E. Stultz Music-Dick Iones, Class of '40 There's a high school in Ohio near the banks of the Auglaize And to her we each say, I owe Thee a heartfelt song of praise. Hail to thee Dear Alma Mater, temple reared by God's own hand, Our gratitude we offer though we roam through many lands. When Life's evening shadows lengthen and the shades of night draw near Then our love for thee will strengthen and each memory grow more dear. When our weary footsteps falter as we near the golden strand Our adoration will not alter nor thy ideals seem less grand. Refrain Dear Blume High School we adore thee and welll guard thy sanctity May the noble thought that bore thee live through all eternity.

Foster, Coach Paul Sc-hofer While the graduates of yesterday are wear- ing their steel helmets instead of leather ones, at their posts on the far flung battle fronts of the World, we cannot over exaggerate our longing that you, the undergraduates will be able to continue to develop your bodies through competitive sports hereg however, we hope you will not have to engage in war, as they are, but may you become a stronger and better citizen. It is our hope that the under- graduates can continue to idolize a football, basketball, or baseball, rather than a rifle and hand grenade, which have taken the place of the former pigskin, at least temporarily. Perhaps it is the spirit gained while Wearing the leather helmets in their high school days that is enabling the soldiers of today to score the huge success they are, while in the face of the enemy. ln athletics. unlike anywhere else, coordination, strength, speed. and skill can be developed to such an extent that it will be an asset to each youth who leaves high school and takes a place in life. no matter in what field of activity if' may be. XVith five seniors lost through graduation. the same number of underclassmen will be needed to fulfill these positions on next yearis football squad. To the entire team of the on- coming season, we the seniors wish the best of luck for a great deal of success. May you con- tinue to be an inspiration for those younger than you, to wage a successful gridiron cam- paign. Under head Coach Paul Schofer and assist- ant Coach Charles Foster, the 1944 Redskins raked up a season's record of five Wins and four defeats, and, in doing so, compiled a total of 168 points. thus setting a new scoring record for a Blume eleven in a similar number of games. Much of the success of the season goes to the eighteen lettermen who played the niaiority of the time. Among the letterwin- ners were the following seniors, Captain Rolly Gicrhart, Ken Urich, liud Shuster, Bob Crusie, and Dick Hitters. The remaining lettermen were underclassmen and next year's team will be molded around ffhesc boys. They were Doc Urich. lohn VVehner, Iohn Butcher, Richard Cozad.

From the class of 1945, Io Ann Peter- son was chosen. Charming Io Ann came to Blume at the be- ginning of this year with varied experiences. Preceding her enrollment at Blume she studied in schools in several other states including Texas, Louisiana, Illinois, and also in Haifa, Palestine. Our school exhibited a very com- mendable attitude when its pupils accepted Io Ann so readily, proving that the spirit of friendly responsiveness reigns in the school. The lovely queen was formally introduced to the spectators of the Wapak-Van Wert foot- ball game, October 20, 1944, by Superintendent Glenn Drummond. ln his presentation speech Mr. Drummond complimented the pupils on being democratic in their actions directed to- ward the newcomer, Io Ann. Wilbur Schmaltz escorted the queen and her attendants, Mickey Schnell and Elizabeth Har- vey. In a brief ceremony at the Homecoming Dance after the game Io Ann was crowned queen by last year's queen, Io Ann Shuster. The Homecoming celebration was a grand success. We hope that future celebrations will be as satisfactory as this year's.

The students who are elected be- come members of the Cheerleading Organiza- tion and accept their job as it is stated in their constitution. It is the aim and purpose of the Cheer-leaders to develop a spirit of sports- manship in the student body and to promote interest in school athletics. This year the task was given to lim Frazier, Dick Locke, Milo Wellington, and Doris Or- phal. lim served as captain, and, regardless of weather, all were on hand and willing to boost the Redskins to victory. By introducing new cheers, good luck charms, and new uni- forms, their reception by students seldom wav- ered. A superstition introduced by these lead- ers Was the wearing of plaid shirts on the day of a game. If plaid shirts Worn on the day of the game were responsible for the excellent record set in basketball, the idea should surely be continued. In addition to the usual duties, the squad found time to sponsor a record dance and have a party in the spring. The seniors hope the underclassmen will carry on the fine sportsmanship for which Blume High School is commended. This year's cheer-leaders surely accomplished their pur- pose. , 1 I 5, U 'T'-A wr, 219 ,. ,, 3 Kg: is A 'E f L, Q. 25? 53 , , 6 f , sf ,A 'M v K sl I .

