Four years ago this would have been Such an easy thing to do. Hut we've been so long together Bravely toiling on and on Long cold drives in stormy weather Rising long before the dawn. Solid study had no terrors For the class of Twenty-One We made good use of errors We're a class that’s full of fun. Do you think it any wonder That we arc so loathe to part Rend the class ties all asunder Rooted in the very heart. Time decreed that we should part Which we very much regret Wapak, Blume High. Memories We shall never soon forget. Our talents we have oft extolled With justice to each one Fond memories in our hearts we'll hold Since our High School life is done. Father Time has scaled our friendship Teachers, classmates, one and all May we never let a word slip Vainly we could not recall. Now our work here is ended We at last must say Adieu” Time is forever passing onward The old gives way to the new. —HAROLD D.

I sink hack among the cushions. I gaze, musing, into the glowing coals and as 1 dream, my truant fancy wanders hack over the avenues of years to take a glimpse here and there at the events of our high school days. A glowing log rolls off the andirons, casting a shower oi golden embers in a roseate haze over the grate A wreath of smoke slowly rises in a never ceasing promenade. Suddenly the smoke blurs, and a succession of faces appear: then incidents follow quickly, one alter another, before our reminiscing visi n. until the entire panorama of our freshman year is unfolded. We see again that bright morning in September whe.i we entered the study-hall for the first time. How vast i: seemed and how solemn the teachers standing along the wall! But soon we were taking part in the various school activities and the true spirit of Illume High began to he instilled into us. It was this year that we were first initiated into the mysteries of Latin and Algebra. The 1 gs begin to smoulder. A little manipulation of the poker causes the sparks again to rise in a dusty cloud of smoke. Another panorama unfolds before ns. We are Soph-111 ires. We may now look with amused toleration upon the mistakes f the frcshics. for we have lost our emerald hue. We long since ceased to have heart palpitation, when called upon to recite, and to stumble over our own feet when we went to sharpen our pencils. The teachers no longer seem as grim sentinels, but as comrades and helpers. Now our true worth bee; mes evident to the upperclassmen for we begin to appear in the orchestra, glee clubs and basket ball teams. Though forced to do the nine months work in six because of the “flu” epidemic, we work diligently and come through with flying colors. The smoke curls playfully up the chimney. This year some of us plunge into the depths of Business Law, while others struggle with the intricacies of French composition. We work and play with equal ardor and enthusiasm, and some of our members win distinction in the county track meet. The fire still burns—and burns. Our Senior year appears - the gayest and the happiest of all our school days. nc by one the scenes glide by like the many-colored pictures of an ever-shifting mirage—basket-ball games that we watched with breathless suspense while the score hung in the lxilance, and rousing cheers when a basket was made—long hours spent over Latin translations and bookkeeping accounts that refused to balance—clowns and princesses tripping joyously at a masque dance- the three Ik� vs and two girls of our class who won the High School “ at basket ball—Monday mornings in chapel—various predicaments that we have all been in at one time « r another- the dying embers bring t � us the realization that our High School davs are almost ended and we shall soon leave Illume High for the last time. Perhaps wc shall turn and look back at it with a regretful mist in our eves. But. if there is regret in our eyes, there shall also be anticipation. for we have high, high hopes, wc Seniors, and we feel that the world may expect great things of the cla s of ’21. The fire is out—the tale is done. —EDITH LYNE TWENTY-FIVE 1921 —The Retrospect— 1921 School Song Tune: Heidelberg. Come lift v.mr voices let them ring To Illume High’s praise and glory; Xo stain shall darken any page Of Illume High's splendid story. Chorus Then here's to you, long may you light The path of honor and right. High may thy standards ever Ik ; Illume High, we cherish thee. We'll never let our actions mar Illume High school’s name or honor; We’ll always keep her standards high And bring no shame upon her. Chorus Words by: Augustus Klipfel ’21 TWKNTY six Class Prophecy We were living in California ami planned a trip abroad, first across the continent then to Europe. Finally the day arrived