K 8j s D! 8 a ClK Hetrojspcct Foreword HISTORY is the record of the accomplishments of man thru the ages. This Retrospect is the record of the activities of the students of Blume High School during the years of ’29 and ’30. We, the Editors, to whom the work has been intrusted hope that we have been able to transmit to you the momentous happenings of the years that in years to come you might have a vivid source of memoirs. sn Ctjc tfctrogpcct Contents: The School Graduates Undergraduates Students Life Athletics Features TO Miss Clara Postle who has been a loyal supporter of every project in this school, who has bridged the chasm between teacher and pupil, who has given us invaluable assistance in preparing this book, and whose memory will long be cherished by us throughout life, we the Senior Class of 1930 do sincerely dedicate this Retrospect. €t)c Bctrojspcct l 9 3 0 | €l)c Hctrogspcct £ EJ£ m Blume High School Away back in the spring of 1871, three students had the honor of being the first class graduated in Wapakoneta. The exercises were held in the old school building, located where the Third Ward building now stands, and C. W. Williamson was Superintendent of Schools at the time, serving in that capacity from 1868 to 1879, and served another period terminating in 1899. In the time between the years 1871 and 1874, a rapid growth in population and business developments had taken place. As increased accommodations for school purposes was needed, the Third Ward School building was erected in the years 1874-5 at a total cost of twenty-eight thousand dollars. In the year 1907, the citizens of Wapakoneta thought it necessary to have a separate High School Building. Things were progressing nicely towards this end, but the difficulty remaining was the lack of a suitable location. This trouble was finally settled by the kind offer of L. N. Blume, donating for the school the present site. Thus, the school was christened Blume High School, in honor of the liberal giver. This building was adequate for the time, but again, as increased numbers began to see the value of high school training, it became too crowded. To meet this problem, the present annex was begun in and completed in the year 1923. At the same time, Blume Memorial Library was constructed thus equipping the school with not only an up-to-date library, but with an auditorium as well. The building is an imposing structure and modern in every respect. And now we come up to the present time, 1930. Some four hundred students are daily attending the high school seeking all its opportunities. Blume High is rated as a first-class institution, and it has the distinction of being recognized and held in high repute among all colleges. Such is its history.

If you never have, try it some time When you’ve nothing else to do. And study the thin, black streams as they climb Toward a sky of a different hue. Go down to the factory district And pick out a suitable spot— Where you can view the stacks so majestic, From some deserted and vacant lot. You will discover that on a still day When the sky is blue and bright, That the columns will rise but one way When choosing their upward flight. They rise in straight, black pillars For a hundred feet or so— Then spread out in great black clouds, And the soot falls like black snow. y But when the wind is blowing And the smoke is whipped about— It will seem as tho the stacks were moving At a terrrific speed—no doubt. But when the air is full of mist, As it is on damp, wet days, You will see the columns become diffused As they try to pierce the haze. And it seems as tho the clouds were falling As it settles to the ground. The smell of gas is quite disgusting, And your lungs seem tightly bound. So you see, with a little patience on your part, Spread out over numerous days, You will learn that the atmosphere in part Determines just how the smoke behaves. —DICK STULTZ 19 3 0 |€IK ttCtVOgpCCt I Board of Education ED TRAU—President CARL D.

