He believes in playing the game square. 3 Oris Frooic OTTERBEIN COLLEGE A. B. Miss Flook is admired by and commands the deepest re' spect of all.

During these six years our enrollment has increased from about forty to sixtyffive. We are sure this has been our most enjoyable year. We elected our class officers the third week of school. We believe we have chosen very good ones. We have become accustomed to changing classes and we are always glad to go to assembly on Monday or Friday. Soon after our election of oflicers we held our first push. Everybody enjoyed this push and had a good time. We also were pleased with our sponsors. We have had several pushes since which proved very interesting. In interclass athletics we did not have such good luck. Francis Collier was cap' tain of the boys' basketball team and Lodema Freeman was captain of the girls' team. The girls' team was coached by Iola Mobray and Jessie Miller coached the boys' team. Both teams were handicapped by lack of weight and experience. Although we have not been prominent in athletics we participated in a number of extrafcurricular activities and next year we are going to show the whole school the merits of the class of '29, Dwight Barnes '29 Page Sixteen 'tg r, llllllllunn- Q -ulllllll ul, 5' ,gl 'lllmnn J Q ,Qi nnlllllll' f l UQHIT1 l uit 1111 M SEVENTH GRADE CLASS Alexander, Nolan Alexander, Ronald Alspaeh, Myrna Bailey, Helen Baker, Esther Ballard, Russell Ballenger, Lloyd Barnes, Dwight Barnes, Robert Beard, Calvin Bishop, Louise Bishop, Marguerite Collier, Francis Davis, Ernest Delong, Florence Delong, Hazel DeWolf, Lillian Dixon, Clarence Fifer, Donna Freeman, Lodema Glover, Hugh Gorsuch, Clyde Seventh Grade Grabill, Dorothy Hager, Margie Hance, John Heizer, Ruth Hessler, Edwin Hildreth, Helen Huhn, Roger Hunter, Bulah Irvin, Paul Jackson, William Kelser, Pauline Kisling, Catherine Krebs, Helen Krebs, Willard Lamson, Dow Little, Wendell Long, Howard Mann, Loma Martin, Blanche Masters, Maudie McKee, Bernice Miller, Dean Miller, Jerome Moore, Alice Newman, Lyla Noble, Robert Norris, Frederick Osborne, Alma Patrick, Edith Patterson, Maurice Patton, Gladys Phillips, Ruth Ramey, Laurence Rhodes, William Rosselot, La Velle Sage, Doreen Schick, Raymond Schrader, Alen Shaw, Oreon Shorter, Garland Slack, Paul Swingle, james Wigton, Erdena Page SEVEN! e 1 ' Ag Eighth Gracie EIGHTH GRADE HISTORY President-Marian Norris VicefP'resident-Robert Short Secretaryf'Treasure'r-Boyd Doty A In the fall of 1923 the present eighth grade entered school with the distinction of being the first seventh grade in the new JuniorfSenior High School Building. The new opportunities and advantages were greatly enjoyed. Everything seemed so strange and different from what we had been used to. However this feeling soon wore off and we learned to like the juniorfHigh School plan very much. All through the seventh year, we were interested in school activities as well as in our own. At all of the games a large number of our rooters were always in their places ready to do their share of rooting for the team. Altogether we had a lively interest in activities outside of the classroom, but our studies were not forgotten. When it came time for midfyear examinations, almost as many were excused as from the higher classes. Also a large number were excused from the final examinations. This year we have elected Marian Norris, presidentg Robert Short, vicefpresif dentg and Boyd Doty, treasurer. The class colors, red and blue, were chosen. The three pushes held in the gymnasium this year were much enjoyed by all because they were well plannedg all entered into the games with much zest. Again we have proved ourselves good students. By studying hard we feel that we are doing our part to uphold the standards that W. H. S. has always upheld. This year our class has distinguished itself in interfclass athletics. The boys' team defeated the Freshmen boys and the girls' team defeated the Frshmen girls. We believe that both our boys' and girls' teams will furnish much good material for W. H. S. in the coming years. Our teachers have done their best to help us get ready for Senior High School. We owe them our gratitude.

A short time after school opened, we elected our first class officers. They were: Ernest Cherrington, President, Dorothy Foster as VicefPresident, and Dorothea Flickinger as SecretaryfTreasurer. The next year we chose as our oflicers, Ray Kirkpatrick, President, Ruth Milf ler, VicefPresident, and Charles Dew as SecretaryfTreasurer. That year we had charge of exercises during one chapel period. This was inf deed an entirely new and entertaining experience but we enjoyed it greatly. In that school term we had three pushes and a picnic which everyone enjoyed. But at last we are Freshmen. We are now in the upper section of the educaf tional system of this school and we are proud of it. No doubt we have made mis' takes enough, but even so have the upper classmen who were in this class at one time. We are all interested in the extrafcurricular activities and outside interests conf nected with the school. Cur interfclass basketfball teams, in the race for the school championship, did not win the pennant or the highest standing in the games won, but were able to leave several of the upper classes on the short end of the score. So far this year we have enjoyed three socials. Also the class enjoyed a ban' quet when thc Freshmen under Mr. Nave, won in a contest for the largest percentage in banking. And so with pleasant thoughts and memories of our school days thus far, we look to the future of our class in the upper ranks. Although we have taken a great interest in the other things of attraction not in school education, we are glad to say that our studies have always been first in our minds and we shall always endeavor to place them so.

Through the first two years of Junior High School we followed the example of preceeding classes by electing class oihcers and taking part in the various extrafcurf ricular activities of the High School. In our Freshman year we elected Dorothy Schrader for President, Walter Clip' pinger for VicefPresident, and Bernice Wilson Secretary-Treasurer. We held two very enjoyable pushes during the year. Perhaps the most outstanding was the one held at Kirkpatricksg the other was held at the school house. That year we had one letter man on the Football squad. Being Freshmen we were very proud of this dis' tinction. We were also well represented in both Glee Clubs and other activities of the High School. This year we entered High School with an enrollment of over seventy, After organizing our class we held a push at the home of Mildred Bilikan. We are looking forward to several more pushes before the end of the term. This year the class of '27 is represented still better than last in athletics and other activities. We have always had reason to be proud of our class and we are sure that in the two remaining years of High School we shall have still more reason to be proud of our class.

