No matter in what channel that life may run, whether literary, athletic, or social- in a true annual it is shown clearly as it is, with no polish- ed or dulling effects. Otherwise the representation would be false and hence would fall below the standard of a High School book. In this annual we have striven to present a true like- ness-or rather not to present a false one. Consequently you will not find this book stiff or formal, for High School life is far from being either of these. You will be un- able to liken it to a magazineg for we have not tried to publish a magazine. Neither will you find the 1915 Chief to be a newspaper, because we are not attempt- ing to rival a daily, But you will find this book to be a true reflection of the High School Faculty and Student body, the latter in the classes and student activities, and both, in the jokes and calendar. And now, as the mirror moves before your eyes, if you see something which displeases you, do not criticize the reiiector. But if you must criticize, criticize the object reflected.- DR.E.G.COLE President DR. W. Glhe Qnatxh nf Qiilumiinxt Clerk D. E. BARKDULL DR. J. I-'. OUTCALT THE FACULTY FIRST ROW-C. J. Biery, E. J.

SECOND ROW-Carrie Clifton, Catherine Costello, Jessie Wolcott, Helen Brigham, Florence Bayes, Gladys Bicknell mansenn Qliigh Szhnul gllzufultg T914-I5 A glance at the picture opposite reveals the fact that there is this year a much larger faculty mem- bership than ever before. This is because several new departments have been added to our high school and therefore several new teachers. The new departments are the County Normal School, Domestic Science and Domestic Arts and Manual Training. Besides the new faces in the new de- partments there are several new faces in old posi- Sons or old faces in new positions, as the case may e. To former students perhaps the most unnatur- al thing a visit to the school would reveal to them is the change in the superintendent's office. Our stalwart and reliable Mr. Biery has taken an up- ward step and is now Fulton County's superintend- ent. . To take the place vacated by him Mr. Alt- stetter was promoted from the High School prin- cipalship. The vacancy thus made was well filled by calling upon Mr. Holman to advance from the regular teaching ranks and placing him in charge of the High School. Now it was necessary to find a science instruc- tor. From a large number of applicants the Board selected Mr. Ivan Sechrist, a graduate of Otter- bein University 119141. In addition to the regu- lar work in science, Mr. Sechrist has had charge of all school athletics for the boys. Miss Catherine Costello, a Western Reserve graduate, was call- ed back after a two year absence to teach Math- ematics. She has also directed the High School orchestra during the year. Miss Jessie Wolcott COberlin and Columbial has continued to have charge of the German and part of the English work and also supervised some work in story tell- I ing and dramatics. The classes in Physical Geo- graphy and some of the English classes again re- cited to Miss Florence Bayes tOxfordJ. Miss Bayes also found time to organize a Girl's Camp- fire and coach several dramatic performances. A new instructor is found in charge of the Latin work, namely, Miss Gladys Bicknell of Western Reserve. The girls made use of Miss Bicknell's knowledge of folk dances and she was placed In charge of their athletic and gymnasium activities. It is needless to say that Mr. F. A. Tubbs fOberlinl is still supervisor of Music, but he comes to us on Tuesday instead of on Thursday as formerly. Miss Carrie Clifton, a recent graduate of Ohio State, was called upon to put in operat'on the new work in Domestic Science and Domestic Art. The boys in the new Manual Training and Industrial Arts department have been under the instruction of Mr. Chas. Snell, who graduated from the Western State Normal of Kalamazoo, Mich. 119145. The last member added to the teaching force was Miss Helen Brigham tOxfordl. She is the supervisor of the County Normal School. Mr. Biery and Mr. Altstetter also teach in the Normal department. Mr. Holman again had charge of the debating work in addition to his regular duties as Principal and instructor in History and Effective Speaking. It may be seen from the above that each one of the regular instructors was engaged in at least one line of activity for the fuller development of the boys and girls in addition to the regular teach- ing work. When we also consider that each in- structor acted as advisor to about tv.'ent3' as- signed pupils. it is evident that the faculty was well organized for effective work. THE ASSEMBLY ROOM x BRYAN HEISE College Preparatory 'tHeisy is the man of the hour. He is a leader, orator, athlete and criminal. In his Senior year he was elected president of his class and of the Athlet- ic Association and also Assistant Editor of the An- nual. He has been a leading member of the debating team for three years and represented the High School in the Bi-County Oratorical Contest in 1914 and in the Northwestern Ohio Oratorical Contest in 1915. He was a member of the track team for two years, played basketball three years. The team showed its appreciation of his playing by electing him captain. The W. H. S. will undoubtedly miss so great a man. Girls are a matter of supreme indifference to me. ROSELLA R. CREW College Preparatory Roxie is a merry, pleasant-faced girl who never- theless has a serious turn of mind. Both in her first and fourth years she was chosen to keep the records of her class. On account of her discriminat- ing taste she was appointed a member of the Senior Lecture Course Committee. Being endowed with dramatic ability, she became a member of the Dram- atic Society. With all these accomplishments she is also a good student, and is always ready to help others out of their difficulties. My future is fixed. CARL W. ORNDORFF Latin English If a class fusser were to be elected 0rny would undoubtedly get the position: for he has the ability to charm girls with the glance of his eye, and ind ed, everyone is always curious to know whom Orny will be rushing next. But aside from this quality he is a good dzbater, having been a mem- ber of the debating society for three years and of the debating team for two years. He certainly makes everyone open his eyes when he begins to speak. Its a hard job to stick to one girl. MARJ ORIE WHITEMAN Latin Marjorie showed her natural inclination early in her High School year by joining the Debating So- ciety when a Freshman. For her faithful work in the Society, she was rewarded in her Junior year by winning a place on the debating team. Again in her Senior year she did efficient work as a member of one of the debating teams. As a Senior she was a member of the Girls' Athletic Association and of the orchestra. The tongue is a mighty weapon. BRUCE M. WILLIAMS College Preparatory Billy toiled through a year and a half of High School life at Fredricksburg, and then fate happily decreed that he should remove to Wauseon. Here he mingled with kindred spirits and found life very congenial. He was elected vice-president of his class in his Junior year and also obtained a position on the debating team. In his Senior year he was further and more highly honored by being elected editor-in-chief of the Chief. But the duties of this position did not prevent him from again gaining a place on the debating team. Time is precious but I am accustomed to the use of precious things. LORLA E. STUEMPEL College Preparatory STucmp is the learned one of our class. She has dramatic ability and has been a faithful mum- bcr of the Girls' Athletic Association, being presi- dent in her fourth year. She has always been nn inspiration to her teachers, and her chief ambition has bien to get excellent every month. Not tall enough to bc above criticism. HOWARD McCLARREN College Preparatory Micky has been on the debating team for three years, and he is a good debator, too. When he gets up in rebuttal, people know that there is something doing: In spite of the fact that he used to be a little bashful he is a good business man. Naturally then, 'he was the only one to be Business Manager of the Chief and we fail to see how we could have published this annual without his help, for it has been very largely thru his efforts that it was made possible. He is possessed of a well-balanced judgment. HELEN McKIB-BEN College Preparatory Mac is one of the especially talented 'members of our class, being blessed with the quality of produc- ing harmonious melodies both vocal and instrumental. She has, at different times, been secretary and treas- urer of both the Girls' Athletic Association and her class. Also she has distinguished herself on the girls' basketball team. Men tremble at her glance. LEO POORMAN English Leo is one of those fellows with a good founda- tion, for he says that a nine shoe is pretty tight' for him. He has belonged to the Boys' Athletic Asso- ciation for four years, and he joined the Debating Society in his Senior year so he has been interested in the studious as well as the athletic side of High School life. Into the clouds it towers. EDITH H. LEININGER English She spent her Freshman year in Tedrow High School and came into our midst as a Sophomore. She immediately won our admiration by her quiet, reserved manner and became known to us as Shortie . During her Senior year she was a mem- ber of the Debating Society and did her part to make the meetings interesting. She hath a melodious voice. GLADE R. STUTESMAN English Stutz came to us armed with a diploma from Lyons High School and ready to take up the role of a Senior. During his brief year of association with us we found him to be an agreeable companion and a faithful student. Glades are always quiet. BLANCHE STACY English Shortie has been a loyal student of the Wauseon High School for four years. In her Sophomore year the class elected her to be its Secretary. and she has been a member of the Girls' Athletic Association during her entire High School life. She also became a member of the Dramatic Society in her Sem-wr year. Shortie is one of those brown-eyed girls who is always ready to laugh. She may have many faults but who could get along without her giggle? She thinks the world was made for fun and frolic. RALPH HOWARD College Preparatory Being one of those boys who can always be depend- ed upon. Ralph, in his Sophomore year was elected to the presidency, and in his Senior year he was tne only one to fill the place of athletic editor of the an- nual. He rarely goes to class without knowing any- thing at all about his lessons. Besides being a good student, he is a good athlete. He played, basketball and baseball in his Junior and Senior years. In his fourth year the baseball team took advantage of his managing ability and chose him to be the baseball manager. 0hl I wish I was a Freshman. FERN EVA DISBROW English Sis is characterized by a smiling countenance. Many a time she has driven sorrow fi-om'the hearts of others and frequently has broken the hearts of her adoring swains without discrimination. Her name appears on the roll of the Girls' Athletic As- sociation. Her ability has helped to make the Dra- matic Society successful, and her presence has grac- ed the meetings of the debating society. Because of her accomplishments she was an alternate member of the debating team in her senior year and was art manager of the Chief . Tender are the memories of the days of my youth. MARK PATTERSON English ' Pat spent the first three years of his High School life at Lyons, from which school he was duly graduated. Then tiring of the atmosphere of Ohio lc continued his studies at Morenci, Michigan, but fe.ling strongly the call of his native state, he very wisely decided to finish his fourth year at Wauseon. , Mark him well. LOIS HOFFMAN Latin German Lois is another who came to us in her Senior year. She spent the first two years of her High School life at Xenia, Ohio. Answering the call of a larger city she passed her Junior year and part of her Senior year in Hughes High School, Cincinnati. Tiring of the great city, she did a wise thing-L-he came to Wauseon. Here, she immediately became known thru her elocutionary powers. As a member of the dm bating team she ably did her part in winning from Bellefontaine. She is trustworthy in all things. WESLEY L. ACKERMAN College Preparatory Ack is talented in more ways than one. First, in his Junior year his class saw fit to elect him president and in his Senior year he was made assist- ant athletic editor of the annual. Ack also has ai musical turn so he tooted a cornet in the orchestra during his Senior year. But his specialty is athletics. As a leading member of the track team for three years, basket ball team for two years, and baseball team for two years, being captain in his Senior year, he has shown himself to be right in producing re- salts. I am surprised at my accomplishments. OLGA C. BIXLER Latin German Ilfler srending one year of her Hiprh School life in Swanton, Olga removed to Delta where she pursued l'cr studies for two years and then came to Wauseon. During her Senior year she was a member ol' the Dramatic Society, and of the Girls' Athletic Associa- tion. Hiddcn charms are as hidden treasures. ff . I I Ep.. I I I I I . I IZ' I. I. E: t I I I I 7 -Mal it ARTHUR J. YANEY Latin German A. J. is particularly fitted to run races, and he wins them., too. He has an especially stately walk, by which he is peculiarly characterized. He has belong- ed to the Debating Society for three years, but not until his Senior year did he overcome his bashful- ness to such an extent as to try out for the team. He, like a great many others, found that he really had ability if he only wished to use it. He also be- came the assistant to the Business Manager of the Chief, 'Self-Confidence begets Greatness. FERN BERRY Latin German Fern has been a member of our class for four ycars, and during that time has applied herself very industriously to her studies. Wishing to become a tcachcr, she took advantage of the opportunity for fitting herself for this position by joining the normal class in her Senior year. Ferns are a part of all bouquets. REO BURGOON English Reo is a most extraordinary boy. He is said to hzue brains. Although he came to us in his Senior year from Quincy, Michigan, very little time elapsed before his intelligence was recognized. He joined the Debating Society and was a member of the de- bating team. Not only has he a large amount of knowledge of all subjects but he also has a trade. If anyone wants a good job of printing done Reo is right there. ' Journalism is my chosen field. ROSEMARY BLAIR Latin Course Rosemary has been a member of our class during the entire four years. She has been a hard worker, and in her Senior year she was elected literary edi- tor of the Chief, She was a member of the Dram- atic Society and her ability was of great value to this organization. Silence and modesty are commendable anywhere. rneninx Qllzrss 71. isinrg Class Motto: Qua1e non Quantum Class Colors: Green and White Class Flower: Lily-of-the-Valley Class Yell: Razzle dazzle!

