Here is to Blume High— Where we find the force to drive us to success. We gain momentum as we learn the thrill Ox doing and achieving at our will. THE RETROSPECT—1933 Vol. XXVI Published by the Senior Class of BLUME HIGH SCHOOL Wapakoneta, Ohio Copyrighted by: MARGARET SEITZ Editor-in-chief ROLAND SWONGUER Business Manager GENEVIEVE BLANKENBAKER Faculty Adviser EDITORIAL In which the staff shows its appreciation for the many benefits derived from Blume High School This year Blume High will graduate some seventy young men and women. Let this be compared with the year of 1871 when the first graduating class in Wapakoneta consisted of three students. These students were graduated from the old school building, the site at which the present Third Ward building stands. The present building of the high school was erected in 1907 and an addition was made in 1923. These buildings have classrooms for over four hundred students. The student has the choice of a wide range of studies, from foreign language to auto mechanics. Although some studies have been dropped from the curriculum, the student can still be well prepared for a business life, college, or any occupation he wishes to pursue. During the four years of which those graduating and graduated have passed through, many friendships have been formed. It has only been in recent years that the Hi-Y and Girl Reserve have become organizations of this school, but in these few years they have increased their membership greatly, their members consisting of some of the outstanding members of the school. We, the Senior Class of Blume High School, sincerely and respectfully dedicate this Retrospect to Mr. W. Sanders Idle. Mr. Idle, in all his service in the capacity of principal of Blume High, has become known and loved by many. His friendly kindness never fades and he is ever willing to do more than is expected of him when his assistance is requested. He is always willing to help all organizations, as well as individual students themselves. His friendly advice, given in a spirit of helpfulness, is always welcome and heeded. Mr. Idle has been more like a father to the students than a superior in ability and position. His interest is widespread, since he takes an equal interest in all students. He is willing to cooperate with and aid anyone who calls upon him. Particularly was this true of his doing everything possible to accomodate the various organizations of the school. By a true example, Mr. Idle has tried to instill into the hearts of the students that application of Christianity which he practices. In any new thing that is undertaken at school his tolerance is especially noted. He seems to have the patience of Job, which is a quality many would like to have, but lack. Because of his true worth, we the Senior Class of Blume High School deem it a privilege to be able to show our appreciation to Mr. Idle through the medium of this book.