The warden, Mr. Watson, was a very tall man and we trembled at the hrst sight of such a giant. But we later learned that we had nothing to fear from him, for he was very much concerned with our welfare, and his sole aim was to send us out into the world at the end of twelve years, better boys and girls, fitted for life's duties. As Mr. Warson took us into the room where we were to spend our first year, we were attracted by the sunny smile and pleasing manner of the young lady sitting at the desk. Miss Acton, Mr. Warson informed us, would be our guardian during this year. Miss Acton was very kind to us, and took a great interest in keeping us busy. It was under her instruction that we learned C'A-T spelled cat and that two plus one equalled four, how to make pictures with grains of corn, and best of all, how to play squirrell. We had such good times that we decided at the end of first year, that if the remaining eleven years were as enjoyable as the first one, we wouldn't mind it at all. The second year, we had a different guardian, Miss Smith. I guess they thought it was time for us to lighten up on our play and get down to some real work. Altho' we didn't have so much fun this year, there is one bright spot that stands out in our minds. During this year the first and second year inmates present' ed the musical play Tom Thumb, at the college chapel. Never will we forget how big we felt up on that platform in grown up costumes. And then when it was all over they served real ice cream to those who took part. Three new inmates, Mar- guerite McLeod, Louise Secrest and Ernestine Zartman, joined us within the prison walls this year. In the third year of this prison existence, Miss James took us in charge and we became so attached to her that the warden allowed her to remain with us the fourth year. In these two years, four more unfortunates came to us from similar institutions, Ruth Asire, Wilburn Bargdill, Floyd Fickel, and George Henderson. Little did we then dream that these three homely boys would in a few years blossom into sheiks of the class of '25. Miss James was always fond of poetry and she taught us to recite Hiawatha's Hunting. It was great sport to stand up beside our desks and give that long poem from memory with all the motions and actions of a real hunter. We also wrote some original poems which were really remarkable. One thing we hate to remember in this year was that it was then we were made to take the examinations for the first time. Page Fortyffour In the fifth year we began to forget our angelic ways of childhood and once in a while we were inclined to act unruly. Poor Miss Elliot had many trials and tribulations before she finally got us into submission. Her means of conquering us were many. Whenever we were caught whispering, we had to stay after classes and write on the blackboard one hundred times the sentence, I will not whisper, Of course we used ditto marks in most of it and usually left out one of the dittos which gave the sentence an entirely different meaning. Freda Moss joined our ranks this year and we are not certain whether she had any influence on our unruly conf duct or not. Our sixth year under Miss Moses was a memorable one for several reasons. This year we had a new warden, Mr. Baxter, in place of Mr. Warson. In the fall of this year, the fifth and sixth year prisoners presented an operetta Midsummer Eve under the direction of Miss Mills, music instructor. Then on November ll. the World War came to an end and we got almost a whole day off to parade all over town, celebrating the event. Three boys, Kennth Bunce, Ronald Harsha, and Richard Miller came to us this year to work out the remaining years of their sen' tence in our superior ranks. And oh, what a year of excitement was our seventh, within those once dreaded walls. We had a series of guardians, Miss Rogers having us in charge Hrst. Then about Thanksgiving time we discovered a wedding ring on her left hand and tout de suite, we gave her a shower of rice. After Christmas Mrs. Charles ruled the ranch until the second semester. She had a terrible time with us. She got so exasperated one day that she tried to hang Marian Dew on a hook in the cloakroom, but luckily for Marian, the hook didn't hold. Miss Michael came to our rescue at the beginning of the second semester. At first appearance we thought she was so sweet and innocent looking, that we could do just as we pleased. But, say, we had another guess coming, because before the first week was over, we were the ones that were sweet and docile. Even though once in a while, she did order us around in her stentorian voice, she was usually jolly and full of pep, and that was why we liked her so well. This year Joseph Little became a member of the circle under Miss Michael's charge. Also, the inmates of the instituf tion, including us, presented a second operetta, directed by Miss Mills, entitled Jack and the Beanstalk, in which Mr. Baxter played the part of the giant. This seventh year marked the end of our solitary confinement and we began our eighth year with a new freedom as trusties. We were allowed to associate more with the other inmates, and instead of being in one room with one guardian, we had several guardians, each in a different room. There were four new numbers added to our gang this year. Number '13 was Helen Magillg 24, Edythe Priest, 27, Virginia Robinson, and 26, Louis Slack, About the ninth year, a mess of inmates from other prisons and a few that had been recaptured, swelled our roll. There must have been a regular crime wave that year, for some of them were desperate characters. There was Paul Wurm, Eve' lyn Dryer, Russell Benton, Faye Conklin, Arthur Gorsuch, Betty Mark, Julian Yan' tis, Evelyn Wolf, Kenneth Cornell, Mildred Tedrow, Charles Dungan, Cleona Hall, and Robert Sehrock. We also had a change of wardens, Mr. J. E. Way succeeding Mr. Baxter, but we do not attribute this to any crime wave. Page Fortyjive ? ' - Cur main occupations this year were pushes and more pushes. We had one at Dryer's Cottage, and a Hallowe'en push at Kelser's. Mrs. Reese was a chaperon at that one, and by the way, she sure could run a Ford. We had a Bobsled Party at Secrest's, too, so that altogether we had a good deal of fun that year, perhaps a little more than we should have had. But, we payed for it the tenth year, for to say that it was a hard year is putting it mild. That geometry-, we just never could see that, much to the prof found disgust of Mr. Miller. Some of us had to help take Caesar thru Gaul, and we assure you that it was a very tiresome journey. Our English class, under Miss Stinch' comb, was one where we learned a lot and enjoyed it thoroughly. Ctmer Ridenour, and Russell Heizer added their number to our roll during this trying year. We, the tenth year inmates ushered at Baccalaureate, which is a service for the trusties who have worked out their sentences, and are about to be given their freedom. We conf sidered them very lucky persons, but we realized that with a little patience and hard work, our turn would come soon. Our eleventh year proved to be another memorable one to us for various reasons. In the Hrst place, we were sent from the prison on Vine Street, where we had spent the first ten years of our sentence, to a new one on South State Street. It was such a lovely building that some of the boys just couldn't resist painting the gang numbers on the walks and building, for which they were duly censured and had to make reparation. Wheii spring came and everybody was possessed with spring fever, there was considerable undercurrent and excitement around school. We tried to learn what caused it, but all we heard was just something about chickens costing thirtyftwo dollars a dozen. Then, in May, we gave a banquet to the departing trusties and it was a great affair. The committee on the banquet got out on parole for two days to prepare for it. This banquet proved to be one of the outstanding events of our eventful careers. The nice part about it was that when the year was finished, we had the neat little sum of Hve dollars left in the treasury. And now, at last, we are nearing the completion of the twelfth year of our sentence and we look forward to our release with apprehension as to what the future holds for us. But we realize that we have accomplished the purpose for which we were sent to this prison of learning, the purpose of going out into the world better men and women than we would have been without these twelve years of training. Two new members joined us in this last year, Gerald Rooselot and Louis Propst. We, as a class, have gained no little recognition in our studies, in athletics and all other branches of activities. The stars of football and basketball have come from our ranks for the past three years. But all these things become trivial as we face Baccalaureate, the class play, Commencement, and the future. This long dreamed of time has come so quickly that we hardly realize that it is actually here. And in the rush of closing days, lest we forget, we wish to thank our parents and teachers for their patience, help and love during these twelve years of preparation, and we know their words and inf fluence will linger with us as we take up our duties as the men and women of to' morrow. - Mary Leona Kelser '25 Page Fortynsix -I sm. . ,Q 2' i l l ' JAMC nl , G3 UH lll lll if l 'Lu ,Iv . X I , , T fi- i.5,'si5V'i'f' I - rg 'f 'I - ullllf-5, ,fl Class Prophecy NE day last summer as Priesty and I were returning from a hike through the woods near Westerville, we noticed an old fashioned, open well. 3 This well as I afterward learned, was enchanted and strange things had been known to happen to persons coming under its charm. Not knowing V kg-N19 this. we drank some water from it, for we were very thirsty. Suddenly I became dizzy and, to my horror, felt myself falling headlong into the well. I knew no more until I heard voices and realized I was in a coffinflike structure without a lid. Several people were standing near and from their conversation, I came to the conclusion that I must be in a New York museum. This, said one of the guides, indicating me, Is one of our most remarkable pieces of sculpture. We cannot fully explain it, but it was found on the Chinese coast covered with queer looking mud. At this I sat up and looked around me. I immediately noticed some' thing familiar about one of the girls so I asked her her name. She said she was Mrs. Pauline Howe Lust. I climbed out of my coiiin and Pauline introduced the others to me as Marian Dew, Mrs. Dorothy H. Schrock, and Robert Schrock, and Herbert Lust. I remarked at the great change in all of them but Pauline explained this by saying that it had been twenty years since my mysterious disappearance. She explained that Mariaii was prof prietor of a beauty shop on Fifth Avenue and in spite of numerous proposals nf marriage, persistently refused them. Dorothy and Robert had been cook and butler at the Rockefeller home but owing to their daily quarrels were looking elsewhere for employment. Pauline and Herbert were living in the Hebrew district of New York where Herbert had grown wealthy from his Pawn Shop. I desired to know more about the illustrious class of '25, so Pauline asked me to return with her to her home where she had complete records of the class. We accordingly went out to the Lusls' Ducsnberg, chautfered by George Henderson. George, when he had failed as an actor, took up chauffeuring because it was a better paying job and gave him more time for his growing international lace trade. That evening after dinner, Pauline showed me a large book similar to a diary. I opened the book and the first name I noticed was that of Ruth Asire. Ruth had become Editor of College Humor after she dreamed that she would die with a paintf brush in her hand. She was the recognized leader in the field of commercial humor. Arthur Gorsuch was her Associate Editor. Next I noticed the name of Kenneth Bunce. Pauline told me that Freda Moss, his wife, expected to soon be the wife of a congressman. No, she wasn't marrying again. Ken was running for U. S. senator. Willwui-n Bargdill's name, coupled with that of Eyelyn Dryer followed. Wil' burn had been reported lost but Evelyn, his wife, guided by Louis Slack, had succeed' ed finally in finding him in the South Sea Islands. He had been unable to escape be' cause of the amourous advances of the dusky queen of the tribe. Page Fortyfseven ' I ' ' l . Pearl Day was the most notable member in Pauline's list. He was running for third term as President of the United States. Virginia Robinson, his secretary had married Lewis Propst but when she had to pay seven fines in one week because of his mania for speeding, she divorced him and married Osborne Holdren, Editor of the Congressional Record. The next item was a newspaper clipping which said, We recommend Trials of an Amateur Love Maker, by Richard U. Miller. When I asked Pauline about Floppy she replied that that title spoke for itself and would say no more. Next came the name of Charles Dungan. Chuck had run away to sea when he was left an old ladies' home by a rich uncle and had become the captain of a coaling vessel. His cook and chief mate were Edith Priest and Gerald Rosselot respectively. Pauline told me Arthur Mills was living in New York and owned a traveling show. Russell Benton was the next name I saw. He had just been made principal of Westerville High School and he and his wife, formerly Ernestine Zartman were living upstairs over the poolroom. Evelyn Wolf was teaching English, Faye Conklin, Physics and Chemistry, and Mildred Tedrow and Paul Wurm, Girls' and Boys' Physical Culture at Westerville. Mildred, who had been with Ziegiield's Follies for seven years was particularly well fitted for the place. Paul had married Mary Leona Kelser several years before and since she had become Post-mistress with -Iulian Yantis her first assistant, Paul was known as Mr, Mary Leona Wurm. Floyd Fickel was also connected with Westerville High School. He was janif tor there, but assistants did most of his work while he, as a blowout specialist, man' aged the garage across the street aided by other assistants. Pauline said that he had reaped a fortune from his old Ford which, he had sold to a circus. It was said to do everything from making loye to the performers to hypnotizing itself. Otmer Ridenour came next. He had married Lucille Tusche and under the names Signor, Boccaccio Guiseppiu and Madame Lucille Jaques they were in the Metropolitan Ooera Comoanv. Foggy Accompanied by Peg had become quite a famous tenor, Following Peg and Foggy was the Reverend Joseph Little. Several years before he had gone to Sumatra as a missionary and there met and married Louise Secrest- also in the missionary work. Russell Heizer had also been in the missionary work, Pauline said. but at the failure of his church to support him had left the work, and compiled a dictionary of expressions to be used only in moments of exasperation. He had become wealthy from the receipts of this publication and had married Marguerite McLeod. Before her marriage, Marguerite had been with Helen Magill in social ser' vice work. Then I noticed the name of Mary Noble. Shed had married Kenneth Cornell who was with Russell Garrabrant in a second hand haberdashery in Boston. Then the book I was holding seemed to fade away and I fell into a semifunf conscious state. Suddenly I heard a voice say She's coming to, Doctor. I looked around and saw that I was in a hospital bed with my head bandaged and a nurse and doctor standing near.