Of course, they followed in the footsteps of the bands before them and chose a leader, Ralph Bingham, to guide them through the dangers of the Freshman year. He proved to be a good leader, and the class managed to reach the Soph- omore year, in spite of the mistakes that green Freshmen make, and the consequent laughter of the upper classmen. Of course, they were pleased to leave the title of Freshman to the oncoming class, and enjoy the laughter that all classes enjoy. Yet they were loath to leave the joyous days for more sober ones, as more honors were placed upon them. The Sophomore year found the class somewhat smaller, but just as eager to do and dare. After the steady work of the Freshman year, they were ready to enter into the contests. They chose Ralph Howard to steer their course for that sec- ond year. He proved fully capable of piloting through all storms and gales that blew. Many of the pupils entered the debating society in order to prepare for the interscholastic debates. While they were thus training their minds, others were training their bodies for laurels upon the athletic field. Both boys and girls represented the class in the basketball teams. That class, moreover, had musical talent. They were represented by two or three in the orchestra. The class was a social factor also. They entertained the Fresh- men with a reception to take away the first stages of their fright on entering High School. They succeeded, too, and gave the Freshmen a mem- orable date for their calendar. Through work and play the class at length resigned its title as Sophomore to those very Freshmen to take up the more dignified title of Juniors. The year '14 found the class still smaller, but not diminished in courage. There was much work to be done, and many honors to be won, with Wesley Ackerman as president. The orchestra received its usual members. Many tried out for the debating teams. The Juniors were overjoyed when seven of its members made the teams and brought honors to the High School. Many of its members made the track team and won laurels on the athletic field. It became the pleasant yet sad duty of the Juniors to bid the Seniors fare- well. They gave them a banquet and dance to wish them God-speed, in return for which they received the name of Seniors. The last year found twenty-two faithful work- ers ready to work for final honors. This year they chose Bryan Heise as man of affairs. This year they again rejoiced because nine Seniors represented them on the debating teams and as many on the High School track team. The Seniors were now to enjoy the fruits of their labors. They were beautifully entertained by both Faculty and Juniors, which were never-to- be-forgotten events. Their last task was the playing of The Merchant of Venice. After four years of happy work and play the Seniors re- signed their last-won honors and title to the Class of '16.

Quninx Philnsnphg Jesse Rychener says, Paul Funk exploded a com- monly accepted theory that his head is flat when he said he couldn't stand on it in a ten acre field. Mary McClarren says, The fair faced Demos- thenes says he can talk on anything at any time. So can I. Nellie Evans says, I wonder what has become of the girl who always had a trade-last l C. D. B. says, Jimmy Frost, boys, designing dress- es for the Junior banquet isn't so worse, but I need a few ideas for a freshmen cartoon. Vera Coon savs, I wonder why it is that the in- destructable rubber collar always wears out before the Freshman becomes a J unior. Steinv says. Bryan Heise claims that the pu- pils are always in the wrong and teachers are right. Seems to me he got his speech twist- ed. Olive Schlatter says, The responsibilities of so- ciety are more than I can stand. I would rather engage in matrimonial activities. Pauline Allion says, I heard the other night that the little things are of most importance- Now what do you think of Paul Funk ? Clifford says, Better have the gum on the bot- tom of vour shoes than in your mouth, for the desks are slippery. Alice Knight says, If you can't get a Senior a Junior will do. Marie Barnes says, Playing cross puzzle is too strenuous exercise when you have to stand on the platform for an hour afterwards. Hammie says, There is a time and place for everything. For example-Freckles are bad for a peaches and cream complexion, but are an indication of genuineness on turkey eggs. Audry Reed says, Senior boys are all right, that is-some Senior boys. Helen Fink says, There are others. Paul Funk says, If you want to be popular, be loyal to your High School and wear a red and white tie. Harry Sweeny says, Of all the pleasures and vicissitudes of my strenuous basket ball career, I have yet to experience one more thrilling than those I experienced in the com- pany of some fair damsels of the neighbor- ing cities. Dorothy W. says, Beauty is the height of my ambition. Preach is a close second. Fannv L. says. People may say all thev nlease about a Ford, but if it wasn't for a Ford I wouldn't get so much fresh air in the morn- ing. Nellie B. savs, Of all the difficult places I have occupied being Irish cook! Joney says, Pauline Stone said the Seniors were nice, good and a lot of other stuff. Gee, glad I'm not a Senior, I'd hate to be a goody-goody boy and teacher's net. Pauline Stone says, Pureness and modesty be- comes all young ladies- Loose these and ye have lost the chief qualities of life. Margaret H. says. The pleasures of life are foo frivolous to be interrningled with the dfiilv duties of a busy Junior girl's high school life. J. A. P.

Our first year Harold held the throne, And played his game Without a bone , Our class not large, in fact, a want-ity, Yet had quality if not the quantity. When We came in with look so bold, Unlike most Freshies, Weren't sold, Instead, Were noted for our raids And Freshmen then could lick the grades. A year goes by and We are Sophs, The pride of all the High School Profs, Our men excel in every line, From Basketball to Baseball nine. Now Woman Suffrage rules the land, While Florence holds the upper hand g She deals with great, she deals with small Alike, she deals the same with all. Invincible, we find our fates Will sometimes turn to win debates, When we are 'gone I hate to guess What will become of the W- H. S. Our boys are there at every call, Our girls are fairest of them all, So We can say withvim' and zest, ' ' The Sophmore class is far the best. You never say our class is slow But rather one that makes things go, And leave behind a slate that's clean, Just give a cheer for '17, E. E. L.

Foundlings are little babies found That's very plain to any chump, But a stripling's not a little strip, And a dumpling's not a little dump. A kidlet is a little kid- That's seen by e'en the dullest nutg But a hamlet's not a little ham, And a cutlet's not a little cut. A princess is a lady prince But it is not held by any bloat That mistress is a female mat, Or a buttress is a nanny goat. Oh English, you are strangely made! You're not a tongue for chumps or foolsg I'll never master you, I'm afraid- You've more exception than you've rules. Dec. 3. Thursday-Todav We had a grand time.

