PUBLISHED BY CLASS OF ’29 4J BLUME HIGH SCHOOL WAPAKONETA, OHIO VOLUME XXII TO MR. DON JONES whos memory, will always be a source of inspiration to us, who backs every worth while project whole heartedly, who is never too blue to smile and never too tired to lend a helping hand in the moments of our perplexities, we sincerely dedicate this Retrospect. TO MRS. MILLER Who possesses the three requisites of the ideal teacher, a school-backer, an excellent instructor, combines with a pleasing personality, we wish to express our appreciation and respect. Administration Classes Activities Athletics Humor Cbc Retrospect School Days Do you recall the first day of school? It was a bright day in September; We had to pass the old swimming pool. It was difficult not to loiter? We thought the teachers were so inhuman! They surmised just when we were not sick; They could not be mislead nor unman, They chastened, they flogged with sweeping whisk When we arrived at dear old Blume Hi, We fancied there was nothing to learn; But many a rule we formed close by, And things galore for which we should yearn. We learned in Latin to read and write, We read concerning the Roman Home; We studied all about Caesar’s plight. And of the dreadful downfall of Rome. Slowly but surely we trudged along, Studying with might and main each day, The teachers spoke of one right and wrong, And prepared us for the upright way. Now that the end of school days is near, The anxious time of test drawing nigh, To leave friends and companions so dear, Our bosoms sting and heave with a sigh. Here’s to the classes that have past; And to all the classes that have past; Beautify old Blume Hi more and more, By thoughts and words and deeds to the last. —RAY KANTNER Che Retrospect To the Students and Friends OF BLUME HIGH SCHOOL GREETINGS: I wish to thank the Staff for this opportunity to address a word of greeting to you. First, I want to congratulate the Staff and the Senior Class upon the successful completion of another year book. It means weeks of real labor, but all that is forgotten when the splendid volume comes off the press. The year just closed has been an unusually successful one in every one of the many phases of school activity. The high spot of the year, perhaps, is the successful participation in the first Scholarship Contest held in Ohio. Again, our school has had its most successful year in the Commercial Contest in Lima. Blume High took third place among seventeen schools contesting. We have added tennis to the list of extra curricular activities, and have enjoyed a successful year in dramatics and the established sports. I am much concerned in making each student feel the responsibility resting upon them of benefitting to the greatest possible extent from the free education which this community provides. The expense is large, but the people are willing to make this sacrifice for the sake of building up a better city, state and nation. If you are really appreciative of this opportunity to secure an education at public expense, you must see to it that all the work of the school, both within and without the curriculum, makes its greatest possible contribution to your individual and personal development. You must therefore engage whole heartedly in as many phases of activity as possible. Do not look upon education as a mere fact gathering process. A good encyclopedia will furnish that. An education consists more largely of correct attitudes, habits and skills. You cannot acquire these except by participation in school activities. You cannot buy them as you do a set of books. These are the true purposes of a school: 1. To teach you correct habits of health and physical exercise. 2. To give you command of the “tools,” reading, writing, arithmetic. Unless you have a genuine command of these, the world will not think that you have much of an education. 3. To lay the foundation for a vocation. Schools cannot make you experts in a trade, but must give you a knowledge of good English, ordinary arithmetic, elements of science, and an understanding of our social background. 4. To make you a worthy member of a family, not entirely by teaching you future duties, but also by showing you the right attitude toward your present family circle. 5. To teach you to carry on fittingly your duties as a member of a city, state, and nation. This is the greatest reason for maintaining schools at public expense. A true citizen respects the rights of others and takes an active interest in community welfare. 6. To teach you proper use of leisure time by helping you to discover avocations that you can carry along with you. 7. To help you develop sound character to help you make right thinking, right living men and women of yourselves, by giving you responsibilities, opportunities for assuming initiative, acquainting you with the ideals of the great men and women of history, and lastly through activity upon the playground and athletic field, where sportsmanship rules, and where trickery and cowardice are soon found out. If school helps you to achieve these aims, then your education is genuine, and not a mere veneer, and it is worth to the community all it costs. Cbe Retrospect Board of Education: C. W.