That was nothing new for jimmy, however, he was always in trouble. The bestlexpression of the above statement was made by his chum, Sammy Jamison, Dat bo' sho' am de unluckiest feller in dis hole F 'J ' ' worl'! Ef him starts to sneak a piece of canny fum mister Buurs sto' him gits cot as sure as yo's bon. Ah niver runs wif dat feller cas him's al'os gittin inter trouble. jimmy was a small, curly-headed, black boy, He was short, plump and slow moving. This may have accounted for his getting caught so often in his numerous trouble-making escapades. Once he angered a prominent colored gentleman by climbing over and break' ing down the latter's chickenfyard fence. But when the gentleman approached to use drastic measures in correcting this outrage, jimmy scuttled away like an eel. This prank cost Jimmy a paddling and his father a small sum in cash. This, however, was only one of his numerous escapades. The latest was much worse than any of the others. It was a snowy day in February, the snow had begun to melt slightly and it packed well making excellent snowballs. jimmy and a host of his companions had engaged in a battle with a bunch of white rebels who saw fit to use as a fortress, a large packing box which stood directly in front of a plate glass window belonging to the firm of Blackley, Blackley E? Co., hardware dealers. Our unlucky leader threw a ball which completely demolished the window. His army withdrew a little too hastily to be dignified. The rebels, however, knew the names of their assailants and lost no time in imparting their information to the officials of the firm. Now jimmy stood before his irate parent receiving the consequences. james Baker, ef yo' aint de beatin'est bo' to git in trouble. Las' Sat'day yo' let out eve'y one a Mis' Wilkin's chickens 'n' t'day yo' does dis. Says which fo' Yo'se'f? Ah dun it all'n fun, said jimmy mournfullyg then his voice rose vehemently, L'Dem white rascals aint lit ter lib in de urf. Ah bets yo' five smakers 'twas dat Johnny Parker w'at tol' on me. Ah'll git dat bo' one a dees days, nen yo' better sta't runnin' fo' yo' don' wan' ta heah de yells dat feller'll give. Yo does dat an yo'll not be able ta set down fo' a day oa two, said his father severely. Then rising to the height of his dignity he resumed, Lickens don' do yo' no good noways it seems lak, so ah'm gonna do sumfin' what will. Ah'm of de 'pinion dat wurken ain' de fondes' yo' is of, so ah've dewised a betta plan fo' to punish yo' all. Ah've 'ranged wif mister to let yo' wurk at dat sto' t'morrow oa ah'll use mah paddle 'gin. Now no back talk oa ah'll thrash ya yitf' Jimmy withdrew with the air of one whose doom is sealed. Outside he met his chum, Sammy, who greeted him with a wide grin which greatly emphasized his white teeth. Page Fifty-one g -- . Did yo' dad break de paddle on yo,' jim? he asked. Then seeing that jim showed no signs of one who has just undergone a case of paddleitis he became mystied. Didn't yo' dad whip yo' jim? he asked plainly disappointed. L'C'ose not, ya rummy, mah pa don' whip me fo' doin' lil' 'rings lak dat. 'Onus? 'iSure, mah pa don'whip me. Ya see ah made'n 'greement wif mah pa dat if ah wurks fo Mister Blackley he won' whip me w'en ah does a lil' thing lak dat. Here he elevated his nose and gave the impression that breaking windows was one of his daily exercises. Don yo' kid yo' papa lak dat, said Sammy, then he stepped close to James, and looked into his face. Yo pa woul' do dat w'en he wore de board thin on yo' fo' breakin down Mister jones fence would him? Oh, said james Baker, junior, proudly, Nah kin make mah dad does watever ah wants he should do. i'Says which? U jimmy repeated his statement. How yo' 'complish dat? Argymentation. Says which? Ah don' stan' unner all de big words what yo' uses. W'en ah cain't make him does what ah wants by one argyment den ah trys nuther ontil ah gits him to compr'mise. Compr'mise? Ah means, said Jimmy with a superior air, ah makes him does what ah wants. Oh, said the enlightened one. Then after a short meditation he seemed to put the matter aside for future reference. C'mon Jim, le's hunt up de gang, said he. When it was time for school to be dismissed the next day jimmy almost wish' ed it wastn't out. He didn't go the way home which was traveled by his friends as he was greatly averse to embarrasing questions as to why he could not lead them on their usual round of mischief making. Mr. Blackley was a short, plump, severe colored man whose sole aim was making money, nor did he particularly care as to how the cash was made. Vkfhen james entered the store he looked up with a frown, Wot kin ah do fo' yo'? he asked. Ah'm da bo' what broke de winder, an mah pa said dat he'd made 'range' munts wif yo' ta let me wurk an pay hitt off. So yo' is de bo' what broke de winderf' said f-Mr. Blackley frowning. Yo' don' look lak yo' was rarin' ta wurkf' said he. As there was no reply he resumed, Now as wants yo' ta git dis in yo' noodle, dey is postifly no pay ter dis wurk, yo' is payin' fo' dat winder, does yo' git, boss? - Yahs sah, said James Baker, Junior, meekly. Nah yo' jus ambulate dis way 'n ah'll show yo' wat yo's gwine do. He led the none too high spirited boy to a dusty, musty smelling room, piled high with boxes, Nah yo' put all dees in de evenus pile what yo' kin make over dar 'long da Page Fifty-two ffl llll l ' num ' it ti. 'llllll wall. Dat'll keep yo bi::y fo' a day oa two 'nen ah'll give yo' sumpin' else which yo' kin 'complishf' -Iimmy's heart sank. He had hoped to get off with an evening's work, but this began to look like indefinite slavery. But how long does yo' spec dis bo' ta pay for dat Winder? Surely dat lil piece of glass don' cost two evening's wurkf' His boss looked at him severely. Lissen har lil bo,' din yo' pa sen' yo' ta save his own self de trouble of braken de boa'd on yo'? Yeh, sullenly. Wall, den dis be yo' punishment. Yo' wurks as long as ah wants yo' to. Gits me? ..Yeh-.. Wen ah punishes ah punishes right. Git ta wurkf' And with that he left the room. jimmy began slowly and sorrowfully to carry the boxes to one side of the room and pile them in a neat row. Once or twice as he worked something rattled inf side them. At first he paid no attention to this, but after a time he noticed it. His curiosity was at once aroused and he lifted the lid on the top of the box and peeped in. Inside was a neat row of empty bottles. He took one out and sniffed at it. H'm darned if dis don smell funny, he said to himself. Dat smells lak-, then growing excited, 'Lyessir dats boosef' At once Jimmy was all spy. He tiptoed to the door of the store room and looked out. Mr. Blackley was at the counter waiting on a customer. This customer left and, after the elapse of approximately live minutes, a tall, slim, colored man entered and said a few words to Jimmy's boss. They went into a little side room for a private talk. Jimmy tiptoed swiftly across the outer room to the door. As soon as he was out and the door closed, he ran as fast as small and exceedingly short legs could carry him. He rounded a corner and rushed up to a policeman who was standing on the side walk. Cfc-c-c-come on quick, he stammered. Amid hurried questions and stammered answers they reached the store. At the door Jimmy cautioned the ofhcer to be quiet and entered the room. But the oHicer's shoes were large and heavy and they made more than the average amount of noise. Consequently when the two had traversed about half the distance between the outer door and the store room Mr. Blackley appeared on the scene followed closely by the slim stranger. What's dis 'sturbance mean? he asked in a loud voice. Don't come a step closer, Mr. Slick, or I'll give you a bullet, came the reply, and Jimmy, who was watching breathlessly from behind a packing box under the counter where he had crawled at the first appearance of his boss, saw the police' man, gun in hand, search and handcuff the two men. Caught you at last, Slick, he remarked with satisfaction. Guess I would' n't tho, if it hadn't been for that kid. Vkfhere is he? Hea, sah, said Jimmy coming from his dusty hiding place. Guess you'll get a big reward for this, boy, this fellow is the worst safe cracker in New York. Ah had a pres'munt dat bo'd be bad medicine, murmered Mr. Blackley. Wen ah punishes, ah punishes right, git ter jail, commanded Jimmy. Lucien Adams '29 Page Fifty-three 5-inf ,sri ff, 1 r 3-1.21.3 295. ox, .-.,,,4:f4, . Wg: nr, iiii gg- -4 1' ' ' X L. M.