Now comes that word. Commencement—a word of vast importance, when we shall recall that the best part of our lives, spent under the very strict and equally gentle guidance of our loyal teachers who were destined to become subjects of immortal memory, has departed forever. Our minds, at the same time, in the process of such excellent development as may be gained from education, were unconsciously storing away love and respect for all our associates. Mathematics, English, Latin, and Science, instruments of worry and strife, are destined to become the foundation and background for our adventures through the ways and byways of life. No more shall we have petty grievances to contend with, but man-sized obstacles, which will balk us at every turn. When that time comes, every moment of our high school days will have seemed but one consecutive period ot joy and laughter. These aforesaid four years were not spent in vain—for each of us has the satisfaction of having been outstanding in some accomplishment, be it scholarship, athletics music, or social activities. “Every man shall receive his due reward”; so goes an old proverb, and none is more true. So shall we receive our reward for the efforts we put into our line of activities and interest. The change in our characteristics during these four vears of invaluahlp PvnpHpn o Some say it’s foolish to go further, They claim they have an education. But they will find that in the future Success is based on good foundation. They’ll go out and get a job. And maybe, if they do not shirk, They may rise above the mob. But only if they slave at work. But those who do not falter, Who heed advice and common sense, And who are willing, at Learning’s alter, To socrifice some time and patience. They will be rewarded With a prize which few have won The success that is awarded To those who CARRY ON. —JAMES INGOLDSBY —DICK STULTZ Senior Class Officers President ...... Vice President Charles Swink Donna Wentz Treasurer Secretary James Ingoldsby Oneta Metzger Senior Class Prophecy €l)t ttctrojspcct 'Twas the last day of April, 1952 that signified the period of absolute harmony and peace in this old world. A new president had come to rule whose heart and soul were for the people and whose tact and own quietude of spirit had encompassed 'round about them stimulating a desire for the environment of unity and brotherly rove. There was no need for peace conferences or means of arbitration and even Coingress was at loss when it met for session to discuss difficult problems and perplexities because there were none to introduce for argument. Our honored President, Malcolm Rohrbough, sat in the executive chair looking pleased at the state of affairs, but he was also studying zealously to discover a way by which that most guarded halo of peace might be impressed upon the minds of the people in such a way that they might always desire to preserve it. It was that enormous task confronting him that made him feel the dire necessity of calling upon a loyal band of helpers to assist him in upholding those present high ideals. On the first day of May a decree was sent out from the White House to every) member of the Senoir Class of 1930 bearing the request of the president that each and everyone discontinue his various tasks for an extended length of time to accompany his honorable wife, formerly Bonnie Brookhart, and him on a pilgrimage to the Fountain of Youth in that glorious land of Florida. Surely such an adventure would renew the spirits of his burden bearers and offer an opportunity to stress upon each individual the importance of pledging his most loyal support to back the important issue introduced by him. 'Twas the last day of May that brought together once more, in happy reunion, a class of men and women which had not met together since the good old school days of 1930. Each heart held a story of its own as it met the warm and welcome handshake of the President and first lady of the land. It made quite a beautiful story with treasured imaginary pictures combined to hear each newcomer tell about himself. Of course the members of our class who represented us in the National Legislature were naturally there with the President to greet us all and it was quite a surprise to discover who held those honored positions. At last a woman attained to the noble position as Vice-president of the United States and we were very much elated when we found that Meltha Carter had accomplished that noble feat. Our surprise was not exceeding when we saw Richard Finke very efficiently holding the office as Secretary of State, but a great lot of his success depended upon the extraordinary handling of the United States Treasury supply by Bernard Shaw, secretary of that fund. Quite efficient and dependable bookkeepers were also valuable asests to those two highly-intrusted offices and they were very satisfactorily taken care of by our two business ladies, Mildred Kentner and Lura Zwiebel. Some found it extremely difficult not to envy Elva Scherer her coveted position as private secretary to such a person as the President of the United States. Everyone was greatly pleased when we entered the House of Representatives and discovered the oratorical ability that Raymond Musser possessed in delivering his messages as Speaker of the House. It wa rumored, however, that his continual habit of talking was taken down a notch or two when he married Doris Bachman, star comedian of the “Talkies.” Our foreign relations with France increased remarkably after Frederick Slusher became foreign ambassador to that country and complied to its peoples’ wishes by puchasing great quantities of their “Blue Moon Perfume.” Doc Martin, renowned financier, most usually escorted him on those trips and even granted him the use of his private yacht in order that he might be introduced to some of the pretty little French girls as no American girl seemed to fit his qualifications. Carolyn Headapohl and Audrey Kohler journeyed all the way from Dallas, Texas where they were operating a beauty parlor. That journey was quite a lucky one as it brought to pass, two very appropriate matches. Audrey had always said she wouldn’t marry because she didn’t want to change her name but when she realized that she 19 3 0 1 £lK Uctrosprct i :=jij could marry Burk Kolter, president of the United States Steel Corporation, and only change one letter of her original name, there seemed no hesitation at all.Carolyn grew quite tired of the long name of Headapohl and was quite delighted to change it to a short one such as Kah, wife of our own honorable Harry, vice-president of the same corporation in which we discovered Burk. In the same Steel Corporation as formerly mentioned, we also found Hugh Katter and Adrian Keesecker as the two chief accountants and very extraordinary ones at that. Because of the numerous responsibilities resting on their shoulders, both found it necessary to hire private secretaries to help them out of their difficulties and they were Oneta Metzger and Minnie Swarts. Oneta not only did stenographic work but also taught violin and entertained