ODE TO THE TEACHERS - 3 ,- At the head of our High School we hold so dear We have Mr. Nardiin whom we ne’er do fear; Our Principal then, comes next in line Mr. Menschel, by name, we like him just fine. In Civics, and English and History too All of our knowledge to Miss Gabriel is due. Miss Howell’s sense of duty can ne’er be surpassed Her mood we well knew by the glances she cast. Mr. Y. Lee Swaidner in athletics excels He’s our coach and victory he always spells. When Miss Wintzer’s around she always gives cheer She teaches the language of Latin so dear. In English IV we greet with a smile Miss Campbell’s lessons which are long as a mile. One sense of duty she never does shirk That is Miss Caldwell who is always alert. Miss Schmidt, our teacher as quiet as a mouse, She knows everything about keeping a house. Then French or Francais as Miss Postle would protest She says it in French and we do our best. In our department of business that is so well known Mr. Xott does his duty, lack of work never shown. There is Miss Dakin who is always true blue Just a sweet disposition is all that she knew. Mr. Edmonds who is our architect great His position he fills without a mistake. Mr. Wiley’s the name of instructor on land He tells them the difference between sawdust and sand. Mr. Goodman, the teacher of science so deep, Took the place of Mr. Zeiders, who left us to weep. Last but not least, and well liked by all Miss Mytinger’s mighty though she is very small. F. A.—K. K. CLASS POEM --eg,- Just as every true tneriean Loves the dear red, white and blue. Thus the members of our Senior Class Hold the class of ' 22 . Four years have we struggled and labored To attain this well earned fame. Each year was a little bit harder But we buckled right down just the same. But though we have toiled and labored Still we did not think all was hard work. For our school days were filled up with pleasures, Though our duties we never did shirk. A word such as “can’t” we knew not And success was our one greatest aim, W e feel that we’ve all been rewarded For taking our part in the game. Our days that are best are now over W ith regret we must leave them behind And go out to life’s great battle To accomplish the tasks we’re assigned. With success we will meet many hardships We will bear them as we have been taught. We will fight, we will work, we will battle, I ' ntil they are brought down to naught. And now to our dear old High School W ' e will raise a song of cheer, With hopes that extend to the future And mem’ries of our school days so dear. FLORENCE ABE KATHRYN KOLTER CLASS HISTORY OF 1922 Once upon a time, not so very many years ago, order was created out of chaos for a certain number of striving little souls. They endured eight long periods of time trying to get accustomed to and acquainted with the manners and peculiarities of this world and its inhabitants. To them life seemed a re¬ petition of the same dull procedure until a new light began to dawn which they recognized as the Four Great Seasons of Education. They entered on the first season with the same zeal and hope, which they have retained up to this time, willingly performing the required tasks and striving toward a Goal which loomed bright before them. Spring seemed glorious and they enjoyed it light-heartedly. After spending a few days of Summer, that season fascinated them, and while they enjoyed the warm sunshine still they heeded the threatening storms. However, they were so enthused that they could not restrain themselves and so expressed their sentiments in music, arts, and lively activities. This group of young people were so animated with life that they were loath to leave Summer, but Father Time could not wait and so they stepped over the boundaries into Autumn. This period seemed to cast a sad and gloomy aspect over all at first, but finally it taught these people to appreciate life in a different light. Guided through dark nights by the bright, gleaming stars of the faculty, they proceeded toward the festive white Winter. There were many dark storms throughout this season but they were cleared away by the many sports and social affairs which always accompany that Season. Nevertheless a sad and gloomy shade seemed to be cast over all: this was the end of a bright and happy year with only memories remain¬ ing. Everyone was downhearted and sad until now they have discovered that this one year of happiness has been only a forerunner of many similar bright years and seasons; and again Spring looms promising and bright in the FiTture. CAROL PUETZ FLORENCE ABE “A full rich nature free to trust.” 11 rence is forever laughing and irakes everycne around her laugh. As c ats poet she helped to make the : mu al a success. LUCILLE ALTER Meet the only senior of the girls basketball team. She has a temper which escapes once in a while but we like her just the same. ROY BAUER “He who invented work should have finished it.” Roy is the kind that likes to argue in class. He is the teacher’s chief worry. If you don’t believe this ask any of the section I students of En¬ glish 4. ALBERT BERLET “Snowball” likes everybody and everybody likes “Snowball.” He has caused much merriment during his high school career for which we are grateful. HELEN BICE “When joy and duty clash, let duty go to smash.’’ Helen is a girl that we all like. She is one of our staunchest helpers when it comes to class affairs. ORDELL BLANKENBAKER “Blessings on thee, little man.” Ordell is one of the “big” Seniors. He is always looking for a good time and usually finds what he is looking for. HELEN BONNORONT “A maiden never bold of spirit, still and quiet.’’ One new member to our class. Helen has not been here for so very long but she has made many friends during her brief stay. MARVIN BOYER “A jolly, good fellow.” Botkins was good to 11s when she sent this fellow up north. He joined us this year and has proven a worthy class-mate. MABEL BRACKNEY ‘ Welcome whereso’er she went.” Mabel has the power of thinking things out for herself. When you once gain her friendship she sticks to you through “thick and thin.” RICHARD BRADING “A youth was there, of quiet ways.” Politics is “Dick’s” hobby. He is a fine fellow and a good friend when you get acquainted with him. LEO BRUNER “We miss him, yet we feel him still, Admidst our faithful band, As if not death itself could chill The warmth of friendship’s hand.” CARL CLEAVES We couldn’t get along without Carl in the orchestra. He has a sense of humor such as few people possess. MABEL COIL “With hair of raven hue.” Mabel is one of our most accom¬ plished gigglers. Because of her ami¬ able and happy disposition she is a general favorite, both of the teachers and students. MILDRED CORNELL “Milly” is a very quiet girl in school. She does not have much to say, but when she does say something it has weight. HELEN CRAFT Helen is constantly worried about her lessons,, as she never has them! She can’t fool us—if she doesn’t know them why can she always recite? ROY CRAFT “A man’s a man for a’ that.” “Peck” is another member of the class of ’22 who is good-natured and always smiling. Energy is his middle name—when it comes to work for the annual. MARGARET DARST “O’er her fair face sprinkled free, Is a roguish tracery.” Margaret is a friend to all, and never swerves from the path of right. She’s studious yet-she loves a joke; and does her tasks with all her might. LYDIA DELONG “How many saucy airs we meet” “Lydie” hails from the wilds of the north. Because of her bright, sunny nature she has won a host of friends. ROSEMOND ESSER “Never sigh when you can sing, But laugh, like me, at everything.” “Posy” is another giggler among us. Most of the students who sit near her are afraid to study for fear that she will do something which they will miss. LEONARD DREXLER “Science surpasses the old miracles of mythology.” Leonard’s interest falls to that of science. He is especially fond of electricity. He spends most of his spare time working with electricity. LOUELLA ELSASS “She came and went.” We feel more like saying “hello” than “good-bye” to Louella. We aren’t so very well acquainted with her yet, but we like her smile. MELVIN ELSASS “If you don’t know—guess.” “Jiggers” is interested in baseball. He does not care for study, but most of us do not either so he is not an exception. CAROLINE ELSHOFF “Dear, simple maid.’’ New Knoxville seems to like us fine. We like them,, too, for the kind of students that they send up here. LORENA FEIL “With nature so sweet.” Lorena likes to tell jokes so she usually was chosen to give them in our Civics programs. Needless to say, we enjoyed them very much. MABEL FRISCHE “A quiet, unassuming, maid.” Mabel is one who does not believe in utward actions. Her sweet and i cnt ' c—we ' 1 , wards cannot express t i r appreciation of her. ANNA RUTH GEBHART “C ur hearts, our hopes, are all with thee.’’ Precious things are not always put rp in small packages. Anna Ruth has an eut ' ook on life which is all her own. We expect great things from her in the future as an alto singer. ELOISE HAMILTON “A maiden young and fair.” Eloise does not like to be called names, such as Skeeters” for in¬ stance, so we never say it. SYLVIA HOOPINGARNER “In Home Economics she excels.” A shy and timid girl is Sylvia, but that docs not keep us from liking her. She has a cheerful “hello” for every¬ one. MARY HOLTKAMP “Life’s too short to waste.” Mary hails from New Knoxville. She has a cheery smile for everyone she meets. Here’s hoping she may be as successful in her future life as she is in school. GLADYS HASTINGS “She cannot count her friends.” We say Gladys and Lucile like We say “bread and butter” or “cup and saucer.” They are always seen to¬ gether having a good time. BERNARD HOUTZ “In things athletic he doth shine.’’ Behold our basketball star! “Bernie” cares more for athletics than for any¬ thing else, unless it is teasing the lady members of the faculty. MARY HOWELL “Her submissive ways.” Mary is one who goes about her work quietly but accomplishes a great deal in the end. It is this type of girl that makes our class worth while. REGINA JOHNSON “None but an editor knows an edi¬ tor’s cares.’’ Regina is completing her high school course in three years. As our editor-in-chief she has made the An¬ nual “hum” on to a big success. MARJORIE KENTNER “Be whatever you will but yourself first of all.” Marjorie has been with us all through our school life. Her highest ambition is to become a school teacher. HILDA KAH “Sweet piece of bashful maiden art.’’ We have any number of quiet peo¬ ple in our class. Hilda is one of them,, too, as those who know her can tes¬ tify. ORVEL KILLIAN “Oh! perfumed suitor spare thy smiles.” Here’s another bright and shining light in athletics. He is not only a mediber of the basketball team but on the football squad. And that isn’t all —he is assistant editor-in-chief. RUTH KLUG “I love to laugh, I love to play.” “Demure” is the adjective which fits Ruth like a glove. Ruth is espe¬ cially fond of giggling in class, in fact she always is sure to make her presence known in this way. CHARLES KNOST “The pleased musician bowed and smiled.” As director of the Tunerville Band, Charlie has trained his boys so per¬ fectly that they have to be knocked down a few times before they can re¬ member to stop. Success to you “Red.” MARY KOEHL “A slight girl.’’ “Mickey” is as quiet as a mouse in school, but good gracious, she is just the opposite outside. She toe dances you know. KATHRYN KOLTER “Hail to thee, blithe spirit!” “Kate” is in on everything where the school is represented. She made her great hit in “Peggy O’Neill.” She is also an enthusiastic player of tennis and is a member of the class team. ARTHUR McPHERON “I never stood on ceremonies.” Arthur is another member of our class who is from Buckland. He likes Wapak school or he surely would not come here to finish his course. HARVEY McPHERON “That boy with the grave mathemati¬ cal look.” Harvey just joined us this year, coming, like Arthur, from Buckland. He has made many friends during his brief stay. 4 MARIE MERKLE “She doeth little kindnesses.” ' 4; r y m % Wjr, Marie never wastes a minute in school, that is why she always has her lessons. She insists on smiling to everyone. VIRGIL MERTZ “Mamma’s angel boy.” Why, oh, why do the teachers talk so much to him in the study hall? He is perfectly angelic and we see no reason for their acting thus. NORMA MILEY “Many a word my tongue has uttered” Norma likes to talk but she likes to laugh better. It is her talkative¬ ness that has caused her to get called down. ROY MILLER “A man of such a genial mood.” Mary found an able assistant car¬ toonist in “Davy”. Roy has many friends in school who wish him suc¬ cess after he leaves Blume High. KURT MUELLER “I’m as wild as wild can be.” As drummer in the Tunerville Band “Dutch” made a big hit with his sailor jigging. Kurt ' s friendly smile has won many friends during his high school career. EDWARD MUSSER “There are greater men than I have lived, but I don’t believe it.’’ “Ed” is strong on argument. When he knows a thing he knows he knows he knows it and lets others know that he know r s it. MIRIAM RABLE “Her heart is not in her studies, it is somewhere else.” Miriam is of the talkative kind and says the right thing at the wrong time. She is jolly and liked by all who know her. PAULINE PITTHAN “Prone to mischief, able to perform it’’ Here is a girl who can smile and frown, but we usually see her wear¬ ing the smile. She is a strong believer in woman’s rights. HOWARD READ “Fully and perfectly man.” Howard knows basketball from start to finish. He has great ability as a player, too. As athletic editor on the staff he has more than ful¬ filled his position. CAROL PUETZ “A form more fair, a face more sweet” Carol is our Priscilla. She made a very sweet Priscilla, as she does a Senior. MARY RODEHEFFER “My words were true.’’ Why did Mary get her seat changed in the study hall? We never could find out because she never says a word. ( ?) Maybe she will tell some¬ time. DELMA ROBERTS Some say Jean, others Delma, she will answer to either,.. Her name makes no difference as she is always ready to lend a helping hand. ANNE RINEHART “Hang sorrow, care would kill a cat.” We wonder why everyone—espe¬ cially the boys—teases Anne. She is a happy-go-lucky sort of girl and everybody likes her. ALFRED ROEDIGER ‘“An honest man’s the noblest work of God.” Alfred is a quiet level-headed fellow from the vicinity of Moulton. His most valuable time is divided between farming and school. EARL ROHRBACHER “A spirit calmer than the calmest lake.’’ Earl is interested in Science. When¬ ever oral reports are assigned we know what he will give. Not only doe he like Science, but he knows it. LUCILE SCHNELL “She has struggled, yearned, and aspired.” Lucile is thoroughly feminin e. Her high school life was varied, being full of both work and play. META SCHULTZ “For she was jes’ the quiet kind.” Meta came last year, too, to join 11 s. She will not forget her classmates and they certainly will not forget her. WILBUR SCHWARK “Serve yourself, would you be well served.’’ Wilbur is the man of our class. He is a typical Miles Standish and we know that he makes a good one. Wil¬ bur is well liked by his classmates. LEONA SEITZ “A kindly, quiet spirit where malice finds no home.” Although quiet and reserved, Leona has gained many friends. Her entire school life has been spent with us and she has proven herself worthy of the name Senior. GENELLE SHAFFER “I ask no more than is due to me, though much is due.” “Jelly” is one of the most versatile and talented girls in our class. Espe¬ cially does she excel in dramatics and she is always willing to use her talent for the pleasure of her classmates. REX SETTLEMIRE ‘—-that tower of strength, Which stood foursquare to all the v inds that blew.” All hail to our glorious president! As he is always the same nice fellow to everyone he meets, his future will surely be bright with success. ROY SHAFFER “Eut an idle boy.” Lock whom we have here, the lion. Loy Shaffer. He is an adept at sav¬ ing time—for the students in English IV from 10:30 to 11:15. GERTRUDE SMITH “Talking is silver but silence is golden.” Gertrude came to us from Criders- ville last fall. Her main characteristic is that she wastes no words. EDYTHE SMITH “Hence, loathed Melancholy.” Edythe never is quiet, in or out of school. She has a pair of brown eyes which she uses to her advantage. .jo MARY SMITH “Art is power.” Mary loves Art with a capital A— that is why she was chosen as class artist. We suspect that Mary will educate herself along this line in the future. WILBERT SOUTH “Go slow, but be sure.” Everyone has an ambition, Wilbert’s is to be a prize fighter. We like to see everyone succeed so we hope that Wilbert will reach his star. RHOENA SPEES “Wee modest crimson tip’t flower.’’ Rhoena never comes to class with¬ out her lesson. She is a good student and a staunch friend. LOREN STEINER ‘Looked cooly around him with sharp common sense.” Loren joined our happy throng in the Junior year and has proven a worthy classmate. VIRGIL STEWART “I shall steadily aim higher.” Virgil is one of the most all-round fellows in the class. He is a leader and is successful in all he undertakes. His business ability has been shown in his splendid success as business manager of the Retrospect. MARY STEINECKER “She questions all the winds that blow.’’ Mary came to us last year, too. She certainly was, and is, a welcome member to our class. ADELIA STOLL “Maiden! with the meek brown eyes.” Adelia is quiet and a friend to everyone. In her own circle of friends, Adelia drops her quiet ways and joins in every form of jollity. LEO STOLL “Man wants but little here below.” Please find above the likeness of another of our loyal members. l!e is a .strong supporter in a.l matters con¬ cerning the school. ELIZABETH SW1NK ‘ As quiet, as cool, as dignified.’’ Elizabeth is a real Senior. Although cool and dignified in school, she is not that way outside. VERNON SWINK “With aspect grand and grave. Vernon is taking a post graduate course and this is the first time that we ever saw him. lie seems to like � nr class though, especially one mem- lter of it. THELMA TOBIAS “I breathed a song into the air.” Thelma is our prima-donna, who made her reputation in “Polished Pebbles.” We hate to lose her so soon but— EVERETT TURNBULL ‘‘Always into mischief Teachers pride and joy.” Everett is a joke himself so how could we keep from having him as joke editor on the staff? He is our vice-presidenl, too. and a fine one. N. W , 1 ‘ ' -■ if 9 -3S ISABELLA WHETSTONE “Warm with smiles and blushes.” JjLM ' ;U; ' i : h;UdiUi;si aLif£dlU “Isie” has been with us but one short year, but in that time she has proven an excellent student and class¬ mate. RONALD WALTZ “We’re glad he came to town.” Such a dignified Senior we don’t very often see. Fate in the form of the Western Ohio brought him to us last September. VERNON WEIMERT “For he was musically inclined.’’ Vernon is quiet but we know that he is here for we see him in the or¬ chestra. GERALD WALTZ “A manly form.” Gerald is interested in politics. He can answer almost any question on government which is put to him. HOWARD ZERKLE “I’ll leave big footprints on the sands of time.” Howard is “little but mighty.” His nickname is not a reflection on him because he can’t help it that he is so short. (?) LOUELLA WHEELER “Oh fairest of the rural maids.” “Johnny” is what we call her. She joined us this year, too, and has won a place in our hearts which no other can ever fill. 1922 I Retrospect 1922 SENIOR CLASS PROPHECY New York City, March 8, 1934. Dearest Carol, We were very much surprised and pleased to find a personal letter among our daily stack of business letters. M e were astonished to learn that Howard Zerkel, who had been star-gazing all of his life, had become a re¬ nowned astronomer, and was receiving much aid in his line from his wife, who was formerly Mary Rodeheffer; also the great amount of attention which Rev. Vergil Mertz is receiving from his small congregation, which reminds me; Edward Musser is the pastor of our church with Gertrude Smith as his first organist and Anna Ruth Gebhart, director of the choir. Did we understand you to say that Kurt Mueller is the head physician at the Airdale hospital and Helen Rice his head nurse? 1 � y the way, we hear that Caroline Elshoff left for that hospital because of serious injuries she re¬ ceived in an automobile accident which occurred when she. Mar Holtcamp, Roy Bauer, and Richard Brading were hit by the 17 express on the B. O. railroad. W hile skimming the newspaper we noticed that Loren Stiener, a prom¬ inent lawyer, had just won his case on the Settlemire divorce suit. Mrs. Set- tlemire was formerly Lucile Schnell. Glancing down we saw in the want column that Albert Berlet, a wealthy farmer, had one of his largest farms for sale, advertised by Alfred Roediger, his superintendent of affairs. We wish you might have enjoyed the production of Seniorita Rilla” with us, in which Thelma Tobias took the leading role supported by the fol¬ lowing: Norma Miley, Miriam Rable, Genelle Schaffer, Charles Knost, Ron¬ ald Waltz and Melvin Elsass. M e are verv much interested in this as ou mentioned the fact that it was written by Helen Craft, produced by Vernon Swink and directed by Bernard Houtz and Roscmond Esser, and the scenery designed by Mary Smith and Roy Miller. Perhaps it would interest you to hear that Ordell Blankenbaker and Roy Craft are touring Europe with their wives (formerly Mabel Brackne j and Margaret Darst) respectively. Isn’t it wonderful to hear that one of our old class mates, namely Vergil Stewart, was elected president of the I ' nited States and we now hear that he has chosen Regina Johnson as his Secretary of State. You know it was quite a coincidence that not long ago, out of mere curiosity, we visited a clair¬ voyant and he predicted that; he also told us that he could see Elizabeth Swink and Mabel Frische as missionaries to a foreign country; Gerald Waltz, the owner of a large department store in Chicago; Marjorie Kentner, Ruth Klug and Mabel Coil as owners of a large beauty parlor in San Francisco; Luella Elsass and Helen Bonnoront as school teachers in their home town ; Marie Merkle and Marvin Boyer happily married and residing in Botkins; Howard Read was made superintendent and Wilbur Schwark, principal, Meta Schultz, Mary Stienecker and Adelia Stoll, teachers in old Blume High; Edythe Smith, Delma Ro1)erts, and Leona Seitz had won fame as movie ac¬ tresses and are residing in Hollywood ; Lucille Alter and Eloise Hamilton as instructors of Physical culture in Miami Lniversity. This may he trivial to you but it greatly impressed us. Have you read Mary Howell ' s latest novel? The scene of this novel, so she tells us, is laid at her country home on the Hudson and two of the char¬ acters prove to he none other than Sylvia Hoopingarner and Mildred Cornell. Her book was put through the Chicago publishing house which is owned by Carl Cleaves, Wilbur South and Leo Stoll. Leonard Drexler has just patented his fourteenth invention. In one of his recent articles in a late magazine he states that much of his success is due to the valuable assistance of Roy Shaffer and Earl Rohrbacher. We were not astonished to hear of the generosity of Mary Koehl, Hilda Kali, Lorena Fed, and Anne Rinehart who are doing charity work in the slum districts of your city. They are greatly aided by Vernon Weimert, a great financier, and Rhoena Spees, who plans the workers’ daily routine. Louella Wheeler and Isabelle Whetstone are her untiring stenographers. Orvel Killian, America’s greatest athlete, accompanied by his wife nee Gladys Hastings, has sailed for Europe to take part in the Olympian games. Lady Lydia DeLong, wbfe of Duke Kridersville, will receive Mr. and Airs. Killian at her palace in Allenburg. Isn’t that lovely? Wouldn’t it be splen¬ did if we could visit Lydia sometime? Oh yes, Arthur and Harvey AlcPheron have gone out west and bought a large ranch. We almost envy them for as you well know it’s always been our desire to go west. Pauline Pitthan has become a leading societ - lady in old New York. I think you also mentioned the fact that you met Lillian Morscheck wdiile you were touring Europe, and right now 7 we want to congratulate you and Air. Turnbull, tell your husband we know what a lucky man he is. Don’t forget that we love to receive your newsy letters. Very sincerely.