One of the features of this new law has vitally affected the Wauseon High School and will be an important factor in the educational progress of Fulton county. The Ohio School Code of 1914 stipulates, among other pro- visions for progress, that County Normal Schools not to exceed three in any county may be es- tablished by the State Superintendent of Public Instruction as departments of First Grade High Schools. Under this law, thirty five county nor- mal schools have been established in the state, and the Wauseon High School was so fortunate as to secure one of these. The state pays one thousand dollars annually toward the expense of maintain- ing this school and requires in return a pledge from every student enrolled in this department to teach one year in Ohio after graduating from the County Normal. The faculty of this department is composed of Miss Helen Brigham, the Normal School Director, who is an alumna of the Wauseon High School and a graduate of the Ohio Normal College of Ox- ford, County Superintendent C. J. Biery, who is ex-officio the Superintendent of the Normal School, and according to law must teach not less than one hundred hours nor more than two hun- dred hours in this normal department, Superin- tendent M. L. Altstetter, who teaches history and geography to the embryo teachers, Miss Carrie Clifton, who initiates them into the mysteries of domestic science and household arts, and Charles J. Snell, who teaches the students how to make useful things for the farm and house in the manual training department. Besides these regu- lar instructors, the State University has sent us three extension teachers who have given very helpful courses of one week each: Professor Es- wine, in agriculture, and Miss Sharples and Miss Okey in domestic science and household arts. Twenty four students are enrolled in this de- partment, three of whom have been assigned to fill vacancies which have occurred in the schools since the holidays, Ethel Geer, who is teaching in York township, Lloyd Harmon, who has charge of the upper room in the Pettisville schools, and Rav Laver, who is filling a vacancy in the Delta eighth grade. Each of the other students has either substituted for a regular teacher or has done practice teaching. The County Normals in Ohio fill a want which could be relieved in no other wav: the want of normal trained teachers in the rural schools. Of the thirty thousand teachers in Ohio. ten thou- sand are rural teachers. About one Hfth of the teachers in Ohio leave the profession every year. Now the normal schools of the state graduate only a few hundred teachers annually and nearly all of these are employed by the cities and villages, so that it is rare to find a normal school graduate teaching a rural school. Now the county normal comes in to train teachers for these rural districts. In Fulton county the statistics show that about one fourth of the teachers each Vear are beginners without any experience. As there are ninety-six rural schools there will be a demand in Fulton county for just about the number of teachers as can be supplied by the county normal. WCDRKSHOP -I-..T,.

Ghiinxizrls ,Annual Quark Heretofore it has been a noticable fact that the members of the under classes have failed to take sufficient interest in the publication of the High School annual. To overcome this undesirable con- dition it was deemed expedient to have representa- tives of the under classes as members of the An- nual Board. And also, in order to secure their ad- vice and superior judgment it was decided to have two members of the faculty to act as an advisory board. Consequently, the membership of the edi- torial staff was greatly increased- But, with this increase in membership we secured the hearty co- operation of the whole student body and thus were able to obtain better results. And further- more, the experience, which they have acquired in this Work. will in the future enable the representa- tives of the under classes to raise still higher the standard of the High School publication. So we feel that a decided step has been made toward the future advancement of the Chief. The members of the staff with their respective positions are as follows: Editor-in-Chief, Bruce M. Williamsg Assistant Editor-in-Chief. Bryan Heiseg Business Manager, Howard McClarren3 Assistant Business Manager, Arthur J.

Perhaps it is not saying too much when we state that the most unappreciated of them all is that of School Board Member. It is very seldom that anyone comes to a member of a school board and thanks him for services render- ed the community at large or to one or more in- dividuals in particular. Much more often does he hear his efforts unfavorably criticised and con- demned and even the uprightness of his motives questioned- We all know that generally it was only after insistent demands on the part of many of the leading and best citizens of the community that these men even consented to become candi- dates. We all know too that it was the voice of the people-men and women-that elected them to this position of service and that the people vot- ed for them because they were regarded as honor- able and trustworthy men. These men give lib- erally of their time and energy. They carefully 'consider every interest and every proposition and act when they feel certain that the best interests of the community and particularly of the children are being advanced. Wauseon is fortunate indeed in that its school board members are men that are influenced only by the question, How can we best promote the highest welfare of our schools and of the boys and girls found therein ? One other question bothers them considerably and that is where to get the money with which to make the necessary improvements. Would the world be any happier and would the best interests of the community be better promoted if the services of the school board member were properly appreciat- ed and the public were properly expressive of his efforts in their behalf? E132 fart nf The 'fusinzss eww The interest which the business men of Wau- seon have shown in the publishing of the 1915 Chief cannot be too highly commended. By their generosity they have done much to help the editors make this publication a success. We ap- preciate the fact that more business men are re- presented in our advertising department than there have ever been before. We believe that we can safely recommend every one of them to the careful consideration of the readers of this vol- ume. They deserve your patronage and in turn you will receive more than most towns the size of Wauseon can offer. We cannot forget the Colleges which have given us an opportunity to serve them thru our advertis- ing department. They are all first class institu- tions in the various branches of education which they represent. Those intending to attend col- lege will make no mistake in choosing any one of these colleges of which Northwestern Ohio may well be proud. Gut Qbrrhesiw In the beginning of this school year the High School felt that it needed an Orchestra, and Miss Catherine Costello consented to fill the position of pianoist and leader. She has certainly been suc- cessful in her work, for when the Orchestra was first organized only two members had had any ex- perience in orchestra work. The members also are to be complimented for their fine work. The Orchestra has held its meetings every Wednesday evening. They have rendered their services for all the entertainments given in the Assembly Room since school opened, including- Lecture Course members, entertainments given by the various classes, plays given by the Drama- tic Society, and programs given by the public. The jrlwnl giiume Long, long ago, school houses were merely little brick buildings with very hard benches and an old stove in them. Today our school houses are fast becoming a second home to us, with all its com- forts and pleasures as well. The idea that the school house is merely a place in which to work, we are glad to say, is fast dying out and being up- lifted by the idea that it is also a place to play. And why not work while you work and play while you play? We wish that this could be done in the school house. We do not Wish the place to be us- ed for social functions in so much that it will de- tract from the work. We only wish to make the work more enjoyable, to form a closer friendship between teacher and pupil so that our memories of our school-days, will be more pleasant. We do not believe that social functions will lower the standard of our work at all but on the other hand that social function will be of a better kind from the very fact that they are held in the school house. This school has been gradually doing this sort of things. Our domestic science parties have brought us together in friendship and fun and made our work much brighter and easier. Our Senior banquet and Hallowe'en parties have as- sociated the pleasantest memories with this build- ing and made school life more pleasant. Play makes work easier. This is an idea, friends. Let it take form and grow in your minds and help us to make the school house more of a social center, and do all you can to help the boys and girls. fizhuul ahh glinmz-igixrinefs One of the greatest things that the public schools can do for the boys and girls of a com- munity is to createin them a spirit of work, by spirit of work we mean such a habit and power of concentration as will enable them to accomplish desired ends. I think most of our puplis have de- sires for the advantages of knowledge and train- ing but the will power to accomplish, to bring to reality, is lacking. Our public schools should be and are one of the most democratic of institutions, an institution where all have equal rights under equal condi- tions, but the conditions are very often unequal. the mental caliber is not the same and the spirit of work, the most powerful factor, is such a variable quantity that it tends constantly to make condi- tions unequal. There is another great principle that permeates all things, this is the principle of survival of the fittest. In the great fields of the natural world and in the history of humanity we find that this is true. There is no place where this is more true than in the public schools, thus supplying again a tendency toward inequality. These two great principles, the survival of the fittest and equal rights under equal conditions we do not want to get rid of g the work and success of our public schools depends upon them, but we do want to diminish, in the public schools the evils arising from their inequalities. These evils can be overcome by the working out of a later educa- tional idea, and that is the idea of fitting all for survivalg of every boy and girl being prepared to do something that is going to supply him and her with the necessities of life, and give them a place among the men and women of their communitv. The only possible way that this idea of fitting all for survival can be made effective is through the spirit of work. The boy or girl who will not get this spirit can not succeed under any conditions. It is to this spirit more than to unequal conditions that our successes and failures of the public schools are due. The pupil who has the spirit of work, no matter how poorly he is otherwise equip- ed is sure to succeed- This spirit of work will counteract the strongest and best of natural quali- ties, equalize otherwise unequal conditions, and often fit the otherwise unfit for survival. It is the getting of this spirit that the home should lend its help. When the home gives force and impetus to the idea that the child must work the success of the child in school and, for the most part in life, is generally secured. The educational value of our public schools, for most of the pupils, could be doubled by home co-operation of this sort. Whenthe public schools were first established, they were intended to supplement the education of the home, but now the tide is turned and the cry goes from the school to the home, give us your sup- port and your help and thus double the value of the public schools for your child. Some kind of a Home and School Association in which parents and school officers could talk over the needs of the school would increase the value of the school to every community. May there. in the near fu- ture, be such an association in Wauseon. The 5111115 gliaur The willingness with which some of the girls have offered to take and have taken upon them- selves the work of the Saturday afternoon story hour at the library shows that they are acquiring confidence in themselves and an unselfish helpful spirit. A number of the girls have done this work with great credit to themselves. This is a work so far reaching and beneficial both to the high school girls and to the children of the community that it is to be urged and hoped that its advantages may be taken by a larger number next year. l MANUAL TRAINING CLASS The jllemztal Training Ecpzxrimeni When the students of the W. H. S. returned to school last fall they found that the old gym- nasium was. no more, Already the apparatus had been removed and a wall had been con- structed through the middle of the room. The new rooms were for the two new departments which had been added to the course of study- Manual Training and Domestic Science. The task of transformation was carried on as rapidly as possible and soon the west room was ready for the first lesson in Manual Training. There were nineteen new benches, each equipped with planes, chisels, files, a mallet, hammer and all the rest of the tools which the carpenter must know how to use. The sight of those new benches and the pile of lumber ready for the saw and plane so attracted the boys of the High School that all who could possibly find the nec- essary time, decided to take Manual Training. It was arranged too, that the boys of the seventh andmeighth grades. . could. get their share of the use of the tools and benches. Both the High School and the Grade pupils were given the same things to do in the beginning of the course, but they did not remain together long as the High School students were able to pro- ceed more rapidly in the work. The grade course was of an elementary character and is to form the basis of more advanced work next year. After the mid-winter vacation it was an- nounced that the Manual Training class had bird houses for sale. Many of them have since appeared in the trees about town and it is hop- ed that they may all be tenanted. Besides bird houses, the class has made book-racks, tabourets and even small tables, which were constructed in a workmanlike manner and stained with wal- nut. We are well pleased with the first years work of Mr, Snell, the instructor, and he says that the class has made splendid progress. PHYSICS LABRATORY '. - - -- e DOMESTIC SCIENCE CLASS Eire Eamesii: jrienrz Qgzpzrrimmtt The Domestic Science department was es- tablished in the east half of the old gymnasium This department has an equipment which equals that of any high school in the state. There is ioom for a class of twenty to work at one time, and the department has all the necessary utensils for this number, even twenty gas stoves, so that each student can work independently. There is also a gas range included in the equipment and all the dishes necessary to serve one hundred and fifty persons. The department also teaches sew- ing and two sewing machines form part of the equipment. For the excellence of this equip- ment the school is indebted to the Class of 1914 who gave one hundred dollars for the benefit of the new department. The course was begun under the instruction of Miss Clifton with 95 girls enrolled 50 from the grades and 45 from the high school. In studying the principles of cooking, the pupils are shown how to buy and prepare food econ- omically, and in learning to sew. they make aprons and dresses for themselves and are taught to make use of the small pieces of cloth which are often thrown away. The Domestic Science students from the high school have formed into divisions and have been serving suppers once a week, each division having charge of a supper. The girls do the work connected with these suppers, min- der the supervision of Miss Clifton, and are thus putting to practical use what they have learn- ed in the course. The first of these supprs was given to the members of the Board of Educa- tion and their wives. The guests were well pleased with the work that the department has accomplished, Tickets were sold for the sup- pers that have since been served to help meet the expenses connected with them. The work accomplished in this first year has set a high standard for the department, and this is largelv due to Miss Clifton's thorough man- ner of teaching. CHEMISTRY LABRATORY Oct. Oct. Oct. Oct.