BOARD OF EDUCATION The men who are always striving and working for the best interests of the school. Too Beard of Educatic.: c_' Wapakoneta, Ohio has taken a very important place in the lives ot t:e students of Wapakoneta City Schools. The members of the Board are prominent business men who realize the responsibility of directing the futures of many students. They are Clarence Veit, Dr. G. B. Faulder, Carl D. Fischer, Jacob Koenig, Ed Trail, and Clerk ot Board Edwin Stroh. During this past school year, 1932-1933, the Beard has faced and withstood the financial panic which was world-wide. Neighboring schools were torced to close because of tee lack of sufficient funds, but our schools did not miss a day in spite of closed banks. Through the foresight of these capable men we ran our school the full nine montes and paid the teachers, too. The Board has provided an institution which is worth honorable mention in the state. The pupils who are graduated from Blume High School are qualified to enter the colleges of the United States. As an example of the interest the Board takes in the welfare of the students, they contemplated building a swimming pool over in the Harmon Field. The fur.ds to build this pool were to be taken from the sale of the School Board’s lot at the corner of South Blackhoof and Pearl Streets for a post office building. Unfortunately the government has delayed the purchase of this lot so we can not have this pool. And so, Members of the Board, we students of Blume High School thank you for equipping us so adequately for the future. Our Worthy Superintendent Mr. Menschel, our very estimable superintendent, is always ready at our slightest request to lend us a willing and helping hand. We have never had a problem but which, if we asked his advice and cooperation, was responded to with a true spirit of friendship and comradeship. In the few social functions which we enjoyed together we were shown another side of his personality and through this contact we were convinced of his personal attitude toward the students as his fellowmen. We wish to express our gratitude for the faith this friend of ours has placed in us during these four years of close relationship. When the doors of Blume Hi close on the nineteen hundred thirty-three class of Seniors, it will be with deep regret that we bid this willing friend adieu. Our Revered Principal To our beloved principal, Mr. Idle. It is a difficult task to tell of his many good deeds and thoughts toward us, as a class. Each and every one of us feel we know' Mr. Idle as well as our own father. To him we would wend our way when in trouble r.o matter how serious or insignificant it seemed. He took all our personal grievances to heart and with his kind, unselfish spirit always afforded us real consolation. He is a person of untiring patience, due to his personal contact with boys and girls ci every type for the most part of his life. As long as Mr. Idle remains w'here we can have access to his confidential advice, we shall go to him. It is with deep regret that the class of nineteen hundred thirty-three leaves this true friend, but he will be remembered by them throughout their lives. THE TEACHERS and Mr. Beckwith, J. B. Bush Miss Blankenbaker. Miss Frische Miss Noble, Mr. Jones Mrs. Miller. Miss Miller Mr. Rinehart. Miss Postle SOCIAL SCIENCE The Social Science department is under the direction of Mrs. Miller, Mr. Jones and Mr. Hamm. All Seniors are required to take the “History of the American People,” which is the study of the founding and building up of our own country. In connection with this text, they study “Essentials of American Government.” This book deals with the structure of our government and how it operates. Also the “American Observer,” a current event paper, is read and discussed once a week. From this paper they gain a knowledge of the current events of the day. Mrs. Miller also teaches Economics and Social Problems. The study of Economics, which relates to the production. distribution, and consumption of wealth, gives the pupils a knowledge of how to handle money. Social problems, which are much discussed and widely studied, affect us indirectly. This subject deals with the problems of society such as education, crime, and world peace. Mr. Jones instructs the pupils in Geography and Early European History. This type of Geography acquaints you with the formation of the earth. The seasons, tides and various topics that we have wondered about are explained to us. Early European History deals with things that happened as far in the remote past as historians can discover. It takes you through the stages of the development of the European countries and people. This subject is a foundation for all the other history that is studied. Mr. Hamm supervises the teaching of Modern European History. It portrays Europe as it is in more recent years. SCIENCE Mr. Bush, Mr. Idle, Mr. Stultz and Mr. Hamm teach the Freshmen General Science which is a required first year subject. In Chemistry the students learn the use of chemicals by their own experience with them. They work in the commodious laboratories and learn to use a chemist’s tools. MANUAL ARTS The Home Economics department is under the supervision of Miss Frische. The girls are instructed in cooking and sewing that can be adapted to practical use in their lives. A large, well-equipped kitchen is put to the disposal of the pupils. Here the girls are instructed in the art of cooking and preparing meals that are healthful and appetizing. The sewing room contains all the appliances necessary for a seamstress. The pupils are taught how to make clothing for themselves, as well as many things to make the home attractive and comfortable. The boys who take manual arts are taught by Mr. Beckwith and Mr. Hamm. Their rooms are in the basement of the school. Their rooms are furnished with carpenter’s tools of every denomination. Artistic pieces of wooden work are produced here. The upper classmen manufacture beautiful, as well as, useful pieces of furniture that would be a credit to any home. Another section of this department is the auto mechanics. Here the boys gain a useful knowledge of machinery and how it functions. They are also instructed how to build and repair cars and other mechanical devices. This subject is gaining in popularity year by year. Mr. Hamm teaches the boys mechanical drawing. They draw plans for houses and are instructed in the art of printing. Every spring it is an established custom for the manual arts department to stage a demonstration. The work of the boys and girls in this department is on exhibit. COMMERCIAL The complete commercial department, except Business English is under the direction of Mr. Taylor. The course consists of Shorthand. Typewriting, Bookkeeping, and Business English. Business English, which is supervised by Miss Blankenbaker, gives the pupils a broad knowledge of office practice. They are drilled in business letter writing, spelling, conversation, and office etiquette. In Shorthand I the fundamentals of the subject are learned the first Many facts are illustrated by experiments which are both interesting and instructive. Biology is a subject that many find interesting. The pupils taking this study are under the capable instruction of Mr. Bush. They explore nature’s world of flora and fauna. This spring the students searched in the woods for wild flowers and made individual collections. Professor Stultz teaches the upper classmen Physics and Chemistry. In Physics the pupils discover the actions of the elements and the causes of these actions. DEPARTMENTS of SCHOOL thing. In the second year the pupils strive mostly for speed. In both Typewriting I and II the students strive for speed and accuracy. The pupils work out business letters and papers similar to those used in the modem business office. Bookkeeping I gives the pupil a knowledge of the bookkeeping used in a small business. Corporation bookkeeping is taken up the second year. Practice sets are worked out giving the students experience in working in a firm or business organization. As an added incentive pins are awarded pupils in all three of these courses. Also contests are arranged with the neighboring schools. A state contest is an interesting feature of the year. MATHEMATICS All Freshmen are required to take Algebra which is taught by Miss Noble and Mr. Bush. It is important because it is the basis of all the other mathematics taught in the fob lowing years. Plane Geometry is under the direction of Mr. Jones who is an able instructor in this subject. The pupils work on the contract method giving them ample opportunity for advancement. Solid Geometry and Advanced Algebra are taught by Mr. Idle. Miss Noble has charge of the Busi-less Arithmetic classes. They are giv-jn that instruction that they will need in the business world. LANGUAGE In addition to the study of our own language, the pupils have an opportunity to study Latin and French. Miss Blankenbaker is an accomplished teacher of Latin. The course offers four years of this language. The Freshman class was especially large this year. The work is supplemented by drawings and carvings that stimulate interest. Another thing of interest that has been introduced is the corresponding by pupils in this school with Latin students in other schools. The correspondence is in Latin thus giving the pupils a practical use of their knowledge. We had only one French class this year. This class was taught the second year course by Miss Postle. The French club is of much interest to the pupils. At every meeting two dif- ferent persons act as hostess and host. All conversation is in French. The class is now studying the story, “Colomba,” which is written in French. ENGLISH English is the only subject in the school curriculum that every student is required to take all four years. The pupils are instructed in both grammar and the best literature. Miss Postle has complete charge of the Freshman English. They study the correct usage of the English language, and they are introduced to rather an extensive study of Julius Caesar. The Sophomores are under the instruction of Miss Zeigler and Miss Postle. In addition to their study of language, they are taught the structure of poetry. Their literature study contains the story of Silas Marner, selections of Robert Louis Steveson’s work and other interesting reading matter. The third year English, which is under the supervision of Miss Wilson, studies the American writers exclusively. The work is made more fascinating by the writing of original plays and essays. The writers range from the very earliest to the latest. The work is also composed of studies of non-fiction writers. Miss Zeigler has charge of the Senior English. In this subject stress is laid on the very beginnings of English writings up to the present day. Shakespeare is the writer that is studied most extensively. Also the students study the nineteenth century poets and essayists and read selections written by various men. Another branch of English is Public Speaking which is taught by Miss Wilson. This year is the first time this subject has really come into the limelight. A debating team was organized and drilled by the instructor. At various times during the year the team competed with our neighboring schools. They won high honors which they rightfully deserved. Thev merit much praise for the splendid presentations of their question. PHYSICAL EDUCATION Mr. Steiner. Mr. Stultz Mr. Taylor. Miss Wilson Miss Ziegler. Miss Spiedel Miss Streight. Mr. Stein Mr. Hamm Miss Miller and Miss Wilson teach the girls gymnastics. This year tap dancing, park ball, marching tactics. ar.d tennis were taught. Mr. Hamm instructs the boys in this course. The boys were taught exercises, tumbling, volley ball and how to do acrobatic stunts on the bars. MUSIC—Mr. Steiner is in charge of this department. He has under instruction the band, orchestra and mixed chorus. These have entered different contests throughout the school year. OUR SENIORS . ABRAHAM W. BACHMAN I. BAILEY BOWMAN A. BOWSHER M.