You claim to know so much why don’t you turn out some students to exceed all those preceding.” This set old Wisdom thinking, and, scratching his old grey head, he replied, “I haven’t been filling my place lately, I’ll admit, so to please you, 1 will graduate in twelve years the best class of high school students that was ever produced.” Old Wisdom began right away with our class. He took us through the basement of “Knowledge” known as the eight grades. We were all excited one September three years ago when father Wisdom told us we would take the elevator to the first floor of high school. There was much more on this floor floor than in the basement of this large building. We stayed on this floor one whole year, examining the different scenes: basketball, football, orches¬ tra, glee clubs, and frequently lending a helping hand—for WE were needed. Our hoys responded to the call from Moulton and our girls supplied them with doughnuts. Father Wisdom led us safely to the next floor the next September to ini¬ tiate us as Sophomores. We now had much confidence in ourselves as well as Wisdom. A few of our boys entered the hall teams and succeeded. Our girls entered the glee club, and both boys and girls enrolled themselves in the orchestra. We were also represented in the High School Band and if we had not lent a helping hand to the track meet, Blume High would never have carried the silver cup home. Freshmen as well as Seniors looked up to us and breathed under their breaths, “If only we knew so much.” We are now Juniors residing on the third floor of ‘‘Knowledge” where Wisdom guided us safely, as he did so he muttered, “They have not disap¬ pointed me yet and I do not think they will for they are made of material that will stick.” This year we have worked diligently and always looked up to the next floor with high hopes of occupying it next year. Many of us are striv¬ ing with a Business Course while others are conquering Latin or French. Our boys were successful, as we always were in anything we undertook, in bas¬ ketball and football. The orchestra would not he complete without our mu¬ sicians and the operetta “Polished Pebbles” would have been a failure had not two of our girls taken the leading parts. The High School Band also is known far and wide for its talented “Junior Members.” Old Wisdom and Father Time are proud of us, for we have more than fulfilled their hopes, only a few of our class having dropped out and the rest striving on with unceasing toil. We long to reach the next floor but we will not stop with that; old Wisdom will lead us on to the land of our hopes call¬ ed “Success.” RUBY TAYLOR 1922 1922 SOPHOMORE CLASS f • it 1922 Retrospect 1922 CLASS POEM Under the walls of old Blume Hi The Sophmore class does study; The Sophs a mighty class are they, With fertile and growing brains; And the feats of their courageous acts Show they work with their mights and mains. Week in, week out, from morn till night, You can hear their voices low ; You can see them swing a mighty pen With measured beat and slow. Like a teacher ringing the school house bell, When the evening sun is low. Toiling—rejoicing—sorrowing Onward thru school they’ll go Each year to see some task begin, At the end to see it close; Something attempted, something done; Has earned the name Sophmores. F. A.—K. K.

We were not exceedingly large in quan¬ tity but high in quality. We soon astonished the upper classes by our knowl¬ edge and progressiveness in both athletics and studies. All through the year we kept up our reputation and beginning our Sophomore course, we develop¬ ed anew our energy and enthusiasm. We did not lose our merits. We shone especially in athletics. On the girl’s basketball team all were Sophomores but one. The boys, too, showed the same superiority and won high honors on both track and football field. But our accomplishments were not all confined to sports. For dramatic ability and music one should have come to our class for the leading roles to have them enacted with exceptional ability. In glee club work and in programs our musicians found great favor. One of the best accomplishments of the class was the Parasite, a school paper, edited mainly by Sophomores and pub¬ lished once a week in a local paper. On the whole we were always in for fun, adopting any plan for the amusement of ourselves or our fellow classmates. We radiated kindness and congeniality to our friends and respect to our teachers. In the coming years we hope to do our best. There will be new fields to conquer, new battles to be fought, and new honors to be gained. We leave the memory of the Sophomore class of Blume High School neither blotted nor stained, and as the poet, Whittier, said, “Another hand is beckoning us, Another call is given.” We go on.

We must confess we were very timid and afraid to do anything for fear of being laughed at; but as time went on, we became accustomed to the rules and regulations, and were ready for hard work. We can truly say about our class, what is best to be said about any class, that it has done well in school although it has been here only a year. We do not intend to stop here, but expect to make the best time of our life the next three years. We appreciate the opportuni¬ ties offered us and hope to use them to the best of our ability. Will we suc¬ ceed? We surely will if our work progresses as it has. Some of our freshmen have won very prominent places in the different activities. In basket ball we achieved no little success; we reached the height of our ambitions when we won the game with the Sophomores. In foot-ball, too, we made a name for ourselves, two of our members having done excel¬ lent work on the team. Nor were our labors confined to physical feats, only; we contributed no small part toward the success of musical organizations, such as the glee club and orchestra. We can rightly say that there are few, if any, slackers in our class. We expect to keep on successfully, and in the end leave Blume High knowing the victory has been ours.