Such a club was formed at the beginning of the second semester. The name of the club is Demoschylus, which is derived from the names of two an- cients: Demosthenes, the world's greatest orator, and Aeschylus, a playwright. Other ofhcers of the Demoschylus Club are: Walter Clippinger, treasurerg and Ruth Cheek, critic. Louise Frost is chairman of a committee of five members whose duty it is to plan programs for all meetings. The meetings are held semifmonthly on Mondays. A second committee of ive members takes care of membership and the work of obtaining new members. The Demoschylus Club has been very successful in accomplishing its purpose. We have long felt the need of such a club and now that we have one we are going to boost it. We are going to attend meetings regularly and promptly and cheerfully respond when asked to take part in programs, and in every way possible help to make a bigger and better Demoschylus Club next year.

S. resulted in an increase in membership of the Girls' Cwlee Club. When the membership became so large, it was found best to form two Girls' Glee clubs. The result was a Crlee Club for both Junior and Senior High girls. Every member of the club is intensely interested in the work and under the direction of Miss Ward some very high class music has been rendered. The Club has already appeared on a number of programs which have served greatly to increase the interest of the members. The club practices twice a week. Credits toward graduation are given for this work, but it is the pleasure of singing as well as the increased knowledge of music which serves as the main stimulant of interest. These nreetings are considered as val' uable as class work. The High School is benefited much by developing its musical talent and music plays an important part in the school life of the students. ' Evelyn Ridenour '28 Page Sixty 2 2 if ' s 35394 The Boys' Qlee Club President-james Harris '26 VicefPresident-Osborne Holdren '25 Sec.fTreas.FLloyd Chapman '27 The Boys Glee Club of Westerville High School was organized September 16, 1924. In late years although the High School has had a girl's club, but no boys club was formedg this was due probably to the lack of an instructor and leader. However, with the coming of Professor Ehrhart to the institution a boy's organization was im- mediately established. Under his capable leadership it has already gained a prominent place among the other extrafcurricular activities of our school. During the past year splendid progress has been made for so young an organf ization. Not only has the club with the assistance of the Girl's Glee Club staged the Cperetta, Love Pirates of Hawaii, recognized as one of the greatest musical features of its kind ever put on by the local school, but it has also gained much recognition through its spring concert. Through a suggestion of Mr. Ehrhart a secret society was formed composed of certain select members of the club. This society has created a sense of interest and cooperation in the club among the members. The Boys' Cvlee Club has stimulated an interest in singing among the boys of Westerville High School. It has been some time since the boys of W. H. S. have had the advantage of vocal training and a marked improvement is shown in their warbling. Lloyd W.