at many concerts where she held audiences spellbound for hours. While being hypnotized with violin music, we were thrilled to the utmost by the rich melodious tones of voice produced by our great tenor singer, Vernon Bobb, who made world toursto satisfy the countless demands of the people. There were not only artists of music represented in our midst but also artists of painting and sculpturing. Mabel Hem came from her picturesque studio in New York where her painting was that only of a master. Cecil Barnhart made one fee the presence of power, majesty, and superiority when one gazed upon the lipe-like figures carved and moulded by his steady hand. We were astonished beyond words when we learned of the remarkable achievements of Willis Diegel, the electrical wizard, who astounded the world continually by his advanced inventions which he introduced into the field of science. James Ingoldsby displayed his keenness of mind by conquering the most difficult law cases undertaken by human being. It was believed by many people that he received most of his super-human reasoning from his wife, formerly Veronica Herrmann, who possessed magic power which could be transmitted to him. Four prominent football stars came from various colleges where they composed very essential factors. We were proud to recognize those heroes as our former classmates, Richard Aue, Clarence Cornell, Victor Thrush, and Leo Wildermuth. Richard Stultz, physical education teacher at Harvard, pleased us but did not surprise us by returning to our midst as a married man accompanied by his sweet and alluring wife, Mrs. Stultz, formerly Evelyn Stinebaugh. After many years of faithful study at a conservatory of music, Blume Castle finally realized his ambition as director of a city band. Alvin Lanning, Ralph Van Horn, Harold Hubner, Perry Carter, and Carl Davis finally became expert musicians on their priceless instrument and were permitted to enter Blume’s exclusive organization. Foster Lytle possessed an extraordinary degree of skill and accuracy as president oi the Federal Reserve Bank in Washington while Pauline Schuler proved an efficient bookkeeper and Chester Lehning showed outstanding business ability in his position as teller of the bank.. Wilbur Hittepole, interne at a Cleveland Hospital, created lots of excitement when he arrived with his staff of nurses which consisted of a number of our previous class-males. BeulahBrown, Helen Fisher. Marcella Kachelries, Bernice Malston, Kathryn Naus, and Grace Siegel composed that group of dependable graduate nurses. Oliver Ambos appeared as quite a man of big business when he revealed his ownership of fifteen large department stores located in various cities throughout the country. He convinced us of the fact that he had lots of faith in women when he appointed Vesta Burden, Helen Gross, Cecil DeLong, Lena Liokumovitz and Fredonia Koch as independent heads of five of those stores. A lot of responsibility rested on Remus Kreitzer, general manager of all the stores. Before Remus accepted that trustworthy position he picked for himself an efficient little wife to work with him and keep his books in order and we were pleased to see our classmate, Hldegarde Loew, filling that coveted place. There were quite a number who journeyed a long ways to attend that pilgrimage of 1952. 19 3 0 Cljc Retrospect Bernadine Presar and Rachel Fessler came from far-away England where each was holding a position as governess to very recommendable English families. Marguerite Mertz told interesting stories about South America where she was employed as Latin instructor in a college there. We had four representatives from Hollywood who discontinued their busy lives long enough to grant the president’s request. Donald Mason appeared on the screen constantly to fulfill the desires of the people to see their screen anticipations realized when they witnessed the playing of a second Buddy Rogers. Donald never attempted to please his audiences, however, without the assistance of his three jolly comedians, Andrew Zink, Emily Underwood, and Allen Warner. Catherine Myers, French instructor and kindergarten supervisor, gave an interesting report concerning her accomplishments while teaching in the private schools of Fiance. We were very charmed to hear about the latest Paris fads by our expert French model and designer, Violet Hole. Everyone, especially the ladies, was delighted beyond words to welcome our three African hunters, Charles Tieben, Robert Hunt, and Eldon Faler back to America laden with the priceless fur of enough wild animals to make a gorgious fur coat for each lady present. La Vera Gilbert fulfilled all our wishes by entering the race for world’s champion basketball player and running away with the honors and also the offered purse containing only fifty thousand dollars. Florence Runkle chose years of labor to attain her goal and that she did when she became girls’ basketball coach at Ohio State University. We not only had teachers of athletics but also high school teachers instructing in various lines of work. Lovonia Nuss, Pauline Smith, Melba Walls, Lucille Gierhart and Lucretia Smith made a cooperative quintet to work for noticeable advancement in the standards of every school in which they taught. One needed only a glimpse of the Swink and Stienecker General Motor Company in Pittsburgh to realize the labor that Charles and Roger had put forth in order to obtain their goal. It was because of their wonderful achievements that a most magnificent libraray was constructed in that city as a token of appreciation to all the people who had helped them reach success. Martha Reed was chosen to fill that coveted position as librarian to that worthy institution. The dazzling beauty harbored within the library was only mastered after the careful scheming and planning of three renowned interior decorators, Mary Winemil-ler, Ima Heller, and Zenith Wagener. It was such worthwhile characters as these formerly metioned who composed that loyal band of helpers upon whom President Rohrbaugh was depending for support. What a spectacular procession they formed as they wended their way to a magnificent Washington Cathedral to hearken unto the final consul and advice of the President before beginning that most anticipated pilgrimage. Never was there a more impressive ceremony as the deep rich tones of that noble man’s voice reverberated its tidings of peace on earth and good will to men through that colossal and costly structure. As those last haloed words were uttered there came forth from the silence the sound of an organ whose soul was made to live by the transmission of the soul of the soul of the organist into every note which that lifeless object pealed forth. Only a master could possess such touch and feeling. Every eye turned toward that matchless artist and was held there in amazement as it viewed the familiar face of Irene Stoll. Loyalty and patriotism surged through the heart of each one as he rose and pledged his allegiance to his country as the last measures of the Star Spangled Banker faded away into silence.