Frances Brodbeck had indeed many friends because of her jollity and pleasing personality. She played basketball, sang in the mixed chorus, and showed her enthusiasm for her school and friends by many other honorable deeds. During the school year Frances became ill. We all thought she would regain health, because her constant vitality and charm had made her a practical necessity in our lives. But the Master did not wish it, so he called her to Him. We who are left console ourserves with the faith that she is resting safely within His fold. During this school term one of our best liked young men, Lee Haman, passed away. He had always taken such an active part in school activities that his loss 'was deeply felt. Many a time his gallant and colorful figure was seen leading the band on parade. In dramatics he was an outstanding character with much personality. In mixed chorus he w'as the leading bass singer. Lee sang often at school functions and outside of school. Whenever he participated in singing or acting, the school was proud to have such a student. He had many glorious plans for the future, and his chances for obtaining success were many. There are few w'ho had higher ideals of manhood than Lee. And so in conclusion, w e say. “We miss you, Lee.” SENIOR CLASS WILL II 1C, the andersigned Senior ('hiss of I933, realising flint our career in the Illume Hi Brain factory is about to cease, hereby make this last will and testament while ire are still in our right mind.

Winners of Blume High School ❖ ❖ Contest Announced Popularity Ruth Koch and Roland Swonguer, both Seniors, have been chosen as the most popular girl and boy of Blume High School. Miss Koch is a very outstanding student of Blume High. She is associated with the musical organizations of the the school and has held several high offices throughout her four years at Blume High. She is a true friend to all who meet her half way. She is popular with the majority of students because of her participation in so many clubs and organizations. Mr. Swonguer is also very capable in anything he undertakes. He has participated in clubs and has been chosen as president of his class for the four years he has attended this high school. Since this is the first time in the history of Blume High School such a thing has occurred, it is indeed an honor and well illustrates his popularity with students. He has been outstanding in athletics, particularly basketball and track. He is well known for his haste in getting anywhere. He is always in a hurry! For a week, Blume High seethed with suppressed excitement over the Popularity Contest. It was sponsored by the Retrospect staff for two purposes: first, to make more money and second, to determine the most popular girl and boy of the high school. It was a success in both ways. First of all, two students, a boy and a girl, were chosen from each class as the most popular of that class. These were as follows: Freshmen, Leola Vorhees and James Shaw: Sophomores: Orva Cannon and Waldo Smith: Juniors: Eleanor Jane Abe and Darrell Woolf. These selections were regarded as honors also. The voting was carried on at the noon hour in room 7, called the Old Library Room. Each person who had paid a fifty cent deposit on his Retrospect was entitled to 250 votes which really meant 500 for they counted for one boy and one girl of that person’s choice. Those persons who had paid their dollar were entitled tc cast 500 votes for their favorites. Any extra votes which any one desired to cast were five for a penny. The contest lasted for only one week. Those who were in charge of the votes were Clarice Underwood, Leatha Hoopingarner, Dorothy Shaw, and Mary Bowman. Each class had a representative at the voting headquarters. Each day the results were posted on the board in the front of the Assembly room. These results were a constant reminder to persons that they must get their votes in. The Senior class of ’33 is very proud of the fact that two of their group have been chosen as the most popular couple of the school. No one is reluctant in admitting that they really deserve this title. Both are members of the Retrospect staff and they have faithfully carried out the tasks set before them. The members of the Retrospect staff wish to thank the students of Blume High for their cooperation in putting this contest over successfully. They appreciate the publicity given to the Popularity Contest by the students of the classes of Blume High School. They wish to announce that they are determined that their Retrospect be pleasing and satisfactory to the student body and to the faculty of Blume High School. NEXT YEAR’S GRADUATES TOP ROW—J. Moser.

After they were shown the camp and had been informed of the rules of a well-disciplined army, they formed themselves into battalions. This young group of soldiers elected as their commander-in-chief for the year, Frederick Jacobs. The commanding officers who had been chosen for their remarkable ability organized the various companies, which were trained and drilled by the officials in charge. Together they went over the daily routine of the daily drills and sham battles. They met with many uncomfortable circumstances, but faced them all with undaunted courage. But along with this incessant training was the recreation period. There were those who made themselves outstanding in athletics and others who were prominent in music. Later on they were admitted to the “Y organizations in which they showed their true spirit and loyalty, gaining the respect and friendship of the soldiers who had been in training for a longer time. This drilling has continued for three years with each soldier becoming more and more enthused over the training of the day. A few became dis- TOP ROW—T. Cornell, F. Jacobs. V. Feil. C. Fleming. C.

They leave their tasks to their fellowmen. Three years have passed and they look forward with great anticipation to a fourth year which will end their days of training. It will be an exciting day at the end of the four years as they wonder if they can stand the test of facing the cannon fire on the front. They see medals being conferred on their friends who have worked and who have done noble and unforgettable deeds during their four short years of service. There will be some who will continue on in the drilling and training, learning how to fight new battles and obstacles of different types. They will probably become leaders and commanders who will carry on the tasks of the future. Others will perhaps feel they have the necessary training and will try to use this training to their best advantage. They will regret leaving but their regret will become blotted out as they think of the many delightful memories they will have to carry with them and which are bound to linger throughout their lives.