Seniors wise. We wonder how each of these their name they did get, So we’ll think real hard and do our very best to try To give you an acceptible and legitimate reason yet. Green Freshies! Poor little innocent Frosh, yourself your name You gave when you asked, “Where can I find room 23, I forgot” “In the gym are they going to have the football game?” Didn’t you know, little one, room 23 has never moved a jot?” Sophomores witty! Oh dear and how! Don’t you see they just Got over being Freshmen and they think there’s no end To the things they know. At the stupid world they gaze in disgust. They’re egotists thru and thru, they’re feelings ’tis impossible to offend. Juniors gay! What’s the use of studying, what’s the use of worrying, It only wrinkles and gray hair brings. I et us eat, drink, be merry. We’ve just begun to realize that the world owes us a living. Burdens and responsibilities let some other poor fool carry. Seniors wise! Behold their mugs are now overflowing, As an example to all the rest they are held, so angrest, sagneous They so admirably their term have served and now are going Hopes high, courage strong to take the world by storm.

Che Retrospect Senior Class History ------------•------------ The class colors are Scarlet and Gray and they are departing even as many before them have taken leave of the class rooms and halls of old Blume Hi. Commencement, the present goal of all. brings with it the end of our high school careers. Many ponder over the meaning of that word which is not the end only the beginning. But, yes it is the end of the fame and glory which together we have achieved in these four years. Ah! You ask, “What have we accomplished?” Listen and I will tell you of the famous class of 1929. Four years ago we came straggling to this school wide-eyed, open mouthed little youngsters, awed at the dignity of the seniors, the boldness of the juniors and the feigned non-chalance of the sophomores. However we chose the seniors for our guides and carefully though not knowingly they directed us through our first year of struggles. The second year—“guidance”? No! We’ve earned our place and henceforth mean to hold it. Opportunity knocks but once. The music department knocked and a goodly number entered, athletics. Our Class offered the best to uphold Blume High’s established name. Dramatics—Talented were our members and success only brightened the way. Juniors and we’ve began to wonder how will this school progress without us as have classes before us pondered, but each new year brings to us an eager and more determined body, striving for the place that rightfully belongs to them. So as seniors we are merely beginning a new and more advanced life, making way for our under classmates. Graduation is but the stepping stone; forward into life we march, strong and able—ready for the oncoming enemies thus may our spirit, cultivated during our lives at Blume Hi. ever bind us together and lead us to greater victories. Sacred memories cling in our minds and some day we may recall a verse from Longfellows’ “The Old Clock on the Stairs.” All are scattered now and fled. Some are married, some are dead; And when I ask, with throbs of pain, “Ah! When shall they all meet again?” As in the days long since gone by, The ancient time piece makes reply,— “Forever—never! Never—forever!” —CAROLYN SIFERD Senior Class Poem Our days at Blume High School Have now come to an end. Here many a happy moment Has it been our joy to spend. We have tried to do our duty To our classmates and our school; And have always aimed to follow The words of the Golden Rule. We have endured the trials of the Freshmen, The Sophomores, Juniors, too. Now we depart from the Senior rank W'ith a happy yet sad adieu. —Evelyn Murray Senior Class Officers ....Hollingsworth Ford ............Emil Steva ....Kathryn Distelrath ....

My victim was Ruby Laudahn, and my news, -well, everything that had ever happened in school and since we had left. Just think, Kelly, it has been eleven years since we were graduated. Don’t you often wonder what has happened to all those boys and girls? Ruby and I discovered some surprising things in our visit. She’s head of a library here, you know. She was quite surprised when I told her that you and Kate Distelrath were instructors in Physical Education in the University of Wisconsin. It seems as though our class has representation in every profession. Loads of the girls have become nurses—Kathryn Burk, Norma Elsass. Mary Myers, Henrietta Schumann. Catherine Ague. Frieda Fogt.

Dot Christler is in Los Angeles where she has taken up kindergarten work. Bob Coleman is chef on a trans-atlantic liner. Gladys DeVore. Koncta Hoopingarner, Maxine Dingier, Marjorie Jacobs, Marciel Sawmiller, Helen Swink, and LaVcra Schuler are private secretaries. Hollingsworth Ford l as traveled extensively since graduation and his books on his travels have made him famous Shirley Freeh and Ruth Spees have become beauty experts. Waldo Frazier inherited a fortune from an uncle and in New York he is quite a “Man-about-town”. Margaret Heffner is an authority on library work. Pete Idle and Scctt Rinehart are partners in a grocery store in Columbus. Luetta Metz is famous in grand opera. John Kuck is a great architect. Margaret Montgomery has become a social service worker. Cornell Lanning is assistant postmaster-general in the President’s cabinet. Marjorie Linder’s beautiful violin music has won her great fame. Maynard Meier.