A orief review of the first two acts follows: ACT I The first act opens at Blume Hi School in the fall of 1928. In the assembly room our attention is at once atracted to the many groups of Freshman, nervously trying to appear at ease. However, they are made noticeable by a certain brightness on all their faces. This first year of the remarkable “Class of ’32“ is very realistic. The Freshies struggle through their Latin conjugations and declensions with characteristic bravery. They work constantly trying to master the various “x’s” and “y’s” confmoting them in Algebra. Some of these students are so overtaxed that their dreams are often filled with visions of huge dancing letters. A terrible ordeal these martyrs have to endure for the frist time at mid-term exams. Many a Freshie wishes he had studied harder or behaved better, but of course they are not really bad. ACT II This act opens with the same class as Sophomores. They act very important and take pleasure in poking fun at the little Freshies who have taken their places. But no, the teachers say thir places as Freshmen can never be filled. This year, the class keeps up their good work. Even at this early period their ability is recognized in musical and athletics as well as in the classroom. Part of the group follow Caesar through his campaigns and they bitterly wonder why he couldn’t have died in infancy. They no longer deal with “x’s” and “y’s”, but with straight and curved lines which assume many shapes. These actors do a lot of work and yet they have their good times. The act ends in a blaze of glory with the most illustrious class of Sophomores ever seen in Blume Hi. VIVIAN E. EMRICK Sophomore Class Officers President .... Vice President Treasurer .....

