Waite High School takes pleasure in presenting to the students the record of a year of school progress. In this volume of the Purple and Gold it has aimed to show the achievements of the school in the past year and to trace the development of the individual students, through their high school training, from unformed youth to the threshold of clearly dehned manhood and womanhood. The education of the modern student in Morrison R. Waite High School gives to him a worldfwide viewpoint, a training as broad as that of the young man who travels around the world in a ufloating university. Classes help him to see England, to picture Qxford, Cambridge, Eton, to visualize their oakfbeamed ceilings, polished tables, and rolling green campuses. The humor which brightens every day shows him Ireland, land of eternal good fun, of laughf ing colleens, of warm sentiment. Participation in social activities takes him to still another country, to Spain, the land of intoxicating music, gay fiestas, color, romance. The American high school student who takes this trip gains a bit of Gxford drollness, a drop of Irish wit, a dash of the romance of Spain, a strain of the music of Italy, bef comes, indeed, truly cosmopolitan. Through these pages, then, travel with us around the world on the good ship Waite to see the life of every land, the spirit and activities of youth everywhere. Come aboard on our 1928 cruise. Much is in store for all of us.

POLLOCK, captain of the good ship Waite dif rects every class across calm and stormy seas. He is always at the helm, steering the ship from rocks and reefs and into the harbor of good fortune. His watch is an unceasing one. Upon him the responsibility for the operation and welf fare of the high school depends. His Work requires friendf liness, tact, foresight, business comprehension, understandf ing of young men and Women, and sympathy with their pleasures. All these qualities he has. He thinks of others before himself. Although he is a busy man he gives careful attention to the details of the school, he handles every situaf tion with tact and justice. Thus he solves the countless problems, large and small, which must be met by a high school administrator every day. To express our appreciation for his valued service as principal of Morrison R. Waite High School and our esteem for him as adviser, man, and friend we dedicate to! Mr. Pollock this fourteenth volume of the Purple and Gold. Q.,jB IQGIIHZIQPICKH and GUIDED 6NXS.9 JAMES A. POLLOCK Q-.lb PURPLE and GCOJJUIID 633:9- 'Uiews of Waite 111 HE Annual Board is very proud of the art work appearing on the following pages. These views of Waite are halfftone reproducf tions of dryfpoints. To make the dryfpoints the art students use an instrument with a sharp steel point, scratching the picture on the surface of a zinc plate. So that the illustration will not print backwards, the drawing must be done in reverse order. The zinc plate is cleaned and inked: the ink remains in the scratched lines with a thin film over the rest of the plate. Then the paper, which has been dampened, is laid over the plate. Plate and paper are now placed between mats and run through rollers. The picture is thus reproduced on paper. The print is then photographed and reproduced in this book as a halfftone. The Annual Board offers its sincere thanks to Miss Kershner and the three art students responsible for this work, jack Haley, james Stutzman, Pat Higginbotham.

Although the towers are not a new sight to us, we ref spond anew, each time we see them, to their beauty. In the early morning when the sun rises and lights all the sky beyond the school, the towers stand out like dark majestic shadows against the silver and rose.

He 2 Q comes here highly recommended, and although his office is a new one we are sure he will fill it capably. He is a friendly, interested, interesting person, as our new Director of Instruction he will deal directly and personally with the teaching in the class room. Mr. Puckett received his Master's degree from Columbia University, and has practically completed his Doctor's work, except for his thesis, at the University of Iowa. As high school principal in Evansville, Indiana, he was most capable. We sincerely wish him happiness and success in his new position. CY1 .awe JDQUIIL-tiavrncef and Goran osxxks- HE high school of today aims to give its students training in mind, body and charf acterg it aims to fit them to meet the world's larger problems and to direct their lives in whatever way they may seek expression. The most obvious purpose of the high school is to give mental training. It is our hope that the students leaving this high school in June will have received not only a group of organized facts but also a capacity for direct thinking, an appreciation of values, an open' minded attitude toward new truth, and an ability to interpret life with some measure of wisdom. Accompanying this training of mind must come intelligent bodily training. The def velopment of teams is only part of this program. Every member of the student body must be trained for healthy living by work in the gymnasium and by a wholesome social and athletic life. As important as physical training, exercise is the teaching of the value of a healthy body and ways in which to obtain it. Right thinking and good health inevitably produce right character-the normal char' acter which is able to adjust itself to the varied circumstances of life. The essentials of character which should be acquired through the four years of high school training are friendliness, honesty, loyalty, and willingness to work. Many persons have the idea that all higher education has as its purpose the avoiding of work. Instead, education should teach the student to find and to love his work, since if planned properly and done enthuf siastically, work will bring happiness which cannot be attained in any other way. Educaf tion should teach the student the values of both leisure and work. In choosing his life work the student should avoid a vocation which gives the imagined joy of idleness in prefer' ence to that of honest serviceg with the former vocation he will find an emptiness in life which abnormal pleasures will not fill. The truly educated man most enjoys life when he gives most to his fellowmen. Whether these june graduates enter college or go at once into the business world, they will be benefited by continued development of the habits that the high school has taught-the habits of right thinking, good health, and individual morality.

ANDERSON Wheelsmen of the School 1 f 1 HEELSMEN of the good ship Waite are the members of our caf pable office force. ln their work they leave nothing to be desired: though Miss Wemp, Mrs. Anderson, and Miss Beier have disf tinctly different personalities, they have three qualities in common, pleas' antness, poise, and efficiency. These wheelsmen are the workers who handle the business, file the records, and take care of all details and problems of school management. They ring the bells which direct the school hours in their regular course or add the spicy variation of an auditorium program. They give to seniors the slips which show whether their credits are weighed in the balance and found wanting. They preside over grades with cool detachment and send out a few-only a few, of course-unsatisfactories. To them come the students who have lost money and books or who have had trouble with obdurate lockers. Under their supervision, books are sold and atf tendance is checked. To count the number of trips every student and teacher makes to the ofhce, to count the number of questions asked and requests fulfilled would require the services of an expert mathematiciang yet each question is anf swered and each request fulfilled with courtesy and with a smile.