Helen Speidel, Emil Steva and Frank Taylor are instructors in History, Latin, and Mathematics, respectively at O. S. U. Cloyd Tobias is an automobile salesman. Daisy Smith is in Paris famous all over the world as a designer. Isn’t it wonderful how successful our class is in every line of work ? I really didn’t realize eleven years a o how brilliant we all were. Oh, I almost forgot!—Marguerite Smith and Ray Kentner have married and domestic bliss is theirs! Now, aren’t you surmised at these revelations. Kelly! I really think you ought to prove yourself grateful by answering this epistle by one just as long and surprising. Love.

As they sat t ;crc gazing thoughtfully one evening the elder one seemed to hear the old faithful clock murmur a message, “Go-to-school, goto school,” and he called the fact to the attention of the other friends and it seemed to murmur the same message to them. Several years passed and the boys grew older but they still liked to hear tie huge clock talk to them and it was still their closest friend. The clock still kept repeating its advice but one of the boys began to grow unheedful of it and ceased his school education when but a Freshman in high school, but the other two still heeded their friend. The clock now seemed to change its advice as the days went by and now seemed to say, “Prepare-yourself, prepare-yourself, prepare-yourself,” and the boys took this counsel still more seriously. But by and by, the second grew weary of this constant reminder and rather scoffed at his former good friend and quit school when only a Sophomore. And now. since both the other boy's friends had deserted him, he too began to waver and was on the verge of quitting at the end of his Junior year had his only true friend, the clock, not come back and said more forcefully than ever, “You’ll-be-sorry, you'll-be-sorry, you’ll-be-sorry.” The boy tried to think things over but everywhere he went and everything he did, the clock’s warning dashed through his weary mind. Finally, he made up his mind to keep on and to finish his schooling. He looked around to see what his other two friends were doing, and he found that they were accomplishing very little in the world. As a note of respect he went that very evening to his faithful friend and putting his hand on its wooden face said. “Old boy. you’ve been wonderful to me—your advice has saved my education from its ruin, and I want to thank you so much for it, and I’m going to do my best.” -.... ’Twas then that he felt the clock was really human for it seemed to realize his troubles and seriousness, and as the pendulum swung back the clock whispered, Tm-proud-of-you, I’m-proud-of-you, I’m-proud-of-you.” FLORENCE RUNKLE, Junior '29. Junior Class Poem Never fail to do your best In all you start to do, Remember that what’s worth your time Is worth the best that’s in you. Many things will block your path And make the world seem dark. But if you say, “I won’t give up,” You’re sure to reach your mark. Onward and ever upward As steadily through life you climb Your memory of old Blume High School Will last,, till the end of Time.

As the last of October was drawing near, everyone was all a flutter for Hallowe’en was to be the occasion of the Glee Club party which has become almost an annual affair. About forty or fifty masked boys and girls assembled in the auditorium which had been effectively deeorated with black and orange crepe paper streamers. The decorations of the hall blending with the very beautiful and fantastic costumes of the guests lent a carnival note to the affair. Much conjecture was aroused as to their identity and great were the surprises at the time of unmasking. Dancing was enjoyed thruout the evening and splendid music was furnished by the Van Skiver orchestra. The next gala event was the Co-ed prom arranged by the Girls Resereves for Feb. 7th. Was it a success? Just ask any of the girls. For weeks this affair had been looked forward to, and the realization was even beyond the expectation. More than twenty-five couples wended their way to the auditorium of Blume High to enjoy the hospitality of their organization. They were chaperoned by their advisor, Miss Todd and the teachers, their guests. The girls in their gaily colored gowns and their ’stalwart and gallant escorts’ presented quite a pleasing picture. One of the features of the evening was the grand march at 10:30 o’clock. Each one was presented with a paper cap and favor appropriate of St. Valentine — also a noise maker. Some noise. The lunch, ice cream, cake and nuts were served later in the evening while punch was served throughout. All too soon was the time for departure announced. Never was there such a party and such a good time was declared by all. But. sh—it ws whispered that several of the ‘stalwart, gallant escorts’ were just a wee bit afraid to see their ladies home in wee small hours of the night. The next occasion? The Hi-Y—Girl Reserves prom, March 28. The hoax was broken and this was declared the most successful joint party ever given by the two organizations. More than twenty-five couples gathered to spend an enjoyable evening. The Rosebud Orchestra furnished the music for the dancing. It surely was a pretty picture—the streamers of pink and green crepe paper overhead and the glow of the shaded lights over the varied hued gowns of the girls and the more somber dress of the boys; the gay chatter and laughter of every one. It truly was a gala time. Punch and wafers were served thruout the evening. The final, but not the least, big affair looked forward to is that of the Junior-Seni r reception, May 24. Judging from little facts gleaned here and there it promises to be one of the memorable occasions of Blume High festivities. May the class of ’30 in turn be as royally entertained by the class of ’31. One more, yes. one more- the alumni, May 28. But then, we will have ventured our first step out into the world graduated from Blume High, the class of 1929.

