The next start was equally unsuccessful, but when we got into the new gym the team started and won victory after vietory, losing one now and then to keep from getting perfect. Our basketball team was eomposed of ten men, seven of them letter men from last year. Bohn, the captain and one of the forwards led the team through the season with the skill of a professional and when a basket was needed he was very reliable and every game would find him sinking in some points. Our other forward on the first team was Brown. He could slip them a defense with perfeetion and was a great help in working the ball BASKl+lTBAl .L 1 925-1926 through any kind of a defense. He collected his quota of points every game and is figuring on going thru an even more sueeessful season next year. Red at eenter was high point man, collecting about H0 points this season, not quite equaling his reeord of last year. 'l'he guards Rudasill and Zink did some wonderful work on the floor this year, sometimes eorering three or four men while the front line defense was coming back to their aid. These two lnen proved to he the long shot artists of the team, especially Rudy, while Zink would get points hy breaking fast down the center of the floor. The other team whieh played games on their sehedule turned out about equal to the first team. Uarpenter at renter with Smith and Nl'illiams forward and Richards and Foreaker at guard kept the first team plugging to be kept from being pinched. After loosing a game the first team would continue to get drubbing after druhbing from the second team till they grew tired and then they would proceed to wallop the next team that came along. Both teams were good and only the eoach can tell you whieh was the best. Through his efforts we brought home a banner from the county tournament. Bowling Green was an upset and the team was so angry they turned around and wiped up Attica in their own little gym, proving that we still had some pep and could fight. Mr. Dickson nmst be given credit for turning out such a team and keeping them from going stale for this year we had the biggest schedule ever known to VV. H. S. and it wasn't a failure either, but a success. 000000000000OOOOOOOQOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO00000000000OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO 1 -L v b ,4- oooooooooooooooooooooooooooo oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo May, 1926 THE CRIMSON AND VVHITE 11 XVHC 7 'S XVH1 DATHE G I RLS, VARSITY l'lLlNlA PINK Captain Fink has proven her worth on the I3a.:-:kctball Team and has han- dled the tcani cleverly. XVillai'd High will miss her in athletics next year be- cause she has qualified for any posi- tion on the floor. Elma. will, no doubt, continue her basketball career, so here's to your future Elma. TULLIS LICCREIGHT For the past two years Tut has held some position on the team, each of which we know she was worthy. This year she played forward and some- times center. She has proven herself to be the high point man by ending up the season with a record of 72 points. This being.: hcl' last year to partake in l'l. S. Athletics we wish her luck on an independent or college tcam. R.l'1l3A BENNETT Reba too is another to be missed next year by VVillard High School. She tried her luck at forward and ob- tained results for she has gained a re- putation of dropping them in rather frequently. She ended up the season with a, record of sixty-eigflit points, of which she can be proud, VVe expect to see hcr also continue in basketball. J link N ROBERTSON Next comes .lr-an, our able guard who never failed to do her duty for the team. She could always be de- pended upon and always played a steady game. She also is a Senior who has shown her ability in more ways than one or at least we know a bright senior boy who thinks so-Eh, Jean?