Glass History 711 ENTERED our Senior studyroom one fine, spring day this last month with the intenf tion of preparing my Latin lesson. Fortunately I had a seat by an open window which let in the gentle breezes and subdued twittering of sparrows. There I settled for an hour of intensive study on an assignment called a general review. The first declension! Yes, I knew that. Yawning, I leafed over about thirty pages and was soon upon the second declension. Again, to my satisfaction, I decided that it was needless to review this section, for who could ever forget such distinctive personal endings? The third declensiong my head nodded, and nodded, and I was asleep. , In a few seconds I heard a faint rustling of leaves which grew louder and clearer until I finally was able to distinguish definite words. This weakfvoiced orator was one of those huge dictionaries which had been brought down from 178. I listened eagerly. Do you remember the members of the Freshmen class in 1924? it asked the Nelson Encyclopedia in its small, piping voice. They were good friends of mine. To many, they seemed to be just an ordinary group, but to me they were of supreme interest. They little realized as they conscientiously pored over my pages how often I listened to their dis' cussions about school aifairsf' Look at this, it demanded as its pages opened to a place where the word ucofoperaf tion was heavily underlined. That is one of the most essential things in high school and this class gave an admirable display of it, especially in its participation in the inter' class English parties and in its ardent support of football. They showed this quality of cofoperation in working with their teachers also. I think they took to heart that speech of Senator Fess, which was made to them in their first year. He told them that 'At no time in the history of their country have young men and women of themselves than at presentf At least I judged they took it seriously from the commendable grades they received for twenty weeks' work and examinations at the end of their Hrst semester. With their new term came the promise of a mass meeting every Tuesday morning for the purpose of stimulating school spirit and giving educational entertainment. These proved to be well worthwhile. One of the best of these programs was the presentation of violin music by Abram Ruvinsky. How they enjoyed that! The remainder of the year passed quickly. On March fodrth, through the medium of the radio, Calvin Coolidge delivered his inaugural address to them as they sat assembled in assigned rooms. Soon another semester was overg examinations refoccurredg they were now ready to enjoy their first real summer vacation. From that time I lost track of them until I was brought up to this room, but my friend, Innocence, in that picture on the wall, may be able to tell you something about them. This demure maiden recently made a journey from 64 up to this place. I turned my attention from the dictionary to this young lady in the painting on the Seventyfeight -anffo JDQJDI-trainer .md Goran owi- front wall as she said, Yes, I heard them tell everything that happened in their Sophof more year. Like everyone else, students talk more of their pleasures than of their work and that is what I heard most about. One pleasant event of their Sophomore year was hearing Edgar Guest recite some of his cheerful poetry. As a delightful successor to this event came the second consecutive annual victory over Scott in which gallant Bartko was hero. That same week the team won city championship from Libbey. The year seemed to bring a whole series of pleasant events. Following this good fortune at athletics came a different type of pleasure, the presentation of historical movies by Yale University. For the small fee of five cents, early American history was vividly portrayed. Musical activities also played an important role. It was a real treat to them to hear the Oberlin Glee Club and the Toledo Symphony Orchestra. By the way, they were working hard that year, too. The Annual Board offered a free annual as a reward to students who obtained a page of advertisements for the year book. The whole scheme worked out well and as a result Lucile Reuthinger, Margaret Moorhead, and Laurel Morris won applause. Quite a change came that year also. As the class was nearing the end of the second semester, the students bade goodbye to their friendly Assembly Rooms and entered their Home Rooms. To tell the truth I knew little about them the next year, but it may be that some of these desks can tell you of their history. Suddenly I was startled by a deep, wooden voice which declared in masculine tones that he was quite familiar with their work in their third year because of the chatter he had overheard. I noticed that it was the very desk on which Carleton Vobbe's initials were carved. Q The first step these youngsters took in their junior year was organization, they chose Gene Winchester, Lois Skilliter, Kathryn Emch, Robert Price, and Gilbert Bartko as their leaders. Football next claimed their attention and for the purpose of stimulating its support, some of the English classes presented clever mass meetings on Friday after' noons. A few members of this class took part in the entertainment. Days passed, Thanks, giving was upon them, they won. Of course, the biggest social event of every Junior year is the .IfI'Iop. So it was in theirs. ' Several unusual events followed. Once they were assembled into the auditorium to be shown some of the mysteries of the telephone. At another time Sherwood Eddy spoke to them, leaving behind some splendid advice. The Student Council also did its bit. It planned the project for the Better Waite Week which was carried on in each Home Room to determine ten things Waite most needed. The year was drawing to its close. Late in April the class brought the Ohio Northf ern Band to Waite for a concert. The crowning event of their junior year was the Mixer. As fate would have it, the day was May thirteenth, the admission thirteen cents, the dances numbered thirteen, and the favors were black cats. That is why it was successful. As evening precedes dawn, so these last events closed their junior year, and in ding so, introduced the dawn of their last year at Waite. Senior years have a characteristic way of almost flying, they are so brimful of joys, Seventyfnine -Q- E IDKIUKRIQPICICH and GUIDED Gwkmfo- inspirations, longings, and cares that it is beyond me, a humble, lowly, wooden seat to unf fold such great moments. Instead, that faithful timepiece on the wall who looks on so vigilantly will reveal to you with pleasure some of the things the class of 1928 did in this last year. For the first time I took notice of the clock, both hands of which pointed to exact midday. It spoke in a ticking, gossipy voice. First, I suppose I really ought to reprimand these seniors for their lordly airs and overfsupply of knowledge, but that is hard to do because I liked them in spite of it. They were a jolly, enterprising group. These seniors were the first Waite students to use the petition system of nominating candidates. By that method the class organized in a short time with Carlton Hissong as chief executive. The officers with the wellfchosen committees have led the class successfully through the year. L'The seniors, with the other Waite students fought hard for athletic prestige. Some fought on the field while others did their bit in the bleachers. At last Thanksgiving Day arrived. Will anyone ever forget that they lacked but one point of making the score a tie? After the football season, the next important event was the Christmas party and class rings. To this day, I still remember the time they had in choosing a ring. Should it be number one or number eight? Within a few days, the seniors became even more shining lights in Waite, for they were now possessors of those precious circlets of gold and flashed their hands before the dazzled eyes of lowerfclassmen. 1 As the new semester began, they were on the homeward stretch toward graduaf tion, the clock announced as one of its black hands silently pointed to the half hour. For a second time athletics reigned, with basketball as the leading sport. Next in order came the Senior Prom which was the customary scene of gaiety and dancing. The rest of their social functions were but Hnal moments of their high school days. Tofnight, at their Senior Banquet, they eagerly await that priceless book which shall in after years recall to them the memories of Waite. Soon these seniors will listen to a baccalaureate sermon, will frolic on the class day, and then will graduate. The minute hand of the clock had now reached its hourly goal and as it did so I was recalled to consciousness by hearing Mr. Mathias decisively say, Two hours penalty for those who nap in school hours. But how trivial is a penalty when through its cause I had reflived my high school life! How full of pleasures those activities were and how resplendent with gleams of the light of the future. As I awakened from my dream, I seemed to be awakening to a realization of all that we had received from Morrison R. Waite High School. Suddenly I realized, with a cer- tain painful tightening of the heart, how many dear associations our school had for us, how the very walls and desks and clocks and books had become our friends in the four years we had spent there. I knew then that we would never forget Waite, but would keep the memories of our days alive by living up to her traditions and ideals through our life. MARY PRINCE Eighty -affffo 1Q7oriaiQ1imG and Goran omaha- fProphecy 111 T WAS a beautiful june day in 1948 as I walked down Summit Street and into the new seventyftwo story Valiquette Eff Wasserman Law Building. That morning, I had heard that the will of Genjalin Bump of Kustralia was to be read in the oihce of the famous lawyer, Grant Goo er. Having been well acquainted with Genjalins' cousin, Bimbo, when I attended hought he surely ought to leave me something. Still thinking, I stepped into a skyrocket elevator, a new invention by George Evanoff for tall buildings and skyrocketed up to the sixtyfthird floor in about two seconds. Ihere, the expert opera' tor, informed me that I had reached my destination. Looking up I recognized him as Steven juhasz. uWhy Steve li' I exclaimed, I thought you were a Football Coach at Yale. 'iYou bet, he answered, but just now, business is slow and I crave excitement. You'll get it, I thought. Everytime I get into one of those Evanoff elevators I hold my breath for fear that it will shoot right through the roof and up to Mars. In high hopes I walked into Coopers' law office just in time to hear the opening words of the will. 41 I, Genjalin Bump, hereby divide all my property and possessions as follows: My mansion to Earl Hunter. He must see that it is in good condition and always keep open house for my old friends at Waite. My grounds and gardens to Merle Landis, who is to continue my special botanical research work and to provide for many outdoor festivities for the Glass of 1928. My gymnasium to Mary Louise Bowman and Margaret Robins that they may teach the world physical fitness. Tia My swimming pool to Gertrude Pryke whose duty it is to teach the newest popular strokes. ' Grant, who had been doing the reading, paused and cleared his throat. Thinking that he had finished, I was starting to leave when the sound of someone pronouncing my name made me prick up my ears. Grant had resumed the reading. And last but not least, I leave 550,000 to Ruth Muench on the condition that she spend all of it within one week after the reading of this will for the purpose of looking up the class of 1928, and for helping out any of her classmates in the financial line. Hurray! I thought, this is what I've always wanted to do. Now's my chance. Grant told me that the money had been transferred to the new bank around the corner of which Gene Winchester was president and er, vicefpresident. You'd better hurry over there now, advised Grant, the bank will close in about five minutes. I took the identification card he handed rT?Hth a hurried Thank you and proceeded to make a hasty exit. A bit too hasty perhaps for I almost knocked over Leslie Brown who was coming in with a huge armful of books. Oh yes, Les was now oflicial Bookkeeper for the lawyers of the building. I've always said it takes a big man to carry big books. There was no time to talk things over so after asking his pardon I again resumed my speedy journey to the bank. Ah! just in time. The dignified looking bank detectives whom I recognized as George, Young and William Brown were already making ready to lock the doors. Of course, seeing it was I, they allowed me to enter and I made my way to the teller's window where Gladys Bailey reigned. On seeing her, I asked if she knew what had become of Margaret Moor' head. T -WT' Oh yes, she replied, Marge is bank secretary here and Neva Gorey is treasurer. Goodness, how smart some people are. I thought. Then I told Gladys all about the will and my share in it, and she very obligingly handed me the 350,000 as though she were perfectly accustomed to handling such large sums of money. She seemed quite interested in my problem of looking up the rest of our class and after asking her opinion as to how the money should best be spent, she suggested, Why don't you buy a new lieuthinger aerof plane? Calvin is making planes now that go 500 miles an hour. You could easi y travel all over the world to visit some of the far away members of our class within a week's time. Eighryfone That sounded good to me. I did feel a bit out of date driving around an almost ex' tinct automobile with everyone else using aeroplanes for transportation. That's a good suggestion, I said to Gladys, and I'm going right around to Shames and Shamy's retail store to get one. In a few minutes I found myself in the subway going under the Maumee River to the East Side which was an important part of the downtown section and where I intended to go aeroplane shopping. On the way over I was reminded of the many times I used to walk across old Cherry Street Bridge which was now a thing of the past. Thanks to Genevieve Musson, who just hated to have her hair blown about as she trudged faithf fully, twice a day across the bridge to school and back, we now had a sub. Genny merely argued with the city officials on that point until they were tired out. Then she completely defeated them by ending her argument in French. The next day the contract for a subway was given to the Bolbach and Bernhagen Engineering Company, who finished it in record time, while Mayor Hissong appointed Genevieve assistant arguer under Laura Taylor, the Chief. A flash of light! Ah! I was out in the good old fresh air again and proceeded to drive across Front Street when a shrill whistle arrested me. I stopped and watched an irate traffic cop come toward me with a sinking heart. 'LSay! young lady, he began in fierce tones, what's the idea of going right through the stop signal. Do you want a ticket for- Well of all people, Ruth! Whold a thought you'd be so dumb. In astonishment I looked up and recognized Carlton Hass as my ac' cuser. Having regained my courage again, I retorted. Well, you're not so smart. just look at the traffic tiefup on your corner now! Carlton could always take a little joke and as he went away laughing I continued to drive down the street until I reached the big store where our old friends james Shamy and Abe Shames were on the 16th floor which later turned out to be the roof. Martha Herman who seemed to be in charge of this department, approached with a beaming smile. L'Anything you'd like to look at in planesf' Why yes, what kind have you and why are they on the roof? I asked. 'lOh, she replied we can demonstrate them to our customers by driving them out over the city a bit, and as for the kind of planes we carry, they are the Hockenbergers, Mahaffeys and Reuthingersf' Those names sound familiar. Don't they belong to Fred, Mary, and Calvin? I ventured. L'Exactly, answered Martha, and now you'll probably want to know the merits of each plane. Fred made a plane which is intended for local flights. just a little family bus for a Sunday afternoon outing down to Florida or California. Mary's plane is j mst about the same, except that it is a lady's air car fully equipped with a mirror, vanity case, umbrella rack, and whatfhavefyouf' And how about Calvin's? I queried. Oh, Martha explained, Reuthinger planes are really a secret invention on the part of Calvin. They are able to travel 500 to 700 miles per hour and can make 100 miles per gallon of gas. This plane is intended for long distance flights. I'll take one, I decided, how much is it? There's a sale on them today, only S20,000.89, said Martha modestly. They're asking 520,001 for them at other stores. It's a good thing that I got that 350,000 to help me out, I thought as I wrote out the check for my purchase. It,s quite an extravagance, but it will do aworld of good if' I can travel all over to trace the lost nineteenftwentyfeighters. As an afterthought I added, Where can I receive instructions for running this plane? i'That's up to Calvin's sister, Lucile. She instructs all of our buyers, explained Martha. Just a moment, I'll call her. Oh, Lucile, there's a job waiting for you I she sang out. In a second Lucile herself appeared in a chic flying costume designed by Elsie Krob. Well, Hello stranger! she laughed, what's on your mind, do you want to take the air? Good guess! I answered. Will you teach me to navigate about a bit? just show me the throttle and the brakes and I'11 probably be all right. uToo bad, but all there is to the control system is a set of dials, explained Lucile. The newest planes are run like the oldffashioned radios. Suppose we take a little ride so you can learn to drive. Now just give this plug a slight jerk. I jerked, but not slightly enough for the plane shot up like a bullet and before I could Eightyftwo QZWD IQKTIIRIQHZH and GUIDED 6NkXm.9- gather my wits we were at a tremendous height. Of course I didn't desire to visit the sun, so I quickly turned the first dial I saw. With a sickening lurch we started going backf wards. Another turn and we were flying upside down. Say! how do you run this thing anyhow? I shouted in 'distraction to Lucile who seemed to be enjoying my remarkable driving as a huge joke. It must be admitted that I felt rather foolish when she explained the perfectly simple plan of operation. To my wonder all that had to be done was to tune in on the desired direction and speed while the plane did the rest. I decided that I had done quite enough for that day. As I now under' stood the method of piloting my plane which I immediately named Cal after its inf ventor, I decided to drive home in my oldffashioned auto and let Lucile deliver Cal that evening. On the way home I stopped at Day's Delicatessen for a yard of Summers' Stylish Sausage and a dozen of Formans' Fashionable Friedcakes. Preparing a large supper did not strike my fancy, not if I wanted to take a good rest before setting out on my inf tended trip around the world the next morning. Adding to my purchases a quart of Popoffs' Potatoe Salad, I made for home, ate my little repast, read the funnies, enjoying most of all the comics by Graham Smith, Pat Higginbothan and Lois Robinson, then I hopped into bed. I might add that my bed was equipped with a Slumber Spring, the kind that sings a little lullaby instead of squeaking, a device which was perfected by Gordon Stoddard and Charles Willford. Their slogan was Solid Comfort plus a Tune. I had always thought they followed that motto even in high school. Bright and early the next morning I jumped into Cal and tuned in for Washington, D. C. An hour later I was walking past the Capitol Building. Who was that familiar figure walking down the Capitol steps with such a dignified air. I looked again and per' ceived that it was none other than the Speaker of the House himself, Senator Mauter. Hello, Aloysiusf' I called. What's the political news, Oh, Hello, he answered, what newspaper do you write for? 'Tm not a reporter, I'm just rounding up our classmates and want to know if any have gone in for politics. I explained. 'LOh yes, I see now, he mused. Well, William Basco and Merlin Berry are both senators, Rollo Heebsh is Secretary of State, Lois Best is Secretary of War, and Carleton Vobbe is going to run for president this fall. Thats a fine report. Do you know of anyone else in town? I queried. No, that's all in Washington, he told me. You'd better try another place. From Washington, I made for Atlantic City, where I witnessed a bathing beauty contest. Among the contestants I noticed Jean Shocker, Ruth Arduser, and Edith Farrel giving their sweetest smile to the judges who were none other than Francis Gummow, Stanley White and Max Ferrenberg. Poor fellows, how I did sympathize with them! I didn't wait to see the results for I was eager to hurry over the country. Not knowing where to go next, I decided to take a chance. Shutting my eyes, I gave the dial a slight turn and waited to see where I would land. After a short time, twenty minutes perhaps, Cal landed in the middle of Raymond Cairls' corn field. I remember, how that boy used to crave a farmer's life back in '28. Raymond came running up to see how much damage I had done to his corn in landing. On seeing me he just grinned and said, Hello, birdie, I almost thought for a minute that I'd have to turn you over to the chief of police in the next town. What is the next town, I inquired, and who's constable? Oh, didn't you know, he asked in- surprise, 'Lwhy it's Drakeburg, founded by James Drake, and the chief of police is none other than Floyd Frost himself. Maybe you'd like to know that your old friend, Virginia Wheaton, is the mayor of Drakeburg and that Paul Crawford is the mayor's chauffeur. Is that the same Drakeburg that is threatening New York City? I queried. The very same, answered Raymond, it's right in the center of New York State. Such luck! I would have just enough time to fly over to Drakeburg for lunch, I thought, glancing at my Marble watch, Cnot that it in any way resembled a marble, it received its name from Albert Marblej the famous nonstop watch maker. Soon I found myself in Draketown, and parked Cal in front of Unser's Cafeteria. Wondering whether Elizabeth Unser had gone into the terrifying task of pacifying hungry people I entered and found that I was right. Elizabeth was not in at the time, but I filled my tray and proceeded to find a table. Thank goodness, I wouldn't have to eat alone, there was Golda Cowie at a table all by Eightyfthree if -CWB lQ?UlIRIQPIl3CEi and GCGDICOD 6Nhm.9- herself. We talked about everything under the sun, but, she would not tell me her present occupation. You'll find out soon enough, don't worry, she smiled, as we parted outside of the cafeteria. Puzzled, I returned to my plane to find a yellow tag attached for parking overtime. About a block away, a whistling cop who very closely resembled Steven Banvas strolled innocently down the street. The ticket stated that I was to appear at court within twentyffour hours. Not exactly relishing the idea, I nevertheless decided to have it over with as soon as possible and went to the designated court immediately. Hello, you here so soon? I heard a strangely familiar voice addressing me. Following the sound, imagine my surprise in discovering that Goldie Cowie, from her position at the judge's bench had spoken. She continued, L'I'll excuse your offense this time, but suppose you stay a while and see how we hold court. Gladly, I consented, and seated myself beside her as she requested. Here comes the next case now. We'll make short work of it, Golda laughed, as I saw Harold Myers and Lloyd Huntsman, preceded by their respective lawyers, George Hemminger and Forest Kroetz, enter. Behind them, came William Knoblauch limping along with a sour expression on his face. How do you do, folks, what's on your mind? asked judge Cowie informally. Then there was a clamor, with everyone trying to talk at once. The situation was relieved when the floor was given to George Hemminger, representing Harold Myers. As he told the story, I concluded that Harold was a medical doctor and Lloyd Huntsman, a chiropractor. Quite a while ago they had decided to use their respective talent on a patient who had the gout. Whichever one cured the patient was to receive S500 from the other doctor. As it was, no decision could be formed as to who cured the patient. Who'se the patient? inquired Golda. William Knoblauch rose, saying, 'Tm the patient. Neither of those two doctors cured me. I bought myself some of Elizabeth Clarks' Gout Getter and that helped it, only it's in the other foot now. We'll give the jury two minutes to decide the case, announced Judge Cowie. From the jury box filed Anna Rossi, Evelyn Shock, Alice Church, and Walter Vye. Walter, as foreman of the jury rose