The purpose of this club, which meets every alternate Thursday of the month, is to stimulate the interest of the Latin students in the language, customs and mythology of old Greece and Rome. The pro¬ grams of the club, given at the meetings, are always helpful and instructive along one of these three lines. The architecture, language, customs and dress of these ancient, but cultured countries have been quite thoroughly discussed at the various club meetings throughout the year. The second purpose for which this club was organized was to secure a better spirit of cooperation, and to stimulate social intercourse among the members of the various classes. The “eats” served at the close of the meet¬ ings certainly aided in carrying into effect this latter purpose. Latin songs were one of the unique features of these programs and added much to create an “atmosphere” in which we would enjoy the beautiful myths and classical dances of these ancient countries of Greece and Rome. Latin games, too, were enjoyed at these meetings. So far this club has been a wonderful success. Those who first scoffed at the idea of interesting the children in a “dead” language, have been made to sit up and take notice for every member of the club is bubbling over with en¬ thusiasm and anxious to see this club live and flourish. Since we first organ¬ ized many new names have been added to our roll. Among the various things the club intends to sponsor in the future are, a picture show with a free matinee for school children, a Latin play entitled “A Roman Wedding”, in which the religious and civil ceremonies of Rome will be portrayed, and a picnic at which games of Greece and Rome will be played. This club is one of the organizations which show the progressive spirit of our high school, and will, no doubt, accomplish much in developing our Latin course and our interest in that splendid language Latin. - - HOME ECONOMICS CLUB Hark! Listen to us! We, the homemakers of the future, organized January 23, 1922, under the snappy name “Home Economics Club.” We have eighty members enrolled in this much needed club. We all enjoy to the high¬ est extent our meetings, which are held in the auditorium of Blume High, every alternate Tuesday noon. The members always look forward with an¬ ticipation to these meetings, and they have a real reason for doing so too, as perfectly delicious lunches are served and many helpful “household hints” are exchanged. Oh yes these girls know what real helpful ' ‘household hints” are, thanks to their efficient teachers, Miss Schmidt and Miss Dakin. This club shows the really progressive spirit of the school and proves how reallv in earnest our girls are to mee t the high, efficient standards of the present day American housewife. They eagerly plan for all their events and always have a great success in anything they undertake. A great deal of the success the girls have had in carrying on their club is due to their efficient officers, and the cooperative spirit that exists among the girls. The purposes of this club are, first, to keep the interest of those girls who have finished their school work in Home Economics alive and active, and secondly to stimulate social intercourse among the girls. The club has suc¬ ceeded well in its purposes. Long may it last. HOME ECONOMICS CLUB OFFICERS: President. Vice President. Treasurer. Secretary.

CLUB Pres.Virgil Stewart Sec.Kurt Mueller V. Pres.Everett Turnbull Treas.Paul Fisher One bright sunny afternoon a group of high spirited, energetic, and en¬ thusiastic boys assembled in the reading room for the purpose of organizing a club which would help to make Blume Pligh a better school. The result of this meeting was the formation of the Booster’s club, the first of its kind at Blume High. The Club was composed of the school’s best boy students and with its splendid leaders many fine things have been accomplished this year. The purpose of the Booster’s club was to keep the school spirit up to par, boost all good movements that would help the school or city, and try to se¬ cure a gymnasium and public library. Also the club has done everything within its power to give Blume High the best athletic teams in this section of Ohio. Many things have not been finished by the club due to the late start, but it is hoped that the organization will be a permanent one at Blume High School.

Chorus of Sunbonnet girls and Overall boys The operetta given by the High School chorus on February 17, 1922, at the Brown Theatre, pleased a very large audience. The excellent cast, support¬ ed by the mixed chorus, under the personal direction of Miss Grace Mytinger, music instructor, made the operetta a very well staged play. The proceeds were turn¬ ed over to the library fund. The plot was as follows: Mrs. O’Brien, living on a small farm, has been given $5000 by her brother Robert, for the education of her two daughters and her niece who is living with her. She takes the money and her two daughters to the city, leaving the niece. The money is soon spent foolishly and a letter written to Robert for more. Uncle Bob, however, doesn’t like the quick action with his money and tells them to meet him at the farm. He arrives ahead of them, assumes the role of an old negro and is a witness to their artificial life and their shameful, unkind treatment of Rosalie, his niece. 1922 Retrospect 1922 LOWER CLASS PLAY “The Rejuvenation of Aunt Mary” was the play given by the Juniors, Sophomores and Freshmen of Blume High School on March 24, at the Brown Theater. The Li¬ brary fund was greatly depleted and the purpose of the play was to replenish it. The play is a comedy in three acts, written by Anne Warner. It clearly illustrates what a trip to New York and a taste of city life will do for a typical little country wo¬ man. On her return to the country she is dissatisfied with the quiet life and quickly plans to return and make the city her permanent home. The play was given under the direction of Miss Naomi Caldwell and the success is due to her untiring efforts and the cooperation she received. The cast was as follows: Aunt Mary Watkins.Elizabeth Whiteman John Watkins, Jr., Denham “Jack”.Reinhold Erickson Robert Burnett. Harold Bailey Hubert Kendrick Mitchell.Frederick Klipfel H. Wyncoop Clover.Paul Fisher (The above three are Jack’s chums) Bertha Burnett, “Betty”.Irene Sheets Mr. Stebbens, lawyer.Ronald Minton Joshua, Aunt Mary’s hired man.Virgil Foster Lucinda, Aunt Mary’s maid.Goerdis Ziegler The Girl from Kalamazoo.Lilith Davis James, the Burnett butler.Willard Wilson Daisy Mullins, villager.Christine Dittmer Eva, Burnett maid. Doris Fischer A ROMAN WEDDING Among the primary purposes for which the classical club was formed, the teaching of the customs and manners of ancient Greece and Rome stood out as distinctly the most important. For the purpose of advancing this study, a Latin playlet “A Roman Wedding” was given by the members of the club on the evening of April 21. This meeting was designated as guest night and a large audience witnessed the play. The success of this play was due largely to the untiring efforts of Miss Norma Wintzer, Latin teacher.