Due to late organization of the club nothing of importance was accomplished aside from laying a permanent foundation for the present club. In 1924 the club was reorganized under the direction of Miss Ethel Ward A concert was given at the High School during the second semester. During the present year the Glee Club has endeavored to produce several worth while musical programs. The feature of the year was the operetta, Love Pirates of Hawaii. It was presented twice with the assistance of the Boys Glee Club and the junior High Girls Club. This was the only production of its type to have been staged recently in the community. The first week in May was National Music Week. This week was observed by the Glee Clubs of the High School as well as other musicial organizations of Westerville. Although the club will lose several of its best members this year, those who stay are determined to do their best to continue to make W. HQS. proud of her Girl's Glee Club. .

Such is the pledge held sacred by every HifY member. This year, the local club, under the presidency of Osborne Holdren, has had another successful year. It has practically doubled its membership, there being at present sixteen members, The new ones received this year were: Arthur Gorsuch, Russell Garrabrant, Kenneth Cornell, Carl Starkey, LeVere Breden, Lloyd Chap' man, Walter Clippinger, Morris Windoni, George Henderson, Floyd Fickel, and Paul Wurm. The organization holds its meetings once a week. Important decisions and discussions are brought' up and discussed in the lessons. The HifY Club has been instrumental in bringing various speakers to the High School. These proved very beneiicial especially to the boys. As to our social phase we have had many good times together. Among these were the socials held at the Presbyterian Church and at Cornell's. Both of these proved very enjoyable to the members present, and have only aided in making our bonds of friendship the closer. james Harris '26 Page Sixtytliree MWWWWWWWWWWWMWWWWWWWWWWWWMWWWWWWWWW MNWWNH I I 11 Ill W :-L ' M ' THE M SEARCHLIGHT i v iii' I PUBLISHED BY THE SENIQR CLASS OF NXYESTERVILLE HIGH SCHCGL WWWMWWWWMWWWWMWWWMWIWWWWWWHII lH!Ml1l NNN M, ,- I i The Band Director, Rhoderick Shaw President, George Henderson Business Manager, Relaffa Freeman For the first time in its history, Westerville High School can speak and think proudly of a snappy wide awake band. It was organized early in September by the more ambitious musicians of the student body under the able direction of Mr. Rhoderick Shaw. The new institution promptly began rehearsals, meeting regularly twice a week. Thus the organization grew reaching shortly after the holidays an enrollment of twentyffive members, all of whom were prompt to attend the meetings, industrious and more than anxious to merit success for both the school and themselves. It was no easy matter to round into shape so large a number of awkward but eager and perhaps over zealous boys and girls, but our director with his sympathy, never failing enthusiasm and rare ability, never once relaxed in his efforts. Consef quently within the short time of four months the new organization had lost much of its awkwardness and was playing excellently some of thermost diliicult numbers. On February 6, 1925, the band made its first public appearance playing for the Farmers Institute receiving hearty applause and congratulations.. From that time on the band was much in demand, playing at basketball games and many other school activities. activities. In the latter part of March, the band gave a concert in the High School Audi' torium proving conclusively that it was a first class institution and a valuable asset not only to the High School but to the city of Westerville as well.

It has appeared at most of the haskethall games this year, always keeping up the spirit whether the team was winning or losing. It has also played at many different entertainments including the operetta, L'Love Pirates of Hawaii, given by the hoys and girls glee clubs. We feel sure that VJ-:steryillc High School is proud of her orchestra and will uphold it in the future. This ycar's splendid accomplishment is due to the competent leadership of Mr. Kline and the willing cofoperation of all the memhers. A PERSONNEL Pianist ..,......... ..,.......

A 4, vjvx. . . ,L ':.'v19 ggi, The need of some sort of Latin Club has been felt in Westerville High School, but for various reasons it was not until this year that the opportunity of forming such a club presented itself. A club was formed the early part of the school year by members of the Virgil Latin Class. A committee chosen for the purpose def cided that the organization should be known as the L'Olympian Club. They also agreed that the officers should be named after various Roman gods and that meetings should be held at least once a month. At the initial meeting the decision of the com' mittee was given and officers elected. This year officers are as follows: President, Qupiterj Wilburn Bargdillg Secretary, Qunoj Mary Leona Kelserg Treasurer, lVenusj Freda Moss. Meetings are held once a month during the usual recitation period of the class, and the club is unlike most other organizations in that practically every mem' ber is at each meeting. The purpose of the club is toastimulate a greater interest in Roman customs and Roman life. Therefore each month several members are re- quired to prepare a paper or an essay on some phase of Roman life and to read it before the club. The Roman house, Roman civil life, religious rites, military affairs, Rome itself, heroes of Rome, Roman holidays, all these subjects and many more have been reviewed and discussed by different members of the club. Each member is ref quired to participate at least once during the year. The success with which it has been conducted it is certain that the club will live in W. H. S., and will be enlarged and bettered as it grows older. Floyd Fickel '25 Page Sixtyfsix V T - l l omisrlc cum ,E -- 1, , .M pq X . The Home Economics department was inaugurated in Westerville Hgh School several years ago. The course was Hrst established by Mrs. Nellie Noble of Gtterf bein College. After working out a great many of the problems and difficulties she turned the course over to Miss Ensor who was succeeded by Miss George. Our next instructor was Miss Lois Sellers, with Miss Hayes following, and then Miss Haueisen. This year the department is under the eiiicient supervision of Miss Ingram. lt was not originally the type of course now offered to the girls, but as time advanced different things were introduced into the department. First it was a course in basketry along with instruction in sewing and cooking. Then came the cafeteria, at first on a small scale but now it has grown so that it is capable of supplying the entire school. After the cafeteria was introduced a course in millinery followed. Many of the girls wore to school, the hats which they had made themselves. Most of them were quite becoming. The latest addition to the department is a course in sanitation. This is one of the most popular courses, having an enrollment of over sixty girls. This department is one of the most interesting and beneficial of the High School Curriculum.

Much of this improvement is due to the interest of our competent instructor, Mr. Ehrhart. He always has a solution for every problem and his interest in the work has helped the students in many ways. Although we have been rather crowded in our small room we have been able to make many articles. Several have been made this year which had not been undertaken recently. A few of these are cedar chests, porcelain top tables and serving trays. Besides these we have made many smaller articles. Before Christmas the department realized a neat sum from the sale of toys which were made by the students of this department. Useful articles such as chests, tables, camp stools, and clothes brushes also sold at a profit. The proceeds of this sale were used for the purchasing of new equipment for this department. A circular saw is a part of this additional equipment. This little saw has been a first class assistant, saving time and energy. The work turned out with it is of a much higher quality than that done before. Taken as a whole, the manual training department has had a very successful year and the members have received much valuable instruction from the course. We have just reason for feeling proud of our accomplishments. -s. Paul Goodbar '27 Page Sixtyfcight Z?, t X ---mm. S -..--nllllllll' Hlillf isffjfgxlgig tl mln gunnin g - ff, MGR 16: Uifruize .. This year an addition was made to the Westerville High curriculumg namely a course in Agriculture, headed by Mr. Frederick I. Salter. This is an entirely new phase of study which has never been oifered before in our High School and it is quite popular with the students who are taking it. There are three diiferent branches of the course, the Soils Class, which is offered, includes students of the junior and Senior Classesg the Crops Class, which is offered to the Freshmen and Shopomoresg and the Shop course which is offered chiefly to the Sophomores, although others are taking it. These different courses oifer many interesting subjects to the students of the rural districts and it is certain that those who expect to take up farming as an oc- cupation will profit greatly by this course. Occasional held trips are taken. This breaks up the monotony of class work and adds to the interest of the study. The Soils Class has taken over a small farm and its problems in an attempt to devise a plan by which it can be operated on a more paying basis. The Shops Class has made many articles of value during the year as well as learning how to make numerous repairs about a farm. This Spring the Soils Class has planned to go to the Chio Experiment Station at Wooster where they expect to study the different experiments that are being carried on out there. The Crops Class study the crops and other phases of farm work. The value of these courses will not be fully realized for several years, not until the agricultural students become modern farmers using the knowledge of practical farming which they have gained.