after two minutes and said, We, the jury think that the case is not ready for decision since the patient is not cured. Goodbye fB500,'l lamented Drs. Myers and Huntsman. How can we carry on our pracf tice without funds. Slipping some bills into her hand, I told Golda about Genjalin Bump and she in turn, gave each of the doctors S500 and S25 to the patient to buy some more Gout Getter saying it was the decision of the court. She dismissed the case and asked the court stenographer, Ethel Pappajohn to file the case. I hadn't seen her before for her desk happened to be behind a pillar where she had been tapping away busily on a Silcox silent typewriter. That's all for tofday, said Golda. This court is run by appointments and there are no other cases listed for tofdayf' Well, in that case, I may as well hop off this continent and extend my search. Where's a good place to go to see my classmates? I asked. Why not fly to Paris? she suggested. It's still as popular as it was in Lindy's day. Thanks for the suggestion, I called back to her as I found myself once more whizzing through the the air. All was well until I was about four hundred miles away from the mainland. Then to my horror, the engine started to sputter and miss. Heavens! What was wrong? Then it dawned on me. Thoughtlessly I had forgotten to buy gas before I started on my Trans' atlantic Hop. There wasn't much time to think about it now, however, with L'Cal acting like a bucking broncho. Frantically I looked about for land but I might as well have looked for a palm tree at the north pole for all the good it brought me. Guess I'll have to swim back, I thought ruefully or maybe one of those beckoning sharks will give me a ride. My reflections were suddenly cut off by a loud roaring. Hello, called a voice, what's the matter, want me to tow you in? An aeroplane was flying along beside me and a much behelmeted, begoggled pilot had addressed me. I called back, 'Tm out of gas. My rescurer tossed me a rope which I quickly tied to my plane and then to my alarm, walked calmy from the leading plane to mine on the rope. I was now more terrified than before with no one to guide the plane ahead. The pilot was now tranquilly stepping into my plane and surely I must have looked like a scared rabbit just then for my visitor laughed, saying, 'iOh Ruth, shame on you, don't you even know me anymore? Here, I'll Eightyffour -Qtlb IQXUIHRIQIGG amz GUIDED 6 9- take off my goggles and helmet. It's not quite as windy in here. I stared in unbelief. Alma Meyers, an air pilot! Where did you ever get so much nerve to walk over on that rope? Will your plane run all right without you guiding it? Where are we going? I shot at her. Just a minute, one at a time, Reddyf' she laughed. You know, I'm a dare devil pilot along the coast, and the funds go to the orphans' home, and don't worry about my plane. It works just like yours with a radio dial. Answering your last question, I was going down to the Bermudas to visit my sister Erma and I've decided to take you along with me. You can fill your tank down there. We talked on and on about various subjects. I found out that Mildred Lark was a lion tamer with Carl Voegeli's Circus and that Edith Alcock, Dorothy Doan, and Ruth Catchpole had taken up the art of baking chocolate cake in Florida. Harry Whitmer had just returned from the wild and Wooly West, disgusted because he coundn't ind any Indians, and to make him feel better, George Zillien, Robert Luzius, and George Wilson had started a Wild West show. Before we realized it we had landed at St. George, a picturesque harbor town which was at one time the capitol of the Islands. Since the island was composed almost entirely of rock, all that had to be done was to go into the backyard, cut out enough sandstone for a house and set it up. That's why I noticed such long faces on Lawrence Whechtel and Carl Bowman who were sitting moodily on the pier, for they told me they were contractors out of work since the natives desired to fashion their own homes. Later on however, they announced brightly that they were going to Brazil to build a mansion for the newly rich coffee grower, Iva Lehman. She surely wouldn't want to live in just an ordinary mansion now since Ella Daubner had drawn for her that striking plan for a beautiful ultra modern villa. We left them waiting for the next boat to South America and proceeded to pay a visit to Erma Meyers. Smell those cherry pies, said Alma, as we came to a stop in front of a creamy sandstone bungalow. That's where Erma lives, I can tell by the smell of her pies. It certainly did smell appetizing. Leaving our planes across the street at a service garage, which I noticed was run by Freda johns, we mounted the steps of that attractive little home and were greeted at the door by Erma herself who was clad in a dainty Skilliter House Frock which had been inspired by Lois Skilliter, the movie actress. Of course Irma first of all introduced me to her dear little girl who told me that she was going to attend Helen jane Routson's private kindergarten in the fall. Then she gave us some of her fa' mous cherry pie which she claimed was made according to the recipe used by George Washington's mother when he chopped down the tree with his little hatchet. I asked Erma what made her pie so delicious and she told me very confidentially that she used Violet Carr's special process flour and Florence Long's shortening, she put it in a Richard Smith pie tin and baked it in a Blackmer Oven which was lit with an automatic Bassett lighter. I don't know just how she ever got the combination but it surely brought results. As it was getting dark, I decided to accept Erma's invitation to take dinner and to spend the night with her and Alma instead of trying to resume my journey. The table was covered with a beautiful Irish linen cloth which had been sent to Erma by Jeannette Higgins. As I understood, Jeannette had the monopoly on the linen industry in Ireland. One thing that drew my attention was her set of dishes. They were actually selffwashing and drying. Erma demonstrated them to me after dinner by just stacking them up in the kitchen and leaving them stand while we listened to a line program on a Tyll Radio. Tom Haydock's orchestra and the L'Twinkler-Twins Donald and Dorothy MacVay were the main features of the program. When we returned to the kitchen, lo and behold! the dishes were stacked up, just as we had left them but they were now as bright and shiny as though they had been washed and polished with the utmost care. Goodness, I ex' claimed, This looks pretty spooky to mef' Nothing spooky about it, answered Erma, L'Haven't you ever heard of Meister's magic dishes? You remember how William just abhorred washing dishes until he finally invented the selffwashing kind. I made a mental note to buy myself a set of those dishes some day. Early the next morning I was awakened by a Pelton Alarm Clock, and was almost tempted to throw a Beckett Brick at it because I couldn't find the thingfafmafjig to shut it off, but on second thought I decided to get up. After a savory breakfast, in which was included some of Hire's Cereal, I made ready for the next hop of my flight. In crossing Eighty-Jive -awe Mirranrme and Goran sama- the street to get my plane at the service station I was almost scared out of a half a year's growth when someone just beside me cried, Onions! Onions! Genuine Bermuda Onions! Only 24c a bushel! I turned and saw Richard Bloom pushing along a huge onion cart with one hand and eating a fragrant Bermuda with the other. Asking him how he ever came to choose this as his occupation, he answered, grinning, Oh, onions have such a strong appeal, you see, but I have a good method of preventing the natives from being en' tirely overcome. My partner always follows with some neutralizing agent. I looked and saw Al Schindler approaching with a cart identical to Dick's but laden with flowers instead of onions. At that, they continued on their way goodfnaturedly, while I went to the service station, had Mildred Andrews fill my tank with Dalton Gas, and bid good' bye to Bermuda turning the dial for Paris, or what I believed to be Paris. For a long time I saw nothing but a vast expanse of water and waves which reminded me of Richard Ricard's Water Waving Parlor for men only, back home. It grew dark and now I did become a bit alarmed for I foolishly had forgotten to take along something to eat. I firmly resolved to always carry some of Bernard Wozniak's concentrated Food Pills. At any rate, I didn't need any of Lola Gregersen's Sleeping Powders, for I soon fell asleep to the monotonous hum of the motor and when I awoke with the rising of the sun, trusty Cal was preparing to make a landing. Down below, I saw a group of islands, but the one tof ward which we were heading especially attracted my attention. By some means or other, it had been made to resemble a huge sandwich and even the houses, as I noticed on apf proaching were built to resemble sandwiches of every kind. Why, that must be Sandwich Island! I exclaimed, and indeed it was. Upon landing at this famous tourist stopfover I found myself surrounded by Sandwich Shops of all sizes and dimensions. One, of a very quaint architecture, attracted me more than the others, and being almost famished, I entered quickly. I found that Maxine Ogle and Helen Kitson, the proprietors, adored making sandwiches. Their shop was said to be the best on the island and after sampling some of their wares Cpretty big samples, at that!D I was under the impression that it was the best in the world. just for fun, I offered Max and Helen some of the money which had been assigned for me to spend on my former classmates. Oh, chirped in Helen, we wouldn't refuse anything like that. How much could you spare? Are you serious? I asked, thinking that their business was fairly prosperous. Could you really use some capital? 'LUse it! exclaimed Max, Well, I should say! We're in desperate need of one of those Osterman and Rieley Sandwich Automatics which is capable of turning out 355 sandwiches per minute, for our trade is becoming too big for us to handle. Theone Marti, a friend of mine, could get us one cheap, for only 59,000 because she is assistant manager of the McKinley, Roberts Ee? Burdette Corporation which handles this machine, they need the business, too. All right, you'l1 get it if you'll tell me truly what became of the Price brothers. According to what I've heard, they're doing everything from selling shoes to making powder puffs. I'd have told you anyhow, laughed Max, just before you came, Harold Meyers delivered a cablegram announcing the success with which Bob had met at his first public banjo concert. Playing on a Greenburg Banjo, he presented a novelty number, the joint Symphony composed by Martha Burket, Wilma Bruggeman and Mary Prince. The harmony was remarkable, having been worked out by Dorothy Flatt, and of course this number, along with Why must I be a Bachelor by Ross Scott, made the concert such a success that Bob's brother, Bill, was busy for the next twentyffour hours counting up the money which was taken in. I have some good news, too, added Helen. Do you remember Philip Ball? He now holds the title for being the World's Tennis Champion. Mellen Bitter, representing all the Chamber of Commerce, presented him with a silver tennis racquet and Elinor Hennan, Dorothy Hygon, and Maxine Floyd awarded him the trophy in the name of the Fair Ladies of the world. Now, isn't that just perfect? L'More than that, I answered, looking out into the street, where I noticed for the first time that although it was perfectly smooth, it appeared to have the texture of a toasted sandwich. 'LHow are these streets made and by whom?', I queried. Eightyfsix -fLlE IIPCCIIRIQIIZCH and GCOJIIZIUD Oh, said Max, 'ithe effect is obtained by using equal parts of Brockseker's readyf tofpour concrete and Rosene's Magic Preparation. This kind of street is to be found only in the Sandwich Islands, and is constructed by Ruppel and Klotz, Paving Contractors. For a fact, the street looked almost good enough to eat, but woe unto him who should choose to take a bite out of the pavement! Probably that was why Cas I discovered laterj Zora Powlesland had become a dentist on the island. Zora of all persons, who wouldn't have had the heart to swat a fly when she attended Waite. It was, however, quite by accident that I discovered her occupation. Helen and Maxine had offered to show me a bit of the town, and as we rambled slowly along Hamencheese Avenue, we soon came to a queer, toothfshaped building. Here's where Dr. Powlesland wields her art. Helen remarked, and straightway we proceeded to call on Zora. The entrance to the building was made to represent a cavity in the tooth which led up a flight of steep stairs. 'iWhy, oh why, must all dentist's offices always be approached by such a breathftaking flight of stairs, I pondered as we ascended, but that seemed to be a question which only a dentist himself can answer. It might be that he wants the patient so out of breath that he cannot talk back when he suggests pulling a dozen or so of teeth. At the top, we came to a door upon which he read the words Dr. Z. PowleslandfAbsolutely Painless Dentist, and entered, only to hear a series of very painful groans which issued from the chamber beyond. We were in a comfortable waiting room, furnished with immense Kempthorne Komphy Chairs, the kind that sink to such an extent that it requires a great deal of effort to get out of them again. This was undoubtedly done to keep the patients from leaving before their turn. Each of us took possession of a chair and a magazine which is always present in a dentist's office, and proceeded to wait until the doctor had finished with her groaning patient. Lookf ing through my magazine, I came upon an article by Florencetta Wilson, entitled, The Easy Road to Beauty. Quoting from her article: To keep the skin smooth and white, I always use 'Marie Doyles' Facial Cream. Mollie Field's Tooth Paste keeps my teeth like pearls and to keep my eyes healthy and clear, I find that a few drops of Josephine Haddad's Eye Life is beneficial. Of course, to be really attractive, it is essential to keep your hair glossy and neat. For those with light or auburn tresses I highly recommend Mildred Waite's shampoo, and for those with dark hair, Bulah Geha's Preparation is the best on the market. Another important duty is to keep the hands and finger nails looking as they should. By applying some of Laurel Morris' Hand Lotion after washing my hands, and by using Elinor I'Ieath's Liquid Nail Polish which actually stays on six weeks, my hands are always in the finest condition. There was quite a bit more to the article but at this point the door opened and the nurse, whom I recognized as Anna Tiedjen, came out and told us we were next. As soon as she recognized us, however, she laughed and changed her businessflike manner. Who was the patient who did all the moaning? we all asked. His yell sounded strangely familiar. It ought to be, responded Anna, here he comes now. Out of the dentist's office, came LeRoy Schultz, grinning for all he was worth, though why he should grin,we could not understand. uWell, LeRoy, chided Maxine in fun, uyou don't look so much hurt that you had to moan and yell as you did about having a tooth pulled. Your error, he retorted, laughing, I didn't have my tooth pulled. I only came here to develop that wonderful yelling voice that I acquired as cheerleader at Waite, for you see this is the only place where I can exercise my lungs without having the entire police force at my heels. Isn't that the truth?', This last was addressed to Dr. Powlesf land herself who had appeared in the doorway to see what all the commotion was about. It must have been an hour or so before we again found ourselves walking down the street, there was so much to talk about. At length Helen said, I just thought of someone else here that you'd like to see. Who? I asked. i'Eollow me and you'll soon End out, she said in that tantalizing way of hers. 'iBut I'1l give you just one hint. She is highly renowned as a seeress and is known to the world as Madame Sistomine. Eighty-seven -Q- E IQKKIIRIDIDGK and GCGJICHUJ 6 9- That hint only made the mystery more profound, but as we stopped before a large, beautiful mansion I felt that I would soon discover who Madame Sistomine was. As the door, we were met by an imposing yet gracious butler, Floyd Odeneal. We were ushered through spacious marble halls into a gorgeous room hung with rich velvet tapes' tries that fell in heavy folds upon a deep sable rug. Naturally, I expected Madame Sistomine to be dressed in the long flowing robes of a seeress, and had her pictured in my mind as a mysterious personage with deepfset, mag' netic dark eyes. I was right about the dark eyes only, for when Madame Sistomine en' tered I saw that she was none other than my old friend Carmen Emch, and furthermore, she was dressed in a modern and up to date sports outfit. She invited us to stay for tea, which was wheeled in on a Textor Tea Wagon by Laura Zraik. 'LI never knew, I said at length, that you could tell fortunes, by the way, why do you call yourself Madame Sistomine? just for the novelty of it, answered Carmen, and as for fortune telling, I'll solve the mystery for you. So saying she drew aside one of the heavy draperies and pulled out a queer looking instrument, which was a cross between a crystal ball and a radio. This, she continued, is what tells the fortunes and also shows you what is going on at another part of the world. Sounds goodf' I said, Can you tell where I am going next? L'Certainly, she answered, I see by this crystal that you will spend the night in Tokio. I also perceive that you have been aiming to get to Paris ever since you set out on your journey but you seem to be getting farther and farther away from it. It is destined that Paris shall be your last stop, and there you will meet with an exciting adventure. And now I will demonstrate the other good feature of this instrument, that of taking you to a place which you cannot very easily visit with your plane. Looking intolthe crystal ball, I could see a giant steamer plowing her way through some ocean, yet which one I didn't know until I noticed that at the bottom of the picture were the words, 'The Rover on her way to England' Peering closer the boat seemed to grow larger until I could see the passengers and the crew plainly. Proudly decked out in his uniform was Gilbert Bartko the captain, and among the crew, I saw that Dwight Beebe, Charles Denman, and Nelson Duvendack were deck stewards, Robert Dowling was purserg William johnson and Earl Rudolph enjoyed life as Hrst and second mates while, in the kitchen, whence savory odors must have been coming, presided John Petro as Chef de Cuisine. Among the many wellfto do passengers were Dorothy Ewing, Anna Greab, and Carolyn Farrell who seemed to be enjoying themselves in Klingbeil Steamer Chairs with Goodrich robes over them. The scene shifted to the ballfroom of the ship. Robert Cook's Orchestra was playing Bartlets' Touchdown Stomp as I could tell by the struggles of Harlan Diehr and Ellsworth Stowell with their instruments. As a novelty number, Rosemary Bird was favoring the group with a special step of her own invention. The ship's chaplain, Robert Goorley, looked a bit shocked for a moment until he tried the step himself, then he couldn't be stopped until the ship gave a lurch and he landed unceref moniously in Elizabeth Balaz's lap. Here the picture faded out and I saw the message Tokio is calling you. If the radiofcrystal ball intended that I should spend the night in Tokio, I thought that I'd better hustle, and hustle I did as I hurried back to the Sand' wich Shoppe with Maxine and Helen where I hopped into Cal , filled the tank at Kathryn Terpany's Gas and Lubrication Shoppe, and flew off. I arrived at Tokio about ten o'clock that night, and found my way to the nearest hotel. A big Halloran Electric Sign told me that the hotel belonged to Lucille Borchardt. My luck seemed to be increasing for there were quite a few of my friends in the lobby. With a Sherhock Holmes expression on her face, Myrtle Davis played the role of house detective perfectly and not to be outdone, Mary Wilkins made a fine clerk. Contrary to custom, the bellfhops were girls, being called bellefhoppes as might be expected. Among them, Alice Dominique, Ilo Palmer, and Rose Ferris were from Waite. They could hop too in their typically oriental costumes. The hotel itself had been built in true Japanese style by the Kasprzak and Kaliski Art Construction Company and the lobby was decorated with Laberdy Silk drapes upon which immense Japanese birds had been painted by the famous artist, Grace Babcock. Eightyfeight -Q 5 IQKIIIIRIIPIIICEI amz GCODIUIID 6 p' As I was quite sleepy, I went to my room, but found it almost impossible for me to go to sleep before looking at all the beautiful furnishings. The color scheme had been cleverly worked out by Helen Bruggemeir, who had taken up interior decorating, as Ethel South' worth, the chamber maid, informed me. Finally, however, I did Hnish looking at everything including the Linsenmayer Windows, which were unbreakableg the Crane Plumbing Fixtures, the Pankratz Door Knobs, and even the Geraldine Frantz Oriental Soap, then I went to sleep. About three o'clock in the morning, I was rudely awakened from my peaceful slumber by a frightful thumping and slamming of goodness knows what. Fearing the worst, that another Jap' anese earthquake had been let loose, I groped about for the light, but it was unnecessary, for it was a Fetzer MindfReading Lamp which turned itself on whenever anyone wished it. I must have wished pretty hard, for it did turn itself on, but still the racket persistedg only how it seemed to come from the room adjoining. Putting my ear to the wall, I could hear someone moving about in the next room, sounding for all the world as though he were practicing the oldffashioned Charleston that we used to do when we went to school. Well, I decided, if my next door neighbor can pound on the wall, I surely can, and rapping, not too lightly, I called out, What's wrong? Want any assistance? To my surprise, a voice answered, I certainly dog come on over, Ruth. Now, how does my neighbor know who I am? I pondered, as I made my way to the next room and entered. There, just as mischievious as ever, was Dorothy Miller, clad in a Japanese kimono about six sizes too large for her, throwing a queer looking object in the direction of a wildly buzzing insect of some sort. Lo, Rufus, she called as I entered, help me catch this bug. It looks like a fly but it must be one of those Chinese Dragons in disguise the way it pesters me. And to think, just yesterday I got myself one of those Nicholas SurefAim fly swatters and I can't hit a thing with it. With one final effort, she again threw the swatter Cthis was the kind that had to be thrownD and this time, it sailed out through the open window, the fly following to see what became of it. Well, that's that, sighed Dorothy shutting the window. i'I..et's talk awhile now, you'll probably want to know how I found out that you were here. I saw your name on the register last night when I came in, and I'd have come right over but for the fact that you were sleeping so soundly, and I wouldn't wake you for anything, she finished angelically. Why are you wearing such a large kimono? I ventured at length. 'Tm glad you asked me, don't you think it's pretty? You see, Alice Diefenthaler makes them, and I like this one so well that I didnlt want to wait until she could make one in my size. Anyway, I might grow to fit it some day. 1'iLet's hope not, I answered, or you'll surely have to make use of Wolf's Reducing Tab ets. Oh well, I wouldn't careg they've got lots and lots of Szabo Sugar wrapped 'round 'em, retorted Dorothy. By the way, she continued, can you go to the Athletic Meet with me tomorrow afternoon, I mean this afternoon, looking at her Pickett watch and seeing that it was four o'clock in the morning. Sure thing, I agreed, do you know who's taking part? Not yet, she answered, 'sthat's why I'm going. That afternoon, after a delicious typically Japanese luncheon at Alice Prather's Sun Yang Restaurant, we found our places in a huge modern stadium. I noticed that not only Japanese athletes were taking part in the sports, but also many others representing all the nations of the world. There was a fine wrestling match in which Floyd Siewert was was the triumphant victor and quite an exciting race in which George Wirwahn and Norman Witherell ended in a tie, leading the others by a nose. That's what we should term close scoring. There were plenty of strong men to go through their paces, and again, our own oncefuponfaftime Waiters, Kenneth Hawk, Robert Morey and Arthur Morse claimed the prize. As a closing feature, Wade Apthorpe and Joseph Arrigo fought a mock duel with wooden swords which Frederick Bollin as referee gave them. Both purf posely lost by breaking each other's swords, and in that way made the downhearted losers of the other sports feel better. The next morning, on Dorothy's suggestion, I left for Manila in the Philippines and Eighty-nine -Qc,lE IQQCJIIIRQIQPICICH and GCODIGIUJ 6 9- on arriving there, I was met by the Governor, Lisle Ayers. He showed me a part of the national guard which was stationed there at the time and to my surprise, the soldiers were all girls. L'You see, Governor Ayers explained, we find that it is more advisable to use girls in our army because they have more tact and use their tongues in place of bullets. Looking very natty in their modern Matheeff uniforms, were Elizabeth Kiss, Mar' garet Kohut, and Luella Hurren of the infantry and in the cavalry, galloping wildly about on their mechanical horses fthe other kind had long since found their way to Haase and Way's Glue Factoryl I-saw Virginia Doyle, Verna Freeman, and Ruth and Dorothy Davis. Knowing that Manila was famous for the Manila Hemp of which we see so much, I asked to see the factory where it was made. 