Wapakoneta High School - Retrospect Yearbook (Wapakoneta, OH)

Text from Pages 1 - 124 of the 1928 volume:

FOR a last glance over the events which have stood foremost in our school-life; as a record of the work and play, joys and sorrows, victories and defeats which we have experienced, we the class of ’28, do present this “Retrospect” to our schoolmates and friends for their enjoyment and appreciation. MISS POSTLE has been our guiding star through the sea of “Knowledge.” Patiently and willingly she has endeavored to assist us in our every undertaking. Her charming personality and sweet disposition will be, in years to come, a cherished memory. “To know her is to love her,” may well be said of Miss Postle. In gratitude and in love we dedicate this Twenty-second Volume of the Retrospect to her. €t)t Retrospect Appreciation to Board of Education For the advantages which they make possible for us, for the assistance willingly given in every difficulty, for their generosity and interest they have taken in our school, we, the Senior Class of ’28 take this means of expressing our deepest and most sincere appreciation. yj MEMBERS MR.

But nevertheless we do thank you, And honor and love you still: And when we go forth from Blutne High School And all the way seems uphill, We’ll think of the guide of our school days, Who taught us to work each day, Then we’ll conquer all things before us Which seem to obstruct our way. —MAMIE E.

And, continuing like the same shower, soon filled up many empty places and began to be dissolved into their surroundings. As time went on, they began to move about; going around obstacles, over or thru them, but always going. In this they differed from the gentle rain by going always higher and higher instead of lower. As more and more of the clouds cleared away, this class began to shine, and the many sparkles here and there marked the places of honor held by its members. In 1928 when all of the twists and turns had been passed and all the members had united into one great river, which nothing had, or ever could have succeeded in stopping, they plunged into the sea of success, taking along with them much sediment, in the form of knowledge, to be used to create new things and be deposited, in the end, in the History of the World. FRANKLIN ROMSHE yj Senior Class Poem The voyage is over. The shore is drawing nigh; Shadows of fond memories Bring back the days gone by. Our journey's well completed For thus our captains say; Under whose skillful guidance We’ve toiled each busy day. Must we depart to other lands? Must we our farewell say? We sure will miss the good times That you’ll enjoy each day.

Would their future success be certain? These questions and many others troubled my mind till I no longer could endure it. So I made a pilgrimage to the Oracle of Delphi, and there, begged for assuring answers to my questions. Lo! from the depths of the cavern a prophecy was given to me, a wonderful prophecy, and I retyrned home rejoicing. Here is the prophecy as it was given to me. “Quiet thy fears, oh high and mighty senior of the Class of '28, for from thy class I see three great surgeons who are startling the world with their miracles in surgery.

These little folk were rather fearul, but they were also proud, for were they not freshmen and might not the entire fate of Blume-Hi rest upon their shoulders at some future date? The freshmen days were found to be rather difficult. there were problems to face of which we had never heard. The greatest one of these was the eternal question of doors. There were doors to the right of us—doors to the left of us—and they all stared at us with an unfriendly gaze. It was not long before the seniors demanded a class meeting. We freshmen scratched our heads. What on earth was a class meeting? Finally after the seniors demanded, the juniors pleaded, and the sophomores jeered, we got together and organized. This was the real beginning of the class of 1929. Then after waiting, as everything comes to those who wait, the sophomore year came. We took up the assembly hall with pride, and kept it most of the year. At last we had come into our own. As the year rolled to its close we assumed the wisdom of Solomon and the pomp of Caesar. For brilliancy, for consistency, for sheer ability in all lines, the class of 1929 will long be remembered. In the full course of time our junior year has arrived, this present year. Established in our new lofty position we watched the new arrivals struggle for our vacant plains. As an active, energetic, able class, with an active leader, we have always been foremost on every occasion, within or without school. Our march has always continued onward. Already we are in sight of our goal. Only a short march forward and we are past the divide which marks this school from that Greater School—Life. The curtain now falls on this class as juniors, but will soon rise again on the fourth and final scene, this class as seniors. At the lower rung we started On the ladder of Success; We and toil must ne’er be parted If we hope to reach the Crest. JOHN WERNER Junior Class Poem The Juniors are a happy class, They never try to shirk; 1 hey’re wise and yet persistent, They work and work and work. But still we find them happy, With the joy of work well done: And hope when their school is finished, To find their race well run. And when in life, right up in front, We see you take your place: Keep right on going, Juniors, With a steady, forward pace. MAMIE E.