Football squad were getting their 'first workouts. The week was spent in football camp, becoming hardened and learning some of the less interesting things about the great game, such as roll blocking, tackling, and falling on the ball. Hikes broke up the monotony of regular camp workouts. These helped to put the men into condition which was necessary for the hard schedule before them. As soon as school opened the team commenced their regular workouts on the Ctterbein held. These were far more enjoyable than the camp workouts. Only five letter men were left from last year's squad but there was an abundant supply of new fellows who were willing to do their best to land a berth on the team. Besides these there were left from last year's second team, Ridenour, J. Miller, Cor' nell, Rooselott, Gorsuch, Yantis, Dungan, Wurm, Johnston, and Earl Collier who was inelligible because of his age. This was a hard blow to the team but E Sims was always back of the team and oifered much assistance in many ways. NE Sims was captain elect for the season of 1924. - New Albany 0 Westerville High School 53 The season was ushered in by a win over the New Albany aggregation on the Otterbein field. Although the score would apparently indicate otherwise, the game was intensely interesting. After the first team had run up a good score on the visitors the second team was sent in to finish the game. The real fighting power of the squad could not be determined by this game because the first team was not in long enough to hit a good stride. Centerburg 6 Westerville High School 13 For the second game of the season the Westerville team journeyed to Center- burg. The Hrst part of the game went against the Red and White but they were able to stage a come back and brought home another victory.for W. H.. S. Center- burg's only score came from a bad pass from the center. This was due to the un- evenness of the field. Although Westerville's goal was threatened a number of times, the line held at the crucial moment.

The team worked like a well-oiled machine during the whole game. Even when the first team was ref placed by the second the line did not weaken. This game gave Westerville fans the privilege of judging the real strength of the team. A number of positions of which there was some doubt were filled perfectly. Springheld 27 Westerville High School 12 Although the score would indicate an unsuccessful trip to Springfield, this was not the case. The team was outfweighed on an average of thirty pounds to the man. just after the kickoff the Westerville squad was able to take the pigskin down to the twenty yard line by a series of end runs and passes. After an unsuccessful attempt for a field goal by Westerville the Sprinfield aggreagation attempted a series of line bucks. The Westerville line was not heavy enough to stand those onrushes and gave way before the attack of the Blue and Gold. just before the end of the quarter Springfield scored the first touchdown. This was followed by another touchdown and goal before the intermission. The second half the Westerville warriors came back for blood. During this period Westerville scored twelve points to its opponents six. Westerville's two scores came in the last quarter. The squad fought hard but they were unable to overcome the lead of Springfield. Lancaster O Westerville High School 6 Although the Lancaster game was not as fast as some of the previous games it chalked up another win for Westerville in the Central Ohio League. The local team was not in the best of shape following injuries suffered in the Springfield game. The Lancaster delegation retained their characteristic fight and determination but local fans did not see them defeated as easily as they expected. Newark 0 Westerville High School O The following week the team was in good shape when it journeyed to Newark to meet the strong fast Newark aggregation. The game was hard fought, the ball ref maining about the middle of the field during most of the game. Both teams were out for blood and would not give up an inch of ground without a fight. The pig' skin seefsawed up and down the field a little at a time. The game ended with the ball on Newark's own twentyffive yard line. Page Seventyfjive limi Mt. Vernon 15 Westerville High School O Westerville's second and last defeat of the season was at the hands of Mt. Vernon. This game was played on the Otterbein field. Despite the fact that the local squad made eight first downs to its opponents three, it was unable to gain at the crucial time. This was due in a large measure to the difference in weight of the two teams. This was the only defeat suffered by Westerville in the Central Ohio League. London O Westerville High School 18 The last game of the season was played at Westerville on a very muddy field. After a few plays it was next to impossible to indentify any individual on the team other than by the positions occupied. The game was snappy and full of thrills in spite of the mud. In the last quarter the entire second team was substituted. In this game Harsha, Wurm, Mills, Cornell, Yantis, Day, Gorsuch, Ridenour, Rosselot and Little were last seen in action on the W. H. S. Football team. They played a mighty fine game and their presence will be missed next year. To the second team belongs much of the credit for the enviable record of the whole team. Thru their efforts Coach Parks was able to build up a team which compared favorably with any in Central Ohio. They spent much time in hard work and took many hard knocks in order to make the first team successful. The following were on the second team: Dixon, Schott, French, Samuels, Priest, Benton, Burke, Long, Rogers, Earl and Sanford. Sanford was a letter man the year before but was un' able to play much due to injuries received early in the season. In appreciation of its efforts the team was given three banquets. The first was served in the Methodist Recreation Hall and was thoroughly en' joyed by all. The second was the direct result of Mr. W. B. Johnston's interest in the team. Supt. J. E, Way acted as toast master and speeches were made by Coach Parks, Grubby Garrabrant and members of the School Board. This second enjoyable evening was enjoyed at the expense of our loyal fans. The last banquet was given by Coach Parks. This was served by the girls of the Home Economics department in the High School Cafeteria. This, as could be expected, was another real feed. Everyone had all that he could possibly eat and enjoyed himself as much as at either of the two precedingwbanquets. A word of appreciation is due to Otterbein College for the 'way in which they have cofoperated in providing a place for Westerville High School's various athletic contests. They have assisted greatly and their efforts are greatly appreciated.

This game was a mighty hard fought one indeed. The Trade team had a decided advantage in the score at the end of the first half but after some of Coach Parks' pep serum the W. H. S. team was able to bring about the downfall of the Trade aggregation. Centerburg High 27 ' Westerville High School 32 january 3, 1925 After a series of hard practices under the direction of Coach Ditmer of Otter' bein College during the Christmas vacation Centerburg invaded the W. H. S. gym with the intention of defeating the home team. The game was a scrappy one all the way. through. The game was marked by much better teamfwork than had been seen in the Trade game and another win was the result. Newark. High SS Westerville High School 16 The Newark Crew was one of the fastest High School teams ever seen on the Westerville High School Basketball floor. Although W. H. S. went down in defeat before this team it was a glorious defeat for not a moment of the game was one of slackening on the part of the W. H. S. team. It was discouraging to be defeated when one worked so hard but the town fans and everybody concerned was certain that the team had done its best. Lancaster High 38 Westerville High School 16 Ianuavy 16, 1295 Lancaster was our next adversary and the second one to defeat us in the season. Cringing from the defeat she had received at the hands of W. H. S. on the gridiron, Lancaster began the game with a terriffic amount of fight and determination to win. Westerville was unable to withstand this onrush and went down to defeat lighting for all they were worth. Mt. Vernon 22 Westerville High School 13 Iaviuary 24, 1925 The fourth game of the season and the first one on a strange floor was at Mt, Vernon. There on the small fioor the Westerville aggregation was defeated after a valiant stand on her part. The game was hard fought and the members of the team, laboring under a decided disadvantage, did their best to overcome the lead gained by Mt. Vernon early in the game. Marysville 30 Westerville High School 23 january 30, 1295 - When the strong Marysville aggregation returned home after the Westerville 'Marysville game they had another victory to their credit but one for which they had to give their best. The W. H. S. team did its best to check the rapidly rising score of the Marysville team and to increase her own number of points at the same time but the defense of Marysville could not be penetrated to any extent. At ties the home team increased their number of points only to be checked by the increased def termination of the Marysville aggregation. Page Seiientyfeiglit rw 321 Hyatts 22 Westerville High School 19 fartuary, 31, 1925 The losing of this game was a sad disappointment to the team and fans of Westerville because victory had semed so close at hand. The diminutive size of the Hyatts players was a decided handicap to the Westerville team, in that it was almost impossible to keep from fouling one of the opponents when attempting to break up one of their formations. Two of the W, H. S. players were put out of the game in this way, while breaking up a combination that was going in fine shape. Lancaster 24 Westerville High School 15 February 8, 1925 NVhen Westerville went to Lancaster for their second game 'away from home in the season of 19244925, it was with a spirit of revenge for the defeat suffered from Lancaster only a few weeks before on the home floor. Westerville started the game with bang and the half ended with the tally in favor of the visiting team. When the second half began Lancaster decided they would not have so easy a time to defeat the visitors as had been expected and were forced to do their utmost to give W. H. S. her second defeat by her own hands. Coshocton High 20 Westerville High School 12 .February 13, 1925 Having lost all their games played with teams in the Central Ohio League teams this far, the Coshocton team invaded the home floor with the intention of going back to Coshocton with a victory to their credit. In the first half the home team was completely swamped by the visitors who piled up a lead of 12 points. Westerville came back strong in the second half and made S points to 3 for Coshocton but could not overcome the lead which the visitors had gained in the first half. Newark High IS Westerville High School 5 February 20, 1925 Westerville next journeyed to Newark where on a very small floor they were completely smothered although not without a hard fight. Newark was the fastest team in the Central Chio League and was playing on their own floor. W. H. S. was handicapped by the absence of one of her star forwards from the lineup which accounted to some extent for the loss of the game. Hyatts High 15 London High 21 Mt.