'LWe don't call it a factory anymore, said Lisle, it's known as the Hemp House now, and all the work is done by Morril machinery. Where is it? I asked him. Right in front of you, was the surprising answer, for there was no building or any' thing resembling one before me. Lisle laughed at my perplexed expression, pushed a button that was on the sidewalk, and lo and behold, one of the blocks had shifted, dis' closing an elaborate and wellflighted staircase leading down to the Hemp House, for although it bore that name, it was not a house at all. it was a subterranean structure. The reason for this as I learned later was to save ground and was done on the counsel of Paul Busdicker who held the title of General Advisor. At the bottom of the staircase I saw Violet Veh supervising a part of the work of dyeing the hemp with Steinmiller Dyes. It was fashionable for everything, from Leavitt Matches to Uglic Skillets, to be colored a baby blue or pink, and so it was with the hemp from which not only rope was made but also hats, shoes, and various other articles. At the very front of the Hemp House was a little shop where the finished products were sold, and it was in there that I saw Colette Langenderfer in charge. After we had talked a while she showed me a valise made entirely out of hemp. This, she said, is something entirely new, guaranteed not to warp, tear, or even wear out, all for the astonishing low sum of two cents. I don't know yet whether Golette's perfect salesmanship or the perfect price sold the valise, at any rate, I had it when I again winged my way to the African jungles. I surely expected a sweltering climate when I reached the place, in fact, I had even purchased a few tablets which were guaranteed by their maker, jack Kenney, to make the individual entirely unconscious of the temperature. You can imagine that I was just a bit surprised to find a mild and perfect climate. While musing about this as I stood on the edge of a Belgian Congo Jungle, I was rudely jarred by an explosion about fifty yards from me. i'What could have caused it? I wondered as I hurried to the place where the clouds of smoke were the heaviest. Because of a pile of brush, I couldn't see anything until l was directly upon the scene. Approaching, I heard voices, i'Send up another shot of that Heilman Water and add a pinch of Schnabel's coal compound this time. Mystilied, I came nearer and through the smoky atmosphere, I discerned the features of Bob Schnell, talking to Paul Steadman and Robert Johnston. Hello, what are you doing? I called out to them. They whizzed around in a manner which betrayed the fact that they were discussing some secret matter. Then they saw me. Oh, it's only you, they breathed in relief. Well, we'll let you in on the secret, continued Paul Steadman, we're experimenting on a device which will correct the most undesirable climate and it seems to work. The only thing that's wrong is that we can't put it on the market or duplicate it because we're Hnancially embarrassed at this time. He means, we're just plain broke, cut in Robert Johnson, and that our invention isn't worth a snap without any capital to back it. HDoes it work? I asked him. It certainly does. That's why you find the climate so pleasant now, welve just lowered the temperature from 125 to '78 . That's proof enough that it's working. All right theng here's something that was willed to you by Genjalin Bump a few days ago, and with that I gave him ten thousand dollars which were a part of what was assigned to me to spend on my trip. Now, I thought in relief, we can have canary birds up in Iceland and polar bears on the equator if it pleases us. Ninety -Q.. E IQDUIGIIQIGCG and CCICOJIUID 6 9- At that moment, a loud bell clanged, and all three of the enthusiastic inventors shouted, There goes the dinner bell, come along and catch it before it's gone! I followed them to a sort of travelling lunch room, a Ringer Roller, I believe it was called not only because it rang and rolled but also because it was Elsie Ringer's own idea. Elsie herself wasn't on her Roller, but Russel Schroder, with a grin from ear to ear had charge of that. With deft movements he filled our Tait NonfBreakable Plates with a generous helping of Fehlberg's Chili and Wade's Spaghetti. Our lunch terminated with a dish of I'Ieilman's Ice Cream and a cup of Round's BevofKof, a beverage much better than coffee and as harmless as milk. From Russel, I learned I could find a few of my friends at a distance of three miles from there. Thais easy, I assured him, I'll just hop down there in my little plane. You'd better not try it, he warned, there's no place to land, and any way I've got something with me that you can borrow if you want to go. It's called a Sullins Jungle Creeper and has a hood which is supposed to protect the passenger from tigers, lions, leopards or what have you. With that he opened a compartment of his Ringer Roller and took out the Creeper which was in reality a combination minature army tank and automobile with the top heavily armored. Really, I would like to meet the lion that could break through such a protection. In a short time, having left Cal all alone at the edge of the heavy jungle, I wormed my way through the tangled underbrush. Such an army of bugs you never did see, I was certainly thankful for the bottle of Rudolph's Bug Killer which I found in the jungle Creeper. In the darkest spot of the jungle, a terrific roar almost made me jump out of my perfectly good Romer Shoes and the next moment a huge lion leaped on the top of the armored hood. I was scared stiff, no prevaricating either, for nothing in the world is more distressing than to have a growling, clawing lion on top of one, even if a strong wall or armor separates him from a desired meal. While I was wondering what to do, a loud bang sounded and the object of my worries keeled over. Come on out, you fraidy cat E challenged a brave voice. Well, as long as anyone else had the courage to be out, I left the protecting shelter of my vehicle and came face to face with Laura McEvoy holding a smoking gun in her hand. Where did you learn to shoot so straight and what are you doing here? I asked in astonishment. 'iWeIl, answered Laura thoughtfully, I've a combination of all sorts of jobs, chiefly that of being editor of the New 'York Sun. I'm planning on running a feature story in my newspaper and I'm out interviewing the wild animals for material. 'iAnd where do you live? I queried further. Look up and you'll see, she said. I did, and saw a house built in the trees, not at all a ramshackle affair. At my further questioning she continued, 'LPretty nice villa up there, isn't it. It's a Nopper Folding Shack and it really folds too without pinching ones poor little fingers. Come upstairs with me and I'11 show you around. She led the way up a Page Ladder, and although I didn't expect to see anything very crude, I was astonished to see the tree dwelling furnished like a real home. A comfy Nelms Davenport crossed one corner of the tiny room and even a cozy Whitcomb Fireplace had been added. On the mantle piece were several bronze hgures cast by Harold Dertz and in the center, a wax figure of the Prince of Wales, made by the waxfcaricaturist Glen Dickerson, held the place of honor. What did Laura ever see in the Prince anyhow? It should be mentioned that the floor was covered with so called trophies of the chase, that is, the pelts of the victims of her Falor Rifle. How can you stand to stay here alone? I asked at length, but before she could answer, a bevy of my old friends came clambering up the ladder, fresh from the hunt. In all there were six: Catherine Davis, Thelma Link, Ruth Lohfink, Noelle Baur, Edith Johnstone and Elfreda Heltebrake. All were skilled in the arts of the chase and in between times they acted as missionaries to several of the animals who were too wild for their age. Goodness, where do you all sleep? I asked again. Questions were coming fast and furious into my brain since I had entered this queer house. Ninetyfone ' .ajyfo Itvrirraiainca ,ma Goran osxxka. From a seemingly bare wall, several Buzza Disappearing Berths were pulled out in answer to my last question. It seemed that the walls held an endless number of household articles, too. The Brindley Vacuum Cleaner and the Bossert Broom, had a little niche in the wall as well as the Kester Kitchen Kabinet with its store of imperishable groceries which had been treated with Coon Chemicals. ' Wheel exclaimed Laura, sliding across the Lovell Linoleum, 'Lthe bunch brought home a Snyderkinney, now we can have a banquet ll' A Snyderfwhich? I echoed vaguely. A Snyderkinney, H Laura repeated. It's a plant which was discovered here in Africa by Kenneth Snyder and Robert Kinney, explorers, two years ago. It beats anyf thing on the market and it's big enough to feed a company of twenty for a week. See, here it is. She held out a sort of vegetable, not any larger than a Kecsmar Kookie, and at my perplexed look explained, All that has to be done is to slice it into a pan with a Stephenf son Knife which alone does not affect its proprieties and it continues to grow to make up for all that has been cut off, and until the strength is exhausted. Fine discovery isn't it? I agreed with her on that point, especially after I had sampled a morsel which rivaled all the good items of a Thanksgiving or a Christmas dinner. Before I left, I was shown several pictures which had been taken by the Brazeau Sisters at their Studio in Boston of various classmates of mine. There was Lillian Weber as a dancer, Lisle Milne and Helen Benton as concert violinists, and Marguerite Ricard as a quick change artist. Since my time was so limited, I found it necessary to leave and to see how Cal was getting along all alone at the edge of the jungle. My return trip in the jungle Creeper was uneventful and returning my borrowed means of transportation I decided to fly over the Nile River which lay to the north. If it hadn't been for two solitary figures which I saw from the plane, sitting on the banks of the Nile just below Cairo, I probably wouldn't have landed, but curiosity ruled. The figures turned out to be Reese Chapman and Milton Borchers. They solemnly informed me that theywere fishing for crocodiles to send to the Thayer Leather Works and I really had to believe them when they pulled up a crocodile even though it was with an ordinary looking fishing rod. For I knew they were using a Hauser outfit which was unlimited in strength, and they explained that they had acquired their own muscular strength through the faithful use of Sequin's TonefUpper. By the way said Reese, what kind of fuel are you using for your plane? 'LCas, I promptly replied. Cas isnlt any good, was his abrupt answer. 'LIt's too expensive and doesn't last long enough. Why donf t you use Elephant Feathers? Why I never heard of such a thing! I answered. The only thing it sounds like is Horse Feathers which Barney Google used to grow hair where it wasn't. And so it is with Elephant Feathers, he replied. They grow gas where gas isn't. Here I'll give you some, but don't lose them, they're very precious and were given to me by Reba Salter who discovered them. The funny thing about his statement was that it was true, the Elephant Feathers actually did grow gas when I put them into my tank. Thinking I had seen enough of Africa I made for Venice, Italy, the city of romance, but ah, when I arrived, I saw that that old historical city had become very, very modern. Undaunted by the streets of water, the people had found it possible to use hydroplanes and swift motorboats for speedy transportation. I surely sympathized with Raymond Bigley who was stationed on a floating island on one of the watery intersections, acting as traffic cop, and also with Cathryne Hesse who had her trailic director's station up in the air for the hydroplanes. Yet, for all that, through the efforts of the Beauty Spot Commissioner, Edna Rieman, one long boulevard through the center of Venice was kept free from modernism. Graceful Hornczi Gondolas were being rowed slowly about by the attractively costumed gondoliers, Charles Dwight and Lewis Dexter, and from the Ve' netian balcony above Harriet Mudwiler and Beatrice Rippey sat throwing roses down upon the water and watching them float away. I wondered where they had obtained them but all they would tell me was that they came from Verleah Tabbert's Flower Shoppe. In Venf ice flowers never became withered. Whenever they showed signs of drooping they were Ninetyltwo -Q E IIPKKIRIQIUCG and GCOJJIZID GXXKQ- immediately sent to Phyllis Frank's Posy Hospital where they were treated according to the Stoner Method of Rejuvenation. A little later I was astonished to see George Bauman walking along on top of the water. How do you do it? I asked. I just came from Wilma Millers Bootery where I bought myself a pair of Anthony Baloghls Water Shoes. They can't sink but if I'm not careful I might tip over, he ansf swered and immediately afterward he did lose his balance, he was completely submerged except for his shoes. A long Collins' Hook was thrust out of one of the doorways and the unfortunate wouldfbe waterfwalker was towed into the dry cleaning shop of Robert Farner. George was dry cleaned too, a part of the process having been to sit him under an Erickson Dryer. There were many such shops in Venice, probably because accidents like this occurred frequently. Come, folks, one and alllu bellowed a voice close to my ear, Come and see the show just around the corner! The voice belonged to Elmer Heider who was announcing some attraction of the day. Elmer told me that the show was worth seeing and that I would regret it all my life if I would miss it. It was held in the big Cover Auditorium just around the corner as Elmerhad announced but just which corner was a different matter. It was so far that I was compelled to take a Boros Hydroftaxi. The driver, Gladys May, told me that in Venice, everything was expressed as being just around the corner. Arriving at the auditorium, I bought my ticket from Ruth Mann and entered just in time to see Margaret Egley standing on her head and at the same time, balancing a bowl of Iris Fuire's Goldfish on her nose. I know it sounds fishy but then you'd have to see the trick yourself to get the full benefit of it. Kathryn Emch made the audience uneasy by tying herself into innumerable knots but she was perfectly able to untie herself without the aid of the stagefmanager, Maybelle Ewing. A clever clog number was given by Dorf othy Dunsmore, Ruth Cable, and Addie Cadaret and when Norman Young stepped out before the audience as a blackface comedian, he was met with such applause that the Automatic Lakatos Silencers had to be used. They were on the order of a hypnotiser and made everyone decide to stop clapping at the same time. The idea probably grew from the loud applause that used to be heard in our own Waite Auditorium. There was a special attraction on the program, much to my enjoyment. Rolland Buehrer, Paul Stutzman, and Alice Cottrell, all three, members of the Metropolitan Opera Company favored the audience by singing parts from the Opera Faust. Their singing had made it extremely popular. Between the acts, Elizabeth Schnell and Anna Keeton tripped up and down the aisles selling boxes of Rosalie Elsperman's Chocolate Creams. Alma Eyster who sat beside me told me that Rosalie was making such a thriving business because she covered her creams with a shell of Meeker's Chocolate and used Elizabeth Martha's Flavoring. After the performance, I asked Evelyn Keefer, the weather prophet, if it was safe to fly on to Paris, since the sky had become cloudy as though a storm were coming. Go right ahead, said Evelyn. Weather men can now control the weather and I'll see to it that no storm crosses your path. With that encouraging report, I said goodbye to Venice with its flock of motor boats and hydroplanes and at last I was on my way to Paris. Such a journey I will never forget. As I crossed over the Swiss Alps I saw the famous Dairy Company of Treter and Habegger below me and a little farther on, the Harrison and Holtcamp Embroidery Es' tablishment served as another well known landmark. Ah, at last I reached Paris where the Eiffel Tower, stood as a sentinel almost in the center of that wonderful city. When I arrived, a great crowd pressed about the tower, and, of course, as curiosity goes, I too pressed my way to the front after leaving Cal at Bosserts' Parking Garage. Soon I learned the reason for the crowd. Legrand Dieball, with breathtaking courage, was climbing the ironwork of the tower and now he had reached the top. With horror I saw him deliberately dive out into the air. I shut my eyes, not daring to look, when all at once someone took hold of my arm and said, What's wrong? Gpen your eyes so you can see something! I looked and saw Lucy Squeo, standing before me and laughing. That was only an advertising stunt that you just saw. Ninetyfthree .LM-so Murrarawrno .ma Goran Gwma- Legrand Dieball, the darefdevil jumped into the Housel Fireman's Net to test its strength. Although all Hres can easily be put out by spraying Opal Witherell's Wonder Worker about, it is sometimes necessary to use a net, this one suspends itself in the air by some unknown force and, of course, saves much effort on the part of those who would have to hold it otherwise. As the crowd dispersed, Lucy invited me to stay with her during my visit in Paris and I gladly accepted. As private secretary to the President of France her home was perfect and was surrounded by a beautiful sunken garden which had been laid out by Ruth Bolly, a landscape gardeness. Lucy's friend, Regina Wozniak was at the time teaching a class of French youngsters the art of gymnastics on the athletic held at the far end of the arden. g As I recalled, Madame Sistomine back in the Sandwich Islands had told me that I would have an exciting adventure in Paris. I told Lucy about it and she straightway suggested that we go out and find it. Strolling along the avenue, I was struck with the desire to visit the Parisian Style Shoppes. There is something in the air here that makes people want to buy, Lucy explained, nit's called Wiemeyer's Shopping Appetizer which is sprayed each day into the atmosf here. P We entered Madame LaFleur's Style Shoppe and immediately we were met by Delila Held who had charge of that particular shoppe of the LaFleur Establishment. Delila spoke French fluently now and had even acquired the art of speaking English with a decided French accent. mAh, how do you do, she sang, Is it zat ze ladies would like to see ze creations? Then she laughed, recognizing us, and continued in perfect English, 'hor would you rather look at just a plain dress as we Americans call it? She showed us a bevy of beautiful gowns, each one surpassing the last, and finally she breathed, Yes, indeed, they're just quillperihyformzeticf' '4They're what? I exclaimed. S'Quillfperifhyfformfzetic, she repeated slowly. I just found it in Lee Thompson's new dictionary and it means a whole combination of good things. 'LIt must, mused Lucy vaguely. Just look at all the Waite organizations that are represented in that one word. At that a brilliant idea popped into my head. Why not have a French Ball for all our classmates V' I exclaimed. I've got to do something with the money that is left over from the generous amount which was willed by Gengalin Bump to the class, and in this way, each member can get something out of it. Lucy and Delila were both enthusiastic over the idea and in less than Hfteen minutes, all arrangements had been made with the Social Commissioner, Beatrice Braatz and all the fastest planes had been sent by Alma Thompson of the AirfTaxi Company to call for all those that I had visited, for indeed, I had found every last member of our wonderful class! After the Ball was over, the most brilliant ball in the history of Paris, I lay my weary yet happy head on my pillow and fell into a restful slumber, filled with many pleasant dreams of the wonderful experience that I had had. RUTH MUENCH Ninetyffour - lQKlUEUlPlfCrCH and GICCJIUID GXXS-Lv fPresident's Farewell Address 1 Y Y My Classmates:- HE great day has arrived at last, the day that seemed for four years far in the future. These last four years have been like a journey on a straight and sheltered road. Now and then has come a little jog, a muddy and diihcult spot, but, in the main, it has been a pleasant and peaceful path. At last comes the final turn that leads to the crowded, busy, main highway. This turn is our graduation. It is a day that will always be remembered. Many other days, many other turns in the road will be forgotten, but this will always be remembered as the most definite turning point in our life. Now we must take stock of what we have with us, and plan where we are going in the future. In our luggage we have a character, not the hazy, illfdefined conception of life we had when we entered Waite, but a clearer ideal and hope. We have habits that are very essential to our success in life, we have moral, physical, and mental strength to sustain us on the journey ahead. Who has provided us with this necessary equipment? Our parents, our grade school teachers, our principal, and the faculty: to all of them we give our sincerest thanks for the help that they were willing and ready to give at any time. We can show our appreciation to them only by holding high their standards in our work. We owe a great debt to the community and state which, by their cofoperation in providing public education, have built up our youth. We must remember that we will take to the future what we have received from the past. Let us carry on our work so that those who have helped us may not think regretfully of the men and women we might have been. Our coming journey will not be so sheltered, we must become more selffreliant, choosing for ourselves the course to follow. Some of us will go on with higher education, others will apply their energies to earning a living. No matter which course we take, we must work with willingness, earnestness, and courage, Willingness may be defined as eagerness to accept our work not as a burden, but as a joy. Earnestness means determination to accomplish what we set out to do, to meet our difliculties, to fathom them, and to rise above them. Then last, but not least, comes courage, which has been lauded by Henry VanDkye in these words: Courage is a virtue that the young cannot spare, to lose it is to grow old before the time, it is better to make a thousand mistakes and suffer a thousand reverses than to run away from battle. We must keep alive a clear, alert, and sane thinking mind. Problems will arise in personal and social life which no one can help us to solve. They will be the test of our willingness, our earnestness, and courage. During our four years at Waite many of these qualities have been developed. In our every day work, in preparation and reciting, we have been taught earnestness. In our various social activities we have been given an op' portunity to show our willingness to work and ability to accept responsibility. In carry' ing high the ideals of the school we have learned courage. We will carry with us from Waite many memories, memories of these lessons we have learned, other memories of timid, insignificant freshman days, of the glory of our first social affairs, of teams and track meets, of plays, of auditorium sessions, of books and friends, of stately seniority, of proms, and rings, and these last wistful days. I wish on behalf of the class of '28 to thank Mr. Pollock and the faculty for all of the pleasant and profitable days we have spent here, and to assure them that we will work steadily and honestly to uphold the name and ideals of our school.

