, plentifully illustrated with photographs of old Waite friends. I smiled at the picture of Marvin Timm, who strongly recommended drinking Hilborn's famous buttermilkf Before drinking buttermilk, wrote Marvin, I was a wreck, and 'now look at me! Pictures donit lief' Kathryn Brinley and Bessie Holloway gave lengthy testimonials about Har- lan Brazeau's Footease powder. We used to drag ourselves around, they wrote feelingly. What a relief to have something else to do the dragging ! b 'Pep-'em'-up' is an ideal spring tonic, wrote Claude Tarbutton. Six weeks ago I didn't dare to knock George Suhrweier down, but today I did it! Then, too, LaVerne Drake and Harold Koepke told of what the Smith Company had done for them. Having applied to their faces the lotion prepared by Evelyn and Lillian Smith, the boys had grown such luxurious beards that they had resorted to Horvath and Crane's beauty parlor, to have them marcelled. Helen Robinson and Mildred Peart had made a good job of the marcelling, too. Not another word of interest could I find in that paper, and Miss Brown didn't know any gossip except that Marian Hansen, Bernice Pytel, and Grace Flegle baked the dog biscuits for the animals at Walbridge Park where Ted Lampton was keeper, so I left the school and walked toward Front street. At the corner I barely escaped falling into a sewer. I hadn't seen the little red flag warning, and should have come to grief if Ray Rodgers hadn't bobbed up at the surface just then. 953330 :eve ty three HIE--PURPLE AND GOLD-ci Lady,', he called, mind your step! And I minded it. Front street was lined with billboards which kept me entertained while I waited for a bus. Against a gorgeous green background, John Molnar was squeezing out on a tooth brush a long ribbon of Harger's dental cream, Inkan Kolbern, in a spotless morning dress, was operating Ford's dirtless vacuum cleaner, and, would you believe it? Ed. Davis, with a great, golden W across his chest, gazed down on the passing public, as a perfect example of the health that comes from eating McMurray's mellow yeast cakes. Dirk's,' business, like his yeast cakes, was rising steadily. Giddap! sounded a voice in my ear, and the tin horn of a rag man woke the echoes along the quiet street. As the wagon came opposite me, I recognized my old classmate, Dick Brown. On the seat beside him lounged Paul Brentlinger having a lovely joy ride and enjoying the scenery immensely. How's business? I asked. lVIy business is picking up, grinned Dick, as the boys drove merrily down the street. The billboards again claimed my attention, especially one which announced Burman and Brenner's circus, in town that very day. A girl in ballet costume, suspiciously like Alice Austin, walked a tight rope all across the face of the poster, and a human bean pole, Ed Kreeger, was scrubbing a giraffe's teeth with a prophylactic tooth brush, a product of the Co-unter and Fassler Drug Neces- sities company. Chuck Jarvis and Emil Tschirret, in clown's attire, cavorted joyfully in the corner of the billboard, while Lloyd Culbertson, the dog-eating man, was a prominent figure in the foreground. Seeing the advertisement, made me want to see the circus itself, and, board- ing a bus operated by Helen Krueger, I traveled direct to the circus lot. This wild ride was much like the one I had in-the taxi. Helen actually argued with street-cars, and won! At one of the prominent street intersections, a white- gloved policeman, lVIyron Hissong, was ordering a street cleaner, Buckie Glad- ieux, to move on. The one thing Buckie,' didn't want to do was to move, and that's how the trouble began. The circus grounds were thronged with people. After tripping over a tent peg which Ed Beese had just driven down, I made my way toward the side- shows, having successfully evaded Ruth Skelding and Frieda Wade selling red balloons, and narrowly escaping a collision with Roy Warnke, who was lead- ing a moth-eaten donkey to a water trough. A conspicuous person in a checkered suit and derby, was calling the shows. Right here, laddez and gems! Dale Bueschen was singing out. I'Right here for the most charming snake charmer on earth, Cleopatra the magnificientlv Cleopatra indeed! One peep at the lady convinced me that I was gazing on my old classmate, Pat Sullivan. But why the crowd around the next exhibit? Soon I discovered the reason. Katherine Devine, Rachel Cooper, Gladys Cotner, Elva Newcombe, Naomi Myers, and Irene Myers advertised as the Six Simpleton Sisters, were standing like so many wooden statues, for the pur- pose of showing a curious public their long, Howing locks. Hair, in billowy waves, hung down their backs, and the girls whispered to me secretly that Rahmstock's hair tonic was responsible for it all. And how do you like our new orange rouge? they asked. It's Lillian Samborn'sg you see it a mile. You've got to admit that. Gazing at their faces tinted like the rising sun, I was ready to admit any- thing. 'iQK'N .seventy four If-PURPLE AND GOLD We use Baymiller's cold cream, too, they giggledg Hand Hummel's nail polish, and NIcClure's bath salts. We believe in patronizing our class. I hated to leave the girls, but I found myself being pushed rudely along, and I had to keep moving. The rest of the side shows interested me, too. Nelson lVIoll dressed as the roughest of rough riders, was handing knives to Amy Hood who swallowed them one after another, only to pull them from her sleeve a moment later. Clarabelle Ellis, the human slat, was posing languidly on a pedes- tal, and Bernice Griffith juggled a dozen white mice, with ease and skill. But sideshows aren't the whole circus, so I proceeded further. I couldn't help stopping in front of a huge painting of a McNutt elephant, which covered one whole side of a tent. Gordon had obtained the beast on one of his trips to south Africa. The names of Bill Dwyer and Bill Gschwind, animal painters, appeared at the bottom of the canvas. Those boys are doing big things, I remarked, as I made my way through the crowd. I was getting news of my classmates, all right, but what had become of Dorothy Schreiber was still an unsolved mystery. I would continue to look for her, that seemed the only thing to do. Suddenly I felt hungry. Shoemaker hot dawgs! Shoemaker hot dawgs! bawled Maxine Hoke from her little white lunch cart, as I passed by. I would stop and have a delicious Shoemaker sandwich. VVhat do you know? I asked between bites. Say, she blurted out, have you seen Al Birch do the high dive into the glass tank? And you want to watch Helen Brown tie herself into a knot, too. She gets so awfully wound up, at times, that Elizabeth Semersky has to help untie herf' I must see that, I replied. And be sure to get gypsy Farran'to tell your fortune, she advised. Sheis good, and I betcha if you spend a dime on Jerome Fuller's wheels of chance, you'll get a prize, too, a box of Eggert candy, or some Geach gum drops. Having satisfied my appetite, I proceeded to the big top. At one side of the entrance the band was blaring away at the Deters Blues, composed after Wilma had failed to make an UA in physics. Milton LeRoy, the director, pawed the air wildly to compel Henry McNutt, Paul Robbins, and Valentine Thomson the moaning saxophonists, to keep better time. Such a racket! It was positively painful! Finding a seat in the big tent, I bought a bottle of Liebke's pop, from Juanita Harris, and settled down to read my program. Presently a cornet, tooted by Henry Kidd, announced the approach of the opening parade around the ring. In came the performers, all glitter and spangles. Erna Horst, seated on the back of a gigantic elephant, bobbed back and forth, as the beast sharnbled awkardly along. Glenna Halter, in a ballet costume, threw kisses at the spectators, while Gordon Fravor prodded the camel she was riding. Lawrence Eberle, as ring master, in a tall hat and long-tailed coat, walked mincingly over the sawdust, paying not the least attention to Elmer Eberlin, the giant-killer, who tramped by his side. And so the procession proceshed. I was preparing to enjoy the performance when I noticed a messenger boy eyeing the crowd curiously. Hey! Boy I I called out to John Cooper. Are you looking for me ? And would you believe it, he was! Tearing open the yellow envelope, I read: Am at hotel Adkins. See me at once. Have news of Dorothy. Signed, Ethel Alcock. Just my luck to have to leave a good show, but I climbed down from my seat, only to trip over Arnold Siewert, and fell full length in Zalia Haack's lap. ifwnjilewv seventy-five .seventy-.tix if-PURPLE AND GOLD Sorry, I breathed apologetically, and off I ran at top speed. Opposite Donovans and Denman's pharmacy, I waited for a car, but Thelma F auth came along in her sport roadster and gave me a lift. As we rode down town. Thelma chatted of this and that, while I listened, and kept my eyes open for famil- iar faces. Some of the names on the shops which we passed sounded like old times. On the window of a meat market was written, in white letters: Greene and Guss. We have scrambled brains. In Lois Berry's music store was displayed Mary Knierim's latest song hit: lVIy Vacuum Cleaning Mamma Gathers All the Dirt. Were you ever in'Ryan and Purcell's dry goods store? asked Thelma. No, I said. Why? Well, she continued, it's dry goods, all right. They don't even have a drinking fountain in the place. What a darling shop! I exclaimed, as we passed a window displaying a cage of tropical birds. Yes, volunteered Thelma, Donald Cooper has just returned from South America with a carload of canaries. He is going to sell all he can and make the rest into Canary wine. At the next corner a skyscraper was being constructed. A sign proclaimed that John Hartigan and Donald DeTray were the contractors. A truck operated by Hobart Brown was being dumped on the premises, while Walden Carlson, the foreman, was yelling directions and waving his arm like a semaphore. Elmer Annis, with a hod of mortar over his shoulder, plodded stolidly by. Farther down the street a militant suffragette was yelling herself hoarse. A crowd had gathered, on the edge of which I distinguished Irene Molnar, ,Wilma Slater, Edna Peden, Lucille Schuler, and Leah Salter, and Curtis Momany. A woman for the next president! the excited orator, Jo Motter, was shriek- ing, and the crowd clapped vigorously. Here's where I get off, I said to Thelma. Thanks for the--you know the rest, I called gayly, as I bade her goodbye. At the hotel door, pompously arrayed as a porter, stood Charles Campbell. He eyed me suspiciously, but allowed me to pass. Orrin Cross, the clerk at the desk, told me the number of Ethel's room, and Erma Herrick, the elevator girl, whizzed me to the proper floor. Oh, goodness! complained Ethel. Why didn't you come sooner. Dorothy has just left for Hicksburg. She was wearing a red dress, and a green hat with a purple feather, if that will help you any, she finished peevishly. Me for Hicksburg! was all I said, and I dashed to the street. Boarding a street car, I had another furious ride to the station. Why were Waite graduates such terrible drivers? Robert Campbell, the motorman, who had lost his job of operating a speedway, aimed to give his passengers a thrill, and believe me, he did! James Brinley, the conductor, seemed to be getting the biggest thrill of all. That boy was always in a hurry! Harry Daubner, Harold Baker, Kathryn Beau- fait and I crouched on a seat in the corner of the car, and breathed a prayer of thankfulness when we landed safely at the station. Train east for Hicksburg! from the musical throat of Ray Gladieux, sent me flying past William Francis at the gate, but Howard Bernhagen, Richard Draves, and Andy Vanyo beat me to it. They hadn't been track men for nothing! I knew some of the passengers in my car. There was Jeanette Caves, traveling for Breno's shimmery shoe polishg and Waded Corey, representative for Basil's horse linimentg and Richard Axel, the thumb tack kingg and Jimmy Scanes, who put portable toothpicks on the mapg and Laurel Campbell, famous for having add- ed another brand to an already famous list of soups. She called it Slosser soup, V -QJEEU 'I PURPLE AND GOLD-Q in honor of Margaret Slosser, noted opera star. And there was Herbert Bergman traveling for the Reichard Neversharp Scissors. In a seat by themselves were Lois Schmitz and Hermina Schmidt, well-known barbers, and, oh, what cut-ups! Phoebe Booth, Josephine Braatz, and Marjorie Houtz, all nurses from Koch hospital, were much engrossed in discussing the new germ theory, and had no time to talk to me. I believe they said that Louis Bless- man and William DeSana, eminent physicians, discovered it. When the conductor, Mary Taylor, came to take our tickets, I asked her whether she had noticed in any of the coaches a girl with a red dress and a green hat with a purple feather, but she hadn't, so I went in search of her, myself. Cer- tainly she wasn't on the train, I made sure of that. Hicksburg! called the brakeman. Violet Taylor, and I hurried to the door. On the platform I collided with Howard Vogel, mayor of Hicksburg, and Carl lNIanning, chief of police. Oh, hello, boys, I said. 'Tm looking for Dorothy Schreiber. Where do you suppose I'd be likely to Hnd her ? I'll tell you, replied the chief of police, there's a big doin's at Gross's hall, this afternoon, and Ifll bet Dorothy will be there right now. Frances Powell is being initiated as Grand Master of the Goofy Goofs, and the whole town will turn out. ,X i Halfway down Burnworth street was Gross's hall. Standing in a group on the steps were Esther Dauer, Wilma Herman, Evelyn Floyd, Emily Elias, and Grace Conrad, all looking doubtfully at the sky. Alexander Shears is the durndest weather man I ever saw, remarked Dolores Huber. Here he prophesied fair weather, and it's fixin' to rain any minute. I passed the group and entered the hall. Music and talking and noise every- where! I made my way down. the receiving line, shaking hands with Dale Stevens, of the Marcus Smith fox terrier kennelsg Fred Seeley, proprietor of Yore's Barber Collegeg Olive Crabb and Edith Knaggs, chairmen of the smoke nuisance com- mitteeg Dorothy Jackson, president of the Ladies, Aid Society 3. Oleva Edler, matron of the town jail, and other leading citizens. Left to myself, I looked about anxious- ly. Dorothy was nowhere to be seen, but in so great a crowd, I could not safely say she was not there. I would wait. Just then Paul Martin, master of cere- monies, guided me to a table laden with refreshments. A bevy of girls including Hazel Mock, Florence Pease, Margaret Page, Ruth Julius, Margaret Keller, and Helen Michael were serving the guests. What delicious saladli' I exclaimed to Ruth Roper at my elbow. Yes, she said. Emil Siegel made it. He's an expert chef, you knowf' 'KOf course, you're going to stay for the program, urged Ray Gillmer, the janitor. And I stayed. Such a program, too! Llarjorie Widmer and Muriel Waldvogel were acrobatic stars of the enter- tainmcnt. They stood on their heads, while Neva Pheils, Carmine Sayers, and Virginia Schwager played beautiful slow music on harmonicas, and Ethel Shatto puffed away on a comb. Next was a Grecian dance by the famous Bunkum Sisters. I placed them immediately as Ruth Moorhead, Mildred Majeska, Onema Sievert, Dora Smeltz, and Genevieve Beth. For this number, Dale Kettle played Victrola records which Dorothy Robinson handed to him from a music cabinet. Francis DeMoss and his female orchestra followed next, in a snappy fox-trot. Villa Mae Michaels performed at the pianog Lucille Soncrant beat the drum unmercifullyg Leona and Naomi Mae Myers tooted French hornsg and Francis strummed his banjo. Grace Steele varied the program with popular songs at intermissions. Have you heard, asked Hildegarde Link, about the Lynn and Lange ' QE? ICU U' EPURPLE AND GOLD-af T company? I bit properly. No, I said. What about them? Their business has gone to the wall, she laughed. But I foiled her. I presume they are paper-hangers, ' I said. And they were! Then Hildegarde stopped trying to be funny. Suppose you do tell me some gossip, I suggested. Hildegarde was all ready. 'KWell, she resumed, Robert VVatts and Mona Robson are in the holdup business, making clothespinsg and Grace Nicholas is matron at the Flick and Nierman home for blind goldfish. QNO catch in thatjg and yesterday Charles Wood fell out of a fifth story window of the Waldner building, and would have been killed if his Wilson-made overalls hadn't caught on a nail driven by Paul Woodruff. The strength of both saved him until Katherine Zillien could rescue him with a Jewett sliding ladder. 1 decided after that thrilling tale to listen to the entertainment, but I found that the concluding number had just been given, and that Donald Winters, Robert Sweeny, Vernell Sullins, Norman Sayen, John Popp, and Harold Pickard were pushing back the chairs, to clear the floor for dancing. The guests danced merrily until Violet Davis announced that Edith Giroux would demonstrate for the com- pany the Alva Waltz, which was quite the latest craze in the cafes of New York and Paris. And if I musty say it, that girl twirled a dizzy toe! After watching Edith, Louie Miller decided he could do it. He asked Dorothy Campey to be his partner, but their attempts came to a standstill, when Parkins' wax on the floor became gummy, and they couldn't slide. The situation inspired Frank Steinmetz, the town poet, to write a tragic ditty entitled, You've a big kick coming if your feet won't slide. Frank had been offered a steady job by the Teegardin News- paper Association, sydicating his Rippling Rhymes, but he and Robert Muntz and Fred Zilles preferred to become deck hands on a lake steamer instead. And now came the initiation ceremony of the Goofy Goofs. Ruth Harder ex- plained the aim of the organization, and a solemn hush descended on the company. At the most critical moment in Ruth's speech, the lights in the place went off. Keith Denniston, an electrician, investigated the cause of the trouble. Presently Leary Kohne pushed the lights on again, when we saw Iola Harder, Mona Kelley, Rose Gutting and Elsie Navarre all ready to be initiated, and with them stood the object of my search-Dorothy Schreiber. In my excitement I called out, Why, 'Dotf where on earth have you been G? And I should have rushed up to her, spoiling all the ceremony, if Don Gersman and Nlarietta Crandall had not held me back. Do you want to spoil the initiation 'F' Laurabell Gaide asked me. No, I said, I don'tg but I want 'Dot' Schreiber, and I refused to be quiet until Andrew Popp and Richard Bruggeman and Dan Crane promised to keep an eye on her. 'Dot' was worth 51,000 to me, and I didn't intend to lose her, or it, eitherf, The initiation was a sickening affair savoring of Allison's limburger cheese, lNIuirhead's Spanish onions, Kupesz's caster oil, and Fryman's fresh eggs, only not so fresh. William's wooden paddles were freely used on the candidates. When it was all over, I made my way to Dorothy. What did you disappear for ? I asked. Oh that was one of my initiation stunts, said Dot.