Our first official act, as a class, was the election of officers for the year. William Martin was chos-2n for our president: Billy Martin, vice-president; Helen Heil, secretary; and Waldo Smith, treasurer. Our first social activity was a Freshmen party held at the high school gym. This proving a great success we were then privileged to have another social gathering which happened to be just another party near the close of our Freshman school year. This met with success and we were ready to bring our social affairs to a dignified close. With the beginning of our Sopr.omore year we felt ourselves to be full-fledged students of Blume High School. Knowing the rules and regulations concerning a group of students embarking upon their second year of their high school career, we felt at ease as we stepped into cur assigned places. Our officers for the year were chosen and as a result William Martin was again chcsen president; Orva Cannon, vice-president: Helen Heil, secretary; and Jack Davis, treasurer. Our social activities for the year have been confined to one party. After this followed weeks and months of consecutive study broken by assembly programs in which we had a chance to test our abilities in a literary way. We as Sophomores had our chance to show cur oratorical talents before our Upper and Under classmate friends, while paying tribute to two of our world’s greatest men, Washington and Lincoln, by giving a special program in their memory during the month of February. Being Sophomores we were now eligible to inter and take part in the Girls Reserve and Hi-Y organizations. We have contributed a number of athletes to the school who have in many ways helped to gain and uphold the honor and good sportsmanship of our own Blume High School. Several of our number were chosen for the cast in the high school underclass play which to us seems a rather great achievement. Our social activities have helped to create in us a fine and lasting spirit of cooperation and friendliness toward one another. When fall comes, we shall be looking forward with great anticipation to another successful year as Juniors of Blume High School. THE NEWCOMERS TOP ROW—H. Bailey. A. Howell. P. Comer. L. Russell.

On September 6, 1932, a new ship was launched on Blume Hi’s stormy waters. The name of this mighty vessel was Freshman 1932—1936. Being such a new ship, they didn’t have any officers so after a few days sailing over strange waters, they elected the ship’s officers for the rest of the year. Following officers were elected for the mighty ship, Freshman 1932—1936. The Captain elected was James Shaw. The First Lieutenant was Billy Bibler. The Second Lieutenant, Leola Vorhees and Third Lieutenant, Leona Beckwith. After sailing over oily waters for a period, they decided that it was high time to celebrate. So, they called a meeting on the poop deck and decided to hold a big party. Since this was in October, they decided to turn it into a Halloween party. Various committees were appointed to distribute the hard-tack and to clean and wax the decks so they would be suitable for dancing. Other sailors were to chain the tables and chairs to the floor and to tie strings to the cards, so they wouldn’t get lost if the ship should come into a storm. A stowaway on the ship was found.

This was Dean Kohler. The decorations were to be of good old black and orange, the colors so prominent at this time of year. The committee appointment had no more then been finished when the watch in the crow’s nest called out “Ship to the Starboard.” All the passengers ran to that side of the ship and almost upset it. The captain of the Freshmen sent a telegram inviting them to come alongside. The Captain of the Sophomores signaled back and said “Coming at once.” When the good ship Sophomore pulled alongside the Freshman, much greeting was found evident because the crews and passengers of each ship found that their old friends were members of the other ship. Promptly an invitation was given to the members of the Sophomore ship to join the Freshman in her activities and so a great party was held. The good Ship Freshman is nearing port. The ship has to be repaired before it can resume its journey, so they’ll take leave of her now. THE RETROSPECT AND ITS MAKING TOP ROW—F. Stroh. B. Sheets. W. Bachman. R. Koch. C. Graham. E. Cartmell.

The Retrospect Staff of the 1933 publication has been planning faithfully all year in order to make this year’s annual the best ever. The staff was elected in the early part of the year and the members have been'working hard to turn out a superior product. The staf: this year has been working under rather serious handicaps. In the first place, subscriptions were difficult to get because of the economic condition in which the country is at the present time. The school was canvassed several times in an effort to get the required number of subscribers to be able to publish an annual. The price also had to be reduced so that it would be within the price range of a sufficient number to make the publication possible. Although the price was cut, at the same time the quality of the book was to be maintained and made better. However, the staff has been working very hard and are awaiting some expression of appreciation for their labor. Ever since the selection of the staff was made, the staff has been working to get the book ready for sale at the end of the year. Work has been going on continuously on the part of the staff members in order to live up to expectations. The first publication of the Retrospect was made in 1908, and ever since that time the townspeople and pupils of Blume High have looked forward with great eagerness to seeing the new annual. Each class has tried to make their book the best or to surpass that of the previous years. The class of 1933 has the same purpose in mind and it wishes to hold to the old tradition. The senior class wishes this book to be their work and act as a remembrance for time to come. It is not to be thought of as the work of a few individuals, but rather as that of the work of the class done through representatives. Especially is great praise due the editors, Margaret Seitz and Mildred Rinehart, for their extensive work in planning the book and taking care of the details of publication. Honor is also due Roland Swonguer, business manager, for his splendid work in getting advertisements. Appreciation is also due Miss Blankenbaker, adviser, for her help. Last, but not least, the departmental reporters deserve great credit for the work in their respective assignments. The staff members have enjoyed working together this year and wish to present this book as that of the Senior Class of 1933. OUR WEEKLY PAPER—THE LANTERN The staff of the Blume High weekly, The Lantern, has been working hard all year under the supervision of Miss Eugenia Noble. For the past two years, the Lantern has been published in the Saturday evening edition of the Daily News. This was made possible through the cooperation of the Daily News staff. The problem facing every class that undertakes this project, which has become a sort of tra-(Won, is to try to think of something new and entertaining. In the desire to get something unique ?nd something never before attempted in the Blume High paper, they have created several new columns ir their paper. These have been thought up with the idea chiefly of amusing the students. They outstanding. Our paper as compared with others will show its standing as compared with those similar in regard to type, construction, and method of publication. The members of the staff have been striving every week to make another edition of the paper possible. Work has been started on Monday of each week and carried through till Thursday, when it is sent to the printing office. The Junior class is fortunate in having such capable members, to carry on the class project, the publication of the Lantern for one full school year. Much credit is due the editor, Gertrude Jarvis, and her assistant, Billy Wenning. Both have worked: TOP ROW—C. Fleming. J. Moser, O. Snyder, H. Gibson. B. Bibler, B. Wenning. H. Nelson. R. Miller.