for our departure. Leaving the sunny land of California, vve lioardcd a train for the Fast. Whom should we find as conductor? Xo one hut Carl Cleaves. He told us that he and Kermit Combs had come West to gain riches in the oil speculation. We did not change trains until we reached Salt I ake City where we expected to spend a few days. We went to Salt I«akc Hotel and were cordially greeted by Alvina Krabach, the landlady. She informed us that some of our former schoolmates were visiting there. Next day we journeyed t - Yellowstone Park, where to our astonishment we met Kathryn Goeke and Clarence McGuff. who were spending their honeymoon. They said that they were going to reside at Washington 1). C. where Clarence had a g vernment job. After a few da s stay, we started for Iowa. While on the way. the train became impaired, and they were forced to stop and fix it. We were delayed about an hour. In the meantime we walked over to a farmhouse, the only one within miles. We knocked at the door and who do you suppose opened it? Francis Roth, who had purchased a ranch and was prospering. Soon we were on our way to Chicago where we expected to remain a week. As Zephyr played havoc with our hair, it was almost d vn. We must go to a Marinello shop. Looking up we spied the names of Helen Wenk and Virginia Blair. We entered and Virginia met us. As we rested a while, we chanced to perceive '‘The Wapakoncta Daily News.” )ne page was covered with a clothing store advertisement, with Roy Foos as owner and Farnest Pitts as head clerk. On an- other page was an advertisement of a hardware store, owned by Irvin Docring. Eleanor May Hamilton, a famous elocutionist. was visiting at her home. Clinton De Long was the new manager of the Wapakoncta Steam Laundry. Mildred Christler, English teacher of Rlumc High, had gone to Lima on a business trip. In the church announcements there were the names Rev. Harold Runklc minister of the M. E. Church and Rev. Jacob Bowsher minister of the St. Paul’s Church. Lois Riiinchart and Edith McDouglc. Uniopolis teachers, had gone to Cleveland. Daisy De Long has resumed her office work after a short visit. William Tclljohn had installed an ice plant. By this time we had read the newspaper and bidding Virginia farewell, we resumed our course. On West Avenue tNs suddenly encountered a Naval officer. who was Everett breeders. On our way we glanced upward and t« our surprise we read. “Edgar E. Rabcrding, At-tornr General of the State of Illinois”. When we reached the hotel, we were met by Adiel Kuck. who was hotel manager. That evening we went to the Metropolis theater to hear a famous orchestra. To our right on the stage was Warren Fessler with his cello. After our stay in Chicago, we decided to spend a few days in Toledo. As we walked up to the ticket booth we recognized the familiar face of Edgar Koehl, and upon turning t.� leave we met John Koehl. who said that he was to play with the “Reds” that day in a baseball game. As we were about to descend from a street car we were met by Ludla Sifcrd. who was doing relief work in several of the large cities. While walking up High Street we glanced to one side and saw the name of Howard Bonnoront, an expert TWENTY -SEVEN 1921 — Ihe Retrospect— 1921 barber of Toledo. Next stop was Lima, where we met Immanuel Rodeheffcr who was county superintendent of Allen county. He told us that Florence kaeck was a district school teacher, and Coda Crow was a physical culture teacher. He also added that Florence Pitthan was a stenographer of that city. As we were settled in our seats, we opened a story book. There we found a story written by Paulina Dembski, and another by Romaync Wertz. Before we left Philadelphia, we saw Emma Fisher at the head of a suffrage parade. After the parade we met and had a friendly chat. She told us that Persis Shultz was a teacher there and that Herman Swonguer was the editor of the “Philadelphia Herald.’’ She also said that he had Aurelia Rush and Norma Nickell engaged as typists. We purchased a lx ok “Easy Wav To Become Wealthy.” written by Herbert Rlair. That evening we went to a play in which Arthur Zint played the star role. Next day we boarded a train for New York. Finally we found ourselves walking on the broad streets, on cither side the huge sky scrapers meeting the ceil”. That day we decided to visit one of the leading high schools. Wc found to our greatest surprise Luella Kennedy as principal. She told us that Alma Monger and Elizabeth Locgcl were married and living in Brooklyn. Luella also told us that Trcssic Metz was a stenographer at an office in that city and that Vera Shaffer was a Domestic Science teacher. After our visit at the high school, we went to a basketball