Sermons in stones, and good in everything.” —SHAKESPEARE. In the shadow of financial depression, and under the threat of the collapse of an effective means of education. Waverly High School opened its doors to three hundred and twenty-five pupils on September eighth, nineteen hundred and thirty-three. Facing a shortened year, the school administration adopted new policies, reduced the curriculum. and increased the burden per teacher in order that pupils might suffer the disadvantages of reduced school income as little as possible. Mr. Teichert. promoted to Supervisory Principal Superintendency o the schools, has served the chcol interests most effectively. Three new teachers. Mr. McCOnnaug-hey, Mrs. Hoeckh, and Mr. Shrader, and the remaining teachers on the staff have effected the usual standard o achievement. Although the curriculum has been materially reduced. the administration has maintained an adequate course of instruction in collge-preparatory requirements and in business training. Flective courses in music, art and sewing have been of ered on a limited scale. Efforts have been made to preserve school activities and traditions commensurate with the standards of other years. The services of the library have been extended through a loan of one hundred and fi ty books from the State Library, through a gift of a set of Encyclopedia from the Sophomore Hy-Lytes Sta f. and through eight complimentary magazine subscriptions. The publication cf a year book on a limited scale was undertaken by the sophomore class under the advisorship of the seniors, the school newspaper has been published as an English and typing project. Interesting and varied assembly programs were due to the resourceful direction of Miss Buell. Class dramatics, directed by Miss Schauseil and Miss Vallery, reached their usual high standard of production. Athletic teams, football and basketball, enjoyed a success ul season of achievement under the e fective coaching of Mr. Harris. Music organizations have justified an appreciative response of the community. A patrotic organization o: junior high pupils, The Blue Eagle,” directed by Miss Hoeckh, completes the variety of activities sponsored by the school. Supplementing the activities provided by the local school unit the federal government has introduced and supported several projects to provide employment. A nursery school conducted by Miss Lucy Caldwell, and Mrs. Grace Jackson, supervised by Mrs. Zula Murphy, and a course in design, painting and sculpture under direction of Mr. Richard Teichert, have provided needed and pleasurable activity. A sewing group, a repair and decorating group, and a forestry group have served the material interests of the school and community. Anticipating the scholastic contests on March 30th, students and teachers are expecting to acquit themselves in a manner comparable with the standard of other years when better -acilities were available and the length of the school term was adequate. To the pupils who have rallied to discouraging prospects, to the teachers who have accepted and executed additional burdens in this financial crisis, to the Board of Education, which has maintained the integrity of the school system, and to the sympathetic response of the community in efforts to secure a high standard o education. respectful recognition is given. —SARAH HUTT. 6 THE CLASS of 1934 riCh RD OCCflING JOHANNA SAMtON C ROOIN9QN WENDELL WEISS HAULINL 0LCA5ON oonalo anocrson MALCOLM OnOw.N MELCN DOLL ELO SE OILEV WILMA A HBAUGH Donald CDWaro wi« eht L MUPPHV Classes DONALD ANDERSON Study is the art of all wisdom.

We have welcomed, cordially, those who have entered our class during the preceding nitne years. The greatest number whom we have received have been from the rural districts and joined our class in the eighth and ninth year. During our freshman year, the total enrollment was eighty-six; furthermore, it was the largest class in the Waverly high school. This year, the total number is fifty eight. Both for the enlargement ot the library and for the use of the school students, the sophomores have purchased a set of encyclopedia from the proceeds of our first edition of the Hy-Lytes. The sophomores, also, have to their credit the winning of the girls interclass basketball tournament. Three sophomore girls, Virginia Jones, Faye Rader and Juanita Haynes, were on the Varsity basket ball team. Several Sophomore boys, Wesley Brubaker and Leroy Heible, were on the football squad and others were on the basketball team. The class is well represented in the band and glee club. In scholarship the class ranked very high. The grade teachers were as follows: First—Miss Smith, Second— Miss Crawford, Third—Miss Arm-bruster, Fourth—Miss Andre. Fifth —Mrs. Gehres, Sixth—Miss Hoeckh Seventh—Mr. Roberts. Eighth — Miss Buell, Miss Keechle and Mr. Roberts. 12 Classes President-----------William Vallery Vice President______Harry Vallery Treasurer ------------------ Rodger Junk Class Colors-------Scarlet and Grey ROLL Laverna Kern Lucien Arnett Rexie Kroth Ulah Arnett Betty Lambert Byrdie Bennett Charles Lillich Carlos Bland Frences Mater Bonadine Bonner Clay McDonald Dorothy Brown Helen Nichols Henry Brubaker Dorothy Noel Wesley Brubaker Ruth Osborne Clarence Cooper Lecna Patterson Martha Cotton Faye Rader Edith Crabtree Helen Rapp Walter Deacon Robert Rcbinson Dale Dixon Erma Rose Maude Douglas Amazetta Rutherford Marjorie Dunkle Mary Belle Sines Flora Emory Viola Snyder Edward Fairchild Orville Tackett Rowena Fisher Sherman Trainer Mary French Harry Vallery Harold Frey William Vallery Esther Fulscher James Vest Virginia Gibson Virginia Vulgamore Ruth Hartley Ruth Walker Juanita Haynes Winona Weinrich Leroy Heibel George Whaley Ruth Johnston Kenneth Williams Virginia Jones Richard Wills Rrdger Junk Wanda Lee Yeager —BYRDIE BENNETT.