There was much doubt as to what course to pursue, and, as a result, a few gave up in despair. Mr. Athletics, Mr. Organization, and Miss Music, who were among the crew acted as good Samaritan and soon had everyone forgetting himself and becoming interested in his surroundings. With the aid of the pilot. Mr. Superintendent, and the chief mechanic. Mr. Principal, they were soon pulled through the fog, and all looked forward to coming to Sophomore Island. After a long time the island was reached in 1927. The crew spent a season of hard study on the various sections of this island. Every one had become eager to go on, so after replenishing the supply of knowledge, the ship rose in the air and sailed away to “Junior” continent with only a few left behind. The sophomores now come into view, They are a class that’s ready; To help another, or to do The work that’s long and steady. When duty calls they do not shirk, Rut plunge right in, and master; And so they finish all their work, Thus progressing much faster.

Several weeks have passed and the sophomores are beginning to take notice of the freshmen class. So many girls are going out for glee club that Miss Mytinger is organizing them into a separate club. I also heard her say she had a good representation of freshman in the orchestra. The juniors and seniors have also taken notice of this remarkable class and are talking about the number that have gone out for athletics. I have heard them speaking of the large representation of freshmen in the various clubs of Blume High. Tick! Tock! Tick! Tock!

Perhaps we’ve done many things wrong, But we did just the best that we could; And now tho’ we’ve not been here long We act as we’ve learned that we should. Dear teachers and schoolmates, we thank you, For your willingness to help us along, And we trust, in the future, that we too, May be able to help those who are wrong. We’re leaving Blume Hi light of heart, Because we have finished our work. And when we as sophomores the term start, We'll all do our best, and not shirk. MAMIE E. OLIVER Cbc Uctrospcrt The Student Council Marcellus Enierick ......Morris Smith ......Vernon Bobb President ...... Vice President Secretary ..... This year for the first time Blume High has attempted student government. The organization is composed of twelve members, three boys from each of the four classes, and its purpose is to carry out the laws of the school and in every way possible better its conditions. By having this form of government, each person in the school feels his or her responsibility and, therefore, less violation of the rules will occur. Although it has just been started and is as yet a new undertaking, we hope to make it an effective and lasting organization of Blume High.

Almost every auditorium entertainment, especially when produced by the students, pep meetings, student celebrations, and the like, were occasions to call on the orchestra for the atmosphere that only well played music can produce.

Though small in numbers, the solidity of its formation and the evenly balanced effect secured, has given it a positiin superior to much larger organizations. The success of the band is due largely to the personality of Mr. Chiesa, the director. Much could be said about the ability of this man and his faithfulness but let it be sufficient to say that he was the idol of his band. The boys in their uniforms of red and white made a very fine appearance and displayed extraordinary talent.

Although the membership of this club was not exclusive, each member had to pledge himself to “create, maintain, and extend throughout the school and community, high standards of Christian character.” This club gave the boys an opportunity to have a genuine and solid foundation upon which they might build their future.

The cast was carefully selected and the best talent was chosen from the Bluine High Glee Clubs. The village, enjoying a holiday, is startled by the arrival of a party of American tourists, college students, under the leadership of Professor McSpindle, a tutor in botany, to study tulip culture. Two of the party, Ned and Dick, are much more interested in Christina, portraying the leading role and her friend, Katinka. News reaches the village that a thief has been stealing choice bulbs of prize tulips, and a handbill describes the thief and offers a reward for his capture. Ned and Dick induce McSpindle to wear certain clothing, answering the description of the tulip thief. When the Burgomaster beholds McSpindle so attired he causes his arrest. With McSpindle out of the way, Ned and Dick promote their friendship with the girls, and learn that Christina’s stock is, unknown to her, of immense value. They reveal the truth to her, and thwart the Burgomaster’s attempt to grow rich at her expense. With the assistance of Christina’s Aunt Anna, the innocence of McSpindle is established, and the latter declares his affection' for her, and with the prospect of a triple wedding, the final curtain falls.