game in which Russel Ilangcn and Cletus Zaenglein were starring. The next day we bade America farewell! After five days of plodding and tossing, wc reached Liverpool. Whom should we find but Augustus Klipfel in the custom house. He directed us to one of the hotels, where we found in the entrance. Carvel Braun, who was leisurely smoking. He informed us that he had come abroad to write the history of the English people. The next morning we left the hotel and before going we encountered Oscar Rabcrding, who was Ambassador from United States to England. After a friendly chat we proceeded on our journey. Our next stop was Dublin, where we visited with Xelvia Spees, who had married a nobleman. During the conversation Nclvia told us that Edith Lyne was head nurse in Ireland’s largest hospital and that Catherine Berg was an under nurse. After a few days stay wc journeyed to France. As we have always been interested in science, we decided to visit one of the laboratories where wc found Floyd Bowman as an electrician. He told us that Robert Lee was touring France. After a week’s stay in France wc went to Italy. Whom should wc meet in the slums? No one but Ruby Wentz who was a missionary to foreign lands. She told us that Marjorie Moore was a missionary to China. Ruby gave us a newspaper from Wapakoneta and we eagerly read the contents. In the society items was stated: Thelma Sillin and Leota DcVore, social butterflies, were home from New York. Edna and Lc-nora Kattcrheinrich were kindergarden teachers in Wapakoneta. Millard Rohrbaugh purchased a merchandise store from Arthur Kattenhenry. Dolores Taylor had taken up settlement work and Opal Fry and Eamestine Sillin entertained Ethel Mollencamp and former friends. Hilda Holtkamp and Miriam Arnett were district school teachers. Arthur Doering and Cecil Ramge were enlarging the city of Ruckland by building a hospital. John Shields, minister of Lima Luthern Church, was a Wapakoneta visitor. On the front page was a notice for subscribers of the Daily News’’ to pay their dues—signed Glen Hardin. Editor and Eula Fisher assistant. The S cial Personal and Court items were edited by Bernice Wiles and Emily Ramge. Helen Kolter. a dancing teacher, had a large class of beginners. After wc had read the news and talked over old times with Ruby wc departed for Russia. In the custom house was Cecil Liokumovitz. He told us that Ida was head clerk of a dry goods store in Moscow. I’p-on turning to leave wc suddenly encountered a very tall man with two suitcases. It was Harold Schierer, who was a traveling salesman. So thus endeth the prophesied career of all the members of the class of twenty-one. Ye' indeed, wc have ever • one. Of the honored class of ’21. MARY LOUSE DELONG MARGARET DELONG TWRNTY-Kir.HT 1921 — The Retrospect — 1921 Class Will And Testament We. the Senior Class of ’21 of Illume High School, in view of the fact that we are about to desert our proteges, the other three classes, and because they can never hope to attain the mark set by us. feel that we must at least make these slight provisions for the future: First: To the girls of Bluine High, we bequeath a new mirror, provided the teacher in charge of the cloakroom will permit that said mirror to be hung where it is of easv access to all. Second: We bequeath to the Cicero class the few (?) ponies in the possession of the present Vergil class. Third: To Marian Fischer, we bequeath the dramatic ability of Kathryn Gockc; to Vonda Blank we leave the beauty of Helen Wenk, and hope she can use it to advantage. Fourth: To Everett Turnbull, the present title of Harold Scheirer, Peaches”: we desire that Harold’s art of blushing should go to Virgil Foster. Fifth: To some deserving Sophomore, we bequeath the love affairs of John Shields and of Herbert Blair. Sixth: We desire that the musical talent of Arthur Zint should be left to Everett Turnbull. Seventh: To Evelyn Emerson and Dorothy I ongsworth. we bequeath the vamping eyes of Thelma Sillin and Virginia Blair, respectively, and hope we may never have cause to regret said bequests. Eighth: To Kurt Mueller we leave all Clarence McGuff’s ability as class president. Ninth: To Mr. Nardin, we bequeath all marks about the building which we were forbidden to put there. Tenth: To Miss Wintzer, we bequeath all the test paper remaining at the end of the year; to Mr. Stein, the janitor, all our waste paper. Eleventh: To Edward Musser and his junior contemporaries, we bequeath the debating ability of Oscar Raberding, which we trust they will be able to use to good advantage. We hereby revoke all former wills made by us, and declare this our last will and tesament. As executors we appoint Arthur Zint and Clctus Zaenglein.