Its sec- ond year in Blume High School has proved even more successful than the first. Surely a girl who is physically fit can do more for herself and school by becoming a member of G.A.A. Every girl in high school is urged to become a member of this exciting organiza- tion. Senior members are confident that the underclassmen will want to continue and ex- pand the program now followed in G.A.A. This year the sports which were particularly stressed were kickball, volley ball, basketball, bowling, and softball. Major tournaments with keen competition were witnessed in each one. In addition to this, the girls enjoyed ping-pong, free throw, badminton, and deck tennis tourn- aments. Once a month the G.A.A. girls spent an en- joyable evening of sports in the gymnasium. These playnigIits encouraged even further the girls' enthusiasm and in early spring the G.A.A. girls of St. Marys High School ex- changed playnights with Blume. A point system was set up so that all girls who are eligible, can receive an athletic letter. Participation in any activity entitles her to points. One-thousand points are required for a letter. High point girls this year included Shirley Bonnoront, Mary Ellen Brown, Bette Fritz, Helen Lauer, and Mary Lou Mougey. Throughout the year, the club was active in many school enterprises and social activities. The girls presented a spring gym review with the boys' gym classes. The games, relays, marching, exercises, tumbling, and dances pre- sented, enabled the parents to see and under- stand Blume High's physical education pro-- gram. - First Row, Bottom: M. E. Brown, S.

The Iunior Hi-Y Club has played an effective part in the school activities of the underclass- men. This club, which is directly affiliated with the Senior Hi-Y. offers the same oppor- tunities of Christian fellowship in school, in extra-curricular activities and in recreation for younger high school boys that the Senior Hi-Y Club does for upperclassmen. It also lays the foundation for more active membership in the other organization. To incoming high school boys this club offers one of the first and one of the best opportunities for introduction into the extra-curricular activities of Blume H i gh school. During the year 1944-45 the organization took an active part in giving its members a vvell-rounded and helpful club program. The officers, Dan McKeever, president, Wally Howell, vice president, and Bill Sietz, secre- tary. In cooperation with Mr. Kuhlman, who was the faculty advisor, the boys Worked very effectively in carrying out a group of events which included various public speakers who appeared on programs, parties and the spring dance in cooperation with the Red Rectangle. This organization which consists of twenty five members is very eager to obtain the best qualified members, and for young boys who are interested there is no better place in the activity of Blume High school to be in.

SENIOR H 'Llt shall be the purpose of this organization to create, maintain and extend throughout the school and community high standards of Christian character. lt was With this purpose in mind, that twelve senior boys including their president, Iack Lament, and their advisor, Mr. Foster, began in the fall of 1944 to reorganize the Senior Hi-Y Club of Blume I-Iigh School. To accomplish this, it was necessary to revise their constitution, the policy for member- ship and the program of the club. lt was only after Weeks of careful planning that thirty junior and senior boys were initiated into the organization with the traditional ceremony. Without any further loss of time the club began on a long list of school and community projects. A system of club management of the recreational center, the Wigwam was in- auguratd by this group. The refreshment stand at football games was under Hi-Y mana agement in cooperation with the Girl Reserves. The G. R.-Hi-Y Christmas dance was a high- light on the social calendar. Discussions and speeches were given at various times by cap- able community leaders. Two representatives, Mark Killian and Bill l-lartup, were sent to -Y the state I-li-Y Congress in December. During the Lenten season regular church attendance was accepted as a standard for Hi-Y members. The list of activities, along with a number of well-organized social events, make this year a beneficial one for the members of the organiza- tion and one which will also leave to the com- ing members a high goal for which to strive. .lack l,annm-ni. pil'-izlvlzlg Xlilo XY:-llington. -vt'i't'ttlry1 Dick Bitte-rs. xiv.-1--presicleiitg Nlr.