These columns are devoted to educational topics in which the tax payers like to see what is being done with the money they raise to support the schools. To the sport devotees, write ups of the athletic activities carried on at school can be found in the Lantern. From this you can see that they have endeavored to create something of interest to all types of readers. This task has not been an easy one. Every member of the staff has been working in his respective field in order to make every department hard to get the assignments made and completed on time and have written headlines as part of their duties. The heads of the various departments deserve great praise for making the work in their different fields interesting and informative. The business manager, John Moser, also should receive recognition for his year’s work in this capacity. And last, the one who does not belong to the Junior class. Miss Noble, deserves as much or greater praise for her work in the capacity of supervisor. Next year when the present Sophomore class undertakes this responsibility, they will appreciate the work that has been done on the part of the members of the Lantern staff and can say with the others. “Well done.” CHRISTIAN ORGANIZATIONS GIRL RESERVES The Girls’ Reserve Club of Blume High School is an international organization and a branch of the Y. W. C. A. The first local club was organized in spring of 1924. This year there are 46 members. The purpose of the Girls’ Reserve Club is, “To find and give the best.” The slogan is, “Face Life Squarely.” The symbol of the organization is the triangle within the circle. The three sides of the triangle represent Spirit, Mind and Body, all held together by the unbroken circle of Friendship. All upper classmen who fulfill the pledge of the organization are eligible for membership. This has been a very successful year for the Girls’ Reserve. During the football season the girls had a “Hot-dog” stand at the games. One of their daily features is the candy stand in the hall after school. The Club sent six delegates to the Girls’ Reserve Conference which was held in Lima. Among the other interesting social activities this year were several parties and a Girl Reserve Alumni banquet. A great deal of credit for the success of the club this year goes to the help and guidance of our club adviser, Miss Postle. TOP ROW—H. Hell. R. Heil. A. Bowsher. Miss Postle, R. Koch, W. Shaw. P.

A group of Blume High boys organized themselves in January, 1924, into a Hi-Y club, affiliated with State, National and International organizations. The club today, which is composed of 42 members, has openly pledged itself to support the purpose of the Hi-Y, “To create, maintain, and extend throughout the school and community, high standards of Christian character.” “Clean Living, Clean Speech, Clean Sportsmanship and Clean Scholarship.” are the four planks of the Hi-Y platform.

Any upper classman of Blume High School who meets these standards may be admitted into the organization. Regular weekly meetings of the Club are held to transact business and discuss topics of interest.

Other activities of the Hi-Y included: Parties, a swimming party at Lima, and the Annual Hi-Y conference.

At each meeting two pupils take charge of the proceedings, acting as hosts and hostesses, and conducting the conversation in French. Miss Postle entertained first, serving refreshments. They find it very interesting to meet about a table spread with attractive tidbits. The food suggests topics for conversation and adds to their pleasure. The committees for the year are as follows: Betty Sheets and Dorothy Long, Tom Cornell and Darrell Woolf, Dorothy Jackson and Charlotte Graham, Roland Swonguer and Richard Hiner, Imogene Green and Miss Postle. The Math Club, is also one of the new clubs organized at Blume High School this year. The purpose of the Math Club is to promote a greater interest in mathematics. To be eligible for membership, a student must be taking or have had at least a year of mathematics. This membership is not restricted to upper-classmen but is open to all four W. CLUB—TOP ROW-J.

This organization was formed to promote better training, clean living, clean sportsmanship, cooperation, good fellowship, a high scholastic standing, and also enhance a prestige of Blume High athletics in athletic competition and in the class room. All letter-men of Blume High School are eligible for membership. To remain in good standing however, all members must keep up a scholastic standing, as well as good athletic conduct. As a project for the coming year the club has decided to publish a year book of the “Red Skins.” This will contain a summary of each sport and the outstanding players and plays. Mr. Hamm was the very efficient advisor of the club this year. CLUBS COMMERCIAL CLUB Pres...Glenn Bowman V. Pres..L. A.

Shappell The Commercial Club of Blume High School was founded in 1932 for the purpose of studying the problems of the business world. The object is to offer to its members facilities for acquiring valuable knowledge of business and its requirements of the profession for developing ability in the business world. Eligibility requires two majors or one major and two minors in Commercial Work. Mr. Taylor is the splendid leader of the club. Twice each week the chorus met and practiced. Several members motored to Dayton to hear Don Cossack and the Russian Male Chorus, a wonderful organization. The major project was the Eisteddfod at Ada, March 31. The preliminary try-outs were held here March 21 with Prof. Sidney Hauenstein of Bluff ton college as adjudicator. The successful members were O. Cannon, soprano; C. Underwood, alto; H. Fessler, tenor: C. Loew, baritone and piano solos; O. Cannon, E. J. Abe and Shaw, girls’ trio; F. Hamilton, C. Loew, R. Swonguer, J. Smallwood, boys’ quartet; C. Loew, C. Shaw, O. Cannon, H. Fessler, mixed quartet. Of these, C. Loew took first in piano, second in baritone: and the mixed quartet took first. The subject for debate this year was one used by the State Debate League. It was: Resolved: that at least 50% of all state and local revenue should be derived from sources other than tangible property. Both teams met the teams from Lima South and Bluffton. A debate between the home teams before the assembled school ended the season. This was the only defeat suffered by the affirmative. The negative lost one debate to Lima South. The Coach was Miss Wilson. The affirmative side consisted of: E. J. Abe, C. Loew. R. Swonguer wath K. Wentz, alternate; the negative, L. Perkins, J. Wisener, L. Stiles with J. Moser, alternate. MUSICAL ACTIVITIES One of the most outstanding representations of Blume High was the band. It was seen and heard at all home games—both football and basketball. They paraded several times through the business district and on the football field, proudly bearing and wearing the school colors, red and white, under the leadership of their colorful and gallant drum major, the late Lee Haman. Their stirring music encouraged the teams to play with unflinching hearts. The student body cooperated with the band in showing the team that it was pulling for them. On March 21 at the try-outs for the Eisteddfod, several soloists competed to see which member would represent our school at Ada and New Bremen, March 31 and April 21, respectively. The representatives chosen for Ada were Bill Martin, cornet; Bill Bibler, clarinet. Those chosen for New Bremen were Leonard Line, cornet and alto horn solos: Mary Neidemire, saxophone; Bill Bibler, clarinet; Junior Musser, trombone: Junior Musser, Roland Morris, Leonard Line, and Bill Martin, brass quartet; John Smallwood, Howard Krapf, Bill Bibler, and Jim Shaw, clarinet quartet. The whole band competed in a difficult overture number “The Wedding Ring.” Under the able leadership of Prof. O. E. Steiner the band was considerably enlarged and improved. Several grade school boys were added to the ranks in order for them to gain experience and knowledge. And so, after such a successful year, we are justified in saying. “Hats off to the Band!” TOP ROW—F. Wisener. L. Koch. E. Koch. H. Distelrath. J. Smallwood SECOND ROW—R. Ewing. Mr. Steiner. P. Stech.