You ask for proof? Lend us your cars and harken unto the call of the Juniors. As Freshmen we were not trodden upon as is generally the case, and the teachers recognized us as a class with great possibilities. The influenza epidemic was a handicap, but we .succeeded in doing nine months work in six. As Sophomores we gained more recognition by having among our members the tallest girl and the shortest boy of the school. In the spring of l‘ 20 a terrible tornado passed over the central part of the county, and the class of ’22 responded to the call for help. Nearly all of the boys from our class helped to clear away the debris, and the girls mad-doughnuts and coffee for the refreshment of the workers. As Juniors, class spirit and unity are two of our manv virtues. In all school afiairs the Juniors are well represented. To the call of the field meet they earnestly answered. Didn’t we defeat the Seniors in the debate and the interclass basket ball game? Haven’t wc studied nearly the same things in English this year that the Seniors have, thereby causing them to look up to us? It has always been the desire of each Junior to graduate a bigger and better Senior class than any that preceded it, and we are working eagerly for the fulfillment of that desire. We hope and believe that ours will be the best Senior class that ever walked, or ever will walk, through the stately rooms and aisles of Blume High Schcx l. —MARGARET DARST TIIIItTV-TIIKEK THIRTY rorR THIRTY � IVK 1921 —The Retrospect— 1921 Sophomore Class GUILFORD ARCHER VIVIAN AYERS HAROLD BAILEY WILBUR BAILEY MARJORIE BAXTER JOHN BECHDOLT LAV ERL BLACKBURN DONALD BLAIR RAYMOND BOBB LELAND BRACKNEY MARIE BURDEN IDA BURK LELA BUTCHER CHARLES CLAY BERNARD COLEMAN VIOLA COOK K ENNETII COPELAND ARTHUR CRAFT LILITH DAVIS ALVINA DETJEN CHRISTINE DITTMER EVELYN EMERSON ARTHUR EMERICK REIN HOLD ERICKSON BERNARD FISHER PAUL FISHER ESTHER FOGT VERGIL FOSTER ARTHUR GNAGI ELIZABETH GROLL HARRY GROSS EDWARD GUTMANN FRED HAM AN CLARK HANOLD CECELIA HIGGINS ORVILLE HITTEPOLE JEANETTE HOWELL NAOMI 11 USE REGINA J HNS )N ERNEST KAEHLER NORMA KELLER LILLIAN KEMPER FREDERIC KLIPFEL W ALTER KOHLER HENRY KRIDLER BERNICE LONG DOR()TI IY LCLNGSWORTlI RAY MON D LOTT RIDG K JAMES MARSHALL STANLEY MAXSON WELCOME MAXSON RUTH McCLlNTOCK ELIZABETH McCLURE IRENE McCORMICK GLADYS METZ LOUISE MILLER FLORENCE MILLER RONALD MINTON WILBUR MORRIS CORA MYERS GLADYS MYERS HAZEL NELSON-NORM A PRESAR FREDONIA RAMGA MARIE RAMGE DONALD REINHART FLO REN CE SCI I EM M EL MILDRED SCH EM MEL BOBSCHNELL JOHN SEITZ VIOLET SELOVER IRENE SHEETS ARM1LDA SHULER DRUS1LDA SHULER HAROLD SEII.SCHOT BERLIN SLATER CARL SMITH MINA SWINEHART RUBY TAYLOR AGNES TESTER FREDA WALTER GEORGE WEHNER WILLARD WILSON THIKTY-8IX On a September morn two years ago. the portals of Old Blumc High were thrown open once more and our class of about one hundred eager pupils were among those who passed in. Since our history of the previous year has already been related, I shall dwell upon the past long enough to say that we accomplished all that we had hoped to do in our first year’s work. Now we are nearing the completion of our second year. We have thus far bravely cast aside all the obstacles in the path of learning, and we all hope in the near future to enter with pride upon the third year’s work. ()ur class is composed of pupils talented along many different lines, this proves to you that we possess that admirable quality called stick-to-it-iveness. We have quite a number of skilled musicians. In athletics our class holds a prominent place among the other classes, for we have material for n track team which cannot be beaten in the whole school. One of our boys also played on the first basket-ball team, and had the privilege of attending the tournament at Delaware. We believe that in all things we arc doing our best work toward the advancement of ourselves and our school, and are setting higher standards for those who arc to follow in our footsteps. —J.