Our first grade teacher was Miss Anna E. Smith. We all liked her very much. We remember distinctly how she used to play the organ, and we would sing. The first day she left the door open and we were not a-fraid, but the second day she closed it. We all wondered why she did it and what was going to happen. Jimmie Logan was most frightened of all, but he, like the rest of us, soon became accustomed to it and we were very happy the remainder of ;he year. He had just returned from France, so frequently entertained us with talks about his trip. SECOND GRADE In the second grade we had a very nice teacher, Miss Emma Crawford. She taught us to make many interesting things wivh our hands, such as straw frames for pictures and rugs that we wove on looms made of card board. LOOKING BACK TO THIRD GRADE. Our teacher in the third grade was Miss Helen Armbruster. We delighted in arranging our sand tables in her room. On Valentine Day we made heart men. Every day we had health inspection. Each row was inspected and we had charts that we marked when we scored points in health. BEGINNING OUR DRAMATIC ABILITY Our fourth year of school had now come. We were taking up new text books in geography, and were making maps. Miss Dorothy Andre was our teacher. We spent much of our spare time giving programs. This was rather an unforvunate year for us on the playground. Quite a few pupils were injured. WE BECOME NOMADS During our fifth year we moved three times. The new high school building near us had just been completed and changes were being made. When the 7th and 8th Grades moved, it left us in possession of almost the entire upstairs to ourselves. So we moved and kept moving until we found a room that suited us. Miss Ella Humphrey was our veacher. We had many good times with Christmas and Mother’s Day Programs. At the close of the year we gave a radio reproduction of Amos an’ Andy. WE CHANGE BUILDINGS In the sixth grade we moved into a new building next door and had a new teacher, Mrs. Louise Hoeckh. ’Twas in this year that we organized the club—“Sons and Daughters of the Republic”—and gave many interesting programs. We made many booklets for our geography and our history classes. We also had our first art class with Miss Sarah Hutt as our teacher. JUNIOR HIGH SCHOOL Our promotion to Junior High was a departure from any we had ever experiencd, for we were to have an entirely new type of schedules with many different teachers. All of this we approached with something of the spirit of adventure. There were sixty nine of us. twenty one of whom had started together in the first grade. The rest had joined us along the way 14 CLASSES as vhe schools became centralized, and were we proud in the beautiful new junior-senior high school building with six different teachers—Miss Keechle in history, geography, spelling and writing, Mr. Roberts in arithmetic, Miss Buell in English, Miss Katzenberger in science, Mr. Harris in manual traiing, Miss Vallery in home economics and Mr. Rose in music. It was here that we had our first class organization in which we a-dopted white and blue as our colors, and the blue forget-me-not as our flower. Our motto was: “Forward Ever, Backwad Never!” The officers were: President__________ James Logan Vice President_____Weldon Way Secretary____________Or land Ross Treasurer____________Ruth Cutler Our promotion into eighth grade brought us to the last round-up of grade work with the same teacher1. excepting Miss Keechle, who had resigned and was succeeded by Mrs. Hoeckh. We are inclined io feel that our work this year has been the heaviest of any we have had thus far. but. with clubs, music athletics, chapel programs and Valentine boxes, we have had a haopy year. Just as “The Waverly Novel” goes to press, we are in the throes of reviewing for the s ate exam-ina ion. the result of which, we Irust, will produce sixty-six full fledged Freshmen.