We were joyous at having tue privilege oi attending this institution of knowledge. As we drew near the building we lost some oi our Happiness. The building booming up in front of us now looked like an obstacle wnich we, the Freshmen, had to pass. As we looked about us, we noticed upperclassmen everywhere. Suddenly the sharp ringing ol a bell that was to start us on our big high school career, and time our movements from class to class, the next four years, was heard. A large group of hign school students gathered about us. The Freshmen moving more by instinct than by thought, were the last to enter the building. After a few weeks of door puzzles, and the eternal ringing of that bell, the Freshmen class began to fit into the great movement of Blume High School. With the arrival of the Senior Sweaters the notice was taken from the Freshmen. This was a great change from restful green to dull red. It was soon that the faculty began discussing this bright class of Freshmen. Every club, musical organization, and athletic team soon saw how many Freshmen were in their numbers. With these things in mind you may readily see why we have the right to call it a wonderful class. We hope the other students and teachers of Blume High have been pleased with the actions of the Freshmen throughout the year. To the Freshman class it has been pleasant to spend this year at Blume High. We think this the very best year in our school career so far. When the year is ended, the Seniors may leave Blume High with the thought in mind that Blume High w'ill remain in efficient hands. The Sophomores, Juniors, and Seniors just now begin to appreciate the privilege they have had in associating with the class of ’32. . -—••• We, the Freshmen Class, hope that we have completed our first year in High School successfully. We hope that we have made it a better place for next year’s Freshmen. ROBERT SNYDER Freshmen Class Poem For you the Game has just begun; We’re sure you’ll find it lots of fun. If the Book of Rules you’ll follow. Whenever you go wrong just swallow Hard and begin again Then you’ll be a man. It matters not so much what you did, But how, the task which was your bit. So be brave, loyal and never shirk, But with all your might work That when you pass out Blume Hi’s portals You can class yourselves honest mortals. There are endless do’s and don’t’s; You’ll hear many “I won’t’s”, But ’tis always best to smile and say “I will”, And with heart and mind in tune, continue, until You will have made for yourself a place, And o’er all the world set the pace. —HELEN SPEIDEL 1C Retrospect Staff Emil Steva, Editor; Hollingsworth Ford, Editor; Frank Taylor.

They held meetings, elected officers, discussed important questions, and listened to talks by prominent men of the community. Several years ago they became infected with the general athletic fever that prevails, and organized their basketball team.

Fearful that a touch of insanity ran in the family, the maker of the will, made Annabelle West his sole heir providing no insanity is found. In this case a new will is to be opened, and another heir named. The members of the family try to frighten Annabelle by murders, tales of lunatics and the like. Everyone is suspected but not until the end of the play is the extraordinary mystery solved. The Cat is found and Annabelle receives the fortune. Roger Crosby ... Mammy Pleasant Harry Blythe ...

Charles Martin, a young New Yorker, finds himself so bored with his life that he no longer keeps track of the days. He has not always had such a life. Before the death of his mother he was a very successful journalist. Jack Carruthers, a former business associate, visits him in hope of persuading him to cease his shiftless life, and again take up journalism, in order that he may once more become the prince of a fellow that he formerly was. After his apparently unsuccessful visit, Comfort, who is looking for Carruthers is shown up to Martin’s room. The little girl tells him of her wonderful friend, Miss Woods, in whose stories she is now trying to interest Mr. Caruthers. Martin determines to help Comfort and takes a room in the Boarding House in which both she and her friend live. He meets there Mrs. Prouty, the landlady; her daughter Gladys; Miss Vincent, Short, Mr. Cricket and Delia. After going back to his old position he falls in love with Miss Woods, and finds that she is no less than Miss Marian Smith Chandler, the famous writer of popular stories, who is at this very time writing the story of his life.