FRANKLIN COUNTY TOURNAMENT The Girl's team entered the County Tournament held at the Central Y. M. C. A. building in Columbus, Qhio. They played their first game Friday afternoon at 2:30 against Hillards, old time opponents. The game was fast and well played, both teams showing good form and team work. When the final whistle blew, the Red and White basketeers were on top with a score of 22 to 16. Cn the following evening at 8:30 the local team played Bexley High. This was not a game to be taken lightly, even if our girls had beaten them twice. For that reason the Bexley girls were all the more determined to win. However the state' ment the third time's the charm proved true and with each girl doing her best and all working together our players came across with a 17f9 score. The following afternoon at 3:30 W. H. S. defeated New Albany in an unin' teresting walklaway game. The New Albany delegation were completely outclassed by the local girls who piled up the score of 37 to 4. This game put W. H. S. into the finals. . Saturday evening at S100 o'clock Westerville met Grove City. This game was expected to be close and fast for Grove City has always been more or less Hhoodooed for W. H. S. On the part of the Red and White squad this was true. Every girl played real basket ball, giving her best and by far outplayed the Grove City girls. The jinx proved false for it fell before the onrush of the Red and White. When the final whistle blew Westerville led by a score of 30 to 11. After the game the girls were presented with a trophy in the form of a Silver Basketball. Individual gold medals were presented to the members of the team a few days later in assembly. This ended the 1925 Basketball season for the W. H. S. Girls team. This was the first Westerville team to win the Franklin County Tournament and the record for the season is very enviable. Westerville High School is proud of her girls team and congratulates them for their success. ' Let's give a team rah! 1X2-3! TEAM RAH! TEAM RAH! RAH RAH TEAM! Pauline Howe '25 Page Eightyftwo 9?

Whether it does or does not, depends upon the whole school, because the success of an annual is due to the efforts of a large number of students. If this annual is a suc- cess the credit will fall where it belongs---on the whole school. This bool: is for those who love and honor Westertfille High School, and it is sincerely hoped that all will be pleased. mm ! -T - l lIIl 1--1-ri ff fe ' ll 1 A fi' Track 4, Ggfgt THF SEASON OF 1921, track was again added to the list of sports of 1' 9 W H S Westerville has consistently won in this sport.

They also sent three men to the Big Six meet at Ohio State University in conjunction with the State meet for College. All high schools in the state were entered. With the three men entered W. H. S. 'placed two seconds and two thirds. The next year, the season of 1923, Westerville High more than doubled the score on their nearest opponent in the Franklin County Track Meet thus giving them the cup permanently. On the same day of the Franklin County Meet Coach Parks sent four of his men to the Big Six preliminary meet held at Dennison. These four men brought home three Hrsts and a third place in the meet. The next week, South High of Columbusg winner of the Big Six preliminary was challenged by W. H. S. Westerville won this dual meet by the score of 67 to 5 5. The stiffest program for the W. H. S. Track team was presented in the season of 1924. In this season the team was entered in five meets. The first of these five meets, the Ohio Relays, was held early in the season. W. H. S. entered for events but due to too heavy competition did not place in any of them. The next was a dual meet with Bexley High of Columbus. W. H. S. won this meet by a score of 69 to 38. K The third meet was the Central Ohio District Elimination meet held under the auspices of the Ohio Wesleyan University at Delaware. South High of Columbus took this meet with Westerville in second place only four points behuid. In this meet, however, our mile relay team brought home another cup to add to our collection of trophies. The next meet was the Central Ohio meet. Westerville won this meet by a good margin. The team entered in the State meet and brought home a second and two fourths. The season of 1925 has just started. There is some very encouraging material out for all events. It looks to be as full a season as the previous one. Louis A. Weinland '26 . A l u m n 1 Continued from Page Fiftyfsix EARL LANDON, 229 North State St., ' 1905 Westerville Creamery. .

Page Eighty-five tw A - i ' M uslim 5 y The VV Association Three years ago the W Association of W. H. S, was organized. All men who have made their letter in any of the three sports sponsered by Westerville High School are eligible for mem' bership. Henry Seneff was the first president of the Association and held his office for two years. Coach Parks was given honorary membership in recognition of his services rendered to the ad' vancement of athletics in W. H. S. It was he who suggested the organization of such an associaf tion. The Association now boasts of a membership of twenty-two. This body of Westerville High School Athletes stands for the very highest type of sport. The Association is proud of the men representing the various teams of Westerville H-igh School not only for their success in winning games, but for their fine spirit of sportsmanship. The requirements for membership are such that it is a distinction to belong to the Association. In both football and basketball a man must play at least half of the quarters played that year. In track a man must make at least five points hi one meet, or run on a winning relay team. All high school athletics must be influenced thru the Association for it is this organization that comes in very close contact with the players them' selves. Louis Weinland '26 W Page Eighty-six WEP - e ' -- - .ta ls ' in ll A rr - n vaf if iiii , 4-111 L ' RUSSELL GARRABRANT Manager tt Grubbyn was an ardent follower of the team and a faithful manager. He worked hard for the team, but he never could carry enough water to satisfy the thirst of the team. U1 ARTH UR GoRsUci-r Guard Ambitious had three years on the second team behind him and was ready for the op' portunity which his weight offered him. He was a consistent and aggressive player espec' ially when riled up. JOSEPH LITTLE Tackle This was Joe Joes' hrst year of football for W. H. S. He was a scrapper and work' ed real hard for the team. His place will be hard to fill next year. WARREN DUNCAN Fullback Klee's one delight was offftaclcle plays. What he lacked in weight he made up in speed and Hght. He had a knack of snag- gingn hard passes. i'Klee is a Sophomore this year. REGINALD DixoN .Quarterback This is Rags second year of football in W. H. S. This year he played a stellar game at quarterback instead of end where he played the year before. Rags could punt, pass. carry the ball. and receive passes to perfection. IULIAN YANTIS Right End junie held one of the flanking positions. He was tall and good at snagging passes and spilling interference. This was Iunies first year at end. Iunie is a Senior and his posi' tion will be hard to Hll next year. PEARL DAY Right Tackle This is Scrooges first year of football and a successful one too. Scrooge had a lot of fight and was as hard as nails. The team will miss him, his characteristic fight and Wit next year. ggi- we , il. .A p , v'-7-I Q .. xx T A UW, l Q ix ,G Y I 1 R 51 -Aw RT. - x F FTP A i. 5 Q E-i tl Page Eighty-Seven ll9l!flllllllll 5il llllllllh---A Q - -'lllll , b' Q ILGIIUTI Sl Q -,,,, n!lllllIll M E11 vs, z . -Q F F M.: : Ifgf' I rl. y I gi E if i, 1 ' -Y.