Now Frank Permar prints poems for Latin students, you know, and Charles lNIayo and Gertrude Skeldon are selling lots in the new Kaiser addition, just on the edge of townf' lVIay I sell you a Kelso automobile T' whispered Lois Shilling into my ear. And that wouldn't have been so bad if Leona Weaks hadnit tried to sell me a Benedict airplane. ' At that I fled with Dorothy Schreiber tucked under my arm. I wanted to get back to Punktown that very night, but Herbert Minke told me the last train had left an hour ago. Still, I wouldn't give up. Proceeding to Onnenga's garage, I made arrangements for a Moneghan rent-a-car, and off we started. Reaching Punktown, we went directly to the Cochran building where Luther's office was located. I was the first one in, but soon Leona Faust and Marcella Cedoz entered, hot on the trail of the already famous sco0p. I-Iere's the young lady herself, I said to Luther, proudly pushing Dorothy toward him, and here's the news of our class. SLOO0, pleaselu I tried to look unconcerned as I demanded the money, but Donald Lorenzen, Louise Bachmeyer, and Ada Schmidt, the office boys, peeping around the corner quite unnerved me. Luther calmly wrote me a check, and, taking leave of Dorothy, I went to my house in Carstensen's Heights, where I dined on Saba and Timar's fish food, and found rest on Misavage springs with a Youngs blanket over me, a Treuschel Oriental lamp at my shoulder, and Marie Stone's latest novel in my hand.

Four years we have been waiting for this occasion, when we should come to the beginning of the end, the beginning of a new era and the end of an old one. We are happy and we are sad. We are happy because we shall soon be honored by our Alma Materg we shall receive credentials from our school, and we shallgo out to the greatest fight in the world, the iight for life, service, and happi- ness. We are sad because we shall experience no longer the thrill of being a stu- dent at Waite. We shall not be able to serve our school as we have done in the past. But may I suggest this for your comfort--we can keep in touch with Waite by being loyal members of the alumni association. Shall we sever all connections with our teachers and our classmates, because of our graduation? No. Down in our hearts is that old Waite spirit, the fire, 'and the will to do for our Alma Mater. Q2-'G fire As we look back, we can see the first day we spent at Waite, the confusion and the discouragement of itg and we can recall how, little bylittle, we came to love the place. We can remember the first school party we attended. But the days haven't been all play for us. We have worked for what we have gained. We are reaping what we have sown. We have studied to strengthen our memories, to train our reason, and to cultivate our imagination. We should now ask our- selves whether this training has really made us more desirable than we could otherwise have been. This answer is, probably, that it has. Life will soon be for some of us a fight in the business world, while others of us will go to college better to prepare ourselves for what we plan to do. If we engage in business, let us show ourselves honest with others and with ourselves, de- pendable, and eager to learn. Our life education is not finished. It has only just begun. If we go to college let it be to obtain real preparation to meet life's problems. Along with preparation for the work we are to do in the world, we should have ability, fight, and resourcefulness. Some men can obey orders, some can get things done. As a prominent essayist once remarked, It is well to be obedient, it is better to be resourceful. When Alexander could not untie the gordian knot, he cut through it with his sword. A resourceful man is one who, when he cannot do a thing one way, does it another. He keeps trying. He never quits. When it is time for others to quit, he is just beginning. When he is beaten, he starts fighting again. The man who fails is the man who quits. Success in life, says an eminent man, is like trying to hit a mark with a stream of water from a hose. You must keep on trying until 'l6'N9:ii,QK:'?'W V PURPLE AND GOLD you finally hit lt- maybe, but you keep trying, just the samef' are three rules for success. The iirst is: Go on, never quit. The' Go on, never quitg and the third is: Go on, never quit. I am sure that keep these three rules in mind, we can't fail. There second is: if all of us VVhile question: UI-Iow much of my life have I really lived and how much of it have I merely passed ? If we really live, we have a motive, an aim. We know where we want to go. Did we really live yesterday, or was yesterday merely an interval between the past and the present? How often dare we say, Now I am living, today? Let us not think, I shall live tomorrow. Let us rather say, I am living today. Life is not always a tomorrow and a tomorrow, with now and then a dash of better yesterdays., A certain prefect, banished by Vespasian, left Rome to finish his days on his country estate. He said, I have passed sixty and ten years on earth, and have lived seven of them. we are speaking of life, might we not do well to ask ourselves the Are You Living? V In closing, I wish, on behalf of the class of '27, to thank Mr. Pollock and the teachers of Waite who have done all they could to make the class a success. They have advised us, directed us, and helped us to make the best use of our abilities, and we appreciate how much we owe to them. I am sure I voice your desires when I express to them our grateful thanks. To the teachers, and to you, my classmates, I say: God bless you, everyone. -A Iva Waltz. 1 eighty-one eighty-iwv PURPLE AND GOLD Winchester JUNIOR CLASS OFFICERS GENE WINCHESTER ...............................

freshmen usually do. But this class is of unusual caliber. Its members have taken a keen interest in the work of the school. Last fall they had a football team that lost only two games, and a championship basketball team, of which the whole school is proud. Some of the outstanding athletes are Apel and Lockert, who won W's, and Bickford and Winebrenner, who received A. W. A.'s. William Rufty, an outstanding basketball man, made the varsity. There were others who went out for athletics, and even though they did not make the grade this year, will help Waite next semester. 'Si .Qt ftfii M 'sa But athletics did not claim all the attention of this class. There are some who are deserving of honorable mention with regard to their scholastic standing. A few of these who have been most successful in this respect are Laura Robins, with 5' A'sg Catherine Pearce and William Fernaw, with 4 A's each, Mary Frances Alexander and Elinor Scott, with 3 A's and 2 B'sg Edmund Schleicher, Helen Fassler, Kathryn Miller, Betty Teegardin and Ruth Wache, with 3 A's and one B to their credit. As a class, the freshmen are workers, and have made an excellent start toward upholding the good name of the school. ,Freshmen girls Albrecht, Marjorie Alexander, Mary Frances Alford, Lavona Allen, Doris Althans, Minerva Arndt, Rhea Bacon, Hazel Bohnsen, Edith Bainter, Maryellen Bahn, Kathryn Bartha, Sophie Bassett, Louise Baymiller, Olive Beaudry, Helen Beech, Rowena Bigley, Laverta Bitz, Helen Blair, Myrtle Blank, Mildred Bonnough, Viola Boros, Viola Boyee, Evelyn Boyne, Luella Braatz, Bernice Bray, Lula Brewster, Lillian Bruggeman, Madeline L.

The association initiated many new ideas this year, one of which was a home- coming day. Many graduates in and out of the city made a special effort to be on hand for the game in the bowl that afternoon, and to dance in the gymnasium in the evening. Arrangements for the homecoming were in charge of Victor Bran- del, Hoyt Boden, Gaylord Bancroft, and Harold Meyers, who were chairmen of the various committees. At a meeting on lilarch 7, the association discussed plans for the alumni hop, which was held at the Woman's Building, April 1. Hoyt Boden was ap- pointed chairman of this committee. Assisting him were Victor Brandel, Harold Meyers, Phyllis Collins, Eva Strout, and Anabel Richardson. After the business of the evening was disposed of, a program was given, fol- lowed by dancing in the gymnasium, This meeting was attended by juniors and seniors who accepted the invitation of the alumni. The alumni association each year sponsors scholarships to the extent of 757s of its income. Last year these were awarded to Florence Boycheff, Burnap Cole and Helen Snover. The Virginia Boone Nauts scholarship was given to Dolly Daring. The affairs of the association, are prospering and the accomplishments are worthy of commendation. A I - wav one hundred N Z ' X .Ev-PURPLE, AND GOLD FI E RTS IN WAITE HIGH SCHOOL Ed. Note :-The Annual Board announces the continuance of the policy es- tablished last year, of devoting special space to one of Waite's courses and its activities. INCE the beginning of time, man has tried to express himself by means of pictures, music, writing and other methods. Gradually these means have become so beautiful in their conception, creation ' 4 is tru ,S and interpretation that we now have what we term the fine arts. .Ja 14914 Waite offers several of these arts in the regular curriculum of courses.1 There are studies in drawing, music, poetry, literature, and writing to be found in these courses. The drawing is taught in the fine arts classes, the music . in the orchestra, glee club, and band, and the poetry and literature in the Eng- , -I flish courses. The writing is taught in the journalism class. American literature - g-is also taught,,in a special course. To the artistic temperament, the building itself is a piece of art. The im- mense pile ofstone that we call our school is made of beautiful curves, arches, corridorsmand surroundings. In it we find pictures, books, and countless other artistic things that delight the eye and mind. We live amid surroundings that would have made many an old artist very happy, 'even as we are made happy at the thought of Waite andeour life in' its . great. halls.