Their purpose To find and give the best is introduced for study at once and every girl is urged to join. As members, they meet girls of their own age and find the deeper significance of living that leads to a brighter and more interesting future. Thus, the seed for better living is well planted in their minds and opportunities for growth are cultivated. This year, Miss lean Whipple, as their ad- visor, helped to plan their programs so that they were all educational as well as entertain- ing. Through varied programs of music ap- preciation, community service and guidance, this year's members will be stronger, better women for tomorrow. Church membership was recognized throughout the year as a valu- able asset in the development of a well rounded personality. Through this initial year as Girl Reserves, these girls surely realize its value and have the purpose well planted in their minds. We must have good soil and proper culti- vation to produce the young plant, but the enouragement and care must never cease. lust so, these sophomore girls in the Red Rectangle have already discovered the value of Christian fellowship. They are eager and ready for further guidance to continue the kinds of pro- grams they Were introduced to in the Green Triangle. This year's Red Rectangle members chose Worth While Things In Life as their theme. Around this topic many interesting programs were presented. The girls were aware of the value of adult guidance and enjoyed many guest speakers during the club year. Through this plan for their programs, they were able to hear of vocations, hobbies, travels, and ex- periences that had enriched the lives of those who spoke to them. Indirectly many seeds of influence may have been sown and they can bloom in the life of each girl even after she has finished school. Miss Neva Whitmore, as advisor, did much to make the club year a success.

Still, in these years, environment is as important as ever and the girls must prepare to pursue new experiences in life. Now, more than ever, these girls' influence on the lives of those as- GIRL RESERVES sociated with them can be traced as the waves of the ocean. The Girl Reserve symbol is significant of the factors of G. R. living. The three sides of the triangle represent the spiritual, mental, and physical development of a G. R. member. This triangle is enclosed in a circle, representative of the waves of influence moving into a world wide circle. Through camping programs, staff conferences, and conventions, girls have had opportunity to meet Girl Reserve members from many different schools throughout the country. Those graduating hope that the fu- ture Girl Reserve clubs can realize the dream of world-wide Y.W.C.A. unity in a peaceful tomorrow. An unusually fine program plan was set up this year and Girl Reserves made great strides in improving its organization. The Girl Re- serve code was used as a theme for programs and each week one line was impressed on the girls through games, poems, music, or plays. Community service projects were proposed and some members assisted in Red Cross work. In partnership with the Senior Hi-Y, the girls managed the concessions stand during the football season. A formal dance, just before Christmas, proved to be the memorable social event of the year. First Nou'-Bl. Viztlkvr. NI, Nilriltlvy. C, Mavson, Nl. Sc-hm-ll. ll, Smith, li. llaru-y, P. Streiiglit. C.

Professor, How Could Youlll' was present- ed by the Iunior Class in the Blume Gym on November 20, 1944. It was under the direction of Miss Ada Hunt. We hope that you underclassmen will be fortunate enough to work under her lead- ership, for she is a very capable director. Miss Flora McCurdy helped keep the financial ac- counts and directed the advertising. Our town furnished an audience no differ- ent from those reported to have enjoyed the rollicking comedy. Vicky, the hot-headed nuisance, was ordered to apologize for her impertenent conduct or else drop the Ancient History course. Vicky needed the credit to graduate so she went to the Professor's home to apologize. There she overheard that the woman-hating professor had been offered the job of Dean providing he is engaged within ten days. Vicky, seeking revenge, decided her friend Valerie was just the one. For no man could resist her southern charm. However, Grand- ma Perry and the butler were sure Miss Tootsie Bean could win the professor's heart through his stomach. She was noted for her lemon chiffon pies. Iohn Alden was sure his pretty secretary, Pricilla, would suit the professor fine, even though she couldn't spell. Grandpa seemed to have a secret candidate. All decide to have a bet on each candidate. Grandma entertained all the prospects, Grandpa wrote a poem that made each girl think the professor had proposed to her. All accepted and the professor found himself claimed by three earnest girls. All came pre- pared to elope. Tootsie Bean brought her brother, Butcher Boy Bean, along to make sure she eloped with the professor, but she wasnt disappointed when she received a proposal from the butler whom she married. Iohn thought his secretary would make a pretty neat little wife so he claimed her. Valerie decided she would go back to her homeland, 'Kthe deah ole South . The surprise came when Grandpays candidate came out on top. Yes, Vicky won the professor. CAST Vicky ............................ .,........... ......