It was carefully contrived and plotted by a bunch of Sophomores. A few days before it happened, the Sophs lit the fuse by inviting the Freshmen. It was very im- portant that they should be invited, as they were the ones supposed to be received and entertained. The hour drew nigh and there was a motley crowd of Freshmen and Sophomores assembled. The majority was very Fresh, Also among those present there might be distinguished a small num- ber of Juniors and Seniors. These dignitaries seemed to think that no function could get along without them. Several inquisitive Freshmen at once proceeded to try to discover what the upper- classmen were doing there. Their efforts were handsomely rewarded by their being shoved over a board fence. There were several other oc- curences of minor importance. They played games until the wee small hours of the night rolled around, when all returned home and were tucked into their little beds. . gliallninekn lgztrtg Excitement prevailed in the High School when it was announced that there would be a Hallowe'en Party. Committees began at once to plan for dec- orations and entertainment. There were mys- terious gatherings all around between the class- es. Stunts was the answer. The Students assembled in a gay array of cos- tumes. There were ghosts and clowns, Spanish dancers, witches, colonial men and women and ne- groes. But listeng there was more! A lady in modern costume attracted the most attention of all. As she came tripping along, lads and lassies alike looked at her. Alas! It proved to be only a Senior boy dressed in girls clothes- He received the prize for being the best dressed. The stunts of the classes were well planned. The Freshmen entertained with a representation of the organizations of the High School. They re- presented the Freshmen as the children at schoolg the Sophomores as the Athleticsg the Juniors as lhe Social Society and the Seniors as the Studious crowd. The Sophomores gave a minstrel band and choir mth Pnem in which there was clever playing on rude instru- ments and funny singing. The Juniors gave a little play called Pyramus and Thisbef' The Seniors gave a funeral in which they buried The Hatchet a misunderstanding existing between Faculty and Seniors. All stunts were cleverly planned and were much appreciated bv the onlookers. Refresh- ments were served after which much fun follow- ed. All laid aside class distinction and mingled in the fun of an evening long to be remembered among the events of their youth. The hall was changed on Hallowe'en Into a land of mysteries, dreamsl' Half-forgotten forms were there, Lovely maidens, wonderous fair, Ghosts and Gypsies, witches strange, Indian maids, Colonial dames, Girls from everywhereg veiled and shy All in slow review passed by. Cherished friends we used to know In our tales of long ago- ynmesiiz jzienne dgxrpper fur jrlmnl fruarit On a certain Wednesday evening in the latter part of March the lights in the Domestic Science room were all aglow. The girls were giving a din- ner for the School Board and their wives. The guests were, Mr. and Mrs. Outcalt, Mr. and Mrs. Cole, Mr. and Mrs. Paxson, Mr. and Mrs. Barkdull, Mr. and Mrs. Maddox, Mr- and Mrs. Biery and Mr. and Mrs. Altstetter. The girls had worked carefully all afternoon un- der the direction of their instructor Miss Clifton, and no little excitement prevailed among them when the guests arrived. Everything was carried through successfully with the exception of one roll that twirled and rolled off the plate. The only fault the guests found was that they could not eat enough of the good things so the girls felt their efforts had pleased. The girls showed the guests the workings of their department after which they were pleasantly entertained by the Debators. The guests readilv expressed their de- sire that more such evenings should be had so next years class may have the same pleasure and we wish that they may enjoy it as much as we did this year. Senior dint fiibzxtk upprr In the latter part of November an urgent class meeting of the Seniors was called. The urgent busi- ness on hand was a party. Seniors are prone to take advantage of their last year before they leave the jollity of their High School life and give all the parties they can. It was decided that this one should be a pot luck supper in the girls new domes- tic science room. The girls all wore middy-blouses and their hair in braids with hair ribbons. Of course this made the under-classmen realize they were missing some fun. Only the two married teachers with their wives were invited. The supper was a grand success. Nothing was lacking and all kinds of good things were there. After supper they toasted marshmallows on the little gas burners. Alas! af- ter pleasure comes work and it fell to the task of some to do the dishes, sweep the fioor and wash the dish towels. But all worked readily to the ac- companiment of our teacher's entertaining tricks. They were later entertained by the famous or would-be-famous trio, Altstetter, Holman and Ackerman. The evening passed pleasantly and the Seniors added another pleasant date to their High School calendar. Eflr. mth Jfiirs. Qi. 05. Univ Qzntrrfniu Did you ever have the idea that a faculty din- ner would be very prim and stiff? One might say such a condition were probable but not possible in Wauseon- Dr. and Mrs. Cole surely realized that faculty are human enough to enjoy a mighty Mod time and like good things to eat, when they gave their faculty and board party on the night of March 10. The party was satisfying in more wavs than one. Every one was iolly and had a splendid time in spite of the fact that we were all dressed up in our best. The menu was par excellence and dinner partners were inutnallx' satisfactory. The Coles surely know how to en- tertain. like Quninx-VS mtinx ' mupvzi One of the longest to be remembered and most enjoy- able events of the High School year was the Junior- Senior banquet given by the class of '16 in the School Building Friday evening, April 30. About fifty people, including the members of the faculty, were present. The hall was' very artistically decorated with the dif- ferent class colors, the West entrance being draped with scarlet and gray streamers, representing the colors of lihe hosts, and the. south with green and white, the colors of the guests. Large vases of red and white carnations, to which were attached ribbons bearing the place cards, adorned the long table. The carefully planned and de- gram was Bruce Williams, who cleverly spoke of the subject uppermost in his mind- The Annual. Fern Disbrow, whom we all know as a Senior, made some good remarks upon the subject of High School Sor- rows. Another fair member, Pauline Stone, a. Junior, .addressed us, and then toasts were concluded by our Principal, Mr. Holman, who was introduced as the silver- tongued orator. He voiced one of the sentiments of all when he said that in these banquets there were no longer the faculty and the members of the classes, but a congenial assembly of people who would enjoy such a banquet every month. lightful dinner was served by the mothers of the Juniors. All having done justice to.the repast, the Toastmaster of the evening took charge of events. This gentleman was no less than the dignified Demosthines, known by his fellow students as the droll Mr. Funk. He first in- troduced us to our Superintendent, Mr. Altstetter, who gave good advice and words suited to his position. Fol- lowing him came Clarence Bowser of the Junior Class, a very able representative, then Bryan Heise, the Seniors' president, who pleasingly proposed a toast to the Faculty, after which we were favored with a solo sung by Helen Fink, a Junior. Next on the pro- The toasts being over, the guests were entertained by an amusing little game of wound string which had been so strung through the rooms that! the result was almost a labyrinth. On the end of each Senior string were found lines giving instructions as to what should be done by the winder. Many of these stunts were very funny, all were entertaining, and closed the services, with the exception of a flashlight taken a-sf a reminder of a pleasant evening. The last of such in the W. H.