No, tardy. They will be in next year, although it does seem an outrage that Waite's smartest class should not have its pictures in the annual. We sophomores excel not only in scholarship, but also in activities and athletics. Beth Burman, president of the junior Friendship Club, and John Guss, president of the Junior HifY, are two of the most outstanding sophomores. On the football team this year Bickford and Molnar distinguished themselves. Bickford, Molnar, and Rufty played on the basketball team. Th Hon ll shows that many sophomores had excellent grades. Victoria Toteff and hose voices are heard in operettas, are also sophomores. Joe Moon is known a u 3 out the school for his ability as a pianist.

From the first days of school when they ran up the left side of the stairs and were not able to distinguish between the teachers and seniors to the end of this year, they have progressed wonderfully. You've heard of their splendid football team, haven't you? And of their basket ball team and girl gym leaders? Peeking into the literary society meetings we found quite a number of them present. The upperclassmen have been very much aware that the Fresh' men cofoperated with them in their activities this spring. From the interest these lower classmen have taken in publications we feel confident that '31's Retina and Annual will be a prize winner. The freshmen have not forgotten the primary function of the school either, as their scholastic records show. For them this year has been both a pleasant and a profitable one.

You know what that means to a girl like me. I've shopped and gone sight-seeing until Fm exhausted. Yesterday I had a most unusual experience. One of our party suggested that we go to Bierville, an hour's ride from Paris. When we arrived we had dinner near the famous chateau which is located there. After dinner we visited the big Youth's Peace Con' ference which is being held there all this month. Near the edge of the village, I saw a large group of white tents glistening in the warm sunshine. Groups of young people were strolling about talking earnestly. We were met by a welcoming committee which accom' panied us in a tour of the camp. Finally, we entered a chateau where we found French and German delegates holding discussions about their respective countries' problems and their relation to each other. Such a friendly and co' coperative spirit I have never seen. The con- ference made me homesick because it re- minded me of those happy meetings of our or- ganizations at Waite. Morrison, I can t tell you how chagrined we all felt when we learned there were but two delegates from the United States. More than one thousand delegates were distributed among the rest of the nations. Tell my friends at Waite that I have not forgotten them. It's bqdtime! so goodnight.

Waite High School is to consider problems confronting the school, to recommend policies beneficial to the welfare of the students and organizations, and to unify and centralize efforts toward creating a better high school spirit. With this comprehensive purpose, the Student Council is probably the most important organization at Waite. The Council has worked effectively this year. Interest in basketfball games was stimuf lated by the impetus given by a Student Council committee. The social activities were carefully regulated and student attendance increased through the work of the organization. The membership is larger than that in previous years. The presidents of the school organizations, editors of the publications, and a representative from each Home Room now claim membership in this organization.

You can judge for yourself whether this subject was fascinating when you hear it was Modern Women. The programs have been well prepared and the discussions have given much that is educational and well worth while to the girls. But this is not all that the girls have done. They have had many social activities through the year including occasional spreads after meetings. The Zets received the pennant for putting on the best mass meeting, a prize for which all the literary societies vied. The annual Faculty Tea was a great success. The most important event of the year was the Pandemonium Dance. The gym was decorated with all the bright colors and dark shadows of true pandemonium. The couple party in February was one of the most pleasant parties of the yearg it was made possible by the fact that this was Leap Year. The Zetaletheans feel they have passed a very successful year and wish to thank their advisers and others who have helped to make their days together enjoyable and worthwhile. Q gl A.

Q This year, the Q. D.'s have carried out their purpose by varied and interesting prof grams. In the Annual D. Forum football classic the Q. D.'s carried away the victory by a 19'O score. One of the mostt- asant events of the year was a party held at the AutofLite Club. The outstanding even g the year was the annual Q. D. dance. The gymnasium was transformed into an ela r te ballroom for this event. Long after the . .. have gone from Waite, the memories of their original distincf tions, the first to appe 't s year, will remain. The year's activities were ended with the annual banquet.

' The purpose of the society is to improve its members in public speaking, debating, and the study of literature. To carr out this purpose many wellfplanned prof grams were given by the members of the club, aided by their faculty advisers. Another feature of the year was the Forum's participation in the annual football and basketball games with their friendly enemies, the Q. D's. The noteworthy event of the Forum program was the Lindy Hop, given March 24. The dance made the members feel close to the hero of the skies as they danced beneath a replica of the Spirit of St. Louis. So well has the purpose of the society been fulhlled that it has roused the members who will remain after graduation to a new determination to uphold the standards of the society even more carefully in the coming year and to contribute to the growth and progress of this friendly organization. ara Siegel Jackson Bardsley Davis McCrear Gummow .

The theme for the year was L'Watchers of the Sky. Miss Goodall's Bible lessons were especially interesting and inspiringg each one was thoroughly discussed and remembered. Individual social service was carried on by every member of the club who befriended a small orphan from the second grade of the Miami Children's Home. As a group, the girls sold candy at one of the football games and at the Glee Club presentation. This enf abled them to pay a generous World Fellowship pledge which was made at the beginning of the year. Of the many social events the most enjoyable were spreads and splash parties at the Y. W. C. A., the Leap Year dance, parties with the HifY boys and banquets. The senior girls wish for those who are to carry on this fine work all possible success.

Summoning up its work it may be said that its activities were carried on with four institutions. These include the Friendship Club, the school, the Y. M. C. A., and the church. Forums were held at the Y. W. C. A. for the HifY and Friendship Clubs of the city. One of the Forums was conducted by the Waite Club. In addition to this the club held a party in October and a joint one in February with the Waite Friendship Club. A Great service to the school was the Freshman Mixer in September and a still more important type of work was the Vocational Guidance campaign during the Winter. As a minor act the bringing of a colored quartet from Wilburforce College in February may be mentioned. In October the club helped the Y. M. C. A. by having some of its members give Churches for the membership drive of this community branch. In the spring the club held a group of social gatherings at the Central Y. M. C. A. Last but not least is the club's service to the church. It conducted a group of about twenty meetings at churches including morning and evening services and young people's gatherings. To both the State Older Boys and the Northwestern Ohio District Conf ferences the club sent goodfsized delegations. Considering these events and others which cannot be mentioned it may easily be seen that the Senior HifY Club has completed another year of successful work.