There are classes in art ap- preciation that instruct the pupils as to the merits and faults of vari- ous types of work. Beginning with the simplest of designs, the students gradually increase in ability until, at the close of the year, many are quite expert with the brush and pencil. In the course, the students make posters, stencils, desigps, draw pieces of Ro- man and Greek statuary, make drawings of tapestries, nature, the building, their classmatesg in fact, almost everything. They not infrequently make trips to the Museum of Art, there to study and sketch the masterpieces hanging in that price- less collection of paintings and statues. All the art work in the Retina and the Purple arrdl Gold is done by the students in the classes. The imagination and appliance of this imagination can best be seen by glancing over the drawings in this book. In the classes in art appregiation, the students study many different types of art, making criticisms, sketching and drawing these pieces of painting, drawing and sculpture, and, in general, learning all that is possible about the great mas- ters and their masterpieces. A great amount of credit is due to Miss Kershner and Miss Carpenter for their workin this line. They keep the interest of the students at a high pitch, offer helpful suggestions to them and to outsiders asking advice as to the decora- tions on the next dance, help draw these decorations, give willing aid on publica- tions, and in many other ways help the school and scholars. i v6'mf.a-fpegfav fi one hundred thrre PURPLE AND GOLD Violins, 'cclloe.f, double bars ORCHESTRA fi NDER the' 'direction of Miss Werum, the orchestra has flourished and de- veloped into one of the finest that Waite has ever had. About fifty players make up the group, which plays with a finish that greatly reflects upon the Skin and ability of the conductor. 1 . The variety and number of the instruments composing the orchestra. are l 'X' ' large, but not large enough to satisfy the discriminating director, who wishes to place the orchestra in. the standing of a symphony. In another year, she states, the instrumentation will .be sufficiently varied to enable the orchestra to play these great works of the masters. It is her ambition to have seventy-five players in next year's orchestra. The greatest number of instruments, of course, is violins. When the layman thinks of the technic required to play this difficult instrument, he marvels that such a large group of violinists can be assembled. Playing as one person, they follow the will of the conductor in a manner that is indeed commendable. These instruments are the Sopranos of the entire group, an.d their tone is more like that of the human voice than any other, with the possible exception of the highest string of the 'cello. The violin has an enviable historyg beginning with the one-stringed instruments of the semi-barbarians, on through the multiple-stringed viols of the dark ages, reaching perfection in the hands of thatmaster of master violin-makers, Stradavarius, to the present day, the history of this beautiful-toned implement is one that is fully as romantic and interesting as that of battles and warriors of old. The larger brother ,of the violin, the icello, is one that has a rich, deep tone. Its highest string is tuned to the A immediately below middle C, and, from this string, the three others descend in fifths, forming the A, D, G, and C strings. Between these two instruments, that is, in pitch, is the more modern viola. This is a little larger than the violin, being played like one. It is pitched an octave higher than the ,cello. Its tone is tenor, and thus is intermediate in size and range between the violin, or soprano, and the 'cello, or baritone. Some of the most beautiful compositions ever written are for these three instruments, in a combination called the String Quartettef' made up of two violins, a viola, and a 'cello. This type of soft, delightful music is called Chamber Music. 1 The largest member of the string family is the bass viol. This instrument is one de- voted more to the percussion group of the orchestra, that is, the section that brings out ufifgsyggyinu one hundred four PURPLE AND GOLD clarinets, barsoon, oboe, and flute. the rhythm of a number, than the others of the string section. At times, however, it carries a solo part. In a symphonic arrangement, the orchestra is spread out in a fan-like group, with the conductor in the front center. All the violins are generally put on the left of the director, as he faces the group. On the violin's right, from the director's stand, are located the violas. To the extreme right, on the edge of the orchestra, the 'celloes are put. The bass viols are generally put to the right rear, but some conductors prefer to have them on the left rear, behind the violins. To the right of the violas, and to the left of the 'celloes, in the front, immediately be- fore the director, are the wood-winds. In a complete orchestra, these include the piccolo, flutes, clarinets, oboes, bassoons, and contra-bassoons. Waite's orchestra has the flute, clar- inets, oboe, and bassoon. Behind these are the brass winds, or, cornets, French horns, trombones, tubas, and baritones. Waite's orchestra lacks a tuba and French horn. Behind these, farthest from the audience, are located the percussion instruments. These are the tympani, or kettle-drums, traps, bells, and all the other instruments that the audience hears in the course of a concert. The wood-winds have mouthpieces in which reeds are located, giving the instru- ments a liquid, melodious tone. The most highly pitched of these, with the exception of the piccolo, is the flute, this instrument has, possibly, the most liquid tone of any of this group. Everyone is familiar with its bell-like, whistling tone. The clarinet, a bell-mouthed instrument, is also well-known. Its pitch and voice is quite different than those of the flute. The pastoral music of this 'implement is highly pleasing to the ear. The oboe is, in shape and size, much like the clarinet, but its tone is very different. Its pipe-like curved stem mouthpiece contains two reeds, while that of a clarinet has but one. Because of this difference, the oboe's music has a more melan- choly, oriental tone. Its sound reminds one of pastoral scenes seen in pictures, and of the mysterious Indian snake charmers. The bassoon, as its name implies, is the bass of the reed family. Only the contra- bassoon is pitched lower that this instrument of deep, rich tones. The brass section of the orchestra contains many instruments that are used in the make-up of a band. I 'Zi' one hundred five Q- PURPLE AND. OLD I, tympani, piano, corners, trombanex, baritone and traps. The cornet is the highest pitched of all the brass, and everybody is familiar with its bugle-like tone. The trombone is one of the most powerful of instruments in an or- chestrag its use is best shown in Wagoner's overature to Tannhauser. The baritone is, as the name states, one of the lower-pitched horns, that is used almost exclusively for percussion purposes. In the percussion group, we find the piano, although, in a complete symphony orchestra, a celesta is used instead of this instrument, and the drums. To the incognoscenti, the kettle-drums are a source of much wonder. These instru- ments are possibly the hardest of all to play, especially in a fast movement of a sym- phony, for their pitch must be changed without being heard over the music of the rest of the orchestra. Often the tone is varied a great deal in an incredibly short time, and woe unto the tympanist who bursts into the score with the wrong tone! The traps, bells, and other percussion instruments round out the orchestra's rhythm section. It is a source of much wonder to the audience how these players can go back and forth between their instruments, and come in with a suitable clap of thunder or the ring- ing of a bell at exactly the right moment. If the person would only watch the conductor, all these questions would be answer- ed, for this vastly important personage tells the players when, what, how and where to play, setting the tempo, instructing for effect, cresccndo, and countless other things, form- ing all the separate units into one immense instrument which he plays. Waite is indeed fortunate in having such a capable director as Miss Werum, whose experience with orchestra players, especially those of high school age, helps her to great advantage. The orchestra always accompanies the glee club in its presentations, and has always given a good account of itself at these and other public appearances. It has played at the Museum of Art and over the radio several times in the part year, besides giving a concert at the school auditorium. It played for the school a number of times, but its most triumphant appearance was at the May Festival, where it gave an excellent ren- dition of several works, besides playing the difficult orchestral score to Bizetls Carmen We are indeed fortunate in having such a group of players in our midst. one hundred six PURPLE AND GOLD I 1 1 I Buehrer, Steele, McGinm.r, Stutzman GLEE CLUB l ir- HIS YEAR the Glee Club was fortunate in having a wealth of good sing- l 'fa,'77' 1' ' v W1 gui-aj' ers, a splendid chorus, and ga fine orchestra to accompany them. gjf One of the most ambitious programs of any year was mapped out and 'fig'f0JQ9ZeH presented.

' On April l the club presented The Prince of Pilsenf' the first royalty opera ever to be given in a Toledo high school.

Rolland Buehrer made a I splendid Prince, singing especially well in the Heidelberg Stein Song. Grace Steele and Margaret Slosser vied for honors in the feminine leads. The chorus, which had a large part in the presentation, with the rest of the cast, sang very well. The support of the orchestra was exceptional. 1 In the May Festival, the club, with the others in the high schools of the city, and with the aid of the orchestras, presented Carmen, that masterpiece of Bizet. Under the direction of Mr. Ball, the immense ensemble filled the Coliseum with the glorious 1 strains of the glorious opera. The club has had one of the most successful years of any Waite organization, and has set a standard that others can well follow. one hundred :even PURPLE AND GOLD baritoner, tuba, tromboner, and drum: AN Was:-ery-vga FEXV years ago, Mr. Sutphen and ai small group of boys started a band. 15555, It grew in srge and importance until now it has assumed a place along side the other musical organizations of the school. ig It used to play only at the football games, but it has become a more and F7 more popular group, until now it plays not only on the gridiron, but at mass meetings, gives a concert each year, and plays at the May Festival. This year all its appearances were marked with great success, receiving an ovation at all of its presentations. The programs were augmented by the rendition of classics, semi-classics and popu- lar numbers, with the strirring marches that one naturally couples with the mention of a band. Mr. Sutphen has organized a well-balanced group. The band is made up of wood- wind, brass-reeds, brass, and percussion instruments. The wood-reeds hold the same relations to a band that the violins do to an orchestra, that is, soprano parts are carried by these, in the most part. Almost all of the wood-wind section is made up of clarinets. In the brass-reed, we find that the saxophones hold the prominent position. Everyone is familiar with this instrument, as it is the backbone of the modern dance orchestra. The saxophone, contrary to some persons' expectations, is not newly invented, but is rather an old instrument. That is, old in years, but not old, as instruments are thought of. It was the deliberate invention of one man, and did not develop as the other instruments did, from a crude mono-tonal horn, through various stages to the present sax. Few composers have used it in symphonies, for, as more than one has expressed it, it is too mournful. 06'w'f'Q5-'S' nne hundred eight gg'-PURPLE AND GOLD-is .fasaphones and clannelx In the brass section, the cornet is the instrument that has the numerical strength. Others in this group are the trombone, tuba, baritone, and french horn. The french horn has a mellow, bell-like tone, many composers were fond of using this instrument in their orchestrations. Mendelsshon's Nocturno from the Midsummer Night's Dreams is one of the best known french horn solos ever written. The drums are, of course, well known, both the booming base drum and the rolling snare drums. The repertoire of the Waite band was extensive, including many numbers, such as marches, overtures, classics, and popular numbers. One of the best liked of the over- tures is von Suppe's Poet and Peasant. 1 Band music is beginning to have added interest from the musical public. Many directors are leaving the old idea that a band is to play marches and marches only. They are now playing symphonies, and other classics that formerly were regarded as the sole possessions of a large orchestra. The effect of the music is not lost. In fact, much is gained by this change. A band can temper .down its tone volume to that of an orchestra. but its crescendoes are so much more vivacious, clear and loud that an orchestra of large proportions would be necessary to equal a medium-sized band. It is to be hoped that the Waite band could increase in instrumentation to such an extent that these numbers might be attempted. Leaving a record that succeeding bands may attempt to surpass, the band has had xx most successful year. ,f-x., -.az . -if . WWW one hundred func ' 1 PURPLE AND GOLD 1 -,-f . I Q 1 , L PUBLICATIONS :gi 'fr-31 HE RETINA is distributed six times a year to the student body of Waite. Few realize the great amount of work that is necessary for the , Qlfj' fic' publishing of the magazine or of the year book that you now hold in your hand. Ep, The process of making up the RETINA is complication itself to one of the uninitiated. An article is written by a member of the staff, and hand- ed to Mrs. Allen, the faculty advisor, who promptly applies the traditional red pencil, cutting out unnecessary words and phrases. The red-covered manuscript is handed back to the culprit, who copies it, and returns it a second time. As the year advances and the writing ability of the person increases, the red lines decrease in num- ber, until, finally, the enterprising author might be so fortunate as to have an article printed from which nothing has been cut out. ' The manuscript is then typed and laid away with the other articles that are to go into the book. About two weeks before the magazine is to be distributed, all the ma- terial is sent to the printer, where it is sent through the linotype, a machine used for making up of printing forms. Two proofs of this type-face are then sent back to the school, one of which is corrected by the proof-readers. 1221522 ' 1. Liu- The other is taken by the editor and his associate, who are to make up the book. The pages of galley proof'are numbered at the top by the printer, and these numbers are written over each paragraph of written material by the editors. The articles are cut and pasted into a dummy, or blank magazine, in such a manner that the printed length would fit the size of the page. This, with the other proof, is returned to the printer, who sets up the type in accordance with the dummy, and runs off what is now called a page proof. ' This is taken to the school, where' further corrections are'made. When this is com- pleted, the book is printed, bound, and sent to Waite, where about l,lw copies are dis- tributed among students. The PURPLE AND GOLD is made up a bit differently. There is no galley proof, as all the articles are cut to the correct size before it is taken to the printer. This is a task in itself, as the number of words must be figured almost exactly, as well as the size of the cuts. The taking of pictures, mounting, cutting, mailing, and engraving of hundreds of cuts that go into the volume is quite a large amount of work. The art work of both books is done by the art classes, under the supervision of lvliss Kerschner and Miss Carpenter. The literary work is done by Mrs. Allen, and the financial by Mr. Nauts. It is impossible to give due credit to these faculty members and to the members of the staffs of the two volumes. one hundred ten PURPLE AND GOLD THE LIBRARY N AVERAGE of fifty'students use the library every hour of the school xigffgir day. Upon entering this Mecca of knowledge-seekers, one sees a capacious room lined by shelves of books and magazines. fflwz--'Wil Over 5,500 volumes form one of the finest libraries to be found in any Q school in our state. Miss Brown, the cheerful and kindly sovereign of this 2'---XQR land of learning, has classified all these books by use of the Dewey-Desman system. Every book in the room has been placed under one of ten classes-general subjects, philosophy, religion, philology, natural science, useful arts, fine arts, and literature. By means of a system of numbering and the Congressional type of library cards, any book can easily be found in a few moments. There are fiction books, except the classics, as the library is totally devoted to refer- ence. Four complete sets of encyclopediae, the World Almanac, Who's Who, and a set of books for reference on debating subjects that is the only one of its kind in Toledo, rest side by side with dozens of histories, biographies, travel books, volumes on science, arts, religion, and the old classics, while twenty-five to thirty periodicals find an abiding place on the tables. Each of the four literary societies pays for the upkeep of one of the magazines throughout the year. Twelve library assistants, students in the English courses, take charge of mislaid books, check attendance, find volumes for the pupils, and make themselves generally useful.

On the opening night, the combined bands of the schools played in one of the most enjoyable of band concerts ever given by a high school band. The en- tire ensemble played several numbers, and then the separate groups gave a few selections. The next night, the combined orchestras of the high schools presented their part of the program. As in the case of the band, the entire ensemble played a few numbers, then each separate orchestra played. Miss Werum's High School Symphony then rendered a few selections. A quadruple string quartette played a number that was well received. On the following evening the opera Carmen, by Georges Bizet was presented by the combined glee clubs and orchestras. The glee clubs were arranged in choral fashion, that is, tier upon tier of singers, rising back from the director, Mr. Ball. Overhead was a stage upon which the opera was enacted in pantomime, in ac- cordance with the music. H The clubs sang the difficult score exceedingly well, and the orchestras gave a good account of themselves. The entire Festival was presented with finish and skill. The story of Carmen is one of tragedy, filled with music that is world- known for its beauty. Some of the best known of operatic airs are found in this work, the best being, probably, the Toreador Song. This year the Festival was one of brilliance, and beauty, showing what a high school group is capable of doing. 2?-'3Z'L.'

S ergeunt-at-A rms Probably the most important organization at Waite is the student council. This group is composed of the presidents and secretaries of every society of first rank in the school. This year the work of the student council was especially conspicuous. Two of its most important projects were the Purple and Gold campaign, which brought out ten rules pertaining to conduct, proposed by the students in the various as- sembly rooms, and the other was the student manual. Through the work of a committee, a handbook was printed and distributed to the pupils of the school. The council, in reflecting the opinion of the students, is the leader among' school societies.