Organizations Dramatics SENIOR CLASS PLAY The Senior class selected for their play this year “Skidding,” a comedy in 3 acts by Truania Riv-erol. “Skidding” is a vivid picture of an American family, showing Marion Hardy, a college girl who falls in love with Wayne Trenton just as a career is opening up to hc,r. Then there are the two pretty young daughters who choose to marry before ihey finish their education and want to “come home to Mother,” at the first trouble. Mother Hardy is so upset at the modern tendencies of her daughters, that she goes on a strike in order to straighten out her family- Young Andy Hardy is an adorable lad, with his first “case.” He keeps the audience in a gale of merriment. Grandpa Hardy touches the he,art with his absent mindedness and his reminiscences about Grandma; and Ihe white satin slippers he make,'-, for Marion to be married in have a great deal to do with straightening out her love affair.

Sophomore , Junior and Senior Classes, under the advisement of the English teachers. The paper was issued monthly allowing each class two months issuq. Those sponsoring the High Lights were: Miss Buell, Miss Hutt, Miss Schauseil and Miss Vallery. This arrangement proved very successful, both as a business enterprise as well as an educa.ional project. By changing the organization in this way every issue held a distinct variety which it would not have had otherwise. Much credit is due Mr. McCon-naughey and his typing class for their s p 1 e n did work in thq typing and printing- Without their patience and willingness w.th the paper, our efforts would have been useless. The, Waverly High Lights has seen another prosperous year. May it live to grow older and better. —VIRGINIA JONES- LIBRARY During the school term the library has been improved greatly. One hundred and fifty books were borrowed from the State Library. They included history, geography, science, arts and fiction. The file cards have been completed so that there are now an author, classified an’d title card for each book in the library. M ss Dorothy Dougherty donated a set of Compton’s Pic ure Encyclopedia. Another set was ob-ta.ned by a three year’s subscription to the Literary Digest. There are nine librarians this year instead of eight. They consist of Virginia Vulgamore, Evelyn Way, Virginia Jones, Johanna Samson, Betty McClean, Helen Doll, Betty Stahler and Laverna Kern. Dorothy Scott is an assistant Librarian. Miss Sara Hutt is the Supervisor. Others who have helped with the library work are: Opal Reed, Donald Seasor, Carl Murphy, Marjorie Landrum, Gene Ware and Pearl Durham. —DESSIE HATFIELD JUNIOR-SENIOR BANQUET The traditional Junior-Senior banquet was held at Moore’s Platinum Grill on April 20th.

This society is composed of clubs organized and functioning under the auspices of the Daughters of the American Revolution. Each club chooses its own name, and the members elect their own officers. At least two meetings a month are io be held during the club year. The response to roll call is to be a quotation or story appropriate to ihe time when the meeting is held. The American’s Creed, Flag Ritual, Salute to the Flag, and Prayer are given av each meeting. After the reading and adoption of the minutes of the previous meeting, ;he members are given an opportunity to discuss Current Events, and to make plans for their next assembly. The local I). A. R. Society presented each club with a flag, and each member with an official badge of Sons and Daughters of the Republic, while each President received the special badge pertaining to his office. Manuals of the Constitution of ;he United States were also donated, and whenever time permit, ed, the members read these manuals. On October 12th, 19.33, Mrs. Walter Scott, Regent of the local D. A. R. Society met with the pupils of the Seventh and Eigh.h Grades. In her pleasing manner, she explained he purpose and bylaws of such clubs to each class, and, having organized a club for each grade, installed into office the members elected. The Seven.h Grade chose as its name, The Admiral Byrd Club and had 48 Charter members. The following elected officers were installed by Mrs. Scott: President------------Robert Ban- Vice President_______Audrey Kuhn Color Bearer---------Fred Hatfield Robert Trainer Color Guards_________Jean Reiser Bonadine Hammond John Scott The Eighth Grade was organized as the James Emmitt Club, with 70 Charter members. Mrs. Scott installed the following officers: President_____________ Ellis Davis Vice President_______John Burling Color Bearer_________Orland Ross Donald Whaley Color Guards__________________Ruth Culer Mary Chloe Hamilton Weldon Way mm m WE’RE TELLING YOU SCHOOL or'ginally mean! ‘leisure’ and later widened to include “the employment of leisure.” CURRICULUM originally meant “circular race-course.” TEACH comes from an old root, “to accuse ” STUDY meant ‘to be eager.’ TEST was originally an ‘earthen pot for trying thq purity of metals.’ George Washington first used test as a verb; thus be became the father of an important and painful part of education. PENS were mado from feathers and kept the La in r.ame for quill. PENCIL was ‘a little tail’ because it was a sort of brust with hairs on the end. (Couriesy of Jennings Hammer, Scholastic). 22 FEATURES SENIOR CLASS HISTORY SENIOR CLASS PROPHECY In September, 1930, 34 enthusiastic pupils entered .he halls of Waverly high school to establ.sh a name tor tnemselves. Shortly after he mid-teim vve were pleased to move to the new school building. The outstanding accompl.shments during the year was .he production ci me play, “Six Who Pass While The Lentils Boil.” The year, 1931, found that we hau m ved onward to he sophomore class. This was filled with moie and greater achievements than the preceding one. The class was well represented on the Honor Ro l Ihe Class B Championship foo ball team, girls’ and boys’ bas-1 etball sounds, glee club, Hy-Lytec S r.ff, Scholastic Contest and the ba d. In 1932, we were known to .he rest of Ihe school as juniors. Our nterest in activities arc! our s.ud-ies became more intense. This year we elected our class officers- Edward Wipert was chosen as presi-d iTi; W lliam Shrader, vice president; Opal Reed, secretary and Howard Ross, treasurer. On April fourth the class successfully presented the nlav: “L Pays to Advertise” under the direction of Miss Hut.. April seventh this class spon-s rod he Junior-Senior Banquet, which was held at Chillicothe. The.i came 1933, the year in which we became seniors. We have 1-oVrd forward to this year with high hopes. We realize that we h-vo almost reached the goal for which we have been striving for 12 l g vears. Although we have attained this de=ire, wr regretfully leave dear Waverly high school, and shall always cherish fond memories of our youth in this institution. Yesterday, while I sat in my room listening to the patrer of a slow, steady rain, my thoughts turned .o my classmates- The rain soon lulled me into a deep sleep, durl'.g which I journyed here and there, hearing about and meeting the members of the Class of 1934. Marjorie Landrum, who was now in the real es.ate business, making a fortune from selling lots on the new lake front, picked me up in her Cad llac and took me as far as Chillicothe. As we stepped from he car we met our honorable president Ed Wipert, now supervisor of the Kindergarten school .here. (He had achieved a good start in his senior year at Waverly High.) That evening, I took a bus to Cincir na i to see the Follies of 1940. I was del ghted to find that Robert Pollard was the manager of the Albee Theatre- I also discovered hat Quinnie Curry, Pauline Gleason and Alice Lightle were on the program. Pauline and Alice appeared in one of the choruses and Quinrie in a special vaudeville performance. Stopp'rg over at the Netherlands Pla.za, I found Charles Leffler at he desk- He said he frequently saw Eva Robinson, who was governess for the Mayor’s little girl. My next stop was at Chicago. I walked to Helen Doll’s Beauty Salon which was bady in need of repairs- With the aid of Dessie Hatfield hqr petite Michigan Avenue shop was bringing in good dividends. I tcok a stream line to Los Angeles. At Omaha two pompous looking men boarded the car- To nr' amazement, I recogir.zed Malcolm Brown and Forrest Eas.er- 23 FEATURES day, now big butter and egg men, with oil as a side interest. They left me ai Salt Lake Ctiy without offering any explanation of their stopping there. In Los Angeles, I encountered Wendell Weiss, who said he had won a walking marathon across the Comment- He was undecided as to whether he wanted to enter the return bike contest or to bask on the sands of sunny California. In Hollywood, I found Margery Pollard and Charles Heibel. Margery was one of the leading cor.