Mr. Sechrist fbefore the Napoleon Basket Ball game- Now, all you basket ball players fill up on ice cream, pie and cake, so that you will be in fit condition. Most of the students bitterly bewail the fact that Mr. Altstetter has allowed them to play tennis on the school ground. The teachers were so sorry that the skating rink closed that they would have offered the manager a large sum if he had consented to stay longer. Mr. Holman- Now, pupils, why can't you all be good like Henry Gorsuch. He never raises a disturbance or en- gages in any mischief whatever. Miss Wolcott- If you are chewing gum, you don't need to stop. Just go on and have a good time, for there is no earthly use of studying. A. J.

A Q5ixl's 053111 llllmss Early in the fall a meeting of the High School girls was called for the purpose of re- organizing the Girls' Athletic Association. So great number of girls desired to join that two divisions of the class were necessary. Miss Bicknell had charge of the work and proved her- self a very efficient instructor. At the first meeting officers were elected: Lorla Stuempel, President and Helen McKibben, Secretary and Treasurer. A great interest was taken in the work by all the girls, and, strange to say, even some of the boys displayed the desire to visit the class or at least to be at the school house when the girls were dismissed. It is sincerely hoped by all the members of the class that the work may be continued next year Q Qi-Qnnnig drank jiileei On May 15, 1914, eight High Schools of Wil- liams and Fulton counties met at the Wauseon Athletic Park to participate in the Second Annual Bi-County Field Meet. The day was one of those ideals ones for which May is famous. The sun shone brightly and the field was in excellent condi- tion. Very little studying was done during the forenoon and at an early hour people were going Parkward in crowds, cars and automobiles. By the time for the opening of the meet the grand stand and the bleachers were full and people were crowding the ropes on all sides and still were com- ing. Enthusiastic yell-leaders were doing acro- batic stunts before their screeching supporters, and many collars were wilted. All this enthusias- tic support was not manifested for naught eitherg for all the schools were represented by first class teams. Fayette's pole-vaulters and short distance runner, Hibbard, were the sensations of the day. Brannan from Bryan starred in the mile. Mont- pelier won the hammer-throw and Whaley of Fayette took the shot put and broad jump. Clem- ent Standish took the only first for Wauseon, the high jump. And he certainly did jump. Fayette took the meet by a very large margin. They prov- ed that practice makes perfect. In the evening of the same day there was held an oratorical contest in connection with the Field Meet and there were more yells. Wauseon expect- ed to win this with Bryan Heise as her champion but we were sadly disappointed. Many people in and out of town seemed to think he had given the best oration but some one had to be disappoint- ed. Bryan's orator took this prize while Wauseon had to be content with second place. ,Aihleiirs 1914x1915 Athletics in the Wauseon High School have undergone a radical change within the last year. A year ago this winter we had a losing basket ball team and very small support. The management had to urge and plead with the people to get a large enough crowd out to pay expenses and re- duce outstanding debts. This year all we had to do was to say. We're going to have a game next Friday night, and the hall would be filled. You may ask why this was. It was because we had a winning team. Expenses never worried us as they have in past years. There have been unpaid bills against the Athletic Association dating from 1911 amounting to over EB30. This year we clear- ed about one hundred dollars, paid these bills and have seventy dollars in the bank. This is quite a change in financial standing in one season. Not only was the basket ball season a success financial- lv but in every other wav as well. Every game that the High School fellows played they played clean ball. In former years from one to three and four on the first team used tobacco. This year, out of about fifteen fellows on the squad only one or two used tobacco and they were in the sec- ond and scrub teams. Every fellow on the first and most on the second team followed strict train- ing rules and none of them missed more than six practices in three months and they did their work willingly, showing that they enjoyed it. The school has put out winning teams in other years, but this year's record shows what proper train- ing will do. One game in particular fthe Mont- pelier gamej was won through endurance alone and defeat was turned into victory in the last few minutes of play. And this was accomplished with a green team that was not expected to be even an ordinary team in ability. Last spring the track men did no training what- ever until about two weeks before the try-out for the Bi-County Field Meet. As a result we stood almost at the bottom of the ladder. Last fall, however, when we took part in the Triangular Field Meet the fellows were seen training weeks before the meet. As a result of this we lost the meet only because of the absence of a valuable member of the team. This spring the fellows have been training and running for more than a month and it is still about two weeks until the meet. The fellows are working hard- and they are going in to win the Bi-County Meet. Not much has been attempted in baseball this year. Last fall we played a few games but this spring we deemed it wise to put more time and attention on track work and no emphasis is placed on baseball. After the Bi-County Field Meet we expect to play a few games. You probably have been wondering what has caused this change in spirit. all this training and work. It is .simply this: We have now what we have lacked for three or four years-a coach. And we have one of the best coaches in Northwestern Ohio. Mr. Sechrist has had several years of High School and College training and experience in basket ball and baseball. Although he was not a track man himself he knows how to coach track work. To Mr. Sechrist we owe much that has taken place in the last year in the awakening of a new spirit in Athletics. Mr. Sechrist could not , however, have done this if it had not been for the support given him by the High School and citizens of Wauseon. The entire High School has been behind him and they have pushed. We take this opportunity of thank- ing the citizens of Wauseon for their loyal and enthusiastic support. We do not sav boastinglv when we say that we feel sure that Wauseon will become famous in Northwestern Ohio Athletics under the coaching of Mr. Sechrist. BASKET WML ,, 'J' -1-L-I-E' T 1 I I ' I!

The HighASchool was fortunate this year in having a good coach. Coach Sechrist, with several years of College Basketball experience, was the vfery man Wau- seon neededto develop a winning team. Also we were fortunate in having a good place to play. During the month of Dcember the Hall over the T. Kr I. Station was used for practice. After the Christmas vacationy the squad met in Saunders' Hall. This is one of the best basketball iioors in northwestern Ohio, outside of To- ledo, with only one draw-backg that there is scarcely enough room to accommodate the large crowds that attended the games. Anyone who has Watched the team at Work will testify that it was a strong and s-moothly working machine. The boys who started the season held together through- lout, with the exception of one, who withdrew on account of sickness. A great deal of credit for the success of the team is due to the fellows who turned out regularly and gave the First Team something to practice against. The fel- , Ralph Howard lows certainly deserve a great deal more credit than we can express, and we hope that they will feel that they have done something for the Old Red and White, even if thev were not on the floor in the games. The management also wishes to express its apprecia- tion of the enthusiastic support of pupils and towns- people. A team without good backing is rarely a win- ner. The excellent financial condition in which the association found itself at the close of the season was due, not to the efforts of any one in particular, but to little boosts that each one gave. The space here allowed is not sufficient for a long description of the games, so only a brief outline is given. Lineup: Left Forward-Bryan Heise, Captain. Right Forward-Ralph Howard.

Here- tofore it has been the Policy of the graduating class to use the Lecture Course as a money- making propositiong but this year the Seniors decided that they would use all the money at their disposal in procuring for the course the very best talent possible, and then depend upon home talent entertainments for the funds to meet their expenses. Acting with this idea in mind, the members of the present graduating class were able to secure some of the best at- tractions on the Lyceum platform. The course was opened October 7th by a musi- cal number, the Metropolitan Grand Quartet, which set a high standard. The program included a couple of solos in Italian bv the second tenor which were well received, and the evening's en- tertainment was closed by a scene from Faust The quartet won the admiration of our music- lovers, and accomplished the difficult task of entertaining all who heard them. On November 27th Victor Murdock was heard here Mr. Murdock was the Red Insurgent of the House of Representatives, and his story about dividing by 6 instead of 7, showing how the railroads had been overcharging the Government 555,000,000 for carrying the mails, illustrated for- cibly the value of little things. Mr. Murdock's lecture was one of the most popular of the course. The third number came on December 15th, when Noah Beilharz presented The Hoosier Schoolmasterf' He has great ability as an im- nersonator, and during the evening brought out his characters so clearly that the audience lived the story over again with him. His interpreta- tion of the character of Bud, the backwoods hov, deserves special praise. and Bud's moth- er's quaint philosophy, Clit a-plenty while you're gittin', will be remembered by all who heard it. In the art of entertaining Mr. Beilharz is a master, and, what is more, his hearers car- ried away with them many ideas which are of help to them in their everyday lives. The Apollo Concert Co. was here on the 23rd of January. Everyone remembers the Apollo- phone, which required five people to play it, and the banjo-player who played his instrument in every conceivable position, even while it was swinging through the air, but the real hit of the evening was the Saxaphone Quartet which played so beautifully the folk-songs and Tip- perary, The Apollos were very successful in their efforts to please. The last number, on March 4th, was Lincoln Wirt. the man with a message. His subject was, A Winter in Alaska, and in his pleasingly di- rect manner of talking, he told how he was given charge over a mining settlement, how the Win- ter held them imprisoned in their housesg how pestilence and famine came to them in the frozen village, how he, himself, traveled the 1200 miles to civilization for aid, how he crossed the trailless mountains in the middle of the Arctic Winter, with only his dogs and a guide for companions, how the steamship line was reached bv crossing thirty miles of stormy sea in a little Eskimo boat, how, at last, the aid was sent and the rejoicing that followed. The story was an inspiration to all. Mr. Wirt was a fitting close for the Lecture Course of 1914-15. Thus, the first part of the plan was a grand success, but the second part was no less success- ful. On the evening of February 15th the Seniors presented the Mock Court Trial, with well- known local people in the cast. The audience was one of the largest ever in the Assembly Room. and the two hours of fun were well worth the price of admission. The large ticket sale made up for the deficiency caused by the extra cost of the Lecture Course.