It has taken a lively interest in both literary and social ac- tivities and has come through with flying colors. The meetings were supplemented by faculty talks, discussions, and debates. And who ever heard of the Q. D.'s adjourning without singing the society song? In the annual football clash with the Forum, the score was tied, but when it came to bowling there was no competition for the Q. D.'s. On the evening of January 27, a party for members was held at the Toledo Yacht club. It was chaperoned by the advisers. During the course of the evening refreshments were served, and when the last dance was over, every one felt that they had taken part in one of the outstanding social events of the year. Then came the Q. D.-Forum vaudeville, which was everything that could be desired, financially, and judging from the applause, it di.dn't fall short as entertainment, either. The spring dance was the Quill and Dagger contribution to the social festivities of the school. The decorations and programs showed the good taste of the committee in charge. A fitting climax to the year's activities was the society banquet, at which many old as well as new members were present. Through the cooperation of the officers and members, the Q. D.'s experienced a suc- cessful year. Evanojf Summers Vobbe Winters Blersmun Kidd DeMo:.s Valzquettc Price Fleglc Buehrer Goorley V 06'hL9 QJA?

The members have also had the pleasure of attending joint meetings, theatre parties, teas and debates. The members the Zets. The society has existed for twenty-four years without a society song, but the lively of 1927 decided that a song was necessary, and composed one appropriate for seniors must leave their friends and good times, but they know that the en- thusiastic group which is left behind will carry on the good work of the society.

One had just finished reading a letter, when the other looked up to ask, A letter from the girl friend? ' No, from the young brother, a junior at Waite. He has just been initiated into the Forum Literary Society. I was a Forum member, myself, and I like to hear all about the fellows. In my senior year, Bill Francis, our President, put plenty of go into the fellows. Our first affair was an initiation at Catawba Cliffs, along the wind-swept shore of lake Erie. How we did ruin those pledges! It all sounds good, said the listener. What else did you do ? i'We met the Q. D.'s in football, one December day, and battled to a scoreless tie. During the year we defeated some of the other school societies in debates. Talks by members of the faculty and of the club, were features on our programs. We presented our dance on February 26. Decorations transformed the school gymnasium into an oriental ballroom. Lew Waterman's orchestra was exceptionally good that night. A dinner dance was enjoyed in the spring, concluding the social events. The spring initiation, finished off a year of activity, sent the pledges into the work of the next year with vim, and a strong determination to carry on the work of thc members who were graduating. Just then the lightshout signal rang, and the speaker stopped. No, he con- cluded I don't think I shall soon forget that last year.

Buns, hot dogs, and pickles rapidly disappeared during the course of the evening, and who dares say she did not have a good time? This year it was decided to entertain prospective members with a series of teas. These were held in the gymnasium, and were a great help in enabling the girls of the school to become better acquainted. Shortly after Thanksgiving, a group of eager girls waited in Mrs. Allen's room for the jaunty sweaters which were their 1927 group insignia. During the Christmas holidays a theater party and spread was given for mem- bers and alumni. As usual, the Pericleans kept up the standard they have always-had in their pro- grams. Many intcresting talks and papers were given during the year. The debating team deserves favorable mention for its work against the Forum and the Q. D. literary societies. But the biggest social sponsored by the society was the Story Book Ball, given March 19. The decorations were novel, and little Boy Blue was there in person. Rolland Ward's Campus Bards furnished the music. Under the guiding hand of Dorothy Schrieber, our president, the year was entirely satisfactory.

The Bible lessons by Miss Goodall. told in connection with the world's most famous paintings left a lasting impression on each of the girls. Some of the most outstanding meetings of the years were the world fellowship tea, with Mrs. Judge Gosline speaking, the fair play meeting, where we delved into the mysteries of football, with Coach Z.orn, and the follow-up meeting after Sher- wood Eddyis talk, led by Miss Louise Gates of the Y. W. C. A. Every one enjoys the social times-splash parties at the Y, teas, spreads, banquets with the other high school clubs, and with our mothers, parties with the Hi-Y, and most of all, camp. In the midst of activities, our social service work was not neglected. Twenty- ifive dollars was given to the world fellowship fund, the work of the Federation of Charities was assisted at Christmas time, and each Friendship girl was a big sister to an orphan in the sixth grade of the Miami childrenls home. The friendship un- dertakes a big program every year, and pushes it through to a successful completion. one hundred twenty five ?lf'PURPLE AND GOLD 1 ..

The group was especially fortunate in having good speakers. Mr. L. E. McLaughlin, the International Y.M.C.A. secretary to China, and Mr. Sherwood Eddy, noted' inter- national speaker, were some of the outstanding speakers. Probably the biggest feature of the entire year was the numerous church services held in the city on Sunday evenings, in conjunction with the young peoples' societies. Due to the work of the Waite club, Hi-Y clubs were organized in the nearby towns of Leipsic, Perrysburg, Genoa, and Fremont. A goodly number of Waite fellows attended the Older Boys Conference at Lima im- mediately after Thanksgiving. The annual Mothers-and-Sons banquet which was held in the Waite refectory, April 28, brought the boys and their mothers to a better ap-preciation of each other. The vocational guidance campaign went over in great style after -the inspiring talk of the Rev. Stephen K. Mahon. The Waite S'enior Hi-Y, under the leadership of Holland Gladieux, had the best year in its experience. The school, the church, and the community benefited by its activities. uc e1 one hundred twenty-six PURPLE AND GOLD-pq - i P lop Row:-Siegel, Slater.

This is accom- plished by the well-arranged programs which include plays, stories, games, and interesting talks given by members of the faculty who have traveled abroad. Varie- ty is obtained by spreads in the homes of the members. The success of the club this year has been due to the enthusiasm and coopera- tion of the French students and the efforts of the advisers, Miss Griffith and Miss Koch. It is our firm belief that groups such as the French club, if they were or- ganized for every language, would help promote international peace, as it is im- possible to feel warlike toward a country when one is thoroughly in sympathy with its people. -9 1 wnwa'!e.:f:'m W' one hundred twenty-czght U PURPLE AND GOLD First Row:-Bergman, Rohlfing, Canfield, Klag, Gnhroind, Manning, Brinley, Kali.rki, Molnar.

The Commercial club, an organization whose work corresponds to its name, has con- ducted its activities this year under the able leadership of its committees and officers. That it has attained success in its aims is evident. The membership is larger this year than at any previous time, and will continue to grow. . . The meetings during the year have been both entertaining and educational, consisting, for the main part, of talks on commercial affairs, with humorous sketches interwoven to add enjoyment. The initiation, in charge of Genevieve Beth, Florentine Nierman, Wilma Sla- ter, and Lucy Squeo, brought both pleasure and thrills. To awaken the interest of the students, and to broaden relations among the members of the club, the organization spon- sored one of the afternoon dances given in the gymnasium. Many thanks are due the faculty advisers, Miss Hogan, Miss Foote, Miss Fenneberg, Miss Commager, Mr. Jaeger, Mr. Bricker, Mr. Fankhauser, Mr. Severance, and Mr. Pearsall for the plans and suggestions they have made to help the club in its way. r 0??i9 QlQ'50 one hundred thzrty Taylor, Emrh, Davis, Fnnkhauser, Severance, McElroy, Kecfer, Pytel, Baker.

Aedzle l li ll Y OPTIMATES ,, , A year ago last February, a group of sophomore Latin students conceived the idea of 3 a Latin club. A meeting, a constitution, and a program started things out in good style. 5 The club christened itself the O timates, and elected Kathryn Emch and Robert Price y P g consuls. 1 Since then the organization has met a number of times. Many good programs under 1 the direction of the censor, Dorothy Doan, have followed the business part of the meet- ' ings. These programs which have dealt with old Roman life, have been very instructive. Pins for the club have been ordered, and may now be seen decorating sweaters or coats , on well-known students in the school. But the club has not confined its activities wholly to education. When Ben Hur flickered on the auditorium cinema sheet, the members of the Optimates saved their shekels and visited the movie in a body. Late in February a spread was held at the home of Kathryn Emch, where everyone had an enjoyable time. At the end of the first year, the Optimates are on their feet and going strong. The society expects to make its influence felt more and more in the school.

Sergeant-at-Arms ENGINEERING SOCIETY The rise of the Engineering society to the rank of the literary organizations in the school has been an achievement indeed. The things which the Engineers accomplished for the year '26 and '27 have been noteworthy. Visiting the city Waterworks, the Toledo Ship- building Co., and other plants of engineering interested the members, and gave them a better idea of the work and qualifications of an engineer. Lectures by prominent local engineers, among whom were Mr. A. H. Smith, City engineer, and Mr. Scwabe of the Ford Plate Glass Co., provided an insight into the trials and experiences of an engineer. At the famous initiation ceremonies of the Engineers, the fellows had a whacking good time. The pledges were taught the hardships of bridge-building, tunneling and hy- draulic engineering, more or less to their discomfort. Winding up the year with a contest to decide the best example of engineering work done by students in the Toledo high schools, and with the annual visit to the grade schools, the Engineers have finished by far the best year in their history. ane hundred thzrty three PURPLE AND GOLD Top Row:-Stern, Whitacre, Gatzke, Burrnan, Kornfumlvf, Whalen, Dunean, Sieveft Consaul, Chapman Center Row:-Guy, Stamer, Farrix, Glasco, Hartxell, Gorden, Nielzolx, Moon, Wells, Leyborn Bottom Row:-Stevem, Bloomer, Steiert, Skilliter, Garbe, Zilliek, Butler, Gaide, Rodgers jUNIOR FRIENDSHIP CLUB OFFICERS MILDRED GARBE ..,,........,....,.....,........, President JANE ZILLICK ...............................

On October 6, a party was given to welcome the new members. The most important event of the year was a joint Christmas party with the Hi-Y Club. At Christmas time the girls took gifts and toys to the children at Miami Home. The club also donated twenty dollars for the World Fellowship fund. The annual banquet of the group was held on January 28, at the Y. W. C. A. with the Friendship girls of the other high schools.

They belong to the Retina class, and their duty is to publish six best-ever Retinas a year. These students, under the direction of Mrs. Alice Allen, strive to get all the school events into print, both by writing, themselves, and by soliciting aid from the various English classes. The more people writing for the 'Retina' the better, is what members of the Retina class say. , Miss Helen Kershner, and her students, who so ably handle the art work for the magazine, furnish the cuts that make the book attractive. Mr. Merritt Nauts, assisted by the business staff, take care of the financial affairs of the book. It is easy to imagine that it takes the combined thought and effort of many people to publish the school maga- zine.

HOME ROOM REPRESENTATIVES For the past two years a student from each home room has been assigned to be home room representative. p His work is to gather subscriptions for both the Retina and the Purple and Gold, to receive payments on publications, and to distribute the various numbers of the Retina, as they appear. By this method the teachers are relieved of responsibility for publications, and students are accommodated in every possible way. The home room representatives have demon- strated their usefulness, and have been a real help to the publication board. a P one hundred thzrty-eight , PURPLE AND GOLD-.gg Top Row:-Campbell, Vaegeli, Mauter, Grfhwind, Reuthinger, Sorensen, Birch, Kaliski.

The members are willing workers and good results are obtained. This was -L especially proved in the two presentations staged by the Waite chorus in the past year. The Belle of Barcelona with its lilting music, its comedy, its romanticism, its unique costuming was presented to a packed house. The operetta, which was well received by the patrons of the school, set a new standard in glee club offerings. On April l, the first royalty opera ever given by a Toledo high school, the Prince of Pilsen, was presented in the auditorium. This comedy was even better received than its predecessor, the difficult music being well handled by the choruses. Carmen, done by the four high schools at the May festival, received the hearty cooperation of the Waite club, which again demonstrated its ability at the baccalaureate sermon. Mr. Ball, who works unceasingly and untiringly that glee club productions may be finished performances, is to be commended for the results he obtains.

Librarians I ORCHESTRA ' The Waite orchestra, composed of fifty-five members, has had one of the best years in its history. Early in the fall, practice began for the concert which was given in the school auditorium in December. The program showed the result of the careful training of the members of the organization under the direction of Miss Bessie Werum. During the winter, the orchestra broadcasted from station WTAL, and played a Sunday afternoon program at the Museum of Art. I As a fitting close to the year, all the high school orchestras and glee clubs united in l giving a May Festival. The opera' Carmen, which was presented at the festival by the combined high school glee clubs, was ably accompanied by selected players from each high school orchestra. Orchestra day was observed at Waite in April, to enable all the students of the I school to hear what Waite musicians are capable of doing. 5 one hundred forty-one Q-PURPLE AND GOLD I r 1 . i , BAND l OFFICERS BRUCE ECKART ........................ - .........

M. on Thanksgiving day, the Waite Band marched into Siebert stadium, resplendent in their new uniforms of purple and gold and white. Led by drum major who performed marvelous gyrations with. his baton, the band , gave Waite students something to be proud of. Under the capable direction of Mr. Sutphen, the band started the year by lending an atmosphere of battle to all the football games in the bowl. More than that, the toot- tooters even journeyed to far-off Hamilton, in the motor busses and blared the team to victory. The second semester's work was exceptionally interesting by reason of the systematic study Of the classics, their similarities and dissimilarities to modern music. Besides the usual informal concerts, the annual concert was given on April 6, in the school auditorium. The May Festival marked the climax of the year. At this time the band played selections from Wagner's Lohengrin, the music being an exact reproduction of the original score. Any cynic who claims that high school students are jazz crazy has his theories upset by the activities of the Waite Band. A mighty good musical organization, is the way we , would describe it. l U 471' one hundred forty-two Ugfffqff This theme from Sehubertlv Unfinished .Symphony recalls memories of our school year'5 ye lx N I, wx ACTIVITIES a if-PURPLE AND GOLD CALENDAR SEPT. e 13.