-touriers, Charles had become a rising young architect and was now on the verge of fame, as his new movie colony was nearing completion. At Malibu Beach, I found Mearl Oyer vigorously enjoying a surf -ide, while John Bartram, one of the life guards there, was looking after her safety. Being recalled to Waverly to be one of the bridesmaids of Byrdie Bauer, I hopped a plane piloted by Dick Landis. Dick had become a distinguished aviator, but at odd moments he could be seen lazily occupying the same old bench at the Cottage—which place had remained unchanged. Marge Landrum greeted me as I landed at Port Waverly to congratulate me on my wise investment on Lake Shore Front. I had become a woman of fortune, and immediately I began preparations for going to the lands of my dreams, Italy. Once again I found myself sailing through the air on my way to New York to buy new clothes and to set sail in a few days. At the BT more, I discovered that their famous head chef was our Eugene Rose, one time famous Waverly high school grid star. In the hotel pharmacy I found William Shrader fulfilling his predestined occupation. He insisted that. I should visit New York’s most unique museum, managed by Charles Doll and assisted by his capable collector, Charles Brown- They requested me to visit the NBC studio before leaving. There I found Howard Ross bioadcasting with his world famous orchestra. Donald Seasor was featured as solo trombonist and crooner. Carl Murphy was the advertising manager of Ross’ orchestra, Dick Deering was the announcer. 1 picked up a paper and read in the headlines that Johanna Samson was to give a piano concert at the Metropolitan Opera House that evening. After her performance we mei and exchanged news about our former classmates. She had just received a letter from Dorothy Scott, who was now secretary to Senator H. C. Helman, who had been replaced in Waverly high school by Hattie Thompson- Johanna also told me that I would find Opal Reed in Paris, where she was hostess in a night club famous for its American clientele, and that Eloise Diley had become an interpreter in the Bank of London. As I started on mv cruise the next mornimr. I met Donald Anderson and Wilma (Ashbaugh) Anderson on their honeymoon. Doris Brown, who had become a famou-globe trotter, was also on the boat However, mv biggest surprise came when I arrived in Venice. Here I saw Hugh Smith and Pauline Williams, who now were hap- (Ccncluded on Page 30) 24 FEATURES CLASS WILL Wo, the Class of 1934, realizing that our happy days of school life of Waverly high must end, do hereby on the 27th day of April, in the year of our Lord 1934, make the following bequeaths: To the Juniors we bequeath our privileges as Seniors- To ,he Sophomores we bequeath our hearty thanks for their kind cooperation in the publication of the 1934 annual.

(Concluded cn Page 32) North Entrance Athletics COACH HARRIS Much of the success of the athletic teams is due to the effective coaching of Mr- Harris. Himself a former professionel player with the Portsmouth Spartans, he is adequately and pecularily qualified to instruct in both the theory and practice of competitive games. His athletic prowess, his scholastic at-tainmems, and his moral integrity make him a desirable leader of the young people. E. D- HARRIS FOOTBALL The fooiball season of 1933-1934 proved to be successful if not sensational- While the team w’as not an undefeated one, it is to be recalled that the schedule of games was ambitious and difficult. Two class A teams were encountered during the season, results of which were not discouraging nor disgraceful. The team as a whole was characterized by bulldog tenacity which enabled them to carry on in adversity. Deprived of four of its stars when facing an extremely difficult schedule, the squad kept its morale. Withstanding misfortune which would have wrecked a lesser club, it emerged with a fairly successful season’s record. The loss to next year’s football squad of the class of 1934 will be sorely felt- Ten of this season’s squad who will graduate from scholas ic activities have graduated through four seasons of hard drill and rough experience, furnishing scrub material for teams who have r'sen to greater glory. May this spirit characterize these individuals in future years and qualify the football teams yet to be developed. FOOTBALL TEAM, INDIVIDUALS EDWARD WI PERT—End— Ed is a senior and was elected honorary captain of the team. Altkouah he is light in weight he was the outstanding p’.ayer of the year.