Early in the year the ofiicers drew up a complete constitution. They added a new officer to their group of leaders, a program director. The members enjoyed two successful parties with the Junior Friendship girls, a Halloween party on October 29 and a Christmas party on December 22. At the meetings the members heard interesting talks by George Young, Mr. E. V. Reed, Rev. Mr. E. T. Burnworth, Mr. Steiner, Mr. Swisher, and Mr. Fred Klag. Mr. C. E. Lutz, one of the club's advisers, also gave a number of talks. He was of great assisf tance in making the club a success. The Junior HifY also conducted an impressive induction ceremony at the Euclid Church on February 11. This was planned so well that it was sent to the state HifY board. The members in a quiet way did many things to create, maintain, and extend Chris' tain Living.

The year 1927728 proved a successful one. Wellfrounded programs, including speeches by prominent chemists, were the order of the day. The club also visited local industrial plants. James Miller, the president, worked hard for the Alchemists. Due credit is given to the advisers, Miss Howard and Mr. Coontz, who willingly cofoperated with the club in every respect. The hardworking committees also deserve mention. The meetings helped to further scientific study among the members, to deepen student friend' ship, and to widen student interest.

At the regular meetings speeches were given either by members of the club or by prominent engineers. The joint meetings of the four clubs, Waite, Scott, Libbey, and Woodward, created a feeling of brotherhood and spurred the interest of the members of the club. What, ho! We cannot forget the distinctions, which were clever and attracted conf siderable attention, Summing up the year 19274928, a very creditable amount of work was done to further the interests of future engineers. The society may feel that it has a record to be proud of and that it has gained a place of high esteem and recognition in Waite High School.

The membership was lessened considerably at the first of the year, due to the graduation of many members. The second meeting however, found a large number of new members present, for the increased membership, credit may be given to Lee Thompson and his energetic committee. ' Each monthly meeting of the Optimates has brought a line program along with it, including talks on Roman life and short plays dealing with the subject of Latin or with the history of Rome. The club has not been purely scholastic, however, it has had pleasant social affairs from time to time. Under the chaperonage of the adviser, Miss Grace Gibson, the society had a jolly Christmas party in room 325, where gifts were exchanged in grab' bag fashion, most of the gifts being hilariously inappropriate. The january meeting was a spread at Kathryn Emch's home. The founders of the club are all to graduate in june, leaving the work of carrying On the society for the newer members. We wish them the best of luck and an increasing prosperity.

Reporter HEN Le Cercle Francais of Waite was founded, it was intended to help students of the school to increase their knowledge of France, its people, and its language. This purpose has been carried out with increasing success. The members this year have profited by corresponding with students in France, by the interesting talks given occasionally by members of the faculty, and by the French games which were played at parties. The club has subscribed to a monthly magazine, pertaining to France and its customs, which furnished material for many talks. A recognition service was added and a pledge formed. All of the members have faithfully kept the pledge. The success of the organization is due almost entirely to the efforts of its advisers, Miss Griffith and Miss Koch. With their helpful cofoperation, the members have found it possible to make Le Cercle Francis what it is.

The year opened with a Hallowe'en party at which each new member showed his artistic skill in making a mask and entertained the older members with Halloweien stunts. Then came the Cartoon Meeting, at this meeting the history of cartoons, the life of George McManus, and five cartoon skits from Martin's Boots and Her Buddies were given. At the Modeling meeting, gum and scissors played an important part. The Christmas Party brought to the members a famous pantomime, 'EThe Bashful Lovers and the Flappersf' Valentine photographs were the feature of the Valentine Party, they were taken with real cameras and mounted in handsome handfmade folders. Other important events planned for the year were a visit to Mr. Karl Kapper's studio, a talk by Cartoonist Gray of the NewsfBee, a final sketching at Mr. Lutzis summer cottage at Lakeside, Ohio, and the annual afternoon dance in the Gym. Much credit is due to the active interest of the advisers, Miss Carpenter, Miss Hart, and Miss Kershner.

A pitiful moan is uttered by the members of the Retina Board. They surely hate to write poems Slowly but surely, however, they do the work. With prose they even begin to show gleams of talent. The Retina is published six times a year. It is in charge of an editor and two assof ciate editors chosen by the publications board. The editor and his associates make up the magazine, deal with the printer and engraver, and assume the general management. They are assisted by a staff of workers chosen largely from the Retina class, who have charge of the various departments of the magazine. They gather news of the school, report the programs of the various organizations, record the alumni data, interview the faculty for facts, write sports, and collect comics. Illustrations for articles which appear in the Retina and cover designs are done by members of the art classes. The success of the Retina is due in a large measure to the artistic ability of our Nartistsf' The 'LRetina is financed by student subscriptions and by an advertising staff coin' posed of students. Not only the board but the entire student body is responsible for the success of the magazine. 1 7 Y 1 'Elie Annual fBoard HE Annual is the most treasured book at Waite. Alumni tell us that annuals remain in their possession long after other high school books have disappeared, old or new, the Annual is worth its weight in silver, if not gold. The work that goes to produce such a book makes it valuable. This year, before the seniors were fairly settled in their classes, they were requested to have their pictures taken. At their protests that it was too early in the year, the annual editor only smiled for experience had taught the annual board the value of beginning early. When the senior pictures were taken and all mounted in panels, the other pictures were taken and mounted. Through the year the art students worked on the book. The literary staff patiently wrote and rewrote articles for weeks before the copy was ready. Everyone responsible for the making of the book had Worked faithfully and patiently to make it a worthy product and representative of Morrison R. Waite High School.

Sincerely is undoubtedly the chief characteristic of the Waite Band. During the first semester the band was present at every footfball game. At the Thanksgiving Day game the band marched on the Held resplendent in their new uniforms. This is the second year that the members have gone into their pockets and purchased their own uniforms. Collections have been taken to purchase uniforms which will be the possession of Waite High School. The second semester witnessed a change in study from the marches and more simple compositions to the more classical compositions. At Christmas time the band continued the custom originated by Mr. Sutphen in 1923 of playing Christmas Carols. In April the band was heard in its annual concert- Student soloists were heard at this time and met with the wholefhearted approval of the audience as did the band as a whole. Mr. Sutphen is to be congratulated upon his splendid work. While it is not generally known, Mr. Sutphen devotes one afternoon each week to teaching Waite students who desire to play an instrument but lack the necessary funds as well as the instrument. Mr. Sutphen teaches the student gratis and the band furnishes the instrument. This is an example of wholefhearted cofoperation between student and teacher. Because of the work of Mr. Sutphen and the members, the band this year is the best Waite has ever had. One himdred forty LWB IQQURTQTUG amz GOJDD 6 Q- Waite High Orchestra fff HE Waite High Orchestra numbering sixtyfthree musicians has larger membership than it has had in previous years. Under the able direction of Miss Werum, the orchestra knows when, what, how, and where to play. It is taught the setting of the tempo, and it receives inf struction for effect, crescendo and many beautiful musical variations. All the separate units of the orchestra, string, woodfwind, brassfwind, and percussion, are blended into one immense instrument. . The Orchestra has displayed its talent in the many activities in which it has particif pated, among which are the accompaniments to the Clee Club presentations, L'Tulip Time, Napoleon Caught Nappingf' and the Annual Concert in the Auditorium on January 18 followed by a concert in the Museum of Art on January 22. The Orchestra went on the road, March 22, and presented a concert at Maumee. A little later, a morning concert was presented to the students to which a small admittance fee was charged to pay expenses of two of the members, Edith Denman, violin, and Donald MacVay, bassoon to the National High School Orchestra at Chicago. The crowning event of the season was the accompaniment by the orchestra of the May Festival presentation by the Glee Clubs and Orchestras of the city. This year the opera Prince of Pilsenv was presented. The Orchestra has had one of the most successful of seasons and is without doubt an organization worthy of our support. One hundred fortyone -awe Miniaiaicfca and Goinn emma- ' T U Q r Waite ' Clee Club iff GAIN Morrison R.Waite High School Glee Club closes an exceptionally successful year. In this, its ninth season, it numbers 74 members. The club has spent very busy days in preparation and hard work. On November 18 the club presented the musical comedy Tulip Time, before a delighted house. Aside from excellent singing and acting the wearing of genuine wooden shoes was a pleasing feature. The clubgs second appearance came on March 16 in the presentation of a more difficult work Na Caught Nappingf' The largest house in the history of Waite Clee Clubs greeted the singers and the cast and chorus showed their appreciation with an almost prof fessional performance, the elaborate costuming adding much to the attractiveness of the show. Early in May the Clee Club was a sponsor of an assembly program during which the club of '28 presented the school with a beautiful new garden drop and side wings which will help greatly toward the success of future performances. The Prince of Pilsenf' that rollicking, roaring yet extremely musical comedy of a decade ago proved a great climax for all the clubs of the city. The success of this show at Waite last year prompted its selection for presentation on the large Coliseum stage. This year a new plan was followed. An all high school cast, a picked chorus of 140 voices sup' ported by an orchestra of the best players of the four high schools gave the performance on an enlarged stage with an elaborate setting, lighting and costuming effects. The Waite organization was honored by selection of two of the uleadsm from her ranks as well as by the choice of many in the chorus and orchestra. The Annual May Festival has become a Civic project and bids well for even greater popularity under this new plan. All this was possible only by the unselfish, untiring efforts of the club's much esteemed director, Mr. Clarence R. Ball, and the club wishes to extend its sincere thanks and good wishes to him at this time.

During this last year the Alumni held several meetings including pep meetings before important football games. The Waite literary societies furnished the programs and their efforts received hearty applause. These programs were followed by dancing in the gym where old acquaintances were renewed and new ones made. The two social events of the year were the Homecoming Day including a dance, and the annual dance. We hope that Homecoming Day may become an established custom at Waite. A primary function of the Alumni association lies in the awarding of scholarships. Seventyfiive per cent of the annual income is used for this purpose. Last year John Molnar, Florentine Nierman, and Elizabeth Jewett received the scholarships. Florence Boycheff received the Virginia Boone Nauts scholarship which is awarded through the association. Is not the twofold purpose of the Alumni association a worthy one, the keeping alive of the fire of friendships, kindled during days at Waiteg and the helping of worthy students to higher places of learning? We of the class of nineteen twentyfeight believe it is a splendid purpose and hope we may add to its success in coming years.

For those who show honest and concentrated scholarship some recognition must be giveng therefore the Honor Roll has become a part of each year's Purple and Gold. This Honor Roll gives the names of the students in each class who stand highest in scholastic achievement for the past year. To be mentioned in the Honor Roll is one of the finest honors that can come to a student of Morrison R. Waite High School. At the close of the past semester, the following pupils lead the class in scholarship in the order named.

The girls are very pretty their dark hair and eyes. But chaiierons! they are everywhere. I took a girl Qplus her chaperonl riding this aftemoon.

One hundfed jiftyfsix -Q-. 5 ll?ElUI.?3.IlPICrCH and GCODDID9 6 ,9- Thursday Evening Almost bed time Dear Bob: INALLY all our hopes and ambitions have been realized for we received our diplomas last night. This was my first day of freedom. Surprisingly it dragged a little. Can't you hear me sigh, way over there in England? It makes a shiver run down my spine to think that my senior year is over. Occasionally when assignments were piled high, I envied you floating around the world in leisurely fashion but when I think of all the good times we've had I almost pity you. We've had a thousand good times, it seems, and every' one was different and thrilling. The first party came soon after you left, on Thanksgiving night, to be exact. I suppose you read about our defeat, that day we were not downfhearted because the game had been the most exciting we ever saw and it left us keyed to the highest pitch for the Varsity Dance that night. I wore the green dress which you always liked so well. The gym, itself, was transformed into a mass of purple and gold. We danced the evening away to the music of a wonderful orchestra. We chose the Chamber of Commerce as the place for our Senior Christmas Party this year. Right now I could tease you by telling you all about the delightful menu we enjoyed, but I'11 spare you this time. Looking the crowd over I wondered if there were any new dresses or new ties left in the department stores for every senior seemed to be wearing something new. To tell you the truth, Bob, I've always liked best the parties we have had in the gym. It is so much fun to see this big, cold looking room with its bare walls and professional atf mosphere changed into a beautiful ball room. The hrst to try the gym were the Peris who gave the Silhouette Dance, using clever black and white silhouettes to form a striking background to the dancers. just fourteen days later, on February eighteenth, the Juniors gave their annual jfHop, the Venetian Ball, they called it, in the newly decorated ball room of the W'oman's Buildf ing. The little coin purses they gave as favors made a hit with all of us girls. Mine was a pretty red and gold one. I suppose you are asking yourself, Didn't that girl do anything but dance? Of course we did, but I'm letting you take the studying for granted. I really did work hard either from habit or for conscience' sake. just when things needed livening up again the Zets broke the monotony with their startling Pandemonium Dance. Can you imagine anything more wildly mysterious than that? I believe those girls used every color in the rainbow and invented a few new ones for their decorations. Syd Friedlander and his Orchestra put magic, into music that night. Then it was the Forum's turn in the spot light with their Lindy Hop. Honestly, One hundred jiftyfseven -Q-. E PURPLE and GOLD 6 .p- Bob, you never would have recognized the old gym. Lindy , himself, would have ap' preciated the way the Forum carried out this novel idea. Last but not least of the literary society dances was the one given by the Q. D.'s. On April twentyffirst they gave their annual dance which certainly was a climax to those given by the literary societies. You remember that when you were a Q. D. they had the reputaf tation of never doing things by halves, and this year proved no exception. Up to this time the Lits had been holding the center of the stage but now the juniors come out with their junior Mixer, an afternoon dance in the gym. May fifth brought us the greatest thrill of the Senior Prom. Everyone there was dressed within a penny of dad's pocketbook. And right after this the orchestra, glee clubs, and bands of the high schools joined forces in putting over the gorgeous May Fesf tival. All of our expectations of a beautiful performance were fulfilled. I must tell you a little about the other parties and roasts given by different organizations. In the fall the roasts proved popular with all of us. And who could forget the good time we had at the I'Iallowe'en party of the Friendship and HifY clubs? The Leap Year Dance of the Friendf ship Club was lots of fun. I especially enjoyed the parties given by the Zets and Q. D's. at the Auto Lite Club. At the end of the year the seniors held full charge of affairs. May twentyfsixth found us at the banquet. And, Bob, it was so much fun listening to the history of our four years at Waite and to hear our futures foretold in the prophecy. But the best part of all was the distribution of the 'LPurple and Gold. Can't you just imagaine the thrill I got when I I came into possession of my own Annual edited by my own class? It was just wonf derful. It wasn't very long until we were all together again on Class Day. The usual events of an outing took place but with more than the usual amount of fun and frolic. Our baccalaureate sermon soon followed. Now we began to realize that our remaining days at Waite were few in number. The seriousness and solemnity of the message made a lasting impression upon all of us. All that was left for us was to pass our uexamsu and await the great day of graduation. It has come and gone, and I am sitting on top of the world with my diploma and many hopes. By now, I suppose you are wondering if I'm about to go into the business of writing books, console yourself for I'll assure you I'm not. Now promise, me, Bob, that you will write soon and tell me all about your life on the floating university. I'm waiting for a letter as big and fat as this. As ever, PEG.