Flower vendors offered nosegays to the patrons at sidewalk tables. The mellow sunlight seerned to bathe everyone in happiness, except, perhaps, a diminutive young girl, an American, who was charming enough to cause many people to glance toward her table. Betty Thompson was plainly bore.d. I-Ier parents had taken her to Europe to improve her health shortly after Betty's graduation from Waite. For some time the family had traveled about the Old World. Now Betty, vivacious and healthy again, was anxious to return to America. Another month's stay seemed unbearable. She had been forced to lose contact with her high school friends, and she longed, sometimes, for the wonderful school days. G1-ADIEUX These smiling Freshmen with their Oni, oui made- moiselle,' bore me, she mused. I'd give anything if only I could see the 'old gang' again! Betty's day dreams began to weave themselves in her mind. She recalled a tall, dark-haired lad, Jack Murray, whose friendship she had so much enjoyed. Through traveling about, she had lost track of him. Had he forgotten her, she wondered. Perhaps so. While Betty was lost in her musings, a young American boy sauntered by, whistling gaily. In vain he looked at the crowded tables, hoping to see a familiar face. Suddenly he registered amazement, as he stood staring at a disconsolate young girl. Betty, he all but shouted. Betty Thompson! where did you come from? Why, Jack, is it really you? Mother, daddy! Here's Jack! You may be sure that it didnlt take Betty and Jack a long time to find themselves strolling along the boulevard. Gossip flew thick and fast between the two. How was the.bunch? Did they miss her?-Hope to snicker! They did! Then the two young people fell to talking over their senior year at Waite. Jack , Betty began, wouldn't you love to be a senior again and live over the good times? Why, I'll never forget the Thanksgiving day when we gained that 40-0 victory! And the nicest part was your making that first touchdown! Nope, you're wrong, said Jack. The nicest part was my taking you to the Varsity dance that night! Golly, I can still taste that good turkey candy! HI remember that, too, agreed Betty. Weren't the programs clever? And didn't Ruth Wales and her melody men make us step around Betty, said Jack, everywhere I go, people admire our senior class ring. Can't you picture the night when old Santa, alias Ed Young, gave them to us ? 'AHow splendid Mr. Stockdale's address was! said Betty. Let's see. That Woman's Building has -been the scene of many Waite affairs, hasn't it T' asked Jack, Yes, it has. The Juniors held their annual Hop there, that year we were seniors. Don't you remember the decorations? Presiden t, Student Council ,ii 'Tll say I do! The big snow-man in one corner looked like old Winter himself. I can still hear the rhythm of Lew Waterman's bandf' And right after that came the annual Forum dance. Those huge gold .dragons shone out from their black back- grounds like demons transported from the Orient. And Lew Waterman's orchestra was popular, wasn't it. The melody boys kept the guests busy that evening. President, Friendship Club KNIERIM WMS ' one hundred fifty-three PURPLE AND GOLD f one hundred fifty-four vfwmwwv PURPLE AND GOLD Uh-huh. And I'll never forget the dance that was like reading 'Alice in Wonderland' or 'Grimm's Fairy r Tales. ' You mean the 'Story Book Ball' that the Peri's gave! Remember Humpty Dumpty on the wall, and Mis- tress Mary, quite contrary? In fact, many of the characters of Mother Goose fame were represented in the decorations. Sure, I recall it all now. The canopied ceiling in rain- bow colors, an.d the old Man in the Moon beaming down on us! The Senior Play, 'Nothing but the Truth' came next, -a real success, too. I ot two laughs ever minute out of that, said g y . Jack. I never knew how many talented seniors we had until I saw that play. And didn't the Q. D.'s have their annual dance next? asked Betty. 4'Right you are, my young lady. How could you forget the 'Bagdad O-may-la-0? I imagined I was living in the Orient that evening. The silver ceiling, the rich Oriental hangings, the iron-wrought lamps, the minarets and the Turkish dervishes transported the guests to ancient Bagdadf' Oh, Jack, that was a dance of dreams. And then the Zets had their turn at the 'Candy Caprice.' The gymnasium was a veritable candy land. Candy vines of a sort Bur- bank never dreamed about trailed over the graceful trellises. Those gorgeous 'pillars' all made of peppermint candy and the airy canopies, and everything. Wasn't it great? Speaking of dances, Betty, what year would be complete without the Juniors' sponsor- ing a program by a college glee club? Ohio Northern sent a fine band and minstrel show to us, didn't they? Bob Price's energetic junior committee surely worked well, with fine results. WALTZ President. Senior Clan And what a gay time we had at the Junior 4Mixer,' Jack! Those affairs are always so friendly and informal. Then, we seniors followed them right up with our Senior Prom at the Commodore Perry, answered Jack. Wasn't it 'Ritzyf too? Such clever two-toned programs and such a dandy orchestra! Those Ohio State boys knew their music! And, of course, any event given at the Commodore Perry would be distinctive. You bet! And to show how really distinctive our senior class was, we had our annual banquet at the Commodore Perry, too. The class poem, the history, and the prophecy were read to us. We began to realize that not many more days remained for us at Waite. Just around that time came the gorgeous May Fes- tival, 'Carmen,' presented by the four Toledo high school glee clubs and orchestras. Mr. Ball worked hard with the glee clubs to make such a splendid presentation. 'AWell, both of us warbled in glee club our senior year, Betty. I liked the operas we put over. 'The Belle of Barcelona' made a great hit. Boy! There was a packed house that night! I liked the 'Prince of Pilsen' better, I believe, said Jack. 'KThe club was lucky to be able to present the first royalty opera ever given by a Toledo high school. Another thing we ought to mention, put in Betty, was the annual banquets given by various school organiza- tions. We always supported those in fine style. Say, Jack, speaking of organizations, reminds me of the parties the Hi-Y and Friendship clubs used to have' together. ' ' The Hallowe'en party and the 'Kid' party were just SCHRIEBER lots of fun.

I canlt help it when I remember how funny you looked when you fell into our lunch and ruined it! Class day was one of our last opportunities to be together as the class of l927. How well, Betty, I recall the baccalaureate sermon! lts solemnity made us realize the seriousness of the new life we were about to enter. Before we knew it, the great day had come, and we were receiving our diplomas, the result of four years' work and play. Graduation night, and with it some of our hopes and ambitions realized! We looked upon the world and it was ours to conquer. Those days spent at Waite will often return to us in memory as they have done tonight.

JAEGER In every school there is a man behind the scenes, one who works as hard as the boys on the field, but who receives no portion of the glory that goes to the team. At Waite that man is Mr. F. E. H. Jaeger, treasurer of the Athletic Association. Mr. Jaeger goes through a veritable pur- gatory for about two weeks annually, be- fore the Thanksgiving game. Due to his efforts, more than ten thousand Waite fans were privileged to see the Purple and Gold overwhelm Scott, a great close to a great season. une hundred .mcfy faur PURPLE AND coLD.4-5. a MR.

These composing the groups were Edward Young, James Scanes, Robert Muntz, Fred Zilles, John Popp, Hazel block, Bernice Pytel, VVilma Slater, and Edith Knaggs. During the Libbey-Waite rush for tickets, room 107 was converted into a business office. The real rush came during the sale of the Waite-Scott tickets. The duties of the class were to open the envelopes handed in by teachers and stu- dents, check the money, place the proper tickets into the envelopes, and return them to the home rooms. There were other duties, running errands, counting money, and answering phone calls, all contributed their share in keeping the classes busy. i 0693 s9'1!'w,:f3q 11 'll' one hundred sixty-five PURPLE AND GOLD MR. HAROLD FLETCHER While plaudits are directed to the back- field man who crashes through the line or circles around the wings for a gain of eight or ten yards, how many people go deeply enough into the matter to ascertain the reason for the gain? It is a safe wager that eight out of ten times the line is responsible. The reason for Waite's impregnable for- ward wall is Harold Fletcher, line coach. An All-American tackle at Chicago, during his college career, he instilled his knowledge of football into Captain Shoemaker and his team mates. Hats off to the man who makes Waite's line invincible, Harold Fletcher! MR. HARoLn FLETCHER MR. NUBLE JONES MR.

Noble Jones leaves us this year to be- come coach at Woodward Tech, a city rival of Waite, but his name will long be re- membered in the annals of the Purple and Gold. Good luck to him, say we. .4r. WSYQYN in-PURPLE AND GOLD Mk. STEVE ROHLFING MP.. HAROLD ANDERso1N MR. STEVE ROHLFIN G Coming from Gibsonburg, where he was football and basketball coach, Mr. Rohlfing immediately took up the job of Freshman football mentor. His team showed up well, winning all the games played, except the one with Tiffin Junior Order. Twice, in the bowl, the Freshmen showed their ability by dusting off lNIorenci and Lima Central with big scores. After the successful football season, Mr. Rohlfing jumped into freshman basketball coaching, and produced a team which was capable of winning from any class B team in this part of the state. Mr. Rohl- Iing's success is due largely to the fighting spirit which he instills into every man on his team. Ifootball, basketball, track and gymnas- ium instructor. That's a big assignment, but Harold Anderson is a capable man in handling them. In his first year at Waite, he has secured the confidence of all those connected with athletics. In the fall he was an enthusiastic and hard-working gridiron coach, while during the court season he labored industriously with the basketball live. During the spring, track claimed his attention, and he developed a good team. Besides having athletic ability, Andersonis personality has made him one of the best- liked men in the school. We are hoping he will be back next year. 'ffm MR. HAROLD ANDERSON 0 ne hundre ds PURPLE AND GOLD MR.

Last fall he was a famil- iar figure in the bowl, where he worked with the reserve squad.

He conditions, he trains, and he in- stills a never-say-die spirit into each one of his charges. Joe retired from the athletic life of the school at the end of the track season last spring, and we miss him in that phase of our school life.