Everything has its beginning. It is true that in the fall of 1920, ninetv-ninc ambitious expectants wended their way toward Illume High School. The sky seemed to take on a deeper shade of blue, the atmosphere became heavier, and the birds did not sing half so sweetly, but time, blessed time, has changed it all into brightness, and much joy has come to our class; the class that we hope will be one of the most promising that has ever finisher! its course in Illume High School. Already we arc proud to boast of our achievement in lit erar . musical, and athletic work. For have we not talented readers; would the orchestra l c half so vigorous or would the glee clubs sing half so sweetly without us? Would the cheers be half so enthusiastic if it were not for the class of 1924? Wc appreciate the opportunities offered to us. and it is our ambition to have our class honored not only by our school but also by our country. We are not at all egotistical but we feel it may come to pass.

It has grown from a membership of eight to a membership of twenty-six in the last four years. Nothing but the very best music is played, and some very difficult selections have been given. Besides the numerous occasions on which the orchestra has played for school activities. it has often been called upon to play for programs and entertainments outside of the school.

BLUME HIGH SCHOOL BAND The first high school band in the history of Blumc High School was organized through the efforts of Herman Sw’onguer ami Raymond Bobb on Thursday, January twenty-seventh, nineteen hundred and twenty-one. Arthur Zint was chosen director, Herman Swongucr manager, and Cletus Zaenglein assistant manager. Considering the short time in which the band was organized and the difficulties encountered in putting a new idea into practice, the band has been splendid success. Shortly after its organization the band was used to head the Carnival parade. It also played several pieces uptown in the evening to advertise the Carnival. One of the performances included in appearances of the band was at the Track Meet on May seventh. The band helped to put more pep and enthusiasm into the Meet’' with its lively music. It is much to lx hoped that the band will be a stepping stone to future high school bands and will become a permanent organization in Plume High. Members arc as follows: Arthur Zint. Director.

The negro minstrel given in the assembly hall was attended by nearly eight hundred people during their three performances. it was headed by Arthur Zint and included Kver-ett Turnbull. Cletus Zaenglein. Guilford Archer. Rov Foos. Robert Lee. Raymond Bobb, Charles Knost, Richard Ruck and W infield Kohl. A Jazz Orchestra composed of Louise Miller. Florence Abe. Ed. Musser. R bert Lee, and Arthur Zint added to this successful entertainment. A play entitled Teeth of the Gift Horse ’ was presented by: Genclle Shaffer, Kathryn Koltcr. Luclla Kcnncdv. Carol Puetz. Rex Settlemire. and Howard Bonnoront. The plav centered about an old lady’s affection for curios. A dance of the Seasons was interpreted by Kathryn Goekc and Marian Fischer assisted by eight girls representing the seasons of the year. The girls were dressed in bright pretty costumes which made the dance very interesting A very attractive tea room was found in a corner of the building where one was served with wafers, salads, ice cream and cake. The advice shows, babv shows, booth for men only, lemonade stand and candy booths, each had their funny and attractively dressed crier who tried to drown out his neighl or with his plea for customers and the excellency of his wares. At 11:30 A. M. the pupils paraded through the main streets of our city accompanied by our High School Band and many peculiar and quaintly dressed people even including the circus clown. It was the most successful affair ever held at Blume High. The proceeds of the carnival sent our boys to Delaware, and the remainder was added to our library fund. The grand success of the affair was due to the splendid coo|� eration of pupils and teachers. nrTYoxit FIFTY-TWO Society SENIOR PARTY A masked Halloween party was held by the Junior and Senior classes with the faculty as guests at the Country Club House on Friday Evening October 22. Every nation and age were represented in the picturesque throng. It was a verv hard puzzle to find out Who's Who and Why.” Miss W intzer, the “Newsy Girl.” Kurt Mueller, the Japanese Lady, and Harold Shierer, the