It is a branch of the American and Ohio Home Ec- onomics Association and is found in many schools throughout the country. The H. F. Club was organized in Blume High School for the first time this year.

Q s 'Q .LPS home economics classes are eligible for mem- bership and they can coordinate class and club work in a profitable manner. Home projects are an important part of club work. Each member is required to complete four home projects during the year. The na- ture of the project depends upon the individ- ual needs of the girls home. Projects may be selected from five areas which incude Clothing and Related Arts, Family and other Social Re- lationships, Foods and Nutrition, Home Furn- ishings and Housing, and Home Management. Under these, many topics for projects are found. In the fall, Carolyn Maxson and Nancy Fish- er represented Blume High School at the Ohio Future I-Iomemakers Association meeting in Columbus. They were able to hear many ex- cellent speeches and witness worth-while dem- onstrations. Upon their return, they reported to their home-ec classes and assisted in organ- izing the Home Economics Club. To us senior girls nothing would be more gratifying than to see this club expand in membership and influence in our community. Within the school it surely can take its place as a major service club along With Girl Reserves. Under the able direction of Vocational Ag- riculture teacher, Mr. Paul Hartup, the mem- bers of the FUTURE FARMERS OF AMER, ICA have studied to develop those qualities of leadership necessary for farmers of the future. thereby practicing brotherhood, and honoring rural opportunities and responsibilities. During the year, the boys have been kep' very busy with numerous projects and have 5 grand record to show for their achievements Most of their activities center around home project Work, field trips, and livestock and crop judging. Study of pure bred livestock was another important phase of their work. Those who represented the local club at the State F. F. A. Camp during the summer of 1944 were Gene Bailey, Charlie Copeland, Marvin Katter, Don Schultz, and Al Steinke. All the boys cooperated to the best of their ability in the annual pest hunt. Within the club is another organization- the Iunior Herd Testing Association. The name itself suggests the type of work which is involved. Members of F. F. A. pass through three stages.

The youth of Blume High School are no exception and each year sixteen class representatives are elected to see that the Blume High Assemblies are entertaining and educational. Their purpose is to bring before the student body a variety of programs during the school year. All assemblies are under the direction of A S S E M B L Y two students and one faculty advisor. Each month the assemblage witnessed one student program and one outside program. The out- side programs included several full length movies and three guest artists from the Chi- cago Assembly Company vvhile the student programs featured a variety of musical, com- edy, patriotic, and religious programs. Surely no one will forget the thrilling performances of Otto Schacht, Esther Doby and Lorino Campbell, or the 'LSoldier's Dreaml' presented by our students. Profit from the movie ad- mission fees was used to purchase a new pro- jector for the visual education department. In addition to their many duties, the As- sembly Committee had several parties and dances. Everyone will remember the lovely Thanksgiving dance they sponsored in No- vember. Assembly programs have become an im- portant part of the high school curriculum, may the underclassmen continue to present worth while, well planned assemblies. COMMITTEE ROVV 1.

For several years this group of elected representa- tives has met each week to study and solve the many problems that arise in the school. Through this understanding of student and faculty representation, unity and cooperation are maintained. This year major changes were made in the election of the president and the number of representatives. Prior to this year, each class elected four representatives. This year that number was increased to eight. The council president was elected by popular vote of the student body, while formerly, only the repre- sentatives voted for him. Both of these changes were made by ammending the Constitution of the Associated Students of Blume High School. The changes have proved advanta- geous and will be continued in the future. ln addition to solving the schools minor problems, the Council granted Constitutions to three new school organizations, conducted the sale of war bonds and stamps, held several paper drives, and passed laws for general im- provement of the school. So that the younger students of Blume High School should ever he reminded of the Amer- ican way of life and their democratic privileg- es, the School Council purchased an American flag and a school flag for the gymnasium. May these flags remind the underclassmen of their responsibility in carrying on democratic parti- cipation in the affairs of Blume High School.