Each season he has built up strong teams which have won honor for Blume Hi. He has always had to build his teams from inexperienced men which is a very difficult task, but he was equal to it. We all hope he stays with us because we know of his ability as a coach. COACH CAMPBELL Miss Pera Campbell is the girls’ athletic coach. Her girls have set up very enviable records, and in the past few seasons they have lost very few basketball games. Again next year we know Miss Campbell will have a great team because none of this year’s team graduate. Miss Campbell also coaches track. Cheer Leaders Our cheer leaders have been many. “Variety is the spice of life,” and also of cheering and so the Wapakoneta fans have been kept in a “spicy” condition. Lottie Streight and Betty Blume kept the crowds routing for the football squad. Gerald Bobb and Robert Morey did their share of helping our basketball teams toward victory. We have had a successful athletic year and we feel they deserve credit for helping to make it so. 4Ji teoeoooeoooooeoeoooeoeoeeoeoeoeoeoeoooeoeoooeoe) Che Retrospect Boys’ Football Team WILBUR SCHAFFER—“LUBBY”—TACKLE “Lubby” was shifted from guard to tackle near the end of the season because he was the kind that could not be kept off the first team. When “Lubby” went out to block on end runs, he always got one man and sometimes two. “Lubby” is a Senior. MORRIS SMITH—“RED”—HALFBACK “Red” was the best pass receiver on the team. This was proved in the St. Marys game. “Red” could also kick and run. We are glad “Red” will be back next year because he has real football ability. eoeoeoeooo oeoeoe C f)C RCtrOSpCCt BERNARD LUCAS—“HA M”—HALFBACK “Ham’s” real line in football was tackling. Ke never let pass a man that got through the line. He could also do his share or. offense. He could run and pass which always made him a threat to the opposing team. MARCELLUS EM ERICK— MARGIE”—TACKLE “Marcie” proved to he the hardest tackier on the team. When he hit some one, they long remembered it. “Marcie” is a senior this year. We hate to lose him because his place will be so difficult to fill. ERAXKLIN IDLE—“PETE”—HALFBACK “Pete goes into a game with the idea “the bigger they are the harder they fall.” and they sure fall. “Pete did the place kicking for Blume Hi and one could not ask for a more accurate one. “Pete” was at his best on defense. He has another year and great things are expected. NED DAVIS—“DOB IE”—END This is Ned’s second year on the team. He was moved from halfback to end because of his fine tackling. Ned is a senior, and his absence on the squad will be greatly felt. Ned stopped many an end run before it was started. GERALD BOBB—“GOOEY”—GUARD “The fellow with the most fight”—that’s “Goofy”. Gerald was a fine blocker and sure tackier. He is a senior and his fighting spirit will be missed next year. His motto was, “A fighting team never loses.” ELWOOD CHESBROUGH—“CHEESE”—QUARTERBACK “Cheese” was our field general and when he called for a play it was the right one to use. He was a triple threat man and he could run. pass, and kick with great ability. “Cheese’s” threat was the deadly passes that he threw. He will be back next year. €be Retrospect = Games BLUME HIGH vs. WAYNESFIELD The opening game of the season proved the ability and power of the Blume High football team.

The score was 6-0 in favor of Bellefontaine. BLUME HIGH vs. SIDNEY We traveled to Sidney where we again met defeat by a score of 24-6. Blume Hi scored first but could not hold the lead. The Sidney team was composed of heavy weights and Wapak could not stand the pace set. BLUME HIGH vs. VAN WERT Hard luck still followed the team and we met defeat at Van Wert 19-8.

When he was given a man to guard, the latter seldom scored. “Bede” was also a clever passer. He is a senior. DONALD FOSTER—FORWARD “Don” was the most elusive player on the squad. Although small he was quick and hard to stop. “Donnie” could shoot and pass with equal ability. “Donnie” is a senior.