Dear Friend: ODAY I visited some of the schools in Tokyo and found thengsvery inter' esting. You'd be surprisedito see what an interest the students take in athletics, es- pecially in different forms of ball and in wrestling. One of the American boys in our party, Frank Kellogg, became intensely curious about'the wrestling matches and asked a Japanese boy to show him how todo the jiufjitsu. However, the japanese boy was too swift in his actions, Frank was down in a second-and he doesn't understand it yet. Japan is an intriguing place--a land of rice fields, poppiesffflfapple blossoms, jinrickf ishas, and quaint, interesting people. I should enjoy a longer stay here, but we sail tofmorrow so I must start packing. I have, enjoyed my tour of the world, but I'l1 be glad to return to the oldmU. S. A. We leave in the morning!

Even the freshmen know that it was our Bill Zorn who stopped that famous L'Red Grange. Before coming to Waite he attended Steven's Point Normal. Bill believes in clean playing and clean sportsmanship and has so instructed the teams that Waite may indeed be proud of them.

Mr. Anderson is responsible for our fine track MR. HAROLD FLETCHER A green line, everyone said at the beginning of the season, and sure enough it was a green line with only one letter man back from last year. A little later on every one was saying, A line that will fight to the last ditch and especially when near its own goal line. What was the cause of this change from a green, inexperienced bunch of football players to a maf chine that would fight together for the glory of Waite? It was Harold Fletcher. An AllfAmerican Tac' kle at Chicago during his university days, he knew how the game should be played and he not only gave our line a thorough knowledge of football but instilled in them the Do or Die Spirit. Let us take off our hats to the man who knows his job and does it, Harold Fletcher. team and works as well for the development of a basketball quintet and a Hghting football team. His efforts do not stop there, for the freshmen and sophomores are drilled in gymnastics by Andy, Mr. Anderson's home town is Akron, Ohio. He attended Otterbein and later took extension work at Ohio State under coaches Wilce and Olsen. He came to Waite after teaching at Wauf seon for a year. Last summer he received ad' ditional training at Kent Normal School. Energy is apparent in every motion Mr. Anderson makes. Although he seems to be in a continual rush, he never neglects his friends and acquaintances. In all, Andy is a real worker and a cheery, likeable friend. One hundred sixtyfthree MR. HAROLD ANDERSON -QJHWE HPGIKRIQIG6 and GCOJJIZIDJ MR. RALPH SWISHER Were they good? Indeed they were. This year the Reserves were again represented by a fine basketfball teamg they owed much of their success to their coach, Mr. Swisher. Mr. Swisher also coaches golf, and helps with the varsity foot' ball. He received his training at Ohio Northern University and later coached for two years at the Tiflin junior Order Home. By means of hard work and perseverance he def velops excellent sports material. Do you want help in athletic or mathematics? Call for Mr. Swisher. MR. RALPH SWISHER MR. STEVE ROHLFING MR. STEVE ROHLFING My freshman team hasn't lost a game, can t lose a game, and will not lose a game. That is Steve Rohlfing's motto and it certainly is a good one. Steve himself has a splendid athletic record. He graduated from Wittenberg College in 1922. Durf ring his college career he was a member of the un' defeated Wittenberg football team. He also played with the basketball squad that was a contender for the Ohio conference title. During his six years of football coaching Steve has lost only four games. From his work with our Freshman team we know how good a football coach he is. In these same six years his basketball teams have won two unofficial state championships, two county championships and one district chamf pionship. Steve will always be remembered by Waite students for his strong and forceful personality. One hundred sixty-four -qyfffb IQJKIIIRIQPIGCH and GCOJIIZIUJ MR. JOE COLLINS 1 Where did you say he came from? Indiana, of course. joe Collins went to high school in Cadiz, Indiana, and later attended Earlham Col' lege at Richmond, Indiana. Besides that he taught and coached in Wilkinson High School in 1917. He then spent two years in the army and was historian of the Leave Areas Bureau in France. From 1920 to 1923 he taught at Knightstown High School in Indiana. You see, Joe has a splendid record! In 1923 Mr. Collins came to Waite and has been here ever since. Everyone who knows Joe likes him. Because of his friendly personal influence he has fulfilled his position as trainer admirably this year. He has proven to be a great asset in the development of our sports. MR. ,Ion COLLINS MR. F. E. H. ,IAEGER Mr. F. E. H. Jaeger is one of the hardest workers at Waite, he is head of the Commercial department of the school and teaches a full day of six classes, besides being Treasurer of the Athletic Association, which requires several hours of attention each day after school. His domain, room 107, is the Mecca for footf ball fans before the Thanksgiving Came. In Mr. Jaeger's classes, there are two groups of advanced bookkeeping students who are conf verted into clerks in order to help handle the rush during the scramble for the allftooffew tickets. To him goes the credit for the maintenance of wellfhandled system of finance for high school athletics. One hundred sixty-five MR. F. E. H. .IAEGER -QFJXWD EPGIKRTQPIGH and GCGJJHD FLOYD MIN SIEWERT What fellow around school answers the most questions? That's easy. The student manager. If he hadnlt wanted to answer questions he never should have accepted the student manager's job. Problems? My, yes! more problems than anything else. But Min', doesn't care. Hels used to them. He has solved them pretty successfully too. Helpf ing wherever he can, attending to unnumbered tasks, some large and some small keeps him hustling every minute. Min was not only useful to the foot' ball team, he was also captain of this year's bas' ketball squad. He isn't much in size, but he is there with the performance whether he is liming the gridiron, taking orders, or looping a fielder. FRED RUPPEL As assistant to the student manager, Fred rendered Waite great service during foot' ball season. 'LFreddy became head student manager when Min took his position on the varsity basketball team. The school as a whole may not realize the responsibilities conf nected with the work of the student manager, but those who do know that Freddy will tackle difficulties with a willing spirit. His cheery smile and red hair will brighten the gloomiest situation. CHEERLEADERS What could we do without cheerleaders? Well, not very much! Our cheerleaders, James Drake, Ted Evanoff, Orville Burgie, Le Roy Schultz, and Clarence Webber represent all the classes of the school. They have fulfilled their missions in giving us aching throats and in cheering the team to victory. 'LTed, Orv and Shorty will be back next year to fill their important positions. Jimmie and Le Roy will be graduated this June, but their enthusiastic leadership will not be forgotten at Waite.

During that season and those following Gilbert Bartko made for himself the name of one of the greatest fullbacks in the history of Waite High School. Geza, as captain of the team in his last year, has piloted his men with considerable skill. It is with regret that we view his departure. DONALD RUSS, CAPTAINfELECT At the start of the season, the only veteran of the strong line of '26 was a junior, Don Russ. After starting the season in a rather mediocre manner, Don began to improve steadily until the game with Scott, in which he played the finest game of his career. A noticeable thing about this end was his neverfsayfdie spirit, which he constantly displayed. In all sincerity, we wish Don the best of luck for a successful season next year. ART MORSE, HALFBACK Art completed his second year on the varsity by duplicating his fine playing of the season before. Relieved of the greater part of punting duty by Hawk, Morse turned his attention to running ends and receiving passes. We all know how well he succeeded. Art leaves in June. STEVE JUHASZ, END If Russ played stellar football on the right flank, Juhasz played as good on the left. Steve's big threat was running down on punts. His deadly tackling stopped many an opf ponent in his tracks. Steve will not wear a Waite uniform next year. RALPH BERNHAGEN, GUARD This man kept the line Hplungefproofu by filling the position of guard in a capable manner. Bernie, a W. A. A. man last year, has risen to the varsity in his senior year, and richly deserves the golden that rests on his chest. LESLIE BROWN, TACKLE If the opposing halfback tried the left side of the line we did not feel uncomfortable, for he was usually thrown for a loss. Seldom did a rival gain through Les Brown's posif tion. Recovering fumbles was his specialty, and quite an artist he was at it, too. Les receives his diploma in june One hundred sixtyfseven ,7 . -T .Q-JW-sa Mirrararoe and Goran omega- KENNETHHAWK, HALFBACK One of the fastest men on the Waite gridiron, Kenny was a bright light in every game. Besides being a flashy halfback, this brainy senior showed remarkable generalship at quarter. Good work, Kenny! J. CARLTON HISSONC, TACKLE The president of the Senior Class aired his athletic ability on the gridiron by playing a flashy game at tackle. Babe's strength was felt in every game to a great extent. His loss will be a blow to the line. NORMAN WITHERALL, END Another man who rose from the scrubs was Norm. After playing brilliant ball for the freshmen last year Bones was a first class relief man, filling in at either end or full' back with equal skill. He graduates in June. RALPH WINEBRENNER, TACKLE After winning an A. W. A. in '26, Wink stepped out this season and proved himself to be real varsity material. His excellent playing will again be seen on the line next year. ROBERT MOREY, CENTERGUARD After being an understudy to Toth at center during the first part of the year, Bob shifted to guard and here it was that he made his best records, culminating in his fine performance of the Scott game. Bob completes his course at Waite in june. ROSS SCOTT, HALFBACK Scotty, as president of the HifY club, carried out the Clean Athletics part of their program by half backing in a very creditable manner. Working up from the scrubs, Rosey made his in his senior year. Scotty also runs a mean 880 in track, and is quite prof ficient in basketball. HARRY WHITTMER, GUARD A in his senior year was Harry's dearest ambition and his deserved attainment. Few were opponents against whom he could not hold his own. Harry leaves this year, but his hard playing and plucky spirit will be long remembered. CONDON BAINTER, TACKLE A fighter and a gentleman who filled a responsible position in a capable manner. No more fitting epethet could be given to Connie, who was noted for his hard, clean playing. The age limit will deprive us of Connie during his senior year. One hundred sixtyfeight -Qzfffb Jmiriaraioca and GCODICIID Gwkmdp- LAWRENCE APEL, QUARTERBACK Small, but mighty! Mikes great driving power and keen headwork sent our boys victorious through some tough games this season. We will see Mike in the Bowl next year. ' HENRY LOCKERT-FULLBACK One of the biggest men on the team, Bud played stellar football throughout the season. His biggest threat was linefplunging, and he developed the fine points of that department to a high degree of perfection. Although he has already won two football letters, we still expect to see him on the Held next year. MARTIN BICKFORD, HALFBACK What this lad lacked in size he made up in speed and agility. Time and again Rip made Hrst down when others failed, and for this ability he is well known. Bickford will again wear a Waite uniform next fall. JOHN TOTH, CENTER All the Toths are football players, and John is no exception. John was an expert at handling the ball, and very few bad passes from center were noticed during the season. John expects to play more football here before laying aside his uniform. BARTLETT TEFFTMGUARD One hundred fiftyffive pounds of strength was this scrappy boy. His guarding was splended, and, when flanked by Toth, no rival back gained through center. This sophoa more can indeed look forward to more LESLIE PAGE-GUARD When Hookey got in the game, he always gave the enemy plenty to think about, and more to do. Leslie liked to guard, and a good job he made of it, too. He will be back again next year to fight for the Purple and Gold. RONALD CHISHOLM-CENTER Ronald's big job was to relieve Toth, and his proficiency at this task was excellent. As the Romans contested pro se quisque viri, so Ron always played 'lwith all his strength. He is a junior, and much is expected of him during his last year. One hundred sixtyfnine -q E 1l?cUIIPaIQ1Il3cE3 and GICOJICUDJ GSRSQ- The Football Season 111 ALL came with a rush in '27, bringing, as usual, football to the sportfhungry fans of Waite. Since the opening of school was delayed two weeks, the season was upon us before we realized it. We had little time to take inventory of our stock, but that little bit was sufficient to dispel our fears of a weak team. Gilbert Bartko, our star fullback for the past two seasons, had been elected captain at the end of '26. We had also Art Morse, Kenneth Hawk, Lawrence Apel, and Henry Lockert, all backheld men. But graduation had wrought havoc on the line, Don Russ being the only man to return. From the A. W. A. players we had Ross Scott, Ralph Bernhagen, Steve juhasz, Martin Bickford, and Ralph Winebrenner. The usual flock of candidates for varsity positions was out for both spring and fall practices. On the whole, conditions seemed promising for a successful year. On the Saturday of the first week of school Carey High invaded the Bowl as our initial visitors. Here the green line came in for critical inspection by all the spectators, and proved that it could ight under fire. The varisity did splendid work during the first half, and the reserves kept up the good work during the second. Scott and Witheral played brilliantly in the backlield, while Russ and Toth were powers on the line. Carey departed from the Bowl with a 52 to O defeat. Central Catholic, undefeated last year, crossed the Maumee with practically a vet' eran team. Both teams intended to play football, but the fates ruled otherwise. The game had barely started when the dark sky split in twain and showered most of its conf tents upon the gridiron. The Catholics' attack kept our line fighting with their backs to the wall and their feet in the water. Waite grew stronger towards the end, but threat' ened seriously only once. All in all, the game was truly a tie, ending O to O. We take off our hats to Central for their fine, clean playing. October 8 proved disastrous to Waite's national championship hopes. On that day the team traveled to Lincoln, Nebraska, where the Cornhuskers proceeded to initiate the boys in the ways of playing football in the wild and wooly west, by beating Waite 31 to 13. Lincoln scored frequently during the first three quarters, but was held in the last quarter, when Waite opened up an extensive passing attack which netted two touch' downs. Boulter, midget quarterback, was Lincoln's big gun, while Kenny Hawk was Waite's best man because of his remarkable return of punts and consistent ground gaining. In what was generally conceded to be one of the toughest games of the season, Waite defeated the Memphis Central Warriors, 33 to O. Every man on the Waite team played star football. The fine condition of the Waite team proved superior to that of the Dixie boys. On October 22, Woodward Tech journeyed across the river and duplicated Central's feat by tying Waite, O to O. The game was a seefsaw affair, both teams losing golden opf portunities for scoring. Hawk made some fine boots during the punting duel of the first One hundred seventy also Encanto ,ma Gown mma- half, while Mike Apel reeled off some long gains. The second half featured line plays and end runs, and Kenny Hawk contributed some fine returns of punts. Then came the Bloomington game. Three years ago a team from Bloomington nearly defeated Waite in a wild affair which ended in victory for Waite by the small margin of 38 to 35. Waite expected another hard battle this year but was disappointed. Bloomington started off with a rush, but soon subsided. Waite won easily, 67 to O. Bartko and Russ divided scoring honors for the day. A freak of the game was the fact that only one of the tries for point after touchdown was successful. It was made by a line plunge by Bud Lockert. Before the Ironwood game, Mr. Steiner foretold that we would iron out Ironwood. And we did! The Michiganites outweighed the Waite team in pounds, but not in fighting energy. They departed from the Bowl with a 20 to 6 defeat among their souvenirs. Pass' ing constituted a great part of the Waite attack. Bernhagen and Brown starred on the line and Art Morse was the shining light of the backheld. i Waite's old grads came home on November 12 to watch the team tackle Libbey High in the Bowl. It took all of our power to squeeze out a 17 to 0 win from Libbey's scrappy crew. Their defeat was due mainly to their inability to cope with Waite in the overhead department. Passes were directly responsible for the two touchdowns scored. Blowney, Bartell, and Limoges were Libbey's best men, while Steve Juhasz, Bickford, and Winef brenner starred for Waite. Thanksgiving! We never mention it without thinking of the ScottfWaite game. Of all fourteen of these contests, none was more bitterly contested, or more exciting than the one of '27, Our failure to kick goal after our two touchdowns spelled defeat for us. The game ended 13 to 12. But, although a loss, it was a wonderful game, bitterly, but earnestly and cleanly fought out. Congratulations, Scott! And thus ended the season of 1927. Waite scored 214 points to her opponents' 50, registering 5 wins, 2 losses, and two ties. As we look back over the season, we think that we did well, and we wish the team of 1928 the best of luck. WAITE FOOTBALL SQUAD-1927 One hundred seventy-one -Q., E IQKJIREQIDG and GUIDED GNKQQ- Freshman Football 111 ITH a line averaging 137 pounds to the man, andabacklield 129, the Waite Freshmen have swept through a successful season whitefwashing six strong opponents and finishing in a whirl of glory by winning the mythical state championship. The backfield proved to be duplicate of the famous uFour Horsemen. Captain Wiles proved a wizard at calling signals, and Garbe, Cowell and Hennessee were experts at passing or plunging. Wiles did the punting, some of his boots going 65 yards. On the line, Jett gained the reputation of being the best passfreceiver developed on a freshman team at Waite. Jones was one of the fiercest tacklers on the squad, and had a good rival in jim Bruce on the other end of the line. Some idea of the teams played can be gained by statistics. Gibsonburg was defeated 40 to 0 in 21 minutes by the Freshmen, and it took Scott Varsity 48 minutes to beat them 80 to O. Dundee was the champ of Lower Michigan,while Bluffton is a class A high school. All the games of the Freshmen team were played in 8 minute quarters. Credit for this fine work must be given to Steve Rohliing, coach of the first year men for the past two years. To Mr. Rohlflng the school owes a debt of gratitude which he richly deserves.