It is impossi- ble to develope only the hrain and still remain a perfect lmman being. The only perfect man was perfect mentally, spiritually and physically, so we should seek to live up to this standard. Every fall for the last five years we have had football as the leading sport and year by year we have turned out better teams. This year was no exception and with Rudy at the helm our football team climbed several notches higher. Rudy, whom everyone knows, is a senior and we are proud of him. He has been a letter-man every ycar in all sports since he has invaded High School. He has been captain of foot- ball, baseball and basketball teams, and he surely can run a team. He ran his teams so successfully that the senior class decided to have him stear them through the last year in old VV. H. S. Another 1926 hero is Mr. R. E. D. Davis. Red, like Rudy, also has a basket full of letters and I believe the class of 1926 is the only one that can boast of two men that have earned letters in all sports for four years. Red was our timid little fullback. When his turn came in a game he would grab the ball, then Fink, and away we'd go for anywhere from two FOOTBALL TEAM Io 102 yards. The handsome quarterback, who trained and practiced every cvcuiugr out at the edge of t0VWl uwis nouc other than Leslie Forcakcr. llc called signals with his little shrill voice and tackle he would wrap an arm around a fellow's neck and apply his old nat- ural strangle hold. Vi'e had other good backs this year also, who came thru the season in fine shape. Walker, who skipped through the 'line like a phantom, Smith and Batchelder who worked signals from time to timeg Link and Brown, who played half-back and way back as safety man, changing from one position to another, depending on l0ca.l weather and atmospherical conditions. Hedley and Vi'illiams finished our backtield, the former playing half and the latter plays quarter. They both will be back again and expect to rc- serve u place on ncxt ycar's tcam. Our line remained nearly the samc as last year's. Fink at ccntcr, wcnt through the season line and developed his strangle hold to a. peak of perfec- tion. On either side of him were the guards Van Allen and ltichardsg Mar- tin, Mehling and Carpenter tackles with Cross and Bohn holding down the ends. The other linemen were bone crush- cr Reese, Johnson, Suitnr, Snlook, Slack and Bloody Garducr. Most of these fellows will he hack next fall and they surely should have a successful team. Our Coach Mr. Dickson was re- sponsible in many ways for the teaui's success, for hc could put the fight in them so they could eat nails. Mr. Maurer, who also was interested in the team, cooperated whole-hcartedly in any undertaking. The two of them could be seen every Saturday tearing: around the country in their Baby I.in- coln, one driving and the other praying that all the telephone poles and fences would please refrain from colliding with them. The season was a success and to wind it up the mothers grave a won- derful banquet that will never be for- gotten. Many new faces will be seen on the team next fall as Capt. Rada- sill, Davis, Fink, Bohn, Smith, Rich- ards, Yan Allen, Cross Carpenter, Mehi-ling, Martin, Tompkins, Batchel- dcr, Reese and Slack have all played their last game for the Crimson and VVhite, though they will probably ap- pear in future alumni line-ups. Everyone is sorry to leave when the time comes for parting, but we all will remember and extend, our best wishes t0 Herman Zink, captain of the 1926 team. oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo oooooooooooooooo oooocfoooooo ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooocvofoooooo-900410-3-oooociQQ-Qs,--ox:-oo4:m'.,moQbo May, 1926 THE CRIMSON AND WHITE l'i P11-sirimif .,,, Vim- Pri-simicllt Sl'l'l'l'f21l'f' :md 'I'rv:1su '26 Brown R.u4i:1sil1 Herschel C211'PC'IltCl' Robert Smith Clmrics Cross Morrison Van Aiivi Hurry lil!-tCllL'idL?l' I HI-Y CLVB Hurry FUI' ... .... 0 '27 Clmrlcs Burrows Paul Fackier Harold Recd VVliI'l'GIl C11l'll21ll2llll 1'i1'nest llillvr VVz1iter VVilli:1ms Lucius VValkc1' A.