Three county games were lost during the season: Piketon. Beaver and Scioto township. The season's schedule was a long and difficult one. Games were scheduled or two nights each week. Several Big Six teams, including Sciotoville and Oak Hill were encountered, and the results of the games were favorable to Waverly. Credit is due to the e forts of the team, both collectively and individually, and to the capable coaching of Mr. Harris. REED: Opal is one of the best players in the county .She plays a good defensive game, ana makes her forward think that the basket has a lid on it. Opal is a senior this year. BAUER: Byrdie is noted for her close guarding. She will be missed next year since this is tier last year. DOUGLAS: Chilistine is knrwn for her long shots; she has plenty of speed and has one more year in which to prove her ability. RADER: Faye is a Sophomore. She is excellent in passing. She will be available for two mere years. CRABTREE Fdith plays center. Her ability to get the tip o f is an advantage to the team. JONES: ‘Fute's playing was remarkable for evading her guard. There are two more years ahead of her. HAYNES: Juanita is fast on the floor and is always rpen or a shot. She is a sophomore. DOUGLAS: Maude failed to win her letter this year, but promises gord material fer her next two year's experience. HATFIELD: Deesie's patience and endurance bespeaks an unselfish spirit. Failure to earn her letter after :our years of practice indicates her dogged determination and her devotion to Waverly high. Her service letter's a symbol of unrequited effort. Dessie graduates this year. RUTHERFORD: Amazetta was unable to be in line-up for any of the games but she was of material aid in furnishing scrub material for others. BLAIR: Romaine was out long enough to ind herself as good material for her remaining 3 years. WEINRICH: Winona reported at all practices, although she was seen in few games. FRENCH: Mary was scheduled for class room work for the regular basketball period. This handicap prevented her from appearing in games. RAPP: Helen will be available for two more years in which to develop into a good player. Mi m BOY’S BASKETBALL The basketball team has fulfilled a fairly succesful season, although they suffered the loss of three varsity men because of ineligibility. The team showed a fighting spirit all through the season. Under the capable d’rection of “Dud” Harris, who has proved hinvelf one of the br t coaches in Southern Ohio, the team has developed swiftly. The squad con-s’sted of boys ranging from freshmen to sen'ors. As they will lose only ore boy through graduation this year, prospects are bright for next season- The fine showing of the team Athletics was due greatly to the, excellent zone defense. Over-eagerness on offense, caused fumbling of the ball, and failure to benefit in scoring opportunities. The team showed flashes of ability which promise much for next ye,ar. m m INDIVIDUALS SCHAUSEIL: “Red” is a scrappy player and has been captain of several games. He is a clever ball-har.dler. “R ,d” is only a junior and will be back with us next year. WEISS: “Weissy” is an excellent shot. Weiss graduates this year and his place will k,ave a vacancy hard to fill. OYER: Orville is perhaps the most dependable player on the squad. He plays good ball and we will see him again next year. DILEY: Dile.v is remembered for his stubborn defensive ability. He will be back with us again next season. KEECHLE: Beryl was famous for his recovering the ball. This is his first year playing, so we expect much in his remaining years. FREY: “Rob” was another good shot on the team. This is his first year, also, so we shall expect much from him next year. BRUBAKER: “Wes” was famous for his dribbling. He is only a sophomore and has two more years in which to show his ability- ARMSTRONG: “Dowles” was fastest man on the squad. He was an excellent ball player and had plenty of fieht. Hr will be able to show his ability again next year. —BILLY VALLERY. BASKETBALL SCHEDULE Dec. 8: W.H.S. 18. Stockdale 22. Dec. 15: W.H.S. 18.