We hope Bob has as much success in his future as he had playing Basket ball. Che Retrospect MED DAVIS—GUARD Med is a senior and this was his second year on the squad. He was a good basket ball player and one of the hardest workers on the floor. He has speed and was a good shot. ...... CARL BRADIMG—FORWARD Carl is a dead shot on longs. He will be with us next year.

LAVERA GILBERT—FORWARD “Squirrie” is Betty’s team mate as forward, and they make a pair well worth watching. “Squirrie” is only a sophomore but she caused a sensation by her playing this year. FLORENCE RUNKLE—CENTER “Flunki”, as center, usually has the advantage over her opponent in height and so usually gets the “tip off”. She is only a sophomore this year and we expect great things of her in the years to come. KATHRYN DISTELRATH—SIDE CENTER “Kate” as side center sees that her forward is guarded efficiently. “Kate” is a junior and this is her second season on the regular squad. Keep up the good work next year, “Kate”! VERA SCHULER—GUARD “Verie’s” forward usually has a difficult time getting away from her. “Verie” is also a junior, and this is her second year as a regular. Be “regular” in keeping your forward from making baskets next year, “Verie.” JANE BROKAW—GUARD “Janie” has been guard for two years and does much to cramp her opponents style. She also has another year to display her prowess. CAROLYN SIFERD—CENTER “Kelly” is our valued pivot man. “Kelly” plays every position on the team, plays them well, and is on the spot when needed. “Kelly” will be here next year, also. Mona Lucas, Rosemary Koenig, Lucille Naylor, Helen Chesbrough, and Laura Vanderhorst, our flashy little freshmen subs, are Blume High’s coming stars. Cl)c Retrospect Games December 3, 1927—The Blume High Girls Basket Ball team started the season well by defeating the Cridcrsville girls by a score of 26-20. As both teams were playing well, the game was interesting. Our girls have very good pass work. December 9, 1927—For the first time in the history of Blume High Basket Ball, we played Ohio City. Our opponents had the advantage in size, but we made up for it in pass work and good guarding. The game ended with a score of 25-20 in our favor. December 16, 1927—We went to Knoxville with the determination of being revenged for our defeat in the tournament last year. We tried hard hut not hard enough, and the contest ended with a score of 34-26 in their favor. We hope to redeem ourselves in the tournament this year. December 23, 1927—This game played on the New Bremen floor ended in defeat for Blume High with a score of 21-20. We feel that the result was due to the very small floor to which New Bremen is accustomed, and we expect to defeat them on our floor. Tanuary 6. 1928— apak went to St. Marys to play our ancient rivals and completely outclassed them. Our forwards were t'o many for their guards and the game ended in our favor 52-25. Gilbert was making baskets from every position on the fb'or in spite of her guard. January 13, 1928—Our number of opponents is increasing. In a game with one of thorn. Van Wert, we succeeded in defeating them by better passwork. The score was 44-13 in our favor. Tanuary 19. 1928— On the Shawnee floor our girls defeated Shawnee badly. Blume and Gilbert starred for Wapak. They made our entire number of baskets in the score of 28-11. January 20, 1928—At Cridcrsville we were defeated bv a sc re of 21-20. VVe didn’t get started well the f:rst half and couldn’t overcome the lead Cridcrsville gained in that time. January 27. 1928—We completely routed Botkins in a game here. The runaway ended in a score of 43-19 in our favor. February 3, 1928—Our friendly enemy—St. Marys—came to Wapak and was defeated by a score of 29-11. The game was played before the largest crowd which ever attended a game at the Legion. Our girls were all dressed up in their new trunks, donated to them by the Lantern Staff. Hurrah! for the Lantern Staff. February 10. 1928—We ran rings around Waynesfield in a game which ended 37-7 in our favor. Blume and Gilbert completely baffled their guards. February 17. 1928—For the second time in the season we defeated Buckland by a score of 75-3. Only part of the team playing was made up of our first ssuad. February 21. 1928—With several of our first squad unable to plav because of injuries, we defeated Findlay by a score of 26-25. Gilbert made 20 of our 26 points. Blume Hi 26..