We were not an unattractive set, for indeed we seemed to be the center of attraction. The truth about the matter is, we were “Freshise,” just like all Freshmen without exception. But many changes have occurred. We have worked hard and we have been encouraged by our success, no matter how little or how great. It was not a “Bed of Roses.” We have had our “Alps to Climb” but we struggled on, hoping to climb “Over the Top.” With banners flying, to us the main aim is to be graduated and we mean to accomplish this great task. Meanwhile, we plan on having as much fun and as many good times as will be available. We also found that there was pleasure in our studies when we began to read the English classics. Our teachers noticed that we showed signs of great talent, and prospects of a progressive future. We have just begup to realize our place in school and our history must be short. We trust that you will hear more of us in the future, for we intend to reach the last rung on the ladder of success. Indications go to prove that we will prosper and become men and women of great note in the future of the world. —EDWIN KOCH Freshman Class Officers President ...................Roland Swonguer Vice President ...................Mona Linder Treasurer ........................Ruth Koch Secretary .....................

In accordance with this fact many clubs, sports, and organizations have been formed which give the students the opportunity, aside from the regular school curriculum, to develop, character, to be sociable, and to be fair and square and to do the right things at all times. Our students are just human beings the same as others and enjoy putting their excess energy into some sort of mischief -trying to play a joke on the other fellow. This often results in the stern correction of some teacher or teachers, and while the sting of the words seems rather severe, we profit by it. We are the boys and girls of today—the men and women of tomorrow. To us will remain the leadership of future years, and for this we are being trained. One reaps only what he sows, and this is one big thing our high school life teaches us and which is to carry on into the affairs of the w'orld. Blume High is represented with an enrollment of over four hundred ambitious, energetic, fun loving students trying to secure all the benefits they can possibly derive. High school days are the best days, and every student knows that to be the truth more and more as he reminises over the days spent in dear old Blume High. 19 3 0 wsamsis Cljc dctrosspect “Seven Keys to Baldpate’ Top row—Burk Kolter, Harry Kah.

William Hallowed Magee makes a wager that he can write a story in twenty-four hours. He comes down to Baldpate Inn to do so, this being part of the agreement, which he has made with his friend, Hal Bentley. Baldpate Inn is one of the loveliest spots in the world. It is situated at the peak of a mountain, and besides what could be more lovely than a summer resort in winter? He no more than gets started at his task when he is interrupted by one of a band of crooked politicians. Although there is supposed to be but one key to Baldpate, in reality there are seven, as he finds out before the night is over. After this first interruption events follow rapidly; a woman is killed, money is stolen, a man goes insane, ghosts are seen, shots are heard. Mystery surrounds and prevails at this lovely haunted spot on the top of the mountain. Magee has just given up his task in despair when Hal Bentley makes his appearance and clears up the mystery. It seems as though he had wanted to prove to Magee just how improbable and terrible the stories that he wrote w'ould seem in real life. For this purpose he hired a stage company which supplied the actors in this play. But Magee does not lose the wager after all for what has come before is the story that Magee really writes.

Voted by everyone as a huge success was the High School play “Across the Street” given in the high school auditorium Nov. 20-21, 1929. While every character was interpreted with the ease and ability of an artist yet the great success of the undertaking was without a doubt due to the untiring efforts of the director, Miss Ziegler. This is the story of two young men who find that they have been miscast for their positions in life. Joe Bagely runs a down-at-the-heel dry goods store in Glendale, a small town. He wants to be an editor. Then Kenneth Dodge, who has been sent out to become editor of the Observer arrives from the big city. Since Kenneth wants to be a dry goods merchant the two boys swap jobs, though each pretends to be doing his own. Due to editorials in the Observer the town boss is exposed; a town concave is called and Kenneth is forced to explain his charges. Two sentimental romances thread their winding way through the play. 119 3 0 CAST Mildred Martin...Mary Anna Wisener, Eileen McCullough Oberly Musgrave .......................Wayne Huffman Harry Stapleton .......................James Ingoldsby Mrs. Elvira Bagely.........Rosemary Koenig, Ruth Koch Betty Black ...............................Mona Linder Sally Lou Smith ...........................Betty Botkin Joe Bagely ........................................Bon Mason Cyrus Perkins ..................................Vernon Bobb Calvin Abbott .........................Raymond Musser Agnes Ellery .............Catherine Myers, Emily Swink Kenneth Dodge .............................Burk Kolter Ernestine .................................

The purpose of this organization is to give those students who are interested in the field of Radio a chance to study more in detail the principles of Radio theory and construction. Although membership to this club is not exclusive it is expected that they be such as have a “B” standing in their scholastic work. The work of the club has progressed nicely under the direction of H. C.