The so- ciety was open to those who desired to join, to those who thought themselves the possessors of any dramatic talent whatsoever, and to those who did not belong to any other High School organization, In fact, the last group was especially biddenito' join. Each member was supposed to appear once during the year before the criticizing eye of the student body or public. Miss Bayes, who had charge of 'the society started the work with a miscellaneous Thanksgiving program which was given on the Wednesday afternoon preceding Thanks- giving Day. The entire High School received the news with elation, whetheribecause of the extra holiday or the special numbers is unknown, but let us suppose the latter. After the success of this first attempt the en' thusiasm increased. The next program was given before the Christmas holidays. This was a comedy, entitled When Bess Goes to Europe. Tlile dramatic ability hitherto unknown of several of the students was brought to light in this play. The next effort of the Society was, The Sweet Girl Graduate. Because of the time and work spent upon this it was deemed worthy of an evening program and was given April 15. This was greeted with great applause and clamors for more such entertainments. Consequently, the Dramatic Society intends to give The Clever Doctor in the near future. We know before- hand that it will well be worth anybody's time to see it. The Dramatic Society is a good illustration of the fact that something can be accomplished if it is pushed enough. From a very small beginning the society has de- veloped into one of the most interesting and benficial organizations in time High School. We feel safe in pre- dieting even greater success for this society than has characterized it this year. mme Eiehzxiing One of the most interesting parts of school life has been this year's Debating Society. Each debate has been entertaining and instructive, and every meeting has been largely attended, not only by the students, but also by many town people. This year's roll of membership is much larger than that of previous years, and greater enthusiasm has characterized the meetings than ever be- fore. The society was not so largely a Juniors' and Seniors' as before, but several Freshmen and Sophomores took advantage of the opportunities which it offered. The season's work was opened by the organization of the Society about the fourth week of school, with Helen McKibben as President, Bruce Williams as Vice Presi- dent, and Mary McClarren as Secretary. In the first meetings several of the old debaters, Orndorf, Stein- brecker, Williams, H. McClarren, and M. McClarren, giinrieig appeared debating the question of the practicability of Bryan's Peace Treaties. Since then we have had eleven debates, in which we have discussed the subjects of Government Ownership of Railroads, the Beneficence of Strikes and Unions, the Monroe Doctrine and other topics of like importance. In nearly all of these meetings advice and criticism has been given by our Coach, Mr. Holman, to whom it can well be said the society owes a very large part of its success as an institution for the bettering and fur- thering of the art of High School debating. The individual work of the society was in reality fin- ished at the end of the firstsemester, since many of its members were occupied in working out the inter- scholastic debate for the spring. But the practical value of that half year's work cannot be too highly estimated. FIRST TEAI1 DEBATERS SECOND TEAI1 DEBATERS v Q 1 1 4 .