KNOST FLORENCE ABE GENELLE SHAFFER EVERETT TURNBULL Temple’s Teleg RICHARD BRADING CAROL PUETZ VERGIL MERTZ 99 ram An amusing farce in which two characters of the same name involve the principals in difficulties. Mr. Jack Temple. (Vergil Mertz) having stayed out all night at an Exhibition, im¬ prisoned in a Ferris Wheel, returns home early the next morning. He informs his wife of his imprisonment in the Wheel but as Mrs. Temple (Genelle Shaffer) refuses to believe the truth he invents a falsehood, telling her he spent the night at the home of a friend, Mr. John Brown, a name which he himself originates. Mrs. Temple in turn sends a telegram to the supposed Mr. Brown, stating that her future happiness depends upon his coming at once, in this way hoping to find out the truth of her husband’s story. As Mrs. Temple is preparing to leave for her mothers, Mrs. Frank Fueller, (Florence Abe),, the lady with whom Jack was imprisoned in the Ferris Wheel, comes to ask for her field glasses which she loaned him the previous night. But finds that Jack has given them to Dorothy (Carol Puetz), very much in love with Capt. Sharpe (Richard Brading). She arranges to return for the glasses at a more op¬ portune time. As she leaves Frank Fueller (Rex Settlemire), a friend of Jack’s, comes to the rescue, telling Temple that he will take the part of John Brown. He tells Mrs. Temple how completely wrong she was in her suspicions of her husband and brings the couple together again. In the meantime Wigson, the butler, (Everett Turnbull) admits a man who gives his name as John Brown. The telegram has been delivered to the real John Brown (Chas. Knost) much to the dismay of Fuller and Temple. The true Mr. Brown has carelessly forgotten the telegram sent to him by Mrs. Temple and it falls into the hands of his wife (Kathryn Kolter) who is very much aroused and starts after him immedi¬ ately. Mrs. Fuller returns to the Temple home and finds her husband, Frank, is Jack’s most devout friend. Of course there is much explaining to be done, but the play ends with a reconciliation of all concerned. “THE PARASITE” The members of the Sophomore class took a short course in Journalism as part of the English II course. At the conclusion of their work Miss Caldwell, the instructor of English II chose the staff for a school paper. The members of the staff were composed chiefly of Sophomores and one member from the Senior. Junior and Freshman classes. It was decided to call the paper the “Parasite” because the news came from Blume High, and thru the kindness of the “Wapakoneta Daily News” space was given each Saturday evening in that paper. The first edition was printed November 12, 1921. The aim of the “Parasite” is to inform the public and ex-graduates of the happen¬ ings and changes constantly taking place at Blume High. The slogan of the paper is “If You Can’t Boost—Don’t Knock,” and the motto “Whatever is worth hearing is worth printing.” Since the first edition, the paper has steadily grown and now covers an entire page of the “Daily News.” The readers of the “Parasite” have learned to appreciate the school paper and look forward to the new editions from week to week. The suc¬ cess of the paper is due to the efforts of the instigator, Miss Caldwell, and to the splen¬ did cooperation of the public and the staff with the editor-in-chief, Minor Sibert. n tUftY .

FOOT BALL -tgj- Football made it’s first appearance in Blume High School this year and the school was very fortunate in securing the excellent coaching of Judge R. E. Boesel and Dr. G. B. Faulder both of whom were college stars. These men developed a wonderful team from boys that were practically inexperienced. ST. MARYS VS. WAPAK The first game was played with St. Marys on our own field. Our boys played a splendid game and at the end of the third quarter the score was 0-0, despite the fact that our boys were playing ring.- ' around them. In the last quarter old Dame Fortune smiled upon St. Marys and the visitors were victorious with the score 19-0. SIDNEY VS. WAPAK The second game was with the strong Sidney eleven and we were more fortun¬ ate. Blume High eleven started off with a rush and in a few minutes they had Sidney’s line torn open and our star half-back Tuffy” Lechner scored our first touchdown. After this we scored at will and when the game ended the score was 26-7. WAPAK VS. LIMA This game was played at Lima with Lima South High. As it had rained the week preceding the game, it was impossible to practice and it was thought that the game would be called off. But due to some mismanagement it was not. When the boys en¬ tered the field they waded mud and water almost to their ankles, but still they played the game. They were defeated 68-0. WAPAK VS. ST. MARYS Everyone looked forward to this game very much. The band and about two hun¬ dred and fifty rooters traveled to our neighboring city expecting to take them into camp but our boys played their worst game of the season, and were defeated by the score of 24-0. HIGH SCHOOL VS. CITY TEAM Blume High team played its last game with the City team and showed what they were made of by defeating them 13-6. PROSPECTS FOR 1922 The prospects for an excellent team for the coming year are very bright. We have, with the exception of three players, the same team we had this year. With an extra year of coaching we should have a team that will be a hard proposition to beat.