WILLIS TAYLOR CENTER Taylor will play center in 1931. May he have good luck. Bill has another year. VINCENT CHESBROUGH -QUARTERBACK “Bus” was so little it was difficult to find a suit to fit him, but he is big when it comes to playing football.

Bottom row—Vernon Bobb, John Nagel, James Varner, Roland Kantner. CAPTAIN RICHARD AUE-—CENTER Red was an excellent basketball player, playing at center. His height and skill made him an important member of the team. LEO WILDERMUTH—FORWARD Leo was one of the best forwards Blume High has ever had. He will surely be missed next season. BOB BLUME—FORWARD Leave it to Bob to score just when it was most necessary. He still has two more years to play for Blume High. ROGER STEINECKER—GUARD Stene surely showed everyone what a real guard can do. It will not be an easy task to find one to fill his position as well as he did. i 9 3 IU5W5IU5 [ysiy iys tew rngtssstfis €1k uctrosspect JOHN NAGELr-GUARD Johnnie can play real basketball as his playing this season has shown.

Seated—Shirley Kolter, Mona Lucas, La Vera Gilbert, Emily Swink, and Elizabeth Cartmell. LA VERA GILBERT CAPT. (SQUIRRIE)—Hats off! Here comes the captain of the basketball six, LaVera Gilbert. “Squirrie” was the ruination of many a guard’s reputation for she played as easily with a guard as without one. She has a dead eye for the basket and is sure of every shot. “Squirrie” has played four years on the team and her name will go down in basketball history. EMILY SWINK (PERK)—This is “Perk’s” first year on the team as a regular and what a reputation she has made for herself! Her whole heart and soul is in the game, and although she plays the forward position, she is “right there” when it comes to defense. Blume High is fortunate in having her two more years. FLORENCE RUNKLE (FLUNK)—Who could get the tip from “Flunk”? Blume High will surely miss her next year, for by getting the tip continually, the ball can be kept in the forward territory most of the time. Her floor work is also good. MONA LUCAS (HAM)—“Ham” is especially good on floor work and plays the position of guard to perfection. She is our all-around player, being able to play any position on the team with equal success; and her knowledge of pivoting and passing the ball has won her much fame. “Ham” is a Junior and will be back again next year. ROSEMARY KOENIG (ROSIE)—This year too has been “Rosie’s first experience as a regular and she has played like a veteran. Nothing is too much for her to do— she guards any player and sticks to her like a leech. Fortunately, “Rosie” will have another year with the team. KATHLEEN WARNER (KAY)—Can this girl guard? And how!! “Kay” is only l 9 3 oI KK! Cl)c Uctrospcct a Soph and certainly knows the game. She is quick on her feet and very good at intercepting passes. Blume High is assured cf her services for two more years. ELIZABETH CARTMELL fLIZ)—Look what we have here in the form of a Freshman—someone little but mighty. “Liz” is a whiz when it comes to basketball. She plays both guard and forward without the least signs of an amateur. “Liz” is certain of a place on the team next year. SHIRLEY KOLTER (SHIRT) Here is another Freshman prodigy—this time a guard. This is “Shirt’s” first experience in basketball and she has shown in that short time that she has the makings of a real basketball player. Three years are hers in the form of basketball. MARCELLA BURDEN (BABE)—This is our other Freshman wonder. “Babe” has made several “sit up and take notice” of her ability this year. She is very good at scoring on floor work, and these qualities mixed with a generous amount of “stick-to-it-iveness” will make her a star.

One of the highest forms of physical education is tumbling. Three years ago this sport was added to our list and each year it is becoming more popular with the boys. Tumbling, diving and pyramid building teaches courage, coordination, quick thinking. Also it is a splendid body builder for other sports and especially football. This year Coach Wise entered Willis Diegel and Richard Wisener in the State Meet at Delaware. Sixteen teams were entered making a total of thirty two tumblers. Diegel finished fourth and Wisener seventh. This was very good when one realizes that Wapakoneta was the smallest school in the meet. However Coach Wise will never be satisfied with his teams until they win first for Blume High. 19 3 0 £lK tictvogpcct | Track Team Top row—left to right—Charles Graham, Bob Kettering, Alvin Lanning, Vernon Woolf, James Varner, John Bailey, Leo Wildermuth, Allen Warner.