Keener interest has been shown in debating, a greater number of people have taken part, we have had more teams and better work has been done than ever before. Not only was Wauseon this year a member of the North West- ern Ohio Debating League, of which Tiffin and Bowling Green were the other two members, but also helped organize a league with Bellefontaine and Fostoria. As scheduled, our first debate of the season was to take place April 2nd, between the Bowling Green Negative and Wauseon Affirmative teams. Owing to some mistake a Bowling Green Affirm- ative team was sent to Wauseon. Accordingly, the Wauseon Negative team, composed of the old reliable debaters, Marjorie Whiteman, Howard McClarren, and Bryan Heise, came forth to save our High School reputation. The question de- bated was: Resolved, That the Primary System of nomi- nating candidates is the best plan. A good audience heard this, perhaps the most enthusiastic of all the debates. The team, al- though not intending to debate until a few days later, made a creditable showing. In fact, so well was the argument brought forth, that Wauseon received three decisions. The following Monday evening Carl Orndorf, Bruce Williams, and Mary McClarren, who com- prised the Affirmative team, debated in Tiffin. Quoting from the Tiffin Daily Advertiser: Many and varied were the arguments brought forth by the Affirmative team of Wauseon in the debate with the Negative team of Tiffin High School. But, though delivered in a style that should have been convincing, they failed to convince the judges. The three judges voted for the Negative team, and thus awarded the debate to the orators of this city. That the young people from Wauseon fully expected to win was evident, and that they surpassed our boys in eloquence and delivery is also an- other fact. Many in the audience were in favor of Wauseon victory because of this . eloquence. Wauseon's activities in the second league were displayed April 9th. The question debated was: Resolved, That the United States should sub- sidize her Merchant Marine. We were championed on our own floor by Lois Hoffman, Anna Hodges, and Arthur Yaney, who upheld the Negative of this topic, while the oppo- sition was maintained by able representatives of the Bellefontaine High School. Although our people were inexperienced debaters, such was their ability that they were able to convince the judges to decide in favor Qf Wauseon. The same night our Affirmative team on that subject, composed of Howard Ham, Paul Funk, and Lorenz Steinbrecker, debated in Fostoria. There Wauseon met a worthy opponent, and the debate was justly given to Fostoria, this being our last debate. Although, in the matter of decisions, Wauseon did no better than any of the other towns of the league, yet we feel that it is altogether worth while and satisfactory to put 'wth the greatest effort possible along this line for the glory of the Red and White. MARY R. MCCLARREN. 9 O 9 9 The iginxihmzsiexu 0911111 Qbxerinxxml Qlnniesi The Northwestern Ohio Oratorical Contest was held at Vermillion, Ohio, Friday evening, May 7, and for the first time in several years Wauseon was represented. Bryan Heise, our represe-ntative, chose as the subject of his oration, Humanitarianism, the Criterion of Civilization, and he handled it ably. The oration in full is found fol- lowing this article. Bryan has had considerable experi- ence as a speaker, and the school was confident of his ability to win the contest. So, when the news was received that Bryan had brought back the silver medal, our only surprise was that he had not been given the gold one. In fact, one of the judges, who is Professor of Oratory in Oberlin College, gave him first on delivery, while the other two gave him first on thought and com- position. The final summing up of points, the speaker given first place had 12 pointsg our speaker received second, with 14 pointsg and the speaker ranking third had 15 points. The fourth in the list received 32 points, and the rest ranged from that to 50 points. Thus the first three were decidedly in a class by themselves, and we point with pride to the fact that Bryan Heise ranked' in that class. While in the final counting of points our orator lost first place, yet we can still be proud that our representative was given first place by every judge in the department in which he was most capable of judging. Altho we did not quite gain first place, it was clearly shown that Waiiseon is in the class of winners, and Wauseon High School is looking- forward to next year's contest with high hopes of winning the gold medal at that time. TLI112 Quftnunig Qbxarinxxrarl Qlnxdesi The Bi-County Oratorical Contest was held in the Wau- seon High School assembly room on Friday evening, May 14. This contest is in conjunction with the Bi-County Track Meet which was held this year. Eight high schools of the two counties were represented at the Track Meet and six of the eight had contestants for the oratorical honors. The schools were interested more than usual this year, for this is the firt time that the contest has counted as an event in the Field Day exercises. This year, points were given for places in the oratorical contest the same as in the athletic events and these were counted toward winning the silver cup. The assembly room was crowded with people, most of whom were students representing the various schools. Mary McClarren, the speaker representing Wauseon High School, chose for her subject, The Legacy of Orpheus. The oration follows this article. The subject was well chosen and the oration showed a careful prepara- tion, While her delivery was masterly and exceptionally well finished. The crowd of listners was silent with intense interest while she was speaking, and when the contest was finished all agreed with the judges in giving her first place. Miss McClarren is a junior and will be eligible for the Northwestern Ohio contest next year. Wauseon High School has made quite an enviable record this Spring. First place in the Bi-County contest and second place in the Northwestern Ohio contest means much to any high school. This school has been noted for some time in the field of debating and oratory, anc this year Wauseon lived up: to her reputationby setting the standard just a little higher than ever! beforek D B Qtlw 71 egetzg nf Qbxpheus If present day educational tendencies have a slogan it must be the word, practical. Be it far from us to be- little the Value and necessity of practical things, but be it even farther from us to say that the practical is the highest good. Ideals are more necessary and have a great- er value and, so we believe it well to cease for a time our rude handling of idealistic tendencies and to listen to a voice that is known of all men, For there is scarcely a human being, be he crude or cultured, who is so dull, so unapproachable, so lacking in sentiment, that he cannot be moved by music. By it We are lifted from the toilsome- ness and drudgery of every day life into the realms of joiful contentment and communion with the things that are beautiful. Music is one of the few means by which we are able to scale that higher world of intelligence-a world which seems to enfold and envelop us but which we, in turn. are unable to fully comprehend and express. The scope of music is boundless embracing poetry, nature, love, religion, in short, all that is beautiful and good. It is not alone in the sweet perfume of the rose. in the soft splendor of the rainbow, or in the song of chirping bird but there is never a blade or a leaf, too mean, to be some happy crea- ture's palace -happy. because there is music even in the lowliest of creatures. Then, since all nature is full of music it is only reason- able to suppose that music has a practical value. All over the world music breaks the monotony of toil and provides a fresh and c'ean mental an nhysical hold amid the gen- eral sordidness of life. Victrolas cheer the sick and wound- ed soldiers in the field hospitals, songs in the school fill a cloudy and gloomy day with vigor and life, the old familiar church hymns comfort those that mourn and strengthen the faith of the discouraged. Even in the prisons where uncontrollable criminals are confined, music has many times been able to perform wonders. This idea was illustrated in a prison of Sherbourne, Massachusetts, where a few months rehearsal and finally the rendition of the opera Pirates of Penzance filled the morose and un- manageable inmates with a new life and hopefulness. Uncle Sam has also found a practical value for music for he knows that thirty per cent, more coal is placed in the bunkers of his war vessels while the bands are playing lively. cheery music than when the sailors work unaccom- anied. p Along with the practical benefits of music there is also an aesthetic value, that appeals to the higher sensibiliies of mankind which causes us to be freed from the binding fetters of a workaday existence and allows us to wander for a time in the Elysian fields of our fancies, where happi- ness is supreme. You have all experienced this when list- ening to an excellent rendition of the Sextette from Lucia or any other acts from El Travatore or Mendelsohn's Spring Song or Beethoven's Moonlight Sonata. The reason that music strikes a sympathetic chord in our natures is be- cause it expresses in the most beautiful form whatever we would have it. For instance, Beethoven's Scene of the Brooklet in which we hear the cool, rippling waters as easi- ly as though we could' touch them. In Mendelsohn's He- brides Islands We hear the grand, slow, rising and falling of the ocean's surges as distinctly as ifthey enfolded u': in their midst. Even though the cradle lullaby be sung in the hours of the morning yet it will suggest to us sleep and the drowsy shades of evening. Along with the practical benefits of music and in addi- tion to the fact that its appeal to our aesthetic sense lifts us into the realms of all that is beautiful, music also has an inspirational value. Today, when hordes of men have left their congenial homes, only to encounter misery, de- struction, desolation, and the wounds of battle, what is it which causes the long march to be shortened, which nerves the fainting spirit, and makes friends and comrades of the enemies of the trenches? Tipperary gives an answer. The blue and grey veterans of our own land will say that endurance to them would have been impossible had they not been able to hear the cherry notes of the nfe and to feel that the drummer boy was in his place. To us when does the call of our country sound the loud- estg when does our eagel shriek its greatest defianceg when do those white stars upon the blue field, the strips of red and white seem dearest to us? I say to you that at no time have we a greater regard for our Hag and country, at no time would we be more willing to give even our life's blood in their defense than when we hear, My Country, 'tis of Thee' Sweet Land of Liberty, or The Star Spangled Banner, Long May it Wave O'er the Land of the Free and the Home of' the Brave. How highly we prize those airs: there is nothing you and I could not do in defense of them. They are a part of our very Americanism. They are a living part of our very existence. Finally, I would make an appeal to you that we would not only have a great and lasting regard for this art, but also show our appreciation by encouraging the study of music and consecrating ourselves to a truer devotion of it. Let us cherish it, not alone because of its effectual material nicl but because of its uplifting, inspiring power. Let us keen in faithful trust and growing strength the legacy of that ancient God which makes better our lives and fills us with love for our native land. 71 umzmitztxinism, at Qixiiexinn nf Qiihilizariinn No theme embodying a human-interest factor can be new. However only thru its repeated contemplation does it come to have a fuller and firmer hold upon humanity and thus help in the shaping of the destinies not only of individuals but nations as well. And so tonight in answer- ing Cain's question which has come down to us thru the ages, Am I my brother's keeper? the intention is not to disclose some new fact, but only to consider briefly the progress which the world has made along the lines of the only and the true test of advancing civilization-Humam itaiianism. Am I my brother's keeper? Can you imagine an af- firmative answer from the oppressive Egyptian, when you remember that thousands and tens of thousands of human lives were sacrificed under the taskmaster's lash to erect monuments to his own selfishness and personal glory? Would the selfish and luxury-loving Athenian, cultured tho he seemed to be, lend a helping hand to his Spartan or Thcban neighbor, of whom he was bitterly jealous? Can we see any improvement in the cruel Roman, as We ob- serve the fiendish delight with which he turns down his thumbs, signalling his willingness for the fallen Gladiator to receive the death thrust, or again when he jeeringly gives the Christian to be torn to pieces by the wild beasts, or covers him with pitch and burns him at night to illumin- ate the public garden? Centuries later We might ask the same question of Louis XIV of France that extravag- ant but much imitated monarch of the seventeenth century. But again we know that he also would disclaim any re- sponsibility for his people when we recall that it was a very common thing to see men, women and children, dead and dying along the roadside and in the fields, starved to satisfy his desire for lust. Do the years of religious strife from 1500 1650 reveal any evidence of a humanitarian spirit in the Catholic, the Lutheran, the Calvanist, or the Anglican? Need we recall to mind the burnings of Chris- tian martyrs by Bloody Mary, the bigoted Puritan who cut off the ears and hands and burned out the tongues of hon- est men and women of another creed, the horrors of a St. Bartholomew's Day, or tales of living bodies being torn asunder by order of a Spanish Inquisition? The:e conditions are typically illustrative of the past. Moreover at the present time we do not find the Prisoner of Chillon in his filthy and gloomy underground dungeon, nor do we read of the creditor exacting his pound of flesh, we search in vain for Lord George and Jailor Dennis lead- ing a mob to destroy the property and lives of people of another creed, Uncle Tom is not now sold under the hammer to the brutal Legree, and Squeers has ceased trying to lash knowledge into the head of a poorly nour- ished child. Present day Humlanitarianism exhibits dif- ferent tendencies. The destitute school child is provided with food and clothing, 'iomes and hospitals are provided for the poor, the aged, the feeble minded, the deaf, the insane, the sick, the war veteran, the injured and needy of every condition. ' To day we jealously guard the public health and gladly expend millions of dollars to prevent Yellow Fever, Ma- 71 umzxniizrxinism, at Gxiiexinn nf Ttihilizzriinn CConcludedJ laria, Small Pox and all contagious and infectious