SECRETARIAL STAFF The secretarial staff, directed by Mr. Taylor and assisted by Hulda Helmlinger, was a group of commercial students who were given the opportunity of acting as secretaries to the teachers.The students willingly accepted these responsibilities and all tried to do the work as efficiently as it was expected of them. The work was so diversified that it included as many phases of commercial activities as possible. This includes typing reports, mak- ing copies of various forms and tests, attend- ing to business correspondence, and any other work of a business nature the teacher wished to have done. At intervals a report of each students prog- ress was given to Mr. Taylor by the respective teachers. As a reward for their work each member received one-half credit, but more important is the experience and the knowledge which will aid them in becoming the future secre- taries and stenographers for the business men. This phase of the commercial course was introduced six years ago and has proven to be a decided help to the teachers and of great benefit to the students. We seniors trust that the under-classmen will capably continue the fine work of this group. Success in journalistic writing requires the abilities to see, understand, and tell. It is the purpose of the Lantern staff to report the news in such a way that the reader may visualize the situation and understand each experience. The Lantern is a connecting link between the school and town. Established primarily to inform the public of all class room and extra curricular activities it has developed into a project of interest to students as well as adults. Staff membership should develop writing abilities. Only those students who have shown journalistic talent in English classes are con- sidered for the staff. After the group is sel- ected, they must never cease study and practice. All news should be presented in an impersonal manner, sloppy writing should be avoided, grammar should be correctg and news should continually be gathered. The writer must never forget the importance of writing for a wide, critical, adult public, who are interested in all phases of school life. The Lantern staff this year has done an ex- cellent job of accomplishing their purpose. A well selected staff, under the able advisorship of Miss Elizabeth Harpst, Worked ceaselessly to inform and satisfy the readers. LANTERN So that the Lantern members can acquire new techniques, discover better methods of presentation, and criticize their Work as com- pared to that of others, an exchange system has been developed. Each week copies of the Lantern are purchased and mailed to sur- rounding schools. In return, they send their school papers to Blume High. This system has been very helpful and worthwhile. In addition to its writing, the Lantern has taken an important place among school organ- izations in many school enterprizes. A rec- ord dance after the Van Wert basketball game, a lovely dance in April, and a picnic in May, were their three outstanding social events. It would be useless to Write about the Blume High School Lantern without mentioning the Wapakoneta Daily News. Only through the interest and time of the Daily'sl' staff, can this school page be printed successfully. Since that historic day when the first Lant- ern rolled from the press, great strides have been taken in improving its contents and ap- pearance. Today, 20 years later, there is still a challenge to students for an even finer paper. Lantern has become an institution-it must not flicker, but continue to burn brightly.

They gain experience by intensive practice with the radio. Under the supervision of Mr. Beckwith these boys study the theory practice the mechanics and technicalities involved in the basic principles of radio. Above all they learn by doing. Old sets are reconstructed and new sets are made from old parts. After the war when new materials will be available and radio will offer a wide field of improvements you might have the opt portunity of converting a personal curiosity in things scientific into a real business. This is one of the clubs that supplement the regular routine of classroom work because the boys here assume a voluntary mem- bership realizing the fulfillment of personal desire. The enthusiasm the boys have shown for this kind of a club will insure its continuation in future years. There is room for all who are interested and willing to experiment.

However, the photography club has taken upon its shoulders the task of taking all the photographs for the RETROSPECT. Mr. Beckwith supervises the course and the students learn While they are taking, developing, and printing the pictures used in the annual. No apology is needed for the job they did despite the fact they were working under handicap of limited supplies and inferior materials. When their project is over the members are planning to eit- periment with different materials and all possible angles of phof tography. An engraving machine purchased by the office with an accumulation of profits from previous Retrospects is to be one of their obiects of experiment. Time for individual interests is too important a phase to be overlooked. liach youth should develop interests which lead to his own personal improvements. Many times, too, this personal interest leads to associations of friendship with those who pursue the same hobby, and this, in turn, even may lead to permanent life work. VVe seniors would be pleased to see more in the club. ROXV 1. ROYV 2. YVilbur Sehmaltz, Jane Ann Smith, Jocelyn Stoll, Imogene Slattery.