Almost all of' you are probably very happy at the thought of going on to another school. Willard High asks, VVhat are your memories of her and are they pleasant ones? She hopes they are. One of your pleasant memories will be the sat- isfaction of knowing that you are the first class to be graduated from our fine, new building. The pupils and teachers of' Viiillard High School are sorry to have you leave, but they know that you are go- ing to another school and eventually into the world to do, as we all hope, great thinrrs. NVe all aspire to be Seniors some- time, and we sincerely hope that we shall be able to fill the honor place as well asyou have. Here is wishing' every member of the Senior Class the very best that life holds. May each member realize, that it is only through labor that we rise and that it is our duty to strive to do our best in all things. Willard does not want you to forget her, but most of all, Willard does not want you to lose the spirit that you ADIEU Alma Mater, we bid thee adieu. It is with a note of sadness in our voice that we say this, but pleasant memories so greatly outshine the sadness that we a.re able to say farewell without a tear. The Senior Class of 1926, is proud of VJ. H. S. VVe are grateful for the inspiration to greater thiuas which she has put into our lives, and proud of her achievements in the field and on the floor as well as in the class- room. Though we may not always have been a credit to her, we know that her influence will ever be a leavening agent within our lives and that we will strive to honor her name in the world of so- ciety and business which we enter. We praise our community for the gift of a new home for our Alma Mater. It was much needed and is a fitting abode for the VV. H. S. which we can vision a few years hence. VV. H. S. has been our school and we must admit that, if it were not for her splendid school spirit and co-opera- tion we would not have progressed so rapidly. To the classes still within the gates of VV. H. S. we give our good wishes. Vl'e trust that they may give of their best too, and in return receive learn- ing, strength and happiness from our 'THQ5 COLUMN' fam -v - Shiek: So you can't take a joke?

Ophelia Rose Old Rose and Silver CLASS l-IISTCDRY Some four years ago in what is known as the period of speculation, a group of lusty adventurers were seen approaching from different directions, a new field of learning. They were not the first however to do this, but the quaking fear of not knowing what was coming next, took hold and possessed this group, which turned out to be the class of '26. Much to the surprise of all on that eventful day, our class was woefully sprinkled over the entire building. The system of changing classes was the despair of the Fresh- men and the determination of the teachers, that's why we have to over- look some of their queer actions. How- ever to show what a really bright class we had, we settled into the routine of the intriques and mysteries of the High School life, within the week. During that period of strife and struggle the upper classmen thought to introduce a new mode of hair cut and finding no group so illustrious as we Freshmen they used us as their models. This type of hair cut became so popular as to warrant an investigation by the mayor and that gentleman found it lacking in certain qualities and the fad passed away. We are proud to say that our com- ing into high school was along with the first established eighth period rule. Anxious to see what this system was, a number from our class were in daily attendance. On the field of battle our class was present with a large repre- sentation which proved to be the back- ing of all athletics. Thus, in short, passed the first period of our high school life. We turned out in full strength for our second year. This time we were all excited by thc hopes of a new school building. 'lhis period could be called the period of obscurity as my thoughts are all somewhat dim. The outstand- ing thing by which we can establish our claim to leadership is the account of tilt!

A soloist was den talents were orchestra which would receive an found to be in our class and several speakers were developed. For the class as a Wlllllt' the proper spirit was mani- Iested by all, the spirit winch will make any movement a success and which put our class among the foremost. Unless my ever moving pencil betrays me, several episodes have been passed over. This next period is the one of finding ourselves. we found ourselves in the role of upper-classmen. Ahern! Our class stepped forward in the beginning of the year in the line of athletics. The greater bulk of the team's strength was found to be from the class of 26. ln magazine selling, our class was the first to have sold its quota. An oper- ettu, given in this eventful year, was composed largely of our class and through this the music based in high school was raised from the bankrupt state to one of the financially secure. The class as a whole deeply lamented having only eight months of school and no exams that year. CNOte: I had my fingers crossed at the time this was writtenj. The greatest occasion of this year was the Junior-Senior ban- quet. We spent much time and pains for the event in order to make it a success. The night it was given, we had fears of losing five of our mem- bers as the chirping Sparrow five ren- dered somc vocal refrains that threat- ened to run the Metropolitan Opera Stars from the stage. An' lo! Yea, the third period. When we started on the last year of our high school life, little was thought of what we would have to go through as full-fledged upper class- men. New courses were given and so we forthwith delved into them, little knowing ...................... guess! The first social occasion was a Hallowe'en party. A popularity contest was held in the schoolland the bulk of the student'S choice were Seniors. Several hobby notions were put forth by the Senior class. But stop a minute people, for in the meantime our much hoped for school building has been completed and we are now in it. 1 cannot help but think at this time, how hard we work- ed three years ago to distribute the propoganda for it, so we deserve a share of praise in starting it. Another operetta was given and six out of eight principal characters were from the class of '26. Music was furnished by one of our class. This was to pay for stage settings. Then we think we have the interest of the high school imbeded in us. Recently a Senior-Junior party was held, where our mothers served a. delightful supper. And now you see the encouragement by which We can accomplish so many things. In short, the work of the class of '26 can be ex- pressed as First In Everything. The fourth and last episode is ended.