diseases Every Christmas season contributes millions of dollars to combat the White Plague. Our laws forbid and punish the adw-Iteration of foods. Our schools have medical in- spection and instruct the youth how to prevent disease and to promote health. The mosquito and ily are outlawed. Cleanliness must replace filth even in the remote corners. The Humanitarian spirit has also demanded laws that forbid the employment of women and children under improper con- ditions, and that limit the labor hours per day or week. It has equipped railway trains and all kinds of machinery witl. safety appliances and made public buildings fire proof and provided them with fire escapes. Factories and tenement houses must provide an abundance of fresh air and sunlight and sweat shops are now a relic of barbar- ism. Unquestionably the humanitarian spirit is bringing capital and labor into the hands of fraternalism, Today our purpose is to reform the criminal and not to wreak vengance upon him, and with this idea in mind we have carried on our prison reform movement. Also our reformatories and industrial schools are for the pur- pose of making useful citizens out of the wayward boys and girls under their jurisdiction. Our present day charity and philanthropy is unlimited. We have Red Cross Societies in order to decrease human suffering. The whole nation composed the committee which sent relief to the San Francisco earthquake suffer- ers. The victims of the New York Shirt waist factory fire were aided by neighbors from the four corners of the earth. The more fortunate citizens of Ohio and other states gave abundantly from their means to relieve the cry of distress coming from Dayton, Hamilton, Columbus, Deliance and other flood-ridden cities. We shared our food with the starving of the Orient in several great famines. And finally we have cheerfully rendered abundant aid to the helpless victims of the was ravaged countries, particularly Belgium,-people whom we have never seen but whom our humanitarianism includes because they are in distress. But though we see and feel the influence of the spirit of humanitarianism in everything about us, there are still other Helds which, though they have been invaded, have not as yet been conquered. The most cruel, the most de- structive, the most bloody enemy of brotherly love has not as yet been subdued by this great fraternalistic move- ment. The god of war still rages, leaving death and de- struction in his wake, He will be stopped in his trrible march only when he stands face to face with this great humanitarianism spent and beholds the power of fraternal- ism and christian brotherhood. When this force completely rules the earth, as it is sure to do, then truly may nations beat their spears into pruning hooks and their swords into plow shares. Then will the battle flag be furled and mortal strife and jealousy will have ceased to exist. Then will man meet man as brother, no matter of what race or station. Then indeed will the teachings of Christ rule the hearts and minds of men and our love of humanity will prompt each one of us to say, I am my brother's keeper. 5-11: 1: HIGH SCHOOL ORCHESTRA. 'Az 7., l': Glue gluninr QIUIBIIHIUHIBHI In early Fall, when our kind superintendent appointed me counselor of the Junior class, I had no dream of the pleasure that awaited me in that association. In helping them with the Junior Entertainment-an innovation this year, a try out to see if something else might not be found that would be as delightful to the Juniors and as pleas- ing to just as many people as the former Junior Hop-I found approvable qualities in the Junior class that had not been so clearly brought to light in the regular routine of daily work. Here was a volunteer work which no one shirked when the hard pull, of making the thing go, came. There was no one who was unwilling to do his part, were he fortunate enough to have a prominent or a less promi- nent part in the exercises. The girls who did the dialogue work of Eine Tasse Kaifee did it with a good will and thoroughness that characterizes all their other work. Those pupils who presented the Albany Depot scene, laid self entirely aside and worked to one purpose, that of repre- senting the character and situation' which they wished their audience to see. I hope this idea of the Junior giv- ing an annual entertainment may grow more popular and that it may be made an even greater success next year. gxlmx While the main idea of many school programs is enter- tainment, there is one that comes each year whose main idea is not entertainment but instruction. The ninth of April brought such an occasion to us this year. The work- ing out of the Arbor Day program was confined to the Sophomore class. These pupils have had very little drill 32 in rhetorical work and showed timidity in their efforts, but the work gave instruction on some phases of bird and tree values, and also was a reminder of conditions of pro- tection and culture demanded by the state law. Some of these pupils are commended for their efforts and others for their good recitations, readings and compositions. xarmaiizzztiim In the Freshman B work the story of Silas Marner has been used for some dramatic work. The primary object of this work has been not to make a theatrical display, but to interpret a masterpiece of literature. Those who appeared in the various scenes did so, not because they had brilliant powers to exhibit, but because they were will- ing to use the right, which is due them from the school, of a chance to try. QLh1e inxg 4 nur The Story Hour Committee have been very much pleas- ed with the help they have received this year from the following girls: Rozella Crew, Mary McClarren, Christine Outcalt, Rosemary Blair, Norma Whiteman, Audrey Reed, Dorothy Waldron, Pauline Stone and Olive Schlatter. The work of these girls in the Story Hour at the library, has been well done and worthy of a rhetorical credit. Qs gfmirh 5512111 A party of swallows were perched on the telegraph wires beside the highway leading to Orchard Grove Farm. They were resting after a breakfast of insects which they had caught on wing, after the custom of their family. As it was only the first of May, they had plenty of time before nest-building, and so were having a little neigh- borly chat. If you had glanced at these birds carelessly you might have thought them all of the same kind, but they were not. The smallest was the Bank Swallow, a sober-hued little fellow, with a short sharp-pointed tail, his black feathers looking like a dusty brown cloak fastened in front by a neck-band between his light throat and breast. Next to him perched the Barn Swallow, a bit larger, with a tail like an open pair of scissors and his face and throat a beautiful fluffy buff. There were so many tints of color on his steel-blue back and wings, as he spread them in the sun. that it seemed as if in some of his flights, he must have collided with a great soap bubble which left its hues upon him' as it burst. This Barn Swallow was very much worried about something, and talked so fast to his- friend, the Tree Swallow, that his words seemed like twitters and giggles. The Tree Swallow wore a greenish-black cloak, and spotless white vest. He was trying to be polite and listen to the Barn Swallow as well as to the Purple Martin, the biggest swallow of them all, who was a little further along the wire: but as they both spoke at once he found it a difficult matter. We shall be turned out I know, complained the Barn Swallow, and after we have as good as owned the Orchard Farm these three years, it is too bad. Those meddlesome house pieopie have put two new pieces of glass in the hayloft window, and how shall I ever get in to build my nest? They may leave the window open, said the Tree Swallow, soothingly, for he had a cheerful disposition. I- have noticed that hayloft windows are usually left open in. warm weather. Yes, they may leave it open, and then shut .it some day after I have gone in snapped Barney, darting off the perch to catch a fly, and grasp- ing the wire so violently on his return, that the other birds fluttered and almost lost their footing. What is all this trouble about? asked the Martin in his soft rich voice. I live ten miles further up country, and only pass here twice a year, so that I do not know the latest news. Why must you leave the farm? It seems like a very charming place for Bird People. I see a little box under the barn eaves that would make me a fine home. It is a delightlul place for us, replied the Barn Swallow, but now the House People who own the farm are coming back to live here themselvs, and every thing is topsy-turvy. They should have asked us if we were willing to have them come, Bird People are of a much older race than House People anywayg it says so in their books, for I heard Bob the lame boy, reading about it one day when he was sitting by the river. All the other birds laughed merrily at this, and the Martin said Don't be greeflv brother Barneyg those peo- ple are quite welcome to their barns and horses, if they will onlv let us build in their trees. Bird People own the whole sky and some of our race dive in the sea and swim in the rivers where no House People can follow us. You may say what you please, chattered poor un- happy Barney, everything is awry. The Wren always built behind the window-blinds, and now these blinds are Hung wide open. The Song Sparrow nested in the long grass under the lilac bushes, and now it is all cut short: and they have' trimmed away the nice mossy branches in the orchard where hundreds of our brothers built. Besides the Bluebird made his nest in a hole in the top of the old gate-post, and what have they done but put up a new gate-pfost with no hole in it! Dear! Dear! think of it, think of it! sang the Blue- bird softly, taking his place with the others on the wire. At that moment a Chimney Swift joined the group. This Swift, who nests in Chimneys, is the sooty-colored bird' that Hies and feeds on wincz' like a swallow, and when he is in 'the air looks like a big spruce cone with wings He was followed by a Catbird, who had been in a honey suckle by one of the farm house windows, and had peeped inside out of curosity. Both. were excited and evidntly bubbling over with news. which half the birds of the orchard were following to hear. CA Fira jfffehr iConcludedJ f I know allkabout it cried the Swift, settling himself or a long ta . I've seen the House People! screamed the Catbird. They wish well to the Bird Peop-le, and we shall bc happier than before! squeaked the Swift, breathless and eager. Listen! and the birds all huddled together. This morning when I flew down the chimney Wondering if I would dare build my nest there again, I heard a poise can the outside, so I dropped as far as I could and istene . A voice said, Mammy Bun, we will have that chimney left for the birdsg do not make a ire here intil after they have nested, I was so surprised I nearly fell into the grate. ' And I, interrupt-ed the Catbird, was looking in the window and saw the man who spoke to Mammy Bun too. She is a very big person, wide like a Wood-chuck, and has a dark face like the House People down in the warm country where I spend my Winters. There are children on the farm, I've seen them too, cried the Phoebe, who usually lived under the eaves of thel cow-shed, Three of them, one big girl, one little gir, and a boy! I told you so! lisped the Barn Swallow and a chorus of Ahs and Ihs arose that sounded like a strange message buzzing along the wire. The boy has a pocket full of pebbles and a shooter, gasped the Phoebe, then paused as if nothing more schock- ing could be said. Yes, but the girl coaxed the shooter away from him, said the chimney Swift, who was quite provoked because his story had been interruptedg She said, Cousin Nat, father won't let you shoot birds here or do anything to frighten them away, for he loves them and has spent half his life watching them and learning their ways, and they have grown so fearless hereabouts that they are like friends. 'fBut Cousin Nat said, 'Do let me shoot some, cousin Olive. I don't see why uncle likes them. What good are they anyway. They only sit in the street and squak all day. You say that because you have always lived in the city, and the only birds you have watched are the English Sparrows, who really are disagreeable. Then the gril said, Why brother you always loved our Canary! Yes he was different, he is nice and yellow and he knows something and sings, too, like everything, he isn't like these common tree birds. Common tree birds indeed! shrieked the Catbird. Then our brother the Baltimore Oriole began to sing in the sugar maple over the shed. The sun was shining on his gay coat, the little girl pointed to him and whisper- ed, 'Hush, you see Olive is right, please empty the stones from your pocket'. The Chimney Swift had hardly Hnished his story when their was another excitement. News, more news, called the Bank Swallow joyfully. He had been taking a skim over the meadows and or- chard. These people keep a dog, he twittered with glee, Yes, two dogs. One big, fluffy buff, with a much finer tail than any fox you ever saw, and the other small and white with some dark spots, and as quick as a squirrel. This one has a hort tail that sticks up like a wrens, and a nose like a weasel, one ear stands up and the other hangs down, and he has a terrible wink in one eye. Even a poor little Bank Swallow knows that where one of these dogs lives the Bird People need fear neither cats nor rats. I love dogs! said' the black and white downy Wood- pecker, running up a telegraph pole in search of grubs. Dogs have bones to eat, and I like to pick bones especial- ly in winter. Me too, chimed the Nuthatch, who walked chiefly head down, and wears a fashionable white vest and black neck- tie, with a gray coat, and sometimes they leave bits of fat about. Yes dogs are ver yfriendly indeed. Then a joyful murmer ran along the wires, and Farmer Jones, who was driving past, said to himself, Powerful lot of lectricity on todayg should think them ere Swalloys would get shocked and kilt. But it was only the birds whispering together, agreeing to go back to their old haunts on Orchard Farm and give the house children ai t 'ce to learn that there is no such thing as a Common Bird.

There were eight High Schools of Williams and Fulton counties represented. This was the third year for the meet, and the people of the two counties were more interested in the sports than ever before. The Athletic Park was crowded, and the specta- tors witnessed what proved to be the best meet that has ever been held. The prize offered to the winning school is a large silver cup, well worth the effort necessary to gain possession of it.

Twice has Fayette had the cup, and another vic- tory would have given them the ownership. They came this year with the determination of again being the winners, but the rest were not in the least discouraged, and were no less determined to carry off the honors, so the contest was an ex- citing one from the start.