This fear so overcame him that he did fail, and as he sat down in confusion, he whispered to a friend, sitting next to him: “There, I told you I would fail, and I did!” You, the Class of 1934, are standing on the. threshold of a new life. The preparation you have received thus far is but the foundation of a richer and fuller life. Will you take this preparation and mold it into a successful life, or will you say as Washington Irving did on this occasion: “There, I told you I would fail!” We, the Waverly Alumni Association, welcome you into our midst with open arms- Our only request is that you so shape your lives as to conform to those high standards that have been so proudly set up by the Waverly Alumni Association. JOHN CALDWELL, President of the Wavqrly Alumni Association. —o— HISTORY In 1881, Romaine Safford (Mrs. Wm. Taylor) became the, first graduate, and likewise the first a-lumnus of Waverly High School. The school building had been the scene, of that first commencement, so it was fitting that the initial meeting of the alumni should be there, also. It was in the spring of 1884. that the first graduates held a very informal gathering and had refreshments of ice cream and cake. Mr. C. M- Caldwell was elected the first president and acted in that capacity during the early days of the Alumni association- At that time most of the meetings were like parties and were held at the homes of graduates. In 1891 the alumni met in the Court House. There was a program, but no refreshments were served. Late in the, gay nineties, a formal banquet was held at the Emmitt House. It was preceded by a reception for thq new members and a toastmaster presided during an after-dinner program. This form of meeting for the Waverly Alumni Association has continued to be the custom. Banquets have been served at the Weiss Hall, the Rink, the Hote) Grand, the Art Hall on the Old Fair Grounds, Schauseil’s Hall, the K. of P. Hall, the old and the present Methodist Church and the old h'gh school building. The golden anniversary meeting was held in the new high school building in 1931. Many d'stinguish-ed and interesting people and a host of alumni have made the programs, presented each year, outstanding successes- Most of these programs have been made up of toasts, addresses and music. Occasionally they have been varied by professional entertainers, while the 50th anniversary of the association was reviewed in a pageant. It was not until 1929 that a constitution was drafted for the Waverly Alumni Association. In that same year a gavql made from a spindle of the stairway in the old school building, was presented to association by Jean Johnson (Mrs. George Gallagher) and has been used by each succeeding president. An emblem, designed by Artist Roy Best (1911), adorns all the official stationery. It is a replica of the old school building and was adopted in memory of Charles Best (1914). —MABEL J.

MAYOR C. P. GABLEMAN REV- J. V. STONE. 32 History of Waverly Waverly. Ohio, was laid out as a village in 1829, by M. Downing. The early history and progress o. the village is closely identified with James Emmitt, whose father was one of the early settlers in Pike county, and through whose generosity and foresight Waverly derived many material benefits. The old opera house was one of the philanthropies ol Mr. Emmitt, and was. until recent years, the home o: cultural projects. Composed largely of German stock, the number of inhabitants recorded in 1840 was 306. By 1846, two churches were established, Methodist Fpiscopal and the Presbyterian —and there was a total of four stores in the community. Until 1830, the village was known as Un-iontown. In attempting to establish a post of ice at that time, attention was called to the fact that there was already a town of that name in northern Ohio. Captain Francis Cleveland, an uncle of Grover Cleveland, and an engineer on the Ohio Canal then under construction at Uniontown suggested the name. WAVERLY. inspired by Scott's “WAVERLEY NOVELS. which he was at that time reading. The Ohio Canal was opened in 1842. At a large community dinner given in the event of the opening. Governor Lucas and Governor McArthur—opposing each other in the race or the governorship—were present. Industries prevalent in 1888 were: James Emmitt, Doors and Sash; Gehres Brothers, Doors and Sash; Pee Pee Milling Company, Flour and Feed; M. D. Schooler and Company, Harness and Leather; and the Waverly Spoke Works. Wagon Spokes. In 1888 the school census was recorded as 522, with James a Douglas as superintendent. Of churches, there were 6; one Methodist Episcopal; cne Presbyterian, one German Methodist Fpiscopal. one German Lutheran, one German United Brethren, and one Catholic. There was one bank, Emmitt and Company. There were two newspapers: The Pike County Republican. H. R. Snyder, editor; and the Waverly Watchman. John H. Jones, editor. The Mayor of the village was Philip Gableman. The most remarkable of the traditions in Waverly is the prejudice against the negro. The tradition dates to a feud between a certain negro and the Burke and Downing families. In an e fort to protect himself a-gainst the families attempting to run him from his home, a negro shot and killed one of the Downing family. To avenge the wrong, a brother threatened the life of a negro, whom he met in the woods, chopping trees. The negro availed himself of his advantage and used his axe on Downing, who was not killed by the blow, although disfigured. The negro was tried and acquitted, but the prejudice has grown as a part of the community. No colored individuals are among the registered population of Waverly, although the relationship between the races is not strained. With some changes the town remains practically of the same identity. At present the population is recorded as 1,603. Charles P. Gableman is the Mayor. The total school enrollment registered 799, with John R. Tei-chert, as superintendent, and Clarence Val-lery, William Cool. D. Stull Moore, James W. Robinson, and Allan Stau fer as the Board of Education. The total number of graduates from Waverly high school stands at 800. At present, there are seven churches, Methodist Episcopal, Presbyterian, Evangelical, United Brethren. Church of Christ In Christian Union. Bible Christian, and Catholic. The total church membership approximates 728. , Two newspapers: The Waverly Watchman, edited by A. S. Keechle, and The Republican Hera’.d. edited by John P. Douglas and Erwin L. Sigismund; two banks. The Wa-very State Bank, W. V. Watts, president; and The First National Bank. W. S. Jones, president; The Waverly Building Loan Company. George E. Barch. secretary; two industries. The Haynes Milling Co., The Waverly Lumber and Construction Co., 18 stores; 9 filling stations; 8 garages, constitute the business establishments, now in operation. For the exchange o' business and com-munitation. Waverly is served by three railroads: The Norfolk and Western. The Detroit, Toledo and Ironton and The Chesapeake and Ohio. One federal highway, U. S. Route No. 23. runs through the town from north to south. There are two other state highways. Routes 112 and 220 to the village. The southern Ohio Electric Company services the community with electric lights. The Ohio Standard Telephone Co. services with telephones, a Western Union branch office services with telegrams. The Waverly Water Works superintended by O. C. Ross and operated by local unds provide an adequate and sanitary water system.