Here an inspiring soothsayer leaned over a tripod situat- ed in a large cave and interpreted the mystic signs of the gods, issuing forth from the rock fissures. One night after translating an ac- count of this oracle in Virgil's Anead, I fell asleep and dreamed that I was in the midst of a band of Trojan WRITI- derers who had come to consult the oracle at Delos to learn the will of the gods. The soothsayer seemed to beckon to me and told me to lean over the tripod and strange things would be revealed unto me, things which no human ear had ever before been priv- ileged to hear. I did as I was told and heard strange rumblings coming up from the bowels of the earth. Then the sounds became more distinct and I could hear voices uttering familiar names. Finally the mists began to clear in my befuddled brain and I recognized the name of Evelyn Simmons. Anxious to .learn what was to become of this fair maid I bent closer and discovered that in the bottom of the tripod pictures were beginning to appear. Then I realized I was looking at none other than the youthful Miss Simmons' future, illus- trated by small but distinct slides. She seemed to be in a cage with two raging lions, but whether they were the l.ion's brothers or sisters, I did not know. At first I feared for her safety, but later it dawned upon me that she had become a lion tamer. Alas, thought I, is this the sole attainment which her brilliant intellect has gained. But another surprise awaited me for there, clearly illustrated in glowing colors was the beautiful Isabelle Bish- op balanced on a tight rope, holding a Japanese parasol in one hand and in the other a picture of her handsome lover, Herschel Carpenter. It seemed that Isabelle had become a renowned tight rope walker of great grace and agility. Next the flap of a circus tent appear- ed, and on the outside were the words, VVorld's Greatest 'Wonders, the Only Genuine Freaks in Captivityf' Then further down I read, Harry Simmer- macher, the fattest man in the world, weight 628 pounds, and Irene Stock- master, the human skeleton, weight 78 pounds. Don't fail to see them. Ad- myission only 75c. I had to surpress a giggle as l saw this and in doing so, I lost my false teeth into the tripod caus- ing the next picture to be obstructed somewhat, but, my teeth having been regained, I discovered it was a picture of Marguerite Coates and Sylvester Davis, married and settled in a charm- ing bungalow. Sylvester had made his fortune by appearing in advertisements for Brilliantine. Then the tripod suddenly became frosty and icicles formed on the sides. Next a picture appeared of the North Pole with a small American Flag proudly floating from it. Then an air- plane whizzed down and Leslie and Jean stepped out attired in furs and goggles. Leslie explained, for my benefit, that they were on their honey- moon in the far north where they un- expectedly came upon the North Pole. However, he wasn't very much enthus- ed over the discovery as Jean's heart had turned to ice in the extremely cold atmosphere, and he was very anxious to hurry her back to a warmer clime. Then a most horrible picture flashed into view, I saw before my terrified eyes Violet Miller surrounded by can- nibals, who were just getting ready to put her in a large iron kettle in order to serve her as dessert for dinner. She had become a missionary to the South Sea. Isles, hence the result. Poor Vio- let, I thought, why did she reject the faithful love of Ronald Reese for such a fate. The next slide showed Mary Law- rence, Annette Arthur, Jeanette Kel- logg and Mardel Hershiser snnning themselves on a rock in the vast ocean, combing their golden hair and singing the Lorelei. They had evidently turn- ed into mermaids and were luring sail- ors to' their destruction. Then I saw a ship sailing