amp, were put before the judges who awarded Harold the prize. A good catch was reported by fishermen of the fish pond, the proceeds of which went to the athletic fund. Splendid music for dancing was rendered by Zint’s ()rchcstra. Various games were played during the evening. A lunch, served cafeteria style, consisted of weincr sandwiches, sweet cider, wafers and marshmallows. We extend our thanks for the wonderful evening to the entertaining committee of the Junior and Senior classes. INITIAL SENIOR PARTY OF THE YEAR A Senior Party was held at the Home of the Country Club. Friday evening. September 28. The class and the teachers of Blume High enjoyed a delightful evening of music and dancing. A lunch of hot weincr sandwiches, coffee and wafers were served. It was the first party of the year, and served as a getting acquainted” party for the new members of the class. LINCOLN DAY EXERCISES The services of C. H. Smith Ph. D.. Professor of History and Economics, L� lu ft ton College, were secured for this program. His lecture Lincoln the Man” was very instructive and intensely interesting. The other numbers on the program were nicely carried out. ASSEMBLY HALL FEATURES . We have enjoyed more valuable and helpful extra features in our school course this year than ever before. A few of those deserving special mention are: Scotty’s (war veteran) exhibition of extending his arms. legs, and neck: the educational picture show put on by the Delco Farm Lighting Co., and a program by the twenty members of the Bluffton College Glee Club, and their brass quartet. CHRISTMAS JUNIOR-SENIOR DANCE As far as a good time is concerned, the Junior-Senior Dance was more than could be desired. However the attendance was not as large as was expected because there were a good many other attractions that night. If it could have been possible for the dancers to have become intoxicated on punch, everybody would have been a little off” as a considerable amount of the drink disappeared that night. Music was furnished by Zint’s Orchestra. CHRISTMAS PROGRAM On Thursday afternoon. December 23, 1921. a verry fitting Christmas Program was given in the study hall.

WAYNESFIELD The Basket Ball season opened with two games at Waynesficld. Our girls engaged the Wavnesfield girls' team in a preliminary game. 'Phis was the first experience in a real game for most of the girls oil our team. The Wavnesfield girls were more experienced and their team was much heavier. More through timidity than anything else, our girls let Wavnesfield pile up a 5 to 1 score in the first half. They came back strong in the last half, but left a final score of 11 to 5 in favor of Wavnesfield. The Waynesficld lads had a lead of 7 toO for awhile. The hearty school yells of the enthusiastic seventy-five or a hundred supporters that accompanied them woke our boys up. The score stood 8-8 the first half and ended in a 23 to 11 victory for Wapak. Blair and Houtx did the star playing. WAPAK VS. SPENCERVILLE There isn’t much t tell about this game. Our local five were handicapped with sore left arms received from vaccination. The beams and slick f! tor of the Spcncerville basket ball floor hindered their usual quickness and goal shooting. The score at the first half was 18 to 3 in favor of their opponents. Our team made six points in the last half while their rivals only made five. The final score was 23 to 9 in favor of Spcncerville. WAPAK VS. SIDNEY Spurred on by their defeat at Spcncerville. the team played a wonderful game at Sidney. It was indeed a battle royal with fast and rough playing. The first half ended 10 to 6 in favor of Wapak. The last half ended in a tie of 14-14. In the extra five minutes of playing allowed. Wapak won by shoving one through the basket. 'Phis made the final score 16 to 14 in our favor. About thirty supporters accompanied the team. WAPAK VS. KENTON The Hardin county boys were too much for the locals. They outweighed their opponents by an average of thirty to forty pounds. Neither center scored. Bowers, a forward on the Kenton team, made twenty points and was the star player on his team. ITout , and Reed as forwards for the locals made eight points each. Kenton’s total score was 42 and the local team’s was 19. WAPAK VS. ST. MARYS AND NEW BREMEN On Friday. February 21. the Ixn’s team played at St. Marvs while the girls’ team journeyed to New Bremen. The sad part of this particular Friday night was the defeat at St. Marys. The boys team was