Pearl Armstrong as foreman. Q. ‘Write all you know about Nero.’ A- ‘The less said about Nero the better.” “In case of asphyxiation, apply artificial respiration until the person is dead ” “In the United States people are put to death by elocution. “Heredity is a bad thing and ought to be prevented.” “Ore cf the main causes of dust is janitors.” (from Boners—Abingdon). 34 ■s0 To the Class 1934 Old as the idea of promotion may be, it still remains a most interesting one. It never loses its lure. It continues 10 be one of the incentives to hard work in life. All members of this class of 1934 will recall that promotion io high school was the big objective in wanting to pass their examination, and that promotion was one of the stepping stonea toward graduation. Now in this new promotion which is about to come to you—so different from any other you have ever experienced, I ask not: “Where do you leave off?” but rather, “Are you ready to go on?” Graduation is not a stepping stone, but rather a stepping up—gradu-a-gradum—a promotion, we hope into a higher class in life, for life itself is a great school. It is a mistake io say, “Today education ends, life begins. ” The process is continuous, the idea into purpose, the purpose into action, the action into character. When the mulberry seed falls into the ground and germinates, it begins to be transformed into silk. This view of life as a process of education was held by very early peoples—especially ihe Greeks and the Hebrews—the two races in whose hearts the stream of modern progress takes its rise. If we are familiar wih Psalms, we find that the ethical idea of the school of life sings through the words of the Hebrew psalmist. The Greek did rot use so strong an ethical emphasis as the Hebrew. For h'm the dominant idea was the unfolding of the Reason, the clarifying of the rowers of thought and imagination. His ideal man was one who saw things as they are, who understood their nature, felt their beauty, and followed truth. The Hebrew laid heaviest stress upon Righteousness. The foundation of his school were the tablets on which the Divine Laws, “Thou shalt,” and “Thou Shall Not,’ were inscribed. The ideal of his education was the power to distinguish between good and evil; the will to choose the good, and ihe strength to stand by it. Life, to his apprehension, fulfilled its purpose in the development of a man, who walked uprightly and kept the Commandments. The Greek advocated Reason — the Hebrew, Righteousness. Reason and Righteousnqss. What more could the process of life do ;o justify itself than to unfold these two splendid flowers upon the tree of our humaniity? What third idea was here that the third great race, the Anglo-Saxon, might conceive and cherish, and bring to blossom and fruition? There was only one—the idea of Service. It was left for the Anglo-Saxon race, quickened by ihe new word and the new life of a divine Teacher to perceive that righteousness was not reason, and reason was not righteosness unless they are both communicated to others, a d serviceable to others. So the Anglo-Saxon race said: “Bring forth better men and better women. able and willing to give that wh ch makes them better to the world in which they live. This is the idea of service. Wi h these three ideals in mind —Reason. Righteousness and Service. I bid this splendid class of 1934 God speed in your new promotion into the great School of Life.

To the students of Waverly High School, who have subscribed to the sales, to the patrons, who gave financial assistance, to the merchants who have purchased advertising space, to he teachers who have advised and contributed to the content, to ;he publishers who gave such patient assistance, and to the friends who have contributed with their good will, we express gratitude.

If, in the years to follow, these pages suggest pictures, recall memories, and revive associations of the year 1933-1934, our efforts will have been justified.