This year, under the excellent direction of Mr. Steiner, the orchestra improved remarkably. Several new members were added to the ranks to take the place of vacancies caused by a few members who had graduated. The orchestra is an excellent organization for the music-minded instrumentalists of the school. The practice of popular and worth-while compositions proved beneficial and entertaining to all the members. It really is an art for an orchestra or band to get to the point where they watch the director so much that they all play simultaneously. Practice and indulgence must be used to try to gain this art.

Several members made appearances. Four students from the string section, namely, Lena Ruth Vossler, Ruth Herrmann, Ruth Koch, and Cornelius Loew, played a selection at the Band Concert at New Bremen on April 21. The number was “Largo” from the New World Symphony wth the popular strain of “Going Home.” And now we, who have been under the guidance of Mr. Steiner, wish to express our gratitude for the valuable teachings and entertainment derived from his directorship. We thank you, Mr. Steiner. DRAMATIC PRODUCTIONS “A LUCKY BREAK” Things begin to brighten up around Hotel Mullet in Matasquam with the arrival of John Bruce (Rol Swonguer), a local boy who has made good. While he is enjoying his visit, Abner Ketcham (John Wisener) breaks the news that Petroleum Amalgamated, in which he thinks John Bruce is heavily involved, has gone to smash. John does not deny the report and he accepts a job as assistant manager in Hotel Mullet. This plan is run by Martha Mullet (Carmen Shaw) and Nora Mullet, her daughter (Betty Botkin) for whom Mrs. Mullett has a career planned. Among the guests at the Hotel are Mrs. Barrett (Mildred Rinehart) and her daughter, Claudia (Betty Sheets), who is in love with Tommy Lansing (Richard Hiner). John Bruce (in reality a millionaire) works at his humble job until Charles Martin, his business manager (Leonard Perkins) A LUCKY BREAK—TOP ROW—H. Gibson. A. Bowsher. Miss Zeigler. R. Koch. J.

Mr. Bruce is then able to help Tommy Lansing with a $10,000 contract for a job on the basis of which he elopes with Claudia. Mrs. Barrett is very much disappointed and annoyed and, as the curtain goes down, John Bruce and Nora Mullett are in each other’s arms. Others taking part in the play are Kathryn Wentz in the role of Elmine Ludine Smith; Herbert Fessler as Benny Ketcham: Mary Jane Youngs and Lulu Mae Terwilliger as the French dancing teachers, Jura and Charlotte Charente; Bella Mac Watt (Annabel Bowsher), Alchiba Spinster (Pauline Metzger), and Alphecca Spinster (Ruth Koch), as guests at the hotel; and Harold Gibson as the busman.

Congratulations are extended by everyone except Edward Wales (Fenton Hamilton) who explains that he will make known the reason the next day. Wales engages a spiritualist, Madam Rosalie La Grange, I Emily Garretson) to conduct a seance after the dinner during the conduction of which he is stabbed and killed. Tim Donohue (Edward. Stro-bel) arrives and conducts an investigation in which he openly accuses Miss O’Neill. Through divine help and good acting, Madame La Grange reveals the identity of the real murderer, Philip Mason, (Cornelius Loew) by means of another trance. We then discover that Madame La Grange is Helen O’Neill’s mother w'r.o sent the girl away to school at an early age.