Q475ll'l6'wg'Qjj,f8KII6T'su9 43' PURPLE AND GOLD-Q STUDENT MANAGERS The success of a season is due in no small part to the work of the student managers. During football season, Edward Davis and his assistant, Min Siewert performed work that Waite is proud of. Day in and day out, these unsung heroes did their duty energetically. It was Gimme a towel! here, and Hey, I want some shoes! there, and something was always wanted somewhere. But these two lads miraculously cared for the needs of the squad. After the games, which were often played on a rain-soaked field, the muddy uniforms had to be taken care of, and then it was up to Ed and Mini Ed's graduation in June will be a real loss to the school. Ufwjiwwl one hundred ty e h -Bi-PURPLE AND GOLD . 1 . SHOEMAKER - BARTKO PENKOFF CAPTAIN SHOEMAKER In this lad the old story of plugging has a fine example. Starting from the freshman squad, Paul rose in rank until he reached the varsity and captaincy. His remarkable playing attracted the attention of every critic who saw a Waite grid battle. During the two years he played as a varsity man, he was rated an all-city tackle. Under his leadership the VVai'te football eleven experienced a suc- cessful year, copping both city and state championships. And no small part of the accomplishment was due to Captain Shoemaker. GILBERT BARTKO During his second year on the eleven, Geza showed the same plunging ability which distinguished him in '25. His line crushing power was outstanding. In the last two years he has led the Purple and Gold scoring machine, and has been rewarded by being made the pilot of the Waite crew of '27. In the season of '25, Bartko scored all the points in Waite's 22-7 victory over Scott, and the 1340 win over Libbey. Besides being a gridiron man of note, he is a star perform- er in basketball. I PETE PENKOFF To Pete goes the honor of being veteran of the team. It is this hard-work- ing quarterback who for four years has directed the destinies of the Purple and Gold. For three years he has been unanimously chosen as the city's best signal- caller. Pete is one of the most crafty Held generals ever developed at Waite. His deadly stiff-arm and unerring passing ability coupled with his'knack of punt- ing, has made him the most feared man in Toledo high schools. Pete should be 3, valuable addition to some college, and we wish him the best of success. Bartko Plunges Through l'smlll6'w?gFV:'Ell W5'N9,gQE- N undred .seventy PURPLE AND GOLD V VANYO Dmvss , BUESCHEN ANDREVV VANYO In Andy's last year at Waite he made a great name for himself as a line- man, at guard he played a whale of a game, and was instrumental in opening up breaches in opposing forward walls. Andy's smile was never missing, even when he had tough jobs to do, and his determinatiion went for the making of one of the best linemen ever turned out at Waite. Andy reached the peak of perfection in the greatest game of the year, the Scott-Waite tussle. RICHARD DRAVES Whois that fellow without a helmet T' asks the spectator. 'Chink' Draves, of course,', we answer. Chink was by far the best end in the city, and his ability to get out of tight positions won him that honor. Very seldom was Chink the victim of that terrible dream of an end, the box. This sturdy lad broke up more plays than any other man on the squad, and his fighting spirit was instilled into his as- sociates. i'Chink packs away 'his moleskins this year. DALE BU ESCHEN Dale was another guard to be reckoned with when a play was directed at the center of the Waite line. Perhaps the heaviest man in the forward wall, he was worth his weight in gold. Bueschen had an uncanny ability to dope out the 0pponent's plays, and he was always on his toes. Playing his last year for the old Purple and Gold, Dale made a record to be proud of. For each of the two W's he carries, he has the remembrance of having been twice accorded a place on the all-city eleven. Q U Fzghtmg effoioQg'4S'gfR.9n16wa once hundred .seventy one PURPLE AND GOLD CANNON BERNHAGEN MCMURRAY WILLIAM CANNON Bill was one of our flashing halfbacks. He was always good for a substantial gain, and once started, he was hard to stop. For the past two years he has furnish- ed a mighty blast in the Purple Hurricane. Throughout the seasons of '25 and '26, he caused much comment because of his fleetness and his great all-around play- mg. Laid up with chance to show his his performance in '26 he -showed his highest caliber. H HOWARD BERNHAGEN injuries the first part of the year, Howdy did not get a stuff. But we well know what he had in him, judging from l925, when he won his first letter. In the last few games of same old ,style of playing, ,and his work at guard was of the e receives his diploma in June, and we are sorry to see him go. DAVID MCMURRAY Dirk won his W by virtue of some of the greatest playing ever seen in the Waite bowl. This flashly tackle was a good example of the power of the line. Coming from Tifh n, with considerable football experience, Dirk settled down to work in his new sphere, and proved himself a real athlete. Besides being a foot- ball player of note, Dirk proved himself no mean basketball man in his last year at Waite. Pete Throws 0 ne F-2-W6W6'N9:Jk??'EW53YJ o h ded uve tyt fl - 'M PURPLE AND GOLD-.ig Monsra SCHLEMMER HAWK ART MORSE Art was the boy who did the booting. And how he could do it! Many times he put Waite out of danger by sending a long spiral soaring down the field. Be- sides being blessed with this ability, he could run. His end runs were of the highest order, and he could always be called on to gain. His personality carried him a long way, and when he comes back next year, we expect great things from him. ELMER SCHLEMMER Here was the smallest man on the line. But what this classy center lost in size, he made up in fight. He formed the cog of the center trio, which was a mighty line group. Elmer,s specialty was diagnosing opponents' plays. He was especially adept at intercepting passes, or grounding them. His snapbacks were perfect, revealing exceptional skill. Elmer is lost to Waite through graduation, and his going will be keenly felt. It will be hard to develop a man to fill his shoes. , KENNETH HAWK Speed merchant. That is a proper designation for Ken Hawk. This junior., was a Hashy halfback, whose presence was felt every minute he was in the game. His ground-gaining ability was in evidence every Saturday, rain or shine. At Hamilton he showed he could run a team And Hchink, Catches It when he played quarter, because of an 1n- jury to Penkoif. He led the boys to a great victory, and was responsible for a touchdown when he Granged down the Held 50 yards. His presence next year will greatly increase the strength of the back- field. k'K6Jlll6' -i2: all637w one hundred seventy-ihree PURPLE AND GOLD APEL Locxiziu' RUss LAWRENCE APEL Nlay we introduce for your approval the smallest man on the team, Mike Apel? Though only a sophomore, Mike's brand of playing was always a bright spot in a game. He took the position of quarter, half, or what have you, and was a success at any of the positions. Mike is expected to perform in brilliant style next fall. HENRY LOCKERT Bud was another plunging fullback. His great work in the Memphis game gave him the title of line-Crusher. He was always good for substantial yardage. As he is only a sophomore, he can be expected to give good account of himself in seasons to come. He was a great relief man, and could be depended upon to give his best. This blondeheaded fellow has won his first W, but surely he can look forward to more. DONALD RUSS Don is another sophomore who won his spangles. He was a first-rate end, playing his first full game against Hamilton. In this game Don showed his stuff. His ability to break up plays was a yanyo At WDM great asset, and we are looking for- ward to the time when he will again be breaking up plays with the old fight that he displayed during the past season. wfoLu6'kg9-'5i'g,f'bv6WU h dred .raven ty-four PURPLE AND GOLD 1 1 Ewnvc BURMAN KREEGER GLADIEUX DON EWING To this fighting guard much credit is due for making the Waite line tight. Don was on his toes all the timeg the number of plays that went through his side of the line could be counted on one hand. Don is leaving the school this year and another man must be found to take his place. RICHARD BU RMAN Dick was another guard of note, who fought for the Purple and Gold. His playing was of high grade, and he will be missed on the gridiron next fall. Throughout the season Dick played a hard game. He will not be an easy man to replace. Q, EDWIN KREEGER Another end who won the coveted W in his lirst year was Ed. Kreeger. His sterling work in the wing position was noteworthy. His specialty was snagging forward passes out of the ether. His height and his quick thinking were both turned to account in every game he played. His going will be a blow to Waite's line. RQLLAND GLADIEUX Hawk Evades a Tackler Buck', is a fitting name for this fighting end. With every ounce of strength he possessed, he bucked at the idea of an opposing end gaining ground through him. Bucky made a good record this year, considering that he was the victim of an injury to his foot. His loss will be keenly felt both on the gridiron and in the life of the school. wmffnfwaiifyfammu .4!r. one hundred seventy-fiv PURPLE AND G-OLD THE SEASON With the advent of the 1926 football season at Waite, the Purple and Gold boosters were dubious as to the value of the eleven that was to uphold those colors. The loss of Fought, Muellich, Klambach, Annis, Rabbitt, Volmer and Waltz on the line, and Captain Pencheff, Neubrecht, and Whitney in the backfield, was bound to be felt. But all fears of a weak line were dispelled when, on Saturday, September 24, in a sea of mud, Captain Shoemaker and his cohorts swam to a 94-O victory over Carey, Ohio. The Zornmen swept through the visitors at ease, and when the first quarter ended, the scoreboard read 32-O. During this period Penkoff skidded over the line four times. In the second canto, the second string men were given a chance, and they responded by sending the score up to 57 points. Before the game was over, every man on the bench got a chance to display his wares, and some good prospects were found. Penkoif, who played a fine game, was ably assisted by Teegardin, Bickford, Scott, Ewing and Burman. H After a weekls hard practice, the Hopes of Zornv took on Woodward Tech in the first inter-city battle. After a hard-fought first quarter, in which the Carpenters held Waite to a single touchdown, the Purple and Gold warriors swept their opponents off their feet, and ran up a 71-0 count at the end of the game. The Waite reserves entered the fray in the second half, after Penkoff had skirted the ends for three touchdowns, and Bartko had crashed through for one. Morse kickedltwo goalsg Young, Gladieux and Shoemaker stopped numerous Carpenter plays, Lockert, Apel, and Hawk of the reserves proved to be the Nemesis of the Tech men, the former two going over the line twice, while the Fremont flash sped over the final chalk mark three times. Ivan Smith, the hard-hitting, Wood- ward lad, played well for the downtown boys. On October 9, the Detroit Eastern eleven decided to stop the Waite attack, so they invaded the bowl, and were blown over by a 64-O hurricane of counters. Waite completely outclassed the boys from the auto,' city in every department of the game. Detroit was not able to make 3 single first down. The Waite 1 backfield worked to perfection, each 647777077 UW-7 the S175 Arm member contributing to the scoring. Bartko was a Waite luminary in this game. He carried the ball over for two touchdowns and kicked 5 straight goals. On the line, Juhasz, Kreeger and Bueschen played a fine brand of football. Captain Bell was the out- standing visitor. After disposing of Detroit Eastern, the Purple Hurricane found its next foe in Memphis Central. To the Tennessee boys goes the honor of scoring a first down, and a touchdown. The final count was 27-6. The bowl was a veritable lake, with 3, few is- lands scattered here and there. The game was not more than five minutes old when Gail Flora, former Libbey ed :evenly PURPLE AND GOLD Hash, intercepted a Penkoff pass, and sprinted 44 yards for a score. In the second half, Waite, by means of a new plunging star, Bud Lockert, scored 20 points. Lockert in the backfield and VVinebrenner, Burman and Vanyo on the line were the YVaite luminaries, while Gail Flora was by far the best bet of Memphis. The following week produced the big surprise of the season. Waite was de- feated. Lincoln, Nebraska, champion of the Cornbelt, was the team that turned the trick. Both teams played great games, but Lincoln, through the toe of Kitchen, her diminutive quarterback, made six points from field goals. The other two points were collected on a safety in the third period. The Waite score was made by Penkoff, in the same period, by a dropkick from the 35-yard marker. Waite had Lincoln in her own territory a good part of the last half, but the westerners fought desperately and staved off defeat. Kitchen and Packer exhibited good football, while Raughis punting kept the Cornhuskers in the game. For Waite, McMurray and Schlemmer showed wonder- ful ability on the line, while Cannon played well in the backfield. Another southern opponent faced Waite on October 30 in the form of Louis- ville Male High. This was the team that knocked the National Championship hopes out of the Zornmen in l925, so the 1926 edition of the purple typhoon was out for revenge. And they got it. The tinal score was 7-O. After a score- less three quarters, the Waite machine began working effectively, and Bartko dived acrossfor six points, adding another by the same method. This was early in the final period, and when the gun barked, the pigskin was again reposing deep in Louisville's territory. Q ' The game was featured by the regularity of Bartko's plunging. Taking the ball in the center of the field, he plunged 14 consecutive times, and then slid over the line. Penkoif ran the team well, until he was removed with torn ligaments in his foot. Hawk then took up Pete's burden, and did an exceptionally good job of it. On the line, Chink Draves played a remarkable game at the wing position. He smashed play after play that came his way. Bernhagen showed well in this game also. After three hard intersectional tilts. the Waite eleven packed their grips and went to Hamilton to play the town's pride. They won the argu- ment, 'll-O, before the largest crowd ever to witness a game in Hamilton. Five thousand people saw the contest, 500 of whom were Waite rooters. The game was one which held the inter- est, and though they were beaten, the Hamilton boys fought until the final pistol shot. The Waiters used trick plays to bewilder the Hamiltonians. The features of the game were sup- plied by Hawk and Apel. The for- mer snagged a punt invmidfield, and streaked 50 years for a touchdown. Apel's chance came 'in the third quar- ter, when Gilbert, of Hamilton, raced After then man .,., ,S-ff.,',f,.. i it one hundred .ve n J if-PURPLE AND GOLD 50 yards with only Apel between him and the goal. But 'gMike sized up the situation and nailed the Hamilton flash. Belew and Gilbert were Ha1nilton's best backheld bets, while Slade played a good game on the line. For Waite, Russ, at end, played the best game. of his career, while Ewing, at guard, made himself felt. Apel and Hawk starred in the backfield. The following week the Waite crew took on the Libbey Cowboys in Waite's second inter-city battle. The south-end lads were sent home with a 12-O defeat. The VVaite boys clearly outplayed their opponents in all phases of the game, except, perhaps, in passing. Here the visitors showed amazing skill. Waite scored in the first quarter by means of a safety, and in the second quarter, Bartko caved through the Libbey center for 20 yards to a touchdown. He kicked goal. In the third period, the Cowboys threw all caution to the wind, and passed with reckless abandon. One heave from Schufeldt landed in the outstretched arms of Shumaker, who streaked 55 yards for a potential score, but he had stepped outside on Waite's 45. This was Libbey's only chance to score. The south side boys presented a well-balanced team. Zech was the backfield star because of fine defensive work, while Queenie Kime was the outstand- ing lineman. For Waite, Draves played the best game of his career. This helmetless lad was in every play, and it was he who intercepted a Libbey heave in midfield and dashed to I.ibbey's 15, from which point Bartko booted a field goal. In the backfield, Morse played a fine game, thrilling the crowd by some pretty end runs. His best effort was a 20-yard sprint around the Libbey left end, in the fourth period. Again it was Thanksgiving morning, and the Waite rooters were in the Scott stands early to cheer for their team. The Waite boys rewarded their fol- The buclzfiela' lz d d seventy-eight PURPLE AND GOLD lowers by trouncing Scott, 4010. It was Waite's game from the start. The Purple and Gold crashed over the final marker for two touchdowns in the first period, and an additional one in the second. After a scoreless third quarter, the Scott eleven felt the pent-up strength of the Waite aggregation, and had three touch- downs scored upon them in the final canto. The game, though onesided, was ,replete with thrills and exceptional playing. Cartlidge was Scott's best man. He played on the line, and was pulled back to run with the ball, to toss the oval, or to boot it. For the Purple and Gold, Captain Shoemaker and Andy Vanyo performed well on the line. Vanyo played the greatest game of his great career, while Captain Shoemaker, in his last football game under Waite's colors, made himself felt at all times. In the backfield, Penkoff and Bartko were the best of the crew of men who worked there. Pete went over for two touchdowns, besides playing a spectacular game. Bartko went over for one six pointtcount and was good for 8 points after touchdowns. Thus ended a successful football season. Waite scored 339 points against 14 for her opponents. But one touchdown was recorded against the Purple Hurricane, and that by Memphis on an intercepted pass. To be sure, there was one defeat, but only one. So, with 89? of Waite's games turned into victories, we closed the football books of 1926. SEASON LINEUP TOUCHDOVVN!

VV. A. MEN Throughout the football season there were those who worked courageously through daily practice, and who struggled through the mud, trying to hold back the plunging varsity. To these men go a generous share of praise. They were rewarded at the close of the season with sweaters bearing the insignia A. W. A. The men who received these sweaters were Scott, Bernhagen, Juhasz, Teegardin, Bickfqrd, Young, and Winebrenner. Scott was a helpful man. When given a chance, Rosey', could hit the line or run the ends with equal ability. Bernhagen was a tackle, and a good one, too. More than one play met its end at Bernie's', position. Juhasz played end. He was a deadly tackler, and was always willing to mix it up. In his last year at Waite, Teegardinearned his emblem. He played in the backfield and could be depended upon at any time. Though only a freshman, Bickford salted away his sweater. He was a backfield man. He should be an asset to the team next year. Ed. Young played a guard with good judgment. He particularily delighted in smashing up oppon- ents' plays. Ed graduates in June. FRESHMEN FOOTBALL SEASON This year the athletic association turned its attention to the freshmen more than ever before, and Mr. Steven Rohlfing was selected as coach. Early in the fall, a call for football players was issued, and a large number of light fellows turned out. They started into work at once, and soon proved to their coach that they were a scrappy bunch. The squad was cut to three complete teams, with whom the coach labored, turning out a remarkable team. A spirit of friendly competition enabled the fellows to develop into real football players. Each week, when not playing a scheduled game, the frosh joined in battle with the Rossford outfit, winning three out of five starts. Each victory brought added confidence, which enabled the frosh to round out a season marred only by two practice defeats and a trouncing by the Tiffin Junior Order, a team away out of Waite's class. hletamora was humbled, 20-Og Wernert's Corners met a 13-12 defeat, the more sting- ing because this team had not been defeated for three yearsg Central Catholic Frosh fell before Waite, 41-Og Morenci bit the dust to the tune of 54-Og Lima Central took back a 56-0 score to account for their visit to the hillg Waite scored 191 points to their oppon- ents' 42, 30 of which were scored by Tiffin in their 30-7 defeat of the Freshmen. The first string men were Captain Hissong, Yourist, McKi11ley, Wiles, Molnar, Wilcox, Rufty, Bowman, Klaiber, Witheral, Bickford, Schnitcker, and Bainter. Other men on the team were Patterson, Wittel, Nicholas, Wolcott, Whitmarsh, Bauman, Bell, Ortez, Busticker, Apel, Roper, Schupp, Moses, Monto, Baumgartner, Jones and Alexander.