Its purpose is to unify the control of the social activities of Blume High School into one group and to make suggestions to organizations for better social activities. All presidents of all school organizations are members of the committee and a faculty member is appointed by the principal. All meetings this year were primarily for the acceptance of party and dance requisitions. No social event can take place until this committee has discussed and approved it. -ln this way, the year's events are all well planned and executed. So that each organization should have equal opportunity for dances and parties, a social calendar is made at the beginning of the year. Parties are limited to one every six weeks and each organization can sponsor one dance during the year. Since their purpose is partially to make suggestions for better social activities. after each one, the committees report the successes and fail- ures of the event so that future plans can be improved. All these help Blume High School enjoy a constructive and entertain- ing social program. Social development will surely be beneficial in fu- ture positions in life. I-lealthful recreation for youth is vital. Nothing has been more fascinating to students in school than movies which illustrate some of the lessons which just had to be read and dis- cussed previously. The movie projector and sound equipment require careful handling and this is one of the many jobs assigned to the boys of the so-called Mechanical Corp. Day after day these boys climb into the projection booth and focus the wonders of the world on the silver screen. Not only does this crew have charge of movie equipment but they are also responsible for the sound equipment which is used at assemblies, dances and in classes. Whenever there is any drama to be put on by our own ambitious mem- bers of forensic leaguesl' just call on the stage crew and everything will be ready. This year a new slide machine was in use along with the regular pro- jectors. The Mechanical Corp is a responsible group. This offers a new chal- lenge to the boys to keep machinery functioning. Things mechanical are in the modern trends and Blume High has a small portion of her share now. May we have more in the future to offer a new and different diversion of vocational work.

This organization devel- oped under the Distributive Education pro- gram Which had been followed by the state of Ohio for five years. The officers of this new club Were: president, Wilbur Schmaltz, vice-presidents, Lois Veit and Lois Binkley, secretary, Dorothy Werling, and treasurer, Imogene Slattery. The club had regular monthly meetings which afforded members both business discussions and social entertainment. They were very helpful in promoting school spirit. Members sold basketball and football season tickets, T shirts with the Redskin emblem printed on the front, and banners and ties of the school colors, red and white. Special mention must be given to this club for the cooperation it gave to the Retrospect. It was by its members, efforts that the ads for the Retrospect were sold. The staff desires to thank the group for this cooperation. In the Distributive Education class, instruct- ed by Mr. Tayor, the students studied the fund- amentals of retailing. To put these fundamen- tals into practice, each boy or girl had a posi- tion as a clerk in a store of the town's business district. An average of fifteen working hours a Week was required. Some worked during study hall priods, others after school and Sat- urdays. A grading system was established so the pupils could be judged by both employer and teacher. Several items included in this system were attitude toward job, quality of Work, ability to get along with others, stock- keeping, and accuracy. A very fine library in the D. E. room helped the students on points which were not clear to them. u Through their fine Work in this progressive class, the students learned to assume responsi- bility. Their studies aided them in selling with ease, accuracy, and with confidence. Not only students but the merchants bene- fited by this plan. The students were proud to say that they were helping the war effort by relieving men and women for war jobs. FUTURE RETAILERS OF OHIO HOVV 1.

With members of the student body, faculty, and Board of Education represented on it the group handles all matters dealing with athletics. This year's membership included Mr. Glenn Drum- mond, Superintendcntg Mr. I. L. Conrad, Prin- cipalg Mr. L. L. Taylor, Faculty Manager of Athletics, Mr. Paul Schofer, Coach, Mr. Sand- ers Idle, President of the Board of Education. The student representative selected by the School Council this year was Dick Bitters and the football captain was Rolly Gierhart. As regular meetings are not scheduled the organization meets at the call of the Faculty Manager. lt is the Principal's duty to preside at the meetings. All members have voting power except the captains who serve only dur- ing the respective basketball or football seas- ons. The Athletic Board has under its jurisdiction such projects as the purchasing of athletic equipment, setting admission prices to games, and arranging both basketball and football schedules. Also all payments from the Ath- letic Association treasury are appropriated by the board. These projects, along with unnumerable oth- ers, are discussed and dispensed with by the Athletic Board which, with continued coopyr- ation of all concerned, will never cease in im- portance.