minus some of its brilliant players. and with their unusual line up they didn’t do much. The first half ended 15 to 4 and the last half 29 to 12 both in favor of the reservoir team. The girls saved Blume High from total defeat. The funny part of this game was that very few errors were called. It was hard fought all the way through. I.uella Kennedy was the star of the evening, making every one of the eight tallies for her team. The final score showed an 8 to 4 score favor of Wapa-koneta. WAPAK GIRLS VS. ST. MARYS GIRLS Another decisive victory with an 8 to 2 score was added to the splendid record of our girls’ team on Friday. January 29. The game was featured throughout by splendid pass work and harmony in team work. The St. Marys girls put up a scrappy game, but couldn’t compete with their rivals at all. WAPAK VS. SIDNEY The team thought it would be nice to stick another defeat on Sidney before they made their trip to the annual northwestern Ohio tournament. Thcv expected a large crowd of FIFTY SEVEN 1921 —The Retrospect— 1921 boosters to accompany them, but for some reason or other the number of rooters was decidedly slim. The hopes of the team started to fall when they realized the small support they had. However, they got into the spirit of the contest and played i fast, hard fought game. It seemed to the team as if the earl} disappointment was the beginning of a luckless night. They continually lost ground until the score assumed the one sided proportions of 34 to 9. THE WAYNESFIELD TOURNAMENT As the Waynes field Tournament took place at the same time as the State Tournament, our first team couldn’t compete. Blumc Hi won the county tournament last year and would no doubt have copped it this year, but decided to try for higher stakes at the big tournament. The second team went to the county meet and won the Class B. Championship. The members of the second team are to be complimented on the splendid showing they made, especially as they had not had much practice in team work. They were under the direction of Mr Zeiders. The members of the second team were. Oscar Raberding. Robert Runkle and Robert Schncll. forwards; Orville Killian and Robert Lee, guards; Harold (jut-man and William Telljohn. centers. DELAWARE STATE TOURNAMENT According to the annual custom of Blume High, the team was sent to the state tournament. Their first opponent was Scio which was so successful that it proved to be their only opponent. Scio won the game by the score of 17 to 5. Wa-pakoncta was by no means the only team that was downed in the first contest. Most all of the strong teams in this section were lost in the first stampede by the noted teams of Cleveland and Scio. Cletus Zacnglein and Herbert Blair each gave a short talk on the team’s journey before the school one afternoon right after their return. According to their version of the story, one of our best players lost his wind, or thought he had lost it. just when he was worst needed in the game. They took their defeat good-naturedly, and several of the players made trips to Columbus and other near-by points of interest before they returned home. On the whole the boys had a most pleasant time, and enjoyed every minute of their trip. BLUME HIGH GIRLS AT TOURNAMENT Blume High. New Bremen High and Waynesfield High were the only girl teams present at the County Tournament held at Waynesfield. Monday. February 15. New Bremen played W aynesfield first, losing to them with a score of 11 to 3. Blumc High put up a hard fight, but lost with a score 5 to 6. It was a very close and hard fight but t he Waynesfield girls proved a little too much for our girls. This was the second time the girls have lost to Waynesfield who refuse to be conquered by our girls. But wait—until next year! AUGLAIZE COUNTY TRACK MEET. MAY 7. 1921. The annual went to press this year before the second annual track and field meet was held. Most of the old point winners are with us again, and there has been a splendid addition of new athletes. The track meet was a great success last year, and all indications point to a till bigger success this year. A good showing of our boys and the capture of the cup is anticipated. The events are as follows: Boys—100 yard dash, 880 yard dash, one mile race; relays with four boys with a distance of one-half mile, and a mile; 100 yard hurdle race, standing broad, running broad, standing broad jumps, standing and running high jump, pole vault, shot-put, and baseball throw.