Loyal and Lyle Calkins, James Drake, and Clarence Weber are the boys who will write C. L. after their autographs in this book. They are the lads who make contortionists out of themselves at every athletic event of the year, just to induce the students to yell and to back the team. Rain or shine, these boys are on the job at every game of the year, and whether the contest be close, or a runaway, they are right there on the old job. All are veterans but Drake, and he has another year to win his chevrons. DRAKE WEBER T u one hundred eighty-one PURPLE AND GOLD BASKETBALL SEASON Immediately after the football season, a call for basketball was sounded. After the candidates had been weeded out, there were twelve who had withstood the test. These were selected to uphold the Purple and Gold for the season that was looming into view. The twelve were Captain Penkoff, Bartko, Hawk, Schlemmer, Draves, Kreeger, Brentlinger, Drake, Siewert, Wood, McMurray, and Juhasz. A Christmas trip was arranged, and the boys left their toys a while, to go play in the district where it is considered correct to have a machine gun under one's pillow. But the Waiters came through unscathed, and brought home the scalps of Elkhart, Indiana, and Hinsdale, Illinois, both labeled 33-27. If ------ ' The next Friday fit wasn't the thirteenth, but it should have beenj the boys cavorted on their home floor. But Norwalk High, by virtue of its uncanny ability to cage the pellet from a long distance, oozed out a 26-25 victory. The following week, Defiance came up the Maumee to be our guest, but we didn't treat them carefully, and sent them home via Salt Creek, with remembrance of a 45-25 defeat. About tliis time, Akron West thought it was time for Waite to get walloped, but the Akron boys had another think coming. They were sadly disappointed when the final tally read-in Waite's favor. The following week-end, the Zornmen made another migration, and took on Spring- field and Hamilton at their respective locations. Springfield eked out a 22-21 win, while the Hamiltonians avenged a 21-O football defeat handed them by Waite in the fall, and made life miserable for the Waiters. The final score was 22-17 in favor of Hamilton. Disgruntled but not disheartened, the Waiters took on Scott in their own gymnasium, in the West End. Here Norwalk, Springfield and Hamilton were avenged, when the Scotters took a 42-18 drubbing. With a record of two wins and two losses on the road, the Purple and Gold bearers took to the pounding rails again in the direction of Kenton. Here the town prides learned how basketball was played at Waite, and emerged from the game on the short end of a 28-24 score. Woodward Tech was our next opponent, and, after trailing until the last three minutes, the Carpenters slipped over a 20-18 victory. The battle probably the most thrilling ever seen on the Waite court, will long be remembered. Cleveland supplied the next foe in the form of Central high. The visiting outfit was by far the best crew to be seen on the home floor this year. They defeated the Waite aggregation 39-24. In Restifo, the Forest city lads had an ace, who scored 18 of his team's points. 54, 'TQTF5 one hundred eighty-two PURPLE AND GOLD TOU RNAMENTS Then came the city tournament, the first of a series of four. The Waite crew was hit hard by an ineligibility rule that cost them four men. The Purple and Gold drew a bye in the first round, and played Scott in the second. The Scotters took a 39-22 drubbing. This put Waite into the final, where she met Woodward. The Tech crew already had one victory accounted over Waite, but they were completely outplayed in the second tilt, and the Zornmen won the tournament 21-15. This gave them the right to represent Toledo at Findlay in the Northwestern Ohio meet. Their first opponent was Wapakoneta. After a hard fight the Waiters came through with a 36-23 victory. Defiance was the next opponent and they were eliminated from further play when the Waiters passed and shot their way to a 27-17 victory. Thus Waite entered the finals. With Mansfield as their opponents, our -cagers had to fight hard, but they emerged with the championship of northwestern Ohio, by trouncing Mansfield, 32-26. The following week the boys packed their grips and entrained to Columbus where they met the pick of Ohio, to decide the state championship. The Zornmen sailed through the first round by drubbing Columbus East, 36-25. In the next game, the Waiters played the fastest game of the year, and beat Salem Hi, 27-26. In the 'finals the Waiters met Dover, for the championship. But the hard game with Salem two hours before had sapped Waite's vitality, and we were beaten, 23-21. Because of their fine work in their three tournaments, Waite was invited to participate in the National tournament at Chicago. Grand Forks, North Dakota, was the first to face Waite. The crew from the northwest proved to be too good for us, and they romped off with a 28-21 win. We then entered the consolation tournament and met Greenville, South Carolina. The southerners were defeated, 25-19, and then Waite faced Durham, North Carolina. The North Carolina lads avenged their southern neighbors' defeat by beating Waite, 22-11. Waite was thus put out of further competition. The record for the year stood 14 games won and 8 lost, with Waite totaling 623 points to 534 for their opponents. 9.4 7:3 06'Y1QK'50 one hundred ezghty thrff PEN KO F F KREEGER one lzundfed eight-four PlIRI'LE ADJD GlJI.D PETE PENKOFF Pete was captain of the squad. At guard he was a mainstay of the team, and besides playing a good defensive game, he was often the offensive star. In his last year at Waite he earned his fourth letter both in basketball and football. Pete graduates in June. GILBERT BARTKO In this flashy player, the Purple and Gold had a valuable man. He was a good shot, and led the scoring in more than one game. He was given the position of forward on the myth- ical all-state basketball team because of his fine work in the state tourna- ment. Ge2a will be back next year to display his wares on the court. EDYVIN KREEGER Ed was the best shot on the team. His ability to slip the pellet through the net kept Waite in the running in every game. Ed was chosen forward on the second all-state basketball team. He receives his ,diploma in June. iewgwai BARTKO PURPLE AND GOLD PAUL BRENTLINGER A good six-footer is always an advantage in basketball, and Paul filled the bill. He turned in his best perform- ance in the two Scott games when he annexed fifteen counters in each. Grad- uation deprives us of his valuable serv- ices next year. FLOYD SIEWERT What this boy lacked in size, he made up in light. Minn was a per- manent player on the squad because of his fine work at the defense station. He was placed on the second'all-state five at the close of the season. CHARLES Woon' Chuck wasn't given a chance until late in the season, but he made a name for himself in the four tourna- ments in which he participated. He was one of the Hghtingest men on the crew.

He is lost through graduation. U l one hundred eighty-Jeuen PURPLE AND GOLD STEVE JUHAsz Though he was not given much of a chance to display his ability, Steve had considerable skill at the game.

Freddy was a believer in the old maximg If a thing is worth doing, it is worth doing well. RUPPLE RESERVES In every school there is the squad called Reserves. Waite is no exception, and the gang known as the Reserves has made a good name. The fellows won every outside game by good scores. Some of their opponents were the Scott Reserves, VVoodward Lightweights and the Samuel Jones Junior High. The squad worked diligently under the coaching of Mr. Swisher, and is to be corn- mended for its fine work. The members comprising the Reserves were: Apel, Gschwind, Allison, Shoemaker, Davis, Price, Schnitker, Wiles, and Scott. s 'l6'N9j ' one hundred eighty-eight ' PURPLE AND GOLD-it FROSH BASKETBALL After a successful football season it was agreed to let the freshmen try their hand at basketball. Coach Rolhiing started work at once, calling his men together and teach- ing the fundamentals of the game. Little was expected of them, as they were green and had a hard time finding the net. But the same spirit as had been shown in football was apparent on the court and Rohlfing began to see light. Form replaced awkwardness, team work cut down fumbles, and baskets began to How freely from all angles. This was only a start of the fine season which ended in state championship. The freshmen played sixteen games scoring 621 points to their opponents' 219. This is proof enough that the squad was composed of stars who used team work to advantage. Captain ,John Molnar led his men in fine fashion. Shrimplin and Rufty held down the forwards. while Bickford and Brunhaver played the guard positions. Their ability is shown by the fact they defeated the Waite reserves in two battles. Some of the fellows who played were Larson, Cassius, Jones, Whitmarsh, Turner and Fay. - Mr. Paolhfing is to be commended for his work. He turned out two freshmen teams of championship caliber. These fellows are showing the true Waite spiritg we need more - of them.

A., the Waite track team be- gan practice in a serious manner, al- though handicapped by the lack of proper facilities, especially a good track. The absence of any dual meet was noticeable. The track season consisted of five big meets which tested to the utmost the ability of our runners. Dual meets could not' be arranged because of the weather and track conditions. Around the varsity men of last l year, coach Collins built his squad. The . veterans were Eberlin and Williams, dash men, Bqurson and Gladieux, dis- tance runners and Whitney in the pole vauxlt. They, with the aspirants for track positions, worked in the bowl and on the cinder pat . I On March 20, the coach took the squad to Ann Arbor. Here, in the Yost field house, the team participated in the Second Annual Indoor Interscholastic meet. The Waite team did well to take fourth place, running against the best of Michigan outfits. Burson was Waite's star, lowering the meet record for the 880-yard run by three seconds, and after a short rest of three quarters of an hour was unofficially clocked in almost the same time in the medley relay. f BURSON' Gladieux gave promise of doing good work in the mile by taking sixth in a fast field. Both the 880 and the medley relays took fourth place. The runners, in the order of their running, were, for the 880, Eberlin, Molnar, Williams, and Geoffriong and for the medley, Scott, Eberlin, Wilkinson, and Burson. Whitney was unable to be present being required to play basketball on that date. Three weeks after the'Michigan meet, on April 17, the teams went to Columbus to take part in the Ohio relays held in the Ohio State stadium. Whitney began his last track season for Waite by taking second in the pole vault, jumping eleven feet. The mile relay, in order of running, Molnar, Dale, Scott, and Burson, took third. Eberlin reached the finals in the 100, but was unable to place. No points were counted in the meet, but Waite made an excellent showing against the championship teams of Cleveland Lakewood, Cincinnati Hughes, Columbus East and Urbana. GRAVES SCOTT GLADIEUX one hundred ninety PURPLE AND GOLDQ Following this, the team began priming for the Interscholastics, held May 1, in the Scott stad- ium, between the four public high schools of the city. Here Waite convinced Toledo that it had another championship team, by taking more as points than all the others put together. Waite Y' ' at the final tally had nine out of fourteen firsts, and numerous seconds and thirds, for a total of 65 points. Libbey was second with I 372 counters. , . 1 Whitney and Burson were the individual 'xg stars of the day with three firsts apiece. Whitney broke the city record in the pole vault and an- E l nexed first place in the high jump and javelin W throw. Burson took first place in the 440, 880, A' il and the broad jump. Gladieux won the mile race and Wilkinson followed him in for second ' place. Ross Scott, on Burson's heels, took second in the 880, and Molnar third in the 440. ,.,,v is Eberlin checked,in second in both the IOO and 220. Robinson pulled down a first in the low ' hurdles, and a second in the broad jump. Graves was third in the low hurdles. McKinley sprang a surprise by taking third in the pole vault. BERLIN Muellich was marked up with a second in the shot, and the 880 relay made up of Robinson, Marvin, Molnar, and Williams brought the meet to a successful close by taking first in that event. The next week, May 8, the track men should have gone to the Carnegie Tech meet, held at Pittsburg. However, due to the lack of transportation facilities, the team did not make the trip. Whitney went to Pittsburg on his own, and took first place in the pole vault against the keenest sort of competition from the country at large. Instead of having an immense crowd of athletes at the State meet, the Ohio officials organized the State into eight districts. Each had a track meet to determine who should go to Columbus. The first five places in each event would qualify, and the two teams having the lgfreatest number of points could take all the men who participated even if they had not quai ed. The Northwestern meet was held in the Scott stadium, May 15. Eight other schools, all having good reputations in track circles, were in Class HA. Burson repeated his previous performances on Scott field by taking three firsts in the 440, 880 and broad jump, while Whitney accounted for two more firsts in the pole vault and javelin. Gladieux took another first in the mile and George Graves did the same thing in the high hurdles. Wilkinson ran a pretty race, taking second in the mile. Williams sailed far enough to grab off second in the broad jump. Ross Scott was third in the 880. Fourth places taken by the Waite men were Eberlin in the 220, Molnar in the 440, Robinson in the 220 low hurdles, Vanyo in the shot and Williams in the 100. John Graves tied for fifth in the 220 hurdles and Vanyo got a fifth in the javelin. J.

Graves, in the high hurdles, also went as far as the semi-finals, but was forced out at this point.

Ed. Davis won the manager's W. All in all, Waite's track team had a very successful season. Not a little of the credit is due to Joe Collins, the coach, who worked untiringly from early spring, to develop one of the best teams ever to wear the Purple and Gold of Waite high school.