To try to smooth over these bumps the seventh and eighth grade council was formed. From each of the five home rooms was one representative. Seven C elected Beverly Stoll. Lois Kantner was chosen by Seven B. From Seven A came Nancy Hartup. lean Mougey was delegated by eighth graders in room eleven and Iimmy Knoch by those in room nine. lean Mougey was president and Beverly Stoll acted as sec- retary. To help the boys and girls to experience democracy in action , Mr. Conrad and Miss Culleton advised the group. During the year the council acted as a lia4 son group between the Iunior and Senior High. Their work brought about a closer feeling between the lower and upper classmen, and made the Iunior High pupils feel that they really belonged. If their accomplishments are indicative of the abilities of the boys and girls they repre- sented, we Seniors may be assured that they will be able to uphold the democratic stand- ards of the Senior High as they advance from seventh and eighth grades.

The purpose of our band is to give the stu- dents musical training, learning not only to play an instrument but to cooperate with oth'- ers and to follow their maestro. One of their aims is to serve the school and this they have done Well this year. The seventy band members, dressed in their vivid uniforms of red and white, and led by Ianis Merkle, head held high and baton flash- ing, would march down the football field. All would become quiet. Everyone stood at at- tention for the flag raising ceremony. There is an air of reverence as the band softly played The Star Spangled Banner . The hushed spell lingers until the last strains have faded. Then with the signal the band whips into gay spirited martial music which would in turn give the fight spirit and sure victory to all of the fans. As soon as the football season ended the band sponsored a carnival. In the gaily dec- orated carnival tent, which you remember happened to be the high school, were Irish lassies, dolls of every description, follies girls, gypsy fortune tellers, hot dogs, and as the high- light of the evening the crowning of a carnival king and queen. The first of April, the band appeared with their maestro, F. E. Parks who lifted his baton to direct the members in their Spring Concert. The Finale of the New World Symphony by D'vorak was indeed inspirational. From the opening number to the close this music gave expression to all things that words can- DOI. These achievements together with their dance, banquet, and participation in one basketball game fulfilled one of their major aims-that of serving their school. So with the drum major's whistle, the roll of drums, banners streaming, and high step- ping feet, we leave to you, the underclassmen, this excellent organization, to carry on the fine tradition established in the past. Music Hath Charms Passing by the music room every Tuesday and Thursday you have heard all kinds of noise. One minute you would have heard the violins playing their a's together and at the same time the clarinets would be playing a run. Then in the next second other horns would join in. There's an old saying after the storm comes the calm . We say after tuning in orchestra come silence and then come strains of soft sweet music-music that hath charm. The clear sweet tones of the strings which included the violins, violas, cellos, and string bass blending with the sharper sounding brass instruments consisting of the clarinet, saxo- phone, trumpet, trombone, baritone, alto horns, and flutes and then add a few percus- sions such as the snare drum, tympani, anal piano and there you have our high school orchestra. The orchestra, under the direction of F. E. Parks rendered a beautiful music program at the Ir. and Sr. class plays, playing before the play and in between the acts. Some of the pieces they accomplished this year were Calif of Bagdad, Greig Suite, ln the Country Suite, and High School Cadetsn. To you underclassmen is the challenge to carry on the work of our orchestra so that your music hath charmn.