toward them with Brown Rudacille in command, waving a black flag. Heaven forbid, thought I, has he turned into a pirate? He evidently had for he and his crew were singing, Yo-ho-ho and a bottle of furniture polish, in loud voices, and were wear- ing the pirate -garb of red pantaloons, green vests, purple turbans and gold ear-rings. His crew consisted oi' Tag Slack, who evidently acted as cook, as he was brandishing two butcher knives and held a rolling pin in his teeths Marian Moos, Herschel Carpenter ima Charles Cross. Helen Secor had join- ed the crew as 'Rudy's frau and made a charming bandit. Then came another sea picture, and this time the sea, or possibly the Atlantic ocean, had a sign stuck in it reading, Three-Mile Limit. Then I perceived Harry Batchelder and Lola Dawson, fellow bootleggers, load- ing a light craft with hugh kegs label- ed Imported Fish Glue. Next the scene changed to a quiet country village and I saw a fish peddler coming down the thoroughfare blowing his nose very loudly, as he had broken his horn. Finally recognized. him as Morry Van Allen and perceived, sitting on the seat with him none other than Reba Bennett. She had a hugh case of limburger cheese which she was selling rapidly, as she furnished a gas mask free with each pound. I next saw a picture of Margie Moos under a hickory tree mending Paul Vllilliam Jr's socks. Just as I looked, a fat green worm fell down her neck and she made so much noise that she caused the tri- pod to shake as if struck by a thunder- bolt. However, all became calm as the picture passed out of sight and another took its place. This time it was Robert Smith looking from behind prison bars. He had been placed there for failing to pay his wife's beauty shop bill. His wife, by the way, was Laura Dawson and the bill amounted to 331,150 for one month. Then I saw a picture of a western ranch. Hannah Purcell and Dorothy Miller were prancing around on fiery steeds, waving lariats. Evidently each had roped something, for dangling from Hannah's lariat was Bill Tomp- kins singing, Tie Me To Your Apron Strings Again. However, Hannah cooly informed him that he would be the one to wear aprons hereafter, as she was boss now and intended to make him wash the dishes, make the hash, etc. Dorothy had roped in Stacey Richards whom she was cruelly strang- ling by pulling the rope too tight. Hearing a sigh for these two young CContinued on Page 183 G 0OOOOOO'vOO'5'5O'SOO0000000000000OOOO0000OOOOOOOOQ00-900000000000 .Lys nc' K rr r' J ,J FR...

SENIOR CLASS PROPHECY CContinued from Page 175 Lochinvars' sad fates I suddenly was stricken with horror for there before my eyes was Harriet Futerer in a Flor- ida lagoon, trying to escape the two jaws of a hungry alligator and a bank- rupt real estate dealer. Poor child, I thought: better let the alligator get you. Then :i cold spray of salt water struck my eyes and I realized that I was gazing into the English Channel. And therc, struggling with the icy cur- rent was Tullis Mcflreight, coughing up sharks and cuttletish nt every breath. But to my vast delight she at last reached shore and found that dangling from one foot was a serene appearing lobster. Leaving Tullis to her victory and the lobster, I looked for more pic- tures but suddenly I became aware of a Trojan warrior knocking me on the head with a club. Terrified, I started out of the cavc on the run, leaving the remaining Senior's fates still unreveal- ed and receiving blows on the head from each warrior as I did so. VVith n start I awoke and found myself sit- ting on the floor in front of the rock- ing chair in which I had fallen asleep while studying Virgils Anead. The sharp arm of the chair was striking my head each time it rocked back and forth. Goodness, thought I, suppose those prophecies should come true!