REDSKINS WITH THE PIGSKIN The Redskins, although they lost seven games, won two, and only tied one, held great interest for local fans. The locals’ games were all very close and five of the seven games were lost in the last minute of play. This alone tells us why it was that the Blume High Pigskin Chasers gave the champions, Bluff ton, the best game of their entire league schedule, and were defeated in the last seven seconds of the game. The Redskins opened their season against Columbus Grove and showed possibilities of having one of Blume High School’s best football teams. They defeated their opponents by a score of 6 to 0. The following week saw them through an early season test that proved more satisfactory than was expected. The Redskins were defeated by a lone touchdown. The Bellefontaine boys outweighed them by about thirty-five pounds per man. The next game was at Bryan. This Bryan aggregation had held the strong Toledo Woodward team to a scoreless tie the preceding week. The Redskins fumbled on Bryan’s goal line and, on their fourth attempt at the strong forward wall of the Wapak boys, Bryan just nosed the pigskin over the chalk line for a pointer. The following week saw the Redskins in their first Conference game of the season on the local grounds with the Bluffton Pirates as their playmates. It was an evenly played game until the final six seconds when one of the Pirates completed a pass and ran forty yards for the only score. Van Wert was next met on the gridiron. A great crowd witnessed the game, which was held at Harmon Field. Fresh from their victory over St. Marys, the Van Wert Cougars entered the game as a huge favorite. This game proved to be the best the Redskins played all year. Although they were defeated by a score of 18 to 32, they completely swamped their opponents in first downs, and yardage gained from scrimmage. Next game was second game played away from home during the season. For the first time the local boys were really out-played as they went down to defeat by a 26 to 0 score. The following Conference game was played at home when Wapak met the boys from Ada in a contest which Blume High lost by a 6 to 0 score. Captain Chesbrough’s boys made eleven first downs to Ada's four. They were defeated by both Kenton and St. Marys by the same score of 19 to 0. The Redskins played their final game of the season at Shawnee in a sea of snow, ice, water, and plenty of mud. The battle ended in a score of 0 to 0. Bus Chesbrough was elected captain of the Redskins and proved to be very efficient. He played quarterback and has held this position for four years. He was also chosen quarterback on one of the All-Conference teams. Coach Hamm rates Chesbrough as the best high school quarterback with whom he has ever had the privilege of working. Other Seniors who played their last year are Glenn Bowman, tackle; he was plenty big and tough and always got his share of the tackles; Glenn was chosen as All-Conference guard in his Junior year. John Churchill, guard, was a three letter man. Jim Singleton, knowm as “Bone Crusher” Singleton, played end. Graham and Bailey were new faces in the Redskin backfield and both were plenty hard to bring down. Ruck and Jack Chesbrough were new members in the Redskin line-up, and they both earned letters. Jack was chosen as honorable mention for the All-Conference team. This is his last year, as well as Ruck’s. The Junior class was blessed with football letter men this year as there were six of them who received letters. Nelson, Woolf and Strobel were back field men and proved to be great defensive men as well as good ball carriers. Tieben, Cornell and Jacobs were the other Juniors who played on the line for the Redskins. The Freshmen class set a record this year, having three letter men. These were: Bibler, Dieringer and E. Cornell. Clyde Ste-men was the only Sophomore who succeeded in winning a letter. Clyde came to our school from Del-phos wrhere he also played football. TOP ROW—Coach Hamm. R. Hemmert. J. Chesbrough.

Coach had but two letter men to start the season in which he developed a team that played for the League Championship. Our boys finished in the Mid-West League in second position with only one out of seven teams proving to be superior to our Redskins. Our boys gave the Toledo Woodward boys a battle that thrilled the biggest crowd that the new Blume Memorial gym has ever seated. The first period of the game saw the Redskins and Polar Bears from Toledo both scoring 6 points. The second half of the game saw the strong Toledo team pushing forward enough to nose our boys out by a 16 point margin. The St. Marys game is also a game which will be long remembered by both the fans and Coach Hamm’s boys. The Redskins piled up 40 points to only 18 for the Rough Riders from St. Marys. The last game was played at Delphos. The Redskins nosed the Delphos boys out by a 3 point margin in a hard fought game. This game was important because of the fact that this was the first time in three years that Delphos has been defeated on its own floor. Delphos also went to the semi-finals in the State Tournament this year. The Redskins did not lose a game in 1933 on their home court. The first Conference game was played with Ada on our floor The Redskins, in the face of the test, proved to be superior by a 27 to 22 win for themselves. Next the Pirates from Bluffton defeated the Redskins in their second encounter. The next two games the Redskins played were victories. They defeated the ex-champions of the League from Van Wert, by a 25 to 16 score; and also defeated the ex-champions of Mercer county from Rockford by TOP ROW—J. Smallwood. L Logan. Coach Hamm. D Kohler. W. Martin. THIRD ROW—F. Jacobs. B. Swonguer. J. Chesbrough. a score of 27 to 18. In the last game of the season, which was played with Lima Central in the District Tournament, the Redskins were defeated by a 32 to 22 score. Although the Redskins were conquered in the first game of the Tournament, they played the winner of the Tournament the closest game they had in the entire contest. Blume High should also be proud of the great reserve team which Coach Hamm produced again this year. The first string line-up gave the local fans a vision of new faces. Roland Swonguer was elected captain by the squad. Rollie played guard and was known for his speed and his exceptional ability for guarding. He was a threat for every team the Redskins played. Jack Chesbrough, who played his last year for Blume High, was a forward. Jack was known for his ability in shooting baskets and his clever way of handling the ball. Irvin Logan, forward, was a three letter man. He could always be depended upon for his share of the buckets and always played a bang-up floor game. This is Irvie’s last year. Bus Chesbrough, forward, also played his last year for Blume High. Bus was fast and could be depended upon for some points in every game. There were three Juniors who played on the regular line-up this year. They proved to be real bas-keteers for the Redskins. Dub Woolf played well. He was a good offensive man; although he played a guard position, he always scored many points. Pitts Jacobs, forward, was the high point man for the Redskins. Pitts was also a good floor man. Fent Hamilton, center, was the big tall boy for the Redskins and he really used his height to some advantage. He proved a good defensive man as well as an offensive threat. SECOND ROW—C. Kistner. J.