WAYNESFIELD—DEC. 16TH Our first game was with Waynesfiekl and it proved an easy victory. We took them into camp to the tune of 30-19. About a hundred rooters accompanied the team. WAPAK VS.. PIQUA—DEC. 17TH The night following the Waynesfield game the team journeyed to Piqua to meet the fast Piqua High School team. Although the floor was small, they put up a strong fight and in the second half scored more points than their opponents. The final score was 24-46 in Piqua’s favor. This was one of Piqua’s hardest games. They had been playing such teams as Daytm, .Stivers, Springfield, and Hamilton. WAPAK VS. DELPHOS—DEC. 23RD On this date our boys visited Delpho and were engaged in a battle with the fast St. John High. This team is one of the strongest in the state and to date have won eighteen straight games. But, despite this record, our team was able to give them a hard fight without being swamped. The score 15-37. WAPAK VS. LIMA—JAN. 6TH Our next game was with Liuia South High. An extra amount of coaching made it certain we could give Lima a good fight and we were ml disappointed. The score was close at all times, in the second half it was 17-17 but in the last few minutes of play Lima forged ahead and the result was 23-18 in their favor. WAPAK VS. SPENCERVILLE—JAN. 20TH This was one game that we were confident of winning, but were doomed to disap¬ pointment for we lost by the score of 16-28. WAPAK VS. ST. MARYS This was the game of games and our boys after a week of hard practice journeyed to St. Marys accompanied by about one hundred and fifty rooters. The game was fast and close and at the end of the first half we lead 9-3, but in the second (half they came back strong and tied the score. The time was extended five minutes in which our opponents made a foul basket and we a field basket which ended the game 21-22 in Wapak’s favor. WAPAK VS. OTTAWA—FEB. 24TH After three weeks rest the team went to Ottawa where they found the slippriest floor in the state. Being unaccustomed to such a floor they were unable to compete satisfactorily. We lost the game with the score 38-6. WAPAK VS. NEW HAMPSHIRE This was the only appearance of the second team this season. It was a hard game and was played on a small floor which accounts for the small score. Wapak won 13-5. GIRLS’ BASKET BALL TEAM LUCILLE ALTER (C).Forward DOROTHY DOERING.

' 1 he best advice we can give to you Is to study and try to succeed. Don’t hang around in the study hall And act like you want to he freed. Don’t giggle and whisper and act up” W e never did you see And we put ourselves up as a model On which we know you ' ll agree. Don’t ask to speak too many times Or the teachers will find you out And then the time oh, sad to tell When the teachers will bawl ) ou out. Don’t interrupt when a Senior speaks And shows his knowledge profound, But sit in silence and gaze at one Who, so to speak, knows his ground. Don’t play hookey, for that is wrong And the penalty is severe, We’ve had experience along this line, And the price we paid was too dear. And now that we’ve told you what not to do We will leave the rest with you, But use your rights as they ought to he used And we’re sure that you will get through. K. K.—F. A.

WEATHER: EDITORIALS The great question as to whether or not chick¬ ens would lay eggs if more light were allowed has been forcibly brought to our attention these last few days. Virgil Mertz, the famous poultry fi¬ nancier, has been experimenting for some time and now declares his hens are laying two eggs a day. Well all we can say is, “Congratulations, Virgil.” This office has been an advocate for good roads for a long time, now, that our own Senator Stoll has been made a victim, maybe our commission¬ ers, Craft, Read, and Hoopingarner will take some notice of the wishes of the people. COURT NEWS Probate Court The last will and testament of Everett Turn- bull, deceased, was admitted to probate Monday. Among his numerous bequests was that of be¬ queathing his wife, Carol, to John Shockey Esq. subject to John’s approval. The case of the State of Ohio vs. Charles Knost in the matter of flunking was dismissed at the plaintiff ' s cost. Mary and Edith Smith of Botkins were brought before Probate Judge Boyer on the charge of having appeared on the street with their galashes fastened. Judge Boyer left them off with a five dollar fine because of their vamping eyes. Marriage License Lucile Schnell, school teacher, 29, Rex Settle- mire, farmer, 34. Rev. Rhodeheifer. Mabel Brackney, nurse 32, Marvin Boyer, judge, 27. Rosamond Esser, typist, 33, Charles Kolter, banker 17. (Consent of groom’s parents) Real Estate Ronald Waltz swapped his long-eared mule to Vernon Weimert for a postage stamp. Mabel Coil traded her giggle to Mr. Menschel for his smile. Harold Bailey traded his gracefulness with Charles Clay. Mary Rodeheffer and Isabelle traded seats at Mr. Swaidner’s request. FORD SMASHED Leo Stoll, U. S. Senator from Ohio, was mir¬ aculously saved from death when his Ford car overturned as a result of bad roads. Mrs. Stoll, nee Taylor who accompanied Mr. Stoll, was slightly bruised. I used to think, I knew I knew But now I must confess The more I know, I know, I know I know I know the less. ODE TO MY LOST HAIR I sat in the barber’s chair, And watched him cut off my hair; And when my hair was cut off, I noticed the people scoff. And when they looked at me, I felt as bashful as could be, But now that my hair is in curls I outshine all the other girls. CAN YOU IMAGINE Miss C. doing the Camel Walk? Regina as a suffragette? Ed Musser a public speaker? Lucile A agreeing? V. Mertz without his bluff? Miss Campbell giving a short test? Miss Campbell with humps? Mr. Swaidner without his red neckties? i Smith girls without galoshes? Kate Kolter stuck up? Kurt Mueller getting nineties? Mr. Menschel proposing? We can’t. Baby in the home brew fell, See the grief on mother’s brow?

Accordingly, they pasted every other two sheets of his Bible to¬ gether, and awaited results. Next morning he began : “Now Josiah took unto himself a wife of the daughters of Belial.” (Turns leaf) “She was eighteen cubits in height and ten cubits in breadth. (Pause, and careful scrutiny of former page.) Then he began again. ‘‘Now Josiah took unto himself a wife of the daughters of Belial. She was eighteen cubits in height, and ten cubits in breadth and was pitched within and without—’’ (Painful pause, and sounds of subdued mirth) Then the Professor looked again at the former page in perplexity, and said, “Young gentlemen, I can only add that man is fearfully and wonderfully made, and—woman also !” ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦- Eugene Wood and Avary Stone were standing on a street corner.