Allison. went to as- sume the duties of High School Prin- cipal of the iVarren City Schools. The school system here was so well organ- ized that what otherwise miprht have been a very diiiicult undertaking: prov- ed to be a pleasant one. In the fall of 1915, there was added to the curriculum, Manual Training. Mr. Shatter of Galion was employed as instructor in that work. His work proved to be very satisfactory as did that of his successor, Mr. Thurman Black of Shelby. A course in sewing was arranged for the girls. So, when the boys of a grade were out of the room for Manual Training the sewing class was in progress for girls. The pupils of the sixth, seventh and eighth grades were required to take the work, but for those in high school it was elective. Both these courses proved to be very popular among the pupils. In the spring of 1925 because of the de- pleted condition of the treasury it was voted to discontinue these two courses until such time as we could occupy the new building. When that time CJan- uary 4, 19263 came, again the time of resuming the work was deferred. When they are resumed n thorough course in Home Economics will be provided for. This can now be done because of the fine equipment in the new building. We have the equipment for Manual Training. If Vocational Agriculture be the course selected a little additional equipment will be needed. From 1915 on the school progress was satisfactory and the enrollment in- creasing at a normal rate until the numbers became so large that addition- al rooms were needed. First a two- room, temporary building was erected. This served to take care of the increas- ing numbers for a short time, when it was evident that u large building would be a necessity. Actual work on the construction of the new building was begun in March, 1925. Under the efficient management of Architect G. E. Scott and Mr. Shultz, Superintendent of Construction for Baker and Shindler, General Con- tractors, the work progressed so rapid- ly that we were enabled to occupy the new quarters, January 4-, 1926. Wil- lard now has as good equipment as any district of its size in northern Ohio.

Poor lbbie never eats a thing, That is the song she always singsg But if she lives up to this rule, NVhy is she the plumpest girl in school? Jene with eyes of blue and voice so soft Fearing a laugh holds herself aloof. Oh! said she, do let the joke be On the other fellow, but not on me. She powders, paints, primps and curls, Then she's oft' with a very brisk whirl: With shoulders back and head high, Just look, Catherine is passing by. What is so rare on this April day, NVhen all longing some prank to play, As to see Marguerite with dignity and pride, Right down the banister to slide. Marion and Marjorie, the sisters so dear, When needed, they're always nearq Kind, studious, cheerful and sweet, And for friends, they eanlt be beat. Dorothy, the precise and dignified, She may well carry her head with pride, Has she not four years with nothing but E's? A record the whole school to amaze.

SENIOR JINGLES Prepare to laugh and be gray, For Mardel is with us this very day: Here with all her wit, Laugh on, you just can't quit. Paul, a husky farmer lad, great, Hurry and scurry and never late, ls he slow and afraid of work? Why, he was never known to shirk. Tut wants a good time, just pleasure Vl'ith no books, whcre she's at leisure You will always find her at the shew, Even if her lessons have to go. Evelyn the musician of our class, No one yet has been able to surpass As pianist, she is certainly grand: And as editor, quite high she stands. I-lark! NVhat is the sound? Surely Morry is on the ground. A eoronc-t's sweet note we hear, As around him they crowd near. Mary is such a little girl, But best talker in the worldg She surely can make a noise, Especially when her subject is boys. Dear little Eloise, so good and kind, Another like her would be hard to find. Children's favorite and high school pet, We love her dearly, yes, you bet. Rudy, the football vampire great, Pouneing on others at a terrible rate, Forward boys, onward with a smile, Help Capt. Rudaeille gain another mile. Faye, the praised poet of the class, Has won much honor in the past I-lark! Here comes our sister Stacy, Scattering! sunshine along the way, Dead in love with every girl, Yet not the most popular in the world. Hannah, one of the dearest girls in school, Is dependable and never breaks a rule: She is as honest and good as gold, And her entertainment never grrow: old. I-larry B, the very life of the school, ls not at all careful of rules. He's always up to some prank, That is why teacher's are tempted fu spank. Spellbound and fascinated we sat, As her voice roared or came with a snap, Or else lowered soft and sweet- Annette, the reader is on her feet.