The scene opens in an Indian village shortly before the Feast of the Red Corn. It is believed that the one who, at the Feast, finds the Red Ear of Corn will have any wish granted. Mischief is abroad, and the Old Squaw predicts that there shall be no wish granted, for the Four Winds are very angry. Nevertheless, she is asked to call upon the Four Winds and beg their forgiveness which she does. At the Feast, the Queen finds the ear of Red Corn. Her wish is to know that the King is alive, for he has gone away to war. The Old Squaw stirs the fire, and the queen’s wish is granted, for her King appears. —-THE CAST— Weeda Wanta ...........................Bonnie Brookhart Impee Light ..............................Luetta Metz Fudgee ................................

Our heroes are passing in review. They have just returned from a victorious campaign With metals unnumbered and defeats but few; Great honors for themselves they have attained. To their valiant General Wasson much credit is due. Captain Chesbrough leads his regiment so nobly, Their laurels they won at the great conquest Of Saint Marys, where the enemy was totally Annihilated by the men who proved to be best. Next is the illustrious Captain Idle and his men, Everyone so tried and true, they have fought and they have won; We always experience a thrill of pure, just pride when All the anxiety and suspense is over and they are done. Now comes General Taylor and his fighters with fame Which has no bounds, victory after victory they have captured, Displaying an amazing modesty—in every one the same; By their plays their spectators they invariably enraptured. These brilliant records mean much hard work; Each gave his all, and in his eagerness never forgot the rest; None can join their army who can’t obey orders but like to shirk; For they have learned that they must, forgetting self, give their best. Attention! Our heroes are passing in review. —HELEN SPEIDEL Or Retrospect € The Coaches COACH WASSON This is Coach Wasson’s first year witii Blume Hi. He has had great success in building up strong teams for the school. He has won the esteem and confidence of the entire student body. We know that he will continue this good work and we hope that it will be Blume Hi that he will lead in the van of athletics. COACH TAYLOR Another new coach at our school is Mr. Taylor who, as a coach, needs no other credentials than the girls basketball team which he has developed. It was his honor to coach the first state champion team from this school. With him as coach and the material he has for next year we are already dividing the spoils of victory. Mr. Taylor also coached the tennis teams which, although new, have had a highly successful season. COACH WISE Mr. Wise, head track coach and athletic director, has completed his second year with this school. His inexhaustible energy, and undeniable ability as coach has won the admiration of all. It was he who organized both the “Pep Club” and the very popular “Tumbling Team”. CHEER LEADERS Our four cheer leaders, the acrobatic wearers of the “Red and White”, “Red” Grode, “Al“ Warner, “Jim” Nagel, and Don Davis, cannot be praised too highly. May the pep they radiated be perpetuated through the years to come. And, “Lest we forget, Lest we forget”, the aspiring “Jimmy” Heffner. MANAGERS OF FOOTBALL, BASKETBALL AND TRACK REMUS KREITZER MALCOLM HAMILTON These two boys were certainly made for managers. They were always ready to help our players at all times. Neveh once did you hear Remus or Creamy get mad at one of the boys. They took all the bad cracks of the team and never kicked. We hope they will be with us next year and still carry out their wonderful characteristics as managers. Oc Retrospect The Team ST.

We will miss Bob next year. ROY SPEES—“SAM”—GUARD Sam was out for Football for the first time this year, although not so heavy proved to be a good guard and linesman. This is Sam’s last year.

Tennis Tennis, the “Sportsmanship Game” was first placed on an interscholastic basis this spring. Two matches were played with each of the following schools: Celina, Sidney, Lima Central, St. Marys, and Bluffton. Much interest was shown among the student body and it is hoped that this interest will grow with the coming years as this is not only wonderful exercise and highly recreational but much character is developed as in few other competitive sports. One of the most valuable points is the fact that can play tennis with success practically thru life. Those composing the tennis team were: Carl Tangeman, Kenneth Boesel, Morris Smith, Frederick Slusher, Richard Finke and Frank Taylor. LaVern L. Taylor was in charge. Many girls showed interest in the game and practiced diligently. Two matches were played with St. Marys. Letters were awarded to the boys winning four matches and to the winner of the girls’ tournament.