To these were added john Molnar and Bill Rufty from the Freshman team of the year before, and Wiles, Bickford, Davis, and Morse from the reserves. Bartko and Juhasz also played during the first semester but were forced out at exam time under scholarship regulations. After beating the Alumni in a fast contest 37 to 31 by coming to the front in the last few moments of play, the squad took in Elkhart, Indiana on a trip out that way, and incif dentally trounced their high school team, 27 to 20. Carey was downed on Friday the 13th, 55 to 20. Lima Central then defeated Waite 39 to 28 on a octagonal floor. The strong Tiffin junior Order team fell to the tune of 45 to 18. Another trip to Indiana proved dis' astrous, Kendallville beating us 47 to 27. We spilled Fostoria in revenge, 28 to 22. The city games were discouraging. Scott won, 36 to 26, Libbey did the same thing, 33 to 24, and Woodward took us into camp, 30 to 20. The city tournament was an enf tirely different matter. The only advantage conceded to Waite was her luck in drawing a bye for the first round. Our Erst game was with Scott, who had beaten St. john, while Central was putting away mighty Woodward. In a close, fast, and furious battle, we won from the West Siders, and gained the right to play Libbey, who had that afternoon beaten Central. The Cowboys were not to be daunted, however, and took a 24 to 17 victory. At the Northwestern Ohio tournament, Waite spilled her first opponent, Bryan, by a score of 20 to 17. The next contest was our Waterloo. Fremont, who eventually won the tournament, was determined to have our scalp, and a 39 to 24 defeat was the result. This ended the season for Waite. Letters were awarded to the following: Captain Floyd Siewert, John Molnar, Kenf neth Hawk, Martin Bickford, William Wiles, and William Rufty.

With only a few players from the year before, but with an ambitiou group of aspirants, Coach Ralph Swisher soon had a businessflike aggregation under ful team. A season of 10 wins and only 2 defeats speaks for his efiicient coaching. Koring, center, was one of the tallest men on the Waite court this year, if not the tallest. Lawrence Apel, a gridiron star, held down one of the forward positions, while Moliuar and Monto divided honors for the other post. All three of these men could sink ielders with regularity, and were conspicuous on the floor by their endurance. Kagin was an exceptionally Hne running guard, and at times gave a neat exhibition of basketfshootf ing. Helbing was a stone wall at the position of standing guard. Many a rival found his Waterloo in this sturdy player. Besides these, several willing substitutes found work in some of the games, and showed their colors when called upon. The season was, on the whole, very satisfactory. The Dfs took the first spill, 11 to 6, followed by the Pennsylvania Red Arrows, in a close game, 25 to 23. Waterville was defeated in two games, 23 and 22, and 14 to 11. Woodward suffered a defeat, but Scott and Libbey won their contests by close scores. Sam Jones junior High met defeat in onefsided contests, and to finish the season, the Reserves of Central Catholic were humf bled, 12 to 11. As the main object of the Reserves is to train men for the varsity of coming years, this naturally restricts the players to sophomores and juniors. These underclassmen have done fine work this season, and are deserving of a great deal of credit.

The captaincy was divided equally between Ray Gladieux and Elmer Eberlin, each an artist in his own field of activity on the track. Under Coach Anderson's direction, the kinks in the knees and limbs disappeared as the weather grew warmer, and a flrstfclass track team was the ref sult. Part of the team went to the Michigan Indoor Inf terscholastic meet on March 19, in which Ken Hawk took third place in the pole vault. The next big meet was on May 14, the team then taking part in the Mich' igan Outdoor Interscholastic meet Hawk duplicated his previous performance, and Jim McKinley cinched fourth place in the stick event. The city meet folf lowed soon after, and the allfround efficiency of the entire squad was here evident. Waite men smashed records right and left, and gathered 60M points to 35M for Scott and 29M for Libbey. Scott set a new record for the halffmile, Gladieux for the mile run, Hawk for the low hurdles, and Hicks for the quarter mile. Scott and Gladieux repeated in the Northwesf tern Ohio meet by breaking marks in their events. Letters were awarded to the following men: Ray Gladieux and Elmer Eberlin, captains, Andrew Vanyo, John Graves, and John Molnar, seniors, Ken' neth Hawk, Isaac Anderson, james McKinley, Ross Scott, Paul Crawford, and jimmy Hicks, the Freshman Flash. All of these last named will be back in '28 with the exception of Paul Crawford and Zeek Anderson. Crawford is lost through the age limit, and Zeek has left school. With these veterans plus the ambitious condidates who are out this spring, Coach Andy expects to produce a team in '28 that will rival in prominence and power that of last year. We wish him every good fortune. One hundred seventysix Q- and 9- Ohld y 'Q-, B PURPLE and GUIDED 6XKm-9' ! 'Ghe 'Ghanksgiving Game ff! HERE is only one Thursday in the whole year that really counts, in the opinion of Waite students. That is the last Thursday in November, which the world out- side knovfs as Thanksgiving, but which to each Waite rooter means the annual football game with Scott. A day of excitement from beginning to end, this eventful Thursday. Up some time before eight o'clock, into our best clothes Cusually our warmest onesl, and down to the Waite bowl before ten. Here is the center of attention. Everybody is hunting in vain for a seat number designated on his ticket, only to End, after some halffhour's search, that the desired location is on the opposite side of the Held. Bands parade majestically up and down the field, led by an acrobatic drum major. Cheerleaders rave frantically before an equally frantic band of spectators. Candy and hot dog venders work madly to satisfy the demands for their wares, and have a hard job on their hands. Airplanes soar over the Held, dropping popcorn balls and other souvenirs. Finally the teams appear at the gate, and from both sides of the field a mighty roar arises, lasting for several minutes, until the rabid fans are completely exhausted. After a short warmfup, the squads gather around their respective coaches for the final words of advice, the referee blows his whistle, and the game is on. We always think of Thanksgiving with the pleasantest of memories, whether it brings to us victory or defeat. Its dynamic, everlasting spirit of good fellowship and friendly, clean rivalry is indelibly stamped on our memories as one of our most precious recollections.

The whistle blows and again the two teams are in action under the able direction of Miss Tilock as referee. Miss Tilock is a graduate of the New Haven Normal School of Gymnastics. She takes charge of the basketfball and hockey in the Girls' Athletic League. To her many of the Waite girls owe their good posture for she often tells them to 'Lstand up straight with shoulders back and chest out. Miss Tilock has a cheerful even temperament. Her greatest weakness is ice skating and she is never so happy as when skimming across a wide expanse of ice. Miss Gottshall, slender, dark, petite, with a charming smile, that, in a few words is Miss Gottshall. On Monday afternoons, dressed in her green gym bloomers, black stock' ings and green lumberjacket she stands before us and demonstrates clogging. Clogging as done by Miss Gottshall is surely graceful. She also teaches tumbling, soccer, and swim- ming. Miss Gottshall is a graduate of the New Haven Normal School of Gymnastics. She also attended Columbia University in New York for one year.

So runs the password of the Girls' Athletic League. In 1923 when the League was organized for the purpose of stimulating interest in the girls' athletics, and of giving the girls an opportunity to play the game its present sucf cess was not foreseen. Each succeeding year, more and more girls have found their way into the gym, where fun, health, and sportsmanship reign supreme. Mondays and Wednesdays and Fridays the girls play hockey or soccer, if it is in the fall, while during the winter many an exciting basketfball game attracts their attention. These sports are followed in the spring by clogging, tumbling, baseball, and archery. No wonder we see about the school so many brightfeyed, healthy girls, who are familiar with the essentials of good sportsmanship. We must not forget to mention the swimming classes which are held at the Y. W. C. A. on Tuesdays and Thursdays. This sport is becoming very popular, of late, and nearly every girl can successfully navigate in the water. For the increasing success of this organization, credit must be given to Miss Tilock and Miss Gottshall. Many hours of their precious time do they give us in coaching our classes. At the close of the year those girls who have contributed the most to the success of the League and who are conspicuous for sportsmanship, high scholastic records, and health are awarded distinctions of which any girl may well be proud. Cnc hundred eighty -QMS HQKJIHRIQIDCH and GOJDID 6'NXXx.,9- HOCKEY ln the fall we find the junior and senior girls out in the hockey Held. It is no wonder that we see some of the girls limping if they sock at the ball as many times as they cry, Sock it. Toward the end of the season the cry is forgotten but the sock is perfected. The hockey captains this year were Elizabeth Keller, captain of the junior team and Marf garet Robins, captain of the senior team. SOCCER Soccer means the same thing to the freshmen and sophomores that hockey means to the juniors and seniors. The freshman and sophomore captains were Mildred Moon and Ruth Whitacre. The freshmen captains were Ruth Wallace, Helen Fuller, and Ruth Burgemeister. BASKETBALL Basketball is the game iniwhich juniors, seniors, freshmen, and sophomores all take part. Each class has a team. This brings rivalry as each class tries to uphold its class honor. There are also organization teams. This year the Zets'i won the interclub chamf pionship when they defeated the Friendship Club in the final game. The winning team's lineup was as follows: Side center, Laura McEvoy, forwards, Mary Bowman and Helen Rahmstock, guards, Blanche Hood and Marthabelle McClure. If you happen into the gym, during one of these games you hear an excited chorus of uShoot itll or Guard that forward, L'What's the matter with you? If noise is a measure of enjoyment, the girls are at their happiest when they play or watch a basket ball game.

There One hundred eightyfone -mlb Drrraiaraca .ma Goran are two classes in clogging, a beginners' and an advanced class. More girls turn out for this than for any other form of athletics. To see them step one would think them experts rather than novices. TUMBLING Do we tumble? Without a doubt. Some of the accomplished tumblers do hand stands, cart wheels, double rolls, and hand springs. People may have the idea that girls are afraid of falling but they should see our tumblers do their stuff. Their opinions would be speedily changed. TRACK There are also girls' track teams. Some of the events in which the girls take part are running, jumping, basketfball throw for distance, and the high jump. These sports help to round out the program of the athletic activities for girls. The following girls received letters or chevrons for their work last yearg Lois Berry, Margaret McClure, Margaret Keller, Mary Knierem, Muriel Waldvogal, Dorothy jackson, Kathryn Denman, Jennie Muirhied, Margaret Robins, Mary Bowman, Ruth Muench, Alma Meyers, Elizabeth Keller, Ruth Whitacre, Florence Long, and Esther White. Muriel Waldvogal was the first girl from any Toledo high school to receive a letter every year. Waite is very proud to award this honor. SWIMMING It is cold and icy, the wind is blowing, but one can see Waite girls walking up Jeff ferson Avenue with books and bathing caps under their arms. These girls are going to the HY for their weekly swim under the direction of Miss Gottshall. The girls were divided into two teams, namely the fish and the frogs, and a swimming meet was held on March 2. The fish won the meet. Some of the events of the meet were: diving, form, swimming and speed swimming. Many stunts were performed. THE GYM EXHIBITION One of the high lights in the Waite program of events is the annual gym exhibition. It was held this year on April 26. It is of especial interest to the freshmen and sophomores who have never been in the spotlight before. It is often their debut as entertainers at Waite. The regular gym classes put on folk dances and games, while the members of the Girls' Athletic League demonstrated clogging and tumbling.

Why do you walk up and down the hall with so agitated an air, my dear Homer? I asked with great politeness, for you know Homer is very polite. Have you been without meat, or has your food not been properly seasoned? Oh, it's not that! The food's all right, sighed my bosom friend, but it's the people around here that annoy me. Now take for instance that Maggie Robbins! She always has something to say! shels getting more particular every day. Why, the other day in the refectory she abf solutely refused to drink cocoa with coifee cake! That just goes to show you how particuf lar that young lady can be! Then, too, there's that pest, Clarence Weber. Did you ever see that boy when he wasn't yelling at the top of his voice? Why, just last hour in science, Miss Young was talking about milkweeds and when she asked him about them he said that he didn't know anything about dairy plants. Yes, indeedy, that boy surely does give me a pain. But, Homer, I remonstrated, you must understand they have not had as much experience as you have had, and you must not be too harsh with them. Well, it's not only that, cried Homer. Yesterday I asked one of the boys QI think it was Carleton Vobbej when the War of 1812 was fought and he said, Clt was fought in 1776.5 That just shows you the types around here.

Forthwith he proceeded. As he entered a beautiful marble palace, Al Mauter, who had taken a position as auto' mobile salesman, immediately pounced on him. Step right this way, purred Al.

You see, this car has every modern convenience of home and oiiice. Back there is a ticker and a typewriter. Under the seat is a kitchen outfit so that you can cook your breakfast while riding to work. Here you see a folding bed. There is a heater. And now for the big surprise. Merely open this compartment and you perceive a fully equipped radio. Splendid, is it not? We can install any other thing that you desire, too. ls is not a wonderful production? But, Mr. Combs blurted out, How about the motor? Motor? whyfwhaf, here he called to his mechanician, Say, George, what is a motor? Do they use them in automobiles? Search me. I never heard tell of 'emf' But Mr. Combs had passed to a better land. One hundred eightyfnine -awe Mirrruamca and Goran The Argument iff The scene opens before a brick house.