A rare sight it was to see a 125 pound bundle of nerve and speed to chalk up ten to fifteen yards around end. jess was a good dropkicker and has one more year in which to show his stuff. WILLIAM FRAzIER Left End Bill was born a defensive end and often snagged some neat passes. This makes Bill's third year as a member of W. H. S.'s Foot- ball machine. We hope he will be with us another year. EARL MILLER Center There was much speculations this year as to who would fill the position of center for W. H. S. After Frankie played the pivot position in the Coschocton game it was deiif nitely decided. Frankie was a scoring center this year. He has one more year to show his speed for W. H. S. LAWSON JOHNSTON Left Half Marty is quiet when on the street but just wait until he gets into a football uniform. He is changed into a scrapping backfield. Marty was a triple threat man, doing pracictally all the punting and much passing and line bucking. Marty is a Junior this year and should star again next year for the red and white. KENNETH CORNELL Sub 'Tackle Ken played on the second team for four years and was awarded the coveted for his efforts. His scrap and Hght furnished opposition for the first team, which contribut' ed greatly towards its success. RONALD HARSHA Full Back Although Ron did not hit his stride until the latter part of the season, he was a val' uable man all the time. When he did hit his stride he just couldn't be stopped but was sure to stop the opposing play. Ron is a Senior. 2 1 I I l T 5l'llllllll ll Z Xl Y --nuiwg LLL -1111 X. GERALD ROSSELOT Sub. Half Back Rossie was another man who did not tally enough quarters anyone year to acquire a letter. but because of his efforts was also awarded the coveted BERNARD GIBBS Right Half This was Bunny's first year' in W. H. S. athletics. He was a fast backfield man but insisted on carrying the ball like a loaf of bread. Bunny was a consistent ground gain' er for the Red and White and was good at breaking up passes. ARTHUR MILLS Guard This is Blubbers second and last year at guard on the W. H. S. grid team. Blubber never had a great deal to say, but let his ac- tions speak instead of words. His position is an important one and someone will have to work hard to Sll it next year, OTMER RiDENoL'R Full Back Foggy is another one nf Westerville's fast backheld men. He backed up the line on defense and was good on was a consistent player up football. Foggy is but we expect to hear college. the line bucks. He and played heads a Senior this year more from him in EDNVIN WALKER Guard Eddie shared the guard position with Blubf ber Mills this year and shows good promise of equaling him next year. This is Eddie's first year of football and he still has another. His wise cracks often help to tide over a wet practice. PAUL WURM 'Tackle Mart had one year of experience which came in handy this year. He was a scrap' per and although heavy, was quick and very hard to move from his position, He is one of the few men who did not miss more than two quarter of play. Page Eighty-nine Miiil ig Wil 1 ' :-. 1. :ga s v, fe . xl 1 N 'I I Page Ninety In--- Q -,,-:Ill 61, FLOYD FICkEL Manager Floyd was manager for both boys and girls team Fickel was an eflicient manager and was always on the job His particular delight was to referee for the girls practice. IULIAN YAN1'is Right Forward Iunie was the only letter man left from last year's squad, He was an excellent shot from anywhere between center and the foul line. His playing will be missed next year. WARREN DUNCAN Left Guard Klee played a snappy brand of basketball whether at guard or forward. He was fast on his feet and seemed to have a knack of intercepting passes. Klee is a Sophomore this year. LAWSON JOHNSTON Left Guard Marty played a wonderful game at sta' tionery guard. When it came to spoiling shots and breaking up plays Marty was right there. Marty was also good on guard plays. He has another year. EARL MILLER Right Guard Frankie played at running guard and could be seen any where on the floor. His special' ity was caging long shots. He will be able to show his scrap again next year. FRANCIS LONG Center Hiram played a consistent game at center. At times he would drop back to the guard position where he -made a good guard. Hiram never could get worried. He has another year for W. H. S. BERNARD Giaas Left Forward Bunny was a consistent star on the basket- ball floor. He was quick, tricky and an ex- cellent shot from any angle of the floor Bunny is a Sophomore. ICH , Sf, num---.--- ,,-.....--muu gl DORTI-Iv BISHOP Biddy Biddy was a regular two years ago but was unable to play last year. This year she was a regular again and certainly made up for lost time. Biddy is right there when it comes to guarding and we feel sorry for the forward she guards. Dorthy has another year in W. H. S. MARY LEONA KE LsER As a guard Mary Leona is one of the best and steadiest. No matter where the ball or the forward, she is always right there at the right time. Kelser is another Senior whose place will be hard to fill. MARIAN DEW Captain Much of the team's success this year may be credited to Captain Dew. For three years her fighting spirit has won her a regular place at forward. Marianne is a sure shot and can always be counted on for a basket when it is most needed. This is Dewy's senior year and her place will be hard to Hll. FREDA Moss Freda is another girl who has the honor of four years as a regular on the squad at side center or forward. she plays a fast and con' sistent game. Her loss will be greatly felt. especially by Coach Parks. Iota MOBRAY For getting the tip off and snappy passing Red is hard to beat. lola plays center and sure has fight as you will notice if you will gaze on her locks. Red is a junior and we hope to have her with us again next year. PAULINE HowE Although usually playing at guard. one may expect to see Pauline at either guard or cen- ter. This is her second year as a regular and as she is a Senior it is the last. OPAL CARPENTER Carpenter This was Opal Carpenter's second year as a regular. Opal plays at forward, showing lots of fight and makes baskets from almost any angle of the floor. W. H. S. is fortun- ate in having her for another year. EDITH PRIEST Priestg is another Senior forward who will leave a position that cannot be easily filled. This is the fourth year she has represented W. H. S. as a regular on the Basketball floor. Priesty was high point scorer this year for the Red and White. r . ' Ib XV. rgff -Af lf -sf-W .

He made his record in the Big Six district meet at Delaware in 1924. He does not seem to have reached his limit yet. Louis WEINLAND Dashes Louie is tied for the record in the hundred yard dash in W. H. S. He hrst made his letter when a Freshman and his record when a Sophomore. He is looked upon as being in good shape for still better time in the future. RONALD HARSHA Distance Ron excelled especially in the half mile and holds the High School record of Frank' lin County, made in the season of 1923. Ron bids fair to equal his record in the future. OTMER RIDENOUR Dashes Foggy is a letter man from 1924 and bids fair to set a fast pace for any one this year. He was very persevering and resulted in his success in track last year. Foggy will be missed next year on the track team. OSBORNE HOLDREN Distance Andy is the miler of the school and holds the Franklin County High School record in the mile run. - Andy made his record run in the Franklin County Meet held at Columf bus in 1923. ' EARL COLLIER Javelin Dutch hurls the javelin an exceptional dis' tance, holding the W. H. S. record throw. He made his record throw in the Bexley meet in the season of 1924.