The season of 1932-33 has proved a successful one for the “Indian Maids” of Blume High school, who under their coach, Mary Miller, have come through with but one defeat in nine games. The season began with the teams being made up of six girls who had previously won their letters. These girls had played for four years together and had fought hard for championship. The girls elected a captain for each game. At the end of the season an honorary captain, Elizabeth Cartmell, was chosen by the coach, Mary Miller. “Liz” has done much for her team as a forward, and showed them how to play fast basketball. Then there is Lula Mae Terwilliger who helped her team to victory many a time by scoring just at the right time. Mona Linder, the partner of the forward trio, was always alert and ready for action. We now look at the defensive stars of the team. Shirley Kolter more than once held her opponent to a scoreless game. Her spirit has often helped her to win a game by fighting harder. Then there’s Ruth Vossler, better known as “Cis.” If you have seen Cis in action you know what we mean when we say she was, There! As a new regular on our team Marjean Headapohl has already made for herself a name as a guard. Jean will be back next year. Florence Kantner has also earned a letter this year. She plays guard and is noted for her creed, “Fight for the Victory”. She has another year to play. Ethel Langhorst, and June Pfenning also have had a chance to show their ability in the forward territory. They too have earned a letter and both will be back next year. Virginia McCormick also earned a letter this year as a faithful manager of the Indian Maids. Her assistant manager, Doris Cannon, is eligible for a letter next year. Other girls who have come faithfully to practice but have not yet earned letters deserve honorary mention. They are Caroline “Tots” Weimert, Orva Cannon, Laura Youngs, Zelna Koons, Louise Disney, Kathaleen Woolf, Susan Seitz, Leona Beckwith, Janice Hangen, Verna Lucas, Dorothy Goetz. In the first game of the season the team handed the New Knoxville maids a real defeat. The Indian Maids held the lead throughout the entire game. Their next game was a hard fought game but they succeeded in defeating Ohio City. Criders-ville has always been a real opponent but the Blume Hi team showed them real defeat this year. There has always been a thrill of excitement when the girls play the Alumni. This year it was a hard fight, the game ending in a tie. They won from Rockford by a large score. The whole squad had a chance to show what they could do. With Lakeview the girls have fought hard but there’s always that saying “some one must lose.” The girls met their first, and only, defeat of the season at Bluffton. The game was exciting and close all the way through, but when the final whistle sounded the Bluffton team led by a three point margin. Once again we met the Rockford girls on our own floor. It was evident by the score that the Rockford girls have improved but not enough to beat the Blume High Indian Maids. The last game of the season was with New Bremen. The first half the Indian Maids did not take such a big lead but the last half they came back with a zest, winning the last game of their schedule. Thus ends our season of success and we say that each player did her best and fought through the whole year. May the coming team prove to be even more successful than we! OUR CINDERMEN 1932 TRACK The 1932 Redskin Cindermen met with excellent success. They won undisputed championship of the Mid-western League, scoring more points than all the rest of the schools in the League added together. They won ten out of a possible fourteen places and both relays. During the regular track season they lost only one meet and that was at Piqua by the narrow margin of two points. They finished their most successful track season with impressive victories over Sidney, Ada, St. Marys, Celina, Bluffton, Kenton. The outstanding achievement of the squad was the splendid showing in the district meet at Mans- field. There they qualified in six events for the state finals. The events qualified in were: (1) 220 yd. dash—Tom Davis; (2) shot put—B. Bowman: (3) broad jump—J. Bailey; (4) pole vault—R. Swon-guer; (5) mile run—Fenton Hamilton; (6) javelin —J. Bailey. Bailey’s toss of 164’-7” in the jave.in was the second best toss in the state high school circles. Great things are expected of him in 1933. Results of 1932 track are as follows: Redskins (58)—Piqua (60). Redskins (65)—Sidney 1 33). Redskins (72)—Celina (28) St. Marys (18). Redskins (72)—St. Marys (18) Celina (28). Redskins (72)—rest of league (46). Redskins (87)—Ada (31). 1933 TRACK REDSKINS PRESENT BLUME HI WITH FIRST. The Redskins are undefeated on the cinder track this year. They opened the season with a victory over Piqua, 65 to 53. Their outstanding achievement of the current season came the next week when they defeated the Sidney Yellow Jackets. Sidney boasted the strongest team in their school’s history. They had just beaten Dayton Stivers before encountering the Redskins. Tie Red and White thinly clads retained the Mid-western title at Ohio Northern Field. They set an all time record by scoring in every event. They also broke five league records. They set a new league mark by scoring 1st, 2nd, and 3rd, and 4th in the javelin throw. Bailey was entered in four events. He won four firsts and broke four league records. The final score of the League meet was: Wapakoneta ...73 1-3 Bluffton 9 Ada ............39 1-3 Van Wert 0 St. Marys ........23 Kenton 9 Celina ..............9 1-3 LAST DUAL MEET Ada ..............39 Wapakoneta .......79 RESULTS OF LEAGUE MEET 10 m. 5 sec. 100 yd. dash—Messenger (A) Ruck (W) 24 m. 220 yd. dash—Messenger (A) Ruck (W) 55 m. 2 sec. 440 yd. dash-Graham (W) Ruck (W 2 m. 9.5 sec. 880 yd. run—Triplehorn (A) Thrush (W) D.

THE SCHOOL SONG OF 1933 (Sing to the tune of “All American Girl” We are the Redskins, from old Blume High School, We’re here to show you just what w e can do, We’re going to fight for, Our Alma Mater, And be good sportsmen too. We’re going to cheer for our dear old high school, We’re going to push her to the front, don’t fear. So come on now, Let’s show our spirit, And give her a rousing good cheer. The red and white shall never fade, ’Cause many heroes here are made. We’re going to win! We’re bound to win! We will have victory! But if we lose, We’ll not complain, Because we’ve fairly played the game, And after all fair and square, Are the elements of fame. Rah! The students from Blume High deserve applause From athletics let us take a pause. Rah! Rah!—Rah Rah Rah! Here’s to the scholars. That Blume High sends forth, Here’s to the honors they’ve brought home to us, Here’s to the rest of, The student body, Who’ve done their best through out. Here’s to the best school, Our dear Blume High School, Here’s to the future she may hold for us, Here’s to our courage and great ambition, That her colors ne’er trail in the dust. —By KATHRYN WENTZ «Jh i i s j j j 6 I j I j A V | | i i i i ! i ! i i i i PATRONIZE | j OUR ! i I ADVERTISERS ! | I THEY I j PATRONIZE | I us ! i i i THE I G A.