Altos, mezzo sopranos, and sopranos sang songs that made you dream, songs that inspired new hope and songs that filled your heart with eestacy and joy. Rolied in their gowns of red, white, and black, which added beauty and dignity to the group and accompanied hy Carol Kuhlman. Sha ll Be Music they sang at the St. Paul's church for Found- er's Day of the P. T. A. They sang two im- pressive numbers, The Green Cathedral and 'kNoW the Day is Over . Where ever these girls go after leaving high school we suggest that they cherish things musical and lend their voices to various choirs and choruses. L'There,s Music in the Airv Whenever the boys meet with their director we are all aware of this. The members sing as lustily as Mr. Parks permits them to do. Perhaps no other extra curricular activity will serve all boys, who have voices with sufficient singing quality to be members, more than this organization. Many members, we hope, will continue to sing in local church choirs. Above all the joy of singing together in harmony may relieve many hours that might be lonely in Armv camps or in Navy yards, for many of these members are boys who will soon be in the ser- vice of their country. This year the boys' favorite was MSailing . If there have been limitations in the programs that have been prepared for public appearance. we hope the joy of singing has in no way been minimized. This is just one more organization to which we seniors extend our challenge to make it better in the future.

The I944-45 record of I3 wins and 5 losses was one better than that of the previous year of IZ-5 which had then tied for the best record. The present two year standing of 25 wins against IU losses is some- thing for which both Coach Paul Schofer and the athletes themselves can be proud. In racking up the record that they did they were also able to acquire other honors that have never been bestowed upon Blume quin- tets in the past years. Perhaps the most not- able of these was the District Class A crown the Redskins captured in tournament play at Findlay by wins over Kenton, Lima South and Findlay, respectively. As a result of this suc- cess Blume was the district representative in TEAM the regional tourney at Bowling Green where they lost in the opener there to Toledo Ma- comber. By going undefeated in Western Buckeye League competition the Redskins also won the 1945 crown in that organization, the first such performance for them since 1936. By staying in the win column all during these contests Blume kept possession of the league traveling trophy and will now hold it until losing any league encounter. By virtue of a win over Sidney the Lafe Kuening trophy will remain with the Redskins another year. Two other handsome trophys were added permanently to the local trophy case, for the district champ- ionship and the league championship, respec- tively. The varsity squad was molded around sen- iors Ken Urich, Dick Bitters and Rollie Gier- hart and juniors Iohn Wehner, Doc Urich, Rich Cozad and Iohn Butcher. lt is plainly seen that the 1944-45 Blume basketball team left a record that should prove to be a goal for which all future teams will be striving to reach.

Dont Fver Grow Up , by Iames Reach. Mimi, on the threshold of sixteen, is charm- ing, naive. unsophisticated. She manages the Bulldogs, the local football team. and all her energies are bent toward aiding the team to its first victory in years over its rivals, the Panthers . Success seems about to crown her efforts, for the Bulldogs have secured for the big game the services of Hal Kenny, Third All- American half-back on his Spring vacation. Mimi is using her lawn to celebrate with a Victory Bazaarw on the night following the game, which is also the night of her birthday. But things are complicated somewhat when Mimi falls head-long into the first crush of her young life-on Hal Kenny. It seems the latter is being used as a foil by Elaine, Mimi's elder sister, to arouse the jealousy of Glenn Stevens, her wealthy young suitor. Mimi is willing to go to any lengths to prevent Hal from throwing himself away on the heartless Elaine. She makes a supreme sacrifice and Hal is saved from himself after being nearly DON'T EVER suffocated in a locked storeroom. Much more happens, and at the close Mimi discovers that being sixteen is indeed the something specialf she looked forward to all her life, and finds her true love is toward Dud her high school classmate. This play was also under the able direction of Miss Ada Hunt. Pat Kontner was the stud- ent director. Miss Flora McCurdy was in charge of the tickets and publicity.

Under adverse condif tions one is going to press this year for all who are interested in Blume. With no apol- ogy on the part of the editors, this year's hook takes its place in line with each successive year. In the making of a year hook lie many op- portunities for extra-curricular activities. Sen,- iors are given their chance to specialize in lit- erary production, photography, art, or husinesrs management-all of which must go together to make a successful annual. Co-operation is one of the most importam things to consider in such a husiness enterprise that really involves hundreds of dollars. We, the senior class, challenge you, the un- derclassmen, to carry on the publication of the RETROSPECT. YVe sincerely hope that with- in a few years some of the priorities and re- strictions, as we have had to cope with them., will he eliminated in a post-war world.