In addition to their regular class instruction, they have freely given of their time to an extensive program of organized athletics for girls. Under such instruction, we not only learned the game, but good sportsmanship as well. Miss Tilock and Miss Gottshall are both graduates of New Haven Normal School of Gymnastics, New Hampshire. GIRLS, ATHLETIC LEAGUE Lois BERRY .... ..... P resident MARGARET KELLER --- .... ..... - --Vice-President DOROTHY JACKSON -- .... ..... S ecretary MARGARET Ronms .............................................. Treasurer The Athletic League was organized in 1923 for the purpose of stimulating girls' athletics at Waite, by promoting cleaner, better, and a greater variety of sports for girls. With about one hundred and fifty members in the league, the problem-.of finding profitable occupation for all comers is easily understood. The coaches, however, are skilled in ar- ranging class work. On Monday, Wednesday, and Friday, instruction is given in clogging, tumbling, and organized games like baseball. On Tuesdays and Thursdays, undaunted by boys' days in the gym, swimming classes are held at the Y. W. C. A. At the close of the year W's and chevrons will be awarded to the ten girls who have been con- spicuous for sportsmanship, health, and high scholarship standing. 4 T a . one hundred mnety three PURPLE AND GOLD-:il FALL SPORTS Hocxay Hurray for hockey! No other sport at Waite proved more popular to the junior and senior girls than field hockey. It was entered with a zest that remained strong to the end. Sock it! Sock it! seemed to be the only cry at first, but with more practice and head-work, the science of the game began to come to light. The girls emerged from the season with battered ankles and noticable limps, but happy with the added vigor that' the fall days imparted. Soccan Soccer was just as invigorating to the Freshman and Sophomores as hockey to the Juniors and Seniors. Soccer made its first appearance at Waite this year, and judging by the number of enthusiasts for the game, it seems to be here to stay. HIKING Fall days not only brought hockey and soccer, but an enthusiasm for hiking as well. Breakfast hikes proved the most popular, although many jaunts were taken after school. Under Miss Lickley's supervision, hiking came to be thought of as an art, something that must be taken scientifically, if we would obtain benefit from it. SWIMMING The newest advancement of the League was the conducting of swimming classes at the Y. W. C. A. This was an unusual opportunity for those who could avail themselves of the privilege, to receive excellent instruction at a minimum cost. Miss Gottshall carried on this splendid work. ll6'N9:i'?'5V one hundred ninety-four PURPLE AND GOLD WINTER SPORTS CLoGGrNG When clogging classes started, directed by Miss Gottshall, the league turned out enmasse. Beginners and advanced cloggers ambitiously gave vent to their rhythmic tendencies by impersonating such characters as Old Reuben, Liza Jane and Pony Boy. CLASS TOURNAMENT The gymnasium was a scene of intense competition during the inter-class toumament. The games were played after school by the regular gymnasium classes, for the purpose of stimulating enthusiasm in athletics and encouraging team play. Of the five or six squads that worked out every hour, the winner in each section was allowed to enter the tourna- ment. The representative squads participating in the freshman pin ball tournament were: first hour, the T. N. T.'sg third hour, the Twentieth Centuriesg fourth hour, the Piratesg and sixth hour, the Marathons. The T. N. T.'s and the Marathons were eliminated in the semi-finals with the Pirates carrying off the final laurels. The sophomores staged a similar combat with hit-pin baseball. Here the Zornades of the second hour class conquered the Zornies of the fifth hour, and were pronounced champions. one hundred ninety-five PURPLE AND GOLD BASKETBALL Basketball came in for its due share of enthusiasm under the tutelage of Miss Tilock, more girls turning out this year than ever before. The girls played by squads until the inter-class games commenced. These brought playful rivalry, as each class struggled for supremacy. TUMBLING Tumbling, one of the most strenuous activities of the league, proved that the girls were not afraid of hard work. The advanced group went extensively into the art of tumbling, perfecting the rolls, head and hand stands, individual stunts, pyramids, and balancing. I SPRING SPORTS THE EXHIBITION T The biggest event in the girls' athletic department was the annual exhibition, April 7, put on by the regular gymnasium classes combined with the athletic league. Folk dances, team games, clogging, tumbling, all showed the result of careful instruction. .A ' WW one hundred ninety-six PURPLE AND GOLD After the exhibition, attention centered on baseball, track and tennis. When the weather prohibited outdoor play, indoor practice was held in the gymnasium. Such events as the 60-yard dash, hurdling, high jump, baseball, target throw, basketball foul throw, and long distance throw, helped to round out a complete program of athletic activities for girls. For the year 1926 chevrons were awarded as follows: third year, Helen Herbster, Muriel Waldvogelg second year, Margaret McClure, Lois Berry, Mary Knierimg W's Dorothy Jackson, Margaret Keller, Gertrude Pryke, Lisbeth Keller, and Theola' Gatzke, WQPYQXJT-an UGXYBV one hundred ninety-:even PURPLE AND GOLD one hundred ninely-eight vvmaqbwwf' 43' 1 W i 1,7 I I two hundred 3-PURPLE AND GOLD CO ICS H PETE's RAG Tuvua In the spring, a young man's fancy turns to thoughts of expressing the impulses that spring brings. Pete Preston felt a romantic pull at his heart one bright morning. The preceding winter had ushered in the year 1937. It had also exerted a pull on his purse, so that the problem was how to replenish his exchequer. No ordinary means would do, for was this not the season of unusual actions on the part of young men? He knew there was no money, much less a market, for his poetry. Therefore, after considerable pon- dering, Pete conceived an idea. He rented a delapidated horse, wagon and a tin horn, and soon the alleys reverberated with piercing blasts. Pete was a ragman, if only for a day! Having no fixed program, he artlessly decided to pursue any tactic in order to reap the long green. The first opening presented itself in the form of a gate. He jumped down and entered the back yard. Thirty seconds later, he hobbled painfully back to the wagon. crawled into his seat and drove' furiously away. Stella Kirby, waving a broom, imparted a dyne of force to his back as he escaped. Not so good! m.uttered Pete. Farther down the alley an old stove rested peacefully against a fence. Here was legiti- mate prey, thought Pete. He tugged and pulled. May I help you, my man? A voice startled Mr. Preston. It belonged to William Francis, Pete discovered, and he mumbled a distrustful, uh huh! The stove was half into the wagon when Mr. Francis suddenly ejaculated, Why, this is my old stove, you rascal! I'll get you! The rascal, however, was soon a lap ahead of his foe. The stove fell with a crash, and Pete was off, pronto. I knew it! he sighed. But Pete was nothing, if not optimistic. He picked up his horn and blew-often and awfully. The bodies of Robin Hood, Friar Tuck, et cetera, would have turned greener than Sherwood forest if they could have heard Pete express his musical talent on that horn! This horn sure is original! quoth Pete, as a -series of plunks and sounds of ringing bells suddenly broke loose. An extra loud bang accompanied by a slight pain in the head caused the hero to soliloquize. Whoa! That's not in the horn! He turned a quizzical look about him. As he glanced backward, he was startled to see an assorted array of shoes and alarm clocks in the wagon. His gaze shifted heavenward in wonder, and he saw faces of disturbed slumbers in every degree of rage turned upon him. Hastily dropping the horn, he galloped onward. V I must be brave, said Pete. Ah! There's some business. A dainty specimen of feminine loveliness waving frantically at him. You're just the man I wanted to see, said Dorothy Schreiber. I was so afraid you would pass by. Here as a few bags I've been wanting to get rid of. Here! T-hank you, lady, gulped Pete. What a sight for eyes, to behold-the bags I mean. They're a start in business, anyway. You are very welcome, sir. Good day! Out in the alley, Pete emptied the contests of the gift bags into one huge sack. Giddap! It was not long before weird noises sounded back of him. Now what-! thought Pete. With trembling hands he unfastened the top of the biggest bag, when four black cats leaped out! In the air, they spread out fan-like. One glided to anchor on the unfortunate Pete's face, another on his leg, a third on the decrepit horse's flank, while the fourth negotiated a beautiful dive into an open manhole. As if by pre-arrangement, the three demons settled down on their victim's anatomy simtdtaneously. The results of the flank movement of the one cat persuaded Dobbin to give ear to the call of Pegasus. He leaped ahead and tore out of the vicinity with meteorical velocity. . si ,F wewqgea ev in-PURPLE AND GOLD The Most Acceptable o Commencement Gifts BULOVA WA Cl Cl-IES szs so it t Watch value that defies com- parison!

Accordingly we made our way as rapidly as possible through the mad- ding throng in the hall, donned our street garb, and took the air. We absorbed some oxygen fand more dustj in our walk across Cherry Street bridge, and in due time, we reached town. Adventure awaited us at the very first store we entered. Ostensibly we were on the trail of a feather for Catherine Davis' new hat, but that didn't prevent our go- ing first to a grocery. Krispy Krackers! exclaimed Cather- 1ne, as we stopped before a counter. Even the name is enticing! Catherine was delighted. She picked up the package and read the label. Oh, she sighed, Just what I've been looking for. See what it says: 'Makes fat people thin, and thin people reconciledl' Let's get a sample. We did, and walked slowly on. Wilma Deters further enlightened us as to this new health food's accomplishments, by reading more of the information printed on the box: Cures dyspepsia, pyorrhea, amnesia, plural 'and singular ammonia, harmonica, and sleeping sickness, she read triumphantly. Ain't medicine grand? I only half heard her delineation of Krispy Krackers' healing properties, as I was endeavoring to get the morsel I had sampled, out of my mouth, in ac- cordance with the best rules of etiquette. Shades of last year's bird's nests! What a strawy 'taste! My companions were heartless enough to laugh at my mis- fortune, but I punished them by reciting the imaginary virtues of these triumphs of the baker's art. When you feel blue because she broke a date, eat Krispy Kracker, I mocked. If the teacher calls on you suddenly, finding you unprepared, munch a Krispy? When your car refuses to start, mix a Krispy with the gasoline, and try again. Should your rich uncle be ill, place a Krispy on his trayg and don't forget that your dog will welcome a Krispy as a change from dog biscuits.

The newest as well as one of the most important developments in the electric light field is the new Inside Frosted Mazda Lamp-for your fixtures and lamps. This new Mazda is by far a better lamp for household and other uses than you have ever used before. It is better in five distinct and outstanding ways. l. The Pearl gray bulb harmonizes by changing its color to blend with any fixture, shade or background. 2. Easy to clean. Because the frosting is on the inside of the bulb, the outer sur- face is smooth and sheds dust. 3. Gives More Light. This new bulb gives more light than lamps it replaces and reduces the glare with its inside frosting. 4. More Rugged. The strength has been greatly increased. Your cost through breakage will be less. 5. Costs Less Than Previous Lamps. The average price of all Mazda lamps is 5l'Z: less than in l924. This is only one example of what the electric light industry is doing to make your home lighting more effective and less expensive. The new Mazda was developed at Nela Park, Cleveland, where most of the experimental work for the industry is conducted.

We were sprayed with ten different sorts of Oriental perfume, we listened to a speech on how to become beautiful in a day, and by that time it was necessary to return to our cottage small by a waterfall. Not until we were almost home did we remember the feather, but Catherine decided to pull one from her pet rooster's tail, so it didn't matter, anyway. DUCKS OR Docs You have all heard about the duck Ed Davis drew, in art class, which took months of artistic effort on Ed's part but you don't know what you've missed if you haven't seen the pups carefully tuck- ed away in a drawer down there now. Af- fectionately grouped on a huge piece of paper, they comprise the most spectacular bit of art work ever done by a veteran of the football squad. Paul Shoemaker is surely going to the dogs! Paul, who is the author of the piece, thinks two of dog is worth one of duck any day, but Ed argues that ducks are more useful to human beings because one can Cat them.

She was an energetic woman, and as ambitious as could be. Every day she worked hard, teaching English in a high school. One day she decided to have her third hour Now class write some poetry. She said, Who'll write me a sonnet? Not I, said Lorin Kerr. Not I, said Charles Jarvis. Not I, said Dorothy Campey. Not I, said Ruth Roper. Well, she said, then I'll do it my- self! And she did.

And she did. the end of the semester came around, as semesters have a way of do- ing, when it was time for the grades to come out. Miss Mary was undecided to whom to give the credit for the semester's work, so she asked, Who wants some credit? I do, said Lorin Kerr. I do, said Charles Jarvis. I do, said Dorothy Campey. I do, said Ruth Roper. Well, she said, you don't deserve it, so I'1l take it myself. And she did.

Sir Thomas was enraged. He ruffled his back fur, gnashed his white teeth, and struck an attitude of ferocious antipathy. His honor was at stake! Could it be possible that he, a de- scendant of a line of ancestors renowned for valor at home and abroad, should be com- pelled to suffer the indignities heaped upon him in the last few days? Should he endure in silence, while an omery mouse of doubtful ancestry stole his food, in- terrupted his siestas and made life unen- durable? By all the catnip imaginable, no! He would be avenged! Noiselessly he arrived on the first floor. Down the deserted corridor he made his way, pawing at imaginary foes and muttering cat noises to himself. Sud- denly his front paws braked, and the rear ones followed suit. Sacre Bleu ! said Sir Thomas. The diabolical object of my jvrath ! Heh! Heh ! The thing upon which Sir Feline gazed seemed to be busily engaged at eating -probably a morsel of Sir Tom's last meal. The object moved sideways, back- ward, forward, always keeping in the shadow of a locker. The cat sneaked up gradually. Like the moving object of his wrath, he kept in the shadows. Step by step he progress- ed until he was within springing distance. Muscles grew taut, fur rose belligerantly, and teeth glistened in the gloom. The glassy glint in his eye was fearful to contemplate. He sprang-and landed true! A furry mass threshed, clawed, snarled and spit at the air. But why has the battle ended so abruptly? Ah! 'Tis now apparent. Sir Thomas has erred. He has attacked a mass of dust missed by the sweepers. In baffled rage, his catship lurches down to the engine room, curs- ing his wretched fate. Soon all is still, save for the soft chuckle of a fat little mouse atop a student locker. l6'WlQK N two hundred eighteen PURPLE The sudden withdrawal of the wagon from under Pete so unbalanced him that he was cast over a fence and into the em- brace of a thorny bush. The impact on the bush must have released a huge dog from home ties, for no sooner had Mr. 'Preston landed than a neat slice of ankle was painfully subtracted from his leg. That there is an immediate and opposite reaction to every action, was proved true, when Pete hastily clambered over the fence into the alley again. Pete was all for calling it a day, but he was soon haled by a housewife. Geye- vieve Edstrom presented him with a few bags of paper. To her amazement and anger, he dumped the contents on her porch and examined them minutelyf' How preposterous! said she. Aren't you satisfied that I'm giving you this paper without your suspecting me of con- cealing bricks or something in the sacks? This is a gift. Lady, said Pete, drawing himself to his full height and looking at her dis- dainfully, I hate gifts! Proudly he gave her a few cents, and proceeded to dissolve business by surrend- ering the horse, wagon, and tin horn to their owner. 2312 Frank Stienmetz: A woman has five apples and six children.

As he hopped nimbly off the train, the detec- tive of world renown was asked to answer a few questions. He agreed, but first nisisted upon being allowed to examine his surroundings. Before permission was given, he whipped out a false beard, a wig and a formable pistol which he lovingly called his can- non. After vigorously rubbing his badge with his coat sleeve, he crawled under a car and examined the wheels for finger- prints. When he was assured there was no crook in the vicinity, he placed him- self lengthwise across the brake rods. Well, how about dem questions? he asked. Bob Bolbach: Where and how were you knighted, Sir Ironout De Wrangles ? Wrangles: Hm-m-m-ml Oh yes! It was in dear ol' Lunnun! I was trailing a notorious crook through limehouse, when I was suddenly dubbed on the head with a beer bottle. Immediately I became nighted-everything went black. Ruth McGinnis: Where did John Mol- nar get his ability to bark like a cat, and how can the mania be curbed? Wrangles: John Molnar--um-m-mf I've followed that 'guy' before. However, the question is answerable. This person de- veloped his malady in grand opera. He was up in the seventh heaven trying to mimic a prima donna. While endeavoring to im- itate a soprano, his voice went phooey. Afetr that, he found that the only noise he could make was a cat noise, so he de- veloped that to its present perfection. There are two effective ways of remov- ing the annoying sound. The first is to use a nine-shooter. Probably the most humane treatment, however, is to dip the creature in the river seven times and lift him up six times. Wilma Deters: Hi say there, old chap!
